Words are easy to be spoken
I know that and so do you
But when I said "I love you, Darling"
Every word of it was true
Fancy words, I've never used them
Since I met you from the start
Plain old simple words are better
They come directly from the heart
When I take your hand forever
All the chapel bells will chime
Woh-oh-oh-oh, we will say I do together
And with these words, I'll make you mine
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by
There are loved ones in the glory
Whose dear forms you often miss
When you close your earthly story
Will you join them in their bliss
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by-y, by and by (by and by)
In a better home awaiting
In the sky (in the sky)
In the sky (in the sky)
You can picture happy gatherings
Round the fireside long ago
And you think of tearful partings
When they left you here below
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by-y, by and by (by and by)
In a better home awaiting
In the sky (in the sky)
In the sky (in the sky)
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by-y, by and by
In a better home awaiting
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
(I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know)
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
Suntanned, windblown
Honeymooners at last alone
Feeling far above par
Oh, how lucky we are
While I give to you
And you give to me
True love, true love
So on and on it will always be
True love, true love
For you and I have a guardian angel
On high with nothing to do
But to give to you and to give to me
Love forever true
For you and I have a guardian angel
In high with nothing to do
But to give you and to give to me
Love forever true
Love forever true
After all the jacks are in their boxes,
And the clowns have all gone to bed,
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street,
Footprints dressed in red.
And the wind whispers Mary.
A broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life.
Somewhere a Queen is weeping,
Somewhere a King has no wife.
And the wind cries Mary.
The traffic lights turn blue tomorrow
Shine their emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island sags downstream
'Cos the life that they lived is dead.
And the wind screams Mary.
Oh oh yeah
Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past
With this crutch, its old age and its wisdom
It whispers, "No, this will be the last."
Frosted window panes
Candles gleaming inside
Painted cany canes on the the tree
Santa's on his way,
He's filled his slay
With things, things for you and for me
It's the time of year
When the world falls in love
Every song you hear
Seems to say
Merry Christmas
May your new year dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too
Merry Christmas
May your new year dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too
Oh, sugar moon
Come out tonight
Bring me your glow
Of angel light
Here in my arms
Our love will bloom
If you will shine
Oh, sugar moon
While you shine down
From up above
I'll hold her close
And talk sweet love
And in your glow
We'll hear love's tune
Then she'll be mine
City sidewalks busy sidewalks dressed in holiday style
In the air there's the feeling of Christmas
Children laughing people passing meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear
Silver bells silver bells it's Christmas time in the city
Ring a ling hear them ring soon it'll be Christmas Day
City street lights even stop lights blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crush see the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene and above all this bustle you hear
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah
Christ, the Savior is born
She is filled with mixed emotions
From a need that keeps messin' up her mind
And she finghts the gentle pressures
That keep pullin' on her heart strings all the time
She does fine until somebody's touch wakes the sleeping passions inside of her
And she fights that lovin' feeling until I can love the fight right out of her.
She was turned into a woman
By a man and her love for him was strong
Then the love she knew was shattered
When she woke up one day and found him gone
But the craving for somebody's love is still ever present in her world
And she fights that lovin' feeling until I can love the fight right out of her.
It's so hard for her not to act like a woman
When all her lovin' feelings begin to stir
She prays for the love she remembers
And she fights that lovin' feeling until I can love the fight right out of her.
You know, the landlord rang my front door bell.
I let it ring for a long, long spell.
I went to the window,
I peeped through the blind,
And asked him to tell me what's on his mind.
He said,
Money, honey.
Money, honey.
Money, honey,
If you want to get along with me.
Well, I screamed and I hollered,
I was so hard-pressed.
I called the woman that I loved the best.
I finally got my baby about half past three,
She said I'd like to know what you want with me.
I said,
Money, honey.
Money, honey.
Money, honey,
If you want to get along with me.
Well, I said tell me baby, what's wrong with you?
From this day on our romance is through
I said, tell me baby, face to face
How could another man take my place?
She said,
Money, honey.
Money, honey.
Money, honey,
If you want to get a long with me.
Well, I've learned my lesson and now I know
The sun may shine and the winds may blow.
The women may come and the women may go,
But before I say I love you so,
I want
Money, honey.
Money, honey.
Love hurts, love scars,
Love wounds, and marks,
Any heart, not tough,
Or strong, enough
To take a lot of pain,
Take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
Holds a lot of rain
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
Im young, I know,
But even so
I know a thing, or two
I learned, from you
I really learned a lot,
Really learned a lot
Love is like a flame
It burns you when its hot
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
Some fools think of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
Theyre not foolin me
I know it isnt true,
I know it isnt true
Love is just a lie,
Made to make you blue
Love hurts, ooh,ooh love hurts
Ooh,ooh love hurts
[guitar solo]
I know it isnt true,
I know it isnt true
Love is just a lie,
Made to make you blue
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
Ooh ooh love hurts
Joy to the world the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare him room
And heaven and nature sing and heaven and nature sing
And heaven and heaven and nature sing
[ strings ]
Joy to the earth the Saviour reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods rocks hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Don't tell Aunt Mary about Uncle John.
He claims he got married, but he's having lots of fun.
Oh baby, yeah baby,
Ooh, baby, having me some fun tonight.
Well, long, tall Sally, she's built sweet,
She's got everything that Uncle John needs.
Oh baby, yeah baby,
Ooh baby, having me some fun tonight.
Well, I saw Uncle John with bald-head Sally,
He saw Aunt Mary coming and he ducked back in the alley.
Oh baby, yeah baby,

It came upon a midnight clear that glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold
Peace on the earth goodwill to men from heaven all gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing
(Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heavenly music floats o'er all the weary world)
Above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing
I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses.
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.
I’d stay in the garden with Him
Though the night around me is falling,
But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling.
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
This land is mine
God gave this land to me
This brave and ancient land to me
And when the morning sun
Reveals her hills and plains
Then I see a land
where children can run free.
So take my hand
And walk this land with me
And walk this lovely land with me
Tho' I am just a man
When you are by my side
With the help of God
I know I can be strong.
So take my hand
And walk this land with me
And walk this golden land with me.
Tho' I am just a man
When you are by my side
With the help of God
I know I can be strong.
To make this land our home
If I must fight
I'll fight to make this land our own.
When my deep purple falls over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to flicker in the sky
Through the mist of a memory you wander back to me
Breathing my name with a sigh
In the still of the night once again I hold you tight
Though you're gone your love lives on when moonlight beams
And as long as my heart will beat lover we'll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams
[ strings ]
I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill when I found you
The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill
And linger until my dreams came true
The wind in the willows plays love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made were never to be
Though we're apart you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill
The wind in the willows plays love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made were never to be
Though we're apart you're part of me still
I love Corrina tell the world I do I love Corrina tell the world I do
Just a little more lovin' makes your heart beat true
[ fiddle ]
Corrine Corrina where you've been so long Corrine Corrina where you've been so long
Ain't had no lovin' since you been gone
[ piano - fiddle ]
Corrine Corrina where you stayed last night Corrine Corrina where you stayed last night
Came home this morning sun was shinin' bright
[ guitar ]
Goodbye Corrina this is fare thee well goodbye Corrina this is fare thee well
Beyond the sunset oh blissful morning
when with our Saviour heaven has begun
Earth's toiling ended
oh glorious dawning beyond the sunset
when day is done
Beyond the sunset no clouds will gather
no storms will threaten no fears annoy
Oh day of gladness
oh day unending beyond the sunset
eternal joy
Beyond the sunset Oh glad reunion
with our dear loved ones who've gone before
In that fair homeland we'll know no parting
The Wang Dang Taffy-Apple Tango (Mambo Cha Cha Cha)
-Artist: Pat Boone from "Pat Boone's Greatest Hits"-Dot DLP 25455
-peak Billboard position # 62 in 1959
-Words and Music by J. Leslie McFarland and Aaron H. Schroeder
(Ooh)
They did the Wang Dang Taffy-Apple Tango
They did the Wang Dang Taffy-Apple Tango Mambo Cha Cha Cha
(Heel and toe?) I don't know
Last night at Papa Joe's my buddy met a lovely dove
She was the kind you never find but keep on dreamin' of
She did a dance we never saw before but sure did love
It was the Wang Dang Taffy-Apple Tango Mambo Cha Cha Cha
(Fast or slow?) I don't know (ooh)
Ooh la la la la la la la
(Ooh la la la la la la)
The crowd was tappin' and a-clappin' as the music played
His heart was right in time with every little move she made
Though he was shy she took his hand and said "Don't be afraid"
"Let's do the Wang Dang Taffy-Apple Tango Mambo Cha Cha Cha
(Nice and slow?) I don't know
Ooh la la la la la la la
(Ooh la la la la la la)
He did a spin and shook his shoulder
To get the zing of it, the sway and swing of it
But every time he tried to hold her
She'd shake and shout "Ol", (Ol) then go the other way
Now all night long he did it wrong but still it ended right
My buddy walked her home and got a kiss and held her tight
So you can bet he'll be at Papa Joe's tomorrow night
To do the Wang Dang Taffy-Apple Tango Mambo Cha Cha Cha
(To and fro?) I don't know
Ooh la la la la la la la

A-Wop-bop-a-loo-lop a-lop-bam-boo
Tutti Frutti, all over rootie,...
A-wop-bop-a-loo-lop a-lop bam boo
I got a gal, named Sue,
She knows just what to do. ...
I've been to the east, I'vebeen to the west, but
She's the gal
That I love the best.
Tutti Frutti, all over rootie,...
A-wop-bop-a-loo-lop a-lop bam boo
I got a gal, named Daisy,
She almost drives me crazy ...
She knows how to love me,
Yes indeed
Boy you don't know,
What she's doing to me
Tutti Frutti, all over rootie,...
A-wop-bop-a-loo-lop a-lop bam boo
I got a gal, named Daisy...
I gotta get some money and get it right away
Because my baby she gave me the word today
She's tired of sittin' home each night, she says she has her fill
And if I don't take her to the dance next week, Johnny will
I checked and found they're sellin' tickets at five bucks each
And all that kinda money ain't within my reach
But if I wanna be the guy who is her only thrill
I'd better take her to the dance next week or Johnny will
Oh, that Johnny, that no-good Johnny
He's been tryin' to steal my lovin' baby away-a
Sends her candy, sends her flowers
And I never saw her smile the way she smiled at him today
I tried to borrow it from my friends but they said no
Still somehow some way I just gotta get that dough
My future happiness depends on one ten-dollar bill
'cause if I don't take her to the dance next week, Johnny will, Johnny will
Oh, that Johnny, that no-good Johnny
He's been tryin' to steal my lovin' baby away-a
Sends her candy, sends her flowers
And I never saw her smile the way she smiled at him today
I tried to borrow it from my friends but they said no
Still somehow some way I just gotta get that dough
My future happiness depends on one ten-dollar bill
'cause if I don't take her to the dance next week, Johnny will, Johnny will
Oh that Johnny
I'll remember tonight
That lovely melody we danced to
The sweet confusion when we met
We never spoke a word and yet we knew
I'll remember your smile
The way it warmed me in the moonlight
The way my heart began to melt
The strange affection that I felt for you
To think that only a moment ago
We were no more than strangers
And now my heart tells me
That we are strangers no more
So whatever befalls
Our little world of joys and sorrows
I'll remember tonight
For a thousand and one tomorrows
To think that only a moment ago
We were no more than strangers
And now my heart tells me
That we are strangers no more
So whatever befalls
Our little world of joys and sorrows
I'll remember tonight
Just hang my picture
In the fools hall of fame (the fools hall of fame) (the fools hall of fame)
That's where I belong 'cause I was so wrong
For lettin' you go, for lettin' you go
The world will see me
In the fools hall of fame (the fools hall of fame) (the fools hall of fame)
They'll stop and they'll say "He turned her away
When she loved him so" (when she loved him so) (when she loved him so)
Why did I break the truest heart beneath the sun?
There may be biggest fools than me but just name me one, just name me one
Till you forgive me I just won't be the same
(won't be the same) (won't be the same)
Don't say it's the end, please don't make me spend a lifetime of shame

Last night we met
And I dream of you yet
With the wind and the rain in your hair
I held you tight
And you whispered "good night"
With the wind and the rain in your hair
Now it will be my favorite memory
That vision of you standing there
Oh, there in the mist
How you sighed when we kissed
With the wind and the rain in your hair
Now it will be my favorite memory
That vision of you standing there
Mm, there in the mist
How you sighed when we kissed
With the wind and the rain in your hair

You left me and you went away,
You said that you'd be back in just a day,
You've broken your promise and you left me all alone,
I don't know why you did dear, but I do know that you're gone.
CHORUS:
I'm walking the floor over you,
I can't sleep a wink that is true.
I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two,
Walking the floor over you.
Now darling you know I love you well,
I love you more than I can ever tell,
I thought that you wanted me and always would be mine,
But you went and left me here with troubled mind.
(CHORUS)
Now someday you may be lonesome too,
Walking the floor is good for you.
Just keep right on walking and it won't hurt you to cry,
Remember that I love you and I will until I die.
I’ll se you in my dreams
And I’ll hold you in my dreams
Someone took you right out of my arms
Still I feel the thrill of your charms
Lips that once were mine
Tender eyes that shine
They will light my way tonight
I’ll se you in my dreams.
Oh, someone took you right out of my arms
Still I feel the thrill of your charms
Lips that once were mine
Tender eyes that shine
They will light my way tonight
I wanna clap my hands
I wanna clap my hands
I wanna clap my hands
For my good fortune
I wanna clap my feet
I wanna clap my feet
I wanna clap my feet
For my good fortune
Each time I hold you
I'm really in a spin
You can see without your love
Just where I-Imighta been
I'm gonna give a shout
Stand right up and shout
I'm gonna give a shout
Clap my feet, clap my hands
For my good fortune
Each time I hold you
I'm really in a spin
You can see without your love
Just where I mighta been
I'm gonna give a shout
Stand right up and shout
I'm gonna give a shout
I'm gonna clap my feet
I'm gonna clap my hands
For my good fortune
Yeah
Oh, yeah
On a day like today
We passed the time away
Writing love letters in the sand
How you laughed when I cried
Each time I saw the tide
Take our love letters from the sand
You made a vow that you would ever be true
But somehow that vow meant nothing to you
Now my broken heart aches
With every wave that breaks
Over love letters in the sand
Now my broken heart aches
With every wave that breaks
(Deborah Chessler)
Does she love me
It's too soon to know
Can I believe her when she tells me so
Is she fooling
Is it all a game
Am I the fire or just another flame
A one-sided love would break my heart
She may be just acting and playing a part
If she don't love me
Let her tell me so
I won't hold her if she wants to go
Though I'll cry when she's gone
I won't die
I'll live on
If it's so
It's too soon
Way too soon to know
If she don't love me
Let her tell me so
I can't hold her if she wants to go
Though I'll cry when she's gone
I won't die
I'll live on
If it's so
It's too soon
(Ivory Joe Hunter)
When I lost my baby (baby)
I almost lost my mind
When I lost my baby (baby)
I almost lost my mind
My head is in a spin since she's left me behind
I went to see the gypsy
And had my fortune read
I went to see the gypsy
And had my fortune read
I hung my head in sorrow when she said what she said
Well, I can tell you, people (people)
The news was not so good
Well, I can tell you, people (people)
The news was not so good
She said "Your baby's left you"
"This time she's gone for good" (gone for good)
Got Dad's car and show fare
But that's no good to half a pair
Gee, but it's lonely bein' alone
May as well go home
Got on my suit, my shoes are shined
All dressed up for a real good time
Gee, but it's lonely bein' alone
Might as well go home
What's wrong with me that I can't find
Someone for my own?
Why should I be left behind?
Left to be alone
The girl I asked out told me a lie
There she goes with some guy
Gee, but it's lonely bein' alone
Guess I'll go on home
Guess I'll go on home
Guess I'll go on home
[Fade]
Guess I'll go on home
Thee I love, more than the meadow so green and still
More than the mulberries on the hill
More than the buds of a May apple tree, I love thee
Arms have I, strong as the oak for this occasion
Lips have I, to kiss thee too
In friendly persuasion, thee is mine
Though I don't know many words of praise
Thee pleasures me in a hundred ways
Put on your bonnet, your cape, and your glove
And come with me, for thee I love
Friendly persuasion, thee is mine
Though I don't know many words of praise
Thee pleasures me in a hundred ways
Put on your bonnet, your cape, and your glove
I wanna clap my hands
I wanna clap my hands
I wanna clap my hands
For my good fortune
I wanna clap my feet
I wanna clap my feet
I wanna clap my feet
For my good fortune
Each time I hold you
I'm really in a spin
You can see without your love
Just where I-Imighta been
I'm gonna give a shout
Stand right up and shout
I'm gonna give a shout
Clap my feet, clap my hands
For my good fortune
Each time I hold you
I'm really in a spin
You can see without your love
Just where I mighta been
I'm gonna give a shout
Stand right up and shout
I'm gonna give a shout
I'm gonna clap my feet
I'm gonna clap my hands
For my good fortune
Yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh my darling, oh my lover
If dreams came true, dear
I'd dream you everything
That you would always
Be happy as a king
If dreams came true, dear
No trouble would you see
Just song and laughter
To keep you company
Oh my darling
Oh my lover
In your heart
You would soon discover
Song and laughter
Ever after
From the dreaming I'd do
If dreams came true
If dreams came true, dear
I'd dream you paradise
A moonlit garden
And stars to match your eyes
But as for me, dear
My world is all agleam
For I have you, dear
And have no need to dream
Oh my darling
Oh my lover
In your arms
Is where I discover
More than moonlight
More than starlight
More than dreaming could do

CHORUS
Dear John (Dear John)
Oh, how I hate to write
Dear John (Dear John)
I must let you know tonight
That my love for you has gone
There's no reason to go on
For tonight I wed another, dear John
SPOKEN: I was overseas in battle when the postman came to me. And he handed
me a letter. Aww, I was happy as I could be. You see, the fighting was all over and
the battles, they'd all been won. Then I, I opened up the letter and it started "Dear
John."
CHORUS
(Dear John)
SPOKEN: Will you please send back my picture? You see, my husband wants it
now. When I tell you who I'm wedding you won't care, dear, anyhow. Now the
ceremony has started and I'll wed your brother Don. Please wish us happiness
forever, dear John.

You made me cry
When you said goodbye
Ain't that a shame
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame
You're the one to blame
You broke my heart
When you said we'll part
Ain't that a shame
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame
You're the one to blame
Farewell, goodbye
Although I'll cry
Ain't that a shame
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame
You're the one to blame
[Instrumental Interlude]
You made me cry

Farewell, goodbye
Although I'll cry
Ain't that a shame
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame
(Jingle jingle jingle jingle)
Jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
Oh jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go laughing all the way
(Bells on bobtail ring making spirits bright)
What fun it is to laugh and sing a sleighing song tonight
(Jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
Oh jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh)

Now the ground is white go it while you're young
Take the girls tonight and sing this sleighing song
(Just bet a bob tailed bay two forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack you'll take the lead)

Don't forbid me to hold you tight
A-darlin', don't-a forbid me to hold you tight
Let me hold you in my lovin' arms
'Cause it's cold and I can keep you warm
A-don't-a forbid me to kiss your lips
A-darlin' don't-a forbid me to kiss your lips
Let me kiss you
Please, baby, please
'Cause it's cold and your lips might freeze
Well, there's a strong West wind a-blowin'

And, pretty baby, I've been knowin'
You need some heart-warmin' love
So don't-a forbid me to talk sweet talk
A-Darlin' don't-a forbid me to talk sweet talk
Let-a me fill your little heart with fire

It's so cold (it's so cold)
So don't forbid-a my desire
One life I'm gonna live it up
I'm takin' flight I said I'll never get enough
Stand tall I'm young and kinda proud
I'm on top as long as the music's loud
If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool cause it's a case of do or die
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go you're mad
You've got another thing comin'
That's right here's where the talkin' ends
Well listen this night there'll be some action spent
Drive hard I'm callin' all the shots
I got an ace card comin' down on the rocks
If you think I'll sit around while you chip away my brain
Listen I ain't foolin' and you'd better think again
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go you're mad
You got another thing comin'
In this world we're livin' in we have our share of sorrow
Answer now is don't give in aim for a new tomorrow
Oh so hot no time to take a rest yeah
Act tough ain't room for second best
Real strong got me some security
Hey I'm a big smash I'm goin' for infinity yeah
If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool cause it's a case of do or die
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go you're mad
(Otis Williams and Henry Stone)
One heart's not enough, baby
Two hearts make you feel crazy
One kiss makes you feel so nice
Two kisses put you in paradise
Two hearts, two kisses make one love
Two hearts beat as one, dear
Two arms make me know that you care
I have plenty of lovin'
Two kisses hotter than an oven
Two hearts, two kisses make one love
Lovin' you, baby, is my desire
I know that you could set this world afire
A little spark is burnin' deep inside
Love should be made by two (hoop-de-doo-oo)
One heart's not enough, baby
Two hearts make you feel crazy
One kiss makes you feel so nice
Two kisses put you in paradise
Two hearts, two kisses make one love
[Instrumental Interlude]
Lovin' you, baby, is my desire

One kiss makes you feel so nice
Two kisses put you in paradise
Two hearts, two kisses make one love
There's a gold mine in the sky far away
We will find it, you and I some sweet day
There'll be clover just for you down the line
Where the skies are always blue, pal of mine
Take your time, ole mule
I know you're growing lame
But you'll pasture in the stars
When we strike that claim
And we'll set up there and watch
The world roll by
When we find that long lost gold mine
In the sky ,far away, far away we will find that
Long lost gold mine some sweet day
And we'll say hello to friends who said goodbye
When we find that long lost gold mine
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
The emblem of suffering and shame
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners were slain
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
It's shame and reproach gladly bear
Then he'll call me some day to my home far away
Where his glory forever I'll share
The First Noel, the Angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
This star drew nigh on to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right o'er the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
And by the light of that same star
Three Wise men came from country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
Then entered in those Wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made Heaven and earth of nought
And with his blood mankind has bought.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
And you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forest will echo with laughter
And it makes me wonder
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen
Yes there are two paths you can go by
but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
Your head is humming and it won't go in case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for
It was a moonlit night in old Mexico
I walked alone between some old adobe haciendas.
Suddenly, I heard the plaintive cry of a young Mexican girl
You better come home, Speedy Gonzales
Away from tannery row
Stop alla your a-drinkin'
With that floozie named Flo
Come on home to your adobe
And slap some mud on the wall
The roof is leakin' like a strainer
There's loadsa roaches in the hall
Speedy Gonzales
Why don'tcha come home?
Speedy Gonzales
How come ya leave me all alone?
Hey, Rosita-I hafta go shopping downtown for my mudder
She needs some tortillas and chili peppers
Your doggy's gonna have a puppy
And we're runnin' outta coke
No enchiladas in the icebox
And the television's broke
I saw some lipstick on your sweatshirt
I smelled some perfume in your ear
Well, if you're gonna keep on messin'
Don't bring your business back a-here
Speedy Gonzales
Why don'tcha come home?
Speedy Gonzales
How come ya leave me all alone?
Hey, Rosita-come quick, down at the canteena
We all came out to Montereax,
On the Lake Geneva shoreline.
To make records with a mobile,
We didn't have much time.
But Frank Zappa and the Mothers,
Were at the best place around,
But some stupid with a flare gun,
Burned the place to the ground.
Smoke on the water and fire in the sky.
Smoke on the water...
They burned down the gambling house,
It died with an awful sound.
(Uh) Funky Claude was running in and out,
Pulling kids out the ground.
When it all was over,
We had to find another place.
But Swiss time was running out,
It seemed that we would lose the race.
Smoke on the water and fire in the sky.
Smoke on the water...
We ended up at the Grand Hotel.
It was empty cold and bare.
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside,
Making our music there.
With a few red lights, a few old beds,
We made a place to sweat.
No matter what we get out of this,
I know I know we'll never forget.
Smoke on the water and fire in the sky.
You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out
Who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
O! You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock rock
Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock rock

We'll have some fun when the clock strikes one
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight

Gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight
When the chimes ring five, six, and seven
We'll be right in seventh heaven

Gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight

Start a'rockin' round the clock again
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight
We're gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight
(Remember, remember you're mine)
Be faithful, darlin'
While you're away
For when it's summer
A heart can stray
And though I'll miss you
Have a wonderful time
But remember, darlin'
Remember you're mine
(Remember you're mine)
If you go dancin'
And he holds you tight
(And he holds you tight)
And your lips are tempted
On a summer night
(On a summer night)
Your heart beats faster
When the stars start to shine
Just remember, darlin'
Remember you're mine
(Remember you're mine)
I'll be lonely
I'll be blue
But I promise
I'll be true
And though I'll miss you
Have a wonderful time
Just remember, darlin'
Remember you're mine
Dimmi quando tu verrai
Dimmi quando quando quando
L'anno, il giorno e l'ora in cui
Forse tu mi bacerai
Tell me when will you be mine
Tell me, quando, quando, quando
We can share a love divine
Please don´t make me wait again
Every moment´s a day
Every day seems a lifetime
Let me show you the way
To a joy beyond compare
I can´t wait a moment more
Tell me, quando, quando, quando
Say it´s me that you adore
And then, darling, tell me when
Every moment´s a day
Every day seems a lifetime
Let me show you the way
To a joy beyond compare
I can´t wait a moment more
Tell me, quando, quando, quando
Say it´s me that you adore
And then, darling, tell me when
Oh, my darling, tell me when
When I see my baby,
what do I see,
Poetry,
Poetry in Motion
Poetry in Motion, walking by my side, her lovely locomotion,
keeps my eyes open wide.
Poetry in Motion, see her gentle sway, a wave out on the
ocean, could never move that way.
I Love every Movement, and there's nothing I would change,
she doesn't need improvements, she's much too nice to
arrange.
Poetry In Motion, dancin' close to me, a flower of the devotion, a swaying gracefully...
Poetry in Motion, see her gentle sway, on a wave out on the
ocean, could never move that way.
I Love every Movement, and there's nothing I would change,
she doesn't need improvements, she's much too nice to
arrange.
Poetry In Motion, and all that I adore, no number 9 love potion could make me love her more.

CHORUS x2
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home (Oh, won't you please take me home)
Just an urchin livin' under the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case
So by me somethin' to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line
Rags to riches
Or so they say
You gotta
Keep pushin' for the fortune and fame
You know it's, it's all a gamble
When it's just a game
You treat it like a capitol crime
Everybody' doin' their time
CHORUS x2
Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here, I can't quite remember
The surgoen general say's it's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette
But I can't see
Tell me that you're gonna believe
CHORUS x2
So far away x4
Capitain America's been torn apart
Now he's a court jester
With a broken heart
He said turn me around
And take me back to the start
I must be losing my mind
"Are you blind?!"
I've seen it all a mllion times
CHORUS x4
I want to go
I want to know
Oh, won't you please take me home
I want to see
Oh, look at me
Oh, won't you please take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home (Oh, won't you please take me home)
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home
Take me down
Oh yeah
Beat me down
Oh, won't you please take me home
I want to see
Oh, look at me
Oh, won't you please take me home
I want to see
Boy, I'm gonna be mean
Oh, oh take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home
I want to go
I want to know
Oh, won't you please take me hooooooome
Jump back, whats that sound ?
Here she comes, full blast and top down.
Hot shoe, burnin down the avenue.
Model citizen zero discipline
Dont you know shes coming home with me?
Youl lose her in the turn.
Ill get her!
Panama, panama
Panama, panama
Aint nothin like it, her shiny machine.
Got the feel for the wheel, keep the moving parts clean.
Hot shoe, burnin down the avenue,
Got an on-ramp comin through my bedroom.
Dont you know shes coming home with me?
Youll lose her in the turn.
Ill get her!
Yeah, were runnin a little bit hot tonight.
I can barely see the road from the heat comin off of it.
Ah, you reach down, between my legs,
Ease the seat back.
Shes blinding, Im flying,
Right behind the rear-view mirror now.
Got the feeling, power steering,
Pistons popping, aint no stopping now!
Panama, panama
I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing
Till they got a hold of me
I opened doors for little old ladies
I helped the blind to see
I got no friends 'cause they read the papers
They can't be seen with me
And I'm gettin' real shot down
And I'm feelin' mean
No more Mister Nice Guy
No more Mister Clean
No more Mister Nice Guy
They say he's sick, he's obscene
I got no friends 'cause they read the papers
They can't be seen with me
And I'm feelin' real shot down
And I'm gettin' mean
No more Mister Nice Guy
No more Mister Clean
No more Mister Nice Guy
They say he's sick, he's obscene
My dog bit me on the leg today
My cat clawed my eye
Mom's been thrown out of the social circles
And dad has to hide
I went to church incognito
When everybody rose the Reverend Smithy
He recognized me and punched me in the nose
He said, no more Mister Nice Guy
No more Mister Clean
No more Mister Nice Guy
Nearer my God to Thee, nearer to Thee
E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me
Still all my song shall be, nearer my God to Thee
Nearer my God to Thee, nearer to Thee
There let the way appear, steps unto Hea'en
All that thou sendest me in mercy gi'en
Angels to beckon me, nearer my God to Thee
I'm Mr. Blue
When you say you love me
Then prove it by goin' out on the sly
Provin' your love isn't true
Call me Mr. Blue
I'm Mr. Blue
When you say you're sorry
Then turn around headin' for the lights of town
Hurtin' me through and through
Call me Mr. Blue
I stay at home at night
Right by the phone at night
But you won't call
And I won't hurt my pride
Call me mister....
I won't tell you
While you paint the town
A bright red to turn it upside down
I'm paintin' it too
But I'm paintin' it blue
Call me Mr. Blue
Call me Mr. Blue
Moody river more deadly
Than the vainest knife
Moody River your muddy water
Took my baby's life
Last saturday evening
Came to the old oak tree
It stands beside the river
Where you were to meet me
On the ground your glove I found
With a note addressed to me
It read dear love I've done you wrong
Now I must set you free
No longer can I live
with this hurt and this sin
I just couldn't tell you
that guy was just a friend
Moody River more deadly
Than the vainest knife
Moody River your muddy waters
Took my baby's life
I looked into the muddy water
And what could I see
I saw a lonely lonely face just
Lookin' back at me
Tears in his eyes
And a prayer on his lips
And the glove of his lost love
At his finger tips
Moody River more deadly
Than the vainest knife
Moody River your muddy water
Mona lisa, mona lisa, men have named you
Youre so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only cause youre lonely they have blamed you?
For that mona lisa strangeness in your smile?
Do you smile to tempt a lover, mona lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, mona lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?
Do you smile to tempt a lover, mona lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, mona lisa?

At the corner drugstore
Each Saturday we would meet (we would meet)
I'd walk you home in the moonlight
All of these things we'll repeat
So darling, as I write this letter
Here's hoping you're thinking of me
My mind's made up
So long until
I'll be home to start serving you
I'll be home, my darling
Please wait for me (wait for me)
I'd walk you home in the moonlight
Once more our love will be free
[Spoken:]
Darling, as I write this letter
Here's hoping you're thinking of me
My mind's made up
So long until
I'll be home to start serving you
I'll be home, my darling
Please wait for me (wait for me)
I'll walk you home in the moonlight
I love to tell the story of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love.
I love to tell the story, because I know 'tis true;
It satisfies my longings as nothing else can do.
I love to tell the story, 'twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love.
I love to tell the story; more wonderful it seems
Than all the golden fancies of all our golden dreams.
I love to tell the story, it did so much for me;
And that is just the reason I tell it now to thee.
I love to tell the story, 'twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love.
I love to tell the story; 'tis pleasant to repeat what seems,
Each time I tell it, more wonderfully sweet.
I love to tell the story, for some have never heard
The message of salvation from God's own holy Word.
I love to tell the story, 'twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love.
I love to tell the story, for those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest.
And when, in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song,
'Twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long.
I love to tell the story, 'twill be my theme in glory,
Holy Diver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh what's becoming of me
Ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
Oh don't you see what I mean
Gotta get away
Holy Diver
Shiny diamonds
Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue
Something is coming for you
Race for the morning
You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light
Oh we will pray it's all right
Gotta get away-get away
Between the velvet lies
There's a truth that's hard as steel
The vision never dies
Life's a never ending wheel
Holy Diver
You're the star of the masquerade
No need to look so afraid
Jump on the tiger
You can feel his heart but you know he's mean
[CHORUS]
He's got the whole world in His hands
He's got the whole wide world in His hands
He's got the whole world in His hands
He's got the whole world in His hands
He's got the little bitty baby in His hands
He's got the little bitty baby in His hands
He's got the little bitty baby in His hands
He's got the whole world in His hands
[repeat CHORUS]
He's got you and me brother in His hands
He's got you and me sister in His hands
He's got you and me brother in His hands
He's got the whole world in His hands
[repeat CHORUS]
He's got everybody here in His hands
He's got everybody here in His hands
He's got everybody here in His hands
He's got the whole world in His hands

He's got the whole world in His hands
He's got the whole wide world in His hands
He's got the whole world in His hands
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember, Christ, our Saviour
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
From God our Heavenly Father
A blessed Angel came;
And unto certain Shepherds
Brought tidings of the same:
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by Name.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
And when they came to Bethlehem
Where our dear Saviour lay,
They found Him in a manger,
Where oxen feed on hay;
His Mother Mary kneeling down,
Unto the Lord did pray.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
Now to the Lord sing praises,
All you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace;
This holy tide of Christmas
All other doth deface.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
Say your prayers little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone
Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land
Somethings wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of snow white
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragons fire
And of things that will bite
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the lord my soul to take
Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beast under your bed,
In your closet, in your head
Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Crazy, crazy train
Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people, living as foes
Maybe, it's not too late
To learn how to love, and forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
Crazy, crazy train
I've listened to preachers, I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts, who make their own rules
One person conditioned, to rule and control
The media sells it, and you live the role
Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me
You've gotta listen to my words, yeah
[Solo]
Heirs of a cold war, that's what we've become
Inheriting troubles, I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot care
I'm living with something, that just isn't fair
Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame
I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
Chains of love
Have tied my heart to you
Chains of love
Have made me feel so blue
Well, now I'm your prisoner
Tell me what you gonna do
Are ya gonna leave me
Are ya gonna make me cry
Are ya gonna leave me
Are ya gonna make me cry
These chains are gonna haunt me
Until the day I die
Well, if you're gonna leave me
Please, wontcha set me free
Well, if you're gonna leave me
Please, wontcha set me free
I can't bear these chains that bind me
Unless you're here with me
Well, it's three o'clock in the mornin'
The moon is shinin' bright
Yes, it's three o'clock in the mornin'
The moon is shinin' bright
I just sit and wonder
Blue Moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue Moon
You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper "Please adore me"
And when I looked the Moon had turned to gold
Blue Moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
I heard somebody whisper "Please adore me"
And when I looked the Moon had turned to gold
Blue Moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Oh, Bernardine
Oh, woh, woh, Bernardine
I can tell by the dimple in your chin
You're in beautiful shape for the shape you're in
An' I'm in shape for Bernardine
Oh, Bernardine
Oh, woh, woh, Bernardine
When you wander into my dreams at night
Your remarkable form is a pure delight
I go, go, go for Bernardine
Bernardine, woh Bernardine
You're a little bit like every girl I've ever seen
Oh, your separate parts are not unknown
But the way you assemble them's all your own
All yours and mine, dear Bernardine
(Yours and mine, dear Bernardine)
Oh, Bernardine
Oh, woh, woh, Bernardine
Say you'll wait for me out by the rocket base
And we'll both blast off into outer space
At oh, oh, woh woh, Bernardine
Bernardine, woh Bernardine
Come away with me now in the rocket propelled machine
We'll come home by the way of a drive-in spa
Just a little this side of Shangri-La
And there I'll stay with Bernardine
(There I'll stay with Bernardine)
Crazy little mama come knocking
Knocking at my front door, door, door
Crazy little mama come knocking
Knocking at my front door
Crazy little mama come knock, knock, knocking

Heard someone knocking and much to my surprise
There stood my baby looking in my eyes
Crazy little mama come knock, knock, knocking

April love is for the very young
Every star's a wishing star that shines for you
April love is all the seven wonders
One little kiss can tell you this is true
Sometimes an April day will suddenly bring showers
Rain to grow the flowers for her first bouquet
But April love can slip right through your fingers
So if she's the one, don't let her run away
Sometimes an April day will suddenly bring showers
Rain to grow the flowers for her first bouquet
But April love can slip right through your fingers
Anastasia, tell me who you are
Are you someone from another star?
Anastasia, are you what you seem?
Do your sad eyes remember a dream?
Why do you tremble
And why do you sigh?
Could you be lonely
As lonely as I?
Will you remember
When summer has flown
Another world, a world that is yours alone?
Anastasia, smile away the past
Anastasia, spring is here at last
Beautiful stranger, step down from your star
I only know I love you so, whoever you are
Anastasia... Anastasia...
Beautiful stranger, step down from your star

Last night we met
And I dream of you yet
With the wind and the rain in your hair
I held you tight
And you whispered "good night"
With the wind and the rain in your hair
Now it will be my favorite memory
That vision of you standing there
Oh, there in the mist
How you sighed when we kissed
With the wind and the rain in your hair
Now it will be my favorite memory
That vision of you standing there
Mm, there in the mist
How you sighed when we kissed
Because of you there's a song in my heart
Because of you my romance had its start
Because of you the sun will shine
The moon and stars will say you're mine
Forever and never to part
I only live for your love and your kiss
It's paradise to be near you like this
Because of you my life is now worthwhile
And I can smile because of you
[ strings ]
Because of you my life is now worthwhile
On a high and peaceful mountain
Or a crowded avenue
Anyplace is Heaven
Just as long as I'm with you
Stranded on a distant island
In a penthouse with a view
Anyplace is Heaven
Just as long as I'm with you
You make bright even brighter
Darling, with your smile
You make light even lighter
You make my life wortwhile
In a shabby little cabin
Or a castle white and new
Anyplace is Heaven
Just as long as I'm with you
In a shabby little cabin
Or a castle white and new
Anyplace is Heaven

Oh, Bernadine (sigh)
Oh, oh, oh, Bernadine
I can tell by the dimple on your chin
You're in beautiful shape for the shape you're in
An' I'm in shape for Bernadine
Oh, Bernadine
Oh, oh, oh, Bernadine
When you wander into my dreams at night
Your remarkable form is a pure delight

And there I'll stay with Bernadine
(there I'll stay with Bernadine)
I tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
A mem'ry from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart
[ piano ]
Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said that make the teardrops start
I'll walk alone because to tell you the truth I'll be lonely,
I don't mind being lonely when my hear tells me you are lonely too.
I'll walk alone, they'll ask me why and Ill tell them I'd rather.
There are dreams I must gather, dreams we fashioned the night you held me tight.
I'll always be near you wherever you are each night in every prayer.
If you call, I'll hear you, no matter how far.
Just close your eyes and I'll be there.
Please walk alone and send your love and your kisses to guide me
When the swallows
Come back to Capistrano
That's the day you promised
You'd come back to you
When you whisper
Farewell in Capistrano
Twas the day the
Swallows flew out to sea
All the mission bells will ring
The chapel choir will sing
The happiness you'll bring
Will live in my memory
When the swallows
Come back to Capistrano
That's the day I pray that
You'll come back to you
When the swallows
Come back to Capistrano
That's the day I pray that

One night farmer Brown was takin' the air
Locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care
Down in the henhouse something stirred
When he shouted who's there this is what he heard
There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So calm yourself and stop that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
We chickens tryin' to sleep and you bust in
And hobble-hobble hobble-hobble with your chin
There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
You're stompin' around and shakin' the ground
You're kickin' up an awful dust
We chickens tryin' to sleep and you bust in
And hobble-hobble hobble-hobble it's a sin
Tomorrow is a busy day
We got things to do we got eggs to lay
We got ground to dig and worms to scratch
It takes a lot of sittin' gettin' chicks to hatch
Oh there ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So quite yourself and stop that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
Kindly point that gun the other way
And hobble-hobble hobble-hobble hit the hay
And hobble-hobble hobble off and hit the hay
[ sax ]
Tomorrow is a busy day...
Each night we meet and talk about you
Reminisce about the things you used to do
We just sit around broken-hearted
'cause all of us are still in love with you
Oh, yes we're ten lonely guys with ten broken hearts
We thought your lies were true
Yes we're just ten lonely guys with tears in our eyes
Ten lonely guys who still love you
Eddie was the first one to hold you
Jerry was the first to taste your kiss
Then came Johnny, Stan, Richie, Neal, and Bobby, Jack, and Cliff
And I was the last one on your list
Oh, yes we're ten lonely guys with ten broken hearts
We thought your lies were true
Yes we're just ten lonely guys with tears in our eyes
Ten lonely guys who still love you
The footsteps at the door can mean just one thing
Someone else has been a fool for you
One more guy who wants to tell his story
One more guy who knows what we've been through
Oh, yes we're ten lonely guys with ten broken hearts
We thought your lies were true
Yes we're just ten lonely guys with tears in our eyes
I hear the cottonwoods whisperin' above
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love!
The ole hootie owl hootie-hoo's to the dove
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love!
Does my darling feel what I feel
When he comes near?
My heart beats so joyfully
You'd think that he could hear!
Wish I knew if he knew what I'm dreaming of!
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love!
Whippoorwill, whippoorwill, you and I know
Tammy! Tammy! Can't let him go!
The breeze from the bayou keeps murmuring low
Tammy! Tammy! You love him so!
When the night is warm, soft and warm
I long for his charms!
I'd sing like a violin
If I were in his arms
Wish I knew if he knew what I'm dreaming of!
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Pretending that I'm doing well
My need is such; I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell.
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
A drift in a world of my own
I play the game; but to my real shame
You've let me to dream all alone.
Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal.
Oh yes I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not; you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around.
Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
Yes I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips the summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
[ strings - trumpet ]
But I miss I miss you you most of all my darling
