This ole house once knew his children
This ole house once knew a wife
This ole house was home and comfort
As we fought the storms of life
This old house once rang with laughter
This old house heard many shouts
Now she trembles in the darkness
When the lightnin' walks about

(Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer)
(Ain't a-gonna need this house no more)
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't a-got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no windowpane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
She's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints

This ole house is gettin' shaky
This ole house is gettin' old
This ole house lets in the rain
This ole house lets in the cold
On my knees I'm gettin' chilly
But I feel no fear nor pain
'Cause I see an angel peekin'
Through the broken windowpane

(Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer)
(Ain't a-gonna need this house no more)
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't a-got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no windowpane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
She's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints

This ole house is afraid of thunder
This ole house is afraid of storms
This ole house just groans and trembles
When the night wind flings out its arms
This ole house is gettin' feeble
This old house is needin' paint
Just like me it's tuckered out
But I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints

(Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer)
(Ain't a-gonna need this house no more)
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no windowpane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
She's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints

(Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer)
(Ain't a-gonna need this house no more)
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no windowpane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer

Everytime you have to whisper good-bye

Well
I cry just a little bit
cry just a little bit.
I know it's crazy and I don't know why

But I die just a little bit
die just a little bit.
I need to be the one that's by your side
you are the beat in my heart.
My love for you is something I can't hide

And I cry just a little bit
cry just a little bit

Cry just a little bit
cry just a little bit.
Every night before I'm fallin' asleep

Well
I pray just a little bit
pray just a little bit.
I pray nobody wants your loving to keep
And you stray just a little bit
stray just a little bit.
Don't let temptation fill your heart with dreams

Don't let your mind run away.

Forbidden love is never what it seems

And you cry just a little bit
cry just a little bit
cry just a little bit.
You're the light that brightens all of my days

Yes
the sun shines above you and I would die

If someone took you away
'cause I love you
love you.
Cry just a little bit
cry just a little bit.
I want forever to be you and I
thats's the way it should be.
I live for you and
baby
that is why I cry just a little bit

Cry just a little bit
cry just a little bit.
Every night we have to whisper good-bye

I cry just a little bit
cry just a little bit.
I know it's crazy and I don't know why

But I die just a little bit
die just a little bit.
Cry
cry
cry
cry just a little bit
cry just a little bit

Cry
cry
cry
cry just a little bit
cry just a little bit

Lipstick powder and paint, lipstick powder and paint
Lipstick powder and paint, is you is, or is you ain't
There goes my baby up a tree, a-giggling and a wiggling her toes at me
Let me put my glasses on, haven't had such fun since she's been gone

Lipstick powder and paint, lipstick powder and paint
Lipstick powder and paint, is you is, or is you ain't

Hound dog scratching fleas, looking like she's in love with me
Licks my hand everywhere I go, I wish my baby loved me so

Lipstick powder and paint, lipstick powder and paint
Lipstick powder and paint, is you is, or is you ain't

Taller than the barnyard, ten feet high, hide me till your man pass by
Don't you sneeze and don't you cough, if you get dusty, I'll brush you off

Lipstick powder and paint, lipstick powder and paint
Lipstick powder and paint, is you is, or is you ain't

What kind of love is that you make, the world starts trembling and the building
shakes
So love me, hug me once again, let the roof and the walls come tumbling in

Lipstick powder and paint, lipstick powder and paint
Lipstick powder and paint, is you is, or is you ain't

Lipstick powder and paint, lipstick powder and paint
Lipstick powder and paint, is you is, or is you ain't

Midnight, one more night without sleepin'
Watchin', till the morning comes creepin'
Green door, what's that secret you're keepin'?

There's an old piano and they play it hot behind the green door
Don't know what they're doin' but they laugh a lot behind the green door
Wish they'd let me in so I could find out what's behind the green door

Knocked once, tried to tell 'em I'd been there
Door slammed, hospitality's thin there
Wonder just what's goin' on in there

Saw an eyeball peepin' through a smokey cloud behind the green door
When I said Joe sent me someone laughed out loud behind the green door
All I want to do is join the happy crowd behind the green door

Midnight, one more night without sleepin'
Watchin', till the morning comes creepin'
Green door, what's that secret you're keepin'?

Saw an eyeball peepin' through a smokey cloud behind the green door
When I said Joe sent me someone laughed out loud behind the green door
AII I want to do is join the happy crowd behind the green door

If you should ever want to be set free
If you're not certain your future lies with me
I'll let you go girl until your heart is sure
It's a love worth waiting for.

Now I won't stop you from leaving 'cos I know
The way to keep you would be to let you go.
And I'm prepared to wait a thousand years or more
It's a love worth waiting for.

If you should leave me oh please remember

In my heart there's a fire a flame of desire for your charms.

I will keep you alive this glowing ember.
A love that will burn until you're back in my arms.

You know my darling
I need you here with me

But only to stay because it's where you ought to be.
'Cos I'm prepared to wait a thousand years or more

It's a love worth waiting for.
In my heart there's a fire a flame of desire for your charms.

A love that will burn until you're back in my arms.

You know my darling

I need you here with me
. . .

(Joe McCarthy/Howard Johnson/James Monaco)

What do you wanna make those eyes at me for
If they don't mean what they say
Ooh, they make me glad, they make me sad
They make me want a lot of things that I never had
You're fooling around with me now
Oh, you lead me on and then you run away

Oh, that's alright
I'll get you a lonesome night
And baby you'll find you're messing with dynamite
So what do you wanna make those eyes at me for
If they don't mean what they say

Honey

You know you called me on the phone and just because I was alone

Ah

You better ask somebody if you don't laiow what you're doing.
Now that you've kissed me and rocked my soul

Don't come around knockin' rock and roll

'cause that's a rockin' good way
that's a rockin' good way

That's a rockin' good way to mess around and fall in love.
You know you called me on the phone and just because I was alone

Marie Marie, playing guitar on the back porch
I sit in my car, while she sings so sad Marie Marie

Marie Marie, It's so lonely in these farmlands
Please come with me, to the bright lights downtown Marie Marie

I said: "hey, pretty girl, don't you understand
I just want to be your lovin' man"

Marie Marie, the sun is down in the cornfields,
The evening is dark, and you sing so sad Marie Marie

SOLO

Marie Marie, I got two weeks in back pay,
There's gas in my car, and your folks say I must go Marie Marie

Teardrops will fall because of you

As long as there's a moon above
There will be the two of us.

Tell me you love me and I'll be your only.

Don't run and hide

Stay by my side.

None of your friends come near you
They've given up trying to steer you
Because your turning away
Turning away from love

Lately you look so ragged
The edge of your hearts become jagged
And your turning away
Turning away from love

I say your turning away turning away from love
I say your turning away turning away from love
Well she gives it to you without asking
A piece of her heart ever lasting
But your turning away
Turning away from love

Just when this old world needs all of the love it can get
Your turning away
Turning away from the one who really cares
Your turning away from love

I say your turning away
Turning away from love
Turning away
Turning away from love
Well she gives it to you without asking
A piece of her heart ever lasting
But your turning away
Turning away from love

I say your turning away
Turning away from love
Turning away

You know baby when you‘re in my arms
I can feel your love and magic charms
You drive me craazy, you drive me craazy
And when I‘m looking in those big blue eyes
I started flowing down in paradise
You drive me craazy, you drive me craazy
Heaven must have send you down
Down for you to give me a thrill
Every time you touch me
Every time you hold me
My hearts starts beeting like a treat old ???
I love you baby and it‘s playing to see
I love you honey it was made to be
You drive me craazy, you drive me craazy

Heaven must have send you down
Down for you to give me a thrill
Every time you touch me
Every time you hold me
My hearts starts beeting like a treat old ???
I love you baby and it‘s playing to see
I love you honey it was made to be
You drive me craazy, you drive me craazy

And when I‘m looking in those big blue eyes
I started flowing down in paradise
You drive me craazy, you drive me craazy
Ooh craazy, you drive me craazy
Ooh craazy, you drive me craazy
Wow craazy, craazy, craazy...

I tore my letter up
I couldn't even start
To tell you what's really in my heart.
There's only so much that words can say
So I sent you a piece of this beautiful day.
Oh
I want you to know that I took a rainbow
And sent it off in a letter to you.
Took some flowers in the spring
made a sweet clover ring
And sent it off in a letter to you.
Took a song from the lark - the moon from the dark

A spark with the sparkling dew.
VVith a kiss and a hug and a whole lot of love
I sent 'em off in a letter to you.
I took the mornin' sun peekin' through the trees
And the dandelion silk tangled in the breeze
I folded 'em up - sealed 'em with a kiss

It's the kind of letter that you can't resist.
Oh
I want you to know that I took a rainbow . . .

In a day or two - just you wait and see

You're gonna get a special delivery.
You'll know the way I feel -
There can't be any doubt
When you open it up
And let the love spill out.

Oh
I want you to know
That I took a rainbow . . .
You know
I sent 'em off
In a letter to you.
You know
I sent 'em off
In a letter to you. .

Whoa, whoa Julie, if you love me truly,
do you want me, Julie, to be, be your very own?

Julie, love me only, Julie, don't be lonely,
'cause I want you only to be, to be my very own.

Ooh, Baby, don't leave me, honey, don't grieve me,
Julie, why leave me alone?
Stay with me, baby, lay with me maybe,
honey, don't leave me alone!

Julie, never leave me, please, don't decieve me!
Julie, oh, believe me and be, be my very own.

(Solo)

Whoa, whoa, Julie, if you love me truly...

Ooh, Baby, don't leave me, honey, don't grieve me...

Julie, never leave me, please don't decieve me...

Whoa, whoa Julie, if you love me truly...
To be, to be, to be, be your very own.
To be, to be, to be, to be your very own

If I got down on my knees and I pleaded with you
If I crossed a million oceans just to be with you
Would you ever let me down?

If I climbed the highest mountain just to hold you tight
If I said that I would love you every single night
Would you ever let me down?

Well I'm sorry if it sounds kinda sad, it's just that
Worried, so worried
that you let me down

Chorus: Because I love you, love you
Love you, so don't let me down

If I swam the longest river just to call your name
If I said the way I feel for you would never change
Would you ever fool around

Well I'm sorry if it sounds kinda bad, just that
Worried, cuz' I'm so worried
that you let me down

Chorus

Well I'm sorry if it sounds kinda bad, just that
Worried, cuz' I'm so worried
that you let me down

Chorus

Written by Owen/Dedmon

My baby works in a hot dog stand, makin' them hot dogs as fast as she can
Up steps a cat, now don't be slow, get me two hot dogs ready to go

Hot dog, she's my baby, hot dog, drives me crazy
Hot dog,don't mean maybe, you ought to see my baby in a hot dog stand

In the cool of the evening when the sun goes down, all the cats and the chicks
all gather round
They order hot dogs and red soda pop, then they head downtown to a hep cat hop

Hot dog, she's my baby, hot dog, drives me crazy
Hot dog,don't mean maybe, you ought to see my baby in a hot dog stand

I'm waiting for my baby every night at twelve, she closes up the top and then we
lose ourselves
At a hep cat hop any crazy way, we're doin' the bop till the break of day

Hot dog, she's my baby, hot dog, drives me crazy
Hot dog,don't mean maybe, you ought to see my baby in a hot dog stand

Now the cats here and how been hangin' around, trying to get my baby, trying to
put me down
She either don't hear, she either don't care, maybe it's the way that I brush my
hair

Hot dog, she's my baby, hot dog, drives me crazy

Ev'rything you say
ev'rything you do

Always seems to put me down - put me down.
Is there something wrong
do I still belong?
Is it just a run-around? Run-around?
Don't say he's not the reason why

'Cos when I lie awake
it's his name I hear you cry.

Thought he'd left your mind
And that only time stood between your fantasy - fantasy.
Guess I always knew he'd be haunting you

Stealing what you had from me - had for me.
I can't stand here and let it die.
Ev'ry step you take
I'll be there right by your side.

'Cos it's breaking up my heart
feel like dying

Breaking up my heart
feel like crying.
Tell him where to go
show the man the door

'Cos ev'rything you do is breaking up my heart.

I won't let you go
baby
never know

Can't you get it through your head? Through your head?
I won't set you free
you belong to me

What he had for you is dead - love is dead.
Love burns fire that never cools

Don't you know that love hurts people who break the rules?
'Cos it's breaking up my heart
feel like dying
. . .

I can't stand here and let it die.
Ev'ry step you take
I'll be there right by your side.
I won't let you go
oh
you never know
. . .
Breaking up my heart
feel like dying

Breaking up my heart
feel like crying.
Tell him where to go
show the man the door

'Cos ev'rything you do is breaking
breaking

Breaking up my heart
breaking up my heart

Tell him where to go
show the man the door

'Cos ev'rything you do is breaking
breaking

Breaking up my heart
feel like dying

Breaking up my heart
feel like crying

It's raining so hard, looks like it's goin' rain all night
And this is the time, I love to be holding you tight
But I guess I'll have to accept, the fact that you're not here
I wish the night would hurry up and end, my dear

It's rainin' so hard, It's really coming down
Sittin' by my window, watching the rain falls to the ground
This is the time, I love to be holding you tight
I guess I'll just go crazy tonight

It's raining so hard, it brings back memories, of the time
When you were here with me
Counting every drop, about the blow in my top
I wish the rain would hurry up and stop

I got the blues so bad, I can hardly catch my breath
The harder it rains, the worse it's gonna get
This is the time, I love to be holding you tight
I gues I'll just go crazy tonight

I got the blues so bad, I can hardly catch my breath
The harder it rains, the worse it's gonna get
This is the time, I love to be holding you tight

All right tonight's the night
Tonight I've made my mind up
It's time to get it right
Just like we did before
Tonight's the night all right
And though I know you ain't quite sure
You're getting all excited 'cause you don't know what's in store

So what you've got to do
Is keep our little secret
Do what I tell you to
And leave the rest to me
I'm guaranteeing you
When I get in this kind of mood
I've got a little something I can introduce to you

(A little boogie woogie) ah ha
(A little boogie woogie)
(A little boogie woogie) all right
'Cause when I'm inclined I usually find
A little boogie woogie in the back of my mind
'Cause when I'm inclined I know I can find
A little boogie woogie in the back of my mind

Hey today's the day I lay it on the line
The way to make you stay and keep me company
It's time to get my way 'cause night time is the right time
And when I'm feeling fine I like my action guaranteed

All right tonight's the night
I can't wait any longer
I'm turning out the light and locking up that door
You might put up a fight
But you'll be crying out for more
When you'll be getting what you really came here looking for

(A little boogie woogie) ah ha
(A little boogie woogie)
(A little boogie woogie) all right
'Cause when I'm inclined I usually find
A little boogie woogie in the back of my mind
'Cause when I'm inclined I know I can find
A little boogie woogie in the back of my mind

All right tonight's the night
I can't wait any longer
I'm turning out the light and locking up that door
You might put up a fight
But you'll be crying out for more
When you'll be getting what you really came here looking for

(A little boogie woogie) ah ha

A little boogie woogie in the back of my mind

A little boogie woogie in the back of my mind

'Cause when I'm inclined I usually find
A little boogie woogie in the back of my mind
'Cause when I'm inclined I know I can find
A little boogie woogie in the back of my mind
A little boogie woogie, woogie boogie woogie

Oh tonight - I'm walking the streets again

Runnin' away from all of my teasin' friends.
Oh tonight - the stars are in darkened skies

They don't hold all the love
I can see in your lonely eyes.
Cause I'm not waiting for a secret

I don't want to hear a lie.
Don't want the promise of tomorrow

Give me your heart tonight.
Too young - too young to start settling down

I'm getting too old
too old to keep running around
Oh
your love is something I don't wanna miss.
End up alone and livin' on a one night kiss.
Cause I'm not crying without reason

I'm not asking what is right.
Tust like the changin' of the season

Give me your heart tonight.
Cause I'm not waiting for a secret
. . .
Cause I'm not crying without reason
. . .
Cause I'm not crying without reason

Well, I got a girl whose as cute as can be
She never plays no attention to me
She lives her life in a world full of stereo
'Cos all she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
That's all

Well I take her to the movies and it's just the same
We just get cozy and it's on again
Listen on the headphones tuned into her favourite show, ooh ooh
'Cos all she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
All day long

I whisper sweet nothings inside her ear
But when I get close all I ever hear
Some cool DJ telling me it's gonna show, ooh ooh
Doesn't seem to be a way of getting inside her head
She talks to me when it's only if the battery's dead
But then she keeps a spare and it's back to rock and roll, oh yeah
'Cos all she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
That's all she ever wanna do

I got a girl whose as cute as can be
She never pays no attention to me
She lives her life in a world full of stereo, ooh ooh
She's a hopeless case and I don't know what I can do
I rack my brains while she sings out of tune
Well she's switching me off and one of these days I'm gonne go, yeah
'Cos all she ever wanna do is listen to the radio

All she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
Yeah, all she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
All she ever wanna do is listen to the radio

It's late

Too bad

Can't phone

It's late
we're 'bout to run out of gas

It's late
we gotta get home fast.
Can't speed
we're in a slow down zone

Baby
look at that clock
why can't it be wrqng?
If we could have left home at a quarter to mne

We would have had fun and plenty of time

But we got started just a little bit late

I hope this won't be our last date.
Look up
is that the moon we see

Can't be
looks like that sun to me

It's late
I hate to face your dad

Too bad
I know he's gonna be mad

It's late
we gotta get on home

It's late

Written by Bob Heatlie

Snow is fallin, all around me
Children playing, having fun
It's the season, love and understanding
Merry christmas everyone

Time for party's, celebrations
People dancing, all night long
Time for presents, and exchanging kisses
Time for singing, christmas songs

We're gonna have a party tonight
I'm gonna find that girl
Underneath the mistletoe, we'll kissed by candle light

Room is swaying, records playing
All the old songs, we love to hear
All I wish that everyday was christmas
What a nice way to spend the year

We're gonna have a party tonight
I'm gonna find that girl
Underneath the mistletoe, we'll kissed by candle light

Snow is fallin, all around me
Children playing, having fun
It's the season, love and understanding
Merry christmas everyone
Merry christmas everyone
Oah merry cristmas everyone

Snow is fallin, all around me
Children playing, having fun
It's the season, love and understanding
Merry christmas everyone

Snow is fallin, all around me
Children playing, having fun
It's the season, love and understanding
Merry christmas everyone

Snow is fallin, all around me
Children playing, having fun
It's the season, love and understanding
Merry christmas everyone
Merry christmas everyone
