If I go a million miles away
I write a letter each and every day
'Cause honey, nothin',
Nothin' can ever change this love
I have for you
Ooh, make me weep,
You can make me cry
See me comin'
And you can pass me by
I know that nothin',
nothin' can ever change this love
I have for you
Oh, you're the apple of my eye
You're cherrie pie
Oh you're cake and ice cream
You're sugar and spice
And everything nice
You're the boy of my, my, my dreams
If you wanted to leave me
And roam
When you get back
I'd just say
Welcome home,
I know that nothin',
Nothin' can ever change the love
I have for you
I know that nothin',
Nothin' can ever change the love
I have for you
Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me
Nobody but me
Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me
Now I don't mean to bother you
But I'm in distress
There's danger of me losing all of my happiness
For I love a guy who doesn't know I exist
And this you can fix
So, Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me
Nobody but me
Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me
Now, Cupid, if your arrow makes his love strong for me
I promise I will love him until eternity
I know between the two of us his heart we can steal
Help me if you will
So, Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me
Nobody but me
Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me
Ho Ha Ho Ha
I hear someon sayin'
Ho Ha Ho Ha
Ho Ha Ho Ha
Well don't you know
That's the sound of the men
Workin' on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
Workin' on the chain gang
All day long they're saying
Ho Ha Ho Ha
Ho Ha Ho Ha
Well don't you know
That's the sound of the men
Workin' on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
Workin' on the chain gang
All day long they work so hard
'Till the sun is going down, down
Workin' on the highways and byways and wearing
Wearing a frown
You hear them moaning
Their lives away
Then you hear somebody say
That's the sound of the men
Workin' on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
Workin' on the chain gang
They're saying...
I'm going home one of these days
I'm going home
See my woman whom I love so dear
Mean while
I have to work right here
Well don't you know
That's the sound of the men
Workin' on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
Workin' on the chain gang
All they long they're saying...
My, my, my work is so hard
Give me water
I'm thirsty
My work is so hard
We are having a party
Dancing to the music
Played by the D.J.
On the radio
The cokes are in the ice box
Popcorn's on the table
Me and my baby
We're out here on the floor
So mister, mister D.J.
Keep those records playing
'Cause we're having such a good time
Dancing with my baby
Havin' a party
Everybody's swinging, dancing to the music
On the radio
We are havin' a party
Everybody's swinging, dancing to the music
On the radio
So mister, mister D.J.
Keep those records playing
'Cause we're having such a good time
Dancing with my baby
Sally's doing that twist
If you take requests
I've got a few for you
Play that song called "Shot gun"
Play that one called "My girl"
Don't forget them
No other song will do
Listen while I talk to you
Tell you what we're gonna do
There's a new dance going around
And I tell you that we're putting you down
Just move your body all around
Shake, oh mama shake
Shake, I said that's the way to do it
Shake, come on you're looking good now
Shake it like a bowl of soup
Make your body loop de loop
Put your hands on your hip
You kinda let your back bone slip
Just move your body like a whip
And just shake, oh mama
Shake, I said that's the way to do it
Shake, come on now girls
Dingelingeling, honey shakin' is the latest thing
And if you wanna swing
Just loosen up your shoulders
And if you wanna really roll
You got to do the thing with soul
Shake it, shake it with all your might
And now if you do it, do it right
Just move your body loose tonight
And just shake, oh mama
Shake, come on honey
Shake, I said that's the way to do it
Loosen up your shoulders
And if you wanna really roll
You gotta do the thing with soul
Shake it, shake with all your might
And now if you do it, do it right
Just make your body loose tonight
And just shake, oh mama
Shake, I say that's the way to do it
Shake, come on now girls
Shake, come on now Florence
Shake, I say that's the way to do it
Shake, come on now Mary
Shake, come on now Supremes
And shake, I say that's the way to do it
Shake, come on now mama
Shake, I say that's the way to do it
Shake?
I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been running ever since
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it is
It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh yes it will
Then I go to my brother
I say brother help me please
But he winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees
There's been times that I thought
I wouldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
Oh my baby's comin home tomorrow
Ain't that good news
Yeah, ain't that news
My baby is coming home tomorrow
Ain't that news
Yeah, ain't that news
I got a letter just the other day
Telling me that he was on his way
And he wants me to meet him at the station
Ain't that good news
Yeah, ain't that news
In the letter he told me he still loved me
Ain't that good news
Yeah, ain't that news
In the letter he told me he loved me
Ain't that news
Yeah, ain't that news
He said he's sorry that he left
Found out he don't want nobody else
He said he wants me all to himself now
Ain't that good news
Yeah, ain't that news
Ain't that news
Ain't that good news
Ain't that news
Ain't that news
I said my baby's coming home tomorrow
Ain't that good news
Yeah, ain't that news
I'm gonna have him a party at the station
Ain't that good news
Yeah, ain't that news
Have a party at the station
Ain't that news
Yeah, ain't that news
And I can't wait to get him home
Where we can finally be alone
Disconnect my telephone now
Ain't that good news
Yeah, ain't that news
Ain't that news
Ain't that good news
I said my baby's coming home tomorrow
Ain't that good news
Yeah, ain't that news
