A Place In The Sun
Like a long lonely stream
I keep runnin' towards a dream
Movin' on, movin' on
Like a branch on a tree
I keep reachin' to be free
Movin' on, movin' on
'Cause there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for
ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Got to find me a place in the sun
Like an old dusty road
I get weary from the load
Movin'
on, movin' on
Like this tired troubled earth
I've been rollin' since my
birth
Movin' on, movin' on
There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Got to find me a place in the sun
You know when times are bad
And you're feeling sad
I
want you to always remember
Yes, there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for
ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for
ev'ryone...
A Taste Of Honey
Winds may blow over icy sea
I'll take with me the warmth of
thee
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter, sweeter than wine.
I will return, I'll return
Oh, I'll come back for the honey
and you
Now baby, hey.
I'll leave behind my heart to wear
And may it ever remind
you of
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wine.
I will return, I'll return
I'll come back for the honey and
you.
He never came back to his love so fair
And so she died
dreaming of his kiss
His kiss was honey
A taste much bitter than wine
Oh, baby, baby, baby.
I'll return (come on back)
I'm coming back (come on back)
I'll be back now baby (come on back)
I'll be back, oooh I'll come back for
the honey
And you, baby (honey!)
You, baby (honey!), you, baby
I'm
coming back now baby (come on back).
All I Know About You
Baby, I know all about you
I heard long ago about you
They say you're mighty fast
You've got a wicked past
Ooo, all I know about
you.
You'll never get my heart
Won't be upsetting my heart
I'll never treat you, won't
I'm just too well in bond
Ooo, all I know
about you.
And if you think that you
can steal my heart a word
Why
don't you try, I dare you to try
If you play you're gonna lose the game
'Cause I will never take my guard away
Come on and try
Though I'm nice
I'll be cold as ice
Cause I know all about you.
Baby, I know all about you
There's nothing slow about you
Kiss me and then you'll see
Wonder within of me
Ooo, all I know about you.
Baby, I'm mad about you
I'm so glad about you
One little
kiss and wow
I'm a believer now
Ooo, all I know about you, babe.
I'm so wild about you
I feel like a child about you
It
felt like this before
I wanna kiss ya more
Ooo, all I know about you,
babe.
I know all about you
And I like what I know about you
One little kiss and wow
I'm a believer now
Ooo, all I know about you.
Baby Doll
Oh, baby doll, baby doll
He's my baby doll
He's good to
me
So true to me
He's all right for me
You know I'm gonna love him forever
And give my life to him
completely
I belong to my baby doll
He's my baby doll
He's so sweet
So handsome all the girls they envy me
Talking about my baby doll
When they see me holding his arm
Walking down
the street
You should see me hold my head up high
It's a feeling I
can't explain
Just proud to be walking with my baby doll
He's sugar to my taste
He's got sweet kisses
And a warm
embrace
He's my baby doll, ooh baby doll
Please say he'll always be mine
From this day please tell
me you'll love me
'Till the end of time
You know I'm gonna love him forever
And give my life to him
completely
I belong to my baby doll
He's my baby doll, yeah
He's so right for me, yeah
The
girls, they envy me, yeah
Ooh, baby doll
Bewitched
I'm wild again, beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering
child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
I couldn't sleep, and wouldn't sleep
When love came and
told me I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Lost my heart, but what of it?
He is cold, I agree
He
can laugh, but what of it?
Although the laugh's on me
I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And long for the days
when I'll cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Bewitched,
bothered and bewildered am I

Can I Get A Witness
Listen everybody, especially you guys
Is it right to be
left alone
While the one you love is never home?
I love too hard, my
friends sometimes say
But I believe, I believe
A man should loved that way
But it hurts me so inside
To see him treat me so unkind
Somebody,
somewhere tell him it's unfair
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a
witness?
Somebody
I want a witness
Is it right to be treated so bad
When you've given
everything you had?
Even tossin' in my sleep
'Cause I haven't seen my baby
all week
Now, you girls do agree
That this ain't the way love's supposed
to be
Let me hear, let me hear you say yeah, yeah
Up early in the morning with him on my mind
Just to find
out all night that I've been cryin'
But I believe a man's a woman's best
friend
So I'm gonna stick by him till the very end
But he causes so much
misery I forget how
Love is supposed to be
Somebody, somewhere, tell him
it ain't fair
Can I get a witness?
I want a witness
Everybody knows, especially you girls
Love can be bad
But I have a love that's twice as bad
Now you girls do agree
That this
ain't the way love's supposed to be
Let me hear, let me hear you say yeah,
yeah
Can I get a witness
Buttered Popcorn
My baby likes buttered popcorn
He likes it greasy
And
sticky
And gooey
And salty
I said what do you like
He says you know
what I like
I like buttered popcorn
He took me to a show
He said he wanted some more
I said
kiss me please
He said after I eat
I said what do you like
He says you know what I like
I
like buttered popcorn
For breakfast, lunch and a dinner too
He eats buttered
popcorn
Well it worries me so
I don't know what to do
When I asked him
what was happenin' in the world today
He said more butter, more butter, more
butter, more
My baby likes buttered popcorn
He likes it greasy
And
sticky
And gooey
And salty
I said what do you like
He says you know
what I like
I like buttered popcorn
For breakfast, lunch and a dinner too
He eats buttered
popcorn
Well it worries me so
I don't know what to do
When I asked him
What was happenin' in the world today
He said more butter, more butter,
more butter, more
My baby likes buttered popcorn

And gooey
And salty

Cornet Man
Wah-wah-wah?
Is that all you can say?
The lady ain't been born
Can take the place of a horn
With the cornet man
A goin’ where there’s blowin’
Trav’lin’ cornet man.
Just anytime they call him
He leaves his wife and kiddies
Sittin’ with their tongues out
To play for peanuts in some dive
And
blow his lungs out.
He'll hop a choo-choo
On a moment’s notice
To play some
dates
With Billy Bates or Ragtime Otis.
The lady ain't see the light
Can give a home a fair fight
With a cornet man
A rootin’, shootin’
Ever-tootin’ Dapper Dan
Who
carries in his satchel
A powder-blue Norfolk suit
A silver plated wah-wah
mute.
There is drinkin’ and gamblin’, each one a curse
But I'm up
against a devil that's worse
Yeah, a horn’s my thorn
He's a trav’lin’
cornet man.
(He's gotta go out on the road
He's got some dates with
Billy Bates
He gave his notice to Ragtime Otis
He's gotta go, back on the
road.)
The lady ain't see the light
Can give a horn a fair fight
With that cornet man
A rootin’, shootin’
Ever-tootin’ Dapper Dan
Who
carries in his satchel
A powder-blue Norfolk suit
Silver plated wah-wah
mute.
There is drinkin’, gamblin’, each one a curse
But I'm up
against a devil that's worse
Yeah, a horn’s my thorn
He's a trav’lin’
cornet man.
Say it again!
A powder-blue Norfolk suit
Silver plated wah-wah mute
Shy on height, he's short on weight
But he's the only guy
Can make my
coffee percolate
Dapper Dan, my cornet player man.
Back In My Arms Again
All day long I hear my telephone ring
Friends calling
giving their advice
From the boy I love
I should break away
'Cause
heartaches he'll bring one day
I lost him once through friends advice
But it's not gonna
happen twice
'Cause all advice ever's gotten me
Was many long and
sleepless nights
Ooh! But now
He's back in my arms again
Right by my side
I got him back in my arms again
So satisfied
It's easy for friends to say
Let him go
But I'm the one
Who needs him so
It's his love that makes me strong
Without him I can't go
on
This time I'll live my life at ease
Being happy lovin' whom I please
And each time we make romance
I'll be thankfull for a second chance
Ooh! Cause
He's back in my arms again
Right by my side
I got him back in my arms again
So satisfied
How can Mary tell me what to do
When she lost her love so
true?
And Flo, she don't know
'Cause the boy she loves is a Romeo
I
listened once to my friends advice
But it's not gonna happen twice
'Cause
all advice ever's gotten me
Was many long and sleepless nights
Ooh! I got him
Back in my arms again
Right by my side
I got him back in my arms again
So satisfied
Ooh! I'm satisfied yeah
So satisfied
Touch
Darling, just relax
You melt me like hot candle wax
One
touch and my whole body melts
Yet you say, you say you can't express yourself
Ohhhhhhhh
Just keep doin' what you're doin'
Fancy words
would only ruin it
Touch, that very special touch
If I satisfy you, ooh,
baby
How you satisfy me
(Oh, baby!)
Don't worry, don't worry about cries
These
are tears of love in my eyes
I feel this love flowin' through
Like a
river, boy, straight through me to you
Oh, your touch says more than words
In any language ever
heard (oh, baby)
Touch, oh, honey (that very special touch)
I need your
touch
Every brand new day (every day)
I wake up wanting you the same way
Hey hey hey!
(Ooh!) (Oh, baby!)
(Touch)
Your touch says more than words (oh!)
In any
language ever heard
Keep on doin' what you're doin' (ooh!)
Fancy words
would only ruin it
Touch (ooh!), groove me with your touch, hey!
Touch, you
move me with your touch
(Touch, talk to me, talk to me, touch)
Groove me, groove
me, groove me, groove me,
Groove me, groove me, groove me,
Groove me with
your touch
Touch me, touch me, your touch express so much
(Somebody touch)
Just keep doin' what you're doin'
Fancy
words would only ruin it
(Touch me, touch me, touch)
Stop! In The Name Of Love
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Baby, baby
I'm aware of where you go
Each time you leave
my door
I watch you walk down the street
Knowing your other love you'll
meet
But this time before you run to her
Leaving me alone and hurt
(Think it over) After I've been good to you ?
(Think it over) After I've been
sweet to you ?
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think
it over
I've known of your
Your secluded nights
I've even seen
her
Maybe once or twice
But is her sweet expression
Worth more than my
love and affection ?
But this time before you leave my arms
And rush off
to her charms
(Think it over) Haven't I been good to you ?
(Think it over)
Haven't I been sweet to you ?
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think
it over
I've tried so hard, hard to be patient
Hoping you'd stop
this infatuation
But each time you are together
I'm so afraid I'll be
losing you forever
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of
love
Before you break my heart
Baby, think it over
Think it over, baby
Ooh, think it
over baby...
Sweet Thing
Sweet thing, you make my heart sing
You turn darkness into
light
You make everything alright
Sweet thing, you make the bells ring
Ding dong, and sweet and true
Attaching me to you.
(Sweeter than the taste of sugar cane)
No sugar cane could
be
As sweet as you are to me
(Sweeter than whatever you can name)
Like
candy, cake or honey
Wouldn' give you up for love or money.
Sweet thing, you are my everything
You're all I need and
more
Than my heart a-bargained for
Sweet thing, you are what's happening
You're just a bundle of love
Happiness and love.
Sweeter than the taste of honey dew
A honey-dew male is
sweet, it's true
But it just ain't quite as sweet as you
Sweeping is the
way to measure you
I look at the scale and it's a shame
I have more
sweetness inch to inch
I have more sweetness pound to pound
Than any other
sweet thing I have found.
Sweet thing, sweet, sweet thing
Sweet thing, sweet, sweet
thing.
Sweeter than the taste of honey dew
A honey-dew male is
sweet, it's true
But it just ain't quite as sweet as you
Sweeping is the
way to measure you
I look at the scale and it's a shame
I have more
sweetness inch to inch
I have more sweetness pound to pound
Than any other
sweet thing I have found.
Sweet thing, you are what's happening
You're just a bundle
of love
Happiness and love
Say it, sweet thing, you are my everything
You're all I need and more
Than my heart a-bargained for
Sweet thing, you
make my heart sing
You turn darkness into light
You make everything
alright
Sweet thing, you make the bells ring
Ding dong, and sweet and true
Attaching me to you.
The Blue Room
We'll have a blue room
A new room, for two room
Where
every day's a holiday
Because you're married to me
Not like a ballroom
A small room, a hall room
Where you
can smoke your pipe away
With my wee head upon your knee
We will thrive on, keep alive on
Just nothing but kisses
With Mister and Misses
On little blue chairs
I'll wear my trouseau
And Robinson Crusoe
Is not so far
from worldly cares
As our blue room far away upstairs
We will thrive on, keep alive on
Just nothing but kisses
With Mister and Misses
On little blue chairs
I'll wear my trouseau
And Robinson Crusoe
Is not so far
from worldly cares
As our blue room far away upstairs
This Can't Be Love
This can't be love
Because I feel so well
No sobs, no
sorrows, no sighs
This can't be love
I get no dizzy spells
My head is not
in the skies
My heart does not stand still
Just hear it beat
This is
too sweet to be love
This can't be love
Because I feel so well
I love to look
in your eyes
I love to look in your eyes
This can't be love
Because I feel so well
No sobs, no
sorrows, no sighs
This can't be love
I get no dizzy spells
My head is not
in the skies
My heart does not stand still
Just hear it beat
This is
too sweet to be love
This can't be love
Because I feel so well
I love to look
in your eyes
I love to look in your eyes
