Hey baby, jump over here and you do the ooby dooby

You do the ooby dooby 'till you think her heart'll break

Ooby dooby, ooby dooby, ooby dooby, ooby dooby

Ooby dooby, ooby dooby, ooby dooby, ooby dooby
Ooby dooby dooby dooby dooby dooby do wah do wah do wah

Well, you can't be my lovin' baby
You ain't got the style
I'm gonna get some real gone love
That'll drive a cool cat wild

We gotta move, roll and run on down
Gonna get me a gal, then I go out on the town

Well, I'll move on down the line
I'm gonna get me a gal, that make some time
She can't be square, she can't be slow
And when she starts struttin', gotta go, go, go

Well, I'm gonna show you ain't so hot
I'm gonna get what you ain't got
She'll be sweet, won't do me wrong
She'll be cool and twice as gone

We're gonna roll, move and run on down
I'm gonna get me a gal, make some time

Well, I wanna move on down the line
I'm gonna get me a gal, that make some time
She can't be square, she can't be slow
'Cause when she starts struttin', gotta go, go, go

Well, I wanna move on down the line
I'm gonna get me a gal, that make some time
She can't be square, she can't be slow
'Cause when she starts struttin', gotta go, go, go

Blue light, big crowd
Jukebox plays loud
No fear, no care
Everybody's rockin' everywhere
Rock house, rock house, rock house
We're goin' to the rock house
Well rock it in the mornin'
Rock it in daylight
Rockin' through the evening
And I won't be home at night
Rock house, we're goin' to the rock house
Rock-a-rock house

Heartache, you lose
No trouble, no booze
Come one, come all
Well rock it up and have a ball
Rock house, rock house, rock house
We're goin' to the rock house

(Uptown, uptown)
Uptown (uptown) in penhouse number three
(Uptown, uptown)
Uptown (doo-doo-wop) there lives a doll just made for me
(Doo-doo-wop, doo-doo-wop)
She's the finest thing that you've ever seen, oh, ho, ha
(Oh, ho, ha, oh, ho, ha)

Uptown, I see her most every day
Uptown, but she never, ever looks my way
I'm just a bellhop, you see I can't stop
And tell her what I wanna say

That one of these days, I'm gonna have money
She'll wanna be my ever-loving, honey
It won't be long, just'a wait and see
I'll have a big car, fine clothes and then I'll be
Uptown, in penthouse number three
Uptown, just my baby and me

(Doo-doo-wop, doo-doo-doo-wop)
Yeah, one of these days, I'm gonna have money
She'll wanna be my ever-lovin' honey
It won't be long, just wait and see
I'll have a big car, fine clothes and then I'll be

Uptown (uptown) in penhouse number three
Uptown (uptown) just my baby and me
(Uptown, uptown)
(Uptown, uptown)
(Uptown, uptown)

Dum dum dum, dummy doo wah
Ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah
Oh oh oh, oh oh ah
Only the lonely, only the lonely

Only the lonely
(Dum dum dum, dummy doo wah)
Know the way I feel tonight
(Ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah)
Only the lonely
(Dum dum dum, dummy doo wah)
Know this feeling ain?t right
(Dum dum dum, dummy doo wah)

There goes my baby, there goes my heart
They?re gone forever, so far apart
But only the lonely know why I cry
Only the lonely

Dum dum dum, dummy doo wah
Ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah
Oh oh oh, oh oh ah
Only the lonely, only the lonely

Only the lonely
(Dum dum dum, dummy doo wah)
Know the heartaches I?ve been through
(Ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah)
Only the lonely
(Dum dum dum, dummy doo wah)
Know I cry and cry for you
(Dum dum dum, dummy doo wah)

Maybe tomorrow, a new romance
No more sorrow but that?s the chance
You?ve got to take, if your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely
(Dum dum dum, dummy doo wah)

Oh, Blue Angel, don't you cry
Just because he said goodbye
Oh, uh, uh, aah, no, don't cry

Oh, Blue Angel, have no fear
I'll brush away lonely teardrop
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Whoo, whoo, ooooooo

Well love's precious flame
Just burned in vain
But you're not to blame
He thought love was a game
It's'a, oh, such a shame
But don't you cry, don't sigh
I'll tell you why
I'll never say goodbye
Blue Angel

(Sha, laa, laaa, dooby-waaah)
(Bum, bum, bum, yip, yip, vum)

I'll love you til the end of time

Don't you worry your pretty head
I'll never let you down
I'll always be around
Blue Angel

Blue Angel
(Sha, laaa, laaaa)

Felt this way yesterday
Today I keep hurtin', yeah hurtin'
Time goes by, right on by, and I
I'm still hurtin', yeah hurtin'

You walked away, the pain began
I knew I'd never love again
Oh my heart tore apart
And I'm sure hurtin', yeah hurtin'

You walked away, the pain begain
I knew I'd never love again
Seems to me my destiny
Is to be just hurtin', yeah hurtin

Zuhm-ma zhum-ma-zhum-ma

Oh, beautiful Lana, I told it my mama
And my dad, what I had
Was the sweetest and the neatest
Little girl in the world

Oh, La-La-Lana
La-La-Lana
Hey, hey, Lana
He-he-hey

Ohh, Lana, don't make me blue
Ohh, Lana, don't you know
Don't you know, I love you

Ling-a ling-a-ling-a
Ling-a ling-a-ling-a
Ling-a ling-a-ling-a
Ling-a ling-a-ling-a
Ling-a ling-a-ling-a
Ling-a ling-a-ling-a
Ma-ma-ma-ma ma-ma-ma-ma-ma

Oh, La-La-Lana
La-La-Lana
Oh, La-La-Lana

Hey, hey, Lana
He-he-hey

Love hurts, love scars
Love wounds, and mars any heart
Not tough nor 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, love hurts

I'm 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 stove, it burns you when it's hot
Love hurts, love hurts

Some fools rave of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
But they're not fooling me

I know it isn't true, know it isn't true
Love is just a lie, made to make you blue
Love hurts, love hurts
Love hurts

I was alright for a while
I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night, you held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say, "Hello"
Oh, you wished me well, you couldn't tell

That I'd been crying over you
Crying over you
Then you said, "So long"
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying
Crying
Crying
Crying
It's hard to understand
But the touch of your hand
Can start me crying

I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more than I did before
But darling, what can I do?
For you don't love me
And I'll always be

Crying over you
Crying over you
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying
Crying
Crying
Crying
Yeah, crying
Crying
Over you

Come on baby, let me take you by the hand
Come on sugar, let me take you by the hand
Go for me, let me be
All your own candy, your candy, candy man

Come on baby, I love your honey, lovin' ways
Baby, sweet thing, I love your honey, lovin', your honey, lovin' ways
Come to me, let me be
All your own candy, your candy, candy man

Come on woman, gonna treat you right
Give you candy kisses every single night
Candy man, go for me, let me be
All your own candy, your candy, candy man

Hey, candy, candy, candy
I've got a sweet, sweet juice for you
Yeah, candy, candy, candy
I've got a sweet, sweet juice for you

(Cindy Walker)

Dream baby
Got me dreamin' sweet dreams
The whole day through
Dream baby
Got me dreamin' sweet dreams
Night time too
I love you and I'm dreamin' of you
That won't do
Dream baby, make me stop my dreamin'
You can make my dreams come true
Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
How long must I dream

Dream baby
Got me dreamin' sweet dreams
The whole day through
Dream baby
Got me dreamin' sweet dreams
Night time too
I love you and I'm dreamin' of you
That won't do
Dream baby, make me stop my dreamin'
You can make my dreams come true
Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
How long must I dream

I go out with the crowd
I play the game
Pretending out loud
But it don't seem the same
For the heart of the crowd
Is gone from sight
My part of the crowd
Is not with me tonight

I remember the fun, ev'ry dance with you
All the crazy things that we used to do
Sometimes we'd wait for a chance
And then we'd steal away
From the crowd and the dance
To our hide away

Oh, but you're gone and it's not the same old gang
I fall apart each time I hear your name
Guess I'll go along with the crowd
I'll make believe
That you'll come back to me
Run back to me, hurry back
To the crowd and me

Hey, Leah, Leah
Hey, Leah, Leah

Here I go
From the hut to the boat to the sea for Leah
Uh huh! I gotta go diving in the bay
Gotta get a lot of oysters find some pearls today
To make a pretty necklace for Leah, Leah

I gotta go deep and find the ones just right
I'll bet my Leah will be surprised tonight
I'll place the pearls around the only girl for me
Leah

But some thing's wrong I cannot move around
My leg is caught it's pulling me down
But I'll keep my hands shut tight for if they find me
They'll find the pearl for Leah

And now it's over, I'm awake at last
Oh, heartaches and memories from the past
It was just another dream about my lost love
About Leah

Hey, Leah, Leah
Hey, Leah, Leah

Here I go
Back to sleep and in my dreams
I'll be with Leah, Leah, Leah

I'm falling, I'm falling
Falling in love with you

Baby, come closer, closer to me
And listen, listen so carefully
Remember all the nights that I told you I loved you
It wasn't true, I used you
And you were just someone new

To thrill this lonely heart of mine
I was lying all the time
Pretending to be falling in love with you

But it's different now, I've kissed you now
So forgive me, forgive me somehow

Hold me tight for tonight, then tell me true
If you still love me, say that you love me
Don't leave me now
Now that I'm falling for you

I'm falling, I'm falling
Falling in love
Falling in love with you

Hey now, you better listen to me every one of you
We got a lot of lot of lot of lot of work to do
Forget about your women and that water can
Today you're working for the man

Well pick up your feet, we got a deadline to meet
I'm gonna see you make it on time
And don't relax, I want elbows and backs
I wanna see everybody from behind

'Cause you're working for the man
Working for the man
Gotta make him a hand
When you're working for the man

Well, I'm pickin' em' up and I'm layin' 'em down
Believe he's gonna work me into the ground
I pulled to the left and I heaved to the right
I outta kill him but it wouldn't be right

'Cause I'm working for the man
Working for the man
Gotta make him a hand
When you're working for the man

Well, the boss man's daughter sneaks me water
Every time her daddy's down the line
She says "Meet me tonight, love me right
And every thing's gonna be fine"

So I slave all day, without much pay
I'm just abiding my time
'Cause the company and the daughter, you see
They both gonna be all mine

Yeah, I'm gonna be the man
Gonna be the man
Gotta make him a hand
If it gonna be the man

Working for the man
Working for the man
Gotta make him a hand
When you're working for the man

Working for the man
Working for the man
Gotta make him a hand
When you're working for the man

Hmm, well I got a woman mean as she can be

Well I got a woman mean as she can be

Some-a-times I think she's almost mean as me



She gotta ruby lips, she got shapely hips, yeah

Boy she makes ole Roy-oy flip

I got a woman mean as she can be

Some-a-times I think she's almost mean as me



Well I ain't braggin', it's understood

Everything I do, well I sure do it good

Yeah I got a woman mean as she can be

Some-a-times I think she's almost mean as me

Well!



She gotta ruby lips, she got shapely hips, yeah



Boy she makes ole Roy-oy flip

I got a woman mean as she can be

Some-a-times I think she's almost mean as me, easy now



Ah-huh-huh-huh ....



Now let's go one time



Well I got a woman (sha la la la)

Yeah I got a woman (sha la la la)

Yeah I got a woman (sha la la la)

Well I got a woman (sha la la la)

Some-a-times I think she's almost mean as me

I feel so bad, I've got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind on blue bayou

Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
Workin' 'til the sun don't shine
Lookin' forward to happier times on blue bayou

I'm goin' back some day, come what may, to blue bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on blue bayou
All those fishin' boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes how happy I'd be

Oh, to see my baby again
And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy then on blue bayou

I'm goin' back some day, gonna stay on blue bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on blue bayou
Ah, that girl of mine by my side
The silver moon and the evening tide
Ah, some sweet day gonna take away this hurtin' inside

I'll never be blue, my dreams come true on blue bayou

The pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write "I love you"
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Crowded street, busy feet hustle by him
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
Hoping that you won't pass him by

Should you stop, better not, much too busy
You're in a hurry, my how time does fly
In the distance the ringing of laughter
And in the midst of the laughter he cries

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write "I love you"
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Your baby doesn't love you any more

Golden days before they end
Whisper secrets to the wind
Your baby won't be near you anymore

Tender nights before they fly
Send falling stars that seem to cry
Your baby doesn't want you any more
It's over

It breaks your heart in two
To know she's been untrue
But, oh, what will you do?
When she says to you
There's someone new
We're through, we're through

It's over, it's over, it's over

All the rainbows in the sky
Start to weep, then say goodbye
You won't be seeing rainbows anymore
Setting suns before they fall
Echo to you that's all that's all
But you'll see lonely sunsets after all

It's over, it's over, it's over
It's over

Pretty woman walkin' down the street
Pretty woman, the kind I'd like to meet
Pretty woman, I don't believe you, you're not the truth
No one could look as good as you
Mercy

Pretty woman, won't you pardon me?
Pretty woman, I couldn't help but see
Pretty woman, that you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me?

Grrrow

Pretty woman, stop awhile
Pretty woman, talk awhile
Pretty woman, give your smile to me
Pretty woman, yeah, yeah, yeah
Pretty woman, look my way
Pretty woman, say you'll stay with me
'Cause I need you, I'll treat you right
Come with me, baby, be mine tonight

Pretty woman, don't walk on by
Pretty woman, don't make me cry
Pretty woman, don't walk away, hey
Okay
If that's the way it must be, okay

I guess I'll go on home, it's late
There'll be tomorrow night, but wait
What do I see?
Is she walkin' back to me?
Yeah, she's walkin' back to me
Oh, oh, pretty woman
