"Queen Of The Hop"

"Queen Of The Hop"


Well you can talk about your Julie and your Peggy Sue
You can keep your Miss Molly and your Mary Lou
When it comes to the chicken or to doing the hop
I've got a girl they call the queen of the hop

Well I love my queen
Do you know who I mean
Sweet little sixteen
Yes that's my queen

Well she wears short shorts and rock and roll shoes
Gotta see her dance to the yellow dog blues
She's my sugar time baby
I'm her lollipop
Everybody knows I love my queen of the hop

Well I love my queen
Do you know who I mean
Sweet little sixteen
Yes that's my queen

Well she tunes into bandstand every day
To watch the kids dancing cross the USA
She don't care about a thing except in rock and roll
My baby drives me crazy when she does the stroll

Well she tunes into bandstand every day
To watch the kids dancing cross the USA
She don't care about a thing except in rock and roll
My baby drives me crazy when she does the stroll

Well I love my queen
Do you know who I mean
Sweet little sixteen
Yes that's my queen

Well that's my queen
Yes that's my queen
Well that's my queen...

"Questions"

"Questions"


How do you kill a mountain
How do you make it fall
Well you chip away
Every day
And soon the clay
Will fade away
And the hole you've dug
In the dream you hug
Will be like a bug
In your ear
Can't you hear.

How do you kill the sunshine
How do you turn it out
Well you close your eyes
To the cries
And the lies
In the law's disguise
And the light will fade
In the evenin' shade
Which is only made
By the sun
Are you dumb.

How do you kill the ocean
How do you make it dry
Well you first dilute
Then pollute
Cut the fruit
At the root
And the ocean's floor
Will be like a whore
Who will lie no more
'cause she's dead
Use your head.

How do you kill the country
How does she disappear
Well you trade your tent
In for rent
That will be spent
On poured cement
And the things that grew
When the earth was new
Which have nurtured you
Will be gone
Blow your horn.

How do you kill an idea?

"Reason To Believe"

"Reason To Believe"


If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe, it's all true
Knowin', that you lied straight faced while I cried
Still I'd look to find a reason to believe

Someone like you makes it hard
To live without, somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
And never think of myself

If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way and I'd leave the past behind
Knowin', that you lied straight faced while I cried
Still I'd look to find a reason to believe

If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way and I'd leave the past behind
Knowin', that you lied straight faced while I cried
Still I'd look to find a reason to believe

"Red Balloon"

"Red Balloon"


Bought myself a red balloon
Got a blue surprise
Hidden in the red balloon
The pinnin' of my eyes
Took a love light from my eyes
Blue, blue surprise

We met as friends
You were so easy to get to know
Will we see one other again
Oh, my, I hope so

Bought myself a red balloon
Got a blue surprise
Hidden in the red balloon
The pinnin' of my eyes

Playin' 'round with children's toys
As a child I got
Haven't time for children's toys
Though I have a lot

Bought myself a red balloon
Got a blue surprise
Hidden in the red balloon
The pinnin' of my eyes

"Release Me"

"Release Me"


Oh please release me let me go
I don't love you anymore
To live a lie would be a sin
Release me and let me love again
Oh I have found a new love dear
And I'll always want her near
Her lips, they're warm while yours are cold
Release me and darling let me go
Please release me let me go
I don't love you anymore
To live a lie would be a sin
Release me and let me love again
Please release me let me go
You'd be the fool to cling to me
Oh to live a lie would bring us pain
Release me and let me love again

"Rhythm Of The Rain"

"Rhythm Of The Rain"


Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

Now rain please tell me does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another when my heart's
Somewhere far away

The only one I ever cared about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

"She Knows"

"She Knows"


Soft music crowd overflows
Strange faces and party time clothes
Some dance but I’m not one to tango
She knows

Part of the picture is making the scene
But making a cool pistachio dream
She knows I’m no Sunday smoker, no sir

Putin’ on a show
Keep with time with one another
Stepin’ in between the broken lines
As anyone can see
No, she wouldn’t go so low with me
if she didn’t know what’s on my mind
As if she didn’t know

My pleasure, feelin’ at home
Knowin’ she’s near me, we’re finally alone
That’s me and that’s the me that she knows
She knows

Hey hey hey hey

My pleasure, feelin’ at home
Knowin’ she’s near me, we’re finally alone
That’s me and that’s the me that she knows
She knows

There’ll be good days, there’ll be bad days
There’ll be days she needs a comforting words

"Skylark"

"Skylark"


Skylark
Have you anything to say to me?
Won't you tell me where my love can be?
Is there a meadow in the mist
Where someone's waiting to be kissed?

Skylark
Have you seen a valley green with spring?
Where my heart can go a journeying
Over the shadows and the rain
To a blossom covered lane

And in your lonely flight
Haven't you heard the music in the night?
Wonderful music, faint as a will o' the wisp
Crazy as a loon, sad as a gypsy serenading the moon

Oh skylark
I don't know if you can find these things
But my heart is riding on your wings
So if you see them anywhere
Won't you lead me there?

Oh skylark
I don't know if you can find these things
But my heart is riding on your wings
So if you see them anywhere
Won't you lead me there?

"Softly, As I Leave You"

"Softly, As I Leave You"


Softly, I will leave you softly
For my heart would break
If you should wake
And see me go
So I leave you softly...

Long before you miss me
Long before your arms
Can beg me stay
For one more hour
Or one more day...

After all the years
I can't bear the tears to fall
So softly as I leave you there
As I leave you there
As I leave you there...

Softly... after all the years
I can't bear the tears to fall
So softly as I leave you there...

As I leave you there...
As I leave you there...

As I leave you there...
As I leave you there.
