"River Of Love"

"River Of Love"


Hey baby, won't you take a little ride with me.
Have a look around,
See what we can see.
I've got the paddle,
I've got the boat.
Come on baby, I know she'll float.

[Chorus:]
We'll go rolling on the river of love,
We'll go rolling on the river of love.

Drift away from all these city lights,
Might rock a little bit,
So hold on tight.
Let's get carried away with the gentle flow.
Might get caught up in its undertow.

We'll go rolling on the river of love,
Let's go rolling on the river of love.

I got a little ukulele, let me sing you a song.
Got a stream of kisses about ten miles long.
Dancing on the water in the moonlight beach.
Sparkling down through the sea of dreams.

[Chorus 2x]

River of love, River of love, River of love.
Rolling on the river of love,
Let's go rolling, rolling on the river of love.
Let's go rolling on the river of love.
Rolling on the river of love.
Rolling on the river of love.
Let's go rolling, rolling on the river of love.

"Rockin' In The Arms Of Your Memory"

"Rockin' In The Arms Of Your Memory"


The first time I saw you
You were waitin' tables at the corner diner
I said to myself
Never seen a woman look any finer

From that moment on
I was stone cold gone
You would be forever in my mind

Now somewhere in the neon lights
I'm holdin' on for dear life
Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight

It was San Francisco
Silly sutis and white ties by the bay
You appeared with your papa
Tears were rolin' down your mother's face

Everyone was happy
Showered by well wishers as we drove away

Now somewhere in the neon lights
I'm holdin' on for dear life
Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight

I'm living but dying
I'm laughing but crying
Somebody tell me it will be alright

I bought it for your birthday
God you looked so lovely in that dress
I took you to a party
Or was it to a night club I forget

Been twenty years and counting
I'm drowning in your love a little more each day

Now somewhere in the neon lights
I'm holdin' on for dear life
Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight

Now somewhere in the neon lights
I'm holdin' on for dear life
Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight

"Round About Way"

"Round About Way"


As far as all my friends can tell
I took her leavin' well - that's kinda right,
'Cause when I'm out with them,
I don't let her memory rule the night.
For the most part I'm okay,
But I still miss her in a round about way.

[Chorus:]
Around about the time that midnight rolls around.
That's around about the time my tears start falling down.
'Cause she's not around,
I come unwound and my heart breaks.
Yeah, I still miss her in a round about way.

I no longer sit alone for hours by the phone,
Wishin' she would call.
And just the other day
I took her smilin' face down off my wall.
I've come a long long way,
But I still miss her in a round about way.

[Chorus]

Yeah, I still miss her in a round about way.

"Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer"

"Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer"


You know Dasher and Dancer, and Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid, and Donner and Blitzen,
But do you recall, the most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw it,
You could even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names;
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee,
"Rudolph the red-nosed Reindeer,
You'll go down in history."

"Run"

"Run"


If there's a plane or a bus leaving Dallas
I hope you're on it
If there's a train moving fast down the tracks
I hope you caught it

Cause I swear out there ain't where you ought to be
So catch a ride, catch a cab
Don't you know I miss you bad
But don't you walk to me

Baby run, cut a path across the blue skies
Straight in a straight line
You can't get here fast enough

Find a truck and fire it up
Lean on the gas and off the clutch
Leave Dallas in the dust
I need you in a rush
So baby run

If you ain't got a suit case
Get a box or an old brown paper sack
And pack it light or pack it heavy
Take a truck, take a Chevy
Baby just come back

There's a shortcut to the highway out of town
Why don't you take it
Don't let that speed limit slow you down
Go on and break it

Baby run, cut a path across the blue skies
Straight in a straight line
You can't get here fast enough

Find a truck and fire it up
Lean on the gas and off the clutch
Leave Dallas in the dust
I need you in a rush
So baby run

Baby run
Oh baby run
Baby run

"Same Kind Of Crazy"

"Same Kind Of Crazy"


Did you ever meet somebody that likes all the same things you do?
Somebody who can make you or break you anytime they want to
I met her at a red light, love at first sight, can this be true?
She's good for me and she told me I was good for her too

Now, I don't want to jump into anything
I've been tryin' to use some self restraint
But man it's amazin'
She's the same kind of crazy as me

Wild, wild nights, chasin' each other through the moonlight
My, my, my, I finally got somethin' right

'Cause every little off-beat move she makes
Suits me to a tee
You know what I'm sayin'
She's the same kind of crazy as me

It's gettin' hard to use a ladder 'cause I keep climbin' down just to kiss her
'Cause she's out of my sight for a minute or two, I start to miss her
We stay all tangled up in each other's arms and it's so nice
She talks in her sleep but she always gets my name right

If there's anything at all that's wrong with her
It's somethin' that I can't see
Ain't no doubt about it
She's the same kind of crazy as me

Wild, wild nights, chasin' each other through the moonlight
My, my, my, I finally got somethin' right

'Cause every little off-beat move she makes
Suits me to a tee
You know what I'm sayin'
She's the same kind of crazy as me

You know what I'm sayin'
She's the same kind of crazy as me

"Santa Claus Is Coming To Town"

"Santa Claus Is Coming To Town"


You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not put I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list and checkin' it twice
Gonna find out who's knotty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when your sleepin'
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
O you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not put I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

With little tin horns
And little toy drums
Rutty toot, toots and rummy tum, tum
Santa Claus is coming to town

With curly head dogs to cuttle and hug
Elephants, ropes, and kitty card to
Santa Claus is coming to town

The kids and girl and boy land
Will have a jubilee
There gonna fill the toy lad all around with Christmas trees

So you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not put I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming to town

"Santa's On His Way"

"Santa's On His Way"


Christmas is always my favorite time of year
Sleighbell's ringin' jingle lingin'
Christmas time is near
Can't wait to build a snowman
And play outside all day
Nothing could be better
I gotta write a letter
Santa's on his way

[Chorus:]
Christmas time is always
A special time of year
A time for joy and happiness
And lots of Christmas cheer

Can't wait to decorate the tree
That we brought home today
Nothin' could be better
I gotta write a letter
Santa's on his way

[Chorus]

So have a very Merry Christmas
And a jolly happy day
Nothin' could be better
I gotta write a letter
Santa's on his way

Santa's on his way
Santa's on his way

"Second Chances"

"Second Chances"


Man don't you know
This woman you want and crave
Is the queen of my kingdom
When she walks through the garden
Roses drop pedals
To cushion the foot steps she takes
I know she once loved you
And I know you still lover her
But you carlessly asked for your freedom
I can see how it hurts you
But it's too late
You made your mistakes

Man you know second chances these days
Are so hard to come by
I love that lady
So you best forget
Ever gettin' her back cause she's mine
Man you know I had somebody else once
And she just gave me one try
And second chances these days
Are so hard to come by

Man you know second chances these days
Are so hard to come by
I love that lady
So you best forget
Ever gettin' her back cause she's mine
Man you know I had somebody else once
And she just gave me one try
And second chances these days
Are so hard to come by

And second chances these days
Are so hard to come by

"Shame On Me"

"Shame On Me"


You played me for a fool
And I played the part so well
You played it smart, you played it cool
Broke every promise, every rule
And I couldn't even tell

You looked me in the eyes
And said, I was the only one
It was no surprise
That I kept falling for your lies
And they had only just begun

Fool me once, shame on you
You told me that you would be true
You were so easy to believe
Fool me twice, shame on me

I thought I'd won your heart
But you were still in love with him
You said we'd never be apart
It was a lie right from the start
You left me hanging on this limb

I never thought that you could be
The kind to hurt me just for fun
But it's sure no fun for me
I think it's time to set you free
Pick myself up and say we're done

Fool me once, shame on you
You told me that you would be true
You were so easy to believe
Fool me twice, shame on me

You were so easy to believe
Fool me twice, shame of me
