"Fallin'"
(originally by Connie Francis)

"Fallin'"
(originally by Connie Francis)



I got the feeling I'm-a fallin'
Like a star up in the blue
Like I was fallin' off Niagra
In a paddle boat canoe
Mmm, I got to feeling I'm a fallin'
And it's all because of you

Like I was walking on a tight rope
Swinging in the breeze
And though I tried to keep my balance
Yeah, I weaken in the knees
I got the feeling I'm a fallin'
Lover, help me please

Like a leaf falls from a branch
Like a rock slide avalanche
Like the rain on a stormy day
I never thought I'd fall this way

I thought that love could never touch me
Yeah, I was riding high
And then my ivory tower toppled
And I tumbled from the sky
Mmm, I got to feeling I'm a-fallin'
You're the reason why

Like a life well he married for
Just like the walls in Jericho
Like Delilah's holy town
And Samson tore it down

I thought that love could never touch me
Yeah, I was riding high
And then my ivory tower toppled
And I tumbled from the sky
Mmm, I got to feeling I'm fallin'
And you're the reason why (fallin')

Oh, you're the reason why (fallin')
Oh, love, you're the reason why (fallin')
Love, love, you're the reason why (fallin')
Whoa, you're the reason

"For The Good Of The Cause"

"For The Good Of The Cause"



Bodies like yours should be used for something
More than just waving around like a flag
Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to tell you
I want you for only your body 'cause baby it just ain't my bag
What's living inside that beautiful closet
Won't you let it come out for a while?
We got our flaws, all need applause
Come and get it for the good of the cause...

People will lead you into believin'
That I don't love ya but you know it ain't true
Didn't I take you, when you was no-one?
Put you up very comfortably honey on Fifth Avenue
I only wanted the best for us baby
So give it the best that you can
We got our flaws, all need applause
Come and give it for the good of the cause...

Come and give it for the good of the cause...
Come and give it for the good of the cause...

Some guys I know would sell their own mother
Just for a glass of wine
We got our flaws, all need applause
Come and get it for the good of the cause, yeah!
Come and get it for the good of the cause
Come and get it for the good of the cause...

"Forty Winks Away"

"Forty Winks Away"



I Just can't wait to fall asleep
I can't wait for night each day
'cause when the lights are low
No matter where you go,
You're only 40 winks away, away.

No matter how far you may be,
Believe me darling when I say,
The oceans in between
I cross them on a dream
'cause you're just 40 winks away, away.

There's a land of enchantment
Just beyond my pillowcase,
And I go there 'cause I know there
I'll be in your sweet embrace.

So till you come back home again,
Until you're in my arms to stay,
It's kinda nice to know,
I turn the lights down low,
And you're just 40 winks away, away, away.

"God Bless Joanna"

"God Bless Joanna"



When the world is all wrong and I can't get along
Deep inside me a voice says, "You've gotta be strong"
It's the sound of her words, like the words of a song
That comfort me
God bless Joanna

When I'm feeling uptight and I can't sleep at night
I don't know how she knows, but she turns on the light
And I tell her what's wrong and she makes it alright
So tenderly
God bless Joanna

Without Joanna
Life would be no easy thing
She melts the winter
When my heart's in need of spring
Just the warmth of her smile and the light in her eyes makes the sun shine
How I love her
How I love her

If my time here on earth
Was suddenly through
And I stood looking back on the world that I knew
And somebody asked, "What did life mean to you?"
I'd have to say
"God bless Joanna"

Just the warmth of her smile and the light in her eyes makes the sun shine
How I love her
How I love her

If my time here on earth
Was suddenly through
And I stood looking back on the world that I knew
And somebody asked, "What did life mean to you?"
I'd have to say
"God bless Joanna"
"God bless Joanna"

"Going Home To Mary Lou"



Ding dong ding dong click clack a chugga chugga
Ding dong ding dong do
Ding dong ding dong click clack a chugga chug
I'm going home to Mary Lou

Down at the station early in the morning
Waiting for the 602

To the arms of Mary Lou

Ring that bell and blow that whistle cause I want the world to know
I'm heading home to my honeycomb

Ding dong ding dong click clack a chugga chug

Keep a moving down the line
Each mile we do brings me closer to
That sweet little gal of mine

"Gone With The Morning"

"Gone With The Morning"



The sound of sunshine shouts
Across the window sill
A drum that echoes through
A world that once was still

Gone with the morning
Where did the feeling go?
What was here is here no more
We are shadows of the night before

Two daytime strangers wake
A long way from the night
We couldn't make the journey
From the dark to light

Gone with the morning (gone with the morning)
What happens I don't know (I don't know)
The bed is warm where we have slept
Sunshine came and we were swept away
We are only victims of the day

Gone with the morning (gone with the morning)
Where did the feeling go? (where did it go?)
What was here is here no more
We are shadows of the night before

I wish I knew why love
Just fades away and dies
Like stars that live by night
And tumble from the skies

Chased by the dawning (chased by the dawning)
Gone with the morning light (gone with the light)
Where did the feeling go?
Just what happened I don't know
The song refused to linger on
Love was here, but now love is gone (love is gone)
With the morning

"Good Times, Good Music And Good Good Friends"

"Good Times, Good Music And Good Good Friends"



Gonna sing a song, gonna be a love song
Sing about the good good feeling you brought along
You put my mind at rest
Made me feel like I'd been blessed
With good time, good music and good good friends

When I was feeling down, when I was feeling low down
You turned me on to good good music
You turned me right around
You took be to your breast
You held me up with your sweet caress
And good times, good music and good good friends

I remember when you found me
I was hungry and alone
First you fed me then you loved me
You made me feel at home

Wanna sing a song, got to be a love song
Sing about the good good feeling you brought along
Wanna scream and shout
How did I ever do without
Good times, good music and good good friends

Wanna scream and shout
How did I ever do without
Good times, good music and good good friends

"Goodman Goodbye"

"Goodman Goodbye"


Hey there, gotta beware, life goes on here seriously.
No time for harmony, just a lotta hot air.
Go join the underground, if you think the world has lost its mind,
You oughta hang around with people of your own kind.

Gotta lotta nerve to call me "Brother",
After all we're nothin' to each other.
My name's Goodman, my good man, goodbye.

Seems like every year people like you come waltzin' by,
Drift in and outa here, like a butterfly.
I've seen 'em come and go, glittering queens and movie stars,
Don't give a damn you know, whoever the hell you are.

Man, you better think again if you've been thinkin' there's a chance for dancin' here.
Here, we've found a little peace and we're determined to preserve it, do I make myself clear?

Hey there, gotta beware, life goes on here seriously.
No time for harmony, just a lotta hot air.
Go join the underground, if you think the world has lost its mind,
You oughta hang around with people of your own kind.

Gotta lotta nerve to call me "Brother",
After all we're nothin' to each other.
My name's Goodman, my good man, goodbye.

When you were two years you could barely say a word
But since you've grown up your future is sewn up
From now on you're gonna be heard so

If we should smile with sweet surprise
It's just that you've grown up before our very eyes
You've grown into the prettiest toddler we'll ever see
