"Don't Smoke In Bed"

"Don't Smoke In Bed"


I left a note on his dresser
And my old wedding ring
With these few goodbye words
How can I sing
Goodbye old sleepy head
I'm packing you in like I said

Take care of everything
I'm leaving my wedding ring
Don't look for me
I'll get a hand
Remember darling
Don't smoke in bed

Don't look for me
I'll get a hand
Remember darling
Don't smoke in bed

"Easy Does It"

"Easy Does It"


You said you needed love to warm you in the night
So you gave yourself to strangers, who left you crying at first light

You think the world you live in doesn't notice you
But don't you worry, baby, I'll be there to comfort you

So take it easy, easy
Easy does it, baby, nice and slow, I'll take you anywhere the four winds blow

So weep no more, my lady, don't you cry
I can't paint your portrait with those tears in your eye

But I can give you love, every night and day
An' we will walk together, the sun and moon will light our way

So take it easy, easy
Easy does it, baby, nice and slow, I'll take you anywhere the four winds blow

I'll tell you something you'll understand
Grab a hold now, baby, and I'll lead you to the promised land

I'll make you feel so good, make you feel alright
Chase away the shadows and keep you warm at night, ooh, I'll keep you warm

Take it easy, easy
Easy does it, baby, nice and slow, I'll take you anywhere the four winds blow

Gonna keep you smiling and satisfied
Nothing but blue skies on a magic carpet ride

Take it easy, easy
Easy does it, baby, nice and slow, I'll take you anywhere the four winds blow

Anywhere the four winds blow, I'll take you there

Here we go, baby, hold on

No more worry, no more pain
The sun is always shining, and it never, ever rains, and it never, ever rains
And it never, ever rains

"Easy Evil"

"Easy Evil"


Well you are
Such an easy evil
You're such a sensuous sin
Sometimes I don't know where I'm goin'
'Til I been taken in

You're such an easy evil
Such a promise of fun
Sometimes I don't know what I'm doin'
'Til I'm done, you're a sneaky one

Here he comes now touchin' me
Callin' my name
Again
Here I go now
Like a moth to a flame
I'm a puppet for you baby

Such an easy evil
You're such a sensuous sin
Sometimes I don't know where I'm goin'
'Til I been taken in, yeah

Here he comes now touchin' me
Callin' my name
Again

Like a moth to a flame
I'm a puppet for you baby

Such an easy evil
You're such a sensuous sin
Sometimes I don't know where I'm goin'
'Til I been taken in

Well, no, no, no...
'Til I been taken in
I been taken in
I been taken in

"Easy Living"

"Easy Living"


Living for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love
And I'm so in love
There is nothing in life but you

I never regret the years that I'm giving
It's easy to give when you're in love
I'm happy to do whatever I do for you

For you maybe I'm a fool
But it's fun
People say you rule me with one wave of your hand
Darling, it's grand
They just don't understand

Living for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love
And I'm so in love
There's nothing in life but you

"Elmer's Tune"

"Elmer's Tune"


Why are the stars always winkin' and blinkin' above?
What makes a fella' start thinkin' of fallin' in love?
It's not the season, the reason, it's plain as the moon
It's just Elmer's tune

What makes a lady of eighty go out on the loose?
Why does a gander meander in search of a goose?
What puts the kick in a chicken, the magic in June?
It's just Elmer's tune

Listen, listen, there's a lot you're liable to me missin'
Sing it, swing it any ol' way and any ol' time
The hurdy-gurdies, the birdies, the cop on the beat
The candy maker, the baker, the man on the street
The city charmer, the farmer, the man in the moon
All sing Elmer's tune

The hurdy-gurdies, the birdies, the cop on the beat
The baker and the man on the street
The city charmer, the farmer, the man in the moon
All sing Elmer's tune

They all sing Elmer's tune
They all sing Elmer's tune
Sing Elmer's tune

"Everything's Movin' Too Fast"

"Everything's Movin' Too Fast"


It used to take a farmer a day to get town
Now it takes a minute 'til his plane comes down
Because everything's movin' too fast
Everything's movin' too fast
You better save your money
Because everything's movin' too fast

You used to eat your spinach, now you never will
Because you think it's modern to take it in a pill
Because everything's movin' too fast
Everything's movin' too fast
You better save your money
Because everything's movin' too fast

You used to talk of rockets shooting to the moon
I used to think you were crazy but I'm taking one at noon
Because everything's movin' too fast
Everything's movin' too fast
You better save your money
Because everything's movin' too fast

I had a covered wagon, then a model t
I put them in the junkyard, they don't jump enough for me
Because everything's movin' too fast
Everything's movin' too fast
You better save your money
Because everything's movin' too fast

Now papa used to get his kicks from music that was sweet
Now he gets his kicks from a boogie woogie beat
Because everything's movin' too fast
Everything's movin' too fast
You better save your money
Because everything's movin' too fast

Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
Everything's movin' too fast

"Fever"
(originally by Little Willie John)

"Fever"
(originally by Little Willie John)



Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear

You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever! in the morning
Fever all through the night

Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
And you know I'm gonna treat you right

You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever! in the morning
Fever all through the night

Everybody's got the fever
That is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago

Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet, she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said, "Julie, baby, you're my flame

"Thou giveth fever
"When we kisseth
"Fever with thy flaming youth
"Fever! I'm afire
"Fever, yea, I burn, forsooth."

Cap'n Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said, "Daddy, oh, don't you dare!

"He gives me fever
"With his kisses
"Fever when he holds me tight
"Fever! I'm his missus
"Daddy, won't you treat him right?"

Now you've listened to my story
Here's the point that I have made
Chicks were born to give you fever
Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade

They give you fever
When you kiss them
Fever if you live and learn
Fever! till you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn

"Fine And Mellow"

"Fine And Mellow"


My man don't love me
Treats me oh so mean
My man he don't love me
Treats me awful mean
He's the, lowest man
That I've ever see

He wears high trimmed pan
Stripes are really yellow
He wears high trimmed pan
Stripes are really yellow

But when he starts in to love me
He's so fine and mellow

Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long repeat
Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long repeat

Love will make you do things
That you know is wrong

But if you treat me right baby
I'll stay home everyday
Just treat me right baby
I'll stay home night and day

But you're so mean to me baby
I know you're gonna drive me away

Love is just like the faucet
It turns off and on
Love is just like the faucet
It turns off and on

Sometimes when you think it's on baby
It has turned off and gone

"For Sentimental Reasons"

"For Sentimental Reasons"


I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I'll give you my heart

I love you and you alone were meant for me
Please give your loving heart to me
And say we'll never part

I think of you every morning
Dream of you every night
Darling, I'm never lonely
Whenever you are in sight

I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart

I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart

"From Now On"

"From Now On"


From now on, no more philandering,
No more hot spots, no scatterbrain.
From now on, my fun will be meandering
With my darling down Lovers' Lane.

The old gang will never know me
When they find
I've become the kind
People call "homing".
No more yearn for something new, dear,
All I need is you, dear, from now on.

From now on, no more philandering,
No more hot spots, no scatterbrain.
No more yearn for something new, dear,
All I need is you, dear, from now on.
