"It's The Talk Of The Town"

"It's The Talk Of The Town"

I can't show my face,
Can't go anyplace,
People stop an' stare,
It's so hard to bare,
Everybody knows you left me,
It's the talk of the town...

Every time we meet,
My heart skips a beat,
We don't stop to speak,
'Though it's just a week,
Everybody knows you left me,
It's the talk of the town...

We send out invitations,
To friends and relations,
Announcing our weddin' day
Friends and our relations,
Gave congratulations,
How can you face them?
What can you say?

Let's make up sweetheart,
We can't stay apart,
Don't let foolish pride,
Keep you from my side,
How can love like ours be ended?
It's the talk of the town...

[instrumental repeat of verse]

How can you face them?
What can you say?

Let's make up sweetheart,
We can't stay apart,
Don't let foolish pride,
Keep you from my side,
How can love like ours be ended?
It's the talk of the town... hmm

It's the talk of the town.

"Ivy Rose"

"Ivy Rose"

Ivy Rose, Ivy Rose, I'm in love with you
Cling to me, cling to me like a vine
I'll be yours when tonight is a memory
I'll be yours and you'll always be mine

As the years disappear in the twilight of time
With a sigh we will fondly recall
All the plans that we made, how we kissed unafraid
In the shade of the old ivy wall

Ivy Rose, Ivy Rose, I'm in love with you
Cling to me, cling to me like a vine
I'll be yours when tonight is a memory
I'll be yours and you'll always be mine

Hand in hand as we stand 'neath the old campus moon
Make believe that tomorrow is here
Picture me close to you in a dream house for two
Where the ivy grows greener each year

Ivy Rose, Ivy Rose, I'm in love with you
Cling to me, cling to me like a vine
I'll be yours when tonight is a memory
I'll be yours and you'll always be mine

"Juke Box Baby"

"Juke Box Baby"

When my jukebox baby takes the floor
'Round the old jukebox in the candy store
The joint starts jumpin'
Till the roof comes tumblin' down
(Choo-choo-wah, choo-choo-wah, shooby-doo-wah)
Jukebox baby, you're the swingin'est doll in town

(Jukebox baby) put a nickel in for Maybelline
(Jukebox baby) drop another one for Seventeen
Jukebox baby) whisper to your daddy-o
Three little love words
(Kokomo)

How ya gonna get your homework done
When you keep that jukebox on the run
You don't dig Latin like ya dig that crazy sound
(Choo-choo-wah, choo-choo-wah, shooby-doo-wah)
Jukebox baby, you're the swingin'est doll in town

(Jukebox baby) I hear you knockin'
(Jukebox baby) Keep the coin box hoppin'
(Jukebox baby) Tell me sincerely
That you ain't forgettin' no Tina Marie

(Hip-hip, hop-hop, ho-ho, aww

"Just Born (To Be Your Baby)"

"Just Born (To Be Your Baby)"

(Just born to be your baby...)
(Just born to be...)

Some people are born to be doctors
Some are born to be lumber jacks
Some are born just to take life easy
Others are born to break their backs

But I'm just born to be your baby
Just born to love you baby
It's true...
Nobody else will do

(Just born to be your baby...)
(Just born to be...)

Some people will kiss and nothin' happens
Other hearts are made of stone
But whenever I feel our lips meet
Somethin' starts crawlin' all through my bones

'Cause I'm just born to be your baby
Just born to love you baby
It's true...
Nobody else will do

(Just born to be...)

If now an' then you start to wonder
Will I be the perfect mate
Don't you worry my purdy little darlin'
It was all arranged by fate

'Cause I'm just born to be your baby
Just born to love you baby
It's true...
(It's true, it's true)
Nobody else will do

(Just born to be your baby...)
(Just born to be...)

Some people will search for love a lifetime
Some never feel love in their hearts
But I was born with a silver spoon
I had your love'a right from the start

Yes, I'm just born to be your baby
Just born to love you, baby
It's true... (It's true, it's true)
Nobody else will do

(Just born to be your baby...)
(Just born to be your own)

Yes, I'm just born to be your baby
Just born to love you baby
It's true...
(It's true, it's true)
Nobody else will do

(Nobody else will do)

Yes, I'm just born to be your baby
Just born to love you, baby
It's true...
(It's true, it's true)
Nobody else will do

(Just born to be your baby...)
Nobody else will do

"Let A Smile Be Your Umbrella (On A Rainy Day)"

Just let a smile be your umbrella,
On a rainy, rainy day . . .
And if your sweetie cries, just tell her,
That a smile will always pay . . .

Don't you worry or fret,
A smile will bring the sunshine,
And you'll never get wet!

So, let a smile be your umbrella,
On a rainy, rainy day . . .

"Like Someone In Love"

"Like Someone In Love"

Lately . . .
I find myself out gazin' at stars,
Hearing guitars,
Like someone in love . . .

Sometimes . . .
The things I do astound me,
Mostly . . .
Whenever you're around me . . .

Lately . . .
I seem to walk, as though I had wings,
Bump into things,
Like someone in love . . .

Each time I look at you,
I'm limp as a glove,
An' feelin' like someone in love . . .

[instrumental bridge]

I bump into things,
Like someone in love . . .

Each time I look at you,
I'm limp as a glove,
An' feelin' like someone in love . . .

"Like Young"

"Like Young"

I'm out doin' the usual places,
And I'm livin' it, like young!
Then I dig me this face of all faces,
She's the craziest, like young!

She drinks coffee at Café Espresso,
She reads Kerouac, like young!
She goes where all the angry young men go,
Recites poetry, like young!

We start blowin' the pad about lovin'
And we're homin' it, like now!
We spin records on cloud number seven,
And she's reaching me, like wow!

(He's all unstrung,
‘Cause man, she's got him feelin' like young!
If she were to frosh him and go,
He's startin' to wear his hair again,
Just like a square again!)

I keep a getting' the kookiest notion.
I think maybe it's like love!
I've been feelin' a crazy emotion,
I think baby, it's like love!

Now we're ridin' a rainbow to Cloudsville,
And we're makin' it like young!
Love... soft as April snow!
Love... warm as candle glow!
Love... love is easy go!

Now we're ridin' a rainbow to Cloudsville,
And we're makin' it like young!

[repeat last two lines twice to a whisper]

"Lili Marlene"

"Lili Marlene"

(This is the story of Lili Marlene,
doo, doo, doo doo, doo!)

Would you like to hear the story,
of a girl that many soldiers know?
It's a tale of love in all it's glory,
they tell when the lights are soft an' low!

Underneath the lamp post by the brigades
standing all alone every night you'll see her wait,
she waits for a boy who marched away
and though he's gone, she hears him say:

"Oh promise you'll be true,
fare thee well Lili Marlene,
'till I return to you,
fare thee well Lili Marlene!"

(This is the story of Lili Marlene!)

With a kiss she gave her promise,
to be constant as the stars above,
every soldier knows she's kept her promise,
and she has been faithful to her love!

(Underneath the lamp post by the brigade
standing all alone every night you'll see her wait,

for this is the place a vow was made
and breezes sing her serenade...)

"Oh promise you'll be true,
fare thee well Lili Marlene,
'till I return to you,
fare thee well Lili Marlene,"

(This is the story of Lili Marlene!
Though wee stems have an ending,
no one knows just what the end will be
but tonight when twilight is descending,
if you'll come along, here's what you'll see...)

Underneath the lamp post by the brigade
standing all alone every night you'll see her wait,
and as they go marching to the fray
the soldiers all salute and say:

We'll tell him you've been true,
fare thee well Lili Marlene,
'till he returns to you,
fare thee well...
Lili Marlene!

"Linda"

"Linda"

Linda, Linda . . .
Morning noon an' night I find
Linda's always on my mind . . .

When I go to sleep,
I never count sheep,
I count all the charms about Linda!

An' lately it seems,
In all of my dreams,
I walk with my arms about Linda . . .

But what good does it do me,
For Linda doesn't know I exist,
Can't help feelin' gloomy,
Think of all the lovin' I've missed!

We pass on the street,
My heart skips a beat,
I say to myself, "Hello Linda!"

If only she'd smile,
I'd stop for a while,
Then I would get to know Linda!

But miracles still happen,
And when my lucky star begins to shine,
With one luck break I'll make Linda . . .

Someday I'll betcha,

I'm gonna getcha!

[instrumental break]

Oh, Linda, Linda . . .

[instrumental break]

My Linda, Linda . . .

[instrumental break]

We pass on the street,
My heart skips a beat,
I say to myself, "Hello Linda!"

If only she'd smile,
I'd stop for a while,
Then I would get to know Linda!

But miracles still happen,
And when my lucky star begins to shine,
With one luck break I'll make Linda . . .

I'll make Linda mine!
Hmmm
