"But Not For Me"

"But Not For Me"

They're writing songs of love, but not for me
A lucky star's above, but not for me
With love to lead the way,
I've found more clouds of grey
Than any Russian play could guarantee

I was a fool to fall and get that way
Heigh ho, alas, and also lack-a-day
Although I can't dismiss the memory of her kiss
I know she's not for me

It all began so well, but what an end
This is the time a feller needs a friend
Although I can't dismiss the memory of her kiss
I'm so well aware she's not for me

"Camptown Twist"

"Camptown Twist"

now the camptown ladies they sing this song (doo dah)
they say the camptown racetrack five miles long
I've come down here to see the horses run
and if I don't make money I'll have some fun

because we're gonna twist all night
we're gonna twist all day
if I don't make some money I'll have some fun
twistin' the night away

now the longtailed filly and the big black horse
they tried too take a shortcut and couldn't get across
the black horse stick in a big muddy hole
and the filly wound up around a ten foot pole

I don't care
we're gonna twist all night
we're gonna twist all day
if I don't make some money I'll have some fun
twistin' the night away

you oughtta seem them fly on the ten mile heat
they go round the racetrack and then repeat
now I win my money and the bobtailed neck
I'm gonna keep my money in an old shoebag

we're gonna twist all night
we're gonna twist all day
since I done won this money I'm gonna have some fun
twistin' the night away

we're gonna twist all night
we're gonna twist all day
since I done won this money I'm gonna have some fun
twistin' the night away

"Canadian Sunset"

"Canadian Sunset"

Once I was alone
So so lonely and then
You came out of nowhere
Like the sun up from the hills
Cold, cold was the wind
Warm, so warm, warm were your lips
Out there on that ski trail
Where your kiss filled me with thrills

A weekend in Canada
A change of scene
Was the most I bargained for
And then I discovered you
And in your eyes
I found a love I couldn´t ignore
Down, down came the sun
Fast fast fast beat my heart
I knew, when the sunset
From that day we´d never part

A weekend in Canada
A change of scene
Was the most I bargained for
And then I discovered you
And in your eyes
I found a love that I couldn´t ignore

Down, down came the sun
Fast fast so fast fast beat my heart
I knew, when the suns et
From that day we´d never part
we´d never part, we´d never part

"Chain Gang"

"Chain Gang"

(Hoh! Ah!) I hear something saying (Hoh! Ah!)

(Hoh! Ah!)(Well don't you know)
That's the sound of the men,
Working on the chain, ga-ang
That's the sound of the men,
Working on the chain, gang

All day long they're singing (Hoh! Ah!)

(Well don't you know)
That's the sound of the men,
Working on the chain, ga-ang
That's the sound of the men,
Working on the chain, gang

All day long they work so hard till the sun is going down
Working on the highways and byways and wearing, wearing a frown
You hear they moaning their lives away
Then you hear somebody say

That's the sound of the men,
Working on the chain, ga-ang
That's the sound of the men,
Working on the chain, gang

Can't you hear them singing, mmm (Hoh! Ah!)
I'm going home one of these days
I'm going home, see my woman
Whom I love so dear
But meanwhile I gotta work right here

(Well don't you know)
That's the sound of the men,
Working on the chain, ga-ang
That's the sound of the men,
Working on the chain, gang

All day long they're singing, mmm (Hoh! Ah!)
My work is so hard
Give me water
I'm thirsty, my work is so hard
Woah ooo
My work is so hard

"Chains Of Love"

"Chains Of Love"

Chains of love
Have tied my heart to you
Chains of love
Have made me feel so blue
Now that I'm your prisoner
Tell me what you're gonna do

What I wanna know is
Are you gonna leave me
Are you gonna make me cry
Tell me baby
Are you gonna leave me
Are you gonna make me cry
The chains are gonna haunt me
Until the day I die

Let me tell you right now
If you're gonna leave me
Please wont you set me free, pretty baby
If you're gonna leave me
Please wont you set me free
Cause I can't stand these chains around me
Unless you're here with me

In conclusion let me tell you honey
It's three o'clock in the morning
And oh, the moon is shining bright
One more time now
Three o'clock in the morning
The moon is shining bright
And O I just sit and wonder
Where can you be again tonight

"Comes Love"

"Comes Love"

Come a rain storm put your rubbers on your feet
Comes a snow storm you can get a little heat
Comes love nothing can be done
Comes a fire then you know just what to do
Blow a tire You can buy another shoe
Comes love nothing can be done
Don’t try hidin?
'Cause there isn’t any use
You’ll start slidin?
When your heart turns on the juice
Comes a headache you can lose it in a day
Comes a toothache see the dentist right away
Comes love nothing can be done!

Comes a heat wave you can hurry to the shore
Comes a summons you can hide behind the door
Comes love Nothing can be done
Comes the measles you can quarantine the room
Comes a mousie you can chase it with a broom
Comes love nothing can be done
That’s all brother
If you’ve ever been in love
That’s all brother
You know what I’m speaking of!
Comes a nightmare you can always stay awake
Comes depression you may get another break
Comes love nothing can be done!

"Crazy In Love With You"

"Crazy In Love With You"

I say I'll move the mountains
and I'll move the mountains
if she wants them out of the way
crazy she calls me
sure I'm crazy
crazy in love I say

I say I'll go through fire
and I'll go through fire
as she wants it so it shall be
crazy she calls me
sure I'm crazy
crazy in love you see

like the winds shakes the bows
she moves me with a smile
the difficult I'll do right now
the impossible will take a little while
I say I care forever and I care forever
If I have to hold up the sky
crazy she calls me
sure I'm crazy
crazy in love am I

[background singers]
I say I care forever and I'll care forever
If I have to hold up the sky

crazy she calls me
sure I'm crazy
crazy in love am I

"Cry"

"Cry"

If your sweetheart, sends a letter, of goodbye
It's no secret, you'll feel better, if you cry
When waking from a bad dream,
don't you sometimes think it's real
Well it's only false emotions,
that you feel

If your heartaches seems to hang around too long
And your blues keep getting blue-er with each song
Remember, sunshine can be found behind a cloudy sky
So let your hair down and go on and cry

remember, sunshine can be found, behind a cloudy sky
so let your hair down and go on and cry
so let your hair down and go on and cry.

"Cry Me A River"

"Cry Me A River"

Now you say you're lonely
You cry the whole night through
Well you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

You drove me, nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember all that you said
Told me love was true, too plebeian being
Told me you were through with me and

And now you say you love me
Well just prove you do
Come and cry me a river
Cry cry me a river
Cause I cried a river over you

Come on and cry me a river
Cry cry me a river
I cried a river over you

"Cupid"

"Cupid"

Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me, for me
Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me

Now, I don't mean to bother you
But I'm in distress
There's danger of me losing all of my happiness
For I love a girl who doesn't know I exist
And this you can fix

So, Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me, nobody but me
Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me

Now, Cupid, if your arrow make her love strong for me
I promise I wll love her until eternity
I know between the two of us her heart we can steal
Help me if you will

So, Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me, nobody but me
Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me

Now, Cupid
Don't you hear me
Calling you?
I need you
Cupid
Help me
I need you
Cupid
Don't fail
