"Danny Boy"

"Danny Boy"



Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
It's you it's you must go, I must bide

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
it's I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
It's you it's you must go, I must bide

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
it's I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so

"Desire Me"

"Desire Me"



Desire me, desire me
As I desire you
Desire me and want me
That's all I ever ask of life
That you will someday come to me
And say that you love me
As I love you
Hmm

Desire me and tell me
That you are mine and mine alone
Desire me and love me
And be the queen upon my throne
For I will always worship you
No matter where you go or what you do

There comes a time in the life of every boy
When one and only one girl will do
So now the time has come
And I know that you're the one
And all that I will ever want is you

So desire me desire me
That's all I ever ask of you
Desire me and love and tell me that you want me too
For nothing else will matter in the world
As long as I am close to you

There comes a time
In the life of every boy
When one and only one girl will do
So now the time has come
And I know that you're the one
And all that I will ever want is you
So now the time has come
And I know you are the one
And all that I will ever want is you

"Don't Get Around Much Anymore"

"Don't Get Around Much Anymore"



Missed the saturday dance
I heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore

Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
I don't get around much anymore

Darling I guess, my mind is more at ease
But nevertheless why stir up old memories

Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
I don't get around much anymore

O, I miss that saturday dance
But I heared they flooded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore

So I thought I'd visit the club
But I only got as far as the door
Someone will have asked me about you
I don't get around much anymore

Darling I guess, my mind is more at ease
But nevertheless why stir up old memories

Been invited on dates
might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
I don't get around much anymore

"Driftin' Blues"

"Driftin' Blues"



I'm driftin'
I'm driftin'
Like a ship out on the sea
I'm driftin'
I'm driftin'
I'm driftin'
Like a ship out on the sea
No, I ain't got nobody
In the world to care for me

If my baby would only take me back again, back again
If my baby would only take me back again, back again

I know I'm a good for nothing
And I haven't got no friends
Listen to me, honey
I gave you all my money
Tell me tell me tell me tell me
What more can I do
Didn't I give to u all my money?
Now tell me what more can I do!
I'll realize you're a good little girl
But it seems that you won't be true

Seems like I got to tell you
Baby, bye bye
Bye bye, baby
Listen to me
I know you gonna miss me
This time you gonna be
The one to cry

"Everybody Loves To Cha Cha Cha"

"Everybody Loves To Cha Cha Cha"



Everybody loves to cha cha cha
Little children loves to cha cha cha
They like to cha cha cha
They like to cha cha cha
Everybody loves to cha cha cha

I took my baby to the hop last night
And much to my surprise
When we got there she hit me with the news
Right between the eyes

Well, she said she could't do the cha cha cha
She said she couldn't do the cha cha cha
She couldn't cha cha cha
She couldn't cha cha cha
My baby couldn't do the cha cha cha

I told her not to worry
They'll play some other dance
But we sat there for an hour and a half
And we never got the chance

'Cause, every song they played was the cha cha cha
Every song that played was the cha cha cha
It was the cha cha cha
It was the cha cha cha
Every number was the cha cha cha

I told her not to worry
Theres only one thing we can do
Baby if you'll let me take you by the hand
I'm going to teach this dance to you

And then I taught her one, two cha cha cha
Three, four cha cha cha
And up now cha cha cha
Back now cha cha cha
Turn now cha cha cha
Back now cha cha cha
I taught my baby how to cha cha cha

We kept on dancing
And was I surprised, for you see
After we practiced for a little while
She was doing it better than me

Now, my baby loves to do the cha cha cha
She loves to do the cha cha cha
She loves to cha cha cha
She loves to cha cha cha
My baby loves to do the cha cha cha

Now here we go one, two cha cha cha
Three, four cha cha cha...

"Exactly Like You"

"Exactly Like You"



I know why I waited
know why I've been blue
I've been praying for someone, baby
exactly like you
why should we spend money, on a show or two
while no one does those love scenes, baby
exactly like you

you make me feel so grand
I wanna give this world to you
you seem to understand
each foolish little dream I'm dreaming
and the schemes I'm scheming

now I know why mother taught me to be true
she meant me for someone, baby
exactly like you

just like you, baby, oh
just like you
mother meant me for someone exactly like you

I know why I waited
know why I been blue
I've been waiting for someone, baby
exactly like you
why should we spend money on a show or two
while no one does those love scenes, baby
exactly like you

you make me feel so grand
I wanna give this world to you
you seem to understand
each foolish little dream I'm dreaming
and the schemes I'm scheming
now I know why mother taught me to be true
she meant me for someone
exactly like you

just like you, baby, just like you
mother meant me for someone exactly like you
just like you, baby, pretty just like you
mother meant me for someone exactly like you

"Falling In Love"

"Falling In Love"



I'm falling in love
With someone
Who's not falling in love with me
How can I escape this future
That holds nothin' but misery?

I'm giving my all
To someone
Who's not giving her all to me
If she only knew what she's doin' to me
She would set my poor heart free

I know there's been many before me
Who've had a one-sided love
But goodness knows
A poor boy like me
Needs some help from above

So Lord I'm falling in love
With someone
Who's not falling in love with me
If she only cared just the very least bit
I'd be happy as a boy could be
Lord, I'd be happy as a boy could be

"Far Away Places"

"Far Away Places"



Far away places with strange sounding names
Far away places over the sea
Those far away places with strange sounding names
Are calling, calling me

Goin' to China, or maybe Siam
I wanna see for myself
Those far away places
I've been reading about
In a book that I took from a shelf

I start getting restless whenever I hear
the whistle of a train
I pray for the day I can get underway
And look for those castles in Spain
they call me a dreamer
well maybe I am
But I know that I'm burning to see
Those for away places with strange sounding names
calling, calling me
calling, calling me

"Fool's Paradise"

"Fool's Paradise"




I often think off the life I've led
And oh, it's a wonder I ain't dead
Drinking and gambling, staying out all night
Living in a fool's paradise

My mother told me, and Father told me too
Said my child, it'll all catch up with you
Drinking and gambling, staying out all night
Living in a fool's paradise

Though I've learned my lesson
Like all fools I've met
Oh, I've learned things in this life
That I haven't forgotten yet

My father told me, Mother said it right
Said my son, you're ruining your life
Drinking and gambling, staying out all night
Living in a fool's paradise
Oh, yeah, living in a fool's paradise

I love you
For sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my
Given you my heart because I mmm you
And you alone were meant for me
Please give your loving heart to me
And say we'll never part

And I know I'm never lonely
Whenever you are in sight

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

I think of you every morning
Can I help it if I dream of you every night
No, no, no, no, I'm never lonely
Whenever you are in sight

I know that I love you
And you alone were meant for me
Please give your loving heart to me
And tell we will never part

My darling I love you
I love you
