"Monkey's Uncle"

"Monkey's Uncle"



Well I'm a feeling mighty fine, I'm going on a spending spree
I'm in the money like a monkey when it's hanging from a coconut tree
I feel Monkey's uncle and I'm gonna let the best man see

I got a date with my baby going to the jungle dance
All the ape's are swinging and a drinking all the jungle gin
I feel Monkey's uncle & I'm gonna let the best man in

Well when the music gets started they don't stop
Start a realling & rolling, then they rock
The music they were playing had a jungle beat
And they were jumping like monkey's in a coconut tree.

Well everybody was jumping, things were getting really hot
I got my baby Gorilla she was dancing like a spinning top
I feel monkeys uncle & the music will never stop... A Yeah yeah!

Well when the music gets started they don't stop
Start a realling & rolling, then they rock
The music they were playing had a jungle beat
And they were jumping like monkey's in a coconut tree.

Well everybody was jumping, things were getting really hot
I got my baby Gorilla she was dancing like a spinning top
I feel monkeys uncle & the music will never stop... A Yeah yeah!

"Mountain Of Love"
(originally by Harold Dorman)



Standin' on a mountain lookin' down on a city
The way I feel is a doggone pity
Teardrops fallin' down the mountain side
Many times I've been here, many times I've cried
We used to be so happy when we were above
High on a mountain of love

Night after night I'm a-standin' here alone
Weepin' my heart out 'til the cold grey dawn
Hopin' that you're lonely and you'll come here too me
Hopin' just by chance that I'll get a glimpse of you
Trying hard to find you somewhere here above
High on a mountain of love

Mountain of love, mountain of love
You should be ashamed
Used to be a mountain of love
But you just changed your name

Way down below there's a half a million people
Somewhere there's a church with a great tall steeple
Inside the church, there's an altar filled with flowers
Wedding bells are ringin' and they should've been ours
That's why I'm so lonely, here up above
High on a mountain of love

Mountain of love, mountain of love
You should be ashamed
You used to be a mountain of love
But you just changed your name

Way down below there's a half a million people
Somewhere there's a church with a greet tall steeple
Inside the church, there's an altar filled with flowers
Wedding bells are ringin' and they should've been ours
That's why I'm so lonely, here up above
High on a mountain of love
High on a mountain of love
High on a mountain of love
On a mountain of love

"Move"



We're gonna move on out to a hot spot on the hill
Gonna keep on rockin" till my baby gets her thrill
I wanna prove that I can move

Well, I'm itchin' all over, just to get out on that floor
When I move a little closer, mm you'll yell for more
I wanna prove that I can move

Oh, let it roll

Well, my heart beats faster when I get my girl in sight
She gets all lit up and shines out in the night
That's where you prove that you can move

Well,tthere's people all over who came here just to rock
They gonna keep on movin' till they rock around the clock
They wanna prove, yeah, that they can move

Ooh, let's move, well, let's move
We're sure to prove that we can move

"My Baby Died"

"My Baby Died"



My girl and I went for a ride one night
The sky was dark but the moon was bright
My ford it gleamed with shiny chrome
I didn’t know I’d never take her home

We met Johnny who was jealous of me
He’d challenged us to a race you see
My girl said no, this you mustn’t do
But my show down with Johnny was way over due

Johnny was driving in a hot rod car
I started the ford from my ma and pa
My car went fast, but Johnny went like a jet
My fists got clammy and all covered in sweat

We pushed ninety at the turnpike bend
If we don’t stop, it’s going to be the end
As we rode round the corner, I saw a mother and child
I swerved to the side but my steering went wide
My car hit Johnny all I saw was flames
With my hand I held onto my chain
I got out the car and fell on the street
I was I’d lost the one who made life sweet

Her fine young body was all battered and torn
And I was left with a ring she’d never worn
I picked her up and walked away
Though she’s gone her love was here to stay
Oooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh

"My Bucket's Got A Hole In It"



Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it

Well, I went upon a mountain
I looked down in the sea

Doing the be bop beep
Cause my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it

Well, I'm standing on the corner
With a bucket in my hand
I'm a waitin' for a woman
That ain't got no man
Cause my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer

Well, me and my baby

And now we sit together
On the running board
Cause my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer

Mmm Never,
I know I'll never,
Or ever grow tired of you

Oh never,

And there will never be a cloud
To keep the sun from shining through

If you really love me then baby won't you hear my plea
If you really love me then come on back to me

"Nobody"

"Nobody"



Who taught the birds to sing in the trees? Nobody
Who taught the flowers to dance in the breeze? Nobody
Just like a sea washing on the sand
I just naturally take your hand, I wanna be your loving man
Who can love you like this man can? Nobody

Who got the bees to gather in honey child? Nobody
Who taught the sunny day to be sunny now? Nobody
Just like the stars glowin' in the sky
You got the natural look of love in your eye
You can't deny there ain't no lie
Who can love you as good as I? Nobody

Who got the girls to walk like they walk yeah? Nobody
Who got the girls to talk like they jive yeah? Nobody
A natural woman just turns me on, just like the sun comes up at dawn
I want to see you keep on keepin' on
I don"t know why you"re gonna be like nobody

"Now Listen"

"Now Listen"



Now Listen
Don't throw it all away
In a second everything could change
Just look around you see those by your side
It's not that hard to make somebody smile

So if that's all it takes
We can learn from our mistakes
We can walk that extra mile
To make it all better

Ooh if that's what needed
Don't sit and wait
Before it gets to late
We gotta hold on, hold on
If that's all it takes

Now Listen
Just let somebody know
Make your emotions they shelter from the cold
We can all make better use of time
With someone special we could loose in life

So if that's all it takes
We can learn from our mistakes
We can walk that extra mile
To make it all better

Ooh if that's what needed
Don't sit and wait
Before it gets to late
We gotta hold on, hold on
If that's all it takes

We can all make better use of time
With someone special we could loose in life

So if that's all it takes
We can learn from our mistakes
We can walk that extra mile
To make it all better

Ooh if that's what needed
Don't sit and wait
Before it gets to late
We gotta hold on, hold on
If that's all it takes
We gotta hold on, hold on
If that's all it takes
Ooooh oooh umm
