"So Glad You're Mine"

"So Glad You're Mine"



My baby's long and tall
She's like a cannonball
Say, everytime she loves me
Lordly, you can hear me squall
She cried, Ooo-wee
I believe I'll change my mind
She said, "I'm so glad I'm living"
I cried, "I'm so glad you're mine"

My baby knows just how
To treat me right
Gives me plenty loving
Morning, noon, and night
She cried, Ooo-wee
I believe I'll change my mind
She said, "I'm so glad I'm living"
I cried, "I'm so glad you're mine"

When my baby does what she does to me
I climb the highest mountain
Dive in the deepest sea
She cried, Ooo-wee
I believe I'll change my mind
She said, "I'm so glad I'm living"
I cried, "I'm so glad you're mine"

My baby's lips are red
And sweet like wine
And when she kisses me
I get high every time
She cried, Oo-wee
I believe I'll change my mind
She said, "I'm so glad I'm living"
I cried, "I'm so glad you're mine".

"So Long Baby Goodbye"

"So Long Baby Goodbye"


I know
I've been foolin' myself too long
I'm never right but always wrong
Goodbye, Baby, so long

You know
You never let this thing catch on
You never let me be that strong
Goodbye, Baby, so long

There was a cold wind blowing on the night we met
The leaves fell from the trees
You made a lot of promises I ain't seen yet
And I ain't gonna ask you please

We know
None of us are gonna cry
It wasn't even worth the try
So long, Baby, Goodbye

There was a cold wind blowing on the night we met
The windows were rolled up tight
We both asked for something we could never get
Now I'll do the thing that's right

We know
None of us are gonna cry
It wasn't even worth the try
So long, Baby, Goodbye

"So Long Christmas"

"So Long Christmas"


We’re gonna drink champagne like it’s going in and out of style
I’m gonna burn that plastic on things that I can’t afford
We’re gonna party all night like we’ve never ever partied before
So long Christmas
I’m-a- rolling in another New Year

So tell your friends and your neighbours and tell all your family
Well it’s all on the house, I’m gonna treat my friends tonight
We’re gonna eat ‘til we drop, we gonna dance ‘til we fall on the floor
So long Christmas
I’m-a- rolling in another New Year

Well, forget all your troubles you had this year
A few regrets and a few little tears
But every New Year we’re gonna lay that burden down
In a friendly atmosphere in the company of friends
We’re all gonna join when the hour descends
Auld Land Syne never heard it like we’re singing it now

So tell your friends and your neighbours and tell all your family
Well it’s all on the house, I’m gonna treat my friends tonight
We’re gonna eat ‘til we drop, we gonna dance ‘til we fall on the floor
So long Christmas
I’m-a- rolling in another New Year, yeah!

Well, forget all your troubles you had this year
A few regrets and a few little tears
But every New Year we’re gonna lay that burden down
In a friendly atmosphere in the company of friends
We’re all gonna join when the hour descends
Auld Land Syne never heard it like we’re singing it now

We’re gonna drink champagne like it’s going in and out of style
I’m gonna burn that plastic on things that I can’t afford
We’re gonna party all night like we’ve never ever partied before
So long Christmas
I’m-a- rolling in another New Year
So long Christmas
I’m-a- rolling in another New Year
So long Christmas
I’m-a- rolling in another New Year

"Somewhere In The Night"

"Somewhere In The Night"



Somewhere in the night
Somewhere in the dark out there
Hidden out of sight
Feeling like nobody cares
It's a heart that used to be
Happy just to be with me
But now it's broken, out there somewhere in the night

Not so long ago
When our love was carved in stone
We didn't even know
What it meant to be alone
And those eyes that used to shine
With a love that I knew was mine
But now they're crying, out there somewhere in the night

It's not the way this story, supposed to end
I want to say
Let's turn the pages back and start again
If there's a way, to make it turn out right
I know I'll only find it out there, out there somewhere in the night
Somewhere in the night....Out there!

Deep inside my heart
I know it's gonna be alright
We shouldn't be apart
Just because of one little fight
Was a bad day now and then
To a heartache that never ends
That leaves us always out there somewhere in the night

It's not the way this story, supposed to end
I want to say
Let's turn the pages back and start again
If there's a way, to make it turn out right
I know I'll only find it out there, out there somewhere in the night

Somewhere in the night
Somewhere in the night
Somewhere in the night
Somewhere in the night
Somewhere in the night
Somewhere in the night

"Spirit Of Woodstock"

"Spirit Of Woodstock"



Well, I have to tell about some folks today
Who got together from across the USA
Oh, they took their cars, their girls, their wives
In their hands now they took their lives
The spirit of Woodstock remains in America today

Well, they slept in bags on the grassy slopes of the highway
And they were almost overcome by the traffic in the heat of the byway
Well, now they ate their food from a little tin can
'Cause they didn't have any pots and pans
The spirit of Woodstock remains in America today

Well I left my job and I began my journey
I don't care what troubles this may bring
I did my thing!
Well, I was there so I know what I'm talking about
When the music began you should have heard them holler and shout
But then they sat in the mud, right next to each other
Showing lots of love, like they're sisters and brothers
The spirit of Woodstock remains in America today

When I was driving there it seems that every single rock 'n' roll station
Had a talking 'bout our Woodstock across the nation
Although the roads were closed at a-half past three
If you had no ticket, they let you in free
The spirit of Woodstock remains in America today

I said, the spirit of Woodstock remains in America today
I said, the spirit of Woodstock remains in America today

"Spooky"
(originally by The Classics IV)



In the cool of the evening
When everything is getting kind of groovy
You call me up and ask me
Would I like to go with you and see a movie?
First I say no, I've got some plans for tonight
And then I stop and say "all right"
Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little girl like you

You always keep me guessing
I never seem to know what you are thinking
And if a fellow looks at you
It's for sure your little eye will be a-winking
I get confused, I never know where I stand
And then you smile and hold my hand
Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little girl like you
Spooky!

What's that baby?
You make me feel soo spooky
Oh yeah crazy honey
.. I just love
Spooky!
Spooky!

If you decide some day to stop this little game that you are a-playing
I'm gonna tell you all the things my heart's been a-dying to be saying
Ooh Just like a ghost you've been a-haunting my dreams
So I propose on Hal-lo-ween
Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little girl like you
Spookyyy!

Ooh Spooky
Ooh Spooky
Aah Spooky
Spooky
Spooky

"Such A Night"

"Such A Night"



It was a night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
The moon was bright oh how so bright
It was it really was such a night
The night was alight with stars above
Oo-oo when she kissed me
I had to fall in love

Oh it was a kiss oo-oo what a kiss
It was it really was such a kiss
Oh how she could kiss oh what a kiss
It was it really was such a kiss
Just the thought of her lips
Sets me afire
I reminisce and I'm filled with desire
But I'd gave my heart to her in sweet surrender
How well I remember, I'll always remember

Oh, what a night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
Came the dawn and my heart and her love
And the night was gone
But I'll never forget the kiss
The kiss in the moonlight
Oo-oo such a kiss, such a night

It was a night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
Came the dawn and my heart and her love
And the night was gone
But I'll never forget the kiss
The kiss in the moonlight
How well I remember, I'll always remember

That night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
When we kissed I had to fall in love
But I'd gave my heart to her in sweet surrender
How well I remember, I'll always remember

Oh that night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
When we kissed I had to fall in love
Well she's gone, gone, gone
Yes she's gone, gone, gone
Came the dawn, dawn, dawn
And my love was gone
But before that dawn
Yes before that dawn and before that dawn
Oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo
Such a night

"Sugaree"

I got a letter from my baby
She said she's comin' home today
I got a letter from my baby
She said she's comin' home today
Oh well, my baby wasn't lyin'
She was comin' home to stay

Sugaree, sugaree

I got a pencil and a paper
And I sat right down to write
I got a pencil and a paper
And I sat right down to write
I said I miss you in the daytime
But I miss you more at night

Sugaree, sugaree
Sugaree, sugaree

Don't you know I love you so

Oh well, I met her at the station
She had her baggage in her hand
Oh well, I met her at the station
She had her baggage in her hand

I'll make you happy if I can

Sugaree, sugaree

"Summertime Blues"

"Summertime Blues"


I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm a-gonna raise a holler
About a-workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar
Well one time I called my baby, tried to get a date
My boss says, no dice son, you gotta work late
Sometimes I wonder, what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Oh well my main and papa told me
Son you gotta make some money
If you wanna use the car to go ridin' next sunday
Well I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick
Now you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a-late
Sometimes I wonder, what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations
Well I called my congresman and he said quote
I'd like to help you son, but you're too young to vote
Sometimes I wonder, what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
