Lonely Street Lyrics
I'm looking for that lonely street
I've got a sad, sad tale to tell
I need a place to go and weep
Where's this place called "lonely street? "
A place where there's just loneliness
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called "lonely street? "
Perhaps upon that lonely street
There's someone such as i
Who came to bury broken dreams
And watch an old love die
Where's this place called "lonely street? "

Just ask your heart who dreams about you
Just ask your heart who's faithful and true
Someone who cares and won't make you blue
Just ask your heart who loves only you
Then you will find your true love will be Someone who cares for you and wants to make you happy
Then when your heart say he loves only you And when it says he won't make you blue Then ask your heart if your love is true Just ask his heart'-loves only you
She comes on like a rose
But everybody knows
She'll get you in Dutch
You can look but you'd better not touch
Poison Ivy Poison Ivy Late at night while you're sleeping Poison Ivy comes creeping around
She's pretty as a daisy
But look out man she's crazy
She'll really do you in
If you let her get under your skin
Measles make you mumpy And mumps will make you lumpy And chicken pox will make you Jump and switch A common cold will fool you And whooping cough can cool ya But Poison Ivy lord will make you itch
Your gonna need an ocean Of calamine lotion You'll be scratching like a hound The minute you start to mess around
Our guardian star lost all his glow
The day that I lost you
He lost all his glitter the day you said, no
And his silver turned to blue
Like him, I am doubtful that your love is true
But if you decide to call on me
Ask for Mr. Blue
I'm Mr. Blue (wah-a-wah-ooh)
When you say you love me (ah, Mr. Blue)
Then prove it by goin' out on the sly
Provin' your love isn't true
Call me Mr. Blue
I'm Mr. Blue (wah-a-wah-ooh)
When you say you're sorry (ah, Mr. Blue)
Then turn around, head for the lights of town
Hurtin' me through and through
Call me Mr. Blue
I stay at home at night (I stay at home)
Right by the phone at night (right by the phone)
But you won't call
And I-I won't hurt my pride (call me Mr)
I won't tell you (wah-a-wah-ooh)
Why you paint the town (ah, Mr. Blue)
A bright red to turn it upside down
I'm paintin' it too
But I'm paintin' it blue
Call me Mr. Blue (wah-a-wah-ooh)
Call me Mr. Blue (wah-a-wah-ooh)
Call me Mr. Blue
Put your head on my shoulder
Hold me in your arms, baby
Squeeze me oh so tight
Show me that you love me too
Put your lips next to mine, dear
Won’t you kiss me once, baby
Just a kiss goodnight, may be
You and I will fall in love
People say that love’s a game
A game you just can’t win
If there’s a way
I’ll find it someday
And then this fool with rush in
Put your head on my shoulder
Whisper in my ear, baby
Words I want to hear
Tell me, tell me that you love me too.
Put your head on my shoulder
Whisper in my ear, baby
Words I want to hear, baby
Put your head on my shoulder

I am only five years old and my baby's three
But I know that she's my girl just you wait and see
When I say I love my girl, she replies to me
Yeah
Which means to say she loves me
In baby talk
To say she loves me
She can no be very well, everybody knows
But to me she shore looks swell, in her baby clothes
I asked her if her love is true and she only goes
Yeah
Which means to say she loves me
I'll tell the world, that I love her so
And if she wants to be my girl
I'll never, (ever), never let her go
um-um-um
she will say to me
When I kiss her on the cheek, oh so tenderly
Although I'm only five years old, she has only three
I really love my baby
Love my baby

Mack the Knife Lyrics
Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it, ah, out of sight
Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe
So there’s never, never a trace of red
Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh, whoo sunny morning, un huh
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
And someone’s sneakin' ‘round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
There's a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river dontcha know
Where a cement bag’s just a'drooppin' on down
Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten old Macky’s back in town
Now d'ja hear ‘bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?
Now Jenny Diver, ho, ho, yeah, Sukey Tawdry
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky’s back in town
I said Jenny Diver, whoa, Sukey Tawdry
Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky’s back in town
Look out, old Macky's back!!

Broken hearted melody Once you were our song of love. Now you just keep taunting me With the memory of
His tender love. Oh,
Broken hearted melody
Must you keep reminding me
Of the lips I long to kiss
And the love I miss since he went away.
Night and day they play.
But, broken hearted melody
That he used to sing to me
When our love was young and bright
As he held me tight;
Suddenly I found: I was out of bound
His tender love. Oh,
Broken hearted melody
Won't you bring him back to me
Sing to him until he hears,
For when he returns no more will he be,
A broken hearted melody.
Never felt like this until I kissed ya
How did I exist until I kissed ya
Never had you on my mind
Now you’re there all the time
Never knew what I missed til I kissed ya, uh-huh
I kissed ya, oh yeah
Things have really changed since I kissed ya, uh-huh
My life’s not the same now that I kissed ya, oh yeah
Mmm, ya got a way about ya
Now I can’t live without ya
Never knew what I missed til I kissed ya, uh-huh
I kissed ya, oh yeah
You don’t realize what you do to me And I didn’t realize what a kiss could be Mmm, you got a way about ya Now I can’t live without ya Never knew what I missed til I kissed ya, uh-huh I kissed ya, oh yeah
I kissed ya, uh-huh
I kissed ya, oh yeah

I'm Gonna Get Married Lyrics
(Johnny, Johnny, Johnny)
(Johnny, you're so young)
But I'm gonna get married
(You're so young)
My name she'll carry
(You're so young Johnny, you're so smart)
But not smart enough to hide an aching heart
How come my heart deserts me
Burning full of love and desire
How come every time she kiss me
It sets my world on fire
How come every time she leave me
It seems like I've lost a part
I may be too young to marry
But not to hide an aching heart
(Johnny, you're so young) Shocks I wanna get married (You're so young) My name she'll carry (You're so young, Johnny, you're so smart) But not smart enough to hide an aching heart
How come every time she kiss me
It lifts me right off the floor
How come every time she kiss me
It thrills me from head to toe
How come every time I see her
It move me just more and more
I may be too young to marry
Don't you think order no

I Want to Walk You Home Lyrics
I want to walk you home
Please let me walk you home
I want to walk you home
Please let me walk you home
You look so good to me, ooh-ooh-wee
I wish I was the lucky guy
Who could walk you right on down the aisle
I love the way you walk
I love to hear you talk
I love the way you walk
I love to hear you talk
I'm not trying to be smart
I'm not trying to break your heart
But if I ask you for a date
Will you tell me that I'm not too late
I want to hold your hand
Please let me hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
Please let me hold your hand
You look so good to me, ooh-ooh-wee
I saw you walkin' all alone
That's why I want to walk you home
So let me walk you home
Please let me walk you home
I want to walk you home
Please let me walk you home
You look so good to me, ooh-ooh-wee
I saw you walkin' all alone
That's why I want to walk you home
That's why I want to walk you home

Just A Little Too Much Written by: Johnny Burnette
Just A Little Too Much Lyrics
Sometimes I think I love you, aw, just a little too much You know you thrill me, baby, with your magic touch That's why I want you, honey, and love you like I do I'm gonna scream and shout it There ain't no doubt about it That's why I love you like I do (like I do)
Well, sometimes I think you kiss me, aw, just a little too much
You drive me crazy, baby, with your magic touch
You make me feel so good when the moon is shinin' bright
With our lips together and you're squeezin' me so tight
Well, I went steady once before, though I'd love the girl next door
She stepped out on me, you see, and couldn't be true
But I got over all my dreams, time went by so fast, it seems
But now I know I'll never get over you
all right

Three Bells Lyrics:
A bell for birth
A bell for marriage
A bell for death
There's a village hidden deep in the valley
Among the pine trees half forlorn
And there on a sunny morning
Little Jimmy Brown was born
So his parents brought him to the chapel
When he was only one day old
And the priest blessed the little fellow
Welcomed him into the fold
All the chapel bells were ringing in the little valley town
And the song that they were singing was for baby Jimmy Brown
There's a village hidden deep in the valley
Beneath the mountains high above
And there, twenty years thereafter
Jimmy was to meet his love
Many friends were gathered in the chapel
And many tears of joy were shed
In June on a Sunday morning
When Jimmy and his bride were wed
All the chapel bells were ringing, 'twas a great day in his life
'Cause the songs that they were singing was for Jimmy and his wife
From the village hidden deep in the valley
One rainy morning dark and grey
A soul winged its way to heaven
Jimmy Brown had passed away
Silent people gathered in the chapel
To say farewell to their old friend
Whose life had been like a flower
Budding, blooming till the end
Just a lonely bell was ringing in the little valley town
'Twas farewell that it was singing to our good old Jimmy Brown
And the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
Lead us not into temptation, may his soul find the salvation
Of thy great eternal love

There's a village hidden deep in the valley
Among the pine trees half forlorn
And there on a sunny morning
Little Jimmy Brown was born

All the chapel bells were ringing in the little valley town
And the song that they were singing was for baby Jimmy Brown
Then the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
Lead us not into temptation, bless this hour of meditation
Guide him with eternal love
There's a village hidden deep in the valley
Beneath the mountains high above
And there, twenty years thereafter
Jimmy was to meet his love
(Bong, bong, bong, bong)
All the chapel bells were ringing, 'twas a great day in his life
'Cause the songs that they were singing was for Jimmy and his wife
Then the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
Lead us not into temptation, bless, oh Lord this celebration
May their lives be filled with love
From the village hidden deep in the valley
One rainy morning dark and grey
A soul winged its way to heaven
Jimmy Brown had passed away
