County Fair
(B. Wilson/Usher)
This time each year in our hometown
The county fair comes our way
Where the folks gather round to be happy and spend
their day
A-here's what happened now,
I soon decide that I'd take with me
The most specialest girl I knew
I had her pack us a lunch and on down the dirt road
we flew
Right then I knew what I had to do
Before that day was through
I had to win a stuffed doggie or I'd break her poor
heart in two
A let me tell you now,
I passed up a chance when I walked by a booth
Where you throw a dart and break a balloon
I snuck by a couple more, but I had to get caught real
soon
I hit the rubber stump just as hard as I could
But I didn't make it ring the bell
I tried again and again, but I just didn't do so well
Can you believe it now,
Up walked a fella and he tapped me on the shoulder,
said
I can win your girl a prize
So, he flexed all his muscles and knocked the bell up
in the sky
Yeah the big strong guy knocked the bell in the sky
Took my girl and the doggie away
Yeah the big strong guy knocked the bell in the sky
Took my girl and the doggie away
Yeah the big strong guy knocked the bell in the sky
Took my girl and the doggie away
Ten Little Indians
(B. Wilson/Usher)
Ten little Indian boys
The first little Indian gave squaw pretty feather
The second little Indian made her an Indian dollar
Well the third little Indian gave her moccasin leather
The squaw didn't like them at all
The fourth little Indian took her riding in his big
canoe
The fifth little Indian took her down the waterfall
The sixth little Indian taught the squaw how to woo-
woo
But the squaw didn't like them at all
One little, two little, three little Indians
Four little, five little, six little Indians
Seven little, eight little, nine little Indians
Ten little Indian boys
The seventh little Indian took her over to his tepee
The eighth little Indian tried to give her a love poem
The ninth little Indian said "You're my Kemosabe"
The squaw didn't like them at all
The tenth little Indian said it really didn't matter
He acted like himself and he didn't look at her
The squaw didn't care if he never did a thing
Cause she loved the tenth Indian boy
Loved the tenth Indian boy
Loved the tenth Indian boy
Loved the tenth Indian boy

Chug-A-Lug
(B. Wilson/Usher/Love)
Here a mug, there a mug, everybody chug-a-lug
Here a mug, there a mug, everybody chug-a-lug
Gary likes a girl's tight black pants
Larry knows he doesn't stand a chance
Carl says hurry up and order it quick
Dave gets out to chase that chick
Dennis wonders what's under the hood
A big chrome tach and it sounds real good
I go down to the root beer stand
And drink up all that I can
Give me some root beer
Give me some root beer
Give me some root beer
Cold beer, root beer
Here a mug, there a mug, everybody chug-a-lug
Brian's still glued to the radio
Louie's lookin' out the rear window
Guy's got around to ordering fries
But root beer's my best buy
Give me some root beer
Give me some root beer
Give me some root beer
Cold beer, root beer
Here a mug, there a mug, everybody chug-a-lug
Give me some root beer
Give me some root beer
Give me some root beer
Cold beer, root beer

Root beer, need another mug now
Root beer, chug-a-lug-a-lug now
Little Girl (You’re My Miss America)
(Catalano/Alpert)
Little girl just in your teens
Little girl you're in my dreams

Dear won't you be mine

Heads You Win Tails I Lose
(B. Wilson/Usher)
Every time
We have a fight
We flip a coin
To see who's right
Why do we have to gamble just to see who's right?
Why can't we arbitrarily resolve a fight?
But with your style of gambling there's no chance to
win
That's how it is, and that's the way it's always been
Heads, you win
Tails, I lose
Heads, you win
Tails, I lose
Bad news
If we were playing cards you'd be the one to deal
You'd play with loaded dice and fix the roulette
wheel
You pick them at the races like I've never seen
And then you make me pay off like a slot machine
Heads, you win
Tails, I lose
Heads, you win
Tails, I lose
Bad news
Oh well, match me honey
Take my money
You know the odds are yours
So flip the coin
I'm going to make some changes with this gambling
game
From now on I'm the dealer and I'll do the same
I'll load my dice and stack the deck and fix the odds
again
So if you want to flip to see who's right I know I'll
win
Heads, I win
Tails, you lose
Heads, I win
Tails, you lose
Bad news
Oh well, match me honey
Take my money
You know the odds are yours
So flip the coin
I'm going to make some changes with this gambling
game
From now on I'm the dealer and I'll do the same
158
I'll load my dice and stack the deck and fix the odds

Summertime Blues
(Cochran/Capehart)
I'm going to raise a fuss, I'm going to raise a holler
About a working all summer just to try to earn a
dollar
Every time I call my baby, and ask to get a date
My boss says, "No dice son, you got to work late"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a going to do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Well my mom and pop told me, "Son you got to make
some money"
If you want to use the car to go riding next Sunday
Well I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick
"Well you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a
lick"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a going to do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
I'm going to take the weeks, going to have a fine
vacation
I'm going to take my problem to the United Nations
Well I called my congressman and he said "Whoa!"
"I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a going to do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
We knew it must have been late

Cuckoo Clock
(B. Wilson/Usher)
We had no time to wait
I went to light the fireplace
I planned it all this way, and
I snuggled close to her
Her heart began to purr
I held my breath inside, and then
I put my arms around her
Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo
I put that birdie away
His cuckoo was gone to stay
We both apologized for why
Forgave that doggone cuckoo
I went back to her side
I had to swallow my pride
The fire had almost died away
We just got situated
Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo
I took that clock apart
I broke the cuckoo's heart
He'll never bother us again
We just forgot about him
Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo
The Shift
(B. Wilson/Love)
Check out the chick with the new dress on
The call it a shift and it comes on strong
When she's got it on, well she can't do no wrong
You may think a dress can't do very much
With the slit up the side, you can't resist that touch
It's tighter than a moo-moo and it's just too much
Turns me on now (get a shift now)
Can't go wrong now (go wrong now)
Turns me on now (get a shift now)
Turns me on now (turns me on now)
Get your girl a shift and she'll look real fine
It fits like a glove and drives you outta your mind
She'll ball it with her shift on and we'll have a good
time
Turns me on now (get a shift now)
Turns me on now (get a shift now)
Turns me on now (get a shift now)
Turns me on now (get a shift now)
Turns me on now (get a shift now)
Turns me on now (get a shift now)

(Usher/B. Wilson)
The lonely sea
The lonely sea
It never stops
For you or me
It moves along
From day to day
That's why my love
That's why my love
You'll never stay
You'll never stay
This pain in my heart
These tears in my eyes
Please tell the truth
You're like the lonely sea
Sea
The lonely sea
Lonely sea
Lonely sea
Lonely sea
Shut Down
(B. Wilson/Christian)
Tach it up, tach it up
Buddy going to shut you down
It happened on the strip where the road is wide
Two cool shorts standing side by side
Yeah, my fuel injected Stingray and a four-thirteen
Revving up our engines and it sounds real mean
Tach it up, tach it up, tach it up
Buddy going to shut you down
Declining numbers at an even rate
At the count of one we both accelerate
My Stingray is light the slicks are starting to spin
But the four-thirteen's really digging in
Got to be cool now power shift here we go
Super-stock Dodge is winding out in low
But my fuel injected Stingray's really starting to go
To get the traction I'm riding the clutch
My pressure plate's burning that machine's too
much
Pedal's to the floor hear the dual quads drink
And now the four-thirteen's lead is starting to
shrink
He's hot with ram induction but it's understood
I got a fuel injected engine sitting under my hood
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down

Finders Keepers
(B. Wilson/Love)
I kicked out of the surf
And stuck my board in the sand
And then up in my Woody
To a hamburger stand
And when I got back
My nine five board was gone
She said yeah she said
Finders keepers
Losers weepers
Finders keepers
Finders keepers
Losers weepers
I saw a Hodaddy
Paddling out by the pier
Well he must have got my board
'Cause mine isn't here
But I know how to fix him
I'll just raise that meatball flag
He said yeah he said
Finders keepers
Losers weepers
Finders keepers
Finders keepers
Losers weepers
He took off on a swell
When he saw the flag

Pulling some kind of gag

Coming back to me
I said yes I said
Finders keepers
Losers weepers
Finders keepers
Finders keepers
Losers weepers
That'll teach him to mess with my board

Surfer Girl (1963)
Surfer Girl
(B. Wilson)
Little surfer little one
Made my heart come all undone
Do you love me, do you surfer girl
Surfer girl my little surfer girl
I have watched you on the shore
Standing by the ocean's roar
Do you love me do you surfer girl

Catch A Wave
(B. Wilson/Love)
Catch a wave and you're sitting on top of the
world
Don't be afraid to try the greatest sport around
(Everybody tries it once)
Those who don't just have to put it down
You paddle out turn around and raise
And baby that's all there is to the coastline craze
You got to catch a wave and you're sitting on top
of the world
Not just a fad cause it's been going on so long
(All the surfers going strong)
They said it wouldn't last too long
They'll eat their words with a fork and spoon
And watch them they'll hit the road and all be
surfin' soon
And when they catch a wave they'll be sitting on
top of the world
Catch a wave and your sitting on top of the world
So take a lesson from a top-notch surfer boy
(Get yourself a big board)
But don't you treat it like a toy
Just get away from the shady turf
And baby go catch some rays on the sunny surf
And when you catch a wave you'll be sitting on top
of the world
Catch a wave and you'll be sittin' on top of the
world
Catch a wave and you'll be sittin' on top of the
world
Catch a wave and you'll be sittin' on top of the
world

The Surfer Moon
(B. Wilson)
There's a moon in the sky somewhere I know
Waiting for all the love to burn below
If you fall and it happens all to soon
Blame it all on the surfer moon
'Neath the hill 'hind the cloud one dreamy night
Rising up throwing down its golden light
If your heart hears this melancholy tune
Then you'll know it's the surfer moon
Brings the tide in
Takes it all away
Helps us ride in
Brings us waves each day
I say
Other moons have brought light and love before
Promising to remain for evermore
But they all disappeared with each new tune
They make way for the surfer moon
Moon
Moon
Moon
Moon
South Bay Surfer
(Foster/B. Wilson/D. Wilson/A. Jardine)
Look out here come those South Bay surfers
California's getting hot
There they go cruising down that coastline
Looking for their favourite spot
We'll find the big one
Oh the boys are rough and
Ready to handle anything
They take the big one
They've got to be the best thing going
South Bay surfers really swing
Okay rock out
Oh Chicago can't you hear them
Hear that shore pound slam
It rumbles clear to New York City
Detroit back to old Miam
Philly back to Alabam

Little Deuce Coupe
(B. Wilson/Christian)
Little deuce Coupe
You don't know what I got
Little deuce Coupe
You don't know what I got
Well I'm not bragging babe so don't put me down
But I've got the fastest set of wheels in town
When something comes up to me he don't even try
Cause if it had a set of wings man I know she could
fly
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
Just a little deuce coupe with a flat head mill
But she'll walk a Thunderbird like she’s standing
still
She's ported and relieved and she's stroked and
bored.
She'll do a hundred and forty with the top end
floored
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
She's got a competition clutch with the four on the
floor
And she purrs like a kitten till the lake pipes roar
And if that ain’t enough to make you flip your lid
There's one more thing, I got the pink slip daddy
And coming off the line when the light turns green
Well she blows them out of the water like you
never seen
I get pushed out of shape and it's hard to steer
When I get rubber in all four gears
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
In My Room
(B. Wilson/Usher)
There's a world where I can go and tell my secrets
to
In my room, in my room
In this world I lock out all my worries and my
fears
In my room, in my room
Do my dreaming and my scheming
Lie awake and pray
Do my crying and my sighing
Laugh at yesterday
Now it's dark and I'm alone
But I won't be afraid
In my room, in my room
In my room, in my room
In my room, in my room

Hawaii
(B. Wilson/Love)
Do you wanna go
Straight to Hawaii
Hawaii
Straight to Hawaii
Oh do you wanna come along with me
I heard about all the pretty girls
With their grass skirts down to their knees
All my life I wanted to see
The island called Hawaii
Go to Hawaii
Hawaii
Straight to Hawaii
Oh do you wanna come along with me
Now I don't know what town you're from
But don't tell me that they got bigger waves
Cause everyone that goes
Comes back with nothing but raves
That's in Hawaii
Hawaii
Straight to Hawaii
Oh do you wanna come along with me
And pretty soon this Winter
They'll hold the surfing championship of the year
Surfer guys and girls
Will be coming from far and near
Go to Hawaii
Hawaii
Straight to Hawaii
Oh do you wanna come along with me
And you now
You’ll never ever want to leave.
Surfers Rule
(B. Wilson/Love)
It's a genuine fact that the Surfers rule
It's plastered on the walls all around the school
now
Becoming just as common as a golden rule now
Take it or leave it but you better believe it
Surfers rule
They burnt it in the grass on the football field now
Just try to make them cool it and they'll never
yield now
Take what you've heard now and go pass the word
now
Surfers rule
It's a genuine fact that the Surfers rule
A woody full of Surfers pulling alongside a wagon
The Hodaddies sitting while the Surfers are
dragging
The Surfers are winning and they say as they're
grinning
Surfers rule

Our Car Club
(B. Wilson/Love)
I've been cruising round the town now with the
guys for quite a while
We been thinking 'bout starting up a club that
shows some class and style
And we'll get the finest cars
We got a Deuce Coupe, a Stingray, a rail job and an
XKE
We'll be the fastest at the drags, man, we'll really
cut some low ETs
And wipe out the other clubs
We'll set a meet, and get a sponsor, and collect
some dues
And you can bet that we'll have our jackets on
wherever we cruise
We'll get the roughest and the toughest initiation
we can find
And if you want to try to get in we'll really put you
through the grind
This club's the very best
We'll set a meet, and get a sponsor, and collect
some dues
And you can bet that we'll have our jackets on
wherever we cruise
We'll get the roughest and the toughest initiation
we can find
And if you want to try to get in we'll really send
you through the grind
This club's the very best
Start a club, a car club
Start a club, a car club
Start a club, a car club
Start a club, a car club
Your Summer Dream
(B. Wilson/Norberg)
Drive your car down to the sea
All the while you build a scheme
Take her hand and walk on with her
Make it real your Summer dream
Smell the warm and salty air
See a wave reflect a beam
Stop and find a pretty shell for her
Make it real your summer dream
See another couple over there
To them an ordinary day
Soon you wonder the time has gone
The sun has almost slipped away
Now it's gone and you’re alone
In her eyes you see a gleam
Time has come for you to show your love
Make it real your Summer dream
Make it real your summer dream
Make it real your summer dream

Little Deuce Coupe (1963)
Ballad of Ole’ Betsy
(B. Wilson/Christian)
Betsy, Betsy
She was born in '32, and was she ever pretty
She rode a freight train west, all the way from
Detroit city
Betsy's seen more places than I'll ever hope to see
Betsy's been more loyal than any friend could be
With some she travelled fast, with others it was
slow
Betsy's seen them all, she'd seen them come and
go
She must have had some others before I finally
met her
And now that she's all mine, they'd better just
forget her
Betsy was a lady and that she will remain
Betsy took some beatings but she never once
complained
She had a classic beauty that everyone could see
I was the last to meet her, but she gave her life to
me
She may be rusted iron, but to me she's solid gold
And I just can't hold the tears back
'Cause Betsy's growing old
Be True To Your School
(B. Wilson/Love)
When some loud braggart tries to put me down
And says his school is great
I tell him right away
"Now what's the matter buddy
Ain't you heard of my school
It's number one in the state"
So be true to your school now
Just like you would to your girl or guy
Be true to your school now
And let your colours fly
Be true to your school
I got a letterman's sweater
With a letter in front
I got for football and track
I'm proud to where it now
When I cruise around
The other parts of the town
I got a decal in back
So be true to your school now
Just like you would to your girl or guy
Be true to your school now
And let your colours fly
Be true to your school
On Friday we'll be jacked up on the football game
And I'll be ready to fight
We're going to smash them now
My girlfriend will be working on her pom-poms
now
And she'll be yelling tonight
So be true to your school now
Just like you would to your girl or guy
Be true to your school now
And let your colours fly
Be true to your school
Rah rah rah Be true to your school
Rah rah rah Be true to your school
Rah rah rah Be true to your school
Rah rah rah Be true to your school

the plugs
Wo yeah

Cherry Cherry Coupe
(B. Wilson/Christian)
Go cherry, cherry coupe now
The wildest short around is my cherry, cherry

group
It's one of its kind and it really looks good
Chopped nose and deck with louvers on the hood
Go cherry, cherry coupe now
Go cherry, cherry coupe now
Go cherry, cherry coupe now
Go cherry, cherry coupe now
Chrome reversed rims with whitewall slicks
And it turns a quarter mile in one oh six
Door handles are off but you know I'll never miss

Go cherry, cherry coupe now

Spirit of America
(B. Wilson/Christian)
Spirit of America
Spirit of America
Spirit of America
The Bonneville salt flats had seen some strange
things
But the strangest thing yet was a jet without wings
Once as a jet it played in the stars
But now on the ground it's the king of our cars
Spirit of America
Spirit of America
Spirit of America
Spirit of America
Half airplane half auto now famous worldwide
The Spirit of America, the name on the side
The man who would drive her Craig Breedlove by
name
A daring young man played a dangerous game
Spirit of America
Spirit of America
Spirit of America
Spirit of America
With a J-47, a jet for his power
Craig Breedlove had averaged four-o-seven per
hour
Both man and machine had given fair warn
They'd set a new record on that warm August
morn.

No-Go Showboat
(B. Wilson/Christian)
No-go showboat no-go showboat
Well I got a wild custom that wins every show
But it's a no-go showboat
Yeah but everybody knows that she just don't go
She's my no-go showboat
White wall slicks with racing mags
She's just for looks, man, not for drags
'Cause it's a no-go showboat
No go
No go
Well the guys all dig it they've got no complaints
About my no-go showboat
And the chicks really flip for that metal flake paint
On my no-go showboat
It really rates fine in the custom clan
With hand-formed panels, tuck-and-roll rear pan
'Cause it's a no-go showboat
No go
No go
Well the engine compartment's filled with all
chrome goodies
In my no-go showboat (no-go showboat)
Yeah but everybody takes me even old Ford
woodies
In my no-go showboat (no-go showboat)
When it comes to speed, man, I'm just out of luck
I'm even shut down by the ice cream truck
'Cause it's a no-go showboat (no-go showboat)
No go

A Young Man is Gone
(Troup/Love)
Now a young man's gone
But his legend lingers on
For so much had he to give
But his life is through
For the story told is true
For he died just as he lived.
For this daring young star
Met his death while in his car
No one knows the reason why
Screaming tire, flashing fire
And gone was this young star
Oh how could they let him die
Still a young man is gone
Yet his legend lingers on
For he died without a cause
And they say that he'll
Be known for evermore
As the Rebel Without A Cause
Custom Machine
(B. Wilson)
Check my custom machine
Well she's metal flake blue with a corvette mill
And they say it looks better when she's standing
still
When I step on the gas she goes wah
I'll let you look but don't touch my custom
machine
Well with naugahyde bucket seats in front and
back
Everything is chrome, man, even my jack
When I step on the gas she goes wah
I'll let you look but don't touch my custom
machine
With stereophonic speaker set with vibrasonic
sound
Magnesium spokes, it stands an inch off the
ground
When I step on the gas she goes wah
I'll let you look but don't touch my custom
machine

Shut Down Volume Two (1964)
Fun Fun Fun
(B. Wilson/Love)
Well she got her daddy's car
And she cruised through the hamburger stand
now
Seems she forgot all about the library
Like she told her old man now
And with the radio blasting
Goes cruising just as fast as she can now
And she'll have fun fun fun
'Til her daddy takes the T-Bird away
Well the girls can't stand her
'Cause she walks looks and drives like an ace now
She makes the Indy 500 look like a Roman chariot
race now
A lotta guys try to catch her
But she leads them on a wild goose chase now
And she'll have fun fun fun
'Til her daddy takes the T-Bird away
Well you knew all along
That your dad was getting wise to you now
And since he took your set of keys
You've been thinking that your fun is all through
now
But you can come along with me
'Cause we got to a lot of things to do now
And we'll have fun fun fun now that daddy took
the T-Bird away
And we'll have fun fun fun now that daddy took
the T-Bird away
Don’t Worry Baby
(B. Wilson/Christian)
Well it’s been building up inside of me
For oh I don't know how long
I don't know why
But I keep thinking
Something's bound to go wrong
But she looks in my eyes
And makes me realize
And she says "Don't worry baby"
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
I guess I should've kept my mouth shut
When I started to brag about my car
But I can't back down now because
I pushed the other guys too far
She makes me come alive
And makes me want to drive
When she says "Don't worry baby"
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
She told me "Baby, when you race today
Just take along my love with you
And if you knew how much I loved you
Baby nothing could go wrong with you"
Oh what she does to me
When she makes love to me
And she says "Don't worry baby"
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby

In The Parkin’ Lot
(B. Wilson/Christian)
We're always first to hit the lot
And wave to the man in blue now
It's still so early in the morning
The grass is all covered with dew now
She's turning on the radio dial
We can sit a listen for awhile
She looks so great in the morning
She doesn't even have to try now
It's not my metal flake paint that
The guys are digging when they pass by now
Outside it could storm
But we'll still keep warm
All the kids are splitting to their lockers
But we're still making out in the car now
Just one long kiss and we'll be gone
Cause two minutes all there are now
Here comes the news
There's no time to lose
Warmth of the Sun
(B. Wilson/Love)
What good is the dawn
That grows into day
The sunset at night
Or living this way
For I have the warmth of the sun
Within me at night
The love of my life
She left me one day
I cried when she said
"I don't feel the same way"
Still I have the warmth of the sun
Within me tonight
I'll dreams of her arms
And though they're not real
Just like she's still there
The way that I feel
My love's like the warmth of the sun
It won't ever die
175
The Car of Mine
(B. Wilson/Love)
This car of mine
When I bought her now she wasn't new
Old and broke down
This car of mine
There's been a lot of races we been through
No slow poke now
I never want to part with her you see
This little car means a heck of a lot to me
I remember the day
When I chose her over all those old broken
junkers
Thought I could tell
Underneath a coat of rust she was gold
No clunker
Just couldn't wait to take her home with me
And fix her up just as new as she could be
Ain't no amount of gold any mine
Would be enough to take away this car of mine
This car of mine
Oh his car of mine
She's so fine now
Why Do Fools Fall In Love?
(Lymon)
Ooh wah ooh wah ooh wah
Why do fools fall in love
Why do birds sing so gay
Love is awake at the break of day
Why do they fall in love
Why does the rain fall from up above
Why do fools fall in love
Why do they fall in love
Why does my heart skip with a crazy beat
'Fore I know it will face defeat
Tell me why why
Why do they fall in love
Why do fools fall in love
Why do birds sing so gay
Love is awake at the break of day
Why do they fall in love
Why does the rain fall from up above
Why do fools fall in love
Why do they fall in love
Tell me why why
Why do they fall in love
Tell me why why
Why do they fall in love

Pom Pom Play Girl
(B. Wilson/Love)
Rah rah pom pom play girl
Pom pom play girl
You see her in a short skirt down on the grass
She's wondering if the team's going to run kick or
pass
Since she doesn't really know why she's waving
her hands
She's thinking about the boy sitting up in the
stands
Rah rah pom pom play girl
Pom pom play girl
Just a little social clique with the other song
queens
With a freshman or a sophomore she wouldn't be
seen
She's a doll and she knows it and she thinks that
her face
Will get her anybody anything and any place
Rah rah pom pom play girl
Pom pom play girl
Since she's the head cheerleader she dates the
quarterback
And her best friend's going out with the full back
She might even run for an office this Spring
And that ought to really make her telephone ring
Rah rah pom pom play girl
Pom pom play girl
Keep an Eye on Summer
(B. Wilson/Norberg/Love)
Keep an eye on Summer this year

Your words I still can hear
Keep an eye on Summer this year
Those things I say in my letters
You'll find them most sincere
Keep an eye on Summer this year
Soon we'll be graduating
And we'll be so far apart
And though you could be dating
I'm waiting and waiting
And as we look at the future
Though it be through a tear
Keep an eye on Summer this
This year
keep an eye
This year
keep an eye
This year
keep an eye

All Summer Long
(B. Wilson/Love)
Sittin' in my car outside your house
'Member when you spilled coke all over you
blouse
T-shirts, cut-offs, and a pair of thongs
We've been having fun all summer long
I can't see enough of you
Won't be long til summer time is through
Not for us now
Miniature golf and Hondas in the hills
When we rode the horse we got some thrills
Every now and then we hear our song
We've been having fun all summer long
Won't be long til summer time is through
Not for us now
Every now and then we hear our song
We've been having fun all summer long
We've been having fun all summer long
We've been having fun all summer long
We've been having fun all summer long

Hushabye
(Pomus/Shuman)
Hush hush
Hushabye
Hushabye
Hushabye
Oh my darlin' don't you cry
Guardian angels up above
Take care of the one I love
Hush hush
Hushabye
Lullabye and goodnight
In your dreams I hold you tight
Lullabye and goodnight
Til the dawn's early light
Pillows lying on your bed
Oh my darling rest your head
Sandman will be coming soon
Singing you a slumber tune
Hush
Hush
Hushabye
Little Honda
(B. Wilson/Love)
Go!
I'm going to wake you up early
Cause I'm going to take a ride with you
We're going down to the Honda shop
I'll tell you what we're going to do
Put on a ragged sweatshirt
I'll take you anywhere you want me to
First gear it's alright
Second gear I lean right
Third gear hang on tight
Faster it's alright
It's not a big motorcycle
Just a groovy little motorbike
It's more fun that a barrel of monkeys
That two wheel bike
We'll ride on out of the town
To any place I know you like
First gear it's alright
Second gear I lean right
Third gear hang on tight
Faster it's alright
It climbs the hills like a matchless
Cause my Honda's built really light
When I go into the turns
Lean with me and hang on tight
I better turn on the lights
So we can ride my Honda tonight
First gear it's alright
Second gear I lean right
Third gear hang on tight
Faster it's alright
First gear it's alright
Second gear I lean right
Third gear hang on tight
Faster it's alright

We’ll Run Away
(B. Wilson/Usher)
We know they're right when they say we're not
ready
But all we care is how we feel right now
We'll go ahead just the same
Prepare to take the blame
We'll run away and get married anyhow
They warned us that we can't live on love forever
But we just tell them we'll get by somehow
Our problems will be greater
We'll worry 'bout them later
We'll run away and get married anyhow
If other kids went through it
Then I know we can do it
If our love is that much stronger
It will last that much longer
It wasn't too long ago when our folks were
Were going through the same thing we are now
But one thing they're forgetting
A thing they're not regretting
They ran away and got married anyhow
Anyhow
They ran away and got married anyhow
Wendy
(B. Wilson/Love)
Wendy, Wendy what went wrong
Oh so wrong
We went together for so long
I never thought a guy could cry
'Til you made it with another guy
Oh Wendy, Wendy left me alone
Hurt so bad
Wendy, Wendy don't lose your head
Lose your head
Wendy don't believe a word he says
I can't picture you with him
His future looks awful dim
Oh Wendy, Wendy left me alone
Hurt so bad
Wendy I wouldn't hurt you like that
No no no
I thought we had our love down pat
Guess I was wrong
The farthest thing from my mind
Was the day that I'd wake up to find
My Wendy
Wendy left me alone
Wendy, Wendy left me alone
Hurts so bad
Wendy, Wendy left me alone
Hurts so bad
Wendy, Wendy left me alone
Hurts so bad
Wendy, Wendy.

Do You Remember?
(B. Wilson/Love)
Little Richard sang it and Dick Clark brought it to
life
Danny and the Juniors hit a groove, stuck as sharp
as a knife
Well now do you remember all the guys that gave
us rock and roll
Chuck Berry's got to be the greatest thing that’s
come along
He made the guitar beats and wrote the all-time
greatest song
Well now do you remember all the guys that gave
us rock and roll
Elvis Presley is the king
He's the giant of the day
Paved the way for the rock and roll stars
Yeah the critics kept a knocking
But the stars kept a rocking
And the chopping didn't get very far
Goodness gracious great balls of fire!
Nothing’s really moving till the saxophone's ready
to blow
And the beat's not jumping till the drummer says
he's ready to go
Well now do you remember all the guys that gave
us rock and roll
Let's hear the high voice wail
And hear the voice down low
Let's hear the background
They gave us rock and roll
They gave us rock and roll
They gave us rock and roll
Girls on the Beach
(B. Wilson)
The girls on the beach
On the beach you'll find them there
In the sun and salty air
The girls on the beach
Are all within reach
If you know what to do
How we love to lie around
Girls with tans of golden brown
The girls on the beach
Are all within reach
And one waits there for you
The sun in her hair
The warmth of the air
On a summer day
As the sun dips out of sight
Couples on the beach at night
The girls on the beach
Are all within reach
And with the boys tonight
Girls on the beach, girls on the beach
Girls on the beach, girls on the beach
181
Drive-In
(B. Wilson/Love)
Every time I have a date there's only one place to
go
That's to the drive in
It's such a groovy place to talk and maybe watch a
show
Down at the drive in
Forget about the plot, it'll do very well
But make sure you see enough so you're prepared
to tell
About the drive in
I love the drive in
If the windows get fogged you'll have to take a
breath
Down at the drive in
Or the cat dressed in white will scare you both to
death
Down at the drive in
A big buttered popcorn and an extra-large coke
A few chilli dogs and man I'm going broke
Down at the drive in
Yeah at the drive in
Don't sneak your buddies in the trunk 'cause they
might get caught
By the drive in
And they'd look kind of stupid getting chased
through the lot
Around the drive in
If you say you watch the movie you're a couple o'
liars
And "Remember only you can prevent forest fires"
Down at the drive in
I love the drive in
Down at the drive in
I love the drive in
Don’t Back Down
(B. Wilson/Love)
The girls dig the way the guys get all wiped out
With their feet in the air you can hear them shout
They're not afraid
Not my boys
They grit their teeth, they don't back down
Don't back down
You got to be a little nuts
Don't back down
But show them now who's got guts
Don't back down
Don't back down from that wave
With their feet full of tar and their hair full of sand
The boys know the beach like the palm of their
hand
They're not afraid
Not my boys
They grit their teeth, they don't back down
Don't back down
You got to be a little nuts
Don't back down
But show them now who's got guts
Don't back down
Don't back down from that wave
When a twenty-footer sneaks up like a ton of lead
And the crest comes along and slaps them upside
the head
They're not afraid
Not my boys
They grit their teeth, they don't back down
Don't back down
You got to be a little nuts
Don't back down
But show them now who's got guts
Don't back down
Don't back down from that wave
182
Today! (1965)

Good to My Baby
(B. Wilson/Love)
They think I'm bad and I treat her so mean
But all they know is from what they've seen
And when I get her alone now
You know we're happy as a couple could be
And when I give her my love it's between her and
me
She's my girl and I'm good to my baby
She's my girl and I'm good to my baby
And I know she's happy with me
Some guys may think they'd be better for her
But she knows just what she wants for sure
And when we're out with our friends now
You know that we never have to put on a show
And we stay together while other couples come
and go
She's my girl and I'm good to my baby
She's my girl and I'm good to my baby
And I know she's happy with me
She's my girl and I'm good to my baby
She's my girl and I'm good to my baby
She's my girl and I'm good to my baby
She's my girl and I'm good to my baby
183
Don’t Hurt My Little Sister
(B. Wilson/Love)
There she goes she ran in her room
She'll probably stay in there the rest of the day
It sounds like it must have been something you
said
You know she's awful used to getting her way
Why don't you kiss her
And while you kiss her
Why don't you treat her
Treat her nice
Don't hurt my little sister
Don't hurt my little sister
Don't hurt my little sister
You know she digs you and thinks you're a real
groovy guy
But yet I'm not sure that I feel the same
We both know that you've been making her cry
I hope you don't think it's some kind of game
Why don't you love her
Like her big brother
Why don't you tell her
Tell her you're sorry
Don't hurt my little sister
Don't hurt my little sister
Don't hurt my little sister
When I Grow Up (to be a man)
(B. Wilson/Love)
When I grow up to be a man
Will I dig the same things that turn me on as a kid?
Will I look back and say that I wish I hadn't done
what I did?
Will I joke around and still dig those sounds
When I grow up to be a man?
Will I look for the same things in a woman that I
dig in a girl?
Will I settle down fast or will I first want to travel
the world?
Now I'm young and free, but how will it be
When I grow up to be a man?
Will my kids be proud or think their old man is
really a square?
When they're out having fun yeah, will I still want
to have my share?
Will I love my wife for the rest of my life
When I grow up to be a man?
What will I be when I grow up to be a man?
Won't last forever
It's kind of sad
Won't last forever
It's kind of sad
Won't last forever
184

(B. Wilson/Love)
Well since she put me down I 've been out doing in

(B. Wilson/C. Wilson/Love)
After six hours of school I've had enough for the
day
I hit the radio dial and turn it up all the way
I gotta dance right on the spot
The beat's really hot
Dance dance dance yeah!
When I feel put down I try to shake it off quick
With my chick by my side the radio does the trick
I gotta dance right on the spot
The beat's really hot
Dance dance dance yeah!
At a weekend dance we like to show up last
I play it cool when it's slow and jump it when it's
fast
I gotta dance right on the spot
The beat's really hot
Dance dance dance yeah!
185
Please Let Me Wonder
(B. Wilson/Love)
Now here we are together
This would've been worth waiting forever
I always knew it'd feel this way
And please forgive my shaking
Can't you tell my heart is breaking?
Can't make myself say what I planned to say
Baby
Please let me wonder
If I've been the one you love
Please let me wonder
If I'm who you're dreaming of
Please let me wonder, love
I built all my goals around you
That someday my love would surround you
You'll never know what we've been through
For so long I thought about it
And now I just can't live without it
This beautiful image I have of you
Baby
Please let me wonder
If I've been the one you love
Please let me wonder
If I'm who you're dreaming of
Please let me wonder, love
Please let me wonder
If I've been the one you love
Please let me wonder
If I'm who you're dreaming of
Please let me wonder, love
I love you
I’m So Young
(Tyrus)
I have a girlfriend
She says I'm her only one
We want to get married
But we're so young
So young
Can't marry no one
They say our love is
Just a teenage affection
But no one knows
Our hearts' direction
So young
Can't marry no one
I'm I'm I'm so young
I'm I'm I'm so young
I'm I'm I'm so young
Can't marry no one, no one
Pretty soon now
I'll go to sea
Their mother's baby
Will have seen the last of me
So young
Can't marry no one, no one
Can't marry no one
Can't marry no one
Can't marry no one
186
Kiss Me Baby
(B. Wilson/Love)
Please don't let me argue anymore
I won't make you worry like before
Can't remember what we fought about
Late late last night we said it was over
But I remember when we thought it out
We both had a broken heart
Kiss me Baby
Love to hold you
Kiss me baby
Love to hold you
As I drove away I felt a tear
It hit me I was losing someone dear
Told my folks I would be alright
Tossed and I turned, my head was so heavy
Then I wondered as it got light
Were you still awake like me?
Kiss me Baby
Love to hold you
Kiss me baby
Love to hold you
Tight
Kiss me Baby
Love to hold you
Kiss me baby
Love to hold you
Kiss me Baby
Love to hold you
Kiss me baby
Love to hold you
She Knows Me Too Well
(B. Wilson/Love)
She knows me
She knows me
Sometimes I have a weird way of showing my love
And I always expect her to know what I'm
thinking of
She knows me
I treat her so mean I don't deserve what I have
And I think that she'll forgive just by making her
laugh
But she knows me
She knows me too well
Knows me so well
That she can tell
I really love her
She knows me too well
I get so jealous of the other guy
And then I'm not happy til I make her break down
and cry
When I look at other girls it must kill her inside
But it'd be another story if she looked at the guys
But she knows me
She knows me too well
Knows me so well
That she can tell
I really love her
She knows me too well
She knows me
She knows me
When I look at other girls it must kill her inside
But it'd be another story if she looked at the guys
Cause she knows me
Knows me so well
That she can tell
I really love her
She knows me too well
187
In The Back of My Mind
(B. Wilson/Love)
I'm blessed with everything
A world to which a man can cling
So happy times when I break out in tears
In the back of my mind I still have my fears
I live my life with her
Love her true she knows I'm sure
I make her happy just living so plain
In the back of my mind I'm afraid it's going to
change
I tried to run far away from thoughts
I should try to keep away
But they just keep coming back to me
I tried to rationalize
But someday I might realize
That things are just good the way they'll be
I know it's so hard to find
A girl who really understands your mind
What will I do if I leave her
It will always be way in the back of my mind
188
Summer Days (and Summer
Nights!!) (1965)
The Girl From New York City
(B. Wilson/Love)
She came out with her best friend for the summer
in L. A.
They took a small apartment down on the beach
And you'll find them there every day
And I said
California guys all can't peel their eyes
From that girl from New York City
And L. A. boys all heard the noise
About that girl from New York City
We'll turn them on with all the things that will be
happening night and day
We'll show them such a groovy time that they'll
both be deciding to stay
And let me say
California guys all can't peel their eyes
From that girl from New York City
And L. A. boys all heard the noise
About that girl from New York City
California guys all can't peel their eyes
From that girl from New York City
And L. A. boys all heard the noise
About that girl from New York City
California guys all can't peel their eyes
From that girl from New York City
And L. A. boys all heard the noise
About that girl from New York City
Amusement Parks USA
(B. Wilson/ Love)
Let's take your car and to amusement parks USA
At Palisades in Salisbury Parks the rolly coasters
are flying
At Euclid Beach on the flying turns I'll bet you
can't keep from smiling
Buy your girl a cotton candy while you're down on
the ground
Then take her on the twirl-a-way and spin her
around
Let's take your car and mess around at the park all
day
The parachutes at Riverview Park will shake us up
all day
And Disneyland and P.O.P. is worth a trip to L.A.
Watching girls in the air can really get you bad
And I'll bet the laughing lady makes you laugh like
mad
Let's pick up our friends and do amusement parks
USA
You'll crash and burn in the bumper cars at
Jersey's steel pier
You'll crack them up when you stand in front of all
the crazy mirrors
At first you'll be a chicken at the jackhammer ride
But you'll do it with a girl sitting right by your side
Let's take your car and mess around at the park all
day
189
Then I Kissed Her
(Spector/Greenwich/Barry)
Well I walked up to her and I asked her if she
wanted to dance
She looked awful nice and so I hoped she might
take a chance
When we danced I held her tight
Then I walked her home that night
And all the stars were shining bright
And then I kissed her
Each time I saw her I couldn't wait to see her again
I wanted to let her know that I was more than a
friend
I didn't know just what to do
And so I whispered I love you
And she said that she loved me too
And then I kissed her
I kissed her in a way that I'd never kissed a girl
before
I kissed her in a way that I hope she liked for
evermore
I knew that she was mine so I gave her all the love
that I had
Then one day she'll take me home to meet her
mom and her dad
Then I asked her to be my bride
And always be right by my side
I felt so happy that I almost cried
And then I kissed her
And then I kissed her
And then I kissed her
Salt Lake City
(B. Wilson/Love)

Girl Don’t Tell Me
(B. Wilson)
Hi little girl, it's me
Don't you know who I am?
I met you last summer when
When I came up to stay with my grand
I'm the guy who
Left you with tears in his eyes
You didn't answer my letters
So I figured it was just lie
Your hair's getting longer and your shorts
Mmm they sure fit you fine
I'll bet you went out
Every night during ol' school time
But this time I'm not going to count on you
I'll see you this summer
And forget you when I go back to school

California Girls
(B. Wilson/Love)
Well East coast girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And the Southern girls with the way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there
The Midwest farmer's daughters
Really make you feel alright
And the Northern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California girls
The West coast has the sunshine
And the girls all get so tanned
I dig a French bikini on Hawaii island dolls
By a palm tree in the sand

Let Him Run Wild
(B. Wilson/Love)
When I watched you walk with him
Tears filled my eyes
And when I heard you talk with him
I couldn't stand his lies
And now before he tries it
I hope you realize it
Let him run wild
He don't care
Let him run wild
He'll find out
Let him run wild
He don't care
(Guess you know I waited for you)
He'll do the same to other girls
That he did to you
But then one day he'll run in to one
That's gonna hurt him too
Before he makes you over
I'm gonna take you over
Let him run wild
He don't care
Let him run wild
He'll find out
Let him run wild
He don't care
(Guess you know I waited for you girl)
All the dreams you shared with him
You might as well forget
I know you need a truer love
And that's what you'll get
And now that you don't need him
Well he can have his freedom
Let him run wild
He don't care
Let him run wild
He'll find out
Let him run wild
He don't care
Let him run wild
He'll find out

You’re So Good to Me
(B. Wilson/Love)
You're kind of small
And you're such a doll
I'm glad you're mine
You're so good to me
How come you are
You take my hand
And you understand
When I get in a bad mood
You're so good to me
And I love it, love it
You're my baby
Oh yeah
Don't mean maybe
Oh yeah
I know your eyes
Are not on the guys
When we're apart
You're so true to me
How come you are
And every night
You hold me so tight
When I kiss you goodbye
You're so good to me
And I love it, love it
You're my baby
Oh yeah
Don't mean maybe
Oh yeah
You're my baby

I’m Bugged at My Old Man
(B. Wilson)
I'm bugged at my ol' man
Cause he's making me stay in my room
I came in a little late
And my ol' man he just blew his mind
Why did he sell my surfboard?
He cut off my hair last night in my sleep
I wish I could see outside
But he tacked up boards on my window
I can't hit the surf, can't drag
Can't do a dog-goned thing
I tried to call up my chick
But he jerked my phone right out of the wall
They gave me some breadcrumbs
And a little glass of water
And they're out there eating steak
I ripped up my wardrobe
And I'm growing a beard
Oh when will they let me come out
I'd listen to my radio
But he took it and he's using it in his own room
I wish I could do some homework
But I got suspended from school
I'm bugged at my ol' man
And he doesn't even know where it's at
193
And Your Dream Comes True
(B. Wilson/Love)
You're so sleepy
Wish that he could stay
Love him so
But now it's getting late
He'll be waiting
Waiting just for you
One more summer
And your dream comes true
194
Pet Sounds (1966)
Wouldn’t It Be Nice
(B. Wilson/Asher/Love)
Wouldn't it be nice if we were older
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong
You know it’s going to make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together
Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through
Happy times together we've been spending
I wish that every kiss was never ending
Wouldn't it be nice
Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it
might come true
Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing we
couldn't do
We could be married
And then we'd be happy
Wouldn't it be nice
You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But let’s talk about it
Wouldn't it be nice
Good night my baby
Sleep tight my baby
You Still Believe in Me
(B. Wilson/Asher)
I know perfectly well
I'm not where I should be
I've been very aware
You've been patient with me
Every time we break up
You bring back your love to me
And after all I've done to you
How can it be
You still believe in me
I try hard to be more
What you want me to be
But I can't help how I act
When you're not here with me
I try hard to be strong
But sometimes I fail myself
And after all I've promised you
So faithfully
You still believe in me
I wanna cry
195
That’s Not Me
(B. Wilson/Asher)
I had to prove that I could make it alone
But that's not me
I wanted to show how independent I'd grown now
But that's not me
I could try to be big in the eyes of the world
What matters to me is what I could be to just one
girl
I'm a little bit scared
Cause I haven't been home in a long time
You needed my love
And I know that I left at the wrong time
My folks when I wrote them
Told them what I was up to said that's not me
I went through all kinds of changes
Took a look at myself and said that's not me
I miss my pad and the places I've known
And every night as I lay there alone I will dream
I once had a dream
So I packed up and split for the city
I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so
pretty
I'm glad I went now I'm that much more sure that
we're ready
I once had a dream
So I packed up and split for the city
I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so
pretty
I once had a dream
So I packed up and split for the city
I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so
pretty
Don’t Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder)
(B. Wilson/Asher)
I can hear so much in your sighs
And I can see so much in your eyes
There are words we both could say
But don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
Come close, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, take my hand and let me hear your
heart beat
Being here with you feels so right
We could live forever tonight
Lets not think about tomorrow
And don't talk put your head on my shoulder
Come close, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, take my hand and listen to my heart
beat
Listen, listen, listen.
Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
Don't talk, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
Don't talk, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
196
I’m Waiting For the Day
(B. Wilson/Love)
I came along when he broke your heart
That's when you needed someone
To help forget about him
I gave you love with a brand new start
That's what you needed the most
To set your broken heart free
I know you cried, and you felt blue
But when I could I gave strength to you
I'm waiting for the day when you can love again
I kissed your lips
And when your face looked sad
It made me think about him
And that you still loved him so
But you know that pretty soon
I made you feel glad
That you belonged to me
And love began to show
He hurt you then, but that's all gone
I guess I'm saying you're the only one
I'm waiting for the day when you can love again
He hurt you then, but that's all done
I guess I'm saying you're the only one
I'm waiting for the day when you can love again
You didn't think that I could sit around and let him
work
You didn't think that I could sit around and watch
him take you
You didn't think that I could sit around and let him
go
You didn't think that I could sit back and let you go
You didn't think .
Sloop John B
(Trad. Arr. B. Wilson)
We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam
Drinking all night
Got into a fight
Well I feel so broke up
I want to go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I want to go home, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up
I want to go home
The first mate he got drunk
And broke in the Captain’s trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up I want to go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I want to go home, let me go home
Why don't you let me go home
Hoist up the John B
I feel so broke up I want go home
Let me go home
The poor cook he caught the fits
And threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate up all of my corn
Let me go home
Why don't they let me go home
This is the worst trip I've ever been on
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I want to go home, let me go home
Why don't you let me go home
197
God Only Knows
(B. Wilson/Asher)
I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you
If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
If you should ever leave me
Well life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows
I Know There’s an Answer
(B. Wilson/Asher)/Sachen/Love)
I know so many people who think they can do it
alone
They isolate their heads and stay in their safety
zones
Now what can you tell them
And what can you say that won't make them
defensive
I know there's an answer
I know now but I have to find it by myself
They come on like they're peaceful
But inside they're so uptight
They trip through their day
And waste all their thoughts at night
Now how can I come on
And tell them the way that they live could be
better
I know there's an answer
I know now but I have to find it by myself
Now how can I come on
And tell them the way that they live could be
better
I know there's an answer
I know now but I have to find it by myself
198
Here Today
(B. Wilson/Asher)
It starts with just a little glance now
Right away you're thinking about romance now
You know you ought to take it slower
But you just can't wait to get to know her
A brand new love affair is such a beautiful thing
But if you're not careful think about the pain it can
bring
It makes you feel so bad
It makes your heart feel sad
It makes your days go wrong
It makes your nights so long
You've got to keep in mind love is here today
And it's gone tomorrow
It's here and gone so fast
Right now you think that she's perfection
This time is really an exception
Well you know I hate to be a downer
But I'm the guy she left before you found her
Well I'm not saying you won't have a good love
with her
But I keep on remembering things like they were
She made me feel so bad
She made my heart feel sad
She made my days go wrong
And made my nights so long
You've got to keep in mind love is here today
And it's gone tomorrow
It's here and gone so fast
Keep in mind love is here today
And it's gone tomorrow
It's here and gone so fast
Love is here today
And it's gone tomorrow
It's here and gone so fast
I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times
(B. Wilson/Asher)
I keep looking for a place to fit
Where I can speak my mind
I've been trying hard to find the people
That I won't leave behind
They say I got brains
But they ain't doing me no good
I wish they could
Each time things start to happen again
I think I got something good going for myself
But what goes wrong
Sometimes I feel very sad
Sometimes I feel very sad
(Can't find nothing I can put my heart and soul
into)
Sometimes I feel very sad
(Can't find nothing I can put my heart and soul
into)
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
Every time I get the inspiration
To go change things around
No one wants to help me look for places
Where new things might be found
Where can I turn when my fair weather friends
cop out
What's it all about
Each time things start to happen again
I think I got something good going for myself
But what goes wrong
Sometimes I feel very sad
Sometimes I feel very sad
(Can't find nothing I can put my heart and soul
into)
Sometimes I feel very sad
(Can't find nothing I can put my heart and soul
into)
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
199
Caroline No
(B. Wilson/Asher)
Where did your long hair go?
Where is the girl I used to know?
How could you lose that happy glow?
Oh, Caroline no
Who took that look away?
I remember how you used to say
You'd never change, but that's not true
Oh, Caroline you
Break my heart
I want to go and cry
It's so sad to watch a sweet thing die
Oh, Caroline why
Could I ever find in you again
The things that made me love you so much then?
Could we ever bring them back once they have
gone?
Oh, Caroline no
