All I Have to Do Is Dream

Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream

When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I'm dreamin' my life away

I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I'm dreamin' my life away

I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream

Bird Dog

Johnny is a joker [he's a bird)]
A very funny joker [he's a bird]
But when he jokes my honey [he's a dog]
His jokin' ain't so funny [what a dog]
Johnny is a joker that's a'tryin' to steal my honey [he's a bird dog]

Johnny sings a love song [like a bird]
He sings the sweetest love song [ya ever heard]
But when he sings to my gal [what a howl]
To me he's just a wolf dog [on the prowl]
Johnny wants to fly away and puppy-love my baby [he's a bird dog]

Hey, bird dog get away from my quail
Hey, bird dog you're on the wrong trail
Bird dog you better leave my lovey-dove alone
Hey, bird dog get away from my chick
Hey, bird dog you better get away quick
Bird dog you better find a chicken little of your own

Johnny kissed the teacher [he's a bird]
He tiptoed up to reach her [he's a bird]
Well he's the teacher's pet now [he's a dog]
What he wants he's been gettin' now [what a dog]
He even made the teacher let him sit next to my baby [he's a bird dog]

Hey, bird dog get away from my quail
Hey, bird dog you're on the wrong trail
Bird dog you better leave my lovey-dove alone
Hey, bird dog get away from my chick
Hey, bird dog you better get away quick
Bird dog you better find a chicken little of your own

Let It Be Me

I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you, let it be me

Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever, let it be me

Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love what would life be

So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me

Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love what would life be

So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always---let--it-be--me

Lucille

Lucille, you don't do your daddy's will
Lucille, you don't do your daddy's will
well there's nothin to ya, but I love you still

Lucille, please come back where you belong
Lucille, please come back where you belong
I'm beggin to you baby, please don't leave me alone

I woke up this mornin, Lucille was not in sight
I asked my friends about her, but all their lips were tight.

Lucille, please come back where you belong
I'm beggin to you baby, please don't leave me alone
OHHHHHHH

lucille, you don't do your daddy's will
Lucille, you don't do your daddy's will
Well, there's nothin to ya, but I love you still

Ebony Eyes

On a weekend pass I wouldn't have had time
To get home and marry that baby of mine
So I went to the chaplain and he authorized
Me to send for my ebony eyes

My ebony eyes was coming to me
From out of the skies on Flight 1203
In an hour or two I would whisper "I do"
To my beautiful ebony eyes

SPOKEN
The plane was way overdue so I went inside to the airlines desk and I said "Sir, I
wonder why 1203 is so late?" He said "Aww, they probably took off late or they
may have run into some turbulent weather and had to alter their course." I went
back outside and I waited at the gate and I watched the beacon light from the
control tower as it whipped through the dark ebony skies as if it were searching for
(my ebony eyes.) And then came the announcement over the loudspeaker-
"Would those having relatives or friends on flight number 1203 please report to the
chapel across the street at once."

Then I felt a burning break deep inside
And I knew the heavenly ebony skies
Had taken my life's most wonderful prize
My beautiful ebony eyes

If I ever get to heaven I'll bet
The first angel I'll recognize
She'll smile at me and I know she will be
My beautiful ebony eyes

Roving Gambler

I am a roving gambler, I've gambled down in town
Whenever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down.
Lay my money down, lay my money down

I had not been in Washington not many more weeks than three
When I fell in love with a pretty little gal, she fell in love with me.
Fell in love with me, fell in love with me

She took me in her parlor, she cooled me with her fan
She whispered low in her mother's ear, "I love that gambling man.''
Love that gamblin' man, love that gamblin' man

"Daughter, oh dear daughter, how can you treat me so?
To leave your dear old mother, and with a gambler go?''
With a gambler go, with a gambler go

I've gambled down in Washington; I've gambled over in Spain
I'm goin' down to Georgia to gamble my last game.
Gamble my last game, gamble my last game

"Oh mother, oh dear mother, you know I love you well
But the love I have for this gambling man, no human tongue can tell.''
No human tongue can tell, no human tongue can tell

"I hear that train a-coming, coming 'round the curve
A-whistling and a-blowing straining every nerve."
Strainin' every nerve, strainin' every nerve

"Mother, oh dear mother, I'll tell you if I can
If you ever see me comin' back, I'll be with the gambling man.
Be with the gambling man.
Be with the gambling man."

I am a roving gambler, I've gambled down in town
Whenever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down.
Lay my money down, lay my money down

Claudette

Oh-oh Claudette
Oh-oh Claudette

I got a brand new baby and I feel so good
She loves me even better than I thought she would
I'm on my way to her house an I'm plumb outa breath
A-when I see her tonight I'm gonna squeeze her to death

chorus
Claudette, pretty little pet Claudette
Never make me fret Claudette
She's the greatest little girl that I've ever met
I get the best lovin that I'll ever get
From Claudette, pretty little pet Claudette
Oh oh Claudette

Well I'm a lucky man my baby treats me right
She's gonna let me hug and kiss and hold her tight
When the date is over and we're at her front door
When I kiss her good night I'll holler more more more

chorus
Claudette, pretty little pet Claudette
Never make me fret Claudette
She's the greatest little girl that I've ever met
I get the best lovin that I'll ever get
From Claudette, pretty little pet Claudette
Oh oh Claudette

When me an my new baby have a date or three
I'm gonna ask my baby if she'll marry me
I'm gonna be so happy for the rest of my life
When my brand new baby is my brand new wife

Claudette, pretty little pet Claudette
Never make me fret Claudette
She's the greatest little girl that I've ever met
I get the best lovin' that I'll ever get
From Claudette, pretty little pet Claudette
Oh oh Claudette, mmm mmm Claudette

Poor Jenny

I took my little Jenny to a party last night
At ten o'clock it ended in a heckuva fight
When someone hit my Jenny she went out like a light
Poor Jenny

And then some joker went and called the cops on the phone
So everybody scattered out for places unknown
I couldn't carry Jenny so I left her alone
Poor Jenny

Well Jenny had her picture in the paper this mornin'
She made it with a bang
Accordin' to the story in the paper this mornin'
Jenny is the leader of a teenage gang

Jenny has a brother and he's hot on my trail
Her daddy wants to ride me out of town on a rail
I hope I'll be around when Jenny gets out of jail
Poor Jenny

I went downtown to see her, she was locked in a cell
She wasn't very glad to see me, that I could tell
In fact, to tell the truth, she wasn't lookin' too well
Poor Jenny

Her eye was black, her face was red, her hair was a fright
She looked as though she'd been a'cryin' half of the night
I told her I was sorry, she said "Get out of sight"
Poor Jenny

It seems a shame that Jenny had to go get apprehended, a heckuva fate
This party was the first one she ever had attended
It had to happen on our very first date

Jenny has a brother and he's hot on my trail
Her daddy wants to ride me out of town on a rail
I hope I'll be around when Jenny gets out of jail
Poor Jenny

Temptation

You came, I was alone
I should have known
You were temptation
You smiled, luring me on
My heart was gone
And you were temptation

It would be thrilling if you were willing
And, if it can never be, pity me

For you were born to be kissed
I can't resist, you are temptation, I
Am yours, here is my heart
Take it and say that we'll never part
I'm just a slave, only a slave

To you, temptation
I'm your slave!!!

Wake Up Little Susie

Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
We've both been sound asleep, wake up, little Susie, and weep
The movie's over, it's four o'clock, and we're in trouble deep
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, well

Whatta we gonna tell your mama
Whatta we gonna tell your pa
Whatta we gonna tell our friends when they say "ooh-la-la"
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, well

I told your mama that you'd be in by ten
Well Susie baby looks like we goofed again
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, we gotta go home

Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
The movie wasn't so hot, it didn't have much of a plot
We fell asleep, our goose is cooked, our reputation is shot
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, well

Whatta we gonna tell your mama
Whatta we gonna tell your pa
Whatta we gonna tell our friends when they say "ooh-la-la"
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie

Problems

Problems, problems, problems all day long
Will my problems work out right or wrong
My baby don't like anything I do-o-o
My teacher seems to feel the same way too

Worries, worries pile up on my head
Woe is me I should have stayed in bed
Can't get the car my marks ain't been so go-o-ood
My love life just ain't swingin' like it shou-ou-ould

Problems, problems, pro-o-o-o-blems
They're all on account-a my lovin' you like I do-o-o-o-o
Problems, problems, pro-o-o-o-blems
They won't be solved until I'm sure of you-o-ou
You can solve my problems with a love that's tru-u-e

Problems, problems, problems all day long

Long Time Gone

You cheated me and left me lonely
I tried to be your very own
There'll be a day you'll want me only
But when I leave, I'll be a long time gone
Be a long time gone
Be a long time gone
Yes, when I leave, I'll be a long time gone

You're gonna be sad, you're gonna be weepin'
You're gonna be blue and all alone
You'll regret the day you seen me weepin'
Cause when I leave, I'll be a long time gone
Be a long time gone
Be a long time gone
Yes, when I leave, I'll be a long time gone

You'll see my face through tears and sorrow
You'll miss the love you called your own
Baby, there'll be no tomorrow
Cause when I leave, I'll be a long time gone
Be a long time gone
Be a long time gone
Yes, when I leave, I'll be a long time gone
