A Place In The Sun

Like a long lonely stream
I keep runnin' towards a dream
Movin' on, movin' on

Like a branch on a tree
I keep reachin' to be free
Movin' on, movin' on

'Cause there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run

There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Got to find me a place in the sun

Like an old dusty road
I get weary from the load
Movin' on, movin' on

Like this tired troubled earth
I've been rollin' since my birth
Movin' on, movin' on

There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run

There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Got to find me a place in the sun

You know when times are bad
And you're feeling sad
I want you to always remember

Yes, there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run

There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run

There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone...

A Taste Of Honey

Winds may blow over icy sea
I'll take with me the warmth of thee
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter, sweeter than wine.

I will return, I'll return
Oh, I'll come back for the honey and you
Now baby, hey.

I'll leave behind my heart to wear
And may it ever remind you of
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wine.

I will return, I'll return
I'll come back for the honey and you.

He never came back to his love so fair
And so she died dreaming of his kiss
His kiss was honey
A taste much bitter than wine
Oh, baby, baby, baby.

I'll return (come on back)
I'm coming back (come on back)
I'll be back now baby (come on back)
I'll be back, oooh I'll come back for the honey
And you, baby (honey!)
You, baby (honey!), you, baby
I'm coming back now baby (come on back).

All I Know About You

Baby, I know all about you
I heard long ago about you
They say you're mighty fast
You've got a wicked past
Ooo, all I know about you.

You'll never get my heart
Won't be upsetting my heart
I'll never treat you, won't
I'm just too well in bond
Ooo, all I know about you.

And if you think that you
can steal my heart a word
Why don't you try, I dare you to try
If you play you're gonna lose the game
'Cause I will never take my guard away
Come on and try
Though I'm nice I'll be cold as ice
Cause I know all about you.

Baby, I know all about you
There's nothing slow about you
Kiss me and then you'll see
Wonder within of me
Ooo, all I know about you.

Baby, I'm mad about you
I'm so glad about you
One little kiss and wow
I'm a believer now
Ooo, all I know about you, babe.

I'm so wild about you
I feel like a child about you
It felt like this before
I wanna kiss ya more
Ooo, all I know about you, babe.

I know all about you
And I like what I know about you
One little kiss and wow
I'm a believer now
Ooo, all I know about you.

Baby Doll

Oh, baby doll, baby doll
He's my baby doll
He's good to me
So true to me
He's all right for me

You know I'm gonna love him forever
And give my life to him completely
I belong to my baby doll
He's my baby doll

He's so sweet
So handsome all the girls they envy me
Talking about my baby doll
When they see me holding his arm
Walking down the street

You should see me hold my head up high
It's a feeling I can't explain
Just proud to be walking with my baby doll

He's sugar to my taste
He's got sweet kisses
And a warm embrace
He's my baby doll, ooh baby doll

Please say he'll always be mine
From this day please tell me you'll love me
'Till the end of time

You know I'm gonna love him forever
And give my life to him completely
I belong to my baby doll

He's my baby doll, yeah
He's so right for me, yeah
The girls, they envy me, yeah
Ooh, baby doll

Bewitched

I'm wild again, beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I

I couldn't sleep, and wouldn't sleep
When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I

Lost my heart, but what of it?
He is cold, I agree
He can laugh, but what of it?
Although the laugh's on me

I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And long for the days when I'll cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I

Can I Get A Witness

Listen everybody, especially you guys
Is it right to be left alone
While the one you love is never home?
I love too hard, my friends sometimes say
But I believe, I believe
A man should loved that way
But it hurts me so inside
To see him treat me so unkind
Somebody, somewhere tell him it's unfair

Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Somebody
I want a witness

Is it right to be treated so bad
When you've given everything you had?
Even tossin' in my sleep
'Cause I haven't seen my baby all week
Now, you girls do agree
That this ain't the way love's supposed to be
Let me hear, let me hear you say yeah, yeah

Up early in the morning with him on my mind
Just to find out all night that I've been cryin'
But I believe a man's a woman's best friend
So I'm gonna stick by him till the very end
But he causes so much misery I forget how
Love is supposed to be
Somebody, somewhere, tell him it ain't fair

Can I get a witness?
I want a witness

Everybody knows, especially you girls
Love can be bad
But I have a love that's twice as bad
Now you girls do agree
That this ain't the way love's supposed to be
Let me hear, let me hear you say yeah, yeah

Can I get a witness

Buttered Popcorn

My baby likes buttered popcorn
He likes it greasy
And sticky
And gooey
And salty
I said what do you like
He says you know what I like
I like buttered popcorn

He took me to a show
He said he wanted some more
I said kiss me please
He said after I eat

I said what do you like
He says you know what I like
I like buttered popcorn

For breakfast, lunch and a dinner too
He eats buttered popcorn
Well it worries me so
I don't know what to do
When I asked him what was happenin' in the world today
He said more butter, more butter, more butter, more

My baby likes buttered popcorn
He likes it greasy
And sticky
And gooey
And salty
I said what do you like
He says you know what I like
I like buttered popcorn

For breakfast, lunch and a dinner too
He eats buttered popcorn
Well it worries me so
I don't know what to do
When I asked him
What was happenin' in the world today
He said more butter, more butter, more butter, more

My baby likes buttered popcorn
He likes it greasy
And sticky
And gooey
And salty
I said what do you like
He says you know what I like
I like buttered popcorn

Cornet Man

Wah-wah-wah?
Is that all you can say?

The lady ain't been born
Can take the place of a horn
With the cornet man
A goin’ where there’s blowin’
Trav’lin’ cornet man.

Just anytime they call him
He leaves his wife and kiddies
Sittin’ with their tongues out
To play for peanuts in some dive
And blow his lungs out.

He'll hop a choo-choo
On a moment’s notice
To play some dates
With Billy Bates or Ragtime Otis.

The lady ain't see the light
Can give a home a fair fight
With a cornet man
A rootin’, shootin’
Ever-tootin’ Dapper Dan
Who carries in his satchel
A powder-blue Norfolk suit
A silver plated wah-wah mute.

There is drinkin’ and gamblin’, each one a curse
But I'm up against a devil that's worse
Yeah, a horn’s my thorn
He's a trav’lin’ cornet man.

(He's gotta go out on the road
He's got some dates with Billy Bates
He gave his notice to Ragtime Otis
He's gotta go, back on the road.)

The lady ain't see the light
Can give a horn a fair fight
With that cornet man
A rootin’, shootin’
Ever-tootin’ Dapper Dan
Who carries in his satchel
A powder-blue Norfolk suit
Silver plated wah-wah mute.

There is drinkin’, gamblin’, each one a curse
But I'm up against a devil that's worse
Yeah, a horn’s my thorn
He's a trav’lin’ cornet man.
Say it again!

A powder-blue Norfolk suit
Silver plated wah-wah mute
Shy on height, he's short on weight
But he's the only guy
Can make my coffee percolate
Dapper Dan, my cornet player man.

Back In My Arms Again

All day long I hear my telephone ring
Friends calling giving their advice
From the boy I love
I should break away
'Cause heartaches he'll bring one day

I lost him once through friends advice
But it's not gonna happen twice
'Cause all advice ever's gotten me
Was many long and sleepless nights

Ooh! But now
He's back in my arms again
Right by my side
I got him back in my arms again
So satisfied

It's easy for friends to say
Let him go
But I'm the one
Who needs him so
It's his love that makes me strong
Without him I can't go on
This time I'll live my life at ease
Being happy lovin' whom I please
And each time we make romance
I'll be thankfull for a second chance

Ooh! Cause
He's back in my arms again
Right by my side
I got him back in my arms again
So satisfied

How can Mary tell me what to do
When she lost her love so true?
And Flo, she don't know
'Cause the boy she loves is a Romeo
I listened once to my friends advice
But it's not gonna happen twice
'Cause all advice ever's gotten me
Was many long and sleepless nights

Ooh! I got him
Back in my arms again
Right by my side
I got him back in my arms again
So satisfied

Ooh! I'm satisfied yeah
So satisfied

Touch

Darling, just relax
You melt me like hot candle wax
One touch and my whole body melts
Yet you say, you say you can't express yourself

Ohhhhhhhh
Just keep doin' what you're doin'
Fancy words would only ruin it
Touch, that very special touch
If I satisfy you, ooh, baby
How you satisfy me

(Oh, baby!)
Don't worry, don't worry about cries
These are tears of love in my eyes
I feel this love flowin' through
Like a river, boy, straight through me to you

Oh, your touch says more than words
In any language ever heard (oh, baby)
Touch, oh, honey (that very special touch)
I need your touch
Every brand new day (every day)
I wake up wanting you the same way
Hey hey hey!
(Ooh!) (Oh, baby!)

(Touch)
Your touch says more than words (oh!)
In any language ever heard
Keep on doin' what you're doin' (ooh!)
Fancy words would only ruin it

Touch (ooh!), groove me with your touch, hey!
Touch, you move me with your touch

(Touch, talk to me, talk to me, touch)
Groove me, groove me, groove me, groove me,
Groove me, groove me, groove me,
Groove me with your touch
Touch me, touch me, your touch express so much

(Somebody touch)
Just keep doin' what you're doin'
Fancy words would only ruin it
(Touch me, touch me, touch)

Stop! In The Name Of Love

Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart

Baby, baby
I'm aware of where you go
Each time you leave my door
I watch you walk down the street
Knowing your other love you'll meet
But this time before you run to her
Leaving me alone and hurt
(Think it over) After I've been good to you ?
(Think it over) After I've been sweet to you ?

Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over

I've known of your
Your secluded nights
I've even seen her
Maybe once or twice
But is her sweet expression
Worth more than my love and affection ?
But this time before you leave my arms
And rush off to her charms
(Think it over) Haven't I been good to you ?
(Think it over) Haven't I been sweet to you ?

Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over

I've tried so hard, hard to be patient
Hoping you'd stop this infatuation
But each time you are together
I'm so afraid I'll be losing you forever

Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart

Baby, think it over
Think it over, baby
Ooh, think it over baby...

Sweet Thing

Sweet thing, you make my heart sing
You turn darkness into light
You make everything alright
Sweet thing, you make the bells ring
Ding dong, and sweet and true
Attaching me to you.

(Sweeter than the taste of sugar cane)
No sugar cane could be
As sweet as you are to me
(Sweeter than whatever you can name)
Like candy, cake or honey
Wouldn' give you up for love or money.

Sweet thing, you are my everything
You're all I need and more
Than my heart a-bargained for
Sweet thing, you are what's happening
You're just a bundle of love
Happiness and love.

Sweeter than the taste of honey dew
A honey-dew male is sweet, it's true
But it just ain't quite as sweet as you
Sweeping is the way to measure you
I look at the scale and it's a shame
I have more sweetness inch to inch
I have more sweetness pound to pound
Than any other sweet thing I have found.

Sweet thing, sweet, sweet thing
Sweet thing, sweet, sweet thing.

Sweeter than the taste of honey dew
A honey-dew male is sweet, it's true
But it just ain't quite as sweet as you
Sweeping is the way to measure you
I look at the scale and it's a shame
I have more sweetness inch to inch
I have more sweetness pound to pound
Than any other sweet thing I have found.

Sweet thing, you are what's happening
You're just a bundle of love
Happiness and love
Say it, sweet thing, you are my everything
You're all I need and more
Than my heart a-bargained for
Sweet thing, you make my heart sing
You turn darkness into light
You make everything alright
Sweet thing, you make the bells ring
Ding dong, and sweet and true
Attaching me to you.

The Blue Room

We'll have a blue room
A new room, for two room
Where every day's a holiday
Because you're married to me

Not like a ballroom
A small room, a hall room
Where you can smoke your pipe away
With my wee head upon your knee

We will thrive on, keep alive on
Just nothing but kisses
With Mister and Misses
On little blue chairs

I'll wear my trouseau
And Robinson Crusoe
Is not so far from worldly cares
As our blue room far away upstairs

We will thrive on, keep alive on
Just nothing but kisses
With Mister and Misses
On little blue chairs

I'll wear my trouseau
And Robinson Crusoe
Is not so far from worldly cares
As our blue room far away upstairs

This Can't Be Love

This can't be love
Because I feel so well
No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs

This can't be love
I get no dizzy spells
My head is not in the skies
My heart does not stand still
Just hear it beat
This is too sweet to be love

This can't be love
Because I feel so well
I love to look in your eyes
I love to look in your eyes

This can't be love
Because I feel so well
No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs

This can't be love
I get no dizzy spells
My head is not in the skies
My heart does not stand still
Just hear it beat
This is too sweet to be love

This can't be love
Because I feel so well
I love to look in your eyes
I love to look in your eyes
