Little surfer,
Little one,
Made my heart come all undone,
Do you love me, do you
Surfer girl…
<girl, surfer girl, my little surfer girl>
Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend
Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within.
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes they don’t tell the truth, uh
Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof.
The truth is in the eyes
'Cause the eyes don’t lie, amen
Remember a smile is just a frown turned upside down
My friend let me tell you
Walk like a man
Oh, how you tried to cut me down to size
Tellin’ dirty lies to my friends
But my own father said “Give her up, don’t bother
The world isn’t comin’ to an end”
Walk like a man, talk like a man
Walk like a man my son
No woman’s worth crawlin’ on the earth
So walk like a man, my son
Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waiting for it’s coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings the song he always sings
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring
When I was young my heart was young then too
Anything that it would tell me that’s the thing that I would do
But now I feel such emptiness within
For the thing that I want most in life’s the thing that I can’t win
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you
Brrrrrrrr black slacks
I wear a red bow tie, black slacks
They say me oh my, black slacks
With a watch chain down to my knees
I ain’t nothin’ but a real cool breeze
Brrrrrrrr black slacks
I’m a cool daddy-o, black slacks
I’m rarin’ to go, black slacks
The chicks all say I’m the cat’s pajamas
Always run around with crazy little mamas
“Black Slacks” by Joe Bennett and The Sparkletones hit the top 10 in August, 1957.
He wears tan shoes with pink shoelaces,
A polka-dot vest,
And man, oh, man -
Tan shoes with pink shoelaces,
And a big panama with a purple hat band…

I worked at a country-western radio station in 1984 - the owner wanted us to play this song TWICE an HOUR, he said that our listeners wanted “a little good news” and that it was the most perfect song he’d ever heard…actually it’s the most perfect DRECK I’ve ever heard…
I rolled out this morning
Kids had the mornin’ news show on
Bryant Gumbel was talkin’ ‘bout the fighting in Lebanon
Some senator was squawkin’ 'bout the bad economy
It’s gonna get worse you see, we need a change in policy
There’s a local paper rolled up in a rubber band
One more sad story’s one more than I can stand
Just once how I’d like to see the headline say
“Not much to print today, can’t find nothin’ bad to say”, because
Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town
Nobody OD’ed, nobody burned a single buildin’ down
Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain
We sure could use a little good news today
:rolleyes:
Pop/Rock/R&B on this thread (folk tolerated).

thank you very much

"And we dance
To a whispered voice
Overheard by the soul
Undertook by the heart
And you may know it
If you may know it
While the sand
Would become the stone
Which begat the spark
Turned to living bone
Holy, holy
Sanctus, sanctus"
not much, but it’ll do for now…
In the meantime, as we argue over genres…
Pretty smile lovely face and a warm breeze now I need you lady
You’re my no tell lover
Every night in a different place I’ll meet you tender lady
You’re my no tell lover
Everyone keeps tellin’ me that this affair’s not meant to be
Even though I need you night and day
Walk away if you see me coming, even if it’s you I’m lovin’
Every minute is an hour every day’s a lonely lifetime
You’re my no tell lover
The little time that we spend together just can’t last forever
You’re my no tell lover
Everyone keeps tellin’ me that this affair’s not meant to be
Even though I need you night and day
Walk away if you see me coming even though it’s you I’m lovin’
I want her
I can’t leave her
I won’t live without her
There’s nothing left to say
I want her
I can’t leave her
Are we reduced to Chicago?
If you must resort to such ‘ammunition’, at least do something somebody remembers…
[sub]If you leave me now,
You’ll take away the biggest part of me…
Twenty-five or six to fou-ORE
[/sub]
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
[sub]Yipee, we’re all gonna to die…[/sub]
The road is loooong with many a winding turn
that leads us to who knows where who knows where,
but I’m strooooong, strong enough to carararry him,
he ain’t heavy he’s my brother
So on we go, his welfare is my concern,
no burden is he, to bear, we’ll get there.
For I knooooow, he would not encumber me.
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother
If I’m laden at all, I’m laden with sadness
that everyone’s heart isn’t filled with the gladness of loove,
for one anoooother.
It’s a long long road, from which there is no return.
While we’re on our way to live, why not share?
And the load doesn’t weigh me down at all.
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.
I only read 7 pages
props to happy heathen
What about the Yeti on the roof?
bum bum bum bum
ba bum bum bum
I must be going (don’t go)
my heart is showing (don’t go)
I better hurry away, bum bum bum bum
if I don’t leave I’ll be sorry
What will my Mary say?
Your lips are thrilling, my arms are willing
I know that I shouldn’t stay
If I don’t leave I’ll be sorry
What will my Mary say?
What would I do if she should need me
and find me kissin you?
She’s always trusted me completely
her poor heart would break in two.
I must be going (don’t go)
my heart is showing (don’t go)
I better hurry away, bum bum bum bum
if I don’t leave I’ll be sorry
What will my Mary say?
if I don’t leave I’ll be sorry
What will my Maaa ry say? (don’t go, don’t go)

no lyrics, no points 
You and me baby ain’t nothin’ but mammals
So let’s do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Now wait a minute, Happy. You were the one who said “No show tunes” so now you give us The Sound of Music? Just for that:
Strangers In the Night
Exchanging glances
Wondering in the night
What were the chances
We’d be sharing love
Before the night was through.
Oh yes, since we’re now at page 12,
*I’m Still Standin’
Better than I ever did
Lookin’ like a true survivor
Feelin’ like a little kid.
I’m Still Standin’
After all this time
Pickin’ up the pieces of my life
Without you on my mind.
I’m Still Standin’!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!*

Sittin’ in a native hut
All alone and blue
Sittin’ in a native hut
Wonderin’ what to do
Along came a native girl
Did a native dance
It was like in paradise
Put me in a trance
CJ -
Jes’ looking to see if anybody was paying attention 
“From out of the East a stranger came,
A law book in his hand, a man.
The kind of a man the west would need
To tame a troubled land;
Cause the point of a gun was the only law
That Liberty understood.
When it came to shootin’ straight and fast,
He was mighty good.
When it came to shootin’ straight and fast,
He was mighty good.
Many a man would face his gun
And many a man would fall,
The man who shot Liberty Valance,
He shot Liberty Valance,
He was the bravest of them all.”
Here’s some new dreck - oh god (sorry heathen) I hate this song!
Who can say where the road goes
where the day flows
only time
and who can say if your love grows
as your heart shows
only time
