I started kissing everything in sight.  
But when I kissed the cop down at 34th and Vine,  
He broke my little bottle of  
Love potion number 9.

Hey everybody on the street, I see you smilin’  
Must be because I found my baby  
You know, she’s got me on another kind of highway  
I want to go to where it takes me

Hey, 98.6, it’s good to have you back again

1 for the cockpit blues  
2 for the Panzer crews  
3 for the vast and molten sky  
4 for the failed talks  
5 for the knives and forks  
6 for forbidden kicks  
All the yobbos in the sticks

You take that first step: Ask her out and treat her like a lady  
Second step: Tell her she’s the one you’re dreaming of  
Third step: Take her in your arms and never let her go  
Don’t you know step by step  
Step by step, you’ll win her love

Step by step. Don’t you know I need you

Step by step, oh, baby, you’re always on my mind  
Step by step, oh, girl, I really think it’s just a matter of time

All it takes is a rake and a hoe and a piece of fertile ground

Along with the sunshine there’s gotta be a little rain sometime

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem  
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem  
It is the special one, it’s never seen the sun  
It only comes out when the moon is on the run

You saw me standing alone  
Without a dream in my heart  
Without a love on my own

Under blue moon I saw you  
So soon you’ll take me  
Up in your arms too late to beg you or cancel it  
Though I know it must be the killing time  
Unwillingly mine

One more time for all the old times  
For all the times you told me you need me  
Needing me now is something I could use, midnight blue  
Wouldn’t you give your hand to a friend

My only friend through teenage nights  
And everything I had to know  
I heard it on my radio

Wasted away again in Margaritaville,  
Searchin’ for my lost shaker of salt.  
Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame,  
But I know it’s nobody’s fault.
