Splish splash, I was taking a bath
Long about a Saturday night
A rub dub, just relaxing in the tub
Thinking everything was alright

Well, I stepped out the tub, put my feet on the floor
I wrapped the towel around me
And I opened the door, and then
Splish, splash! I jumped back in the bath
Well how was I to know there was a party going on

They was a-splishing and a-splashing, reelin' with the feelin'
Moving and a-grooving, rocking and a-rolling, yeah

Bing bang, I saw the whole gang
Dancing on my living room rug, yeah
Flip flop, they was doing the bop
All the teens had the dancing bug

There was Lollipop with-a Peggy Sue
Good golly, Miss Molly was-a even there, too
A-well-a, splish splash, I forgot about the bath
I went and put my dancing shoes on, yeah

I was a rolling and a-strolling, reeling with the feeling
Moving and a-groovin', splishing and a-splashing, yeah

Yes, I was a-splishing and a-splashing, I was a-rolling and a-strolling
Yeah, I was a-moving and a-grooving, we was a-reeling with the feeling
We was a-rolling and a-strolling, moving with the grooving
Splish splash, yeah

Yes, I was a-splishing and a-splashing
I was a-splishing and a-splashing
I was a-moving and a-grooving...

Well you can talk about your Julie and your Peggy Sue
you can keep your Miss Molly and your Mary Lou
when it comes to the chicken or to doing the hop
I've got a girl they call the queen of the hop

well I love my queen
do you know who I mean
sweet little sixteen
yes that's my queen

well she wears short shorts and rock and roll shoes
gotta see her dance to the yellow dog blues
she's my sugar time baby
I'm her lollipop
Everybody knows I love my queen of the hop

well I love my queen
do you know who I mean
sweet little sixteen
yes that's my queen

Well she tunes into bandstand every day
to watch the kids dancing cross the USA
she don't care about a thing except in rock and roll
my baby drives me crazy when she does the stroll

Well she tunes into bandstand every day
to watch the kids dancing cross the USA
she don't care about a thing except in rock and roll
my baby drives me crazy when she does the stroll

well I love my queen
do you know who I mean
sweet little sixteen
yes that's my queen

well that's my queen
yes that's my queen
well that's my queen...

Plain Jane
Bobby Darin
Written by Doc Pomus and Marty Shuman,

(#38 in 1959)

My plain Jane never wear no lipstick or paint.
You know she'll never try to be what she ain't.
Come early in the mornin' you can hear the fella's call (woo!)
Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight so we can have a ball.

(Yes, sir now)
Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, come out tonight, come out
tonight
Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, spend some time with me.

Her mouth's a little too wide and her nose a wee bit long.
And when you take a good look at her her shape seems all wrong.
But she got this little somethin' that's so hard to define;
And I wish that little somethin' was mine, all mine, all mine! (woo!)

And ol' Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, come out tonight, come
out tonight.
Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, spend some time with me.
-----------
(Oh, wee!)
(Oh, Yeah!)
----------
I used to go with glamor girls to worship day and night.
But Plain Jane has a cotton dress and it don't fit her right.
Icould never, never tell 'ya why I love her like I do,
But if you took her out one fine night, you'd feel the same way I do.

(won't cha now)
Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, come out tonight, come out
tonight.
Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, spend some time with me.
I say, spend some time with me.
Woo!, Plain Jane
I love her just the same.
Oh.... Plain Jane.....

Every night I hope and pray a dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms and know the magic of her charms
'cause I want (yeah-yeah yeah) a girl (yeah-yeah yeah) to call (yeah-yeah yeah) my
own (yeah-yeah)
I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone

Dream lover, where are you with a love, oh, so true?
And I hand that can hold, to feel you near as I grow old?
'cause I want (yeah-yeah yeah) a girl (yeah-yeah yeah) to call (yeah-yeah yeah) my
own (yeah-yeah)
I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone

Someday, I don't know how, I hope she'll hear my plea
Some way, I don't know how, she'll bring her love to me

Dream lover, until then, I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do, till all my lover's dreams come true
'cause I want (yeah-yeah yeah) a girl (yeah-yeah yeah) to call (yeah-yeah yeah) my
own (yeah-yeah)
I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone

Dream lover, until then, I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do, till all my lover's dreams come true
'cause I want (yeah-yeah yeah) a girl (yeah-yeah yeah) to call (yeah-yeah yeah) my
own (yeah-yeah)
I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone

Please don't make me dream alone
I beg you don't make me dream alone
FADE
No, I don't wanna dream

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it, ah, out of sight
Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe
So there′s never, never a trace of red

Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh, whoo sunny morning, un huh
Lies a body just oozin′ life, eek
And someone′s sneakin′ ′round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

There′s a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river dontcha know
Where a cement bag′s just a′drooppin′ on down
Oh, that cement is just, it′s there for the weight, dear
Five′ll get ya ten old Macky′s back in town
Now d′ja hear ′bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawin′ out all his hard-earned cash
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
Could it be our boy′s done somethin′ rash?


Now Jenny Diver, ho, ho, yeah, Sukey Tawdry
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky′s back in town

Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky′s back in town.....

Look out, old Macky′s back!!

I can only give you love that lasts forever
And the promise to be near each time you call
And the only heart I own, for you and you alone
That's all, that's all.

I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall
And a love whose burning light
Will warm the winter's night.
That's all, that's all.

There are those who would offer the moon, dear.
They would give you the world as a toy.
All I have are these arms to enfold you
And a love time can never destroy.

If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear,
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small.
Say it's me that you'll adore, now and evermore.
That's all, that's all.

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waitin' for me
My lover stands on golden sands and watches the ships
That go sailin'

Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watchin' for me
If I could fly like birds on high then straight to her arms
I'd go sailin'

It's far beyond a star
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon

We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea and never again
I'll go sailin'

(Instrumental Break)

I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon

We'll meet I know we'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea and never again
I'll go sailin'

No more sailin'
So long sailin'
Bye bye sailin'

You're feeling low and oh so small
Then suddenly you're eight feet tall
She just walked in the room
And the gloomy room just glows
That's the way love is
That's how it goes

You're such a drag from nine 'til five
Then all at once you're so alive
It's just the way she winks her eye
Or wrinkles her nose
That's the way love is
That's how it goes

It's the world's oldest unsolved riddle
The kind of game you just can't win
And if you come up with the answer
You're a better man sir, than I, Gunga Din

So when that tingle hits you deep
And you're tired but you just can't sleep
Don't you take my word
Go and ask anyone who knows
That's the way love is
That's how it goes

It's the world's oldest unsolved riddle
The kind of game you just can't win
You come up with the answer
And you're a better man sir, than I, Gunga Din

So when that tingle hits you deep
And you're tired you don't sleep
Don't you take my word
Go and ask anyone who knows
That's the way love is
That's how it goes
That's how it goes
That's how it goes

Clementine
Bobby Darin
Written by Woody Harris

(#21 in 1960)

In a cavern down by a canyon
Excavatin' for a mine,
There lived a miner from North Carolina
And his daughter, chubby Clementine.

Now every mornin', just about dawnin'
A'when the sun begins to shine
You know she would rouse up, wake all a dem cows up
And walk 'em down to her Daddy's mine.

A'took the foot bridge, way 'cross the water
Though she weighed two-ninety nine.
The old bridge trembled and disassembled
(Oops!) dumped her into the foamy brine.

Hey, crackle like thunder, (ho, ho) she went under
(ho, ho) blowin bubbles (bubble sound) down the line.
Hey, I'm no swimm'a but were she slimm'a
I might'a saved that Clementine.

(Ho) broke the record, way under water
I thought that she was doin' fine.
I wasn't nervous ya until the service
That they held for Clementine.

Hey you sailor (ho, ho) way out in your whaler
With a harpoon, your trusty line.
If she shows now, yo, there she blows now,
It just may be chunky Clementine.

(One more time)
Oh my darlin', oh my darlin', oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin' , oh my darlin' sweet Clementine,
You may be gone
But!
You're not forgotten,
Fare thee well
So long, Clementine
(Bubble sound) Bye!

I 'll be there
When all your dreams are broken
To answer your unspoken prayers
When the little things you're doing
Don't turn out right
Don't you worry darling
I'll be there

I'll miss you
And in my dreams I'll kiss you
And wish you luck on your new affair
So baby if you need me
All you have to do is call me
And don't you worry darling
I'll be there

There whenever you need to know
That there is someone who cares
So if your new love
Isn't a true love
Don't you worry darling
I'll be there

Ohh I'll be there
Don't you worry darling
Cuz you know I'll be there
Don't you worry...

Alone in the world was poor little Anne
As sweet a young child as you'd find.
Her parents had gone to their final reward
Leavin' their baby behind.

(Did you hear?)
This poor little child was only nine years of age
when mother and dad went away;
Still brav-el-y worked
At the one thing she knew
to earn her few pennies a day.

She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers,
Flowers for ladies of fashion to wear;
She made artificial flowers, you know those artificial flowers,
Fashions from Annie's despair.

With paper and shears, with some wire and wax
She made up each tulip and mum.
As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room
Her baby little fingers grew numb.

From makin' artificial flowers, those artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear.
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
Made from Annie's despair.

They found little Annie all covered in ice
Still clutchin' her poor frozen shears
Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand
And watered with all her young tears.

There must be a heaven where little Annie can play
In heavenly gardens and bowers.
And instea-a-ad of a halo she'll wear 'round her head
A garland of genuine flowers.

No more artificial flowers;
Throw away those artificial flowers,
Flowers for ladies of society to wear.
Throw away those artificial flowers,
Those dumb-dumb flowers,
Fashioned from Annie's,
Fashioned from A-a-a-annie's
Des-pa-a-a-air.
(Give her the real thing!)

I've been all over this country
Been half way 'round the world
I've been traveling so dog gone much
That I haven't got a steady girl

Somebody to love (Somebody to love)
Somebody to love (Somebody to love)
Somebody to call me turtledove
Somebody to love

Yes I guess I've been lucky
I've had me fortune and fame
But I would give up my roman ways
Just to change some girlie's name

Somebody to love (Somebody to love)
Somebody to love (Somebody to love)
Somebody to call me turtledove
Somebody to love

I've been hurtin' (He's been hurtin')
Such a long, long time (long, long time)
I've been searchin' (He's been searchin')
Where's that girl of mine

Won't you hear me now,
If there's somebody listenin'
Won't you hear my plea?
Won't you send me a good, good girl
To spend her life with me

Somebody to love (Somebody to love)
Somebody to love (Somebody to love)
Somebody to call me turtledove
Somebody to love
I've been hurtin' (He's been hurtin')
Such a long, long time (long, long time)
I've been searchin' (He's been searchin')
Where's that girl of mine

Won't you hear me now,
If there's somebody listenin'
Won't you hear my plea?
Won't you send me a good, good girl
To spend her life with me

Somebody to love (Somebody to love)
Somebody to love (Somebody to love)
Somebody to call me turtledove
Somebody to love

Somebody to love (Somebody to love)
Somebody to love (Somebody to love)
Somebody to call me turtledove
Somebody to love . . .

Lazy River
Bobby Darin
(Sid Arodin & Hoagy Carmichael)

- (#14 in 1961)

Up a lazy river by the old mill stream
Lazy river in the noon day sun
Linger awhile in the shade of a tree
Throw away your troubles, dream with me.

Up a lazy river where the robin's song
Wakes the mornin', we roll along.
Make me blue skies above,
Everyone's in love
Up a lazy river, how happy we'll be
Up a lazy river with me.

Up a lazy river by the old mill run
That's a lazy, lazy river in the noonday sun
You can linger for a while in the shade of a tree.
Throw!, away your troubles, baby, dream a dream of me.

Up a lazy river, where the robin's song
Wakes a brand new mornin' where we can roll along.
There may be blue skies up above
But as long as we're in love
Yah, we'll be up a lazy river, how happy we could be,
Up a lazy river with me.
-----------
(we're half way home)
----------
Yeah, up a lazy river where the robin's song
Awakes a brand new mornin', we can roll along.
A-a-a, threre are blue skies up above
And as long as we're in love,
We'll be up a lazy river,
Up a crazy river,
Up a lazy river,
I ain't goin' your way,
Get out'a my way,
Up a lazy river with me....

There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he

And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return

Oh, the greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return

The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return

Oh … you know, you know, you know, you know …

You must a been a beautiful baby
You must a been a beautiful child
When you were only startin'
To go to kindergarten
I bet you drove those other childs wild!

Oh yeah … oh yeah … oh yeah …
An' when it came to winnin' blue ribbons
Well … I bet you taught the other kids how
Well, I can see the judge's eyes
As they handed you the prize
I bet you took the cutest bow!

Yeah! You must a been a beautiful baby
'cause baby won't you look at you now.

Oh yeah … oh yeah … oh yeah …

You must a have been a beautiful baby
You must a have been a beautiful child
When you were only startin'

To go to kindergarten
I know you drove the other childs wild.
An' I wasn't even there.

An' when you came to winnin' blue ribbons
Hey … I know you taught those other kids how
Well, I can see the judge's eyes
As they handed you the prize
I know you made the cutest bow!

Yeah! You must a been a beautiful baby
‘cause baby won't you look at you now.
Oh, I mean … I mean … oh, beautiful …
Oh, beautiful …
Oh, beautiful …

Oh, beautiful …
Oh, beautiful …
Oh, beautiful …

Aah, I know you're beautiful … too beautiful for words ...

When you see a gentleman bee
Round a lady bee buzzin'
Just count to ten then count again
There's sure to be an even dozen.

Multiplication
That's the name of the game
And each generation
They play the same.

Now, there was two butterflies castin' their eyes
Both in the same direction
You'd never guess that one little yes
Could start a butterfly collection.

Multiplication
That's the name of the game
And each generation
They play the same.

Let me tell ya now …I say one and one is five
You can call me a silly goat
But, ya take two minks add two winks
Ahhh … ya got one mink coat.

When a girl gets coy in front of a boy
After three or four dances
Ah … you can just bet she'll play hard to get
To multiply her chances.

Multiplication
That's the name of the game
And each generation
You know they play the same.

Hear me talkin' to ya …Mother Nature's a clever girl
She relies on habit
Ya take two hares with no cares
Pretty soon you got a room full of rabbits.

Parakeets in-between tweets
Sometimes get too quiet
Uh-oh … but, have no fear 'cause soon you'll hear
A parakeet's riot just try it.

Multiplication
That's the name of the game
And every generation
You know they play the same.

Yes ... it's multiplication
That's the name of the game
And each generation
They play the same.

They're better...

Every night
I sit here by my window (window)
staring at the lonely avenue (avenue)
watching lovers holding hands and laughing (laughing)
and thinking bout the things we used to do

(Thinking of things)
like a walk in the park (things)
like a kiss in the dark (things
like a sailboat ride (yeah yeah)
what about the night we cried
things like a lovers vow
things that we don't do now
thinking bout the things we used to do

Memories are all I have to cling to (cling to)
and heartaches are the friends I'm talking to (talking to)
when I'm not thinking of just how much I loved you
well I'm thinking about the things we used to do

(Thinking of things)
like a walk in the park (things)
like a kiss in the dark (things)
like a sailboat ride (yeah yeah)
what about the night we cried
things like a lovers vow
things that we don't do now
thinking bout the things we used to do

I still can hear the jukebox softly playing (playing)
and the face I see each day belongs to you (belong to you)
though there's not a single sound
and theres nobody else around
well it's just me thinking of the things we used to do

(Thinking of things)
like a walk in the park (things)
like a kiss in the dark (things)
like a sailboat ride (yeah yeah)
what about the night we cried
things like a lovers vow
things that we don't do now
thinking bout the things we used to do

And the heartaches are the friends I'm talking to
you got me thinking bout the things we used to do

Baby face
you've got the cutest little baby face
there ain't nobody can ever take your place
you baby face
my poor hearts jumping
you started something

baby face
well I'm in heaven when I'm in
your, your fond embrace
yeah I never need no shove
cuz I just fell I fell in love with your
pretty pretty baby face
let's twist awhile

baby face, you know you got the cutest baby face
they'll never be nobody to take your place
you baby face

you ain't the girl with a hole in your stocking

but you're a baby face
I'm in heaven when I'm in your fond embrace yeah
I never need no shove
cuz I just fell in love with your
pretty pretty baby face

How did I know that the warmth of the glow would last
And how did I guess that the long loneliness was past
I merely looked at you and I knew then and there I knew
It's you or no one for me

I'm sure of this every time we kiss
Now and forever when forever is done
You'll find that you are still the one

So please don't say no to my plea
'Cause if you do then I'm all through
There's this about you
My world's an empty world without you
It's you or no one for me

It's a matter of now and forever
When forever is all done
You'll find you are still the one

So please don't say no to my plea
'Cause if you do then I'm all through
There's this about you
My world's an empty world without you
It's you or no one for me

It's you or no one for me
It's you or no one for me
