SING
Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud, sing out strong
Sing of good things, not bad
Sing of happy, not sad
Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not good enough
For anyone else to hear
Just sing, sing a song
la, la, la, la, la
la, la, la, la, la, la
la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Sing, sing a song
Let the world sing along
Sing of love there could be
Sing for you and for me
Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not good enough
For anyone else to hear
Just sing, sing a song
Just sing, sing a song
Just sing, sing a song
la, la, la, la, la, etc....
THIS MASQUERADE
Are we really happy with this lonely game we play?
Looking for the right words to say
Searching, but not finding understanding anyway
We're lost in this masquerade
Both afraid to say we're just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play
Thoughts of leaving disappear each time I see your eyes
And no matter how hard I try
To understand the reason why we carry on this way
We're lost in this masquerade
instrumental break
We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play
Thoughts of leaving disappear each time I see your eyes
And no matter how hard I try
To understand the reason why we carry on this way
We're lost in a masquerade
We're lost in a masquerade
And we're lost in a masquerade

JAMBALAYA
Goodbye, Joe, he gotta go, me-o my-o
He gotta go, pull the pirogue down the bayou
His Yvonne's the sweetest one, me-o my-o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dressed in style they go hog wild, me-o my-o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya, crawfish pie, fillet gumbo
For tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher a me-o
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar, and be gay-o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
instrumental
Settle down, far from town, get him a pirogue
And he'll catch all the fish in the bayou
Swap his mon' to buy Yvonne what she need-o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya, crawfish pie, fillet gumbo
For tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher a me-o
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar, and be gay-o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
instrumental
Jambalaya, crawfish pie, fillet gumbo
For tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher a me-o
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar, and be gay-o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
I CAN'T MAKE MUSIC
Here I am just sittin' around
With an old piano in a vacant room
And the same old feelin's come again
So uncertain, hurt, and scared
I thought I grew but here I am again
I should've seen the train'd be passin' through
I thought I knew
And I can't make music
No, I can't make rhyme
No, I can't do anything to take me away this time
To take me away this time
I know it's an old cliche to say I feel I'm gonna die
And I hear it's gone out to cry
So I'm gonna say some kind words to you
I'd like to wish you luck and hope
That life will be with someone else
Just like I thought it would be with me
But I can't see
And I can't make music
No, I can't make rhyme
No, I can't do anything to take me away this time
I can't make music
And I can't make rhyme
No, I can't do anything to take me away this time
YESTERDAY ONCE MORE
When I was young I'd listen to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile
Those were such happy times and not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone
But they're back again just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well
Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-oh-wo-oh still shines
Every shing-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing so fine
When they get to the part where he's breakin' her heart
It can really make me cry just like before
It's yesterday once more
shooby-doo-lang-lang, shooby-doo-lang-lang
Lookin' back on how it was in years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed
It was songs of love that I would sing to them
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away
Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-oh-wo-oh still shines (oldies, oldies, but goodies)
Every shing-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing so fine
All my best memories come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry just like before
It's yesterday once more
Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-oh-wo-oh still shines
Every shing-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing so fine
FUN, FUN, FUN
Well, she got her Daddy's car and she cruised to the hamburger stand now
Seems she forgot all about the library like she told her old man now
And with the radio blastin' goes crusin' just as fast as she can now
And she'll have fun, fun, fun till her Daddy takes the T-Bird away
Well, you knew all along that your Dad was gettin' wise to you now
And since he took your set of keys you've been thinkin' that your fun is all through now
But you can come along with me cause we got a lot of things to do now
And we'll have fun, fun, fun now that Daddy took the T-Bird away
THE END OF THE WORLD
Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
Cause you don't love me anymore?
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye
DA DOO RON RON
I met him on a Monday and my heart stood still
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron!
Somebody told me that his name was Bill
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron!
Yeah, my heart stood still
Yeah, his name was Bill
And when he walked me home
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron!
Yeah, he looks so fine
Yeah, I'll make him mine
And when he walked me home
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron yeah!
DEADMAN'S CURVE
The street was deserted late Friday night
We were buggin' each other while we sat at the light
We both poppped our clutch when the light turned green
You should have heard the whine from my screamin' machine
I flew past La Brea down to Crescent Heights
And all the Jag could see were my six tail lights
He passed me at Doheny and I started to swerve
But I pulled her out and there we were at Deadman's Curve
Deadman's curve is no place to play. Deadman's curve!
(spoken) Well, the last thing I remember, Doc,
I started to swerve, and then I saw the Jag slide into
The curb, I know I'll never forget that horrible sight,
When I found out for myself, that everyone was right
Won't come back from Deadman's curve!
Deadman's curve is no place to play
Deadman's curve, you best keep away!
Deadman's curve, I can hear them say:
Won't come back from Deadman's curve!
JOHNNY ANGEL
Johnny Angel, Johnny Angel, Johnny Angel, Johnny Angel
You're an angel to me
Johnny Angel how I love him
How I tingle when he passes by
Everytime he says "hello" my heart begins to fly
Johnny Angel, how I want him
He's got something that I can't resist
But he doesn't even know that I exist
I'm in Heaven, I get carried away
I dream of him and me and how it's gonna be
Other fellas call me up for a date
But I just sit and wait
I'd rather concentrate on Johnny Angel cause I love him
And I pray that someday he'll love me
And together we will see how lovely Heaven will be
And together we will see how lovely Heaven will be
THE NIGHT HAS A THOUSAND EYES
They say that you're a run-around lover
Though you say it isn't so
But if you put me down for another
I'll know, beleive me, I'll know
Cause the night has a thousand eyes
And a thousand eyes can't help but see
If you aren't true to me
So remember when you tell those little white lies that
The night has a thousand eyes
One of these days you're gonna be sorry
Cause your game I'm gonna play
And you'll find out without really tryin'
Each time that my kissed stray that
The night has a thousand eyes
And a thousand eyes will see me through
And no matter what I do
I could never disguise all those little white lies cause
The night has a thousand eyes
So remember when you tell those little white lies that
The night has a thousand eyes!
OUR DAY WILL COME
Our day will come and we'll have everything
We'll share the joy falling in love can bring
No one can tell me that I'm too young to know
I love you so and you love me
Our day will come if we just wait awhile
No tears for us, think, love, and wear a smile
Our dreams have magic because we'll always stay in love this way
Our day will come
Our day will come
Our day will come
ONE FINE DAY
One fine day you'll look at me
And you will know our love was meant to be
One fine day you're gonna want me for your girl
Your arms I long for will open wide
And you'll be proud to have me right by your side
One fine day you're gonna want me for your girl
instrumental
One fine day you're gonna want me for your girl
One fine day, woah, yeah
YESTERDAY ONCE MORE (REPRISE)
When I was young I'd listen to the radio
so fine, so fine
When I was young I'd listen to the radio
