DOUBLE TROUBLE

(Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman) « © '65 Pomus Songs, BMI / Mort Shuman Music, BMI »
Some guys fall in love with one girl I gotta fall for two
There's just so much loving that one heart's supposed to do
So I go around with my heart dragging on the ground
Dogging me around I'm the sorriest sight in town

I got double trouble I got double trouble
I got double trouble twice as much as anybody else oh yeah

I guess there's gotta be two dark clouds hanging over me
My future looks a bumpy as a matchbox on the sea
Every time I think that I have finally got it made
Some losing cards are played I just can't make the grade

I got double trouble...
I got double trouble...

BABY IF YOU'LL GIVE ME ALL OF YOUR LOVE

(Joy Byers Johnston) « © '65 Gladys Music, ASCAP »
I'll send you red roses by the dozen
I'll call you sweet little things like turtle dove
I'll whisper pretty things in your ear the kinda things a girl likes to hear
Baby if you'll give me all of your love

I'll bring you pounds and pounds of chocolate candy
To prove it's you that I've been thinking of
Tear up all the pictures I own of every pretty girl I've ever known
Baby if you'll give me all of your love

I'll take you dancin' every night until you're ready to drop
I'll kiss your sweet red cherry lips until you holler stop
Every night I'll serenade you 'neath your window
If you need me just a whistle and I won't need a shove
I'll hug you squeeze you tight as I can it ain't gonna be no one night stand
Baby if you'll give me all of your love

I'll take you dancin' every night...
Baby if you'll give me all of your love
Baby if you'll give me baby if you'll give me all of your love

COULD I FALL IN LOVE

(Randy Starr) « © '65 Nadel Music, ASCAP »
Could I fall in love for the very first time
That's what I ask myself when you're lips touch mine
Could I fall in love on a night like tonight
That's what I'd like to know when I hold you tight

Now that we're alone just a kiss apart just a kiss apart
I have the answer from the feeling in my heart
Could I fall in love and forever be true
My heart tells me I could if I fell for you

LONG LEGGED GIRL (WITH THE SHORT DRESS ON)

(Leslie McFarland - Winfiekd Scott) « © '65 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
Alright I've been thumbin' rides travellin' light walkin' streets till past midnight
Trampin' roads trails and lanes scalin' cliffs and fields and plains
Searchin' till the early dawn for that long legged girl with the short dress on

Ridin' trucks bikes and skis sailin' lakes and brooks and seas
Drivin' wagons cars and jeeps walkin' on stilts in ten foot leaps
Searchin' till the early dawn for that long legged girl with the short dress on
And everywhere I go she's been and gone

She's fine it's just too bad she's the travellin' kind
So fine I just can't rest till I make her mine
Well I've been from Maine to Tennessee Mexico and Wahkiki
Rain or shine sleet or snow searchin' high and searchin' low
Cause everything depends upon that long legged girl with the short dress on

She's fine it's just too bad...
That long legged girl with the short dress on

CITY BY NIGHT

(Bill Giant - Bernie Baum - Florenece Kaye) « © '65 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
When shadows beckon on dimlit avenues night people hear the call
From hidden alleys to secret rendezvous they come out one and all

The city by night I'm wide awake it never sleeps make no mistake
Whatever sets off the spark a magic glow lights the dark
Then I'm intrigued by the sight of the city by night

Those crowded nightclubs those picturesque cafes are scenes no one forgets
And I'm enchanted music softly plays by dancing silhouettes

The city by night I'm wide awake it never sleeps make no mistake
The evening's full of surprise it's magic opens my eyes
And I'm intrigued by the sight of the city by night
[ piano ] Yeah

OLD MAC DONALD

(Randy Starr) « © '65 Nadel Music, ASCAP »
Old MacDonald had a farm ee-i-ee-i-o
And on that farm he had some chicks ee-i-ee-i-o
With a cluck cluck here a cluck cluck there loud as they could be
And when those chicks got out of line chicken fricasse
With a cluck cluck here a cluck cluck there loud as they could be
And when those chicks got out of line chicken fricasse

Well old MacDonald had a farm ee-i-ee-i-o
And on that farm he had some cows ee-i-ee-i-o
With a moo moo here a moo moo there cattle everywhere
And when those cows got out of line hamburger medium rare
With a moo moo here a moo moo there cattle everywhere
And when those cows got out of line hamburger medium rare

Oh Well old MacDonald had a farm ee-i-ee-i-o
And on that farm he had some pigs ee-i-ee-i-o
With an oink oink here an oink oink there pigs everywhere in sight
And when those pigs got out of line pork and beans at night
With an oink oink here an oink oink there pigs everywhere in sight
And when those pigs got out of line pork and beans at night

Well I'm goona have a farm one day ee-i-e-i-o
And I'll do things McDonalds way ee-i-e-i-o
With a cluck cluck here a cluck cluck there a moo moo here a moo moo there
An oink oink here an oink oink there and I can promise you
If those animals ever get out of line we'll have a mulligan stew
How about you

I LOVE ONLY ONE GIRL

(Sid Tepper - Roy C. Bennett) « © '65 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP »
Oh I love only one girl the one I got my arms around
I love only one girl one in every town

In Paris there is Mimi and when the moon is bright
I love to take her walking along the Seine each night
I kiss her on the left then I kiss her on the right
Oh I love only one girl the one I got my arms around
I love only one girl one in every town

I'm proud of my Brunhilda in Frankfurt on the Rhine
Oh she's a lot of woman and all of her is mine
Oh she can lift a sign way as easy as a stein
Oh I love only one girl the one I got my arms around
I love only one girl one in every town

In Naples there's Maria how she can cook and flirt
You can't beat her lasagna I eat until I hurt
And then she tops it off with amore for dessert
Oh I love only one girl the one I got my arms around
I love only one girl one in every town

Oh I love only one girl the one I got my arms around
I love only one girl one in every town
I love only one girl I love only one girl I love only one girl
I love only one girl she's the girl for me

THERE IS SO MUCH WORLD TO SEE

(Ben Weisman - Randy Starr) « © '65 Chappell & Co, ASCAP / Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP »
Baby it's wrong wrong as can be to try and tie guy like me
I could never settle down in a little sleepy town there's so much world to see

Sure would be happy for a while but then we'd have to part
When tears replace your loving smile
Well I don't want to be the guy who has to break your heart
So here's where it ends not lovers but friends
Though your lips are tempting me
Maybe I'm a fool and yet this wanderer just can't forget
There's so much world to see

Sure would be happy for a while...
For me there's so much world to see yeah yeah

IT WON'T BE LONG

(Ben Weisman - Sid Wayne) « © '65 Chappell & Co, ASCAP »
The shooting stars are coming out of your eyes
They point the way the way to paradise
I got a funny feeling I can't be wrong
It won't be long until the sparks will fly it won't be long

I hear a buzz buzz around in my brain
But what it does is bound to drive me insane
At a time like this I must be strong
It won't be long till the sky falls down it won't be long

Love has taught me plenty I'm still learning more
Anything worth having is worth the waiting for
Here I go I'm on a one way trip
Look out below cause I'm about to flip
I tell you when these lips get to that kiss
It won't be long until we're out of this world it won't be long

Love has taught me plenty...
It won't be long until we're out of this world it won't be long

NEVER ENDING

(Buddy Kaye - Philip Springer) « © '63 ATV Tunes, ASCAP / Tamir Music, ASCAP »
Walk down to the beach at sunset look as far as you can see
You will find that endless ocean and that's how my love will always be

I bring you never ending never ending never ending never ending
Never ending never ending love

Look up at the sky at midnight gaze up on the starlit view
Just as heaven has no boundaries neither does my love for you

I bring you never ending...
Never ending love never ending love never ending love

BLUE RIVER

(Fred Tobias - Paul Evans) « © '62 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP / Holee Music, ASCAP »
Blue river it can't be found on any map that I know
But it's the place where lonely lovers all go to cry their tears
Blue river it winds along a path of heartache and pain
Of broken dreams from lovin' someone in vain
Like I loved you and baby I still do

I held you so tight you were out of my sight
I'm feelin' so low but I gotta go
Blue river because you never really cared about me
From now on baby that's where I'm gonna be
Cryin' over you by the river of blue
[ guitar ] I held you so tight you were out of my sight...
[ guitar ] I held you so tight you were out of my sight...

WHAT NOW WHAT NEXT WHERE TO

(Don Robertson - Hal Blair) « © '63 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP »
Like a ship without a compass on a cold lonely sea
No beacon light of love to guide me through
I lost the only treasure that means anything to me
What now what next where to

I thought I had a love that would be mine eternally
I felt so sure you'd be forever true
Now everything I counted on has crumbled under you
What now what next where to

You were part of every dream I dreamed of everything I planned
How could I know our castles were built upon the sand
Won't heaven send an angel please to tell me what to do
What now what next where to
What now what next where to
