(Girls girls girls girls girls)

Goin' swimmin' (girls) in bikinis (girls)
A walkin' and wigglin' by yea yea yea (girls)
On the beaches (girls) oh what peaches (girls)
So pretty Lord I could cry

Sailin' sailboats (girls) water skiin' (girls)
They'll drive me out of my mind yea yea yea (girls)
Big and brassy (girls) small and sassy
Just give me one of each kind

Girls girls girls girls

And when I pick up a sandwich too much
A crunchy crunchety a crunchety crunch

Because there's always bound to be a bunch of (girls)

I DON'T WANNA BE TIED

(Bill Giant - Bernie Baum - Florenece Kaye) « © '62 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
I want my share of love it might as well be known
But I ain't thinking of one girl to love alone
That ain't the way it's gonna be I'm on my own and I am free
And I've been satisfied so I don't wanna be tied

Somebody's loving arms can sure be sweet I've found
But I want no one's arms to ever hold me down
Once I get caught inside a net I'm gonna run I bet
I'm gonna run and hide I don't wanna be tied

I've seen others who were matched they thought love could stay
Once they cared and got attached it seems that love just slipped away

Don't want no claims on me don't want no chains that bind
As anyone could see I say what's on my mind
Well there ain't nothing I conceal I'm gonna play the field
The field of love is wide I don't wanna be tied
The field of love is wide and I don't wanna be tied
The field of love is wide I don't wanna be tied
I said I don't I don't wanna be I don't wanna be tied

WHERE DO YOU COME FROM

(Ruth Batchelor - Bob Roberts) « © '62 Range Road Music, ASCAP / Cherry River Music, BMI »
Where do you come from tell me who you are
Do you come from another world or from some distant star

Where do you come from are you what you seem
Are you real are you standing there or is it just a dream

Tell me more about yourself do you feel the way I feel
Are you just a vision or are you really real

Where do you come from angel won't you say
Tell me all that there is to know and tell me that you'll stay

I DON'T WANT TO

(Janice Torre - Fred Spielman) « © '62 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP »
I don't want to I don't want to
I don't want to let you know how much I want you
Don't come near me I don't trust you
I don't trust the way you thrill me when I touch you

I was happy free and easy
I could go around and do the things that please me
I don't want to get tied down with a girl like you
I don't want to love you but I do

I was happy free and easy...
I don't want to love you but I do

WE'LL BE TOGETHER

(Charles O'Curran - Dudley Brooks) « © '62 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP »
Oh I will never forget the first night we met was love I was searching for
My heart beat faster and faster oh so much faster faster than it did before

Juntos estaremos siempre por siempre junto a mi corazo'n siempre estara's
We'll be together and love forever nothing can change our destiny
[ guitar ] I knew the moment I kissed you couldn't resist you together we belong
And then I knew in that moment just what this glow meant true love had come along

We'll be together ever and ever close to my heart you'll always be
We'll be together and love forever nothing can change our destiny

BOY LIKE ME A GIRL LIKE YOU

(Sid Tepper - Roy C. Bennett) « © '62 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP »
When a boy like me meets a girl like you
Then I must believe wishes come true
I just look at you and I touch your hand
And this ordinary world becomes a wonderland

There are many girls I have met before
But I pass them by because I knew
There would be this magic moment one to last a lifetime through
When a boy like me meets a girl like you

There are many girls I have met before...
When a boy like me meets a girl like you

RETURN TO SENDER

(Otis Blackwell - Winfield Scott) « © '62 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
Return to sender return to sender

I gave a letter to the postman he put it in his sack
Bright and early next morning he brought my letter back

(She wrote upon it)
Return to sender address unknown
No such number no such zone
We had a quarrel a lover's spat
I write I'm sorry but my letter keeps coming back

So then I dropped it in the mailbox and sent it Special D
Bright and early next morning it came right back to me

(She wrote upon it)
Return to sender address unknown
No such number no such zone
This time I'm gonna take it myself and put it right in her hand
But if it comes back the very next day then I'll understand

(Writing on it)
Return to sender address unknown
No such number no such zone
Return to sender return to sender return to sender return to sender

BECAUSE OF LOVE

(Ruth Batchelor - Bob Roberts) « © '62 Range Road Music, ASCAP / Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
Because of love I'm a hundred feet tall
I can bounce this world like a little old ball
The heaven and earth are now all mine
I've jumped to the moon from cloud number nine
Because because because because of love

Because of love I'm a mighty big man
I hold the sun in the palm of my hand
Just one leap I can cross the seas
Jump over mountains and fly over trees
Because because because because of love

Well I found love I found love that's all that I can say
Oh I'll never never I'll never never never let it get away

Because of love I'm the happiest guy
And life is sweet as cherry cream pie
Well heaven and earth are now all mine
I've jumped to the moon from cloud number nine
Because because because because of love
Because because because because of love

THANKS TO THE ROLLING SEA

(Ruth Batchelor - Bob Roberts) « © '62 Range Road Music, ASCAP / Cherry River Music, BMI »
Thanks to the rolling rolling rolling thanks to the rolling sea
Thanks to the rolling rolling rolling thanks to the rolling sea

Fish on the table and fish on the fire fried fish hanging on the tree
Everything here that your heart desires thanks to the rolling sea
Thanks to the rolling sea

Living is good and living is fine we're happy as can be
We owe all this to the salty brine thanks to the rolling sea
Thanks to the rolling sea

We work all day but our hearts are gay and while we work we sing
The mighty sea is good to us and we've got everything

Abalone steaks and tuna fish cakes taste so heavenly
We know who we owe it to thanks to the rolling sea
Thanks to the rolling rolling rolling thanks to the rolling sea
Thanks to the rolling rolling rolling thanks to the rolling sea

SONG OF THE SHRIMP

(Sid Tepper - Roy C. Bennett) « © '62 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP »
I saw three shrimp in the water two were old and grey
I swam a little bit closer and I heard the third one say

Goodbye mama shrimp papa shake my hand
Here come the shrimp boat to take me to Louisian
Here come the shrimp boat to take me to Louisian

He showed his mama and papa the shrimp newspaper he read
An invitation to all the shrimp and this is what it said

Free ride New Orleans stay in grand hotel
Meet creole gal who help you come out of your shell
Meet creole gal who help you come out of your shell

If I should live to be ninety I will never forget
The little shrimp and the song he sang as he jumped into the net

Goodbye mama shrimp...
Here come the shrimp boat to take me to Louisian
Here come the shrimp boat to take me to Louisian

WALLS HAVE EARS

(Sid Tepper - Roy C. Bennett) « © '62 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP »
The walls have ears ears that hear each little sound you make
Every time you stamp through a lamp and every cup and dish you break
But they can't hear a kiss or two arms that hold you tight
So come on baby don't fight tonight

The walls have ears better think before you fling that shoe
If you part my hair with a chair they'll spread the news to Timbuktu
But they can't hear a kiss or two arms that hold you tight
So come on baby don't fight tonight

Jets can fly fast and high rockets can go even faster
But they can't catch or even match sound traveling through plaster

The walls have ears ears...
Just in tonight don't fight tonight

(Otis Blackwell - Winfield Scott) « © '62 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
Oh yes we're comin' in loaded ooh yes we're comin' in loaded
I'll hold the boat steady brother like a rock
Full speed a head until we hit the dock
We're headin' for home the fishing was great
We're comin' in loaded cause we're all out of bait
Well well well well well oh well now yeah

We got 'em packed to the water line
Some got away but the catch was fine
Never saw such big ones m'man oh man
We're comin' in loaded just as fast as we can
Well well well well well oh well now yeah

I'm gonna see my baby soon as I get back
Knock on the door with my pockets packed
She'll look at me well she can't say no
We're comin' in loaded so come on let's go
Well well well well well oh well now yeah
Oh well now yeah yeah we're comin' in loaded
