PARADISE HAWAIIAN STYLE

(Bill Giant - Bernie Baum - Florenece Kaye) « © '65 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
Hawaii USA Hawaii USA
We're flying coming your way Aloha Hawaii USA

Gee it's great to be in that fiftieth state
The land of enchanted dreams
What an isle where it's heaven tropical style
Where love weaves a spell it seems

Hawaii USA Hawaii USA...

Gee what fun just to swim and surf in the sun
While the trade winds caress the sea
What a sight those exotic scenes of delight
Are waiting for you and me

Hawaii USA Hawaii USA Hawaii USA

QUEENIE WAHINE'S PAPAYA

(Bill Giant - Bernie Baum - Florenece Kaye) « © '65 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
She sells sea shells by the seashore but I know a girl who sells so much more
Queenie Wahine's Papaya rates higher than pineapple pumpkin or poy
Please pick her papaya put Queenie Wahine in perfect perpetual joy
Though some people's palates prefer pickled salads for pudding pick popcorn peach pie
Oh Queenie's papaya you'll truly desire when that Queenie Wahine passes by

Queenie Wahine's Papaya rates higher...
Queenie Wahine's Papaya rates higher...

SCRATCH MY BACK (THEN I'LL SCRATCH YOURS)

(Bill Giant - Bernie Baum - Florenece Kaye) « © '65 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
One good turn deserves another be my love I'll be your lover
It's all part of nature's laws if you'll scratch my back then I'll scratch yours

If you'll scratch my back then I'll scratch your back
Like two peas in a pack let's get rid of our itch together

Joy they say is in the giving come on give make life worth living
Your welfare is my concern do a favour for me I'll do one in return

If you'll scratch my back...

Scratch me now a little lower what a feeling do it slower
That's it hmm you're getting hot well I gotta admit you just hit the spot

If you'll scratch my back...
If you'll scratch my back then I'll scratch your back

DRUMS OF THE ISLAND

(Sid Tepper - Roy C. Bennett) « © '65 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP »
Drums of the islands you're beating in my heart
You're with me no matter where I roam
If ever I wander if ever we're apart
I know that you will lead me home

If I should journey across the deep blue sea
I'll never forget these coral shores
Drums of the islands I hear you calling me
And I'll return forever yours

I love each valley each grain of sand each hill
The flowers the music of the isles
These are the things I love and always will
Though I may roam ten thousand miles

Drums of the islands...
Drums of the islands...
Drums of the islands...

DATIN'

(Fred Wise - Randy Starr) « © '65 Erika Publishing, ASCAP / Nadel Music, ASCAP »
Datin' is a game that grown-ups play
Datin' means acting in a silly way
Datin' makes girls start wiggle walking
Datin' makes a guy start baby talking

Dizzy like children on a merry-go-round
Grown-ups are the biggest kids I've found
You'd think they belong in a baby carriage
They're doing things that lead to marriage
But don't you laugh at what thay do oh no
Cause some day you'll be datin' too

Datin' makes a guy comb his hair just right
His girl can mess it up when they kiss goodnight
Datin' makes you quarrel and say you'll break up
And just because it's so much fun to make up

Children can't wait to grow up but then
They're datin and they're acting like kids again
You'd think they belong in a baby carriage
They're doing things that lead to marriage
But don't you laugh at what thay do oh no
Some day you'll be datin' too

DOG'S LIFE

(Ben Weisman - Sid Wayne) « © '65 Chappell & Co, ASCAP / Holly Hill Music, ASCAP »
If I had my life to live over I know just what I'd like to be
A hybrid pet of a rich brunette sittin' on my mama's knee
Someone to love me someone to care
Rubberduck dubble little fingers through my hair
I need a dog's life what a life
That's good enough for me that's good enough for me

If I had a bone to be picking a picking chicken or a steak
Curled up there in an easy chair man that won't be hard to take
I'll always be faithful that's what I'd be
Never bite a hand that feeds me no siree
Just lead a dog's life what a life
That's good enough for me that's good enough for me

I'd find me a Fifi la poodle and lose my noodle over her
I chase around all over town just to ruffle up her fur
Nuzzle her muzzle a hole in her paw
Greatest case of puppy lovin' you ever saw
It's called a dog's life what a life that's good enough for me
You heard me say it now that's good enough for me
That's good enough for me

HOUSE OF SAND

(Bill Giant - Bernie Baum - Florenece Kaye) « © '65 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
Oh you can take a whole lot of sand and build a castle on the beach
And though you mold it and you plan still you got nothing in your reach

One little slip and it tumbles down one wrong step and it crumbles all around
Like a house without love that's sure to fall apart
A house of sand is an empty work of art

Oh you can build a tower of clay but if you ask my advice
Well it is worthless as I say I got no heart it's cold as ice

One little slip and it tumbles down...
[ guitar ] One little slip and it tumbles down...
A house of sand is an empty work of art
A house of sand is an empty work of art

STOP WHERE YOU ARE

(Bill Giant - Bernie Baum - Florenece Kaye) « © '65 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
Stop where you are don't move an inch
Don't come any closer now baby you'll be in a pinch

Don't start what you can't finish I warn you what's in store
If it's love you're looking to get you're gonna get what you're looking for

Stop where you are you'd better freeze
Don't fool with fire now baby don't be a tease

Don't start what you can't finish...

Don't you know you're walking on dangerous ground
Listen babe when I make love I just don't fool around
No I don't I just don't play around

Stop where you are just take it slow
Once I put my hands on you baby I won't let you go

Don't start what you can't finish...

Stop where you are don't move an inch
Stop where you are you gotta be in a pinch
Stop where you aret you're gonna get what you're looking for

(Bill Giant - Bernie Baum - Florenece Kaye) « © '65 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
This is my heaven being here with you make it last forever
This is my heaven it's a dream come true make it last forever
Come to me now and take my hand this is the paradise I plan

You're like an angel sent from up above let's stay close together
You brought me heaven when I shared your love make it last forever
Here neath the sky beside the sea this is my heaven when you come to me

SAND CASTLES

(David Hess - H. Goldberg) « © '66 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
At night when the sky is still when the south wind blows
And the air is warm there's a world that's born

And for every child on the beach
That day stands a castle tall and proud
And the warm wind crawls through the castle walls
And the nightfolk wake as the warm wind calls

At night when the sky is still...

Then the fiddler crab plays his violin
On the back of a dancing whale
While the mermaid sing to the shell they bring
And the dragon leads with his sweeping tail

At night when the sky is still...

For the rosy dawn brings the children on
To the beach that's bright and new
And the nightfolk know as the castles grow
They will play once more as the children do

At night when the sky is still...
