UNCHAINED MELODY

(Hy Zaret - Alex North) « © '55 Frank Music, ASCAP »
Oh my love my darling I've hungered for your touch
Alone lonely time
Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much
Are you still mine
I need your love I need your love
God speed your love to me

Oh my love my darling I've hungered for your touch...
My love my darling oh my love my darling oh

THERE IS SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND

(Cecil J. McNeely) « © '63 Big Jay Swings Publishing, BMI »
There is something on your mind
By the way you look at me
There is something on your mind pretty baby
By the way you look at me

What you're thinking bring me happiness
Or will it bring me misery

No no please don't try to tempt me
No I think I understand
No pretty please don't try to tempt me please pretty baby
Yes I think I understand
You want me to try to try to try to forget you
Oh I think I'm doin' I think I'm doin' the best I can

Do you ever think about me
Yeah do I ever ever cross your mind
Well baby do you ever think about me
Tell me baby do I ever ever ever cross your mind
Oh I know yes yes I know
Oh you'll never ever ever baby be mine
Do do do do do do do do

MR. JONES

(John D. Loudermilk) « © '61 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Mr Jones I'd like to speak to you for a moment if you don't mind
I love your daughter and your daughter she wanna mine

Yeah Mr Jones please be seated I know what's running through your mind
I love your daughter and your daughter she wanna be mine

Yeah I work in a shoe store on main street make about fifty dollars every week
But I'll work hard and get a raise if you'll just let me have her for always

Mr Jones don't get excited cause we've already made up our minds
I love your daughter and your daughter she wanna be mine
[ harmonica ] Well I'll treat her good and buy her things like a lots of furs and diamond rings
I'll buy her a cottage a car and a boat if you'll be kind enough to go on our note

Mr Jones don't get mad we'll get along won't we dad
Cause I love your daughter and your daughter she wanna be mine
[ harmonica ] Yeah Mr Jones don't get mad we'll get along won't we dad...

HANG UP THE PHONE

(Joe Simmons - Johnny Brandon - Stuart Wiener) « © '62 Wemar Music, BMI »
(Hang up the phone before I cry
Hang up the phone before I die)

Well I just called you up to say hello (hello)
And to say that I still love you so
Then heard a voice and asked who's there with you
Heard you answer just my brother Loui

Well hang up the phone before I cry
Oh hang up the phone before I die
For our love can never ever be
And by the way your brother's here with me

There's nothing you can do to ease the pain
Let's both forget and try to start again
Go tell the guy that's takin' you from me
That he can have you now I set you free

Well hang up the phone before I cry...

Hang up the phone hang up the phone
Hang up the phone hang up the phone
Hang up the phone hang up the phone

LITTLE PIECE OF MY HEART

(Otis Blackwell - Winfield Scott) « © '62 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Everytime you make me cry can't you see it in my eye
It tears away a little piece of my heart
Now when everything is gone and you do another wrong
It tears away another piece of my heart

Tell me darling must we act like children
And play with love like like some old toy
For what he gave us we should feel tenderness toward one another
Happiness understanding love and joy
Surely there must be a way
And somehow darling somehow we must find that way
For he would never forgive us and we would never be blessed
With such a love again

All I want from life is you but this way that we go through
You tear away a little piece of my heart

COMFY'N COZY

(Otis Blackwell - Winfield Scott) « © '62 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
Here we are in a warm embrace
As cozy as a kitten by a fireplace
The lights are dim with a mellow glow
The musics playing soft and low

And everything's rosy oh yea comfy'n cozy uh huh
Everything's rosy yea yea comfy'n cozy hmm hmm hmm

Let's forget the whole world outside
Nothing else matters just you and I
Let's unhook the old telephone
Cause we just wanna be left alone

With everything's rosy yea yea yea momfy'n cozy uh huh huh
Everything's rosy yea yea yea comfy'n cozy hm hm hm hm

I put another log on the fireplace
But I can't stand leaving your embrace hm hm hm hm

Baby now everything's rosy oh yeah comfy'n cozy uh huh
Everything's rosy oh yeah comfy'n cozy uh huh
Everything's rosy yea yea

I HOPE I THINK I WISH

(Jimmie Day) « © '62 Tree Publishing, BMI »
The telephone is ringing I hope it's been ringing all day I think
It's my darling begging me to let her come home I wish
Doing fine alone I hope she can't live without me I think
She regrets the day she let me lose her I wish

Sometimes I think well and then again I think sometimes
I no longer understand guess that's why the sun never shine
I hear someone knocking I hope I won't answer right away I think
It's her answer just wanna stay and love me forever I wish

PICK-UP

(Conway Twitty) « © '62 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I saw her walkin' down the street I tell you all she sure looked neat
Lovely eyes and long black hair she looked so lovely standing there
Man's she's great think I'll ask her for a date

I guess I look just like a clown gettin' up and fallin' down
Hangin' on a parking meter burnin' like a red hot heater
What a walk c'mon mouth and talk that talk

You know I couldn't make a sound
My head was goin' round I was speechless yeah
My mind was in a whirl cause talkin' to a girl is my weakness
[ sax ] I guess I look just like a clown...
You know I couldn't make a sound...
[ guitar ] I guess I musta caught her eye cause instead of walking by
She walked right up and with a smile said c'mon boy I like your style
Will I date her so long boys I'll see you later...

GOT MY MOJO WORKING

(Preston Foster) « © '62 Dare Music, BMI »
I got my mojo working but it just don't work on you
Yeah I got my mojo working but it just don't work on you
I want to love you so bad I don't know what to do

I'm goin' down to Louisiana gonna get me a mojo hand
Goin' down to Louisiana gonna get me a mojo hand
Gonna have all you women right here at my command

Yeah I got my mojo working I got my mojo working
I got my mojo working I got my mojo working
Oh I got my mojo working but it just won't work on you
[ trumpet - guitar ] I got a gypsy woman givin' me advice
I got a gypsy woman givin' me advice
I got bad foot tricks I got to keep that chick on ice

Yeah I got my mojo working...

SWEET GEORGIA BROWN

(Ben Bernie - Maceo Pinkard - Kenneth Casey) « © '25 Remick Music »
No gal made has got a shade on sweet Georgia Brown
Two left feet but oh so neat that my Georgia Brown
They all sigh and wanna die for sweet Georgia Brown
I'll tell you no lie boy you know I don't lie much
But it's been said she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town
Since she came why it's a shame how she cools 'em down
Fellers she can't get are fellers she ain't met
Georgia claimed her Georgia named her she's my Georgia Brown oh yeah
[ sax - guitar ] No gal made has got a shade on my Georgia Brown
Two left feet but oh so neat that my Georgia Brown
They all sigh and wanna die for sweet Georgia Brown
I'll tell you no lie boy you know I don't lie
It's been said she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town
Since she came why it's a shame sow she cools 'em down
Fellers she can't get are fellers she ain't met
Georgia claimed her Georgia named her he's my Georgia Brown
Oh yeah she's my Geoegia Brown uh huh
She's my ever lovin' George Brown Sweet Georgia
