Wake up little
Susie
Wake up little Susie, wake
up
Wake up little Susie, wake up
We've both been sound asleep
Wake up little Susie and weep
The movie's over, it's four o'clock
And we're in trouble deep
Wake up little Susie, wake up little Susie
We gotta go home
Wake up little Susie, wake up!
Wake up little Susie, wake up!
The movie wasn't so hot
It didn't have much of a plot
We fell asleep, our goose is cooked
Our reputation is shot
Wake up little Susie, wake up little Susie
Well, what are we gonna tell your mama
What are we gonna tell your pa
What are we gonna tell our friends when they say ooh-la-la
Wake up little Susie, wake up little Susie
Well, I told your mama that you'd be in by ten
Well, Susie baby, looks like we goofed again
Wake up little Susie, wake up little Susie
Well, what are we gonna tell your mama
What are we gonna tell your pa
What are we gonna tell our friends when they say ooh-la-la
Wake up little Susie, wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie
Runaround
Sue
Here's my story, sad but true
It's about a girl that I once knew
She took my love then ran around
With every single guy in town
Ah, I should have known it from the very start
This girl will leave me with a broken heart
Now listen people what I'm telling you
A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue
I miss her lips and the smile on her face
The touch of her hair and this girl's warm embrace
So if you don't wanna cry like I do
A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue
Ah, she likes to travel around
She'll love you but she'll put you down
Now people let me put you wise
Sue goes out with other guys
Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows
I fell in love and my love still grows
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say
Keep away from-a Runaround Sue
She likes to travel around
She'll love you but she'll put you down
Now people let me put you wise
Sue goes out with other guys
Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows
I fell in love and my love still grows
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say
Keep away from-a Runaround Sue
Under the
boardwalk (Artie Resnick - Kenny Young) 1964
Oh, when the sun beats down
And burns the tar up on the roof
And your shoes get so hot
You wish your tired feet were fireproof
Under the boardwalk
Down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby
Is where I'll be
(Under the boardwalk) Out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be having some fun
(Under the boardwalk) People walking above
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be falling in love
(Under the boardwalk, boardwalk)
In the park you hear
The happy sound of the carousel
You can almost taste the hot dogs
French fries they sell
Under the boardwalk
Down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby
Is where I'll be
(Under the boardwalk) Out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be having some fun
(Under the boardwalk) People walking above
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be falling in love
(Under the boardwalk, boardwalk)
Oh, under the boardwalk
Down by the sea
On a blanket with my baby
Is where I'll be
(Under the boardwalk) Out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be having some fun
(Under the boardwalk) People walking above
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be falling in love
(Under the boardwalk, boardwalk)

Well, that's all right, mama

Tennessee
waltz (Redd Stewart - Pee Wee King)
I was dancin' with my darlin'
To the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced him to my lover
And while they were dancin'
My friend stole my lover from me
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I am in love
Yes, I lost my little darlin'
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I am in love
Yes, I lost my little darlin'
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
Hang on sloopy
Hang on Sloopy, Sloopy hang on
Hang on Sloopy, Sloopy hang on
Sloopy lives in a very bad part of town
And everybody tries to put my Sloopy down
Sloopy let your hair down girl
Let it run down on me
Sloopy let your hair down girl
Let it run down on me
Let me hear you say
Hang on Sloopy, Sloopy hang on
Hang on Sloopy, Sloopy hang on
Come on come on sloopy girl
Come on come on yeiyea
Come on come on sloopy girl
Come on come on
Now let me hear you say
Hang on Sloopy, Sloopy hang on
Hang on Sloopy, Sloopy hang on
Yeah...
His latest flame
A very old friend came by today
'Cause he was telling everyone in town
About the love that he just found
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
He was gone but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry
He talked and talked and I heard him say
That she had the longest blackest hair
The prettiest green eyes anywhere
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
He was gone but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry
Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
Take good
care of my baby (Gerry Goffin - Carole King)
My tears are fallin' 'cause you've taken her away
And though it really hurts me so
There's something that I've gotta say
Take good care of my baby
Please don't ever make her blue
Just tell her that you love her
Make sure you're thinking of her
In everything you say and do
Ah, take good care of my baby
Now don't you ever make her cry
Just let your love surround her
Paint a rainbow all around her
Don't let her see a cloudy sky
Once upon a time that little girl was mine
If I'd been true, I know she'd never be with you
So, take good care of my baby
Be just as kind as you can bee
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me
Well, take good care of my baby
Be just as kind as you can bee
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me
Ah, take good care of my baby
Well, take good care of my baby
Just, take good care of my baby
Cotton Fields
When I was a pretty little baby
My mama use to rosk me in the craddle
In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texacana
In them old cotton fields back home
When I was a pretty little baby
My mama would use to rosk me in the craddle
In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texacana
In them old cotton fields back home
Well when them cotton boats get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texacana
In them old cotton fields back home
When I was a pretty little baby
My mama use to rosk me in the craddle
In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texacana
In them old cotton fields back home
Stand by
me (Ben E. King, - Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won´t be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand
by me
Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me,
oh now now stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Darlin', darlin', stand by me-e, stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Boppin'
The Blues (Carl Lee Perkins/C. Griffin)
Well all my friends are boppin' the blues, it must
be goin' 'round
All my friends are boppin' the blues, it must be goin' 'round
I love you honey, but I must be rhythm bound
Well the doctor told me, boy you don't need no pills
Yeah the doctor told me, son you don't need no pills
Just a handfull of nickels, the jukebox will cure your ills
All my friends are boppin' the blues, it must be

All my friends are boppin' the blues, it must be goin' 'round
I love you baby, I must be rhythm bound
Rock, bop, rhythm and blues

Rock, bop, rhythm and blues
Rhythm and blues, it must be goin' 'round!
Hallelujah I
love her so
Let me tell you about a girl I know
She's my woman and I love her so
Every morning when the sun comes up
She brings me coffee in my favourite cup
That's why I know, yes I know
Hallelujah I just love her so
I'm in trouble and I have no friends,
I know that she will go with me til the end
Ev'rybody asks me how I know
I smile at them and say she told me so
That's why I know, yes I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so
When I call her on the telephone
And says hey baby, I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four
I hear her - on my door
In the evening when the sun goes down
And there´s nobody else around
She kisses me and she holds me tight
And says baby everything is alright
That's why I know, yes I know
Hallelujah I just love her so
When I call her on the telephone
And says hey baby, I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four
I hear her - on my door
In the evening when the sun goes down
And there´s nobody else around
She kisses me and she holds me tight
And says baby everything is alright
That's why I know, yes I know
Hallelujah I just love her so
