----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
#01)
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
#02)
Did I miss the skyscrapers
Did I miss the long freeways
From the coast of California
To the shores of the Delaware Bay
#03)
But I won't set her free
She stole my love
And now she's gotta pay
One more time, yes
#04)
I, I
Used to be such a lonely guy
I cried
Until you came into my life
#05)
All our plans and all our schemes
How could I think you'd be mine
Those lies I tell myself each time
#06)
You're always howlin' 'bout where I been
You're always screamin' 'bout the money I spend
What's buggin' you
#07)
Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby
Can you tell me where he's gone
I thought I saw him walking up over the hill
#08)
Throw my ticket out the window
Throw my suitcase out there too
Throw my troubles out the door
I don't need them any more
#09)
(Silly girl)
Shame on you your mama said
(Silly girl)
Shame on you you cried in bed
#10)
To find a love like yours is rare these days
'Cause you've shown me what happiness is in so many ways
I look in the mirror and I'm glad to see
The laughter in the eyes where tears used to be
#11)
Can a kid without a cent
Get a break and maybe grow up to be President
#12)
Forget the dancin' every Friday night
I ain't a-gonna let you outta sight
I'm goin' out and buy a wedding ring
So you can start forgetting everything
#13)
Midnight
One more night without sleepin'
Watchin'
Til the morning comes creepin'
#14)
Turn left, turn right, hold tight
Lift your feet, the heart will follow
Lift your voice to the hollow
Spread your wings like a swallow
Fly away, greet the day
#15)
Come on
Take a lesson now
Open up your jar now
Spread it on your cracker now
#16)
Was that you last night
Cryin' on the radio
Beggin' for a way to go
To go back where love wasn't jumbled so
#17)
I can remember when your hair was longer then mine
Woo Since you were a little girl your love was stronger than mine
Baby you move me
Oh child you move me
Bet your bottom dollar baby you're never gonna lose me
#18)
Took a walk and passed your house
Late last night
All the shades were pulled and drawn
Way down tight
#19)
[Voice 1]
Tempo, Teddy, Tempo
[Voice 2]
Senator, we're gonna have to get these kids out of the studio
[Voice 1]
Sorry, Ethel do you want to
Kids are stepping on the musicians, Ethel
Get them out of the recording studio now I think, yes
Eunice, a little more tempo there please
#20)
Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he'd punch a whole in a dam
No one could make that ram scram
He kept buttin' that dam
#21)
The grocery store's a supermart, uh-huh
Little girls still break their hearts, uh-huh
And men still keep on marchin' off to war
'lectrically they keep a baseball score
#22)
Such a thrill
Oh when she's close to you
Well-ll hold her tight
#23)
Woh-oh-oh-oh yeah, just a little bit longer
Please, please, please, please, please
Tell me you're going to
#24)
You
Break my heart
I want to go and cry
It's so sad to watch a sweet thing die
#25)

Tie-Breakers

[Voice 1, sung]
And how can we their meanings convey
Through the thunder of ignorance and bigotry and war and death
[Voice 2, spoken]
And is not peace, in the last analysis, basically a matter of human rights
A right to live out our lives without fear of devastation
[Voice 1, sung]
We're little children
Just waiting for the games to begin
#T1)
9 of the PT boats
2 of the Yogi Bear beachballs
The ball of Silly Putty
Belong to Caroline
9 of the PT boats
1 of the Yogi Bear beachballs
And the 2 Howdy Doody plastic bouncing clowns
Are Baby John's
The rubber swan is mine
