Let Yourself Go
As you listen to the band dont you get a bubble?
As you listen to them play dont you get a glow?
If you step out on the floor
Youll forget your trouble
If you go into your dance
Youll forget your woe
So:
Come
Get together
Let the dance floor feel your leather
Step as lightly as a feather
Let yourself go
Come
Hit the timber
Loosen up and start to limber
Cant you hear that hot marimba?
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Relax
And let yourself go

Solitude
In my solitude you haunt me
With reveries of days gone by
In my solitude you taunt me
With memories that never die
I sit in my chair
Filled with despair
Nobody could be so sad
With gloom evrywhere
I sit and I stare
I know that Ill soon go mad
In my solitude
Im praying
Dear lord above
Send back my love
Alternative lyric:
In my solitude you haunt me
With reveries of days gone by
In my solitude you taunt me
With memories that never die
I sit in my chair

A Fine Romance
A fine romance, with no kisses
A fine romance, my friend this is
We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes
But youre as cold as yesterdays mashed potatoes
A fine romance, you wont nestle
A fine romance, you wont wrestle
I might as well play bridge
With my old maid aunt
I havent got a chance
This is a fine romance
A fine romance, my good fellow
You take romance, Ill take jello
Youre calmer than the seals
In the arctic ocean
At least they flap their fins
To express emotion
A fine romance with no quarrels
With no insults and all morals
Ive never mussed the crease
In your blue serge pants

Sam & Delilah
Delilah was a floozy
She never gave a damn
Delilah wasnt choosy
Till she fell for a swell buckaroo
Whose name was sam
Delilah got in action
Delilah did her kootch
She gave him satisfaction
And he fell neath her spell
With the aid of love and hootch
But one day, so they tell us
His true wife, he did crave
Delilah, she got jealous
And she tracked him, and hacked him
And dug for sam a grave
Its always that way with passion
So cowboy, learn to behave
Or else, youre liable to cash in
With no tombstone on your grave
Delilah, oh delilah

I Got It Bad
Never treats me sweet and gentle
The way he should
'cause i got it bad, and that ain't good
My poor heart is sentimental
Not made of wood
I got it bad, and that ain't good
But when the weekend's over
And monday rolls around
My man and me,
We pray some,
We gin some
And sin some
He don't love me
Like i love him
Nobody could
I got it bad, and that ain't good
Now folks with good intentions
Tell me to save my tears
I'm glad i'm mad about him
I can't live without him

Spring Is Here
Once there was a thing called spring
When the world was writing verses like yours and mine,
All the lads and girls would sing
When we sat at little tables and drank may wine.
Now april, may and june
Are sadly out of tune
Life has stuck a pin in the boat.
Spring is here
Why doesnt my heart go dancing?
Spring is here
Why isnt the waltz entrancing?
No desire,
No ambition leads me
Maybe its because nobody needs me
Spring is here
Why doesnt the breeze delight me?
Stars appear
Why doesnt the night invite me?
Maybe its because nobody loves me
Spring is here, I hear

I'm Just A Lucky So And So
As i walk down the street
Seems everyone i meet
Gives me a friendly hello.
I guess i'm just a lucky so and so
The birds in every tree
Are all so neighborly.
They sing wherever i go.
I guess i'm just a lucky so and so
If you should ask me the amount
In my bank account
I'd have to confess that i'm slippin'
But that don't worry me, confidentially
I've got a dream that's a pippin'
And when the day is through
Each night i hurry to
A home where love waits, i know.
I guess i'm just a lucky so and so
And when the day is through
Each night i hurry to
A home where love waits, i know.

Hows Chances?
When I want to see the boys
I know where to find the boys
I dont go through a club or two
I just find you and there are the boys
To get you alone I strive
You ask me to tea at five
I find you then with other men
And wonder when my chance will arrive
Hows chances, say, how are the chances
Of making you love me the way I love you
How many young men must I fight with
To be in right with
In right with you
Hows chances for one of those glances
A glimpse of the heaven Im longing to see
Hows chances to end all your romances
And start taking your chances with me
[alternate bridge:]
My castle will need some restoring
Ceiling and flooring

You Won't Be Satisfied
You won't be satisfied until you break my heart
You're never satisfied until the teardrops start
I tried to shower you with lovin' kisses
But all i ever get from you is naggin' & braggin',
My poor heart is raggin'
The way you toss my heart around's a cryin' shame
I'll bet you wouldn't like it if i did the same
You're only happy tearin' all my dreams apart
You won't be satisfied until you break my heart
The way you toss my heart around's a cryin' shame
I'll bet you wouldn't like it if i did the same
You're only happy tearin' all of my dreams apart
Unless you hurt me and you'd know that i'd cried
It doesn't seem as though you'll ever be satisfied
