GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ (GOLQ) #130 OK, vacation's over. Back to school time. Once again, I get to follow a tough (IMHO) GOLQ, but that's life, as Frank and Gabriel were telling me. This one might be a little harder than the last one I did, but I'm sure you're all up to the challenge. Some of the songs have been used before. The tie-breakers share a theme. E-mail (DO NOT POST) answers to GOLQ&hotmail.com (new e-mail address being tried out this quiz). The deadline is 5:00 PM EDT (GMT-4) Tuesday, Oct. 6, 1998. Try to e-mail early, since entries occasionally get delayed or lost due to Internet problems. Please keep in mind I like to post results within 24 hours of the deadline. If you're concerned about your entry, you can call me at 781-273-2035, or send a message to my regular e-mail. If you do not have the official GOLQ Rules (a posted copy of the rules should follow a posted copy of this quiz on most sites), then you may read them at the following web address: ftp://bobcat.bbn.com/pub/golq/FAQ/rules There have been no recent changes to the rules. Have fun, everyone! -- Rich Ardini REA01803&msn.com [replace '&' with '@'] 781.273.2035 _______________________________________________________________________ Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #130 Songs #01-25 were from 1956 through 1969 Due 5:00 PM ET, Tuesday, October 6, 1998 _______________________________________________________________________ The gassed and flaccid kids are flung across the stars The psychodramas and the traumas gone The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars #01) I worked and slaved the summer through Doin' the things my mother told me to do I washed the dishes and scrubbed the floor And taught the baby how to count to four #02) All the chapel bells were ringing 'Twas a great day in his life 'Cause the songs that they were singing Was for Jimmy and his wife #03) Tonight my love we'll share a sweet embrace You'll soon forget there's any other place #04) Just promise me this That'll you'll give me all your kisses Every summer, every winter, every fall #05) Take a look at the world and the state that it's in today I am sure you'll agree, we ought to make it a better way With our love, we're together, everybody learn to love each other Instead of fussing and fighting, cheating, back-biting, Scandalizing and hating #06) Oh, I played my games, many times before But peoples, let me tell y'all Oh, I never reached a door But, oooh, the wind is out tonight I keep looking back, but my baby's not in sight I would like to start all over again #07) There's a boy outside, his name is Tom He wants to take me to the prom #08) Well, I tossed a lot of nickels in a wishing well And saved the fortunes that the fortune cookies tell I got a lucky penny and a mustard seed But a warm and tender love is all I need #09) And so forgive me, if I seem to you, my friend That I ain't got no pity for you, for that ain't true You see I lost my, lost my, lost my little girl, too #10) But if I'd been a man in reality You'd still be here, babe, lovin' me Now the nights are long and lonely And I ain't too strong, babe, I just miss you so #11) So here's to the golden moon And here's to the silver sea And mostly, here's a toast to you and me #12) Have you heard when love begins to die It leaves someone to cry, night and day Like a bird, you left your robin's nest And just like all the rest, you flew away #13) And if I'm not first on your list Count me blue #14) Girl, don't you know we could work it out with talking You won't turn around or slow down your walking I've given you everything with a kiss to seal it You had to get your kicks out of trying to steal it #15) You called me on the telephone and said "Now Suzie dear You're being might silly in believing all you hear You know I love you only, so Suzie save your breath" But since my name is Cindy Lou, I figured I was #16) I wants to t-tire for pretendin' You dig me on a scooby-doo I dig you on a scooby-die You ol' boog-a-boo you You ol' boog-a-boo you, little girl #17) Why do they always pass me by?
