With a cat chain down to my knees
I ain't nothin' but a real cool breeze 
#01) 

A wigglin' walk
And a gigglin' talk
Makes the world go round
#02) 

A year ago we were one
Now just look at what we've done!
#03) 

He had a hopped-up cycle that took off like a gun
That fool was the terror of Highway 101
#04) 

All the girls are jealous of him
That's not really hard to see
They would never try to love him
His love belongs to me
#05) 

There's no need to be fancy
No one there will stare
Dress in all the things you usually do
There's no need to care
#06) 

Bet your bottom dollar
You and I are through
#07) 

Well, she cracked up over the solid fit
Walkin' down the street with her brand new kit
#08) 

Now she's afraid to come out of the water
And I wonder what she's gonna do
Now she's afraid to come out of the water
And the poor little girl's turnin' blue
#09) 

Everything went like I planned it
I really put on quite a show
In my heart I felt I could stand it
'Til you walked with your grip through the door
#10) 

You may not wear such pretty clothes
But when you're in my arms, you love like a rose
What do I care if I see a broken chair?
Why do I need the best kind of silverware?
#11) 

They seek him here, they seek him there
In Regent Street and Leicester Square
#12) 

John and Mitchy were gettin' kinda itchy
Just to leave the folk music behind
Zal and Denny workin' for a penny
Tryin' to get a fish on the line
In a coffee house Sebastian sat
And after every number they passed the hat
#13) 

We danced away the night
Until the morning light
Said "Time to go"
I knew we'd have to part
But sadness filled my heart
I loved her so
#14) 

Though it hurts and my body aches
From the pain it takes just to set things right
But for now I must be content
With each moment spent in her arms each night
#15) 

I was sitting at the beach just soaking up some sun
When my buddy came up to me
He said "You won't believe what is going on
But it's something you just gotta see"
#16) 

You can kill a man with a bottle of poison or a knife
I know you can
And hurt him more to take his pride and run his life
Oh it's a shame girl
Whatever you want girl
I surely hope you find, oh yeah
I tell you that hat don't fit my head
#17) 

People say you're not my kind
And that your clothes are out of line
And that your hair isn't combed all the time
#18) 

The waiter was shocked, he stood in his tracks
He jumped to the kitchen and he split right back
He had the chef by the hand
Said "Dig this chick, I think she's insane"
#19) 

This is my same old coat
And my same old shoes
I was the same old me 
With the same old blues
#20) 

I'm a poor boy born in a rubble
And some say my manners ain't the best
And some of my friends, yeah, they been in real trouble
And some say I'm no better than the rest
#21) 

Now I've got a guy and his name is Dooley
He's my guy and I love him truly
#22) 

A lassie took me to a ball
And it was slippery in the hall
And I was afraid that I would fall
#23) 

Baby's back, dressed in black
Silver buttons all down her back
High-ho, tipsy toe
She broke a needle and she can't sew
#24) 

My mama told me she didn't like that rock and roll
I said, "Please, Mama, please, Mama, you just don't know"
#25) 

Tie-breakers:

I may appear to be imperfect
My love is something you can't reject
I'm changing faster than the weather
If you and me should get together
Who knows, baby, you may comfort me
#T1) 

She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said "Be careful, his bowtie is really a camera"
#T2)
