GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #286 (GOLQ286)
In my last quiz (#279) in April, I wrote "... as the Yankees begin pursuit of
their 28th championship." Update: Never mind.
There are no intended global themes, although one mini-theme connects 4 of
the recordings. Enjoy!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can hear the choo-choo callin' me on
To a fancy new address
Yes, I can hear that choo-choo callin' me on
Onboard the Happiness Express
#01)
If you need love and affection
Come to my lovin' arms
I'll be your shield and protection
I won't do you no harm
#02)
Gonna throw the picture away
You didn't love me any old way
You found somebody new
And our romance is through
#03)
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
#04)
And that we'll never part
And you know that I need you
I'm keeping you here in my heart
#05)
But when you made your wish, dear
I was wishin' too
That I'd be sayin' "Happy Birthday"
Your whole life through
#06)
But when Saturday rolls around
I'm too tired for havin' fun
#07)
And she causes quite a stir
Just by walkin' in the room
Oh, I wish I were her
Now you're dancing very near her
Just like sweethearts do
#08)
Everything seems lovely
When you start to roam
But here's what you'll be saying
When you're far from home
#09)
Did you know lies can be seen in your eyes?
And from wrong you'll never be free
No use in cryin'
#10)
Half out, half in
Not quite out of love with you
Not too much in love with him
#11)
I done told you, big bad bulldog
#12)
She was long and lean
And you know what that means
She's a good lovin' mama
A hard-workin' woman
She makes a lot of money
I don't have to worry about a thing
#13)
All that I am askin'
All I want from you
Just love me like I love you
And it won't be hard to do
#14)
Just like they did it back in 1910
#15)
Eyes that hypnotize
And all it takes is just one glance
Just one look at him
Puts me in a lover's trance
#16)
There's a whole generation
With a new explanation
#17)
You did me dirty
But you'll get yours one day
#18)
Well, she goes struttin' down the street
In her sophisticated style
The way she's dressed was a-knockin' 'em wild
The cats started gapin' 'til they called her out
#19)
You've been runnin' all over town, now
Oh, guess I have to put your flat feet on the ground
#20)
For every little kiss, there's a little teardrop
For every single thrill, there's another heartache
The road is rough, the going gets tough
#21)
Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor's lives
Rich man, poor man, beautiful daughters, wives
#22)
Every day, there's something new
You pull out your bag and your fine to-do
You got me trying new things too
Just so I can keep up with you
#23)
You take some music, music
Sweet flowin' music
Some movin' and groovin'
#24)
It was only yesterday
Your words are still fresh in my mind
Baby, you said long as rivers flow, each day you'll love me more
Now you wanna leave me behind
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
I wanna tell her that I love her a lot
But I gotta get a belly full of wine
#T1)
Do the sugarfoot rag, side by side
A-flyin' low and a-flyin' wide
#T2)
