GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #291 (GOLQ291)
Welcome to GOLQ291! All 25 songs and the two tie breakers are linked
together with a relatively easily recognizable theme that should help
identify the many middle-of-the-chart songs and the few real "stumpers."
Enjoy!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
She's got eyes so bright
Sky blue
A voice so soft
Just like the morning dew
#01)
I am the egg man
#02)
Both their hearts are in tune with a love song
Every promise they make they mean
For true love is the treasure of treasures
When you're only seventeen
#03)
One, two, kiss-a-lirio
Kiss, two, we're delirio
And we soon may hear-io
Oh, promise me
#04)
Get away from my chick
#05)
We get along so well
I know just why I fell
She's thrillin', oh, chillin'
Yes, she's so divine
#06)
She's changed her rags to perfume
And she's got me all confused
Her picture's on the front page, y'all
She finally made the news
#07)
Now all you chicks agree
That this ain't the way it's supposed to be
Let me hear you, let me hear you say, "yeah, yeah"
#08)
The last time I saw her, man what a shape
Now she's got a shape like an egg
#09)
You know it's drivin' me mad
'Cause when I look in his eyes
I can see it, paradise
So I can't help it
#10)
She does all this and you wouldn't surmise
This chick needs no disguise
Here's a thing that would be the prize
#11)
She's a trip into space in a rocket for two
She's sequins and laces and bubble gum too
She's stolen the heart that I'm happy to lose
#12)
Who is the chick I would pick as the absolutely perfect miss for me to kiss
Who is the girl who can twirl me around her little finger when we kiss again
#13)
You're the spirit of Christmas
My star on the tree
You're the Easter Bunny
To Mommy and me
#14)
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
#15)
To look into her baby blue eyes
Right down to her dainty shoe size
I know when I see her
There's nothing left to say
#16)
Come on, woman
Gonna treat you right
Give you candy kisses
Every single night
#17)
Your lips are warm on Friday night
The next two days you hold me tight
But when it's done, you always run
And I'm alone
#18)
Presley records, hair spray and jelly beans
#19)
You know I used to sing
A tisket a tasket
A green and yellow basket
#20)
It wasn't on a Sunday
Monday and Tuesday went by
#21)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Whip it on me now
Feels so good
Now that you're home
#22)
I remember Sunday morning
I would meet him at the park
We'd walk together hand in hand
'Til it was almost dark
#23)
An old man would be so grateful
You could just let him sit and talk
But a young man is somewhere busy
Doing the camel walk
#24)
Ought to see her with her hair hung down
Ain't no finer girl in town
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
He's got jelly beans for Tommy
Colored eggs for sister Sue
There's an orchid for your mommy
#T1)
I'll be all in clover and when they look you over
I'll be the proudest fellow
#T2)
