Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #300
Recordings #01-25 were from 1955 through 1968
Due 5:00 p.m. EST (GMT-5), Tuesday, January 31, 2012
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refuse to shine
#01)
If I could get my way
I'd get myself locked up today
#02)
She's in my dreams, awake or sleeping
Upon my knees to her I'm creeping
My very life, my life is in her keeping
#03)
No use in you running
Or screaming and crying
'Cause you've got a home as long as I've got mine
#04)
And someday I know (woh, yeah)
We'll walk down the aisle (yes, we will)
So much in love (woh-oh)
Wearing a smile
#05)
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be
#06)
You have words with him
And your future's looking dim
#07)
I'll beg his forgiveness on bending knee
But I wouldn't blame him if he said to me
#08)
Baby, baby, since first we met
I knew in this heart of mine (I wanna tell you)
The love we had could not be bad
I played it right and bide my time
#09)
There's a place not far from here
Everybody who's hip will know
They've got music that just won't quit
But it's the dancers that steal the show
#10)
When you move up closer to me
I get a feelin' that's oo-wee
#11)
Then you do the fly
With a hand jive
Then you do the slop
The chicken and the bop
#12)
After you've had it
You're in an awful fix
#13)
It doesn't matter if you go stag
It doesn't matter if you go drag
You're sure to have some fun
I'm telling everyone
#14)
I wonder if you know
That you're putting on a show
Could you please walk a little closer?
#15)
I've shed precious tears
The blues are mine
#16)
Yes, we're gonna let the world and all of its trouble
Go a-right on spinnin' by
We're gonna build one dream upon another
Clear up to the sky
#17)
How can I explain to you
How somebody can get so very blue
How can I tell you about my past
If all things won't end
#18)
They give their love away
To anyone who'll say "I love you"
#19)
Left alone with just a memory
Life seems dead and so unreal
All that's left is loneliness
There's nothing left to feel
#20)
Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind
Dead kings, many things I can't define
Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind
#21)
Oh baby
Yeah, come on and shake
#22)
Walkin' with a love, with a love that's oh so fine
Never to be mine no matter how I try
#23)
They say candy is sweet
But it just can't compete
#24)
I want a man to hold me tight
I want a man to kiss goodnight
If he is young and free
Just send him to me
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
Through the corridors of sleep
Past shadows dark and deep
My mind dances and leaps in confusion
I don't know what is real
I can't touch what I feel
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion
#T1)
You know I try
To keep you satisfied
But you just won't comprehend
#T2)
