GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #315 (GOLQ315)
I am flattered to have been asked to be a guest QM for this, the April 2013
edition of the quiz. I have been having fun with GOLQs since about 1995 and
welcome the opportunity to try to "give back" and to give the regular QMs a
bit of a break.
All songs reside within the 1955 to 1969 (inclusive) time period.
There are no intended themes because I'm not that clever, but I hope
everyone has fun with quiz none-the-less.

Due 5:00 p.m. EDT (GMT-4), Tuesday, April 30, 2013
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whenever I hear a drummer
Play that funky beat
I drop everything and
Get out of my seat
#01)
And then a flash from above
Lightning, Lightning
Lightning, Lightning
Just like our love
It was exc-i-i-i-ting
exc-i-i-i-ting
#02)
Well I looked at my watch and it was ten-o-five
And man I didn't know if I was dead or alive
#03)
Someone's radio
Has the news tuned in
But nobody cares what he's saying
#04)
I can't wheel, I can't deal
Since you walked out on me, yeah
Holy smoke, what you doin' to me, yeah
#05)
Down by the malt shop
Shortly thereafter
Met another girl
About as cute as she could be
#06)
Oh he's dancing with another
And he's holding her so tight
Wish I had the nerve to cut right in and stop it
But a girl has to be polite
#07)
Cleopatra sailing down the Nile with Marc
Was huggin' and kissin' and happy as a lark
But suddenly she ran her fingers through his hair
Stopped and said "well I declare"
#08)
I got a gal and she sure looks classy
Smooth as a car with a fiberglass chassis
Spicy as a magazine and twice as sassy
#09)
I only met you just a couple of days ago
I only met you and I want your loving so
#10)
But if you find the right boy to marry
Life can be a bowl of cherries
#11)
We've been goin' steady for such a long time
And up until now everything was just fine
You say you still love me, but it's not the same
It's so plain to see that you're playing a game
#12)
He's might handy
With a gun and a knife
#13)
I got holes in both of my shoes
Well I'm a walkin' case of the blues
Saw a dollar yesterday
But the wind blew it away
#14)
Once I meant the world to her
She used to hold me close to her
Then she went and said goodbye
She couldn't care now if I live or die
#15)
I'm just about
At the end of my rope
But I can't stop trying
I can't give up hope
#16)
Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
And the seagulls they'll be smilin'
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
#17)
When your kisses start to getting good
That's when you end it
When you know how much on you my dear
My love depended
#18)
Did you ever mean those sweet things
Ah, that you used to say
Did you mean 'em baby
Of a house with a lovely, lovely garden
And a little baby someday
#19)
All right, I warned ya now
(woooosh)
Oh me, if Gramma hadn't run me so bad,
I wouldn't be so outta air.
#20)
And what about your dad
Did you think of what he'll say
Will he be understanding
Or does he think in the usual way
#21)
Your lips are my lips
My heart is your heart
Never let us be further than
Just a breath apart
#22)
Sometimes we stand on the top of a hill
And we gaze at the earth and the sky
I turn to you and you melt in my arms
There we are darling, only you and I
#23)
She used to hold me close at the picture show
That was when she really, really loved me so
Then he came along
Like the stormy sea
#24)
You pretended to be mine
How could you be so unkind
With all the other girls
You played
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
On my last birthday oh-oooh-oh
He said this is my heart oh-oooh-oh
And while you wear it oh-oooh-oh
We'll never be ap-a-a-art
Though someday he may give me rubies
And a diamond ring
#T1)
So please Mr. Mailman
Take away the letter
It's just a sad memory
No, Mr. Mailman the sooner I forget her
The better off I'll be
She didn't say "I love you"
Or "I'm thinking of you"
#T2)
