GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #356 (GOLQ356)
Welcome to the September edition of the quiz. There are two mini-themes, each
of which encompasses roughly a half-dozen songs. One is fairly obvious, the
other less so.

And every now and then
I spend my time at rhyme and verse
And curse those faults in me
#01)
Our vacation time has come to an end
Now I gotta get back to my studies again
And make good grades so I can pass
#02)
You couldn't call him handsome
But he's loaded with style
Always wears a t-shirt
And a great big smile
#03)
One day, little girl
The sadness will leave your face
As soon as you've won
Your fight to get justice done
#04)
And these few precious days
I'll spend with you
These precious days
I'll spend with you
#05)
Yeah, double beatin'
Keep repeatin'
#06)
The fellas all tell me
You're not very pretty
They tell me to go out
With Jane or Betty
#07)
I'll be alone each and every night
While you're away, don't forget to write
#08)
Someone to hold
Someone to love
Someone to cherish
From heaven above
#09)
The many ways you speak of love, I've heard before
But it sounds so good every time
Please say the part I love just once more
Darling, I'm so glad you're mine
#10)
I don't need sunny skies for things I have to do
'Cause I stay home the whole day long and think of you
#11)
Cloudy waters cast no reflection
Images of beauty lie there stagnant
Vibrations bounce in no direction
But lie there shattered into fragments
#12)
Before you ask some girl for her hand, now
Keep your freedom for as long as you can, now
#13)
I saw you standing there
I saw your big brown eyes
And loved your raven hair
#14)
From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes
#15)
One of these early mornings, yeah
Gonna be wipin' your weepin' eyes
#16)
Although it's always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken-hearted lovers
To cry there in the gloom
#17)
Gone are the clouds
That darkened your sky
Gone are the tears
I used to cry
#18)
I walked on over, and I asked her to dance
Thinkin' maybe later on, we'll make romance
#19)
All my life, I've been shortchanged
Without your love, baby, it's a crying shame
And now I know what the fellas are talking about
When they say that they been turned out
#20)
She was wearin' ginchy garments
And her sweater fit her tight
Her imported shoedebakers
Meant some leopard lost a fight
#21)
The birds are singing and the children are playing
There's plenty of work and the bosses are paying
Not a sad word should a young heart be saying
But fun is a bore and with money I'm poor
#22)
He flirted every step of the way
I could hear every word he'd say
My resistance was getting low
And my feelings started to show
My heart started pumpin', blood pressure jumpin'
#23)
To every word of love I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain
#24)
Baby, I know we got troubles
'Cause these ain't easy times
Seems this whole world's gone crazy
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
I want it (I want it) when the lights are low
I want it (I want it) just before you go
I want it (I want it) because I love you so
#T1)
Floatin' in the river
With a saturated liver
And I wish I could forgive her
But I do believe she meant it
When she told me to forget it
And I bet she will regret it
#T2)
