GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #401 (GOLQ401)
Hello and welcome to oldies lovers world-wide.
In a departure from my usual practice, this months quiz is in
text format.
That fact alone (I think) raises the difficulty level. There
are also quite a few of the more obscure tunes included. I
had considered a hybrid quiz consisting of both text and audio
formats, but I have come to realize that in the past I have
underestimated the oldies "abilities" of this group.
You folks are amazing.
None-the-less, I have constructed a certain topical theme to provide
some limited help. The intent is to recognize a certain
group of individuals, but there are peripheral topics included
as well. I think you will catch on pretty quickly.
Have fun, but stay safe everyone.

Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #401
Recordings #01-25 were from 1956 through 1969
Due 5:00 PM EST (GMT-5) on Tuesday, June 30, 2020.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Days are fun, nights with you, yeah
Nothing's bad, sure to do
Laziness is an epidemic
#01)
Behind the shelter in the
Middle of the roundabout
A pretty nurse is selling
Poppies from a tray
#02)
I'm in great danger
Out here trying to drive
The way this Ford wiggles when
I'm approaching forty-five
I have to nurse it along
Like a little suffering pup
And cars whizzing by me
#03)
One for the lonely
That star will shine its light
Each time that someone sighs
#04)
But if you don't weigh
What I want, baby
Don't come around at all
#05)
It's in trouble
If he's still hungry
The whole country's doomed
#06)
If his sweet talk is thrilling
And you think you're willing
Oh, baby, you better stay home
#07)
You told me to leave you alone
My father said, come on home
My doctor said, take it easy
Oh, but your loving
Is much too strong
#08)
Well, it ain't the measles
And it ain't the flu
Just a little old virus
Tagged Y O U
#09)
There was a virus going round
Papa caught it and he died last spring
And now Mama doesn't seem
To wanna do much of anything
#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)
When you grow up
Why don't you be a doctor?
You don't wanna be a doctor?
You wanna be a disc jockey?
#12)
If you can mend broken bones and take out kidney stones
And do a little psychiatry
Then you ought to be able to put me on the table
And take good care of me
#13)
Don't call a doctor
A nurse is worse
Cause a pill won't heal my pain
When I'm feeling blue
You know what to do
To make me feel alright again
#14)
Oh nurse I'm gonna make a new resolution
I'm never never never gonna speed again
Put a gallon in me Alan
#15)
And in a little while
The girl had seen the doctor
And she came home with a smile
#16)
I was feelin' so bad
Asked the family doctor what I had,
I said, Doctor, Doctor, Mister M.D.
Can you tell me, what's ailing me?
#17)
Yeah, the doctor told me
Boy, you don't need no pills
Just a handful of nickels
The jukebox will cure your ills
#18)
Our camp nurse
Is quite a swimmer
She says swimming
Makes you slimmer
#19)
Unlock the operating room nurse
(But she can't find her keys)
#20)
Want some lovin', baby, that ain't all
I wanna kiss her but the gal's too tall
Young man rhythm got a hold of me too
#21)
She's my nurse, she's English
And wears tissue paper in her dress
And you can hear it
#22)
I was at home watching my TV
When the noise of the phone rudely disturbed me
I wasn't too sure at first, just what the doctor meant
When he informed me that there had been an accident
#23)
I punched my buddy
In the nose after lunch
Now I'm in trouble 'cause
The dean saw the punch
#24)
What do you get when you kiss a guy
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
And I heard my baby groan
And I felt so broken-hearted
She used to be my very own
I tried so hard to keep from crying
My heart felt just like lead
She was all that I had to live for
#T1)
You say you get your jolly goods
By trotting o'er the globe
Ridin' on a camel's back
In a crimson robe
Your birth reads like a novel
As for how you came to be
You say your mummy found you
In a laughing willow tree
#T2)
