GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #427 (GOLQ427)
At the risk of jeopardizing my on-line friendship with Mike Weaver by including
song #11 (he will understand why I say this), here is GOLQ-427, which has no
specific theme. Clue for everyone: The main part of the quiz contains only
two "statistical stumpers"; by that I mean that every song made Billboard's Top
30 except two. Further, 21 of the remaining 23 songs made Billboard's Top 20,
so there should be a lot of "low hanging fruit." Enjoy!

You are the answer to my prayer
I want to love you and I swear
To live my life with one desire:
#01)
Wanted t' go to Maine
Got a ticket on a DC plane
#02)
I wonder wonder if you love me
Guess I'll ask a star above me
When the moon is bright canary yellow
#03)
Your separate parts are not unknown
But the way you assemble them's all your own
#04)
I was a mere lad of sixteen
I've aged a year since then
#05)
Think of your fellow man
Lend him a helping hand
#06)
Why don't you mind your own business
Shut your lip, lip, lip
I know when my girl
Gimme the slip, slip, slip
#07)
You can smile
Every smile for the man who held your hand 'neath the pale moonlight
#08)
So darling hold me close to you
And love me, love me
#09)
(Spoken:)
The picnics at the park
The boat rides on the lake
The way we danced all night
#10)
Is everybody safe
Has everybody got a place to hide
Is everybody warm inside
#11)
I say everybody's got to have their day
And don't you know that
#12)
Let me tell you how I've missed you so
I didn't want you to go
'Cause I love you so
#13)
Come all without
Come all within
#14)
Bom, ma ba bom
Ba bom ba bom bom
Ba ma bom ba ba bom
Ba dangy dang dang
Ba dingy dong ding
#15)
Oh how I loved her, heaven knows
But though my heart was true,
It would never do
Party life was what she chose
#16)
Afraid to lose
If he came back
Which one would you choose
#17)
My love I offer you now
My heart and all it can give
For just as long as I live
#18)
'Cause I've got the real love
The kind that you need
#19)
When will they learn that a heart doesn't draw a line
Nothing matters if I am yours and you are mine
#20)
I do believe it
I do believe it's true
Mmm, mmm
Woah, Oh
Mmm
#21)
No muscle-bound man could take my hand
#22)
I don't want a fancy gal with powder and paint
And I don't want a woman who thinks she's a saint
#23)
Really
Couldn't get away too soon
No, no, no, no
#24)
I know you found out she's been cheatin'
And I heard she even told you she was untrue
How does it feel being on the outside, looking in
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
And now the time has come
And so, my love, I must go
And though I lose a friend
In the end you will know
#T1)
The nicest part of any melody
Is when you're dancing close to me
#T2)
