GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #445 (GOLQ445)
Welcome to GOLQ445! As with GOLQ431, this quiz has a few sub-themes, some of
which are only meaningful to me in a somewhat personal 2023 in review. But also
like GOLQ431, one of the sub-themes is the inclusion of some songs I could have
included for past themes but didn't for one reason or another. (There's even a
song I intended to use in GOLQ431 but forgot to include!) And while I thought
GOLQ431 was the only earlier quiz in which I used this sub-theme, I discovered
recently that I also used it in GOLQ259 and GOLQ357!

How you gonna keep that honey you got
Hunkies, hunkies fish that bite
I'm gonna see my honey tonight
#01)
Oh please say to me
You'll let me be your man
And please say to me
#02)
But I'm not acting strange
Welcome home
Nothing's wro-ong
So I'm sayin'
Baby, baby, baby
#03)
Another fella told me
He had a sister who looked just fine
Instead of being my deliverance
She had a strange resemblance to a cat named Frankenstein
#04)
I built me a castle
With dragons and kings
And I'd ride off with them as I stood by my window
And looked out on those
#05)
I want a girl like you
Tell my troubles to
Don't be afraid
You heard what I said
#06)
How I love him
He's got something that I can't resist
But he doesn't even know that I-I-I exist
#07)
When we marry we will have a time you never saw
I will be so happy I will kiss me mother-in-law (phooey)
Children by the dozen in and out the bamboo hut
One for every palm tree and coconut (hurry up now)
#08)
Mom, dad all 'round the fire
In festive attire keeping the day
Aunts, kids, all the relations
Congratulations this is success
What a great life it must seem
#09)
Big Sam left Seattle in the year of '92
With George Pratt his partner
And brother Billy too
#10)
Like I told you once before
This fussin' and fightin' they'll be no more
I will make this promise to you
Just to prove my love is true
#11)
This old man
He played two
#12)
I'm gonna tell her that I love her
That I miss her every day
That my heart just longs to be in
#13)
Roses are red
And all of the leaves have gone green
While the hills are ablaze with the moon's yellow haze
Come into my arms
#14)
Oh hold him darlin'
Please hold him tight
And brush the tear from your eye
You weep because you had a dream last night
You dreamed that he said goodbye
#15)
I hitchhiked all the way down to Memphis
Got a room at the YMCA
For the next three weeks I went huntin' them nights
Just lookin' for a place to play
#16)
I was standing on the corner
When I heard my bulldog bark
#17)
Young girls picked them every one
When will they ever learn?
#18)
When I see you again
Your servant am I
And will humbly remain
#19)
There is a yellow one that won't accept the black one
That won't accept the red one
That won't accept the white one
#20)
Drums keep poundin' rhythm to the brain
La-de-da-da-dee la-de-da-da-dah
Charleston was once the rage uh-huh
#21)
There's a drag strip down by the riverside
Where my grandma's cow used to graze
Now the grass don't grow and the river don't flow
Like it did in my childhood days
#22)
I saw my dreams fall apart
When love walked away from my heart
And when you lose that precious love you need
To guide you
#23)
Yes, I used to have many lovers
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah
Now they have gone and found themselves others
Now I'm alone, just as lonely as can be
#24)
Tell it to me slowly
Tell you why
I really want to know
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
I would converse in Polar Bear and Python
And I would curse in fluent Kangaroo
If people ask me, "Can you speak Rhinoceros?"
I'd say, "Of cours-e-ros. Can't you?"
#T1)
No daughter of mine can push me around
In my house I'm the master
But when the Beatles came into town
Gad, what a disaster!
#T2)
