GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #448 (GOLQ448)

Welcome to GOLQ448.
AM radio is heading towards extinction. This week, a government hearing was held
to discuss keeping AM radio accessible in automobiles. For me and many others,
it was AM radio that introduced me to the music and lyrics that has fueled the
GOLQ for all these years. So while this quiz has no official theme, I consider
all the regular songs as AM radio songs first. The tie-breakers are somewhat
easy for this quiz. And once again, Bob Bluestein has contributed a puzzler for
your amusement and enjoyment.
Good luck and enjoy!

And he keeps his pockets full of spending loot
#01) 

We'll settle down in a bamboo hut
And he will be my own little cocoanut
Then we'll be beachcombing royalty
On wicky-wicky wacky Waikiki
#02)

Now my broken heart aches
With every wave that breaks
#03) 

The birds no longer sing
Some devil told my angel
A lot of lies
And now my tears are falling
#04) 

Now there's only one left down there to save
#05)

A little waitress comes to set you down
She's got the best frog legs in town
There's a welcome sign hanging on the door
So don't you be afraid to ask for more
#06) 

And now I'm sorry for the things I didn't say
'Cause I know now I acted in a foolish way
(Oh yeah) uh-huh-huh, (oh-yeah) oh-oh-yeah

Are you really wise (really wise)
Do you realize
That those devil eyes (devil eyes)
#08) 

A little trick with Nick
#09) 

Well now looking all around what did I see
Every school kid that could ever be
They come from Pittsburgh, Chicago and Boston, too
New Orleans, San Diego and old St. Lou
#10) 

You've been gone a week
And I tried so hard
Not to be the cryin' kind
Not to be the girl you left behind
#11) 

And when you're old and grey 
You will remember what they said
That two girls are too many 
Three's a crowd and four you're dead
#12) 

You don't know how I feel
You'll never know how I feel
Oh, when I needed you to come around
You always tried to bring me down
#13) 

Drop a dime before I walk away
#14) 

I'll stage a ballet on a table-top
Command performance, finger-size
Though I ain't got no tune my show won't flop
'Cause I'll find the music in your eyes
#15) 

But this boy keeps coming around
Trying to wear my resistance down
#16) 

There's a place out Hollywood way
Where the crowd all goes to play
They jump and shout and have a ball
And let me tell you that ain't all
They do the

Pull them little strings and I'll sing you a song
#18) 

In the daytime, Mary Hill was a teaser
Come the night, she was such a pleaser

Yesterday I waited for you
At the corner candy store
The way I always do
The hours passed, the gang went home
And I was left there all alone
Waiting just for you

You never walk alone
And you're forever talking on the phone
I try to call you names
But every time it comes out the same

And how is the weather?

You meant the world to me
And anyone could see

Sugar will be sweet love, yeah
Baby, just like you
A-yeah-yeah-yeah
Baby just like you
A-yeah-yeah-yeah
Baby just like you

I know she's the kind of girl 
Who'd throw my love away

Tie-Breakers

I know if you'd seen her you'd tell me 'cause you are my friend
Well, I've got to find her and find out the trouble she's in
If you tell me that she's not here
I'll follow the trail of her tears
#T1)

In a world that was small
I once lived in a time that was peace, with no trouble at all
But then you came my way
And a feeling unknown shook my heart, made me want you to stay
All of my nights and all of my days

PUZZLER

Submission of an entry for this section is optional. Your participation or
performance has no bearing whatsoever on your quiz score or ranking.

This Puzzler works exactly like a Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz, except that
it's a Golden Oldies Trivia Quiz, that is to say, the clues are statements
about 27 recordings instead of portions of those recordings' lyrics. One of
the tie-breakers is neither a single nor an album cut.

There is no particular theme. However, there is a secret message within the
Puzzler's answers, encoded as follows:

21-4,10-2,11-3,03-7,09-2,15-1,13-4,23-3,25-2,06-3,23-5,13-2,05-4,04-2,18-2,
03-2,09-4,04-6,01-7,11-5,01-5,06-2,17-7/22-2,24-4,16-2,18-5,02-3,12-1,07-3,
12-5,19-3,16-3,20-1,14-3,25-5,08-1

Happy decoding!
