GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #460 (GOLQ460)
Welcome to the ERAs quiz.
This quiz is taylor-made for GOLQsters like you and it contains many songs that
by now you should know all too well.
There are 5 Eras with 5 songs from each era.
1955-57: When It All Started
1958-60: Jukebox and Transistor radios
1961-63: The Pre-Fab Era, before four British lads changed our worlds forever
1964-66: The Golden Era of AM Radio
1967-69: Farewell to the First GOLQ Era
Diversity and inclusion apply to the choice of songs in each era.
The tie-breakers, both from the GOLQ years, are loosely connected in that they
relate to future Eras beyond those of this GOLQ.
And once again, Bob Bluestein has contributed a puzzler for your amusement and
enjoyment.
Good luck and enjoy!

When we met, I was sure out to lunch
#01)
Then you will find your true love will be
Someone who cares for you and wants to make you happy
#02)
I left some biscuits for the pup
I put fresh water in his cup
And now I'm off, I'm gonna live it up
#03)
Well now, some may call me Joe
And some may call me Moe
Just remember
#04)
What would I give for just a few moments
What would I give just to have you near
Tell me you will try
#05)
If you want him to be
Always by your side
Take his hand tonight
Swallow your foolish pride
#06)
Got your cable just today
Killed my groove, I've got to say
#07)
While the cats are ballin'
You better stop your stallin'
It's intermission in a minute
So you better get with it
#08)
The girl I love, she, up and left me
She ran away with my best friend
Comes home at night just for an hour
When daylight comes she's gone again
#09)
Please read my letter closely
It's beneficial to you
Must read in-between the lines
#10)
Her name was Sue, yes
His name was Earl
His love was Lorraine
She's a wonderful girl
#11)
Well, I saw a gal walkin' down the street
The kind of a gal I'd love to meet
She had blond hair and eyes of blue
#12)
Train is a-tootin' its long, lonesome call
Wheels are clicking their way down the track
Countin' the days till he's coming back
#13)
I don't mind when you lend my clothes
My jewelry and such
But, honey, let's get somethin' straight
There's one thing you don't touch
#14)
Well, I never felt more like a-runnin' away
But why should I go
#15)
Now I must hang up the phone
#16)
You think I'm a fool, you treat me like dirt
You pull the string and hope I will be your friend
But I know what's on your mind
So I'd rather stay out in the street without a dime
And I'd rather
#17)
I stood there, torn between two loves
My Fred and my Jim
Jim was gone for so long
Yet I knew I still loved him
But then Fred showed his true love
He wouldn't stand in our way
#18)
You said you'd be good to me
But baby, you didn't even try
Well I make it alright
From Monday mornin' 'til Friday night
#19)
Now I know, I know that it's true
#20)
You say you're gonna make me
Turn the lights down low
You said you're gonna make me
Feel all a-glow
Well, I don't know
#21)
Where the New York City winters aren't bleedin' me
#22)
Wonderin' how I made it
And how long it's gonna last
Success has come to lots of them
And failure's always there
Time, time waits for no one
#23)
Talk about a girl with a sweet disposition
You oughta have a room full of ribbons
And wear 'em in your hair
Everyday of the week for me
#24)
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your tremblin' hand
One key unlocks them both you know
And it's at a-your command
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
What have you done, uh huh huh
Slippin' slidin' down-a Highway 31, mm mm mm
The traffic lights changed from green to red
They tried to slow but they both wound up dead
Someone's gonna make you pay your fare
Someone's gonna make you pay your fare
#T1)
No one tried to say a thing
When they carried him out in jest
Except, of course, the little neighbor boy
Who carried him to rest
And he just walked along, alone
With his guilt so well concealed
And muttered underneath his breath
"Nothing is revealed"
#T2)
