If you knew Peggy Sue, then you'd know why I feel blue

Without Peggy, my Peggy Sue

Oh well, I love you gal, yes I love you, Peggy Sue

 

 

Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue, oh how my heart yearns for you

Oh, Peggy, my Peggy Sue

Oh well, I love you gal, yes I love you, Peggy Sue

Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, Peggy Sue

A-oh, Peggy, my Peggy Sue

Oh, well, I love you gal and I need you, Peggy Sue

 

 

I love you Peggy Sue, with a love so rare and true

A-oh, Peggy, my Peggy Sue

Well, I love you gal, I want you, Peggy Sue

                                  PEGGY  SUE  GOT  MARRIED   (Buddy Holly)

_________________________________________________________________

 

 

Please don't tell, no-no-no

Don't say that I told you so

I just heard a rumor from a friend

 

 

I don't say that it's true

I'll just leave that up to you

If you don't believe I'll understa-a-and

 

 

You recall a girl that's been in nearly every song

This is what I heard, of course the story could be wrong

 

 

She's the one, I've been told

Now she's wearing a band of gold

Peggy Sue got married not long ago-o-o

                                QUEEN OF THE BALLROOM  (Don Guess)

_________________________________________________________________

 

 

You're the queen of the ballroom

You're in every ma-an's arms

When I look upon you

How you thrill me with your charms

 

You have all the men at your feet

With your lovely lovely ways

And I will love you forever and al-always

 

May I have, may I have this da-a-a-ance ?

Now I know you're looking for fun, not romance

 

You're the queen of the ballroom

And I love you more and more

Queen of the ballroom

Queen of the ballroom floor

 

May I have, may I have this da-a-a-ance ?

Now I know you're looking for fun, not romance

 

You're the queen of the ballroom

And I love you more and more

Queen of the ballroom

Queen of the ballroom floor

                                RAINING IN MY HEART  (B & F Bryant)

_________________________________________________________________

 

 

The sun is out, the sky is blue

There's not a cloud to spoil the view

But it's raining, raining in my heart

 

 

The weatherman says clear today

He doesn't know you've gone away

And it's raining, raining in my heart

 

 

Oh misery, misery

What's gonna become of me ?

 

 

I tell my blues they mustn't show

But soon these tears are bound to flow

'Cause it's raining, raining in my heart

 

 

But it's raining, raining in my heart

 

 

And it's raining, raining in my heart

 

 

Oh misery, misery

What's gonna become of me ?

 

 

I tell my blues they mustn't show

But soon these tears are bound to flow

'Cause it's raining, raining in my heart

Raining in my heart

Raining in my heart

Well, I'm just out of school

Gonna keep a-swingin'

Baby I'm a real wild child

 

 

Gonna meet all my friends

Gonna have myself a ball

Gonna tell my friends

Gonna tell them all

Gonna break loose

Gonna keep a-movin' wild

Gonna keep a-swingin'

Baby I'm a real wild child

In a world gone crazy

Ev'rything seems hazy

                                         REMINISCING  (King Curtis)

_________________________________________________________________

 

 

I'm just sittin' here reminiscin'

Wonderin' who you've been kissin'

Baby, woh-a-oh baby

I've been wanderin' all around

There must be a new guy in town

You don't love me any more

I'll get over you-a-oo baby

Although my heart's still sore

Well, you know my heart's still sore

 

 

When I think of all the lies you told

You're a junkman, my heart you've sold

You're a cheater and a mean mistreater

When I think of all the fun we had

Kind of makes me feel so sad

I'm lonely for your love

And the longest day I live

It's only you that I'll be thinkin' of

You know I'm thinkin' of

Well, it's you I'm thinkin' of

Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

Well it's Saturday night and I just got paid

I'm a fool about my money, don't try to save

My heart says "go go, have a time"

Saturday night and I'm feelin' fine

 

Gonna rock it up, gonna rip it up

Gonna shake it up, gonna ball it up

We're gonna rock it up, and a ball tonight

 

Well along about ten I'll be flying high

I'll rock on out unto the sky

I don't care if I spend my dough

It's Saturday night I'm a happy, happy soul

 

Gonna rock it up, gonna rip it up

Gonna shake it up, gonna ball it up

Gonna rock it up, and a ball tonight - owww
