                    SEND ME SOME LOVIN'  (John Marascalco - Lloyd Price)

_________________________________________________________________

 

 


Send me some loving, send it I pray

How can I love you when you're far away

 

Send me your picture, send it my dear

So I can hold it, pretend you are near

 

Can't you send me your kisses, I can feel their touch

I need you so badly, I miss you so much

 

My days are so lonely, my nights are so blue

I'm here and lonely, I'm waiting for you

 

Can't you send me your kisses, I can feel their touch

I miss you so badly, I need you so much

 

My days are so lonely, my nights are so blue

I'm here and I'm lonely, I'm waiting for you

Well, get out from that kitchen and a-rattle those pots and pans

Get out from that kitchen and a-rattle those pots and pans

Well, a-roll my breakfast, 'cause I'm a hungry man.

Well, you wear those dresses the sun comes shining through

Yeah, you wear those dresses the sun comes shining through

I don't believe my eyes, I'm gonna dance with only you

 

 

Well, everybody now -

I said shake rattle and roll, shake rattle and roll

Shake rattle and roll, shake rattle and roll

Well, you won't do right to save your doggone soul

 

 

I said, over the hill and way down underneath

I said, over the hill and way down underneath

You make me roll my eyes, and baby, make me grit my teeth

Well, I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a sea-food store

I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a sea-food store

I can look at you girl, you don't try no more

På väg mot nattens nirvana


slingrande på en ytterbana


men en tjej som såg ut som Jimmy Dean


och med fordringar som ingen kunde ana


Hon sa: Ska vi älska, så ska vi älska till rock'n'roll - aha


Ska vi älska, så ska vi älska till rock'n'roll


Jag satta på Rolling Stones och "Satisfaction"


Elvis Costello and the Attractions


Hon sa: Fan, vad är det här? Vad är det för modern skit?


Fram med 45:orna med lite action


för Ska vi älska, så ska vi älska till Buddy Holly - aha


Ska vi älska, så ska vi älska till Buddy Holly

cos he's my favourite, honey...

Men var fanns "Peggy Sue" och "It's so easy"


och "Guess it doesn't matter anymore"


Hon sa: Too bad, boy men sån är min stil


jag hoppas att du förstår...


Ska vi älska, så ska vi älska till Buddy Holly - aha


Ska vi älska, så ska vi älska till Buddy Holly

                      SMOKEY  JOE'S  CAFÉ  (Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)

_________________________________________________________________

 

One day while I was eating down at Smokey Joe’s Cafe

A-sittin’ there readin’ down at Smokey Joe’s Cafe

A chicken walked in through the door

That I had never seen before

At least I never saw her down at Smokey Joe’s Cafe

And it scared me when she sat right down next to me

 

Her knees were almost touching mine at Smokey Joe’s Cafe

A chill was runnin’ down my spine at Smokey Joe’s Cafe

I could smell her sweet perfume

She smiled and made my heart go boom

And everybody in the room at Smokey Joe’s Cafe

They said, “Be careful - that chick belongs to Smokey Joe”

 

And from behind the counter - I saw a man

A chef’s hat on his head and a knife in his hand

He grabbed me by the collar and began to shout

“You better eat up all your beans, boy and clear right on out!”

 

Well, I know I’ll never eat again at Smokey Joe’s Cafe

And so I’ll never see again at Smokey Joe’s Cafe

I’d rather eat my chili beans at Jim’s or Jack’s or John’s or Gene’s

Than take my chances eating down at Smokey Joe’s Cafe

I risked my life when that Smokey Joe’s a crazy fool

                        SOFT PLACE IN MY HEART  (Bob Montgomery)

_________________________________________________________________

 

I've got a soft place in my heart for you

And the dreams it's caused no one will ever know

 

I guess you know dear my love has always been true

Now there's nothing left to say or do but go

 

These bitter tears I've shed for you are all in vain

But if you decide you want me back again

 

Just come back dear and I'll no longer be so blue

I've got a soft place in my heart, my darling, for you

 

These bitter tears I've shed for you are all in vain

But if you decide you want me back again

 

Just come back dear and I'll no longer be so blue

I've got a soft place in my heart, my darling, for you

Take your time I can wait

For all the love I know will be mine

If you take your time

Take your time and take mine too

I have time to spend

Take your time go with me through

Times 'til all times end

 

Take your time I can wait

For all the love I know will be mine

If you take your time

 

Take your time and take mine too

I have time to spend

Take your time go with me through

Times 'til all times end

 

Take your time I can wait

For all the love I know will be mine

If you take your time

Take your time

    THE STAGE (STARS IN HEAVEN) Waylon Jennings' tribute (Bill Tilghman)


_________________________________________________________________

	W A Y L O N    J E N N I N G S

In a vision I can see


stars that meant the world to me


and in the vision it's the same as long ago.


I see a stage beyond compare


and all the stars are assembled there


they sing the songs of yesterday we all loved so.



As the curtain opens wide


he makes his entrance from the side


a mighty cheer brings Eddie Cochran on.


Summertime Blues brings a happy roar


the crowd cheers loud as they call for more,


but it seems he just gets started, then he's gone.


The curtain moves, a guitar rings,


this brings forth the La Bamba King


young Ritchie Valens in a happy, Spanish style


and as he sings so true and clear


his young voice rings for all to hear as he sings Donna


we can all see his happy smile.


The curtain opens wide again,


he stands in the center with a phone in his hand.


Hello Baby, it's the Big Bopper speaking


we hear him say. Ah, he talks a while,


then he'll sing a note he laughs and jokes in his leopard skin coat.


The crowd laughs and cheers as we watch the Bopper walk away.


The crowd has finally settled back,


I know it's time now for the final act.


There stands Buddy Holly smiling,


standing tall, his voice is clear,


his guitar rings, the angels stand in silence.


As Buddy sings he sings Oh Boy and Peggy Sue


in the happiest style of all.


We've had the final curtain call


and if you've seen any of my vision at all,


then you've truly seen the greatest show of all.

           TELL ME HOW  (Charles Hardin - Norman Petty - Jerry Allison)

_________________________________________________________________

 

 

Tell me how to keep your love

You know how I need your love

Tell me how you keep the love

Within your heart from me

 

Don't you know that I love you

Let me show why I'm true blue

When I know our love is true

Don't keep your love from me

 

If you would say to me today

The time for love is now

Could I sway your love my way

Then I say tell me how

 

Tell me how to keep your love

You know how I need your love

Tell me how you keep the love

Within your heart from me

 

If you would say to me today

The time for love is now

Could I sway your love my way

Then I say tell me how

 

Tell me how to keep your love

You know how I need your love

Tell me how you keep the love

Within your heart from me

Tell me how you keep the love

Within your heart from me

Well, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye

Ye-ess, that'll be the day, when you make me cry-y

You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie

'Cause that'll be the day when I die

 

Well, you give me all your loving and your turtle doving

A-all your hugs and kisses and your money too

We-ell, you know you love me baby, until you tell me, maybe

That some day, well I'll be through

 

Well, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye

Ye-ess, that'll be the day, when you make me cry-y

You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie

'Cause that'll be the day when I die

 

Well, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye

Ye-ess, that'll be the day, when you make me cry-y

You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie

'Cause that'll be the day when I die

 

Well, when Cupid shot his dart he shot it at your heart

So if we ever part and I leave you

You sit and hold me and you tell me boldly

That some day, well I'll be blue

 

Well, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye

Ye-ess, that'll be the day, when you make me cry-y

You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie

'Cause that'll be the day when I die

 

Well, that'll be the day, woo hoo

That'll be the day, woo hoo

That'll be the day, woo hoo

________________________________________________________________

Buddy Holly - THAT'S MY DESIRE

To spend one night with you in our old rendezvous

And reminisce with you, that's my desire

To meet where gipsies play down in some small café

And dance till break of day, that's my desire

 

We'll sip a little glass of wine, I'll gaze into your eyes divine

To feel the touch of your lips pressing on mine

 

To hear you whisper low just when it's time to go

"Cherie I love you so," that's my desire

We'll sip a little glass of wine, I'll gaze into your eyes divine

To feel the touch of your lips pressing on mine

 

To hear you whisper low just when it's time to go

"Cherie I love you so," that's my desire

THAT'S MY DESIRE - Buddy Holly

There comes a time for ev'rybody

When true love will come your way

There comes a time for ev'rybody

That's what they tell me

That's what they say

 

I didn't hear them say a word

Of when that time would be

I only know that what they say

Has not come true for me

 

You just keep waiting

And love will come your way

That's what they tell me

That's what they say

 

There comes a time for ev'rybody

When true love will come your way

There comes a time for ev'rybody

_________________________________________________________________

THINK IT OVER - The Crickets

Think it over, what you've just said

Think it over in your pretty little head

Are you sure that I'm not the one?

Is your love real or only fun?

You think it over, yes think it over

A lonely heart grows cold and old

 

 

Think it over and let me know

Think it over, but don't be slow

Just remember, all birds and bees

Go by twos through life's mysteries

You think it over, yes think it over

A lonely heart grows cold and old

 

 

Think it over and think of me

Think it over and you will see

A happy day when you and I

Think as one and kiss the blues goodbye

You think it over, yes think it over

A lonely heart grows cold and old

 

 

Think it over (over and over)

Think it over (over and over)

Think it over (over and over)

And these girls 'bout to drive me wild

Yeah I'm just a poor young boy
