My Girl Bill Composer(s): Jim Stafford Performer(s): Jim Stafford
Bill walked me to my door last night And he said, "Before I go There's something about our love affair That I have a right to know" I said, "Let's not stand out here like this What would the neighbours think? Why don't we just step inside And I'll fix us both a drink"
My girl, Bill My, my girl, Bill Can't say enough about the way I feel About my girl, (My girl, my girl), my girl Bill
William's hands were shaking As he took his glass of wine And I could see we both felt the same And when his eyes met mine I said, "Who we love and why we love It's hard to understand Let's just sit here on the couch And face this, man to man"
My girl, Bill My, my girl, Bill Can't say enough about the way I feel About my girl, (My girl, my girl), my girl, Bill
"Bill, you know we just left her place And we both know what she said She doesn't want to see your face And she wishes you were dead! Now, I know we both love her And I guess we always will But you're gonna have to find another 'Cause she's my girl ...... Bill!"
My girl, Bill My, my girl, Bill Can't say enough about the way I feel About my girl, (My girl, my girl) Talkin' 'bout my little girl My girl, Bill
My girl, Bill My, my girl, Bill Can't say enough about the way I feel About my girl, (My girl, my girl), my girl, Bill ...

I've got a Teenage Heart Now that we are apart Though we're just seventeen Somehow we seem much older
I don't know where to start I guess I play the part of Every teenage boy whose lost His real true love
And to our senior friends We were like all of them But now that we're apart They call us Teenage Heart They call us Teenage Heart
I've got a Teenage Heart Now that we are apart Only you come back to me And our love will be much older And our love will be much older And our love will be much older
Goodbye Girl Composer(s): David Gates Performer(s): David Gates; Hootie & The Blowfish; Martin Nievera; Eric Shea
All your life you've waited for love to come and stay and now that I have found you you must not slip away I know its hard believing the words you've heard before but darling you must trust them this once more Because baby, goodbye doesn't mean forever Let me tell ya goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again If you wake up and I'm not there I won't be long away 'cause the things you do my goodbye girl will bring me back to you I know you've been taken afraid to hurt again You fight the love you feel for me instead of giving in Well, I can wait forever for helping to see that I was meant for you and you for me So remember goodbye doesn't mean forever Let me tell ya goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again Though we maybe so far apart, you still would have my heart So forget your past, my goodbye girl 'cause now your home at last
My Girl Composer(s): Eric Carmen Performer(s): Eric Carmen
Sometimes it's hard to know What your heart is feelin' And harder still to put it into words Love is simple, you can't define it It's not the words but the thought Behind it that counts
My girl She's everything a lover could possibly be My girl Makes love the way I always dreamed it would be
Deep down inside I know What I should be saying But every time I try, it comes out wrong Well our love is a love forever And when we're all alone together She shows me
My girl She's everything a lover could possibly be My girl Makes love the way I always dreamed it would be
I'd need a lifetime To show her all the love I have to give And hold her in my heart For as long as I live (We'll stick together Like the moon and the night-time Happy forever I could spend my lifetime) So in love with
My girl She's everything a lover could possibly be My girl Makes love the way I always dreamed it would be
I can picture the boys 'over there' Making plenty of noise 'over there' And if I'm not wrong It won't be long Ere a certain song will fill the air It's all very clear The time's drawing near When they'll be marching down to the pier, singing:
Goodbye France We'd love to linger longer but we must go home Folks are waiting to welcome us across the foam We were glad to stand side by side with you Mighty proud to have died with you So goodbye France You'll never be forgotten by the U.S.A.
They are waiting for one happy day When the word comes to start on their way With a tear-dimmed eye They'll say goodbye But their hearts will cry, Hip-hip hooray The friends that they made Will wish that they stayed As they start on their homeward parade, singing
Goodbye France We'd love to linger longer but we must go home Folks are waiting to welcome us across the foam We were glad to stand side by side with you Mighty proud to have died with you So goodbye France You'll never be forgotten by the U.S.A.

Teddy Bear Song Composer(s): Don Earl - Nick Nixon Performer(s): Barbara Fairchild
I wish I had button eyes and a red felt nose A shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes Sittin' on a shelf in a local department store With no dreams to dream and nothin' to be sorry for
I wish I was a teddy bear Not livin' or lovin' nor goin' nowhere I wish I was a teddy bear And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind Then your mem'ry wouldn't come around hurtin' all the time I'd have a sewed-on smile and a painted twinkle in my eye And I never would have ever had to learn how to cry
I wish I was a teddy bear Not livin' or lovin' nor goin' nowhere I wish I was a teddy bear And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
I wish I had a string you could pull to make me say "Hi, I'm Teddy-ain't it a lovely day?" Then I'd know every time I spoke the words were right And none would know the mess I made of my life
I wish I was a teddy bear Not livin' or lovin' nor goin' nowhere I wish I was a teddy bear And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
My Gee Gee From The Fiji Islands Composer(s): Lew Brown; Albert Von Tilzer
Hiram Perkin, got tired of workin' on the farm each day So he wandered down to see the circus in the town Saw the animals, and the cannibals when they came on view Then he flirted with a wild wild woman
and they got real friendly too When Hiram got back home, the folks all gathered by his side They said, "Where were you what did you see?" and Hiram replied
Hiram giggled each time she wiggled he was gone for fair Followed her around until the circus left the town Told the friends he knew he was going to sell his farm next day They thought he was going crazy so they called the doctor right away The doctor felt his head and said There's something wrong inside I can't diag'nose it what can it be?" and Hiram replied
Oh! Gee! say gee, you ought to see my Gee Gee From the Fiji Isle Gosh Gee, say Gee, you ought to be with Gee Gee She can make you smile Rings inside the nose Bells upon her toes And I'm here to tell you that she's some high kicker Her kick is like the kick in home made liquor She's got a lingo as funny as By Jingo, you know what I mean And she does a twister, much better than her sister, silly Chili Bean Over here, over there, she's a little but bare So she wears a lot of leaves to protect her from the air Oh! Gee, say gee, you ought to see my Gee Gee From the Fiji Isle
Goodbye Cruel World Composer(s): Gloria Shayne Performer(s): James Darren; Bobby Vee
Oh, goodbye cruel world, I'm off to join the circus Gonna be a broken-hearted clown Paint my face with a good-for-nothin' smile 'cause a mean, fickle woman turned my whole world upside down
(Goodbye cruel world)
Farewell to love, I'm off to join the circus Gotta find a way to hide my tears Bet I'll have them rolling in the aisle And I'll forget that woman if it takes a hundred years
Oh oh oh, step right up and take a look at a fool He's got a heart as stubborn as a mule C'mon everybody, he's good for a laugh And no one could tell his heart is broken in half
Well, the joke's on me, I'm off to join the circus Oh, Mr. Barnum, save a place for me Shoot me out of a cannon, I don't care Let the people point at me and stare I'll tell the world that woman, wherever she may be That mean, fickle woman made a cryin' clown outta me
(Goodbye cruel world)
Shoot me out of a cannon, I don't care Let the people point at me and stare I'll tell the world that woman, wherever she may be That mean, fickle woman made a cryin' clown outta me
My Garden Of Love Composer(s): Benny Hill Performer(s): Benny Hill
The sun and the rain fell from up above And landed on the earth below In my garden of love
Now theres a rose for the way my spirits rose when we met A forget-me-not to remind me to remember not to forget A pine tree for the way I pined over you And an ash for the day I ashed you to be true
And the sun and the rain fell from up above And landed on the earth below In my garden of love
Now theres a palm tree that we planted when we had our first date A turnip for the way you always used to turnip late Your mother and your cousin, Chris, they often used to come So, in their honour, I have raised a nice chris-an-the-mum
And the sun and the rain fell from up above And landed on the earth below In my garden of love
Now theres a beetroot for the day you said that youd beetroot to me A sweet pea for the sweet way you always smiled at me But you had friends who needed you There was Ferdy, there was Liza So, just for them, I put down a load of ferdy-liza
And the sun and the rain fell from up above And landed on the earth below In my garden of love
But Gus the gardeners left now and you went with him, too The fungus there reminds me of the fun Gus is having with you Now the rockerys a mockery, with weeds its overgrown The fuchsias gone, I couldnt face the fuchsia all alone
And my tears fell like raindrops from the sky above And poisoned all the flowers in my garden of love
