Little Bo Peep Has Lost Her Jeep Composer(s): Frank De Vol - Jerry Browne Performer(s): Spike Jones
Private Jackson had a girl He fondly called Bo Peep Now Jackson didn't have a car So drove by in a jeep
They took a ride, the time flew by And Bo Peep was in Heaven 'Til Jackson cried, "Bo Peep, This jeep's gotta be in camp by eleven"
So little Bo Peep has lost her jeep And don't know where to find it Her soldier boy took it back to camp And left Bo Peep behind it
It didn't have doors, the seats were hard But Bo Peep never minded It didn't ride like a Cadillac She wondered who designed it
Roller coasters nearly killed her Aeroplanes they never thrilled her But with Jackson at the wheel She got that jeep, jeep, jeep appeal
Now little Bo Peep wants to find her jeep And find her soldier chappy If he comes chug-chuggy in his old Blitz buggy Bo Peep will be happy
Now little Bo Peep has lost her jeep Her boyfriend made an error He let her drive, goodness sakes alive That Bo Peep, she's a terror
The throttle pushed down, she tore through town The red lights didn't stop her The soldier knew that they both were through When she side swiped a copper
Now little Bo Peep has lost her jeep Oh my, why must her joy end? Now her little jeep is layin' in a heap And the guardhouse has her boyfriend

You are everything and more to me as my kisses have told I keep asking when again you'll be mine to have and to hold Deep in the darkness when love is aflame heaven is in my possession For you are my magnificent obsession, you're my magnificent obsession

The Little Blue Man Composer(s): Paul Klein - Fred Ebb First release by: Betty Johnson - 1958
One morning when I was out shopping Though you'll find it hard to believe A little blue man came out of the crowd And timidly tugged at my sleeve
"I wuv you! I wuv you!" said the little blue man "I wuv you! I wuv you to bits!" "I wuv you!" He loved me, said the little blue man And scared me right out of my wits
I hurried back to my apartment I rushed in and I closed the door But there on my desk stood the little blue man Who started to tell me once more
"I wuv you! I wuv you!" said the little blue man "I wuv you! I wuv you to bits!" "I wuv you!" He loved me, said the little blue man And scared me right out of my wits
For weeks after that I was haunted Though no one could see him but me Right by my side was the little blue man Wherever I happened to be
"I wuv you! I wuv you!" said the little blue man "I wuv you! I wuv you to bits!" "I wuv you!" He loved me, said the little blue man And scared me right out of my wits
One evening in wild desperation I rushed to a rooftop in town And over the side pushed the little blue man Who sang to me on the way down "I wuuuuv youuuu!"
I whispered, "Thank goodness that's over!" I smiled as I hurried outside But there on the street stood the little blue man Who said with a tear in his eye "I don't wuv you anymore"

Magic Town Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil Performer(s): The Vogues
They told me the streets were all paved with gold But these dirty sidewalks are gray and concrete cold They said neon lights were a beautiful sight But how 'bout the one blinking in my room all night
And where's the magic in this magic town? Where's the good life they said could be found? Where's the magic to make all my big dreams come true I gotta find it, girl, before I send for you
They said in this town you get rich in no time But here I am and I'm down to my last dime I just don't know why I bother to try When nobody here gives a hang if I live or die
And where's the magic in this magic town? Where's the good life they said could be found? Where's the magic to make all my big dreams come true I gotta find it, girl, before I send for you
And where's the magic in this magic town? Where's the good life they said could be found? Where's the magic to make all my big dreams come true I gotta find it, girl, if it can be found
Little Bit Of Heaven Composer(s): Mark Spiro Performer(s): Pia Zadora
I used to wonder how everybody other than me found someone to love They must have been given a stroke of a little bit of luck But deep in my heart was a place and a part That only the right one could fill Well my prayers must have all gone through
'Cause somebody up there sent me you
And now I've found my little bit of heaven I'm feeling like an angel 'Cause now I've fouild my little bit of heaven I'm feeling more than able To give you all the secrets nobody ever knew
And put the past behind me
forget about what I have been through
'Cause now I've found my little bit of heaven in you
Now every day just shows another way How a little bit of love can grow the ups and downs
Through the sunshine and ram And the highs and the lows But I'll just keep believing in the love I've been feeling
And take it one day at a time
'Cause my prayers have all come true
And somebody up there sent me you And now I've found my little bit of heaven ... And now I've found my little bit of heaven ...
Now that I've found my little bit of heaven I'm feeling like an angel Now that I've found my little bit of heaven I'm feeling more than able Now that I've found my little bit of heaven I'm feeling like an angel Now that I've found my little bit of heaven I'm feeling more than able
My friends all said I'd never learn to dance In fact, they said I didn't stand a chance The dancin' contest, time to show them moves Then I found these magic shoes
Oh...shocked the crowd when sparks flew from my feet As I started groovin' with the beat Oh, people better watch your Ps & Qs `Cause I've got magic shoes
Oh...I feel it's now my turn to love Their winning chance is less than half The judges votes have all been cast I come out first instead of last
People are amazed at my control The secrets hidden underneath my soul Oh, I've no longer got wallflower blues `Cause I've got magic shoes
Oh...
Ah...ah...ah...ah...
People are amazed at my control The secrets hidden underneath my soul Oh, I've no longer got wallflower blues `Cause I've got magic shoes Magic shoes
Little Bird, Little Bird Composer(s): Joe Darion - Mitch Leigh
Anselmo, Pedro: (two Muleteers) Little bird, little bird In the cinnamon tree Little bird, little bird Do you sing for me? Do you bring me word Of one I know? Little bird, little bird I love her so Little bird, little bird I have to know Little bird, little bird Beneath this tree This cinnamon tree We learned to love We learned to cry For here we met And here we kissed And here one cold and moonless night We said goodbye
Anselmo: Little bird, little bird Oh have pity on me Bring her back to me now 'Neath the cinnamon tree I have waited too long Without a song Little bird, little bird Please fly, please go little bird, little bird And tell her so Little bird, little bird
Magic Power Composer(s): Rik Emmett; Michael Levine; Gil Moore Performer(s): Triumph; Hugo
Something's at the edge of your mind, you don't know what it is Somethin' you were hopin' to find but your not sure what it is Then you hear the music and it all comes crystal clear The music does the talkin' says the things you want to hear
I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free I got the magic power of the music in me I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free I got the magic power of the music in me
She climbs into bed, pull the covers overhead and turns her little radio on She's had a rotten day so she hopes the DJ's gonna play her favorite song It makes her feel much better, brings her closer to her dreams A little magic power makes it better that it seems
She's young now, she's wild now, she wants to be free She gets the magic power of the music in me
If you're thinkin' it over but you just can't sort it out Do you want someone to tell you what they think it's all about Are you the one and only who's sad and lonely, reachin' for the top Well the music keeps you goin' and it's never gonna stop Never gonna stop Never gonna, never gonna, never gonna stop
The world is full of compromise, and infinite red tape But the music's got the magic, it's your one chance for escape So turn me on - turn me up - it's your turn to dream A little magic power makes it better than it seems
I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free I got the magic power of the music in me I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free I got the magic power of the music in me

Magic Moments Composer(s): Hal David; Burt Bacharach Originally performed by: Perry Como Covered by various other artists
Magic moments, when two hearts are carin' Magic moments, mem'ries we've been sharing
I'll never forget the moment we kissed the night of the hay ride The way that we hugged to try to keep warm while takin' a sleigh ride
Chorus Magic moments, mem'ries we've been sharin' Magic moments, when two hearts are carin' Time can't erase the memory of These magic moments filled with love
The telephone call that tied up the line for hours and hours The Saturday dance I got up the nerve to send you some flowers
Chorus
(The way that we cheered whenever our team was scoring a touchdown) The time that the floor fell out of my car when I put the clutch down (The penny arcade, the games that we played, the fun and the prizes) The Halloween hop when everyone came in funny disguises
Little Arrows Composer(s): Albert Hammond - Lee Hazlewood Performer(s): Leapy Lee
There's a boy--a little boy--shooting arrows in the blue And he's aiming them at someone but the question is at who Is it me or is it you? It's hard to tell until you're hit But you'll know it when they hit you cause they hurt a little bit
Here they come falling out of the blue--little arrows for me and for you You're falling in love again, falling in love again Little arrows in your clothing, little arrows in your hair when you 're in love you'll find those little arrows everywhere Little arrows that will hit you once, and hit you once again Little arrows that hit everybody every now and then
Whoa-oh-oh the pain
Some folks run and others hide, but there is nothing they can do And some folks put on armor, but the arrows go straight through So you see, there's no escape, so why not face it and admit That you love those little arrows when they hurt a little bit
Here they come falling out of the blue--little arrows for me and for you You're falling in love again, falling in love again Little arrows in your clothing, little arrows in your hair when you're in love you'll find those little arrows everywhere Little arrows that will hit you once and hit you once again Little arrows that hit everybody every now and then

Magic is the moonlight On this lover's June night As I see the moonlight Shining in your eyes
Can't resist the power In this moonlit hour Love began to flower This is paradise
Living in the splendor Of your kiss so tender Make my heart surrender To a love divine
Magic is the moonlight More than any June night Magic is the moonlight For it made you mine
