Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice
And say it's very nice and then you run
Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done

Well I dated your big sister
And I took her to the show
I went for some candy
Along came Jim Dandy
And they snuck right out the door

Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice
And say it's very nice and then you run
Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done

Everytime I see your sister
Well she's got somebody new
She's mean and she's evil
Like a little old boll weevil
Guess I'll try my love with you, ah

Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice
And say it's very nice and then you run
Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done

Well, I used to pull your pigtails
And pinch your turned up nose
But you've been a-growin'
And baby it's been showin'
From your head down to your toes

Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice
And say it's very nice and then you run
Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done

Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done
Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done

Makin' Whoopee
Composer(s): Gus Kahn; Walter Donaldson
Originally performed by: Eddie Cantor
Covered by various other artists



Another bride, another June
Another sunny honeymoon
Another season, another reason
For makin' whoopee

A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
The groom is nervous, he answers twice
Its really killin' that he's so willin' 
To make whoopee

Picture a little love nest 
Down where the roses cling
Picture the same sweet love nest 
Think what a year can bring

He's washin dishes and baby clothes
He's so ambitious he even sews
But don't forget folks
Thats what you get folks, for makin' whoopee

He doesn't make much money
Five thousand dollars per
Some judge who thinks he's funny
Says, "You pay six to her"

He says, "Now judge, suppose I fail?"
The judge says, "Budge, right into jail
You'd better keep her
I think it's cheaper
Than making whoopee"

Little Pal
Composer(s): Lew Brown - Buddy De Sylva - Ray Henderson - Al Jolson
Performer(s): Al Jolson
and multiple other artists



Little Pal, if Daddy Goes away
Promise you'll be good from day to day
Do as Mother says and never sin
Be the man your Daddy might have been
Your Daddy didn't have an easy start
So this is the wish that's in my heart

What I couldn't be, Little Pal
I want you to be, Little Pal
I want you to laugh and to sing and to play
And be good to Mother while Daddy's away

Each night how I'll pray, Little Pal
That you'll turn out right, Little Pal
So till we meet again
Heaven knows where or when
Pray for me now and then, Little Pal

Makin' Up And Breakin' Up
Composer(s): Jimmy Holvay
Performer(s): The Buckinghams



Ever since I gave you my ring, girl
We just don't seem, seem to get along
One day we're so, so in love, girl
The next day it's all gone

I know I love you, girl, and I know you care
Why can't we stick together, girl?
'Cause it just ain't fair (just ain't fair)
No it just ain't fair (just ain't fair)
No it just ain't fair

To our hearts, girl (just ain't fair)
To keep them apart, girl (just ain't fair)
No it just ain't fair (just ain't fair)
No it just ain't fair (just ain't fair)
So let's stop makin' up and breakin' up and makin' up again
Let's live our lives while we can
(Together) while we can
(Together) while we can

One day we're so, so in love, girl
The next day it's all gone

I know I love you, girl, and I know you care
Why can't we stick together, girl?
'Cause it just ain't fair (just ain't fair)
No it just ain't fair (just ain't fair)
No it just ain't fair

If You Could Touch Her At All
Composer(s): Lee Clayton
Performer(s): Waylon Jennings
and multiple other artists



Funny a woman can come on so wild and free
Yet insist I don't watch her undress or watch her watch me
And stand by the bed and shiver as if she were cold
Just to lie down beside me and touch me as if I were gold
One night of love don't make up for six nights alone
I'd rather have one than none
Lord, I'm flesh and bone
Though sometimes it seems she ain't worth the trouble at all
She can be worth the world if somehow you can touch her at all
Right or wrong a woman can own any man
She can take him inside her and hold his soul in her hand
Then leave him as weary and weak as a newborn child
Fighting to get his first breath and open his eyes
One night of love...

Makin' The Best Of A Bad Situation
Composer(s): Dick Feller
Performer(s): Dick Feller;
Ray Stevens; Tom Jones



Now, I know a man, he's a hard workin' man
He gets up real early, and he goes down town
And about fifteen minutes after he's been gone
There's a big milk truck pulls up on the lawn
And that milkman rushes up to the door
Where that man's wife is waitin' in a kimono
And she plants a big ol' kiss on his cheek and they go inside
And that truck never moves for an hour or two

Well it's none of my business
One day I called him aside and told him what was goin' on
While he was gone
And he said, "Well I guess that's so, but do you know
We're never outta' milk or cottage cheese or yogurt, ice cream, or
none of them other cowy things"

I guess he's makin' the best of a bad situation
Don't wanta make waves, can't you see
He's just makin' the best of a bad situation
Reckon I'd do the same if it was me

Now I know a man, he's an educated man
He's an alligator wrestler
He jumps right in there and grabs them long green boogers
By whatever you grab them long green boogers by...
Well, one day he's got a full Nelson on this big alligator
When this other alligator sneaks up and bites his right ear plumb off
Didn't bat an eye, just crawled off in the shade and went to sleep
The alligator not the man

Well, it's none of my business
One day I said, "Well, it's sure too bad about that little accident that you had
'Cause now your hat's gonna fall down over your eyes
And you can't ever be gypsy
'Cause you don't have no place to wear a gold earring"
He just looked me right straight in the eye and said, "Huh?"

I guess he's makin' the best of a bad situation
Don't wanna make waves, can't you see
He's just makin' the best of a bad situation
Reckon I'd do the same if it was me

Now I know a lady, she's a mighty fine lady
Got a heart of gold, she wouldn't harm a fly
She's just tryin' to get by and keep her house in order
But you know that her husband
He worked so hard that he come unglued
He come unwrapped, he just snapped, thinks he's a chicken
That's right, one of them cackling Colonel Sanders' types
He roosts in the bush by the side of the house

Well it's none of my business but one day I said
"Have you ever thought about findin' him a doctor who could make him well"
And she said "Well, I have now and then, but then again
He don't eat much, just chickenfeed
And all that peckin' in the ground don't hurt nothin'
Heaven knows, we can use the eggs"

I guess she's makin' the best of a bad situation
Don't wanna make waves, can't you see
She's just makin' the best of a bad situation
Reckon I'd do the same if it was me

We're all just makin' the best of a bad situation
We're all in this together you and me

Performer(s): Dean Martin; Arthur Godfrey



Makin’ love, ukelele style
You don’t have to be in Waikiki
Makin’ love, ukelele style
To a lovely ukelele serenade
When you love, ukelele style
With every note your heart will float
Faraway to a tropic isle
While a ukelele tune is softly played

Strolling along beneath the starlight
Dreamin’ a lover’s dream for two
Soon you will see her eyes are star bright
As the ukelele magic comes through

Now if you want to satisfy
The one you love all else above
Take a tip and be sure you try
The ukelele style of makin’ love

All you do ukelele style, is just… (plays ukelele)
Makin’ love ukelele style, you just… (“ “)
All you do ukelele style, is just… (“ “)
Makin’ love ukelele style, you just ……(“ “)

Strolling along beneath the starlight
Dreamin’ a lover’s dream for two
Soon you will see her eyes are star bright
As the ukelele magic comes through

So if you want to satisfy
The one you love all else above
Take a tip and be sure you try
The ukelele style
Yes, the ukelele style of makin’ love

Little One 
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Bing Crosby



Little one, what should I do?
I just can't make any headway with you

Little one, I was so gloomy
Felt that life sure would undo me
till, one night, you happened to me
My little one

Little one, no controversy
You're my downfall, you're my Circe
I'm a good guy, show me mercy
My little one
I have such love for you
Our future could be
Heaven above for you
And paradise for me
Little one, fate might miscarry
Little one, why do you tarry?
Little one, when may I marry you
My little one?

What would people say?
What would people do?

If people knew I was with you?

Makin' lo-ove, makin' love

Instead of bein' off to school
All day I was with you

Don't care what they care about

Would envy over town

If the teacher knew, we's out all day

Makin' lo-ove, makin' love

Little Old Rag Doll 
Performer(s): Stuart Hamblen



Each night I'm lonely by the fireside
Alone with an aching heart
As I held in my arms
The dearest of charms
Just a little old rag doll
Yet the mem'ries it brings
Of days that are gone
Fills my heart with regret
For the court has decreed
That they take you from me
All I have is your little rag doll

Just a little old rag doll, dear
That you held in your baby arms
As you played 'round my knee
My darling of three
With your little old rag doll
Just a doll

Each night as I lay on my pillow
In dreams I see your blue eyes
You are smiling at me
My precious of three
Holding your little rag doll
When you grow up
To be a lady so grand
Some man's sweet loving wife
O, be true just to him
And then I'll be content
All alone with your little rag doll

Maker Of Islands
Composer(s): Mike Heron
Performer(s): The Incredible String Band



I do my job and it's pleasing to me
I'm getting so I can sail upon the roughest sea
On the roughest sea I do alright
But when my work is over and done
I get to being a lonely one

I need someone to take the wheel at night
And someone to navigate 'til light comes
But most of all I need a maker of islands
Rested in the golden sunlight where the seas are kind
She could make me islands for my peace of mind

If I could only see her
Look into her eyes
Then I'd lie easy
I'd lie easy
I'd lie easy
In my soul

Little Old Lady
Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael - Stanley Adams
Performer(s): Ray Noble
and multiple other artists



Little old lady passing by
Catching everyone’s eye
You have such a charming manner
Sweet and shy
Little old bonnet set in place
And a Smile on your face
You’re a perfect picture in your
Lavender and lace
Little bit of business here
Little bit of business there
Bet that you’ve been window shopping
All around the square
Little old lady, time for tea
Here’s a kiss, two or three
You’re just like that little old lady
I hold dear to me

Mmmmm Mmmmmm Make yourself comfortable
Mmmmm Mmmmmm Make yourself comfortable
Mmmmm Mmmmmm Make yourself comfortable, baby

Take off your shoesies, dear
And loosen up your tie
I've got some records here
Let's try one on for size
I'll turn the lights down
While you make yourself comfortable, baby

We hurried through our dinner 
Hurried through the dance
Left before the picture show was through
Why did we hurry through our dinner
Hurry through the dance
To leave some time for this
To hug-a hug-a kiss and so now

Mmmmm Mmmmmm Make yourself comfortable
Mmmmm Mmmmmm Make yourself comfortable
Mmmmm Mmmmmm Make yourself comfortable, baby

A Little More Time
Composer(s): Harlan Howard
Performer(s): Harlan Howard



(With only a little more time)

Every once in a while there's someone
Whose life is like a comet flashin' across the sky
Men of great talent with things to tell us
And it seems like all too soon those kinds seem to die
Now Stephen Foster was one of these gifted people
His down to earth songs turned the whole world on
But then like most people who are sent here on a mission
All too soon young Stephen was gone

A little more time a little more time
Oh the songs he might have wrote
Tender words and pretty notes
With only a little more time

Another man I feel was sent here on a mission was John F. Kennedy
A man loved and respected by I guess just about everyone
And I suppose we were all guilty of takin' him for granted
His love for humanity and the many fine things that he done
Now he wanted this to be a better world
But all too soon this great man died
And as we gathered around our radios that afternoon
The whole world stopped a little while and it cried

A little more time a little more time
So much to do so little done
But the victories he might have won
With only a little more time

And looking back down the pages of history
The greatest influence for good there ever was Jesus
In spite of all the obstacles in his path
Look at the legacy of hope that he gave us
And as I look around me at those who live by his teachings
And bless the day of his birth
I can't help but feel this would be a whole lot better world
If he could have spent a little more time on this earth

A little more time a little more time
Peace on earth might really be
Today if only he
Just had a little more time

Make Your Own Kind Of Music
Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil
Performer(s): Mama Cass
and various other artists



Nobody can tell ya
There's only one song worth singing
They may try and sell ya
'Cause it hangs them up to see someone like you

But you've gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along

You're gonna be nowhere
The loneliest kind of lonely
It may be rough going
Just to do your thing's the hardest thing to do

But you've gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along

So if you cannot take my hand
And if you must be going
I will understand

You've gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along

You've gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music

Little Miss Lonely 
Composer(s): John Schroeder - Michael Hawker
Performer(s): Helen Shapiro



Oh I cried last night
How I cried last night
For I knew the warning you had given me last night
Now it’s over, yes it’s over
And my tears are all too late

I won’t sleep tonight
I won’t eat tonight
But the years filled with tears could not put this right

For I’ve lost you, I have lost you
Now I’m only Little Miss Lonely

A tear is such a very lonely thing
But crying is the only thing that I can find to do
Since I lost you

I am wiser now, so much wiser now
But my wisdom is the wisdom of a fool somehow
For I love you, I still love you
But I’m only Little Miss Lonely

A tear is such a very lonely thing
But crying is the only thing that I can find to do
Since I lost you

I am wiser now, so much wiser now
But my wisdom is the wisdom of a fool somehow
For I love you, I still love you
But I’m only Little Miss Lonely

For I love you, I still love you
But I’m only Little Miss Lonely

Make The Night Just A Little Longer
Composer(s): Gerry Goffin; Carole King
Performer(s): Tammi Terrell



My days are years 'cause I don't see my baby
Till the stars are in the sky
And every night when we can be together
Time just seems to hurry by

So Lord I'm beggin' you to make the night (just a little longer)
Make the night (just a little longer)
So I can kiss him (just a little longer)
And hold him tight (just a little longer)

You made the world the way you thought it should be
So won't you make the night a little longer for me?

My nights are warm, 'cause when he hugs & holds me
Everything just feels so fine
But Lord, you know, I hate to see the sunlight
Takes away that man of mine

So Lord I'm beggin' you to make the night (just a little longer)
Make the night (just a little longer)
So I can kiss him (just a little longer)
And hold him tight (just a little longer)

(Just a little longer, just a little longer)

So Lord I'm beggin' you to make the night (just a little longer)
Make the night (just a little longer)
So I can kiss him (just a little longer)
And hold him tight (just a little longer)

Then embrace his arms (just a little longer)
Capture all of his charms (just a little longer)
Please Lord, make the night
