Let's Lock The Door (And Throw Away The Key) Composer(s): Roy Alfred - Wes Farrell Performer(s): Jay & The Americans; Jay Black
(Let's lock the door and throw away the key now) (shom-dooby-dom, dooby-dom-dom) (I can't wait to kiss you) Oh, no! (One little minute more)
We met at a party last week And the moment your eyes looked into mine Right then, my lips forgot how to speak And the soda started tastin' like wine
(How I wish everyone would go home) (So I could say when I got you alo-o-o-one)
C'mon now! (Let's lock the door and throw away the key now) (shom-dooby-dom, dooby-dom-dom) (I can't wait to kiss you) Oh, no! (One little minute more)
We started to talk and you smiled Sorta like you knew the way that I felt You moved a little closer in a while And I knew my heart was startin' to melt
(There was-a so much I wanted to say) (But all the words came out this wa-a-a-ay)
C'mon now! (Let's lock the door and throw away the key now) (shom-dooby-dom, dooby-dom-dom) (I can't wait to kiss you) Oh, no! (One little minute more)
(I'll kiss your lips like a kiss oughta be) (And then I know you'll be sayin' to me-e-e-e)
C'mon now! (Let's lock the door and throw away the key now) (shom-dooby-dom, dooby-dom-dom) (I can't wait to kiss you) Oh, no! (One little minute more)
Lets Give Love A Chance Composer(s): Carl Sigman - George W. Meyer - Marty Symes Performer(s): Art Lund; Benny Goodman
Lets give love a chance Lets not rush to break up There is always time to say were through I dont think were giving love a chance, do you? Lets give love a chance Theres so much to take up Darling, with our hearts against the wall I dont think were giving love a chance at all
We can just merely hold something dearly Then let it go so casually I think sincerely, if we think clearly Well never set each other free
So lets save our romance While we still can save it While the music plays, why stop a dance Darling lets be fair And lets give love a chance
Brokedown Palace Composer(s): Jerry Garcia; Robert Hunter Performer(s): Grateful Dead and various other artists
Fare you well, my honey, fare you well my only true one All the birds that were singing are flown, except you alone
Going to leave this brokedown palace On my hand and knees, I will roll, roll, roll Make myself a bed in the waterside In my time, I will roll, roll roll
In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul
River going to take me, sing sweet and sleepy sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home It's a far gone lullaby, sung many years ago Mama, mama many worlds I've come since I first left home
Goin' home, goin' home, by the riverside I will rest my bones Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul
Going to plant a weeping willow On the bank's green edge it will grow, grow, grow Sing a lullaby beside the water Lovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll
Fare you well, fare you well, I love you more than words can tell Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul

Broadway Rose Composer(s): Victor Arden; Eugene West; Martin Fried; Otis Spencer Performer(s): Original Dixieland Jazz Band and various other artists
A pretty flower grows along old Broadway A mid'st the throng, gay life and song I found her drooping there My heart went out to her I met on Broadway A faded little rose, beneath the white light's glare
I think about the rose I saw on Broadway Her listless face, her trembling gaze Beneath the starry sky, I'm praying for a little rose on Broadway Her sad and bitter tears, In mem'ry will be nigh
Broadway Rose, there's a tear in your eye Broadway Rose, seems I oft' hear you sigh though you wear fancy clothes and you show silken hose you're alone, as they all pass you by Broadway Rose, hide your cares in a smile for to you tears have gone out of style still at heart you're a gem though the whole world condemn no one knows of your woes, Broadway Rose
Let's Get Serious Composer(s): Stevie Wonder - Lee Garrett) Performer(s): Jermaine Jackson
Close my eyes, and I see your face at night Toss and turn, fall to sleep holding my pillow tight All the time I think of you You're with me no matter what I do
Walk around with a smile upon my face In my mind you have taken up permanent space! Now my life is filled with nothing less Than your sweet love, care, and tenderness
Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love

In your arms is the place I want to be With my love in you and your love inside of me Longing for each other just ain't fair When we've got so much we want to share
Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love!
Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love!
Just the thought of us together, we'd cement our love forever Let's get serious and fall in love! Once we start there'll be no quitting, with the love that we'll be getting Let's get serious and fall in love!
Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love!
The night is young, but not quite too young for you and me Let's be one---be one!---going places that we want to see Let our bodies travel with our minds To a place where love will always shine!
Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love!
Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love!
Both of us feel like a scalding, 'cause it's just too hot for holding! Let's get serious and fall in love! Girl, you've got my body moaning; just believe when I start calling! Let's get serious and fall in love! Serious, serious Let's get serious and fall in love! ...

Let's Keep It That Way Composer(s): Rafe Van Hoy - Curly Putman First release by: Tanya Tucker - 1977 Covered by multiple other artists
There's no need to lie Without me half trying, I could love you It shows in your eyes That you feel the same way I do But wherever I go, my conscience goes What more can I say It's only desire, not yet a fire Let's keep it that way
'Cause I don't want to have to tell him a lie When I get back home 'Cause it would tear apart his fairy tale world If I did him wrong And lying to him would hurt me more Than leaving you this way So before we forget, we're not cheaters yet Let's keep it that way
Let's finish this wine 'Cause I'm not thinking too clearly tonight And the touch of your hand Makes it so hard for me to tell wrong from right He waits at home and he's there alone And though I'd like to stay Before I give in Let's call it just friends And keep it that way
