Teenage Party
Composer(s): Lionel Bart - Mike Pratt - Tommy Steele
Performer(s): Tommy Steele



Gonna have a teenage party
We're gonna have a teenage time
We're gonna make it high and hearty
If you're ready, that's fine

Really rock and jive together
Really take the floor together
Really stay alive together
Whether you're ready or not, not, rock!

Walk down a teenage passage
Open up a teenage door
Soon you'll get the teenage message
Rockin' thru the floor
Take a note, unquote
Take a line, that's fine
From the top, woo-oo-oo-ooh, full stop, rock!

We're gonna have a teenage party
We're gonna have a teenage rave
We're gonna make it high and hearty
Just think of all the sleep you save

Really rock an' jive, oh-oh-oh
Really stay alive, oh-oh-oh
Really rock the floor, oh-oh-oh
Whether you're ready or not-not-a-not-a-rock!

We're gonna have a teenage party
We're gonna have a teenage time
We're gonna make it high and hearty
If you're ready, that's fine

My Girl Josephine (aka Hello Josephine)
Dutch Title: Hallo Josephine
Composer(s): Dave Bartholomew; Antoine "Fats" Domino
Originally performed by: Fats Domino
Covered by various other artists



Hello, Josephine
A-how do you do?
Do you remember me, baby
Like I remember you?
You used to laugh at me
And holler 'hoo-hoo-ooo'

I used to walk you home
I used to hold your hand
You used to use my umbrella
Ev'rytime it rained
You used to cry so much
It was a cryin' shame

You used to live over yonder
By the railroad tracks
When it rained you couldn't walk
I used to tote you on my back
Now you try to make believe
It wasn't no days like that

Hello, Josephine
A-how do you do?
Do you remember me, baby
Like I remember you?
You used to laugh at me
And holler 'hoo-hoo-hoo'

Goodbye Mrs. Durkin
Composer(s): Will Millar
Performer(s): The Irish Rovers



Goodbye Mrs. Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin'
No more I'll dig your praties, no longer I'll be poor
As sure as my name is Barney, I'm off to Califarny
Instead of digging praties, I'll be digging lumps of gold

In the days when I was courting, I was never tired resorting
To the alehouse and the playhouse, and the other house besides
But I told my brother Seamus, "I'll be off now and grow famous
And before that I return again, I'll roam the whole world wide"

So, it's goodbye Mrs. Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin'
No more I'll dig your praties, no longer I'll be poor
As sure as my name is Barney, I'm off to Califarny
Instead of digging praties, I'll be digging lumps of gold

Well, I've courted girls in Blarney, in Antrim and Killarney
In Dublin and in Kerry, down to the coves of Cork
But I'm tired of all this pleasure, so now I'll take my leisure
And the next time that you hear from me, I'll write you from new York.

So, it's goodbye Mrs. Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin'
No more I'll dig your praties, no longer I'll be poor
As sure as my name is Barney, I'm off to Califarny
Instead of digging praties, I'll be digging lumps of gold

When I landed in America, I met a man named Burke
He told me if I'd stay a while, he'd surely find me work
But work he didn't find me, so there's nothing here to bind me
I'm bound for San Francisco, in Califor-ni-yay!

So, it's goodbye Mrs. Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin'
No more I'll dig your praties, no longer I'll be poor
As sure as my name is Barney, I'm off to Califarny
Instead of digging praties, I'll be digging lumps of gold

Well, I'm now in San Francisco, and my fortune it is made
My pockets loaded down with gold, I'll throw away my spade
I'll go back to dear old Erin, spend my fortune never carin'
I'll marry Queen Victori', Mrs. Durkin for to spite

So, it's goodbye Mrs. Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin'
No more I'll dig your praties, no longer I'll be poor
As sure as my name is Barney, I'm off to Califarny
Instead of digging praties, I'll be digging lumps of gold

Are teenage dreams so hard to beat
Everytime she walks down the street
Another girl in the neighbourhood
Wish she was mine, she looks so good

I wanna hold you wanna hold you tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

I'm gonna call her on the telephone
Have her over 'cause i'm all alone
I need excitement oh i need it bad
And she's the best, i've ever had

I wanna hold you wanna hold you tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

I wanna hold you wanna hold you tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night 

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 ...

Goodbye Joe
Composer(s): Laura Nyro
Performer(s): Laura Nyro; Carmen McRae



We were lost in the fair on the highland, goodbye, Joe
with the sky and the deer on the highland, goodbye, Joe
Time is full of changes and now you've got to go
Don't forget that we loved on the highland, goodbye, Joe

Goodbye, Joe, yes, I understand, I'm trying not to cry
but if I do, it's only cause I'll miss you, one more time, let me kiss you

I remember when you came calling, goodbye, Joe
like a sunrise that rose without warning, goodbye, Joe
Time is full of changes and now you've got to go
And we walked on a Manhattan morning, goodbye Joe

Goodbye, Joe, yes, I understand, I'm trying not to cry
but if I do, it's only cause I'll miss you, one more time, let me kiss you
Goodbye, Joe, goodbye, Joe, time is full of changes, Joe, and now you've got to go
Don't forget that we loved on the highland, goodbye, Joe, goodbye, Joe…

Teenage Heart
Performer(s): Conway Twitty



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

Talkin' 'bout my girl

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

Goodbye France
Composer(s): Irving Berlin



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.

Teenage Crush
Composer(s): Audrey Allison - Joe Allison
Performer(s): Tommy Sands



They call it a teenage crush
They don't know how I feel
They call it a teenage crush
They can't believe this is real

They've forgotten when they were young
And the way tried to be free
All they say is "This young generation
Is just not the way it used to be"

I know that I know my own heart
But you say I'm trying to rush
Please, don't try to keep us apart
Don't call it a teenage crush

They've forgotten when they were young
And the way tried to be free
All they say is "This young generation
Is just not the way it used to be"

I know that I know my own heart
But you say I'm trying to rush
Please, don't try to keep us apart
Don't call it a teenage crush

Il est sept heures du matin

Z'avez pas vu ma… brosse-à-dents?

Tiens on est lundi aujourd'hui
Ah, pour demain j'ai un d'voir d'anglais

Pour m'aider

J'ai envie d'mettre un disque pour embêter les voisins qui roupillent toute la journée
Euh, quelque chose comme un bon Elvis Presley
Ah, mais c'est vrai celui-là il en est resté à
Olobopalluba alopempom wa

Un peu d'eau sur la figure pour me réveiller
Le dodo… c'est terminé
Je suis presque prête et ça va beaucoup mieux

Euh, mon shetland rouge
Oh mon shetland bleu
Mon shetland rouge

Teen Angel
Composer(s): Jean Surrey - Red Surrey
First release by: Mark Dinning



Teen angel, teen angel, teen angel, ooh, ooh

That fateful night the car was stalled upon the railroad track
I pulled you out and we were safe, but you went running back

Teen angel, can you hear me?
Teen angel, can you see me?
Are you somewhere up above
And I am still your own true love?

What was it you were looking for that took your life that night? 
They said they found my high school ring clutched in your fingers tight

Teen angel, can you hear me?
Teen angel, can you see me?
Are you somewhere up above
And I am still your own true love?

Just sweet sixteen, and now you're gone
They've taken you away
I'll never kiss your lips again
They buried you today

Teen angel, can you hear me?
Teen angel, can you see me?
Are you somewhere up above
And I am still your own true love?

Teen angel, teen angel, answer me, please

Goodbye Dixie Lee
Composer(s): Robert Levenson; G. Vernon Strout



Dixie Lee the time has come to say goodbye
Dixie Lee now brush that tear drop from your eye
Tho' I'll leave you far behind 
you'll be always in my mind 
and some day I'll come back, so don't you cry

When the roses start a blooming in the spring
that is when I'll be returning with the ring
on that bright and happy day I will kiss your tears away 
and never once again, dear, will I say

Goodbye Dixie, my Dixie Lee keep a place in your heart for me 
When I'm there way over the foam, I'll dream of you and home
Some day when the sun shines again
we'll be as happy as can be 
let's hope and pray until that day
so goodbye Dixie Lee

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
