I’M GONNA KNOCK ON YOUR DOOR I’m gonna knock on your door, Ring on your bell, Tap on your window too If you don’t come out tonight when the moon is bright I’m gonna knock and ring and tap until you do. I’m gonna knock on your door, Call out your name, Wake up the town you’ll see I’m gonna hoot-hoot and howl like a love-sick owl ’Til you say you’re gonna come out with me. Hey little girl, this ain’t no time to sleep. Let’s count kisses ‘stead of counting sheep How can I hold you near with you up there and me down here?

BALLIN THE JACK First you put your two knees close up tight Then you sway ‘em to the left then you sway ‘em to the right Step around the floor kinda nice and light. Then twist around and twist around with all of your might. Stretch your lovin’ arms way out in space. Then do the Eagle Rock with style and grace Swing your foot way-round then bring it back Now that’s what I call ‘Ballin the Jack’. 4. LEROY BROWN Well the south side of Chicago is the baddest part of town And if you go down there, you better just beware Of a man named Leroy Brown. Now Leroy’s more than trouble. He stand about six foot four And those down-town ladies call him “Treetop Lover” All the men just call him “Sir”. Chorus: And he’s bad, bad Leroy Brown. Baddest man in the whole damn town. Badder than old King Kong and meaner than a junk yard dog. Now Leroy was a gambler and he liked his fancy clothes And he liked to wave his diamond rings in front of everybody’s nose. He’s got a custom Continental and and Eldorado too. He’s got a thirty two gun in his pocket for fun and a razor in his shoe. Chorus: Well last Friday ‘bout week ago, Leroy shootin’ dice, And at the edge of the bar sat a girl named Doris and ooh that girl looked nice. Well he cast his eyes upon her and the trouble soon began And Leroy learned a lesson about messin’ with the wife of a jealous man. Chorus: Well those two men took to fightin' And when they pulled them from the floor Leroy looked like a jig-saw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone. Chorus: x 2 5. UP A LAZY RIVER Up a lazy river by the old mill run. That lazy, lazy river in the noonday sun. To linger in the shade of a kind old tree Throw away your troubles dream a dream with me Up a lazy river where the robin’s call a-wakes a bright new morning We can loaf along. Blue skies up above, Everyone’s in love Up a lazy river with me. 6. I’M GONNA SIT RIGHT DOWN AND WRITE MYSELF A LETTER I’m gonna sit right down and write myself a letter And make believe it came from you. I’m gonna write the words so sweet They’re gonna knock me off my feet. A lot of kisses on the bottom. I’ll be glad I got ‘em. I’m gonna smile and say, “I hope you’re feelin’ better.” And close with love the way you do. I’m gonna sit right down and write myself a letter And make believe it came from you 7. On Moonlight Bay WE were sailing along On Moonlight Bay. We could hear the voices singing, They seemed to say. “You have broken my heart. Now don’t go ‘way” As we sang love’s old sweet song on Moonlight Bay (Repeat as an ‘echo’ the words underlined) 8. Little Grass Shack I wanna go back to my little grass shack in Kealakekua, Hawaii I want to be with all the kanes and wahines that I used to know I can hear the old guitars playin’ on the beach at Ho-o-nau-nau I can hear the old Hawaiians sayin’ “E Komo Mai No Ka-Ua Ika Hale Wela Ka Hao” (Ee Comb-o My/New-Car Oo-Ah/ Eeka Hayley/Wella Car How) It won’t be long till my ship will be sailing back to Kona A grand old place that’s always fair to see (You’re telling me) I’m just a little Hawaiian and a homesick island boy I wanna go back to my fish and poi I wanna go back to my little grass shack in Kaelakekua Hawaii Where the hu-mu hu-mu nuku-nuku apua’s go swimming by. 9. Proud Mary Left a good job in the city, Workin' for the man ev'ry night and day And I never lost one minute of sleepin' Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been Big Wheel keep on turnin' Proud Mary keep on burnin' Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis . Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans But I never saw the good side of the city 'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen. Big wheel keep on turnin’ Proud Mary keep on burnin' Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river If you come down to the river Bet you gonna find some people who live You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money People on the river are happy to give Big wheel keep on turnin' Proud Mary keep on burnin' Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river (X 4) 10. SIDE BY SIDE Oh, we ain’t got a barrel of mo- ney, maybe we’re ragged and fun- ny, But we’ll travel a-long, singin’ a song, side by side. Oh, we don’t know what’s comin’ to - mor-row, maybe it’s trouble and sor - row, But we’ll travel the road, sharin’ our load, side by side. Through all kinds of weather, what if the sky should fall? Just as long as we’re together, it doesn’t matter at all. When they’ve all had their quarrels and part-ed, We’ll be the same as we start-ed, Just a’travellin’ a-long, singin’ a song, 11. PEARLY SHELLS Pearly shells from the ocean, Shining in the Sun, Covering the shore When I see them my heart tells me that I love you. More than all the little pearly shells. For every grain of sand upon the beach I’ve got a kiss for you And I’ve got more left over for each star that twinkles in the blue. Pearly shells from the ocean, Shining in the sun Covering the shore When I see them my heart tells me that I love you. More than all the little pearly shells. (Note: SONG !2 has been deleted) 13. FIVE FOOT TWO Five foot two, eyes of blue, But, oh, what those five feet could do! Has anybody seen my gal? Turned up nose, turned down hose, Flapper, yes sir, one of those! Has anybody seen my gal? Now if you run into a five foot two covered with fur, Diamond rings, and all those things, betcha life it isn't her! But could she love, could she woo, Could she, could she, could she coo! Has anybody seen my gal? Has anybody seen my, Anybody seen my, Anybody seen my gal? 14. SLOOP JOHN B 1.We came on the sloop John B, my grandfather and me ’Round Nassau town we did roam Drinking all night, got into a fight Well I feel so break up, I wanna go home CHORUS: So hoist up the John B's sails, See how the mainsail sets Call for the Captain ashore, let me go home, Let me go home, I wanna go home Well I feel so break up, I wanna go home 2.
