[StopTheMorans]

11. ooooooooooooooooooooooooh ladies!

She was seaside sittin', just a smokin' and a drinkin' on ringside,
on top of the world, oh, yeah.
She had her drink in her hand; she had her toes in the sand and whoa,
what a beautiful girl, ah, yeah.
What a sweet talkin' honey with a little bit of money can
turn your head around.
Creatures from the sea with the look to me like she'd like to fool around.
What a snappy little mammy. Gonna keep her pappy happy
and accompany me to the ends of the earth, ah, yeah.
Here I am, ain't no man of the world, no.
All I need is a beautiful girl.
Ah, yeah! Beautiful girls.
Well, I'm a bum in the sun and I'm having fun.
And I know you know I got no special plans.
All the bills are paid. I got it made in the shade,
and all I nee, nee, need is the woman.
What a sweet talkin' honey with a little bit of money can
turn your head around.
Creatures from the sea with the looks to me like she'd like to fool around.
Here I am, ain't no man of the world, no.
All I need is a beautiful girl.
Ah, yeah! Beautiful girls.
Now, I'm a seaside sittin', just a smokin' and a drinkin';
I'm ringside, on top of the world.
I got a drink in my hand; I got my toes in the sand.
All I need is a beautiful girl.
Here I am, ain't no man of the world, no.
All I need is a beautiful girl.
Ah, yeah! Beautiful girls.
Ah, yeah! Beautiful girls.
(repeat and fade)

[StopTheMorans]

12. yes, ladies, there's more where that came from

There’s a time and place for everything, for everyone
We can push with all our might, but nothin’s gonna come
Oh no, nothin’s gonna change
And if I asked you not to try
Oh could you let it be
I wanna hold you and say
We can’t throw this all away
Tell me you won’t go, you won’t go
Do you have to hear me say

I can’t stop lovin’ you
And no matter what I say or do
You know my heart is true, oh
I can’t stop loving you

You change your friends, your place in life
You can change your mind, we can change the way we say
And do anytime
Oh no, but I think you’ll find
That when you look inside your heart
Oh baby, I’ll be there, yeah

Hold on
I’m holding on
Baby, just come on, come on, cdome on
I just wanna hear you say

I can’t stop lovin’ you
And no matter what you say or do
You know my heart is true, oh
I can’t stop lovin’ you

Oh, I’m so twisted and tied
And all I remember
Was how hard we tried
Only to surrender

And when it’s over
I know how it’s gonna be
And true love will never die
No, not fade away

And I can’t stop lovin’ you
No matter what I say or do
You know my heart is true, oh
I can’t stop lovin’ you

And I know what I got to do
Hey ray, what you said is true
I can’t stop lovin’ you, oh
Oh, I can’t stop lovin’ you

[StopTheMorans]

13. (guitar solo)

Drop dead legs, pretty smile,
Hurts my head, gets me wild.
Dig that steam, giant butt,
Makes me scream, I get nuh-nuh-nothing but the shakes over you
And nothing else could ever do.
Chorus:
You know that you want it.
I know what it is.
You know that you want it, baby,
When the night is through, will I still be loving you ?
Dig those moves, vam-pire
Set me loose, get it higher.
Throw my rope, loop-de-loop
Nice white teeth, betty boop.
Set it cool real heavy.
I ain’t fooled, gettin’ ready.
Chorus
(guitar solo)

[StopTheMorans]

19. i'll wait ladies

You’ve got me captured, I’m under your spell.
I guess I’ll never learn.
I have your picture, yes I know it well.
Another page is turned.
Are you for real ? it’s so hard to tell,
From just a magazine.
Yeah, you just smile and the picture sells,
Look what that does to me.
Chorus:
I’ll wait till your love comes down.
I’m coming straight for your heart.
No way you can stop me now,
As fine as you are.
I wrote a letter and told her these words,
That meant a lot to me.
I never sent it, she wouldn’t have heard,
Her eyes don’t follow me.
And while she watches I can never be free,
Such good photography !
Chorus
(guitar solo)
You can’t imagine what your image means.
The pages come alive.
Your magic greets everyone who reads.
Heart-break in overdrive
Are you for real, it’s so hard to tell,
From just a magazine.
Yeah, you just smile and the picture sells,
Look what that does to me.
Chorus

Felt so much
Chorus 1:
No I can’t recall any love at all
Baby this blows ’em all away
Chorus 2:
It’s got what it takes
So tell me why can’t this be love
Straight from my heart oh tell me why
Can’t this be love

If we stand the test of time
All I know
You’ve got to run to win an I’ll be damned if
I’ll get hung up on the line

35. (oooh) little dreamer

They may talk about you cold when you were
Headed for the skies
But you were young and bold and baby didn’t that
Change with a wink of your eye
Now no one’s talkin’ ’bout those
Crazy days gone by
No one talks about the
Times you cried

(oooh) little dreamer
(oooh) uh, little dreamer

And then they voted you
Least likely to succeed
I hadda tell them baby, you were armed with
All you’d need
Seems no one’s talkin’ ’bout those
Crazy days gone past
Weren’t they amazed when you were
Really last

(oooh) you are the little dreamer
(oooh) you were the little dreamer, yeah, yeah

Yeah they talk about you cold when you were
Headed for the skies
But you were young and bold and baby didn’t that
Change with a wink of your eye
Seems no one’s talkin’ ’bout the
Crazy days gone past
Weren’t they amazed when you were
Really last

(oooh) you are the little dreamer
(oooh) little dreamer, oh yeah, oh
(oooh) little dreamer
(oooh) little dreamer

36. Where have all the good times gone.

All my life Ive never stopped to worry `bout a thing,

Open up and shout it out,an never try to sing,

Wondering if Ive done it wrong,

Will this depression last for long,wont you tell me,

Where have all the good times gone.

Where have all the good times gone.

Where have all the good times gone.

Once we had an easy ride and always felt the same,

Time was on our side and we had everything to gain,

This could be like yesterday,

Is thst me with your happydays,

Where have all the good times gone.

Where have all the good times gone.

Where have all the good times gone.

Ma and pa look back on all the things they used to do,

Never had no money and they always told the truth,

Daddy didnt need no little toys,

Mommy didnt need no little boys,wont you tell me,

Where have all the good times gone.

Where have all the good times gone.

Where have all the good times gone.

Ow!

Yesterday was such an easy game for you to play,

Ah but then lets face it,things are easier today,

Yes you need some bringing down,

Get your feet back on the ground,

Where have all the good times gone.

Where have all the good times gone.

Where have all the good times gone.

Where have all the good times gone.

Where have all the good times gone.
