THOSE WERE THE DAYS

Once upon a time there was a tavern

Where we used to raise a glass or two.

Remember how we laughed away the hours,
And think of all the great things we would do?

* Those were the days my friend,

We thought they'd never end,
We'd sing and
forever and a day.
We'd live the life we choose,
We'd fight and never lose,
For we were young and sure to have our way.
Da-da-da-die, die-die,
Da-da-da-die, die-die,
Da-da-da-dah, da-dada-dada-daah.

Then the busy years went rushing by us,

We lost our starry notions on the way.
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern,
We'd smile at one another and we'd say,

Repeat *.

Just tonight I stood before the tavern,

Nothing seemed the way it used to be.
In the glass I saw a strange reflection,
Was that lonely woman really me.

Repeat *.

Through the door there came familiar laughter,

I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh, my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Repeat *
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 (how-how)

Call out your name (how-how)
Wake up the town, you'll see (how-how)
I'm gonna hoo-hoot and howl like the lovesick owl
Until you say you're gonna come out with me

Hey little girl (how-how) this ain't no time to sleep

Let's count kisses 'stead of countin' sheep
How (how-how) how can I hold ya near
With you up there and me down here?

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

(Instrumental and guitar & piano)

Hey little girl (hey little girl)

This ain't no time to sleep (how-how)
Let's count kisses 'stead of countin' sheep (how-how)
How (how-how) how can I hold ya near (how-how)
With you up there and me down here?

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 and ring and tap

And knock and ring and tap
And knock and ring and tap
And knock and ring until you do.
When I see my baby
What do I see
Poetry poetry in motion

Poetry in motion walking by my side

Her lovely locomotion
Keeps my eyes open wide
Poetry in motion see her gentle swaying
A wave out on the ocean
Could never move that way

I love every movement

There's nothing I would change
She doesn't need improvement
She's much too nice to rearrange

Poetry in motion dancing close to me

A flower of devotion a-swaying gracefully
Woh-woh-woh-woh-woh-woh
Woh-woh-woh-woh-woh.....
Poetry in motion see her gentle swaying
A wave out on the ocean
Could never move that way

I love every movement

There's nothing I would change
She doesn't need improvement
She's much too nice to rearrange

Poetry in motion all that I adore her

No number nine love potion
Could make me love her more
Woh-woh-woh-woh-woh-woh
Woh-woh-woh-woh-woh.....
So Happy Together
Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl you love, and hold her tight
So happy together

If I should call you up, invest a dime

And you say you belong to me, and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
So happy together

(Chorus)
I can't see me loving nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me
Baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life

Me and you, and you and me

No matter how they tossed the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

Chorus

Me and you, and you and me

No matter how they tossed the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

Ba ba ba ba, ba ba-ba-ba ba ba ba... (as chorus)

Me and you, and you and me

No matter how they tossed the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

O-o-o-oh
So happy together
O-o-o-oh
How is the weather
Ba, ba ba ba ba
So happy together
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba
We're happy together
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba
So happy together
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba

Love, love me do.

You know I love you,
I'll always be true,
So please, love me do.

Roses are red, my love ... doo doo da doooo ...
A long, long time ago, on graduation day.
You handed me your book ... I signed this way:
"Roses are red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But not as sweet as you."
We dated through high school.
And when the big day came,
I wrote into your book,
next to my name:
"Roses are red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But not as sweet as you."
Then I went far away and you found someone new.
I read your letter dear, and I wrote back to you:
"Roses are red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But luck may god bless you."
Is that your little girl?
She looks a lot like you.
Someday some boy will write
in her book, too.
"Roses are red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But not as sweet as you."
Seven lonely days make one lonely week
Seven lonely nights make one lonely me
Ever since the time you told me we were thru
Seven lonely days I cried and I cried for you

Oh, my darlin' you're cryin', boo-hoo-hoo-hoo

There's no use in denyin' I cried for you
It was your favorite pastime, makin' me blue
Last week was the last time I cried for you

Seven hankies blue I filled with my tears

Seven letters, too, I filled with my fears
Guess it never pays to make your lover blue
Seven lonely days I cried and I cried for you

Oh, my darlin you're cryin', boo-hoo-hoo-hoo

Now, there's no use in denyin' I cried for you
It was your favorite pastime, makin' me blue
Last week was the last time I cried for you
Last week was the last time I cried for you

SPOKEN: It was a moonlit night in old Mexico. I walked alone between some old
adobe haciendas. Suddenly, I heard the plaintive cry of a young Mexican girl.

You better come home, Speedy Gonzales

Away from tannery row
Stop alla your a-drinkin'
With that floozie named Flo
Come on home to your adobe
And slap some mud on the wall
The roof is leakin' like a strainer
There's loadsa roaches in the hall

Speedy Gonzales, why dontcha come home?

Speedy Gonzales, how come ya leave me all alone?

SPOKEN in a male Mexican accent: "Hey, Rosita-I hafta go shopping downtown

for my mudder-she needs some tortillas and chili peppers."

Your doggy's gonna have a puppy

And we're runnin' outta coke
No enchiladas in the icebox
And the television's broke
I saw some lipstick on your sweatshirt
I smelled some perfume in your ear
Well if you're gonna keep on messin'
Don't bring your business back a-here

Mmm, Speedy Gonzales, why dontcha come home?

Speedy Gonzales, how come ya leave me all alone?

SPOKEN in a male Mexican accent: "Hey, Rosita-come queek-down at the cantina

they giving green stamps with tequila!!"
