Hiawatha didn't bother too much
About Minnie Ha-Ha and her tender touch
Till she took him to the silver stream
Then she whispered words like he'd never heard
That made him all shudder inside when she said

Wig-wam bam, gonna make you my man
Wam bam bam, gonna get you if I can
Wig-wam bam, wanna make you understand
Try a little touch, try a little too much
Just try a little wig-wam bam

Running Bear never cared enough
About Little White Dove and her tender love
Till she took him to the silver stream
She told him all about what he couldn't live without
And made him all weak inside when she said

Wig-wam bam, gonna make you my man
Wam bam bam, gonna get you if I can
Wig-wam bam, wanna make you understand
Try a little touch, try a little too much
Just try a little Wig-wam bam

Wig-wam bam sham-a-lam
Wam bam bam sham-a-lam
Wig-wam bam sham-a-lam
Wam bam bam sham-a-lam

Hiawatha didn't bother too much
About Minnie Ha-Ha and her tender touch
Till she took him to the silver stream
Then she whispered words like he'd never heard
That made him all shudder inside when she said

Wig-wam bam, gonna make you my man
Wam bam bam, gonna get you if I can
Wig-wam bam, wanna make you understand
Try a little touch, try a little too much
Just try a little wig-wam bam, and she said

Wig-wam bam, gonna make you my man......

North side, east side
Little Willy, Willy wears the crown, he's the king around town
Dancing and glancing
Willy drives them silly with his star shoe shimmy shuffle down

Way past one and feeling alright
'Cause with little Willy round they can last all night
Hey down, stay down, stay down down

'Cause little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy 'round
Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home

Up town, down town
Little Willy, Willy drives them wild with his run-around style
Inside, outside
Willy sends them silly with his star-shine shimmy shuffle smile

Mama done chase Willy down through the hall
But laugh, Willy laugh, he don't care at all
Hey down, stay down, stay down down

'Cause little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy round
Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home

Little Willy, Willy won't
Willy won't, Willy won't
Little Willy, Willy won't
Willy won't, Willy won't
Little Willy, Willy won't
Willy won't, Willy won't
Little Willy, Willy won't
Willy won't, Willy won't

Little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy round
Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home

Little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy round
Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home

Little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy round
Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no

I woke up this morning
My girl was not inside
Not inside my billfold
She's done me wrong allright
We've been all night a rockin'
At the house of blue night
Ah, ah, ah...

The band was really groovin'
With the shades of Jerry Lee
Somehow jiving, yeah she was taking me
Now she's gone and left me
Oh, baby let it be
Ah, ah, ah...

I didn't understand her
You know I mean her scene
Sleeps around for money
Or kick's that's twice as mean
But if I cross with her again
She'll find that I'm not green
Ah, ah, ah...

This woman's a hooker
I can't stand her
She's doing me wrong
This woman's a hooker...

In the midday sun
They beat on their drums
When Poppa Joe comes to town
With his coconut-rum
They can all have fun
They can drink it
'Till the sun goes down

Poppa Joe just smiles politely
With the money he takes he might be
Very rich one day as he hears them say

Poppa rumbo rumbo
Hey Poppa Joe coconut
Poppa Joe, hey Poppa Joe
Poppa rumbo rumbo
Hey Poppa Joe coconut
Poppa Joe, hey Poppa Joe
Poppa rumbo rumbo
Hey Poppa Joe coconut
hey Poppa Joe, hey Poppa Joe
Hey Pop-, Poppa, Poppa Joe

Never see a sad face
in the market place
When Poppa Joe comes around
For his coconut taste
You can see them race
Through the streets
You can hear the sound

All of the ladies are laughing gaily
Poppa Joe's still thinking maybe
He'll always hear the people say

Poppa rumbo rumbo
Hey Poppa Joe coconut
Poppa Joe, hey Poppa Joe
Poppa rumbo rumbo
Hey Poppa Joe coconut
Poppa Joe, hey Poppa Joe
Poppa rumbo rumbo
Hey Poppa Joe coconut
Hey Poppa Joe, hey Poppa Joe
Hey Pop-, Poppa, Poppa Joe

Ah ah ah

Tell me is it really true
This feeling that I feel for you
Your own kind of loving
That makes me think nothing
Could ever take the place of you

And it's so funny funny what you do honey honey
What you do, what you mean to me
And you know honey honey 'though it's so funny funny
That you mean all the world to me

Ah ah ah

Ever since you came my way
I knew it was my lucky day
The sun started shining
When you started smiling
And I know it's gonna stay that way

And it's so funny funny what you do honey honey
What you do, what you mean to me
And you know honey honey 'though it's so funny funny
That you mean all the world to me

Can't imagine loving anyone but you
(Honey honey, so funny funny)
Every minute, loving everything you do
(Honey honey, so funny funny)
Couldn't see my way without you
Now I've gotta tell the world about you

Tell me is it really true
This feeling that I feel for you
Your own kind of loving
That makes me think nothing
Could ever take the place of you

And it's so funny funny what you do honey honey
What you do, what you mean to me
And you know honey honey 'though it's so funny funny
That you mean all the world to me

And it's so funny funny what you do honey honey
What you do, what you mean to me
And you know honey honey 'though it's so funny funny
That you mean all the world to me

Co-Co would dream of dancing
At midnight beneath the stars
'Cos when it comes to dancing
Co-Co's a star!
He danced in a ring of fire
That circled the island shore
And as the flames got higher
They'd all call for more and more

Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chika-ka-ho go go Co-Co

Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho go go Co-Co

Across the silver water
The sound of the island drums
Echoing Co-Co's laughter
Yeah, Co-Co's the one
He moves with the cool of moonlight
Under a tropic sky
Then into the morning sunlight
he'd still hear them cry and cry

Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chika-ka-ho go go Co-Co

Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho go go Co-Co

Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho go go Co-Co...

A candle flickers in a window
Two thousand miles away she was there
There's a young man thinking by a window
How was she to know just how much he cared
He always knew just what he could do
He always knew that his dream would come true.

Alexander Graham Bell well he knew darned well
He could find the only way to talk across the U.S.A.
Telephone telephone never be on your own
Many many years ago he started something with his first "Hello"
'Hello"
Alexander Graham Bell
Alexander Graham Bell
Alexander Graham Alexander Graham
Alexander Graham Bell

The sun rises early in the morning
Millions of people still unaware
Something he discovered without warning
So he could show a girl just how much he cared.

He always knew just what he could do
He always knew that his dream would come true.

Alexander Graham Bell well he knew darned well
He could find the only way to talk across the U.S.A.
Telephone telephone never be on your own
Many many years ago he started something with his first "Hello"
'Hello"
Alexander Graham Bell
Alexander Graham Bell
Alexander Graham Alexander Graham
Alexander Graham Bell

If you walk down through the woods today
You won't believe your eyes
There's an old log cabin on the Greatway River
Underneath the rolling skies
A man called Woodrow all alone
You can hear the woodchop's cry
He swings his axe all day and chops the trees away

Chop chop chop you can hear him singing
Chop chop chop, as his axe is swinging
Chop chop chop through the woods it's ringing
Timber! Timber!
Chop chop chop, give it all you can
Chop chop chop sang the woodchop man
Chop chop chop through the woods it rang
Timber! Timber!

It's a bright light shines through the towering pines
You can hear the woodman's call
Through the raging rapids of the Greatway River
You can see the pine trees fall
As the sun goes down you can hear the sound
That echoes Woodrow's call
He puts his axe away until another day

Chop chop chop you can hear him singing
Chop chop chop, as his axe is swinging
Chop chop chop through the woods it's ringing
Timber! Timber!
Chop chop chop, give it all you can
Chop chop chop sang the woodchop man
Chop chop chop through the woods it rang
Timber! Timber!

Timber! Timber!

Chop chop chop you can hear him singing
Chop chop chop, as his axe is swinging
Chop chop chop through the woods it's ringing
Timber! Timber!
Chop chop chop, give it all you can
Chop chop chop sang the woodchop man
Chop chop chop through the woods it rang
Timber! Timber!...

Take me up when I fell down
you're like the sunshine in the sky
You are fine to have around
It's plain to see, I'm satisfied
People say, you're not good to me
you're not wrong for loving me
Don't lay me down
Kind of things that in my life
no one knows but you can guess
my goal in life's to meet the rainbow
Seems like things are never there
People say, you're not good to me
you're not wrong for loving me
Don't lay me down
Doo di doo doo di doo ...
Take me up when I fell down
you're like the sunshine in the sky
You are fine to have around
It's plain to see, I'm satisfied

Connolly/Priest/Scott/Tucker

The nights in this lonely world
Makes this life for me
Seem like an empty shell
But I'll wait 'till time arrives
Then we'll be together and I'll realize

The time I spend
Just feeling blue
Is all worth while
Now I'm with you, Jeanie.

The sails on the open sea
Try to take the thought of you
Away from me
The blue visions in my eyes
Constantly remain
And make me realize

The dreams I spend
Just looking through
Seem all worth while
Now I'm with you, Jeanie

And now through the morning light
Traces of your voice
That echo warm me night
You appear and the sun will rise
Reaching out through me
And then I'll realize

The time I spend
Just feeling blue
Is all worth while
Now I'm with you, Jeanie

The time I spend
Just feeling blue
Is all worth while
Now I'm with you, Jeanie

Yeah, the time I spend
Just feeling blue
Is all worth while
Now I'm with you, Jeanie

You know you're going to the dance tonight, my dear
'Cause I'm working you're going with the boy I hear
I won't be able to dance with you
But I'll know every little thing you do

I'm on spotlight, baby
I'm working on spotlight, baby

I can see you moving like a candle flickering bright
In my eyes I see you, in my mind it doesn't seem right
I may never be right for you
But every thing I do, I do for you

I'm on the spotlight, baby
I'm working on the spotlight, baby

I'm on the spotlight, baby
I'm working on the spotlight, baby

You know you're going to the dance tonight, my dear
'Cause I'm working you're going with the boy I hear
I won't be able to dance with you
But I'll know every little thing you do

I'm on the spotlight, baby
I'm working on the spotlight, baby
I'm on the spotlight, baby
I'm working on the spotlight, baby
I'm on the spotlight, baby
I'm working on the spotlight, baby
I'm on the spotlight, baby
I'm working on the spotlight, baby...

Tom Tom lived for all he could give
And he stood by his father's side
Then into his world came a sweet young girl
And he took her for his bride
And he took her for his bride

Tom Tom turn around, don't ever let me down
Don't ever leave my life
Tom Tom turn around, don't ever let me down
You don't need a wife
No, you don't need a wife

Tom Tom's called away, but his wife says "stay"
'Though he's never had to leave before
Sweet young wife only fears for the good life
That she may see no more
And then he hears her call

Tom Tom turn around, don't ever let me down
Don't ever leave my life
Tom Tom turn around, don't ever let me down
You can't leave your wife, no, you can't leave your wife

Tom Tom returns, but only to learn
There was truth in the words he'd ignored
Sweet young wife found a new kind of life
And a strong man's heart was torn
Will he always hear that call

Tom Tom turn around, don't ever let me down...

Tom Tom's alone in a world of his own
When he hears a new voice call
"Be my man - I'll do all that I can"
Is this what he's been waiting for
Will he turn and answer her call

Tom Tom turn around, I'll never let you down
I'll never leave your life
Tom Tom turn around, I'll never let you down
Take me for your wife, please, take me for your wife

Tom Tom turn around, I'll never let you down...

So Tom Tom turned around...
