GUESS WHAT, MUTT?

Guess what, mutt? The girl is gone and left us again Doggone dog, tomorrow's gonna be over by ten We talked this over so many times and dog, you warned me I'm out of my mind but confound, hound, this looks like the end of the line. A man's best friend is a dog, that's true but dog, I get tired of talking to you. Guess what, mutt? She did what you said you would do. * Guess what, mutt? She packed up her duds and moved out of the house And doggone dog, she said you stink, and that I'm a louse. Well someday we'll show her what true love means I guess for breakfast, let's open some beans Confound, hound, you and I are still a good team! A man's best friend is a dog, that's true but dog, I get tired of talking to you Guess what, mutt? She did what she said you would do. * - Merle A. Stearns sung by Rodd Keith, Hollywood Hitmakers LP 272: Rodd In Velvet * Rodd first sings "she did what you said you would do".  Next time around he sings "she...

I LIKE YELLOW THINGS

Lemon pies and butterflies Yellow submarines Corn on the cob and tangerines I like yellow things. Yellow tulips to tiptoe through Texas yellow rose, buttercups in bloom Candygins? and telegrams yellow bows 'round trees Sunshine days and lemonade I like yellow things Yellow tulips to tiptoe through Texas yellow rose, buttercups in bloom Daffodils and honey bees Canaries, daisies spring Easter day and baby chicks I like yellow things Yellow tulips to tiptoe through Texas yellow rose, buttercups in bloom (inst) Yellow tulips to tiptoe through Texas yellow rose, buttercups in bloom Lemon pies and butterflies Yellow submarines Corn on the cob and tangerines I like yellow things. - Tiel Faulkner sung by Bobbi Blake, MSR 2539

THE MERRY-GO-DOWN

The calliope sounds, my thoughts go to the day you had me crying like a clown on a merry-go-down And for miles around those sad calliope sounds recall the memory of the day when my love just walked away Once I felt like a king I was in your center ring Should I cling to this dream that keeps tearing me down? The calliope sounds, I roam the circus grounds I spend each hour of the day on a merry-go-down (inst) Once I felt like a king I was in your center ring Should I cling to this dream for one more round? The calliope sounds, my thoughts go to the day I finally get there right away - stop the merry-go-down! Some day I'll stop those oom-pah sounds Ride the ups, not downs Bring the curtain down on the merry-go-down on the merry-go-down on the merry-go-down.... - Ray Bon Giorno sung by Rodd Keith, Preview 1242

THE CRIME SHOWS

On Sunday, would you care to know, is the beginning of all the crime shows, where law is to uphold a tight grip on a city's popular past time (the past time naturally how to commit a crime and naturally not being caught) But if the cops can be bought then the crooks have the time to plot and scheme another series of crimes to which the cops look stupid and the crooks look good but if the cops stay straight, like supposedly they should we can tell how the show is going to end by watching the first fifteen minutes of the show.

I've got the dog house blues, been spending half my life in here My baby's mad again, she doesn't even want me near I've got the dog house blues, I wonder what it's like outside Is Baby missing me or has she ever even cried?
