50's & 60's Jukebox ...

[cookiejar]

I consider myself very retro and I have a small collection of singers and songs from the 50's and 60's. It started when I found my Mom's record collection. She started it at 14...hundreds of LP's and small boxes of 45's. Every chance I got I listened to them, being very careful of course. Someday they will be mine...and I will treasure them like she does. I'm starting this jukebox to post some great songs and maybe someone has a few I have yet to hear...so here is the 50's & 60's Jukebox...


RUNAWAY
Del Shannon

As I walk along I wonder what went wrong
With our love, a love that was so strong

And as I still walk on I think of the things we've done together
While our hearts were young

Chorus:
I'm walkin' in the rain, tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me to end this misery and I wonder
I wonder why why why why why why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay my little runaway
A run, run, run, runaway

(Instrumental Break)

Repeat Chorus

Only Love Can Break A Heart
Gene Pitney

Only love can break a heart only love can mend it again

(whistling and instrumental)

Last night I hurt you but darlin’ remember this
Only love can break a heart only love can mend it again, hmm, hmm
You know I’m sorry, I’ll prove it with just one kiss
Only love can break a heart only love can mend it agai-ai-ain

Give me a chance to make up for the harm I’ve done
Try to forgive me and let’s keep the two of us one.

Please let me hold you and love you for always and always
Only love can break a heart only love can mend it agai-ai-ain
Only love can break a heart only love can mend—it--again

(whistling and instrumental)

Rubber Ball

Bobby Vee

Rubber ball, I come bouncin' back to you
Rubber ball, I come bouncin' back to you
Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I'm like a rubber ball
Baby that's all that I am to you (bouncy, bouncy) (bouncy, bouncy)
Just a rubber ball
'cause you think you can be true to two (bouncy, bouncy) (bouncy, bouncy)
You bounce my heart around (You don't even put her down)
And like a rubber ball, I come bouncin' back to you
Rubber ball, I come bouncin' back to you

If you stretch my love till it's thin enough to tear
I'll just stretch my arms to reach you anywhere
And like a rubber ball, I'll come bouncin' back to you
Rubber ball, I'll come bouncin' back to you



You bounce my heart around (You don't even put her down)
And like a rubber ball, I come bouncin' back to you
Rubber ball, I come bouncin' back to you
Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
(Bouncy, bouncy) (bouncy, bouncy)
(Bouncy, bouncy) (bouncy, bouncy)
Eee-eee-eee

I'm like a rubber band
When on my shoulder you do tap (bouncy, bouncy) (bouncy, bouncy)
Just a rubber band
Because my heartstrings, they just snap (bouncy, bouncy) (bouncy, bouncy)
You go and squeeze me till I'm all aflame
(She calls you by some other guy's name)
But like a rubber ball, I come bouncin' back to you
Rubber ball, I come bouncin' back to you
Rubber ball, I'll come bouncin' back to you
FADE
Rubber ball, I'll come bouncin' back to you
Rubber ball, I'll come bouncin' back to you

Wake Up Little Susie
The Everly Brothers

Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
We’ve both been sound asleep, wake up, little Susie, and weep
The movie’s over, it’s four o’clock, and we’re in trouble deep
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, well

Whatta we gonna tell your mama
Whatta we gonna tell your pa
Whatta we gonna tell our friends when they say “ooh-la-la”
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, well

I told your mama that you’d be in by ten
Well Susie baby looks like we goofed again
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, we gotta go home

Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
The movie wasn’t so hot, it didn’t have much of a plot
We fell asleep, our goose is cooked, our reputation is shot
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, well

Whatta we gonna tell your mama
Whatta we gonna tell your pa
Whatta we gonna tell our friends when they say “ooh-la-la”
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?
The Shirelles

Tonight you're mine completely,
You give your love so sweetly.
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes,
But will you love me tomorrow?
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moments pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sight?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only,one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the the morning sun?

I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of.
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Till broad daylight,

Gonna rock around the clock

When the clock strikes two
Or tree and four,
If the band slows down
We’ll yell for more

Around the clock tonight,
We’re gonna rock rock rock
Till broad daylight,
We’re gonna rock gonna rock
Around the clock

Palisades Park
Freddy "Boom- Boom" Cannon

Written by Chuck Barris, who later created and starred in TV's "Gong Show"

Last night I took a walk after dark
A swingin' place called Palisades Park
To have some fun and see what I could see
That's where the girls are

I took a ride on a shoot-the-chute
That girl I sat beside was awful cute
And after while she was holdin' hands with me

My heart was flyin' up like a rocket ship
Down like a roller coaster
Back like a loop-the-loop
And around like a merry-go-round

We ate and ate at a hot dog stand
We danced around to a rockin' band
And when I could, I gave that girl a hug
In the tunnel of love

You'll never know how great a kiss can feel
When you stop at the top of a Ferris wheel
When I fell in love down at Palisades Park

We ate and ate at a hot dog stand
We danced around to a rockin' band
And when I could, I gave that girl a hug
In the tunnel of love

You'll never know how great a kiss can feel
When you stop at the top of a Ferris wheel
When I fell in love down at Palisades Park

Down at Palisades Park
FADE
You know it's Palisades Park
Down at Palisades Park

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?
The Shirelles

Tonight you're mine completely,
You give your love so sweetly.
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes,
But will you love me tomorrow?
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moments pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sight?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only,one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the the morning sun?

I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of.
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Lol This song reminds me of "Police Academy"....

Alley Oop
The Hollywood Argyles


Oop-oop, Oop, Oop-oop
Alley Oop-oop, Oop, Oop-oop
There's a man in the funny papers we all know
Alley Oop-oop, Oop, Oop-oop
He lives way back a long time ago
Alley Oop-oop, Oop, Oop-oop
He don't eat nothin' but a bear cat stew
Alley Oop-oop, Oop, Oop-oop
Well, this cat's name is-a Alley Oop
Alley Oop-oop, Oop, Oop-oop

He got a chauffer that's a genuine dinosaur
Alley Oop-oop, Oop, Oop-oop
And he can knuckle your head before you count to four-our
Alley Oop-oop, Oop, Oop-oop
He got a big ugly club and a head full of hair-air
Alley Oop-oop, Oop, Oop-oop
Like great big lions and grizzly bear
Alley Oop-oop, Oop, Oop-oop

Alley Oop, He's the toughest man there is alive
Alley Oop, Wearin' clothes from a wild cat's hide
Alley Oop, He's the king of the jungle ji-ive
Look at that cave man go - Aghhh

He rides through the jungle tearin' limbs off of trees
Alley Oop-oop, Oop, Oop-oop
A-knockin' great big monsters dead on their knees
Alley Oop-oop, Oop, Oop-oop
The cats don't bug him 'cause they know better
Alley Oop-oop, Oop, Oop-oop
'Cause he's a mean motor scooter and a bad go getter
Alley Oop-oop, Oop, Oop-oop

Alley Oop, He's the toughest man there is alive
Alley Oop, Wears clothes from a wild cat's hide
Alley Oop, He's the king of the jungle ji-ive
Look at that cave man go - Aghhh

Alley Oop-oop, Oop, Oop-oop (there he goes)
Alley Oop-oop, Oop, Oop-oop (look at that cave man go)
Alley Oop-oop, Oop, Oop-oop, (he sure is hip ain't he)
Alley Oop-oop, Oop, Oop-oop (like what's happening)
Alley Oop-oop, Oop, Oop-oop (he's too much)
Alley Oop-oop, Oop, Oop-oop (ride Alley, ride)
Alley Oop-oop, Oop, Oop-oop (hi-yo dinosaur-aur)
Alley Oop-oop, Oop, Oop-oop (ride Alley, ride) [fade]

One of my favorite songs from the 50's, and his voice is wonderful to listen to. I melt whenever I hear this song.

Chances Are
Johnny Mathis

Chances are cause I wear a silly grin
The moment you come into view
Chances are you think that I'm in love with you

Just because my composure sort of slips
The moment that your lips meet mine
Chances are you think my heart's your Valentine

In the magic of moonlight
When I sigh, "Hold me close, dear"
Chances are you believe the stars
That fill the skies are in my eyes

Guess you feel you'll always be
The one and only one for me
And if you think you could
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good

Chances are you believe the stars
That fill the skies are in my eyes

Guess you feel you'll always be
The one and only one for me
And if you think you could
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good

The chances are your chances are awfully good

 

[sueanninct]

Another favorite - I love this song!!

Lil' Red Riding Hood
Sam the Sham and The Pharaohs

Owoooooooo!
Who's that I see walkin' in these woods?
Why, it's Little Red Riding Hood.
Hey there Little Red Riding Hood,
You sure are looking good.
You're everything a big bad wolf could want.
Listen to me.

Little Red Riding Hood
I don't think little big girls should
Go walking in these spooky old woods alone.
Owoooooooo!

What big eyes you have,
The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad.
So just to see that you don't get chased
I think I ought to walk with you for a ways.

What full lips you have.
They're sure to lure someone bad.
So until you get to grandma's place
I think you ought to walk with me and be safe.

I'm gonna keep my sheep suit on
Until I'm sure that you've been shown
That I can be trusted walking with you alone.
Owoooooooo!

Little Red Riding Hood
I'd like to hold you if I could
But you might think I'm a big bad wolf so I won't.
Owoooooooo!

What a big heart I have-the better to love you with.
Little Red Riding Hood
Even bad wolves can be good.
I'll try to be satisfied just to walk close by your side.
Maybe you'll see things my way before we get to grandma's place.

Hey there Little Red Riding Hood
You sure are looking good
You're everything that a big bad wolf could want.
Owoooooooo! I mean baaaaaa! Baaa?

Downtown
Petula Clark

When you're alone
and life is making you lonely
You can always go -
Downtown

When you've got worries,
all the noise and the hurry
seems to help, I know -
Downtown

Just listen to the music
of the traffic in the city,
Linger on the sidewalks
where the neon signs are pretty

How can you lose?

The lights are much brighter there,
You can forget all your troubles,
Forget all your cares, and go

Downtown
Things'll be great when you're -
Downtown
No finer place for sure -
Downtown
Everything's waiting for you -
(Downtown)

Don't hang around and
let your problems surround you,
there are movie shows -
Downtown

Maybe you know
some little places to go to
where they never close -
Downtown Just listen to the rhythm
of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with 'em too
before the night is over

Happy again

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles,
forget all your cares, and go

Downtown
Where all the lights are bright -
Downtown
Waiting for you tonight -
Downtown
You're gonna be alright now -
(downtown)

instrumental bridge

And you may find somebody kind
to help and understand you,
Someone who is just like you
and needs a gentle hand to
guide them along

So maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles,
forget all our cares, and go

Downtown
Things'll be great when you're -
Downtown
Don't wait a minute more -
Downtown
Everything's waiting for you -
(Downtown)

Downtown, downtown,
downtown, downtown . . .
(repeat & fade)

Little Woman
Bobby Sherman


Hey Little Woman please make up your mind
You've got to come into my world
Leave your world behind
Come on now
Na, na, na, na...
You got to
Come down from that cloud girl and
Leave your world behind

When your with me
I feel sunshine
Even when I'm standing in the rain
Something happens that I can't explain
When I hear your name
But you can't help it that
You're always chasing rainbows in your mind
There's so much I wanna say to you
But there's so little time

Hey Little Woman please make up your mind
You've got to come into my world
Leave your world behind
Na, na, na, na...
You got to
Come down from that cloud girl and
Leave your world behind

What do you see when your walking down
A busy street and I'm not there
Is my picture hanging in your mind
Walking with you there
That's how it is in my world girl
You're not there all the time
Why don't you come into my world and
Leave your world behind

Hey Little Woman please make up your mind
You've got to come into my world
Leave your world behind
Na, na, na, na...
You got to
Come down from that cloud girl and
Leave your world behind

you'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face on every flower your eyes in stars above
it's just the thought of you the very thought of you my love music

Stand by Me
Ben E. King


When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No, I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me, so

Darling darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Ot the mountain
Should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me, and


Whenever you're in trouble
Won't you stand by me, oh stand by me

CHORUS
You are the only one
My one and only one
Together we've had a lot of fun
But what'll I do if you leave me?

If someone else should come along
And take your love from me
Darlin', you could never know
How lonely I would be

CHORUS

I tried to be the kinda guy
You'd wanna call your own
So please don't go and throw away
The truest love you've known

CHORUS

What'll I do if you ever take your love from me?
'cause in your arms is where I always wanna be

If you should ever go away
My eyes would fill with tears
And the heartaches I would feel
Would last a thousand years

CHORUS

What'll I do if you leave me?
What'll I do if you leave me?

FADE
What'll I do if you leave me?
