Hound Dog
Elvis

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
cryin' all the time.
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
cryin' all the time.
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
and you ain't no friend of mine.
When they said you was high classed,
well, that was just a lie.
When they said you was high classed,
well, that was just a lie.
You ain't never caught a rabbit
and you ain't no friend of mine.

Shop Around - Smokey Robinson and the Miracles


When I became of age
My mother called me to her side
Son your growing up now
Pretty soon you'll take a bride now
Just because you've become a young man now
There's still some things that you don't understand now
Before you ask some girl for her hand now
Keep your freedom for as long as you can now
My mama told me
You better shop around
There's some things that I want you to know now
Just as sure as the wind's gonna blow now
The women come and the women are gonna go now
Before you tell 'em that you love 'em so now
My mama told me
You better shop around
Try to get yourself a bargain, son
Don't be sold on the very first one
Good-looking girls come a dime a dozen
Try to find you one who's gonna give you true loving
Before you take a girl and say I do now
Make sure he's in love with you now
My mama told me
You better shop around
Try to get yourself a bargain, son
Don't be sold on the very first one
Good-looking girls come a dime a dozen
Try to find you one who's gonna give you true loving
Before you take a girl and say I do now
Make sure he's in love with you now
Make sure that her love is true now
I hate to see you feeling sad and blue now
My mama told me
You better shop around

This girl walked in dreams
Playing in a world of her own
This girl was a child
Existing in a playground of stone
Then one night her world was changed
Her life and dreams were rearanged
And she would never be the same again

REFRAIN

This girl is a woman now
She's learned how to give
This girl is a woman now
She's found out what it's all about
And she's learning learning to live

This girl tasted love
As tender as the gentle dawn
She cried a single tear
A teardrop that was sweet and warm
Our hearts told us we were right
And on that sweet and velvet night
A child had died
A woman had been born

REFRAIN

REPEAT REFRAIN

REPEAT REFRAIN while fading

Return to Sender Lyrics - Elvis

I gave a letter to the postman,
he put it his sack.
Bright in early next morning,
he brought my letter back.

She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.
We had a quarrel, a lover's spat
I write I'm sorry but my letter keeps coming back.

So then I dropped it in the mailbox
And sent it special D.
Bright in early next morning
it came right back to me.

She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such person, no such so.

This time I'm gonna take it myself
and put it right in her hand.
And if it comes back the very next day
then I'll understand - the writing on it

Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.

Such a pretty song...

Half Heaven Half Heartache
Gene Pitney

My arms reach out for you I kiss you tenderly
But you touch my lips you’re kissing him not me, why must it be
Half heaven, half heartache, my lovin’ you, darlin’
Can’t you forget that other love you knew?, hmm

Within your angel eyes a world of dreams are there
Yet I’ll keep wondering if they are mine to share, oh it’s just not fair
Half heaven, half heartache, my loving you, darlin’
Oh let my love be strong enough to take away the heartache
And make my life a heaven on earth with you-ou-oo-ou

(instrumental interlude)

Half heaven, half heartache, my loving you, darlin’
Oh let my love be strong enough to take away the heartache
And make my life a heaven on earth with you-ou-oo-oo-ou

Ode To Billy Joe
Bobbie Gentry Song

It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hay
And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat
And Mama hollered out the back door y'all remember to wipe your feet
And then she said I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge
Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

'n' Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas
Well Billy Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits, please
There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow
'n' Mama said it was shame about Billy Joe, anyhow
Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

'n' Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe
Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show
And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night?
I'll have another piece-a apple pie, you know it don't seem right
I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge
And now ya tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

'n' Mama said to me Child, what's happened to your appetite?
I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a single bite
That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today
Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way
He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge
And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge

A year has come 'n' gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe
'n' Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus going 'round, Papa caught it and he died last Spring
And now Mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything
And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
