#16 Cry Like A Baby (The Box Tops) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
When I think about the good love you gave me
I cry like a baby
Livin’ without you is drivin’ me crazy
I cry like a baby
Well, I know now that you’re not a play thing
Not a toy or a puppet on a string🪄
As I look back on a love so sweet now
I cry like a baby
Every road is a lonely street
I cry like a baby
I know now that you’re not a play thing
Not a toy or a puppet on a string🪄
Today we passed on the street
And you just walked on by
My heart just fell to my feet
And once again I began to cry🪄
When I think about the good love you gave me
I cry like a baby (Cry like a baby)
Livin’ without you is drivin’ me crazy
I cry like a baby (Cry like a baby)🪄
I know now that you’re not a play thing
I cry like a baby (Just like a little bitty baby now)
As I look back on a love so sweet now
I cry like a baby (Just like a little bitty baby now)🪄
Every road is a lonely street
I cry like a baby (Cry like a baby)
My heart just fell to my feet, you know
I cried like a baby (Cry like a baby)
You left the water runnin’ now (Cry like a baby)
I cried like a baby (Cry like a baby)

#15 Young Girl (Gary Puckett & The Union Gap) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You’re much too young, girl🪄
With all the charms of a woman
You’ve kept the secret of your youth
You led me to believe you’re old enough
To give me love
And now it hurts to know the truth🪄
Woah, oh, oh
Young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
You’d better run, girl
You’re much too young, girl🪄
Beneath your perfume and make-up
You’re just a baby in disguise
And though you know
That it’s wrong to be
Alone with me
That ‘come on’ look is in your eyes🪄
Woah, oh, oh
Young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You’re much too young, girl🪄
So hurry home to your mama
I’m sure she wonders where you are
Get out of here
Before I have the time
To change my mind
‘Cause I’m afraid we’ll go too far🪄
Woah, oh, oh
Young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
You’d better run, girl
You’re much too young, girl🪄
Young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line🪄
You’d better run, girl
You’re much too young, girl
Young girl
Get out of my mind

#14 Hello, I Love You (The Doors) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Hello, I love you, won’t you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you, let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you, won’t you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you, let me jump in your game🪄
She’s walking down the street
Blind to every eye she meets
Do you think you’ll be the guy
To make the queen of the angels sigh?🪄
Hello, I love you, won’t you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you, let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you, won’t you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you, let me jump in your game🪄
She holds her head so high, like a statue in the sky
Her arms are wicked, and her legs are long
When she moves my brain screams out this song🪄
Sidewalk crouches at her feet
Like a dog that begs for something sweet
Do you hope to make her see, you fool?
Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel?🪄
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello
I want you, hello, I need my baby
Hello, hello, hello, hello

#12 Little Green Apples (O.C. Smith) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
And I wake up in the mornin’
With my hair down in my eyes and she says “Hi”
And I stumble to the breakfast table
While the kids are goin’ off to school, goodbye🪄
She reaches out and takes my hand
And squeezes it and says, “How you feeling hon?”
And I look across at smiling lips
That warm my heart and see my morning sun🪄
And if that’s not lovin’ me then all I’ve got to say🪄
God didn’t make a little green apples
It don’t rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
No such thing as Doctor Seuss
Disneyland or Mother Goose is no nursery rhyme🪄
God didn’t make a little green apples
And it ain’t gonna rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
When myself is feelin’ low
Think about her face aglow and ease my mind🪄
Sometimes I call her up at home knowing she’s busy
And ask if she could get away and meet me and grab a bite to eat
Then she drops what she’s doin’ and hurries down to meet me
And I’m always late but she sits waitin’ patiently
And smiles when she first sees me ’cause she’s made that way🪄
And if that’s not lovin’ me then all I’ve got to say🪄
God didn’t make a little green apples
It don’t snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes
There’s no such think as make believe
Puppy dogs and autumn leaves and BB guns🪄
God didn’t make a little green apples
And it ain’t gonna rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
When myself is feelin’ low
I think about her face aglow and ease my mind
To ease my mind, to ease my mind

#11 Harper Valley P.T.A. (Jeannie C. Riley) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
I wanna tell you all a story ’bout
A Harper Valley widowed wife
Who had a teenage daughter
Who attended Harper Valley Junior High
Well, her daughter came home one afternoon
And didn’t even stop to play
And she said, “mom, I got a note here from the Harper Valley PTA”🪄
Well, the note said, “Mrs. Johnson
You’re wearin’ your dresses way too high
It’s reported you’ve been drinking
And a-running ’round with men and goin’ wild
And we don’t believe you oughta be a-bringin’ up
Your little girl this way”
And it was signed by the Secretary
Harper Valley PTA🪄
Well, it happened that the PTA was gonna meet
That very afternoon
And they were sure surprised
When Mrs. Johnson wore her miniskirt into the room
And as she walked up to the blackboard
I can still recall the words she had to say
She said, “I’d like to address this meeting of the Harper Valley PTA🪄
Well, there’s Bobby Taylor sittin’ there
And seven times he’s asked me for a date
And Mrs. Taylor sure seems to use a lotta ice
Whenever he’s away
And Mr. Baker can you tell us why
Your secretary had to leave this town?
And shouldn’t widow Jones be told to keep
Her window shades all pulled completely down🪄
Well, Mr. Harper couldn’t be here
‘Cause he stayed too long at Kelly’s Bar again
And if you smell Shirley Thompson’s breath
You’ll find she’s had a little nip of gin
And then you have the nerve to tell me
You think that as the mother I’m not fit
Well, this is just a little Peyton Place
And you’re all Harper Valley hypocrites”🪄
No, I wouldn’t put you on because it really did
It happened just this way
The day my mama socked it to the Harper Valley PTA
The day my mama socked it to the Harper Valley PTA

Lyrics:
Hi everybody
I’m Archie Bell of the Drells, from Houston, Texas
We don’t only sing
But we dance just as good as we walk
In Houston, we just started a new dance
Called the Tighten Up
This is the music we tighten up with🪄
First tighten up on the drums
Come on now, drummer
I want you to tighten it up for me now, oh, yeah
Tighten up on that bass now
Tighten it up, ha, ha, yeah
Now let that guitar fall in
Oh, yeah
Tighten up on that organ now
Yeah, you do the tighten up, yeah, now🪄
I said, if you can do it now
It sure would be tough
Now look here, come on now
Now make it mellow🪄
Let’s tighten it up now
Do the tighten up
Everybody can do it now
So get to it
We’re gonna tighten up
Let’s do the tighten up
You can do it now
So baby, get to it🪄
Look to your left now
Look to your right
Everybody can do it
But don’t you get too tight
Come on and tighten up
Let’s tighten it up now
Let’s tighten it up now
Tighten it up
Oh, do the tighten up
Come on and tighten it up
Tighten it up now, come on now, Billy🪄
Tighten it up, oh, yeah
Sock it to me now, tighten it up
Come on and tighten up that bass, oh, yeah
Now look here, I want that guitar to fall in on there
Tighten it up now
Oh, yeah
Now tighten it up, organ🪄
Yeah, now everybody tighten it up now
Now look here, we gonna make it mellow for you now
We gonna make it mellow now🪄
Oh, tighten it up
You can get it
Move to your left, move to your right
Tighten it up now
Everything will be outta sight
Come on and tighten it up
Tighten it up now
You can do it

#9 Mrs. Robinson (Simon & Garfunkel) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
And here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know
Whoa, whoa, whoa
God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey🪄
We’d like to know a little bit about you for our files
We’d like to help you learn to help yourself
Look around you, all you see are sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home🪄
And here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know
Whoa, whoa, whoa
God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey🪄
Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes
It’s a little secret, just the Robinson’s affair
Most of all, you’ve got to hide it from the kids🪄
Coo, coo, ca-choo, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know
Whoa, whoa, whoa
God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey🪄
Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon
Going to the candidates debate
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you’ve got to choose
Every way you look at this, you lose🪄
Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?
Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you
Woo, woo, woo
What’s that you say, Mrs. Robinson?
Joltin’ Joe has left and gone away
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

#7 This Guy’s in Love with You (Herb Alpert) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
You see this guy
This guy’s in love with you
Yes, I’m in love
Who looks at you the way I do🪄
When you smile I can tell
We know each other very well
How can I show you
I’m glad I got to know you🪄
‘Cause I’ve heard some talk
They say that you think I’m fine
This guy’s in love
And what I’d do to make you mine🪄
Tell me now, is it so?
Don’t let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking
Don’t let my heart keep breaking🪄
‘Cause, I need your love
I want your love, say you’re in love
In love with this guy
If not I’ll just die🪄
Tell me now, is it so?
Don’t let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking
Don’t let my heart keep breaking🪄
‘Cause, I need your love
I want your love, say you’re in love
In love with this guy
If not I’ll just die
