“When this old world gets me down and there's no love to be foundI close my eyes and soon I find I'm in a playground in my mindWhere the children laugh and the children playAnd we sing a song all day.”

“Tracy, when I'm with youSomethin' you doBounces me off the ceilingTracy, day after dayWhen you're this wayI get a lovin' feelin'.”

“My folks were always putting her down (down, down)Because her laundry came back brown (brown, brown)I don't care if they think she's badI fell in love cuz she looked so sadI got a date tonight with the Leader Of the Laundromat .”

“Your lips are thrillingMy arms are willingI know that I shouldn't stay.If I don't leave I'll be sorryWhat will my Mary say?”

“One and two and three and four,Tell them what the girlie wore.It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikiniThat she wore for the first time today,An itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikiniSo in the locker she wanted to stay”

“Catch a falling star an’ put it in your pocket,Never let it fade away!Catch a falling star an’ put it in your pocket,Save it for a rainy day!For love may come an' tap you on the shoulder,Some starless night!”
