GOT A LOT O' LIVIN' TO DO! (First Version)
(Aaron Schroeder / Ben Weisman)
There's a moon that's big and bright in the Milky Way tonight
But the way you act you never woulda know'd it's there
So baby, time's a wastin', a lot o' kisses I ain't been tastin'
I don't know about you, but I'm a-gonna get my share
Ooh, well I've got a lot o' livin' to do, a whole lot o' lovin' to do
Come on baby to make it fun takes two
Oh yes, I've got a lot o' livin' to do, whole lot of lovin' to do
And there's no one who I'd rather do it with than you
Well, you're the prettiest leg I've seen, but you treat me so doggone mean
Ain't you got no heart, I'm dyin' to hold you near
Why do you keep me waitin', why don't you start co-operatin'
Ain't the things I say the things you want to hear
Ooh, well I've got a lot o' livin' to do, a whole lot o' lovin' to do
Come on baby to make it fun takes two
Oh yes, I've got a lot o' livin' to do, whole lot of lovin' to do
And there's no one who I 'd rather do it with than you
There's no one who I'd rather do it with than you

DETOUR
(Paul Westmoreland)
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign
Headed down life's crooked road
Lots of things I never knowed
Because of me not knowin', I now pine
Trouble got in the trail
Spent the next five years in jail
Should have read that detour sign
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh these bitter things I find,
Should have read that detour sign
When I got right to the place
Where it said "About Face"
I thought that all my worries were behind
But the farther I go
The more sorrow I know
Should have read that detour sign
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign
When I got stuck in the mud
All my hopes dropped with a thud
I guess that my heart strings are made of twine
Have no willpower to get
>From the hole that I'm in yet
Should have read that detour sign
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh, these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign
Should have read that detour sign
Should have read that detour sign

PARTY (1st Version)
(Jessie Mae Robinson)
I feel it in my leg, I feel it in my shoe
Tell me pretty baby If you think you feel it too
Let's have a party, ooohhhhh, let's have a party
Send to the store and let's buy some more
And let's have a party tonight
So, baby paint your lips and regulate your wig
And bring along a shovel if you really wanna dig
Let's have a party, ooohhhhh, let's have a party
Send to the store and let's buy some more
And let's have a party tonight
I've never kissed a bear, I've never kissed a goon
But I can shake a chicken in the middle of the room
Let's have a party, ooohhhhh, let's have a party
Send to the store and let's buy some more
And let's have a party tonight
We're really gonna have a party tonight!

PARTY (2nd Version)
(Jessie Mae Robinson)
Some people like to rock, some people like to roll
But movin' and a groovin' gonna satisfy my soul
Let's have a party (Let's have a party)
Oooohhhh, let's have a party (Let's have a party)
Send to the store and let's buy some more
And let's have a party tonight
I've never kissed a bear, I've never kissed a goon
But I can shake a chicken in the middle of the room
Oooohhhh, let's have a party (Let's have a party)
Send to the store and let's buy some more
Send to the store and let's buy some more
And let's have a party tonight
The meat is on the stove, the bread is gettin hot
Ev'rybody come and taste the possum Poppa shot
Oooohhhh, let's have a party (Let's have a party)
Send to the store and let's buy some more
Send to the store and let's buy some more
And let's have a party tonight
We're really gonna have a party tonight!

MEDLEY
("Teddy Bear" - "Got A Lot O' Livin' To Do" - "Hot Dog")
I don't wanna be your tiger
'Cos tigers play too rough
I don't wanna be your lion
'Cos lions ain't the kind you love enough
Ooh, well I got a lot a livin' to do
Whole lot o' lovin' to do
And there's no one who
I'd rather do it with than you
Hot dog, my heart is gonna go insane
Hot dog, when you come walkin' off that train
You know how lonely I have been
But when that Sante Fe pulls in, hot dog, baby, hot dog

LONESOME COWBOY
(Sid Tepper / Roy C. Bennett)
I am just a lonesome cowboy
And I'm travelling all alone
I ain't even got a nickel
To call my baby on the phone
(Whistle)
(Ride, ride, ride)
Just beyond the mountain lies a city
And I hear it calling me (Me-eee)
Saddle up and ride you lonesome cowboy
Here is where you'll find your destiny (Destiny)
In my dreams the lights shine bright and pretty
Near to me and yet so far (Far)
Will I always be a lonesome cowboy
Am I only reaching for a star (For a star, for a star, for a star)
(Ride) Ride, ride, ride (Ride along, cowboy) cowboy, cowboy
(Sing) A-Sing, a-sing, sing (Sing your song, cowboy) cowboy, cowboy
Will I ever leave this lonesome valley
Really see the lights that shine
Gotta find what lies beyond the mountain
Gotta rope and tie that dream of mine (Dream of mine, dream of mine, dream of mine)
I am just a lonesome cowboy (Doo-wah)
And I'm travelling all alone (Doo-wah)
If you don't call me, baby (Doo-wah)
Then I'm never comin' home
Then I'm never comin' home
**********
HOT DOG
(Jerry Leiber / Mike Stoller)
(Wah-wah, wah-wah)
Hot dog, you say you're really comin' back
Hot dog, I'm waitin' at the railroad track
Hot dog, you say you're comin' home for good
Hot dog, I'm goin' keep on knockin' wood
And baby I can hardly wait
I'm gonna meet you at the gate, hot dog
I fell in love with you and then you went away
But now you're comin' home to stay
Hot dog, soon ev'rything will be all right
Hot dog, we're gonna have a ball tonight
I got a pocketful of dimes
It's gonna be just like old times, hot dog
You went away and ev'ry day was misery
But now you're comin' back to me
Hot dog, my heart is gonna go insane
Hot dog, when you come walkin' off the train
You knop how lonely I have been
But when that Santa Fe pulls in, hot dog, baby, hot dog

MEAN WOMAN BLUES
(Claude Demetrius)
I got a woman mean as she can be
I got a woman mean as she can be
Sometimes I think she's almost mean as me
A black cat up and died of fright 'cause she crossed his path last night
I got a woman mean as she can be
Sometimes I think she's almost mean as me
Kiss so hard she bruise my lips, hurts so good my heart just flips
I got a woman mean as she can be
Sometimes I think she's almost mean as me
(Instrumental Break)
Strangest gal I ever had, never happy unless she's mad
I got a woman mean as she can be
Sometimes I think she's almost mean as me
Yeah
Uh-huh-huh
Teah
(Instrumental Break)
She makes love without a smile, ooh, hot dog it drives me wild
I got a woman mean as she can be
Sometimes I think she's almost mean as me
Sometimes I think she's almost mean as me

(LET ME BE YOUR) TEDDY BEAR
(Kal Mann / Bernie Lowe)
Baby, let me be your lovin' teddy bear
Put a chain around my neck and lead me anywhere
Oh, let me be (Oh, let him be) your teddy bear
I don't want to be your tiger 'cause tigers play too rough
I don't want to be your lion 'cause lions ain't the kind you love enough
Just wanna be your Teddy Bear
Put a chain around my neck and lead me anywhere
Oh, let me be (Oh, let him be) your Teddy Bear
Baby let me be around you every night
Run your fingers through my hair and cuddle me real tight
Oh, let me be (Oh, let him be) your Teddy Bear
I don't want to be your tiger 'cause tigers play too rough
I don't want to be your lion 'cause lions ain't the kind you love enough
Just wanna be your Teddy Bear
Put a chain around my neck and lead me anywhere
Oh, let me be (Oh, let him be) your Teddy Bear
Oh, let me be (Oh, let him be) your Teddy Bear
I just wanna be your Teddy Bear

LOVING YOU (1st Version)
(Jerry Leiber / Mike Stoller)
I will spend my whole life through loving you, just loving you
Winter, summer, springtime too, loving you, loving you
Makes no difference where I go or what I do
You know that I'll always be loving you, just you
And if I'm seen with someone new, don't be blue, don't you be blue
I'll be faithful, I'll be true, always true, true to you
There is only one for me and you know who
You know that I'll always be loving you
