Little girl in bloom With happy heart you wipe aside Any sadness, sorrow or gloom Tomorrow you'll be a blushing bride That loves her blushing groom Little girl in bloom You watch the men play cricket From the window in your room See the ball go from bat to wicket Pass away the afternoon Little girl in bloom Carries a secret The child she carries in her womb She feels something sacred She's gonna be a mammy soon When your daddy comes home Don't tell him till alone When your daddy comes back Go tell him the facts Just relax and see how he's gonna react Little girl in bloom All the clouds will go drifting by So sing your lullabying tune Every word is in your eyes As you sit and softly croon Little girl in bloom Your love it fills the air With the scent of the sweetest, sweet perfume You feel so good you just don't care You're gonna be a mammy soon When your daddy comes home Don't tell him till alone When your daddy comes back Go tell him the facts Just relax and see how he's gonna react |

The senorita took off her bobby socks She said she's gonna wear a skirt that shocks She's pulling out all the stops To get her Randolph back again Meanwhile Randolph, he's back at the ranch He's getting ready for tonight's song and dance He's doesn't know he doesn't stand a chance His last affair will be his last romance The senorita will be there waiting Don't go my Randolph slow tango with me Underneath the Latin moonlight The danced and seen a falling star in flight To the strum of guitars she held him tight She wants her Randolph back again Meanwhile it's worthwhile for Randolph to wait 'Till he gets the nerve then he won't hesitate He doesn't know but he's just bit the bait He just asked if he could make a date The senorita will be there waiting Don't go my Randolph slow tango with me The senorita's heart is in love She wearing white tonight, looks as pure as a dove She's thanking God and all the heavenly stars above Randolph's romance is back again Meanwhile Randolph smiles and says he'll give her ten She doesn't come so he just counts again And he's been there since he does not know when He's thinks she's stood him up but in the end The senorita won't keep him waiting Don't go my Randolph slow tango with me ooh la-la... Senorita dance cheek to cheek ooh la-la... We will dance off into the sky |

I could wait and watch you
See it all unwind I could wait and look at you See you change your mind Well, even though i'd enjoyed it The truth to tell Kid, I've got to leave Those scenes behind Here I go into a new day Here I go into a new way When you stood in that shady doorway You winked your wicked eye I looked at you in wide eyed wonder Smiled, and said "hi" Just like you did woman with That groovy guy that just passed by Well, even though I adored you the truth to tell Kid, I've got to leave those scenes behind Here I go into a new day Here I go into a new way I guess I could call you my woman But freedom I need So down that road I'll be walking Got to have time and space to breathe Even though I loved you The truth I've got to tell I enjoyed every moment But kid, you know darned well I've got to leave Here I go into a new day Here I go into a new way |

These words I wrote, play and sing to you
Do not convey the love I brought and bring to you For this is a song for while I'm away To say all the things I'd love to say You are my life, my everything, you're all I have You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true You're all I have Please heed me now these words I have to say Now I'm headed for the border You see this song it ends right at the start I swore when I was younger No one would win my heart And far away hills look greener still But soon they'll all slip away It's then I'll be returning And I'll be coming home to stay You are my life, my everything, you're all I have You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true You're all I have Please heed me now these words I have to say |

I was seldom sober in nineteen hundred and fifthy-four Hey baby, maybe 'cause my baby had a baby by me And I was still drinking dry gin while you cried "No, no more" And you were lyin' and a-cryin', and your tears fell dying on the floor And I'm brought down, and I don't think I can get up again Brought down, my heart is hurt again You were the fine lady in the early mornings that always painted her toes And lookin' towards the east you'd say hello to the early dawn before they rose And you were the love lady that always hung up her finely pressed clothes And sayin' so long to the western sundown, you taught me how it grows And I'm brought down, and I don't think I can get up again Brought down, and you just hurt my heart again Brought down Brought down I'm brought down Brought down Brought down Brought down Down I'm brought down, and I don't think I can get up again I'm brought down, I'm hurt, it's bad [Brought down] God, it's a shame there's no more Dr. Strangely Strange {DSS=1960/70's band} [Brought down] And I'm Brou.....[Brought down]......ught down [Brought down] And there must be more to life than this |

Up till now I used to pass my time
Drinking beer so slowly, sometimes wine No God, air, water or sunshine And honesty was my only excuse I took your love and I used it Up till now my youthful stage A useless rage, a torn out page, a worn out gauge A dirty shade, a big charade, a has been made And honesty was my only excuse I took your love and I used it I never, I never, I never Up till now my love life A few sweet kisses, a little missus, a fork and knife a happy home, a hand to hold, a land to roam And honesty was my only excuse I took my life in my own hands and I abused it Up till now I used to tap dance Take a girl by the hand saying I need your , I need your romance Oh I had so many chances And honesty was my only excuse I took your love and abused it Up till now the path of life was fair enough Enough was fair, all was right And now I know, I see the light And honesty was my only excuse |

Pack up your bags Leave family society Oh come with me Where they treat you well At the door Old Lou the jew Will welcome you In the corner lies the hotel At this refuge of mercy Head of the table King of laughter Percy And if you speak too much In company You'll soon be heard By that mynah bird and whiskey At the top You'll find another brother Go ask my mother She knows them all very well...hotel |

The hero he rode a white horse
Across the desert to where his woman was He'd been riding for four days When he saw the tower where she was locked In the moonlight he left his old steed Near the drawbridge that he crossed And by way of a rope ladder He tip-toed to where his woman was If I recall you're the actor Who followed the stars Searching for The lost city of Mars Hoping time would heal the scars Knowing fate held no bars Are you the one That I think you are? Are you the hero or are you the madman? The madman climbed The steeple spire |

In the later forties
When Diddy Levine lived with Eunice King He gave her the ring that she wore Janice the smiling daughter Who came from a marriage way before But Eunice was the father that she always saw Though they never never never never told her She always knew the score You see kids were so much wiser after the wars But Diddy hadn't have enough She had to get some more On a ration piece of paper, she wrote |

The friendly ranger paused
And scooping a bowl of beans Spreading them like stars Falling like justice on different scenes ";I'm damned"; ";Indeed, comrade"; ";I'm being bombed"; And all the people's faces turned strawberry blonde By the morning gate the friendly ranger waits For the sun making sure it's not late ";Just in time"; ";No need to fear"; ";Well, just in case"; And all the people are happy for another year And in the evening shade he climbs upon the sun Getting it's glow He goes on Singing this song To feel the goodness glowing inside To walk down a street with my arms about your hips, side by side To play with a sad eyed child till he smiles To look at a starry sky at night, realize the miles To see the sun set behind the steeple Clontarf Castle, no King, Queen or knightly people A coal fire and it's pouring rain To wave goodbye to a very good friend, never meet again Little thoughts bring little memories of you to me |
