I took my troubles down to Madam Ruth
You know that gypsy with the gold-cap tooth
She's got a pad at 34th and Vine
Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion No. 9
I told her that I was a flop with chicks
I been this way since 1956
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign
She said what you need is Love Potion No. 9
She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
She said I'm gonna' mix up right here in the sink
It smelled like turpentine, it looked like India ink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes-I took a drink
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' every thing in sight
But when I kissed the cop at 34th and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion No. 9

Earth Angel, Earth Angel, will you be mine
My darlin' dear, love you all the time
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you
Earth Angel, Earth Angel, the one I adore
Love you forever and ever more
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you
I fell for you and I knew the vision of your loveliness
I hope and pray that someday
I'll be the vision of your happiness
Earth Angel, Earth Angel, please be mine
My darlin' dear, love you all the time
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you

Well that'll be the day, when you say goodbye
Yes-That'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day, when I die
Well you give me all your lovin' and your turtle dovin'
All your hugs and kisses, and your money too
Wella, you know you love me baby, still you tell me maybe
That someday, well I'll be through
Wella, when Cupid shot his dart, he shot it at your heart
So if we ever part, then I'll leave you
You say you owe me, and you tell me boldly
That someday well I'll be through

In the still of the night I held you, held you tight
'Cause I love, love you so
Promise I'll never, let you go
In the still of the night
I remember, that night in May
The stars were bright above
I'll hope and I'll pray
To keep, your preci-ous love
Well before the night
Hold me again with all of your might
In the still of the night

Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue Moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms would ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked the moon had turned to Gold
Blue Moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
And when it's cold outside, I've got the month of May
Well I guess you say
What can make me feel this way
My girl-talkin' bout my girl
I don't need no money, fortune or fame
I got all the riches baby, one man can claim
I got sunshine on a cloudy day with my girl
I even got the month of May with my girl

Gloria, it's not Marie

It's Gloria, and she's not in love with me
Can't you see, it's not Marie
It's Gloria, and not Cheri
It's Gloria, and she's not in love with me
Well, maybe, she loves me
But who am I to know
Yes, maybe she loves me
But who am I to know

Happy birthday, happy birthday baby-Oh, I love you so
Sixteen candles make a lovely light
But not as bright as your eyes tonight
Blow out the candles, make your wish come true
For I'll be wishing that you love me too
You're only sixteen, but you're my teenage queen
You're the prettiest, loveliest girl I've ever seen
Sixteen candles in my heart will glow
Forever and ever, for I love you so

Tweedley deedly dee, tweedly, deedly dee
Tweedley deedly dee, tweedly, deedly dee
Tweedley deedly dee, tweedly, deedly dee
Tweet, (whistle), tweet (whistle, whistle)-tweet, tweet
He rocks in the tree-tops all day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a-singin' his song
All the little birds on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin goin' tweet, tweet, tweet
Rockin' robin, rock, rock rockin' robin
Go rockin' robin 'cause we're really gonna rock tonight
Every little swallow, every chickadee
Every little bird in the tall oak tree
The wise ole' owl, the big black crow
Flappin' their wings singin' "go bird go"
A pretty little raven at the birdman's stand
Taught him how to do the bop and it was grand
They started goin' steady and bless my soul
He out bopped the buzzard and the oriole
