Girl, I've been watching you
From so far across the floor now baby
That's nothing new
I've watched you so many times before now baby
I see that look in your eyes
And what it's telling me
And you know girl that I'm not shy
I'm glad you picked up on my telepathy now baby

You read my mind
Girl I wanna shake you down
I could give you all the loving you need
Come on let me take you down
We'll go all the way to heaven

Oh, I've been missing you
And the way you make me feel inside
What can I do?
I can tell you got your pride now baby
Come to me, well, well
Let me ease your mind, oh baby
I got the remedy, yes I do
Now give me just a little time

You read my mind
Girl I wanna shake you down
I could give you all the loving you need
Come on let me take you down
We'll go all the way to heaven

Girl, I've been missing you
And you know it's funny
Every time I get to feeling this way
I wish I had you near me, i
I wanna reach out and touch you

I can't stop thinking of the things we do
The way you call me, baby, when I'm holding you
I shake and I shiver when I know you're near
Then you whisper in my ear, oh baby, well, well

You read my mind, you know you did
Girl I wanna shake you down
I could give you all the loving you need
Come on let me take you down
We'll go all the way to heaven
I love you then and I always will

Shake You Down-Gregory Abbott

(now I'm going by memory with this song. It is way old. I don't have a pick-up anymore and all I have left is a thick 45rpm record)

Daddy dear, daddy dear
Is the world really round?
Tell me where
is the bluebird of happiness found?
If you look up above
Is the sky really blue?
And when you were a child
did you cry like I do?

Little child, little child
Yes the world's really round.
And the bluebird of happiness will surely be found.
If you look up above
Yes the sky's really blue
And when I was a child
I would cry like you do.

- Little Child - Danny Kaye and Dena Kaye

I'll try to find a record player and correct the misremembered parts.

I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill
Oh Blueberry Hill when I found you

The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill
And lingered until my dreams came true

*Tho' wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Were never to be
Tho' we're apart, you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill

(Repeat *)
Blueberry Hill - Fats Domino

My boy lollipop
pop, pop, pop, pop

You make my heart go giddy-up
pop, pop, pop, pop

You are as sweet as candy
You're my sugar dandy

- My boy lollipop - Milly Small

(good grief, but I am remembering the old ones today )

Sugar, ahh,
Honey, honey.
You are my candy girl,
And you got me wanting you.
Honey, ahh,
Sugar, sugar.
You are my candy girl,
And you got me wanting you.

The Candy Man
Sammy Davis Jr.

Who can take a sunrise
Sprinkle it with dew
Cover it in chocolate
And a miracle or two

The candy man
The candy man can
The candy man can because he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good

Who can take a rainbow
Wrap it in a sigh
Soak it in the sun
And make a strawberry lemon pie

The candy man
The candy man can
The candy man can because he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good

Who can turn the world on with her smile
Who can take a nothing day
And suddenly make it all seem worthwhile

Well it’s you girl and you should know it
With each glance
and every little movement you show it

Love is all around no need to waste it
You can never tell why don’t you take it

You’re gonna make it after all
You’re gonna make it after all


- The Mary Tyler Moore - TV show song.

We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it

We're not gonna take it
Never did and never will
We're not gonna take it
Gonna break it, gonna shake it,
Let's forget it better still


We're Not Gonna Take It, The Who

Hmm, being new here I may well have got the rules (amorphous as they appear) wrong, but I couldn't help thinking of this obscure little 80s tune...

Tay, tay, tay, tay - t-t-t-t-tay tay (or whatever)
Take or leave it
Somebody please believe us
We are never gonna be respectable...
Life may change
But you'll never change us
We are never gonna be respectable

sung by Mel and Kim, not sure if anyone would want to claim the dubious honour of composer!

Who are you
Hu hu hu hu
Who are you
Hu hu hu hu

There's a place where I know you walked
The love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup
I only feel right on my knees
I spill out like a sewer hole
Yet still receive your kiss
How can I measure up to anyone new
After such a love as this

Who are you
Hu hu hu hu
Who are you
Hu hu hu hu

Who Are You?, The Who


The Only WO'N!
