Honey O Baby of mine....

Here's the title song from Guys and Dolls:

When you see a guy reach for stars in the sky
You can bet that he's doing it for some doll.
When you spot a John waiting out in the rain
Chances are he's insane as only a John can be for a Jane.

When you meet a gent paying all kinds of rent
For a flat that could flatten the Taj Mahal.
Call it sad, call it funny.
But it's better than even money
That the guy's only doing it for some doll.

When you see a Joe saving half of his dough
You can bet there'll be mink in it for some doll.
When a bum buys wine like a bum can't afford
It's a cinch that the bum is under the thumb of some little broad.

When you meet a mug lately out of the jug
And he's still lifting platinum folderol
Call it hell, call it heaven
But it's probable twelve to seven
That the guy's only doing it for some doll.

When you see a sport and his cash has run short
Make a bet that he's banking it with some doll.
When a guy wears tails with the front gleaming white
Who the hell do you think he's tickling pink on Saturday night?

When a lazy slob takes a goody steady job,
And he smells from vitalis and barbasol.
Call it dumb, call it clever
Ah, but you can get odds forever
That the guy's only doing it for some doll
Some doll, some doll
The guy's only doing it for some doll!

Hey folks here's the story 'bout minnie the moocher
She was a lowdown hoocie coocher
She was the roughest toughest frail
But minnie had a heart as big as a whale

Hidehidehidehi (hidehidehidehi)
Hodehodehodeho (hodehodehodeho)
Hedehedehedehe (hedehedehedehe)
Hidehidehideho (hidehidehideho)

She messed around with a bloke named smokie
She loved him though he was cokey
He took her down to chinatown
And showed her how to kick the gong around

Hidehidehidehi (hidehidehidehi)
Whoah (whoah)
Hedehedehedehe (hedehedehedehe)
A hidehidehideho (hidehidehideho)

She had a dream about the king of sweden
He gave her things that she was needin'
He gave her a home built of gold and steel
A diamond car with platinum wheels

A hidehidehidehidehidehidehi (hidehidehidehidehidehidehi)
Hodehodehodehodehodehodeho (hodehodehodehodehodehodeho)
... (...)
... (...)

He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses
Had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes
She sat around and counted them all a million times

Hidehidehidehi (hidehidehidehi)
Hodehodehodeho (hodehodehodeho)
Hedehedehedehe (hedehedehedehe)
Hidehidehideho (hidehidehideho)

Poor min, poor min, poor minnie

Hi mac! Thats a good one.

Baby's good to me you know
She's happy as can be you know
She said so
(Beatles)

Baby I'mawant you
Baby I'maneed you
(Mac Davis?)

Hi George!

"A lowdown hootchie cootcher" may be hard to beat.

...in more ways than one.

Ha!

Since my BABY left me
I found a new place to dwell
Its down at the end of lonely street
At Heartbreak Hotel

first you say you do
and then you don't.
then you say you will
and then you won't.
and I can't remember the rest.

Sugar pie Honey bunch!
You know that I love you
I can't help myself
I love you and no body else

Temptations

Hi dyslexia!

Ummm. I don't get it. Is "you" the endering term? You must be quite a romantic!

Great one, littlek!

You've snapped me out of only being able to think of "baby" ones....

Little darling, it seems the ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since its been clear
Here come the sun
Here comes the sun
Its alright
(Beatles)

Oh darling, please believe me
I'll never do you no harm
Believe me when I tell you
<whoooooooo>
I'll
never
do you
no harm
(Beatles, again)

I also thought up one that is about a man though - perhaps the corniest song ever written:

Good morning Morning,
Hello Sunshine
Wake up Sleepy-head
Now why did we move that bojangled clock
So far away from the bed?
Just one more minute
Thats why we moved it
One more hug or two
Do you love waking up next to me
As much as I love waking up next to you?
(Donna Fargo -- The Happiest Girl in the Whole USA)

And since I can't leave you all with that sacherine taste in your mouths...

Oh baby baby it's a wild world,
it's hard to get by just upon a smile.
Oh baby baby it's a wild world.
I'll always remember you like a child, girl.
(Cat Stevens, Peace terrorist)

One more...

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

Bill Withers, Use Me

Oh sometimes yeah it's true you really do abuse me
You get in a crowd of high class people and then you act real rude to me
But oh baby baby baby baby when you love me I can't get enough
I and I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up


Led Zepp, Ramble On

Babe, baby, baby, I'm Gonna Leave You.
I said baby, you know I'm gonna leave you.
I'll leave you when the summertime,
Leave you when the summer comes a-rollin'
Leave you when the summer comes along.

Baby, baby, I don't wanna leave you,
I ain't jokin' woman, I got to ramble.
Oh, yeah, baby, baby, I believin',
We really got to ramble.
I can hear it callin' me the way it used to do,
I can hear it callin' me back home!

We need the whole song for this one....



The Archies (is that right?) Sugar Sugar

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.

I just can't believe the loveliness
of loving you.
(I just can't believe it's true)
I just can't believe the wonder
of this feeling, too.
(I just can't believe it's true)

Ahh, sugar, ahh,
honey, honey.
you are my candy girl,
and you got me wanting you.

Ahh, honey, ahh,
sugar, sugar.
you are my candy girl,
and you got me wanting you.

When I kissed you, girl,
I knew how sweet a kiss could be.
(I knew how sweet a kiss could be)
like the summer sunshine,
pour your sweetness over me,
(pour your sweetness over me)

Ohh, sugar,
(pour your sugar on me, honey)
(pour your sugar on me, baby)
(I'm gonna make your life so sweet)
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(pour your sugar on me, oh yeah)
(pour your sugar on me, honey)
(pour your sugar on me, baby)
(I'm gonna make your life so sweet)
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(Pour your sugar on me, honey)

Ahh, sugar, ah, ah, ah,
honey, honey.
you are my candy girl,
and you got me wanting you.

Ohhh,
(honey, honey)
(sugar, sugar)
ahh, sugar, sugar
(honey, honey)
(sugar, sugar)
you are my candy girl.

Honey. . .

Ouch! That one makes my teeth hurt.

Great ones again, littlek.

How about....

Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby you're the best
(? - The Spy Who Loved Me song)

Hello honey its me
What did you think when you heard my voice on the radio?
What did the kids say when they knew it was their long lost daddy-o?
(? - The Morning DJ at WOLD)

ooh, that's some good Carly Simon and Harry Chapin, boomer.

Thank you eBeth!

I'm feeling to lazy to look things up tonight. I hoped someone who had a better memory than me would show up to fill in my blanks.

Everybody sing!

Why do you build me up buttercup, baby
Just to let me down and mess me around
And then worst of all you never call, baby
When you say you will
But I love you still
I need you more than anyone, darling
You know that I have from the start
So build me up buttercup, don't break my heart
(I remember the David Johanssen version but it was certainly somebody else way before that)

I can't believe I haven't posted this one yet. It was Mo's favorite lullabye and I sang it to him all the time when he was very small:

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Kind of sad now, when you think about it, all that talk of getting home. I recall that "Carry that Weight" followed on the heels of this song on one Beatles album. Seems like prophecy. Seems like forever ago. Home is here, maybe it was even then.

Walk right in, sit right down
Daddy, let your mind roll on
Walk right in, sit right down
Daddy, let your mind roll on
Everybody's talkin' 'bout a new way of walkin'
Do you want to lose your mind?
Walk right in, sit right down
Daddy, let your mind roll on

Walk right in, sit right down
Baby, let your hair hang down
Walk right in, sit right down
Baby, let your hair hang down
Everybody's talkin' 'bout a new way of walkin'
Do you want to lose your mind?
Walk right in, sit right down
Baby, let your hair hang down

Walk right in, sit right down
Daddy, let your mind roll on
Walk right in, sit right down
Daddy, let your mind roll on
Everybody's talkin' 'bout a new way of walkin'
Do you want to lose your mind?
Walk right in, sit right down
Daddy, let your mind roll on
Daddy, let your mind roll on

First you say you will,
And then you won't
Then you say you did,
And then you don't.
You're undecided now,
So what are you gonna do.

Don't cheat now. Sing what you know from memory.

Black moonlight,
You make the lights of Harlem dimmer.
Sadly I await you,
Even though I hate you.

I found my thrill,
On blueberry hill,
On blueberry hill,
Where I met you.

The moon stood still,
On blueberry hill,
And lingered until
My dreams came true.

<bridge>

The wind in the willow sang,
Such sweet melodies,
But all of those vows we made,
Were never to be.

Though you are gone,
You're part of me still,
For you were my thrill,
On blueberry hill.
