RAINING IN MY HEART
(B & F Bryant)
The sun is out, the sky is blue
There's not a cloud to spoil the view
But it's raining, raining in my heart
The weatherman says clear today
He doesn't know you've gone away
And it's raining, raining in my heart
Oh misery, misery
What's gonna become of me ?
I tell my blues they mustn't show
But soon these tears are bound to flow
'Cause it's raining, raining in my heart
But it's raining, raining in my heart
And it's raining, raining in my heart
Oh misery, misery
What's gonna become of me ?
I tell my blues they mustn't show
But soon these tears are bound to flow
'Cause it's raining, raining in my heart
Raining in my heart
Raining in my heart

(I'M A WILD ONE)
- Sung by Ivan (Jerry Ivan Allison) -
(J. O'Keefe - D. Owens - J. Greenan)
Well, I'm just out of school
Like I'm real, real cool
Gotta dance like a fool
Got the message that I've gotta be a wild
I'm a wild one, ooh yay, I'm a wild one
Gonna break loose
Gonna keep a-movin' wild
Gonna keep a-swingin'
Baby I'm a real wild child
Gonna meet all my friends
Gonna have myself a ball
Gonna tell my friends
Gonna tell them all
That I'm a wild one, ooh yay, I'm a wild one
Gonna break loose
Gonna keep a-movin' wild
Gonna keep a-swingin'
Baby I'm a real wild child
Well, I'm a real wild one
And I like wild fun
In a world gone crazy
Ev'rything seems hazy
I'm a wild one, ooh yay, I'm a wild one
Gonna break loose
Gonna keep a-movin' wild
Gonna keep a-swingin'
Baby I'm a real wild child
Not a doubt, not a maybe

Don't-cha pout, my baby
When I start a-runnin' wild
'Cause I'm a wild one, ooh yay, I'm a wild one
Gonna break loose
Gonna keep a-movin' wild
Gonna keep a-swingin'

Wanna know my name ?

You bet, I'm a wild child
REMINISCING
(King Curtis)
I'm just sittin' here reminiscin'
Wonderin' who you've been kissin'
Baby, woh-a-oh baby
I've been wanderin' all around
There must be a new guy in town
You don't love me any more
I'll get over you-a-oo baby
Although my heart's still sore
Well, you know my heart's still sore
When I think of all the lies you told
You're a junkman, my heart you've sold
You're a cheater and a mean mistreater
When I think of all the fun we had
Kind of makes me feel so sad
I'm lonely for your love
And the longest day I live
It's only you that I'll be thinkin' of
You know I'm thinkin' of
Well, it's you I'm thinkin' of
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

SMOKEY JOE'S CAFÉ
(Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)
One day while I was eating down at Smokey Joe’s Cafe
A-sittin’ there readin’ down at Smokey Joe’s Cafe
A chicken walked in through the door
That I had never seen before
At least I never saw her down at Smokey Joe’s Cafe
And it scared me when she sat right down next to me
Her knees were almost touching mine at Smokey Joe’s Cafe
A chill was runnin’ down my spine at Smokey Joe’s Cafe
I could smell her sweet perfume
She smiled and made my heart go boom
And everybody in the room at Smokey Joe’s Cafe
They said, “Be careful - that chick belongs to Smokey Joe”
And from behind the counter - I saw a man
A chef’s hat on his head and a knife in his hand
He grabbed me by the collar and began to shout
“You better eat up all your beans, boy and clear right on out!”
Well, I know I’ll never eat again at Smokey Joe’s Cafe
And so I’ll never see again at Smokey Joe’s Cafe
I’d rather eat my chili beans at Jim’s or Jack’s or John’s or Gene’s
Than take my chances eating down at Smokey Joe’s Cafe
I risked my life when that Smokey Joe’s a crazy fool
Soft Place In My Heart
(Bob Montgomery)
I've got a soft place in my heart for you
And the dreams it's caused no one will ever know
I guess you know dear my love has always been true
Now there's nothing left to say or do but go
These bitter tears I've shed for you are all in vain
But if you decide you want me back again
Just come back dear and I'll no longer be so blue
I've got a soft place in my heart, my darling, for you
These bitter tears I've shed for you are all in vain
But if you decide you want me back again
Just come back dear and I'll no longer be so blue
I've got a soft place in my heart, my darling, for you
