Get Twisting

Intro:

La, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la

 Verse 1:

 You thought the twist had gone away

 But I tell you it’s here to stay

 So jump up and get twisting

 And you will see what you’ve been missing

 Chorus:

 If you want a good time

 Just twist your feet

 Then grab a partner

 And make your life sweet

 Yeah, yeah

 La, la, la, la, la

 Yeah, yeah

La, la, la, la, la

Verse 2:

Twist and twist your blues away

Swing your swing and sway your sway

Clap your hands and snap your digits

And shake yourself with happy fidgets

 [Chorus]

 Verse 3:

When you start you’ll never stop

 So rock a smile and flip and flop

The twist is the best of all the dances

So hang on tight and don’t lose your “pantses”

 [Chorus]

Coda:

Yeah, yeah

La, la, la, la, la

 Yeah, yeah

Romance Is Such A Funny Thing

Verse 1:
Romance is such a funny thing

Romance can make you want to sing

Or it can upset you so

You cry like a baby

Chorus:

Romance is such a funny thing

But you know you love it so

Because of the love it brings

Bridge:

Love—what a beautiful sound

Love—we’re lost ’til it’s found

Verse 2:

Romance is such a funny thing

Romance is like a key ring

With many keys for many doors

If you dare to enter

[Chorus]

Verse 3:

Romance is such a funny thing

Romance can lead to grumbling

But the best way forward is

With lots of laughter

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

Coda:

Romance is such a funny thing

Romance is such a funny thing

Romance is such a funny thing

Romance is such a funny thing

Here At Home Sweet Home With Your Smile

Verse 1:

Well, my ship comes most every day

But it always sinks in the harbor

Luckily, I miss the boat each time

And every time I sing the blues

I sound like a martyr

Since it doesn’t pay, it must be crime

Bridge:

I guess you could say my life’s a cliché

Not worth a nickel or a dime a dozen

That might be true if not for you

And that cliché that keeps me buzzing

Chorus:

Honey, I love you; honey, I love you; yes, I do

For you, I’d go the extra mile

But why do that when I can fall flat

Here at home sweet home with your smile?

Verse 2:

Well, I punch the clock and I do my time

And I bring home the bacon

It’s a treadmill, honey, with so many lines to toe

It’s dog eat dog and a rat race

And my back is breaking

And sometimes I don’t know which way to go

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Verse 3:

If he who hesitates is lost, then how can it be

That also good things come to those who wait?

Well, ces’t la vie and mercy me

And shooby dooby

Boy, time flies—I’m running late

[Bridge]

[Chorus twice]

Coda:

Here at home sweet home with your smile

Here at home sweet home with your smile

Conditions Of Love

Verse 1:

Build me a house in your heart, my love

But leave out the barbecue pit

Yes, indeed, I’m hot for you

But I’d rather not roast on a spit

Let me stroll in your garden of love

But leave out the quicksand and snakes

And let me climb on your tree limb of love

But make sure that it never breaks

Chorus :

Conditions of love, conditions of love

I hope that I don’t sound unkind

I only make these conditions of love

In hopes that you don’t change your mind

Verse 2:

Build in your heart a castle for me

But don’t let drown in the moat

Kiss me, oh kiss me, so passionately

But don’t give me a sore throat

Let me dine at your table of love

But don’t let me hiccup or choke

And paint me into your portrait of love

But don’t make me look like a joke

Chorus 2:

Conditions of love, conditions of love

I hope that I don’t sound insane

I only make these conditions of love

In hopes that our love has no strain

Verse 3:

Book me a room in your hotel of love

But make sure the towels are soft

Turn oh turn oh turn me on

But don’t ever turn me off

Pick for me a flower of love

But don’t you pick one that stinks

And wash for me your dishes of love

But don’t leave a ring in the sink

Chorus 3:

Conditions of love, conditions of love

I hope that I don’t sound afraid

I only make these conditions of love

In hopes that our love never fades

Verse 4:

Play me a round on your golf course of love

But don’t let me land in the sand

Stroke me with caresses of love

But please first wash off your hand

Dress me in your clothing of love

But make sure it’s a perfect fit

Yes, build me a house in your heart, my love

But leave out the barbecue pit

Chorus 4:

Conditions of love, conditions of love

I hope that I don’t sound naive

I only make these conditions of love

In hopes that you’ll never leave

I have given up gambling and drinking

I no longer smoke or even chew

Has got me thinking

With sugar treats you’ll never find me cheating

Ain’t nothing else worth doing but loving you

I guess you could say that love’s like a school

Where every day you learn a new rule

[Chorus] 

Verse 3:

Well, the school day’s over, but you see by my smirk

That this teacher’s pet wants a lot of homework

[Chorus]

Verse 4:

To all of love’s lessons I’ve been quite alert

Still I don’t think that I’m an expert

Teach me more about love

More about love

More about love

More about … love

Is something we have plenty of

And together we can travel

Through this life as one

Me and you and you and me

Under the sun

To share our love

We both are joined in harmony

Opening Up To Love

Verse 1:

Sharing was a mystery

Until you opened my eyes for me

Walls loomed high in front of me

I couldn’t climb what I couldn’t see

Now my eyes are open

And what I see

Are walls fall crumbling

Right in front of me

Chorus:

And I think that maybe

All along

There were no walls

Just mirages

Just illusions

Just excuses

For not opening up to love

Up to love

Up to love

Verse 2:

Feeling was a fantasy

Until you opened the door for me

 A world beyond eluded me

 I couldn’t touch what I couldn’t see

 Now the door is open

 And what I see

 Are my feelings dancing right in front of me

[Chorus]

[Coda]

Up to love

Up to love

Up to love

Up to love

My Love For You I Can’t Calculate

Verse 1:

Well, ah, one and one is two, two and two is four,

Three and three is six

And four and four is eight

But my love for you I can’t calculate

It’s bigger than a pond, longer than a stream

Deeper than a lake—even if it’s great

My love for you I can’t calculate

Chorus 1:

Oh, honey, I ain’t no scientist

But all my lab tests show that you’re the best

Verse 2:

It’s bigger than a house or a neighborhood

Or a whole city, or even a state

My love for you I can’t calculate

It’s bigger than my arm, bigger than my leg,

Bigger than my tummy after all I ate

My love for you I can’t calculate

Chorus 2:

Oh, honey, I ain’t no mathematician

But I know my love’s bigger than

A promise from a politician

Verse 3:

It’s bigger than the world or the universe

Or the defense budget

Or the forces of hate

My love for you I can’t calculate

It won’t sit still and it can’t be tamed

It’s growing all the time at a dizzying rate

My love for you I can’t calculate

Chorus 3:

Oh, honey, I ain’t no Einstein

But when I add you up

The sum is something fine

Coda:

Well, ah, one and one is two, two and two is four

Three hundred sixty raised to the 10^th power

Squared and divided by my age is…

Well, I don’t know—but, see, honey, my love for you—it’s just like that

My love for you I can’t cal-cu—

My love for you I can’t cal-cu—

My love for you I can’t calculate

Oh, no!

A Song In My Heart

It’s been so long

Since I’ve had a song in my heart

For ages, love just hasn’t had

A chance to start

Chorus 1:

Thank you for the rhythm

Thank you for the rhyme         

Thank you for the memories

So strong in so short a time

Verse 2:

It’s been so long

Since my life’s been filled with joy

I’ve been just like a little child

With a broken toy

Chorus 2:

Thank you for the laughter

Thank you for the smiles

Thank you for the reason

To go on after so many miles

Bridge:

It seemed that love was just a silly game

I thought that all I’d get was more of the same

I lost my hope

And then you gave me a new aim

The lights went out

But now there’s light from a bright new flame

Now there’s light from a bright new flame

Verse 3:

It feels so great for me to feel love all around

I’d calculate that this song’s full of happy sounds

Thank you for the pleasure

Thank you for the prize

Thank you for the treasure of just

Looking into your eyes

It’s been so long

Since I’ve had a song in my heart

For ages love just hasn’t had

A chance to start

Since I’ve had a song in my heart

Yes, it’s been so long

Since I’ve had a song in my heart

It’s been so long

Since I’ve had a song in my heart
