“Folks say that you've
Found someone new
To do the things I used to do for you.
Just call my name,
I'm not ashamed,
I'll come running back to you.Can't sleep at night,
I can't eat a bite.
When you were mine I didn't treat you right.
Just call my name,
I know, I know I'm not ashamed.
I'll come running back to you.”

“Let me tell you 'bout a place
Somewhere up a New York way,
Where the people are so gay,
Twistin' the night away…Here they have a lot of fun,
Puttin' trouble on the run.
Man, you find the old and young,
Twistin' the night away.They're twistin', twistin'
Everybody's feelin' great.
They're twistin', twistin'
They're twistin' the night away.”

Song lyrics, Singles

“All day long they work so hard
Till the sun is goin' down.
Working on the highways and byways
And wearing, wearing a frown.
You hear them moanin' their lives away.
Then you hear somebody say:"That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang.
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang."”

Song lyrics, Ain't That Good News (1964)

“Don't know much about history,
Don't know much Biology.

Don't know much about the French I took.
But I do know that I love you,
And I know that if you love me, too,
What a wonderful world this would be.”
