Lyrics


1. Flaming Star
(Wayne / Edwards)

Ev'ry man has a flaming star
A flaming star o-o-over his shoulder
And when a man sees his flaming star
He knows his time, his time has come

Flaming star don't shine on me, flaming star
Flaming star keep behind me, flaming star
There's a lot of livin' I gotta do
Give me time to make a few dreams come true
Flaming star (Flaming star)

When I ride I feel that flaming star
That flaming star o-o-over my shoulder
And so I ride front of that flaming star
Never lookin' around, never lookin' around

One fine day I'll see that flaming star
That flaming star o-o-over my shoulder
And when I see that old flaming star
I'll know my time, my time has come

Flaming star don't shine on me, flaming star
Flaming star keep behind me, flaming star
There's a lot of livin' I gotta do
Give me time to make a few dreams come true
Flaming star



2. Wonderful World
(D. Fletcher / M. Flett)

This is a wonderful day
It's as bright as a day's ever been
There is a big yellow sun looking down
On a wonderful scene

Up in the blue sky birds fly
And sing our cares away
And out of each throat each note
Greets a wonderful day

There is the sound of a symphony
Carried along on the breeze
Even the flowers are swaying in time
With the leaves on the trees

Heaven is found right here on the earth
It surrounds us in the wonderful things all around
In this wonderful wonderful
Wonderful wonderful world

Wonderful world, this wonderful world
Wonderful world, this wonderful world
Wonderful world, this wonderful world



3. Night Life
(Giant / Baum / Kaye)

Oh the neons are a gleamin' and the gamblers are a dreamin'
Oh it's night life, yeh! night life
The chips go a spillin' and it's time to make a killin'
Oh it's night life, yeh! night life
Oh their pockets are a-burnin' and the money flies
The dice go a-turnin' and you hit snakes eyes
You can't be a quitter when you're caught up in the glitter of
Night life ... night life

There're long legged women who will take you for a trimmin' yes it's night life
Oh night life.
Their lips taste like honey but they're out to spend your money
Yes it's .. night life. Oh yeh!
Just roll that seven and you'll hear them shriek
Seven come eleven it's a lucky streak
You can't beat the drama, the excitement and the glamour
Of the night life, I said that night life' yeah, yeah

So place your bet, come on make your play
Though you may regret it at the break of day
I said you can't be a quitter when you're caught up in the glitter of the
Night life ... the night life
Yeh! the night life, good ol' night life
Uh huh, night life, yes, yes, night life, oh night life



4. All I needed was the rain
( Ben Weisman / Sid Wayne )

Hello misfortune, how's my old friend "Mr. Misery"?
I've been away so long I bet you thought you'd seen the last of me
Got no bed, to rest my head
No doors or walls or window pane
Now all I needed was the rain
rain, rain, rain, rain

Met a little honey at the "Buzzin' Bumble Bee Cafe"
Yes I did
One drink and all my money and that honey bee had flown away
I'm 'bout as low, as I can go
I don't really mean to complain
Now all I needed was the rain
rain, rain...rain..rain

(parlé)
All I needed was this rain...
All I needed was the rain...um..um.....



5. Too Much Monkey Business
(Chuck Berry)

Salesman talkin' to me try'n' to run me up a creek
Said "You can buy it, go on try it, you can pay me next week"
Uh-uh, too much monkey bus'ness, a-too much monkey bus'ness
A-too much monkey bus'ness for me to be involved in
Oh-ho-ho

Blonde hair, good lookin' try'n' to get me hooked
Wants me to marry, settle down and get a home and and write a book
Uh-uh, too much monkey bus'ness, a-too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in
Oh-ho-ho

Pay phone, somethin' wrong, dime gone,
Will mail oughtta sue the op'rator for tellin' me a tale
Uh-uh, too much monkey bus'ness, a-too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in
Oh-ho-ho

Oh-ho-ho ...... Oh-ho-ho ...... Oh-ho-ho ...... Oh-ho-ho

Been to Vietnam, been a fightin' in the war
Army bar, army chow, army clothes, army car
Uh-uh, too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in
Oh-ho-ho

Workin' in the fillin' station, too many tasks
Wipe the windo', check the tyres, check the oil, dollar gas
Uh-uh, too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in
Oh-ho-ho

Blonde haired, good lookin' tryin' to get me hooked
Wants me to marry, get a home, settle down and and write a book
Uh-uh, too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in
Oh-ho-ho
Too much monkey business, Oh-ho-ho, too much monkey business, Oh-ho-ho
Too much monkey business, Oh-ho-ho too much monkey business, Oh-ho-ho
Too much monkey business, Oh-ho-ho too much monkey business, Oh-ho-ho

7. She's A Machine
(Joy Byers)

(Recorded for the film "Easy Come, Easy Go" but not used)

Well she's a earthquakin', hip shakin'
Soul breakin', love makin' machine hey! hey!

She's a man stalkin', smooth talkin'
Slow walking cat, you know what I mean hey! hey!
She'll wrap those arms around you like a grizzly bear
She'll kiss you every fifteen minutes and let you up for air

'Cos she's a she's a earthquakin', hip shakin'
Soul breakin', love makin' machine hey! hey!
Alright! Hey!

Well she's a wild movin' smooth groovin'
Clock tickin' love makin' machine hey! hey!
She's a real freezin' rough squeezin'
Hell teasin' cat, you know what I mean hey! hey!
She'll love you late and like it, sweet as she can be
She'll make you blow your mind before you can count from 1 to 3



8. Do The Vega
(Giant / Baum / Kaye)

Do the Vega take a chance and do the Vega
If you dance it you'll have fun
The fever gets ya and then I'll bet ya
You'll shake like a sun of a gun

First you make the right connection
Choose the one whose your selection
Tho' you risk your reputation
You'll increase you're circulation

Roll and keep you're shoulders busy
Like a wheel spin 'till you're dizzy
Kick your heels when you've the notion
Shake and shimmy that's the motion

(Do the Vega take a chance and do the vega
If you dance it you'll have fun
The fever gets ya and then I'll bet ya
Shake like a sun of a gun)

Shake like a sun of a gun
Shake like a sun of a gun
Shake like a sun of a gun



9. Tiger Man
(Lewis / Burns)

I am the king of the jungle
They call me the Tiger Man
I am the king of the jungle
They call me Tiger Man
If you cross my path
You take your own life in your hands

Yeh, I get up on a mountain
And I call my bob cat back
Yeh, I get up on a mountain
And I call my bob cat back
My, that cat comes a runnin'
And the hound dogs get way back
