Co-Co

(Chinn — Chapman)

Co-Co would dream of dancing
At midnight beneath the stars
'Cos when it comes to dancing
Co-Co's a star!
He danced in a ring of fire
That circled the island shore
And as the flames got higher
They'd all call for more and more

Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chika-ka-ho go go Co-Co

Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho go go Co-Co

Across the silver water
The sound of the island drums
Echoing Co-Co's laughter
Yeah, Co-Co's the one
He moves with the cool of moonlight
Under a tropic sky
Then into the morning sunlight
he'd still hear them cry and cry

Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chika-ka-ho go go Co-Co

Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho go go Co-Co

Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho go go Co-Co…

Chop Chop

(Chinn — Chapman)

If you walk down through the woods today
You won't believe your eyes
There's an old log cabin on the Greatway River
Underneath the rolling skies
A man called Woodrow all alone
You can hear the woodchop's cry
He swings his axe all day and chops the trees away

Chop chop chop you can hear him singing
Chop chop chop, as his axe is swinging
Chop chop chop through the woods it's ringing
Timber! Timber!
Chop chop chop, give it all you can
Chop chop chop sang the woodchop man
Chop chop chop through the woods it rang
Timber! Timber!

It's a bright light shines through the towering pines
You can hear the woodman's call
Through the raging rapids of the Greatway River
You can see the pine trees fall
As the sun goes down you can hear the sound
That echoes Woodrow's call
He puts his axe away until another day

Chop chop chop you can hear him singing
Chop chop chop, as his axe is swinging
Chop chop chop through the woods it's ringing
Timber! Timber!
Chop chop chop, give it all you can
Chop chop chop sang the woodchop man
Chop chop chop through the woods it rang
Timber! Timber!

Timber! Timber!

Chop chop chop you can hear him singing
Chop chop chop, as his axe is swinging
Chop chop chop through the woods it's ringing
Timber! Timber!
Chop chop chop, give it all you can
Chop chop chop sang the woodchop man
Chop chop chop through the woods it rang
Timber! Timber!...

Alexander Graham Bell

(Chinn - Chapman)

A candle flickers in a window
Two thousand miles away she waits there
There's a young man thinking by a window
How was she to know just how much he cared
He always knew just what he could do
He always knew that his dream would come true

Alexander Graham Bell
Well, he knew darned well
That he could find the only way
To talk across the USA
Telephone, telephone
Never be on your own
Many many years ago
He started something with his first "Hello, hello"
Alexander Graham Bell
Alexander Graham Bell
Alexander Graham, Alexander Graham
Alexander Graham Bell

The sun rises early in the morning
Millions of people still unaware
Of something he discovered without warning
So he could show a girl just how much he cared
He always knew just what he could do
He always knew that his dream would come true

Alexander Graham Bell
Well, he knew darned well
That he could find the only way
To talk across the USA
Telephone, telephone
Never be on your own
Many many years ago
He started something with his first "Hello, hello"
Alexander Graham Bell, Alexander Graham Bell

Alexander Graham Bell
Well, he knew darned well
That he could find the only way
To talk across the USA
Telephone, telephone
Never be on your own
Many many years ago
He started something with his first "Hello, hello"...

Wig-Wam-Bam

(Chinn — Chapman)

Hiawatha didn't bother too much
'Bout Minnie Ha-Ha and her tender touch
Till she took him to the silver stream
Then she whispered words like he had never heard
That made him all shudder inside when she said

Wig-wam bam, gonna make you my man
Wam bam bam, gonna get you if I can
Wig-wam bam, wanna make you understand
Try a little touch, try a little too much
Just try a little wig-wam bam

Running Bear never cared enough
About Little White Dove and her tender love
Till she took him to the silver stream
She told him all about what he couldn't live without
And made him all weak inside when she said

Wig-wam bam, gonna make you my man
Wam bam bam, gonna get you if I can
Wig-wam bam, wanna make you understand
Try a little touch, try a little too much
Just try a little Wig-wam bam

Wig-wam bam sham-a-lam
Wam bam bam sham-a-lam
Wig-wam bam sham-a-lam
Wam bam bam sham-a-lam

Hiawatha didn't bother too much
About Minnie Ha-Ha and her tender touch
Till she took him to the silver stream
Then she whispered words like he'd never heard
That made him all shudder inside when she said

Wig-wam bam, gonna make you my man
Wam bam bam, gonna get you if I can
Wig-wam bam, wanna make you understand
Try a little touch, try a little too much
Just try a little wig-wam bam, and she said

Wig-wam bam, gonna make you my man...

Little Willy

(Chinn - Chapman)

North side , east side
Little Willy, Willy wears the crown, he's the king around town
Dancing, glancing
Willy drives them silly with his star shoe shimmy shuffle down
Way past one, and feeling allright
'Cos with little Willy round they can last all night
Hey down, stay down, stay down down

'Cos little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy round
Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home

Up town, down town
Little Willy, Willy drives them wild with his run-around style
Inside, outside
Willy sends them silly with his star-shine shimmy shuffle smile
Mama done chase Willy down through the hall
But laugh, Willy laugh, he don't care at all
Hey down, stay down, stay down, down

'Cos little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy round
Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home

Little Willy, Willy won't
Willy won't, Willy won't
Little Willy, Willy won't
Willy won't, Willy won't
Little Willy, Willy won't
Willy won't, Willy won't
Little Willy, Willy won't
Willy won't, Willy won't

Little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy round
Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home

Little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy round
Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home

Poppa Joe

(Chinn - Chapman)

In the midday sun
They beat on their drums
When Poppa Joe comes to town
With his coconut-rum
They can all have fun
They can drink it
'Till the sun goes down

Poppa Joe just smiles politely
With the money he takes he might be
Very rich one day as he hears them say

Poppa rumbo rumbo
Hey Poppa Joe coconut
Poppa Joe, hey Poppa Joe
Poppa rumbo rumbo
Hey Poppa Joe coconut
Poppa Joe, hey Poppa Joe
Poppa rumbo rumbo
Hey Poppa Joe coconut
hey Poppa Joe, hey Poppa Joe
Hey Pop-, Poppa, Poppa Joe

Never see a sad face
in the market place
When Poppa Joe comes around
For his coconut taste
You can see them race
Through the streets
You can hear the sound

All of the ladies are laughing gaily
Poppa Joe's still thinking maybe
He'll always hear the people say

Poppa rumbo rumbo
Hey Poppa Joe coconut
Poppa Joe, hey Poppa Joe
Poppa rumbo rumbo
Hey Poppa Joe coconut
Poppa Joe, hey Poppa Joe
Poppa rumbo rumbo
Hey Poppa Joe coconut
Hey Poppa Joe, hey Poppa Joe
Hey Pop-, Poppa, Poppa Joe

Jeanie

(Scott — Connolly — Tucker — Priest)

The nights in this lonely world
Makes this life for me
Seem like an empty shell
But I'll wait 'till time arrives
Then we'll be together and I'll realize

The time I spend
Just feeling blue
Is all worth while
Now I'm with you, Jeanie.

The sails on the open sea
Try to take the thought of you
Away from me
The blue visions in my eyes
Constantly remain
And make me realize

The dreams I spend
Just looking through
Seem all worth while
Now I'm with you, Jeanie

And now through the morning light
Traces of your voice
That echo warm me night
You appear and the sun will rise
Reaching out through me
And then I'll realize

The time I spend
Just feeling blue
Is all worth while
Now I'm with you, Jeanie

The time I spend
Just feeling blue
Is all worth while
Now I'm with you, Jeanie

Yeah, the time I spend
Just feeling blue
Is all worth while
Now I'm with you, Jeanie

Spotlight

(Scott — Connolly — Tucker — Priest)

You know you're going to the dance tonight, my dear
'Cause I'm working you're going with the boy I hear
I won't be able to dance with you
But I'll know every little thing you do

I'm on spotlight, baby
I'm working on spotlight, baby

I can see you moving like a candle flickering bright
In my eyes I see you, in my mind it doesn't seem right
I may never be right for you
But every thing I do, I do for you

I'm on the spotlight, baby
I'm working on the spotlight, baby

I'm on the spotlight, baby
I'm working on the spotlight, baby

You know you're going to the dance tonight, my dear
'Cause I'm working you're going with the boy I hear
I won't be able to dance with you
But I'll know every little thing you do

I'm on the spotlight, baby
I'm working on the spotlight, baby
I'm on the spotlight, baby
I'm working on the spotlight, baby
I'm on the spotlight, baby
I'm working on the spotlight, baby
I'm on the spotlight, baby

Funny, Funny

(Chinn - Chapman)

Tell me is it really true
This feelin' that I feel for you
Your own kind of lovin'
That makes me think
Nothing could ever take the place of you

And it's so funny funny
What you do, honey, honey
What you do, what you mean to me
And you know, honey, honey
Though it's so funny funny
That you mean all the world to me

Ever since you came my way
I knew it was my lucky day
The sun started shinin'
When you started smiling
And I know it's gonna stay that way

And it's so funny funny
What you do, honey, honey
What you do, what you mean to me
And you know, honey, honey
Though it's so funny funny
That you mean all the world to me

Can't imagine lovin' anyone but you
(Honey honey, so funny funny)
Every minute lovin' everything you do
(Honey honey, so funny funny)
Couldn't see my way without you
Now I gotta tell the world about you

Tell me is it really true
This feelin' that I feel for you
Your own kind of lovin'
That makes me think
Nothing could ever take the place of you

And it's so funny funny
What you do, honey, honey
What you do, what you mean to me
And you know, honey, honey
Though it's so funny funny
That you mean all the world to me
