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...

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
