Mary Lou 03:24
lyrics
Well I love my Mary Lou And my love for her is true No one else will ever do I just love my Mary Lou Well I first met Mary Lou at a high school dance When I laid eyes on her I went in a trance Then I asked Mary Lou for a dance And the way she held me I knew it was romance Well I asked if I could take her home that night And maybe I might get to hold her tight A kiss or two I might steal Then I know her love for me is real Well I love my Mary Lou And my love for her is true No one else will ever do I just love my Mary Lou When the gang all gathers round They can see I’ve got the nicest chick in town Yeah and we made plans to settle down And now I’m the happiest boy in town Well I love my Mary Lou And my love for her is true Well No one else will ever do I just love my Mary Lou

Ooh, Watcha Do! 01:59
lyrics
The other day at school I felt just like a fool We were walking down the hall She yelled out “Hi-Ya Doll” I turned around and said Ooo-La-Ooo-La-la-Ooo-Ooo- Ooo, Little girl Ooo, Watcha’ Do Ooo, Little girl Ooo, Watcha’ Do My hearts a flutter And it’s melts like butter Ooo, Watcha’ Do I took you home that day I carried your boots all the way When her heart came in sight I whispered how about tonight? She turned around and said Ooo-La-Ooo-La-la-Ooo-Ooo- Ooo, Little girl Ooo, Watcha’ Do Ooo, Little girl Ooo, Watcha’ Do My hearts a flutter And it’s melts like butter Ooo-ooo-ooo, Watcha’ Do We went for a date And it was awfully late The time came for good night But I just held her tight She turned around and said Ooo-La-Ooo-La-la-Ooo-Ooo-

She's A Square 03:07
lyrics
Well I’ll tell you a story ‘Bout my girl Maybelline Who’s long and tall Just like a green string bean She’s a girl that I adore And not a soul could love you But what a square (she’s a square) Yeah man, she’s a square (she’s a square) Well she’s a square, my baby The biggest one I know She can’t dance And baby she can’t sing All she wants to do Is to wear my ring But she just likes my love so much Tells me I’ve got that magic touch Well can you understand what I’m telling you If you had my girl just what you do Would you leave her all alone? Or marry her and take her home She’s can’t dance And baby she can’t sing All she wants to do Is to wear my ring But she just likes my love so much Tells me I’ve got that magic touch

lyrics
I’m sorry If I hurt you bad I wasn’t myself the other day Now I’m alone and oh so sad Since you up and walked away I shouldn’t have did what I done I shouldn’t have did what I done I shouldn’t have said what I said True love is the only thing That will and could have changed a guy Each day for him, it is spring And above blue are the skies I shouldn’t have did what I done I shouldn’t have did what I done I shouldn’t have said what I said Love can be oh so cruel And sometimes it is not all true It takes one life to be a fool And make someone like you blue I shouldn’t have did what I done I shouldn’t have did what I done I shouldn’t have said what I said

You know you’re supposed to rock Everybody stop this fight Or I”m a gonna calls the cops Well everybody stop! You know you’re supposed to rock Everybody stop this fight Or I”m a gonna calls the cops Well the fight went on it was a half past four Dancers were swinging, lining on the floor Called up the doctor and the doctor said “If you don’t stop the you’ll all be dead” Well everybody stop! You know you’re supposed to rock Everybody stop this fight Or I”m a gonna calls the cops Well everybody stop! You know what the doctor said Well if you don’t stop it when the morning comes Then I guess you’ll all be dead. Take off man!
