*How much is that doggie in the window?
The one with the waggly tail How much is that doggie in the window? I do hope that doggie's for sale I must take a trip to California And leave my poor sweet heart alone If he has a dog he won't be lonesome And the doggie will have a good home *Repeat I read in the paper there are robbers With flash lights that shine in the dark My love needs a doggie to protect him And scare them away with one bark I don't want a bunny or a kitty I don't want a parrot at all I don't want a bowl of little fishies He can't take a goldfish for a walk *Repeat |

If you're a guy that's had a gal in each and every port
And you've forgot the rules of love that life has always taught And if you broke as many hearts as ripples in a stream Well, brother, here's the only way that you can be redeemed Cross over the bridge, cross over the bridge Change your reckless way o'living, cross over the bridge Leave you fickle past behind you and true romance will find you Brother, cross over the bridge If you have built a boat to take you to the greener side And if that boat is built of every lie you ever lied You'll never reach the Promised Land of love, I guarantee 'Cause lies cannot hold water and you'll sink into the sea Cross over the bridge, cross over the bridge Change your reckless way o'living, cross over the bridge Leave you fickle past behind you and true romance will find you Brother, cross over the bridge I know it isn't easy to resist temptation's call But think of how your broken heart will hurt you when you fall 'Cause some day you will find that you are hopelessly in love And she'll belong to someone else as sure as stars above Cross over the bridge, cross over the bridge Change your reckless way o'living, cross over the bridge Leave you fickle past behind you and true romance will find you Brother, cross over the bridge, cross over the bridge |

Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour
Paid no mind to what it said Detour, oh these bitter things I find, Should have read that detour sign Headed down life's crooked road, lots of things I never knowed Because of me not knowing, I now pine Trouble got in the trail, spent the next 5 years in jail Should have read that detour sign Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour Paid no mind to what it said Detour, oh these bitter things I find, Should have read that detour sign When I got right to the place where it said "About Face" I thought that all my worries were behind But the farther I go, more sorrow I know Should have read that detour sign Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour Paid no mind to what it said Detour, oh these bitter things I find, Should have read that detour sign When I got stuck in the mud all my hopes dropped with a thud I guess that my heart strings are made of twine Have no willpower to get from the hole that I'm in yet Should have read that detour sign Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour Paid no mind to what it said Detour, oh these bitter things I find, Should have read that detour sign Should have read that detour sign Should have read that detour sign, detour |

I can't recall my mother, I don't remember dad
Mister and Mississippi was all I ever had Oh, I was born to wander, I was born to roam And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home Oh, I was born to wander, I was born to roam And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home My cradle was the river, my school a river boat My teacher was a gambler the slickest one afloat My teacher was a gambler the slickest one afloat He taught me not to gamble on a petticoat Oh, I was born to wander, I was born to roam And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home Oh, I was born to wander, I was born to roam And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home Oh, darling, how I love you what more is there to say I love you like a barefoot girl loves the summer day The way a wandering gypsy loves the changing sea Just like the restless river loves old New Orleans Oh, I was born to wander, I was born to roam And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home I love a tiny village a quiet country town A house, a little garden with kiddies running 'round You'd be a faithful husband, I'd be a trusty friend Until I heard that steamboat coming 'round the bend Oh, I was born to wander, I was born to roam And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home Oh, I was born to wander, I was born to roam And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home |

If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air
Quaint little villages here and there You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod If you like the taste of a lobster stew Served by a window with an ocean view You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod Winding roads that seem to beckon you Miles of green beneath a sky of blue Church bells chiming on a sunday morn Remind you of the town where you were born If you spend an evening you'll want to stay Watching the moonlight on Cape Cod Bay You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod If you spend an evening you'll want to stay Watching the moonlight on Cape Cod Bay You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod |

I went to your wedding
Although I was dreading The thought of losing you The organ was playing My poor heart kept saying "my dreams, my dreams, are through" *She came down the aisle, Wearing a smile A vision of loveliness I uttered a sigh Whispered "goodbye" "Goodbye to my happiness" **Your mother was crying Your father was crying And I was crying, too The teardrops were falling Because we were losing you *Repeat **Repeat |

With my eyes wide open I'm dreaming
Can it be true I'm holding you close to my heart? With my eyes wide open I'm dreaming You're with me now sharing a vow never to part I'm so afraid to close my eyes, afraid that I'll find That is lovely thrill is just a silly illusion With my eyes wide open I'm dreaming Darling, do I deserve such as a break? Pinch me to prove I'm awake I can't believe that you're really mine I'm so afraid to close my eyes, afraid that I'll find That is lovely thrill is just a silly illusion With my eyes wide open I'm dreaming Darling, do I deserve such as a break? Pinch me to prove I'm awake I can't believe that you're really mine |

We were waltzing together to a dreamy melody
When they called out "Change partners" And you waltzed away from me Now my arms feel so empty As I gaze around the floor And I'll keep on "Changing partners" Till I hold you once more Through we danced for one moment And too soon we had to part In that wonderful moment Something happened to my heart So I'll keep changing partners Till you're in my arms and then Oh, my darling I will never change partners again Through we danced for one moment And too soon we had to part In that wonderful moment Something happened to my heart So I'll keep changing partners Till you're in my arms and then Oh, my darling I will never change partners again |
