My funny valentine, sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable, unphotographable
Yet you're my favourite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine, stay
Each day is Valentine's day

Mama was queen of the mambo
Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in the jungle
I started bangin' my first bongo

Every monkey'd like to be
In my place instead of me
Cause I'm the king of bongo, baby
I'm the king of bongo bong

I went to the big town
Where there is a lot of sound
From the jungle to the city
Looking for a bigger crown
So I play my boogie
For the people of big city
But they don't go crazy
When I'm bangin' in my boogie
I'm the "king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong"
Hear me when I come
King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong

They say that I'm a clown
Making too much dirty sound
They say there is no place for little monkey in this town
Nobody'd like to be in my place instead of me
Cause nobody go crazy when I'm bangin' on my boogie
I'm the king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
Hear me when I come
"King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong"
Bangin' on my bongo all that swing belongs to me
I'm so happy there's nobody in my place instead of me
I'm a king without a crown hanging loose in a big town
But I'm the king of bongo baby I'm the king of bongo bong
King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
Hear me when I come, baby, king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong...

Oooh...hey, oh yeah

Don't make me love you 'til I'm ready
Don't make me give you more than my kisses, oh ooh oh
I need you to go slow and steady
Don't make me love you 'til I'm ready

Ooh, oh yeah

Why you wanna rush into my life
Don't you wanna stop and get to know me better
We got all the time in the world tonight
And if we're meant to be we'll be together, oh oh
Stay around just slow it down
'Til we find out if we got what it takes

Don't make me love you 'til I'm ready
Don't make me give you more than my kisses
I need you to go slow and steady
Don't make me love you 'til I'm ready

Everything I know about you so far
Makes me believe that you're the one for me
But there's still a lot that's on my mind
And I need time before we go further
Don't you see
So hold me, fold me, but don't be
Thinking I don't want you too

Don't make me love you 'til I'm ready
Don't make me give you more than my kisses
I need you to go slow and steady
(Slow and steady, 'til I'm ready baby)
Don't make me love you 'til I'm ready

It's better with a little bit of mystery
Let's wait 'til we have a bit of history
Behind ourselves, ooh ohh yeah yeah
We don't got to be in such a rush
We can live for the moment if we trust
We'll be right here tomorrow, oh yeah yeah

Don't make me love you, ooh, ohh ooh
Don't make me give you, ooh ohh
I need you to go, ooh yeah
Don't make me love you, oh, oh, oh yeah yeah, ohh

Don't make me love you 'til I'm ready
('Til I'm ready, ohh ohh)
Don't make me give you more than my kisses
I need you to go slow and steady
(Ooh...)
Don't make me love you 'til I'm ready

Don't make me love you, don't make, ooh ohh
Don't make me give you more than my kisses
I need you to go slow and steady, baby
Don't make me love you 'til I'm ready
(Ready, yeah yeah)

Don't make me love you 'til I'm ready
Don't make me give you more than my kisses
(More than my, love ohh oh)
I need you to go slow and steady, ooh oh
Don't make me love you 'til I'm ready
Yeah yeah

A long, long time ago
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile
And I knew that if I had my chance
I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while

Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Now do you believe in rock 'n roll
And can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow

Well I know that you're in love with him
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
[both kicked off your shoes]
Man, I dig those rhythm 'n blues

I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew that I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singin'

Chorus:

Bye bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin', "This will be the day that I die,
This will be the day that I die."

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
Well I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play

Well now in the streets the children screamed
[the children screamed]
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
[the poets dreamed]
But not a word was spoken [not a word was spoken]
The church bells all were broken

And the three men I admire the most
The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
We start singin'

(chorus)
(chorus)

We started singin'
(repeat 3 times)

You couldn't even bring yourself

To stay, oh no
You had to go
Spoil it all
I know you had to go
Now I find these endlessly
Colourblind days
To fill
You never will

(Take this life)
Take this life
Take it all
In your hands
You were mine
I could smile
You understand, fine

Again
I dream
You come to me
(Come back to me)
And comfort me
But now I dream
Where did this time go
Where did this time go
Did your love go

I know
You have to go
Spoil it all
And now I know
You never will

(Take this life)
Take this life
Take it all
In your hands
You were mine
I could smile
You understand, fine

(Take this life)
Take this life
Take it all
In your hands
You were mine
I could smile
Again

Just what you said was cold advice
I discovered sticks go with knives
I discovered I could've die in your chains
Still I feel, so won't you stay
Oh, babe

(Take this life)
Take this life
Take it all
In your hands
You were mine
I could smile
You understand, fine

(Take this life)
Take this life
Take it all
In your hands
You were mine
I could smile
Again

You know the fellas go
You know the fellas go for the moolah
YOu know the fellas go for the moolah
You know the fellas go

*If everybody looked the same
We'd get tired looking at each other*
You know the fellas go for the moolah
You know the fellas go
Repeat*

You know the fellas go for the moolah
You know the fellas go

**Everybody look**

You know the fellas go
We'd get tired looking at each other
You know the fellas go for the moolah

I'm not in love
So dont forget it
It's just a silly phase im going through
And just because
I call you up
Don't get me wrong, Don't think youve got it made
I'm not in love, no no, it's because....

I like to see you
But then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if I call you don't make a fuss
Don't tell you friends about the two of us
I'm not in love, no no, it's because....

I keep your picture
Upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
So don't you ask me
To give it back
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I'm not in love, no no, it's because....

Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh you'll wait a long time
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh you'll wait a long time

I'm not in love
So don't forget it
It's just a silly phase im going through
And just because i call you up
Don't get me wrong, Don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love
I'm not in love

Stayed true to the things I knew when I was younger
And food and love was all but left to hunger
It's when I stray from the truth as I grow older
Too much leaves an empty hollow hunger

I think about you on a moonlit night
And all the stars all seem to weep
When there's so much love to lose
There's never any time for sleep

Look at me doing all these things without you
We always laughed at and you were untrue
Where was it we tried hard not to go?
I think that's how I finally came through

All the things we took for granted
The words still live on in my head
All the times I took for granted
All the words I never said

I think about you in the moonlit night
And the stars all seem to weep
When there's so much love to give
There's never any time for sleep

So I stayed true to the things I knew when I was younger
And you and I was all but left to hunger
It's when I stray from the tuth as I grow older
Too much leaves an empty hollow hunger

Live on without you
Live on without you

Despair, regret, and tenderness
Is what I feel for you
I loved you from the very start
What else could I do

You read my mind, you made me cry
Time stood still
And now I know the reasons why
Time stood still

Maybe you're the next best thing to happen
All the things we might have been

A flame becomes a fading light
That burns inside my heart
And like a castle in the sand
It had to fall apart

You made me laugh, you gave me hope
It's over now
Our happiness went up in smoke
It's over now

Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak;
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek.
Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
And the cares that hang around me thro' the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek.
Oh! I love to climb a mountain,
And to reach the highest peak,
But it doesn't thrill me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek.
Oh! I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek,
But I don't enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek.
Dance with me
I want my arm about you;
The charm about you
Will carry me thro' to Heaven
I'm in Heaven,
and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak;
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek.

Heaven, I’m in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we’re out together dancing cheek to cheek

Heaven, I’m in heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler’s lucky streak
When we’re out together dancing cheek to cheek

Oh I love to climb a mountain
And reach the highest peak
But it doesn’t thrill me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek

Oh I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek
But I don’t enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek

Come on and Dance with me
I want my arms about you
That charm about you
Will carry me through...

To heaven, I’m in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we’re out together dancing dancing cheek to cheek
