Kentucky Rain

(words & music by Eddie Rabbit - Dick Heard)

Seven lonely days

And a dozen towns ago

I reached out one night

And you were gone

Don't know why you'd run,

What you're running to or from

All I know is I want to bring you home

So I'm walking in the rain,

Thumbling for a ride

On this lonely Kentucky backroad

I've loved you much too long

And my love's too strong

To let you go, never knowing

What went wrong

Kentucky rain keeps pouring down

And up ahead's another town

That I'll go walking thru

With the rain in my shoes,

Searchin for you

In the cold Kentucky rain,

In the cold Kentucky rain

Showed your photograph

To some old gray bearded man

Sitting on a bench

Outside a gen'ral store

They said "Yes, she's been here"

But their memory wasn't clear

Was it yesterday,

No, wait the day before

So I fin'ly got a ride

With a preacher man who asked

"Where you bound on such a dark afternoon?"

As we drove on thru the rain

As he listened I explained

And he left me with a prayer

That I'd find you

King Creole

(words & music by Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)

There's a man in New Orleans

Who plays rock and roll

He's a guitar man

With a great big soul

He lays down a beat

Like a ton of coal

He goes by the name of King Creole

You know he's gone, gone, gone

Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole

You know he's gone, gone, gone

Hip shaking King Creole

When the king starts to do it

It's as good as done

He holds his guitar

like a tommy gun

He starts to growl

From way down his throat

He bends a string

And "that's all she wrote"

Well, he sings a song about a crowded hole

He sings a song about a jelly roll

He sings a song about meat and greens

He wails some blues about New Orleans

Well, he plays something evil

Then he plays something sweet

No matter what he plays

You got to get up on your feet

When he gets the rockin' fever

baby, heaven sakes

He don't stop playin'

'Till his guitar breaks

(Words & music by Batchelor - Roberts)

A poor man wants the oyster

A rich man wants the pearl

But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing

He's the king of the whole wide world

Come on let's sing, sing brother sing

'Cos the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing

He's the king of the whole wide world

The rich man wants the princess

The poor man just wants a girl

But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing

He's the king of the whole wide world

Come on let's sing, sing brother sing

'Cos the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing

He's the king of the whole wide world

A poor man wants to be a rich man

A rich man wants to be a king

But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing

He's the king of the whole wide world

Come on let's sing, sing brother sing

'Cos the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing

He's the king of the whole wide world

Come on let's sing, sing brother sing

'Cos the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing

He's the king of the whole wide world

Of the whole wide world

Of the whole wide world

(Words & music by Sid Tepper - Roy C. Bennett)

When you meet by chance, it's not by chance

It's kismet

When two hearts stand still, it's destiny's will

It's kismet

The wheel of fortune spins, round and around it goes

Who will the arrow point to, only kismet knows

Until you came by, kismet and I, were strangers

But now that you're here, it's suddenly clear we've met

This is my lucky day, love's in the cards I'd say

Thanks to kismet, kismet, kismet

Until you came by, kismet and I were strangers

But now that you're here, it's suddenly clear we've met

This is my lucky day, love's in the cards I'd say

Thanks to kismet, kismet, kismet

(Words & music by Wise - Starr)

Well I've got a gal, she's as cute as she can be

She's a distant cousin but she's not too distant with me

We'll kiss all night

I'll squeeze her tight

But we're kissin' cousins 'n that's what makes it all right

All right, all right, all right

Oh I've got a girl and she taught me how to live

She can give a lot and she's got a lot to give

We'll kiss all night

I'll squeeze her tight

But we're kissin' cousins 'n that's what makes it all right

All right, all right, all right

Yes we're all cousins, that's what I believe

Because we're children of Adam and Eve

I got a girl and she wants a lot of love

That's the kind of trouble I need plenty of

We'll kiss all night

I'll squeeze her tight

But we're kissin' cousins 'n that'll make it all right

All right, all right, all right

We'll be kissin' cousins that'll make it all right

All right, all right, all right

Yes we're all cousins, that's what I believe

Because we're children of Adam and Eve

I got a girl and she wants a lot of love

That's the kind of trouble I need plenty of

We'll kiss all night

I'll squeeze her tight

But we'll be kissin' cousins 'n that'll make it all right

All right, all right, all right

We'll be kissin' cousins that'll make it all right

All right, all right, all right

We'll be kissin' cousins that's what makes it all right

All right, all right, all right

(Words & music by Giant - Baum - Kaye)

Cousins, kissin' cousins

Kissin's allowed 'cos we're proud to be cousins

What's a little teasin', huggin' and a-squeezin'

Between us cousins.

Oh it's so great to be one big family

And we show it, yes we show it

You see, we never feud, we're a happy brood

Folks all know it, yes they know it

Cousins, kissin' cousins

Honey we dress and we mess

We're just cousins,

Cousins, kissin' cousins

Cousins, kissin' cousins

(words & music by Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman)

Kiss me quick, while we still have this feeling

Hold me close and never let me go

'Cause tomorrows can be so uncertain

Love can fly and leave just hurting

Kiss me quick because I love you so

Kiss me quick and make my heart go crazy

Sigh that sigh and whisper oh so low

Tell me that tonight will last forever

Say that you will leave me never

Kiss me quick because I love you so

Let the band keep playing while we are swaying

Let's keep on praying that we'll never stop

Kiss me quick just can't stand this waiting

'Cause your lips are lips I long to know

Oh that kiss will open heaven's door

And we'll stay there forevermore

Kiss me quick because I love you so

(Words & music by Stuart Hamblen)

Known only to him are the great hidden secrets

I'll fear not the darkness when my flame shall dim

I know not what the future holds

But I know who holds the future

It's a secret known only to Him

In this world of fear and doubt

On my knees I ask the question

Why a lonely, heavy cross I must bear

Then he tells me in my prayer

It's because I am trustworthy

He gives me strength far more than my share

Known only to him are the great hidden secrets

I'll fear not the darkness when my flame shall dim

I know not what the future holds

But I know who holds the future

It's a secret known only to Him

(words & music by Perretii - Creatore - Weiss)

Ku-u-i-po I love you more today

More today than yesterday

But I love you less today

Less than I will tomorrow

See the sweet Hawaiian rose

See it blossom see it grow

That's the story of our love

Ever since we said hello

As the years go passing by

We'll recall our wedding day

I will be there by your side

You will always hear me say

Ku-u-i-po, you're my Hawaiian sweetheart
