GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #124 (GOLQ124)

Hi Oldies Fans!

Welcome to another oldies quiz.  I'm happy to report that this quiz 
contains a major theme, which may help you identify the harder songs.
See if you can "name" that theme!

If you do not have the official GOLQ Rules (a posted copy of the rules
should follow a posted copy of this quiz on most sites), you may read
them by pointing your web browser at:

              ftp://bobcat.bbn.com/pub/golq/FAQ/rules

There have been no changes to the general rules since the last quiz,
but, as T. P. says, pay attention to them anyway.

If you want GOLQs and their results and answers sent directly to you
by e-mail, send e-mail to golq-request@world.std.com consisting only
of the word "subscribe" in the body, not the subject, of the message.

Have fun!

Barry

Chalk on the sidewalk
Writing on the wall
Everybody knows it
#01) 

She was gonna be my wife and I was gonna be her man
But she let another guy come between us and it shattered our plan
#02) 

Father McKenzie
Writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
#03) 

You came near me
And rolled those eyes
You knew they'd get me
By and by
#04) 

The day you left
Went away
I thought that you
Goin' to stay
But every moment
I tried and tried
To cover up
For all those lies
#05) 

As you sit by the window
Bewitched by a star
Are you really an angel
I wonder what you are
#06) 

Well, what are we gonna tell your mama?
What are we gonna tell your pa?
What are we gonna tell our friends when they say oo-la-la?
#07)

You saw me with some of your buddies
And that was careless of me
But everything went wrong
When you came along
And saw what you weren't supposed to see
#08) 

You said now you don't need me
Because I cheated
Why didn't you believe me
When I repeated
#09) 

It's so hard
For me to say
The things I really feel
If I could
I'd chase away
The pain your eyes reveal
The pain your eyes reveal
#10) 

I was looking 'round for someone new
What a foolish thing to do
All the time I knew it
Heaven knows what made me do it, girl
#11) 

Now there's just enough to prime it with
So don't you go drink it first
You just pour it in and pump like mad
Buddy you'll quench your thirst
#12) 

All my life
I've done crazy things
Gonna find a bird that sings to me
La la you
La la la
#13) 

Gonna tell Aunt Mary about Uncle John
#14) 

Now there's Donny, there's Joe
And there's Frank and Jim
Just to name a few
#15) 

She's the sweetest girl that I ever seen
She came from down in New Orleans
And I-I-I love her
All she's done for me
#16) 

I'm through with Billy, Willie, Ricky, Dickie, Eddie, Freddie 
Got me a brand new steady
#17) 

True love means waiting and hoping that soon
Wishes we've made will come true
My love, my love
#18) 

I won't get in your way (get in your way)
Oh please don't say that we are through
You came on so strong (came on so strong)
Was I so wrong 
When I gave all the love that I had to you
#19) 

Everyday my friends say
I'm just a fool
To fall in love
To them it seems
Ain't very cool
But I don't care what they say
I just can't resist
#20) 

Hey girl with sunlight in your hair
Whoa-o-o
It hurts me so
To see you standing there
Whoa-o-o
#21) 

Tweedle dum, tweedle dee
You have made my life a fantasy
You don't know what you're doin' to me
My heart goes pitter patter
Cause I'm mad as a hatter
#22) 

Once I had a pretty girl
Her name it doesn't matter
She went away with another guy
Now he won't even look at her
#23) 

I really think you're groovy
Let's go out to a movie
#24) 

Dear Eddie
I love you
With all my heart
Vacation
Last summer
Was so grand
#25) 

------------
Tie-breakers
------------

She does her hair with great precision
It's her favorite indoor sport
And by the light of the television
She can even write a book report
#T1) 

He said to me he wanted to be close by my side
We had a quarrel I was untrue on the night he died
And it's too late to tell this boy how great he was
Please wait at the gate of heaven for me
#T2)
