GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #332 (GOLQ332)
Welcome to GOLQ332. There is one major theme. After I ran out of songs
for that one, I added a minor theme that is not related to the major theme,
except that I had chosen it to make one of the songs for the major theme a
"two-fer." It turned out that another of the songs also became a "two-fer,"
while yet another one would have qualified as a "two-fer" under expanded
criteria for the major theme, and one more could incorrectly be thought to
be a "two-fer" by someone who didn't research the meaning of something in
the song more carefully.
Enjoy!

Teardrops fell on Mama's note
When I read the thing she wrote
She said we miss you son
We love you
Come on home
#01)
I've been all round this great big world
And I've seen all kind of girls
Yeah but I couldn't wait to get back in the states
Back to the cutest girls in the world
#02)
The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome is of another day
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan
#03)
The Byrds and the Airplane did fly
Oh Ravi Shankar's music made me cry
The Who exploded into fire and light
Hugh Masekela's music was black as night
#04)
Round the squares
Huddle in storms
Some laughing
Some just shapeless forms
#05)
Lots of girls they're ridin' here from my house
Pretty girls they keep passin' by all day
Lots of girls but I don't even see 'em
#06)
I rode in on a Greyhound
But I'll be walkin' out if I go
I was just passin' through
Must be seven months or more
#07)
And so the people started to sing
And that's how the surf gave birth I'm told
#08)
Water all around it everywhere
Tropical trees and the salty air
But for me the thing that's a-waitin' there
Romance
#09)
Who wears the shady glasses after dark?
Who tries to talk the little girlies into parkin'?
#10)
If I went on my way
Thinking now that I'll stay
Ooh baby
Love you baby
Oom baby
#11)
He sure is hip, ain't he?
Like, what's happening?
He's too much
Ride, Daddy, ride
Hi-yo dinosaur!
#12)
I've seen the beauty of the red, red rose
Seen the beauty when the skies are blue
Seen the beauty of the evening sunset
But the beauty of you
#13)
There's Patience Proper and Prudence Prim
You ought to see them do the swim
#14)
I'd be safe and warm (I'd be safe and warm)
If I was in L.A. (If I was in L.A.)
#15)
Summertime will be a love-in there
#16)
Well it's down in California where the orange trees grow (oh California!)
And there's a pretty little girl that he used to know (oh California!)
Well he called me up today about a quarter to one (oh California!)
She said, "Come on over Daddy, let's have some fun." (oh California!)
#17)
Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roamed
#18)
I was down in L.A. town when our manager said, "Jump"
I threw my clothes and my saxophone in a 2 by 4 big trunk
I pushed it to the airport
And I ran to the ticket line
#19)
Well I'm goin' outta west where I belong
Where the days are short and the nights are long
#20)
Left, right, march along
I just gotta get home (just gotta get home)
Ten more miles
#21)
L.A., Pasadena, Frisco, Riverside, Pomona
Laguna is a real cool town
All the cats and chicks are waitin' for me
#22)
Fast-talkin' guys
With strange red eyes
Have put things in your head
And caused your mind to wanderin'
#23)
My feet are hurtin' mighty bad
Now I've been walkin' for three days and two lonely nights
You know that I'm mighty mad
#24)
Weeks turn into years
How quick they pass
And all the stars that never were
Are parkin' cars and pumping gas
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
Chalkin' our boards (chalkin' our boards)
While we're in school (we're in school)
Now we're [*] waxin' our boards (waxin' our boards)
At Balboa too
[*] Some versions of this song that fit alphabetically use "it's"
instead of "we're."
#T1)
All the students report to the dean at the school
His office is cool
It's a telephone booth
#T2)
