Chinn/Chapman

Co-Co would dream of dancing
At midnight beneath the stars
'Cos when it comes to dancing
Co-Co's a star!
He danced in a ring of fire
That circled the island shore
And as the flames got higher
They'd all call for more and more

Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chika-ka-ho go go Co-Co

Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho go go Co-Co

Across the silver water
The sound of the island drums
Echoing Co-Co's laughter
Yeah, Co-Co's the one
He moves with the cool of moonlight
Under a tropic sky
Then into the morning sunlight
he'd still hear them cry and cry

Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chika-ka-ho go go Co-Co

Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho go go Co-Co

Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho go go Co-Co...

Chinn/Chapman

If you walk down through the woods today
You won't believe your eyes
There's an old log cabin on the Greatway River
Underneath the rolling skies
A man called Woodrow all alone
You can hear the woodchop's cry
He swings his axe all day and chops the trees away

Chop chop chop you can hear him singing
Chop chop chop, as his axe is swinging
Chop chop chop through the woods it's ringing
Timber! Timber!
Chop chop chop, give it all you can
Chop chop chop sang the woodchop man
Chop chop chop through the woods it rang
Timber! Timber!

It's a bright light shines through the towering pines
You can hear the woodman's call
Through the raging rapids of the Greatway River
You can see the pine trees fall
As the sun goes down you can hear the sound
That echoes Woodrow's call
He puts his axe away until another day

Chop chop chop you can hear him singing
Chop chop chop, as his axe is swinging
Chop chop chop through the woods it's ringing
Timber! Timber!
Chop chop chop, give it all you can
Chop chop chop sang the woodchop man
Chop chop chop through the woods it rang
Timber! Timber!

Timber! Timber!

Chop chop chop you can hear him singing
Chop chop chop, as his axe is swinging
Chop chop chop through the woods it's ringing
Timber! Timber!
Chop chop chop, give it all you can
Chop chop chop sang the woodchop man
Chop chop chop through the woods it rang
Timber! Timber!...

Holland/Dozier/Holland

Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me

Reflections are the way life used to be
Reflections are the love you took from me

Uh, I'm all alone now, no love to shield me
Top in a world as understoodin' reality

Happiness you took from me
And left me alone with only memories
Through the mirror of my mind
Through the tears that I'm cryin'
Reflects the hurt I can't control

'Cause I know you've gone, I keep holding on
To the happy time, uh, when you were mine

As I feel through the window of lost time
Looking over my yesterday and over love
I gave all in vain

(All the love) all the love that I've wasted
(All the tears) all the tears that I've tasted
(All in me) all in me

Through the hallow of my tears
I see a dream this last
From the hurt that you have caused
Everywhere I turn
Seems like everything I see
Reflects the love that used to be

When you have burn my, oh, favour just
Right before my eyes my world has turn to dust

I felt all these nights, I said a lone word
Just a hand full of promises
All that is left for lovin' you

Reflections are the way life used to be
Reflections are the love you took from me
In you I burn my favourite trust
Right before my eyes my world has turn to dust...

She loved her me flies like a dove
Into the sky to may hidden above
And my girl is sweeter than a honeysuckle love

Her gentle sweetness may me feel so good
Open my heart like no other could
And my girl is sweeter than a honeysuckle love

She's my cagey queen
And here comes still love
I would've given her moon
And the stars above

Her sweet caresses make me lose my mind
Nobody else has treated me so kind
And my girl is sweeter than a honeysuckle love

I saw her move and I felt so fine
I'm in a groove now I know she's mine
And my girl is sweeter than a honeysuckle love

She's my cagey queen
And here comes still love
I would've given her moon
And the stars above

She's my cagey queen
And here comes still love
I would've given her moon
And the stars above

She's my cagey queen
And here comes still love
I would've given her moon
And the stars above

Chinn/Chapman

I'm traveling fast on a southbound highway
Into the sun where I know that I can live my way
Movin' down the highway

A ticket to ride straight down 'cross the border
Into the sunshine of South California my way
Straight down the highway

Well, I'll drive, drive, drive
Soon I'll arrive
In that Santa Monica sunshine
Santa Monica sands, you're all mine
Santa Monica sunshine
Santa Monica sands, you're all mine

I'm taking the road straight through Sacramento
Over the long I'll soon in San Francisco
That's the way you gotta go

My way leaves Golden Gates far behind me
You look all alive I'm sure gonna find Miano
That's the way you gotta go

Well, I'll drive, drive, drive
Soon I'll arrive
In that Santa Monica sunshine
Santa Monica sands, you're all mine
Santa Monica sunshine
Santa Monica sands, you're all mine

Well, that Santa Monica sunshine
Santa Monica sands, you're all mine
Santa Monica sunshine
Santa Monica sands, you're all mine

To that Santa Monica sunshine
Santa Monica sands, you're all mine
Santa Monica sunshine
Santa Monica sands, you're all mine

What a day for a daydream
What a day for a draydreamin' boy
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dreamin' 'bout my bundle of joy

And even if time ain't really on my side
It's one of those days to takin' a walk outside
I'm blowin' the day to take a walk in the sun
And fall on my face on somebody's new mowed lawn.

I've been havin' a sweet dream
I've been dreaming since I woke up today
It starin' me and my sweet dream
'Cause she's the one that makes me feel this way

And even if time has passed me by a lot,
I couldn't care less about the dues you say I got.
Tomorrow I'll pay the dues for droppin' my load
A pie in the face for being a sleepy bull toad!

And you can be sure that if you're feelin' right
A daydream will last a long into the night
Tomorrow at breakfast, you may prick up your ears
Oh, you may be daydreamin' for a thousand years

What a day for a daydream
Custom made for a daydreamin' boy
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dreamin' 'bout my bundle of Joy

And even if time ain't really on my side
It's one of those days to takin' a walk outside
I'm blowin' the day to take a walk in the sun
And fall on my face on somebody's new mowed lawn.

I've been havin' a sweet dream
I've been dreaming since I woke up today
It starin' me and my sweet dream
'Cause she's the one that makes me feel this way

And even if time has passed me by a lot,
I couldn't care less about the dues you say I got.
Tomorrow I'll pay the dues for droppin' my load
A pie in the face for being a sleepy bull toad!

Ah ah ah

Tell me is it really true
This feeling that I feel for you
Your own kind of loving
That makes me think nothing
Could ever take the place of you

And it's so funny funny what you do honey honey
What you do, what you mean to me
And you know honey honey 'though it's so funny funny
That you mean all the world to me

Ah ah ah

Ever since you came my way
I knew it was my lucky day
The sun started shining
When you started smiling
And I know it's gonna stay that way

And it's so funny funny what you do honey honey
What you do, what you mean to me
And you know honey honey 'though it's so funny funny
That you mean all the world to me

Can't imagine loving anyone but you
(Honey honey, so funny funny)
Every minute, loving everything you do
(Honey honey, so funny funny)
Couldn't see my way without you
Now I've gotta tell the world about you

Tell me is it really true
This feeling that I feel for you
Your own kind of loving
That makes me think nothing
Could ever take the place of you

And it's so funny funny what you do honey honey
What you do, what you mean to me
And you know honey honey 'though it's so funny funny
That you mean all the world to me

And it's so funny funny what you do honey honey
What you do, what you mean to me
And you know honey honey 'though it's so funny funny
That you mean all the world to me

Tom Tom lived for all he could give
And he stood by his father's side
Then into his world came a sweet young girl
And he took her for his bride
And he took her for his bride

Tom Tom turn around, don't ever let me down
Don't ever leave my life
Tom Tom turn around, don't ever let me down
You don't need a wife
No, you don't need a wife

Tom Tom's called away, but his wife says "stay"
'Though he's never had to leave before
Sweet young wife only fears for the good life
That she may see no more
And then he hears her call

Tom Tom turn around, don't ever let me down
Don't ever leave my life
Tom Tom turn around, don't ever let me down
You can't leave your wife, no, you can't leave your wife

Tom Tom returns, but only to learn
There was truth in the words he'd ignored
Sweet young wife found a new kind of life
And a strong man's heart was torn
Will he always hear that call

Tom Tom turn around, don't ever let me down...

Tom Tom's alone in a world of his own
When he hears a new voice call
"Be my man - I'll do all that I can"
Is this what he's been waiting for
Will he turn and answer her call

Tom Tom turn around, I'll never let you down
I'll never leave your life
Tom Tom turn around, I'll never let you down
Take me for your wife, please, take me for your wife

Tom Tom turn around, I'll never let you down...

So Tom Tom turned around...

The nights in this lonely world
Makes this life for me
Seem like an empty shell
But I'll wait 'till time arrives
Then we'll be together and I'll realize

The time I spend
Just feeling blue
Is all worth while
Now I'm with you, Jeanie.

The sails on the open sea
Try to take the thought of you
Away from me
The blue visions in my eyes
Constantly remain
And make me realize

The dreams I spend
Just looking through
Seem all worth while
Now I'm with you, Jeanie

And now through the morning light
Traces of your voice
That echo warm me night
You appear and the sun will rise
Reaching out through me
And then I'll realize

The time I spend
Just feeling blue
Is all worth while
Now I'm with you, Jeanie

The time I spend
Just feeling blue
Is all worth while
Now I'm with you, Jeanie

Yeah, the time I spend
Just feeling blue
Is all worth while
Now I'm with you, Jeanie

Chinn/Chapman

Opens her eyes to starlight
She moves with the cool of moonlight
Losing the day, finding her way to me

And Sunny sleeps late in the morning
Sunny stays up every night
Sunny sleeps late in the morning

She whispers a word of warning
To be 'ware of the lights of morning
By losing their glow the stars tell her go away - away

But still she can see the moon
'Cause she knows she'll be leaving soon
Going away to hide from the day once more

And Sunny sleeps late in the morning
Sunny stays up every night
Sunny sleeps late in the morning

Opens her eyes to starlight
She moves with the cool of moonlight
Losing the day, finding her way to me - to me

But still she can see the moon
'Though she knows she'll be leaving soon
Going away to hide from the day once more

And Sunny sleeps late in the morning
Sunny stays up every night
Sunny sleeps late in the morning

And Sunny sleeps late in the morning
Sunny stays up every night
Sunny sleeps late in the morning

And Sunny sleeps late in the morning
Sunny stays up every night
Sunny sleeps late in the morning

You know you're going to the dance tonight, my dear
'Cause I'm working you're going with the boy I hear
I won't be able to dance with you
But I'll know every little thing you do

I'm on spotlight, baby
I'm working on spotlight, baby

I can see you moving like a candle flickering bright
In my eyes I see you, in my mind it doesn't seem right
I may never be right for you
But every thing I do, I do for you

I'm on the spotlight, baby
I'm working on the spotlight, baby

I'm on the spotlight, baby
I'm working on the spotlight, baby

You know you're going to the dance tonight, my dear
'Cause I'm working you're going with the boy I hear
I won't be able to dance with you
But I'll know every little thing you do

I'm on the spotlight, baby
I'm working on the spotlight, baby
I'm on the spotlight, baby
I'm working on the spotlight, baby
I'm on the spotlight, baby
I'm working on the spotlight, baby
I'm on the spotlight, baby
I'm working on the spotlight, baby...
