Quotes

• Catch a falling star an’ put it in your pocket,
  Never let it fade away!
  Catch a falling star an’ put it in your pocket,
  Save it for a rainy day!
  For love may come an' tap you on the shoulder,
  Some starless night!
  • Song "Catch a Falling Star" (1957)

• One and two and three and four,
  Tell them what the girlie wore.
  It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini
  That she wore for the first time today,
  An itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini
  So in the locker she wanted to stay
  • Song "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" (1960)

• Your lips are thrilling
  My arms are willing
  I know that I shouldn't stay.
  If I don't leave I'll be sorry
  What will my Mary say?
  • Song "What Will Mary Say" (1963)

• My folks were always putting her down (down, down)
  Because her laundry came back brown (brown, brown)
  I don't care if they think she's bad
  I fell in love cuz she looked so sad
  I got a date tonight with the Leader Of the Laundromat .
  • Song "Leader Of The Laundromat" (1964)

• Tracy, when I'm with you
  Somethin' you do
  Bounces me off the ceiling
  Tracy, day after day
  When you're this way
  I get a lovin' feelin'.
  • Song "Tracy" (1969)

• When this old world gets me down and there's no love to be found
  I close my eyes and soon I find I'm in a playground in my mind
  Where the children laugh and the children play
  And we sing a song all day.
  • Song "Playground In My Mind" (1973)
