BACK TO CHERYL'S SHA NA NA PAGE!
Blue moon,
You saw me standing alone,
Without a dream in my heart,
Without a love of my own.
Blue moon,
You knew just what I was there for.
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for.
And then suddenly
Appeared before me,
The only one my arms could ever hold.
I heard somebody whisper
"Please adore me,"
But when I looked,
That moon had turned to gold.
Blue moon,
Now I'm no longer alone,
Without a dream in my heart,
Without a love of my own.
Without a love of my own.

ROCK AND ROLL IS HERE TO STAY
Rock and roll is here to stay,
It will never die.
It was meant to be that way
Though I don't know why.
I don't care what people say -
Rock and roll is here to stay!
(We don't care what people say,
Rock and roll is here to stay)
Rock and roll will always be,
I'll dig it to the end.
It'll go down in history,
Just you wait my friend
Rock and roll will always be,
It'll go down in history.
(Rock and roll will always be.
It'll go down in history)
So c'mon, everybody rock.
Everybody rock.
Everybody rock.
Everybody rock.
Come on, everybody rock.
Now everybody rock and roll.
Everybody rock and roll.
Everybody rock and roll.
Everybody rock and roll.
Come on, everybody rock and roll.
Rock and roll will always be,
I'll dig it to the end.
Itll go down in history,
Just you wait my friend.
Rock and roll will always be,
It'll go down in history.
If you don't like rock and roll,
Think what you've been missin'.
But if you like to bop and stroll,
Come on down and listen
Let's all start to have a ball -
Everybody rock and roll!

THOSE MAGIC CHANGES
What's that playing on the radio?
Why do I start swaying to and fro?
I have never heard that song before,
But if I don't hear it anymore -
It's still familiar to me,
Sends a thrill right through me.
Cause those chords remind me of the night
That I first fell in love to...
Those magic changes
My heart arranges
A melody that's never the same.
A melody that's calling your name
And begs you please, come back to me
Please, return to me,
Don't go away again,
Oh make them play again
The music that I wanna hear
As once again, you whisper in my ear,
Oh my darling, uh huh.
I'll be waiting by the radio.
You'll come back to me someday, I know.
Been so lonesome since our last goodbye,
But I'm singin' as I cry.
While the bass is sounding,
While the drums are pounding,
Beatings of my broken heart
Will rise to first place on the charts.
Oh my heart arranges,
Oh, those magic changes, oooh yeah...

HOUND DOG
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time.
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time.
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine.
They said you was high class,
Now that was just a lie.
Called you high class,
That was just a lie.
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine.

BORN TO HAND JIVE
Before I was born late one night,
My papa said everything's alright.
The doctor came, my ma laid down
With her stomach bouncin' all around.
'Cause the be-bop stork was about to arrive -
Mama gave birth to the hand jive.
I could barely walk when I milked a cow.
When I was three, I pushed a plough.
While chopping wood, I'd move my legs,
And I started to dance while I gathered eggs.
Townfolk clapped, I was only five.
I'll outdance 'em all, he was born to hand jive.
Born to hand jive, baby,
Born to hand jive, baby
How low can you go?
How low can you go?
How low can you go?
How low can you go?
Higher, higher, higher, and higher...
Now can you hand jive, baby?
Oh, can you hand jive, baby?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah -
Born to hand jive - oh yeah!

TEARS ON MY PILLOW
You don't remember me,
But I remember you.
'Twas not so long ago,
You broke my heart in two.
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Caused by you, you.
If we could start anew,
I wouldn't hesitate.
I'd gladly take you back
And tempt the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart,
Caused by you, you, you, you, you.
Love is not a gadget,
Love is not a toy.
When you find the one you love,
He'll fill your heart with joy.
If we could start anew,
I wouldn't hesitate.
I'd gladly take you back
And tempt the hands of fate.
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart,
Caused by you, you.
