Walking After Midnight
(A. Block / D. Hecht )
Lead Singer: Billy
I go out walking after midnight
Out in the moonlight just like we used to do
I'm always walking after midnight searching for you
I walk for miles along the highway
Well that's just my way of saying I love you
I'm always walking after midnight searching for you
I stopped to see a weeping willow
Crying on his pillow maybe he's crying for me
Well as the skies turn gloomy
The night winds whisper to me I'm lonesome as I can be
I'm always walking after midnight out in the moonlight
Just hoping I might find you somewhere walking
after midnight searching for you
See a weeping willow
Crying on his pillow maybe he's crying for me
Well as the skies turn gloomy
The night winds whisper to me I'm lonesome as I can be
I'm always walking after midnight out in the moonlight
Just like we used to do
I'm always walking after midnight searching for you
I stop to see a weeping willow
Crying on his pillow maybe he's crying for me
Well as the skies turn gloomy
The night winds whisper to me I'm lonesome as I can be
I'm always walking after midnight out in the moonlight
Just hoping I might find you
Somewhere walking after midnight searching for me

Blue Bayou
(J. Melson / R. Orbison )
Lead Singer: Billy
I feel so bad I got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind
On Blue Bayou
Saving nickles saving dimes
Work until the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou
I'm going back someday
Goin' stay
On Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
And the world is mine
On Blue Bayou
Oh those fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be
I'll go to see my baby again
It'll be with some of my friends
Maybe I'll be better then
On Blue Bayou
Saving nickles saving dimes
Work until the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou
I'm going back someday
Goin' stay
On Blue Bayou
Where I sleep all day
And the catfish play
On Blue Bayou
Oh that girl of mine, by my side
The silver moon and the evening tide
Oh some sweet day, going to take away
This hurting inside
I'll go to see my baby again
It'll be with some of my friends
Maybe I'll be better then
On Blue Bayou
Saving nickles saving dimes
Work until the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou
I'm going back someday
Goin' stay
On Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
And the world is mine
On Blue Bayou
Oh that girl of mine, by my side
The silver moon and the evening tide
Oh some sweet day, going to take away
This hurting inside
I'll never be blue
My dreams come true
On Blue Bayou

(C'est Le Vie) You Never Can Tell
(C. Berry)
Lead Singer: Steve or Tim
It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well
You could tell that Pierre did truly love his madamoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell,
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale
The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale,
But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
They had a hi-fi phono,and, man did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records, all 'em rock, rhythm and jazz
But when the lights went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
They had a hopped-up jitney, 'twas a cherry red '53,
They drove to New Orleans to celebrate the anniversary
It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely madamoiselle
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well
You could tell that Pierre did truly love his madamoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell,
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

Return To Sender
(D. Blackwell / W. Scott)
Lead Singer: Billy
Return to sender, Return to sender,
Return to sender, Return to sender
I gave a letter to the postman,
He put it his sack.
Bright and early next morning,
I got my letter back.
She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.
We had a quarrel, a lover's spat
I write I'm sorry but my letter keeps coming back.
So I dropped it in the mailbox
And sent it special D.
Bright and early next morning
It came right back to me.
She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.
Well this time I'm gonna take it myself
And put it right in her hand.
And if it comes back the very next day
Then I'll understand (the writing on it)
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.
No No No No
Well, Return
Well this time I'm gonna take it myself
And put it right in her hand.
And if it comes back the very next day
Then I'll understand (the writing on it)
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such person, no such zone.
Well, Return to sender,
Well, Return to sender,
Yeah, Return to sender.

Walk Right Back
(S. Curtis)
Lead Singer: Billy and Steve or Tim
I want you to tell me why you walked out on me
I’m so lonesome every day
I want you to know that since you walked out on me
Nothin’ seems to be the same old way
Think about the love that burns within my heart for you
The good times we had before you went away, oh me
Walk right back to me this minute
Bring your love to me, don’t send it
I’m so lonesome every day
I want you to tell me why you walked out on me
I’m so lonesome every day
I want you to know that since you walked out on me
Nothin’ seems to be the same old way
Think about the love that burns within my heart for you
The good times we had before you went away, oh me
Walk right back to me this minute
Bring your love to me, don’t send it
I’m so lonesome every day
Oh, I’m so lonesome every day
Oh, I’m so lonesome every day

The Ballad of John and Yoko Lyrics
(J. Lennon / P. McCartney)
Lead Singer: Steve or Tim
Standing in the dock at Southampton,
Trying to get to Holland or France.
The man in the mac said, "You've got to turn back".
You know they didn't even give us a chance.
Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They're going to crucify me.
Well finally made the plane into Paris,
Honey mooning down by the Seine.
Peter Brown called to say,
"You can make it O.K.,
You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain".
Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They're going to crucify me.
Well from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton,
Talking in my beds for a week.
The newspapers said, "Say what you doing in bed?"
I said, "We're only trying to get us some peace".
Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They're going to crucify me.
Well saving up your money for a rainy day,
Giving all your clothes to charity.
Last night the wife said,
"Oh boy, when you're dead
You don't take nothing with you
But your soul - say!"
Made a lightning trip to Vienna,
Eating chocolate cake in a bag.
The newspapers said, "She's gone to his head,
They look just like two gurus in drag".
Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They're going to crucify me.
I finally made a plane back to London.
Sixty acorns tied in a sack.
The men from the press said, "We wish you success,
It's good to have the both of you back".
Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They're going to crucify me.
The way things are going
They're going to crucify me.

A Thousand Times
(Billy Cowsill/Mark Irwin)
Lead Singer: Billy
I told you no a thousand times
Don't try to make me change my mind
You see I'm happy where I am
And I don't need your cheating kind
I told my baby I'd be true
Twas on the day we said I do
To hurt her once would be a crime
I told you no a thousand times
Well, I've been a fool before
Now I don't fool around no more
Cuz when it comes to love
I learned my lesson well
Don't get me wrong it's crossed my mind
I've just can't step across that line
She's someone I don't want to lose
True love is hard enough to find
Go give your heart to someone else
Then maybe you'll see for yourself
And understand the reason why
I told you no a thousand times
You see I've been a fool before
Now I don't fool around no more
Cuz when it comes to love
I learned my lesson well
Go give your heart to someone else
Then maybe you'll see for yourself
And understand the reason why
I told you no a thousand times
You'll understand the reason why
I told you no a thousand times

One night with you,
Is what I'm now praying for.
These things that we two can get
Would make my dreams come true.

Been too lonely too long.

Little sister, don't you run
Little sister, don't you run

Then say it's very nice

Think On It
(Jeffrey Hatcher)
Lead Singer: Billy
So much work are some stories
Sometimes they just hide themselves
So much work to say I'm sorry
When it feels like I'm talking to myself
She said her love for me was dyin'
Before it's gone I feel
I should be gone too
And I'll think on it
Ahh but not tonight
Pass another won't you
Keep me thinking I'm alright
Search is on for the darkness
For the night that has no end
I never hoped with this loneliness
To find a true and everlasting friend
Cuz when I feel that something matters
Then I know I'm not far enough gone
And I'll think on it
Ahh but not tonight
Pass another won't you
Keep me thinking I'm alright
Whoooaaa
And when I feel that something matters
Then I know I'm not far enough gone
And I'll think on it
Ahh but not tonight
Pass another won't you
Keep me thinking I'm alright
So I'll think on it
Ahh but not tonight
Pass another won't you
Keep me thinking I'm alright
Whoooaaa and I'll think on it ooooooo

It's All Over Now
(B. & S. Womack)
Lead Singer: Billy
Well, baby used to stay out all night long
She made me cry, she done me wrong
She hurt my eyes open, that's no lie
Tables turn and now her turn to cry
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Well, I wake up every morning, get my breakfast in bed
I get worried she'd ease my aching head
But now she's here and there, with every man in town
Still trying to take me for that same old clown
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Well, I wake up every morning, get my breakfast in bed
I'd gotten worried she'd ease my aching head
But now she's here and there, with every man in town
Still trying to take me for that same old clown
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
