Madame Sheba

Small town summer time
Night without end
Waiting for the world to start
Breathing each breath like every ones the last
And keeping one hand on your heart
Big top setting up
County down the line
A carnival calliope affair
Slow roller coasters, games without chance
But the real reason everybody’s there
chorus
Madame Sheba
All questions answered
Love problems cheerfully solved
See the future
Got the vision
Guaranteed no deception involved
repeat chorus
Cutrate Cavanaugh can’t keep a wife
Had a half a dozen, if he had one
Every chick gets sick of all his two-bit ways
Counting on them for his fun
A little fast talk fixing up a Sheba deluxe
A potion with a notion to cure
Now Cutrate spends his money like somebody else’s
His happy new Mrs. is sure
Repeat chorus
More in Love
©Kent Rose Memory Train Publishing / BMI
We don’t care what people say
About the things we do
We hurt no one and live our lives
And hope love will see us through
Sometimes when the night grows near
And carries the day away
We dim the lights and close the door
With just one thing to say
I’ve never been happier, more in love
Than I am today
I sit alone and watch passing cars
Under skies of gray
And oh my love, you’re so far away
Yet I’ve never been happier, more in love
Than I am today
Time will change the world around
And things we used to know
May disappear without a trace
And we’ll just watch ‘em go
Even when we’re far apart
Though closer than it seems
I hear you whisper in my ear
And hold you in my dreams
Old Movies Old Memories

Cary Grant says “How do you do?”
John Wayne says “Howdy”
Set ‘em up for the boys in the back
Before they get too rowdy
Who’s that woman in the dance hall dress
Eyes roll like thunder
Talk that’s been around enough to know
Says she’s an all American wonder
Old movies, old memories and Champagne for one
I could be sweet delivery and see how they run
Old movies, old memories in the dawn’s early light
I could be sweet delivery but I can’t make it right
yodel
James Stewart says “So long now”
Chevalier says “Adieu”
Come with me to the Casbah, baby
Paradise rendezvous
Ride across the desert sands
Meet me by the water
I am a street-thief living in exile
You are a sultan’s daughter
Old movies, old memories and Champagne for one
I could be sweet delivery and see how they run
Old movies, old memories in the dawn’s early light
I could be sweet delivery but I can’t make it right
yodel
Pretty World of Make-Believe
©Kent Rose Memory Train Publishing / BMI
I don’t drink too much at the tavern
Or wear my broken heart on my sleeve
I never shed a tear or wish you were here
In my pretty world of make-believe
I wake up every morning and I’m happy
Surrounded by the love I receive
That smile that’s on my face never goes any other place
But that’s in my pretty world of make-believe
In my pretty world of make-believe I’m all right
I never spend a lonely day or walk a sleepless night
The mailman just brought me a letter
You write one every day for me to read
And each and every line says everything is fine
That’s in my pretty world of make-believe.
Restless Cat
©Kent Rose Memory Train Publishing / BMI
I’m a restless, restless cat
Got a hole in my left shoe
And a brand new hat
Gimme a little kiss, I like it like that
I’m a restless, restless cat
I wake up way before my alarm clock rings
Never go to sleep until the birdies sing
Have a one-way ticket on a train to St. Lou
One to California and one to Baton Rouge
chorus
I’m a restless, restless cat
Got a hole in my left shoe
And a brand new hat
Gimme a little kiss, I like it like that
I’m a restless, restless cat
Well you won’t see me standing at the end of any line
Patience is a virtue but not one of mine
People to do, places to see
Whole world’s wide open to a guy like me
repeat chorus
Early to bed and early to rise
Makes a man healthy as most other guys
Thy daily bread thy will be done
I’m on the lookout for action
Baby I’m lookin’ for fuuun
repeat chorus
Ripped Up Rocked Out
©Kent Rose Memory Train Publishing / BMI
I got my paycheck in my pocket and I’m ready to spend it all
I got my paycheck in my pocket and I’m ready to spend it all
Gonna get into some trouble, have myself a ball
I got fundamental rhythm, sacramental wine
I got fundamental rhythm, sacramental wine
May not get religion but I’m sure enough feeling fine
Chorus
Ripped up rocked out
And I’m ready to roll with you all night long
Ripped up rocked out
And I’m ready to roll with you all night long
If morning comes too early we just keep rolling on
I’m going to make my move at midnight, better keep track of the time
I’m going to make my move at midnight, better keep track of the time
I got the notion and the motion for that sweet little gal of mine
Repeat chorus
Additional chorus
Rip it, rock it, rollin’ and a reelin’
Rock it, rip it, rollin’ with a feelin’
Rip it, rock it, rollin’ and a reelin’
Rock it, rip it, rollin’ with a feelin’
If morning comes too early we just keep rolling on
Send Love and a Letter
©Kent Rose Memory Train Publishing / BMI
Birthday blues
Front page news
Neither one are things that you choose
How I wish I could do
Something about this hold on you
Send love and a letter
Send it home right away
Well the winter’s gone
I hope you are feeling better
So I send love and a letter
many yodels
All alone
Streets of stone
So many roads so far from home
Darkness falls
Day is through
But right around the corner
Skies of blue
many yodels
She Said She Said
©Kent Rose Memory Train Publishing / BMI
She’s got a face like a plate of fried eggs
And a little bitty dog that begs
A psychotic personality
And she said the same thing about me
She got a walk like an Irish jig
In her $29.95 wig
Sent a letter to her Aunt Marie
And she said the same thing about me
She said the same thing same thing
Said the same thing about me
She said she said
She said the same thing about me
She goes crazy for crepe Suzette
With her go-go dancer named Chet
When she parties she goes on a spree
And she said the same thing about me
She can tango when the lights are low
Rock steady on the Kokomo
She’s the devil in dungarees
And she said the same thing about me
Silence Speaks Louder than Words
©Kent Rose Memory Train Publishing / BMI
There’s the phone, it used to ring
All kinds of people talk about most anything
Now it sits staring back at me
Got nothing to do so the two of us sit and watch TV
chorus
I think it’s true
One thing I’ve heard
Silence speaks louder than words
Howl like a dog
Whistle like a bird
Silence speaks louder than words
There’s the car, we used to ride
In that passenger seat you sitting by my side
With the radio on turned up real loud
Now I sit in the middle of a lost and lonely crowd
Slipped Tripped and Fell in Love
©Kent Rose Memory Train Publsihing / BMI
Just another Saturday night
Everything and nothing to do
I turn my little radio on
Music and the static came through
The records they’re playing don’t git it
I don’t wanna hear the bad news
Think I’ll head on down to the dance hall
Before I stand accused
Chorus
Because I slipped, tripped and fell in love
Head over heart over heels
Hey I got hip, flipped, really tell in love
Now I know how it feels
And baby I’m fallin’ for you
Baby I’m fallin’ for you
Just another Saturday night
Couples walking hand in hand
Arm in arm as they tumble down
Caught up in the rhythm of the band
You were standing in the doorway
Time was just standing still
I always said I wasn’t going to do it
But now I think that I will
Repeat chorus
And I I I I I I love you and I do
And I I I I I I think you love me too
Love me do, love me do, love me do
And I do woh woh woh
Repeat chorus
Something Beautiful
©Kent Rose Memory Train Publishing / BMI
It’s not just the words you say
Or the way you walk when you walk my way
It takes me back to yesterday
When love was new
When I close my tired eyes
What I see I see is no surprise
Guess I’m one of the lucky guys
For all you do
Chorus
Now I see there’s something beautiful
Something beautiful
Something beautiful
Something about you
And if it’s just a storybook
I’ll turn the page and take a look
Standing right in front of me all I ever want to see
It’s not just the restless skies
Or the moon that hears the moonlight’s sighs
I never thought I’d realize and carry it through
Repeat chorus
Southern Snow
©Kent Rose Memory Train Publishing / BMI
Here comes the end of the world
Where are we gonna go
Don't cry little darlin'
It's only southern snow
Tired of all that sunshine
Let the cold wind blow
Don't cry little darlin'
It's only southern snow
It sure does look pretty on TV
But a spin out on the highway takes the charm right out of me
They're running wild in Birmingham
Tore up in Tupelo
Don't cry little darlin'
It's only southern snow
If I make it home tonight
But what time, I don't know
Don't cry little darlin'
It's only southern snow
Swing of Things
©Kent Rose Memory Train Publishing / BMI
chorus
Oh I just can’t get into the swing of things
I’m a bum walkin’ around
This world of queens and kings
Though I try with all my might
Nothing works out right
I just can’t get into the swing of things
I’m always one step ahead or one step behind
When everybody’s certain then I change my mind
If they’re driving on the left you know where I’ll be found
On the right side of the road in the wrong part of town
repeat chorus
If polka dots, well then it’s stripes for me
If they’re reading romance, then I’ve got a mystery
If everybody checks you out when you pass by
They smile and say hello
But I break down and cry-y-y
