Subject: Lyr Add: SEVEN LITTLE GIRLS SITTING IN THE BACK... From: Jim Dixon Date: 21 Apr 04 - 09:17 PM Copied from http://www.webfitz.com/lyrics/Lyrics/1959/261959c.html SEVEN LITTLE GIRLS SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT Lyrics by: Lee Pockriss and Bob Hilliard Recorded by Paul Evans & The Curls, 1959 (Dee doody doom doom, dee doody doom doom. Dee doody doom doom, DOOM.) Seven little girls, sittin' in the back seat, Huggin' and a-kissin' with Fred. I said, "Why don't one of you come up and sit beside me?" And this is what the seven girls said: CHORUS: (All together now, one, two, three: Keep your mind on your drivin'; Keep your hands on the wheel; Keep your snoopy eyes on the road ahead. We're havin' fun, sittin' in the back seat, Kissin' and a-huggin' with Fred. (Dee doody doom doom, dee doody doom doom. Dee doody doom doom, DOOM.) Drove through the town, drove through the country, Showed 'em how a motor could go. I said, "How do you like my triple carburetor?" And one of them whispered low: CHORUS (Dee doody doom doom, dee doody doom doom. Dee doody doom doom, DOOM.) Seven little girls smoochin' in the back seat, Every one in love with Fred. I said, "You don't need me. I'll get off at my house," And this is what the seven girls said: CHORUS All of them in love with Fred. (Dee doody doom doom.) Kissin' and a-huggin' with Fred. (Dee doody doom doom.) Wish that I could be like Fred. (DOOM.) |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: girls in the front-got girls in the back From: Snuffy Date: 19 Apr 04 - 08:47 AM Definitely "snoopy", and I seem to remember the carburetter was triple, not double. And wasn't the last verse just: Seven little girls, sittin' in the back seat Huggin' and a-kissin' with Fred I said "You don't need me, I'll get out at my house" And this is what the seven girls said... |

We're having fun sitting in the back seat Huggin' and a-kissin' with Fred I drove through the town I drove through the country To show them how my motor could go I said "how do you like my dual carburettor?" And the 7 girls whispered quite low, "All together now, 1, 2, 3.." Keep your mind on your driving, Keep your hands on the wheel Keep your (snoopy?) eyes on the road ahead.

Subject: Lyr Add: DO WACKA DO (Roger Miller) From: Barbara Date: 19 Apr 04 - 12:37 AM Close, but no prize. Interesting how the same themes crop up in so many of his songs. Here it is, though. DO WACKA DO. Blessings, Barbara Miller Roger Album: King of the Road Do-wacka-do Well, I hear tell You're doin' well – Good things have come to you. I wish I had your happiness, And you had a do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do. They tell me You're runnin' free – Your days are never blue. Well, I wish I had your good-luck charm, And you had a do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do. I see you goin' down the street in your big Cadillac – You got girls in the front – got girls in the back! Yeah, and way in the back, you got money in a sack; Both hands on the wheel and your shoulders rared back! Rit-dit-dit-dit-dit-da-do-der… Well, I hear tell You're doin' well – Good things have come to you. I wish I had your happiness, And you had a do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do. [Scat singing] I see you goin' down the street in your big Cadillac – You got girls in the front – girls in the back! Yeah, and way in the back, you got money in a sack; Both hands on the wheel and your shoulders rared back! Rit-dit-dit-dit-dit-da-do-der… Well, I hear tell You're doin' well – Good things have come to you. I wish I had your good-luck charm, And you had a do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do.

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: girls in the front-got girls in the back From: Barbara Date: 19 Apr 04 - 12:27 AM Well, if it's not "Dang Me," it might be "Kansas City Star" or "Takes All Kinds to Make a World". I'm sure it's Roger Miller. I can hear him singing it. Blessings, Barbara |
