28 Jul 08 - 01:05 AM (#2399176) Subject: Lyr Add: WANTED (from Perry Como) From: Jim Dixon The sheet music is viewable at The Indiana University Sheet Music Collections. (I can't imagine why; it should still be under copyright. A goof on their part, I guess.) WANTED Jack Fulton, Lois Steele. © M. Witmark & Sons, 1954. VERSE: My friends were right. They said beware of her. She'd violate the laws of love. I don't know why I still should care for her. I only know I need her so. CHORUS: Wanted: someone who kissed me, and held me closely, then stole my heart. Wanted: someone I trusted, who gave no warning we'd ever part. She was last seen hiding out in someone's arms. He knew nothing of the danger in her charms. A jury may find her guilty, but I'd forgive her if I could see A signed confession that she's repented, and really wanted no one but me. [Recorded by Perry Como.] |

28 Jul 08 - 01:07 AM (#2399177) Subject: Lyr Add: WANTED (parody by Homer & Jethro) From: Jim Dixon From the "video" at YouTube: WANTED As sung by Homer & Jethro Wanted: the girl who kissed me, and took my money, and stole my car. Wanted: the girl I trusted, and left me stranded, as mad as far [=fire]. I can laugh now, 'cause it didn't hurt a bit. The car was stolen and the money counterfeit. She's wanted by all the pólice. They'll never catch her unaware, Because she'll lead them into the roundhouse, and they'll never corner her there. She was last seen in Hernando's Hideaway. She was wearin' one of Benny's old toupees. A jury will find her guilty, and as I see it, there ain't no hope. When she was born her dear old mother should been arrested for smugglin' dope. |
