"The Actress"

   
(Roy Orbison / Joe Melson)

Well, you should be an actress
You play your part so well
Your act is so believeable
That no one else can tell

You say the lines but I see
That you don't really love me
You keep me around to be your faithful clown
Till someone you can love comes along

And you'll keep on pretending
Because the show must go on
Yes, you should be an actress

As lovely as you are
The way you play on emotions
You'd shame the brightest star
You're acting all the time

No, you're not really mine
I'm just another scene in your "play acting" scheme
No, you don't love me at all
But when you walk away
That's when the curtain will fall

But I'll go all the way to the end of the play
I'll be a part of your masquerade
Although I know it may be the saddest show
In the life of a fool on parade

"The Crowd"

   
(Roy Orbison / Bill Dees)

I go out with the crowd
I play the game
Pretending out loud
But it don't seem the same
For the heart of the crowd
Is gone from sight

My part of the crowd
Is not with me tonight
I remember the fun
Ev'ry dance with you
All the crazy things
That we used to do

Sometimes we'd wait for a chance
And then we'd steal away
From the crowd and the dance
To our hide away
Oh, but you're gone and it's not the same old gang
I fall apart each time I hear your name

Guess I'll go along with the crowd
I'll make believe
That you'll come back to me
Run back to me, hurry back to the crowd and me

"There Won't Be Many Coming Home"

   
(Roy Orbison / Bill Dees)

Listen all you people, try and understand
You may be a soldier, woman, child or man
But there won't be many coming home,
No, there won't be many coming home,
Oh, there won't be many, maybe ten out of twenty,
But there won't be many coming home.

Now the old folks will remember
On that dark and dismal day
How their hearts were choked with pride
As their children marched away
Now the glory is all gone, they are left alone,
And there won't be many coming home,
Oh, there won't be many coming home.
Oh, there won't be many, but there may not be any,
But there won't be many coming home,
If they all came back but one,
He was still some mother's son,
And there won't be many coming home.

No, there won't be many coming home,
No, there won't be many coming home,
Oh, there won't be many, maybe five out of twenty,
But there won't be many coming home.

Look real closely at the soldier
Coming at you through the haze,
He may be the younger brother who ran away,
And before you kill another, listen to what I say,
Oh, there won't be many coming home,
Oh, there won't be many coming home.
Oh, there won't be many, but there may not be any,
But there won't be many cominng hom,
If they all came back but one,
HE was still some mother's son,
And there won't be many coming home.
No, there won't be many coming home.
Oh, there won't be many coming home.

"Too Soon To Know"

   
(Don Gibson)

It's too soon to know
If I can forget her
My heart's been broken in too many pieces
And it's too soon to know.

Time passes slow,
Will I ever know
If I can forget her and not let it show
But it's too soon to know.

News travels fast when a love affair ends
People keep asking, "What happened to them?"
But it's too soon to know
If I can forget her
My heart's been broken in too many pieces
And it's too soon to know.

"Twinkle Toes"

   
(Roy Orbison / Bill Dees)

Well, a soul band's wailin' behind the beat,
And they cook when you walk in.
You're a "Go-go girl" now,
You work it out, now.
Work while the blue light spin,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ev'rybody knows when you start to dance,
Now you're Twinkle Toes.

Twinkle Toes, you move and you go,
And you know you do it right.
Up and down, now you dance around, now.
You're lookin' good tonight,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Come on, come on, now
Twinkle Toes, dance on and on, now.
Yeah, but Twinkle Toes, I know you're trying
To hide your broken heart, you act so gay.

Yeah, behind the smile, I know you're crying.
Your great big lonely eyes give you away,
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

Twinkle Toes you know you must hang on, girl.
Hang on tight, don't let your feelings show.
Twinkle Toes, you know you must dance on, girl.
If you work it right, they'll never know.

Twinkle Toes, it's tough to forget,
But ev'rything's all right.
Yeah, Twinkle Toes, get set,
'cause I bet I take you home tonight
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, you're all right, now.
Yeah, Twinkle Toes you're out of sight, now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, you're so fine, girl.
Yeah, Twinkle Toes, you've hurt my mind, girl.

Twinkle Toes, come on, carry on,
Now when the dance is through
You won't be lonely, you won't be blue tonight,
I'll be with you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, Twinkle Toes.

"Uptown"

   
(Roy Orbison / Joe Melson)

Uptown, in penthouse number three
Uptown, there lives a doll just made for me.
She's the finest thing that you've ever seen,
Oh ho ha.

Uptown, I see her most every day
Uptown, but she never ever looks my way
I'm just a bellhop, you see I can't stop,
And tell her what I wanna say
That one of these days, I'm gonna have money,
She'll wanta be my ever lovin' honey.
It won't be long, just wait and see
I'll have a big car, fine clothes, and then I'll be uptown
In penthouse number three
Uptown, just my baby and me

Uptown, in penthouse number three

"Wait"

   
(Roy Orbison/Bill Dees)

We walked in shadows
We talked in shadows
We date in shadows dark and cold
But wait, it will be alright
Wait, baby, hold me so tight
I hate to break her loving heart in two
But wait, I can't stay away from you
I promise you I'll be with you tomorrow night
I have to wait until the time is right

Yeah, wait a little longer now
Wait, be stronger now
Wait a little longer now for me
Oh, what you do to me
Wait now until I am free
Yeah, wait a little longer now
Wait, be stronger now
Wait a little longer for me

Wait, wait, try to hang on girl
Wait, wait, try to be strong girl
Now, wait, wait, wait, come on, come on, girl
Yeah, wait, wait, wait try to be strong girl
Yeah, wait a little longer now
Wait, be stronger now

Wait, wait, try to hang on girl
Wait, wait, try to be strong girl
Now, wait, wait, wait, come on, come on, girl
Yeah, wait, wait, wait try to be strong girl and wait

"Walk On"

   
(Roy Orbison/Bill Dees)

Walk on if we should meet
Walk on on down the street
Walk on don't even look
Walk on close up the book
We don't want the world to see us like we are
We should never have even gone this far
Quickly, brush away that tear-drop
Walk away, darling, don't stop
Don't look back at me, baby,

Walk on, don't turn around
Walk on, to higher ground
Think of all we've shared together, keep it in your heart forever
Don't forget me, but, baby, walk on
If you ever loved me, baby, walk on

"Where Is Tomorrow"

   
(Roy Orbison/Bills Dees)

Where is tomorrow
An island of dreams
Where is tomorrow
Flying on golden wings
Tomorrow

Where is tomorrow
The end of time
Where is tomorrow
You're no longer mine

Tomorrow, tomorrow
I'll get over you
Tomorrow, tomorrow
When tomorrow comes
Then I'll stop loving you
Tomorrow

Where is tomorrow
Tomorrow is gone
Gone, lost in star-dust
Hiding from the dawn

Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
I long for tomorrow
I'll be strong tomorrow
I won't cry for you tomorrow

Where is tomorrow
Where is tomorrow
Tomorrow

"With The Bug"

   
(Roy Orbison)

Down thru the ages woman's had a time trin' to get her man to walk the chalk line
To keep him on the string with a kiss and a hug
But there's never been a man that wasn't bitten by the bug

[Chorus:]
Yeah, rockin' and a rollin' with the bug
Rollin' and a strollin' with the bug
Itchin' and a twitchin' a singin' and a swingin', yeah, with the bug

Well, Delilah loved Sammy but he wouldn't stay home
Always a runnin' and a leavin' "D" home
She set out to find Sammy later one night
Found him down at the Sand Dune a rockin' it right

[Chorus]

Well, Helen of Troy, a cool smile on her lips
She sported the face that launched a thousand ships
But she couldn't control the wiggle in her hips
She lost her fame and her fortune just from this

[Chorus]

Josephine had trouble from the start
She couldn't keep her eye on little Bonaparte
Every single time that Josie looked around
She found her "Boney" runnin' round and around

[Chorus]

Well, modern time's the same as history
Even in the twentieth century
And our future now is just as plain to see
If we don't look out, the bug will get you and me
