((( DREAMBOAT ANNIE )))






Heading out this morning into the sun
Riding on the diamond waves, little darlin' one

Warm wind caress her
Her lover it seems
Oh, Annie
Dreamboat Annie my little ship of dreams

Going down the city sidewalk alone in the crowd
No one knows the lonely one whose head's in the clouds

Sad faces painted over with those magazine smiles
Heading out to somewhere won't be back for a while

((( SWEET LORRAINE )))







Just found joy
I'm as happy as a baby boy, baby boy
With another brand new choo-choo choy
When I met my sweet Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine.

A pair of eyes 
That are brighter than the summer sky
When you see them, you'll realize
Why I love my sweet Lorraine.

Now when it's rainin',
I don't miss the sun
Because it's in my baby's smile, whoa ho
And to think that I'm the lucky one 
That will lead her down the aisle, whoa ho ho

Each night I pray
That no one will steal her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When I marry sweet Lorraine.

Now when it's rainin' 
I don't miss the sun 
Because it's in my baby's smile, whoa ho
And to think that I'm the lucky one
That will lead her down the aisle, whoa ho ho

Each night I pray 
That no one will steal her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When I marry sweet Lorraine.

((( COW PATTI )))






From the bad lands came the killer
He lived by the knife and the gun
He'd cut you just for standing
And shoot ya if ya tried to run
He was big as a tree and did as he pleased
And everything he did was bad
And they said if you was to kill him
It'd only make him mad

From the good lands came the cowgirl
Patti was her name
She was hot on the trail of that killer
On a moped she called Flame
'Cause the killer had killed her daddy
Just for spittin' in the road
You only had to kill her daddy once
To get that gal P.O.'d

Yippie eye eh Cow Patti
Yippie eye eh Cow Patti
She rode into town to find the man that killed her daddy
Yippie eye eh Cow Patti

The killer hit town at daybreak
Ate the door of the local saloon
He started to drink you could tell
He was thinking there'll be a showdown soon
Patti hit town in a cloud of dust
Ol' Flame was buzzin' like a saw
And the whole town got quiet as a church
When the killer stepped out for the draw
Forty shots rang out
Forty people fell
Patti and the killer missed each other
But they shot that town to hell

Yippie eye eh Cow Patti
Yippie eye eh Cow Patti
She rode into town to find the man that killed her daddy
Yippie eye eh Cow Patti

The killer took a step towards Patti
Said it's time I gunned you down
But he slipped in something that was layin' in the street
And was shot before he hit the ground
Yes, the killer slipped and it cost him his life
And Patti said as she roared out of town
You gotta watch your step
When you know the chips are down

(( JESUS LOVES THE BOY FROM NEW YORK CITY ))






Ooh wah, ooh wah cool, cool kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City
Ooh wah, ooh wah c'mon kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City

He's kind of tall
He's really fine
Some day I hope to make him mine, all mine
And he's neat
And oh so sweet
And just the way he looked at me
He swept me off my feet
Ooh whee, you ought to come and see
How he walks
And how he talks

Ooh wah, ooh wah cool, cool kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City

He's really down
And he's no clown
He has the finest penthouse I've ever seen in town
And he's cute
In his mohair suit
And he keeps his pockets full of spending loot
Ooh whee, say you ought to come and see
His dueling scar
And brand new car

Every time he says he loves me
Chills run down my spine
Every time he wants to kiss me
He makes me feel so fine
Ooh wah, ooh wah cool, cool kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City

Well he can dance (He can dance, take a chance with a little)
And make romance (Romance baby, cause he's a looker)
That's when I feel in love 
With just one glance (He's sweet talking and cool)

He was shy 
And so was I
And now I know I'll never, ever say goodbye
Ooh whee, say you ought to come and see
He's the most
From coast to coast

Ooh wah, ooh wah cool, cool kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City
Ooh wah, ooh wah c'mon kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City

((( LOVE WILL KEEP US TOGETHER )))






Love
Love will keep us together
Think of me babe, whenever
Some sweet-talking girl comes along, singing her song
Don't mess around, you've just got to be strong, just stop
'Cause I really love you, stop
I'll be thinking of you
Look in my heart and let love keep us together

You
You belong to me now
Ain't gonna set you free now
When those girl start hanging around talking me down
Hear with your heart and you won't hear a sound, just stop (stop)
'Cause I really love you, stop (stop)
I'll be thinking of you
Look in my heart and let love keep us together

Whatever
Young and beautiful
But someday your looks will be gone
When the others turn you off
Who'll be turning you on?

I will, I will, I will
I will be there to share forever
Love will keep us together
I said it before and I'll say it again while others pretend
I need you now and I'll need you then, just stop (stop)
'Cause I really love you, stop (stop)
I'll be thinking of you
Look in my heart and let love keep us together

Whatever, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, whatever
I will, I will, I will, I will

You better stop
'Cause I really love you, stop (stop)
I'll be thinking of you
Look in my heart and let love keep us together
Whatever, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, whatever
I will, I will, I will, I will

((( SMILE )))






Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking.
When there are clouds in the sky
you'll get by.

If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
For you.

Light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness.
Although a tear may be ever so near

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying.
You'll find that life is still worthwhile-
If you just smile.
(instrumental)

That's the time you must keep on trying
smile, what's the use of crying
you'll find that life is still worthwhile
if you just smile

smile, though your heart is aching
smile, even though it's breaking
when there are clouds in the sky
you'll get by

That's the time you must keep on trying
smile, what's the use of crying
you'll find that life is still worthwhile
if you just (smile)

You'll find that life is still worthwhile
if you just smile
SMILE

((( YOU AND ME AGAINST THE WORLD )))






Tuesday, September 8, 1998

Star-Bulletin
Waikiki entertainer and ventriloquist Freddie Morris, 
shown here with his stage dummy Moku Kahana in 1985, 
died last night at Castle Hospital. He was 39.

Isle ventriloquist
Freddie Morris dies after
20 years of entertaining

Star-Bulletin
Tapa
Waikiki entertainer and ventriloquist Freddie Morris died last night 
at Castle Hospital after suffering a seizure.

Morris, 39, suffered from a seizure disorder for the past two years, according to his manager Shauna Tabor. Morris collapsed at his home last night and was taken to Castle, where he died.

Funeral services are pending.

Morris had been a ventriloquist since he was 7.

Kimo McVay said he began managing Morris more than 20 years ago after seeing his show at a Waikiki coffee shop. "He was a ventriloquist, and I wasn't too thrilled about ventriloquists," McVay said. "He had a dummy whom he called Archie, and I wasn't that impressed with the dummy, but the audience loved him.

"After I decided to manage him, we decided to change the dummy and we created Moku Kahana. We sent the manufacturer pictures of various famous Hawaiians and Hawaiian entertainers.

"It was later that I realized that the name Moku Kahana is Kahanamoku spelled backwards. It must have been a Freudian slip because I had been a close friend of Duke Kahanamoku. . . ."

"(Morris) was the nicest, loving and caring individual."

Morris appeared on Channel 9's Checkers and Pogo afternoon kids' television show during his nearly two decades in entertainment.

A partial list of survivors include two sisters, Denise and Joy; 
and several brothers including Bobby and Barry.





Tell me again, mommy

You and me against the world
Sometimes it feels like you and me against the world
When all the others turn their backs and walk away
You can count on me to stay

Remember when the circus came to town
And you were frightened by the clown
Wasn't it nice to be around someone that you knew
Someone who was big and strong and looking out for you 

And me against the world
Sometimes it feels like you and me against the world
And for all the times we've cried
I always felt that God was on our side

And when one of us is gone
And one of us is left to carry on
Then remembering will have to do
Our memories alone will get us through
Think about the days of me and you
You and me against the world

And when one of us is gone
And one of us is left to carry on
Then remembering will have to do
Our memories alone will get us through
Think about the days of me and you
You and me against the world

I love you, mommy
I love you too, baby
