Best of 1961-1966

The Orlons Best of 1961-1966 Lyrics
1.Cross Fire!

CROSS FIRE
The Orlons

Note:My copy of this song is slightly warped and badly
scratched.
This is the best I can do, but a line or two may be messed
up or missing

Cross fire cross fire cross fire
Me and my baby we were doing fine
When he started dancing he was mine oh mine
Started doing the cross fire cross fire cross fire
And I know it was a big old time
When they started doing that crazy dance
Well that was the ruin of our big romance
Started doing the cross fire cross fire cross fire
And I never never had a chance
Everybody was cross fire (you can do it)
Cross fire (get down to it) cross fire (nothing to it)
Keep your eyes on your mind
And kiss your baby goodbye
I look for my baby but he ain't in view
I'm looking like crazy what could I do
They're doing the cross fire cross fire cross fire
And I found it when the dance was through
Cross fire (you can do it) cross fire (get down to it)
Cross fire (nothing to it)
Keep your eyes on your mind
And kiss your baby goodbye
They're doing the monkey and the pony too
They do something crazy like the hippies do
They're doing the cross fire cross fire cross fire
(start fading) Caught in the middle of the cross fire
Yeah everybody's doing cross fire...


2.Don't Hang Up

Don't Hang Up
The Orlons
(Mann-Appell)

Don't hang up (No No)
Oh don't you do it now,don't hang up (No No)
Don't hang up like you always do
I know you think I want you to
I'll explain the facts to you,don't hang up

Give me a chance or our romance is through
Don't hang up,Oh don't you do it now,don't hang up

I took a walk with Mary Lou
I ran around to visit Sue
She had some boys I never knew
Don't hang up
They took a ride so baby I went too

Stopped at the record hop I had to be a sport
We jumped and we did the slop
Then you walked in....and I was caught
Don't hang up, Oh don't you do it now
Don't hang up

A- you got some explain'in too
A like that chick I saw with you
So talk fast like you always do
Don't hang up, you've got one chance
or our romance is through

Instrumental

Then you walked in and you were caught
Don't hang up Oh don't you do it now don't hang up

I didn't say our love was through
But if we made a fool for two
Cause making up is fun to do
Don't hang up

Cause no one eles will ever do but you
Don't hang up Oh don't you do it now
Or you'll be sorry baby
You know I love you baby


3.The Wah Watusi

The Wah Watusi
The Orlons
Words and Music by Dave Appell and Kal Mann

Wah, wah-a Watusi
C'mon and take a chance and get-a with this dance
Wah, wah-a Watusi
Oh, baby, it's the dance made-a for romance (shoo-bop, shoo-bop,
ahh)

Baby, baby, when you do The Twist
Never, never do you get yourself kissed
'cause you're always dancin' far apart
The Watusi, girl, is-a really smart

Wah-a, wah, wah-a Watusi
C'mon and take a chance and get-a with this dance (shoo-bop,
shoo-bop, ahh)

Baby, baby, when you do The Fly
Your arms are wasted wavin' in the sky
Come on and hold me like a lover should
The Watusi makes you feel so good

Wah-a, wah, wah-a Watusi
Oh, baby, it's the dance made-a for romance
Yay!!

(shoo-bop, shoo-bop, ahh)

Baby, baby, that's the way it goes
Nothing happens when you Mash Potatoes
I just gotta fall in love with you
Watusi is the dance to do

Wah-a, wah, wah-a Watusi
C'mon and take a chance and get-a with this dance

Wah, wah-a Watusi
FADE
Oh, baby, it's the dance made-a for romance

To have a ball with you.
