Heppest Cat
By Charles R. Martin
You can look high
You can look low
Check the cowboys at the rodeo
But Daddy’s the heppest cat in town
You can search south
You can hobnob north
Up to Philadelphia on July 4th
But Daddy’s the heppest cat around
Ain’t no cat like Daddy
He’s your fetchin’ laddie
No sense being caddy
You know you love him madly
He ain’t square like Cincinnati
Daddy’s the heppest cat
You can search south
You can hobnob north
Up to Philadelphia on July 4th
But Daddy’s the heppest cat around
You can look high
You can look low
Check the cowboys at the rodeo
But Daddy’s the heppest cat in town
Daddy’s the heppest cat
Daddy’s the heppest cat
Daddy’s the heppest cat you found

Love Springs
By Charles R. Martin
When the love springs
It’s a beautiful thing
‘Cause when the love springs
Va Va Va Voom and Ring-a-Ding!
But love brings its pain
Love tortures your brain
But who wouldn’t do
Anything for love
Anything for love
When the love springs
It’s a party in your heart
And when it’s unsprung
You keep wishing it would start
But love makes me yearn
And love makes me burn
So why should I do
Anything for love
Anything for love
When the love springs
It’s a beautiful thing
‘Cause when the love springs
Va Va Va Voom and Ring-a-Ding!
But love brings its pain
And love brings the rain
But who wouldn’t do
Anything for love
Anything for love
Anything for love

Ambiguous Kiss

Ambiguous Kiss
By Charles R. Martin
I got 13 dollars in my pants
I know 13 different ways to dance
And it was 13 seconds after her first glance
I pulled 13 out and took my chance
I told her, “Yeah, yeah.”
I say , “Yeah, yeah!”
But all I got was ambiguous kiss
Where I said hit
And she said miss
Half her wanted out of this
The other thought it worth the risk
She had a dozen Lucky Strikes to burn
On a dozen dimes made a dozen turns
My baker’s dozen got a slight return
She taught me 12 new terrible ways to yearn
I told her, “Yeah, yeah!”
I say, “Yeah, yeah.”
But all I got was ambiguous kiss
Where I said hit
And she said miss
Half her fancied lovin' bliss
The other sought a quick dismiss

By Charles R. Martin
Look at Stella play….ooh
Watch my Stella play
Everything's OK….ooh
Watch my Stella play
See my Stella run….ooh
Watch my baby run
She's sure having fun….ooh
Watch my Stella run
Whoo-ee that's high cotton
High cotton, high cotton
Good times now won't be forgotten
High cotton now
Hear my Stella purr….ooh
Listen to her purr
Baby wrapped in fur….ooh
Listen to her purr
Whoo-ee that's fish a jumpin'
Fish a jumpin', fish a jumpin'
I recall that that was something.
High cotton now
Whoo-ee that's high cotton
High cotton, high cotton
Good times now won't be forgotten
High cotton now
Time to go to bed, Stella
Rest your little head
Time to go to bed, Stella
Rest your little head
'Night, baby

You Won’t
By Charles R. Martin
Don’t tell me you will
When, in fact, you won’t
Don’t tell me you do
When you really don’t
It’s clear when you’re lyin’
So why bother even tryin’
Don’t tell me you will-il-il-il
When, in fact, you won’t
Don’t tell me it’s hot
When you know it's not
But I gave it my all
In fact, I’m pret-near shot
But I know what you’re thinking
You wished you just kept drinking
Don’t me it’s hot-ah-ah-ot
When, in fact, it’s not
Don’t tell me it’s right
When you know it’s wrong
I guess if there’s one, that’s the point of this song
You think I can’t take the truth?
But that’s why I leave out the vermouth
Don’t tell me you will-il-il-il
When, in fact, you won’t

Shame in This House
By Charles R. Martin
You plot and plan this sordid tryst for many days
But it could go down in a hundred different ways
'Cause every night's got a thousand pairs eyes
You better be ready to tell a thousand different lies
But tell me
How would it feel if there was shame in this house?
'Cause someone shared the finer points with your spouse
You think you sip that happy beer with that shame?
Sucking all your sweet life away
Draining all the joy from your day
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Midafternoon at some interstate motel
Where the cleaning products can't begin to mask the smell
Of many a randy low-rent rendezvous
You better be worried about who's rendezvousing too
And tell me
How would you feel if there was shame in this house?
'Cause it's common knowledge around this town that you're a louse
You think you sip that happy beer with that shame?
Sucking all your sweet life away
Draining all the joy from your day
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

Like You Love Him
By Charles R. Martin
He ain’t gonna love you
Like you’re lovin’ him
You could spend another year
You could spend another 10
Your love burns hot
His love light’s dim
He ain’t gonna love you
Like you love him
Never gonna need you
Like you’re needing him
It’s been so long
Are you really in?
I see you ache
Your smile so thin
Never gonna need you
Like you’re needing him
Stella, he’s not right for you
You want a life he just can’t do
You deserve much more than, "Yeah, sort of"
Find a boy who'll cherish you
And see you as the brightest jewel
You deserve, my darlin’, to be loved
But he ain’t gonna love you
Like you’re lovin’ him
You hold out hope
But know none and slim
The heart's a wheel
It’s sink or swim
He ain’t gonna love you
Like you love him
Never gonna love you
Like you love him

Need To Be Told
By Charles R. Martin
I didn't come for the party, honey
And I don’t need to be sold
I just want to be sure of one thing
I need to be told
I need to be told
I got no time to be cool, now baby
‘Cause I’m about to explode
Lay the cards on the table, Mable
I need to be told
I need to be told
I need to be……
Tell me what you want to do
Tell me what you want to do
I need to hear that from you
Tell me what you want to do
I didn’t come for your sugar, sweetie
And I don’t need to control
I just want to be sure of one thing
I need to be told
I need to be told
I need to be told
I need to be told

Me & Stella
By Charles R. Martin
If me & Stella could walk in the park
Me & Stella might chase an aardvark
Yeah, me & Stella we'd would romp until dark
Dogs better not bark……..Uh-uh
If me & Stella could fly on a plane
If me & Stella could dance in the rain
Yeah, me & Stella on each other's brain
You think we're insane………Uh-uh
Me & Stella, lucky fella
I just want to say, again
Me & Stella
A capella!
Let the fun begin
La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la
If me & Stella could go to the zoo
If me & Stella could get a tattoo
We wish there's nothing that we couldn't do
Shopping for shoes
Renting canoes
Duet debut
Fly to to Peru
Or Kath-a-man-du
Yes, Cat and Man do
Yes, Cat and Man do
Yes, Man and Cat do
Yes, Man and Cat do…….It all

Over To Me (Come On In)
By Charles R. Martin
Come on over, come on Ooh ooh, Quick
Come on over, come on
Over to me
Come on over, come on Ooh ooh, Quick
Come on, come on
Over to me
In the midnight hour
Russian summer bright as day
Come on, come on over
Take your comrade's cares away
Come on, come on over Ooh ooh, Quick
Come on, come on over
Over to me
Come on, come on over Ooh ooh, Quick
Come on, come on over
Over to me
Lonely teardrops only
For the lonely, not today
Come on, come on over
Turn your mouth up, tell me what I say
Come on over, come on Ooh ooh, Quick
Come on over, come on
Over to me
Come on over, come on Ooh ooh, Quick
Come on, come on
Over to me
Come on in to the next revolution
Come on in to the deep blue sea
Come on in to the beautiful valley
Come on in, honey, get yourself free

Best Days
By Charles R. Martin
First time up on water skis
A lake in Tennessee
To get me started Dad got
Down in the water with me
Mom drove the boat and smiled
Sweet summer ‘66
Those were the best days of my life
First time I’m away to stay
New life, college days
Got my schedule, lost it
And found fast friends forever
Still they stand beside me
From fall of ‘71
Those were the best days of my life
Go down Moses
Ain’t nothing you can say
I wrote the tablets
And it was always judgment day
Come on Delilah
Cut me where you will
It’s one day’s journey
And most of it downhill
First one ever reach my heart
Now that's my real re-start
Who saw it taking nearly
Fifty years to find love
To let you truly touch me
There ain’t no doubt about it
These are the best days of my life
These are the best days of my life
These are the best days of my life
So far
