The Oak Ridge Boys – Elvira lyrics
[Chorus]
Elvira, Elvira
My heart’s on fire, for Elvira
[Verse 1]
Eyes that look like heaven, lips like cherry wine
That girl can sure enough make my little light shine
I get a funny feeling, up and down my spine
Cause I know that my Elvira’s mine
So I’m singin’
[Chorus]
Elvira, Elvira
My heart’s on fire, for Elvira
[Bridge]
Giddy up, oom poppa, omm poppa, mow mow
Giddy up, oom poppa, omm poppa, mow mow, heigh-ho Silver, away
[Verse 2]
Tonight I’m gonna meet her, at the Hungry House Cafe
And I’m gonna give her all the love I can, yes I am
She’s gonna jump and holler, cause I’ve saved up my last two dollars
We’re gonna search and find that preacher man
And I’m singin’
[Chorus]
Elvira, Elvira
My heart’s on fire, for Elvira
[Bridge]
Giddy up, oom poppa, omm poppa, mow mow
Giddy up, oom poppa, omm poppa, mow mow, heigh-ho Silver, away
[Chorus]
Elvira, Elvira
My heart’s on fire, for Elvira
[Bridge]
Giddy up, oom poppa, omm poppa, mow mow
Giddy up, oom poppa, omm poppa, mow mow, heigh-ho Silver, away
[Chorus]
Elvira, Elvira
My heart’s on fire, for Elvira
[Bridge]
Giddy up, oom poppa, omm poppa, mow mow
Giddy up, oom poppa, omm poppa, mow mow, heigh-ho Silver, away
[Chorus]
Elvira, Elvira
My heart’s on fire, for Elvira

George Strait Ocean Front Property Lyrics
If you leave me, I won't miss you,
And I won't ever take you back.
Girl, your mem'ry won't ever haunt me
'Cause I don't love you, and now if you'll buy that.
I got some ocean front property in Arizona.
From my front porch you can see the sea.
I got some ocean front property in Arizona.
If you'll buy that, I'll throw the golden gate in free.
I don't worship the ground you walk on.
I never have and that's a fact.
I won't follow or try to find you
'Cause I don't love you, and now if you'll buy that.
Yeah, if you'll buy that I'll throw the golden gate in free.

Ronnie Milsap - (There's) No Gettin' Over Me Lyrics
Well you can walk out on me tonight
If you think that it ain't feeling right
But darling
There's ain't no getting over me
Well you can say that you need to be free
But there ain't no place that I won't be
Sweet darling bass run up
There ain't no getting over me
I'll be the bill you forgot to pay bass run up
I'll be the dream that keeps you awake
I'll be the song on the radio
I'll be the reason that you tell the boys no
Don't you know
You can tell everyone that we're through
You might even believe it too
But darling
There's ain't no getting over me
Sweet darling lead, bass run up
There ain't no getting over me
I'll be the face that you see in the crowd
I'll be the times that you cry out loud
I'll be the smile when there's no one around
I'll be the book that you just can't put down
So you can walk out on me tonight
If you think that it ain't feeling right
But darling
There's ain't no getting over me
You'll see sweet darling
There's ain't no getting over me
No no no no No Darling
There ain't no getting over me
Oh
No darling
There ain't no getting over me
Oh darling
There ain't no getting over me
