Little Willy

I picked up a gem of a CD collection this past weekend for a couple bucks. It's four discs of 70's hits. A lot of them are from artists I'm not really familiar with, but I knew the songs. Now I'm realizing that I have some research to do. There have been a couple songs that I was exstatic to hear.....Like "Chevy Van." That's by an artist named Sammy Johns. He's definitely on the list to check out. There's a few good songs by the Chi-lites, Billy Preston, and The Sweet. Thanks to The Sweet, I have had "Little Willy" stuck in my head for days now. So, I'm hoping that reading this, it will get stuck in one of your heads and get out of mine.........Have fun!!!!!


LITTLE WILLY
North side , east side
Little Willy, Willy wears the crown, he's the king around town
Dancing, glancing
Willy drives them silly with his star shoe shimmy shuffle down


Way past one, and feeling allright
'Cos with little Willy round they can last all night
Hey down, stay down, stay down down
'Cos little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy round Willy won't go,
try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home

Up town, down town
Little Willy, Willy drives them wild with his run-around style

Inside, outside
Willy sends them silly with his star-shine shimmy shuffle smile
Mama done chase Willy down through the hall
But laugh, Willy laugh, he don't care at all
Hey down, stay down, stay down, down

'Cos little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy round Willy won't go,
try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home

Little Willy, Willy won't
Willy won't, Willy won't
Little Willy, Willy won't
Willy won't, Willy won't
Little Willy, Willy won't
Willy won't, Willy won't
Little Willy, Willy won't
Willy won't, Willy won't

Little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy round Willy won't go,
try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home

Little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy round Willy won't go,
try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home

I think I have that 45!!! I was probably around 10 yrs old when that was popular! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I really loved that song back in the day. Great blast from the past.

Can you burn CDs? I'd love to have a copy of those!!

Ok Alligal, just did some diggin to see if I could find that 45. Here's what I found. We've got The Best of Sweet - I think it must have been one of Rich's albums.

Do you remember "Love is like Oxygen", "Ballroom Bliss" and "Fox on the Run". Yep, that's them! I loved all those songs!

Now I've got to check out Itunes maybe they have em too!

B has maybe 5 70's cd's. I'll ask Cinda if she'll burn them for you. All different songs that take me back when I was 5.

I can't burn CD's, but I can give them to Sissy or someone to burn for you.

I love The Sweet!!! I didn't know it until I got these CD's...but I love them!!!
