The Walker Bros. sing Leiber and Stoller





Where's the Girl

Written by Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller


Lead vocal: Scott


Where's the girl,
The canary stopped singing the moment she walked out the door
Where's the girl,
The flowers are dying 'cos nobody cares any more
The canary and the poor lonely flowers miss her so very much
You can tell this apartment and I are in need of a woman's touch

On the floor,
There is one nylon stocking and I'm a leaving it there where it lies
Oh who'd have thought,
That one nylon stocking could ever bring tears to these eyes
Where's the girl who used to fix me my coffee and butter up my toast
Lord how I miss the coffee taste of her kiss
But lord what I miss the most is the girl….

Here's a dresser drawer that's filled with old hairpins,
lipstick and Lord knows what
And here's a photograph taken last summer and a bottle of perfume bought
But where's the girl…. Where's the girl….
Where's the girl… Oh I need the girl…





Take It Like a Man

Written by Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller


Lead vocal: John


Take it like a man, don't cry, don't cry.
Take lit like a man, hold your head up high.
Sure she broke your heart, when she said goodbye,
But you, you gotta take it like a man.

Get up on your feet, it's way past dawn.
Get up on your feet, come one, come one.
Everything's the same, except she's gone,
But you, you gotta take it like a man.

Your world will be fine, just don't think about her.
Sun's gonna shine with or without her.
It's only gonna hurt for just a little while.
Go on change your shirt and put on a smile.
Don't say that you can't, 'cause you can, you can,
Come on buddy, take it like a man
Oh come on, come on, take it like a man.
Hold you head up, my don't stand there and cry.
You gotta be a man my friend, you understand
