You don't drive a big fast car

You don't look like a movie star

And on your money we won't get far

But baby,.......................... (yeah, yeah)

Complete the 4th line (Title)

Name the singer.

You don't drive a big fast car

You don't look like a movie star

And on your money we won't get far

But baby, you got what it takes (yeah, yeah)

To satisfy (yeah, yeah)

You got what it takes to set my soul on fire

Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-yeah

You got what it takes for me

Now, you don't live in a beautiful place

And you don't dress in the best of taste

And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face

But baby, you got what it takes (yeah, yeah)

To satisfy

You got what it takes to set my soul on fire

Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-yeah

You got what it takes for me

Now when you're near me, ooo-wee

My head goes around and around

And when you kiss me, whoa-yeah

My love comes tumblin' down, you send me

You don't live in a beautiful place

You don't dress in the best of taste

And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face

But baby, you got what it takes (yeah, yeah)

To satisfy (yeah, yeah)

You got what it takes to set my soul on fire

Whoa-oh-oh and whoa-whoa-oh

You got what it takes for me

Now when you're near me, little girl

My head goes around and around

And when you kiss me, oh-yeah

My love comes tumblin' down

You send me

You don't live in a beautiful place

You don't dress in the best of taste

And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face

But baby, you got what it takes (yeah, yeah)

To satisfy (yeah, yeah)

You got what it takes to set my soul on fire

Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-yeah

You got what it takes for me, oh-yeah

You got what it takes

You don't need no money

Baby, you do need a new car

Come on, you know

You got what it takes for me

Little girl, you got what it takes for me

Yes, baby, you got what it takes for me

Oh, yeah

is it dave clark 5 / you've got what it takes ?

try this one my favorite

It's just gone noon

Half past monsoon

On the banks of the river Nile

Here comes the boat

Only half-afloat

Oarsman grins a toothless smile

Only just one more

To this desolate shore

Last boat along the river Nile

Doesn't seem to care

No more wind in his hair

As he reaches his last half mile

The oar snaps in his hand

Before he reaches dry land

But the sound doesn't deafen his smile

Just pokes at wet sand

With an oar in his hand

Floats off down the river Nile

Floats off down the river Nile

B) Sorry Caz :o :D

B) There has been a number of artists that have recorded this song over the years and i think the original singer was Mary Johnson, R'n'B singer, don't know the year. Theres always another corner to turn.. :rolleyes:

B) I'm hoping the answer you are seeking is the DAVE CLARK FIVE, or it could be but i doubt it being SHOWADDYWADDY in 1977 or even JOHNNY KIDD & THE PIRATES ? Yes/No ?

:angry: Radfordred beat me to it dammmm :angry:

:rolleyes: Come to think about it being a Moderator i could have deleted his reply :rolleyes:

B) Who sang this then A B)

Happy talk

keep talkin' happy talk

Talk about things you'd like to do.

You gotta have a dream

if you don't have a dream

How you gonna have a dream come true?

Talk about a moon floatin' in the sky

Lookin' like a lily on a lake;

Talk about a bird learnin' how to fly

Makin' all the music he can make.

Happy talk

keep talkin' happy talk

. . .

Let's talk about a star lookin' like a toy

Peekin' through the branches of a tree;

Talk about a girl

talk about a boy

Countin' all the ripples on the sea.

Happy talk

keep talkin' happy talk

. . .

Talk about a boy sayin' to the girl:

Golly, Baby ! I'm a lucky cuss !

Talk about a girl sayin' to the boy:

'You and me are lucky to be us !"

Happy talk

keep talkin' happy talk

. . .

If you don't talk happy and you never have a dream

Then you'll never have a dream come true !

B) You say right Radfordred, It was a hit for him in 3/07/1982 B) The trouble is that with a lot of songs now days they have been covered by other artists, and it's hard to find a song that hasn't :( :D Am i right with yours MADNESS :D

:D I think it was in the musical South pacific B)

BiP gets it.

You should all know my taste in music by now from my Original

Musical education. The Santa Fe' :D

I remember this tune being played as I first set foot in the Fe' in 1968.

Try this one.

She said I'm home on shore leave

Though in truth we were at sea

So I took her by the looking glass

And forced her to agree

Saying you must be the mermaid

Who took Neptune for a ride

But she smiled at me so sadly

That my anger straightway died.
