JAY AND THE AMERICANS- " COME A LITTLE BIT CLOSER "

WENT TO #3 IN 1964. LYRICS: In a little café just the other side of the border
She was just sitting there givin' me looks that made my mouth water
So I started walking her way
She belonged to that man, José
And I knew, yes I knew I should leave
When I heard her say, yeah

Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer
I'm all alone
And the night is so long

So we started to dance
In my arms, she felt so inviting
That I just couldn't resist
Just one little kiss so exciting
Then I heard the guitar player say
"Vamoose, José's on his way"
Then I knew, yes I knew I should run
But then I heard her say, yeah

Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer
I'm all alone
And the night is so long

------ instrumental break ------

Then the music stopped
When I looked the café was empty
Then I heard José say
"Man you know you're in trouble plenty"
So I dropped my drink from my hand
And through the window I ran
And as I rode away
I could hear her say to Joscute;, yeah

Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer
I'm all alone
And the night is so long

La la-la-la la-la
La la-la-la la-la
Ho ho la-la
La la la-la

One of my favorite all time songs. I was very lucky to have spent my years from 9-19 living on a lake. I got to hear every great song from 1959 till 1968 from the great beach across the lake. All the great old beach resorts seem to be gone and music has taken a turn for the worse also. I thank everyone that posts this great music on Youtube. Thank you, Thank you.

Been looking for this song for awhile! Thanks for uploading it! This is one of my favorite songs and my dad raised me on these songs and they are a lot better than the music today.

Great music never goes out of style, it just get less airtime. Jay and the Americans were a real class act in their day. Jay Black had a gift that is still holding up ok. In his prime he could realy belt out the songs. I am 46 and started listening to them in the late 80's. What a great band, one of the best in my opinion. thanks for posting!
