500 songs that made the all-time hit parade

Ok kiddies back in the day, before the Internet, the only way to know the correct lyrics to any song was to buy the sheet music. Some albums included lyrics in the liner notes, but not many. That's why people thought Johnny Rivers' *Secret Agent Man* was really about a *Secret Asian Man.*

This 1964 book was an effort to collect lyrics for many new and old songs. No music is included, just words. One problem however: most of the songs represented were already 50 years old when the book came out. However, if you are a student of very old songs this baby is for you.
