Brother LoveC/P: Neil Diamond

Mmmmm, August night

And the leaves hangin downAnd the grass on the ground

Smellin sweet

Move up the road

To the outside of town

And the sound of that goodGospel beat.

Sits a ragged tentWhere there aint no trees

And that gospel groove

Tellin you and me its

Chorus:Love Brother Love say Brother Loves

Traveling salvation show.Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies

cause everyone goes

cause everyone knowsBrother Love shows

The room gets suddenly stillAnd when youd almost bet

You could hear yourself sweatHe walks in.

Eyes black as coal

And when he lifts his faceEvery ear in the place

Is on him.

Starting soft and slow

Like a small earthquake

And when he lets go

Half the valley shakes, its

(chorus)

(hallelujah chorus w/sermon)

Take my hand in yours,

Walk with me this day

In my heart I knowI will never stray

Halle-halle, Halle-Halle,HALLE-HALLE, HALLE-HALLE

(chorus 2x)

SummertimeC: George Gershwin (m); DuBose Heyward (l)

From Porgy and Bess

Summertime and the livin is easy.The fish are jumpin and the cotton is high.

Your daddys rich

and you mamas good lookin.So hush little baby, dont you cry.

One of these mornings

Youre gonna rise up singin.Youll spread your wings

And take to the sky.

But til that morninThere aint nothin can harm you

Not with mama and daddy standin by

Summertime and the livin is easy.

The fish are jumpin and the cotton is high.

Your daddys richand you mamas good lookin.

So hush little baby, dont you cry.

Morning BluesC: ?P: The Correctones (Ithaca NY jug band, 1970s)

Ive been in business, been in love

Used to fly high, like a turtledove.

I had the blues, many a time.

Its just another womanOn a poor boys mind,

Chorus:I got the morning blues

Feelin so bad

Oh mama come and kiss mebout the worst I ever had.

I woke up this morning

Had a pain in my head,

So I crawled right back into bed.The morning blues made me feel so bad

bout the worst old feelin that I ever had,

(chorus)

The sun was still shining, I couldnt get up.

I guess Ill never get outta this rut.

Sometimes I chew tobacco,Sometimes I cool my heels,

Sometimes I get so lonesome

Yes, you know just how I feel,

(chorus)

A nickels worth of grease, a dimes worth of lardI would buy a hog, but the times is hard.

There aint no use in my workin too hard

cause I can live off the chickensin my neighbors yard,

(chorus)

Ive been in business, been in love

Used to fly high, like a turtledove.

I had the blues, many a time.Its just another woman

On a poor boys mind,

(chorus)

Helplessly HopingC: Stephen StillsP: Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young

Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearby

Awaiting a word.

Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit, he runsWishing he could fly,

Only to trip at the sound of good-bye.

Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and

wonders at the empty place inside.Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams, he

worries, did he hear a good-bye

Or even a hello.

Chorus:

They are one personThey are two aloneThey are three together

They are for each other

Stand by the stairway youll see something certain

to tell you confusion has its cost.

Love isnt lying its loose in a lady who lingerssaying she is lost

and choking on hello.

(chorus)

Grapefruit In Your LifeC/P: Neal Gladstone

The world can be a bitter place

When troubles on your stair.But keep one thing in mind my friend

And you need not despair.

When theres a grapefruit in you life,

Every morning is a treasure.

When you stumble from your bed,Your eyes are slits of red,

And your tongue tastes like a tire.

When you open up the door

Of your frost-free Kelvinator,

Theres a gleaming yellow sphere

Right behind the beer

Cast aside your cares and strife.Theres a grapefruit in your life.

When theres a grapefruit on your plate,

You tremble with anticipation,

When a perfect golden jewel,Succulent and cool,

Wakens to your fond caress.

When you pierce the blushing skinJuices flow in all directions.

Slice a tender ruby wedgeWith your cool serrated edgeBow your head and celebrate,

Theres a grapefruit on you plate.

I have known lifes greatest pleasures;

Rembrandt, Keats, and Mahler.

But, how can Keats compete with theseAt three pounds for a dollar?

When theres a grapefruit in your mouth,

You can scarce believe youre mortal,And every tender bite you chew

Spreads a sweet and fruity goo

Over every tooth and gum (tooth and gum)

And your taste buds burst with song

(ahh, ahhhh, ahh)in a fructose exaltation.

Let us bid a fond salute

to the noble citrus fruit.Thank your grocer, thank the south

(thank the south)Theres a grapefruit in your mouth

(ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahhhhh)

Thats What You Get ForLoving Me

C: Gordon LightfootP: Elvis Presley; Peter, Paul and Mary

Thats what you get for loving me.

Thats what you get for loving me.Everything you have is gone as you can see.


I aint the kind to hang aroundWith any new love that Ive found.

Movin is my stock and trade, Im movin on.

I wont think of you when Im gone.

Now dont you shed a tear for me,Im not the love you thought Id be.Ive had a hundred more like you,

So dont be blue.

Ill have a thousand fore Im through.

Now there you go, youre cryin again.

Now there you go, youre cryin again.

But then someday when your poor heartIs on the mend,

I just might pass this way again.

And thats what you get for loving me.


Everything you have is gone as you can see.Thats what you get for loving me.

Scotsmans KiltC: Mike CrossP: Brian Bowers

Well, a Scotsman clad in kilt

left the bar one evening fair.

One could tell by the way he walked

that hed drunk more than his share.He fumbled round until he could

no longer keep his feet,

then he stumbled up onto the grassto sleep beside the street.

Chorus:Ring ding diddle-iddle eye dee oh

Ring dye diddley eye oh

He stumbled up onto the grass

to sleep beside the street.

About this time two young and lovely girlsjust happened by.

One says to the other with a twinkle in her eye.

See yon sleeping Scotsman,so strong and handsome built,

I wonder if its true what they dont wear

beneath their kilts.

(chorus)

Ring dingRing dyeI wonder

They crept up on that sleeping Scotsmanquiet as could be,

lifted up his kilt about an inch

so they could see.And there behold for them to view

beneath his Scottish skirt

was nothing more than God had graced him with

upon his birth.

(chorus)

RingRing

Was

They marveled for a moment then one said

We must be gone.Lets leave a present for our friend

before we move along.

As a gift they left a blue silk ribbontied into a bow

around the bonny starthe Scots kilt did lift and show.

(chorus)

Well, the Scotsman woke to natures calland stumbled toward the trees.

Behind a bush he lifts his kilt

and gawks at what he sees.And in a startled voice he says to

whats before his eyes,

Ah, lad I dont know where ya been,but I see ya won first prize!

Put Another Log On TheFire

C: Shel Silverstein

P: The Outlaws; Mac Davis

Put another log on the fire.Cook me up some bacon and some beans.

Go out to the car and change the tire.

Wash my socks and sew my old blue jeans.Fill my pipe and then go fetch my slippers.

Boil me up another pot of tea.

Put another log on the fire, babe,then come and tell me why youre leavin me.

Dont I let you wash the car on Sundays?

Dont I tell you when youre getting fat?Aint I gonna take you fishing with me someday

Well, a man cant love a woman more than that.

Aint I always nice to your kid sister?Dont I take her drivin every night?

So sit down at my feet,

cause I like it when youre sweet,and you know that it aint feminine to fight.

So Put another log on the fire.Cook me up some bacon and some beans.

Go out to the car

and jack it up and change the tire.

Wash my socks and

sew my old blue jeans (little darlin)You can fill my pipe and

then go fetch my slippers.Boil me up another pot of tea.

Put another log on the fire, babe,

then come and tell me why youre leavin me.

Four Wet PigsC: Greg Brown?P: Brian Bowers

Heres a little song about four wet pigs,

Two of em little and two of em big,

Two of em little and two of em big,They danced all night at the Pig Town Jig.

Two of em little and two of em big,They danced all night at the Pig Town Jig.

The two that were little were just half grown.The two that were big were big as a barn.

Big as a barn, tall as a tree,

Ship em on down to the factory.

Big as a barn, tall as a tree,Ship em on down to the factory.

Cut em into pork chops, slice em into ham,Grind em into sausage, squeeze em into Spam,

Put their piggy eyes out in the rain,

Pickle their feet and scramble their brains.Put their piggy eyes out in the rain,

Pickle their feet and scramble their brains.

Heres a little song about two wet pigs,leanin on the slop trough smokin their cigs,

hopin to God that they never get big.

They danced all night at the Pig Town Jig.Hopin to God that they never get big.

They danced all night at the Pig Town Jig.

Golden VanityTraditionalearliest version 1635, about Sir Walter RaleighP: Peter, Paul and Mary; The Denison Family

There was a ship sailed from the North Country.

The name of the ship was the Golden Vanity.

And they feared she might be taken

by the Turkish enemythat sailed upon the Lowland

Lowland, Lowland,

That sailed upon the Lowland Sea.

Then up there sprang a little cabin boy.

He said to the captain,What would you give to me

if I swim alongside of the Turkish enemy

and sink her in the Lowland

Lowland, Lowland,

And sink her in the Lowland Sea?

Oh, I will you give you silverand I will give you gold.

My only daughter your bride for to be.

If you swim alongside of the Turkish enemyand sink her in the Lowland

Lowland, Lowland,

And sink her in the Lowland Sea.

So the boy made him ready,

and oer the side sprang he.He swam alongside of the Turkish enemy,and with his auger sharp,

in her side he bore holes three,

and sank her in the LowlandLowland, Lowland,

And sank her in the Lowland Sea.

Then the boy turned round,

and back again swam he.

He called up to the captain of the Golden Vanity

But the captain would not heed,for his promise he would need.

He left him in the Lowland

Lowland, Lowland,He left him in the Lowland Sea.

So the boy swam round

til he came to the port side

He looked up at his messmatesand bitterly he cried,

O messmates take me up

for Im drifting with the tide,and sinking in the Lowland

Lowland, Lowland,And sinking in the Lowland Sea.

So his messmates took him up

But on the deck he died

They sewed him in his hammockwhich was so deep and wide,

and they lowered him overboard

But hes drifted with the tideand sank beneath the Lowland

Lowland, Lowland,

And sank beneath the Lowland Sea.

Please Dont Bury MeC/P: John Prine

I woke up this morning, put on my slippers,

Walked in the kitchen, and died.And oh, what a feeling

as my soul went through the ceiling,

And on up into heaven I did ride

And when I got there they did say

John, it happened this-a-way:you slipped upon the floor and hit your head.

And all the angels say

just before you passed away,these were the very last words that you said.

Chorus:

Please dont bury me

down in that cold cold ground.Id rather have em cut me up

and pass me all around.Blow my brain in a hurricane

and the blind can have my eyes.

The deaf can take both of my earsIf they dont mind the size.

Give my stomach to Milwaukee

if they run out of beerPut my socks in a cedar box,

just get em outta here.

Venus de Milo can have my arms.

Look out, I got your nose.

Sell my heart to the junk man,and give my love to Rose

(chorus)

Give my feet to the footloose,

careless fancy free.

Send my knees to the needyDont pull that stuff on me

Hand me down my walking cane,Its a sin to tell a lie.

Send my mouth way down south

And kiss my ass goodbye.

(chorus)

Pack Up Your SorrowsC: Richard FarinaP: Judy Collins; Joan Baez and Mimi Farina (Joan Baez sister)

No use crying, talking to a stranger,

naming the sorrows youve seen.

Too many bad times, just too many sad times,and nobody knows what you mean.

Chorus:

If somehow you could pack up your sorrows,

and give them all to me,

you would lose themand I know how to use them.

Give them all to me.

No use rambling, walking by that roadside,

seeking a satisfied mind.Too many highways, just too many bywaysand nobodys walking behind.

(chorus)

No use rambling, walking in that shadow,

trailing a wandering star.

No one beside you, theres no one to guide youand nobody knows where you are.

(chorus)

Illegal SmileC/P: John Prine

I woke up this morning,

things were looking badSeems like total silence

And won.

It was twelve oclock before I realized I was havingno fun.

Ah, but fortunately I have the key

to escape reality

Chorus:

And you may see me tonight

with an illegal smile.

It dont cost very much but it lasts a long whileWont you please tell The Man

I didnt kill anyone.No, Im just trying to have me some fun.

Seems like the bottom

is the only place Ive been.

Chased a rainbow down a one-way street,

Dead endAnd all my friends turned out to be insurancesalesmen.


to escape reality

(chorus)

Crawled into my closet with all my overalls

trying to get away from

all the ears within my walls.

Dreamed the police heard everything I thought

What then?

I went to court but the judges name wasHoffman.


to escape reality

If I Needed YouC: Townes Van ZandtP: Emmy Lou Harris

Chorus:

If I needed you, would you come to me

Would you come to me for to ease my pain?If you needed me, I would come to you,

I would swim the sea for to ease your pain.

Now the nights forlorn,and the mornings warm,

and the mornings born with the lights of love.

And youll miss sunrise

if you close your eyes,and that would break my heart in two.

(chorus)

Babys with me now

since I showed her howto lay her lily hand in mine.

Who could ill agree

shes a sight to see.

A treasure for the poor to find.

My wife hollers at me and my kids are all freaks

Every side I get up on is the wrong side of bed.

If it werent so expensive Id wish I were dead.Signed, Unhappy

Unhappy, Unhappy, you have no complaint.

You are what you are

But my stomach it tells me to write you instead.Signed, Noise Maker

(chorus, w/noise maker)

and here pants to her knees.

Signed, Dear Abby

Green Back DollarC/P: Hoyt AxtonP: The Kingston Trio

Some people say Im a no-account,

others say Im no good.

Im just a natural born traveling manDoing what I think I should

Doing what I think I should.

Chorus:

And I dont give a damn

about a green back dollar,Spend it fast as I can.

For a wailing song and a good guitar

are the only things that I understand,The only things that I understand.

When I was a little baby

my mama said, Hey son.

Travel where you will and grow to be a man,Sing what must be sung,

Sing what must be sung.

(chorus)

Now that I am a grown man

I travel here and there.Ive learned that a bottle of brandy and a song

are the only ones who ever care,

The only ones who ever care.

Bobby McGeeC/P: Kris KristoffersonP: Roger Miller; Grateful Dead; Janis Joplin

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headed for the train.

I was feeling nearly faded as my jeans.

Bobby thumbed a diesel down

just before it rained.Rode us all the way to New Orleans.

I pulled my harpoon

out of my dirty red bandana.I was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues.

With the windshield wipers slapping time

I was holding Bobbys hand in mine.We sang up every song that driver knew.

Chorus:

Freedoms just another word

for nothing left to lose.Nothing aint worth nothing, but its free.

Feeling good was easy, Lord,when Bobby sang the blues.

Feeling good was good enough for me.

Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

From the coal mines of Kentuckyto the California sun,

Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.

Standing right beside me, Lord,through everything we done,and every night she kept me from the cold.

Somewhere near Salinas, I let her slip away,searching for the home I hoped shed find.

Id give up all my tomorrows

for a single yesterday,holding Bobbys body close to mine.

(chorus)

Catch The WindC: DonovanP: Donovan; Joan Baez

In the chilly hours and minutes

of uncertainty,

I long to bein the warm hold of your loving mind.

To feel you all around me,and to take your hand

along the sand.

Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

When sundown fills the sky,

I want to hide awhile

behind your smile,and everywhere I look, your eyes I find.

Standing in your heartis where I want to be,I long to be.


When rain has hung the leaves with tears,

I want you near

to kill my fears,

and help me to leave all my blues behind.For me to love you now,

would be the sweetest thing,

twould make me sing.Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

Penny In My RectumC/P: Bob (Robert Hampton) Wilson

Chorus:

I got a penny in my rectum

and my mothers fifty-two.

Theres a kumquat in my bathtubthat reminds me so of you.

Your yellow eyes they dont run,your dentures never click.

Your breath smells like bananas,

and I guess youre pretty near slick.

When I was just a young lad, I had a horny toad.

I loved him like a brother,til he got squashed on the road.

Now I have you, baby, and like my little frog,I love you like a brother,and I treat you like my dog.

(chorus)

When I am sad and lonely,

and sitting on the head,

Well, cant you see my tummy rolls

In My LifeC/P: The Beatles

There are places I remember

all my life, though some have changed.Some forever, not for better,some have gone, and some remain.

All these places have their momentswith lovers and friends, I still can recall.

Some are dead and some are living;

In my life, Ive loved them all.

But of all these friends and lovers,

there is no one compares with you,and these memories lose their meaning

when I think of love as something new.

Though I know Ill never lose affection

for people and things that went before,

I know Ill often stop and think about them.

In my life, I love you more.

In my life, I love you more.

House Of The Rising SunTraditionaloriginal was from a womans viewpointP: Eric Burton and The Animals

There is a house in New Orleans

they call the Rising Sun.

And its been the ruin of many a poor boyand God, I know Im one.

My mother was a tailor.

She sewed my new blue jeans.

My father was a gambling mandown in New Orleans.

Now the only thing a gambler needs

is a suitcase and a trunk.And the only time he is satisfied

is when hes on a drunk.

Now mothers tell your children

not to do what I have done.

Dont spend your lives in sin and miseryin the house of the Rising Sun.

One foot on the platform,

the other foot on the train.Im going back to New Orleans

to wear that ball and chain.

There is a house in New Orleans

they call the Rising Sun

And its been the ruin of many a poor boyand God, I know Im one.

Tennessee StudC: Jimmie DriftwoodP: Johnny Cash; Doc Watson

Along about 1825,

I left Tennessee very much alive.

And I never wouldve got

through the Arkansas mudIf I hadnt been riding the Tennessee Stud.

I had me some trouble with my sweethearts pa;One of her brothers was a bad outlaw.

I sent her a letter by my Uncle Fudd

and I rode away on the Tennessee Stud.

Chorus:

The Tennessee Stud was long and lean,

the color of the sun and his eyes were green.

He had the nerve and he had the bloodand there never was a horse

like the Tennessee Stud.

We drifted on down into no mans land.We crossed that river called the Rio Grande.

I raced my horse with a Spaniards foal

til I won me a skin full of silver and gold.

Me and the gambler, we couldnt agree.

We got in a fight over Tennessee.We jerked our guns and he fell with a thud,and I rode away on the Tennessee Stud.

(chorus)

I got just as lonesome as a man can be,

dreaming of my girl in Tennessee.The Tennessee Studs green eyes turned blue

cause he was dreaming of a sweetheart too.

We rode right back across Arkansas.I whupped her brother and I whupped her pa.

When I found that girl with the golden hair,

she was riding the Tennessee Mare.

(chorus)

Stirrup to stirrup and side by sidewe crossed the mountains and the valleys wide.

We came to Big Muddy and we forded the flood

on the Tennessee Mare and the Tennessee Stud.

Theres a little baby on the cabin floor,a little horse colt playing round the door.

I love that girl with the golden hair, and theTennessee Stud loves the Tennessee Mare.

(chorus)

Leaves That Are GreenC: Paul SimonP: Simon and Garfunkle

I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song.

Im twenty-two now but I wont be for long.Time hurries on,

and the leaves that are green turn to brown

and they wither with the wind

and they crumble in your hand.

Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl.

I held her close but she faded in the night,like a poem I meant to write,


and they wither with the windand they crumble in your hand.

I threw a pebble in a brookand watched the ripples run away,

and they never made a sound


and they wither with the wind

and they crumble in your hand.

Hello, hello, hello, hello.Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye,

And thats all that there is

and the leaves that are green turn to brown.

Home Grown TomatoesC/P: Guy Clark

Aint nothing in the world that I like better than

bacon, lettuce, and home grown tomatoes.

Up in the morning, out in the garden,

get you a ripe one, dont get a hardn.

Plant em in the spring, eat em all summer.All winter without em is a culinary bummer.

I forget all about sweating and diggin

when Im out in the garden

and I get me a biggun.

Chorus:

Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes.What would life be

without home grown tomatoes?Only two things that money cant buyand thats true love and home grown tomatoes.

Now you can go out to eat, and thats for sure,

but theres nothing that

a home grown tomato wont cure.

Put em in a salad, put em in a stew,you can make your very own tomato juice.

You can eat em with eggs,you can eat em with gravy.

Eat with beans, pinto or navy.

Put em on the side, put em in the middlePut a home grown tomato on a hotcake griddle.

(chorus)

If I could change this life I lead,

Id be Johnny Tomatoseed,

cause I know what this country needs.

Its homegrown tomatoes in every yard you see.

When I die dont bury mein a box in a cemetery.

Out in the garden would be much better

so I can keep pushing up home grown tomatoes

(chorus 2x)

No salt. No fat, and less than that

(its oat. its oat. so real, so real)

Turgid slurry, pale and thick,

lays in your stomach like a brick.Thats what life is all about;

Fills you up and cleans you out.

Each glob you scrape across your plate

Exquisitely congeals.(exquisitely. deliciously.

in a wonder of. viscosity)

Enfolds your spoon in a glue cocoon

(in a glue co, glue cocoon)Its oatmeal.

(its oat. its oat. so real, so real)

Build a castle on a hill,

Raisin soldiers line the bridge.Here comes the Queen!

O sacred grain, I cant explainthe strength of your appeal.

Until I die, I will rely (he will re, will rely)

Teach Your ChildrenC: Graham NashP: Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young

You who are on the road must have a code

that you can live by,

and so become yourself because the pastis just a goodbye.

Teach you children well. Their fathers hell

did slowly go by,

and feed them on your dreams,the one they picks the one youll know by.

Dont you ever ask them why.

If they told you, you would cry.

So just look at them and sigh,and know they love you.

And you, of tender years, cant know the fears(and new years will you care, then youll see)

that your elders grew by,

(who must be free to)and so please help them with your youth.

(teach you children. youll believe em)

They seek the truth before they can die.

(make a world that we can live in)

Teach your parents well. Their childrens hell

will slowly go by,and feed them on your dreams,

the one they picks the one youll know by.

Dont you ever ask them why.If they told you, you would cry.

So just look at them and sigh,

and know they love you.

Frozen LoggerC: James StevensP: Cisco Houston, The Weavers; Priscilla Herdman

As I sat down one evening in a small cafa forty year old waitress

to me these words did say:

I see you are a logger,and not just a common bum.

For nobody but a logger

stirs his coffee with his thumb.

My lover was a logger;

theres none like him today.If you poured whiskey on it,

hed eat a bale of hay.

He never shaved the whiskers

from off of his horny hide;

he drove them in with a hammerand bit them off inside.

My lover came to see me on one freezing day.

He held me in a fond embrace

which broke three vertebrae.He kissed me when we parted

so hard that it broke my jaw

and I could not speak to tell him

he forgot his Mackinaw.

I saw my lover leaving,sauntering through the snow,going bravely homeward at forty-eight below.

Oh the weather it tried to freeze him,

it tried its level best.At a hundred degrees below zero,

he buttoned up his vest.

Well, it froze clear through to China,

and it froze to the stars above.

At a thousand degrees below zero,

it froze my logger love.They tried in vain to thaw him,

and if you believe me sir,

they carved him into axe bladesto cut the Douglas Fir.

And so I lost my lover

and to this caf Ive comeand here I wait til someone

stirs his coffee with his thumb.

All I Have To Do Is DreamC: Boudleaux Bryant

P: Everly Brothers

Dream. Dream dream dream.Dream. Dream dream dream

When I want you in my arms

When I want you and all your charms

Whenever I want you all I have to dois dream. Dream dream dream

When I feel blue in the nightand I need you to hold me tight

Whenever I want you all I have to do

is dream.

I can make you mine,

taste your lips of wine,

anytime, night or day.Only trouble is, gee whiz,

Im dreaming my life away

I need you so that I could die

I love you so, and that is why

whenever I want you all I have to dois dream. Dream dream dream

Dream. Dream dream dream

Aint MisbehavinC: Fats Waller and Harry Brooks (m); Andy Razaf (l)P: Fats Waller; Louis Armstrong; Ella Fitzgerald

No one to walk with, all by myself.No one to talk with, but Im happy on the shelf.

Aint misbehavin; Im saving my love for you.

I know for certain the one I love.

Im through with flirtin;

its you that Im thinking of.Aint misbehavin; Im saving my love for you.

Like Jack Horner in the corner,dont go nowhere. What do I care?

Your kisses are worth waiting for, believe me.

I dont stay out late, dont care to go.

Punkys DilemmaC:P: Crosby, Stills and Nash

I wish I was a Kelloggs cornflake

floating in a bowl, making movies.Relaxing awhile, living in style.Talking to a raisin who occasionally plays L.A.

Casually glancing at his toupee.

I wish I was an English muffinabout to make the most out of a toaster.

Id ease myself down, coming up brown.

I prefer boysenberrymore than any ordinary jam.

Im a Citizens for Boysenberry Jam fan.

If I was a first lieutenant

would you put my picture on the piano?

To Mary Jane, best wishes MarvinOld Roger draft dodger

sneaking out the basement door.

Everybody knows what hes

tippy-toeing down there for.

If I FellC/P: The Beatles

If I fell in love with you,

would you promise to be trueand help me understand?

Cause Ive been in love beforeand I found that love was more

than just holding hands.

If I give my heart to you, I must be sure

from the very start that youwould love me more than her.

If I trust in you, oh please,dont run and hide.

If I love you too, oh please,

dont hurt my pride like hercause I couldnt stand the pain,

and I would be sad if our new love was in vain.

So I hope you see that Iwould love to love you,

and that she will cry

when she learns we are twocause I couldnt stand the pain,

and I would be sad if our new love was in vain.

So I hope you see that Iwould love to love you,

and that she will cry

when she learns we are two.If I fell in love with you.

Youre So SweetC/P: Neil Diamond

Chorus:

Youre so sweet,horseflies keep hangin around your face.

Kentucky moonshine

could never take your place,and your eyes give me goosebumps

down to my toes.

I feel like the only rooster in the henhouse,And I guess it shows.

MaryLou Janewhat a fine name.You aint nothing like all of them gals

up in Detroit City.

Front teeth missin, thats fine for kissin.

Youre as loyal as my dog Sam

and twice as pretty.

(chorus)

I cant forget how we first met.

It was bull wrestling timeat the county fair rodeo.

Oh how I cried when you took first prize.

Youd just look them critters in the eyes

and down theyd go.

(chorus)

Lindy LouTraditional

When its dark and everything is still

and the moon comes creeping oer the hill,Ill be waiting patiently for you.

For I love you true, yes indeed I do.

My honey come out tonightamong the Everglades.

See the moon, see how she promenades.

Youre the queen of all my dusky maids

my little Lindy, Lindy Lou (my Lindy Lou){repeat, staccato & pianissimo}

Smoke Gets In Your EyesC: Jerome Kerne (m); Otto Harback (l)P: The Platters; Dinah Washington

They asked me how I knew

my true love was true.

I, of course, replied something deep insidecannot be denied.

They said someday youll find

all who love are blind.

When your hearts on fire you must realizesmoke gets in your eyes.

So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed

to think they could doubt my love.But today my love has flown away.

I am without my love.

Now laughing friends deride

tears I cannot hide.

So I smile and say, When a lovely flame dies,smoke gets in your eyes.

Dont Get Around Much

AnymoreC: Duke Ellington (m); Bob Russel (l)P: Nat King Cole; Natalie Cole

Missed the Saturday dance.

Heard they crowded the floor.Couldnt face it without you.

Dont get around much anymore.

Thought Id visit the club.

Got as far as the door.

Theyd have asked me about you.Dont get around much anymore.

Lately I guess my minds more at ease.

But nevertheless why stir up memories.

Been invited on dates.

Could have gone but what for?Awfully different without you.

Heart of Saturday NightC/P: Tom Waits

Well, you gassed her up behind the wheel

with your arm around your sweet one

in your Oldsmobile.Barrelin down the boulevard,

looking for the heart of Saturday night.

You got paid on Friday,

your pockets are jinglin

You see the lights and you get all tinglincause your cruising with a six

and looking for the heart of Saturday night.

Now you combed your hair

and you shaved your face,trying to wipe out every trace

of all the other days of the week.Thisll be a Saturday, youre reachin your peak

Youre stopping on the red, going on the green,cause tonightll be like nothing

that youve ever seen.

Barrelin down the boulevard


Is it the crack of the pool balls or the neon buzzin?The phone is ringing, its your second cousin.The barmaid is smiling. In the corner of her eye

shes got the magic of a

melancholy tear in her eye.

And it makes you kinda special

right down to the corecause youre dreaming of the Saturdays

that came before

and theyve got you stumblin

onto the heart of Saturday night.

So you gassed her up behind the wheel

with your arm around your sweet one in yourOldsmobile.

Barrelin down the boulevard,


You go barrelin down the boulevard

looking for the heart.

of Saturday night.

Wonderful TonightC/P: Eric Clapton

Its late in the evening.

Shes wondering what clothes to wear.She puts on her make up

and brushes her long blonde hair.

And then she asks me,Do I look alright?

and I say, Yes,

you look wonderful tonight.

We go to a party.

Everyone turns to see

this beautiful lady

walking around with me.And then she asks me,

Do you feel alright?and I say, Yes,

I feel wonderful tonight.

I feel wonderful because I see

the love light in your eyes.

And the wonder of it all

is that you just dont realizehow much I love you.

Its time to go home now,and Ive got an aching head.

So I give her the car keys,

and she helps me to bed.And then I tell her

as I turn out the light,

I say, My darling,you were wonderful tonight.

I say, My darling,

you were wonderful tonight.

Brown Eyed GirlC/P: Van Morrison

Hey where did we go, days when the rains came

Down in the hollow, playin a new game.Laughing and a running, hey, hey

skipping and a jumping

in the misty morning fogwith our hearts a thumping and you,

my brown eyed girl. You, my brown eyed girl.

Whatever happened to Tuesday and so slow

Going down the old mine with a transistor radio.

Standing in the sunlight laughing,hiding behind a rainbows wall.

Slipping and a sliding all along the waterfall with

you, my brown eyed girl.

You, my brown eyed girl.

Do you remember when we used to sing

Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da


La te da

So hard to find my way

now that Im all on my own.

I saw you just the other day.My, how you have grown.

Cast my memory back there, Lord;sometimes Im overcome thinking bout it.Laughing and a running, hey, hey,

behind the stadium with you,

my brown eyed girl.You, my brown eyed girl.

Do you remember when we used to sing

Blues For DixieC: O. W. MayoP: Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys

If youve ever seen that old Mississippi

Queen of the delta land, then youll understand why

Ive got the blues for Dixie.

If youve ever been to Tennessee when those oldcotton fields are white in the pale moonlight, then

youve had the blues for Dixie.

If youve seen that glamour of the Alabama moon

shining in the sky,

If youve got a baby down in Birmingham, maybe

youll know the reason why,

That Im gonna be bluetil Im on that old choo-chooheadin down south again. There goes that train

thats leaving me blue for Dixie.

Big Bang TheoryC/P: Mark Graham

Many billion years beforewhat they call the days of yore,

the view was so uncluttered and pristine.

The universe was void, nary one stray asteroid.Creation, friends, had yet to make the scene,

when with a rude and primal hiss,

some fundamental orifice

blasted forth effluvium and gas.So call it what you may,

but for now just let us say

that the cosmos in its glory came to pass.

It was on that fateful day

the Earth was sent upon its waya pleasure cruise upon the cosmic sea.

With Jupiter and Mars,and a cast of well known stars,

to keep their little buddy company.The director of the cruise

kept them thoroughly amused,

and delighted were they with the bill of fare.They were certainly surprised

when they finally realized that theyd

booked a one-way trip to God knows where.

Being molten for a term,

the terra firma became firm,and oceans filled the holes eventually.

The celestial planning board

soon came to full accord

and zoned the planet residentially.When the great time-sharing plan

on condo Earth began,

real estate was for the wealthy few.Now even low class bugs and germs

could afford the easy terms;

a luxury apartment with a view.

It wasnt long before gigantic dinosaurs

were strolling up and down throughout the land.But their tiny cerebellums

werent smart enough to tell um

that their terrible demise was close at hand.These tremendous herbivores

ate their herbal hors devours,gamboling about without a care,

and now they can be foundfar underneath the ground

in some forgotten geologic lair.

Well, times went age by age

and other creatures took the stage.

Gorillas, rats, and dogs were in the cast,when a naked biped beast,

who may not have been the least, but was among

those folks who took their places last.This two-legged prima donnatold all the other fauna

that the starring role was his and his alone.

When the others asked him why,he just pointed towards the sky

and said that God had told him on the phone.

With his new opposing thumb

and his king-size cranium,

Man sallied forth with grace and savoir-faire.

With Promethean desire,he soon discovered fire,

and arson but a single step from there.

From the wheel and gasoline,to the full sized limousine,

music, art, and law are but a few.

But nothing can compare to the artistry so rare ofthe spare rib that has met the barbeque.

Well I would like to saythat weve come a long long way

from that big celestial bang a way back when.And before we say farewell,

Id like to know just where the hellthis roller coaster ride is going to end.

Will we all be blown away

on some atomic judgment day,or sally off to space in high renown?

But where ere we finally go,

one thing I truly knowis well find some way to go there sitting down.

Life Gets TejusC/P: Carson Robison (1948)P: Peter Lind Hayes, Walter Brennan, Tex Williams

The sun comes up and the sun goes down,The hands on the clock keep goin around.

I just get up and its time to lay down.

Just one durn thing after another.

My shoes untied but I dont care.

I aint figurin on goin nowhere.Id have to wash and comb my hair

And thats just wasted effort.

Water in the well gettin lower and lower.

Cant take a bath for six months more.

Ive heard it said and its true, Im sure

That too much bathinll weaken ya.

I open the door and the flies swarm in;

I shut the door and Im sweatin again,And in the process I crack my shin.

Life gets tejus, dont it?

That old brown mule he must be sick.

I jabbed him in the rump with a pin on a stick.

He humped his back but he wouldnt kick.

Theres somethin cockeyed somewhere.

Mouse chawin on the pantry door.Hes been at it for a month or more.When he gits through, hell sure be sore

cause there aint a durn thing in there.

Houndog howlin so forlorn.

Laziest dog that ever was born.

Hes howlin cause hes sittin on a thornAnd just too tired to move over.

The tin roof leaks and the chimney leans.

Theres a hole in the seat of my new blue jeans,And Ive et the last of the porkn beans.

Just cant depend on nothin.

The cows gone dry and the hens wont lay,

And the fish quit bitin last Saturday.

My troubles keep pilin up day by day,And now Im gettin dandruff.

Grief and misery, pain and woes,

Death and taxes and so it goes.And I think Im gettin a cold in my nose.

Life gets tasteless, dont it.

Searching for my lost shaker of saltSome people claim that theres a woman to blame

But I know its nobodys fault

But its a real beauty

A Mexican cutieHow it got here I havent a clue

Chorus: (with last line--)

Now I think, Hell, it could be my fault

I blew out my flip-flopStepped on a pop-top

Cut my heel had to cruise on back home

But theres booze in the blenderAnd soon it will render

Wreck of the Old NumberNine

C: Carson Robison

P: Jim Reeves

On a dark storm nightNot a star was in sight

And the north wind came

Howling down the line,Stood a brave engineer

With his sweetheart so dear

And his orders toPull old Number Nine.

There was a tear in his eye

When he kissed her goodbyeBut the joy in his heart

He could not hide

For the whole world seemed rightWhen she told him that night

That tomorrow

Shed be his blushing bride.

The wheels hummed a song

As the train rolled alongAnd the black smoke came

Pouring from the stack,

And the headlight a-gleam

Seemed to brighten his dream

Of tomorrowWhen hed be coming back.

As he sped round the hill

His brave heart stood still

For a headlightWas shining in his face

And he whispered a prayer

As he threw on the air

For he knew thisWould be his final race.

In the wreck he was foundLying there on the ground,

And he asked them

To raise his weary head.As his breath slowly went

This message he sent

To the maidenThat he would never wed.

Theres a little white home

That I built for our own

Where I dreamed wed behappy, you and I.

Now I leave it to youFor I know youll be true

Till we meet atThe Golden Gate goodbye.

The Galaxy SongFrom Monty Pythons "The Meaning Of Life"

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that'sevolving

And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,

That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it'sreckoned,

A sun that is the source of all our power.

The sun and you and me and all the stars that we

can seeAre moving at a million miles a day

In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an

hour,Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.

Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.

It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years

thick,But out by us, it's just three thousand light years

wide.We're thirty thousand light years from galactic

central point.

We go 'round every two hundred million years,And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions

In this amazing and expanding universe.

The universe itself keeps on expanding and

expanding

In all of the directions it can whizzAs fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,

Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest

speed there is.

So remember, when you're feeling very small andinsecure,

How amazingly unlikely is your birth,

And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere upin space,

'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.

You Aint Goin NowhereC/P: Bob Dylan

Clouds so swift, rain wont lift

Gate wont close, railings frozeGet your mind off wintertime

You aint goin nowhere

Chorus:Whoo-ee ride me high

Tomorrows the day

My Brides gonna comeOh, oh, are we gonna fly

Down in the easy chair!

I dont care how many letters they sent

Morning came and morning went

Pick up your money and pack up your tentYou aint goin nowhere

Chorus:

Buy me a flute and a gun that shoots

Tailgates and substitutes

Strap yourself to the tree with rootsYou aint goin nowhere

Chorus:

Genghis Khan he could not keep

All his kings supplied with sleep

Well climb that hill no matter how steepWhen we come up to it

When Youre Next to MeFrom A Mighty Wind

When Im standing next to you

Theres a song to singI know everythings feeling right

When Im standing next to youSteeple bells ring

Only good things do I see

When youre next to me.

When I hold your hand in mine

A different world wakesA new morning breaks with the sun

When I hold your hand in mine

Childrens dreams take flight

Through a starlit night, thats what I seeWhen youre next to me

This love for you Im feelin

Has a power that is healin

It can mend the darkest hourWith glorious light

When I taste your lips so sweet

I see beggars dineAnd the sands of time up and stop

When I taste your lips so sweetBlack and white bands

Every dove lands at your feet

When youre next to me

(solo break)

This love for you Im feelin

Has a power that is healinIt can mend the darkest hour

With glorious light

When Im lying next to you

I feel moonbeams burn

I see rainbows turn into gold

When Im lying next to you

I hear angels play, I see sweeter days

I see rivers wind through the end of timeI see hatred fall from the highest hills

I see Gods good grace shining inyour eyes

Thats what I see when youre next to me

Back Home AgainC/P: John Denver

Theres a storm across the valley,

Clouds are rollin inThe afternoon is heavy on your shoulders

Theres a truck out on the four lane

A mile or more awayThe whinin of his wheels just makes it colder.

Hes an hour away from ridinOn your prayers up in the sky

And ten days on the road are barely gone.

Theres a fire softly burningSuppers on the stove

But its the light in your eyes that makes him warm

Chorus:

Hey its good to be back home againSometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend

Yes n hey its good to be back home again

Theres all the news to tell him

Howd you spend your timeAnd whats the latest thing the neighbors say

And your mother called last Friday

Sunshine made her cry

And you felt the baby move just yesterday

Chorus

And oh the time that I can lay

This tired old body down

And feel your fingers feather soft upon meThe kisses that I live for

The love that lights my way

The happiness that living with you brings me

Its the sweetest thing I know of

Just spending time with you

Its the little things that make a house a homeLike a fire softly burning

And supper on the stove

And the light in your eyes that makes me warm

Chorus

We dont care what they look like well eat them

Any way they can fit on our plateEvery way we can conjure to heat them

Were delighted and think theyre just great

Chorus:

Po-ta-to Po-ta-to Po-ta-to Po-

ta-to Po-ta-to Po-ta-to Po-ta-to Po-ta-to Po-ta-to Po-ta-to

Po-ta-to Po-ta-to Po-ta-to

Sometimes we ditch the skinTo eat what its holding in

Sometimes wed rather please

Have just the outside with cheese

They have eyes but they do not have faces

I dont know if their feeling get hurtBy just hanging around in dark places

Where they only can stare at the dirt

Chorus

I guess the use is scantFor other parts of the plant

But that which grows in view

Is eating potato too

I imagine them under their acres

Out in Idaho and up in Maine

Maybe wondering if theyll be bakersOr Knishes or latkes or plain

Chorus

If Youre Into ItC/P: Flight of the Conchords

If you want me to

I can hang round with youIf I only knew

If thats what youre into

You and him, him and you


Him hangin round, around youYou hangin round, yeah youre there too

If you want me toI will take off all my clothes for you

Ill take off all my clothes for you


How bout him in the nudeIf thats what youre into

In the nude in front of youIs that what youd wanna view?

And if its cool with youIll let you get naked too

It could be a dream come true

Providing thats what you are into

Is that what youre into

Him and you in the nudeThats what hes prepared to do, is that the kindathing that you think you might be into

And then maybe laterWell get hot by the refrigerator

In the kitchen next to the pantry

I think that might be what you fancy

In the buff, being rude

Doin stuff with the food

Gettin lewd with his foodWe hear thats what you are into

Then on our next dateWell you could bring your roommate

I dont know if Stu is keen to

But if you want we could double team you

How bout you and two dudes

Him you and Stu in the nude

Being lewd with two dudes and foodWell thats if Stus into it too

All the things Id do

Things Id do for youIf I only knew


Oooo
