good luck came a-knocking at my door...Who's that knocking at my door Who's that knocking at my door? Who's that knocking at my door? Who's that knocking at my door? Cried the fair young maiden. Well, it's only me from over the sea, Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor, I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree, Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor. I'll sail the sea until I croak, Drink my whiskey, swear, and smoke, But I can't swim a bloody stroke, Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor. Tell me when we soon shall wed, Tell me when we soon shall wed, Tell me when we soon shall wed, Said the fair young maiden. Uh-uh! I got me a wife in every port, Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor. The handsome gals is what I court, Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor. With my false heart and flattering tongue I courts 'em all both old and young, I courts 'em all, but marries none, Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor. So good-bye, Good-bye, So long, toots, I'll see you again! Barnacle Bill the Sailor Carson Robinson and Frank Luther (The above is a cleaned-up version from Tin Pan Alley days of a truly filthy little ditty that preceded this version. I remember Olive Oyl and Bluto singing this one in an old cartoon. I never knew the earlier words till I was looking this up today. ![]() ![]() ![]() | |||

lit up like a Christmas tree ... decked out like a Christmas tree And if one day I should become A singer with a Spanish bum Who sings for women of great virtue I'd sing to them with a guitar I borrowed from coffee bar Well, what you don't know doesn't hurt you My name would be Antonio And all my bridges I would burn And if I gave them some they'd know I expect something in return I'd have to get drunk every night To talk about virility With some old grandmother who might Be decked out like a Christmas tree And tho' pink elephants I'd see I'd sing the song they sang to me About the time they called me Jackie If I could be for only an hour If I could be for an hour every day If I could be for just one little hour Cute, cute, cute in a stupid-ass way.

grandmother...grandfather My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf, So it stood ninety years on the floor. It was taller by half than the old man himself, Though it weighed not a pennyweight more. It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born, It was always his treasure and pride, And it stopped short, never to go again, when the old man died. In watching its pendulum swing to and fro, Many hours he spent as a boy. And in childhood and manhood the clock seemed to know, And it shared both his sorrow and joy. And it struck twenty-four when he entered in the door, With a blooming and beautiful bride, And it stopped short, never to go again, when the old man died. Ninety years without slumbering, tick, tock, tick, tock, Its life seconds numbering, tick, tock, tick, tock, It stopped short, never to go again, when the old man died. My grandfather said that of those he could hire, Not a servant so faithful he found. It wasted no time and it had one desire, At the end of the week to be wound. And it stayed in its place, not a frown upon its face, And its hands never hung by its side, And it stopped short, never to go again, when the old man died. Now, it rang an alarm in the still of the night, An alarm that for years had been dumb. We knew that his spirit was pluming in flight, That his hour of departure had come. Still the clock kept its time with a soft and muffled chime, As we silently stood by his side, And it stopped short, never to go again, when the old man died. Ninety years without slumbering, tick, tock, tick, tick, Its life seconds numbering, tick, tock, tick, tock, It stopped short, never to go again, when the old man died My Grandfather's Clock Poem by C. Russel Christian, set to music by Henry Clay Work | |||

Rock Around the Clock Rock Around The Clock Lyrics from Bill Haley One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock, rock, Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock, rock, Nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock, rock, We're gonna rock around the clock tonight. Put your glad rags on and join me, hon, We'll have some fun when the clock strikes one, We're gonna rock around the clock tonight, We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight. We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight. When the clock strikes two, three and four, If the band slows down we'll yell for more, We're gonna rock around the clock tonight, We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight. We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight. When the chimes ring five, six and seven, We'll be right in seventh heaven. We're gonna rock around the clock tonight, We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight. We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight. When it's eight, nine, ten, eleven too, I'll be goin' strong and so will you. We're gonna rock around the clock tonight, We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight. We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight. When the clock strikes twelve, we'll cool off then, Start a rockin' round the clock again. We're gonna rock around the clock tonight, We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight. We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight. | |||

Strip Polka There's a place around the corner Where the boys like to go To see Queenie, the beauty Of the Burlesque Show. It's the thrill of the evening When out Queenie trips And the band plays a polka While she strips. "Take it off, take it off," shout the boys in the rear; "Take it off, take it off," that is all you can hear, But Queenie is a lady Even in pantomime, So she stops .................... and always just in time. | |||

Burlesque...burleeque I got to Kansas City on a Frid'y By Saturdy I learnt a thing or two For up to then I didn't have an idy Of whut the modren world was comin' to! I counted twenty gas buggies goin' by theirsel's Almost ev'ry time I tuk a walk 'Nen I put my ear to a Bell Telephone And a strange womin started in to talk! Ev'rythin's up to date in Kansas City They've gone about as fur as they c'n go! They went and built a skyscraper 7 stories high About as high as a buildin' oughta grow Ev'rythin's like a dream in Kansas City It's better than a magic lantern show! Y' c'n turn the radiator on whenever you want some heat With ev'ry kind o' comfort ev'ry house is all complete You c'n walk to privies in the rain and never wet your feet! They've gone about as fur as they c'n go Yes sir! They've gone about as fur as they c'n go! Ev'rythin's up to date in Kansas City They've gone about as fur as they c'n go! They got a big theayter they call a burleeque Fer fifty cents you c'n see a dandy show One of the gals was fat and pink and pretty As round above as she was round below I could swear that she was padded from her shoulder to her heel But later in the second act when she began to peel She proved that ev'rythin' she had was absolutely real! She went about as fur as she could go Yes sir! She went about as fur as she could go! Kansas City from Oklahoma! Rogers & Hammerstein | |||

pink and pretty ... Pretty in Pink Caroline laughs and It's raining all day She loves to be one of the girls She lives in the place In the side of our lives Where nothing is Ever put straight She turns herself round And she smiles and she says 'This is it' 'That's the end of the joke' And loses herself In her dreaming and sleep And her lovers walk Through in their coats Pretty in pink Isn't she? Pretty in pink Isn't she? All of her lovers All talk of her notes And the flowers That they never sent And wasn't she easy And isn't she Pretty in pink The one who insists He was first in the line Is the last to Remember her name He's walking around In this dress That she wore She is gone But the joke's the same Pretty in pink Isn't she? Pretty in pink Isn't she? Caroline talks to you Softly sometimes She says 'I love you' and 'Too much' She doesn't have anything You want to steal Well Nothing you can touch She waves She buttons your shirt The traffic Is waiting outside She hands you this coat She gives you her clothes These cars collide Pretty in pink Isn't she? Pretty in pink Isn't she? The Psychedelic Furs Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life. | |||

and that man comes on the radio . . . imagination Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by. I say to myself, "You're such a lucky guy." To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true. Out of all of the fellas in the world she belongs to you... But it was just my imagination running away with me. It was just my imagination running away with me... Ooh-hoo-hoo-hooh Soon we'll be married.. and raise a family. In a cozy, little home out in the country with two children, maybe three.

a cozy, little home out in the country...out in the country Whenever I need to leave it all behind Or feel the need to get away I find a quiet place, far from the human race Out in the country Before the breathin' air is gone Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime Out where the rivers like to run I stand alone and take back something worth remembering Whenever I feel them closing in on me Or need a bit of room to move When life becomes too fast, I find relief at last Out in the country Before the breathin' air is gone Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime Out where the rivers like to run I stand alone and take back something worth remembering Out in the Country P.William/R.Nichols (Three Dog Night) | |||

Sharing our load...the load...doesn't weigh me down at all The road is long, with many a winding turn That leads us to who knows where, Who knows where But I'm strong, strong enough to carry him He ain't heavy, he's my brother So on we go, his welfare is my concern No burden is he to bear, we'll get there For I know he would not encumber me He ain't heavy, he's my brother If I'm laden at all, I'm laden with sadness That everyone's heart isn't filled with the gladness Of love for one another It's a long, long road from which there is no return While we're on our way to there, why not share And the load, it doesn't weigh me down at all He ain't heavy, he's my brother He Ain't Heavy Neil Diamond Recorded by The Hollies & a whole buncha other singers | |||

If the button is pushed, there's no running away There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave Take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy But you tell me over and over and over again my friend Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin' I'm sittin' here, just contemplatin' I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation Handful of Senators don't pass legislation And marches alone can't bring integration When human respect is disintegratin' This whole crazy world is just too frustratin' And you tell me over and over and over again my friend Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction Think of all the hate there is in Red China! Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama! Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space But when you return, it's the same old place The poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgrace You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace Hate your next door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace And you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction Tinman | |||

world . . . world There's a kind of hush all over the world tonight All over the world you can hear the sounds of lovers in love You know what I mean Just the two of us and nobody else concerned There's nobody else, and I'm feeling good holding you tight So listen very carefully, closer now And you will see what I mean (see what I mean) It isn't a dream (it isn't a dream) The only sound that you will hear Is when I whisper in your ear, I love you forever and ever There's a Kind Of Hush ~ Englebert Humperdink ******* "Happiness is not something ready made.

world...Just the two of us Just the Two of Us ~ Bill Withers I see the crystal raindrops fall And the beauty of it all when the sun comes shining through To make those rainbows in my mind When I think of you some time And I want to spend some time with you CHORUS:Just the two of us We can make it if we try Just the two of us Just the two of us Building castles in the sky Just the two of us You and I We look for love, no time for tears Wasted waters's all that is And it don't make no flowers grow Good things might come to those who wait Not to those who wait to late We got to go for all we know | |||

castles in the sky...castle of love Over time, I’ve building my castle of love Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason I’ve gone much too far for you now to say That I’ve got to throw my castle away Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true Though you never knew it was of you I’ve been dreaming The sandman has come from too far away For you to say come back some other day And though you don’t believe that they do They do come true For did my dreams Come true when I looked at you And maybe too, if you would believe You too might be Overjoyed, over loved, over me Over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone Just to find, I had found what I’ve searched to discover I’ve come much too far for me now to find The love that I’ve sought can never be mine And though you don’t believe that they do They do come true For did my dreams Come true when I looked at you And maybe too, if you would believe You too might be Overjoyed, over loved, over me And though the odds say improbable What do they know For in romance All true love needs is a chance And maybe with a chance you will find You too like i Overjoyed, over loved, over you, over you Overjoyed Stevie Wonder | |||

Nancy Wilson Lyrics - Guess Who I Saw Today [Elisse Boyd - Murray Grand] You're so late getting home from the office, Did you miss your train? Where you caught in the rain? No, don't bother to explain. Can I fix you a quick martini? As a matter of fact I'll have one with you, For to tell you the truth I've had quite a day too! Guess who I saw today, my dear! I went in town to shop around for something new, and thought I'd stop and have a bite when I was through. I looked around for someplace near, and it occurred to me where I had parked the car, There is a most attractive French cafe and bar. It really wasn't very far. The waiter showed me to a dark, secluded corner, And when my eyes became accustomed to the gloom, I saw two people at the bar who were so much in love, that even I could spot it clear across the room. Guess who I saw today, my dear! I've never been so shocked before. I headed blindly for the door. They didn't see me passing through, Guess who I saw today? Guess who I saw today? Guess who I saw today? I saw you! | |||

my eyes became accustomed to the gloom...my eyes are not accustomed to this light I keep hearin' you're concerned about my happiness But all that thought you're givin' me is conscience I guess If I was walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none While you 'n' your friends are worried about me I'm havin' lots of fun Countin' flowers on the wall That don't bother me at all Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo Now, don't tell me I've nothin' to do Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down So please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doin' fine You can always find me here, I'm havin' quite a time Countin' flowers on the wall That don't bother me at all Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo Now, don't tell me I've nothin' to do It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete So I must go back to my room and make my day complete Countin' flowers on the wall That don't bother me at all Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do Don't tell me I've nothin' to do Flowers on the Wall Statler Brothers | |||

Come and play...come out and play Playmate, come out and play with me And bring your dollies three. Climb up my apple tree, Look down my rain barrel Slide down my cellar door And we'll be jolly friends forevermore. I'm sorry, playmate, I cannot play with you My dollies have the flu, Boo-hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo. Ain't got no rain barrel, Ain't got no cellar door But we'll be jolly friends forevermore. Playmate | |||

come out and play...have the flu Cats in the Cradle ~Harry Chapin My child arrived just the other day He came to the world in the usual way But there were planes to catch and bills to pay He learned to walk while I was away And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you comin' home son? I don't know when, but we'll get together then son You know we'll have a good time then Well, he came home from college just the other day So much like a man I just had to say "Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?" He shook his head and said with a smile "What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys See you later, can I have them please?" And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you comin' home son? I don't know when, but we'll get together then son You know we'll have a good time then I've long since retired, my son's moved away I called him up just the other day I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind" He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time You see my new job's a hassle and kids have the flu But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad It's been sure nice talking to you" And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me He'd grown up just like me My boy was just like me And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you comin' home son? I don't know when, but we'll get together then son You know we'll have a good time then He'd say "I'm gonna be like you dad You know I'm gonna be like you" And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you comin' home dad? I don't know when, but we'll get together then son You know we'll have a good time then My son turned ten just the other day He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play Can you teach me to throw", I said "Not today I got a lot to do", he said, "That's ok" And he walked away but his smile never dimmed And said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah You know I'm gonna be like him" | |||

man on the moon . . . moon Oh, I’m bein’ followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow Leapin and hoppin’ on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land, Oh if I ever lose my hands, oh if.... I won’t have to work no more. And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colours all run dry, Yes if I ever lose my eyes, oh if.... I won’t have to cry no more. And if I ever lose my legs, I won’t moan, and I won’t beg, Yes if I ever lose my legs, oh if.... I won’t have to walk no more. And if I ever lose my mouth, all my teeth, north and south, Yes if I ever lose my mouth, oh if.... I won’t have to talk... Moonshadow ~ Cat Sevens ******* "Happiness is not something ready made.

if i ever ... if ever I If ever I would leave you, it wouldn't be in summer Seeing you in summer, I never would go Your hair streaked with sunlight, your lips red as flame Your face with a luster that puts gold to shame But if I'd ever leave you, it couldn't be in autumn How I'd leave in autumn, I never will know I've seen how you sparkle when fall nips the air I know you in autumn and I must be there And could I leave you running merrily through the snow Or on a wintry evening when you catch the fire's glow If ever I would leave you, how could it be in springtime Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so Oh, no, not in springtime, summer, winter, or fall No never could I leave you at all. - from Camelot by Lerner and Lowe | |||

bewitched bothered and bewildered . . . I'm wild again, beguiled again A simpering, whimpering child again Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I Couldn't sleep, and wouldn't sleep When love came and told me, I shouldn't sleep Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I Lost my heart, but what of it? My mistake I agree He's a laugh, but I love it Because the laugh's on me A pill he is, but still he is All mine and I'll keep him until he is Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - like me *** I like best the verse that Diane Schuur added (apparently, since it's not in the original movie) I'll sing for him each Spring for him I'll worship the trousers that cling to him Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I! *** from _Pal Joey_ by Hart and Rogers ******* "Happiness is not something ready made.

the laugh's on me...this laugh's on me I get up in the evening And I ain't got nothing to say I come home in the morning I go to bed feeling the same way I ain't nothing but tired Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself Hey there, baby, I could use just a little help You can't start a fire You can't start a fire without a spark This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark Message keeps getting clearer Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place I check my look in the mirror Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face Man, I ain't getting nowhere just sitting in a dump like this There's something happening somewhere Baby, I just know there is You can't start a fire You can't start a fire without a spark This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark You sit around getting older There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me I'll shake this world off my shoulders Come on, baby, this laugh's on me Stay on the streets of this town And they'll be carving you up all right They say you gotta stay hungry Hey, baby, I'm just about starving tonight I'm dying for some action I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book I need a love reaction Come on now, baby, gimme just one look You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark Dancing in the Dark Bruce Springsteen | |||

it's over...it's over Your baby doesn't love you anymore. Golden days, before they end, Whisper secrets to the wind. Your baby won't be near you anymore. Tender nights, before they fly, Send falling stars that seem to cry. Your baby doesn't want you anymore. It's over. It breaks your heart in two, To know she's been untrue. But oh, what will you do, When she says to you, "There's someone new, We're through, We're through"? It's over, it's over, it's over. All the rainbows in the sky Start to weep and say goodbye. You won't be seeing rainbows anymore. Setting suns, before they fall, Echo to you, "That's all, that's all." But you'll see lonely sunsets, after all. It's over, it's over, it's over.... It's over. It's Over Roy Orbison | |||

Send falling stars ... Catch a falling star Catch a falling star an’ put it in your pocket, Never let it fade away! Catch a falling star an’ put it in your pocket, Save it for a rainy day! For love may come an' tap you on the shoulder, Some star-less night! Just in case you feel you wanna’ hold her, You’ll have a pocketful of starlight! Catch a falling star an’ put it in your pocket, Never let it fade away! Catch a falling star an’ put it in your pocket, Save it for a rainy day! For when your troubles startn’ multiplyin’, An' they just might! It’s easy to forget them without tryin’, With just a pocketful of starlight! - Music and Lyrics by Lee Pockriss and Paul Vance | |||
