I Wonder What She's Doing Tonight Composer(s): Tommy Boyce; Bobby Hart Performer(s): Boyce & Hart
f I had told her that I loved her She would have stayed till who knows when But I guess she couldn't understand it When I said I want to be your friend Cause a friend would never doubt you Or ever put you uptight And now I wonder what she's doing tonight
Oh yes I wonder What she's doing tonight Ooh I wonder what she's doing Tonight
We were so close we shouldn't get closer And it's making me feel so sad But I tell myself I didn't loose her Cause you can't loose a friend you never had (come on now) Cause a friend won't say it's over And go out just for spite And now I wonder what she's doing tonight
Oh yes I wonder What she's doing tonight Ooh I wonder what she's doing Tonight
(all right Bobby) Because a friend will always be there If you're wrong or if you're right And now I wonder what she's doing tonight
Oh yes I wonder What she's doing tonight Ooh I wonder what she's doing Tonight
Kneel Down Composer(s): Carlton Haney Performer(s): Don Reno & Red Smiley; Ronnie Reno
Kneel down, kneel down at the foot of the Cross And ask forgiveness that you may not be lost Jesus will forgive you of your every sin And you can go to Heaven, my brother When He comes again
All of you sinners who live a sinful way And go on a-living in sin every day Jesus will guide you, if you'll let him in And you can go to Heaven, my brother When He comes again
Kneel down, kneel down at the foot of the Cross And ask forgiveness that you may not be lost Jesus will forgive you of your every sin And you can go to Heaven, my brother When He comes again
All you merry-makers who live the wicked way And turn your backs on Jesus and His church every day Jesus is calling, won't you let him in And you can go to Heaven, my brother When He comes again
Knees Of My Heart Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett; Will Jennings; Michael Utley Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett; Chuck St. Troy
I've got a question for you Please grant me an interview Don't want to read it in a magazine Don't want to see it on the silver screen Don't let the craziness tear us apart
I'm down on the knees of my heart Down here on the knees of my heart
This comes from deep in my soul Your sweet love has taken control I'll swim across the ocean if you tell me so I'll take you to the jump up if you want to go It never is too late to make a brand new start
I'm down here on the knees of my heart Down here on the knees of my heart
Oh how I will sing if you give me everything I live for the day when there's nothing in our way
I will be waiting tonight You'll find my boat by the light I'm gonna show you what my love can do Out on the ocean all alone with you We'll find a desert island on an ancient chart
Take me from the knees of my heart Take me from the knees of my heart Take me from the knees of my heart Take me from the knees of my heart
'Twas Teatime At The Circus Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Gary Brooker - Matthew Fisher - E.Y. Harburg - Keith Reid Performer(s): Procol Harum
'T was tea-time at the circus: King Jimi, he was there Through hoops he skipped, high wires he tripped And all the while the glare of the aching, baking spotlight beat down upon his cloak And though the crowd clapped furiously they could not see the joke
'T was tea-time at the circus, though some might not agree As jugglers danced, and horses pranced and clowns clowned endlessly But trunk to tail the elephants quite silent, never spoke And though the crowd clapped desperately they could not see the joke
I Wonder How The Old Folks Are At Home Composer(s): A.P. Carter; M. Christian Performer(s): Osborne Brothers and multiple other artists
Well I wonder how the old folks are at home I wonder if they miss me while I roam I wonder if they pray for the boy who went away And left his dear old parents all alone
Now you can hear the cattle lowin' in the lane You cant see the fields of bluegrass where I roam You can almost hear them cry as they kiss their boy goodbye I wonder how the old folks are at home
Just a village and a homestead on the farm And a mother's love to shield you from all harm A mother's love so dear and a sweetheart brave and true Just a village and a homestead on the farm
Knees up Mother Brown Knees up Mother Brown Under the table you must go Ee-aye, Ee-aye, Ee-aye-oh If I catch you bending I'll saw your legs right off Knees up, knees up Never get the breeze up Knees up Mother Brown
Oh my, what a rotten song What a rotten song What a rotten song Oh my, what a rotten song And what a rotten singer Too-oo-ooh
----------
Alternative Version:
There came a girl from France Who didn't know how to dance The only thing that she could do Was knees up Mother Brown
Oh, knees up Mother Brown Knees up Mother Brown Knees up, knees up, never let the breeze up Knees up Mother Brown
Oh, hopping on one foot Hopping on one foot Hopping, hopping, never stopping Hopping on one foot
Oh, knees up Mother Brown Knees up Mother Brown Knees up, knees up, never let the breeze up Knees up Mother Brown
Oh, prancing up and down Prancing up and down Prancing, prancing, never dancing Prancing up and down
Oh, knees up Mother Brown Knees up Mother Brown Knees up, knees up, never let the breeze up Knees up Mother Brown
And whirling round and round Whirling round and round Whirling, whirling, never twirling Whirling round and round
Oh, knees up Mother Brown Knees up Mother Brown Knees up, knees up, never let the breeze up Knees up Mother Brown
Oh, knees up Mother Brown Knees up Mother Brown Knees up, knees up, never let the breeze up Knees up Mother Brown
I Wonder Composer(s): John Entwistle Performer(s): John Entwistle
I wonder what would happen if my dog could talk Would he look me in the eye and say take me for a walk When I gave him his dinner would he shake his head And say take it away I want caviar instead?
Thank you Mother Nature For the way you got things planned Don't ever change a thing, I'm happy as I am Imagine living in a place where the sea was red And your legs were in the position now occupied by your head Imagine living in a place where black was white And white was black, even the night
I wonder what would happen if my fish could fly Would it leap from its tank and hit the cat in the eye Out through the window and into the sky I'm so glad that sharks can't fly
Thank you Mother Nature For the way you got things planned Don't ever change a thing, I'm happy as I am Imagine living in a place where the sea was red And your legs were in the position now occupied by your head Imagine living in a place where black was white And white was black, even the night
I wonder what would happen if the moon fell down Would it leave a white circle Where they painted around I wonder what would happen if the sun went out

TV Screen Composer(s): Goran Bregovic - Iggy Pop Performer(s): Iggy Pop
Find a beautiful old street Not rushing through this time In a bar where a fat lady reigns supreme Come in and drink with a false name In circus clothes forget their pain They are the zombie bodies Caught in the glow of the TV screen Just forget it?
Forget it all The TV screen TV screen makes you feel small No life at all
Now that you have turned it off It's harder than you thought No one wants to give a damn Or even hear a thought They rush from one fad to the next You talk and it has no effect You are the target for stars And the planets on the TV screen Just forget it?
Forget it all The TV screen TV screen makes you feel small No life at all
TV Mama Composer(s): Lou Willie Turner - Johnny Winter Performer(s): Big Joe Turner and multiple other artists
Well I laid down last night And I turned my TV on You know I laid down last night I turned my TV on You know she's a good old box people But I believe my tube is blown

Got my TV working My old tube is like brand new And now I got my TV workin' My old tube is like brand new Yes come over baby And I show my tube to you haha How do you like my tube?
I Wonder (Departure) French Title: Imagine-Moi - 1983 Composer(s): Stig Erik Leopold Anderson; Benny Andersson; Björn Ulvaeus First release by: ABBA - 1977
This park and these houses, old streets I have walked Everything dear, will it be here One day when I am returning? My friends will get married, have children and homes It sounds so nice, well-planned and wise Never expecting surprises
I wonder, it's frightening Leaving now, is that the right thing? I wonder, it scares me But who the the hell am I if I don't leave it I'm not a coward Oh no, I'll be strong One chance in a lifetime Yes I will take it, it can't go wrong
My friends and my family, this dull little town Buses I've missed, boys that I've kissed Everything old and familiar
I wonder, it's frightening Leaving now, is that the right thing? I wonder, it scares me But who the the hell am I if I don't leave it I'm not a coward Oh no, I'll be strong One chance in a lifetime Yes I will take it... Yes I will take it, it can't go wrong

TV Is The Thing This Year Composer(s): William Sanford - Philip E. Medley Performer(s): Dinah Washington; Lee Aaron; Dianne Reeves
Well if you wanna have fun come home with me You can stay all night and play with my TV
TV is the thing this year This year, TV is the thing this year Radio was great, but now it's outta date TV is the thing this year
Last night I was watchin' old Tom Mix My TV broke and I was in a fix Got on the phone an' called my man, I said "Get here, Daddy, as fast as you can"
TV is the thing this year This year, TV is the thing this year Radio was great, but now it's outta date TV is the thing this year
He turned my dial to channel one I knew that this was gonna be fun Turned right up to channel two That station thrilled me through and through Moved one notch to channel three I said how I love what you're doin' to me
TV is the thing this year This year, TV is the thing this year Radio was great, but now it's outta date TV is the thing this year
He moved on up to channel four Just about the time someone knocked on the door And the way he eased into channel five I swear that man had fluid drive
Moved one notch to channel six Opened up his little bag o' tricks On channel seven, the show was late But we still got our kicks on channel eight
TV is the thing this year This year, TV is the thing this year Radio was great, but now it's outta date TV is the thing this year
He grooved on up to channel nine Said, "Sweet baby, are you satisfied?" Turned it up to channel ten And then, we did it, all over again He finally hit, on channel eleven I cried, "More, more", you treat your Daddy good
TV is the thing this year This year, TV is the thing this year Radio was great, but now it's outta date TV is the thing this year
