    I'd Rather Go Blind
    Composer(s): Ellington Jordan; Billy Foster
    First release by: Etta James - 1968
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Something told me it was over
    When I saw you and her talking
    Something deep down in my soul said cry girl
    When I saw you and that girl walking

    I would rather
    I would rather go blind, boy
    Than to see you walk away from me, child
    So you see, I love you so much
    That I don't wanna watch you leave me, baby
    Most of all I just don't
    I just don't want to be free, no

    I was just, I was just
    I was just sitting here thinking
    Of your kiss and your warm embrace
    When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips, baby
    Revealed the tears that was on my face

    And
    Baby, Baby, I'd rather be blind, boy
    Than to see you walk away from me

    Kid Stuff
    Composer(s): Jerry Crutchfield; Don Earl
    Performer(s): Barbara Fairchild; Ralph Emery



    I often think of younger days
    A boy, a girl, and backyard play
    I'd get hurt, you'd get your way
    And they called it kid stuff

    And though it mattered little then
    The childish games you'd always win
    Now the stakes are higher and it's no longer kid stuff

    Kid stuff when I was little was sitting in the middle of a cotton candy world
    But now my heart is saying 'this is no game we're playing'
    For I can see I'm losing you to another world

    I remember very well plans we made by a wishing well
    And secret stuff we couldn't tell
    Ain't that just like kid stuff?

    And I always thought you'd be mine
    At least until the end of time
    I wore your ring that cost a dime
    Happiness is kid stuff

    Kid stuff when I was little was sitting in the middle of a cotton candy world
    But now my heart is saying 'this is no game we're playing'
    For I can see I'm losing you to another world
    I'm losing you to another world

    Tyger! Tyger!
    Composer(s): William Blake - Toni Tennille - Ron Thronson
    Performer(s): Ann Mortifee



    Tyger, tyger burning bright
    In the forests of the night
    What immortal hand or eye
    Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

    Tyger, tyger please beware
    Of human creatures lurking there

    Tyger, tyger burning bright
    In the forests of the night
    Did he smile his handiwork to see
    Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

    Tyger, tyger please beware
    Of human creatures lurking there
    Tyger, tyger burning bright

    I'd Rather Charleston
    Composer(s): George Gershwin; Desmond Carter
    Performer(s): Fred & Adele Astaire
    and multiple other artists



    Fred:
    I've seen for days that you've got
    The ways that must be checked
    In you I never can detect
    The slightest signs of intellect
    Your mad on dances, think of the chances you neglect
    You never seem inclined to use your mind
    And it's quite plain to see
    That I'm the brains of the family

    Fred:
    Take a lesson from me

    Adele:
    I'd rather Charleston

    Fred:
    Charleston?
    Think of what you might be

    Adele:
    I'd rather Charleston

    Fred:
    Charleston?
    I'm disappointed in you and your ways

    Adele:
    I'm double-jointed
    There's no sensation like syncopation

    Fred:
    Will you let me know why

    Adele:
    I'd rather Charleston

    Fred:
    Charleston?
    That's the sort of thing I would never do
    So, leave it behind and give your mind to something new

    Adele:
    I'd rather Charleston
    Fred: (Oh no), Charleston, Charleston with you

    Fred:
    Your way of living soon will be giving me a pain
    You just repeat that same refrain
    You use your feet and not your brain
    Something has got you
    I don't know what you hope to gain
    And after all I've done
    It's not much fun to have to have a Sister who's
    Got her brain in her dancing shoes

    Fred:
    So, take a lesson from me

    Adele:
    I'd rather Charleston

    Fred:
    Charleston?
    When you're older you'll see

    Adele:
    I'd rather Charleston
    Fred:
    Charleston?
    The great improvements I looked for in you

    Adele:
    I like improvements
    They make new plastic just like elastic

    Fred:
    Say, don't you ever keep cool

    Adele:
    I'd rather Charleston

    Fred:
    Oh no, that's the sort of thing silly people do
    Hey, haven't you read what Lincoln said in sixty-two

    Adele:
    Ye-a-a-a-h-h-h!

    Fred:
    Well, what'd he say?

    Adele:
    I'd rather Charleston
    Fred: (Oh no), Charleston, Charleston with you

    Fred: Not me

    I told you, baby, how I feel
    One word can close this deal
    Baby, be my queen of hearts
    Please gimme that love you've got
    A-won'tcha say yes? Don'tcha say no?
    Make me feel good, kiddio

    Maybe I'm just wastin' time
    Can't get you off my mind
    You could make me feel so good
    I know you could if you only would
    A-won'tcha say yes? Don'tcha say no?
    Make me feel good, kiddio

    I wrote you a six-page letter
    I called you on the phone
    But you started talkin' 'bout the weather
    Kiddio, don'tcha know that's wrong?

    I can't stand this playin' 'round
    Help me up, don't let me down
    Kiss me baby, tell me so
    If you love me, let me know
    A-won'tcha say yes? Don'tcha say no?
    Make me feel good, kiddio

    I wrote you a six-page letter
    I even called you on the phone

    Kiddio, don'tcha know that's wrong?

    I can't stand this playin' 'round
    Help me up, don't let me down
    A-kiss me baby, tell me so
    If you love me, let me know

    Two Women
    Composer(s): Bob Lind
    Performer(s): Bob Lind



    Diana says, "Man, that shirt
    Brings out the blue in your eyes"
    She tells you the things you say
    Are such a welcome surprise
    Sarah says, "Jesus Christ
    Do we have to hear that story again?
    Can't you pick up around you?
    I'm not your maid
    Is it too much to ask?
    Put a coaster under that glass"

    Diana looks in your eyes
    And sees there's somebody there
    Sarah can only see the clothes
    You left on the chair
    Diana brushing by, her fingers
    Tingling your neck, triggers a memory
    You start reaching back for the day
    Sarah used to touch you that way

    You twist your wedding ring
    And wonder whether everything
    You used to think was right could now be wrong
    But buddy, don't kid yourself
    If you move on to something else
    Diana will be Sarah before long

    Sarah picks up the kids
    And brings in the groceries and bills
    She knows you and loves you anyway
    Like no one else ever will
    Diana will always call from the shadows
    Promising more
    Either way, it's not easy
    Every step, either road that you take
    You're gonna carry the choices you make

    I'd Rather Be With You
    Composer(s): Frank Comstock; Roy Alfred
    Performer(s): Doris Day & male singer



    Male Singer:
    If I could sit at a table with Grable
    Ride in a car with Lamarr
    If I could dance with a sweet chick like Garbo or Dietrich
    I'd rather be with you

    If I could just cuddle nearer to Shearer
    Go on a tour with Lamour
    If I could show off the muscle to Rosalind Russell
    I'd rather be with you

    It won't be Adrian who put's you in clothes
    You don't do Maxie Factor to powder your nose
    And Grauman's theatre doesn't have the prints of your toes
    And without the help of Zanuck you're a panic

    If I could go to a parson with Garson
    Do just as well with Blondell
    If I could share a veranda with Carmen Miranda
    I'd rather be with you

    Doris:
    If I could wear something lacy for Tracy
    Let Ray Milland hold my hand
    If I could sip a Bacardi with Laurel and Hardy
    I'd rather be with you

    If I could go in a trailer with Taylor
    Be all alone with Tyrone
    If I could take all my chances with Errol's romances
    I'd rather be with you

    You're not with RKO, but still you're OK
    You'll never win an Oscar for actin' some day
    But you've got hair that's all your own and not a toupee
    And you'll never need a double if there's trouble

    If I could stay in a stupor with Cooper
    Possibly lure Vic Mature
    If I could fly to Sumatra with Frankie Sinatra
    I'd rather be with you

    Male Singer:
    If I could go to Havana with Lana

    Doris:
    Or not have a care for Astaire

    Male Singer:
    If I could roll out the barrel with Madeleine Carroll
    I'd rather be with you

    Doris:
    If I could just go and wander with Fonda
    Send me to stray Joel McCrea
    And if I thought I was able to get Mister Gable
    I'd rather be with you

    Male Singer:
    You've got the talent that they never could scout
    You don't need Technicolor in case you're in doubt
    For you are really at your best with all the lights out
    And they may not give you billin' but you're drillin'

    Doris:
    If I could do somethin' loony with Rooney
    Get in a brawl with Jon Hall

    Male Singer:
    If I could say what's disturbin' to Deanna Durbin
    I'd rather be with you

    Both:
    I'd rather be with you

    There's a new generation
    Who could ever have guessed
    All across every nation
    And I must confess

    When I was just a young lad
    I wished I could be playin' the blues
    Now it's the twenty-first century
    We've come a long way

    Ev'ry kid's got those heroes
    They're learnin' to play
    To make a contribution
    Look at all kids with the blues

    When you hear that click
    You better catch up quick
    Ain't that a kick
    We got the kids turnin' on to the blues

    (Instrumental Break)

    It's the same at every concert
    Check out the front row
    Parents with their children, watchin' them grow
    Now they're motivated, won't be long before they're playin' the blues

    When you hear that click
    You better catch up quick
    Now ain't that a kick
    We got the kids turnin' on to the blues

    (Instrumental Break)

    It's a heavy situation
    Don't need a new drug
    The kids of our nation catchin' that bug
    All around the world I hear the sound of kids playin' the blues

    When you hear that click
    You better catch up quick
    Now ain't that a kick
    We got the kids turnin' on to the blues

    Now ain't that a kick
    We got the kids turnin' on to the blues
    Ain't that a kick
    We got the kids turnin' on to the blues

    One part's white, the other is tan
    I bought 'em down at Tom McAn
    Now don't you step on my two-tone shoes
    I'll give you a bruise if you step on my shoes

    I went to a dance at the Cimarron
    I danced all night with my new shoes on
    I durn near danced myself to death
    The tongues in my shoes was a-pantin' for breath
    Now don't you step on my two-tone shoes
    Please don't abuse my purty two-tone shoes

    I danced on the bottoms, you danced on the top
    Honey, this stuff has got to stop
    Now don't you step on my two-tone shoes
    You've ruined them now, you great big clumsy cow

    Now honey you look so nice and neat
    Where did you get them great big feet
    When we're dancin' all alone
    Leave them combat boots at home
    Now don't you step on my two-tone shoes
    Can't you see your feet are killin' me

    Now tell me, Alice, was it malice
    When you stepped upon my callus
    My two-tones, I wore 'em plumb full of holes
    The tops are shot, have mercy on my soles

    Kids Of The Baby Boom
    Composer(s): David Bellamy
    Performer(s): The Bellamy Brothers



    Our daddys won the war and came home to our moms
    They gave them so much love that all us kids were born
    We all grew up on Mickey Mouse and hula-hoops
    Then we all bought BMW's and brand new pickup trucks
    And we watched John Kennedy die one afternoon
    Kids of the baby boom

    It was a time of new prosperity in the USA
    All the fortunate offsprings never had to pay
    We had sympathy for the devil and the Rolling Stones
    Then we got a little older, we found Haggard and Jones
    A generation screaming for more room
    Kids of the baby boom

    Kids of the baby boom, we had freedom, we had money
    Baby boom, here in the land of milk and honey
    Counting our chickens way too soon
    Kids of the baby boom

    Now we all can run computers and we all can dance
    We all have Calvin Klein written on our underpants
    And at six-o'clock, like robots, we turn on the news
    Watch those third world countries deal out more abuse
    Remember the first man on the moon

    Kids of the baby boom

    Kids of the baby boom, we had freedom, we had money
    Baby boom, here in the land of milk and honey
    Counting our chickens way too soon
    Kids of the baby boom

    As our lives become a capsule they send to the stars
    And our children look at us like we came from Mars
    As the farms disappear and the sky turns black
    We're a nation full of takers, never giving back
    We never stop to think what we consume
    Kids of the baby boom

    Kids of the baby boom, we had freedom, we had money
    Baby boom, here in the land of milk and honey
    Cuonting our chickens way too soon
    Kids of the baby boom

    Our optimism mingles with the doom
    Kids of the baby boom

    2 Years On
    Composer(s): Maurice Gibb - Robin Gibb
    Performer(s): Bee Gees



    One year, two years, time goes by
    People laugh and people cry

    Ev'ry morning the clock strikes eight
    I go to work. I close the gate
    And on my way, I sing a song
    About my wife, where I belong

    If the clouds get together and talk about the weather
    If it's rain they anticipate
    Baby make no mistake
    Yes the storm will break but never me you see

    Two years on
    Two years on
    But only you can see me
    Only you can see me

    For what I've got
    Sir Lancelot was just a dream and I am not
    For I am he with something more
    It's you and I reality

    If the cloud get together and talk about the weather
    If it's rain they anticipate
    Baby, make no mistake
    Yes the storm will break but never me you see

    Two years on
    Two years on
    But only you can see me
    Only you can see me
    Two years on
    Two years on
    Ah...

    I'd Rather Be Me
    Composer(s): Felix Bernard; Eddie Cherkose; Sam Coslow
    Performer(s): Bing Crosby
    and multiple other artists



    I’d rather be me with you than anyone else
    For anyone else would never have you to love
    I’m awfully glad to be just plain little me
    No hero supreme, just someone you’re dreaming of

    If I were Sinatra
    Or someone like Bing
    And you weren’t beside me
    What would it mean, not a thing

    I’d rather be me with you than anyone else
    Somehow I find it more fun
    Just being the one you love

    Oh yes indeed, yes indeed
    I’d rather be me with you than anyone else
    Somehow I find it more fun
    Just being the one you love

    Kijk In De Spiegel
    Composer(s): Jimmy Frey; N. Byl
    Performer(s): Jimmy Frey



    Geef de schuld niet aan een ander
    Als die jou niet meer begrijpt
    Zeg niet hop en je verandert
    Op zo een korte tijd

    Kijk in de spiegel
    Kijk in de spiegel
    Vlak in het gelaat
    Van wie daar voor je staat

    En voordat je durft beweren
    Dat je nooit wat hebt misdaan
    En je van je hele leven
    Geen hart hebt pijn gedaan

    Kijk in de spiegel
    Kijk in de spiegel
    Vlak in het gelaat
    Van wie daar voor je staat

    Iedereen heeft zijn gebreken
    Eigen schuld herken je niet
    Maar indien je eens wil weten
    Hoe een ander je wel ziet

    Zie je steeds dezelfde ogen
    Even vriendelijk en klaar
    Die van eerlijkheid getuigen
    Of die van een huiver lacht

    Kijk in de spiegel
    Kijk in de spiegel
    Vlak in het gelaat
    Van wie daar voor je staat

    Iedereen heeft zijn gebreken
    Eigen schuld herken je niet
    Maar indien je eens wil weten
    Hoe een ander je wel ziet

    Geef de schuld niet aan een ander
    Als die jou niet meer begrijpt
    Zeg niet hop en je verandert
    Op zo een korte tijd

    Kijk in de spiegel
    Kijk in de spiegel
    Vlak in het gelaat
    Van wie daar voor je staat

    Two Ton Tessie (From Tennessee)
    Composer(s): Lou Handman - Roy Turk
    Performer(s): Mickey Guy's Hottentots
    and multiple other artists



    Down in Nashville, Tennessee (Oh yeah)
    There's a sight you oughta see (Oh yeah)
    But as long as you can't get down there
    I'll tell you all, so listen to me

    There's a girl named Tessie Town (Oh yeah)
    And she weighs about four hundred pounds (Oh yeah)
    She's fat and fair, she don't care
    'Cause the boys all hang around

    They call her Two Ton Tessie from Tennessee
    Holds ten sweeties up on her knee
    When she does, all the fun begins
    When they play tennis on her double-chin

    They all answer to her demands
    And bring her tires for wedding bands
    But I just got a little inside tip
    They promised her a nightclub on her hip
    Yeah, Two Ton Tessie from Nashville, Tennessee
    (She's from Tennessee)

    (Ev'ry time she struts around) Uh-huh
    (She puts on an extra pound) Is that right?
    (But it doesn't seem to worry her)
    (The weight is making Tessie reknowned)

    (Is a-trying to reduce)
    (And she's got a good excuse)
    (Fat and fair, but she don't care)
    ('Cause the boys all hang around)

    (They call her) Two Ton Tessie from Tennessee
    Goes in swimming up to her knee
    Once she went in to her neck
    The tide rose up and made the town a wreck

    She was hit on the railroad track
    Engines hit her and bounced right back
    Her appendix had to come out fast
    They couldn't operate, so they had to blast
    On Two Ton Tessie from Nashville, Tennessee
    (She's from Tennessee)

    On a streetcar I heard 'em say
    Six men gave her a seat one day
    All the baseball players have stopped their gym
    They run around Tessie just to stay in trim
    Two ton Tessie from Knoxville, I mean a-Memphis
    Oh-ah, Nashville, Tennessee

    (She's from Tennessee) A-that's right!

    I'd Rather Be Blue Over You (Than Happy With Somebody Else)
    Composer(s): Fred Fisher; Billy Rose
    Performer(s): Barbra Streisand



    I'd rather be blue thinking of you
    I'd rather be blue over you
    Than be happy with somebody else
    I'm crazy about'cha, without'cha
    For you I'm strong
    I can't do without'cha
    Howcha magoucha?
    Don't stay too long
    I need a little ah, bedroom, little oh
    And I'm knocking on wood
    Ah, honey hurry up, hurry up, hurry up
    It's so hard to be good

    I'd rather be blue thinking of you
    I'd rather be blue over you
    Than be happy with somebody else
    Will I be good? Will I be bad?
    Don't be a fool, you fool
    My little flat, I'm turning that
    Into a Sunday school
    While you're away, I'm here to say
    There'll be no iceman there
    Singin' the blues I'm gonna use
    Nothin' but Frigidaire
    I'd rather be blue thinking of you
    I'd rather be blue over you
    Than be happy with somebody else
    Blue over you, I'd rather be blue over you
    Than be hap-hap-hap-happy
    With somebody else

    Kijken Hoe Het Morgen Wordt
    Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot



    Wees stil en blijf nog even
    In dit warme, witte bed
    Luisteren naar het eerste leven
    Nog is de nacht niet weggedreven
    Onze dromen op de tocht gezet

    Nu wordt de kamer licht en kouder
    De slaap was ons alweer te kort
    En jouw gezicht lijkt plotseling ouder
    Terwijl je peinzend over m'n schouder
    Ligt te kijken hoe het morgen wordt

    Jij denkt aan al die uren
    Van werk en haast en vlijt
    Geen tijd voor tedere avonturen
    Tussen de duizend blinde muren
    Van brood en haat en nijd

    De krant ligt in de bus te wachten
    En strakjes ligt die op je bord
    Een droevig ding vol jammerklachten
    Kom, laten we nog even wachten
    En kijken hoe het morgen wordt

    De avond veegt ons samen
    Vermoeid en soms gewond
    We zitten ons verward te schamen
    Verwonderd hoe we zover kwamen
    Dan snoert het eten ons de mond

    Vertrouwen we op loze kreten
    Of is de dag alweer te kort
    We zullen nooit de waarheid weten
    Kom, laten we vandaag vergeten
    Laten we vandaag vergeten
    En kijken hoe het morgen wordt

    Two Teardrops
    Composer(s): Bill Anderson - Steve Wariner
    Performer(s): Steve Wariner; The Countdown Singers



    Two teardrops were floatin' down the river
    One teardrop said to the other
    I'm from the soft blue eyes of a woman in love
    I'm a tear of joy she couldn't carry
    She was so happy she just got married
    I was on her cheek when she wiped me away with her glove
    I could tell from the look on her face she didn't need me
    So I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea

    The other tear said we've got a connection
    I'm a tear of sorrow born of rejection
    I'm from the sad brown eyes of her old flame
    She told him they would be lifelong companions
    Left him with questions and not any answers
    I was on his cheek as he stood there calling her name
    I could tell he had a lot of my friends for company
    So I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea

    Oh the ocean's a little bit bigger tonight
    Two more teardrops somebody cried
    One of them happy and one of them bluer than blue
    The tide goes out and the tide comes in
    And someday they'll be teardrops again
    Released in a moment of pleasure or a moment of pain
    Then they drift on down and ride to the sea again

    Last night I sat in the waiting room
    The nurse walked in and gave me the news
    It's a baby girl and they're both fine
    An old man sittin' not 10 feet away
    Just lost his wife and he said to me
    You've got a brand new angel and I've lost mine
    I guess the good Lord giveth and the good Lord taketh away
    And we both wiped a teardrop from our face

    Oh the ocean's a little bit bigger tonight
    Two more teardrops somebody cried
    One of them happy and one of them bluer than blue
    The tide goes out and the tide comes in
    A whole new circle of life begins
    Where tears are a part of the pleasure and part of the pain
    'Til they drift on down and ride to the sea again

    Two teardrops floatin' down the river
    Two teardrops floatin' down the river

    I’d Rather Be
    Composer(s): Cindy Walker
    Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



    I'd Rather Be in a dirty old jailhouse
    Wearing a ball and a chain
    Than be with a girl who don’t love me
    Chained by a wedding ring

    I'd rather be just an old lonesome hobo
    Riding the rails where they whine
    Than stay with a girl who don’t want me
    And lets me know it all the time

    And so you’re free you can go were you want to
    I wouldn’t stand in you way
    If you don’t want me I don’t want you
    And there’s nothing else left to say

    I'd Rather Be in my grave six feet under
    Shaded by some faithful tree
    Than be with a girl who’s unfaithful
    And that’s what you’d rather be

    Ah Buddy Edmonds now

    And so you’re free you can go were you want to
    I wouldn’t stand in you way
    If you don’t want me I don’t want you
    And there’s nothing else left to say

    Because I'd Rather Be in my grave six feet under
    Shaded by some faithful tree
    Than be with a girl who’s unfaithful
    And that’s what you’d rather be
