Oh Joe, With Your Fiddle And Bow You Stole My Heart Away
Oh Joe, With Your Fiddle And Bow You Stole My Heart Away Composer(s): William Tracey; Walter Donaldson
Malinda White most every night Took in a ragtime cabaret She had a beau, his name was Joe And he was hired there to play a ragtime violin To his raggy swing they'd sing The latest songs, the whole night long And to the jingle of the dimes Upon the floor he'd play some more He'd rag the chorus fifty times Malinda White would stay till the break of day she's say
When she was blue Malinda knew Just how to drive the blues away She'd think of Joe and quickly go Where she could hear her sweetie play a ragtime melody Then contented she would be His music sweet was sure a treat And to each syncopated note The people there upon the chairs Just kept a rockin' like a boat Each time she caught his eye Lindy White would sigh then cry
Go on and rag a little upon your fiddle I love your harmony The tunes you play every night No Master ever could write Oh! there ain't much to it, but the way you do it I just can't help but say Oh, Joe with your fiddle and bow You went and stole my heart away
Oh How The Years Go By Composer(s): Simon Climie; Will Jennings Performer(s): Vanessa Williams; Marie Evans; Amy Grant; Shelonda
In our times of trouble We only had ourselves Nobody else No one there to save us We had to save ourselves
And when the storms came through They found me and you Back to back together And when the sun would shine It was yours and mine Yours and mine forever
[Chorus:] Oh how the years go by Oh how the love brings tears to my eyes All through the changes the sould never dies We fight, we laugh, we cry As the years go by
There were times we stumbled They thought they had us down But we came around How we rolled and rambled We got lost and we got found Now we're back on solid ground, yeah
We took everything All our times would bring In this world of dangers 'Cause when your heart is strong You know you're not alone In this world of strangers
[Chorus]
And if we lose our way Any night or day Well we'll always be Where we should be I'm there for you And I know you're there for me
Oh How Happy Composer(s): Edwin Starr Performer(s): Shades Of Blue; and various other artists
Oh, how happy You have made me Oh, how happy You have made me
I have kissed your lips a thousand times And more times than I can count I have called you mine You have stood by me in my darkest hour, and [repeat chorus]
In our years together, we have had stormy weather But our love has been so strong that somehow we've carried on [repeat chorus]
(Oh, how happy) oh, how happy (Oh, how happy) oh, how happy (Oh, how happy) you..... (You have made me) you have made me [repeat to fade]
Oh Helen Composer(s): Chas. R. McCarron; Carey Morgan Performer(s): Ian Whitcomb
Willie Meek tho' good at grammar When he'd speak he'd always stammer And when he tried, He'd be mortified
He'd call on a girl named Helen, most ev'ry day He'd start sighin' like a dyin' calf and then he'd say
Oh H-H-Hel- Oh H-H-Hel- Oh Helen please be mine Your f-f-feat- your f-f-feat- your features are divine I s-s-swear I s-s-swear I swear I will be true Oh D-D-Dam- Oh D-D-Dam- Oh Damsel I love you
Helen's daddy knocked him silly Ripping mad he went for Willie Thought him profane, nearly went insane But when Willie Meek explained it It was all right
Now her father doesn't bother, when he says each night You s-s-simp- you s-s-simp- you simply are divine You m-m-mud- you m-m-mud- you muddle me it's true
Oh H-H-Hel- Oh H-H-Hel- Oh Helen please be mine Your f-f-feat- your f-f-feat- your features are divine I s-s-swear I s-s-swear I swear I will be true Oh D-D-Dam- Oh D-D-Dam- Oh Damsel I love you
Oh Girl Composer(s): Eugene Record Performer(s): The Chi-Lites
Oh, girl I'd be in trouble if you left me now 'Cause I don't know where to look for love I just don't know how
Oh, girl How I depend on you To give me love when I need it Right on time you would always be
All my friends call me a fool They say, "let the woman take care of you" So I try to be hip and think like the crowd But even the crowd can't help me now, oh-oh-oh
Oh, girl Tell me, what am I gonna do I know I got a guilty face Girl, I feel so out of place, oh yeah
(I don't know where to go, who to see, yeah
Oh, girl I guess I better go I can save myself a lot of useless tears Girl I've gotta get away from here
Oh, girl Pain will double if you leave me now 'Cause I don't know where to look for love And I don't, I don't know how

Oh Baby Doll Composer(s): Chuck Berry Performer(s): Chuck Berry; The Crawdaddys; The Pretty Things
Oh Baby Doll! when bells ring out the summer free Oh baby doll will it end for you and me? We'll sing our old Alma Mater and think of things that used to be
I remember it so well back when the weather was cool we used to have so much fun when we were walking to school if we stopped off to hear the latest songs they sing and we just make it in before the bells would ring
Oh Baby Doll! etc...
When the teacher was gone that's when we'd have a ball we use to dance and play all up and down the hall we had a portable radio we was ballin' the jack We'd be all back in order when the teacher got back
Oh Babe, What Would You Say? Composer(s): E.S. Smith Performer(s): Hurricane Smith; and various other artists
Have I a hope or half a chance To even ask if I could dance with you? You-hoo! Would you greet me or politely turn away? Would there suddenly be sunshine on a cold and rainy day? Oh, Babe! What would you say?
For there are you, sweet lollipop Here am I with such a lot to say, hey, hey! Just to walk with you along the Milky Way To caress you through the night time, bring you flowers every day..... Oh, Babe! What would you say?
Guess, though, Baby, I know I know I could be so in love with you! And I know that I could make you love me too And if I could only hear you say you do, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh! But anyway, what would you say?
(Instrumental Break)
Guess, though, Baby, I know I know I could be so in love with you! And I know that I could make you love me too And if I could only hear you say you do, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh! But anyway, what would you say?
Ogni Volta Composer(s): Antonello Venditti Performer(s): Antonello Venditti
Ogni volta che parlo di te tu fai parte o non parte di me ogni volta che piango per te tu fai parte o non parte di noi E mille nuovi amori cercherò per non amarti più ma mai nessuna al mondo sarai tu E stanotte la passi con lui ma ogni cosa ti parla di noi ogni frase, ogni gesto che fai è già stato vissuto da noi Chiudi gli occhi e pensi che le sue mani, la sua pelle no, non sono me Ogni volta che parli di me faccio parte o non parte di te ogni volta che piangi per me faccio parte o non parte di noi A tutti i nostri amici tu dirai di non amarmi più ma solo io saprò a chi pensi tu voglio te voglio te, voglio te perché tu, tu fai parte di me voglio te, voglio te, voglio te fino all'ultimo sguardo all'ultimo istante all'ultimo giorno che avrò
Ogni Favola E Un Gioco Composer(s): Edoardo Bennato Performer(s): Edoardo Bennato
Ogni favola è un gioco che si fa con il tempo ed è vera soltanto a metà la puoi vivere tutta in un solo momento è una favola è non è realtà
Ogni favola è un gioco che finisce se senti tutti vissero felici e contenti forse esiste da sempre non importa l'età perché è vera soltanto a metà!...
Ogni favola è un gioco è una storia inventata ed è vera soltanto a metà e fa il giro del mondo e chissà dove è nata è una favola, e non è realtà
Ogni favola è un gioco se ti fermi a giocare dopo un po' lasciala andare non la puoi ritrovare in nessuna città perché è vera soltanto a metà!... Universi sconosciuti anni luce da esplorare astronavi della mente verso altre verità!
Ogni favola è un gioco che si fa con il tempo ed è vera soltanto a metà la puoi vivere tutta in un solo momento è una favola e non è realtà!
Ogni favola è un gioco se ti fermi a giocare dopo un po' lasciala andare non la puoi ritrovare in nessuna città perché è vera soltanto a metà!...
Ogen Kunnen Niet Liegen Composer(s): K. Lavoie; N. Bijl Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Reeds een jaar de tijd gaat vlug Nu zie ik jou terug Jij wordt rood en ik word bleek Maar jij zegt dat het jou niets geeft En jij lacht maar veel te luid En je hart spreekt je niet uit Als je zegt ik leef tevree Want je ogen doen niet mee
Ogen kunnen niet liegen Want je ogen vertellen Wat je lippen ontkennen Ogen kunnen niet liegen Pas op je woorden want je ogen liegen niet
Iemand die je niet goed kent Denkt dat je gelukkig bent Mij maak je geen dromen wijs Want je vreugde is geveinsd
Speel niet meer met ons geluk Ik wil jou zo graag terug En ik zie ook aan je blik Dat je hetzelfde wenst als ik

Off The Record Composer(s): George M. Cohan Performer(s): James Cagney
It's really a wonderful job For fellows like George, Abe and me, too It's great to shake hands with the mod And hold every kid on your knee, too Ev'ry word that I speak goes into the headlines When I speak all the papers hold their deadlines But I've found a way of dropping a hint Or a glint of the truth That the boys cannot print For instance... For instance...
When I was only a governor and just a good-time Charlie A certain party came to me - he said his name was Farley Don't print it It's strictly off the record He sat right down and talked to me till I was in a stupor And ended up by selling me the works of Fenimore Cooper Don't print it It's strictly off the record I said, "you're quite a salesman You've been sent here by the fates If you can sell these dreary books Which ev'rybody hates Then maybe you can sell me the whole United States!" But that's off the record
My messages to the Congress are a lot of Boola-boola I'm not so fond of Bankhead, but I'd love to meet Tallulah Don't print it It's strictly off the record I sit up in my bedroom reading books like Silas Marnner and Sears and Roebuck catalogues to get away from Garner Don't print it It's strictly off the record If I'm not re-elected and worst comes to the worst I'll never die of hunger and I'll never die of thirst I've got one boy with Du Pont and another one with Hearst But that's off the record
When I go up to Hyde park it is not just for the ride there It's not that I love Hyde park, but I love to park and hide there Don't print that It's strictly off the record Oh, sing a song of Boulder Dam, but what's a little song worth? We'll use it to throw razor blades, and maybe Alice Longworth Don't print it It's strictly off the record And now I'd like to talk about some folks I used to know Mr. John L. Lewis and His famous C.I.O. "Frankie and Johnnie were sweethearts" But that's off the record
My speeches on the radio have made me quite a hero I only have to say "My friends" and stocks go down to zero Don't print it It's strictly off the record The radio officials say that I'm the leading fellow Jack Benny Can be President and I'll go on for Jell-O Don't print it It's strictly off the record It's pleasant at the White House, but I'll tell you how I feel The food is something terrible - just sauerkraut and veal If Eleanor would stay at home I'd get a decent mean But that's off the record
Off Night Backstreet Composer(s): Joni Mitchell Performer(s): Joni Mitchell; David Lahm
Maybe I'm just kidding myself when I say I love you I don't know Loving without trusting You get--frostbite and sunstroke I wish I felt nothing! You pimp--laughing and strutting her to my chartered seat Your old off night back street
It's been stinger to stinger, darling It's been heart to heart You still keep me from finishing Any new love I start Now she's moved in with you She's keeping your house neat And your sheets sweet And I'm your off night back street
I can feel your fingers Feeling my face There are some lines you put there And some you erase Maybe I'm just dramatizing I don't care It's home--it can be heaven When we play fair But these sentimental journeys Late at night-- High in some back room you're calling me To be your off night back street
You give me such pleasure You bring me such pain Who left her long black hair In our bathtub drain?
Off And Running Composer(s): Carole Bayer Sager; Toni Wine Performer(s): Lesley Gore; Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders
No matter what you do, no matter what you say I've had enough of you; I'm gonna break way I'm off and I'm runnin' just as far as I can go I've had it up to here and I want out
I'd rather get my kicks; I'd rather have me fun Ain't gonna take your tricks; my life has just begun Well baby, I'm off and I'm runnin' just as far as I can go I've had it up to here and I want out
Took my love for granted & you pushed your luck too far Well, you play things underhanded & now I know just what you are So baby, I'm off and I'm runnin' just as far as I can go I've had it up to here and I want out, yeah
(instrumental)
No matter what you do, oh no matter what you say I've had enough of you; I'm gonna break way Oh baby I'm off and I'm runnin' just as far as I can go I've had it up to here and I want out
(repeat & fade) Yes I am off and I'm runnin' just as far as I can go I've had it up to here and I want out
Het mooie van de zon is dat de dag ermee begon Het aangename van een dame is
dat ze niet alleen een vrouw is Maar voornamelijk een dame En nog mooier dan dit alles bij elkaar Is een mooi meisje van veertien jaar
't Is toch goed zoals het is of niet soms En waarom dan niet als ik mag vragen Of had u soms iets anders nog gewenst
Het mooie van de maan is dat je hem nooit ziet ondergaan Het aardige van jou is dat je jongen bent of meisje Een man, misschien een vrouw En nog mooier dan dit alles bij elkaar Zijn de 365 dagen van het jaar
't Is toch goed zoals het is of niet soms Wat is er van uw dienst, u zoekt het zelf maar uit En jij, weet je wat je doet, je ziet maar
't Is toch goed zoals het is of niet soms Wat is er van uw dienst, u zoekt het zelf maar uit En jij, weet je wat je doet, je ziet maar
Oei, Oei, Oei Composer(s): Peter Koelewijn Performer(s): Johan Cruijff
Oei, oei, oei dat was me weer een loei Het was net of je zomaar uit je schoenen woei Oei, oei, oei dat was me weer een loei Heb je dat gezien Die tellen we voor tien Jongens wat een loei Oei, oei, oei
We gingen naar het boksen kijken van een verre neef Wat kreeg die jongen klappen want die ander was op dreef Toen kwam die derde ronde en die werd mijn neef fataal Zijn gympjes onder op de mat en hij lag in de zaal
Oei, oei, oei dat was me weer een loei Het was net of je zomaar uit je schoenen woei Oei, oei, oei dat was me weer een loei Heb je dat gezien Die tellen we voor tien Jongens wat een loei Oei, oei, oei
En na de wedstrijd gingen wij met onze neef op sjouw We hoopten dat hij zo zijn blauwe oog vergeten zou Maar in een zaakje riep hij dat er dubbel werd geteld De ober haalde uit en zei: Dit is je wisselgeld
Oei, oei, oei dat was me weer een loei Het was net of je zomaar uit je schoenen woei Oei, oei, oei dat was me weer een loei Heb je dat gezien Die tellen we voor tien Jongens wat een loei Oei, oei, oei
Toen was de lol eraf en hebben wij met man en macht Onze arme neef maar meteen naar huis gebracht Maar zijn echtgenote wachtte woedend in de gang Dit was de mooiste wedstrijd en wij zaten eerste rang
Oei, oei, oei dat was me weer een loei Het was net of je zomaar uit je schoenen woei Oei, oei, oei dat was me weer een loei Heb je dat gezien Die tellen we voor tien Jongens wat een loei Oei, oei, oei
Oedipus Rex Composer(s): Tom Lehrer Performer(s): Tom Lehrer; Evy Mayer
From The Bible to the popular songs There's on theme that we find all along With all the things we hail as good The most sublime is motherhood
There once was an whom so it seems Once carried this ideal to extremes He loved his mother and she loved him And yet his story is rather grim
There once was a man named Oedipus Rex You may have heard about his odd complex His name appears in Freud's index Cause he loved his mother
His rivals used to say quite a bit That as a monarch he was quite unfit But still in all they had to admit That he loved his mother
Yes, he loved his mother like no other He daughter was his sister And his son was his brother One thing on which you can depend is He sure knew who a boy's best friend is
When he found what he had done He tore his eyes out one-by-one A tragic end for a loyal son Who loved his mother
So be sweet and and kind to mother Now and then have a chat About her candy-coloured blossoms Or a brand new hat But P'raps you'd better let it go at that
Or you might end up with a quite complex, Complex And you may end up like Oedipus I'd rather marry a duck-billed platypus Than end up like old Oedipus Rex!
