Alone (Why Must I Be Alone) Composer(s): Morty Craft - Selma Craft Performer(s): The Four Seasons and multiple other artists
Alone, why must I be alone I've spent so many hours with you How can I be alone Alone, why must I dream alone Our dreams where made for us to share How can I dream alone There's such a thing as forgiving So why can't you forgive There's such a thing as forgetting Can't you forgive and forget Apart, why must we be apart Let's put our hearts together And never be alone There's such a thing as forgiving So why can't you forgive There's such a thing as forgetting Can't you forgive and forget Apart, why must we be apart Let's put our hearts together And never be alone
If I Could Teach My Chihuahua To Sing Composer(s): Joe Ely; Kimmie Rhodes; Gabe Rhodes Performer(s): Joe Ely
O weary me I'm broke as a man can be My bills are all due, I got holes in my shoe Bill collectors, they won't let me sleep
If I could teach my chihuahua to sing I could make cash registers ring What a sight to behold her, she could sit on my shoulder And whimper in harmony
If I could teach my chihuahua to sing What a wonderful world it would be I could take her to the border and teach her how to order Margaritas and fajitas Senoritas would bring
The circus is coming to town The telephone lines are down While the tight rope they're stretchin', my puppy is fetchin' The tin cans all scattered around
If I could teach my chihuahua to sing The whole world would live in peace Instead of them fightin', everyone would be writin' Love letters to Senators and Police
If I could teach my chihuahua to sing What a brave new world it would be I could take her to China, on a big jet airliner And bark in the park 'till the freedom bells ring
If I could teach my chihuahua to sing There'd be no more sorrow and grief I could take her to the border and teach her how to order Guacamole and posole, and feel holy and free!
Keep It Under Your Hat From "Calamity Jane" Composer(s): Sammy Fain; Paul Francis Webster Performer(s): Allyn McLerie; Susannah Fellows
Well, now, if you've got a cutie who's a real sweet patootie better keep it under your hat Just remember curiousity in fables of old Killed the curious cat
Supposin' you love a laddie who's a sweet sugar daddy Better take in the welcoming mat Remember there's a dozen dolls for every Dan You're not the only sweet pea in the can
So, if you wanna know the way to keep your man Keep it under your hat Keep it under your hat!
If you wanna know the way to keep your man Keep it under your hat Keep it under your hat!
I Know Now Composer(s): Al Dubin - Harry Warren Performer(s): Guy Lombardo
I know now, you're the only one I know now, I'm the lonely one I had to learn how a heart can yearn How tears can burn, with on one to turn to I know now, that I can't forget I can't for I don't know how I guess I never knew how I needed you But sweetheart, I know now
If I Could Talk To The Animals From "Dr. Dolittle" Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
If we could talk to the animals, just imagine it Chatting to a chimp in chimpanzee Imagine talking to a tiger, chatting to a cheetah What a neat achievement that would be
If we could talk to the animals, learn their languages Maybe take an animal degree We'd study elephant and eagle, buffalo and beagle Alligator, guinea pig, and flea
We would converse in polar bear and python And we could curse in fluent kangaroo If people asked us, can you speak in rhinoceros We'd say, "Of courserous, can't you?"
If we could talk to the animals, learn their languages Think of all the things we could discuss If we could walk with the animals, talk with the animals Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals And they could squeak and squawk and speak and talk to us
Keep It Warm Composer(s): Howard Kaylan; Mark Volman Performer(s): The Turtles
Write another song for the money Something they can sing, not so funny Money in the bank to keep us warm
Stick another grape in the juicer Or fill your guts with grease and get get looser You are what you eat, so eat it warm
Roll another joint for the Gipper Get the Gipper high, he gets hipper Stick it in his mouth and keep him warm
Elect another jerk to the White House Gracie Slick is losing her door mouse Take her off the streets and keep her warm
Fight another war if they make you Squeal on a friend or they'll take you The future's in your lap, so keep it warm...
Warm, here in your arms Safe from all harm, where I belong Warm, cozy and calm, another Dawn together warm....
My woodie's broken down by the beach now And TM's gotten far out of reach now Tell the Mahareesh to keep it warm
George is suing Paul, suing Ringo and immigration wants John and Yoko All they need is love, to keep them warm
Kill another whale with your power Or shoot a bunch a kids from a tower Snipe them in there cars Blood keeps them warm
Or
Make a better world from the old one Make yourself a baby and hold one Hold her in your arms and keep her warm Keep her warm, Keep her warm Keep her warm...........
I'd Like You For Christmas Composer(s): Bobby Troup Performer(s): Julie London and multiple other artists
I'd like you for Christmas Please make my wish come true Cos I'd trim trees and deck the hallways If I know you'd be mine for always I won't be blue on Christmas If old Saint Nick comes through And he remembers that I'd like you for Christmas New Years, Easter, too...
If I Could Talk To Love Composer(s): Myrna Smith; Carl Wilson Performer(s): Carl Wilson
(Have it your way) We toy with love but we play the futile game One heart giving all and the other feeling pain I put myself into you hands-oo From this moment on I make no demands And if one could talk to love, I`d say Have it your way love, have it your way
What us the sense in giving all you feel If with it all you can`t make love know it`s real Will love forever run from me-oo If it`s to be, then it`s to be But if I could talk to love, I`d say Have it your way love, have it your way
Your way I put myself into your hands So have it your way love, have it your way Oh--love--have it your way It will happen--some what may Love have it your way There`s no other way to play Love have it your way
It's A Breeze Composer(s): Joe Kentridge Performer(s): Matt Monro
When you hear a band that's swinging Or you dig Sinatra singing When the duke is highland flinging It's a breeze
If you're in the opera set Go to first nights at the Met Hey man it's a gas It's a ringadingding It's a breeze
When you're in a jet high flying Or you've backed a horse that's trying If the fish you've caught is frying It's a breeze
When you've slammed a hole in one Bagged a tiger with your gun Hey man it's a gas It's a ringadingding It's a breeze
A trip to Europe on the liner France A holiday Another new romance But If it's love you've really craving With a home a hearth a haven Then it's time you started saving It's a breeze
When the jackpot you have hit And you tell your boss I quit Hey man it's a gas It's a ringadingding It's a breeze
When you're sailing on the Med in your new yacht You couldn't give a damn No matter what But When you've found the ball is over And you're tired of being a rover And you still can live in clover It's a breeze
When you dig a chick that's got it And the marriage ties' been knotted Hey man it's a gas It's a ringadingding
Hey man it's a gas It's a ringadingding It's a breeze
If I Could Reach You Composer(s): Randy McNeill Performer(s): The Fifth Dimension and multiple other artists
Oh no, don't go it's hours till dawn And there's no one who'd rather be with you I know you know other girls like me I let you take my love Knowing you don't love me
But if I could reach you some way If I knew the magic it would take To love you good enough on the outside And make you feel it on the inside Maybe I could make you stay
If I could reach you
The dark is getting light And you're dressed to go And never said a word about tomorrow
But if I could reach you some way If I knew the magic it would take To love you good enough on the outside And make you feel it on the inside Maybe I could make you stay
Keep Me From Blowing Away Composer(s): Paul Craft Performer(s): Linda Ronstadt; T. Graham Brown; Jerry Lee Lewis; The Seldom Scene; Charlie Sizemore
Well I spent my whole lifetime In a world where the sunshine Finds excuses for not hangin' 'round I squandered emotions On the slightest of notions And the first easy loving I found But soon all the good times The gay times and play times Like colors run together and fade Oh Lord if you hear me Touch me and hold me And keep me from blowing away
There's times when I trembled When my mind remembered The days that just crumbled away With nothing to show But these lines that I know Are beginning to show in my face
Oh Lord if you're listening I know I'm no Christian And I ain't got much coming to me So send down some sunshine Throw out your lifeline And keep me from blowing away
Oh Lord if you hear me Touch me and hold me And keep me from blowing away
It's funny how you loved me, then forgot so suddenly It's funny to everyone but me (It's the talk of the town) They told me this would happen, now they're laughing secretly It's funny to everyone but me (gosh, he's crying again) I should shrug my shoulders and say, good riddance to a bad affair But how can I do, but my head tells me to When my heart tells me how much I care? It's so funny I still love you, it's the joke of the century It's funny to everyone but me (I got the right to think of you) It's so funny I still love you, it's the joke of the century Ah but it's funny to everyone but me
Keep Me From Harm Composer(s): Peter Murphy; Paul Statham Performer(s): Peter Murphy
Health is all I'm asking for Love is all I need Hope is what I'm asking for Lay me down to sleep It was then that I lost you Was dragged there too Under a sea of mystery Died there along with you Love me hold me keep me from harm Love me hold me keep me from harm Guess you found your own root Dug into that fast heart Flew without wing or pinion Now you orbit the stars Now haunted and weary Your vision creeps I need a clear water I need a release Love me hold me keep me from harm Love me hold me keep me from harm
My Shining Hour Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Johnny Mercer First performance/First recording: Joan Leslie & Freddie Slack and his Orch./Glen Gray and The Casa Loma Orch. - 1943 Covered by multiple other artists
This moment, this minute And each second in it Will leave a glow upon the sky And as time goes by, it will never die
This will be my shining hour Calm and happy and bright In my dreams, your face will flower Through the darkness of the night
Like the lights of home before me Or an angel, watching o'er me This will be my shining hour 'til I'm with you again
(like the lights of home before me) (or an angel watching o'er me) This will be my shining hour 'til I'm with you again
If I Could Have Your Loving Performer(s): Sutherland Brothers & Quiver
If I can have your loving Then I would want for nothing else Deep in the night, I keep you Happy to have you by myself In my heart Like a diamond in the dark If I could have your loving And if I could have your dreams Something to keep in touch with you Seeing them in my head Helping me all the long night through In my heart Just like we never been apart Oh, if I could have your dream Everybody knows There's not much you can do in life Without someone to help you through And everybody sees There's no where you can go in life Without somewhere to lead you to Oh, everybody knows There's not much you can do in life Without someone to help you through And everybody sees There's no where you can go in life Without somewhere to lead you to Ooh, ooh So if I could have your loving Then I will want for nothing else Deep in the night I keep you Happy to have you by myself In my heart Just like a diamond in the dark Oh, if I could have your loving If I could have your loving If I could have your loving
Keep Me In The Dark Composer(s): Nick Rhodes; Simon Lebon; Roger Taylor Performer(s): Arcadia
When the evening sunlight fingers Stretch across the floor Cover up your eye with feathers Softly close the door Take me in your heavy lips Take me where the shadows slide Lying with you blindfold secrets Turning fast and loose The lacy intrigue of this weekend should not be abused You can take me where you want Could you take me all the time
Away..wait a little longer Don't go too far I wouldn't like I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark
Tender is the truth I'm tasting Watching you dictates Heady nights of sleepless wasting A face I can't escape We could wave the world goodbye To all of the boys "cheerio"
Away yeah..wait a little longer Don't go too far I wouldn't like I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark
Help me now I'm slipping deeper Tell me what to say When I push you call me closer Each time you turn a way Something inside you cries But is it something I'll never find?
Away yeah..wait a little longer Don't go too far I wouldn't like I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark
Away yeah..oh wait a little longer Before we go too far I wouldn't like I wouldn't like to think You were keeping me in the dark

Marvin: If I could build my whole world around you, darlin' First I'd put heaven by your side Pretty flowers would grow wherever you walk, honey And over your head would be the bluest sky And I'd take every drop of rain And wash all your troubles away I'd have the whole world built around you And that would be all right, oh yes it would
Tammi: If I could build my whole world around you I'd make your eyes the morning sun I'd put so much love where there is sorrow I'd put joy where there's never been love And I'd give my love to you To keep for the rest of your life And happiness would surely be ours And that would be all right, oh yes it would
Both: Doo doo doo doo...
Marvin: Oh, if I could build my whole world around you I'd give you the greatest gift any woman could possess T: And I'd step into this world you've created And give you true love and tenderness And there'd be something new with every tomorrow To make this world better as days go by
(repeat): Marvin: If I could build my whole world around you Tammi: If I could build my whole world around you Both: Then that would be all right, oh yeah
