Midnight Man
Composer(s): Dickey Betts; Warren Haynes
Performer(s): The Allman Brothers Band



Got my snake skin britches, alligator shoes
money in my pocket, and a Memphis attitude
Wear my downtown Stetson with a silver on the crown
when I get started rolling baby, there ain't no slowing me down
I'm your midnight man, guaranteed to love you like nobody can
I'm your midnight man, if you don't know by now, somehow I'm gonna make you understand
I'm your midnight man and I love you till the daylight babe
Got my six shooter, gonna shoot it up in the air
if it feels real good, I might shoot it just everywhere
Got my best mojo, and my hoochie coochie too
gonna put it all together gonna get after you
I'm your midnight man, guaranteed to love you like nobody can
I'm your midnight man, if you don't know by now, somehow I'm gonna make you understand
I'm your midnight man and I love you till the daylight babe
One thing's for certain since I been foolin' with you
my reputation's hurtin' and I don't know what to do
All of my little downtown girls, say I'm wasting time
there ain't no use to fight it, I just can't get you outta my mind
I'm your midnight man, guaranteed to love you like nobody can
I'm your midnight man, if you don't know by now, somehow I'm gonna make you understand
I'm your midnight man, and I love you till the daylight babe
Hey, midnight, midnight man

Orange Blossom Lane
Composer(s): Peter de Rose;
Nick A. Kenny; Mitchell Parish
Performer(s): Glenn Miller;
Kay Kyser; Claude Thornhill



When I kissed you in Orange Blossom Lane
I could hear this heart of mine sing a refrain
I remember the moon was on the wane
It was time to say goodbye
And our song became a sigh
Where are the blossoms that hung on the bough?
Where are the love songs and where are you now?
I'll be waiting till you come back again
Just to kiss you in Orange Blossom Lane

Midnight Lullaby
Composer(s): Tom Waits
Originally performed by: Tom Waits
Covered by various other artists



Sing a song of sixpence, pocket full of rye
Hush-a bye my baby, no need to be crying
You can burn the midnight oil with me as long as you will
Stare out at the moon upon the windowsill, and dream...

Sing a song of sixpence, pocket full of rye
Hush-a bye my baby, no need to be crying
There's dew drops on the window sill, gumdrops in your head
Slipping into dream land, you're nodding your head, so dream...

Dream of West Virginia, or of the British Isles
'Cause when you are dreaming, you see for miles and miles
When you are much older, remember when we sat 
At midnight on the windowsill, and had this little chat
And dream, come on and dream, come on and dream, and dream, and dream...

Midnight Lady
Performer(s): Chris Norman



You think love is a game
Love is a motion
Endless and so deep
Always emotion
I've got many ways
To reach tomorrow
Love will always grow
No pain, no sorrow
When you take me in your arms
You can break me with your heart
I feel the magic of your charm
Oh, you're tearing me apart

Midnight lady, love takes time
Midnight lady, it's hard to find
Midnight lady, I call your name
I know you can ease my pain
Midnight lady, just you and me
Midnight lady, eternaly
Midnight lady, I can fly in your arms
I'll get high

Magic touched my life
I'm still dreaming
Anything before has lost its meaning
Heaven in your eyes
My soul is on fire
Oh, my feelings grow, we can't go higher
Oh, I just want a girl
Baby, just to call my own
And I just wanna dream
I don't have to dream alone

O'Rafferty's Motor Car
Composer(s): Tommie Connor
Performer(s): Val Doonican



Now Dinny O'Rafferty's motor car is the greatest I declare
It's made up of bits and pieces that he's picked up here and there
The engine must be ages old, but it's still got lots of power
With a gallon of stout in the petrol tank it does ninety miles an hour 

What a wonderful motor car, it's the greatest ever seen
It used to be black as me father's hat, now it's forty shades of green
On TV and the radio and in every public bar
The burning question of the day is O'Rafferty's motor car 

Now two of the wheels are triangular and the third one's off a pram
The fourth is the last remaining wheel from off a Dublin tram
The number plate's in Gaelic and the plug's won't even spark
And the chassis came off a tinker's cart that collapsed in Phoenix Park 

What a wonderful motor car, it's the greatest ever seen
It used to be black as me father's hat, now it's forty shades of green
On TV and the radio and in every public bar
The burning question of the day is O'Rafferty's motor car 

Now go for a ride in that motor car and you'll end up with the shakes
The road from Cork to Dublin is a vale of pains and aches
When traffic lights turn red ahead, then you'd best jump out the door
For the moment that Dinny treads on the break, then his foot goes through the floor 

What a wonderful motor car, it's the greatest ever seen
It used to be black as me father's hat, now it's forty shades of green
On TV and the radio and in every public bar
The burning question of the day is O'Rafferty's motor car 

Now if you could see the upholstery, then your eyes would start to pop
It's nothing but empty beer crates with a load of sacks on top
The windscreen's gone to Lord knows where and there's mothballs in the horn
And I reckon he'd only get half a quid if he took it to the pawn 

What a wonderful motor car, it's the greatest ever seen
It used to be black as me father's hat, now it's forty shades of green
On TV and the radio and in every public bar
The burning question of the day is O'Rafferty's motor car

Now Dinny was driving around last week when the engine did the splits
It went up in smoke and nearly blew O'Connell Street to bits
They searched around for Dinny and found that he'd landed up by heck
Away on top of the GPO with his L-plates round his neck 

What a wonderful motor car, it's the greatest ever seen
It used to be black as me father's hat, now it's forty shades of green
On TV and the radio and in every public bar
The burning question of the day is O'Rafferty's motor car

Oração De São Francisco
Composer(s): Padre Irala
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Senhor, fazei-me instrumento de vossa paz
Onde houver ódio que eu leve o amor
Onde houver ofensa que eu leve o perdão
Onde houver discórdia que eu leve união
Onde houver dúvida que eu leve a fé
Onde houver erro que eu leve a verdade
Onde houver desespero que eu leve a esperança
Onde houver tristeza que eu leve alegria
Onde houver trevas que eu leve a luz

Oh! Mestre, fazei que eu procure mais
Consolar que ser consolado
Compreender que ser compreendido
Amar que ser amado
Pois é dando que se recebe
É perdoando que se é perdoado
E é morrendo que se vive
Para a vida eterna

Midnight Cruiser
Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen
Originally performed by: Steely Dan



Felonius my old friend
Step on in and let me shake your hand
So glad that you're here again
For one more time
Let your madness run with mine
Streets still unseen we'll find somehow
No time is better than now

Tell me where are you driving
Midnight cruiser
Where is your bounty
Of fortune and fame
I am another
Gentlemen loser
Drive me to Harlem
Or somewhere the same

The world that we used to know
People tell me it don't turn no more
The places we used to go
Familiar faces that ain't smilin' like before
The time of our time has come and gone
I fear we been waiting too long

Tell me where are you driving
Midnight cruiser
Where is your bounty
Of fortune and fame
I am another
Gentlemen loser
Drive me to Harlem
Or somewhere the same

Composer(s): Mogol; Pattacini
Performer(s): Bobby Solo



Ora che sei
sei già una donna
tu non hai più bosogno di me
Tu mi guardi come se fossi

Ora che sei
sei già una donna
tu non hai più bisogno di me
Mi sorridi
come a un amico
un vecchio amico e nulla più

Midnight Cowboy
Composer(s): Jeff Barry; Jack Gold
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis



(Midnight cowboy, midnight cowboy)
(He's a lonesome midnight cowboy)

Once his hopes were high as the sky
Once a dream was easy to buy
Soon his eager fingers are burned
Soon life's lonely lessons are learned

Hearts are made for caring
Life is made for sharing

Love is all that's left in the end

(Midnight cowboy, midnight cowboy)
(He's a lonesome midnight cowboy)

Hearts are made for caring
Life is made for sharing

Love is all that's left in the end
Love can turn the tide for a friend
Love can hold a dream together

Love is all

Opzij
Composer(s): Herman van Veen; Erik van der Wurff
Performer(s): Herman van Veen



Opzij opzij opzij, maak plaats maak plaats maak plaats 
Wij hebben ongelofelijke haast 
Opzij opzij opzij, want wij zijn haast te laat 
We hebben maar een paar minuten tijd 

We moeten rennen, springen, vliegen, duiken, vallen, opstaan en weer doorgaan 
We kunnen nu niet blijven, we kunnen nu niet langer blijven 
Een andere keer misschien, dan blijven we wel slapen 
En kunnen dan misschien als het echt moet 
Wat over koetjes, voetbal en de lotto praten 
Nou dag tot ziens, adieu het gaat je goed 

We moeten rennen, springen, vliegen, duiken, vallen, opstaan en weer doorgaan 
We kunnen nu niet blijven, we kunnen nu niet langer blijven 
Een andere keer misschien, dan blijven we wel slapen 
En kunnen dan misschien als het echt moet 
Wat over koetjes, voetbal en de lotto praten 
Nou dag tot ziens, adieu het gaat je goed

Midnight Confessions
Composer(s): The Grass Roots
Originally performed by: The Grass Roots



The sound of your footsteps
Telling me that you're near
Your soft gentle motion, baby
Brings out the need in me that no-one can hear, except

In my midnight confessions
When I tell all the world that I love you
In my midnight confessions
When I say all the things that I want to
I love you

But a little gold ring you wear on your hand makes me understand
There's another before me, you'll never be mine
I'm wasting my time

Staggering through the daytime
Your image on my mind
Passing so close beside you baby
Sometimes the feelings are so hard to hide, except

In my midnight confessions
When I tell all the world that I love you
In my midnight confessions
When I say all the things that I want to
I love you

But a little gold ring you wear on your hand makes me understand
There's another before me, you'll never be mine
I'm wasting my time

In my midnight confessions
When I tell all the world that I love you
Na na-na na na na na-na
Na na-na na na na na-na

Opus One
Composer(s): Sid Garris; Sy Oliver
Performer(s): The Mills Brothers



Oh! baby, I'm rackin' my brain, to think of a name
To give to this tune, so Perry can croon
And maybe old Bing will give it a fling
And that'll start everyone hummin' the thing

The melody's dumb, repeat and repeat
But if you can swing, it's got a good beat
And that's the main thing, to make it complete
'Cause everyone's swingin' today

So we call it Opus One, it's not for Sammy Kaye, hey, hey, hey
Opus One, it's got to swing, not sway, baby

If Mr. Les Brown can make it renowned
And Ray Anthony could rock it for me
There's never a doubt, you'll knock yourself out
Whenever you get near Opus One

Midnight Bus
Composer(s): John D. Loudermilk
Performer(s): John D. Loudermilk
and various other artists



Me and my baby, we got on the midnight bus
Pulled out of Durham and left in a cloud of dust
Headed for the border of North and South Caroline
This time tomorrow she'll be mine

After we had ridden for a while on the midnight bus
We fell out and had an awful fuss
Said goodbye, I pulled the buzzer chord
I got off and the driver slammed the door

Standin' in the highway, holdin' my suitcase tight
Watching that midnight bus pull out of sight
She's gone, my baby's gone and I'm alone

Left and lost my baby on the midnight bus
Left and lost my baby on the midnight bus
She's gone, my baby's gone and I'm alone

Opus 17 (Don't You Worry 'Bout Me)
Composer(s): Sandy Linzer; Denny Randell
Performer(s): Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons



I can see
There ain't no room for me
You're only holdin' up your heart in sympathy
If there's another man
Then girl I understand 
Go on and take his hand
And don't you worry 'bout me
I'll be blue
And I'll be cryin' too
But girl you know I only want what's best for you
What good is all my pride
If our true love has died 
Go on and be his bride
And don't you worry 'bout me

I'll be strong
I'll try to carry on
Although you know it won't be easy when you're gone
I'll always think of you
The tender love we knew
But somehow I'll get through
So don't you worry 'bout me 
Ooo-oo
Baby
Sweetie pie
Before you say goodbye
Remember if he ever leaves you high and dry
Don't cry alone in pain
Don't ever feel ashamed 
If you want me again
Just don't you worry 'bout me
I love you
No matter what you do
I'll spend my whole life waitin' if you want me too
And if this is goodbye
You know I'd rather die
Than let you see me cry 
'Cause then you'd worry 'bout me

I'll be strong
I'll try to carry on
Although you know it won't be easy when your gone
I'll always think of you
The tender love we knew 
But somehow I'll get through
So don't you worry 'bout me 
I'll be strong
I'll try to carry on
Although you know it won't be easy when your gone
I'll always think of you
The tender love we knew 
But somehow I'll get through
So don't you worry 'bout me

Midnight Blue
Composer(s): Carole Bayer Sager; Melissa Manchester
Originally performed by: Melissa Manchester
Covered by various other artists



Whatever it is, it'll keep 'til the morning
Haven't we both got better things to do? 
Midnight Blue
Even though simple things become rough
Haven't we had enough? 

And I think we can make it 
One more time 
If we try... 
One more time for all the old times

For all of the times you told me you need me
Needing me now is something I could use
Midnight Blue. 
Wouldn't you give your hand to a friend? 
Maybe it's not the end

And I think we can make it 
One more time 
If we try... 
One more time for all the old times

Wouldn't you give your heart to a friend?
Think of me as your friend

I think we can make it 
If we try
Looks like we can make it 
If we try... 

Repeat

Optimistic
Composer(s): Aubrey Freeman
Performer(s): Skeeter Davis



How long is the river?
How deep is the sea?
How long is forever?
That's how long you'll love me

My heart is beating fast
I found true love at last
I'm so optimistic
I know this new love will last

How high is the mountain?
How far out of space?
How long could I hold you
in a lover's embrace?

Until the end of time
A love that's so divine
I'm so optimistic about
this new love of mine

Midnight Avenue
Performer(s): The Sutherland Brothers Band



In the midnight avenue
That's when you think of what's to do
Decide it's best to use more force
But then it never works out of course

All the things you look upon
Just to watch them till they're gone
The ones you know you can't afford
But still you try to buy with words
In the midnight avenue

On a windswept open beach
The kind that's always out of reach
To meet an ocean where it ends
The old eternal poet's friend

Make your peace with what you will
Your life depends upon your skill
In keeping lovers at your call
And sharing each with one and all
In the midnight avenue

If your spirit flies away
And they tell you it's gone to stay
Will you die and call it a day
Or will you live a different way

When the crystals smash your brain
Will you think of love, oh yeah
Will you think of paradise
Will you hope it turns out nice
In the midnight avenue

Got a Chopin crazy black
That took a sleigh ride, oh yeah
Gone in the asteroid, oh yeah

All the things you've looked upon
Just to watch them till they're gone
The ones you know you can't afford
But still you try to buy with words
In the midnight avenue
