Taking A Chance On Love
Composer(s): Vernon Duke - Ted Fetter - John Latouche
First performance by: Ethel Waters - 1940
Covered by multiple other artists



Here I go again
I hear those trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love

Here I slide again
About to take that ride again
Starry eyed again
Taking a chance on love

I thought that cards were a frame-up
I never would try
Now I'm taking that game up
And the ace of hearts is high

Things are mending now
I see a rainbow blending now
We'll have a happy ending now
Taking a chance on love

Here I slip again
About to take that trip again
I got that grip again
Taking a chance on love

Now I prove again
That I can make life move again
I'm in a groove again
Taking a chance on love

I walk around with a horseshoe
In clover I lie
And brother rabbit of course you
Better kiss your foot good-bye

On that ball again
I'm riding for a fall again
I'm gonna give my all again
Taking a chance on love

Moving Waves
Composer(s): Inayat Khan; Thijs Van Leer
Performer(s): Focus



Moving waves, the wind has left you
And you're still in commotion?
Moving waves, the wind has left you
And you're still in commotion?

We are still repeating the word it has taught us
It moves our whole being into ecstasy

Waves, why do you all become excited
And then all calm together?
Because behind our individual action
There is one impulse working
Because behind our individual action
There is one impulse working

Rising waves...what motive is behind your impulse?
What motive is behind your impulse?

The desire to reach upwards!!

Eerst heb je de oude man
een pimpelpaarse neus
versleten en poreus
die niets onthouden kan
Hij, die zich zo bezet en zo gezopen heeft
dat hij zichzelf vergat en als een ander leeft
Hij, meneer, hij is half gaar, meneer
hij denkt koning te zijn
maar zuipt elke nacht weer de zelfde slechte wijn, meneer
en 's ochtends
vindt men hem, paars-kaars wit
stijf als een marmeren zerk
terwijl hij ronkend pit
Daarna, meneer, scheel van de drank
hikt hij de Here dank
Begrijp me wel, meneer, dat bij dit slag volk, meneer
praat men niet
men bidt...

En dan de andere man, hij is geen kam gewend
heeft klitten in zijn haar
maakt graag een ruim gebaar
dat voos is als de motten in het weggeschonken hemd
Hij, meneer, hij trouwde Liselotte
een schatje uit de stad, nou ja, een andere stad
en u weet niet waar
zij, zij heeft zaakjes daar
die doet ze, klein koket, het hoedje scheef gezet
in kleine cabriolet
ze doet zich duur voor meneer
maar als je geen centen hebt, meneer
koop dan geen portemonnee, meneer
Begrijp me goed, meneer, bij dit slag volk meneer
praat men niet, denkt men niet, doet men niet, meneer
men nept...

En dan, en dan is er de rest, de moeder die niets zegt
althans niets van belang, en dan ontstellend echt
de puriteinse smoel van vader op 't behang
z'n snor omlijst en koel, hij ziet op 't gehoor
z'n soep slikkende troep en dat gaat dan van...

En dan, de hele oude vrouw
ze beeft meer dan ze leeft
men, meneer, men wacht tot ze 't begeeft
omdat ze duiten heeft
men luistert niet zo nauw naar wat haar hand vertelt
Begrijp me wel, meneer, dat bij dit slag volk meneer
praat men niet, doet men niet, denkt men niet, meneer
men telt...

En dan, en dan, en dan is er Frieda
ze is zo mooi, zo teer, ze houdt van mij, meneer
net als ik hou van haar, zelfs zo dat wij elkaar
een huis hebben gebouwd dat heel veel ramen
maar heel weinig muren heeft, meneer
waar 't goed is dat je leeft, meneer
en valt 't nog te bezien, meneer
dan is het toch misschien...

Maar God
meneer, de anderen, meneer
de anderen willen niet, meneer, de anderen zeggen
ze is te mooi voor jou
jij bent
een vuile
kattenmepper
een kattenmepper, meneer...

en ik, meneer, ik wilde nooit een kat, meneer
nou ja, niet sinds ik haar ken of, of 't was
of 't was zo lang terug al, dat ik 't al lang vergat, meneer
of 't was een zieke kat, meneer
De anderen
ze willen 't niet

Soms als ze mij weer ziet
per ongeluk, expres
met vochtig, trouwe blik
verteld ze weg te gaan
met mij van huis vandaan
en dan, voor een ogenblik
één ogenblik, ach, dan geloof ik haar, meneer
dan geloof ik haar
maar u weet niet waar, meneer
bij dit slag volk
bij dit slag volk, gaat men niet weg meneer
men gaat niet weg, meneer...

maar 't is al laat, meneer
ik moet nu terug naar huis

Moving In Stereo

Originally performed by: The Cars

Life's the same I'm moving in stereo
Life's the same except for my shoes
Life's the same you're shakin' like tremolo
Life's the same it's all inside you

It's so easy to blow up your problems
It's so easy to play up your breakdown
It's so easy to fly through a window
It's so easy to fool with the sound

It's so tough to get up
It's so tough
It's so tough to live up
It's so tough on you

Life's the same I'm moving in stereo
Life's the same except for my shoes
Life's the same you're shakin' like tremolo
Life's the same it's all inside you

Life's the same I'm moving in stereo
Life's the same except for my shoes
Life's the same you're shakin' like tremolo
Life's the same it's all inside you

Give My Regards To Broadway
Composer(s): George M. Cohan
Performer(s): Judy Garland;
and various other artists



Did you ever see two Yankees 
part upon a foreign shore
When the good ship's just about to 
start for Old New York once more?

With teardimmed eye they say goodbye
they're friends without a doubt
When the man on the pier 
Shouts "Let them clear", as the ship strikes out

Give my regards to Broadway
Remember me to Herald Square
Tell all the gang at Forty Second street
that I will soon be there

Whisper of how I'm yearning
To mingle with the old time throng
Give my regards to old Broadway
and say that I'll be there ever long

Give my regards to Broadway
Remember me to Herald Square
Tell all the gang at Forty Second street
that I will soon be there

Whisper of how I'm yearning
To mingle with the old time throng
Give my regards to old Broadway
and say that I'll be there ever long

Say hello to dear old Coney Isle
If there you chance to be
When you're at the Waldorf 
have a smile and charge it up to me

Mention my name every place you go
as 'round the town you roam
Wish you'd call on my gal
Now remember, old pal when you get back home

Give my regards to Broadway
Remember me to Herald Square
Tell all the gang at Forty Second street
that I will soon be there

Whisper of how I'm yearning
To mingle with the old time throng
Give my regards to old Broadway
and say that I'll be there ever long

Give my regards to Broadway
Remember me to Herald Square
Tell all the gang at Forty Second street
that I will soon be there

Whisper of how I'm yearning
To mingle with the old time throng
Give my regards to old Broadway
and say that I'll be there ever long

You blow my mind, with the things you do to me girlie
I can't resist your luscious lips caressing my body
How do you keep not from fallin'
fallin' in love, with a girl that can do you
the way you like to be done
You blow my mind with the things you do to me girlie
I can't resist your luscious lips caressing my body
Takin' my time with you girl
never know when we'll do this again
takin' my time with you girl
Touchin' your love stokin' you from within
I hear your voice callin'
(baby please pick up the phone)
But I don't wanna answer
I got too many women
so I'm tellin' you not to fall in love with me
Touchin' your love stokin' you from within
Touchin' your love stokin' you from within
Touchin' your love stokin' you from within
The time is right for you to be close to me indefinitely
they say good things come to those who wait
I need to hold you in my arms

Moving stranger
Does it really matter
As long as you're not afraid to feel? 
Touch me, hold me
How my open arms ache! 
Try to fall for me

How I'm moved
How you move me 
With your beauty's potency
You give me life
Please don't let me go
You crush the lily in my soul

Moving liquid
Yes, you are just as water
You flow around all that comes in your way
Don't think it over
It always takes you over
And sets your spirit dancing

How I'm moved
How you move me 
With your beauty's potency
You give me life
Please don't let me go
You crush the lily in my soul

Give My Love To Rose
Composer(s): John R. Cash
Performer(s): Johnny Cash;
and various other artists



I found him by the railroad track this morning
I could see that he was nearly dead
I knelt down beside him and I listened
Just to hear the words the dying fellow said

He said they let me out of prison down in Frisco
For ten long years I've paid for what I've done
I was trying to get back to Louisiana
To see my Rose and get to know my son

Chorus:
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose

Tell them I said thanks for waiting for me
Tell my boy to help his mom at home
Tell my Rose to try to find another
For it ain't right that she should live alone

Mister here's a bag with all my money
It won't last them long the way it goes
God bless you for finding me this morning
And don't forget to give my love to Rose

Chorus:
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose

Takin' Care Of Business
Composer(s): Randy Bachman - C.F. Turner
First release by: Bachman-Turner Overdrive - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists



They get up every morning from the alarm clock's warning
Take the eight-fifteen into the city
There's a whistle up above and people push and people shove
And all the girls, who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time you can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day

And I've been takin' care of business everyday
Takin' care of business every way
I've been takin' care of business it's all mine
Takin' care of business and working overtime 
Workout

If things were easy as fishing you could be a musician
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a second hand guitar
Chances are you'll go far 
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
People see you having fun just a lying in the sun
And tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid and we're all self employed
We love to work at nothing all day

And we've been takin' care of business everyday
Takin' care of business every way
We've been takin' care of business it's all right
Takin' care of business and working overtime 

Take good care of my business 
When I'm away
Everyday

They get up every morning from the alarm clock's warning
Take the eight-fifteen into the city
There's a whistle up above and people push and people shove
And the girls, who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time you can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day

And I've been takin' care of business everyday
Takin' care of business every way
I've been takin' care of business It's all mine
Takin' care of business and working overtime 

Takin' care of business 
Takin' care of business 
Takin' care of business 
Takin' care of business 
Takin' care of business

Takin' care of business 
Every way
Takin' care of business

Give My Love To Nell
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Chet Atkins;
Les Paul; The Sons of the Pioneers



Three years ago since Jack and Joe
Set sail across the foam
Each vowed a fortune he would gain
Before returning home
In one short year Jack gained his wealth
And started home that day
And when the pals shook hands to part
Poor Joe could only say

Refrain:
Give my love to Nellie, Jack
And kiss her once for me
The sweetest girl in all this world
I'm sure you'll say is she
Treat her kindly Jack, old pal
And tell her I am well
His parting words were don't forget
To give my love to Nell

Three years had passed when Joe at last
Gained wealth enough for life
He started home across the foam
To make sweet Nell his wife
But when he learned that Jack and Nell
One year ago had wed
With sobs and threats he now regrets
That he had ever ever said.

Refrain

They chanced to meet upon the street
Joe said, you selfish "Elf"
The very next girl I learn to love
I'll kiss her for myself
But all is fair in love, they say
As you have gone and wed
I'll not be angry with you pal
So once again he said

Takes Two To Make A Bargain 
Composer(s): Gordon - Ravel
Performer(s): Bing Crosby



You know that I’ve got certain plans for
A place that you need pots and pans for
Takes two to make a bargain
What’s the answer, baby?

What do girls wear veils for?
And what do men wear suits and tails for?
Takes two to make a bargain
What’s the verdict, baby?

Sign on that dotted line
In as the party of the first part
The party of the second part
You agree to be mine

With Cupid as our pilot
Say, I would like to middle-aisle it
Takes two to make a bargain
Come let’s make vows about it
How’s about it, baby?

What’s the bride and groom for?
I’d like to know
What’s a lovely honeymoon for?

Takes two to see Niagara
Fetch a parson, baby

What’s the night in June for?
What do I sing Love In Bloom for?
Takes two to handle a duet
Give me the verdict, baby

Sign on that dotted line
In as the party of the first part
The party of the second part
You agree to be mine

Oh, I would like a junior
I’d bring him up to be a croonyer
Takes two to make a bargain
Come on, let’s make vows about it
Hows about it?
Just takes two to make a bargain

Big wheels rollin', big wheels rollin'
Movin' on

Big wheels rollin', gotta keep 'em goin'
Big wheels rollin'
Movin' On

And men like Will and Sonny make it move
Livin' like a gypsy, always on the go
Doin' what they best know how to do

It takes a special breed to be a truck drivin' man
And a steady hand to pull that load behind

Big wheels rollin', big wheels rollin'
Movin' on

Take Your Girlie To The Movies (If You Can't Make Love At Home)
Composer(s): Bert Kalmar - Edgar Leslie
Performer(s): Dean Martin



Beatrice Fairfax gives advice
To anyone in love
That's why Johnny Gray
Wrote to her one day
'When I call to love my girl 
Her folks are always there
That's why I'm blue
What shall I do?" 
And Beatrice said, "never despair"

Sweethearts always used to spoon
In a big morris chair
Young folks of today
Have a different way 
Far away from cranky dad
And mother's eagle eye 
It's lots of fun
Here's how it's done 
So come on and give it a try

Take your girlie to the movies 
If you can't make love at home
There's not little brother there who always squeals 
You can say an awful lot in the seven reels 
Take your lessons at the movies 
And have love scenes of your own 
When the pictures over and it's time to leave 
Don't forget to brush the powder off your sleeve 
Take your girlie to the movies
If you can't make love at home

Take your girlie to the movies
If you can't make love at home
Pick a cozy corner where it's nice and dark 
Don't catch influenza, kissing in the park 
Take your lessons at the movies
And have love scenes of your own
Tho she's just a simple little ribbon clerk 
Close your eyes and think you're kissing Billie Burke
Take your girlie to the movies
If you can't make love at home
