    Well she comes from Tallahassee
    She's got a hi-fi chassis
    Maybe looks a little sassy
    But to me she's real classy
    Yeah my Tallahassee lassie, down in F-L-A
    Well she dances to the drag, the cha-cha, rag and mop
    Stomping to the shag, rocks the bunny hop ooh ooh ooh ooh
    She dances to the rock, she dances to the stroll
    She dances to the walk, she can rock and roll
    She's my Tallahassee lassie
    Yeah my Tallahassee lassie
    She's my Tallahassee lassie, down in F-L-A

    Mr. Monday
    Composer(s): Dennis Lambert; Brian Potter



    He gets up at eight o’clock
    On cold clear winter days
    He eats his food at half past eight
    And clears the pots away
    He drives his car in the city streets
    And he meets along the way
    A lot of tall dark people
    Who stand there all the day
    He’s Mister Monday
    He works all day from nine to five
    He’s Mister Monday
    He lives alone in the city
    I see him in the evening
    I pass him at the door
    I say, “Hello, how are you?”
    And I know he’s very poor
    He looks at the street through his window
    He watches the people pass by
    He loves little dogs and children
    And he never tells a lie
    He’s Mister Monday ...

    Glory Of Love
    Composer(s): Peter Cetera;
    David Foster; Diane Nini
    Performer(s): Peter Cetera



    Tonight it's very clear
    Cause we're both lying here
    There's so many things I wanna say
    I will always love you
    I will never leave you alone
    Sometimes I just forget, say things I might regret
    It breaks my heart to see you crying
    I don't want to lose you
    I could never make it alone

    I am a man who would fight for your honor
    I'll be the hero you're dreaming of
    We'll live forever knowing together
    That we did it all for the glory of love

    You keep me standing tall
    You help me through it all
    I'm always strong when you're beside me
    I have always needed you
    I could never make it alone

    I am a man who would fight for your honor
    I'll be the hero you've been dreaming of
    We'll live forever knowing together
    That we did it all for the glory of love

    It's like a knight in shining armor
    From a long time ago
    Just in time I will save the day
    Take you to my castle far away

    I am the man who will fight for your honor
    I'll be the hero that you're dreaming of
    We're gonna live forever knowing together
    That we did it all for the glory of love

    We live forever knowing together
    That we did it all for the glory of love

    We did it all for love
    We did it all for love
    We did it all for love
    We did it all for love...

    I had a friend who was a big baseball player
    back in high school
    he could throw that speedball by you
    make you look like a fool boy
    saw him the other night at this roadside bar
    I was walking in, he was walking out
    we went back inside, sat down, had a few drinks
    but all he kept talking about

    glory days well they'll pass you by
    glory days in the wink of a young girls eye
    glory days, glory days

    well there's a girl that lives up the block
    back in school she could turn all the boys heads
    sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by
    and have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed
    her and her husband Bobby, well they split up
    I guess its two years gone by now
    we just sit around talking about the old times
    she says when she feels like crying
    she starts laughing, thinking about

    my old man worked 20 years on the line
    and they let him go
    now everywhere he goes out looking for work
    they just tell him that he's too old
    I was 9 years old and he was working at the
    Metuchen Ford plant assembly line
    now he just sits on a stool down at the Legion hall
    but I can tell what's on his mind

    glory days yeah going back
    glory days awe he ain't never had
    glory days glory days

    now I think I'm going down to the well tonight
    and I'm going to drink tI'll I get my fI'll
    and I hope when I get old
    I don't sit around thinking about it
    but I probably wI'll

    Talking World War III Blues
    Composer(s): Bob Dylan
    Performer(s): Bob Dylan



    Some time ago a crazy dream came to me
    I dreamt I was walkin' into World War Three
    I went to the doctor the very next day
    To see what kinda words he could say
    He said it was a bad dream
    I wouldn't worry 'bout it none, though
    They were my own dreams and they're only in my head

    I said "Hold it, Doc, a World War passed through my brain"
    He said "Nurse, get your pad, this boy's insane"
    He grabbed my arm, I said "Ouch!"
    As I landed on the psychiatric couch
    He said "Tell me about it"

    Well, the whole thing started at 3 o'clock fast
    It was all over by quarter past
    I was down in the sewer with some little lover
    When I peeked out from a manhole cover
    Wondering who turned the lights on

    Well, I got up and walked around
    And up and down the lonesome town
    I stood a-wondering which way to go
    I lit a cigarette on a parking meter
    And walked on down the road
    It was a normal day

    Well, I rung the fallout shelter bell
    And I leaned my head and I gave a yell
    "Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man"
    A shotgun fired and away I ran
    I don't blame them too much though
    I know I look funny

    Down at the corner by a hot-dog stand
    I seen a man, I said, "Howdy friend
    I guess there's just us two"
    He screamed a bit and away he flew
    Thought I was a Communist

    Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave
    "Let's go and play Adam and Eve"
    I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'
    When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin'
    You see what happened last time they started"

    Well, I seen a Cadillac window uptown
    And there was nobody aroun'
    I got into the driver's seat
    And I drove 42nd Street
    In my Cadillac
    Good car to drive after a war

    Well, I remember seein' some ad
    So I turned on my Conelrad
    But I didn't pay my Con Ed bill
    So the radio didn't work so well
    Turned on my player
    It was Rock-A-Day, Johnny singin'
    "Tell Your Ma, Tell Your Pa
    Our Loves Are Gonna Grow Ooh-wah, Ooh-wah"

    I was feelin' kinda lonesome and blue
    I needed somebody to talk to
    So I called up the operator of time
    Just to hear a voice of some kind
    "When you hear the beep
    It will be three o'clock"
    She said that for over an hour
    And I hung it up

    Well, the doctor interrupted me just about then
    Sayin, "Hey I've been havin' the same old dreams
    But mine was a little different you see
    I dreamt that the only person left after the war was me
    I didn't see you around"

    Well, now time passed and now it seems
    Everybody's having them dreams
    Everybody sees themselves walkin' around with no one else
    Half of the people can be part right all of the time
    Some of the people can be all right part of the time
    But all the people can't be all right all the time
    I think Abraham Lincoln said that
    "I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours"
    I said that

    Away from home through no wish of my own
    That's why I'm lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
    I wish that I could go back home

    Away from home through no wish of my own

    Three o'clock in the morning
    And it looks like it's gonna be another sleepless night
    I've been listenin' to your dreams and gettin' very low
    Wondering what I can do

    Maybe I'm being foolish
    'Cause I haven't heard you mention anybody's name at all
    How I wish I could be sure it's me that turns you on
    Each time you close your eyes
    I've heard it said that dreamers never lie

    You've been talkin' in your sleep
    Sleepin' in your dreams
    Wish some sweet lover
    Holdin' on so tight loving her the way
    You used to love me
    Talkin' in your sleep with lovin' on your mind

    Gloria
    Composer(s): Umberto Tozzi
    Performer(s): Umberto Tozzi



    Gloria
    manchi tu nell'aria
    manchi ad una mano
    che lavora piano
    manchi a questa bocca
    che cibo piu non tocca
    e sempre questa storia
    che lei la chiamo Gloria
    Gloria sui tuoi fianchi
    la mattina nasce il sole
    entra odio ed esce amore
    dal nome Gloria
    Gloria manchi tu nell'aria
    manchi come il sale
    mi manchi piu del sole
    sciogli questa neve
    che soffoca il mio petto
    t'aspetto Gloria
    Gloria chiesa di campagna
    acqua nel deserto
    lascio aperto il cuore
    scappa senza far rumore
    dal lavore dal tuo letto
    dai gradini di un altare
    ti aspetto Gloria
    Gloria per chi attende il giorno
    e invece di dormire
    con la memoria torna
    a un tuffo nei papaveri
    in una terra libera
    per chi respira nebbia
    per chi respira rabbia
    per me che senza Gloria
    con te nuda sul divano
    faccio stelle di cartone
    pensando a Gloria

    Talking Guitar Blues
    Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
    Performer(s): Lonnie Donegan



    ‘Ere, if you wanna get in trouble
    Let me tell you how to do it
    Get yourself a guitar and then you’re right into it
    You play all day and you play all night
    People say you’ll never learn to play the thing right
    Always messing about, groaning at you
    Moaning, won’t let you practise

    So I bought meself a guitar about a year ago
    The man said I could learn it in a week or so
    Gave me a little book, pick or two
    Said ‘here y’are mate, it’s up to you’
    Dirty rotter, cost me ten nicker, all the loot I had
    Good guitar, though – call it a pluckit

    Anyway, spent me dough
    And I couldn’t let it all go to waste, you know
    So I took the book, guitar, and all
    And I went back home where the trees are tall
    Down in Woodford - good place to be if you’ve got a guitar
    Pretty rotten if you ain’t

    Well, for weeks and weeks I worked hard
    And I tried to learn a few main chords
    Book says they’re easy as ABC
    Cor, my fingers is killing me
    Got sore on the ends
    Couldn’t hold the strings down
    Wanted to pack up, cor, I felt rough

    Anyway, kept on playing with all me might
    I could see mum’s hair was turning white
    And her face was lined with discontent
    She said her patience was pretty near spent
    She was nervous, ears ringing, wanted to scream
    You know, couldn’t get no relief

    So sister, anyway, she took it worst of all
    ‘Cause she got married the following fall
    She said ‘for love’ but I got me doubts
    I think the guitar chased her out
    She’s a game girl, though
    Just couldn’t take it, you know
    Limit to everything

    Dad, he took it a different way
    He said, you can turn your mum’s hair grey
    Drive your sister away from home
    But you or me boy’s gonna start to roam
    And I ain’t going - never intend to
    You figure it out – so I did, fast, you know

    Anyway, next day had me clothes all packed
    And I slung me guitar across me back
    Caught meself a great long train
    Searched the world for me share of fame
    Ain’t found none - just hardships, messing about

    Mr. Jukebox
    Composer(s): Ralph Davis; Eddie Davis
    Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



    The jukebox just told my life’s story
    Told it in the words of a song
    So I will have another drink to the jukebox
    And one to the man that wrote the song

    So here Mr. Jukebox
    Please take my last dime
    Tell me the story of my life one more time
    Bring back the memories of a past that was wrong
    Here’s another drink to you
    And the man that wrote the song

    The jukebox just told my life’s story
    Told it in the words of a song
    So I will have another drink to the jukebox
    And one to the man that wrote the song

    So here Mr. Jukebox
    Please take my last dime
    Tell me the story of my life one more time
    Bring back the memories of a past that was wrong
    Here’s my last drink to you
    So Mr. Jukebox so long

    Gloria
    Composer(s): Giancarlo Bigazzi; Umberto Tozzi
    Performer(s): Laura Branigan



    Gloria, you're always on the run now
    Running after somebody
    you gotta get him somehow
    I think you've got to slow down
    before you start to blow it
    I think you're headed for a breakdown
    so be careful not to show it

    You really don't remember
    was it something that he said?
    Are the voices in your head
    calling, Gloria?
    Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
    If everybody wants you,
    why isn't anybody callin'?
    You don't have to answer
    Leave them hangin' on the line
    Oh oh oh
    calling Gloria

    Gloria, Gloria!
    I think they got your number, Gloria!
    I think they got the alias, Gloria!
    that you've been living under Gloria!
    But you really don't remember
    was it something that they said?
    Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?

    Ha ha, a ha ha, Gloria
    how's it gonna go down?
    Will you meet him on the main line
    or will you catch him on the rebound?
    Will you marry for the money
    take a lover in the afternoon?
    Feel your innocence slipping away
    don't believe it's comin' back soon

    And you really don't remember
    was it something that he said?
    Are the voices in your head calling
    Gloria?
    Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
    If everybody wants you
    why isn't anybody callin'?
    You don't have to answer
    Leave them hangin'
    on the line, oh oh oh
    calling Gloria

    Chorus

    Gloria, Gloria
    Gloria, Gloria
    Gloria, Gloria
    Gloria, Gloria
    Gloria, Gloria

    Talkin' Silver Cloud Blues
    Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
    Performer(s): John D. Loudermilk



    I've been singing rock most all my life
    I got three little boys and a sweet young wife
    I feed 'em good cause I make good bread
    Thank God for the man that said
    Rock 'n' roll is the answer son
    You can't beat 'em join 'em
    Get your guitar get your drum
    Get your set of iron ear drums
    A thousand watt column
    And you're in the business son
    Got my first Cadillac in '54
    Since then I had about five more
    Mercedez Benz and a Porsche too
    The other day I was thinking this wouldn't do
    Cause the price of a Cadillac times two
    Comes out to the cost of a Rolls Royce new
    But soon the Cadillac's obsolete
    And the Rolls Royce is still a running sleek
    Figure four years instead of two
    Before you gotta buy something new
    Put an extra fifteen hundred in
    to pay for the bar and air-conditionin'
    You don't need no chauffer
    Get your bartender and ride baby

    So the other day I drove down from the hill
    Went to my bank to get me some bills
    And boots and Levi's worn and tan
    I ambled into the Rolls Royce stand
    Showroom four was quiet that day
    I walked up to a silver grey
    Silver Cloud all sleek and long
    Standin' there loose and so alone
    Such a beautiful sight I never did see
    Sparkled and shone like a Christmas tree
    He was really something to admire
    I moved in close and I kicked the tire
    Had to get some attention, I got some quickly
    Well I was comin' my hair down in the chrome
    When up steps a man in a herring bone
    Said good morning son may I help you
    I said yes sir I'd like to testdrive
    This new Silver Cloud II
    Well he jumped back his face was sore
    He looked me over from my head to my toe
    His face formed into a sneer
    He said sorry kid this car stays here
    And don't you kick tose tires
    Don't open the doors, don't touch the chrome
    You're gettin' dandruff on the radiator

    Well I got put on for an hour or more
    They ushered me in the bossman's door
    It wasn't long till I came out
    The bossman followed up with a shout
    Open the door there look alive
    And take this boy for a testdrive
    In the silver grey Silver Cloud
    The little cat's loaded
    Lumps in is clothes, gotta look for those
    How do you think I got where I am today hmm
    Now I'm driving along ole 501
    Listening to them big wheels hum
    Gotta get home before it's five
    Take my wife and kids for a drive
    Now the moral is the part that's best
    Never judge a man by the way he is dressed
    Don't you brush him off or treat him wrong
    He may be the singer of rock songs
    Don't you forget it

    What's that pounding noise what's burning
    Well the temperature is up and the oil is down
    Termites running around and around on my dashboard
    Spots on my windshield... trading time

    Mr. Jones (Are You Coming To Bed?)
    Composer(s): Mills
    Performer(s): Evelyn Dall; Florence Desmond



    I’ve often wondered what it was like to be married
    I’ve often wondered why for so long I have tarried
    But I was wed this mornin’
    And now I am a missus
    So without much warning
    I’ll know what married bliss is

    Mr. Jones are you comin’ to bed
    Mr. Jones are you comin’ to bed
    You’ve been awful rough
    And you’ve done your stuff
    Oh it’s just as well we’re wed
    Mr. Jones are you comin’ to bed

    Mr. Jones, can you really be mine
    Mr. Jones, oh you’re lookin’ devine
    You’ve been on the loose
    And you’ve cooked your goose
    So it’s just as well we’re wed
    Mr. Jones are you comin’ to bed

    Now’s your chance
    Here comes romance
    I can’t bear you out of my sight
    So don’t blow out that light

    Oh Mr. Jones, you’re so hard to resist
    Mr. Jones, if I’ve gotta be kissed
    It’s a darn good thing
    That you bought that ring
    And it’s just as well were wed
    Mr. Jones are you comin’ to bed

    Mr. Jones, won’t you get out of bed
    Mr. Jones, won’t you get out of bed
    Here’s your morning tea
    And it’s half past three
    That’s the worst of bein’ wed
    Mr. Jones, won’t you get out of bed

    Mr. Jones, I don’t want to be rude
    Mr. Jones, don’t you want any food
    Just a steak and chips
    Gee, it’s half past six
    That’s the worst of bein’ wed
    Mr. Jones, won’t you get out of bed

    You’ve had a snooze
    You’ve read the news
    I can’t think what mother would say
    You’ve wasted all the day

    Oh Mr. Jones, now it’s terribly late
    Mr. Jones, it’s a quarter to eight
    Better say goodnight
    And blow out that light
    And get straight back to bed
    Mr. Jones are you comin’ to bed
