Go Chase A Moonbeam Composer(s): Lee Pockriss; Paul Vance Performer(s): Jerry Vale
I was feeling so alone today Watching lovers as they passed my way I could almost feel the love in the air And I thought is it there for me Then a friendly little butterfly Flew around me 'til he caught my eye He was careful so that no one could hear As he whispered in my ear
Go chase a moonbeam across a meadow And wrap a rainbow around your heart Then find a bluebird to sing a love song And Mother Nature will do her part
So I listened to the butterfly And when I gave his advice a try Why, it wasn't very long 'til I found
There was love all around for me Now if you are all alone some day Watching happy lovers pass your way Just remember what he told me to do And the same thing applies to you
Go chase a moonbeam across a meadow And wrap a rainbow around your heart Then find a bluebird to sing a love song And Mother Nature will do her part And Mother Nature will do her part

Little broken hearted Sammy Sitting on his Daddy's knee Listening to the radio But his heart is breaking so Seems the angels took his Mammy Any wonder why he cries When his Daddy fell asleep Little Sammy boy would creep To the radio and cry...
Mr. Radio Man Tell my Mammy to come back home Won't you do what you can `Cos I'm so lonely
I've been listening here every day Since she went away But no word from Heaven's been heard Can't the angels hear me pray
When the sandman is nigh And to slumberland I must go I know she hears me sigh Over my radio
When the reason I'm crying And sighing, I'm all alone Mr. Radio Man Tell my mammy to come back home
Mr. Radio Man Tell my Mammy, my Mammy to come back home Won't you do won't you do what you can Oooh! I'm so lonely

Oh, and the reason I'm, I'm sighing And I'm crying, I'm so alone Mr. Radio Man, please Please tell my Mammy to come back home
Go Away, Mister Crocodile! Composer(s): C.W. Murphy; D. Lipton
At the break of day, as the sun's bright ray Shone upon the River Nile From the waters deep there began to creep Such a great, big crocodile And there on the banks a baby c**n played And she wished to play alone So she frowned on the crocodile, and shouted In quite an angry tone, "Go away! Go away!"
"Go away, Mister Crocodile! Don't you wag your tail with glee Run and play, Mister Crocodile Kase you ain't gwine to play with me Go away, Mister Crocodile! I could watch you cry all day 'Kase I know that tear ain't a bit sincere Mister Crocodile, go away! Go away!"
Said the crocodile with a knowing smile "I have waited days for you, As on you I gaze, there's something says You'd be tender, if not true I love you so much that I could eat you, How I wish that we were one!" But she climbed to the branches of a palm tree And thus bade him begone, "Go away! Go away!"
"Go away, Mister Crocodile! Don't you wag your tail with glee Run and play, Mister Crocodile Kase you ain't gwine to play with me Go away, Mister Crocodile! I could watch you cry all day 'Kase I know that tear ain't a bit sincere Mister Crocodile, go away! Go away!"

Ognuno ha il suo tamburo un solo ritmo un canto della comune solitudine che noi mettemmo insieme a starci un poco accanto su questa via dell'abitudine
il tempo vince sempre il tempo lui soltanto si muove e noi restiamo immobili finché ci porta un suono atteso chissà quanto e ci promettiamo indivisibili
alberi che sfilano come persone care fantasmi della strada devi prendere o lasciare si comunque vada non come volevi battono i tamburi battono più lontani e' giusto così non chiesi mai qualcuno che comprasse la mia infelicità (tam tam tam) non piansi mai davanti alla tristezza ma versi l'onestà (tam tam tam)
dimmelo anche tu che il tempo non ci ha sconosciuto male e bene mio che dopo ti hanno amato meglio si ma non di più di tutto il poco che ho potuto io
vieni padre mio usciamo a fare un giro e guida tu e guarda avanti e non parliamo più albero padre con un ramo solo
e come tutto torna e come tutto passa le cose cambiano per vivere e vivono per cambiare il mare s'alza e abbassa
ed ogni giorno siamo dietro ad una cassa a dare il resto e poi sorridere un ballo senza fiato se la banda passa e finché non smetti di rincorrere
le storie muoiono quando c'e' più paura di perdersi che voglia di tenersi e com'e' dura quella soglia e come siamo noi i diversi cambiano le scene cambiano le battute e anche i battuti io non potrò incontrarvi in nessun luogo in nessun'altra età (tam tam tam) fermar l'urgenza del mio cuore il cuore di un uomo a metà (tam tam tam)
pensa amore mio che t'insegnai mille altri cieli e non seppi mai soffiarti il vento sulle ali aspettai un addio e il giorno di lasciarmi ti lasciai
credi figlio mio mi mancano i tuoi baci che non ho e sono i soli baci che io so piccolo figlio
e tu compagno dalle orecchie a punta io ti parlai di me come a un fratello a cui ci si racconta io non ne avevo e allora presi te e quella tua sgomenta e nostra malattia di vivere
giura amico mio che glielo metteremo ancora lì a questa vita che va via così senza aspettarci
Mr. President (Have Pity On The Working Man) Composer(s): Randy Newman Performer(s): Randy Newman; Saint Paul & His Coalition of the Willing
We've taken all you've given It's getting hard to make a living Mister President, have pity on the working man

Go All The Way Composer(s): Eric Carmen Performer(s): The Raspberries; and various other artists
I never knew how complete love could be Till she kissed me and said "Baby, please go all the way It feels so right Being with you here tonight Please, go all the way Just hold me close Don't ever let me go"
I couldn't say what I wanted to say Till she whispered, "I love you so Please go all the way It feels so right Being with you here tonight Please, go all the way Just hold me close Don't ever let me go"
Before her love I was cruel and mean I had a hole in the place where my heart should have been But now I've changed And it feels so strange I come alive when she does all those things to me And she says "Come on" (Come on) "Come on" (Come on) "Come on" (Come on) "Come on" (Come on) "I need you" (Come on) "I love you" (Come on) "I need you" (Come on)
Please, go all the way It feels so right being with you here tonight Please, go all the way Just hold me close Don't ever let me go
