My Dreams Are Getting Better All The Time
Composer(s): Mann Curtis; Vic Mizzy
Performer(s): Les Brown & Doris Day
and various other artists



Well, what do you know 
He smiled at me in my dreams last night
My dreams are getting better all the time
And, what do you know 
he smiled at me in a different light
My dreams are getting better all the time

To think that we were strangers a couple of nights ago
And though it's a dream 
I never dreamed he'd ever say hello
Oh, maybe tonight I'll hold him tight 
when the moonbeams shine
My dreams are getting better all the time

To think that we were strangers a couple of nights ago
And though it's a dream 
I never dreamed he'd ever say hello
Oh, maybe tonight I'll hold him tight 
when the moonbeams shine
My dreams are getting better all the time

Good Planets Are Hard To Find
Composer(s): Steve Forbert
Performer(s): Steve Forbert



Good planets are hard to find
Temp'rate zones and tropic climes
True currents in thriving seas
Winds blowin' through breathing trees
Strong ozone and safe sunshine
Good planets are hard to find

Good planets are in demand
Clean beaches and sparkling sand
Land masses with room to spare
Jet streams and perfect air
High forests and low wetlands
Good planets are in demand

And the mind don't know
If the heart can't see
Let the blind man go
To his destiny...

Good planets are rare indeed
Rain fallin' on crops and seed
Big rivers and good topsoil
Fuel sources from cane to oil
Green gardens of all we need
Good planets are rare indeed

And the mind don't know
If the heart can't see
Let the blind man go
To his destiny...

Good planets are scarce and few
Earthworms and caribou
Strong food chains and tasty meals
Textiles and plants that heal
Iron mountains and skies of blue
Good planets are scarce and few

Teach Me Tonight
((Danish Version: Lær Os Det Nu (Ulla & Grethe) - 1968))
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Gene DePaul
First release by: Janet Brace - 1954
Covered by multiple other artists



Did you say that I've got a lot to learn 
Well don't think I'm trying not to learn 
Since this is the perfect spot to learn 
Teach me tonight 

Starting with the ABC of it 
Getting right down to the XYZ of it 
Help me solve the mystery of it 
Teach me tonight 

The sky's a blackboard high above you 
And if a shooting star goes by 
I'll use that star to write "I love you" 
A thousand times across the sky 

One thing isn't very clear my love 
Teachers shouldn't stand so near my love 
Graduation's almost here my love 
You'd better teach me tonight 

I've played loves scenes in a flick or two 
And I've also met a chick or two 
But I still can learn a trick or two 
Hey teach me tonight 

I who thought I knew the score of it 
Kind of think I should know much more of it 
Off the wall, the bed, the floor of it 
Hey teach me tonight 

The midnight hours come slowly creeping 
When there's no one there but you 
There must be more to life than sleeping 
Single in a bed for two 

What I need most is post graduate 
What I feel is hard to articulate 
If you want me to matriculate 
You'd better teach me tonight 

What do you get for lessons 
Teach me... come on and teach me... teach me tonight

My Dream
Composer(s): Buck Ram
Performer(s): The Platters



My Dream
Is a wondrous dream
It's the answer too
Wanting only you

My Dream
Is a true delight
My escape at night
From a world that's blue

The world we know
Seems so far away
And where we go
Is for us to say

My Dream
Is a wealth of joy
No one can destroy
When I dream my dream
It's no common dream
It's a wondrous dream
Dream...

Good Ole Boys Like Me
Composer(s): Bob McDill; Don Williams
Performer(s): Don Williams



When I was a kid uncle Remus he put me to bed
With a picture of Stonewall Jackson above my head
With gin in his breath and a bible in his hand
And he talked about honor and things I should know
Then he staggered a little as he went out the door

(Chorus)

And I still hear the soft southern wind in the live oak trees
Those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me
Hank and Tennessee
I guess we’re all gonna be what we’re gonna be
So what do you do with good ole boys like me?

Well, nothing makes a sound in the night like the wind does
But you ain’t afraid if you’re washed in the blood like I was
John R. and the wolfman kept me company
By the light of the radio by my bed
With Thomas Wolfe whispering in my head

(Chorus)

When I was in school I ran with a kid down the street
And I watched him burn himself up on bourbon and speed
But I was smarted than most, and I could choose
Learned to talk like the man on the six o’clock news
When I was eighteen, lord, I hit the road
But it don’t seem to matter how far I go

(Chorus)

Come along and be my party doll
Come along and be my party doll

My Discarded Men
Composer(s): Steve Bronski; R. Gammons; Eartha Kitt
Performer(s): Eartha Kitt



I'd like to tell a little story
That's been told time and time again
About the foolish men who chased me
My discarded men

They used to tell me they loved me
But I knew better than them
I'd find them looking around the corner
My discarded men

Piercing eyes with a vengion
Tell them to count to ten
They'd bribe me with their diamonds
My discarded men

Telephone calls in the evening
They'd drive me round the bend
Caviar, champagne and roses
From my discarded men

Chased me after a fashion
I could never pretend
No substitute for passion
My discarded men

You think you can thrill me
Ha Ha Ha
You can think again
Watch out or you might become
One of my discarded men

I'd like to dress up in sequins
And treat myself now and then
Perhaps I'll give a little favor
To one of my discarded men

Ha Ha Ha
You think you can win me
And be my special friend
Just take a tip from the others
Grrrrrrr
My discarded men

My discarded men

Good old New York, it's never down

I will be there
In my easy chair
We'll have a good time, baby
I don't mean maybe
In good old New York

Teach Me About Love
Composer(s): Walter Hyatt - Ralph Stanley II
First release by: Walter Hyatt - 1993
Covered by multiple other artists



Darlin' don't walk out on me
Tryin' to teach me a lesson
Thinkin' you'll come back to a better man
If you don't like the way things go
Just stay here and tell me so
'Cause there's one thing about me
You've got to understand

I've had enough lonesome
In my education
I don't want to study anymore
About a woman and a slammin' door
If I wanna be blue
I've got enough information
I know about lonesome
Teach me about love

Now the words from your sweet lips
And the looks from your sweet eyes
Are lessons that I study day by day
Each day I pick up somethin' new
Each night I learn a thing or two
But how can I learn anything
When teacher's gone away?

I've had enough lonesome
In my education
I don't want to study anymore
How to make it through a barroom door
I've been down and out
I'm ready for inspiration
I know about lonesome
Teach me about love

Now the words from your sweet lips
And the looks from your sweet eyes
Are lessons that I study every day
Each day I pick up somethin' new
Each night I learn a thing or two
But how can I learn anything
When teacher's gone away?

I've had enough lonesome
In my education
I don't want to study anymore
About a woman and a slammin' door
If I wanna be blue
I've got enough information
I know about lonesome
Teach me about love

I've had enough lonesome
In my education
I don't want to study anymore
How to make it through a barrom door
I've been down and out
I'm ready for inspiration
I know about lonesome
Teach me about love

I know about lonesome
Teach me about love...

When I was a little biddy boy
My grandma bought me a cute little toy
Two Silver bells on a string
She told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling

My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling 
won't you play with My Ding-A-Ling

When I was little boy In Grammar school
Always went by the very best rule
But Evertime the bell would ring 
You'd catch me playing with my ding-a-ling

Once while climbing the garden wall
Slipped and fell had a very bad fall
I fell so hard I heard birds sing
But I held on to My ding-a-ling

Once while swimming cross turtle creek 
Man them snappers right at my feet
Sure was hard swimming cross that thing
with both hands holding my dingaling

Now this here song it ain't so bad
Prettiest little song that you ever had
And those of you who will not sing 
must be playing with your on Ding-a-ling

Good Old Desk
Composer(s): Harry Nilsson
Performer(s): Harry Nilsson; Ron Sexsmith



Oowah Oowah ah ah ah-ah 
Oowah Oowah ah

My old desk doesn't arabesque
in the morning when I first arrive
It's a pleasure to see it's waiting there for me
to keep my hopes alive
Such a comfort to know it's got no place to go
it's always there
It's the one thing I've got, a huge success
my Good Old Desk

My old desk never needs a rest
and I've never once heard it cry
I've never seen it tease, it's always there to please me
from nine to five
Such a comfort to know, it's dependable and slow
but it's always there
It's the friend I've got, a giant of all times
my Good Old Desk

Oowah Oowah ah ah ah-ah 
Oowah Oowah ah

My old desk isn't pictoresque
but it's happy as a desk can be
We never say a word, but it's perfectly alright with me
For when my heart's on the blow, I just open the drawer
of my favorite desk
And what do I see? 
But a picture of me
working at my Good Old Desk

Oowah Oowah ah ah ah-ah 
Oowah Oowah ah

Tea In The Sahara
Composer(s): Sting
First release by: The Police - 1983



My sisters and I
Have this wish before we die
And it may sound strange
As if our minds are deranged
Please don't ask us why
Beneath the sheltering sky
We have this strange obsession
You have the means in your possession

We want our tea in the Sahara with you
We want our tea in the Sahara with you

The young man agreed
He would satisfy their need
So they danced for his pleasure
With a joy you could not measure
They would wait for him here
The same place every year
Beneath the sheltering sky
Across the desert he would fly

Tea in the Sahara with you
Tea in the Sahara with you

The sky turned to black
Would he ever come back?
They would climb a high dune
They would pray to the moon
But he'd never return
So the sisters would burn
As their eyes searched the land
With their cups full of sand

Tea in the Sahara with you
Tea in the Sahara with you
Tea in the Sahara with you
Tea in the Sahara with you

My Devotion
Composer(s): Roc Hillman; Johnny Napton
Performer(s): Vaughn Monroe
and various other artists



My devotion
Is endless and deep as the ocean
And like a star shining from afar
Remains forever the same

My devotion
Is not just a sudden emotion
It will be constantly burning
And your love will kindle the flame

What a sweet beginning
To the dream I planned
I'm content to be your slave
Your wish is my command

And this sensation
Was never a mere fascination
Here in my heart one sweet day it started
Then with time improved
My devotion to you

Good Old Days
Composer(s): Weird Al Yankovic
Performer(s): Weird Al Yankovic



Oh some times I think back to when I was younger
Life was so much simpler then
Dad would be up at dawn
He'd be watering the lawn
Or maybe going fishing again

Oh and mom would be fixing up something in the kitchen
Fresh biscuits or hot apple pie
And I'd spend all day long in the basement
Torturing rats with a hack-saw
And pulling the wings off of flies

Those were the good old days
Those were the good old days
The years go by but the memory stays
And those were the good old days

I can still remember good old Mr. Fender
Who ran the corner grocery store
Oh, he'd strolled down the aisle with a big friendly smile
And he'd say "Howdy" when you walked in the door

Always treated me nice, gave me kindly advice
I don't know why I set fire to his place
Oh I'll never forget the day I bashed in his head
Well you should've seen the look on his face

Let me tell ya now

Those were the good old days
Those were the good old days
The years go by but the memory stays
And those were the good old days

Do you remember sweet Michelle
She was my high school romance
She was fun to talk to and nice to smell
So I took her to the homecoming dance

Then I tied her to a chair and I shaved off all her hair
And I left her in the desert all alone
Well sometimes in my dreams
I can still hear the screams
Oh I wonder if she ever made it home

I tell ya

Those were the good old days
Those were the good old days
The years go by but the memory stays
And those were the good old days

Let me tell ya buddy

Those were the good old days
Those were the good old days
The years go by but the memory stays
And those were the good old days

Covered by multiple other artists



Picture you upon my knee
Just tea for two and two for tea
Just me for you
And you for me alone

Nobody near us
To see us or hear us
No friends or relations
On weekend vacations
We won't have it known, dear
That we own a telephone, dear 

Day will break and you'll awake 
And start to bake a sugar cake 
For me to take
For all the boys to see

We will raise a family
A boy for you, a girl for me
Oh, can't you see
How happy we would be?

My Destiny
Performer(s): Lionel Richie



You came in 
That's what my little heart was looking for
Laughter in the rain
Feeling like a fool in love again!

Oh the laughter came
When the tears stopped falling
Now all I do is just call your name

You walked in and my heart discovered
That my life would never be the same

Oh you are my destiny

With your power of love you just hypnotize
I just love the magic of your spell
How much joy we have together
Only time will tell!
