    Teddy
    Composer(s): Paul Anka
    Performer(s): Connie Francis



    There's a guy I want you to know
    He's the guy I love so
    He's my Teddy, oh Teddy
    I I love you so

    Oh I remember the day that we met
    I'd be so silly to ever forget
    Oh Teddy, Aw Teddy
    I I love him so

    He is so shy, it doesn't matter
    You're my guy can't you see
    That I want you, I need you
    I love you I do
    And you belong to me

    I'll always love you
    The rest of my life
    We could get married
    I'd be your wife
    Wo-o-o Teddy, aw Teddy
    I, I love you so

    I'll always love you
    The rest of my life
    We could get married
    I'd be your wife
    Wo-o-o Teddy, aw Teddy
    I, I love you so

    My Garden Of Love
    Composer(s): Benny Hill
    Performer(s): Benny Hill



    The sun and the rain fell from up above
    And landed on the earth below
    In my garden of love

    Now there’s a rose for the way my spirits rose when we met
    A forget-me-not to remind me to remember not to forget
    A pine tree for the way I pined over you
    And an ash for the day I ashed you to be true

    And the sun and the rain fell from up above
    And landed on the earth below
    In my garden of love

    Now there’s a palm tree that we planted when we had our first date
    A turnip for the way you always used to turnip late
    Your mother and your cousin, Chris, they often used to come
    So, in their honour, I have raised a nice chris-an’-the-mum

    And the sun and the rain fell from up above
    And landed on the earth below
    In my garden of love

    Now there’s a beetroot for the day you said that you’d beetroot to me
    A sweet pea for the sweet way you always smiled at me
    But you had friends who needed you
    There was Ferdy, there was Liza
    So, just for them, I put down a load of ferdy-liza

    And the sun and the rain fell from up above
    And landed on the earth below
    In my garden of love

    But Gus the gardener’s left now and you went with him, too
    The fungus there reminds me of the fun Gus is having with you
    Now the rockery’s a mockery, with weeds it’s overgrown
    The fuchsia’s gone, I couldn’t face the fuchsia all alone

    And my tears fell like raindrops from the sky above
    And poisoned all the flowers in my garden of love

    Performer(s): The Association;
    George Benson; The Lounge-O-Leers



    Got to say hello
    It's a lucky day
    Kiss the moon goodbye
    And be on our way
    It's a lucky day 'cause I found you
    Gonna build a new world around you
    Touch the sun and run
    It's a lucky day

    Hello life
    Goodbye Columbus
    I've got a feeling
    that you're gonna hear from us
    You're gonna know
    That we've taken the world by surprise
    Got that look in our eyes
    It's a lucky day
    Just for changin'
    Leavin' the old world behind
    Lucky day for walkin' a new road
    Just to clear your mind
    It's a day for startin' a new way
    Tellin' the old one goodbye
    Lucky day for gettin' above it
    Spread your wings and fly

    Hello life
    Goodbye Columbus
    I've got a feeling
    that you're gonna hear from us
    You're gonna know
    That we've taken the world by surprise
    Got that look in our eyes
    It's a lucky day

    Goodbye, goodbye Columbus
    Goodbye, goodbye Columbus

    Tecumseh Valley
    Composer(s): Townes Van Zandt
    First release by: Townes Van Zandt - 1968
    Covered by multiple other artists



    The name she gave was Caroline
    daughter of a miner
    her ways were free
    it seemed to me
    that sunshine walked beside her

    She came from Spencer
    across the hill
    she said her pa had sent her
    'cause the coal was low
    and soon the snow
    would turn the skies to winter

    She said she'd come
    to look for work
    she was not seeking favors
    and for a dime a day
    and a place to stay
    she'd turn those hands to labor

    But the times were hard, Lord
    the jobs were few
    all through Tecumseh valley
    but she asked around
    and a job she found
    tending bar at Gypsy Sally's

    She saved enough to get back home
    when spring replaced the winter
    but her dreams were denied
    her pa had died
    the word come down from Spencer

    So she turned to whorin' out on the streets
    with all the lust inside her
    and it was many a man
    returned again
    to lay himself beside her

    They found her down beneath the stairs
    that led to Gypsy Sally's
    in her hand when she died
    was a note that cried
    fare thee well... Tecumseh valley

    The name she gave was Caroline
    daughter of a miner
    her ways were free
    it seemed to me
    that sunshine walked beside her

    My Funny Valentine
    Dutch Title: Mijn Kleine Valentijn
    Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Lorenz Hart
    Originally performed by: Mitzi Green
    Covered by various other artists



    Behold the way our fine feathered friend
    His virtue doth parade
    Thou knowest not, my dim-witted friend
    The picture thou hast made
    Thy vacant brow, and thy tousled hair
    Conceal thy good intent
    Thou noble upright truthful sincere
    And slightly dopey gent, you are...

    My funny valentine, sweet comic valentine
    You make me smile with my heart
    Your looks are laughable, un-photographable
    Yet, you're my favorite work of art

    Is your figure less than Greek?
    Is your mouth a little weak?
    When you open it to speak
    Are you smart?

    But, don't change a hair for me
    Not if you care for me
    Stay little valentine, stay
    Each day is Valentine's Day

    Is your figure less than Greek?
    Is your mouth a little weak?
    When you open it to speak
    Are you smart?

    But, don't change a hair for me
    Not if you care for me
    Stay little valentine, stay
    Each day is Valentine's Day

    Goodbye California
    Composer(s): Nicolas Peyrac
    Performer(s): Nicolas Peyrac



    Goodbye California je t'aimais bien il me semble
    Mais y'a longtemps
    Que j'ai redécouvert Paris
    Goodbye California ne m'en veux pas s'il me semble
    Que chez moi
    C'est plus ici qu'à Beverly
    Goodbye California je t'aimais bien mais l'amour
    Ca s'en va
    Sans qu'on sache vraiment pourquoi
    Goodbye California on se reverra un jour
    Qui peut dire
    Comment demain la vie sera

    J'ai un peu marre de ton côté bidon
    Le genre maison couleur bonbon
    Ne me fais plus faire de bonds
    J'ai pourtant vu l'endroit, l'envers
    De Malibu et de Bel-Air
    Je voudrais bien qu'on oublie les dollars
    Qu'on parle moins d'argent que d'espoir
    Et qu'on nous dise que les stars
    Après tout ne sont pas des Dieux
    Presque immortels et jamais vieux

    Goodbye California je t'aimais bien il me semble
    Mais y'a longtemps
    Que j'ai redécouvert Paris
    Goodbye California ne m'en veux pas s'il me semble
    Que chez moi
    C'est plus ici qu'à Beverly

    Je voudrais bien qu'on arrête un moment
    De dire que musicalement
    C'est de chez vous que vient le vent
    Le vent, il vient de n'importe où
    Et quelquefois c'est de chez nous
    Arrêtez de cultiver le Français
    Le genre restaurant bien coté
    Où l'on ne bouffe qu'à moitié
    Tant on a les yeux occupés
    Par les stars qui viennent dîner

    Goodbye California je t'aimais bien il me semble
    Mais y'a longtemps
    Que j'ai redécouvert Paris
    Goodbye California ne m'en veux pas s'il me semble
    Que chez moi
    C'est plus ici qu'à Beverly

    Et si j'étais un enfant de chez vous
    J'aurais du mal à être fou
    Le Pacifique c'est pas tout
    Moi je connais en Normandie
    Des coins où plane la folie

    Goodbye California je t'aimais bien il me semble
    Mais y'a longtemps
    Que j'ai redécouvert Paris
    Goodbye California ne m'en veux pas s'il me semble
    Que chez moi
    C'est plus ici qu'à Beverly
    Goodbye California je t'aimais bien mais l'amour
    Ca s'en va
    Sans qu'on sache vraiment pourquoi
    Goodbye California on se reverra un jour
    Qui peut dire
    Comment demain la vie sera

    Techo De Tejas Rojas
    Performer(s): Victor Heredia



    Techo de tejas rojas
    donde mi juventud
    gastó sus viejas botas
    desde tu cielo
    mirando al sur
    Caballo de mis penas
    de cal y arena
    será tu cruz
    Techo de tejas rojas
    horizonte de paz
    donde la lluvia moja
    con gusto a trigo
    y a rubio pan
    Quiero volar tu alero
    cielo primero
    junto al pinar
    Y desandar volando
    toda mi vida y mi ser
    aquel vigía lombardo
    y en tu horizonte
    permanecer
    Que mi paloma herida
    ya no puede seguir
    que se le va la vida
    y entre tus tejas quiere morir
    Techo de tejas rojas
    ardiente rosa
    del cielo azul
    Cobíjame en tu alero
    fiel compañero
    bajo tu luz

    My Front Door Is Open
    Composer(s): Hank Thompson
    Performer(s): Hank Thompson



    My front door is open for someone like you
    Won't you come in for a while
    My front door is open for someone like you
    Gee!, but I like your smile

    So come on in then, let's get well acquainted
    I'll bet that you'll like me too
    And the two of us won't ever fuss, so everything's all right
    My front door is open for you

    My front door is open for someone like you
    But it's been closed a long, long time
    I've sat at home, my telephone don't ring anymore
    I seldom see that ol' sunhine

    Although I haven't got a lot to offer
    I've got a heart that's true
    It's plain to see that you and me could get along just fine
    My front door is open for you

    Technique
    Composer(s): Johnny Mercer
    Performer(s): Pat Boone



    You love 'em you leave 'em
    That's what is known as technique technique
    The more you deceive 'em the more they like your technique

    Ah they have de feminine mind
    which is something like being colour blind
    Ah we keep 'em guessing and that is how
    we out manoeuvre womankind

    Ohhhh the womenfolk their back is broad
    de brain is weak
    So they pigeon for de bachelor's technique

    Strong-arm them cave-man them
    they're unimpressed with the male physique
    The more you deadpan 'em
    the more they like your technique

    Some like the arrogant stare
    others like the shy retiring air
    While there are others who like you best of all
    when you ain't even there

    Ohhhh.. de woman folk their face is fair
    their brain is weak
    Sooooo..h they pigeon for the bachelor's technique

    But to make them jump thru the ring
    or to keep them dangling on a string
    You find out what they want you to do
    and you do the opposite thing

    The less you caress them
    they more they turn the other cheek
    The more you outguess them
    the more they like your technique

    So just remember what I have told you
    and always keep it in mind
    We keep 'em guessing and that is how
    we out manoeuvre womankind

    (I repeat now)
    Keep 'em guessing and that is how
    we out manoeuvre womankind (repeat)

    Performer(s): Demis Roussos;
    Roberto Delgado; Francisco Garcia



    My friend the wind will come from the hills
    When dawn will rise, he'll wake me again
    My friend the wind will tell me a secret
    He shares with me, he shares with me

    My friend the wind will come from the north
    With words of love, she whispered for me
    My friend the wind will say she loves me
    And me alone, and me alone

    I'll hear her voice and the words
    That he brings from Helenimou
    Sweet as a kiss are the songs of Aghapimou
    Soft as the dew is the touch of Manoulamou
    Oh oh oh

    We'll share a dream where I'm never away from Helenimou
    Blue are the days like the eyes of Aghapimou
    Far from the world will I live with Manoulamou
    Oh oh oh

    My friend the wind go back to the hills
    And tell my love a day will soon come
    Oh friendly wind you tell a secret
    You know so well, oh you know so well

    I'll hear her voice and the words
    That he brings from Helenimou
    Sweet as a kiss are the songs of Aghapimou
    Soft as the dew is the touch of Manoulamou
    Oh oh oh

    La la la .... Helenimou
    La la la .... Aghapimou
    La la la .... Manoulamou

    Goodbye baby, so long girl
    I know you ain't gonna like it
    But I'm stepping right out in your world

    Teasin'
    Composer(s): Richard Adler - Philip Springer
    Performer(s): Petula Clark



    Mummy told me she would scold me
    if a boy I kissed
    But I can't resist teasin'
    Always gets `em, it upsets `em
    But what can I do
    `cause it's all so new, teasin'

    Now the good book says that nothing repays
    The harm a life of sin does
    But I must confide, we can't decide
    Till we find what it is that Errol Flynn does

    Mummy told me she would scold me
    if a boy I kissed
    But I can't resist teasin'

    At the riding school, the teacher was cool
    And he seemed a harmless person
    But after the ride he took me aside
    And was I glad I kept my spurs on

    Always gets `em, it upsets `em
    But what can I do
    `cause it's all so new, teasin'

    There's a boy I like who likes to hike
    But in no uncertain language
    I refused to stop when he said he'd drop
    If he didn't have a nibble at my corned beef sandwich

    Mummy told me she would scold me
    if a boy I kissed
    But I can't resist teasin'

    Now it's love that makes this world go round
    `cause we all love hanky-panky (Do ya)
    Keep one eye on an Englishman
    But you'd better keep two on a gosh-darned Yankee

    Always gets `em, it upsets `em
    But when day is done
    Where's the bloomin' fun
    In teasin'
    On a moonlight night
    When the stars shine bright
    Somehow Mama don't seem so right
    `cause, faith, it's all so pleasin'

    Composer(s): Jack Fishman; Ron Goodwin
    Performer(s): Petula Clark



    Oh, you great ocean so deep
    Oh, you ocean so wide
    I feel you are my friend
    So in you I confide

    You know the world
    Every land, every shore
    There's not a place
    You don't explore

    Send every wave
    As it rolls on it's way
    Searchin' high, searchin' low
    Searchin' each little bay

    Send out a plea to the
    Whole of seven seas
    Where is the one I adore

    My friend, the sea
    Be true to me
    My love, one day
    Sailed far away

    My friend, the sea
    Please ask the tide
    To bring my love
    Home to my side

    Oh, you great ocean so deep
    Oh, you ocean so wide
    There are hearts you unite
    There are hearts you divide

    You know the world
    Every riddle, mountain, stream
    Look every where you've ever been

    Ask all the fish as they swim out to sea
    Would they pass on the word as a favor to me
    Maybe they'll look out some little brook
    And find the one I adore

    My friend, the sea
    Be good to me
    My love, one day
    Sailed far away

    My friend, the sea
    Please ask the tide
    To bring my love
    Home to my side

    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    Goodbye, baby, baby, bye bye
    Goodbye, baby, baby, bye bye
    Goodbye, baby, baby, bye bye
    I'm gonna leave you now

    (mixture)
    backups sing a series of 8 "baby, bye, bye's" and a bunch of "oh, oh, oh's"

    Oh, goodbye, baby, bye bye
    Goodbye, baby, bye bye
    Goodbye, baby, bye bye
    Johnny's going away

    Take my hand, pretty baby, bye bye
    One more time, pretty baby, bye bye
    Take my hand, pretty baby, bye bye
    Hope you'll understand

    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    Goodbye, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-by
    Goodbye, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-by
    (Goo-ood, bye bye)
    (Goo-ood, bye bye)!!

    Tears On My Pillow
    Composer(s): Sylvester Bradford - Al Lewis
    First release by: Little Anthony & the Imperials - 1958
    Covered by multiple other artists



    You don't remember me, but I remember you
    't was not so long ago, you broke my heart in two
    Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you

    If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
    I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hand of fate
    Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you

    Love is not a gadget, love is not a toy
    When you find the one you love, she'll fill your heart with joy

    If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
    I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hands of fate
    Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you
    Oh wo wo wo you you
    wo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

    My Friend The Rose
    French Title: Mon Amie La Rose
    Performer(s): Michel Montecrossa & the Chosen Few
    (Originally performed by: Françoise Hardy)



    A lifetime comes and goes
    And as my friend the rose said only yesterday
    "This morning I was born and baptised in the dawn
    I flowered in the dew and life was fresh and new
    The sun shone through the cold
    And through the day I grew, by night-time I was old"
    "At least there's never been
    No, you have never seen, a rose more bright and gay"

    A lifetime comes and goes
    And as my friend the rose said only yesterday
    "The good lord smiled on me, so why then should it be
    I feel I'm falling now, oh yes, I'm falling now
    My heart no-one can save
    My head begins to bow, my feet are in the grave"
    The rose God smiled upon
    Tomorrow will be gone, forever gone away

    A lifetime comes and goes
    And so my friend the rose was dead at break of day
    The moon is shining bright and in my dreams tonight
    Beneath the starlit sky, my friend the rose goes by
    He has seen my dreams I see
    A soul that wouldn't die, still watching over me
    Whatever fortune brings
    I'll hope for better things or life will just be grey

    "A lifetime comes and goes"
    That's what my friend the rose said only yesterday

    Goodbye
    Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
    Performer(s): Mary Hopkin;
    The Beatles; Bill Janovitz;
    Anthony Johnson; Anita Kerr; John Lennon



    Please don't wake me until late tomorrow comes
    And I will not be late
    Late today when it becomes tomorrow
    I will leave to go away
    Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye my love goodbye
    Songs that lingered on my lips excite me now
    And linger on my mind
    Leave your flowers at my door
    I'll leave them for the one who waits behind
    Far away my lover sings a lonely song
    And calls me to his side
    When the song of lonely love
    Invites me on I must go to his side
    Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye my love goodbye

    Tears Of Rage
    Composer(s): Bob Dylan - Richard Manuel
    First recording/First release by: Bob Dylan & The Band - 1967/1975
    Covered by multiple other artists



    We carried you in our arms on Independence Day
    And now you'd throw us all aside and put us all away
    Oh, what dear daughter 'neath the sun could treat a father so?
    To wait upon him hand and foot and always tell him "No"

    Tears of rage, tears of grief
    Why must I always be the thief?
    Come to me now, you know we're so low
    And life is brief

    It was all very painless
    When you went out to receive
    All that false instruction
    Which we never could believe
    And now the heart is filled with gold
    As if it was a purse
    But, oh, what kind of love is this
    Which goes from bad to worse?

    Tears of rage, tears of grief
    Why must I always be the thief?
    Come to me now, you know we're so low
    And life is brief

    We pointed you the way to go
    And scratched your name in sand
    Though you just thought it was nothing more
    Than a place for you to stand
    I want you to know that while we watched
    You discovered no one would be true
    And I myself was among
    The ones who thought
    It was just a childish thing to do

    Tears of rage, tears of grief
    Why must I always be the thief?
    Come to me now, you know we're so low
    And life is brief

    My Friend The Doctor
    Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
    Originally performed by: Anthony Newley
    Covered by various other artists



    Matthew:
    He's altogether a marvellous man, an' he understands the Irish!
    ..........and any man who understands the Irish
    Can't be reckoned altogether bad
    The same way that a lunatic
    Whose patron saint is Patrick
    Can't be reckoned altogether mad

    The doctor's very smart
    He's an Irishman at heart
    His favourite colour, sure it must be green
    Also he's a man
    Who'll blarney when he can
    Let me explain the sort of thing I mean

    My friend the doctor says
    The moon is made of apple pie
    And once a month it's eaten by the sun
    And that is why
    Up in the sky
    You'll find as every month goes by
    Somebody in the sky's makin' another one!

    My friend the doctor says
    The sun is made of cheddar cheese
    The doctor even knows the reason why
    The facts are these
    Try if you please
    Pretendin' you're a lonely cheese
    Wouldn't you want to try findin' an apple pie?

    Of course you would!

    Maybe what the doctor tells me
    Isn't altogether true
    But I love every tale he tells me
    I don't know any better ones - do you?

    My friend the doctor says
    The world is full of fantasy
    And who are you and I to disagree?
    Let's hope and pray
    That is the way
    The life we love will always stay
    For my friend the doctor
    And me!

    Matthew & Company:
    My friend the doctor says
    The stars are made of lemon drops
    The bigger ones are lollipops and ice
    The clouds have shops
    Up on the tops
    That sell you sweets and soda - pops
    What do they call the place - isn't it paradise?

    Company:
    My friend the doctor says
    That every time it starts to rain
    And people run indoors again in swarms
    If you remain
    Out in the rain
    You'll think you're drinkin' pink champagne!
    And you'll spend your life
    Prayin' for thunderstorms!

    Maybe what the doctor tells me
    Isn't altogether true
    But I love every tale he tells me
    I don't know any better ones - do you?

    Matthew:
    My friend the doctor says
    The world is full of fantasy
    And who are you and I to disagree?
    Let's hope and pray
    That is the way
    The life we love will always stay
    For my friend the doctor
    My friend the doctor and me!
