My Kind Of Town (Chicago Is) Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; James Van Heusen Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
Now this could only happen to a guy like me And only happen in a town like this And so I say to each of you most gratefully As I throw each one of you a kiss
This is my kind of town, Chicago is My kind of town, Chicago is My kind of people too People who, smile at you
And each time I roam, Chicago is Calling me home, Chicago is One town that won't let you down It's my kind of town
My kind of town, Chicago is My kind of town, Chicago is My kind of razzmatazz And it has, all that jazz
And each time I leave, Chicago is Tuggin' my sleeve, Chicago is The Wrigley Building, Chicago is The Chicago Cubbies, Chicago is One town that won't let you down It's my kind of town

Tell Me Composer(s): Tom Scholz Performer(s): Boston
I stand on my own And wonder if you've ever been alone with all the world around you Say the word; I'd be there And like a fool I'd go anywhere Just like the day I found you Tell me what you see Tell me you believe in my love Tell me what you need Tell me you believe in my love I don't understand what to say You take my breath then you walk away Your life goes on without me And you can look right at me But in your eyes it's a mystery What do you fell about me? Tell me if it's real Tell me what you feel in my love Tell me what you see Tell me you believe in my love Tell me what to give Tell me I can live for your love Tell me not to leave Tell me to believe in your love I don't really know what to say I don't know how but I could learn to pray If prayin' makes you hear me I could stay on my own And wonder if I'd have ever known But I just want you near me Tell me if it's real Tell me what you feel in my love Tell me what you need Tell me you believe in my love Tell me what to give Tell me how to live for your love Tell me what you see Tell me to believe in your love
My Kind Of Music Composer(s): Edgar Leslie; Phillip Park Performer(s): Sam Browne; Lew Stone
Roaring traffic, the tramping of feet Lilting laughter from crowds in the street Thats my kind of music I want to go to town Phone bells ringing, a pneumatic drill Swing doors swinging, loose change in the till Thats my kind of music I want to go to town
Two lovers doing a spot of wooing Inside a taxi creeping round the park The elevators, the escalators The roar of rush hour trains And mind the doors, pass down the car, please
Give me rhythm, the best in the land Let me hear that Palladium band Thats my kind of music The top of the world is London Town I want to go to town
Goofus Composer(s): William Harold; Gus Kahn; Wayne King Performer(s): The Carpenters; and various other artists
I was born on a farm out in Ioway A flaming youth Who was bound that he'd fly away I packed my grip And I grabbed my saxophone Can't read notes but I play anything by ear I made up tunes on the sounds that I used to hear I'd start to play, folks used to say Sounds a little goofus to me
Corn-fed chords appeal to me I like rustic harmony Hold the note 'n change the key That's called goofus Not accordin' to the rules That you learn at music schools But the folks just dance like fools They love goofus
Got a job but I just couldn't keep it long The leader said I played all the music wrong So I stepped out with an outfit of my own Got together a new kind of orchestry And we all played just the same goofus harmony And I must admit, we made a hit Goofus has been lucky for me
I must admit, we made a hit Goofus has been lucky for me
Tell Mama Composer(s): Raymond Simmonds Performer(s): Savoy Brown
Quit my job, aint got no money Seems I have to leave this town Packed my bags, run to the station Board the train thats eastward bound
Tell Mama And all the folks back home Sometimes a man just feels He's got to make it alone Tell Mama Why I'm leaving so soon Because this life I live Has got me sick through and through
Nothing to do, thats why I had to go Seemed no use in hanging round I can't stop now, the tickets in my hand Board the train thats eastward bound
Tell Mama And all the folks back home Sometimes a man just feels He's got to make it alone Tell Mama Why I'm leaving so soon Because this life I live Has got me sick through and through
Quit my job, aint got no money Seems I have to leave this town
Tell Mama And all the folks back home Sometimes a man just feels He's got to make it alone Tell Mama Why I'm leaving so soon Because this life I live Has got me sick through and through
Goody Two Shoes Composer(s): Adam Ant; Marco Pirroni Performer(s): Adam & The Ants; Danny Dean & The Homewreckers; The Starlite Singers
With the heartbreak open so much you can't hide Put on a little make up make - up
Make sure they get your good side good side If the words unspoken get stuck in your throat Send a treasure token token write it on a pound note pound note Goody Two Goody Two Goody-Goody Two Shoes Goody Two Goody Two Goody-Goody Two Shoes You don't drink don't smoke What do you do? You don't drink don't smoke What do you do? The subtle innuendos follow There must be something inside We don't follow fashion that would be a joke You know we're gonna set them set them
So evr'yone can take note take note When I saw you kneeling crying words that you mean Opening the eye-balls eye-balls Pretending that you're Al Green Al Green Goody-Two Goody-Two Goody-Goody Two Shoes . . . No one's gonna tell me what's wrong and what's right
Or tell me who to eat with sleep with Or foul up on the big fight big fight Look out or they will tell you you're a super star Two weeks and you're an all time legend I think the games have gone much too far If the word's unspoken get stuck in your throat . . . Don't drink don't smoke What do you do? . . Don't drink don't smoke What do you do? Don't drink don't smoke What do you do? Don't drink don't smoke What do you do?
Ne Me Splitte Pas ((Adapted from: Ne Me Quitte Pas (Simone Langlois) - 1959)) Composer(s): Jacques Brel - Hugo Poliart
Bronvermelding: http://www.13lignes.be (22 januari 2011)
Ne me splitte pas Il faut négocier Tout peut s'négocier Qui s'enfuit déjà? Oublier le temps Des malentendus Et le temps perdu À savoir comment Oublier ces heures Qui tuaient parfois À coups de pourquoi Le conciliateur Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas...
Moi je t'offrirai Des tas de compromis Un nouveau pays Où on ne chôme pas Je te laisserai des terres, et la Mer du Nord Si on peut encore, y boire une bonne bière Je ferai un domaine Où l'emploi sera à toi La sécu sera à moi Mais on gardera la Reine Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas...
Ne me splitte pas Je te rédigerai Des notes insensées Que tu approuveras Je te parlerai De ces partis-là Qui ont vu deux fois Leur score augmenter Je te raconterai L'histoire de ce roi Mort de n'avoir pas Pu se reposer Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas...
On a vu souvent Rejaillir le feu D'un gouvernement Qu'on croyait trop vieux Il est paraît-il Des têtes brûlées Prêtes à négocier Jusqu'au mois d'avril Mais quand je lis Le Soir Avec Jan Bucquoy Le rouge, jaune et noir Ne s'épousent-ils pas? Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas Je ne veux plus voter Je n'vais plus me raser Je me cacherai là À te regarder Parler et sourire Dans ma petite télé Pour éviter le pire Je veux bien grandir Te tendre la main Apprendre le latin Et l'apprendre à mon chien Mais Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas...
My Johnny Was A Shoemaker
(Tradional)
Performer(s): Steeleye Span
and multiple other artists
My Johnny was a shoemaker and dearly he loved me
My Johnny was a shoemaker but now he's gone to sea
With pitch and tar to soil his hands
He will sail across the sea, stormy sea
And sail across the stormy sea
His jacket was a deep sky-blue and curly was his hair
His jacket was a deep sky-blue, it was I do declare
And to reeve the top sails up against the mast
And to sail across the sea, stormy sea
He'll sail across the stormy sea
Some day he'll be a captain bold with a brave and gallant crew
Some day he'll be a captain bold with a sword and spy glass too
And when he has his gallant captain's sword
He'll come home and marry me, marry me
He will come home and marry me
My Johnny was a shoemaker and dearly he loved me
My Johnny was a shoemaker but now he's gone to sea
With pitch and tar to soil his hands
He will sail across the sea, stormy sea
And sail across the stormy sea
My Johnny he made shoes and dearly he loved me
With pitch all on his hands, he'll sail across the sea
His jacket it was blue, curly hair had he
He'll be a captain bold and sail across the sea
Stormy sea, He'll sail across the stormy sea

Tell Lorrie I Love Her Composer(s): Ben Raleigh - Jeff Barry - Keith Whitley Performer(s): Keith Whitley
If I were alone in the desert Without a drink of water around On my knees and hands in that white, scorching sand With the hot Sahara sun beating down If I could be granted my wishes If anything I want could come true I know that it might sound funny But here's what I'd want you to do
Tell Lorrie I love her Tell Lorrie I need her Tell her everything would be okay If I could just see her Tell Lorrie I love her Tell Lorrie I need her If I leave this old world Tell her she's the only girl for me
If I were adrift on the ocean A vessel with no sails or steam Floating aimlessly on and endless sea Hopelessly lost it would seem If all of the fish in the water Could echo my last dying plea I know you might not understand it But here's what I'd want it to be
Tell Lorrie I love her Tell Lorrie I need her Tell her everything would be okay If I could just see her Tell Lorrie I love her Tell Lorrie I need her If I leave this old world Tell her she's the only girl for me
If I leave this old world Tell her she's the only girl for me
My Isle Of Golden Dreams Composer(s): Gus Kahn; Walter Blaufuss Performer(s): Marty Robbins
Out of the mist lips I have kissed call tenderly Out of the west, hands I have pressed beckon to me Over the sea waiting for me lonely and blue Somebody sighs, somebody cries, I love you, I love you
Drifting in dreams, drifting it seems back to the shore Where hand in hand over the sand we'll stroll once more Heart of my heart, we'll never part, I hear her say But with the dawn my dreams have gone astray
I hear the voice of my land A-callin' me it seems Those fair Hawaiian islands My isle of golden dreams
I hear the voice of my land A-callin' me it seems Those fair Hawaiian islands My isle of golden dreams
Goody Goody Composer(s): Matty Malneck; Johnny Mercer Performer(s): Julie London; and various other artists
So you met someone
who set you back on your heels - goody goody So you met someone and now you know how it feels - goody goody So you gave him your heart too, just as I gave mine to you And he broke it in little pieces, now how do you do
So you lie awake just singin' the blues all night - goody goody So you think that love's a barrel of dynamite Hooray and hallelujah, you had it coming to ya Goody goody for him - goody goody for me And I hope you're satisfied you rascal you!

My Ideal Composer(s): Newell Chase; Leo Robin; Richard A. Whiting Performer(s): Jimmy Dorsey
Will I ever find the boy in my mind The one who is my ideal? Maybe hes a dream, and yet he might be Just around the corner waiting for me Will I recognise the light in his eyes That no other eyes reveal? Or will I pass him by And never even know that he is my ideal?
Or maybe hes a dream, and yet he might be Just around the corner waiting for me
Will I recognise the light in his eyes That no other eyes reveal? Although he may be late I trust in fate, and so I wait for my ideal I wait for my ideal
Goodnight, Wherever You Are Composer(s): Al Hoffman; Dick Robertson; Frank Weldon Performer(s): Doris Day; and various other artists

Goodnight wherever you are I'll be with you dear no matter how near or far With all my heart I pray everything is all right Wherever you are goodnight
Tell Laura I Love Her ((aka Tell Tommy I Miss Him (Marilyn Michaels) - 1960)) Composer(s): Jeff Barry - Ben Raleigh First release by: Ray Peterson - 1960 Covered by multiple other artists

Laura and Tommy were lovers He wanted to give her everything Flowers, presents and most of all, a wedding ring He saw a sign for a stock car race A thousand dollar prize it read He couldn't get Laura on the phone So to her mother Tommy said
Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her Tell Laura I may be late I've something to do, that cannot wait
He drove his car to the racing grounds He was the youngest driver there The crowed roared as they started the race 'Round the track they drove at a deadly pace No one knows what happened that day How his car overturned in flames But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck With his dying breath, they heard him say
Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her Tell Laura not to cry My love for her will never die
And in the chapel where Laura prays For Tommy who passed away It was just for Laura he lived and died Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry
Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her Tell Laura not to cry My love for her will never die Tell Laura I love her...
