Ten Feet Off The Ground
Composer(s): Richard M. Sherman - Robert B. Sherman
Performer(s): Buddy Ebsen, Leslie Ann Warren, Janet Blair
and multiple other artists



Who invented music?
I'd like to shake his hand
'Cause music casts a spell
That I can understand
That must be some magician
Designed a magic plan
He changed his wand to a baton
And that's how it all began

When the rhythm bounds and the harmony sounds
And the melody rolls around
Presto! Change-O!
You're ten feet off the ground
When the rhythm bounds and the harmony sounds
And the melody rolls around
Right then in harmony we can be found
Ten feet off the ground

When everybody puts his heart in it
Everybody plays a part in it
That's how music magic is made
Everybody's toes are tappier
Everybody's feeling happier
Lighter than air
Out of this chair
Ten feet off the ground

Yes, everybody puts his heart in it
Everybody plays a part in it
That's how music magic is made
Everybody's toes are tappier
Everybody's feeling happier
Lighter than air
Out of this chair
Loping along on a magical sound
Out of this world and upward bound
Ten feet of the ground
Oh, Yeah!

My Martian Man
Composer(s): Lynsey de Paul
Originally performed by: Lynsey de Paul
Covered by: Mice; Julianne Regan



As I was lying on my pillow last night
I saw the strangest sight
A green machine with flashing lights
And as I stared and wondered
What it could be for
Hoping to see more
A Martian came right through my door
"Where have I landed?
My ship is stranded"

Martian Man, take my hand
We are a part of whatever the stars planned
Let's stick together, whatever they say

And he explained the Earth was no place
No atmosphere, and I could not live there
We both were made with different spheres
And anyway the green man
Couldn't mix with white
And Mars wasn't right
He disappeared into the night
"Where have I landed?
My ship is stranded"

Martian Man, take my hand
We are a part of whatever the stars planned
Let's stick together, whatever they say

Someday, but look at today (?)
We've only this one
End of the sun
And we'll understand
We will understand, understand

Martian Man, take my hand
We are a part of whatever the planned
Let's stick together, whatever they say

Someday...

Granada (Spanish Version)
Composer(s): Dorothy Dodd; Agustín Lara
Performer(s): Mario Lanza;
and various other artists



Granada, tierra soñada por mi
mi cantar se vuelve gitano cuando es para ti
mi cantar hecho de fantasía
mi cantar flor de melancolía
que yo te vengo a dar

Granada, tierra ensangrentada
en tardes de toros
Mujer que conserva el embrujo
de los ojos moros
Te sueño rebelde y gitana
cubierta de flores
y beso tu boca de grana
jugosa manzana
que me habla de amores

Granada, manola cantada
en coplas preciosas
No tengo otra cosa que darte
que un ramo de rosas
De rosas de suave fragancia
que le dieran marco a la virgen morena
Granada, tu tierra está llena
de lindas mujeres
de sangre y de sol

Ten Feet Away
Composer(s): Billy Sherrill - Max D. Barnes - Troy Seals
Performer(s): Keith Whitley; Diamond Rio



Alone at a corner table
She was watching me watching her
I was singin' about an old flame burning
She was hanging on to every word

I was pouring out my feelings
She was pouring out the wine
Through the smoke and the beer
It was perfectly clear
That we were touching each others minds

It was love ten feet away
Imagine her in my arms, with that look on her face
Lying somewhere in some shadowy place
It was love just ten feet away

I just knew my closing song would do it
I knew that I was heaven bound
I could tell she was moved, but before I was through
This stranger walked up and set down

He was trying his best to impress her
But she never took her eyes off me
When he got up and left, I said to myself...
Woh-o-woh what a night this will be

It was love ten feet away
Imagine her in my arms, with that look on her face
Lying somewhere in some shadowy place
It was love just ten feet away

It was love ten feet away
Imagine her in my arms, with that look on her face
Lying somewhere in some shadowy place
It was love just ten feet away

My Maria
Composer(s): Daniel Moore; B.W. Stevenson
Originally performed by: B.W. Stevenson



My Maria don't you know I've come a long long way 
I been longin' to see her 
When she's around she takes my blues away 
Sweet Maria the sunlight surely hurts my eyes 
I'm a lonely dreamer on a highway in the skies 

Maria Maria I love you 

My Maria there were some blue and sorrowed times 
Just my thoughts about you bring back my peace of mind 
Gypsy lady you're a mircle work for me 
You set my soul free like a ship sailing on the sea
She is the sunlight when skies are grey 
She treats me so right lady take me away 

Maria Maria I love you 
Maria Maria I love you

Granada (English Version)
Composer(s): Dorothy Dodd; Augustín Lara
Performer(s): Frankie Laine;
and various other artists



Granada, I'm falling under your spell
And if you could speak what a fascinating tale you would tell
Of an age the world has long forgotten
Of an age that weaves the silent magic in Granada today

The dawn in the sky greets the day with a sigh for Granada
For she can remember the splendour that once was Granada
It still can be found in the hills all around as I wander along
Entranced by the beauty before me
Entranced by a land full of sunshine and flowers and song
And when day is done and the sun starts to set in Granada
I envy the blush of the snow clad Sierra Nevada
For soon it will welcome the stars
While a thousand guitars play a soft Habanera
Then moonlit Granada will live again
The glory of yesterday romantic and gay

T'en Fais Pas (C'est Le B-a Ba)
Composer(s): P. Breslin - J. Top - S. Perathoner
Performer(s): Nicoletta



Au bord de la route, au bout de ma peine
Résewoir vide mais la lune est pleine
C'est la série noire, le pied au plancher
La nuit va-t-elle porter conseil?

Que des massifs à perte de vue
Ça commence à sentir le quartier de la glu
Pas si facile, le B-a Ba blesse
Attention au changement de vitesse

T'en fais pas 
Ça, c'est le B-a Ba
T'en fais pas 
Il y a des hauts et des bas

Parfois c'est là
Et puis ça s'en va
C'est le B-a Ba
Mais ça reviendra

Tu lances les dés, tu joues à pile ou face
Tu bois la tasse mais, quoique tu fasses
T'en fais pas, t'en fais pas

J'ai vu des soirées à quatre étoiles
On parle pognon et on lit Stendahl
Comme l'a dit Shakespeare, le monde est une scène
Et on est jamais mieux servi que par soi-même

T'en fais pas 
Ca, c'est le B-a Ba
T'en fais pas 
Il y a des hauts et des bas

Parfois c'est là
Et puis ça s'en va
C'est le B-a Ba
Mais ça reviendra

Tu lances les dés, tu joues à pile ou face
Tu bois la tasse mais, quoique tu fasses
T'en fais pas, t'en fais pas...

My Margarita (El Charro)
Composer(s): Maria Grever; Walter Hirsh



My Margarita, I'm so romantic, but Margarita
You drive me frantic
My Margarita
You could be tender, but Senorita
You won't surrender
On my guitar oh so lightly
I play nightly when the moon begins to shine
Though ev'ry star up above you knows I love you
I can never make you mine
Oh Margarita
When stars are fading, beneath your window
I'm serenading
My Margarita life could be sweeter
If I could read in your glances where romance is
When it dances
But whenever we're together
You're as fickle as the weather when you kiss and run away

Graine D'Ananar
Composer(s): Léo Ferré
Performer(s): Léo Ferré; Catherine Sauvage



La vie m'a doublé
C'est pas régulier
Pour un pauv' lézard
Qui vit par hasard
Dans la société
Mais la société
Faut pas s'en mêler
J'suis un type à part
Un' grain' d'ananar

On m'dit qu'j'ai poussé
En d'ssous d'un gibet
Où mon grand-papa
Balançait déjà
Avec un collier
Un collier tressé
De chanvre il était
Un foutu foulard
A gueul' d'ananar

J'avais des copains
Qui mangeaient mon pain
Car le pain c'est fait
Pour êtr' partagé
Dans notr' société
C'est pas moi qui l'dis
Mais c'est Jésus-Christ
Un foutu bavard
A gueul' d'ananar

Si j'avais des sous
On m'd'manderait: ""Où
Les as-tu gagnés
Sans avoir trimé
Pour la société?"
Mais comm' j'en ai pas
Faut lui dir' pourquoi
C'est jamais peinard
La grain' d'ananar

On m'dit qu'c'est fini
J'vous l'dit comme on l'dit
Et qu'on me pendra
Au nom de la loi
Et d'la société
D'la bell' société
Qui s'met à s'mêler
De mettre au rancart
La grain' d'ananar

Potence d'oubli
L'oiseau fait son nid
Messieurs les corbeaux
Passeront ma peau
Comme à l'étamis
Mais auparavant
J'aurai comm' le vent
Semé quelque part
Ma grain' d'ananar

Ten Cents A Dance
Composer(s): Lorenz Hart - Richard Rodgers
First performance: Ruth Etting - 1930
Covered by multiple other artists



Ten cents a dance, that's what they pay me
Gosh, how they weigh me down
Ten cents a dance, pansies and rough guys
Tough guys who tear my gown

Seven to midnight I hear drums
Loudly the saxophone blows
Trumpets are tearing my eardrums
Customers crush my toes

Sometimes I think I've found my hero
But it's a queer romance
All that you need is a ticket
Come on, big boy, ten cents a dance! 

My Man Jumped Salty On Me 
Composer(s): Perry Bradford
Performer(s): Rosetta Crawford;
Mezz Mezzrow; George Wettling



Goin' down to the river, take a rope and a rock
Tie it round my neck and jump off the dock
'Cause my man he jumped salty on me

Ain't no one can change my mind
I've been mistreated and I don't mind dyin'
'Cause that man jumped salty on me

Gonna get me some poison, kill myself
'Cause the man I love has put me on the shelf
The dirty old viper jumped salty on me
If he didn't want me he didn't have to lie
The day I see him, that's the day he'll die
'Cause that man jumped salty on me

Baby you don't know my mind
Lord, Lord, Lord, Baby you don't know my mind
When you see me laughin', I'm laughin' just to keep from cryin'

A crooked man's worse than crooked dice
With dice you lose your money, with men you lose your life
Oh that fool jumped salty on me
I'm gonna get me a razor and a gun
Cut him if he stands still, shoot him if he runs
'Cause that man jumped salty on me

Graduation's Here

Barbara Ellis; Gary Troxel
Performer(s): The Fleetwoods



Bah-oodo-doo-dahm, doo-dahm, doo-dahm
Doo doddy doddy dahm

Graduation, graduation, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, graduation

High school parties are over
Things won't be the same
The day to grow up finally came
Graduation's here
Graduation

Our trips to the ocean
Were so much fun
Remember the games we almost won
Graduation's here

Chorus
Our senior year and our one big sin
Was the "senior skip" when we were all turned in
The gaudy mischief had to come but now it's gotta go
'cause graduation's here and we'll soon be on our own

Bah-oodo-doo-dahm, doo-dahm, doo-dahm
Doo doddy doddy dahm
Graduation, graduation, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, graduation

Now we are walking down the aisle
I cry inside but I'm trying to smile
Goodbye friends, alma mater too
Graduation's here

Graduation, graduation, graduation, graduation

Tempus Fugit
Composer(s): Geoffrey Downes - Trevor Horn - Steve Howe - Chris Squire - Alan White
Performer(s): Yes



Born in the night
She would run like a leopard
That freaks at the sight
Of a mind close beside herself
And the nearer I came
How the country would change
She was using the landscape
To hide herself

More in the mind
Than the body this feeling
A sense at the end
Of a circular line
That is drawn at an angle
I see when I'm with you
To navigate waters and finally answer to-yes

If you were there you would want to be near me
Innocence, you could hold the materials
And though nothing would really be living
It would shock Your fall into landing light
In the north sky time flies fast to the morning
The cold of the dawn it meant nothing to us
You were keeping your best situation
An answer to-yes

(Yes, Yes) And the moment I see you
(Yes, Yes) It's so good to be near you
(Yes, Yes) And the feeling you give me
(Yes, Yes) Makes me want to be with you
(Yes, Yes) From the moment you tell me - yes

If you could see all the roads I have traveled
Towards some unusable last equilibrium
Run like an athlete and die like a dead beaten speed-freak
An answer to all of your answers to-yes

In the north sky time flies faster than morning
The cold of the dawn it meant nothing to us
You were keeping your best situation
An answer to Yes

(Yes, Yes) And the moment I see you
(Yes, Yes) It's so good to be near you
(Yes, Yes) And the feeling you give me
(Yes, Yes) Makes me want to be with you
(Yes, Yes) If we wait for an answer
(Yes, Yes) Will the silence be broken
(Yes, Yes) Should we wait for an answer
(Yes, Yes) Do we leave it unspoken

(Yes Yes Yes Yes...)

My man and me 
we're close as anyone could ever be

It's a time a for joy, a time for tears
A time we'll treasure through the years
We'll remember always
Graduation day

At the senior prom we danced 'til three
And there you gave your heart to me
We'll remember always
Graduation day

Though we leave in sorrow
All the joys we've known
We can face tomorrow
Knowing we'll never walk alone

When the ivy walls are far behind
No matter where our paths may wind
We'll remember always
Graduation day

Though we leave in sorrow
All the joys we've known
We can face tomorrow
Knowing we'll never walk alone

When the ivy walls are far behind
No matter where our paths may wind
We'll remember always, always
Graduation day

We'll remember always
Graduation day

Tempted
Composer(s): Chris Difford - Glenn Tilbrook
First release by: Squeeze - 1981 
Covered by multiple other artists



I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face
Pajamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case
I said to my reflection, Let's get out of this place
Passed the church and the steeple, the laundry on the hill
Billboards and the buildings
Memories of it still keep calling
And calling
But forget it all I know I will
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

I'm at the carpark, the airport, the baggage carousel
The people keep on grabbing, ain't wishing I was well
I said, "It's no occasion 
It's no story I can tell"
At my bedside, empty pocket, a foot without a sock
Your body gets much closer
I fumble for the clock, alarmed by
The seduction
I wish that it would stop
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

What's been going on
Now that you have gone there's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

I bought a novell, some perfume, a fortune all for you
But it's not my conscience that hates to be untrue
I asked of my reflection
Tell me what is there to do?
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

What's been going on
Now that you have gone there's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

My Man
((Adapted from: Mon Homme (Mistinguett) - 1916))
Composer(s): Albert Willemetz - Jacques Charles - Maurice Yvain - Channing Pollack
Performer(s): Fanny Brice - 1921
and multiple other artists



It's cost me a lot
But there's one thing that I've got
It's my man
Cold and wet, tired you bet
But all that I soon forget
With my man
He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books
Is my man
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him
I don't know why I should
He isn't good
He isn't true
He beats me, too
What can I do
Oh, my man, I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, all right
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back
On my knees some day
For whatever my man is
I am his forever more
Sometimes I say
If I just could get away
With my man
He'd go straight, sure as fate
For it never is too late
For a man
I just like to dream
Of a cottage by a stream
With my man
Where a few flowers grew
And perhaps a kid or two
Who liked my man
And then my eyes get wet
I 'most forget
Till he gets hot
And tells me not
To talk such rot
Oh my man, I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, all right
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back
On my knees some day
For whatever my man is
I'm his forever more

Gradated Grey

Haruomi Hosono



My car radio's playing a song
That makes me feel very strange
It's taken so long
Through the gradation of the grey scale
A landscape like I've never seen
As far as my eyes can see
Out on the road
I've seen so many shades, shades of grey
Now I'm back in the tunnel again
Every minute, every second
I can feel it getting closer
Speeding ahead
To where grey meets white

She's got something that moves my soul
And she knows I'd love to love her
But she lets me down every time, can't make her mind
She's no one's lover
Tonight with me she'll be so inviting
I want her all for myself, aw

Temptation eyes, looking through my mind, my soul
Temptation eyes, you've got to love me, got to love me tonight
Got to love me baby yeah, mm

Oh wild-eyed innocence is just a game
But just the same my head is spinning
She's got a way to keep me on her side, it's just a ride
It's never ending
Tonight with me she'll be so exciting
I want her all for myself, oh

Temptation eyes, looking through my mind, my soul
Temptation eyes, you've got to love me, got to love me tonight
Can you feel it now

Tonight with me she'll be so exciting, I want her all for myself, oh
Temptation eyes, looking through my mind, my soul
Temptation eyes, you've got to love me, got to love me tonight
Temptation eyes, looking through my mind, my soul
Temptation eyes, come on and love me, love me tonight

Everything is lovely 
When you start to roam
The birds are singin', the day that you stray
But later, when you are further away
Things won't seem so lovely 
When you're all alone
Here's what you'll keep saying 
When you're far from home

Mammy
Mammy 
The sun shines east, the sun shines west
I know where the sun shines best
Mammy
My little mammy
My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy
I'm comin'
Sorry that I made you wait
I'm comin'
Hope and trust that I'm not late, oh oh oh 
Mammy
My little Mammy
I'd walk a million miles 
For one of your smiles
My Mammy! 
Oh oh oh... 

Mammy... 
My little Mammy
The sun shines east, the sun shines west
I know where
the sun shines best! 
It's on my Mammy I'm talkin' about, nobody else's! 

My little Mammy
My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy

Mammy, Mammy, I'm comin'
I'm so sorry that I made you wait! 
Mammy, Mammy, I'm comin'! 
Oh God, I hope I'm not late! 
Look at me, Mammy! 
Don't you know me? 
I'm your little baby! 

I'd walk a million miles 
For one of your smiles
My Mammy!
