    Ten Little Friends
    Composer(s): John Entwistle
    Performer(s): John Entwistle



    I don't need no conversation
    I got everything I need
    I'm happy sitting up here
    With my ten little friends
    Mr. Bones, and me

    I ain't going to the party
    I don't want no cakes n' tea
    I'm happy sitting up here
    With my ten little friends
    Mr. Bones, and me

    I keep myself to myself
    And I disconnect the phones
    My ten little friends are playing piano
    Mr. Bones is on trombone

    I don't need no conversation
    I got everything I need
    I'm happy sitting up here
    With my ten little friends
    Mr. Bones, and me

    I don't need no television
    Ain't got time to watch TV
    I'm too busy sitting here playing
    With my ten little friends
    Mr. Bones, and me

    I keep myself to myself
    And I disconnect the phones
    My ten little friends are playing guitar and on bass is Mr. Bones

    Composer(s): Doug Ingle
    Performer(s): Iron Butterfly



    In my mind I see a mirage on the wall
    But unfortunately it's not there at all
    So I guess I'll draw my mirage on the wall
    Then it can be here to see and enjoyed by all

    My mirage, I'll be drawing you soon
    Then all of the beautiful people that come to our home
    They'll be seeing you too
    My mirage
    I'll be drawing you soon
    My mirage, I'll be seeing you soon

    In my mind I see a mirage on the wall

    Grand Père Yitzhak
    Performer(s): Yves Duteil



    Il a chanté ses chansons
    Veillé sur elle au salon
    Il écoutait ses poèmes
    Expliquait bien les problèmes

    Ensemble autour de la rade
    Ils s'en allaient en balade
    Si ses parents la grondaient quelquefois
    Elle se cachait dans ses bras

    Il avait fait la guerre, autrefois
    Mais n'en parlait presque pas
    Elle pense à lui chaque jour
    Mais n'attend plus son retour

    Quand il partait en voyage
    Il écrivait quelques pages
    Parfois si tendre et secret
    C'était ainsi qu'elle l'aimait

    Elle était grande et pourtant
    On autait dit une enfant
    Une petite fille qui pleurait son grand-père
    Devant les grands de la terre

    Entre les larmes, elle disait
    Que jamais nos regrets
    Ne lui ramèneraient
    Malgré les Princes et les Rois
    Tout son bonheur d'autrefois

    Elle dessinait sa maison
    Avec au loin l'horizon
    Il ajoutait dans le ciel
    Une colombe, un soleil

    C'était pour elle qu'il voulait
    Tendre la main vers la paix
    Et regarder les enfants désunis
    Sortir enfin de la nuit

    Il était grave et sérieux parfois
    Et elle ne comprenait pas
    Elle pense à lui chaque jour
    Mais n'attend plus son retour

    Entre les larmes, elle savait
    Qu'aucun hymne à la paix
    Ne lui ramènerait
    Malgré l'espoir et la foi
    Tout ce bonheur d'autrefois

    Mmm...

    Elle était grande et pourtant
    On aurait dit une enfant
    Une petite fille qui pleurait son grand-père
    Parmi les grands de la terre

    Ten Little Fingers And Ten Little Toes (Down In Tennessee)
    Composer(s): Harry Pease - Johnny White - Ira Schuster - Ed. G. Nelson



    I met a pal from Tennessee, and with a smile he greeted me
    for he was feeling happy, mighty snappy, jumping up and down with glee
    he got good news from home today, and that's the reason he felt gay
    I thought it was simply great, just had to congratulate, when I heard him say

    He said "I'm leaving town today, I hope and pray there's no delay
    I'm going to get my ticket, double quick it, not a thing could make me stay
    I long to see my little prize, and look in those baby eyes
    just try to imagine me, back home in Tennessee, oh, what paradise

    "I've got ten little fingers, and ten little toes
    down in Tennessee, waiting there for me, I never had a baby call me "Da-da"
    how proud I know I'll be, when I hear it calling me
    Oh gee! I'll kiss every finger, I'll kiss every toe
    at home sweet home I'll linger for they'll need me there I know
    although it only weighs ten pounds and just one day old
    I wouldn't give it up for all the world and it's gold
    for I've got ten little fingers, and ten little toes, waiting down in Tennessee for me

    "I've got ten little fingers, and ten little toes
    down in Tennessee, waiting there for me
    Oh, how I'll hold it, in my arms enfold it
    when night time shadows creep, I will lull it fast asleep
    and then I'll count every finger, I'll count every toe
    close to his side I'll linger for he'll want me there I know
    if he looks like his mother what a child he must be
    but if he looks like me then he's got my sympathy
    for I've got ten little fingers and ten little toes, waiting down in Tennessee for me

    (Originally performed by: The Small Faces)



    Noi, quattro lire e noi
    quattro amici e poi
    che ci importerà
    del mondo che non sa
    guardare in faccia mai la realtà

    Noi, il nostro amore e noi
    questo amore che
    vive accanto a noi
    la gente non lo sa
    che la felicità è tutta qua

    Se importante sarei, che farai
    se poi nessuno c’è, vicino a te
    noi, con quattro lire noi
    ricchi più che mai
    e che ci importerà
    del mondo che non sa
    guardare in faccia mai la realtà

    Grand Ole Opry Song
    Composer(s): Hylo Brown
    Performer(s): Jimmy Martin;
    The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band



    Come and listen to my story if you will I’m gonna tell
    About a gang of fellers from down at Nashville
    First I’ll start with old Red Foley doin’ the chattanooga shoe
    We can’t forget Hank Williams with them good old lovesick blues

    It’s time for Roy Acuff to go to Memphis on his train
    With Minnie Pearl and Rod Brasfield and lazy Jim Day
    Turn on all your radios I know that you will wait
    Hear little Jimmy Dickens sing take an old cold tater and wait

    There’ll be guitars and fiddles, Earl Scruggs and his banjo too
    Bill Monroe singing ’em the honky tonky blues
    Ernest Tubb’s number two wrongs won’t make a right
    At the Grand Ole Opry ev’ry saturday night

    There was uncle Dave Macon his gold tooth and plug-hat
    Cowboy Copas singing tragic romance
    Signed sealed and delivered with Sam and Kirk Mcgee
    And the master of ceremony was Mr. George D. Hays

    There was Lonzo and Oscar a-poppin’ bubble gum
    George Morgan singin’ candy kisses yum yum
    Got a hole in my bucket bringin’ in that Georgia mill
    We’ll sing the sunny side of the mountain and dance to the chicken reel

    There’ll be guitars and fiddles and banjo pickin’ too
    Bill Monroe singin’ ’em the honky tonky blues
    Ernest Tubb’s number too wrongs won’t make a right
    At the Grand Ole Opry ev’ry saturday night

    You can talk about your singers in all kinds of way
    But none could sing the old songs like Bradley Kincaid
    With his old hound dog guitar and the famous blue tail fly
    Stringbean with Hank Snow and old fiddlin’ Chubby wise

    There’ll be guitars and fiddles, Earl Scruggs and his banjo too
    Bill Monroe singin’ ’em the honky tonky blues
    Ernest Tubb’s number two wrongs don’t make a right
    At the Grand Ole Opry ev’ry saturday night

    Ten Little Bottles
    Composer(s): Johnny Bond
    Performer(s): Johnny Bond



    A friend of mine gave me ten little bottles
    Of some special stuff that he brewed up his-self
    So I took it and hid it down in my basement
    But my wife found out about it and she told me to get rid of it or else
    And since I didn't like the way she said or else
    I went down there and proceeded to carry out her instructions

    I sat the ten little bottles on the drainboard
    Picked up the first bottle, pulled the cork out of it
    And poored it down the sink
    That is, um, all except one little swallow - which I drank

    I picked up the next bottle and I pulled the cork out of it
    And poured it down the sink
    All except one little swallow - which I drank

    I picked up the next bottle and I pulled the sink out of it
    And I poured it down the cork
    All except one little swallow - which I drank

    I picked up the next cork and I pulled the bottle out of it
    And I poured it down the sink
    All except one little drink - which I drank

    I picked up the next sink and I pulled the cork out of it
    And I poured it down the bottle
    All except one little swallow - which I sank

    I picked up the next drink and I pulled the swallow out of it
    And I poured it down the sink
    All except one little drink - I think

    Well anyway by this time it's plain to see
    That them little bottles of mine, let's see now
    How many bottles have I got left - which I drank

    Now I'm askin' you wasn't that a awful thing for my wife to make me do
    Bless her little heart, bl-less her little heart, I'm tellin' ya one thing
    You better not say nothin' against my wife buster
    'Cause I'll have you know, I'll - have - you - know
    That I've got da wifest little nice you ever saw in your [hicc]
    Which I drank

    Originally performed by: The Small Faces
    Covered by various other artists



    I sit here every day
    lookin' at the sky
    ever wondrin' why
    I dream my dreams away
    And I'm livin' for today
    In my mind's eye

    Things are clearer than before
    Showing my the way
    Asking me to stay
    I'll never close the door
    to all these things and more
    in my mind's eye

    Everybody I know says I've changed
    Laughin' behind their hands I think their strange

    People runnin' everywhere
    Runnin' through my life
    I couldn't give a damn
    `cause they'll never see
    all that I can see
    With my mind's eye

    Na na na na na na
    Na na na na na
    Na na na na na
    Na na na na na

    Na na na na na na

    Composer(s): Jacques Brel
    Performer(s): Jacques Brel



    C'est trop facile d'entrer aux églises
    De déverser toutes ses saletés
    Face au curé qui dans la lumière grise
    Ferme les yeux pour mieux nous pardonner

    Tais-toi donc Grand Jacques
    Que connais-tu du Bon Dieu
    Un cantique une image
    Tu n'en connais rien de mieux

    C'est trop facile quand les guerres sont finies
    D'aller gueuler que c'était la dernière
    Ami bourgeois vous me faites envie
    Vous ne voyez donc point vos cimetières

    Tais-toi donc Grand Jacques
    Et laisse-les donc crier
    Laisse-les pleurer de joie
    Toi qui ne fus même pas soldat

    C'est trop facile quand un amour se meurt
    Qu'il craque en deux parce qu'on l'a trop plié
    D'aller pleurer comme les hommes pleurent
    Comme si l'amour durait l'éternité

    Tais-toi donc Grand Jacques
    Que connais-tu de l'amour
    Des yeux bleus des cheveux fous
    Tu n'en connais rien du tout

    Et dis-toi donc Grand Jacques
    Et dis-toi donc Grand Jacques
    Dis-le-toi bien souvent
    C'est trop facile
    De faire semblant
    De faire semblant

    and multiple other artists



    I have a band of men and all they do is play for me
    They come from miles around to hear them play a melody
    Beneath the stars my ten guitars will play a song for you
    And if you're with the one you love this is what you do

    Oh, dance, dance, dance to my ten guitars
    And very soon you know just where you are
    Through the eyes of love you see a thousand stars
    When you dance, dance, dance, to my ten guitars

    Guitars are made for love my band of men will always say
    So give each one a pretty girl and they will start to play
    Beneath the stars my ten guitars will play a song for you
    And if you're with the one you love this is what to do

    Oh, dance, dance, dance to my ten guitars
    And very soon you know just where you are
    Through the eyes of love you see a thousand stars
    When you dance, dance, dance, to my ten guitars

    Ooh, let me tell you now

    I'm lookin' for a place to go
    So I can be all alone
    From thoughts and memories
    So that when the music plays
    I don't go back to the days
    When love was you and me

    "Oh, oh, moja droga, ja Cie kocham"
    Means that I love you so
    "Moja droga, ja Cie kocham"
    More than you'll ever know
    "Kocham ciebie calym sercem"
    Love you with all my heart
    Return to me and always be
    My melody of love

    Wish I had a place to hide
    Al my sorrow, all my pride
    I just can't get along
    'Cause the love once so fine
    Keeps on hurtin' all the time
    Where did I go wrong?

    "Oh, oh, moja droga ja Cie kocham"
    Means that I love you so
    "Moja droga, ja Cie kocham"
    More than you'll ever know
    "Kocham ciebie calym sercem"
    Love you with all my heart
    Return to me and always be

    Woh-oh, la-la, la-la-la, la, la-la

    Tonight we sleep on silken sheets
    We drink fine wine and eat rare meats
    On Carousel and gambling stake
    Our fortunes speed, and dissipate
    It's candlelight and chandelier
    It's silver plate and crystal clear
    The nights we stay at Hotel Grand

    Tonight we dine at Hotel Ritz
    (A golden dish with every wish)
    It's mirrored walls, and velvet drapes
    Dry champagne, and bursting grapes
    Dover sole, and Oeufs Mornay
    Profiteroles and Peach Flambe
    The waiters dance on fingertips
    The nights we dine at Hotel Ritz

    One more toast to greet the morn
    The wine and dine have danced till dawn
    Where's my Continental Bride?
    We'll Continental slip and slide
    Early morning pinch and bite
    (These French girls always like to fight)
    It's serenade and Sarabande
    The nights we stay at Hotel Grand
    Les nuits qu'on passe à l'Hotel Grande

    Ten Guitars
    Performer(s): Billy Connolly



    I like to sing James Taylor songs, and songs by Carol King
    I'll even sing John Murphy songs, I'll sing anything
    But when I sing in social clubs, just one thing sickens me
    a wee drunk woman staggers up, and this is what she says to me
    Hey Jimmy, gonna gi' us Ten Guitars?
    Her face has got a dozen battle scars
    Oh, I must have sang that song in a thousand bars
    Oh I'm really getting sick of Ten Guitars

    Guitars were made for Rock and Roll, and no' this kind of trash
    Gimme a song wi' Stephen Stills, or even Johnny Cash
    But just when I start out to sing, some nice wee melody
    the same wee woman donners up, and this is what she says to me

    Hey Jimmy, oh c'mon, gi' us Ten Guitars
    Her face has got a thousand battle scars
    Oh, I must have sang that song in a thousand bars
    Oh I'm really getting sick of Ten Guitars

    Oh, if I could get my hands on that big balm-pot Humperdink
    I'd rip his tonsils out his throat, and stuff them down the sink
    Oh, I wish he'd never sang that song, or maybe something else
    instead,
    I'd love to take his ten Guitars, and wrap them around his head

    Hey Jimmy, oh c'mon, gi' us Ten Guitars
    Her face has got a million battle scars
    Oh, I must have sang that song in a thousand bars
    Oh I'm really getting sick of Ten Guitars

    I'd love to break the strings on his Ten Guitars

    Grand Coulee Dam
    Composer(s): Woody Guthrie
    Performer(s): Woody Guthrie;
    and various other artists



    Now the world holds seven wonders
    That the travellers always tell
    Some gardens and some towers,
    I guess you know them well
    But now the greatest wonder
    Is in Uncle Sam's fair land
    It's the big Columbia River
    And the big Grand Coulee Dam

    She heads up the Canadian Rockies
    Where the rippling waters glide
    Comes a-roaring down the canyon
    For to meet that salty tide
    Of the big Pacific Ocean
    Where the sun sinks in the west
    In the big Grand Coulee country
    In the land I love the best

    In the misty crystal glitter
    Of the wild and windward spray
    Men have fought the pounding waters
    And met a watery grave
    Why, she tore their boats to splinters
    But she gave men dreams to dream
    Of the day the Coulee Dam
    Would cross that wild and wasted stream

    Now Uncle Sam took up the challenge
    In the year of thirty three
    For the farmer and the factory
    And all of you and me
    He said, "Roll along Columbia
    You can roll down to the sea
    But river, while you're rambling
    You can do some work for me"

    In the misty crystal glitter
    Of the wild and windward spray
    Men have fought the pounding waters
    And met a watery grave
    Why, she tore their boats to splinters
    But she gave men dreams to dream
    Of the day the Coulee Dam
    Would cross that wild and wasted stream

    Now from Washington and Oregon
    You can hear the factories hum
    Making chrome and making manganese
    And white aluminum
    Now the roar of the Flying Fortress
    For to fight for Uncle Sam
    On the howling King Columbia
    By the big Grand Coulee Dam

    In the misty crystal glitter
    Of the wild and windward spray
    Men have fought the pounding waters
    And met a watery grave
    Why, she tore their boats to splinters
    But she gave men dreams to dream
    Of the day the Coulee Dam
    Would cross that wild and wasted stream

    Now the world holds seven wonders
    That the travellers always tell
    Some gardens and some towers,
    Why, I guess you know them well
    But now the greatest wonder
    Is in Uncle Sam's fair land
    It's the big Columbia River
    And the big Grand Coulee Dam

    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
