    Ten Years Gone
    Composer(s): Robert Plant - Jimmy Page
    First release by: Led Zeppelin - 1975
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Then as it was, then again it will be
    And though the course may change sometimes
    Rivers always reach the sea
    Blind stars of fortune, each have several rays
    On the wings of maybe, down in birds of prey
    Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didn't have to grow
    But as the eagle leaves the nest, it's got so far to go
    Changes fill my time, baby, that's alright with me
    In the midst I think of you, and how it used to be
    Did you ever really need somebody, and really need 'em bad?
    Did you ever really want somebody, the best love you ever had?
    Do you ever remember me, baby, did it feel so good?
    'Cause it was just the first time, and you knew you would
    Through the eyes an' I sparkle, senses growing keen
    Taste your love along the way, see your feathers preen
    Kind of makes makes me feel sometimes, didn't have to grow
    We are eagles of one nest, the nest is in our soul
    Vixen in my dreams, with great surprise to me
    Never thought I'd see your face the way it used to be
    Oh darlin', oh darlin'
    I'm never gonna leave you, I'm never gonna leave
    Holdin' on, ten years gone
    Ten years gone, holdin' on, ten years gone

    My Name Is Tallulah
    Composer(s): Paul Williams
    Performer(s): Bugsy Malone



    My name is Tallulah
    My first rule of thumb
    I don't say where I'm going
    Or where I'm coming from
    I try to leave a little reputation behind me
    So if you really need to
    You'll know how to find me

    My name is Tallulah
    I live till I die
    I'll take what you give me
    And I won't ask why
    I've a lot of friends
    In some exotic places
    I don't remember names
    But I remember faces

    Lonely
    You don't have to be lonely
    Come and see Tallulah
    We can chase your troubles away
    If you're lonely
    You don't have to be lonely
    When they talk about Tallulah
    You know what they say
    No one south of Heaven's
    Gonna treat you finer

    Tallulah had her training
    In North Carolina

    My name is Tallulah
    And soon I'll be gone
    An open invitation
    Is the road I'll travel on
    I'll never say goodbye
    Because the words upset me
    You may forgive my going
    But you won't forget me

    Lonely
    You don't have to be lonely
    Come and see Tallulah
    We can chase your troubles away
    If you're lonely
    You don't have to be lonely
    When they talk about Tallulah
    You know what they say
    No one south of Heaven's
    Gonna treat you finer

    Tallulah had her training
    In North Carolina

    Ten Thousand, Four Hundred And Thirty Two Sheep
    Composer(s): Julie Stein - Sammy Kahn
    Performer(s): Doris Day



    I didn’t sleep again last night
    And I’d like to discuss the matter
    The nerves to which I’m strung are tight
    And I’m as beat as a bowl of batter

    If old man Rip Van Winkle
    Thought his long sleep was a curse
    I know how the old man felt
    Because I’ve got his problem in reverse

    Ten thousand, four hundred and thirty two sheep
    How long can I toss like this?
    Ten thousand, four hundred and thirty three sheep
    What did you put in that kiss?
    I’ve tried all the remedies
    The well-known good advice
    Took a hot tub and an alcohol rub
    Did the alphabet backwards twice

    Ten thousand, four hundred and thirty four sheep
    We’d better get married soon
    Ten thousand, four hundred and thirty five sheep
    I’ll never hold out till June
    How much do I love you?
    Just in case you didn’t know
    You get a mental kiss
    With every sheep I count
    And I still got a million sheep to go

    (Did you ever try seeing see a doctor?)
    A doctor?

    I went to see a noted doctor
    Who’s a famous analyst
    Then he led me to the couch
    And he gently took my wrist
    I paid him fifty dollars
    (Well, that sounds pretty cheap)
    Cheap! I should have paid him nothing!
    ‘Cause I still can’t sleep

    (Ten thousand, four hundred) and thirty six sheep
    (And one sheep that got away)
    He took another lamb!
    (Ten thousand, four hundred) and thirty eight sheep
    (Won’t night ever turn to day?)
    Oh what a fool I am
    How much do I love you?
    Just in case you didn’t know
    You get a mental kiss with every sheep I count
    (Add them all together
    That’s a large amount)

    I’ve counted a trillion sheep
    (How many?)
    I’ve counted a billion sheep
    (How many?)
    Well at least a million sheep, I know
    (How the numbers grow)
    And I got about million more to go

    (Ten thousand, nine thousand, eight thousand
    Seven thousand, six thousand, five thousand)...

    Do do do ...

    Hey little girl won't you meet me at the schoolyard gate
    I got back stage passes to the biggest show in town
    So honey don't you make me late
    If we leave really early and we hurry we can get in with the band
    'Cause little Tim Smitty's got his old man's van
    So let's get to gettin' while the gettin' is right
    And roll with the rythm tonight

    God knows that I love my music
    Ain't no one gonna change my tune
    Don't ya know that I love my music
    Ain't never gonna change my tune

    Hey little girl want to dance with you all night long
    The music got me buzzin' and I feel pretty loose
    I feel the rythm and it's comin' on strong baby baby
    Lay the rythm on me baby, there's power in the sound
    With everybody jumpin' we can bring the house down
    So let's get to gettin' while the gettin' is right
    And roll with the rythm tonight

    God knows that I love my music
    Ain't no one gonna change my tune
    Don't ya know that I love my music
    Ain't never gonna change my tune

    God knows that I love my music
    Ain't no one gonna change my tune
    Don't ya know that I love my music
    Ain't never gonna change my

    Do do do ...

    Love my music
    Ain't no one gonna change my tune
    Don't ya know that I love my music

    Composer(s): Dominic Bugatti; Frank Musker
    Performer(s): Paul Nicholas



    I brushed my bowler and I grabbed my cane
    Eleven thirty I was on my way
    The stars are shining bright
    And I'm feeling just right
    For Grandma's party tonight

    Across the city and I reach the spot
    The snow was falling in the parking lot
    Looks like the whole world's here
    For the night of the year
    It's Grandma's party tonight
    I tell you everybody's going to the party

    Everybody's going to the party
    Everybody's going to the party
    It's Grandma's party tonight

    The bells are ringing and the Captain's here
    Mister Sax is swinging from the chandelier
    It's almost twelve o'clock
    and we're ready to rock
    At Grandma's party tonight
    I tell you everybody's going to the party

    Everybody's going to the party
    Everybody's going to the party
    It's Grandma's party tonight
    Grandma's party
    it's Grandma's party

    It's Grandma's party tonight

    Ten Pins In The Sky
    Composer(s): Joseph McCarthy - Milton Ager
    Performer(s): Judy Garland



    Did you ever wonder why in thunder
    Thunder comes in spring
    Once upon a time it seems
    All the world was wrapped in dreams
    Playful little fellas, so they tell us
    Said let's have our fling
    Spring is in the air you know
    It's time to wake `em up below, so

    When the thunder starts to thunder
    Don't run home and cry
    They're playing ten pins in the sky

    Little fellas way up yonder
    Make the rain drops smile
    While rolling bowling ten pins in the sky

    The world will wear a new bonnet
    Daffodils on it
    Thanks to the skies above
    Thunder and showers
    Wake up the flowers
    Where there are flowers there must be love

    So laugh at raindrops
    Laugh at thunder
    Clouds will soon roll by
    They're playing ten pins in the sky

    The world will wear a new bonnet
    Daffodils on it
    Thanks to the skies above
    Thunder and showers
    Wake up the flowers
    Where there are flowers there must be love

    So laugh at raindrops
    Laugh at thunder
    Clouds will soon roll by
    They're playing ten pins in the sky

    My Mother's Wedding Day
    Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
    Performer(s): Pamela Britton
    and various other artists



    Meg:
    Now if ye think this weddin' day went jus' a wee amiss
    Then I will tell ye 'bout a weddin' far more daft than this
    The lad involved turned out to be no other but my pa
    An' by the strangest bit o' luck, the woman was my ma
    MacGregor, MacKenna, MacGowan, MacGraw, MacVitie, MacNeil an' MacRae
    Ay, all the folk in the village were there at my mother's weddin' day
    For pa had asked his friend MacPhee, an' Mac had come with May MacGee
    An' May invited ninety-three to my mother's weddin' day
    Then up the road came Ed macKeen with half the town of Aberdeen

    Ay, ev'ryone was on the scene at her mother's weddin' day

    Meg:
    At quarter to five everybody was there a-waitin' around in the room
    MacVicker, MacDougall, MacDuff an' MacCoy--everybody but the groom
    An' as the hours turtled by, the men got feelin' kind o' dry
    An' thought they'd take a nip of rye while a-waitin' for the groom
    An' while the men were dippin' in, the ladies started on the gin

    An' soon the room began to spin at her mother's weddin' day

    Meg:
    Then all of a sudden the liquor was gone, the gin an' the whiskey an' all
    An' all of a sudden the weddin' affair had become a bonnie brawl
    For Pete MacGraw and Joe MacPhee began to fight for May MacGee
    While May MacGee an' Sam MacKee were a-wooin' in the hall
    So cold an' stiff was John MacVay, they used him for a servin' tray

    For ev'ryone was blithe and gay at her mother's weddin' day

    Meg:
    MacDuff an' MacVitie were playin' a game, an' usin' MacCoy for the ball
    MacKenna was eatin' the bridal bouquet, an' MacNeil hung on the wall
    When finally my father came, his eyes were red, his nose aflame
    He dinna even know his name; he was drunkest of them all
    The people were lyin' all over the room a'lookin' as if they were dead
    Then mother uncovered the minister quick, an' she told 'im: Go ahead
    Then pa kneeled down on Bill MacRae, an' mother kneeled on Jock MacKay
    The preacher stood on John MacVay, and that's how my ma was wed
    It was a sight beyond compare. I ought to know, for I was there

    There never was a day as rare as her mother's weddin' day!

    and various other artists



    Grandma's hands
    Clapped in church on Sunday morning
    Grandma's hands
    Played a tambourine so well
    Grandma's hands
    Used to issue out a warning
    She'd say, "Billy don't you run so fast
    Might fall on a piece of glass
    "Might be snakes there in that grass"
    Grandma's hands

    Grandma's hands
    Soothed a local unwed mother
    Grandma's hands
    Used to ache sometimes and swell
    Grandma's hands
    Used to lift her face and tell her,
    "Baby, Grandma understands
    That you really love that man
    Put yourself in Jesus hands"
    Grandma's hands

    Grandma's hands
    Used to hand me piece of candy
    Grandma's hands
    Picked me up each time I fell
    Grandma's hands
    Boy, they really came in handy
    She'd say, "Matty don' you whip that boy
    What you want to spank him for?
    He didn' drop no apple core"
    But I don't have Grandma anymore

    If I get to Heaven I'll look for
    Grandma's hands

    Ten Percent
    Composer(s): John Kander - Fred Ebb
    Performer(s): Harry Groener; Lee Konitz



    Did you know that "Hang up, you worm!"
    Well, maybe it's a figure of speech
    But it ain't nice, "Hang up, you worm!"
    And neither is "Get off me, you leech!"

    And last week I heard it said
    I was "nothing but a bloodsucker shrimp"
    And next week, to look ahead
    It's "Tell him I'm not in, he's a pimp!"

    Well I find those insults difficult to bear
    But I don't let them get the best of me
    'Cause way down deep, I honestly don't care
    For I am a theatrical agent
    I'll stay a theatrical agent
    And a theatrical agent's what I'm proud to be

    Most people sneer at me but I can pay the rent
    As long as I collect my ten percent
    Throw your career at me
    You've found the perfect goat
    As long as I collect my ten percent

    The stars are here today and then forgotten
    The rocket flares then suddenly it melts
    I'd stop to say the system's really rotten
    But I'm too busy signing someone else
    You gotta live, kid!

    No fans will cheer at me
    Yet I remain content
    As long as I collect my ten percent

    Nobody ever sings me no hosanna
    I've even heard me called a parasite
    They say I got the soul of a piranha
    But I ate Lobster Thermidor last night
    And what did you have?

    I'm not the Spotlight Kid
    I'm not the Main Event
    And yet I bloom and thrive
    I'm happy I'm alive
    I live on Lakeshore Drive
    On ten percent
    Ten Percent!

    Composer(s): Abel Baer; L. Wolfe Gilbert
    Performer(s): George Jessel
    and various other artists



    Back in childhood days
    I can remember loving caresses showered on me
    Mother's eyes would gaze at me so tender
    What was their meaning?
    Now I can see

    One bright and guiding light
    That taught me wrong from right
    I found in my mother's eyes
    Those baby tales she told
    That road all paved in gold
    I found in my mother's eyes

    Just like a wandering sparrow
    One lonely soul
    I walked the straight and narrow
    To reach my goal
    God's gift sent from above
    A real unselfish love
    I found in my mother's eyes

    When I'm all alone, no one around me
    I find the future dark as can be
    Sorrows I have known, always surround me
    Then through the shadows, I always see

    One bright and guiding light
    That taught me wrong from right
    I found in my mother's eyes
    Those baby tales she told
    That road all paved in gold
    I found in my mother's eyes

    Just like a wandering sparrow
    One lonely soul
    I walked the straight and narrow
    To reach my goal
    God's gift sent from above
    A real unselfish love
    I found in my mother's eyes

    Grandma's Feather Bed
    Composer(s): Jim Connor
    Performer(s): John Denver;
    and various other artists



    When I was a little bitty boy
    just up off a floor
    We used to go down to Grandma's house
    every month end or so,
    We'd have chicken pie and country ham
    'n' home made butter on the bread
    But the best darn thing about Grandma's house
    was her great big feather bed

    It was nine feet tall and six feet wide
    soft as a downy chick
    It was made from the feathers of forty eleven geese
    took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
    It'd hold eight kids 'n' four hound dogs
    and a piggy we stole from the shed
    We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun
    on Grandma's feather bed

    After supper we'd sit around the fire
    the old folks'd spit and chew
    Pa would talk about the farm and the war
    and Granny'd sing a ballad or two
    I'd sit and listen and watch the fire
    till the cobwebs filled my head
    Next thing I'd know I'd wake up in the morning
    in the middle of the old feather bed

    It was nine feet tall and six feet wide
    soft as a downy chick
    It was made from the feathers of forty eleven geese
    took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
    It'd hold eight kids 'n' four hound dogs
    and a piggy we stole from the shed
    We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun
    on Grandma's feather bed

    Well I love my Ma, I love my Pa
    I love Granny and Grandpa too
    I been fishing with my uncle
    I rasled with my cousin
    I even kissed Aunt Lou ooo!
    But if I ever had to make a choice
    I guess it ought to be said
    That I'd trade 'em all plus the gal down the road
    for Grandma's feather bed
    I'd trade 'em all plus the gal down the road...

    It was nine feet tall and six feet wide
    soft as a downy chick
    It was made from the feathers of forty eleven geese
    took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
    It'd hold eight kids 'n' four hound dogs
    and a piggy we stole from the shed
    We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun
    on Grandma's feather bed
    We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun
    on Grandma's feather bed

    Performer(s): Lesley Ann Warren
    and multiple other artists



    Prince:
    Ten Minutes Ago I saw you
    I looked up when you came through the door
    My head started reeling, You gave me the feeling
    the room had no ceiling or floor
    Ten Minutes ago, I met you
    and we murmered our how-do-you do's
    I wanted to ring out the bells and fling out my arms
    and to sing out the news
    I have found her! She's an angel
    with the dust of the stars in her eyes
    We are dancing, we are flying
    and she's taking me back to the skies
    In the arms of my love I'm flying
    over mountain and meadow and glen
    And I like it so well that for all I can tell
    I may never come down again! I may never come down to earth again

    (Cinderella)
    Ten Minutes Ago I saw you
    You looked up when I came through the door
    My head started reeling you gave me the feeling
    The room had no ceiling or floor
    Ten Minutes Ago I met you
    and we murmered our how-do-you do's
    I wanted to ring out the bells and fling out my arms
    and to sing out the news

    (Prince)
    I have found her!

    (Cinderella)
    I have found him!
    He's the light of the stars in my eyes

    (Prince)
    We are dancing

    (Cinderella)
    We are flying

    (Prince)
    And she's taking me back to the skies

    (Cinderella)
    In the arms of my love I'm flying
    Over mountain and meadow and glen

    (Prince)
    And I like it so well that for all I can tell
    I may never come down again

    (Both)
    I may never come down to earth again

    My Mother Was A Lady
    Composer(s): Edward B. Marks; Jimmie Rodgers
    Performer(s): Marty Robbins
    Johnny Cash; Tompall Glaser; Beatrice Kay



    Two drummers they were seated in a grand hotel one day
    While dining they were chatting in a sort of joking way
    There came a pretty waitress to bring the tray of food
    They spoke to her familiarly in a manner sort of rude

    At first she did not notice nor make the least reply
    When somethin' that was said to her brought teardrops to her eyes
    She turned on her tormentors, her cheeks were flamin' red
    Approaching as a picture these are the words she said

    My Mother was a lady and your's, I would allow
    You may have a sister who needs protection now
    I've come to this great city to find my brother, dear
    You would not dare insult me, sir, if brother Jack were here

    The two sat there in silence, their heads hung low in shame
    Forgive us, miss, we meant no harm, pray tell us what is your name
    She told him and he cried aloud I know your brother too
    We've been friends for many, many years and he oft times speaks of you

    Come go with me when I go back and if you'll only wed
    I'll take you to him as my bride, I've loved you since you said
    My Mother was a lady and your's, I would allow
    You may have a sister who needs protection now
    I've come to this great city to find my brother, dear
    You would not dare insult me, sir, if brother Jack were here

    Grandfather's Clock (aka My Grandfather's Clock)
    Composer(s): Henry Clay Work
    Performer(s): Hank Snow;
    and various other artists



    My grandfather's clock
    Was too large for the shelf
    So it stood ninety years on the floor
    It was taller by half
    Than the old man himself
    Though it weighed not a pennyweight more
    It was bought on the morn
    Of the day that he was born
    And was always his treasure and pride
    But it stopped short
    Never to go again
    When the old man died

    Ninety years without slumbering
    Tick, tock, tick, tock
    His life seconds numbering
    Tick, tock, tick, tock
    It stopped short
    Never to go again
    When the old man died

    In watching its pendulum
    Swing to and fro
    Many hours had he spent while a boy
    And in childhood and manhood
    The clock seemed to know
    And to share both his grief and his joy
    For it struck twenty-four
    When he entered at the door
    With a blooming and beautiful bride
    But it stopped short
    Never to go again
    When the old man died

    Ninety years without slumbering
    Tick, tock, tick, tock
    His life seconds numbering
    Tick, tock, tick, tock
    It stopped short
    Never to go again
    When the old man died

    My grandfather said
    That of those he could hire
    Not a servant so faithful he found
    For it wasted no time
    And had but one desire
    At the close of each week to be wound
    And it kept in its place
    Not a frown upon its face
    And its hand never hung by its side
    But it stopped short
    Never to go again
    When the old man died

    Ninety years without slumbering
    Tick, tock, tick, tock
    His life seconds numbering
    Tick, tock, tick, tock
    It stopped short
    Never to go again
    When the old man died

    It rang an alarm
    In the dead of the night
    An alarm that for years had been dumb
    And we knew that his spirit
    Was pluming his flight
    That his hour of departure had come
    Still the clock kept the time
    With a soft and muffled chime
    As we silently stood by his side
    But it stopped short
    Never to go again
    When the old man died

    Ninety years without slumbering
    Tick, tock, tick, tock
    His life seconds numbering
    Tick, tock, tick, tock
    It stopped short
    Never to go again
    When the old man died

    Ten Milk Bottles
    Composer(s): Andy Roberts - Roger McGough
    Performer(s): Roger McGough



    Ten milk bottles standing in the hall
    ten milk bottles up against the wall
    next door neighbour thinks we're dead
    hasn't heard a sound he said
    doesn't know we've been in bed
    the ten whole days since we were wed

    noone knows and noone sees
    we lovers doing what we please
    but people stop and point at these
    ten milk bottles a-turning into cheese

    ten milk bottles standing day and night
    ten different thicknesses and
    different shades of white
    persistent carolsingers without a note to utter
    silent carolsingers a-turning into butter

    now she's run out of passion
    and there's not much left in me
    so maybe we'll get up
    and make a cup of tea
    then people can stop wondering
    what they're waiting for
    those ten milk bottles a-queuing at our door
    those ten milk bottles a-queuing at our door

    My Mother Doesn’t Know I’m On The Stage
    Composer(s): Billy Bennett
    Performer(s): Billy Bennett



    I'm cherishing a secret in my bosom
    About this dreadful stage-life that I lead
    I've heard it said that Pro's are decent people
    But according to the papers that I read
    Both actresses and actors are dead 'wrong-uns'
    Whether from the 'Palace' or the 'Hippodrome'
    The chaps I meet outside know I'm an actor
    But I never breathe a word of it at home

    So, my mother doesn't know I’m on the stage
    It would break her poor old heart if she found out
    She knows I'm a deserter
    From the Scottish Fusiliers
    She knows I stole a blind-man's can
    That got me seven years!
    She knows I've been connected
    With a gang of West-End Pests
    And the police have had me twice inside the cage
    And she knows I mix with ladies that have got a shady past
    But my mother doesn't know I'm on the stage

    Sometimes she sees the powder on my clothing
    And then it's such a nuisance to explain
    If she thought that it was powder she'd go crazy
    Of course, I have to tell her it's cocaine
    The day she met me out with Gladys Cooper
    She started screaming, "Murder!" and "Police!"
    And would have caused a dreadful scene in public
    So I told her that the girl was 'Crippen's' niece

    'Cos', my mother doesn't know I'm on the stage
    And when I draw six hundred pounds each week
    If she knew where it came from
    She’d shoot me like a dog
    So I told her I'd stole the moneybox
    From an Irish Synagogue
    She can think that I'm a murderer
    Before she'll know the truth
    I have to have respect for her old age
    And she knows that I'm a bigamist, a blackguard and a crook
    But thank Heaven she don't know I'm on the stage
