    That Is Rock And Roll
    Composer(s): Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller
    First release by: The Coasters - 1959
    Covered by multiple other artists



    In the beginning, there weren't nothin' but rocks
    Then somebody invented the wheel
    And things just started in to roll!

    Did you ever hear a tenor sax
    Swingin' like a rusty axe?
    Honkin' like a frog
    Down in a hollow log?
    Well, baby, that is rock and roll

    Did you ever hear a guitar twang
    Dingy, dingy, dingy, dang?
    Ever hear those strings
    Doin' crazy things?
    Well, baby, that is rock and roll

    That ain't no freight train that you hear
    Rollin' down the railroad tracks
    That's a country boy piano man
    Playin' in between the cracks

    You say that music's for the birds
    And you can't understand the words?
    Well, honey, if you did
    You'd really blow your lid
    'Cause, baby, that is rock and roll

    That ain't no freight train that you hear
    Rollin' down the railroad tracks
    That's a country boy piano man
    Playin' in between the cracks

    You say that music's for the birds
    And you can't understand the words?
    Well, honey, if you did
    You'd really blow your lid
    'Cause, baby, that is rock and roll (In the mornin')
    Baby, that is rock and roll (In the evenin')
    Baby, that is rock and roll

    My Way Of Giving
    French Title: Je N'Ai Jamais Rien Demandé
    Composer(s): Ronnie Lane; Steve Marriott
    Originally performed by: The Small Faces
    Covered by various other artists



    I've been told it's just a matter of time
    before you meet someone who opens your eyes
    But time's on my side so nevertheless
    I know the pain of too much happiness

    [Chorus:]
    It's all part of my way of giving
    and I'm giving it all to you
    More than love it's a way of living
    and what more would you have me do

    Although I'm not a guy that means to hurt
    and if at times it seems our love won't work
    I tell you honey, you must surely realize
    See all confusion in my cloudy eyes

    [Chorus]

    Although I'm not a guy that means to hurt
    and if at times it seems our love won't work
    I tell you honey you must surely realize
    See all confusion in my cloudy eyes

    [Chorus]

    Growing Closer
    Composer(s): Ian McLagan
    Performer(s): Humble Pie



    Here I am with dust in my pants
    I don't know what to do
    Been on the road for almost a week
    I just wanna be with you
    Makes no difference where I am
    Feeling hard to breathe
    If I thought you felt the same
    Wouldn't be so bad for me
    Thought I know all about it from the start
    Took a short cut to nowhere
    To make it feel alright
    Got to cut this travelling out
    I hate sayin' goodbye
    We leave the day we arrive
    Or I'll wanna know why
    Growing closer, comin' in out of the dark
    Here I am with dust in my pants
    I don't know what to do
    Been on the road for almost a week
    I just wanna be with you

    That Greasy Kid Stuff
    Composer(s): Cy Coben
    Performer(s): Janie Grant



    Cleopatra sailing down the Nile with Mark
    Was huggin' and kissin', was as happy as a lark
    But suddenly she ran her fingers through his hair
    Stopped and said, "Well, I declare...
    Are you still using that greasy kid stuff?
    That icky sticky ooey gooey greasy kid stuff"

    Stanley looked for Livingston the books all say
    Found him in the jungle on that famous day
    Shook his hand and shouted in a voice that boomed
    "Dr. Livingston I presume...
    That you're still using that greasy kid stuff
    That icky sticky ooey gooey greasy kid stuff"

    Delilah was a gal who was as smart as a fox
    She crew-cut Sampson's curly locks
    She wiped off the scissors when the job was done
    Then whispered softly, "Tell me, hon...
    Are you still using that greasy kid stuff?
    That icky sticky ooey gooey greasy kid stuff"

    I dreamt that I was at a summit meeting last night
    Nikita and the President were setting things right
    Everything was fine until Nikita says
    "If it's not top secret, tell me Prez...
    Are you still using that greasy kid stuff?
    That icky sticky ooey gooey greasy kid stuff"

    Waarom, zeg mij waarom ben ik alleen en altijd eenzaam
    Waarom, zeg mij waarom noemt niemand mij eens bij mijn voornaam
    Ik heb ook nooit een vrouw die mij eens helpt of met me uitgaat
    Waarom, zeg mij waarom moet ik alleen staan

    Ach ja, ik heb m’n werk, verdien m’n geld, dat is m'n leven
    ‘t Is allemaal voorbij, maar ik zou zo graag iets willen geven
    Zolang ik dat niet kan ben ik niet blij en blijf ook eenzaam
    Waarom, zeg mij waarom moet ik alleen staan

    'k zit hier alleen, zonder vriendin, waar moet ik heen, ‘t heeft toch geen zin
    Ik zou zo graag, geloof me toch, met jou willen praten, dansen de nacht
    Maar dat soort dromen komen nooit uit, ‘k blijf altijd eenzaam

    En toch ik heb nog hoop want er is toch nog steeds een morgen
    En als 't geluk dan komt dan zal ik altijd voor haar zorgen
    En bouw daar een gezin waar ik m'n leven mee kan slijten
    Ooh kom, breng mij geluk, ‘t liefste morgen

    Nu droom ik het weer, ben ik verliefd, o lieve schat, zeg alsjeblieft
    Kom dicht bij mij, geef me een zoen, ik houd van jou, dat zal ik doen
    Maar dat soort dromen komen nooit uit, ‘k blijf altijd eenzaam

    Growin' Up
    Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
    Performer(s): Bruce Springsteen;
    and various other artists



    I stood stone-like at midnight suspended in my masquerade
    I combed my hair till it was just right and commanded the night brigade
    I was open to pain and crossed by the rain and I walked on a crooked crutch
    I strolled all alone through a fallout zone and came out with my soul untouched
    I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said "Sit down" I stood up
    Ooh-ooh growin' up

    The flag of piracy flew from my mast, my sails were set wing to wing
    I had a jukebox graduate for first mate, she couldn't sail but she sure could sing
    I pushed B-52 and bombed `em with the blues with my gear set stubborn on standing
    I broke all the rules, strafed my old high school, never once gave thought to landing
    I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said "Come down" I threw up
    Ooh-ooh growin' up

    I took month-long vacations in the stratosphere and you know it's really hard to hold your breath
    I swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared, I was the cosmic kid in full costume dress
    Well, my feet they finally took root in the earth but I got me a nice little place in the stars
    And I swear I found the key to the universe in the engine of an old parked car
    I hid in the mother breast of the crowd but when they said "Pull down" I pulled up
    Ooh-ooh growin' up
    Ooh-ooh growin' up

    That Girl Belongs To Yesterday
    Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Keith Richards
    Performer(s): Gene Pitney



    Last night I needed you so bad
    I was alone and feeling sad
    But now that I recall
    You left me after all
    The only girl I've ever had

    I never ever made you cry
    No, no I didn't even try
    You promised you'd be true
    You said you loved me too
    My only girl told me a lie

    And maybe there'll come a day
    When I can smile and say
    She used to be my girl

    But now there's nothing left to say
    She only wanted me for play
    I learned my lesson fast
    But now I know at last
    That girl belongs to yesterday

    My only girl
    My only girl
    I learned my lesson fast
    But now I know at last
    That girl belongs to yesterday
    That girl she belongs to yesterday

    And now the end is near
    And so I face the final curtain
    My friend, I'll say it clear
    I'll state my case of which I'm certain

    I've lived a life that's full
    I travelled each and every highway
    And more, much more than this
    I did it My Way

    Regrets, I've had a few
    But then again too few to mention
    Did what I had to do
    And saw it through without exemption
    Planned each charted course
    Each careful step along the byway
    And more, much more than this
    I did it My Way

    Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew
    When I bit off more than I could chew
    But through it all when there was doubt
    I ate it up and spit it out
    I faced it all and I stood tall
    And did it My Way

    I've loved
    I've laughed and cried
    I've had my fill, my share of losing
    And now as tears subside
    I find it all so amusing
    To think I did all that
    And may I say not in a shy way

    Oh no, oh no not me
    I did it My Way

    For what is a man, what has he got?
    If not himself, then he has naught
    To say the things he truly feels
    And not the words of one who kneels
    The record shows
    I took the blows
    And did it my way!

    Grow, Mrs. Goldfarb
    Performer(s): Allan Sherman



    Grow, Mrs. Goldfarb, fatter, fatter
    Pile more potatoes on your platter
    Listen to me, 'cause I'm your hubby
    I just adore you plump and chubby
    I got a letter from the state, Dear
    You're gonna need a license plate, Dear
    My little elephant joke come true
    Chew, Mrs. Goldfarb, chew!

    There is so much more of you
    More to adore you
    'Cause you're not slender
    In your white dress you're a doll
    Big as the Taj Mahal
    In all its splendor
    When you're in gepartment stores
    Don't use the revolving doors
    You might get stuck, Dear
    When you use the telephone
    Go in the booth alone
    And lots of luck, Dear

    You had for breakfast: two pounds bacon
    Three dozen eggs, one coffee cake and
    Then you had something really awful
    Four kippered herrings on a waffle
    Nine English muffins, one baked apple
    Boston cream pie, Philadelphia scrapple
    Seventeen bowls of Crispy Crunch
    Then you said, "What's for lunch?"

    Sweetheart, you are giant size
    You are Lane Bryant size
    My darling Myrtle
    Last Thanksgiving I was thrilled
    You ate so much, you killed
    Your living girdle
    Have another dozen shrimp
    My lovely little blimp
    Don't count a calorie
    I just received a stub
    I owe the Diner's Club
    A whole years salary

    Eat, Mrs. Goldfarb, daily, nightly
    Eat, though your chair is bending slightly
    Love of my life, I'm glad I found you
    Each day I take a walk around you
    I can't forget when we got married
    Over the threshold I got carried
    No other bride would be so sweet
    Eat, Mrs. Goldfarb, Eat!

    Raindrops fallin' on these hills tonight
    I've been drivin' since the mornin' light
    It won't be long before those headlights shine
    And I'll be missin' that girl of mine

    Yesterday, I was safe and warm
    Yesterday, I held her in my arms
    Now the raindrops fallin'
    And I feel like callin'
    That Girl

    Well there ain't no explainin' what she does for me
    It might be somethin' only I can see
    Understanding in a quiet way
    Undemanding and I got to say

    I'm in love, and I know it's for sure
    I'm in love, I can't stop thinking of her
    Now the raindrops fallin'
    And I feel like callin'
    That girl

    Well I've been callin' that girl for such a long long time
    I can't get through, I'm 'bout to lose my mind
    I got so much to tell her, I got so much to say
    Ooh, I'm gonna love her till my dyin' day

    Oh, I'm in love, and I know it's for sure
    I'm in love, I can't stop thinking of her
    now the raindrops fallin'
    I feel like callin'
    Raindrops fallin'
    I feel like callin'
    Raindrops fallin'
    And I feel like callin'

    Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



    Today I’ve been thinking of My Wasted Past
    And all the heartaches that I’ve been through
    It seems to me this world has turned me down
    And there’s nothing left for me to do

    In the future you no I have no planes
    Since you ran away with another man
    I feel as though this is the last
    As I’m thinking of My Wasted Past

    Ah Billy Byrd now

    The clouds take the sunshine and bring the rain
    Like you took my love and brought me pain
    Now I’m all alone with memories of the past
    And I’ll never see my love again

    In the future you no I have no plan
    Since you ran away with another man
    I feel as though this is the last
    As I’m thinking of My Wasted Past

    That feeling is gone, I must go on without you
    That feeling is gone, the thrill I used to know
    You tell me you're sorry, that it wasn't meant to be
    It's easy to be sorry, but how about me ?

    That feeling is gone, still I could never doubt you
    For old times' sake, I'll gladly take the blame
    Although I can't forget you, I wonder why I ever met you
    That feeling is gone, never to be the same

    Now I'm a walkin' groundhog mama and I walks around in my den
    Now I'm a walkin' groundhog mama and I walks around in my den

    If you don't feed me baby I believe I'll go back in the ground
    Because I'm that walkin' groundhog, mama and I walks around in my den
    Now if I come out and see my shadow you say you don't love me
    I believe I'll go back in

    Now I wanna hear some swingin' music, I wanna hear a Fats Waller song
    Now if I start to jitterbuggin' I'm forgettin' my hole down in the ground
    Because I'm that walkin' groundhog, man and I walks around in my den

    Now if I come out and see my shadow my woman don't love me
    I believe I'll go back in

    Yes John, you know what I mean...
    Oh you know I'm a-walkin' wild...

    Now if you don't pet me baby, I believe I'll go back down in New Orleans
    Because I'm that walkin' groundhog, at night I walks around in my den
    Now if I come out and see my shadow my woman don't love me
    yeah an' I believe I'll go back in

    Chicken Feed
    Performer(s): Bobbi Staff



    It's not because the money you have is only chicken feed
    It's because I know I'm not the only chicken you feed
    I don't care if a boy has barely enough to feed me
    I just wanta know that I'm the only chicken he feeds feed

    I heard about you last night, out in the bright lights with old Suzie Brown
    You took her to the movie show, you took her to the bowling bowl, you took her ev'ry place in town
    Guess ya think it's funny out spendin' all your money, leavin' me home alone
    Well from now on I'm gonna be anywhere else but home

    It's not because the money you have is only chicken feed
    It's because I know I'm not the only chicken you feed
    I don't care if a boy has barely enough to feed me
    I just wanta know that I'm the only chicken he feeds

    I was sittin' home thinkin' how I'd like to be drinkin' a Coke somewhere in town
    When a friend phoned me, and she told me you were feedin' old Suzie Brown
    Well I got down low, got to feelin' so low that I thought I would die
    Well I've got news for you, I'm not going to sit home and cry

    It's not because the money you have is only chicken feed
    It's because I know I'm not the only chicken you feed
    I don't care if a boy has barely enough to feed me
    I just wanta know that I'm the only chicken he feeds feed

    I just wanta know that I'm the only chicken he feeds feed

    My Very Good Friend The Milkman
    Composer(s): Johnny Burke; Harold Spina
    Performer(s): Fats Waller
    and various other artists



    My very good friend the milkman says
    That I've been losing to much sleep
    He doesn't like the hours I keep
    And he suggests that you should marry me

    My very good friend the mailman says
    That it would make his burden less
    If we both had the same address
    And he suggests that you should marry me

    Then there's a very friendly fellow who prints
    All the latest real estate news
    And every day he sends me blueprints
    Of cottages with country views

    My very good friends the neighbours say
    That they've been watching little things I do
    And they perceive that I love you
    So I suggest that you should marry me

    Grosse Galette
    Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
    Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers



    Dans le brouillard de Londres
    J'ai rencontré un soir
    Un type nommé Bobby
    Un guitariste noir
    Il venait de Kingstone
    Avait des yeux violets
    Dans un bar de Brighton Beach
    C'était là qu'il jouait

    Ses doigts longs et rapides couraient sur sa guitare
    Ses riffs comme des fluides transperçaient le brouillard
    Puis la lumière dorée du soleil de Negril
    Planait sur la fumée en petites notes agiles
    Ses textes étaient précis et bourrés d'humour noir
    C'était donc mon ami depuis ce fameux soir

    Mélodie, tempo, harmonie
    J'te les joue ici, mais elles viennent d'ailleurs
    Mélodie, tempo, harmonie
    Guitare, basse, batterie, saxophone et chœurs

    J'étais noir moi aussi mais pour d'autres raisons
    J'avais passé dix ans à dormir en prison
    C'était une drôle d'affaire pleine de coups d'escopette
    De transporteurs de fond et puis de grosse galette

    Mélodie, tempo, harmonie
    Je chante en sous-sol mon reggae braqueur
    Mélodie, tempo, harmonie
    Surtout pas de cris, ça s'passe en douceur

    Dans la vie, mon garçon, que tu sois noir ou blanc
    T'as le choix, tu travailles ou tu gagnes de l'argent
    Les flics n'ont pas aimé cette chanson historique
    Paumée la grosse galette et finie la musique

    Mélodie, tempo, harmonie
    J'te les joue ici, mais elles viennent d'ailleurs
    Mélodie, tempo, harmonie
    Guitare, basse, batterie, saxophone et chœurs

    That Face
    Composer(s): Lew Spence - Alan Bergman
    Performer(s): Fred Astaire
    and multiple other artists



    That face, that face, that wonderful face!
    It shines, it glows all over the place
    And how I love to watch it change expressions
    Each look becomes the pride of my possessions

    I love that face, that face, it just isn't fair
    You must forgive the way that I stare
    But never will these eyes behold a sight that could replace

    That face
    That face
    That face

    I love those eyes, those lips, that fabulous smile
    She laughs and Spring goes right out of style

    Oh never will these eyes behold a sight that could replace
    That face
    That face
    That face
    That face
    That face
    That face
    That face

    My Unfinished Symphony
    Composer(s): Milton Carson
    Performer(s): David Whitfield



    My love is my unfinished symphony
    When you kiss me violins begin to play
    The melody I hear when you are near
    Will linger on till tomorrow is today
    My love's a rhapsody the breezes sigh
    In my heart it sings and echoes to the sky
    Such a love will live on through eternity
    That's my unfinished symphony

    Such a love will live on through eternity
    That's my unfinished symphony
