The All American Boy Composer(s): Bill Parsons - Orville Lunsford - Bobby Bare Performer(s): Bobby Bare; Bill Parsons
Gather 'round, cats, and I'll tell you a story About how to become an All American Boy Buy you a gittar and put it in tune You'll be rockin' and rollin' soon Impressin' the girls, pickin' hot licks, and all that jazz
AAhhh bought me a gittar a year ago Learned how to play in a day or so And all around town it was well understood That I was knockin' 'em out like Johnny B. Goode Hot licks, showin' off, ah number one.
Well, I 'd practice all day and up into the night My papa's hair was turnin' white 'Cause he didn't like rock'n'roll He said "You can stay, boy, but that's gotta go" He's a square, he just didn't dig me at all
So I took my gittar, picks and all And bid farewell to my poor ole pa And I split for Memphis where they say all Them swingin' cats are havin' a ball Sessions, hot licks and all, they dig me
I was rockin' and boppin' and I's a gettin' the breaks The girls all said that I had what it takes When up stepped a man with a big cigar He said "come here, cat--I'm gonnna make you a star" "I'll put you on Bandstand, buy ya a Cadillac, sign here, kid"
I signed my name and became a star Havin' a ball with my gittar Driving a big long Cadillac and fightin' the girls off ma back They just kept a'comin', screamin', yeah-they like it
So I'd pick my gittar with a great big grin And the money just kept on pourin' in But then one day my Uncle Sam
He said (tap...tap...tap) "Here I am" "Uncle Sam needs you, boy I'm-a gonna cut your hair Ah-Take this rifle, kid Gimme that gittar" Yeah

The Alcoholic Blues Composer(s): Albert Von Tilzer - Edward Laska Performer(s): Billy Murray and multiple other artists
I love my country, 'deed I do But oh, that war has made me blue I like fightin', that's my name But fightin' is the least about the fightin' game
When Mister Hoover said to cut my dinner down I never even hesitate, I never frown I cut my sugar, I cut my coal But now they dug deep in my soul
I've got the blues, I've got the blues I've got the alcoholic blues No more beer, my heart to cheer Goodbye whiskey, you used to make me frisky So long highball, so long gin Oh, tell me when you comin' back agin
Blues, I've got the blues Since they amputated my booze Lordy, Lordy, war is well You know I don't have to tell I've got the alcoholic blues Some blues, I've got the blues
Prohibition that's the name Prohibition drives me insane I'm so thirsty, soon I'll die I'm simply goin' to 'vaporate, I'm just that dry
I wouldn't mind to live forever in a trench Just if my daily thirst they only let me quench And not with Bevo or Ginger Ale I want the real stuff by the pail
I've got the blues, I've got the blues I've got the alcoholic blues No more beer, my heart to cheer Goodbye whiskey, you used to make me frisky So long highball, so long gin Oh, tell mw when you comin' back agin
Blues, I've got the blues Since they amputated my booze Lordy, Lordy, war is well You know, I don't have to tell I've got the alcoholic blues Some blues, I've got the blues
Falso Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro Performer(s): Raphael
Muchos vientos me han quitado ya El polvo de mis alas Muchas lluvias me han borrado ya La candidez del alma Mil amores he vivido ya Muchos golpes he sufrido ya Para que me finjas sensaciones y emociones Que no son verdad
Muchos soles han quemado ya La piel de mi garganta Muchas lunas he visto pasar Mientras que yo soñaba Mil amores he vivido ya Muchos golpes he sufrido ya Para que me finjas sensaciones y emociones Que no son verdad
Falso Ese gesto que me pones Cuando estas entre mis brazos Y el gemido entrecortado se que es falso Todo el fuego que tu pones Cuando yo te estoy amando Y ese grito desgarrado se que es falso
