Callin' Out My Name
Composer(s): Del Shannon
Performer(s): Del Shannon



There's trouble in paradise
with her love you pay such a price
She must be all alone again she's calling for me

She doesn't turn me all the time
When I need her she's got a busy line
She must be all alone again she's calling for me
What else could it be

I know she's
she's calling out my name
I know she's
she's never gonna change her ways
She's always treat me the same
and she knows it's true
what am I gonna do

I could go so far away
but I know I couldn't stay
Knowing that she's all alone again
calling for me

She's dangerous to my heart
I shoulda known it from the start
She must be all alone again she's calling for me
what else could it be

I know she's...
and there is nothing I can do

I know she is...

Fan Mail
Composer(s): Jimmy Destri
Performer(s): Blondie



I set my hand to writing you, it drifted off the page
I sold my one vision, for a piece of the cake
I haven't ate in days
For unspoken value aesthetic and charm
I'd smile at you sideways
But the lighting is wrong
I'm taking a picture and counting the cost
While the bells in my ears keep ringing
I set my hand to writing you, it drifted of the page
I nearly fell I feel like a lowlife in hell
And I haven't slept in days and days, days and days
Beat on my Fender through my Gemini two
Play to the posters on the wall of my room
Thought I was crazy when I'd think about you
And the bells in my ears keep ringing
And the bells in my ears keep ringing
In my ear bells are ringing

The Apartment Song
Composer(s): Tom Petty
First release by: Tom Petty - 1989
Covered by multiple other artists



I used to live in a two room apartment
Neighbors knockin' on my wall
Times are hard, I don't wanna knock it
I don't miss it much at all

Oh yeah, I'm alright
I just feel a little lonely tonight
I'm OK most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight 

I used to need your love so badly
But I came to live with it
Lately I get the funniest feeling
And the whole thing starts again 

Oh yeah, I'm alright (ooo)
I just feel a little lonely within (again)
I'm OK most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight 

I used to need your love so badly
But I came to live with it
Lately I get the funniest feeling
And the whole thing starts again 

Oh yeah, I'm alright (ooo)
I just feel a little lonely tonight
I'm OK most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight 

And the whole thing starts again
I just feel a little lonely within
I'm OK most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight

Famous Last Words Of A Fool
Composer(s): Dean Dillon - Rex Houston
Performer(s): George Strait



I told her I wouldn't miss her at all as she walked to the door
I couldn't care less if she didn't care anymore
And with tears in my eyes, I lied I was glad we were through
As she drove away cryin' at the famous last words of a fool
Famous last words of a fool
Famous last words of a fool
You won't break my heart and I don't love you
Famous last words of a fool
The first night without her would be easy I kept tellin' myself
All the while dyin' at the thought of her lyin' somewhere else
There'll be nothin' to it, I'll easily find someone new
As my breaking heart echoed the famous last words of a fool
Famous last words of a fool
Famous last words of a fool
You won't break my heart and I don't love you
Famous last words of a fool
You won't break my heart and I don't love you
Famous last words of a fool

The Answer To Everything
Composer(s): Bob Hilliard - Burt Bacharach
Performer(s): Del Shannon
and multiple other artists



Don't ask me a mountain of questions
When there is only one answer to it all
Do you love me, really love me as I love you
It's the answer to everything if you do

Don't give me a million excuses
When I am waiting with my arms open wide
Do you love me, really love me as I love you
It's the answer to everything if you do

If there is someone else, some other place who holds your heart 
Tell me now, truthfully, before we start

Don't act like you misunderstand me
When there is simply no mystery to it all
Do you love me, really love me as I love you
It's the answer to everything if you do

Calling Elvis
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Dire Straits; The Tribute Band



Calling Elvis - is anybody home
Calling Elvis - I'm here all alone
Did he leave the building
Or can he come to the phone
Calling Elvis - I'm here all alone

Well tell him I was calling just to wish him well
Let me leave my number - heartbreak hotel
Oh love me tender - baby don't be cruel
Return to sender - treat me like a fool

Calling Elvis - is anybody home
Calling Elvis - I'm here all alone
Did he leave the building
Or can he come to the phone
Calling Elvis - I'm here all alone

Why don't you go get him - I'm his biggest fan
You gotta tell him - he's still the man
Long distance baby - so far from home
Don't you think maybe you could put him on

Well tell him I was calling just to wish him well
Let me leave my number - heartbreak hotel
Oh love me tender - baby don't be cruel
Return to sender - treat me like a fool

Calling Elvis - is anybody home
Calling Elvis - I'm here all alone
Did he leave the building
Or can he come to the phone
Calling Elvis - I'm here all alone

Famous Blue Raincoat
Composer(s): Leonard Cohen
Performer(s): Leonard Cohen;
and various other artists



It's four in the morning, the end of December
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening

I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record

Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?

Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You'd been to the station to meet every train
And you came home without Lili Marlene

And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobody's wife

Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well I see Jane's awake 

She sends her regards

And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you
I guess I forgive you
I'm glad you stood in my way

If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free

Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried

And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear

        - At Last! At Last! (Lee Lawrence)
1971 - Heel Lang (Jo Leemans)



Longtemps, longtemps, longtemps
Après que les poètes ont disparu
Leurs chansons courent encore dans les rues
La foule les chante un peu distraite
En ignorant le nom de l'auteur
Sans savoir pour qui battait leur cœur
Parfois on change un mot, une phrase
Et quand on est à court d'idées
On fait la la la la la la
La la la la la la

Longtemps, longtemps, longtemps
Après que les poètes ont disparu
Leurs chansons courent encore dans les rues
Un jour, peut-être, bien après moi

Un jour on chantera
Cet air pour bercer un chagrin
Ou quelque heureux destin
Fera-t-il vivre un vieux mendiant
Ou dormir un enfant
Ou, quelque part au bord de l'eau
Au printemps tournera-t-il sur un phono

Longtemps, longtemps, longtemps
Après que les poètes ont disparu
Leur âme légère court encore dans les rues

Leur âme légère, c’est leurs chansons
Qui rendent gais, qui rendent tristes
Filles et garçons
Bourgeois, artistes
Ou vagabonds.

Longtemps, longtemps, longtemps
La la la...

Calling America
Composer(s): Jeff Lynne
Performer(s): Electric Light Orchestra



Somebody told her that there was a place like heaven
Across the water on a seven-fortyseven
Yeah, we're living in a modern world
And pretty soon she's really got the notion
Of flying out across the big blue ocean
Yeah, we're living in a modern world

Talk is cheap on satellite
But all I get is static
Information, I'm still here
Re-dial on automatic

Calling America (can't get a message through)
Calling America (that's what she said to do)
Calling America (that's where she has to be)
Calling America (she left a number for me)
Calling America

But I'm just talking to a satellite
Twenty thousand miles up in the sky each night
Yeah, we're living in a modern world
All I had to do was pick up the phone
I'm out in space, trying to talk to someone
Yeah, we're living in a modern world

She left a number I could call
But no one's there, no one at all
There must be something going wrong
That number just rings on and on

Calling America (can't get a message through)
Calling America (that's what she said to do)
Calling America (that's where she has to be)
Calling America (she left a number for me)
Calling America

Said she'd call when she'd been gone a while
Guess she's missing me across the miles
Yeah, we're living in a modern world

Calling America (can't get a message through)
Calling America (that's what she said to do)
Calling America (that's where she has to be)
Calling America (she left a number for me)
Calling America
Calling America, Calling America
Calling America, Calling America...

Family Tree
Composer(s): Gerry Rafferty
Performer(s): Gerry Rafferty



When we were young we used to sing
And we could feel the harmony
You'd sit there waiting in the wings
How long have you been waitin' to let your light shine?

Many years have gone since then
Seen us go our different ways
But now we sit here once again
Tonight we're gonna sing out, tonight our light will shine

This is the time and place
To bring out our memories
It's written on every face
I can see it in you, you can see it in me

In all the years we had
As part of a family tree
We knew the good and bad
I can see it in you, you can see it in me

I know it's left its mark on you
I see the same things in myself
You know there's nothin' we can't do
We've been a long time waitin', but some things never die

It's time to leave all that behind
It's time to lay that ghost to rest
We can't deny the ties that bind
Tonight we're gonna sing out, tonight our light will shine

This is the time and place
To bring out our memories
It's written on every face
I can see it in you, you can see it in me

In all the years we had - when we were young we used to sing
As part of a family tree - we could feel the harmony 
We knew the good and bad
I can see it in you, you can see it in me

Heel Lang

((English Version: At Last! At Last! (Lee Lawrence))
Composer(s): Charles Trenet - Eric Franssen - Van Aleda
Performer(s): Jo Leemans - 1971



Heel lang, heel lang, heel lang
Nadat de dichter zal verdwenen zijn
Zweeft nog steeds door de straat een refrein

Je hoort het weer en steeds maar weer
Doch zelden wordt er naar gevraagd
Wie toch wel dat liedje heeft gemaakt

Zo nu en dan vergeet je een woord
En nu dit kort, alsof 't zo hoort
Van traag 
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la

Heel lang, heel lang, heel lang
Nadat de dichter zal verdwenen zijn
Zweeft nog steeds door de straat hun refrein

Heel lang, heel lang, heel lang
Nadat de dichter zal verdwenen zijn
Zweeft nog steeds door de straat hun refrein

't Kan vrolijk zijn
Het doet zo'n pijn
Het blijft gelijk
Voor arm en rijk

't Is een refrein
Voor jong en oud
Voor groot en klein

Calle Schewens Vals
Composer(s): Evert Taube
Performer(s): Evert Taube; Anders Lundin



On Roslagen´s isle, in a flowery bay
Where ripples wash in from the sea
The reeds slowly rock, and the sweet new-mown hay
Is wafting its fragrance to me
There I sit alone ´mid the trees by the way
And gaze at the sea-birds on high
They dive to the water with glitter of spray
And feed, while I watch them and sigh

I´m mixing my coffee quite freely with rum
To a strength and a flavour just right!
The accordion's measures alluringly come
From my cabin so gaily alight
I feel like a boy, though a granddad am I
My spirit my grey hair belies
I only get worse as the years pass me by
With waltzes and maidens´ bright eyes

Look – there is a gull with a fish he has caught
But I´m caught by arms soft and white!
My heart is so happy, my years are as naught
Then play, for I´m dancing to-night!
The sea sends a song, and its fragrance the glade
To-night you must stay as my guest
Here dances Calle Scheven with Roslagen´s maid 
The sunset is in the Northwest

My flowery isle on your bosom you hold
You tranquil and darkling blue seas!
While June twilight shadows so tender, enfold
All the slumbering bushes and trees
You're dancing so quietly, sweet little miss 
I think that all men you despise
It trembles, that small childish hand that I kiss
While in minor the waltz softly dies

But hey, all you fellows who visit my bay
I´m really a sober old man
When morning has come I must stack up my hay
And catch all the fish that I can!
The deuce take you, twilight; the morn you disclose
In firtops agleam one by one 
Here dances Calle Scheven with Roslagen´s rose
He dances while up comes the sun!

Family Tradition
Composer(s): Hank Williams Jr.
Performer(s): Hank Williams Jr.;
and various other artists



Country music singers 
have always been a real close family 
but lately some of my kin folks 
have disowned a few others and me 
I guess it's because 
I kinda changed my direction 
I guess I went and broke the family tradition 

they get on me wanna know Hank 
why do you drink? 
(Hank) why do you roll smoke? 
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote? 
over and over 
everybody made my prediction 
so if I get stoned 
I'm just carryin' 
on an old family tradition 

I am very proud 
of my daddys name 
although his kinda music 
and mine ain't exactly the same 
stop and think it over 
put yourself in my position 
if I get stoned and sing all night long 
it's a family tradition 

Don't ask me Hank 
why do you drink? 
(Hank) why do you roll smoke? 
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote? 
If I'm down in a Honky-Tonk 
Some ol' slicks tryin to give me corrections 
I'll say leave me alone 
I'm singin all night long 
it's a family tradition 

Lordy, I have loved some ladies 
and I have loved Jim Beam 
and they both tried to kill me 
in 1973 
when that doctor asked me 
Son how did you get in this condition 
I said hey sawbones I'm just carryin on 
an old family tradition 

So don't ask me Hank 
why do you drink? 
(Hank) why do you roll smoke? 
Why must you live out the songs you wrote? 
Stop and think it over 
Try and put yourself in my unique position 
If I get stoned and sing all night long 
It's a family tradition!

The Animal Trainer And The Toad
Composer(s): Leslie West - Sue Palmer
Performer(s): Mountain



For many a year I was so confused
and didnt know what to play
But then I met a man who picked up his horn
and showed me just what to say

He was skinny and lean and he kept himself clean
and he knew how to write them tunes
Then came a day when we started to play
And you know we conquered the moon

I'm in a band
A rock and roll band
I'm in a band

We called him Beethoven and then we showed them
exactly where we wanted to go
So we started a band and toured all the land
A-rakin' in all of that dough

We smoked a few cigs and we played a few gigs
and never missed nearly a one
We covered the States and we hit the Great Lakes
And boy, did we have us some fun

I'm in a band
A rock and roll band
I'm in a band

We had an idea so we put it in gear
and soon we were out on the road
We did it to play and they started to say
The Animal Trainer and the Toad 

Calle Latina
Performer(s): José Feliciano



El sol quedo dibujado sobre la esquina
la noche se fue a dormir con la luna clara
la gente va despertando de la rutina
mi calle latina empieza a mostrar la cara

Gentes de todas partes
de mi América inmortal
mosaico de piel morena
que sabe a fiesta y a carnaval

Gente que está orgullosa
de nuestra música y de nuestra raza
calle que baila al ritmo
mi rica cumbia, merengue y salsa

Soy latino, como tu
Orgulloso como tu

Calle latina, calle latina 
barrio que aprende, jamás olvida

Calle latina, calle latina
I love my salsa, I love mi esquina

Family Reunion

and various other artists



It's so nice to see
All the folks you love together
Sittin' and talkin' 'bout
All the things that's been goin' down

It's been a long, long time
Since we had a chance to get together
Nobody knows the next time we see each other
Maybe years and years from now

Family reunion {Got to have}
A family reunion
Family reunion
{It's so nice to come together} To come together
{To get together}

I wish grandma could see
The whole family
I sure miss her face
And her warm and tender embrace

And if grandpa was here
I know he'd be smiling for me a tear
To see what he has done
All the offsprings from his daughters and sons

A family reunion (Gonna have)
A family reunion (Ooh, ooh)
Family reunion
(It's so nice to come together) To come together
(To get together)

Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...
At least once a year we should have

Family reunion
A family reunion (We need to do it for the young )
Family reunion
(It'll be nice, it'll be nice to come together) To come together
To get together

Family reunion (Sister knows, heaven knows)
A family reunion (It's good to see you)
Family reunion (I said we are sinkin' hands, makin' plans)
(Maybe next year) To come together (Maybe next year)

A family reunion (Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...)
A family reunion {We gotta have, we gotta have}
Family reunion (It'll be nice, it'll be so nice)
(To come together) To come together
(To get together)

You know the family is the solution to the world's problems today
Now let's take a look at the family
In the family the father is like the head, the leader, the director
Not domineering, but showing love, guidance
For everyone else in the family
Now if we could get all the fathers of the world
To stand up and be fathers
That would be great
Then we have mothers
Who are the right arm of the father
There's supposed to-to-to do the cooking
Raise the children, do the sewing
And help the father to guide and direct
Then there's the son
The son, most sons are like imitators of their father
So we're back again to the father
And he is guiding in the right way
The son is definitely gonna be alright
Then we have the daughter
Watching her mother
Be-because sooner or later she's gonna be a mother
And she'll have her own sons and daughters
It don't, it don't just stop there with the family or
Of-of yours or mine
It's a universal family
Under one divine purpose
And one divine father
That is if we all come together no matter what color, race, creed
Because that's all in the head whether you wanna believe it or not
'Cause you'll bleed

Hoo...
Family, family reunion
It'll be nice, so nice, so nice

Christmas In New Orleans

Performer(s): Louis Armstrong
and multiple other artists



Magnolia trees at night, sparkling bright
Fields of cotton look wintery white
When it's Christmastime in New Orleans

A barefoot choir in prayer fills the air
Mississippi folks gathering there
'Cause it's Christmastime in New Orleans

You'll see a dixieland Santa Claus
Leading the band to a good old Creole beat
Golly what a spirit, you can only hear it
Down on Basin Street

Your kids will disappear, when you hear
Hallelujah, St. Nicholas is here
When it's Christmastime in New Orleans

You'll see a dixieland Santa Claus
A-leading the band to a good, good old Creole beat
And golly what a spirit, and you can only hear it
A-down on Basin Street

Your kids will disappear, and when you hear
Hallelujah, old Santa is near
When it's Christmastime in New Orleans

Yes, when it's Christmastime
When it's Christmastime in New Orleans

Calla, calla
No, no me digas nada

Me van a decir cuanto me amas

Calla, calla
No tienes porque hablarme

Sobra hasta la musica
La luz, el sol y el mar
Me sobra hasta la musica
La luz, el sol y el mar

Calla, calla
No, no pronuncies nada
Calla
Tu sigue como estabas
