    The Army Goes Rolling Along (aka "The Caisson Song" and "The Field Artillery Song")
    Composer(s): Edmund L. Gruber



    March along, sing our song, with the Army of the free
    Count the brave, count the true, who have fought to victory
    We’re the Army and proud of our name
    We’re the Army and proudly proclaim

    First to fight for the right
    And to build the Nation’s might
    And The Army Goes Rolling Along

    Proud of all we have done
    Fighting till the battle’s won
    And the Army Goes Rolling Along

    Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey!
    The Army’s on its way
    Count off the cadence loud and strong (Two! Three!)
    For where e’er we go
    You will always know
    That The Army Goes Rolling Along

    Valley Forge, Custer’s ranks
    San Juan Hill and Patton’s tanks
    And the Army went rolling along
    Minute men, from the start
    Always fighting from the heart
    And the Army keeps rolling along

    Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey!
    The Army’s on its way
    Count off the cadence loud and strong (Two! Three!)
    For where e’er we go
    You will always know
    That The Army Goes Rolling Along

    Men in rags, men who froze
    Still that Army met its foes
    And the Army went rolling along
    Faith in God, then we’re right
    And we’ll fight with all our might
    As the Army keeps rolling along

    Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey!
    The Army’s on its way
    Count off the cadence loud and strong (Two! Three!)
    For where e’er we go
    You will always know
    That The Army Goes Rolling Along

    Fanfare/Don't Dream It
    Composer(s): Richard O'Brien
    Performer(s): The Toronto Musical Review;
    and various other artists



    Dr. Frank-N-Furter:
    Whatever happened to Fay Wray?
    That delicate satin draped frame
    As it clung to her thigh, how I started to cry
    'Cause I wanted to be dressed just the same
    Give yourself over to absolute pleasure
    Swim the warm waters of sins of the flesh
    Erotic nightmares beyond any measure
    And sensual daydreams to treasure forever
    Can't you just see it, whoo-ho-ho!
    Don't dream it, be it
    Don't dream it, be it

    (Don't dream it, be it)
    (Don't dream it, be it)
    (Don't dream it, be it)
    (Don't dream it, be it)
    (Don't dream it, be it)

    (Don't dream it, be it)
    (Don't dream it, be it)
    (Don't dream it, be it)

    Dr. Von Scott:
    Ach! We've got to get out of this trap
    Before this decadence saps our wills
    I've got to be strong and try to hang on
    Or else my mind, may well snap
    And my life will be lived
    For the thrills

    Dr. Frank-N-Furter: Don't dream it, be it
    Brad: It's beyond me, help me, Mommy
    Janet: God bless Lili St. Cyr

    Calypso ((Adapted from: Calypso (English Version) (by John Denver) - 1975)) Composer(s): John Denver - Johan Verminnen Performer(s): Bart Kaëll - 1998



    We zeilen zo rustig doorheen kabbelend water
    En denken nog niet aan 't gevaar van een storm
    We zijn zo gelukkig, de zorgen voor later
    We zien wel wat er ooit nog van komt
    We zijn moe van de vragen en van de problemen
    We willen dat iemand ons redt uit de nood

    Vaar Calypso en klief de golven
    Toon ons de wereld die jij verkent
    Vaar Calypso, we willen jou volgen
    Naar oorden die niemand van ons nu al kent
    Hidiheeho...

    Een groepje dolfijnen duikt voor het schip op
    Tot groot jolijt van de zeelui aan boord
    De zon aan de einder die moet straks verdwijnen
    En kleurt de avond plots hevig fel rood
    We zijn vrij als de wind, we kennen geen grenzen
    De wereld is groot, veel groter dan groot

    Vaar Calypso en klief de golven
    Toon ons de wereld die jij verkent
    Vaar Calypso, we willen jou volgen
    Naar oorden die niemand van ons nu al kent

    Vaar Calypso en klief de golven
    Toon ons de wereld die jij verkent
    Vaar Calypso, we willen jou volgen
    Naar oorden die niemand van ons nu al kent
    Hidiheeho...

    Fanfan
    Petite Fanfan, petite Fanfan je m'ennuie

    Heureusement il y a Noël
    Et les vacances de Pâques au Tréport
    Heureusement que l'arc-en-ciel
    Repeint les mâts des bateaux dans le port
    J'espère que tu t'ennuies un peu de moi
    Que tu n'as pas trop de copains
    Mais si bien sûr tu as un peu de joie
    Garde-m'en pour demain

    Fanfan
    Petite Fanfan, je m'ennuie
    Dans mon lycée aux murs de pluie
    J'entends les bruits qui font les étoiles
    J'entends le cri du train de nuit
    Qui prend mon lit et le trimballe
    D'ici je vois comme au bout d'un tunnel
    Le bleu de ta robe de pastel
    Ô qu'il me soit bientôt donné le temps
    De revoir Fanfan

    Gérard Carlier; Francis Lopez
    Performer(s): Luis Mariano



    Fandango du pays basque
    Fandango simple et fantasque
    Pour te danser dans les bras d'un garçon
    Une fille ne dit jamais non!
    Tout le pays est en fête
    Et tout le monde est poète
    Chacun ce soir ne pense qu'à l'amour
    La montagne flirte avec l'Adour

    {Refrain:}
    Fandango ... Fandango...
    Que rythment les bravos
    Que répète l'écho
    De Sare à Bilbao
    C'est le chant des ruisseaux
    C'est le chant des oiseaux
    C'est le chant de l'amour Fandango!

    Fandango du pays basque
    Fandango simple et fantasque
    C'est grâce à toi que l'on fait des folies
    Qui sont bien le meilleur de la vie
    Et combien de mariages
    On a vu dans le village
    Sur tes accents si joyeux et vibrants
    Et ton rythme qu'on a dans le sang

    {Refrain}

    Fandango du pays basque
    Fandango simple et fantasque
    Les mains sur les tambourins bien entrain
    Rythment ce refrain jusqu'au matin
    Alors grands pèr's et grands mères
    Ont des regards qui s'éclairent
    En écoutant cet air du bon vieux temps
    Ils revoient leur printemps de vingt ans!

    {Refrain}

    Het maanlicht

    Oh vanavond

    Ze kan mijn

    Calling Your Name Again Composer(s): Richard Carpenter - Richard Marx Performer(s): The Carpenters



    I wake up in the dark
    The silence brings me to my senses
    I wonder where you are
    Then I feel the pain
    The pain in my heart
    Coz I’m living without your love
    I’m all - alone for the first time
    And it doesn’t seem to be a dream
    A dream that will be over

    All the words you said
    Weren’t enough to fool this heartache
    The memories in my head
    Are they enough to stop me falling apart?
    Coz I’m living without your love
    Maybe it won’t be the last time
    I don’t know how much more I can take
    Hopeless wide-awake and here I go…

    Calling your name again
    Thinking of all that we two had before
    There’s got to be more
    This I know
    Calling your name again
    Remembering all the love you gave to me
    And how it used to be…

    I think of what’s to come
    Then I turned and see your picture
    The tears began to fall
    And soon again they sense of nothing at all
    Coz I’m living without your love
    Won’t think that I’ll make it this time
    Something tells me this is not the end
    Wish I could pretend but here I go

    Calling your name again
    Thinking of all that we two had before
    There’s got to be more
    This I know
    Calling your name again
    Remembering all the love you gave to me
    And how it used to be…

    Calling your name again
    Remembering all the love you gave to me
    And how it used to be…

    How it used to be…

    The Argonaut
    (Traditional)
    Performer(s): Roger McGuinn



    'Twas the twenty-first of January
    Eighteen fifty three
    Our gallant ship the Argonaut
    Set sail for jubilee
    Singin' blow ye winds of morning
    Blow ye winds hi ho
    Stow away your runnin' gear and
    Blow boys blow

    We headed up to Greenland
    Into the wintry seas
    Where there's ice and snow, and the whale fish blow
    And Jamaca rum would freeze
    Singin' blow ye winds of morning
    Blow ye winds hi ho
    Stow away your runnin' gear and
    Blow boys blow

    Our captain Davy Grant me boys
    He give us all a treat
    And that is why we caught a whale
    That measured fifty feet
    Singin' blow ye winds of morning
    Blow ye winds hi ho
    Stow away your runnin' gear and
    Blow boys blow

    And when reached Cape Harrison
    The weather it turned clear
    Our pilot aimed us to the south
    And homeward we did steer
    Singin' blow ye winds of morning
    Blow ye winds hi ho
    Stow away your runnin' gear and
    Blow boys blow

    But shortly out of Newfoundland
    A storm began to rise
    The seas kicked up, the mast it broke
    The Argonaut capsized
    Singin' blow ye winds of morning
    Blow ye winds hi ho
    Stow away your runnin' gear and
    Blow boys blow

    Of all those bold, brave sailors
    On that day did set sail
    Well I'm the only one alive
    Left to tell the tale
    Singin' blow ye winds of morning
    Blow ye winds hi ho
    Stow away your runnin' gear and
    Blow boys blow

    It was the twenty-first of January
    Eighteen fifty three
    Our gallant ship the Argonaut
    Set sail for jubilee
    Singin' blow ye winds of morning
    Blow ye winds hi ho
    Stow away your runnin' gear and
    Blow boys blow

    Fancy
    Composer(s): Bobbie Gentry
    Performer(s): Bobbie Gentry;
    and various other artists



    "Well, I remember it all very well lookin' back
    It was the summer that I turned eighteen
    We lived in a one-room, run down shack
    on the outskirts of New Orleans

    We didn't have money for food or rent
    to say the least we was hard-pressed
    when Momma spent every last penny we had
    to buy me a dancin' dress

    Well, Momma washed and combed and curled my hair
    then she painted my eyes and lips
    Then I stepped into the satin dancin' dress
    It had a split in the side clean up to my hips

    It was red, velvet-trimmed, and it fit me good
    and standin' back from the lookin' glass was a woman
    where a half grown kid had stood

    She said, "Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down!
    Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down
    God forgive me for what I do
    but if you want out girl it's up to you
    Now get on out, you better start sleepin' uptown"

    Momma dabbed a little bit of perfume
    on my neck and she kissed my cheek
    Then I saw the tears welling up
    in her troubled eyes as she started to speak

    She looked at our pitiful shack and then
    she looked at me and took a ragged breath
    She said, Your Pa's runned off, and I'm real sick
    and the baby's gonna starve to death

    She handed me a heart-shaped locket that said
    "To thine own self be true"
    and I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across
    the toe of my high-healed shoe

    It sounded like somebody else was talkin'
    askin', "Momma what do I do?"
    She said, "Just be nice to the gentlemen, Fancy
    They'll be nice to you"

    She said, "Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down!
    Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down
    God forgive me for what I do
    But if you want out girl it's up to you
    Now don't let me down
    now get on out, you better start sleepin' uptown"

    That was the last time I saw my momma
    when I left that rickety shack
    The welfare people came and took the baby
    Momma died and I ain't been back

    But the wheels of fate had started to turn
    and for me there was no other way out
    It wasn't very long after that I knew exactly
    what my momma was talkin' 'bout

    I knew what I had to do
    Then I made myself this solemn vow
    I's gonna to be a lady someday
    though I didn't know when or how

    But I couldn't see spendin' the rest of my life
    with my head hung down in shame
    You know I mighta been born just plain white trash
    but Fancy was my name

    She said, "Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down!
    Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down
    God forgive me for what I do
    but if you want out girl it's up to you
    Now get on out, you better start sleepin' uptown"

    Wasn't long after that a benevolent man
    took me in off the streets
    One week later I was pourin' his tea
    in a five roomed penthouse suite

    Since then I've charmed a king, a congressman
    and an occasional aristocrat
    and I got me an elegant Georgia mansion
    and a New York townhouse flat

    Now I ain't done bad

    Now in this world there's a lot of self-righteous
    hypocrites who call me bad
    They criticize Momma for turning me out
    No matter how little we had

    But I haven't had to worry 'bout nothin'
    now for nigh on fifteen years
    But I can still hear the desperation
    in my poor mommas voice ringin' in my ears

    "Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down!
    Oh, here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down
    God forgive me for what I do
    but if you want out girl it's up to you
    Now get on out, you better start sleepin' uptown"

    The Apple Tree (Forbidden Fruit)
    Composer(s): Jerry Bock - Sheldon Harnick
    Performer(s): Matt Monro



    Listen Closely
    Let Me Fill You In
    About The Rich Ripe Round Red Rosy Apples
    They Call Forbidden Fruit
    What I'm About To Say Is Confidential
    So Promise You'll Be Mute
    Because If Every Creature In The Garden Knows
    They'll Come 'Round Like Hungry Buffalos
    And In No Time There'll Be None Of Those Precious Apples
    Left For You And Me

    Now In The Average Apple
    You're Accustomed To Skin, Seeds, Flesh And Core
    But You Will Find That These Are Special Apples
    That Give You Something More
    Why, Every Seed Contains Some Information
    You Need To Speed Your Education
    The Seeds, Indeed, Of All Creation Are Here
    Why, Be Foolish My Dear
    Come With Me
    To That Tree

    With Every Sweet And Juicy Luscious Bite
    Of This Not Forbidden Fruit
    You'll See Your Mind Expand
    And Your Perceptions Grow More And More Acute

    And You Can Teach Him Plumbing And Philosophy
    New Techniques For Glazing Pottery
    Wood-Craft, First-Aid, Home Economy
    Madam, Adam Will Be Overjoyed!

    When He Becomes Aware Of
    Your Attainments He'll Beam With Loving Pride
    And He Will Say

    "O, Eve, You're Indispensable!
    Please, Don't Leave My Side!"
    And With Your Nifty, New-Found Education
    He'll Relish Every Conversation
    Why You'll Be Adam's Inspiration This Way!
    Just An Apple A Day
    Wait And See
    Come With Me
    To That Tree!
    Now!

    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

    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

    Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft Composer(s): Terry Draper - John Woloschuk First release by: Klaatu - 1976 Covered by multiple other artists



    In your mind you have capacities you know
    To telepath messages through the vast unknown
    Please close your eyes and concentrate
    With every thought you think
    Upon the recitation we're about to sing

    Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
    Calling occupants of interplanetary most extraordinary craft

    Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
    Calling occupants of interplanetary most extraordinary craft

    You've been observing our earth
    And we'd like to make a contact with you
    We are your friends

    Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
    Calling occupants of interplanetary ultra-emissaries

    We've been observing your earth
    And one night we'll make a contact with you
    We are your friends

    Calling occupants of interplanetary quite extraordinary craft

    And please come on peace, we beseech you
    Only a landing will teach them
    Our earth may never survive
    So do come, we beg you
    Please interstellar policeman
    Oh, won't you give us a sign
    Give us a sign that we've reached you

    With your mind you have ability to form
    And transmit thought energy far beyond the norm
    You close your eyes, you concentrate
    Together that's the way
    To send the message
    We declare world contact day

    Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
    Calling occupants of interplanetary most extraordinary craft

    Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
    Calling occupants of interplanetary most extraordinary craft

    We are your friends
