    The Bed's Too Big Without You
    ((Spanish Version: La Cama Es Muy Grande Sin Ti (Plastilina Mosh) - 1998))
    Composer(s): Sting
    First release by: The Police - 1979
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Bed's too big without you
    Cold wind blows right through my open door
    I can't sleep with your memory
    Dreaming dreams of what used to be
    When she left I was cold inside
    That look on my face was just pride
    No regrets, no love, no tears
    Living on my own was the least of my fears

    Bed's too big without you
    The bed's too big without you
    The bed's too big without you

    Since that day when you'd gone
    Just had to carry on
    I get through the day, but late at night
    Made love to my pillow, but it didn't feel right

    Every day just the same
    Old rules for the same old game
    All I gained was heartache
    All I made was one mistake
    Now the bed's too big without you
    The bed's too big without you
    The bed's too big without you

    Can You Hear The Music Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Keith Richards Performer(s): The Rolling Stones



    Can you hear the music, can you hear the music?
    Can you feel the magic hangin' in the air?
    Can you feel the magic? Oh, yeah

    Love is a mystery I can't demystify, oh, no
    Sometimes I wonder why we're here
    But I don't care, I don't care

    Can you hear the music, can you hear the music?
    Can you feel the magic dancin' in the air?
    Can you feel the magic? Oh, yeah

    Love is a mystery I can't demystify, oh, no
    Sometimes I I'm dancin' on air
    But I get scared, I get scared

    When I hear the drummer, get me in the groove
    When I hear the guitar, makes me wanna move
    Can you feel the magic, floatin' in the air?
    Can you feel the magic? Oh, yeah

    Sometimes you're feelin' you've been pushed around
    And your rainbow just ain't here
    Don't you fear, don't you fear

    When you hear the music trouble disappear
    When you hear the music ringin' in your ears
    Can you feel the magic floatin' in the air?
    Can you hear the magic? Oh, yeah, yeah

    When you hear the music ringin' in my ear
    Can you hear the music? Oh, yeah
    Can you hear the drummer? Gets you in the groove
    Can you hear the guitar? Make you wanna move? Yeah

    Can you hear the music? Oh, yeah
    Can you hear the music ringin' in my ear?
    Can you hear the music, can you hear the music?

    Father To Son
    Composer(s): Brian May
    Performer(s): Queen



    A word in your ear
    From father to son
    Hear the word that I say
    I fought with you
    Fought on your side
    Long before you were born
    Joyful the sound
    The word goes around
    From father to son to son

    And the voice is so clear
    Time after time it keeps
    Calling you, calling you on
    Don't destroy what you see
    Your country to be
    Just keep building on the ground
    That's been won
    Kings will be crowned
    The word goes around
    From father to son to son

    Won't you hear us sing
    Our family song
    Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
    Now we hand it on
    But I've heard it all before
    Take this letter that I give you
    Take it, sonny, hold it high
    You won't understand a word that's in it
    But you'll write it all again before you die

    A word in your ear
    From father to son
    Funny you don't hear
    A single word that I say
    But my letter to you
    Will stay by your side
    Thru' the years
    Till the loneliness is gone

    Sing if you will
    But the air you breathe
    I live to give you
    Father to son, father to son
    Father to son, father to son
    Joyful the sound
    Word goes around
    Father to son to son
    Kings will be crowned
    Earth goes around
    Father to son to son

    Joyful the sound
    Word goes around
    Father to son to son
    Kings will be crowned
    Earth goes around
    Father to son to son

    The Beautiful Day
    Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
    Performer(s): Tiny Tim



    On the beautiful day that I dream about
    In a place I would like to be
    Is a beautiful place where the sun comes out
    And it shines in the sky for me
    On this beautiful winter's morning
    If my wish could come true somehow
    Then the beautiful day that I dream about
    Would be here and now
    On this beautiful winter's morning
    If my wish could come true somehow
    Then the beautiful day that I dream about
    Would be here and now

    Can You Follow? Composer(s): Pete Brown - Jack Bruce Performer(s): Jack Bruce; Larry Coryell



    Hey can you follow
    Now that the trace is fainter
    In the sand
    Try turning your face to the wall

    Can you still read me
    Now that the chase is wilder

    In your hand
    Try losing your place in the sun

    All the praises of the dream
    Tuned to tongles in the trees
    All yesterday's fine chariots
    Turned to buses in the street

    Can you still hear me
    Now that the songs are moving
    Into night
    Try sleeping with the dancers in your room

    Composer(s): Frank Zappa
    Performer(s): Frank Zappa;
    Bohuslan Big Band; Dweezil Zappa



    (Get up on your feet and do the Funky Alfonzo)

    Father Vyvian O'Blivion
    Resplendent in his frock
    Was whipping up the batter
    For the pancakes of his flock
    He was looking rather bleary
    He forgot to watch the clock

    But the night before
    Behind the door
    A leprechaun had stroked it

    But the night before
    Behind the door
    A leprechaun had slowly storked it
    He slowly stroked it

    But the night before
    Behind the door
    A leprechaun had stroked his spot
    He stroked his spot

    It set him off in such a frenzy
    He sang "Lock Around the Crock!"

    And he topped it off with a ...
    And he topped it off with a ...
    And he topped it off with a ...

    oo ooo ooo
    oo ooo ooo
    oo ooo ooo

    As he stumbled on his ...
    He was delighted as it stiffened
    And ripped right through his sock

    "Oh St. Alfonzo would be proud of me"
    He shouted down the block

    Domine vobiscum
    Et cum spiritu tuo
    Don't you eat my sleazy pancakes
    Just for Saintly Alphonzo

    They're so light and fluffy white
    We'll raise a fortune by tonight
    They're so light and fluffy white
    We'll raise a fortune by tonight
    They're so light and fluffy brown
    They're the finest in the town
    They're so light and fluffy brown
    They're the finest in the town

    Good morning your highness
    oo oo ooo
    Good gosh, you're sumptuous
    oo oo ooo

    Good morning your highness
    oo oo ooo
    Good gosh, you're sumptuous
    oo oo ooo

    Can You Find It In Your Heart Composer(s): Robert Allen - Al Stillman Performer(s): Tony Bennett



    I want your eyes to see my eyes
    I want your lips to touch my lips
    I want your love to be my love forever more
    Can you find it in your heart to forgive me

    I was thoughtless heaven knows I acted badly
    But the love I once gave to you so gladly
    Can you find it in your heart

    Can't we make another start, please forgive me
    I'm repenting and your arms alone can save me
    So if carelessly I lost the love you gave me
    Can you find it in your heart

    Day and night I want your eyes to see my eyes
    I want your lips to touch my lips
    I want your love to be my love forever more
    And never never more to part

    Must you tell me that it's over, think it over
    Though I once betrayed your love, forgive the treason
    And my darling if your mind can't find the reason
    Can you find it in your heart

    Must you tell me that it's over, think it over
    Though I once betrayed your love, forgive the treason
    And my darling if your mind can't find the reason
    Can you find it in your heart

    Can you find it in your heart

    Father And Son
    Composer(s): Cat Stevens
    Performer(s): Cat Stevens



    Father
    It's not time to make a change
    Just relax, take it easy
    You're still young, that's your fault
    There's so much you have to know
    Find a girl, settle down
    If you want you can marry
    Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy

    I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy
    To be calm when you've found something going on
    But take your time, think a lot
    Why, think of everything you've got
    For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not

    Son
    How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again
    It's always been the same, same old story
    From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
    Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
    I know I have to go

    Father
    It's not time to make a change
    Just sit down, take it slowly
    You're still young, that's your fault
    There's so much you have to go through
    Find a girl, settle down
    if you want you can marry
    Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy

    Son
    All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside
    It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
    If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them you know not me
    Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
    I know I have to go

    The Bay Of Biscay
    (Traditional)



    Loud roars the dreadful thunder
    The rain a deluge show'rs
    The clouds are rent asunder
    By lightning's vivid pow'rs
    The night was drear and dark
    Our poor devoted bark
    Till next day, there she lay
    In the Bay of Biscay, O!

    Now dash'd upon the billow
    Her op'ning timbers creak
    Each fears a wat'ry pillow
    None stop the dreadful leak
    To cling to slipp'ry shrouds
    Each breathless seaman crowds
    As she lay, till next day
    In the Bay of Biscay, O!

    At length the wished for tomorrow
    Breaks thro' the hazy sky
    Absorb'd in silent sorrow
    Each heaves a bitter sigh
    The dismal wreck to view
    Strikes horror to the crew
    As she lay, on that day
    In the Bay of Biscay, O!

    Her yielding timbers sever
    Her pitchy seams are rent
    When heav'n, all bounteous ever
    Its boundless mercy sent
    A sail in sight appears
    We hail her with three cheer!
    Now we sail, with the gale
    From the Bay of Biscay, O!

    First we learn how to care
    Magical dreams, midnight summer air
    Wouldn’t it be nice to find that some... warm... to share
    What I care
    Maybe someone to love for a lifetime

    Oooh, I have love supreme
    Mystical movements making me flow free
    Slippin’ in between the stars we find that shine all the time
    Now they’re yours
    Now they’re mine
    Now there’s someone to love for a life time

    Ohh, can you feel what I’m saying
    Touching you... touching... touching me
    Can you feel what I’m saying
    Touching you... touching... touching me

    When I was a child
    I was free runnin wild
    And my mother said
    Look what your father's done
    You will not obey
    Won't do nothin' I say
    Then she shook her head
    I was my father's son

    Father and son
    We were a lot like each other
    Father and son
    You know the blood is thicker than water

    Night after night
    My parents would tight
    Till my mother said
    Hush up you'll wake the kid
    And then came the day when he just went away
    And I sat and I cried
    And wondered why he did

    Father and son
    We couldn't be together
    Father and son
    You know the blood is thicker than water

    ----- years later
    But as I go wanderin' on
    I still believe he'll come along
    And we could talk as if nothin' were wrong
    Of things that we done
    Only to talk to him father to son

    ((Adapted from: The 8th Of January (Traditional))
    Composer(s): Jimmie Driftwood
    First release by: Jimmie Driftwood - 1958/1959
    and multiple other artists



    In 1814 we took a little trip
    Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip
    We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
    And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans

    We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin'
    There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
    We fired once more and they began to runnin'
    On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

    We looked down the river and we seed the British come
    And there must have been a hundred of 'em beatin' on the drum
    They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring
    We stood behind our cotton bales and didn't say a thing

    We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin'
    There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
    We fired once more and they began to runnin'
    On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

    Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
    If we didn't fire our muskets till we looked 'em in the eyes
    We held our fire till we seed their faces well
    Then we opened up our squirrel guns and gave 'em...
    Well... we...

    ... fired our guns and the British kept a'comin'
    There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
    We fired once more and they began to runnin'
    On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

    Yeah they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
    And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
    They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
    On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

    We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down
    So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
    We filled his head with cannonballs 'n' powdered his behind
    And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind

    We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin'
    There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
    We fired once more and they began to runnin'
    On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

    Yeah they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
    And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
    They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
    On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

    Hut, hut, three, four
    Sound off, three, four

    Can You Feel The Love Tonight? Composer(s): Elton John - Tim Rice First release by: Joseph Williams & Sally Dworsky - 1994 Covered by multiple other artists



    There's a calm surrender to the rush of day
    When the heat of a rolling wind can be turned away
    An enchanted moment, and it sees me through
    It's enough for this restless warrior just to be with you
    And can you feel the love tonight
    It is where we are

    It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
    That we got this far
    And can you feel the love tonight
    How it's laid to rest
    It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
    Believe the very best
    There's a time for everyone if they only learn
    That the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn
    There's a rhyme and reason to the wild outdoors
    When the heart of this star-crossed voyager beats in time with yours

    Father And Daughter
    Composer(s): Paul Simon
    Performer(s): Paul Simon; Bobby Osborne



    If you leap awake
    In the mirror of a bad dream
    And for a fraction of a second
    You can't remember where you are
    Just open your window
    And follow your memory upstream
    To the meadow in the mountain
    Where we counted every falling star

    I believe the light that shines on you
    Will shine on you forever
    And though I can't guarantee
    There's nothing scary hiding under your bed
    I’m gonna stand guard
    Like a postcard of a Golden Retriever
    And never leave till I leave you
    With a sweet dream in your head

    I'm gonna watch you shine
    Gonna watch you grow
    Gonna paint a sign
    So you'll always know
    As long as one and one is two
    There could never be a father
    Who loved his daughter more than I love you

    Trust your intuition
    It's just like going fishing
    You cast your line
    And hope you'll get a bite
    But you don't need to waste your time
    Worrying about the market place
    Try to help the human race
    Struggling to survive its harshest night

    I'm gonna watch you shine
    Gonna watch you grow
    Gonna paint a sign
    So you'll always know
    As long as one and one is two
    There could never be a father
    Who loved his daughter more than I love you

    I'm gonna watch you shine
    Gonna watch you grow
    Gonna paint a sign
    So you'll always know
    As long as one and one is two
    There could never be a father
    Who loved his daughter more than I love you

    Christmasville U.S.A.
    Composer(s): Abrams - Medley
    Performer(s): Jimmy Charles



    It's a hap-hap-happy time to be in my town
    It's a hap-hap-happy time to be in your town
    It's a snow-filled, mistletoe-filled holiday
    That's Christmasville U.S.A.

    There are jing-jing-jingle bells that ring on my street
    There are jing-jing-jingle bells that ring on your street
    Their's a joy-filled, toy-filled Santa on his way
    That's Christmasville U.S.A.

    It's a place where girls and boys are in their glory
    And it tells each year that old familiar story

    Of a very merry Yuletide here in my town
    And a very merry Yuletide there in your town
    So, by golly-gee, be good, be glad, be gay
    That's Christmasville
    That's Christmasville
    That's Christmasville U.S.A.

    Fate Of A Fool
    Composer(s): J.J. Cale
    Performer(s): J.J. Cale



    Spending my life in a cold hard bar-room
    Drinking that long black whisky down
    I play the guitar, for me it's a living
    Well, I know, just a hanging-around
    Dancing girls, oh, they drive me crazy
    All they want is a fancy name
    Don't you know is I might not make it
    That's the fate of a fool and a guitar man
    Yeah, been down to the palace of pleasure
    Honky-tonk, where I come from
    Smoke's so thick I can't imagine
    Wine flows fast by the rule of a gun
    One of these mornings it'll come up Sunday
    I won't have a good time again
    That time ain't now, it's a whole new dream
    That's the fate of a fool and a guitar man
    One more night, one more dollar
    One more song, can you do it again
    I don't know, I may not make it
    That's the fate of a fool and a guitar man
    That's the fate of a fool and a guitar man

    The Battle Of Kookamonga ((Adapted from: The 8th Of January (Traditional); The Battle Of New Orleans (Jimmie Driftwood) - 1958/1959)) Composer(s): Jimmie Driftwood Performer(s): Homer & Jethro



    In 1959 we took a little hike
    With our scout master down to Lake Oneeganite
    We took a little pizza and we took some saurkrauts
    And we marched along together till we heard The Girl Scouts

    We're the boys from Camp Kookamonga!
    Our mothers sent us here for to study nature's ways
    We learned to make sparks by rubbing sticks together
    But if we catch the girls then we'll set the woods ablaze!
    (And I was mad because me mother sent me up here! Ha-ha-ha!)

    Well we crept up to the water and we see the girls a-swimmin'
    There musta been 100 of them pretty young women!
    They looked so fine even birds forgot to sing!
    We lay down in the poison oak and didn't say a thing

    We're the boys from Camp Kookamonga!
    Our mothers sent us here for to study nature's ways
    We learned to make sparks by rubbing sticks together
    But if we catch the girls then we'll set the woods ablaze!
    (And I was mad because me mother sent me up here! Ha-ha-ha!)

    (Hey, will one of you fellas scratch my back?)

    Well our counselor said we could take them by surprise
    If we didn't say a word till we looked them in the eyes
    We kept real still and we had our eyes aglued!
    We saw how they were dressed they were swimming in the... wellll now!

    We're the boys from Camp Kookamonga!
    Our mothers sent us here for to study nature's ways
    We learned to make sparks by rubbing sticks together
    But if we catch the girls then we'll set the woods ablaze!
    (And I was mad because me mother sent me up here! Ha-ha-ha!)

    Well they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
    And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go!
    They ran so fast even we couldn't catch them
    From Lake Oneeganite all the way to Buffalo!
    (Hey, fellers, wait for me!)

    Well we ran right after them till everyone was pooped
    So we rested for a moment and our forces we regrouped
    Then we saw the girls behind some evergreens
    Captured by a company of United States Marines!

    We're the boys from Camp Kookamonga!
    Our mothers sent us here for to study nature's ways
    We learned to make sparks by rubbing sticks together
    But if we catch the girls then we'll set the woods ablaze!
    (And I was mad because me mother sent me up here! Ha-ha-ha!)

    (Aww, them big guys get everything!)

    Well they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
    And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go!
    They ran so fast even we couldn't catch them
    From Lake Oneeganite all the way to Buffalo!

    A-rootie-toot-toot, a-rootie-toot-toot
    A-we are the boys from the Boy Scout troop!
    We don't smoke and we don't chew
    And we don't go where the girls that do!...

    Can We Still Be Friends? Composer(s): Todd Rundgren First release by: Todd Rundgren - 1978 Covered by multiple other artists



    We can't play this game anymore
    But can we still be friends
    Things just can't go on like before
    But can we still be friends
    We had something to learn
    Now it's time for the wheel to turn
    Grains of sand, one by one
    Before you know it, all gone

    Let's admit we made a mistake
    But can we still be friends
    Heartbreak's never easy to take
    But can we still be friends
    It's so strange, sad affair
    Sometimes seems like we just don't care
    Don't waste time feeling hurt
    We been through hell together

    La La La La...

    We awoke from our dream
    Things are not always what they seem
    Memories linger on
    It's like a sweet, sad old song
