Can you read my mind Do you know what it is you do to me Don't know who you are Just a friend from another star

Can you read my mind Can you picture the things I'm thinking of Wondering why you are All the wonderful things you are
You can fly, you belong to the sky You and I could belong to each other
If you need a friend, I'm the one to fly to If you need to be loved Here I am, read my mind
Will you look at me quivering Like a little girl shivering You can see right through me
If you need a friend I'm the one to fly to If you need to be loved Here I am, read my mind

I just came up on a midnight special, how about that My car broke down in Texas, stopped dead in her tracks I just called to tell you that I want you I want to tell you how I feel
I feel like some old engine Lost my drivin' wheel
I feel like some old engine Lost my drivin' wheel
I took my money on a night train north, what a terrible flight But I made my promise to be there with you on Saturday night I just called to tell you that I need you I need to tell you how I feel
I feel like some old engine Lost my drivin' wheel
You can't say much in a phone call baby, ah you know how it is But there's one short little thing I've got to say girl, please listen to this I called to tell you that I love you I'd love to tell you how I feel
Fatima Brown Composer(s): Joe McCarthy; Jimmie V. Monaco
In our town lived a girlie named Fatima Brown She used to dance night and day, light and gay Oh she certainly was slick, she had the kick But one day came a sporty actor 'round our way Hee promised he would marry her Then he carried her off, the horrid thing Now this same Fatima Brown is the rage of New York town But
Years ago, when Fatima started with her show She used to dance very mild, she was wild When she found she didn't go, she was a crow Bye and bye funny little movements she would try She found the men admired her and inspired her so, the rest you know Now she almost shakes the earth, and you get your money's worth But
Oh, how she changed, she used to dance the butterfly Gracefully she'd kick so high Now she dances the seven veils, but six veils must be shy O o-o! If the home folks knew, why they'll all come sneakin' Even bring the deacon down to town She flitters here, she flitters there, flitters almost everywhere And you have to hold tight to your chair, when you see Fatima Brown
The Bee Song Composer(s): Kenneth Blain Performer(s): Arthur Askey
Oh what a glorious thing to be A healthy grown up busy busy bee Whiling away The passing hours Pinching all the pollen From the cauliflow'rs I'd like to be a busy little bee Being just as busy as a bee can be Flying round the garden Brightest ever seen Taking back the honey To the dear old queen
Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee Bz if you like but don't sting me Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee Bz if you like but don't sting me
Oh what a glorious thing to be A healthy grown up busy busy bee Toying with the tulips Tasting ev'ry type Building up the honeycomb That looks like tripe. I'd like to be a busy little bee Being just as busy as a bee can be Flying all around In the wild hedgerows Stinging all the cows Upon the parson's nose
Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee Bz if you like but don't sting me Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee Bz if you like but don't sting me
Oh what a glorious thing to be A healthy grown up busy busy bee Visiting the picnics Quite a little tease Raising little lumps Upon the maidens' knees I'd like to be a busy little bee Being just as busy as a bee can be Flirting with the butterfly Strong upon the wing Whoopee! O death Where is thy sting?
Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee Bz if you like but don't sting me Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee Bz if you like but don't sting me
Oh what a glorious thing to be A healthy grown up busy busy bee To be a good bee One must contrive For bees in a beehive Must behive But maybe I wouldn't be a bee Bees are all right when alive, you see But when bees die You really should see 'em Pinned on a card In a dirty museum
Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee Bz if you like but don't sting me Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee Bz if you like but don't sting me
Can You Hear What I'm Saying
Composer(s): Jean-Michel Byron - David Paich - Mike Porcaro
Performer(s): Toto
The world is precious, a gift to you and me I suggest we treat her right, with love and dignity
Everybody's looking for some peace of mind If you seek the truth then you will surely find Everybody wants to have global peace Whilst the press of a button can shake the world to its knees
Can you hear what I'm saying, can you hear what I'm saying
Those who say might is right, I beg to disagree I say we all unite and redirect our destiny
Everybody's looking for a quick solution Our longs are choking from breating in air polution I say put down your guns and stop the revolution And say this time we make a restitution
Can you hear what I'm saying, can you hear what I'm saying
Can you hear what I'm saying, can you hear what I'm saying Can you hear what I'm saying, can you hear what I'm saying
Can you hear me now, I am calling right out for you (Can you hear me calling out to you, can you hear me calling out to you)
There's so much starvation, so much say untruth So much prejudice, there's so much liquidation - oh how long, how long
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

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

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
Father O'Blivion 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
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
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!
