    The Man That Is Me
    Composer(s): Jim Croce - Ingrid Croce
    Performer(s): Jim & Ingrid Croce



    I'm a dreamer by nature
    And I've always been tryin'
    To dream myself out of this world that I'm in
    In my dreams I escape all the troubles around
    And it hasn't cost a penny
    For the pleasures I've found

    What is the part
    That I'll play today
    Beggar, a bus'ness man, king for a day?
    I've played many parts
    And I'm the first to agree
    That I'm still lookin' round for the man that is me

    I'm a dreamer by nature
    And I've always been
    Looking for something not there
    My financial position
    Don't bother my dreams
    'Cause in fairy tale money
    I'm my own millionaire

    What is the part
    That I'll play today
    Beggar, a bus'ness man, king for a day?
    I've played many parts
    And I'm the first to agree
    That I'm still lookin' round for the man that is me

    I'm a rich man in dreams
    But in real life I've hid
    From the fact that I've got me a wife and a kid
    If I lose what I've got
    Then they lose it too
    Tell me what in this world's a poor dreamer to do

    What is the part
    That I'll play today
    Beggar, a bus'ness man, king for a day?
    I've played many parts
    And I'm the first to agree
    That I'm still lookin' round for the man that is me

    Chicken Composer(s): Jerry Leiber - Walter Rollins - Mike Stoller Performer(s): The Cheers



    They drove the hottest hot rods
    That were ever raced in years
    You could hear `em burnin' rubber
    As they shifted through the gears
    They must have lost their senses
    In their trail of smoke and flame
    `Cos you had to be a maniac
    To play that crazy game

    "Chicken", "Chicken"
    The winner of the game would holler "chicken"

    The laughter of the couples
    Could be heard above the roar
    As they headed t'ward each other
    With their pedals to the floor
    The one that held it showed
    That he was not afraid to die
    And the one that turned aside
    Would hear the winning couple cry

    "Chicken", "Chicken"
    The winner of the game would holler "chicken"

    (Chicken)

    They knew they'd all be losers
    If they ever had a tie
    But the closer they could make a scene
    The louder they would cry
    The kicks were always greatest
    When they had the closest shaves
    And the voices coming back
    Were like an echo from the grave

    "Chicken", "Chicken"
    The winner of the game would holler "chicken"

    And then one night it happened
    `Cos the devil had his way
    He was clickin' off the seconds
    That were left for them to play
    There might have been a winner
    But they had no way to tell
    For the couples all were dead
    And there was no one left to yell

    "Chicken", "Chicken"
    The winner of the game would holler "chicken"

    Ready For You
    Performer(s): Air Supply



    Painted sands and makeshift hands
    Take us round and round
    Horizon clear, you'll soon be near
    And walking on the ground
    I've been round the corner
    Sinking all the doubts in sight
    If you sail across the border
    We can float into the night

    Oh, I'm ready for you
    I'm ready for you
    I'm ready for you
    I'm ready for you

    Cloudy Sky, the wind is high
    And trying to break the spell
    But I'll be here when you appear
    I'll see the night as well
    A feeling's not a feeling
    If you can't believe it's true
    I'd sooner be believing
    'Til the ship comes sailing through

    Oh, I'm ready for you
    I'm ready for you
    I'm ready for you
    I'm ready for you

    I've been round the corner
    Sinking all the doubts in sight
    If you sail across the border
    We can float into the night

    Oh, I'm ready for you
    Oh, I'm ready for you
    Oh, I'm ready for you
    Oh, I'm ready for you

    The Man That Got Away
    Composer(s): Ira Gershwin - Harold Arlen
    First performance by: Judy Garland - 1954
    Covered by multiple other artists



    The night is bitter
    The stars have lost their glitter
    The winds grow colder
    And suddenly you're older
    And all because of
    The man that got away

    No more his eager call
    The writing's on the wall
    The dreams you dreamed have all
    Gone astray
    The man that won you
    Has run off and undone you
    That great beginning
    Has seen it's final inning
    Don't know what happened
    It's all a crazy game

    No more that all-time thrill
    For you've been through the mill
    And never a new love will
    Be the same

    Good riddance, good-bye
    Every trick of his you're on to
    But fools will be fools and where's he gone to?

    The road gets rougher
    It's lonelier and tougher
    With hope you burn up
    Tomorrow he may turn up
    There's just no letup
    The livelong night and day

    Ever since this world began
    There is nothing sadder than
    A one-man woman
    Looking for the man that got away...

    The road gets rougher
    It's lonelier and tougher
    With hope you burn up
    Tomorrow he may turn up
    There's just no letup
    The livelong night and day

    Ever since this world began
    There is nothing sadder than
    A one-man woman
    Looking for the man
    The man that got away...

    The man that got away...

    Chickasaw Train Blues (Low Down Dirty Thing) Composer(s): Minnie McCoy Performer(s): Memphis Minnie; Kansas Joe McCoy



    I'm gon' tell everybody, what that Chickasaw has done done for me
    I'm gon' tell everybody, what that Chickasaw has done done for me
    She done stole my man away, and blow that doggone smoke on me
    She's a low down dirty dog

    I ain't no woman, like to ride that Chickasaw
    Ain't no woman, like to ride that Chickasaw
    Because everywhere she stop, she's stealing some woman's good man, oh
    She's a low down dirty dog

    I told the depot this mornin', I don't think he treats me right
    Told the depot this mornin', I don't think he treats me right
    He done sold my man a ticket, and I know that Chickasaw leavin' town tonight
    He's a low down dirty dog

    I walk down a railroad track, that Chickasaw even wouldn't let me ride the blind
    I walk down a railroad track, that Chickasaw wouldn't even let me ride the blind
    And she stop picking up men, all up and down the line
    She's a low down dirty dog

    Mmm-mmm, Chickasaw don't pay no woman no mind
    Mmm-mmm, that Chickasaw don't pay no woman no mind
    And she stop pickin' up men, all up and down the line

    Lauren Kilgore; Jim Rooney; Doc Watson



    I've got to tell you I've been rackin' my brain
    Hopin' to find a way out
    I've had enough of this continual rain
    Changes are comin', no doubt

    (Chorus:)
    It's been a too long time
    With no peace of mind
    And I'm ready for the times
    To get better

    You seem to want from me what I cannot give
    I feel so lonesome at times
    I have a dream that I wish I could live
    It's burnin' holes in my mind

    (Repeat chorus)

    Na, na, na...

    The Man On The Flying Trapeze
    Composer(s): George Leybourne
    Performer(s): Walter O'Keefe
    and multiple other artists



    Once I was happy, but now I'm forlorn
    Like an old coat that is tattered and torn
    Left on this world to fret and to mourn
    Betrayed by a maid in her teens

    The girl that I loved she was handsome
    I tried all I knew her to please
    But I could not please her one quarter so well
    As the man upon the trapeze

    He'd fly through the air with the greatest of ease
    That daring young man on the flying trapeze
    His movements were graceful, all girls he could please
    And my love he purloined away

    This young man by name was Signor Bona Slang
    Tall, big and handsome, as well made as Chang
    Where'er he appeared the hall loudly rang
    With ovation from all people there

    He'd smile from the bar on the people below
    And one night he smiled on my love
    She wink'd back at him and she shouted "Bravo"
    As he hung by his nose up above

    Her father and mother were both on my side
    And very hard tried to make her my bride
    Her father he sighed, and her mother she cried
    To see her throw herself away

    'Twas all no avail, she went there every night
    And would throw him bouquets on the stage
    Which caused him to meet her; how he ran me down
    To tell you would take a whole page

    One night I as usual went to her dear home
    Found there her father and mother alone
    I asked for my love, and soon they made known
    To my horror that she'd run away

    She'd packed up her box and eloped in the night
    With him, with the greatest of ease
    From two stories high he had lowered her down
    To the ground on his flying trapeze

    Some months after this I went to the Hall
    Was greatly surprised to see on the wall
    A bill in red letters, which did my heart gall
    That she was appearing with him

    He'd taught her gymnastics and dressed her in tights
    To help him live at his ease
    And made her assume a masculine name
    And now she goes on the trapeze

    She'd fly through the air with the greatest of ease
    You'd think her the man young man on the flying trapeze
    Her movements were graceful, all girls she could please
    And that was the end of my love

    Chick-A-Boom (Don't Ya Jes' Love It) Composer(s): Richard Delvy - Janis Gwin Performer(s): Daddy Dewdrop



    Last night I had a crazy dream
    About a chick in a black bikini
    Oh she looked so good she couldn't be real
    So she must be a magic genie
    But then she disappeared around a corner
    All I saw were three doors and the top of her bikini
    I made it through the first door there was a party going on
    I asked about the chick but what they said was this

    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom-boom-boom

    I found the bottom half
    Behind the second door
    Which took me to Africa I presume
    This really far out cat was screaming half crazy
    "Bomp boom a loo bom a long bam boo"
    I said hey man cut that jive
    And tell me where the chick went
    But he looked at me as pleased as could be
    And said a lotta words but I wonder what he meant

    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom-boom-boom

    Ah don't ya jes' love it
    Ooh don't ya jes' love it
    Don't ya love it don't ya love it
    Oh yeah don't ya love jes' it
    Don't ya jes' love it now

    I opened the third door and there she was
    And She whispered so sexy oh ooh
    I tried to do the same and impress her with my style
    But why this chick would never know

    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom-boom-boom

    Don't ya know it

    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it

    The Man In The Moon Is A Lady
    Composer(s): Jerry Herman
    Performer(s): Bea Arthur



    Mame:
    Oh, Vera, I can't wait to hear that Overture
    Tell me about the show!

    Vera:
    Well, well, it's this terribly modern operetta about a lady astronomer
    who make a universe shaking discovery

    Oooooh Aaaaaaaaah...

    Vera:
    I have a little secret I'd like to impart
    That I hope doesn't give you too much of a start
    Tho' it's shocking, it's completely true
    I know it isn't gossip, or rumor, of course
    For I've had it from quite a reliable source
    And I'd like to pass it on to you

    The man in the moon is a lady
    A lady in lipstick and curls
    The cow that jumped ovah cried
    "Jumpin' Jehovah
    I think it's just one of the girls"
    She winks at the stars from her bed of green cheese
    That isn't a night-gown
    It's a Saturn chemise
    Oh, her friends are the stars and the planets
    She sends the Big Dipper a kiss
    So don't ever offend her
    Remember her gender
    The man in the moon is a miss

    And now this man he is a friend of mine
    Don't be afraid of love
    Don't be afraid, don't be afraid to love
    Everybody needs a little love
    Everybody needs somebody

    Smokin' cigarettes by the carton
    Drinkin' coffee by the pound
    Slowly pullin' my hair out by the roots
    Actin' funny, lookin' in a mirror
    Makin' faces like a clown
    Just sittin' here waitin' for
    The man in the little white suit

    Everybody told me you would drive me crazy
    And they said you'd have me barkin' like a hound
    But a fool in love ain't got the sense to listen
    Now my barkin' is the gossip of the town

    Smokin' cigarettes by the carton
    Drinkin' coffee by the pound
    Slowly pullin' my hair out by the roots
    Actin' funny, lookin' in a mirror
    Making faces like a clown
    Just sittin' here waitin' for
    The man in the little white suit

    Just a crazy fool would believe the things you told me
    I hate to say the fool is you know who
    I'd sooner be the victim of a hangin'
    Then be the fool I am because of you

    Making faces like a clown
    Just sittin' here waitin' for
    The man in the little white suit

    Yeah, I'm sittin' here waitin' for the man in the little white suit

    Chicago Blues Composer(s): James P. Johnson Performer(s): Lonnie Johnson and multiple other artists



    Chicago's alright to visit, but please don't hang around You'll find the smooth chicks and high slicks and boy, all those mellow fellows But when your bankroll is gone, you're just another chump, that's dropped in town! My first night in Chicago, my friends really treated me fine Then overnight, they all changed like daylight saving time And ev'rything I wanted, I had to lay my money down on the line I said, "Baby, you're so lovely, your eyes shine like the stars above you wear number three shoes, yes, and wear number five gloves" She said, "It's money I need, baby, I don't need love!" I said, "I could make you love me darlin', baby, I just bet I could you can learn to love me baby, I know you could" She says, "Lay your money down, babe, and make your bettin' good!" I said, "Let's go to New York, baby I'll buy you anything you lack I will give you plenty money, gonna buy you a nineteen forty-two Cadillac!" She says, "I'm sorry, this fine round body will be here when you get back!"

    Reach Out For Me
    Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David
    Performer(s): Dionne Warwick;
    and various other artists



    When you go through a day
    And the things that people say
    They make you feel so small
    They make you feel that
    Your heart will just never stop aching
    And when you just can't accept the abuse you are taking
    Darlin' reach out for me

    Don't you worry I'll see you through
    You just have to reach out for me
    I'll be there and I'll confort you
    Oh yes I will
    Comfort you and love you
    How I'm gonna love you

    When good friends prove untrue
    And the things they do to you
    They make you feel so bad
    They make you feel that
    You haven't a reason for living
    So when you feel you
    Could throw in the towel and just given in
    Darlin' reach out for me

    The Man In A Raincoat
    Performer(s): Marion Marlowe



    Late in the evening, out on the square
    A man in a raincoat, standing there
    We met by the lamp where the newsboy cried
    He stole my heart with his laughing eyes
    Mmmmm

    He took me dancing, dancing 'til dawn
    No happier couple had ever been born
    I felt lke a queen and he was my king
    He borrowed some money to buy me a ring
    Mmmmm

    But I'm still alone. Now the cards are all down
    He's taken my money and skipped out of town
    Now when I pass the place where we met
    I'm wondering if I could forgive and forget
    Mmmmm

    Chicago Composer(s): Robert Fripp - Shauna Hall - Joanna Walton Performer(s): Robert Fripp



    I smile like Chicago
    She laughs like the breeze
    I try so hard to charm her
    With minor mysteries
    I collide with her softness
    With whispers and pleas
    Echoes of the movements
    Delicate obscenties

    It's a one quarter rain dance
    Half of it's prayer
    It's a simplest romance
    Rattles high in the air
    She's the gentlest pretender
    I'm a clown on a spree
    Still it's sweet to remember
    The way it might be

    I smile like Chicago

    Reach Out And Touch (Somebody's Hand)
    Composer(s): Nickolas Ashford; Valerie Simpson
    Performer(s): Diana Ross;
    and various other artists



    Reach out and touch
    Somebody's hand
    Make this world a better place
    If you can
    Reach out and touch
    Somebody's hand
    Make this world a better place
    If you can

    (Just try)
    Take a little time out of your busy day
    To give encouragement
    To someone who's lost the way
    (Just try)
    Or would I be talking to a stone
    If I asked you
    To share a problem that's not your own
    We can change things if we start giving
    Why don't you

    Reach out and touch
    Somebody's hand
    Make this world a better place
    If you can
    Reach out and touch
    Somebody's hand
    Make this world a better place
    If you can

    (Just try)
    If you see an old friend on the street
    And he's down
    Remember his shoes could fit your feet
    (Just try)
    Try a little kindness you'll see
    It's something that comes very naturally
    We can change things if we start giving

    Why don't you
    Reach out and touch
    Why don't you (Why don't you)
    Reach out and touch somebody's hand

    Reach out and touch
    Somebody's hand
    Make this world a better place
    If you can
    Reach out and touch
    Somebody's hand
    Make this world a better place
    If you can

    The Man I Used To Be
    Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Hammerstein
    Performer(s): Samuel Ramey



    The man I used to be, a happy man was he
    And aimless as a leaf in a gale
    Whatever has become of that light-hearted bum
    Who thought he had the world by the tail
    The man I used to be, his life was gay and free
    And aimless as a cloud in the sky
    He thought he knew the game, then along came a dame
    Who turned him into some other guy

    I’ve got ambition now, I’ve got a mission now
    I aim to reach the top of the tree
    That other fly-by-night who looked so high by night
    Has vanished like a sail on the sea
    And I’ll never find that easy-living,
    Easy-taking, easy-giving fellow that I used to call me
    You can never find the man you used to be

    You’ve changed bub, you’ve changed a lot
    And the gang you used to go with all concur
    You’ve changed bub, you’re not yourself
    If this is yourself, you’re not the man you were

    The man I used to be would go to sleep at three
    Or four a.m. or seven or nine
    And when his weary head wasn’t near any bed
    A table or chair would be fine
    A man without a goal, a sort of friendly soul
    He liked to play the role of a host
    To any thirsty pal or a casual gal
    Who’d stay to cook his coffee and toast

    He was a ne’er-do-well who wouldn’t dare do well
    He never saw the top of a tree
    But kinda sad I was to be the cad I was
    Dissolving like a sail on the sea
    And I’ll never find that fatalistic,
    Free-and-easy egotistic optimist who used to be me
    You can never find the man you used to be

    Chicago Composer(s): Graham Nash First release by: Graham Nash - 1971



    Well your brother's bound and gagged
    And they've chained him to a chair
    Won't you please come to Chicago
    Just to sing
    In a land that's known as freedom
    How can such a thing be fair
    Won't you please come to Chicago
    Show your face

    We can change the world
    Re-arrange the world
    It's dying - to get better

    Politicians sit yourself down
    There's nothing for you here
    Won't you please come to Chicago
    For a ride

    Don't ask Jack to help you
    Cause he'll turn the other ear
    Won't you please come to Chicago
    For the help that we can bring

    We can change the world
    Re-arrange the world
    It's dying - if you believe in justice
    It's dying - if you believe in freedom
    It's dying - let a man rule his own life
    It's dying - rules and regulations, who needs them
    Throw 'em out the door

    Somehow people must be free
    I hope the day comes soon
    Won't you please come to Chicago
    Show your face

    From the bottom of the ocean
    To the mountains of the moon
    Won't you please come to Chicago
    No one else can take your place

    We can change the world
    Re-arrange the world
    It's dying - if you believe in justice
    It's dying - if you believe in freedom
    It's dying - let a man rule his own life
    It's dying - rules and regulations, who needs them
    Throw 'em out the door
