The Runaway Train
Composer(s): Guy Massey - Carson Robison
Performer(s): Vernon Dalhart



T'was in the year of eighty-nine, on that old Chicago line
When the winter wind was blowin' shrill
The rails were froze, the wheels were cold, then the air brakes wouldn't hold
And Number Nine came roaring down the hill... oooooh!

The runaway train came down the track and she blew, she blew
The runaway train came down the track and she blew, she blew
The runaway train came down the track, her whistle wide and her throttle back
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew

The engineer said the train must halt and she blew, she blew
The engineer said the train must halt and she blew, she blew
The engineer said the train must halt, he said it was all the fireman's fault
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew

The fireman said he rang the bell and she blew, she blew
The fireman said he rang the bell and she blew, she blew
The fireman said he rang the bell, the engineer said "You did like hell!"
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew

The porter got an awful fright and she blew, she blew
The porter got an awful fright and she blew, she blew
The porter got an awful fright, he got so scared he near turned white
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew

A donkey was standing in the way and she blew, she blew
A donkey was standing in the way and she blew, she blew
A donkey was standing in the way and all they found was just his bray
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew

A drummer sat in the parlor car and she blew, she blew
A drummer sat in the parlor car and she blew, she blew
A drummer sat in the parlor car and he nearly swallowed a fat cigar
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew

The conductor said there'd be a wreck and she blew, she blew
The conductor said there'd be a wreck and she blew, she blew
The conductor said there'd be a wreck and he felt the chills run up his neck
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew

The runaway train went over the hill and she blew, she blew
The runaway train went over the hill and she blew, she blew
The runaway train went over the hill and the last we heard she was going still
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew

Closer
Performer(s): Mel Carter



Loving you madly will be forever
I see the ocean in your eyes when we're together
There are no boundaries , there are no limits
My heart has been embraced now that you're in it

Hold me closer to your dreams
Closer to your fears
Close to hear your laughter
Hold me when you're close to tears

Time passes by seconds into minutes
Every field and flower fades ,but love is infinite
There are no boundaries ,there are no limits
My heart is a bigger place now that you're in it

Hold me closer to your dreams
Closer to your fears
Close to hear your laughter
Hold me when you're close to tears

I wanna be the one
You tell your secrets to
All that I want is to be closer
Closer to you

How tight can you hold me ?
How long can we stay awake ?
How hard can we laugh ?
How much love can we make ?

Hold me closer to your dreams
Closer to your fears
Close to hear your laughter
Hold me when you're close to tears

I wanna be the one
You tell your secrets to
All that I want is to be closer
Closer to you

Return To Pooh Corner
Composer(s): Kenny Loggins
Performer(s): Kenny Loggins;
Jim Salestrom; Phillip Sandifer



Christopher Robin and I walked along
Under branches lit up by the moon
Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore
As our days disappeared all too soon
But I've wandered much further today than I should
And I can't seem to find my way back to the Wood

So help me if you can
I've got to get back
To the House at Pooh Corner by one
You'd be surprised
There's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh

Winnie the Pooh doesn't know what to do
Got a honey jar stuck on his nose
He came to me asking help and advice
And from here no one knows where he goes
So I sent him to ask of the Owl if he's there
How to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear

It's hard to explain how a few precious things
Seem to follow throughout all our lives
After all's said and done I was watching my son
Sleeping there with my bear by his side
So I tucked him in, I kissed him and as I was going
I swear that the old bear whispered "Boy welcome home"

Believe me if you can
I've finally come back
To the House at Pooh Corner by one
What do you know
There's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin
Back to the ways of Christopher Robin
Back to the days of Pooh

The Rules Of The Road
Composer(s): Cy Coleman - Carolyn Leigh
Performer(s): Tony Bennett
and multiple other artists



So these are the ropes
The tricks of the trade
The rules of the road
You're one of the dopes
For whom they were made
The rules of the road

You follow that kiss
And recklessly miss
A bend of the road
Then suddenly this
The end of the road

So love is a hoax
A glittering string
Of little white lies
But these are the jokes
And what if they bring
The tears to your eyes

Well love often shows a funny return
The brighter it glows
The longer you burn
And Lord only knows
Love has little concern
For the fools of the road

That's how it goes
You live and you learn
The rules of the road

Well love often shows a funny return
The brighter it glows
The longer you burn
And Lord only knows
Love has little concern
For the fools of the road

That's how it goes
You live and you learn
The rules of the road
The rules of the road

Close Your Eyes And Remember
Composer(s): Charles Stepney; Richard Rudolph
Performer(s): Minnie Riperton;
Ramsey Lewis; Urban Knights



Blowing softly through a meadow 
Laughing like a baby, breeze tapping 
lightly at the treetops, whispering among the leaves 

You hear the magic song, that ancient poets sing 
It's sweet as morning dew and sounds a lot like springtime 
When you close your eyes 
You feel your heat go there 
So close your eyes and you may find that 
Fireflies were as bright as stars
Close your eyes and remember 
Summertime lingered on and on 
Close your eyes and remember 
Your first love made the world stand still 
Close your eyes and remember 
Close your eyes and remembers when 
The moon was made of cheese 

Racing swiftly through the mountains 
Bubbling along the stream 
Sighing sweetly through the hollow 
Gentle as an infant's dream

Return To Paradise
Composer(s): Elton John; Gary Osborne
Performer(s): Elton John



It's paradise here where the sun meets the sea
There's nothing to fear and so much to be
But soon I must go, say goodbye to it all
That homeland of mine is beginning to call

Goodbye doesn't mean this has to be the end
Fading dreams grow cold as ice
And I got a feeling we will meet again
When we return to paradise

The wind in our hair and the sun in our eyes
There's no need for tears and no time for lies
So reach out your hand and I'll reach out my heart
Remember me while we are apart

I'm heading homeward
Leaving sunshine and heading for rain
But we'll return to paradise again

The Rudder And The Rock
Composer(s): William Oliver - Ray Glaser - Fred Warren - Kenneth McGehen
Performer(s): David Whitfield



One night a sailor at full look out
Heard a lonely seagull cry
He caught a sudden smell of brimstone
And a strange ship floated by
A dead man’s hand was on the tiller
As it sailed beneath the moon
He heard the ghostly captain holler
Your time is coming soon
Who does not answer to the rudder
Shall answer to the rock
If you don’t watch the compass brother
You’ll never make the dock
You’ll end your days right on the bottom
Under Davy Jones’s lock
Who does not answer to the rudder
Shall answer to the rock

The crew sang out a devil’s shanty
As they hauled their mainsail tight
Their dungarees were rags and tatters
And their bones were gleaming white
The bosun held an empty spyglass
Where the captain’s eye should be
For they were doomed to sail the ocean
For all eternity
Who does not answer to the rudder
Shall answer to the rock
If you don’t watch the compass brother
You’ll never make the dock
You’ll end your days right on the bottom
Under Davy Jones’s lock
Who does not answer to the rudder
Shall answer to the rock

A crash of thunder shook the heavens
As the sailor shook with fear
The lightning flickered round the ghost ship
As he watched it disappear
He knew it was the Flying Dutchman
Come to warn him to take heed
He vowed when he got back to harbour
A better life he’d lead
Who does not answer to the rudder
Shall answer to the rock
If you don’t watch the compass brother
You’ll never make the dock
You’ll end your days right on the bottom
Under Davy Jones’s lock
Who does not answer to the rudder
Shall answer to the rock
Shall answer to the rock

There's a warm red ecstasy to love
That makes you tremble with its fire
And there's a pure white majesty to love
When you have both, you have your heart's desire

Can love be as warm as the ruby
Can love be as pure as the pearl
Just look in the heart of my love for you
You'll find the ruby and the pearl

My love will endure as the diamond
And shine with the shimmer of gold
It glows as the bright star above for you
A thing of beauty to behold

Come close and cling to my kiss
Stay close and share the passion of this

Yes, love is as warm as the ruby
And love is as pure as the pearl
Just look in the heart of my love for you
You'll find the ruby and the pearl

The ruby and the pearl

Say "goodnight" and then turn out the light
And close your eyes

Return To Forever
Composer(s): Richard Rudolph; R. Waldman
Performer(s): Minnie Riperton



Days... floating round the bend
Thru the rainbow's end
Return to forever

Nights... ring around the moon
ending all too soon
Return to forever

When we reach the Autumn's bend
Will we wish that we were young again
Laughing in the face of time
If only we knew now, what we did then

Clouds... billow cross the sky
Changing as they fly
Return to forever

Waves... rush to kiss the shore
Once and nevermore
Go back, return to forever

How I wish that you were mine
And we could live again that summertime
To be that happy just this once again
If only we felt now as we did then

Child... holding out your hand
Please try to understand
Return to forever, return to forever

The Rubberband Man
Composer(s): Linda Creed - Thom Bell
Performer(s): The Spinners; Youssou N'Dour; Electric Six



Hand me down my walkin’ cane, hand me down my hat
Hurry now and don’t be late, ‘cause we ain’t got time to chat
You and me, we’re goin’ out to catch the latest sounds
Guaranteed to blow your mind so high you won’t come down!
 
Hey, y’all prepare yourself for The Rubberband Man!
You never heard a sound like The Rubberband Man!
You’re bound to lose control when The Rubberband starts to jam!
 
Oh, Lord, this dude is outta sight!
Everything he does seems to come out right!
 
Once I went to hear him play at a club outside of town
I was so surprised, I was hypnotized by the sound this cat’s puttin’ down!
When I saw this short fat guy stretch a band between his toes
Hey, I laughed so hard ‘cause the man got down when he finally reached his nose!
 
Hey, y’all prepare yourself for The Rubberband Man!
You never heard a sound like The Rubberband Man!
You’re bound to lose control when The Rubberband starts to jam!
 
Got that rubberband up on his toes!
And then he wriggled it up all around his nose!
 
(Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
Guaranteed to blow your mind!
(Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
Playin’ all that music, yet keepin’ time!
(Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
Where in the world did he learn that?! Oh, Lord!
(Doo doo doo doo doo)
Lord, help him get away!
 
Hey, y’all prepare yourself for The Rubberband Man!

You’re bound to lose control when The Rubberband starts to jam!

Got a groovin' on the corner!
(Doo doo doo doo doo)
He's had enough, y’all!
Whoa-oh-oh!
 
Hey, y’all prepare yourself for The Rubberband Man!
You never heard a sound like The Rubberband Man!
You’re bound to lose control when The Rubberband starts to jam!
 
Ah-yah-yah-yah-yah!
Whoa, that Rubberband Man's a doozy!
Move so quick, Lord, he makes me lose it!
 
(Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
And then he stops the show, now!
He wiggled it up, he wiggled it down!
(Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
Got his feet to movin', and that Rubberband off the ground!
(Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
He lifted it way up high, ha!
In the sky, 'y'all!
(Doo doo doo doo doo)
Oh get with it, y’all!

How much of this stuff do he think we can stand?
(Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
So much rhythm, grace and debonair from one man, Lord!
(Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
And then he had nerve to wiggle his left toe!
(Doo doo doo doo doo)
To his knee, got the feelin’ in his head, y’all!
Ah, come on, baby!
 
Hey, y’all prepare yourself for The Rubberband Man!
You never heard a sound like The Rubberband Man!
You’re bound to lose control when The Rubberband starts to jam!
 
Rubberband Man starts to jam,
Movin’ up and down across the land!
Got people all in his ways,
Everything about him seems out of place!
 
(Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
Just a movin’, just a movin’, just a move-move-movin’
Just a Rubberband, Rubberband Man!
(Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
Just a movin’, just a movin’, just a move-move-movin’
Just a Rubberband, Rubberband Man, get down!

Hey, y’all prepare yourself for The Rubberband Man!

You never heard a sound like The Rubberband Man!
You’re bound to lose control when The Rubberband starts to jam!

Return To Camp Grenada
Performer(s): Allan Sherman



Hello muddah, hello faddah 
I am back at Camp Grenada
And I'm writing you this letter
Just to say my compound fracture's getting better

Noone here knows where my trunk is
And my bunk is where the skunk is
But the food here is improving
'Cause the little black things in it are not moving

Our camp nurse is quite a swimmer
She says swimming makes you slimmer
Her name's Mrs. Pellagrini
Have you ever seen a whale in a bikini?

All our bathrooms have such thin doors
Gee I'd wish they'd move them indoors
We're all tired of mother goose here
So next Friday night they're having Lenny Bruce here

Let me stay, oh muddah, faddah let me stay
I love Grenada every night the campfire's really keen 
Oh ma please send some unguintine

Let me stay, up here in muddah nature's land
And tiptoe through the tulips grand
To leave would be a shame
Besides, I'd miss the poker game

Please don't worry, faddah, muddah
I'll take care of little brudda
He plays ball here and he rows here
And I hope they teach him how to blow his nose here

He wakes up half past six hand
Goes directly to the quicksand
He was lonely, now he's better
He's like all of us except his bed is wetter

The Royal Scam 
Composer(s): Donald Fagen - Walter Becker
Performer(s): Steely Dan



And they wandered in 
From the city of St. John 
Without a dime 
Wearing coats that shined 
Both red and green
Colors from their sunny island 
From their boats of iron 
They looked upon the promised land 
Where surely life was sweet 
On the rising tide 
To New York City 
Did they ride into the street 

See the glory
Of the royal scam 

They are hounded down 
To the bottom of a bad town 
Amid the ruins 
Where they learn to fear 
An angry race of fallen kings 
Their dark companions 
While the memory of 
Their southern sky was clouded by 
A savage winter 
Every patron saint 
Hung on the wall, shared the room 
With twenty sinners 

See the glory
Of the royal scam 

By the blackened wall 
He does it all 
He thinks he's died and gone to heaven 
Now the tale is told 
By the old man back home
He reads the letter 
How they are paid in gold 
Just to babble in the back room 
All night and waste their time 
And they wandered in 
From the city of St. John without a dime 

See the glory
Of the royal scam

Close Your Eyes
Performer(s): Edward Bear



Close Your Eyes
I dreamed she came back home last night
Asked her where she'd been
She said I've been around the world and
It almost did me in
She said I hope you didn't wait too long
I have no sense of time
I see you've written one Last Song
And I realized it's mine
Think of all the times we talked
Sing a nursery rhyme

Close your eyes
I'm right beside you
Run for miles you know I'll find you
Cause it's all the same
Change your lovers
Change your name
If you need a friend
Close your eyes
I'm back again

She really came back home last night
Seemed as if she'd changed
Said that she go back to school
And try things once again
But you know it didn't take too long
Till she lost her way
And all the reason in the world could see
She couldn't stay
As I helped her pack her things
It didn't hurt to say

Close your eyes
I'm right beside you
Run for miles you know I'll find you
Cause it's all the same
Change your lovers
Change your name
If you need a friend
Close your eyes
I'm back again

'Cause it's all the same
Change your lovers
Change your name
If you need a friend
Close your eyes
I'm back again

Return Of The Grievous Angel
Composer(s): Thomas S. Brown; Gram Parsons
Performer(s): Gram Parsons;
and various other artists



Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich 
And welcome me back to town
Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlor
And I'll show you how it all went down

Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town

Oh, and I remember something you once told me
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you

`Cause I headed West to grow up with the country
Across those prairies with the waves of grain
And I saw my devil, 
and I saw my deep blue sea
And I thought about a calico bonnet from 
Cheyenne to Tennessee

We flew straight across that river bridge
last night a half past two
The switchman wave his lantern goodbye 
and so long as we went rolling through
Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel
And now I know just what I have to do

And the man on the radio won't leave me alone
He wants to take my money for something 
that I've never been shown

And I saw my devil 
and I saw my deep blue sea
And I thought about a calico bonnet from 
Cheyenne to Tennessee

The news I could bring I met up with the king
On his head an amphetamine crown
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt
And lighted out for some desert town

Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town

Oh, but I remembered something you once told me
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you

Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you

The Roving Kind
(Adapted from: The Pirate Ship)
Composer(s): Jesse Cavanaugh - Arnold Stanton
Performer(s): Guy Mitchell
and multiple other artists



(She had a dark and a rovin' eye-i-eye)
(And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets)
(She was a nice girl, a proper girl)
(But one of the rovin' kind)

As I cruised out one eve-a-ning upon a night's career
I spied a lofty clipper ship and to her I did steer
I heisted out my sig-a-nals, which she so quickly knew
And when she saw my bunting fly, she immediately hove too-oo-oo

(She had a dark and a rovin' eye-i-eye)
(And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets)
(She was a nice girl, a proper girl)
(But one of the rovin' kind)

I took her for some fish and chips and treated her so fine
And hardly did I realise she was the rovin' kind
I kissed her lips, I missed her lips and found to my surprise
She was nothin' but a pirate ship rigged up in a disgui-i-ise

(She had a dark and a rovin' eye-i-eye)
And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets
(She was a nice girl, a proper girl)
(But one of the rovin' kind)

So come all ye good sailor men who sail the wint'ry sea
And come all you apprentice lads, a warnin' take from me
Beware of lofty clipper ships, they'll be the ruin of you
For it t'was there that she made me walk the plank and pushed me under
too-hoo-hoo

(She had a dark and a rovin' eye-i-eye)
(And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets)
She was a nice girl, a proper girl
But one of the rovin' kind
(She was a nice girl, a proper girl)
But one of the rovin' kind

Close Up The Honky Tonks
Composer(s): Red Simpson
Performer(s): Buck Owens
and various other artists



She's in some honky tonk tonight I know
She's dancing where the music's loud and lights are low
In a crowed bar she likes to hang around
And as long as there's a honky tonk, she'll never settle down

So close up the honky tonks, lock all the doors
Don't let the one I love go there any more
Close up the honky tonks, throw away the key
Then maybe the one I love will come back to me

I wish I had the power to turn back the time
And live again the hours when she was all mine
But it hurts to see her running with that crowd down
And as long as there's a honky tonk, she'll never settle down
