The Story Book Ball Composer(s): Billie Montgomery - George Perry Performer(s): Billy Murray and multiple other artists
In Mother Goose's book up in the nurs'ry Poor Simple Simon said, "I'm feeling sad" Said Peter Piper's daughter, "So am I, and think we oughta Try to think of something that will make us glad" So Smarty Smarty said, "I'll give a party" And they called on the Old Woman in the Shoe The cat she brought her fiddle, and she played "high diddle diddle" And what happened then, I'm goin' to tell to you
Little Jackie Horner, eating pie up in the corner Stuck in his thumb, pulled out a plum Little Missy Muffet she was sitting on a tuffet And she said, "Yum, yum! Please give me some" Little Georgie Porgie with his pudding and pie Kissed Mary Quite Contrary till he made her cry And Little Bo Peep she lost her sheep And couldn't find 'em, their tails behind 'em
Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater had a wife and couldn't keep her At the ball in the hall Humpty Dumpty met her, said, "Better that I get her And I'll make her fall" That's not all Old King Cole, that merry old soul He fell for Mother Hubbard, blew his big bankroll Buying lollipops and pretties for the kiddies At the Story Book Ball
They danced and sang till early in the morning They really didn't know just when to stop So as the day was dawning and the kiddies all were yawning They found out the mouse had run up in the clock Then Jack Be Nimble, Jack Be Quick, he started And right over that big candlestick he flew Then Little Tommy Tucker started singing for his supper And then Poor Boy Blue said, "Gee, I'm hungry too"
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickling peppers Brought 'em to the hall, and that's no stall Tommy Tom the piper's son, he stole a pig and away he run To the ball. Ah, that's not all Polly put the kettle on, the tea got cold They had to eat the porridge that was nine days old Then Jack fell down, Jill broke her crown And spilled the water. She hadn't oughta
Four and twenty blackbirds were baking in a pie And they refused to sing anything Wasn't that an awful way for little birds to act Before a queen and king? Such a thing! Said the Knave and the King to the Queen of Hearts "Come on, hurry up, honey, bring some tarts" So she did and the kids had a picnic At the Story Book Ball

If I Had A Dozen Hearts Composer(s): Harry Revel - Paul Francis Webster Performer(s): Betty Hutton & Andy Russell
If I had a dozen hearts And if you had only one If I had a dozen hearts I would love you twelve times one If I had a dozen lips I would say twelve times a day Darling, I love you

Come And Get Your Happiness Composer(s): Samuel Pokrass; Jack Yellen Performer(s): Shirley Temple
Why are grown up peoples faces Wrinkled like a lot of prunes Money money that's what chases them Around like crazy loon's I think they make a big mistake Wealth and happiness that counts Are free to all in large amounts
There's millions worth of golden sunbeams That everybody can possess All Gods children got success Come and get your happiness
There's billions worth of silver moonbeams Enough for everyone I guess What's a million more or less Come and get your happiness
Among the wildwood of your happy childhood Where you were Jill's and Jack In raggy britches there's a lot of riches On which you don't pay any income tax
So get under their blue heaven Away from trouble and distress Just find Mother Nature's address And come and get your happiness
Right Or Wrong Composer(s): Paul Biese; Haven Gillespie; Arthur Sizemore Performer(s): Bob Wills
Right or wrong, I'll always love you Though you're gone, I can't forget Right or wrong, I'll keep on dreaming Still I wake with that same old regret
All along I knew I'd lose you Though I prayed that you'd be true In your heart, please just remember Right or wrong, I'm still in love with you
Right or wrong, I'll always love you Though you're gone, I can't forget Right or wrong, I'll keep on dreaming Still I wake with that same old regret
All along I knew I'd lose you Though I prayed that you'd be true Oh Lord, in your heart, please just remember Right or wrong, I'm still in love with you
A Square In The Social Circle Composer(s): Jay Livingston - Ray Evans Performer(s): Betty Hutton; Paul Weston; Darlene Popovic
When I was young I found it grim To gurgle in the social swim The dos and don'ts, the lah-di-dahs To me were just a lot of Blah! I used my silver spoon at birth For throwing meatballs at my nurse I always chose to thumb my nose At smarty clothes and party pose I ditched the rich and sable set To join the kitchen table set...
I use the wrong fork at the Stork in New York My manners ain't fit for a goof I'm just a square in the social circle Who put that fly in my soup?
I'd rather go out with a lout to a bout Than sleep in a symphony hall I'm just a square in the social circle Who knocked my gum off that wall?
When the orderly order flows like butter I want to start pitchin' a curve With a silly old blighter on a first nighter I feel like a pickled hors d'ouvres, no verve
I never felt gay in a fancy beret I wear babooshka or burst I'm just a square in the social circle Finger bowls hurt me the worst They just don't quench my thirst!
Mrs. Vanderhorst will greet me with a fourteen carat shout "My Dear, you've simply got to come to my daughter's coming out" Her daughter is a Frankenstein, a Dracula in mink When she comes out, each stag will shout "Gadzooks, I need a drink" I've dined in clubs, I've elbow rubbed from Yonkers to Cheyenne Phoo to you, bud, take your blue blood and stick it in your fountain pen!
I wanna brush all the plush and the gush I'd rather get left than be right I'm just a square in the social circle Anyone here want a fight?
None of me fits with the wits at the Ritz I'd rather relax on a stool I'm just a square in the social circle Anyone wanna shoot pool?
When the cookie with cabbage gets too savage Wrastle him three out of four I would rather a sailor hop in my trailer And show me his nautical lore, why sure
The ladies in frills only fill me with chills They're soft as a ball of chenille I'm just a square in the social circle I got a muscle of steel Anyone here want to feel?
I'm as square as a pair in a bootaneer Fancy silk won't stay on I'm designed for rayon But I just don't seem to care I'm a square!
Come And Get These Memories Composer(s): Lamont Dozier; Brian Holland; Edward Holland Jr. Performer(s): Martha & The Vandellas and various other artists
Lover you've gone from me And left behind so many memories
Here's your old friendship ring I can't wear it no more Here's your old love letters I can't read them any more
Lover you've gone from me And left behind so many memories
Here's that old teddy bear That you won from me at the state Here's some old valentine cards Give it to your new sweetheart
Lover you've gone from me And left behind so many memories
Come and get em, come and get em
Here's our old favorite record I can't stand to hear it anymore Here's some old lingering love Its in my heart and its tearing it apart
Because of these memories I never think of anybody but you So, come on and get 'em 'Cause I found somebody new Come and get these memories Since you've gone out of my life Come and get these memories Since you've gone out of my life Come and get these memories Since you've gone out of my life Come and get these memories Since you've gone out of my life
Right On The Tip Of My Tongue Composer(s): Joe Cobb; Van McCoy Performer(s): Brenda & The Tabulations
It was right on the tip of my tongue And I forgot to say "I love you" It was right on the tip of my tongue And I forgot to say "I love you"
I played the game of love and lost And now my heart must pay the cost I had the chance to make you mine
but I wasted too much time And let your love slip away
It was right on the tip of my tongue And I forgot to say "I love you" It was right on the tip of my tongue And I forgot to say "I love you"
While I was wondering where to start She came along and won your heart With all the tender words of love that I was thinking of But never bothered to say
Mmm, wait a minute, wait a minute I've got something to tell you Don't walk away, baby
It was right on the tip of my tongue And I forgot to say "I love you" It was right on the tip of my tongue (And I forgot to say) to say, to say...
(Ah, ah, ahh, tip of my tongue) my tongue (Tip of my tongue)
Spoken: Didn't you know? Couldn't you see? I tried to tell you--please...? Don't you understand? I love you... Don't walk away...oh, please...?
Come And Get Me Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David Performer(s): Jackie DeShannon
I know what life has done to you Things haven't been much fun for you That's why you went away And now, I'm all alone I wasn't meant to be on my own
Turn back, turn back And come and get me Oh, come and get me Take me along I don't care where you lead me If you leave me It can't be wrong just to be with you There's no place in this world That I wouldn't go
This time isn't the time for you You have to be where the skies are blue And here, the skies are gray Darling, I understand Don't you need someone to hold your hand
Turn back, turn back And come and get me Oh, come and get me Take me along I don't care where you lead me If you leave me It can't be wrong just to be with you There's no place in this world That I wouldn't go
Oh, please, won't you tell me Where you've gone to, gone to If I knew where you were I'd be right there
Please, send me hope To be hanging onto Just to show me you care

The Stars Didn't Show Composer(s): Eric Stewart - Graham Gouldman Performer(s): 10 cc
We came from miles around Just to listen to your sound You made the night seem endless You cast a magic spell You played the part so well Your music blew away the darkness We loved you for better We loved you for worse But we never took you for granted Your lives were a blessing But they carried a curse The night that the stars didn't show You made me stand so proud I was lifted from the crowd The fire inside me burning The figure dressed in black Sending shivers down my back Deep inside my soul was stirring We loved you for better We loved you for worse The sweet inspiration that you gave us And I can remember we didn't rehearse The night that the stars didn't show Mountains may crumble And worlds fall apart Lovers and friends may desert me The road may be long But I know in my heart Your spirit will always be with me The thrill to be up there A sea of faces everywhere I look I find you We loved you for better We loved you for worse But we never took you for granted Your lives were a blessing But they carried a curse The night that the stars didn't show We loved you for better We loved you for worse The sweet inspiration that you gave us And I can remember we didn't rehearse The night that the stars didn't show

Mistakes are made because words are misunderstood It's all, all in how you talk Waking over somebody, sounds like a strange thing to do but it's all, all in how you are (walk) Seems like it might be the right thing to say at the time
and I (how d'you) know I probably say it again gimme just a little taste, gimme just a little taste more and I'll be flying out, fliyng out the wise and old, old is the whole world and I'd just turn around like a baby and I'd crawl, crawl right back inside...
