The Story Of A Starry Night ((Adapted from: Symphony No.6 Pathetique (Tchaikovsky)) Composer(s): Tchaikovsky - Mann Curtis - Al Hoffman - Jerry Livingston Performer(s): Glenn Miller and multiple other artists
This is the storry of a starry night The faded glory of a new delight Long breathless meetings, two lips repeating Sweet precious words that were sweet, but fleeting
When stars are bright my heart keeps wondering why Our first "goodnight" became our last "goodbye" I pray that someday love will in some way Bring back the story of a starry night
Right Time Of The Night Composer(s): Pete McCann Performer(s): Jennifer Warnes; and various other artists
Sun goes down on a silky day Quarter moon walkin' thru the Milky Way When it's me and you baby We could think of somethin' to do 'Cause it's the right time of the night Oh, the stars are winkin' above Honey, it's the right time of the night For makin' love
We'll go drinkin' in some heavy bar I'll take you night ridin' in my chevy car When it's me and you baby We could think of somethin' to do 'Cause it's the right time of the night Oh, the stars are winkin' above Honey, it's the right time of the night For makin' love
I got you and you got me Tell you, that's the way my momma Always said it should be I'll be sweet and you'll be kind We'll be bad, if you don't mind
It's the right time of the night Oh, the stars are winkin' above Honey, it's the right time of the night For makin' love

Come And Stay With Me Composer(s): Jackie DeShannon Performer(s): Marianne Faithfull and various other artists
I'll send away all my false pride And I'll forsake our love my lies Yes, I'll be as true, as true can be If you'll come and stay with me
Lovers of the past I'll leave behind There'll never be another on my mind I'll do all I can so you'll feel free If you'll come and stay with me
The promises I made most faithfully I'll keep still, should you decide to leave I'll try and see that you have all you need If you come and stay with me
We'll live a life no one has ever known But I know you're thinking that I'm hardly grown But O thank God, at last and finally I can see you're gonna stay with me
But O thank God, at last and finally I can see you're gonna stay with me
Right Said Fred Composer(s): Ted Dicks; Myles Rudge Performer(s): Bernard Cribbens; Maya Angelou
"Right" said Fred "Both of us together One each end and steady as we go"
Tried to shift it Couldn't even lift it We was gettin' nowhere, and so We 'ad a cup o' tea and
"Right" said Fred "Give a shout to Charlie" Up comes Charlie from the floor below
After strainin' Heavin' and complainin' We was gettin' nowhere, and so We 'ad a cup o' tea and
Charlie had a think and he thought we ought To take off all the 'andles And the things what 'eld the candles But it did no good Well I never thought it would
"Alright" said Fred "Have to take the feet off" To get them feet off wouldn't take a mo
Took its feet off Even took the seat off Should have got us somewhere, but no!
So Fred said "Let's 'ave another cup o' tea" And we said "Right-oh"
"Alright" said Fred "Have to take the door off Need more space to shift the so-and-so"
Had bad twinges Takin' off the 'inges And it got us nowhere, and so We 'ad a cup o' tea and
"Right" said Fred "Have to take the wall down That there wall is gonna have to go"
Took the wall down Even with it all down We was gettin' nowhere, and so We 'ad a cup o' tea and
Charlie had a think and he said "Look Fred I've got a sort of feelin' If we remove the ceilin' With a rope or two We could drop the blighter through"
"Alright" said Fred Climbin' up a ladder With his crowbar gave a mighty blow
Was he in trouble Half a ton of rubble Landed on the top of his dome!
So Charlie and me 'ad another cup o' tea And then we went 'ome
Spoken: I said to Charlie, we'll just have to leave it standin' on the landin', that's all. You see the trouble with Fred is, he's, he's too 'asty. Now you never get nowhere if you're too 'asty
The Story In Your Eyes Composer(s): Justin Hayward First release by: The Moody Blues - 1971
I've been thinking about our fortune And I've decided that we're really not to blame For the love that's deep in--side us now It's still the same
And the sound we make together Is the music to the story in your eyes It's been shining down upon us now I realize
Listen to the tide slowly turning Wash all our heartaches away
We're part of the fire that is burning From the ashes we can build another day But I'm frightened for our children And the life that we are living is in vain And the sunshine we've been waiting for Will turn to rain
And when the final line is over And it's certain that the curtain's gonna fall I can hide inside your sweet sweet love Forever more
Come And Go Blues Composer(s): Gregg Allman The Allman Brothers Band and various other artists
People say that you're no good But I wouldn't cut you loose, baby, if I could Well, I seem to stay down on the ground Baby, I'm too far gone to turn around Oh, if only you would make up your mind Take me where you go, you're leaving me behind Lord, you got those come and go blues Lord, you got those some and go blues Yes, you do, oh and you got me feelin' like a fool
'Round 'n' 'round, 'round we go Don't ask me why I stay here, I don't know Well maybe I'm a fool to care Without your sweet love, baby I would be nowhere Here I'll stay, locked in your web Till that day I might find somebody else I don't know just when that would be I don't know, I can't say as I can't see Lord you got me feeling like a fool
Sail on, darlin', sail on Woman, you go your way, and I'll go mine Seems to me, that I once heard That everything is finally cured by time So sail on, darlin', sail on Lord, I wish you good luck And I'll see you when you come next time
Woman, you got those come and go blues Yeah, you got those come and go blues Yes, you do, oh and you got me feelin' like a fool
Right Place, Wrong Time Composer(s): Mac Rebennack Performer(s): Dr. John; and various other artists
I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
I'd of said the right thing
But I must have used the wrong line
I been in the right trip
But I must have used the wrong car
My head was in a bad place
And I'm wondering what it's good for
I been the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
My head was in a place
But I'm having such a good time
I been running trying to get hung up in my mind
Got to give myself a little talking to this time
Just need a little brain salad surgery
Got to cure this insecurity
I been in the wrong place
But it must have been the right time
I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong song
I been in the right vein
But it seems like the wrong arm
I been in the right world
But it seems wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong
Slipping, dodging ,sneaking
Creeping hiding out down the street
See me life shaking with every who I meet
Refried confusion is making itself clear
Wonder which way do I go to get on out of here
I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
I'd have said the right thing
But I must have used the wrong line
I'd a took the right road
But I must have took a wrong turn
Would have made the right move
But I made it at the wrong time
I been on the right road
But I must have used the wrong car
My head was in a good place
And I wonder what it's bad for
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
If I had a dozen arms They would all be holding you If I had a dozen dreams In your arms they would all come true Although I know a dozen hearts are fun I couldnt love you much more than I do with one
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
