Riptide Composer(s): Walter Donaldson; Gus Kahn Performer(s): Al Bowlly; and various other artists
Riptide, caught in a riptide Torn between two loves, the old and the new Riptide, lost in a riptide Where will it take me, what shall I do?
My heart is tossed on a sea of emotion One love offers romance, the other devotion A new love is calling, the old love is bleeding Im caught in a riptide, what shall I do?

Ripple Composer(s): Jerry Garcia; Robert Hunter Performer(s): Grateful Dead; and various other artists
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung Would you hear my voice come thru the music Would you hold it near as it were your own?
It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken Perhaps they're better left unsung I don't know, don't really care Let there be songs to fill the air
Ripple in still water When there is no pebble tossed Nor wind to blow
Reach out your hand if your cup be empty If your cup is full may it be again Let it be known there is a fountain That was not made by the hands of men
There is a road, no simple highway Between the dawn and the dark of night And if you go no one may follow That path is for your steps alone
Ripple in still water When there is no pebble tossed Nor wind to blow
But if you fall you fall alone If you should stand then who's to guide you? If I knew the way I would take you home
La dee da da da, La da da da da, Da da da, Da da, Da da da da da La da da da, La da da, Da da, La da da da, La da, Da da
The Tears Of A Clown Composer(s): Stevie Wonder - Smokey Robinson - Henry Cosby First release by: Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
Now if there's a smile on my face It's only there trying to fool the public But when it comes down to fooling you Now honey that's quite a different subject
But don't let my glad expression Give you the wrong impression Cos really I'm sad, Oh I'm sadder than sad Well I'm hurt and I want you so bad Like a clown I appear to be glad ooh yeah
Well they're some sad things known to man But ain't too much sadder than The tears of a clown when there's noone around Oh yeah, baby baby, oh yeah baby baby
Now if I appear to be carefree It's only to camouflage my sadness And honey to shield my pride I try To cover this hurt with a show of gladness But don't let my show convince you That I've been happy since you Cos I need to go, oh I need you so Look I'm hurt and I want you to know For others I put on a show...
Well they're some sad things known to man But ain't too much sadder than The tears of a clown when there's noone around Oh yeah, baby baby, oh yeah baby baby
Just like Pagliacci did I try to keep my surface hid Smiling in the crowd I try But in a lonely room I cry The tears of a clown When there's noone around, oh yeah, baby baby Now if there's a smile on my face Don't let my glad expression Give you the wrong impression Don't let this smile I wear Make you think that I don't care Cos really I'm sad...
Dog Named Jim Composer(s): Richard Pryor Performer(s): Stinter
I once had a dog and his name was Jim And he went around the house hiding things He hid my old brown shoe and he hid it well And where he put it I could not tell
Oh no... Jim you shouldn't hide these things you know
Well Jim got mad and he ran away He ran from the house one dark day He hid in an old brown shack, it hid him well And where he went I could not tell
Oh no... Jim you shouldn't hide away you know
Jim, don't leave me alone... Don't leave from your home... Where's your bone?
I had a little dog and his name was Jim And I never found out what happened to him Maybe he's buried in an old brown box But what I want to know is where's my socks?

The Tattooed Lady Composer(s): O'Keefe Performer(s): Billy Cotton
I just heard a story that rings in my ears It's one of the saddest a soul ever hears To think of it makes me break out into tears It deals with a man and his mate Mother Eve in the Garden of Eden Heard the serpent the same as the lass And this girl might have turned from temptation Except for a terrible snake in the grass
Oh, shame on the man who pursued her The villain who viciously wooed her She fell in a faint, so he pulled out his paint And the first thing she knew, he'd tattooed her
Her downfall began as an innocent thing Her husband went off to go fishing one spring So she joined her girl friends to go on a fling They all went to bathe on the beach Then this artist came up with his paint pot And his needle to toy mit her calf She allowed him to tinker, he painted a fiend Who was sawing a woman in half
Oh, shame on the man who pursued her The villain who viciously wooed her She fell in a faint, so he pulled out his paint And the first thing she knew, he'd tattooed her
The girl wasn't bright, and the fellow was smart And now that he'd made such a favourable start He made her believe she was helping his art They met every day after that
Never once did she think that he loved her Nor did she think that he'd do her harm Till the day that he tattooed in red, white and blue And he wrote "I love you" on her arm
Oh, shame on the man who pursued her The villain who viciously wooed her She fell in a faint, so he pulled out his paint And the first thing she knew, he'd tattooed her
Her husband come home and they instantly kissed His eyes read the writing from elbow to wrist He foamed at the mouth and eventually hissed His rage drove him blinkin' well barmy She was hurt by his attitude deeply And hysterically started to laugh So she pulled down her stocking and showed him the beast Who was sawing a woman in half
Oh, shame on the man who pursued her The villain what viciously wooed her She fell in a faint, so he pulled out his paint And the first thing she knew, he'd tattooed her
No chance did she have to explain things, for then He yelled, "Never dampen my bath-mat again" So now she gets tattooed whenever she can She works in a circus for pay And her soft epidermis is painted With the pictures of sailors and such And if you have a needle you too can tattoo On the skin that they all love to touch
Oh, shame on the man who pursued her The villain who viciously wooed her She fell in a faint, so he pulled out his paint And the first thing she knew, he'd tattooed her
The Tarpaulin Jacket Composer(s): G.J. Whyte-Melville - Charles Coote
A tall stalwart lancer lay dying And as on his deathbed did lay To his friends who around him were sighing These last dying words he did say
Wrap me up in my tarpaulin jacket And say a poor buffer lies low And six six stalwart lancers shall carry me With steps solemn, mournful and slow
Had I the wings of a little dove Far away I would fly, I'd fly Start for the arms of my true lover And there I would lay me and die
Then get you two little white tombstones Put them at my head and my toe, my toe And get you a penknife and scratch there 'Here lies a poor buffer below'
And get you six brandies and sodas And set them all out in a row, a row And get you six jolly good fellows To drink to this buffer below
And then in the calm of the twilight When the soft winds are whispering low, so low And the darkening shadows are falling Sometimes think of this buffer below
Come In The Morning Composer(s): Bob Mosley Performer(s): Moby Grape
Come in the morning When the sun is shining Bring me a dream With the sun beams climbing
Above my head, yeah To light another day for me
Stay with me now, tomorrow... Come what may Girl, come what may
Come in the morning When most people are sleeping Drifting in slumber While others are keepin'
A light burning brightly Come with me I'll show you the way Stay with me now, tomorrow...
I'm asking only Cause if you're lonely You gotta let me know Enjoy the wonders Of life and love Before you have to go Let me know
Come on, I need...
Stay with me now, tomorrow... Come what may, come what may... Come what may, come what may...
Come in the morning When the sun is shining Bring me a dream With the sun beams climbing
Above my head, yeah To light another day for me!
Stay with me now, tomorrow... Come what may Girl, come what may
You know I love you (Come what may) You know that I need you (Come what may) I don't want nobody else, baby (Come what may) I don't need nobody, nobody else, baby (Come what may) I just want your love (Come what may)
Rip It Out Composer(s): Ace Frehley; Larry Kelly; Sue Kelly Performer(s): Kiss; Ace Frehley; Scott Ian; Brian Tichy
Now I know, you've been cheatin' and lyin' all the time I didn't know you were gonna be so unkind I've been trying just to find out how we went wrong But I know that I can't trust you girl anymore
Chorus: Rip it out, take my heart, you wanted it from the start You got it now, so goodbye, so rip it out, watch me cry
It's so sad, I'm not glad to be with you today And it's bad, 'cos I can't stop the pain day by day If I knew how to stop you, I don't think I'd try I think it's better if we just part and don't say goodbye
