The Thousand Islands Song (Oh! Florence)
Composer(s): Bob Hilliard - Carl Sigman
Performer(s): Arthur Godfrey
and multiple other artists



(Row, row, row your boat, up the river St. Lawrence)
(Hollering, hollering, hollering, hollering) Hollering for Florence (Row your boat)
I left the one I love on one of the Thousand Islands (Row, row your boat)
But unfortunately I can't remember which one
So I row, row, row, row up the river St. Lawrence
And I'm hollerin' Florence, oh! where can you be?
(Where, oh, where, where, oh, where can she be?)

I wouldn't be so lost up here on the Thousand Islands (Row, row, your boat)
If we only had met down on the Isle of Capri
Now I just can't find the place you marked on the post card
Call the Navy and Coast Guard
Oh! where, where can you be?
(Where, oh, where, where, oh, where can she be?)

Mustn't take a nap, gotta watch the map
That was Island seven-ninety-three
Row from shore to shore, knock on every door
How many Thousand Islands can there be?

I better find you soon 'cause I see a thousand row boats (Row, row your boat)
And the fellers inside look mighty lonesome to me
When they row, row, row, row up the River St. Lawrence
They're all hollerin' "Florence, oh! where can you be?"
(Row, row, your boat up the River St. Lawrence
Hollering, hollering, hollering, hollering, hollering for Florence)

I better find you soon 'cause I see a thousand row boats (Row, row your boat)
And the fellers inside look mighty lonesome to me
When they row, row, row, row up the River St. Lawrence
They're all hollerin' "Florence, oh! where can you be?"
(Row, row, your boat) Hey Florence (Row, row your boat)
Hey Florence! Hey Florence! Hey Florence!
Hey Flowie! You're harder to find than Chloe!

I want to tell you that you've been real nice to me 
take a look and you can see I'm as happy as can be

The Thoughts Of Mary Jane
Composer(s): Nick Drake
First release by: Nick Drake - 1969



Who can know
The thoughts of Mary Jane
Why she flies
Or goes out in the rain
Where she's been
And who she's seen
In her journey to the stars

Who can know
The reasons for her smile
What are her dreams
When they've journeyed for a mile
The way she sings
And her brightly coloured rings
Make her the princess of the sky

Who can know
What happens in her mind
Did she come from a strange world
And leave her mind behind
Her long lost sighs
And her brightly coloured eyes
Tell her story to the wind

Who can know
The thoughts of Mary Jane
Why she flies
Or goes out in the rain
Where she's been
And who she's seen
In her journey to the stars

Little girl, you look so lonesome
I see you are feeling blue
Ain't no use in staying at home
I know what you should do

Come on over to my place
Hey girl, we're having a party
We'll be swinging, dancing and singing
Baby, come on over tonight

Now, you don't need the address
To find out where we'll be
'Cause you can't help hearing the music
Halfway down our street, so baby

Come on over to my place
Come on, we're having a party
We'll be swinging, dancing and singing
Baby, come on over tonight

When we get tired of dancing
And things start getting slow
That's the real best out of the evening
To turn the lights down low, so baby, baby

Come on over to my place
Hey girl, we're having a party
We'll be swinging, dancing and singing
Baby, come on over tonight

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Come on over to my place
Hey you, we're having a party
We'll be swinging, dancing and singing
Oh baby, won't you come on over tonight

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Come on over to my place
Hey you, we're having a party
We'll be swinging, dancing and singing
Oh baby, won't you come on over tonight

River Of Love
Composer(s): Otha Young; Juice Newton
Performer(s): Juice Newton



Listen to the story 'bout the man who tried
To drink from the river 'til the river ran dry
He drank so long and he drank so hard
The river ran dry and it broke his heart

River of love, river of love
Drink from the river, fly like a dove
The river runs long, the river runs free
But the river of love never runs to me

Many are the times that he called his love
Called her to his side 'til he had enough
Then came a wind to blow her away
Never did he drink from the river that day

River of love, river of love
Drink from the river, fly like a dove
The river runs long, the river runs free
But the river of love never runs to me

Pricked by a thorn and heart will bleed
Red as a rose for the world to see
Chained by time to the river side
A fool will drink 'till the river runs dry

River of love, river of love
Drink from the river, fly like a dove
The river runs long, the river runs free
But the river of love (never runs)
River of love, river of love
Drink from the river, fly like a dove
The river runs long, the river runs free
But the river of love never runs to me

The Third Man
Composer(s): Anton Karas - Walter Lord
First performance by: Anton Karas - 1949
Covered by multiple other artists



When a zither starts to play
You'll remember yesterday
In its haunting strain
Vienna lives again
Free and bright and gay
In your mind a sudden gleam
Of a half forgotten dream
Seems to glimmer when you hear The Third Man Theme

Once again there comes to mind
Someone that you left behind
Love that somehow didn't last
In that happy city of the past
Does she still recall the dream
That rapture so supreme
When first she heard the haunting Third Man Theme?

Carnivals and carousels and ferris wheels and parasols
The Danube nights, the dancing lights again will shine
The zither's sweet refrain
Keeps swirling in your brain
Like new May wine
Strauss waltzes, candle-glow
And the laughter of long ago
Fill the magic chords and make it seem like today

You never knew that you could be
Enchanted by a melody
The years will never drive it out
You don't know why
It's something you can't live without
You hear it in the twilight hush
And in the morning traffic rush
A song that's always new
In your heart a part of you
Oh, shines so brightly when you hear The Third Man Theme

When a zither starts to play
You'll remember yesterday
In its haunting strain
Vienna lives again
Free and bright and gay
In your mind a sudden gleam
Of a well remembered dream
Seems to glimmer when you hear The Third Man Theme

Once again there comes to mind
Someone that you left behind
Love that somehow didn't last
In that happy city of the past
Does she still recall the dream
That rapture so supreme
When first she heard the haunting Third Man Theme?

Carnivals and carousels and ferris wheels and parasols
The Danube nights, the dancing lights again will shine
The zither's sweet refrain
Keeps swirling in your brain
Like new May wine
Strauss waltzes, candle-glow
And the laughter of long ago
Fill the magic chords and make it seem like today

You never knew that you could be
Enchanted by a melody
The years will never drive it out
You don't know why
It's something you can't live without
You hear it in the twilight hush
And in the morning traffic rush
A song that's always new
In your heart a part of you
Oh, shines so brightly when you hear The Third Man Theme

Jeder Tag da schlaegt einmal die Stunde, dann lass die Probleme und denk nicht daran
Jeder Tag hat als schoenes den Abend und Glueck wartet neben an
Holl mich ab und dann gehen wir
Nochmal, ja, wir beide gehen in das Tanz Lokal
Da liegt was in der Luft so wunderbar
Bei dem ersten Blick ist alles klar
Und ich sage Dir, come on my boy die Musik ist schoen und die Liebe ist gerade hier
Come on my boy und tanz mit mir

Gibt es fuer uns Heute Sekt oder Kohle?
Daran liegt fuer uns nicht das Glueck der Welt
Ja, dass ist fuer uns einerlei
Hier ist der Beat der uns gefaellt
Du brauchst keinen feinen Frack, wie ein reicher Mann mit einem Cadillac
Du musst nur bei mir sein und treu mir sein
Dann kommt das Glueck von ganz allein
Und ich sag Dir, come on my boy die Musik ist schoen und die Liebe music ist gerade hier
Come on my boy und tanz mit mir
Yeah! Yeah!

River Of Dreams
Composer(s): Glenn Frey; Jack Tempchin
Performer(s): Glenn Frey



On a dark December morning
When the sun refused to shine
Spent another sleepless night
Got so much on my mind
Think I finally know what's wrong
I think I've gotta leave this place behind
So I said wake up, Linda,
I've had a dream
I dreamed we moved away from here
To a place I'd never seen
Where the nights were long and cold
And the air was fresh and clean.
And there we were standing
Underneath the western sky
Beside a home we built ourselves
Way up in the mountains high
And we lived happy there, just you and I
On a river of dreams
There's no need to worry now
Cause I've got a plan
We don't need this modern world
I'm not a modern man
We're gonna get ourselves off these city streets
We're gonna get back on the land
There's a whole lot of people out there
Feel just like you and me
They'd love to pack their leavin' trucks
And say goodbye to all their misery
What'd ya say we pack up that Camaro, honey
And chase the sun until we're free
And if I could I'd lift you up on angel wings
We'd fly away and never worry about a thing
We'd know the joy and riches a simple life can bring
On a river of dreams, on a river of dreams
So get your things together now
I'll be getting mine
I've finally got the feeling girl
The sun is gonna shine
You know people don't run out of dreams
People just run out of time
Let's find that place out there
Underneath the western sky
We'll build a home ourselves
Way up in the mountains high
We'll live happy there 'til the day we die
On a river of dreams
And we'll have stars to wish on every single night
We'll build a fire and make love by candlelight
We'll do our moondance 'til we get it right
On a river of dreams, on a river of dreams
I can see us standing by the river
Holding hands beside the river

The Thing-Ummy-Bob (That's Gonna Win The War)
Composer(s): David Heneker - Gordon Thompson
Performer(s): Arthur Askey & Gracie Fields



You've heard of Florence Nightingale, Grace Darling and the rest
You've all seen Greta Garbo and her busom friend, Mae West
But there's a little lady, I want you all to meet
She's working on munitions and she lives just down the street

She can't pretend to be, a great celebrity
But still... she's most important in her way
The job she has to do, may not seem like much to you
But all the same, I'm very proud to say...

She's the girl that makes the thing that drills the hole
that holds the spring that drives the rod that turns the knob
that works the thing-ummy-bob
She's the girl that makes the thing that holds the oil
that oils the ring that takes the shank that moves the crank
that works the thing-ummy-bob

It's a ticklish sort of job making a thing for a thing-ummy-bob
Especially when you don't know what it's for
But it's the girl that makes the thing that drills the hole
that holds the spring that works the thing-ummy-bob
that makes the engines roar
And it's the girl that makes the thing that holds the oil
that oils the ring that works the thing-ummy-bob
that's going to win the war

She's not what you would call, a heroine, at all
I don't suppose you'll even know her name
And though she'll never boast, of her important post
She strikes a blow for Britain just the same

She's the girl that makes the thing that drills the hole
that holds the spring that drives the rod that turns the knob
that works the thing-ummy-bob
She's the girl that makes the thing that holds the oil
that oils the ring that takes the shank that moves the crank
that works the thing-ummy-bob

It's a ticklish sort of job making a thing for a thing-ummy-bob
Especially when you don't know what it's for
But it's the girl that makes the thing that drills the hole
that holds the spring that works the thing-ummy-bob
that makes the engines roar
And it's the girl that makes the thing that holds the oil
that oils the ring that works the thing-ummy-bob
that's going to win the war

River Man
Composer(s): Nick Drake
Performer(s): Nick Drake;
and various other artists



Betty came by on her way
Said she had a word to say
About things today
And fallen leaves

Said she hadn't heard the news
Hadn't had the time to choose
A way to lose
But she believes

Going to see the river man
Going to tell him all I can
About the plan
For lilac time

If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows
And all night shows
In summertime

Betty said she prayed today
For the sky to blow away
Or maybe stay
She wasn't sure

For when she thought of summer rain
Calling for her mind again
She lost the pain
And stayed for more

Going to see the river man
Going to tell him all I can
About the ban
On feeling free

If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows
I don't suppose
It's meant for me

Oh, how they come and go
Oh, how they come and go

The Things We Do For Love
Composer(s): Eric Stewart- Graham Gouldman
First release by: 10cc - 1977



Too many broken hearts have fallen down the river
Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea
You lay your bets and then you pay the price
The things we do for love
(the things we do for love)

Communication is the problem to the answer
You’ve got her number and your hand is on the phone
The weather’s turned and all the lines our down
The things we do for love
(the things we do for love)

Like walking in the rain and snow
When there’s nowhere to go
And you’re feeling like a part of you is dying
And you’re looking for the answer in her eyes
You think you wanna break up
Then she says she wants to make up

Ooh, you make me love you
Ooh, you’ve got a way
Ooh, you’ve had me crawling up the wall

Like walking in the rain and snow
When there’s nowhere to go
And you’re feeling like a part of you is dying
And you’re looking for the answer in her eyes
You think you wanna break up
Then she says she wants to make up

Ooh, you make me love you
Ooh, you’ve got a way
Ooh, you’ve had me crawling up the wall

A compromise would surely help the situation
Agree to disagree, but disagree to part
Well after all it’s just a compromise
For the things we do for love
(the things we do for love)
the things we do for love
(the things we do for love)
the things we do for love
(the things we do for love)...

Originally performed by: Robert Johnson
Covered by various other artists



Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm

You better come on in my kitchen
It's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
When a woman gets in trouble, everybody throws her down
Lookin' for yo' good friend, none can be found
You better come on in my kitchen
It's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
Nnn, the woman I love, took from my best friend
Some joker got lucky, stole her back again
She better come on in my kitchen
Baby, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
Mama, can't you hear that wind howl?
Oh how the wind do howl!
You better come on in my kitchen
Mmm baby, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
Nnn, the woman that I love, I crave to see
She's up the country, won't write to me
Then, you better come on in my kitchen
Goin' to be rainin' outdoors
I went to the mountain, far as my eyes could see
Some other man got my woman, lonesome blues got me
But she better come on in my kitchen
'Cause it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
My mama dead, papa well's to be
Ain't got nobody to love and care for me
She better come on in my kitchen
'Cause it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors

River Lady
Composer(s): Greg Adams
Performer(s): Roger Whittaker



The day the river freezes is the day it won't seem fair
'Cos they'll come to get the river lady
And I don't think they'll care

I know they'll scrape her paint off
In their same old foolish ways

Now the people see the river
But the old ship's gone away
Water turns cold and gets to freezing
Before you even know it the old girl's easing
Away from her berth round by the point and out of our view
Off in the mist her engines pounding'
Back on the banks that old horn's sounding
A little good-bye
a little I'll do what I must do
A little good-bye
a little I'll do what I must do

I know I will remember when I cannot hear that horn
That would roll up by the mountains
As she took us through the storm
I know they've got to take her
But I can't say I approve
'Cos she's won so many battles
That I hate to see her lose

Water turns cold and gets to freezing

The Things We Did Last Summer
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Jule Styne
First recording by: Frank Sinatra - 1946
Covered by multiple other artists



The boat rides we would take, the moonlight on the lake
The way we danced and hummed our fav'rite song
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long

The midway and the fun, the kewpie dolls we won
The bell I rang to prove that I was strong
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long

The early morning hike, the rented tandem bike
The lunches that we used to pack
We never could explain that sudden summer rain
The looks we got when we got back

The leaves began to fade like promises we made
How could a love that seemed so right go wrong?
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long
 
I've tried so to forget, at times I do, and yet
The mem'ry of you lingers like our song
The things we did last summer, I'll remember all winter long

Let me come on in, come on in, come on in 

I want you the whole summer 
Ask a friend for your phone number 
But I was too scared to phone 
That's why I waited so very long, yeah 

You put walls around your heart; let me come on in, girl 
I love you from the start; can I come on in, girl? 
Oh oh my love is a life saver; in my soul I know you are able 
To know what I'm tryin' to say; show me the easy way 
I wanna love you every day; let me come on 
Come on in, come on in, let me come on in, come on in, oh 
Let me come on in, let me, baby, come on in 
I wanna come into your heart, just a lonely boy 
It's been a long time ...

Tango D'amor
Performer(s): Vicky Leandros



Der letzte Abend die letzten schönen Stunden
Der letzte Tango für uns zwei
Nimm mich in deine Arme laß mich vergessen
Wie weh der Abschied tut
Sag mir wir seh'n uns wieder halt mich ganz fest
Sonst verlier ich den Mut

Komm tanz mit mir unsern Tango d'amor
Ich bin verliebt wie noch niemals zuvor
Schön war für mich jede Stunde mit dir
Komm tanz noch einmal mit mir

Mit diesem Tango hat alles angefangen
Und nun hört alles damit auf
Aber ich will nicht weinen den wenn
Das Schicksal es ehrlich, es ehrlich mit uns meint
Weiß ich bald kommt die Stunde
Wo dieses Lied uns für immer vereint

Komm tanz mit mir unsern Tango d'amor
Ich bin verliebt wie noch niemals zuvor
Schön war für mich jede Stunde mit dir
Komm tanz noch einmal mit mir

Langsam verlöscht nun der Lichterglanz
Und das Bandoneon spielt uns den Abschiedstanz

Komm tanz mit mir unsern Tango d'amor
Ich bin verliebt wie noch niemals zuvor
Schön war für mich jede Stunde mit dir
Komm tanz noch einmal mit mir
