Cool Night Composer(s): Paul Davis Performer(s): Paul Davis
I sometimes wonder why All the flowers have to die I dream about you And now -- Summer's come and gone And the nights they seem so long Come on over tonight Come on over
It's gonna be a cool night Just let me hold you by the firelight If it don't feel right you can go
Oh-- when the cool night brings back memories Of a good life when this love was not so old
Oh-- I won't talk about the past How love's supposed to last forever And you -- Don't have to take a stand Lay out any plans Come on over tonight Come on over
It's gonna be a cool night Just let me hold you by the firelight If it don't feel right you can go
It's gonna be a cool night Just let me hold you by the firelight If it don't feel right you can go ...
When Britain first, at Heaven's command Arose from out the azure main Arose from, arose from out the azure main This was the charter, the charter of the Land And Guardian Angels sang this strain
Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves! Britons never, ever, ever shall be slaves Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves! Britons never, ever, ever shall be slaves
The nations, not so blest as thee Must, in their turns, to tyrants fall Must, in their turns, to tyrants fall While thou shalt flourish great and free The dread and envy of them all
Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves! Britons never, ever, ever shall be slaves Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves! Britons never, ever, ever shall be slaves
Still more majestic shalt thou rise More dreadful from each foreign stroke More dreadful, dreadful from each foreign stroke As the loud blast, the blast that tears the skies Serves but to root the native oak
Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves! Britons never, ever, ever shall be slaves Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves! Britons never, ever, ever shall be slaves
Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame All their attempts to bend thee down All their, all their attempts to bend thee down Will but arouse; arouse thy gen'rous flame But work their woe and their renown
Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves! Britons never, ever, ever shall be slaves Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves! Britons never, ever, ever shall be slaves
The Muses still with Freedom found Shall to thy happy coast repair Shall to thy happy, happy coast repair Blest isle with matchless, with matchless beauty crown'd And manly hearts to guard the fair
Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves! Britons never, ever, ever shall be slaves Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves! Britons never, ever, ever shall be slaves
There'll Come A Time Composer(s): Eugene Record - Floyd Smith First release by: Betty Everett and multiple other artists
There'll come a time in every girl's life She'll have to cry There'll come a time when the heart Won't take no more She'll have to cry, cry, cry, cry Baby sometimes you see the rich have to cry The poor have to cry You got to cry And I got to cry sometimes I'll say it again Rich have to cry The poor have to cry You got to cry I got to cry, oh yeah

Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla Composer(s): Bob Dorough; Kathy Mandry Performer(s): Jack Sheldon
Now I have a friend named Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla and I could say that Rufus found a kangaroo That followed Rufus home And now tbat kangaroo belongs To Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla ... Whew! I could say that, but I don't have to Because I have pronouns I can say, He found a kangaroo that followed him home And now it is his You see, he, him and his are pronouns Replacing the noun Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla A very proper noun And it is a pronoun replacing the noun kangaroo Now comma Now Rufus has a sister named Rafaella Gabriela Sarsaparilla If she found a kangaroo I'd say to you She found a kangaroo that followed her home and now it is hers but I can't say that Because she found an aardvark That fell in love with her and they're so happy
And my name is Albert Andreas Armadillo (No relation to the Sarsaparillas) Because of pronouns I can say I wish she would find a rhinoceros for me And we'd be happy You see, a pronoun was made to take the place of a noun Because saying all those nouns over and over Can really wear you down
Now I could tell you Rafaella Gabriela and Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla and Albert Andreas Armadillo found an aardvark, a kangaroo and a rhinoceros And now that aardvark and that kangaroo and that rhinoceros belong respectively to Rafaella Gabriela Sarsaparilla and Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla and Albert Andreas Armadillo Whew! Because of pronouns I can say in this way We found them and they found us And now they are ours and we're so happy Thank you pronouns! A pronoun was made to take the place of a noun Because saying all those nouns over and over Can really wear you down
Sometimes when we take them all on the bus People really raise a fuss They start shouting out pronouns at us Like, "Who brought that rhinoceros on the bus?" And "What made that horrible noise?" And "Which one of them's getting off first?" Who what and which are special pronouns which can ask a question in the sense where you do not know the name of the noun
But I know I have mine and she has hers and he has his You have yours They love us and we love them What's ours is theirs, that's how it is with friends And pronouns, you are really friends 'Cause saying all those nouns over and over can really wear you down
There'll Be Time Composer(s): Michel Legrand - Alan Bergman - Marilyn Bergman
There's a time and place we've yet to know There's a sea we've yet to sail Though we saw the mountain long ago It's a peak we've yet to scale
There's another world we've yet to find It's a world we've yet to lose There's a winding road yet to find And another yet to choose
And there's a tender journey yet to take A sun that waits to rise There are promises we've yet to make Days we'll spend will never end in each others eyes
There will be time enough for everything Time for life, time for love Time for us, time for you And time for me

They say don't change the old for the new But I've found out this will never do When you grow old you don't last long You're here today and then tomorrow you're gone I loved a man (gal) for many years gone by I tho't his(her) love for me would never die He(she) made some changes that would never do From now on I'm goin' to make some changs too

They say the old time things are the best That may be very good for all the rest But I'm goin' to let the old things be 'Cause they are certainly not suited for me There was a time when I thought that way That's why I'm all alone here today Since ev'ry one of these days seeks something new From now on I'm goin' to seek some new things too
For there's a change in the weather There's a change in the sea So from now on there'll be a change in me Why, my walk will be be different, and my talk and my name Nothing about me gonna be the same I'm gonna change my way of livin', and that ain't no shock Why, I'm thinking of changin' the way I gotta set my clock Because nobody wants you when you're old and gray There's gonna be some changes made today There'll be some changes made

Rue Saint-Vincent Composer(s): Marc Ogéret; Aristide Bruant Performer(s): Yves Montand; and various other artists
Elle avait sous sa toque de martre sur la butte Montmartre un p'tit air innocent On l'appelait rose, elle était belle a' sentait bon la fleur nouvelle rue Saint-Vincent
Elle avait pas connu son père elle avait p'us d'mère et depuis 1900 a' d'meurait chez sa vieille aïeule Où qu'a' s'élevait comme ça, toute seule rue Saint-Vincent
A' travaillait déjà pour vivre et les soirs de givre dans l'froid noir et glaçant son p'tit fichu sur les épaules a' rentrait par la rue des Saules rue Saint-Vincent
Elle voyait dans les nuit gelées la nappe étoilée et la lune en croissant qui brillait, blanche et fatidique sur la p'tite croix d'la basilique rue Saint-Vincent
L'été, par les chauds crépuscules a rencontré Jules qu'était si caressant qu'a' restait la soirée entière avec lui près du vieux cimetière rue Saint-Vincent
Et je p'tit Jules était d'la tierce qui soutient la gerce aussi l'adolescent voyant qu'elle marchait pantre d'un coup d'surin lui troua l'ventre rue Saint-Vincent
Quand ils l'ont couché sur la planche elle était toute blanche même qu'en l'ensevelissant les croque-morts disaient qu'la pauv' gosse était crevé l'soir de sa noce rue Saint-Vincent
Elle avait une belle toque de martre sur la butte Montmartre un p'tit air innocent On l'appelait rose, elle était belle a' sentait bon la fleur nouvelle rue Saint-Vincent
There'll Be No Teardrops Tonight Composer(s): Hank Williams First recording/First release by: Hank Williams - 1948/1949 Covered by multiple other artists
I'll pretend I'm free from sorrow Make believe that wrong is right Your wedding day will be tomorrow But there'll be no teardrops tonight
Ooh, why, oh, why should you desert me Are you doing this for spite If you only want to hurt me Then there'll be no teardrops tonight
I believe that you still love me When you wear your vail of white But you think that you're above me But there'll be no teardrops tonight
Oh shame, oh shame for what you're doing Other arms will hold you tight You don't care whose life you're ruining But there'll be no teardrops tonight
Cool For Cats Composer(s): Chris Difford - Glenn Tilbrook Performer(s): Squeeze
The Indians send signals from the rocks above the pass The cowboys take position in the bushes and the grass The squaw is with the corporal she is tied against the tree She doesn't mind the language, it's the beating she don't need She lets loose all the horses when the corporal is asleep And he wakes to find the fires dead and arrows in his hat And Davy Crockett rides around and says it's cool for cats It's cool for cats
The Sweeny's doing ninety 'cause they've got the word to go To get a gang of villains in a shed up at Heathrow They're counting out the fivers when the handcuffs lock again In and out of Wandsworth with the numbers on their names It's funny how their Missus' always looks the bleeding same And meanwhile at the station there's a couple of likely lads Who swear like how's your father and they're very cool for cats They're cool for cats
To change the mood a little I've been posing down the pub I'm seeing my reflection, I'm looking slightly rough I fancy this, I fancy that, I wanna be so flash I give a little muscle and I spend a little cash But all I get is bitter and a nasty little rash And by the time I'm sober I've forgotten what I've had And everybody tells me that it's cool to be a cat Cool for cats
Shape up at the disco when I think I've got a pull I ask her lots of questions as she hangs on to the wall I kiss her for the first time and then I take her home I'm invited in for coffee and I give the dog a bone She likes to go to discos but she's never on her own I said I'll see you later and I give her some old chat But it's not like that on the TV when it's cool for cats It's cool for cats

There'll Always Be An England Composer(s): Ross Parker - Hughie Charles Performer(s): Vera Lynn and multiple other artists
I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen May this fair dear land we love so well In dignity and freedom dwell Though worlds may change and go awry While there is still one voice to cry...
There'll always be an England While there's a country lane Wherever there's a cottage small Beside a field of grain There'll always be an England While there's a busy street Wherever there's a turning wheel A million marching feet
Red, white and blue What does it mean to you? Surely you're proud, shout it aloud "Britons, awake!" The empire too, we can depend on you Freedom remains These are the chains Nothing can break
There'll always be an England And England shall be free If England means as much to you As England means to me

Well I was born in the sign of water And it's there that I feel my best The albatross and the whales they are my brothers It's kind of a special feeling When you're out on the sea alone Staring at the full moon, like a lover Time for a cool change I know that it's time for a cool change Now that my life is so prearranged I know that it's time for a cool change
I've never been romantic And sometimes I don't care I know it may sound selfish But let me breathe the air Let me breathe the air...
