Cootamundra Wattle Composer(s): John Williamson Performer(s): John Williamson
Don't go lookin' through that old camphor box woman You know those old things only make you cry When you dream upon that little bunny rug It makes you think that life has passed you by There are days when you wish the world would stop woman But then you know some wounds would never heal But when I browse the early pages of the children It's then I know exactly how you feel
Hey it's July and the winter sun is shining And the Cootamundra wattle is my friend For all at once my childhood never left me 'Cause wattle blossoms bring it back again
It's Sunday and you should stop the worry woman Come out here and sit down in the sun Can't you hear the magpies in the distance? Don't you feel the new day has begun? Can't you hear the bees making honey woman In the spotted gums where the bellbirds ring? You might grow old and bitter 'cause you missed it You know some people never hear such things
Hey it's July and the winter sun is shining And the Cootamundra wattle is my friend For all at once my childhood never left me 'Cause wattle blossoms bring it back again
Don't buy the daily papers any more woman Read all about what's going on in hell They don't care to tell the world of kindness Good news never made a paper sell There's all the colours of the rainbow in the garden woman And symphonies of music in the sky Heaven's all around us if you're looking But how can you see it if you cry
Hey it's July and the winter sun is shining And the Cootamundra wattle is my friend For all at once my childhood never left me 'Cause wattle blossoms bring it back again
Rumors Are Flying Composer(s): Bennie Benjamin; George David Weiss Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters; and various other artists
Rumors are flying That you've got me sighing That I'm in a crazy kind of a daze A lazy sort of a haze When I go walking I hear people talking They say our affair is not just a passing phase
And they whisper 'bout the flowers You keep sending me by the dozen And they wonder 'bout the hours That you spend with me, it keeps them buzzin'
Rumors are flying And I'm not denying That people are sure I'm falling in love with you 'Cause for a change, darling All the rumors are true
And they whisper all about the flowers The many little flowers you keep sending me by the dozen And they wonder all about the hours That you spend with your baby, what do you do-do-do That keeps 'em buzzin' all the time, all the time
Rumors are flying And I'm not denying That people are sure I'm falling in love with you 'Cause for a change, darling All the rumors are true
There's A Girl In Havana Composer(s): Irving Berlin - E. Ray Goetz - A. Baldwin Sloan
I'm in love with you, but I'll admit, I've told the same tale o'er To a lot of girls, but I'll admit, 'twas never meant before Like every boy, I've loved a few, 'tis true But never with a love I feel for you So I think for future happiness My past I should confess
If a fellow says he loves you, and he's never said the same To another girl, if you believe him, you're the one to blame When love is true each thought you would confide When love is true there's naught that you could hide So to prove my love is not a-miss Is why I tell you this
There's a girl in Havana There's a girl in Savannah I've wooed a few sweet girlies who I promised to be true to But then I never knew, dear That I'd ever meet you, dear So let's forget the girls I met Before I met you
Cooper's Lament Composer(s): Arlo Guthrie Performer(s): Arlo Guthrie
Hey brothers, hear me call It ain't that I had to fall Wasn't no one's fault last night When I looked up and felt the light
Here's hoping you'll understand I want to fell like a natural man Get up early in the morning to do what I can You can't help no one with money If you can't with your hands
And you got to be there brothers, yes you do If the world is turning under you Ain't no good to sit around And bring it up or down You got to be there brothers, yes you do
Hey brothers, now and then There's something that oughta move you More than a pen You don't need no school or knowledge You've got something else to lend And all the people in the world Can make it better again
And it ain't easy, yes I know It's a hard and rugged road Don't be swindled, don't be fooled Just be honest and stay cool
'Cause you got to be there brothers, yes you do If the world is turning under you Ain't no good to sit around And bring it up or down You got to be there brothers, yes you do
From Coney Island to The Sunset Strip Somebody's gonna make a happy trip Tonight, while the moon is bright
He's gonna have a bag of crazy toys To give the groanies of the boys and girls So dig, Santa comes on big
He'll come a callin' when the snows the most When all you cats are sleepin' warm as toast And you gonna flip when Old Saint Nick Takes a lick on the peppernint stick
He'll come a flyin' from a higher place And fill the stocking by the fire place So you'll, have a yule that's cool
Yeah, from Coney Island to The Sunset Strip Somebody's gonna make a happy trip Tonight, while the moon is bright
He's gonna have a bag of crazy toys To give the groanies of the boys and girls So dig, Santa comes on big
He'll come a callin' when the snows the most When all you cats are sleepin' warm as toast And you gonna flip when the Old Saint Nick Takes a lick on the peppermint stick
He'll come a flyin' from a higher place And fill the stocking by the fire place So you'll, have a yule that's cool
There's A Fly On My Music Composer(s): Lew Brown - Sammy Fain - Ralph Freed Performer(s): Spike Jones & his City Slickers
Larry Keating: Del, old boy, what's the matter? Well listen, you know, I gave you a marvellous introduction I built you up as a virtuoso This is really very embarrassing, Del
Del Porter: Pardon me, Mr. Keating For playing' away off key I've sounded sour for over an hour But don't put the blame on me
`Cos, there's a fly on my music Looks just like a note He's in my way an' I can't play The song the feller wrote
Cool Water Composer(s): Bob Nolan Performer(s): Dude Martin - 1936 Covered by multiple other artists
All day I've faced the barren waste Without the taste of water, cool water Old Dan and I with throats burned dry And souls that cry for water, cool, clear water
Keep a-movin', Dan, don't you listen to him, Dan He's a devil not a man And he spreads the burning sand with water Dan can you see that big green tree Where the water's runnin' free And it's waiting there for you and me
The nights are cool and I'm a fool Each star's a pool of water, cool water But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn And carry on to water, cool, clear, water
The shadows sway and seem to say Tonight we pray for water, cool, water And way up there He'll hear our prayer And show us where there's water, cool, clear, water
Dan's feet are sore he's yearning for Just one thing more than water, cool, water Like me I guess he'd like to rest Where there's no quest for water, cool, clear, water
Rum Tum Tum Composer(s): Lionel Bart Performer(s): Jonathan Pryce

Rum-tum-tum Rum-tum-tum Pom-pom-pom Pom-pom-pom Skiddle-eye-tye Tee-rye-tye-tye Tee-ruppa-tuppa-ruppa-tum-tum You've got to pick a pocket or two! You've got to pick a pocket or two!

There's a feller waitin' in Ploughkeepsie And he's just as sweet as sweet can be He hasn't even been tipsy Since I left him and took to the sea There's another waitin' in Pomona With the cutest dimple in his chin And there's a guy in Daytona Who just waits for my ship to come in I miss `em, honour bright I write `em every night But if you held my hand I suppose they would all understand Oh, you mustn't think I'm just a gypsy But I really ought to set you right There's a feller waitin' in Ploughkeepsie But I'm strictly on my own tonight
(Bing) There's a wave who's waitin' in Biloxi Says she's gonna marry me or bust We're bein' married by proxy When I find me a wolf I can trust There's a spar who's waiting in Waukegan Who is really different from the rest I think her last name is Reagan That's the name that's tattooed on my chest A whack in Hackensack A walk from Pontiac I got `em here and there What the heck, chicks are chicks anywhere Some of them are kinda bobby-soxsy But it might be quite a lengthy fight There's a wave who's waitin in Biloxi But I'm strictly on my own tonight
(All) There's a sweetheart in Ploughkeepsie
(A.S.) Just as sweet as sweet can be, you see
(All) He hasn't even been tipsy Since I left him and took to the sea Oh, you mustn't think we're gypsies
(A.S.) But we really ought to set you right
(Bing) Well tell it tonight
(All) There's a feller and a girl witin' in Ploughkeepsie

There's a coach comin' in! There's a coach comin' in! Comin in! Comin in! Comin in! Comin in! Comin in!
There's a coach comin' in If you listen you can hear A clip, up and over the hill And the sound that you hear Is as good to your ear As the call of a wild whippoorwill
There's a coach comin' in You can feel it gettin' near All at once, and it bursts into veiw And it looks to your eye Like it fell from the sky Like a coach full of dreams come true
For it's bringin' me eyes that are moonlight And it's carryin' lips that are wine (kiss sound) And it's comin' with arms that are pillows And this evening it all will be mine
There's a coach comin' in Can you smell it like a steer? Yet the soap tub remains far away From the socks from your feet From the socks from your feet Rake your hair till it's neat Rake your hair till it's neat There's a coach comin' in There's a coach comin' in today!
There's a coach comin' in Hurry! Hurry! Do ya hear? With a cargo of joy from Paree Drop the tables and chairs Get them beds up the stairs And be sure every lock has a key
For it's coming with girls who buy perfume Who wear powder and rouge from Paree Who will have to go somewhere to get them And that somewhere to go, will be me
There's a coach comin' in And it's flyin' like a deer Thank the Lord, there's relief on the way Packed with all of your hearts Packed with all of your hearts More than half dozen tarts More than half dozen tarts There's a coach comin' in There's a coach comin in today!
There's a coach comin' in If you listen you can hear it A clip, up and over the hill And the sound that you hear Is as good As the call of the wild whippoorwill
For it's bringin' me eyes that are moonlight And it's carryin' lips that are wine It's comin' with arms that are pillows And this evening it all will be mine
There's a coach comin' in If you listen you can hear it A clip, up and over the hill And the sound that you hear Is as good to your ear As the call of the wild whippoorwill
There's a coach comin' in You can feel it gettin' near All at once, and it bursts into veiw And it looks to your eye Like it fell from the sky Like a coach full of dreams come true
For it's bringin' me eyes that are moonlight And it's carryin' lips that are wine And it's comin' with arms that are pillows And this evening it all will be mine
There's a coach comin' in Now it's flyin' in the clear And the sun almost closes the day Now there ain't pots of gold Now they're all livin' gold There's a coach comin' in There's a coach comin' in And it's here!
Cool The Engines Composer(s): Brad Delp; Tom Scholz; Fran Sheehan Performer(s): Boston
Now I like takin' off Don't like burnin' out Every time you turn it on Makes me want to shout We keep getting hotter Movin' way too fast If we don't slow this fire down We're not gonna last
Cool the engines Red line's gettin' near Cool the engines Better take it out of gear
I'm no fool I'm gonna keep it cool and take it day by day We won't know where we might go 'Till we take it all the way
Take me for a ride Take me all the way Take me where I've never been Someplace I can stay Don't get yourself too hot Don't get yourself too high If we don't take it easy now We can kiss it all goodbye
Cool the engines Slow this rocket down Cool the engines Why don't ya take a look around
I'm no fool, gonna keep it cool Take it day by day We won't know where we might go 'Till we take it all the way
Cool the engines Cool the engines Goin' over the line Goin' off the dial Runnin' out of time And it's gettin' wild
Got flashin' lights Goin' 'round and 'round Until we get it right Better cool it down Better cool it down
Cool the engines
And now we're on our way No need to hurry just to get from day to day And I, oooh, I know We don't have to run that hard to get where we can go
There's A Cabin In The Pines Composer(s): Billy Hill Performer(s): Ray Noble & His Orch. and multiple other artists
Theres a cabin in the pines, hidden in the wild wood Wrapped in honeysuckle vines Where a mellow moon is always shining Shining on my cabin in the pines
Theres a sweetheart in the pines writing me a letter I can read between the lines I can see she longs for my returning To my little cabin in the pines
Whispering breeze, whisper to my love Tell her Ill come back some day Say that Im blue, broken hearted too Sorry that I went away
Theres a cabin in the pines meant to be a love nest Down among the Carolines Is it any wonder Im so lonely Longing for my cabin in the pines
Cool Papa Cool Composer(s): Francis Cabrel Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Cool papa cool C'est pas parce que ton rêve s'écroule Qu'il faut que tu tires dans la foule autour de toi Cool papa cool On n'est pas fait du même moule Toi, t'es rocher, moi pierre qui roule On ne choisit pas Ta fortune éclate Tes prêtres se battent Juste en bas de chez toi Ta fille se shoote Ton fils fait la route Et ta maîtresse reçoit Y a tes héros qui sautent Y a des mendiants qui votent Y a ta femme qui boit Y a plus de cathédrales Y a des stars en sandales Et personne les croît
Cool papa cool C'est pas parce que ton rêve s'écroule Qu'il faut que tu tires dans la foule autour de toi Cool papa cool On n'est pas fait du même moule Toi, t'es rocher, moi pierre qui roule On ne choisit pas Tous les traîtres t'embrassent Ton pavillon de chasse Est plein de juges hors la loi Y a les huissiers qui sonnent Y a dieu au téléphone T'as du sang sur les doigts Le temps te bouscule Ton image brûle Mais ne t'en fais pas Faut que tu comprennes Que dans dix ans à peine C'est peut-être à moi qu'on dira...
Cool papa cool C'est pas parce que ton rêve s'écroule Qu'il faut que tu tires dans la foule autour de toi Cool papa cool On n'est pas fait du même moule Toi, t'es rocher, moi pierre qui roule On ne choisit pas Cool papa cool C'est pas parce que ton rêve s'écroule Qu'il faut que tu tires dans la foule autour de toi Cool papa cool
