There's Good Blues Tonight
Composer(s): Edna Osser - Abe Osser
Performer(s): Tommy Dorsey
and multiple other artists



Ah yes, there's good blues tonight
There's good blues tonight
You can't help but dance
'Cause the music is really right

Ah yes, there's good blues tonight
There's groovy blues tonight
A chance to romance
When the dancin' is liltin' light

Each Chuck can cheek to cheek it with his chick
No date that's late can rate the latest licks

Ah yes, there's good blues tonight
There's true blues tonight
So hold your baby tight
'Cause there's sure good blues tonight

I'm a-tellin' you, Jack, great days are back
Take the word of a bird with an ear
Gather round the stand, listen to the band
It's the blues you've been waitin' to hear

Corned Beef And Cabbage
Composer(s): Ralph Rainger - Leo Robin
Performer(s): Helen Mack & Edward Everett Horton



I'm simply wild about you
I couldn't do without you
Corned beef and cabbage, I love you

You always set me raving
You satisfy that craving
Corned beef and cabbage, I love you

If I could have you every day
My life would have more spice
And even if I'd have to pay
I'd gladly pay the price
I see you and surrender
Oh, won't you please be tender
Corned beef and cabbage, I love you!

I'm always happy when you
Are featured on the menu
Corned beef and cabbage, I love you

Although you're so plebeian
You're fit for any queen
Corned beef and cabbage, I love you

You fill me with a strange desire
That haunts me all night through
You seem to set my heart on fire
You give me heartburn, too
Why don't you try a load
O' bicarbonate of soda
Corned beef and cabbage, I love you!

Runnin' Me Crazy
Composer(s): Blind Willie McTell
Performer(s): Blind Willie McTell



Said I'm almost crazy, and I'm all here by myself
Said I'm almost crazy, I'm all here by myself
Ah these wimmen 'bout to run me crazy
Lord she's got someone else

Lord she's 'bout to run me crazy, these reckless wimmen worryin' me
Said she's 'bout to run me crazy, reckless wimmen worryin' me
She don't have to treat me so bad, 'cause she lives in Tennessee

Lord you'll either run me crazy woman, or either make me lose my mind
Say you'll either run me crazy, or make me lose my mind
Cause you keep me worryin', troubled all the time

Lord these wimmens will run you crazy, they'll drive your heart in pain
Man wimmen will run you crazy, and drive your heart in pain
They'll spend all your money, turn around and run you insane

(Ah play it... Ah your woman sure did treat you bad boy...)

Well she spent all my money, and then she drove me outdoors
Lord she spent all my money, turn around and drove me outdoors
And I was almost crazy cause I had nowhere to go

If you get a reckless woman, man don't never let her break your rules
You run down on a reckless woman, man don't never let her break your rules
And when you know anything you'll be almost crazy with the blues

There's Gold In The Mountains
Composer(s): Bill Giant - Bernie Baum - Florence Kaye
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



There are lots of girls in the mountains
And they're worth their weight in gold
When they're in my arms with their lovin' charms
A treasure chest I hold

Well, there's gold in the mountains, love in the hills
I don't need no city women with diamonds and frills
There's gold in the mountains and oh, what scenery
The prettiest girls I ever did see

There's such beauty there in the mountains
You can feel your knees growin' weak
Every single boy feels the height of joy
When he climbs that mountain peak

Well, there's gold in the mountains, love in the hills
I don't need no city women with diamonds and frills
There's gold in the mountains and oh, what scenery
The prettiest girls I ever did see

I said there's gold in the mountains, love in the hills
I don't need no city women with diamonds and frills
There's gold in the mountains and oh, what scenery
The prettiest girls I ever did see, I ever did see, I ever did see

Corne D'aurochs
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
Performer(s): Georges Brassens



Il avait nom corne d'Aurochs, au gué, au gué
Tout l'mond' peut pas s'app'ler Durand, au gué, au gué

En le regardant avec un œil de poète
On aurait pu croire à son frontal de prophète
Qu'il avait les grand's eaux de Versailles dans la tête
Corne d'Aurochs

Mais que le bon dieu lui pardonne, au gué, au gué
C'étaient celles du robinet, au gué, au gué

On aurait pu croire en l'voyant penché sur l'onde
Qu'il se plongeait dans des méditations profondes
Sur l'aspect fugitif des choses de se monde
Corne d'Aurochs

C'étaient hélas pour s'assurer, au gué, au gué
Qu' le vent n'l'avait pas décoiffé, au gué, au gué

Il proclamait à son de trompe à tous les carrefours
"Il n'y a qu'les imbéciles qui sachent bien faire l'amour
La virtuosité c'est une affaire de balourds!"
Corne d'Aurochs

Il potassait à la chandelle, au gué, au gué
Des traités de maintien sexuel, au gué, au gué
Et sur les femm's nues des musées, au gué, au gué
Faisait l'brouillon de ses baisers, au gué, au gué

Et bientôt petit à petit, au gué, au gué
On a tout su, tout su de lui, au gué, au gué

On a su qu'il était enfant de la Patrie
Qu'il était incapable de risquer sa vie
Pour cueillir un myosotis à une fille
Corne d'Aurochs

Qu'il avait un p'tit cousin, au gué, au gué
Haut placé chez les argousins, au gué, au gué
Et que les jours de pénurie, au gué, au gué
Il prenait ses repas chez lui, au gué, au gué

C'est même en revenant d'chez cet antipathique
Qu'il tomba victime d'une indigestion critique
Et refusa l'secours de la thérapeutique
Corne d'Aurochs

Parce que c'était un All'mand, au gué, au gué
Qu'on devait le médicament, au gué, au gué

Il rendit comme il put son âme machinale
Et sa vie n'ayant pas été originale
L'Etat lui fit des funérailles nationales
Corne d'Aurochs

Alors sa veuve en gémissant, au gué, au gué
Coucha avec son remplaçant, au gué, au gué

Runnin' From The Devil
Composer(s): Terry Turrell; Danny O'Keefe
Performer(s): Danny O'Keefe



I feel like Jack the Rabbit
In the shadow of the hawk
Got to keep on runnin'
Can't afford to walk
If I stand here like a statue
Waitin' all alone
You'll chisel my heart
Like it's made of stone

So I've got to keep on runnin'
Time to stand is through
Wish I knew who I'm runnin' from
And who
I'm runnin' to
Wish I knew

Sometimes life is heaven
Sometimes it's hell
Sometimes it's too damned
Confusin' to tell
I ain't got the answer
My life's like a riddle
And I seem to be stuck
Somewhere in the middle

So I've got to keep on runnin'
Time to stand is through
Wish I knew who I'm runnin' from
Or who
I'm runnin' to

On one end is the devil
On the other end is you
Wish I knew who I'm runnin' from
Or who
I'm runnin' to
Wish I knew
Wish I knew

I can't afford to lose this race
When there's so much at stake
I'm runnin' faster than my tears
With every step I take

This road I'm runnin'
Bound to take its toll
I'll pay with my heart
Or I'll pay with my soul

But I've got to keep on runnin'
Time to stand is through
Wish I knew who I'm runnin' from
Or who
I'm runnin' to

On one end is the devil
On the other end is you
Wish I knew who I'm runnin' from
Or who
I'm runnin' to
I wish I knew
Wish I knew

Runaway Child, Running Wild
Composer(s): Barrett Strong; Norman Whitfield
Performer(s): The Temptations;
and various other artists



You played hooky from school
And you can't go out to play, yeah
Mama said for the rest of the week
In your room you gotta stay, yeah
Now you feel like
The whole world's pickin on you
But deep down inside you know it ain't true
You've been punished cause your mother
Wants to raise you the right way, yeah
But you don't care
Cause you already made up your mind
You wanna run away, yeah
You're on your way
Run away child, running wild
Run away child, running wild
Better come back home
Better come back home
Where you belong
Where you belone

Roaming through the city
Going nowhere fast
You're on your own at last
Hey it's getting late, where will you sleep
Gettin kind-a hungry
You forgot to bring something to eat
Oh lost with no money, you start to cry
But remember you left home
Wanting to be grown
So dry your weepin eyes
Siren screamin down, neon light is flickin
You want your mama
Ah there's nothing for you
You're frightened and confused
I want my mama
But she's much too far away
She can't hear a word you say
You heard some frightening news on the radio
About little boys running away from home
And their parents don't see them no more
You wanna hitch a ride and go home
But your mama told you never trust a stranger
And you don't know which way to go

Streets are dark and deserted
Not a sound nor sign of life
How you long to hear your mother's voice
Cause you're lost and alone
But remember you make the choice
Run away child, running wild
Better go back home where you belong
Run away child, running wild
Better go back home where you belong
You're lost in this great big city
(Go back home where you belong)
Not one familiar face
Ain't it a pity
(Go back home where you belong)
Oh run away child, running wild
You better go back home where you belong
Mama, mama please come and see about me
But she's much too far away
She can't hear a word you say
I want my mama
You're frightened and confused
Which way will you choose

There's An Island
Composer(s): Meshel - Welch - Gilutin
Performer(s): Engelbert Humperdinck



In the pictures that I saw
It looked so pretty
But that's before I lived here
In the city
But there's money to be made
And girl, that's why we stayed
Now it won't be long
Until we're on our way

There's an island in the sun
Shines its light on every one
And the sky's painted blue
Instead of gray
There's an island where I know
We can find the room to grow
And that island's where I'm taking you some day

Girl, we have a dream
Let's not forsake it
Help me find the strength
And we can make it
To where the water's sweet as wine
And it's sunny all the time
And it won't be long until
It's yours and mine

There's an island in the sun
Shines its light on every one
And the sky's painted blue
Instead of gray
There's an island where I know
We can find the room to grow
And that island's where I'm taking you some day

We will be there, you and me there

On an island in the sun
Shines its light on every one
And the sky's painted blue
Instead of gray
There's an island where I know
We can find the room to grow
And that island's where I'm taking you some day

On an island in the sun
Shines its light on every one
And the sky's painted blue
Instead of gray
There's an island where I know
We can find the room to grow
And that island's where I'm taking you some day

Runnin' Down A Dream
Composer(s): Mike Campbell; Jeff Lynne; Tom Petty
Performer(s): Tom Petty



It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was drivin'
Trees flew by, me and Del were singin' little Runaway
I was flyin'

Chorus: 
Yeah runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream

I felt so good like anything was possible 
Hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last three days the rain was un-stoppable
It was always cold, no sunshine

Chorus

I rolled on; the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
There's something good waiting down this road
I'm pickin' up whatever is mine

Chorus

Get kicked out for coming home at dawn
Mom and Dad cursed the day you were born
Throw your clothes into a duffle bag
shoutin' as ya slam the door home is a drag

Who can I turn to and where can I stay?
I heard a place is open all night and all day
There's a place you can go where the cops don't know
You can act real wild they don't treat you like a child

Runaway boys

Your hair's all greasy and you feel like a slob
You're only fifteen and you can't get a job
Go into the luncheonette and shoot a few games
Losing all your quarters, man it's always the same

Steal a couple of bucks to buy a new toy
Slip into the alley with the

Runaway boys

Runnin' faster, faster all the time
You're under age and God knows, that's a crime!

Runaway boys

There's Always Tomorrow 
Performer(s): Jack Buchanan



There’s always tomorrow to bring us a smile
Maybe we should borrow that thought for a while
For then we’ll both remember that life is but a game
We’ll fan the dying ember and coax it into flame

Tomorrow we’ll borrow a thought from a song
To capture the rapture of days that are gone
For when we’re reunited we’ll have a bit to say
Tomorrow was yesterday

Tomorrow was yesterday

Running away
To get away
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
You're wearing out your shoes

Looh at you fooling you!

Making blues of day and night
Hee! Hee! Hee! Hee!
You're stretching out your dues

The shorter cut is quicker
But ... Ha! Ha! Time is here to stay! 
Look at you fooling you!

The deeper in debt
The harder you bet
Hee! Hee! Hee! Hee! 
Need more room to play! 
Look at you fooling you!

Another day
You're farther away
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
A longer trip back home!

There's A Village In A Valley
Composer(s): Mitchell Paris - Abner Silver
Performer(s): Sammy Kaye



There's a village in a valley
Down among the sleepy hills
Where we used to stroll along
And hear the song of whip-poor-wills
In that village in the valley
Once we parted in the rain
As we kissed, remember how we made a vow to meet again ?
Soon, my darling, the wedding bells will chime
From the chapel in apple blossom time

There's a village in a valley
There are roses 'round the door
Where the sky is blue above
We'll live and love forever more
