Thirteen Tons Of Ice Cream Performer(s): Shel Silverstein
A ninety mile run In the Florida sun Can be a sticky situation With thirteen tons of ice cream bars And no refrigeration
Well, I was loaded and locked At the Tampa docks Miami was my destination With some coffee and an upper I'll be home in time for supper According to my calculation But those ice cream bars In my 'frigeration car Were too great a temptation So I pulled on over to the side of the road And had me an ice cream celebration
Then just outside of the Everglades I got a strange sensation What was drippin' down my nose
Soakin' my clothes Weren't no perspiration? 'Cuz I must've forgot And left the hatch unlocked Now I came to the realization I got thirteen tons of ice cream bars And no refrigeration 'Cuz a ninety-mile run in the Florida sun Can be a sticky situation With thirteen tons of ice cream bars And no refrigeration
There was pralines and cream droppin' into my lap And that's a source of irritation And that Chunky-Monkey fillin' up the cab That can disturb a fellah's concentration That Cherry Jubilee Right up to my knees Can make a truckin' man's ruination With thirteen tons of ice cream bars And no refrigeration
When I pull into Tampa you can damn well bet There'll be a big investigation And under cross examination I'll deny all of the allegations Then me and the boss we're gonna have One of them real short conversations Then he's gonna be advisin' me
To find a brand new occupation A ninety-mile run in the Florida sun Can be a sticky situation With thirteen tons of ice cream bars And no refrigeration
Well, I'm gonna tell him where he can Stick His whole screwed-up organization Then I'm gonna head right on down to the Union Hall And apply for arbitration Then get me some fancy legal representation And sue the whole God damn truckin' corporation And win a Big cash compensation And then take a seven-month vacation At some tropical location With some uh... female stimulation And do a little copulation Out in the vegetation And get a little inebriation goin' Ohhh... what a sweet sensation! Lemme see now... what flavor should I have... Hmm-Hmmm... they're all running together I believe this is a whole new kinda ice cream Heee-hee-heee...
well you can play that old-time music you can sing those country songs and all the children of the cities they have learned to play along from a downtown window busy corner skies are hidden and there ain't no trees but you can hear that music playing that sweet-tongued fiddle playing and it floats through the dusty air like a country breeze
well they leave the farms and they leave the small towns 'cause they heard that the cities pay but at night they go from the yards and the factories to join the crowds down main street way in smoky barrooms at crowded tables they down their beer and they talk about home they've come to hear that music playing that sweet-sad fiddle playing things that you never hear till you're on your own
so play for them some down home music yeah sing for them those country songs and all your children lost in the cities they can't help but sing along sing of prairie summers Ottawa river and Sunday mornings in a small Quebec town just try and leave it all behind you wherever you go it'll find you that sweet-sad country music like a lover, friend, or brother it's gonna follow you down
J'Ai La Guitare Qui Me Démange Composer(s): Yves Duteil Performer(s): Yves Duteil
J'ai la guitare qui me démange Alors je gratte un p'tit peu Ça me soulage et ça s'arrange Mais ça fait pas très sérieux Pardonnez-moi, c'est très étrange Ça me prend là où ça veut C'est la guitare qui me démange Alors je gratte un p'tit peu
J'aurais pu, c'est héréditaire Être officier d'Etat major Archevêque ou vétérinaire Clerc de notaire ou chercheur d'or Le hasard et la génétique En ont voulu tout autrement J'ai mis les doigts dans la musique Et c'est ainsi qu'à présent...
J'ai la guitare qui me démange Alors je gratte un p'tit peu Ça me soulage et ça s'arrange Mais ça fait pas très sérieux Dans l'industrie, l'électronique Le commerce et les assurances J'avais des dons pour la pratique Oui, mais côté références...
J'ai la guitare qui me démange Alors je gratte un p'tit peu Ça fait du bien dans les phalanges Mais ça fait pas très sérieux Y a rien à faire pour que ça change Faut se faire une raison J'ai la guitare qui me démange Alors j'écris des chansons
J'ai appris à lire, à écrire Et je compte sur mes dix doigts Pour composer de doux délires À partir de n'importe quoi Ne croyez pas que je m'amuse Que je cours après les honneurs Si je taquine un peu la muse C'est pas pour les droits d'auteur
J'ai la guitare qui me démange Alors je gratte un p'tit peu Ça me soulage et ça s'arrange Mais au bout d'une heure ou deux Quand je me prends pour un artiste Ça donne un résultat miteux Ça me rend profondément triste Et quand je suis malheureux...
J'ai la guitare qui me démange Alors je gratte un p'tit peu Ça me soulage et ça s'arrange Mais c'est un cercle vicieux Y a rien à faire pour que ça change Faut se faire à cette idée J'ai la guitare qui me démange Alors j'essaie de chanter
J'ai consulté un spécialiste Pour me guérir, mais sans succès Il m'a dit "Si le mal persiste Essayez de prendre un cachet" Avant même que je le comprenne J'étais déjà dev'nu chanteur Et c'est pour ça que sur la scène Entre les deux projecteurs...
J'ai la guitare qui me démange Alors je gratte un p'tit peu Ça me soulage et ça s'arrange Et si c'est pas très sérieux C'est la plus belle leçon d'musique Que j'ai reçue depuis toujours C'est la meilleure thérapeutique Quand j'ai des chagrins d'amour
J'ai la guitare qui me démange Alors je gratte un p'tit peu Ça me soulage et ça s'arrange Et quand je serai très vieux À ma mort, je veux qu'on m'installe Avec ma guitare à la main Si vous voyez ma pierre tombale Qui gigote à la Toussaint...
C'est la guitare qui me démange Alors je gratte un p'tit peu Dans les nuages avec les anges Et tout là-haut dans les cieux Pardonnez-moi si ça dérange Ça me prend là où ça veut C'est la guitare qui me démange Alors je gratte un p'tit peu Y a rien à faire pour que ça change Et si, dans un jour ou deux Y a la guitare qui vous démange Alors c'était contagieux
Thirteen Men Composer(s): Dickie Thompson Performer(s): Ann-Margret and multiple other artists
Last night I was dreaming Dreamed about the H-bomb Well, the bomb went off and I was caught I was the only girl on the ground
There were thirteen men and only one gal in town Thirteen men and only one gal in town And as funny as it may be The one and only gal in town was me Well, thirteen men and me the only gal around
I had two guys every morning Seeing that I was well fed And believe you me, one sweetened my tea While another one buttered my bread
Two guys gave me my money Two guys made me my clothes And another sweet thing, bought me a diamond ring About forty carats I suppose
Well, thirteen men and only one gal in town There were thirteen men and only one gal in town It was something I can't forget Because I think of those thirteen men yet Well, thirteen men and only one gal around
I had three guys dancing the mambo Three guys ballin' the jack And all the rest really did their best Boy, they sure were a lively pack
I thought I was in heaven And all of these angels were mine But I woke up and ended the dream 'Cause I had to get to work on time
Well, thirteen men and only one gal in town There were thirteen men and only one gal in town No, I can't tell you where I've been 'Cause I kind of think that someday I'll go back again To those thirteen men and me the only gal around Oh-oh, thirteen men and me the only gal around Thirteen men and...
Country Girl, City Man (Just Across The Line) Composer(s): Ted Daryll; Chip Taylor Performer(s): Billy Vera & Judy Clay
I was born in New York City I was born in Georgia Girl you're lookin kinda pretty Don't you think we oughta Get to know each other better Take the time to find out while we can Gotta be some soul between a country girl and a city man We could find, we could find it's groovy just to cross the line
City boy had your eggs and bacon You were raised on cornbread The rooster crowed while I was wakin Bout the time I was going to bed Bet we got a lot in common Take the time to find out while we can Gotta be some soul between a country girl and a city man We could find, we could find it's groovy just to cross the line
We could find, we could find it's groovy just to cross the line He was born in New York City She was born in Georgia Girl you're lookin fine Don't you think we oughta Get to know each other better Take the time to find out while we can Gotta be some soul between a country girl and a city man We could find, we could find it's groovy just to cross the line
That man's from New York City She's a girl from Georgia town We could find, we could find it's groovy just to cross the line
Aloquita de albarroba molidita en el motero se me sube a la cabeza como si fuera sombrero se me sube a la cabeza como si fuera sombrero
Ya tarde vidita mia ya tar vidita la luna carnaval viene al galopa y la chichita madura Yo te quisiera vidita pero tu dueño esta viendo echale un puñao e sueño que se divierta durmiendo echale un puñao e sueño que se divierta durmiendo
Anoche tuita la noche casi me mato de risa me soñe que me ponia calzon en agua me soñe que me ponia calzon en agua y camisa
Yo no se que mañas tengo que hoy mismo me dan pena me echo a dormir en mi cama y amanezco en cama ajena me echo a dormir en mi cama y amanezco en cama ajena
Ahora si que estoy de luto corbatita colorada porque se ha muerto mi suegra esa vieja condenada porque se ha muerto mi suegra esa vieja condenada

Dove andranno i nostri fiori chi mai può dire dove andranno i nostri fiori che mai lo sa
Una donna li rubò e al suo amore li donò qualcuno ascolterà e il mondo cambierà
Quella donna dove andò chi mai può dire quella donna dove andrà chi mai lo sa
Forse un giorno lei amò il ragazzo che baciò qualcuno ascolterà e il mondo cambierà
E il ragazzo dove andò chi mai può dire e il ragazzo dove andò chi mai lo sa
Alla guerra se ne andò sorridendo salutò qualcuno capirà ed il mondo cambierà
Quel soldato dove andò chi mai può dire quel ragazzo dove andò chi mai lo sa
Una pietra c'è laggiù c'è per chi non torna più qualcuno capirà ed il mondo cambierà
Dove andranno i nostri fiori chi mai può dire dove andranno i nostri fiori chi mai lo sa
un bambino li porto ad un uomo che non baciò e che non tornerà ma il mondo cambierà aaaaaaaaaaa
Country Comfort Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin First release by: Elton John - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
Soon the pines will be falling everywhere Village children fight each other for a share And the 6:09 goes roaring past the creek Deacon Lee prepares his sermon for next week
I saw grandma yesterday down at the store Well she's really going fine for eighty four Well she asked me if sometime I'd fix her barn Poor old girl she needs a hand to run the farm
And it's good old country comfort in my bones Just the sweetest sound my ears have ever known Just an old-fashioned feeling fully-grown Country comfort's in a truck that's going home
Down at the well they've got a new machine The foreman says it cuts man-power by fifteen Yeah but that ain't natural well so old Clay would say You see he's a horse-drawn man until his dying day
Now the old fat goose is flying cross the sticks The hedgehog's done in clay between the bricks And the rocking chair's creaking on the porch Across the valley moves the herdsman with his torch
J'Ai Gardé L'Accent Composer(s): James Bernard; G. Bonheur Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu
Oui, j'ai gardé l'accent
qu'on attrape en naissant du côté de Marseille C'est l'ail du potager, l'huile de l'olivier, le raisin de la treille C'est le micocoulier où jouent les écoliers Qu'une cigale égaye
Quand la mer de Pagnol en retenant ses vagues S'endort en rêvassant Et rêve d'un marin qui lui passe la bague La mer à notre accent!
Quand le vent de Mistral décoiffe les marchandes Jouant au Tout Puissant Et qu'il nous fait le ciel plus bleu que la lavande Le vent à notre accent!
Oui, j'ai gardé l'accent qu'on attrape en naissant du côté de Marseille C'est le mas paternel, aux murs couleur de miel, aux tomates vermeilles C'est la tuile du toit, comme un peu de patois que le soir ensoleille
Quand la nuit de Daudet aux moulins met des voiles Qui tournent en crissant Et que ça grouille au ciel des millions d'étoiles La mer à notre accent!
Quand l'été de Giono revient en transhumance Et que les estivants, imitent en riant Le parler de Provence Le monde à notre accent!
Oui, j'ai gardé l'accent qu'on attrape en naissant du côté de Marseille C'est l'accent du clocher, la Noël des bergers dans la nuit des merveilles C'est l'orgueil provençal, la gloire de Mistral
Thirteen Composer(s): Glenn Danzig First release by: Johnny Cash - 1994 Covered by multiple other artists
Bad-luck wind been blowing on my back I was born to bring trouble wherever I'm at With a number 13 tatooed on my neck That ink starts to itch Black gon' turn to red I was born in the soul of misery and I Never had me a name They just gave me a number When I was young
Got a long line of heartache I carry it well List of lives I've broken Reach from here to hell And a bad-luck wind been blowin' on my back Pray you don't look, and pray I don't look back I was born in the soul of misery and I Never had me a name They just gave me a number When I was young
Found me with a preacher man confessin' all I done Catch me with the devil playing 21 And a bad-luck wind been blowin' on my back I was born to Bring trouble wherever I'm at I was born in the soul of misery and I Never had me a name They just gave me a number When I was young
Country Bumpkin Composer(s): Don Wayne Performer(s): Cal Smith
He walked into the bar and parked his lanky frame upon a tall barstool And with a long soft Southern drawl said "I'll just have a glass of anything that's cool" A barroom girl with hard and knowing eyes slowly looked him up and down And she thought "I wonder how on earth That country bumpkin found his way to town"
She said "Hello, country bumpkin" "How's the frost out on the pumpkin?" "I've seen some sights but, man, you're somethin'" "Where'd ya come from, country bumpkin?"
It was just a short year later in a bed of joy-filled tears yet death-like pain Into this wondrous world of many wonders one more wonder came That same woman's face was wrapped up In a raptured look of love and tenderness As she marveled at the soft and warm and cuddly boy-child feeding at her breast
And she said "Hello, country bumpkin" "Fresh as frost out on the pumpkin" "I've seen some sights but, babe, you're somethin'" "Mamma loves her country bumpkin"
Forty years of hard work later in a simple, quiet and peaceful country place The heavy hand of time had not erased The raptured wonder from the woman's face She was lying on her deathbed knowing fully well her race was nearly run But she softly smiled and looked into the sad eyes of her husband and her son
And she said "So long, country bumpkin" "The frost is gone now from on the pumpkin" "I've seen some sights and life's been somethin'" "See you later, country bumpkin"
She said "So long, country bumpkin" "The frost is gone now from on the pumpkin"
Le vent du midi s'abat en rafales Sur la vallée noire où les arbres ploient Leurs bras désolés fument des gitanes J'ai froid Une fois de plus tous les droits de l'homme Sont foulés aux pieds sont jetés à bas Les maîtres sanglés dans leurs uniformes J'ai froid
Une fois de plus la grande injustice La force imbécile triomphe du droit Quand la liberté tombe sa pelisse J'ai froid Encore une fois les lettres anonymes La bêtise épaisse en guise de loi La salve éclatant au milieu de l'hymne J'ai froid
Si la bête immonde sort de sa tanière Nous retrouverons le chemin des bois Mets dans ma valise un gros pull-over J'ai froid Dans tes yeux soudain ivres de colère La révolte éclaire un grand feu de bois Quand fera-t-il donc le tour de la terre J'ai froid
Quand fera-t-il donc le tour de la terre J'ai froid
Third World Composer(s): Arthur Kent - Roy C. Bennett Performer(s): Johnny & Jonie Mosby
The fool's in my world, the blind in your world They always say we're different and try to keep us apart Let's build a third world, our own kind of third world A place where all that matters will be the love in our hearts
Let's build a third world, a beautiful third world A world where all that counts is love We'll build a third world, a beautiful third world A world where all that counts is love
We meet in secret and kiss in shadow Why must we go on hiding our love so no one can see I dream that someday we'll walk in the sunshine And when our new tomorrow comes back the way it will be
We'll build a third world, a beautiful third world A world where all that counts is love We'll build a third world, a beautiful third world A world where all that counts is love
Country Boy (You Got Your Feet In L.A.) Composer(s): Dennis Lambert - Brian Potter Performer(s): Glen Campbell
Livin' in the city Ain't never been my idea of gettin' it on But the job demands that you make new plans Before your big chance is gone
You get a house in the hills You're payin' everyone's bills And they tell you that you're gonna go far But in the back of my mind I hear it time after time "Is that who you really are?"
Country boy, you got your feet in L.A. But your mind's on Tennessee Lookin' back, I can remember the time When I sang my songs for free Country boy, you got your feet in L.A. Take a look at everything you own But now and then, my heart keeps goin' home
Talkin' on the telephone Settin' up another day of people to meet You've gotta do what's right You've gotta spend the night Stayin' in touch with the street When you're surrounded by friends They say the fun never ends But I guess I'll never figure it out 'Cause in the back of my mind I hear it time after time "Is this what it's all about?"
Country boy, you got your feet in L.A. But your mind's on Tennessee Lookin' back, I can remember the time When I sang my songs for free Country boy, you got your feet in L.A. Take a look at everything you own But now and then, my heart keeps goin' home
Country boy, you got your feet in L.A. But your mind's on Tennessee Lookin' back, I can remember the time When I sang my songs for free Country boy, you got your feet in L.A. Take a look at everything you own But now and then, my heart keeps goin' home ...

Sittin' in a tiny table in a ritzy restaurant She was starin' at her coffee cup He was tryin' to keep his courage up By applyin' booze
And talk was small when they talked at all They both knew what they wanted There was no need to talk about it They were old enough to scope it out And keep it loose
She said, "You don't look like my type But I guess you'll do" Third rate romance Low rent rendezvous And he said, "I'll even tell you that I love you If you want me to" Third rate romance Low rent rendezvous
When they left the bar They got in his car And they drove away He drove to the family inn She didn't even have to pretend She didn't know what for
And he went to the desk And made his request While she waited outside Then he came back with the key She said, "Give it to me And I'll unlock the door"
She kept saying "I've never really done this kind of thing before, have you" Third rate romance Low rent rendezvous And he said, "Yes I have But only a time or two" Third rate romance Low rent redezvous Third rate romance Low rent rendezvous Third rate romance Low rent rendezvous
