I Found The End Of The Rainbow Composer(s): John Mears; Harry Tierney; Joseph McCarthy Performer(s): The Big Apple Chorus
Thought I'd never find my happiness I just watched the days roll by But a ray of gladness came through clouds of sadness like a little sunbeam from the sky I found a rainbow of a golden hue it led me to a land where dreams come true
Thought I'd never find my luck day failure was my middle name My imagination, thrilled with new sensation I had a winning in life's game here after I will always trust in fate the sun will always shine for those who wait
I found the end of the rainbow when you first smiled on me all my happiness came with your caress and the world was fair to see believe me, somebody way up in heaven just sent the sunshine through and I found the end of the rainbow when I found you sweet you

Jinetes En El Cielo English Title: (Ghost) Riders In The Sky Composer(s): Stan Jones; A. Alpin Performer(s): Raphael; and various other artists
Leyenda de un jinete que galopa sin cesar Cumpliendo la condena de cruzar la eternidad Por traicionar en vida lo que fue su gran amor Sembrando llantos y dolor en otro corazon
Jinetes por el cielo van y no se detendran
Detras de aquel jinete van diablos en troquel Que gritan y castigan sin descanso a su corcel Son tantos los amores que en su vida traiciono Que nunca encontrara perdon en otro corazon
Jinetes por el cielo van y no se detendran
Pusieron rosas rojas en memoria de su amor El cielo se ha encendido con un bello resplandor Y ya la enamorada le ha sabido perdonar Borro su culpa la oracion, por fin descansara

Lost in a city that has no pity I found a rose, Little lonesome rose Where smiling faces, hide broken hearts In happy places, where sorrow starts Some body's sister, whose folks have missed her A mother dear She's a lonesome tear For little baby, who went away She's kneeling maybe, just now to pray I found a rose, in the devil's garden Wandring alone, little lonesome rose For her the sun is never shining For her the clouds have, no silver lining I found a rose, in the devil's garden Playing the game, of the Moth and Flame Beneath the powder and paint Maybe the heart of a saint Where sorrow grows, I found a rose I found a rose, in the devil's garden Wandring alone, little lonesome rose For her the sun is never shining For her the clouds have, no silver lining I found a rose, in the devil's garden Playing the game, of the Moth and Flame But maybe deep in her heart She's thinking of a new start Where sorrow grows, I found a rose

Sometimes it's just no fun To feel like you're the only one Who doesn't go along, when things seem wrong But they're not my friends if they don't see That I don't like people pushing me! Hey man, what's the matter with you? Oh, come on! Everybody's going! Chicken! Nobody's gonna know! What are you, scared? Everybody does it! Come on!

I Found A Million Dollar Baby (In a Five and Ten Cent Store)
I Found A Million Dollar Baby (In a Five and Ten Cent Store) Composer(s): Mort Dixon; Billy Rose; Harry Warren Performer(s): Bing Crosby and multiple other artists
It was a lucky April shower It was the most convenient door I found a million dollar baby In a five and ten cent store The rain continued for an hour I hung around for three or four Around a million dollar baby In a five and ten cent store She was selling china And when she made those eyes I kept buying china Until the crowd got wise Incidentally If you should run into a shower Just step inside my cottage door And meet the million-dollar baby From the five and ten cent store Love comes along like a popular song Any time or anywhere at all Rain or sunshine Spring or fall Say, you'll never know when it may say hello In a very unexpected place For example, take my case
She was selling china And when she made those eyes I kept buying china until the crowd got wise Incidentally If you should run into a shower Oh, step inside my cottage door And meet my million-dollar baby From the five and ten cent store

Chorus: Hey Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back He calls me on the phone, about three times a day Now my heart's just listening to what he has to say But this loneliness that I have within keeps reaching out to be his friend

Jimmy loves Mary-Anne Jimmy wants to be a man Jimmy loves Mary-Anne She thinks it's alright
This big dollar town can drag you right down If you go it alone Even the strong don't survive very long When they're out on their own Jimmy knows it's true Mary-Anne knows it too They can see each other through If they hold on
