Toot, Toot, Tootsie (Goo'bye) Composer(s): Gus Kahn - Ernie Erdman - Ted FioRito - Dan Russo First performance: Al Jolson - 1921 Covered by multiple other artists
Yesterday I heard a lover sigh "Goodbye, oh me, oh my" Seven times he got aboard his train And seven times he hurried back To kiss his love again, and tell her...
Toot, toot, Tootsie, goo'bye Toot, toot, Tootsie, don't cry The choo choo train that takes me Away from you, no words can tell how sad it makes me Kiss me, Tootsie, and then Do it over again Watch for the mail, I'll never fail If you don't get a letter then you'll know I'm in jail Tut, tut, Tootsie, don't cry Toot, toot, Tootsie, goo'bye!
When somebody says goodbye to me I'm sad as I can be, Not so with this loving Romeo He seemed to take a lot of pleasure Saying goodbye to his treasure...
Toot, toot, Tootsie, goo'bye Toot, toot, Tootsie, don't cry The choo choo train that takes me Away from you, no words can tell how sad it makes me Kiss me, Tootsie, and then Do it over again Watch for the mail, I'll never fail If you don't get a letter then you'll know I'm in jail Tut, tut, Tootsie, don't cry Toot, toot, Tootsie, goo'bye!
I Know Somebody Who Loves You Composer(s): Jack Owens Performer(s): Robert Wilcox & Frances Langford
I know somebody who loves you, me! Me! I know who thinks the world of you, me! Me! I know somebody who dreams of you all through the night And wonders what has happened to her (his) appetite
I know somebody who's frantic, me! Me! `Cause you're not getting romantic, gosh, oh gee! If I know someone and you know someone It must be plain to see
Oh, I know somebody who loves you And that somebody is me!

I Know One Composer(s): Jack Clement Performer(s): Charley Pride and multiple other artists
When all your loves have ended When all your friends have flown Who'll be around to want you When all your loves have gone
Only a fool would do it After the way you've done And how many fools would have you I know one
This fool keeps wondering why he fell in love at all But you might need this fool around in case you fall After the party's over and you've had your fill of fun If you need a fool to forgive you...I know one
You never know you might be lonely when all your loves have missed It wouldn't hurt to keep an extra fool on your list After your heart's been broken and you need a place to run If you'll take a fool who loves you...I know one...I know one
Well, not too long ago in nineteen forty-four When every mother's son was goin' off to war They had to lift they spirits high (High!) For Uncle Sam, motherhood and apple pie Instead of spendin' money that they didn't have In hot spots in the Bronx They went to hear the kind of jazz You hear in funky honky-tonks
It made you wanna Jump (jump!), shout (shout!), knock yourself out A boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about If you had the heebie-jeebies you could dance away To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin' You could jump (jump!), shout (shout!), knock yourself out A boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down With the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who's goin' to town
It had the kind of rhythm that would fill the hall The plinkin' and the plunkin' drove 'em up the wall And they would dance and drink their gin (yeah!) And when the fuzz (fuzz) buzzed (buzzed), they'd join in So everybody partied 'till the cows came home 'cause that's what boogie's for And every night that dump would jump (jump, jump) And keep 'em comin' back for more
Because it made you wanna Jump (jump!), shout (shout!), knock yourself out A boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about If you had the heebie-jeebies you could dance away To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin' You could jump (jump!), shout (shout!), knock yourself out A boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down With the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who's goin' to town
It made you wanna Jump (jump!), shout (shout!) (Foo-der-acka-sacki) Wanna jump (jump!), shout (shout!) (Slip the talcum to me Malcom) You wanna jump (jump!), shout (shout!) (Floy-doy, floy-doy) To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin'
You could jump (jump!), shout (shout!), knock yourself out A boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down To the boogie-woogie beat of a piano, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha

Wearing stripes, arms up high, as tall as can be Nothing more than a frozen smile to see In the cage he'll defy all that's logical Under lights, stay up all night with his formula In the grip in the step of potential rage Oh it's hip, formulated to fascinate If you do it like this: jump! jump! Do it like this: jump! jump! She moves faster than any eye can see Moving parts that aren't moved normally In the haze what it isn't is what you see On and off, up and down, like a yo yo string Try to do it like this: jump! jump! No, no, like this: jump! jump! Do it for a kiss: jump! jump! Do it like this: jump! jump!
They shine, we shield our eyes to see what is the dazzling and the enchanted
They whine "come closer to me" That is the dizzying, the dancing sorcery Jump little doggie Do what she say Jump jump jump Jump little doggie Do what she say Jump jump jump Jump little doggie Do what she say Jump jump jump Jump little doggie Do what she say Jump jump jump
Whoa whoa, my little doggie, he does a trick Ruff ruff! He went to school to learn how to sit We were excited, delighted having fun As we decended the exit, got off the bus We got friends, we got fans now, and this is proof Can you tell me why that guy is on the roof? Oh ho, do it like this: jump! jump! Try it like this: jump! jump! Do it more like this: jump! jump!

When a fella meets a girl in Switzerland Theres a certain thing hes gotta do He can never never take her by the hand Till he learns to toolie-oolie-doo
When a Swiss boy goes calling On a Swiss miss in June Toolie-oolie-doolie-doo He sings this pretty tune And he charms her like magic When he yodels this tune Toolie-oolie-doolie-doo Beneath the alpine moon

Jump Into The Fire Composer(s): Harry Nilsson Performer(s): Harry Nilsson
You can climb a mountain You can swim the sea You can jump into the fire But you'll never be free
You can shake me up Or I can break you down Whoa-o-o-o Whoa-o-o-o We can make each other happy We can make each other happy We can make each other happy We can make each other happy

Took the car and drove off the hills Saw the flashing lights and saw them die I left behind society that kills Me and Nancy waved them all goood-bye I took the car the sun was going down
Saw the changing colours of the sky An old Apache canyon our camp-ground
Secure and safe together made us sigh
Took the car and filled the trunk with wood Took it back and made of it a fire
To be a child again would be so good Me and Nancy warm in our desire Took the car and drove it everywhere Through the land where all the west began Desert wind was blowing in our hair
I Know It Composer(s): Madonna Performer(s): Madonna
I don't know why I thought that I could make you happy These tears I cry for you are so hopeless, yeah I don't know why I thought that we were going somewhere But you grabbed your coat and you were out the door And now I know you don't care
I know you're gonna take your love and run I know you think I'm the foolish one I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye
I used to think you were my pretty angel comin' down Well now you've just proven me wrong What about the letters we have written All the things we've said and done I'll just stand here while you count the battles you have won
I know you're gonna take your love and run I know you think I'm the foolish one I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye I know it
But I'm not gonna cry for you 'Cause that's what you want me to do No I'm not gonna cry for you anymore
I know you're gonna take your love and run I know you think I'm the foolish one I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye I know it
Take your love and run from me Is this the way love's supposed to be You don't think that I can see But you can't fool me
But I'm not gonna cry for you 'Cause that's what you want me to do No I'm not gonna cry for you anymore
I know you're gonna take your love and run I know you think I'm the foolish one I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye I know it

I Know I Got More Than My Share Composer(s): Grant Clarke; Howard Johnson
To every one beneath the sun, God sends his blessings down Like dew they fall upon us all, in every home they're found To some a name, to others fame, His gifts are every where The poor man and the rich a like, will both receive their share
Through life we go and never know what future years may hold The skies of gray may fade away and some day turn to gold So don't complain there's naught to gain, just learn to live and love We all must wait to learn our fate, and trust to Him above
God gives the wise men their wisdom, sends all the poets their dreams To father and mother their love for each other we all get a share, so it seems I thought that I was forgotten My life was an empty affair But He thought of me too, and when God gave me you I know I got more than my share
Jump Back Composer(s): Rufus Thomas Performer(s): The Spencer Davis Group; and various other artists
Last night, the night before (jump back, baby, jump back) Twenty four robbers was at my door (jump back, baby, jump back) I got up to let 'em in (jump back, baby, jump back) Hit 'em on the head with a rollin' pin (jump back, baby, jump back)
Downtown sycamore town, (jump back, baby, jump back) Billy goat laid his poppa down (jump back, baby, jump back)
Oh, jump back, baby, jump back Oh, jump back, baby, jump back Jump, jump
Well, I went back home to get some sleep (jump back, baby, jump back) I give the bed bugs the time to creep (jump back, baby, jump back) If one should bite before I wake (jump back, baby, jump back) Hope the world enjoys the break (jump back, baby, jump back)
Oh, jump back, baby, jump back Oh, jump back, baby, jump back Jump, jump
Paid 5 dollars for an old grey horse (jump back, baby, jump back) Horse wouldn't pull, so I swapped for a bull (jump back, baby, jump back) Bull wouldn't holler so I sold it for a dollar (jump back, baby, jump back) The dollar I wouldn't need so I throwed it in the grass (jump back, baby, jump back) The grass wouldn't grow, so I chopped it with a hoe (jump back, baby, jump back) The hoe wouldn't chop, so I took it to the shop (jump back, baby, jump back) The shop made money like the bees make honey (jump back, baby, jump back)
Oh, jump back, baby, jump back Oh, jump back, baby, jump back Jump, jump

There's something that I just can't seem to Get off my mind and it's this, girl We've let it go too far We're too young to have tied ourselves to Each others' arms We've forgotten who we are
I loved her; the two of us were one plus one One together, but I found That two cannot stay one, stay one forever
There's something that I just can't seem to Get off my mind, and it's this, girl We've let it go too far We're too young to have tied ourselves to Each others' arms We've forgotten who we are
There's something that I just can't seem to Get off my mind, and it's this, girl We've let it go too far We're too young to have tied ourselves to Each others' minds! We've forgotten who we are We've forgotten who we are We've forgotten who we are
Too young to have tied ourselves Have tied ourselves Too young to have tied ourselves Have tied ourselves...
I Know Him So Well Composer(s): Benny Andersson; Tim Rice; Bjorn Ulvaeus First release by: Elaine Paige & Barbara Dickson - 1984 Covered by multiple other artists
Nothing is so good it lasts eternally Perfect situations must go wrong But this has never yet prevented me From wanting far too much for far too long Looking back, I could have done it differently Won a few more moments, who can tell? But it took time to understand the man Now at least I know, I know him well
Wasn't it good, Wasn't it fine Isn't it madness he can't be mine But in the end, he needs a little more than before Security, he needs his fantasy and freedom I know him so well
No one in your life is with you constantly No one is completely on your side And though I move my world to be with him Still the gap between us is too wide Looking back, I could have played it differently Learned about the man before I fell But I was ever so much younger then
Wasn't it good (oh so good), Wasn't it fine (so fine) Isn't it madness he can't be mine
Didn't I know how it would go If I knew from the start Why am I falling apart
Wasn't it fine Isn't it madness he can't be mine But in the end, he needs a little more than before Security, he needs his fantasy and freedom I know him so well It took some to understand him Ooo ooh I know him so well
