Ruthless People ((aka Toothless People ("Weird Al" Yankovic) - 1986)) Composer(s): Daryl Hall - Mick Jagger - Dave Stewart First release: Mick Jagger - 1986
Hey! Stand up! Ruthless people! Hey! Stand up! Ruthless people! Real and evil!
They love the smell of the killing, the flesh Gorging 'til they've had their fill of success Dealing their mother to get into paradise Pay Jesus special protection, and ain't it wise!
Hey! Stand up! Ruthless people! So deceitful! I wanna tell you... Hey! (Come on! ) Stand up!... Get on your feet! Ruthless people! Real and evil! What I say...
Greedy forever and ever, success Greedy and ever so clever, a mess Given the right on to creep into paradise They'll even blackmail St. Peter then pay the price!
Hey! Stand up!... Get on your feet! Ruthless people! Greed and evil! Oh yes!
You can have it if you want it It might take the rest of your life If you want it you can have it To a balancing act on a knife You can have it if you want it If you think it's cheap at the price If you want it you can have it But sweat your sweet soul out of lives!
Ruthless people! Ruthless people! Ruthless people! Ruthless people! You better watch your back now!

They only show you their gums when they smile Ain't got a tooth in their heads now, how vile Only can eat things like pudding and applesauce They never have to buy toothpicks or dental floss
Hey, stand up Toothless people, their breath is lethal, wanna tell you Hey, come on, stand up, get on your feet Toothless people, old and feeble, what I say
No more of those pearly whites will they possess Their oral hygiene is frightful, a mess Lots of 'em suffering from trench mouth and gum disease At least they don't have to worry 'bout cavities
Hey, stand up, take out your teeth Toothless people, old and feeble, oh yes
You can brush 'em, you can floss 'em They're something you just can't ignore If you lose 'em, you're in trouble 'Cause the tooth fairy won't come no more You need something to show your dentist The next time he makes you say "Ah" You don't wanna have to wind up Eating all of your food through a straw
(Like toothless people, toothless people) You'd better brush your teeth now (hey) Toothless, toothless, toothless, toothless people Hey, stand up, toothless people

Tom Joad ((Adapted from: John Hardy (Buell Kazee) - 1927)) Composer(s): Traditional - Woody Guthrie Performer(s): Woody Guthrie - 1940 and multiple other artists
Tom Joad got out of the old McAlester Pen There he got his parole After four long years on a man killing charge Tom Joad come a walking down the road, poor boy Tom Joad come a walking down the road
Tom Joad he met a truck driving man There he caught him a ride He said "I just got loose from McAlester's Pen On a charge called Homicide, A charge called Homicide"
That truck rolled away in a cloud of dust Tommy turned his face toward home He met Preacher Casey and they had a little drink But they found that his family they was gone He found that his family they was gone He found his mother's old fashion shoe Found his daddy's hat And he found little Muley and Muley said "They've been tractored out by the cats They've been tractored out by the cats"
Tom Joad walked down to the neighbors farm Found his family They took Preacher Casey and loaded in a car And his mother said "We got to git away" His mother said 'We got to get away"
Now the twelve of the Joads made a mighty heavy load But Grandpa Joad did cry He picked up a handful of land in his hand Said: "I'm stayin' with the farm till I die Yes, I'm stayin' with my farm till I die"
They fed him short ribs and coffee and soothing syrup And Grandpa Joad did die They buried Grandpa Joad by the side of the road Buried Grandma on the California side They buried Grandma on the California side
They stood on a Mountain and they looked to the West And it looked like the promised land That bright green valley with a river running through There was work for every single hand, they thought There was work for every single hand The Joads rolled away to Jungle Camp There they cooked a stew And the hungry little kids of the Jungle Camp Said "We'd like to have some too" Said: "We'd like to have some too"
Now a Deputy Sheriff fired loose at a man Shot a woman in the back Before he could take his aim again Preacher Casey dropped him in his track Preacher Casey dropped him in his track
They handcuffed Casey and they took him to Jail And then he got away And he met Tom Joad on the old river bridge And these few words he did say, poor boy These few words he did say
"I preached for the Lord a mighty long time Preached about the rich and the poor Us workin' folks got to all get together 'Cause we ain't got a chance anymore We ain't got a chance anymore"
The Deputies come and Tom and Casey run To the bridge where the water run down But the vigilante they hit Casey with a club They laid Preacher Casey on the ground They laid Preacher Casey on the ground
Tom Joad he grabbed that Deputy's club Hit him over the head Tom Joad took flight in the dark rainy night A Deputy and a Preacher lying dead, two men A Deputy and a Preacher lying dead
Tom run back where his mother was asleep He woke her up out of bed Then he kissed goodbye to the mother that he loved Said what Preacher Casey said, Tom Joad He said what Preacher Casey said
"Ever'body might be just one big soul Well it looks that a way to me Everywhere that you look in the day or night That's where I'm gonna be, Ma That's where I'm gonna be
Wherever little children are hungry and cry Wherever people ain't free Wherever men are fightin' for their rights That's where I'm gonna be, Ma That's where I'm a gonna be
I Know That My Redeemer Lives Composer(s): Lewis D. Edwards; Samuel Medley
I know that my Redeemer lives! What comfort this sweet sentence gives! He lives, he lives, who once was dead He lives, my ever living head!
He lives triumphant from the grave He lives eternally to save He lives exalted, throned above He lives to rule his Church in love
He lives to grant me rich supply He lives to guide me with his eye He lives to comfort me when faint He lives to hear my souls complaint
He lives to silence all my fears He lives to wipe away my tears He lives to calm my troubled heart He lives all blessings to impart
He lives to bless me with his love He lives to plead for me above He lives my hungry soul to feed He lives to help in time of need
He lives, my kind, wise, heavenly friend He lives and loves me to the end He lives, and while he lives, Ill sing He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King!
He lives and grants me daily breath He lives, and I shall conquer death He lives my mansion to prepare He lives to bring me safely there
He lives, all glory to his name! He lives, my savior, still the same What joy this blest assurance gives I know that my Redeemer lives!

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
