Hey I'm just an old chunk of coal

I'm Just A Mess
Composer(s): Bill Spooner; Roger Steen
Performer(s): The Tubes



I'm searching for those party lights
Where everybody's having a good time
My baby said she'd hold me tight
And you know that this could be the right time

And I don't care what else
In the middle of your tenderness
I'm just a mess
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah

It was a September night
The air was turning warm to cold
My baby said she'd hold me tight
The autumn brought the springtime home

And I don't care what else
In the middle of your tenderness
I'm just a mess
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah

I like the way
You looked that day
When our love it was new
And if I saw you again
Somehow I'd just have to say
Sometimes you're just too plain to see
Then again, you're just like me
You had to say something
You waited so long
Here I am
I could be wrong

Stay with me baby, oh yeah
Stay with 'til morning comes
Stay with me baby, oh yeah
Stay with me 'til the morning comes

I don't care what else
In the middle of your tenderness
I just confess
I guess you messed me up again

Everybody's Been Burned
Composer(s): David Crosby
Performer(s): The Byrds; Eugene Chadbourne; 
Sebadoh; Thin White Rope



Everybody has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain
Anyone in this place can tell you to your face
Why you shouldn't love someone

Everybody knows it never works
Everybody knows and reads
I know that door that shuts just before
You get to the dream you see

I know all too well how to turn, how to run
How to hide behind a bitter wall of blue
But you die inside if you choose to hide
So I guess instead I'll love you

Alone in this world

Once I had a love
To lean on in the dark
But then that girl she
She up and put me down

I'm just a lonely
A lonely, lonely guy
A lonely guy in this town
Oh, oh, yes
A lonely guy in this town

If my baby
Can't be found
I'm going to the river
Jump overboard and drown

I'm just a lonely
A lonely, lonely
Lonely guy
I feel so low down
Oh oh, oh oh oh, feel so low down

If my baby
Can't be found

Everybody Wants To Be A Cat
Composer(s): Floyd Huddleston; Al Rinker
Performer(s): Phil Harris;
and various other artists



Everybody wants to be a cat
because a cat's the only cat 
who knows where it's at
Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat
'cause everything else is obsolete
Now a square with a horn
can make you wish you weren't born
ever'time he plays
and with a square in the act
he can set music back
to the caveman days
I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing
but a cat's the only cat
who knows how to swing
Who wants to dig
a long-haired gig
or stuff like that?
When everybody wants to be a cat
A square with that horn
makes you wish you weren't born
ever'time he plays
and with a square in the act
he's gonna set this music back
to the Stone Age days
Everybody wants to be a cat
because a cat's the only cat
who knows where it's at
while playin' jazz you always has a Welcome mat
'cause everybody digs a swingin' cat
Everybody digs a swingin' cat

I ain't gonna marry in the fall
And I ain't gonna marry in the spring
For I'm in love with a pretty little girl
Who wears a diamond ring

For.....I'm just a country boy
Money have I none
But I've got silver in the stars
And gold in the morning sun
And gold in the morning sun

I'm never gonna kiss those ruby red lips
Of the prettiest girl in town
I'm never gonna ask her if she'd marry me
'Cause I know she'd turn me down

'Cause.....I'm just a country boy
Money, money have I none
But I've got silver in the stars
And gold in the morning sun
And gold in the morning sun

I Never could afford a store-bought ring
With a sparkling diamond stone
All I could afford was a loving heart
The only one I own

'Cause.....I'm just a country boy
Money, money have I none
But I've got silver, silver in the stars
And gold in the morning sun
And gold in the morning sun

Everybody Wants A Key To My Cellar
Composer(s): Ed Rose; Billy Baskette; Lew Pollace
Performer(s): Bert Williams



Down in my cellar, down in my cellar
I've been changing everything around 
I've a secret hidden there
I'll guard it with my life 
There's only one mistake I made 
I told it to my wife

Down in my cellar, down in my cellar
I've been having parties every night 
People that I never knew come up and talk to me
They're trying hard to find out where I hang my cellar key

Now everybody wants a key to my cellar, my cellar, my cellar
People who before wouldn't give me a tumble
Even perfect strangers are beginning to grumble
'Cause I won't let them have a key to my cellar 
They'll never get in just let them try
They can have my money
They can have my car
They can have my wife 
If they want to go that far
But they can't have the key that opens my cellar
If the whole darn world goes dry

Woke up this morning feeling fine
There's something special on my mind

And I can tell I'm her kind of guy
She danced close to me like I hoped she would 
She danced close to me like I hoped she would
Something tells me I'm into something good

We only danced for a minute or two
But then she stuck close to me the whole night through
Can I be falling in love
She's everything I've been dreaming of 
She's everything I've been dreaming of

I walked her home and she held my hand
I knew it couldn't be just a one-night stand
So I asked to see her next week and she told me I could

Just act like you were made of rubber, chile
Glide along the floor and slide your feet a little bit

Just rest your little hand upon my glove 
When I get to going 'round the shiny floor 
Babe, I'd just die to dance a little more 
Oh, my word I'm full of loving heart complaint 
Just place your tootsies where your papa's aint 
Then you start to swayin' to the playin' of the band 
That's grand!

Everybody two step and do the twirly whirl 
Shake your feet with all your might

Then you make a bow
Everybody two step now 

I'm In Touch With Your World
Composer(s): Ric Ocasek
Performer(s): The Cars



You can tuck it on the inside
You can throw it on the floor
You can wave it on the outside
Like you never did before
You get the diplomatic treatment
You get the force fed future
You get the funk after death
You get the wisenheimer brainstorm
I'm in touch with your world
So don't you try to hide it
I'm in touch with your world
And nobody's going to buy it
It's such a lovely way to go
I've been lying on your feathers
You keep talking about the weather
I'm a psilocybin pony
You're a flick fandango phoney
It's a sticky contradiction
It's a thing you call creation
Everything is science fiction
And I ought to know

Performer(s): Bing Crosby;

Soon
You'll hear a tune
That's gonna lift you out of your seat
It could be sweeter
But then the meter
Was written especi'lly for your feet
Fly
Away up high
Upon a syncopated balloon
A little ginger
Will never injure
Hear them tuning up
They'll be playing soon

Ev'rybody step
To the syncopated rhythm
Let's be going with 'em
When they begin

You'll be saying, yes sir
The band is grand
He's the best professor
In all the land

Listen to the pep
That emerges from the middle
Of the jazzy fiddle
Under his chin

Oh, what music
The clarineter
Could not be better
Hear that strain
I don't know just what it is but it's great
They simply ruin it
Look at 'em doin' it
Come, come don't hesitate

Ev'rybody step
If you want to see a glutton
When it comes to struttin'
Over the ground

Wait'll you see
My little sweetie and me
Step, step, stepping around

When the whole world seems wrong
just learn the words of a simple song
of blue skies above
be a troubadour and all is love

When April showers stray
the silver lining will come they say
and singin' in the rain's the thing
that those happy days again will bring

So, everybody sing, everybody sing!
Let the sound of your voice turn winter to spring
Everybody's gay, everybody's gay!
Oh, say can't you hear the orchestra play?

Everybody sing, everybody start!
You can't go wrong with a song in your heart
Everybody sing, get into the swing

Everybody sing, come on now get into that swing
Go Do Re Mi Fa So La Si Do

Everybody sing, everybody sing!
Let the sound of your voice turn winter to spring

Sing before breakfast, help the birdies along
Before you have your buttered toast, have a song
Sing before breakfast, never quiet a thing
Before you eat your shredded wheat, sing, sing, sing!

Sing a song of sixpence, pocket full of rye
four and twenty blackbirds baked into a pie
When the pie was opened and set before the king
four and twenty blackbirds started into sing

Sing a melody of love, a song will win your lady fair
Sing a song that mentions love and you will yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi

Sing a song of cheer again
the skies above will be clear again
those happy days are here again
sing a song of cheer again

If you worry, if you fret, if you're getting deep in debt
let your frown turn summerset, get yourself a good quartet

In the evening by the moonlight
you can hear those darkies singin'

Sing good, sing bad
Sing loud, sing soft
Sing sweet, sing hot
Sing!

Everybody sing, everybody sing!
Let the sound of your voice turn winter to spring
Everybody's gay, everybody's gay!
Oh, say can't you hear la-da-de-oo-de-lay-de-lay-o?

You can't go wrong with a song in your heart
Everybody sing, get into the swing

Performer(s): Frances Langford
and multiple other artists



Lovely interlude, most romantic mood
And your attitude is right, dear
Sweetheart, you have me under a spell
Now my dream is real, that is why I feel
Such a strong appeal tonight
Somehow, all my reason takes flight, dear...

I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love

Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh, is it any wonder?
I'm in the mood for love

Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid

If there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But, for tonight, forget it
I'm in the mood for love

Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid

If there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But, for tonight, forget it
I'm in the mood for love

I'm in the mood baby, I'm in the mood for love
I'm in the mood baby, I'm in the mood for love
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood, baby, I'm in the mood for love

I said night time is the right time, to be with the one you love

Everybody Rag With Me
Composer(s): Grace LeBoy; Gus Kahn



What's that sneaky freaky, creepy, melody? 
It just takes me, makes me restless as can be
It goes to my heart, my head, my feet
I'll give anybody in the house my seat
I want to dance, dance, dance, dance, dance till I drop
I don't ever want to stop this ragging

Sousa's clever but he never played like this
This just thrills me and it fills me full of bliss
There it goes again! that sweet refrain! 
Every note reminds me of an Angel strain! 
Come on and dance, dance, dance, dance, then dance some more
We'll wear out this old pine floor completely

Everybody rag with me
Everybody drag with me
I've learned those dips and skips and dreamy hesitations
I could dance till day is dawning
Then I want to dance all morning 
Everybody sway with me
Drop your work and play with me
I don't want to hear any opera grand
Ragtime music, that's what I understand! 
I want everybody in the world to rag with me
