I'm Livin' In Shame
Composer(s): Henry Cosby; Gordy Jr.; Pam Sawyer; R. Dean Taylor; Frank Wilson
Performer(s): Diana Ross & the Supremes



Mama was cookin' bread
She wore a dirty raggedy scarf around her head
Always had her stockings low
Rolled to her feet just didn't know
She wore a sloppy dress
Oh no matter how she tried she always looked a mess
Out of the pot she ate
Never used a fork or a dinner plate
I was always so afraid that
The uptown friends would see her
Afraid one day when I was grown
That I would be her
In college town away from here
A new identity I found
That I was born elite
With maids and servants at my feet
I must have been insane
I lied and said mama died on a weekend trip to Spain
She never got out of the house
Never even boarded a train
Married a guy, was living high

I didn't want him to know her
she had a grandson two years old
That I never even showed her
I'm living in shame
Mama, I miss you
I know you're not to blame
Mama, I miss you

Got a telegram
Mama passed away while making home made jam
before she died she cried to see me by her side
She always did her best
Ah cooked and cleaned and always in the same old dress
Working hard, down on her knees
Always trying to please
Mama, mama, mama can you hear me
Mama, mama, mama can you hear me
I'm living in shame
Mama, I miss you
I know you've done your best
Mama, I miss you
Won't you forgive me mama
For all the wrong I've done
I know you've done your best
Oh I know you've done the very best you could
Mama I thought you understood
Working hard, down on your knees
Mama you're always, always trying to please

Well they took some honey from a tree 
Dressed it up and they called it me

Everybody's trying to be my baby 
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now 

Well half past nine, half past four 
fifty women knocking on my door 

Everybody's trying to be my baby 
Everybody's trying to be my baby 
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now 

Went out last night, I didn't stay late 
'fore I got home I had nineteen dates 

Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby 
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now 

Went out last night, I didn't stay late

Well they took some honey from a tree 
Dressed it up and they called it me

I'm Little, But I'm Loud
Composer(s): Jimmy Dickens; Boudleaux Bryant
Performer(s): Little Jimmy Dickens
and multiple other artists



A lot of folks have told me I got poor, but I got right
A winter apple picked up in the fall
But even as a young'n I was not the bashful type
'Cause I could yell up loud to stop them all

I'm little, but I'm loud, I'm poor, but I'm proud
I'm countrified and I don't care who knows it
I'm like a Banty rooster in a big red rooster crowd
I'm puny, short and little, but I'm loud

I learned to do my singin' walkin' long behind the plow
The singin' teacher always passed me by
And so I had to sing the only way that I know how
Just rear back, open up and let her fly

I'm little, but I'm loud, I'm poor, but I'm proud
I'm countrified and I don't care who knows it
I'm like a Banty rooster in a big red rooster crowd
I'm puny, short and little, but I'm loud

I sang a special solo song in church one Sunday morn
And I was plumbin' barest to my skin
I hit a high and turned around, and as sure as I was born
Two cows and fourteen horses came walkin' in

I'm little, but I'm loud, I'm poor, but I'm proud
I'm countrified and I don't care who knows it
I'm like a Banty rooster in a big red rooster crowd
I'm puny, short and little, but I'm loud
I'm puny, short and little, but I'm loud

Everybody's Talkin'
Composer(s): Fred Neil
Performer(s): Harry Nilsson;
and various other artists



Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind

People stopping staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Thru' the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Backing off of the North East wind
Sailing on summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone 

I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone
Composer(s): Stanley Kesler; William Eugene Taylor
First recording/First release by: Elvis Presley - 1954/1955
Covered by multiple other artists



Well, you're right, I'm left, she's gone
You're right, and I'm left all alone
Well, you tried to tell me so
But how was I to know
That she was not the one for me
You told me all along
You're right, our love was so wrong
But now I changed my mind
Because she broke the ties that bind
And I know that she never cared for me
Well, I thought I knew just what she'd do
I guess I'm not so smart
Oh, you tried to tell me along she'd only break my heart
I'm left, you're right, she's gone
You're right, and I'm left all alone
Well, she's gone I know not where
But now I just don't care
For now I'm falling for you
If you'll forgive me now
I'll make it up somehow
So happy we will be
In a home just for three
And I'll soon forget her
Now I know
Well, I thought I knew just what she'd do
I guess I'm not so smart
You tried to tell me all along
She'd only break my heart
Well, you're right, I'm left, she's gone
You're right, and I'm left all alone
Well, she's gone, I know not where
But now I just don't care
For now I've fallen for you

Everybody's Somebody's Fool
Composer(s): Howard Greenfield - Jack Keller
Performer(s): Connie Francis - 1960
and multiple other artists



The tears I've cried for you could fill an ocean
But you don't care how many tears I cry
And though you only lead me on and hurt me
I couldn't bring myself to say goodbye
'Cause everybody's somebody's fool
Everybody's somebody's plaything
And there are no exceptions to the rule
Yes, everybody's somebody's fool
I told myself it's best that I forget you
Though I'm a fool, at least I know the score
Yet, darling, I'd be twice as blue without you
It hurts but I come running back for more
'Cause everybody's somebody's fool
Everybody's somebody's plaything
And there are no exceptions to the rule
Yes, everybody's somebody's fool
Someday you'll find the one you really care for
And if her love should prove to be untrue
You'll know how much this heart of mine is breaking
You'll cry for her the way I cried for you
'Cause everybody's somebody's fool
Everybody's somebody's plaything
And there are no exceptions to the rule
Yes, everybody's somebody's fool

I'm Leaving
Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan



Living in a town that's on the brink of being a city
Won't satisfy my soul though the women may be pretty
My mind is made up
I have had enough
I'm leaving here today
Shops, walls, pavements, streets
Is all that I could find
From head to foot and toe to eye
I looked till I was blind
No matter what turns up
I'm leaving here
This place ain't good enough
You might think that I'm being funny
Just 'cause I won't spend my money here
Well let me tell you I have no objection
Except that I can find correction
Everywhere I go
Jump high in the sky unless you're feeling bitter
About walking down an empty street
With gutters full of litter
My mind is made up
I have had enough
I'm leaving here today, hey, hey
I'm going away
You might think that I'm being funny
Just 'cause I won't spend my money here
Well let me tell you I have no objection
Except that I can find correction
Everywhere I go
jump high in the sky unless you're feeling bitter
About walking down an empty street
With gutters full of litter
My mind is made up
I have had enough
I'm leaving here today, hey, hey
My mind is made up
I have had enough
I'm leaving right away, hey, hey
I'm going away
Getting out of this place
I know I've said it before
But this time I mean it
I'm leaving
Packing my bags and going away
Getting out of this place

Everybody's Out Of Town
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David
Performer(s): B.J. Thomas



Where have the people gone
Seems like there's no one hangin' on
Look through the window
The houses are empty
Hey, everybody's out of town
Seems like I'm the only one around

All of the streets are bare
No traffic tie-ups anywhere
Don't have to wait for a seat at the movie
Hey, everybody's out of town
Seems like, I'm the only one around

Everyone's moved out
From the ghetto
Lots of space
Empty apartments
No more pollution
Plenty of classrooms everyplace
And it looks like we're ready
To give it one more try
This time there'll be no alibi
I'm gonna send out a message to Noah
Hey, better send some people down
Everyone on earth
Is out of town

Well I know, if I'd arrived in time to know you
You'd have taken the time to show me
I wouldn't be lonely

Where will I go, who will I have to lie beside me
Is it something that's inside me
I'm so lonely

Tried so hard each time, each time I just can't make it
Feelin' fast vibrations and I just can't take it
Living from day to day, chasing the dream
I'm, I'm leavin'

La la la la la la la la la la la la la

Everybody's On Their Way To Jersey
Composer(s): Garfield Kilgour;
Harry Akst; Lou Handman



There's a certain little State 
No one thought was up to date
Jokes about it made a lot of fun 
But folks are getting hunches
Going there in bunches 
A mighty mob has started on the run
Tho' small in size that state is wise nobody hesitates 
It's population soon will be the whole United States

People living there are fine 
Each one has a friend named "Stein"
Anderson had better watch his step 
The cops are in a fury 
Each kitchen is a brewery 
They brew those hops that fill you full of pep
From California Massachusetts, people far and near 
A train they take to join the wake, and gather 'round the 'bier'

Everybody's on their way to Jersey 
Everybody's going there to stay 
And it's not the air 
That they're going over there
There is something doing something brewing 
OH! BOY! buckets of joy 
Three and a half percent in dear old Jersey 
Is not the dividends the bankers pay 
Just hop on a train and tell the man
that you want to go where they rush the can 
For everybody's on their way to Jersey

Performer(s): Carmen Miranda



Mamãe eu quero, mamãe eu quero
Mamãe eu quero mamar!
Dá a chupeta, dá a chupeta, ai, dá a chupeta
Dá a chupeta pro bebê não chorar!

Dorme filhinho do meu coração
Pega a mamadeira em vem entra no meu cordão
Eu tenho uma irmã que se chama Ana
De piscar o olho já ficou sem a pestana

Eu olho as pequenas, mas daquele jeito
E tenho muita pena não ser criança de peito
Eu tenho uma irmã que é fenomenal
Ela é da bossa e o marido é um boçal

Everybody's Makin' It Big But Me 
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show



Elvis, he's a hero...he's a superstar
And I hear that Paul McCartney drives a Rolls Royce car
And Dylan sings for millions
And I just sing for free
Oh, everybody's makin' it big but me

Oh, everybody's makin' it big but me
Everybody's makin' it big but me
Neil Diamond sings for diamonds
And here's ole rhinestone me
Oh, everybody's makin' it big but me

Well, I hear that Alice Cooper's got a foxy chick
To wipe off his snake, keep him rich
And Elton John's got two fine ladies
And Doctor John's got three
And I'm still seein' them same old sleezoes 
That I used to see

Oh, everybody's makin' it big but me
Everybody's makin' it big but me
I've got charisma 
And personality
How come everybody's makin' it big but me? 

Well, I paint my face with glitter 
Just like Bowie does
And I wear the same mascara 
That Mick Jagger does
And I even put some lipstick on
That just hurt my dad and mom
Everybody's makin' it big but me

They got groupies for their bands
And all I got is my right hand
And everybody's makin' it big but me 

I'm Leaning On A Lamppost
Performer(s): Herman's Hermits



I'm leaning on a lamppost
At the corner of the street
In case a certain little lady comes by
Oh me! Oh my!
I hope the little lady comes by
I don't know if she'll get away
She doesn't always get away
But anyhow I know that she'll try
Oh me, oh my!
I hope the little lady comes by
There's no other girl I would wait for
But this one I'd break any date for
I don't want to ask what she's late for
She wouldn't leave me flat
She's not a girl like that
She's absolutely beautiful
And marvellous and wonderful
And anyone can understand why
I'm leaning on a lamppost
At the corner of the street
In case a certain little lady passes by

Everybody's Got The Right To Love
Composer(s): Lou Stallman
Performer(s): The Supremes



When you're alone and in a corner
Your only mourner is the face that
Appears in the nearest mirror
You gotta get it going and somehow knowing you
You're gonna have it better than you ever had it
Everybody needs somebody
Everybody's got the right to love

If you could give in for a minute
And put your soul in it
We could get it on together and forever love it
so what's the use of running
You know there ain't no fun in running
And boy you need somebody, somebody to love you
'Cause everybody needs somebody
Everybody's got the right to love

You can have all the things that you desire
But without love you just can't survive
You need love to warm your heart at night
When you're all alone and no comfort's in sight
Everybody needs somebody
Everybody's got the right to love

A very important date
No time to say hello, good-bye

I lose the time I save
My fuzzy ears and whiskers
Took me too mych time to shave
I run and then I hop, hop, hop
I wish that I could fly
There's danger if I dare to
Stop and here's a reason why
I'm over-due, I'm in a rabbit stew
Can't even say good-bye

Composer(s): Dickey Betts
Performer(s): The Allman Brothers Band



Everybody's got a mountain to climb
This road we travel gets a little tough sometimes
Sometimes I know you feel like you can't go on
Need somebody help you get back home
Need a friend to help you find your way home
Reverend Pearly Brown say there's peace out on the water at night
Big sun going down, Lord it's a pretty sight
Red and blue across the water makes a wonderful song
Listen to it all night long
Everybody's got a mountain to climb
Don't be discouraged when the sun don't shine
Gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin'
Everybody's got a mountain to climb
Everybody's got a mountain to climb
Who'd cross the face of a little smilin' child?
Take away the loser's one last chance?
Who wouldn't linger down by the old river for a while?
You know the whole world loves you when you're dancin'
So, hey let me tell you what I'm talkin' about
You can't go around with your lip stuck out
Life ain't all good but it sure ain't bad
Anyway it's the best old life I ever had
Everybody's got a mountain to climb
Don't be discouraged when the sun don't shine
Gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin'
Everybody's got a mountain to climb
Everybody's got a mountain to climb
Don't be discouraged when the sun don't shine
Gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin'
Everybody's got a mountain to climb

You are my destination
I have to call
'cause you have so much on the ball
Ah you hit the spot
Like the first embrace with a modest tide
Well you hit the spot
Like pipe and slippers by the fireside
Matter of factly don't know exactly what it is that you've got
But you hit the spot
You hit the spot
Like a balmy breeze on a night in May
You hit the spot
Like a cool mint julep on a sunny day
You hit the spot
In my estimation ....

Everybody's Got A Home But Me
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II; Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Eddie Fisher;
and various other artists



Scooted out of Frisco over Route 101
Got a hitch as far as San Jose
Rode aboard a Greyhound till I ran outta dough
Bid the bus goodbye at Monterey
But I seen a lot of things along the way
And I did a lot of thinkin' on the way

I rode by a house
With the windows lighted up
Lookin' pretty as a Christmas tree
And I said to myself
As I rode by myself
Everybody's got a home but me

I rode by a house
Where the moon was on the porch
And the girl was on her fella's knee
And I said to myself
As I rode by myself
Everybody's got a home but me

I am free and I'm happy
To be free
(To be free)
(To be free)
To be free in the way
I wanna be
(Wanna be)
(Wanna be)

But once in a while
When I'm talkin' to myself
And there's no one there to disagree
I look up and I cry
To a big empty sky
Won't there ever be
A home for me somewhere
Everybody's got a home but me
