    It's A Sin To Tell A Lie
    Composer(s): Billy Mayhew
    First release by: Elton Britt - 1936
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Be sure it's true when you say I love you
    It's a sin to tell a lie
    Millions of hearts have been broken
    Just because these words were spoken

    I love you, yes I do, I love you
    If you break my heart I'll die
    So be sure it's true
    When you say I love you
    It's a sin to tell a lie

    Be sure it's true when you say I love you
    It's a sin to tell a lie
    Millions of hearts have been broken
    Just because these words were spoken

    I love you, yes I do, I love you
    If you break my heart I'll die
    So be sure it's true
    When you say I love you
    It's a sin to tell a lie

    Christmas At Ground Zero Composer(s): Weird Al Yankovic Performer(s): Weird Al Yankovic



    It's Christmas at ground zero
    There's music in the air
    The sleigh bells are ringing and the carolers are singing
    While the air raid sirens blare
    It's Christmas at ground zero
    The button has been pressed
    The radio just let us know that this is not a test
    Everywhere the atom bombs are dropping
    It's the end of all humanity
    No more time for last minute shopping
    It's time to meet your final destiny
    It's Christmas at ground zero
    There's panic in the crowd
    We can trim the tree while we dodge debris
    Underneath the mushroom cloud

    You might hear some reindeer on your rooftop
    Or Jack Frost on your windowsill
    But if someone's climbing down your chimney
    You better load your gun and shoot to kill
    It's Christmas at ground zero
    And if the radiation level's OK
    I'll go out with you and see all the new
    Mutations on New Year's Day
    It's Christmas at ground zero
    Just seconds left to go
    I'll duck and cover with my Yuletide lover
    Underneath the mistletoe
    It's Christmas at ground zero
    Now the missiles are on their way
    What a crazy fluke we're gonna get nuked
    On this jolly holiday
    What a crazy fluke we're gonna get nuked
    On this jolly holiday

    It's A Sin Composer(s): Fred Rose - Zeb Turner First release by: Eddy Arnold - 1946 Covered by multiple other artists



    It's a sin my darling how I love you Because I know our love can never be It's a sin to keep this mem'ry of you When silence proves that you've forgotten me The dream I built for us has tumbled Each promise broken like my heart It's a sin my darling how I love you So much in love and yet so far apart It's a sin to hide behind this heartache To make believe that I've found someone new It's a sin to say that I don't miss you When people know I'm still in love with you I'm sure you're happy with another Who shares the love I couldn't win Why pretend that I can't live without you When deep inside I know that it's a sin

    Christmas As I Knew It Composer(s): June Carter Cash - Jan Howard Performer(s): Johnny Cash



    One day near Christmas, when I was just a child
    Mama called us together and Mama tried to smile
    She said, "You know the cotton crop hasn't been too good this year
    There's just no spending money and, well, at least we're all here
    I hope you won't expect a lot of Christmas presents
    Just be thankful that there is plenty to eat
    That's quite a blessing that'll make things a little more pleasant"
    And us kids got to thinking how really blessed we were
    At least we were all healthy and best of all, we had her

    Roy cut down a pigapple tree and we drug it home, Jack and me
    Daddy killed a squirrel and Louise made the bread
    Reba decorated the tree with popcorn strings before we went to bed
    Mama and Daddy sacrificed 'cause this Christmas was lean
    But after all there was the babies, Tom and Joanne, babies need a few things

    I whittled a whistle for my brother Jack and though we fought now and then
    When I gave Jack that whistle, he knew I thought the world of him
    Mama made the girl's dresses out of flower sacks
    And when she ironed them down, you couldn't tell that they hadn't come from town

    A sharecropped family across the road didn't have it as good as us
    They didn't even have a light and it was way past dusk
    And mama said, "Well I bet they don't even have coal oil or beans to boil
    A log, apples, oranges and such"

    Me and Jack took a jar of coal oil and some hickernuts we'd found
    We walked to the sharecropper's porch and set 'em down
    A poor old ragged lady eased open the door
    She picked up the coal oil and hickernuts and said
    "I sure do thank ye", and quickly closed the door

    We started back home, me and Jack
    And about halfway we stopped looked back
    And in the sharecropper's window at last was a light
    So for one of the neighbors and for us it was a good Christmas night

    Christmas came and Christmas went
    Christmas that year was heaven sent
    Then daddy put on his gumboots
    And waited for the thaw back home in Dyess, Arkansas

    It's A Shame
    Composer(s): Lee Garrett; Stevie Wonder; Syreeta Wright
    Performer(s): The Spinners



    It’s a shame, the way you mess around with your man
    It’s a shame, the way you hurt me
    It’s a shame, the way you mess around with your man
    I’m sitting all alone, by the telephone
    Waitin’ for your call, when you don’t call at all!

    It’s a shame (Shame, ooh-ooh-ooh), the way you mess around with your man
    It’s a shame (Shame, ooh-ooh-ooh), the way you play with my emotions!
    It’s a shame (Shame, ooh-ooh-ooh), the way you mess around with your man
    You’re like a child at play on a sunny day
    First you play with love, and then you throw it away!

    Why do you use me, play to confuse me?
    How can you stand to be so cruel?
    Why don’t you free me from this prison?
    For I served my time as your fool!

    It’s a shame (Shame, ooh-ooh-ooh), the way you mess around with your man
    It’s a shame (Shame, ooh-ooh-ooh), the way you hurt me!
    It’s a shame (Shame, ooh-ooh-ooh), the way you mess around with your man
    I tried to stick with you, show you love so true
    But you won’t appreciate the love we try to make!

    Oh, it’s a, got to be a shame, uh!

    Why do you use me, play to confuse me?
    How can you stand to be so cruel?
    Why don’t you free me from this prison?
    For I served my time as your fool!

    Got to be a shame (Shame, ooh-ooh-ooh), the way you mess around with your man!
    Oh, it’s a shame (Shame, ooh-ooh-ooh), the way you hurt me!
    Oh, it’s a shame, baby, baby (Shame, ooh-ooh-ooh), the way you mess around with your man!
    You got my heart in chains, and I must complain!
    I just can’t think of cryin’, oh, lookin’ at the time!

    Oh...ho...ho! (Shame, ooh-ooh-ooh)
    It’s a shame, it’s a shame (Shame, ooh-ooh-ooh) the way you hurt me, yeah!
    Ooh... (Shame, ooh-ooh-ooh)
    Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta be a shame, oh, yeah!

    Ooh...!

    Composer(s): Joe Strummer; Tom Morello
    Performer(s): Joe Strummer



    Well it's a rockin' world, make no mistake about it
    It's a shockin' world, could be what's so great about
    It's a rockin' world, there ain't nothing fake about it

    Whoa whoa, now welcome to this Earth bro
    Whoa whoa, we're tryin' to find an answer
    Whoa whoa, we got a surface module and a belly-dancer
    On the sidewalk's earth
    A boy is tryin' to show a girl what he is worth
    Poke on the plaster, but he's still gonna
    Go right up and ask her

    Why is it barbaric is it, biological?
    Why is it kinetic is it asyphysiological?
    It's an epidemic, there's nothing logically
    Logical, logical, logical

    It's a rockin' world, make no mistake about it
    It's a shockin' world, could be what's so great about
    It's a rockin' world, there ain't nothing fake about it

    Now why do babies cry?
    I asked the cold today but all he did was fly
    And he took the cynic way
    The laws of chaos, left us all in disarray
    Now take the bumblebee, a lousy rotten bum
    Not a shred of money just a lazy buzzin' hum
    He takes all our honey and for the Garden of Eden people has got to
    pay, that's who...

    Well we go, back to base
    Can't make no error in tale of this place
    But home we're returnin' back to base, ase

    Can we be notified when, love comes of age
    Does a cell divide in the - in the initial phase
    Let's all coded by in the - DNA stage

    Well it's a rockin' world, make no mistake about it
    It's a shockin' world, that could be what's so great about it
    It's a rockin' world, there ain't nothing fake about it

    Christmas All Alone
    Performer(s): The Lettermen



    I'll spend Christmas all alone this year
    All alone and blue
    I'd be glad to walk the many miles just to be alone with you
    Folks spend Christmas in their homes each year round the Christmas tree
    Fireplaces, many happy faces all except for you and me
    It's Christmas time, my thoughts return to days gone by with you
    Now I'm alone, you're far away
    Can't help feeling kind of blue
    Only thing that keeps me warm is knowing that you feel the same
    For we know in June it won't be snowing on the day you take my name

    What a shame the night is ending, cross my heart I'm not pretending
    You look grand sitting in the moonlight
    Oh I'm in love there's no mistaking, can't you see my heart is breaking
    Must you go on this lovely June night

    It's a pity to say goodnight because I never saw stars so bright
    But if you gotta go home, you gotta go home, give me a goodnight kiss
    It's a pity to say farewell because the man in the moon won't tell
    But if you gotta go home,you gotta go home give me a goodnight kiss.

    How's about tomorrow night just you and me
    I'll be waiting for you darling underneath the apple tree

    It's a pity to say goodnight because I want you to hold me tight
    But if you gotta go home, you gotta go home give me a goodnight kiss
    It's a pity to say farewell because the man up in the moon won't tell, won't tell
    If you gotta go home, go home, go home give me a goodnight kiss

    How's about tomorrow night just you and me
    I'll be waiting for you darling underneath the apple tree

    It's a pity, pity just to say goodnight because I want you to hold me tight
    But if you gotta go home dear, you gotta go home dear, give me a goodnight kiss

    Christmas Ain't Christmas Dear Without You Composer(s): Buck Owens - Red Simpson Performer(s): Buck Owens



    I heard no Christmas carols as I walked down the street
    I heard no Merry Christmas from people I'd meet
    It seemed you've made the whole world blue
    Christmas ain't Christmas dear without you

    I talked to a snowman and to my surprise
    When I spoke of you he started to cry
    Now that's pretty sad to see a snowman turn blue
    Christmas ain't Christmas dear without you

    No Christmas ain't Christmas since you went away
    And now it seems like just any other day
    Yes you turned my whole world blue
    Christmas ain't Christmas dear without you

    Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) Composer(s): Jeff Barry - Ellie Greenwich - Phil Spector First release by: Darlene Love - 1963 Covered by multiple other artists



    They're singin' "Deck the Halls"
    But its not like Christmas at all
    I remember when you were here
    And all the fun we had last year

    (Christmas) Oh, the snow's coming down
    (Christmas) Now I'm watching it fall
    (Christmas) All the people around
    (Christmas) Baby please come home

    (Christmas) Now the church bells in town
    (Christmas) Oh, they're singing our song
    (Christmas) Oh, what a happy sound
    (Christmas) Baby please come home

    They're singing "Deck the Halls"
    But it's not like Christmas at all
    I remember when you were here
    Oh and all the fun we had last year

    (Christmas) Oh Now the snow's coming down
    (Christmas) Now I'm watching it fall
    (Christmas) All the people around
    (Christmas) Said Baby please come home
    Yeah won't you please come home

    They're singing "Deck the Halls"
    But it's not like Christmas at all
    I remember when you were here
    Oh and all the fun that we had last year

    (Christmas) Now the snow's coming down
    (Christmas) Oh I'm watching it fall
    (Christmas) All the people around
    Baby, baby, baby, please come home
    Now the snow's comin' down
    Baby please come home

    It's A Mystery
    Composer(s): Bob Seger
    Performer(s): Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band



    It's a myst'ry, how the heart beats
    How the sun shines, how our eyes meet
    It's a myst'ry, it's a wonder
    How we keep from sinkin' under
    It's a myst'ry

    All the nonsense set before us
    Supposed to shock us, but it bores us
    All the ennui, all the replays
    All the rewrites, all the "can't says"
    It's a myst'ry

    Electron guns fire images
    They end in interstellar space
    Within the year

    And through it all
    We dance and starve
    And burn and clear

    It's a myst'ry how they con us
    How they sneak 'til they're upon us
    All the anchors with their helmets
    Getting ratings with their zealots
    All the pundits, all the salesmen
    Selling snake oil to the nation
    All the specials, every re-run
    All the penguins getting well done
    It's a myst'ry

    It's a myst'ry how the heart beats
    How the sun shines, how our eyes meet
    It's a myst'ry, it's a wonder
    How we ever find each other
    It's a myst'ry

    C-h-r-i-s-t-m-a-s Composer(s): Jenny Lou Carson - Eddy Arnold First recording/First release by: Eddy Arnold, The Tennesee Plowboy and his Guitar - 1949 Covered by multiple other artists



    When I was but a youngster, Christmas meant one thing
    That I'd be getting lots of toys that day

    I learned a whole lot diff'rent when Mother sat me down
    And taught me to spell Christmas this way

    "C" is for the Christ Child born upon this day
    "H" for herald angels in the night
    "R" means our Redeemer
    "I" means Israel
    "S" is for the star that shone so bright
    "T" is for the tree wise men
    They who travelled far
    "M" is for the manger where He lay
    "A" is for all He stands for
    "S" means shepherds came
    And that's why there's a Christmas Day

    It's A Musical World
    Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse; Anthony Newley
    Performer(s): Anthony Newley; Petula Clark; Sammy Davis Jr.



    The world is made of music
    Never any symphony
    The sound surrounds
    Miracles of melody
    Are bound around us too

    It's a musical world
    Such a musical world

    Listen to the rhythm
    Of a storm in summer
    Hear the mellow melody
    When church bells chime
    "Once upon a time"

    It's a musical world
    Such a beautiful world

    Ding, dong, sing a song of spring and summer
    Bring some summer song and opera new
    I love music, and I know that you do too

    It's a musical world
    Such a beautiful world

    Yeah...

    The world was made for music
    Everything contributes to the rare concerto
    Elephants and butterflies have their concertos too

    It's a beautiful world
    It's a musical world

    Listen to the music of a lonely seashore
    Hear a certain company to speak up for
    Make it have an orchestra where every sound belongs

    It's a musical world
    Such a beautiful world

    Ding, dong, sing a song of spring and summer
    Sing some summer song and opera new
    I love music, and I know that you do too

    Yeah...

    It's a musical world
    [Fade to End]
    I love music, and I know that you to too
    Yeah...
    It's a musical world
    Such a beautiful world

    That's The Way It Goes
    Composer(s): Sidney Robin - Alec Wilder
    Performer(s): Peggy Lee



    That's the way it goes
    No one ever knows
    Just like that, it only took a minute
    And I belong to you

    You can never tell
    That's how fast I fell
    I just thought that there was nothing in it
    But that is far from true

    Now I thought that I was clever
    You couldn't take me by surprise
    But I found I'd be in love forever
    The moment I looked in your eyes

    That's the way it goes
    No one ever knows
    Here's my heart and you deserve to win it
    For that's the way it goes

    It's A Most Unusual Play
    Composer(s): Harold Adamson; Jimmy McHugh
    Performer(s): Allan Sherman



    It's a most unusual play
    Feel like throwing my tickets away
    'Cause the boy gets the boy
    And the girl gets the girl
    And it's way too far off Broadway
    It's a most unusual plot
    Which I've either blocked out or forgot
    I don't know what it means
    But they all wear blue jeans
    And they scratch themselves quite a lot
    There's no scenery, there's no lighting
    There's no costumes; oh, what art!
    If there only were no house lights
    I would sneak up the aisle and depart
    There's a most unusual scene
    Where this man dates this Xerox machine
    So his girlfriend gets mad
    And she murders the cad
    To the tune of "Begin the Beguine"
    In this most unusual, most unusual, most unusual play
    Oh, the language is a bit loose
    It's decidedly not Mother Goose
    Outside on the marquee
    This quotation you'll see
    "I was shocked!" and it's signed Lenny Bruce
    It's a play where something went wrong
    'Cause it's five hours, twelve minutes long
    If you sit there, my friend
    From beginning to end
    Then your bladder better be strong
    There are people hitting people
    There's a couple in a cage
    There's neurotics, there's narcotics
    And the bathroom is right on the stage!
    It's a great big critical smash
    And it's raking in all kinds of cash
    But the theater's appalling
    With things that are crawling
    I think I am getting a rash
    From this most unusual, most unusual, most unusual play

    That’s the story of my life
    That’s the difference between wrong and right
    But billy said, both those words are dead
    That’s the story of my life
