Say Man
Composer(s): Ellas McDaniel
Performer(s): Bo Diddley



(Alternate lines spoken by Bo Diddley and Jerome Green):

Say man
What's that boy?
I want to tell you 'bout your girlfriend
What about my girl?
Well, you don't look strong enough to take the message
I'm strong enough
I might hurt your feelings
My feelings are already hurt by being here with you
Well, I was walking down the street with your girl the other day
Ah-ha
And the wind was blowin' real hard
Is that right?
And the wind blew her hair into my face
Ah-ha
You know what else happened?
What happened?
The wind blew her hair into her face
Yeh?
And we went a little further; you wanna hear the rest of it?
I might as well
The wind blew her hair into the street!
Ok; since you told me about my girl, I'm gonna tell you about yours 
I was walking down the street with your girl
Yes?
I took her home, for a drink, you know
Took her home?
Yeh, jus' for a drink
Oh
But that chick looked so ugly, she had to sneak up on the glass to get a drink of water!
You've got the nerve to call somebody ugly 
why you so ugly the stork that brought you in the world oughta be arrested!
That's alright; my momma didn't have to put a sheet on my head so sleep could slip up on me!
Look-a here!
What's that?
Where are you from?
South America
What's that?
South America
You don't look like no South American to me
I'm still from South America
What part?
South Texas!
Where are your workin' boots at?
I've got 'em on
Those aren't no boots you got on; those broguettes!
Hey, look-a here!
What's that?
I've bin tryin' to figure out what you is
I already figured out what You is!
What's that?
You that thing I throw peanuts at!
Look-a here!
What's that?
You should be ashamed of yourself
Why?
Calling people ugly
I didn't call you ugly
What you say?
I said you was ruined, that's all!
You know somethin'?
What?
You look like you've bin whooped with a ugly-stick!
Hey! I ain't got nothin' to do with it, but I beat the fellah right...!

Old Sam's Christmas Pudding
Composer(s): Marriott Edgar
Performer(s): Stanley Holloway



It was Christmas Day in the trenches
In Spain in Penninsular War
And Sam Small were cleaning his musket
A thing as he'd ne're done before

They'd had 'em inspected that morning
And Sam had got into disgrace
For when sergeant had looked down the barrel
A sparrow flew out in his face

The sergeant reported the matter
To Lieutenant Bird then and there
Said Lieutenant 'How very disgusting'
The Duke must be told of this 'ere'

The Duke were upset when he heard
He said, 'I'm astonished, I am
I must make a most drastic example
There'll be no Christmas pudding for Sam'

When Sam were informed of his sentence
Surprise, rooted him to the spot
'Twas much worse than he had expected
He though as he'd only be shot

And so he sat cleaning his musket
And polishing barrel and butt
While the pudding his mother had sent him
Lay there in the mud at his foot

Now the centre that Sam's lot were holding
Ran around a place called Badajoz
Where the Spaniards had put up a bastion
And ooh...! what a bastion it was

They pounded away all the morning
With canister, grape shot and ball
But the face of the bastion defied them
They made no impression at all

They started again after dinner
Bombarding as hard as they could
And the Duke brought his own private cannon
But that weren't a ha'pence o' good

The Duke said, 'Sam, put down thy musket
And help me lay this gun true'
Sam answered, 'You'd best ask your favours
From them as you give pudding to'

The Duke looked at Sam so reproachful
'And don't take it that way,' said he
'Us Generals have got to be ruthless
It hurts me more than it did thee'

Sam sniffed at these words kind of sceptic
Then looked down the Duke's private gun
And said 'We'd best put in two charges
We'll never bust bastion with one'

He tipped cannon ball out of muzzle
He took out the wadding and all
He filled barrel chock full of powder
Then picked up and replaced the ball

He took a good aim at the bastion
Then said 'Right-o, Duke, let her fly'
The cannon nigh jumped off her trunnions
And up went the bastion, sky high

The Duke, he weren't 'alf elated
He danced around trench full of glee
And said, 'Sam, for this gallant action
You can hot up your pudding for tea'

Sam looked 'round to pick up his pudding
But it wasn't there, nowhere about
In the place where he thought he had left it
Lay the cannon ball he'd just tipped out

Sam saw in a flash what 'ad happened
By an unprecedented mishap
The pudding his mother had sent him
Had blown Badajoz off map

That's why fuisilliers wear to this moment
A badge which they think's a grenade
But they're wrong... it's a brass reproduction
Of the pudding Sam's mother once made

Say It With Music

Performer(s): Dick Haymes

Say it with music
Beautiful music
Somehow they’d rather be kissed
To the strains of Chopin or Liszt

A melody mellow
Played on a cello
Helps Mister Cupid along
So say it with a beautiful song

Played on a cello
Helps Mister Cupid along
So say it with a beautiful song

Old Fashioned Christmas
Composer(s): Jimmy Martin; Paul Williams
Performer(s): Jimmy Martin



I can see the holly in the window
Decorations on the tree
Stockings hung by the fireplace
Hung there with tenderness and glee
Soon old santa will be coming
There'll be lots of presents neath the tree
Back home at this old fashion Christmas
The whole family will make it complete

Yes this time of year is rather special to me
When the snow whitens the mountains
The valleys and the trees
Memories form a picture in my mind from days of old
Of an old fashion Christmas
And the family together back at home
I can see my sisters and my brothers, John & Roy
Everyone so happy and all so full of joy

Daddy and mother admire each one of us so dear
And the children are playing together
And all of them so full of cheer
Yes this memory of home in my heart
Is a memory that time will never take away
Because it lives all over again each year on Christmas day

So let me say to you,
If you are home or faraway
I hope you'll have an old fashion Christmas
And a Happy New Year's Day
Soon old santa will be coming
There'll be lots of presents neath the tree
Back home at this old fashion Christmas
The whole family will make it complete

Say It Isn't So
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Julie London



Say it isn't so
Everyone is saying
You don't love me
Say it isn't so

Everywhere I go
Everyone I know

Whispers that you're growing tired of me
Say it isn't so
People say that you

Found somebody new
And it won't be long
Before you leave me
Say it isn't true

Say that everything is still okay
That's all I want to know

And what they're saying
Say it isn't so

Old Days, Old Times, Old Friends
Composer(s): Ray Parker
Performer(s): Freddy Cole



Holidays when they're near
Bring back thoughts we hold dear
Of old days, of old times and old friends

With each gift that is bought
Sent with it tender thoughts
Of old days, of old times and old friends

Wishing you the best is not enough on such a day
So I pray that you
Find all in life that's bright and gay

It's that time of the year
When each heart sheds a tear
For old days, for old times and old friends

It's that time of the year
When each heart sheds a tear
For old days, for old times and old friends
For old days, for old times and old friends

[Say it isn't so]

[Say it isn't so]

Say it isn't so painful to tell me that you're dissatisfied
Last time I asked you I really got a lame excuse
I know that you lied
Now wicked things can happen...you see 'em goin' down in war
But when you play in a quiet way that bites it even more
[Say it]
Tell me what you want yeah I'll do it baby I promise right now
[Say it]
Who propped you up when you were stopped
Low motivation had you on the ground
I know your first reaction you slide away hide away goodbye
But if there's a doubt maybe I can give out a thousand reasons why
You have to say it isn't so...
[it isn't so]
I say it isn't so [it isn't so]
I say it isn't so [it isn't so]
I say it isn't so [it isn't so]
[Say it]
We like to be the strangers at the party, two rebels in a shell
[Say it]
You like to move with the best of them you know we move so well
Don't need someone to lean on. I know that there's an open door
But if I'm faced with being replaced I want you even more 
So baby say it isn't so...

[it isn't so] 
I say it isn't so [it isn't so]
I say it isn't so [it isn't so] 
I say it isn't so [it isn't so]

Oh don't you say

Oh you know I want to make you ...

(It Must've Been Ol') Santa Claus
Composer(s): Harry Connick Jr.
Performer(s): Harry Connick Jr.



I think I saw ol' Santa through my window Christmas eve
My eyes were really droopy but I really do believe
It must've been ol' Santa 'cause I saw his big red hat
And I know my mom and dad can't fly like that!

And then I heard some footsteps in the hall outside my door
The same ol' Christmas trick my dad had played since I was four
He stands outside my bedroom yelling "Ho! Ho! Ho!" because
He knows I don't believe in Santa Claus

I think my daddy sees me
Peeking from my door
But he pretends he's Santa anyway
Every year he tries to fool me
But I'm a big boy now I don't believe in Santa or his sleigh…
No way!

So I went back to my bed and I curled up nice and tight
I stared out my window and looked into the night
And then, all of a sudden, through my window I could see
Santa Claus was flying by and smiling at me

Santa Claus, Santa Claus
It must've been ol' Santa Claus
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
Happy "Ho! Ho! Ho!" to you

Say It Every Day
Composer(s): J. Watson; E. Mckay
Performer(s): Reggie Goff



When you're in love it's wonderful
Remember to keep it that way
Tell her you think she's wonderful
Say it every day

Nothing is so deplorable
To find love and throw it away
Tell her that she's adorable
Say it every day

Don't take her love for granted
Although you may know it is there
Each little seed that's planted
Needs such tender care

You know your love will never die
But she may not see it that way
So tell her your love will never die
Say it every day

You know your love will never die
But she may not see it that way
So tell her your love will never die
Say it every day
Won't you say it every day

Say I Won't Be There

Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
You can tell them
I'm not going anywhere
Yesterday was dreaming
But my dream came tumbling down

Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
If you see my darling out there in the crowd
Say I still remember promises we vowed
Yesterday was dreaming
But my dream came tumbling down

Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
Bring me back my darling
Be my friend for life
I don't want no new lover
I just want a true lover

Call the boys and tell them
I won't spoil their fun
Everyone there dancing
But I'm the lonely one
Yesterday was dreaming
But my dream came tumbling down

Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
Bring me back my darling
Be my friend for life
Oh, I don't want no new lover
I just want a true lover

Call the boys and tell them
I won't spoil their fun
Everyone there dancing
But I'm the lonely one
Yesterday was dreaming
But my dream came tumbling down

Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
I won't be there

Say goodnight, little one
Save some fun for tomorrow
Wave a bye-bye to your light
For your light is sleepy too

For your toys are in bed
Now they're resting and dreaming
Snuggle tight, say goodnight
For it's time you should be dreaming too

Say goodnight to the Moon
For it soon will be leaving
Say goodnight to the stars
They are twinkling just for you

For your toys are in bed
Now they're resting and dreaming
Snuggle tight, say goodnight
For it's time you should be dreaming too
Goodnight baby

Say Goodbye To Hollywood
(German Version: So Ist Eben Hollywood - 1979)
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel - 1976
and multiple other artists



Bobby's driving through the city tonight
Through the lights
In a hot new rent-a-car
He joins the lover in his heavy machine
It's a scene down on Sunset Boulevard

Say goodbye to Hollywood 
Say goodbye my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby

Johnny's taking care of things for a while
And his style is so right for troubadors 
They got him sitting with his back to the door 
Now he won't be my fast gun anymore

Say goodbye to Hollywood 
Say goodbye my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby

Moving on is a chance that you take everytime you try to stay together
Say a word out of line and you find that the friends you had are gone
Forever...forever
So many faces in and out of my life
Some will last, some will just be now and then
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes 
I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again

Say goodbye to Hollywood 
Say goodbye my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby

Moving on is a chance that you take everytime you try to stay together
Say a word out of line and you find that the friends you had are gone
Forever...forever
So many faces in and out of my life
Some will last, some will just be now and then
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes 
I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again

O Rejoice, Ye Christians, Loudly
Composer(s): Christian Keimann



Hallelujah

Oh rejoice, ye Christians, loudly
For your joy is now begun
Wondrous things our God hath done
Tell abroad His goodness proudly
Who our race hath honour'd thus
That he deigns to dwell with us

Joy, O joy, beyond all gladness
Christ hath done away with sadness
Hence, all sorrow and repining
For the Son of grace is shining

See, my soul, thy Saviour chooses
Weakness here and poverty
In such love He comes to thee
Nor the hardest couch refuses
All He suffers for thy good
To redeem thee by His blood

Joy, then, joy beyond all gladness
Christ hath done away with sadness
Hence, all sorrow and repining
For the Sun of grace is shining

Lord, how thall I thank Thee rightly
I acknowledge that from Thee
Every blessing flows to me
Let me not forget it lightly
But to Thee through all things cleave
So shall heart and mind receive

Joy, yea, joy beyond all gladness
Christ hath done away with sadness
Hence, all sorrow, all repining
For the Sun of grace is shining

Jesu, guard and guide Thy members
Fill Thy brethren with Thy grace
Hear their prayers in every place
Quicken now life's faintest embers
Grant all Christians, far and near
Holy peace, a glad New Year

Joy, O joy, beyond all gladness
Christ hath done away with sadness
Hence, all sorrow, all repining
For the Sun of grace is shining
