She was that kind of lady Times were hard But she could come curling 'round you Like fingers
But she'll leave you Crying in the night She will leave you Crying in the night She's going to leave you Crying in the night She's back in town And she's looking around
Say you needed someone to depend on You're all alone She's the only one Who can come take you far away Take your breath away
Come on baby She's the wrong kind a' girl She's a come-on lady She's a tarnished pearl She'll take your money She'll wreck your world Wreck your world She's a come-on baby Come-on girl A "come-on" girl Come on... girl She's back And she's looking around And she's looking around And she's looking around
(I Don't Want To Go To) Chelsea Composer(s): Elvis Costello Performer(s): Elvis Costello
Photographs of fancy tricks to get your kicks at sixty-six He thinks of all the lips that he licks And all the girls that he's going to fix She gave a little flirt, gave herself a little cuddle But there's no place here for the mini-skirt waddle Capital punishment, she's last year's model They call her Natasha when she looks like Elsie I don't want to go to Chelsea
Oh no it does not move me Even though I've seen the movie I don't want to check your pulse I don't want nobody else I don't want to go to Chelsea
Everybody's got new orders Be a nice girl and kiss the warders Now the teacher is away All the kids begin to play
Men come screaming, dressed in white coats Shake you very gently by the throat One's named Gus, one's named Alfie I don't want to go to Chelsea
Oh no it does not move me Even though I've seen the movie I don't want to check your pulse I don't want nobody else I don't want to go to Chelsea

Down in the meadow in a little bitty pool Were three little fishes and their mama fishy too "Swim" said the mommy fishy, "Swim if you can" And they swam and they swam all over the dam
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo And they swam and they swam all over the dam
"Stop!" said the mama fishy, "You'll get lost!" But the three little fishes didn't want to be bossed So the three little fishes set off on a spree And they swam and they swam right out to the sea
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo And they swam and they swam right out to the sea
"Whee!" yelled the fishes, "Oh! here's a lot of fun" "Swim in the sea till the day is done" So they swam and they swam, it was all, a lark Till all of a sudden they saw a shark
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo Till all of a sudden they saw a shark
"Whoa!" cried the fishes, "Oh! look at the whales" Quick as they could they turned on their tails Back to the pool in the meadow they swam And they swam and they swam back over the dam
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo And they swam and they swam back over the dam

You saw me crying in the chapel The tears I shed were tears of joy I know the meaning of contentment Now I am happy with the Lord
Just a plain and simple chapel Where humble people go to pray I pray the Lord that I'll grow stronger As I live from day to day
I've searched and I've searched But I couldn't find No way on earth To gain peace of mind
Now I'm happy in the chapel Where people are of one accord We gather in the chapel Just to sing and praise the Lord
Ev'ry sinner looks for something That will put his heart at ease There is only one true answer He must get down on his knees
Meet your neighbor in the chapel Join with him in tears of joy You'll know the meaning of contentment Then you'll be happy with the Lord
You'll search and you'll search But you'll never find No way on earth To gain peace of mind
Take your troubles to the chapel Get down on your knees and pray Your burdens will be lighter And you'll surely find the way

Du hast ja Tränen in den Augen ich weiß, die gelten mir allein Mir sagt das Lächeln deines Mundes es müssen Freudentränen sein
Lange war ich in der Ferne es war ein weiter Weg zu dir Mir sagt das Schlagen deines Herzens du gehörst noch heut zu mir
Und nahm - das Geschehn dir manchmal den Mut glaube daran, nun wird alles gut
Und die Tränen in den Augen die will ich niemals wiedersehn, denn das Lächeln deines Mundes, ist ja tausendmal so schön
Und nahm - das Geschehn dir manchmal den Mut glaube daran, nun wird alles gut
Und die Tränen in den Augen die will ich niemals wiedersehn denn das Lächeln deines Mundes ist ja tausendmal so schön

Please help me, I'm falling
In love with you
Close the door to temptation
Dont let me walk through
Turn away from me, darling
I'm begging you to
Please help me, I'm falling
In love with you
I belong to another
Whose arms have grown cold
But I promised forever
To have and to hold
I can never be free, dear
But when I'm with you
I know that I'm losing
The will to be true
Please help me, I'm falling
And that would be sin
Close the door to temptation
Don't let me walk in
For I mustn't want you
But, darling, I do
Please help me, I'm falling
In love with you

Crying For The Carolines Composer(s): Sam H. Lewis; Joe Young; Harry Warren Performer(s): Guy Lombardo and multiple other artists
Big town you lured me Big town you cured me Tho' others hate to say goodbye to you I'm leavin' but I'll never sigh for you Big town you robbed me of ev'ry joy I knew
Where is the song I had in my heart That harmonized with the pines Anyone can see what's troublin' me Cryin' for the Carolines Where is the brook that kisses the lane Covered with "Glory Vines" Anyone can see what's troublin' me I'm crying for the Carolines How can I smile mile after mile There's not a bit of green here Birdies all stay far far away They're seldom ever seen here Where is the gal that I used to meet Down where the pale moon shines Anyone can see what's troublin' me I'm crying for the Carolines
Small town you've sold me Small town you'll hold me You said that I'd have nothing but regret I've cried the blues to ev'ry one I've met Small town you gave me all that I'll ever get

When I'm riding round the world And I'm doing this and I'm signing that And I'm trying to make some girl, who tells me Baby, better come back maybe next week 'Cause you see I'm on a losing streak I can't get no Oh, no, no, no Hey, hey, hey That's what I say. I can't get no, I can't get no I can't get no satisfaction, no satisfaction No satisfaction, no satisfaction

Crying And Laughing Composer(s): Chris de Burgh Performer(s): Chris de Burgh
Searchlights, rain on the road Waiting for the airport limousine Your time in this foreign land Is nearly over, I'll never forget how
Last night, after he called You held me like you'd never let me go But your eyes are happy now And you are beautiful, you're ready to leave me
Homeward, back to your world Back to the one who is there Go now, but go in love For it's the only way
And you'll be crying, laughing Half a world away You'll be crying, laughing For the love we have When you go away...
Long ride, holding her hand Looking all the words we cannot speak One mile to the boulevard And the aeroplane that's waiting to take you
Homeward, back to your land Back to the one who is there Go now, but go in love For it's the only way
And you'll be crying, laughing Half a world away You'll be crying, laughing For the love we have But you must go Crying, laughing Half a world away You'll be crying, laughing Don't forget me love When you go away...

A stick a stone It's the end of the road
It's the rest of the stump It's a little alone
It's a sliver of glass It is life, it's the sun
It is night, it is death It's a trap, it's a gun
The oak when it blooms A fox in the brush
The knot in the wood The song of the thrush
The wood of the wind A cliff, a fall
A scratch, a lump It is nothing at all
It's the wind blowing free It's the end of a slope
It's a beam, it's a void It's a hunch, it's a hope
And the riverbank talks Of the water of March
It's the end of the strain It's the joy in your heart
The foot, the ground The flesh, the bone
The beat of the road A slingshot stone
A fish, a flash A silvery glow
A fight, a bet The range of the bow
The bed of the well The end of the line
The dismay in the face It's a loss, it's a find
A spear, a spike A point, a nail
A drip, a drop The end of the tale
A truckload of bricks In the soft morning light
The shot of a gun In the dead of the night
A mile, a must A thrust, a bump
It's a girl, it's a rhyme It's the cold, it's the mumps

Here's to the maid who steals a kiss and stays to steal another Here's to the maid who steals a kiss and stays to steal another She's a boon to all man kind She's a boon to all man kind She's a boon to all man kind For soon she'll be a mother!

Crying over you Crying over you Yes, now you're gone And from this moment on I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying

Yo estaba bien por un tiempo volviendo a sonreír Luego anoche te vi tu mano me tocó y el saludo de tu voz Y hablé muy bien y tú sin saber que he estado llorando por tu amor llorando por tu amor Luego de tu adiós sentí todo mi dolor Sola y llorando, llorando, llorando No es fácil de entender que al verte otra vez yo esté llorando
Yo que pensé que te olvidé pero es verdad, es la verdad que te quiero aun más mucho más que ayer Dime tú que puedo hacer ¿No me quieres ya? Y siempre estaré llorando por tu amor llorando por tu amor Tu amor se llevó todo mi corazón Y quedo llorando, llorando, llorando, llorando por tu amor
