Toys For Tots
Composer(s): Sammy Fain; Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): Peggy Lee



The joy of living
Is in the giving
So let's give lots of toys for tots
Toys, toys, toys for tots
You can be a Santa
If you will lend a hand
Yessirree, there never will be an empty stocking in the land

"Some have too many
some haven't any
If those who have
give those who haven't
Oh, what a Christmas Day!
The Marine Reserve will help you
Will help you fill your sleigh
With lots and lots of toys for tots
So give a little toy today"

(Oh Why, Oh Why, Did I Ever Leave) Wyoming
Composer(s): Morey Amsterdam
Performer(s):
Dick Jurgens & His Orch.; Jerry Colonna


Oh! Give me back my prairie
with the cattle and wild game
Where the hills are nice and curvy 
and the women are the same
Where cowboys all yell "Whoopee!" while a lariat they twirl
And the timber wolves yell "Timber!" when they see a pretty girl

Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming?
Why, oh why did I ever have to go?
Oh why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming?
`Cause there's a sheriff back there lookin' for me high and low and
high and low and high and low ....

Back home in old Wyomin' folks are actin' mighty strange
Since they started social climbin' how they've changed the good old range
Our farm is now a dude ranch and there's carpet on the trails
The cowboys wear tuxedos and the horses all wear tails, Ooooh

Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming?
Why, oh why did I ever have to go?
Oh why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming?
`Cause there's a sheriff back there lookin' for me high and low and
high and low and high and low ....

My Uncle Max in Cheyenne he's honest as the sun
He worked six years in a bathhouse and he never took a one
The sheriff fin'lly got him and no more will Uncle roam
They caught him workin' in a bank and takin' samples home

Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming?
Why, oh why did I ever have to go?
Oh why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming?
`Cause there's a sheriff back there lookin' for me high and low and
high and low and high and low!

As recorded by Jerry Colonna:



Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming
Why, oh why, did I ever have to go
Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming
'Cause there is someone back there lookin' for me high and low and ....

Oooooh, give me back my prarie and my cattle and wild game
Where the hills are nice and curvy and the women are the same
Where skies are always bluer and the cowboys sound so sad
Where men are punchin' cattle and Mother's punchin' Dad

Oh why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming
Why, oh why, did I ever have to go
Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming
'Cause there is someone back there looking for me high and low and
high and low and ....

I used to live in Cheyenne, that's a lovely place to see
To ride along the rollin' plains just east of Laramie
The sheriff almost caught me and that's why I have to roam
He saw me workin' in a bank and takin' samples home

Oh why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming
Why, oh why, did I ever have to go
Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming
'Cause there's a sheriff back there lookin' for me high and low and
high and low

It Is No Secret 
Composer(s): Stuart Hamblen
First recording/First release by: Stuart Hamblen - 1950
Covered by multiple other artists



The chimes of time ring out the news
Another day is through
Someone slipped and fell
Was that someone you?

You may have longed for added strength
Your courage to renew
Do not be disheartened
For I have news for you

It is no secret what God can do
What He's done for others, He'll do for you
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do

There is no night for in His light
You never walk alone
Always feel at home
Wherever you may go

There is no power can conquer you
While God is on your side
Take Him at His promise
Don't run away and hide

It is no secret what God can do
What He's done for others, He'll do for you
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do

No Night So Long
Composer(s): Will Jennings; Richard Kerr
Performer(s): Dionne Warwick



An old friend told me that you just ran out of chances
One too many dances down the narrow street of time
Remember how we faced the world, like two tramps shining
Please, don't let that magic ever end
Don't forget what we learned living on the wind

No night so long that you can't find the day
no day so wrong that you can't find your way
Call on me like you used to do
I still can show you who you are

That day the long and dusty road had us both crying
We used up our last joke just to try to smile a again
And only now I find I know what we were learning
Though it's dark and you have traveled far
Ev'ry long night gives you one bright shining star

No night so long that you can't find the day
no day so wrong that you can't find your way
Call on me like you used to do
I can still show you who you are

Deep in the night you know that you'll find
Deep in the night you know that you'll find the way
No night so long that you can't find the day
no day so wrong that you can't find your way
Call on me like you used to do
I still can show you who you are
No night so long that you can't find the day
No day so wrong that you can't find your way

Don't Forget To Feed The Reindeer
Composer(s): Peggy Lee
Performer(s): Peggy Lee; The Lounge-O-Leers



Have you been a good little angel?
Santa Claus soon will be on his way

And he'll bring his eight little reindeer
Pulling the toys in his great big sleigh

So don't forget to feed the reindeer
Angels are friends of the reindeer too
And if you are a good little angel
Santa Claus will be good to you
Hear that jingle off in the distance
What is that happy sound I hear?

Could it be the spirit of Christmas
Santa Claus and his tiny reindeer

Oh don't forget to feed the reindeer
Angels are friends of the reindeer too
And if you are a good little angel
Santa Claus will be good to you

Here they come now up on the rooftop
Santa Claus' sleigh and his reindeer too

Hear those bells now, oh how they jingle
And he has toys in his bag for you

Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, and Vixen
Pulling that sleigh, oh I do believe

Cupid, Comet, Donner, and Blitzen
Always on time for Christmas Eve
Let's not forget to feed the reindeer
Angels are friends of the reindeer too
And if you are a good little angel
Santa Claus will be good to you

No More The Fool
Composer(s): Russ Ballard
Performer(s): Elkie Brooks; Anna Vissi



Just why I stayed around 
When all I found was a heartache 
I believed your every word 
Didn't know the hurt and pain that you'd make 

But why did it take so long 
Alas, now I've seen the light 
I found the heart to say 

No more the fool 
Who waits around 
Waitin' for you to bring me down 
Those days are gone now 

No more the nights 
Layin' awake 
Cryin' and waitin' for the day to break 

No more the sound as my dreams fall and hit the ground 
While I'm waitin' around 
No more the fool 

You thought I'd break 
Then you were wrong 
That I wouldn't see what's goin' on 
But I knew 

Here I am 
I'm alive 
And you'll see I'll survive 
Without you 

And I won't be the one who comes runnin' 
It ain't like it used to be 
It's your turn to run to me 

No more the fool ... 
All the nights I waited for you to call 
I waited for a sign that you would stay 
But it's so clear 
You didn't care at all 

No more the fool 

No more the fool 
Who waits around 
No more the fool 
No more the clown 
No more the fool 

No more the sight 
No more the sound 
And hit the ground 
No more the fool 

No more the fool ... 
No more the fool 
No more the sight 
No more the sound 
No more the fool

It Hurts To Be In Love
Composer(s): Howard Greenfield; Helen Miller
Performer(s): Gene Pitney



It hurts to be in love when the only you love
Turns out to be someone who's Not In Love With You
It hurts to love her so when deep down inside you know
She will never want you No Matter What You Do
And so you cry a little bit (it hurts to be in love)
Ah, I die a little bit (it hurts to be in love)
Day and night, night and day, it hurts to be in love this way
How can long can I exist wanting lips I've never kissed?
She gives all her kisses To Somebody Else
She thinks I'm just a friend, though it hurts I must pretend
The only way to keep her is Keep 'Er To Myself
And so I cry a little bit (it hurts to be in love)
Ah, I die a little bit (it hurts to be in love)
Day and night, night and day, it hurts to be in love this way

And so I cry a little bit (it hurts to be in love)
Ah, I die a little bit (it hurts to be in love)
Day and night, night and day, it hurts to be in love this way
It hurts to be in love, day and night, night and day
It hurts to be in love, night and day, day and night
It hurts to be in love, day and night, night and day

No More Mr. Nice Guy
Composer(s): Michael Bruce; Alice Cooper
Performer(s): Alice Cooper;
and various other artists



I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing
'Till they got a hold of me
I opened doors for little old ladies
I helped the blind to see
I got no friends 'cause they read the papers
They can't be seen with me
And I'm gettin' real shot down
And I'm feelin' mean
No more Mister Nice Guy
No more Mister Clean
No more Mister Nice Guy

They say he's sick, he's obscene
I got no friends 'cause they read the papers
They can't be seen with me
And I'm feelin' real shot down
And I'm, I'm gettin' mean
No more Mister Nice Guy
No more Mister Clean
No more Mister Nice Guy

They say he's sick, he's obscene
My dog bit me on the leg today
My cat clawed my eye
Mom's been thrown out of the social circles
And dad has to hide
I went to church incognito
When everybody rose, the Reverend Smithy
He recognized me and punched me in the nose
He said, no more Mister Nice Guy
No more Mister Clean
No more Mister Nice Guy
He said you're sick, you're obscene
No more Mister Nice Guy
No more Mister Clean
No more Mister Nice Guy
He said you're sick, you're obscene
scene, obscene
scene, obscene

The Christmas Spell
Composer(s): J. Palmer; Willard Robison
Performer(s): Peggy Lee



When you walk down the street
and a stranger you meet
smiles a 'how do you do'
You can tell
The Christmas Spell

Every heart heart gets a lift
when they buy that certain gift
for a somebody who loves so well
The Christmas Spell

You see frosty little noses
Red as little roses
Pressed on every toy store window pane

Once again you stop and mingle
in the spirit of Kris Kringle
Every leather jingle bell
Ringing happy Noel

This old world couldn't fail
If that feeling would prevail
Every day in the year
Life would be so swell
In every heart would dwell
The Christmas Spell

Once again you stop and mingle
in the spirit of Kris Kringle
Every leather jingle bell
Ringing happy Noel

This old world couldn't fail
if that feeling would prevail
Every day in the year
Life would be so swell
In every heart would dwell
The Christmas Spell

No More Lovers
Composer(s): Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup; A. Jackson
Performer(s): Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup



We won't be no more lovers, we gon' be old friends
We won't be no more lovers, we gonna be old friends
You can help me find a woman, I'll help you with your man
I was in love with you baby, you was in love with someone else
I was in love with you baby, you was in love with someone else
You know darn well that I loved you, and wanted you for myself
I even tried to love when I knew you was untrue
I even tried to love when I knew you was untrue
You went away and left me, I'll find someone who is true

It Hurts Me
((French Version: Ça Fait Mal (by Johnny Hallyday) - 1964)
Composer(s): Joy Byers - Charles E. Daniels
First release by: Elvis Presley - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



It hurts me to see him treat you the way he does
It hurts me to see sit and cry
When I know I could be so true
If I had someone like you
It hurts me to see those tears in your eyes

The whole town is talking, they're callin' you a fool
For listening to his same old lies
And when I know I could be so true
If I had someone like you
It hurts me to see the way he makes you cry

You love him too much, you're too blind to see
He's only playing a game
But he's never loved you
He never will
And darling, don't you know he will never change

Oh, I know he never will set you free
Because he's just that kind of guy
But if you ever tell him you're through
I'll be waiting for you
Waiting to hold you so tight
Waiting to kiss you goodnight
Yes, darling, if I had someone like you

No Moon At All
Composer(s): Redd Evans; Dave Mann
Performer(s): Julie London;
and various other artists



No moon at all, what a night
Even lightning bugs have dimmed their light
Stars have disappeared from sight
And there’s no moon at all
Don’t make a sound, it’s so dark
Even Fido is afraid to bark
What a perfect chance to park
And there’s no moon at all

Should we want atmosphere
Or inspiration, dear
One kiss will make it clear
That tonight’s the night 
And bright moonlight might interfere

No moon at all, up above
This is nothing like they told us of
Just to think we fell in love
And there’s no moon at all

Should we want atmosphere
Or inspiration, dear
One kiss will make it clear
That tonight’s the night 
And bright moonlight might interfere

Whatever It Is, I'm Against It
From the Marx Bros. film "Horse Feathers" (1932)
Composer(s): Harry Ruby; Bert Kalmar
Performer(s): Groucho Marx



I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway
Whatever it is, I'm against it!
No matter what it is
Or who commenced it
I'm against it!

Your proposition may be good
But let's have one thing understood
Whatever it is, I'm against it!
And even when you've changed it
Or condensed it
I'm against it!

I'm opposed to it
On general principles
I'm opposed to it!
(He's opposed to it)
(In fact, he says he's opposed to it!)

For months before my son was born
I used to yell from night to morn
"Whatever it is, I'm against it!"
And I've kept yelling
Since I first commenced it
"I'm against it!"

No Money Down
Composer(s): Chuck Berry
Performer(s): Chuck Berry;
and various other artists



As I was motivatin'
Back in town
I saw a Cadillac sign
Sayin' "No Money Down"
So I eased on my brakes
And I pulled in the drive
Gunned my motor twice
Then I walked inside
Dealer came to me
Said "Trade in you Ford
And I'll put you in a car
That'll eat up the road
Just tell me what you want
And then sign on that line
And I'll have it brought down to you
In a hour's time"

I'm gonna get me a car
And I'll be headed on down the road
Then I won't have to worry
About that broken - down, ragged Ford

"Well Mister I want a yellow convertible
Four - door de Ville
With a Continental spare
And a wire chrome wheel
I want power steering
And power brakes
I want a powerful motor
With a jet off - take
I want air condition
I want automatic heat
And I want a full Murphy bed
In my back seat
I want short - wave radio
I want TV and a phone
You know I gotta talk to my baby
When I'm ridin' alone"

Yes I'm gon' get that car
And I'm gon' head on down the road
Yeah, then I won't have to worry
About that broken - down, ragged Ford

"I want four carburetors
And two straight exhausts
I'm burnin' aviation fuel
No matter what that cost
I want railroad air horns
And a military spot
And I want a five - year guarantee
On everything I got
I want ten - dollar deductible
I want twenty dollar notes
I want thirty thousand liability"
That's all she wrote

I got me a car
And I'm headed on down the road
No money down
I don't have to worry
About that broken - down, ragged Ford

It Has Not Taken Long
Composer(s): Nico 
Performer(s): Nico



It has not taken long
It has not taken long
The hunters they are hiding from me
A wooden hand
A golden reed
A waiting end for them to bleed

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

It has not taken long
It has not taken long
To feast our naked eye upon
The open blade
The hungry beast have found her calling
Calling help me please

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

No Milk Today
Composer(s): Graham Gouldman
Performer(s): Herman's Hermits;
and various other artists



No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why

How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know the palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen

No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day

But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up two down

No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
As music played the faster did we dance
We felt it both at once, the start of our romance

How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen

No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn

But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up two down

No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why

How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen

No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day

But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town

Postman Blues
Composer(s): Dinah Washington; Tab Smith
Performer(s): Dinah Washington; Tab Smith



Baby, when you receive this letter, I hope it will explain
Yes baby, when you receive this letter, I hope it will explain
'Cause I was too unfaithful, now I'm home in bed and sick with pain!

All my friends told me that you were just a clown
Still I let your sweet words let my love come tumblin' down!
Yes I've got them, got those letter writin' blues
Forget the dirt you did me, you can have me any time you choose!

They say you're just a sweet man, just like a plum or prune
All you need to do is whistle and I'll be lovin' you till next June!
Yes I've got them, got them letter writin' blues
Forget the dirt you did me, you can have me any time you choose!

I wrote you six or eight times, or maybe three or four
The postman returned them to me, and said, "You're just a constant bore!"
Yes I've got them, got them letter writin' blues
Forget the dirt you did me, you can have me any time you choose!

No Mercy
Composer(s): The Stranglers
Performer(s): The Stranglers



Everyday you're working like a slave

Sweating buckets hoping that you get it right
Will it be as tough tomorrow
have to wait and see
Life shows no mercy

Everyday your love is getting warmer

Just look at her and I love her
did you get it right?
Will she soothe your brow with kisses only meant for thee?
She'll show no mercy
she'll show no mercy

And when you hold her close to you

Just when you're feeling good it's true
Life shows no mercy
life shows no mercy

Life shows no mercy
life shows no mercy

Everybody has some secret wishes

Just keep your fingers crossed
maybe they'll all come true
But don't worry if they just remain a fantasy
Life shows no mercy

Everybody seems the same all over

The search is on for love and comfort constantly
If it comes your way tomorrow count yourself lucky
Life shows no mercy
life shows no mercy

And when you hold her close to you
. . .
Life shows no mercy
life shows no mercy

life shows no mercy
no mercy
Life shows no mercy
no mercy
life shows no mercy
no mercy

Life shows no mercy
no mercy
life shows no mercy
no mercy

Life shows no mercy
no mercy
life shows no mercy
no mercy

It Happens To Be Me
Composer(s): Sammy Gallop; Arthur Kent
Performer(s): Nat King Cole
and multiple other artists



Someone longs for you and your caress
He's learning now how empty arms can be
Someone who used to know your kiss not long ago
That someone happens to be me

How he misses you and must confess
Without you he's like driftwood on the sea
He's just a dreamer who is still in love with you
That dreamer happens to be me

I'll never know just why we parted
It's more than I can comprehend
I only know when you departed
You started a night that has no end

Perhaps there'll come a time when you're alone
Your heart still haunted by a memory
If then you chance to find there's someone on your mind
I hope it happens to be me

Perhaps there'll come a time when you're alone
Your heart still haunted by a memory
If then you chance to find there's someone on your mind
I hope it happens to be me

I hope it happens to be me

No Mercy
Composer(s): Nils Lofgren
Performer(s): Nils Lofgren



Out for the first - the atmosphere is heavy
World title lays on the line
Strong and proud he is much older
I am the faster I’m in my prime

Third round late he starts to tire
Open cut over his left eye
Smelling blood attack is relentless
In the back seats I see his girl cry

Cry - No mercy, no quarter
No place to hide for me and the man
Lefts and rights never came in harder
No mercy, take it while you can - now!
No mercy take it while you can

Back in my corner they scream "No mercy!"
"Put him away, don’t let him recover!"
Someone’s eyes drills holes in my head
It is his proud determined mother

Cry - No mercy, no quarter
No place to hide for me or the man
Right and wrong never came in harder
No mercy, take it while you can - now!
No mercy, take it while you can

I wish another could do this thing for me
His eyes are flooded, doubt he can even see
I hungered this title but now it don’t seem right
I fight back tears while I destroy his life

Cry - No mercy, no quarter
No place to hide for me and the man
Lefts and rights never came in harder
No mercy , take it while you can - now!
No mercy take it while you can

Cry - No mercy, no quarter
No place to hide for me or the man
Right and wrong never came in harder
No mercy, take it while you can - now!
No mercy, take it while you can
