I'll Pin A Note On Your Pillow
Composer(s): Carol Berzas; Don Goodman; Nelson Larkin
Performer(s): Billy Joe Royal



It's just not working, we've both known for sometime
That old fire's been out for so long, we've just stopped trying
The only time we're touching is when we're passing in the hall
And yesterday's "I love yous" don't really matter at all

I might as well be leaving, I'm already out of your mind
Baby, go right on dreaming, your dreams just might come true this time
Tomorrow when you wake up, you'll be lying here all alone
But I'll pin a note on your pillow or you might not even notice I'm gone

I wish that we could go back and love like we did before
We've been, alone together so long I can't take any more
My body's crying, wake up, let me hold you one more time
But you just go right on sleeping, my heart won't let me change my mind

I might as well be leaving, I'm already out of your mind
Baby, go right on dreaming, your dreams just might come true this time
Tomorrow when you wake up, you'll be lying here all alone
But I'll pin a note on your pillow or you might not even notice I'm gone

But I'll pin a note on your pillow or you might not even notice I'm gone

Ma Chambrette
Performer(s): 
Salvatore Adamo


Chers amis je vous présente ma chambrette
Sur les murs il y a des fleurs c'est pas beau
Y a ses plantes qui me surveillent d'un air bête
Table et chaise lit armoire et rideaux

J'passe mon temps à regarder par la fenêtre
J'fais des maths oui je compte les oiseaux
J'passe en r'vue toutes les formes du verbe être
Être fort être libre être sot

C'était charmant d'regarder par la fenêtre
Les p'tits bateaux qui s'ennuie sur Lesco
Mais j'ai beau faire j'ai beau forcer mon être
C'est pas marrant de se croire matelot

C'est pas marrant d'regarder dans la rue
Les passants qui s'balladent librement
C'est l'ennui c'est l'envie qui vous tue
Pour vous apprendre à tuer le temps

C'est p'être charmant d'regarder par la fenêtre
Les p'tits bateaux qui s'ennuie sur Lesco
Mais j'ai beau faire j'ai beau forcer mon être
C'est pas marrant de ce croire matelot

Un beau jour j'foutrais l'camps de ma chambrette
J'irais loin oui très loin Sacodeau
Tout là-bas a l'autre bout de la planète
Ou il n'y a pas d'mur pas fenêtre pas rideaux

I'll Pick A Rose For My Rose
Composer(s): James Dean; Marv Johnson; William Weatherspoon
Performer(s): Marv Johnson



Rose, Ro-ose, Ro-o-ose
This is the last time I'll walk into this gar-arden
All alone without the one I lo-ove
For today is the day I'm gonna bring Rose back to stay
Oh I've waited patiently
Now the time is right for me
So I'll reach dow-ow-own
Right to the grou-ou-ound

And pick a rose for my Ro-ose
'Cause somehow I know she know-ows
This love deep in my heart is still ali-ive
I'll pick a rose for my Rose
'Cause today I'm gonna go
And bring her back to stay right by my side

I'm comin' Ro-o-ose, I'm comin' Ro-ose
Years ago-o when I was just a poor boy
And her weathly parents didn't fancy me-ee
So they sent my Rose away to a far off lonely place
But when it was time to lea-eave
My Rose cried out to me-ee
Remember me-ee-ee
That's why you see-ee-ee

I will pick a rose for my Rose
'Cause somehow I know she know-ows
This love deep in my heart is still ali-ive
I'll pick a rose for my Rose
'Cause today I'm gonna go
And bring her back to be right by my side

I'm comin' Ro-o-ose, I'm comin' Ro-ose
Now that I-I walk slowly from this garden
A train ticket held tightly in my ha-and
And somewhere patiently
My Rose is waiting there for me
So then we'll be alone
And I'll bring my baby home and be arou-ou-ound
For her surpri-ise

I'll pick a rose for my Rose
'Cause somehow I know she knows
That this love deep in my heart is still ali-ive
I'll pick a rose for my Rose
'Cause today I'm gonna go
And bring her back to be right by my side

I'm comin' Ro-ose, I'm comin' Ro-ose
'Cause this love deep in my heart is still ali-ive-a

Ma Bonne Étoile
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë;
Pace; Marissa Panzeri
Performer(s): Joe Dassin


J'allais au clair de lune
Au gré de ma fortune
Porte par tous les vents de l'univers
Comme un lampion de fête
Au dessus de ma tête
J'ai vu danser un point de lumière
Oh oh oh ma bonne étoile
Dans un'petite étincelle accrochée au ciel
J'ai vu un feu d'artifice
Grand comme un soleil
Et depuis ce temps-la. si j'ai l'air heureux
C'est que tu brilles nuit et jour
Dans le fond de mes yeux

Tu parles comme on chante
Tu marches comme on danse
Et tu me portes chance à chaque instant
Et me voilà roi mage
Au début d'un voyage
Qui ne finira qu'a la fin des temps
Oh oh oh ma bonne étoile
Je dors à la belle étoile au cœur de l'hiver
Et c'est toi qui me rechauffes
C'est toi qui m'eclaires
Et depuis ce temps-la si j'ai l'air heureux
C'est que tu brilles nuit et jour
Dans le fond de mes yeux

I'll Only Miss Her When I Think of Her
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; James Van Heusen
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



I'll only miss her, when I think of her
And I'll think of her, all the time
Likely I'll spend my days - hearing her turn of phrase
Things I found hard to praise - right now, would seem sublime

The truth is...

I'll Only miss her, when some stranger laughs
'Cause it's still her laugh - my hearts hears
Maybe in time - I guess, the longing will grow, the slightest bit less
And there will be moments - yes - when it disappears

I'll bet I'll forget her completely - in about a hundred years

Ma Blushin' Rosie (Ma Posie Sweet)
From the Broadway musical "Fiddle-Dee-Dee"
Composer(s): Edgar Smith; John Strombeg
Performer(s): Al Jolson;
and various other artists


There's a little bunch of sweetness
That I long to call my bride
And believe me I'm not happy
Lest my baby's by my side

Her baptismal name was Rosie
But she put's the rose to shame
And almost every night
You'll here me call her name

Rosie, you are my posie
You are my hearts bouquet
Come out here in the moonlight
There's something sweet, love
I wanna say

Your honey boy I'm waiting
Those ruby lips to greet
Don't be so captivating
Ma blushin' Rosie
Ma Posie sweet

Rosie, you are my posie
You are my hearts bouquet
Come out, here in the moonlight
There's something sweet, love
I wanna say

Your honey boy I'm waiting
Those ruby lips to greet
Don't be so captivating
Ma blushin' Rosie
Ma posie sweet


*****


Note: Al Jolson sang the repeat chorus as:

Rosie, you are my posie
You are my hearts bouquet
Come out, here in the moonlight
There's something sweet love
I'm gonna sing about my baby

Your honey, your boy I'm waiting
Those rubies, those lips to greet
Don't be so captivating
My blushin' rosie
My posie sweet

I'll never stop loving you
Whatever else I may do 
My love for you will live 
Till time itself is through

The night doesn't question the stars 
That appear in the skies 
So why should I question the stars 
That appear in my eyes 

Of this I'm more than just sure
My love will last and endure 
I'll never 
No I'll never stop loving you 

Of this I'm more than just sure 
My love will last and endure 
I'll never
No I'll never stop loving you

Ma belle amie
You were a child of the sun
And the sky and the deep blue sea
Ma belle amie
Après tous les beaux jours
Je te dis merci merci

Before we're through
I want to tell you that I adore you
And always do
That you amaze me by leaving me now
And start a-new
Ma belle amie I'm in love with you

Let the bells ring
Let the birds sing
Let's all give my substitute a big cheer
Let the bells ring
Let the birds sing
For the man after him waits here
For the man after him waits here

Ma belle amie
You were a child of the sun
And the sky and the deep blue sea
Ma belle amie
There was a time that you thought
That your only friend was me
You were the answer of all my questions
Before we're through
I want to tell you that I adore you
And always do
That you amaze me by leaving me now
And start a-new
Ma belle amie I'm in love with you

If you found someone new who means more than me to you
I'd never stand in your way
If you feel we must part, don't let pity rule your heart

But what is to be will be and I'll obey
I'll be blue when you go but I'll never let it show
I'd never stand in your way
I loved you much too much to ever lose you 
But what is to be will be and I'll obey
I'll be blue when you go but I'll never let it show
I'd never stand in your way

Ma Baker's Little Acre
Composer(s): John D. Loudermilk
Performer(s): John D. Loudermilk


Now a little old lady by the name of Ma Baker 
Lived out of town on one square acre
In a little white house with a picket fence all around
She had a kind and a gentle way till the day the TVA
Tried to make Ma Baker sell her little acre of land

They showed her a map of how the river ran 
And a sketch of a brand new dam
But Ma Baker wouldn't sell her little acre of land
She said Pa left this to me sonny and I wouldn't sell for love nor money
No sir Ma Baker's gonna keep her little acre of land

The next time they came they brought the sheriff
Found Ma a rockin' in an old porch chair
Just a knittin' and a rockin' out in the evening sun
She said I think you best to wait and don't just step through the picket gate
And on Ma's lap they noticed Pa's old shotgun

[Harmonica Solo]

Yeah now out in the middle of the brand new lake is a little island of one square acre
And Ma Baker's just as happy as she can be
And she can't swim but she can float and catch big bass from her motor boat
And when the wind ain't blowin' too much she can water ski
Yeah and Ma Baker still owns her little acre of land

I'll never smile again
Until I smile at you
I'll never laugh again

For tears would fill my eyes
My heart would realize
That our romance is through

I'll never thrill again
To somebody new
Within my heart
I know I will never start
To smile again
Until I smile at you

This is the story of Ma Baker
The meanest cat from ol' Chicago town

She was the meanest cat
In old Chicago town
She was the meanest cat
She really moved them down
She had no heart at all
No no no heart at all

She was the meanest cat
Oh she was really tough
She left her husband flat
He wasn't tough enough
She took her boys along
'Cos they were mean and strong

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die

They left a trail of crime
Across the U.S.A.
And when one boy was killed
She really made them pay
She had no heart at all
No no no heart at all

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die

She met a man she liked
She thought she'd stay with him
One day he formed with them
They did away with him
She didn't care at all
Just didn't care at all

Here is a special bulletin
Ma Baker is the FBI's most wanted woman
Her photo is hanging on every post office wall
If you have any information about this woman
Please contact the nearest police station ...

Don't anybody move! The money or your lives!

One day they robbed a bank
It was their last foray
The cops appeared too soon
They couldn't get away
And all the loot they had
It made them mighty mad
And so they shot it out
Ma Baker and her sons
They didn't want to hang
They died with blazing guns
And so the story ends
Of one who left no friends

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry

I’ll Never Say "Never Again" Again
Composer(s): Harry Woods
Performer(s): Dinah Shore 
and multiple other artists



I’ll never say “Never again” again
‘Cos here I am in love again
Head over heels in love again, with you

I’ll never say “Never kiss you” again
‘Cos here I’m kissing you again
That’s just the thing I said I’d never do

I walked away and said goodbye
I was hasty, wasn’t I
I missed you so I thought I’d die
But it’s all over now, so my head’s in the sky

I’ll never say “Never again” again
‘Cos here I am in love again
Head over hells in love again
With the same sweet you

Ma (He's/She's Making Eyes At Me)

Performer(s): Yusef Lateef;
and various other artists


Ma, he's making eyes at me
Ma, he's awful nice to me
Ma, he's almost breaking my heart
I'm beside him
Mercy! Let his conscience guide him!
Ma, he wants to marry me
Be my honey bee
Every minute he gets bolder
Now he's leaning on my shoulder
Ma, he's kissing me

Ma, he's making eyes at me
Ma, he's awful nice to me
Ma, he's almost breaking my heart
If you peek in, can't you see
I'm goin' to weaken
Ma, he wants to marry me
Be my honey bee
Ma, I'm meeting with resistance
I shall holler for assistance
Ma, he's kissing me

I’ll Never Quite Get Over You 
Composer(s): Arnold; Christian Charles; Martin; David; Morrow; Geoffrey Stanton
Performer(s): Billy Fury; Hep Stars



They say that I’ll forget you soon
That time can always heal the wound
I’d like to think they’re right
But the way I feel tonight
I’ll never quite get over you

And it’s at moments such as this
I think of how we used to kiss
And even in the end
If my broken heart should mend
I’ll never quite get over you

No other girl I meet
Can make my life complete
The way that you once used to do
For love may come and go
But in my heart I know
I’ll never quite get over you

You were so much a part of me
That from now on I can’t be free
And as the days go by
No matter how I try
I’ll never quite get over you

I’ll never quite get over you

M.T.A.
Composer(s): Bess Lomax Hawes;
Jacqueline Steiner
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio; Coyote Run 


Now let me tell you of the story
of a man named Charlie
On a tragic and fateful day
He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family
And went to ride on the M.T.A.

(chorus)
Well did he ever return? 
No he never returned
And his fate is still unlearned
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned

Charlie handed in his dime at the Kendell Square station
And he changed for Jamaica Plain
When he got there the conductor told him, "one more nickel"
Charlie couldn't get off that train

(chorus)

Now all night long Charlie rides through the station
Crying, "What will become of me?
How can I afford to see my sister in Chelsea
Or my cousin in Roxbury?"

(chorus)

Charlie's wife goes down to the Scolla Square station
Every day at a quarter past two
And through the open window she hands Charlie a sandwich
As the train comes rumbling through

(chorus)

Now you citizens of Boston, don't you think it's a scandal
How the people have to pay and pay?
Fight the fare increase, vote for Walter O'Brien
And get Charlie off the M.T.A.

(chorus)

I Know I'll Never Love This Way Again - 1978 (aka I'll Never Love This Way Again - 1981)
Composer(s): Will Jennings; Richard Kerr
First release by: Cheryl Ladd - 1978



You looked inside my fantasies and made each one come true
something no one else had ever found a way to do
I've kept the mem'ries one by one, since you took me in
and I know I'll never love this way again
I know I'll never love this way again
so I keep holdin' on before the good is gone
I know I'll never love this way again
hold on, hold on, hold on
A fool will lose tomorrow reaching back for yesterday
I won't turn my head in sorrow if you should go away
I'll stand here and remember just how good it's been
and I know I'll never love this way again
I know I'll never love this way again
so I keep holdin' on before the good is gone
I know I'll never love this way again
hold on, hold on, hold on
I know I'll never love this way again
so I keep holdin' on before the good is gone
I know I'll never love this way again
hold on, hold on

I know I'll never love this way again
so I keep holdin' on before the good is gone
I know I'll never love this way again
hold on, hold on ...

(Millions Of People) No One Like You
Composer(s): Pete Shelley
Performer(s): Pete Shelley


Stupid things keep on happening
Every single day
When I fall in love
It slips away
Finding out was so hard to take
There's no reason why
When I phoned you up
You said goodbye

You say love's dead and gone
I just carry on
What else can I do
Maybe I don't know right from wrong
Who knows who cares now
What else can I do

Yesterday I kept wishing that
You had changed your mind
Now I guess that it's
All up to you
Am I just today another one
That you've left behind
Or did you love me
With a love so true

I thought you and I were friends
Still you made me cry
What else can I do
'N' maybe love will find a way
Give me one more try
It's all up to you

How can you tell me that I must be dreaming
You're waiting around I've got nothing to do
So tired of waiting I've only one lifetime
There's millions of people but no one like you

I thought you and I were friends
Still you made me cry
What else can I do
'N' maybe love will find a way
Give me one more try
It's all up to you

How can you tell me that I must be dreaming
You're waiting around I've got nothing to do
So tired of waiting I've only one lifetime
There's millions of people but no one like you

(Marie's The Name Of) His Latest Flame
French Title: Sa Grande Passion
Composer(s): Doc Pomus; Mort Shuman
Performer(s): Elvis Presley; 
and various other artists


A very old friend came by today
'Cause he was telling everyone in town
About the love that he just found 
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

He talked and talked and I heard him say
That she had the longest blackest hair
The prettiest green eyes anywhere
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
He was gone but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry

Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
He was gone but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry

Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

Yes, Marie's the name of his latest flame

Marie's the name of his latest flame
