Well away down yonder on the Candy Creek I wait a lot of fiddles on my wagon seat I tune up the fiddle and I rosin' that bow and I play a little tune wherever I go Sleepy eyed John better get your britches on sleepy eyed John better tie your shoe Sleepy eyed John you better get your bitches on Try to get to heaven fore the devil gets to you
Well sleepy eyed John he stalked a goose that goose it flapped but couldn't get loose Said John to the goose well you better be still I'm gonna miss my supper and tea if you will Sleepy eyed John...
Well sleepy eyed John he had one wooden leg wadn't nothin' but a little wooden peg With one shoe off and one shoe on He'd do the double shuffle till the cows come home Sleepy eyed John...
Well over in the hickory and down in the pine The racoon laughs and the hound dog whines And the hound dog whines and the racoon laughs And they cross that river in a minute and a half Sleepy eyed John...

Chi Sarà Con Te
Composer(s): Enrico Polito - Giancarlo Bigazzi - T. Savio
First performance by: Massimo Ranieri - 1973
Come al nostro primo appuntamento un anno fa Oggi aspetto un'altra e tutto si ripeterà Camminiamo un poco e mentre prendo la sua mano Il cuore mi domanda piano
Chi sarà con te, forse la sua mano, stringerà la tua Chi sarà, sarà, magari è emozionato come io con lei Non parliamo più, io m'avvicino e sfioro le sue labbra ma Penso a chi sarà con te
Lucide vetrine, specchi per gli innamorati Cinema da pochi soldi, strade sconosciute Lei che ti assomiglia un poco e il fuoco si riaccende Ma un po' di nostalgia mi prende
Chi sarà con te, chi ti stringerà forte come me
Chi sarà, sarà, cosa importa ormai, se l'ho voluto io Caro amore mio, mentre io ti penso, chi sarà con te
Sleepwalk Composer(s): Santo Farina; Johnny Farina; Ann Farina First release by: Santo & Johnny - 1959 Covered by multiple other artists
Sleep walk Instead of dreaming I sleep walk 'Cause I lost you And now what am I to do What to do Can't believe that we're through I don't care how much you tell me
Sleep talk 'Cause I miss you I sleep talk While the memory of you Lingers like a song Darling, I was so wrong But I'll be right someday
The night Fills my lonely place I see your face Spinning through my brain I know I miss you so I still love you And it drives me insane
Sleep walk Every night I just sleep walk And when you Walk inside the door I will sleep walk no more
Sleep walk Every night I just sleep walk And when you Walk inside the door I will sleep walk no more
I will sleep walk no more I will sleep walk no more

Dr. Frank-N-Furter: I'll tell you once, I won't tell you twice You'd better wise up, Janet Weiss Your apple pie don't taste too nice You'd better wise up, Janet Weiss
I've laid the seed, it should be all you need You're as sensual as a pencil Wound up like an 'E' or first string When we made it, did you hear a bell ring? You got a block, well take my advice You'd better wise up, Janet Weiss The Transducer will seduce ya
Janet: My feet! I can't move my feet! Dr. Von Scott: My wheels! My God, I can't move my wheels! Brad: It's as if we're glued to the spot! Dr. Frank-N-Furter: You are! So quake with fear, you tiny fools! Janet: Oh, we're trapped! Dr. Frank-N-Furter: It's something you'll get used to A mental mind-fuck can be nice Dr. Van Scott: You won't find Earth people quite the easy mark you imagine This sonic transducer - it is, I suppose, some kind of Audio-vibratory, physiomolecular transport device Brad: You mean...

Dr. Frank-N-Furter: Planet, schmanet, Janet! You'd better wise up, Janet Weiss You'd better wise up Build your thighs up You'd better wise up
Sleeping Bag Composer(s): Billy Gibbons; Dusty Hill; Frank Beard First release by: ZZ Top - 1985
When it's cold outside and you want to sleep in go for a pallet that's so nice and thin Zip it on around while it's on the ground spread it out and lay it on down Slip inside my sleeping bag slip inside my sleeping bag
You're afraid of the dark, baby, no need to be shy We'll talk about some lovin' while we look at the sky Don't be hesitating, it'll be alright we'll tuck it in until it's clean out of sight Slip inside my sleeping bag slip inside my sleeping bag
Let's go out to Egypt 'cause it's in the plan sleep beside the pharoahs in the shifting sand We'll look at some pyramids and check out some heads Oh, we'll whip out our mattress 'cause there ain't no beds Slip inside my sleeping bag slip inside my sleeping bag
Un Train Qui Part Composer(s): Boris Bergman; Bernard Liamis First performance by: Marie - 1973
Un billet de train froissé dans une poche Avec dans une main un livre de poche Elle n'a que dix-huit ans, une grande valise Des yeux bleus sur un train qui s'approche
Un train qui part, c'est un peu comme une maison Un train qui part Pour celui qui n'a jamais connu de maison Un train qui part Un train qui part, c'est un peu comme une chanson Un train qui part Pour celui qui n'entend pas chanter de chansons À son départ
Le train bat la campagne l'emmenant vers Paris Que pourra-t-elle y faire pour gagner sa vie? Elle ne sait pas grand-chose, elle n'a jamais rien fait Sinon de quitter ceux qu'elle aimait
Un train qui part, c'est un peu comme une maison Un train qui part Pour celui qui n'a jamais connu de maison Un train qui part Un train qui part, c'est un peu comme une chanson Un train qui part Pour celui qui n'entend pas chanter de chansons À son départ
Un train qui part, c'est aussi le train de l'espoir Un train qui part Pour celui qui va trouver l'autre Qui l'attend devant la gare Un train qui part, c'est un peu comme leur chanson Un train qui part Où tout finit et commence, comme la romance Dans une gare
Un train qui part, c'est aussi le train de l'espoir Un train qui part Pour celui qui va trouver l'autre Qui l'attend devant la gare Un train qui part, c'est un peu comme leur chanson Un train qui part
Planet Of Women Composer(s): Frank Beard; Billy Gibbons; Dusty Hill Performer(s): ZZ Top; Doogie White; The Winters Brothers Band
What can I do, I'm a nervous wreck? There's girls everywhere, I better go and check Check it out I can't tell a diamond from a hole in the ground They all got my head spinning round and round Planet of women, oh yeah The planet of women, oh yeah It's driving me insane
They start by acting just a little discreet Then they're in the skies and they're in the streets You can find them in cars or a hotel lobby they're easy to find, just look for a body Planet of women, oh yeah Just a planet of women, oh yeah It's driving me insane
If you have the answer, drop me a line today or send a straight jacket something in a shade of gray I think I've sprained my brain 'cause it won't unwind Every day it's man against man on the planet of women, oh yeah Just a planet of women, oh yeah It's driving me insane it's driving me insane
Sleep, My Little Jesus (Traditional) Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald
Sleep, my little Jesus On Thy bed of hay While the shepherds homeward Journey on their way Mother is Thy shepherd And will her vigil keep Did the voices wake Thee? O sleep, my Jesus, sleep!
Softly sleep, sweetly sleep My Jesus, sleep!
Sleep, my little Jesus While Thou art my own! Ox and ass Thy neighbors Shalt Thou have a throne? Will they call me bless? Shall I stand and weep? Be it far, Jehovah! O sleep, my Jesus, sleep!
Softly sleep, sweetly sleep My Jesus, sleep!
Sleep, my little Jesus Wonder-baby mine! Well the singing angels Greet Thee as divine Through my heart, as heaven Low the echoes sweep Of glory to Jehovah! O sleep, my Jesus, sleep!
Planet Earth Composer(s): Simon LeBon; Nick Rhodes; Andy Taylor; John Taylor; Roger Taylor Performer(s): Duran Duran
Only came outside to watch night fall with the rain I heard you making patterns rhyme like Some new romantic looking for the TV sound I'll see you're right some other time love
Look now look all around there's no sign of life Voices another sound can you hear me now this is planet earth You're looking at planet earth Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is planet earth
My head is stuck on something precious let me know If you're coming down to land is there Anybody out there trying to get through My eyes so cloudy I can't see you
Look now look all around there's no sign of life Voices another sound can you hear me now this is planet earth You're looking at planet earth Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is planet earth
Look now look all around there's no sign of life Voices another sound can you hear me now this is planet earth You're looking at planet earth Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is planet earth Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop calling planet earth Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop looking at planet earth Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is planet earth
