    Snowflakes And Teardrops
    Composer(s): Bob Feldman; Jerry Goldstein; Richard Gottehrer
    Performer(s): The Angels



    Snowflakes and teardrops and
    Heartaches that won't stop
    Because he went away
    My winter's here to stay
    And I'm alone

    (Snow falling outside and tears falling inside)
    I just can't help but cry
    While snowflakes fill the sky
    I keep wishing he were here with me

    Outside there's a winter wonderland
    Kids are laughing having fun
    While inside I'm having none
    Since my one and only one has left me

    Snowflakes and teardrops and
    heartaches that won't stop
    uuuhhh uuuuhhh uuuhhh uuuuhhh
    uuuhhh uuuuhhh uuuhhh uuuuhhh
    uuuhhh uuuuhhh

    Outside there's a winter wonderland
    Kids are laughing having fun
    I'm inside and having none
    Since my one and only one has left me

    Snowflakes and teardrops and
    Heartaches that won't stop
    Because he went away my winter's here to stay
    And I'm alone

    Yes I'm alone, so all alone
    uuuuhhh, uuuuhhh ah uuuuhhhh

    Pop Hates The Beatles
    Composer(s): Lou Busch; Richard M. Sherman; Robert B. Sherman
    Performer(s): Allan Sherman



    My daughter needs a new phonograph
    She wore out all the needles
    Besides, I broke the old one in half
    I hate the Beatles

    She says they have a Liverpool beat
    She says they used to play there
    Four nice kids from offa the street
    Why didn't they stay there?

    What is all the screaming about?
    Fainting and swooning
    Sounds to me like their guitars
    Could use a little tuning

    The boys are from the British Empire
    The British think they're keen
    If that is what the British desire
    God Save The Queen

    No daughter of mine can push me around
    In my house I'm the master
    But when the British come to town
    Gad, what a disaster

    Little girls in sneakers and jeans
    Destroyed the territory
    'Twas like some of the gorier scenes
    From The West Side Story

    Of course my daughter had to go there
    The tickets are cheap, she hollers
    I was able to pick up a pair
    For forty-seven dollars

    When the Beatles come on the stage
    They scream and shriek and cheer them
    Now I know why they're such a rage
    It's impossibe to hear them

    Ringo is the one with the drum
    The others all play with him
    It shows you what a boy can become
    Without a sense of rhythm

    There's Beatle books and T-shirts and rings
    And one thing and another
    To buy my daughter all of these things
    I had to sell her brother

    Back in 1776
    We fought the British then, folks
    Parents of America
    It's time to do it again, folks

    When they come back, here's how we'll begin
    We'll throw 'em in Boston harbor
    But please, before we toss 'em all in
    Let's take 'em to a barber

    Vivre
    Composer(s): Alain Morisod; Pierre Alain
    First performance by: Carole Vinci - 1978



    Pourquoi ne pas croire à la belle histoire
    Qui fait chanter le cœur et les saisons?
    Je veux tout oublier dans tes bras
    Et tout recommencer avec toi
    Partager les couleurs et les chansons

    Pourquoi ne pas suivre cette belle histoire?
    Pourquoi ne pas sourire au nouveau jour?
    Nous nous évaderons, mon amour
    Et nous retrouverons la chanson
    Que nous vivrons enfin à l'unisson

    Vivre, nous allons vivre un million de bonheurs
    Pour traverser les heures comme des oiseaux libres
    Vivre, je veux le vivre, ce rêve musical
    Pour cueillir les étoiles de l'amour

    Pourquoi ne pas croire à la belle histoire
    Qui fait chanter le cœur et le printemps?
    Ma vie a commencé avec toi
    Le soleil s'est levé dans la joie
    Tu m'as fait retrouver mon cœur d'enfant

    Vivre, je veux le vivre, ce rêve musical
    Pour cueillir les étoiles de l'amour
    Vivre, nous allons vivre
    Et renverser les heures
    Pour cueillir les étoiles du bonheur

    Pop A Top
    Composer(s): Nat Stuckey
    Performer(s): Jim Ed Brown;
    and various other artists



    Pop a top again
    I just got time for one more round
    Sit em up my friends
    Then I'll be gone
    Then you can let some other fool sit down

    I'd like for you'd to listen to a joke I heard today
    From a woman who said she was through and calmly walked away
    I'd tried to smile and did a while it felt so outta place
    Did you ever hear of a clown with tears drops streaming down his face

    Pop a top again
    I think I'll have another round
    Sit em up my friend
    Then I'll be gone and you can let some other fool sit down

    Home for me is misery and here I am wasting time
    Cause a row of fools on a row of stools is not what's on my mind
    But then you see her leaving me it's not what I perfer
    So it's either here just drinking beer or at home remembering her

    Pop a top again
    I think I'll have another round
    Sit em up my friend
    Then I'll be gone and you can let some other fool sit down
    Pop a top again

    Snowblind Friend
    Composer(s): Hoyt Axton
    First release by: Hoyt Axton - 1969
    Covered by multiple other artists



    You say it was this morning when you last saw your good friend
    Lyin' on the pavement with a misery on his brain
    Stoned on some new potion he found upon the wall
    Of some unholy bathroom in some ungodly hall
    He only had a dollar to live on 'til next Monday
    But he spent it on some comfort for his mind
    Did you say you think he's blind?

    Someone should call his parents, a sister or a brother
    And they'll come to take him back home on a bus
    But he'll always be a problem to his poor and puzzled mother
    Yeah he'll always be another one of us
    He said he wanted Heaven but prayin' was too slow
    So he bought a one way ticket on an airline made of snow
    Did you say you saw your good friend flyin' low

    I'd lay my head on the railroad tracks
    And wait for the Double E
    But the railroad don't run no more
    Poor, poor pitiful me

    Poor, poor pitiful me
    Poor, poor pitiful me
    These young girls won't let me be
    Lord have mercy on me
    Woe is me

    Well, I met a girl in West Hollywood
    I ain't naming names
    She really worked me over good
    She was just like Jesse James
    She really worked me over good
    She was a credit to her gender
    She put me through some changes, Lord
    Sort of like a Waring blender

    Poor, poor pitiful me
    Poor, poor pitiful me
    These young girls won't let me be
    Lord have mercy on me
    Woe is me

    Well, I met a girl at the Rainbow bar
    She asked me if I'd beat her
    She took me back to the Hyatt House
    I don't want to talk about it

    Poor, poor pitiful me
    Poor, poor pitiful me
    These young girls won't let me be
    Lord have mercy on me
    Woe is me

    Bad Old Days Composer(s): Stephanie de Sykes - Stuart Slater First performance by: Coco - 1978



    Remember me?
    I was tossed and turnin' like a ship without a sea
    I was lost for learnin' like a song without a key
    Remember when
    I was all alone without a soul to call my friend?
    Who'd have thought those days would ever end?

    Those were the bad old days
    Before I had your love to guide me
    Sad old days
    You set me free from all those bad old days
    You put all the good inside of me

    Those were the bad old days
    (Those were the sad old days)
    Before I had you there besides me
    Sad old days
    And can't you see? - you took the bad old days
    And you put all the good inside of me

    Remember who
    Walked into my life and put their foot inside my shoe
    Now what was just a place for one is home for two
    Remember why
    I'm gonna stay with you until the day I die
    We can watch the good old days go by

    Those were the bad old days
    Before I had your love to guide me
    Sad old days
    You set me free from all those bad old days
    You put all the good inside of me

    Oh dooby-doo...
    Dooby-dooby-dooby-doo...
    Aah...

    Those were the bad old days
    (Those were the sad old days)
    Before I had you there beside me
    Sad old days
    (Those were the sad old days)
    And can't you see you took the bad old days
    And you put all the good inside of me?

    (Those were the bad old days)
    (Those were the bad old days)
    You put all the good inside of me
    (Those were the bad old days)
    Ah...
    (Those were the bad old days)
    You put all the good inside of me

    Poor Whip, Poor Will (Move Over, Move Over)
    Composer(s): Jimmy Kennedy; Nat Simon
    Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney; The Bell Sisters



    Under the moonlight
    Out on the hill
    I hear the call
    Of a lone whip-poor-will

    He's got no love bird
    To sit on his knee
    And I got no darlin'
    So lonesome are we

    Poor Whip-Poor-Will
    We're both up a tree
    Move over! Move over!
    And make room for me

    Poor Whip-Poor-Will
    How blue can we be?
    Move over! Move over!
    And make room for me

    I had a sweetheart
    Sweet as could be
    Last night he said
    He'd go walkin' with me

    True, he went walkin'
    But with someone new
    And that's why I'm lonesome
    And feelin' like you

    and multiple other artists



    Conway:
    Well, you're the reason I'm ridin' around on big-capped tires

    Loretta:
    And you're the reason I'm hangin' our clothes outside on wires

    Both:
    And you're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'
    Oh, but looks ain't everything
    And money ain't everything
    But I love you just the same

    Conway:
    Well, you're the reason I changed to beer from soda pop

    Loretta:
    And you're the reason I never get to go to the beauty shop

    Both:
    And you're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'
    Oh, but looks ain't everything
    And money ain't everything
    But I love you just the same

    Both:
    I guess that we won't ever have everything we need
    'Cause when we get ahead, it's got a double mouth to feed

    Loretta:
    And that's the reason my good looks, and my figure is gone

    Conway:
    And that's the reason that I ain't got no hair to comb

    Both:
    And you're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'
    Oh, but looks ain't everything
    And money ain't everything
    But I love you just the same

    Loretta: Conway, why in the devil don't you go and shave, and put on a clean pair of pants?

    Conway: But Loretta, look at yourself
    I wish you'd take them curlers outta your hair and go put on a little make-up and get outta that housecoat before supper

    Loretta: Well let me tell you somethin' Conway
    Considering everything that I went through today, I look like a movie star

    Conway: Yeah, Ruth Buzzi

    Loretta: Thank you

    Conway: Besides that, all of our kids took after your part of the family anyways

    Loretta: Oh, they did, huh? What about the ones that's bald?

    Conway: Well, I guess you might say they took after me

    Poor Tom
    Composer(s): Jimmy Page; Robert Plant
    Performer(s): Led Zeppelin; Robert Walter



    Here's a tale of Tom
    Who worked the railroads long
    His wife would cook his meal
    As he would change the wheel

    Poor Tom, Seventh Son, Always knew what's goin on
    Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
    There ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom

    Worked for thirty years
    Sharing hopes and fears
    Dreamin' of the day
    He could turn and say

    Poor Tom, work's done, been lazin' out in the noonday sun

    Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom

    His wife was Annie Mae
    With any man a game she'd play
    When Tom was out of town
    She couldn't keep her dress down

    Poor Tom, Seventh Son, always knew what's goin on

    Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom

    And so it was one day
    He got wise to Annie Mae
    Tom stood, a gun in his hand
    And stopped her runnin' around

    Poor Tom, Seventh Son, gotta die for what you've done

    All those years of work are thrown away
    To ease your mind is that all you can say?

    But what about that grandson on your knee?
    Them railroad songs, Tom would sing to me

    Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom

    Keep-a Truckin'

    I've Never Gone To Bed With An Ugly Woman
    Composer(s): Royal C. Bannon
    Performer(s): Bobby Bare



    I've served my time losing track of the wine
    Looking through red eyes at the blues
    Holding on 'til the very last song
    Trying to make up my mind who to choose
    Chasing a dream in a whisky world
    Down the neon avenue

    Ah, I've never gone to bed with an ugly women
    But I've sure woke up with a few
    Ain't it funny how liquor and the flicker
    Of a candle make you see it from a different view
    Oh, I've never gone to bed with an ugly women
    But I've sure woke up with a few

    I've met more than one morning lying there
    Groaning, crying "Lord, what did I do"
    Hangin' my head as I slipped from her bed
    Trying hard not to leave any clues
    When I start out the evening I'm being selective
    But I'll take anything after two

    No, I've never gone to bed with an ugly women
    But I've sure woke up with a few
    Ain't it funny how liquor and the flicker
    Of a candle make you see it from a different view
    Oh, I've never gone to bed with an ugly women
    But I've sure woke up with a few
    No, I've never gone to bed with an ugly woman
    But I sure woke up with a few

    Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be
    Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be

    How can you tell me how much you miss me
    When the last time I saw you, you wouldn't even kiss me
    That rich guy you've been seein'
    Must have put you down
    So welcome back baby
    To the poor side of town

    To him you were nothin' but a little plaything
    Not much more than an overnight fling
    To me you were the greatest thing this boy had ever found
    And girl it's hard to find nice things
    On the poor side of town

    I can't blame you for tryin'
    I'm tryin' to make it too
    I've got one little hang up baby
    I just can't make it without you

    So tell me, are you gonna stay now
    Will you stand by me girl all the way now
    With you by my side
    They can't keep us down
    Together we can make it baby
    From the poor side of town

    (So tell me how much you love me)
    (Come be near to me and say you need me now)

    Oh, with you by my side
    This world can't keep us down
    Together we can make it baby
    From the poor side of town

    Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be

    Mirror, mirror on the wall
    The face you've shown me scares me so
    I thought that I could call your bluff
    But now the lines are clear enough
    Life's not pretty even though
    I've tried so hard to make it so
    Mornings are such cold distress
    How did I ever get into this mess

    I'm snowblind, can't live without you
    So fine I just can't get away
    Now I'm snowblind, snowblind, snowblind

    Harmless and innocent you devil in white
    You stole my will without a fight
    You filled me with confidence, but you blinded my eyes
    You tricked me with visions of Paradise
    Now I realize I'm

    Snowblind, can't live without you
    So fine I just can't get away
    Now I'm snowblind, snowblind, snowblind

    Mirror, mirror I confess
    I can't escape this emptiness
    No more reason to pretend
    Here comes that same old feeling again

    Snowblind, can't live without you
    So fine I just can't get away
    Won't you throw me a lifeline
    I'm going down for the third time
    I'm snowblind, and I can't get away

    I'm a poor, poor boy

    Spend it fast as I can
    I'm gonna go out and have a good time,
    raise some sand while I'm still a young man

    I got all the girls I need
    And a hotel over my head
    One thing I know, baby, I got clean sheets on my bed

    Well I ain't got no money
    But, baby, I don't care
    I'm gonna ride around this town in my new car lookin' like a millionaire

    Yes, I said I'm a poor, poor boy

    Oh Michel donde estas?
    yo no sé si tu recordarás
    el verano que juntos pasamos los dos
    y que nunca podré yo olvidar
    Oh Michel te perdi
    nunca mas he sabido de ti
    solo espero que un dia regreses a mi
    y de nuevo te pueda pedir
    Voulez vous danser avec moi

    Poor Old Slave
    Composer(s): George W.H. Griffin



    'Tis just one year ago today
    That I remember well
    I sat down by poor Nelly's side
    And a story she did tell
    'Twas 'bout a poor unhappy slave
    That lived for many a year
    But now he's dead, and in his grave
    No master does he fear

    Chorus:
    The poor old slave has gone to rest
    We know that he is free
    Disturb him not but let him rest
    'Way down in Tennessee

    She took my arm, we walk'd along
    Into an open field
    And there she passed to breathe awhile
    Then to his grave did steal
    She sat down by that little mound
    And softly whisper'd there
    Come to me, father, 'tis thy child
    Then gently dropp'd a tear

    (Chorus)

    But since that time how things have changed
    Poor Nelly that was my bride
    Is laid beneath the cold grave sod
    With her father by her side
    I planted there upon her grave
    The weeping willow tree
    I bathed its roots with many a tear
    That it might shelter me

    (Chorus)

    Klik op de afbeelding om de link te volgen

    Snowbird ((Dutch Versions: Zeemeeuw (Lize Marke) - 1970; Die Laaielichter - (Gerard Cox) - 1987)) Composer(s): Gene MacLellan First release by: Anne Murray - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists



    Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
    The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green
    The snowbird sings the song he always sings
    And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring

    When I was young my heart was young then, too
    Anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do
    But now I feel such emptiness within
    For the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win

    Spread your tiny wings and fly away
    And take the snow back with you
    Where it came from on that day
    The one I love forever is untrue
    And if I could you know that I would
    Fly away with you

    The breeze along the river seems to say
    That he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay
    So, little snowbird, take me with you when you go
    To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow

    Spread your tiny wings and fly away
    And take the snow back with you
    Where it came from on that day
    The one I love forever is untrue
    And if I could you know that I would
    Fly away with you

    Yeah, if I could I know that I would fl-y-y-y-y away with you

    Poor Ned
    Performer(s): Redgum



    Eighteen-hundred and 78 was the year I remember so well
    hey put my father in an early grave and slung my mother in gaol
    now I don't know what's right or wrong
    but they hung Christ on nails
    6 kids at home and 2 still on the breast
    they wouldn't even give us bail

    Chorus:

    Poor Ned, you're better off dead
    at least you'll get some peace of mind
    you're out on the track
    they're right on your back
    boy they're gonna hang you high

    You know I wrote a letter 'bout Stringy-Bark Creek
    so they would understand
    that I might be a bushranger
    but I'm not a murdering man
    I didn't want to shoot Kennedy
    or that copper Lonnigan
    he alone could have saved his life
    by throwing down his gun

    Chorus

    You know they took Ned Kelly
    and they hung him in the Melbourne gaol
    he fought so very bravely
    dressed in iron mail
    and no man single handed
    can hope to break the bars
    there's a thousand like Ned Kelly
    who'll hoist the flag of stars

    we sing...

    Chorus

    Die Laaielichter ((aka Zeemeeuw (Lize Marke) - 1970)) ((Adapted from: Snowbird - (Anne Murray) 1969)) Composer(s): Gene MacLellan - Gerard Cox Performer(s): Gerard Cox - 1987



    Toen jij me zei "ik hou niet meer van jou
    Jij bent om mee te leven veel te moeilijk voor een vrouw
    Ik ga hier weg, ik stik in deze hel"
    Toen brak je weliswaar m'n hart maar ik begreep het wel

    'k Zei tot mezelf "vooruit laat 'r maar gaan"
    Ik mag haar toch niet dwingen tot zo'n uitzichtloos bestaan
    Maar ik zag je gisteravond lopen in de stad
    En ik schrok toch even van de hufter die je bij je had

    Die laaielichter waar je nou mee gaat
    Dat is tuig van de richel, dat is gajes van de straat
    Een laaielichter is dat wat je wou
    En dan te denken dat ik nog steeds in lichterlaaie sta voor jou

    Ik ben wat ouder en ik word wat grijs
    Maar ach m'n hart is jong dus dat brengt mij niet van de wijs
    En hij is jonger, ja dat scheelt een jaar of tien
    Maar aan de kringen om z'n ogen is het zuipen al te zien

    Ik ben dan misschien moeders mooiste niet
    Maar schat, kijk eens naar hem, hij heeft een kop als een vergeiet
    'k Ben niet zo slank meer, ach denk niet dat ik dat niet zie
    Maar liefje, als hij hardloopt breekt z'n been af bij z'n knie

    Die laaielichter waar je nou mee gaat
    Dat is tuig van de richel, dat is gajes van de straat
    Een laaielichter is dat wat je wou
    En dan te denken dat ik nog steeds in lichterlaaie sta voor jou

    Je wilt geen schulden heb je mij zo vaak verteld
    Maar ach, van deze jongen krijgt de halve stad nog geld
    Je vroeg erom en dus liet ik je vrij
    Maar als je toch de goot in wilt, waarom dan niet met mij

    Die laaielichter waar je nou mee gaat
    Dat is tuig van de richel, dat is gajes van de straat
    Een laaielichter is dat wat je wou
    En dan te denken dat ik nog steeds in lichterlaaie sta voor jou

    Ja, weet dat ik nog steeds in lichterlaaie sta voor jou...

    Poor Mister Chisholm
    Composer(s): Bernie Hanighen; Johnny Mercer
    Performer(s): Fred Astaire



    Poor Mr. Chisholm
    Played on the mandolin
    But he couldn't win
    'Cause he tried to swing
    And he broke a string every time

    Poor Mr. Chisholm
    Just couldn't dig the jive
    When he did arrive at the proper note
    He arrived by boat every time

    He tried to jazz up his mandolin
    But never could quite control it
    He always brought Bach and Handel in
    When it took a lick, he always broke a pick

    Poor Mr. Chisholm
    You're quite a gay old blade
    With your serenade, but you're corny, Jack
    Better truck on back to Dubuque
    Get a Uke
    You disgrace your kin
    On the mandolin every time
