Stool Pigeon Composer(s): August Darnell Performer(s): Kid Creole & the Coconuts; Irving Joseph
There's a gentleman that's going 'round Turnin' the joint upside-down Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja He's an old ex-con that's been away Now he's back, no-one's safe Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja
'If you wanna squeal', said the F.B.I. 'We can make a deal, make it worth your while' So he told them all and in return He got a credit card and a Thunderbird And the maximum security, even after plastic surgery 'So, go on and squeal', said the F.B.I. 'We can make a deal, make it worth your while'
There's a gentleman that's going 'round Turnin' the joint upside-down Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja He's an old ex-con that's been away Now he's back, no-one's safe Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja
After all the talk, then they wired him And he took a walk with his crooked friends And they joked about the good old days And he recorded it on a reel of tape He caught the mug who did the forgery And the babe in charge of larceny So the F.B.I., they rewarded him 'Cause they like a guy who will stab a friend
There's a gentleman that's going 'round Turnin' the joint upside-down Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja He's an old ex-con that's been away Now he's back, no-one's safe Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja

'If you wanna squeal', said the F.B.I. 'We can make a deal, make it worth your while' So he told them all and in return He got a credit card and a Thunderbird He got a spankin' new identity And a condo' down in Miami He bought a plane, a boat and jewellery But he couldn't buy any company
There's a gentleman that's going 'round Turnin' the joint upside-down Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja He's an old ex-con that's been away Now he's back, no-one's safe Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja

You've got me dangling on a string Please don't let me drop My life will surely stop 'Cause I'm trapped in a dream of needing you so My heart's in a noose and I can't break loose
I'm not half the man that I used to be, and I'll admit it Your love has become a habit to me, and I can't quit it Won't you take this half a man and make this man whole again?
You've got me dangling on a string Please don't let me drop 'Cause you're everything I've got 'Cause I'm trapped in a dream of needing you so The feeling is strong and I can't let go
Every time I phone, your number's changed or disconnected You have made my life a book of games -- I feel so rejected Girl, you've got the best of me, now come and take the rest of me
You've got me dangling on a string Please don't let me drop You're everything I've got 'Cause I'm trapped in a dream of needing you so My heart's in a noose and I can't break loose
Girl, my nights are so lonely Ooh, I'm needing you only
I only drink enough from your loving cup to keep me thirsty Girl my need for you is oh so strong until it hurts me
You've got me dangling on a string Please don't let me drop You're everything I've got 'Cause I'm trapped in a dream of needing you so The feeling is strong and I can't let go

I got stones in my passway and my road seems dark at night I got stones in my passway and my road seems dark at night I have pains in my heart, they have taken my appetite

(You've Been Quite A Doll) Raggedy Ann Composer(s): Red Lane Performer(s): Little Jimmy Dickens
You sure have been quite a doll, Raggedy Ann Yes, quite a doll But I didn't really know you until I started making these trips up here to talk to you And now I'm beginning to see more and more why my baby loved you so much Why, Raggedy Ann, sometimes I'd almost swear that you're just about as much alive as I am When I hug you up close to me I feel every ounce of the warm glow of love that she must've felt And you know what, Raggedy Ann I'd give anything I owned in this world If I knew just half of the memories that have passed through those little black button eyes of yours Hid themselves in their tear stained stuff
Well I bet your just busting out with little old childhood secrets that could really set a lonely man's heart aglow Sometimes I still have to laugh the way you had to sample all of her food And see all of her little new dresses And answer a thousand questions It's really a small wonder that you're all in one piece The way she used to drag you around by one leg everywhere she went But you didn't seem to mind 'cause you always had that big ole smile on your face And You know something, Raggedy Ann I bet that smile has dryed more tears and cured more little hurts then I could ever hope to kiss away
And I'll tell you something else That big smile has given me strength to face some pretty trying times myself And I want to thank you again, Raggedy Ann For helping me raise her after her Momma died Somehow you just stepped right into her Momma shoes And just that much further into our hearts And that year of the rains, remember One night the fever took my baby You just laid right there beside her While I did everything I could, right up to the end And since then its just been me and you, Raggedy Ann Just me and you
But you know the years haven't seemed to bother you too much Course, you're a little faded here and there from the wind and rain But that heartwarming charm and that spark of love seems stronger now then it ever did And look at me, why I barely made it up the hill today Look Raggedy Ann, I can't even brush the dirt from my knees So don't look for me tomorrow, I won't make it I'd like to take you with me, Raggedy Ann But I know you'll be happier right here Watching over my baby and keeping her warm Well, I've got to leave you now, I gotta go And about the only thing that comes to my mind to say to you is "God Bless You" And you sure have been quite a doll, Raggedy Ann Yes sir, quite a doll
(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care From the film "Jailhouse Rock" Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller Originally performed by: Elvis Presley Covered by various other artists
You don't like crazy music You don't like rockin' bands You just wanna go to a movie show And sit there holdin' hands You're so square Baby, I don't care
You don't like hotrod racin' Or drivin' late at night You just wanna park where it's nice and dark You just wanna hold me tight You're so square Baby, I don't care
You don't know any dance steps that are new But no one else could love me like you do, do, do, do
I don't know why my heart flips I only know it does I wonder why I love you, baby I guess it's just because You're so square Baby, I don't care Baby, I don't care Baby, I don't care Baby, I don't care
I don't know why my heart flips I only know it does I wonder why I love you, baby I guess it's just because You're so square Baby, I don't care Baby, I don't care Baby, I don't care, care, care I don't care, care, care

Gone is your smiling face 'Cause you're not around anymore But the sound of your laughter Still fills this empty place 'Cause you're always in my heart
Gone is the tender way You used to whisper How much you care But the sound of your whisper Still echoes lovely in the air 'Cause you're always in my heart
Though I removed Your picture from the wall Nothing's changed For your image still remains
In my heart from you It can't seem to part Though gone is your warm embrace But your memory I can't erase
'Cause you're always in my heart 'Cause you're always in my heart
There'll be trains of blossoms (there'll be trains of blossoms) There'll be trains of music (there'll be music) There'll be trains of trust, trains of golden dust Come along and surry on sweet trains of thought
Surry on down Can you surry, can you surry Surry down to a stoned soul picnic Surry down to a stoned soul picnic
There'll be lots of time and wine Red yellow honey, sassafras and moonshine Red yellow honey Sassafras and moonshine (moonshine)
Believe Again Composer(s): Ronan Keating - Martin Michael Larsson - Lars Halvor Jensen First performance by: Brinck - 2009
You made it so easy to fall I could not stand at all I saw you beside me You never saw me there at all
I promised you all this I made plans thinking this was it I never imagined I'd find you Lose myself instead
I never had a picture of an end
And I... I wanna believe in love I wanna believe in something bigger Than the two of us, yeah... I... I wanna breathe again I wanna go back to the days The days I had my innocence I wanna believe again
I picked up the pieces And put them back where they belong But something is missing Though I look the same, I'm not that strong But I'm gonna learn to trust again
And I... I wanna believe in love I wanna believe in something bigger Than the two of us (The two of us) And I... I wanna breathe again I wanna go back to the days The days I had my innocence I wanna believe again
For without love, what do we become? I never had a picture of an end
And I... I wanna believe in love I wanna believe in something bigger Than the two of us (The two of us) I... I wanna breathe again I wanna believe I wanna believe I wanna believe again

(You really) Rock Me
Take them for the ride Let them feel the energy you can provide Roll it through the times Make it feel like real emotion this time around
You're so physical very intellectual Can't stop asking why Running with the changes I'm a social institution Don't stop driving them wild, wild, wild

Touching with your eyes Make contact for the moment Where you think you'll survive Take them for the ride Although young Tomorrow wants to know your surprise
