Hello! Boys, I'm Back Again Composer(s): Harry Von Tilzer Performer(s): Dan W. Quinn
Hello boys remember when I said goodbye to you I got married but it didn't take and I am through Though love is blind my eyes were opened on my wedding day I found that she had seven kids and each one had his day When the preacher made us one she thought She was the one and I was just a nun
Hello boys, I'm back again You know how glad I am to meet you greet you I'm through with matrimony I'm dodging alimony Hip hooray, say, the world began today For I don't have to go to bed at nine With her icy feet upon my spine No more sneaking home at three Going through the third degree Hello boys, I'm back again
I have lived a dog's life since my wedding day you see Yes they must have handed out a dog license to me Instead of wedding cake I must have eaten lemon pie I had her life insured but just for spite she wouldn't die She missed me round the house at eight But never missed me when she threw a plate
Hello boys, I'm back again You know how glad I am to meet you greet you I'm through with matrimony I'm dodging alimony Hip hooray, say, the world began today For I fed chickens that would lay for me And I also fed her family I can pick a chicken too Not the kind that lay for you Hello boys, I'm back again
Home sweet home, a grand old song, I sing it when I can But the guy who wrote it never was a married man I used to stay at home all day and hold her hand you see For if I didn't hold it she'd let something fly at me One day her mother came with us to dwell The landlord raised the rent and I raised, well
Hello boys, I'm back again You know how glad I am to meet you greet you I'm through with matrimony Those wedding bells are phony Hip hooray, say, the world began today No more commuting to that old resort Where henpecking was my indoor sport If some chicken's in distress You can give her my adress Hello boys, I'm back again
He Hit Me (And It Felt Like A Kiss) Composer(s): Gerry Goffin; Carole King Performer(s): The Crystals; and various other artists
He hit me And it felt like a kiss He hit me But it didn't hurt me
He couldn't stand to hear me say That I'd been with someone new And when I told him I had been untrue
He hit me And it felt like a kiss He hit me And I knew he loved me
If he didn't care for me I could have never made him mad But he hit me And I was glad
Yes, he hit me And it felt like a kiss He hit me And I knew I loved him And then he took me in his arms With all the tenderness there is And when he kissed me He made me his
7th Wonder Composer(s): Philip Vella - Gerard James Borg First performance by: Ira Losco - 2002
Seven degrees I'm down on my knees Waiting for the man to put me under his spell
Seven o' five He walks into sight Givin' me the eye, he lifts my spirits high
His passion burns and my luck takes a turn I'm reborn and alive with his love to survive
Is it good? Is it bad? Am I simply going mad? Is it fiction or fact? Am I really losing tact? Is he magical, logical, natural? I wonder He's got the makings of my seventh wonder Ooh hoo... hoo... hoo...
Seventy three kisses for me That whisper through the silence his feelings for me Softly he dips my cherry-red lips In the essence of a hope on which my love can float
His passion burns and my luck takes a turn I'm reborn and alive with his love to survive
Is it good? Is it bad? Am I simply going mad? Is it fiction or fact? Am I really losing tact? Is he magical, logical, natural? I wonder He's got the makings of my seventh wonder
On seven seas we sail on this dream Turning it into virtual reality Reality
Is it good? Is it bad? Am I simply going mad? Is it fiction or fact? Am I really losing tact? (Is he magical?) Magical (Logical, natural? I wonder) He's got the makings of my seventh wonder
Am I weak? Am I strong? In his arms do I belong? I could climb mountain high For his love I'd learn to fly Is he magical, logical, natural? I wonder He's got the makings of my seventh wonder (Is he fiction or a matter of fact?) Seventh wonder (Is he fiction or a matter of fact?) Seventh wonder
Hello Walls Composer(s): Willie Nelson Performer(s): Willie Nelson; and various other artists
Hello, walls - (hello) (hello) How'd things go for you today Don't you miss her Since she up and walked a way And I'll bet you dread to spend Another lonely night with me Lonely walls I'll keep you company
Hello, window - (hello) (hello) Well I see that you're still here Aren't you lonely Since our darlin' disappeared Well, look here, is that a teardrop In the corner of your pane Now, don't you try To tell me that it's rain
She went away and left us all alone The way she planned Guess we'll have to learn to get along Without her if we can
Hello, ceiling - (hello) (hello) I'm gonna stare at you awhile You know I can't sleep So won't you bear with me awhile We must all stick together or else I'll lose my mind I've got a feelin' She'll be gone a long, long time
He Had A Long Chain On Composer(s): Jimmie Driftwood Performer(s): Jimmie Driftwood; and various other artists
One night as I lay on my pillow Moonlight as bright as the dawn I saw a man come walkin' He had a long chain on I heard his chains a-clankin' They made a mournful sound Welded around his body Draggin' along on the ground
He had a long chain on He had a long chain on He had a long chain on
He came and stood by my window He looked at me and he said I am so tired and hungry Give me a bite of your bread He didn't look like a robber He didn't look like a thief His voice was as soft as the moonlight A face full of sorrow and grief
He had a long chain on He had a long chain on He had a long chain on
I went into my kitchen Fetched him a bowl full of meat A drink and a pan of cold biscuits That's what I gave him to eat Though he was tired and hungry A bright light came over his face He bowed his head in the moonlight He said a beautiful grace
He had a long chain on He had a long chain on He had a long chain on
I got my hammer and chisel Offered to set him free He shook his head and said softly I guess we had best let it be When he'd finished his supper He thanked me again and again Though it's been years since I've seen him Still hear him draggin' that chain
He had a long chain on He had a long chain on He had a long chain on
Spinning Around (I Must Be Falling In Love) Composer(s): Donald McPherson - Luther Simmons Jr. - Tony Silvester Performer(s): The Main Ingredient
I'm spinning around and around ooh I'm walking on cloud nine I'm just about to blow my cool If I don't unwind
I'm spinning around Spinning around Spinning around Spinning around I must be falling in love Baby I must be falling in love 'Round and around and around
I'm spinning around I can't stop I've lost my self-control I'm spinning around 'til I drop I'm whipped down to the soul
I'm spinning around Spinning around Spinning around Spinning around I must be falling in love Baby I must be falling in love
Turning around I'm upside-down Like a feather swift The wind will blow my mind The wind will blow my mind Won't let me stop
Spinning around Spinning around Spinning around Spinning around I must be falling in love Baby I must be falling in love I'm falling I must be falling in love Baby I must be falling in love
He Don't Love You (Like I Love You) Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield; Calvin Carter; Jerry Butler Performer(s): Tony Orlando
Chorus: He don't love you like I love you If he did, he wouldn't break your heart He don't love you like I love you He's tryin' to tear us apart
Fare thee well, I know you're leavin' (I know you're leavin') For the new love that you've found The handsome guy that you've been dating, whoa I got a feelin' he's gonna put you down.....'cause
Chorus
He uses all the great quotations Says the things I wish I could say Whoa, but he's had so many rehearsals Girl, to him it's just another play.....but wait
When the final act is over And you're left standing all alone When he takes his bow and makes his exit Girl, I'll be there to take you home
He don't love you (and he never will) like I love you If he did, he wouldn't break your heart Oh, he don't love you, girl, like I love you He's tryin' to tear us apart
Whoa, he don't love you like I love you If he did......
I Can't Live Without Music Composer(s): Ralph Siegel - Bernd Meinunger First performance by: Corinna May - 2002
You're my song in the morning, you're the rhythm of my heartbeat at night And the sound of love I hear in your voice keeps on touching me deep inside You are the air that I breathe and the gentle tune of whisperin' trees You're the only melody that's in my soul and in my mind all the time
I can't live without music, only you keep me goin' along I can't live without music and the power that's deep in your song You're the one and only thing I couldn't do without Makes me wanna sing and dance and shout
We can't live without music, we can't live without music It's a rainbow in the night, turns darkness into light It's everything we really need We can't live without music, and if ever we lose it That's when everybody, just everybody, starts getting the blues (We can't live without music) 'cause it's freedom to me and to you
So let the music touch your heart in times when men are worlds apart 'Cause only love can heal the dream that's hidden in our souls And hand in hand we'll walk along, we'll be united by a peaceful song And we'll live all together
(We can't live without music, we can't live without music) I can't live without music, I can't live without music And if anybody, just anybody, is asking me why Music makes me feel like flyin', gives me hope when I'm a-cryin' I believe without it I would die
Hello 'Tucky Composer(s): Buddy DeSylva; James Hanley; Joseph Meyer Performer(s): Al Jolson
Like all Kentucky boys longing for the city joys I left the farm and started to roam Like all Kentucky boy get sick of all the city noise I heard Kentucky calling me home Any thrill you get when you are leaving Seven times the thrill when you return
You're saying Hello, `Tucky, `Tucky, hello Hello `Tucky, why did I go? What I've been through to get to you Now I have found you Let me put my arms around you Shady bowers, valleys and hills Pretty flowers, nothing but thrills I'm glad I went astraying To get that kick of saying Hello, `Tucky, hello
Hello, `Tucky, `Tucky, hello Hello `Tucky, why did I go? What I've been through to get to you Now I have found you Let me put my arms around you Shady bowers, valleys and hills Pretty flowers, nothing but thrills I'm glad I went astraying To get that kick of saying Hello, `Tucky, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello `Tucky, `Tucky, hello Hello `Tucky, why did I go? What I've been through to get to you Now I have found you Let me put my arms around you Shady, shady bowers, valleys and hills Pretty flowers, nothing but thrills I'm glad I went astraying To get that kick of saying Hello, `Tucky, hello
He Doesn't Care (But I Do) Composer(s): Robin Grean; Kevin DiSimone Performer(s): Barry Manilow
So all alone Little girl blue You tell me the tale And stand there crying I'm here for you You know that I care Listening to you Inside I'm dying Your heart may be breaking But my heart is breaking too
He doesn't care if you're all alone But I do He doesn't care if you come back home But I do, yes I do Why can't you feel it too
I'm your best friend A brother you say Hurting me so To see your sorrow Knew all along He's not for you Sadness and tears But tomorrow You'll see how I need you And maybe you'll need me too
He doesn't care if he breaks your heart But I do He doesn't care if you fall apart But I do
Oh, don't throw your love away On someone who doesn't deserve it If you belonged to me I'd love you more each day I'd take you and make you believe what I say
Spinning Composer(s): Benjamin Orr - Diane Grey Page Performer(s): Benjamin Orr
What am I to do about this? Who am I to you?

Hello Trouble Composer(s): Eddie McDuff; Orville Couch Performer(s): Buck Owens; and various other artists
Woke up this mornin', happy as could be I looked out my window, what's that I see Coming' up the sidewalk, just as plain as day Well here comes trouble that I never thought I'd see since you went away
Hello trouble come on in Well you talk about heartaches where in the world you been Well, I ain't had the miseries since you been gone Well hello trouble, trouble, trouble Welcome home
We'll make a pot of coffee and you can rest your shoes And you can tell me them sweet lies and I'll listen to you Well it's just a little part of, part of the life we'd live But I'd rather have a little bit of trouble than to never know the love you give
Hello trouble, come on in Well you talk about heartaches, where in the world you been Ain't had the miseries since you been gone Well hello trouble, trouble, trouble Welcome home
Il Faut Du Temps (Je Me Battrai Pour Ça) Composer(s): Patrick Bruel - Marie-Florence Gros - Rick Allison First performance by: Sandrine François - 2002
Il faut du temps pour apprendre à sourire Pour apprendre à grandir au milieu d'un combat Il faut du temps pour pendre haut et court Les idéaux trop courts, mais on n'en est pas là
Je me suis battue pour ça, j'ai serré dans ma voix Tous ces mots qui font peur quand on n'les entend pas Je me suis battue pour ça, j'ai serré dans mes bras Toutes ces femmes qui pleurent et que l'on ne voit pas
Il faut du temps, on nous dit ça, on dit On parle et on écrit, et la guerre se vend Il faut du temps, non, il faut vouloir fort Monsieur Gandhi est mort, est-il mort pour longtemps?
Je me battrais pour ça, ici et maintenant Moi, je n'ai plus le temps, j'ai qu'une vie devant moi Je me battrai pour ça, je me battrai comment La paix n'est qu'une enfant qui ne marche pas droit
Je n'suis qu'un p'tit soldat sans arme que ma voix Mais je crierai pour toi, ma colombe pour toi Je n'suis qu'un p'tit soldat, maintenant et là-bas Mais des milliers de voix le crieront avec moi
Je me battrai pour ça, ici et maintenant J'entends monter le vent, mais qui se lèvera? Je me battrai pour ça, je me battrai comment On dit qu'il faut du temps, mais des milliers de voix Le crieront avec moi
Hello Susie Composer(s): Roy Wood; Art Wood Performer(s): Amen Corner; The Move
Ev'rybody sat here Waiting for the train to come Just laid down A bright-red carpet for her to step on
Looking through the band I see her waving her hands at me Her looks were tanned And quite amazing as she ran to me Frantic'lly she knocked me over Causing such a scene Shook the crowd enough To sway the interest from the Queen Her black transistor socked out 1 o' clock radio Completely drowned the band And loud enough to stop the show
Hello Susie tell me the news about yourself Hello Susie tell me that you've enjoyed yourself Yes sir, rock and roll the day away Come on ev'rybody They all seem too keen to make a scene Come on ev'rybody Gotta kick the dust away
He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother Composer(s): Bob Russell; Bobby Scott Performer(s): The Hollies
The road is long With many a winding turn That leads us to who knows where Who knows where But I'm strong Strong enough to carry him He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go His welfare is my concern No burden is he to bear We'll get there For I know He would not encumber me He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all I'm laden with sadness That everyone's heart Isn't filled with gladness And love for one another
It's a long, long road From which there is no return While we're on the way to there Why not share And the load doesn't weigh me down at all He ain't heavy, he's my brother
Spin, Spin, Spin Composer(s): Jim Croce - Ingrid Croce Performer(s): Jim Croce
Spin, spin, spin Spin around, spin around
The harlequin dances in a costume of green Spin around But under his makeup his age can't be seen Spin around But where are you spinnin' When will you know That life is for livin' That it isn't a show?
Spin, spin, spin Spin around, spin around
You look out on the city from your penthouse so high Spin around But your pedestal's your prison and so is your high Spin around But where are you spinnin' When will you know That life is for livin' That it isn't a show?
Spin, spin, spin Spin around, spin around
Your pills are you conscience They make ev'rything seem all right Spin around Take a white one go to sleep Take a red one to stay up all night To spin around But where are you spinnin' When will you know That life is for livin' That it isn't a show? Spin, spin, spin Spin around, spin around Spin, spin, spin Spin away, spin away Spin, spin, spin Spin around, spin around
