Stay Awhile Composer(s): Ken Tobias Performer(s): The Bells
Into my room he creeps Without making a sound Into my dreams he peeps With his hair all long and hanging down
How he makes me quiver How he makes me smile With all this love I have to give him I guess I'm gonna stay with him awhile
She brushes the curls from my eyes She drops her robe on the floor And she reaches for the light on the bureau And the darkness is her pillow once more
How she makes me quiver How she makes me smile With all this love I have to give her I guess I'm gonna stay with her awhile
How it makes me quiver How it makes me smile With all this love I have to give you Guess I'm gonna stay with you awhile
How it makes me quiver How it makes me smile With all this love I have to give you Guess I'm gonna stay with you awhile
His Wife Refused Composer(s): David Byrne Performer(s): David Byrne
A great big house- with nothing in it He comes home says "Now wait a minute" He's comin' in She's goin' out He turns around says, "What's that about?"
Do what they like, the kid's in school Think she don't know, now, who's kidding who? He turns around says "Who wants to know?" Open the door and there's nobody home!
Go ahead- fill their heads Go ahead- fill their heads with poison Take a look- these people are savages! Take a look- at their misfortune
I'm goin up I got a message I'm gonna wait till I close the door I'm gonna wrap, myself in blankets I'm gonna, roll out, across the floor
Well the bride bride and the groom Run in a circle around their house They're goin' out they're comin' in Inside a circle around their house
These shoes don't fit- this tie don't match I'm gonna throw it away when I get home I'm turned around I'm doin' my best I'm gonna wait until the light comes on
Yes he's the king and she's the queen Run in a circle around their house Open the door and let them in Inside a circle around their house
Mr. Nobody Composer(s): Matja Vlaic - Ura Vlaic First performance by: Anej Dean - 2006
You, you came to me one night Just like a ray of light I thought we'd be forever
Now it's so clear to me I'm part of history You're leaving me in sorrow
So deeply, so badly, you're hurting me
Tell me, who's that lucky hero Sleeping tightly on your pillow? Ah... tell me, will it be forever? 'Cause when you look at me I'm Mister Nobody It's just a game you play Can't let you walk away
Like a stranger passing by With no more tears to dry You're leaving me in sorrow
So deeply, so badly, you're hurting me
Tell me, who's that lucky hero Sleeping tightly on your pillow? Ah... tell me, will it be forever? 'Cause when you look at me I'm Mister Nobody It's just a game you play Can't let you walk away
Tell me, who's that lucky hero Sleeping tightly on your pillow? Ah... tell me, will it be forever? 'Cause when you look at me I'm Mister Nobody It's just a game you play Can't let you walk away
His Rocking Horse Ran Away From the Film "And The Angels Sing 1944" Composer(s): Johnny Burke; Jimmy Van Heusen Performer(s): Betty Hutton; and various other artists
I must sit down for a minute I'm ready to fall in a heap Willie's been fed and I've tucked him in bed thank goodness the darling's asleep He's a wonderful boy and a joy and a boon
Ahh, gee, you should have seen him this afternoon
Bang went the bridge lamp, down went the table, crash went the china tray But he said "I couldn't help it, my rocking horse ran away!" Rip rip went the curtain, wham went the window, crunch went the new buffet And I heard him tell his daddy "My rocking horse ran away"
Somehow Indians got into our front room Our cowboy grabbed for his gun and went boom, boom, boom, boom, boom
Slam went the screen door, smash went the mirror, looks like I'll soon be gray But he smiles and what's the difference and maybe some Mother's Day I'll remember when his rocking horse ran away
Got up early this morning, wore a flimsy negligee Had to hurry to fix the breakfast and get daddy on his way Figured I could get the paper, so the neighbors wouldn't see So I sneaked out on the porch, very, very quietly Wham went the dish pan, then came a holler, up went the neighbor's shade It was Mother's little darling, out on a commando raid
Came home late from a picture. I was tired, my shoes were tight Took off my stockings, dropped my girdle Got undressed and pulled the light. boy! Slipped into my night gown, then tiptoed across the floor Better have a look at Junior, so I peeked into his door Clang, clang, clang went a cowbell, whee went a whistle, I nearly had a stroke It was mother's precious baby, just havin' his little joke
Always just when I'm breathin' a peaceful sigh There's G-Men, coppers and robbers and hi-yo silver! Bam went the book case, boot went the fruit bowl, boom went the glass bouquet But he smiles and what's the difference and maybe some mother's day I'll remember when, bang went the lamp, down went the table Crash went the tray, rip rip went the curtain, wham went a window Clang went a bell, whee went a whistle, bam went a pan, slam went a door On that eventful day, when his rocking horse ran away
Stay Away From The Apple Tree Composer(s): Roger Bowling - Chris Butler Performer(s): Billie Jo Spears; Lena Martell
In the beginning God made the world And something wasn't right He reached down His hand and He made man Then He smiled, 'cause it was right
But it didn't take long for Him to see This man was so alone So He gave him a woman To love and call his own
Now, the devil had an apple tree The fruit, it looked so fine Man took a bite, it tasted sweet So he stepped out of line
Now today it's still the same And I know she's tempting you So with all my love and all my heart I am begging you
Stay away, stay away from the apple tree Don't you know that all she wants to do Is hurt you and me? Stay away, stay away from the apple tree And spend all your time loving me
His Lips Get In The Way French Title: Je Ne Veux Que Lui Composer(s): Howard Greenfield; Helen Miller Performer(s): The Shirelles
Everybody tells me I'm A fool and I'm just wastin' time To love someone who's not in love with me Friends all say that I'm a dope To stay in love when there's no hope But I'm a dope who loves him hopelessly
Chorus: What can I do? Hey, what can I say? Each time I try to say goodbye His lips get in the way Oh yeah, his lips get in the way
He says my love don't mean a thing But still he keeps me on a string I'm just someone he likes to have around I say I want no more of this But then he stops me with a kiss I can't resist him though he puts me down
(chorus)
Everybody calls me fool They say "Hey girl, go back to school and learn the things that every girl should know" But I guess I've got no brains Because my foolish heart remains I just can't break the chains & let him go, no no
His Hand In Mine Composer(s): Mosie Lister Performer(s): Elvis Presley; and various other artists
You may ask me how I know my Lord is real (my Lord is real) You may doubt the things I say and doubt the way I feel (the way I feel) But I know he's real today he'll always be (he'll always be) I can feel his hand in mine and that's enough for me
I will never walk alone he holds my hand (he holds my hand) He will guide each step I take And if I fall I know he'll understand Till the day he tells me why he loves me so (he loves me so) I can feel his hand in mine That's all I need to know
I will never walk alone he holds my hand (he holds my hand) He will guide each step I take And if I fall I know he'll understand Till the day he tells me why he loves me so (he loves me so) I can feel his hand in mine That's all I need to know
I can feel his hand in mine That's all I need to know
Stay Awake Composer(s): Robert B. Sherman - Richard M. Sherman First release by: Julie Andrews - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
Stay awake don't rest your head Don't lie down upon your bed While the moon drifts in the skies Stay awake don't close your eyes
Though the world is fast asleep Though your pillows soft and deep You're not sleepy as you seem Stay awake don't nod and dream Stay awake don't nod and dream
His Eye Is On The Sparrow Composer(s): Civilla D. Martin; Charles H. Gabriel Performer(s): Mahalia Jackson; and various other artists
Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me
I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free For His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me
"Let not your heart be troubled" His tender word I hear And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me
I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free For His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me
Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise When songs give place to sighing, when hope within me dies I draw the closer to Him, from care He sets me free His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me
I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free For His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me
Stay As Sweet As You Are Composer(s): Mack Gordon - Harry Revel First performance by: Lanny Ross - 1934 Covered by multiple other artists
Stay as sweet as you are Don't let a thing Ever change you Stay as sweet as you are Don't let a soul Rearrange you
Don't ever lose The charm you possess Your loveliness, darling The way you say "yes" Stay as sweet as you are Discreet as you are You're divine, dear
Stay as grand as you are And as you are Tell me that you're mine, dear Young and gay or old and gray Near to me or afar Night and day I pray That you'll always stay As sweet as you are
Young and gay or old and gray Near to me or afar Night and day I pray That you'll always stay As sweet as you are
Hiroshima Mon Amour Composer(s): Warren Cann; Billy Currie; John Foxx Performer(s): Ultravox
Somehow we drifted off too far Communicate like distant stars Splintered voices down the 'phone The sunlit dust, the smell of roses drifts, oh no Someone waits behind the door Hiroshima mon amour
Riding inter-city trains Dressed in European grey Riding out to echo beach A million memories in the trees and sands, oh no How can I ever let them go? Hiroshima mon amour
Meet beneath the autumn lake Where only echoes penetrate Walk through polaroids of the past Future's fused like shattered glass, the sun's so low Turns our silhouettes to gold Hiroshima mon amour

Stay A Little Longer - 1946 ((aka Stay All Night (Stay A Little Longer) - 1973) Composer(s): Tommy Duncan - Bob Wills First release by: Bob Wills & his Texas Playboys - 1946 Covered by multiple other artists
Can't go home if you're going by the mill 'Cause the bridge' washed out at the bottom of the hill Big Creek's up, Little Creek's level Plow my corn with a double shovel
Stay all night, stay a little longer Dance all night, dance a little longer Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner Don't see why you can't stay a little longer
Sitting in the window, singing to my love Slop bucket fell from the window up above Mule and the grasshopper eatin ice cream mule got sick, so they laid him on the green
You ought to see my Blue Eyed Sally She lives way down on Shinbone Alley Number on the gate, the number on the door The next house over is the grocery store
Grab your partner, pat her on the head If she don't like biscuits, feed her cornbread Girls around Big Creek, 'bout half grown Jump on a man like a dog on a bone
Open your box Open your box Open your trousers Open your thighs Open your legs Open, open, open, open, oooh Open, open, open, open Open your legs Open your flies Open your ears Open your nose Open your mouth Open, open, open, open, oooh Open Open your cold feet Open, open Open, open, open, let's open, let's open the cities Open the cites Open, open, open the world Open, let's open the world Open, open, oooh Open, open, ooh!

Hippo Stomp Composer(s): Larry Byrom; John Kay Performer(s): Steppenwolf
If I should go astray and say "I lost my way" nobody would know me But if I don't believe I can and still say "Hear my plan" Somebody would follow just because it's free
We're all Hippos rollin' down the river Sometimes we can't touch the ground Like Hippos slidin' in the water Somehow we're stompin' around Now you can see me lyin' down in my swamp Any time I feel disgusted You'll see me do the hippo stomp Hey! Hey! You should try it when you're feelin' blue
If you should go astray and say "I lost my way" nobody will know you But if you don't believe you can and still say "I'm your man" Somebody will follow just because it's free
We're all Hippos rollin' down the river Sometimes we can't touch the ground Like Hippos slindin' in the water Somehow we're stompin' around You stop and watch me while you're out on your midnite romp And I can feel the silent question What the heck is the Hippo Stomp?
Let me answer you and let me tell ya true Just how I feel when I'm down Sometimes I wonder You'll see me stumblin' around But you just point and stare Come on let me hear ya Somewhere there's a voice down inside And when you find it let it teach you how to ask the question "why" Just because we live together We don't have to like each other So please don't fall asleep on me again Nobody, nobody, nobody knows for sure You just might never wake up from the dream Hey! Speak up let me hear ya Let me show you 'round the reservation I know my way around these parts I've lived here long enough Now you can have a taste, an indication Of things and times to come
If you should go astray and say "I lost my way" nobody will know you But if you don't believe you can and still say "I'm your man" Somebody will follow just because it's free
Early in the morning, late at night Somebody seems to know just how this thing work's right 'Cause every time I come around the corner somebody's looking out my door He's been snoopin' like a hound I'll grab his neck and shake him on down
We're all Hippos rollin' down the river Sometimes we can't touch the ground Like Hippos slindin' in the water Somehow we're stompin' around
