    Composer(s): Ray Gilbert - Bob O'Brien
    Performer(s): Kay Kyser & His Orch.
    and multiple other artist



    Guy:
    I want a zoot suit with a reet pleat
    And a drape shape, and a stuff cuff
    To look sharp enough to see my Sunday gal

    Gal:
    You want a reef sleeve with a right stripe
    And a rare square, so the gals will stare
    When they see you struttin' with your Sunday pal.

    Guy:
    (That's me)

    Gal:
    You wanta look keen so your dream will say
    "You don't look like the same beau"
    So keen that she'll scream, "Here comes my walkin' rainbow"

    Guy:
    So make a zoot suit with a reet pleat
    And a drape shape, and a stuff cuff
    To look sharp enough to see my Sunday gal
    Now, what you want, baby?

    Gal:
    I want a brown gown with a zop top
    And a hip slip, and a laced waist
    In the sharpest taste to see my Sunday man

    Guy:
    (In his zoot suit)

    Gal:
    A scat hat and a zag bag
    And a slick kiss, so the other chicks
    Will be jealous when I'm with my Sunday fan
    I wanta look keen so my dream will say
    "Ain't I the lucky fellah"
    So keen that he'll scream, "Baby's in Technicolor"

    Guy:
    So make a reet pleat with a drape shape
    And a stuff cuff, to look sharp enough
    To see my Sunday, Sunday gal

    Way Of The World
    Composer(s): Albert Hammond; Graham Lyle
    Performer(s): Ray Hamilton;
    and various other artists



    Baby, I need a hand to hold tonight
    And one bright star to remind me
    How dear is this life
    And baby, I’ve never known anyone like you
    There’s something very special about you
    I can’t imagine living without you

    It’s the way of the world and it’s motion
    And no ocean can keep us apart
    When the moment is right and you’re holding me tight
    You capture the beat of my heart
    In my heart there’s s fire always burning
    And there isn’t a thing I can’t do
    I’m resigned to the fact that there’s no turning back
    And I’ll never regret loving you

    Baby, I will go anywhere you need
    As long as you’re there beside me
    Baby, that’s all I need
    Hold me, hold me and never let me go
    I’m always gonna care about you
    I never wanna be without you

    It’s the way of the world and it’s motion
    And no ocean can keep us apart
    When the moment is right and you’re holding me tight
    You capture the beat of my heart
    In my heart there’s s fire always burning
    And there isn’t a thing I can’t do
    I’m resigned to the fact that there’s no turning back
    And I’ll never regret loving you

    You’re everything I believe in
    So don’t ever lose the feeling
    Don’t ever lose the feeling

    A Young Gypsy
    Composer(s): Joan Baez
    Performer(s): Joan Baez



    A young gypsy fell out in a slumber
    Heading north with a driver he knew
    Someone he'd lived with and trusted
    A young woman who trusted him too

    That very same day the young gypsy
    Had come from a farm in the west
    Where the children had played throughout the heat of the day
    Affording the gypsy no rest

    And the gypsy's bones were weary
    And the front seat looked secure
    And the gypsy slept on until the sun it was gone
    And the stars pierced the eyes of the girl at his side

    The next morning's day would be Easter
    He'd dress in his only fine shirt
    And shuffle through clusters of strangers
    With his gaze and his shoes in the dirt

    And the woman who loved him would watch him
    Protect him from curious stares
    For the womenfolk tend to be friendly
    And the gypsy's as young as he's fair

    And the evening brought on laughter
    And jars of bright red wine
    And the gypsy drank some and the gypsy had fun
    And his dancing got wild and the grandmothers smiled

    Sleeping came easily after
    In the arms of the woman that fold
    Up the secrets and dreams of the gypsy
    That will never be sought or be sold
    In fact, they will never be told
    For the gypsy is two years old

    Way Down Yonder In New Orleans
    Composer(s): Henry Creamer; J. Turner Layton
    Performer(s): Freddy Cannon



    Well, way down yonder in New Orleans in the land of the dreamy scenes
    There's a garden of Eden, ah-you know what I mean

    Yeah, Creole babies with flashin' eyes softly whisper with tender sighs
    And then you stop!
    Oh won't you give your lady fair a little smile?
    And then you stop!
    You bet your life you'll linger there a little while

    Yeah, there is heaven right here on earth with those beautiful queens
    Yeah, way down yonder in New Orleans
    Whoo!

    Way down yonder in New Orleans, whoo!, in the land of the dreamy scenes
    There's a garden of Eden, you know what I mean

    Well, Creole babies with flashin' eyes softly whisper with tender sighs
    And then you stop!
    Oh won't you give your lady fair a little smile?

    You bet your life you'll linger there a little while

    Yeah, there is heaven right here on earth with those beautiful queens
    Well, way down yonder in New Orleans

    A Young Girl
    ((Adapted from: Une Enfant (Edith Piaf) - 1951))
    ((Dutch Version: Een Meisje Van 16 (Boudewijn de Groot) - 1965))
    Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Robert Chauvigny - Oscar Brown Jr.
    Performer(s): Cher - 1966



    She left her neighbourhood
    In which everyone was filthy rich
    She left her parent's home
    And strayed with a vagabond
    Who made vows of love she never heard
    And she believed his every word

    She left no forwarding address
    Just took her youth and happiness
    As with the boy she vanished in
    The secret sweetness of their sin

    Oh, young girl
    Oh, young girl of sixteen
    Child of spring-time
    Still green
    Lying there by the road

    He told her: "love demanded space"
    So they roamed from place to place
    Although she realized she'd sinned
    She threw caution to the wind
    As she followed him around
    While he slowly dragged her down

    So overpowering was her love
    That it had made a captive of
    The young girl's heart and soul and mind
    In other words: love drove her blind

    Oh, young girl
    Oh, young girl of sixteen
    Child of spring-time
    Still green
    Laying there by the road

    Too much emotion for a girl
    She let her heart become her world
    But worlds that God had never wrought
    Fall asunder we are taught
    Had she been wise she would have known
    She couldn't feed him love alone

    She should of known the day would come
    When he would quit her just for crumbs
    He needed fresh young meat to carve
    And left her heart and mind to starve

    Oh, young girl
    Oh, young girl of sixteen
    Child of spring-time
    Still green
    Lying there by the road

    Dead

    Way Down The Old Plank Road
    (Traditional)



    I'd rather be in Richmond in all the hail and rain
    Then to be in Georgia, boys, wearing that ball and chain

    Won't get drunk no more
    Won't get drunk no more
    Won't get drunk no more
    Way down the old plank road

    I went down to Mobile to get on the gravel train
    Very next thing they heard of me, had on the ball and chain

    Doney, oh dear Doney, what makes you treat me so
    Caused me to wear the ball and chain and now my ankles sore

    Knoxville is a pretty place, Memphis is a beauty
    If you want to see them pretty girls, now hop to Chattanoogie

    I'm going to build me a scaffold on the mountain high
    So I can see my pretty girl as she goes riding by

    My wife died a Friday night, Saturday she was buried
    Sunday was my courting day, and Monday I got married

    Eighteen pounds of meat a week, whiskey here to sell
    How can a young man stay at home, pretty girls look so well

    Ahl-dee-oh-lay-eee-hee
    Ahl-dee-oh-lay-eee-hee-heee
    Ahl-dee-oh-lay-hee-hee, oh-dah-lay-hee-hee
    Oh-dah-lay-heee

    Tramping down the highway, traveling day and night
    I don't know where I'm going to, but I'll get there all right
    I have no one to care for me, I have no place to go
    Everybody knows I'm just a yodeling hobo

    I've been all around the country, been around most everywhere
    But I love that dear ol' sunny South, I love that Texas air
    Away out where the men are men, down in El Paso
    That is where they call me a yodeling hobo

    All my life I've traveled, I'm Alabama bound
    And now I'm always happy in the city or one horse town
    I started out to roamin' 'cause I had no place to go
    Now I've turned out to be a yodeling hobo

    Now you have heard my story, so I'll be on my way
    I hear a Frisco freight train, and it's calling me
    And when the sun sinks in the West, into that dark blue sky
    Just say that I'm a hobo and will be till I die

    Adios, goodbye Amigos, I am leavin' you today
    Ain't nobody 'round this town that's gonna miss me anyway
    This ol' money-makin's takin' all the time I have to play
    Mama, hush your mouth, I'm headed South, way down Texas way

    Way down Texas way they play good music every night
    And the dance hall rings with laughter till the early mornin' light
    When cowboys get through pickin', there's not much that's left to say
    But you can really have a good time, Honey, way down Texas way

    Ahhh....Texas fiddles

    The road of life is paved with good intentions I am told
    So I best be on my way now or I may not ever go
    Ain't no need to be a-beggin' me to stay just one more day
    This old wild goose is cuttin' loose, way down Texas way

    Way down Texas way they play good music every night
    And the dance hall rings with laughter till the early mornin' light
    When cowboys get through pickin', there's not much that's left to say
    But you can really have a good time, Sugar, way down Texas way

    Way down Texas way

    A Year Or A Day
    Composer(s): Ken Hensley
    Performer(s): Uriah Heep



    Seen from a height of a thousand miles the earth
    looks the same as it did
    How is it we can fly faster than day
    but we can't find the things we need

    Young man said the old man
    Let the youth in your heart be at rest
    We may all be dead in a year or a day
    When the devil is put to the test
    Test, test, Test!

    The day of creation was our finest hour it's
    something we ought to defend
    But it's been so abused since the first day of light
    that no glory can come in the end

    Young man cried the old man
    There is victory in staying alive
    And if you care so little for the world we're in
    Why and what do you want to survive

    Can't we try to let the past go by, with its lessons firmly
    settled in our minds
    To our children one by one and before the darkness comes
    let us leave a world full of light of a different kind

    In truth they should meet and with love their hearts should beat
    And with patience solve the problems of our time
    It wouldn't be so hard to do, it's only up to me and you
    Let us not bequeath a life that is a crime

    Seen from a height of a thousand miles the earth
    looks the same as it did
    How is it we can fly faster than day
    but we can't find the things we need

    Young man cried the old man
    Let the youth in your heart be at rest
    We may all be dead in a year or a day
    When the devil is put to the test whoa

    Young man cried the old man
    Let the youth in your heart be at rest
    We may all be dead in a year or a day
    When the devil is put to the test whoa

    Young man, young man

    Way Down On Tampa Bay
    Composer(s): A. Seymour Brown; Egbert Van Alstyne



    Twilight is falling, I'm so lonesome and blue
    Twilight is calling back sweet mem'ries of you
    And as the night breeze sighs in the palm trees
    Somehow it seems to say
    My heart is yearning for your returning
    Way down on Tampa Bay

    Moonlight is slowly stealing over the sea
    Moonlight just like the night you whispered to me
    Then all my gladness turned into sadness
    After I heard you say
    Though we must part dear, I leave me heart here
    Way down on Tampa Bay

    On Tampa Bay the moon beams play
    When the harbor lights are gleaming I am dreaming of the day
    You won my heart, dear, then sailed away
    And you left me so lonely
    Way down on Tampa Bay

    I received your card this morning when the mailman passed my way
    I'm so glad you thought enough of me to write
    I know it makes you happy to announce your wedding day
    But do you recall a year ago tonoght?

    When we made our vows together that our love would never die
    Darling, how were we to know it wasn't right
    I can't recall all the reasons why we quarreled and said goodbye
    But I still recall a year ago tonight

    May you always find contentment in each trial and joy you share
    May the years that glide before you bring delight
    But when old time memories haunt you and you have the time to spare
    Will you just recall a year ago tonight?

    Tho' this parting makes us strangers you will always share my heart
    When the fading years have turned our hair to white
    I will always feel you near me, even though we're worlds apart
    'Cause I'll still recall a year ago tonight...

    Way Down In Iowa (I'm Going To Hide Away)
    Composer(s): Sam. M. Lewis; Joe Young; George W. Meyer



    I found a horse shoe yesterday
    It brought me good luck right away
    Now I'm not superstitious
    But my wishes all came true
    I went and rubbed a rusty nail
    And then I made a wish for mail
    Next day a letter said "you'd better come home without fail"

    My palm was itching all last night
    That means I'll get my fare all right
    I found a four leaf clover
    Hard luck's over, me for home!
    My ear is ringing like a bell
    That means the folks all wish me well
    Now I'm delighted, so excited, I could fairly yell

    I'm gonna hide away, on a little farm in Iowa
    I'm gonna ride away, on the road that leads to yesterday
    Why, I can almost picture dear old mother
    Sprinkling sugar on my bread and butter
    Way down in that town in Iowa
    Two heads are crowned with gray
    Oh! I owe them more than I can pay
    The fields of new mown hay just moan and say
    "Go home and stay"
    And when I get back with them both, I'll never leave
    I'll take an oath, I'll hide away, way down in Iowa

    Please lock me away
    And don't allow the day
    Here inside where I hide
    With my loneliness

    I don't care what they say
    I won't stay in a world without love

    Birds sing out of tune
    And rain outside hide the moon
    I'm OK, here I'll stay
    With my loneliness

    I don't care what they say
    I won't stay in a world without love

    So I wait and in a while
    I will see my true love's smile
    He may come, I know not when
    When he does I lose
    So baby until then

    Lock me away
    And don't allow the day
    Here inside where I hide
    With my loneliness

    I don't care what they say
    I won't stay in a world without love

    So I wait and in a while
    I will see my true love's smile
    He may come, I know not when
    When he does I know
    So baby until then

    Lock me away
    And don't allow the day
    Here inside where I hide
    With my loneliness

    I don't care what they say
    I won't stay in a world without love

    I don't care what they say
    I won't stay in a world without love

    Way down, way way down
    Way way down deep
    You've got me way down, way way down
    Way way down deep
    You're got me way down, way down deep
    I wander with you in my sleep
    I'm way down, way way down
    Way way down deep
    It came to me this morning
    I was walking down the street
    Was like my soul could taste you
    And God, you tasted sweet
    Finally I can breathe again
    Finally I can speak
    I've got you in the glory place
    I've got you way down deep

    I've got you way down, way way down
    Way way down deep
    You're got me way down, way way down
    Way way down deep
    You're got me way down, way way down
    I wander with you in my sleep
    I'm way down, way way down
    Way way down deep

    It's a funny feeling
    But I cannot say I mind
    I know that I'm dealing with
    A love that's far from blind
    I see every single angle
    I look before I leap
    And how else can I put it
    When you're got me way down deep

    You've got me way down, way way down
    Way way down deep
    You've got me way down, way way down
    Way way down deep
    You've got me way down, way down deep
    I wander with you in my sleep
    I'm way down, way way down
    Way way down deep

    Don't matter what we gave away
    Was nothing we could keep
    Don't matter what we gave away
    You know that talk is cheap
    Forgive me if I hate you
    You're a liar and a thief
    But I've got you in the glory place
    I got you way down deep

    You've got me way down, way way down
    Way way down deep
    You've got me way down, way way down
    Way way down deep
    You've got me way down, way down deep
    I wander with you in my sleep
    I'm way down, way way down
    Way way down deep

    Don't matter if the road is long
    Don't matter if it's steep
    Don't matter if the moon goes out
    And darkness is complete
    Don't matter if we lose our way
    I know we're gonna meet
    I've got you in the glory place
    I've got you way down deep

    You've got me way down, way way down
    Way way down deep
    You've got me way down, way way down
    Way way down deep
    You've got me way down, way down deep
    I wander with you in my sleep
    I'm way down, way way down
    Way way down deep

    Un Monde Sans Amour
    ((Adapted from: A World Without Love (by Peter & Gordon) - 1964))
    Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney - Hubert Ithier - Claude Carrère
    Performer(s): Sheila - 1964



    Bien des gens m'ont dit
    La vie n'est pas jolie
    La douceur, le bonheur
    N'ont plus cours ici

    Moi, je ne peux pas vivre un seul jour
    Dans un monde sans amour

    Oui, j'entends souvent
    Chanter le clair printemps
    Au réveil, le soleil
    Les oiseaux sont là

    Moi, je ne peux pas vivre un seul jour
    Dans un monde sans amour

    A la pluie, à l'arc-en-ciel
    A l'enfant qui s'émerveille
    A ces roses ouvertes au ciel
    Mon coeur dit "Merci!
    Vous donnez la vie!"

    Oui, quelqu'un, là-haut
    Nous fait tous ces cadeaux
    Si les fous, les jaloux
    Ne voient rien du tout

    Moi, je ne peux pas vivre un seul jour
    Dans un monde sans amour

    Il est vrai que dans tes yeux
    J'ai trouvé ce que je veux,
    Au bonheur fait pour nous deux
    Mon coeur dit "Merci
    De m'avoir choisie"

    Oui, j'entends souvent
    Chanter le clair printemps
    Avec toi, le soleil
    Les oiseaux sont là

    Moi, je ne peux pas vivre un seul jour
    Dans un monde sans amour

    A World Without Heroes
    Composer(s): Bob Ezrin - Paul Stanley - Gene Simmons - Lou Reed
    First release by: Kiss - 1981
    Covered by multiple other artists



    A world without heroes
    Is like a world without Sun
    You can't look up to anyone
    Without heroes
    And a world without heroes
    Is like a never ending race
    It's like a time, without a place
    A pointless thing, devoid of grace

    Where you don't know what your after
    Or if something's after you
    And you don't know why you don't know
    In a world without heroes

    In a world without dreams
    Things are no more than they seem
    A world without heroes
    Is like a bird without wings
    Or a bell that never rings
    Just a sad and useless thing

    Where you don't know what your after
    Or if something's after you
    And you don't know why you don't know

    Where you don't know what your after
    Or if something's after you
    And you don't know why you don't know
    You don't know, you don't know
    (repeat three times)

    Way Down
    Performer(s): John Prine



    Chorus:
    Way down
    Way down it must be
    I can't stop this misery
    It must be way down

    Spring is just a smile away
    Laughing at a summer day
    Turn around Look at fall
    Winter, hear my lonely call
    Way down ...

    The air is thin and the sky is fat
    I'm gonna buy me a brand new hat
    Wear it out and go insane
    Christ, I hope it never rains
    Way down ...

    Thought I saw a neon sign
    Flash my name Wiwh the time
    Probably didn't see a thing
    Crazy dreams and a broken wing
    Way down ...

    How ya' gonna get sunshine
    Peeking thru Venetian blinds
    Don't you know all that fear
    Begins and ends the same place
    Here
    Way down ...

    A World Of Our Own
    Composer(s): Tom Springfield
    Performer(s): The Seekers



    Close the door, light the light, we're stayin' home tonight
    Far away from the bustle and the bright city lights
    Let them all fade away, just leave us alone
    And we'll live in a world of our own

    We'll build a world of our own that no one else can share
    All our sorrows we'll leave far behind us there
    And I know you will find there'll be peace of mind
    When we live in a world of our own

    Oh my love, oh my love, I've cried for you so much
    Lonely nights without sleeping while I longed for your touch
    Now your lips can't evade the heartache I've known
    Come with me to a world of our own

    We'll build a world of our own that no one else can share
    All our sorrows we'll leave far behind us there
    And I know you will find there'll be peace of mind
    When we live in a world of our own

    We'll build a world of our own that no one else can share
    All our sorrows we'll leave far behind us there
    And I know you will find there'll be peace of mind
    When we live in a world of our own

    And I know you will find there'll be peace of mind
    When we live in a world of our own

    Way Down
    Composer(s): Martine Layng Jr.
    Performer(s): Elvis Presley



    Babe, you're getting closer
    The lights are goin' dim
    The sound of your breathin'
    Has made the mood I'm in
    All of my resistance
    Is lying on the floor
    Taking me to places
    I've never been before

    Ooh, and I can feel it, (feel it)
    Feel it, (feel it)
    Feel it, (feel it)
    Feel it

    Way down where the music plays
    Way down like a tidal wave
    Way down where the fires blaze
    Way down, down, way, way on down

    Ooh, my head is spinnin'
    You got me in your spell,
    A hundred magic fingers
    On a whirling carousel
    The medicine within me
    No doctor could prescribe
    Your love is doing something
    That I just can't describe

    Ooh, and I can feel it, (feel it)
    Feel it, (feel it)
    Feel it, (feel it)
    Feel it

    Way down where the music plays
    Way down like a tidal wave
    Way down where the fires blaze
    Way down, down, way, way on down

    Hold me again,
    Tight as you can
    I need you so,
    Baby, let's go

    Way down where it feels so good
    Way down where I hoped it would
    Way down where I never could
    Way down, down, way, way on down
    (Way on downnnnnnn)

    A World I Never Made
    Composer(s): Doc Pomus - Mac Rebennack
    Performer(s): B.B. King
    and multiple other artists



    The late show is over
    And the city is fast asleep
    And I'm lost in a world
    That's just too cold and deep
    I've turned so many ways
    I'm spinning like a top
    I wish that I could get off
    Or get this world to stop

    I'm a stranger and afraid
    I'm a stranger and afraid
    I'm a stranger and afraid
    In a world I never made

    I'm always chasing dragons
    With a sword that's made of tin
    So I know in my soul
    There's no way I can win
    I tried, oh I tried
    But there's no place, no place to go
    There's no one here who knows me
    And no one here I know

    I'm a stranger and afraid
    I'm a stranger and afraid
    I'm a stranger and afraid
    In a world I never made
