    ((Adapted from: Aline (by Christophe) - 1965))
    Composer(s): Christophe - Jan De Vuyst
    Performer(s): Doran - 1998



    Ik sta op een brug, het wordt avond
    Daar in het water, zie ik jouw gezicht
    Ik wil jouw beeld, heel zachtjes strelen
    Blijf je nog even, deel mijn verdriet

    'k Voel me zo leeg, zo leeg
    Aline, 'k wil jou terug
    'k Voel me zo leeg, zo leeg
    Oh, 'k had nooit zo'n verdiet

    Ik heb jou gezocht
    Dagen en weken
    Bij vrienden en vreemden
    Maar van jou geen spoor

    Jouw huis staat nu leeg
    De tijd zo verlaten
    Ik moet jou vergeten
    Maar 'k wil jou terug

    'k Voel me zo leeg, zo leeg
    Aline, 'k wil jou terug
    'k Voel me zo leeg, zo leeg
    Oh, 'k had nooit zo'n verdiet

    Er is geen mens
    Met wie ik wil praten
    Wie kan mij begrijpen
    Alleen jij, Aline

    'k Voel me zo leeg, zo leeg
    Aline, 'k wil jou terug
    'k Voel me zo leeg, zo leeg
    Oh, 'k had nooit zo'n verdiet

    'k Voel me zo leeg, zo leeg
    Aline, 'k wil jou terug
    'k Voel me zo leeg, zo leeg
    Oh, 'k had nooit zo'n verdiet

    'k Voel me zo leeg, zo leeg
    Aline, 'k wil jou terug
    'k Voel me zo leeg, zo leeg
    Oh, 'k had nooit zo'n verdiet
    'k Voel me zo leeg

    Where's Me Shirt?
    Performer(s): Ken Dodd



    Well it all began in the year of one
    When Adam was the first man
    And a girl called Eve, so we believe
    Was made to be his woman
    She led him up the Garden of Eden, by a tree
    Then she offered him her apple
    And he cried out suddenly (eee-eeee-eeeee)

    Where's me shirt?
    Where's me shirt?

    I feel a proper twazzer without me shirt
    I've got me tickling-tackle and me nicky-nocky-noo
    But I must confess I feel undressed
    Like this, in front of you

    Where's me shirt?
    I can't find me shirt anywhere
    It's twenty-five past five in the Garden of Eden and I can't find me shirt
    Fancy leaving me in a garden with no shirt on, like this
    Look at all these creepy-crawly things here
    Ooh, look, there's a serpent
    Go 'way
    Go 'way you nasty old serpent
    Go on, shoo!
    Go on, shoo!

    Since the days of old, we've all been told
    Of men like Bonaperte
    His great retreat and his first defeat
    Was the thing that broke his heart
    He stuck just outside Moscow and then made history
    He stuck his hand inside his coat
    And cried out bitterly (eee-eeee-eeeee)

    Where's me shirt?
    Where's me shirt?

    I can't go on like zis, wizout my shirt
    I've had my tickle-tonic on my nicky-nocky-nee
    But I just can't go through all this snow
    Without a shirt on me

    Where's me shirt?
    Oh, sacre blue
    Sacre flippin' blue, where's me shirt?
    By Jove, t'ain't 'alf frosty
    Ooh, ooh, this tent isn't 'alf drafty
    I don't know where the draft's comin' from, but I know where it's goin' to

    Back in eighty-one, in the mid-day sun
    In Tombstone, one September
    Wyatt Earp was due to go into
    A gunfight he'd remember
    The Clanton's and McLourys started firin' suddenly
    As the gunsmoke cleared and the twonsfolk cheered
    Wyatt Earp said quietly (eee-eeee-eeeee)

    Where's me shirt?
    Where's me shirt?

    I feel a proper twit without me shirt
    I've lost me ticklin'-tackle and me nicky-nocky-nee
    But I feel a twerp, me Wyatt Earp
    With my shirt shot off o' me

    Ere, where's me shirt?
    Where's me gunfightin' shirt?
    Ooh, I say, here comes the Indians
    'Ere, you be careful where you're shootin' those arrows
    Where's me shirt?
    Where's me shir...
    I can't find me shirt anywhere
    D'you know, I'm sure I had it when I came out
    Where's me shirt?

    ((Dutch Version: Aline (by Doran) - 1998))
    Composer(s): Christophe
    First release by: Christophe - 1965



    J'avais dessiné sur le sable
    Son doux visage, qui me souriait
    Puis il a plu, sur cette plage
    Dans cet orage, elle a disparu
    Et j'ai crié, crié Aline pour qu'elle revienne
    Et j'ai pleuré, pleuré oh j'avais trop de peine
    Je me suis assis, auprès de son âme
    Mais la belle dame, s'était enfuie
    Je l'ai cherché, sans plus y croire
    Et sans un espoir, pour me guider
    Et j'ai crié, crié Aline pour qu'elle revienne
    Et j'ai pleuré, pleuré oh j'avais trop de peine
    Je n'ai gardé, que ce doux visage
    Comme une épave, sur le sable mouillé
    Et j'ai crié, crié Aline pour qu'elle revienne
    Et j'ai pleuré, pleuré oh j'avais trop de peine
    Et j'ai crié, crié Aline pour qu'elle revienne
    Et j'ai pleuré, pleuré oh j'avais trop de peine
    Et j'ai crié, crié Aline pour qu'elle revienne
    Et j'ai pleuré, pleuré oh j'avais trop de peine

    Wherefore And Why
    Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
    Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot;
    and various other artists



    When I awoke this mornin', something inside of me
    Told me this would be my day
    I heard the mornin' train, I felt the wind change
    Too many times I'm on my way

    Come on sunshine, what can you show me
    Where can you take me and make me understand
    The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
    The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain

    Then I saw the Sun rise above the cotton sky
    Like a candycane delight
    I saw the milkman, I saw the business man
    I saw the only road in sight

    Then I got to thinkin' what makes you want to go
    To know the wherefore and the why
    So many times now, oh Lord, I can't remember
    If it's September or July

    Come on sunshine, what can you show me
    Where can you take me and make me understand
    The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
    The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain

    Then all at once it came to me, I saw the wherefore
    And you can see it if you try
    It's in the Sun above, it's in the one you love
    You'll never know the reason why

    Come on sunshine, what can you show me
    Where can you take me to make me understand
    The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
    The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain
    So much to lose, so much to gain

    Don't Forget Me
    Composer(s): Harry Nilsson
    First release by: Harry Nilsson - 1974
    Covered by multiple other artists



    In the wintertime keep your feet warm
    But keep your clothes on and don't forget me
    Keep the memories
    But keep your powder dry too

    In the summer by the poolside
    While the fireflies are all around you
    All miss you when I'm lonely
    I'll miss the alimony too

    Don't forget me - don't forget me
    Take it easy if only for a little while
    You know I think about you
    Let me know you think about me too

    And when we're older and full of cancer
    It doesn't matter, come on get happy
    `Cause nothing lasts forever
    But I will always love you

    Don't forget me, please don't forget me
    Make it easy if just for a little while
    You know I think about you
    Let me know you think about me too

    Composer(s): Carole King; Toni Stern
    Performer(s): Faith Hill;
    and various other artists



    Wanting you the way I do
    I only want to be with you
    And I would go
    To the ends of the earth
    `Cause, darling
    To me that's what
    You're worth

    Where you lead, I will follow
    Anywhere that you tell me to
    If you need, you need me to be with you
    I will follow where you lead

    If you're out on the road
    Feeling lonely, and so cold
    All you have to do is call my name
    And I'll be there on the next train

    Where you lead, I will follow
    Anywhere that you tell me to
    If you need, you need me to be with you
    I will follow where you lead

    I always wanted a real home
    With flowers in the window sill
    But if you want to live in New York City
    Honey, you know I will

    I never thought I could get satisfaction
    From just one man
    If anyone can keep me happy
    You're the one who can

    Where you lead, I will follow
    Anywhere that you tell me to
    If you need, you need to be with you
    I will follow

    Where you lead, I will follow
    Anywhere that you tell me to
    If you need, you need to be with you
    I will follow where you lead
    Oh, yes I will

    Oh, I'm gonna follow where you lead
    I'm gonna follow where you lead
    Oh, I'm gonna follow where you lead
    I will follow
    I will follow

    Oh, yes I will

    Alien (I Am)
    Composer(s): Dave Brock
    Performer(s): Hawkwind



    Squatting in your bodies, microscopic breeding
    I sleep in you and eat from within
    I am the Alien
    We are here to help you
    Make the mend in the chemical bend
    We are the Aliens
    I lack emotion, have no love that I can find
    I want some devotion, to ease a worried mind
    The heart is softened, soul is scorched
    The mind erodes away some sentimental thought
    The window crackes is closed
    The door slams shut, the lights put out
    Say no more, speak no less
    For you I become the Alien I am
    For you I become the Alien I am
    The cry primal is muffled, the mouth seal's tight
    The eye looks within, say no more, speak no less
    I the Alien
    I am the Alien
    Reject your human touch
    I lack emotion, have no love that I can find
    I want some devotion, to ease a worried mind
    The heart is softened, soul is scorched
    The mind erodes away some sentimental thought
    This is Alien control, calling space ship Earth
    Alien control calling Earth, are you receiving Earth?
    Are you receiving...
    We are the Aliens
    We have warned you about...
    The Danger
    We are ... We are ... We are ... We are ...

    Where Would I Be
    Composer(s): Edgar Winter; Jerry LaCroix
    Performer(s): Edgar Winter



    Where would I be, without you?
    You give me hope and inspiration to get me through
    You're a lovin' kind of woman: Understanding
    Lord, I love you
    Where would I be without you?

    Joy follows you wherever you are
    Now you spread love and affection near and far
    You've got shiny skies above you, birds around you
    Lord, I love you
    Joy follows you wherever you are

    Where would I be without you?
    There's a reason now in everything I do
    Spring was surely fashioned of you, likened somehow
    Lord I love you
    Where would I be without you?

    Baby without you, to see me through
    without you, to get me through

    Composer(s): Jeannette Sears - Pete Sears
    Performer(s): Jefferson Starship



    Are you an alien
    are you from this earth
    would you care to tell me
    details of birth
    did you just emerge from thin air
    can you even tell me
    are you really there
    jet age dreams
    from days gone by
    the circle in te forest
    where they dnced beneath the sky
    ...beneath the sky...
    beneath the sky

    do you know my thoughts
    can you read my mind
    would you dare to tell me
    what it is you find
    come on now tell me what you find
    what lays hidden in my mind
    I can see through you
    I can hear you too
    I can feel you touch my mind

    did they paint your face
    in ancient times
    were they talking 'bout you
    in celtic rhymes
    can I just reach out
    pull back the shroud
    would you let me hold you
    would it be allowed

    are you the legend
    did they call you seer
    would you let me hold you
    would ou disappear...
    alien...

    Where Will The Words Come From?
    Composer(s): Sonny Curtis; Glen D. Hardin
    Performer(s): Gary Lewis and The Playboys;
    Rosanne Cash



    Where will the words come from
    When I tell you I don't love you anymore?
    When I command my lips to say
    "It's over now, please go away"
    Will the words be there
    Or will they fail me like they've always done before?
    Where will the words come from
    When I tell you I don't want you, I don't love you anymore

    What happened to the love we had when it went away?
    Did it change itself into a cloud & become a rainy day?
    Where will the words come from
    When I tell you I don't want you, I don't love you anymore

    Where will the words come from
    When I tell you I don't love you anymore?
    When I search inside my soul
    For words to tell of love grown cold
    Will the words be there
    Or will they fail me like they've always done before?
    Where will the words come from
    When I tell you I don't want you, I don't love you anymore

    Klik op de afbeelding om de link te volgen

    Alice's Restaurant
    Composer(s): Arlo Guthrie
    Performer(s): Arlo Guthrie; Enoch Light; The New Christy Minstrels



    This song is called Alice's Restaurant, and it's about Alice, and the restaurant
    but Alice's Restaurant is not the name of the restaurant, that's just the name of the song
    and that's why I called the song Alice's Restaurant

    You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
    You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
    Walk right in it's around the back
    Just a half a mile from the railroad track
    You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant

    Now it all started two Thanksgivings ago, was on - two years ago on Thanksgiving
    when my friend and I went up to visit Alice at the restaurant
    but Alice doesn't live in the restaurant, she lives in the church nearby the restaurant
    in the bell-tower, with her husband Ray and Fasha the dog
    And livin' in the bell tower like that, they got a lot of room downstairs where the pews used to be in
    Havin' all that room, seein' as how they took out all the pews
    they decided that they didn't have to take out their garbage for a long time

    We got up there, we found all the garbage in there
    and we decided it'd be a friendly gesture for us to take the garbage down to the city dump
    So we took the half a ton of garbage, put it in the back of a red VW microbus
    took shovels and rakes and implements of destruction and headed on toward the city dump

    Well we got there and there was a big sign and a chain across across the dump saying, "Closed on Thanksgiving"
    And we had never heard of a dump closed on Thanksgiving before
    and with tears in our eyes we drove off into the sunset looking for another place to put the garbage

    We didn't find one
    Until we came to a side road, and off the side of the side road there was another fifteen foot cliff
    and at the bottom of the cliff there was another pile of garbage
    And we decided that one big pile is better than two little piles
    and rather than bring that one up we decided to throw our's down

    That's what we did, and drove back to the church, had a thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat
    went to sleep and didn't get up until the next morning, when we got a phone call from officer Obie
    He said, "Kid, we found your name on an envelope at the bottom of a half a ton of garbage
    and just wanted to know if you had any information about it"
    And I said, "Yes, sir, Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie, I put that envelope under that garbage"

    After speaking to Obie for about fourty-five minutes on the telephone
    we finally arrived at the truth of the matter and said that we had to go down and pick up the garbage
    and also had to go down and speak to him at the police officer's station
    So we got in the red VW microbus with the shovels and rakes and implements of destruction
    and headed on toward the police officer's station

    Now friends, there was only one or two things that Obie coulda done at the police station
    and the first was he could have given us a medal for being so brave and honest on the telephone
    which wasn't very likely, and we didn't expect it
    and the other thing was he could have bawled us out and told us never to be see driving garbage around the vicinity again
    which is what we expected, but when we got to the police officer's station
    there was a third possibility that we hadn't even counted upon, and we was both immediately arrested
    Handcuffed
    And I said "Obie, I don't think I can pick up the garbage with these handcuffs on"
    He said, "Shut up, kid
    Get in the back of the patrol car"

    And that's what we did, sat in the back of the patrol car and drove to the quote Scene of the Crime unquote
    I want tell you about the town of Stockbridge, Massachusets, where this happened here
    they got three stop signs, two police officers, and one police car
    but when we got to the Scene of the Crime there was five police officers and three police cars
    being the biggest crime of the last fifty years, and everybody wanted to get in the newspaper story about it
    And they was using up all kinds of cop equipment that they had hanging around the police officer's station
    They was taking plaster tire tracks, foot prints, dog smelling prints
    and they took twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles and arrows
    and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us
    Took pictures of the approach, the getaway, the northwest corner the southwest corner
    and that's not to mention the aerial photography

    After the ordeal, we went back to the jail
    Obie said he was going to put us in the cell
    Said, "Kid, I'm going to put you in the cell, I want your wallet and your belt"
    And I said, "Obie, I can understand you wanting my wallet so I don't have any money to spend in the cell
    but what do you want my belt for?"
    And he said, "Kid, we don't want any hangings"
    I said, "Obie, did you think I was going to hang myself for littering?"
    Obie said he was making sure, and friends Obie was, 'cause he took out the toilet seat
    so I couldn't hit myself over the head and drown, and he took out the toilet paper so I couldn't bend the bars roll out the
    roll the toilet paper out the window, slide down the roll and have an escape
    Obie was making sure, and it was about four or five hours later that Alice (remember Alice? It's a song about Alice)
    Alice came by and with a few nasty words to Obie on the side, bailed us out of jail, and we went back to the church
    had a another thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat, and didn't get up until the next morning
    when we all had to go to court

    We walked in, sat down, Obie came in with the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures
    with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one, sat down
    Man came in said, "All rise"
    We all stood up, and Obie stood up with the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures
    and the judge walked in sat down with a seeing eye dog, and he sat down, we sat down
    Obie looked at the seeing eye dog, and then at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures
    with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one, and looked at the seeing eye dog
    And then at twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows
    and a paragraph on the back of each one and began to cry
    'cause Obie came to the realization that it was a typical case of American blind justice
    and there wasn't nothing he could do about it
    and the judge wasn't going to look at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with the circles and arrows
    and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us
    And we was fined $50 and had to pick up the garbage in the snow, but that's not what I came to tell you about

    Came to talk about the draft

    They got a building down New York City, it's called Whitehall Street, where you walk in
    you get injected, inspected, detected, infected, neglected and selected
    I went down to get my physical examination one day, and I walked in, I sat down
    got good and drunk the night before, so I looked and felt my best when I went in that morning
    `Cause I wanted to look like the all-American kid from New York City, man I wanted
    I wanted to feel like the all-, I wanted to be the all American kid from New York
    and I walked in, sat down, I was hung down, brung down, hung up, and all kinds o' mean nasty ugly things
    And I waked in and sat down and they gave me a piece of paper, said, "Kid, see the phsychiatrist, room 604"

    And I went up there, I said, "Shrink, I want to kill
    I mean, I wanna, I wanna kill
    Kill
    I wanna, I wanna see
    I wanna see blood and gore and guts and veins in my teeth
    Eat dead burnt bodies
    I mean kill, Kill, Kill, Kill"
    And I started jumping up and down yelling, "Kill, Kill"
    and he started jumping up and down with me and we was both jumping up and down yelling, "Kill, Kill"
    And the sergeant came over, pinned a medal on me, sent me down the hall, said, "You're our boy"

    Didn't feel too good about it

    Proceeded on down the hall gettin more injections, inspections, detections, neglections
    and all kinds of stuff that they was doin' to me at the thing there
    and I was there for two hours, three hours, four hours, I was there for a long time
    going through all kinds of mean nasty ugly things and I was just having a tough time there
    and they was inspecting, injecting every single part of me, and they was leaving no part untouched
    Proceeded through, and when I finally came to the see the last man, I walked in
    walked in sat down after a whole big thing there, and I walked up and said, "What do you want?"
    He said, "Kid, we only got one question
    Have you ever been arrested?"

    And I proceeded to tell him the story of the Alice's Restaurant Massacre
    with full orchestration and five part harmony and stuff like that and all the phenome...
    and he stopped me right there and said, "Kid, did you ever go to court?"

    And I proceeded to tell him the story of the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures
    with the circles and arrows and the paragraph on the back of each one, and he stopped me right there and said
    "Kid, I want you to go and sit down on that bench that says Group W .... Now kid!!"

    And I, I walked over to the, to the bench there, and there is
    Group W's where they put you if you may not be moral enough to join the army after committing your special crime
    and there was all kinds of mean nasty ugly looking people on the bench there
    Mother rapers
    Father stabbers
    Father rapers!
    Father rapers sitting right there on the bench next to me!
    And they was mean and nasty and ugly and horrible crime-type guys sitting on the bench next to me
    And the meanest, ugliest, nastiest one, the meanest father raper of them all, was coming over to me
    and he was mean 'n' ugly 'n' nasty 'n' horrible and all kind of things and he sat down next to me and said, "Kid, whad'ya get?"
    I said, "I didn't get nothing, I had to pay $50 and pick up the garbage"
    He said, "What were you arrested for, kid?"
    And I said, "Littering"
    And they all moved away from me on the bench there, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things
    till I said, "And creating a nuisance"
    And they all came back, shook my hand, and we had a great time on the bench
    talking about crime, mother stabbing, father raping, all kinds of groovy things that we was talking about on the bench
    And everything was fine, we was smoking cigarettes and all kinds of things, until the Sergeant came over
    had some paper in his hand, held it up and said

    "Kids, this-piece-of-paper's-got-47-words-37-sentences-58-words-we-wanna-know-details-of-the-crime-time-of-the-crime-and-
    any-other-kind-of-thing-you-gotta-say-pertaining-to-and-about-the-crime-I-want-to-know-arresting-officer's-name-and-any-
    other-kind-of-thing-you-gotta-say", and talked for forty-five minutes and nobody understood a word that he said
    but we had fun filling out the forms and playing with the pencils on the bench there
    and I filled out the massacre with the four part harmony, and wrote it down there, just like it was
    and everything was fine and I put down the pencil, and I turned over the piece of paper, and there, there on the other side
    in the middle of the other side, away from everything else on the other side
    in parentheses, capital letters, quotated, read the following words

    ("Kid, Have You Rehabilitated Yourself?")

    I went over to the sergeant, said, "Sergeant, you got a lot a damn gall to ask me if I've rehabilitated myself
    I mean, I mean, I mean that just, I'm sittin' here on the bench, I mean I'm sittin here on the Group W bench
    'cause you want to know if I'm moral enough join the army, burn women, kids, houses and villages after bein' a litterbug"
    He looked at me and said, "Kid, we don't like your kind, and we're gonna send you fingerprints off to Washington"

    And friends, somewhere in Washington enshrined in some little folder, is a study in black and white of my fingerprints
    And the only reason I'm singing you this song now is 'cause you may know somebody in a similar situation
    or you may be in a similar situation, and if your in a situation like that there's only one thing you can do
    and that's walk into the shrink wherever you are, just walk in say "Shrink, You can get anything you want, at Alice's restaurant"
    And walk out
    You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and they won't take him
    And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them
    And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singing a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out
    They may think it's an organization
    And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said fifty people a day walking in
    singing a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out
    And friends they may thinks it's a movement

    And that's what it is , the Alice's Restaurant Anti-Massacre Movement
    and all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it come's around on the guitar

    With feeling
    So we'll wait for it to come around on the guitar, here and sing it when it does
    Here it comes

    You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
    You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
    Walk right in it's around the back
    Just a half a mile from the railroad track
    You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant

    That was horrible
    If you want to end war and stuff you got to sing loud
    I've been singing this song now for twenty five minutes
    I could sing it for another twenty five minutes
    I'm not proud... or tired

    So we'll wait till it comes around again, and this time with four part harmony and feeling

    We're just waitin' for it to come around is what we're doing

    All right now

    You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
    Excepting Alice
    You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
    Walk right in it's around the back
    Just a half a mile from the railroad track
    You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant

    Da da da da da da da dum
    At Alice's Restaurant

    Where Will The Dimple Be?
    Composer(s): Bob Merrill; Al Hoffman
    Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney; Alma Cogan



    Chorus:
    On the baby's knuckle, on the baby's knee
    Where will the baby's dimple be?
    Baby's cheek or baby's chin
    Seems to me it'll be a sin
    If it's always covered by the safety-pin
    Where will the dimple be?

    Every night we stay at home, my love and me alone
    Making wishes over dishes in the sink
    Will our bundle full of joy be a darling girl or boy?
    Will the booties be a baby blue or pink?

    Chorus

    Now I wake up every night with such an appetite
    Eat a chocolate pie, topped off with sauerkraut
    Then I put some records on, munch on crackers until dawn
    And just sit around all night and try to guess

    Chorus

    While I play the clinging vine, I watch that love of mine
    Build him cradles while I'm pecking at his cheek
    Not just one, but two or three, twins run in my family
    And my cousin Jane had triplets just last week

    Chorus x2

    Where Were You When I Needed You
    Composer(s): Steve Barri; P.F. Sloan
    Performer(s): The Grass Roots;
    and various other artists



    Don't bother crying
    Don't bother calling
    It's all over now
    There's no use in stalling
    The love I once felt
    I don't feel anymore for you
    This time I'll even open the door for you
    You walked out when I was down
    Well now I'm well off
    And look, look whose comin' round
    Where were you when I needed you
    Where were you when I wanted you
    Where were you when I need you
    Where
    You're looking good, it's hard to fight it
    But no use explain'
    I've already decided
    That goin' with you
    Is worse than without you
    I won't spend a lifetime worryin' about you
    When things got bad
    You disappeared
    But I'm back on my feet
    And look, look whose standin' there
    Where were you when I neeed you
    Where were you when I wanted you
    Where were you when I needed you
    Where
    You were so young
    And you were so wild
    I knew you were nobody's innocent child
    That first day I saw you
    You really got to me
    I thought I could change you
    What good did it do me
    When times got rought
    Ah, you would't wait
    Well now you're trippin' back
    And babe, babe it's too late
    Where were you when I needed you
    Where were you when I wanted you
    Where were you when I needed you
    Where (etc.)

    You're still my favorite girlfriend
    Alice Long
    And I don't forget about you
    When you're gone
    Even though right now you feel you don't belong
    You're still my favorite girlfriend
    Alice Long
    We both agreed that to get along
    To talk things over as they come up
    So if you think we don't see each other enough
    Then let's talk it over
    When we're together
    Nothing can keep us apart
    But if I ever forget to (??-unclear)
    But whatever
    You're still a part of my heart
    Can't you see
    Can't you see
    Oh you're still my favorite girlfriend
    Alice Long
    But you can't hold on to love by holding on
    When I am with you girl or when I'm gone
    Just remember
    You're still my favorite girlfriend
    Alice Alice Alice Alice Alice Alice
    You're still my favorite girlfriend

    Where were you on our wedding day
    I got the bad news that you went away
    Where were you little girl I say
    Where were you on our wedding day

    Give me back my ring
    I ain`t gonna let you keep a thing

    Where were you when I said I do
    Everybody laughing at my fine new suit
    Now where were you on our wedding day
    Where were you little girl I say

    Give me back my ring.
    I ain`t gonna let you keep a thing

    Now where were you when I searched the town
    I turned the whole neighbourhood up side down
    Now where were you little girl I say.
    Where were you on our wedding day

    Give me back my ring
    I ain`t gonna let you keep a thing

    Alice Is At It Again
    Composer(s): Noël Coward
    Performer(s): Noël Coward
    and multiple other artists



    In a dear little village
    Remote and obscure
    A beautiful maiden resided
    As to whether or not
    Her intentions were pure
    Opinions were sharply divided
    She loved to lie
    Out 'neath the darkening sky
    And allow the night breeze
    To entrance her
    She whispered her dreams
    To the birds flying by
    But seldom received any answer

    Over the field and along the lane
    Gentle Alice would love to stray
    When it came to the end of the day
    She would wander away
    Unheeding
    Dreaming her innocent dreams she strode
    Quite unaffected by heat or cold
    Frequently freckled or soaked with rain
    Alice was out in the lane

    Who she met there
    Every day
    Was a question
    Answered by none
    But she'd get there
    And she'd stay there
    'Til whatever she did
    Was undoubtedly done

    Over the field and along the lane
    Both her parents would call in vain
    Sadly, sorrowfully, they'd complain
    'Alice is at it again'

    Although that dear little village
    Surrounded by trees
    Had neither a school, nor a college
    Gentle Alice acquired
    From the birds and the bees
    Some exceedingly practical knowledge
    The curious secrets that nature revealed
    She refused to allow to upset her
    But she thought
    When observing the beasts of the field
    That things might have been organised better

    Over the field and along the lane
    Gentle Alice would make up
    And take up
    Her stand
    The road was not exactly arterial
    But it led to a town nearby
    Where quite a lot of masculine material
    Caught her rolling eye

    She was ready to hitchhike
    Cadillac or motorbike
    She wasn't proud or choosy
    All she
    Was aiming to be
    Was a pinked-up
    Minked-up
    Fly-by-night floozy

    When old Rogers
    Gave her pearls as large as
    Nuts on a chestnut tree
    All she'd say was
    'Fiddle-di-dee!
    The wages of sin will be the death of me!'

    Over the field and along the lane
    Gentle Alice's parents
    Would wait
    Hand in hand
    Her dear old white-headed mother
    Wistfully sipping champagne
    Said 'We've spoiled our child
    Spared the rod
    Open up the caviar and say "Thank God!"
    We've got no cause to complain!
    Alice is at it again!'

    Oh where was I the night
    that you surrendered to a sigh
    Where was I

    The moon was high the night
    that you first listened to a lie
    Where was I

    I always felt
    that you would melt
    in someon`s arms some night
    And I was right

    The moment came
    but what a shame
    that someone else came by
    Where was I

    Alice in Wonderland
    How do you get to Wonderland?
    Over the hill or underland?
    Or just behind a tree?

    When clouds go rolling by
    They roll away and leave the sky
    Where is the land beyond the eye?
    The people cannot see

    Where can it be?
    Where do the stars go?
    Where is the crescent moon?
    They must be somewhere in the sunny afternoon

    Alice in Wonderland
    Where is the path to Wonderland?
    Over the hill or here or there?
    I wonder where?

    Where To Now St. Peter?
    Composer(s): Bernie Taupin; Elton John
    Performer(s): Elton John;
    and various other artists



    I took myself a blue canoe
    And I floated like a leaf
    Dazzling, dancing
    Half enchanted
    In my Merlin sleep

    Crazy was the feeling
    Restless were my eyes
    Insane they took the paddles
    My arms they paralyzed

    So where to now St. Peter
    If it's true I'm in your hands
    I may not be a Christian
    But I've done all one man can
    I understand I'm on the road
    Where all that was is gone
    So where to now St. Peter
    Show me which road I'm on
    Which road I'm on

    It took a sweet young foreign gun
    This lazy life is short
    Something for nothing always ending
    With a bad report

    Dirty was the daybreak
    Sudden was the change
    In such a silent place as this
