Two Lovely Black Eyes
Composer(s): Charles Coburn 
Performer(s): Charles Coburn



Strolling so happy down Bethnal Green
This gay youth you might have seen
Tompkins and I, with his girl between
Oh! what a surprise!
I prais'd the Conservatives frank and free
Tompkins got angry so speedilee
All in a moment he handed to me
Two lovely black eyes!

Next time, I argued I thought it best
To give the conservative side a rest
The merits of Glad-stone I freely pressed 
When
Oh! what a surprise!
The chap I had met was a Tory true
Nothing the Liberals right could do
This was my share of that argument too
Two lovely black eyes!

The moral you've caught I can hardly doubt
Never on politics rave and shout
Leave it to others to fight it out, if
You would be wise
Better, far better, it is to let
Lib'rals and Tories alone, you bet
Unless you're willing and anxious to get
Two lovely black eyes!

Two lovely black eyes!
Oh! what a surprise!
Only for telling a man he was wrong
Two lovely black eyes!

Ich Singe Dir Ein Liebeslied
Composer(s): Hans May; Ernst Neubach
Performer(s): Joseph Schmidt



Ich singe dir ein Liebeslied
Ein literatur ......? ziert
Dass so heiß wie meine Sehnsucht blüht
Darf ich dir mein kleines Lied verschenken?

Vielleicht ....? dich mein Lied bewegt
Ich hab' mein Herz hineingelegt
Wenn der Wind zu dir die Töne trägt
Wird so eine Weile mein Gedenken

Meine Wünsche, meine Klagen
Habe ich nie gewagt zu sagen.
Drum singe ich dir ein Liebeslied
Ein Lied in dem die Sehnsucht blüht
Und was mir mit Worten nie gelang
Soll dir heut' Verrater mein Gesang

(Heilfroh, dass du ein Unfall läßt, hier)???
Wie soll ich's sagen dir, damit du nicht von mir gehst
Wenn ich dir mein Herz zu Füßen leg
Weiss ich nur einen Weg, dass du mich verstehst

Ich singe dir ein Liebeslied
Ein literatur ......? ziert
Dass so heiß wie meine Sehnsucht blüht
Darf ich dir mein kleines Lied verschenken?

Vielleicht ....? dich mein Lied bewegt
Ich hab' mein Herz hineingelegt
Wenn der Wind zu dir die Töne trägt
Wird so eine Weile mein Gedenken

Meine Wünsche, meine Klagen
Habe ich nie gewagt zu sagen
Drum singe ich dir ein Liebeslied
Ein Lied in dem die Sehnsucht blüht
Und was mir mit Worten nie gelang
Soll dir heut' Verrater mein Gesang

King Kong Song
Composer(s): Benny Andersson; Björn Ulvaeus
Performer(s): ABBA; Electric Boys



Well I was looking at a movie on the TV last night
Then I had a very funny notion, yeah
I really had to write a song about it
And then I'm gonna sing it with my rock'n' roll band
And I bet the people gonna like it, yeah
I know that everybody's gonna shout it

And what a dreadful mighty killer
A big black wild gorilla

We do the King Kong song, won't you sing along
Listen to the music and it couldn't go wrong
We do the King Kong song, gotta sing along
Can't you hear the beating of the monkey tom-tom
Listen to the rhythm of the King Kong song

Now we can make the jungle out of any old place
We can make gorillas out of people, yeah
Well, who can tell a monkey from a monkey
So people get together, gonna have a good time
Everybody listen to the music, yeah
'Cause what we're gonna sing is kinda funky

So let your arms hang down
And waddle all around
Like a dreadful mighty killer
A big black wild gorilla

We do the King Kong song, won't you sing along
Listen to the music and it couldn't go wrong
We do the King Kong song, gotta sing along
Can't you hear the beating of the monkey tom-tom
Listen to the rhythm of the King Kong song

Like a dreadful mighty killer
A big black wild gorilla

We do the King Kong song, won't you sing along
Listen to the music and it couldn't go wrong
We do the King Kong song, gotta sing along
Can't you hear the beating of the monkey tom-tom
Listen to the rhythm of the King Kong song

We do the King Kong song, won't you sing along
Listen to the music and it couldn't go wrong
We do the King Kong song, gotta sing along
Can't you hear the beating of the monkey tom-tom
Listen to the rhythm of the King Kong song

Two Lost Souls
Composer(s): Jerry Ross - Richard Adler
First release: 	Gwen Verdon and Stephen Douglass - 1955
Covered by multiple other artists



Two lost souls on the highway of life
We ain’t even got a sister or brother
But ain’t it just great?
Ain’t it just grand?
We got each other

Two lost ships on a stormy sea
One with no sail and one with no rudder
But ain’t it just great?
Ain’t it just grand?
We got each other

Two lost sheep in the wiles of the hills
Far from the other Jacks and Jills
We wandered away and went astray
But we ain’t fussin’ ‘cause we got us ’n 

We’re two lost souls on the highway of life
There is no one with whom we would rather
So, ain’t it just great?
Ain’t it just grand?
We got each other

Mama said “No”, so we eloped
And, oh, we ain’t got a castle
For which we hoped
We got a lot 
Because we got each other

Ich leb' im Traum
Singe ein Lied
Der Tag erwacht
Das Dunkel flieht
Ja, ich glaub an Wunder

Wünsche werden Wahrheit
Die vergessen sind
Wie ein Vogel fliegen
Freiheit fühlen
Die mein Lied besingt
In der Sonne liegen
Heimat spüren
Wo Musik erklingt
Durch Zeit und Raum
Leb' ich im Traum

Ich leb im Traum
Singe ein Lied
Der Abend kommt
Das Licht entflieht
Ja, ich glaub an Wunder
Noch mit weißem Haar
Werden auch die Wünsche
Niemals wirklich wahr
Wie ein Vogel fliegen
Freiheit fühlen
Die mein Lied besingt
In der Sonne liegen
Heimat spüren
Wo Musik erklingt
Durch Zeit und Raum
Leb' ich im Traum
Durch Zeit und Raum
Leb' ich im Traum

Ich leb' im Traum

In der Sonne liegen
Heimat spüren
Wo Musik erklingt
Durch Zeit und Raum
Leb' ich im Traum

King Midas In Reverse
Composer(s): Graham Nash; Allan Clarke; Tony Hicks
Performer(s): The Hollies;
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; The Posies



If you could only see me
And know exactly who I am
You wouldn't want to be me
Oh I can assure you of that
I'm not the guy to run with
'Cos I'll throw you off the line
I'll break you and destroy you
Given time
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse
It's plain to see it's hopeless
Going on that way we are
So even though I lose you
You'd be better of by far
He's not the one to hold your trust
Everything around him turns to dust
In his hand
Nothing he can do is right
He'd even like to sleep at night
But he can't
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse
I wish someone would find me
And help me gain control
Before I lose my reason and my soul
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse

Two Little Orphans
(aka Two Little Children)
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Roy Acuff
and multiple other artists



Two little children, a girl and a boy 
Stood by an old church door 
The little girls feet were as brown as the curls 
That hung upon the dress that she wore

The little boy's coat was all tattered and torn
And tears hung in his blue eyes 
Why Don't you go home to your mother I said 
And this was the maiden's reply

Mama's in Heaven, Angels took her away 
She is gone to that land fair and bright
She said she would come for her darlings some day 
Perhaps she will come tonight 

We can't earn our bread, we're too little, she said
Jim's five and I'm only seven
We can't earn our living since Papa is dead
And our darling Mama's in heaven

Papa got drowned on the sea long ago
We waited all night by the shore
For he was a lifesaving captain you know
And he never came back anymore

Perhaps, there's no room up in Heaven, she said
For two little darlings to keep
She then placed her hand under Jims little head
She kissed him, and both fell asleep

The sexton came early to ring the church bell
And found them beneath the snow white
The angels made room for two orphans to dwell
In heaven with Mama that night

Ich Kann Nicht Vergessen    
English & French Titles: I Never Will Marry - 1933/1939; Jamais Je Ne Me Marierai
Composer(s): W. Brandin
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri



Er ging von mir im Morgengrau'n
Zerbrach was uns zwei verband
Und mein Weg wird nun sehr einsam sein
Ich geb keinem mehr die Hand

Ich kann nicht vergessen
Denn er fehlt mir so sehr
Und wo gibt es einen
Der so ist wie er

Sein Zug fuhr fort nach Irgendwo
Ich weiß nicht einmal sein Ziel
Es gibt wohl keine Wiederkehr
Weil soviel in Scherben hier

Ich kann nicht vergessen
Denn er fehlt mir so sehr
Und wo gibt es einen
Der so ist wie er

Kein Tag sieht wie der andre aus
Und das wird auch bei mir so sein
Manch Mädchen schenkt sein Herz auf Zeit
Aber ich bleibe wohl allein

Ich kann nicht vergessen
Denn er fehlt mir so sehr
Und wo gibt es einen
Der so ist wie er

Ich kann nicht vergessen
Denn er fehlt mir so sehr
Und wo gibt es einen
Der so ist wie er

King Of Pain
Composer(s): Sting
Performer(s): The Police;
and various other artists



There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a little black spot on the sun today
That's my soul up there
It's the same old thing as yesterday
Tha's my soul up there
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
That's my soul up there
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop
That's my sould up there

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
That's my soul up there
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
That's my soul up there
There's a blue whale beached by a springtide's ebb
That's my soul up there
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
That's my soul up there

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
Ther's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread
King of pain

There's a red fox thorn by a huntsman's pack
That's my soul up there
There's a black winged gull with a broken back
That's my soul up there
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

King of pain
King of pain
King of pain
I'll always be king of pain

Two Little Girls In Blue
Composer(s): Ira Gershwin - Vincent Youmans
Performer(s): Madeline & Marion Fairbanks



(Dolly)
It seems as if this trip
Would take forever and a day
But where there is a will
You know, there has to be a way

(Polly)
I know a million reasons now
Why we should turn and run
But really, I'm so frightened
That I can't remember one

(Both)
With an Irish cook and a wild-man crew
And a mate who is Portuguese and six feet two
Ooh! Ooh! I wonder what they'd do
If they ever knew - if they ever knew -
We were two little girls in blue
Not one
But two little girls in blue

(Polly)
With you along, I know
I won't be very terrified
But dear, you know a trunk's
An awful place in which to hide

(Dolly)
Now be a Pollyana, Polly
And I'm sure you'll find
The trunk as comfy as the two
By four we left behind

(Both)
We can fool the cook and the wild-man crew
For we fooled our mother and our father too
Ooh!  ooh!  When we made our debut
And the old stork flew - and before they knew -
There were two litttle girls in blue
Not one
But two little girls in blue

Ich Halte Dich Schon Warm
English, French, & Italian Titles: I Will Warm Your Heart; Je Te Réchaufferai; Io Ti Riscalderò
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Der Herbst packt seine Koffer jetzt, Helene
Der Winter hat sein buntes Kleid zerfetzt
Was du tätst? Schau nicht so entsetzt, Helene
ich halte dich schon warm
ich halte dich schon warm

Geh'n wir zum Träumen an die Seine, Helene
ein letztes grünes Fleckchen finden wir
wenn's doch zu kühl wird rück zu mir, Helene
Ich halte dich schon warm
Ich halte dich schon warm

Dazu lege ich sofort für alle Fälle
gleich meinen Arm um dich
und frierst du auch dann
zieh ich dir auf der Stelle
noch meine Jacke an

Wenn dann vielleicht der Wind sich dreht, Helene
Und nun aus Norden noch viel kälter weht
Dräng dich an mich so nah es geht, Helene
Ich halte dich schon warm
Ich halte dich schon warm

Zwingt die Kälte uns dann doch zu fliehen
Ich bring dich und mein Glück in Sicherheit
Mein kleines Zimmer ist nicht weit, Helene
Ich halte dich schon warm
Ich halte dich schon warm

Ich schliess die Fenster und die Jalousien
Ich sperr die Tür von innen zweimal zu
Und mach ein Feuer an im Nu, Helene
Ich halte dich schon warm
Ich halte dich schon warm

Ich werd mit dem Holz für dich bestimmt nicht geizen
Ist keins mehr da was soll's?
Dann werd ich komplett die Möbel noch verheizen
Nur eines nicht, das Bett

Frierst du dann trotz allem doch, Helene
Noch fester leg ich nur um dich den Arm
Und lieb dich zehnmal heisser noch, Helene
Ich halte dich schon warm
Ich halte dich schon warm

King Of The Hill
Composer(s): Roger McGuinn; Tom Petty
Performer(s): Roger McGuinn



L.A.'s asleep
You roll up your window
The night air is cold
The freeway is clear

In a green Gucci bag
Are your prized possessions
The jewels of your mind
To hold back the fear

And when Monday comes around
There's a high lonesome sound
And she follows you down for the kill
And a white blinding light
Makes it all seem so right
And you feel like the king of the hill

The driveway is long
Your princess is lovely
Your servants all wait
For your knock on the door

How many years
Will you crawl through the castle
So satisfied
And still wanting more

And when Monday comes around
There's a high lonesome sound
And she follows you down for the kill
And a white blinding light
Makes it all seem so right
And you feel like the king of the hill

The guests have arrived
With all the right faces
But you miss the ball
In that room down the hall

It's sunrise again
The driveway is empty
The crystal is cracked
There's blood on the wall

And when Monday comes around
There's a high lonesome sound
And she follows you down for the kill
And a white blinding light
Makes it all seem so right
And you feel like the king of the hill

Two Little Girls In Blue
Composer(s): Charles Graham



An old man gazed on a photograph
In a locket he'd worn for years
His nephew then asked him the reason why
That picture had caused him tears
"Come listen," he said, "I will tell you, lad
A story that's strange, but true!
Your father and I, at the school one day
Met two little girls in blue
That picture is one of those girls," he said
And to me she was once a wife
I thought her unfaithful, we quarrelled lad
And parted that night for life
My fancy of jealousy wronged a heart
A heart that was good and true 
For two better girls never lived than they
Those two little girls in blue"

Two little girls in blue, lad
Two little girls in blue
They were sisters, we were brothers
And learned to love the two
And one little girl in blue, lad
Who won your father's heart
Became your mother 
I married the other
And now we have drifted apart

Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri



Ich glaube nicht an Superstars
An Rendezvous in Kellerbars
Ich glaube nicht an Glanz und Ruhm
An Hollywood und Heldentum
Ich glaub nicht, dass man älter wird
Solang das Herz nicht kälter wird
Dass besser ist, wer mehr kassiert
Und dass das Geld die Welt regiert

Ich glaub an Zärtlichkeit
Und ich glaub an Liebe
Und vor allem glaube ich
An nichts so wie an dich

Ich glaub nicht, dass Gott die nur liebt
Die er oft in der Kirche sieht
Ich glaub nicht an Gerechtigkeit
Die nur bestraft und nie verzeiht
An Klugheit, die sich selbst gefällt
Und sich für was Bess'res hält
Ich glaub an kein Moralgesetz
Dass die, die anders sind, verletzt

Ich glaub an Ehrlichkeit
Und ich glaub an Freundschaft
Und vor allem glaube ich
An nichts so wie an dich

Wohin die Reise morgen geht
Wie lange sich die Welt noch dreht
Dass weiß niemand
Doch ich
Glaub ganz fest an dich

Ich glaube nicht an Sicherheit
An Pillen gegen Traurigkeit
An Kunst, die niemand mehr versteht
An Fortschritt, der nur rückwärts geht
Ich glaub nicht an den Unterschied
Von Schwarz und Weiß und Nord und Süd
Ich glaub's nicht, wenn man mir erzählt
Dass nichts mehr gut ist auf der Welt

Ich glaub an Selbstvertrau'n
Und ich glaub an Morgen
Und vor allem glaube ich
An nichts so wie an dich

Ich glaub an Zärtlichkeit
Und ich glaub an Liebe
Und vor allem glaube ich
An nichts so wie an dich

Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah but two hours of pushin' broom 
Buys a eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means, 
King of the road

Third boxcar midnight train, destination Bangor, Maine
Old worn out suit and shoes, I don't pay no union dues
I smoke old stogies I have found, 
Short but not too big around
I'm a man of means by no means, 
King of the road

I know every engineer on every train
All of their children and all of their names
And every handout in every town
And every lock that ain't locked when no-one's around
I sing...

Two Little Girls From Little Rock
Composer(s): Jule Styne - Leo Robin
Performer(s): Marilyn Monroe & Jane Russell



We're just two little girls from Little Rock
We lived on the wrong side of the tracks
But the gentlemen friends who used to call
they never did seem to mind at all
They came to the wrong side of the tracks

Then someone broke my heart in Little Rock
so I up and left the pieces there
Like a little lost lamb I roamed about
I came to New York and I found out
that men are the same way everywhere

I was young and determined to be wined and dined and ermined
and I worked at it all around the clock
Now one of these days in my fancy clothes
I'm a going back home and punch the nose
of the one who broke my heart (the one who broke my heart)
The one who broke my heart in Little Rock, Little Rock, Little Rock... Little Rock

I'm just a little girl from Little Rock
a horse used to be my closest pal
Though I never did learn to read or write
I learned about love in the pale moonlight
and now I'm an educated gal

I learned an awful lot in Little Rock
and here's some advice I'd like to share
find a gentleman who is shy or bold
or short or tall, or young or old...
as long as the guy's a millionaire!

For a kid from the small street I did very well on Wall Street
though I never owned a share of stock
And now that I'm known in the biggest banks
I'm going back home and give my thanks
to the one who broke my heart (the one who broke my heart)
The one who broke my heart in Little Rock!

Geht ein Sturm durch mein Blut 
Steht die Erde in Flammen 
Und wird es immer tun!

When We Were Two Little Boys
Composer(s): Edward Madden - Theodore Morse
First release: Billy Murray - 1903
Covered by multiple other artists



Two little boys had two little toys 
Each had a wooden horse 
Gaily they played each summers day 
Warriors both of cause 
One little chap then had a mishap 
Broke off his horses head 
Wept for his toy, then cried with joy 
As his young playmate said 

Did you think I would leave you crying 
When there's room on my horse for two 
Climb up here, Jack and don't be crying 
I can go just as fast with two 
When we grow up we'll both be soliders 
And our horses will not be toys 
And I wonder if we'll remember when we were 
Two little boys 

Long years past, war came so fast 
Bravely they marched away 
Cannon roared loud and in the mad crowd 
Wounded and dieing lie, up goes a shout 
A horse dashes out, out from the ranks so blue 
Gallops away to where Joe lay, then came a voice he know 

Did you think I would leave you dieing 
When there's room on my horse for two 
Climb up here, Joe we'll soon be flying 
I can go just as fast with two 
Did you say Joe I'm all a tremble, perhaps it's the battles noise 
But I thinks it's that I remember when we were two little boys 

Do you think I would leave you dieing 
There's room on my horse for two 
Climb up here, Joe we'll soon be flying 
Back to the ranks so blue 
Can you feel Joe I'm all a tremble, perhaps it's the battles noise 
But I think it's that I remember when we were two little boys

I Wouldn't Treat My Dog (Like You Treat Me)
Composer(s): Cy Coben
Performer(s): Skeeter Davis



I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me, babe
I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me
If I made my dog cry like you made me cry yesterday
The neighbors all would go and call the ASPCA

I wouldn't hurt my dog like you hurt me, babe
I wouldn't say those mean old things to him
If I pushed my little hound the way you push me around
A fightin' bitin' mean ol' pooch he'd be, babe
But I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me

I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me, babe
At least I'd take him out once in a while
I wouldn't pet another dog if he was standing there
I'd hug him and I'd kiss him and I'd let him know I care

I'd give him love and kindness all the time, babe
And he pays me back with loyalty
Though he's just a D-o-g, he's got feelings too, you see
And I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me, babe
No, I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me
