Why Do Fools Fall In Love?
Composer(s): Morris Levy; Jimmy Merchant;
Herman Santiago; Frankie Lymon
Performer(s): Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers;
and various other artists



Ooh-wah, ooh-wah, ooh-wah, ooh-wah
Ooh-wah, ooh-wah, why do fools fall in love 

Why do birds sing so gay, and lovers await the break of day 
Why do they fall in love 
Why does the rain fall from up above 
Why do fools fall in love, why do they fall in love 

Love is a losing game, love can be a shame 
I know of a fool you see, for that fool is me 
Tell my why, tell me why 

Why do birds sing so gay, and lovers await the break of day 
Why do they fall in love 
Why does the rain fall from up above 
Why do fools fall in love, why do they fall in love 

Why does my heart skip a crazy beat 
For I know I will reach defeat 
Tell me why, tell my why 

Why does my heart skip a crazy beat 
For I know it will reach defeat 
Tell me why, tell me why 

Why do birds sing so gay, and lovers await the break of day 
Why do they fall in love  

Why do they fall in love 
Why...do fools...fall in love

Reindeer On My Roof
Composer(s): Tom Paxton
Performer(s): Tom Paxton



I can't sleep when I'm straining to hear the reindeer on my roof
All night long I'm wide awake to hear, reindeer on my roof
What was that that? The wind? What was that? A bird?
I can't sleep 'cos I want to hear Santa Claus
I've just got to keep my eyes open

Last year I fell asleep and I never heard reindeer on my roof
Dasher and Dancer, Comet & Blitzen, reindeer on my roof
Last year as you came down the chimney
Daddy said there was proof
Proof that Santa Claus came, and there were reindeer on the roof

I'm in bed and in my head I'm turning upside down
I'm awake you see and must be the chumpiest git in town
I can hear people murmering through my bedroom door
Footsteps passing, someone laughing
What are they whispering for?

Last year Santa Claus ate all the cookies, left just a couple of crumbs
Sister asleep, I won't wake her when the magic moment comes
When our house is quiet, on the longest night of the year
I'll be be the only one waken up
And I know what I'll hear

I can't sleep when I'm straining to hear the reindeer on my roof
All night long I'm wide awake to hear reindeer on my roof
What was that that the wind? What was that? a bird?
I can't sleep 'cos I want to hear Santa Claus
I've just got to keep my eyes open

Last year I fell asleep and I never heard reindeer on my roof
Dasher and Dancer Comet & Blitzen, reindeer on my roof
Last year as you came down the chimney
Daddy said there was proof
Proof that Santa Claus came, and there were reindeer on the roof

Why Did I Choose You?
Composer(s): M. Leonard; H. Martin
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand



Why did I choose you? 
What did I see in you?
I saw the heart you hide so well 
I saw a quiet man, who had a gentle way
a way that caught me in its glowing spell

Why did I want you? 
What could you offer me ?
A love to last a life-time through?
And when I lost my heart so many years ago
I lost it lovingly and willingly to you

If I had to choose again, I would still choose you

All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight
Composer(s): Hank Williams Jr.
Performer(s): Hank Williams Jr.; Highliners; Trick Pony



I got ketchup on my blue jeans, I just burnt my hand
Lord, its hard to be a bachelor man
I got girls that can cook, I got girls that can clean
I got girls that can do anything in between
I got to get ready, make everything right
'Cause all my rowdy friends are coming over tonight

Do you want a drink
Hey do you want to party
Hey honey this is ole Hank
Ready to get the thing started
We cooked the pig in the ground, got some beer on ice 
And all my rowdy friends are coming over tonight

Now my party pad is out in the woods 
It's a long, long way from here to Hollywood
But I got some natural queens out on the floor 
And ole Miss Mississippi just walked through the door
Got a little whirlpool just made for ten
And you can jump out and you can jump in 
You can do anything that you want to do 
But uh uhh, don't you step on my cowboy boots

Do you want to drink 
Hey do you want to party
Hey this is ole Hank
Ready to get your summer started
I cooked a pig in the ground, we got some beer on ice 
And all my rowdy friends are coming over tonight

Do you want to drink
Hey do you want to party
Hey hey this is rock'n Randall Hank
Ready to get the summer time started
We cooked the pig in the ground, we got some beer on ice
All my rowdy friends are coming over tonight
That's right 
Come on in! 

Why Can't You Bring Me Home
Composer(s): Wes Farrell; Joel Hirschhorn; Al Kasha
Performer(s): Jay & The Americans



Why do we always meet on the edge of town?
Why do we have to wait till the sun goes down?
Where do you live and why don't you even give me a place to go?

Chorus:
Come on baby, why can't you bring me
Baby baby, why can't you bring me
Come on baby, why can't you bring me home?

Baby baby, why can't you bring me home?

I'll ask around but nobody knows for sure
But they agree that your folks are mighty rude
Are you ashamed of the way you were raised
And that's why it stays unknown?

(chorus)

You may not wear such pretty clothes
But when you're in my arms, you love like a rose

What do I care if I see a broken chair?
Why do I need the best kind of silverware?
All that I need to make me complete is your tender love alone

(chorus)

All My Money Back
Performer(s): The Blues Brothers



You kiss me and you hug me
And feild me for a drink
You took all my money before I can do anything
You're using me
I said you're using me
If you don't do something about that
I want all my money back

I bought you a new car
Buyin' pretty clothes
I said right now ya
Don't I know
You're using me 
You're using me
If you don't do something about that
I want all my money back

You took all my money
You left me flat broke
You didn't leave me enough money
To buy a half a good coat
You're using me
If you don't do something about that
I want all my money back

Performer(s): Dinah Washington;

Why can't you behave?
Oh, why can't you behave?
After all the things you told me
And the promises that you gave
Oh, why can't you behave?

(Chorus)
Why, why, why can't you be good?

(Dinah)
I was faithful and true but what good will it do

(Chorus)
And do, do just as you should?

(Dinah)
Yes you had the right touch but I was askin' too much
Won't you turn that new leaf over
So your baby can be your slave?
Oh, why can't you behave?

There's a farm I know near my old home town
Where we two can go and try settling down
There I'll care for you forever
'Cause you're all in this world I crave
Oh, why can't you behave?
Why can't you behave?

Se per te e' finita
Perche' mi cerchi
Che cosa pretendi da me
E il mio amor non c'e' piu'
Ma non e' colpa mia
Sei tu che hai voluto cosi'
Tutto cio che ti spinge
A fare la pace
E' solo l'orgoglio che hai
Non ti sai rassegnare
Che io pensi ad un'altra
Vuoi aver
Tutto il mondo per te
Non cercarmi
No non t'amo piu'
Oh non cercarmi
Non pensare a me
Se per te e' finita
Perche' mi cerchi
Che cosa pretendi da me
Se vorrai se vorrai
Tu sarai un'amica
Perche' e' finita con te
Oh non cercarmi
No non t'amo piu'
Oh no non cercarmi
Non pensare a me
Oh no non cercarmi
Oh no no non cercarmi

I've seen you walking down in Chinatown
I called you but you could not look around

I see you standing in it every time

The color of your skin don't matter to me
As long as we can live in harmony

But did I know what I'm talking about

They wouldn't have you in the Mafi-a

Toi l'ami de nos vingt ans
Demain tu t'en iras
Avec un amour à ton bras
N'oublie pas pour autant les amis d'autrefois
Souviens-toi de nous parfois
Entre nous qui restons là
Souvent nous parlerons de toi
Et des joies du bon temps
Tu seras malgré toi près de nous
Car ton nom chante avec nos souvenirs d'enfants

Tout s'efface
Dès que vient l'amour
La vie passe
À chacun son tour

Tu es loin, bien loin déjà, aussi tout est changé
Nos cœurs sont trop lourds pour chanter
Il nous semble avec toi perdre un peu de la vie
Et c'est vrai car nos vingt ans s'enfuient

Tout s'efface
Dès que vient l'amour
La vie passe
À chacun son tour

Tout s'efface
Dès que vient l'amour
La vie passe
À chacun son tour

Why Can't The English?
Dutch & Spanish Titles:
Is Hier Nu Niemand; Por Qué No Pueden?
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
Performer(s): Rex Harrison;
and various other artists



Harrison: 
Look at her, a victim of the gutters
Condemned by every syllable she utters
By right she should be taken out and hung
For the cold-blooded murder of the English tongue

(Meow!) Heavens, what a sound!
This is what the English population
Calls an elementary education

Bystander: 
Come sir, I think you've picked a poor example

Harrison: 
Did I?
Hear them down in Soho Square
Dropping "H's" everywhere
Speaking any way they like
You sir, did you go to school?

Bystander: 
Whatta tyke me for, a fool?

Harrison: 
No one taught him "take" instead of "tyke"
Hear a Yorkshireman, or worse
Hear a Cornishman converse
I'd rather hear a choir singing flat
Just like this one
(Garn!)
I ask you sir, what sort of word is that?

It's Au and Garn that keep her in her place      
Not her wretched clothes and dirty face
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak
This verbal class distinction by now should be antique
If you spoke sir, instead of the way you do
Why you might be selling flowers too

Bystander: 
I beg your pardon

Harrison: 
An Englishman's way of speaking absolutely classifies him
The moment he talks he makes some other Englishman despise him
One common language I'm afraid we'll never get
Oh why can't the English learn to set a good example 
to people who's English is painful to your ears?

The Scotch and the Irish leave you close to tears
There are even places where English completely disappears
Well, in America they haven't used it for years

Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
Norwegians learn Norwegian, the Greeks are taught their Greek
In France every Frenchman knows his language from A to Zed
The French don't care what they do, actually
As long as they pronounce properly
Arabians learn Arabian with the speed of summer lightning
And Hebrews learn it backward which is absolutely frighening

If you use proper English you're regarded as a freak
Oh why can't the English, why can't the English learn to speak!

All My Love's Laughter
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
Performer(s): Jimmy Webb
and multiple other artists



All my love's laughter
All my love's faces
She comes in the morning
Her cloak in her arms
She's following after
The King of all Places
And your tenderest warnin'
Could bruise all her charm

But don't lose your heart
To that beautiful sinner
Who walks without shining a light
She stands in the shade
And the sun is there in her
But you'll never know til it's night

All my love's softness
All my love's graces
She carries all things
In her tiny white glove
She hides all her lostness
In satins and laces
And everyone says
She's searching for sweet love

But don't try to hold on
To Satan's proud lady
Who stands with her flock
all alone on the hill
Her stockings are hung
And her eyes are so shady
She's winning, and you never will

Why Can't It Wait Till Morning?

Performer(s): Phil Collins;
Fourplay; Synthesizer Rock Orch.



We can talk about it then
'Cause I've had a drink too many
And my troubles, well I ain't got any
Why can't it wait 'til daylight?
Things will seem much clearer then
I'm tired and my eyes are weary
And I just want you lying here with me
So close your eyes
I'll make it oh, so nice
Well I don't want to think about what we've said
And I don't want to know why we hurt ourselves
'Cause I just want to hold you so close to me
It'll take care of itself and I want to sleep
So why can't it wait 'til next time?
'Cause that time may never come
Stay here with your arms around me
You're going nowhere without me
So close your eyes
I'll make it oh, so nice for you

All my love, I give you all my love
The skies may fall, my love
But I will still be true

All my sighs will disappear at last
Now that you're here at last
My heart belongs to you

Oh, don't you ever let me go
You thrill me so

I can see, as I recall my life
I've waited all my life
To give you all my love
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay

Bow, caballero, and tip your sombrero
To your senorita, the lovely Chiquita
She's waiting so long
For you and your song
While you are playing, her heart will be swaying
And she will surrender her kisses so tender
To you she will cling
The moment that you sing

All my love, I give you all my love
The skies may fall, my love
But I will still be true

All my sighs will disappear at last
Now that you're here at last
My heart belongs to you

Oh, don't you ever let me go
You thrill me so

I can see, as I recall my life
I've waited all my life
To give you all my love
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay

Why Can't I Have You
Composer(s): Ric Ocasek
Performer(s): The Cars



A dreamy lips, set in motion, flashing
Ah breathless hush, poundin’ soft, lasting
Oh glossy mouth, a taste untamed, moving
Carousel, up and down
Just like you

Oh baby
Just one more time to touch you
Just one more time to tell you
You’re on my mind
Baby, why can’t I have you?
You’re breakin’ my heart in two
You know what I’m goin’ through
Oh baby, why can’t I have you?

Oh candy smile, all the while, glinting
Your eyes like mica, a lethal pout, hinting
(felt the pressure)
Oo and I felt the pressure, tight and warm, softly striking
(oo tripped and stumbled)
Oo I tripped and stumbled
I cling forever
I go all night

Oh baby
Just one more time to touch you
Just one more time to tell you
I’m not so blind
Baby, why can’t I have you?
Always breakin’ my heart in two
You know what I’m goin’ through
Uh oh baby, why can’t I have you?

(baby) oh baby (why can’t I have you? ) why can’t I have you?
You know what I’m goin’ through
(you’re breakin’ my heart in two)
You’re breakin’ my heart, breakin’ my heart
(you know what I’m gonna do)
(you’re breakin’ my heart) breakin’ my heart
(baby) oh baby (why can’t I have you? ) I need you
(you know what I’m goin’ through)
You’re breakin’ my heart (you’re breakin’ my heart in two)
Oh baby, I need you so much, I need you, touch
(you know what I’m gonna do)
(you’re breakin’ my heart)
(baby) oh baby (why can’t I have you?)
(you know what I’m goin’ through)

All My Love
Composer(s): Wilko Johnson
Performer(s): Dr. Feelgood



Well well well
I thought I heard it raining
All my love trouble in my mind
Lay awake all night
Till the morning light came shining through the blind

Well well well
How long did money hold you
If all my love can't keep you by my side
Everything you need lying at your feet
And you won't be satisfied

Big bell ring
Somebody gotta go now
Rolling slow drivers dressed in black
As they passin' through start to think of you
And all my love comes back

All my love
Gone but not forgotten
Hate you now when I think of what you've done
I can't fool myself using someone else
You're the only one 

Why Can't He Be You
Composer(s): Hank Cochran
Performer(s): Patsy Cline;
Norah Jones; Loretta Lynn; Reba McEntire



He takes me to the places you and I used to go
He tells me over and over that he loves me so
He gives me love that I never got from you
He loves me too, his love is true
Why can't he be you

He never fails to call and tell me I'm on his mind
And I'm lucky to have such a guy; I hear it all the time
And he does all the things that you would never do
He loves me, too, his love is true
Why can't he be you

He's not the one who dominates my mind and soul
And I should love him so, 'cause he loves me, I know
But his kisses leave me cold

He sends me flowers, calls on the hour, just to prove his love
And my friends say when he's around, I'm all he speaks of
And he does all the things that you would never do
He loves me too, his love is true
Why can't he be you
