Two Divided By Love Composer(s): Brian Potter - Dennis Lambert Performer(s): The Ventures; The Grass Roots
Two divided by love Can only be one And one is a lonely number Two divided by love Can only be sad Can only hurt one another
Every night your tears come down And I know how you're feelin' inside Loneliness is no one's friend I've been takin' the same kind of ride And that just shouldn't be If you're still lovin' me Come on baby
Two divided by love Can only be one And one is a lonely number Two divided by love Can only be sad Can only hurt one another
I'd by lyin' to myself If I said I was gettin' along All I do is think of you and I know That it's here you belong Come on girl make your way We can start from today Puttin' it back together 'cause
Two divided by love Can only be one And one is a lonely number Two divided by love Can only be sad Can only hurt one another
Take away the rain from a flower And the flower just can't grow Take away you from me girl Out of my mind Out of my mind Out of my mind Out of my mind
Two divided by love Can only be sad Can only be broken hearted Two divided and blue Should take what they had And go back to where they started
Two divided by love Can only be one And one is a lonely number Two divided by love Can only be sad Can only hurt one another
Iba Yo Para Una Fiesta (Traditional) Performer(s): Victor Jara
Iba yo para una fiesta cuando me paso esta mano procuro sacar temprano el boleto es lo que cuenta.
El ruletero protesta cuando el boleto me dio diciendome de que yo me lo pase de inocente porque en el medio e la gente una niña se aflojo
La niña muy asusta hallo a quien echarle culpa y hallo muy buena disculpa dandome a mi una mirada se puso muy colorada cuando yo le dije asi señorita por aqui que sera lo que ha pasado algo se le ha refalado del atracon que le di
La niña puso querella y a justicia me llevo ella dice que fui yo y yo digo que fue ella para una niña tan bella claro que eso era una ofensa el publico bien lo piensa y el fiscal me pregunto entonces le dije yo ella fue la sinverguenza
Un hermano que tenia se dio por muy ofendido y como era merecido me mando la policia despues a mi me decia porque te culpan a ti? dicen señor que yo fui por eso me traen preso ella fue la del suceso y me echa la culpa a mi
Al fin la niña despues vino y me dio un reempujon y yo con justa razon otro empujon le pege ahi se vino otra vez me pego una de patadas le aporre una bofetada y se armo una pelotera dijo el juez todos pa fuera a aflojarse por alla

So kiss me goodbye and I'll try not to cry All the tears in the world won't change your mind There's someone new and she's waiting for you Soon your heart will be leaving me behind Linger awhile, then I'll go with a smile Like a friend who just happened to call For the last time pretend your are mine My darling, kiss me goodbye My darling, kiss me goodbye
I.O.U. Composer(s): Jimmy Dean; Larry Markes Performer(s): Jimmy Dean
Many people look through their wallet or their pocket books and, way down at the bottom past the credit cards and baby pictures and so on you usually find a little 'ol piece of dog-eared poetry I was cleaning out my wallet the other day and ran across a whole bunch of I.O.U's, some of 'em thirty-five years overdue And you know the funny thing, all these I.O.U's are owed to one person and I kinda felt like that maybe now would be a pretty good time for an accountin'
Mom, I sure hope you're listenin'
Sweet lady, I.O.U. for so many things..... A lot of services, like nightwatchman for instance..... Lyin' awake nights, listenin' for coughs and cries and creakin' floorboards.....hah-hah, and me comin' in too late Boy, you had the eye of an eagle and the roar of a lion But you always had a heart as big as a house
I.O.U. for services like, uh, short order cook, chef, baker..... For makin' sirloin out o' hamburger an' turkey out o' tuna fish And big ol' strappin' boys out of leftovers
I.O.U. for cleanin' services The daily scrubbing of face and ears....all work done by hand And for the frequent dustin' of a small boy's pants To try to make sure that you led a spotless life And for washin' and ironin' that no laundry could ever do Foy dryin' the tears of childhood And ironin' out the problems of growin' up
I.O.U. for services as a bodyguard For protectin' me from the terrors of thunderstorms and nightmares Hah, And too many green apples
And Lord knows, I.O.U. for medical attention For nursing me through measles, mumps, bruises Bumps, splinters and spring fever Oh-oh, let's not forget medical advice....important things like "If you keep on scratching that, it'll never get well" or "If you cross your eyes, they're gonna stick like that" And probably the most important advice of all "Boy, you be sure you got on clean underwear, in case you're in an accident"
And I.O.U. for veterinarian services For feeding every lost dog that I dragged home at the end of the rope And for healing the pains of puppy love
And I.O.U. for entertainment..... Entertainment that kept the household goin' through some pretty rough times..... And for wonderful productions at Christmas, the Fourth of July, Birthdays..... And for making make-believe come true..... And you did it all on such a limited budget
I.O.U. for construction work, for building kites and confidence, hopes and dreams an'..... Somehow you made them all touch the sky..... And for cementin' together a family So it would stand the worst kind of shocks and blows..... And for layin' down a good strong foundation to build a life on
I.O.U. for carrier charges..... For carryin' me on your books for the necessities of life That a growin' boy somehow, well, they just gotta have Things like, hah-hah, a pair of high top boots With a little pocket on the side for a jack-knife
And one thing, Mom, I'll never forget.... When there were two pieces of pie and three hungry people..... You were always the one who decided, well, I'm not really that hungry anyhow
These are just a few of the things for which payment is long overdue.. The person that I owe 'em to worked very, very cheap.... She managed by simply doin' without a whole lot o' things that she needed herself.... My I.O.U's add up to more than I could ever hope to repay But you know the nicest thing about it all.... That I know, that she had marked the entire bill 'Paid In Full' For just one kiss and four little words....Mom, I Love You!
Kiss Me Goodnight, Sergeant-Major Composer(s): Art Noell; Don Pelosi Performer(s): Arthur Askey; Alan Breeze; Vera Lynn; George Formby; Len Luscombe; Elsie Carlisle; Chas & Dave
Private Jones came in one night Full of cheer and very bright He'd been out all day upon the spree He bumped into Sergeant Smeck Put his arms around his neck And in his ear he whispered tenderly.....
Kiss me goodnight, Sergeant-Major Tuck me in my little wooden bed We all love you, Sergeant-Major When we hear you bawling, "Show a leg!"
Don't forget to wake me in the morning And bring me 'round a nice hot cup of tea Kiss me goodnight Sergeant-Major Sergeant-Major, be a mother to me
Kiss me goodnight, Sergeant-Major Tuck me in my little wooden bed We all love you, Sergeant-Major Even when your neck grows rather red
Don't forget to wake me in the morning And bring me 'round a nice hot cup of tea Kiss me goodnight, Sergeant-Major Sergeant-Major, be a mother to me

Venus, My Shining Love Composer(s): George M. Cohan Performer(s): Harry Leighton
Most ev'ryone has a sweetheart With beautiful eyes that shine I'm not acquainted with your love But you're well acquainted with mine
Excelling all other ladles Fairer than any by far You must admit that the brightest of all Is Venus, my shining star
Venus, beautiful Venus, how bright you shine None shall e'er come between us, sweet Venus mine None as bright as my darling so far up above Venus, my beautiful Venus, my shining love
Some say true love ne'er runs smoothly But with them I disagree Not a cross word has been uttered 'Twixt Venus, my loved one, and me
Leading my star to the altar Was my most beautiful dream When I compare her with Saturn or Mars Like darkness to her they seem
Venus, beautiful Venus, how bright you shine None shall e'er come between us, sweet Venus mine None as bright as my darling so far up above Venus, my beautiful Venus, my shining love
Kiss Me Quick Composer(s): Doc Pomus; Mort Shuman Performer(s): Elvis Presley; and various other artists

Once on a cannibal isle there dwelt a dark-eyed maid She lived all alone in a little log hut 'neath the palm tree's shade And on that island she reigned as queen One day a stranger appeared on the scene Said he, 'Why waste your time out in this awful clime? Oh, come with me, my pretty southern maid to my home across the sea' But he went fairly red when she turned up her nose and said
'I wouldn't leave my little wooden hut for you I've got one lover, and I don't want two What might happen there is no knowing If he comes around, so you'd better be a-going For I wouldn't leave my little wooden hut for you!'

Our paths may never cross again Maybe my heart will never mend But I'm glad for all the good times 'Cause you brought me so much sunshine Love was the best it's ever been
I wouldn't have missed it for the world Wouldn't have missed loving you girl You've made my whole life worth while, with your smile I wouldn't trade one memory, cause you mean too much to me Even though I lost you girl I wouldn't have missed it for the world
They say that all good things must end Love comes and goes just like the wind You've got your dreeams to follow But if I had the chance tomorrow You know I'd do it all again.
I wouldn't have missed it for the world Wouldn't have missed loving you girl You've made my whole life worth while, with your smile I wouldn't trade one memory, cause you mean too much to me Even though I lost you girl I wouldn't have missed it for the world
Oh I wouldn't trade one memory, cause you mean too much to me Even though I lost you girl, I wouldn't have missed it for the world
I wouldn't have missed it for the world Wouldn't have missed loving you girl You've made my whole life worth while, with your smile I wouldn't trade one memory, cause you mean too much to me Even though I lost you girl I wouldn't have missed it for the world ...
