Armistice Day
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Paul Simon



On armistice day
The philharmonic will play
But the songs that we sing
Will be sad
Shufflin brown tunes
Hanging around, ahoo
M-m-m-m-m-m-m
No long drawn blown out excuses
Were made
When I needed a friend she was there
Just like an easy chair

Oo, oo-o
M-m-m-m-m-m-m

Armistice day
Armistice day
That's all I really wanted to say

Oh I'm weary from waiting
In washington d.c.
I'm coming to see my congressman
But he's avoiding me
Weary from waiting down in washington d.c.

Oh congresswoman
Won't you tell that congressman
I've waited such a long time
I've about waited all I can
Oh congresswoman, won't you tell that congressman

I've got a dirty, dirty feelin'
Dirty feelin's goin' on
You know I almost hit the ceilin'
When I woke up and you were gone

I took you in when you were hungry
And now your cuttin' out on me
I'm gonna help you little darlin'
That ain't the way it's gonna be

I hear you're pretty good at runnin'
But pretty soon you'll slip and fall
That's when I’ll drag you home with me girl
I'm gonna chain you to the wall

You know I’m lookin' for you baby
I ain't gonna take it layin' down
I heard that you were cookin' baby
Way on the other side of town

I've got a dirty, dirty feelin'
Dirty feelin's goin' on
You know I almost hit the ceilin'
When I woke up and you were gone

If you're troubled and you can't relax
Close your eyes
Think on this
If the rumors floating in your head are turned to facts
Close your eyes
And think on this

Armenia, city in the sky
Armenia, city in the sky

If you ever want to lose some time
Just take off
There's no risk
If you ever want to disappear
Just take off
And think of this

Armenia, city in the sky
Armenia, city in the sky

The sky is glass
The sea is brown
And everyone
Is upside-down

Armenia, city in the sky
Armenia, city in the sky

Covered by multiple other artists



Times are hard
You're afraid to pay the fee
So you find yourself somebody
Who can do the job for free
When you need a bit of lovin'
Cause your man is out of town
That's the time you get me runnin'
And you know I'll be around
I'm a fool to do your dirty work
Oh yeah
I don't wanna do your dirty work
No more
I'm a fool to do your dirty work
Oh yeah
Light the candle
Put the lock upon the door
You have sent the maid home early
Like a thousand times before
Like the castle in its corner
In a medieval game
I foresee terrible trouble
And I stay here just the same
I'm a fool to do your dirty work
Oh yeah
I don't wanna do your dirty work
No more
I'm a fool to do your dirty work
Oh yeah 

Armed & Extremely Dangerous
Composer(s): Allan Felder - Norman Harris
Performer(s): First Choice



Calling all cars... calling all cars
Be on the lookout for Dangerous Dan... 
This man is wanted by the F.B.I. - 10-4 

Said he's dangerous, armed and extremely dangerous 

The day he walked into my life he caught me with my guard down 
Don't let him talk his sweet talk on ya 
'Cause I've hit on the bait that he threw and I got hooked
Don't let it happen to you 

Said he's dangerous, armed and extremely dangerous 
Said he's dangerous, armed and extremely dangerous 

The day I came into his charms who would think that he would succeed 
 
Then go on his way leaving me here with another mouth to feed 
So girls if you see him, you might think that you need him 
He might look like the average guy, but he's wanted by the F.B.I. 

Said he's dangerous, armed and extremely dangerous 
Said he's dangerous, armed and extremely dangerous 

Said he's dangerous 
Oh, hell do it - bleed the life from me 
Said he's dangerous 
He don't care for nobody but his self 

Said he's dangerous, armed and extremely dangerous 
Said he's dangerous, armed and extremely dangerous 

Look out girls, he might be 
Walkin' the streets right now 
Said he's dangerous, extremely dangerous

I'm gonna tell you a story

I'm gonna tell you a big bad story, baby
Aww, it's all about my town

Yeah, down by the river
Down by the banks of the river Charles (aw, that's what's happenin' baby)
That's where you'll find me
Along with lovers, muggers, and thieves (aw, but they're cool people)
Well I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, you're the Number One place)
Frustrated women (I mean they're frustrated)
Have to be in by twelve o'clock (oh, that's a shame)
But I'm wishin' and a-hopin, oh
That just once those doors weren't locked (I like to save time for
my baby to walk around)
Well I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, yeah)

Because I love that dirty water
Oh, oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, yeah)

Well, I love that dirty water (I love it, baby)
I love that dirty water (I love Baw-stun)
I love that dirty water (Have you heard about the Strangler?)
I love that dirty water (I'm the man, I'm the man)
I love that dirty water (Owww!)
I love that dirty water (Come on, come on)

Armchair Quarterback
Composer(s): B. Russell
Performer(s): Ray Stevens



Well, the season's finally here and the players hit the field 
and every man feels like a boy and every wife could kill
He's been buying beer since August
Running hot and running cold and thirty friends are on alert...
that's all the den will hold!

He's the Armchair Quarterback he's full of beer and full of snacks
The all-american man, with a cool one in his hand 
The Armchair Quarterback he's kind of fun and kind of fat 
The all-american man, with a cool one in his hand

Now if you stand and block the screen you may just lose your life 
and that goes for all thirty friends and the thirty friends' wives 
Then the den falls silent we just need a yard or two 
They wouldn't change that channel now if the Rockett's came on nude 
The announcer agrees with the referee but the den does not at all 
And thirty fists are clinched in hate and pound upon the wall 
Why any fool could see he made that first down when he dived! 
If Howard Cosell came in now he'd never get out alive

'Cause he's the Armchair Quarterback he's full of beer and full of snacks 
The all-american man, with a cool one in his hand

The wives are all disgusted and they're meeting in the yard 
on their way to wear the numbers off our credit cards (shop, shop, shop)

He's got his six year old son, Billy, sittin' on the floor 
Watching college wrap-up and writing down the scores 
There stands uncle Andy bending empty cans 
"for god sakes, Andy, get that cool one out of Billy's hand!" 
Well, what do you know it's half time where's the bathroom tell me please 
Don't go outside 'cause the neighbors dog bites everything he sees

Well if they make it through the Super Bowl well she'll be happy then 
'cause she'll get back her TV and he'll give up the den 
He'll be tired and incoherent and he will not know his name 
But he'll lift one eyelid just to say: "wake me up for the ol' score game!" 
with a cool one in his hand

Broken pretzles in the rug 
The beer cans could be worse 
She'll clean it up tomorrow and dread September first when once again...ha ha...

The season's finally here and the players hit the field 
And every man feels like a boy and every wife could kill 
He's been buying beer since August running hot and running cold 
And thirty friends are on alert...that's all the den will hold

He's the Armchair Quarterback he's full of beer and full of snacks 
The all-american man, with a cool one in his hand 
Yeah, the Armchair Quarterback he's kind of fun and kind of fat 
The all-american man, with a cool one in his hand

Dirty Old Town

Composer(s): Ewan McColl
First performance by: Ewan McColl - 1949
Covered by multiple other artists



Found my love by the gaswork croft
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town, dirty old town

I heard a siren from the dock
Saw a train set the night on fire
Smelled the spring on the sulfured wind
Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town

We're goin' to take a good sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
And we'll chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town

And oh we'll chop you down
Oh, dirty, dirty, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
And oh whoa-oh dirty old town
Chop you down one of these days

Arlequin
Composer(s): Jacques Plante - Claude Carrère
Performer(s): Sheila



Avec des camarades ardentes et passionnées
Un jour sur une estrade notre théatre est né
Accessoires de fortune, décors improvisés
Tout fut prétexte à se déguiser et par bonheur moi j'ai reçu
De tous les rôles celui qui me plaisait le plus

En habits d'Alequin on peut faire le diable
Jouer des tours pendables aux autres comédiens
En habits d'Arlequin on fait mille farces
En riant sous son masque car on ne risque rien

Nous partons en voyage à travers le pays
De villages en villages nous jouons la comédie
Dans cette vie errante nous ressentons souvent
Bien des moments de découragement
Mais je retrouve ma bonne humeur
Dès que j'avance dans le halot des projecteurs

En habits d'Alequin on peut faire le diable
Jouer des tours pendables aux autres comédiens
En habits d'Arlequin on fait mille farces
En riant sous son masque car on ne risque rien

Un peu de rêve et beaucoup de ferveur
Voilà notre compagnie d'amateurs
A notre répertoire sont toujours les bienvenus
Les chefs-d'œuvre notoires comme les pièces inconnues
Et j'avoue Molière, Racine ou Marivaux
Nous donne chaque soir des plaisirs nouveaux
Mais j'ai toujours un petit regret
Pour le personnage que mon cœur préfère en secret

En habits d'Alequin on peut faire le diable
Jouer des tours pendables aux autres comédiens
En habits d'Arlequin on fait mille farces
En riant sous son masque car on ne risque rien

Entouré de legende, il cache une âme tendre
Tout le monde s'y laisse prendre
Moi j'aime bien Arlequin!

Dirty - you're a dirty ol' man
You can't keep your hands to yourself
You're a dirty ol' man
Go mess around with somebody else

That I've done told you
You can look but please don't touch
'Cause you don't understand what I mean
Can't you see I'm not old enough
You say that ain't, ain't nothing but a number - number
You're much too experienced for me
Ooh, all you wanna do is take my love
All you want is another victory

You dirty ol' man, you can't keep your hands to yourself
You're a dirty ol' man, go mess around with somebody else

Next time you see me
You can speak but please don't stuck
'Cause I believed every word you said
And here I am with a broken heart
Don't run your game down, don't waste it on me, no, no, no, no, no
'Cause you're a married man and I'm still free
Ooh, all you wanna do is take my love
All you want is another victory

You dirty ol' man, you can't keep your hands to yourself
Dirty ol' man, go mess around with somebody else
Dirty, dirty, dirty ol' man - yeah
A dirty, dirty, dirty ol' man - yeah...

Oh, the bram' bush took the cabin I was born in
And the browry claimed the fields I used to plow
There's a yearnin' in my heart to be going
To that forty acre patch got sewed in sprouts

Arkansas, are your rivers still flowin'
Is your cotton growin', white as snow
Are the squirrels still a barkin'
Up on old Crody's Ridge
Has the girl I been sparkin'
Gone and burned another bridge
Arkansas

I have known the troubles
I was born to know
I have wanted things
A poor man's born to want

And in all my dreams and mem'ries
I go runnin'
Through the fields of Arkansas
From which I sprung

Arkansas, are your rivers still flowin'
Is your cotton growin', white as snow
Do the young men still piddle
With the thought of growin' rich
And slowly turn to old folks
Sittin' whittle'in on a stick
Arkansas

Well he's not very handsome to look at 
Oh he's shaggy and he eats like a hog 
And he's always killin' my chickens 
That dirty old egg-suckin' dog 

Egg-suckin' dog 
I'm gonna stomp your head in the ground 
If you don't stay out of my hen house 
You dirty old egg-suckin' hound 

Now if he don't stop eatin' my eggs up 
Though I'm not a real bad guy 
I'm gonna get my riffle and send him 
To that great chicken house in the sky 

Egg-suckin' dog 
Your always hangin' around 
But you'd better stay out of my hen house 
You dirty old egg-suckin' hound

Arizona
Performer(s): Mark Lindsay



She must belong to San Francisco 
She must've lost her way 
Posting a poster of Poncho and Cisco one California day 
She says she believes in Robin Hood and brotherhood 
And colours of green and grey 
And all you can do is laugh at her 
Doesn't anybody know how to pray? 

Arizona, take off your rainbow shades 
Arizona, have another look at the world, my, my 
Arizona, cut off your Indian braids 
Arizona, hey won't you go my way? 
Mmm, Strip off your pride 
You're acting like a teeny-bopper run away child 
And scrape off the paint from the face of a little town saint 

Arizona, take off your hobo shoes 
Arizona, hey won't you go my way?  

Follow me up to San Francisco 
I will be guide, your way 
I'll be the Count of Monte Christo 
You'll be the Countess May 
And you can believe in Robin Hood and brotherhood 
And rolling the ball in the hay 
And I will be reading you an Aesop´s fable 
Anything to make you stay 

Arizona, take off your rainbow shades 
Arizona, have another look at the world, my, my 
Arizona, cut off your Indian braids 
Arizona, hey won't you go my way? 
Hey, Arizona, take off your hobo shoes 
Arizona, have another look at the world, my, my 
Arizona, get off your eight ball blues 
Arizona, hey won't you go my way? 
Come on, Arizona; take off your rainbow shades ...

Dirty No-Gooder's Blues
Composer(s): Bessie Smith
Performer(s): Bessie Smith



Did you ever fall in love with a man that was no good?
Did you ever fall in love with a man that was no good?
No matter what you did for him, he never understood

The meanest thing he could say would thrill you through and through
The meanest thing he could say would thrill you through and through
And there wasn't nothin' too dirty for that man to do

He'd treat you nice and kind till he win your heart and hand
He'd treat you nice and kind till he win your heart and hand
Then he git so cruel that man, you just could not stand

Lawd, I really don't think no man's love can last
Lawd, I don't think no man's love can last
They'll love you to death then treat you like a thing of the past

There's nineteen men livin' in my neighborhood
There's nineteen men livin' in my neighborhood
Eighteen of them are fools and the one ain't no doggone good

Lawd, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd
Lawd, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd
That dirty no-good man treats me just like I'm a dog

Dirty Love
Composer(s): Frank Zappa
First release by: The Mothers - 1973



Give me
Your dirty love
Like you might surrender
To some dragon in your dreams

Give me
Your dirty love
Like a pink donation
To the dragon in your dreams

I don't need your sweet devotion
An' I don't want your cheap emotion
Whip me up some dragon lotion
For your dirty love
Your dirty love

Give me
Your dirty love
Like some tacky little pamphlet
In your daddy's bottom drawer

Give me
Your dirty love
I don't believe you never seen
His book before

I don't need no consolation
I don't want your reservation
I only got one destination
An' that's your dirty love
Your dirty love

Give me
Your dirty love
Just like your mama
Make her fuzzy poodle do
(Oh, Frenchie . . . )

Give me
Your dirty love
The way your mama
Make that nasty poodle chew

I'll ignore your cheap aroma
And your little-bo-peep diploma
I'll just put you in a coma
With some dirty love
Some dirty love
That dirty love
That dirty love

The poodle bites!
(Come on, Frenchie)
The poodle chews it!
(Snap it!)
The poodle bites!
(Come on, Frenchie)
The poodle chews it!
(Snap it!)
The poodle bites!
(Come on, Frenchie)
The poodle chews it!
(Snap it!)
The poodle bites!
(Come on, Frenchie)
The poodle chews it!
(Not a speck of cereal!)
The poodle bites!
(Come on, Frenchie)
The poodle chews it!
(Nothing but the best for my dog!)
The poodle bites!
(Come on, Frenchie)
The poodle chews it!
(Come on!)
The poodle bites!
(Come on, Frenchie)
The poodle chews it!
(Little paws sticking up!)
The poodle bites!
(Little curly hairs!)
The poodle chews it!
(Little curly hairs!)

Du Michigan à San Francisco
Je suis recherché
De jour en jour le prix de ma peau
Ne cesse de grimper
Je n'ai plus d'amis, j'ai n'ai plus même un frère
Qui puisse encore me cacher
Pourtant si le ciel veut bien m'aider
Avant la nuit je serai sauvé

Arizona
C'est ma dernière chance
L'Arizona
Je n'y suis pas encore interdit
Arizona
C'est ma dernière chance
L'Arizona
De recommencer ma vie

Dans chaque ville, à chaque rue
Mon nom couvre les murs
Et sous le soleil,
Chaque pas se fait un peu plus dur

Arizona
C'est ma dernière chance
L'Arizona
De recommencer ma vie

J'aurais planté tout près de l'eau
Une maison blanche
Ou bien je dresserais des chevaux
Si j'achète un ranch
Ce rêve de paix j'ai bien peur qu'il ne soit jamais, jamais réalité
Mais si Dieu veut m'accompagner
Demain je serai sauvé

Arizona
C'est ma dernière chance
L'Arizona
Je n'y suis pas encore interdit
Arizona
C'est ma dernière chance
L'Arizona
De recommencer ma vie

Arizona
C'est ma dernière chance
L'Arizona
Je n'y suis pas encore interdit

Dirty Little Tinker
Composer(s): Harry Hemsley
Performer(s): Harry Hemsley



Some children, they're as good as gold and never cause alarm
They always do just as they're told and never come to harm
They never litter up the place and never soil their clothes
So call them "Lamb" and "Angel Face", to please them, I suppose

Dirty little tinker, dirty little mite
That's what Daddy calls me, that's the name I like!
Inky clothes and fingers, face all smeared with jam
Dirty little tinker, an' (giggles) I'm very glad I am!

Daddy: Hello Johnny
Johnny: Hello Daddy
Daddy: Good gracious, look at your dirty hand
I've never seen a dirtier one
Johnny: Well look at this one then!
Daddy: Did you wash this morning?
Johnny: Yes Daddy
Daddy: Don't believe you
Johnny: Ooh, you ought to see the towel!
Daddy: You dirty little tinker!

Most children when there's visitors are taught to be polite
But when one calls upon my Dad, they tuck me out of sight
I have to mind my p's and q's on 'casions such as these
'Cause Nurse says Daddy won't excuse a boy with dirty knees

Dirty little tinker, dirty little mite
That's what Daddy calls me, that's the name I like!
Inky clothes and fingers, face all smeared with jam
Dirty little tinker, an' (giggles) I'm very glad I am!

Dirty little muck-pot, dirty little tyke
That's what Daddy calls me, that's the name I like!
Never calls me "Sonny boy", Nurse says it's a shame
Dirty little mucky pup, (giggles), but he loves me just the same!
 
								

Are You Tired Of Me Darling
Composer(s): G.P. Cook - Ralph Roland
Performer(s): Nanci Griffith



Are you tired of me my darling?
Did you mean those words you said?
That made me yours forever
Since the day when we were wed

And tell me, would you live life over
Could you make another wife
Are you tired of me my darling?
Answer only with your eyes

Do you ever rue the springtime
When we first each other met?
How we spoke in warm affection
Words my heart can ne'er forget

And tell me, would you live life over
Could you make another wife
Are you tired of me my darling?
Answer only with your eyes

Do you think the blooms departed
From the cheeks you thought so fair?
Do you think I've grown cold hearted
Beneath the load of woman's cares?

And tell me, would you live life over
Could you make another wife
Are you tired of me my darling?
Answer only with your eyes

And tell me, would you live life over
Could you make another wife
Are you tired of me my darling?
Answer only with your eyes

Dirty Laundry
Composer(s): Don Henley - Daniel Kortchmar
First release by: Don Henley - 1982
Covered by multiple other artists



I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose
They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don’t have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em all around

We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who
Comes on at five
She can tell you ’bout the plane crash with a gleam
In her eye
It’s interesting when people die
Give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a
Running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry

You don’t really need to find out what’s going on
You don’t really want to know just how far it’s gone
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry

Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down

Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re stiff
Kick ’em all around

Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody’s pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry

We can do the innuendo
We can dance and sing
When it’s said and done we haven’t told you a thing
We all know that crap is king
Give us dirty laundry!
