Polly In A Porny
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Shel Silverstein



Haha I kissed Polly goodnight 
Haha as we stood at her front door 
Now she's quite a proper lady 
So I didn't ask for anything more 
But haha I was feeling oh so groovie 
That I went down to the movie 
And I sat down and guess just what I saw

I saw Polly in a porny 
Down at the dirty flicks 
I saw Polly in a porny 
I didn't know she knew them tricks 
What I seen nearly struck me blind 
I never knew she was the artically inclined 
I saw Polly in a porny with a pony 
And I've nearly blowed my mind
Was she gallopin' (no no no) 
Oh was she trottin' (no no no) 
Oh was she riding across the country
with some tall dark handsome person 
Oh was she wearin' her cowboy hat 
Haha well not exactly that
But at least I recall she had her spurs on 
I love ol' Polly in a porny 
I keep on going back 
Yeah in the very last row I'm singin' low 
With my coat bouncin' in my lap 
Ooh I spend each dime I can afford 
I swear she's gonna win an academy award 
I saw Polly in a porny with a pony 
And the pony seemed a little bored 
Ooh oh ride 
Polly ride slide
Polly slide

Don't Look At Me That Way
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Irene Bordoni
and multiple other artists



Oh, Im so mad about a lad
It's too deep to express
And when he tries to use his eyes
They have instant success
So full of passion, these pupils are
That girls forget what their scruples are
So when he turns them on me
I murmur tenderly.....

I think you're great, I think you're grand
And I don't mind if you hold my hand
But don't look at me that way

Your kisses, too, are heavenly
And oh, so full of variety
But don't look at me that way

When you tell me sweetly you're mine completely
I always give a long cheer
But those sudden flashes behind your lashes
Are nobody's business, dear

Since you began to play your role
I've lost my heart and I've lost my soul
But as for losing my self-control
Don't look at me that way

I just adore your loving arms
In fact, they're two of your greatest charms
But don't look at me that way

I'm very mild, I'm very meek
My will is strong, but my won't is weak
So don't look at me that way

When that strange expression of indiscretion
Begins to show in your stare
There's a hocus-pocus about your focus
That gives me a terrible scare

I feel a thrill when you arrive
And while you're near I simply thrive
But if you want to get home alive
Don't look at me that way 

It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
Composer(s): Ernest Gold - Mack David



It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world
In France the girls wear scanties
While on lamb chops they put panties
I'm telling you it's a mad, mad, mad, mad world

A Japanese named Luey
Says the Chinese hate chop suey
Without a doubt
It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world

The only thing you are sure of
Is that nothing is sure
Have a ball, live it up, only fools give it up
Toujours the amour, but toujours

So be a happy gaffer
Be a screamer, be a laugher
Let boys be gay and say, "What the hey"
It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world

My dear old Uncle Herman
Says that French Toast should be German
Jawohl, that's right
It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world

I know it may sound jerky
But in Turkey who eats turkey
Yes, yes, confess
It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world

Out traffic is so congested
Mass confusion on wheels
But Detroit is adroit, what they'll do in Detroit
Is make bigger automobiles

So be a happy fellow
Be a clown, boy, Punchinello
Get off the shelf and enjoy yourself
It's a mad, mad, mad, mad
It's a mad, it's a mad, it's a mad, it's a mad world!

Don't Like Goodbyes
Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Truman Capote
Performer(s): Pearl Bailey
and multiple other artists



Don't like goodbyes, tears or sighs
I'm not too good at leavin' time
I got no taste for grievin' time
No, no, not me

You've been my near one's, always my dear one's
I never thought that I would find
Another love, a diff'rent kind
But it came to be

Well, if you think I'm telling you lies
Go try your luck and look into his eyes
But remember, you must remember he's mine
And my world overhead has a clear new shine

Have I found the answer
Yes, he's the only answer
Guess I won't have to guide him, jus' walk beside him
Can't you see it clearly that I love him dearly

Don't want to leave you, sorry to grieve you
It's trav'lin' time and I must move on
Found the man to lean upon, and if I could arrange it
Oh, would I care to change it
Not me!

Mary's Vineyard
Composer(s): Wayne Carson Thompson - Bob Wilkins
Performer(s): Claude King



The grapes in Mary's vineyard are the sweetest on the vine
Old man Oscar Dill lived back in the Tennessee hills
He's got him two or three stills and he makes heavy water
Oh I worked for him one time runnin' sour mash across the line
And he warned me to pay no mind to his three daughters
Yeah one was eighteen and one was twenty two one was just my age
One by one I opened the door to the gilded cage (yes I did now)
He don't know and I ain't gonna tell him what I've done one time
Cause he thinks he raised three little angels ah I think that's fine
I made love to his sweet Martha and pretty little Caroline
But the grapes in Mary's vineyard are the sweetest on the vine

Now old man Oscar Dill said he wouldn't hesitate to kill
Anybody messin' round his stills or his three daughters
But even so late at night when the moon wasn't shining too bright
I'd sneaked around get brave all right sippin' his heavy water
Yeah one was eighteen...
I made love to his sweet Martha...

Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me
Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
First release by: Elton John - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists



I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I can't find, oh the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal

You think you've got it all set up

Away From You
Composer(s): Gerry Marsden - John Chadwick
First release by: Gerry & The Pacemakers - 1963



When I'm away from you
No wonder I feel blue
Without your love (without your love)
Without your charms
Want you in my arms

I dream about you every night
Hopin', waitin' for you to write
Until at last (until at last)
I find, can't get you off my mind
(off my mind, can't get you off my mind)

If you only knew
How my poor heart yearns for you
Then darling you'll be
Ever true and faithful to me

So when I'm by your side
Please remember how I cried
For your love (for your love)
For your charms
Want you in my arms (in my arms, want you in my arms)

If you only knew
How my poor heart yearns for you
Then darling you'll be
Ever true and faithful to me

So when I'm by your side
Please remember how I cried
For your love (for your love)
For your charms
Want you in my arms

Don't Let The Sun Catch You Cryin'
Composer(s): Gerry Marsden
Performer(s): Gerry & The Pacemakers



Don't let the sun catch you crying 
The night's the time for all your tears 
Your heart may be broken tonight 
But tomorrow in the morning light 
Don't let the sun catch you crying

The nighttime shadows disappear 
And with that go all your tears, baby 
For the morning will bring joy 
For every girl and boy 
Don't don't don't don't let the sun catch you crying 
Oooo baby

You know that crying's not a bad thing 
But stop your crying when the birds sing 
Oh no no no

Oh yeah 
Oooo oooo

Just don't forget that love's just a game 
And it can always come again 
So don't let the sun catch you crying 
Don't let the sun catch you crying, baby

Tomorrow in the morning light 
Everything gonna be all right 
Tomorrow in the morning light 
Everything gonna be all right 
Tomorrow in the morning light 
Everything gonna be all right

Away From The Numbers
Composer(s): Paul Weller
First release by: The Jam - 1977



Things are getting just too cozy for me
I now see people as they see me
Gonna break away and gain control
You free your mind
You free your soul
I was the type who knocked at old men (history's easy)
Who together at tables sit and drink beer (somewhere is really)
Then I saw that I was really the same
So this link's breaking away from the chain

Away from the numbers
Away from the numbers
Is where I'm gonna be
Away from the numbers
Away from the numbers
Is where I am free

Away from the numbers
Away from the numbers
Is where i'm gonna be

I was sick and tired of my little niche
I'm gonna break away and find where life is

And all those fools I thought were my friends
(coaching is easy)
They now stare at me and don't see a thing
(reality's so hard)
Till their life is over and they start to moan
How they never had the chance to make good

Away from the numbers
Away from the numbers
Is where I'm gonna be
Away from the numbers
Away from the numbers
Is where I am free
Is where I am free
Is where I'm gonna be
It's reality

Reality's so hard, reality's so hard, reality's so hard
Reality's so hard, reality's so hard, reality's so hard 

Don't Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes
Composer(s): Slim Willet
First release by: Slim Willett and the Brush Cutters - 1952
and multiple other artists



Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night
In the daylight it dies

Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Oh, keep your heart for me
For someday I'll return
And you know you're the only one I'll ever love

Too many nights, too many stars
Too many moons to change your mind
If I'm gone too long don't forget where you belong
When the stars come out remember you are mine

Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night
In the daylight it dies

Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Oh, keep your heart for me
For someday I'll return
And you know you're the only one I'll ever love

Too many miles, too many days
Too many nights to be alone
Ah please keep your heart while we are apart
Don't you linger in the moonlight when I'm gone

Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night
In the daylight it dies

Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Oh, keep your heart for me
For someday I'll return
And you know you're the only one I'll ever love
You're the only one I'll ever love

Away From It All
Performer(s): Graham Gouldman



He was born in a very bad part of town
Where the sun never shone
And the people went round with their heads hung low
There was no work to do nowhere to go
And so he was born to lose

Well he got up one morning and he switched on his TV
There was a whole lot of people
One big happy family
And he knew that's the place he had to be
So he got himself up
He brushed himself down
He read some books and he oiled his brain
He started to work and he started to train
And he knew he'd never be the same again
No more were you born to lose

Hey boy what you gonna do
When there ain't no future here for you
You gotta pick yourself up and pull yourself out
'Cause you know you were born to lose

Now he takes his place as one of the family
All together different colours and lookin' so fine
In the same place and at the same time
'Cause he pulled himself up
And got himself out
He read some books and he oiled his brain
He started to work and he started to train
And he knew he'd never be the same again
No more you were born to lose

Hey boy what you gonna do
When there ain't no future here for you
You gotta pick yourself up and pull yourself out
'Cause you know you were born to lose

Hey boy ...

Took his crooked sixpence and he walked a crooked mile
Bought some crooked nails and a crooked little bat
Tried to fix his roof with a rat-tat-tat-tat-tat

They all live together in a crooked little house
Has a crooked door with a crooked little latch
Has a crooked roof with a crooked little patch

(Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
(Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down

My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown

Away From Home
Performer(s): Stewart Copeland



I finally got away from home
I got apartment of my own
Eccentric posing is allowed
And I can play the music loud
I'm gonna abuse my brand new pad
My lousy manners are O.K.
I finally got away from home
I got apartment of my own
I entertain my rancid date
And she can hang around till late
Oh boy!
Away from home
O-Oh
I got a place of my own
O-Oh
Away from home
O-Oh
I got a place of my own
O-Oh
And I don't have to hide the fumes
So I don't have to clean my room
And I don't have to hide my toys
Won't hide my dealings 
Oh Boy
I finally got away from home
I got apartment of my own
Not sure exactly 'bout the rent
My weekly pay won't even dent
Won't hide my dealings 
Oh boy Oh Boy!

Avventura A Durango
Composer(s): Bob Dylan - Fabrizio De André - Jacques Levy - Massimo Bubola
Performer(s): Fabrizio De André



Peperoncini rossi nel sole cocente
polvere sul viso sul cappello
io e Maddalena all'occidente
abbiamo aperto i nostri occhi oltre il cancello
Ho dato la chitarra al figlio del fornaio
per una pizza ed un fucile
la ricomprerò lungo il sentiero
e suonerò per Maddalena all'imbrunire
Non chiagne Maddalena

Dio ci guarderà
e presto arriveremo a Durango
Strigneme Maddalena

sto deserto finirà
e tu potrai ballare o' fandango

Girl, try to remember when we didn't have no shoes 
We stuck together, just me and you 
It took a long time to get what we got today 
Now you wanna give it all up for another guy 

Don't let the green grass fool you 
Don't let it change your mind 

It's gonna be hard for me, baby, to live my life all over 
'Cause baby, you've got the love that I really need 
'Cause if you leave, leave me this way, baby 
You know what? I may not live to see a brand new day 

(repeat): 
Don't let the green grass fool you 
Don't let it change your mind 
It may be greener on the other side 
But right in my arms is where you belong

He's got no home

He loves the girls

His love is [sweet / free ?]

He don't bother no-one
- Well leave him alone
He hides away
- We'll find him today
He'll try to shout
- We'll drag him out
He'll try to cry
- We'll smash his eye
He'll scream out why
- [Just let him?] try

Avron knows
Avron knows

On a [sweltering / sheltering / warm spring ?] day
He'll be over the hill
In the beautiful land
With his love of loves
The sun will shine
Now he's alive
A beautiful mind
He's the happiest man

Don't Let The Good Life Pass You By
Composer(s): Sharon Rucker
Performer(s): Ferlin Husky
and multiple other artists



Did you ever lie and listen to the rain fall 
Did you ever own a homemade apple pie
Did you ever watch a child while he was praying
Friend don't let the good life pass you by
Did you ever hold a hand to stop its trembling
Did you ever watch the sun desert the sky
Did you ever hold a woman while she's sleeping
Friend don't let the good life pass you by
Man was made for loving not for buying 
Gold can't give you things we really need
Just look my friend there's happiness in living
Somewhere between broke and being free
Did you ever see the funny side of losin' 
Did you ever sit right down and have a cry
Did you ever take the time to help your neighbor
Just don't let the good life pass you by
Man was made for loving...
Just don't let the good life pass you by
