Little Kawai Composer(s): Walter Becker Performer(s): Walter Becker
Here's a note from one Miss Turnbull Certain homework was not done Tiny holes in brand new windows From an unknown BB gun Cinder Annie and your Big Mommie Say the facts all point to you
But they don't love you Little Kawai Not the way that I do Not the way that I do
That new squirt gun Eric got you Don't you aim it over here That's a mean song Eldon taught you I no longer wish to hear And where he says babies come from This is not completely true
That's a tall one Little Kawai And those bad boys They don't love you Not the way that I do
In the morning in spite of everything We'll go driving in our car Straight to IHOP where it's well-known The world's junkest pancakes are Maple syrup on those french fries They say it's no good for you
But you're still growing Little Kawai What do they know Do they love you Not the way that I do Not the way that I do
Little Joe, The Wrangler Composer(s): Nathan Howard - Jack Thorp Performer(s): Chris LeDoux and multiple other artists
Little Joe the wrangler, he'll wrangle never more His days with the remuda, they're all done It was long about last April he rode into our camp Just a little Texas stray and all alone It was long late in the evening when he rode into our camp On a little old brown pony he called Shaw In his brogan shoes and coveralls, a harder lookin' kid You never in you life have seen before
His saddle was a Sother kack built many years ago An OK spur on one foot idly hung With his bed roll in a cotton sack was loosely tied behind And a canteen from the saddle horn he'd slung
Said he had to leave his home because his paw had married twice His new maw beat him every day or two So he saddled up old Shaw one night and lit a shuck this way Thought he'd try and paddle now his own canoe
Said he'd try to do the best he could if we'd only give him work Though he didn't know straight up about a cow So the boss, he cut him out a mount and kinda put him on And we knew he liked our little stray somehow
Well, he taught him how to heard the horses and learned to know 'em all And to get 'em in by daylight if he could And to follow the chuck wagon and to always hitch the team And to help the carsonaro rustle wood
We had driven to Red River and the weather it was fine We were camped down on the south side of the bend When a Norther started blowin' we called the extra guard 'Cause it took all hands to hold the cattle in
Now little Joe the wrangler was called out like the rest Barely had the kid got to the heard When the cattle, they stampeded - like a hailstorm on they flew With all of us a ridin' for the lead
Between the streaks of lightnin' we could see a horse ahead It was little Joe the wrangler in the lead He was riding old Blue Rocket with a slicker o'er his head And he's trying to check the leaders in their speed
We finally got'em millin' and they sort of quieted down The extra guard back to the camp did go But one of them was missing and we all knew at a glance 'Twas our little Texas strayboy, wrangler Joe
We found him there at sun up where old Blue Rocket fell In some washout twenty feet below Beneath his horse smashed to a pulphis spur had rung the knell For our little Texas stray bos, wrangler Joe
Little Joe the wrangler, he'll wrangle never more His days with the remuda, they're all done It was long about last April he rode into our camp Just a little Texas stray and all alone
Make Me Know It (If You Mean What You Say) Composer(s): Williams; Temple Performer(s): Blanche Calloway
Make me know it, baby, I crave some action Make me know it, baby, prove what you say I want no fooling, and I don't mean maybe I've had my fooling; I wasn't born today
Make me know it, baby, if you mean business Make me know it, baby, and don't delay I like your style, your smile, your pretty hair But this don't get me anywhere Make me know it if you mean just what you say
You claim that you love me true And there's nothing you won't do Now, sweet child, if you're sincere Listen while I cuddle near I've heard the sweet wind blow before Had the wolf at my door My brain isn't made of wood I guess it's understood
Oh, baby, I crave some action Oh, baby, prove what you say I want no fooling, and I don't mean maybe I've had my fooling; I wasn't born today
Baby, if you mean business Baby, now don't delay I like your style, your smile, your pretty hair But this don't get me anywhere Make me know it if you mean just what you say
Little Jeannie Composer(s): Elton John - Gary Anthony Osborne First release by: Elton John - 1980 Covered by multiple other artists
Oh little Jeannie, you got so much love, little Jeannie And you take it where it strikes and give it to the likes of me Oh little Jeannie, she got so much love, little Jeannie So I see you when I can, you make me all a man can be
And I want you to be my acrobat, I want you to be my lover Oh there were others who would treat you cruel And oh little Jeannie, you were always someone's fool
Little Jeannie, you got so much time, little Jeannie Though you've grown beyond your years, you still retain the fears of youth Oh little Jeannie, you got so much time, little Jeannie But you're burning it up so fast, searching for some lasting truth
And I want you to be my acrobat, I want you to be my lover Oh there were others who would treat you cruel But oh Jeannie, I will always be your fool
And I want you to be my acrobat, I want you to be my lover Oh there were others, and I've known quite a few But oh oh Jeannie, I'm still in love with you
Stepped into my life from a bad dream Making the life that I had seem suddenly shiny and new Oh Jeannie I'm so in love with you Stepped into my life from a bad dream
I remember ridin' bikes with you in the park Quiet conversations alone in the dark Now that you're gone and you're never coming home It sure gets lonely but I'd rather be alone Without you it's just a little inconvenient after all these years A little inconvenient to smile through all these tears A little hard to handle when the kids ask where you are But I'll get along it's just a little inconvenient
What I'd give to love you once again Look across the breakfast table see you smiling there But things have really changed since you've left this place I can't really say that time has helped or erased your memory It's juts a little inconvenient ...
Make Love To Me Composer(s): George Brunies; Allan Copeland; Paul Mares; Walter Melrose; Bill Norvas; Ben Pollack; Leon Roppolo; Mel Stitzel Performer(s): Jo Stafford and various other artists
Take me in your arms and never let me go Whisper to me softly while the moon is low Hold me close and tell me what I wanna know Say it to me gently, let the sweet talk flow Come a little closer, make love to me
Kiss me once again before we say good night Take me in your lovin' arms and squeeze me tight Put me in a mood so I can dream all night Everybody's sleepin' so it's quite all right Come a little closer, make love to me
When you're near, so help me, dear Chills run up my spine Don't you know I love you so? I won't be happy till you're mine
When I'm in your arms you give my heart a treat Everything about you is so doggone sweet Ev'ry time we kiss you make my life complete Baby doll, ya know ya swept me off my feet Now's the time to tell you "Make love to me"
When I'm in your arms you give my heart a treat Everything about you is so doggone sweet Ev'ry time we kiss you make my life complete Baby doll, ya know ya swept me off my feet Now's the time to tell you "Hey, Baby make love to me"
Little Honda Composer(s): Brian Wilson - Mike Love First release by: The Beach Boys - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
Go! I'm gonna wake you up early cause I'm gonna take a ride with you We're going down to the Honda shop, I'll tell you what we're gonna do Put on a ragged sweatshirt, I'll take you anywhere you want me to
First gear, it's all right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster) Second gear, I'll lean right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster) Third gear, hang on tight (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster) Faster, it's all right
It's not a big motorcycle Just a groovy little motorbike It's more fun than a barrel of monkeys That two-wheeled bike We'll ride on out of the town To any place I know you like
First gear, it's all right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster) Second gear, I'll lean right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster) Third gear, hang on tight (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster) Faster, it's all right
It climbs the hills like a Matchless 'Cause my Honda' built really light When I go in to the turns Better hang on tight I'd better turn on the lights So we can ride my Honda tonight
First gear, it's all right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster) Second gear, I'll lean right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster) Third gear, hang on tight (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster) Faster, it's all right
Make Love Stay Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Now that we love Now that the lonely nights are over How do we make love stay? Now that we know The fire can burn bright or merely smolder How do we keep it from dying away?
Elusive as dreams Barely remembered in the morning Love like a phantom flies But held in the heart It pales like the empty smile adorning A statue with sightless eyes
Moments fleet, taste sweet within the rapture When precious flesh is greedily consumed But mystery's a thing not easily captured And once deceased not easily exhumed
Now that we love Now that the lonely nights are over How do we make love stay?
Moments fleet, taste so sweet within the rapture When precious flesh is greedily consumed But mystery's a thing not easily captured And once deceased not easily exhumed
Now that we loved Look at the moonless night and tell me How do we make love stay?

Little Green Men Composer(s): Steve Vai Performer(s): Steve Vai
We know ya come a long way We hope that your ship is o.k. We hope you're gonna stick around Maybe to save the day
Liw liw, liw liw Liw liw, liw
You look - a real keen Even though you are green With those big, large heads Something off of the movie screen
Liw liw, liw liw Liw liw, liw
Little green men, they look so funny Funny green men I want one to have and to hold and to Silly green men Where do they come from? Should we run away, should we start to pray Or is it a movie that they're filming?
Are the people on your planet Usually in a frantic panic like they are here Most of the time? (bla...Im freakin out...) Wait a minute, you, is it true about Einstein's theory and Darwin's too? What about war, the soul, the mind Love, death, god, divine?
Little, little, little, little, little, little, little
Ladies & gentlemen of the world, it is my utmost privilege to announce to you that these little green men actually do exist, for they are part of the eternal past and venture from all regions of our galaxy to find homage in our earth's center Governments of the world have been very good at concealing these little visitors and preparing the public with loving movies and pleasant melodies (ya see, like that one - did ya hear that - yes) Controlled media as to cushion the arrival of our little friends You see, throughout history many people have claimed to see strange lights in the sky
(oh no)
Well, the truth of the matter is that these light, and beings, will only reveal themselves to those who are pure of heart, for these enlightened aliens leave permanent imprinted information on the psyche of those chosen humans, only to be revealed to our deteriorating planet at the point in which our civilization shall enter the new age of light without heat
Little green men about four foot one Maybe they want to have some fun Little green men about 4 foot two Maybe he wants to mate with you (ooh, ah, eee, etc...)(simulated alien sex sequence) Little green men about four foot three Maybe they wanna be set free
We're hoping that the human race will become part of endless time We love you all and want you to know that in your heart and in your soul there is power bigger than the world
Little green men about four foot Maybe they wanna kick some butt Mo fo Uuuu, aaaa, eeee, grrr...
Little green men, they look so funny Funny green men I want one to have and to hold and to Silly green men Where do they come from? Should we run away, should we start to pray Or is it a movie that they're filming?

Make It Good Composer(s): Dennis Wilson; Darryl Dragon Performer(s): The Beach Boys
Look at me Funny face That's not you A wrinkled nose A tear You're crying
Oh Rest your head Cry on me Don't be afraid I'll stay with you I know you'll make it And you'll make it good And you'll make it good And you'll make it good
All of my life I haven't known much All I know Is what I feel And what I feel And what I feel Love I'm in love Love Love
Little Green Apples Composer(s): Bobby Russell First release by: Roger Miller - 1968 Covered by multiple other artists
And I wake up in the mornin' With my hair down in my eyes and she says "Hi" And I stumble to the breakfast table While the kids are goin' off to school goodbye And she reaches out 'n' takes my hand And squeezes it 'n' says "How ya feelin', hon?" And I look across at smilin' lips That warm my heart and see my mornin' sun
And if that's not lovin' me Then all I've got to say God didn't make little green apples And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime And there's no such thing as Doctor Seuss Or Disneyland, and Mother Goose, no nursery rhyme God didn't make little green apples And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime And when my self is feelin' low I think about her face aglow and ease my mind
Sometimes I call her up at home knowin' she's busy And ask her if she could get away and meet me And maybe we could grab a bite to eat And she drops what she's doin' and she hurries down to meet me And I'm always late But she sits waitin' patiently and smiles when she first sees me 'cause she's made that way
And if that ain't lovin' me Then all I've got to say God didn't make little green apples And it don't snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes And there's no such thing as make-believe Puppy dogs, autumn leaves 'n' BB guns
God didn't make little green apples And it don't rain in Indianapolis
