Little Man, You've Had A Busy Day
Composer(s): Mabel Wayne - Al Hoffman - Maurice Sigler
Performer(s): Emil Coleman
and multiple other artists



Evenin' breezes sighin', moon is in the sky
Little man, it's time for bed
Daddy's little hero is tired and wants to cry
Now, come along and rest your weary head

Little man, you're cryin', I know why you're blue
Someone took your kiddy-car away
You better go to sleep now
Little man, you've had a busy day

Johnny won your marbles, tell you what we'll do
Dad'll get you new ones right away
Better go to sleep now
Little man, you've had a busy day

You've been playin' soldier, the battle has been won
The enemy is out of sight
Come along there soldier, put away your gun
The war is over for tonight

Time to stop your schemin', time your day was through
Can't you hear the bugle softly say
Time you should be dreamin'
Little man, you've had a busy day

Make Rock Not War
Composer(s): Bob Halligan Jr.
Performer(s): Blue Öyster Cult



Moments of pleasure, in a world of pain
Working together, only to fight again
If we wait for the world leaders to decide, who will die first?
So don't wait no more!
Tell me, make rock not war! What are we dying for?
Rock not war! Nobody wins!
Rock not war! What are we trying for?
And the fools rush in, don't they
For the grand beginning of the end!

Pulses are racing 
You know the blade may fall
Destinies tracing 
I sing to a great star-fall
And you know there's a real answer, but they've already been told
We've heard our lies being cold!

Tell me, make rock not war! What are we dying for?
Rock not war! Nobody wins!
Rock not war! What are we trying for?
And the fools rush in, don't they
For the grand beginning of the end!

The hourglass turns over, and time is running low
Will the sandman's pollen bring sleep before we know?

Yeah, you know there's a real answer, and we've died more than been told
So don't wait no more!
Tell me, make rock not war! What are we dying for?
Rock not war! Nobody wins!
Rock not war! What are we trying for?
And the fools rush in, don't we
For the grand beginning of the end!

Make rock not war!
Make rock not war!
Make rock not war!
Make rock not war!
Make rock not war!

Little man
When you stand by my side
Then I know I don't have
To hide from anyone
And I pray that
We'll stay just that way
Till the day comes along
When we catch the sun

Little girl you're runnin'
Come catch my hand I'm near you
Little girl you're singin'
Come closer to me I hear you

You're growin' old
My mother's cold
Now you've learned
What it meant to be mature
There's no such place
As make believe
But when I look at your face
I'm not so sure

Little girl you're runnin'
Come catch my hand I'm near you
Little girl you're singin'
Come closer to me I hear you

You and me is what I see
And that's the way
It's gonna stay
And it will always be
So little man, please understand
In this world with all its land
You're all I see

Little girl you're runnin'
Come catch my hand I'm near you
Little girl you're singin'
Come closer to me I hear you

Little girl you're runnin'
Come catch my hand I'm near you
Little girl you're singin'
Come closer to me I hear you

Make No Mistake
Composer(s): Steve Jordan; Keith Richards
Performer(s): Keith Richards; Janine Wilson



Make no mistake about it
Things ain't what they seem
I'm gonna scream and shout it
This is just a dream

A simple conversation
Every now and then
A touchy situation
Fascinates a man

What shall I do, if I should see you
And have to pretend that we have never met

Its not a cheap sensation
When you touch me with your hand
A little complication
Can hypnotize a man

How we gonna hide it
This thing with you and me yeah
Everyone can tell by now
I just can't lie you see

What shall I say to hide it, to hide it baby
No words can convey your lips melting into mine

No mistake, no mistake
Make no mistake, make no mistake about it
Make no mistake, c'mon make no mistake, make no mistake
about it
I'm gonna make you mine, no need to talk it over, we're
running out of time

I've made up my mind about you
I know in my heart that you have the same point of view

Make no mistake, this is it
Make no mistake, make no mistake

It's not we don't have the time
Make no mistake
Not in the right place
make no mistake, make no mistake
Ooh come on baby, make no mistake
No mistake
I'm talking to ya baby
Make no mistake

With his little mandolino
And a twinkle in his eye
Senorinas he can win
Always for another guy

Italians love to sip a cup of cappuccino
And listen to the man who plays the mandolino
You offer him a cigarette a glass of wine
That's how he's paid to serenade your lady fair

With his little mandolino
And a twinkle in his eye
Senorinas he can win
Always for another guy

He seems like such a happy man
The man who plays the mandolino
He sings a song of sweet romance for all the lovers as they dance
But all he's holding in his arms is just a little mandolino
He has no woman of his own so every night he walks alone

With his little mandolino
And a twinkle in his eye
Senorinas he can win
Always for another guy

(And while he's strumming songs of love the man who plays the mandolino)
(His eyes are always looking for a senorina to adore)
He drinks a toast to his true love each time he lifts a glass of vino
And so until that lucky day he looks for her along the way

With his little mandolino
And a twinkle in his eye
Senorinas he can win
Always for another guy
(Both) The man who plays the mandolino

Make My Day
Composer(s): DeWayne Blackwell
Performer(s): T.G. Sheppard & Clint Eastwood



Well it was going down
On the bad part of town
At an all-night grocery store
The old man there, his hands in the air
His customers on the floor
The hoods took all the money
And all of his hard earned pay
But then a tall man stepped in
With a cynical grin and said
(Eastwood: Go ahead, make my day)

Somewhere a girl's walkin' all alone
And now it's getting dark
She knows she'd better hurry home
So she cuts right through the park
She finds herself surrounded
Oh, she'll never get away
But then from behind a tree trunk, a voice said
(Eastwood: Punk, go ahead, make my day)

Oh, we love to hear him say
Go ahead and make my day
Smith Wesson and him just surrounded them
(Eastwood: Go ahead punk, make my day)

By mistake a couple walked into a bar
Where a motorcyle gang hanged out
They started coming on to his bride
And slapping him all about
They were buying drinks for the house
And using his money to pay. but it was
(Eastwood: Last call for alcohol)
(Eastwood: Go ahead, make my day)

Oh, we love to hear him say
Go ahead and make my day
He just stood in the door with a .44
(Eastwood: Go ahead punk, make my day)

So all you goons, you punks, you creeps
Who hide out in the night
Don't try to cop insanity
You better start doing things right
If you don't heed this warning
Then you better start learnin' to pray
That you never have to hear him whisper
(Eastwood: Go ahead, make my day)

Oh, we love to hear him say
Go ahead and make my day
Well, Smith and Wesson has taught 'em a lesson
(Eastwood: Go ahead punk, make my day)

Oh, we love to hear him say
Go ahead and make my day
He just fired his gun and then there were none
(Eastwood: Go ahead punk, make my day)

(Eastwood: No trial, no reports to file)
(Eastwood: Do you feel lucky, punk)
(Eastwood: A man's got to know his limitations, yeah)

[oh bello]

They come to dance
And find romance
In via Roma
In every bar
Sweet guitar
And sounds of laughter

I simply smiled
And raised a glass when she walked over
Then love began
She took my hand and said
"Let's dance"

We were sliding to the left
Bello Bello!
We were swaying to the right
Bello Bello
Oh my head was in a spin
Bello Bello
But I held her body tight

And then this bella bella signorina
With a smile so tender
She put a rythm in my feet
As we danced this crazy beat

Ooohhh my bella bella signorina
Baby I surrender
Can you teach me more tonight?
Or must I dance till mornin' light

We were sliding to the left
Bello Bello!
We were swaying to the right
Bello Bello
Oh my head was in a spin
Bello Bello
But I held her body tight

Uhhhh

A oh bello

It was by chance
And circumstance that I should meet her
Who would suspect
I Would be infected by her fever?
I raised my arms and shouted out
"La Dolce Vita!!"
Then once again
She took my hand
And said "let's dance"

We were sliding to the left
Bello Bello!
We were swaying to the right
Bello Bello
Oh my head was in a spin
Bello Bello
But I held her body tight

And then this bella bella signorina
Moved a 'lil closer
And she whispered
"Don't be shy.. you seem to be my
Kinda guy"
And I said bella bella signorina
I'm no Casanova
But I'm Italian through and through!
So lemme show you what we do!

We were sliding to the left
Bello Bello!
We were swaying to the right
Bello Bello
Oh my head was in a spin
Bello Bello
But I held her body tight

We were swaying to the right
Bello Bello
Oooohh my head was in a spin
Bello Bello
But I held her body tight
Bello Bello
Once again a lil slide
Bello Bello
Once again a lil spin
Bello Bello
And I kissed her on her cheek
Mwjah
As we danced the night away ...
Ahe he he

(Originally performed by: Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel)



Je deed het weer
Je breekt alweer mijn hart
Ik neem wel weer
Een nieuwe start

Jij brak de code
De regels van het spel
Want mij bedriegen kan je wel
Met die blauwe ogen
Heb je mij al
1000 maal belogen

Kom en vertel me
Wat je voelt
Doe al wat je wil
Als het moet

Al wat nog rest
Je gooit het overboord
Misschien hou je ooit
wel eens je woord

't is maar een test
een spel dat wordt gespeeld
win of verlies
jij kiest
jij deelt

liefste, liefste
alleen aan jezelf
vraag jij je niet uit

Kom en vertel me
Wat je voelt
Doe al wat je wil
Als het moet

Jij gunt me niets
Hield alles voor jezelf
Alleen mijn geloof
Dat hou ik wel

Wil jij nog meer
Je krijgt het als je wil
Bepaal maar de regels van het spel
Ga weg, ga weg
En zeg niet
Dat je ooit hebt geprobeerd

Kom en vertel me
Wat je voelt
Doe al wat je wil
Als het moet

Kom en vertel me
Wat je voelt
Doe al wat je wil
Als het moet

Kom en vertel me
Wat je voelt
Doe al wat je wil
Als het moet

Dutch Title: Wat Je Voelt

Originally performed by: Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel
Covered by various other artists



You've done it all, you've broken every code 
And pulled the Rebel to the floor 
You spoilt the game, no matter what you say 
For only metal, what a bore 
Blue eyes, blue eyes, how come you tell so many lies 

Come up and see me, make me smile 
Or do what you want, running wild 

There's nothing left, all gone and run away 
Maybe you'll tarry for a while 
It's just a test, a game for us to play 
Win or lose, it's hard to smile 
Resist, resist, it's from yourself you have to hide 

Come up and see me, to make me smile 
Or do what you want, running wild 

There ain't no more, you've taken everthing 
From my belief in Mother Earth 
How can you ignore my faith in everything 
Coz I know what Faith is and what it's worth 
Away, away, and don't say maybe you'll try 

T'come up and see me, to make me smile 
Or do what you want, just running wild 

Come up and see me, make me smile 
Or do what you want, running wild 

Come up and see me, make me smile 
Or do what you want, running wild

If I could turn the page in time
Then I'd rearrange just a day or two
Close my, close my, close my eyes

But I couldn't find a way
So I'll settle for one day to believe in you
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies

Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh, no, no you can't disguise
(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)
Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies

Although I'm not making plans
I hope that you understand there's a reason why
Close your, close your, close your eyes

No more broken hearts
We're better off apart let's give it a try
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies

Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh, no, no you can't disguise
(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)
Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies

If I could turn the page in time 
Then I'd rearrange just a day or two
Close my, close my, close my eyes

But I couldn't find a way
So I'll settle for one day to belive in you
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies

Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh, no, no you can't disguise
(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)

Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies

Make Me Smile
Composer(s): James Pankow
Performer(s): Chicago



Children play in the park, they don't know
I'm alone in the dark, even though
Time and time again I see your face smiling inside

I'm so happy
That you love me
Life is lovely
When you're near me
Tell me you will stay
Make me smile

Living life is just a game so they say
All the games we used to play fade away
We may now enjoy the dreams we shared so long ago

Oh my darling, got to have you. Feel the magic when I hold you 
Cry sweet tears of joy, touch the sky

Now I need you more than ever 
No more crying - we're together 
Tell me you will stay 
Make me smile

Little fish, little fish
Do you think I'll get my wish?
Little lamb, little lamb
I wonder how old I am?

I wonder how old I am?

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

Make Me Love You 
Performer(s): David Hughes



Make me love you, love you, love you
Darling be tender
I should beware but I don’t care
Here is my heart

Make me want you, want you, want you
Make me surrender
Teach me to sigh, teach me to cry
Don’t let us part

Burn me with your kisses
Hold me in your arms
Thrill me till I’m filled with all your charms

For I want to love you, love you, 
Till I’m afraid to
Teach me to sigh, teach me to cry
Make me love you

Burn me with your kisses
Hold me in your arms
Thrill me till I’m filled with all your charms

For I want to love you, love
Till I’m afraid to
Take me, take me
Make me love you

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
