Little old lady passing by Catching everyones eye You have such a charming manner Sweet and shy Little old bonnet set in place And a Smile on your face Youre a perfect picture in your Lavender and lace Little bit of business here Little bit of business there Bet that youve been window shopping All around the square Little old lady, time for tea Heres a kiss, two or three Youre just like that little old lady I hold dear to me

A Little More Time Composer(s): Harlan Howard Performer(s): Harlan Howard
(With only a little more time)
Every once in a while there's someone Whose life is like a comet flashin' across the sky Men of great talent with things to tell us And it seems like all too soon those kinds seem to die Now Stephen Foster was one of these gifted people His down to earth songs turned the whole world on But then like most people who are sent here on a mission All too soon young Stephen was gone
A little more time a little more time Oh the songs he might have wrote Tender words and pretty notes With only a little more time
Another man I feel was sent here on a mission was John F. Kennedy A man loved and respected by I guess just about everyone And I suppose we were all guilty of takin' him for granted His love for humanity and the many fine things that he done Now he wanted this to be a better world But all too soon this great man died And as we gathered around our radios that afternoon The whole world stopped a little while and it cried
A little more time a little more time So much to do so little done But the victories he might have won With only a little more time
And looking back down the pages of history The greatest influence for good there ever was Jesus In spite of all the obstacles in his path Look at the legacy of hope that he gave us And as I look around me at those who live by his teachings And bless the day of his birth I can't help but feel this would be a whole lot better world If he could have spent a little more time on this earth
A little more time a little more time Peace on earth might really be Today if only he Just had a little more time

Make the music play just a little slower, play a little slower Let him hold me in his arms, a little longer

Make room in the lifeboat for me Please don't leave me alone on the sea Let me handle the oar to that beautiful shore Make room in the lifeboat for me

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!

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)
