Little Things
Composer(s): Bobby Goldsboro
First release by: Bobby Goldsboro - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



Little things that you do 
Make me glad I'm in love with you 
Little things that you say 
Make me glad that I feel this way
The way you smile, the way you hold my hand 
And when I'm down you always understand

You know I love those little things that I knew 
The little things you whispered in my ear
I know there ain't nobody else like you
No one could do the little things you do 

Little things in my ear that you say 
When there's no one near
Little things that you do 
Let me know that your love is true 
When we walk you like to hold my hand 
And when we talk you tell me I'm your man

You know I love those little things that I knew
The little things you whispered in my ear
I know there ain't nobody else like you 
No one could do the little things you do

Little things that you do 
Make me glad I'm in love with you
Little things that you say 
Make me glad that I feel this way 
When we walk you like to hold my hand 
And when we talk you tell me I'm your man

You know I love those little things that I knew
The little things you whispered in my ear 
I know there ain't nobody else like you 
No one could do the little things you do

Making Believe 
Composer(s): Jimmy Work
Originally performed by: Jimmy Work
Covered by various other artists



Making believe that you still love me
It's leaving me alone and so blue
I'll always dream, still I'll never own you
Making believe, is all I can do

I can't hold you close when you're not with me
Your somebody's love, you'll never be mine
Making believe, I'll spend my lifetime
Loving you, making believe

Making believe I never lost you
But my happy hours I find are so few
My plans for the future will never come true, dear
I'm making believe what else can I do

Little Sparrow
Composer(s): Dolly Parton
First release by: Dolly Parton - 2001
Covered by multiple other artists



Little sparrow, little sparrow
Precious, fragile, little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Flies so high and feels no pain

All ye maidens heed my warning
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you like a sparrow
Leaving you to never mend

They will vow to always love you
Swear no love but yours will do
Then they'll leave you for another
Break your little heart in two

Little sparrow, little sparrow
Precious, fragile, little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Flies so high and feels no pain

If I were a little sparrow
O'er these mountains I would fly
I would find him, I would find him
Look into his lying eyes

I would flutter all around him
On my little sparrow wings
I would ask him, I would ask him
Why he let me love in vain

I am not a little sparrow
I am just the broken dream
Of a cold false-hearted lover
And his evil cunning scheme

All ye maidens fair and tender
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you like a sparrow
Leaving you to never mend

Little sparrow, little sparrow
Oh, the sorrow never ends

Making A Noise
Composer(s): Robbie Robertson
Performer(s): Robbie Robertson



Contact From The Underworld Of Red Boy

Everyone has a song
God gave us each a song
That's how we know who we are
Everyone has a song
 
We have come, heat the drum
The land trembles with dancing
We have come, bang the drum
The land trembles with dancing

Making a noise in this world
Making a noise in this world
You can bet your ass
I won't go quietly
Makin' a noise in this world
 
I don't want your promise
I don't want your whiskey
I don't want your blood on my hands
Only want what belongs to me
 
I think you thought I was gone
I think you thought I was dead
You won't admit that you was wrong
Ain't there some shit that should be said
 
Making a noise in this world
Making a noise in this world
You can bet your ass
I won't go quietly
Makin' a noise in this world
 
The Indian dancers stop and stare at him
Like he was bad weather
He keeps dancing
And knocks loose an eagle feather
The drums stop
This is the kind of silence that frightens white men
 
Making a noise in this world
Making a noise in this world
You can bet your ass
I won't go quietly
Makin' a noise in this world
 
(No Indians allowed)

Little Snow Girl
Composer(s): Robert Arthur
Performer(s): Lorrie Morgan



Little snow girl, little snow girl
See the white snow, see it falling
Listen closely someone's calling
Someone's calling out to you

It's the snow man, it's the snow man
See him beckon, hear him sing out
Little snow girl come and play now
Won't you come and play with me

For he see's you with his eyes of coal
And he loves you with his heart and soul
No man ever loved no girl
Like the snow man loves his snow girl

When the spring comes it stops snowing
And the snow man must be going
Little snow girl wipe away that tear
He'll be coming back to you next year ...

Making A Fool Of Myself
Composer(s): Sims
Performer(s): Jimmy Messene



Life is so funny but what can you do
You’re either happy or blue
You ask for sunshine but you get rain
You love a someone but all in vain

I’m making a fool of myself
Loving a someone that loves someone else
I’m putting myself on the shelf
Pining for someone that loves someone else

Is it worth it, I ask
And though my lips say no
Deep in my heart, though, I know
That I shall always keep on

Baby, I’m making a fool of myself
Loving a someone that loves someone else

I’m making, making a fool of myself
Loving a someone that loves someone else

Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice
And say it's very nice and then you run
Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done

Well I dated your big sister
And I took her to the show
I went for some candy
Along came Jim Dandy
And they snuck right out the door

Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice
And say it's very nice and then you run
Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done

Everytime I see your sister
Well she's got somebody new
She's mean and she's evil
Like a little old boll weevil
Guess I'll try my love with you, ah

Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice
And say it's very nice and then you run
Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done

Well, I used to pull your pigtails
And pinch your turned up nose
But you've been a-growin'
And baby it's been showin'
From your head down to your toes

Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice
And say it's very nice and then you run
Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done

Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done
Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done

Makin' Whoopee
Composer(s): Gus Kahn; Walter Donaldson
Originally performed by: Eddie Cantor
Covered by various other artists



Another bride, another June
Another sunny honeymoon
Another season, another reason
For makin' whoopee

A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
The groom is nervous, he answers twice
Its really killin' that he's so willin' 
To make whoopee

Picture a little love nest 
Down where the roses cling
Picture the same sweet love nest 
Think what a year can bring

He's washin dishes and baby clothes
He's so ambitious he even sews
But don't forget folks
Thats what you get folks, for makin' whoopee

He doesn't make much money
Five thousand dollars per
Some judge who thinks he's funny
Says, "You pay six to her"

He says, "Now judge, suppose I fail?"
The judge says, "Budge, right into jail
You'd better keep her
I think it's cheaper
Than making whoopee"

Little Pal
Composer(s): Lew Brown - Buddy De Sylva - Ray Henderson - Al Jolson
Performer(s): Al Jolson
and multiple other artists



Little Pal, if Daddy Goes away
Promise you'll be good from day to day
Do as Mother says and never sin
Be the man your Daddy might have been
Your Daddy didn't have an easy start
So this is the wish that's in my heart

What I couldn't be, Little Pal
I want you to be, Little Pal
I want you to laugh and to sing and to play
And be good to Mother while Daddy's away

Each night how I'll pray, Little Pal
That you'll turn out right, Little Pal
So till we meet again
Heaven knows where or when
Pray for me now and then, Little Pal

Makin' Up And Breakin' Up
Composer(s): Jimmy Holvay
Performer(s): The Buckinghams



Ever since I gave you my ring, girl
We just don't seem, seem to get along
One day we're so, so in love, girl
The next day it's all gone

I know I love you, girl, and I know you care
Why can't we stick together, girl?
'Cause it just ain't fair (just ain't fair)
No it just ain't fair (just ain't fair)
No it just ain't fair

To our hearts, girl (just ain't fair)
To keep them apart, girl (just ain't fair)
No it just ain't fair (just ain't fair)
No it just ain't fair (just ain't fair)
So let's stop makin' up and breakin' up and makin' up again
Let's live our lives while we can
(Together) while we can
(Together) while we can

One day we're so, so in love, girl
The next day it's all gone

I know I love you, girl, and I know you care
Why can't we stick together, girl?
'Cause it just ain't fair (just ain't fair)
No it just ain't fair (just ain't fair)
No it just ain't fair

If You Could Touch Her At All
Composer(s): Lee Clayton
Performer(s): Waylon Jennings
and multiple other artists



Funny a woman can come on so wild and free
Yet insist I don't watch her undress or watch her watch me
And stand by the bed and shiver as if she were cold
Just to lie down beside me and touch me as if I were gold
One night of love don't make up for six nights alone
I'd rather have one than none
Lord, I'm flesh and bone
Though sometimes it seems she ain't worth the trouble at all
She can be worth the world if somehow you can touch her at all
Right or wrong a woman can own any man
She can take him inside her and hold his soul in her hand
Then leave him as weary and weak as a newborn child
Fighting to get his first breath and open his eyes
One night of love...

Makin' The Best Of A Bad Situation
Composer(s): Dick Feller
Performer(s): Dick Feller;
Ray Stevens; Tom Jones



Now, I know a man, he's a hard workin' man
He gets up real early, and he goes down town
And about fifteen minutes after he's been gone
There's a big milk truck pulls up on the lawn
And that milkman rushes up to the door
Where that man's wife is waitin' in a kimono
And she plants a big ol' kiss on his cheek and they go inside
And that truck never moves for an hour or two

Well it's none of my business
One day I called him aside and told him what was goin' on
While he was gone
And he said, "Well I guess that's so, but do you know
We're never outta' milk or cottage cheese or yogurt, ice cream, or
none of them other cowy things"

I guess he's makin' the best of a bad situation
Don't wanta make waves, can't you see
He's just makin' the best of a bad situation
Reckon I'd do the same if it was me

Now I know a man, he's an educated man
He's an alligator wrestler
He jumps right in there and grabs them long green boogers
By whatever you grab them long green boogers by...
Well, one day he's got a full Nelson on this big alligator
When this other alligator sneaks up and bites his right ear plumb off
Didn't bat an eye, just crawled off in the shade and went to sleep
The alligator not the man

Well, it's none of my business
One day I said, "Well, it's sure too bad about that little accident that you had
'Cause now your hat's gonna fall down over your eyes
And you can't ever be gypsy
'Cause you don't have no place to wear a gold earring"
He just looked me right straight in the eye and said, "Huh?"

I guess he's makin' the best of a bad situation
Don't wanna make waves, can't you see
He's just makin' the best of a bad situation
Reckon I'd do the same if it was me

Now I know a lady, she's a mighty fine lady
Got a heart of gold, she wouldn't harm a fly
She's just tryin' to get by and keep her house in order
But you know that her husband
He worked so hard that he come unglued
He come unwrapped, he just snapped, thinks he's a chicken
That's right, one of them cackling Colonel Sanders' types
He roosts in the bush by the side of the house

Well it's none of my business but one day I said
"Have you ever thought about findin' him a doctor who could make him well"
And she said "Well, I have now and then, but then again
He don't eat much, just chickenfeed
And all that peckin' in the ground don't hurt nothin'
Heaven knows, we can use the eggs"

I guess she's makin' the best of a bad situation
Don't wanna make waves, can't you see
She's just makin' the best of a bad situation
Reckon I'd do the same if it was me

We're all just makin' the best of a bad situation
We're all in this together you and me

Makin’ love, ukelele style
You don’t have to be in Waikiki

As the ukelele magic comes through

Little One 
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Bing Crosby



Little one, what should I do?
I just can't make any headway with you

Little one, I was so gloomy
Felt that life sure would undo me
till, one night, you happened to me
My little one

Little one, no controversy
You're my downfall, you're my Circe
I'm a good guy, show me mercy
My little one
I have such love for you
Our future could be
Heaven above for you
And paradise for me
Little one, fate might miscarry
Little one, why do you tarry?
Little one, when may I marry you
My little one?

Don't care what they care about

Would envy over town

Makin' lo-ove, makin' love

Little Old Rag Doll 
Performer(s): Stuart Hamblen



Each night I'm lonely by the fireside
Alone with an aching heart
As I held in my arms
The dearest of charms
Just a little old rag doll
Yet the mem'ries it brings
Of days that are gone
Fills my heart with regret
For the court has decreed
That they take you from me
All I have is your little rag doll

Just a little old rag doll, dear
That you held in your baby arms
As you played 'round my knee
My darling of three
With your little old rag doll
Just a doll

Each night as I lay on my pillow
In dreams I see your blue eyes
You are smiling at me
My precious of three
Holding your little rag doll
When you grow up
To be a lady so grand
Some man's sweet loving wife
O, be true just to him
And then I'll be content
All alone with your little rag doll

Maker Of Islands
Composer(s): Mike Heron
Performer(s): The Incredible String Band



I do my job and it's pleasing to me
I'm getting so I can sail upon the roughest sea
On the roughest sea I do alright
But when my work is over and done
I get to being a lonely one

I need someone to take the wheel at night
And someone to navigate 'til light comes
But most of all I need a maker of islands
Rested in the golden sunlight where the seas are kind
She could make me islands for my peace of mind

If I could only see her
Look into her eyes
Then I'd lie easy
I'd lie easy
I'd lie easy
In my soul

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

Take off your shoesies, dear

Hurry through the dance

To hug-a hug-a kiss and so now
