    May I Drop A Petal In Your Glass Of Wine
    Composer(s): Mack Gordan; Harry Revel



    May I drop a petal in your glass of wine?
    It will make your life a song
    When I drop a petal in your glass of wine
    Lady Luck will come along
    Her face will dance in your champagne
    Your heart will dance like bubbles in the rain

    May I drop a petal in your glass of wine?
    To bring out the blue above
    For you'll find a petal in your glass of wine
    Will show the way to love
    You'll know the time is right
    You'll know tonight's the time to say be mine
    When I drop this petal in your glass of wine

    Old-Fashion Love
    Composer(s): Milan Williams
    Performer(s): The Commodores



    I'm in love with a plain old-fashion girl
    She's the most beautiful person in the world

    Her smile is so warm and her eyes burn so deep, ah, yeah
    Softly in rhymes of love she sings to me
    {Love is for love} Oh {But only if it's meant to be}
    Only if it's meant to be, baby

    Yeah, hea, hea, I-I-I-I

    I'm in love with a plain and simple girl
    She takes my heart and sends me for a whirl
    I'm on the wings of love and I don't take care where I go
    Because when we reach that star we both will know
    {Love is for love} Ooh {And our love was meant to be}
    Our love was meant to be, baby, ooh

    I want some lovin' tonight
    Some old-fashion love, baby
    I know that you do it right
    Do it, do it, do it to it, baby

    I want some lovin' tonight
    Some old-fashion love, baby
    I know that you do, do
    Do it, do it, do it right, baby

    I want (Ow), gimme, gimme, gimme (Whoa)
    I want (Oh, girl) some old-fashion love, baby
    (I want some lovin' tonight )
    Do it, do it, do it (Some old-fashion love, baby)

    I want (Ow), gimme, gimme, gimme (Whoa)
    I want (Oh, girl) some old-fashion love, baby
    I want (Oh, say it), gimme, gimme, gimme (Whoa)
    I want (Oh, girl) some old-fashion love, baby

    Oh, yeah
    Ah., yeah
    Oh, yeah
    Ah, yeah

    Do it, do it, do it

    I want (Ow), gimme, gimme, gimme (Whoa)
    I want (Oh, girl) some old-fashion love, baby

    May I Baby
    Composer(s): Isaac Hayes; David Porter
    Originally performed by: Sam & Dave



    May I, baby, hmmmm walk you home?
    May I, baby, because I don't want you to be all alone, no
    Now listen here, with each step my heart beats 3 times
    Because there's so much trouble in my little mind

    May I, baby, come and tell you what it's all about?
    May I, baby, I hope you're itchin' to find out
    Listen, I'm just a little boy, live behind a grocery store
    I've been watchin' you come and go now
    May I, baby?
    Can I, honey, tell you how I feel?

    I love the ground you walk on, yes I do
    Oh I beg you and nobody else
    You brighten up; look here, listen to what I'm saying
    "Why, she's been through the same thing herself"

    May I, baby, give my little heart to you?
    May I, baby, you can do anything you want to do
    Tell me baby, may I, baby?
    May I, baby? ...

    Old 30
    Composer(s): Bill Fries; Chip Davis
    Performer(s): C.W. McCall



    She was mud and sand and concrete
    Mixed with water made of tears
    From the rivers runnin' down the great divide
    She was three thousand miles
    Of rockin' rollin' highway
    A million memories long and two lanes wide

    Far across the wide Missouri
    To the old Wyoming line
    From the Jersey shore to San Francisco Bay
    She was know to all the truckers
    As the mighty Lincoln Highway
    But to me she's still Old Thirty all the way

    Now the interstate goes sreamin'
    Through the backyard of her life
    But it just don't send those shivers down my spine
    So before I take that exit
    To the highway in the sky
    I'm gonna take Old Thirty one more time

    She was radiators boilin'
    In the burnin' summer sun
    And a blizzard blowin' wild across the plains
    She was tumbleweeds a rollin'
    In the gentle winds of Fall
    And the lights of old Grand Island in the rain

    She was mud and sand and concrete
    Mixed with water made of tears
    From the rivers runnin' down the great divide
    She was three thousand miles
    Of rockin' rollin' highway
    A million memories long and two lanes wide

    Now the interstate goes sreamin'
    Through the backyard of her life
    But it just don't send those shivers down my spine
    So before I take that exit
    To the highway in the sky
    I'm gonna take Old Thirty one more time

    One more time...

    May I
    Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
    Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot



    Finders, keepers, losers, weepers
    Ring around the rosy and I’ll catch you if I can
    And if you don’t say may I, then you’ll have to start again
    But first you must indulge me and count from one to ten
    Let the game begin
    I adore you when you touch me
    Pin the tail upon the donkey, you will surely win
    And if you don’t say may I, then I’ll pass the cake around
    And I won’t give you any, but you won’t make a sound
    You don’t eat soap, anyhow

    Red light, green light, blue light, yellow light
    You can take three giant steps or a baby step will do
    But if you don’t say may I, then I’ll march you out the door
    Where you’ll be contemplating the numbers one to four
    I hope you’re keeping score

    'Cause if you don’t say may I, then I’ll get you with the hose
    And spoil your sunday clothes will it please you if I tease you
    While you’re at the spindry, I’ll pass the pie around
    But you won’t make a sound
    You don’t eat blackbird anyhow

    There’s four and twenty reasons why it can’t be wrong
    How long have you been gone
    Finders, keepers, losers, weepers
    Peter, peter, pumpkin eater
    Wear your sneakers around sound sleepers

    Old Tennessee
    Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
    Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg; Fools Gold



    End of October
    The sleepy brown woods seem to
    Nod down their heads to the Winter
    Yellows and grays
    Paint the sad skies today
    And I wonder when
    You're coming home

    Woke up one morning
    The wind through the window
    Reminded me Winter
    Was just 'round the bend
    Somehow I just didn't
    See it was coming
    It took me by surprise again

    And I hear you're in San Francisco
    Living with your sister who's a mother to be
    And her husband's way down in Georgia
    And I'm still in old Tennessee ...
    Wishing you'd come home to me

    Life here is easy
    I'm sure you recall
    How it's so warm and breezy
    In the Summer and the Fall
    But Winter's upon me
    And I've got no heat here
    And I miss your fire so sweet, Dear
    I miss your fire so sweet

    And I hear you're in San Francisco
    Living with your sister who's a mother to be
    And her husband's way down in Georgia
    And I'm still in old Tennessee ...
    Wishing you'd come home to me

    End of October
    The sleepy brown woods seem to
    Nod down their heads to the Winter
    Yellows and gray
    Paint the sad skies today
    And I wonder when
    You're coming home
    I wonder when you're coming home

    May Each Day

    José Carreras; John MacNally; Mantovani



    May each day in the week be a good day
    May the Lord always watch over you
    And may all of your hopes turn to wishes
    And may all of your wishes come true

    May each day in the month be a good day
    May you make friends with each one you meet
    And may all of your daydreams be memories
    And may all of your memories be sweet

    The weeks turn to months and the months into years
    There'll be sadness and joy, there'll be laughter and tears
    But one thing I pray to heaven above
    May each of your days be a day full of love

    May each day in the year be a good day
    May each dawn find you happy and gay
    And may all of your days be as lovely
    As the one you shared with me today

    May each day of your life be a good day
    And good night

    An when me money's all spent ol' gal

    Maxwell's Silver Hammer
    Composer(s): John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
    Originally performed by: The Beatles
    Covered by various other artists



    Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical
    science in her home
    late nights all alone with a test tube oh oh oh oh
    Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine
    calls her on the phone
    can I take you out to the pictures Joan
    but as she's getting ready to go
    a knock comes on her door

    chorus

    Bang bang Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head
    bang bang maxwells silver hammer made sure that she was dead

    Back at school again, Maxwell plays the fool again
    teacher gets annoyed
    wishing to avoid an unpleasant scene
    she tells Max to stay when the class has gone away
    so he waits behind
    writing 50 times I must not be so oh oh oh
    but when she turns her back on the boy
    he creeps up from behind

    chorus

    PC 31, said we caught a dirty one
    Maxwell stands alone
    painting testimonial pictures oh oh oh oh
    Rose and Valerie, sreaming from the gallery
    say he must go free {Maxwell must go free}
    the judge does not agree and he tells them so oh oh oh
    but as the words are leaving his lips
    a noise comes from behind

    chorus {with he, substituted for her}

    Old Shep
    Composer(s): Red Foley; Willis Arthur
    Performer(s): Red Foley;
    and various other artists



    When I was a lad and Old Shep was a pup
    O'er hills and meadows we'd stray
    Just a boy and his dog, we were both full of fun
    We grew up together that way

    I remember the time at the old swimmin' hole
    When I would've drowned beyond doubt
    Shep was right there, to the rescue he came
    He jumped in and helped pulled me out

    So the years fed along and at last he grew old
    His eyesight was fast growin' dim
    Then one day the doctor looked at me and said
    "I can't do no more for him, Jim"

    With a hand that was trembling I picked up my gun
    I aimed it at Shep's faithful head
    I just couldn't do it, I wanted to run
    And I wished that they'd shoot me instead

    I went to his side and I sat on the ground
    He laid his head on my knee
    I stroked the best pal that a man ever found
    I cried so I scarcely could see

    Old Sheppie he knew he was going to go
    For he reached out and licked at my hand
    He looked up at me, just as much as to say
    "We're parting, but you understand"

    Now Old Shep is gone where the good doggies go
    And no more with Old Shep will I roam
    But if dogs have a heaven, there's one thing I know
    Old Shep has a wonderful home

    Tell us to stop before we've begun
    We've got to hold out till graduation
    Try to hang on Maxine

    While the world is sleeping
    We meet at Lincolon Mall
    Talk about life the meaning of it all
    Try to make sense of the suburban sprawl
    Try to hang on Maxine

    Mexico City is like another world
    Nice this year they say
    You'll my senorita
    In jeans and pearls
    But first let's get off this high way
    (off this high way)

    We'll move back to Manhattan
    And fill the place with friends
    Drive to the coast and drive right back again
    One day we'll wake up make love but till then

    Old Rivers
    Composer(s): Cliff Crofford
    Performer(s): Walter Brennan; David Briggs;
    Jimmy Dean; Dave Dudley; Marvin Rainwater



    How old was I when I first seen old Rivers?
    I can't remember when he weren't around
    Well, that old fellow did a heap of work
    Spent his whole life walking plowed ground

    He had a one-room shack not far from us
    And well, we was about as poor as him
    He had one old mule he called Midnight
    And I'd trailed along after them

    He used to plow them rows straight and deep
    And I'd come along near behind
    A-bustin' up clods with my own bare feet
    Old Rivers was a friend of mine

    That sun'd get high and that mule would work
    Till old Rivers'd say, ''Whoa!''
    He'd wipe his brow, lean back on the reins
    And talk about a place he was gonna go

    Chorus:
    He'd say, one of these days
    I'm gonna climb that mountain
    Walk up there amoung the clouds
    Where the cotton's high
    And the corn's a-growin'
    And there ain't no fields to plow

    --- Instrumental ---

    I got a letter today from the folks back home and
    They're all fine and crops is dry
    Down at the end my mama said, ''Son
    You know old Rivers died''

    Just sittin' here now on this new-plowed earth
    Trying to find me a little shade
    With the sun beating down 'cross the field I see
    That mule, old Rivers and me

    Chorus:
    Now, one of these days
    I'm gonna climb that mountain
    Walk up there amoung the clouds
    Where the cotton's high
    And the corn's a-growin'
    And there ain't no fields to plow

    With the sun beating down 'cross the field I see
    That mule, old Rivers and me...

    Performer(s): Slim Dusty



    I'm seated in the grandstand at a big-time rodeo
    With my walking stick beside me as I watch the scene below
    There are youngon's ridin' outlaws as I did when young and free
    And I wonder are there many old ex-riders here like me

    The horses they are ridin' couldn't buck to save their hide
    Oh I'd like to see these youngon's on the ones I used to ride
    I've used the likes of spinifex for a night horse on the run
    And brahma bulls like Wadgerra, we rode them just for fun

    The saddles they are using are designed to hold you in
    And the halter shanks are silky so as not to hurt your skin
    We rode in flattened ?Poleans? in the days of long ago
    And could have rolled a smoke aboard the likes of Curio

    The steers they use for doggin' are no bigger than a calf
    And the time they take to throw them make us old timers laugh
    We used to scrub big Mickey's twice the size in cattle yards
    Oh but that was many years ago way back when times were hard

    These youngon's dress so lairy in their fancy cowboy suits
    We used to ride in moleskins and a pair of Bluecha boots
    But all our glory's vanished, we're forgotten men, it seems
    Old riders in the grandstand alone with all our dreams

    Maximillian Mouse
    Composer(s): Rolf Harris
    Performer(s): Rolf Harris



    I am a mouse
    called Maximillian Mouse
    And I live in my Maximillian...Mouse house
    I'm very well bred
    I'm pure Castillian mouse
    And I come from a long long long long long long line of
    Castillian mouses

    Ole!

    But it always has been perilous
    Crossing the arena to the supermarkets
    Where I buy my cheese..

    It's regularly perilous
    When I think of bull-fights
    There's a quaking in my knees

    I've always had
    A taste for colourful things
    And this day I was wearing my red cortocaportocontrezbutonizonalado
    e sulapa ancocobosiasacadelamanorajo et
    plato del toros dressing gown

    I must confess I've been in gullible rings
    For the bull, when he saw what I wore
    Came rushing at me

    Ol...
    (clear throat)
    Ole.

    But if you think that because I am small I am puny
    You are wrong
    I stood my ground
    I did not move
    I could not move

    The picador's horse was standing on my tail
    So swiftly I turned and I nipped him in the fetlocks
    He was most embarrassed
    But for the moment I was free

    I pirouette to safety and the bull thunders past me
    brrrah
    Then, I hear the trumpet call for the death
    I have resolved to dispatch Senor Toros with the classic pass of the dead one
    The crowd screamed "No, no!" but
    I plant my feet firmly, one (stamp), and two (stamp)

    (quietly)
    Three (stamp), four (stamp)

    Then, from ten yards away I called the bull to me
    Toros!
    He comes rushing towards me!

    (bang, crash)

    (Smugly)
    I tripped him...

    I am a mouse
    called Maximillian Mouse
    And I live in my Maximillian...Mouse house

    I'm very well bred
    I'm pure Castillian mouse
    And I come from a long long long long long long line of
    Bull-fighting mouses

    Ole!

    Old Rattler
    (Traditional)
    Performer(s): Grandpa Jones;
    and various other artists



    Old Rattler was a good old dog
    As blind as he could be
    Ev'ry night 'bout supper time
    I believe that dog could see

    Refrain:
    Here! Rattler!
    Here! Here!
    Here! Rattler! Here!
    Call old Rattler from the barn
    Here! Rattler! Here!

    Old Rattler tree'd the other night
    And I tho't he'd tree'd a 'coon
    When I come to find out
    He was barkin' at the moon

    Refrain:

    Well, grandma had a yeller hen
    We set her as you know
    We set her on three buzzard eggs
    And hatched out one old crow

    Refrain:

    Grandpa had a muley cow
    She was muley when she's born
    It took a jaybird forty year
    To fly from horn to horn

    Refrain:

    Now if I had a needle and thread
    As fine as I could sew
    I'd sew my sweetheart to my back
    And down the road I'd go

    Refrain:

    Old Rattler was a smart old dog
    Even tho' he was blind
    He wouldn't hurt one single thing
    Tho' he was very fine

    One night I saw a big fat 'coon
    Climb up in a tree
    I called old Rattler right away
    To get 'im down fer me

    But Rattler wouldn't do it
    Because he liked that 'coon
    I saw them walkin' paw in paw
    Later by the light of the moon

    Refrain:

    Now old Rattler's dead and gone
    Like all good dogs do
    You better not act a dog yourself
    Or you'll be goin' there too

    Refrain:

    Max Goolis
    Performer(s): The Limeliters



    Well, John Henry might have been a steel drivin' man but Max
    Goolis was a street sweepin'man.....

    Lord, Lord, Max Goolis was a street sweepin'man
    Max Goolis was a street sweepin' man, Lord, Lord
    Max Goolis was a street sweepin' man

    When Max Goolis was a little bitty babe
    The first words he did utter were
    "Listen, Mum & Dad, I plan to spend
    My whole life in the gutter, Lord, Lord
    My whole life in the gutter

    Well one day the boss came out on the job
    and he brought an automatic garbage truck around
    He said, "Alright, Max, turn in your white ducks, fella, you're through."
    Imagine it
    Goolis, foremost name in refuse, cast up on the heap, destitute
    He said, "Just a minute, sir, I deserve another chance
    I propose a race, me against the automatic garbage truck
    What do you say?"

    Well, the entrepreneur was of the imaginative sort
    always looking for some kind of incentive proposal, short of profit-sharing
    and he said, "Alright, Maxie, in view of your years of devoted service
    I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
    You take one side of the street and the automatic garbage truck will take the other
    To the victor, belong the spoils!"

    They started down the avenue
    The scene it really looked bad
    The automatic truck was sweeping up a storm
    And Max was shovelling like mad, Lord, Lord
    And Max was shovelling like mad

    Max poured on speed and then he said
    "I've only saved a coupla dimes
    I'm behind by thirteen orange peels
    And a copy of the New York Times, Lord, Lord
    A copy of the New York Times"

    West Coast edition
    Well eyewitnesses tell us that Max wasn't behind at all
    As a matter of fact, he was pulling ahead, slowly but surely
    in an epic of human labour when someone said suddenly
    "Hey, look, there's a parade a-comin'!"
    Sure enough it was the United States mounted cavalry

    I'm certain that no-one expects us to include the next verse, certainly not our Aunt David
    Suffice it to say that the wind blew, and quite a few objects were airborne
    Well, some say it broke poor Max's heart and he died
    And others say, "Not a bit of it: his spirit lives on
    in keeping things neat and clean right here in San Francisco
    because Max Goolis was a street sweepin' man....."

    Lord, Lord
    Max Goolis was a street sweepin'man

    He broke his poor heart and then he died
    But Max is really not gone
    On every single street where garbage lies
    His soul goes shovelling on, Lord, Lord
    His soul goes shovelling on, and on, and on
    His soul goes shovelling on

    Old Playmate
    Composer(s): Gus Kahn; Matty Malneck
    Performer(s): Ted Lewis; Frances Day



    (Spoken)
    Well Bobby, I didn’t recognise you at first
    It’s a long time since we met, it must be years
    I must say you look cleaner than you did
    But then, you were only a kid
    You used to be so shy
    Do you remember when I fell off the swing and hurt my back
    you brought me your guinea pig, smelly little things weren’t they
    D’you remember you were too shy to come and see me because I was in bed
    Still, we had some good times together, oh we had some marvellous times
    I remember them so, well
    And I also remember that folks didn’t like you, you had funny ways

    (Sung)
    They used to wonder what I found to praise
    But you were part of my happiest days
    Old playmate

    (Spoken)
    Now let’s see, you were about eleven, yes I remember I was just nine

    (Sung)
    When I was hungry you just knew the signs
    If you had something, the best half was mine
    My playmate

    Still, on life’s highway, we seem to have drifted apart
    Though I wanted my way you’re still in my heart
    And now I’ve got a feeling you’re still watching me
    I’m only hoping I turn out to be
    A little bit like you’d like me to be
    My playmate

    I have kept a picture book of memories
    There I keep a photograph of you
    Just a ragged urchin that you used to be
    But the dearest pal I ever knew

    Folks didn’t like you, you had funny ways
    They used to wonder what I found to praise
    But you were part of my happiest days
    Old playmate.

    I’ve got a feeling you’re still watching me
    I’m only hoping I turned out to be
    A little bit like you’d like me to be

    (Spoken)
    Do you remember how I pushed you in the duck pond because you wanted to kiss me?
    You never tried again did you
    I thought kissing was silly, then
    But, oh, Bobby you mustn’t, everybody’s looking
    You can’t .....

    Look at you
    Look at everything you do
    Don't you ever lose that lucky glow
    Cloudy view
    Never interferes with you
    Don't you ever cry when you feel low

    I've been eating my heart out
    Since you've been gone
    Since you've been running 'round alone

    I've been eating my heart out
    Since you've been gone
    Since you've been running 'round alone

    I've been spinning my days out
    Just sitting at home
    I'm hanging around for your return

    Dream come true
    even 'though you never do
    Don't you ever lose that lucky glow
