Movin' On Composer(s): Merle Haggard Originally performed by: Merle Haggard
Big wheels rollin', big wheels rollin' Movin' on
Big wheels rollin', gotta keep 'em goin' Big wheels rollin' Movin' On
The white line is the life line to a nation And men like Will and Sonny make it move Livin' like a gypsy, always on the go Doin' what they best know how to do
Jammin' gears has got to be a fever 'Cause men become addicted to the grind It takes a special breed to be a truck drivin' man And a steady hand to pull that load behind

Give me your tired, your poor Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free The wretched refuse of your teeming shore Send these the homeless tempest-tost to me I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
Give me your tired, your poor Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free The wretched refuse of your teeming shore Send these the homeless tempest-tost to me I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
Take Your Girlie To The Movies (If You Can't Make Love At Home)
Take Your Girlie To The Movies (If You Can't Make Love At Home) Composer(s): Bert Kalmar - Edgar Leslie Performer(s): Dean Martin
Beatrice Fairfax gives advice To anyone in love That's why Johnny Gray Wrote to her one day 'When I call to love my girl Her folks are always there That's why I'm blue What shall I do?" And Beatrice said, "never despair"
Sweethearts always used to spoon In a big morris chair Young folks of today Have a different way Far away from cranky dad And mother's eagle eye It's lots of fun Here's how it's done So come on and give it a try
Take your girlie to the movies If you can't make love at home There's not little brother there who always squeals You can say an awful lot in the seven reels Take your lessons at the movies And have love scenes of your own When the pictures over and it's time to leave Don't forget to brush the powder off your sleeve Take your girlie to the movies If you can't make love at home
Take your girlie to the movies If you can't make love at home Pick a cozy corner where it's nice and dark Don't catch influenza, kissing in the park Take your lessons at the movies And have love scenes of your own Tho she's just a simple little ribbon clerk Close your eyes and think you're kissing Billie Burke Take your girlie to the movies If you can't make love at home

Take Your Fingers Off It (Traditional) Performer(s): Memphis Jug Band and multiple other artists
Katie King she had a diamond ring And it caused her lots of woe Now who would be the lucky one to get it Well all the fellahs wanted to know Red Cap called on her one night Saw the ring and lost his head But when he went to view it He stuck his finger through it And this is what she loudly said...
Man, take your fingers off it Now don't you try to touch it 'Cause it don't belong to you There's no need to crave it 'Cause mama's gonna save it For the man whose love is true
Boy, try and find something like it See if you won't fail Papa you can't buy it 'cause it ain't for sale Now take your fingers off it And don't you dare to touch it 'Cause it don't belong to you
I said take your fingers off it And don't you dare to touch it 'Cause it don't belong to you Well there's no need to crave it 'Cause Mama's gonna save it For the man whose love is true
Boy, try and find something like it See if you won't fail Papa you can't buy it cause it ain't for sale You gotta take your fingers off it And don't you dare to touch it 'Cause it don't belong to you You hear me tellin' you, man No, it don't belong to you

Baby Star
((Adapted from: Movie Star (by Harpo) - 1975))
Composer(s): Harpo - Vline Buggy - Claude Carrère
Performer(s): Sacha Distel - 1976
Des cils en soie bleutée Et des lèvres couleur abricot Tu voudrais à tout prix ressembler A Marilyn ou à Garbo Fume-cigarettes et talons hauts Avec une robe noire rétro Mais moi, qui te connaît si bien, qui t'aime Ce n'est pas pour ça que je suis avec toi
Baby star, my baby star Tu es tellement plus belle Baby star, ô my baby star Quand tu es naturelle Star, ha-ha-hain
Tirée des romans d'Hemingway Ou sortie d'un film de Fellini Capricieuse comme une reine de Broadway Comédienne par instinct, tu pleures, tu ries Tu séduis, tu t'enfuies dans la nuit Comme un rêve entrevu au hasard d'une rue Mais moi, qui te connaît et qui t'aime aussi Ce n'est pas pour ça que je suis avec toi
Baby star, my baby star Tu es tellement plus belle Baby star, ô my baby star Quand tu es naturelle Star, ha-ha-hain
Cheveux dans le vent Dans une robe couleur pois de senteur C'est ainsi que je t'ai connue C'est comme ça que je veux te garder
Baby star, my baby star Tu es tellement plus belle Baby star, ô my baby star Quand tu es naturelle Star, ha-ha-hain
I found a woman I felt a true love She was everything I'd ever been dreaming of
But she was bad, I didn't know it Her pretty smile never did show it All I knew is what I could see And I knew I wanted her for me
Took her home to mama Mama, wanna see my future bride Well she looked at us both Then she called me to her side
She said, "son, take time to know her It's not an overnight thing Take time to know her Please don't go rushin to do your thing
But I didn't listen to my mama I went straight to the church I just couldn't wait for that little girl of mine When I got off from work The preacher was there So was my future bride He looked at us both and he called me to his side
Take time to know her Not an overnight fling Take time to know her Don't go rushin to do your thing
But it looks like every thing's gonna turn out all right But then I came home from work a little early one night And there she was kissin on another man Now I know what mama meant when she took me by the hand She said, take time to know her Not an overnight fling Take time to know her Don't go rushin to do your thing She said, take time to know her Not an overnight fling Take time to know her Don't go rushin to do your thing Take time to know her ...
Movie Star
((French Version: Baby Star (by Sacha Distel) - 1976))
Composer(s): Harpo
First release by: Harpo - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists
You feel like Steve McQueen
When you're driving in your car
And you think you look like James Bond
When you're smoking your cigar
It's so bizarre
You think you are a new kind of James Dean
But the only thing I've ever seen of you
Was a commercial spot on the screen
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie-Star ah ah ah
You should belong to the jet set
Fly your own private learjet
But you worked in a grocery store
Every day you could afford to get away
So you went to sweden to meet ingrid bergman
But he wasn't there or he yust didn't care
I think it's time for you my friend
To stop pretending that you are a moviestar
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie-Star ah ah ah
Frozen hero
Your words are zero
Your dreams have vanished into dark long ago
But you're the one to know
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie-Star ah ah ah
Give Me Wings Composer(s): Rhonda Fleming; Don Schlitz Performer(s): Michael Johnson; Highstrung; Don Schlitz
Oh Elaine, you've broken my dreams It's not as it seemed before I can see it don't mean to you What it could mean to me Been a long time, as the road winds I'm sideways, in a great haze I turn, turn ... the page
Oh Elaine, I'm going insane It's cold and the rain won't do I'm told I must make this turn I guess it won't be with you
Chorus
So long, I bid you farewell I wish you the best, you know Oh Elaine, if you change your mind It's me you can find again Turn, turn ... the page
Take This Town Composer(s): Andy Partridge - Brian Howe - Terry Thomas Performer(s): Bad Company; XTC
Living in a rabbit tunnel Keep the doggie in her kennel Mustn't let her see the world Oh, no! Don't treat her like that Oh, no! Don't treat her like that
Living under Mum and Daddy Carry hope just like a caddie Mustn't let them see you're killed Oh, no! Don't treat her like that Oh, no! Don't treat her like that
Shout it clear for all to hear You won't shoot this bird down Shout it clear for all to hear We're going to take this town We're going to take this town We're going to take this town We're going to take this town We're going to take this town
Turn a deaf ear to the orders Keep them as your perfect daughters Mustn't let them know their minds Oh, no! Don't treat her like that Oh, no! Don't treat her like that
Turning on to only music Breaking from their childhood attic Mustn't let them open the blinds Oh, no! Don't treat her like that Oh, no! Don't treat her like that
Shout it clear for all to hear You won't shoot this bird down Shout it clear for all to hear We're going to take this town We're going to take this town We're going to take this town We're going to take this town We're going to take this town
It's time she stopped being your ornament It's time she put that in the past for permanent You can't hold her if she wants to roam around around around around around You can't hold her dream and keep it gagged and bound, gagged and bound
We're going We're going to We're going to take We're going to take this We're going to take this We're going to take this We're going to take this We're going to take this We're going to take this
Movie Queen Composer(s): Paul Kelly Performer(s): Bill Anderson
This is a song about a girl from the bayou down in Louisiana country The story simply says She left home at sixteen said she was gonna be a movie queen Said her hometown was just too small and she had roaches and rats wall to wall So without a bag of beans she made a change of scenes Hitched a ride up to New Orleans With just the clothes on her back and a little brown sack Said hello to the city where she would learn to act Gonna be a movie queen gonna be on the big wide screen Fancy clothes and diamond rings have all the better things
She took a part time job at the Burger King Went to school at night oh she was doin' her things Then she started hangin' out with the evening crowd Gettin' high acclaim before she knew it she was all strung out She still had that dream of bein' a movie queen So she decided she'd have to leave New Orleans Hollywood bound but with her feet on the ground When she got to the city she took a look around Said gonna be a movie queen...
Oh but things didn't work out that way they found her dead in her room today But in my mind I can hear her say I can still hear her say Gonna be a movie queen...

Era um garoto, que como eu amava os Beatles e os Rolling Stones Girava o mundo sempre a cantar As coisas lindas da América Não era belo mas mesmo assim Havia mil garotas, sim Cantava "Help" and "Ticket to ride" Oh! "Lady Jane" and "Yesterday" Cantava viva a liberdade Mas uma carta sem esperar Da sua guitarra o separou Fora chamado na América Stop! com Rolling Stones Stop! com Beatles songs Mandado foi ao Vietnã Brigar com vietcongs
Era um garoto, que como eu amava os Beatles e os Rolling Stones Girava o mundo mas acabou Fazendo a guerra no Vietnã Cabelos longos não usa mais Não toca a sua guitarra e sim Um instrumento que sempre dá A mesma nota ratá-tatá Não tem amigos Nem mais garotas Só gente morta caindo ao chão Ao seu país não voltará Pois está morto no Vietnã Stop! com Rolling Stones Stop! com Beatles songs No peito coração não há Mas duas medalhas sim
