Covered by multiple other artists



Tamp 'em up solid, so they won't come down
Tamp 'em up solid, buddy, so they won't come down
Tamp 'em up solid, so they won't come down
Tamp 'em up solid, buddy, so they won't come down

Baby, when you marry your railroad man
Every day'll be pay day, dollar bill in your hand
Baby, in your hand, baby, in your hand
Baby, in your hand, baby, in your hand

Mary and the baby laying in the bed
Thinking about the money that I ain't made

So tamp 'em up solid so they won't come down
Tamp 'em up solid, buddy, so they won't come down

Captain called the water boy and the water boy laughed
Captain kicked the water boy yelling, "Yes, yes, yes"

So tamp 'em up solid, so they won't come down
Tamp 'em up solid, buddy, so they won't come down
And you can do it, and you can do it, and you can do it
So they won't come down

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto
Mata ah-oo hima de
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto
Himitsu wo shiri tai (*)
You're wondering who I am-machine or mannequin
With parts made in Japan, I am the modren man
I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin
My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M.
So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised
I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide
To keep me alive-just keep me alive
Somewhere to hide to keep me alive
I'm not a robot without emotions-I'm not what you see
I've come to help you with your problems, so we can be free
I'm not a hero, I'm not a saviour, forget what you know
I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control
Beyond my control-we all need control
I need control-we all need control
I am the modren man, who hides behind a mask
So no one else can see my true identity
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For doing the jobs that nobody wants to
And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For helping me escape just when I needed to
Thank you-thank you, thank you
I want to thank you, please, thank you
The problem's plain to see: too much technology
Machines to save our lives 
Machines dehumanize
The time has come at last
To throw away this mask
So everyone can see
My true identity...
I'm Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy!

'Thank you very much, Mr. Robot'
'Till the day we'll see next time'
'Thank you very much, Mr. Robot'
'I want to know your secret

Go Chase A Moonbeam
Composer(s): Lee Pockriss; Paul Vance
Performer(s): Jerry Vale



I was feeling so alone today
Watching lovers as they passed my way
I could almost feel the love in the air
And I thought is it there for me
Then a friendly little butterfly
Flew around me 'til he caught my eye
He was careful so that no one could hear
As he whispered in my ear

Go chase a moonbeam across a meadow
And wrap a rainbow around your heart
Then find a bluebird to sing a love song
And Mother Nature will do her part

So I listened to the butterfly
And when I gave his advice a try
Why, it wasn't very long 'til I found

There was love all around for me
Now if you are all alone some day
Watching happy lovers pass your way
Just remember what he told me to do
And the same thing applies to you

Go chase a moonbeam across a meadow
And wrap a rainbow around your heart
Then find a bluebird to sing a love song
And Mother Nature will do her part
And Mother Nature will do her part

Tamo E Tamero

J'ai tout essayé pour te plaire
Les fleurs l'humour et la tendresse
Contre nature en colère, j't'ai fait l'amour a la française
Et ma dernière chance avec toi
C'est une chanson italienne, pour que tu tombes dans mes bras
Une chanson napolitaine

Tamo e tamero o per la vita, con la mente
Tamo e tamero écoute l'Italie, ecout' et puis oublie
Tamo e tamero le coup de la romance c'est ma dernière chance
Tamo e tamero écoute l'italien, écoute et ne dit rien
Dans ma voix de brouillard y a un curieux pouvoirs
Tamo e tamero o

Non il n'est pas prêt de mourir
Le vieux mithe de Roméo
De l'italien qui sait séduire avec d'la musique et les mots
Je ne joue plus infinita, tu me préfère an al capone
En séducteur em mafioso, écoute je t'emmène a Veronne

Je te le dit a l'italienne coté jardin coté court
C'est moi qui fait la mise en scène, c'est moi qui invente l'amour
C'est drôle que ça ne se fait plus, et qu'il faut vivre avec son temps
Mais tu sais bien que l'italien, chante depuis la nuit des temps

Tamo e tamero o per la vita, con la mente
Tamo e tamero écoute l'Italie, ecout' et puis oublie
Tamo e tamero le goût de la romance c'est ma dernière chance
Tamo e tamero écoute l'italien, écoute et ne dit rien
Dans ma voix de brouillard y a un curieux pouvoirs
Tamo e tamero o
Tamo e tamero o
Tamo e tamero o
Tamo e tamero o

Mr. Radio Man
Composer(s): Cliff Friend; Ira Schuster; John White
Performer(s): Al Jolson



Little broken hearted Sammy
Sitting on his Daddy's knee
Listening to the radio
But his heart is breaking so
Seems the angels took his Mammy
Any wonder why he cries
When his Daddy fell asleep
Little Sammy boy would creep
To the radio and cry...

Mr. Radio Man
Tell my Mammy to come back home
Won't you do what you can
`Cos I'm so lonely

I've been listening here every day
Since she went away
But no word from Heaven's been heard
Can't the angels hear me pray

When the sandman is nigh
And to slumberland I must go
I know she hears me sigh
Over my radio

When the reason I'm crying
And sighing, I'm all alone
Mr. Radio Man
Tell my mammy to come back home

Mr. Radio Man
Tell my Mammy, my Mammy to come back home
Won't you do won't you do what you can
Oooh! I'm so lonely

I've been listening in every day
Ever since she went away
But not a word from Heaven have I heard
Can't the angels hear me pray

When the sandman is nigh
And to slumberland I must go
I know she must hear me sigh
Over my radio

Oh, and the reason I'm, I'm sighing
And I'm crying, I'm so alone
Mr. Radio Man, please
Please tell my Mammy to come back home

Go Away, Mister Crocodile!
Composer(s): C.W. Murphy; D. Lipton



At the break of day, as the sun's bright ray
Shone upon the River Nile
From the waters deep there began to creep
Such a great, big crocodile
And there on the banks a baby c**n played
And she wished to play alone
So she frowned on the crocodile, and shouted
In quite an angry tone, "Go away! Go away!"

"Go away, Mister Crocodile!
Don't you wag your tail with glee
Run and play, Mister Crocodile
Kase you ain't gwine to play with me
Go away, Mister Crocodile!
I could watch you cry all day
'Kase I know that tear ain't a bit sincere
Mister Crocodile, go away! Go away!"

Said the crocodile with a knowing smile
"I have waited days for you,
As on you I gaze, there's something says
You'd be tender, if not true
I love you so much that I could eat you,
How I wish that we were one!"
But she climbed to the branches of a palm tree
And thus bade him begone, "Go away! Go away!"

"Go away, Mister Crocodile!
Don't you wag your tail with glee
Run and play, Mister Crocodile
Kase you ain't gwine to play with me
Go away, Mister Crocodile!
I could watch you cry all day
'Kase I know that tear ain't a bit sincere
Mister Crocodile, go away! Go away!"

I hear the cottonwoods whispering above 
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love! 
The old hootie owl hootie-hoo's to the dove 
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love! 
Does my darling feel what I feel 
When he comes near? 
My heart beats so joyfully 
you'd think that he could hear! 
Wish I knew if he knew what I'm dreaming of! 
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love! 

Whippoorwill, whippoorwill, you and I know 
Tammy! Tammy! Can't let him go! 
The breeze from the bayou keeps murmuring low 
Tammy! Tammy! You love him so! 
When the night is warm, soft and warm 
I long for his charms! 
I'd sing like a violin 
if I were in his arms 
Wish I knew if he knew what I'm dreaming of! 
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love!

Wish you wouldn't stay (little girl)
Won't you go away (little girl)

Tamburi Lontani
Composer(s): Claudio Baglioni
Performer(s): Claudio Baglioni



Ognuno ha il suo tamburo
un solo ritmo
un canto
della comune solitudine
che noi mettemmo insieme
a starci un poco accanto
su questa via dell'abitudine

il tempo vince sempre
il tempo lui soltanto
si muove e noi restiamo immobili
finché ci porta un suono
atteso chissà quanto
e ci promettiamo indivisibili

alberi che sfilano come persone care
fantasmi della strada
devi prendere o lasciare
si comunque vada non come volevi
battono i tamburi battono più lontani
e' giusto così
non chiesi mai qualcuno che comprasse la mia
infelicità
(tam tam tam)
non piansi mai davanti alla tristezza ma versi
l'onestà
(tam tam tam)

dimmelo anche tu
che il tempo non ci ha sconosciuto
male e bene mio
che dopo ti hanno amato meglio
si ma non di più
di tutto il poco che ho potuto io

vieni padre mio
usciamo a fare un giro e guida tu
e guarda avanti e non parliamo più
albero padre con un ramo solo

e come tutto torna e come tutto passa
le cose cambiano per vivere
e vivono per cambiare
il mare s'alza e abbassa

ed ogni giorno siamo dietro ad una cassa
a dare il resto e poi sorridere
un ballo senza fiato se la banda passa
e finché non smetti di rincorrere

le storie muoiono quando c'e' più paura
di perdersi che voglia di tenersi e com'e' dura
quella soglia e come siamo noi i diversi
cambiano le scene cambiano le battute
e anche i battuti
io non potrò incontrarvi in nessun luogo
in nessun'altra età
(tam tam tam)
fermar l'urgenza del mio cuore
il cuore di un uomo a metà
(tam tam tam)

pensa amore mio
che t'insegnai mille altri cieli
e non seppi mai
soffiarti il vento sulle ali
aspettai un addio
e il giorno di lasciarmi ti lasciai

credi figlio mio
mi mancano i tuoi baci che non ho
e sono i soli baci che io so
piccolo figlio

e tu compagno dalle orecchie a punta
io ti parlai di me
come a un fratello a cui ci si racconta
io non ne avevo e allora presi te
e quella tua sgomenta
e nostra malattia di vivere

giura amico mio
che glielo metteremo ancora lì
a questa vita che va via così
senza aspettarci

tam tam tam

Mr. President (Have Pity On The Working Man)
Composer(s): Randy Newman
Performer(s): Randy Newman; 
Saint Paul & His Coalition of the Willing



We've taken all you've given
It's getting hard to make a living
Mister President, have pity on the working man

We ain't asking you to love us
You may place yourself high above us
Mister President, have pity on the working man

I know it may sound funny
But people ev'rywhere running out of money
We just cant make it by ourself

It is cold and the wind is blowing
We need something to keep us going
Mister President have pity on the working man

Maybe you're cheap
Maybe you're blind
Maybe you have lost your mind
Maybe you only think about yourself

Too late to run, too late to cry now
The time has come to say goodbye now
Mister President, have pity on the working man
Mister President, have pity on the working man

Go All The Way

I never knew how complete love could be
Till she kissed me and said
"Baby, please go all the way
It feels so right
Being with you here tonight
Please, go all the way
Just hold me close
Don't ever let me go"

I couldn't say what I wanted to say
Till she whispered, "I love you so
Please go all the way
It feels so right
Being with you here tonight
Please, go all the way
Just hold me close
Don't ever let me go"

Before her love I was cruel and mean
I had a hole in the place where my heart should have been
But now I've changed
And it feels so strange
I come alive when she does all those things to me
And she says
"Come on" (Come on)
"Come on" (Come on)
"Come on" (Come on)
"Come on" (Come on)
"I need you" (Come on)
"I love you" (Come on)
"I need you" (Come on)

Please, go all the way
It feels so right being with you here tonight
Please, go all the way
Just hold me close
Don't ever let me go

Go all the way

Oh my God here U are 
Prettiest thing in life I've ever seen 
Close my eyes what's it like

Falling in love with the face in a magazine (uh oh, not again) 
All alone by myself 
Me and I play my tamborine

Why are U the star of 
All my dreams

Are U good, are U bad 
Are U just unnecessary means

All alone and play my tamborine (aww)

Composer(s): Bill Medley
Performer(s): The Righteous Brothers



(Love can make a young boy into man)
(But a broken heart can change a young man
into a boy again)

You're not the first man to cry 
When things have gone wrong
You're human, you're only so strong
(It takes one) Little tear to knock a big man down
(It takes one) Broken heart to keep him down on the ground
It takes three little words, to make him stand again
(Stand up again)

So, go ahead and cry, go ahead and cry
Go ahead and cry

Love is so easy to play, but so hard to win
You're still a young man, you're heart will love again
(It takes one) Little kiss from her sweet tender lips
(It takes one) Gentle touch from her soft fingertips
It takes more than one tear, to mend a broken heart
(A broken heart)

Go ahead and cry, go ahead and cry
Go ahead and cry, go ahead, go ahead
Go ahead and cry
I want you to get down on your knees and (Cry)
Kneel down baby
When you're feelin' blue I want you to (Cry)
Don't be ashamed to (Cry)

Zé qualquer tava sem samba, sem dinheiro 
Sem Maria sequer
Sem qualquer paradeiro
Quando encontrou um samba
Inútil e derradeiro
Numa inútil e derradeira
Velha nota de um cruzeiro

``Seu Marquês'', ``seu'' Almirante
Do semblante meio contrariado
Que fazes parado
No meio dessa nota de um cruzeiro rasgado
``Seu Marquês'', ``seu'' Almirante
Sei que antigamente era bem diferente
Desculpe a liberdade
E o samba sem maldade
Deste Zé qualquer
Perdão Marquês de Tamandaré
Pedrão Marquês de Tamandaré

Pois é, Tamandaré
A maré não tá boa
Vai virar a canoa
E este mar não dá pé, Tamandaré
Cadê as batalhas
Cadê as medalhas
Cadê a nobreza
Cadê a marquesa, cadê
Não diga que o vento levou
Teu amor até

Pois é, Tamandaré
A maré não tá boa
Vai virar a canoa
E este mar não dá pé, Tamandaré
Meu marquês de papel
Cadê teu troféu
Cadê teu valor
Meu caro almirante
O tempo inconstante roubou

Zé quaquer tornou-se amigo do marquês
Solidário na dor
Que eu contei a vocês
Menos que queira ou mais faça 
É o fim do samba, é o fim da raça
Zé qualquer tá caducando
Desvalorizando
Como o tempo passa, passando
Virando fumça, virando
Caindo em desgraça, caindo
Sumindo, saindo da praça
Passando, sumindo
Saindo da praça
