Ten Little Bottles
Composer(s): Johnny Bond
Performer(s): Johnny Bond



A friend of mine gave me ten little bottles
Of some special stuff that he brewed up his-self
So I took it and hid it down in my basement
But my wife found out about it and she told me to get rid of it or else
And since I didn't like the way she said or else
I went down there and proceeded to carry out her instructions

I sat the ten little bottles on the drainboard
Picked up the first bottle, pulled the cork out of it
And poored it down the sink
That is, um, all except one little swallow - which I drank

I picked up the next bottle and I pulled the cork out of it
And poured it down the sink
All except one little swallow - which I drank

I picked up the next bottle and I pulled the sink out of it
And I poured it down the cork
All except one little swallow - which I drank

I picked up the next cork and I pulled the bottle out of it
And I poured it down the sink
All except one little drink - which I drank

I picked up the next sink and I pulled the cork out of it
And I poured it down the bottle
All except one little swallow - which I sank

I picked up the next drink and I pulled the swallow out of it
And I poured it down the sink
All except one little drink - I think

Well anyway by this time it's plain to see
That them little bottles of mine, let's see now
How many bottles have I got left - which I drank

Now I'm askin' you wasn't that a awful thing for my wife to make me do
Bless her little heart, bl-less her little heart, I'm tellin' ya one thing
You better not say nothin' against my wife buster
'Cause I'll have you know, I'll - have - you - know
That I've got da wifest little nice you ever saw in your [hicc]
Which I drank

My Mind's Eye
Italian Title: Quattro Lire E Noi
Composer(s): Ronnie Lane; Steve Marriott
Originally performed by: The Small Faces 
Covered by various other artists



I sit here every day 
lookin' at the sky
ever wondrin' why
I dream my dreams away
And I'm livin' for today
In my mind's eye

Things are clearer than before
Showing my the way
Asking me to stay
I'll never close the door
to all these things and more 
in my mind's eye

Everybody I know says I've changed
Laughin' behind their hands I think their strange

People runnin' everywhere
Runnin' through my life
I couldn't give a damn
`cause they'll never see
all that I can see
With my mind's eye

Na na na na na na
Na na na na na 
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na

Na na na na na na
Na na na na na 
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na ...

Grand Jacques (C'est Trop Facile)
Composer(s): Jacques Brel
Performer(s): Jacques Brel



C'est trop facile d'entrer aux églises
De déverser toutes ses saletés
Face au curé qui dans la lumière grise
Ferme les yeux pour mieux nous pardonner

Tais-toi donc Grand Jacques
Que connais-tu du Bon Dieu
Un cantique une image
Tu n'en connais rien de mieux

C'est trop facile quand les guerres sont finies
D'aller gueuler que c'était la dernière
Ami bourgeois vous me faites envie
Vous ne voyez donc point vos cimetières

Tais-toi donc Grand Jacques
Et laisse-les donc crier
Laisse-les pleurer de joie
Toi qui ne fus même pas soldat

C'est trop facile quand un amour se meurt
Qu'il craque en deux parce qu'on l'a trop plié
D'aller pleurer comme les hommes pleurent
Comme si l'amour durait l'éternité

Tais-toi donc Grand Jacques
Que connais-tu de l'amour
Des yeux bleus des cheveux fous
Tu n'en connais rien du tout

Et dis-toi donc Grand Jacques
Et dis-toi donc Grand Jacques
Dis-le-toi bien souvent
C'est trop facile
De faire semblant
De faire semblant

Ten Guitars

Performer(s): Engelbert Humperdinck
and multiple other artists



I have a band of men and all they do is play for me 
They come from miles around to hear them play a melody 
Beneath the stars my ten guitars will play a song for you 
And if you're with the one you love this is what you do 

Oh, dance, dance, dance to my ten guitars 
And very soon you know just where you are 
Through the eyes of love you see a thousand stars 
When you dance, dance, dance, to my ten guitars 

Guitars are made for love my band of men will always say 
So give each one a pretty girl and they will start to play 
Beneath the stars my ten guitars will play a song for you 
And if you're with the one you love this is what to do 

Oh, dance, dance, dance to my ten guitars 
And very soon you know just where you are 
Through the eyes of love you see a thousand stars 
When you dance, dance, dance, to my ten guitars 

Ooh, let me tell you now 
Dance, dance, dance to my ten guitars 
Hm, come on, everybody
Dance dance dance to my ten guitars

My Melody Of Love
Composer(s): Henry Mayer; Bobby Vinton
Performer(s): Bobby Vinton
and various other artists



I'm lookin' for a place to go
So I can be all alone
From thoughts and memories
So that when the music plays
I don't go back to the days
When love was you and me

"Oh, oh, moja droga, ja Cie kocham"
Means that I love you so
"Moja droga, ja Cie kocham"
More than you'll ever know
"Kocham ciebie calym sercem"
Love you with all my heart
Return to me and always be
My melody of love

Wish I had a place to hide
Al my sorrow, all my pride
I just can't get along
'Cause the love once so fine
Keeps on hurtin' all the time
Where did I go wrong?

"Oh, oh, moja droga ja Cie kocham"
Means that I love you so
"Moja droga, ja Cie kocham"
More than you'll ever know
"Kocham ciebie calym sercem"
Love you with all my heart
Return to me and always be
My melody of love

Woh-oh, la-la, la-la-la, la, la-la
My melody of love
La-la, la-la-la, la, la-la

My melody of love
La-la, la-la-la, la, la-la
My melody...

Grand Hotel
Composer(s): Gary Brooker; Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum



Tonight we sleep on silken sheets
We drink fine wine and eat rare meats
On Carousel and gambling stake
Our fortunes speed, and dissipate
It's candlelight and chandelier
It's silver plate and crystal clear
The nights we stay at Hotel Grand

Tonight we dine at Hotel Ritz
(A golden dish with every wish)
It's mirrored walls, and velvet drapes
Dry champagne, and bursting grapes
Dover sole, and Oeufs Mornay
Profiteroles and Peach Flambe
The waiters dance on fingertips
The nights we dine at Hotel Ritz

One more toast to greet the morn
The wine and dine have danced till dawn
Where's my Continental Bride?
We'll Continental slip and slide
Early morning pinch and bite
(These French girls always like to fight)
It's serenade and Sarabande
The nights we stay at Hotel Grand
Les nuits qu'on passe à l'Hotel Grande

Ten Guitars
Performer(s): Billy Connolly



I like to sing James Taylor songs, and songs by Carol King
I'll even sing John Murphy songs, I'll sing anything
But when I sing in social clubs, just one thing sickens me
a wee drunk woman staggers up, and this is what she says to me
Hey Jimmy, gonna gi' us Ten Guitars?
Her face has got a dozen battle scars
Oh, I must have sang that song in a thousand bars
Oh I'm really getting sick of Ten Guitars

Guitars were made for Rock and Roll, and no' this kind of trash
Gimme a song wi' Stephen Stills, or even Johnny Cash
But just when I start out to sing, some nice wee melody
the same wee woman donners up, and this is what she says to me

Hey Jimmy, oh c'mon, gi' us Ten Guitars
Her face has got a thousand battle scars
Oh, I must have sang that song in a thousand bars
Oh I'm really getting sick of Ten Guitars

Oh, if I could get my hands on that big balm-pot Humperdink
I'd rip his tonsils out his throat, and stuff them down the sink
Oh, I wish he'd never sang that song, or maybe something else
instead,
I'd love to take his ten Guitars, and wrap them around his head

Hey Jimmy, oh c'mon, gi' us Ten Guitars
Her face has got a million battle scars
Oh, I must have sang that song in a thousand bars
Oh I'm really getting sick of Ten Guitars

I'd love to break the strings on his Ten Guitars

My Melancholy Baby
Composer(s): Ernie Burnett; George A. Norton
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and various other artists



Come to me my melancholy baby 
Cuddle up and don't be blue ...
All your fears are foolish fancy, maybe 
You know dear that I'm in love with you! 

Every cloud must have a silver lining 
Wait until the sun shines through 
Smile my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear 
Or else I shall be melancholy too! 

Every cloud must have a silver lining 
Wait until the sun shines through 
Smile my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear 
Or else I shall be melancholy too!

Grand Coulee Dam
Composer(s): Woody Guthrie
Performer(s): Woody Guthrie;
and various other artists



Now the world holds seven wonders
That the travellers always tell
Some gardens and some towers,
I guess you know them well
But now the greatest wonder
Is in Uncle Sam's fair land
It's the big Columbia River
And the big Grand Coulee Dam

She heads up the Canadian Rockies
Where the rippling waters glide
Comes a-roaring down the canyon
For to meet that salty tide
Of the big Pacific Ocean
Where the sun sinks in the west
In the big Grand Coulee country
In the land I love the best

In the misty crystal glitter
Of the wild and windward spray
Men have fought the pounding waters
And met a watery grave
Why, she tore their boats to splinters
But she gave men dreams to dream
Of the day the Coulee Dam
Would cross that wild and wasted stream

Now Uncle Sam took up the challenge
In the year of thirty three
For the farmer and the factory
And all of you and me
He said, "Roll along Columbia
You can roll down to the sea
But river, while you're rambling
You can do some work for me"

In the misty crystal glitter
Of the wild and windward spray
Men have fought the pounding waters
And met a watery grave
Why, she tore their boats to splinters
But she gave men dreams to dream
Of the day the Coulee Dam
Would cross that wild and wasted stream

Now from Washington and Oregon
You can hear the factories hum
Making chrome and making manganese
And white aluminum
Now the roar of the Flying Fortress
For to fight for Uncle Sam
On the howling King Columbia
By the big Grand Coulee Dam

In the misty crystal glitter
Of the wild and windward spray
Men have fought the pounding waters
And met a watery grave
Why, she tore their boats to splinters
But she gave men dreams to dream
Of the day the Coulee Dam
Would cross that wild and wasted stream

Now the world holds seven wonders
That the travellers always tell
Some gardens and some towers,
Why, I guess you know them well
But now the greatest wonder
Is in Uncle Sam's fair land
It's the big Columbia River
And the big Grand Coulee Dam

Ten Feet Off The Ground
Composer(s): Richard M. Sherman - Robert B. Sherman
Performer(s): Buddy Ebsen, Leslie Ann Warren, Janet Blair
and multiple other artists



Who invented music?
I'd like to shake his hand
'Cause music casts a spell
That I can understand
That must be some magician
Designed a magic plan
He changed his wand to a baton
And that's how it all began

When the rhythm bounds and the harmony sounds
And the melody rolls around
Presto! Change-O!
You're ten feet off the ground
When the rhythm bounds and the harmony sounds
And the melody rolls around
Right then in harmony we can be found
Ten feet off the ground

When everybody puts his heart in it
Everybody plays a part in it
That's how music magic is made
Everybody's toes are tappier
Everybody's feeling happier
Lighter than air
Out of this chair
Ten feet off the ground

Yes, everybody puts his heart in it
Everybody plays a part in it
That's how music magic is made
Everybody's toes are tappier
Everybody's feeling happier
Lighter than air
Out of this chair
Loping along on a magical sound
Out of this world and upward bound
Ten feet of the ground
Oh, Yeah!

My Martian Man
Composer(s): Lynsey de Paul
Originally performed by: Lynsey de Paul
Covered by: Mice; Julianne Regan



As I was lying on my pillow last night
I saw the strangest sight
A green machine with flashing lights
And as I stared and wondered
What it could be for
Hoping to see more
A Martian came right through my door
"Where have I landed?
My ship is stranded"

Martian Man, take my hand
We are a part of whatever the stars planned
Let's stick together, whatever they say

And he explained the Earth was no place
No atmosphere, and I could not live there
We both were made with different spheres
And anyway the green man
Couldn't mix with white
And Mars wasn't right
He disappeared into the night
"Where have I landed?
My ship is stranded"

Martian Man, take my hand
We are a part of whatever the stars planned
Let's stick together, whatever they say

Someday, but look at today (?)
We've only this one
End of the sun
And we'll understand
We will understand, understand

Martian Man, take my hand
We are a part of whatever the planned
Let's stick together, whatever they say

Someday...

Granada (Spanish Version)
Composer(s): Dorothy Dodd; Agustín Lara
Performer(s): Mario Lanza;
and various other artists



Granada, tierra soñada por mi
mi cantar se vuelve gitano cuando es para ti
mi cantar hecho de fantasía
mi cantar flor de melancolía
que yo te vengo a dar

Granada, tierra ensangrentada
en tardes de toros
Mujer que conserva el embrujo
de los ojos moros
Te sueño rebelde y gitana
cubierta de flores
y beso tu boca de grana
jugosa manzana
que me habla de amores

Granada, manola cantada
en coplas preciosas
No tengo otra cosa que darte
que un ramo de rosas
De rosas de suave fragancia
que le dieran marco a la virgen morena
Granada, tu tierra está llena
de lindas mujeres
de sangre y de sol

Ten Feet Away
Composer(s): Billy Sherrill - Max D. Barnes - Troy Seals
Performer(s): Keith Whitley; Diamond Rio



Alone at a corner table
She was watching me watching her
I was singin' about an old flame burning
She was hanging on to every word

I was pouring out my feelings
She was pouring out the wine
Through the smoke and the beer
It was perfectly clear
That we were touching each others minds

It was love ten feet away
Imagine her in my arms, with that look on her face
Lying somewhere in some shadowy place
It was love just ten feet away

I just knew my closing song would do it
I knew that I was heaven bound
I could tell she was moved, but before I was through
This stranger walked up and set down

He was trying his best to impress her
But she never took her eyes off me
When he got up and left, I said to myself...
Woh-o-woh what a night this will be

It was love ten feet away
Imagine her in my arms, with that look on her face
Lying somewhere in some shadowy place
It was love just ten feet away

It was love ten feet away
Imagine her in my arms, with that look on her face
Lying somewhere in some shadowy place
It was love just ten feet away

My Maria
Composer(s): Daniel Moore; B.W. Stevenson
Originally performed by: B.W. Stevenson



My Maria don't you know I've come a long long way 
I been longin' to see her 
When she's around she takes my blues away 
Sweet Maria the sunlight surely hurts my eyes 
I'm a lonely dreamer on a highway in the skies 

Maria Maria I love you 

My Maria there were some blue and sorrowed times 
Just my thoughts about you bring back my peace of mind 
Gypsy lady you're a mircle work for me 
You set my soul free like a ship sailing on the sea
She is the sunlight when skies are grey 
She treats me so right lady take me away 

Maria Maria I love you 
Maria Maria I love you

Granada (English Version)
Composer(s): Dorothy Dodd; Augustín Lara
Performer(s): Frankie Laine;
and various other artists



Granada, I'm falling under your spell
And if you could speak what a fascinating tale you would tell
Of an age the world has long forgotten
Of an age that weaves the silent magic in Granada today

The dawn in the sky greets the day with a sigh for Granada
For she can remember the splendour that once was Granada
It still can be found in the hills all around as I wander along
Entranced by the beauty before me
Entranced by a land full of sunshine and flowers and song
And when day is done and the sun starts to set in Granada
I envy the blush of the snow clad Sierra Nevada
For soon it will welcome the stars
While a thousand guitars play a soft Habanera
Then moonlit Granada will live again
The glory of yesterday romantic and gay

T'en Fais Pas (C'est Le B-a Ba)
Composer(s): P. Breslin - J. Top - S. Perathoner
Performer(s): Nicoletta



Au bord de la route, au bout de ma peine
Résewoir vide mais la lune est pleine
C'est la série noire, le pied au plancher
La nuit va-t-elle porter conseil?

Que des massifs à perte de vue
Ça commence à sentir le quartier de la glu
Pas si facile, le B-a Ba blesse
Attention au changement de vitesse

T'en fais pas 
Ça, c'est le B-a Ba
T'en fais pas 
Il y a des hauts et des bas

Parfois c'est là
Et puis ça s'en va
C'est le B-a Ba
Mais ça reviendra

Tu lances les dés, tu joues à pile ou face
Tu bois la tasse mais, quoique tu fasses
T'en fais pas, t'en fais pas

J'ai vu des soirées à quatre étoiles
On parle pognon et on lit Stendahl
Comme l'a dit Shakespeare, le monde est une scène
Et on est jamais mieux servi que par soi-même

T'en fais pas 
Ca, c'est le B-a Ba
T'en fais pas 
Il y a des hauts et des bas

Parfois c'est là
Et puis ça s'en va
C'est le B-a Ba
Mais ça reviendra

Tu lances les dés, tu joues à pile ou face
Tu bois la tasse mais, quoique tu fasses
T'en fais pas, t'en fais pas...

My Margarita (El Charro)
Composer(s): Maria Grever; Walter Hirsh



My Margarita, I'm so romantic, but Margarita
You drive me frantic
My Margarita
You could be tender, but Senorita
You won't surrender
On my guitar oh so lightly
I play nightly when the moon begins to shine
Though ev'ry star up above you knows I love you
I can never make you mine
Oh Margarita
When stars are fading, beneath your window
I'm serenading
My Margarita life could be sweeter
If I could read in your glances where romance is
When it dances
But whenever we're together
You're as fickle as the weather when you kiss and run away

Graine D'Ananar
Composer(s): Léo Ferré
Performer(s): Léo Ferré; Catherine Sauvage



La vie m'a doublé
C'est pas régulier
Pour un pauv' lézard
Qui vit par hasard
Dans la société
Mais la société
Faut pas s'en mêler
J'suis un type à part
Un' grain' d'ananar

On m'dit qu'j'ai poussé
En d'ssous d'un gibet
Où mon grand-papa
Balançait déjà
Avec un collier
Un collier tressé
De chanvre il était
Un foutu foulard
A gueul' d'ananar

J'avais des copains
Qui mangeaient mon pain
Car le pain c'est fait
Pour êtr' partagé
Dans notr' société
C'est pas moi qui l'dis
Mais c'est Jésus-Christ
Un foutu bavard
A gueul' d'ananar

Si j'avais des sous
On m'd'manderait: ""Où
Les as-tu gagnés
Sans avoir trimé
Pour la société?"
Mais comm' j'en ai pas
Faut lui dir' pourquoi
C'est jamais peinard
La grain' d'ananar

On m'dit qu'c'est fini
J'vous l'dit comme on l'dit
Et qu'on me pendra
Au nom de la loi
Et d'la société
D'la bell' société
Qui s'met à s'mêler
De mettre au rancart
La grain' d'ananar

Potence d'oubli
L'oiseau fait son nid
Messieurs les corbeaux
Passeront ma peau
Comme à l'étamis
Mais auparavant
J'aurai comm' le vent
Semé quelque part
Ma grain' d'ananar

Ten Cents A Dance
Composer(s): Lorenz Hart - Richard Rodgers
First performance: Ruth Etting - 1930
Covered by multiple other artists



Ten cents a dance, that's what they pay me
Gosh, how they weigh me down
Ten cents a dance, pansies and rough guys
Tough guys who tear my gown

Seven to midnight I hear drums
Loudly the saxophone blows
Trumpets are tearing my eardrums
Customers crush my toes

Sometimes I think I've found my hero
But it's a queer romance
All that you need is a ticket
Come on, big boy, ten cents a dance! 

My Man Jumped Salty On Me 
Composer(s): Perry Bradford
Performer(s): Rosetta Crawford;
Mezz Mezzrow; George Wettling



Goin' down to the river, take a rope and a rock
Tie it round my neck and jump off the dock
'Cause my man he jumped salty on me

Ain't no one can change my mind
I've been mistreated and I don't mind dyin'
'Cause that man jumped salty on me

Gonna get me some poison, kill myself
'Cause the man I love has put me on the shelf
The dirty old viper jumped salty on me
If he didn't want me he didn't have to lie
The day I see him, that's the day he'll die
'Cause that man jumped salty on me

Baby you don't know my mind
Lord, Lord, Lord, Baby you don't know my mind
When you see me laughin', I'm laughin' just to keep from cryin'

A crooked man's worse than crooked dice
With dice you lose your money, with men you lose your life
Oh that fool jumped salty on me
I'm gonna get me a razor and a gun
Cut him if he stands still, shoot him if he runs
'Cause that man jumped salty on me
