    The Diplomat
    Composer(s): Roger Bowling
    Performer(s): Johnny Cash



    He slowly raised the trembling hand
    Gently brushed the silver strand of hair from his wrinkled brow
    Lips that used to talk so free
    The eyes that used to beckon me were silent now
    He listens to a passin' train
    Gives into an old familiar pain, familiar pain

    They retired him twenty years ago gave him a watch made of gold and took his train

    His woman's name was Margaret
    He loved her but she went away and left his heart undone
    He called this train the Diplomat
    She's the only other lady that he ever loved

    Some forty years he made the steam
    From Memphis down to New Orleans but now he's off the line
    And the closest that he ever gets
    To Margaret or the Diplomat is in his mind

    He said take me to the station the Diplomat is bringing Margaret home
    Can't you hear that whistle blowing they both know I've been alone for much too long
    Let's not keep 'em waitin' we'll talk about the good times later on
    Right now take me to the station the Diplomat is bringing Margaret home

    They say he talks crazy when
    He sees the passin' train or when he hears Margaret's name
    But the only things he ever loved
    He lost before he loved enough, he's not to blame

    So who's to say he's right or wrong
    Reachin' out and hangin' on
    To dreams he can't let go
    He threw the watch of gold away but keeps tracks of memories where he belongs

    He said take me to the station the Diplomat is bringing Margaret home
    Can't you hear that whistle blowing they both know I've been alone for much too long
    Let's not keep 'em waitin' we'll talk about the good times later on
    Right now take me to the station the Diplomat is bringing Margaret home

    They retired him twenty years ago gave him a watch made of gold
    And took daddy's train

    Carrie-Ann Composer(s): Allan Clarke - Tony Hicks - Graham Nash First release by: The Hollies - 1967



    Hey, Carrie-Anne Hey, Carrie-Anne When we were at school, our games were simple I played a janitor, you played a monitor Then you played with older boys and prefects What's the attraction in what they're doing? Hey, Carrie-Anne, what's your game now? Can anybody play? Hey, Carrie-Anne, what's your game now? Can anybody play? You were always something special to me quite independent, never caring You lost your charm as you were aging Where is your magic disappearing? You're so, so like a woman to me (so lke a woman to me) So, so like a woman to me (like a woman to me) People live and learn but you're still learning You use my mind and I'll be your teacher When the lesson's over, you'll be with me Then I'll hear the other people saying Carrie-Anne, Carrie-Anne, Carrie-Anne

    Performer(s): Crack The Sky



    She was a true loser
    And he was nothing more
    They met one another
    She showed him her x-rays
    He turned on his flashlight of love
    She showed him her x-rays
    He turned on his flashlight of love
    She loved reading Cosmo
    He liked to wax his van
    They moved in together
    She showed him her x-rays
    He turned on his flashlight of love
    She showed him her x-rays
    He turned on his flashlight of love

    She said it was over
    So he found something new
    They left one another
    She showing her x-rays
    He glowing his flashlight of love
    She showing her x-rays
    He glowing his flashlight of love
    She showing her x-rays
    He glowing his flashlight of love

    The Diet Song
    Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
    Performer(s): Shel Silverstein
    and multiple other artists



    Breakfast, black coffee, one slice of dry toast
    No butter, no jelly, no jam
    Lunch, just some lettuce, two celery stalks
    No booze, no potatoes, no ham
    Dinner, one chicken wing, broiled not fried
    No gravy, no biscuits, no pie
    And this dietin' dietin' dietin' dietin'
    Sure is a rough way to die

    So pass me a carrot stick, peel me a prune
    A glass of skim milk and that`s all
    Turn off the TV, that Big Mac commercial
    It's drivin` me right up the wall
    And I`m thinkin` of french fries, sausage and waffles
    Spaghetti and cookies and cake
    And each night I`m dreamin` of chocolate ice cream
    And I`m starvin` to death when I wake

    Supper, two pieces of cauliflower raw
    Some beefsteak the size of a nail
    One sliced tomato, a small dab of slaw
    I swear I ate better in jail
    Stop eatin' that pizza right under my nose
    Girl, that's the least you can do
    Put down that candy bar while I`m singin'
    I`m starvin' my buns off for you

    You`re fixin' the kids all those creamed mashed potatoes
    But it's bouillon and water for me
    Hey, you got a lock on the refrigerator
    Lord knows where you`re hidin' the key
    While I`m starvin' for food late at night
    I`m starvin' for lovin` from you
    But you say that when I can see my own dick
    You`ll be glad to look at it too

    So pass me a carrot stick, peel me a prune
    A glass of skim milk and that's all
    You and Jane Fonda and old Richard Simmons
    Are drivin` me right up the wall

    Now when I am dead with the insurance paid
    You`ll look down at me and you`ll grin
    You`ll say, "Well, the boy tried and he suffered and died
    But don`t he look good when he`s thin", oh my

    This dietin' dietin' dietin' dietin'
    Sure is a rough way to die

    Carrickfergus
    (Traditional)
    Performer(s): The Dubliners



    I wish I was in Carrickfergus
    Only for nights in Ballygrand
    I would swim over the deepest ocean
    Only for nights in Ballygrand

    But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
    And neither have I the wings to fly
    I wish I had a handsome boatman
    To ferry me over, my love and I

    Now in Killenny it is reported
    On marble stones there as black as ink
    With gold and silver I would support her
    But I'll sing no more now till I get a drink

    'Cause I am drunk today and I'm seldom sober
    A handsome rover from town to town
    Ah but i'm sick now my days are numbered
    Come all you young men and lay me down

    Flash, Bang, Wallop!
    Composer(s): David Heneker
    Performer(s): Tommy Steele; Sammy Davis Jr.



    (Smile please, all smile. You too, Sir)
    (I am smiling)

    All lined up in a wedding group
    'Ere we are for a photograph
    We're all dressed up in a morning suit
    All trying hard not to laugh
    Since the early caveman in his fur
    Took a trip to Gretna Green
    There's always been a photographer
    To record the 'appy scene.....

    'Old it, flash, bang, wallop, what a picture
    What a picture, what a photograph
    Poor old soul, blimey, what a joke
    Hat blown off in a cloud of smoke
    Clap 'ands, stamp yer feet
    Bangin' on the big bass drum
    What a picture, what a picture
    Um-tiddly-um-pum-um-pum-pum
    Stick it in your fam'ly album

    (Thanks very much, one more picture. Hold it!)

    The same thing 'appened long ago
    When man was in his prime
    And what went on we only know
    From the snaps he took at the time
    When Adam and Eve in their birthday suit
    Decided to get wed
    As Adam was about to taste the fruit
    The man with the cam'ra said.....

    'Old it, flash, bang, wallop, what a picture
    What a picture, what a photograph
    Poor old Eve, there with nothing on
    Face all red and 'er fig leaf gone
    Clap 'ands, stamp yer feet
    Bangin' on the big bass drum, W-e-e-a-ay!
    What a picture, what a picture
    Um-tiddly-um-pum-um-pum-pum
    Stick it in your fam'ly album

    (Thanks very much. One more picture, hold it!)

    You've read it in a folio
    Or seen it in a Shakespeare play
    How Juliet fell for Romeo
    In the merry month of May
    And as 'e climbed the orchard wall
    To reach 'is lady fair
    As he tumbled, she began to bawl
    As he floated through the air.....

    'Old it, flash, bang, wallop, what a picture
    What a picture, what a photograph
    Poor young chap, what a night 'e spent
    Tights all torn and 'is rapier bent
    Clap 'ands, stamp yer feet
    Bangin' on the big bass drum, W-e-e-a-ay!
    What a picture, what apicture
    Um-tiddly-um-pum-um-pum-pum
    Stick it in your fam'ly album

    (One more picture, hold it!)

    King 'Enry the Eighth had several wives
    Including Anne Boleyn
    And he kept an album of their lives
    With all their photos in
    As Anne Boleyn was on her knees
    Dressed in her very best frock
    King 'Enry shouted, "Smile, Dear, please"
    As 'er 'ead rolled off the block.....

    'Old it, flash, bang, wallop, what a picture
    What a picture, what a photograph
    Comes the print in a little while
    Lost 'er 'ead, but she kept 'er smile
    Clap 'ands, stamp yer feet, Ye-e-a-y!
    Bangin' on the big bass drum
    What a picture, what a picture
    Um-tiddly-um-pum-um-pum-pum
    Stick it in your fam'ly album

    (Thank you very much. One more picture, hold it!)

    When Napoleon married Josephine
    There was just the same to-do
    He galloped home from the battle scene
    All the way from Waterloo
    And as he came from orf 'is 'orse
    To the boudoir where she sat
    She said to 'im, in French of course
    As he took of his big cocked 'at

    'Old it, flash, bang, wallop, what a picture
    What a picture, what a photograph
    There she was, with a big Hussar
    All caught up in 'er oh-la-la
    Clap 'ands, stamp yer feet, Ye-e-a-y!
    Bangin' on the big bass drum
    What a picture, what a picture
    Um-tiddly-um-pum-um-pum-pum
    Stick it in your fam'ly album

    Stick it in your fam'ly
    Stick it in your fam'ly
    In your fam'ly album!

    Performer(s): Dick Van Dyke



    So you think that you've got troubles?
    Well, trouble's a bubble
    So tell old Mr. Trouble to "Get lost!"

    Why not hold your head up high and
    Stop cryin', start tryin'
    And don't forget to keep your fingers crossed

    When you find the joy of livin'
    Is lovin' and givin'
    You'll be there when the winning dice are tossed

    A smile is just a frown that's turned upside down
    So smile, and that frown will defrost
    And don't forget to keep your fingers crossed!

    Caribbean Amphibian
    Composer(s): Mark Salzman
    Performer(s): Sesame Street



    I know a tropical island
    Where the mango moon and banana sun shine
    and on this tropical island
    there lives a cousin of mine

    Sometimes he lives in the water
    sometimes he lives on the land
    sometimes he likes to go sun himself
    on soft caribbean sand

    He's a caribbean amphibian
    He likes to hop in the tropical sea
    Caribbean amphibian
    a frog in a coconut tree

    The flying fish and the turtles
    they've seen him hop where the pineapple grows
    he likes to see all the islands
    so island hopping he goes

    Sometimes he hops to Jamaica
    sometimes to Haiti he hops
    sometimes a warm Peurto Rico beach
    is where he finally stops

    He's a caribbean amphibian
    He likes to hop in the tropical sea
    Caribbean amphibian
    a frog in a coconut tree

    Sometimes he lives in the water
    sometimes he lives on the land
    sometimes he likes to play music
    in an all amphibian band

    He's a caribbean amphibian
    He likes to hop in the tropical sea
    Caribbean amphibian
    a frog in a coconut tree

    Flash - Ah - Saviour of the universe
    Flash - Ah - He'll save ev'ry one of us
    Seemingly there is no reason for these
    Extraordinary intergalactical upsets (ha ha ha)
    What's happening Flash?
    Only Dr Hans Zarkov formerly at N A S A
    Has provided any explanation
    Flash - Ah - He's a miracle
    This mornings unprecedented solar eclipse
    Is no cause for alarm
    Flash - Ah - King of the impossible
    He's for ev'ry one of us
    Stand for ev'ry one of us
    He'll save with a mighty hand
    Ev'ry man ev'ry woman ev'ry child
    With a mighty Flash
    General Kaka Flash Gordon approaching
    What do you mean Flash Gordon approaching?
    Open fire all weapons
    Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body

    Flash - Ah
    Gordon's alive
    Flash - Ah - He'll save ev'ry one of us
    Just a man with a man's courage
    He knows nothing but a man
    But he can never fail
    No one but the pure in heart
    May find the golden grail oh oh oh oh
    Flash Flash I love you
    But we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth

    (Ah, ah, ah, ah)

    How I'd like to look into that little book
    The one that has the lock and key
    And know the boy that you care for
    The boy who's in your diary

    When it's late at night what is the name you write?
    Oh, what I'd give if I could see
    Am I the boy that you care for?
    The boy who's in your diary

    Do you recall and make note of all
    The little things I say and do?
    The name you underline, I'm hoping that it's mine
    Darling, I'm so in love with you-oo

    Please don't leave me blue, make all my dreams come true
    You know how much you mean to me
    Say I'm the boy that you care for

    Carpet Man Composer(s): Jimmy Webb Performer(s): The 5th Dimension and multiple other artists



    When you see some puddles on the ground
    You lay down so she don't have to walk around
    You think that will protect her from the rain
    But you'll never ever stop the pain
    She walks all over you
    You know she can, she knows she can
    You're a carpet man, you're a carpet man

    You take such care to keep that girl's feet clean
    Like she's some kind of figurine
    The world's so far below her it's not her scene
    And so she uses you to stand between
    She walks all over you
    You know she can, she knows she can
    You're a carpet man, you're a carpet man

    I would think you'd get tired of hurtin'
    Every now and then
    It's no good down there that's for certain
    And carpets do get thin
    And that's when they have to be thrown away
    That's what she'll say to herself some sunny day
    And she'll say come to my wedding and of course you do
    And then the groom and her will have a dance on you
    She walks all over you
    You know she can, she knows she can
    You're a carpet man, you're a carpet man

    Un soir qu'à l'improviste chtac
    Je frappe à ma porte toc toc

    Sans réponse je pousse le loqu
    Et j'écoute gémir le hamac
    Grincer les ressorts du paddock
    J'avance dans le block
    Out et mon kodak
    Impressionne sur les plaques
    Sensibles de mon cerveau une vision de claque
    Je sens mon rythme cardiaque
    Qui passe brusquement à mach
    Deux tic tac tic tac tic tac tic tac
    Comme sous un électrochoc
    Elle était entre deux macaques
    Du genre festival à Woodstock
    Et semblait une guitare rock
    À deux jacks
    L'un à son trou d'obus l'autre à son trou de balle
    Crac

    Eh doc...
    Qui moi paranoïaque?
    Demandez donc un peu au vioque
    Qui est portier de nuit au Rox
    Y Hôtel si je débloque

    C'est là à jamais sur le bloc
    Notes de ma mémoire black
    Sur white et quoique
    Je fasse ça me reviendra en flash back

    and multiple other artists



    The faces in the photograph have faded
    And I can't believe he looks so much like me
    For it's been ten years today
    Since I left for Old Cork Station
    Sayin' I won't be back till the drovin's done

    For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
    And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
    For the years have surely gone
    Like the drays from Old Cork Sta-ation
    And I won't be back till the drovin's done

    Well it seems like the sun comes up each mornin'
    Sets me up and takes it all away
    For the dreaming by the light
    Of the camp fire at ni-ight
    Ends with the burning by the day

    For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
    And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
    For the years have surely gone
    Like the drays from Old Cork Sta-ation
    And I won't be back till the drovin's done

    Sometimes I think I'll settle back in Sydney
    But it's been so long it's hard to change my mind
    For the cattle trail goes on and on
    And the fences roll forever
    And I won't be back till the drovin's done

    For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
    And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
    For the years have surely gone
    Like the drays from Old Cork Sta-ation
    And I won't be back till the drovin's done

    For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
    And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
    For the years have surely gone
    Like the drays from Old Cork Station
    And I won't be back till the drovin's done

    Carousel Composer(s): James - Ray Thomas Performer(s): Ray Thomas



    The world's like a big carousel
    turning in space with the whole human race hanging on
    but the sounds that are played on that penny arcade
    turn me on

    Then I need a little romance
    if you play me that song
    then you'll get me to dance
    I can dance
    sing me a slow song and maybe then I'll take a chance

    For there's something in the air
    and it's turning spinning
    seems like I float everywhere

    For there's something in the air
    and it's turning spinning
    seems like I float everywhere

    Oh I need some loving tonight
    someone to hold me and make me feel alright tonight
    and I can't explain why the whole human race
    wants to fight

    For the world is a beautiful place
    so small but it's all that we have to stand on
    you and I
    so won't you join me on my carousel in the sky

    For there's something in the air
    and it's turning spinning
    seems like I float everywhere

    Flamingos Fly
    Composer(s): Van Morrison
    Performer(s): Van Morrison; Sammy Hagar



    Go for a ride
    In the still of the night
    And morning brings forth
    All this wonderful delight
    Couldn't have made it more plain
    When I heard that soft refrain
    And I heard you gently sigh

    Wanna take you where flamingos fly, flamingos fly
    Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
    That's where flamingos fly

    Lie in the dark
    With the sound of the nightingale
    Listen for a lark
    I will tell you a tale
    Breeze is blowin', blowin' outside
    Wanna take that moonlight ride
    When I hear you gently sigh

    Wanna take you where flamingos fly, flamingos fly
    Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
    That's where flamingos fly

    Well we're here and we're waiting
    For that morning light to shine
    And I'm looking at you looking at me looking right back at you
    And I'm anticipating
    Sounds along the way
    Looking at you looking at me looking right back at you, hey

    I'll follow the road
    That will take me, take me right back home
    And carry that load
    Where the deer and the provincial angels roam
    Happiness touches, touches me now
    I know where it came from and how
    When I hear you gently sigh

    Wanna take you where flamingos fly, flamingos fly
    Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
    That's where flamingos fly, flamingos fly
    Way over the rooftops of the houses
    I heard it one time, I heard it one time in a lullaby
    I heard it one time, I heard it one time in a lullaby
    Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere way over the rooftops of the houses
    Heard it one time in a lullaby
    Heard it one time, heard it one time in a lullaby

    The Devil Went Down To Georgia
    Composer(s): Charlie Daniels - Charles Hayward - Tom Crain - Fred Edwards - Taz DiGregorio - James Marshall
    First release by: The Charlie Daniels Band - 1979
    Covered by multiple other artists



    The devil went down to Georgia
    He was looking for a soul to steal
    He was in a bind
    'Cause he was way behind
    And he was willing to make a deal

    When he came upon this young man
    Sawing on a fiddle and plain' it hot
    And the devil jumped
    Up on a hickory stump
    And said boy let me tell you what

    Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy
    But give the devil his due
    I'll bet a fiddle of gold
    Against your soul
    'Cause I think I'm better than you

    The boy said my name's Johnny
    And it might be a sin
    But I'll take your bet
    And you're gonna regret
    'Cause I'm the best there's ever been

    The devil opened up his case
    And he said I'll start this show
    And fire flew from his fingertips
    As he rosined up his bow

    Then he pulled the bow across the strings
    And it made a [sic] evil hiss
    And a band of demons joined in
    And it sounded something like this

    When the devil finished
    Johnny said well you're pretty good old son
    Just sit right in that chair right there
    And let me show you how it's done

    He played Fire on the Mountain
    Run boys, run
    The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
    Chicken in a bread pan picking out dough
    Granny does your dog bite
    No child, no

    The devil bowed his head
    Because he knew that he'd been beat
    And he laid that golden fiddle
    On the ground and Johnny's feet

    Johnny said, Devil just come on back
    If you ever want to try again
    I done told you once you son of a bitch
    I'm the best there's ever been

    And he played Fire on the Mountain
    Run boys, run
    The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
    Chicken in a bread pan picking out dough
    Granny does your dog bite
    No child, no

    Caroline, No
    Composer(s): Tony Asher - Brian Wilson
    First recording/First release by: Brian Wilson - 1966
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Where did your long hair go
    Where is the girl I used to know
    How could you lose that happy glow
    Oh, Caroline no

    Who took that look away
    I remember how you used to say
    You'd never change, but that's not true
    Oh, Caroline you

    Break my heart
    I want to go and cry
    It's so sad to watch a sweet thing die
    Oh, Caroline why

    Could I ever find in you again
    Things that made me love you so much then
    Could we ever bring 'em back once they have gone
    Oh, Caroline no

    Flamingo, like a flame in the sky
    Flying over the island
    To my lover nearby

    Flamingo, with your tropical hue
    For it's you I rely on
    And the love that is true

    The wind sings a song to you as you go
    The song that I hear below
    The murmuring heart

    Flamingo, when the sun meets the sea
    Say farewell to my lover
    And hasten to me

    Aah-ooh, aah-ooh, ooh-ooh
    Flamingo....
    Flamingo....

    Flamingo, when the sun meets the sea
    Say farewell to my lover
    And hasten to me

    Aah-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-aah

    Daisey, where are you growin'?
    Are you sowin' some new seed?
    Daisey, I can feel you growin' on me

    Daisey, beggin' your pardon
    I dig your garden of sunshine
    Daisey, show me how to make you mine

    And if you're willin' to take time, Daisey
    You can show me the way, girl
    'Cause I know if we make time, Daisey

    Aaah aaah aaah

    And if you're willin; to take time, Daisey
    You know you might wanna stay, girl
    'Cause I know if we make time, Daisey
    Every month would be like May

    Daisey, hold on I'm comin'
    No need for thumbin' a new ride
    Daisey
    We can get it on if we try
    We can get it on if we try
    We can get it on if we try...

    Caroline, Caroline Composer(s): Louis Benech - Vincent Scotto Performer(s): André Bourvil; Mireille Ponsard



    Voilà huit heures qui sonnent, c'est dimanche coco
    Déjà l'soleil rayonne à travers les rideaux
    J'ai touché ma quinzaine, si tu le veux tantôt
    Nous irons à Vincennes, dîner au bord de l'eau
    Vite en bas du lit, passe moi mes habits
    Et jetons du jus dans Paris

    Caroline, Caroline, mets tes p'tits souliers vernis
    Ta robe blanche des dimanches
    Et ton grand chapeau fleuri
    Caroline, Caroline, t'arrêt' pas comm' ça en ch'min
    Marche plus vite, ma petite
    Tu vas nous fair' rater l'train

    Installons-nous ma chère sur le bord du talus
    Mets un journal par terre, on va manger là-d'ssus
    Pourquoi qu'tu fais la tête, tu n'as qu'à faire comme moi
    Quand on n'a pas d'fourchettes, on mange avec les doigts
    T'as fini déjà, ah! quel estomac
    Où qu't'as donc fourré tout ça?

    Caroline, Caroline, on a tout d'même bien dîné
    Plus personne, viens mignonne
    C'est l'moment d'aller s'prom'ner
    Caroline, Caroline, les p'tits oiseaux font cui-cui
    Sur la mousse, fraîche et douce
    Moi j'le ferais bien aussi

    Mais là-bas il y a la fête, j'entends l'accordéon
    Prépare tes gambettes, on va faire un boston
    J'cède à tous tes caprices, j'te paie un mirliton
    Un cochon d'pain d'épice, ous' qu'il y a mon nom
    Tu le mangeras
    Quand j'serai pas là
    Ça t'fera penser à moi

    Caroline, Caroline, relév' ta jupe en dansant
    Aie d'l'allure, va en mesure
    On s'croirait chez l'Président
    Caroline, Caroline, qu'est c'qu'ils ont à nous r'garder
    Tu m'fais honte, allons, r'monte
    Ton pantalon qu'est tombé

    C'est pas d'chance, ma poulette, voilà qu'il tombe de l'eau
    Mets ta jupe sur ta tête pour garer ton chapeau
    Moi j'te suis par derrière, ta ch'mise dépasse un peu
    Mais, grâce à ta bannière, j'te perdrai pas des yeux
    Nous v'là arrivés
    C'qu'on est éreinté
    C'est pas trop tôt d'se reposer

    Caroline, Caroline
    Ah! c'qu'on est bien dans son lit
    Tu soupires, tu veux rire
    Ça c'est pas pour aujourd'hui
    Caroline, Caroline, veux-tu bien r'tirer ta main
    Pas d'tapage, si t'es sage
    Ça s'ra pour dimanche prochain
