    The Little Man Who Wasn't There
    Composer(s): Harold Adamson - Bernie Hanighen
    Performer(s): Glenn Miller & Tex Beneke
    and multiple other artists



    Glenn Miller:
    Hello there, Texas, whatcha say?
    Are you whistling in the dark just to scare the ghost away?

    Tex Beneke:
    I know there's something following me that I can't see
    Someone sure laid an awful hex on me!

    Glenn Miller:
    A hex? Ah, Tex, that's pretty far-fetched
    Man, I'd say you're just a little bit tetched!

    Tex Beneke:
    You'd got a load of what I saw last night
    You'd pass the Yankee Clipper on its maiden flight!

    Last night I saw upon the stair
    A little man who wasn't there
    He wasn't there again today
    Oh, how I wish he'd go away

    When I came home last night at three
    The man was waiting there for me
    But when I looked around the hall
    I couldn't see him there at all

    Go away, go away
    Don't you come back any more
    Go away, go away
    And please don't slam the door... (Slam!)

    Last night I saw upon the stair
    A little man who wasn't there
    He wasn't there again today
    Oh, how I wish he'd go away

    Charlie Brown "A Boy Named Charlie Brown"
    Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg



    Un petit garçon comme Charlie
    À qui jamais rien ne réussit
    Ça s'casse la figure
    À tous les coins d'la ville
    Dieu que la vie est dure
    Pour Charlie

    Mais ce petit garçon
    Qu'est Charlie
    Qui n'récolte jamais que des ennuis
    Et qui les prend pourtant
    Avec philosophie
    C'est l'image d'un enfant d'aujourd'hui

    Moi-même j'étais comme Charlie
    Semblable à Charlie Brown
    Je grimpais à la corde de mon cerf-volant
    Afin d'mieux voir le firmament
    Mais voici que la corde casse et Charlie
    Seul dans l'herbe de la prairie
    Encore un peu plus triste que tout à l'heure
    Retient les larmes de Charlie Brown

    Composer(s): Lucio Dalla
    Performer(s): Lucio Dalla



    Chissà chissà domani
    su che cosa metteremo le mani
    se si potrà contare ancora le onde del mare
    e alzare la testa
    non esser così seria, rimani
    i russi, i russi gli americani
    no lacrime non fermarti fino a domani
    sarà stato forse un tuono
    non mi meraviglio
    è una notte di fuoco
    dove sono le tue mani
    nascerà e non avrà paura nostro figlio
    e chissà come sarà lui domani
    su quali strade camminerà
    cosa avrà nelle sue mani.. le sue mani
    si muoverà e potrà volare
    nuoterà su una stella
    come sei bella
    e se è una femmina si chiamerà futura
    Il suo nome detto questa notte
    mette già paura
    sarà diversa bella come una stella
    sarai tu in miniatura
    ma non fermarti voglio ancora baciarti
    chiudi i tuoi occhi non voltarti indietro
    qui tutto il mondo sembra fatto di vetro
    e sta cadendo a pezzi come un vecchio presepio.
    Di più, muoviti più fretta di più, benedetta
    più su, nel silenzio tra le nuvole, più su
    che si arriva alla luna, si la luna
    ma non è bella come te questa luna
    è una sottana americana
    Allora su mettendoci di fianco, più su
    guida tu che sono stanco, più su
    in mezzo ai razzi e a un batticuore, più su
    son sicuro che c'e' il sole
    ma che sole è un cappello di ghiaccio
    questo sole è una catena di ferro
    senza amore, amore, amore, amore
    Lento lento adesso batte più lento
    ciao, come stai
    il tuo cuore lo sento
    i tuoi occhi così belli non li ho visti mai
    ma adesso non voltarti
    voglio ancora guardarti
    non girare la testa
    dove sono le tue mani
    aspettiamo che ritorni la luce
    di sentire una voce
    aspettiamo senza avere paura, domani

    The Little House Upon The Hill
    Composer(s): Ballard MacDonald - Joe Goodwin - Harry Puck



    I feel oh! so lonely tonight
    I feel all alone
    I'm just starving for a sight
    Of my old Kentucky home
    I can see my mother old and gray
    I can hear the whippoor will
    I can see a light for me
    In the window of the house upon the hill

    I've seen many wonderful sights
    Wand'ring on my way
    But I've spent such lonesome nights
    And been weary thru the day
    I'm just longing for a mother's love
    And I know she longs for me
    Can't erase her loving face
    It's the sight of all sights I want to see

    There's a light that's burning in the window
    Of a little house upon the hill
    And the light will burn
    And a heart will yearn
    And it always will till I return
    For there's only one mother
    I know she's waiting still
    And she'll always keep the light a burning
    in the window of the house upon the hill

    Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown
    He's a clown, that Charlie Brown
    He's gonna get caught, just you wait and see

    He's gonna get caught, just you wait and see
    (Why's everybody always pickin' on me?)

    Who's always writing on the wall?
    Who's always goofin' in the hall?
    Who's always throwin' spit balls?
    Guess who! (Who, me?) Yeah, you!

    Who walks in the classroom cool and slow?
    Who calls the English teacher Daddy-O?

    That Little German Band
    Composer(s): Fred Fisher - Joe Goodwin - Joseph McCarthy
    Performer(s): Al Jolson; Groucho Marx



    Beneath my window every morn
    I can hear a great big horn
    Oom pah-pah, oom pah-pah
    In the backyard playing they are
    I give them money when they play
    I give them more to go away
    They all stand in a ring
    They play the same old thing
    And when the leader pulls a string
    They drop their horns and sing

    La, La, La, La, La
    Such a pretty melody
    La, La, La, La, La
    Like the birdies in the tree
    La, La, La, La, La
    Everybody sing with me

    Oh that music is so grand
    From the little German Band
    Toot Toot Toot, Toot Toot Toot
    The bass horn fella is the best
    Now he can almost drown the rest
    They don't play something new
    They blow until they're blue
    And when you think there through
    They'll sing a line or two

    La, La, La, La, La
    Such a pretty melody
    La, La, La, La, La
    Like the birdies in the tree
    La, La, La, La, La
    Everybody sing with us
    La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La La, La

    Charlie & Fred Composer(s): Allan Clarke - Tony Hicks - Graham Nash Performer(s): The Hollies



    He rides on his horse and cart, Charlie does
    working from six until nine
    Collecting old rags and used bicycles
    old iron of description of any kind

    Here comes Charlie, Charlie the Ragman
    Throw out your old clothes for Charlie and Fred
    Earning a living off things we've discarded
    Earning enough for the board and the bed

    You hear him shout "Rags and old iron"
    Everyone knows him that way
    Once a week, they come 'round calling
    How long it's been, I can't say

    They live all alone in a hovel
    He puts his money away
    Taking enough to just live on
    and at the end of the day
    he's saving enough
    to put Fred out to graze

    They live all alone in a hovel
    He puts his money away
    Taking enough to just live on
    and at the end of the day
    he's saving enough
    to put Fred out to graze

    Has anyone seen Charlie lately?
    Charlie just ain't been around
    Everyone's seen Fred is grazing
    chewing the grass from the ground

    Children say Charlie is happy
    giving balloons to the angels instead
    Where is Charlie, Charlie the Ragman?
    Don't throw your clothes out

    Well, go away and leave me all alone and blue
    And never come back to me 'cause I'm through with you
    'Cause baby, now that you have done me wrong it's plain to see
    That you no longer want to bother me
    I'm sick and tired of all your lying and your cheating
    And the way that you have been mistreating me
    And lemme tell you friend that you will never get the chance to break my heart again
    And furthermore
    Yes, furthermore
    And on top of that
    I don't love you anyway

    Well, you told me that you'd always love me, treat me fair
    But lately, baby, seems like you don't even care about me anymore
    You closed the door on me
    And left me blue as I can be
    And I'm not gonna take it anymore
    And be your fool again, like I was before
    'Cause baby this is it, I quit
    You can just forget that we ever met
    And furthermore
    Yes, furthermore
    And in addition to that
    I don't love you anyway

    No, baby (baby)
    I don't love you anyway (love you anyway)
    At least (at least)
    At least that's what I say
    While (all the while)
    All the while, all the while I'm trying to hide (trying to hide)
    Tears, tears, tears
    That I feel deep inside

    So, go away and leave me all alone and blue
    And never come back to me 'cause I'm through with you
    'Cause baby, now that you have done me wrong it's plain to see
    That you no longer want to bother me

    The Little Boy And The Old Man
    Composer(s): Wayne Shanklin
    Performer(s): Frankie Laine & Jimmy Boyd



    Old Man, Old Man is the world really round
    Tell me where in the world can a bluebird be found
    Tell me why is the sky up above so blue
    And when you were a boy did you cry like I do

    What becomes of the sun when it falls in the sea
    And who lights it again so that we can see
    Tell me why can't I fly without wings when I try
    I just can't understand why you're crying old man

    Little boy, little boy yes its true the world is round
    But I never did find where a bluebird is found
    And the sky is so blue just because of love
    May your sky always be like the blue sky above

    And the sun only seems to fall into the sea
    If the sun always shone how could moonlight be
    Little boy you can't fly, you might fall... and I...
    Well good bye little boy, goodbye

    Charlie Composer(s): Trevor Rabin - Patrick Van Blerk Performer(s): Rabbitt



    Loving you is easy
    Such a beautiful thing to do
    And though at times you hurt me
    I buzz each night on you
    Oh! What times we've had together
    What crazy things we've done
    Enough to fill my memory
    And keep me loving Charlie
    Charlie

    As dogs go you're groovy
    Not as predictable as some
    But you're not as paranoid as Lady Marmalade
    And really much more fun

    Hell! At times I get so mad
    When you buzz on someone new
    It's not that you don't love me
    It's not that I'm too selfish to consider sharing Charlie
    Charlie

    You've filled my head with new ideas
    And filled my heart with sun
    So I'd like to take this time right now
    To thank you for what you've done

    You and Lady Marmalade
    Are everything I need
    The two of you and the music
    Deep inside of me

    And watching you sleep
    Side by side
    Makes me breathe
    Gratefully
    I love you Charlie
    Charlie

    Performer(s): Bruce Springsteen; Johnny Cash



    Where the road is dark
    And the seed is sewn
    Where the gun is cocked
    And the bullet's cold
    Where the miles are marked in blood and gold
    I'll meet you further on up the road

    Got on my dead man's suit
    And my smilin' skull ring
    My lucky graveyard boots
    And a song to sing
    I got a song to sing, keep me out of the cold
    And I'll meet you further on up the road

    Further on up the road
    Further on up the road
    Where the way is dark
    And the night is cold
    But one sunny morning we'll rise, I know
    And I'll meet you further on up the road

    Well I been out in the desert
    Was doin' my time
    Searching through the dust
    Looking for a sign
    If there's a light up ahead
    Well, buddy, I don't know
    But I got this fever
    Burning in my soul
    So let's take the good times as they come
    And I'll meet you further on up the road

    Further on up the road
    Further on up the road
    Where the way is dark
    And the night is cold
    One sunny morning we'll rise, I know
    And I'll meet you further on up the road
    One sunny morning we'll rise, I know
    And I'll meet you further on up the road
    Yeah I'll meet you further on up the road

    Composer(s): Henry Mancini - Johnny Mercer
    Performer(s): Henry Mancini & His Orch.



    "Hi dee, hi dee ho"
    (French)
    "Whee, whee"
    Trills the tiny chickadee
    It's my turn now

    "Who, who, who are you?"
    Hoots the wise old owl, too
    "Me, me"
    Sings the sparrow in the tree
    I'll teach you how

    China or Peru, the thing to do
    Is have a picnic every spring
    Where you can listen to the birds
    Who need no words
    To teach you how to sing

    Low, high, high and low
    (French)
    One, two, all together here we go
    It's our turn now

    "Brr, brr, than you sir"
    Goes the scarlet tanager
    "Tweet, tweet"
    Chirps the cheery parakeet
    It's my turn now

    "Hear, hear, lend an ear"
    Sing the linnets loud and clear
    "Hark, hark"
    Look who's singing like a lark
    And he knows how

    This is how we pass
    Our music class
    We learn a little more each day
    (French)
    A language, too
    That's how we speak Anglais

    "Whoo-whoo-broodle-oo"
    Goes the emerald cockatoo
    "Bob white"
    Sounds the partridge in the night
    It's our turn now

    "Hi ho, hi ho hee"
    Goes the tirmouse...
    "Mush, mush"
    Sings the dignified old thrush
    So take your bow

    If we practice well
    Why who can tell
    The opera house we'll occupy
    And if we harmonize just so
    Next thing you know
    We might learn how to fly

    And so off we go
    (French)
    Small birds
    Hum the music and the words
    It's our turn now

    La la la la la la...

    Charley is an ordinary fellow
    To most everyone but FLo, his Flo
    She's convinced that Charley
    Is a very extraordinary beau, some beau
    And everything in the dim light
    She has a way of putting him right

    Charley by boy, oh Charley my boy
    You thrill me, you kill me with shiver of joy
    You've got the kind of, sort of, wonderful ways
    That makes me, takes me, tell me what shall I say?

    When we dance I read in your glance
    Whole pages and ages of love and romance
    They tell me that Romeo was some lover too
    But boy he should have taken lessons from you
    You seem to start where others get through
    Oh Charley, my boy

    Charley, my boy, oh Charley, my boy
    You thrill me, you kill me with shiver of joy
    You've got the kind of, sort of, wonderful ways
    That makes me, takes me, tell me what shall I say?

    When we dance I read in your glance
    Whole pages and ages of love and romance
    They tell me that Romeo was some lover too
    But boy he should have taken lessons from you
    You seem to start where others get through
    Oh Charley, my boy

    And when we dance, I read in your glance
    Just oodles and noodles of love and romance
    I have a millionarie proposing to me
    I think I'll marry him, though he's eighty-three
    Think what wealthy widow I'll be
    Oh Charley, my boy

    Old Beale Street is coming down
    Sweeties' Snack Bar, boarded up now
    And Egles The Tailor and the Shine Boy's gone
    Faded out with ragtime blues
    Handy's cast in bronze
    And he's standing in a little park
    With a trumpet in his hand
    Like he's listening back to the good old bands
    And the click of high heeled shoes
    Old Furry sings the blues
    Propped up in his bed
    With his dentures and his leg removed
    And Ginny's there
    For her kindness and Furry's beer
    She's the old man's angel overseer

    Pawn shops glitter like gold tooth caps
    In the grey decay
    They chew the last few dollars off
    Old Beale Street's carcass
    Carrion and mercy
    Blue and silver sparkling drums
    Cheap guitars, eye shades and guns
    Aimed at the hot blood of being no one
    Down and out in Memphis Tennessee
    Old Furry sings the blues
    You bring him smoke and drink and he'll play for you
    lt's mostly muttering now and sideshow spiel
    But there was one song he played
    I could really feel

    There's a double bill murder at the New Daisy
    The old girl's silent across the street
    She's silent - waiting for the wrecker's beat
    Silent - staring ar her stolen name
    Diamond boys and satin dolls
    Bourbon laughter- ghosts - history falls
    To parking lots and shopping malls
    As they tear down old Beale Street
    Old Furry sings the blues
    He points a bony finger at you and
    "I don't like you"
    Everybody laughs as if it's the old man's standard joke
    But it's true
    We're only welcome for our drink and smoke

    W.C. Handy I'm rich and I'm fay
    And I'm not familiar with what you played
    But I get such strong impressions of your hey day
    Looking up and down old Beale Street
    Ghosts of the darktown society
    Come right out of the bricks at me
    Like it's a Saturday night
    They're in their finery
    Dancing it up and making deals
    Furry sings the blues
    Why should I expect that old guy to give it to me true
    Fallen to hard luck
    And time and other thieves
    While our limo is shining on his shanty street
    Old Furry sings the blues

    The Lion's Share
    Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
    Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg



    Grand slam
    Your moment's at hand
    The day holds a costly bargain
    Lost lamb
    Asking the lion's share
    Homespun
    A prodigal son
    Comes begging a humble pardon
    But no one
    Rises to hear his prayer...
    Lone star
    You've wandered so far
    And long in the unfamiliar
    That now you
    Travel a map unknown
    Starbright
    A constant delight
    To those in the dark
    And still your
    Birthright's
    To shine in the night -- alone
    Living in the shadows
    Of the things that might have been
    Torn between the blessing and the curse
    You may stop the hunger
    But you'll never slake the thirst
    For the nectar you remember
    But you'll never taste again...
    Nonesuch
    Your Midas' touch
    Has gilded your heart
    And left you
    So much
    Playing the prince of clowns
    Hell-bent
    Empty and spent
    Just look what your gamble's got you
    Exile
    Far from the sacred grounds...
    Living in the shadows
    Of the things that might have been
    Torn between the blessing and the curse
    You may stop the hunger
    But you'll never slake the thirst
    For the nectar you remember
    But you'll never taste again
    Grand slam
    Your moment's at hand
    The day holds a costly bargain
    Lost lamb
    Asking the lion's share

    Charleston Des Déménageurs De Piano Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg; Alain Goraguer et son Orch.



    C'est nous les déménageurs de pianos
    Des Steinway, des Pleyel et des Gaveau
    Du tintement des pourboires économiques
    Nous on connaît la musique
    Pour ce qui est du reste ça c'est pas nos oignons
    Artistes, nous on ne l'est pas pour deux ronds
    Quand la musique vous a brisé les reins
    Y a pas de charleston qui tient

    Pour nous prendre aux tripes
    Faut se lever de bonne heure
    Dire qu'il y a des types
    Qui sur c't'engin d'malheur
    Arrivent à faire croire à tous les ballots
    Que la vie c'est comme au piano

    D'l'amour ils en font tout un cinéma
    À les écouter, de vrai, y aurait que ça
    Qu'est-ce qui resterait pour les déménageurs
    Qu'en ont des tonnes sur le cœur
    Il nous resterait qu'à nous noircir sur le zinc
    Mais là encore faut se farcir le bastringue
    Il se trouve toujours parmi nous un tocard
    Pour y glisser ses pourboires

    Pour tous les faire taire
    Y a vraiment qu'une façon
    Les envoyer faire
    Un p'tit tour au charbon
    Sur le piano massacre d'la réalité
    Ils toucheraient du doigt la purée

    C'est nous les déménageurs de pianos
    Des Steinway, des Pleyel et des Gaveau
    Du tintement des pourboires économiques
    Nous on connaît la musique
    Au fond, à quoi qu'ça sert de discuter
    Comme l'a dit l'autre "à chacun son métier"
    Tirer sur l'pianiste c'est pas not' boulot
    Nous on tire sur le piano
    Nous on tire sur le piano

    Funny Little Man
    Composer(s): James Seals; Dash Crofts
    Performer(s): Seals & Crofts



    See the funny little man huffing and puffing and digging the sand
    In his search for something to build, perhaps a church on the side of a hill
    Little does he know that he's working in vain
    When rain comes the hill will come sliding down and will not hold

    See the funny little man, running and hiding and flailing his hands
    Asking himself what could have gone wrong, for he has worked hard the whole day long

    See the funny little man, small in his size when compared to the land
    When will he grow up, can time wait until
    The funny little man can see beyond the hill

    Charleston Alley Composer(s): Horace Henderson - Jon Hendricks - Leroy Kirkland Performer(s): Lambert, Hendricks & Ross and multiple other artists



    On the avenue, you may be havin' you a solid ball, but it ain't no ball at all
    compared to the kicks when you dally in Charleston Alley

    Maybe it don't look so hot, but believe me, it's the spot where you can sure let your hair down
    Everything's right
    And you can boogy all night

    Say, man Charleston Alley is the play, man
    you can rally every cool cat on the avenue
    And they'll say it's true, if you're feelin' blue, this is the place for you

    No goof and that's the truth

    I dig Charleston Alley, and I'm here t' tell ya pally
    It's a place where life is real
    I'm tellin' you I never found a better deal
    We know just how you feel

    Ribs and pigs feet, the tastiest meat that you ever did eat
    And a good piano player- a plinkin' an plunkin' an playin' them blues
    I doubt if you'll ever be gayer

    We know- (Tell us about what you know)
    Where to play- (Tell us about where to go)
    And we'll show- (You don't know what time it takes)
    You the way (Lookin' for what shakes)

    Well let me tell you that if you've come to dally
    Dig this crazy alley
    And we know it's where you're goin' to move
    And this is not an idle boast

    Of all the many crazy alleys that we've went- Hilltop, O'Mally's
    None a' them could quite compare with red hot Charleston Alley
    When you're rockin' and you're rollin' to the rythym of the solid beat
    You're gonna have t' stomp your feet
    And you're sure to hang around
    Wiggin' an' diggin' the sounds

    So dig this vocal travelogue that we're singin' everyone
    'bout that circle by the dark sun
    Charleston Alley is the place to be

    We get our kicks from hicks who hurry and take in the great white way
    We'll pick the Alley any day
    Charleston Alley is the place for me

    Better get up if you're takin' a trip take a tip

    On the avenue, you may be havin' you a solid ball, but it ain't no ball at all
    compared to the kicks you get from Charleston Alley
    If you should make the trip I'm pretty sure you'ld really flip
    So let your cares be, and baby make it down with me... to Charleston Alley
