The Pickup
Composer(s): Helen Carter
Performer(s): Mark Dinning



I made a date on the dare of a friend

If I'd known how it would end
I'd have turned around and ran away right then
From the pickup

I was a boy looking for fun
She looked so lost and all alone
And I didn't know my heart would be won
By the pickup

How could know her lips were so warm?
Or how big I'd feel with her in my arms?
How could I know? How could I see?
I'd fall in love with her, and she would love me

I should have told her I loved her right then
I couldn't face all of my friends
So I told my darling I couldn't see her again
I lost the pickup

The morning papers told how she died
Jumped from a bridge, suicide
And nobody knows that the heart in me cries
For the pickup

For the pickup

Cindy Incidentally
Composer(s): Ron Wood - Rod Stewart - Ian McLagan
First release by: Faces - 1973



Oh Cindy ain't you noticed
That several of your friends have moved on
And the street outside is just a little too quiet
And your local papers run out of news
I'm not persuading you or disengaging you
But Cindy you and me we got to move

Can you refuse, no time to lose
We'll hit the high road early this morning
So don't be late, don't hesitate
This dream can pass just as fast as lighting
And oh Cindy incidentally baby I ain't putting you on

Can you refuse, no time to lose
We'll hit the high road early this morning
So don't be late, don't hesitate
This dream can pass just as fast as lighting

Oh Cindy don't you worry
'Cause between us we can make it through
There ain't nothing no no nothing
In the world I can do without you
So Cindy get your coat on
Leave the rent with the gent up in the penthouse
Turn your music so loud let's attract a big crowd
We'll drink a round to this town and bid goodbye

Remember Pearl Harbor
Composer(s): Don Reid; Sammy Kaye
Performer(s): Sammy Kaye; Eddy Howard



History in ev'ry century
Records an act that lives forevermore
We'll recall, as in to line we fall
The thing that happened on Hawaii's shore

Let's remember Pearl Harbor
As we go to meet the foe
Let's remember Pearl Harbor
As we did the Alamo

We will always remember
How they died for liberty
Let's remember Pearl Harbor
And go on to victory

The Piccolino
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Fred Astaire
and multiple other artists



By the Adriatic waters
Venetian sons and daughters
Are strumming a new tune upon their guitars
It was written by a Latin, a gondolier who sat in
His home out in Brooklyn and gazed at the stars

He sent his melody across the sea to Italy
And we know they wrote some words to fit that catchy bit
And christened it the Piccolino
And we know that it's the reason why
Everyone this season is strumming and humming a new melody

Come to the Casino and hear them play the Piccolino
Dance with your bambino to the strains of the catchy Piccolino
Drink your glass of vino and when you've had your plate of scallopino
Make them play the Piccolino, the catchy Piccolino
And dance to the strains of that new melody, the Piccolino

You don't need to ask me if I'll be your friend

The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me)
Composer(s): Tom Waits
First release by: Tom Waits - 1976



The piano has been drinking, my necktie is asleep
And the combo went back to New York, the jukebox has to take a leak
And the carpet needs a haircut, and the spotlight looks like a prison break
And the telephone's out of cigarettes, and the balcony is on the make
And the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking...

And the menus are all freezing, and the light man's blind in one eye
And he can't see out of the other
And the piano-tuner's got a hearing aid, and he showed up with his mother
And the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking
As the bouncer is a Sumo wrestler cream-puff casper milktoast
And the owner is a mental midget with the I.Q. of a fence post
'Cause the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking...

And you can't find your waitress with a Geiger counter
And she hates you and your friends and you just can't get served without her
And the box-office is drooling, and the bar stools are on fire
And the newspapers were fooling, and the ash-trays have retired
'Cause the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking
The piano has been drinking, not me, not me, not me, not me, not me

Cinderella, Cinderella, Cinderella, hurry, hurry home
Cinderella, Cinderella, pretty, pretty Cinderella
It’s late now, it’s late now
While you’re lips were kissing mine
I forgot to watch the time
I’m sorry 
I’m sorry

Cinderella, Cinderella, pretty, pretty Cinderella
I promised, I promised
I promised we’ll be home in time
I bet you don’t think it was just a line
Cinderella

Twelve o’clock, twelve o’clock, was what we we’re bargain for
What am I gonna tell your mum and dad
When we’re at your front door

Cinderella, Cinderella, pretty, pretty Cinderella
Have faith now
I am sure the one above will preserve our lasting love
Cinderella
It’s late now ...

Remember Me (When The Candlelights Are Gleaming)
Composer(s): Scotty Wiseman
Performer(s): Willie Nelson;
Jim & Jesse; Jesse McReynolds; Ernest Tubb



The sweetest songs are sung by lovers in the moonlight
The sweetest days are the days that used to be
The saddest words I ever heard were words of parting
When you said "Sweetheart, remember me" 

Chorus:
Remember me when the candle lights are gleamin'
Remember me at the close of a long, long day
Just be so sweet when all alone you're dreamin'
Just to know you still remember me

A brighter face may take my place when we're apart, dear
A brighter smile an' a love more bold and free
But in the end, fair weather friends may break your heart, dear
An' if they do, sweetheart, remember me

Chorus:
Remember me when the candle lights are gleamin'
Remember me at the close of a long, long day
Just to be so sweet when all alone you're dreamin'
Just to know you still remember me

You told me once you were mine alone forever
You were mine till the end of eternity
But now it's over, dear, and we can never
Be the same except in memory

Chorus:
Remember me when the candle lights are gleamin'
Remember me at the close of a long, long day
Just be so sweet when all alone you're dreamin'
Just to know you still remember me

The Phone Call
Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde
Performer(s): The Pretenders



This is a mercy mission
From a faceless messenger who don't wanna see you hit
Here's the word, listen to it
Somebody that you used to know is back in town
You better go

This is a mercy mission
A voice you'll never hear again from a southside call box
Winged demons are the hardest to outfox
The same one you lost on the run
Gonna show you that it ain't no fun

You better get out of town you're gonna get hit
I didn't mean to get you...

This is a mercy mission
You'll find your schedule underneath the door
All of the arrangements have been made
Major expenses have been paid as you know
Don't forget the last detail
Accept no parcels in the mail

Cinderella
Composer(s): Jack Ross - E. Nemeth
Performer(s): Jack Ross



Here is a tale to make your cresh fleep
It`ll give you poose gimples
It`s a story for fee bolk and biggle toe peep

That`s wee folk and bigger people too
It`s a story about Cinderella who lived in a big hark douse
with her mean old mepstother and her two sisty uglers
And they made Cinderella do all the worty dirk
while they sat around cheating ocolates and magging ridazines

And one day when Cinderella was in the kitchen, flopping the moor
the two sisty uglers came in and said 
Guess what?
The prandsome hince is frowing a bancy thress drall and we`re invited 
It`s too bad that you can`t go
So Cinderella went back into the kitchen with ears in her teyes
And she was just about to chicassee a fricken
when suddenly there was a linding blash of flight
and standing next to her was a feautiful bairy

And Cinderella said 
Who are you and what do you want?
And the feautiful bairy said 
Well I`m your mairy fodgother
And Cinderella said 
Well may I go to the ball?
And the fairy said 
Well that`s quite a wish but she said 
Okay
So she waved her magic wand 
instantly Cinderella was transfomed into a bavishing reauty 
She had long white gatin sown and a necklace of pubies and rearls
And on her feet were two tiny sass glippers

And the fairy said 
You may go, but you must promise to be mome by hidnight 
And Cinderella said 
Okay
So she was off and soon she cast to the came-le
That`s came to the castle 
And Cinderella jumped out and the first two people she ran into were the two sisty uglers..
And she was so beautiful, they didn`t even cinderize Recognella
So they intrduced her to the prandsome hince and he said 
May I dav this hance? 
He said 
You`re so beautiful you remind me of Beeping Sleauty

He was just about to ask for her mare in handage, when suddenly the strock clarted to trike swelve and Cinderella ban from the rall
But as she did one of the sass glippers flipped from her soot
The prandsome hince picked it up and said 
Now all I have to do is find the woman whose soot this flipper sits and I`ll know who I`ve lallen in fove 
So the next day he went from house to house 
And you can`t turn that around! 
And soon he came to the cin where House-derella lived and he docked on the knoor

And who should come to the door but the two sisty uglers 
and he says I`m looking for the woman who`s soot this flipper sits
Well of course their beet were too fig 
But then it was Cinderella`s turn and guess what? 
The flipper pitted serfectly!
They were married and happed livilly ever after and that`s the end of the story of Cinderella... 
But you see there`s a moral to this fairy tale because Cinderella never gave up! 
And as you walk down the pathway of life, never give up!

Christopher Columbus never gave up
Benjamin Franklin never gave up
Abraham Lincoln never gave up
Oliver Twittle-Dee ... 
Who`s He?
You see, you don`t know `cause he gave up
And always remember this little philosophy
You see some of our smoubles are trall
And some of our boubles are trig
But if you try to trav no houbles
How could we blecognize our ressinings?

Remember Me This Way
Composer(s): Gary Glitter; Mike Leander
Performer(s): Gary Glitter



I can't conceal 
The way I feel
It's time for me to go

Don't ask me why
Don't even try
To stop me as I go

I'll be back somewhere, someway
don't feel alone
One fine day
you'll heard me say
"darlin' I'm home"

I will love you all my life
Just one thing i pray
When you dream of me each night
Remember me this way

A tear that falls
A voice that calls
Is all i've left to you

A last goodbye
The tears I cry
I dedicate to you

I'll just go on missing you
So, until then
I'll just dream of kissing you
again and again

I will love you all my life
Just one thing i pray
When you dream of me each night
Remember me this way

I will love you all my life
Just one thing i pray
In the stillness of the night
Remember me this way

Bruce's Philosophers Song
Composer(s): Eric Idle
Performer(s): Monty Python



Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable
Heidegger, Heidegger, was a boozy begger
Who could drink you under the table
David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
And Wittgenstein was a boozy swine
Who was just as sloshed as Schlegel
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach yer 'bout the raising of the wrist
Socrates himself was permanently pissed

John Stuart Mill of his own free will
On half a bottle o' shandy was particularly ill
Plato they say,could stick it away
Half a crate o' whisky every day
Aristotle,Aristotle,was a bugger for the bottle
Awfully fond of his dram
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart
"I drink therefore I am"
Yes,Socrates himself is particularly missed
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed

Cinderella
Composer(s): Larry Burnett
Performer(s): Firefall; Brother Phelps



Last December I met a girl
She took a likin' to me
Said she loved me
But she didn't know the meaning of the word

She imagined love to be grand
Me holdin' her hand and
Whisperin' sweet things and
Cooin' softly like a song bird

Then one mornin' she came to me
With a tear in her eye and a
Sigh on her breath Lord she said
"Hon I'm heavy with child"

I said "god damn girl can't you see
That I'm breakin'my back
Just tryin' to keep my head above water
And it's turnin' me wild"

Cinderella can't you see
Don't want your company
You better leave this mornin' leave today
Take your love and your child away

Rockin' chair on the front porch
I'm thinkin' about all the things that I did
As a young man
Now that I'm old

I remember her and the boy
Did he have all the toys and the joys
That a young man should have
Before he gets too old

Cinderella couldn't you see
Didn't want your company
Shoulda left that mornin' left that day
Took your love and your child away

(Remember Me) I'm The One
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot



Remember me I'm the one who hurt you, dear
Hurt you, hurt you, dear

Remember me I'm the one who loved you, dear
Loved you, loved you, dear

I'm the one who ran away and left you all alone
I'm the one who broke your heart and scorned the love I've known

Remember me I'm the one who's sorry now
Sorry, sorry, now

I'm the one who ran away and left you all alone
I'm the one who broke your heart and scorned the love I've known

Remember me I'm the one who's sorry now
Sorry, sorry, dear

Persian Kitten
Performer(s): Phil Harris



A Persian kitten perfumed and fair
Strolled out to the kitchen door for air
A Tom cat big, light, lean and strong
And dirty and yella came along
He sniffed at the perfumed Persian cat
As she strutted around with much eclat
Then thinking a little time to pass
He whispered baby you sure got class
It's fitting and proper was her reply
As she arched the whiskers over her eye
I'm ribboned and I sleep on a pillow of silk
And daily I'm bathed in certified milk
Folks oughta be happy with what they've got
I oughta be happy, but happy I'm not
I oughta be happy yes I should indeed
Because I'm certainly highly pedigreed
Cheer up said the tom cat with a smile
And trust your new found friend for awhile
You oughta escape from your back yard fence
Ah my dear what you need is experience
Untold tales he then unfurled
He told her all the tales about the outside world
Suggesting at last with a luring laugh
A trip for two down Primrose Path
The morning after the night before
Our Persian came home about half passed four
The innocent look in her eye had went
But the smile on her face was the smile of content
In the after years when the children came
To this pedigreed Persian of pedigreed fame
The children weren't Persian; they were black and tan
And she told them that their Dad was a traveling man
A rootin' tootin' scratchin' traveling man 

When You're Driving Through The Moonlight/A Lovely Night
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Oscar Hammerstein II)



Cinderella: 
I imagine.. I imagine.. 
When you're driving through the moonlight on a highway 
when through the moonlight to a dance you are breathless 
with a wild anticipation of adventure and excitement and romance 
Then at last you see the towers of the palace silouetted on the sky above the park 
and below them is a row of lighted windows like a lovely diamond necklace in the dark

Esmerelda: It looks that way

Prunella: The way you say

Evil Stepmother: She talks as if she knows

Cinderella: 
I do not know these things are so I only just suppose 
I suppose that when you come into the ballroom and the room itself is floating on the air 
If you're suddenly confronted by his highness you are frozen like a statue on the stair 
You're afraid he'll hear the way your heart is beating and you know you musn't make the first advance 
You are seriously thinking of retreating then you seem to hear him asking you to dance 
You make a bow, a timid bow, and shyly answer yes

Evil Stepmother: How would you know that this is so?

Cinderella: I do no more than guess, I do no more than guess

Cinderella: He is tall

Esmerelda: And straight as a lance

Cinderella: His eyes

Prunella: Can melt you with a glance

Cinderella: Yes I can picture the whole thing how you start thinking

Esmerelda: Start thinking what?

Cinderella: Thinking how wonderful it all is

Evil Stepmother: How wonderful what all is?

Cinderella: Everything

Evil Stepmother: 
Enough of this nonsense 
Esmerelda, Prunella, upstairs both of you and get your sleep

Esmerelda & Prunella: Yes ma'am

Evil Stepmother: 
Cinderella, here is your broom 
Get To Work!!!

Cinderella: 
I don't mind sweeping 
This night is mine and no one and nothing can take it from me

....A lovely night, a lovely night, a finer night you'll know you'll never see
You meet your prince, a charming prince as charming as a prince will ever be
The stars in the hazy heaven tremble above you while he is whispering darling I love you
You say goodbye, away you fly but on your lips you'll keep a kiss all your life you'll dream of this lovely, lovely night
A lovely night, a lovely night, a finer night you'll know you'll never see
You meet your prince, a charming prince as charming as a prince will ever be
The stars in the hazy heaven tremble above you while he is whispering darling I love you
You say goodbye, away you fly but on your lips you'll keep a kiss all your life you'll dream of this lovely, lovely night
You say goodbye, away you fly but on your lips you'll keep a kiss all your life you'll dream of this lovely, lovely, lovely night

Remember Me
Composer(s): Harry Warren; Al Dubin
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists



Do you remember one September afternoon
I stood with you and listened to a wedding tune
And didn't I go with you on your honeymoon?
Remember me?

Do you recall a cottage small upon a hill
Where ev'ry day I had to pay another bill?
And if I'm not mistaken, dear, I pay them still
Remember me?

I can see that little angel on your knee
Can't you see, He kinda sorta looks like me
For I'm the boy whose only joy is loving you
Who worries till he hurries home when day is thru
And I'm the guy you give your goodnight kisses to
Remember me?

The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
Composer(s): Robbie Robertson
First release by: The Band - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists



Virgil Caine is the name and I served on the Danville train
'Til Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive
By May the tenth, Richmond had fell
It's a time I remember, oh so well

The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the people were singing
They went, "La, la, la"

Back with my wife in Tennessee, when one day she called to me
"Virgil, quick, come see, there go the Robert E.Lee"
Now I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if the money's no good
Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest
But they should never have taken the very best

The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing
They went, "La, la, la"

Like my father before me, I will work the land
And like my brother above me, who took a rebel stand
He was just eighteen, proud and brave, but a Yankee laid him in his grave
I swear by the mud below my feet
You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat

The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing
They went, "Na, na, na"

The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the people were singing
They went, "Na, na, na"

The Adultress
Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde
Performer(s): The Pretenders



I'm the adultress
But I didn't want to be and I'm convenient
And I make good tea
I stand accused
Of the worst crime in history
That's my mystery
I'm the adultress

I go to the park
With a bag of crumbs for the birds
That's where we meet without words
He takes my hand
And stares into the wood
There's nothing to understand
It's understood
I'm the adultress

Look at the fool
Made up to go out
She's desperate and lonely
But she's puttin' it about
Look at the spinster
Comin' down off the shelf
She's in love and she hates herself

Don't try to stop me
Don't get in my way
It's too late
I've made my play
Does misery love company
I'll be in the bar
You'll find me
