The Second Time Around
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Jimmy Van Heusen
First performance by: Bing Crosby - 1960
Covered by multiple other artists



Love is lovelier the second time around
Just as wonderful with both feet on the ground
It's that second time you hear your love song sung
Makes you think, perhaps, that love, like youth
is wasted on the young

Love's more comfortable the second time you fall
Like a friendly home, the second time you call
Who can say what brought us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once, and yet
I'm oh so glad we met the second time around

Who can say what brought us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once, and yet
I'm oh so glad we met the second time around

Cocktails For Two
Composer(s): Arthur Johnston - Sam Coslow
Performer(s): Carl Brisson
and multiple other artists



Oh what delight to be given the right
To be carefree and gay once again
No longer slinking, respectably drinking
Like civilized ladies and men
No longer need we miss
A charming scene like this....
In some secluded rendezvous
That overlooks the avenue
With someone sharing a delightful chat
Of this and that, and cocktails for two
As we enjoy a cigarette
To some exquisite chansonnette
Two hands are sure to slyly meet beneath
A serviette, with cocktails for two
My head may go reeling
But my heart will be obedient
With intoxicating kisses
For the principal ingredient
Most any afternoon at five
We'll be so glad we're both alive
Then maybe fortune will complete her plan
That all began with cocktails for two

1963 - En Écoutant La Pluie (Richard Anthony)



Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
telling me just what a fool I’ve been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
and let me be alone again

The only girl I care about has gone away
looking for a brand new start
but little does she know that when she left that day
along with her she took my heart

Rain, please, tell me now, does that seem fair
for her to steal my heart away when she don’t care
I can’t love another when my heart’s somewhere far away

The only girl I care about has gone away
looking for a brand new start
but little does she know that when she left that day
along with her she took my heart

Falling rain
Cry in vain

But, rain, won’t you tell her that I love her so
Please, ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart, and let the love we knew start to grow

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
telling me just what a fool I’ve been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
and let me be alone again

Falling rain
Falling rain
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Falling rain
Listen to the rhythm of the
Listen to the rhythm of the
Cry in vain
Listen to the rhythm of the

The only girl I care about has gone away
looking for a brand new start
but little does she know that when she left that day
along with her she took my heart

The Second Star To The Right
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Sammy Fain
First performance: The Jud Conlon Chorus and The MelloMen - 1953
Covered by multiple other artists



The second star to the right
Shines in the night for you
To tell you that the dreams you plan
Really can come true

The second star to the right
Shines with a light that's rare
And if it's Never Land you need
It's light will lead you there

Twinkle, twinkle little star
So I'll know where you are
Gleaming in the skies above
Lead me to the one who loves me

And when you bring him my way
Each time we say "Goodnight"
We'll thank the little star that shines
The second from the right

Un Cocktail Pour Deux
Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan & Johnny Hallyday



Puisque ce soir tu es fâchée
C'est bien toi qui l'a cherché
Dans l'alcool je veux me noyer
Je veux aussi
Barman! Un cocktail pour moi

Tu n'as pas honte de boire comme ça
Puisque tu bois pourquoi pas moi
Ta tête est plus dure que du bois
Et toi aussi
Barman! Un cocktail pour moi

Ma mère m'avait bien dit
Surtout méfie-toi de ce Johnny

Quand j'ai dit "j'épouse Sylvie"
Mes copains pleuraient
Je n'ai pas compris
Les filles mon dieu quelle invention
Quelle catastrophe pour les garçons
Ça me servira de leçon
À moi aussi
Barman! Un cocktail pour moi

Mais qui c'est celui-là
J'attends Johnny ne restez-pas là

Mais que faites-vous ici
Laissez cette place
Moi j'attends Sylvie

Tiens quelle surprise que fais-tu là
Un hasard je passais par là
On prend un verre pour fêter ça
Tu crois?
Je crois!
Barman! Un cocktail pour deux

Performer(s): Harry Richman
and multiple other artists



Get the beat of people's feet
Walkin' up and down the street
And do the New York

Get the sound, the crash and pound
Of the subway underground
And do the New York

You'll find there's something old and something new
And it's something hot and something blue
And it's seven million people doin' it
All got rhythm

Get the view of stone and steel
Add a little sex appeal
And do the New York

Cockles And Mussels (aka Molly Malone)
Composer(s): James Yorkston; Edmund Forman



In Dublin's fair city
Where girls are so pretty
Twas there that I first met
Sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled her wheelbarrow 
Through streets broad and narrow
Mussels 
Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh
Alive, alive oh, alive, alive oh
Crying
Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh

Now she was a fishmonger
And sure twas no wonder
For so were her mother 
Ad father before
And they each 
Wheeled their barrows
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying
Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh
She died of a fever
And no one could save her
And that was the end
Of sweet Molly Malone
Now her ghost
Wheels her barrow
Through streets 
Broad and narrow
Crying 
Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh

Rhythm Of Romance

Gino Vannelli; Joe Vannelli
Performer(s): Gino Vannelli



Coke machines on the Ho Chi Minh trail
Russian spies shopping at Bloomingdales
Killer bees swarming up the Rio Grande
Hey baby where'd you get that tan
Rome burns as we dance cheek to cheek
Titanic's sinking but oooh do we look chic
New york city's got the Hong Kong flu
And I can't take my eyes off you
Mx GI Joe
Rsvp UFO
Abcia
I still want to know who shot JFK

Let's dance
To the rhythm of romance
Let's swing
'neath the stars above
C'mon let's dance
To the rhythm of romance
Let's kiss
Let's fall in love

Johnny woke up from his American dream
Rich man poor man and a desert in between
Crystal chandeliers hangin' by a thread
We're in the pink baby just two trillon in the red
And I hear Gabriel blowing his saxophone
Through a great big hole in the ozone
Who cares if the sun don't rise
When I look in to your ultraviolet eyes
That's life, this is war
I took it on faith, can't take it anymore
Old, young, yin and yang
We'll all go together in the next big bang
Boom shug a lug a lug a boom

Let's dance
To the rhythm of romance
Let's swing
'neath the stars above
C'mon let's dance
To the rhythm of romance
Let's kiss
Let's fall in love

The Second Arrangement
Performer(s): Steely Dan



Pour out the wine, little girl
I've got just two friends in this whole wide world
Here's to reckless lovers
We all need somebody
Stashed in the yellow Jag
I've got my life and laundry in a Gladstone bag
You should know the program
Just one red rose and a tender goodbye
[One last goodbye]

And I run to the second arrangement
It's only the natural thing
Who steps out with no regrets
A sparkling conscience
A new address
When I run to the second arrangement
The home of a mutual friend
Now's the time to redefine the first arrangement again

It's a sticky situation
A serious affair
I must explain it to you somehow
Right now I'll just move back one square

Here comes that noise again
Another scrambled message from my last best friend
Something I can dance to
A song with tears in it
Old friends abandon me
It's just the routine politics of jealousy
Someday we'll remember
That one red rose and one last goodbye
[One last goodbye]

[Chorus] 

Cocaine Carolina
Composer(s): David Allan Coe
Performer(s): David Allan Coe



Morning found me lyin' on a floor in New Orleans
Looking like the patches was about to eat my jeans
Feeling like my belly was a warehouse for the blues
And I sure miss my sweet Cocaine Carolina
Better on an ocean liner call the Cocaine Carolina
She was quite a lady then and I was twenty two
God knows how much I adored her I just never could afford her
Cocaine Carolina how did I get hooked on you
So goodbye Cocaine Carolina you and I are through
I'm going back to Sandy Skag she knows just what to do
She don't love me for my money she just wants my body honey
Cocaine Carolina how did I get hooked on you

Oh someone said if I was lucky I could go back to Kentucky
Lexington was famous for its bluegrass and its hills
Carolina we should get up don't you know we'll have to split up
Baby I should go to California
Goodbye Cocaine Carolina...
Oh goodbye Cocaine Carolina...
Oh goodbye Cocaine Carolina...

Rhythm Of My Heart
Composer(s): John Capek; Marc Jordan
Performer(s): Rod Stewart;
and various other artists



Across the street the river runs 
Down in the gutter life is slipping away
Let me still exist in another place
Running down under cover 
Of a helicopter blade

The flames are getting higher 
In effigy
Burning down the bridges of my memory
Love may still alive 
somewhere someday 
where they're downing only deer 
a hundred steel towns away

Oh, rhythm of my heart 
is beating like a drum 
with the words "I Love you" 
rolling off my tongue 
No never will I roam 
for I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing

Photographs and kerosene 
light up my darkness
light it up
light it up 
I can still feel the touch 
of your thin blue jeans
Running down the alley 
I've got my eyes all over you, baby
Oh, baby

Oh, the rhythm of my heart 
is beating like a drum 
with the words "I Love you" 
rolling off my tongue
No never will I roam 
for I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing

Oh, yeah

Oh, I've got lightning in my veins
shifting like the handle 
of a slot machine
Love may still exist 
in another place 
I'm just yanking back the handle
no expression on my face

Oh, the rhythm of my heart 
is beating like a drum 
with the words "I Love you" 
rolling off my tongue
No never will I roam 
for I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing

Oh, the rhythm of my heart 
is beating like a drum 
with the words "I Love you" 
rolling off my tongue
No never will I roam 
for I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing

The rhythm of my heart 
is beating like a drum 
with the words "I Love you" rolling off my tongue. 
No never will I roam
for I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing

The Seaside Band
Composer(s): Kenneth Blain
Performer(s): Arthur Askey



Once, at the seaside, feeling very restless
I ran down tuppence and I rolled on the pier          
Hadn't gone far when the strains of music
Floated on the breeze and landed in my ear
I quickened up me steps for I love nice noises             
Very soon arrived right opposite the band
Saw the conductor on a lemonade box
With his little baton stuck up in his right hand

One two three four, off went the cornet
Five six seven eight, the fiddles followed too
A man in the corner playing on the piccolo
Keeping time with the sole of his boot
Right behind him was a fellow with the trombone
Blowing like the devil with his cheeks out wide
Working so hard that both his little eyeballs
Left their sockets and stood outside

Hanging on a rostrum, a drummer, very lonely
Drums all round like bees in a swarm
Looking very cold with his nose quite scarlet
Banging on the cymbals to keep himself warm
Opposite to him was the man with the toupee
Spitting down a reed - what a nasty man!
Sitting next to him was a fellow with a French horn
Full of soul and bitter beer, tuppence on the can          
                                                                     
Fellow with a cello, boom boom boom boom
Trying very hard to saw it in two
His pal with the double bass, cuddling it fondly
Looking like a camel with a dose of the flu
Man with a piccolo, fed up with the dancing
Sick and tired of hearing the same old toot
Thought he'd like a change so he put it down beside him
And then started messing with a full size flute

Man with the bassoon, nothing on his music
Acted like a mute, never said a word
Just as I thought he was going to fall asleep
He picked up his bassoon and gave us all the bird
Then a little man with walrus whiskers
How he got his breath, well I don't know
Found he got his fungus stuffed up the mouthpiece          
And wondered why he couldn't play his little oboe         

Man with the trombone lost his temper
Thought they could not hear him and said, 'Here goes'
Took a long breath and threw all of his false teeth                 
Right on the bridge of the conductor's nose
Then the conductor, getting very angry
Raised his other hand, with a rum-tum-tum
Caused such a draught that the man with the harp 
Went clean through the air and fell through the drum

Bang bang bang went the man with the cymbals
Toodle-oodle-oo went the flute so gay
Fiddles and violas screaming like the wind
And the cornet broke his promise, trying to reach top A          
What a pandemonium everybody different
Each with the other one, trying to compete
Strange to relate it must've been a fluke
But they all finished dead on the same down-beat

Oh, Rule Britannia, they kept the party clean
And I felt sorry when they played
God Save Our Queen

Performer(s): Yes



Innocence no answer 
To your breaking heart 
If the situation 
Sometimes falls apart 
Then in this ecstasy 
Your charms are frozen 
No emotion falling through your arms 
Morning, daydream, time still growing shorter 
Take me over lead me to the water 
To the rhythm of love 
The rhythm of love 
The rhythm of love 
Why should I escort you 
To your secret needs 
Climbing up your ladder 
I keep falling down 
Anyway will do 
Anyone will do 
When you dance to your darkest tune 
Surrounded 
As you crawl around the room 
Night time fever burning till you're higher 
Take me over lead me through the fire 
The rhythm of love 
To the rhythm of love 
The rhythm of love 
To the rhythm of love 
Morning daydream midnight fever 
Morning daydream midnight fever 
Inhibitions keep you from your point of view 
Information needing to confuse 
In this situation I have found you 
In the rhythm of 
Morning daydream midnight fever 
Morning daydream midnight fever 
Rhythm of love 
Rhythm of love 
To the rhythm of love 
Rhythm of love

The Searchers
Composer(s): Stan Jones
Performer(s): The Sons Of The Pioneers



What makes a man to wander?
What makes a man to roam?
What makes a man leave bed and board
And turn his back on home?
Ride away, ride away, ride away
A man will search his heart and soul
Go searchin' way out there
His peace of mind he knows he'll find
But where, oh Lord, Lord where?
Ride away, ride away, ride away

Composer(s): Traditional - T.J. Arnall
Performer(s): George Thorogood & The Destroyers
and multiple other artists



Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down
I went right home and I went to bed 
I stuck that lovin' 44 beneath my head

Got up next mornin' and I grabbed that gun 
Took a shot of cocaine and away I run
Made a good run but I ran too slow 
They overtook me down in Juarez Mexico

Late in the hot joints takin' the pills 
In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill
He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown
You're the dirty heck that shot your woman down

Said yes, oh yes my name is Willy Lee 
If you've got the warrant just a-read it to me
Shot her down because she made me sore
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more

When I was arrested I was dressed in black
They put me on a train and they took me back
Had no friend for to go my bail 
They slapped my dried up carcass in that county jail

Early next mornin' bout a half past nine 
I spied the sheriff coming down the line
Ah, and he coughed as he cleared his throat
He said come on you dirty heck into that district court

Into the courtroom my trial began 
Where I was handled by twelve honest men
Just before the jury started out 
I saw the little judge commence to look about

In about five minutes in walked the man 
Holding the verdict in his right hand
The verdict read murder in the first degree 
I hollered Lawdy Lawdy, have a mercy on me

The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen 
99 years in the Folsom pen
99 years underneath that ground 
I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down

Come on you've gotta listen unto me 
Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be

The Seal Of Seasons
Composer(s): Marc Bolan
Performer(s): T. Rex



The seal of seasons moved with grace 
Love 
Upon the Orkney oceans face 
Love 
She swam and moved 
Just like a prancer 
A gypsy dancer 
A salty shimmered shell of foam

Out of the depths she stood before me 
One breath and shells grew on my nut tree 
It swayed and swum 
Just like a prancer 
A gypsy dancer 
A salty shimmered shell of foam

Her night it came and then she hooked her head 
Unto the fleeing sun and then she fled 
And flew away 
Just like a prancer 
A gypsy dancer 
A salty shimmered shell of foam
