The Thing
Composer(s): Charles Randolph Grean
Performer(s): Phil Harris
and multiple other artists



While I was walking down the beach one bright and sunny day
I saw a great big wooden box a-floatin’ in the bay
I pulled it in and opened it up and much to my surprise
Ooh, I discovered a boom-boom-boom, right before my eyes
Oh, I discovered a boom-boom-boom, right before my eyes

I picked it up and ran to town as happy as a king
I took it to a guy I knew who’d buy most any thing
But this is what he hollered at me as I walked in his shop
Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom, before I call a cop
Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom before I call a cop

I turned around and got right out, a-runnin’ for my life
And than I took it home with me to give it to my wife
But this is what she hollered at me as I walked in the door
Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom, and don’t come back no more
Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom, and don’t come back no more

I wandered all around the town until I chanced to meet
A hobo who was looking for a hand-out on the street
He said he’d take most any old thing, he was a desperate man
But when I showed him the boom-boom-boom, he turned around and ran
Oh, when I showed him the boom-boom-boom, he turned around and ran

I wandered on for many years, a victim of my fate
Until one day I came upon St. Peter at the gate
And when I tried to take it inside, he told me where to go
Get outta here with that boom-boom-boom and take it down below
Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom and take it down below

The moral of this story is if you’re out on the beach
And you should see a great big box and it’s within your reach
Don’t ever stop and open it up, that’s my advice to you
‘Cause you’ll never get rid of the boom-boom-boom, no matter what you do
Oh, you’ll never get rid of the boom-boom-boom, no matter what you do

Ritme Van De Regen

((French Version: En Écoutant La Pluie (Richard Anthony) - 1963))
Composer(s): John Gummoe - Gerrit den Braber
Performer(s): Rob de Nijs - 1963



Zachtjes tikt de regen tegen 't zolderraam
't ritme van de eenzaamheid
Die regen zegt wij waren zo gelukkig saam, maar nu is dat verleden tijd
De regen valt bij stromen, 't is een trieste dag
want je liet staan me alleen
Ik ken nu de betekenis van tegenslag, omdat je met m'n hart verdween

Kom vertel me regen, regen wat je doet
Zeg, maak je 't tussen ons toch weer een beetje goed
'k Heb niks aan een ander, want ik hou alleen van haar

De regen valt bij stromen, 't is een trieste dag
Want je liet me staan alleen
Ik ken nu de betekenis van tegenslag, omdat je met m'n hart verdween

Kom vertel me regen, regen wat ik voel,
O, maak haar hartje vurig want ze is zo koel
O, vraag, beste regen aan de zon hoe of je dat doet

Zachtjes tikt de regen tegen 't zolderraam, 't ritme van de eenzaamheid
Die regen zegt wij waren zo gelukkig saam, maar dat is nu verleden tijd

The Thin Ice

Performer(s): Pink Floyd

Momma loves her baby
And Daddy loves you, too
And the sea may look warm to ya, Babe
And the sky may look blue

Oooooo Babe
Oooooooo Baby Blue
Oooooo Ooohh Babe

If you should go skating
On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear-stained eyes
Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out from behind
You as you claw the ice

Originally performed by: Dexys Midnight Runners
Covered by various other artists



Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
He moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried and sang along and who'd blame them
Now you're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever
Go toora loora toora loo rye aye 
And we can sing jsut like our fathers

Come on Eileen, well I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
With you in that dress my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen

These people round here wear beaten down eyes
Sunk in smoke dried faces
They're so resigned to what their fate is
But not us, no not us
We are far too young and clever
Eileen I'll sing this tune forever

Come on Eileen well I swear (what he means)
Ah come on, let's take off everything
That pretty red dress Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah come on Eileen

Rite Of Passage
Composer(s): Bob Seger
Performer(s): Bob Seger



It's the age of reason for the anarchist
It's a change of venue for the lobbyist
It's a dream of justice buried in the grist

It's a secret briefing based on need to know
It's a condescending rationale from command control
Feel the sense of wonder at the overthrow

It's a rite of passage through a hurricane
Through a rolling thunder through a screaming rain
Hear the shriek of Abel hear the cry of Cain

And Abraham will take his son
Five billion years from now the cruelty will be done

Make a destination
Of the greater truth
Make 'em hang their heads and eat their words
When you find the proof
This is all you're given
It's your only move

It's a rite of passage for the everyman
To a higher ground
To a brighter light
To a promised land
You can feel the power
Of the master's hand

It's a rite of passage

The Texas Troubadour
Composer(s): Porter Wagoner
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



The New York City folks say I'm too country 
The Grenache Village hippies all call me square
But at the Long Horn barroom down in Dallas Texas
They call me the Texas Troubadour there

My home state of Texas you've been good to me 
Your wide open spaces treat me fair
The girls are so much prettier down in Texas
They don't breathe that New York City polluted air

Ah Buddy

The New York City sidewalks filled with people 
Too busy to say hello to you there
With hearts as cold as the concrete that they walk on
They sure could use some clean fresh Texas air

Now Texas folks don't judge you till they know you
And they don't judge you then by what you wear
And you can feel at home anyplace in Texas
If you don't own a thing or if you're a millionaire

Now My home state of Texas you've been good to me 
Your wide open spaces treat me fair
The girls are so much prettier down in Texas
They don't breathe that New York City polluted air

Oh, your fingers touch me with poetry
Don't underestimate what you mean to me
You're like a constant glimpse of the rising sun
You're like a constant glimpse of the rising sun

Come on baby, jump inside my truck
Don't worry, you know you got good luck
All you do is put your right foot out
That move'll show you what's all about

Rise And Shine
Composer(s): Carl Perkins
Performer(s): Carl Perkins



Little children do not worry
Oh, you still got lot's o' time
There's no need in walkin' backwards
Turn around and rise and shine
'Cause the good Lord said he loves you
And through him new strength you'll find
And even though the world may use you
Get up now, go rise and shine

Rise and shine early mornin'
Shine your light all through the day
Makes no difference how they treat you
Stand right up and have your say
'Cause the good Lord said he loves you
And through him new strength you'll find
And even though the world may use you
Get up now, go rise and shine

Look at how they done poor Jesus
Why, they nailed him to the cross
When he died out there on Calvary
So the world would not be lost
So no matter how they treat you
If they slap you in your face
Just remember Jesus loves you
And all because he took your place

Shine early mornin'
Shine your light all through the day
Makes no difference how they treat you
Stand right up and have your say
'Cause the good Lord said he loves you
And through him new strength you'll find
And even though the world may use you
Get up now, go rise and shine

Look at how they done poor Lazarus
When he begged for the rich man's crumbs
But the rich man, high and mighty
He refused and gave him none
Now he's placed himself with Jesus
In that large house up above
'Cause the good book plainly tells us
Lazarus learned to live on love

Rise and shine ev'ry mornin'
Shine your light all through the day
Makes no difference how they treat you
Stand right up and have your say
'Cause the good Lord said he loves you
And through him new strength you'll find
And even though the world may use you
Get up now, go rise and shine

Rise and shine into the mornin'
Shine your light all through the day
Makes no difference how they treat you
Stand by and have your say
'Cause the good Lord said he loves you
And through him new strength you'll find
And even though the world may use you
Get up now, go rise and shine.......

Tu boca, tu boca de rosa
Con ansias de felicidad
Sonriente, primorosa
Cuentan los mas bellos sueños de tu corazon

Tus ojos, tus ojos de cielo
Los he visto llorar
Son tus risas, son tus lagrimas
De amor, de amor, de amor

Mil recuerdos despiertan en mi
Tu ansiedad, tu frenesi
Pues yo tambien el amor senti
Y de tanto amar, llore y rei

Tu cara, tu cara de novia
Un buen dia estara
Tan radiante, tan hermosa
Que tus risas y lagrimas sean de felicidad

Headin' up to San Francisco
for the Labor Day weekend show
I've got my hush-puppies on
I guess I never was meant for 
glitter rock and roll
And honey I didn't know 
that I'd be missin' so

Come Monday It'll be all right
Come Monday I'll be holding you tight
I spent four lonely days in a brown L.A. haze
and I just want you back by my side

Yes it's been quite a summer
rent-a-cars and west bound trains
And now your off on vacation
somethin' you tried to explain
And darlin' I love you so that's
the reason I just let you go

Come Monday It'll be all right
Come Monday I'll be holding you tight
I spent four lonely days in a brown L.A. haze
and I just want you back by my side

I can't help it honey
your that much a part of me now
Remember the night in Montana when
we said there'd be no room for doubt

I hope your enjoyin' the scen'ry
I know that it's pretty up there
We can go hikin on Tuesday
with you I'd walk anywhere
California has worn me quite thin
I just can't wait to see you again

Riptide, caught in a riptide
Torn between two loves, the old and the new
Riptide, lost in a riptide
Where will it take me, what shall I do?

My heart is tossed on a sea of emotion
One love offers romance, the other devotion
A new love is calling, the old love is bleeding
I’m caught in a riptide, what shall I do?

If you go down to the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise
If you go down to the woods today
You'd better go in disguise

For ev'ry bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic

Ev'ry teddy bear who's been good
Is sure of a treat today
There's lots of marvelous things to eat
And wonderful games to play

Beneath the trees where nobody sees
They'll hide and seek as long as they please
'Cause that's the way the teddy bears have their picnic

If you go down to the woods today
You'd better not go alone
It's lovely down in the woods today
But safer to stay at home

For ev'ry bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic

Picnic time for teddy bears
The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today
Watch them, catch them unawares
And see them picnic on their holiday

See them gaily gad about
They love to play and shout
They never have any care

At six o'clock their mummies and daddies
Will take them home to bed
Because they're tired little teddy bears
