Take time to see the wonders of the world To see the things you've only ever heard of Dream life the way you think it ought to be See things you thought you'd never ever see
Take a cruise to China or a train to Spain Go round the world again and again Meet a girl on a boat meet a boy on a train And fall in love without the pain
Everybody needs love and adventure Everybody needs cash to spend Everybody needs love and affection Everybody needs two or three friends
These are the things These are the things The things that dreams are made of
These are the things These are the things The things that dreams are made of
Take a lift to the top of the Empire State Take a drive across the Golden Gate March, march, march across Red Square Do all the things you've ever dared
Everybody needs love and adventure Everybody needs cash to spend Everybody needs love and affection Everybody needs two or three friends
These are the things These are the things The things that dreams are made of
Like fun and money and food and love And things you never thought of
These are the things These are the things The things that dreams are made of
New York, ice cream, TV, travel, good times Norman Wisdom, Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee, good times
These are the things These are the things The things that dreams are made of
These are the things These are the things The things that dreams are made of
These are the things These are the things The things that dreams are made of...
Come On Home (And Sing The Blues To Daddy) Composer(s): Ray Corbin Performer(s): Bobby Bare; Charley Pride; Wynn Stewart; Faron Young
Well, I hear that your new romance has faded Just the way ours did sometime ago Why, I've lost count of all the times I've waited For you to tell me that you've missed me so
So come on home and sing the blues to daddy When things ain't working out the way you planned Yeah, come on home and sing the blues to daddy Tell it all to one who understands
Just like a child who's found a brand new plaything Each one is more fun than the one before But there's a faithful one who's always waiting To be picked up and kicked around some more
So come on home and sing the blues to daddy When things ain't working out the way you planned Yeah, come on home and sing the blues to daddy Tell it all to one who understands
Yeah, come on home and sing the blues to daddy When things ain't working out the way you planned Yeah, come on home and sing the blues to daddy Tell it all to one who understands...
River Composer(s): Kerry Minnear; Derek Shulman; Phil Shulman; Ray Shulman Performer(s): Gentle Giant
Touching the last of what is past Moving silent water fell the first that comes Slow and winding, flowing free Peaceful music in its sound of distant drums Trust the shallow virgin stream Danger wild, beware the deeper it becomes
Moving highway, twisting byway Can't turn back Singing in the summer rain Rain that's caught in its flow
Spreading, shining, silver lining Gold on black Echoes moods of the moon and sun Sun that shines from below
Makes a soft and easy way Left to choose, its path will always be a friend Touch the last of what has past Never idle river drifting to the end

Tell me the words that touch my heart Promise you want me to stay Tell me that we will never part Say I'm the one you'll be loving more each day
You gotta keep tellin' me things I want to hear You gotta say pretty words every time you're near You gotta show me that you care So I'll know you'll be there right through the years Please tell me, please tell me things I want to hear Pretty words, pretty words, pretty words

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 whod 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 dont come back no more Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom, and dont 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 hed 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 youre out on the beach And you should see a great big box and its within your reach Dont ever stop and open it up, thats my advice to you Cause youll never get rid of the boom-boom-boom, no matter what you do Oh, youll never get rid of the boom-boom-boom, no matter what you do

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

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

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
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
