The Ties That Bind
Composer(s): Vincent A. Corso - Clyde Otis
Performer(s): Brook Benton



Knowing you stand by me through good and bad
Makes all the difference in my life
And day by day, sweetheart, I find
These are the ties that bind

The little things you do that please me so
Aww, the way you always understand
When simple joys bring peace of mind
These are the ties that bind

You're all I need to see me through
Can I say more than this, my love?
I live just for your kiss, my love
I live just for your kiss, my love

Forever and a day, my love will live
Mmm, the flame of love will never die
So heart and soul please say you're mine
Held by the ties that bind

(These are the ties that bind)

Come prima tu me donnes
Tant de joie
Que personne ne m'en donne
Comme toi
C'est ta bouche qui m'apporte
Ma joie de vivre
Et ma chance c'est de vivre
Rien que pour toi
Que m'importe si tu m'aimes
Moins que moi
Moi je t'aime comme on n'aime
Qu'une fois
Et je reste prisonnière
Prisonnière de tes bras
Come prima tu me donnes
Tant de joie!

Tu trouves mon chéri quand on est ensemble
Que rien ne semble m'intéresser
Comment prêter aux gens la moindre importance
Quand je ne pense qu'à t'embrasser...

Come prima tu me donnes
Tant de joie
Que personne ne m'en donne
Comme toi
C'est ta bouche qui m'apporte
Ma joie de vivre
Et ma chance c'est de vivre
Rien que pour toi
Come prima tu me donnes
Tant d'amour
Que j'espère te le rendre
Quand heureuse dans tes bras
Je me donne je me donne
Toute à toi!
Je me donne je me donne
Toute à toi!

Road To Morocco

Composer(s): Johnny Burke; Jimmy Van Heusen
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists



We're off on the road to Morocco 
This camel is tough on the spine (hit me with a band-aid, Dad) 
Where they're goin', why we're goin', how can we be sure 
I'll lay you eight to five that we'll meet Dorothy Lamour (yeah, get in line) 

Off on the road to Morocco 
Hang on till the end of the line (I like your jockey. Quiet) 
I hear this country's where they do the dance of the seven veils 
We'd tell you more (uh-ah) but we would have the censor on our tails (good boy) 

We certainly do get around 
Like Webster's Dictionary we're Morocco bound 

We're off on the road to Morocco 
Well look out, well clear the way, 'cause here we come 
Stand by for a concussion 
The men eat fire, sleep on nails and saw their wives in half 
It seems to me there should be easier ways to get a laugh 
(shall I slip on my big shoes?) 

Off on the road to Morocco 
Hooray! Well blow a horn, everybody duck 
Yeah. it's a green light, come on boys 

We may run into villains but we're not afraid to roam 
Because we read the story and we end up safe at home (yeah) 
Certainly do get around 
Like Webster's Dictionary we're Morocco bound 

We certainly do get around 
Like a complete set of Shakespeare that you get 
in the corner drugstore for a dollar ninety-eight 
We're Morocco bound 

Or, like a volume of Omar Khayyam that you buy in the 
department store at Christmas time for your cousin Julia 
We're Morocco bound 
(we could be arrested)

Have you ever been driving down the road
And come up on a fella who was just poking along
Straddlin' the white line
And when you try to pass him he'd speed up
Ha ha, well around here we call this fella a Road Hog
This is a story about him and his eventual end

Well me and my buddy went a ridin' last night
Me and my buddy went a ridin' last night
We topped a hill and we saw his lights

I blinked my lights and I started to pass
And then that Road Hog stepped on the gas
Road Hog beep beep do do do do 
Road Hog beep beep do do do do
You'd better get him up some money for bail
You'd better get him up some money for bail
Cause tomorrow morning he will be in jail

Cause I'm the County Sheriff in my unmarked car ha ha ha

We're three caballeros
Three gay caballeros
They say we are birds of a feather

With snappy serapes
You'll find us beneath our sombreros

We're bright as a peso
Who says so? We say so!

We have the stars to guide us
Guitars here beside us
To play as we go
We sing and we samba
We shout 'aye caramba'!
What means aye caramba?
Oh yes, I don't know

Ohhhh!
Through fair or stormy weather
We stand close together
Like books on the shelf
And pals though we may be
When some latin baby
Says yes, no, or maybe
Each man is for himself!

Ohhhh!
We have the stars to guide us
Guitars here beside us
To play as we go
We sing and we samba
We shout 'aye caramba'!
What means aye caramba?
Oh yes, it means, I don't know

The Three B's
Composer(s): Hugh Martin - Ralph Blane
Performer(s): June Allyson, Victoria Schools & Nancy Walker
and multiple other artists



Gloria:
I never wanna hear Johann Sebastian Bach

June:
And I don't wanna listen to Ludwig Beethoven

Nancy:
And I don't give a hoot for ol' Johannes Brahms

All:
The B's we want are these, the B's we want are these

June:
They're the barrelhouse, the boogie-woogie

Gloria:
And the blues

All:
Yes, the barrelhouse, the boogie-woogie and the blues!

June:
Oh, the barrelhouse makes you want to carouse

Nancy:
Every boogie beat will raise your heat

Gloria:
When they start to play the blues

All:
You'll never choose to lose the blues

Gloria:
Oh, the blues will really get you

June:
And the barrelhouse is bound to upset you

Nancy:
And the boogie-woogie beat will drive you straight to distraction
Hey, let's go professor, get a solid reaction!
From a barrelhouse, the boog-boog-boog-boog boogie and the blues

All:
Yes, the barrelhouse, yeah, the boogie-woogie and the blues

All:
When a Dixieland band gets up on the stand
You'll hear the trombones slide and start to ride
So make 'em play those dirty
Dirty hurdy-gurdy barrelhouse, boogie and blues
The barrelhouse, boogie and blues
The barrelhouse, the boogie-woogie and the blues
We're up a tree now, we don't know which to choose
The barrelhouse, the boogie-woogie or the blues

Nancy:
I love the boogie 'cos it tickles my spine
I love the boogie 'cos it's fresh and it's fine
Just like a cigarette with modern design
That's why I love the boogie-woogie (Yes! Yes!)
It seems to knock the wind right out of my chest
It's so darn good it makes a fool of the rest
Just goes to show you that the boogie's the best
That's why I love the boogie-woogie (Yes! Yes!)
It's right as rain, low as a thunder
Light as a cloud, sweet as a cake
It's got a kick like mountain liquor
And it's as slick and hard to take as Veronica Lake
It picks you up and then knocks you right down
It makes you laugh and play and act like a clown
No other music has the right to the crown
'Cos there's nothing that will raise your heat
Like the boogie-woogie beat

June:
Don't mean the barrelhouse

Nancy:
Like the boogie-woogie beat

Gloria:
Don't mean the blues

Nancy:
I love the boogie-woogie beat!

Gloria:
I love the boogie too, but not when I'm feeling blue
I get the blues in the mornin', the blues at night
I even get the blues when I'm feelin' all right
'Cos it sounds so good and it feels so good
And it is so good, my best jazz music there is

June:
I love the blues as well, but not when I'm feeling swell
When I'm feeling kind of chummy and I wanna join the scrummy
I go barrelhouse, barrelhouse
The atmosphere is squalid, but the band is really solid
They play barrelhouse, barrelhouse, they really go to town
The beat is steady as a rock there
They play till five or six o'clock there
You'll be mighty glad you found 'em
It's great to be around 'em
Oh they sock it, beat it, kill it
The barrelhouse will make you hot on jazz

All:
It's the barrelhouse, the boogie-woogie and the blues
That's the barrelhouse, the boogie-woogie and the blues
Talkin' about those three B's
Talkin' about those three B's
Talkin' about those three B's
One, two, three B's
One, two, one-two-three B's

The Thousandth And Tenth Day Of The Human Totem Pole
Composer(s): Don Van Vliet
Performer(s): Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band



The thousandth and tenth day of the human totem pole
The morning was distemper grey
Of the thousandth and tenth day of the human totem pole
The man at the bottom was smiling
He had just finished his breakfast smiling
It hadn't rained or manured for over two hours
The man at the top was starving
The pole was a horrible looking thing
With all of those eyes and ears
And waving hands for balance
There was no way to get a copter in close
So everybody was starving together
The man at the top had long ago given up
But didn't have nerve enough to climb down
At night the pole would talk to itself and the chatter wasn't too good
Obviously the pole didn't like itself, it wanted to walk!
It was the summer and it was hot
And balance wouldn't permit skinning to undergarments
It was an integrated pole, it was taking on an reddish brown cast
Exercise on the pole was isometric
Kind of a flex and then balance
Then the highest would roll together
The ears wiggle, hands balance
There was a gurgling and googling heard
A tenth of the way up the pole
Approaching was a small child
With Statue of Liberty doll

There is a river called The River Of No Return
Sometimes it's peaceful and sometimes wild and free!
Love is a trav'ler on The River Of No Return

She'll/He'll never return to me! (no return, no return, no return)

Performer(s): Arthur Godfrey
and multiple other artists



(Row, row, row your boat, up the river St. Lawrence)
(Hollering, hollering, hollering, hollering) Hollering for Florence (Row your boat)
I left the one I love on one of the Thousand Islands (Row, row your boat)
But unfortunately I can't remember which one
So I row, row, row, row up the river St. Lawrence
And I'm hollerin' Florence, oh! where can you be?
(Where, oh, where, where, oh, where can she be?)

I wouldn't be so lost up here on the Thousand Islands (Row, row, your boat)
If we only had met down on the Isle of Capri
Now I just can't find the place you marked on the post card
Call the Navy and Coast Guard
Oh! where, where can you be?
(Where, oh, where, where, oh, where can she be?)

Mustn't take a nap, gotta watch the map
That was Island seven-ninety-three
Row from shore to shore, knock on every door
How many Thousand Islands can there be?

I better find you soon 'cause I see a thousand row boats (Row, row your boat)
And the fellers inside look mighty lonesome to me
When they row, row, row, row up the River St. Lawrence
They're all hollerin' "Florence, oh! where can you be?"
(Row, row, your boat up the River St. Lawrence
Hollering, hollering, hollering, hollering, hollering for Florence)

I better find you soon 'cause I see a thousand row boats (Row, row your boat)
And the fellers inside look mighty lonesome to me
When they row, row, row, row up the River St. Lawrence
They're all hollerin' "Florence, oh! where can you be?"
(Row, row, your boat) Hey Florence (Row, row your boat)
Hey Florence! Hey Florence! Hey Florence!
Hey Flowie! You're harder to find than Chloe!

take a look and you can see I'm as happy as can be
