The Turntable Song Composer(s): Johnny Green - Leo Robin Performer(s): Deanna Durbin and multiple other artists
Round and round and round and round the turntable goes And on comes a tune that you feel in your toes On and on and on and on the disk jockey plays And most every song has the same old phrase
"I love you!", how d'you like to hear that all day long And not in a song, but in a sigh, so would I Well that's the dream I'm dreamin' while the turntable goes Round and round and round and round and round
Round and round and round and round the turntable goes To play a request for the gang down at Joe's Then for Gwen and Brenda there's a blue number played And for Mack and Jack, Scubert's Serenade
Debussy Gives a lady named Lucy her kicks And three lonely chicks Want something sweet with a beat
While crooners croon and swooners swoon the turntable goes Round and round and round, round and round and round And Bill kisses Mabel while the platter on the table Goes spinnin' round and round
Come What May Composer(s): Vaughn Horton Performer(s): Patti Page
A gypsy with a crystal ball to gaze in Can look into the future, so they say But I am so afraid of fortune tellers To know the truth might cast my world away
Now, just suppose I called upon a gypsy To find you're gonna break my heart some day So, Darlin', I'm confessin', not knowin' is a blessin' So you can keep me guessin', come what may
A gypsy with a crystal ball to gaze in Can look into the future, so they say But I am so afraid of fortune tellers To know the truth might cast my world away
Now, just suppose I called upon a gypsy To find you're gonna break my heart some day So, Darlin', I'm confessin', not knowin' is a blessin' So you can keep me guessin', come what may

Chorus: Oh the Rock Island Line is a mighty fine line Oh the Rock Island Line is the road to ride Oh the Rock Island Line is a mighty fine line If you want to ride it, you gotta ride it like you're flyin' Get your ticket at the station on the Rock Island Line
A-B-C double X-Y-Z Cat's in the cupboard and she cain't find me
Chorus
Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong Lawd you gonna miss me when I'm gone
Chorus
Jesus died to save our sins Glory to God I'm gonna see Him again
Chorus
Moses stood on the Red Sea shore Smotin' the water with a two-by-four
Come What May Composer(s): Tom Snow; Cynthia Weil Performer(s): Air Supply
When she looks at me I know the girl sees things Nobody else can see All of the secret fears inside All of the craziness I hide She looks into my soul And reads me like nobody can
And she doesn't judge the man She just takes me as I am
Come what may, she believes And that faith is something I've never known before Come what may, she loves me And that love has helped me open a door Making me love myself a little more
When I turn away She knows those are the times There's nothing left to say
Nothing that anyone can do And so she lets me live it through And when I'm in my darkest hours of uncertainty She just simply lets me be And goes right on loving me
Come what may, she believes And that faith is something I've never known before Come what may, she loves me And that love has helped me open a door Making me love myself a little more
And when it seems my dreams Have all slipped through my fingers When they just can't be found I turn around and there they are Shining in her eyes
Come what may, she believes And that faith is something I've never known before Come what may, she loves me And that love has helped me open a door Making me love myself a little more

Come Vorrei Composer(s): Dario Farina; Christiano Minellono Performer(s): Ricchi E Poveri
Ci sono giorni in cui non dormo e penso a te sto chiuso in casa col silenzio per amico mentre la neve dietro ai vetri scende giù e aspetto qui vicino al fuoco in quest'inverno c'è qualcosa che non va non è natale da una volta nella vita eppure è stato solamente un anno fa speriamo che non sia finita come vorrei come vorrei amore mio come vorrei che tu mi amassi a modo mio che questa sera troppo triste troppo uguale non fosse più senza di te come vorrei come vorrei amore mio come vorrei che questo amore che va via non si sciogliesse come fa la neve al sole senza parole dovrei capirti quando vedo che vai via e non amarti quando non vuoi farti amare senza cadere in una nuova gelosia che solo tu mi fai provare come vorrei come vorrei amore mio come vorrei che tu mi amassi a modo mio che questa sera troppo triste troppo uguale non fosse più senza di te come vorrei come vorrei amore mio come vorrei che questo amore che va via non si sciogliesse come fa la neve al sole senza parole e questa volta un'altra donna non verrà a cancellare la tua impronta sul cuscino anche alla luna glie l'ho chiesto e non ci sta non vuole più starmi vicino

The Tuck Shop Composer(s): Harry Hemsley Performer(s): Harry Hemsley
There are draper shops, and dairies There are chemists, one or two There are butcher shops, and fish shops And green grocers quite new But of all the shops there in the town Although it is very small The nicest shop is the old tuck shop And I like it best of all
It's quite jolly in the grocers 'Cept when they're selling cheese And the florists sell sweet flowers Red roses, and sweet peas I like the scent of roses And the scent of wild woodbine But the nicest scent is the old tuck shop And I wish that shop were mine
We get castor oil from chemists The oil shop, paraffin The toy shop, trains and trumpets But they're mostly made of tin I often dream of the tuck shop And I know just what I'd do If I were alone in the old tuck shop Then my dreams would all come true
Come Up The Years Composer(s): Marty Balin; Paul Kantner Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane
I oughta get goin' I shouldn't stay here and love you More than I do 'Cause you're so much younger than I am Come up the years Come up the years And love me, love me, love me
A younger girl keeps hangin' around One of the loveliest I've ever found Blowin' my mind, stealin' my heart Somebody help me 'fore I fall apart
I oughta get goin' I shouldn't stay here and love you More than I do 'Cause you're so much younger than I am Come up the years Come up the years And love me, love me, love me
The things she's doin' keep turnin' me on And I've been happy to go right along I know it's time that I said good-bye I know I can't leave no matter how hard I try
I oughta get goin' I shouldn't stay here and love you More than I do 'Cause you're so much younger than I am Come up the years Come up the years And love me, love me, love me.......
Rock Brigade Composer(s): Steve Clark; Joe Elliott; Rick Savage Performer(s): Def Leppard; Bang Tango; Tracii Guns; Joe Lesté
Well, in the middle of the night
and the early morning light You can hear them a million miles away They'll be bangin' on their drums bangin' on your door Waving their flags telling you to score
Watch out for the rock brigade (rock brigade) Oh no, it's the rock brigade (rock brigade) Look out for the rock brigade Leading you away, away
So when they hit your town you'd better get down I'm telling no lies to you mister Cause they live for rock'n'roll they'll try to steal your soul Might even try to steal your sister
Watch out for the rock brigade (rock brigade) Oh no it's the rock brigade (rock brigade) Look out for the rock brigade Leading you away, away, away
So in the middle of the night or the early morning light If you hear them comin' your way Well you'd better watch your step don't step out of line Cause here they come one more time
Watch out for the rock brigade (rock brigade) Oh no it's the rock brigade (rock brigade) Look out for the rock brigade (rock brigade) You better watch for the rock brigade (rock brigade) I say watch out for the rock brigade (rock brigade) Keep your eyes on the rock brigade (rock brigade) Don't let your eyes off the rock brigade (rock brigade) They'll be leading you away, away, away
The Trouble With Me Is Trouble Composer(s): Ernest Tubb Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
The Trouble With Me Is Trouble The kind that keeps hanging around It always comes on the double And trouble will soon get you down
Everything I ever plan always turned out wrong If good luck ever came my way it was on a day when I was gone The Trouble With Me Is Trouble And trouble will soon get you down
The Trouble With Me Is Trouble Its followed me all my life My dreams all fade just like bubbles Ive never known nothing but strife
I was stranded on an isle ten thousand miles from home A rescue ship would pass and think I wanted to be there alone The Trouble With Me Is Trouble And trouble will soon get you down
The Trouble With Me Is Trouble Because fate has been so mean to me It always comes on the double From trouble Ill never be free
If it was raining dollar bills and people were in line Although I was out there first I bet I wouldnt get a dime The Trouble With Me Is Trouble And trouble will soon get you down

Trolley Song Composer(s): Ralph Blane - Hugh Martin First performance by: Judy Garland - 1944 Covered by multiple other artists
With her high starched collar and her high topped shoes And her hair piled high upon her head She went to find a jolly hour on the trolley And she found my heart instead
With my light brown derby and my bright green tie I was quite the lonesomest of men I started to yen so I counted to ten Then I counted to ten again
Clang, clang, clang went the trolley Ding, ding, ding went the bell Zing, zing, zing went my heart strings For the moment I saw her I fell
Chug, chug, chug went the motor Thump, thump, thump went the brake Thump, thump, thump went my heart strings When she smiled I could feel the car shake
I tipped my hat, I took a seat I said I hoped I hadn't stepped upon her feet "Say, what's your name?", I lost my breath She looked so lovely that it scared me half to death
Oh, buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer Pop, pop, pop went the wheels Stop, stop, stop went my heart strings As she started to go then I started to know how it feels When the universe reels
I tipped my hat, I took a seat I said I hoped I hadn't stepped upon her feet I asked her name, then lost my breath She looked so lovely that it scared me half to death
Oh, buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer Pop, pop, pop went the wheels Stop, stop, stop went my heart strings As she started to leave I took hold of her sleeve with my hand And as if it were planned She stayed on with me and it was grand just to stand With her hand holding mine to the end of the line
Come Uno Stupido French Title: Me Voilà Seul Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
E sono qui, senza di te Da un giorno all'altro l'ho aspettato Per non saper colmare il vuoto Che avevo aperto tra di noi Forse era gia', scritto cosi' Se stanno insieme tuo malgrado Volevo vivere a mio modo E' giusto se non ci sei piu'
Come uno stupido sto qui E guardo queste quattro mura Come un bambino che ha paura E piu' che piangere non sa' Eccomi solo a dire che La colpa e' mia siamo d'accordo E' il mio carattere balordo Che guasta sempre quel che ho
Le donne non capiscono Bevevo un po', non molto, un poco E a lei non piaceva Avevo i miei amici, è vero Non sono sempre fini i miei amici Ma mi ci trovavo con loro, e a lei non piaceva
E sono qui, da solo si E tutto sembra che mi accusi Basta soltanto che io posi Lo sguardo attorno e vedo te La verita', e' tutta qui Un grande amore non perdona Quando lo ignori ti abbandona Se soffri poi peggio per te
Come uno stupido sto qui Con i miei sogni andati in fumo Il grande amante il super uomo Convinto d'esser chissa' chi Come uno stupido son qui E con l'inutile speranza Ti lascio aperta la mia stanza Ma so che non ritornerai...
The Tricche Tracche
Composer(s): Tuminello
Performer(s): Dean Martin
(The tricche tracche
The tricche tracche
Antonino he can play the tricche tracche)
Cross the sea in Italy, there's somethin' cookin'
Antonino's all the rage-a, he's-a good lookin'
When he plays his tricche tracche Italiano
All the people start to bop Americano
He's the rhythm man and everybody's idol
At amoré he would surely win-a the title
He gets all the signorini prima classé
And a-just-a because he plays a tricche tracche
(Antonino he can play the mandolino
And he also plays the sweetest violino
On his instrument he plays the roll `n rocky)
E com'è si bello when he plays the tricche tracche
(The tricche tracche)
Everybody gathers round this happy fellah
You should see them when they rock the tarantella
If you wonder why this Antonin' is cocky
He's the only one that has a tricche tracche
Antonino he can play the mandolino
And he also plays the sweetest violino
On his instrument he plays the roll `n rocky
E com'è si bello when he plays the tricche tracche
(The tricche tracche))
He's the reason why there's always sunny weather
Antonino plays the bouncy hits together
Even though they like to crazy roll 'n rocky
He's the only one that plays
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
How they love him when he plays
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
He's the only one that plays the tricche tracche
E' stato un passo breve Tutto e' stato grande Forte immenso e lieve Nella mia vita c'e' un'insolita gioia Che sa chi si comprende Attraverso i gesti di sempre Poi, la fiamma si spande E illumina il tuo sguardo E quello che nasconde Da ieri tu sei diventata grande E sento che tu cambi Questa mia esistenza Nel riportare in me aria di adolescenza Vivendo alla giornata Non conoscevo che un'esistenza vuota Ma adesso accanto a te Io scopro la mia meta segreta Di una vita quieta
Da una vita oscura, fatta di ansie Dubbi, noia, leggi e mura Questa felicita' mi servira' da guida Attraverso i sentieri del tempo E mi riportera' fuori dell'ombra E' un nuovo mattino Che non e' stato mai per me cosi' sereno Se non sapevo piu' che fare della vita E non dormivo mai per vivere di piu' Ritrovo il gusto di sognare E voglio offrire a te La gioia che mi dai Come una rosa, come una rosa Se lo vuoi...
