Come, Ye Thankful People, Come Performer(s): Tennessee Ernie Ford
Come, ye thankful people, come, raise the song of harvest home All is safely gathered in, ere the winter storms begin God our Maker doth provide for our wants to be supplied Come to God's own temple, come, raise the song of harvest home
All the world is God's own field, fruit unto His praise to yield Wheat and tares together sown unto joy or sorrow grown First the blade and then the ear, then the full corn shall appear Lord of harvest, grant that we wholesome grain and pure may be
For the Lord our God shall come, and shall take His harvest home From His field shall in that day all offenses purge away Giving angels charge at last in the fire the tares to cast But the fruitful ears to store in His garner evermore
Even so, Lord, quickly come, bring Thy final harvest home Gather Thou Thy people in, free from sorrow, free from sin There, forever purified, in Thy garner to abide Come, with all Thine angels come, raise the glorious harvest home
Rock Lobster Composer(s): Fred Schneider; Ricky Wilson Performer(s): The B-52's; Retroliners; The Starlite Singers
We were at a party His ear lobe fell in the deep Someone reached in and grabbed it It was a rock lobster
We were at the beach Everybody had matching towels Somebody went under a dock And there they saw a rock It wasn't a rock It was a rock lobster
Motion in the ocean Oooo Wooo His air hose broke Oooo Wooo Lots of trouble Oooo Wooo Lots of bubble Oooo Wooo He was in a jam S'in a giant clam
Down, down
Underneath the waves Mermaids wavin' Wavin' to mermen Wavin' sea fans Sea horses sailin' Dolphins wailin'
Red snappers snappin' Clam shells clappin' Muscles flexin' Flippers flippin'
Down, down
Let's rock!
Boy's in bikinis Girls in surfboards Everybody's rockin' Everybody's fruggin'
Twistin' 'round the fire Havin' fun Bakin' potatoes Bakin' in the sun
Put on your noseguard Put on the Lifeguard Pass the tanning butter
Here comes a stingray There goes a manta-ray In walked a jelly fish There goes a dog-fish Chased by a cat-fish In flew a sea robin Watch out for that piranha There goes a narwhal Here Comes A Bikini Whale!
Le Twist ((Adapted from: The Twist (Hank Ballard) - 1958/1959)) Composer(s): Hank Ballard - Rudy Revil - Georges Aber Performer(s): Les Chaussettes Noires - 1961

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

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

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.......
