Down in the meadow in a little bitty pool
Were three little fishes and their mama fishy too
"Swim" said the mommy fishy, "Swim if you can"
And they swam and they swam all over the dam

Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
And they swam and they swam all over the dam

"Stop!" said the mama fishy, "You'll get lost!"
But the three little fishes didn't want to be bossed
So the three little fishes set off on a spree
And they swam and they swam right out to the sea

Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
And they swam and they swam right out to the sea

"Whee!" yelled the fishes, "Oh! here's a lot of fun"
"Swim in the sea till the day is done"
So they swam and they swam, it was all, a lark
Till all of a sudden they saw a shark

Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Till all of a sudden they saw a shark

"Whoa!" cried the fishes, "Oh! look at the whales"
Quick as they could they turned on their tails
Back to the pool in the meadow they swam
And they swam and they swam back over the dam

Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
And they swam and they swam back over the dam

You saw me crying in the chapel
The tears I shed were tears of joy
I know the meaning of contentment
Now I am happy with the Lord

Just a plain and simple chapel
Where humble people go to pray
I pray the Lord that I'll grow stronger
As I live from day to day

I've searched and I've searched
But I couldn't find
No way on earth 
To gain peace of mind

Now I'm happy in the chapel
Where people are of one accord
We gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord

Ev'ry sinner looks for something
That will put his heart at ease
There is only one true answer
He must get down on his knees

Meet your neighbor in the chapel
Join with him in tears of joy
You'll know the meaning of contentment
Then you'll be happy with the Lord

You'll search and you'll search
But you'll never find 
No way on earth 
To gain peace of mind

Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray
Your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way

Vær ikke urolig mer
alt det skal nok gå
alt skal nok blie godt
Vær ikke bekymret mer

alt skal nok blie godt

Vågned’ i morges
smiled’ mens solen steg
tre små fugle
på mit dørtrin
sang så dejligt
de smukkeste melodier
de sagde: Her er mit budskab til di - i - ig

Vær ikke urolig mer
alt det skal nok gå
alt skal nok blie godt
Vær ikke bekymret mer
alt det skal nok gå
alt skal nok blie godt

Du hast ja Tränen in den Augen
ich weiß, die gelten mir allein
Mir sagt das Lächeln deines Mundes
es müssen Freudentränen sein

Lange war ich in der Ferne
es war ein weiter Weg zu dir
Mir sagt das Schlagen deines Herzens
du gehörst noch heut zu mir

Und nahm - das Geschehn
dir manchmal den Mut
glaube daran, nun wird alles gut

Und die Tränen in den Augen
die will ich niemals wiedersehn,
denn das Lächeln deines Mundes,
ist ja tausendmal so schön

Und nahm - das Geschehn
dir manchmal den Mut
glaube daran, nun wird alles gut

Und die Tränen in den Augen
die will ich niemals wiedersehn
denn das Lächeln deines Mundes
ist ja tausendmal so schön

Please help me, I'm falling
In love with you
Close the door to temptation
Dont let me walk through
Turn away from me, darling
I'm begging you to
Please help me, I'm falling
In love with you
I belong to another
Whose arms have grown cold
But I promised forever
To have and to hold
I can never be free, dear
But when I'm with you
I know that I'm losing
The will to be true
Please help me, I'm falling
And that would be sin
Close the door to temptation
Don't let me walk in
For I mustn't want you
But, darling, I do
Please help me, I'm falling
In love with you

Don't worry... about a thing
Cause every little thing... is gonna be alright
Singin' don't worry... about a thing

Rise up this morning
Smiled with the rising sun

Singin' don't worry... about a thing

'Cause every little thing... is gonna be alright {Don't worry}

Crying For The Carolines

Performer(s): Guy Lombardo
and multiple other artists



Big town you lured me
Big town you cured me 
Tho' others hate to say goodbye to you
I'm leavin' but I'll never sigh for you
Big town you robbed me of ev'ry joy I knew

Where is the song I had in my heart
That harmonized with the pines
Anyone can see what's troublin' me
Cryin' for the Carolines
Where is the brook that kisses the lane
Covered with "Glory Vines"
Anyone can see what's troublin' me
I'm crying for the Carolines
How can I smile mile after mile
There's not a bit of green here
Birdies all stay far far away
They're seldom ever seen here
Where is the gal that I used to meet
Down where the pale moon shines
Anyone can see what's troublin' me
I'm crying for the Carolines

Small town you've sold me
Small town you'll hold me
You said that I'd have nothing but regret
I've cried the blues to ev'ry one I've met
Small town you gave me all that I'll ever get

(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
French Title: Rien Qu'un Seul Mot
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones;
and various other artists


I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm driving in my car, and the man comes on the radio
He's telling me more and more about some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination

I can't get no
Oh, no, no, no
Hey, hey, hey
That's what I say
I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm watching my TV and a man comes on and tells me
How white my shirts can be
But, he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarettes as me

I can't get no
Oh, no, no, no
Hey, hey, hey
That's what I say
I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm riding round the world
And I'm doing this and I'm signing that
And I'm trying to make some girl, who tells me
Baby, better come back maybe next week
'Cause you see I'm on a losing streak
I can't get no
Oh, no, no, no
Hey, hey, hey
That's what I say. I can't get no, I can't get no
I can't get no satisfaction, no satisfaction
No satisfaction, no satisfaction

Well when I walk, when I walk 
On my horse upon the hill (when I walk the horse upon a hill) 
Well when I walk, walk, walk, walk 
On my horse upon the hill (when I walk the horse upon a hill) 
And I lay me down 
will my lover love me still 

A Dog is here, (a dog is here), a dog is there (a dog is there) 
My dog he got three leg 
but he can't run 

Well when I thought, well I thought 
when I thought you was my friend (when I thought I could call you my friend) 
When I thought, when I thought 
when I thought you was my friend (when I thought I could call you my friend) 
but you laid me down, put my heart around the bend 

A fly flies in (a fly flies in), a fly flies out (a fly flies out) 
most flies they got three leg, but mine got one. 
Well when I fly when I fly when I fly, when I fly above the cloud 
(when I fly above the man in the crowd) 
Well when I fly when I fly when I fly, when I fly above the crowd 
(when I fly above the man in the crowd) 

You can knock me down with a feather, yes you could 
but you know it's not allowed (but you know it's not allowed) 

A Dog is here, (a dog is here), a dog is there (a dog is there) 
My dog he got three leg 
but he can't run 

My dog he got three leg 
Your dog he got none 

My dog he got three leg 
Your dog he got none 

My dog he got three leg 
Your dog he got none

Crying And Laughing
Composer(s): Chris de Burgh
Performer(s): Chris de Burgh



Searchlights, rain on the road
Waiting for the airport limousine
Your time in this foreign land
Is nearly over, I'll never forget how

Last night, after he called
You held me like you'd never let me go
But your eyes are happy now
And you are beautiful, you're ready to leave me

Homeward, back to your world
Back to the one who is there
Go now, but go in love
For it's the only way

And you'll be crying, laughing
Half a world away
You'll be crying, laughing
For the love we have
When you go away...

Long ride, holding her hand
Looking all the words we cannot speak
One mile to the boulevard
And the aeroplane that's waiting to take you

Homeward, back to your land
Back to the one who is there
Go now, but go in love
For it's the only way

And you'll be crying, laughing
Half a world away
You'll be crying, laughing
For the love we have
But you must go
Crying, laughing
Half a world away
You'll be crying, laughing
Don't forget me love
When you go away...

A stick a stone
It's the end of the road

It's the rest of the stump
It's a little alone

It's a sliver of glass
It is life, it's the sun

It is night, it is death
It's a trap, it's a gun

The oak when it blooms
A fox in the brush

The knot in the wood
The song of the thrush

The wood of the wind
A cliff, a fall

A scratch, a lump
It is nothing at all

It's the wind blowing free
It's the end of a slope

It's a beam, it's a void
It's a hunch, it's a hope

And the riverbank talks
Of the water of March

It's the end of the strain
It's the joy in your heart

The foot, the ground
The flesh, the bone

The beat of the road
A slingshot stone

A fish, a flash
A silvery glow

A fight, a bet
The range of the bow

The bed of the well
The end of the line

The dismay in the face
It's a loss, it's a find

A spear, a spike
A point, a nail

A drip, a drop
The end of the tale

A truckload of bricks
In the soft morning light

The shot of a gun
In the dead of the night

A mile, a must
A thrust, a bump

It's a girl, it's a rhyme
It's the cold, it's the mumps

The plan of the house
The body in bed

The car that got stuck
It's the mud, it's the mud

Three Jolly Coachmen

One, two, and three jolly coachmen sat at an English tavern
Three jolly coachmen sat at an English tavern
And they decided, and they decided, and they decided to have another flagon

Landlord, fill the flowing bowl until it doth run over 
Landlord, fill the flowing bowl until it doth run over
For tonight we merr-I be 
For tonight we merr-I be
For tonight we merr-I be
Tomorrow we'll be sober (What!) 

Here's to the man who drinks dark ale and goes to bed quite mellow! 
Here's to the man who drinks dark ale and goes to bed quite mellow!
He lives as he ought to live 
He lives as he ought to live
He lives as he ought to live
He'll die a jolly good fellow! (Ha! Ha! Ha!) 

Here's to the man who drinks water pure and goes to bed quite sober 
Here's to the man who drinks water pure and goes to bed quite sober 
He falls as the leaves do fall 
He falls as the leaves do fall
He falls as the leaves do fall
He'll die before October! (Ho! Ho! Ho!) 

Here's to the maid who steals a kiss and runs to tell her mother 
Here's to the maid who steals a kiss and runs to tell her mother
She's a foolish, foolish thing 
She's a foolish, foolish thing 
She's a foolish, foolish thing 
For she'll not get another (Pity!) 

Here's to the maid who steals a kiss and stays to steal another 
Here's to the maid who steals a kiss and stays to steal another
She's a boon to all man kind 
She's a boon to all man kind
She's a boon to all man kind
For soon she'll be a mother!

I was all right for a while
I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say hello
Oh you wished me well, you couldn't tell
That I'd been... 

Crying over you
Crying over you
Then you said so long
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying, crying, crying
It's hard to understand
But the touch of your hand
Can start me crying 

I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more
Than I did before
But darling, what can I do
Now you don't love me
And I'll always be 

Crying over you
Crying over you
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying 

I'm crying, crying
Oooover you

Performer(s): Fred Astaire; Doris Day


(Dig it, dig it, dig that Doris
on the vocal chorus)

I never could do the Conga
Could never get through the Conga
But if you say "do the Conga"
I ain't hep to that step, but I'll dig it

I never could see Mazurka
They're poison to me, Mazurkas
But if it's to be Mazurka
I ain't hep to that step, but I'll dig it

When they invented the Charleston
I was a total flop
But, say, if you want a Charleston
I'll never stop, I'll dance till I drop

I never could dig the Polka
The corniest jig, the Polka
But if you say dig the Polka
I ain't hep to that step, but I'll dig it

(Orchestral Interlude)

I ain't hep, but I'll dig it

Yo estaba bien por un tiempo
volviendo a sonreír
Luego anoche te vi
tu mano me tocó
y el saludo de tu voz
Y hablé muy bien
y tú sin saber
que he estado
llorando por tu amor
llorando por tu amor
Luego de tu adiós
sentí todo mi dolor
Sola y llorando, llorando, llorando 
No es fácil de entender
que al verte otra vez
yo esté llorando

Yo que pensé que te olvidé
pero es verdad, es la verdad
que te quiero aun más
mucho más que ayer
Dime tú que puedo hacer
¿No me quieres ya?
Y siempre estaré 
llorando por tu amor
llorando por tu amor
Tu amor se llevó
todo mi corazón
Y quedo llorando, llorando, llorando, llorando
por tu amor

Mon histoire est une histoire
Comme on en voit tous les jours
On croit pouvoir s'aimer pour la vie
Ce que l'on a cru à jour
On veut y croire pour toujours
Mais déjà on se perd dans la nuit

Je l'aime
Je l'aime

Quand je lui disais qu'un jour
Il faudrait bien se quitter
Elle semblait se détourner de moi
Pourtant elle cachait ses yeux
Dans ses cheveux pour pleurer
Je cherche encore à savoir pourquoi

Je l'aime
Je l'aime

Je ne l'oublierai jamais
Je la cherche dans les rues
Comme un fou
Je crois entendre sa voix
Et il me semble la trouver partout
Partout

Je l'aime
Je l'aime

Ne lui a-t-on pas appris
Lorsqu'elle n'était qu'une enfant
Que le temps est souvent le plus fort
Les défaites de la vie
Marquent un garçon pour longtemps
Le saura-t-elle quand je serai mort

Je l'aime
Je l'aime

Je l'aime
Je l'aime...

Three Hundred Pounds Of Hongry

Performer(s): Donnie Fritts; Eddie Hinton; Marcia Ball



Three hundred pounds of hongry
Down to her house every Sunday
Boil them taters and butter them buns
Lickin' that grease right off they thumbs
Three hundred pounds
Tall as she round
And every pound of that body so fine
I can hardly b'lieve that it's mine

Oooo, how that three hundred pounds amaze me
When she gets down in the gravy
God almighty, what a soulful groove
When she gets down in the barbecue
Three hundred pounds
Tall as she round
And every pound of that body so fine
I can hardly b'lieve that it's mine - oh man!

Everybody ax me why
Do you love a woman twice yo' size?
Well don't you know, the bigger the better
And that three hundred pounds sho'nuf got it all together
Lovin' that lard and gettin' them grits
Lovin' her mo' the bigger she gits
Now let yourself go
You big ol' thang, don't you know
I don't care if she weighs a ton
Long as I can butter yo' buns

Three hundred pounds
Tall as she round
You big ol' thang, don't you know
That, Lord, I love you so

(Fat!)
(Pounds!)

Cryin' To Be Heard
Composer(s): Dave Mason
Performer(s): Traffic



Somebody's cryin' to be heard
And there's also someone who hears every word

Sail across the ocean with your back against the wind
Listening to nothing save the calling of a bird
And when the rain begins to fall, don't you start to curse
It may be just the tears of someone that you never heard

Reflected in the water is a face that you don't know
And isn't it surprising when you find out it's your own?
And so you try to find out whether it is friend or foe
And what it wants to know, and what it wants to know

Well, you're wrapped up in your little world and no one can get in
You sit and think of everything, then you wonder where you've been
You put the blame on someone that you've hardly ever known
And then you realize too late the blame was all your own
