Now the Hit Parade in today's Music Industry is a weird thing Top ten, the top forty, the top one hundred, the top seven thousand These are all lists of records, popular with and purchased by eleven, twelve thirteen year old kiddies It's just the thing for music from such people as, oh, Elvis, Fabian, Fats, Chubby, skinny, messy, icky And with this kind of thing going on, it's hard for us to know what to put out for the Top Forty or the Hit Parade market We feel that Rock and Roll is on one end of the musical spectrum Now, we'd like to go into the other end of the musical spectrum that we ah, we feel that ah, that we feel is Classical and Symphonic music We'd like to start off our contribution to the Symphonic and Classical music world this evening with something from the string section...
The violins play the song Everyone has got to sing along The violins play the song Everyone has got to sing along
And now we progress to the woodwind section...
The clarinet, the clarinet He doesn't know it, but he'll learn it yet The clarinet, the clarinet He doesn't know it, but he'll learn it yet
Thank you Now we'd like to have something from the percussion section...
The drums are never sharp, the drums are never flat They just go rat-tat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat The drums are never sharp, the drums are never flat They just go rat-tat-a-tat-tat-tat
Now the horns...
The horn, the horn Just sneers with scorn The horn, the horn Just sneers with scorn
The violins play the song Everyone has got to sing along
The clarinet, the clarinet He doesn't know it, but he'll learn it yet
The drums are never sharp, the drums are never flat They just go rat-tat-a-tat-tat-tat
The horn, the horn Just sneers with scorn
The violins play the song (All other voices join in, singing their lines and overlapping each other) And everyone has got to sing along
I Can't Help But Wonder French Title: Combien De Temps Pour T'oublier - 1966 Composer(s): Tom Paxton Performer(s): The Mitchell Trio - 1964 Covered by various other artists
It's a long and dusty road It's a hot and a heavy load and the folks I meet ain't always kind Some are bad and some are good Some have done the best they could Some have tried to ease my troublin' mind
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound Can't help but wonder where I'm bound
I have wandered through this land just a-doin' the best I can Tryin' to find what I was meant to do And the people that I see look as worried as can be And it looks like they are wonderin' too
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound Can't help but wonder where I'm bound
Oh, I had a little girl one time, she had lips like sherry wine And she loved me till my head went plumb insane But I was too blind to see she was driftin' away from me And my good gal went off on the morning train
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound Can't help but wonder where I'm bound
And I had a buddy back home but he started out to roam And I hear he's out by 'Frisco Bay And sometimes when I've had a few, his old voice comes singin' through And I'm goin' out to see him some old day
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound Can't help but wonder where I'm bound
If you see me passing by and you sit and you wonder why and you wish that you were a rambler too Nail your shoes to the kitchen floor, lace 'em up and bar the door Thank your stars for the roof that's over you
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound Can't help but wonder where I'm bound
Lettres d'or sur ton blouson il y a écrit Pas peur des garçons et un amour pour la vie T'es belle tu as seize ans et toute la folie Pauvre garçon réponds mais doutons pour Mary
Ouh ouh Je ne fais que passer J'suis pas admis dans ta vie Je suis là pour te faire danser
Les beaux parleurs qui veulent te piéger Ils te feront marcher Moi je te ferai danser
Tu vas en voir de toutes les couleurs De toutes les couleurs Des vendeurs de frime Voleur de rêve en blue jeans
Tu es belle tu as seize ans Tu es prête à croire Qu'il te voudra pour longtemps Celui qui te veut ce soir
Ouh ouh Je ne fais que passer J'suis pas admis dans ta vie Je suis là pour te faire danser
Les beaux parleurs qui veulent te piéger Ils te feront marcher Moi je te fais danser
Sur ton T-shirt En lettre d'argent Amour pour la vie Le reste est sans importance
Tu es belle tu as seize ans Et moi je voudrais tant t'aimer Vraiment te dire comme si je t'aimais
Ouh ouh Je ne fais que passer J'suis pas admis dans ta vie Je suis là pour te faire danser
Les beaux parleurs qui veulent te piéger Ils te feront marcher Vaut mieux danser
Les beaux parleurs qui veulent te piéger Ils te feront marcher Vaut mieux danser
Chiuso dentro in questo camion incrociando gli altri fari faccio a botte coi miei pensieri ed ho voglia di gridare A quest'ora tu stai dormendo e chissà chi stai sognando Ieri sera ho avvertito il gelo io con te mi sento solo special vocalist: guarda dove vai vado dritto nella notte
guarda dove vai
Nella notte dritto là cosa senti mai? Il motore qui che va cosa senti mai? quanto male sai mi fai
Anima l'anima mia che non voglio più morire anima l'anima mia questa volta senza bere anima l'anima mia nuovi giorni nuove sere anima l'anima mia con un lampo di poesia
guarda dove vai sulla lunga linea bianca un'opaca vita stanca
guarda dove vai il sorpasso di un'auto che va quelle luci di un'altra città
Anima l'anima mia che non voglio più morire anima l'anima mia questa volta senza bere anima l'anima mia nuovi giorni nuove sere anima l'anima mia con un lampo di poesia
Sento già che mi arriva il sonno come il vetro io mi appanno ma dove un distributore? Non ruggisce il mio motore
guarda dove vai sulla lunga linea bianca un'opaca vita stanca
cosa senti mai? chiudo gli occhi per non vedere e ti vedo sempre più...
Anima l'anima mia che non voglio più morire anima l'anima mia questa volta senza bere anima l'anima mia nuovi giorni nuove sere anima l'anima mia con un lampo di poesia
guarda dove vai guarda dove vai guarda dove vai guarda dove vai...

Je te donnerai À chaque seconde Tout l'amour du monde Qui sommeille en moi Je te donnerai Toutes les richesses Que notre jeunesse Garde au fond de soi

I Can't Hear You Composer(s): Mark Avsec; Hoenes; Dominic Ierace; Albritton McClain; Kevin Valentine Performer(s): Donnie Iris
Now why you diggin' me Why you stickin' me You always get what you need While I've grown deaf to you What's really left of you You can yell You can scream You can be real mean but
I can't hear you no more No more Well, I can't hear you No more Yeah
You used to be so bland You used to understand You always gave me a hand But now you're getting bold You know it's getting old I guess I know where you're really at
Now you just talk about your fancy friends And all the money they can spend They all drive Mercedes Benz Better strap on my guitar Gotta be a big rock star I got it turned up to 10
So I can't hear you... no more No more No more I can't hear you... no more Baby baby baby I can't hear you... no more baby Aw babe I can't hear ya no more I can't hear you... no more... Well
Stop all your bitchin' Back in the kitchen
You'd better straighten up It's time that you woke up You better learn to be sweet You been on the rag All you do is nag It means nothing to me
'Cause I can't hear you... no more I can't hear you... no more Baby baby baby I can't hear you... no more no more I can't hear you I can't hear you I can't hear you no more I can't hear you I can't hear you no more I can't hear you
Je Te Donne Composer(s): Léo Ferré Performer(s): Léo Ferré
Les fleurs à inventer les jouets d'une comète Les raisons d'être fou la folie dans ta tête Des avions en allés vers tes désirs perdus Et moi comme un radar à leurs ailes pendu Des embruns dans tes yeux et la mer dans ton ventre Un orgue dans ta voix chaque fois que je rentre Des chagrins en couleur riant à ton chevet Les lampes de mes yeux pour mieux les éclairer
Les parfums de la nuit quand ils montent d'Espagne Les accessoires du dimanche sous ton pagne Les larmes de la joie quand elle est à genoux Le rire du soleil quand le soleil s'en fout Les souvenirs de ceux qui n'ont plus de mémoire L'avenir en pilules toi et moi pour y croire Des passeports pour t'en aller t'Einsteiniser Vers cet univers glauque où meurent nos idées
Des automates te parlant de mes problèmes Et cette clef à remonter qui dit "je t'aime" Un jardin dans ton cur avec un jardinier Qui va chez mon fleuriste et t'invite à dîner Des comptes indécis chez ton marchand de rêves Un sablier à ton poignet des murs qui lèvent Des chagrins brodés main pour t'enchaîner à moi Des armes surréelles pour me tuer cent fois
Cette chose qu'on pense être du feu de Dieu Cette mer qui remonte au pied de ton vacarme Ces portes de l'enfer devant quoi tu désarmes Ces serments de la nuit qui peuplent nos aveux Et cette joie qui fout le camp de ton collant Ces silences perdus au bout d'une parole Et ces ailes cassées chaque fois qu'on s'envole Ce temps qui ne tient plus qu'à trois... deux... un... zéro
Tippy Toeing Composer(s): Bobby Harden First release by: The Harden Trio - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
Well, mama go a tippy, tippy toein' through the house Gotta see what's the matter with the baby It's been a bawlin' and a squawlin' and a kickin' on the wall I guess it dropped its' little bottle, maybe

No need a hesitatin or a wond'rin and a waitin' We know what's the matter with the baby
Oh! mama rock-a-baby, daddy rock-a-baby, too It's a yawnin' and a gettin' sleepy, maybe So, mama keep a rockin', daddy rock a little, too And at last it's a sleepy, little baby
Well, mama tippy-toein', daddy tippy-toein' too Gonna try to do a little sleepin', maybe Whether it'll be a minute or an hour or two Is depending entirely on the baby
Well, I hear the clock the ringin', just a dongin' and a dingin' Daddy go and make a little money, maybe Mama sleep a little longer, but remember while I'm gone Won't you please take care of the baby After all, it's just a little, bitty baby
Oh! mama rock-a-baby, daddy rock-a-baby too It's a yawnin' and a gettin' sleepy, maybe Well, mama keep a rockin', daddy rock a little, too And at last it's a sleepy, little baby
And at last it's a sleepy, little baby And at last it's a sleepy, little baby
I Can't Hardly Stand It Composer(s): Jody Chastain; Charlie Feathers Performer(s): Charlie Feathers; The Cramps

I can't hardly stand it You're troublin' me I can't hardly stand It just can't be Well, you don't know, a-babe I love you so You got me all tore up, all tore up
You say you're trough with me You're settin' me free You're just out with your used-to-be

I can't hardly stand it You're troublin' me I can't hardly stand It just can't be Well, you don't know, a-babe I love you so You got me all tore up, all tore up
Well, now that you are gone And I'm alone All I do is sit and moan
I can't hardly stand it You're troublin' me I can't hardly stand It just can't be Well, you don't know, a-babe I love you so You got me all tore up, all tore up
Baby, all tore up Baby, all tore up All tore up...
Je Te Dois Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Je te dois Pour cet amour un peu triste Au fond de toi Que tu gardes et qui résiste Malgré moi Je te dois Des jardins entiers de roses et de lilas
Je te dois Pour avoir cru mes promesses les plus folles Pour avoir misé ta vie sur mes paroles Je te dois Pour tes plus beaux rêves sacrifiés pour moi Moi... toujours moi... moi qui prenait tous les droits Je te dois Pour tes nuits de solitude et de grand froid Toutes les perles de l'aurore Les étoiles et plus encore... je te les dois Je te dois Pour m'avoir suivi au bout de mes délires Me donnant tout ton meilleur contre mon pire Je te dois Pour m'avoir applaudi dans mon cinéma Quand l'artiste se prenait pour la diva Je te dois Parce que tu m'as voulu libre de mes choix En chapelets... en litanies En cantiques... en symphonies... mon mea culpa... mea culpa J'étais sur mon nuage avec toi loin de toi Inconscient du naufrage où tu sombrais pour moi Je t'aimais trop ou je t'aimais mal Mais je trouvais tout normal Tu donnais... moi je prenais C'est pourquoi... Avant que l'indifférence ne s'installe Dans tes yeux où brille encore un soleil pâle Je te dois Parce que tu es là pour ma dernière escale Les photos... les projecteurs Les médailles et les honneurs Je te le dois... je te les dois Je te dois Pour l'enfant qui nous sourit Toute innocence Pour la vie qui refleurit Comme la chance Je te dois Pour la place dans ton cur Que je prends comme un voleur Pour tout ça... Le bail est dûment signé Tout l'amour du monde entier... Je te le dois... je te le dois
I got a pocketful of mistletoe And I'm gonna be headin' up my list With a certain little Christmas doll I know Tonight you're gonna be kissed
Oh, tonight is Christmas party time And I got me a very special date With the cutest little package anywhere And I don't wanta be late
I'll be puckered, waiting for a kiss Just as soon as the party's underway You'll be standin' underneath my mistletoe And you're not gettin' away
Oh, I got a pocketful of mistletoe And I'm gonna be headin' up my list With a certain little Christmas doll I know Tonight you're gonna be kissed
And the minute that the party's through I'll be gettin' to walk you home real slow We'll be stoppin' off time and time again Till my pocket's out of mistletoe
Oh, I got a pocketful of mistletoe And I'm gonna be headin' up my list With a certain little Christmas doll I know Tonight you're gonna be kissed and kissed Tonight you're gonna be kissed
I Can't Go On Loving You Composer(s): Hank Mills Performer(s): Roy Drusky; Tracy Nelson
I thought I could, but I can't go on loving you It hurts too much knowin' you stopped loving me Don't ask me who's to blame or why I know it's true I only know I can't go on loving you
Slowly but surely your love became a mem'ry And heaven knows I can't live on memories Don't ask me where I'm going or just what I'll do I only know I can't go on loving you
Slowly but surely your love became a mem'ry And heaven knows I can't live on memories Don't ask me where I'm going or just what I'll do I only know I can't go on loving you I only know I can't go on loving you
Je Te Crois Composer(s): Cyril Assous; Pierre Delanoë; Claude Lemesle Performer(s): Joe Dassin
Je ne crois pas grand-chose, et comme Saint-Thomas Je ne vois que la rose qui m'a piqué le doigt Et que Dieu me pardonne, je n'ai jamais pensé Qu'il fallait vivre à Rome pour ne pas se tromper
J'ai pas pu avaler, lorsque j'étais enfant Que la soupe à Mémé faisait devenir grand Que c'était dans les choux que naissent les garçons Que dans le monde tout finit par des chansons
Mais quand tu me dis "je t'aime" Et que deux et deux font trois Que Venise est sur la Seine Sans problème, je te crois Mais quand tu me dis "je t'aime" Un peu comme en cinéma Un peu pour la mise en scène Sans problème, je te Croix de bois, croix de fer Tu irais en enfer Si jamais tu me mentes Qu'est-ce que ça peut faire J'irai en même temps
Tu n'as rien du tout de la femme de foyer Tu ne vaux pas un clou pour les arts ménagers Tu joues de violoncelle avec des grands-parents Et tu fais la vaisselle deux ou trois fois par an
Mais quand tu me dis "je t'aime" Et que deux et deux font trois Que Venise est sur la Seine Sans problème, je te crois Mais quand tu me dis "je t'aime" Un peu comme en cinéma Un peu pour la mise en scène Sans problème, je te Croix de bois, croix de fer Tu irais en enfer Si jamais tu me mentes Qu'est-ce que ça peut faire J'irai en même temps
Tu es tout le contraire de ce que j'attendais Tu n'as rien pour me plaire et pourtant, tu me plais Tu n'avais pas prévu que ça pouvait durer J'y croyais pas non plus, tout le monde peut se tromper
Mais quand tu me dis "je t'aime" Et que deux et deux font trois Que Venise est sur la Seine Sans problème, je te crois Mais quand tu me dis "je t'aime" Un peu comme en cinéma Un peu pour la mise en scène Sans problème, je te Croix de bois, croix de fer Tu irais en enfer Si jamais tu me mentes Qu'est-ce que ça peut faire J'irai en même temps
Tipperary Composer(s): Leo Curley - Jas. M. Fulton - J. Fred Helf
I'm in love with a slip of a tip-tip-typical Tipperary miss She's a regular clip with a rosy lip that you'd dearly love to kiss From the tip of her toes to the tip top of her nose I love her so I'd like to just take her and squeeze her I know that it wouldn't displease her But she lives in Tipperary many miles away from here If I could just meet her to see her and greet her I'm thinkin' I'd eat her the little dear But she's many miles away from here and so I'll wait I fear Till I take a notion and sail o'er the ocean to Ireland
Now I'll give ye a tip when I board the ship with me grip to trip away I'll be there a yell when they ring the bell and I'll shout "hip-hip-hooray" Then the whistle will toot and away we'll shoot with a toot toot down the bay I'll wave a bye-bye when we're sailin' from over the top of the railin' Then a cross the briny ocean to the tiny Em'rald Isle I'd give me last penny, if I hadn't any, be-gory, or many to see her smile As she used to when she sat ferninst me down beside the stile But I was a rover be-dad and came over from Ireland
Faith it's me that's nearly crazy From me Tipperary daisy All the day me hearts "undaisy" Sure the thing I find that's on me mind Is the darlin' girl I left behind Far off in dear old Tipperary
