I Don't Love You Anymore Composer(s): Bill Anderson Performer(s): Charlie Louvin
I don`t love you anymore not the way I did before and since you`ve found someone new I think it`s best I don`t cry and walk the floor I don`t love you anymore Trouble is I don`t love you any less I don`t love you anymore for I`ve got no more love to give you drained my heart of all its love with every sweet caress I keep sayin` o`er and o`er `I don`t love you anymore` Trouble is I don`t love you any less I held you close to me one time Kissed your lips and called you mine But another came and thrilled you more, I guess I cried as you walked out the door `I don`t love you anymore` Trouble is I don`t love you any less I don`t love you anymore, For I`ve got no more love to give You drained my heart of all its love With every sweet caress I keep sayin` o`er and o`er `I don`t love you anymore` Trouble is I don`t love you any less
Jennifer Juniper Composer(s): Donovan Leitch Performer(s): Donovan; Patrick Burke; Joel Grey; Jim Horn
Jennifer Juniper lives upon the hill Jennifer Juniper, sitting very still Is she sleeping? I don't think so Is she breathing? Yes, very low Whatcha doing, Jennifer, my love? Jennifer Juniper, rides a dappled mare Jennifer Juniper, lilacs in her hair Is she dreaming? Yes, I think so Is she pretty? Yes, ever so Whatcha doing, Jennifer, my love? I'm thinking of what it would be like if she loved me You know just lately this happy song it came along And I like to somehow try and tell you Jennifer Juniper, hair of golden flax Jennifer Juniper longs for what she lacks Do you like her? Yes, I do, Sir Would you love her? Yes, I would, Sir Whatcha doing Jennifer, my love? Jennifer Juniper, Jennifer Juniper, Jennifer Juniper Jennifer Juniper vit sur la colline Jennifer Juniper assise très tranquille Dort-elle? Je ne crois pas Respire-t-elle? Oui, mais tout bas Qu'est-ce que tu fais, Jenny mon amour? Jennifer Juniper, Jennifer Juniper, Jennifer Juniper
The Dicky Bird Hop Composer(s): Ronald Gourley - Leslie Sarony Performer(s): Gracie Fields
Oh, the chirruping of the birdies on the sycamore tree They're lucky to be so happy and free I know that the chirruping sounds a little different to me I hear them saying early ev'ry morn, "Get up! Get up! Get up!"
The chirruping of the birdies on the sycamore tree It's lovely to see them having a spree A cheeky one this morning popped up on the sill and said "Get out of bed!"
Hopping about, skipping about, flopping about And nipping about the whole day through And the funny little things they do Oh, I know they would amuse you too
Flying a bit, doing a jig, looking for grit Pecking a twig, their necks all screwed And I seem to hear them say, "Get out of bed, shift your lazy head Don't you know that Nippy want's his little piece of bread"
Aah-aah-aah-aah-aah-aah-aah-aaaaaaaaaaaahhhh Aah-aah-aah-ahh-aah-aah-aah-aaaaaaaaaaaahhhh Aah-aah, ah-aah, ah-aah, ah-aah, get out of bed!
Oh, the chirruping of the birdies in the sycamore tree They're lucky to be so happy and free I know that the chirruping sounds a little different to me I hear them saying early ev'ry morn, "Get up! Get up! Get up!"
The chirruping of the birdies on the sycamore tree It's lovely to see them having a spree So off I went and threw a piece of bread upon the lawn The bread was Gone! Gone! Gone! Gone! The bread was gone!
I Don't Like To Sleep Alone Composer(s): Paul Anka Performer(s): Paul Anka
I don't like to sleep alone Stay with me Don't go Talk with me for just a while So much of you to get to know Reaching out touching you Leaving all the worries behind Loving you My mouth on yours and yours on mine Marry me Let me live with you Nothing's wrong and love is right Like a man says in his song Help me make it through the night Loneliness can get you down When you get to thinking no one cares Lean on me And I'll lean on you Together we will see it through No, I don't like to sleep alone It's sad to think some folks do No I don't like to sleep alone No one does Do you? No, I don't like to sleep alone It's sad to think some folks do No I don't like to sleep alone No one does Do you?
Jennifer Jennings First performance by: Louis Neefs - 1969
Londen-Stad lag stil te dromen in de zon Van zee te dromen in de zon, rondom mij
Waar ik ging, langsheen de zomen van 't gazon Stonden de bomen in de zon, er zalig bij
En toen kwam jij, Jennifer Jennings En danste lief als de lente voorbij Jij kwam, Jennifer Jennings En blauwe ogen die lachten naar mij Naar mij, alleen naar mij
Jij hebt mij toen meegenomen door de stad Langsheen de dromen die je had, zacht als zij
En sindsdien keren m'n dromen telkens weer Naar al die dromen van weleer, van jou en mij
En dan kom jij, Jenniffer Jennings Zo fris en speels als de liefde zo blij Want jij, Jennifer Jennings Je bent precies wat ik droomde voor mij Ja dan kom jij, Jennifer Jennings En blauwe ogen die lachen naar mij Maar jij, Jennifer Jennings Je danste telkens en telkens voorbij Voorbij, altijd voorbij Steeds weer voorbij Hopeloos voorbij
To Say I Love You Composer(s): Harvey Averne - Raphael Pagan Performer(s): Ralfi Pagan
To say I love you It's a beautiful sound Oh, the heavens must have sent you And my love has been found
When you're near me I feel so much joy But when you're gone I'm a sad and lonely boy I think of you When we're apart And there is so much sadness in my heart To say I love is all that I can do
Please say you love me And oh, oh, don't say no To say I love you Is all that I can do I think of you when we're apart And there is so much sadness in my heart To say I love you is all that I can do Please say you love me And oh, oh, don't say no
To say I love you is all that I can do
To say I love you is all that I can say But to show you how much I love you That's something I try to do each and every day When you're in my arms, my body comes to life And when we love, oh when we love It's so nice You know how much I love you, don't you honey Without you, life is barely night and day All work and no play But that ain't the way No it isn't I said no it isn't, little girl Oh little girl I love you I love you 'cause you're fine
I Don't Like Mondays Composer(s): Bob Geldof First release by: The Boomtown Rats - 1979 Covered by multiple other artists
The silicon chip inside her head Gets switched to overload And nobody's gonna go to school today She's gonna make them stay at home And daddy doesn't understand it He always said she was good as gold And he can see no reason Cos there are no reasons What reasons do you need to be shown
Tell me why I don't like Mondays Tell me why I don't like Mondays Tell me why I don't like Mondays I want to shoot The whole day down
The telex machine is kept so clean And it types to a waiting world And Mother feels so shocked Father's world is rocked And their thoughts turn to Their own little girl Sweet 16 ain't that peachy keen No it ain't so neat to admit defeat They can see no reasons Cos there are no reasons What reasons do you need oh oh oh oh
Tell me why I don't like Mondays Tell me why I don't like Mondays Tell me why I don't like Mondays I want to shoot The whole day down, down, down Shoot it all down
And now the playing's stopped in the playground now She wants to play with her toys awhile And school's out early and soon we'll be learning And the lesson today is how to die And then the bullhorn crackles And the captain tackles With the problems and the how's and why's And he can see no reasons Cos there are no reasons What reason do you need to die, die, oh oh oh
And the silicon chip inside her head Gets switched to overload And nobody's gonna go to school today She's gonna make them stay at home And daddy doesn't understand it He always said she was good as gold And he can see no reasons Cos there are no reasons What reason do you need to be shown
Tell me why I don't like Mondays Tell me why I don't like Mondays Tell me why I don't like, I don't like I don't like Mondays Tell me why I don't like, I don't like I don't like Mondays Tell me why I don't like Mondays I want to shoot The whole day down

Jennie, Jennie

Performer(s): Lars Berghagen
Jag vet att du sitter i kväll På ditt rum med ett brev i din hand Du vill blunda och drömma Men kan inte glömma att allt känns så hopplöst ibland Du spelar en skiva och minns Några bilden du har i ett skrin Jag vet att du gråter kanske aldrig förlåter Att tiden förändrat melodin
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie Världen väntar på ditt svar Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie Livet har så mycket kvar att ge dig Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie Melodin bestämmer du Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie Lev ditt liv och lev det nu
Du vill vända tillbaka i kväll Till den värld du levt i förut Men din dagbok i handen Är som tecken i sanden Som havet nästan suddat ut Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie..... Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie..... Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie.....
To Morrow Composer(s): Bob Gibson Performer(s): Bob Gibson; The Kingson Trio
I started on a journey, about a year ago To a little town called Morrow I was going from Glasgow I've never been much of a traveller, so I really didn't know That Morrow was the hardest place I'd ever try to go!
I went down to the station for my ticket and applied For tips regarding Morrow not expecting to be guyed (means fooled) Said I," I'd like to go to Morrow and return No later than tomorrow, for I haven't time to burn"
Said he to me, "now let me see if I have heard you right You'd like to go to Morrow and return tomorrow night" "You should have gone to Morrow yesterday and back today For the train today to Morrow is a mile upon its way...
"If you had gone to Morrow yesterday now don't you see You could have gone to Morrow and returned today at three For the train today to Morrow, if the schedule is right Today it goes to Morrow and returns tomorrow night
Said I," My friend, it seems to me you're talking through your hat There is a town called Morrow on the line, now tell me that!" "There is," said he, "but take from me a quiet little tip To go from here to Morrow is a fourteen hour trip
"The train today to Morrow leaves today at 8:35 At half-past ten tomorrow is the time it should arrive So if from here to Morrow is a fourteen hour jump Can you get anywhere tomorrow and get back today, you chump?"
"Said I," I'd like to go to Morrow, so can I go today And get to Morrow by tonight if there is no delay?" "Well, well", said he to me, "and I've got no more to say Can you get anywhere tomorrow and get back again today?"
Said I,"I guess you know it all, but kindly let me say How can I get to Morrow if I leave this town today?" Said he,"You cannot get to Morrow anymore today For the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way!"
I was so disappointed I was mad enough to swear The train had gone to Morrow and it left me standing there The man was right in tellin' me that I was a howlin' jay I could not go to Morrow, so I guess in town I'll stay

The Archers' Song Composer(s): Rudolf Friml - Brian Hooker Performer(s): Charles Carver
There's a crook with a look like a book full of naughtiness (Hi-ho-ho, the gallows tree) With his boot full of loot and his heart full of haughtiness (Hi-ho-ho and up goes he) By day we'll take him tenderly by the door so (By the torso) Lead him straightway to the gallows tree (And the Lord assoil his soul)
Whooagh! The boys have lost a brother Whooagh! The Devil's caught another There let him hang for a warning Four and twenty crows (Arrhh!) Pecking at his nose Will he find repose, God knows!
There's a wench on a bench with a French kind of flossiness (Hi-ho-ho, the gallows tree) With a sly sort of eye and the sleek sort of sauciness (Hi-ho-ho and up goes she) Some dark night we'll catch her by the slack of her garter (Hah, for a starter) And march her off and never bring her back (And the Lord assoil her soul)
Whooagh! There goes your little sister Whooagh! Her brother never missed her There let her hang for a warning Four and twenty cats (Meaouw!) Singing sharps and flats (Meaouw!) Where will she be then, Amen!
