I Think About It All The Time Composer(s): Billy Livsey; Don Schlitz Performer(s): John Berry; The Nashville All-Stars
The way you laugh, the way you cry The way that you smile without meaning to The way you look me in the eye I think about it all the time
The day we met, the dress you wore You didn't know I was watching you I've seen your face somewhere before And I think about it all the time
It wasn't supposed to happen to me I'm used to how it used to be It's not like I've got nothing to do But I can't keep my mind off you No I cannot keep my mind off you
You're not a thouqht that comes and goes You're more than a dream or a fantasy Where it will lead love only knows But I think about it all the time All right
It wasn't supposed to happen to me I'm used to how it used to be It's not like I've got nothing to do But I can't keep my mind off you No I cannot keep my mind off you
The way you laugh, the way you cry The way that you smile without meaning to I'm just a man I can't deny But I think about it all the time
I'm just a man I can't deny I think about it all the time Oh yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah baby I think about it all the time All the time
Ein Lied Composer(s): D.L. Jones - Nick Munro
Performer(s): Roger Whittaker
Wir haben tausend kleine Sorgen und oft wird uns durch sie der Blick verstellt Für weit größere Probleme und für all die vielen ungelösten Fragen dieser Welt Wir sprechen oft verschiedene Sprachen Manches Missverständnis fängt so an Gibt's nicht Worte die die Menschen überall verstehen? Gibt es nicht vielleicht ein Lied dass jeder singen kann?
Wir brauchen ein Lied für uns alle zusammen Ein Lied, Brücke zwischen Freund und Feind Wer die Welt sieht weiß, dass uns die Zeit davonläuft Wir brauchen ein Lied, das uns eint
Es sind zwar viele guten Willens Doch der Einzelne schafft es niemals allein Komm, versuchen wir's gemeinsam denn unsere Zukunft fängt schon heute an Vielleicht das uns ein Lied dabei helfen kann
Wir brauchen ein Lied für uns alle zusammen Nur ein Lied, Brücke zwischen Freund und Feind Wer die Welt sieht weiß, dass uns die Zeit davonläuft Wir brauchen ein Lied, nur ein Lied, das uns eint
Trying to love two women is like a ball and chain Trying to love two women is like a ball and chain Sometimes the pleasure ain't worth the strain It's a long old grind, and it tires your mind
Trying to hold two women is tearing me apart Trying to hold two women is tearing me apart One's got my money, the other's got my heart It's a long old grind, and it tires your mind
When you try to please two women, you can't please yourself When you try to please two women, you can't please yourself At best it's only half good; a man can't stock two shelves It's a long old grind, and it tires your mind
Old Man Atom (aka Talking Atomic Blues) Composer(s): Vern Partlow; Irving Bibo Performer(s): Sons of The Pioneers; The Weavers
Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Alamogordo, Bikini
I'm gonna preach you all a sermon About Old Man Atom, that's me I don't mean the Adam in the Bible datum I don't mean the Adam that Mother Eve elated
I mean that thing that science liberated The thing that Einstein says he's scared of And when Einstein's scared Brother, you'd better be scared
If you're scared of the atom, here's what's you gotta do You gotta gather all the people in the world with you 'Cause if you don't get together and do it Well, first thing you know I'm gonna blow this world plum too
Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Alamogordo, Bikini
Now life used to be such a simple joy My cyclotron was just a super toy And folks got born, they'd work and marry And "atom" was a word in the dictionary And then it happened
The science boys, from every clime They all pitched in with overtime And before they knew it The thing was done
And they'd hitched up the power of the Golden Sun And put a harness on Old Sol Splittin' atoms While the diplomats was splittin' hairs
Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Alamogordo, Bikini
But the atom's here in spite of hysteria Flourishes in Utah as well as Siberia And whether you're a black, white, red or brown The question is this, when you boil it down To be or not to be, that's the question
The answer to it all ain't military datum Like who gets there firstest with the mostest atoms No, the people of the world must decide their fate They gotta get together or disintegrate
I hold this truth to be self-evident That all men may be cremated equal
Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Alamogordo, Bikini
Yes, it's up to the people 'Cause the atoms don't care You can't fence me in, I'm just like air I don't give a hoot about any politics Or who got what into whichever fix
All I want to do is sit around And have my nucleus bombarded by neutrons
Now the moral is this, just as plain as day That Old Man Atom is here to stay I'm gonna stick around and that's for true But, ah, my dearly beloved, are you?
So listen folks, here is my thesis Peace in the world or the world in pieces
Ein Kleines Glück ((French Version: Petit Bonheur (Salvatore Adamo)) Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Wababababa...
Du und ich das wäre schön sagte mir dein allererster Blick bereits dir und mir war klar das war echte Liebe deiner- und auch meinerseits aber meine Kleine eins bringt mich fast um ich finde dieses Lied das Eine das du gern singst ein bißchen dumm
Ein kleines Glück wird einmal groß wenn du nur warten kannst dann fällt es auch in deinen Schoß ist Liebe da nur eine Spur mit jedem Tag mit jedem Schwur wird sie doch größer nur
Herz an Herz und Hand in Hand fliegen nur die Jahre so dahin im Nu du wirst sehn im Handumdrehn gehen wir gemeinsam auf die Hundert zu aber meine Kleine dann bringt eins mich um wenn du, du weißt schon was ich meine noch immer singst schon alt und krumm
Ein kleines Glück wir einmal groß wenn du nur warten kannst dann fällt es auch in deinen Schoß ist Liebe da nur eine Spur mit jedem Tag mit jedem Schwur wird sie doch größer nur
Doctor, my woman is comin' back home late today Could you maybe give me something? 'Cause the feeling is gone and I must get it back right away Before she sees that I've been up, down, trying to get the feeling again All around, trying to get the feeling again The one that made me shiver Made my knees start to quiver Every time she walked in
And I've looked high (high), low (low) Everywhere I possibly can (high) But there's no (no) trying to get the feeling again It seemed to disappear as fast as it came
Where did it run to? I thought I'd done all that I could Just to keep the love light burning But whatever I've done, guess I just haven't done it too good 'Cause all that's left is I've been up, down, trying to get the feeling again All around, trying to get the feeling again The one that made me shiver, made my knees start to quiver Every time she walked in And I've looked high (high) and low (low) And everywhere I possibly can (high) But there's no (no) trying to get the feeling again It seemed to disappear as fast as it came
And I've been lookin', I've been lookin', I've been lookin' I've been up (up), I've been down (down), and trying to get the feeling I've been up (up), I've been down (down), I've been trying to get I've tried and I've tried and I've tried to get (up) the feeling (down) I've been trying to get the feeling again I want to get that feeling I want to get that feeling I've got to get that feeling I've got to get that feeling again (up) And again (down) and again (trying to get that feeling) Trying to get (up) the feeling (down) I've been trying to get the feeling again!!!

(I want everybody to get up off your seat) (And get your arms together, and your hands together) (And give me some of that o-o-old soul clapping)
You didn't have to love me like you did But you did, but you did And I thank you
You didn't have to squeeze me like you did But you did, but you did And I thank you
If you took your love to somewhere else I wouldn't know what it meant to be loved to death You made me feel like I've never felt Kisses so good I had to holler for help

Every day was something new You pull out your bag and your fine to-do You got me trying new things too Just so I can keep up with you
You didn't have to shake me like you did But you did but you did And I thank you
You didn't have to make it like you did But you did but you did And I thank you

Jede Frau sucht einen Mann Dem sie alles sagen kann Der nicht widerspricht und niemals schimpft So ein Exemplar, das weiss ich Gibt es auf der ganze Welt nicht Deshalb habe ich jetzt ein komische Idee
Ein kleiner Mann in einer Flasche Ist 'ne völlig neue Masche D'rum verstecke ihn an einem guten Ort Ein kleiner Mann in einer Flasche Ist 'ne völlig neue Masche D'rum pass auf, sonst nimmt ihn dir noch jemand fort
Füllst du dich allein und einsam Weil kein Mensch bei dir vorbei kam Sei nicht traurig, das geht schnell vorbei Hol' aus deine Reisetasche Die versteckte grüne Flasche Mach sie auf und plötzlich kannst du wieder glücklich sein
Ein kleiner Mann in einer Flasche Ist 'ne völlig neue Masche D'rum verstecke ihn an einem guten Ort Ein kleiner Mann in einer Flasche Ist 'ne völlig neue Masche D'rum pass auf, sonst nimmt ihn dir noch jemand fort
Ein kleiner Mann in einer Flasche Ist 'ne völlig neue Masche D'rum verstecke ihn an einem guten Ort Ein kleiner Mann in einer Flasche Ist 'ne völlig neue Masche D'rum pass auf, sonst nimmt ihn dir noch jemand fort
Trying So Hard To Forget Composer(s): Peter Green - Adams Performer(s): Peter Green & Duster Bennett
You know life can be so sad Sometimes you just sit right down and cry You know life can be so sad Sometimes you just sit right down, and you cry
Sometimes your luck it gets so bad Maybe you'd be better off if you should die Yes I've tried so hard not to remember And people I've tried so hard to forget I've tried so hard not to remember And people I've tried so hard to forget
But I can't stop my mind wandering Back to the days I was just a down trodden kid Some folks have such a good life You know they just get on that big train, and you ride You know some folks have such a good life They just get on that big train, and you ride
I would spend most of my days Running and hiding from the world outside If I ever get to heaven You know, that sure would ease my worried mind Yes, if I ever get to heaven That sure would ease my worried life You know when I find that place in the sky People I'm gonna leave this old world behind
I Thank You Composer(s): Fred Ebb; John Kander Performer(s): Liza Minnelli
Ladies and gentlemen, I must tell you something My life looks very beautiful to me right now And in thank you for sharing it with me And in front of you, I would like to thank the man who brought me into it
If it wasnt for you There wouldnt be me I thank you
You taught me to be The best I could be I thank you
There wasnt a day we spent together That you didnt make me smile You gave me my strength You gave me my hope You gave me my style
So isnt it time I stopped and I said I thank you
For all of the dreams Inside of my head I thank you Thank you
This world is a wonderful place This world you taught me to see So blessings dear friend If it wasnt for you There wouldnt be me
I thank you Thank you
This world is a magical place This world you opened for me So blessings dear man If it wasnt for you There wouldnt be me
Wie eine Festung ist dein Haus und ich klopf' an deine Tür Mach auf! Alle Fenster sind ohne Leben
und ich fühl' es du wohnst nicht mehr hier
In Gedanken geh' ich heim Und ich spür bei jedem Schritt Einsamkeit Oh deine Bilder in meinem Zimmer sind wie Träume einer schönen Zeit
Doch ein Bild kann nicht lachen so wie du Ja und ein Bild kann nicht zärtlich weinen so wie du Oh nein ein Bild kann nicht zärtlich sein
es kann mich nicht verstehn und ich muß meinen Weg alleine gehn
Tausend Straßen tausendmal wenn man liebt was bedeutet dann eine Zahl Ich muß dich suchen solang' ich lebe und dein Bild trag ich bei mir überall Doch ein Bild kann nicht lachen so wie du
Trying Composer(s): Billy Vaughn Performer(s): The Hilltoppers and multiple other artists
I'm tryin' to forget you, but try as I may You're still my every thought, Dear, every day No use tryin' to forget you 'cause I realise That I'm trying to forget you with tears in my eyes
And those teardrops only remind me That I love you more and more So, I'll put my foolish pride behind me And go knockin', knockin' at your door
And I'll be tryin' to impress you Hopin' to possess you Now I know I haven't a chance, Dear, there's no denyin' But you can't blame a fellow for tryin'
And those teardrops only remind me That I love you more and more So, I'll put my foolish pride behind me And go knockin', knockin' at your door
And I'll be tryin' to impress you Hopin' to possess you Now I know I haven't a chance, Dear, there's no denyin' But you can't blame a fellow for tryin'
I Thank The Moon Composer(s): Billy Dawn Smith Performer(s): The Crests; The Arrogants; Johnny Maestro
Yes it's true when they say that when the moon is high It casts a magic light on lovers I fell in love with you on a perfect night in June And darling I thank the moon
While we walked through the park the moon was in a cloud I wanted to cry out loud I love you Just then the moon appeared and two hearts began to spoon And darling I thank the moon
Remember I was afraid and shy to tell what was in my heart Then the moon seemed to say you're in love We kissed and gave love its start It's true when they say that when the moon's in sight It casts a magic light on lovers
It made you love me too on a perfect night in June And darling I thank the moon I thank the moon
18 Yellow Roses Composer(s): Bobby Darin First release: Bobby Darin - 1963 Covered by multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages: 1964 - 18 utih Rua (Miodrag Jevremovic) 1974 - 18 Røde Roser (Johnny Reimar)
Eignteen yellow roses came today Eighteen yellow roses in a pretty bouquet When the boy came to the door I didn't know what to say But eighteen yellow roses came today I opened up the card to see what it said I couldn't believe my eyes When I had read Though you belong to another I love you anyway Yes eighteen yellow roses came today
I never doubted your love for a minute I always thought that you would be true But now this box and the flowers in it I guess there's nothin' left for me to do But ask to meet the boy that's done this thing And find out if he's got plans to buy you a ring 'Cause eighteen yellow roses will wilt and die one day But a father's love will never fade away Will never fade away
Tryin` to love two Ain`t easy to do When you`re trying to love two Sure ain`t easy to do
I`ve got a woman at home That`s sweet as can be A woman on the outside Crazy about me I`m caught in the middle Of a three-way love affair Caught up in this triangle Can`t go nowhere
Tryin` to love two Ain`t easy to do When you`re trying to love two Sure ain`t easy to do
I need to be three men in one To get my job done I need a 30-hour day Two jobs with double pay I need a man to go to work A man to stay at home I need a man on the outside To keep my woman...
I Tell It Like It Used To Be Composer(s): Michael Garvin; Ron Hellard; Bucky Jones Performer(s): T. Graham Brown; Joe Dolan
They say that I'm the kind of person who always speaks my mind
I wish that I was stronger I could tell them that you've gone To me there's nothing stronger then the truth But that's one thing that I may never do You can ask me almost anything and I'll tell you like it is If they want to hear about our love and how it all went wrong But darlin' when they ask me about you Then darlin' they will just have to talk to you
I tell it like it used to be When you were still in love with me Before you got to used to me and wanted someone new I tell it like it ought to be 'cause how it is is killing me When they ask about you and me I tell it like it used to be
I'm eighteen with a bullet Got my finger on the trigger, I'm gonna pull it I'm picked to click now I'm a son-of-a-gun
So hold it right there little girl, little girl We're gonna have big fun
I may be an oldie, but I'm a goodie, too I'll last forever and I'll be good to you Oh, yes I will

We got a smash double-header If we only stay together Talkin' 'bout you Talkin' 'bout me
(Do, do, do, do, do...)
I'm eighteen with a bullet Got my finger on the trigger, I'm gonna pull it Yes I will Be my A-side, baby, be beside me Right now, right now I'm a single But pretty soon you'll see We'll have a hit first time And won't be long we'll find That we're raising a whole L.P. Woo-hoo

I Taut I Taw A Puddy Tat Composer(s): Alan Livingston; Warren Foster; Billy May Performer(s): Mel Blanc and multiple other artists
Tweety: I am a little, tiny, bird My name is Tweety Pie I live inside my bird cage, a-hanging way up high I like to swing upon my perch and sing my little song But there's a tat that's after me and won't let me alone
I taut I taw a puddy tat a creepin' up on me I did! I taw a puddy tat as plain as he could be!
Sylvester: I am that great big bad old cat, Sylvester is my name I only have one aim in life and that is very plain I want to catch that little bird and eat him right away But just as I get close to him, this is what he'll say
I taut I taw a puddy tat a creepin' up on me You bet he taw a puddy tat, that puddy tat is me!
Tweety: That puddy tat is very bad, he sneaks up from behind I don't think I would like it if I knew what's on his mind I have a strong suspicion that his plans for me aren't good I am inclined to think that he would eat me if he could
Sylvester: I'd like to eat that sweetie pie when he leaves his cage But I can never catch him, It throws me in a rage You bet I'd eat that little bird if I could just get near But every time that I approach, this is all I hear
Tweety: I taut I taw a puddy tat a creepin' up on me I did! I taw a puddy tat as plain as he could be!
And when I sing that little song, my mistress knows he's back She grabs her broom and brings it down upon Sylvester's back So listen you bad puddy tat, let's both be friends and see My mistress will not chase you if you sing this song with me
Tweety: Come on now, like a good cat Sylvester: Oh, all right Sufferin' Succotash!
Both: I taut I taw a puddy tat a creepin' up on me I did! I taw a puddy tat as plain as he could be!
