Two Dreams Met Performer(s): Mitchell Ayres & Perry Como
Two dreams met They knew of two hearts that were lonely That could be so happy If only they found romance Two dreams met They said we must go out and find them And then as we tiptoe behind them We'll make them dance A band was softly playing Sweet music filled the air "Turn around," my dream kept saying I did, and you were there Then two hearts met A beautiful love affair started The dreams winked their eyes and departed They knew that their work was done For two lonely hearts were one

Oh! I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
In the land of ice and snows Up among the Eskimos There's a college known as Ogiwawa! You should hear those college boys Gee, they make an awful noise When they sing an Eskimo tra-la-la!
They've got a leader, big cheer leader Oh, what a guy! He's got a frozen face just like an Eskimo Pie! When he says, "Come on, let's go!" Though it's forty-five below This is what the Eskimos all holler
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Rah! Rah! Rah! Tuesdays, Mondays, we all scream for sundaes Sis-boom-bah! Boola-boola, sarsaparoolla If you got chocolate, we'll take vanoola! I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Rah! Rah! Rah!

Ibiza Bar Composer(s): Roger Waters; David Gilmour; Richard Wright; Nick Mason First release by: Pink Floyd - 1969
I'm so afraid of mistakes that I made Taking every time that I wake I feel like a hard-boiled butter man So give me a time when the countries will lie on the storyline if kind Our days are made since the first page I've lived every line that you wrote Take me down, take me down, from the shelf above your head So give me a time when the countries will lie on the storyline if kind And if I live on the shelf like the rest And if love bleeds like a sad song Please pick-up your camera and use me again So give me a time when the countries will lie on the storyline if kind Yea It's alright now darlin'
Kiss Me Deadly Composer(s): Billy Idol; Tony James Performer(s): Generation X; Billy Idol; Mutant Monster Beach Party
The Greyhound's rocking out tonight To maximum rockabilly When two punks chose to risk the subway For a tube to Picadilly The Zephrys stir fast gangs for glory Another dumb casualty Having fun In South West six Hidden flick knife flicks Kiss me deadly, tonight
Another battle was won and lost Down The Bishops End last night Spotlights pick the kids in triumph With a thousand scarves in flight, see how they run Spring from the terraces in black and white Young and old into the fight Having fun In South West Six With violence for a fix Kiss me deadly, tonight
Seven o'clock they stand in rank For the thirty bus uptown And later in a downstairs room She pulls her lover down In ecstacy but they can't make a sound Case her mother might come down Having fun In South West Six Discovers teenage sex Kiss me deadly, tonight
(Instrumental Break)
The Snooker Hall is empty Cause they're all out playing pool Hustling down the Fulham Road Doing deals with Mr.Cool Well They're on the waterfront now instead of being at school Too old now, even to dig pinball Having fun In South West Six Having fun When a hidden flick knife flicks With violence for a fix Discovers teenage sex Tried shooting up for kicks Kiss me deadly Kiss me deadly Kiss me deadly Kiss me Kiss me tonight
Two Divided By Love Composer(s): Brian Potter - Dennis Lambert Performer(s): The Ventures; The Grass Roots
Two divided by love Can only be one And one is a lonely number Two divided by love Can only be sad Can only hurt one another
Every night your tears come down And I know how you're feelin' inside Loneliness is no one's friend I've been takin' the same kind of ride And that just shouldn't be If you're still lovin' me Come on baby
Two divided by love Can only be one And one is a lonely number Two divided by love Can only be sad Can only hurt one another
I'd by lyin' to myself If I said I was gettin' along All I do is think of you and I know That it's here you belong Come on girl make your way We can start from today Puttin' it back together 'cause
Two divided by love Can only be one And one is a lonely number Two divided by love Can only be sad Can only hurt one another
Take away the rain from a flower And the flower just can't grow Take away you from me girl Out of my mind Out of my mind Out of my mind Out of my mind
Two divided by love Can only be sad Can only be broken hearted Two divided and blue Should take what they had And go back to where they started
Two divided by love Can only be one And one is a lonely number Two divided by love Can only be sad Can only hurt one another
Iba Yo Para Una Fiesta (Traditional) Performer(s): Victor Jara
Iba yo para una fiesta cuando me paso esta mano procuro sacar temprano el boleto es lo que cuenta.
El ruletero protesta cuando el boleto me dio diciendome de que yo me lo pase de inocente porque en el medio e la gente una niña se aflojo
La niña muy asusta hallo a quien echarle culpa y hallo muy buena disculpa dandome a mi una mirada se puso muy colorada cuando yo le dije asi señorita por aqui que sera lo que ha pasado algo se le ha refalado del atracon que le di
La niña puso querella y a justicia me llevo ella dice que fui yo y yo digo que fue ella para una niña tan bella claro que eso era una ofensa el publico bien lo piensa y el fiscal me pregunto entonces le dije yo ella fue la sinverguenza
Un hermano que tenia se dio por muy ofendido y como era merecido me mando la policia despues a mi me decia porque te culpan a ti? dicen señor que yo fui por eso me traen preso ella fue la del suceso y me echa la culpa a mi
Al fin la niña despues vino y me dio un reempujon y yo con justa razon otro empujon le pege ahi se vino otra vez me pego una de patadas le aporre una bofetada y se armo una pelotera dijo el juez todos pa fuera a aflojarse por alla

I know now I must go now Though my heart wants me to stay That girl is your tomorrow I belong to yesterday
So kiss me goodbye and I'll try not to cry All the tears in the world won't change your mind There's someone new and she's waiting for you Soon your heart will be leaving me behind Linger awhile, then I'll go with a smile Like a friend who just happened to call For the last time pretend your are mine My darling, kiss me goodbye My darling, kiss me goodbye
I.O.U. Composer(s): Jimmy Dean; Larry Markes Performer(s): Jimmy Dean
Many people look through their wallet or their pocket books and, way down at the bottom past the credit cards and baby pictures and so on you usually find a little 'ol piece of dog-eared poetry I was cleaning out my wallet the other day and ran across a whole bunch of I.O.U's, some of 'em thirty-five years overdue And you know the funny thing, all these I.O.U's are owed to one person and I kinda felt like that maybe now would be a pretty good time for an accountin'
Mom, I sure hope you're listenin'
Sweet lady, I.O.U. for so many things..... A lot of services, like nightwatchman for instance..... Lyin' awake nights, listenin' for coughs and cries and creakin' floorboards.....hah-hah, and me comin' in too late Boy, you had the eye of an eagle and the roar of a lion But you always had a heart as big as a house
I.O.U. for services like, uh, short order cook, chef, baker..... For makin' sirloin out o' hamburger an' turkey out o' tuna fish And big ol' strappin' boys out of leftovers
I.O.U. for cleanin' services The daily scrubbing of face and ears....all work done by hand And for the frequent dustin' of a small boy's pants To try to make sure that you led a spotless life And for washin' and ironin' that no laundry could ever do Foy dryin' the tears of childhood And ironin' out the problems of growin' up
I.O.U. for services as a bodyguard For protectin' me from the terrors of thunderstorms and nightmares Hah, And too many green apples
And Lord knows, I.O.U. for medical attention For nursing me through measles, mumps, bruises Bumps, splinters and spring fever Oh-oh, let's not forget medical advice....important things like "If you keep on scratching that, it'll never get well" or "If you cross your eyes, they're gonna stick like that" And probably the most important advice of all "Boy, you be sure you got on clean underwear, in case you're in an accident"
And I.O.U. for veterinarian services For feeding every lost dog that I dragged home at the end of the rope And for healing the pains of puppy love
And I.O.U. for entertainment..... Entertainment that kept the household goin' through some pretty rough times..... And for wonderful productions at Christmas, the Fourth of July, Birthdays..... And for making make-believe come true..... And you did it all on such a limited budget
I.O.U. for construction work, for building kites and confidence, hopes and dreams an'..... Somehow you made them all touch the sky..... And for cementin' together a family So it would stand the worst kind of shocks and blows..... And for layin' down a good strong foundation to build a life on
I.O.U. for carrier charges..... For carryin' me on your books for the necessities of life That a growin' boy somehow, well, they just gotta have Things like, hah-hah, a pair of high top boots With a little pocket on the side for a jack-knife
And one thing, Mom, I'll never forget.... When there were two pieces of pie and three hungry people..... You were always the one who decided, well, I'm not really that hungry anyhow
These are just a few of the things for which payment is long overdue.. The person that I owe 'em to worked very, very cheap.... She managed by simply doin' without a whole lot o' things that she needed herself.... My I.O.U's add up to more than I could ever hope to repay But you know the nicest thing about it all.... That I know, that she had marked the entire bill 'Paid In Full' For just one kiss and four little words....Mom, I Love You!
Kiss Me Goodnight, Sergeant-Major Composer(s): Art Noell; Don Pelosi Performer(s): Arthur Askey; Alan Breeze; Vera Lynn; George Formby; Len Luscombe; Elsie Carlisle; Chas & Dave
Private Jones came in one night Full of cheer and very bright He'd been out all day upon the spree He bumped into Sergeant Smeck Put his arms around his neck And in his ear he whispered tenderly.....
Kiss me goodnight, Sergeant-Major Tuck me in my little wooden bed We all love you, Sergeant-Major When we hear you bawling, "Show a leg!"
Don't forget to wake me in the morning And bring me 'round a nice hot cup of tea Kiss me goodnight Sergeant-Major Sergeant-Major, be a mother to me
Kiss me goodnight, Sergeant-Major Tuck me in my little wooden bed We all love you, Sergeant-Major Even when your neck grows rather red
Don't forget to wake me in the morning And bring me 'round a nice hot cup of tea Kiss me goodnight, Sergeant-Major Sergeant-Major, be a mother to me

Venus, My Shining Love Composer(s): George M. Cohan Performer(s): Harry Leighton
Most ev'ryone has a sweetheart With beautiful eyes that shine I'm not acquainted with your love But you're well acquainted with mine
Excelling all other ladles Fairer than any by far You must admit that the brightest of all Is Venus, my shining star
Venus, beautiful Venus, how bright you shine None shall e'er come between us, sweet Venus mine None as bright as my darling so far up above Venus, my beautiful Venus, my shining love
Some say true love ne'er runs smoothly But with them I disagree Not a cross word has been uttered 'Twixt Venus, my loved one, and me
Leading my star to the altar Was my most beautiful dream When I compare her with Saturn or Mars Like darkness to her they seem
Venus, beautiful Venus, how bright you shine None shall e'er come between us, sweet Venus mine None as bright as my darling so far up above Venus, my beautiful Venus, my shining love
