    Two Little Orphans
    (aka Two Little Children)
    (Traditional)
    Performer(s): Roy Acuff
    and multiple other artists



    Two little children, a girl and a boy
    Stood by an old church door
    The little girls feet were as brown as the curls
    That hung upon the dress that she wore

    The little boy's coat was all tattered and torn
    And tears hung in his blue eyes
    Why Don't you go home to your mother I said
    And this was the maiden's reply

    Mama's in Heaven, Angels took her away
    She is gone to that land fair and bright
    She said she would come for her darlings some day
    Perhaps she will come tonight

    We can't earn our bread, we're too little, she said
    Jim's five and I'm only seven
    We can't earn our living since Papa is dead
    And our darling Mama's in heaven

    Papa got drowned on the sea long ago
    We waited all night by the shore
    For he was a lifesaving captain you know
    And he never came back anymore

    Perhaps, there's no room up in Heaven, she said
    For two little darlings to keep
    She then placed her hand under Jims little head
    She kissed him, and both fell asleep

    The sexton came early to ring the church bell
    And found them beneath the snow white
    The angels made room for two orphans to dwell
    In heaven with Mama that night

    Ich Kann Nicht Vergessen
    English & French Titles: I Never Will Marry - 1933/1939; Jamais Je Ne Me Marierai
    Composer(s): W. Brandin
    Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri



    Er ging von mir im Morgengrau'n
    Zerbrach was uns zwei verband
    Und mein Weg wird nun sehr einsam sein
    Ich geb keinem mehr die Hand

    Ich kann nicht vergessen
    Denn er fehlt mir so sehr
    Und wo gibt es einen
    Der so ist wie er

    Sein Zug fuhr fort nach Irgendwo
    Ich weiß nicht einmal sein Ziel
    Es gibt wohl keine Wiederkehr
    Weil soviel in Scherben hier

    Ich kann nicht vergessen
    Denn er fehlt mir so sehr
    Und wo gibt es einen
    Der so ist wie er

    Kein Tag sieht wie der andre aus
    Und das wird auch bei mir so sein
    Manch Mädchen schenkt sein Herz auf Zeit
    Aber ich bleibe wohl allein

    Ich kann nicht vergessen
    Denn er fehlt mir so sehr
    Und wo gibt es einen
    Der so ist wie er

    Ich kann nicht vergessen
    Denn er fehlt mir so sehr
    Und wo gibt es einen
    Der so ist wie er

    King Of Pain
    Composer(s): Sting
    Performer(s): The Police;
    and various other artists



    There's a little black spot on the sun today
    It's the same old thing as yesterday
    There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
    There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop

    I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
    With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
    I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
    But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

    There's a little black spot on the sun today
    That's my soul up there
    It's the same old thing as yesterday
    Tha's my soul up there
    There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
    That's my soul up there
    There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop
    That's my sould up there

    I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
    With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
    I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
    But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

    There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
    That's my soul up there
    There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
    That's my soul up there
    There's a blue whale beached by a springtide's ebb
    That's my soul up there
    There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
    That's my soul up there

    I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
    With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
    I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
    But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

    There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
    There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
    Ther's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
    There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread
    King of pain

    There's a red fox thorn by a huntsman's pack
    That's my soul up there
    There's a black winged gull with a broken back
    That's my soul up there
    There's a little black spot on the sun today
    It's the same old thing as yesterday

    I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
    With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
    I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
    But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

    King of pain
    King of pain
    King of pain
    I'll always be king of pain

    Two Little Girls In Blue
    Composer(s): Ira Gershwin - Vincent Youmans
    Performer(s): Madeline & Marion Fairbanks



    (Dolly)
    It seems as if this trip
    Would take forever and a day
    But where there is a will
    You know, there has to be a way

    (Polly)
    I know a million reasons now
    Why we should turn and run
    But really, I'm so frightened
    That I can't remember one

    (Both)
    With an Irish cook and a wild-man crew
    And a mate who is Portuguese and six feet two
    Ooh! Ooh! I wonder what they'd do
    If they ever knew - if they ever knew -
    We were two little girls in blue
    Not one
    But two little girls in blue

    (Polly)
    With you along, I know
    I won't be very terrified
    But dear, you know a trunk's
    An awful place in which to hide

    (Dolly)
    Now be a Pollyana, Polly
    And I'm sure you'll find
    The trunk as comfy as the two
    By four we left behind

    (Both)
    We can fool the cook and the wild-man crew
    For we fooled our mother and our father too
    Ooh! ooh! When we made our debut
    And the old stork flew - and before they knew -
    There were two litttle girls in blue
    Not one
    But two little girls in blue

    Ich Halte Dich Schon Warm
    English, French, & Italian Titles: I Will Warm Your Heart; Je Te Réchaufferai; Io Ti Riscalderò
    Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



    Der Herbst packt seine Koffer jetzt, Helene
    Der Winter hat sein buntes Kleid zerfetzt
    Was du tätst? Schau nicht so entsetzt, Helene
    ich halte dich schon warm
    ich halte dich schon warm

    Geh'n wir zum Träumen an die Seine, Helene
    ein letztes grünes Fleckchen finden wir
    wenn's doch zu kühl wird rück zu mir, Helene
    Ich halte dich schon warm
    Ich halte dich schon warm

    Dazu lege ich sofort für alle Fälle
    gleich meinen Arm um dich
    und frierst du auch dann
    zieh ich dir auf der Stelle
    noch meine Jacke an

    Wenn dann vielleicht der Wind sich dreht, Helene
    Und nun aus Norden noch viel kälter weht
    Dräng dich an mich so nah es geht, Helene
    Ich halte dich schon warm
    Ich halte dich schon warm

    Zwingt die Kälte uns dann doch zu fliehen
    Ich bring dich und mein Glück in Sicherheit
    Mein kleines Zimmer ist nicht weit, Helene
    Ich halte dich schon warm
    Ich halte dich schon warm

    Ich schliess die Fenster und die Jalousien
    Ich sperr die Tür von innen zweimal zu
    Und mach ein Feuer an im Nu, Helene
    Ich halte dich schon warm
    Ich halte dich schon warm

    Ich werd mit dem Holz für dich bestimmt nicht geizen
    Ist keins mehr da was soll's?
    Dann werd ich komplett die Möbel noch verheizen
    Nur eines nicht, das Bett

    Frierst du dann trotz allem doch, Helene
    Noch fester leg ich nur um dich den Arm
    Und lieb dich zehnmal heisser noch, Helene
    Ich halte dich schon warm
    Ich halte dich schon warm

    King Of The Hill
    Composer(s): Roger McGuinn; Tom Petty
    Performer(s): Roger McGuinn



    L.A.'s asleep
    You roll up your window
    The night air is cold
    The freeway is clear

    In a green Gucci bag
    Are your prized possessions
    The jewels of your mind
    To hold back the fear

    And when Monday comes around
    There's a high lonesome sound
    And she follows you down for the kill
    And a white blinding light
    Makes it all seem so right
    And you feel like the king of the hill

    The driveway is long
    Your princess is lovely
    Your servants all wait
    For your knock on the door

    How many years
    Will you crawl through the castle
    So satisfied
    And still wanting more

    And when Monday comes around
    There's a high lonesome sound
    And she follows you down for the kill
    And a white blinding light
    Makes it all seem so right
    And you feel like the king of the hill

    The guests have arrived
    With all the right faces
    But you miss the ball
    In that room down the hall

    It's sunrise again
    The driveway is empty
    The crystal is cracked
    There's blood on the wall

    And when Monday comes around
    There's a high lonesome sound
    And she follows you down for the kill
    And a white blinding light
    Makes it all seem so right
    And you feel like the king of the hill

    Two Little Girls In Blue
    Composer(s): Charles Graham



    An old man gazed on a photograph
    In a locket he'd worn for years
    His nephew then asked him the reason why
    That picture had caused him tears
    "Come listen," he said, "I will tell you, lad
    A story that's strange, but true!
    Your father and I, at the school one day
    Met two little girls in blue
    That picture is one of those girls," he said
    And to me she was once a wife
    I thought her unfaithful, we quarrelled lad
    And parted that night for life
    My fancy of jealousy wronged a heart
    A heart that was good and true
    For two better girls never lived than they
    Those two little girls in blue"

    Two little girls in blue, lad
    Two little girls in blue
    They were sisters, we were brothers
    And learned to love the two
    And one little girl in blue, lad
    Who won your father's heart
    Became your mother
    I married the other
    And now we have drifted apart

    French Title: Je Crois En Nous - 1984
    Composer(s): Roger Cook; Sam Hogin; M. Künze
    Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri



    Ich glaube nicht an Superstars
    An Rendezvous in Kellerbars
    Ich glaube nicht an Glanz und Ruhm
    An Hollywood und Heldentum
    Ich glaub nicht, dass man älter wird
    Solang das Herz nicht kälter wird
    Dass besser ist, wer mehr kassiert
    Und dass das Geld die Welt regiert

    Ich glaub an Zärtlichkeit
    Und ich glaub an Liebe
    Und vor allem glaube ich
    An nichts so wie an dich

    Ich glaub nicht, dass Gott die nur liebt
    Die er oft in der Kirche sieht
    Ich glaub nicht an Gerechtigkeit
    Die nur bestraft und nie verzeiht
    An Klugheit, die sich selbst gefällt
    Und sich für was Bess'res hält
    Ich glaub an kein Moralgesetz
    Dass die, die anders sind, verletzt

    Ich glaub an Ehrlichkeit
    Und ich glaub an Freundschaft
    Und vor allem glaube ich
    An nichts so wie an dich

    Wohin die Reise morgen geht
    Wie lange sich die Welt noch dreht
    Dass weiß niemand
    Doch ich
    Glaub ganz fest an dich

    Ich glaube nicht an Sicherheit
    An Pillen gegen Traurigkeit
    An Kunst, die niemand mehr versteht
    An Fortschritt, der nur rückwärts geht
    Ich glaub nicht an den Unterschied
    Von Schwarz und Weiß und Nord und Süd
    Ich glaub's nicht, wenn man mir erzählt
    Dass nichts mehr gut ist auf der Welt

    Ich glaub an Selbstvertrau'n
    Und ich glaub an Morgen
    Und vor allem glaube ich
    An nichts so wie an dich

    Ich glaub an Zärtlichkeit
    Und ich glaub an Liebe
    Und vor allem glaube ich
    An nichts so wie an dich

    Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let fifty cents
    No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes
    Ah but two hours of pushin' broom
    Buys a eight by twelve four-bit room
    I'm a man of means by no means,
    King of the road

    Third boxcar midnight train, destination Bangor, Maine
    Old worn out suit and shoes, I don't pay no union dues
    I smoke old stogies I have found,
    Short but not too big around
    I'm a man of means by no means,
    King of the road

    I know every engineer on every train
    All of their children and all of their names
    And every handout in every town
    And every lock that ain't locked when no-one's around
    I sing...

    Two Little Girls From Little Rock
    Composer(s): Jule Styne - Leo Robin
    Performer(s): Marilyn Monroe & Jane Russell



    We're just two little girls from Little Rock
    We lived on the wrong side of the tracks
    But the gentlemen friends who used to call
    they never did seem to mind at all
    They came to the wrong side of the tracks

    Then someone broke my heart in Little Rock
    so I up and left the pieces there
    Like a little lost lamb I roamed about
    I came to New York and I found out
    that men are the same way everywhere

    I was young and determined to be wined and dined and ermined
    and I worked at it all around the clock
    Now one of these days in my fancy clothes
    I'm a going back home and punch the nose
    of the one who broke my heart (the one who broke my heart)
    The one who broke my heart in Little Rock, Little Rock, Little Rock... Little Rock

    I'm just a little girl from Little Rock
    a horse used to be my closest pal
    Though I never did learn to read or write
    I learned about love in the pale moonlight
    and now I'm an educated gal

    I learned an awful lot in Little Rock
    and here's some advice I'd like to share
    find a gentleman who is shy or bold
    or short or tall, or young or old...
    as long as the guy's a millionaire!

    For a kid from the small street I did very well on Wall Street
    though I never owned a share of stock
    And now that I'm known in the biggest banks
    I'm going back home and give my thanks
    to the one who broke my heart (the one who broke my heart)
    The one who broke my heart in Little Rock!

    Zärtlichkeit war
    vor dir nur ein Wort

    Steht die Erde in Flammen

    When We Were Two Little Boys
    Composer(s): Edward Madden - Theodore Morse
    First release: Billy Murray - 1903
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Two little boys had two little toys
    Each had a wooden horse
    Gaily they played each summers day
    Warriors both of cause
    One little chap then had a mishap
    Broke off his horses head
    Wept for his toy, then cried with joy
    As his young playmate said

    Did you think I would leave you crying
    When there's room on my horse for two
    Climb up here, Jack and don't be crying
    I can go just as fast with two
    When we grow up we'll both be soliders
    And our horses will not be toys
    And I wonder if we'll remember when we were
    Two little boys

    Long years past, war came so fast
    Bravely they marched away
    Cannon roared loud and in the mad crowd
    Wounded and dieing lie, up goes a shout
    A horse dashes out, out from the ranks so blue
    Gallops away to where Joe lay, then came a voice he know

    Did you think I would leave you dieing
    When there's room on my horse for two
    Climb up here, Joe we'll soon be flying
    I can go just as fast with two
    Did you say Joe I'm all a tremble, perhaps it's the battles noise
    But I thinks it's that I remember when we were two little boys

    Do you think I would leave you dieing
    There's room on my horse for two
    Climb up here, Joe we'll soon be flying
    Back to the ranks so blue
    Can you feel Joe I'm all a tremble, perhaps it's the battles noise
    But I think it's that I remember when we were two little boys

    Composer(s): Cy Coben
    Performer(s): Skeeter Davis



    I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me, babe
    I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me
    If I made my dog cry like you made me cry yesterday
    The neighbors all would go and call the ASPCA

    I wouldn't hurt my dog like you hurt me, babe
    I wouldn't say those mean old things to him
    If I pushed my little hound the way you push me around
    A fightin' bitin' mean ol' pooch he'd be, babe
    But I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me

    I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me, babe
    At least I'd take him out once in a while
    I wouldn't pet another dog if he was standing there
    I'd hug him and I'd kiss him and I'd let him know I care

    I'd give him love and kindness all the time, babe
    And he pays me back with loyalty
    Though he's just a D-o-g, he's got feelings too, you see
    And I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me, babe
    No, I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me

    King Of The Whole Wide World
    From "Kid Galahad"
    Composer(s): Ruth Batchelor; Bob Roberts
    Performer(s): Elvis Presley & The Jordanaires



    A poor man wants the oyster
    The rich man wants the pearl
    But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
    He's the king of the whole wide world

    Come on and sing (Come on and sing)
    Sing brother sing (Come on and sing), oh-ho-ho
    'Cause the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
    He's the king of the whole wide world

    The rich man wants the princess
    The poor man just wants a girl
    But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
    He's the king of the whole wide world

    Come on and sing (Come on and sing)
    Sing brother sing (Come on and sing), oh-ho-ho
    'Cause the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
    He's the king of the whole wide world

    (Instrumental Break)

    A poor man wants to be a rich man
    The rich man wants to be a king
    But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
    He's the king of the whole wide world

    Come on and sing (Come on and sing)
    Sing brother sing (Come on and sing), a-ha-ha
    'Cause the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
    He's the king of the whole wide world

    Come on and sing (Come on and sing)
    Sing brother sing (Come on and sing), a-ha-ha
    'Cause the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
    He's the king of the whole wide world
    Of the whole wide world
    Of the whole wide world

    Two Little Babes In The Wood
    Composer(s): Cole Porter
    Performer(s): Julia Silvers & George Hale; Irene Bordoni; Cole Porter



    Listen, my children, and don't say a word...

    Now you'll grant me that Denmark has ne'er had a grander son
    Than her great author, old Hans Christian Andersen
    All of you know him, so just to be good to you
    I'll tell his tale of the Babes in the Wood to you

    There's a tale of two little orphans
    Who were left in their Uncle's care
    To be reared and ruled and properly schooled
    Till they grew to be ladies fair
    But, oh, the luckless pair
    For the Uncle, he was a cruel trustee
    And he longed to possess their gold
    So he led them hence to a forest dense
    Where he left them to die of cold
    That, at least, is what we're told

    They were two little babes in the wood
    Two little babes, oh so good
    Two little hearts, two little heads
    Longed to be home in their two little beds
    So, two little birds built a nest
    Where the two little babes went to rest
    While the breeze, hovering nigh
    Sang a last lullaby
    To the two little babes in the wood

    Listen, my children, and don't say a word...

    Now in spite of all efforts to strengthen and quicken it
    Andersens's tale never had any kick in it
    So his descendant, John Murray, in fantasy
    Add a scene for the tired businessman to see

    They were lying there in the freezing air
    When fortunately there appeared
    A rich old man in a big sedan
    And a very, very fancy beard
    He saw those girls and cheered
    Then he drove them down to New York Town
    Where he covered them with useful things
    Such as bonds and stocks, and Paris frocks
    And Oriental pearls in strings
    And a showcase full of rings

    Now those two little babes in the wood
    Are the talk of the whole neighbourhood
    For they've too many cars, too many clothes
    Too many parties and too many beaus
    They have found that the fountain of youth
    Is a mixture of gin and vermouth
    And the whole town's agreed
    That the last thing in speed
    Is the two little babes in the wood

    Give 'Em My Number
    Composer(s): Dave Loggins
    Performer(s): Rick Nelson
    and multiple other artists



    I met you at a party, I gave you my number
    You called me and we started goin' out
    You'd call me every night, you moved into my life
    And you called me to say you're movin' out

    Now that you won't have any use for it, it'd sure be nice
    If somebody walks up to you and they ask you for some advice
    Tell 'em if they're lookin' like they need a love in their life, in their life
    Give 'em my number

    Give 'em my number, tell them I'm waitin' by the phone
    Give 'em my number, tell 'em I hate to be alone
    Give 'em my number, and say somethin' kind about me baby
    You know I'd do the same for you
    Give 'em my number, give 'em my number

    I don't know a lot of people, I'm a little shy
    And seldom have any place to go
    I can remember how it was when we were in love
    How you used to call and tell me so
    Now that you won't have any use for it, it'd sure be nice
    If somebody walks up to you and they ask you for a dime
    Before you let 'em dial another line
    Give 'em my number

    Give 'em my number, tell them I'm waitin' by the phone
    Give 'em my number, tell 'em I hate to be alone
    Give 'em my number, and say somethin' kind about me baby
    You know I'd do the same for you
    Give 'em my number, give 'em my number

    Any hour of the day or night, if you run into somebody
    That looks like they'd be my type
    Sad or blue, look anything like you
    Give 'em my number

    Give 'em my number, tell them I'm waitin' by the phone
    Give 'em my number, tell 'em I hate to be alone
    Give 'em my number, and say somethin' kind about me baby
    You know I'd do the same for you
    Give 'em my number, give 'em my number...

    King Of The World
    Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen
    Performer(s): Steely Dan; Joe Jackson



    Hello one and all
    Was it you I used to know
    Can't you hear me call
    On this old ham radio
    All I got to say
    I'm alive and feeling fine
    If you come my way
    You can share my poison wine

    Chorus

    No marigolds in the promised land
    There's a hole in the ground
    Where they used to grow
    Any man left on the Rio Grande
    Is the king of the world
    As far as I know

    I don't want your bread
    I don't need your helping hand
    I can't be no savage
    I can't be no highwayman
    Show me where you are
    You and I will spend this day
    Driving in my car
    Through the ruins of Santa Fe

    Chorus

    I'm reading last year's papers
    Although I don't know why
    Assassins cons and rapers
    Might as well die

    If you come around
    No more pain and no regrets
    Watch the sun go brown
    Smoking cobalt cigarettes
    There's no need to hide
    Taking things the easy way
    If I stay inside
    I might live til Saturday

    Chorus

    Two Less Lonely People In The World
    Performer(s): Air Supply



    I was down, my dreams were wearing thin
    When you're lost where do you begin
    My heart always seemed to drift from day to day
    Looking for the love, that never came my way
    Then you smiled and I reached out to you
    I could tell you were lovely too
    One look then it all began for you and me
    The moment that we touched, I knew that there would be

    Two less lonely people in the world
    And it's gonna be fine
    Out of all the people in the world
    I just can't believe you're mine
    In my life where everything was wrong
    Something finally went right
    Now there's two less lonely people in the world, tonight

    Just to think, what I might have missed
    Looking back how did I exist
    I've dreamed, still I never thought I'd come this far
    But miracles come true, I know, 'cause here we are

    Two less lonely people in the world
    And it's gonna be fine
    Out of all the people in the world
    I just can't believe you're mine
    In my life where everything was wrong
    Something finally went right
    Now there's two less lonely people in the world, tonight

    Tonight I fell in love with you
    And all the things I never knew
    Seem to come to me somehow
    Baby, love is here and now there's

    Two less lonely people in the world
    And it's gonna be fine
    Out of all the people in the world
    I just can't believe you're mine
    In my life where everything was wrong
    Something finally went right
    Now there's two less lonely people in the world, tonight

    Why So Lonely
    Composer(s): Paul Tannen
    Performer(s): Skeeter Davis



    Why so lonely, why is my world in such a spin
    Now he's gone and yet, I guess, I still love him
    Why so lonely, why all this misery
    I knew it couldn't last, he never belonged to me

    If I'd been smart I would have never taken that second chance
    He hurt me once before and now he's done it again

    Why so lonely, why is my world in such a spin
    Now he's gone and yet, I guess, I still love him
    Why so lonely, why all this misery
    I knew it couldn't last, he never belonged to me

    Why so lonely, why so lonely
