Wild Bill Hiccup Composer(s): Brandt; Morgan Performer(s): Spike Jones & His City Slickers
Singers: Here is a western we saw last night Full of action and dynamite We thrilled and nearly stood on our head From the moment the hero walked in and said
Bill: I'm Wild Bill Hiccup and I'm brave and strong I been ridin' the range for six months long I been ridin' the range a-roundin' up cattle I got so many blisters, I'm tall in the saddle
Pete: I am a villain, I'm mean as can be I hate the hero 'cause he sings off-key I'm an ornery cuss and I'm so full o' lead When a rattlesnakes bites me, he drops down dead Why, chewing on bullets is my daily routine (Spitoon Sound) See what I mean?
Indian: Ugh, me indian, nice and tanned Uuh, me also businessman We're taking scalps to make a penny Sell them to man named Jack Benny
Singers: Our story takes place in a lawless town They'd called on Hiccup to tame things down He has just arived and who should he meet But a no-good outlaw Poison Pete
Bill: Pete, I hear you've been a-rustling again
Pete: And I blew up the bank and I shot twenty men I held up the stagecoach, and robbed the mail car
Bill: One of these days you're gonna go too far
Bill: So you think that you're a pretty good fighter
Pete: You should have seen what I did to Pink Rider
Bill: You mean Red Rider?
Pete: No, he changed his name He got faded last week in a big crap game
Pete: I think you're a coward through and through I'm gonna tell the whole town what I think of you (Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!) So there!
Bill: Shootin' off your mouth won't get you anywhere
Bill: You better leave town if you wanna live Or I'll fill you full with holes till you look like a sieve My old six-shooter is a-achin' to spout
Pete: You better cover up the muzzle, the candy's falling out
Singers: Now the mood of our story changes fast Hiccup is back on his ranch at last
Bill: Well, here I am, I better get dressed I've got a heavy date, I wanna look my best I'll take a quick shower and smell like a flower (Quick Shower Noise) That was a mighty quick shower
Bill: Who's a-knockin' at my door
Annie: It's Gopher Annie, the girl you adore
Bill: Gopher Gal, you've changed somehow
Annie: Do I look like a cowgirl? Bill: No, like a cow
Annie: Bill, do you like the perfume in my hair
Bill: Is that the perfume you always wear?
Annie: No, this is stronger, it's more alive
Bill: What do you call it?
Annie: Corral number five
Bill: Gal, I can see you've been ridin'
Annie Of course, and I had to put the blindfold on the horse
Bill: Blindfold a horse, you're crazy in the head
Annie: If he sees what he's carrying, I'm afraid he'll drop dead
Bill: Gal, I loves ya, deep down inside And I've been needin' a wife since old Kate died
Annie: What, stop just staring, why don't you propose?
Bill: I can't find a ring the size of your nose
Bill: Anyway I've got to find Poison Pete I think he's hidin' at Girdle Creek
Annie: Girdle Creek, there must be a catch Is it far from here?
Bill: It's quite a stretch
Bill: Well, here we are, it's the end of the ride Pete and his gang are waitin' inside Now here's my plan, be as quiet as a mouse I'll sneak in, and you surround the house
Annie: Here's your gun
Pete: I don't need a gun I'm gonna throw that gang out, one by one

Blue December Composer(s): Arthur Berman - Ralph Care - Marvin Kahn Performer(s): Hugo Winterhalter
I remember one blue December As the snow fell, I fell in love Till we met that December, my winters were grey But you changed blue December to May
Then our romance, just like the snow flakes Disappeared when winter was through With each December, each blue December I remember sweet mem'ries of you
Then our romance, just like the snow flakes Disappeared when winter was through With each December, each blue December I remember sweet mem'ries of you
If Composer(s): Robert Hargreaves; Stanley J. Damerell; Tolchard Evans Performer(s): Perry Como and multiple other artists
If they made me a king I'd be but a slave to you If I had everything I'd still be a slave to you If I ruled the night, stars and moon so bright Still I'd turn for light to you
If the world to me bowed yet humbly I'd flee to you If my friends were a crowd I'd turn in my need to you If I ruled the earth what would life be worth If I hadn't the right to you
If I ruled the night, stars and moon so bright Still I'd turn for light to you
If the world to me bowed yet humbly I'd flee to you If my friends were a crowd I'd turn in my need to you If I ruled the earth what would life be worth If I hadn't the right to you
Keep Your Heart Composer(s): Michael Holliday Performer(s): Michael Holliday; Pat Boone
(Keep your heart just for me, keep your heart)
Till we meet once again, keep your heart just for me `Cause it's the first time that we've been apart Everyone has to part for a while, my dear love So, till we meet once again, keep your heart (Keep your heart)
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, I'm told But I'm not taking chances, forgive me if I sound bold Darling, all I'm trying to say is I won't be long away So, keep your heart just for me, keep your heart
(Till we meet once again, keep your heart just for me) `Cause it's the first time that we've been apart (Everyone has to part for a while, my dear love) So, till we meet once again, keep your heart (Keep your heart)
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, I'm told But I'm not taking chances, forgive me if I sound bold Darling all I'm trying to say is I won't be long away So, keep your heart just for me, keep your heart (Keep your heart) Keep your heart (Keep your heart)
Up at dawning, sleepy and yawning Still the taste of wine Then I remember you're mine, and I've got a world that's fine
What's before me? Routines that bore me Punch the clock at eight Then I remember you're mine And I've got a world that's great
Atom bombs, Cape Kennedy, false alarms Half the universe is up in arms So I flip a little, too, until I'm holding you
What's the hassle? I'll buy the castle We can live like kings If we're together forever I've got a world that, you've got a world that We've got a world that swings
If a picture paints a thousand words Then why can't I paint you? The words will never show the you I've come to know If a face could launch a thousand ships Then where am I to go? There's no one home but you You're all that's left me too And when my love for life is running dry You come and pour yourself on me
If a man could be two places at one time I'd be with you Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die I'd spend the end with you And when the world was through Then one by one the stars would all go out Then you and I would simply fly away
You'll Remember Me Composer(s): Arthur Hamilton - Stan Worth Performer(s): Peggy Lee; Shawn Elliott
You can slam the door, you can walk away You can tear up my notes and my photograph You can tear my heart in half if it makes you laugh But I guarantee, you'll remember me I was part of you once, and I'll always be
Remember me, I taught you how to find love First love, happy love and blind love Now you're leaving me behind, love But part of me will always be part of you
You'll remember me, you'll remember me When you kiss someone new, you'll remember me And when someone touches you, gently touches you You'll remember me, yes, and then you'll see What it's like to make love to a memory
Remember me, I taught you how to find love First love, happy love and blind love Now you're leaving me behind, love But part of me will always be part of you
I can say good-bye, I can set you free But as long as you live, you'll remember me
Remember me, I taught you how to find love First love, happy love and blind love Now you're leaving me behind, love But I am part of you now, and you'll remember me
If Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Si tu veux voir détruit l'ouvrage de ta vie Et sans dire un seul mot te mettre à rebâtir Ou perdre d'un seul coup le gain de cent parties Sans un geste et sans un soupir
Si tu peux être amant sans être fou d'amour Si tu peux être fort sans cesser d'être tendre Et, te sentant hais, sans haïr à ton tour Pourtant lutter et te défendre
Si tu peux supporter d'entendre tes paroles Travesties par des gueux pour qu'existent des sots Et d'entendre mentir sur toi leurs bouches folles Sans mentir toi-même d'un mot
Si tu peux rester digne en étant populaire Si tu peux rester peuple en conseillant les rois Et si tu peux aimer tous tes amis en frère Sans qu'aucun d'eux soit tout pour toi
Si tu sais méditer, observer et connaître Sans jamais devenir sceptique ou destructeur Rêver, mais sans laisser ton rêve être ton maître Penser sans n'être qu'un penseur
Si tu peux être dur sans jamais être en rage Si tu peux être brave et jamais imprudent Si tu sais être bon, si tu sais être sage Sans être moral ni pédant
Si tu peux rencontrer triomphe après défaite Et recevoir ces deux menteurs d'un même front Si tu peux conserver ton courage et ta tête Quand tous les autres les perdront
Alors les Rois, les Dieux, la Chance et la Victoire Seront à tout jamais tes esclaves soumis Et, ce qui vaut mieux que les Rois et la Gloire Tu seras un homme, mon fils
Keepin' The Summer Alive Composer(s): Brian Wilson; Randy Bachman Performer(s): The Beach Boys; Adam Marsland
When it's ice cream weather get the gang back together Roll down your windows and ride They'll be sleepin' in the sand dunes dancin' in the streets They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive (sum sum summer ah live) They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive (ah keep the summer) They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive (sum sum summer alive) They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive (Try to keep the summer)
When it's ice cream weather all the girls will look better The boys try to give them a ride To the one last party 'fore the school bell rings They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive (sum sum summer) They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive (sum sum summer) They're just tryin' to keep t alive) They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive (alive)
Lay down in the sun And watch the clouds roll by And bein' with the one you love In the summertime
When it's last September back in school we'll remember The cure for the wintertime blues Grab your girl hit the road head on down to the beach You'll be comin' home with sand in your shoes
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive (sum sum summer ) They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive (sum sum summer) They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive (sum sum summer) They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive (alive) They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive (yeah yeah uh huh I know we'll keep the summer) We're just tryin' to keep the summer alive (yeah yeah uh huh I know we'll keep the summer) Just tryin' to keep the summer alive (yeah yeah uh huh I know we'll keep the summer) Just tryin' to keep the summer alive (yeah yeah uh huh I know we'll keep the summer) Keep the summer alive (yeah yeah uh huh I know we'll keep the summer) We'll just (yeah yeah uh huh I know we'll keep the summer) Keep the summer alive They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive (yeah yeah uh huh I know we'll keep the summer) Yeah tryin' to keep the summer alive (yeah yeah uh huh I know we'll keep the summer) (yeah yeah uh huh I know we'll keep the summer) (yeah yeah uh huh I know we'll keep the summer) (yeah yeah uh huh I know we'll keep the summer) (yeah yeah uh huh I know we'll keep the summer) (yeah yeah uh huh I know we'll keep the summer)
Gimme A Little Kiss, Will Ya, Huh? Composer(s): Jack Smith - Maceo Pinkard - Roy Turk Performer(s): Dean Martin and multiple other artists
Gimme a little kiss, will 'ya', huh? What are you gonna miss, will ya, huh? Gosh, oh, gee, why do you refuse? I can't see what you gotta lose
Oh, gimme a little squeeze, will 'ya', huh? Why do you wanna make me blue?
I wouldn't say a word if I were asking for the world But what's a little kiss between a fellow and his girl? Oh, gimme a little kiss, will 'ya', huh? And I'll give it right back to you
Will 'ya' huh? Will 'ya' huh?
Once again a plea I'm gonna make But tell me when do I get a break 'Cause say that you're givin' in, will 'ya' huh? Anything that you ask I'll do
I'll take you for a little ride where we can be alone And once you kiss me you'll never think of walkin' home
Oh, gimme a little kiss, will 'ya' huh? Or I'll steal about ten, yes, steal about ten Steal about ten from you

Ieri si, da giovane Il gusto della vita, io lo bruciavo in me Oh ieri si, quand'ero giovane perche' La fiamma trema un po' ma non si spegne mai...
Vivevo tutti i giorni che il cuore suggeriva Avevo dei castelli che ora non ho piu' La notte poi cercavo il sole intorno a me E non vedevo il tempo consumarsi con me...
Ieri si, da giovane cantavo le canzoni Piu' facili per me e nelle mie mani Io credevo che, ci fosse gia' il filo dell'eternita'
Io non chiedevo mai, agli altri intorno a me Qual'e' la verita' la vita che cos'e' Credevo nelle cose che dicevo io Pensavo solo a me e a tutto il resto no...
Ieri si, da giovane La luce di ogni giorno portava una pazzia La forza dell'eta' riempiva i giorni miei E non vedevo mai il vuoto che c'e' in lei..
I giochi dell'amore, io li ho giocati tutti Ho fatto dell'orgoglio la prima mia virtu' Gli amici sono andati non torneranno piu' La mia commedia ormai da solo finiro'
Ho ancora una canzone ma non la cantero' Il gusto della vita non lo ritrovero' E' il tempo di pagare gli errori miei di ieri Da giovane...
Keeping Secrets Composer(s): Alan Pasqua; Todd Sharp Performer(s): Christine McVie
You walk into my life With heartache on your mind It's got me wondering about you The playful innuendo I'm tired of playing games What I see through my window Looks the same
Chorus: Why are we keeping secrets Why don't we both come clean and begin I don't have the heart to hurt again Why are we keeping secrets Why don't we both come closer again We're keeping secrets We're keeping secrets
I don't like playing detective Still I keep finding clues We got to stop pretending And pay the dues Now I can see it coming The writing's on the wall We've got to stop this running Before we fall No, I don't wanna fall
Just a-halfway down the street is where we used to meet, to do our dreaming It was just a vacant lot, but what a lovely spot when stars were gleaming There wasn't too much room there, and roses weren't in bloom there But it still was mighty sweet, just halfway down the street By a sign that says For Sale, we wove a fairy tale, but kept it quiet We were dreaming of the day, we could step right up and say We'll buy it Just by way of showing you that fairy tales come true We'll show you one that all came true If you'll visit us someday, in our cottage halfway down the street
