If I Had A Million Dollars Composer(s): Matty Malneck; Johnny Mercer Performer(s): The Boswell Sisters and multiple other artists
Castles with their thrones Ships upon the sea Gold and precious stones All belong to me Foolish though it seems Every word is true Though they're only my own dreams My dreams belong to you
If I had a million dollars I know just what I would do I'd tie a string around the World And bring all of it to you Those little things you pray for Whatever they may be I'd have enough to pay for Them all, C.O.D
If I spent a million dollars I know I would never care Because as long as you were mine I'd still be a millionaire That's why I'm always dreaming Dreaming of what I would do If I had a million dollars for you
If I had a million dollars I know just what I would do I would tie a string around the World And bring all of it to you Those little things you pray for Whatever they may be I'd have enough to pay for Them all, C.O.D
If I spent a million dollars I know I would never care Because as long as you were mine I'd still be a millionaire That's why I'm always dreaming Dreaming of what I would do If I had a million dollars for you
Karn Evil 9: 3rd Impression Composer(s): Emerson, Lake & Palmer Performer(s): Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Man alone; born of stone Will stamp the dust of time His hands strike the flame of his soul Ties a rope to a tree and hangs the Universe Until the winds of laughter blows cold
Fear that rattles in men's ears And rears it's hideous head Dread .... Death .... in the wind ....
Man of steel pray and kneel With fever's blazing torch Thrust in the face of the night Draws a blade if compassion Kissed by countless Kings Whose jewelled trumpet words blind his sight
Walls that no man thought would fall The altars of the just Crushed .... Dust .... in the wind ....
No man yields who flies in my ship Danger! Let the bridge computer speak Stranger! Load your program I am yourself
No computer stands in my way Only blood can cancel my pain Guardians of a new clear dawn Let the maps of war be drawn
Rejoice! Glory is ours! Our young men have not died in vain Their graves need no flowers The tapes have recorded their names
I am all there is Negative! Primitive! Limited! I let you live! But I gave you life What else could you do? To do what was right I'm perfect! Are you?

If I Had A Girl Like You Composer(s): Phil Parke; Harry Parr-Davies Performer(s): George Formby
If I wasn't me, but a different sort of chap What a romeo I'd be I'd be able to see it's an awful handicap When a guy's as shy as me What happiness might come my way If I could just speak up and say
I'll bet I could work wonders, seems too good to be true I could be a 'b' marvel if I had a girl like you Single handed I'd rescue ship and captain and crew I'd be number one hero if I had a girl like you
I'd spend my leisure finding hidden treasure No one could measure the things that I do In the stormiest weather I could eat a pie stew I'd become a real sailor if I had a girl like you
I could do without moonlight and give the stars a rest too I'd be warm in a snowstorm if I had a girl like you All the radio programmes would be strictly taboo They could keep their old brains trust if I had a girl like you
I'd never long for meals they ring a gong for The shows they throng for I never would view, I'm telling you I'd have pennies from heaven, I could live in a shoe They could take me clothes coupons if I had a girl like you
Kashmir
Composer(s): John Bonham; John Paul Jones;
Jimmy Page; Robert Plant;
and various other artists
Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
Stars to fill my dreams
I am a traveler of both time and space
To be where I have been
Secret elders of a gentle race
This world is seldom seen
Talk of days for which they sit and wait
All will be revealed
Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace
Whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate
The story was quite clear
Whoa-oh-hoh, whoa-oh-wa-oh
Oooh, oh baby, I been flyin'
Lord, yeah, mama, there ain't no denyin'
Oh, oooh yes, I've been flying
Mama ma, ain't no denyin', no denyin'
Oh, all I see turns to brown
As the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand
As I scan this wasted land
Tryin' to find, tryin' to find where I beeeeen-ahhh-ahhhh
Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
Like thoughts inside a dream
Heed the path that led me to that place
Yellow desert screen
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon
I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in June
When movin' through Kashmir
Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails
Across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face
'Long the straits of fear
Wha-oh, wha-oh
Whaoh-oh, oh
Ohhhh
Well, when I want, when I'm on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way, you stay, yeah
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, yes
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there
Oh, oh, come on, come on
Oh, let me take you there
Let me take you there
Whoo-ooh, yeah-yeah, whoo-ooh, yeah-yeah, let me take you
You Started Something Composer(s): Al Rinker; Floyd Huddleston Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney and multiple other artists
You were just passing by, but you started something I may never know why, but you started something With your glance a new romance was in the making Just like the sun starts the flowers to waking I knew all about love, I said this can't happen But then you came along and caught my heart napping Now each hour and each new day will always be spring `Cause you really started something
I knew all about love, I said this can't happen But then you came along and caught my heart napping Now each hour and each new day will always be spring `Cause you really started something
Kathy's Song
Composer(s): Paul Simon
First release by: Paul Simon
and multiple other artists
I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls
And from the shelter of my mind
Through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets
To a land where my heart lies
My mind's distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep
And kiss you when you start your day
And a song I was writing is left undone
I don't know why I spend my time
Writing songs I can't believe
With words that tear and strain to rhyme
And so you see I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you
And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go I
Katmandu
Composer(s): Bob Seger
Performer(s): Bob Seger
I think I'm going to Katmandu
that's really, really where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
that's what I'm gonna do
K-K-K-K-K-Katmandu
I think that's where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
I'm going to Katmandu
I got no kick against the west coast
Warner Brothers are such good hosts
I raise my whiskey glass and give them a toast
I'm sure they know it's true
I got no rap against the southern states
Every time I've been there it's been great
But now I'm leaving and I can't be late
and to myself be true
That's why I'm going to Katmandu
up to the mountains where I'm going to
And if I ever get out of here
that's what I'm gonna do
K-K-K-K-K-Katmandu
that's really, really where I'm going to
oh, if I ever get out of here I'm going to Katmandu
I got no quarrel with the midwest
the folks out there have given me their best
I lived there all my life, I've been their guest
I sure have loved it, too
I'm tired of looking at the TV news
I'm tired of driving hard and paying dues
I figure, baby, I've got nothing to lose
I'm tired of being blue
That's why I'm going to Katmandu
up to the mountains where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
that's what I'm gonna do
K-K-K-K-K-Katmandu
take me, baby, 'cause I'm going with you
If I ever get out of here
I'm going to Katmandu
I ain't got nothing 'gainst the east coast
You want some people where they got the most
And new york city's like a friendly ghost
you seem to pass right through
I know I'm gonna miss the USA
I guess I'll miss it every single day
But no one loves me here anyway
I know my playing is through
That's why I'm going to Katmandu
up to the mountains where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
that's what I'm gonna do
K-K-K-K-K-Katmandu
really, really going to
if I ever get out of here
if I ever get out of here
if I ever get out of here
I'm going to Katmandu
If I Give You My Love Composer(s): Herbert Leventhal Performer(s): Ray Charles and multiple other artists
If I give you my love, what will you give in return If I give you my love, will you cause my heart to yearn And will it bring me sadness, with so many tears And will it bring me gladness, all through out the years
If I give you my word, will you give me your word too If I vow to yours, promise me that you'll be true Am I playing with fire, tell me are you concerned If I give you my love what will you give in return
Am I playing with fire, tell me are you concerned If I give you my love, what will you give in return
Katy
Theme from the TV Show "The Ann Sothern Show"
Composer(s): Bonnie Lake; Ann Sothern
Katy, all the fellahs fall for Katy
'Cause Katy (wolf whistle) is the gal they adore
Katy, they'll give their all for Katy
'Cause Katy (wolf whistle) makes 'em whistle for more
She'll out-twinkle any star above
When you see her passin' by
Just one look and they all fall in love
She's the apple of their eye
Oh my, Katy
Katy, all the fellahs call for Katy
'Cause Katy (wolf whistle) is the gal they adore
They want more, more, more, more, more
Of Katy
If I Give My Soul Composer(s): Billy Joe Shaver First release by: Billy Joe Shaver - 1993 Covered by multiple other artists
Down a dangerous road, I have come to where I'm standing With a heavy heart, and my hat clutched in my hand Such a foolish fool, God ain't known no greater sinner I have come in search of Jesus, hoping he will understand
I had a woman once, she was kind and she was gentle Had a child by me, who grew up to be a man I had a steady job, till I started into drinking And I started making music that went with the devil's band
Oh the years flew by like a mighty rush of eagles My dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind It's a lonesome life, when you lose the ones you live for If I make my peace with Jesus will they take me back again
If I give my soul, will he cleanse these clothes i'm wearin' If I give my soul, will he put new boots on my feet If I bow my head and beg God for his forgiveness Will he breathe new breath inside me and give back my dignity
If I give my soul, will he stop my hands from shaking If I give my soul, will my son love me again If I give my soul, and she knows I really mean it If I give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again
If I give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again
Katy
Composer(s): Marc Aryan
Performer(s): Marc Aryan
Ô! Katy, Katy
Je revois souvent
Ce petit coin discret
Dans ce vieux restaurant
L'air, près de la mer
Les rumeurs du port
Dispensaient à la nuit
Bien plus de charme encore!
Je t'aimais, Katy
Je t'aimais déjà
Mais tous les mots d'amour
Restaient au fond de moi
Par délicatesse, Katy
Pour un premier soir
Et parce je pensais
Qu'on pourrait se revoir
Maintenant Katy
Que je suis parti
Vers d'autres horizons
Si loin de ton pays
Je puis te le dire, Katy
Même le gai soleil
De mon midi
N'a pas chassé ton nom
Si doux, du fond de mon esprit!
Katy Daley Composer(s): Ralp Stanley Performer(s): The Stanley Brothers: Roy Lee Centers; The Lonesome River Band
With her old man she came from Tiperary In the pioneering days of '42 Her old man was shot in tombstone City For the making of his good old mountain dew
Come on down the mountain Katy Daley Come on down the mountain Katy do Can't you hear us calling Katy Daley We want to drink your good old mountain dew
Wake up and pay attention Katy Daley For I'm the judge that's gonna sentence you All the boys in court have drunk your whiskey To tell the truth I like a little too
So to the jail they took poor Katy Daley But pretty soon the gates were open wide Angels came for poor ole Katy Daley Took her far across the great divide
If I Fell (French Version: Si Je Te Donne Mon Coeur - 1992) Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney First release by: The Beatles - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
If I fell in love with you Would you promise to be true And help me understand 'cause I've been in love before And I found that love was more Than just holding hands
If I give my heart to you I must be sure From the very start That you would love me more than her
If I trust in you oh please Don't run and hide If I love you too oh please Don't hurt my pride like her 'cause I couldn't stand the pain And I would be sad if our new love was in vain
So I hope you see that I Would love to love you And that she will cry When she learns we are two 'cause I couldn't stand the pain And I would be sad if our new love was in vain
So I hope you see that I Would love to love you And that she will cry When she learns we are two If I fell in love with you
Katy Did Composer(s): Porter Wagoner Performer(s): Porter Wagoner
Two sisters lived alone out in the country Their names were Katy and her sister Liz They farmed to raise the food that graced their table Liz never went to town but Katy did
Katy went to town each Saturday morning To sell the eggs and buy for her and Liz Their only needs just some salt and sugar They grew the rest, her and sister Liz
Liz never went to town like Katy did Liz never knew a man, but Katy did For I saw them one evening when they thought they were hid And you should've seen the things that him and Katy did
I walked by Liz and Katy's house each evening Through the woods on my way home from school Then one evening Katy smiled and spoke so softly As I stood there blushing like a fool
Then she asked me if I'd like to have some cookies That she baked for her and sister Liz Then as Katy took me in their kitchen I never closed the door, but Katy did
She took my hand and my heart beat so wildly It sound like coffee a perking with no lid And I shook so bad, I even dropped my cookies I didn't know of love, but Katy did
Liz never knew a man, but Katy did She said it's lonely here with sister Liz But I just kept on eatin' cookies, I was just a dumb kid I wish I'd known of love back then like Katy did
Oh, I wish I'd known of love back then like Katy did
If I Ever Make You Cry Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David Performer(s): Dionne Warwick
If I ever make you cry Long as I live, may my eyes never smile again If I ever make you cry All through my life May my lips never laugh again And if you should find that I Have been untrue, may I never spend a happy day And may I never hear, somebody say Tender word (like I love you) A tender voice (say I need you) I make a vow, right here and now That I will live To love you
If I ever make you cry Long as I live, may the world turn away from me If I ever make you cry - even once All through my life, may my dreams never come to be And if I should ever Ever Break your heart May I never, see the sun appear And may I go through life, and never hear ah! Tender voice, (say I love you), your precious voice Say I need you Come to my arms, my waiting arms, and softly say You love Me!
Katy Did, Katy Didn't From the film "Mr. Bug Goes To Town" Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael; Frank Loesser Performer(s: George Formby; The Four Marshals, Stan Freed & Pauline Loth
There's a burning, burning question
concerning Katy Brown And there's a bit of a suggestion
on the way they talk in town
Who came to Sunday school with cherries on her lids Katy did, (Katy didn't,) Katy did, (Katy didn't) Katy did, (Katy didn't), Oh, she did
And who kissed the banker's boy and ran away and hid Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy did, (Katy didn't) Katy did, (Katy didn't), Oh, she did
Gracious what a scandal, every other girl would cry She can't hold a candle to somebody such as I
But who got the banker's boy and fifty thousand quid Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy did, (Katy didn't) You can bet your life she did
And who made the football team break training in the spring Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy did, (Katy didn't) Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy didn't do a thing
And who dubbed the candy man for candy all the time Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy did, (no she didn't) (She did), She didn't need a dime
Gracious ain't it awful, all the other girls would wail Really it's unlawful why she ought to go to jail
But who got the banker's boy, the tall and handsome kid Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy did, (Katy didn't) You can bet your life she did
Now who plays the clarinet and makes the darned thing wail And who blows the trombone and he tells a woeful tale
Gracious ain't it awful, all the other band boys shout He can't blow his trumpet now it's time to throw him out
And who plays the uke and nearly busted all his strings (Georgie did), Georgie didn't, (Georgie did), No I didn't You can bet your life he did
