    I'm Glad You Reconsidered
    Composer(s): Lowell Fulson; Fats Washington
    Performer(s): Lowell Fulson



    I'm glad you reconsidered, baby
    I'm glad you're comin' back home to me
    I'm glad you reconsidered, baby
    I'm glad you're comin' back home to me
    Ever since you been gone
    I been in so much misery

    Tears fell from my eyes
    When your letter said you was on your way
    Like a child I cried
    When you said you was on your way
    You know I felt so good
    When you said you're comin' back home to stay

    I'm gonna be right there
    When your train comes rollin' in
    I'm gonna be right there, baby
    When your train comes rollin' in
    I'm gonna hold you in my arms
    And you please to never leave me again

    Wanna Hear It?

    Even The Bad Times Are Good
    Composer(s): Peter Callander; Mitch Murray
    Performer(s): The Tremeloes



    There are times in this life of mine
    I think that the sun forgot how to shine
    But as long as you're always there
    it don't bother me 'cos why should I care
    when all I've gotta do is run to you

    Even the bad times are good, soon as I get to you baby
    you just gotta hold me and even the bad times are good
    Even the bad times are good, soon as I get to you baby
    you just gotta kiss me and even the bad times are good
    La, la la la la la la,la la
    La, la la la la la la,la la

    When the day seems to drag along
    and all that I do is workin' out wrong
    Still I find that I never cry
    as long as I know that you're standing by
    Then all I've gotta do is run to you

    Chorus

    La, la la la la la la,la la
    La, la la la la la la,la la ...

    I'm Glad There Is You
    Composer(s): Paul Madeira; Jimmy Dorsey
    First release by: Jimmy Dorsey & His Orch. - 1946
    Covered by multiple other artists



    In this world of ordinary people
    Extraordinary people
    I'm glad there is you
    In this world of overrated pleasures
    Of underrated treasures
    I'm glad there is you
    I live to love, I love to live
    With you beside me
    This role so new I'll muddle through
    With you to guide me
    In this world where many, many play at love
    And hardly any stay in love
    I'm glad there is you
    More than ever
    I'm glad there is you

    In this world where many, many play at love
    And hardly any stay in love
    I'm glad there is you
    More than ever
    I'm glad there is you

    Even Now
    Composer(s): Marty Panzer; Barry Manilow
    Performer(s): Barry Manilow



    Even now when there's someone else who cares
    When there's someone home who's waiting just for me
    Even now I think about you as I'm climbing' up the stairs
    And I wonder what to do so she won't see that

    Even now when I know it wasn't right
    And I've found a better life than what we had
    Even now I wake up crying in the middle of the night
    And I can't believe it still could hurt so bad

    Even now when I have come so far
    I wonder where you are,
    I wonder why it's still so hard without you

    Even now when I come shining through, I swear I think of you
    And how I wish you knew, even now

    Even now when I never hear your name
    And the world has changed so much since you've been gone
    Even now I still remember and the feelings still the same
    And this pain inside of me goes on and on, even now

    Even now when I have come so far
    I wonder where you are
    I wonder why it's still so hard without you

    Even now when I come shining' through I swear I think of you
    and God, I wish you knew
    Somehow, even now

    I'm Glad That I'm Bugs Bunny
    Composer(s): Alan Livingston; Warren Foster; Mike Maltese; Billy May
    Performer(s): Mel Blanc



    I got big funny ears, they are so long and flat
    They are the very reasons I never wear a hat
    My teeth stick out in front
    Like pickets in a fence
    And as far as riches go, I'm not worth two cents

    So I'm glad to be the way I am, Who cares if I look funny?
    No matter what the others have, I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!

    Suppose I was an Elephant, then I'd be really sunk
    For every place I'd ever go, I'd have to take my trunk!
    Suppose I was a Zebra, with stripes from head to tail
    I'd bet they'd think that I'd escaped, and throw me back in jail!

    So I'm glad to be the way I am, Who cares if I look funny?
    No matter what the others have, I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!

    Suppose I was a tall Giraffe, and swallowed carrots, yummy!
    With that long neck, I'd surely starve before they reached my tummy
    Suppose I was a big fat pig I might as well be frank
    I wouldn’t care to end up as some kiddie’s piggy bank

    So I'm glad to be the way I am, Who cares if I look funny?
    No matter what the others have, I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!

    What’s up, Doc?

    Suppose I was a smelly skunk, I wouldn’t have a friend
    I’d be alone excepting for, A cent I couldn’t spend
    Suppose I was a ‘Gator in the swamps where time would drag
    Until the day when I’d be made into a travelling bag

    So I'm glad to be the way I am, Who cares if I look funny?
    No matter what the others have, I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!

    Suppose I was a turkey then I’d end up on a tray
    In the middle of the table on the next Thanksgiving Day
    Suppose I was a Bullfrog, croaking out a not
    I’d dread the time when I would be, a frog in someone’s throat!

    So I'm glad to be the way I am, Who cares if I look funny?
    No matter what the others have, I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!

    Even It Up
    Composer(s): Sue Ennis; Ann Wilson; Nancy Wilson
    Performer(s): Heart; Wicked Peach; Nancy Wilson



    "I'm the one who can please you"
    Ain't that what you said
    You seemed so alone
    I guess I was easily led

    I showed you my love
    But I guess that it went to your head
    When you were hungry
    I brought you your breakfast in bed

    Even it up, even it up, even it up
    Even it up, even it up, even it up
    A good man pays his debt
    But you ain't paid yours yet
    Even it
    Even it up

    I took you down over the tracks when
    you wanted some sin
    I brought you satin and herbs from
    the places I been
    Now something tells me you're
    going to use me again
    You think you can lay down the how and
    the where and the when

    Even it up, even it up, even it up
    Even it up, even it up, even it up
    I don't want to bum it all
    But this axe she got to fall
    Even it
    Even it up

    I'm Glad I'm Not Young Anymore
    Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
    Performer(s): Maurice Chevalier



    Poor boy! Poor boy!
    Down-hearted and depressed and in a spin
    Poor boy! Poor boy!
    Oh, youth can really do a fellow in!

    How lovely to sit here in the shade
    With none of the woes of man and maid
    I'm glad I'm not young anymore

    The rivals that don't exist at all
    The feeling you're only two feet tall
    I'm glad that I'm not young anymore

    No more confusion
    No morning-after surprise
    No self-delusion
    That when you're telling those lies
    She isn't wise

    And even if love comes through the door
    The chance that goes on forevermore
    Forevermore is shorter than before
    Oh, I'm so glad that I'm not young anymore

    The tiny remark that tortures you
    The fear that your friends won't like her too
    I'm glad I'm not young anymore
    The longing to end the stale affair
    Until you find out she doesn't care
    I'm glad that I'm not young anymore

    No more frustration
    No star-crossed lover am I
    No aggravation
    Just one reluctant reply
    "Lady, goodbye!"

    The Fountain of Youth is dull as paint
    Methuselah is my patron saint
    I've never been so comfortable before
    Oh, I'm so glad that I'm not young anymore

    Even geduld, de filmlas is gebroken
    Even geduld, er is weer Frans gesproken
    Even geduld, er is een storing in het interludium
    Ohoh (ohoh) ohoh (ohoh)
    Daar zwemt mijn leading lady in het aquarium
    Even geduld, ze zegt ons weer wat liefs
    Even geduld, om tien uur volgt het nieuws

    Ik kijk al jaren 's avonds naar de televisie
    En de programma's vind ik lang niet mis
    Als ik m'n ogen toedoe zou ik durven zweren
    Dat het precies een echte radio is

    Een keer heb ik de antenne gans verkeerd verbonden
    Toen zijn de schipper, Penelope en Armand Pien
    Te zien geweest zodra m'n vrouw ging wassen
    In 't ruitje van haar wasmachien

    Even geduld, de filmlas is gebroken
    Even geduld, er is weer Frans gesproken
    Even geduld, er is een storing in het interludium

    Lalala...

    Ohoh (ohoh) ohoh (ohoh)

    Even geduld, ze zegt ons weer wat liefs
    Even geduld, om tien uur volgt het nieuws
    Even geduld, heb je m'n lied gehoord
    Even geduld, kijk dan maar lekker voort

    I’m Glad I Met You After All
    Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
    Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



    It was spring time when I first met you
    The stars above were shinning through
    I took one glance and then I let you…
    Just steal my heart…
    You knew it too

    You smiled at me so sweet and tender
    It flushed my face just like the sun
    I could not tell were it would end Dear
    But I knew then it had begun

    Let people say just what they like Dear
    It does not matter now at all
    Deep down inside I know I love you
    I'm Glad I Met You After All

    I guess it was not meant to be Dear
    Because I found you much too late
    And if it was the plans got mixed Dear
    So we must suffer the mistake

    Your memory I will keep forever
    Locked within a heart that pines
    But where the world can never touch it
    It’s all I have but it is mine

    Let people say just what they like Dear
    It does not matter now at all
    Deep down inside I know I love you
    I'm Glad I Met You After All

    She's a rounder I can tell you that
    She can sing 'em all night, too
    She'll raise hell about the sleep she lost
    But even cowgirls get the blues

    Especially cowgirls, they're the gypsy kind
    And need their laid on 'em loose
    She's lived to see the world turned upside down
    Hitchin' rides out of the blues

    But even cowgirls get the blues sometimes
    Bound to don't know what to do sometimes
    Get this feelin' like she's too far gone
    The only way she's ever been

    Lonely nights are out there on the road
    Motel ceiling stares you down
    There must be safer ways to pay your dues
    But even cowgirls get the blues

    Even cowgirls get the blues sometime
    Bound to don't know what to do sometimes
    Get this feelin' like she's too far gone
    The only way she's ever been

    Even cowgirls get the blues sometime
    Bound to don't know what to do sometimes
    Get this feelin' like the restless wind
    The only way she's ever been

    But really I don't mind

    I'm getting tired so I can sleep
    I want to sleep so I can dream
    I want to dream so I can be with you

    I've got your picture by my bed
    'Twill soon be placed beneath my head
    To keep me company the whole night through

    For a little while, whatever befalls
    I will see your smile till reveille calls

    I hope you're tired enough to sleep
    And please sleep long enough to dream
    And look for me for I'll be dreaming too

    Even Cowboys Like A Little Rock & Roll
    Composer(s): Chris LeDoux
    Performer(s): Chris LeDoux



    Well now cowboys love the ladies
    They like beans and sourdough
    Good horses and hot black coffee
    And campfires burnin' low
    You know we love that cowboy music
    But I'll bet you didn't know
    That even cowboys like just a little
    Rock & roll

    Chorus
    Even cowboys like a little bit of rock & roll
    Yeah we all got some boogie woogie in our soul
    There's a little bit of Buddy Holly
    (Chuck Berry) (Charlie Daniels)
    In every cowboy that I know
    And even cowboys like a little bit of rock & roll

    Now when your camped out on the prairie
    And that ole moon is shinin' bright
    You can hear those cattle bawlin' soft 'n low
    There's nothin' like a cowboy's song to make it all feel just right
    But even cowboys like a little bit rock & roll

    Chorus

    Now those old buckaroos are set in their ways
    And they'll even tell you so
    Say they don't like nothin' but them old time cowboy songs
    Yeah but I've seen the green grass growin'
    Underneath that winter snow
    I'll bet them old cowboys even like a little rock & roll

    Chorus

    Yeah there's a little long hair
    In every single cowboy that I know
    And even cowboys like a little bit of rock & roll

    Oh how I cried when you told me goodbye
    Clouds hid the sun in the sky
    And oh, how I pleaded and begged you to stay
    But my heart is diff'rent to day

    You didn't care tho' you made me believe
    That you could never deceive
    Perhaps you are sorry and want me again
    But now you would call me in vain

    I'm getting so now I don't worry
    I'm getting so now I don't care
    When my heart was aching I tried to be game
    And let everybody think I was to blame
    I loved you so much when I lost you
    I thought I would die of despai
    But old dreams fade away
    And I thank God to day
    I'm getting so now I don't care

    Performer(s): Ron Dante



    I know the place is just a mess
    I guess I kinda let things slide
    'Cause you were gone I didn't care
    I only know I hurt inside

    And now you ask if I still care for you
    Even after, even after, you went off with someone new...

    (chorus)
    Even after (even after)
    I still want you like before
    I forgive you, even after
    You found new arms to explore
    Starting needing, hoping, praying you would walk back through that
    door
    Even after, even after
    And maybe even more

    A million questions in my mind
    With answers I don't wanna find
    I only know you're here again
    And life can be what life was then

    Can't run away 'cause there's no place to hide
    I am helpless, 'cause my love for you goes deeper than my pride

    (repeat chorus)

    Even after, even after
    And maybe even more

    Oh, I never thought I'd fall

    All the thoughtful little things you say and do
    That thrill me through and through
    I'm getting sentimental over you
    I thought I was happy
    I could live without love
    Now I must admit that love is all I'm thinking off
    Baby, won't you please be kind
    And just make up your mind
    That you'll be sweet and gentle
    Be gentle with me
    Because I'm sentimental over you

    Because I'm sentimental over you

    Oh, I can't stand much more of this

    Love I think is tommy rot
    girls are such a funny lot
    Only one my manly fancy seems to please
    But without the least excuse
    With me she can raise the deuce
    For the little villain is a fearful tease
    Always messing me about
    Till I want to shout

    I could win a score of them
    Then I'd win some more of them
    But upon my soul, I think I'm too blase!
    Just this one girl seems to start
    Little twitters round my heart
    Doctor diagnosed the case as "love" today
    It is such a fearful bore
    I'll have to say once more

    Oh, Evelyn, oh, Evelyn
    You'll have to quit your devilin'!
    You tease and antalize me so
    You've surely got me "on the go!"
    Oh Evelyn, Oh Evelyn
    Just mind what you're about
    If you are on the level in the game you seem to revel in
    Oh Evelyn quit your devilin'
    Just cut it out

    I walked by the river
    Where we said good-bye
    Thought of your kisses
    And didn't even cry
    I'm gettin' better, I'm gettin' better

    I talked with an old friend
    he asked about you
    I managed to tell him
    With just a tear or two
    I'm gettin' better, I'm gettin' better

    I know I'll never be the same
    I was standin' too close to the flame
    But it doesn't hurt so much
    To hear your name
    I think I'll make it -- I'm gettin' better

    Eve Wasn't Modest Till She Ate That Apple
    (We'll Have To Pass The Apples Again)
    Composer(s): Chas. McCarron; Albert Von Tilzer



    Everybody loves a girl who's modest
    Everybody loves a girl who's shy
    When a girl is modest and retiring
    You can bet she'll always get by
    Modesty began in the garden of Eden
    In every book you'll find
    I'll admit it started in the Garden of Eden
    But just bear this in mind

    Just suppose that every girl was modest
    Just suppose that every girl was shy
    There would be no dust when days are windy
    To blow right in the naughty man's eye
    We'd have better business in our marriage market
    Each man would surely mate
    When they start proposing they can see what they're getting
    That's why some hesitate

    Eve wasn't modest till she ate that apple
    That old apple to blame
    The minute that she ate it
    she felt humiliated and hid behind the apple tree till darkness came
    If one little apple made the first girl modest
    It ought to work now as well as then
    Once they only wore a leaf
    Clothes are getting just as brief
    If every mother's daughter, wears dresses any shorter
    We'll have to pass the apples again

    Eve wasn't modest till she ate that apple
    That old apple to blame
    The minute that she ate it
    she felt humiliated and hid behind the apple tree till darkness came
    If one little apple made the first girl modest
    It ought to work now as well as then
    Way back in the olden days
    Men were fooled by girlie ways
    For then we never knew them
    but now we see right through them
    We'll have to pass the apples again

    I'm From Outer Space
    Composer(s): Shel Silverstein; Even Stevens
    Performer(s): Even Stevens



    Well, I know this may surprise you, for you've known me for so long
    But I've tricked you with my music, and I've fooled you with my song
    But my mission here is over, and I've watched the Human Race
    And now the truth can be revealed, I'm from Outer Space

    And my given name is Gilpage, and I'm really 2 foot 8
    And when you think you've shook my hand, you've really slapped my face
    And I'm the son of the seventh Zorb, from a distant dying race
    Sent to see if it was safe, for us from Outer Space

    But I'm leaving in the mornin' on a Q-Electra-Blue
    I'll hang a right at Jupiter on the far side of the Moon
    And I'll stand before the Elders and they'll ask me of this place
    And if the Earth could be a home for folks from Outer Space

    But I'll tell 'em how you love to fight and how you love to war
    And how you never seem to learn from mistakes you made before
    And I'll tell 'em how you treat the old and what you teach the young
    And how you've melted down your plows and turned them into guns

    So it's been real fine to know you, but I'll soon be with my own
    And I guess we'll take our chances, and leave your world alone
    And perhaps we'll even meet again, in another time and place
    But this ain't a healthy atmosphere for folks from Outer Space

    So I'm leaving in the mornin' on a Q-Electra-Blue
    And I'll hang a right at Jupiter on the far side of the Moon
    And I'll stand before the Elders and when they'll ask me of this place
    I'll tell 'em that there ain't no room for folks from Outer Space

    Eve Of Destruction
    Composer(s): P.F. Sloan
    Performer(s): Barry McGuire



    The eastern world, it is explodin’
    Violence flarin’, bullets loadin’
    You’re old enough to kill, but not for votin’
    You don’t believe in war, but what’s that gun you’re totin’
    And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin’

    But you tell me
    Over and over and over again, my friend
    Ah, you don’t believe
    We’re on the eve
    of destruction

    Don’t you understand what I’m tryin’ to say
    Can’t you feel the fears I’m feelin’ today?
    If the button is pushed, there’s no runnin’ away
    There’ll be no one to save, with the world in a grave
    Take a look around you boy
    It’s bound to scare you boy

    And you tell me
    Over and over and over again, my friend
    Ah, you don’t believe
    We’re on the eve
    of destruction

    Yeah, my blood’s so mad feels like coagulatin’
    I’m sitting here just contemplatin’
    You can’t twist the truth, it knows no regulation.
    Handful of senators don’t pass legislation
    And marches alone can’t bring integration
    When human respect is disintegratin’
    This whole crazy world is just too frustratin’

    And you tell me
    Over and over and over again, my friend
    Ah, you don’t believe
    We’re on the eve
    of destruction

    Think of all the hate there is in Red China
    Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama
    You may leave here for 4 days in space
    But when you return, it’s the same old place
    The poundin’ of the drum, the pride and disgrace
    You can bury your dead, but don’t leave a trace
    Hate your next-door neighbor, but don’t forget to say prayers

    And… tell me over and over and over and over again, my friend
    You don’t believe
    We’re on the eve
    Of destruction
    Mm, no no, you don’t believe
    We’re on the eve of destruction
