I'm Gonna Hire A Wino To Decorate Our Home
Composer(s): DeWayne Blackwell
Performer(s): David Frizzell



I came crawling home last night, like many nights before
I finally made it to my feet as she opened up the door
And she said, "You're not gonna do this anymore"

She said, "I'm gonna hire a wino to decorate our home
So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam
We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall
And a neon sign, to point the way to our bathroom down the hall"

She said, "Just bring your Friday paycheck, and I'll cash them all right here
And I'll keep on tap, for all your friends, their favorite kinds of beer
And for you, I'll always keep in stock, those soft aluminum cans
And when you're feeling macho, you can crush them like a man"

She said, "We'll rip out all the carpet, and put sawdust on the floor
Serve hard boiled eggs and pretzels, and I won't cook no more
There'll be Monday night football on T.V. above the bar
And a pay phone in the hallway, when your friends can't find their car"

She said, "I'm gonna hire a wino to decorate our home
So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam
We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall
And a neon sign, to point the way to our bathroom down the hall"

She said, "You'll get friendly service, and for added atmosphere
I'll slip on something sexy, and I'll cut it clear to here
Then you can slap my bottom every time you tell a joke
Just as long as you keep tipping, well, I'll laugh until you're broke"

She said, "Instead of family quarrels, we'll have a bar-room brawl
When the Ham's bear say's its closing time, you won't have far to crawl
And when you run out of money, you'll have me to thank
You can sleep it off next morning, when I'm putting it in the bank"

She said, "I'm gonna hire a wino to decorate our home
So you can feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam
When you and your friends get off from work, and have a powerful thirst
There won't be any reason, why you can't stop off here first"

She said, "I'm gonna hire a wino to decorate our home
So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam
We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall
And a neon sign, to point the way to our bathroom down the hall"

Ev'ryday I love you just a little bit more

I'm Gonna Have To Tell Her
Composer(s): Homer Banks; Carl Hampton; Raymond Jackson
Performer(s): Isaac Hayes



I'm gonna have to tell her
I just can't help myself
I'll suffer the consequences
I'm to a point
I just dont' care

I've fallen in love with you
And I got to let her know
If leaving her means keeping you
Then I've got to let her go

Thats why ...
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over now

I've got to try and tell the kids
In a way they'll understand
That sometimes these things
Can happen to a man

I'm hung up on you girl
So much until it hurts
The more I see of you
The less I wanna see of her

I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over now

I'm a hung up on your love
So much until it hurts
The more I see of you
The less I wanna see of her

That's why
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over now

I didn't mean
To let this thing get so strong.. no
Sometimes when you're merry in love
You can't tell right from wrong

I'm gonna have to tell her
I've slipped and fell in love
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over

Got to try and tell the kids
Daddy won't be coming home
I'm gonna have to tell her
She's gonna be sleeping all alone

God give me strength
I don't want to make her cry
But I've got to tell her
Just cant tell her no more lies

I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over now
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over now

Every Day Another Hair Turns Grey
Composer(s): Mike Hugg
Performer(s): Manfred Mann



In her house, happy she seems
But she's living on mem'ries and dreams
How she dearly longs to recover
Her life when she was a young mother
And ev'ry day another hair turns grey
Yes, ev'ry day another hair turns grey

In her house as mother and wife
She was leading an ordin'ry life
Now she finds so much is missing
Gone is the love, the laughter and kissing
And ev'ry day another hair turns grey
Yes, ev'ry day another hair turns grey

Her children are all married now
She misses so the noise and row
That children make....
(Sound of children playing)

In her house she looks to the past
When first married, the loving was fast
And her husband, once a good lover
Now he seems to be more like a brother
And ev'ry day another hair turns grey
Yes, ev'ry day another hair turns grey

And ev'ry day another hair turns grey
Yes, ev'ry day another hair turns grey

Ev'ry day

I'm Gonna Go Fishin'
Composer(s): Duke Ellington; Peggy Lee
Performer(s): Peggy Lee
and multiple other artists



Woke up this morning
Wanting to cry
Then I remember
Yes I know why
She's a real good one for having her cake
I'm gonna go fishing or jump in the lake

Yeah, I'm gonna go fishing
That's what I'll do
Think about nothing
Not even you
Catch a real big one, a big speckled trout
Snapping in the water I'll pull him on out

Sweet talking liar
Spin me a yarn
Tell me a story
Big as a barn
Don't stop listening I won't hear you out
I'm gonna go fishing and catch me a trout

If a gal is a liar
A gal is a fool
Playing for keepers
and breaking the rules
She'll be the loser, yet to find out
I'm gonna go fishing and catch me a trout

Here in the water
Look at him shine
There goes a big one
That one is mine
Catch up the reel now, I've got the feel now
Hooked onto my fly rod I've got me a trout

Sweet talking liar
You're in for a fall
You tell me a story
You cut to the wall
Don't go my way, I'm down the highway
I'm gonna go fishing...
Yes I'm gonna go fishing...
Yes I'm gonna go fishing and get me some trout

I'm Gonna Get Married
Composer(s): Harold Logan; Lloyd Price
Performer(s): Lloyd Price



(Johnny, Johnny, Johnny)
(Johnny, you're too young) 
But I'm gonna get married
(You're so young) 
My name she'll carry
(You're too young, and Johnny, you're so smart) 
But not smart enough to hide an aching heart

How come my heart deserts me, burning full of love and desire? 
How come every time she kisses me, it sets my soul on fire?
How come every time she leaves me, it seems like I've lost a part? 
I may be too young to marry but not to hide an aching heart

(Johnny, you're too young) 
But I'm gonna get married
(You're so young) 
My name she'll carry
(You're too young, and Johnny, you're so smart) 
But not smart enough to hide an aching heart

How come every time she kisses me, it thrills me from head to toe? 
How come every time I see her, it lifts me right off the floor?
How come every time I'm with her she whispers so soft and low? 
It makes me want to jump and holler and bump my head into a door

(Johnny, you're too young) 
But I'm gonna get married
(You're so young) 
My name she'll carry
(You're too young, and Johnny, you're so smart) 
But not smart enough to hide an aching heart

(Too young) 
But I'm gonna get married
(You're so young) 
My name she'll carry
(You're too young) 
But I'm gonna get married
(You're so young) 
My name she'll carry
(You're too young)

Every breath you take 
Every move you make 
Every bond you break 
Every step you take 
I'll be watching you 

Every single day 
Every word you say 
Every game you play 
Every night you say

You belong to me 
How my poor heart aches 
With every step you take 

Every move you make 
Every vow you break 
Every smile you fake 
Every claim you stake 
I'll be watching you 

Since you've gone I been lost without a trace 
I dream at night I can only see your face 
I look around but it's you I can't replace 
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace 
I keep crying baby, baby, please 

O can't you see 
You belong to me 
How my poor heart aches 
With every breath you take 

Every move you make 
Every vow you break

I'm Gonna Get Lit Up (When The Lights Go On In London)
Composer(s): Hubert Gregg
Performer(s): Carroll Gibbons; Joe Loss & His Orch.



I'm gonna get lit up when the light go up in London
I'm gonna get lit up as I've never been before
You will find me on the tiles
You will find me wreathed in smiles
I'm gonna get so lit up I'll be visible for miles
The city will sit up when the lights go up in London
We'll all be lit up as the Strand was only more, much more
And before the plot is played out
They will fetch the fire brigade out
To the lit-est up-est scene you ever saw

Performer(s): Gene Pitney;
Barry Holdship; Gene Miller



(dip-dip, dooba bop bop) (dip-dip, dooba bop bop)
I hardly ever thank the stars above
For sending me your very precious love
You never hear me say a prayer
Of thanks to someone 'way up there
Who gave me such a lucky *break*

Oh, no, darling
Only with ev'ry breath I take

And every time we have to be apart
I hardly ever find you in my heart
And when it comes to thinking of
The thought of losing all your love
I never worry how my heart would ache

Oh, no, darling
Only with ev'ry breath I *take*
Only with ev'ry little step I *make*
Only with ev'ry little beat of my *heart*
And ev'ry single minute I'm *awake*

Oh, no, darling
Only with ev'ry breath I *take*
Only with ev'ry little step I *make*
Only with ev'ry little beat of my *heart*
And ev'ry single minute I'm awake

Oh-aah, ev'ry little breath I take
Ev'ry little step I *make*
Ah, ah, ah, ah, uh, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ev'ry breath I take

I'm Gonna File My Claim
Composer(s): Ken Darby; Lionel Newman
Performer(s): Marilyn Monroe; Twentieth Century Fox Orch.



I've looked around the country and I've seen it all
and what I want I'm ready to name
It's big and strong and handsome and it's 6 feet tall
I'm gonna file my claim
I've struck a real bonanza and he's rough and rash
but what he's got I'm ready to tame
He's worth a fancy fortune but it's not in cash
I'm gonna file my claim!
I got the fever, ooh, the fever, but not for gold in the ground
I want the title to something vital that I can throw my fences around
A girl should never hustle with a pick and pan to dig for gold
that isn't her game
I'll find the man who found it then I'll get that man
who's gonna help me file my claim?
I'm gonna file my claim
Ooh, looking for nuggets? 
Ooh, mush!
A, B, C, D, who's gonna file me under love?
There ain't a man, not a single man!
There ain't a man alive who wouldn't trade his gold
for what it takes to stay in the game
So have you fun and spend before you get too old
Who's gonna help me file my claim?
Who's gonna help me, help, help me
who's gonna help me file my claim ... tonight

There's a beat for you

Eversleep
Composer(s): Richard Gibbs; Loudon Wainwright III
Performer(s): Loudon Wainwright III



I'd rather be dreaming than living
Living's just too hard to do
It's chances not choices
Noises not voices
A day's just a thing to get through
Living's just too hard to do

I'd rather be dreaming than talking
There's nothing to hear or to say
With ears covered, mouth closed
The world is opposed
Nothing gets in or away
There's nothing to hear ot to say

I'd rather be dreaming than thinking
Thoughts are small comfort to me
Dreams might be pretend
But at least dreams end
And I just can't stop thinking, you see
Thoughts are small comfort to me

I'd rather be dreaming than sleeping
Just sleeping you're just as well dead
In dreams I can fly, in dreams I don't die
That's why I lie here in this bed
Just sleeping you're just as well dead

I'd rather be dreaming...

You can bet your life, baby, bet your life

Hold you far (cool your fire ?) and listen mister
Don't cause no trouble for my brother and sister
Why don't you look me in the face
Either that or leave my place
I'm gonna change the world, baby
I'm gonna change the world, waah yeah!
I'll switch the wrong to right (her on to right ?)
You can bet your life, baby, bet your life, my life yeah!

Forget about what your folks told you
Make up your mind just what you wanna do
Just accept people for what they are
Or this old world won't get very far
I'm gonna change the world, baby
I'm gonna change the world, oh yeah!
I'll switch the wrong to right (her on to right ?)
You can bet your life, bet your life

I've got a woman, I love her, lordy lord

and various other artists



Hearts gone astray, keeping up when they go 
I went away, just when you, you need me so 
You won't regret, I'll come back begging you 
Don't you forget, welcome love we once knew 

Open up your eyes, then you'll realize 
Here I stand with my, everlasting love 
Need you by my side, girl to be my pride 
You'll never be denied, everlasting love 
From the very start, open up your heart 
Be a lasting part of everlasting love 

Real love to last forever 
Real love to last forever 

Where life really flows, no one really knows 
Till someone's there to show the way to lasting love 
Like the sun it shines, endlessly it shines 
You always will be mine, with eternal love 
Whenever love went wrong, ours would still be strong 
We'd have our very own, everlasting love 

Real love to last forever 
Real love to last forever 

Open up your eyes, then you'll realize 
Here I stand with my, everlasting love 
Need you by my side, girl to be my pride 
You'll never be denied, everlasting love 
From the very start, open up your heart 
Be a lasting part of everlasting love 
Whenever love went wrong, ours would still be strong 
We'd have our very own, everlasting love
