I'm Through With Love Composer(s): Fud Livingston; Matty Malneck; Gus Kahn Performer(s): Marilyn Monroe and multiple other artists
I have given you my true love But you love a new love What am I supposed to do now With you now, you're through? You'll be on your merry way And there's only this to say
I'm through with love I'll never fall again Said adieu to love Don't ever call again For I must have you or no one Because I'm through with love
I've locked my heart I'll keep my feelings there I have stocked my heart With an icy, Frigidaire For I mean to care for no one Because I'm through with love
Why did you lead me to think you could care? You didn't need me for you had your share of slaves around you to hound you and swear with deep emotion, devotion to you
Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me It could never bring the things that used to be For I must have you or no one So I am through with love
Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me It can never bring the thing that used to be For I must have you or no one Because I'm through with love
I'm The Urban Spaceman Composer(s): Neil Innes Performer(s): The Bonzo Dog Band
I'm the urban spaceman baby, I've got speed I've got everything I need I'm the urban spaceman baby, I can fly I'm a supersonic guy
I don't need pleasure I don't feel pain If you were to knock me down I'd just get up again I'm the urban spaceman babe and I'm making out I'm all about
I wake up every morning with a smile upon my face My natural exuberance spills out all over the place I'm the urban spaceman I'm intelligent and clean Know what I mean?
I'm the urban spaceman, as a lover second to none It's a lot of fun
I never let my friends down I've never made a boob I'm a glossy magazine an advert in the tube I'm the urban spaceman babe, but here comes the twist I don't exist
It was the night before Christmas, when all through the abode
Only one creature was stirring, and she was cleaning the commode
The children were finally sleeping, all snug in their beds
While visions of Nintendo and Barbie, flipped through their heads
The dad was snoring in front of the TV
With a half-constructed bicycle on his knee
So only the mom heard the reindeer hooves clatter
Which made her sigh, "Now what's the matter?"
With toilet bowl brush still clutched in her hand
She descended the stairs, and saw the old man
He was covered with ashes and soot, which fell with a shrug
"Oh great!!" muttered the mom
"Now I have to clean the rug"
"Ho-Ho-Ho!!" cried Santa
"I'm glad you're awake
Your gift was especially difficult to make"
"Thanks, Santa, but all I want is some time alone"
"Exactly!!" he chuckled
"I've made you a clone"
"A clone?" she asked
"What good is that?
Run along, Santa
I've no time for chit-chat"
It was the mother's twin
Same hair, same eyes, same double chin
"She'll cook, she'll dust, she'll mop every mess
You'll relax, take it easy, watch the Young and the Restless"
"Fantastic!!" the mom cheered
"My dream come true!
I'll shop
I'll read
I'll sleep a whole night through!"
From the room above, the youngest began to fret
"Mommy?!? I'm scared, and I'm wet"
The clone replied "I'm coming, sweetheart"
"Hey," the mom smiled "She knows her part"
The clone changed the small one, and hummed a tune
As she bundled the child, in a blanket cocoon
"You're the best mommy ever
I really love you"
The clone smiled and sighed "I love you, too"
The mom frowned and said "Sorry, Santa, no deal
That's my child's love that she's trying to steal"
Smiling wisely Santa said
"To me it is clear
Only one loving mother is needed here"
The mom kissed her child, and tucked her into bed
"Thank you, Santa, for clearing my head
I sometimes forget it won't be very long
When they'll be too old, for my cradle-song"
The clock on the mantle began to chime
Santa whispered to the clone
"It works every time"
With the clone by his side, Santa said "Good night
Merry Christmas, Mom
You'll be alright"
I'm The Toughest Composer(s): Peter Tosh Performer(s): Peter Tosh; Bunny Wailer
Anything you can do I can do it better I'm the toughest I'm the toughest And I can do what you can't do You'll never try to do what I do I'm the toughest I'm the toughest
Stop from doing wrongs Change your foolish plans Stop from doing wrongs Just live up like a man
I'm the toughest I'm the toughest
Now my little brothers You've got to be good Do what's right Don't be bad-minded Just take what's yours And there'll be no fuss or fight
Stop from doing wrongs Change your foolish plan Stop from doing wrongs Just live up like a man
I'm the toughest I'm the toughest
Now my brothers You've got to be good Just do what you know is right Don't be bad minded Just take what's yours And there'll be no fuss or fight
I said I love my brothers I said I love my sisters I don't covet my neighbor And I love my neighbor
A Merry Christmas At Grandmother's (Traditional) Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters
Over the river and through the woods To Grandmother's house we go The horses await to carry the sleigh Through the white and drifting snow
Over the river and through the woods Oh how the wind does blow It stings the toes and bites the nose As over the ground we go
Oh, over the river and through the woods Now Grandmother's cap I spy Hurrah for the fun, is the pudding done Hurrah for the pumpkin pie
Over the river and through the woods And straight to the farmyard gate Spring over the ground like a hunting hound For this is Christmas day
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Hark the bells are ringing Hear the children singing Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Merry, Merry Christmas and a Glad New Year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Hark the bells are ringing Hear the children singing Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Merry, Merry Christmas and a Glad New Year
Oh, over the river and through the woods We must hurry, we mustn't be late We seem to be going extremely slow It is so hard to wait
Over the river and through the woods Oh, how the wind does blow Hurrah for the fun, is the pudding done For this is Christmas day
Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas Hark, all the bells are ringing Hear the children singing
Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas Merry, Merry Christmas and a Glad New Year
Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas And a Glad New Year

Sì questa sera è festa grande noi scendiamo in pista subito e se vuoi divertirti vieni qua ti terremo fra di noi e ballerai...
Finché vedrai sventolar bandiera gialla tu saprai che qui si balla ed il tempo volerà...
Saprai quando c'è bandiera gialla che la gioventù è bella e il tuo cuore batterà Sai quelli che non ci voglion bene è perché non si ricordano di esser stati ragazzi giovani o di aver avuto già la nostra età...
Finché vedrai sventolar bandiera gialla tu saprai che qui si balla ed il tempo volerà...
Saprai quando c'è bandiera gialla che la gioventù è bella e il tuo cuore batterà Finché vedrai sventolar bandiera gialla tu saprai che qui si balla ed il tempo volerà... Saprai quando c'è bandiera gialla che la gioventù è bella e il tuo cuore batterà
Siamo noi siamo noi bandiera gialla... Vieni qui che qui si balla... Vieni qui che qui si balla... Siamo noi bandiera gialla...

I'm the only man on the island The only man on the island To a hundred and fifty native girls I'm the King of the Coral Sea
When my sailboat sank in the ocean How quick they came to my rescue They haven't had a man to hula for Since nineteen-forty-three
Oh-oh-oh, it's nice, livin' in a tropical paradise They cook me all kinds of food And pour sweet wime in my cup So if I'm dreamin', I don't wanna wake up
Well, hey number one girl, wave that fan Hey number two girl, hold my hand Hey number three girl, kiss me sweet Hey number four girl, rub my feet
Hey number five girl, bake some pies Hey number six girl, swat them flies Hey number seven girl, sweep the shack Hey number eight girl, scratch my back
I'm the only man on the island The only man on the island There's a hundred and fifty girls to love Underneath the coconut tree

Eyesight To The Blind Composer(s): Sonny Boy Williamson Performer(s): Sonny Boy Williamson; and various other artists
You're talking about your woman I wish to God, man, that you could see mine You're talking about your woman, I wish to God that you could see mine Every time the little girl start to loving, she bring eyesight to the blind
Lord, her daddy must been a millionaire, 'cause I can tell by the way she walk Her daddy must been a millionaire, because I can tell by the way she walk Every time she start to loving, the deaf and dumb begin to talk
I remember one Friday morning, we was lying down across the bed Man in the next room a-dying, stopped dying and lift up his head, and said "Lord, ain't she pretty, and the whole state know she fine!"
Every time she start to loving, she bring eyesight to the blind (Spoken: All right and all right, now Lay it on me, lay it on me, lay it on me Oh lordy, what a woman, what a woman!)
Yes, I declare she's pretty and the whole state knows she's fine Man, I declare she's pretty, God knows I declare she's fine Every time she starts to loving, whoo, she brings eyesight to the blind (I've got to get out of here, now, let's go, let's go, let's go now)
I'm The Lonesomest Gal In Town Composer(s): Lew Brown; Harry Von Tilzer Performer(s): Kay Starr and multiple other artists
I'm the lonesomest gal in town Everybody has thrown me down I got no angel child to ever call me dear Got no honey man to ever cuddle near But I'm learnin' to roll my eyes And someday you may be surprised When I steal someone's lovin' man And kiss him with a smack I'll hug him and I'll squeeze him But I'll never give him back `Cos I`m lonesome, so very lonesome I'm the lonesomest gal in this here town
If you read in the papers some day That some poor girl has passed away Don't shed a tear if you should hear That gal was me, and if you see My picture in the paper with a smile on my face I was broken hearted, that smile was out of place If you wanna save a gal from her grave Find me a man if you can
I'm the lonesomest gal in town Everybody is throwin' me down I got no angel child to ever call me dear Got no honey man to ever cuddle near But I'm learnin', I'm gonna roll my eyes And someday you're gonna be surprised When I steal someone's lovin' man And kiss him with a smack I'll hug him and I'll squeeze him But I'll never give him back `Cos I`m lonesome, so very lonesome I'm the lonesomest gal in this or any other town
Eyes Without A Face Composer(s): Billy Idol; Steve Stevens Performer(s): Billy Idol; and various other artists
I'm all out of hope One more bad dream could bring a fall When I'm far from home Don't call me on the phone To tell me you're alone It's easy to deceive It's easy to tease But hard to get release
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face Got no human grace your eyes without a face
I spend so much time Believing all the lies To keep the dream alive Now it makes me sad It makes me mad at truth For loving what was you
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face Got no human grace your eyes without a face
When you hear the music you make a dip Into someone else's pocket then make a slip Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh, the gigolo pool I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip Reading murder books tryin' to stay hip I'm thinkin' of you you're out there so Say your prayers Say your prayers Say your prayers
Now I close my eyes And I wonder why I don't despise Now all I can do Is love what was once So alive and new But it's gone from your eyes I'd better realise
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face Got no human grace your eyes without a face Such a human waste your eyes without a face And now it's getting worse
