Don't Forget To Feed The Reindeer Composer(s): Peggy Lee Performer(s): Peggy Lee; The Lounge-O-Leers
Have you been a good little angel? Santa Claus soon will be on his way
And he'll bring his eight little reindeer Pulling the toys in his great big sleigh
So don't forget to feed the reindeer Angels are friends of the reindeer too And if you are a good little angel Santa Claus will be good to you Hear that jingle off in the distance What is that happy sound I hear?
Could it be the spirit of Christmas Santa Claus and his tiny reindeer
Oh don't forget to feed the reindeer Angels are friends of the reindeer too And if you are a good little angel Santa Claus will be good to you
Here they come now up on the rooftop Santa Claus' sleigh and his reindeer too
Hear those bells now, oh how they jingle And he has toys in his bag for you
Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, and Vixen Pulling that sleigh, oh I do believe
Cupid, Comet, Donner, and Blitzen Always on time for Christmas Eve Let's not forget to feed the reindeer Angels are friends of the reindeer too And if you are a good little angel Santa Claus will be good to you

And so I cry a little bit (it hurts to be in love) Ah, I die a little bit (it hurts to be in love) Day and night, night and day, it hurts to be in love this way It hurts to be in love, day and night, night and day It hurts to be in love, night and day, day and night It hurts to be in love, day and night, night and day

It Hurts Me
((French Version: Ça Fait Mal (by Johnny Hallyday) - 1964)
Composer(s): Joy Byers - Charles E. Daniels
First release by: Elvis Presley - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists
It hurts me to see him treat you the way he does It hurts me to see sit and cry When I know I could be so true If I had someone like you It hurts me to see those tears in your eyes
The whole town is talking, they're callin' you a fool For listening to his same old lies And when I know I could be so true If I had someone like you It hurts me to see the way he makes you cry
You love him too much, you're too blind to see He's only playing a game But he's never loved you He never will And darling, don't you know he will never change
Oh, I know he never will set you free Because he's just that kind of guy But if you ever tell him you're through I'll be waiting for you Waiting to hold you so tight Waiting to kiss you goodnight Yes, darling, if I had someone like you
No Moon At All Composer(s): Redd Evans; Dave Mann Performer(s): Julie London; and various other artists
No moon at all, what a night Even lightning bugs have dimmed their light Stars have disappeared from sight And theres no moon at all Dont make a sound, its so dark Even Fido is afraid to bark What a perfect chance to park And theres no moon at all
Should we want atmosphere Or inspiration, dear One kiss will make it clear That tonights the night And bright moonlight might interfere
No moon at all, up above This is nothing like they told us of Just to think we fell in love And theres no moon at all
Should we want atmosphere Or inspiration, dear One kiss will make it clear That tonights the night And bright moonlight might interfere
Whatever It Is, I'm Against It From the Marx Bros. film "Horse Feathers" (1932) Composer(s): Harry Ruby; Bert Kalmar Performer(s): Groucho Marx
I don't know what they have to say It makes no difference anyway Whatever it is, I'm against it! No matter what it is Or who commenced it I'm against it!
Your proposition may be good But let's have one thing understood Whatever it is, I'm against it! And even when you've changed it Or condensed it I'm against it!
I'm opposed to it On general principles I'm opposed to it! (He's opposed to it) (In fact, he says he's opposed to it!)
For months before my son was born I used to yell from night to morn "Whatever it is, I'm against it!" And I've kept yelling Since I first commenced it "I'm against it!"
No Money Down Composer(s): Chuck Berry Performer(s): Chuck Berry; and various other artists
As I was motivatin' Back in town I saw a Cadillac sign Sayin' "No Money Down" So I eased on my brakes And I pulled in the drive Gunned my motor twice Then I walked inside Dealer came to me Said "Trade in you Ford And I'll put you in a car That'll eat up the road Just tell me what you want And then sign on that line And I'll have it brought down to you In a hour's time"
I'm gonna get me a car And I'll be headed on down the road Then I won't have to worry About that broken - down, ragged Ford

No Milk Today Composer(s): Graham Gouldman Performer(s): Herman's Hermits; and various other artists
No milk today, my love has gone away The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn No milk today, it seems a common sight But people passing by don't know the reason why
How could they know just what this message means The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams How could they know the palace there had been Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
No milk today, it wasn't always so The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely A terraced house in a mean street back of town Becomes a shrine when I think of you only Just two up two down
No milk today, it wasn't always so The company was gay, we'd turn night into day As music played the faster did we dance We felt it both at once, the start of our romance
How could they know just what this message means The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams How could they know a palace there had been Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
No milk today, my love has gone away The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely A terraced house in a mean street back of town Becomes a shrine when I think of you only Just two up two down
No milk today, my love has gone away The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn No milk today, it seems a common sight But people passing by don't know the reason why
How could they know just what this message means The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams How could they know a palace there had been Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
No milk today, it wasn't always so The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely A terraced house in a mean street back of town Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely A terraced house in a mean street back of town Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Postman Blues Composer(s): Dinah Washington; Tab Smith Performer(s): Dinah Washington; Tab Smith
Baby, when you receive this letter, I hope it will explain Yes baby, when you receive this letter, I hope it will explain 'Cause I was too unfaithful, now I'm home in bed and sick with pain!
All my friends told me that you were just a clown Still I let your sweet words let my love come tumblin' down! Yes I've got them, got those letter writin' blues Forget the dirt you did me, you can have me any time you choose!
They say you're just a sweet man, just like a plum or prune All you need to do is whistle and I'll be lovin' you till next June! Yes I've got them, got them letter writin' blues Forget the dirt you did me, you can have me any time you choose!
I wrote you six or eight times, or maybe three or four The postman returned them to me, and said, "You're just a constant bore!" Yes I've got them, got them letter writin' blues Forget the dirt you did me, you can have me any time you choose!
No Mercy Composer(s): The Stranglers Performer(s): The Stranglers
Everyday you're working like a slave
Sweating buckets hoping that you get it right Will it be as tough tomorrow have to wait and see Life shows no mercy
Everyday your love is getting warmer
Just look at her and I love her did you get it right? Will she soothe your brow with kisses only meant for thee? She'll show no mercy she'll show no mercy
And when you hold her close to you
Just when you're feeling good it's true Life shows no mercy life shows no mercy
Life shows no mercy life shows no mercy
Everybody has some secret wishes
Just keep your fingers crossed maybe they'll all come true But don't worry if they just remain a fantasy Life shows no mercy
Everybody seems the same all over
The search is on for love and comfort constantly If it comes your way tomorrow count yourself lucky Life shows no mercy life shows no mercy
And when you hold her close to you . . . Life shows no mercy life shows no mercy
life shows no mercy no mercy Life shows no mercy no mercy life shows no mercy no mercy
Life shows no mercy no mercy life shows no mercy no mercy
Life shows no mercy no mercy life shows no mercy no mercy
It Happens To Be Me Composer(s): Sammy Gallop; Arthur Kent Performer(s): Nat King Cole and multiple other artists
Someone longs for you and your caress He's learning now how empty arms can be Someone who used to know your kiss not long ago That someone happens to be me
How he misses you and must confess Without you he's like driftwood on the sea He's just a dreamer who is still in love with you That dreamer happens to be me
I'll never know just why we parted It's more than I can comprehend I only know when you departed You started a night that has no end
Perhaps there'll come a time when you're alone Your heart still haunted by a memory If then you chance to find there's someone on your mind I hope it happens to be me
Perhaps there'll come a time when you're alone Your heart still haunted by a memory If then you chance to find there's someone on your mind I hope it happens to be me
No Mercy Composer(s): Nils Lofgren Performer(s): Nils Lofgren
Out for the first - the atmosphere is heavy World title lays on the line Strong and proud he is much older I am the faster Im in my prime
Third round late he starts to tire Open cut over his left eye Smelling blood attack is relentless In the back seats I see his girl cry
Cry - No mercy, no quarter No place to hide for me and the man Lefts and rights never came in harder No mercy, take it while you can - now! No mercy take it while you can
Back in my corner they scream "No mercy!" "Put him away, dont let him recover!" Someones eyes drills holes in my head It is his proud determined mother
Cry - No mercy, no quarter No place to hide for me or the man Right and wrong never came in harder No mercy, take it while you can - now! No mercy, take it while you can
I wish another could do this thing for me His eyes are flooded, doubt he can even see I hungered this title but now it dont seem right I fight back tears while I destroy his life
Cry - No mercy, no quarter No place to hide for me and the man Lefts and rights never came in harder No mercy , take it while you can - now! No mercy take it while you can
Cry - No mercy, no quarter No place to hide for me or the man Right and wrong never came in harder No mercy, take it while you can - now! No mercy, take it while you can
No Me Trates Así Composer(s): José L. Flores Performer(s): Javier Solis
No me trates así no seas mala conmigo ya no me hagas sufrir por Dios te lo pido
Por qué me tratas mal si soy bueno contigo no quieras acabar con nuestro gran cariño ¿Por qué me haces llorar si no te doy motivo? ¿Por qué me tratas mal si soy bueno contigo?
Por qué me tratas mal si soy bueno contigo no quieras acabar con nuestro gran cariño ¿Por qué me haces llorar si no te doy motivo? ¿Por qué me tratas mal si soy bueno contigo?
It Happens Everyday Composer(s): Carly Simon Carly Simon; Les Paul
It happens everyday Two lovers with the best intentions to stay Together, they decide to separate Just how it happens neither is certain But it happens everyday
It happens everyday After you break up you say these words to your friends "How could I have loved that boy?" "He was so bad to me in the end" Well, you make him a liar Turn him into a robber Well, it happens everyday
But I don't regret that I loved you How I loved you I will never forget And in time I'll look back and remember The boy that I knew when we first met
Still, it happens everyday Two lovers turn and twist their love into hate But am I so different from that young girl you used to date? You used to adore me
