It's A Lovely Day Today

Performer(s): Russell Nype & Galina Talva
and multiple other artists



Male:
It's a lovely day today
So whatever you've got to do
You've got a lovely day to do it in, that's true

And I hope whatever you've got to do
Is something that can be done by two
For I'd really like to stay

It's a lovely day today
And whatever you've got to do
I'd be so happy to be doing it with you

But if you've got something that must be done
And it can only be done by one
There is nothing more to say
Except it's a lovely day for saying
It's a lovely day

Female:
It's a lovely day today
And whatever I've got to do
I've got a lovely day to do it in, that's true

But perhaps whatever I've got to do
Is something that can be done by two
If it is then you could stay

It's a lovely day today
But you're probably busy too
So I suppose there's nothing we can do

For if you've got something that must be done
And it can only be done by one
There is nothing more to say
Except it's a lovely day for saying
It's a lovely day

Male:
It's a lovely day today
If you've something that must get done
Now don't forget two heads are better than just one

And besides I'm certain if you knew me
You'd find I'm very good company
Won't you kindly let me stay?

Both:
It's a lovely day today
And whatever we've got to do
We've got a lovely day to do it in, that's true

And I know whatever we've got to do
Is something that can be done by two

I'll say it's a lovely day for saying
It's a lovely day

A Children's Winter
Composer(s): Dermot O'Reilly
Performer(s): Danny O'Flaherty; The Irish Descendants



The winter snow is a child's delight
As it brightens up the winter night
And coats the earth in a cheery white
As it softly drifts upon it

The smiling faces watch the ground
As the snow is falling all around
And through the glass there comes no sound
As the snowflakes melt upon it

Snow Man, Snow House
Hey, play with me
Shake the snow down from the tree
Games once played by you and me
Snow is softly falling

The morning comes and the children play
Their laughter rings out through the day
They hope the snow is here to stay
And it won't be gone tomorrow

Snow Man, Snow House
Hey, play with me
Shake the snow down from the tree
Games once played by you and me
Snow is softly falling

Sliding, running down the hill
The time for fun is now but still
As they climb up life's' long hill
They're sure to meet some sorrow

Snow Man, Snow House
Hey, play with me
Shake the snow down from the tree
Games once played by you and me
Snow is softly falling

Snow Man, Snow House
Hey, play with me
Shake the snow down from the tree
Games once played by you and me
Snow is softly falling

It's a love thing 
It's a love thing, thing 
  
The look in your eyes

To make my poor heart 
Burst into flames

That there was no doubt 
That my life would never be the same 
  
I could never hide the feelings 
That come over me 
When you're near me 
I know that's how it's suppose to be 
My heart keeps telling me 
  
It's a love thing, yeah 
Got me talkin in my sleep 
About the love we made 
  
It's a love thing 
It's a love thing 
Love thing, yeah 
  
Such a feeling I get 
Whenever we touch 
Girl like no other 
I felt before 
It's still so new and yet 
I need you so much 
Got to make you mine 
Forever more 
  
You're the kinda woman 
That can turn my world around 
Cause you show me what 
A selfish love is all about 
Without a doubt 
  
It's a love thing 
I feel that pounding in my heart 
When you call my name 
It's a love thing 
  
It's a love thing 
Love thing, thing 
It's a love thing 
  
Every time that you're near 
It becomes so clear 
It's a love thing 
It's a love thing 
Love thing, yeah

It's A Long Way Up 
Composer(s): John Annesi; Barry Manilow
Performer(s): Barry Manilow



Once you find what matters in your life
Keep on pushing through the darkness
Till you see the light
You're gonna find it
You're no longer behind it

Once you learn what you've been doing wrong
You can make the change
You need to make to carry on
Now and forever
The sooner the better, just remember now . . .

It's a long way up
When you're coming from nowhere
It's a long way up
When you're coming from nowhere
You got to fight a little harder
You got to push a little more
You got to gamble everything you got
To get you through the door
'Cause it's a long way up
You've been down before but that's okay
You can rest assured
That every dog will have his day
And life is a jungle
But you ain't gonna crumble, remember now . . .

It's a long way up
When you're coming from nowhere
It's a long way up
When you're coming from nowhere
You got to fight a little harder
You got to push a little more
You got to gamble everything you got
To get you through the door
'Cause it's a long way up

Don't give up the dream
Hey don't you know it's dark before the dawn
When you think you just can't take it
That's when you'll make it

Child Of Winter
Composer(s): Steve Kalinich - Brian Wilson
Performer(s): The Beach Boys



A child of winter, a child of the snow
I'm making a snowball that someone will throw
I'm making a snowman with charcoal for the eyes
A scarf draped in red and a derby on his head

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus
Right down Santa Claus lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
Are pulling on the reins
Bells are ringing, children singing
All is merry and bright
Hang your stockings and say your prayers
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

The eve of christmas, presents have been passed
The wood in the fireplace is glowing it's last
I'm closing my eyes now, in my bed I'm snuggling
Outside my window the carolers sing

Christmas comes and the snow covers all
Trees are decorated with tinsel and lights
Mama's in the kitchen making cookies and bread
The children are hungry, they're waiting to be fed

A child of Christmas, a child of snow
A wonderful feeling underneath the mistletoe
And may your Christmas last all year
With laughter of children, peace and cheer

A child of Christmas, a child of snow
A wonderful feeling underneath the mistletoe
Merry Christmas to you
Ding dong ding go the bells
Ding dong ding go the bells
Ding dong ding go the bells
Ding dong ding go the bells
Ding dong ding go the bells

It's A Long Way To Tipperary
Composer(s): Jack Judge; Harry H. Williams
Performer(s): John McCormack
and multiple other artists



Up to mighty London came an Irishman one day
As the streets were paved with gold, sure ev'ry one was gay
Singing songs of Piccadilly, Strand and Leicester Square
Till Paddy got excited, then he shouted to them there

It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly! Farewell Leicester Square!
It's a long, long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there!

Paddy wrote a letter to his Irish Molly O'
Saying "Should you not receive it, write and let me know!
If I make mistakes in spelling, Molly dear", said he
"Remember it's the pen that's bad, don't lay the blame on me"

It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly! Farewell Leicester Square!
It's a long, long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there!

Molly wrote a neat reply to Irish Paddy O'
Saying "Mike Maloney wants to marry me, and so
Leave the Strand and Piccadilly, or you'll be to blame
For love has fairly drove me silly - hoping you're the same!"

It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly! Farewell Leicester Square!
It's a long, long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there!

I had a man
He was a good man
That is, you see, what I mean is
I thought he was a good man

I had a friend
She was a good friend
I told my friend 'bout my man 'cause
I thought she was a good friend

Life was sweet
Didn't I have my man?
World complete
Then the fireworks began

Ain't got no man
Ain't got no friend
I bet you can guess
Just exactly what happened

That was the end
The end of my friend
The end of my man
And darn near the end of me

Life was sweet
Didn't I have my man?
World complete
Then the fireworks began

Ain't got no man
Ain't got no friend
I bet you can guess
Just exactly what happened

That was the end
The end of my friend
The end of my man
And darn near the end of me

C'est Noël
Composer(s): Michel Rivard - Claude Meunier
Performer(s): Michel Rivard



C'est Noël car il neige dans la tête 
Partout, partout les flocons sont réunis 
C'est Noël et pour pas que tu t'embêtes 
Voici pour toi ce joli rubis 

À minuit nous irons à la messe d'minuit 
Pour prier Jésus notre seul n'ami 
Et après nous irons chez mon oncle René 
Qui paraît qui fait du maudit bon pâté 

C'est Noël car il neige dans mon coeur 
Les flocons grondent de bonheur 
Les sapins entonnent les clameurs 
Car dans la crèche ronronne le sauveur 

Et après pour digérer le réveillon 
Dans le boggey nous te blottirerons 
Comme le boeuf dans la crèche du divin poupon 
Je soufflerai à travers ton manchon 

C'est Noël car il neige sur ma foi 
Oui je crois qu'il mourira en croix 
C'est Noël et j'espère qu'à minuit 
Oh ma chérie, je serai ton seul messie 
Oui ma chérie, je serai ton seul messie 

Merci beaucoup!

It's A Long Road
Composer(s): Jerry Goldsmith; Hal Shaper
Performer(s): Dan Hill; Tony Anderson



It's a long road
When you're on your own
And it hurts when
They tear your dreams apart
And every new town
Just seems to bring you down
Trying to find peace of mind
Can break your heart
It's a real war
Right outside your front door I tell ya
Out where they'll kill ya
You could use a friend
Where the road is
That's the place for me
Where I'm me in my own space
Where I'm free that's the place
I wanna be
'Cause the road is long yeah
Each step is only the beginning
No breaks just heartaches
Oh man is anybody winning
It's a long road
And it's hard as hell
Tell me what do you do
To survive
When they draw first blood
That's just the start of it
Day and night you gotta fight
To keep alive
It's a long road ...

Le sapin illuminé
Me semble insensé

Cette nuit s'achève
Emportant les rêves
C'est la nuit de Noël
Mais tu ne viendras pas

It’s A Lonely World
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb; Red Stewart
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Leon Redbone



It’s a Lonely World when you’re all alone
When there’s no one to share every sorrow and care
When there’s no one to greet you at the close of the day
The sunshine may come in your heart but never comes to stay

It’s a Lonely World when you’re all alone
That’s the way my world is since your gone

There’s no way to count the tears I have shed
And nights I’ve been blue here just thinking of you
Everyone has told me darling I should forget
But your still here in my heart and you know I love you yet

It’s a Lonely World when you’re all alone
That’s the way my world is since your gone

It’s a Lonely World when you’re all alone
When there’s no one to share every sorrow and care
When there’s no one to greet you at the close of the day
The sunshine may come in your heart but never comes to stay

It’s a Lonely World when you’re all alone
That’s the way my world is since your gone

Performer(s): Doris Day

Take me in your arms
Before you take your love away
Take me in your arms
Before we part

Let me thrill again
To your cares of yesterday
Let me fill again
My hungry heart

One hour of gladness
That we knew in the past
One moment's madness
Although it be the last, hold me fast

Blind me with your charms
With all the stardust in the sky
Take me in your arms
And then goodbye

It's A Little Bitty Pissant Country Place
Performer(s): Dolly Parton



It's just a little bitty pissant country place, ain't nothing much to see
no drinking allowed, we get a nice quiet crowd, plain as it can be
It's just a piddly squatin old time country place, ain't nothing to hide at all
just lots of good will, and maybe one small thrill, but there's nothing dirty going on
Nothing dirty going on

We get simple farmers
Local business men
Congress folks from Austin
Young boys looking for sin
And we used to get a lot of rough necks, when the oil boom was high
but pay day would get a little rowdy, thank God the field ran dry

It's just a little bitty pissant country place, nothing much to see
no drinking allowed, we get a nice quiet crowd, plain as it can be
It's just a piddly squatin no time country place, nothing to hide at all
just lots of good will, and maybe one small thrill, but there's nothing dirty going on

I don't hire no married girl, they're not on the ball
They got homes and husbands, they're not stable at all
You know they don't understand a thing about a proper business day
now what's the point in opening up the store if you give the goods away

It's just a little bitty pissant country place, nothing much to see
no drinking allowed, we get a nice quiet crowd, plain as it can be
It's just a piddly squatin no time country place, nothing to hide at all
just lots of good will, and maybe one small thrill, but there's nothing dirty going on

Keep your language clean girls, keep your bedrooms neat
And don't hang around the town cafe and say hi on the street
Mind you P's and Q's and manners, and you don't need no other tools
Cause every girl that lives here knows my special no no rules

Yea every girl that lives here knows Miss Mona's no no rules

Ruby, Ray start up!
Beds are not to be wallowed in, thats the kind of thing that big fatlazy hogs do
And it don't make money!

Betrix!
I won't tolerate no tying my telephone with other peoples business

Eloise honey!
And please don't show us no tattoos no hearts and flowers on your thigh
It's downright tacky

Brands for cattle and that ain't what we're selling at the Snowdust
Do you catch my drift!

I pay the food and the rent and the utilities
you keep your mind on your work responsibilities
don't let your mouth overload your capabilities
and we can get along

Dawn!
Any bad habits you come in with, get rid off right now

Tatte Joe!
I can't stand no chewing gum it looks just like a cow

Lindy Lue!
Any one taking sick leave for to make real sure their sick

And every time you hear that bell, you better get here double quick

And as for pimps, pimps are something you don't need to get your daily business done
Are you listening group
Keep them leaches and blood suckers of the bathrobes, I know how to use a gun
and nobody messes with my girls

and any questions you might have about the way I run this place
don't grip and whine behind my back
just tell me face to face, I'm open minded say it all
then go upstairs and pack, the door's that way

She pays the food and the rent and the utilities
we keep our minds on our work responsibilities
don't let your mouth overload your capabilities
and we can get along

It's just a little bitty pissant country place, nothing much to see
no drinking allowed, we get a nice quiet crowd, plain as it can be
It's just a piddly squatin no time country place, nothing to hide at all
just lots of good will, and maybe one small thrill, but there's nothing dirty going on

Following, following yonder star
Christmas bells are ringing
All across the land they chime
Heralding this happy time

It's A Jungle Out There
Performer(s): Randy Newman



It's a jungle out there
Disorder and confusion everywhere
No one seems to care
Well I do
Hey, who's in charge here?
It's a jungle out there
Poison in the very air we breathe
Do you know what's in the water that you drink?
Well I do, and it's amazing
People think I'm crazy, 'cause I worry all the time
If you paid attention, you'd be worried too
You better pay attention
Or this world we love so much might just kill you
I could be wrong now, but I don't think so!
'Cause it's a jungle out there

Hark! How the bells
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say
Throw cares away

Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer
To young and old
Meek and the bold

Ding dong ding dong
That is their song
With joyful ring
All caroling

One seems to hear
Words of good cheer
From everywhere
Filling the air

Oh, how they pound
Raising the sound
O'er hill and dale
Telling the tale

Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas

On on they send
On without end
Their joyful tone
To every home

Ding, dong, ding, ding...... dong!
