Saturday Satan, Sunday Saint Composer(s): Wayne Walker Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Blackstone Valley Sinners
Saturday Satan, Sunday Saint Fooling your neighbor Thats what you think Reading the good book Singing the hymns Come Monday morning and it's back to a life of sin
O brother Brown All weak he steals Tells everyone His big business deals The Deacon walks by A dollar hits the plate Trying to buy himself a ticket to the Pearly Gate
O sister Rose On the very first row Been a sittin right there Twenty years or so Never hears a word When the preacher speaks Too busy talking about the bad girl down the street
Saturday Satan, Sunday Saint Fooling your neighbor Thats what you think Reading the good book Singing the hymns Come Monday morning and it's back to a life of sin
This little song Holds good advice Though some people may Think it aint too nice Well if you're one Whos wearin the shoes Well there's somebody watching and he aint no bodys fool
Saturday Satan, Sunday Saint Fooling your neighbor Thats what you think Reading the good book Singing the hymns Come Monday morning and it's back to a life of sin Come Monday morning and it's back to a life of sin
Noël Composer(s): Jean Albertini; Jacques Denjean Performer(s): Christophe
Un beau soir de Noël Aujourd'hui moi je me souviens Je me souviens d'un beau soir de Noël J'étais tout seul je regardais le ciel Et c'est alors que dans la nuit tombée Le Père Noël je l'avais rencontré
Je me souviens d'un beau soir de Noël Il faisait froid, la nuit était si belle Et doucement en s'approchant de moi Le Père Noël m'avait tendu les bras J'aurais aimé ce soir Lui dire tous mes espoirs Mais soudain dans la nuit il est parti
Je me souviens d'un beau soir de Noël Où j'ai rêvé que la vie était belle Mais aujourd'hui je ne veux plus pleurer O Père Noël je veux encore rêver
Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting) Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin First release by: Elton John - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists
It's getting late have you seen my mates Ma tell me when the boys get here It's seven o'clock and I want to rock Want to get a belly full of beer
My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys And my old lady she don't care My sister looks cute in her braces and boots A handful of grease in her hair
Don't give us none of your aggravation We had it with your discipline Saturday night's alright for fighting Get a little action in
Get about as oiled as a diesel train Gonna set this dance alight `Cause Saturday night's the night I like Saturday night's alright alright alright
Well they're packed pretty tight in here tonight I'm looking for a dolly who'll see me right I may use a little muscle to get what I need I may sink a little drink and shout out "She's with me!"
A couple of the sounds that I really like Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike I'm a juvenile product of the working class Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass
Noche De Paz, Noche De Fe (Traditional) Performer(s): Raphael
Noche de paz, noche de fe El portal que hay en belen Suenan canticos llenos de amor Dulces canticos al redentor Que esta noche nacio Y es mas hermoso que el sol
Noche de paz, noche de amor Todo duerme en derredor Y entre sus astros que esparcen su luz Ella anunciando al niñito jesus Brilla la estrella de paz
Noche de paz, noche de fe Ha nacido alla en belen Los arcangeles vienen tambien Van cantando alabanzas a dios Ha nacido en belen Porque es el hijo de dios
Saturday Night, Sunday Morning Composer(s): Mitchell Elliot Botler; Norma Helms Performer(s): Thelma Houston and multiple other artists
We're fooled by first impressions They're not always true You thought that I was made out of ice But I caught on fire with you
I sparkled for a moment Then I flickered out I couldn't feel the flame any more But darlin' I'm feelin it now
Took such a long time to convince me You could fill that empty space But Saturday night is shining On my Sunday morning face Saturday night is shining On my Sunday morning face
Sunlight is streaming Thru the open window While you're dreaming in my arms Took such a long time to convince me You could fill that empty space But Saturday night is shining On my Sunday morning face Saturday night is shining
This is the real thing Look at me beaming with love Saturday night is shining On my Sunday morning face
Saturday Night Special Composer(s): Ed King; Ronnie Van Zant First release by: Lynyrd Skynyrd - 1975 Covered by multiple other artists
Two feets they come a creepin' Like a black cat do And two bodies are lyin' naked Creeper think he got nothin' to lose So he creeps into this house, yeah And unlocks the door And while a man reaching for his trousers Shoots him full of .38 holes
It's a Saturday night special Got a barrel that's blue and cold Ain't no good for nothin' But put a man six feet in a hole
Big Jim's been drinkin' whiskey And playing poker on a losin' night Pretty soon, Big Jim starts a thinkin' Somebody been cheatin' and lyin' So Big Jim commences to fightin' I wouldn't tell you no lie And Big Jim done grab his pistol Shot his friend right between the eyes
It's a Saturday night special Got a barrel that's blue and cold Ain't no good for nothin' But put a man six feet in a hole
Hand guns are made for killin' Ain't no good for nothin' else And if you like your whiskey You might even shoot yourself So why don't we dump 'em people To the bottom of the sea Before some fool come around here Wanna shoot either you or me

Some girls love to run around Like to handle everything they see But my girl has more fun around And you know she'd rather be with me
Me-oh-my, lucky guy is what I am Tell you why you'll understand She don't fly although she can
Some boys love to run around They don't think about the things they do But this boy wants to settle down And you know he'd rather be with you
Me-oh-my, lucky guy is what I am Tell you why you'll understand She don't fly although she can
Ba ba ba ba ba-ba ba Ba ba ba ba ba-ba ba Ba ba ba ba ba-ba ba Ba ba ba ba ba-ba ba
Some girls love to run around Like to handle everything they see But my girl has more fun around And you know she'd rather be with Yes she'd rather be with
Saturday Night Fish Fry Composer(s): Louis Jordan; Ellis Walsh First release by: Louis Jordan - 1949 Covered by multiple other artists
If you've ever been down to New Orleans Then you can understand just what I mean All through the week it's as quiet as a mouse But on Saturday night they go from house to house
You don't have to pay when you only mention If you're a cook or a waiter or a good musician If you just happen to be passing by Stop in at the Saturday night fish fry
It was rocking, it was rocking You never seen such scuffling and shuffling 'Til the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rocking You never seen such scuffling and shuffling 'Til the break of dawn
Now my buddy and me was on the bandstand Fooling around, just me and him We decided we could use something to eat So we went to a house on Rampart Street
We knocked on the door and it opened with ease A light-skinned miss said 'Come in, please' Before we could even bat an eye We was right in the middle of a big fish fry
It was rocking, it was rocking You never seen such scuffling and shuffling 'Til the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rocking You never seen such scuffling and shuffling 'Til the break of dawn
Now the woman was screaming and jumping and yelling The bottles were flying and the fish were smelling From way up above all the noise they made Somebody hollered 'Better get outta here, this is a raid'
I didn't know we were breaking the law Somebody reached over and hit me on the jaw They had locked up from the front and the back Putting them in the wagon like potato sacks
It was rocking, it was rocking You never seen such scuffling and shuffling 'Til the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rocking You never seen such scuffling and shuffling 'Til the break of dawn
I knew I could away if I had the chance But I was shaking like I had St. Vitus' Dance I tried to crawl under a bathtub A policeman said 'Hey, now where you going, bud?'
They got us outta there like a house on fire And put us all in that black mariah They might of missed one or two But they got both me and my buddy too
It was rocking, it was rocking You never seen such scuffling and shuffling 'Til the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rocking You never seen such scuffling and shuffling 'Til the break of dawn
Well we headed for jail in a dazed condition They booked each one of us on suspicion My chick came down and she went my bail Finally got me outta that rotten jail
If you ever wanna go get a fist in your eye Just mention a Saturday night fish fry I don't care how many fish in the sea Don't ever mention a fish to me
It was rocking, it was rocking You never seen such scuffling and shuffling 'Til the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rocking You never seen such scuffling and shuffling 'Til the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rocking You never seen such scuffling and shuffling 'Til the break of dawn
New Year's Eve 1999 Composer(s): Gretchen Peters Performer(s): Alabama; Eric Hancock
Baby, let's make a date for a night on the town How does the turn of the century sound I guarantee that we'll have a good time New Year's Eve Nineteen-Ninety-Nine
I know it sounds a bit premature But I'm askin' you now 'cause I want to be sure Do you have anything else in mind New Year's Eve Nineteen-Ninety-Nine
We'll drink pink champagne from a plastic cup Dance all night 'til the sun comes up We'll say it's been a pretty good century Except for that weekend in Ninety-Three
Then we'll go home to our warm winter bed Tuck in the kids with a kiss on the head And sing one more chorus of Auld Lang Syne New Year's Eve Nineteen-Ninety-Nine
I'll be your sweetheart if you'll be mine New Year's Eve Nineteen-Ninety-Nine New Year's Eve Nineteen-Ninety-Nine

Covered by multiple other artists
Yeah...
All is quiet on New Year's Day A world in white gets underway I want to be with you Be with you night and day Nothing changes on New Year's Day On New Year's Day
I will be with you again I will be with you again
Under a blood red sky A crowd has gathered in black and white Arms entwined, the chosen few The newspapers says, says Say it's true it's true... And we can break through Though torn in two We can be one
I...I will begin again I...I will begin again
Oh... Maybe the time is right Oh...maybe tonight...
I will be with you again I will be with you again
And so we're told this is the golden age And gold is the reason for the wars we wage Though I want to be with you Be with you night and day Nothing changes On New Year's Day On New Year's Day
Saturday In The Park Composer(s): Robert Lamm Performer(s): Chicago - 1972
Saturday in the park I think it was the Fourth of July Saturday in the park I think it was the Fourth of July People dancing, people laughing A man selling ice cream Singing Italian songs
Can you dig it (yes, I can) And I've been waiting such a long time For Saturday
Saturday in the park You'd think it was the Fourth of July Saturday in the park You'd think it was the Fourth of July People talking, really smiling A man playing guitar Singing for us all Will you help him change the world Can you dig it (yes, I can) And I've been waiting such a long time For today
Slow motion riders fly the colours of the day A bronze man still can tell stories his own way listen children all is not lost all is not lost
Funny days in the park Every day's the Fourth of July Funny days in the park Every day's the Fourth of July People reaching, people touching A real celebration Waiting for us all If we want it, really want it Can you dig it (yes, I can) And I've been waiting such a long time For the day
Saturday Night Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Jule Stein Performer(s): Frank Sinatra and multiple other artists
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week 'Cause that's the night that my sweetie and I Used to dance cheek to cheek I don't mind Sunday night at all 'Cause that's the night friends come to call And Monday to Friday go fast And another week is past
But Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week I sing the song that I sang for the memories I usually seek Until I hear you at the door Until you're in my arms once more Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
mmmm... Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week I sing the song that I sang for the memories I usually seek Until I hear you at the door Until you're in my arms once more Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
Until I hear you at the door Until you're in my arms once more Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
När Det Lider Mot Jul Composer(s): Ruben Liljefors; Jeanna Oterdahl Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog; and various other artists
Det strålar en stjärna förunderligt blid i öster på himlen hon står Hon lyst över världenes oro och strid i nära två tusende år När dagen blir mörk och när snön faller vit då skrider hon närmre, då kommer hon hit och då vet man, att snart är det jul
Ty julen är härlig för stora och små är glädje och ljuvaste frid är klappar och julgran och ringdans också är lycka, oändligen blid är ljus- allas ögon då stråla som bäst och stjärnorna tindra som mest och där ljuset är- där är det jul
Saturday Night Composer(s): Randy Meisner; Don Henley; Glenn Frey; Bernie Leadon First release by: Eagles - 1973
It seems like a dream now, it was so long ago The moon burned so bright and the time went so slow And I swore that I loved her and gave her a ring The bluebird was high on the wing
Whatever happened to Saturday night? Finding a sweetheart and holding her tight? She said "Tell me, oh, tell me, was I alright?" Whatever happened to Saturday night?
The years brought the railroad it ran by my door Now there's boards on the windows and dust on the floor And she passes the time at another man's side And I pass the time with my pride
What a tangled web we weave, go 'round with circumstance Someone show me how to tell the dancer from the dance
Whatever happened to Saturday night Choosing a friend and losing a fight? She said, "Tell me, oh, tell me, are you alright?" Whatever happened to Saturday night? Whatever happened to Saturday night?
My Christmas Tree Composer(s): Jimmy Webb Performer(s): Diana Ross & The Supremes; The Temptations
There's a Christmas tree In a window frame Just inside my door But my Christmas tree Doesn't look the same As it always has before
There's just one lonely present Beneath my Christmas tree 'Cause the best little present A girl ever had Has gone away from me
Oh, my Christmas tree is not very big In fact it's kind of small Honey went, he picked 'em out They always seem so tall
The lights don't seem so bright this year It's hard for me to see The smile that made my Christmas bright Is gone away from me
I have been so lonely Since you left me all alone All I want for Christmas is My baby back at home
Oh, my Christmas tree's so sad and bare My room's so big and cold They wish me happy new year But the new year is already on
There's no little angel On top where it used to be 'Cause the angel That made my Christmas right Has gone away from me... 'Cause the angel That made my Christmas right Has gone away from me... 'Cause the angel That made my Christmas right Has gone away from me...
