Covered by multiple other artists



Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
Is all my brain and body need
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
Is very good indeed

Keep your silly ways or throw them out the window
The wisdom of your ways I've been there and I know
Lots of other ways, what a jolly bad show
If all you ever do is business you don't like

Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
Is very good indeed

Ev'ry bit of clothing ought to make you pretty
You can cut the clothing, grey is such a pity
I should wear the clothing of Mr. Walter Mitty
See my tailor, he's called Simon
I know it's going to fit

Here's a little bit of advice
You're quite welcome, it is free
Don't do nothin' that is cut-price
You know what they'll make you be
They will try their tricky devise 
Trap you with the ordin'ry
Get your teeth into a small slice
The cake of liberty

Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll - ow! ow!
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll - ow! ow! ow! ow!
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll ....

It's Me Again, Margaret
Composer(s): Paul Craft
Performer(s): Ray Stevens; Paul Craft; Cledus T. Judd



Well, there once was a feller named Willard McVane 
And he only had just one thought on his brain 
Every evening 'round midnight he'd sneak off alone 
And call the same lady on a pay telephone 
"It's me again, Margaret...are you there, Margaret? 
I know... I know it's you, Margaret... 
You don't know me, Margaret, but I know you"

Well, this upset the lady and it gave her the blues 
So she called up the police, said "What do I do?" 
The Chief of Detectives came round to her home 
And eavesdropped upon them on her upstairs phone 
"It's me again, Margaret...are you naked? 
Well, they called up Ma Bell and they traced him on down 
To a funky old phone booth on the outskirts of town 
It was there that the Vice Squad with their field glasses read 
The lips of that amorous man as he said 
"It's me again, Margaret...hello? Is this Margaret? 
Bet you can't guess what I'm doing..."

Well, they cuffed him and they dragged him to the jailhouse downtown 
And they allowed him one phone call 'fore the jailer came round 
Well, he wet his chapped lips and he cleared his young throat 
And he dialed up the number and softly he spoke 
"It's me again, Margaret...They got me, Margaret
You won't miss me, Margaret 
But I'll miss you... hoo hoo 

And when I get out I'll come over and we'll have a party 
And I'll bring a live chicken.. and some peach preserves! 
Oh, we'll have a real good time..."

It's Magic
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Jule Styne
First release by: Tony Martin - 1947
Covered by multiple other artists



You sigh, the song begins, you speak and I hear violins
It's magic
The stars desert the skies and rush to nestle in your eyes
It's magic

Without a golden wand or mystic charms
Fantastic things begin when I am in your arms

When we walk hand-in-hand, the world becomes a wonderland
It's magic
How else can I explain those rainbows when there isn't rain?
It's magic

Why do I tell me myself these things that happen are all really true
When in my heart I know the magic is my love for you?

It's magic

It's magic

Why do I tell me myself these things that happen are all really true
When in my heart I know the magic is my love for you? 

Snow For Johnny
Composer(s): Fred Carter; Conway Twitty
Performer(s): Burl Ives


Please send some snow
Some snow for Johnny
He wants to build
A big snowman

It was a week just before Christmas
Way down in Lousianne
A little boy was kneeling by his bed
In a manner poised and grand

I listened as he said his prayers
His voice came soft and low
He said, "God tell Saint Nicholas
To send a little snow"

Please send some snow
Some snow for Johnny
He wants to build
A big snowman

I'd like to build a snowman
Like the other children do
I've got an old top hat, and a walking cane
Got a big long cigarre too

Yes everything is ready
And I'm all set to go
How can I build a snowman
When I haven't any snow

Please send some snow
Some snow for Johnny
He wants to build
A big snowman

Now, early chrismtmas morning
Much to his surprise
Snowflakes by the millions
Were falling from the skies

Down the stairs and out-of-doors
As fast as he could go
So happy that Saint Nicholas
Had sent a little snow

Thanks for the snow
The snow for Johnny
Now he can build
A big snowman

Thanks for the snow
The snow for Johnny
Now he can build
A big snowman

Thanks for the snow
The snow for Johnny
Now he can build
A big snowman

Imagine you imagining that you love me
And starting on a family tree
Imagine starting on a family tree
The mama is you and the papa is me

If your heart goes bumpety-bump
It’s love love love
If your throat comes up with a lump
It’s love love love
If your knees go knockety-knock
It’s love love love
If you cuckoo like a cuckoo in the clock
It’s love love love

Imagine you imagining a cosy flat
Complete with running dog and cat
Imagine having running dog and cat
And we will have ‘welcome’ on top of the mat

If your heart goes bumpety-bump
It’s love love love
If your throat comes up with a lump
It’s love love love
If your knees go knockety-knock
It’s love love love
If you cuckoo like a cuckoo in the clock
It’s love love love

The Banks Of Newfoundland
(Traditional)



On St. Patrick's Day, the seventeenth, from New York we set sail
Kind fortune did favour us wi' a sweet and a pleasant gale
We bore away from Americay, the wind bein' off the land
And wi' courage brave we ploughed the wave bound down for Newfoundland

Our Captain's name was Nelson just twenty years of age
As true and brave a sailor lad as ever ploughed the wave
The Eveline our brig was called belonging to McLean
And wi' courage brave we ploughed the wave bound down for Newfoundland

When three days out to our surprise our Captain he fell sick
He shortly was not able to take his turn on deck
The fever raged which made us think that death was near at hand
So we bore away from Halifax bound down for Newfoundland

At three o'clock we sighted a light that we were glad to see
The small-pox bein' ragin', that's what it proved to be
At four o'clock in the afternoon, as sure as God's command
He passed away in Arichat bound down for Newfoundland

All that night long we did lament for our departed friend
And we were prayin' unto God for what had been his end
We prayed that God would guide us and keep us by his hand
And send us fair wind while at sea bound down for Newfoundland

and multiple other artists



It's love I'm after
North, South, East and West
I have gone in my quest
Far, wide
High and low
This one thing I know
It's love I'm after
I don't want to be
a millionaire
The only thing on earth
For which I care is love
Ba da da da da do
For love and laughter

For love and laughter
I give all that I posses
Don't you know the only
Name for happiness
Is love, love, love
Rich man, poor man
Beggar man, thief
Feel the way I do
Because each one of
them believes
He'll find somebody like you
It's love I'm after
Love, I'm after
Love, it's love I'm after
It may make me rise
or make me fall
But it's love I'm after
After all

Christmas Time
Composer(s): Edward Cole
Performer(s): Ray Charles



Down through the ages 'round this time of year 
People's hearts all a-glow 
Yuletide carols fill the air with cheer 
While children laugh and play out in the snow
 
Lights on Christmas trees and snowflakes fallin' down 
What a lovely site it is to see 
You will always know when Christmas time is near 
You feel the need to be in harmony
 
'Cause Christmas time is really more than givin' 
It's spreading all the news of peace and love 
Christmas time Is all about receiving 
The gift that God has sent from up above 

People goin' here and people goin' there 
Buying gifts for those they know and love 
Never stop to think that the greatest gift of all 
Is he who sends his love from up above
 
Waitin' in suspense to open all my gifts 
It seems like the time just creeps along 
When we finally see the presents that we have 
We open up our hearts and sing this song
 
That Christmas time is really more than givin' 
It's spreading all the news of peace and love 
Christmas time is all about receiving 
The gift that God has sent from up above 

Christmas time is really more than givin' 
Christmas time is all about receiving 
Christmas time, spreading news of peace and love 
Christmas time, the gift that God has sent from up above
Christmas time Is really more...........

Christmas Time

Performer(s): Hanson



Everything's different
But nothing has changed
Are we going in circles
It's Christmas again
Can't you hear the sleigh bells ring
All our voices unite
And look up to the heavens
See the stars shining bright
Everybody needs a little lovin'
Around Christmas time
Somehow you got to know you're going to be all right
Do you really remember how it used to be
Sitting under the Christmas tree
In your heart you'll
Find the season
We've been blessed by the children
Black, yellow and white
They believe in the things
We try to deny
Oh, so throw down your weapons
But continue to fight
And let's love one another
On this holy night
Oh Everybody needs a little lovin'
Around Christmas time
Somehow you got to know you're gonna be all right
Oh Do you really remember how it used to be
Sitting under the Christmas tree
In your heart you'll
Find the season
Oh reach down inside (won't you reach down inside) your heart
And see all the love
Oh in your heart (in your heart) you'll
Find the reason
Everybody needs a little lovin'
Around Christmas time
Somehow you got to know you're gonna be all right (Oh you're gonna be alright)
Do you really remember how it used to be
Me lovin' you and you lovin' me
In you're heart you'll
Find the season

It's Just You

It’s you, just you, no one but you
It’s you that I care about, how can I live without you
It’s you I love, all else above
I know that it had to be, and it will always be you

I bless the day I met you
I thank my lucky stars
It’s my idea of heaven
Just to be where you are

It’s you, just you, and I’ll be true
I’m yours till eternity, now and forever it’s you

Christmas Through Your Eyes
Composer(s): Gloria Estefan - Diane Warren
Performer(s): Gloria Estefan; Amy Grant; Christmas All Stars



Till I had you I didn't know
That I was missing out
Had to grow up and see the world
Through different shades of doubt
Give me one more chance to dream again
One more chance to feel again
Through your young heart
If only for one day let me try

I wanna see Christmas through your eyes
I want everything to be the way it used to be
Back to being a child again thinking the world was mine
I wanna see Christmas, Christmas through your eyes

I see the rain
You see the rainbow hiding in the clouds
Never afraid to let your love show
Won't you show me how
Wanna learn how to believe again
Find the innocence in me again
Through your young heart
Help me find a way, help me try

I wanna see Christmas through your eyes
I want everything to be the way it used to be
Back to being a child again thinking the world was kind
I wanna see Christmas, Christmas through your eyes

I wanna see Christmas through your eyes
I want everything to be the way it used to be
Back to being a child again thinking the world was kind
I wanna see Christmas, Christmas through your eyes

I wanna see Christmas
I wanna see Christmas
I wanna see Christmas through your eyes
I wanna see, I wanna see Christmas
I wanna see, I wanna see Christmas
I wanna see Christmas through your eyes
I wanna see Christmas
I want to see Christmas
I wanna see Christmas through your eyes

It's Just Because
Composer(s): Gerry Marsden
Performer(s): Gerry & The Pacemakers



Do you ever stop & think why I love you?
Do you ever stop & think why I think of you?
It's just because, it's just because
It's just because our love is true

Do you ever stop & think what makes me feel this way?
Do you ever stop & think why I love you more each day?
It's just because, it's just because
It's just because our love is true

When I'm with you, the things we do
Mean so very much to me

Do you ever stop & think when our love will end
Is it just a passing phase? No, it will never end
It's just because, it's just because
It's just because our love is true

It's just because, it's just because
It's just because our love is true

When I'm with you, the things we do
Mean so very much to me

Do you ever stop & think when our love will end
Is it just a passing phase? No, it will never end
It's just because, it's just because
It's just because our love is true

It's just because our love is true

The Christmas Spirit
Composer(s): John R. Cash
Performer(s): Johnny Cash



(Praises sing to Christ the King and peace to men on earth)
On Christmas Eve I dreamed I traveled all around the earth
And in my dream I saw and heard the ways the different people hail the King
Whose star shone in the east and what a dream it was

In London Town I walked around Piccadilly Circus
A mass of people movin' here and there I wondered where
On every face at every place was hurry up I'm late
But a kind old man at a chestnut stand said "Merry Christmas, mate"
And I felt the Christmas spirit

In a little town nestled down in Bavaria Germany
I walked along to see what the feeling there would be
And here again was the busy din the rushin' the yellin'
But some kind boy said "Frohliche Weihnachten"
Not understanding the words but gettin' the buyin' and sellin'
I felt the Christmas spirit

In Bethlehem I heard a hymn some distant choir sang
And with other tourists I walked along to a church as its bells rang
Then I heard someone tell someone "there's where Christ was born
I wonder if he looked like our baby looked on that first morn"
And then I really felt the Christmas spirit

From a businessman in the Holy Land at a sidewalk souvenir shop
I bought a little Bible, since I'd hardly stopped
And it was in Paris, France, somehow by chance, that I took the Bible out
And as I flipped the pages, I saw these words and I knew what it was all about
For I read 'fear not for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy
Which shall be to all people
For unto you he was born this day in the City of David a Saviour
Which is Christ the Lord'

Then I took the little Holy Book held it close and tight
I closed my eyes and visualized the glory of that night
So suddenly it came to me for when I awoke on Christmas Day
I felt the Christmas spirit down deep inside to stay

(O little town of Bethlehem how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight)

It's Just A Thought 
Composer(s): John C. Fogerty
Performer(s): Creedence Clearwater Revival



It's just a thought
But I've noticed something strange
Getting harder to explain
All the years are passing bye and bye
Still I don't know what makes it go
Who said to wait and you'll see? 

It's just a thought
But I wondered if you knew
That the song up there is you
They can't take it from you
If you don't give it away
Don't give it away 
Ooh (It's given away) 

It's just a thought
But the word has come too late
That a bad idea will take
Just about a lifetime to explain
And don't you see
Good one's gonna be much longer
Who's gonna wait, just to see?

Christmas Spirit
Composer(s): Michael Omartian - Bruce Sudano - Donna Summer
Performer(s): Donna Summer



Everyone gather near
And I'll tell you a story that you'll love
Ooh it's christmas time
The season's right
The season's right
And all around the World we celebrate the birth of Christ

He came to bring us peace
He came to bring us everything that we need
To set us free
Oh, I long to feel that Christmas spirit in my heart
Oh, I long to feel that Christmas spirit in my heart

As a child I still recall
Well, Christmas was my favorite season of them all
Oh, my heart was filled with childlike praise
And I hope there is, you know it
Why the Savior came

He came to bring us peace
He came to bring us everything that we need
To set us free
Now I long to feel that Christmas spirit in my heart
Yes, I long to feel that Christmas spirit in my heart

So turn your heart throbs in
And let God grow within
Not to destroy
The greatest gift I've known
He came to earth to bring love
To show us love

He came to bring us peace
He came to bring us joy
He came to bring us everything

Have faith if we believe
The gift that we receive
Is like that love and everything

The greatest gift I've known
He came to Earth to bring love
He came to bring us everything
Still l long to feel that Christmas spirit in my heart
Yes, I long to feel that Christmas spirit in my heart
Now I long to feel that Christmas spirit in my heart

Covered by multiple other artists



Someday, some way, you'll realize that you've been blind
Yes, darling, you're going to need me again
It's just a matter of time

Go on, go on, until you reach the end of the line
But I know you'll pass my way again
It's just a matter of time

After I gave you everything I had
You laughed and called me a clown
Remember, in your search for fortune and fame
What goes up must come down

I know, I know that one day you'll wake up and find
That my love was a true love
It's just a matter of time

It's In The Book
Composer(s): Johnny Standley; Art Thorsen
Performer(s): Johnny Standley



I have a message for you, a very sad message! 
My subject for this evening will be Little Bo Peep

It says here, "Little Bo Peep", who was a little girl 
"has lost her sheep, and doesn't know where to find them" 
Now that's reasonable, isn't it? 
It's, it's reasonable to assume if Little Bo Peep had lost her sheep 
it's only natural that she wouldn't know where to find them 
That, that basically is reasonable, but, uh, "leave them alone" 
Now that overwhelms me … completely overwhelms me 
The man said she lost her sheep, turns right around and boldly states 
"She doesn't know where to find them" 
And then has the stupid audacity to say, "Leave them alone!" 
Now! Now, now think for a moment! Think! 
If the sheep were lost, and you couldn't find them 
you'd have to leave them alone, wouldn't you? 
So, "Leave them alone" 
"Leave them alone"
It's in the book!

"Leave them alone and they", they being the sheep, "they will come home" 
Ah yes, they'll come home 
Oh, there'll be a brighter day tomorrow, they will come home! 
It's in the book

"They will come home a-waggin' their tails" 
Pray tell me what else could they wag? 
"They will come home a-waggin' their tails behind them, behind them!" 
Did we think they'd wag them in front? 
Of course, they might have come home in reverse 
They could have done that, I really don't know 
But, none the less, it's in the book

So now if you will, kindly pick up your books, and turn to page 222
We'll ask you all to sing 
You'll find your books on the backs of your seats 
Are we ready?

Everyone, 222 
Let's really enjoy ourselves, let's live it up 
All together

Do you remember grandma's lye soap?
Good for everything in the home
And the secret was in the scrubbing
It wouldn't suds and couldn't foam

Then let us sing right out for grandma's, for grandma's lye soap
Used for, for everything, everything on the place
For pots and kettles, the dirty dishes
And for your hands and for your face

So we'll now sing the second verse 
Let's get it with great exuberance, let's live it up 
It's not raining inside tonight
Everyone, let's have a happy time 
Are we ready? 
All together, the second verse

Little Herman and brother Thurman
Had an aversion to washing their ears
Grandma scrubbed them with the lye soap
And they haven't heard a word in years

Then let us sing right out for grandma's, for grandma's lye soap
Sing all out, all over the place
For pots and kettles, the dirty dishes
And for your hands and for your face

Well, let's sing what's left of the last verse 
Let's have a happy time, everyone 
The last verse, all together 
Everyone!

Mrs. O'Malley, out in the valley
Suffered from Ulcers, I understand
She swallowed a cake of grandma's lye soap
Has the cleanest ulcers in the land

Then let us sing right out for grandma's, for grandma's lye soap
Sing right out, all over the place
The pots and, the pots and pans, oh dirty dishes
And for your hands and for your face

Christmas Serenade
Performer(s): Johnny Maestro



I walk along the city streets, as it's nearing Christmas day
And the falling snow is music to my ears
In the rumble of the subways, in the shoppers hustling by
There's a melody in everything I hear

It's like a Christmas serenade
Street musicians and the horse drawn sleigh
Coloured street lights watch the world at play
A Christmas serenade

From the Santas on the corner, to the skaters in the park
Every sound's another symphony to me
I can hear the Christmas carols, from the children in the square
Singing songs in perfect harmony

It's like a Christmas serenade
Street musicians and the horse drawn sleigh
Coloured street lights watch the world at play
A Christmas serenade

Deep in my heart I can hear a song
Wish the feeling lasted all year long

It's like a Christmas serenade
Street musicians and the horse drawn sleigh
Coloured street lights watch the world at play
A Christmas serenade

It's like a Christmas serenade
Street musicians and the horse drawn sleigh
Coloured street lights watch the world at play
A Christmas serenade
