She Works Hard For The Money Composer(s): Donna Summer; Michael Omartian First release by: Donna Summer - 1983
She works hard for the money So hard for it, honey She works hard for the money So you better treat her right
Onetta here in the corner stand and wonders where she is And it's strange to her, some people seem to have everything 9 am on the hour hand and she's waiting for the bell And she's looking real pretty She's waiting for her clientele
She works hard for the money So hard for it, honey She works hard for the money So you better treat her right
Twentyeight years have come and gone And she's seen a lot of tears of the ones who come in They really seem to need her there It's a sacrifice working day to day For little money just tips for pay But it's worth it all just to hear them say that they care
She works hard for the money So hard for it, honey She works hard for the money So you better treat her right
She already knows she's seen her bad times She already knows these are the good times She'll never sell out, she never will, not for a dollar bill She works haaaaard.........
She works hard for the money So hard for it, honey She works hard for the money So you better treat her right
She Wore A Yellow Ribbon Composer(s): M. Ottner; Leroy Parker; Traditional Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters; Russ Morgan
Round her neck she wore a yellow ribbon She wore it in the winter And the merry month of May When I asked her Why the yellow ribbon? She said Its for my lover who is far far away
Far away, far away, far away, far away She said Its for my lover who is far far away Far away, far away, far away, far away She said Its for my lover who is far far away
When, at first, she met a winsome Johnny He wasnt sure her heart was pure Her eyes were far too bold So, round her neck He tied a yellow ribbon He tied a yellow ribbon Cause it matched her hair of gold
Hair of gold, hair of gold He tied a yellow ribbon Cause it matched her hair of gold Hair of gold, hair of gold He tied a yellow ribbon For her eyes were far too bold
If, perchance, you spy a lovely maiden And by her side, there walks with pride A Johnny strong and gay And round her neck there is a yellow ribbon No matter how you love her Please stay far far away
Far away, far away, far away, far away No matter how you love her Please stay far far away Far away, far away, far away, far away Her love is for another So stay far far away Far far away
Round her neck she wore a yellow ribbon She wore it in the winter And the merry month of May When I asked her Why the yellow ribbon? She said Its for my lover who is far far away
Far away, far away, far away, far away She said Its for my lover who is far far away Far away, far away, far away, far away She said Its for my lover who is far far away
Far far away For her lover who is far far away Round her neck she wore a yellow ribbon She wore it in the winter And the merry month of May When I asked her Why the yellow ribbon? She said Its for my lover who is far far away
Far away, far away, far away, far away She said Its for my lover who is far far away Far away, far away, far away, far away She said Its for my lover who is far far away

She Wears Red Feathers Composer(s): Bob Merrill Performer(s): Guy Mitchell
(She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt) (She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt) She lives on just cocynuts and fish furrom the sea A rose in her hair a gleam in her eyes And love in her heart for me
I worked in a London bank Respectable position From nine to three they serve you tea But doom your disposition Each night at the music hall Travelogues I'd see And once a pearl of a native girl Kept smiling right at me
She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt She lives on just cocynuts and fish furrom the sea A rose in her hair a gleam in her eyes And love in her heart for me
Goodbye to the London bank I started in the sailin' The fourteenth day from Mandalay I spied her from the railin' She knew I was on my way Waited and was true She said you son of an Englishman I've dreamed each night of you
She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt She lives on just cocynuts and fish furrom the sea A rose in her hair a gleam in her eyes And love in her heart for me
I went to her ma and pa And said I loved her only And they both said we could be wed Oh what a ceremony An elephant brought her in Placed her by my side While six baboons got out bassoons And played here comes the bride
I'm back here in London town And though it may sound silly She's here with me and you should see Us walk down Picadilly The boys at the London bank Kinda hold their breath She sits with me and sips her tea Which tickles them to death
She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt She lives on just cocynuts and fish furrom the sea A rose in her hair a gleam in her eyes And love in her heart for me
She Wears My Ring
Composer(s): Felice Bryant; Boudleaux Bryant
Performer(s): Jimmy Bell
and multiple other artists
She wears my ring to show the world that she belongs to me
She wears my ring to show the world she's mine eternally
With loving care I placed it on her finger
To show my love for all the world to see
This tiny ring is a token of tender emotion
An endless pool of love that's as deep as the ocean
She swears to wear it with eternal devotion
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring
She swears to wear it with eternal devotion
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring
This tiny ring is a token of tender emotion
An endless pool of love that's as deep as the ocean
She swears to wear it with eternal devotion
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring
She Was Waitin' For Her Mother At The Station In Torino And You Know I Love You Baby But It's Getting Too Heavy To Laugh
She Was Waitin' For Her Mother At The Station In Torino And You Know I Love You Baby But It's Getting Too Heavy To Laugh Performer(s): Shawn Phillips
The glow Around your face When you see The lightning race I know I'm very near And I can hear The thunder
A woman Of perplexity A woman For eternity A woman Of the land A woman For a man I'm down On my knees And I'm saying Please believe me
It's hard To fall out Of love Completely It's harder To find a way To come back Discreetly To speak Of things anew To weep In quiet blue
Brocade upon your bed Memories should fade At least of you A scepter Of ice and fire A specter Of my desire A girl-child Of such loveliness The woman Of my emptiness
A woman Of famed Renown A woman Who kicks the clown A woman Of the land A woman For a man
She Was Only Seventeen (He Was One Year More) Composer(s): Marty Robbins Performer(s): Marty Robbins; Ray Conniff
(Seventeen, and he was one year more) (Seventeen, and he the girl adored) (Seventeen)
She was only seventeen and he was one year more (Seventeen) She loved him with all her heart, and he the girl adored But all their friends believed they were too young to know the score `Cause she was only seventeen and he was one year more (Seventeen)
Are they old enough to know if love will last for life (Seventeen) Isn't he too young to be a husband, her a wife Well, in the past I bet it's happened more than once before When someone else was seventeen, another one year more
Do we have the right to question love that seems so strong As long as God has no objections, there can be no wrong (Seventeen)
Let us be the first to wish them all the very best (Seventeen) Let us hope their love is strong enough to meet the test 'Cause like I say, I bet it's happened more than once before When someone else was seventeen, another one year more

She Was Happy Till She Met You Composer(s): Charles Graham; Monroe H. Rosenfeld Performer(s): S.H. Dudley
'Twas a bright and sunny day When a young wife went away from her husband Who had wrung her heart with pain On the table lay a note with the simple words she wrote "Good bye! I hope we'll never meet again" Unto her mother she returned The home for which she'd often yearned For every spark of love for him and fled There he sought her out at last with repentance for the past But her mother met him at the door and said
"I have come to say goodbye," said the husband with a sigh "Just let me take her to my heart again" But the mother said: "Too late All her love has turned to hate So go your own way, your pleadings are in vain "She is my wife!" the husband cried "You shall not take her from my side The law forbids you part us we are wed!" "But you've broken every vow, she is yours no longer now My daughter shall not go!" the mother said
She was happy till she met you And the fault is all your own If she wishes to forget you You will please let her alone She has come to her old mother Just because there is no other She'll be happy in her own sweet home
She Wandered Through The Garden Fence Composer(s): Gary Brooker; Keith Reid Performer(s): Procol Harum
She wandered through the garden fence and said 'I've brought at great expense a potion guaranteed to bring relief from all your suffering' And though I said 'You don't exist' she grasped me firmly by the wrist and threw me down upon my back and strapped me to her torture rack And, without further argument I found my mind was also bent upon a course so devious it only made my torment worse
She said, 'I see you cannot speak is it your voice that is too weak? Is it your tongue that is to blame? Maybe you cannot speak for shame Or has your brain been idle too and now it will not think for you?' I hastened to make my reply but found that I could only lie And like a fool I believed myself and thought I was somebody else But she could see what I was then and left me on my own again
She Thinks That She'll Marry Composer(s): Judy Rodman; Duane Orender Performer(s): Judy Rodman
He keeps her in diamonds, he brightens her days He flies her in style to the cities he plays But she's not aware that in every town Others warm to his favours when she's not around
He took her to Paris, he took her to Spain He took her for granted, wouldn't give her his name She lives all alone in a house on a hill An' thinks that she'll marry, but she never will
He told her that someday, he'd make her his own They'd take a vacation together in Rome Then she spoke these words, though they tore her apart: "I'm tired of you playing these games with my heart"
"Oh, I've given you the best years of my life You've given nothin', but maybe some lies I've lived all alone in a house on a hill Thinkin' we'd marry, but we never will"
So time brought it's wisdom, now clearly she sees She's learned to be happy an' she loves bein' free That he longs to hold her an' make her his wife 'Cause there was no happiness left in his life
She lives all alone in a house on a hill With good friends an' good times, her life is filled In his lonely mansion, he longs for her still An' he thinks that she'll marry, but she never will
She Thinks I Still Care Composer(s): Dickey Lee First release by: George Jones - 1962 Covered by multiple other artists
Just because I asked a friend about her Just because I spoke her name somewhere Just because I dialled her number by mistake today She thinks I still care
Just because I haunt the same old places Where the memory of her lingers everywhere Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be, She thinks I still care
Oh if she's happy thinkin' I still need her Then let that silly notion bring her cheer Oh how could she ever be so foolish And where would she get such an idea?
Just because I asked a friend about her Just because I spoke her name somewhere Just because I saw her, then went all to pieces She thinks I still care She thinks I still caaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaare

Quisiera Composer(s): R. de León; M. Baratas; A. Areta Performer(s): Raphael
En el jardin deshabitado Sin el calor de tu presencia El viento gris llora a mi lado La melodia de tu ausencia
Quisiera sentir de nuevo la alegria De ver tus ojos noche y dia Apasionados por la espera Quisiera estar presente entre tus cosas Suspiros, pajaros y rosas En tu jardin y en primavera
Cambiar presente por pasado Y darte en todo la razon Y ver mi amor alborotado Mi solitario corazon
Quisiera contar contigo una por una Todas las manchas de la luna Como soliamos hacer

Heel lang geleden in Bethlehem Zoals de Bijbel zegt Werd Marias kind daar in een kribbe neergelegd Luister toe wat God u zegt Door een engelenstem Opdat de mens voor eeuwig leve Daarom komt Jezus voor
Hoor nu komt de nieuwe Koning Zong een engelenkoor Opdat de mens vooreeuwig leve Daar komt Jezus
Daar hielden herders in de buurt Bij hun schaapjes trouw de wacht Zij zagen plots een nieuwe ster Schitteren in de nacht Toen kwam Jozef en Maria Ook naar Bethlehem Maar er was in heel de stad Geen enkele plaats voor hen
Hoor nu komt de nieuwe Koning Zong een engelenkoor Opdat de mens vooreeuwig leve Daar komt Jezus
En eindelijk vonden zij een stal Waar het eenzaam was en stil Daar werd Marias kind gelegd In een kribbe hard en kil Heel lang geeden in Bethlehem Zoals de Bijbel zegt Werd Marias kind daar in een kribbe gelegd
