She's My Girl
((Scandinavian Version: Hän Jääköön! (by New Joys) - 1968))
Composer(s): Garry Bonner - Alan Gordon
First release by: The Turtles - 1967
Mornin', mornin' glory If you'd like to know where was I last night Well I saw a girl with a boy in her eye And she's so out of sight She's my girl, and that's where I was last night Off in a dream
She's my girl I took her away last night We went for a ride Off in the sky that's where I was last night
I just come back to tell you There's a little bit of heaven underneath the apple tree And every time I see you with that smile on your face There's a little bit there for me and She's my girl, and that's where I was last night Went for a ride
She's my girl, I took her away last night We went for a ride My girl and that's where I was last night Off in the sky
She's my girl, I took her away last night Off in the sky My girl and that's where I was last night Gettin' so high Off in the sky that's where I was last night
She's my girl, I took her away last night We went for a ride My girl and that's where I was last night Gettin' so high
My girl, I took her away last night Off in the sky My girl and that's where I was last night Gettin' so high
She's My Best Friend Composer(s): Lou Reed First release by: Lou Reed - 1976 Covered by multiple other artists
She's my best friend, certainly not the average girl She's my best friend, understands me when I'm falling down Oh, it hurts to be that way Oh, it hurts to know that you're that kinda fellow Here's to Newspaper Joe, dropped his teeth on the floor Caught his hand in the door Guess that's the way the news goes
If you want to see me Sorry, but I'm not around If you want to be me Turn around, I'm by the window where the light is
She's my best friend, better than a dog or cat She's my best friend, understands me when I'm falling down Oh, it hurts to be that way Oh, it hurts to know that you're that kinda fellow Here's to Mullberry Jane, she made jam when she came Somebody cut off her feet, now jelly rolls in the street If you want to see me Sorry, but I'm not around If you want to feel me Turn around, I'm by the window where the light is
She's my best friend, certainly not the average girl She's my best friend, understands me when I'm falling
Well she's little and she's low, right down on the ground You know she's little and she's low, right down on the ground You know the way she acts makes a rabbit hug a hound
And she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, she's mine She's mine, she's little and low, crippled and she's blind
Everybody's laughin' at me where I go 'Cause I lead my old lady down the road But she's mine, she's mine Well she's mine, she little and low, crippled and she's blind
She's alright, make me feel so good She's alright, make me feel so good Yes if I didn't know The woodpecker wouldn't be pecking no wood
Well, she's little and she's low again, right down on the ground She's little and she's low, right down on the ground You know, the way she acts make a rabbit hug a hound
She's still my baby, she feels so good Yes, she's mine, she's little and low, crippled and she's blind
Hoy caí en Madrid y por casualidad, por casualidad pienso en ti strawberry fields que importa la verdad en Plaza Mayor en Puerta del Sol las chicas van igual...
en París en Berlín en cualquier lugar en cualquier ciudad pienso en ti yo muero por tí que importa la verdad en Río, en Bonn en Constitución las chicas van igual...
Vi tu foto y me dormí en una habitación vi tu foto y me dormí
Hoy caí en Madrid y por casualidad, por casualidad pienso en ti la vida sin fin que importa la verdad
She's mine, she's mine she's mine, she's mine
Después me voy yo necesito de tu amor adonde voy, adonde voy yo necesito de tu amor después me voy, adonde voy yo necesito de tu amor
Vi tu foto y me dormí en una habitación vi tu foto y me dormí
Rockin' Santa (Adapted from: Rockin' Robin - 1958) Composer(s): Jimmy Thomas; Erick Traplin
Performer(s): Erick Traplin
Well he rocks at the North Pole all year long Hoppin' and a boppin' and a singin' his song All the little elves, they tap their toe When they hear Santa go ho, ho, ho
Rockin' Santa, ho, ho, ho Rockin' Santa, ho, ho, ho Well go rockin' Santa Cos' we're really gonna rock tonight
Every little reindeer, every snowman Every little elf in Christmas land All the little toys, standin' in a row Clap their hands sayin' go santa go
A pretty little elf at the toy stand Taught him how to do the bop and it was grand He started shakin' and what do you know He's still boppin' at the North Pole
Well all the elves, will gather `round When they hear Santa's goin' to town They load up his sleigh, shine Rudolph's nose And wave good-bye, sayin' go santa go
She's Like The Wind Composer(s): Patrick Swayze; Stacy Widelitz First release by: Patrick Swayze & Wendy Fraser - 1987
She's like the wind through my tree She rides the night next to me She leads me through moonlight Only to burn me with the sun She's taken my heart But she deosn't know what she's done
Feel her breath on my face Her body close to me Can't look in her eyes She's out of my league Just a fool to believe I have anything she needs She's like the wind
I look in the mirror and all I see Is a young old man with only a dream Am I just fooling myself That she'll stop the pain Living without her I'd go insane
Feel her breath on my face Her body close to me Can't look in her eyes She's out of my league Just a fool to believe I have anything she needs She's like the wind
She's Leaving Home Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney First release by: The Beatles - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins She's silently closing her bedroom door Just leaving a note that she hoped would say more She goes downstairs to the kitchen Clutching her handkerchief She's quietly turning the backdoor key She's stepping outside, and she is free
She - we gave her most of our lives Is leaving - sacrificed most of our lives - home We gave her everything money could buy For so many years
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown She picks up the note that is lying there She's standing alone at the top of the stairs She breaks down and cries to her husband "Daddy, daddy, our baby, she's gone! How could she treat me so thoughtlessly Tell me, why would she do this thing to me?"
She - we never thought of ourselves Is leaving - never a thought for ourselves - home We struggled hard all of our lives to get by Oh, yes we did Struggled for so many years
It's Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away She's got away She's waiting to keep an appointment that she's made She's meeting a man from the motor trade
She - what did we do that was wrong Is leaving - we never knew that we did anything wrong - home Fun is the one thing that money cannot buy
Something inside that was always denied for so many years Why should she treat us so thoughtlessly? Why should she do this to me? Our baby's leaving home I've been living alone for so many years Bye-bye, oh bye-bye, goodbye
She's Leavin' (Bonnie, Please Don't Go) Composer(s): Kevin Johnson Performer(s): Jim Ed Brown
She's leavin', she's leavin', she's on the ship now and leavin' Standing by the gateway, tossin' streamers over my way I find it kinda hard believin' Deceivin', deceivin', my subtle game of deceivin' Standing here and waving, blowin' kisses and behavin' Like it doesn't matter much to see her leavin'
I don't know what, I don't know who, I don't know where she's goin' to I only know she's goin' out of my life Across the sea a-wavin' hands and Col'nel Billy's farewell band I watch the disappearin' face of my wife And I'm doin' all I can to hide the sad confusion in my mind And brace myself with every trick I know And though my lips are beating time to the words of Auld Lang Syne My voice keeps on defyin', cryin' Bonnie, please don't go
Oh that fool in me, persuadin' me to hide the broken pieces of my dignity When a simple reassuring word just to reach out and comfort her Was all I had to say to keep her here with me And I don't know what, I don't know where, I don't know who she's goin' to I only know she's goin' out of my life Across the sea a-wavin' hands and Col'nel Billy's farewell band I watch the disappearin' face of my wife She's leavin', she's leavin'
She's Just My Style Composer(s): Gary Lewis; Leon Russell; Snuff Garrett; Al Capps Performer(s): Gary Lewis and multiple other artists
Ev'ry time I see her she don't even look my way Maybe she will notice me but then what would I say? I would say what's on my mind But the words are hard to find But I'm gonna try to tell her anyway
(Don'tcha know that she's) just my style? (Ev'rything about her) drives me wild (Don'tcha know that she's) just my style? (Ev'rything about her) drives me wild (Don'tcha know that she's) fine so fine?
Other guys who meet her may not think she's much to see I can't begin to tell you what she always does to me Maybe it's the clothes she wears Or the way she combs her hair Oh that makes me want to tell her that I care
(Don'tcha know that she's) just my style? (Ev'rything about her) drives me wild (Don'tcha know that she's) just my style? Ev'rything about her) drives me wild (Don'tcha know that she's) fine so fine?

She's Gonna Let You Down Composer(s): Gerry Beckley Performer(s): America
We're afraid she's gonna let you down Take your money and drop you to the ground Wouldn't want to see you messed around After all the love you think you've found She's gonna let you down
Doesn't matter what we say Love's the stubbornest game to play Given time you might see it our way And we'll be sorry boy until that day She's gonna break away
Remember all the times you helped us through Now here's our chance to do the same for you Guess the thing to do is wait around Lend a hand when you are on the ground She's gonna let you down She's gonna let you down She's gonna let you down
My baby's gone and died on me She's gone but I'm not free Now I know just how much I loved her Now I just sit there and cry Oh, yes she's gone Oh, yes she's gone To that land of no return Got to roam, just got to travel Any place, any old how Faraway to distant places Try to forget, forget it somehow Oh yes, she's gone Oh yes, she's gone But my baby I don't know where I'm going Got to go back, go back sometime That's where I'll stay, that's where I'll die Got to go back, go back sometime That's where you lay, that's where I'll die That's where I'll go That's where I'll go Oh, my precious love, that's where I'll go
She's Funny That Way Composer(s): Kurt Elling; Neil Moret; Richard Whiting First recording/First release by: Gene Austin - 1928/1929 Covered by multiple other artists
I'm not much to look at, I'm nothing to see I'm just glad I'm living, lucky to be I've got a woman who's crazy 'bout me She's funny that way
I can't save a dollar, I ain't worth a cent She doesn't holler, she'd live in a tent I've got a woman, crazy 'bout me She's funny that way
Though she loves to work and slave for me every day She'd be so much better off if I went away
But why should I leave her? Why should I go? She'd be unhappy without me I know I've got a woman who's crazy 'bout me She's funny that way
She's From Missouri From the Paramount Picture "Dixie" Composer(s): Jimmy Van Heusen; Johnny Burke Performer(s): Bing Crosby
That girl you saw me with last night Ain't she grand! In case you meet her, which you might Well, you've simply got to understand
She's from Missouri You'd know it right away She's from Missouri Be careful what you say Don't try to fool her What a fool you'd be When she has those eyes that say "You've got to show me"
We'll soon be sweethearts Her glances tell me so Yet when I ask her She sighs and answers "No" I don't believe her I'll tell you why She's from Missouri But so am I!
She's Everybody's Baby But Mine Composer(s): Steven Fromholz Performer(s): Steven Fromholz
She's everybody's baby but mine Only wish she'd take her loves on one at a time If you ask me why I am cryin' She's everybody's baby but mine
I recall the day she left Saw her off all by myself By myself I watched her fly away Now she runs with the retinues Of gay young men and ingenues I read about her in the Dallas Morning News today
She's everybody's baby but mine Only wish she'd take her loves on one at a time If you ask me why I am cryin' She's everybody's baby but mine
She can sing like a mockingbird Sweetest songs you ever heard Waitin' on her every word were we Now she sings on the concert stage From coast to coast, she's the latest rage Never seemed to find the time for me
She's everybody's eaby but mine Only wish she'd take her loves on one at a time If you ask me why I am cryin' She's everybody's baby but mine
Now and then she'll come back home Usually when she's feelin' lonely Calls me on the phone to hold her hand We go walkin' on a summer's evening Try to talk, she ends up leaving For Hollywood - back to her promised land
She's everybody's baby but mine Only wish she'd take her loves on one at a time If you ask me why I am cryin' She's everybody's baby She's everybody's baby She's everybody's baby but mine Everybody's baby but mine
She's Dixie All The Time Composer(s): Alfred Bryan; Harry Tierney
Wedding bells are ringing gay "Way down Alabama way For a new married couple leaving Dixie, they say Then a grey hair'd mammy smil'd As she said "God bless you child" That girl's grieving 'cause she's leaving She can't stay away
What's the matter tell me, Joe Don't you like the ice and snow" Said the clerk at the Astor as they pack'd up to go Then the gay young bridegroom sigh'd As he pointed to the bride "She's the reason, not the season She can't be denied
She was born in old Kentucky She was raised in Tennessee Went to school in Alabama Where she learn'd her ABC Then she mov'd down to Georgia when she was sixteen Spent vacation with her relation 'Bout a year or two in New Orleans She's been in every state in Dixie 'cept the state of marriage bliss She takes a dip each morning in the Brandy wine Hangs her clothes upon the Mason Dixon Line She was born and rais'd in Dixie And she's Dixie all the time
My Love Affair With Trains Composer(s): Dolly Parton Performer(s): Merle Haggard
Ev'rytime I hear the sound of a train Comin' down that railroad track I get that faraway look in my eye And I'd like to throw my hammer down And take off to some distant town And not even take the time to say goodbye
I've got to think about my babies About my job and my ol' lady And how much she'd miss me if I's gone And I love them more than anything But I got this feelin' near by trains And some other wish I's on that train and gone
That train keeps a-rollin' down the track Bringin' my old mem'ries back Makin' hobo blood boil in my veins Revivin' my old love affair with trains
The nights ain't never long enough My wife keeps sayin', "You get up Or you'll be late to work and miss your ride" I grab my dinner bucket up And jump on the back of Joe's pickup truck And I wonder if I'll jump that train tonight
And it wasn't long ago that I was free To jump that train and ride But I gave it up to be a family man And I don't suppose I'll ever go But when I hear that whistle blow I think of my ol' love affair again
That train keeps comin' down the track Bringin' my old mem'ries back Makin' the hobo blood boil in my veins Revivin' my old love affair with trains
That train keeps comin' down the track Bringin' my old mem'ries back Makin' the hobo blood boil in my veins Revivin' my old love affair with trains
