Don't work on a Sunday, don't sleep on a Monday Just think of a fun day when your life is getting you down, yeah To get through a heartache, just picture a spring day And play in the bright daylight a while So give it a chance - you won't regret it

You're all out of luck, if you wanna give up, you've got to let go of all your bad memories Breakin' it up means bringing it down, you need to get right back on track 'Cause you're all out of luck, if you wanna give up, you've got to believe in yourself You'll be fine 'cause you'll be mine, so just wake up before it's too late And you're all out of love, you're all out of love Hey yeah... hey yeah... oh yeah...

Happy Birthday Composer(s): Weird Al Yankovic Performer(s): Weird Al Yankovic
Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday to you! Well it's time to celebrate your birthday It happens every year We'll eat a lot of broccoli and drink a lot of beer You should be good and happy that there's somethin' you can eat A million people every day are starvin' in the street Your daddy's in the gutter with the retched and the poor Your momma's in the kitchen with a can of Cycle Four There's garbage in the water There's poison in the sky I guess it won't be long before we're all gonna die! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday to you! Well what's the matter, little friend, you think this party is the pits Enjoy it while you can We'll soon be blown to bits The monkeys in the Pentagon Are gonna cook our goose Their finger's on the button All they need is an excuse It doesn't take a military Genius to see We'll all be crispy critters After World War III There's no where you can run to There's no where you can hide 'Cause when they drop the big one We all get fried! Come on boys and girls, sing along, okay? Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday to you! "Wow!" Well there's a punk in the alley, and he's looking for a fight There's an Arab on the corner buyin' everything in sight There's a mother in the ghetto with another mouth to feed Seems that everywhere you look today there's misery and greed I guess you know the earth is gonna crash into the sun But that's no reason why we shouldn't have a little fun So if you think it's scary, if it's more than you can take Just blow out the candles And have a piece of cake! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday to you! "Wow!" Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday to you! "Happy Birthday!" "And a pinch to grow an inch!"
Southern Gals Composer(s): Jack Yellen - Albert Gumble
I've just come back from the South today And there is one thing I'd like to say Tho' I've been most everywhere I've never seen such gals as they have down there It seems that each little peach you see Is just as sweet as a peach can be Tho' I can't describe them all to you Let me name you just a few
I kind of wish I'd have stay'd down there It's not so much I need the air But it's true and plain to see Those little southern gals made a hit with me And when I march to the wedding tune I've got a hunch I'll be marching soon When you see my bride you'll understand Why I'm stuck on Dixieland
There's Mary down in Maryland She's mighty pretty And sweet Virginia too She'll make a hit with you You'll go dippy over Mississippi And the gals named Caroline They're birds of a feather So they flock together And believe me they're just fine Then there's Lucy Anna with naughty eyes And a peach named Georgia who takes the prize So if you get lonesome any time Come across the Mason Dixon Line And I'll introduce you to those Southern Gals
Happy Birthday Composer(s): Franz Lehar Performer(s): Tom Chapin
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday We love you Happy Birthday And may all your dreams come true When you blow out the candles One light stays aglow It's the love light in your eyes Where'er you go
"Happy Birthday"
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday We love you Happy Birthday And may all your dreams come true When you blow out the candles One light stays aglow It's the love light in your eyes Where'er you go
"Okay, let's sing it one more time for everybody who has a birthday this year"
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday We love you Happy Birthday And may all your dreams come true When you blow out the candles One light stays aglow It's the love light in your eyes Where'er you go
"When you blow out the candles"
When you blow out the candles One light stays aglow It's the love light in your eyes Where'er you go
One Good Reason Composer(s): Tjeerd van Zanen - Alan Michael First performance by: Marlayne - 1999
You know there never was a doubt in my mind You only have to follow and learn how to read the signs A heartache always seems so easy to find But I will never let go, I wanna see what this love has to hide We'll just have to face it, rearrange and place it I'll never let love pass us by
Give me one good reason and I will give you two Say: "I love you forever", say you will, say you do Give me one good reason and I will give you two Say: "I love you forever", say you will, say: "I do"
You know there never was a cloud in my eye All we have is one chance to reach out for the clear blue skies We'll just have to face it, rearrange and place it I'll never let love pass us by
Give me one good reason and I will give you two Say: "I love you forever", say you will, say you do Give me one good reason and I will give you two Say: "I love you forever", say you will, say: "I do"
(And then the heart...) The heart gets stronger with every step that we take (From the moment...) From the moment we go to sleep till the time that we awake (I won't let...) I won't let anybody lead us astray (And then the line...) And then the line from me to you will never break or fade away
Give me one good reason and I will give you two I love you forever, yes, I will, baby, I do
Give me one good reason and I will give you two Say: "I love you forever", say you will, say you do Give me one good reason and I will give you two Say: "I love you forever", say you will, say: "I do"
You know it doesn't make much sense There ought to be a law against Anyone who takes offense At a day in your celebration Cause we all know in our minds That there ought to be a time That we can set aside To show just how much we love you And I'm sure you would agree It couldn't fit more perfectly Than to have a world party on the day you came to be
Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday
I just never understood How a man who died for good Could not have a day that would Be set aside for his recognition Because it should never be Just because some cannot see The dream as clear as he that they should make it become an illusion And we all know everything That he stood for time will bring For in peace our hearts will sing Thanks to Martin Luther King
Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday
Why has there never been a holiday Where peace is celebrated all throughout the world
The time is overdue For people like me and you Who know the way to truth Is love and unity to all God's children It should never be a great event And the whole day should be spent In full remembrance Of those who lived and died for the oneness of all people So let us all begin We know that love can win Let it out don't hold it in Sing it loud as you can
Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday
Happy birthday Happy birthday Happy birthday Ooh yeah Happy birthday... We know the key to unify all people Is in the dream that you had so long ago That lives in all of the hearts of people That believe in unity We'll make the dream become a reality I know we will Because our hearts tell us so
Southern Cross Composer(s): Mike Curtis - Rick Curtis - Stephen Stills First release by: Crosby, Stills & Nash - 1982 Covered by multiple other artists
Got out of town on a boat Goin' to Southern islands Sailing a reach Before a followin' sea She was makin' for the trades On the outside And the downhill run To Papeete Off the wind on this heading Lie the Marquesas We got eighty feet of the waterline Nicely making way In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you But on a midnight watch I realized Why twice you ran away
Think about how many times I have fallen Spirits are using me larger voices callin' What heaven brought you and me Cannot be forgotten I have been around the world Lookin' for that woman/girl Who knows love can endure And you know it will And you know it will
When you see the Southern Cross For the first time You understand now Why you came this way 'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from Is so small But it's as big as the promise The promise of a comin' day So I'm sailing for tomorrow My dreams are a dyin' And my love is an anchor tied to you Tied with a silver chain I have my ship And all her flags are a flyin' She is all that I have left And music is her name
Think about how many times I have fallen Spirits are using me larger voices callin' What heaven brought you and me Cannot be forgotten I have been around the world Lookin' for that woman/girl Who knows love can endure And you know it will And you know it will
So we cheated and we lied And we tested And we never failed to fail It was the easiest thing to do You will survive being bested. Somebody fine Will come along Make me forget about loving you At the Southern Cross
Happy Birthday Composer(s): G. Guarnieri; Pallavicini; Vasseur Performer(s): Joe Dassin
Happy birthday C'est pas parce qu'on est seul qu'on a pas le droit de danser De boire du champagne à sa propre santé De tout illuminer et de se répéter la vie, la vie est belle
Happy birthday Il est beau mon gâteau, cette année un peu plus petit Et y a plus de bougies et je vais dîner aux chandelles En bonne compagnie, la speakerine ce soir est belle
L'an dernier nous étions toi et moi Cette année tu manques à mon gala Et je danse sans partenaire Un ballet qui n'en finit pas
Happy birthday C'est pas parce qu'on est seul, qu'on a pas le droit de parler Du beau temps, de la neige et des anniversaires Qui se sont éloignés des prochains dont tu n'auras rien, rien à faire
Happy birthday Je me suis fait cadeau du blouson que tu n'aimais pas Et d'un bel agenda pour tous mes rendez-vous d'amour Avec toi, pourquoi pas, si tu reviens chez nous un jour
L'an dernier nous étions toi et moi Cette année tu manques à mon gala Et je danse sans partenaire Un ballet qui n'en finit pas
Je Veux Donner Ma Voix First performance by: Nayah - 1999
S'il n'y a plus de frontières De nos vies à nos rêves Et plus qu'une bannière Un sourire à nos lèvres Si les murs sont tombés Qui séparaient nos âmes S'il suffit d'exister Pour faire brûler la flamme S'il suffit de chanter S'il suffit de chanter
Je veux donner ma voix Je veux donner mes mots Je veux donner ma foi Et ma vie en cadeau Je veux donner mon cur Tout l'amour à venir Inventer un bonheur Et ne jamais mourir
S'il n'y a plus de guerre Qu'on ne gagne d'avance S'il n'y a plus de frontières Plus de différences S'il n'y a plus de chaînes Qu'on ne puisse détruire S'il n'y a plus de haine Pour cacher un sourire S'il suffit de chanter S'il suffit de chanter
Happy happy birthday in a hot bath To those nice nice nights I remember always always I got such a fright
Seeing them in my dark cupboard with my great big cake If they were me if they were me And I was you and I was you If they were me and I was you Would you have liked a present too

This Time I Mean It Composer(s): Ebbe Ravn First performance by: Michael Teschl & Trine Jepsen - 1999
(This time I mean it, oh baby)
I don't know what it's all about, but I'm startin' to figure out Simple songs on the radio kinda colour the way I go
Every song holds an inner key to my dreams and my fantasy Defences down and suddenly all your love comes back to me
And this time I mean it, oh baby, this time I mean it and now You got me goin' so crazy even though I don't know how Tried it before but we never happened, we just gotta try it again Well, this time I mean it, oh baby, I'm in love with you again
Oh... I know what was said and done, it's been hard just to carry on The sweetest love left a bitter taste, who's to say it was all a waste?
Mmm... 'cause in each quarrel, in every fight, there's a lesson 'bout wrong and right Oh... looking back, I'm sure to say that we learned from yesterday
So this time I mean it, oh baby, this time I mean it and now You got me goin' so crazy even though I don't know how We tried it before but we never happened, we just gotta try it again Well, this time I mean it, oh baby, I'm in love with you again
This time I mean it, oh baby, I'm in love with you again
Southbound Composer(s): Ned Miller Performer(s): Hank Snow
Hear the clickety clack of the railroad track Means the wheels are rollin' and I'm goin' back To the girl I left in a rundown shack I'm southbound As the miles rush by I miss her more and more tears in my eyes and my heart is sore Soon I'll be a knockin' on her front door I'm southbound Southbound to my baby southbound I'm nearly crazy Gonna take her in my arms and never let her go Never gonna leave her never ever anymore Soon I'll be a knockin' on her front door I'm southbound
Now the rhythm of the wheels call a memory every mile it comes a little closer to me Soon it's gonna be reality I'm southbound My heart keeps sayin' boy you made a mistake Thought you was a rambler but you're only a fake This'll be the last trip I'm a gonna make I'm southbound Southbound to my baby...
Now the night that I left her well she pleaded with me I know that you're leavin' but it has to be I'm hopin' that she is a waitin' for me I'm southbound It's hard to wait till I can see her face I still remember how her sweet lips taste Not another day am I gonna waste I'm southbound (Southbound to my baby...)
Happy Anniversary Composer(s): Bill Eldridge; G. Stewart Performer(s): Roy Rogers
I've watched the gold in your hair turn silver And the sparkle in your eyes dim more each day And the clutch of your hands getting weaker All these things say it wasn't yesterday
So darlin', Happy Anniversary You've made my life for me Once again, thanks for the memory My darlin', Happy Anniversary
The paper we signed has turned yellow Its crumbling edges tend to tell its age Its meaning we will cherish forever But in the book of our lives, it's just a page
So darlin', Happy Anniversary You've made my life for me Once again, thanks for the memory My darlin', Happy Anniversary My darlin', Happy Anniversary
Living My Life Without You Composer(s): Stig André Van Eijk - SEM First performance by: Van Eijk - 1999
Living my life without you can it be true? Something is missing, baby
Ah yeah... (Oh baby, I know it's you)
Nothing feels the same without your loving I can't stop the rain or wind from blowing I search inside my soul, try to recover But life is not the same without my lover
(Since you went away) can't sleep (Since you went away) can't eat My world is falling apart, oh baby, baby
Living my life without you can it be true? Something is missing, baby Living my life without you what can I do? I think I'm going crazy, (It's you)
Tried a new romance, tried to run away But nothing really makes sense when you're gone, baby I never knew how much I needed you, girl What can I do to get you back in my world?
(Since you went away) can't sleep (Since you went away) can't eat My world is falling apart
Living my life without you can it be true? Something is missing, baby Living my life without you what can I do? I think I'm going crazy
It's you (Oh baby, I know it's you) I think I'm going crazy (Oh babe, what more can I do?) It's you
(Hey hey... I think I'm going crazy, baby) (Hey hey...) Living my life without you
(Living my life without you can it be true?) Something is missing, baby Baby... (Living my life without you what) can I do? I think I'm going crazy
(Living my life without you can it be true?) Something is missing, baby (Living my life without you what can I do?) (I think I'm going crazy) I think I'm going crazy It's you
Happy Anniversary Composer(s): Beeb Birtles; David Briggs Performer(s): Little River Band; and various other artists
Happy anniversary baby Got you on my mind Happy anniversary baby Got you on my mind
I'm so happy for you baby Now that you've found somebody new I see it in your eyes, Lord it's no surprise What he can do for you
But when I look back baby When I look back to what we had And I know I'm countin' good times But there were just as many bad
And so I wish you Happy anniversary baby Got you on my mind Happy anniversary baby Got you on my mind
There's a lesson here to learn when your baby ups and leaves you Carry on, don't feel concerned even though you're so much in love You need a little help from above, oh
Happy anniversary baby Got you on my mind Happy anniversary baby Got you on my mind
Oh ain't no foolin' with you baby Only the words are hard to find You got me tremblin' at the knees Answer won't you please Before I lose my mind
This is our fifth year baby And I feel like I'm in jail, Lord I'm holding on to this card Can't seem to get it in the mail And the card reads ...
Happy anniversary baby Got you on my mind Happy anniversary baby Got you on my mind
Ooh yeah, happy anniversary baby Got you on my mind Ah yeah happy anniversary baby Got you on my mind
Oh, have a happy anniversary 'Cause I've got you on my mind Always on my mind

Happy Anniversary Titles In Other Languages: Bon Anniversaire; Buon Anniversario; Qué Buen Aniversario Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Herbert Kretzmer Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Ive been ready for hours and Im wearing my best Ordered champagne and flowers and youre not even dressed Tonights a special night to remember with pride These twenty happy years since you became my bride It is all too absurd; youre so cross and abrupt But I dont say a word or youre bound to erupt Your peculiar moods Ive experienced before So Ill pour another drink and quietly pace the floor Its a quarter to eight as we fretfully wait For your little black dress; that was promised by six Is it just rotten luck when were doing the town That the fates should conspire to let us mortals down I have seats for a show and its opening night My shoes do not fit me and my suit is too tight And you sit there and curse, an occasional curse And Ive got a headache thats quickly getting worse Happy anniversary, Happy anniversary They deliver your frock but youre still in distress It was past nine o clock when I helped you to dress I tried to do you up but it wasnt my day For then to fill my cup your zipper stuck half way I got all in a sweat, over anxious and vexed Will I ever forget the thing that happened next Your dress came apart with one terrible tear Your disappointed cries were more than I could bear At eleven at last, when we got into town We arrived at the show but the curtain was down I suggested a bite. No, no you wanted to walk You had no appetite and no desire to talk So we strolled for an hour and the evening was sweet And I bought you a flower from a man in the street And we kissed on the sidewalk without reason or rhyme And we knew that our love is stronger than time Happy anniversary, Happy anniversary, Happy anniversary
