Has Anybody Seen Our Cat? Composer(s): T.W. Conner; James T. Powers
I'm upset now let me tell you why Our old cat sneaked away, upon the sly My old Ma declares it is a sign that bad luck's coming and two to one it's mine! I've been wond'ring who I am to blame for sneaking the bacon and the brawn and the can of milk and beef steak pie When they're missing on a Sunday morn!
Every night, as soon as we're in bed All his old pals gather overhead Gently calling for him to come out and play a game of leapfrog 'round the gutter of the spout In despair, I went to the police They told me not to feel so blue He might turn up in a penny mince pie or With his wife, in a day or two!
Has anybody seen our cat? Has anybody seen our cat? He's got a bit o'black on the end of his tail and the skin all off where he's been fighting Last Sunday morning we miss'd him from the mat Puss, puss, puss, puss, meat, meat, meat! Has anybody seen our cat?
Too Much Composer(s): Arnis Mednis - Gustavs Terzens First performance by: Arnis Mednis - 2001
The day before marriage, I was out so long in the night My lovely fiancée no more is feelin' my sight Why do I feel this way? - Dunno, last night was great But something's screwin' me up, I swear to God I will stop
Too much, too much, too much, I say My life - it looks like a cabaret Too much, too much, too much, enough I swear I'll never use that stuff
Oo... baby, take me back (Okay) Oh.... give me one more smile (All right) You're mine and only one (We'll see) Why, darling, you don't come?
The day after marriage, I went in the streets with my bride She wanted coffee - oh no, I'm voting for beer You see how good is she - my caring, lovely fiancée We walked into the bar through light Oh God - there's girls from last night
Too much, too much, too much, I say My life - it looks like a cabaret Too much, too much, too much, enough I swear I'll never use that stuff
Oo... baby, take me back (Okay) Oh.... give me one more smile (All right) You're mine and only one (We'll see) Why, darling, you don't come? (Too much)
Oo... baby, take me back (Okay) Oh.... give me one more smile (All right) You're mine and only one (We'll see) Why, darling, you don't come? (Too much)

Whenever I'm with you
Something inside
Starts to burn deep
And my heart's filled with fire
Could be that I'm very sentimental
Or is this just the way love's supposed to be?
I got a heatwave
Burning in my heart
I can't keep from crying
Tearing me apart
Sometimes she calls my name
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't explain
I feel, yeah I feel
I feel this burning flame
This high blood pressure's got a hold on me
'Cause this is the way love's supposed to be
I got a heatwave
Burning in my heart
I can't keep from crying
Tearing me apart
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Just give me another chance
This could be a new romance

Spanish Rose Composer(s): Charles Strouse - Lee Adams
Rosie: I'm just a Spanish tamale according to Mae Right off the boat from the tropics far far away Which is kind of funny Since where I come from is Allentown, Pa Spanish! Ok, may I'll be Spanish Right after I've married Alberto
I'll be the toast of chi-chi Costanango, And all day long my castanets will click! I'll hide behind my fan and do the tango! I'll be so Spanish it'll make you sick! I'll eat the tacos and the enchilada! I'll drink Tequila till I feel no pain! The only song I'll sing will be "Granada"! I'll be more "español" than Abbe Lane!
Coo coo coo La cuc.........racha Ssssso Call me the wild Spanish rose! The craziest flower that grows I'll kick up my heels and see How it feels to be sultry Spanish rose Olé!
Behind my mantilla I will pose The beauty that nobody knows! So regal and cool, exciting and cruel, That's me! Spanish rose
(My name Rosita Hernandez!) (You'll buy my "tortilla"!) (You like me, yes? No? Maybe? "Eeyuckh!")
"Americano" let me give you a bit of advice To cross Spanish do not twice Your match you have found So don't mess around Her heart is cold as ice!
With Albert I will dance to the bolero We'll cha cha in the nicest honky tonks Hell wear a little mustache and sombrero My handsome Latin lover from the Bronx
So now that you've met Spanish rose Never forget Spanish rose Shell taunt you, Shell tame you but what man can blame you For worshiping Spanish rose.
Not Danish Not British Not Swedish Not Yiddish But span............................ish Rosa!

Listen To Your Heartbeat Composer(s): Thomas G:so - Henrik Sethsson First performance by: Friends - 2001
I wanna know what you feel inside Is something wrong? Why did you leave last night? Is it all just a game? Oh... tell me why we can't be lovers
I do believe in the two of us That you and me we are the only ones And we were meant to be true, so tell me why we can't be lovers
How could I be such a fool I thought I already knew it all, but I know I was totally wrong
Listen to your heartbeat it will take you higher Follow your emotions I know you'll get stronger Listen to your heartbeat the feeling will guide you Hold on to devotion I know it's inside you
How will I know if you're fooling me? Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to be Like it's all just a game, and I just want us to be lovers
We had it all in our hands Just like those all happy ends I still don't know why, but we lost it somehow
Listen to your heartbeat it will take you higher Follow your emotions I know you'll get stronger Listen to your heartbeat the feeling will guide you Hold on to devotion I know it's inside you
One more chance to make a try Nothing left to do for you and I
Listen to your heartbeat it will take you higher Follow your emotions I know you'll get stronger Listen to your heartbeat the feeling will guide you Hold on to devotion I know it's inside you
Heather Composer(s): Paul Vance; Lee Pockriss Performer(s): The Cuff Links
Heather ties her hair with golden daffodils And her eyes reflect the sunshine of the sea Heather smiles and tells me that she's feeling fine But Heather's silent tears are always crying
Heather wears a straw white hat upon her head Ties a satin ribbon underneath her chin Climbs a purple mountain somewhere in her mind And finds her shadow near a river crying
Heather come to me, don't cry, don't run away Together there's tomorrow but alone there's only yesterday Heather come to me, don't cry, just take my hand Love will be the answer to the loneliness we cannot understand
Heather smile and then I'll find a rainbow ring I'll tie it to your finger with a golden string Promising forever that my love will bring The sunshine in the morning when I wake you
Heather come to me, Heather don't you know The happy place you're searching for is in my heart I love you so

Worry Onto Those That Shed Innocent Blood Of Jah People
Jah shall clean out the bad weeds and seperate them from the good 'cause the day of harvest is near
Worry unto those that say they're of Israel (and they are not) Worry unto those that say they're Jews (and they are not) 'Cause they shall be cast away like chaff that the wind driveth away I say
Jah shall clean out the bad weeds and seperate them from the good 'cause the day of harvest is near
Death to the black and white opressors who have oppressed Jah Children innocently I throw my word without partiality - Listen to I Let it fall, and let it fall, let Babylon fall
Jah shall clean out the bad weeds and seperate them from the good 'cause the day of harvest is near
Worry unto those that say they're of Israel (and they are not) Worry unto those that say they're Jews (and they are not) 'Cause Jah shall have them in his region They're half the season (?) 'Cause they shall be cast away like chaff that the wind driveth away I say
Jah shall clean out the bad weeds and seperate them from the good 'cause the day of harvest is near
Spanish Pipedream Composer(s): John Prine First release by: John Prine - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists
She was a level-headed dancer on the road to alcohol And I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal Well she pressed her chest against me About the time the juke box broke Yeah, she gave me a peck on the back of my neck And these are the words she spoke
Blow up your T.V. Throw away your paper Go to the country Build you a home Plant a little garden Eat a lot of peaches Try and find Jesus on your own
Well, I sat there at the table and I acted real naive For I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve Well, she danced around the bar room and she did the hoochy-coo Yeah she sang her song all night long, tellin' me what to do
Blow up your T.V. Throw away your paper Go to the country Build you a home Plant a little garden Eat a lot of peaches Try and find Jesus on your own
Well, I was young and hungry and about to leave that place When just as I was leavin', well she looked me in the face I said "You must know the answer" She said, "No but I'll give it a try" And to this very day we've been livin' our way And here is the reason why
We blew up our T.V. Threw away our paper Went to the country Built us a home Had a lot of children Fed 'em on peaches They all found Jesus on their own
Heat Wave ((aka (We're Having A) Heat Wave))
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Marilyn Monroe
Oh! We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave
The temperature's rising, it isn't surprising
She certainly can can-can
She started a heat wave by letting her seat wave
In such a way that the customers say
That she certainly can can-can
Gee, gee! Her anatomy makes the mercury rise to 93!
Having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave, the way that she moves
That thermometer proves that she certainly can.....
(What's your name honey? Pablo) Certainly can....
(Chico, Miguelito, Pablo, Chico, Miguelito).....oh, can-can
Pablo, it's saying here in the weather report
It's saying a fairly warm air is moving in from..
(Where?) Jamaica
Moderately high air pressure will cover the NE and..
(Where else?) The Deep South
Small danger of (what?) Fruit frost!
Hot and humid nights can be expected
Vincent 95, Guadeloupe 97, Santo Domingo 99
Pardon me? 105?
We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave
The temperature's rising, it isn't surprising
I certainly can can-can
I started this heat wave in such a way
That the customers say that I certainly can can-can
The man who need makes the mercury rise to 93
We're having a heat wave, a tropical, a tropical heat wave
The way that I move, that thermometer grooves
(She certainly, certainly, certainly can}
I certainly, certainly, certainly can can-can
Harvest Of Love Composer(s): Benny Hill Performer(s): Benny Hill; The Rockin' Berries
I rise at six and then I feed the chicks And I'm feeling lonesome and blue And when I milk the cow it seems, somehow My thoughts keep straying to you And as the horse and I plough the field nearby Your memory I can't erase For while I walk at the rear of the horse, my dear I seem to see your face
Chorus: I'm gonna sow the seed of deep devotion, fertilize it with emotion Water it with warm desire and then I'll reap the harvest of love
Yes, I was happy as a pig in spite of the way that you looked at me When I met you at the village dance But you was in the ladies' excuse me at the time I thought I would never have a chance But you let me walk you home across Blatt's Meadow And I knew that with you I should be a hit 'Cause I got an old cow to get up walk away So that you'd have somewhere nice and dry to sit
Chorus
Side by side we will take a ride In my horse and buggy one day And when the daylight ends and the night descends And my horse'll run out of hay And I will kiss your lips, those tempting lips The only ones that can thrill me And I would hold you tight 'neath the stars so bright If the wife ever finds out she'll kill me

No promises, no kiss goodbye to you Just keep on smilin', my Lady Alpine Blue Blue
The slipping serpentine night Would cuddle, keep us tender And smother warning signs My old mistakes should send her Eternity for us to try The dawn will tell us if we fly La lalalai lai lala lai lai... If we fly La lalalai la lalalai...
No promises, no kiss goodbye to you Just keep on smilin', my Lady Alpine Blue
No promises, no promises No promises, no promises

What can I hear? Who can I see? What's this I fear that's followin' me? It's getting louder, it's coming near I can not stand it, I'm gettin' outta here
You'd better beware now You'd better take care now The street of the sinner So you'll never be a winner
The rain is falling around my feet The night is calling on this well-lit street People in doorways just stand and stare Castaway shadows that really aren't there
You'd better beware now You'd better take care now The street of the sinner So you'll never be a winner
What can I hear? Who can I see? What's this I fear that's followin' me? It's getting louder, it's coming near I can not stand it, I'm getting outta here
You'd better beware now Yeah you'd better take care now The street of the sinner So you'll never be a winner

Spanish Lullaby Composer(s): Bill Johnson Performer(s): Marty Robbins
This my friends is an old Spanish lullaby And it's been handed down from generation to generation And in it, a father is singing to his baby son And he's telling him, "Close your eyes little one and sleep And dream while the angels watch over you I will hold your hand And when you wake with the morning, I'll still be here
Cierras ya tus ojitos Duermete sin temor Sueña con angelitos parecidos a ti Y te agarrare tu mano Duermete sin temor Cuando tu despiertes yo estare aqui

Hearts On Fire Composer(s): Walter Egan; Tom Guidera Performer(s): Gram Parsons
Hearts on fire My love for you brought only misery Hearts on fire Put out the flames and set this cold heart free One short year our love burned Until at last I guess you learned The art of being untrue and then goodbye What could I do except to cry and moan Lord, what have I done?
Once we were as sweet and warm as the golden morning sun Hearts on fire My love for you brought only misery Hearts on fire Put out the flames and set this cold heart free
Friends say it's just a game And that no one is to blame Go out forget her lies But she'll be there and sparks will fly My love has turned to hatred Sleep escapes me still God, please take this heart of mine Cause if you don't the devil will Hearts on fire My love for you brought only misery Hearts on fire Put out the flames and set this cold heart free Hearts on fire
