Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year Composer(s): Frank Loesser First performance/First recording by: Deanna Durbin/Percy Faith - 1944 Covered by multiple other artists
January and Februay were never so empty and grey Tragic'lly I feel like crying Without you, my darling, I'm dying But let's rather put it this way
Spring will be a little late this year A little late arriving in my lonely world over here For you have left me and where is our April of old You have left me and Winter continues cold
As if to say....... Spring will be a little slow to start A little slow reviving music it made in my heart Yes, time heals all things, so I needn't cling to this fear It's merely that Spring will be a little late this year

It was a warm midsummer night He just came, made me feel alright For one look (Yeah, he's got the look) For one touch (She really wanted him so much) Then he grabbed his old guitar, began to play
He sang to me: "Nana nanana" So naturally it set my heart on fire He truly was my one desire Oh baby, how he was, nana nanana
He sang to me: "Nana nanana" My God, he couldn't get me any higher Was not supposed to be a liar But babe, that's what he was, nana nanana
What a warm midsummer night I just wanted him to hold me real tight For one look (Yeah, he's got the look) For one touch (She really wanted him so much) Then he grabbed his old guitar, began to play

He sang to me: "Nana nanana" My God, he couldn't get me any higher Was not supposed to be a liar But babe, that's what he was, nana nanana
For one look, for one touch Then he grabbed his old guitar, began to play

He sang to me: "Nana nanana" My God, he couldn't get me any higher Was not supposed to be a liar But babe, that's what he was, nana nanana
Was not supposed to be a liar But baby, how he was

Spring days to summer days the heat wave is here let's run free you and me it's that time of the year

I tell ya that there's much anticipation yes for nature's chain reaction and it comes with spring vacation all across the nation
Her Favorite Style Composer(s): Doug Ingle Performer(s): Iron Butterfly
Exciting were her eyes And refreshing was her smile
So loving was her attitude she maintained all the while
She reaped in her softness which created a gentle mood And if I ever felt hunger, she would hand me a bit of food
Ah true, she was exciting Refreshing and loving And still found a way in which she maintained all the while That was her faith That was her favorite style That was her favorite style

Henry Lee Composer(s): Nick Cave Performer(s): Nick Cave
Get down, get down, little Henry Lee And stay all night with me You won't find a girl in this damn world That will compare with me And the wind did howl and the wind did blow La la la la la La la la la lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee I can't get down and I won't get down And stay all night with thee For the girl I have in that merry green land I love far better than thee And the wind did howl and the wind did blow La la la la la La la la la lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee She leaned herself against a fence Just for a kiss or two And with a little pen-knife held in her hand She plugged him through and through And the wind did roar and the wind did moan La la la la la La la la la lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee Come take him by his lilly-white hands Come take him by his feet And throw him in this deep deep well Which is more than one hundred feet And the wind did howl and the wind did blow La la la la la La la la la lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee Lie there, lie there, little Henry Lee Till the flesh drops from your bones For the girl you have in that merry green land Can wait forever for you to come home And the wind did howl and the wind did moan La la la la la La la la la lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
Spring Is Here (In Person)
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Lorenz Hart
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
Spring is here in person
How does it look for tonight
Let your Pa and Ma do the cursin'
It's Spring in person that makes it bright
We can knock each care down
So let's be happy for spite
And let's be letting our hair down
How does it look for tonight
Spring is here in person
How does it look for tonight
Let your Pa and Ma do the cursin'
It's Spring in person that makes it bright
We'll make light as a feather
So let's be happy for spite
And let's be getting together
How does it look for tonight
An Ulsterman I am proud to be From the Antrim Glens I come Although I labour by the sea I have followed flag and drum I have heard the martial tramp of men I've seen them fight and die Ah, lads, I well remember when I followed Henry Joy
I pulled my boat up from the sea I hid my sails away I hung my nets on a greenwood tree And I scanned the moonlit bay The boys were out, and the Redcoats too I kissed my wife goodbye And in the shade of the greenwood glade I followed Henry Joy" In Antrim town the tyrant stood He tore our ranks with ball But with a cheer and a pike to clear We swept them o'er the wall Our pikes and sabres flushed that day We won, but lost, ah, why? No matter lads, I fought beside And shielded Henry Joy
Ah, boys, for Ireland's cause we fought For her and home we bled Though our pikes were few still our hearts beat true And five to one lay dead And many a lassie mourned her lad And mother mourned her boy For youth was strong in that gallant throng Who followed Henry Joy
Eighties Coming Back Composer(s): Vaiko Eplik First performance by: Ruffus - 2003
You thought you had it coming But now you really, really just don't know It seems you make a deal far too big outta this
Aha, you thought that you'd done it Yeah, you thought that you had heard it all But the state of things is putting you down now Just because, whoah...
You know they say it's just the eighties coming back Can you feel it's the eighties coming back? Yeah, I know it's just the eighties coming Eighties coming, eighties coming Eighties coming back
You said let's do it Let's take it out and dance all night But those deep synthesizer sounds freak you out Whoah...
And now you wake up in the middle of the night In terror, all you do is cry Cold sweat, a cup of tea, no nothing seems to help you Through the night, my God
Now, it feels just like the eighties coming back Can you feel it's the eighties coming back? Yeah, I know it's just the eighties coming Eighties coming, eighties coming Eighties coming back
Yeah, you thought you had it coming But now it looks like you didn't know this But everybody's wearing their hair The way you did fifteen years ago And it makes you wanna cry
Oh, it feels just like the eighties coming back Can you feel it? It's the eighties coming back Yeah, I know it's just the eighties coming Eighties coming, eighties coming Eighties coming back
Spring Is Here Composer(s): Lorenz Hart - Richard Rodgers First performance/First recording by: Dennis King & Vivienne Segal/Frank Sinatra - 1938/1947 Covered by multiple other artists
Once there was a thing called spring When the world was writing verses Like yours and mine All the lads and girls would sing When we sat at little tables And drank May wine Now April, May and June Are sadly out of tune Life has stuck the pin in the balloon
Spring is here! Why doesn't my heart go dancing? Spring is here! Why isn't the waltz entrancing? No desire No ambition leads me Maybe it's because Nobody needs me Spring is here! Why doesn't the breeze delight me? Stars appear! Why doesn't the night invite me? Maybe it's because Nobody loves me Spring is here, I hear!

Hemingway Delira Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Eliades Ochoa
A la deriva la noche... la selva invade el lanchón la luna, bola de sangre la devoró el tiburón las olas vuelan tiñosas rizadas por un ciclón "Pilar" navega sin rumbo bajo un diluvio de ron... En el Caribe... se vive como se escribe se escribe como se vive... en el Caribe... Bajo la noche guajira Hemingway delira Una sirena picúa se proa de mascarón una bandera, a jirones lleva pintado un blasón "Cabeza de cocodrilo y cuerpo de Camarón..." Gregorio, el viejo marino aún sigue siendo el patrón... En el Caribe... se vive, se escribe escribe y vive el Caribe como es Bajo la noche guajira Hemingway delira Una langosta mulata anda buscando el timón y llora una viuda negra sobre la tripulación... Lejana, 'Finca Vigía' sufre una alucinación... Ernest, el aventurero se bate contra el Dragón... En el Caribe... y se bebe y se mueve y se bebe en el Caribe... y se mueve y se bebe y se mueve en el Caribe... al compás del viejo son... Bajo la noche guajira Hemingway delira
