Stan' Up An' Fight Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Georges Bizet Performer(s): Joe Adams and multiple other artists
Thanks a lot! I'm sure glad to be To be where I c'n see So many friends o' mine How've I been doin'? How've I been doin'? If you really wanta know de truth I'm doin' fine! Seventeen Decisions in a row An' only five on points De res' was all K.O. Jackson an' Johnson Murphy an' Bronson One by one dey come An' one by one to dreamland dey go How's it done? You ask me, how's it done? I got a trainer man Who taught me all I need to know Sure feels good to have him in my corner Hear his voice a-whisp'rin' low
"Big boy, remember You mus' remember... Stan' up an' fight until you hear de bell Stan' toe to toe Trade blow fer blow Keep punchin' till you make yer punches tell Show dat crowd watcher know! Until you hear dat bell Dat final bell Stan' up an' fight like hell!"
When you fight Out in de open air In a patch o' light De ring looks small an' white Out in de blackness Out in de blackness You c'n feel a hun'erd thousan' eyes Fillin' de night Cigarettes Are blinkin' in de dark An' makin' polka dots Aroun' de baseball park People are quiet Den dere's a riot! Someone t'rows a punch An' plants it right smack on de mark... Somebody's hurt You kinda think it's you You hang across de ropes Da's all you want to do Den you look aroun' an' see your trainer's eyes Beggin' you to see it through Dey say, "Remember Big Boy, remeber
Stan' up an' fight until you hear de bell Stan' toe to toe Trade blow fer blow Keep punchin' till you make yer punches tell Show dat crowd watcher know! Until you hear dat bell Dat final bell Stan, up an' fight like hell!"
He's So Shy Composer(s): Tom Snow; Cynthia Weil Performer(s): The Pointer Sisters; Tom Jones
When I first saw him standin' there He looked away but I did not care Something inside whispered to me You'd better move in carefully
And then he smiled and turned away That told me all he could not say That's when I knew He wanted me too But I had to do some breakin' through
He's so shy So good lookin' He's so shy And he's really got me goin' That sweet little boy who caught my eye He's so shy I'm so glad I got to know him He's so shy 'Cos he's one in a million And I'll love him 'til the day I die Oh, yes I will
Now holding him gently through the night Nothin' has ever felt so right And I'm so glad I took the time That I had to take to make him mine
He can still do things to my heart Just like he could right from the start Each time I see That quality That never stops attracting me
He's so shy That's why I love my baby He's so shy You know he's drivin' me crazy That sweet little boy who caught my eye He's so shy I'm so glad I got to know him He's so shy And I'm so glad I got to show him That I'll love him until the day I die Oh, yes I will
He's so shy Oooh-wee, oooh-wee, baby He's so shy Oooh-wee, oooh-wee, baby He's so shy And that's why. . .
He's So Fine Composer(s): Ronnie Mack Performer(s): The Chiffons
He's so fine Wish he were mine That handsome boy over there The one with the wavy hair I don't know how I'm gonna do it But I'm gonna make him mine Be the envy of all the girls It's just a matter of time He's a soft-spoken guy Also seems kind of shy Makes me wonder if I Should even give him a try But then again he can't shy He can't shy away forever And I'm Gonna make him mine If it takes me forever He's so fine Got to be mine Sooner or later I hope it's not later We've got to get together The sooner the better I just can't wait I just can't wait To be held in his arms If I were a Queen And he asked me to leave my throne I'd do anything that he asked Anything to make him my own For he's so fine So fine So fine
All The Lonely Women In The World Composer(s): Bill Anderson Performer(s): Bill Anderson
This song`s for all the lonely women in the world Drivin` a car sittin` in a bar wherever you are This song`s for all the lonely women in the world Ringin` your hands thinkin` no man understands
To me there`s nothing sadder than to see a lonely one Neglected by the one she loves so much Chances are she works all day and then goes home to nothin' And sits all night just longin` for his touch
Yet, I`ve known girls with husbands in the house and still they`re lonely They`ve lost him to the TV and the beer I guess somehow my heart goes out to all the lonely women In love with all the men who just don`t care
This song`s for all the lonely women in the world Sittin` at home watchin` the phone on and on This song`s for all the lonely women in the world Ringin` your hands thinkin` no man understands...
(He's) Raining In My Sunshine Composer(s): Doc Pomus; Mort Shuman Performer(s): Jay & The Americans
See the raindrops falling, hear them fall so loud Once I stood in sunlight; now darkness is my shroud Rain never ever seemed to bother me Trouble never came my way The light of her love always followed me Till her new love turned my world to gray
Now he's raining in my sunshine, clouding up my sky Yes he's raining in my sunshine, come between her and I
All at once he's taken everything that's mine Now he stands beside her, he walks in my sunshine Why did he have to go and steal my love? Why did he take her away? She was the only thing I had in life She was my sunny day
Now he's raining in my sunshine, clouding up my sky Yes he's raining in my sunshine, come between her and I
She was the only thing I had in life She was my sunny day
Now he's raining in my sunshine, clouding up my sky Yes he's raining in my sunshine, come between her and I
Friends
Composer(s): Glen Campbell - Dick Bowman
First recording/First release by: - 1968/1969
Friends are never earned
They're a gift from a loving God
And they're precious beyond human evaluation
You dare not take them for granted
Or they'll drift away like smoke
And the warmth of their caring will vanish
Into the chill of the endless nights
Most of my friends are unknowns
They probably won't even rate an obituary
Unless they live and die in a small town somewhere
Where nothing much ever happens
But a few of my friends are big people
They're famous, sensitive, talented
And their names are household words
And yet they're no more precious in God's eyes, or in mine
Than those wonderful nobodys who live and die in obscurity
Who's your friend? He's someone who warms you with a nod
Or with an unspoken word in hard times
When you're hurtin' beyond words
She's someone who holds you to her breast
And sighs softly into your hair
When no other medicine could possibly stop the pain
A friend is someone who clinks his glass against yours
Or answers the phone at three in the morning when you're lost
And with a few words of encouragement and concern
Makes you realise that you're not really lost at all
Friends come in both sexes, in all shapes and sizes
The most important thing they have in common
Is their ability to share with you your most sky-splitting joys
Or your deepest most awesome sorrows
Of all the things that I have in this world
I'm most grateful for my friends
He's My Guy Composer(s): Don Raye; Gene De Paul Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald; and various other artists
He's my guy, I don't care what he does 'Cause he's my guy, I guess he always was He's careless about me, I don't think he tries But once in a while he'll hug me and smile Then I can see me in his eyes
Oh he's my guy, I know he'll always be And I will try to keep him loving me However he wants me, I'm his until I die For nobody knows, better than I That he's my guy
Stay away from people made from plastic in a mold And keep your stamped ideas inside your head untold Because I, I, I, baby am protecting you Yes, against the kind of things that other people do I, baby, am protecting you 'cause i'm in love with you So come on baby!
Stay away from people made from plastic in a mold And keep your stamped ideas inside your head untold Because I, I, I, baby am protecting you Yes, against the kind of things that other people do I, baby, am protecting you 'cause i'm in love with you So come on baby!
He's My Dreamboat Composer(s): John D. Loudermilk Performer(s): Connie Francis; Lita Roza
He's my dreamboat, asleep in English class He's my dreamboat, mowin' his folk's grass He's my dream boat with the dreamy, dreamy eyes He's my dreamboat, workin' on his car He's my dreamboat, straddlin' his guitar He's my dreamboat with the dreamy dreamy eyes
Well now I dream of dreamboat in everything I do And I know that darlin' dreamboat Dreams of me too
He's my dreamboat, coffee in a Dixie cup Darling dreamboat, that crazy, silly nut He's my dreamboat with the dreamy, dreamy eyes
Yes, he's my dreamboat, coffee in a Dixie cup Darlin dreamboat, that crazy, silly nut He's my dreamboat with the dreamy, dreamy eyes

Stairway To The Stars (Adapted from: Park Avenue Fantasy - 1934) Composer(s): Mitchell Parish - Matt Malneck - Frank Signorelli Performer(s): Kay Kyser & his Orch. - 1939 and multiple other artists
There's a silver trail of moonlight leading upward to the sky And the night is like a velvet lullaby There's a heaven of blue And we'll go there, just you and I
Let's build a stairway to the stars And climb that stairway to the stars With love beside us to fill the night with a song
We'll hear the sound of violins Out yonder where the blue begins The moon will guide us as we go drifting along
Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal Over the rim of the hill? Can't we sail away on a little dream And settle high on the crest of a thrill?
Let's build a stairway to the stars A lovely stairway to the stars It would be heaven to climb to heaven with you
Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal Over the rim of the hill? Can't we sail away on a little dream And settle high on the crest of a thrill?
Let's build a stairway to the stars A lovely stairway to the stars It would be heaven to climb to heaven with you
He's Home For A Little While Composer(s): Ted Shapiro; Rob Goellner Performer(s): Doris Day & Les Brown; Duke Ellington; Anita Ellis; Dinah Shore
He's home for a little while He's mine once again No need to tell but it feels simply swell With him close to me Where he's supposed to be
He's home for a little while I've lived for his kiss, I hit the skies When he looks in my eyes And my knees grow weak with bliss He's sort of changed He's kind of different From the boy I used to know a while ago
Strange how much he says without a word And when he holds my hand I understand I'm his but for ever more He's mine, mine alone We'll have to part But he's close to my heart For the little while he's home
Stay Forever Composer(s): Simon Gomilek - Diana Lecnik First performance by: Platin - 2004
Ooh... hey yeah yeah
Come on, let's fly away, girl Up on cloud number nine I'd wish to flow You're my most precious pearl Hmm... waiting for you, that's all I need to know
Wait and see how it's gonna be Hold my hand, just don't let go Birds of a feather flock together But time will tell, people say, so
Stay forever and ever You will always be my baby Stay forever, I'll never hurt you I won't make you cry, no, no, no
Stay forever, no matter what may happen Don't give up on me Do whatever, I'll never let go I will catch your fall
Through our sunny and dark sides of life Feelings like this are made to survive What the rest of the world thinks doesn't matter Because we know it better
Stay forever and ever You will always be my baby Stay forever, I'll never hurt you I won't make you cry, no, no, no
Stay forever, no matter what may happen Don't give up on me Do whatever, I'll never let go I will catch your fall
Stay forever and ever You will always be my baby, baby Stay forever, I'll never hurt you I won't make you cry

Stay Forever Composer(s): Hal Ketchum - Benmont Tench Performer(s): Hal Ketchum
Maybe I pray too much, maybe I'm wastin God's time Livin without your touch, is driving me out of my mind If you could only see, how much you matter to me Maybe you would stay forever
Maybe I care too much, maybe I'll push you away Maybe I'd have my doubts, if I were in your place And if you could see inside, this achin heart of mine Maybe you would stay forever
You don't have to go on living With your back against the wall Let my lovin arms surround you I won't let you fall
And if you would trust in me, and this love of mine We'll sail an endless sea, under a starry sky And when the cold wind blows, we'll hold each other close Maybe you will stay forever
And when the cold wind blows, we'll hold each other close Baby you will stay forever
Stairway To The Sea (French & Italian Versions: Le Petit Chemin De Pierres; Scalinatèlla) Composer(s): Enzo Bonagura - Giuseppe Cioffi - Albert Beach Performer(s): Johnny Mathis
Deep in the night I climb the stairway to the sea And pretend you are there beside me, so close beside me, watching the sea I see us there upon the stairway to the sea Where the mist softly kissed two lovers, hiding from others our love by the sea
Why try to find a new love when your voice keeps calling me? I'm just a lonely pris'ner of the stairway to the sea And there you'll find me waiting for the day of your return But till that day how memories can burn
This is my prayer upon the stairway to the sea That you soon will be there before me, whisp'ring "Adore me" there by the sea
And there you'll find me waiting for the day of your return But till that day how memories can burn
This is my prayer upon the stairway to the sea That you soon will be there before me, whisp'ring "Adore me" there by the sea
He's A Tramp Composer(s): Sonny Burke; Peggy Lee Performer(s): Peggy Lee; and various other artists
He's a tramp, but I love him Breaks a new heart ev'ry day He's a tramp, they adore him And I only hope he'll stay that way
He's a tramp, he's a scoundrel He's a rounder, he's a cad He's a tramp, but I love him Yes, and even I have got it pretty bad
You can never tell when he'll show up He gives you plenty of trouble I guess he's just a no 'count pup But I wish that he were double
He's a tramp, he's a rover And there's nothing more to say If he's a tramp, he's a good one And I wish that I could travel his way Yeah, I wish that I could travel his way Wish that I could travel his way
