    Street Kids
    Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
    Performer(s): Elton John



    They must have had the whole thing planned
    There must have been a hundred
    If we make a stand
    I think we'll be outnumbered
    If I'd had the chance
    Then I could understand
    Why I'm a juvenile delinquent
    In an East End gang

    And if you think you've seen gasoline burning in my eyes
    Don't be alarmed, tell yourself it's good to be, it's good to be alive

    It's just another street kid on your tail
    Running on the wrong side of the rails
    With my boot lace tie and my hand-me-downs
    You know I run the toughest bunch this side of town
    Those street kids making news just being around

    I've been bottled and been brained
    Squealers can't be trusted
    If we fight tonight
    You can bet we'll all be busted
    I'd like to break away
    From the rut I'm in
    But beggars can't be choosers
    And I was born to sin

    Let's hear it for the street kids
    Making news just being around

    Yosemite Sam
    Composer(s): Alan Livingston;
    Warren Foster; Mike Maltese; Billy May
    Performer(s): Mel Blanc



    Oh, I'm the toughest hombre that ever lived out West
    Although I'm only two feet tall, my shootin' is the best
    I like to hunt for big black ducks a-way up in the sky
    I like to see if I can hit a duck that's on the fly

    I'll hunt down game, I'll blast away
    I'll shoot where ere I can
    I'll aim my gun, I never miss
    Or my name's not Yosemite Sa-a-a-a-a-am

    Sometimes I reach a rabbit without a single sound
    And then I pull the trigger and the rabbit hits the ground
    Squirrels too are very cute as they go up a tree
    But with my trusty rifle, they can't excape from me

    Oh, I'll hunt down game, I'll blast away
    I'll shoot what ere I can
    I'll aim my gun, I never miss
    Or my name's not Yosemite Sa-a-a-a-a-am

    I sometimes hunt for possum when there's nothin' else to shoot
    Or aim at birds as they fly by, I don't much give a hoot
    I'll even shoot the little deer who run so very fast
    No matter how they run away, they can't escape my blast

    Oh, I'll hunt down game, I'll blast away
    I'll shoot what ere I can
    I'll aim my gun, I never miss
    Or my name's not Yosemite Sa-ay-ay-yam

    But I must really tell you, I know you will be glad
    That though I shoot a lot of things, I'm not so very bad
    For from my little rifle, an animal never drops
    For instead of usin' bullets, I load it with gumdrops

    Oh, I'll hunt down game, I'll blast away
    I'll shoot what ere I can
    I'll aim my gun, I never miss
    Or my name's not Yosemite Sa-a-a-a-a-am

    YAA-HAAA!

    After December Slips Away
    Composer(s): Lowell Alexander - Bonnie Keen
    Performer(s): First Call; Donnie Osmond



    The season comes but once a year
    A gift of precious wonder
    For all who hold it dear
    But past the sights and coloured lights
    Lord, far beyond December
    I will remember

    After the carols fade away
    After the Yule fire dies down
    When there are no longer dreams to open and see
    Because You are hope and joy and peace
    Because You're the only gift I need
    In my heart the season will remain
    After December slips away

    Years ago beneath a tree
    Fell the drops of crimson
    That set the faithful free
    The gift was life sent in love
    Lord, far beyond December
    I will remember

    After the carols fade away
    After the Yule fire dies down
    When there are no longer dreams to open and see
    Because You are hope and joy and peace
    Because You're the only gift I need
    In my heart the season will remain
    After December slips away

    No matter how bright the glitter shines
    No matter how many hopes come true
    I know that all I have
    Begins and ends with You

    After the carols fade away
    After the Yule fire dies down
    When there are no longer dreams to open and see
    Because You are hope and joy and peace
    Because You're the only gift I need
    In my heart the season will remain
    After December slips away
    In my heart the season will remain
    After December slips away

    Yonder Comes A Sucker
    Composer(s): Jim Reeves
    Performer(s): Jim Reeves



    (Chorus:)
    Railroad, steamboat, river and canal
    Yonder comes a sucker, and he’s got my gal
    And she’s gone, gone, gone
    And she’s gone, gone, gone
    And I’ll bid her my last farewell

    I fell in love with a pretty little thing
    I thought that wedding bells would ring
    She was as sweet as sweet could be
    ‘Till I found out what she did to me

    (Repeat Chorus)

    I asked her mother to let her go
    She whispered, “Mother, please tell him no
    Though he may think that I am true
    There’s plenty more who think so too”

    (Repeat Chorus)

    Now, I won’t cry my life away
    Some other sucker will have to pay
    And when he finds that she is gone
    I guess I’ll hear him sing this song

    (Repeat Chorus)

    Street Corner Serenade
    Composer(s): Michael Duke - Jack Hall - Marshall Smith
    Performer(s): Wet Willie



    Down on the corner in my home town
    Me and the fellows used to gather round
    The song we sang it sounded so sweet
    I can still hear that harmony
    Singin de de de de deet
    Who, whoa oh ah ah

    Guide he's the one that sang down low
    Crazy Larry sang the baritone
    I'm the one that sang the lead
    Little Jackie made our song complete
    Singin de de de de deet
    Who, whoa oh ah ah

    When a pretty girl would come passing by
    We tried too hard to catch her eye
    And when she stopped to check us out
    That's when we really sang out loud
    Singin de de de de deet
    Who, whoa oh ah ah

    I still remember those happy days
    We passed our time in carefree ways
    Maybe someday we'll get together again
    Down on the corner with my old friends
    Singin de de de de deet
    Who, whoa oh ah ah

    Performer(s): Elton John



    Street guys, walking, dancing
    Sidewalk, music, hot thing
    They got their boxes tuned into their favorite show
    As they truck on down the road
    Is that the radio
    Yes that's the radio
    Let it go, let it go, let it go

    Street boogie got a hold on me
    Street boogie gonna set me free
    Street boogie keep a hold on me
    It's alright, it's alright, it's alright with me

    Street boogie, it's the city beat
    Street boogie, on the boogie street
    Street boogie, yeah and that's for me
    Street boogie, street boogie, street boogie, street boogie

    Traffic, skater, rolling
    Sharing, music, sure thing
    He got his shoulder holster turned a way up loud
    As he wheels his way around
    Is that the radio
    Yes that's the radio
    Catch the sound, catch the sound, catch the sound

    Boogie, street boogie

    (Theme Song)
    Composer(s): Joseph Barbera; Hoyt Curtin; William Hanna



    Yogi Bear is smarter than the average bear
    Yogi Bear is always in the Ranger's hair
    At a picnic table you will find him there
    Stuffing down more goodies than the average bear
    He will sleep till noon but before it's dark
    He'll have every picnic basket left in Jellystone Park
    Yogi has it better then a millionaire
    That's because he's smarter than the average bear

    Oooooooh
    Black and orange stray cat sittin' on a fence
    Ain't got enough dough to pay the rent
    I'm flat broke but I don't care
    I strut right by with my tail in the air
    Stray cat strut I'm a ladies cat
    I'm a feline casanova hey man that's that
    Get a shoe thrown at me from a mean old man
    Get my dinner from a garbage can

    Meow
    Yeah, don't cross my path!
    I don't bother chasing mice around
    I slink down the alley lookin' for a fight
    Howlin' to the moonlight on a hot summer night
    Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry
    "Wild stray cat, you're a real gone guy"
    I wish I could be as carefree and wild
    But I got cat class and I got cat style

    Yoga Is As Yoga Does
    Composer(s): Gerald Nelson; Fred Burch
    Performer(s): Elvis Presley; Gerald Nelson



    Well I can see that you and yoga will never do

    Yoga is as yoga does there's no in-between
    Your either with it on the ball or you've blown the scene
    I can see lookin' at you, you just can't get settled
    How can I even move, twistin' like a pretzel

    (Yoga is, yoga does)
    (There's no in-between)
    (Your either with it all the way) Or you've blown the scene
    (Or you've blown the scene)

    Come on come on, untwist my legs
    Pull my arms a lot
    How did I get so tied up
    In this yoga knot
    You tell me just how I can take this yoga serious
    When all it ever gives to me is a pain in my posteriors

    (Yoga is, yoga does)
    (There's no in-between)
    (Your either with it all the way) Or you've blown the scene
    (Or you've blown the scene)

    Stand upside down on your head, feet against the wall
    A simple yoga exercise done by one and all
    Now cross your eyes and hold your breath, look just like a clown
    Yoga's sure to catch you if you come falling down

    (Yoga is, yoga does)
    (There's no in-between)
    (Your either with it all the way) Or you've blown the scene
    (Or you've blown the scene)

    (Yoga is, yoga does)
    (There's no in-between)
    (Your either with it all the way) Or you've blown the scene

    Straws
    Performer(s): Bill Ward



    I’m sorry to wake you from
    Your sleep
    Now baby open up your eyes

    We have to go downstairs
    Find some shelter
    Get some help
    And stay alive

    How am I supposed to save you
    In this chaos
    Clinging, please don’t die

    Where are the defenses
    We were promised, oh I hope that they’ve arrived

    Bring it on, the misery, tonight
    Come and tell the story here tonight

    We never ever have to even look
    no no
    no no
    no no

    Turn away, we never have to look
    no no
    no no
    no no

    Put your eyes on mine forever
    This will be our last endeavor
    Baby we won’t ever have to look

    Daddy’s in the Army, Daddy’s in the Army
    And, Mommy’s joining too
    God help all the countries
    They do know what they do

    We never ever have to even look
    no no
    no no
    no no

    Turn away, we never have to look
    no no
    no no
    no no

    Hell bound in the senses
    Much too late to point and blame
    When questioning why

    Let’s pretend that we’re dancing
    As in yesterday, when it was stars that
    filled the sky
    Yeah, sky

    Bring it on, the misery, tonight
    Come and tell the story here tonight

    We never ever have to even look
    no no
    no no
    no no

    Turn away, we never have to look
    no no
    no no
    no no

    Put your eyes on mine forever
    This will be our last endeavor
    Baby we won’t ever have to look

    Yodeling Ghost
    Composer(s): John Jerome
    Performer(s): Patsy Montana;
    Bing Crosby & The Andrew Sisters



    Everybody in the valley
    Has a strange tale to tell
    The story of a haunted house
    And a ghost they all kne well

    Well they tell the tale of a yodelin' ghost
    And when the Moon is high
    You could hear this woman's ghostly wail
    But there was no ghost in sight

    She would yod-oo-del in the cellar
    She would yod-oo-del in the hall
    When the clock struck midnight
    You could hear her best of all

    (Yodeling)

    Well the womenfolk said they believed
    It was wind howling through the place
    But the menfolks all insisted
    They could feel her fond embrace

    Well the women were a jealous lot
    So they burned the old house down
    There's nothing left but ashes now
    But her yodel is still around

    She yod-oo-dels in the valley
    She yod-oo-dels in the hills
    She yodels till the Sun comes up
    And everything is still

    (Yodeling...........Fade)

    Across The Sky The Shades Of Night
    Composer(s): Nikolaus Decius - James Hamilton



    Across the sky the shades of night
    This New Year's Eve are fleeting
    We deck Thine altar, Lord, with light
    In solemn worship meeting
    And as the year's last hours go by
    We raise to Thee our earnest cry
    Once more Thy love entreating

    Before the cross subdued we bow
    To Thee our prayers addressing
    Recounting all Thy mercies now
    And all our sins confessing
    Beseeching Thee this coming year
    To keep us in Thy faith and fear
    And crown us with Thy blessing

    And while we pray, we lift our eyes
    To dear ones gone before us
    Safe home with Thee in Paradise
    Whose peace descendeth o'er us
    And beg of Thee, when life is past
    To reunite us all at last
    With those who've gone before us

    We gather up in this brief hour
    The memory of Thy mercies
    Thy wondrous goodness, love, and power
    Our grateful song rehearses
    For Thou hast been our Strength and Stay
    In many a dark and dreary day
    Of sorrow and reverses

    In many an hour when fear and dread
    Like evil spells, have bound us
    And clouds were gathering overhead
    Thy providence hath found us
    In many a night when seas ran high
    Thy gracious presence, drawing nigh
    Hath made all calm around us

    Then, O great God, in years to come
    Whatever may betide us
    Right onward through our journey home
    Be Thou at hand to guide us
    Nor leave us till at close of life
    Safe from all perils, toil, and strife
    Heaven shall enfold and hide us

    Mi voz puede volar, puede atravezar
    cualquier herida, cualquier tiempo
    cualquier soledad, sin que la pueda controlar
    toma forma de canción, así es mi voz
    que sale de mi corazón

    Y volará, sin yo querer
    por los caminos más lejanos
    por los sueños que soñé
    será reflejo del amor de lo que me tocó vivir
    será la música de fondo de lo mucho que sentí

    Oye mi son, mi viejo son
    tiene la clave de cualquier generación
    en el alma de mi gente, en el cuero del tambor
    en las manos del congero, en los piés del bailador
    yo viviré, ahí estaré
    mientras pase una cumparsa con mi rumba cantaré
    seré siempre lo que fuí, con mi azúcar para tí
    yo viviré, yo viviré

    Y ahora vuelvo a recordar, aquel tiempo atrás
    cuando me fui buscando el cielo de la libertad
    cuantos a migos que dejé y cuantas lagrimas lloré
    yo viviré, para volverlos a encontrar
    y seguire, con mi canción
    bailando música caliente como bailo yo
    y cuando suene una huaracha
    y cuando suene un huahuancó
    en la sangre de mi pueblo en su cuerpo estaré yo

    Oye mi son, mi viejo son
    tiene la clave de cualquier generación
    en el alma de mi gente, en el cuero del tambor
    en las manos del congero, en los piés del bailador
    yo viviré, ahí estaré
    mientras pase una cumparsa con mi rumba cantaré
    seré siempre lo que fuí, con mi azúcar para tí
    yo viviré, yo viviré

    oye mi son, mi viejo son
    tiene la clave de cualquier generación
    en el alma de mi gente, en el cuero del tambor
    en las manos del congero, en los piés del bailador
    yo viviré, ahí estaré
    mientras pase una cumparsa con mi rumba cantaré
    seré siempre lo que fuí, con mi azúcar para tí
    yo viviré, yo viviré

    Sobreviviendo
    En esta vida lo que estoy haciendo
    Sobreviviendo
    Estoy sobreviviendo, estoy sobreviviendo
    Sobreviviendo
    Para que la gente me siga oyendo

    Rompiendo barreras, voy sobreviviendo
    cruzando fronteras, voy sobreviviendo
    Doy gracias a Dios por este regalo
    El me dió la voz y yo te la he dado
    ¡Con Gusto!
    Rompiendo barreras, voy sobreviviendo
    cruzando fronteras, voy sobreviviendo
    Para ti mi gente siempre cantaré
    te daré mi azucar caramba y sobreviviré
    Rompiendo barreras, voy sobreviviendo
    cruzando fronteras, voy sobreviviendo
    Yo viviré, Yo viviré y Sobreviviré

    Strawberry Letter 23
    Composer(s): Shuggie Otis
    First release by: Shuggie Otis - 1971



    Hello, my love
    I heard a kiss from you
    Red magic satin playing near, too

    All through the morning rain
    I gaze - the sun doesn't shine -
    Rainbows and waterfalls run through my mind

    In the garden - I see west
    Purple shower, bells and tea
    Orange birds and river cousins dressed in green

    Pretty music I hear - so happy
    And loud - blue flower echo
    From a cherry cloud

    Feel sunshine sparkle pink and blue
    Playgrounds will laugh
    if you try to ask
    Is it cool?, is it cool?

    If you arrive and don't see me
    I'm going to be with my baby
    I am free - flying in her arms, over the sea

    Stained window, yellow candy screen
    See speakers of kite - with velvet roses diggin' freedom flight

    A present from you - Strawberry letter 22
    The music plays, I sit in for a few

    Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

    A present from you - Strawberry letter 22
    The music plays, I sit in for a few

    Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

    Yo Vengo A Ofrecer Mi Corazón
    Composer(s): Fito Paez
    Performer(s): Fito Paez



    Quien dijo que todo esta perdido
    yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón
    tanta sangre que se llevo el río
    yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón
    no será tan fácil, ya se que pasa
    no será tan simple como pensaba
    como abrir el pecho y sacar el alma
    una cuchillada del amor
    luna de los pobres siempre abierta
    yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón
    como un documento inalterable
    yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón
    y uniré las puntas de un mismo lazo
    y me iré tranquilo, me iré despacio
    y te daré todo, y me darás algo
    algo que me alivie un poco mas
    cuando no haya nadie, cerca o lejos
    yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón
    cuando los satélites no alcancen
    yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón
    y hablo de países y de esperanza
    hablo por la vida, hablo por la nada
    hablo de cambiar esta nuestra casa
    de cambiarla por cambiar nomás
    quien dijo que todo esta perdido
    yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón

    Strawberry Fair
    Composer(s): Sabine Baring Gould - Cecil Sharp - Nolly Clapton
    Performer(s): Anthony Newley



    Strawberries
    Ripe Strawberries
    As I was going to Strawberry Fair
    Singing, singing
    Butter-cups and Daisies
    I met a maiden selling her wares
    Fol-de-dee!
    Her eyes were blue and she was fair
    And she rode on a donkey to Strawberry Fair
    Ri-fol, Ri-fol, Tol-de-riddle-li-do
    Ri-fol, Ri-fol, Tol-de-riddle-dee
    “Would you like to pick from my basket!" she said
    Singing, singing, Butter-cups and Daisies
    "My cherries ripe, or my roses red”
    Fol-de-dee!
    You can take a handful, I don’t care
    As I go on to Strawberry Fair"
    Ri-fol, Ri-fol, Tol-de-riddle-li-do
    Ri-fol, Ri-fol, Tol-de-riddle-dee
    So I said to this bird
    Your cherries soon will go mouldy and bad
    Singing, singing Buttercups and wotsits
    Your roses wither and look all sad
    Fol-de-dee
    Now it’s not to buy such perishing ware
    That I am slogging it to Strawberry Fair
    Oh, Ri-fol, Ri-fol, come and get an earful
    Ri-fol, Ri-fol, Tol-de-riddle-dee

    I told her straight

    I want a girl with a generous heart
    Singing, singing, Butter-cups and Oojahs
    Without a tongue that is wicked or smart
    Fol-de-dee!
    And an honest mind, but these are rare
    I doubt if I’ll find them at this crummy old fair
    Ri-fol, Ri-fol, Tol-de-riddle-li-do
    Ri-fol, well, you know the rest, don’t you
    So I put it to her straight
    Now in return for these virtues, I swear
    Knees up, knees up, come and have a knees up
    I’ll give you a ring for your finger my dear
    Fol-de-dee!
    So make me your partner and give me a share
    In church today at Strawberry Fair
    Now, Ri-fol, Ri-fol, Tol-de-riddle-li-do, Ri-fol, Ri-fol
    Strawberries
    Shan’t be round tomorrow
    The donkey’s pinched all the strawberries
    Hee-hee-hee-hee

    Yo Te Quiero Maria
    Composer(s): Jimmy Frey; Penny Els
    Performer(s): Jimmy Frey



    Dit is nu mijn laatste brief
    Met die woorden Maria
    Neem ik afscheid van jou
    Yo te quiero Maria
    Je weet dat ik van je hou
    Maar de wereld blijft maar draaien
    Zij het met of zonder jou

    Jij was mijn lied
    Mijn wereld, mijn kleine gids
    Te samen iedere dag
    Doorheen zonnige straten
    Jij was een lach
    Wat vriendschap in een vreemd land
    Maar uit het oog, uit het hart
    De tijd blijft nooit staan

    Yo te quiero Maria
    Dit is nu mijn laatste brief
    Met die woorden Maria
    Neem ik afscheid van jou
    Yo te quiero Maria
    Je weet dat ik van je hou
    Maar de wereld blijft maar draaien
    Zij het met of zonder jou

    Jij zal wel gauw
    Iemand vinden die van je houdt
    Die bij je blijft en nooit of nooit
    Meer hoeft weg te gaan

    Strasbourg
    Composer(s): Julian Cope
    Performer(s): Julian Cope



    Always fighting
    Always fighting with yourself
    Be something
    Be happy
    If I were France
    And you were Germany
    What an alliance that would be

    I dig laughter
    I dug up a few old dreams
    They couldn't make me happy
    They weren't pure
    They weren't real to me
    They weren't anything for you

    So, look no further
    We're coming through
    We're not alone now
    There's room for you

    Look now
    Hear it sounding
    Hear it ringing in my ears
    Their secrets sacred as sequins
    And weighing you down, down
    And platitudes that make you leave
    The weak at the wall
    Ask the questions
    But that's all for now now

    Yo Te Quiero Libre
    Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



    Yo te quiero libre, libre y con amor
    libre de la sombra, pero no del sol
    Yo te quiero libre, como te vivi
    libre de otras penas, y libre de mi

    La libertad tiene alma clara
    y solo canta cuando va batiendo alas
    vuela y canta, libertad
    La libertad nacio sin dueno
    y yo quien soy para robarle cada sueno

    Yo te quiero libre y con buena fe
    para que conduzcas tu preciosa sed
    Yo te quiero libre, libre de verdad
    libre como el sueno de la libertad

    La libertad, nacio sin dueno
    y yo quien soy para robarle cada sueno

    Yo te quiero libre como te vivi
    libre de otras penas, y libre de mi
