The Sword Of Damocles Composer(s): Richard O'Brien Performer(s): Peter Hinwood; Adam Caine; Independents
Rocky Horror: The Sword of Damocles is hanging over my head And I've got the feeling someone's gonna be cutting the thread Oh, woe is me My life is a misery Oh, can't you see That I'm at the start of a pretty big downer I woke up this morning with a start when I fell out of bed (That ain't no crime) And left from my dreaming was a feeling of unnameable dread (That ain't no crime) My high is low I'm dressed up with no place to go And all I know Is I'm at the start of a pretty big downer
Dr. Frank-N-Furter: Oh, Rocky! (Sha la la la, that ain't no crime)

Your Horoscope For Today Composer(s): Weird Al Yankovic Performer(s): Weird Al Yankovic
Aquarius! There's travel in your future when your tounge freezes to the back of a speeding bus Fill that void in your pathetic life by playing Whack-a-mole 17 hours a day
Pisces! Try to avoid any Virgos or Leos with the Ebola Viruis You are the true lord of the dance No matter what those idiots at work say
Aries!
The look on your face will be priceless when you find that 40 pound watermelon in your colon Trade toothbrushes with an albino dwarf And give a hickey to Maryil Streep
Taurus! You will never find true happiness What you gonna do, cry about it? The stars predict that tomorrow you'll wake up do a bunch of stuff, and then go back to sleep
That's your horoscope for today, for today-ay-ay-ay That's your horoscope for today That's your horoscope for today, for today-ay-ay-ay That's your horoscope for today
Gemini! Your birthday party will be ruined once again by your explosive flatulance Your love life will run into trouble when your fiancie throws a javilin through your chest
Cancer! The position of Jupiter says that you should spend the rest of the week face down in the mud Try not to shove a roll of duct tape up your nose while taking your driving test
Leo! Now is not a good time to photocopy your butt and tape it to your bosses face, oh no Eat a bucket of tuna flavored pudding and wash it down with a gallon of strawberry Quick
Virgo! All Virgos are extremely friendly and intelligence Except for you! Expect a big suprise today when you wind up with your head impaled upon a stick
That's your horoscope for today, for today-ay-ay-ay That's your horoscope for today That's your horoscope for today, for today-ay-ay-ay That's your horoscope for today
Now you may find it inconciveable or at the very least a bit unlikely that the relitive position of the planets and the stars could have could a special deep significance or meaning that exclusively applies to only you But let me give you my assurance that these forcasts and predictions are all based on on solid scientific documented evidence so you would have to be some kind of moron not to realize that every single one of them is absoultely true Where was I?
Libra! A big promotion is just around the corner for someone much more talented than you! Laughter is the very best medicine remember that when your appendix bursts next week
Scorpio! Get ready for an unexpected trip when you fall screaming from an open window Work a little bit harder on improving you low self esteem, you stupid freak
Saggitarius! All your friends are laughing behind your back Kill Them.... Take down all the naked pictures of Ernest Borgiene you've got hanging in your den
Capricorn! The stars say you're a exciting and wonderful person but you know they're lying If I were you I'd lock my doors and windows and never, never, never never, never, leave my house again
That's your horoscope for today, for today-ay-ay-ay That's your horoscope for today That's your horoscope for today, for today-ay-ay-ay That's your horoscope for today
Swlabr Composer(s): Pete Brown - Jack Bruce Performer(s): Cream and multiple other artists
Coming to me in the morning, leaving me at night Coming to me in the morning, leaving me alone You've got that rainbow feel but the rainbow has a beard
Running to me a-crying when he throws you out Running to me a-crying, on your own again You've got that pure feel, such good responses But the picture has a moustache
You're coming to me with that soulful look on your face Coming looking like you've never ever done one wrong thing
You're coming to me with that soulful look on your face You're coming looking like you've never ever done one wrong thing
So many fantastic colours; I feel in a wonderland Many fantastic colours makes me feel so good You've got that pure feel, such good responses You've got that rainbow feel but the rainbow has a beard
Your Groovy Self Composer(s): Lee Hazelwood Performer(s): Nancy Sinatra
Don't talk to strangers on the bus You know that could be dangerous Don't walk on sticks or stones Don't answer ringin' phones You know I've got to worry 'Til you bring your groovy self on home to me
Don't take up with no alley cats They really don't know where it's at Don't fall or trip on things Stay away from happenings You know I've got to worry 'Til you bring your groovy self on home, ummm, to me
(Instrumental Break)
Oooooohhh, be careful walkin' down the street You never know what you might meet Don't change a thing or two I'm hung up child on you And you know I've got to worry Until you bring your groovy self on home to me
The Swiss Maid Composer(s): Roger Miller Performer(s): Del Shannon and multiple other artists
One time a long time ago On a mountain in Switzerland Yo lo lo lo lo There lived a fair young maiden Lovely but lonely Yo ho ho ho
Day after day shed pine her heart away Yo lo lo lo lo lo lady yay Cause no love came her way
One day her papa say Someday well go down to the village in the valley There youll meet a nice young man Hell ask for your hand Then youll be happy
But every day she grew unhappier On the mountain in Switzerland Yo lo lo lo lo Every day a little bit lonelier Which way to turn, which way to go
And day after day shed pine her heart away Yo lo lo lo lo lo lady yay But no love came her way
Some say the maidens dream never came true She never got to go to the valley If she did or not I really dont know Wo..ho..ho ho Did she die unhappy
Id rather think she found her love Wouldnt you rather think she did find love Somewhere, someway Yodel..lady..ay Yodel lady..ay
Your Good Girl's Gonna Go Bad Composer(s): Billy Sherrill; Glenn Sutton Performer(s): Tammy Wynette; and various other artists
I've never seen the inside of a Bar Room Or listened to a Juke box all night long But I see these are the things that bring you pleasure So I'm gonna make some changes in our home
Well I've heard it said if you can't beat 'em join 'em so if that's the way you wanted me to be Well if it takes that to keep you happy From now on you're gonna see a different me
Chorus
Because your good girl's gonna go bad I'm gonna be the swinginest swinger you've ever had If you like 'em painted up, powdered up, then you oughta be glad 'cos your good girl's gonna go bad
I'll even learn to like the taste of whisky In fact you'll hardly recognise your wife I'll buy some brand new clothes and dress up fancy For my journey to the wilder side of life
Chorus
Because your good girl's gonna go bad I'm gonna be the swinginest swinger you ever had If you like 'em painted up, powdered up Then you oughta be glad 'cos your good girl's gonna go bad
Swingin' On The Moon Composer(s): Robert Bruce - Mel Tormé Performer(s): Mel Tormé; Perry Danos; Nikki Yanofsky
Are you tired of summer nights and noons? Do you yawn when they speak sunny Spain? Could you live without ever seeing old Rangoon? Then come with me and let's go swingin' on the moon
Have you had enough of London fog New York snow and California smog? Would you say "arrivederci" to Rome in June? Then fly with me and let's go swingin' on the moon
Let's have a honeymoon on the moon, honey Far from the noisy earth below And if your mama asks "Why the moon" honey Just tell her your feller has gone inter-stellar
Grab your hat and we'll head off in the blue In a little rocket built for two Baby, we're gonna blast off, and before we're through We'll leave the cares that we know on terra firma below While we go singin' and swingin' on the moon
Hey, let's grab a holiday on the moon, honey Far from the hustle of the crowd And if your folks ask about our house, honey Tell mater and pater we live in the crater
We're really gonna enjoy a life of ease Livin' on moonlight cocktails and green cheese Mister and Missus Space Commuter, if you please And in a few years we might produce our own satelite While we go singin' and swingin' on the moon
Swingin' on the moon ... moonlight cocktail ... Moonlight becomes you ... blue moon ... Moon over Miami ... velvet moon ... how high the moon ... Don't let the moon get away ... the moon was yellow ...
Your Gold Teeth Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen Performer(s): Steely Dan
Got a feeling I've been here before Watching as you cross the killing floor You know you'll have to pay it all You'll pay today or pay tomorrow You fasten up your beaded gown Then you try to tie me down Do you work it out one by one Or played in combination You throw out your gold teeth Do you see how they roll I have seen your iron and your brass Can't you see it shine behind the glass Your fortune is your roving eye Your mouth and legs Your gift for the runaround Torture is the main attraction I don't need that kind of action You don't have to dance for me I've seen your dance before Do you throw out your gold teeth Do you see how they roll
Tobacco they grow in Peking In the Year of the Locust You'll see a sad thing Even Cathy Berberian knows There's one roulade she can't sing Dumb luck my friend Won't suck me in this time
Got a feeling I've been here before Won't you let me help you find the door All you got to do is use Your silver shoes A gift for the runaround Use your knack darlin' Take one step back darlin' There ain't nothing in Chicago For a monkey woman to do Do you throw out your gold teeth Do you see how they roll
Swinging On A Star ((French Version: À Toi De Choisir (by Richard Anthony)) - 1964)) Composer(s): Johnny Burke - Jimmy Van Heusen First release by: Bing Crosby & Williams Brothers - 1944 Covered by multiple other artists
Would you like to swing on a star Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are Or would you rather be a mule?
A mule is an animal with long funny ears Kicks up at anything he hears His back is brawny but his brain is weak He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak And by the way, if you hate to go to school You may grow up to be a mule
Or would you like to swing on a star Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are Or would you rather be a pig?
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face His shoes are a terrible disgrace He has no manners when he eats his food He's fat and lazy and extremely rude But if you don't care a feather or a fig You may grow up to be a pig
Or would you like to swing on a star Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are Or would you rather be a fish?
A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook He can't write his name or read a book To fool the people is his only thought And though he's slippery, he still gets caught But then if that sort of life is what you wish You may grow up to be a fish A new kind of jumped-up slippery fish
And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo Every day you meet quite a few So you see it's all up to you You can be better than you are You could be swingin' on a star
Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore Composer(s): John Prine Performer(s): John Prine
While digesting Reader's Digest In the back of a dirty book store A plastic flag, with gum on the back Fell out on the floor Well, I picked it up and I ran outside Slapped on my window shield And if I could see old Betsy Ross I tell her how good I feel
Chorus: But your flag decal won't get you Into Heaven any more They're already overcrowded From your dirty little war Now Jesus don't like killin' No matter what the reason's for And your flag decal won't get you Into Heaven any more
Well, I went to the bank this morning And the cashier he said to me "If you join the Christmas club We'll give you ten of them flags for free" Well, I didn't mess around a bit I took her up on what he said And I stuck them stickers all over my car And one on my wife's forehead
Repeat Chorus:
Well, I got my window shield so filled With flags I couldn't see So, I ran the car upside a curb And right into a tree By the time they got a doctor down I was already dead And I'll never understand why the man Standing in the Pearly Gates said...
But your flag decal won't get you Into Heaven any more We're already overcrowded From your dirty little war Now Jesus don't like killin' No matter what the reason's for And your flag decal won't get you Into Heaven any more

Swinging On A Gate Composer(s): Harry Hemsley Performer(s): Harry Hemsley
I wish I was a little boy But then you see I'm not I'm very fond of little boys I know an awful lot I like the sort of games they play I think they're really great But the game that I like playing best Is swinging on a gate
Swinging on a gate With a lot of boys Swinging on the gate Don't we make a noise Nurse is very cross 'Cause I come home late Says I is a naughty girl ("Winnie! Winnie") For swinging on a gate
Children's Voices: ("Hello - here's a gate") ("Ooh it's a bit like...........isn't it") ("I'm on first") ("No, no, I'm on first") ("Don't push") ("I'm not pushing") ("Now we're off!")
Man's Voice: ("Oi! Get off that gate, do you hear me?")
I don't care much for little girls They never make a noise I like to shout and holler out That's why I'm with the boys I hold right on climbing trees And bird-nesting I hate The game that I like playing best Is swinging on a gate
Swinging on a gate With a lot of boys Swinging on the gate Don't we make a noise Nurse is very cross 'Cause I come home late Says I is a naughty girl ("Winnie! Winnie") For swinging on a gate
Swinging on a gate With a lot of boys Swinging on the gate Don't we make a noise Nurse is very cross 'Cause I come home late Says I is a naughty girl ("Winnie! Winnie") For swinging on a gate
Your Eyes Have Told Me So Composer(s): Walter Blaufuss; Gus Kahn; Egbert Van Alstyne Performer(s): Doris Day; Buffalo Bills; Dick Haymes; Mario Lanza; Gordon MacRae; Alfred Piccaver
I saw your eyes, your wonderful eyes With love light and tenderness feeling They thrilled me through, they filled me too With wonderful dreams I am dreaming No need to speak, no more shall I seek For my heart has taught me their meaning And love has come, at last I know Your eyes have told me so
No need to speak, no more shall I seek For my heart has taught me their meaning And love has come, at last I know Your eyes have told me so
Your Cheating Heart Composer(s): Hank Williams Performer(s): Hank Williams; and various other artists
Your cheating heart will make you weep You'll cry and cry and try to sleep But sleep won't come the whole night through Your cheating heart will tell on you
When tears come down like falling rain You'll toss around and call my name You'll walk the floor the way i do Your cheating heart will tell on you
(break)
Your cheating heart will pine some day And crave the love you threw away The time will come when you'll be blue Your cheating heart will tell on you
When tears come down like falling rain You'll toss around and call my name You'll walk the floor the way I do Your cheating heart will tell on you
Your Bulldog Drinks Champagne Composer(s): David Bellamy; Jim Stafford Performer(s): Jim Stafford
There was a lady in a window In the room across the way From the hotel I was staying in While on my holiday I couldn't help but see everything 'Cause I was peeping I confess Still after dinner every night She had the strangest guest
She'd retire to her favorite chair And sit there with a dog Fill the crystal glasses While the fire danced on the log I watched them drink their bubbly brew Until the fire grew dim Then I stuck my head out the window And said why not me instead of him
Oh your bulldog drinks champagne And I ain't one to complain What a perfect waste of wine it seems to be So honey, tell ol' rover that the big dog's coming over 'Cause any woman that would get a bulldog drunk Would have to be good to me
Fourteen days and fourteen nights Not one word did I hear Her with her silk and champagne Over to me in my shorts with a beer She just left the curtains wide And I knew she knew I could see Her and the pug-nosed mutt Guzzling wine and teasing me
Oh your bulldog drinks champagne And I ain't one to complain What a perfect waste of wine it seems to be So honey, tell ol' rover that the big dog's coming over 'Cause any woman that would get a bulldog drunk Would have to be good to me
So I made a bolder move I went over and rang her bell I heard growling from inside And I got scared as hell Then the bulldog staggered out the door And he said, how do yo do But the lady bit me on the leg And I said r-rouf, I love you too
Oh your bulldog drinks champagne And I ain't one to complain What a perfect waste of wine it seems to be So honey, tell ol' rover that the big dog's coming over 'Cause any woman that would get a bulldog drunk Would have to be good to me
