A Gal In Calico
Composer(s): Leo Robin - Arthur Schwartz
First performance by: Dennis Morgan, Jack Carson, Sally Sweetland - 1946
Covered by multiple other artists



I met a gal in Calico down in Santa Fe
Used to be her Sunday beau
'Til I rode away
Do I want her
Do I want her love
Yes-sir-ree
Will I win her
Will I win her love
Wait and see

Workin' with the rodeo
Go from town to town
See most every kind of gal
Every kind they got
But who makes my heart sing
Yip-ee-aye, Yip-ee-o
My little gal in Calico

(You can have your gal 
Dressed in silk and satin
Tose who dress to shape
And crepe to shiek
Take your pretty gal
To go around Manhattan
Thinking they look well in velveteen
When they're at the table
We're not able
To imagine how they look)

I'm just a country boy
And my country boy
Knows a fancy cover
Doesn't make a fancy book

(No, the fancy cover
Doesn't make the book)

I'll take my gal in Calico
(Calico)
Down in Santa Fe
(Santa Fe, Santa Fe)
I guess I better let her know
That I feel this way

Is she waitin'
Is she waitin'
She better be
Am I hopin'
To be ropin' her
Yes-sir-ree

Gonna quit the rodeo
(Rodeo)
Gonna settle down
Buy a bow in Calico
For a wedding gown
Then will I fetch her in
Yip-ee-aye,
Yip-ee-o
My little gal in Calico
(Yip-ee-aye, Yip-ee-o)
(Little gal, Calico)

Yip-ee-ti-a
Ti-o, ti-a
Ti-o

You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Bob Dylan;
and various other artists



I've seen love go by my door
It's never been this close before
Never been so easy or so slow
Been shooting in the dark too long
When somethin's not right it's wrong
Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go

Dragon clouds so high above
I've only known careless love
It's always hit me from below.
This time around it's more correct
Right on target, so direct
Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go

Purple clover, Queen Anne lace
Crimson hair across your face
You could make me cry if you don't know
Can't remember what I was thinkin' of
You might be spoilin' me too much, love
Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go

Flowers on the hillside, bloomin' crazy
Crickets talkin' back and forth in rhyme
Blue river runnin' slow and lazy
I could stay with you forever
And never realize the time

Situations have ended sad
Relationships have all been bad
Mine've been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud
But there's no way I can compare
All those scenes to this affair
Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go

Yer gonna make me wonder what I'm doin'
Stayin' far behind without you
Yer gonna make me wonder what I'm sayin'
Yer gonna make me give myself a good talkin' to

I'll look for you in old Honolulu
San Francisco, Ashtabula
Yer gonna have to leave me now, I know
But I'll see you in the sky above
In the tall grass, in the ones I love
Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go

Performer(s): Sparks



We're a fun bunch of guys
And we come from outer space
On the planet where we're from
War is even fun
We're a fun bunch of guys
We're a fun bunch of guys
Here to infiltrate and get a tan
We arrived here from the sky
On that cream pie parked outside
We're a fun bunch of guys
We're a fun bunch of guys
We speak English real good
On our TV's in the sky
Your reruns come in fine
We're a fun bunch of guys

You're Gonna Love Yourself (In The Morning)
Composer(s): Donnie Fritts
Performer(s): Kris Kristofferson;
and various other artists



Heaven knows that someone has abused you
I guess that's why you think I'm gonna use you
You say you'll hate yourself in the morning
Cause you'll wake up and find me gone

But if you give me just one more chance
I can prove you wrong

Chorus

You're gonna love yourself in the morning
Cause I'm gonna love you all night long
You're gonna love yourself in the mor...ning
And every morning from now on

I know what you're thinking I don't blame you
It's gonna take a whole lot of love just to change you
When you wake up in the morning, you're gonna feel like a different girl
And you will see ... that it can be such a beautiful world ....

(to Chorus)

Performer(s): Eddy Arnold

I want a full-time job making love to you 
I'll do anything you want me to 
But if you have no plan to use a full-time man 
A part-time job will do 
 
I want a life time job being close to you
Making all your dreams come true 
But if your heart don't throb about a full-time job 
A part-time job will do 
 
You wouldn't have to pay me 
A nickel or a dime 
As long as you would let me 
Get in a little bit of overtime 
 
I want a full-time job holding hands with you 
I think you'd kinda like it too 
Don't want a part-time job I want a full-time job 
But a part-time job will do

You wouldn't have to pay me 
A nickel or a dime 
As long as you would let me 
Get in a little bit of overtime

Don't want a part-time job I want a full-time job 
But a part-time job will do

Every kiss, every hug seems to act just like a drug
You're getting to be a habit with me

But now I couldn't do without my supply
I need you for my own

Oh, I can't break away
I must have you everyday
as regularly as coffee or tea
You've got me in your clutches and I can't break free

You're getting to be a habit with me

You're Driving Me Out Of My Mind
Composer(s): Beeb Birtles; Graham Goble
Performer(s): Little River Band



Feeling bluesy, you know you do confuse me all night
I sit at home, alone and wonder if you're all right
I count the hours and lie awake until you return
And search my mind with overtime
I've so much to learn

Well I gave you everything from the depths of my heart
From the day you took my ring we drifted apart
I have one thing more to say
"You're driving me out of my mind"

So alone, the home we had has turned out its lights
I walk the floor and wonder who is sharing your nights
And all around, your sound, your thoughts are ever so near
It's hard to take, this wait
I'm always wanting you here

Well I gave you everything from the depths of my heart
From the day you took my ring we drifted apart
I have one thing more to say
"You're driving me out of my mind"
Though it may be hard to see
If you change your mind, will you know just where I'll be
If you ever need me

Feeling bluesy, you know you do confuse me all night
I sit at home, alone and wonder if you're all right
And all around, your sound
Your thoughts are ever so near
It's hard to take, this wait
I'm always waiting to here

Well I gave you everything from the depths of my heart
From the day you took my ring we drifted apart
I have one thing more to say
"You're driving me out of my mind"

I'm out of my mind
You're driving me out of my mind
You're driving me out of my mind

Just say that I'm a friend of yours 
And maybe they won't get wise
And if they see us together
I'll brush the dream from my eyes

I'll tell my heart it mustn't seem
The song of remember when
Just say that I'm a friend of yours
That you happen to meet again

I'll tell my heart that it mustn't seem 
The song of remember when
Just say that I'm a friend of yours 
That you happen to meet again

You're Driving Me Crazy
Composer(s): Walter Donaldson
Performer(s): Guy Lombardo;
and various other artists



You left me sad and lonely
Why did you leave me lonely? 
For here's a heart that's only 
For nobody but you!
  
I'm burning like a flame, dear
Oh, I'll never be the same, dear
I'll always place the blame, dear
On nobody but you
 
Yes, you
You're driving me crazy! 
What did I do? What did I do? 
My tears for you 
Make everything hazy
Clouding the skies of blue
 
How true
Were the friends who were near me to cheer me
Believe me, they knew! 
But you
Were the kind who would hurt me, desert me
When I needed you!
 
Yes, you! 
You're driving me crazy! 
What did I do to you?

As recorded by Don Redman:


Spoken: 
(Hey, you guys there, let's get together there
Why, you'se enough to drive a man crazy! 
What's the matter, can't we get this thing? 
What do you say we go there, huh? 
Pick out a song!)

You! You're driving me crazy! 
What did I do? 
Oh, what did I do? 
My tears for you make everything hazy, 
Clouding the skies of blue! 

How true! 
Were the friends who were near me to cheer me
Believe me, they knew
But you! 
Were the kind who would hurt me, desert me when I needed you! 

Yes, you! 
You're driving me crazy! 
What did I do to you?

A Friend Of Mine
Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan



Good morning Mary Ann
And how are you upon this bright
And sunny morning
I hear your brother Ted
Got caught for speeding
But was let off with a warning
I hope he's learnt his lesson
And the next time he goes out will drive with care
It doesn't pay to drive too fast
All it does is make your life last shorter

I know you won't believe this
But it happens to be true
I am a loner
My only real companion is dog I'm very fond of
His name's Homer
He follows me wherever I go
And of course I do my best to feed him
It's not the easiest of tasks
When you consider unlike cats
They're broader

Do what you want to within reason
But remember take your time
Nothing stops for those
Who can't afford to wait
The best advice that I can give you
Is to hold on to your head
And as long as you are good and kind
You'll always be a friend of mine
And it's true to say that a good friend is hard to find
But I'd like to think that you are
A friend of mine
 
Good morning Sarah Jane
And how are you today
Tell me is that your mother
She looks a lot like you
Though come to think of it
You look like one another
It's funny how with likenesses
Most people have a difference of opinion
They said that I was like my dad
Now they say that I'm just like his daughter
 
Do what you want to within reason
But remember take your time
Nothing stops for those
Who can't afford to wait
The best advice that I can give you
Is to hold on to your head
And as long as you are good and kind
You'll always be a friend of mine
 
You'll always be a friend of mine 
As long as you are good and kind 
You'll always be a friend of mine 
A friend in need is a friend indeed 
You'll always be a friend of mine 

You're Breaking My Heart
Composer(s): Pat Genaro; Sunny Skylar
Performer(s): Vic Damone;
and various other artists



You're breaking my heart 'cause you're leaving
You've fallen for somebody new
It isn't too easy believing
You'd leave after all we've been through
It's breaking my heart to remember
The dreams we depended upon
You're leaving a slow dying ember
I'll miss you, my love, when you're gone
I wish you joy, though teardrops burn
But if some day you should want to return
Please hurry back and we'll make a new start, dear
Till then you're breaking my heart

(Instrumental Interlude)

I wish you joy, though teardrops burn
But if some day you should want to return
Please hurry back and we'll make a new start, dear
Till then you're breaking my heart

A Friend I Call Desire
Composer(s): Warren Cann / Chris Cross / Billy Currie / Midge Ure)
Performer(s): Ultravox



You live for love, I long for it
You give for love, I take from it
This friend of mine, desire
This lovers crime, desire
Emotion driving all the time
A burning need for things not mine
Desire

You need your love
I walk from it
You fight for love
I run from it
My enemy desire
Caressing me, desire
The torch I carried burnt my hand
I can't control what I can't stand
Desire

You give for love, I lie for it
You give for love, I shy from it
And the pain, and the lust, and the want
And the hurt, and the lies
And the fears, and the urge, and the feel
And the touch, and it's all
A friend I call desire

You give for love, I lie for it
You give for love, I shy from it
And the pain, and the lies
And the touch, and it's all
A friend I call desire

You're Breaking My Heart
Composer(s): H.H. Melka
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Claude King



The clothes that I wear are shabby and old
While you run around just spending my gold
Each night I’m alone, we’re drifting apart
You’re treating me wrong
You’re Breaking My Heart

You’ve shattered my hopes, my dreams are all gone
My life is so bare, how can I go on
You never will change it’s to late to start
You’re treating me wrong 
You’re Breaking My Heart

Ah Billy Bird now
Instrumentals

Now once I was free, the one of your dreams
But now that I am yours you don’t want me it seems
The things you have done, helped dive us apart
You’re treating me wrong
You’re Breaking My Heart

I could have been gay, life could have been grand
If you only you cared, if you’d understand
You never will change it’s to late to start
You’re treating me wrong
You’re Breaking My Heart

Frenchman For The Night
Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett - Roger Guth
Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett; Nadirah Shakoor



From his driftwood castle
Comes a song I've heard before
A scratchy gramophone cuts to the bone
"La Vie En Rose" arpeggios
So the dream begins
And the song is amplified
Buy the Beaujolais, on Bastille day
He dances in the tide

By the light of the moon
He's a Frenchman for the night
By the light of the moon
It'll be all right

Well it takes him back
To the days of love and war
And the girl he knew with eyes of blue
Waiting on the shore
If he'd only known
How the years would fly on by
Such a simple crime, he's run out of time
So he reaches for the sky

Blame it on the Champs Élysees
Blame it on a tune
Blame it on the stroke of Monet
But you can't escape the moon

He sees the stars above
As the floor to heavens light
While the angels taunt "C'est une nuit blanche"
He's a Frenchman for the night

From a driftwood castle
Comes a song I've heard before
A scratchy gramophone cuts to the bone
"La Vie En Rose" arpeggios

You're Breakin' My Heart
Composer(s): Harry Nilsson
Performer(s): Harry Nilsson



You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart so fuck you

All I want to do is have a good time now I'm blue
You won't boogaloo,
Run down to Tramps, have a dance or two, ooohhh
You're breakin' my heart,
You're tearing it apart but fuck you

You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart, boo-hoo

You stepped on my ass
You're breakin' my glasses too
You won't drive my car, might be a star
I've had enough of you
I'm goin' insane
There's no one to blame so fuck you

Instrumental break #1

You can't have your way
There's nothing left to say
There's nothing left to do, ooooohhh
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart so fuck you

Instrumental break #2

You gotta have your way
There's nothing left to say
There's nothing left to do, ooooowww
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart but I love you

A Free Thinker
Composer(s): Laura Nyro
Performer(s): Laura Nyro



You don't have your own
You're livin' thru others
Toss and turn at night
but you play it demure
and what's more
you don't think you've got the right
to be a free thinker
You could give yourself the right
You could shine your special light

Are you a consumer
A mere number
on a supermarket line?
wear a perfect mask
and never show your feelings
maybe you can make the time
To be a free thinker
You could find your own style
You may feel more alive

Do you ever wonder
Can we save our planet
and where will it go in time?
White hawks destroy
And healers send joy
back to the starry nite line
for a free thinker
with some individuality
you may find you feel more free

You're An Old Smoothie

Richard Whiting; Nacio Herb Brown
Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald;
and various other artists



You're an old smoothie
I'm an old softie
I'm just like putty
In the hands of a girl like you

You're an old meanie
I'm a big boobie
I just go nutty
In the hands of a girl like you

Poor me, you played me for a sap
Poor you, you thought you'd laid a trap
Well dear, I think it's time you knew
You've done just what I wanted you to

Silly old smoothie
Crafty old softie
I'll stick like putty
To the hand of a girl like you
