    A Pirate Looks At Forty
    Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett
    Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett
    and multiple other artists



    Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
    Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
    You've seen it all, you've seen it all

    Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
    And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
    Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream

    Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
    The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
    I'm an over-forty victim of fate
    Arriving too late, arriving too late

    I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass
    I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
    Never meant to last, never meant to last

    And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
    I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
    But I got stop wishin', got to go fishin'
    Down to rock bottom again
    Just a few friends, just a few friends

    I go for younger women, lived with several awhile
    Though I ran 'em away, they'd come back one day
    Still could manage to smile
    Just takes a while, just takes a while

    Mother, mother ocean, after all the years I've found
    My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around
    I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown

    I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown

    Human
    Composer(s): McEntee; Peiken
    Performer(s): The Pretenders



    I play a good game, but not good as you
    I can be a little cold, but you can be so cruel
    I'm not made of brick, I'm not made of stone
    But I had you fooled enough
    to take me on
    If love was a war, it's you who has won
    While I was confessing it, you held your tongue

    Now the damage is done...

    Chorus:
    Well there's blood in these veins
    And I cry when in pain
    I'm only human on the inside
    And if looks can deceive
    Make it hard to believe
    I'm only human on the inside

    I thought you'd come through
    I thought you'd come clean
    You were the best thing I should never have seen
    But you go to extremes, you push me too far
    Then you keep going 'til you break my heart
    Yeah, you break my heart

    See I bleed and I bruise, oh, but what's it to you
    I'm only human on the inside
    And if looks could deceive
    Make it hard to believe
    I'm only human on the inside

    I crash and I burn, maybe some day you'll learn
    I'm only human on the inside
    I stumble and fall, baby, under it all
    I'm only human on the inside

    And the damage is done...

    Chorus:
    Well there's blood in these veins
    And I cry when in pain
    I'm only human on the inside
    And if looks can deceive
    Make it hard to believe
    I'm only human on the inside

    I crash and I burn, maybe some day you'll learn
    I stumble and fall, baby, I do it all
    I'm only human on the inside

    A Pillow Of Winds
    Composer(s): Roger Waters - David Gilmour
    Performer(s): Pink Floyd



    A cloud of eider down
    Draws around me softening the sound
    Sleepy time in my life
    With my love by my side
    And she’s breathing low
    And the candle dies.

    When night comes down you lock the door
    The book falls to the floor
    As darkness falls and waves roll by
    The seasons change
    The wind is raw.

    Now wakes the hour that sleeps the swan
    Behold a dream, the dream is gone
    Green fields
    A cold rain is falling
    Near the golden dawn.

    And deep beneath the ground
    The early morning sounds and I go down
    Sleepy time in our life
    With my love by my side
    And she’s breathing low

    And I rise like a bird
    In the haze and the first rays touch the sky
    And the night winds die

    Hula Love
    Composer(s): Buddy Knox

    and various other artists



    On the isle of Filalilla out Hawaii way
    A hula maiden gay strolled by a monlit bay
    There come a to court her over the water
    from a savage Zingazulu land
    A Bolo chieftain grand sang her this lay

    And he sang
    Hulu Hawaii hula
    Smile on your zing gang a zula
    Moon shine above
    on your sweet jungle love
    For you my bolo is swinging
    For you my love song I'm singing
    Come be my Hula Hula love

    But the chieftain from the peaceful Filalilla land
    would not give him her hand
    Her lover took his stand
    Through the rattle of the battle
    as she heard his sweet voice calm and true
    They fled in his canoe over water blue

    And he sang
    Hulu Hawaii hula
    Smile on your zing gang a zula
    Moon shine above
    on your sweet jungle love
    For you my bolo is swinging
    For you my love song I'm singing
    Come be my Hula Hula love

    Composer(s): Bruno Coquatrix - Étienne Lorin - Serge Veber - Jean-Jacques Vital
    Performer(s): André Bourvil



    Depuis le plus tendre des âges
    Par monts et par vaux, je voyage
    De tout les moyens de transport
    L'avion fait sans dout' le plus sport
    Mais, malgré mon petit air bravache
    Je préfère le plancher des vaches
    Ça fait bien sûr moins gentleman
    Moins up to dat', moins bus'nessman
    Et si quelqu'un vient me suggérer
    Une autre façon de voyager
    Qu'à pied, à ch'val, à ch'val et en voiture
    Je lui dit: "N'vous donnez pas la peine
    Venez avec moi, je vous emmène
    À pied, à ch'val, à ch'val et en voiture
    Comme jo toquero Senorita
    Jo to lo disos comm' je l'pensas
    Si jo to lo quero, prends garde à toi

    À pied, à ch'val, à ch'val et en voiture
    Et je dis zut à ceux qui, ma foi
    N'pensent pas comm' moi et je les envoie
    À pied, à ch'val, à ch'val et en voiture
    Cette phrase plutôt commune
    Convient pourtant bien
    À ma brune
    Je lui fais des déclarations
    En me servant d'cette expression
    Et le soir, dans l'ombre propice
    J'lui fais entrevoir des délices
    Je l'attire comme un aimant
    En lui disant tout simplement
    "Ma chérie, dans ces vertes allées
    Bras d'sus, bras dessous, allons nous prom'ner
    À pied, à ch'val, à ch'val et en voiture
    Et je te jurerai mon amour de t'aimer jusqu'au lever du jour
    À pied, à ch'val, à ch'val et en voiture
    Yetes dans la peau Segnorita
    Tu t'rends compt' como que jo alba
    J'aim' ta bouch' tes yeux et caetera

    À pied, à ch'val, à ch'val et en voiture
    Tu verras qu'ils nous ressembleront
    Tous les petits enfants que nous ferons
    À pied, à ch'val, à ch'val et en voiture
    Mais, je n'ai guèr' l'âme volage
    Je s'rai un époux doux et sage
    Nanti d'une petite famille
    Une vingtain' de garçons et filles
    Tu verras la vie sera douce
    Sans heurt, sans cahot, sans secousse
    Pendant que les petits pouss'ront
    Bien gentiment, nous vieillirons
    Puis un jour nous gagnerons le ciel
    Avec dans l'dos deux petites ailes
    À pied, à ch'val, à ch'val et en voiture
    Mais là haut, il faudra s'expliquer
    Dire ce que nous avons fabriqué
    À pied, à ch'val, à ch'val et en voiture
    Jo to chanterai, Carmencita
    Tout's les chansonna que tu voudras
    Car mon corazon, pour toi seule, bat
    A pied, à ch'val, à ch'val et en voiture
    Et le paradis nous ouvrira
    Les grandes portes que l'on franchira
    À pied, à ch'val, à ch'val et en voiture

    and various other artists



    You can talk all you want about women
    Said a sailor known as Dan McCan
    And if you really want to know about women
    You've got to talk to a sailor man

    Now I don't know how many woman the sailor met
    And I hope there isn't that any he'll regret
    For if he'd only met me I'd a given him some trimmin'
    I'm one gal he'd never forget

    Well who are you?

    Who am I?
    I'm Hula Lou
    I'm the gal that can't be true
    I do my nestin' in the evenin' breeze
    'Neath the trees
    You oughta see me shake my BVDs
    I never knew
    A man who wouldn't hula dance or woo
    And sail across the briny blue to who
    The lady known as Hula Lou
    That's me

    Now you ask any sailor and he'll tell you
    That this lady is the greatest dancer he ever knew
    There isn't a ship in the Navy
    That I haven't got a friend in the crew
    There's not a cruiser on the waves
    Without someone who is my devoted slave
    And I don't care how nasty I may be
    I'm the one gal the sailors all crave

    Ha Ha Ha Ha!

    You don't believe me?

    No!

    Well you travel in and out
    You travel in the south
    You travel back and forth
    You travel in the north
    You see them shakin' east
    You see them shakin' west
    But boys I do my shakin' where the shakin's best
    I gotta hula smile
    Lots of hula hair
    A little hula here
    A little hula there
    I've got the cutest eyes
    Never mind what shade they are
    But (lookin' at them the boys*) will never get very far
    'Cause I'm Hula Lou
    I'm the gal that can't be true
    I do my nestin' in the evenin' breeze
    'Neath the trees
    I got more sweeties than a dog has fleas
    I never knew
    A man who wouldn't hula dance or woo
    And sail across the briny blue to who
    The lady known as Hula Lou
    From Honolou

    Performer(s): The Babys; John Waite



    I've got no money
    Could you spare a dime?
    I got the plan
    If you got the time
    If you take me there
    You can claim your share
    Of the action
    Been on the road
    for a long time now
    Paid all my dues
    Oh, I'm ready now
    If you take me there
    You can claim your share
    Of the action
    Oh, for a piece of the action
    Oh, for a slice of the cake
    Oh, for a piece of the action
    Oh, for a slice of the cake
    Sometimes I feel
    As I'm going down
    That nothing can stop me
    From losing ground
    If you take me there
    You can claim your share
    Of the action
    Oh, for a piece of the action
    Oh, for a slice of the cake
    Oh, for a piece of the action
    Oh, for a slice of the cake
    For a slice of the cake
    Oh, oh, oh......................

    Hula Lou
    Composer(s): Edward Grossmith; Ted D. Ward



    I'm leaving town today I'm going far away
    To that land of "Heart's Desire" Fair Hawaii
    Do you wonder why I'm gay
    Where somebody waits for me
    And where it's sunny as can be
    I know I'll never leave again never grieve again there beside the sea

    Just picture all those scenes those pretty tropic greens
    where most every one adores you nothing bores you
    Life is just a happy dream from the rising of the sun
    Until the joyous day is done
    That's what the poets rave about
    Poets crave about
    Golden days each one

    Hula Lou yes I'm coming right back to you
    My Hula Lou with a heart that is fond and true
    Oh how I'm sighin' love for your undyin' love
    That sweet Hawaiian love has won my heart away
    Soon I'll be where that ukelele melody keeps ringing plaintively
    On the shores of the Lanai
    And when the stars are bright out in the pale moonlight
    we'll do the Hula, Hula, Hula Lou

    A Piece Of Sky
    Composer(s): Marilyn Bergman - Alan Bergman - Michel Legrand
    Performer(s): Barbra Streisand
    and multiple other artists



    Tell me where
    Where is it written
    What it is I'm meant to be?
    That I can't dare...

    It all began the day I found
    That from my window
    I could only see
    A piece of sky
    I stepped outside and looked around
    I never dreamed it was so wide
    Or even half as high

    The time had come
    (papa, can you hear me?)
    To try my wings
    (papa, are you near me?)
    And even thought it seemed at any moment I could fall
    I felt the most
    (papa, can you see me?)
    Amazing things
    (can you understand me?)
    The things you can't imagine
    If you've never flown at all

    Though it's safer to stay on the ground
    Sometimes where danger lies
    There the sweetest of pleasures are found
    No matter where I go
    There'll be mem'ries that tug at my sleeve
    But there will also be
    More to question yet more to believe

    (oh tell me where
    Where is the someone who will turn to look at me
    And want to sahre
    My ev'ry sweet-imagined possibility?)

    The more I live - the more I learn
    The more I learn - the more I realize
    The less I know
    Each step I take
    (papa, I've a voice now!)
    Each page I turn
    (papa, I've a choice now!)
    Each mile I travel only means
    The more I have to go
    What's wrong with wanting more?
    If you can fly - then soar!
    With all there is - why settle for
    Just a piece of sky?

    Papa, I can hear you...
    Papa, I can see you...
    Papa, I can feel you...
    Papa, watch me fly!

    Performer(s): Plastic Bertrand



    J'ai rencontré une fille
    'Tait sexy la gamine
    Elle est pas mal jolie
    Me colle à la rétine
    Un ptit regard de miel
    Qu'elle me lance dans les prunelles
    Qu'est-ce qu'elle est belle!

    La souris m'a souri
    Ah, mes amis, quel choc!
    C'était sur la plage
    Elle dansait le hula hoop
    J'ai voulu l'embrasser
    Je me suis cassé le nez
    "Touche pas bébé!"

    Refrain:
    Yé yé, viens danser le hula hoop
    Yé yé, on va danser le hula hoop
    Yé yé, viens danser le hula hoop
    Hula hula hula hula hula hula hula hula hoop!

    Je m'la suis embarquée
    Boire un milk-shake vanille
    Mais qu'est-ce qui s'est passé?
    Elle est repartie
    Avec un malabar
    Pas très mignon à voir
    Quel désespoir!

    C'était plutôt comique
    Quand on s'est retrouvés
    L'aut' jour à la piscine
    Juste avant de plonger
    Elle m'a pris par la main
    Pas besoin d'un dessin
    Elle m'a dit "Viens!"

    Refrain x2

    Un jour j'étais peinard
    Branché sur l'transistor
    J'entendis des pétards
    Sous mon aéroport
    Et j'la vois qui se pointe
    Hula hoop à la main
    J'lui ai dit "Viens!"

    Performer(s): Joe Brown



    In the night there are sights to be seen
    Stars like jewels on the crown of a queen
    But the only sight I wanna view
    Is that wonderful picture of you
    On the streetcar or in the cafe
    All of the evening and most of the day
    My mind is in a maze, what can I do?
    I'll still see that picture of you

    It was last summer, I fell in love
    My heart told me what to do
    I saw you there on the crest of a hill
    And I took a little picture of you
    Then you were gone like a dream in the night
    With you went my heart, my love and my light
    I didn't know your name, what could I do?
    I only had a picture of you

    And you were gone like a dream in the night
    With you went my heart, my love and my light
    I didn't know you're name, what could I do
    I only had a picture of you, oh yes
    That wonderful picture of you
    I'm in love with a picture of you, oh yes
    A wonderful picture of you

    Vodden, wie heeft er nog vodden
    Ik geef de hoogste waarde voor uw vodden
    Geloof me, 't is nou het seizoen om al uw vodden weg te doen
    Wat hebt u aan die todden?
    Geef mij uw oude vodden

    Zorgen, wie heeft er nog zorgen
    Ik geef de hoogste waarde voor uw zorgen
    Ik geef een bronzen carillon, een zilv'ren maan, een gouden zon
    Een stille zomermorgen, die geef ik voor uw zorgen

    Tranen, wie heeft er nog tranen
    Ik geef de hoogste waarde voor uw tranen
    Ik ruil ze voor een klein gedicht, een glimlach of een lief gezicht
    De bomen en de lanen, die geef ik voor uw tranen

    Pijn, wie heeft er nog pijn
    Ik geef de hoogste waarde voor uw pijn
    'k Geef al het gras van Nederland, een plekje aan de waterkant
    Waar bloemen en waar vogels zijn, die geef ik voor uw pijn

    Verdriet, wie heeft er verdriet
    Ik geef de hoogste waarde voor verdriet
    Een hoog're waarde krijgt u niet
    Voor oud verdriet, voor groot verdriet geef ik een lied
    En voor een klein verdrietje
    Een huis-, tuin- en keukenverdrietje
    Geef ik

    refr.:
    Een huis-, tuin- en keukenliedje
    Met een huis-, tuin- en keukenrefrein
    Zo'n heel doodgewoon melodietje
    Zo'n liedje hoeft niet zo hoogdravend te zijn
    Een liedje voor alle mensen
    De dokter, de slager, papa en mama
    Een lied dat de diender op wacht kweelt
    Dat het orgel heel zacht op de gracht speelt

    Tra la la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la
    La la la
    La la la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la
    La la la

    A Picture Of Me Without You
    Composer(s): Cole Porter
    Performer(s): June Knight & Charles Walters
    and multiple other artists



    From being merely a necessary luxury
    And someone sympathetic to have about
    Why, now you're nearly a luxurious necessity
    I couldn't imagine ever living without
    I suppose I'd somehow struggle through
    But I'd hate to picture myself without you

    Picture Henry Ford without a car
    Picture heaven's firmament without a star
    Picture Fritzy Kreisler without a fiddle
    Picture poor Philadelphia without a Biddle
    Picture good cigars without Havana
    Picture Huey Long without Louisiana
    Mix 'em all together, and what have you got?
    Just a picture of me without you

    Picture H. G. Wells without a brain
    Picture Av'rell Harriman without a train
    Picture Tintern Abbey without a cloister
    Picture Billy the Oysterman without an oyster
    Picture Central Park without a sailor
    Picture Mister Lord minus Mister Taylor
    Mix 'em all together, and what have you got?
    Just a picture of me without you

    Picture Ogden Nash without a rhyme
    Picture Mister Bulova without the time
    Picture Staten Island without a ferry
    Picture little George Washington without a cherry
    Picture brother Cain without his Abel
    Picture Clifton Webb minus Mother Mabel
    Mix 'em all together, and what have you got?
    Just a picture of me without you

    Picture Paul Revere without a horse
    Picture love in Hollywood without divorce
    Picture Barbara Hutton without a nickel
    Picture poor Mister Heinz, my dear, without a pickle
    Picture City Hall without boondogglin'
    Picture Sunday tea minus Father Coughlin
    Mix 'em all together and what have you got?
    Just a picture of me without you

    Picture Lily Pons without a throat
    Picture Harold Vanderbilt without a boat
    Picture Billy Sunday without a sinner
    Picture dear Missus Corrigan without a dinner
    Picture Hamlet's ghost without a darkness
    Picture Mother Yale minus Father Harkness
    Mix 'em all together and what have you got?
    Just a picture of me without you!

    Huguette Waltz (aka The Vagabond King Waltz)
    Composer(s): Rudolf Friml; Brian Hooker
    Performer(s): Billy May;
    and various other artists



    Hearts may flower for an hour
    Tho' they die in a day
    Lips may kiss
    Blind with bliss
    Ere they learn to betray
    Light Love, smiling, untrue
    Bright Love, what would you do
    If I give my Love to you before I wander away?

    Never try to bind me
    Never hope to know
    Take me as you find me
    Love and let me go
    Tho' the loves we leave behind us
    Change and fade away
    Never mind, you may be mine to day

    Never try to bind me
    Never hope to know
    Take me as you find me
    Love and let me go
    Tho' the loves we leave behind us
    Change and fade away
    Never mind, you may be mine to day

    A Picture Of Me (Without You)
    Composer(s): Norris Wilson - George Richey
    Performer(s): George Jones
    and multiple other artists



    Imagine a world where no music was playing
    And think of a church with nobody praying
    Have you ever looked up at a sky with no blue?
    Then you've seen a picture of me without you

    Have you walked in a garden where nothing was growing
    Or stood by a river where nothing was flowing
    If you've seen a red rose unkissed by the dew
    Then you've seen a picture of me without you

    Can you picture Heaven with no angels singing
    Or a quiet Sunday morning with no church bells ringing
    If you've watched as the heart of a child breaks in two
    Then you've seen a picture of me without you

    Can you picture Heaven with no angels singing
    Or a quiet Sunday morning with no church bells ringing
    If you've watched as the heart of a child breaks in two
    Then you've seen a picture of me without you
    Then you've seen a picture of me without you

    Hugo (The Human Cannonball)
    Composer(s): C.W. Kalb Jr.; Carlene Kalb; Ray Stevens
    Performer(s): Ray Stevens



    Well, they came to town
    With their elephants and clowns
    On a hit sticky August day
    And every telephone pole
    Had a poster that told
    Of the thrills that were coming our way

    There were trapeze fliers
    And men that ate fire
    And things we never dreamed existed
    And the radio and TV
    Told us we'd be
    Fools if we dared to miss it

    Now all three rings
    Held wondrous things
    Marvels of every invention
    But the big long shrouded
    Shape in the corner
    Increasingly drew our attention

    There were bareback riders
    Lions and tigers
    And clowns in their itty bitty car
    But every woman and man
    And child in the stand
    Had come to see the star

    Then a hush fell on the crowd
    As the men pulled the shroud
    From the muzzle that was 30 feet long
    And to screams and cheers
    He finally appeared
    And flamboyantly bowed to the throng

    He wore red sequined tights
    That sparkled in the lights
    And boots that came to his knees
    And a chromium football helmet
    And a cape
    That flapped in the breeze

    And the dazzled crowd
    Shouted out loud
    You could hear them one and all
    We want Hugo!
    Hugo! Hugo!
    The Human Cannonball

    The aim was carefully calculated
    The trajectory was precise
    The charge was carefully measured
    And poured into the loading device
    The fuse was trimmed, the lights were dimmed
    Hugo slid down the barrel and then
    All was ready and Hugo's daddy
    Counted down from

    Ten!
    And the drums rolled

    Nine
    And our blood ran cold

    Eight!
    The ambulance stood by

    Seven!
    Several woman cried

    Six!
    The spotlight hit the net

    Five!
    No one would ever forget

    Four!
    Eternity passed

    Three!
    Every heart beat fast

    Two!
    And Hugo's daddy said, "Are you ready Hugo?"

    One!
    And from the bowels of the gun, "I'm a-ready, Papa!"

    Boom!

    Well, fire and smoke belched
    Out of the cannon
    And the earth trembled for a while
    And the big gun roared
    And Hugo soared
    Through the air like a projectile

    Two hundred and fifty
    Feet he flew
    Like an Air Force fighter jet
    But at the apex
    Of his trajectory
    He knew he's gonna miss the net

    Oh! Arms flailing
    He kept on sailing
    A terrified screaming creature
    And the crowd scattered
    As Hugo splattered
    All over the upper bleacher

    In the aftermath
    Of this tragic event
    Disbelief filled every face
    There was Hugo
    And there was Hugo
    There was Hugo all over the place!

    Well, the dust has
    Finally settled and
    The smoke has finally cleared
    Hugo's name
    And Hugo's fame
    Will always be revered

    But no one
    Ever took his place
    No matter who they were
    Because they never found
    Another man
    Of Hugo's caliber

    The Circus' main attraction
    The greatest star of all
    Was Hugo!
    Hugo!
    The Human Cannonball!

    Pictures From Life's Other Side ((aka A Picture From Life's Other Side (by Bill Anderson) - 1969))
    Composer(s): Hank Williams
    First recording/First release by: Hank Williams - 1951



    In the world's mighty gallery of pictures
    Hang the scenes that are painted from life
    There's pictures of love and of passion
    Then there's pictures of peace and of strife
    There hang pictures of youth and of beauty
    Of old age and the blushing young bride
    They all hang on the wall - but the saddest of all
    Are the pictures from life's other side

    Just a picture from life's other side
    Someone has fell by the way
    A life has gone out with the tide
    That might have been happy someday
    There's a poor old mother at home
    She's watching and waiting alone
    Just longing to hear - from a loved one so dear
    It's just a picture from life's other side

    The first scene is that of a gambler
    Who had lost all his money at play
    An' he draws his dead mother's ring from his finger
    That she wore long ago on her wedding day
    It's his last earthly treasure, but he stakes it
    Then he bows his head that his shame he may hide
    But, when they lifted his head - they found he was dead
    That's just a picture from life's other side

    Now the last scene is that by the river
    Of a heart-broken mother and babe
    As the harbor lights shine and they shiver
    On an outcast whom no one will save
    And yet, she was once a true woman
    She was somebody's darlin' and pride
    God help her, she leaps - for there's no one to weep
    It's just a picture from life's other side

    Huggin' And Chalkin'
    Composer(s): Clarence Leonard Hayes; Kermit Goell
    Performer(s): Hoagy Carmichael;
    and various other artists



    I got a gal that's mighty sweet
    With big blue eyes and tiny feet
    Her name is Rosabelle Malone
    And she tips the scale at twenty stone

    Oh, gee, but ain't it grand to have a girl so big and fat
    That when you go to hug her, you don't know where you're at
    You have to take a piece of chalk in your hand
    And hug a ways and chalk a mark to see where you began

    One day I was a-huggin' and a-chalkin' and a-chalkin' and a-huggin' away
    When I met another fella with some chalk in his hand
    Comin' around the other way over the mountain
    Comin' around the other way

    Her:
    Oh Gee, it aint so grand to be a girl so big and fat
    That when you go to hug me you don’t know where you’re at

    Him:
    I have to take a piece of chalk in my hand
    And hug away and chalk a mark to see where I began

    Him:
    Now where is that chalk?
    Ah, here it is
    I’ll put one cross here, and another one here

    Her:
    Darling

    Him:
    Ah, but seriously you know that I’m crazy about you
    and I mean all of you, every little bit

    Both:
    We both feel we’re meant for each other

    Him:
    Yet when we walk through the street people think
    that I’m out with my mother

    One day I was a-huggin' and a-chalkin' and a-beggin' her to be my bride
    When I met another fella with some chalk in his hand
    Comin' around the other side
    It was Lou Praeger
    Comin' around the other side

    A Petal From A Faded Rose
    Composer(s): Leon Rusk - Merle Travis
    Performer(s): Little Jimmy Dickens
    and multiple other artists



    Here's a rose from the garden where the bloom of romance grows
    But I'll keep one part near my aching heart just a petal from a faded rose
    Love is sweet in the morning when the breeze of summer blows
    But will fade and die when the winter's nigh a petal from a faded rose

    Now our love is a mem'ry where it's gone nobody knows
    But I'll hold so dear as a souvenir just a petal from a faded rose
    I will live with the roses where the stream of mem'ry flows
    And each time I dream a tear will gleam on the petal from a faded rose

    Hug And Squeeze Me
    Composer(s): Lynsey de Paul
    Performer(s): Lynsey de Paul



    If you are looking for loving
    You might have to wait a little while
    For it is hidden inside by the tears that I cried
    When his love died

    But you could hug and squeeze me, nice and easy
    Not too fast you gotta make it last
    You could hug and squeeze me, nice and easy

    If you are looking for loving
    You might see me fake a lttle smile
    For it has all been denied with the rest of my pride
    When his love died

    But you could hug and squeeze me, nice and easy
    Really slow and let the feeling grow
    You could hug and squeeze me, nice and easy

    Please hug and squeeze me

    But you could hug and squeeze me, nice and easy
    Not too tight and make it last all night
    You could hug and squeeze me, nice and easy

    Hug and squeeze me, nice and easy
