    Your Love
    Composer(s): H.B. Barnum; W. Johnson
    Performer(s): Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis



    Each day when I rise and I look at you
    I can't believe I'm living a dream come true
    And as long as you feel the way you do
    I'll do everything to make all your days fresh and new

    Your love, keeps me satisfied
    Your love, fills my heart with pride
    Your love, keeps getting stronger
    Cause we really try
    You love, simple, sweet and pure
    Your love makes me feel secure
    Your love, and I'm very sure
    It keeps my heartbeat pounding
    Your love makes me want you more
    Your love, don't ever worry 'bout it running short
    Cause I can't do without it, Your love

    Lord only knows how much I love you
    SoI'm gonna take the time to show you
    How much I care
    Just as long as there's heaven above you
    This I can promise no other's love will I share

    Your love, keeps me going strong
    Your love, keeps me hangin' on
    Your love, this feeling never seems to disappear
    Your love, shelter from the storm
    Your love, keeps getting better to me year after year
    Your love, keeps me feeling fine
    Your love, always on my mind
    Your love just got to tell you baby one more time
    I can't do without it
    Ain't no doubt about it
    I can't do without your sweet love

    Sylvie
    Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
    Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



    Sylvie
    Ou sont tes plaisirs
    Et tes rires d'enfant
    Sylvie
    Ou sont tes désirs
    De mordre à belles dents
    La vie
    Éveillant tes jeunes printemps
    À l'aube de tes joies
    Tu pleures déjà
    Pour
    Un garçon insensé
    Qui un jour
    Sans raison a brisé
    Pour toujours
    Les espoirs de ton coeur
    Plein d'amour
    Toi tu pleures

    Sylvie
    Ce que l'on voit fuir
    Ne se rattrape pas
    Sylvie
    Armé d'un sourire
    Un inconnu viendra
    Ravi
    D'apporter des rêves en toi
    Par un nouveau bonheur
    Au fond de ton coeur
    Viens
    Car à l'âge d'aimer
    Le chagrin
    Ne doit pas t'effleurer
    Car demain
    Peut sombrer ton malheur
    Puisque rien
    Ne demeure

    Sylvie
    Quand on a de l'espoir
    Tout peux recommencer
    Sylvie
    Range ton mouchoir
    Et repoudre ton nez
    Souris
    Car la vie ce traîne à tes pieds
    Ne la repousse pas
    Tu regretteras
    Quand
    Tes années s'enfuiront
    Que le temps
    Me donnera raison
    Tristement
    Tu te diras:"trop tard!"
    En fouillant
    Ta mémoire
    Sylvie
    Là tu comprendras
    Ce que tu as perdu
    Sylvie
    Les jours d'autrefois
    Ne se revivent plus
    Aussi
    Ouvre ton coeur à l'inconnu
    Qui changera tes jours
    Par un cri d'amour

    Your Latest Trick
    Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
    Performer(s): Dire Straits; The Tribute Band



    All the late night bargains have been struck
    Between the satin beaus and their belles
    And prehistoric garbage trucks
    Have the city to themselves
    Echoes roars dinosaurs
    They're all doing the monster mash
    And most of the taxis and the whores
    Are only taking calls for cash

    I don't know how it happened
    It all took place so quick
    But all I can do is hand it to you
    And your latest trick

    My door was standing open
    Security was laid back and lax
    But it was only my heart got broken
    You must have had a pass key made out of wax
    You played robbery with insolence
    And I played the blues in twelve bars down Lover's Lane
    And you never did have the inteligence to use
    The twelve keys hanging off my chain

    I don't know how it happened
    It all took place so quick
    But all I can do is hand it to you
    And your latest trick

    Now it's past last call for alcohol
    Past recall has been here and gone
    The landlord finally paid us all
    The satin jazzmen have put away their horns
    And we're standing outside of this wonderland
    Looking so bereaved and so bereft
    Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands
    The bottle's empty and there's nothing left

    I don't know how it happened
    It was faster than the eye could flick
    But not all I can do is hand it to you
    And your latest trick

    Sylvia
    Composer(s): Oley Speaks



    Sylvia's hair is like the night
    Touched with glancing starry beams
    Such a face as drifts thro' dreams
    This is Sylvia to the sight
    And the touch of Sylvia's hand is as light as milkweed down
    When the meads are golden brown
    And the autumn fills the land
    Silvia just the echoing
    Of her voice brings back to me
    From the depths of memory
    All the loviliness of spring
    Sylvia! Sylvia!
    Such a face as drifts thro' dreams
    This is Sylvia to the sight

    Your Husband, My Wife
    Composer(s): Irwin Levine; Toni Wine
    Performer(s): Johnny Maestro & The Brooklyn Bridge;
    Skeeter Davis & Bobby Bare



    She knows I am true
    But what she don't know is I'm true to only you
    Tell me, where does it stop?
    Does he know his married life is on the rot?
    Now before you say you want me for the rest of your life
    What are we gonna do about your husband?
    And what are we gonna do about my wife?

    Sneak to your side
    In the darkness where my faithfulness must hide
    Knowing I'll forever taste
    All the tears I'll put upon my children's face
    Now before I say I want you for the rest of my life
    What are we gonna do about your husband?
    And what are we gonna do about my wife?

    Should we stop and look around
    Let's think about the hearts we'll be breakin'
    And though we want each other, need each other and love each other
    Think about the move we are makin'
    Baby, don't get right
    No matter what, we'll never never say goodbye
    And I, I promise you this
    Though she wears my ring you'll always have my kiss
    Don't ask for marriage; we can't pay the price
    'Cause you don't really wanna hurt your husband
    And I don't really wanna hurt my wife (your wife)

    Oh we'd better stop, think it over, baby
    Oh what are we gonna do now?
    Now you've got to help me, baby
    ... and fade

    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!

    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

    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

    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

    Get your groovy self on home

    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 she’d pine her heart away
    Yo lo lo lo lo lo lady yay
    ‘Cause no love came her way

    One day her papa say
    Someday we’ll go down to the village in the valley
    There you’ll meet a nice young man
    He’ll ask for your hand
    Then you’ll 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 she’d pine her heart away
    Yo lo lo lo lo lo lady yay
    But no love came her way

    Some say the maiden’s dream never came true
    She never got to go to the valley
    If she did or not I really don’t know
    Wo..ho..ho ho
    Did she die unhappy

    I’d rather think she found her love
    Wouldn’t you rather think she did find love
    Somewhere, someway
    Yodel..lady..ay
    Yodel…lady..ay

    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

    Oh yea your good girl's gonna go bad

    Along a mountain pass
    There is a patch of grass
    Where the swingin' shepherd plays a tune

    His sheep never stray
    Dancin' all day
    Til they see the pale and yellow moon

    And then he leads his flock
    And homeward they all rock
    To the tune of the swingin' shepherd blues

    Come home, shepherd
    Play those haunting trills
    Come home, shepherd
    Let it echo through the hills

    The swingin' shepherd blues

    Your good for nothing heart
    Won't ever let to start
    Loving someone who

    You don't know what you want it's plain
    And you're driving me insane
    As you go cheating cheating
    Cheating round on me

    Your good for nothing heart
    I can't have any part
    Now your love it seems
    Cause I'm never in your dreams

    Oh but someday you're gonna cry
    You'll be lonely by and by
    You won't think you're smart then
    With your good for nothing heart

    Your good for nothing heart

    Your good for nothing heart ...

    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 ...

    We're singin', we're swingin'

    We're singin' and a swingin' on the moon

    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

    À Toi De Choisir
    ((Adapted from: Swinging On A star (by Bing Crosby) - 1944)
    Composer(s): Johnny Burke - Jimmy Van Heusen - Jacques Plante
    Performer(s): Richard Anthony - 1964



    Ma petite sœur bien aimée - oh oh oh
    Viens un peu ici m'écouter - oh oh oh
    Je t'aime bien mais tu me désoles - oh oh oh
    Car tu ne fais rien à l'école !

    À toi de choisir ce que tu veux devenir - ah oui alors
    Quelqu'un dont on parle et qu'on admire - tout à fait d'accord
    Ou simplement un petit animal qui ne sait rien et qui se tient très mal
    Mais si tu prends la première solution - oui bien sûr
    Tu dois apprendre tes leçons - je ne veux pas apprendre les leçons

    Ma petite sœur bien aimée - oui oui
    Prends conseil de ton frère aîné - je veux bien je veux bien
    Pour trouver plus tard un mari - oh j'ai le temps
    Faut savoir la géométrie - menteur

    À toi de choisir ce que tu veux devenir
    Mais il faut bûcher pour réussir - à qui le dis-tu
    Savoir les chefs lieux des départements - tu le sais toi
    Et conjuguer un verbe à tout les temps
    Si l'on voyait que tu comptes sur tes doigts - comme toi
    Tous tes copains riraient de toi - tu parles ils font tous comme moi
    Oh oh oh
    Oh oh oh
    Oh oh oh

    Mais si tu fais bien tes devoirs
    Tu n'as pas de crainte à avoir
    Le succès te tendra les bras
    Et moi je serai fier de toi - oh oh oh
    Et moi je serai fier de toi - oh oh oh
    Et moi je serai fier de toi - oh oh oh

    Your Feet's Too Big
    Composer(s): Ada Benson; Fred Fisher
    Performer(s): Fats Waller;
    and various other artists



    Spoken:
    Who's that walkin' 'round here?
    Mercy!
    Sounds like baby patter
    Baby elephant patter, that's what I calls it

    Say, up in Harlem, at a table for two
    There were four of us, me, your big feet and you
    From your ankles up, I say you sure are sweet
    From there down, there's just too much feet!

    Yes, your feet's too big!
    Don't want ya 'cause your feet's too big!
    Can't use ya 'cause your feet's too big!
    I really hate ya 'cause your feet's too big!
    Yeah!

    Lah-dee-doo-dah
    Nah-dah-nah-dah
    Where d'ya get 'em?
    Nah-dee-ah-dah

    Your girl, she likes ya, she thinks you're nice
    Got what it takes to be in paradise
    She said she likes your face, she likes your rig
    But, man, oh, man, them things are too big

    Oh, your feet's too big
    Don't want ya 'cause your feet's too big!
    Mad at ya 'cause your feet's too big
    I hate ya 'cause your feet's too big

    Spoken:
    My goodness, gun the gunboats!
    Shift! Shift! Shift!

    Oh, your pedal extremities are colossal
    To me you look just like a fossil
    You got me walkin', talkin' and squawkin'
    'Cause your feet's too big, yeah

    Spoken:
    Come on and walk that thing
    Oh, I never heard o' such walkin', Mercy!
    You know your pedal extremities really are obnoxious
    One never knows, do one?
