A Woman Is A Sometime Thing
Composer(s): Ira Gershwin - DuBose Heyward - George Gershwin
First performance: Eddie Matthews - 1935
Covered by multiple other artists



Listen to yo’ daddy warn you
‘Fore you start a-traveling
Woman may born you, love you and mourn you
But a woman is a sometime thing
Yes a woman is a sometime thing

Yo’ mammy is the first to name you
Then she’ll tie you to her apron string
Then she’ll shame you and she’ll blame you
Till yo’ woman comes to claim you
‘Cause a woman is a sometime thing
Yes a woman is a sometime thing

Don’t you never let a woman grieve you
Jus’ ‘cause she got yo’ weddin’ ring
She’ll love you and deceive you
Then she’ll take yo’ clothes and leave you
“cause a woman is a sometime thing
Yes a woman is a sometime thing

Water Lou
Composer(s): Del Porter
Performer(s): Spike Jones



Drip! Drip! Drip! (Achoo)

Water Lou, she lives up the river
Water Lou, she makes my heart quiver
A pearl diver's daughter
And she's nuts about the water
Water Lou, drip, drip, drip

Water Lou, she swims all the channels
Water Lou, she swims in red flannels
She dives like an otter
Takes to water like a blotter
Water Lou, drip, drip, drip

I paddle up to see her every Sunday mornin'
In my old canoe
And when I paddle home again on Sunday evenin'
I know I've met my Waterloo

Water Lou, she lives with the fishes
Water Lou, her kiss is delicious
I love her with passion
But she's always busy splashin'
Waterloo, drip, drip, drip

I paddle up to see her every Sunday mornin'
In my old canoe
And when I paddle back again on Sunday evenin'
I know I've met my Waterloo

Oh Water Lou, she drinks only water
Water Lou, that other stuff got `er
Her knees started saggin'
Now she's on the water wagon
Water Lou, drip, drip, drip

Drip! Drip! Drip! (Achoo)

A Woman In Love
Composer(s): Frank Loesser
Performer(s): The Four Aces



Your eyes are the eyes of a woman in love
And oh, how they give you away
Why try to deny you're a woman in love
When I know very well what I say
I say no moon in the sky
Ever lent such a glow
some flame deep within made them shine
Those eyes are the eyes of a woman in love
And may they gaze ever more into mine
Crazily gaze ever more into mine

Water From A Stone
Performer(s): Jack Casady



Fooling the horizon
By learning how to dance
Outside every circle
'Cause it's your life
Learn to take a chance
Ah-ah
Squeezing water from a stone
Ah-ah
Any path can lead you home
Ah-ah
Any bridge can get you high
Ah-ah
All my love will keep you dry
Squeezing water from a stone
Making love at midnight
With tears as large as rain
Hiding under covers
Lonely as the cold
Staring down your main

Woman In Love
Composer(s): Graham Gouldman - Eric Stewart
Performer(s): 10 cc



I don't know why it's the way of the world 
(I don't know why it's the way of the world)
But meanwhile, meanwhile, meanwhile, meanwhile…

You've seen her sway when she walks down the street
Look at her eyes, see the glow in her cheeks
It ain't no secret, she can't hide it away
There's someone special, she's the dish of the day
She's a woman in love
She's a woman in her prime (She's a woman in love)
Look at her face it's a picture
She's a woman in love
She's a woman

This chemistry, you'll never find in a book
No ectochrome's gonna capture this look
These mixed emo's make your senses to real
You've got to be there to feel what she feels
She's a woman in love
She's a woman in her prime (She's a woman in love)
Look at her face it's a picture
She's a woman in love
She's a woman

Why should a woman in all innocence be the one to inspire looks that kill?
I don't know
I don't know why it's the way of the world
Some will win, some will lose but she can't tell

This kind of beauty comes from within
Shouldn't be allowed, yeah it's really a sin
You'd sell your soul for a night in her bed
You're far too late boy, I've already said
She's a woman in love
She's a woman in her prime (She's a woman in love)
Look at her face it's a picture
She's a woman in love
She's a woman
She’s a woman in love
Look at her face it's a picture
She's a woman in love
She's a woman
She’s a woman in love
Look at her face it's a picture
She's a woman in love
This one is mine

Water boy, where are you hiding
If you don't come right here
Gonna tell you pa on you

That ring like mine

I'm gonna bust this rock boy
From here to the Macon
All the way to the jail boy
All the way to the jail

You Jack o diamond
Jack o diamond
Know you of old boy
I know you're of old
You rob-a my pocket
Rob my pocket
Silver and gold boy
Of silver and gold
There ain't no sweat boy
That's on a this mountain
That run like mine boy
That run like mine

A Woman In A Man's World
Composer(s): Andrew Kastner - Larry John McNally
Performer(s): Chaka Khan; Tina Turner



It's a losing game I play
In a dog eat dog, show biz town
I've got a dream of my own
And I carry my own weight
But still they try to drag me down

I'm a woman in a man's world
I'm a woman in a man's world

So I'm fool enough to say
That a woman's place is in the home
Working twice as hard
For the same reward as any man, yeah

I'm a woman in a man's world
I'm a woman in a man's world

For my very own
It'll make me strong if I don't give in
'Cause the harder the fight
Oh, the sweeter the prize I'm sure to win

Water
Composer(s): Lynsey de Paul
Performer(s): Lynsey de Paul



Water falling off of my back 
And I don't recall it there 
Water from the zodiac 
Mixing fire earth and air 

It doesn't matter what sign you are 
Just as long as you can be free 
Sticks and stones may break my bones 
And harsh words come between us 
I can keep my head up 
While you're drowning in your... 

Water falling off of my back 
And I don't recall it there 
Water from the zodiac 
Mixing fire earth and air 

I took myself down to a gypsy queen 
I took a look into her crystal ball 
Time and tide may wait for no-one 
But I'm in no hurry 
One, two, three and you and me 
And everyone that you can see is... 

Water falling off of my back 
And I don't recall it there 
Water from the zodiac 
Mixing fire earth and air 

Woah woah woah water

A Woman Has Wrecked Many A Good Man 
Composer(s): Carrie Rodgers - Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



Did you ever wakeup on a Sunday morn
With the blues all around your bed
I bet you have, yes and I have too 
Lord you’d have an achin’ head

Your friends would come around and give advice
And then you’d have to stall
But if your bottle was insight
Lord they wouldn’t leave you none at all
Do you hear me Brother? 
They wouldn’t leave you none at all

I’ll tell you brother and I won’t lie
What’s the matter in this land
There’s too many women just like old Eve
They’ll fool you if they can

They’ll make you love them and then break your heart
Mess up all of your plans
A Woman
Lord has ruined many a good man
I said it brother 
Lord has ruined many a good man

Now mister bartender don’t be so slow
Cause I need another drink
And after all this is my dough
And you ain’t getting’ paid to think

So wipe that frown from off your face
And please try to understand
That a Woman
Lord has ruined many a good man
I said it brother 
Lord has ruined many a good man

So as you travel though this life
What ever be your goal
This old world is full of grief and strife
And all that glitters sure ain’t gold

So if you’ve got a loving gal
Brother, keep her if you can
But a Woman 
Lord has ruined many a good man
I’m glad I said it 
Lord has ruined many a good man

Watching The Wildlife
Composer(s): Peter Gill; Holly Johnson;
Brian Nash; Mark O'Toole
Performer(s): Frankie Goes To Hollywood



Watching the wildlife
On my way home, the state of rome
People gliding on the floor
Pleased with life not needing more
Sunset on the river
People go home in the rain
Familiar faces on the train
Running scared, and staying sane

If you live by the sword
Well that’s your own reward
So don’t walk with me
Watching the wildlife
The beast within you
Eats your heart out
Get free from hate and get in love

Boys in the backyard
The girls are hanging out the lines
Washing the day, wash your troubles away
Its game we have to play
Ghosts are chasing you round
Things that happened in the past
Don’t make that mistake again
The sun beats down the streets of passion

If you live by the sword
Well that’s your own reward
So don’t talk with me
Watching the wildlife
The beast within you
Eats your heart out
Get free from hate and get in love

Your own worst enemy
Get free from hate and get in love

If you live by the sword
Watching the wildlife
Watching you
The beast within you too
Watching the wildlife

Get in love, get in love

Watching the wildlife
We all live in a dream in home
We watch tv and drive a car
We go outside, but not too far
Watching the wildlife
We walk the water like a sun
Living cuts you like a knife
Living here watching the wildlife

Get in love, get in love

A Woman Can Change A Man
Composer(s): Frank Farian - Fred Jay
Performer(s): Boney M.



A woman can change a man
If she loves him, the way that I'm in love with you
I know it, I know that I can
If it's the last thing, the last thing I'd ever do

So you may still feel the same old yearning
Believe me the flame will soon stop burning

A woman can change a man
If she stays with him whatever maybe in store for her
So just put, your trust in me
I'll never hurt you baby, I'll never desert you babe

It feels so good just to be near you
To feel your lips, to see and hear you
Ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...

I'll be forever your shadow, walking next to you
Caring for you, is what I won't do for you baby
A woman can change a man
Make him want her, and make him wanna be with her
Oh baby I've no secret plans
I just hope in my heart, someday you'll be free of her

So you may still feel the same old yearning
Believe me the flame will soon stop burning

Ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...
Ah...ah...ah...ah...ah... 

Watching The Wheels
Composer(s): John Lennon
Performer(s): John Lennon;
and various other artists



People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings
to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm o.k. they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game

People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice
designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine
watching shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time boy
you're no longer on the ball?

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels
go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

People asking questions lost in confusion
Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
Well they shake their heads and look
at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry...
I'm just sitting here doing time

I'm just sitting here watching
the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

A Winter Romance
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Ken Lane
Performer(s): Dean Martin; Beegie Adair



I never will forget the station where we met
You dropped your skis....a happy circumstance
No one would have guessed we had started
Started a winter romance

And all the way to Maine, on that enchanted train
The passing scenery didn't get a glance
We held hands, completely light hearted
Off  to a winter romance

We danced that night, by candle light
The world was white with snow
The way we felt, we never felt
The snow could melt and go

But though the snow is gone, the romance lingers on
And those that said it didn't stand a chance
Will know when they see us together
That love's not been controlled by the weather

And all of our summers, we'll have our winter romance
(Though the snow is gone the romance lingers on)
(And those that said it didn't stand a chance)
Will know when they see us together
That love's not been controlled by the weather
And all of our summers, we'll have our winter romance

Watching The River Run
Composer(s): Kenny Loggins; Jim Messina
Performer(s): Loggins & Messina



If you've been thinking you're all that you've got
Then don't feel alone anymore
When we're together, then you've got a lot
'Cause I am the river and you are the shore

And it goes on and on, oh, watching the river run
Further and further from things that we've done
Leaving them one by one
And we have just begun watching the river run
Listening, learning and yearning to
Run, river, run

Winding and swirling and dancing along
We pass by the old willow tree
Where lovers caress as we sing of our song
Twisting together when we greet the sea

And it goes on and on, watching the river run
Further and further from things that we've done
Leaving them one by one
And we have just begun watching the river run
Listening, learning and yearning to
Run, river, run

And it goes on and on, watching the river run
Further and further from things that we've done
Leaving them one by one
And we have just begun watching the river run
Listening, learning and yearning to
Run, river, run

Watching The River Flow
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Bob Dylan



What's the matter with me? 
I don't have much to say
Daylight's sneaking' through the window
And I'm still in this all night cafe
Walking to and fro beneath the moon
Out to where the trucks are rolling slow
Sit out on this bank of sand and watch the river flow

Wish I was back in the city instead of this old bank of sand
With the sun beatin' down over the chimney tops
And the one I love so close at hand
If I had wings and I could fly, I know where I would go
But right now I just sit here so contentedly 
And watch the river flow

People disagreein' on just about everything, yeah
Makes you stop and wonder why
Why only yesterday I saw someone on the street
Who just couldn't help but cry

Chorus
Oh, but this old river keeps on rollin' though
No matter what gets in the way and which was the wind does blow
And as long as it does I just sit here
And watch the river flow

People disagreein' everywhere you look
Makes you want to stop and read a book
Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street
That was really shook

[Chorus]

Watch the river flow, watching the river flow
Watching the river flow
Well, I just sit out on this bank of sand
And watch the river flow

A Wilderness
Composer(s): Laura Nyro
Performer(s): Laura Nyro



Cinnamon hills
Sweet child
And waves of whisper blue
Earth calls to you
Every day in every way
Momma's puttin' on some warpaint
For a little bit of combat
You asked the reason
You gotta fight for your freedom
Sometimes everyday
In every way

Many people pass by
Caught up in roles and rules
Many rivers run free
I don't wanna' crush
The wilderness in you child
Or the wilderness in me
How do we keep them both alive?
Somehow they must survive
Somehow they must survive

We go together
Through the changing seasons
Hearts afire
You know the world needs it
Everyday in every way
Little darling
Zap
Touch the earth child
Heaven and earth child
Ahm ahm ahm
Is that a monster?
Yep - no, a crocodile
Ee's eatin' the bed
See im?
Ahm ahm ahm
I'm ona eat mommy
And bed all up!
Ahm ahm ahm

A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me

Another night
Everyone's asleep but me
But I guess I better
See what's on T.V.

Lookin' at the face
Of a clock on the wall
It said, 'Don, your baby
Won't be home again tonight at all'
Just another night
For waitin' for you, honey
Watchin' the late, late, show

I'm just ten cent away
By telephone
But you won't call
You won't bring it home
The ceilins' are easin' down
My walls are movin' in
I got you on my mind
Don't know what picture I'm watching
In the midnight hour
Wanting you in my arms, honey
Watching the late, late, show

What cha tryin' to do drive me crazy?
Ooo-yeah!

Watching The Detectives
Composer(s): Elvis Costello
Performer(s): Elvis Costello;
and various other artists



Nice girls, not one with a defect
cellophane shrink-wrapped, so correct
Red dogs under illegal legs
She looks so good that he gets down and begs
She is watching the detectives, ooh - "he's so cute"
She is watching the detectives when they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot
They beat him up until the tear-drops start
But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart

Long shot of that jumping sign
Visible shivers running down my spine
Cut the baby taking off her clothes
Close-up of the sign that says "We never close"
You snatch a tune, you match a cigarrette
She pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet

I don't know how much more of this I can take
She filing her finger nails while they're dragging the lake
She is . . .

You think you're alone until you realize you're in it
Now your fear is here to stay 
Love is here for a visit
They call is instant justice when it's past the legal limit
Someone's scratching at the window 
I wonder who is it?
The detectives come to check if you belong to the parents
who are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance
Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay
it only took my little fingers to blow you away

Just like watching the detectives 
Don't get cute
It's just like watching the detectives 
I get so angry when the tear-drops start
but he can't be wounded cause he's got no heart
Watching the detectives 
It's just like watching the detectives
Watching the detectives 
Watching the detectives

Aladdin: 
Onze wereld is mooi, spannend, schitterend, stralend
Het is een wereld waarin je al je zorgen snel vergeet
Ik maak je horizon breed
toon je wonder na wonder
Alles even bijzonder op een Perzisch toverkleed
Vlieg met me mee
Van nu af zijn we beide vrij
Niemand die ons gebied mag wel mag niet
Of zegt dat wij maar dromen

Jasmine: 
Vlieg met je mee
het is of ik door de ruimte glij
Wij staan nu samen in een nieuw begin
Een nieuwe wereld wacht op jou en mij

Aladdin: 
Een nieuwe wereld wacht op jou en mij

Jasmine: 
Eindelijk helemaal vrij
Wie had dat durven denken
Zweven, tuimelen en zwenken
Al die ruimte voor jou en mij
Vlieg met je mee

Aladdin: 
Geef je ogen de kost

Jasmine: 
Hoe is dit alles ooit ontstaan

Aladdin: 
Het is adembenemend

Jasmine: 
Ik ben net een meteoor ik schiet maar door
Het is nou telaat om nu nog terug te gaan

Aladdin: 
Een nieuw begin

Jasmine: 
Alles even subliem

Aladdin: 
Mijn hart is vol van geluk

Jasmine: 
Het is net of we dromen

Samen:
