and multiple other artists



We're on the move!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We've got the groove!

There's been so many things that held us down
But now it looks like things are finally comin' around
I know we've got, a long long way to go
and where we'll end up, I don't know
But we won't let nothin' hold us back
we're putting our selves together
we're polishing up our act!
If you felt we've been held down before
I know you'll refuse to be held down anymore!

Don't you let nothing, nothing
Stand in your way!
I want ya'll to listen, listen
to every word I say, every word I say!

Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We're on the move!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We've got the groove!

Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We're on the move!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We've got the groove!

I know you know someone that has a negative vibe
and if you're trying to make it they only push you aside
They really don't have, nowhere to go
Ask them where they're going, they don't know
But we won't let nothin' hold us back
we're gonna put our selves together
we're gonna polish up our act!
And if you've ever been held down before
I know you'll refuse to be held down anymore!

Don't you let nothing, nothing
Stand in your way!
I want ya'll to listen, listen
to every word I say, every word I say!

Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We're on the move!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We've got the groove!

Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We're on the move!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We've got the groove! 

When My Baby Smiles
Composer(s): Irving Berlin



I don't care if the weather's fair or if skies are gray
I don't frown when the rain comes down on a rainy day
It may storm and thunder for the longest while 
Still I'll say it's a lovely day
When I see my baby smile

I don't brood when the price of food goes away up high
Didn't mind when I woke to find, that the town went dry
Let the skies be cloudy for the longest while 
Blue or gray, every things O.K. 
When I see my baby smile

When my baby smiles at me 
Oh what a beautiful day 
All my troubles go hurrying by 
Just like bubbles they fly to the sky
And I never ask the weather man 
Whether it's fair or warmer 
Rain or shine the weather's fine when my baby smiles

Ain't No Song
Composer(s): Joey Levine - David Spinozza
Performer(s): James Taylor



There ain't no melody
And I can't find a harmony
If there were a way to say it
You know I would have played it

Well, I'm a man of few words
Trying to find a rhyme
And finally it occurred to me
That I'm wasting my time
There ain't no rhyme or reason
Ain't no time or season
Ain't no way around it
I know I would have found it

There ain't no song in the whole wide world
Could hardly sing without you
There ain't no song in the whole wide world
To tell you the way that I feel

Painters use their eyes 
To show us what they see
But when that canvas dries 
We all see it differently

There ain't black or white
There ain't no day or night
There ain't no way around it
You know I would have found it

No, No, No, I might as well pack it on up
Not even this song's gonna tell you the way that I feel

When Mexico Gave Up the Rhumba
(To Do the Rock and Roll)
Composer(s): Gale Jones
Performer(s): Mitchell Torok



Down in Mexico, at each high noon
Siesta is the thing
You can find me sleepin' out in the shade
While the birds softly sing
But from the radio, there comes a U.S. show
And the disc-jockey's playin' the blues
Before they know what's happened
They're up and clappin'
To the tune of the blue suede shoes

One, two, and then rock
It's the funniest thing ever told
The day that Mexico gave up the rhumba
To do the rock and roll

In the middle of town, the pecker bullring stands
It reaches to the sky
Inside's a matador, he's got his sword in hand
And a bull is fixing to die
But from the phonograph, there comes a frantic sound
And the sword drops from his hands
The bull begins to dance, around in the dust
To the beat of a picker brass band

One, two, and then rock
It's the funniest thing ever told
The day that Mexico gave up the rhumba
To do the rock and roll

In the summertime, the tourists come
Expecting to see the scenes
Of the quiet places and the quiet faces
They read of in magazines
But in their amazement, when they find this craze
Is not in the U.S. alone
They used to dance `neath the stars to the Spanish guitars
But now they do it to a saxophone

One, two, and then rock
It's the funniest thing ever told
The day that Mexico gave up the rhumba
To do the rock and roll

Ain't No Pleasing You
Composer(s): Dave Peacock - Chas Hodges
Performer(s): Chas & Dave



Well I built my life around you, did what I thought was right
But you never cared about me, now I’ve seen the light
Oh darling, there ain’t no pleasin’ you

You seemed to think that everything I ever did was wrong
I should have known it, all along
Oh darlin’, there ain’t no pleasin’ you

You only ‘ad to say the word
And you knew I’d do it
You ‘ad me where you wanted me
But you went and blew it

Now everything I ever done, was only done for you
But now you can go and do, just what you wanna do
I’m tellin’ you

Coz I ain’t gonna be made to look a fool no more
You done it once too often, what do ya take me for?
Oh darlin’, there ain’t no pleasin’ you

And you seemed to think that everything I ever did was wrong
I should ‘ave known it all along
That darlin’, there ain’t no pleasin’ you

You only ‘ad to say the word
And you knew I’d do it
You ‘ad me where you wanted me
But you went and blew it

Now everything I ever done, was only done for you
But now you can go and do, just what you wanna do
I’m tellin’ you

Coz I ain’t gonna be made to look a fool no more
You done it once too often, what do ya take me for?
Oh darlin’, there ain’t no pleasin’ you

Now if you think I don’t mean what I say, and I’m only bluffin’
You got another thing comin’, I’m tellin’ you that for nothin’
Coz darlin’ I’m leavin’
That’s what I’m gonna...do-oo-oo

When Love Is Young
Composer(s): Rida Johnson Young - M. Melville Ellis
Performer(s): Harry Woodruff



The beads on the wine in our glorious youth 
And life's full of fervor and zest
And the world is made bright by the light of a smile
Or the sound of the voice we love best
There's a thrill of delight in the touch of her hand
All the Earth's bubbling over with joy
Oh! the love that we give to the girls that we love
When we're boys, boys, boys

There are various way that a fellow may love 
And most of us sample them all
And the older and stronger you are when it strikes
The harder and deeper you fall
But there's no love on earth that holds half the thrill
No love that has half the joys 
As love that we give to the girls that we love
When we're boys, boys, boys

When love is young in Springtime
And boys are youthful, too 
And girls are so alluring 
What can a fellow do? 
A look, a smile, a dimple
You're caught, you're captured, stung
There's danger in the very air 
When love is young

Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Composer(s): Nicholas Ashford - Valerie Simpson
First release by: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



If you need me, call me 
No matter where you are, no matter how far 
Just call my name 
I'll be there in a hurry 
On that you can depend and never worry
(You see, my love is alive 
It's like a seed that only needs the thought of you to grow 
So if you feel the need for company, please, my darling, let it be me 
I may not be able to express the depth of the love I feel for you 
but a writer put it very nicely when he was away from the one he loved 
He sat down and wrote these words)

No wind, (No wind) no rain, (no rain)
Nor winter's cold
Can stop me, babe (oh, babe) baby (baby)
If you're my goal

No wind, no rain
Can stop me, babe
If you wanna go

I know, I know you must follow the sun
Wherever it leads
But remember
If you should fall short of your desires
Remember life holds for you one guarantee
You'll always have me

And if you should miss my love
One of these old days
If you should ever miss the arms
That used to hold you so close, or the lips
That used to touch you so tenderly
Just remember what I told you
The day I set you free

Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (Say it again)
Ain't no river wild enough
To keep me from you

Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (Say it again)
Ain't no river wild enough
To keep me from you

Ain't no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
To keep me from you

Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (One more time)
Ain't no river wild enough (Say it again)
To keep me from you

Ain't no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
To keep me from you

When Love Is Gone
Composer(s): Michael Morgan; Steve Edward Nelson
Performer(s): Photoglo



When love is gone I always get the feeling
I can't go on, find myself dreamin' of things
That could've been and all the things we never say
Oh, oh, oh, when love is gone
Will it ever be the same
Will I go on chasing heartaches
And learn to face the day
When I have done what I must do
Oh, I'll remember you when love is gone

Everyone's in couples as I walk alone thinkin'
I'll never find another love
Never know the beauty of
Oh, oh, oh, when love is gone
Will it ever be the same
Will I go on chasing heartaches
And learn to face the day
When I have done what I must do
Oohh-oh, I'll remember you, la-la-la....

When love is gone will it ever be the same
Will I go on chasing heartaches
And learn to face the day
When I have done what I must do
Oh, I'll remember you

Ain't No Man Righteous, No Not One
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Maria Muldaur; Jah Malla



When a man he serves the Lord, it makes his life worthwhile
It don't matter 'bout his position, it don't matter 'bout his lifestyle
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
And there ain't no man righteous, no not one

Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood
He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good
Some like to worship on the moon, others are worshipping the sun
And there ain't no man righteous, no not one

Look around, ya see so many social hypocrites
Like to make rules for others while they do just the opposite

You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag
Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag
In a city of darkness there's no need of the sun
And there ain't no man righteous, no not one

Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame
I never did see no fire that could put out a flame

Pull your hat down, baby, pull the wool down over your eyes
Keep a-talking, baby, 'til you run right out of alibis
Someday you'll account for all the deeds that you done
Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one

God got the power, man has got his vanity
Man gotta choose before God can set him free
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?
Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one

When I'm gone don't wonder where I be
Just say that I trusted in God and that Christ was in me
Say He defeated the devil, He was God's chosen Son
And that there ain't no man righteous, no not one

When Love Goes Wrong
Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael; Harold Adamson
Performer(s): Marilyn Monroe



When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
This one thing I know
When love goes wrong
A man takes flight
And women get uppity-oh

The sun don't beam
The moon don't shine
The tide don't ebb and flow
A clock won't strike
A match won't light
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right

The blues all gather round you
And day is dark as night
A man ain't fit to live with
And a woman's sorry sight

When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes, nothing goes rjght
A woman's a fright, a terrible sight
A man goes out, gets high as a kite
Love is something you just can't fight
You can't fight it, honey

You can't fight it
When love goes wrong, nothin'
No bows, honey, just cigat bars and off
Nothing goes right
Crazy, Crazy oui, oui

lt's like we said
You're better off dead
When love has lost its glow
So take this down in black and white
When love goes wrong nothing goes right
When love goes wrong nothing goes right
Nothing goes right

Baby, since you been around

Ain't no love in the heart of the city
Ain't no love in the heart of town
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity, child

Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around
'cos you ain't around

When Liking Turns To Loving
Composer(s): J. Fishman; K. Young
Performer(s): Ronnie Dove



I hold her hand much tighter now
Stars are shining brighter now and through out the day I find
She's always on my mind
What a wonderful, wonderful feeling
When liking turns to loving

Kiss from her, means so much more
Now I know what kissing for 
The tender smiles I use to know, now I cherish so
What a wonderful, wonderful feeling
When liking turns to loving

Just a little girl, (a little girl) now she's my whole world
Music feels the starlet night, when I kiss and hold her tight
And one day just the way we plan, she'll wear my wedding band
What a wonderful, wonderful feeling
When liking turns to loving

And one day just the way we plan, she'll wear my wedding band
What a wonderful, wonderful feeling
When liking turns to loving
What a wonderful, wonderful feeling 

Ain't No Law In California
Composer(s): Charlie Daniels
Performer(s): The Charlie Daniels Band



I was hanging in out in L.A. looking for a real cool place to go
I struck up a conversation with this dude wearing hip hop clothes
He said you talk like you're from Texas let me welcome you to our town
An I hope you have a real find day
But don't you let me catch you when the sun goes down

We got scalawags we got queens in drag we got pushers pimps and punks
We got crips and bloods we got dykes and studs
We've got junkies thieves and drunks
This is where the juice got turned aloose and if you ain't caught on yet
Ain't no law in California
Welcome to the wild wild west

He said there's women in this city that are just too low down to crawl
And homeboys packing pieces they'll shoot you just to watch you fall
You'ld better get on back to Hicksville that's the bast thing you can do
There's hustlers hoods and outlaws that'd love to find a country boy like you

We got scalawags we got queens in drag we got pushers pimps and punks
We got crips and bloods we got dykes and studs
We've got junkies thieves and drunks
This is where the juice got turned aloose and if you ain't caught on yet
Ain't no law in California
Welcome to the wild wild west

Performer(s): Benny Carter;
and various other artists



Sweet music soft and mellow
Soothing and low
Strains of a mellow cello
When lights are low

Dear, we're so close together
I love you so
Why think about the weather
When light are low

Two hearts revealing
Music hath charms
Life's so appealing
With inspiration in your arms

Our lips meeting soft and tender
Loves all aglow
Why shouldn't we surrender
When lights are low

Two hearts revealing
Music hath charms
Life's so appealing
With inspiration in your arms

Our lips meeting soft and tender
Loves all aglow
Why shouldn't we surrender
When lights are low 

Ain't No Good Life
Composer(s): Steve Gaines
Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd



Ain't no good life 
Not the one that I lead 
'Cause the more I fight the sadness, yeah 
It only seems the more that I grieve 
Well I look back on the good times 
As some lost part of me 
I wanna know, tell me why is it so 
Well just because I don't pray 
Lord, that don't mean I ain't forgiven 
Just 'cause I'm alive 
That don't mean I'm makin' a livin' 

I'm gonna get myself together 
I'm gonna try a dyin' attempt 
Talkin' about the good times slippin' by 
Yeah I tell ya 
I don't even know where last month went 
Well I can't make no money baby 
Well 'cause my money's already spent 
And I know where it went 
I said it went on that damn rent 
Well I don't mean change, baby 
I mean foldin' money 
Well I want lovin', said I don't need a buddy 
I don't need nobody, now 

Ain't exactly my idea 
Its sort of old, borrowed and blue 
Just tryin' to say 
Don't try that straight life buddy 
Oh you'll find it kind of hard on you 
Women, don't try to cook nothin' up, ooh 
Brother you know you'll only wind up in your own stew 
Just don't let nobody tell you, oh what you oughta do 

When Julie Comes Around
Composer(s): Paul Vance; Lee Pockriss
Performer(s): The Cuff Links



A poem with no rhyme
A clock without time
A ship without sails, just drifting on the water
That's just how I feel
Whenever she's gone
That's just how I feel
My life's unreal
But I go on (and on, and on...)

I wait till Julie comes around, and sings a happy song of summer
And lifts my spirit up, and fills my foolish mind with wonder
She smiles a gentle smile
And suddenly I get that feeling, and then
I'm inside out with love
'Cause Julie's come around again

She's just like a bird
She follows the sun
She spread out her wings
And once again she leaves me
It's always the same
I'm broken in two
But after awhile I always know
What I must do...

I wait till Julie comes around, and sings a happy song of summer
And lifts my spirit up, and fills my foolish mind with wonder
She smiles a gentle smile
And suddenly I get that feeling, and then
I'm inside out with love
'Cause Julie's come around again

When Julie comes around and sings a happy song of summer
And lifts my spirit up, and fills my foolish mind with wonder ... 

Ain't No Good Chain Gang
Composer(s): Hal Bynum - Dave Kirby
Performer(s): Waylon Jennings & Johnny Cash; Ed Bruce



Bet it ain't rainin' back home
Bet your sister's still on the phone
Bet Momma's in the kitchen, cooking fried chicken
Wishing that I hadn't done wrong

Yeah, Momma, don't you worry about it none though
Everything's gonna be all right, Momma
They're teaching us a lot of new things in here, Momma
Things like

There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writin' hot cheques, down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang

Papa's readin' yesterday's mail
Wishin' that the hay was all baled
I bet he's a-wishin', we could go fishin'
And here I am a-laying in jail

Well, Papa, don't you worry about it none now
Everything's gonna be all right, Papa
They're teaching us a lesson a day; we're learning pretty well, too
We've already learned a whole lot of stuff already
Things like

There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writin' hot cheques, down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang

There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writin' hot cheques, down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang

There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writin' hot cheques, down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang ...

When Judy Smiled
Composer(s): Jimmy Dean; Casons
Performer(s): Jimmy Dean



Things would go at their usual pace
The hustle and bustle as we ran life's race
But the world somehow was a prettier place
When Judy smiled

And that's just what Judy'ld always do
She made you feel that it was just for you
And things that were old became shiny and new
When Judy smiled

The lovely hours, such joy, such fun
A glance, a touch and my whole world spun an'
I felt like a Hershey that was left in the sun
When Judy smiled

Then I saw a face that was filled with pain an'
She hadn't known that I was near
But for me, through eyes that were filled with tears
I saw her smile.....
Judy smiled

Oh God why? Why her? Why now?
Why not me? I deserve somehow
But she'd never hurt anyone, she didn't know how
She just smiled, she always smiled

Through life's empty streets I walk
See no faces and I hear no talk
Flesh and blood that's turned to chalk
'Cos she no longer smiles

The blade thrust deep, my life ebbs slow
God please forgive, but
I gotta try to go
To where Judy smiles 

Ain't No Fun (Waiting Round To Be A Millionaire)
Composer(s): Bon Scott - Malcolm Young - Angus Young
Performer(s): AC/DC



The following is a true story
Only the names have been changed
To protect the guilty

Well I left my job in my home town
And I headed for the smoke
Got a rock 'n' roll band and a fast right hand
Gonna get to the top
Nothing's gonna stop us, no nothing

So if you've got the money, we've got the sound
You put it up and we'll put it down
If you've got the dollar, we've got the song
Just wanna boogie woogie all night long
Yeah boogie

I got holes in my shoes
I got holes in my teeth
I got holes in my socks
I can't get no sleep
I'm trying to make a million

And I got patches on the patches
On my old blue jeans
Well they used to be blue
When they used to be new
When they used to be clean

But I've got a Mumma who's a hummer
Just keeping me alive
While I'm in the band doing drinking with the boys
She's working 9 to 5
She knows her place that woman

Just you wait
One of these days see me driving round town
In my Rock 'n' Rolls Royce with the sun roof down
My bottle of booze, no summer time blues
Shouting out, "Look at me" in my rock 'n' roll voice

No it ain't no fun, yeah
Waiting round to be a millionaire
No it ain't no fun
Waiting round to be a millionaire

Do you believe me
It ain't no fun, no
Waiting round to be a millionaire
It ain't no fun, I don't care what they say

Waiting round to be a millionaire
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, ain't no fun
Waiting round to be a millionaire

Got a million dollar scream
But it ain't no fun, (ain't no fun), oh no

But it ain't no fun, (ain't no fun), and I wanna be rich

Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire, you better believe me

Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire
No it ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire
No it ain't no fun (ain't no fun)

Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire
No it ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire
