When That Man Is Dead And Gone Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Al Bowlly; and various other artists
When that man is dead and gone When that man is dead and gone Well go dancing down the street Kissing everyone we meet When that man is dead and gone
What a day to wake up on What a way to greet the dawn Some fine day the newsll flash Satan with a small moustache Is asleep beneath the lawn When that man is dead and gone
Satan, Satan, thought up a plan Dressed as a man Walking the earth and since he began The world is hell for you and me But what a heaven it will be
When that man is dead and gone When that man is dead and gone When they lay him twelve feet deep Ill be there to laugh, not weep When that man is dead and gone
What a day to wake up on What a way to greet the dawn Satanll take him by the hand To meet old Gerring, look what, man When that man is dead and gone When that man is dead and gone
Some fine day the newsll flash Satan with a small moustache Is asleep beneath the lawn When that man is dead and gone
What a day to wake up on What a way to greet the dawn When a certain man is dead and gone
'Taint Nobody's Biz-ness if I Do Composer(s): Porter Grainger - Everett Robbins First release by: Anna Meyers & Original Memphis Five - 1922 Covered by multiple other artists
There ain't nothin' I can do Or nothing I can say That folks don't criticize me But I'm gonna do what I want to anyway And I don't care just what people say
If I should take a notion to jump into the ocean 't Ain't nobody's bizness if I do
If I go to church on sunday then cabaret all day monday 't Ain't nobody's bizness if I do
If my man ain't got no money and I say take all mine honey 't Ain't nobody's bizness if I do
If I give him my last nickle and it leaves me in a pickle 't Ain't nobody's bizness if I do
I'd rather my man would hit me than for him to jump up and quit me 't Ain't nobody's bizness if I do
I swear I won't call no coppa if I'm beat up by my poppa 't Ain't nobody's bizness if I do
Nobody's bizness, ain't nobody's bizness Nobody's biznes if I do
When Sunny Gets Blue Composer(s): Jack Segal; Marvin Fisher Performer(s): Johnny Mathis
When Sunny gets blue, her eyes get gray and cloudy Then the rain begins to fall Pitter-patter, pitter-patter, love is gone so what can matter? No sweet lovin' man comes to call
When Sunny gets blue, she breathes a sigh of sadness Like the wind that stirs the trees Wind that sets the leaves to swayin' like some violins are playin' Weird and haunting melodies
People used to love to-o-o hear her laugh, see her smile That's how she got her name Since that sad affair she's lost her smile, changed her style Somehow she's not the same
But mem'ries will fade and pretty dreams will rise up Where her other dreams fell through Hurry, new love, hurry here to kiss away each lonely tear And hold her near when Sunny gets blue
Hurry, new love, hurry here to kiss away each lonely tear And hold her near when Sunny gets blue
When Summer Is Gone Composer(s): Sonny Curtis Performer(s): Gary Lewis & The Playboys
I'll see you in September when summer is gone Have a good time but remember, I'll be waiting back home And when you go out dating with some guy all alone Just remember I'll be waiting when summer is gone
When the warm June nights surround you Don't fall under his spell When he puts his arms around you Remember that I loved you so well
And I'll see you in September when summer is gone Have a good time but remember Come back to me when summer is gone
When the warm June nights surround you Don't fall under his spell When he puts his arms around you Remember that I loved you so well
And I'll see you in September when summer is gone Have a good time but remember Come back to me when summer is gone
Ain't Nobody Home (In California) Composer(s): John Kay Performer(s): John Kay
When I returned here back from the Islands You know I couldn't say enough 'bout old Kauai But now I'm out here on the road Calling friends back home But I just get the phone machine and this reply
Ain't nobody home in California All your friends have gone to Molokai Ain't nobody home in California Everybody's off to see Hawaii
May your journey seem forever May the Islands touch your heart And if you leave it all the way you found it May the peace that you'll find never part
I wish I'd be there, back in the Islands You know, I'd ride along the beach at Hana Bay But I'm stuck in Waco, Texas At the Paradise Motel And now there's no one waiting for me in L.A. 'Cause
Nobody's home in California All your friends have gone to Molokai Ain't nobody home in California Everybody's off to see Hawaii
Soon my travels will be over And soon a plane will take me home And just as soon I can make it over I'll be leaving these words on my phone

One night farmer brown was takin' the air Locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care Down in the hen house something stirred When he shouted, "who's there?" This is what he heard

There ain't nobody here but us chickens There ain't nobody here at all You're stompin' around and shakin' the ground Youre Kicking up an ful dust We chickens tryin' to sleep and you bust in And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, it's a sin
Tomorrow is a busy day We got things to do, we got eggs to lay Worms to catch, ground to scratch It takes a lot of sittin', gettin' chicks to hatch
There aint nobody here but us chickens There aint nobody here at all So quiet yourself and stop that fuss There aint nobody here but us And kindly point that gun the other way And hobble, hobble, hobble off and hit the hay
Tomorrow is a busy day We got things to do, we got eggs to lay Worms to catch and ground to scratch It takes a lot of settin', gettin' chicks to hatch

When She Loved Me Composer(s): Randy Newman Performer(s): Sarah McLachlan; and various other artists
When somebody loved me Everything was beautiful Every hour we spent together Lives within my heart
And when she was sad I was there to dry her tears And when she was happy so was I When she loved me
Through the summer and the fall We had each other that was all Just she and I together Like it was meant to be And when she was lonely I was there to comfort her And I knew that she loved me
So the years went by I stayed the same But she began to drift away I was left alone Still I waited for the day When she'd say I will always love you
Lonely and forgotten Never thought she'd look my way And she smiled at me And held me Just like she used to do Like she loved me When she loved me
When somebody loved me Everything was beautiful Every hour we spent together Lives within my heart

When Shadows Fall I Hear You Calling California Performer(s): Tot Seymour; Milo Rega
You'll find every native son, when his roaming days are done has a feeling so forlorn for the place where he was born I'm no different from the rest, I've that feeling in my breast I've a longing for the Golden West
I can see each sun kissed hill, it gives me a wholesome thrill and I see the orange tree, that once sheltered you and me I hope I'll be back there soon, mid the roses' sweet perfume where each day is like a day in June
When shadows fall I hear you calling California your sheltering palms stretch out their arms Each gentle breeze brings memories of California in every dream I just seem to be going back to the one I love I know somebody who is waiting to caress me two eyes of blue, said they'd be true I'm going there where the palm trees are swaying that's where I'm longing to be two loving arms beneath the palms are calling me
Ain't No Way To Treat A Lady ((French Version: Je Veux T'aimer Comme Une Femme (by Mireille Mathieu) - 1975)) Composer(s): Harriet Schock First release by: Harriet Schock - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists
I guess it was yourself you were involved with I would have sworn it was me I might have found out sooner if You'd only let me close enough to see
That ain't no way to treat a lady No way to treat your baby Your woman your friend That ain't no way to treat a lady, no way But maybe it's a way for us to end
I was only bein' a picture With all the colors I know While you were busy looking into Wide blue mirrors and lovin' the show
That ain't no way to treat a lady No way to treat your baby Your woman your friend That ain't no way to treat a lady, no way But maybe it's a way for us to end
There's a funny kind of consolation Keepin' me sane And I'd really like to share it Crawl on deep in my brain You see the time you never felt me Lovin' you or needin' you So leavin' you now You still won't know how to feel the pain
I was lookin' out for my happiness While you were looking within And before you know your own reflection Always starts to tire you, it's happened again
That ain't no way to treat a lady No way to treat your baby Your woman your friend That ain't no way to treat a lady, no way But maybe it's a way for us to end
That ain't no way to treat a lady No way to treat your baby Your woman your friend That ain't no way to treat a lady, no way But maybe it's a way for us to end ...
When Seasons Change Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield Performer(s): Curtis Mayfield
When seasons change and we've again surpassed September A lot of scars that kind of scare you to remember Scufflin' times in seeing people trying to put you down For goodness sakes People trying to take what you know you've found Stranded in someone else's neighborhood Listening to the undertone Lord! Sure makes it a blessing to know you got your own Time makes you suffer when seasons change Can't call no names when you got your own self to blame Praying to Jesus make me a little stronger So I might live the life a little bit longer So many changes going in and out of my life How can anyone survive When everybody's been made a sacrifice Look all around and see yourself so weak and so vulnerable So you're trying to be strong but your money ain't too long And it's so terrible Don't you know if you want a good life Best look into yourself 'Cause the world is cold and everybody's bold And there's no one else Time makes you suffer when seasons change Can't call no names When you got your own self to blame Strain won't give me no satisfaction Taxes are taking up a new collection So many changes going in and out of my life How can anyone survive When everybody's been made a sacrifice Whon seasons change and we've again surpassed September A lot of scars that kind of scare you to remember Scuf flin' times in seeing people trying to put you down For goodness sakes People trying to take what you know you've found
