Keep Away From The Fellow Who Owns An Automobile Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Ada Jones
There's a certain flirtin' man with money in the bank The man I mean owns a machine, the kind you have to crank His great delight is to invite a girlie for a whirl In his machine and I just mean to kind o' warn each girl
Keep away from the fellow who owns an automobile He'll take you far in his motor car Too darn far from your Pa and Ma If his forty horsepower goes sixty miles an hour say Goodbye forever, goodbye forever There's no chance to talk, squawk or balk You must kiss him or get out and walk Keep away from the fellow who owns an automobile
Mary White went out one night in Harry's new machine They rode quite far when Harry's car ran out of gasoline The hour was late and sad to state no gas could Harry get The latest word I overheard is that they're walking yet
Keep away from the fellow who owns an automobile He'll take you far in his motor car Too darn far from your Pa and Ma If his forty horsepower goes sixty miles an hour say Goodbye forever, goodbye forever There's no chance to talk, squawk or balk You must kiss him or get out and walk Keep away from the fellow who owns an automobile
When The Heartache Is Over Composer(s): John Reid; Graham Stack Performer(s): Tina Turner; Vonda Shepard
Once in a lifetime you find Someone to show you the way Someone to make your decisions And I let you lead me astray
Who did you think you were fooling Said you were missing me blind But the truth is I knew you were lying You were using me time after time
chorus When the heartache is over I know I won't be missing you Won't look over my shoulder 'Cause I know that I can live without you
Time to move on with my life now Leaving the past all behind I can make my own decisions It was only a matter of time Sometimes I look back in anger Thinking about all the pain But I know that I'm stronger without you And that I'll never need you again
chorus
When the heartache is over I know I won't be missing you Won't look over my shoulder 'Cause I know that I can live without you
chorus repeat
When the heartache is over I know I won't be missing you Won't look over my shoulder 'Cause I know that I can live without you When the heartache is over I know I won't be missing you Won't look over my shoulder 'Cause I know that I can live without you Yeah I can live without you Oh I can live without you
Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing Composer(s): Nickolas Ashford - Valerie Simpson First release by: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - August 1968 Covered by multiple other artists
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby Ain't nothing like the real thing Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby Ain't nothing like the real thing
I got your picture hangin' on the wall It can't see or come to me when I call your name I realize it's just a picture in a frame
I read your letters when you're not near But they don't move me And they don't groove me like when I hear Your sweet voice whispering in my ear
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby Ain't nothing like the real thing
I play my games, a fantasy I pretend I'm not in reality I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me
No other sound is quite the same as your name No touch can do half as much to make me feel better So let's stay together
I've got some memories to look back on And though they help me when you phone I'm well aware nothing can take the place of you're being there
So glad we got the real thing So glad we got the real thing Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby Ain't nothing like the real thing Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby Say it loud like you're proud Ain't nothing like the real thing

Ain't Nothing 'Bout You Composer(s): Rivers Rutherford - Tom Shapiro Performer(s): Brooks & Dunn
Once I thought that love was something I could never do Never knew that I could feel this much But this yearning in the deep part of my heart for you Is more than a reaction to your touch It's a perfect passion and I can't get enough
The way you look, the way you laugh The way you love with all you have There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me The way you kiss The way you cry The way you move when you walk by There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you) That don't do something for me
In my life I've been hammered by some heavy blows That never knocked me off my feet All you gotta do is smile at me and down I go And baby it's no mystery why I surrender Girl you got everything
The way you look, the way you laugh The way you love with all you have There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me The way you kiss The way you cry The way you move when you walk by There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you) That don't do something for me
I love your attitude, your rose tattoo, your every thought Your smile, you lips and girl the list goes on and on and on
The way you look, the way you laugh The way you love with all you have There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me The way you kiss The way you cry The way you move when you walk by There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you) That don't do something for me
The way you look, the way you laugh The way you love with all you have Your dance, your drive You make me feel alive
The way you talk, the way you tease Right now I think you see There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me

When The Cactus Is In Bloom Composer(s): Jimmie Rodgers Performer(s): Jimmie Rodgers; and various other artists
The cattle prowled and the coyotes howled out on the Great Divide I never done no wrong, just singing a song as down the trail I ride Rattle snakes rattle at the prairie dogs you hear that mournful tune It's roundup time away out West When the cactus is in bloom Daylight comes and the cowhand yell they call out ev'ry man I throw my saddle on my old cowhorse and drink my coffee from a can The sun goes down on the cattle trail and I'm gazing at the moon It's roundup time away out West When the cactus is in bloom We don't have cold weather it never snows or rains That is where the sunshine's best out on the western plains Some of the boys have gone away but they will be back soon It's roundup time away out West When the cactus is in bloom Daylight comes and the cowhand yell they call out ev'ry man I throw my saddle on my old cowhorse and drink my coffee from a can The sun goes down on the cattle trail and I'm gazing at the moon It's roundup time away out West When the cactus is in bloom

When The Bees Make Honey Down In Sunny Alabam' Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis; Joe Young; Walter Donaldson
I just feel like telling the world I'm happy and gay I just feel like telling you why I'm feeling that way This is just the time of the year when bees start to buzz And I've got a bee in my bonnet, simply because
I will be the busiest bee that you ever knew Sipping honey all thro' the day that's just what I'll do When the bees are buzzin' away near some Rosemary How I love to bumble around just take it from me
When the bees make honey down in sunny Alabam' That's when I said, I'd be sending a telegram Down to honey suckled home Where my folks live all alone They're like a pair of honey bees In a honey comb I'm gonna make a beeline straight for home That's where I am And I've a plan to buzz around with my honey lamb Some Sunday afternoon If I don't get stung, there'll be a honey moon When the bees make honey, down in sunny Oh! you Alabam'

When The Angelus Is Ringing Composer(s): Joe Young; Bert Grant
Love time, love time can't you understand when it is love time Birds sing bells ring, love just seems to ring with every chime Ding dong dong ding, loves messages they bring
Two hearts true hearts all the world is full of loving sweet hearts I'll bring the ring, to the pealing of each silvry chime Ding dong dong ding, all nature seems in rhyme
When the angelus is ringing in the belfry on the hill And the whirpoolwill is singing in the night, when all is still I am waiting for the time when I can come to you and sing loves sweet song While the silvry bells peal out their dong ding dong Down the road of love we'll wander 'mid the violets perfume to the little cottage yonder where we'll spend our honeymoon And as we go through life from year to year Cares and worries disappear, when the angelus is ringing, dear
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

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

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
