Ain't We Got Fun?
Composer(s): Richard A. Whiting - Gus Kahn - Ray Egan
Performer(s): Van & Schenck
and multiple other artists



Bill collectors gather 'round and rather
Haunt the cottage next door
Men the grocer and butcher sent
Men who call for the rent
But within a happy chappy
And his bride of only a year
Seem to be so cheerful, here's an earful
Of the chatter you hear

Ev'ry morning, ev'ry evening
Ain't we got fun?
Not much money 
Oh, but honey
Ain't we got fun?
The rent's unpaid dear
We haven't a bus
But smiles were made dear
For people like us

In the winter in the Summer
Don't we have fun
Times are bum and getting bummer
Still we have fun
There's nothing surer
The rich get rich and the poor get children
In the meantime, in between time
Ain't we got fun?

Just to make their trouble nearly double
Something happened last night
To their chimney a gray bird came
Mister Stork is his name
And I'll bet two pins, a pair of twins
Just happened in with the bird
Still they're very gay and merry
Just at dawning I heard

Ev'ry morning, ev'ry evening
Don't we have fun
Twins and cares, dear, come in pairs, dear
Don't we have fun
We've only started
As mommer and pop
Are we downhearted
I'll say that we're not

Landlords mad and getting madder
Ain't we got fun?
Times are so bad and getting badder
Still we have fun
There's nothing surer
The rich get rich and the poor get laid off
In the meantime, in between time
Ain't we got fun?

When the man who sold 'em carpets told 'em
He would take them away
They said, "Wonderful, here's our chance
Take them up and we'll dance"
And when burglars came and robbed them
Taking all their silver, they say
Hubby yelled, "We're famous, for they'll name us
In the pepers today

Night or daytime, it's all playtime
Ain't we got fun?
Hot or cold days, any old days
Ain't we got fun
If Wifey wishes
To go to a play
Don't wash the dishes
Just throw them away

Streetcar seats are awful narrow
Ain't we got fun?
They won't smash up our Pierce Arrow
We ain't got none
They've cut my wages
But my income tax will be so much smaller
When I'm laid off, I'll be paid off
Ain't we got fun?

When The World Has Turned You Down 
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



Chorus:
When The World Has Turned You Down Dear I'll be waiting
When your friends can’t be found I’ll be there
When your heart is sad and lonely and no longer wants to roam
When you have no place to go please come on home!

It’s been many years ago dear since we parted
And not one word have I heard from you
I'm so all alone and broken hearted
And I wonder if you miss me too

Darling I just don’t know why you left me
But I do know my heart is broken in two
And if someday you should decide you want me
You’ll always find me waiting here for you

My Darling if I failed you then I’m sorry
For I didn’t mean to treat you wrong
And if you should need me some sad tomorrow
You’ll always find me waiting here at home

Chorus:
When The World Has Turned You Down Dear I'll be waiting
When your friends can’t be found I’ll be there
When your heart is sad and lonely and no longer wants to roam
When you have no place to go please come on home!

It’s been many years ago since we parted
And not one word have I heard from you
And I wonder if you miss me too

Ain't We Crazy
Composer(s): Harry McClintock - Asa Martin
Performer(s): Harry McClintock
and multiple other artists



Now, I know a little ditty, it's as crazy as can be
The guy who wrote it said he wanted it, and handed it to me
I found I couldn't use it, because it sounded blue
And that's the very reason why I'm handing it to you

It's a song the alligators sing, while coming through the rye
As they serenade the elephants, up in the trees so high
The iceman hums this ditty, as he shovels in the coal
And the monkeys join the chorus, up around the northern pole

Ain't we crazy, ain't we crazy
This is the way we pass the time away
Ain't we crazy, ain't we crazy
We're going to sing this song all night today

It was midnight on the ocean, not a streetcar was in sight
And the sun was shining brightly, for it rained all day that night
'Twas a summer night in winter, and the rain was snowing fast
And a barefoot boy with shoes on stood a-sitting in the grass

It was evening, and the rising sun was setting in the west
The little fishes in the trees were huddled in their nests
The rain was pouring down and the moon was shining bright
And everything that you could see was hidden out of sight

While the organ peeled potatoes, lard was rendered by the choir
The sexton rung the dishrag, someone set the church on fire
"Holy smoke!" The preacher shouted, in the rain he lost his hair
Now his head resembles heaven, for there is no parting there

The cows were making cowslips, and the bells were ringing wet
And the bumblebees were making bums, and smoking cigarettes
And a man slept in a stable, and came out a little hoarse
So he hopped upon his golf sticks, and drove all around the course

Ain't we crazy, ain't we crazy
This is the way we pass the time away
Ain't we crazy, ain't we crazy
We're goin' to sing this song all night today

It was midnight on the ocean, not a horsecar was in sight
As I stepped into the drugstore, to get myself a light
The man behind the counter, was a woman old and gray
Who used to peddle shoestrings, on the road to Mandalay.

"Good evening, sir," the woman said, and her eyes were bright with tears
As she put her head beneath her feet, and stood that way for years
Her children, six, were orphans, except one tiny tot
Who lived in a house across the street above a vacant lot

Ain't we crazy, ain't we crazy
But this is the way we pass the time away
Ain't we crazy, ain't we crazy
We're going to sing this song all night today

When The World Falls Down
Composer(s): S. Morris; Mick Ronson
Performer(s): Mick Ronson



Practical Peter was doing very well
Life couldn't be sweeter, not as far as he could tell
But then came a lightning bolt out of the blue
sent him straight to hell..... 

That's when the world falls down, right on your head, oh yeah 
When the world falls down and it's really very sad

Riches or ruins 
It's really all the same
You better watch what you're doing 
It could all go down the drain
And just when you think your ship has come in
- watch out - here comes a wave

That's when the world falls down, right on your head, oh yeah 
When the world falls down and it's really very sad

ooooooohhhhhhhh 

Sally was singing, as she stepped out of the car
Church bells were ringing and the vicar knew his part
But right then the bridegroom decided he'd had a change of heart

That's when the world falls down, right on your head, oh yeah 
When the world falls down and it's really very sad
World falls down, falls down, oh yeah 
That's when the world falls down and it's really very sad.......

Ain't Wastin' Time No More
Composer(s): Gregg Allman
Performer(s): The Allman Brothers Band; Wet Willie; Zoo People



Last Sunday morning, the sunshine felt like rain
Week before, they all seemed the same
With the help of God and true friends, I come to realize
I still had two strong legs, and even wings to fly

And oh I, ain't wastin' time no more
'Cause time goes by like hurricanes, and faster things

Lord, lord Miss Sally, why all your cryin'?
Been around here three long days, you're lookin' like you're dyin'
Just step yourself outside, and look up at the stars above
Go on downtown baby, find somebody to love

Meanwhile I ain't wastin' time no more
'Cause time goes by like pouring rain, and much faster things

You don't need no gypsy to tell you why
You can't let one precious day slip by
Look inside yourself, and if you don't see what you want
Maybe sometimes then you don't
But leave your mind alone and just get high

Well by and by, way after many years have gone
And all the war freaks die off, leavin' us alone
We'll raise our children in the peaceful way we can
It's up to you and me brother
To try and try again

Well, hear us now, we ain't wastin' time no more
'Cause time goes by like hurricanes
Runnin' after subway trains
Don't forget the pouring rain

When The Wind Blows In Chicago
Composer(s): Scott Turner; Audie Murphy
Performer(s): Roy Clark; - 1964
Bobby Bare; Eddy Arnold



Well, here I am in Chicago
All alone, near the place where we met
And as I walk through the rain, the wind whispers your name
Oh, why won't it let me forget

'Cause when the wind blows I get lonely
And one thing for sure you will find
That the wind always blows in Chicago
So I'm lonely most all of the time

Well, folks look so happy here on State Street
They don't know that our love's not the same
I'm alone in the crowd with my hopes in the clouds
'Cause the wind just whispers your name

And when the wind blows I get lonely
And one thing for sure you will find
That the wind always blows in Chicago
Oh, so I'm lonely most all of the time

Well, I'm saying goodbye to Chicago
I'm gonna catch a lonely old train
And I hope that it goes where the wind doesn't blow
Or at least it won't whisper your name

'Cause when the wind blows I get lonely
And one thing for sure you will find
That the wind always blows in Chicago
So I'm lonely most all of the time

Ain't Too Proud To Beg
Composer(s): Norman Whitfield - Eddie Holland
First release by: The Temptations - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



I know you wanna leave me 
But I refuse to let you go 
If I have to beg, plead for your sympathy 
I don't mind 'cause you mean that much to me 

Ain't too proud to beg, and you know it (sweet darlin') 
Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go) 
Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby 
Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go) 

Now I heard a cryin' man is half a man 
With no sense of pride 
But if I have to cry to keep you, I don't mind weepin' 
If it'll keep you by my side 

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darlin' 
Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go) 
Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby 
Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go) 

If I have to sleep on your doorstep all night and day 
Just to keep you from walking away 
Let your friends laugh, even this I can stand 
'Cause I wanna keep you anyway I can 

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darlin' 
Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go) 
Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby 
Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go) 

Now I've got a love so deep in the pit of my heart 
And each day it grows more and more 
I'm not ashamed to come and plead to you baby 
If pleadin' keeps you from walkin' out that door 

Ain't too proud to beg, yes you know it (sweet darlin') 
Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go) 
Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby 
Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go) 
Baby, baby, baby (sweet darlin') 
Please don't leave me, girl 

When The Twilight Comes To Kiss The Rose "Good-Night"
Composer(s): Robert F. Roden; Henry W. Petrie



Near a rose bush down in Dixie I am dreaming 
the leaves of time I'm turning over and over 
and I see you once again with fond eyes gleaming 
while the nightingale sings love's sweet song 
Lenore, my lost Lenore 
The twilight comes to kiss the rose "Good-Night!" dear 
as in the golden days of "Auld Lang Syne" 
and it seems to me I see love's tender light, dear 
in the Southern eyes that once were mine, all mine!

Tho' the garden is deserted now, my dearie 
the rose bush blooms as in the days of yore 
tho' to me the wide, wide world seems mighty dreary 
my fond heart still holds the old love
sweet Lenore, my lost Lenore 
I wonder if the love that was denied me 
still guides your footsteps thro' the world a right 
or if sometimes, dear, you long to be beside me 
when the twilight comes to kiss the rose "Goodnight!"

When the twilight comes to kiss the rose "Goodnight!" 
and the stars, like jewels, gleam with silvry light 
I can see the love light shine 
once again you're mine all mine 
when the twilight comes to kiss the rose "Goodnight!"

Ain't Too Good 
Composer(s): Rory Gallagher
Performer(s): Rory Gallagher



Well, it ain't too good
The way you treat your man
It's less than good
It sure ain't kind 
It's your mistake 
You'll see in time
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
Well, it's been so long
Since I felt that glow 
The flame was bright
But it's burning low 
I should be gone
But I'm slow to go
Serves me right, serves me..... 

It doesn't seem clear
What happens from here and now
You've called the tune, but maybe soon
Someone must pay for the piper

Well, it ain't too late
To change your mind
For it's time you knew
Just where I stand
Well, let me know 
'Cause I got plans
From now on, from now on, from now on

When The Turkey In The Straw Danced The Chicken Reel
Composer(s): J. Will Callahan; F. Henri Klickmann



In a barnyard far away
All the fowls assembled on a summer day
Just to give a barnyard dance
Tried to put the farmers in a barnyard trance
All the rubes for miles around
Came to see them shuffle there upon the ground

Old Si Jones in overalls
Always won the ribbon at the barnyard balls
Came that day with Aunt Suzanne
Frisky as a bullfrog in a fryin' pan
Said, "By Gosh, just turn me loose" 
Crack'd his heels together yellin' 
"Come on, Suze"

All the old hens cackled and the young ducks quacked
And the rooster all began to crow
The little chickens stood there in a row
"Keep your feet a-movin'," you could hear the farmers yell
And the old cow hid behind the old hay stack
But the pigs just grunted kind o' low
As they stood there lookin' at the show
When the turkey in the straw danced the chicken reel

Ain't There Anyone Here For Love?
Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael - Harold Adamson
Performer(s): Jane Russell; Klea Blackhurst



I can't play tennis
My golf's a menace
I just can't do the Australian crawl
And I'm no better at volleyball
Ain't there anyone here for love, sweet love
Ain't there anyone here for love?

I'm apathetic
and non-athletic
Can't keep up in a marathon
I need some shoulder to lean upon
And a couple of arms to hold me
Ain't there anyone here for love?

I'm not in condition to wrestle
I've never trained in a gym
Show me a man who can nestle
And I'll pin a medal on him

I need some chappy
To make me happy
And he don't need to be Hercules
Don't anyone know about birds and bees
Ain't there anyone here for love, sweet love
Ain't there anyone here for love?

When The Thought Of You Catches Up With Me
Composer(s): David Ball
Performer(s): David Ball



It can happen any moment
Without reason or rhyme
It might be right around the corner
Or it'll come up from behind
A picture that I thought would fade
That I still clearly see
When the thought of you catches up with me

It can happen on a Sunday drive
The sky above a shade of blue
Headin' down some lonesome highway
Then you come into view
Mile after mile goes by
But you're all I see
When the thought of you catches up with me

When the thought of you comes to mind
It'll carry me away to a better place in time

It can happen in the dead of night
Or any day of the week
Sometimes you'll come find me
When I'm in bed asleep
And I'll have that dream about you
And I sure love what I see
When the thought of you catches up with me

When the thought of you catches up with me

When the thought of you catches up with me

I want your lovin' and I need it bad
Here's the baddest little woman that I ever had
I just can't help it you've got to be mine
When she comes along, come rain or shine

Sold your love and I took my stand
A long time baby just can't be wrong

Ain't that the way love's supposed to be
Love for you and me
Ain't that the way love's supposed to be, hey yeah

You got to know just how I feel

Love for you and me
Ain't that the way love's supposed to be
Love's supposed to be, yeah
Ain't that the way love's supposed to be
Ain't that the way love's supposed to be
For you and me
Love's supposed to be
Ain't that the way love's supposed to be

When the swallows come back to Capistrano
That's the day you promised to come back to me
When you whispered, "Farewell", in Capistrano

The happiness you'll bring
Will live in my memory

All the mission bells will ring
The chapel choir will sing
The happiness you'll bring
Will live in my memory
When the swallows come back to Capistrano
That's the day I pray that you'll come back to me

When The Sun Goes Down In Romany
(My Heart Goes Roaming Back To You)
Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis; Joe Young; Bert Grant



Dearie, dearie
Far across the deep blue sea
Dearie, dearie
Do you ever think of me? 
When the Autumn leaves are turning 
My thoughts turn to home
Is there still a love light burning
Far across the foam? 
Dearie, dearie
Tell me, are we both alone?

Lonely, lonely 
Think how lonely I must be
Lonely, lonely
No one seems to pity me
I can see the corn a swaying 
In the candle light
Staying where I left you praying
"Lead his footsteps right" 
Lonely, lonely, say a pray'r for me tonight

When the sun goes down in Romany
My heart goes roaming back to you
Through the dells the chapel bells are calling
There's a grief for every leaf that's falling 
Like a tipsy gypsy I just wandered
Far from all the loved ones that I knew
But dearie
When the sun goes down in Romany
My heart goes roaming back to you

Ain't That Peculiar
Composer(s): Smokey Robinson - Marvin Tarplin - Robert Rogers - Warren Moore
First release by: Marvin Gaye - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



Honey you do me wrong but still i'm crazy about you
Stay away too long and i can't do without you
Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more
But each hurt makes my love stronger than before
I know flowers go through rain 
But how can love go through pain

Ain't that peculiar
A peculiar ality
Ain't that peculiar baby
Peculiar as can be

You tell me lies that should be obvious to me
I've been so much in love with you baby til i don't wanna see
That things you do and say are designed to make me blue
It's a dog gone shame my love for you makes all
Your lies seem true
But if the truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make my love stronger

Ain't that peculiar
A peculiar ality
Ain't that peculiar baby
Peculiar as can be

I cried so much just like a child thats lost its home
Maybe baby you think these tears i cry are tears of joy
A child can cry so much until you do everything they say
But unlike a child my tears don't help me to get my way
I know love can last through years
But how can love last through tears

Ain't that peculiar
A peculiar ality
Ain't that peculiar baby
Peculiar as can be

When The Sun Comes Out
Composer(s): Harold Arlen; Ted Koehler
First release by: Jimmy Dorsey & His Orch.
Covered by multiple other artists



When the sun comes out
And that rain stops beatin' on my windowpane
When the sun comes out
There'll be bluebirds 'round my door
Singin' like they did before
That old storm broke out
And my man walked off and left me in the rain
Though he's gone, I doubt
If he'll stay away for good
I'd stop living if he should
Love is funny
It's not always peaches, cream and honey
Just when everything looked bright and sunny
Suddenly the cyclone came
I'll never be the same
Till that sun comes out
And that rain stops beatin' on my windowpane
If my heart holds out
Let it rain and let it pour
It may not be long before
There's a knockin' at my door
Then you'll know the one I love walked in
When the sun comes out

I could ride around the world in an old ox-cart
And never let another girl thrill my heart

Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?

I could meet a hundred girls and have loads of fun
My huggin' and my kissin' belong to just one

Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?

If you gave me nine lives like a alley cat
I'd give 'em all to you and never take one back

Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?

I'm putting on my Sunday suit and I'm goin' downtown
But I'll be kissin' your lips before the sun goes down

Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?

Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?

Performer(s): Ed Ames
and various other artists



Now the golden sun can see us kiss
Every summer day we'll love like this

When the snow is on the roses
When the bluebird's flown away
In my arms we'll both remember
All the love we shared today

As we walk along the silvery shore
Vows we make will last forever more

When the snow is on the roses
When the summer stars are gone
One more summer will be over
But our love will still go on

When the snow is on the roses
When the bluebird's flown away
In my arms we'll both remember
All the love we shared today
All the love we shared today
