    All My Money Back
    Performer(s): The Blues Brothers



    You kiss me and you hug me
    And feild me for a drink
    You took all my money before I can do anything
    You're using me
    I said you're using me
    If you don't do something about that
    I want all my money back

    I bought you a new car
    Buyin' pretty clothes
    I said right now ya
    Don't I know
    You're using me
    You're using me
    If you don't do something about that
    I want all my money back

    You took all my money
    You left me flat broke
    You didn't leave me enough money
    To buy a half a good coat
    You're using me
    If you don't do something about that
    I want all my money back

    Why Can't You Behave?
    Composer(s): Cole Porter
    Performer(s): Dinah Washington;
    and various other artists



    Why can't you behave?
    Oh, why can't you behave?
    After all the things you told me
    And the promises that you gave
    Oh, why can't you behave?

    (Chorus)
    Why, why, why can't you be good?

    (Dinah)
    I was faithful and true but what good will it do

    (Chorus)
    And do, do just as you should?

    (Dinah)
    Yes you had the right touch but I was askin' too much
    Won't you turn that new leaf over
    So your baby can be your slave?
    Oh, why can't you behave?

    There's a farm I know near my old home town
    Where we two can go and try settling down
    There I'll care for you forever
    'Cause you're all in this world I crave
    Oh, why can't you behave?
    Why can't you behave?

    Se per te e' finita
    Perche' mi cerchi
    Che cosa pretendi da me
    E il mio amor non c'e' piu'
    Ma non e' colpa mia
    Sei tu che hai voluto cosi'
    Tutto cio che ti spinge
    A fare la pace
    E' solo l'orgoglio che hai
    Non ti sai rassegnare
    Che io pensi ad un'altra
    Vuoi aver
    Tutto il mondo per te
    Non cercarmi
    No non t'amo piu'
    Oh non cercarmi
    Non pensare a me
    Se per te e' finita
    Perche' mi cerchi
    Che cosa pretendi da me
    Se vorrai se vorrai
    Tu sarai un'amica
    Perche' e' finita con te
    Oh non cercarmi
    No non t'amo piu'

    Chorus:
    Why can't we be friends
    Why can't we be friends
    Why can't we be friends
    Why can't we be friends

    I've seen you 'round for a long long time

    Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney - Daniel Hortis
    Performer(s): Richard Anthony - 1964
    and multiple other artists



    Toi l'ami de nos vingt ans
    Demain tu t'en iras
    Avec un amour à ton bras
    N'oublie pas pour autant les amis d'autrefois
    Souviens-toi de nous parfois
    Entre nous qui restons là
    Souvent nous parlerons de toi
    Et des joies du bon temps
    Tu seras malgré toi près de nous
    Car ton nom chante avec nos souvenirs d'enfants

    Tout s'efface
    Dès que vient l'amour
    La vie passe
    À chacun son tour

    Tu es loin, bien loin déjà, aussi tout est changé
    Nos cœurs sont trop lourds pour chanter
    Il nous semble avec toi perdre un peu de la vie
    Et c'est vrai car nos vingt ans s'enfuient

    Tout s'efface
    Dès que vient l'amour
    La vie passe
    À chacun son tour

    Tout s'efface
    Dès que vient l'amour
    La vie passe
    À chacun son tour

    Why Can't The English?
    Dutch & Spanish Titles:
    Is Hier Nu Niemand; Por Qué No Pueden?
    Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
    Performer(s): Rex Harrison;
    and various other artists



    Harrison:
    Look at her, a victim of the gutters
    Condemned by every syllable she utters
    By right she should be taken out and hung
    For the cold-blooded murder of the English tongue

    (Meow!) Heavens, what a sound!
    This is what the English population
    Calls an elementary education

    Bystander:
    Come sir, I think you've picked a poor example

    Harrison:
    Did I?
    Hear them down in Soho Square
    Dropping "H's" everywhere
    Speaking any way they like
    You sir, did you go to school?

    Bystander:
    Whatta tyke me for, a fool?

    Harrison:
    No one taught him "take" instead of "tyke"
    Hear a Yorkshireman, or worse
    Hear a Cornishman converse
    I'd rather hear a choir singing flat
    Just like this one
    (Garn!)
    I ask you sir, what sort of word is that?

    It's Au and Garn that keep her in her place
    Not her wretched clothes and dirty face
    Why can't the English teach their children how to speak
    This verbal class distinction by now should be antique
    If you spoke sir, instead of the way you do
    Why you might be selling flowers too

    Bystander:
    I beg your pardon

    Harrison:
    An Englishman's way of speaking absolutely classifies him
    The moment he talks he makes some other Englishman despise him
    One common language I'm afraid we'll never get
    Oh why can't the English learn to set a good example
    to people who's English is painful to your ears?

    The Scotch and the Irish leave you close to tears
    There are even places where English completely disappears
    Well, in America they haven't used it for years

    Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
    Norwegians learn Norwegian, the Greeks are taught their Greek
    In France every Frenchman knows his language from A to Zed
    The French don't care what they do, actually
    As long as they pronounce properly
    Arabians learn Arabian with the speed of summer lightning
    And Hebrews learn it backward which is absolutely frighening

    If you use proper English you're regarded as a freak
    Oh why can't the English, why can't the English learn to speak!

    All My Love's Laughter
    Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
    Performer(s): Jimmy Webb
    and multiple other artists



    All my love's laughter
    All my love's faces
    She comes in the morning
    Her cloak in her arms
    She's following after
    The King of all Places
    And your tenderest warnin'
    Could bruise all her charm

    But don't lose your heart
    To that beautiful sinner
    Who walks without shining a light
    She stands in the shade
    And the sun is there in her
    But you'll never know til it's night

    All my love's softness
    All my love's graces
    She carries all things
    In her tiny white glove
    She hides all her lostness
    In satins and laces
    And everyone says
    She's searching for sweet love

    But don't try to hold on
    To Satan's proud lady
    Who stands with her flock
    all alone on the hill
    Her stockings are hung
    And her eyes are so shady
    She's winning, and you never will

    Why Can't It Wait Till Morning?

    Performer(s): Phil Collins;
    Fourplay; Synthesizer Rock Orch.



    We can talk about it then
    'Cause I've had a drink too many
    And my troubles, well I ain't got any
    Why can't it wait 'til daylight?
    Things will seem much clearer then
    I'm tired and my eyes are weary
    And I just want you lying here with me
    So close your eyes
    I'll make it oh, so nice
    Well I don't want to think about what we've said
    And I don't want to know why we hurt ourselves
    'Cause I just want to hold you so close to me
    It'll take care of itself and I want to sleep
    So why can't it wait 'til next time?
    'Cause that time may never come
    Stay here with your arms around me
    You're going nowhere without me
    So close your eyes
    I'll make it oh, so nice for you

    All my love, I give you all my love
    The skies may fall, my love
    But I will still be true

    All my sighs will disappear at last
    Now that you're here at last
    My heart belongs to you

    Oh, don't you ever let me go
    You thrill me so

    I can see, as I recall my life
    I've waited all my life
    To give you all my love
    Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay

    Bow, caballero, and tip your sombrero
    To your senorita, the lovely Chiquita
    She's waiting so long
    For you and your song
    While you are playing, her heart will be swaying
    And she will surrender her kisses so tender
    To you she will cling
    The moment that you sing

    All my love, I give you all my love
    The skies may fall, my love
    But I will still be true

    All my sighs will disappear at last
    Now that you're here at last
    My heart belongs to you

    Oh, don't you ever let me go
    You thrill me so

    I can see, as I recall my life
    I've waited all my life

    A dreamy lips, set in motion, flashing
    Ah breathless hush, poundin’ soft, lasting
    Oh glossy mouth, a taste untamed, moving
    Carousel, up and down
    Just like you

    Oh baby
    Just one more time to touch you
    Just one more time to tell you
    You’re on my mind
    Baby, why can’t I have you?
    You’re breakin’ my heart in two
    You know what I’m goin’ through
    Oh baby, why can’t I have you?

    Oh candy smile, all the while, glinting
    Your eyes like mica, a lethal pout, hinting
    (felt the pressure)
    Oo and I felt the pressure, tight and warm, softly striking
    (oo tripped and stumbled)
    Oo I tripped and stumbled
    I cling forever
    I go all night

    Oh baby
    Just one more time to touch you
    Just one more time to tell you
    I’m not so blind
    Baby, why can’t I have you?
    Always breakin’ my heart in two
    You know what I’m goin’ through
    Uh oh baby, why can’t I have you?

    (baby) oh baby (why can’t I have you? ) why can’t I have you?
    You know what I’m goin’ through
    (you’re breakin’ my heart in two)
    You’re breakin’ my heart, breakin’ my heart
    (you know what I’m gonna do)
    (you’re breakin’ my heart) breakin’ my heart
    (baby) oh baby (why can’t I have you? ) I need you
    (you know what I’m goin’ through)
    You’re breakin’ my heart (you’re breakin’ my heart in two)

    Well well well
    I thought I heard it raining
    All my love trouble in my mind
    Lay awake all night
    Till the morning light came shining through the blind

    Well well well
    How long did money hold you
    If all my love can't keep you by my side
    Everything you need lying at your feet
    And you won't be satisfied

    Big bell ring
    Somebody gotta go now
    Rolling slow drivers dressed in black
    As they passin' through start to think of you
    And all my love comes back

    All my love
    Gone but not forgotten
    Hate you now when I think of what you've done
    I can't fool myself using someone else
    You're the only one

    Why Can't He Be You
    Composer(s): Hank Cochran

    Norah Jones; Loretta Lynn; Reba McEntire



    He takes me to the places you and I used to go
    He tells me over and over that he loves me so
    He gives me love that I never got from you
    He loves me too, his love is true
    Why can't he be you

    He never fails to call and tell me I'm on his mind
    And I'm lucky to have such a guy; I hear it all the time
    And he does all the things that you would never do
    He loves me, too, his love is true
    Why can't he be you

    He's not the one who dominates my mind and soul
    And I should love him so, 'cause he loves me, I know
    But his kisses leave me cold

    He sends me flowers, calls on the hour, just to prove his love
    And my friends say when he's around, I'm all he speaks of
    And he does all the things that you would never do
    He loves me too, his love is true
    Why can't he be you

    (MR)
    You’d like to say I do
    I’d like to say it, too
    Nature is hard to deny
    Even old maids find a burglar
    Well, why can’t I?

    (DD)
    Should girls be good girls? – I think they should
    (MR)
    Well then, I, I need a good man to make me be good
    Ho, ho, ho
    (DD)
    Two feet are ever cold
    (MR)
    Four feet are never cold…
    …Well, I only mean to imply
    (DD)
    Everybody has someone
    (Both)
    Everybody has someone

    (MR) Romeo had Juliet
    (DD) Hero had Leander
    (MR) Every heffer has her bull
    (DD) And every goose her gander
    (MR) Every stallion has his flea
    (DD) And every nanny goat has her belee
    (MR) Ducks have drakes
    (DD) And lambs have ewes
    (Both) All the best things come in twos
    Everybody has someone
    Why can’t I?

    Truck Drivin' Son-Of-A-Gun
    Composer(s): Dixie Dean - Robert A. King
    First recording/First release by: Dave Dudley - 1965
    Covered by multiple other artists



    I got a cute little gal in ev'ry eastern town from Boston to St Lou
    There's some that I don't even know but I'm a lookin' forward to
    'Cause I like my women everwhere I go
    So roll on big wheels don't you roll so slow

    Peggy Ann is a waitin' in Memphis and Betty Lou in Maine
    I got a good ole gal in Knoxville but man I forgot her name
    But not her figure I remember that
    Yeah I'm a kiss stealin' a wheelin' deelin' a truck drivin' son of a gun

    Well there goes Joe flyin' low pickin' up his time
    But where I sit I don't believe you'd say I'm wastin' mine
    I'm movin' faster than a Jimmy-8
    If you think I'm losin' time you're runnin' late

    I got a steady little baby waitin' back home for me
    But there are six more towns to go till I'm back in Tennessee
    And six more women at least I know
    Yeah I'm a kiss stealin' a wheelin' deelin' a truck drivin' son of a gun

    Why Build A Wall 'Round A Graveyard?
    Composer(s): Leslie Sarony
    Performer(s): Leslie Sarony;
    and various other artists



    Here's a contortionist, Filleted Pete
    Tried only too well to make both his ends meet

    Charlie the taximan lies over there
    Wherever he's gone to, he'll say it's "No Fare"

    Here lies a heavyweight under the ground
    With a circular saw only lasted one round

    Here lies a butcher named Timothy Wights
    A nice piece of skirt quickly put out his lights

    R - I - P, that's another good feller gone west
    R - I - P, with a blinkin' great slab on his chest

    So......

    Why build a wall 'round a graveyard
    When nobody wants to get in?
    Why build a wall round a graveyard
    When nobody wants to get out?
    They say its a beautiful haven of rest
    But you know that you'll be a permanent guest
    So, why build a wall round a graveyard
    When nobody wants to get in?

    Why build a wall round a graveyard
    When no body wants to get in?
    Why build a wall round a graveyard
    When no body wants to get out?
    "You're not dead but sleeping", they put it with care
    But no body calls you at nini o'clock there
    So, why build a wall round a graveyard
    When no body wants to get out?

    Vietnam Blues
    Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson
    Performer(s): Dave Dudley; Autry Inman; Robert Pete Williams



    I was out on the leave at the time just duckin' the fog nosin' around like a hungry dog
    In that crazy place called Washington DC
    I saw a crowd of people on the White House lawn all carrying signes about VietNam
    So I went over to see what was goin' on
    It was a strange looking bunch but then I never could understand some people
    Oh a fellow came to me with a list in his hand he said we're gatherin' names to send
    The telegram of sympathy then he handed me a pen
    I said I reckon this is goin' to kids and wives
    My friends over there who're givin' their lives
    He said ah ah buddy this is goin' to Ho-Chi-Min
    I said Ho-Chi who he said Ho-Chi-Min people's leader North VietNam
    Oh I wasn't really sure I was hearin' him right
    I though I'd better move before I got in a fight
    Cause my ears were hurtin' and my ball started hit my lick
    Then I thought of another telegram that I've just read
    Tellin' my buddy's wife that her husband was dead
    It wasn't too long till I was feelin' downright sick
    Another held the sign that said we won't fight
    I thought to myself boy ain't that right
    To leave a lot of our soldiers die instead
    I said it's a shame that every man who ever died up there that far off land
    Was dyin' for that you wouldn't have to wake up dead
    Course he looked at me like I was kinda crazy just another warmonger
    Oh I left that place and I went downtown and hit first bar that I'd found
    To cool myself off and pacify my brain
    You see I was on orders to VietNam little old place just north to Saigon
    Had about an hour to catch myself a plane
    So all I mean to say is I don't like dyin' either but man I ain't gonna craw

    Why Baby Why
    Composer(s): Darrell Edwards; George Jones; Leon Payne
    Originally performed by: George Jones
    Covered by various other artists



    Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
    You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry
    I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
    But tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why
    Well I got a crow I wanna pick with you
    Just like last time when the feathers flew
    You're runnin' wild a-kickin' up your heels
    A-leavin' me home with a hand full of bills
    I can't live without you and you know it's true
    But there's no livin' with you, so what'll I do
    I'm goin' honky tonkin', get as tight as I can
    And maybe by then you'll 'preciate a good man
    Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
    You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry
    No, I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
    So tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
    Well, now I don't know, but I've heard say
    That ev'ry little dog is a-gonna have his day
    You'd better pay attention, don't you dare forget
    'Cause I'm just a little bitty puppy yet
    Well, I caught you honky tonkin' with my best friend
    The thing to do was leave you, but I should'a left then
    Now I'm too old to leave you, but I still get sore
    When you come home a-feelin' for the knob on the door
    Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
    You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry
    Lord, I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
    So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why
    Tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why
