All Of The Monkeys Ain't In The Zoo
Composer(s): Tommy Collins
Performer(s): Tommy Collins; Blue Grass Boys; Johnny Duncan



Now, I've got a cousin on my daddy's side
He was a single boy and doin' fine
Until he met a widder who took him for a ride
He's a hubby now, besides the toll of nine

All of the monkeys ain't in the zoo
There's some runnin' loose around me and you
Just watch when you're in a crowd and you'll agree too
That all of the monkeys ain't in the zoo

Oh, the women on a budget always tickle me
They're as tight as ticks and worry all the time
And then a travelling salesman sweeps 'em off their feet
They give a dollar for a brush that's worth a dime

All of the monkeys ain't in the zoo
There's some runnin' loose around me and you
Just watch when you're in a crowd and you'll agree too
That all of the monkeys ain't in the zoo

Now, there's some awful smart men that run the USA
They head the list of some of our great men
And then there's some others who had a big shot brother
They weren't elected, they were just put in

All of the monkeys ain't in the zoo
There's some tellin' us what we can do
Just watch when you're in a crowd and you'll agree too
That all of the monkeys ain't in the zoo

I used to tell my girl when she'd get marryin' on her mind
That she'd never make a monkey out of me
But I was just a country kid and I didn't know the game
And I guess you know what happened to me

All of the monkeys ain't in the zoo
There's some runnin' loose around me and you
Just watch when you're in a crowd and you'll agree too
That all of the monkeys ain't in the zoo

Why Me?
Composer(s): Irene Cara; Keith Forsey; Giorgio Moroder
Performer(s): Irene Cara



Life felt so right
I was drowned in your light
With the world so in tune
`Til you made me out for a fool

Left with nothing to do
Can't forget about you
With my heart in my heart
Pack my bags, leave my memories with you

You gave me nothing but misery
I found so much more
You used me oh so helplessly
I don't want your sympathy

Why me?
Why me?
Why me when I was the one who could set your heart free?

Why me?
Why me?
Why me?
You took all the love I gave up selfishly
Why me?

Trapped in your space
Never thought I could face
Going one step beyond
When I knew deep inside I was strong

Now I know what it takes
Can't repeat the mistakes
When new love comes along
It'll give me what I'll call my own

You gave me nothing but misery
I found so much more
You used me oh so helplessly
I don't want your sympathy

Why me?
Why me?
Why me when I was the one who could set your heart free?

All Of The Good Ones Are Taken
Composer(s): Ian Hunter
Performer(s): Ian Hunter



Girl-things ain’t been goin’ too good for me
Girl-I’m living in the middle of a mystery
You’re the only one that can turn me on

’n’ now that you’re gone I said
Girl-I’m livin’ in the middle of your memory
Girl-you’re still the figure in my favorite fantasy

I know you know
That’s the way it goes
And still my love grows-i said

All o’ the good, all o’ the good ones are taken
All o’ the good, all o’ the good ones are taken

I’m hangin’ around with my head in the air
Watchin’ the lovers go by
I had a lover-but she never cared
All you could say was goodbye

Maybe I was mistaken
Maybe I got it wrong

But all of the good ones are taken from now on
’n’ girl-I’m livin’ in the middle of a broken dream
I said girl-all this fallin’ in love ain’t like it seems

Out in the rain-can’t you feel my pain
Again ’n’ again ’n’ again ’n’ again ’n’ again

All of the good, all o’ the good ones are taken
Maybe I was mistaken-maybe I got it wrong
But all of the good ones are taken in my song

Why Me Lord? 
Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson
Performer(s): Kris Kristofferson



Why me lord?
what have I ever done
to deserve even one
of the pleasures I've known
tell me lord
what did I ever do
that was worth lovin' you
for the kindness you've shown

chorus:
lord help me Jesus
I've wasted it so help me Jesus
I know what I am
but now that I know
that I needed you so help me Jesus
my soul's in your hand

try me lord
if you think there's a way
I can try to repay
all I've takin' from you
maybe lord
I can show someone else
what I've been through myself
on my way back to you

chorus (x2)

Jesus, my soul in your hands

All Of My Memories
Composer(s): John Denver
Performer(s): John Denver



All of my memories lay in the life of the highway
All of my nights in old motels a sleepin' alone
All of my days on the road with no one beside me
All of my dreams of a place that I can call home

Somewhere in the shade near the sound of a sweet singin' river
Somewhere in the sun where the mountains make love to the sky
Somewhere to build me a faith, a farm and a family
Somewhere to grow older, and somewhere a reason to try

'cause I'm tired of big cities and so tired of big city ways
Scrathin' off sunset, and walkin' around in the maze
Some sweet taxi dancer tryin' to save me from bein' alone
Ah it's much worse than lonely there is no place that I really belong
I want to be home

I'm leavin' this city life in my mind I'm flyin' away
I'm leavin' tomorrow and all of the old yesterdays
I'm leavin' the trash cans the bright lights of telephone lines
I'm leavin' my sorrows of all of my memories behind
I'll see what I find

Somewhere in the shade near the sound of a sweet singin' river
Somewhere in the sun where the mountains make love to the sky
Somewhere to build me a faith, a farm, a family
Somewhere to grow older, and somewhere a reason to try
Somewhere to grow older, somewhere to laydown and die

Why Me?
Composer(s): Johnny Logan
First performance by: Linda Martin - 1992



Sometimes I watch you passing by my window
Sometimes I watch you passing through my dreams
And sometimes when I look at you
You take my breath away

Sometimes I try and understand your reasons
You choose to feel the way you feel about me
And sometimes when I turn around
And you're there like today
Boy/Girl, I wanna say

Why me
I look at you and I get this feeling
Why me
I know it's true but I can't believe it
I keep on wondering why
I'm such a lucky guy/girl
Why me
I look at you and I ask myself
Why me

Why me
I have to ask myself
Why me

Sometimes I lie awake just to watch you sleeping
To listen to the beating of your heart
and sometimes as you're lying there
You take my breath away
I wanna wake you and say
Why me
I look at you and I get this feeling
Why me
I know it's true but I can't believe
That it's me
Who's gonna be holding you in his arms tonight
And that it's me
Who's gonna be the one to make you feel all right,
tonight

Why me
I look at you and I get this feeling
Why me
I know it's true but I can't believe it
I keep on wondering why
I'm such a lucky guy/girl
Why me

I look at you and I ask myself
Why me

I look at you and I ask myself
Why me

I look at you to my surprise
Why me

I see that love in your eyes
Why me
Why me

All Of My Life
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Sammy Kaye
and multiple other artists



Someone was always in my dreams
That someone was always you
I never thought we'd meet some day
But now that my dream came true

I just want the right to love you all of my life
Just the right to take care of you all of my life
I just want the right to be near you
Always to be there, sharing ev'ry care and strife

Life can be as simple as a nursery rhyme
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday all of the time
Long as I may live, I just want the right to give
All my love with all my heart for all of my life

I just want the right to love you all of my life
Just the right to take care of you all of my life
I just want the right to be near you
Always to be there, sharing ev'ry care and strife

Why Haven't I Heard From You
Composer(s): Sandy Knox; T.W. Hale
Performer(s): Reba McEntire; 
and various other artists



Back in 1876 an ol' boy named Bell
Invented a contraption that we know so well
By the 1950's they were in everybody's home
As a crazy little thing they call the telephone
Now there's one on every corner, in the back of every bar
You can get one in your briefcase, on a plane or in your car 

(Chorus)
So tell me why, haven't I heard from you
Tell me why, haven't I heard from you
I say now: Darlin', honey, what is your excuse
Why haven't I heard from you 

Well there's no problem gettin' to me
Baby you can dial direct
I got call forwarding and call waiting
You can even call collect
The service man he told me that my phone is working fine
And I've come to the conclusion trouble isn't with my line
I'm sure the operator will be glad to put you thru
So dial zero for assistance if this all confuses you 

(Repeat chorus) 

There better been a flood, a landslide of mud
A fire that burns up the wires
And a thunder so loud with a black funnel cloud
A natural disaster I know nothin' about 

(Repeat chorus twice)

All Of Me
Composer(s): Gerald Marks - Seymour Simons
First performance/First recording by: Belle Baker/Ruth Etting - 1931
Covered by multiple other artists



You took my kisses and all my love
You taught me how to care
Am I to be just remnant of a one side love affair

All you took
I gladly gave
There is nothing left for me to save

All of me
Why not take all of me
Can't you see
I'm no good without you
Take my lips
I want to loose them
Take my arms
I'll never use them
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on dear without you
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me

Why have you left the one you left me for?
Has she heard, like me, that slammin' door?
Did you leave for good or just get bored?
Why have you left the one you left me for?

Is she what…
You wanted?
Or has time…
Changed your mind?
Has your dream…
Love gone crazy?
And what brings…
You here tonight?

Why have you left the one you left me for?
Has she heard, like me, that slammin' door?
Did you leave for good or just get bored?

You're hurting
But I'm not sure…
If it's real!
How can I…
Really hold you?
When I don't…
When I don't know how you feel?

Why have you left the one you left me for?
Has she heard, like me, that slammin' door?
Did you leave for good or just get bored?

Okay, come on in!
You be my lover!
I'll be your friend!
You don't have to tell me, and I won't ask again!

All Of A Sudden
Composer(s): Harry Woods
Composer(s): Carroll Gibbons; Cliff "Ukelele Ike" Edwards; Kenny Sargent



All of a sudden my heart went athuddin’ when I saw you
All of a sudden the trees went abuddin’ and skies were blue
It was a moment, a wonderful moment that came to me
Sunlight and laughter are mine ever after
Still it’s all a mystery

I’m in the middle of some funny riddle I can’t explain
Why should I try it or try to deny it, it’s all in vain
Here with my loving arms around you
Happy I found you, how can it be
That all of a sudden I love you and you love me

Why Dream
Composer(s): Hans Eric Cleuver; Thijs Van Leer
Performer(s): Focus



Why dream about the future?
Now is the present as bad as the present can be

Why dream about the future?
The light is dark and darkness is all you can see

Planes go flight by flight
(Planes go flight by flight)
Ready for a fight
(Ready for a fight)
Ships pass in the night
(Ships pass)
Through the Bosporus
Marching columns sound
(Marching columns)
Reasons yet unfound
For me for you
For all of us

Why dream about the future?
The sun is shining upon a world full of fear

Why dream about the future?
When the clash and the bang of that future is coming to near

This is our time
(This is our time)
We will drink this wine
(We will drink this wine)
Reaches our cup
(Reaches)
And we like it fine
Please don't hesitate
before it is too late
You had your chance and lift your fate

We dream about the future!
Where we can change things as they ought to be

We dream about the future!
Where we will be moving and choosing our own destiny

All Of A Sudden
Composer(s): Nathalie Archangel - Scott Wilk
Performer(s): Bette Midler



All of a sudden all the past was behind me
All of a sudden nothing stood to remind me
All of a piece I am awake and I can say

All of a sudden I am finding religion
All of a sudden all my sins are forgiven
Now all at once it is down to you and me

I see light over there at the end of the tunnel and
I don't mind if it takes a little more time
Come over here, don't take your hand away
Come over here, take my breath away
Now is the time to say what you want to say
(It's not a dream, this is really happening)

All of a sudden, now baby, it's love
All of a little just isn't enough
All of a sudden, now baby, it's real
All of the riddle comes perfectly clear

All in a moment I was brought through the darkness
All in one motion like the sun through the forest
Oh, by the grace I am alive and I will live

All of a sudden I am cleared of confusion
All of my happiness is real, not illusion
So many years I had to seek so I could find

I see light over there at the end of the tunnel and
I don't mind if it takes a little more time
Come over here, don't take your hand away
Come over here, take my breath away
Now is the time to say what you want to say
(It's not a dream, this is really happening)

All of a sudden, now baby, it's love
All of a little just isn't enough
All of a sudden, now baby, it's real
All of the riddle comes perfectly clear

Come over here, don't take your hand away
Come over here, and take my breath away
Now is the time to say what you want to say
(It's not a dream, this is really happening)

All of a sudden, now baby, it's love
All of a little just isn't enough
All of a sudden. now baby, it's real
All of the riddle comes perfectly clear

All of a sudden, now baby, it's true
All of a sudden I believe in you
All of a sudden I'm fooling around
All of a sudden I know what I found
I know what I found
I know what I found
I know what I found

Why Don't You Write Me
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Simon & Garfunkel;
Adina Edwards; Olivia Newton-John; Punch



Why don't you write me
I'm out in the jungle
I'm hungry to hear you
Send me a card
I am waiting so hard
To be near you
(La, la, la)

Why don't you write?
Something is wrong
And I know I got to be there
Maybe I''m lost
But I can't make the cost
Of the airfare
Tell me why
Why
Why
Tell me why
Why
Why

Why don't you write me
A letter would brighten
My loneliest evening
Mail it today
If it's only to say
That you're leaving me
(La, la, la)

Monday morning, sitting in the sun
Hoping and wishing for the mail to come
Tuesday, never got a word
Wednesday, Thursday, ain't no sign
Drank a half a bottle of iodine
Friday, woe is me
Gonna hang my body from the highest tree
Why don't you write me?

All Night Train
Composer(s): Gregg Allman - Warren Haynes - Chuck Leavell
Performer(s): The Allman Brothers Band



Last night sorta got so insane
as I went ridin' on the all night train
Took it down the street and around the block
took it downtown baby where the big boys rock
Roll on, roll on
take me where I can ease my pain
Preacher say boy now where you been?
Getting lead in my pockets
putting money in sin
When the mornin' comes not a nickel to my name
threw it all away on the all night train
Ride, let the passenger ride
Ride, let the passenger ride
I woke up late yesterday afternoon
my eyeballs feeling like two balloons
The doctor say things ain't never gonna change
till you stop riding that all night train
Ride, let the passenger ride
Ride, let the passenger ride
Took a little trip to keep from going insane
spent the rest of my life on the all night train
All night train
All night train
All night train

Why Don't You Love Me (Like You Used To Do)?
Composer(s): Hank Williams
Performer(s): Hank Williams;
and various other artists



Why don't you love me like you used to do?
How come you treat me like a worn out shoe?
My hair is still curly and my eyes are still blue
Why don't you love me like you used to do?

Ain't had no lovin' like a-huggin' and a-kissin' in a long, long while
We don't get nearer, further, closer than a country mile

Why don't you be the sort you used to be?
How come you find so many faults with me?
I'm the same old trouble that you've always been through
Why don't you love me like you used to do?

Ain't had no lovin' like a-huggin' and a-kissin' in a long, long while
We don't get nearer, further, closer than a country mile

Why don't you spark me like you used to do?
Say sweet nothings like you used to coo
Somebody's changed, so let me give you a clue
Why don't you love me like you used to do?

Composer(s): Lonnie Glosson; Wayne Raney
Performer(s): Wayne Raney;
and various other artists



They say the love bug will get you at the age of 23
I'm not telling my age but something got a hold of me
I'm just craving some lovin' in that old fashion way
Honey linger near and listen to all I had to say
Why don't you haul off and love me one more time
Why don't you squeeze me until I'm turning blind
If you don't cuddle up and love me like I want you to do
I'm gonna haul off and die over you

Now honey come a little closer put your little hand in mine
Let me feel your arms about me honey please don't change your mind
'Cause my lovesick heart's a troublin' as I hold you close to mine
I'm just havin' lot of lovin' waitin' for me on the line
Why don't you haul off and love me...

Now I can feel your warm lips near me hear you breathe so soft and fine
I can feel the matrimony crawlin' up and down my spine
I don't believe that love will hurt you cause it feels so nice and kind
I get mighty close to heaven when your love is on the line
Why don't you haul off and love me...

All Night Operator
Composer(s): Bryan Ferry
Performer(s): Bryan Ferry



Can´t you hear me talkin´ to you
I´m callin´ you one more time
All night operator
Dial me a better line
Can´t you hear me talkin´ to you
Do telephones make you cry?
I try to write letters
Only my pen runs dry
Though my words sound so confused
The feeling is running strong
Stick tight operator
Help me to pass it on
Final connection
A bridge before the fall
Receiver unrestin´
I count on your call
Am I just a number to you
A handful of empty sighs
All night operator
Reader between the lies
With half the world dreamin´
I see through your eyes
A switchboard breathin´
A diary of crossed lines
Can´t you hear me talkin´ to you
I´m callin´ you one more time
All night operator
Dial me better line
If you feel me driftin´ away
Slippin´ into my song
All night operator
All of a sudden - gone

As long as you're not in love with anyone else
Why don't you fall in love with me
You're drivin' me crazy, baby, try to be gay
Will you tell me no, or will you tell me yea

You gotta go overboard for someone someday
Believe it or not, it's bound to be
As long as you're not in love with anyone else
Why don't you fall in love with me
