    All Together
    Composer(s): Miles Rudge - Ted Dick
    Performer(s): Anthony Newley



    It goes all together, with a pum tiddle liddle
    Can't think whether there's a pum in the middle
    Once you've heard it you'll sing it all day long
    What a lovely song! Hang on a mo--

    It goes all together, and it -- no, wait a minute
    Can't think whether there's a pum tiddle in it
    What a pity, I've forgotten it because
    You'd love it, I know, if I knew what it was

    The bit in the middle is kind of sort of
    More like a waltz gone wrong.
    A singable song of the sort that we're short of
    As soon as I begin
    You'll want to join in

    It goes all together, but there's no use in going
    Hell for leather, when there's no way of knowing
    Even whether I'm singing it all wrong
    So hang on a mo--
    While I have a go
    At sorting out this simple yet very unforgettable song.

    The fella what sung it was kind of, sort of
    More or less drunk with song
    Long in the hair, it was breath he was short of
    As soon as I heard it I knew every word
    Of this song that I heard

    It goes all together with a pum tiddle liddle
    Can't think whether there's a pum in the middle
    Words were clever, what a lovely song
    No, hang on a mo--
    I remember every part of it
    Oh, let yourself go
    And we'll do it from the start of it
    Now, all together, we're getting in the mood
    No, hang on a mo--
    It's rude!

    William Tell
    Composer(s): Gioacchino Rossini; Harold Purcell
    Performer(s): David Whitfield



    Come away, come away with William Tell
    Come away to the land he loved so well
    What a day, what a day when the apple fell
    For Tell and Switzerland

    Come away with Tell to the mountainside
    Looking down to the pass where the tyrants ride
    Set a bolt to your bow and down they go
    For Tell and Switzerland

    We are simple peasant folk
    We will not fell a foreign yoke
    Our freedom song will echo on
    We’ll fight for what is right

    Hurry on, hurry on there’s a pungent cell
    Hurry on, hurry on there’s a noose as well
    What we must face from the jaws of hell
    For Tell and Switzerland

    We lived our lives, we loved our friends
    We never wanted more
    We had the skill to plough and till
    But not the art of war
    But now the tyrant from the plains
    Steals up to take our lands
    Instead of spade we wield the blade
    Our life is in our hands

    Follow on, follow on with the leaders feel
    With a thrust of a pike and a clash of steel
    Follow on with the fight till the tyrants reel
    For Tell and Switzerland

    Give ‘em one for the day they bared the grain
    Give ‘em two for the night that Fritz was slain
    Give ‘em three, give ‘em four and hooray for more
    For Tell and Switzerland

    The shepherd’s crook, the reaping hook
    Has taken on a warlike look
    With blades we’ve beaten from the plough
    We reap a harvest now.

    Come away, come away with William Tell
    Come away to the land he loved so well
    Fit a bolt to your bow, and away we go
    For Te-e-e-ell, and Switzerland

    All Time High
    ((Dutch Version: Alsof Ik Zweef (by Liliane Saint-Pierre) - 1998))
    Composer(s): John Barry - Tim Rice
    First release by: Rita Coolidge - 1983
    Covered by multiple other artists



    All I wanted was a sweet distraction for an hour or two
    Had no intention to do the things we've done
    Funny how it always goes with love, when you don't look, you find
    But then we're two of a kind, we move as one

    We're an all time high, we'll change all that's gone before
    Doing so much more than falling in love
    On an all time high, we'll take on the world and wait
    So hold on tight, let the flight begin

    I don't want to waste a waking moment, I don't want to sleep
    I'm in so strong and so deep, and so are you
    In my time I've said these words before, but now I realiz
    My heart was telling me lies, for you they're true

    We're an all time high, we'll change all that's gone before ...
    So hold on tight, let the flight begin
    We're an all time high

    William Burke's Execution
    (Traditional)



    Let old and young unto my song
    A while attention pay
    The news I'll tell will please you well
    The monster Burke's away
    At the head of Libberton Wynd
    He finished his career
    There's few, I'm sure, rich or poor
    For him would shed a tear

    Chorus:
    Now Burke, the murderer, is dead
    His troubles here are o'er
    We can't tell where his spririt's fled
    He'll Burke the folk no more

    Eighteen hundred and twenty nine
    Let it recorded be
    Twenty eight day of January
    He suffer'd on a tree
    To Edinbro', numbers did go
    That day before 'twas noon
    For to see Burke, that cruel Turk
    Receive his awful doom

    They brought him from Calton Jail
    Some time in the night
    They thought the crowd would do the job
    Had they waited till light
    From the Lock-up they brought Burke
    Out about the hour of eight
    Where about forty-thousand folk
    Impatiently did wait

    The injur'd crowd, they groan'd aloud
    This monster to behold
    Who in his time had thought no crime
    To murder young and old
    When the scaffold he did ascend
    The people all did cry
    Bring out Will Hare, we think it fair
    That he should also die

    As round his neck the rope it went
    The shouts did rend the sky
    It's "Burke him, Burke him," the bloodhound
    The people all did cry
    The shouts they did continue on
    Until he was cut down
    The like was never heard before
    In Edinbro' town

    His bloody den, it does remain
    For strangers to behold
    Where him and Hare, they did not spare
    The lives of young or old
    In memory his bones will be
    Preserved for years to come
    Ye Burkites! now beware, lest you
    Do meet with the same doom

    Chorus

    Alsof Ik Zweef
    ((Adapted from: All Time High (by Rita Coolidge) - 1983))
    Composer(s): John Barry - Tim Rice - Mary Boduin
    Performer(s): Liliane Saint-Pierre - 1998



    Ik was enkel maar een avontuurtje voor een korte nacht
    En meer had ik niet gedacht voor jij verscheen
    Gek toch hoe het in de liefde gaat wanneer je niets verwacht
    Maar door die aantrekkingskracht zijn wij als één

    Net alsof ik zweef, als jij met die ogen kijkt
    Ik opnieuw herleef, alles lente lijkt
    Net alsof ik zweef, je laat me de wereld zien
    Zo zalig vrij allebei, zijn wij

    Oh ik wil geen enkele minuut verliezen dus slaap ik niet meer
    Ik zoek je altijd maar weer en jij vindt mij
    Zo vaak dacht ik dat ik eindelijk 't geluk gevonden had
    Maar het was meestal niet dat en het ging voorbij

    Net alsof ik zweef, als jij met die ogen kijkt
    Ik opnieuw herleef, alles lente lijkt
    Net alsof ik zweef, je laat me de wereld zien
    Zo zalig vrij allebei, zijn wij
    Zo zalig vrij allebei, zijn wij

    Net alsof ik zweef, als jij met die ogen kijkt
    Ik opnieuw herleef, alles lente lijkt
    Net alsof ik zweef, je laat me de wereld zien
    Zo zalig vrij allebei, zijn wij
    Zo zalig vrij allebei, zijn wij
    Net alsof ik zweef

    Will You?
    Composer(s): Brian Gibson
    Performer(s): Hazel O'Connor



    You drink your coffee and I sip my tea
    And we're sitting here playing so cool thinking "What will be, will be"
    But it's getting kind of late now
    Oh I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now
    Or will you just politely say goodnight?

    I move a little closer to you, not knowing quite what to do
    And I'm feeling all fingers and thumbs, I spill my tea, oh silly me!
    But it's getting kind of late now
    I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now
    Or will you just politely say goodnight?

    And then we touch much too much
    This moment has been waiting for a long long time
    Makes me shiver, it makes me quiver
    This moment I am so unsure
    This moment I have waited for
    Was it something you've been waiting for, waiting for too?

    Take off your ice, bare your soul
    Gather me to you and make me whole
    Tell me your secrets, sing me the song
    Sing it to me in the silent dawn
    But it's getting kind of late now
    I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now
    Or will you just politely say goodnight?

    and multiple other artists



    Sleep, my Child, and peace attend Thee, all through the night
    Guardian angels God will send Thee, all through the night
    Soft the drowsy hours are creeping, hill and vale in slumber sleeping
    God, His loving vigil keeping, all through the night

    While the moon her watch is keeping, all through the night
    While the weary world is sleeping, all through the night
    Through Your dreams You're swiftly stealing, visions of delight revealing
    Christmas time is so appealing, all through the night

    You, my God, a Babe of wonder, all through the night
    Dreams You dream can't break from thunder, all through the night
    Children's dreams cannot be broken; life is but a lovely token
    Christmas should be softly spoken all through the night

    Will You Still Be Mine?
    Composer(s): Tom Adair; Matt Dennis
    Performer(s): Connie Haines;
    and various other artists



    Ever since my heart took such a tumble
    I've wondered if your love for me would last
    When landmarks fall and institutions crumble
    Will it be just a memory of the past?

    When lovers make no rendezvous
    And stroll along Fifth Avenue
    When this familiar world is through
    Will you still be mine?

    When cabs don't drive around the park
    No windows light the summer dark
    When love has lost its secret spark
    Will you still be mine?

    When moonlight on the Hudson's not romancy
    And spring no longer turns a young man's fancy

    When glamour girls have lost their charms
    And sirens just mean false alarms
    When lovers heed no call to arms
    Will you still be mine?

    When Elsa's parties are no fun
    When FDR declines to run
    When Eleanor of "My Day" is done
    Will you still be mine?

    When Garbo gives out interviews
    And Harlem folk forget the blues
    When G-Man Hoover's out of clues
    Will you still be mine?

    A song of love will just remain a gay note
    When we have finally paid our FHA note

    When Barrymore first hides his face
    And when Yehudi leaves a trace
    When Crosby's horses win a race
    Will you still be mine?

    First release by: Jules Shear - 1983
    Covered by multiple other artists



    All through the night
    I'll be awake and I'll be with you
    All through the night
    This precious time when time is new
    Oh, all through the night today
    Knowing that we feel the same without saying

    We have no past we won't reach back
    Keep with me forward all through the night
    And once we start the meter clicks
    And it goes running all through the night
    Until it ends there is no end

    All through the night
    stray cat is crying so stray cat sings back
    All through the night
    They have forgotten what by day they lack
    Oh under those white street lamps
    There is a little chance they may see

    We have no past we won't reach back
    Keep with me forward all through the night
    And once we start the meter clicks
    And it goes running all through the night
    Until it ends there is no end

    Oh the sleep in your eyes is enough
    Let me be there let me stay there awhile

    We have no past we won't reach back
    Keep with me forward all through the night
    And once we start the meter clicks
    And it goes running all through the night
    Until it ends there is no end
    Keep with me forward all through the night
    And once we start the meter clicks
    And it goes running all through the night

    Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart

    Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart

    Ah love is so sweet in the springtime
    When blossoms are fragrant in May
    No years that are coming can bring time
    To make me forget dear, this day
    I love you in life's gray December
    The same as I love you today
    My heart ever young will remember
    The thrill it knew, that day in May

    Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart
    Will you love me ever?
    Will you remember this day?
    When we were happy in May
    My dearest one

    Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart
    Though our paths may sever
    To life's last faint ember
    Will you Remember?
    Springtime, lovetime, May
    Springtime, lovetime, May

    Sweet is the song, when the song is love
    Love that has stood the test of time
    And when you've heard all the songs of love
    Will you remember mine

    Gone are the days that I walked with you
    And I held your hand in mine
    Now when you hold another's hand
    Will you remember mine

    I have sat 'neath the trees while a cool summer's breeze
    Blew away the sands of time
    And I dreamed of days when you were here
    Remembering when you were mine

    But gone are the times when I held you close
    And pressed your lips to mine
    Now when you kiss another's lips
    Will you remember mine

    Will you remember mine

    All through the day, I dream about the night

    Down falls the sun, I run to meet you
    The evening mist melts away!
    Down smiles the moon, and soon your lips recall
    The kiss I dreamed of, all through the day!

    I come here today, I'm kind of nervous
    You know how words get in my way
    It should come easy, I've been rehearsing
    I don't know why I'm so afraid, to say

    Will you marry me
    Put our love and life together
    Will you stay with me
    For always and forever
    On bended knee, would you take this ring
    Will you marry me, please
    Will you marry me

    To be with you is what I live for
    But at this moment I confess
    Though I love you, God knows I love you
    Deep down inside I'm scared to death, say yes

    Will you marry me
    Put our love and life together
    Will you stay with me
    For always and forever
    On bended knee, would you take this ring
    Will you marry me, please

    Tonight you're mine completely

    Tonight with words unspoken
    You say that I'm the only one
    But will my heart be broken
    When the night meets the morning sun?

    I'd like to know that your love
    Is love I can be sure of
    So tell me now, and I won't ask again
    Will you still love me tomorrow?

    So tell me now, and I won't ask again

    I'm shouting all about love
    While they treated you like a dog
    When you were the one who had made it so clear
    All those years ago

    I'm talking all about how to give
    They don't act with much honesty
    But you point the way to the truth when you say
    All you need is love

    Living with the good and the bad
    I always looked up to you
    Now we're left cold and sad
    By someone the devil's best friend
    Someone who offended all

    We're living in a bad dream
    They've forgotten all about mankind
    And you were the one they backed up to the wall
    All those years ago
    You were the one who Imagined it all
    All those years ago

    Deep in the darkest night
    I send out a prayer to you
    Now in the world of light
    Where the spirit free of the lies
    And all else we despised

    They've forgotten all about God
    He's the only reason we exist
    Yet you were the one that they said was so weird
    All those years ago
    You said it all though not many had ears
    All those years ago
    You had control of our smiles and our tears
    All those years ago

    What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty?
    All this useless beauty

    Will You Love Me In December As You Do In May?
    Composer(s): J.J. Walker; Ernest R. Ball
    Performer(s): Joan Morris & William Bolcom



    Now in the summer of life sweetheart
    You say you love but me
    Gladly I give all my heart to you
    Throbbing with ecstacy
    But last night I saw while a dreaming
    The future old and gray
    And I wondered if you'll love me then dear
    Just as you do today

    You say the glow on my cheek sweetheart
    Is like the rose so sweet
    But when the bloom of fair youth has flown
    Then will our lips still meet?
    When life's setting sun fades away dear
    And all is said and done
    Will your arms still entwine and caress me
    Will our hearts beat as one?

    Will you love me in the December as you do in May
    Will you love me in the good old fashioned way?
    When my hair has turned all gray
    Will you kiss me then and say
    That you love me in December as you do in May?

    All This Useless Beauty
    Composer(s): Elvis Costello
    First release by: June Tabor - 1992



    It’s at times such as this she’d be tempted to spit
    If she wasn’t so ladylike
    She imagines how she might have lived
    Back when legends and history collide
    So she looks to her prince finding he’s so charmingly
    Slumped at her side
    Those days are recalled on the gallery wall
    And she’s waiting for passion or humour to strike

    What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty?
    All this useless beauty

    Good friday arrived, the sky darkened on time
    ’til he almost began to negotiate
    She held his head like a baby and said "it’s okay if you cry"
    Now he wants her to dress as if you couldn’t guess
    He desires to impress his associates
    But he’s part ugly beast and hellenic deceased
    So she finds that the mixture is hard to deny

    What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty?
    All this useless beauty

    She won’t practice the looks from the great tragic books
    That were later disgraced to face celluloid
    It won’t even make sense but you can bet
    If she isn’t a sweetheart or plaything or pet
    The film turns her into an unveiled threat

    Nonsense prevails, modesty fails
    Grace and virtue turn into stupidity
    While the calendar fades almost all barricades to a pale compromise
    And our leaders have feasts on the backsides of beasts
    They still think they’re the gods of antiquity
    If something you missed didn’t even exist
    It was just an ideal -- is it such a surprise?

    What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty?
    All this useless beauty

    What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty?
    All this useless beauty

    Will You Forgive If I Forget?
    Composer(s): Kurt Hirsekorn; Gabriel Selig



    Oh could I but recall the past, dear
    and all its bright and happy hours!
    It would not be that now at last, dear
    your love should fade like summer flowers
    our hands, our lips have met in gladness
    how can our lives be parted now
    Let love's roses banish sadness, recall the shadow from your brow!

    To take your image from my heart, dear
    would be to take the light from day!
    and if our paths on earth should part, dear
    my fondest hopes would fade away!
    Let not our little word now sever
    the bliss, the dreams that we have known!
    Oh, let us be sweethearts forever, let your dear love be all my own!

    Say not farewell, ah leave that word unspoken
    which brings a tear a bitter sigh!
    say not the vows that once we made are broken
    by one sad word that word Goodbye!
    Oh! give me back your fond caresses
    I cannot help I love you yet
    the fault was mine my heart confesses
    will you forgive if I forget?
