All Tomorrow's Parties
((German Version: Alle Morgens Parties (by Kendra Smith) - 1987))
Composer(s): Lou Reed
First release by: The Velvet Underground & Nico - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
A hand-me-down dress from who knows where
To all tomorrow's parties
And where will she go and what shall she do
When midnight comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
Why silks and linens of yesterday's gowns
To all tomorrow's parties

And what will she do with Thursday's rags
When Monday comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
For Thursday's child is Sunday's clown
For whom none will go mourning

A blackened shroud, a hand-me-down gown
Of rags and silks, a costume
Fit for one who sits and cries
For all tomorrow's parties 

Willie And The Hand Jive 
Composer(s): Johnny Otis
Performer(s): Johnny Otis



I know a cat named way out Willie
He got a cool little chick named rockin' Millie
He can dance and stroll and Susie-Q
Do that crazy hand jive too

Papa told Willie you'll ruin my home
Say you and that hand jive just got to go
Willie told Papa don't put me down
Doing that hand jive all over town

Chorus
Hand jive
Hand jive
Doing that crazy hand jive

Mama, mama look at Uncle Joe
He's doing that hand jive with sister Flo
And grandma gave baby sister a dime
Do that hand jive just one more time

Doctor and a lawyer and an Indian chief
Lord, they all digging that crazy beat
Way out Willie gives them all a treat
Lord he's doing that hand jive with his feet

Willie and Lily got married last fall
They had a little Willie Junior, and that ain't all
The kid got famous in his crib, you see
Lord he's doing that hand jive on TV

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?

All Through The Night
Composer(s): Nick Reynolds
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio
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?

All Through The Night 
((German & Welsh Version: In Dieser Nacht (by Nana Mouskouri); Ar Hyd Y Nos (by Nana Mouskouri))
Composer(s): Jules Shear

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
Until it ends there is no end

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

Holl amrantau'r sêr ddywedant
Ar hyd y nos
'Dyma'r ffordd i fro gogoniant

Teulu'r nefoedd mewn tawelwch
Ar hyd y nos

Soft the drowsy hours are creeping
Hill and dale in slumber steeping
I my loving vigil keeping
All through the night

Will You Remember Mine
Composer(s): Willie Nelson
Performer(s): Willie Nelson; Timi Yuro



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
I dream about the night here with you
All through the day, I wish away the time
Until the time when I'm here with you

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!

Will You Marry Me
Composer(s): Al Anderson; Jeffrey Steele
Performer(s): Alabama



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
Will you marry me

On bended knee
On bended knee
Would you take this ring
I will take your ring
Will you marry me, please
Will you marry me

All Those Yesterdays
Composer(s): Justin Tubb

What will I do with All Those Yesterdays?
Where will I go, what will I say
How can I live since you have gone away?
What will I do with All Those Yesterdays?

Tomorrow never bothers me I know what it will bring
It is just another day and it won’t mean a thing
But when nighttime falls and memories come into play
What will I do with All Those Yesterdays?

Tomorrow never bothers me I know what it will bring
It is just another day and it won’t mean a thing
But when night times falls and memories come into play
What will I do with All Those Yesterdays?

Performer(s): The Shirelles;
and various other artists



Tonight you're mine completely
You give you love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sighs?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

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
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

All Those Years Ago
Composer(s): George Harrison
Performer(s): George Harrison



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?
