Ach Vader Lief, Toe Drink Niet Meer
Performer(s): Zangeres Zonder Naam



Ach vader lief, toe drink niet meer, ik vroeg het al zo menige keer
want moesje lief huilt telkens weer
ach vader lief, toe drink niet meer....

Een moeder zit stil bij 't fornuis
aan 't raam staat verdrietig haar kind
want nog steeds is vader niet thuis
omdat hij het weekloon verdrinkt
dan rent plots het kind door de kou
en hoort in een kroeg vader's stem
het pakt hem bedeesd bij zijn mouw
en vraagt dan met bevende stem

Ach vader lief, toe drink niet meer
ik vroeg het al zo menige keer
want moesje lief huilt telkens weer
oh vader lief, toe drink niet meer....

De man stoot het kind van zich af
dat valt met een smak op de grond
dan ziet hij vol schrik tot zijn straf
het hoofdje is bloedend verwond
vol schaamte brengt hij dan z'n kind
terug naar zijn huis en zijn vrouw
terwijl ze het hoofdje verbindt
zegt vader vol innig berouw

Je vader lief, die drinkt niet meer
je vroeg het al zo menige keer
dus moesje lief kom huil niet meer
want vader lief, die drinkt niet meer

A Happy Guy
Composer(s): Larry Kusic - Kenny Rankin
Performer(s): Rick Nelson; José Feliciano



Some guys like a 9 to 5 job 
and a house with a white picket fence 
some guys live for that weekly pay check 
but to me it don't make much sense 
now I dont like a tight collar 
or a suit with a matching tie 
I like to pick up and go where the four winds blow 

I steer clear of sweet talkin' gals 
they gotta wedding bells on their mind 
they want a guy to stay home every night 
but me I'm a different kind 

I move when I'm ready  
and I don't have to tell you why 
I just grab my hat  
and leave where I'm at 
and that's why I'm a happy guy 

You can look for me when Im passing through  
and I'll stay awhile in your town 
we can live it up and let the good times roll 
but dont try to settle me down 

No girls gonna chain me! 
I was born with a roving eye 
and when the thrill is gone  
I'll be moving on  

and that's why im a happy guy

Every time we meet, my heart skips a beat

You know that I walk

A Handful Of Stars
Composer(s): Jack Lawrence - Ted Shapiro
Performer(s): Glenn Miller



I recall the story
That night of love and glory
A night that left my heart romantic scars
We stood so near to heaven
That I reached clear to heaven
And gathered you a handful of stars

Sweet remembered hour
When love began to flower
With moonlight through the trees like silver balls
And as the moon grew older
I reached across your shoulder
And gathered you a handful of stars

I placed my fingertips upon your lips
And stars fell in your eyes
Moonglow made a halo of your hair
Suddenly you looked at me and dreams began to rise
Oh, what things unspoken trembled in the air

Our hearts were madly beating
And then our lips were meeting
And Venus seemed to melt right into Mars
Then while we stood caressing
Blue heaven sent a blessing
A shower of a handful of stars...!

Buy you diamond, everything
Till you be mine, baby
Then we will make amends

You're so fine
Yes you're so fine
You are a fine healthy thing
I wanna love you all the time

- harmonica solo -

You are a fine healthy thing
Let me love you all the time

A Handful Of Songs
((Danish Version: En Håndfuld Musik (by James & Hans Jamesmen) - 1957))
Composer(s): Lionel Bart - Michael Pratt - Tommy Steele
First release by: Tommy Steele and The Steelmen - 1957
Covered by multiple other artists



Well, I've got a handful of songs to sing you
Can't stop my voice when it longs to sing you
New songs and blue songs and songs to bring you happiness
No more nor less
Moreover wherever we may roam to
Or any shore where we may be blown to
We'll know that we're gonna feel at home to
Opera music-a
Jazz and cha-cha-chas
Calypsos and street vendor cries
Strains of old refrains
Sleepy time baby lullabies
I've got a handful of songs to sing you
I've got a heart full of love to bring you
True love for you love and love's a thing you keep
So here's a handful of songs going cheap
Just a handful of songs
Just a handful of songs
Only a handful of songs

You're Sixteen
Composer(s): Bob Sherman; Dick Sherman
Performer(s): Johnny Burnette;
and various other artists



You come on like a dream, peaches and cream
Lips like strawberry wine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine

You're all ribbons and curls, ooh what a girl
Eyes that sparkle and shine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine

You're my baby, you're my pet
We fell in love on the night we met
You touched my hand, my heart went pop
Ooh, when we kissed I could not stop

You walked out of my dreams and into my arms
Now you're my angel divine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine

You're my baby, you're my pet
We fell in love on the night we met
You touched my hand, my heart went pop
Ooh, when we kissed I could not stop

You walked out of my dreams, and into my car
Now you're my angel divine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful, and you're mine

A Half-Way Chance With You
Composer(s): Marty Robbins
Performer(s): Marty Robbins



If half of all the things you say, were true instead of lies
Then there'd be only half as many teardrops in my eyes
If half of all the dreams I dream, were ever to come true
Then in my heart I'd feel I had, A Half-way Chance With You

If most of all the things I hear, were only half-way true
Then I'd be half-way happy dear and only half as blue
If You spent half the time with me, you spend with someone new
Then in my heart I'd feel I had, A Half-way Chance With You

A half-way love is not enough, it's always kiss an run
I just can't fool my heart that way, I must have all, or none
If part-time love is all you want, or all you care to give
Why bother with the love at all, and only half-way live

If some of all the tears that fall, were yours and not all mine
Then half the clouds would disappear and half the sun would shine
If things were only turned around and you were feelin' blue
Then in my heart I'd feel I had, A Half-way Chance With you

You're Sensational
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists



A thorough knowledge I've got about girls
I've been around
And after learning a lot about girls
This is the important fact I found...

I've no proof
When people say you're more or less aloof
But you're sensational
I don't care
If you are called "The Fair Miss Frigid Air"
'Cause you're sensational

Making love is quite an art
What you require is the proper squire to fire your heart
And if you say
That one fine day you'll let me come to call
We'll have a ball
'Cause you're sensational
Sensational
That's all, that's all, that's all

A Habit I Can't Break
Composer(s): Buck Owens
Performer(s): Dolly Parton



Loving you isn't good for me 
You keep my tears flowing 
If I left you I couldn't stay gone 
So there's no use in going 
Loving you is a habit I can't break 

I haven't found a way yet 
But I've been trying 
To stop loving you but I can't wait 
There's no use in lyin' 

Loving you is a habit I can't break 

Loving you is a habit I can't break 
I've been loving you much too long now 
To change the way I feel 
So I might as well get used to these heartaches 

Loving you is a habit I can't break 

You're Probably Wondering Why I'm Here
Composer(s): Frank Zappa
Performer(s): Frank Zappa



You're probably wondering
Why I'm here
And so am I
So am I
Just as much as you wonder
'Bout me bein' in this place
Yeah!
That's just how much I marvel
At the lameness on your face
You rise each day the same old way
And join your friends out on the street
Spray your hair
And think you're neat
I think your life is incomplete
But maybe that's not for me to say
They only pay me here to play

I wanna hear Caravan with a drum solo

You're probably wondering
Why I'm here
And so am I
So am I

Just as much as you wonder
'Bout me starin' back at you
Yeah!
That's just how much I question
The corny things you do

You paint your face and then you chase
To meet the gang where the action is
Stomp all night
And drink your fizz
Roll your car and say "Gee whiz!"
You tore a big hole in your convertible top
What will you tell your Mom and Pop?

Mam, I tore a big hole in the convertible

You're probably wondering
Why I'm here
And so am I
So am I

Just as much as you wonder
If I mean just what I say
Yeah!
That's just how much I question
The social games you play

You told your Mom you're stoked on Tom
And went for a cruise in Freddie's car
Tommy's asking
Where you are
You boogied all night in a cheesy bar
Plastic boots and plastic hat
And you think you know where it's at?
Yeah!

You're probably wondering
Why I'm here
(Not that it makes a heck of a lot of a difference to ya)

Guy What Takes His Time
Composer(s): Ralph Rainger
Performer(s): Mae West
and multiple other artists



Anyone can see what's the matter with me
I've been hurried and rushed off my feet
Never had a minute's repose from walking the street
So I've thought it out and there isn't any doubt
My conclusion is all for the best
I need someone who can supply comfort and some rest

A guy what takes his time, I'll go for any time
I'm a fast movin' gal who likes them slow
Got no use for fancy drivin', want to see a guy arrivin' in low
I'd be satisfied, electrified to know a guy what takes his time

A hurry-up affair, I always give the air
Wouldn't give any rushin' gent a smile
I would go for any singer who would condescend to linger awhile
What a lullaby would be supplied to have a guy what takes his time

A guy what takes his time, I'd go for any time
A hasty job really spoils a master's touch
I don't like a big commotion, I'm a demon for slow motion or such
Why should I deny that I would die to know a guy who takes his time

There isn't any fun in getting something done
If you're rushed when you have to make the grade
I can spot an amateur, appreciate a connesseur in his trade
Who would qualify, no alibi, to be the guy who takes his time

On your little shoulders

darlin' I get lonely too...

So if you need me,
all you gotta do is call me
you're only lonely

A Guy Named Joe
Composer(s): Harlan Howard
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



I stepped ashore in Tokyo feeling kind a blue
For I was trying to forget a love that was untrue
When by my side I found a lad, his dark eyes all aglow
He looked at me so hopefully and said is you’re name, Joe?

For Joe’s my Daddy’s name and he will soon be sailing cross the sea
He said will come back bye and bye and Joe would never lie
The warship took my dad away and mommy needs him so
And every night I hear her pray “Dear God, where is my Joe?”

Somewhere back home a guy named Joe is probably sipping beer
Does he know how important he could be if he was here?
Has he forgotten this little lad who needs his daddy so?
A promise made, a debt unpaid, their waiting for you Joe

Yes, Joe’s his daddy’s name and he will never sail across that sea
A stranger in a foreign land he let his heart get out of hand
The warship took his dad away and he’s too young to know
That off across the ocean there’s a million guys’s named Joe

You're Not The Only One
Composer(s): Bob Marlette; John Wetton
Performer(s): John Wetton



I see you now in the dead of night 
The shadows closing in
You lie and wait for the morning light 
You'll just survive till then
Loneliness only means you harm 
So try to raise a smile 
Don't you know that your open arms 
Can bridge a thousand miles?
When there's no end to it all 
Try to surrender 
Let yourself fall and just 
Try to remember
You're Not The Only One who feels pain 
Open your heart and live again 
The rule you depend upon 
From this day on
You're Not The Only One
Throw back the shutters and unlock the spell 
Let sunshine light your face 
The growing fears that you know so well 
Will vanish into space
You're Not The Only One who needs faith 
Climbing the face of the unknown 
To tell you you're not alone 
And, above all else 
You're Not The Only One
Free Yourself 
Take a good look around 
There's a lot of love to be found 
Love will not let you down

Composer(s): Oscar Brand
Performer(s): Doris Day



I walked down the street like a good girl should
He followed me down the street like I knew he would
Because a guy is a guy wherever he may be
So listen and I'll tell you what this fella did to me

I walked to my house like a good girl should
He followed me to my house like I knew he would
Because a guy is a guy wherever he may be
So listen while I tell you what this fella did to me

I never saw the boy before
So nothin' could be sillier
At closer range his face was strange
But his manner was familiar

So I walked up the stairs like a good girl should
He followed me up the stairs like I knew he would
Because a guy is a guy wherever he may be
So listen and I'll tell you what this fella did to me

I stepped to my door like a good girl should
He stopped at my door like I knew he would
Because a guy is a guy wherever he may be
So listen while I tell you what this fella did to me

He asked me for a good-night kiss
I said, "It's still good day"
I would have told him more except
His lips got in the way

So I talked to my ma like a good girl should
And Ma talked to Pa like I knew she would
And they all agreed on a married life for me
The guy is my guy wherever he may be

So I walked down the aisle like a good girl should
He followed me down the aisle like I knew he would
Because a guy is a guy wherever he may be
And now you've heard the story of what someone did to me

And that's what he did to me

You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You
Composer(s): James Cavanaugh; 
Russ Morgan; Larry Stock
Performer(s): Frances Faye;
and various other artists



You're nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares
You might be king, you might possess, the world and its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness, when you're growing old

The world still is the same
You'll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody to love

A Gob Is A Slob
((Adapted from: I Went To the Alehouse (A Knave Is A Knave) - 1719; (aka A Guy Is A Guy (by Doris Day))
Composer(s): Oscar Brand



My mother told me not to talk to strangers in the street
As years went by, remembering, I was never indiscreet
But girls are girls and boys are boys
and boys and girls are fools
They're all the same, so who's to blame?
But it's nature makes the rules!

Well, I walked down the street like a good girl should
He followed me down the street like I knew he would
Because a gob is a slob wherever he may be
Listen, I'll tell you what the fellow did to me

I walked to my house like a good girl should
He followed me to my house like I knew he would
Because a gob is a slob wherever he may be
Listen while I tell you what the sailor did to me

I ran up the stair like a frightened hare
I even locked my bedroom door
I turned to the bed, I almost fell over dead
Somehow he sneaked right in before!

So I got into bed like a good girl should
He followed me into bed like I knew he would
Because a gob is a slob wherever he may be
Listen I'll tell ya what this sailor did to me

I pursed my lips, I tried to frown  
But frowning's not my style
I tried to pout, but what came out was a coy inviting smile
I knew he would of had me, even if I had refused
He didn't need encouragement, but what he got he used

I got into bed like a good girl should
He followed me into bed like I knew he would
Because a gob is a slob wherever he may be
Now listen while I tell ya what this sailor did to me

I got me a time like a good girl should
He got him a time like I knew he would
Because a gob is a slob wherever he may be
So listen while I tell ya what this sailor did to me

He grabbed me tight and he switched off the light
And he settled down to stay
I would have said, "Please leave this bed"
But who the hell is built that way?

So I had me a child like a good girl should
And he went off to sea like I knew he would
Because a gob is a slob wherever he may be
Now you heard the story of what this sailor did to me
