Listen Betty (I'm Singing Your Song)
Composer(s): Tom T. Hall
Performer(s): Dave Dudley



A friend and I made one shot run to Knoxville one day
We got the apple pie and coffee hungries on the way
We pulled into a little truckstop just outside of town
Pretty soon the waitress came around
She said my name is Betty and I'd know you anywhere
I'd like to have a minute of your time if you don't care
Would you sing a song about me and the waitresses you've met
About the broken promises we get
Now listen Betty I'm singing your song about the drivers that have done you wrong
All I wanna do is lay the blame where it belongs listen Betty I'm singing your song

There's a broken heart for every truckstop on the right
There's a lonesome driver for each passing set of lights
Now I can't tell you how to love or tell you how to live all I can do is tell it like it is
There's a million waitresses all up and down the line
I've seen some that were laughin' and I've seen some that were cryin'
I've left some that were happy and I've left some that were blue
If you're a waitress here's a song for you
Now listen Betty...

The highway is a part of hell that never caught on fire
The driver is the kinda man that devil wouldn't hire
That's what you're sayin' Betty but you can't stand the heat
Quit that job and let those drivers be
Now listen Betty...
Now listen Betty...

Tulsa Telephone Book
Composer(s): Tom T. Hall
Performer(s): Tom T. Hall; Dave Dudley



Have you read any good telephone books lately
If you ain't then let me recommend one
I've already read that Tulsa telephone book through thirteen times
If you don't know any last names it ain't much fun

Well I was in Tulsa and didn't have anything goin'
And she was in Tulsa and didn't have anything on
She said my name is Shirley and I said my name is Dave
I woke up the next mornin' and she was gone

Readin' that Tulsa telephone book will drive a man insane
Especially if that girl you're lookin' for has no last name
I gotta find her and tell her I don't want our love to end
So I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again

All of the Tulsa operators know my voice now
They must know how long I've been alone
If you see a girl named Shirley with some ribbons in her hair
Tell her that she's wanted on the phone

Readin' that Tulsa telephone book can drive a man insane
Especially if that girl you're lookin' for has no last name
Well, I gotta find her and tell her I don't want our love to end
So I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again
I keep on readin' that Tulsa telephone book again
I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again

Anche Per Te
Composer(s): Lucio Battisti - Mogol
First release by: Lucio Battisti - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



Per te che è ancora notte già prepari il tuo caffè
che ti vesti senza più guardar lo specchio dietro te
che poi entri in chiesa e preghi piano
e intanto pensi al mondo ormai per te così lontano

Per te che di mattina torni a casa tua perché
per strada più nessuno ha freddo e cerca più di te
per te che metti i soldi accanto a lui che dorme
e aggiungi ancora un po' d'amore a chi non sa che farne

Anche per te, vorrei morire ed io morir non so
anche per te, darei qualcosa che non ho
e così, e così, e così io resto qui
a darle i miei pensieri, a darle quel che ieri
avrei affidato al vento, cercando di raggiungere chi...
al vento avrebbe detto sì

Per te che di mattina svegli il tuo bambino e poi
lo vesti lo accompagni a scuola e al tuo lavoro vai
per te che un errore ti è costato tanto
che tremi nel guardare un uomo e vivi di rimpianto

Anche per te...

Dancing In The Starlight
Composer(s): Matt Clifford; Mick Jagger
Performer(s): Mick Jagger



I was tossing and a turning
Like as ship out in the storm
And I could not feel the spirit
There was nothing there at all
And I could not dial the number
And I could not make the call

Dancing in the starlight
Dancing in the strangest forms
And I could not feel the spirit
Was a thousand miles off course

Stumbling in the twilight
There was no one there at all
I was groping in the darkness
Seeing dangers in the port
Tortured into silence
My back against the wall

Dancing in the starlight
Swirling in the walls
Just like Venus on the ocean
The figures on the wall

If you don't take risks
If you don't take a chance
You're bound to fall
Oh yeah sugar
You will surely fall

Crying for salvation
There was nothing there at all
I could not dial the number
And I could not make the call

Dancing in the starlight
The figures on the wall
You will surely fall
Dancing in the starlight
You will surely fall
You will surely fall

Anastasia
Composer(s): Herb Newman - Paul F. Webster
Performer(s): Pat Boone



Anastasia, tell me who you are
Are you someone from another star
Anastasia, are you what you seem
Do your sad eyes remember a dream

Why do you tremble and why do you sigh
Could you be lonely as lonely as I
Will you remember when summer has flown
Another world, a world that is yours alone

Anastasia, smile away the past
Anastasia, spring is here at last
Beautiful stranger step down from your star
I only know I love you so, whoever you are

Anastasia, Anastasia
Beautiful stranger step down from your star
I only know I love you so, whoever you are

Dancing In The Moonlight (It's Caught Me In Its Spotlight)
Composer(s): Phil Lynott
Performer(s): Thin Lizzy;
Even Johansen; The Smashing Pumpkins



When I passed you in the doorway
You took me with a glance
I should have took that last bus home
But I asked you for a dance

Now we go steady to the pictures
I always get chocolate stains on my pants
My father he's going crazy
Say's I'm living in a trance

But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
It's alright, alright
Dancing in the moonlight
On the long hot summer night

It's three o'clock in the morning
And I'm on the streets again
I disobeyed another warning
I should have been in by ten

Now I won't get out until Sunday
I'll have to say I stayed with friends
But it's a habit worth forming
If it means to justify the end

Analyse Time
Composer(s): Rossi - Brown
Performer(s): Status Quo



I still remember when I would be the only one
I used to think that I'd be a darlin' boy
Never worried 'bout bad times, only wanted those good times

And then it took a nasty turn and you became the strangest one
And now I look back, I didn't help at all
Falling over my own feet, always taking that back seat, oh no

Hold on, it's analyse time again
What's wrong? so talk it out with a friend
How long before you want me again

We had our bad days but never thought that we would fall
Into the same trap that other people do
We were gonna be perfect, we were gonna be magic

Before we knew it there were cracks appearing in the photograph
It was a time bomb, a-ticking all the while
We were gonna be lovers, now we're running for cover, oh no

Hold on, it's analyse time again
What's wrong? so talk it out with a friend
How long before you want me again?

Calm down and get your feet on the ground
Come round, we're on the same side of town
Fall down, d'you want to call it an end
Hold on, it's analyse time again

We gotta put it on the straight and narrow 'fore we fall apart
We gotta get down and do it on our own
Never worried 'bout bad times, always looking at good times, good times

Hold on, it's analyse time again
What's wrong? so talk it out with a friend
How long before you want me again?
Calm down and get your feet on the ground
Come round, we're on the same side of town
Fall down, d'you want to call it an end
Hold on, it's analyse time again

Yeah, analyse time again
It's analyse time again
It's analyse time again
It's analyse time again

Dancing In The Moonlight
Composer(s): Sherman Kelly
Performer(s): King Harvest



We get it on most every night
When that moon is big and bright
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark and they don't bite
They keep things loose they keep it tight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Dancing in the moonlight 
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a supernatural delight 
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

We like our fun and we never fight
You can't dance and stay uptight
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Dancing in the moonlight 
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a supernatural delight 
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Dancing in the moonlight 
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a supernatural delight 
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Dancing In The Dark
Composer(s): Arthur Schwartz; Howard Dietz
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and various other artists



Dancing in the dark
Till the tune end
We’re dancing in the dark
And it soon ends
We’re waltzing in the wonder
Of why we’re here
Time hurries by
We’re here and gone
Looking for the light
Of a new love
To brighten up the night
I have you to love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark

What though love is old?
What though song is old?
Through them we can be young
Hear this heart of mine
Make yours part of mine
Dear one, tell me that we’re one!
Dancing in the dark!

Anagram
Composer(s): Geddy Lee - Alex Lifeson - Neil Peart
Performer(s): Rush



There's a snake coming out of the darkness
Parade from paradise
End the need for eden
Chase the dreams of merchandise

There is tic and toc in atomic
Leaders make a deal
The cosmic is largely comic
A con they couldn't conceal

There is no safe seat at the feast
Take your best stab at the beast
The night is turning thin
The saint is turning to sin

Raise the art to resistance
Danger dare to be grand
Pride reduced to humble pie
Diamonds down to sand

Take heart from earth and weather
The brightness of new birth
Take heart from the harvest
Shave the harvest from the earth

Reasoning is partly insane
Image just an eyeless game
The night is turning thin
The saint is turning to sin

Miracles will have their claimers
More will bow to Rome
He and she are in the house
But there's only me at home

Rose is a rose of splendor
Posed to respond in the end
Lonely things like nights,
I find, end finer with a friend

I hear in the rate of her heart
A tear in the heat of the art
The night turns thin
The saint turns to sin

Dancing Girls
Composer(s): Nick Kershaw
Performer(s): Nik Kershaw



Cold and lonely, tired and bored
Just like the day before
Missing out on life's reward
Of that you an be sure

So bring on the dancing girls
Take off the cold night and the sad day
Bring on the dancing girls
Take off the twilight and the skies so grey

And they dance for him inside his head

Soul destroyed by life's demands
With nothing to believe
Our hero sits with head in hands
And heart upon his sleeve

So bring on the dancing girls
Take off the cold night and the sad day

Bring on the dancing girls
Bring on the girls to dance his blues away

And they danced for him inside his head

Sweet Dreams
Performer(s): The Precisions



Oooh-wooh-oooh-wah-aah
Ooooooooh-oooh-wah-aah

Sweet dreams, my love
Angels watching from above
While the Sandman fills your eyes
With sweet dreams, my love and goodnight

Sweet dreams, my love
Listen to the little dove
Singing you a lullaby
Sweet dreams, my love and goodnight

While the stars are glowing
Like candles in the blue
Close your eyes, my darling
I will dream of you, my darling

Sweet dreams, my love
Angels watching from above
While the Sandman fills your eyes
With sweet dreams, my love and goodnight

While the stars are glowing
Like candles in the blue
Close your eyes, my darling
I will dream of you, my darling

Sweet dreams, my love
Angels watching from above
While the Sandman fills your eyes
With sweet dreams, my love and goodnight
Sweet dreams, my love and goodnight
Wooh-oooh-oooh ...

Covered by various other artists



Dancing days are here again
As the summer evenings grow
I got my flower, I got my power
I got a woman who knows

I said it's all right
You know it's all right
I guess it's all in my heart
You'll be my only, my one and only
Is that the way it should start?

Crazy ways are evident
In the way you're wearing your clothes
Sippin' booze is precedent
As the evening starts to glow

You know it's all right
I said it's all right
You know it's all in my heart
You'll be my only, my one and only
Is that the way it should start?
Dude!

You told your mamma I'd get you home
But you didn't say that I had no car
I saw a lion he was standing alone
With a tadpole in a jar

You know it's all right
I said it's all right
I guess it's all in my heart heart heart
You'll be my only
my one and only
Is that the way it should start?

Dancing days are here again
As the summer evenings grow
You are my flower, you are my power baby
You are my woman who knows

I said it's all right
You know it's all right
I know it's all in my heart
You'll be my only yes, my one and only yes
Is that the way it should start?
I know it is yeah!

Ana, La Dulce
Composer(s): Miguel Mateos
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos



Dulce Ana, con tan sólo 16
Dulce Ana, tiempo de burlar la ley
Oh oh oh, no hay escuela esta mañana
no hay caricias en la cama
Sólo tu dulce cara contra la ventana
y digo oh oh oh
Descalza en el corredor
papá y mamá no hacen más el amor
por eso quién tiró
la naranja contra el pizarrón

Dulce Ana, rock`n roll en un cassette
Dulce Ana, un espejo y tu sostén
Oh, oh, oh
Papá golpeando en la mesa
su puño vuelca la cerveza
sobre un dibujo obsceno
en tu cuaderno bueno
y digo oh oh oh
saliste corriendo a la calle
llevando tiza de color
y dibujaste en el muro
un sol, un tren
y el rostro de la felicidad

Ah..! Ana adónde vas
toda pintada y ese vestido
Ah..! Ana a qué hora llegas
quién es el tipo del clarinete?

Oh oh oh
un bolsón y una manzana
un amigo en la ventana
Janis Joplin y Mozart
abriendo la cama
y digo oh oh oh
la nena está dejando casa
hagan algo por favor
una puerta cerró
un sol, un tren
y el rostro de la felicidad

Dulce Ana, dulce Ana
por eso quién tiró
la naranja contra el pizarrón
Dulce Ana, dulce Ana
un sol, un tren
y el rostro de la felicidad

Dancing Bear 
Composer(s): John Phillips

Avalon Rising; Broceliande



I wouldn't want to be a chimney sweep 
All black from head to foot
From climbing in them chimneys
And cleaning out that soot
With a broom and ladder and pail
The darkened walls I scale
And far..and high...
I see a patch of sky

I'd rather be the gypsy
(I'd rather be the gypsy)
Whose camped at the edge of town
(Camped at the edge of town)
The one who has the dancing bear
That follows him around
And he lifts his big foot up
He puts his big foot down
And bows...and twirls...
And dances `round and `round

I found I was a cabin boy last night as I did dream
Bound upon a magic ship for a land I'd never seen
And the moon she filled our sails
And the stars they steered out course
And on our bow there was a golden horse

The queen eats fruit and candy; the bishop nuts and cheese
And when I am a grown man, I'll taste just what I please
The honey from the bee, the shellfish from the sea
The earth, the wind, a girl, someone to share these things with me

I wouldn't want to be a chimney sweep...
(I'd rather be the gypsy ...)
(I dreamed I was a cabin boy ...)
