And It's Better Now
Composer(s): Francis Rossi - Rob Young
Performer(s): Status Quo



Riding along on the words of a song in my head
Thinking all day of the thoughts in my mind never said
I have needed a friend, over and over again
Everyone sings of a God they have known
Now I have a God of my own

And it's better now, been a long, long time
And it's better now that the words can rhyme

Gotta have something to sing about, everyone must have a song
Now I got something to sing about, everyone's singing my song
Gotta have something to sing about, everyone must have a song
Now I got something to sing about, everyone's singing my song

Dreaming away, never wishing to be anyone
Never a question or reason to find right or wrong
When I looked at the end, over and over again
Riding along on the words of a song
Thinking my time had all gone

And it's better now, been a long, long time
And it's better now that the words can rhyme

Gotta have something to sing about, everyone must have a song
Now I got something to sing about, everyone's singing my song
Gotta have something to sing about, everyone must have a song
Now I got something to sing about, everyone's singing my song

Dangerous Nan McGrew 
Composer(s): Al Goodhart; Don Hartman
Performer(s): Helen Kane



Hotcha, Chacha, Vo-doe-de-oh
And Boop-oop Poop-oop-a-doop
Tootin', shootin', high-falutin'
I make you loop the loop

I'm from the great North West
I'm dif'rent from the rest
Stand up, stand up, throw your hands up
I shoot pants and vest

Oh, I've been a bad girl all my life
I pick my teeth with a carving knife
And I make a widow of a wife
'Cause I'm dangerous Nan McGrew

Why, I slapped Jack Dempsey in the face
And I make barbed wire look like lace
And I throw myself right out of place
'Cause I'm dangerous Nan McGrew

And I eat dynamite
And I blow up in spite
I shoot everything in sight
Beware! Boom boom! Take Care! Poo poo!

With one breath, I sink a boat
And if anybody gets my goat
I cut myself a piece of throat
'Cause I'm dangerous Nan McGrew

Why, bullets, they bounce right off my chest
And I sleep on a hornet's nest
Why, I'm the gal sends show men west
'Cause I'm dangerous Nan McGrew

Why, lions tremble when I frown
When that great big Zeppelin came to town
Remember? I'm the one that held it down
Because I'm dangerous Nan McGrew

I like destroying pelf
I shoot bottles off the shelf
I'm so bad I scare myself
Take care! Boom boom! Beware! Poo poo!

Why, I pull a train right off the tracks
And for perfume, I use shellac
When mad dogs bite, I bite 'em back
Grrrr! 'Cause I'm dangerous Nan McGrew!

And It Stoned Me
Composer(s): Van Morrison
Performer(s): Van Morrison
and multiple other artists



Half a mile from the county fair
And the rain came pourin' down
Me and Billy standin' there
With a silver half a crown
Hands full of a fishin' rods
And the tackle on our backs
We just stood there gettin' wet
With our backs against the fence

Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Hope it don't rain all day

And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like goin' home
And it stoned me

Then the rain let up, and the sun came up
And we were gettin' dry
Almost let a pick-up truck nearly pass us by
So we jumped right in and the driver grinned
And he dropped us up the road
We looked at the swim and we jumped right in
Not to mention the fishing poles

Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Feel it run all over me

And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like goin' home
And it stoned me

On the way back home we sang a song
But our throats were getting dry
Then we saw the man from across the road
With the sunshine in his eyes
Well he lived all alone in his own little home
With a great big gallon jar
There were bottles too, one for me and you
And he said, "Hey! there you are"

Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Get it myself from the mountain stream

And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like goin' home
And it stoned me

Dangerous Man
Composer(s): Dwight Yoakam
Performer(s): Dwight Yoakam



He's a dangerous man
He's got blood in his plans
Better watch out where you stand
'Cause he's a dangerous man
He'll make you believe that he's your friend
But don't forget it's just pretend
And he's a dangerous man

He'll tell you the right things
About all the wrong people
He'll smile and he'll say "Hey you and me
We think just the same"
You better make sure that you read
All the rules first
'Cause he runs a crooked game

He's a dangerous man
He's got blood in his plans
Better watch out where you stand
'Cause he's a dangerous man
He'll make you believe that he's your friend
But don't forget it's just pretend
And he's a dangerous man

His words are all vain
And his promise is empty
His message is loud
But it ain't meant to be clear
He hides all the clues
That have left his hands stained and dirty
And he'll wash them with your tears

'Cause he's a dangerous man
He's got blood in his plans
Better watch out where you stand
'Cause he's a dangerous man
He'll make you believe that he's your friend
But don't forget it's just pretend
And he's a dangerous man

And It Shook Me
Composer(s): Graham Parker
Performer(s): Graham Parker



And it shook me, it shook me up, it shook me up, yeah

I remember the way you looked when we first met
There are some things in this world you can’t forget
You were standing underneath the light I lost my heart, it felt all right
And it shook me, and I’m still shaking now

I remember rainy nights I thought I’d drown
Was it london new york paris or amsterdam
I forget the details no I must admit but you were there through all of it
And it shook me, and I’m still shaking now

And it shook me, it shook me up, it shook me up, yeah

Will you hold on and hope our grip don’t fail
Sometimes lovers hammer in their own coffin nails
I just read how universes start, continually they blow apart
And it shook me and I’m still shaking now

Some believe in a heaven up above
With a God that forgives all with his great love
Well I forgive you if you forgive me, hey! who needs the third party anyway
And it shook me and I’m still shaking now

And it shook me, it shook me up, it shook me up, yeah ...

Dangerous Dan McGrew 
Composer(s): Alex Kramer; Joan Whitney
Performer(s): Guy Lombardo



A bunch of the boys were whoopin’ it up
At the Malamute Café
And the ragtime kid at the music box
Was a jazz and a tune that was gay
And back of the bar in a poker game
Sat a man that everyone knew
He was grim and cold, he was bad and bold
He was dangerous Dan McGrew

And while dangerous Dan was a-playin’ his hand
And keeping his mind on his game
You could see standing by with a gleam in her eye
And her hair just as red as a flame
A gal who was tall, with a face like a doll
And her fingernails painted blue
Oh, a gal who was tall, with a face like a doll
The lady that’s known as Lou

Then out of the night which was fifty below
And into the din and the glare
A man staggered in who was haggard and thin
And his face was filled with despair
Now he looked all around until he had found
The lady that’s known as Lou
And then the stranger turned
And his eyes they burned
On dangerous Dan McGrew

Then suddenly wham! All the lights went out
And a voice cried “Die, you must!”
And then a woman screamed and a shot rang out
And somebody bit the dust
And then the lights flashed on
And the north-west mounted police
Came a-crashin’ through
They drew their guns and they said
“Which one is dangerous Dan McGrew?”

And then somebody said “whoo, whoo, they’re so big!”
And skipped across the floor
A-one, two, skip, hand on hip
Right out through the open door
Now was it the stranger a-takin’ his leave?
Or the lady that’s known as Lou?
It was nobody else in this whole wide world
But dangerous Dan McGrew

And In My Chair 
((Adapted from: Et Moi Dans Mon Coin (Charles Azanavour) - 1966))
((Italian Version: Ed Io Tra Di Voi (Charles Aznavour - 1970))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - David Newburge
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour - 1998



He, he observes you from where he sits
You, it unnerves you, you lose your wits
He, he ignites you with eyes of flame
You, it excites you, you like the game

And I in my chair, 'though I hardly speak
I notice each innuendo
And I in my chair, I'm stricken with fear
At seeing the end so near

He, how to win you, views with a style
You, you continue to coyly smile
He, with his ????? ??? haunting laugh
You, only sorry that I'm around

And I in my chair, 'though I hardly speak
I see just how well he's doing
And I in my chair, I'm trying to hide
The dread that I hold inside

He, his eyes flatter, your glances touch
You, now you chatter a bit too much
He, like a gypsy, he serenades
You, you grow tipsy, your laugh cascades

And I in my chair, 'though I hardly speak
My heart's on the verge of crying
And I in my chair, my heart understands
My love is now changing hands

No, no, no it's nothing, perhaps a little tired only
Why do you ask me to "compris"
This was a beautiful evening
Yes indeed a, a beautiful evening

Danger! Heartbreak Ahead
Composer(s): Carl Barefoot; Stutz-Barefood
Performer(s): Jaye P. Morgan; The Gaylords



Danger, heartbreak ahead
Look out little fool, you're not wise
Not wise to love so completely
Or fall for that look in his eyes

Danger, heartbreak ahead
Be sure little heart for you know
Yes you know what happened to you before
There's danger, travel slow

Does his kiss really mean what you think it means
Are the words that he whispers, true
Are you sure you understand, the touch of his hand
Does his touch mean too much to you

Maybe, I could be wrong
But go slow little fool for it's said
That love either finds you, or love either blinds you
To the danger of a heartbreak ahead

Does his kiss really mean what you think it means
Are the words that he whispers, true
Are you sure you understand, the touch of his hand
Does his touch mean too much to you

Maybe, I could be wrong
But go slow little fool for it's said
That love either finds you, or love either blinds you
To the danger of a heartbreak ahead

And I'll See You No More
Composer(s): Thompkins Jr. - Wortham
Performer(s): The Stylistics



What could be colder than the attitude
That’s being carried between me and you
And now that it seems our dreams will not come true
Baby, we’re through

But if by morning we still feel
The way we felt the night before
Then let’s say no more about it
Walk out the door
And I’ll see you no more

How can this be true

Living a lie is such a foolish game
How could we think that love would mean the rain
Talking it over would make things so plain
Come on, let’s try

But if by morning we still feel
The way we felt the night before
Then let’s say no more about it
Walk out the door
And I’ll see you no more

But if by morning we still feel
The way we felt the night before
Then let’s say no more about it
Walk out the door
And I’ll see you no more

I’ll see you no more
I’ll see you no more
See you no more
See you no more

Danger Zone
Composer(s): Percy Mayfield
Originally performed by: Percy Mayfield



Sad, sad and lonely
And sad and lonely all the time
That's because I've got
such a worried mind
The world is in an uproar
The danger zone everywhere
It is everywhere

Just read your paper
Read your paper and you'll see
Just what exactly has been
bothering me
The world is in an uproar
The danger zone everywhere
It is everywhere

My love for the world
It will always be the same
Because the world
has become a part of me
And I'm so afraid of the progress
that's being made toward eternity

Every morning, every morning
Every morning, noon and night
I keep on wishing and hoping
that everything's gonna be alright
The world is in an uproar
The danger zone everywhere
It is everywhere, everywhere

My love for the world
will always be the same
Because the world
has become a part of me
And I'm so afraid of the bloody progress
that has been made toward eternity

Every morning, every morning
Every morning, noon and night
I keep on wishing and hoping
that everything's gonna be alright
The world is in an uproar
Don't you know, don't you know
The danger zone everywhere
It is everywhere

And I'll Go
Composer(s): Sonny Curtis
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers



Look at me and tell me
You don't want me around anymore
And I'll go

Tell me that I don't mean
Anything at all to you anymore
And I'll go

If you wanna say our love's not right
I'll turn away from you, run away from you
Out of your life

Cause I love you and I want you to be free
If I'm not the man you want me to be

Look at me and tell me
You don't want me around anymore
And I'll go

Look at me and tell me
You don't want me around you anymore
All you gotta do is let me know
All you gotta do is tell me so
And I'll go, I'll go
And I'll go, I'll go

Danger Zone
Composer(s): Tom Whitlock; Giorgio Moroder
Performer(s): Kenny Loggins



Revvin' up your engine
Listen to her howlin' roar
Metal under tension
Beggin' you to touch and go
Highway to the Danger Zone
Ride into the Danger Zone
Headin' into twilight
Spreadin' out her wings tonight
She got you jumpin' off the track
And shovin' into overdrive
Highway to the Danger Zone
I'll take you
Right into the Danger Zone
You'll never say hello to you
Until you get it on the red line overload
You'll never know what you can do
Until you get it up as high as you can go
Out along the edges
Always where I burn to be
The further on the edge
The hotter the intensity
Highway to the Danger Zone
Gonna take you
Right into the Danger Zone
Highway to the Danger Zone

And I Think Of You
Composer(s): Peter Cetera - Andy Hill
Performer(s): Peter Cetera



Where did you go - why did you run
What did you need from me you felt we were missing
Now you never write - and you never call

What did you want - I couldn't give
You should've told me baby I would have listened
Why did you leave - when we had it all

And I think of you
Yes I think of you

Everywhere I go - anytime of the day
Every move I make - every word that I say
If I let myself I get carried away
When I think of you
I still think of you

Time on my hands doesn't seem right
I'll never get used to this single life
And now I wonder what you're doing tonight

We got away from it all
In a house upon the hill
I loved you then and I always will
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

And I Love You So
Composer(s): Don McLean
First release by: Don McLean - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived 'till now
I tell them I don't know! 
 
I guess they understand 
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand! 
 
And yes, I know
How lonely life can be
The shadows follow me 
And the night won't set me free! 
 
But I don't let ... 
The evening gets me down
Now that you're around 
Me! 
 
And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do! 
 
The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but love is dead
That is my belief! 
 
And yes, I know
How lonely life can be
The shadows follow me 
And the night won't set me free! 
 
But I don't let ... 
The evening gets me down
Now that you're around
Me! 

Dang Me
Composer(s): Roger Miller
Originally performed by: Roger Miller



Well, here sitta' high, gettin' ideas
ain't nothin' but a fool'd live like this
out all night, n' running wild
woman setting home with a month-old child

Dang me
dang me 
they ought to take a rope and hang me
high from the highest tree
woman wouldja' weep for me? 

Just sitting 'round drinking with the rest of the guys
six rounds bought, n' I bought five
spent the groceries and half the rent
like fourteen dollars and 27 cents

So dang me
dang me
they ought to take a rope and hang me 
high from the highest tree
woman wouldja' weep for me? 

They say roses are red, and violets are purple
sugar's sweet and so is maple surple
I'm the seventh out of seven sons
my pappy was a pistol, I'm a son of a gun

I say dang me
dang me
they ought to take a rope and hang me 
high from the highest tree
woman wouldja' weep for me?

The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I love her

A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near me

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her

Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her

High up in Arosa
They do for breaking the ice

Tanto tempo longe de você
Quero ao menos lhe falar
A distância não vai impedir
Meu amor de lhe encontrar...

Cartas já não adiantam mais
Quero ouvir a sua voz
Vou telefonar dizendo
Que eu estou quase morrendo
De saudades de você...

Tanta coisa sem você
E então me desespero
Por favor meu bem eu quero
Sem demora lhe falar...

Eu Te Amo!

Dandy 
Composer(s): Ray Davies
Performer(s): The Kinks



Dandy, Dandy
Where you gonna go now? 
Who you gonna run to? 
All your little life 
You're chasing all the girls
They can't resist your smile 
Oh, they long for Dandy, Dandy

Checkin' out the ladies
Tickling their fancy
Pouring out your charm 
To meet your own demands
And turn it off at will 
Oh, they long for Dandy, Dandy

Knockin' on the back door
Climbing through the window
Hubby's gone away
And while the cat's away 
The mice are gonna play
Oh, you low down Dandy, Dandy
Dandy 

Dandy, you know you're moving much too fast
And Dandy, you know you can't escape the past
Look around you and see the people settle down
And when you're old and grey you will remember what they said
That two girls are too many, three's a crowd and four you're dead

Oh Dandy, Dandy
When you gonna give up? 
Are you feeling old now? 
You always will be free
You need no sympathy
A bachelor you will stay
And Dandy, you're all right
You're all right
You're all right 
You're all right 
You're all right 
You're all right
