The King Is Coming Composer(s): Bill Gaither - Gloria Gaither Performer(s): Ray Boltz and multiple other artists
The marketplace is empty No more traffic in the streets All the builders' tools are silent No more time to harvest wheat Busy housewives cease their labors In the courtroom no debate Work on earth is all suspended As the King comes thro' the gate
O the King is coming The King is coming! I just heard the trumpets sounding And now His face I see O the King is coming The King is coming! Praise God, He's coming for me!
Happy faces line the hallways Those whose lives have been redeemed Broken homes that He has mended Those from prison He has freed Little children and the aged Hand in hand stand all aglow Who were crippled, broken, ruined Clad in garments white as snow
O the King is coming The King is coming! I just heard the trumpets sounding And now His face I see O the King is coming The King is coming! Praise God, He's coming for me!
I can hear the chariots rumble I can see the marching throng The flurry of God's trumpets Spells the end of sin and wrong Regal robes are now unfolding Heaven's grandstand's all in place Heaven's choir now assembled Start to sing "Amazing Grace!"
O the King is coming The King is coming! I just heard the trumpets sounding And now His face I see O the King is coming The King is coming! Praise God, He's coming for me!
All I Need Is You Composer(s): Webb Pierce Performer(s): Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton and multiple other artists
Find the loneliest girl in a thousand Find the saddest eyes you've ever seen Find someone who's always longing for you Find that man and you found me
And all I need is you all I want is you To give my loving to all I need is you
Find a man who wakes up every morning And lives in a world of make believe Find someone who's arms are aching for you You find that girl and you found me
And all I need is you all I want is you To give my loving to all I need is you
You're with me now so let the world forsake us I've found my heaven here within your arms And nothing in this world can separate us You're all I ever wanted all along
And all I need is you all I want is you To give my loving to all I need is you
Touch Of Yesterday Composer(s): Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens Performer(s): Ferlin Husky and multiple other artists
I'd beg and steal if I could feel a touch of yesterday Oh what I'd give if I could live a touch of yesterday The rain's been falling since he's been gone It's gonna rain until he come back home The hurt would leave if I could brieve a touch of yesterday (A touch of yesterday) The rain's been falling... Oh what I'd give if I could live a touch of yesterday
Dentist
Composer(s): Alan Menken - Howard Ashman
Performer(s): Steve Martin & Bill Murray
When I was young and just a bad little kid My momma noticed funny things I did Like shootin' puppies with a BB-Gun I'd poison guppies, and when I was done I'd find a pussy-cat and bash in its head That's when my momma said... (What did she say?) She said my boy I think someday You'll find a way To make your natural tendencies pay...
You'll be a dentist You have a talent for causing things pain! Son, be a dentist People will pay you to be inhumane!
You're temperment's wrong for the priesthood And teaching would suit you still less Son, be a dentist You'll be a success
"Here he is folks, the leader of the plaque" "Watch him suck up that gas Oh My God!" "He's a dentist and he'll never ever be any good" "Who wants their teeth done by the Marquis DeSade?"
"Oh, that hurts! Wait! I'm not numb!" "Eh, Shut Up! Open Wide! Here I Come!"
I am your dentist And I enjoy the career that I picked I'm your dentist And I get off on the pain I inflict!
When I start extracting those mollars Girls, you'll be screaming like holy rollers
And though it may cause my patients distress Somewhere...Somewhere in heaven above me... I know...I know that my momma's proud of me "Oh, Momma..."
I Threw Away The Rose Composer(s): Merle Haggard First release by: Merle Haggard & The Strangers - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
Once I lived the life of wine and roses And I drank a lot back then for one concern Success for me lay just around the corner I thought my social friends would help me make the turn
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses A victim of the drunken life I chose Now all my social friends look down their noses 'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me The turn I made was not the one I'd planned And I watched my social standings slip away from me While I watched the bottle slowly take command
And now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses A victim of the drunken life I chose Now all my social friends look down their noses 'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose 'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
Dennis The Menace
Composer(s): Al Hoffman - Dick Manning
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney; Jimmy Boyd
Dennis, the menace, he's a bundle of dynamite Oh, the things he says and the things he does Will make you shake with fright (Beware of) Dennis the menace Oh, you'd better be on your toes There is bound to be a calamity no matter where he goes His mom and dad get nervous Whenever he's too quiet They never know what will happen next A cyclone, flood or rot Dennis the menace, though he makes your hair turn gray When he looks at you with those eyes of blue He'll steal your heart away
Last night I got a spanking I don't know what to think 'Cause all I did was fill my water pistol full of ink Now I ask you did mommy have to yell at me like that Just because I watered all those flowers on her hat My daddy love to ride in planes 'Way high up in the sky He didn't see my roller skates And oh boy, did he fly We were playing train with daddy's chair Me and another kid My daddy said, "now, break it up" So that's just what we did
Dennis, the menace, he's a bundle of dynamite Oh, the things he says and the things he does Will make you shake with fright (Beware of) Dennis the menace Oh, you'd better be on your toes There is bound to be a calamity no matter where he goes His mom and dad get nervous Whenever he's too quiet They never know what will happen next A cyclone, flood or rot Dennis the menace, though he makes your hair turn gray When he looks at you with those eyes of blue He'll steal your heart away
Woman Let Me Sing You A Song Composer(s): Harlan Howard Performer(s): Lefty Frizzell; Waylon Jennings; Vernon Oxford
Woman let me sing you a song Woman let me sing you a song That tells how you've done me wrong So it's your fault if it's long Woman let me sing you a song The neighbors say I run around The neighbors say I run around But baby if I do I'm miles back off you Woman let me sing you a song My banker count is almost gone My banker count is almost gone You're wearing furs and rings while I wear old blue jeans Woman let me sing you a song
You tell your friends I drink too much Now the whole town knows I drink too much But the reason why I drink is the thought you make me think Woman let me sing you a song I'm leaving and you think I'll be back I'm leaving but you think I'll be back Here's my advice to you Don't stop breathing till I do Woman let me sing you a song Woman I done sang you my song Woman I done sang you my song

Denn Wie Man Sich Bettet
Composer(s): Bertolt Brecht - Kurt Weill
Performer(s): Lotte Lenya
Meine Herren, meine Mutter prägte Auf mich einst ein schlimmes Wort Ich würde enden im Schauhaus Oder an einem noch schlimmern Ort Ja, so ein Wort, das ist leicht gesagt Aber ich sage euch: Daraus wird nichts! Das könnt ihr nicht machen mit mir! Was aus mir noch wird, das werdet ihr schon sehen! Ein Mensch ist kein Tier!
Denn wie man sich bettet, so liegt man Es deckt einen da keiner zu Und wenn einer tritt, dann bin ich es Und wird einer getreten, dann bists du
Meine Herren, mein Freund, der sagte Mir damals ins Gesicht "Das Größte auf Erden ist Liebe" Und "An morgen denkt man da nicht" Ja, Liebe, das ist leicht gesagt Aber wenn man täglich älter wird Da wird nicht nach Liebe gefragt Da muß man seine kurze Zeit benützen Ein Mensch ist kein Tier!
Denmark Street Composer(s): Ray Davies Performer(s): The Kinks
Down the way from the tottenham court road Just round the corner from old soho There's a place where the publishers go If you don't know which way to go Just open your ears and follow your nose 'cos the street is shakin' from the tapping of toes You can hear that music play anytime on any day Every rhythm, every way You got to a publisher and play him your song He says 'I hate your music and you hair is too long But I'll sign you up because I'd hate to be wrong' You've got a tune it's in your head you want to get it placed So you take it up to a music man just to see what he will say He says 'I hate the tune, I hate the words but I'll tell you what I'll do I'll sign you up and take it round the street and see if it makes the grade' And you might even hear it played on the rock 'n' roll hit parade Daytime, night time, every week you can hear that heavy beat Now the walls are shaking from the tapping of feet Daytime, night time, every day you can hear that music play

You want me to love just you while you love your share Ain't that being a little unfair It's me stay home while you stay gone till you decide to care Ain't that being a little unfair?

I can't see how it can be anything for me What's mine is yours but what's yours is yours That's how you wanted to be You want me to wait for you till you decide to care Ain't that being a little unfair?...

Life Turned Her That Way Composer(s): Harlan Howard First release by: "Little" Jimmy Dickens - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists
If she seems cold and bitter, I beg of you Stop and consider all she's been through Don't be quick to condemn her for things she might say Woah, don't blame her, life turned her that way
She's been walked on and stepped on so many times And I hate to admit it, but that last footprint's mine She was crying when I met her, she cries harder today Woah, don't blame her, life turned her that way

Free and easy, that's my style Howdy-do me, watch me smile Fare-thee-well me after a while 'Cause I gotta roam And any place I hang my hat is home
Sweetenin' water, cherry wine Thank you kindly, suits me fine Kansas City, Caroline That's my honeycomb 'Cause any place I hang my hat is home
Birds roostin' in a tree Pick up and go, and the goin' proves That's how it oughta be I pick up too when the spirit moves me Cross the river, 'round the bend "Hello stranger!", "So long friend!" There's a voice in the lonesome wind That keeps whisp'ring, "Roam!" I'm going where a welcome mat is No matter where that is 'Cause any place I hang my hat is home
Den Sköna Helén (aka Eller Flickan I Peru) Composer(s): Benjamin Russel Hanby - Evert Taube
Nu jag sjunger om ett annat land och om en annan kust Och om minnen från min ungdomsflydda dar Det är sången om den flickan som i glädje nöd och lust Lovat älska den hon redan svikit har
Vilka dagar vilka stunder utav kärlek sol och sång Vilka nätter uti silvermånens glans Och i skuggan ut av palmer har vi vandrat mången gång Större lycka på jorden aldrig fanns
Och min älskling i Peru Jag är alltid ensam nu Med min sorg min längtan och min melodi Ingen sjunger nu som förr du sjöng för mig i Tapalque Och min sköna, min älskade Helene
Ack när vågor sakta viskar i vår vik i Tapalque Solen sjunker i Stilla havets famn Sitter jag här upp i Nordens land och värmer mina ben Framför brasan i mitt rum på Östermalm
Ensam glömd av alla och likså av den jag älskat mest Och förutan annan tröst uti min sorg Än det hoppet att få hyran ut till våren om igen Ombord i skeppet Gripen ifrån Göteborg
Och min älskling i Peru Jag är alltid ensam nu Med min sorg min längtan och min melodi Ingen sjunger nu som förr du sjöng för mig i Tapalque Och min sköna, min älskade Helene
