First release by: George Baker Selection - 1969



Lookin' back on the track for a little green bag 
Got to find just a kind or losin' my mind 
Outside in the night, outside in the day 
Lookin' back on the track gonna do it my way 
Outside in the night, outside in the day 
Lookin' back on the track gonna do it my way

Lookin' for some happiness 
But there is so a loneliness to find 
Turn to the left turn to the right 
Lookin' upstairs lookin' behind

Turn to the left turn to the right 
Lookin' upstairs lookin' behind ...

Make It Good
Composer(s): Dennis Wilson; Darryl Dragon
Performer(s): The Beach Boys



Look at me
Funny face
That's not you
A wrinkled nose
A tear
You're crying

Oh
Rest your head
Cry on me
Don't be afraid
I'll stay with you
I know you'll make it
And you'll make it good
And you'll make it good
And you'll make it good

All of my life
I haven't known much
All I know
Is what I feel
And what I feel
And what I feel
Love
I'm in love
Love
Love

Ooo

Little Green Apples
Composer(s): Bobby Russell
First release by: Roger Miller - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists



And I wake up in the mornin' 
With my hair down in my eyes and she says "Hi" 
And I stumble to the breakfast table 
While the kids are goin' off to school…goodbye 
And she reaches out 'n' takes my hand 
And squeezes it 'n' says "How ya feelin', hon?" 
And I look across at smilin' lips 
That warm my heart and see my mornin' sun 
 
And if that's not lovin' me 
Then all I've got to say 
God didn't make little green apples 
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime 
And there's no such thing as Doctor Seuss 
Or Disneyland, and Mother Goose, no nursery rhyme 
God didn't make little green apples 
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime 
And when my self is feelin' low 
I think about her face aglow and ease my mind 
 
Sometimes I call her up at home knowin' she's busy 
And ask her if she could get away and meet me 
And maybe we could grab a bite to eat 
And she drops what she's doin' and she hurries down to meet me 
And I'm always late 
But she sits waitin' patiently and smiles when she first sees me 
'cause she's made that way 
 
And if that ain't lovin' me 
Then all I've got to say 
God didn't make little green apples 
And it don't snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes 
And there's no such thing as make-believe 
Puppy dogs, autumn leaves 'n' BB guns 
 
God didn't make little green apples 
And it don't rain in Indianapolis

Make It Easy On Yourself 
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David
Originally performed by: Jerry Butler
Covered by various other artists



Oh, breaking up is so very hard to do

If you really love him
And there's nothing I can do 
Don't try to spare my feelings 
Just tell me that we're through 

And make it easy on yourself 
Make it easy on yourself 
'Cause breaking up is so very hard to do 

And if the way I hold him 
Can't compare to his caress 
No words of consolation 
Will make me miss him less

My darling, if this is goodbye 
I just know I'm gonna cry 
So run to him 
Before you start crying too

And make it easy on yourself 
Make it easy on yourself 
'Cause breaking up is so very hard to do

Oh, baby, it's so hard to do

And make it easy on yourself 
Make it easy on yourself 
'Cause breaking up is so very hard to do

Little Green
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
Performer(s): Joni Mitchell; Lesley Olsher



Born with the moon in Cancer
Choose her a name she will answer to
Call her green and the winters cannot fade her
Call her green for the children who've made her
Little green, be a gypsy dancer

He went to California
Hearing that everything's warmer there
So you write him a letter and say, "Her eyes are blue"
He sends you a poem and she's lost to you
Little green, he's a non-conformer

Just a little green
Like the color when the spring is born
There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow
Just a little green
Like the nights when the Northern lights perform
There'll be icicles and birthday clothes
And sometimes there'll be sorrow

Child with a child pretending
Weary of lies you are sending home
So you sign all the papers in the family name
You're sad and you're sorry, but you're not ashamed
Little green, have a happy ending

Just a little green
Like the color when the spring is born
There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow
Just a little green
Like the nights when the Northern lights perform
There'll be icicles and birthday clothes
And sometimes there'll be sorrow

Make It Another Old-Fashioned, Please
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Ethel Merman
and various other artists



Since I went on the wagon, I'm certain drink is a major crime
For when you lay off the liquor, you feel so much slicker
Well that is, most of the time
But there are moments, sooner or later
When it's tough, I got to say, love to say ... Waiter

Make it another old-fashioned, please
Make it another, double, old-fashioned, please
Make it for one who's due to join the disillusion crew
Make it for one of love's new refugees

Once high in my castle, I ran to you
And oh what a castle, built on a heavenly dream
Then quick as a lightning flash, that castle began to crash
So, make it another old-fashioned, please

Leave out the cherry 
Leave out the orange 
Leave out the bitters
Just make it straight, right

Little Girl So Fine
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen - Steve Van zandt
Performer(s): Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes; The Drifters



After the music had stopped
I still heard it playing
I moved a little closer to hear
The words she was saying
She said I'll never break your heart
I'll never try to fake it
My love is here for you
All you have to do is take it
Kisses sweeter than wine
My little girl so fine

The night seemed to say it was right
But could I believe her
My heart said, it's time to go
But my eyes wouldn't leave her
There's always somebody trying to break your heart
Somebody trying to take it
My little girl tried so hard
To help me make it
Kisses sweeter than wine
My little girl so fine

Oh, oh, oh, oh, sha la la
Oh, oh, sha la la
So fine
Oh, oh, oh, oh, sha la la
Oh, oh, sha la la
So fine

When we danced
I forgot everything and whispered
Hold me tight
Take a chance
On what tomorrow brings
Won't you be mine, be mine
Be mine tonight

We walked away laughing together
Into the night for ever and ever and ever
Now I know
I'll never break me baby's heart
I'll never try to fake it
I'll give her all my love
All she has to do is take it
Kisses sweeter than wine
My little girl so fine
Kisses sweeter than wine
My little girl so fine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Kisses sweeter than wine
My little girl so fine

Oh, oh, oh, oh, sha la la
Oh, oh, sha la la
So fine

Make It
Composer(s): Steven Tyler

Good evening people welcome to the show
Got something here I want you all to know
When life and people bring on primal screams
You've got to think of what it's gonna take to make your dreams

Make it
Don't break it
I said make it
Don't break it...... if ya do
Then ya feel like the world's coming down on you

You know that history repeats itself
What you just done so has somebody else
You know you do you gotta think the past
You gotta think of what it's gonna take to make it last

Make it
Don't fake it
Said make it
Don't break it..... if ya do
Bad weather pull yourself together
Don't be catchin' the blues
Bad weather pull yourself together
What have you got to lose
You're only payin' your dues

Yeaaaa.... dues is the price that you gotta pay
If you don't it gets you anyway
Although you know what you've been goin' through
You're on the brink so think what it takes to.....

Make it
Don't break it
I said make it
Don't fake it..... if ya do
Bad weather pull yourself together
Don't be catchin' the blues
Bad weather pull yourself together
What have you got to lose

Dedeliddle liddle...

Oh, litle girl of mine
You sure look fine
Yes, you appeal to me
I'll never set you free

Be my loving baby
Til the end of time
I can't seem to get you
Off my mind

The boys all roll their eyes
As we go strolling by
It's not so hard to see
That they all envy me

'Cause your loving baby
You belong to me
That's the way it was
Meant to be

Oh, well, now I know
I love you so
I'll never, ever let you go
I need your love, oh, so much
I thrill to your touch

Oh, well, now I know
I love you so
I'll never, ever let you go
I need your love, oh, so much
I thrill to your touch

So, little girl, stay true
That's all I ask of you
Be mine and mine alone
Don't leave your happy home

'Cause I love you, baby
And I always will
You're my one and only thrill

Oh, my baby, my honey ...

Make 'Em Laugh 
Composer(s): Nacio Herb Brown; Arthur Freed
Performer(s): Donald O'Connor



Make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh 
Don't you know all the world wants to laugh, aha! 
My dad said be an actor my son
but be a comical one! 
They'll be standing in lines 
For those old honky tonk monkey shines! 

Now you can study Shakespeare and be quite alight
and you can charm the critics and have nothing to eat
Just slip on a banana peel
The worlds at your feet! 
Make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh!  

Make... make em laugh
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh
My grandpa said go out and tell em a joke
But give it plenty of hope! 

Make em roar, make em scream
Take a fall but a Walsh would it seem
It's not of by pretending you're a dancer with grace
You wiggle till they giggle and all over the place
And then you get a great big custard pie in the face
Make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh! 

They'll be standing in lines
For those old honky tonk monkey shines
ahahahahahahahahahaha! 
Make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh! 
Make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh!

Little Girl Lies 
Composer(s): Debbie Harry
First release by: Blondie - 1976



She loves you right now, so don't close your eyes
She'll be talking and laughing, with six other guys
Flirtatious and cute she'll take you in a group
Telling little girl lies
He loves her so much
He don't wanna loose her
And there's no other girl he likes to ball better
But he's busy tonight
We'll make it tomorrow
He's telling his little girl lies
That's how the little girl lies
He's telling his little girl lies
Those little girl lies gonna catch up to you, and you'll be sorry
Making excuses why she can't meet you later
She's not really ill someone else got to date her
Mixed up and confused it'll catch up to you
Telling little girl lies
They tell the little girl"lies
He's telling his little girl lies
That's how your little girl lies
She's been telling you little girl lies
That's how his little girl lies
She been telling him little girl lies
Those little girl lies gonna catch up to you, and you'll be sorry
Boo, hoo!

Pour l'amitié
L'amitié entre hommes et femmes
Impensable
Parce que, il y a toujours
Sous jacent
Le désir animal

This is the story of
Melody Nelson
Apart from me no one
Ever took her in his arms
Under her thumb
Eyes in the sun

Oh my Melody mine
Oh my Melody mine

She has nothing but love
Poor
Melody Nelson
Her life was more said than done
But her days were numbered
(?Nil?) Count fourteen falls
Fifteen on calls

A baby tiger was
Melody Nelson
Forever purring in the sun
Just as dangerous as a child
With a gun, shooting me down

Oh my Melody mine
Melody Nelson
Still playing hurting games for fun
As adorable as dumb
Deaf to the sound
To what's going down
Down
Down

Little Girl Gone
Composer(s): Donna Fargo
Performer(s): Donna Fargo



It just took a little while
For me to get my head together
Growing up's the hardest thing I've ever done

Here I am like a stranger
In the house I grew up in
And learned right from wrong and if I did
Where the sun never shined enough
And daddy's growing older
And mother's never dying, but she did

And I remember feeling guilty
Cause I couldn't wait to leave here
Though I loved them every way that I knew how
So I packed up all my yesterdays
And headed for tomorrow
It's almost tomorrow now

And daddy's little girl is home
But where's the little girl gone
She bundled up her dirty jeans
The teenie bopper magazines
In search of what her life was all about
With a little rag doll named Charlie Brown
And an old suit case full of hand me downs
And a loneliness she knew so much about

And now the dreams that I trusted
And all the play things have rusted
But here I am a woman, somehow
And all those growing pains of yesterday
Are gonna get me through tomorrow
Cause it's almost tomorrow now

And daddy's little girl is home
But where's the little girl gone
She bundled up her dirty jeans
The teenie bopper magazines
In search of what her life was all about
With a little rag doll named Charlie Brown
And an old suit case full of hand me downs
And a loneliness she knew so much about

Oh, but I can still remember
When I used to gaze out this window
Wondering who I was and what I would become
And it just took a little while for me
To get my head together
Growing up's the hardest thing I've ever done

Ah, yes, I can still remember

When I used to gaze out this window
Wondering who I was and what I would become
And it just took a little while for me
To get my head together
Growing up's the hardest thing I've ever done

Performer(s): Nora Bayes
and various other artists



There are times when you feel sad and blue
Something's wrong, you don't know what to do
When you feel that way, stop and think awhile
Just make believe and smile

Make believe you are glad when you're sorry
Sunshine will follow the rain
When things go wrong, it won't be long
Soon they'll be right again

Tho' your love dreams have gone, make believe, don't let on
Smile tho' your heart may be broken
For when bad luck departs, you will find good luck starts
Don't grieve, just make believe

When your dearest friends have turned away
And blue skies above have turned to gray
Don't worry for it may not all be true
Here's my advice to you

Make believe you are glad when you're sorry
Sunshine will follow the rain
When things go wrong, it won't be long
Soon they'll be right again

Tho' your love dreams have gone, make believe, don't let on
Smile tho' your heart may be broken
For when bad luck departs, you will find good luck starts
Don't grieve, just make believe

Little Girl Feeling
Composer(s): Helen Cornelius - Jerry Crutchfield
Performer(s): Barbara Fairchild



I put on my faded blue jeans, the patches on the pockets
Tied yellow ribbons 'round the pigtails in my hair
Walked barefoot 'neath the sunshine, stopped to pick a flower
But that little girl feeling wasn't there

Can't find that little girl feeling
It's not the same anymore
I just can't hook it, yesterday took it
Since you came in and out my door
Can't find the feeling anymore

I got out all my old records by Elvis and the Beatles
Called my best friend and we talked an hour or so
Thought back through childhood memories, trying to forget you
But still those big girl heartaches wouldn't go

I went out to see a movie, sat right on the front row
Ate a box of popcorn and I cheered the hero on
But when the show was over I just went to pieces
That little girl feeling was gone

Can't find that little girl feeling
It's not the same anymore
I just can't hook it, yesterday took it
Since you came in and out my door
Can't find the feeling anymore

Make Believe 
Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Jimmie Lunceford
and various other artists



The game of "just supposing" is the sweetest game I know
Our dreams are more romantic than the world we see
And if the things we dream about don't happen to be so
That's just an unimportant technicality....

We could make believe I love you
Only make believe that you love me
Others find peace of mind in pretending
Couldn't you? Couldn't I? Couldn't we
Make believe our lips are blending
In a phantom kiss, or two, or three?
Might as well make believe I love you
For to tell the truth, I do

Your pardon I pray, 'twas too much to say
The words that betray my heart
We only pretend, you do not offend
In playing a lover's part

Though the cold and brutal fact is you and I have never met
We need not mind convention's P's and Q's
If we put our thoughts in practice we can banish all regret
Imagining most anything we choose....

We could make believe I love you
Only make believe that you love me
Others find peace of mind in pretending
Couldn't you? Couldn't I? Couldn't we
Make believe our lips are blending
In a phantom kiss or two, or three?
Might as well make believe I love you
For to tell the truth, I do

Little Girl Blue
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Lorenz Hart
First performance by: Gloria Grafton - 1935
Covered by multiple other artists



When I was very young
The world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel

The circus tent was strung
With every star in the sky
Above the ring I loved so well

Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the tinsel and gold

Sit there, and count your fingers
What can you do?
Old girl, you're through
Sit there, and count your little fingers
Unlucky, litle girl blue

Sit there, and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on is the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue

No use, old girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender
Blue boy
To cheer little girl blue?

No use, old girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender
Blue boy
To cheer little girl blue?

Make A Little Magic
Composer(s): Bob Carpenter; Jeff Hanna; Richard Hathaway
Performer(s): The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band; Nicolette Larson



I don't need the same excuses 
All this talk is really useless 
You run for cover 
Everytime I'm close to you 

Don't want to hear about the others 
There's something here we should discover 
Let's make a little magic 
Before the night is through 

Oh, you've seen it all before 
And heard the same lines 
But if you're willing to take a chance 
It could be all right, so fine 
We'll find ourselves dancing by firelight

So don't you try to change the subject 
Or try to put yourself above it
A boy could get pneumonia sitting next to you 
That's true 

A little sleep is all we're losing 
It's up to us to do the choosing 
Let's make a little magic before the night is through 
Make a little magic before the night is through 

Ooh, to the blue skies 
Where no one can reach us 
It may sound crazy but just hold on tight
Never has a love run deeper 
Baby my heart is true 
Baby my heart is true 

A little sleep is all we're losing 
It's up to us to do the choosing 
Let's make a little magic before the night is through
