Little Pony Composer(s): Jon Hendricks - Neal Hefti Performer(s): The Pointer Sisters and multiple other artists
I said hurry up, dig a little pony I know Say that so I said hurry up, dig a little pony, we'll blow Ride, ride, ride
He's blowin' pretty, what a musical treat Say that so Look at him, blowin' steady, what a wonderful beat Ride, ride, ride
Hurry up, hurry up Do me the ditty up Hurry up, hurry up Go wake the city up Hurry up, hurry up Once more I wanna repeat
People pass word He's the last word That's the mass word They don't dig 'til he's big, then they wig
Wanna say a lot about a little pony Wanna celebrate the night the pony booted up the big beat And by the time he got to cookin' everybody started lookin'
Well I can't stop telling about what he was doin' To blow as though his heart was in it every minute Singin' a pretty kind of sound, really givin' every pound Neve acting like the greatest cat around
Every body dug him and he had 'em really drinking Like the did a lot of swiggin' from a gallon jug And then he cooled a while, sentimental style
Later on a little while he had 'em swinging, stompin' the floor Little pony went a ridin', illustratin' what a horn was for Had 'em comin' back for more, when they added up the score It was joy galore!
Been down east, did up the west Come to find, this little pony's the best Blow your horn, do up the sound Sing your song, you're really puttin' it down
Well, a little bit of listenin' with a passable ear We'll get an awful lot of messages anywhere
Ride, pony ride, Be my wailing guide Keep on singin', I dig, you're bringin' the word Go pony, go, put me in the know Dig me wiggin', that way, you're diggin' I heard
If anybody ever made it out to the coast They can tell ya what I'm talkin' about Little pony wailin' on the alto saxophone Holler giddyup and gallop
Ball, pony, ball, don't be slow at all Don't bashful, be like you're blowing for me
Gotta get along speedily Got to get along, and do the coda It's really the end, you see Well thanks a lot, but pretty baby I must quit this scene If you know what I mean
Don't be quittin', just when you're hittin' the peak Get a record that'll play all week Could be good bebop, could be!

The joys of love The joys of love Are but a moment strong The pain of love endures A whole life long
His eyes kissed mine I saw the love in them shine A rainbow brightened my window Such love divine
And now he's gone Like a dream that melts with the dawn His memory stays locked in my heartstrings He was ne'er mine

You'd rather have wine than gin Only the finest by your skin Always running after Time - catching You're fancy with rhyme Shining on the front page again
Hot on the presses today - little queen Making your passion play - little queen Nobody knows your melancholy mind Little queen
Away from the sellers, the papers said Your crown was tight and heavy on your head Still you danced and you sang - all night The telephone rang Music kept on playing from your pen
Hot on the presses today - little queen Making your passion play - little queen Nobody knows your melancholy mind Little queen
Raining Raining- he knows your Soul ain't free Raining Raining- he feels you little queen
Slipping away with your gypsy band Hot on your music and playing a winning hand He was standing in the line, thinking how you Moved his mind Feeling like he held you in his hand

Toutes Les Mêmes ((Adapted from: Love Is All (by Roger Glover) - 1974)) Composer(s): Roger Glover - Eddie Hardin - Vline Buggy - Claude Carrère Performer(s): Sacha Distel - 1976
Plus légères et frêles que les gazelles Plus gracieuses qu'un vol de papillon Elles font le beau temps comme les coccinelles Et roucoulent comme les pigeons Elles sont bavardes et belles comme les perruches Prévoyantes aussi comme les fourmis Nous laissent tomber comme des ours en peluche Pour suivre un bel oiseau de nuit
Toutes les mêmes, toutes les mêmes Et pourtant on ne peut pas s'en passer Toutes les mêmes oui mais on les aime et rien ne peut les remplacer
Pour elles nous sommes toujours des phénomènes Plus maladroits que des éléphants Dans un magasin de porcelaine, quand on les trompe en passant
Toutes les mêmes, toutes les mêmes Et pourtant on ne peut pas s'en passer Toutes les mêmes oui mais on les aime et rien ne peut les remplacer
Plus bohèmes encore que les cigales, elles adorent danser la nuit Mais ces petites chattes ont pour elle une morale Trouver le matou de leur vie
Toutes les mêmes, toutes les mêmes Et pourtant on ne peut pas s'en passer Toutes les mêmes, elles sont toutes les mêmes Et pourtant on ne peut pas s'en passer
Little Queenie ((Dutch Version: Kleine Dinie (by Normaal) - 1982)) Composer(s): Chuck Berry First release by: Chuck Berry - 1959 Covered by multiple other artists
I got lumps in my throat When I saw her comin' down the aisle I got the wiggles in my knees When she looked at me and sweetly smiled
There she is again Standin' over by the record machine Lookin' like a model On the cover of a magazine She's too cute To be a minute over seventeen
Meanwhile I's thinkin'...
She's in the mood No need'n break it I got a chance I oughta take it If she'll dance We can make it C'mon Queenie, Let's shake it
Go, go, go, Little Queenie Go, go, go, Little Queenie Go, go, go, Little Queenie
Tell me who's the queen Standin' over by the record machine Lookin' like a model On the cover of a magazine She's too cute To be a minute over seventeen
Meanwhile, I was still thinkin'...
If it's a slow song We'll omit it If it's a rocker, that'll get it And if it's good, she'll admit it C'mon queenie, let's get with it
Go, go, go, Little Queenie Go, go, go, Little Queenie Go, go, go, Little Queenie
Love Is All Composer(s): Barry Mason - Les Reed Performer(s): Malcolm Roberts
Yesterday, I knew the games to play I thought I knew the way life was meant to be But now there's you My foolish games are through Now at last I have found Just what makes this old world turn around
Love is all I have to give Love is all as long as I shall live Take it all And I'll always be there when you call my name I know now that love is all
Every night I long to hold you tight Until the morning light Shines into your eyes, love me now We'll get along somehow Won't you please take my hand And together forever we'll stand
Love is all I have to give Love is all as long as I shall live Take it all And I'll always be there when you call my name I know now that love is all

The Little Red Caboose Behind The Train Performer(s): Paul Warmack & His Gully Jumpers
I am growing old and weary And my sight is getting dim I have laid my links and pins away to rust And the only friend that's left to me In this wide world to stand Is the Little Red Caboose Behind The Train
Oh, I'm growing old and feeble now And my sight is getting dim And I cannot see those signals anymore I can hear those whistles blowing And I know I'll soon be going To a better home I know that's far away
There are young ones coming on It is time for me to go They'll be pestered with the rain, the sleet and snow And they'll find a heap of trouble When those hills they have to double With the Little Red Caboose Behind The Train

I have a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for day I have a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for day Keep everything in the barnyard, upset in every way

Little Sadie ((aka Transfusion Blues (by Johnny Cash) - 1960; Cocaine Blues (by George Thorogood & The Destroyers) - 1978)) (Traditional) First release by: Hedy West - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
Went out last night, had a look around I met little Sadie and I blowed her down I ran right home and went to bed With a 45 smokeless under my head
I began to think what a deed I'd done So I grabbed my hat and away I run I made a good run but I ran too slow They overtook me down in Jericho
Standing on the corner ringing my bell When up stepped the sheriff of Thomasville He said young man, is your name Brown? Are you the man that blowed little Sadie down?
Oh yes sir my name is Lee I murdered little Sadie in first degree First degree, second degree You got any papers will you send them to me?
Took me downtown and they dressed me in black They put me on a train and they brought me back Had no-one to go my bail So they crammed me back into the county jail
The judge and jury took their stand The judge had the papers in his hand 41 days and 41 nights And 41 years to wear the ball and stripes
Little Sally One Shoe Composer(s): J. Fred Coots - Jack Winters Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney
Pretty little Sally You're 6 years old today And it's time you paid attention To what I have to say
Little Sally One Shoe that's your name Always losing one shoe, what a shame Don't you know that people watch your feet When you walk along the street
Little Sally One Shoe, you've been told When you take your shoes off you catch cold Mommy makes you stay in bed all day And you can't go out to play
Your cat and your doggie Wear no shoes because Your cat and your doggie Don't need shoes for their paws
So when you get your new shoes, black or white Keep your pretty new shoes shiny bright Little Sally One Shoe, don't go losing one shoe Maybe keep your two shoes on
Your cat and your doggie Wear no shoes because Your cat and your doggie Don't need shoes for their paws
So when you get your new shoes, black or white Keep your pretty new shoes shiny bright Little Sally One Shoe, don't go losing one shoe Learn to keep your two shoes on
Love Is A Simple Thing Composer(s): June Carroll - Arthur Siegel Performer(s): Debbie Reynolds
Poets write fancy things about love But they don't have no call Love is like birth or death or taxes Love just is, that's all
Love is a simple thing, love is a silver ring Shiny as a ribbon bow, soft as a quiet snow Love is a nursery rhyme, old as the tick of time Love is so many things, bright as an angel's wings
Gentle as the morning light, long as a winter night Love makes an old heart sing And it fills ev'ry empty space, love is a warming place Love is a simple thing
Love is a simple thing, love is a magic ring Much more fun than mistletoe, gay as a puppet show Love is the thunder and rain, swift as a soaring plane Love is a summer moon, gay as a big balloon
Young as a calliope, wild as a storm at sea Love is a touch of spring It's as sweet as a first embrace, love is a special place Love is a simple thing

Little Jimmy Walker, sittin' in a saucer Weepin' and a-moanin' like a turtle dove Rise Jimmy rise, wipe your weepin' eyes Turn to the east, turn to the west Turn to the one that you love the best
Love Is A Rose Composer(s): Neil Young First release by: Linda Ronstadt - 1975 Covered by multiple other artists
Love is a rose but you better not pick it Only grows when it's on the vine Handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it Lose your love when you say the word mine
I wanna see what's never been seen I wanna live that age-old dream Come on boy let's go together Let's take the best right now
Love is a rose but you better not pick it Only grows when it's on the vine Handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it Lose your love when you say the word mine
I wanna go to an old hoedown Long ago in a western town Pick me up 'cause my feet are dragging Give me a lift and I'll hay your wagon
Love is a rose but you better not pick it Only grows when it's on the vine Handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it Lose your love when you say the word mine
Love is a rose but you better not pick it Only grows when it's on the vine Handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it Lose your love when you say the word mine
Mine
Love is a rose Love is a rose Love is a rose Love is a rose
Love is a rose Love is a rose Love is a rose Love is a rose Love is a rose Love is a rose Love is a rose Love is a rose Love is a rose Love is a rose
