The Little Turtle
Composer(s): Vachel Lindsay - Albert Hague
Performer(s): Burl Ives



There was a little turtle
He lived in a box
He swam in a puddle
He climbed upon the rocks
He snapped at a mosquito
He snapped at a flea
He snapped at a minnow
And he snapped at me
He caught the mosquito
He caught the flea
He caught the minnow
But he didn't catch me!

Making Memories Of Us
Composer(s): Rodney Crowell
Performer(s): Keith Urban
and various other artists



I'm gonna be here for you baby
I'll be a man of my own word
Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard
I wanna sleep with you forever
And I wanna die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us

I wanna honor your mother
And I wanna learn from your pa
I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw
I wanna stand out in a crowd for you
A man among men
I wanna make your world better than it's ever been

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us

We'll follow the rainbow
Wherever the four winds blow
And there'll be a new day
Coming your way
I'm gonna be here for you from now on
This you know somehow
You've been stretched to the limits but it's alright now

And I'm gonna make you a promise
If there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm, wet kiss

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us
And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll win your trust making memories of us

Little Town In The Ould County Down
Composer(s): Monte Carlo
Performer(s): Andy Cooney
and multiple other artists



Sure if I had the wings of a swallow I would travel far over the sea
And a rocky old road I would follow to a place that is heaven to me
When the sun goes to rest way down in the west
Then I'll build such a nest in the place I love best

In that dear little town in the old County Down
It will linger way down in my heart
Tho it never was grand it is my fairy land 
Just a wonderful world set apart
O my island of dreams you are with me it seems
And I care not for fame or renown
Like the black sheep of old I'll return to the fold
Little town in the old County Down

In the evening when shadows are falling
'Round the old door without any key
There's a voice in my dreams ever calling
There are eyes ever watching for me
There is someone I bless with true tenderness
And her lips I'll caress when I bring happiness

In that dear little town in the old County Down
It will linger way down in my heart
Tho it never was grand it is my fairy land 
Just a wonderful world set apart
O my island of dreams you are with me it seems
And I care not for fame or renown
Like the black sheep of old I'll return to the fold
Little town in the old County Down

Making Love Out Of Nothing At All
Composer(s): Jim Steinman
Originally performed by: Air Supply
Covered by various other artists



I know just how to whisper
And I know just how to cry
I know just where to find the answers
And I know just how to lie
I know just how to fake it
And I know just how to scheme
I know just when to face the truth
And then I know just when to dream

And I know just where to touch you
And I know just what to prove
I know when to pull you closer
And I know when to let you loose
And I know the night is fading
And I know the time's gonna fly
And I'm never gonna tell you
Everything I gotta tell you
But I know I gotta give it a try

And I know the roads to riches
And I know the ways to fame
I know all the rules
And I know how to break 'em
And I always know the name of the game

But I don't know how to leave you
And I'll never let you fall
And I don't know how you do it
Making love out of nothing at all

Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all,
Making love out of nothing at all

Everytime I see you all the rays of the sun
Are streaming through the waves in your hair
And every star in the sky is taking aim at your eyes
Like a spotlight

The beating of my heart is a drum and it's lost
And it's looking for a rhythm like you
You can take the darkness from the pit of the night
And turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright

I've gotta follow it 'cause everything I know
Well it's nothing till I give it to you

I can make the runner stumble
I can make the final block
I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle
I can make all the stadiums rock
I can make tonight forever
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn
I can make every promise that has ever been made
I can make all your demons be gone

But I'm never gonna make it without you
Do you really want to see me crawl
And I'm never gonna make it like you do
Making love out of nothing at all

Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all

Making Love In The Rain
Composer(s): James Harris; Terry Lewis
Performer(s): Herb Alpert



Making love in the rain
I can't believe the joy it brings me

Making love all alone
I hear the rain on my window

It's just a little thing
but it means so much to me

Our bodies together
while the rain plays a melody

Every raindrop makes think of you
(Wishing you were close to me)

There is nothing that I'd rather do than...
Making love in the rain
I can't believe the joy it brings me

When we're done - all alone
I hear the rain on my window

When it's stormy outside
It's warm in my heart
with you in my arms

And when your away from me
I wish it would rain
'cause its always the same

Every raindrop makes think of you
(Wishing you were close to me)

There is nothing that I'd rather do than...
Making love in the rain
I can't believe the joy it brings me
(I can't believe)

When I'm here all alone
I hear the rain on my window
(On my window)

Making love in the rain
I can't believe the joy it brings me

Making love all alone
I hear the rain on my window
(On my window, I hear the raindrops fall)

Every raindrop makes think of you
(Wishing you were close to me)

There is nothing that I'd rather do than...
(Nothing that I'd rather do than)
Making love in the rain
I can't believe the joy it brings me
(Making love, oohh making love)

When we're here all alone
I hear the rain on my window
(On my window, I hear it rain)

Making love in the rain
I can't believe the joy it brings me
(ooohhhh, yeah)

All alone I hear the rain
(I hear the rain)

My love here comes the rain

My love here comes the rain

My love here comes the rain

My love here comes the rain

Si Tu Penses
((Adapted from: Little Town Flirt (by Del Shannon) - 1962))
Composer(s): Marion McKenzie - Del Shannon - Eddy Mitchell
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1963



Si tu penses (si tu penses) encore à moi (si tu penses)
Si tu te lances dans la vie sans moi
Réfléchis sur l'avenir, revis avec tes souvenirs

Si tu penses, hey, oh, oh, hey you... à moi
Si tu y penses, ne m'oublie pas

Je sais bien (je sais bien) que notre amour (je sais bien)
N'était rien, mais peut-être qu'un jour
Tu regretteras ce temps, souviens-toi, tu m'aimais tant

Si tu penses, hey, oh, oh, hey you... à moi
Si tu y penses, ne m'oublie pas

Si tu penses du mal de moi, si mes avances n'aboutissent pas
Tu ne me feras pas de peine, je peux bien vivre sans toi
Même si tu penses à moi (à moi, moi, moi)

Quand je pense (si tu penses) encore à toi (si tu penses)
Il me semble que tu reviendras
Ne crois surtout pas que je tente de te ramener vers moi

Si tu penses, hey, oh, oh, hey you... à moi
Si tu y penses, ne m'oublie pas, oh, oh, oh (si tu penses)

Making Love In The Afternoon
Performer(s): Karen Carpenter



Makin' love in the afternoon 
Makin' love to another Beatle tune 
And I know you're feelin' the same way too 

All alone on a sunny day 
On our own and we had to get away 
And I know that I couldn't live without you 
Don't ever leave me alone 
Baby without you, I'd never make it alone 

Makin' love on a sunny day 
Makin' love in a very special way 
And I hope you're feelin' the way I do 
When you're here, when you're next to me
When you're near its the only place to be 
'Cause I know that I couldn't live without you 
Dont ever leave me alone 
Livin'without you, I couldn't make it alone 

Why wait for tomorrow? 
Tomorrow may never come 
Why wait for the evening shadows? 
Something behind me, will always remind me 
To wait for the morning 
Knowing you'll be here soon 
And then we can be together 
In the afternoon 

Makin' love (Makin'love) 
Makin' love in the afternoon

Little Things Mean A Lot
((Danish Version: Småting Kan Sige Alt (by Gustav Winckler) - 1964))
Composer(s): Edith Lindeman - Carl Stutz
First release by: Kitty Kallen - 1954
Covered by multiple other artists



Blow me a kiss across the room
Say I look nice when I'm not
Touch my hair as you pass my chair
Little things mean a lot

Give me your arm as we cross the street
Call me at six on the dot
A line a day when you're far away
Little things mean a lot

Don't have to buy me diamonds or pearls
Champagne, sables or such
I never cared much for diamonds and pearls
'Cause honestly, honey, they just cost money

Give me your hand when I've lost my way
Give me your shoulder to cry on
Whether the day is bright or gray
Give me your heart to rely on

Send me the warmth of a secret smile
To show me you haven't forgot
For always and ever, now and forever
Little things mean a lot

Give me your hand when I've lost my way
Give me your shoulder to cry on
Whether the day is bright or gray
Give me your heart to rely on

Send me the warmth of a secret smile
To show me you haven't forgot
For always and ever, now and forever
Little things mean a lot

Making Love
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; 
Bruce Roberts; Carole Bayer Sager
Originally performed by: Roberta Flack



Here close to our feelings we touch again
We love again
Remember when we thought
Our hearts would never mend
And we're all the better for each other

There's more to love I know
Than making love

Here no more confusion we see our lives
We live our lives
Remember when we thought
We never would survive
But now neither one of us is breaking

There's more to love I know
Than making love

Some things never change
Some things sometimes do
And now I'm feeling strong enough to let you in
And now neither one of us is breaking
Now we know there's more to love
Than making love
And I'll remember you and making love
And I'll remember you

Little Things (That Keep Us Together)
Composer(s): Ady Semel - Scott Walker
First release by: Scott Walker - 1970



It's on days like these
When your brother falls
You can read it all in the Times
How a moving car
Stole a movie star
Little Things that keep us together
While the war's going on
It's on days like these
When your childhood cries
And you see it all on the news
Little children starve
Growing tired of born
Little things that keep us all close and warm
While the war's going on
Find a place you can hide
And take what you can
The time will arrive
When you need a friend
Stop looking at us
We're waving good-bye
There's a man
Shouting he's with me
When that morning comes
I can't wait to see
Just how high his eagle
On color screens
Is gonna fly
Going to fly
It's on nights like these
That your neighbor dies
'Cos he put a gun to his head
He was so alone
He had nothing left
Little things that call for a drink
That bury a soldier's death
It's on days like these
When your sister cries
And your brother falls from your hands
Jumbo jets can die
Killing 81
Little things that help us get by the why
Why the war's going on
Why the war's going on
Why the war is going on
why the war is going on
why the war's going on
why the war's going on

Making Every Minute Count
Composer(s): John Morier
Performer(s): Spanky & Our Gang; Keith



While you're hung up on yesterday
You got nothing going today
While you're hung up on tomorrow
All the good times are slipping away
Life is right now and if you take it
The share will be the biggest amount
There's only one way to make it
That's making every minute count

Making every minute count
Making it groovy
Making love, making it now
If you know a better way of goin'
You know you'd better show me how

With your nose pressed to the window
Life is just a mirror of your mind
You can find much more to get into
Make up your mind, baby, now is the time
Time to live life like a lover
Time to keep time from keepin' you down
Time to get it all together
Making every minute count

Making every minute count
Making it groovy
Making love, making it now
If you know a better way of goin'
You know you'd better show me how

Making every minute count

Time to live life like a lover
Time to keep time from keepin' you down
Time to get it all together
Making every minute count
Making every minute count
Making it groovy
Making love, making it now
Making every minute count
Making it groovy

Little things that you do 
Make me glad I'm in love with you 
Little things that you say 
Make me glad that I feel this way
The way you smile, the way you hold my hand 
And when I'm down you always understand

You know I love those little things that I knew 
The little things you whispered in my ear
I know there ain't nobody else like you
No one could do the little things you do 

Little things in my ear that you say 
When there's no one near
Little things that you do 
Let me know that your love is true 
When we walk you like to hold my hand 
And when we talk you tell me I'm your man

You know I love those little things that I knew
The little things you whispered in my ear
I know there ain't nobody else like you 
No one could do the little things you do

Little things that you do 
Make me glad I'm in love with you
Little things that you say 
Make me glad that I feel this way 
When we walk you like to hold my hand 
And when we talk you tell me I'm your man

You know I love those little things that I knew

I know there ain't nobody else like you 
No one could do the little things you do

Originally performed by: Jimmy Work

Making believe that you still love me
It's leaving me alone and so blue
I'll always dream, still I'll never own you
Making believe, is all I can do

I can't hold you close when you're not with me
Your somebody's love, you'll never be mine
Making believe, I'll spend my lifetime
Loving you, making believe

Making believe I never lost you
But my happy hours I find are so few
My plans for the future will never come true, dear
I'm making believe what else can I do

Little Sparrow
Composer(s): Dolly Parton
First release by: Dolly Parton - 2001
Covered by multiple other artists



Little sparrow, little sparrow
Precious, fragile, little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Flies so high and feels no pain

All ye maidens heed my warning
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you like a sparrow
Leaving you to never mend

They will vow to always love you
Swear no love but yours will do
Then they'll leave you for another
Break your little heart in two

Little sparrow, little sparrow
Precious, fragile, little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Flies so high and feels no pain

If I were a little sparrow
O'er these mountains I would fly
I would find him, I would find him
Look into his lying eyes

I would flutter all around him
On my little sparrow wings
I would ask him, I would ask him
Why he let me love in vain

I am not a little sparrow
I am just the broken dream
Of a cold false-hearted lover
And his evil cunning scheme

All ye maidens fair and tender
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you like a sparrow
Leaving you to never mend

Little sparrow, little sparrow
Oh, the sorrow never ends

Making A Noise
Composer(s): Robbie Robertson
Performer(s): Robbie Robertson



Contact From The Underworld Of Red Boy

Everyone has a song
God gave us each a song
That's how we know who we are
Everyone has a song
 
We have come, heat the drum
The land trembles with dancing
We have come, bang the drum
The land trembles with dancing

Making a noise in this world
Making a noise in this world
You can bet your ass
I won't go quietly
Makin' a noise in this world
 
I don't want your promise
I don't want your whiskey
I don't want your blood on my hands
Only want what belongs to me
 
I think you thought I was gone
I think you thought I was dead
You won't admit that you was wrong
Ain't there some shit that should be said
 
Making a noise in this world
Making a noise in this world
You can bet your ass
I won't go quietly
Makin' a noise in this world
 
The Indian dancers stop and stare at him
Like he was bad weather
He keeps dancing
And knocks loose an eagle feather
The drums stop
This is the kind of silence that frightens white men
 
Making a noise in this world
Making a noise in this world
You can bet your ass
I won't go quietly
Makin' a noise in this world
 
(No Indians allowed)

Little Snow Girl
Composer(s): Robert Arthur
Performer(s): Lorrie Morgan



Little snow girl, little snow girl
See the white snow, see it falling
Listen closely someone's calling
Someone's calling out to you

It's the snow man, it's the snow man
See him beckon, hear him sing out
Little snow girl come and play now
Won't you come and play with me

For he see's you with his eyes of coal
And he loves you with his heart and soul
No man ever loved no girl
Like the snow man loves his snow girl

When the spring comes it stops snowing
And the snow man must be going
Little snow girl wipe away that tear
He'll be coming back to you next year ...

Making A Fool Of Myself
Composer(s): Sims
Performer(s): Jimmy Messene



Life is so funny but what can you do
You’re either happy or blue
You ask for sunshine but you get rain
You love a someone but all in vain

I’m making a fool of myself
Loving a someone that loves someone else
I’m putting myself on the shelf
Pining for someone that loves someone else

Is it worth it, I ask
And though my lips say no
Deep in my heart, though, I know
That I shall always keep on

Baby, I’m making a fool of myself
Loving a someone that loves someone else

I’m making, making a fool of myself
Loving a someone that loves someone else

Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice
And say it's very nice and then you run
Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done

She's mean and she's evil
Like a little old boll weevil
Guess I'll try my love with you, ah

Little sister, don't you

But you've been a-growin'
And baby it's been showin'
From your head down to your toes

Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice
And say it's very nice and then you run
Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done

Makin' Whoopee
Composer(s): Gus Kahn; Walter Donaldson
Originally performed by: Eddie Cantor
Covered by various other artists



Another bride, another June
Another sunny honeymoon
Another season, another reason
For makin' whoopee

A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
The groom is nervous, he answers twice
Its really killin' that he's so willin' 
To make whoopee

Picture a little love nest 
Down where the roses cling
Picture the same sweet love nest 
Think what a year can bring

He's washin dishes and baby clothes
He's so ambitious he even sews
But don't forget folks
Thats what you get folks, for makin' whoopee

He doesn't make much money
Five thousand dollars per
Some judge who thinks he's funny
Says, "You pay six to her"

He says, "Now judge, suppose I fail?"
The judge says, "Budge, right into jail
You'd better keep her
I think it's cheaper
Than making whoopee"
