It Came Out Of The Sky

Covered by multiple other artists



Oh, It Came Out Of The Sky, landed just a little south of Moline
Jody fell out of his tractor, couldn't believe what he seen
Laid on the ground and shook, fearing for his life
Then he ran all the way to town screaming "It Came Out Of The Sky" 

Well, a crowd gathered 'round and a scientist said it was marsh gas
Spiro came and made a speech about raising the Mars tax
The Vatican said, "Woe, the Lord has come"
Hollywood rushed out an epic film
And Ronnie the Popular said it was a communist plot

Oh, the newspapers came and made Jody a national hero
Walter and Eric said they'd put him on a network T.V. show
The White House said, "Put the thing in the Blue Room"
The Vatican said, "No, it belongs to Rome"
And Jody said, "It's mine and you can have it for seventeen million" 

Oh, It Came Out Of The Sky, landed just a little south of Moline
Jody fell out of his tractor, couldn't believe what he seen
Laid on the ground a shaking, fearing for his life
Then he ran all the way to town screaming "It Came Out Of The Sky"

No Chemise, Please!
Composer(s): Jodi D'Amour; Arnold Goland; Gerry Granahan
Performer(s): Gerry Granahan



I had a date for the hop last night
Up to her door everything seemed right
But to my surprise as I opened the door
I couldn't tell the front from the back
"'Cause she was wearin' a sack dress
Whew what a mess!
The last time I saw her, man what a shape!!
And now she's got a shape like an egg!

No chemise, please, not for me, please
Well you can take back the sack, leave it hangin' on the rack 
And bring a sweater back!!

When we arrived at the hop
We started in doin' the stroll
I told her I wanted to stop
But she wanted rock and roll
I told her forty times and it really was a crime
I was talkin' to the back of her head!!

No chemise, please, not for me, please
Well you can take back the sack, leave it hangin' on the rack 
And bring a sweater back!!---yeah

Sure would like to find the creator
Who covered up my baby in this tent
He musta been a woman-hater
I keep wonderin' where the wiggle went
So won't you change the fad, have pity on me please
Put 'er back in her dungarees

No chemise, please, not for me, please
Well you can take back the sack, leave it hangin' on the rack 
And bring a sweater back!!

No chemise, please, not for me, please
Well you can take back the sack, leave it hangin' on the rack 
Bring a sweater back!!

Do Not Say Good-Bye
Composer(s): Leonard Marx
Performer(s): The Marx Brothers



You ask me why I feel so blue
You ask me why I cry
You ask me why I look so sad
You ask me why I sigh

You made me love you more and more
And now that we must part
The sunshine leaves, the sorrow comes
Into my breaking heart

Don't say good-bye, Dear, please don't go away
I feel so lonesome, I want you to stay, my Dearie
When I am lonely, that's the time I sigh
I want you only, so do not say good-bye

I knew that sometime you would go
And leave me all alone
I hoped in vain that you might stay
And never, never roam

And though you promise to return
I know that you'll not find
The broken heart, the shattered life
That you once left behind

Don't say good-bye, Dear, please don't go away
I feel so lonesome, I want you to stay, my Dearie
When I am lonely, that's the time I sigh
I want you only, so do not say good-bye

My little boy came into the kitchen this evenin'
While I was fixin' supper
And he handed me a piece of paper he'd been writin' on
And after wipin' my hands on my apron
I read it - and this is what it said
For mowin' the yard - five dollars
And for makin' my own bed this week - one dollar
And for goin' to the store - fifty cents
An' playin' with little brother, while you went shoppin' - twenty-five cents
Takin' out the trash - one dollar
Gettin' a good report card - five dollars
And for rakin' the yard - two dollars
Total owed - fourteen seventy-five
Well, I looked at 'im standin' there expectantly
And a thousand mem'ries flashed through my mind
So I picked up the pen, turnin' the paper over
This is what I wrote
For nine months I carried you
Growin' inside me - No Charge
For the nights I've sat up with you
Doctored you, prayed for you - No Charge
For the time and the tears
And the cost through the years, there's No Charge
When you add it all up
The full cost of my love is No Charge
For the nights filled with dread
And the worries ahead - No Charge
For advice and the knowledge
And the cost of your college - No Charge
For the toys, food and clothes and for wipin' your nose
There's No Charge, son
When you add it all up
The full cost of my love, is - No Charge
Well, when he finished readin'
He had great big old tears in his eyes
And he looked up at me and he said
"Mama, I sure do love you"
Then he took the pen
And in great big letters
He wrote: "Paid In Full"
When you add it all up
The cost of real love is - No Charge

It Better End Soon
Performer(s): Chicago



Can't stand it no more
The people dying
Crying for help for so many years
But nobody hears
Better end soon my friend
It better end soon my friend

Can't take it no more
The people hating
Hurting their brothers
They don't understand
They can't understand
Better end soon my friend
It better end soon

Hey, everybody
Won't you just look around
Can't anybody see?
Just what's going down
Can't you take the time?
Just to feel
Just to feel what is real
If you do
Then you'll see that we got a raw deal
They're killing everybody
I wish it weren't true
They say we got to make war
Or the economy will fall
But if we don't stop
We won't be around no more
They're ruining this world
For you and me
The big heads of state
Won't let us be free
They made the rules once
But it didn't work out
Now we must try again
Before they kill us off
No more dying!
No more killing
No more dying
No more fighting
We don't want to die
No, we don't want to die
Please let's change it all
Please let's make it all
Good for the present
And better for the future
Let's just love one another
Let's show peace for each other
We can make it happen
Let's just make it happen
We can change this world
Please let's change this world
Please let's make it happen for our children
For our women
Change the world
Please make it happen
Come on
Come on
Please
Come on
It's up to me
It's up to you
So let's do it now
Yeah
Do it now

Can't stand it no more
The people cheating
Burning each other
They know it ain't right
How can it be right
Better end soon my friend
It better end soon my friend

No Chain At All
Composer(s): No Chain At All
Performer(s): Roy Orbison



Most women want to chain you
To promises and such
They take a little freedom
Each time they let you touch

She didn't try to chain me
That's why I turned around
She let me taste my freedom
And now I'm homeward bound

You know I'm headed on back to her
I'm hearing her call
The strongest chain in the world 
Is no chain at all, at all
That's why I'm headed on back to her

She won't make me crawl
The strongest chain in the world
Is no chain at all

At least one pretty woman 
In every sleepy town
Would bargain with the lovin' 
And try to tie me down

I took what I was offered
Like most men probably would
But teasing in my memory
Was something twice as good

You know I'm headed on back to her
I'm hearing her call
The strongest chain in the world 
Is no chain at all, at all
That's why I'm headed on back to her
She won't make me crawl
The strongest chain in the world
Is no chain at all, at all
That's why I'm headed on back to her
Headed on back to her
Loving my baby

Darcy Farrow
Composer(s): Steve Gillette; Tom Campbell
First release by: Ian & Sylvia - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



Where the Walker runs down to the Carson Valley plane
There lived a maiden, Darcy Farrow was her name
The daughter of old Dundee and a fair one was she
The sweetest flower that bloomed o'er the plain

Her voice was sweet as the sugar candy
Her touch was soft as a bed of goosedown
Her eyes shone bright like the pretty lights
That shine in the night out of Yerrington Town

She was courted by young Vandermere
And quite handsome was he, as I hear
He bought her silverrings and other lacy things
And she promised to wed before the snows fell that year

But her pony did stumble and she did fall
Her dying touched the hearts of us one and all
Young Vandy in his pain put a bullet through his brain
And they buried them together as the snow began to fall

They sing of Darcy Farrow where the Truckee runs through
They sing of her beauty in Virginia City too
At dusky sundown to her name they drink a round
And to young Vandy whose love was true

No Basta
Composer(s): C. Alfonso; Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Cuando te juegas bien
(no sólo vida, sino buscando
latitud y nombre)
comienzas a ganar la gran partida
lejos del animal, cerca del hombre

No basta presentar el pecho al plomo
no basta enarbolar feroces lemas
la justicia azotar debe tu lomo
hasta llevarte allá, donde más quema

A veces defender a un compañero
de la calumnia, es más que ir a la guerra
A veces la verdad de largo vuelo
es lo más cotidiano de la tierra

Les Enfants De Mozart
Performer(s): Frida Boccara



Les enfants sont nés pour la musique
Les pianos magiques
Les flûtes enchantées
Et on leur donne des travaux pratiques
Des trains électriques
Au lieu de les aimer
Voilà ce que Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Dirait
Les enfants sont faits pour écouter
Ce que disent les arbres
Ce que pense le temps
Et on leur donne des fleurs en plastique
Un monde mécanique
Dont le cœur est absent
Voilà ce que Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Dirait
Donnez-leur quelques chevaux sauvages
cachés comme des rires au-dessous des nuages
et vous verrez leurs yeux vous montrer l’avenir
et vous trouverez Dieu au coin de leur sourire
Les enfants ne se dérangent pas
Ils sont la vérité que l’on n’ écoute pas
Ils feraient s’ils conduisaient le bal
Des villes de cristal, des maisons de soleil
Laissons-les faire, ils sont des musicien
Ils sont des magicien, des faiseurs d’arcs-en-ciel
Voilà ce que Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Dirait
Vous avez coupé tous les chemins
Que d’autres comme moi
Ont ouvert de leurs mains
Vos rêves ne sont plus que dans quelques chansons
Qui se brisent deux fois sur des murs de béton
Tournez-vous du côté des prophètes
Du côté des poètes
Du côté des enfants
Les enfants sont nés pour la musique
Les pianos magiques
Les jets d’eau du Square
Laissez-les vivre du côté de l’amour
Et vous aurez un jour
Des milliers de Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Dirait

No Arms Can Ever Hold You
Composer(s): Art Crafer; Jimmy Nebb
Performer(s): The Bachelors;
and various other artists



No arms can ever hold you
Like these arms of mine
No heart can ever love you
Like this heart of mine

My dreams can all come true
If you'll care for me

This love that I feel for you
Was just meant to be

No lips can ever kiss you
Like these lips of mine
No one can ever offer
What I offer you

My heart, my love are yours
Til the end of time
No arms can ever hold you
Like these arms of mine

No lips can ever kiss you
Like these lips of mine
No one can ever offer
What I offer you

My heart, my love are yours
Til the end of time
No arms can ever hold you
Like these arms of mine

It Amazes Me
Composer(s): Cy Coleman; Carolyn Leigh
First release by: Tony Bennett - 1958
Covered by multiple other artists



My height, just average
My weight, just average
My IQ is like you'd estimate, just average
But evidently she does not agree
Consequently if I seem at sea...

It amazes me
It simply amazes me
What she sees in me dazzles me
Dazes me
That I've learned to clip my wings
And soften my ways
These are ordinary things unworthy of praize
Yet she praizes my just knowing I try for
When so many would, if they could, die for her
I'm the one who's worthy, wize
And nothing much fazes me
But to see me in her eyes.....

It just amazes me

No Arms Can Ever Hold You
Performer(s): Chris Norman



Baby, frozen tears
It was hard through the years
I never give up never one of my dreams
And deep inside is my love still alive
And God only knows that I can't let you go
Whem I'm in love, it will be for ever
I gave you my heart forever and ever

No arms can ever hold you more than I do
No man can never love you, oh, babe, it's true
No arms can ever hold you more than I do
You came to me from heaven
Girl, it's true
And if I ever lose your love
And if I ever lose your heart
Oh baby, I'm dying for your love

Baby, now I'm alone
And I try to be strong
But my baby I cry silent tears without a cry
And I can't hold on to the feeling that's gone
And there's nothing to lose 'cause I'm playing the fool
When I'm in love it will be for better
Gave you my heart forever and ever

And if I ever lose your love
If I ever lose your heart
Baby, I'm dying for your love
And if I ever lose your smile
If I ever lose your heart
Everbody needs someone to love
And I say

Cigarettes, Cigars
Composer(s): Mack Gordon - Harry Revel
Performer(s): Ruth Etting; Florence Desmond



I was one of those hicks
That came here from the sticks
Trying to find the kind of fame
The name of Broadway stands for
I was one of those fools
Who dreamed of riches and jewels
Now I awake, find my mistake
I'll get a break, Broadway's a fake!
I work in a speak that's dim and dingy
Where standers are pretenders, cheap and stingy
All I smell is rotten scotch and ginger
Cigarettes, cigars!
Now I've learned what smoking coke and snow means
Among the guys who've never learned what "no" means
You ask me do I know what making dough means
Cigarettes, cigars!
To heaven I just send up
My lonely plea
Is this where I must end up
Oh, good Lord, answer me!
Every evening as the night life dies out
I walk home to sleep and weep my eyes out
Can't you hear a broken heart that cries out
Cigarettes, cigars! Cigarettes, cigars!
Say, have you ever seen Broadway when its glamour is gone
When the nightclubs are closing and the whole world is dozing and sleeping until the dawn?
Why, all its glory and splendor and marvelous sights
They all fade out together as they turn out the lights
With street beggars mumbling, milk wagons rumbling, dream castles tumbling in the air
Oh, it's lonesome and weary, friendless and dreary, a pitiful sight of despair!
Every evening as the night life dies out
I walk home to sleep and weep my eyes out
Can't you hear a broken heart that cries out
Cigarettes, cigars!
Cigarettes! Cigars!
Cigarettes! Cigars!

No Anchovies, Please
Composer(s): Justman; Wolf
Performer(s): J. Geils Band



This is the story of a young couple in Portland, Maine

While waiting for her husband Don to return home from work
she reaches for a can of anchovies
As she spreads the tiny fish across a piece of lettuce
she notices a small note at the bottom of the can
Written on it is a telephone number
Curious, she dials, and is told
"Don't move, lady, we'll be right over" 
Placing the phone back on the hook
she turns to see three smartly dressed men standing in her kitchen doorway
Before she realizes what is happening to her
she is rolled tightly in long sheets of cellophane
transported to an international airport, and placed on a waiting jet-liner
All this being too much for her to comprehend, she passes out

Upon awakening, she finds herself in a strange, foreign speaking nation
("Dalas nekcihc dna tihs nekcihc neewteb ecnereffid eht wonk ot suineg a ekat t'nseod ti")
Alone, fearing her escape impossible
she seeks comfort in the arms of a confidential agent
With the trace of her kiss still warm upon his lips
he betrays her to the hands of three scientists
who are engaged in diabolical avant-garde experiments 
previously performed only on insects and other small, meaningless creatures
Using her as their subject, they are delighted with the results
For the first time, a human being is transformed into a ("shhh... it's secret")

Meanwhile, back in Portland, Maine...

Her husband Don, now chain-smoking 40 packs of cigarettes a day
sits at a local bar and has a few beers with the regulars
Bored, everyone's attention turns to the television set that just hangs from the wall
("Welcome to Bowling for Dollars")
Suddenly, crazy Al says
"S-say, Don, there sure is something familiar about that bowling ball" 
To which a terrified Don replies
"Oh my God! 
That bowling ball! 
It's my wife!"

And the lesson we learn from this story is
next time you place your order
don't forget to say
"No anchovies please"

It All Depends On You
Composer(s): Lew Brown; Buddy DeSylva; Ray Henderson
First performance by: Al Jolson (Stage Production) - 1925
Covered by multiple other artists



Lovers depend on moonlight
For a love affair
Babies depend on mothers
For their tender care
Flowers depend on sunshine
And the morning dew
Each thing depends on something
And I depend on you

I can be happy, I can be sad
I can be good or I can be bad
It all depends on you
I can be lonely out in a crowd
I can be humble, I can be proud
It all depends on you
I can save money, or spend it
Go right on living, or end it
You're to blame, Honey
For what I do
I know that I can be beggar
I can be King
I can be almost any old thing
It all depends on you

Isn't it sweet to know, Dear
You can help me on
Wouldn't it hurt to know, Dear
All my hopes were gone
Wouldn't it make you proud, Dear
If I made a name
But if I failed to win, dear
Would you want all the blame

I can be happy, I can be sad
I can be good or I can be bad
It all depends on you
I can be lonely out in a crowd
I can be humble, I can be proud
It all depends on you
I can save money, or spend it
Go right on living, or end it
You're to blame, honey
For what I do
I know that I can be beggar
I can be King
I can be almost any old thing
It all depends on you
Yes, it all depends on you

No

Son dos letras solamente
Las que estan entre tu y yo
Son dos letras solamente
Y que juntas dicen no

No, no, no
Que bonita es la palabra
No, no, no
Si me dices no te vayas
No, no, no
Pero en cambio yo me muero
Si me dices no te quiero
No, no, no, no, no

Nunca digas no te quiero
Porque matas nuestro amor
Dime siempre no te olvido
Porque asi me gusta el no

But I Do, You Know I Do!
Composer(s): Gus Kahn; Walter Donaldson
Performer(s): Ruth Etting



I keep trying to, I'm just dying to
Get you out of my mind
But that's hard to do with somebody you love
I've denied it, I've tried to hide it
But every evening I find
You're the one that I keep thinking of

I shouldn't mind if you find someone new
But I do, you know I do
I shouldn't care if you're here or you're there
But I do, you know I do

I know you love to flit around
While I just sit around and wonder
What's become of you
I know that I shouldn't mope
Shouldn't hope you're lonesome, too
But I do, you know I do

I keep saying and I keep praying
That I'll forget you somehow
But the more I try seems the more that I pine
While you're dancing and out romancing
With those you care about now
Do you think of days when you were mine

I shouldn't mind if you find someone new
But I do, you know I do
I shouldn't care if you're here or you're there
But I do, you know I do

I know you love to flit around
While I just sit around and wonder
What's become of you
I know that I shouldn't mope
Shouldn't hope you're lonesome, too
But I do, you know I do, do, do, do, do

"L'ho addormentato nella culla e l'ho affidato al mare
che lui si salvi o vada perduto e mai più non ritorni da me"
L'hanno detto giù nelle cucine; la voce ha risalito le scale
e tutta la casa ora lo sa: ieri notte piangeva un bambino

L'hanno detto giù nelle cucine e tutta la casa lo sa
che ieri lei aveva un bambino e che oggi lei non l'ha più
"Adesso alzati e dillo a me, lo so che avevi un bambino
tutta la notte ha pianto e perchè ora tu non l'hai più con te"

"L'ho addormentato nella culla e l'ho affidato al mare
che lui si salvi o vada perduto e mai più non ritorni da me"
"Adesso alzati, vieni con me questa sera andremo in città
lava le mani, lavati il viso, metti l'abito grigio che hai"

L'abito grigio non indossò per andare quella sera in città
vestita di bianco la gente la vide davanti a se passare
"La scorsa notte dalla mia padrona le ho pettinato i capelli
poi mio figlio ho addormentato e l'ho affidato al mare"...

Non lo sapeva certo mia madre quando a sè lei mi stringeva
delle terre che avrei viaggiato, della sorte che avrei avuta
"L'ho addormentato nella culla e l'ho affidato al mare
che lui si salvi o vada perduto e mai più non ritorni da me"
