Lovely Weather For Ducks Composer(s): Jay Livingston - Ray Evans Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney and multiple other artists
When its pouring rain and people complain And things arent worth the shucks Dont you yell, just say Well Lovely weather for ducks
When its freezing snow, bout zero or so And the icy sidewalk glares Dont get cold feet, just repeat Lovely weather for bears
Though all your cares seem double Theres good in every bad So sneer at Old Man Trouble And hell go away mad
When your shoelace breaks And your toothache aches And you need a few more bucks Dont you pout, just sing out Heavenly weather for what could be better for Lovely weather for ducks
Though all your cares seem double Theres good in every bad So sneer at Old Man Trouble And hell go away mad
When your shoelace breaks And your toothache aches And you need a few more bucks Dont you pout, just sing out Heavenly weather for what could be better for Lovely weather for ducks
Heavenly weather for what could be better for Lovely weather for ducks
Lovely Way To Spend An Evening Composer(s): Harold Adamson - Jimmy McHugh Performer(s): Frank Sinatra and multiple other artists
Some like a night at the movies, some like a dance or a show Some are content with an evening spent home by the radio Some like to live for the moment, some like to just reminisce But whenever I have an evening to spend. just give me one like this This is a lovely way to spend an evening. can't think of anything I'd rather do This is a lovely way to spend an evening, can't think of anyone as lovely as you A casual stroll through a garden. a kiss by a lazy lagoon Catching a breath of moonlight, humming our favorite tune This is a lovely way to spend an evening I want to save all my nights and spend them with you Catching a breath of moonlight, humming our favorite tune This is a lovely way to spend an evening I want to save all my nights and spend them with you
Lovely To Look At Composer(s): Dorothy Fields - Jerome Kern - Jimmy McHugh Performer(s): Eddy Duchin and multiple other artists
(she) Clothes must play a part To light an eye, to win a heart They say a gown can almost speak If it is chic Should you select the right effect You cannot miss You may be sure He will tell you this
Lovely to look at Delightful to know and heaven to kiss A combination like this Is quite my most impossible scheme come true Imagine finding a dream like you! You're lovely to look at It's thrilling to hold you terribly tight For we're together, the moon is new And oh, it's lovely to look at you tonight!
(he) What appeals to me Is just your charm and dignity Not what you wear But just an air, of great repose You are quite perfect from your head down to your toes Both night and day I am moved to say
Lovely to look at Delightful to know and heaven to kiss A combination like this Is quite my most impossible scheme come true Imagine finding a dream like you! You're lovely to look at It's thrilling to hold you terribly tight For we're together, the moon is new And oh, it's lovely to look at you tonight!
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

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

Winter comes with its song And its cares of the day Then the spring brings the sun Just to melt them away
Love is all, love is all On this earth to unfurl For each boy and each girl 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
The Red Rooster Composer(s): Howlin' Wolf First release by: Howlin' Wolf - 1961 Covered by multiple other artists
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

If you see my little red rooster, please drag him home If you see my little red rooster, please drag him home There ain't no peace in the barnyard Since the little red rooster been gone
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
