Darlin' don't walk out on me Tryin' to teach me a lesson Thinkin' you'll come back to a better man If you don't like the way things go Just stay here and tell me so 'Cause there's one thing about me You've got to understand

Oowah Oowah ah ah ah-ah Oowah Oowah ah

My old desk isn't pictoresque but it's happy as a desk can be We never say a word, but it's perfectly alright with me For when my heart's on the blow, I just open the drawer of my favorite desk And what do I see? But a picture of me working at my Good Old Desk
Tea In The Sahara Composer(s): Sting First release by: The Police - 1983
My sisters and I Have this wish before we die And it may sound strange As if our minds are deranged Please don't ask us why Beneath the sheltering sky We have this strange obsession You have the means in your possession
We want our tea in the Sahara with you We want our tea in the Sahara with you
The young man agreed He would satisfy their need So they danced for his pleasure With a joy you could not measure They would wait for him here The same place every year Beneath the sheltering sky Across the desert he would fly
Tea in the Sahara with you Tea in the Sahara with you
The sky turned to black Would he ever come back? They would climb a high dune They would pray to the moon But he'd never return So the sisters would burn As their eyes searched the land With their cups full of sand
Tea in the Sahara with you Tea in the Sahara with you Tea in the Sahara with you Tea in the Sahara with you
Good Old Days Composer(s): Weird Al Yankovic Performer(s): Weird Al Yankovic
Oh some times I think back to when I was younger Life was so much simpler then Dad would be up at dawn He'd be watering the lawn Or maybe going fishing again
Oh and mom would be fixing up something in the kitchen Fresh biscuits or hot apple pie And I'd spend all day long in the basement Torturing rats with a hack-saw And pulling the wings off of flies
Those were the good old days Those were the good old days The years go by but the memory stays And those were the good old days
I can still remember good old Mr. Fender Who ran the corner grocery store Oh, he'd strolled down the aisle with a big friendly smile And he'd say "Howdy" when you walked in the door
Always treated me nice, gave me kindly advice I don't know why I set fire to his place Oh I'll never forget the day I bashed in his head Well you should've seen the look on his face
Let me tell ya now
Those were the good old days Those were the good old days The years go by but the memory stays And those were the good old days
Do you remember sweet Michelle She was my high school romance She was fun to talk to and nice to smell So I took her to the homecoming dance
Then I tied her to a chair and I shaved off all her hair And I left her in the desert all alone Well sometimes in my dreams I can still hear the screams Oh I wonder if she ever made it home
I tell ya
Those were the good old days Those were the good old days The years go by but the memory stays And those were the good old days
Let me tell ya buddy
Those were the good old days Those were the good old days The years go by but the memory stays And those were the good old days
Tea For Two ((French Version: Thé Pour Deux (Jack Lantier)) Composer(s): Vincent Youmans - Irving Caesar First performance: Louis Groody & John Barker - 1924 Covered by multiple other artists
Picture you upon my knee Just tea for two and two for tea Just me for you And you for me alone
Nobody near us To see us or hear us No friends or relations On weekend vacations We won't have it known, dear That we own a telephone, dear
Day will break and you'll awake And start to bake a sugar cake For me to take For all the boys to see
We will raise a family A boy for you, a girl for me Oh, can't you see How happy we would be?
You came in That's what my little heart was looking for Laughter in the rain Feeling like a fool in love again!
Oh the laughter came When the tears stopped falling Now all I do is just call your name (When I say lover) You walked in and my heart discovered That my life would never be the same
Oh you are my destiny You are my one and only You gave that joy to me When my whole life was lonely!
Angel in disguise With your power of love you just hypnotize I just love the magic of your spell How much joy we have together Only time will tell!
Oh the laughter came When the tears stopped falling Now all I do is just call your name (I just call your name) You walked in and my heart discovered That my life would never be the same!
I know you are my destiny You are my one and only You gave that joy to me When my whole life was lonely!
Every day every night Oh I know it's so right When I see your face Only times gonna tell But I know you so well Girl my loves for real From the first time that I saw you I know it was forever
This mighty love between us Will keep us together You're the girl god sent from heaven I'm so glad I found you Forever forever forever forever Forever Forever! I'm so glad to be around you
You are my destiny You are my one and only You gave that joy to me When my whole world was lonely!
It's alright it's alright Do it again! It's alright it's alright Don't let this love end! It's alright it's alright Do it again! It's alright it's alright Don't let this love end!
From the first time that I saw you I knew it was forever This mighty love between us Will keep us together You're the girl god sent from heaven I'm so glad I found you Forever forever forever Forever forever forever I'm so glad to be around you!

Good Night: Sleep Tight Medley Composer(s): Sylvia Fine Performer(s): Danny Kaye & Louis Armstrong
(Louis) Goodnight, time to call it a day Sleep tight, dream your troubles away Goodnight, in spite of any sorrow There's a brand new day on it's way tomorrow Someday, all your dreams will come true Someway, for me and you So close your eyes and dream of it my darling Till then goodnight, goodnight, sleep tight
(Louis repeats, Danny joins in with Lullabye in Ragtime)
Won't you play the music so the cradle can rock To a lullbye in ragtime Sleepy hands are creeping to the end of the clock Play a lullabye in ragtime You can tell the sandman is on his way By the way that they play As still as the trill of a thrush In a twilight hush So you can hear The rythym of the river on the side of the boat As you sail away to dreamland High above the moon you hear a silvery note As the sand man takes your hand So rock-a-bye my baby Don't you cry my baby Sleepy time is nigh Won't you rock me to a ragtime lullabye
Danny: Now comes the hard part, baby Do you suppose you can sing "Five Pennies" while Pops and I sing something else? Girl: Sure, I can sing as good as he can. Louis: And who can't?
(Louis repeats Goodnight, Sleep Tight; Danny repeats Lullaby in Ragtime; Girl sings Five Pennies)
This little penny is to wish on And make your wishes come true This little peeny is to dream on Dream of all you can do Thislittle is a dancing penny See how it glitters and it glows Bright as a whistle Light as a thistle Quick, quick as a wink Up on it's twinkling toes This little penny is to laugh on To see that tears never fall This this little penny Is the last little penny Most important of all For this penny is to love on And where love is, heaven is there So with just five pennies, if they're these five pennies You'll be a millionaire For this penny is to love on And where love is, heaven is there So with just five pennies, if they're these five pennies You'll be a millionaire

Si, comme plus dun amant Jai rêvé fréquemment Dun bel appartement Jamais ne suis-je arrivé A pouvoir le trouver Lappartement rêvé Nous aurons loin de la ville Un coin tranquille Meilleur marché Là quand nous serons nichés On pourra nous chercher Nous saurons nous cacher
Je vous vois déjà chez nous Buvant le thé sur mes genoux Avec du cake Et des ptits gâteaux secs! Ah! Quel bonheur! Se sentir sans gêneur Tous les deux nez à nez Sans la bonn Sans personne À qui téléphoner! Rien que nous vraiment seuls Bien seuls Seuls! Le ptit jour me surprendra Vous préparant du chocolat! Ce jour là comme les autres jours! Toujours! Et finalment, certainment Commnous aurons beaucoup denfants Voyez tous deux Comm nous serons heureux
Vrai, je trouve en le jugeant Que ce plan diligent Est des plus enrageants! Cest comm vous le devinez Pour vous déterminer Que je lai combiné Je trouve tout admirable Mais, raisonnable À votre tour Veuillez bien attendre pour Abriter notre amour Que jaie choisi mon jour
Je me vois déjà chez nous Buvant du thé sur vos genoux Moi calme et gai Bien quun peu fatigué Ah! quel bonheur! Ah! quel bonheur! Se sentir sans gêneur Tous les deux nez à nez Sans la bonn Sans personne À qui téléphoner! Rien que nous vraiment seuls Bien seuls Seuls! Au grand jour on me verra Reprisant des trous dans vos bas Ce jour là comm les autres jours Toujours! Et finalment, certainment Comm nous aurons beaucoup denfants Voyez tous deux Commnous serons heureux!
