The Ballad Of The Shape Of Things
Composer(s): Sheldon Harnick
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio



Completely round is the perfect pearl
The oyster manufactures
Completely round is the steering wheel
That leads to compound fractures
Completely round is the golden fruit
That hangs from the orange tree
Yes, the circle shape is quite renowned
And sad to say, it can be found
In the low down, dirty runaround
My true love gave to me, yes
My true love gave to me

Completely square is the velvet box
He said my ring would be in
Completely square is the envelope
He said farewell to me in
Completely square is the handkerchief
I flourish constantly
As I dry my eyes of the tears I shed
And blow my nose that turned bright red
Completely square is my true love's head
He will not marry me, no, he will not marry me

Rectangular is the hotel door
My true love tried to sneak through
Rectangular is the transom
Over which I had to peek through
Rectangular is the hotel room I entered angrily
And rectangular is the wooden box
Where lies my love neath the golden phlox
They say he died from the chicken pox
In part I must agree: one chick too many had he! 

Triangular is the piece of pie
I eat to ease my sorrow
Triangular is the hatchet blade
I plan to hide tomorrow
Triangular the relationship
That now has ceased to be
And triangular is the garment thin
That fastens on with a safety pin
To a prize I had no wish to win
It's a lasting memory that my true love gave to me

Camouflage
Composer(s): Berry Gordy Jr.
Performer(s): The Temptations



Yes, I'm smiling
Everytime you pass me by
I know you wonder, why I never cry
But let me tell you, happiness (Happiness)
My happiness (Happiness)
Is just a camouflage (Camouflage)
They call me the joker (I'm a joker)
'Cause I... I always play
But I'm just a clown (I'm a clown)
'Cause I'm really not that way
'Cause all my happiness (Happiness)
My happiness (Happiness)
Oh, is just a camouflage
(Open your eyes and see I'm crying)
(Open your eyes and see I'm dying)
(Open your eyes and see I'm crying)
Wee-Ooo (Hey, hey, hey)

They call me the joker (The joker)
'Cause I... I always play
But I'm just a clown (I'm just a clown)
'Cause I'm really not that way
'Cause all my happiness (Happiness)
My happiness (Happiness)
Oh, is just a camouflage
(Open your eyes and see I'm crying) I love you
(Open your eyes and see I'm dying) Oh, yes I do
(Open your eyes and see I'm crying) Ooo, baby
(Open your eyes and see I'm dying) Ooo, baby
(Open your eyes and see I'm crying) I gotta broken heart
(Open your eyes and see I'm dying) I've got a broken heart
(Open your eyes and see I'm dying) Just a care of love
(Open your eyes and see I'm dying) Just a care of love
(Open your eyes and see I'm dying) I gotta broken heart
(Open your eyes and see I'm dying) I've got a broken heart
(Open your eyes and see I'm crying) Just a care of love
(Open your eyes and see I'm dying) Ooo

Farther Along
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Elvis Presley; The Byrds




(We'll understand it all by and by)

Tempted and tried we're oft' made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long
While there are others living about us
Never molested, though in the wrong

Farther along we'll know more about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by

When death has come and taken our loved ones
Leaving our homes so lonely and drear
Then do we wonder how others prosper
Living so wicked year after year

Farther along we'll know more about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by

Ballad Of The One Eyed Jacks
Composer(s): Morgan
Performer(s): Johnny Burnette



A one-eyed Jack rode to Monterey in the heat of the blazing sun
When Sheriff Longworth saw Kid Rio, he strapped on his fast gun
The sheriff didn't trust the one eyed Jack nor the deadly smile he wore
An' when that night he shamed Louisa, in vengeance the sheriff swore

Beware of the one-eyed Jacks, especially if they're wild
One-eyed Jacks are deadly, even when they smile
Never trust a one-eyed Jack with his cold, cold heart of stone
He will only show one side to you, for his soul is the devil's own

Ten cracks of the sheriff's whip cut deep 
The pain-filled Rio cursed
"You'd better kill me while you can or I will get you first"
The angry sheriff raised his gun butt high, then smashed Rio's trigger hand
"You're done for now, you one-eyed Jack, you will kill no other man"

Beware of the one-eyed Jacks, especially if they're wild
One-eyed Jacks are deadly, even when they smile
Never trust a one-eyed Jack with his cold, cold heart of stone
He will only show one side to you, for his soul is the devil's own

The creaky iron doors slammed shut tight 
The one-eyed Jack was jailed
With Louisa's help he soon escaped for his true love had not failed
The horses rode off with the lovers two as the smokin' six guns burst
The sheriff aimed his gun at the one-eyed Jack, but the one-eyed Jack shot first

Beware of the one-eyed Jacks, especially if they're wild
One-eyed Jacks are deadly, even when they smile
Never trust a one-eyed Jack with his cold, cold heart of stone
He will only show one side to you, for his soul is the devil's own

Cammina Cammina
((French Version: Mamina (by Pascal Danel))
Performer(s): Dalida



Verso il sole se ne va
Di lui il mondo che ne sà
Io soltanto soffriro
Sono l'ultima che amo

Cammina, Cammina

Che cercava non so più
Io gli ho dato un po di più
Il moi letto e un po di me
Senza capire poi perchè

Cammina, Cammina

Mi ha lasciato le parole
Le mie tristezze stese al sole
Mi ha lasciato con il grano
Ma il cuore moi è lontano

Lui che aveva nelle mani
Uno a uno i miei domani
Nel vento tiepido di maggio
Senza coraggio se ne và

Cammina, Cammina

Mi ha lasciato le parole
Le mie tristezze stese al sole
Mi ha lasciato con grano
Ma il cuore moi è lontano
Verso io, io soltanto soffriro
Sono l'ultima che amo

Cammina,Cammina 

La, la, la...

Cammina, Cammina

Farsante
Composer(s): Homero Aguilar
Performer(s): Javier Solis; Chelo Silva



Con caricias dulces me dejaste ciego
y viví en tus brazos y viví en tus labios un amor fugaz
Y hoy que abrí los ojos te veo tal como eres
tú vives la farsa, tú vives la farsa de un amor falaz

Déjame decirte farsante, farsante eres muy farsante
déjame decirte que ahora te odio como antes te quise
Porque soy cobarde no puedo reñirte lo que me has quitado
llévatelo todo, mi vida, mi alma, mi amor destrozado

Que el cielo se apague por todas las partes donde tú te encuentres
que se sequen todos los labios que busques donde refugiarte
y que al fin vencida te arrastre la vida llevando en tu mente 
mi grito de angustia: farsante, farsante

Que el cielo se apague por todas las partes donde tú te encuentres
que se sequen todos los labios que busques donde refugiarte
y que al fin vencida te arrastre la vida llevando en tu mente 
mi grito de angustia: farsante, farsante

Ballad Of The Blue Cyclone
Composer(s): Glen Sutton
Performer(s): Ray Stevens



Well, you've heard of Samson and Hercules 
They both brought a lot of folks to their knees
And throughout history their legends have grown and grown
Then there was Tarzan and Superman and Captain Marvel with the cool Shazam
But there weren't even any that compare to the Blue Cyclone

In a little bar one Wedensday night, me and ole Bill was about half tight
Comparin' Dolly Pardon to Lana Turner and Liz
When Bill winked at me and downed his beer and said 
"Hoss, there ain't nothin' happenin' here!"
"Let's go to the rasslin' matches where the action is!"

Well, I'd never seen the matches before and when we reached the arena door
The crowd was already backed up out in the street
And people were pushin' and shovin' like cattle 
Just gettin' in line was a heck of a battle
We had to fight like hell but we finally got ring side seats

Then we bought a progam as we passed though the door 
Went section D, seats three and four
And about that time the announcer stepped in the ring
He said, "Tonight's the greatest card ever been signed 
We got a tag team match that'll blow yer mind!"
And they lowered the lights and the crowd began to scream

He introduced the Spider from parts unknown with his trusty partner, the Blue Cyclone
They were takin' on a team that never had been beat
Well, the ref checked 'em over the rules were explained 
And somebody hollered, "The Spider's got a chain!"
And in come the Vulture with his manager, Sneaky Pete

Then they rang the bell and all hell broke loose 
My legs were shakin' like a rubber goose
'Cause I'd never seen anything like this, not even in the war! 
Cyclone put the Vulture in an airplane spin 
Then he body slammed him then he did it again
And I swear I didn't see how that cat could take much more

Then a little old lady right next to me 
Why, if she was a day, she was eighty-three
But she raised more sin than any man I've ever seen
She screamed and cussed in the Cyclone's face 
Till they carried her away like a basket case
Then the po-lice came and formed a circle around the ring

Then on the second row up jumped a man 
I could see a pocket knife in his hand
He hollered, "Let me in there and I'll mop up the floor!"
His wife reached up and grabbed his sleeve 
And I saw him breath a sigh of releif
And then he sat down and he never did say no more

It was right about there in the thick of things 
That my buddy, Bill threw a chair in the ring
And that's when I knew that we'd better head for the door
'Cause I saw that Cyclone lookin' at us and he rubbed his head and started to cuss
And I knew if he caught us he'd break Bill's neck for sure

Well, where we'd parked wasn't that far and Bill ran so fast he beat me to the car
And locked the doors and wasn't 'bout to let nobody in
And I turned around and Cyclone was there and he said 
"Hey, punk! You forgot yer chair!"
And by the look in his eyes I knew that this was the end

Then he jumped up real high in the air and both feet caught me with a flyin' mare
And I saw stars when I hit that hard concrete
It broke both of my arms and three of my ribs, it's the closet thing I've come to bein' killed
That's the last thing I remember before he put me to sleep!

Put that sleeper on me...
You know, I oughtta slam Bill! Heh! Lockin' the car doors like that!
Left me out there to fight the Cyclone by myself...
Heh! I ain't a rassler!
I'll tell you one thing... Cyclone was lucky I was drinkin'!
Soon as I get well... He's had it! 
I'll get him if it's the last thing I ever do...

Caminos Diferentes
Composer(s): Alfredo Gil
Performer(s): Javier Solís



Nos confiamos tantas cosas nos hablamos dulcemente
y entre besos y más besos nos amamos tiernamente
Fueron tantas confidencias remembranzas del pasado
y con lágrimas clavamos del amor nuestro pecado

Hemos tomado caminos diferentes uno del otro
a Dios le pido con fervor olvidarte poco a poco
Nos miramos con tristeza, suspiramos hondamente
y sin decirnos adiós nos dijimos hasta siempre

Hemos tomado caminos diferentes uno del otro
a Dios le pido con fervor olvidarte poco a poco
Nos miramos con tristeza, suspiramos hondamente
y sin decirnos adiós nos dijimos hasta siempre 

Faro-La, Faro-Li (Song Of The New Wine)
Composer(s): Curt Siodmak; Hans J. Salter
Performer(s): Adia Kuznetzoff;
Judy Kaye And The Scarlettes



Come one and all and sing a song
Faro-la, faro-li!
For life is short, but death is long
Faro-la, faro-li!
There'll be no music in the tomb
So sing with joy and down with gloom
Tonight the new wine is in bloom
Faro-la, faro-li!

Tonight we toast our happy host
Faro-la, faro-li!
For he's the man we love the most
Faro-la, faro-li!
He's barrel-chested, dipper-lipped
For drinking wine, he's well-equipped
But where's his chest? It must have slipped
Faro-la, faro-li!

If Franzec never drank at all
Faro-la, faro-li!
He might not care for alchohol
Faro-la, faro-li!
But since he drinks them by the score
He loves his bottles more and more
He even likes them on the floor
Faro-la, faro-li!

Now here's a pair of newly-weds
Faro-la, faro-li!
With love and kisses in their heads
Faro-la, faro-li!
Tonight theres only he and she
Just one and two, as you can see
But very soon they may be three
Faro-la, faro-li!

The wine tonight is nobly blessed
Faro-la, faro-li!
By such a lady and her guest
Faro-la, faro-li!
To them a toast, come drink with me
That they may ever happy be
And may they live eternally
Faro-la, faro-li!

The Ballad Of Paladin

Performer(s): Johnny Western
and multiple other artists



Paladin, Paladin, where do you roam
Paladin, Paladin, far, far from home

Have gun, will travel reads the card of a man
A knight without armour in a savage land
His fast gun for hire heeds the calling wind
A soldier of fortune is the man called Paladin

Paladin, Paladin, where do you roam
Paladin, Paladin, far, far from home

He travels on to wherever he must
A chess knight of silver is his badge of trust
There are campfire legends that the plainsmen spin
Of the man with the gun, of the man called Paladin

Paladin, Paladin, where do you roam
Paladin, Paladin, far, far from home
Far from home
Far from home

Camino Del Indio

Caminito del indio
sendero coya sembrao de piedras
caminito del indio
que junta el valle con las estrellas
Caminito que anduvo
de sur a norte mi raza vieja
antes que en la montaña
la Pachamama se ensombreciera 

Cantando en el cerro
llorando en el río
se agranda en la noche
la pena del indio
El sol y la luna
y este canto mío
besaron tus piedras
camino del indio 

En la noche serrana
llora la quena su honda nostalgia
y el caminito sabe
cuál es la chola que el indio llama 

Se levanta en el cerro
la voz doliente de la baguala
y el camino lamenta
ser el culpable de la distancia 

Cantando en el cerro ... 

Farmer Ferdinand Hudson
Composer(s): Robin Gibb
Performer(s): Robin Gibb



Now it is dawn and a new day is born
But with a trail of despair
The new day was shining but many had gone
Farmer Ferdinand Hudson had lost much more than he'd won

He sat by a table and cried in his rum

The cobwebs hung heavy and dreary beside
All that looked at him could barely decide
He passed for one day so to sleep in that night
And early that morning he died

Ballad Of Muk Tuk Annie
Composer(s): Wilf Carter - John Klenner
Performer(s): Stompin' Tom Connors



Yeah, let me tell you the story about Muk-Tuk Annie
Who came South to go to school
With a see-through blouse and sealskin mini
Old Annie sure looked cool
She blew into Montreal in the early fall
Like nothin' they'd ever seen
With long black hair and reindeer underwear
She weighed about two-sixteen
She came a long, long way from Frobisher Bay
People, doncha know now what I mean
She had the boys all cryin' on the distant early warning line
Old Muk-Tuk Annie could really make the scene

Well she told her teacher that she wanted to dance
Said she wanted to study ballet
But she was four-foot-six with her mukluks off
And I heard her teacher say
"Now I ain't sayin' Annie that you can't dance
No, I wouldn't wanna tell you that
But I got a form here signed in triplicate
Says you gotta learn to drive a cab"
She says, "I don't wanna learn to cook or sew
Build boats or drive no cab
'Cause I came South to sing and dance
And groovy shit like that
'Cause I was Miss Baffin Island Beauty Queen
For nineteen-seventy-four
And I spent a whole weekend in Grise Fiord
With the boys beatin' down the door
She came a long, long way from Frobisher Bay
People, doncha know now what I mean
She had the boys all cryin' on the distant early warning line
Old Muk-Tuk Annie could really make the scene

Well she said, "Thank you for your trouble, Sir
But I'll make it on my own
And the word spread through the North like wildfire
"Big Annie's comin' home"
She got off o' the plane with a record player
Ballet slippers on her toes
And she opened up a little groovy club
Where ev'rybody comes and goes
She got Old Stompin' Tom on the record player
And she serves good booze and grub
And the folks around Baffin Island
Figure it's better'n any old Playboy club
You can drink tea, beer and anti-freeze
Till you fall right off o' your feet
And there's seal flippers and potato chips
When you feel like somethin' to eat
She came a long, long way from Frobisher Bay
People, doncha know now what I mean
She had the boys all cryin' on the distant early warning line
Old Muk-Tuk Annie could really make the scene

Well she packs that joint almost ev'ry night
An' folks come from miles around
And ev'ry night about ten o'clock
All the houselights are turned way down
And suddenly she's on the stage
Wearin' that toothless grin
Short fat Annie, the Goddess o' Love
And she's gonna do her Dance of Sin
Well she jumps and shouts, and huffs and puffs
And does a little bump and grind
And all she's wearin' is them ptarmigan feathers
Scotch-taped to her behind

Well she made about a hundred grand last year
Which wasn't too bad at all
And decided to take a little holiday
So she flew down to Montreal
It seems she ran into her teacher there
You know, the one that she met before
And she gave him a job tendin' the bar
And takin' tickets at her Nightclub door
She come a long, long way from Frobisher Bay
People, doncha know now what I mean
She had the boys all cryin' on the distant early warning line
Old Muk-Tuk Annie could really make the scene
Let me tell ya now, Muk-Tuk Annie could really make the scene
Let me tell ya now, Muk-Tuk Annie could really make the scene

No vale nada la vida
la vida no vale nada
comienza siempre llorando
y así llorando se acaba

Bonito León Guanajuato
su feria con su jugada

la vida no vale nada

Camino de Guanajuato

no pases por Salamanca
que ahí me hierre el recuerdo

adoración de la gente
el Cristo de tu montaña

ahí nomás tras lomita
se ve Dolores Hidalgo
ahí me quedo paisano
ahí es mi pueblo adorado

Farewell Angelina
The bells of the crown
Are being stolen by bandits
I must follow the sound
The triangle tingles
And the trumpets play slow
Farewell Angelina
The sky is on fire
And I must go

There's no need for anger
There's no need for blame
There's nothing to prove
Ev'rything's still the same
Just a table standing empty
By the edge of the sea
Farewell Angelina
The sky is trembling
And I must leave

The jacks and the queens
Have forsaked the courtyard
Fifty-two gypsies
Now file past the guards
In the space where the deuce
And the ace once ran wild
Farewell Angelina
The sky is folding
I'll see you in a while

See the cross-eyed pirates sitting
Perched in the sun
Shooting tin cans
With a sawed-off shotgun
And the neighbors they clap
And they cheer with each blast
Farewell Angelina
The sky's changing color
And I must leave fast

King Kong, little elves
On the rooftops they dance
Valentino-type tangos
While the make-up man's hands
Shut the eyes of the dead
Not to embarrass anyone
Farewell Angelina
The sky is embarassed
And I must be gone

The machine guns are roaring
The puppets heave rocks
The fiends nail time bombs
To the hands of the clocks
Call me any name you like
I will never deny it
Farewell Angelina
The sky is errupting
I must go where it's quiet

The Ballad Of Lucy Jordan
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
First release by: Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists



The morning sun touched lightly on 
The eyes of Lucy Jordan 
In her white suburban bedroom 
In a white suburban town 
As she lay there 'neath the covers 
Dreaming of a thousand lovers 
Till the world turned to orange 
And the room went spinning 'round

At the age of thirty-seven 
She realized she'd never ride 
Through Paris in a sports car 
With the warm wind in her hair 
So she let the phone keep ringing 
As she sat there, softly singing 
Little nursery rhymes she'd memorized 
In her daddy's easy chair

Her husband is off to work 
And the kids are off to school 
And there were, oh, so many ways 
For her to spend the day 
She could clean the house for hours 
Or rearrange the flowers 
Or run naked through the shady streets 
Screaming all the way! 

At the age of thirty-seven 
She realized she'd never ride 
Through Paris in a sports car 
With the warm wind in her hair 
So she let the phone keep ringing 
As she sat there, softly singing 
Little nursery rhymes she'd memorized 
In her daddy's easy chair

The evening sun touched gently on 
The eyes of Lucy Jordan 
On the roof top, where she climbed 
When all the laughter grew too loud 
And she bowed and curtsied to the man 
Who reached and offered her his hand 
And he led her down to the long white car 
That waited past the crowd

At the age of thirty-seven 
She knew she'd found forever
As she rolled along through Paris 
With the warm wind in her hair

Solito con mi caballo
camino de Aguascalientes
voy derechito a San Marcos
la feria de los valientes
a ver si pierde mi gallo
delante de tantas gentes

Borracho y enamorado
no sé cual es mi fortuna
me gusta el cielo nublado
aunque se esconda la luna
yo soy más apasionado
cuando la noche es oscura

Camino de Aguascalientes
a San Marcos voy llegando
a ver si encuentro en su feria
la dicha que ando buscando

Amigo de los amigos
me sé jugar lo que gano
si acaso tengo enemigos
me sé pelear mano a mano
pa'mi no hay hombre más hombre
yo también soy mexicano

El cielo sigue nublado
la luna sigue escondida
y yo sigo apasionado
tomando mucho tequila
queriendo echar un volado
aunque me cueste la vida

Camino de Aguascalientes
a San Marcos voy llegando
a ver si encuentro en su feria
la dicha que ando buscando 

Farewell To Tarwathie
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Judy Collins;
and various other artists



Farewell to Tarwathie
Adieu, Mormond Hill
And the dear land of Crimmond
I bid ye farewell
I'm bound out for Greenland
And ready to sail
In hopes to find riches
In hunting the whale

Adieu to my comrades
For a while we must pairt
And likewise the dear lass
Wha fair won my hairt
The cold ice of Greenland
My love will not chill
And the longer my absence
More loving she'll feel

Our ship is weel rigged
And she's ready to sail
Our crew they are anxious
To follow the whale
Where the icebergs do float
And the stormy winds blaw
Where the land and the ocean
Are covered wi' snaw

The cold coast of Greenland
Is barren and bare
No seed-time or harvest
Is ever known there
And the birds here sing sweetly
On mountain and dale
But there isna a birdie
To sing to the whale

There is no habitation
For a man to live there
And the king of that country
Is the fierce Greenland bear
And there'll be no temptation
To tarry long there
Wi' our ship bumper full we
Will homeward repair

Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney
First release by: The Beatles - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists



Standing in the dock at Southampton, trying to get to Holland or France 
The man in the mac said you've got to go back 
You know they didn't even give us a chance 
Christ you know it ain't easy, you know how hard it can be 
The way things are going, they're going to crucify me 

Finally made the plane into Paris, honeymooning down by the Seine 
Peter Brown call to say, you can make it O.K. 
You can get married in Gibraltar near Spain 
Christ you know it ain't easy, you know how hard it can be 
The way things are going, they're going to crucify me 

Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton, talking in our beds for a week 
The newspapers said, say what're you doing in bed 
I said we're only trying to get us some peace 
Christ you know it ain't easy, you know how hard it can be 
The way things are going, they're going to crucify me 

Saving up your money for a rainy day, giving all your clothes to charity 
Last night the wife said, oh boy when you're dead 
You don't take nothing with you but your soul, Think!

Made a lightning trip to Vienna, eating chocolate cake in a bag 
The newspapers said, she's gone to his head 
They look just like to Gurus in drag 
Christ you know it ain't easy, you know how hard it can be 
The way things are going, they're going to crucify me 

Caught the early plane back to London, fifty acorns tied in a sack 
The men from the press, said we wish you success 
It's good to have the both of you back 
Christ you know it ain't easy, you know how hard it can be 
The way things are going , they're going to crucify me 

The way things are going, they're going to crucify me

Confíame diez pesos
que el destino travieso
me coloca
bien lejos de aquí

Mañana es que me
muevo
y tomo el tren lechero
a una provincia
nueva para mí

Un amigo distante
escritor y comediante
me pide que le vaya a
musicar
la letra de su drama
y aquí voy con buenas
ganas
de ayudar

Voy atravesando
valles
voy parando en el
batey
voy fijando mil
detalles
voy camino a
Camagüey

Voy imaginando
cantos
voy como prefiero ir
voy abordo del
encanto
voy soñando el
porvenir

Avisa a quién tu sabes
y dile que la llame
si la ve por donde
suele estar
a ver acaso acude y se
le va la nube
en lo que vuelvo de mi
laborar

La única amargura
que me llevo a la
aventura
es esta majadera
incomprensión
Ve y dile que por eso
cuando me marche
me da un beso en mi
canción
