The Carroll County Accident Composer(s): Bob Ferguson Performer(s): Porter Wagoner and multiple other artists
Carroll County's pointed out as kind of square The biggest thing that happens is the county fair I guess that's why we thought it such a big event What we call the Carroll County accident
The wreck was on the highway just outside the line Walter Browning lost his life and for a time It seemed that Mary Ellen Jones would surely die But she lived long enough for her to testify
Walter Browning was a happy married man And he wore a golden wedding ring upon his hand But it was gone, nobody knew just where it went He lost it in the Carroll County Accident
Mary Ellen testified that he flagged her down Said he was sick and could she drive him into town No one ever doubted what she said was true 'Cause she was well respected in the county too
I went down to see the wreck like all the rest The broken glass the bloody seats the tangled mess But I found something no one else had ever seen Behind the dash in Mary's crumpled up machine
A little match box circled by a rubber band And inside the ring from Walter Browning's hand It took awhile to figure out just what it meant The truth about the Carroll County accident
By dark of night I dropped the ring into a well And took a sacred oath that I would never tell The truth about the Carroll County accident For the County ordered dad a marble monument

The Carnival Is Over Composer(s): Tom Springfield First release by: The Seekers - 1965
Say goodbye, my own true lover As we sing a lover's song How it breaks my heart to leave you Now the carnival is gone High above, the dawn is waking And my tears are falling rain For the carnival is over We may never meet again
Like a drum my heart was beating And your kiss was sweet as wine But the joys of love are fleeting For Pierrot and Columbine
Now the harbour light is calling This will be our last goodbye Though the carnival is over I will love you till I die
Like a drum my heart was beating And your kiss was sweet as wine But the joys of love are fleeting For Pierrot and Columbine
Now the harbour light is calling This will be our last goodbye Though the carnival is over I will love you till I die
Though the carnival is over I will love you till I die

Carioca Composer(s): Gus Kahn - Vincent Youmans - Edward Eliscu First performance: Fred Astaire - 1933 Covered by multiple other artists
Say, have you seen a Carioca? It's not a foxtrot or a polka It has a little bit of new rhythm, a blue rhythm that sighs
It has a meter that is tricky A bit of wicked wacky-wicky But when you dance it with a new love, there's a true love in her eye
You dream of a new Carioca Its theme is a kiss and a sigh You dream of a new Carioca When music and lights are gone we say goodbye
Two heads together, they say are better than one Two heads together, that's how the dance is begun Two arms around you and lips, that's why I'm yours and you are mine And you are mine
Now that you've done the Carioca You'll never care to do the Polka And then you'll realize the blue hula and bamboola are through
Tomorrow morning you'll discover You're just a Carioca lover And when you dance it with each new love, there'll be true love just for you
Now you'll dream of a new Carioca Its theme is a kiss and a sigh You'll dream of a new Carioca When music and lights are gone and we're saying goodbye Goodbye

Every time I see you lookin' my way Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat? In the car or walking down the highway Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
When you move up closer to me I get a feelin' that's ooo-wee Can't you hear the poundin' of my heartbeat 'cause you're the one I love, you're the one I love
When I feel you put your arms around me Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat? Then I'm glad, I'm mighty glad I found you Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
When you asked me to meet your Ma I knew that baby, we'd be going far Can't you hear the poundin' of my heartbeat? 'cause you're the one I love, you're the one I love
All my friends are cryin' out to meet you Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat? Now's the time to go and see the preacher Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
Wedding bells are gonna chime Baby, baby, you're gonna be mine Can't you hear the poundin' of my heartbeat 'cause you're the one I love, you're the one I love
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat? Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat? Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
Find Me A Primitive Man Composer(s): Cole Porter Performer(s): Lee Wiley; and various other artists
Now, before this modern idea had burst About the women and children first The men had much more charm than they have today And if only one of that type survived The very moment that he arrived I know I'd fall in love in a great big way I can't imagine being bad With any Arrow collar ad Nor could I take the slightest joy In waking up a college boy I've no desire to be alone With Rudy Vallee's megaphone So when I'm saying my prayers, I say
Find me a primitive man Built on a primitive plan Someone with vigor and vim I don't mean a kind that belongs to a club But the kind that has a club that belongs to him I could be the personal slave Of someone just out of a cave The only man who'll ever win me Has gotta wake up the gypsy in me Find me a primitive man Find me a primitive man
Trouve moi un homme primitif Trouve moi un garcon naif Quelqu'un tout plein de vigeur Ces p'tits maquereaux qu'on appelle gigolos ne Pourraient jamais donner le vrai bonheur J'ai besoin d'un bel animal Pour chauffeur mon chaffage centrale Et l'homme qui me veut pour capitane Devrait reveiler mon sang tzigane Trouve moi un homme primitif, vif Trouve moi un homme primitif
(Find me a primitive man Find me a forthright young lad Someone with vigor to spare Those fatuous beaux they call gigolos could never give me happiness I must have a gorgeous beast To heat up my own central heat And he who aspires to be my stud Must reawake my gypsy blood Find me a primitive man)

The Camel And The Butterfly Composer(s): Frederic Norton
Once upon a time there lived a dromedary Oh, so full of woe was he The reason was, because he could not fly like a fairy Oh, so full of woe was he
One day he chanced to spy A gorgeous butterfly Said he, "Oh! would you be so kind To teach me how to fly?"
And the butterfly just cock'd his eye He saw a chance of fun Said he, aloud, "'Twill make me proud "To show you how it's done"
Said the butterfly, "You must climb that mountain bare" (Oh! so weary was the dromedary) "And when you reach the top You must take a jump in the air You will fly like a fairy"
The camel closed his eyes And took an awful jump The earth it shook for miles around He fell with such a bump!
And I grieve to say, since that sad day All through that dreadful jump That camels all, both great and small Have always had the... Have always had the hump!
Can't We Try Composer(s): Dan Hill Performer(s): Dan Hill
I see your face cloud over like a little girls And your eyes have lost their shine You whisper something softly I'm not meant to hear Baby tell me what's on your mind I don't' care what people say About the two of us from different worlds I love you so much that it hurts inside Are you listening Please listen to me girl
Can't we try just a little bit harder Can't we give just a little bit more Can't we try to understand That it's love we're fighting for Can't we try just a little more passion Can't we try just a little less pride I love you so much baby That it tears me up inside
I hear you on the telephone With god knows who Spilling out your heart for free Everyone needs someone they can talk to Girls that someone should be me
So many times I've tried to tell you You just turn away My life is changing so fast now Leaves me lonely and afraid
Can't we try just a little bit harder Can't we give just a little bit more Can't we try to understand That it's love we're fighting for Can't we try just a little more passion Can't we try just a little less pride
I love you so much baby That it tears me up inside Don't let our love fade away No matter what people say I need you more and more each day
Can't we try just a little bit harder Can't we give just a little bit more Can't we try just a little bit harder Can't we give just a little bit more Can't we try just a little more passion Can't we try just a little less pride Love you so much baby Tears me up inside
Fim Do Mundo Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner; Fausto Nilo Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
Faça comigo, cantoria de alegria Juro que sou assim Do fim do mundo, do fim Faça comigo, um embarque sem retorno Juro que sou assim Do fim do mundo, do fim Faça comigo um pouquinho de cuidado Juro que sou assim Do fim do mundo, do fim Se junto a mim O rio dos meus sonhos Hoje é todo paraíso E hoje se fez manhã
Parece que chorando eu chego perto E nós nesse deserto Filhos nascidos do sol, da noite, da lua Parece o fim do mundo, o fim
The Cajun Queen Composer(s): Wayne Walker Performer(s): Jimmy Dean; Jack Dean; Don Sebesky
She kinda breezed into town from New Orleans And said, "Boys, I'm Big John's Cajun Queen Now I didn't come here to argue or waste anbody's time I just came to get my man from your dirty old mine 'Cause he moves me! Now where you give up's where old Queenie's gonna start 'Cause I got a powerful love in my heart So just show me the hole way down in the ground And tell the whole wide world Big John's been found And he's livin'!"
So down in the mine without a sign of a light Old Queenie went a-lookin' for John that night She found him there at the bottom of the pit And placed a red hot kiss on those cold blue lips! He started breathin'! She waited a minute and then she kissed him again And old John got the power of a hundred men Up he come a-clawin' and a-diggin' like a mole And said, "Come on Queenie, we're gonna leave this hole!" They started walkin'!
Now a roar from the crowd greeted this fine pair As they both walked out in that cool night air And up for silence went Big John's hand And the Queen said, "I told you I'd get my man 'Cause he moves me!" You can find them today, they're down in New Orleans Big Bad John and his Cajun Queen They're a little bit wrinkled from the strain of time But their love's just as strong as that night in the mine A hundred and ten grandchildren!
Now the moral of this story has a real clear omen Don't you ever underestimate the power of a woman!
Can't We Just Sit Down (And Talk It Over) Composer(s): Tony McAulay Performer(s): Donna Summer
Cold and lonely night, you dont have to leave at all A car rolls up outside on time, a moment from your call And handshake seems more fitting than a kiss Such a shame that you and I should have to end like this
Cant we just sit down and talk it over Surely you can ask the better way Strange that youre the one so set on leaving And Im the one who said last night that it was all too late
Cant we just sit down and talk it over Who knows, maybe in a little while Well forget our pride, and the things we said last night And maybe you and I can talk it out
Tonight stay somewhere warm, they say its gonna freeze You may not find a place at all, so be sure and take your keys I can almost taste the silence now Does it really matter still, Who was wrong, who let who down
Cant we just sit down and talk it over Who knows, maybe in a little while Well forget our pride, and the things we said last night And maybe you and I can talk it out
Hold on, hold on Surely you and I can talk it out Hold on, hold on Surely you and I can make it right Hold on, hold on, yeah Cant we just sit down and talk it over Hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on
The Caissons Go Rolling Along Composer(s): Major Edmund L. Gruber Performer(s): Bob Crosby & His Orch. and multiple other artists
Over hill, over dale As we hit the dusty trail And the Caissons go rolling along In and out, hear them shout Counter march and right about And the Caissons go rolling along
Then it's hi! hi! hee! In the field artillery Shout out your numbers loud and strong For where e'er you go You will always know That the Caissons go rolling along
In the storm, in the night Action left or action right See those Caissons go rolling along
Limber front, limber rear Prepare to mount your cannoneer And those Caissons go rolling along
Then it's hi! hi! hee! In the field artillery Shout out your numbers loud and strong For where e'er you go You will always know That the Caissons go rolling along
Was it high, was it low Where the hell did that one go? As those Caissons go rolling along Was it left, was it right Now we won't get home tonight And those Caissons go rolling along
Then it's hi! hi! hee! In the field artillery Shout out your numbers loud and strong For where e'er you go You will always know That the Caissons go rolling along That the Caissons go rolling along That the Caissons go rolling along
