    The D Song



    D, D, D, D
    Daddy dear, oh daddy dear
    do dogs have dreams, do ducks have ears?
    Do dragons dance, why do gophers dig holes?
    Do gophers dress up in their dirty clothes?

    Dogs dream of meat and their dreams are delicious
    Ducks do have ears but they don't do the dishes
    Gophers dig holes to hide their candy bars
    Dragons don't dance and they don't smoke cigars

    Daddy dear, oh daddy sweet
    do dandylions roar, do daisies have feet?
    May I have a drink of water and a dish of tadpoles?
    Daddy how deep is a doughnut hole?

    Dandylions roar and your daddy is deaf
    The daisies drank the water and the tadpoles left
    Your eyes are drooping darling daughter and you're dizzy in the head
    The toads are eating dinner so it's time to go to bed

    Little dolly go to bed

    Carey Gully
    Performer(s): Bon Scott



    You go down Piggy Lane through the flowers
    That paint the hills as far as you can see
    And that´s where I while away my hours
    Hours of eternity

    In a little tin shed on the hillside
    Where we sit and drink our peppermint tea
    And the candlelight flickers inside
    `Cos we haven´t got electricity

    But I know I´ve found peace in Carey Gully
    And I haven´t known that state of mind before
    And I sing as I walk down in the valley
    `Cos those city-things don´t bother me no more

    Well it´s taken such a long time to get there
    And we´ve travelled a long winding road
    Now I sit in my old rocking chair
    And my darling I never will go

    But I know I´ve found peace in Carey Gully
    And I haven´t known that state of mind before
    And I sing as I walk down in the valley
    `Cos those city-things don´t bother me no more
    No, those city-things don´t bother me no more

    Well my sweet baby wears fishnet stockings
    When she starts a rockin' there ain't no stoppin'

    Singing wop bop a doo dop fishnet stockings
    Shoo wop a doo dop when she's rockin'
    Bop bop a doo dop there ain't no stoppin'
    Rockin' with my baby in her fishnet stockings

    Well she's got a pair in pink
    She's got a pair in red
    When she puts the black ones she makes me loose my head

    Singing wop bop a doo dop fishnet stockings
    Shoo wop a doo dop when she's rockin'
    Bop bop a doo dop there ain't no stoppin'
    Rockin' with my baby in her fishnet stockings

    One time

    Well she's got a pair in pink
    She's got a pair in red
    When she puts the black ones she makes me loose my head

    Singing wop bop a doo dop fishnet stockings
    Shoo wop a doo dop when she's rockin'
    Bop bop a doo dop there ain't no stoppin'
    Rockin' with my baby in her fishnet stockings

    Rock it again now

    Well my sweet baby wears fishnet stockings
    When she starts a rockin' there ain't no stoppin'

    Singing wab bop a doo dop fishnet stockings
    Shoo wop a doo dop when she's rockin'
    Bop bop a doo dop there ain't no stoppin'
    Rockin' with my baby in her fishnet stockings

    The Curtain Falls
    Composer(s): Sol Weinstein
    Performer(s): Bobby Darin
    and multiple other artists



    Off comes the makeup, off comes the clown's disguise
    The curtain's falling, the music softly dies
    But I hope you're smiling as you're filing out the door
    As they say in this biz that's all there is, there isn't any more

    We've shared our moment, and as the moment ends
    I've got a funny feeling we're parting now as friends
    Your cheers and laughter will linger
    After they've torn down these dusty walls

    If I had this to do again
    And the evening were new again
    I would spend it with you again
    But now the curtain falls

    People say I was made for this
    Nothing else would I trade for this
    And just think I get paid for this
    Good night, Ladies and Gentlemen and God love you

    Careless Memories Composer(s): Simon LeBon - Nick Rhodes - Andy Taylor - John Taylor - Roger Taylor First release by: Duran Duran - 1981



    So soon
    just after you've gone
    my senses sharpen
    But it always takes
    so damned long
    before I feel how much
    my eyes have darkened

    Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke
    drifting in our room
    so easy to disturb
    with a thought
    with a whisper...
    with a careless memory

    On the table
    signs of love lie scattered...
    and the walls break
    with a crashing within
    It's not as though
    as though you really mattered
    But being close
    how could I let you go
    without some feeling
    some precious sympathy following

    Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke
    drifting in our room
    so easy to disturb
    with a thought
    with a whisper...
    with a careless memory

    I walk out into the sun
    I try to find a new day
    but the whole place
    it just screams in my eyes
    where are you now?
    cuz I don't want to meet you
    I think I'd die
    I think I'd laugh at you
    I think I'd cry
    What am I supposed to do
    follow you?

    Outside the thoughts
    come flooding back now...
    I just try to forget you...
    So easy to disturb
    with a thought...
    with a whisper...
    with a careless memory...

    Performer(s): The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band;
    and various other artists



    Lazy yellow moon comin' up tonite
    shinin' thru the trees
    Crickets are singin' and lightning bugs
    are floatin on the breeze
    Baby get ready.....

    Across the field where the creek turns back by
    the ole stump road
    I'm gonna take you to a special place that
    nobody knows
    Baby get ready.....
    OooooooOooo

    You and me going fishing in the dark
    Lying on our backs and counting the stars
    Where the cool grass grows
    Down by the river in the full moon light
    We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
    Just movin' slow...

    Stayin' the whole night thru
    feels so good to be with you...

    Spring is almost over and the summer's come
    and the days are gettin' long
    Waited all winter for the time to be right
    just to take you along
    Baby get ready.....

    And it don't matter if we sit forever and the fish don't bite
    Jump in the river and cool ourselves from the heat of the night
    Baby get ready.....
    OoooooooOoo.

    Repeat Chorus (x3)

    You and me going fishin' in the dark!

    You made me what I am today, I hope you're satisfied
    You dragged and dragged me down until the soul within me died
    You've shattered each and every dream, fooled me right from the start
    And though you're not true, may God bless you
    That's the curse of an aching heart

    You made me what I am today, I should hope you're satisfied
    You dragged, you dragged me down until the soul within me died
    You've shattered each and every dream, you fooled me right from the start
    And although you're not true, may God bless you
    That's the curse of an aching heart

    You made me what I am today
    I hope you're satisfied
    You dragged me down and down until
    the soul within me died

    You shattered each and every hope
    I loved you from the start
    And although, you're not true, May God bless you
    That's the curse of an aching heart

    and multiple other artists



    The winter it is past and the summer's come at last
    The birds they are singing in the trees
    Their little hearts are glad, but mine is very sad
    For my true love is far away from me
    And straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
    For it's there I'll find tidings of my dear

    The rose upon the briar by the water running clear
    Brings joy to the linnet and the deer
    Their little hearts are blessed, but mine know no rest
    For my true love is far away from me
    And straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
    For it's there I'll find tidings of my dear

    A livery I will wear and I'll comb back my hair
    And in velvet so green I will appear
    And straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
    For it's there I'll find tidings of my dear
    And straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
    For it's there I'll find tidings of my dear

    I'll wear a cap of black with some frills around my neck
    Golden rings on my fingers I will wear
    Oh yes, this I'll undertake for my own true lover's sake
    For he lives in the Curragh of Kildare
    And straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
    For it's there I'll find tidings of my dear

    Oh, you who are in love and cannot it remove
    I pity the pain you do endure
    For experience lets me know that your hearts are full of woe
    Yes, a woe that no other can cure
    And straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
    For it's there I'll find tidings of my dear

    I let my heart fall into careless hands
    Careless hands broke my heart in two
    You held my dreams like worthless grains of sand
    Careless hands don't care when dreams slip through
    I brought you joy
    And girl I loved you so
    But all that sunshine didn't make the roses grow
    If you don't change
    Someday you'll know the sorrow of careless hands
    That can't hold onto love

    I let my heart fall into careless hands
    Careless hands broke my heart in two
    You held my dreams like worthless grains of sand
    Careless hands don't care when dreams slip through
    I brought you joy
    And dear I loved you so
    But all that sunshine didn't make the roses grow
    If you don't change
    Someday you'll know the sorrow of careless hands

    Talking 'bout those hands
    That can't hold onto love
    Talking 'bout those hands
    That can't hold onto love

    They push and they shove, doing the Curly Shuffle

    Hey, Moe! Hey, Moe! (Hey, Moe! Hey, Moe!)
    Well-a nyuk-nyuk-nyuk-nyuk (nyuk-nyuk-nyuk-nyuk)
    Look at the grouse, look at the grouse! (Look at the grouse, look at
    the grouse!)
    Ruff, ruff! (Ruff, ruff!)
    Well, we never miss a chance
    We get up and dance
    And do the Curly Shuffle
    That's right

    (We do the Curly Shuffle) Whatd'ya say?
    (We do the Curly Shuffle) That's what I thought ya said!
    (We do the Curly Shuffle) Ah-ah-ah!
    (We do the Curly Shuffle) Soitenly!
    We never miss a chance
    We get up and dance
    And do the Curly Shuffle

    Careless Darlin' Composer(s): Ernest Tubb - Lou Wayne - Bob Shelton Performer(s): Ernest Tubb and multiple other artists



    You said you'd love me and me alone
    And that you'd always by mine my own
    But someone new came and you did not
    Care to remember so you forgot

    Oh Careless Darlin', how carelessly
    You broke the vow that you made to me
    With all my heart I believed in you
    But Careless Darlin' you were untrue

    Your last goodbye will forever ring
    Within my ear and will heartaches bring
    I kept my promise, I kept my vow
    But you kept nothing it's so plain now

    Oh Careless Darlin', how carelessly
    You broke the vow that you made to me
    With all my heart I believed in you
    But Careless Darlin' you were untrue

    Now if tomorrow these bygone years
    These olden mem-ries should bring you tears
    Think of our parting that luckless day
    You carelessly threw my love away

    Oh Careless Darlin', how carelessly
    You broke the vow that you made to me
    With all my heart I believed in you
    But Careless Darlin' you were untrue

    Firth Of Fifth
    Composer(s): Tony Banks; Phil Collins;
    Peter Gabriel; Steve Hackett; Mike Rutherford
    Performer(s): Genesis;
    and various other artists



    The path is clear
    Though no eyes can see
    The course laid down long before
    And so with gods and men
    The sheep remain inside their pen
    Though many times they've seen the way to leave

    He rides majestic
    Past homes of men
    Who care not or gaze with joy
    To see reflected there
    The trees, the sky, the lily fair
    The scene of death is lying just below

    The mountain cuts off the town from view
    Like a cancer growth is removed by skill
    Let it be revealed
    A waterfall, his madrigal
    An inland sea, his symphony

    Undinal songs
    Urge the sailors on
    Till lured by sirens' cry

    Now as the river dissolves in sea
    So Neptune has claimed another soul
    And so with gods and men
    The sheep remain inside their pen
    Until the Shepherd leads his flock away

    The sands of time were eroded by
    The river of constant change

    Cuff Of My Shirt
    Composer(s): Bob Merrill
    Performer(s): Guy Mitchell



    Oh I stand in a quandary in front of the laundry
    And deep in my heart there's a hurt
    Lost the phone and address of the girl I love best
    Wrote it all on the cuff of my shirt

    Now we met just by chance at the Saturday dance
    And she promised to date me tonight
    But her address and stuff I wrote down on my cuff
    And that shirt of mine's nowhere in sight

    Oh her hair was red and her eyes were blue
    And I dream of holding her tight
    But the moon's on the rise and there's tears in my eyes
    `Cause my arms will be empty tonight

    While I stand in a quandary in front of the laundry
    The girls think I'm down here to flirt
    I'm a man without hope if the suds and the soap
    Wash her name of the cuff of my shirt

    Now we met just by chance at the Saturday dance
    And she promised to date me tonight
    But her address and stuff I wrote down on my cuff
    And that shirt of mine's nowhere in sight

    Oh her hair was red and her eyes were blue
    And I dream of holding her tight
    But the moon's on the rise and there's tears in my eyes
    `Cause my arms will be empty tonight

    While I stand in a quandary in front of the laundry
    The girls think I'm down here to flirt
    I'm a man without hope if the suds and the soap
    Wash her name of the cuff of my shirt
    I'm a man without hope if the suds and the soap
    Wash her name of the cuff of my shirt

    Careless
    Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



    Careless, now that you've got me loving you
    You're careless, careless in ev'rything you do
    You break appointments and think you're smart
    If you're not careful, you'll break my heart

    Careless, now that my bridges all are burned
    You're careless, careless in things where I'm concerned

    Are you just careless, as you seem to be
    Or do you just care less for me?

    Or do you just care less for me?

    First Year Blues
    Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
    Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Hank Williams



    I’ve just been married about six months
    Only six months you see
    First three months was all OK
    But the last three is killing me
    My wife began her hissin’ cut down on her kissin’
    And then failed to shine my shoes
    My shirts a came up wrinkled my pants were dirt and sprinkled
    Then I took the first year blues
    Then she started nagging
    Left the sink a sagging
    With dishes piled up high
    Food up on the table she said if she was able
    She’ll cook something bye and bye
    And I began a wondering
    If I had made a blunder
    When I said “I Do”
    She must of read my thinking
    Her eyes began a blinking
    And that gal broke in two

    We’ll I heard the dishes crashin’
    And I was gently dashing
    Getting out of sight
    Right there was my honey
    On who I spent all my money
    Turning into dynamite
    And after she exploded
    Her meanness all unloaded
    And things began to simmer down
    I found myself a bleeding
    And very much in needing
    Stitches taken all around
    Then she started crying
    I found myself a sighing
    And then I took her in my arms
    I was afraid to scold her
    And so I gently told her
    She didn’t do a bit of harm
    Now the first six months is over
    And I’m much the older
    And experienced with a wife
    If I can with stand the next six
    My friends say I’ll be fixed
    To take it all my life

    Well she brings us glad tidings

    Careful Man Composer(s): Jim Croce Performer(s): Jim Croce



    I don't gamble, I don't fight
    I don't be hangin' in the bars at night
    Yeah I used to be a fighter
    But now I am a wiser man
    I don't drink much, I don't smoke
    I don't be hardly mess around with no dope
    Yeah I used to be a problem
    But now I am a careful man

    But if you used to want to see a commotion
    You should have seen the man that I used to be
    I was trouble in perpetual motion
    Trouble with a capital "T"

    Stayin' out late, havin' fun
    And shot off every single shot in my gun
    Yeah I used to be a lover
    But now I am an older man

    Yeah I used to be a terror but now I am a tired man
