    Daisey
    Composer(s): Chad Garrett
    Performer(s): Pearly Gate



    Daisey, where are you growin'?
    Are you sowin' some new seed?
    Daisey, I can feel you growin' on me

    Daisey, beggin' your pardon
    I dig your garden of sunshine
    Daisey, show me how to make you mine

    And if you're willin' to take time, Daisey
    You can show me the way, girl
    'Cause I know if we make time, Daisey
    Every month would be like May

    Aaah aaah aaah aaah
    Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
    Aaah aaah aaah aaah
    Aaah aaah aaah

    And if you're willin; to take time, Daisey
    You know you might wanna stay, girl
    'Cause I know if we make time, Daisey
    Every month would be like May

    Daisey, hold on I'm comin'
    No need for thumbin' a new ride
    Daisey
    We can get it on if we try
    We can get it on if we try
    We can get it on if we try...

    Caroline, Caroline Composer(s): Louis Benech - Vincent Scotto Performer(s): André Bourvil; Mireille Ponsard



    Voilà huit heures qui sonnent, c'est dimanche coco
    Déjà l'soleil rayonne à travers les rideaux
    J'ai touché ma quinzaine, si tu le veux tantôt
    Nous irons à Vincennes, dîner au bord de l'eau
    Vite en bas du lit, passe moi mes habits
    Et jetons du jus dans Paris

    Caroline, Caroline, mets tes p'tits souliers vernis
    Ta robe blanche des dimanches
    Et ton grand chapeau fleuri
    Caroline, Caroline, t'arrêt' pas comm' ça en ch'min
    Marche plus vite, ma petite
    Tu vas nous fair' rater l'train

    Installons-nous ma chère sur le bord du talus
    Mets un journal par terre, on va manger là-d'ssus
    Pourquoi qu'tu fais la tête, tu n'as qu'à faire comme moi
    Quand on n'a pas d'fourchettes, on mange avec les doigts
    T'as fini déjà, ah! quel estomac
    Où qu't'as donc fourré tout ça?

    Caroline, Caroline, on a tout d'même bien dîné
    Plus personne, viens mignonne
    C'est l'moment d'aller s'prom'ner
    Caroline, Caroline, les p'tits oiseaux font cui-cui
    Sur la mousse, fraîche et douce
    Moi j'le ferais bien aussi

    Mais là-bas il y a la fête, j'entends l'accordéon
    Prépare tes gambettes, on va faire un boston
    J'cède à tous tes caprices, j'te paie un mirliton
    Un cochon d'pain d'épice, ous' qu'il y a mon nom
    Tu le mangeras
    Quand j'serai pas là
    Ça t'fera penser à moi

    Caroline, Caroline, relév' ta jupe en dansant
    Aie d'l'allure, va en mesure
    On s'croirait chez l'Président
    Caroline, Caroline, qu'est c'qu'ils ont à nous r'garder
    Tu m'fais honte, allons, r'monte
    Ton pantalon qu'est tombé

    C'est pas d'chance, ma poulette, voilà qu'il tombe de l'eau
    Mets ta jupe sur ta tête pour garer ton chapeau
    Moi j'te suis par derrière, ta ch'mise dépasse un peu
    Mais, grâce à ta bannière, j'te perdrai pas des yeux
    Nous v'là arrivés
    C'qu'on est éreinté
    C'est pas trop tôt d'se reposer

    Caroline, Caroline
    Ah! c'qu'on est bien dans son lit
    Tu soupires, tu veux rire
    Ça c'est pas pour aujourd'hui
    Caroline, Caroline, veux-tu bien r'tirer ta main
    Pas d'tapage, si t'es sage
    Ça s'ra pour dimanche prochain

    Flaming Star
    Composer(s): Sid Wayne; Sherman Edwards
    Performer(s): Elvis Presley; The Headliners



    Ev'ry man has a flaming star
    A flaming star over his shoulder
    And when a man sees his flaming star
    He knows his time, his time has come

    Flaming star, don't shine on me, flaming star
    Flaming star, keep behind me, flaming star
    There's a lot o' livin' I got to do
    Give me time to make a few dreams come true
    Flaming star (Flaming star)

    When I ride, I feel that flaming star
    That flaming star over my shoulder
    And so I ride, front of that flaming star
    Never lookin' around, never lookin' around

    Flaming star, don't shine on me, flaming star
    Flaming star, keep behind me, flaming star
    There's a lot o' livin' I gotta do
    Give me time to make a few dreams come true
    Flaming star (Flaming star)

    One fine day, I'll see that flaming star
    That flaming star over my shoulder
    And when I see that old flaming star
    I'll know my time, my time has come

    Flaming star, don't shine on me, flaming star
    Flaming star, keep behind me, flaming star
    There's a lot o' livin' I gotta do
    Give me time to make a few dreams come true

    The Desert Song
    Composer(s): Sigmund Romberg - Otto Harbach - Oscar Hammerstein II
    Performer(s): Mario Lanza with Judith Raskin
    and multiple other artists



    Why spend your time in vague romancing
    When life itself is at your call
    I come to you my heart advancing
    O come with me and you will be my all

    You turn away and yet you tremble
    My little bird has wings it seems
    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    My desert is waiting
    Dear, come there with me
    I'm longing to teach you
    Love's sweet melody

    I'll sing a dream-song to you
    Painting a picture for two

    Blue heaven and you and I
    And sand kissing a moonlit sky
    A desert breeze whisp'ring a lullaby
    Only stars above you
    To see I love you

    Oh, give me that night divine
    And let my arms in yours entwine
    The desert song calling
    Its voice enthralling
    Will make you mine

    There is a girl
    She really is fine, so fine

    She is the fairest of them all
    And I'll come runnin' when she calls

    The girl of my dreams, my dreams
    She's on my mind
    Forever it seems, it seems
    We'll hope forever
    We'll dream together

    Composer(s): Syd Barrett

    Alone in the clouds all blue
    Lying on an eiderdown
    Yippee! You can't see me
    But I can you

    Lazing in the foggy dew
    Sitting on a unicorn
    No fair, you can't hear me
    But I can you

    Watching buttercups cup the light
    Sleeping on a dandelion
    Too much, I won't touch you
    But then I might

    Screaming through the starlit sky
    Travelling by telephone
    Hey ho, here we go
    Ever so high

    Alone in the clouds all blue
    Lying on an eiderdown
    Yippee! You can't see me
    But I can you

    The Deepest Shelter In Town
    Composer(s): Jones
    Performer(s): Florence Desmond



    Don't run away mister
    Oh, stay and play mister
    Don't worry if you hear the sirens go
    Though I'm not a lady of the highest virtue
    I wouldn't dream of letting anything hurt you
    And so before you go, I think you ought to know

    I've got a cosy flat, there's a lace for your hat
    I wear a pink chiffon négligé gown
    And do I know my stuff, but if that's not enough
    I've got the deepest shelter in town

    I've got a room for two, a radio that's new
    An alarm clock that won't let you down
    And I've got central heat, but to make it complete
    I've got the deepest shelter in town

    Every modern comfort I can just guarantee
    If you hear the siren call then it's probably me

    And, sweetie, to revert, I'll keep you on the alert
    I won't even be wearing a frown
    So you can hang around here until the all clear
    In the deepest shelter in town

    Now honey, I don't sing of an Anderson thing
    Climbing in one you look like a clown
    But if you came here to see, why Sir John would agree
    I've got the deepest shelter in town

    Now Mr. Morrison says he's getting things done
    And he's a man of the greatest renown
    But before it gets wrecked, I hope you'll come and inspect
    The deepest shelter in town

    Now I was one of the first to clear my attic of junk
    But when it comes to shelters nowadays it's all bunk

    So honey, don't get scared, it's there to be shared
    And you'll feel like a king with a crown
    So please don't be mean, better men than you have been
    In the deepest shelter
    The neatest shelter
    The deepest shelter in town

    Dans le tumulte infernal
    D'un gigantesque bal
    De 14 juillet
    Ton cœur fit à sa façon
    Une révolution
    Mais seul ton corps dansait
    La carmagnole
    Tu acceptais ton destin
    Mais gardais néanmoins
    Malgré tes airs frivoles
    Ton cœur pour l'homme de ta vie
    Caroline chérie

    Dans l'immense tourbillon
    Quand l'enfer des passions
    Enflammait les esprits
    Toi tout simplement armée
    De ta seule beauté
    Tu as su à tout prix
    Garder ta tête
    En faisant des concessions
    Car l'âme a ses raisons
    Que la raison rejette
    L'amour vaut bien quelques folies
    Caroline chérie

    Tu vivais de la folle moisson
    Des doux printemps de ta vie
    Et quand tu criais non
    Tout en toi semblait dire oui
    À l'amour comme à l'amour
    Tu as suivi le cours
    Tracé par ton destin
    Et ta jeunesse en péril
    Suspendue à un fil
    N'appartenait à rien, ni à personne
    Mais rêvait à l'homme
    Qui allume de ses nuits
    Qui vous révolutionne
    T'apportant la joie par ce cri
    Caroline chérie

    Flamethrower
    Composer(s): Seth Justman
    Performer(s): J. Geils Band



    All day long she holds it back
    Back with all her might
    She carries a burnin' torch inside
    She holds it firm and tight
    She punches out the clock
    While it keeps punchin' out her life
    She's a flamethrower, red-hot glower
    Flamethrower at night
    The things she wears at work
    They hang off her kinda loose
    Her blouse don't fit, the pants ain't right
    She ain't no front page news
    But when her work is done
    And the daytime turns to night
    The headlines flash in neon
    That the girl has taken flight
    Chairman of the board
    Won't look her in the eye
    The fire of her vision
    His money just can't buy
    Silently she waits
    Silently she contemplates
    She can make 'em tremble
    You know the reason why
    Chorus
    She's a flame - flamethrower
    She's a flamethrower at night
    She's a flame - a red-hot glower
    She's a flamethrower at night
    You might think you're burnin'
    All your candles at both ends
    Maybe you should go to church
    To make up some amends
    But if you think you're fireproof
    So cool and much too much
    Don't dare go near my baby
    'Cause she'll melt you with her touch
    I forget the darkness
    I forget the pain
    When she's movin' through my heart
    And when she's pumpin' through my veins
    She's the part inside me
    I never can control
    And she's the only reason
    I know I've got a soul
    Chorus

    The Death Of Little Kathy Fiscus
    Composer(s): Jimmie Osborne
    Performer(s): Jimmie Osborne; Howard Vokes



    On April the eighth, the year forty-nine
    Death claimed a little child, so pure and so fine
    Kathy they called her, met her doom that day
    I know it was God that called her away

    Playmates of Kathy were all havin' fun
    The story was told, they all started to run
    And as they looked back, she wasn't there
    It's so sad to think of this tragic affair

    Just like a beast in a forest that day
    The abandoned well took Kathy away
    For over two days the well was her tomb
    Everyone kept prayin' they'd get her out soon

    Thousands were there, from far and from near
    Workmen they struggled, against sadness and tears
    But after two days, their hopes grew so weak
    They called down to Kathy, but she never did speak

    After working so hard, both day and night
    Digging for hours, she came into sight
    The little darlin' was dead, her life it was gone
    Now in San Merino there's a heartbroken home

    I'm sure she's an angel in God's peaceful fold
    Playing with children in a mansion of gold
    As I stand alone, humbly I bow
    I know Kathy's happy, up there with God now

    Carolina Sunshine Composer(s): Walter Hirsch - Erwin R. Schmidt



    Down in Carolina where the sunbeams play
    Down where all the world seems bright
    Pickaninies romping all the day
    In the cotton fields of white
    How my heart is yearning to be there once more
    Just to hear the darkies song
    Carolina sunshine calls me back to the place where I belong

    Carolina Sun I'm lonesome
    Carolina Sun I'm blue
    When the day is done I'm pining
    For a sight of you
    Makes no difference where I wander
    Any place I chance to roam
    When the golden sun sinks in the West
    Then I think of home

    You're walking, talking like a flame, baby
    You're walking, talking like a flame, baby

    Never knew what my heart would be facing
    Guess I must have been blind saying goodbye yo you, baby
    Close my eyes at night I can taste it
    I'm running back in the fire where I once had you, baby

    You said don't ever leave me
    But I say that's something I won't ever do

    I want you back in my arms
    In the flames of paradise
    In the flames of paradise
    I want you back in my arms
    In the flames of paradise
    The flames of paradise

    I give all of my love just to you
    It's been so long baby
    I give you all my love waits for you
    Don't take too long baby

    I've been making some brave conversation
    Telling friends I'm way better off without you
    Then I was living in my imagination
    Thinking I could make it without you too baby

    My heart tried to deceive me
    But that's one thing it just can't do

    You said don't ever leave me
    Oh that's one thing I won't ever do

    The Dean And I
    Performer(s): 10 cc



    Hum drum days
    And a hum drum ways

    Hey kids, let me tell you how I met your mom
    We were dancin' and romancin' at the Senior Prom
    It was no infatuation
    But a gradual graduation
    From a boy to a man
    Let me tell you while I can
    The soda pop came free

    Hey sis one kiss and I was heaven bound
    Now who would have guessed
    Milton's Paradise Lost
    Could be found?

    But in the eyes of the Dean his daughter
    Was doin' what she shouldn'a oughta
    But a man's got to do
    What a man's got to do
    The consequence should be
    Church bells, three swells
    The Dean, his daughter, and me

    They were dating in the park
    They were smooching in the dark
    Of a doorway for two
    She whispered "I love you
    Ooh, you know I never felt this way before
    Ooh, you know the elevator in my heart
    Has gone awol awol awol"

    And then I kissed her
    And when I kissed her
    It's a wonderful world
    When you're rolling in kisses

    Now, the paint is peeling
    Now, and when the chips are dowin
    Now, you kinda lose all feeling
    Now, your head goes round and round
    Round and round and round and round
    And round and round and round
    I'm throwing myself off this train

    Hum drum days
    And a hum drum ways
    Hum drum days
    And a hum drum ways
    Hum drum days, he's got
    Hum drum ways, oh boy

    Hey, you know I'm really earning now
    My ship came in with a cargo of dollars
    My name's lit up on the prow
    It's a wonderful world
    When you're rolling in dollars
    Rolling in dollars
    Rolling in dollars
    Now

    dann komm ich wieder zu dir
    Flamenco espanol

    The Deadwood Stage
    Composer(s): Sammy Fain - Paul Francis Webster
    Performer(s): Doris Day
    and multiple other artists



    Oh, the Deadwood stage is a-rolling on over the plains
    With the curtains flappin’ and the driver a-snappin’ the reins
    A beautiful sky, a wonderful day
    Whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away

    Oh, the Deadwood stage is a-headin’ on over the hills
    Where the Injun arrows are thicker than porcupine quills
    Dangerous land, no time to delay
    So, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away

    We’re headed straight for town
    Loaded down with a fancy cargo
    Care of Wells & Fargo, Illinois, boy

    Oh, the Deadwood stage is a-comin’ on over the crest
    Like a homing-pigeon that’s a-hankerin’ after its nest
    Twenty-three miles we’ve covered today
    So, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away

    Introducing Henry Miller
    Just as busy as a fizzy sasparilla
    Ain’t a showman any smarter operates the Golden Garter
    When the cream of Deadwood City comes to dine
    And I’m glad to say he’s a friend of mine
    Hi Joe, say, where d’ya get them fancy clothes
    I know, off some fella’s laundry line
    Hi Beau, aren’t you a prairie rose
    Smellin’ like a watermelon vine
    Here’s a man the sheriff watches
    On his gun there’s more than twenty-seven notches
    On the draw there’s no one faster and you’re flirting with disaster
    When Bill Hickok’s reputation you malign
    And I’m glad to say he’s a very good friend of a friend of mine

    Carolina In The Morning Composer(s): Walter Donaldson - Gus Kahn First performance/First recording by: Willie & Eugene Howard - 1922/Marion Harris - 1922 Covered by multiple other artists



    "Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina"

    Wishing is good time wasted
    Still it's a habit they say
    Wishing for sweet's I've tasted
    That's all I do all day
    Maybe there's nothing in wishing
    But, speaking of wishing I'll say

    Nothing could be finer
    Than to be in Carolina
    In the morning

    No one could be sweeter
    Than my sweetie when I meet her
    In the morning

    When the morning glories
    Twine around the door
    Whispering pretty stories
    I long to hear once more
    Strolling with my girlie
    Where the dew is pearly early
    In the morning

    Butterflies all flutter up
    And kiss each little buttercup
    At dawning
    If I had Alladin's lamp
    For only a day
    I'd make a wish
    And here's what I'd say

    Nothing could be finer
    Than to be in Carolina
    In the morning

    Dreaming was meant for night time
    I live in dreams all the day
    I know it's not the right time
    But still I dream away
    What could be sweeter than dreaming
    Just dreazming and drift away

    Nothing could be finer
    Than to be in Carolina
    In the morning

    No one could be sweeter
    Than my sweetie when I meet her
    In the morning

    When the morning glories
    Twine around the door
    Whispering pretty stories
    I long to hear once more
    Strolling with my girlie
    Where the dew is pearly early
    In the morning

    Butterflies all flutter up
    And kiss each little buttercup
    At dawning
    If I had Alladin's lamp
    For only a day
    I'd make a wish
    And here's what I'd say

    Nothing could be finer
    Than to be in Carolina
    In the morning

    Flamenco Des Flandres
    Performer(s): Georges Moustaki



    Mille ans déjà que je suis là
    Sur la terre des Flandres
    Soldat du roi, sans foi ni loi
    Sans plus rien attendre
    Soldat qui n'a que ses dix doigts
    Pour jouer sur sa guitare
    Le flamenco, dernier écho
    D'un reste de mémoire

    Dans mon pays, là-bas très loin
    Entre la mer et la montagne
    Il y a la fille que j'aimais bien
    Qui devait être ma compagne

    Les filles d'ici sont bien jolies
    On en oublie la guerre
    Leurs yeux sont bleus et leurs cheveux
    Plus blonds que la lumière
    Pour s'enivrer, au cabaret
    On s'offre du genièvre
    Mais rien n'y fait pour étouffer
    L'air qui monte à mes lèvres

    Dans mon pays, là-bas très loin
    Entre la mer et la montagne
    Il y a la fille que j'aimais bien
    Qui devait être ma compagne

    Mais si je meurs au champ d'honneur
    Dites à mes camarades
    Qu'ils ne fassent pas sonner le glas
    Aux cloches de Grenade

    Pour demander l'éternité
    Suffit d'une guitare
    Et quelque part une fille en noir
    Qui me garde en mémoire

    "En mi país ahi muy lejo
    Mentre il mar e la montaña
    Esta la niña que io quería"

    D-Day Dodgers
    Performer(s): Ian Campbell Folk Group - 1966
    and multiple other artists



    There is a song the Eighth Army used to sing
    Marching through the desert, marching with a swing
    But now they're on a different game
    Although the tune is still the same
    The words have all been altered
    The words we're singing still...

    We're the D-Day Dodgers, here in Italy
    Drinking all the vino, always on a spree
    We didn't land with Eisenhower
    And so they think we're just a shower
    For we're the D-Day Dodgers
    Out here in Italy

    We're the D-Day dodgers, out here in Italy
    Always drinking vino, always on a spree
    Eighth Army scroungers and their tanks
    We go to war in ties, like swanks
    We are the D-Day Dodgers
    Way out in Italy

    Here's to Lady Astor, our pin up girl out here
    She's the dear old lady, who sends us such good beer
    And when we get our Astor band
    We'll be the proudest in the land
    For we're the D-Day Dodgers
    Out here in Italy

    We landed in Salerno, a holiday with pay
    Jerry brought the band out to cheer us on our way
    Showed us the sights and gave us tea
    We all sang songs, the beer was free
    To welcome D-Day Dodgers
    To sunny Italy

    Salerno and Cassino, were taken in our stride
    We didn't go to fight there, we went there for the ride
    Anzio and Sanzio were just names
    We only went to look for dames
    The artful D-Day Dodgers
    Out here in Italy

    Around Lake Trasimano, we had a lovely time
    Bags of wine and women, they didn't cost a dime
    Base wallahs, amgot and the Yanks
    All stayed in Rome to dodge the tanks
    For we're the D-Day Dodgers
    Out here in Italy

    We stayed a week in Florence, polished off the wine
    Then thumbed our way to Rimini, through the Gothic Line
    Soon to Bologna we will go
    When Jerry's gone across the Po
    For we're the D-Day Dodgers
    The lads that D-Day dodged

    We hear the boys in France are going home on leave
    After six months service, it's a shame they're not relieved
    But we can carry on out here
    For what may be a few more years
    For we're the D-Day Dodgers
    Out here in Italy

    Once we heard a rumour we were going home
    Back to dear old Blighty, never more to roam
    Then someone said in France you'll fight
    We answered: "No, we'll just sit tight!"
    For we're the D-Day Dodgers
    The lads that D-Day dodged

    When the war is over and we've done our bit
    Climbing over mountains, through mud and sleet and
    Then we will all be sent out east
    Till B.L.A. have been released
    For we're the D-Day Dodgers,
    Out here in Italy.

    Forgotten by the many, remembered by the few
    We'd our armistice when an armestice was new
    One million Germans gave up to us
    We finished our war without much fuss
    For we're the D-Day Dodgers
    Out here in Italy

    Dearest Lady Astor, you think you're mighty hot
    Standing on the platform, talking tommyrot
    Dear England's sweetheart and her pride
    We think your mouth's too bleedin' wide
    >From all the D-Day Dodgers
    In sunny Italy

    If you look around the mountains in the mud and rain
    You'll find scattered crosses, some which bear no name
    Heart break and toil and suffering gone
    The boys beneath them slumber on
    For they're the D-Day Dodgers
    Who stayed in Italy

    Carolina In My Mind Composer(s): James Taylor First release by: James Taylor - 1968 Covered by multiple other artists



    In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina
    Can't you see the sunshine
    Can't you just feel the moonshine
    Maybe just like a friend of mine
    It hit me from behind
    Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

    Karin she's a silver sun
    You best walk her way and watch it shinin'
    Watch her watch the mornin' come
    A silver tear appearing now I'm cryin'
    Ain't I goin' to Carolina in my mind

    There ain't no doubt it no ones mind
    That loves the finest thing around
    Whisper something soft and kind
    And hey babe the sky's on fire, I'm dyin'
    Ain't I goin' to Carolina in my mind

    In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina
    Can't you see the sunshine
    Can't you just feel the moonshine
    Maybe just like a friend of mine
    It hit me from behind
    Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

    Dark and silent last last night
    I think I might have heard the highway calling
    Geese in flight and dogs that bite
    Signs that might be omens say I going, going
    I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

    With a holy host of others standing 'round me
    Still I'm on the dark side of the moon
    And it seems like it goes on like this forever
    You must forgive me
    If I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind

    In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina
    Can't you see the sunshine
    Can't you just feel the moonshine
    Maybe just like a friend of mine
    It hit me from behind
    Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind
