Nobody Loves A Fairy When She's Forty Composer(s): Arthur Le Clerq Performer(s): Billy Cotton; Tessie O'Shea
For years a fairy queen I've been For years I foiled the Demon King But alas I'm getting on the years have flown somehow And I feel that Fairy Snowdrop isn't wanted now
Chorus Nobody loves a fairy when she's [forty] fifty Nobody loves a fairy when she's old
She may still have a magic power but that is not enough They like their bit of magic from a younger bit of stuff When once your silver star has lost its glitter And your tinsel looks like rust instead of gold Fairy days are ending when your wand has started bending No-one loves a fairy when she's old
For years I reigned in Fairy Dell I waved my wand and waved it well If I can't do all I did Im satisfied because I'd sooner be a Has-Been than I would a Never Was
Nobody loves.... Nobody loves..
The face of this Immortal One to many has appealed But gone is the illusion once you've had it soled and heeled When you've lost your little fairy dimples And the moth holes in your dress let in the cold The Goblins and the Pixies turn their backs and say Hi Nixey No one loves a fairy when she's old
Nobody loves..... Nobody loves.....
As far as I can see they try to push you off the map When once your wand has withered and your wings refuse to flap When you can't cast a spell without it spilling And a fairy tale for years you haven't told You stand there shouting What O.. but they all pass by your Grotto Nobody loves a fairy when she's old
Nobody loves..... Nobody loves.....
They don't give you an earthly chance to make a livelihood Theyre building council houses now in my enchanted wood When you are past the age for Television And the air you use is government controlled It seems that they would sooner Listen to a blinkin' crooner Nobody loves a fairy when she's old
Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out Composer(s): James Cox Performer(s): Bessie Smith; and various other artists
Once I lived the life of a millionaire Spent all my money, I just did not care Took all my friends out for a good time Bought bootleg whisky, champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go I get my hands on a dollar again I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins
'Cause no, no, nobody knows you When you're down and out In your pocket, not one penny And as for friends, you don't have any
When you finally get back up on your feet again Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt Nobody knows you when you're down and out
When you finally get back upon your feet again Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend Said it's mighty strange Nobody knows you Nobody knows you Nobody knows you when you're down and out
Nobody Knows What I Am Thinking Composer(s): Harry Hemsley Performer(s): Harry Hemsley
To say exactly what I think Dad says is impolite Unless it's complimentary That doesn't seem quite right For when my aunt she starts to sing You'd think she was in pain And if I say "That's beautiful" She starts to sing again
Nobody knows what I'm thinking Every think that I think is my own I guess I would get a good spanking If the things that I think of were known At home I've a new baby brother He does nothing but gurgle and drink They say he's an angel - and I say so too But nobody knows what I think
Sometimes when we have visitors There isn't half a scene If I'm not extra tidy And my hands are none too clean My Daddy he gets vexed with me But not until they've gone He says he's quite ashamed of me Because my clothes are torn
Nobody knows what I'm thinking When sent to the bathroom to wash I think lots of bad words, like "Dash it" And "Blessed", and "Bother" and "Gosh" Once I said "Rats", and my Daddy He whacked me until I was sore If he'd heard the bad words that I thinked of then I bet he'd have whacked me some more
Nobody Knows (And Nobody Seems To Care) Composer(s): Irving Berlin
I'm sad and lonely There's a good reason why Nobody cares about me That's why I'm sad as can be I long for someone Somebody, yes indeed Lovin' kisses from one Is exactly what I need
I'd love a sweetie Hanging around the place Someone to worry about I'd never want to go out My home is gloomy Nobody's there that's why I feel "bride and groomy" Can't you see it in my eye
Many's the time I feel so lonesome But nobody knows And nobody cares I've grown so tired of being by "my own some" I want somebody to hug Cuddle and snug as comfy as a bug in the rug Many's the time I feel like spooning But nobody knows and nobody cares I guess I'll make out a little "ad" That I want some lovin so bad 'Cause nobody knows and nobody seems to care
Nobody Knows Composer(s): Billy Squier Performer(s): Billy Squier
I may get around...I may laugh alot... Now you'd think that I'd be happy with the life I got Nobody knows...nobody sees Ain't nobody really knows the inner side o'me...
I may seem secure...I could have it made... You might think you see a lucky man who made the grade Nobody knows what dreams I see Ain't nobody really sure just who they wanna be...
But everybody has a place and time... A chance to live...a need to find We all got somethin' that we care about I propose you find it out...
It's not in a book...or a magazine... Or the stars who guide our fortunes on the silver screen Nobody knows...it's up to me Ain't nobody who can say it like it outght to be...
I see my future at the rainbow's end Happy hours...timeless friends And if I ever chance to find my way Rest assured...I will stay...
You may see your life as a compromise You may live to find the promise dancin' in your eyes Nobody knows...it's meant to be... Let the magic of the moment say it all to me
Nobody I Know Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney Performer(s): The Beatles; and various other artists
Nobody I know could love me more than you You can give me so much love it seems untrue Listen to the bird who sings it to the tree And then when you've heard him see if you agree Nobody I know could love you more than me
Everywhere I go the sun comes shinin' through Everyone I know is sure it shines for you Even in my dreams I look into your eyes Suddenly it seems I've found a paradise Everywhere I go the sun comes shinin' through
It means so much to be a part Of a heart of a wonderful one When other lovers are gone We'll live on We'll live on
Even in my dreams I look into your eyes Suddenly it seems I've found a paradise Everywhere I go the sun comes shinin' through
Nobody I know could love me more than you You can give me so much love it seems untrue Listen to the bird who sings it to the tree And then when you've heard him see if you agree Nobody I know could love you more than me Nobody I know could love you more than me
Nobody Falls Like A Fool Composer(s): Peter McCann; Mark Wright Performer(s): Earl Thomas Conley
A heart isn't blind It just sees what it wants to see I hope yours is lookin' at mine The way that you're lookin' at me Well I've been around I've taken chances before But this time I'm hopin' for more You're makin' it easy
Chorus: Nobody falls like a fool Nobody loves like a believe After so many dreams have fallen through It's time that one came true Nobody falls like a fool Nobody loves like a believer And I'm fallin' 'cause I believe in you
I know you're afraid Of the words we have spoken There's been so many promises made And so many broken Oh but please don't hold back I've already opened the door And this time I'm hopin' for more You're makin' it easy
Nobody Else In The World But You Composer(s): Don Henley; Jai Winding; Stan Lynch Performer(s): Don Henley
You live in a house of mirrors Reflecting your splendid isolation You have so much of everything Except for true consideration The way you dance The way you walk The way you drive The way you talk The way you eat The way you drink The way you act The way that you dont think
Its like theres Nobody else in the world but you Nobody else in the world Nobody else in the world but you In case you havent noticed Theres lots of other people here, too
Hey now, did your momma teach you anything? Some things still got to be respected Is it a sign of the times, or is it just your callous heart? How did you get so disconnected?
The way you push The way you shove The way you hate The way you love The lies you spin The scenes you make The grief you give The space you take Its like theres
Nobody else in the world but you Nobody else in the world Nobody else in the world but you In case you havent noticed Theres lots of other people here, too
And now its time you did a little giving, baby The world is not your plaything, no, no, no
(Solo)
Nobody else in the world but you Nobody else in the world Nobody else in the world but you In case you havent noticed Theres lots of other people here
Nobody else in the world but you Nobody else in the world Its like theres nobody else in the world but you In case you havent noticed there are lots of other people here, too
Nobody Else But Me Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Oscar Hammerstein II Performer(s): Jimmy Raney; and various other artists
I want to be no one but me I am in love with a lady who likes me the way I am I have my faults, she likes my faults I'm not very bright, she's not very bright
She thinks I'm grand, that's grand for me She may be wrong but if we get along "What do we care?", say we Walking on the shore, swimming in the sea When I am with her, I'm glad the boy who's with her Is nobody else but me
She thinks I'm grand, that's grand for me She may be wrong but if we get along "What do we care?", say we
Walking on the shore, swimming in the sea When I am with her, I'm glad the boy who's with her Is nobody else but me When I am with her, I'm glad the boy who's with her Is nobody else but me
Nobody Does It Like Me Composer(s): Cy Coleman; Dorothy Fields Performer(s): Shirley Bassey; Michele Lee; Martine McCutcheon
If there's a wrong way to do it A wrong way to play it Nobody does it like me If there's a wrong way to do it
A right way to screw it up Nobody does it like me I've got a big loud mouth
I'm always talking much to free If you go for tact and manners Better stay away from me If there's a wrong way to keep it cool A right way to be a fool Nobody does it like me I hear a love song or ballad
I toss like a salad Nobody tosses like me And when my evenings get tougher
I just take two bufferin' And drink a hot cup of tea Last night I met an old acquaintance At a fancy corner pub He said: Come on, let's have some supper So he used my credit-club If there's a wrong way to take a guy The worst way to make a guy Nobody does it like me If there's a wrong bell, I ring it
A wrong note, I sing it Nobody does it like me If there's a problem, I duck it
I don't solve it, I just muck it up Nobody does it like me As though I try to be a lady
I'm no lady, I'm a frog And when I talk like I'm a lady What I sound like is a frog If there's a wrong way to get a guy The right way to lose a guy Nobody does it like me Nobody does it
No, nobody does it Nobody does it like me Nobody does it like me
Nobody Does It Better Composer(s): Marvin Hamlisch; Carol Bayer Sager Performer(s): Carly Simon; and various other artists
Nobody does it better Makes me feel sad for the rest Nobody does it half as good as you Baby you're the best
I wasn't looking But somehow you found me I tried to hide from your love light But like heaven above me The spy who loved me Is keeping all my secrets safe tonight
And nobody does it better Though sometimes I wish someone could Nobody does it quite the way you do Why d'you have to be so good?
The way that you hold me, whenever you hold me There's some kind of magic inside you That keeps me from running But just keep it coming How d'you learn to do the things you do?
And nobody does it better Makes me feel sad for the rest Nobody does it half as good as you Baby baby Baby you're the best...
Nobody Cares If I'm Blue Composer(s): Harry Akst; Grant Clarke Performer(s): Leon Redbone - 1985; and various other artists
Nobody knows, nobody cares if I'm lonesome Nobody sighs, nobody cries if I'm blue
It seems that night after night I sit alone and twiddle my thumbs But still I keep right on hopin', keep the door open But nobody comes
Ain't it a crime, kisses of mine are just wasted Since I'm so blue, I'm singin' what'll I do, boo hoo Like a plaything on the shelf, guess I'll have to be by myself Nobody knows, nobody cares if I'm blue
Nobody knows, nobody cares if I'm lonesome Nobody sighs, nobody cries if I'm blue
I sit at home constantly My company is just the four walls But still I keep right on hopin', keep the door open But nobody calls
Ain't it a crime, kisses of mine are just wasted Since I'm so blue, I'm singin' what'll I do When it comes to happiness, guess I'll have to settle for less Nobody knows, nobody cares if I'm blue
When it comes to happiness Guess I'll have to settle for less Nobody knows, nobody cares if I'm blue
Nobody But Me Composer(s): Doc Pomus; Mort Shuman Performer(s): The Swinging Blue Jeans; The Drifters

Nobody Composer(s): Tom Johnston Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers
Evil ways of practice may surround you callin' on your inner core of life But your father was just a complex man of business and your mother merely portioned out your fright You're gonna run the risk of a sudden loss you got no mama to bear your cross beside you Uh-huh, uh-huh As midnight angels shine their wings and time begins just to build a wall all around you
Nobody, nobody gonna take my love away from me Nobody, nobody gonna take my love away from me
Settin' out on a voyage down to Jenner givin' all I've got to help the cause Need a place just to settle out my pressures a place where you and I can sit and pause So I can see the sky at night without a fear of a hidden light to blind me Mm-mm So you see the path is here and changes will be swayed around me
Nobody, nobody gonna take my love away from me Nobody, nobody gonna take my love away from me
Nobody, nobody gonna take my love away from me Nobody, nobody gonna take my love away from me
Nobody Composer(s): Kye Fleming; Dennis Morgan Performer(s): Sylvia
Sittin' in a restaurant She walked by I seemed to recall That certain look in your eye I said, "Who's that?" You said, with a smile "Aah, it's nobody" Aah, nobody
Maybe that explains the last two weeks You called me up, dead on your feet Working late again I asked who with You said, "Nobody" Aah, nobody
Well your nobody called today She hung up when I asked her name Well, I wonder Does she think she's being clever (Clever, ooh, ooh) You say nobody's after you The fact is what you say is true But I can love you like nobody can Even better
Late last night we went for a drive You were miles away I asked, "Who's on your mind?" You said, "Nobody, (nobody) Why do you ask" Oh, her again I could've told you that
We came back home Got ready for bed I said to myself I've got one shot left Your still mine and I won't stand in line Behind nobody Nobody
Well, your nobody called today She hung up when I asked her name Well, I wonder does she think she's being clever (Clever, ohh, ohh) You say nobody's after you The fact is what you say is true But I can love you like nobody can Even better
Well, your nobody called today She hung up when I asked her name Well, I wonder does she think she's being clever (Clever, ohh, ohh) You say nobody's after you The fact is what you say is true But I can love you like nobody can Even better...

When life seems full of clouds and rain And I am full of nothin' and pain Who soothes my thumping, bumping brain, uummm? Nobody!
When winter comes with snow and sleet And me with hunger and cold feet Who says, "Here's twenty-five cents, go ahead and get somethin' to eat, go on why doncha"? Nobody!
I ain't never done nothin' to nobody I ain't never done nothin' to nobody, no time So until I get somethin' from somebody sometime I'll never do nothin' for nobody, no time
When I was in that railroad wreck And thought I'd cashed in my last check Who took the engine off my neck? Nobody!
One time when things was lookin' bright I started to whittle on a stick one night Who cried out, "Stop now, that's dynamite"? Not a soul!
I ain't never done nothin' to nobody I ain't never done nothin' to nobody, no time So until I get something from somebody, sometime I'll never do nothin' for nobody, no time
----------
As performed by Jimmy Dean:
When life seems full of clouds and rain And I am filled with nought but pain Who soothes my thumpin' bumpin' brain........ Nobody!
When winter comes with snow and sleet And me with hunger and cold feet Who says, "Here's two bits, go eat"........ Nobody!
I ain't never done nothin' to nobody And I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time And until I get somethin' from somebody sometime I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time
When I'm tryin' hard and schemin' a plan To do the very best I can Who says, "Look at that handsome man"........ Nobody!
Well all day long things go amiss And I go home to find some bliss Who's waitin' there with a lovin' kiss........ Nobody!
I ain't never done nothin' to nobody And I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time And until I get somethin' from somebody sometime I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time

No puede ser cobarde el que perdona a un amor que es malo y traicionero El amor es dolor cuando es sincero vergüenza no es llorar, vergüenza no es llorar porque te quiero
Toda mujer bonita será traidora porque al hombre valiente lo hace cobarde
Por su traición el alma quise arrancarle pero al tenerla cerca volví a besarle porque también bonita, porque también bonita era mi madre
Por su traición el alma quise arrancarle pero al tenerla cerca volví a besarle porque también bonita, porque también bonita era mi madre

Yeah Says here in Genesis, one chapter one In the beginning God made the earth And also says here in Genesis, six chapter six That the children of Israel were sinning, a sinning What did I say? They were a sinning That's exactly what I said And when God saw them sinning It hurt Him to his heart, it hurt Him so bad It made Him mad, it made Him so mad he was angry And when God got angry the sky turned dark And it was than that he told Noah to build the ark Who built the ark, Noah Who built the ark, Noah Who built the ark, Noah, Noah Noah built that ark Children stop to steel, listen to me God walked down by the Briny sea Beheld evil of the sinful men Declared that he would destroy the land Spoke to Noah Brother Noah stopped He said look a here Noah build me an ark Won't you build it big and strong Build it 300 cubic long, 30 high, about 50 wide I want it to stand my rain and tide On this day I make my mark In a 100 years I want that ark Knocking thru with this evil land Not a living thing is gonna stand Except the things that I tell to you That I gonna need , when the world is new I've been east and I've been west I decided to put this world at rest I've been up and I've been down Nothing but evil all around I've seen brother turn against brother Up this high and it'll go no further Women weep and children mourn Sorry the day that men was born Sinful people one by one Sorry the day my wrath begun Sorry the day my wrath begun Sorry the day my wrath begun Sorry the day my wrath begun 'Cause it's gonna rain 'Cause it's gonna rain 'Cause it's gonna rain 'Cause it's gonna rain And all this land is my land Not a living thing is gonna stand 'Cause it's gonna rain 'Cause it's gonna rain 'Cause it's gonna rain 'Cause it's gonna rain
Who built the ark? Noah. Yeah Who built the ark? Noah. Yeah Who built the ark? Noah Noah Noah built the ark When after God told him what to do Then the work began cut and hew Ringing o´ the hammer was "judgment" Ringing o´ the saw "God said repent" 100 years he hammered and sawed Building the ark by the grace of God After the foundation was laid Hewed down the timber and the ark was made Called in the animals two by two There was the Ox, the Camel and the Kangaroo Hallowed in the monkey and the crocodile He even made the animals they couldn't smile Packed them in the ark so tight The Owl couldn't get no sleep at night Called in Japheth and Shem and Ham God began to flood the land Raised his hand to heaven on high And knocked that sun and the moon from the sky Shook the mountains and disturbed the sea Hitched his reins to his Chariot Wheel Stepped on land and stood out on shore Declared this time couldn't be no more 'Cause it's gonna rain 'Cause its gonna rain 'Cause its gonna rain 'Cause its gonna rain
