Denver
Composer(s): Randy Sparks
Performer(s): The New Christy Minstrels



(Come on big mule!)
I was drivin' a rig out o' Texas
All loaded an' bound for Cheyenne
Takin' my pleasures so freely
Just a good lovin' ramblin' man

I had a way with the ladies
Sweet Daddy was my middle name
Till I got to a place they called Denver
An' I ain't never been quite the same

I've been to Saint Louis an' Abilene
I've rambled through many a town
But I got me a woman in Denver, Lord
That's where I'm settlin' down

Well, I kissed her an' swore that I loved her
I told her some day she'd be mine
Then I laughed all the way back to Texas
Hah-hah, to think she'd believe that ol' line

Well, I got to pining for Denver
It's funny how things come to be
As I slipped the ring on her finger
Well, I knew that the laugh was on me

I've been to Saint Louis an' Abilene
I've rambled through many a town
But I got me a woman in Denver, Lord
That's where I'm settlin' down

Now all you young fellas take warning
You single men, run for your life
Be careful an' stay out o' Denver
Or else you'll wind up with a wife

You'll walk down the street unsuspectin'
An' you won't believe what you see
'Cause the prettiest girls live in Denver
Lord, you'll wind up happy, like me

I've been to Saint Louis an' Abilene
I've rambled through many a town
But I got me a woman in Denver, Lord
That's where I'm settlin' down

Got me a woman in Denver, Lord
That's where I'm settlin' down

De alto cedro voy para marcané 
Luego a cuelto voy para mayari 

El carino que te tengo 
Yo no lo puedo negar 
Se me sale la babita 
Yo no lo puedo evitar

Cuando Juanita y chan chan 
En el mar cernian arena 
Como sacudia el «jibe» 
A Chan Chan le daba pena

Limpia el camino de paja 
Que yo me quiero sentar 
En aquel tronco que veo 
Y asi no puedo llegar

De alto cedro voy para marcané 
Luego a cuelto voy para mayari

Friendship

Performer(s): Judy Garland;
and various other artists



If you're ever in a jam, here I am 
If you're ever in a mess, S-O-S 
If you ever feel so happy, you land in jail... I'm your bail
It's friendship, friendship, just a perfect blendship
When other friendships have been forgot
Ours will still be hot
Lah-dle-ah-dle-ah-dle dig, dig, dig

If you're ever up a tree, phone to me
If you're ever down a well, ring my bell
If you ever lose your teeth, and you're out to dine... borrow mine
It's friendship, friendship, just a perfect blendship
When other friendships have been forgate
Ours will still be great
Lah-dle-ah-dle-ah-dle, chuck, chuck, chuck
 
If they ever black your eyes, put me wise 
If they ever cook your goose, turn me loose
If they ever put a bullet through your brain... I'll complain
It's friendship, friendship, just a perfect blendship
When other friendships have been forgit
Ours will still be it
Lah-dle-ah-dle-ah-dle, hep, hep, hep

The Kind Of Girl I Could Love
Composer(s): Roger Atkins - Michael Nesmith
Performer(s): The Monkees



Girl, you look mighty good to me
And I know that you've got to be
The kind of girl I could love

You've got the sweetest pair of eyes
And your kiss would be paradise
You're the kind of girl I could love

You do something to my soul
That no one's ever done
If you're looking for true love
Then let me be the one

Girl, deep in my soul I'm sure
And my heart has no doubt that you're
The kind of girl I could love
The kind of girl I could love

Chances Are
Composer(s): Al Stillman - Robert Allen
First release by: Johnny Mathis - 1957
Covered by multiple other artists



Chances are 'cause I wear a silly grin
The moment you come into view
Chances are you think that I'm in love with you

Just because my composure sort of slips
The moment that your lips meet mine
Chances are you think my heart's your Valentine

In the magic of moonlight when I sigh, "Hold me close, dear"
Chances are you believe the stars that fill the skies are in my eyes

Guess you feel you'll always be the one and only one for me
And if you think you could
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good

In the magic of moonlight when I sigh, "Hold me close, dear"

Chances are you believe the stars that fill the skies are in my eyes

Guess you feel you'll always be the one and only one for me
And if you think you could
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good

The chances are your chances are awfully good

Friends With You
Composer(s): Bill Danoff; Taffy Nivert
Performer(s): John Denver; Bill & Taffy; 
Jackie Lee; Starland Vocal Band



What a friend we have in time
Gives us children, makes us wine
Tells us what to take or leave behind

And the gifts of growing old
Are the stories to be told
Of the feelings more precious than gold

Friends I will remember you

Think of you, pray for you
And when another day is through
I'll still be friends with you

Babies' days are never long
Mother's laugh is baby's song
Gives us all the hope to carry on

Friends I will remember you

Think of you, pray for you
And when another day is through
I'll still be friends with you

Friends I will remember you
Think of you, pray for you
And when another day is through
I'll still be friends with you

Friends I will remember you
Think of you, pray for you
And when another day is through
I'll still be friends with you

The Kind Of Boy You Can't Forget
Composer(s): Jeff Barry
Performer(s): The Jelly Beans



(Male singing "Diddle-diddle-diddle-it" followed by female singing of the same 
this occurs frequently throughout the song)

I remember when I first saw him
Something told me that I couldn't ignore him
& I've been dreamin' of him every night ever since we met
'Cause he's the kind of boy you can't forget
(He's the kind of boy you can't forget)

I remember when I first kissed him
He touched my hand & then I couldn't resist him
& though he kissed me 'bout a week ago, I ain't got over it yet
'Cause he's the kind of boy you can't forget
(He's the kind of boy you can't forget)

Wo wo wo wo wo, wo wo wo wo wo
I could be so happy knowing he was mine (yeah yeah yeah) all the time
& I could make him happy, I would treat him good, yes I would, wo wo
Wo wo wo wo wo, wo wo wo wo wo

Gotta tell him that I adore him
There is nothin' that I wouldn't do for him
I won't be happy till I make him mine & a wedding day is set
'Cause he's the kind of boy you can't forget
(He's the kind of boy you can't forget)

(repeat scat singing)...

Chances Are
Composer(s): Bob Seger
First release by: Bob Seger & Martina McBride - 1998



Chances are you'll find me
Somewhere on your road tonight
Seems I always end up driving by
Ever since I've known you
It seems you're on my way

All the rules of logic don't apply
I long to see you in the night
Be with you 'til morning light

I remember clearly how you looked
The night we met
I recall your laughter and your smile
I remember how you made me
Feel so at ease
I remember all your grace and your style

And now you're all I long to see
You've come to mean so much to me

Chances are I'll see you
In my dreams tonight
You'll be smiling like the night we met
Chances are I'll hold you and I'll offer
All I have

You're the only one I can't forget
Baby you're the best I've evermet

And I'll be dreaming of the future
And hoping you'll be by my side
And in the morning I'll be longing for the night
For the night

Chances are I'll see you
Somewhere in my dreams tonight
You'll be smiling like the night we met
Chances are I'll hold you and I'll offer
All I have

You're the only one I can't forget
Baby you're the best I've ever met

Another red letter day
So the pound has dropped and the children are creating
The other half ran away
Taking all the cash and leaving you with the lumber
Got a pain in the chest
Doctor's on strike what you need is a rest

It's not easy love but you've got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hands 'cos friends will be friends right till the end

Now it's a beautiful day
The postman delivered a letter from your lover
Only a phone call away
You tried to track him down but somebody stole his number
As a matter of fact
You're getting used to life without him in your way

It's so easy love 'cos you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hands 'cos friends will be friends right till the end

It's so easy love 'cos you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hands 'cos friends will be friends right till the end

Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hands 'cos right till the end
Friends will be friends

Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you 
Or cancel it, though I know it must be 
The killing time
Unwillingly mine

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you 
or cancel it though I know it must be

He will wait until
You give yourself to him

When all have lost faith in you
'cos the dice you threw didn't show your number
And they all think your winning days are through
I'll be there to pick you up
Your confidence mustn't start to drop

I'll take my chance 'cos I have faith in you
So spin the wheel
call your number - lucky my stakes on you
We may lose but the game we must play and it's true
Life's the dealer and your cards I cannot see

Out all on earth I'll take my chances on you

Take my chances on you - take my chances on you
Take my chances on you - take my chances on you
When all your so called friends used to call

Forget your number 'cos they all think 
You're a star fallen from the sky
I'll be there right by your side my love
For you cannot be denied I'll see it through
'cos I believe in you
So roll the dice
call your number
lucky I'm there with you
We may lose but the game we must play
And it's true lifes kicked you down
And your heart is filled with pain
But of all on earth Ill take my chances on you
Take my chances on you - take my chances on you . . .
So roll the dice call your number

Take my chances on you - take my chances on you . . .
'cos I believe in you
yeah
Take my chances on you - take my chances on you . . .

Friends Of Mine
Composer(s): Chris White
Performer(s): The Zombies; Chrysanthemums



When we're all in a crowd
And you catch her eye
And then you both smile
I feel so good inside
And when I'm with her
She talks about you
The things that you say
The things that you do

It feels so good to know two people
So in love...
So in love...

They are friends of mine
(Joyce and Terry)
They are friends of mine
(Paul and Molly)
And they've got something
(Liz and Brian)
It's so hard to find
(Joy and David)
They are friends of mine
(Kim and Maggie)
They are friends of mine
(June and Daffy)
And they've got something
(Jean and Jim)
You don't often find
(And Jim and Christine)

She takes your hand
When the world stays outside
That's something to see
That's nothing to hide

And when I feel bad
When people disappoint me
That's when I need you two
To help me believe

It feels so good to know two people
So in love...
So in love...

They are friends of mine
(Joyce and Terry)
They are friends of mine
(Paul and Molly)
And they've got something
(Liz and Brian)
It's so hard to find

The Kid's Last Fight
Composer(s): Bob Merrill
Performer(s): Frankie Laine; The Statler Brothers



It was Tiger Wilson versus Kid McCoy
In the summer of `ninety-three
Now the Kid was everybody's pride and joy
Just as game as a kid could be

And his darlin' Bess was in the second row 
She was prayin' with all her might
Sayin, "Kid, we need that little bungalow
Oh, you've just gotta win tonight"

Come on, Kid, come on, Kid
Let's hit him with a left and a right
Go on, Kid, go on, Kid
But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight
(But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight)

Now the Kid had fever to the very bone 
But nobody would ever guess
He was in there fightin' on his heart alone 
'Cause he just had to win for Bess

Oh, the Kid was battered, the Kid was floored
But the count never got to ten
Though his brain was reelin' when the people roared
He was up on his feet again

Come on, Kid, come on, Kid
Let's hit him with a left and a right
Go on, Kid, go on, Kid
But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight
(But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight)

Said the Tiger, scowlin', don't you know you're through
I can whip you just like a child
I'm gonna take the fight and take your woman too
When he heard that the Kid went wild

Said the Kid, "For that I'll tear you limb from limb"
And he sprang like an angry colt
He said a punch a-flyin at the Tiger's chin
Knocked him out like a thunderbolt

Come on, Kid, come on, Kid
Let's hit him with a left and a right
Go on, Kid, go on, Kid
But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight
(But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight)

To the crowd that saw it there was little doubt
That the Kid was a champ that night
But the champ would never have another bout
`Twas the fever that won the fight

Gather round, I'm bettin' even money folks
There's a bell soundin' way up high
And the champ is climbin' through the golden ropes
Of the Big Ring up in the sky

Come on, Kid, come on, Kid
Let's hit him with a left and a right
Go on, Kid, go on, Kid
But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight

Sometimes, lonely nights turn into sunny days
I never thought I'd feel this way
I never knew that you and I
were meant to be in love
Oh, darling, you've always been around
to see me through
How was I to know
you'd make my dreams come true?
Time and time again before, always on our own
but now we're friends in love

Hoping that we'll always
still be friends in love
It's dawn and we're together
Darling, now we got forever and a day
Don't you go away

Remember everytime you cried
you came to me
Much to my surprise, I found someone to see
Even nights of loneliness
you were always there for me
We're friends in love

repeat chorus

You turned around, looked my way
I can't say that it hasn't crossed my mind
I've loved you all along
Ah now we're leavin' yesterday behind
we'll never be alone
We're friends in love

repeat chorus

I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright

Sometimes, I feel I got to get away
Bells chime, I know I got to get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright

I know if I go things would be a lot better for her
I had things planned, but her folks wouldn't let her

I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright

Sometimes, I feel I got to get away
Bells chime, I know I got to get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright

Champs Du Possible
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers



Devant nous l'an 2000, quelques heures nous séparent
Quel ordre se profile, quel rapport de pouvoir?
Devant nous l'an 2000 
Qui aurait pu prévoir
Qu'il ne restait qu'un fil accroché à l'histoire?

Les champs magnétiques de ma déraison
Les voix qui me dictent les cris d'alarme
Les mots d'amour
Qui me hantent, qui m'entourent, qui me hantent
Qui m'entourent

Devant nous l'an 2000 et le monde en furie
Le grand ordre mondial et les nations unies
Pas de contre-pouvoir aux dollars qui défilent
Et puis dans les couloirs les banquiers qui se faufilent
Derrière nous 2000 ans et des années lumières
Quelques tyrans sanglants, quelque beaux militaires

Les champs magnétiques de ma déraison
Les voix qui me dictent les cris d'alarme
Les mots d'amour
Qui me hantent, qui m'entourent, qui me hantent
Qui m'entourent

Devant nous l'an 2000 et le champ du possible
Il faut revisiter en partant du sensible
Aux artistes il échoit des choses à inventer
Et prendre quelques rêves pour la réalité

Les champs magnétiques de ma déraison
Les voix qui me dictent les cris d'alarme
Les mots d'amour
Qui me hantent, qui m'entourent, qui me hantent
Qui m'entourent
