Rap Tap On Wood Composer(s): Cole Porter Performer(s): Eleanor Powell; and various other artists
If you want to ring the bell not once, but twice If you want to roll and roll those lucky dice If you want to spend your journey's end with sweet music and love If you want to lick this world of men and Mickey Mice Take my advice...
When you sit down, one day Look over yourself and say "You're very good" Ra-ap tap on wood
When you have such success You're concious that you impress The neighbourhood Ra-ap tap on wood
When ev'ry meal you take Is made of milk and honey When ev'ry stock you take Is making mints of money When ev'ry heart you break Is such a cinch, it's funny Careful, Sonny Rap-tap, rap-tap, rap-tap-tap, rap-a-tap-tap
You're knockout, you're good news And you'll never, never lose If you just put on your dancing shoes And rap-tap on wood

Chest Fever
Composer(s): Robbie Robertson
First release by: The Band - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
I know she's a tracker, any scarlet would back her They say she's a chooser, but I just can't refuse her She was just there, but then she can't be here no more And as my mind unweaves, I feel the freeze down in my knees But just before she leaves, she receives
She's been down in the dunes and she's dealt with the goons Now she drinks from the bitter cup, I'm trying to get her to give it up She was just here, I fear she can't be here no more And as my mind unweaves, I feel the freeze down in my knees But just before she leaves, she receives
It's long, long when she's gone, I get weary holding on Now I'm coldly fading fast, I don't think I'm gonna last Very much longer
"She's stoned" said the Swede, and the moon calf agreed I'm like a viper in shock with my eyes in the clock She was just there somewhere and here I am again And as my mind unweaves, I feel the freeze down in my knees But just before she leaves, she receives
Ramos De Manzanillas Composer(s): León Gieco Performer(s): León Gieco
Ramos de manzanillas llevan tus manos debes cruzar el campo con tu vestido blanco que dice tu corazon a las nubes pasajeras que dice tu corazon al gorrion sobre la leña Oh mujer de tierras mansas dame tu verde en la cabeza ah ah ah ah ah
Que cancion hay en tu vientre que Noviembre se la lleva que cancion dejastes antes que el viento te la devuelve que silbido hay en tu pelo que no estoy yo respirando que me dice el tordo negro que vuela despacio y bajo
Que color hay en tu mente que se mezcla con la hierba hacia donde van tus pasos si el viento viene contrario que cosas vengo arrastrando que es pesado mi camino por llevar cargado el tiempo yo no encuentro mi destino
New Tomorrow Composer(s): Lise Cabble - Jakob Glæsner First performance: A Friend In London - 2011
Come on boys, come on girls In this crazy, crazy world You're the diamonds, you're the pearls Let's make a new tomorrow, today
Wake up, slow down Do nothing right now Breathe in, breathe out Did we forget how to live, to dream And what it all means? It's like we don't care
Who's hot, who's not? Who's got the right upside down? Tonight, tomorrow You're out of time Upstyle, you are back in the line A race to nowhere
Come on boys, come on girls In this crazy, crazy world You're the diamonds, you're the pearls Let's make a new tomorrow
Come on girls, come on boys It's your future, it's your choice And your weapon is your voice Let's make a new tomorrow, today
Turn left, turn right Don't make up your mind Your way to fame is all in vain You get in the spot Then you run out of luck You're going nowhere We can change it all today
Come on boys, come on girls In this crazy, crazy world You're the diamonds, you're the pearls Let's make a new tomorrow
Come on girls, come on boys It's your future, it's your choice And your weapon is your voice Let's make a new tomorrow, today
Come on boys Let's make a new tomorrow
Come on boys, come on girls In this crazy, crazy world You're the diamonds, you're the pearls Let's make a new tomorrow
Come on girls, come on boys It's your future, it's your choice And your weapon is your voice Let's make a new tomorrow, today
Texas (When I Die) Composer(s): Bobby Borchers - Ed Bruce - Patsy Bruce Performer(s): Tanya Tucker
When I die I may not go to heaven I don't know if they let cowboys in If they don't just let me go to Texas, Boy! Texas is as close as I've been
New York couldn't hold my attention Detroit City couldn't sing my song If tomorrow finds me busted flat in Dallas I won't care, 'cause at least I'll know I'm home
When I die I may not go to heaven I don't know if they let cowboys in If they don't just let me go to Texas, Boy! Texas is as close as I've been
I'd ride through all of Hell and half of Texas Just to hear Willie Nelson sing a country song Beer just ain't as cold in old Milwaukee My body's here, but my soul's in San Antone
When I die I may not go to heaven I don't know if they let cowboys in If they don't just let me go to Texas, Boy! Texas is as close as I've been
When I die I may not go to heaven I don't know if they let cowboys in If they don't just let me go to Texas, Boy! Texas is as close as I've been
Ramona, te cantan todos al mirar Ramona, tus lindos ojos verde mar Tus labios tan rojos Prometen besos, fuego y pasion Tu trenza tan negra Encadeno por siempre mi amor Ramona, con el romance de un cantar Ramona, mis ansias tu comprenderas Jamas podre calmar mi ardiente frenesi Ramona, sin besos, sin ti
Mientras la luna sonrie al mar Se oye una cancion Que te nombra a ti Juega la brisa con el palmar Cuando un corazon te repite asi
Ramona, te cantan todos al mirar Ramona, tus lindos ojos verde mar Tus labios tan rojos Prometen besos, fuego y pasion Tu trenza tan negra Encadeno por siempre mi amor Ramona, con el romance de un cantar Ramona, mis ansias tu comprenderas Jamas podre calmar mi ardiente frenesi Ramona, sin besos, sin ti

The thunder cracks against the night The dark explodes with a yellow light The railway sign is flashing bright The people stare but I dont care My flesh is cold against my bones And Cheryls going home
Come hear me shouting through the rain Is there a way to stop the train? Ive got some reasons to explain about the way I was today The whistle moans and Im alone And Cheryls going home
Santa Rose Specials down the line Im running desperately behind Theres only one thing on my mind The rain and tears are in my eyes The things I say will not be known And Cheryls going home

I wander out yonder o'er the hills Where the mountains high, seem to kiss the sky Someone's up yonder o'er the hills Waiting patiently, waiting just for me
Ramona, I hear the mission bells above Ramona , they're ringing out our song of love I press you, caress you And bless the day you taught me to care I'll always remember The rambling rose you wore in your hair
Ramona, when the day is done you'll hear my call Ramona, we'll meet beside the waterfall I dread the dawn When I awake to find you gone Ramona, I need you, my own

Rockefeller Street Composer(s): Sven Lõhmus First performance by: Getter Jaani - 2011
Daylight is fading away Night silhouettes in the sky LED lights are flashing on towers It`s Manhattans magical time
Ballerinas dancing the "Swan Lake" On a river made of diamonds and pearls Everything is a little bit weird now
Because tonight It is show time In the middle of the street life All we celebrate a good times Because tonight it is show time
Come and walk with me
1-2-7-3 down the Rockefeller street Life is marchin on do you feel that 1-2-7-3 down the Rockefeller street Everything is more than surreal
Oldschool Hollywood stars Party Cinderellas are here They move like computer game heroes
Because they know It is show time In the middle of the street life All they celebrate a good times Because tonight it is show time
So let`s keep movin' on
Ref.
So let`s keep movin' on
2x Keep movin', keep movin', keep movin', keep movin' If you want to know what Rockefeller groove is Keep movin', keep movin', keep movin', keep movin' Time is right to celebrate a good times

Rambling Rose Composer(s): Joseph Burke; Joseph Allan McCarthy Jr. Performer(s): Perry Como
Everyone knows she's a ramblin' rose she's a beauty growin' wild! Birds in their nest seem to whistle their best for mother nature's favourite child!
She's got the kind of affection that just winds around your heart! You better run for protection or she might upset your flower cart!
I hate to disclose that ma ramblin' rose is gonna meet her Waterloo! I let her play but she can't get away 'cause I know just what to do!
Anyone knows you can train a rose to be a clingin' vine! So, from this day hence, there'll be a picket fence 'round that ramblin' rose of mine!
