    The Man Who Sold The World
    Composer(s): David Bowie
    First release by: David Bowie - 1971
    Covered by multiple other artists



    We passed upon the stairs, we spoke in walls and web
    Although I wasn`t there, he said I was his friend, which came as a surprise
    I spoke into his eyes
    I thought you died --- a long a long, long time ago
    Oh no, not me, we never lost control
    The face to face of a man who sold the world

    I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
    I searched a far the land, for years and years I roamed
    I gazed a gazy stare
    We walked a million hills
    I must have died --- a long a long, long time ago
    Who knows not me
    I never lost control
    You`re face to face with the man who sold the world

    Chickery Chick Composer(s): Sidney Lippman - Sylvia Dee Performer(s): Sammy Kaye and multiple other artists



    Once there lived a chicken who would say
    "Chick-chick, chick-chick" all day
    Soon that chick got sick and tired of just "chick-chick"
    So one morning he started to say

    Chickery chick, cha-la, cha-la
    Check-a-la romey in a bananika
    Bollika, wollika, can't you see
    Chickery chick is me

    Every time you're sick and tired of just the same old thing
    Sayin' just the same old words all day
    Be just like the chicken who found something new to sing
    Open up your mouth and start to say

    Oh! Chickery chick, cha-la, cha-la
    Check-a-la romey in a bananika
    Bollika, wollika, can't you see
    Chickery chick is me

    Real American
    Composer(s): Rick Derringer; Bernard Kenny
    Performer(s): Rick Derringer



    When it comes crashing down and it hurts inside
    you gotta take a stand
    it don't hurt to hide
    if you hurt my friends then you hurt my pride
    I gotta be a man
    I cant let it slide

    Chorus
    I am a real American
    fight for the rights of every man
    I'm a real American
    fight for what's right
    fight for your life

    I feel strong for very long
    I don't take trouble for very long
    I've got something deep inside of me
    courage is the thing that sets us free

    Repeat chorus x2

    If you hurt my friends then you hurt my pride
    I gotta be a man
    I can't let them slide

    Repeat chorus x4

    The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
    Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David
    First release by: The Fairmount Singers - 1962
    Covered by multiple other artists



    When Liberty Valance rode to town
    The women folk would hide, they'd hide
    When Liberty Valance walked around
    The men would step aside
    'Cause the point of a gun was the only law
    That Liberty understood
    When it came to shootin' straight and fast
    He was mighty good

    From out of the East a stranger came
    A law book in his hand, a man
    The kind of a man the west would need
    To tame a troubled land
    'Cause the point of a gun was the only law
    That Liberty understood
    When it came to shootin' straight and fast
    He was mighty good
    When it came to shootin' straight and fast
    He was mighty good

    Many a man would face his gun
    And many a man would fall
    The man who shot Liberty Valance
    He shot Liberty Valance
    He was the bravest of them all

    The love of a girl can make a man
    Stay on when he should go, stay on
    Just tryin' to build a peaceful live
    Where love is free to grow
    But the point of a fun was the only law
    That Liberty understood
    When the final showdown came at last
    A law book was no good

    Alone and afraid she prayed that he'd
    Return that fateful night, that night
    When nothing she said could keep her man
    From going out to fight
    From the moment a girl gets to be full grown
    The very first thing she learns
    When two men go out to face each other, only one returns

    Everyone heard two shots ring out
    One shot made Liberty fall
    The man who shot Liberty Valance
    He shot Liberty Valance
    He was the bravest of them all

    When we were young, Bernie's Deli was down the block
    (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
    He made a great liver pate
    (You know he did, you know he did, you know he did)
    But if there's one thing in this world that I like better
    Than a corned beef on rye

    It's Chicken Pot Pie

    I'm ready, willing and able
    And honey, now it's up to you
    So lay your cards on the table
    And tell me what you plan to do

    I'm ready, able and willing
    To join you in a little fun
    But I won't take second billing
    I've got to be your number one

    I'm ready to give you my heart, dear
    I'm willing to hand you the key
    And I'm able to say from the start, dear
    It's never belonged to anyone else but me

    Oh, I'm ready, I'm willing and able
    So if you want a love that's true
    Just lay your cards on the table
    'Cause honey, now it's up to you

    I'm ready
    Oh yes, you know I'm ready, baby
    I'm able
    Oh yes, you know I'm able, baby
    I'm willing
    Oh yes, you know I'm willing, baby
    Now I've stated my condition
    I've got lots of ammunition

    Ready, willing and I'm able
    So if you want a love that's true
    Just lay your cards on the table
    'Cause honey
    Honey, now it's up to you

    The Man Who Broke The Bank At Monte Carlo
    Performer(s): Charles Coburn



    I've just got here, thro' Paris, from the sunny southern shore
    I to Monte Carlo went, just to raise my winter's rent
    Dame Fortune smil'd upon me as she'd never done before
    And I've now such lots of money, I'm a gent
    Yes, I've now such lots of money, I'm a gent

    I stay indoors till after lunch, and then my daily walk
    To the great Triumphal Arch is one grand Triumphal march
    Observ'd by each observer with the keenness of a hawk
    I'm mass of money, linen, silk and starch
    I'm mass of money, linen, silk and starch

    I patronized the tables at the Monte Carlo hell
    Till they hadn't got a sou for a Christian or a Jew
    So I quickly went to Parie for the charms of mad'moiselle
    Who's the load-stone of my heart
    What can I do?
    When with twenty tongues she swears that she'll be true?

    As I walk along the Bois Boolong, with an independent air
    You can hear them sigh and wish to die
    You can see them wink the other eye
    At the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo

    The Man That Is Me
    Composer(s): Jim Croce - Ingrid Croce
    Performer(s): Jim & Ingrid Croce



    I'm a dreamer by nature
    And I've always been tryin'
    To dream myself out of this world that I'm in
    In my dreams I escape all the troubles around
    And it hasn't cost a penny
    For the pleasures I've found

    What is the part
    That I'll play today
    Beggar, a bus'ness man, king for a day?
    I've played many parts
    And I'm the first to agree
    That I'm still lookin' round for the man that is me

    I'm a dreamer by nature
    And I've always been
    Looking for something not there
    My financial position
    Don't bother my dreams
    'Cause in fairy tale money
    I'm my own millionaire

    What is the part
    That I'll play today
    Beggar, a bus'ness man, king for a day?
    I've played many parts
    And I'm the first to agree
    That I'm still lookin' round for the man that is me

    I'm a rich man in dreams
    But in real life I've hid
    From the fact that I've got me a wife and a kid
    If I lose what I've got
    Then they lose it too
    Tell me what in this world's a poor dreamer to do

    What is the part
    That I'll play today
    Beggar, a bus'ness man, king for a day?
    I've played many parts
    And I'm the first to agree
    That I'm still lookin' round for the man that is me

    Chicken Composer(s): Jerry Leiber - Walter Rollins - Mike Stoller Performer(s): The Cheers



    They drove the hottest hot rods
    That were ever raced in years
    You could hear `em burnin' rubber
    As they shifted through the gears
    They must have lost their senses
    In their trail of smoke and flame
    `Cos you had to be a maniac
    To play that crazy game

    "Chicken", "Chicken"
    The winner of the game would holler "chicken"

    The laughter of the couples
    Could be heard above the roar
    As they headed t'ward each other
    With their pedals to the floor
    The one that held it showed
    That he was not afraid to die
    And the one that turned aside
    Would hear the winning couple cry

    "Chicken", "Chicken"
    The winner of the game would holler "chicken"

    (Chicken)

    They knew they'd all be losers
    If they ever had a tie
    But the closer they could make a scene
    The louder they would cry
    The kicks were always greatest
    When they had the closest shaves
    And the voices coming back
    Were like an echo from the grave

    "Chicken", "Chicken"
    The winner of the game would holler "chicken"

    And then one night it happened
    `Cos the devil had his way
    He was clickin' off the seconds
    That were left for them to play
    There might have been a winner
    But they had no way to tell
    For the couples all were dead
    And there was no one left to yell

    "Chicken", "Chicken"
    The winner of the game would holler "chicken"

    Ready For You
    Performer(s): Air Supply



    Painted sands and makeshift hands
    Take us round and round
    Horizon clear, you'll soon be near
    And walking on the ground
    I've been round the corner
    Sinking all the doubts in sight
    If you sail across the border
    We can float into the night

    Oh, I'm ready for you
    I'm ready for you
    I'm ready for you
    I'm ready for you

    Cloudy Sky, the wind is high
    And trying to break the spell
    But I'll be here when you appear
    I'll see the night as well
    A feeling's not a feeling
    If you can't believe it's true
    I'd sooner be believing
    'Til the ship comes sailing through

    Oh, I'm ready for you
    I'm ready for you
    I'm ready for you
    I'm ready for you

    I've been round the corner
    Sinking all the doubts in sight
    If you sail across the border
    We can float into the night

    Oh, I'm ready for you
    Oh, I'm ready for you
    Oh, I'm ready for you
    Oh, I'm ready for you

    And suddenly you're older
    And all because of
    The man that got away

    No more his eager call
    The writing's on the wall
    The dreams you dreamed have all
    Gone astray
    The man that won you
    Has run off and undone you
    That great beginning
    Has seen it's final inning
    Don't know what happened
    It's all a crazy game

    No more that all-time thrill
    For you've been through the mill
    And never a new love will
    Be the same

    Good riddance, good-bye
    Every trick of his you're on to
    But fools will be fools and where's he gone to?

    The road gets rougher
    It's lonelier and tougher
    With hope you burn up
    Tomorrow he may turn up
    There's just no letup
    The livelong night and day

    Ever since this world began
    There is nothing sadder than
    A one-man woman
    Looking for the man that got away...

    The road gets rougher
    It's lonelier and tougher
    With hope you burn up
    Tomorrow he may turn up
    There's just no letup
    The livelong night and day

    Ever since this world began
    There is nothing sadder than
    A one-man woman
    Looking for the man
    The man that got away...

    The man that got away...

    Chickasaw Train Blues (Low Down Dirty Thing) Composer(s): Minnie McCoy Performer(s): Memphis Minnie; Kansas Joe McCoy



    I'm gon' tell everybody, what that Chickasaw has done done for me
    I'm gon' tell everybody, what that Chickasaw has done done for me
    She done stole my man away, and blow that doggone smoke on me
    She's a low down dirty dog

    I ain't no woman, like to ride that Chickasaw
    Ain't no woman, like to ride that Chickasaw
    Because everywhere she stop, she's stealing some woman's good man, oh
    She's a low down dirty dog

    I told the depot this mornin', I don't think he treats me right
    Told the depot this mornin', I don't think he treats me right
    He done sold my man a ticket, and I know that Chickasaw leavin' town tonight
    He's a low down dirty dog

    I walk down a railroad track, that Chickasaw even wouldn't let me ride the blind
    I walk down a railroad track, that Chickasaw wouldn't even let me ride the blind
    And she stop picking up men, all up and down the line
    She's a low down dirty dog

    Mmm-mmm, Chickasaw don't pay no woman no mind
    Mmm-mmm, that Chickasaw don't pay no woman no mind
    And she stop pickin' up men, all up and down the line

    Ready For The Times To Get Better
    Composer(s): Allen Reynolds
    Performer(s): Crystal Gayle; Chet Atkins;
    Lauren Kilgore; Jim Rooney; Doc Watson



    I've got to tell you I've been rackin' my brain
    Hopin' to find a way out
    I've had enough of this continual rain
    Changes are comin', no doubt

    (Chorus:)
    It's been a too long time
    With no peace of mind
    And I'm ready for the times
    To get better

    You seem to want from me what I cannot give
    I feel so lonesome at times
    I have a dream that I wish I could live
    It's burnin' holes in my mind

    (Repeat chorus)

    Na, na, na...

    (Repeat chorus)

    The Man On The Flying Trapeze
    Composer(s): George Leybourne
    Performer(s): Walter O'Keefe
    and multiple other artists



    Once I was happy, but now I'm forlorn
    Like an old coat that is tattered and torn
    Left on this world to fret and to mourn
    Betrayed by a maid in her teens

    The girl that I loved she was handsome
    I tried all I knew her to please
    But I could not please her one quarter so well
    As the man upon the trapeze

    He'd fly through the air with the greatest of ease
    That daring young man on the flying trapeze
    His movements were graceful, all girls he could please
    And my love he purloined away

    This young man by name was Signor Bona Slang
    Tall, big and handsome, as well made as Chang
    Where'er he appeared the hall loudly rang
    With ovation from all people there

    He'd smile from the bar on the people below
    And one night he smiled on my love
    She wink'd back at him and she shouted "Bravo"
    As he hung by his nose up above

    Her father and mother were both on my side
    And very hard tried to make her my bride
    Her father he sighed, and her mother she cried
    To see her throw herself away

    'Twas all no avail, she went there every night
    And would throw him bouquets on the stage
    Which caused him to meet her; how he ran me down
    To tell you would take a whole page

    One night I as usual went to her dear home
    Found there her father and mother alone
    I asked for my love, and soon they made known
    To my horror that she'd run away

    She'd packed up her box and eloped in the night
    With him, with the greatest of ease
    From two stories high he had lowered her down
    To the ground on his flying trapeze

    Some months after this I went to the Hall
    Was greatly surprised to see on the wall
    A bill in red letters, which did my heart gall
    That she was appearing with him

    He'd taught her gymnastics and dressed her in tights
    To help him live at his ease
    And made her assume a masculine name
    And now she goes on the trapeze

    She'd fly through the air with the greatest of ease
    You'd think her the man young man on the flying trapeze
    Her movements were graceful, all girls she could please
    And that was the end of my love

    Chick-A-Boom (Don't Ya Jes' Love It) Composer(s): Richard Delvy - Janis Gwin Performer(s): Daddy Dewdrop



    Last night I had a crazy dream
    About a chick in a black bikini
    Oh she looked so good she couldn't be real
    So she must be a magic genie
    But then she disappeared around a corner
    All I saw were three doors and the top of her bikini
    I made it through the first door there was a party going on
    I asked about the chick but what they said was this

    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom-boom-boom

    I found the bottom half
    Behind the second door
    Which took me to Africa I presume
    This really far out cat was screaming half crazy
    "Bomp boom a loo bom a long bam boo"
    I said hey man cut that jive
    And tell me where the chick went
    But he looked at me as pleased as could be
    And said a lotta words but I wonder what he meant

    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom-boom-boom

    Ah don't ya jes' love it
    Ooh don't ya jes' love it
    Don't ya love it don't ya love it
    Oh yeah don't ya love jes' it
    Don't ya jes' love it now

    I opened the third door and there she was
    And She whispered so sexy oh ooh
    I tried to do the same and impress her with my style
    But why this chick would never know

    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom-boom-boom

    Don't ya know it

    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
    Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom-boom-boom
