Old Age Pension Check Composer(s): Roy Acuff Performer(s): Roy Acuff; The New Lost City Ramblers
When our old age pension check comes to our door We won't have to dread the poor house anymore Though we're old and thin and gray Good times will be back to stay When our old age pension check comes to our door When her old age pension check comes to her door Dear old grandma won't be lonesome any more She'll be waiting at the gate Every night she'll have a date When her old age pension check comes to her door
Grow a flowing long white beard and use a cane 'Cause you're in your second childhood, don't complain Life will just begin at sixty We'll all feel very frisky When our old age pension check comes to our door
Powder and paint will be abolished on that day And hoop skirts will then be brought back into play Painted cheeks will be the rage And old maids will tell their age When their old age pension check comes to their door
All the drug stores will go bankrupt on that day For cosmetics, they will all be put away I'll put a flapper on the shelf Get a grandma for myself When her old age pension check comes to her door
There's a man that turned this country upside-down With his old age pension rumor going 'round If you want in on the fun Send your dime to Washington And that old age pension man will be around
La Casa Degli Angeli ((Adapted from: I Am... I Said (Neil Diamond) - 1971)) ((German Version: Die Welt Von Heut' (Pascal Legrand) - 1971)) Composer(s): Neil Diamond - Daniele Pace Performer(s): Caterina Caselli - 1971
Il sole aveva paura di morire e non moriva mai nella casa degli angeli noi vivevamo come due rondini nascoste tra i rami della vita nella casa degli angeli
Qualche volta ci ricordavamo di dormire ma era più il tempo che ci amavamo ricordo le mie parole quando un mattino d'inverno io ti lasciai
Amore mio ti dico addio ti lascio solo, solo il nome mio Il treno va il cielo va la vita, il tempo, tutto restano là là, nella casa degli angeli
La mattina, quando ci svegliavamo venivano i bambini a portarci dei fiori nella casa degli angeli Nei loro occhi noi vedevamo quelli che un giorno avremmo fatto noi col nostro amore nella casa degli angeli Poi d'un tratto il cielo si è fatto triste non ricordo bene perché quello che io ricordo son gli anni d'amore vissuti con te
Amore mio ti dico addio ti lascio solo, solo il nome mio Il treno va il cielo va la vita, il tempo, tutto restano là
Amore mio ricorda sempre ricorda sempre, sempre il nome mio
Amore mio ricorda sempre ricorda sempre, sempre il nome mio
The Odd Couple Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Neal Hefti First release by: Larry Carlton - 1968 Covered by multiple other artists
No matter where they go, they are known as The Couple They're never seen alone, so they're known as The Couple As I've indicated, they are never quite separated They are peas in a pod! Don't you think that it's Odd?
Their habits, I confess, non can guess with The Couple If one says no, it's yes, more or less with The Couple
But they're laugh-provoking Yet they really don't know they're joking Don't you find, when love is blind It's kind of Odd?
Don't you think it's Odd? Don't you think it's Odd? Don't you think it's Odd?
Ocean Composer(s): Lou Reed First release by: The Velvet Underground - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists
Here comes the ocean and the waves down by the sea Here comes the ocean and the waves where have they been
Silver and black lit night, here's to a stealer's night an empty splendid castle Glowering alone at night, the princess has had a fight madness seeks out a lover
And here come the waves down by the shore Washing the soul of the body that comes from the depth of the sea
Here comes the ocean and the waves down by the sea Here comes the ocean and the waves where have they been
Don't swim tonight my love, the tide is out my love Malcolm's curse haunts our family Odious loud and rich, ruler of filthy seas revel in heaven's justice
And here come the waves and save for a scream There's much like a song to be heard in the wind that blows by the sea Like the wind
Here come the waves Here come the waves Here come the waves Here come the waves
Je Suis Heureuse ((Adapted from: With You I'm Born Again (Billy Preston & Syreeta Wright) - 1979)) ((German Version: Die Welt Ist Neu (Mireille Mathieu) - 1981)) Composer(s): David Shire - Carol Conners Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu - 1982
Avec lui commence une nouvelle naissance et pour la première fois je suis heureuse On peut vivre ensemble de janvier jusqu'à décembre le temps ne nous change pas je suis heureuse C'est comme un enfant un peu trop beau ça ne se dit pas avec des mots
Avec lui j'existe il m'empêche d'être triste une ligne dans ma main déjà se creuse Et tout simplement je suis heureuse
Quand l'espoir me quitte quand j'ai peur ou quand j'hésite il me montre le chemin je suis heureuse Nous pourrons construire des montagnes et des empires le long de nos lendemains je suis heureuse C'est comme un enfant un peu trop beau ça ne se dit pas avec des mots
Les amis que j'aime comprenez-vous pourquoi je l'aime c'est grâce à lui que je dis je suis heureuse C'est avec lui que je suis heureuse
The Obvious Child Composer(s): Paul Simon Performer(s): Paul Simon; PhillyBloco
Im accustomed to a smooth ride Or maybe Im a dog whos lost its bite I dont expect to be treated like a fool no more I dont expect to sleep through the night Some people say a lies a lies a lie But I say why Why deny the obvious child? Why deny the obvious child?
And in remembering a road sign I am remembering a girl when I was young And we said these songs are true These days are ours These tears are free And hey The cross is in the ballpark The cross is in the ballpark
We had a lot of fun We had a lot of money We had a little son and we thought wed call him sonny Sonny gets married and moves away Sonny has a baby and bills to pay Sonny gets sunnier Day by day by day by day
Ive been waking up at sunrise Ive been following the light across my room I watch the night receive the room of my day Some people say the sky is just the sky But I say Why deny the obvious child? Why deny the obvious child?
Sonny sits by his window and thinks to himself How its strange that some rooms are like cages Sonnys yearbook from high school Is down from the shelf And he idly thumbs through the pages Some have died Some have fled from themselves Or struggled from here to get there Sonny wanders beyond his interior walls Runs his hand through his thinning brown hair
Well Im accustomed to a smoother ride Maybe Im a dog thats lost his bite I dont expect to be treated like a fool no more I dont expect to sleep the night Some people say a lie is just a lie But I say the cross is in the ballpark Why deny the obvious child?
Object Of My Affection Composer(s): Jimmie Grier - Coy Poe - Pinky Tomlin Performer(s): Boswell Sisters and multiple other artists
The object of my affection Can change my complexion From white to a rosy read Anytime she holds my hand and tells me that she's mine
There are many girls who can thrill me And some who can chill me But I'll just hang around And keep acting like a clown Until she says she's mine
Now I'm not afraid that she'll leave me She's not the kind who takes a dare But instead I trust her implicitly She can go where she wants to go Do what she wants to do I don't care
The object of my affection Can change my complexion From white to a rosy read Anytime she holds my hand and tells me that she's mine
The Northern Lights Of Old Aberdeen Composer(s): Traditional - M. Webb Performer(s): Innes Tartan Band and multiple other artists
When I was a lad, a tiny wee lad My mother said to me Come see the Northern Lights my boy They' re bright as they can be She called them the heavenly dancers Merry dancers in the sky I'll never forget, that wonderful sight They made the heav ens bright
The Northern Lights of old Aberdeen Mean home sweet home to me The Northern Lights of old Aberdeen Are what I long to see Ive been a wanderer all of my life Any many a sight I've seen God speed the day when l' m on my way To my home in Aberdeen
I've wandered in many far-off lands And travelled many a mile I've missed the folk I cherished most The joy of a friendly smile It warms up the heart of a wand'rer The clasp of a welcoming hand To greet me when, I return Home to my native land
The Northern Lights of old Aberdeen Mean home sweet home to me The Northern Lights of old Aberdeen Are what I long to see Ive been a wanderer all of my life Any many a sight I've seen God speed the day when l' m on my way To my home in Aberdeen
The Night's Too Long Composer(s): Lucinda Williams Performer(s): Lucinda Williams
Sylvia was workin' as a waitress in Beaumont She said I'm movin' away, I'm gonna get what I want I'm tired of these small-town boys that don't move fast enough I'm gonna find me one who wears a leather jacket and likes his livin' rough
So she saved her tips and overtime and bought an old rusty car She sold most everything she had to make a brand new start She said I won't be needing these silly dresses and nylon hose 'Cause when I get to where I'm goin' I'm gonna buy me all new clothes
The night's too long; It just drags on and on And then there's never enough That's when the sun starts comin' up Don't let go of her hand You just might be the right man She loves the night She loves the night She doesn't want the night Don't want it to end Don't want it to end
She works in an office now and she guesses the pays all right She can buy a few new things to wear and still go out at night And as soon as she gets home from work she wants to be out with the crowd Where she can dance and toss her head back and laugh out loud
Well the music's playin' fast and they just met He presses up against her and his shirt's all soaked with sweat And with her back against the bar she can listen to the band And she's holdin' a Corona and it's cold against her hand
The night's too long; It just drags on and on And then there's never enough That's when the sun starts comin' up Don't let go of her hand You just might be the right man She loves the night She loves the night She doesn't want the night Don't want it to end Don't want it to end
The Nightfly Composer(s): Donald Fagen Performer(s): Donald Fagen
I'm Lester the Nightfly Hello Baton Rouge Won't you turn your radio down Respect the seven second delay we use So you say there's a race Of men in the trees You're for tough legislation Thanks for calling I wait all night for calls like these An independent station WJAZ With jazz and conversation
From the foot of Mt. Belzoni Sweet music Tonight the night is mine Late line till the sun comes through the skylight
I've got plenty of java And Chesterfield Kings But I feel like crying I wish I had a heart like ice Heart like ice If you want your honey To look super swell You must spring for that little blue jar Patton's Kiss And Tell Kiss And Tell An independent station WJAZ With jazz and conversation
From the foot of Mt. Belzoni Sweet music Tonight the night is mine Late line till the sun comes through the skylight
You'd never believe it But once there was a time When love was in my life I sometimes wonder What happened to that flame The answer's still the same It was you you it was you Tonight you're still on my mind An independent station WJAZ With jazz and conversation
From the foot of Mt. Belzoni Sweet music Tonight the night is mine Late line till the sun comes through the skylight
The Night We Called It A Day Composer(s): Tom Adair - Matt Dennis First release by: Jo Stafford - 1942 Covered by multiple other artists
There was a moon out in space But a cloud drifted over its face You kissed me and went on your way The night we called it a day
I heard the song of the spheres Like a minor lament in my ears I hadn't the heart left to pray The night we called it a day
Soft through the dark, the hoot of an owl in the sky Sad though his song, no bluer was he than I The moon went down, stars were gone But the sun didn't rise with the dawn
There wasn't a thing left to say The night we called it a day

Gigi: What time tomorrow will we get there? Can I watch you play roulette? May I stay up late for supper? Is it awfully awfully upper? Mamita: Gigi! You'll drive us wild! Stop! You silly child! Gigi: Is everybody celebrated full of sin and dissipated? Is it hot enough to blister? Will I be your little sister? Mamita: Gigi! You are absurd! Now not another word! Gigi! Gaston: Let her gush and jabber Let her be enthused I cannot remember when I have been more amused Mamita: Stop it! Gigi: The night they invented champagne It's plain as it can be They thought of you and me The night they invented champagne They absolutely knew that all we'd want to do Is fly to the sky on champagne And shout to everyone in sight That since the world began no woman or a man has ever been as happy as we are tonight! Gaston: The night they invented champagne (pop) G & G: It's plain as it can be They thought of you and me The night they invented champagne They absolutely knew that all we'd want to do Is fly to the sky on champagne And shout to everyone in sight (pop) That since the world began no woman or a man has ever been as happy as we are tonight!

Chicka Boom Composer(s): Bob Merrill Performer(s): Guy Mitchell; Mitch Miller, His Orch. & Chorus
Chicka-boom, chicka-rack Chicka-boom, chicka-rack Chicka-boom, chicka-rack, she's singin' Her shoes paddy-wack in front and the back And her yellow curls go swingin' Bells just rang, Bo-o-o-ing My eyes lit up and my heart went bang Her shoes paddy-wack in the front and the back Chicka-boom, chicka-racky-boom
It was way up in Alaska And the moment that I passed her In my heart a little bugle blew attack Though I knew I should resist her I walked up to her and kissed her And she didn't slap my face, she kissed me back
Chicka-boom, chicka-rack Chicka-boom, chicka-rack Chicka-boom, chicka-rack, she's singin' Her shooes paddy-wack in front and the back And her yellow curls go swingin' Bells just rang, Bo-o-o-ing My eyes lit up and my heart went bang Her shoes paddy-wack in the front and the back Chicka-boom, chicka-racky-boom
Told me she was from Seattle Where her Daddy raises cattle But she's far away from home and so forlorn Said the Yukon had her freezin' And it would be mighty pleasin' If I'd hug her once or twice to keep her warm
Chicka-boom, chicka-rack Chicka-boom, chicka-rack Chicka-boom, chicka-rack, she's singin' Her shooes paddy-wack in the front and the back And her yellow curls go swingin' Bells just rang, Bo-o-o-ing My eyes lit up and my heart went bang Her shoes paddy-wack in front and the back Chicka-boom, chicka-racky-boom
Oh, for her love I'd swim to China But I'm not a rich goldminer I can't give her things like rings an' fancy furs But I'm still not gonna back-up Gonna paint my little shack up I'll tell her if she wants it, well it's hers
Chicka-boom, chicka-rack Chicka-boom, chicka-rack Chicka-boom, chicka-rack, she's singin' Her shoes paddy-wack in the front and the back And her yellow curls go swingin' Bells just rang, Bo-o-o-ing My eyes lit up and my heart went bang Her shoes paddy-wack in the front and the back (Her shoes paddy-wack in the front and the back) Chicka-boom, chicka-rack, chicka-boom, chicka-rack (Chicka-boom, chicka-rack, chicka-boom, chicka-rack) Chicka-boom, chicka-rack Boom, chicka-rack Boom, chicka-rack Chicka-boom

Thanks For The Memory Composer(s): Ralph Rainger - Leo Robin First performance by: Bob Hope & Shirley Ross - 1938 Covered by multiple other artists
Thanks for the memory Of sentimental verse Nothing in my purse And chuckles When the preacher said For better or for worse How lovely it was
Thanks for the memory Of Schubert's Serenade Little things of jade And traffic jams And anagrams And bills we never paid How lovely it was
We who could laugh over big things Were parted by only a slight thing I wonder if we did the right thing Oh, well, that's life, I guess I love your dress
Thanks for the memory Of faults that you forgave Of rainbows on a wave And stockings in the basin When a fellow needs a shave Thank you so much
Thanks for the memory Of tinkling temple bells Alma mater yells And Cuban rum And towels from The very best hotels Oh how lovely it was
Thanks for the memory Of cushions on the floor Hash with Dinty Moore That pair of gay pajamas That you bought And never wore
We said goodbye with a highball Then I got as high as a steeple But we were intelligent people No tears, no fuss Hooray for us
Strictly entire nous Darling, how are you? And how are all Those little dreams That never did come true?
Awfully glad I met you Cheerio and toodle-oo Thank you Thank you so much
Thanks a million a million thanks to you For everything that love could bring you brought to me
How can I convey it all I dont want to bore you Oh, its so hard to say it all, standing here before you Theres so very much to say in so many ways But Ive found a different way in a current phrase Oh, thanks a million a million thanks to you For everything that love could bring you brought to me Each tender love word you happened to say Is hidden away in memorys bouquet Oh, thanks a million, for I remember, too The tenderness that your caresses taught me You made a million dreams come true And so Im saying thanks a million to you
