The Pale Faced Indian
((French Version: L'amie Des Esprits (Martin Circus) - 1975))
Composer(s): John D. Loudermilk
First release by: Marvin Rainwater - 1960
Covered by multiple other artists



They took away the whole Cherokee nation
And put us on this reservation

They took away our way of life
Our tomahawk and huntin' knife
And the old teepee we all loved so
They're using now just for a show
They put our papoose in a crib
and took the buck skin from our rib
And they took away our native tongue
and taught their English to our young

Hiya, hiya, ho! Hiya hi, hiya ho!
Hiya, hiya, Hiya ho!

Altho' they changed our ways of old
They'll never change our heart and soul
And tho' I wear a white man's tie
I'll be a red man till I die

All the beads we made by hand
are nowadays made in Japan

The Painless Dentist Song
((Adapted from: The Continental (Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers))
Composer(s): Con Conrad - Herbert Magidson
Performer(s): Allan Sherman



Beautiful molars...
Lovely bicuspids...
I'm Dr. Prentice, the painless dentist
By that what's meant is
It really doesn't hurt
This is Miss Klinger; you've met her finger
So open wide, and Miss Klinger will squirt
Well, well, I say there
We've got decay there
Can't let it stay there and cause you all that pain
So please Miss Klinger, remove your finger
And won't you hand me down my Novocaine
It's far worse than I thought it was
My charge is gonna be large
Don't be unwilling
It's just a filling
I'm simply drilling to dig a little pit
Don't fight Miss Klinger, or bite her finger
And now while I change the drill you can spit
I hum while you're bleeding
It takes your mind off
The things I grind off
Your gums are receding
You'll have to come back
We'll build that gum back
And now if you will open wide
Miss Klinger's gonna put her whole darn fist inside
That's it... now it's over
They'll be a puffiness around your cheeks
You'll have to eat soft food for three more weeks
And if you'll kindly stop those ghastly shrieks
I'm through
Beautiful molars...
Lovely bicuspids...
By Dr. Prentice!

The Owl And The Pussycat
Composer(s): Edward Lear - Elton Hayes
Performer(s): Elton Hayes



The owl and the pussycat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat
They took some honey and plenty of money
Wrapped up in a five pound note

The owl looked up to the stars above
And sang to a small guitar
"Oh, lovely pussy, oh pussy my love
What a beautiful pussy you are, you are, you are
What a beautiful pussy you are"

Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl
How charmingly sweet you sing!
Oh! let us be married, too long we have tarried
But what shall we do for a ring?"

They sailed away, for a year and a day
To the land where the Bong Tree grows
And there in a wood, a piggy-wig stood
With a ring at the end of his nose, his nose, his nose
A ring at the end of his nose 

Said the owl, "Are you willing to sell for one shilling, your ring?"
Said the piggy, "I will"
So they took it away and were married next day
By the turkey who lived on the hill

They dined on quince— and slices of mince
Served up with a runcible spoon
And hand in hand, by the edge of the sand
They danced by the light of the moon, the moon, the moon
They danced by the light of the moon

We Are The Ovaltineys
Composer(s): Harry Hemsley



We are the Ovaltineys, little girls and boys
Make your requests, we'll not refuse you
We are here just to amuse you
Would you like a song or story?
Will you share our joys?
At games and sports we're more than keen
No merrier children could be seen
Because we all drink Ovaltine
We're happy girls and boys

The Outlaw's Prayer
Composer(s): Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton
Performer(s): Johnny Paycheck



You know, I worked the Big Packet show in Fort Worth, Saturday night
We had all day Sunday to rest and relax, before I caught another flight
So I decided to walk down town an' get myself a little fresh air
Before long, I found myself in front of a big church on the corner of the square

Boy, I could hear that singin' way out in the street, sure was a beautiful sound
So I just walked up the steps an' opened the door an' started to go inside an' sit down
But before I could, a young man walked over to me an said: "Excuse me, Sir
"But I can't let you in with that big black hat, those jeans, that beard an' long hair

So I just left, went back outside, sat down on that kerbing, an I thought to myself
That's the house of the Lord. That guy's got the hell of a nerve
Tellin' me I can't worship anywhere I please
So right there, in front of that Church, I just knelt down on my knees

I said: "Lord, I know I don't look like much, but I didn't think you'd mind
"I just wanted to be with your people, Lord: it's been a long time
"A while ago, a saw a wino over there in the alley, all bent over in tears
"An' I thought how one stained glass window, from this Church, would feed his family for years"

"Then there's those fine cars parked outside: too many for me to count
"Made me think how people walked for days to hear your sermon on the mount
"Then there's those fine ladies in the choir, Lord, singin' like they really love it
"Hell, last night, they were dancin' on the front row of my show: drinkin' beer, screamin: 'Sing Shove It'

"You know, even John the Baptist wouldn't be welcome in this place
"With his coat made of Camel hair an' sandals on his feet an' a long beard on his face
"You know, Lord, when you come back to get your children, an' take 'em beyond the clouds
"To live forever in Heaven with you: well, I'd sure hate to be in this crowd

"You know, Lord, I'm not perfect; some even call me no count
"But I'll tell you: I believe a man is judged by what's in his heart, not what's in his bank account
"So if this is what religion is: a big car, a suit an' a tie
"Then I might as well forget it Lord, 'cause I can't qualify

"Oh, by the way, Lord, right before they kicked me out, didn't I see a picture of you?
"With sandals an' a beard. Believe you had long hair too"
"Well, this is Paycheck, signing off
"I'll be seein' you Lord, I hope"

The Other Woman, The Other Man
Composer(s): Gerard Kenny - Drey Shepperd - Barry Mason
Performer(s): Gerard Kenny



Oh what a tangled web we weave 
When we practise to deceive
We play our games and tell our lies 
And synchronise our alibis 

They say forbidden fruit tastes sweeter
It's precious and so rare
It's heaven when you taste it 
And it's hell when it's not there
I don't see you when I want to 
You only see me when you can
'Cause you're the other woman 
And I'm the other man

May be wrong, but it feels so right 
Lying here in the candle light
A secret place for you and me 
And nowhere else we'd rather be

They say forbidden fruit tastes sweeter  
It's precious and so rare
It's heaven when you taste it
And it's hell when it's not there 
I don't see you when I want to 
You only see me when you can
'Cause you're the other woman 
And I'm the other man

It's paradise but we pay the price 
'Cause ecstasy doesn't come free
I don't see you when I want to 
And you only see me when you can 
'Cause you're the other woman 
And I'm the other...

Oh what a tangled web we weave 
When we practise to deceive

Het Krieken Van De Dag
((Adapted from: Dimming Of The Day (Richard and Linda Thompson - 1975))
Composer(s): Richard Thompson - Gerry De Mol
Performer(s): Eva De Roovere & Gerry De Mol - 2004



Dit oude huis valt zowat in en alles slaapt
Een wereldoorlog in mijn hoofd en maag
Als alles om me heen valt, hou me vast
Was je hier maar, bij het krieken van de dag

Je hoort bij mij als de maan en het getij
Kom bij mij, stop me in en blijf

Wat blijft er van ons over, elk apart?
Elk een kater, elk een gebroken hart
Ik stuur alle vervangers weg vannacht
Als je hier bent bij het krieken van de dag

Valt de nacht, vlij je aan mijn zij
Valt de nacht, blijf je dan bij mij?

En zie ik je op straat en loop je door
Waarom kijk je niet om en ga je voort?
Het donker duurt vannacht maar half zo lang
Als je hier bent bij het krieken van de dag

The Other Side Of This Life
Composer(s): Fred Neil
First release by: Fred Neil - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



Would you like to know a secret just between you and me
I don't know where I'm going next, I don't know who I'm gonna be
But that's the other side of this life I've been leading
That's the other side of this life

Well my whole world's in an uproar, my whole world's upside down
I don"t know where I'm going next, but I'm always bumming around
And that's another side to this life I've been leading
And that's another side to this life

Well I don't know what doing for half the time, I don't know where I'm going
I think I'll get me a sailing boat and sail the Gulf of Mexico
But that's another side of this life I've been leading
And that's another side of this life

Well I think I'll go to Nashville down in Tennesse
The ten cent life I've been leading here gonna be the death of me
But that's the other side of this life I've been leading
And that's another side to this life

Would you like to know a secret just between you and me
I don't know where I'm going next, I don't know who I'm gonna be
But that's the other side of this life I've been leading
But that's the other side of this life

The Other Side Of The World
Performer(s): Chaka Khan



A penny has two faces
When one of them you have to choose
Between the two places
One must win and one must lose

You say you have a sense of freedom
Whenever you're away from here
Put your hand on your heart and tell me
That you never shed a tear

Aw, what you doing babe
On the other side of the world
With all those fancy girls
Never believe their hearts are stone
They may warm your bed when you're alone
But I can warm your heart and soul
On the other side of the world

Life is only snakes and ladders
Sometimes up and sometimes down
It doesn't really matter baby
When you got love around

Aw, but you won't find that lovin', no
On the other side of the world
With all those crazy girls
Never believe their hearts are stone
They may warm your bed when you're alone
But I can warm your heart and soul
On the other side of the world

I'll be waitin' for you
Never believe their hearts are stone
They may warm your bed when you're alone
But I can warm your heart and soul
On the other side of the world
On the other side of the world
On the other side of the world
On the other side of the world
On the other side of the world
On the other side of the world

The Other Side Of The Cross
Performer(s): The Statler Brothers



There were tears in the eyes of Jesus
There were nails in the palms of His hands
There were thorns in His brow
And only God could know how
Much pain He could withstand

There was blood all around the hillside
As a Mother mourned her loss
But we all stood to gain
From the Heavenly pain
On other side of the Cross

On the other side of the Cross
The side that no one could see
Hung the spirit of things yet to come
On the future of you and me

And what he gave that day on the Cross
Not one bit of love has been lost
Hold my hand stand up and say
If you were there on that day 
On the other side of the cross

On the other side of the cross
The side that no one can see
Hung the spirit of things yet to come
On the future of you and me

And what he gave that day on the Cross
Not one bit of love has been lost
Hold my hand stand up and say
If you were there on that day 
On the other side of the cross

Hold my hand stand up and say
If you were there on that day 
On the other side of the cross

Other Man's Grass Is Always Greener 
Composer(s): Tony Hatch - Jackie Trent
Performer(s): Petula Clark
and multiple other artists



Life is never what it seems
We're always searching in our dreams
To find that little castle in the air
When worry starts to cloud the mind
It's hard to leave it all behind
And just pretend you haven't got a care

There's someone else in your imagination
You wish that you were standing in their shoes
You'd change your life without much hesitation
But would you if you really had to choose?

So, don't look around
Get your feet on the ground
It's much better by far
To be just who you are

The other man's grass is always greener
The sun shines brighter on the other side
The other man's grass is always greener
Some are lucky, some are not
But just be thankful for what you've got

Many times, it seems to me
There's someone else I'd rather be
Living in a world of make-believe
To stay in bed 'til nearly three
With nothing there to worry me
Would seem to be the life I might achieve

But deep inside, I know I'm really lucky
With happiness I've never known before
And just as long as you are there beside me
I know that I could ask for nothing more

Then living can start
With the love in your heart
So, with you all the time
All the treasures I've longed for are mine

The other man's grass is always greener
The sun shines brighter on the other side
The other man's grass is always greener
Some are lucky, some are not
But I'm so thankful for what I've got
(repeat)

The Other Guy
Composer(s): Graham Goble
Performer(s): Little River Band



I found out that you care for another guy
I found out that you want for another smile
We are alone as two different people can be
And it's hurting me so
Just to know that you don't care for me

The other guy won't be around to talk to our kids
He won't understand when you're down the way that I did
We had it all, you and I, we just need to try again

I found out that your heart's with another guy
You found out that you're tellin' another lie
We've grown apart and goin' our own separate ways
And you don't understand
Why I love you and want you to stay

The other guy won't be around to talk to our kids
He won't understand when you're down the way that I did
We had it all, you and I, we just need to try again

You don't know it's me that you need
You're thinking of him and I can't compete
But I'm here to say I still want you back again

The other guy won't be around to talk to our kids
He won't understand when you're down the way that I did
We had it all, you and I, we just need to try again

The other guy won't be around to talk to our kids
He won't understand when you're down the way that I did
We had it all, you and I, we just need to try again

The other guy won't be around to talk to our kids
He won't understand when you're down the way that I did
We had it all, you and I, we just need to try again

The Ostrich
Composer(s): John Kay
Performer(s): Steppenwolf



We'll call you when you're six years old
And drag you to the factory
To train your brain for eighteen years
With promise of security
But then you're free
And forty years you waste to chase the dollar sign
So you may die in Florida
At the pleasant age of sixty nine

The water's getting hard to drink
We've mangled up the country side
The air will choke you when you breathe
We're all committing suicide
But it's alright
It's progress folks keep pushin' till your body rots
Will strip the earth of all it's green
And then divide her into parking lots

But there's nothing you and I can do
You and I are only two
What's right and wrong is hard to say
Forget about it for today
We'll stick our heads into the sand
Just pretend that all is grand
Then hope that everything turns out ok

You're free to speak your mind my friend
As long as you agree with me
Don't criticize the father land
Or those who shape your destiny
'Cause if you do
You'll lose your job your mind and all the friends you knew
We'll send out all our boys in blue
They'll find a way to silence you

But there's nothing you and I can do
You and I are only two
What's right and wrong is hard to say
Forget about it for today
We'll stick our heads into the sand
Just pretend that all is grand
Then hope that everything turns out ok

Ciri-biri-beeeeeee
For a penny we'll play all your troubles away
Ciri-bee

With the organ, the monkey and me

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Hey Jocko, where's the mon?
The mon you hide from me
You little son-o-ma-gun
I'll send you back to Italy

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

We play the melody Pagliacci
And a La Donna e Mobile
The kids don't want our Pagliacci
They want ha-cha-cha and hi-dee-hay

We never play that way
We play a song of love
A happy song of love
A melody of yesterday

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

When we come to the end of the day
And the organ is laid away
The monkey and me, we lie down to sleep
And I dream of Marie, my baby
She is waiting across the sea
Once again in her arms I'll be
When I go back to Napoli

Ciri-biri-bee
For a penny we'll play all your troubles away
Ciri-bee
Come and sing cirri-bee
with the organ, the monkey and me

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa... 

Orange And The Green
Composer(s): A. Murphy
Performer(s): The Irish Rovers



Oh, it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
My father, he was Orange and me mother, she was green

My father was an Ulster man, proud Protestant was he 
My mother was a Catholic girl, from county Cork was she
They were married in two churches, lived happily enough 
Until the day that I was born and things got rather tough 

Oh, it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
My father, he was Orange and me mother, she was green

Baptized by Father Riley, I was rushed away by car 
To be made a little Orangeman, my father's shining star 
I was christened "David Anthony," but still, inspite of that
To me father, I was William, while my mother called me Pat

Oh, it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
My father, he was Orange and me mother, she was green

With Mother every Sunday, to Mass I'd proudly stroll
Then after that, the Orange lodge would try to save my soul 
For both sides tried to claim me, but i was smart because 
I'd play the flute or play the harp, depending where I was 

Oh, it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
My father, he was Orange and me mother, she was green

One day me Ma's relations came round to visit me
Just as my father's kinfolk were all sitting down to tea 
We tried to smooth things over, but they all began to fight 
And me, being strictly neutral, I bashed everyone in sight

Oh, it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
My father, he was Orange and me mother, she was green 

Now my parents never could agree about my type of school 
My learning was all done at home, that's why I'm such a fool 
They've both passed on, God rest 'em, but left me caught between 
That awful color problem of the Orange and the Green

Oh, it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen 
My father, he was Orange and me mother, she was green 
Yes, it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen 
My father, he was Orange and me mother, she was green

Tom, get your plane right on time
I know your part will go fine
Fly down to Mexico 
Do-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-da-da and here I am
The only living boy in New York

I get the news I need from the weather report 
I can gather all the news I need from the weather report 
Hey, I've got nothing to do to-day but smile 
Do-n-da-da-n-da-n-da-da-n here I am 
The only living boy in New York

Half of the time we're gone, but we don't know 
Where, and we don't know where 

Ah.... 
Here I am

Tom, get your plane right on time 
I know that you've been eager to fly now 
Hey, let your honesty shine, shine, shine now
Do-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-do like it shines on me

You're The Only Light On My Horizon Now
Composer(s): Stephens - Macauley
Performer(s): Sha Na Na



The footlights and the curtain calls
The way she spoke the lines
As though she meant them just for me 
It fooled me every time
Now I'm forgotten for another stage door clown
I wish I hadn't left you, I wish I hadn't left you
Now I'm on the road alone and homeward bound

You're the only light still shining on my horizon now
Shine on, shine on
You're the only silver lining in the grey cloud all around
Shine on, shine on
You light the way ahead
The road I tread is getting hard to climb
I only hope I reach that light in time
You're a lonely cello playing
In the silence all around
You're the only light on my horizon now

The diamonds and the Dior gowns
The rose at every door
The ritzy restaurants uptown was what she took me for
No more than a two-bit player in her masquerade
I wish I hadn't left you, I wish I hadn't left you
Though in your eyes I fit the part I play

You're the only light still shining on my horizon now
Shine on, shine on
You're the only silver lining in the grey cloud all around
Shine on, shine on
You light the way ahead
The road I tread is getting hard to climb
I only hope I reach that light in time
You're a lonely cello playing
In the silence all around
You're the only light on my horizon now

Yes, you're the only light on my horizon now

I'm The Only Hell (Mama Ever Raised)
Composer(s): Bobby Borchers - Mack Vickery - Wayne Kemp

and multiple other artists



I can't sell my momma short on loving me
I guess that's why she let me go so far
Momma tried stopped me short of stealing
I guess that's why I had to steal that car
She told me not to smoke it but I did
and it took me far away
And I turned out to be the only hell my momma ever raised

I rolled into Atlanta stolen tags and almost out of gas
I had to get some money and lately I'd learned how to get it fast
Those neon lights was calling me and somehow I just had to get downtown
So I reached into the glove box another liquor store went down

And I sing Precious Memories take me back to the good old days
Let me hear my momma singing Rock of Ages cleft for me
She tried to turn me on to Jesus but I turned on to the devil's ways
And I turned out to be the only hell my momma ever raised

When they put those handcuffs on me lord how I fought to resist
But that agent clamped them tighter till that metal bit into my wrist
They took my boots and my billfold my fingerprints and the profile of my face
Then they locked away the only hell my momma ever raised

And I sing Precious Memories take me back to the good old days
I can hear my momma singing Rock of Ages cleft for me
She tried to turn me on to Jesus but I turned on to the devil's ways
And I turned out to be the only hell my momma ever raised
She tried to turn me on to Jesus but I turned on to the devil's ways
And I turned out to be the only hell my momma ever raised

The One You Love

Performer(s): Glenn Frey
and multiple other artists



I know you need a friend, someone you can talk to
Who will understand what you're going through
When it comes to love, there's no easy answer
Only you can say what you're gonna do

I heard you on the phone, you took his number
Said you were alone but you'd call him soon
Isn't he the guy, the guy who left you cryin'
Isn't he the one who made you blue

When you remember those nights in his arms
You know you gotta make up your mind

Are you gonna stay with the one who loves you
Or are you goin' back to the one you love
Someone's gonna cry when they know they've lost you
Someone's gonna thank the stars above

What you gonna say when he comes over
There's no easy way to see this through
All the broken dreams, all the disappointments
Oh girl, what you gonna do

Your heart keeps sayin' it's just not fair
But still you gotta make up your mind

Are you gonna stay with the one who loves you
Or are you goin' back to the one you love
Someone's gonna cry when they know they've lost you
Someone's gonna thank the stars above
