    The Russians Were Rushin' The Yanks Started Yankin'
    Composer(s): Carey Morgan - Charles McCarron



    I dreamed of a scene in an old soldier's home
    The year was nineteen fifty three
    With medals galore that he'd won in this war
    He sat smoking peacefully
    Tell me of the war of nineteen seventeen
    Said his grandson who stood by his side
    How did they fix up that terrible mix up?
    And proudly the old man replied

    My dream quickly changed to a schoolroom that day
    The lesson was geography
    A child raised her hand, said, "I don't understand
    This map looks all wrong to me
    What is this strange place that is marked Germany?"
    And the teacher replied with a roar
    "Why, that's an old map, dear since we had that scrap, dear
    There ain't no such place anymore

    The Russsians were rushin' the Prussians
    The Prussians were crushin' the Russians
    The Balkins were balkin' and Turkey was squawkin'
    Rasputin disputtin' and Italy scootin'
    The Boches all bulled Bolshevikis
    The British were skittish at sea
    But the good Lord I'm thankin'
    The Yanks started yankin'
    And yanked Kaiser Bill up a tree

    The Russsians were rushin' the Prussians
    The Prussians were crushin' the Russians
    The good old Italians were hurling batallions
    Canadians raidin' and Frenchmen invadin'
    The Bulgars were bulgin' the Belgians
    But Yanks started yankin' you see
    And when Peace was conceded
    Some new maps were needed
    They ruined the geography

    Closer Still
    Composer(s): Tish Hinojosa
    Performer(s): Tish Hinojosa; Emily Singleton



    "Closer Still than e'er my arms have held you
    Or the beating rhythm of my heart
    I belong to you in frozen mem'ries
    And framed in gold is my desire
    Closer Still than starlight soft upon you
    For though a million shine tonight
    Deep inside is where one lonely forgotten
    Dream is waiting here
    Closer Still
    Closer Still is every word that takes me
    To the fire burnin' without end
    In the moonlight pale a song is sayin'
    That time will find us back again
    Closer Still our shadows must be swayin'
    For I can almost hear you say
    Deep inside is where one lonely forgotten
    Dream is waiting here
    Closer Still"

    Return To Terrapin
    Composer(s): Robert Hunter
    Performer(s): The Grateful Dead



    Up these steps beside me climb
    To Terrapin and points sublime
    Robbed of reason, faith and name
    Broken-hearted blind and lame

    Slain by doubt, mistaken trust
    Abandoned in the rain to rust
    Shriveled by the heat of day
    Torn to shreds by birds of prey

    Shapeless in the fire's glow
    Tell me if you think you know
    Who it was we were below
    Where we've been and where we go

    Lilies have the bees to tend them
    Grasses have the breeze to bend them
    Broken hearts have tears to mend them
    Show us stairs, we will ascend them

    Stair by stair by stair we climb
    Voices hushed to sighs by time
    Speak our souls in pantomime
    Clear cold bells of winter chime

    Pale through this ghostly haze
    The dawn of a newborn moon
    Illuminates this ancient maze
    Of tumbled stones rough hewn

    Trust your faith and enter
    By paths the heart divines
    The sun lies at the center
    Through gates of creeping vines

    how faint the rays
    of former days
    in avenues of time
    but it does shine
    emblem of sight
    pride of the eyes
    that shatters shadow
    and all of the dark defies

    Let the sun rise!

    The Runner
    Performer(s): Manfred Mann's Earth Band



    Through the night, through the dawn
    Behind you another runner is born
    Don't look back you've been there
    Feel the mist as your breath hits the air
    And it's underneath the moonlight
    Passing some
    Still your heart beats in the moonlight
    Like a drum

    Through the night, through the dawn
    Behind you another runner is born
    Don't look back, you've been there
    Feel the mist as your breath hits the air
    And it's underneath the moonlight
    Passing some
    Still your heart beats in the moonlight
    Like a drum

    And you will run your time
    A shooting star across the sky
    And you will surely cross the line
    To pass on the flame
    Sun come up, sun go down
    Hear the feet see the sweat on the ground
    Watch your step, keep your cool
    Though you can't see what's in front of you

    And it's underneath the moonlight
    Passing some
    Still your heart beats in the moonlight
    Like a drum

    And you will run your time
    A shooting star across the sky
    And you will surely cross the line
    To pass on the flame
    Pass on the flame
    Through the night, through the dawn
    Behind you another runner is born
    Don't look back, you've been there
    See the mist as your breath hits the air

    And it's underneath the moonlight
    Passing some
    Still your heart beats in the moonlight
    Like a drum

    Closer Every Day
    Composer(s): Patrick Simmons
    Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers



    I just looked in the mirror
    Was that me?
    I'm older now than I used to be
    The sky above me, Lord, it's turnin' red
    There's a hard rain fallin' 'round my head

    Oh Lord, fallin' round my head
    Oh Lord, fallin' round my head
    Oh Lord, fallin' round my head
    Oh Lord, fallin' round my head

    The road I'm standin' on, it twists and turns
    The soles of my feet, Lord, they're 'bout to burn
    The reaper beckons, and he points the way
    Oh Lord, I'm gettin' closer everyday

    Oh Lord, closer every day
    Oh Lord, closer every day
    Oh Lord, closer every day
    Oh Lord, closer every day

    The road I'm standin' on, it twists and turns
    The soles of my feet, Lord, they're 'bout to burn
    The reaper beckons, and he points the way
    Oh Lord, I'm gettin' closer everyday

    Oh Lord, closer every day
    Oh Lord, closer every day
    Oh Lord, closer every day
    Oh Lord, closer every day

    Return To Sender
    Composer(s): Otis Blackwell; Winfield Scott
    Performer(s): Elvis Presley



    Return to sender, return to sender

    I gave a letter to the postman, he put it his sack
    Bright and early next morning, he brought my letter back
    (She wrote upon it) "Return to sender, address unknown
    No such number, no such zone"

    We had a quarrel, a lover's spat
    I write I'm sorry, but my letter keeps coming back

    So then I dropped it in the mailbox and sent it special D
    Bright and early next morning, it came right back to me
    (She wrote upon it) "Return to sender, address unknown
    No such person, no such zone"

    This time I'm gonna take it myself and put it right in her hand
    And if it comes back the very next day, then I'll understand
    (The writing on it) " Return to sender, address unknown
    No such number, no such zone"

    Aah, return to sender, return to sender, return to sender....

    The Runaway Train
    Composer(s): Guy Massey - Carson Robison
    Performer(s): Vernon Dalhart



    T'was in the year of eighty-nine, on that old Chicago line
    When the winter wind was blowin' shrill
    The rails were froze, the wheels were cold, then the air brakes wouldn't hold
    And Number Nine came roaring down the hill... oooooh!

    The runaway train came down the track and she blew, she blew
    The runaway train came down the track and she blew, she blew
    The runaway train came down the track, her whistle wide and her throttle back
    And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew

    The engineer said the train must halt and she blew, she blew
    The engineer said the train must halt and she blew, she blew
    The engineer said the train must halt, he said it was all the fireman's fault
    And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew

    The fireman said he rang the bell and she blew, she blew
    The fireman said he rang the bell and she blew, she blew
    The fireman said he rang the bell, the engineer said "You did like hell!"
    And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew

    The porter got an awful fright and she blew, she blew
    The porter got an awful fright and she blew, she blew
    The porter got an awful fright, he got so scared he near turned white
    And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew

    A donkey was standing in the way and she blew, she blew
    A donkey was standing in the way and she blew, she blew
    A donkey was standing in the way and all they found was just his bray
    And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew

    A drummer sat in the parlor car and she blew, she blew
    A drummer sat in the parlor car and she blew, she blew
    A drummer sat in the parlor car and he nearly swallowed a fat cigar
    And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew

    The conductor said there'd be a wreck and she blew, she blew
    The conductor said there'd be a wreck and she blew, she blew
    The conductor said there'd be a wreck and he felt the chills run up his neck
    And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew

    The runaway train went over the hill and she blew, she blew
    The runaway train went over the hill and she blew, she blew
    The runaway train went over the hill and the last we heard she was going still
    And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew

    Closer
    Performer(s): Mel Carter



    Loving you madly will be forever
    I see the ocean in your eyes when we're together
    There are no boundaries , there are no limits
    My heart has been embraced now that you're in it

    Hold me closer to your dreams
    Closer to your fears
    Close to hear your laughter
    Hold me when you're close to tears

    Time passes by seconds into minutes
    Every field and flower fades ,but love is infinite
    There are no boundaries ,there are no limits
    My heart is a bigger place now that you're in it

    Hold me closer to your dreams
    Closer to your fears
    Close to hear your laughter
    Hold me when you're close to tears

    I wanna be the one
    You tell your secrets to
    All that I want is to be closer
    Closer to you

    How tight can you hold me ?
    How long can we stay awake ?
    How hard can we laugh ?
    How much love can we make ?

    Hold me closer to your dreams
    Closer to your fears
    Close to hear your laughter
    Hold me when you're close to tears

    I wanna be the one
    You tell your secrets to
    All that I want is to be closer
    Closer to you

    Return To Pooh Corner
    Composer(s): Kenny Loggins
    Performer(s): Kenny Loggins;
    Jim Salestrom; Phillip Sandifer



    Christopher Robin and I walked along
    Under branches lit up by the moon
    Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore
    As our days disappeared all too soon
    But I've wandered much further today than I should
    And I can't seem to find my way back to the Wood

    So help me if you can
    I've got to get back
    To the House at Pooh Corner by one
    You'd be surprised
    There's so much to be done
    Count all the bees in the hive
    Chase all the clouds from the sky
    Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh

    Winnie the Pooh doesn't know what to do
    Got a honey jar stuck on his nose
    He came to me asking help and advice
    And from here no one knows where he goes
    So I sent him to ask of the Owl if he's there
    How to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear

    It's hard to explain how a few precious things
    Seem to follow throughout all our lives
    After all's said and done I was watching my son
    Sleeping there with my bear by his side
    So I tucked him in, I kissed him and as I was going
    I swear that the old bear whispered "Boy welcome home"

    Believe me if you can
    I've finally come back
    To the House at Pooh Corner by one
    What do you know
    There's so much to be done
    Count all the bees in the hive
    Chase all the clouds from the sky
    Back to the days of Christopher Robin
    Back to the ways of Christopher Robin
    Back to the days of Pooh

    The Rules Of The Road
    Composer(s): Cy Coleman - Carolyn Leigh
    Performer(s): Tony Bennett
    and multiple other artists



    So these are the ropes
    The tricks of the trade
    The rules of the road
    You're one of the dopes
    For whom they were made
    The rules of the road

    You follow that kiss
    And recklessly miss
    A bend of the road
    Then suddenly this
    The end of the road

    So love is a hoax
    A glittering string
    Of little white lies
    But these are the jokes
    And what if they bring
    The tears to your eyes

    Well love often shows a funny return
    The brighter it glows
    The longer you burn
    And Lord only knows
    Love has little concern
    For the fools of the road

    That's how it goes
    You live and you learn
    The rules of the road

    Well love often shows a funny return
    The brighter it glows
    The longer you burn
    And Lord only knows
    Love has little concern
    For the fools of the road

    That's how it goes
    You live and you learn
    The rules of the road
    The rules of the road

    Close Your Eyes And Remember

    Ramsey Lewis; Urban Knights



    Blowing softly through a meadow
    Laughing like a baby, breeze tapping
    lightly at the treetops, whispering among the leaves

    You hear the magic song, that ancient poets sing
    It's sweet as morning dew and sounds a lot like springtime
    When you close your eyes
    You feel your heat go there
    So close your eyes and you may find that
    Fireflies were as bright as stars
    Close your eyes and remember
    Summertime lingered on and on
    Close your eyes and remember
    Your first love made the world stand still
    Close your eyes and remember
    Close your eyes and remembers when
    The moon was made of cheese

    Racing swiftly through the mountains
    Bubbling along the stream
    Sighing sweetly through the hollow
    Gentle as an infant's dream

    It's paradise here where the sun meets the sea
    There's nothing to fear and so much to be
    But soon I must go, say goodbye to it all
    That homeland of mine is beginning to call

    Goodbye doesn't mean this has to be the end
    Fading dreams grow cold as ice
    And I got a feeling we will meet again
    When we return to paradise

    The wind in our hair and the sun in our eyes
    There's no need for tears and no time for lies
    So reach out your hand and I'll reach out my heart
    Remember me while we are apart

    I'm heading homeward
    Leaving sunshine and heading for rain
    But we'll return to paradise again

    The Rudder And The Rock
    Composer(s): William Oliver - Ray Glaser - Fred Warren - Kenneth McGehen
    Performer(s): David Whitfield



    One night a sailor at full look out
    Heard a lonely seagull cry
    He caught a sudden smell of brimstone
    And a strange ship floated by
    A dead man’s hand was on the tiller
    As it sailed beneath the moon
    He heard the ghostly captain holler
    Your time is coming soon
    Who does not answer to the rudder
    Shall answer to the rock
    If you don’t watch the compass brother
    You’ll never make the dock
    You’ll end your days right on the bottom
    Under Davy Jones’s lock
    Who does not answer to the rudder
    Shall answer to the rock

    The crew sang out a devil’s shanty
    As they hauled their mainsail tight
    Their dungarees were rags and tatters
    And their bones were gleaming white
    The bosun held an empty spyglass
    Where the captain’s eye should be
    For they were doomed to sail the ocean
    For all eternity
    Who does not answer to the rudder
    Shall answer to the rock
    If you don’t watch the compass brother
    You’ll never make the dock
    You’ll end your days right on the bottom
    Under Davy Jones’s lock
    Who does not answer to the rudder
    Shall answer to the rock

    A crash of thunder shook the heavens
    As the sailor shook with fear
    The lightning flickered round the ghost ship
    As he watched it disappear
    He knew it was the Flying Dutchman
    Come to warn him to take heed
    He vowed when he got back to harbour
    A better life he’d lead
    Who does not answer to the rudder
    Shall answer to the rock
    If you don’t watch the compass brother
    You’ll never make the dock
    You’ll end your days right on the bottom
    Under Davy Jones’s lock
    Who does not answer to the rudder
    Shall answer to the rock
    Shall answer to the rock

    There's a warm red ecstasy to love

    Just look in the heart of my love for you
    You'll find the ruby and the pearl

    My love will endure as the diamond
    And shine with the shimmer of gold
    It glows as the bright star above for you
    A thing of beauty to behold

    Come close and cling to my kiss
    Stay close and share the passion of this

    Yes, love is as warm as the ruby
    And love is as pure as the pearl
    Just look in the heart of my love for you
    You'll find the ruby and the pearl

    The ruby and the pearl

    Close Your Eyes
    Composer(s): Valerie Carter; Tennent
    Performer(s): Jack Hylton



    Close your eyes and leave the world behind you
    Close your eyes till morning comes to find you
    While the stars are shining above
    Only our love dreams will remind you

    Through the skies a silver moon is sweeping
    Close your eyes and soon you will be sleeping
    Say "goodnight" and then turn out the light
    And close your eyes

    Return To Forever
    Composer(s): Richard Rudolph; R. Waldman
    Performer(s): Minnie Riperton



    Days... floating round the bend
    Thru the rainbow's end
    Return to forever

    Nights... ring around the moon
    ending all too soon
    Return to forever

    When we reach the Autumn's bend
    Will we wish that we were young again
    Laughing in the face of time
    If only we knew now, what we did then

    Clouds... billow cross the sky
    Changing as they fly
    Return to forever

    Waves... rush to kiss the shore
    Once and nevermore
    Go back, return to forever

    How I wish that you were mine
    And we could live again that summertime
    To be that happy just this once again
    If only we felt now as we did then

    Child... holding out your hand
    Please try to understand
    Return to forever, return to forever

    The Rubberband Man
    Composer(s): Linda Creed - Thom Bell
    Performer(s): The Spinners; Youssou N'Dour; Electric Six



    Hand me down my walkin’ cane, hand me down my hat
    Hurry now and don’t be late, ‘cause we ain’t got time to chat
    You and me, we’re goin’ out to catch the latest sounds
    Guaranteed to blow your mind so high you won’t come down!

    Hey, y’all prepare yourself for The Rubberband Man!
    You never heard a sound like The Rubberband Man!
    You’re bound to lose control when The Rubberband starts to jam!

    Oh, Lord, this dude is outta sight!
    Everything he does seems to come out right!

    Once I went to hear him play at a club outside of town
    I was so surprised, I was hypnotized by the sound this cat’s puttin’ down!
    When I saw this short fat guy stretch a band between his toes
    Hey, I laughed so hard ‘cause the man got down when he finally reached his nose!

    Hey, y’all prepare yourself for The Rubberband Man!
    You never heard a sound like The Rubberband Man!
    You’re bound to lose control when The Rubberband starts to jam!

    Got that rubberband up on his toes!
    And then he wriggled it up all around his nose!

    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Guaranteed to blow your mind!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Playin’ all that music, yet keepin’ time!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Where in the world did he learn that?! Oh, Lord!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo)
    Lord, help him get away!

    Hey, y’all prepare yourself for The Rubberband Man!
    You never heard a sound like The Rubberband Man!
    You’re bound to lose control when The Rubberband starts to jam!

    Doo doo doo doo doo,
    Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!
    Doo doo doo doo doo,
    Rubberband Man, Rubberband Man!

    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Doo doo doo doo doo!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Mmm! Watch him! He keep a-move, a-just a mo-vin'!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Got a groovin' on the corner!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo)
    He's had enough, y’all!
    Whoa-oh-oh!

    Hey, y’all prepare yourself for The Rubberband Man!
    You never heard a sound like The Rubberband Man!
    You’re bound to lose control when The Rubberband starts to jam!

    Ah-yah-yah-yah-yah!
    Whoa, that Rubberband Man's a doozy!
    Move so quick, Lord, he makes me lose it!

    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    And then he stops the show, now!
    He wiggled it up, he wiggled it down!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Got his feet to movin', and that Rubberband off the ground!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    He lifted it way up high, ha!
    In the sky, 'y'all!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo)
    Oh get with it, y’all!

    Hey, y’all prepare yourself for The Rubberband Man!
    You never heard a sound like The Rubberband Man!
    You’re bound to lose control when The Rubberband starts to jam!

    Doo doo doo doo doo doo
    Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo!
    Doo doo doo doo doo doo
    Rubberband Man, oh!

    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    How much of this stuff do he think we can stand?
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    So much rhythm, grace and debonair from one man, Lord!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    And then he had nerve to wiggle his left toe!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo)
    To his knee, got the feelin’ in his head, y’all!
    Ah, come on, baby!

    Hey, y’all prepare yourself for The Rubberband Man!
    You never heard a sound like The Rubberband Man!
    You’re bound to lose control when The Rubberband starts to jam!

    Rubberband Man starts to jam,
    Movin’ up and down across the land!
    Got people all in his ways,
    Everything about him seems out of place!

    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Just a movin’, just a movin’, just a move-move-movin’
    Just a Rubberband, Rubberband Man!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Just a movin’, just a movin’, just a move-move-movin’
    Just a Rubberband, Rubberband Man, get down!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Oh, get down lover, uh-huh!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo)
    Oh, he can jam, y'all!

    Hey, y’all prepare yourself for The Rubberband Man!
    You never heard a sound like The Rubberband Man! (He never fails to groove!)
    You’re bound to lose (And did you see him move?) control when The Rubberband starts to jam!

    Oohwee! What's he doin' to me?!
    Rhythms I ain't felt before!
    Just move 'em up by me!

    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Gotta move! I gotta groove!
    Rubberband Man, oh-oh-oh!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Ah-yah-yah-yah!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    The way he twiddles his toes and can play it on his nose is twofold!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo)
    How does he do it, y’all?!
    I don't know!

    Hey, y’all prepare yourself for The Rubberband Man!
    You never heard a sound like The Rubberband Man!
    You’re bound to lose control when The Rubberband starts to jam!

    I'm ready to jam, ugh! Gonna do my Rubberband!
    I'm ready to jam, ugh! Gonna do my Rubberband!

    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Twang-a-twang-a-twang-a-twang-a-twang!
    Ugh! Lord, have mercy!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Twang-a-twang-a-twang-a-twang-a-twang!
    Ugh! Just stopped me in my bones!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Twang-a-twang-a-twang-a-twang-a-twang!
    Don't mess with me, y'all! I got a groove when I'm here!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo)
    Ah-yah-yah-yah!

    Hey, y’all prepare yourself for The Rubberband Man!
    You never heard a sound like The Rubberband Man!
    You’re bound to lose control when The Rubberband starts to jam!

    Oh, he's a big, fat man that moves real good!
    Everybody oughta knock on wood!
    When you see The Man do his stuff
    Oh, Lord, I done seen enough!

    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    A groovy show! Gotta standing room, side-to-side!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Oh, gimme a grip and then a-hold on tight!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Oh, he's The Man! The Rubberband Man!!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo!)

    Close Your Eyes
    Composer(s): Bernice Petkere
    Originally performed by: Freddie Martin
    Covered by various other artists



    Music play
    something dreamy for dancing
    while we're here romancing
    It's love's holiday
    And Love will be our guide

    Close your Eyes
    When you open them dear
    I'll be right hear by your side
    So...

    Close your eyes
    rest your head on my shoulder and sleep
    Close your eyes
    And I will close mine

    Close your eyes
    Let's pretend that we're both counting sheep
    Close your eyes
    This is divine

    Music play
    something dreamy for dancing
    while were here romancing
    It's love's holiday
    And Love will be our guide

    Close your Eyes
    When you open them dear
    I'll be near by your side
    So won't you close your eyes...
