    A Square In The Social Circle
    Composer(s): Jay Livingston - Ray Evans
    Performer(s): Betty Hutton; Paul Weston; Darlene Popovic



    When I was young I found it grim
    To gurgle in the social swim
    The dos and don'ts, the lah-di-dahs
    To me were just a lot of Blah!
    I used my silver spoon at birth
    For throwing meatballs at my nurse
    I always chose to thumb my nose
    At smarty clothes and party pose
    I ditched the rich and sable set
    To join the kitchen table set...

    I use the wrong fork at the Stork in New York
    My manners ain't fit for a goof
    I'm just a square in the social circle
    Who put that fly in my soup?

    I'd rather go out with a lout to a bout
    Than sleep in a symphony hall
    I'm just a square in the social circle
    Who knocked my gum off that wall?

    When the orderly order flows like butter
    I want to start pitchin' a curve
    With a silly old blighter on a first nighter
    I feel like a pickled hors d'ouvres, no verve

    I never felt gay in a fancy beret
    I wear babooshka or burst
    I'm just a square in the social circle
    Finger bowls hurt me the worst
    They just don't quench my thirst!

    Mrs. Vanderhorst will greet me with a fourteen carat shout
    "My Dear, you've simply got to come to my daughter's coming out"
    Her daughter is a Frankenstein, a Dracula in mink
    When she comes out, each stag will shout "Gadzooks, I need a drink"
    I've dined in clubs, I've elbow rubbed from Yonkers to Cheyenne
    Phoo to you, bud, take your blue blood and stick it in your fountain pen!

    I wanna brush all the plush and the gush
    I'd rather get left than be right
    I'm just a square in the social circle
    Anyone here want a fight?

    None of me fits with the wits at the Ritz
    I'd rather relax on a stool
    I'm just a square in the social circle
    Anyone wanna shoot pool?

    When the cookie with cabbage gets too savage
    Wrastle him three out of four
    I would rather a sailor hop in my trailer
    And show me his nautical lore, why sure

    The ladies in frills only fill me with chills
    They're soft as a ball of chenille
    I'm just a square in the social circle
    I got a muscle of steel
    Anyone here want to feel?

    I'm as square as a pair in a bootaneer
    Fancy silk won't stay on
    I'm designed for rayon
    But I just don't seem to care
    I'm a square!

    Come And Get These Memories
    Composer(s): Lamont Dozier; Brian Holland; Edward Holland Jr.
    Performer(s): Martha & The Vandellas
    and various other artists



    Lover you've gone from me
    And left behind so many memories

    Here's your old friendship ring
    I can't wear it no more
    Here's your old love letters
    I can't read them any more

    Lover you've gone from me
    And left behind so many memories

    Here's that old teddy bear
    That you won from me at the state
    Here's some old valentine cards
    Give it to your new sweetheart

    Lover you've gone from me
    And left behind so many memories

    Come and get em, come and get em

    Here's our old favorite record
    I can't stand to hear it anymore
    Here's some old lingering love
    Its in my heart and its tearing it apart

    Because of these memories
    I never think of anybody but you
    So, come on and get 'em
    'Cause I found somebody new
    Come and get these memories
    Since you've gone out of my life
    Come and get these memories
    Since you've gone out of my life
    Come and get these memories
    Since you've gone out of my life
    Come and get these memories
    Since you've gone out of my life

    Right On The Tip Of My Tongue
    Composer(s): Joe Cobb; Van McCoy
    Performer(s): Brenda & The Tabulations



    It was right on the tip of my tongue
    And I forgot to say "I love you"
    It was right on the tip of my tongue
    And I forgot to say "I love you"

    I played the game of love and lost
    And now my heart must pay the cost
    I had the chance to make you mine but I wasted too much time
    And let your love slip away

    It was right on the tip of my tongue
    And I forgot to say "I love you"
    It was right on the tip of my tongue
    And I forgot to say "I love you"

    While I was wondering where to start
    She came along and won your heart
    With all the tender words of love that I was thinking of
    But never bothered to say

    Mmm, wait a minute, wait a minute
    I've got something to tell you
    Don't walk away, baby

    It was right on the tip of my tongue
    And I forgot to say "I love you"
    It was right on the tip of my tongue
    (And I forgot to say) to say, to say...

    (Ah, ah, ahh, tip of my tongue) my tongue
    (Tip of my tongue)

    Spoken:
    Didn't you know? Couldn't you see?
    I tried to tell you--please...?
    Don't you understand? I love you...
    Don't walk away...oh, please...?

    Composer(s): John D. Loudermilk

    Time's here to make our minds up
    Dear we're ready for the steady game
    'Til now we've played the field but
    Here now we're ready for the steady game

    All you have to do is just say okay
    And I'll be completely yours alone
    From this day on, my darling,

    Our love is real don't you feel that dear
    We're ready for the steady game

    Come And Get Me
    Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David
    Performer(s): Jackie DeShannon



    I know what life has done to you
    Things haven't been much fun for you
    That's why you went away
    And now, I'm all alone
    I wasn't meant to be on my own

    Turn back, turn back
    And come and get me
    Oh, come and get me
    Take me along
    I don't care where you lead me
    If you leave me
    It can't be wrong just to be with you
    There's no place in this world
    That I wouldn't go

    This time isn't the time for you
    You have to be where the skies are blue
    And here, the skies are gray
    Darling, I understand
    Don't you need someone to hold your hand

    Turn back, turn back
    And come and get me
    Oh, come and get me
    Take me along
    I don't care where you lead me
    If you leave me
    It can't be wrong just to be with you
    There's no place in this world
    That I wouldn't go

    Oh, please, won't you tell me
    Where you've gone to, gone to
    If I knew where you were
    I'd be right there

    Please, send me hope
    To be hanging onto
    Just to show me you care

    Composer(s): Marvin Gaye; Earl DeRouen
    Performer(s): Marvin Gaye



    Hey, baby
    That's alright people
    I know that's alright
    Oh, when we love each other
    I know that's alright
    Oh, feel it, feel it
    Oh, everybody feel it
    God knows that's alright, yeah
    Some of us were born
    With money to spend
    Some of us were born
    For races to win
    Some of us are aware
    That it's good for us to care
    Some of us feel the icy wind
    Of poverty blowing in the air
    For those of us
    Who simply like to socialize
    For those of us who tend to the sick
    Ah, and heed the people's cries
    Let me say to you
    Right on
    Right on, feel it
    Oh, Lord, Lord, people
    And I say, right on
    Honey right on
    For those of us who live
    Where peace is craved
    For of us who live, uh huh
    Where hatred is enslaved, alright
    For those of us who live a life
    Yea, surrounded by good fortune and wealth
    Talk about it
    Those of us who live a life
    Hey, hey, hey, enjoying ourselves
    For those of us who got drowned
    In the sea of happiness
    For the soul that takes pride
    In his God
    And himself and everything else
    Love
    That's all it is
    We need love
    That's all it is
    Love, love
    Love's the thing
    Love, love, love, love
    Sweet love, love
    Wonderful love
    Ah, true love, love
    Love for your brother
    Love for God
    Pure love
    Love can conquer hate everytime
    Give out some love and you'll find
    Peace sublime
    And my darling, one more thing
    If you let me, I will take you
    To live where love is King
    Ah, ah, baby, baby
    People, people
    People who love and care
    That's alright
    Alright
    Ah.............

    The State I'm In
    Composer(s): Glenn Hughes
    Performer(s): Glenn Hughes



    I know that something is wrong
    And I know it’s for real
    I don’t know what I’ve become
    And what do I feel?
    Is it for real?

    Stranger than fiction, I’m lying in fear in my room
    This is the chosen, I’m leaving the pain
    The black cloud is fallin’ again
    The black cloud is fallin’

    And he takes me higher, 2 the state I’m in

    I’m looking down on the Earth as we sail ‘cross the sky
    I’m not alone anymore
    And I don’t wonder why, wonder why
    Locked in this dream
    I’m dying 2 open my eyes

    Lost in the sadness
    Now I’m overcome
    The black cloud is fallin’ again
    The black cloud is fallin’

    This is the chosen, I’m leaving
    The black cloud is fallin’ again

    Cast in the sadness
    Face with no name
    The black cloud is fallin’ again

    Cast in the sadness
    Face with no name
    The black cloud is fallin’ again

    Cast in the sadness
    Face with no name
    The black cloud is fallin’ again

    Cast in the sadness
    Face with no name
    The black cloud is fallin’ again

    If you want it, here it is
    Come and get it
    Make your mind up fast
    If you want it any time
    I can give it
    But you better hurry 'cos it may not last
    Did I hear you say that there must be a catch
    Will you walk away from a fool and his money?
    If you want it, here it is
    Come and get it
    But you better hurry 'cos it's going fast
    Sonny if you want it, here it is
    Come and get it
    But you better hurry 'cos it's going fast - Do

    Performer(s): Mel Tormé



    Right now, let me take you by the hand
    Right now, put your lips at my command
    Right now, fly me onto lovers’ land
    Baby, don’t you leave me at the post
    Kiss me, let me feel it coast to coast
    Right now, baby, need your love the most

    You have set my soul on fire
    Only you can satisfy this great desire

    Right now, let the whole world break in two
    Right now, stars will tumble from the blue
    Right now, just as long as I’m with you

    Right now, it’s the time and it’s the place
    Right now, for a ride through outer space
    Right now, let me have that wild embrace

    You have set my soul on fire
    Only you can satisfy this great desire

    One time, let the wine of love flow free
    One time, be the lover you can be
    Right now, come and give yourself to me

    The stars will remember
    The night we said goodbye
    The stars will remember
    So will I

    A rose as a token
    A kiss that brought a sigh
    The stars will remember
    So will I

    And now the stars and I
    We share the lonely lane
    But in my solitude
    It seems I hear you call my name

    The world may forget you
    As time goes passing by
    The stars will remember
    So will I

    The world may forget you
    As time goes passing by
    The stars will remember
    So - will - I

    Come All Ye
    Composer(s): Sandy Denny; Ashley Hutchings
    Performer(s): Fairport Convention



    Come all ye rolling minstrels
    And together we will try
    To rouse the spirit of the air
    And move the rolling sky

    Those that dance will start to dance
    And those who don't will sway
    In time to this our merry tune
    That we play for you today

    So come all ye rolling minstrels
    And together we will try
    To rouse the spirit of the air
    And move the rolling sky

    Our fiddler, he just loves to play
    And that's why he plays so good
    And now he plays a violin
    Made out of solid wood

    So come all ye rolling minstrels
    And together we will try
    To rouse the spirit of the air
    And move the rolling sky

    Possessor of the magic touch
    But no magician, he
    Will play for you some magic notes
    Instead as you will see

    So come all ye rolling minstrels
    And together we will try
    To rouse the spirit of the air
    And move the rolling sky

    The sound of beating on the drums
    From behind you hear
    And to the rhythm of guitar
    We hope you'll lend an ear

    So come all ye rolling minstrels
    And together we will try
    To rouse the spirit of the air
    And move the rolling sky

    Well, the man who plays the bass does make
    Those low notes that you hear
    And the high notes come from you and me
    For we will sing so clear

    So come all ye rolling minstrels
    And together we will try
    To rouse the spirit of the air
    And move the rolling sky

    You know I need your love
    You've got that hold over me
    Long as I've got your love
    You know that I'll never leave
    When I wanted you to share my life
    I had no doubt in my mind
    And it's been you woman
    Right down the line

    I know how much I lean on you
    Only you can see
    The changes that I've been through
    Have left a mark on me
    You've been as constant as a Northern Star
    The brightest light that shines
    It's been you woman right down the line

    I just wanna say this is my way
    Of tellin' you everything
    I could never say before
    Yeah this is my way of tellin' you
    That every day I'm lovin' you so much more
    'Cause you believed in me through my darkest night
    Put somethin' better inside of me
    You brought me into the light
    Threw away all those crazy dreams
    I put them all behind
    And it was you woman
    Right down the line

    I just wanna say this is my way of tellin' you everything
    I could never say before
    Yeah this is my way of tellin' you
    Everything I could never say before
    Yeah this is my way of tellin' you
    That every day I'm lovin' you so much more

    If I should doubt myself, if I'm losing ground
    I won't turn to someone else
    They'd only let me down
    When I wanted you to share my life
    I had no doubt in my mind
    And it's been you woman
    Right down the line

    The Stars Didn't Show
    Composer(s): Eric Stewart - Graham Gouldman
    Performer(s): 10 cc



    We came from miles around
    Just to listen to your sound
    You made the night seem endless
    You cast a magic spell
    You played the part so well
    Your music blew away the darkness
    We loved you for better
    We loved you for worse
    But we never took you for granted
    Your lives were a blessing
    But they carried a curse
    The night that the stars didn't show
    You made me stand so proud
    I was lifted from the crowd
    The fire inside me burning
    The figure dressed in black
    Sending shivers down my back
    Deep inside my soul was stirring
    We loved you for better
    We loved you for worse
    The sweet inspiration that you gave us
    And I can remember we didn't rehearse
    The night that the stars didn't show
    Mountains may crumble
    And worlds fall apart
    Lovers and friends may desert me
    The road may be long
    But I know in my heart
    Your spirit will always be with me
    The thrill to be up there
    A sea of faces everywhere
    I look I find you
    We loved you for better
    We loved you for worse
    But we never took you for granted
    Your lives were a blessing
    But they carried a curse
    The night that the stars didn't show
    We loved you for better
    We loved you for worse
    The sweet inspiration that you gave us
    And I can remember we didn't rehearse

    Mistakes are made because words are misunderstood
    It's all, all in how you talk
    Waking over somebody, sounds like a strange thing to do
    but it's all, all in how you are (walk)
    Seems like it might be the right thing to say at the time

    and I (how d'you) know I probably say it again
    gimme just a little taste, gimme just a little taste more
    and I'll be flying out, fliyng out the wise and old, old is the whole world
    and I'd just turn around like a baby and I'd crawl, crawl right back inside...

    Love is good, love can be strong
    We gotta get right back to where we started from

    Do you remember the day - (that sunny day) - when you first came my way
    I said no-one can take your place
    And if you get hurt - (if you get hurt) - by the little things I say
    I can put that smile back on your face
    Ooh, and

    It's alright and it's coming on, ....

    A love like ours - (a love like ours) - can never fade away
    You know it's only just begun
    You give me your love - (give me your love) - I just can't stay away, no
    I know you are the only one
    Ooh, and

    It's alright and it's coming on, ....

    You give me your love - (give me your love)
    You know I just can't stay away, no
    I know you are my only one
    Ooh, you know

    It's alright and it's coming on, ....
    It's alright and it's coming on, ....
    It's alright and it's coming on, ....

    The Star Still Shines
    Performer(s): Sonny James



    If dark clouds cover your Christmas sky
    If the world around you should seem unkind
    Don't for a single moment let your strong faith die
    Always believe the Star still shines

    And if you would weaken and turn aside
    From the path that seems much too high to climb
    Recall a tiny baby with more love than pride
    Always believe the Star still shines

    The Star still shines, which will lead us home
    The angels sing, you're never, never alone

    And when children hunger out in the cold
    With their tiny hands seeking love to find
    And when fools only worship altars of gold
    Always believe the Star still shines
    Always believe the Star still shines

    Come Again
    Composer(s): David Gates
    Originally performed by: Bread



    Hear - the knock at the door and you know who is there
    you tell yourself you don't care
    Try - you try to pretend you'll just send him away
    you know it won't end that way
    Your heart doesn't stand a chance, your eyes let him know
    And your pride doesn't means a thing - you lost it for him years ago

    Hear - the voice at the door and it makes you afraid
    afraid but you don't know how
    Try - you try to remind him the promise he made
    he doesn't remember now
    The tears welling up inside, are drowning your dreams
    And your chance for another chance, keep leaving with him so it seems

    Time - the friend that would bring him around
    Is turning on you and it's bringing you down

    Love - you tell him you love him and want him to change
    he says that he'll really try
    Hear - how often you hear as he's closing the door
    And softly you say goodbye...
    Come again
    Come again

    Rifugiati Nel Pianto
    French Title: Rentre Chez Toi Et Pleure
    Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Gilbert Bécaud
    Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



    Se ho ferito in te il tuo vivere per me
    Vieni qui, rifugiati nel pianto
    Stai vicino a me e perdonami anche se
    Non dovrei più domandarlo a te
    Non temere mai se l'istinto seguirai
    Vieni qui, rifugiato nel pianto
    Scora se lo puoi quel che è stato tra di noi
    E con me felice tornerai
    Viueni, vieni, e riporta in me
    Il sospiro della vita
    Vieni, vieni non dire più
    Che fra noi è finita
    Non mi dare mai un addio
    Che tu mnon vuoi
    Vieni qui, rifugiati nel pianto
    E ricorda che se tu andassi via da me
    Sarei io a piangere per te

    Star Of The County Down
    ((Adapted from: Gilderoy (Traditional))
    Traditional (Ireland)
    Performer(s): Van Morrison & The Chieftains - 1988
    and multiple other artists



    Near Banbridge town in the County Down
    One morning last July
    Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen
    And she smiled as she passed me by
    She looked so sweet from her two bare feet
    To the sheen of her nut brown hair
    Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
    For to see I was really there

    From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
    And from Galway to Dublin town
    No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
    That I met in the County Down!

    She'd a soft brown eye and a look so sly
    And a smile like the rose in June
    And you hung on each note from her lily-white throat
    As she lilted an Irish tune
    At the pattern dance you were held in a trance
    As she tripped thru a reel or a jig
    And when her eyes she'd roll, she'd coax, on my soul
    A spud from a hungry pig!

    From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
    And from Galway to Dublin town
    No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
    That I met in the County Down!

    I've travelled a bit, but never was hit
    Since my roving career began
    But, fair and square, I surrendered there
    To the charms of young Rosie McAnn!
    With a heart to let, and no tenant yet
    Did I meet in shawl or gown
    But in she went, and I asked no rent
    From the Star of the County Down!

    From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
    And from Galway to Dublin town
    No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
    That I met in the County Down!

    As she onward sped sure I scratched my head
    And I looked with a feeling rare
    And I says, says I, to a passer by
    "Who's the maid with the nut brown hair?"
    He smiled at me and he said, said he
    "That's the gem of Ireland's crown
    Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Ban
    She's the star of the County Down"

    From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
    And from Galway to Dublin town
    No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
    That I met in the County Down!

    At the harvest fair she'll be surely there
    So I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
    With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right
    For a smile from my nut brown Rose
    No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
    Till my plough is a rust coloured brown
    Till a smiling bride by my own fireside
    Sits the star of the County Down

    From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
    And from Galway to Dublin town
    No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
    That I met in the County Down!

    Come A Little Bit Closer
    French Title: C’est Toi Que Je Préfère
    Composer(s): Tommy Boyce; Bobby Hart; Wes Farrell
    Originally performed by: Jay & The Americans
    Covered by various other artists



    In a little café just the other side of the border
    She was just sitting there giving me looks that made my mouth water
    So I started walking her way
    She belonged to bad man, José
    And I knew, yes I knew I should leave
    When I heard her say, yeah

    Come a little bit closer
    You're my kind of man
    So big and so strong
    Come a little bit closer
    I'm all-alone
    And the night is so long

    So we started to dance
    In my arms, she felt so inviting
    That I just couldn't resist
    Just one little kiss so exciting
    Then I heard the guitar player say
    "Vamoose, Jose's on his way"
    Then I knew, yes I knew I should run
    But then I heard her say, yeah

    Come a little bit closer
    You're my kind of man
    So big and so strong
    Come a little bit closer I'm all alone
    And the night is so long

    Then the music stopped
    When I looked the café was empty
    Then I heard José say
    "Man you know you're in trouble plenty"
    So I dropped my drink from my hand
    And through the window I ran
    And as I rode away
    I could hear her say to José, yeah

    Come a little bit closer
    You're my kind of man
    So big and so strong
    Come a little bit closer
    I'm all alone
    And the night is so long

    La la-la-la la-la
    La la-la-la la-la
    Ho ho la-la
    La la la-la
