Come On Children, Let's Sing
Composer(s): Harriet E. Smith
Performer(s): Mahalia Jackson; Lillian Boutte



Come on children, let's sing
About the goodness of the Lord
Come on children, let's shout
All about God's great (rich) reward
Guide our footsteps everyday
Keeps us in this narrow way
Come on children let sing
(Come on children, let's shout)
(How the Lord Almighty)
(Has brought us out)
(There's none like him)
(Without a doubt)
Come on children, let's sing
About the goodness of the Lord

He has been my all an' all
He will never let me fall
That is why I can sing
That is why I can shout
Because I know what it's all about
The goodness, goodness
Of the Lord, the Lord, the Lord
(repeat chorus)

Rise And Shine
Composer(s): Carl Perkins
Performer(s): Carl Perkins



Little children do not worry
Oh, you still got lot's o' time
There's no need in walkin' backwards
Turn around and rise and shine
'Cause the good Lord said he loves you
And through him new strength you'll find
And even though the world may use you
Get up now, go rise and shine

Rise and shine early mornin'
Shine your light all through the day
Makes no difference how they treat you
Stand right up and have your say
'Cause the good Lord said he loves you
And through him new strength you'll find
And even though the world may use you
Get up now, go rise and shine

Look at how they done poor Jesus
Why, they nailed him to the cross
When he died out there on Calvary
So the world would not be lost
So no matter how they treat you
If they slap you in your face
Just remember Jesus loves you
And all because he took your place

Shine early mornin'
Shine your light all through the day
Makes no difference how they treat you
Stand right up and have your say
'Cause the good Lord said he loves you
And through him new strength you'll find
And even though the world may use you
Get up now, go rise and shine

Look at how they done poor Lazarus
When he begged for the rich man's crumbs
But the rich man, high and mighty
He refused and gave him none
Now he's placed himself with Jesus
In that large house up above
'Cause the good book plainly tells us
Lazarus learned to live on love

Rise and shine ev'ry mornin'
Shine your light all through the day
Makes no difference how they treat you
Stand right up and have your say
'Cause the good Lord said he loves you
And through him new strength you'll find
And even though the world may use you
Get up now, go rise and shine

Rise and shine into the mornin'
Shine your light all through the day
Makes no difference how they treat you
Stand by and have your say
'Cause the good Lord said he loves you
And through him new strength you'll find
And even though the world may use you
Get up now, go rise and shine.......

Everything is wrong since me and my baby parted
All day long I'm walkin 'cause I couldn't get my car started
Laid off from my job and I can't afford to check it

Come on, since me and my baby parted

I wish somebody'd come along and run into it and wreck it

Risas Y Lagrimas
Composer(s): Pomar
Performer(s): Raphael



Tu boca, tu boca de rosa
Con ansias de felicidad
Sonriente, primorosa
Cuentan los mas bellos sueños de tu corazon

Tus ojos, tus ojos de cielo
Los he visto llorar
Son tus risas, son tus lagrimas
De amor, de amor, de amor

Mil recuerdos despiertan en mi
Tu ansiedad, tu frenesi
Pues yo tambien el amor senti
Y de tanto amar, llore y rei

Tu cara, tu cara de novia
Un buen dia estara
Tan radiante, tan hermosa
Que tus risas y lagrimas sean de felicidad

Come Monday

Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett
and various other artists



Headin' up to San Francisco
for the Labor Day weekend show
I've got my hush-puppies on
I guess I never was meant for 
glitter rock and roll
And honey I didn't know 
that I'd be missin' so

Come Monday It'll be all right
Come Monday I'll be holding you tight
I spent four lonely days in a brown L.A. haze
and I just want you back by my side

Yes it's been quite a summer
rent-a-cars and west bound trains
And now your off on vacation
somethin' you tried to explain
And darlin' I love you so that's
the reason I just let you go

Come Monday It'll be all right
Come Monday I'll be holding you tight
I spent four lonely days in a brown L.A. haze
and I just want you back by my side

I can't help it honey
your that much a part of me now
Remember the night in Montana when
we said there'd be no room for doubt

I hope your enjoyin' the scen'ry
I know that it's pretty up there
We can go hikin on Tuesday
with you I'd walk anywhere
California has worn me quite thin
I just can't wait to see you again

Riptide
Composer(s): Walter Donaldson; Gus Kahn
Performer(s): Al Bowlly;
and various other artists



Riptide, caught in a riptide
Torn between two loves, the old and the new
Riptide, lost in a riptide
Where will it take me, what shall I do?

My heart is tossed on a sea of emotion
One love offers romance, the other devotion
A new love is calling, the old love is bleeding
I’m caught in a riptide, what shall I do?

The Teddy Bear's Picnic
Composer(s): Jimmy Kennedy - John W. Bratton
Performer(s): Henry Hall & His Orch.
and multiple other artists



If you go down to the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise
If you go down to the woods today
You'd better go in disguise

For ev'ry bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic

Ev'ry teddy bear who's been good
Is sure of a treat today
There's lots of marvelous things to eat
And wonderful games to play

Beneath the trees where nobody sees
They'll hide and seek as long as they please
'Cause that's the way the teddy bears have their picnic

If you go down to the woods today
You'd better not go alone
It's lovely down in the woods today
But safer to stay at home

For ev'ry bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic

Picnic time for teddy bears
The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today
Watch them, catch them unawares
And see them picnic on their holiday

See them gaily gad about
They love to play and shout
They never have any care

At six o'clock their mummies and daddies
Will take them home to bed
Because they're tired little teddy bears

Come Live With Me

Performer(s): Roy Clark

Come live with me and be my love
Share my bread and wine
Be wife to me, be life to me, be mine
Come live with me and be my love
Let our dreams combine
Be mate to me, be fate to me, be mine

With these hands I’ll build a roof
To shield your head
And with these hands
I’ll carve the wood for a baby bed

Come live with me and be my love
Share my bread and wine
Be part of me, the heart of me, be mine
I’ll try to do my best for you
I’ll promise you
I’ll laugh with you, I’ll cry with you, my whole life through

Come live with me and be my love
Share my bread and wine
Be part of me, the heart of me, be mine....

Ripple
Composer(s): Jerry Garcia; Robert Hunter
Performer(s): Grateful Dead;
and various other artists



If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come thru the music
Would you hold it near as it were your own?

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they're better left unsung
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air

Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of men

There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone

Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow

But if you fall you fall alone
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home

La dee da da da, La da da da da, Da da da, Da da, Da da da da da
La da da da, La da da, Da da, La da da da, La da, Da da

The Tears Of A Clown
Composer(s): Stevie Wonder - Smokey Robinson - Henry Cosby
First release by: Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



Now if there's a smile on my face 
It's only there trying to fool the public 
But when it comes down to fooling you 
Now honey that's quite a different subject

But don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Cos really I'm sad, Oh I'm sadder than sad
Well I'm hurt and I want you so bad
Like a clown I appear to be glad ooh yeah

Well they're some sad things known to man 
But ain't too much sadder than
The tears of a clown when there's noone around
Oh yeah, baby baby, oh yeah baby baby

Now if I appear to be carefree
It's only to camouflage my sadness
And honey to shield my pride I try
To cover this hurt with a show of gladness
But don't let my show convince you
That I've been happy since you
Cos I need to go, oh I need you so
Look I'm hurt and I want you to know
For others I put on a show...

Well they're some sad things known to man 
But ain't too much sadder than
The tears of a clown when there's noone around
Oh yeah, baby baby, oh yeah baby baby

Just like Pagliacci did
I try to keep my surface hid
Smiling in the crowd I try
But in a lonely room I cry
The tears of a clown
When there's noone around, oh yeah, baby baby
Now if there's a smile on my face
Don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Don't let this smile I wear
Make you think that I don't care
Cos really I'm sad...

Rip Off
Composer(s): Marc Bolan
Performer(s): T. Rex;
and various other artists



In the moonlight
Fighting with the night
It's a rip-off

Kissing all the slain
I'm bleeding in the rain
It's a rip-off

Such a rip-off

Rocking in the nude
I'm feeling such a dude
It's a rip-off

Dancing in the dark
With the tramps in the park
It's a rip-off

Such a rip-off

See your baby's stud
Sliding in my mud
It's a rip-off

Bleached on the beach
I want to tickle your peach
It's a rip-off

See the girl dance
In her man-skin pants
It's a rip-off

Terraplane Tommy
Wants to bang your gong
It's a rip-off

Such a rip-off

Gypsy girl's good
People treat her like a fool
She's a rip-off

The President's weird
He's got a burgundy beard
It's a rip-off

Such a rip-off

I'm the King of the Highway
I'm the Queen of the Hop
You should see me
At the Governor's Ball
Doing the Rip-Off Bop

I'm a social person
I'm the creature in disguise
There's a man with a whip
On his silver hip
Living inside my eyes

I'm the cat from the alley
I'm the fleet-foot voodoo man
There's very little that's ever said
All of which I understand

Caught like a skunk
In space and time
It's a rip-off

If it's hers
Well it must be mine
It's a rip-off

Such a rip-off

Dancing in the nude
Feeling such a dude
It's a rip-off

Mountains of the moon
Remind me of a spoon
It's a rip-off

Such a rip-off

Bleached on the beach
I want to tickle your peach
It's a rip-off

See the girl dance
In her man-skin pants
It's a rip-off

Dog Named Jim
Composer(s): Richard Pryor
Performer(s): Stinter



I once had a dog and his name was Jim
And he went around the house hiding things
He hid my old brown shoe and he hid it well
And where he put it I could not tell

Oh no... Jim you shouldn't hide these things you know

Well Jim got mad and he ran away
He ran from the house one dark day
He hid in an old brown shack, it hid him well
And where he went I could not tell

Oh no... Jim you shouldn't hide away you know

Jim, don't leave me alone...
Don't leave from your home...
Where's your bone?

I had a little dog and his name was Jim
And I never found out what happened to him
Maybe he's buried in an old brown box
But what I want to know is where's my socks?

Jim you shouldn't hide these things you know...

The Tattooed Lady
Composer(s): O'Keefe
Performer(s): Billy Cotton



I just heard a story that rings in my ears
It's one of the saddest a soul ever hears
To think of it makes me break out into tears
It deals with a man and his mate
Mother Eve in the Garden of Eden
Heard the serpent the same as the lass
And this girl might have turned from temptation
Except for a terrible snake in the grass

Oh, shame on the man who pursued her
The villain who viciously wooed her
She fell in a faint, so he pulled out his paint
And the first thing she knew, he'd tattooed her

Her downfall began as an innocent thing
Her husband went off to go fishing one spring
So she joined her girl friends to go on a fling
They all went to bathe on the beach
Then this artist came up with his paint pot
And his needle to toy mit her calf
She allowed him to tinker, he painted a fiend
Who was sawing a woman in half

Oh, shame on the man who pursued her
The villain who viciously wooed her
She fell in a faint, so he pulled out his paint
And the first thing she knew, he'd tattooed her

The girl wasn't bright, and the fellow was smart
And now that he'd made such a favourable start
He made her believe she was helping his art
They met every day after that

Never once did she think that he loved her
Nor did she think that he'd do her harm
Till the day that he tattooed in red, white and blue
And he wrote "I love you" on her arm

Oh, shame on the man who pursued her
The villain who viciously wooed her
She fell in a faint, so he pulled out his paint
And the first thing she knew, he'd tattooed her

Her husband come home and they instantly kissed
His eyes read the writing from elbow to wrist
He foamed at the mouth and eventually hissed
His rage drove him blinkin' well barmy
She was hurt by his attitude deeply
And hysterically started to laugh
So she pulled down her stocking and showed him the beast
Who was sawing a woman in half

Oh, shame on the man who pursued her
The villain what viciously wooed her
She fell in a faint, so he pulled out his paint
And the first thing she knew, he'd tattooed her

No chance did she have to explain things, for then
He yelled, "Never dampen my bath-mat again"
So now she gets tattooed whenever she can
She works in a circus for pay
And her soft epidermis is painted
With the pictures of sailors and such
And if you have a needle you too can tattoo
On the skin that they all love to touch

Oh, shame on the man who pursued her
The villain who viciously wooed her
She fell in a faint, so he pulled out his paint
And the first thing she knew, he'd tattooed her

Come Inside
Composer(s): Tom Bailey; Alannah Carrie
Performer(s): Thompson Twins



I can't find my way out of this place
I'm crawling on the floor
If the party's over, why won't you tell me?
I don't see you dancing any more

Well when all the doors are open wide
I'll be yours and maybe you'll be mine
So close your eyes; kiss the sky
The door is open won't ya come inside

Well can you hear the wind? It's telling lies
It happens all the time
Can you see the faces, seraphim eyes
They make me want to cry

Well when all the doors are open wide
I'll be yours and maybe you'll be mine
So close your eyes; kiss the sky
The door is open won't ya come inside

Come inside, come inside

Well, I could dive in deep or float on by
It doesn't matter to me, no
'Cos one way or another
I'm gonna get myself right out of this dream

Well when all the doors are open wide
I'll be yours and maybe you'll be mine
So close your eyes; kiss the sky
The door is open won't ya come inside

Well when all the doors are open wide
I'll be yours and maybe you'll be mine
So close your eyes; kiss the sky
The door is open won't ya come inside

When all the doors are open wide
I'll be yours and maybe you'll be mine
So cover your eyes; kiss the sky
The door is open, so come inside
