    Too Late To Turn Back Now
    Composer(s): Eddie Lee Cornelius Jr.
    First release: Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose - 1972



    My mama told me, she said, "Boy, please beware
    There's this thing called love and it's everywhere"
    She tells me, "It can break your heart and leave you in misery"
    Ever since I met this little woman
    I feel it's happening to me, and I'm tellin' you
    It's too late to turn back now
    I believe, I believe, I believe I'm fallin' in love
    Oh, it's too late to turn back now
    I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
    I found myself wanting her at least ten times a day
    You know, it's so unusual for me to carry on this way
    I'm tellin' you
    I can't sleep at night
    I want you to hold me tight
    I've tried so hard to convince myself
    This feeling just can't be right, and I'm tellin' you
    It's too late to turn back now
    I believe, I believe, I believe I'm fallin' in love
    Oh, it's too late to turn back now
    I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
    I wouldn't mind it if I knew she really loved me too
    But I hate to think that I'm in love alone and nothing that I can do
    Whoa
    oh

    It's too late to turn back now
    I believe, I believe, I believe I'm fallin' in love
    Oh, it's too late to turn back now
    I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
    My mama told me, she said, "Son, please beware
    'Bout this thing called love and it's everywhere"
    She told me, "She can break your heart
    Ooh, and put you in misery"
    Since I met this new woman, I do believe it's happening to me
    Let me tell ya
    It's too late to turn back now
    I believe, I believe, I believe I'm fallin' in love
    It's too late to turn back now
    I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
    I find myself wanting her at least ten times a day
    You know, that's so unusual for me to carry on this way
    I tell ya
    I can't sleep at night for wanting to hold her tight
    Ooh, I've tried so hard convincing myself
    This feeling just can't be right
    Let me tell ya
    It's too late to turn back now
    I believe, I believe, I believe I'm fallin' in love
    It's too late to turn back now
    I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
    It's too late, ooh, baby, ooh yeah
    It's too late, baby
    Now I wouldn't mind it not if I knew she loved me too
    I'd hate to think that I'm in love alone
    And there's nothing that I can do
    Whoa, oh
    It's too late to turn back now
    I believe, I believe, I believe I'm fallin' in love
    It's too late to turn back now
    I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
    Ooh baby, I tell you. I believe
    I believe, I believe I'm falling in love

    I Just Can't Help Believin'
    Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil
    First release by: Barry Mann - 1968
    Covered by multiple other artists



    I just can't help believin'
    When she smiles up soft and gentle
    With a trace of misty mornin'
    And the promise of tomorrow in her eye-eyes

    And I just can't help believin'
    When she's lyin' close beside me
    And my heart beats with the rhythm of her si-i-i-ighs

    This time the girl is gonna stay
    This time the girl is gonna stay for more than just a da-ay

    I just can't help believin'
    When she slips her hand in my hand
    And it feels so small and helpless
    That my fingers fold around it like a glo-ove

    And I just can't help believin'
    When she's whisperin' her magic
    And her tears are shinin' honey sweet with lo-o-o-ove

    This time the girl is gonna stay (this time the girl is gonna stay)
    This time the girl is gonna stay for more than just a da-ay

    For more than just a da-a-a-ay

    (Just can't help believin')

    I never thought dreams could happen
    Until one came true for me
    Since I met Judy
    Since I met Judy
    My life has been one sweet melody
    Yeah! Yeah!
    I never thought I could welcome....
    Two other hearts as I do
    Oh...Since I met Judy
    Since I met Judy
    Well it's been a real hip thing I'm telling you
    Oh, saying that I want Judy
    Talking about beauty
    She's got it
    I know she's got it
    Her sweet little ways
    Mean so much to me
    Oh yeah! Oh yeah!
    I'm making mine Judy
    To love her! Got her! Got her! Yeah! Yeah!
    Gonna keep her right here with me
    Yeah! Oh yeah!
    Now I find it hard to believe, that I'm happy
    All my pains and heartaches are all gone
    So glad I can tell the world
    Since I met Judy
    Since I met Judy
    Well my life has been one sweet song
    I won't be worried long
    If you think I'm gonna leave her
    Man, you're wrong
    It's only Judy
    I'm telling you you're wrong
    I love Judy
    I'm crazy about that Judy
    Judy, Judy, Judy!

    Too Late Now
    Composer(s): Burton Lane - Alan Jay Lerner
    First performance: Jane Powell - 1951
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Too late now to forget your smile
    The way we cling when we've danced awhile
    Too late now to forget and go on to someone new

    Too late now to forget your voice
    The way one word makes my heart rejoice
    Too late now to imagine myself away from you

    All the things we've done together
    I relive when we're apart
    All the tender fun together
    Stays on in my heart

    How could I ever close the door
    And be the same as I was before
    Darling, no, no I can't anymore
    It's too late now

    All the things we've done together
    I relive when we're apart
    All the tender fun together
    Stays on in my heart

    How could I ever close the door
    And be the same as I was before
    Darling, no, no I can't anymore
    It's too late now

    Composer(s): Wayne Kemp
    Performer(s): Faron Young



    Well, I didn't come in here to cause you no trouble
    And bartender just forget that glass of beer
    And I'm sorry old buddy that I pulled her from your arms
    But I just came to get my baby out of here

    Would you believe she's never been inside of a tonky tonk
    And would you believe she can't stand the taste of beer
    Well, I just don't know what's come over my baby
    And I just came to get my baby out of here

    Well, I know exactly what you're up to
    'Cause I've been watching what you've been doing from the door
    And I told you once to keep your hands off of her
    And I ain't gonna tell you anymore

    Would you believe she's never been inside of a tonky tonk
    And would you believe she can't stand the taste of beer
    Well, I just don't know what's come over my baby
    And I just came to get my baby out of here...

    Judy, Judy n'est pas jolie
    Judy, Judy celle qu'on oublie
    (Que l'on oublie)
    Dès que la soirée s'achève
    Judy, Judy on te charrie
    Judy, Judy on te marie
    (On te marie)
    Et toujours avec un rêve
    Sous ton rimmel et tes bijoux
    Tu prie Sainte Marilyne Monroe
    D'être une poupée un beau joujou
    Tu peux te plaindre
    Enfin la femme

    Judy, Judy se réfugie
    Judy, Judy dans la magie
    (dans la magie)
    Des flacons si doux à boire
    Judy la nuit
    Fait un songe dérisoire
    Un jour un soir changer de peau
    Avec les pis sur les photos
    À boire encore comme un roseau
    Les yeux tout vides
    Mais pas de rides

    Judy, Judy & Compagnie
    Judy, Judy qu'on sacrifie
    (qu'on sacrifie)
    Contre une poignée de neige
    Pauvre Judy

    Too High
    Composer(s): Paul Bollenback - Stevie Wonder
    First release: Stevie Wonder - 1973
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Dodo do do do dodo
    Do do dodo do dodo
    Dodo dodo do do

    Dodo do do do dodo
    Do do do do dodo do
    Dodo dodo dodo

    I'm too high
    I'm too high
    But I ain't touched the sky

    I'm too high
    I'm too high
    But I ain't touched the sky

    She's a girl in a dream
    She sees a four-eyed cartoon monster
    On the T.V. screen
    She takes another puff and says
    "It's a crazy scene"
    That red is green
    And she's a tangerine

    I'm too high
    I'm too high
    But I ain't left the ground

    I'm too high
    I'm too high
    I hope I never ever come down

    She's the girl in her life
    But her world's a superficial paradise
    She had a chance to make it big more than once or twice
    But no dice
    She wasn't very nice

    Ooh

    Dodo do do do dodo
    Do do dodo do dodo
    Do do do do do do

    Dodo do do do dodo
    Do do dodo do dodo
    Dodo dodo
    Dodo dodo
    Dodo dodo

    I'm too high
    I'm too high
    I'm so high
    I feel like I'm about to die

    I can't ever touch the sky

    I'm too high
    She's a girl of the past
    I guess that I got to her at last
    A did you hear the news about the girl today
    She passed away
    What did her friend say

    They said she's too high
    Too high
    Can't hang around anyway...

    Dodo do do do dodo
    Do do dodo do dodo
    do... do... do...
    do... do... do...
    do...

    Composer(s): Stevie Wonder

    Covered by multiple other artists

    Title In Other Languages:
    1984 - Je T’appelle Pour Te Dire Que Je T’aime
    1984 - Pour Te Dire Je T'aime
    1984 - Ik Bel Jou, M'n Schat, Ik Mis Je



    No New Year's Day to celebrate
    No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
    No first of spring, no song to sing
    In fact, here's just another ordinary day

    I just called to say I love you
    I just called to say how much I care
    I just called to say I love you
    And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

    No April rain, no flowers' bloom
    No wedding Saturday within the month of June
    But what it is is something true
    Made up of these three words that I must say to you

    No summer's high, no warm July
    No harvest moon to light one tender August night
    No autumn breeze, no falling leaves
    Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies

    No Libra sun, no Hallowe'en
    No giving thanks for all the Christmas joy you bring
    But what it is, tho' old, so new
    To fill your heart like no three words could ever do

    Composer(s): Ross MacLean - Arthur Richardson
    Performer(s): Arthur Godfrey - 1947
    and multiple other artists



    Here's a silly ditty
    You can sing it right away
    Now, here is what you say
    So sing it while you may

    Here's a silly jingle
    You can sing it night or noon
    Here's the words, that's all you need
    'Cause I just sang the tune:

    Oh, I don't want her, you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat for me
    I don't want her, you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat
    She's too fat
    She's too fat for me

    I get dizzy
    I get numbo
    When I'm dancing
    With my Jum-Jum-Jumbo

    I don't want her, you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat for me
    I don't want her, you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat
    She's too fat
    She's too fat for me

    Can she prance up a hill?
    No, no, no, no, no
    Can she dance a quadrille?
    No, no, no, no, no
    Does she fit in your coupe?
    By herself she's a group
    Could she possibly
    Sit upon your knee?
    No, no, no

    We don't want her, you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    And she's too fat for me
    But she's just right for me
    We don't want her, you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    Yeah, she's too fat
    Much too fat
    But she's just right for me

    She's so charming
    And she's so winning
    But it's alarming
    When she goes in swimming

    We don't want her, you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat for me
    But she's just right for me
    So I sure want her, you can't have her
    She's just right for me
    But she's too fat!
    She's not too fat!
    She's just right for me!

    She's a twosome
    She's a foursome
    If she'd lose some
    I would like her more some

    I don't want her, you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat for me
    I don't want her you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat
    Much too fat
    She's too fat for me
    Hey!

    Je T’appelle Pour Te Dire Que Je T’aime - 1984 (aka Pour Te Dire Je T'aime - 1984)
    Adapted from: I Just Called To Say I Love You - 1984
    Dutch Title: Ik Bel Jou, M'n Schat, Ik Mis Je
    Composer(s): Didier Barbelivien; Stevie Wonder; Pierre Grosz
    Performer(s): Sacha Distel - 1984



    C'est pas Noël c'est pas le printemps
    Y'a pas de bougies, y'a pas de cadeaux sous les rubans
    Pas de nouvelle sensationnelle
    Aujourd'hui est un jour normal tout simplement
    Y'a pas d'amis qui se marient
    Pas de première, pas de soirée d'anniversaire
    Mais il fallait que je te dise
    Ces quelques mots qui chantent au plus profond de moi

    Je t'appelle pour dire que je t'aime
    Je voulais te dire simplement ça
    Je t'appelle pour dire que je t'aime
    Et je meurs ce soir de m'endormir sans toi

    Y'a pas d'étoiles sur l'océan
    De nuit d'été doucement caressée par le vent
    C'est pas l'automne quand on s'étonne
    D'un tourbillon d'oiseaux dans le soleil levant
    Pas de secret à t'annoncer
    Pas de surprise et pas de chœur dans une église
    Mais il fallait que je te dise
    Ces quelques mots qui chantent au plus profond de moi

    Je t'appelle pour dire que je t'aime
    Je voulais te dire simplement ça
    Je t'appelle pour dire que je t'aime
    Et je meurs ce soir de ne pas être avec toi
    Avec toi, avec toi

    Juca
    Performer(s): Chico Buarque



    Juca foi autuado em flagrante
    Como meliante
    Pois sambava bem diante
    Da janela de Maria
    Bem no meio da alegria
    A noite virou dia
    O seu luar de prata
    Virou chuva fria
    A sua serenata
    Não acordou Maria

    Juca ficou desapontado
    Declarou ao delegado
    Não saber se amor é crime
    Ou se samba é pecado
    Em legítima defesa
    Batucou assim na mesa
    O delegado é bamba
    Na delegacia
    Mas nunca fez samba
    Nunca viu Maria

    Sie sieht neben mir aus oh oh oh oh oh
    Wie ein wandelndes Haus oh oh oh oh oh
    Steh' ich einmal hinter ihr
    Sieht man nichts mehr von mir
    Und für mein Gefühl ist mir das viel zu viel oh oh oh

    Kaum hat er sie geseh'n oh oh oh oh oh
    War es um ihn gescheh'n oh oh oh oh oh
    Ihre mächtige Forma fand er einfach enorm
    Und er bat galant mich um ihre Hand oh oh

    Drum nimm sie dir ich mag sie nicht
    Denn sie ist mir zu fett
    Sie ist mir zu fett
    Sie ist mir zu fett
    Drumm nimm sie dir
    Ich mag sie nicht

    Viel zu fett viel zu fett sie ist mir zu fett

    Und dein Herz schenk' dieser runden Schönen

    Can she prance up a hill? No! No! No! No! No!
    Can she dance a quadrille! No! No! No! No! No!
    Does she fit in my coupe? By herself she's a group
    Could she possibly sit up on my knee? No! No! No! No! No!
    She's too fat for me!

    I don't want her
    You can have her
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat for me
    Oh, I don't want her
    You can have her
    Please do that for me
    She's too fat
    She's too fat
    She's too fat for me

    I get dizzy
    I get numbo
    When I'm dancing with my Jum-Jum-Jumbo
    She's a twosome
    she's a foursome
    She should lose some
    I would like her moresome

    I Hung My Head
    Composer(s): Sting
    First release by: Sting - 1996
    Covered by:
    Blue Highway - 1999
    Johnny Cash - 2002



    Early one morning
    With time to kill
    I borrowed Jebb's rifle
    And sat on a hill
    I saw a lone rider
    Crossing the plain
    I drew a bead on him
    To practice my aim

    My brother's rifle
    Went of in my hand
    A shot rang out
    Across the land
    The horse, he kept running
    The rider was dead
    I hung my head
    I hung my head

    I set off running
    To wake from the dream
    My brother's rifle
    Went into the sheen
    I kept on running
    Into the south lands
    That's where they found me
    My head and my hands

    The sheriff he asked me
    Why had I run
    And then it came to me
    Just what I had done
    And all for no reason
    Just one peace of lead
    I hung my head
    I hung my head

    Here in the court house
    The whole town was there
    I see the judge
    High up in the chair
    Explain to the court room
    What went through you mind
    And we'll ask the jury
    What verdict they find

    I felt the power
    Of death over life
    I orphaned his children
    I widowed his wife
    I begged their forgiveness
    I wish I was dead
    I hung my head
    I hung my head

    I hung my head
    I hung my head

    Early one morning
    With time to kill
    I see the gallows
    Up on a hill
    And out in the distance
    A trick of the brain
    I see a lone rider
    Crossing the plain

    And he'd come to fetch me
    To see what they'd done
    And we'd ride together
    To kingdom come
    I prayed for god's mercy
    For soon I'd be dead
    I hung my head
    I hung my head

    I hung my head
    I hung my head

    Jubilation T. Cornpone
    Composer(s): Gene DePaul; Johnny Mercer
    Performer(s): Stubby Kaye;
    Elliot Lawrence; Shelly Manne



    When we fought the Yankees and annihilation was near
    Who was there to lead the charge that took us safe to the rear?
    Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone
    Old "Toot your own horn - pone"
    Jubilation T. Cornpone, a man who knew no fear!

    When we almost had 'em but the issue still was in doubt
    Who suggested the retreat that turned it into a rout?
    Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone
    Old "Tattered and torn - pone"
    Jubilation T. Cornpone, he kept us hidin' out!

    With our ammunition gone and faced with utter defeat
    Who was it that burned the crops and left us nothing to eat?
    Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone
    Old "September Morn - pone"
    Jubilation T. Cornpone, the pants blown off his seat!

    Hurray!

    When it seemed like our brave boys would keep on fighting for months
    Who took pity on them and ca-pit-u-lated at once?
    Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone; Unshaven and shorn - pone
    Jubilation T. Cornpone, he weren't nobody's dunce!

    Who went re-con-noiter-ing to flank the enemy's rear
    Circled through the piney woods, and disappeared for a year?
    Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone
    Old "Treat 'em with scorn - pone"
    Jubilation T. Cornpone, the missing mountaineer!

    Who became so famous with a reputation so great
    That he ran for president and didn't carry a state?
    Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone
    Old "Wouldn't be sworn - pone"
    Jubilation T. Cornpone, he made the country wait!

    Stonewall Jackson got his name by standing firm in the fray
    Who was known to all his men as good ol' "Paper Mache?"
    Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone

    Too Dumb For New York City
    Composer(s): Waylon Jennings - Basil McDavid
    Performer(s): Waylon Jennings



    When I first saw New York city
    I was green down to the core
    You could see my red neck glowing
    For a mile or maybe more

    Between the hustlers and the hookers
    I must have made their day
    'Cause they peeled me like an apple, Lawd
    And sent me on my way

    When you're pushed and shoved and almost mugged
    It ain't no place to be
    So I came to one conclusion
    New York ain't for me

    From sea to shining sea
    And coast to coast
    Somewhere in the middle
    Is the land I love the most
    I ain't California pretty
    I can't survive the Great White Way
    I'm too dumb for New York city
    And too ugly for L.A.

    I made my way to Tinseltown
    To Hollywood and Vine
    Out among those pretty faces
    I'd surely find a place for mine

    The way I walk, the way I talk
    They'll hang on every word
    But don't call me, I'll call you
    Was all I ever heard

    In L.A. what they're thinking
    Ain't what they talk about
    At least in New York city
    There's never any doubt

    From sea to shining sea
    And coast to coast
    Somewhere in the middle
    Is the land I love the most
    I ain't California pretty
    I can't survive the Great White Way
    I'm too dumb for New York city
    And too ugly for L.A.

    I'm too dumb for New York city
    And too ugly for L.A.

    I Hope You'll Stay
    Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan



    I hope you'll stay and have a cup of tea
    Oh I hope you'll play my monopoly
    And I hope you'll do what the others do
    You say you'd love me to
    Make that cup of tea like I said I would
    Make that cup of tea like I know I should
    And not to think what the others think
    So that when you say you like me
    I'll be so overjoyed
    I'll take the unemployed
    I'll give them all a job
    They sure could use one, my God!
    Isn't it funny, no
    A million out of work is really so good for nothing
    When you think that there should be jobs by the dozen
    But as often is the case
    Nothing ever seems to take place
    And not to think what the others think
    So that when I say I like you
    You'll say you like me too
    You'll say you like me tooaa
    That's all

    Composer(s): Gram Parsons; Chris Hillman
    Performer(s): The Flying Burrito Brothers



    No affection were the words
    That stuck on my mind
    When she walked out on me
    For the very last time
    Oh, mama, sweet mama
    Can you tell me what to say
    I don't know what I've done
    To be treated this way

    In a cold dirty room
    That's where I found myself
    With a bottle of wine
    And some pills on the shelf
    Oh, mama, sweet mama
    Can you tell me what to say
    I don't know what I've done
    And I'm feeling so ashamed

    Then an angel appeared
    She was just seventeen
    In a dirty old gown
    With a conscience so clean
    Oh, mama, sweet mama
    Can you tell me what to say
    She's brought back the life
    That I once threw away
    She's brought back the life
    That I once threw away

    Too Drunk To Fish
    Composer(s): C.W. Kalb Jr. - Glenn Fortner
    Performer(s): Ray Stevens



    Recitation
    Now me and Harold this buddy of mine decided that we'd go fishin' one time
    So we drove to the lake with my brand new bass boat
    I brought the fishin' poles the pork and beans
    The saltine crackers and the canned sardines, and Harold brought all the booze one man could tote
    While I loaded the boat and filled the tank and tried to get that motor to crank
    Harold just sat there sippin' on a longneck beer
    While I was steerin' the boat and tyin' the plugs he was drinkin' moonshine straight from the jug
    and he was singing "Melancholy Baby" when we left the pier, huh, huh...

    Oh, never go fishin' with a man who has been drinkin'
    'Cause things just might not work out like you'd wish
    Just leave that fool at home to drink
    He'll be just as happy fishin' in the kitchen sink
    Don't go near the water with a man too drunk to fish

    Recitation
    Well, I was concentratin', perfectin' my cast, hopin' to land a trophy bass
    and Harold was havin' trouble tryin' to find the lake
    Layin' there beside him at his feet was an anchor line coiled up real neat
    Harold saw it went white as a ghost and hollered "Snake!!!!!!"
    Well, he jumped straight up and began to yell
    I said "Sit down Harold and behave yourself
    Can't you see that ain't nothin' but a piece of rope"
    Ha, ha...
    Well, he was scared to death, plumb out of his mind tryin' not to get bit by that anchor line
    and he grabbed my shotgun blew a hole in the bottom of the boat...
    (Blam!!! Harold!!! Glup... glub... glub)

    Never go fishin' with a man who has been drinkin'
    'Cause things just might not work out like you'd wish
    Just leave that fool at home to drink
    He'll be just as happy fishin' in the kitchen sink
    Don't go near the water with a man too drunk to fish

    Recitation
    Now too drunk to fish is too drunk to swim
    So I was dog paddlin' and draggin' him and finally made it to a little sand bar just big enough for two
    It was way after dark when that helicopter came with that big searchlight and callin' our names
    And Harold looked up to the sky and said, "Lord is that you?"

    Slowly
    And then he knelt there in that heavenly glow and said
    "Lord you know I ain't ready to go so if you pass me by tonight, oh... I will reform"
    Then they threw down a raft and I paddled us home he never touched a drop from that moment on
    Ya know the Lord works in mysterious ways his miracles to perform

    Never go fishin' with a man who has been drinkin'
    'Cause things just might not work out like you'd wish
    Just leave that fool at home to drink
    He'll be just as happy fishin' in the kitchen sink
    Don't go near the water with a man too drunk to fish
    Don't go near the water with a man too drunk to fish...

    I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You
    Composer(s): Tom Waits
    First release by: Tom Waits - 1973
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Well I hope that I don't fall in love with you
    'Cause falling in love just makes me blue
    Well the music plays and you display your heart for me to see
    I had a beer and now I hear you calling out for me
    And I hope that I don't fall in love with you

    Well the room is crowded, people everywhere
    And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?
    Well if you sit down with this old clown, take that frown and break it
    Before the evening's gone away, I think that we could make it
    And I hope that I don't fall in love with you

    Well the night does funny things inside a man
    These old tom-cat feelings you don't understand
    Well I turn around to look at you, you light a cigarette
    I wish I had the guts to bum one, but we've never met
    And I hope that I don't fall in love with you

    I can see that you are lonesome just like me, and it being late
    You'd like some some company
    Well I turn around to look at you, and you look back at me
    The guy you're with has up and split, the chair next to you's free
    And I hope that you don't fall in love with me

    Now it's closing time, the music's fading out
    Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout
    Well I turn around to look at you, you're nowhere to be found
    I search the place for your lost face, guess I'll have another round
    And I think that I just fell in love with you
