(Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never comin' 'round (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes (Turn around, bright eyes) Every now and then I fall apart (Turn around, bright eyes) Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit helpless and I'm lyin' like a child in your arms (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes (Turn around, bright eyes) Every now and then I fall apart (Turn around, bright eyes) Every now and then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight, and I need you more than ever And if you'll only hold me tight, we'll be holding on forever And we'll only be making it right, 'cause we'll never be wrong Together we can take it to the end of the line Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time) I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark We're livin' in a powder keg and givin' off sparks
I really need you tonight Forever's gonna start tonight Forever's gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love but now I'm only falling apart There's nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart Once upon a time there was light in my life but now there's only love in the dark Nothing I can say, a total eclipse of the heart
(Turn around) Every now and then I know you'll never be the boy you always wanted to be (Turn around) But every now and then I know you'll always be the only boy who wanted me the way that I am (Turn around) Every now and then I know there's no one in the universe as magical and wondrous as you (Turn around) Every now and then I know there's nothing any better, there's nothing that I just wouldn't do (Turn around, bright eyes) Every now and then I fall apart (Turn around, bright eyes) Every now and then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight, and I need you more than ever And if you'll only hold me tight, we'll be holding on forever And we'll only be making it right, 'cause we'll never be wrong Together we can take it to the end of the line Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time) I don't know what to do, I'm always in the dark We're livin' in a powder keg and givin' off sparks
I really need you tonight Forever's gonna start tonight Forever's gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love but now I'm only falling apart Nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart Once upon a time there was light in my life but now there's only love in the dark Nothing I can say, a total eclipse of the heart A total eclipse of the heart A total eclipse of the heart (Turn around, bright eyes) (Turn around, bright eyes, turn around) (Ooo-oo oo-hoo) (Ah-ha, ah-ha) (Ah-ha, ah-ha) (Hooo oo-hooo)
I Like Men! Composer(s): Peggy Lee; Jack Marshall Performer(s): Peggy Lee
Maybe he has sandy hair Or maybe his eyes are brown or blue Maybe he has a fault or two But I like men
Maybe he's a millionaire or maybe he's poor I just don't care Why he can even lose his hair 'Cause I like men
I like the masculine I like the mind I like any other kind that I can find
So the way I feel It's not hard to decide I'll take Southern hospitality or Northern Pride And if has a gentle way Then maybe he'll make me feel so frail Well that's my favorite kind of male 'Cause I like men
Ridin' down a highway in my ragged Greyhound bus Wanted to buy me some food
but my money didn't have enough No time for foolin' around I had to go an' do a show So I edged it off the highway at a 7-11 store
I bought junk food I bought me some junk food I bought some junk food I bought some junk food I bought me some junk food, junk food Lord, Lord, Lord
I bought a long hot dog Wasn't no steak dinner but I ate just the same Wasn't no hamburger, I didn't stop at Burger King It wasn't no Fat Mac, and it wasn't no barbecue It wasn't no collard greens, I tell ya but plain old junk food
I was eatin' junk food I was eatin' this junk food I was eatin' some junk food I was eatin' this junk food I was eatin' junk food, junk food Lord, Lord, Lord
I ate a foot long dog
I hate this junk food It's bad for my health But I'm playin' these lousy blues An' I can't afford nothin' else Never made too much money So that's all I've got to eat Them Polish hot dog and I buy 'em on Maxwell Street1
Got to eat junk food I got to eat junk food I got to eat junk food I got to eat junk food I got to eat junk food, junk food Woo Woo Wee
Tôt ou tard s'en aller Par les ruisseaux devant nous Jusqu'au milieu d'une mer quelconque Sur le pont brisé d'une jonque On va tôt ou tard s'en aller Quelques vestes froissées Quelques cartons en morceaux Dans les brouillards huileux de la nuit Juste nos corps frileux endormis Sur quelques vestes froissées J'avais des rêves pourtant J'avais des rêves J'avais des rêves pourtant Voir les trains s'éloigner Les plafonds chargés de bijoux Et tous ces gens attablés, heureux Et nous, sur les bas-côtés, fiévreux De voir les trains s'éloigner Quelquefois les enfants demandent Comment fait-on pour finir ici Sans doute, je dormais sur une feuille Et l'automne m'a surpris! J'avais des rêves pourtant J'avais des rêves J'avais des rêves pourtant Mais tôt ou tard s'en aller Par les ruisseaux devant nous Jusqu'au milieu d'une mer quelconque Sur le pont brisé d'une jonque On va tôt ou tard s'en aller Tôt ou tard s'en aller Tôt ou tard s'en aller

Tossing And Turning Composer(s): John Carter - Ken Lewis - Perry Ford First release: The Ivy League - 1965
Versions In Other Languages: 1965 - Öisin Vain Valvon (Johnny & The Sounds) 1967 - Anche Se Mi Vuoi (Le Anime)
I can't sleep at night, tossing and turning I turn on the light, then while it's burning I think of all the things that we do And all the reasons why I love you Tossing and turning Ah tossing and turning all night
In my memory there is confusion Was that you and me or an illusion? Was I really holding you tight? Did I really kiss you goodnight? Tossing and turning Ah tossing and turning all night
What you're gonna do at night Nobody to hold you tight are you're lonely Don't you know that I get lonely too And I'm blaming you
When we meet again, maybe tomorrow You will smile and then goodbye the sorrow We'll be lovers just as before I guess I'll never sleep anymore Tossing and turning Ah tossing and turning all night
I Like It Composer(s): Mitch Murray First release by: Gerry & The Pacemakers - 1963
I like it, I like it I like the way you run your fingers through my hair And I like the way you tickle my chin And I like the way you let me come in When your mama ain't there
I like it, I like it I like the words you say and all the things you do And I like the way you straighten my tie And I like the way you're winkin' your eye And I know I like you You know I like you
Do that again You're driving me insane Kiss me once more That's another thing I like you for
I like it, I like it I like the funny feeling being here with you And I like it more with every day And I like it always hearing you say You're likin' it too You're likin' it too
I'm askin' you What do you wanna do Do you agree That the world was made for you and me
I like it, I like it I like the funny feeling being here with you And I like it more with every day And I like it always hearing you say You're likin' it too You're likin' it too Whoa-oh, I like it Are you likin' it too
I Like Dreamin' Composer(s): Bob Crewe; Kenny Nolan Performer(s): Kenny Nolan
I like dreamin' 'cause dreamin' can make you mine I like dreamin', closing my eyes and feeling fine When the lights go down, I'm holding you so tight Got you in my arms and it's paradise 'til the morning light
I see us on the shore beneath the bright sunshine We've walked along St. Thomas beach a million times Hand in hand, two barefoot lovers kissing in the sand Side by side, the tide rolls in I'm touching you, you're touching me If only it could be
I like dreamin' 'cause dreamin' can make you mine I like dreamin', closing my eyes and feeling fine When the lights go down, I'm holding you so tight Got you in my arms and it's paradise 'til the morning light
Through each dream how our love has grown I see us with our children and our happy home Little smiles, so warm and tender looking up at us Blessed by love, the world we share Until I wake and reach for you And you're just not there
I like dreamin' 'cause dreaming can make you mine I like holding you close and touching your skin Even if it's in my mind Oh, sweet dream baby, I love you Oh, my sweet dream baby, you're in my dreams every night
Junior's Farm Composer(s): Paul McCartney; Linda McCartney Performer(s): Paul McCartney & Wings; Galactic Cowboys; Lee Harvey Oswald Band; The Wynners
You should have seen me with the poker man I had a honey and I bet a grand Just in the nick of time I looked at his hand I was talking to an Eskimo Said he was hoping for a fall of snow When up popped a sea lion ready to go
Chorus Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go Down to Junior's Farm where I wanna lay low Low life, high life, oh let's go Take me down to Junior's Farm
At the Houses of Parliament Ev'rybody's talking 'bout the President We all chip in for a bag of cement Ollie Hardy should have had more sense He bought a gee-gee and he jumped the fence All for the sake of a couple of pence
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go Down to Junior's Farm where I wanna lay low Low life, high life, oh let's go Take me down to Junior's Farm Let's go, let's go Down to Junior's Farm where I wanna lay low Low life, high life, oh let's go Take me down to Junior's Farm Everybody tag along
I took my bag into a grocer's store The price is higher than the time before Old man asked me "Why is it more?" I said "You should have seem me with the poker man I had a honey and I bet a grand Just in the nick of time I looked at his hand
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go Down to Junior's Farm where I wanna lay low Low life, high life, oh let's go Take me down to Junior's Farm

Baby, Baby You did something to me...
I couldn't sleep at all last night Just a thinking of you... Baby things weren't right Well I was tossin' and turning Turning and tossin' Toss and turn all night...
I kicked the blankets on the floor Turned my pillow upside down... I never never did before... Because I was tossin' and turning Turning and tossin' Toss and turn all night...
Jumped out of bed... Turned on the light Pulled down the shade Went to the kitchen for a bite...
Rolled up the shade Turned off the light I jumped back into bed It was the middle of the night...
The clock downstairs was striking 4 Couldn't get you off my mind... I heard the milkman at the door... 'Cause I was tossin' and turning Turning and tossin' Toss and turn all night...
Jumped out of bed... Turned on the light Pulled down the shade Went to the kitchen for a bite...
Rolled up the shade Turned off the light I jumped back into bed It was the middle of the night...
The clock downstairs was striking 4 Couldn't get you off my mind... I heard the milkman at the door... 'Cause I was tossin' and turning Turning and tossin' Toss and turn all night...

Junior Prom Composer(s): Steve Allen Performer(s): Joni James; Steve Allen
Waltz me around with my feet off the ground
at the junior prom While we are swaying the orchestra's playing our song Hold me politely but ever so tightly while lights are low I can't recall a more wonderful prom with a ball
Moments so sweet we can never repeat at a junior prom And while we dance we may find there's romance in the air Dad will be mad if he finds that I'm getting with every Dick, Harry or Tom But gee it's a wonderful world at the junior prom
Waltz me around with my feet off the ground at the junior prom And while we dance we may find there's romance in the air Dad will be mad if he finds that I'm getting with every Dick, Harry or Tom But gee it's a wonderful world at the junior prom At the junior prom
Torture Composer(s): Jackie Jackson - Kathy Wakefield Performer(s): The Jacksons
It was on the street so evil So bad that even Hell disowned it! Every single step was trouble For the fool who stumbled on it Eyes within the dark were watchin' I felt that sudden chill of danger Something told me to keep on walkin' Told me I should not have gone there
Baby, because you cut me like a knife Without your love in my life I'm out, I'm walkin' the night 'cause I just canmt stop this feelin' It's torture, it's torture, it's torture
She was up a stair to nowhere A room forever I'll remember She said as though I should have known her Tell me, what's your pain or pleasure? Every little thing you find here Is simply for the thrill you're after Loneliness or hearts on fire I am here to serve all masters
She said Reality is a knife When there's no love in your life Unmerciful is the night When you just can't stop this feelin' It's torture, it's torture, it's torture
And I still can't find the meaning, no! No, no--ooh!--of the face I keep on seeing Was she real or am I dreaming? Did the sound of your name turn a wheel Strike a flame in me? A-hooo-hoo!
Baby, because you cut me like a knife Without your love in my life I'm out, I'm walkin' the night And I just can't stop this feeling! It's torture, it's torture, it's torture
She said Reality is a knife When there's no love in your life Unmerciful is the night When you just can't stop this feelin' It's torture, it's torture, it's torture
Will you call my name? It's torture! Spread it from a flame It's torture! Will you call my name? It's torture! Hey...
I Like Chinese Composer(s): Eric Idle Performer(s): Monty Python
The world today seems absolutely crackers With nuclear bombs to blow us all sky high There are fools and idiots sitting on the trigger It's depressing, and it's senseless, and that's why...
I like Chinese I like Chinese They only come up to your knees Yet they're always friendly and they're ready to please
I like Chinese I like Chinese There's nine hundred million of them in the world today You'd better learn to like them, that's what I say
I like Chinese I like Chinese They come from a long way overseas But they're cute and they're cuddly, and they're ready to please
I like chinese food The waiters never are rude Think of the many things they've done to impress There's Maoism, Taoism, I Ching and chess
So I like Chinese I like Chinese I like their tiny little trees Their Zen, their ping-pong, their yin and yang-ese
I like Chinese thought The wisdom that Confucius taught If Darwin is anything to shout about The Chinese will survive us all without any doubt
So I like Chinese I like Chinese They only come up to your knees Yet they're wise and they're witty, and they're ready to please
wo ai Zhongguo ren wo ai Zhongguo ren wo ai Zhongguo ren ni hao ma ni hao ma ni hao ma zai jian
I like Chinese I like Chinese Their food is guaranteed to please A fourteen, a seven, a nine and lychees
I like Chinese I like Chinese I like their tiny little trees Their Zen, their ping-pong, their yin and yang-ese

I Like Beer Composer(s): Tom T. Hall Performer(s): Tom T. Hall and multiple other artists
In some of my songs I have casually mentioned The fact that I like to drink beer But this little song is more to the point so roll out the barrel and lend me your ear
I like beer It makes me a jolly good fellow I like beer It helps me unwind and sometime it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow)
Whiskeys too rough Champaign cost too much Vodka puts my mouth in gear This little refrain should help me explain As a matter of fact I like beer (He likes beer)
My wife often frowns when we're out on the town I'm wearing a suit and a tie She's sipping vermouth and she thinks I'm uncouth When I yell as the waiter goes by
I like beer It makes me a jolly good fellow I like beer It helps me unwind and sometime it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow)
Last night I dreamed that I'd passed from the scene And I went to a place so sublime All water was clear and it tasted like beer Then they turned it all into wine (awww)
I like beer It makes me a jolly good fellow I like beer It helps me unwind and sometime it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow)
Jungman Jansson Composer(s): Dan Andersson Performer(s): Thorstein Bergman
Hej å hå jungman Jansson, redan friskar morgonvinden sista natten rullat undan, och Constantia ska´ gå Har du gråtit med din Stina, har du kysst din mor på kinden har du druckit ur ditt brännvin så sjung hej å hå!
Hej å hå, jungman Jansson, är du rädd din lilla snärta ska bedraga dej, bedraga dej och för en annan slå? Och som morgonstjärnor blinka, säj, så bultar väl ditt hjärta vänd din näsa rätt mot stormen och sjung hej å hå!
Hej å hå, jungman Jansson, kanske ödeslotten faller ej bland kvinnfolk, men bland hajarna i Söderhaven blå? Kanske döden står och lurar bakom trasiga koraller han är hårdhänt, men hederlig, så sjung hej å hå!
Kanske sitter du som gammal på en farm i Alabama medan åren siktas långsamt över tinningarna grå Kanske glömmer du din Stina för en sup i Jokohama det är slarvigt, med mänskligt, så sjung hej å hå!
Bebías coñac de noche en Madrid en el Palace perdida, mi flor, perdida mi niña encantada No debí intentar, no debí pensar, no debí olvidarme que el pasado irrumpe sin protección y sin presentarse sentías piedad, el blues de mis ojos perdidos que extraño mi amor, no se que pasó en el camino
La feliciad fue un lugar hermoso que hicimos juntos Torre de cristal, cielo protector fuera de este mundo Es la misma canción que cuando éramos pibes nos hacía ilusión
Igual el tiempo ya pasó, ya basta de llorar que esta saliendo el sol no debí intentar, no debí pensar, no debí marcharme que el pasado irrumpe sin protección y sin presentarse Es la misma canción que cuando éramos pibes nos hacía ilusión Igual el tiempo ya pasó ya basta de llorar que esta saliendo el sol
