Buona Sera
Composer(s): Peter de Rose; Carl Sigman
Originally performed by: Louis Prima
Covered by various other artists



Buona sera signorina buona sera
It is time to say goodnight to Napoli
Though it's hard for us to whisper buona sera
With that old moon above the Mediterranean sea
In the morning signorina we'll go walking
Where the mountains help the moon come in to sight
And by the little jewelry shop we'll stop and linger
In the meantime let me tell you that I love you
Buona sera signorina kiss me goodnight
Buona sera signorina kiss me goodnight

(Buona sera signorina buona sera)
(It is time to say goodnight to Napoli)
Though it's hard for us to whisper buona sera
With that old moon above the Mediterranean sea

In the morning signorina we'll go walking
Where the mountains help the moon come in to sight
And by the little jewelry shop we'll stop and linger
In the meantime let me tell you that I love you
Buona sera signorina kiss me goodnight
Buona sera signorina kiss me goodnight

Composer(s): Bill Hayes - Bill Howard - Betty Mackey
Performer(s): Nat Stukey
and multiple other artists



Been pushin' that diesel since early dawn
Ain't had no sleep, don't know how long
Whole lotta trouble makin' them curves
I gotta have a little somethin' to settle my nerves

Well, hey little waitress, make my coffee strong
A pack of king size filters and a country song
Little box of whiteys help pick me up
Caffeine, nicotine, benzedrine, wish me luck

Rollin' down the highway with the heavy eyes
I saw a lit up billboard that you advertised
Everything for a trucker, lots o' parking space
And the sign out front says this here is the place

Well, hey little waitress, make my coffee strong
A pack of king size filters and a country song
Little box of whiteys help pick me up
Caffeine, nicotine, benzedrine, wish me luck

Well I got hungover, I left Chicago late
And the big boss man he don't like to wait
Memphis in the mornin', gotta burn the wind
And I ain't gonna make it in the shape I'm in

Well, hey little waitress, make my coffee strong
A pack of king size filters and a country song
Little box of whiteys help pick me up
Caffeine, nicotine, benzedrine, wish me luck

I got an ol' slouch hat
got my roll on my shoulder 
I'm as free as a breeze

Whenever worries start 
to botherin' me (start botherin' me!)

don't care where I'm goin' 
I'm as free as a breeze 
an' do as I please 
just a bummin' around!

Liberated Lady 1999
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Shel Silverstein



She's a liberated lady and she's looking out for herself
And she don't need your protection and she does not want your help
And if you're lookin' for some pretty little flower
You better go look somewhere else 'cause I warn you she's a liberated lady

She got off work at the foundry, she was a feelin' kinda beat
On the bus she had to stand and let some fellah have her seat
And then she pinched the ass of a guy who passed her walkin' down the street
When he called a cop she didn't quite understand

Then she stopped off on the corner for her double shot of rye
When some guy lit her cigarette she punched him in the eye
And then he kicked her in the balls, it was enough to make her cry
But she stood there and she took it like a man

(She's a liberated lady and she smokes them big cigars
You're gonna find her drinkin' boilermakers at the corner bar
And in thirty seconds flat she'll change a flat tire on your car
Look out she's a liberated lady)

She come home to find her darlin' husband cryin' in distress
She says why ain't supper ready and why is this house a mess
He said the kids have drove me crazy and I need a brand new dress
And how come you don't ever take me dancin'

She sat down to smoke her pipe and she thought back to the time
When she was satin silk and lace with nothin' on her mind
But now she's gotta mow the lawn and gotta pay the bills on time
And pray to Mrs God she don't get drafted

Oh she got into bed that evenin' and she strapped her dildo on
Climbed on top of him and said okay let's get it on
He said you know I've got my period and my headache isn't gone
And he fell asleep the chauvinistic bastard, oh

(She's a liberated lady...
I say look out she's a liberated lady and she smokes them big cigars
You're gonna find her drinkin' boilermakers at the corner bar
And in thirty seconds flat she'll change a flat tire on your car
Look out she's a liberated lady)

Bumble Bee
Performer(s): LaVerne Baker



I'm gonna have to put you down
You've been treatin' me like a clown
You know you've hurt me once before
You'll never hurt me anymore

Shoo-wee, you hurt me like a bee
A bumble bee, an evil bumble bee

I gave you love as sweet as honey
My life, my soul and all my money
You didn't seem to realize
You had a home in paradise

Shoo-wee, you hurt me like a bee
A bumble bee, an evil bumble bee

Don't you know I cry
Night after night
Just one kiss before you go
Don't ever come back no more

Now baby there's no need of cryin'
I'm sick and tired of all your lyin'
You know you've hurt my heart again
I'm sorry baby it's the end

Shoo-wee, you hurt me like a bee
A bumble bee, an evil bumble bee

Don't you know I cry
Night after night
Just one kiss before you go
Don't ever come back no more

Now baby there's no need of cryin'
I'm sick and tired of all your lyin'
You know you've hurt my heart again
I'm sorry baby it's the end

Shoo-wee, you hurt me like a bee
A bumble bee, an evil bumble bee

Bullmoose
Composer(s): Bobby Darin
Performer(s): Bobby Darin
and various other artists



Did you hear the story ‘bout old Bullmoose?
He played piano, really tore it loose
Whenever his heart was filled with gloom
He'd beat out a song in the old lunchroom
All the guys and gals would gather 'round
Just to hear that Bullmoose sound
Sayin’ …
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!

Bullmoose playin’ on a Friday night
Two bad boys got up to fight
One old man yelled, "Hey, keep quiet!"
The next thing you know they started a riot
While everybody was-a jumpin’ around
All you could hear was that Bullmoose sound
Sayin’ …
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose, a-turn 'em loose!

Bullmoose goin’ to a party one day
Everybody asked him, "Won't you sit down and play?"
When all of a sudden the room began to shake
"Whoops!" he cried, "It's a real earthquake"
While the people were fallin’ into holes in the ground
All you could hear was that Bullmoose sound
Sayin’ …
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose, come on Bullmoose!
Let me hear it like it is, Bullmo …

Liar's Roses
Composer(s): Bill Rice - Mary Sharon Rice
Performer(s): Tammy Wynette



The doorbell rings, it's flowers for me
Roses again, it's the third time this week
What kind of fool must he picture me to be?
To be blinded by a dozen liar's roses

Guilt-stained words, on beautiful cards
But not a single one that comes from the heart
He's seein' her again 'cause that's when he starts
Sendin' me these lovely, liar's roses

Oh, I'm sleepin' in a bed of liar's roses
While he dreams of somebody else
He lies to me and thinks that I don't know it
But we're sleepin' in a bed of liar's roses

Why do I stay, I don't know
I guess it's easier than lettin' him go
I do the best I can to not let it show
What am I gonna do with all these roses?

Oh, I'm sleepin' in a bed of liar's roses
While he dreams of somebody else
He lies to me and thinks that I don't know it
But we're sleepin' in a bed of liar's roses

Bulbs
Composer(s): Van Morrison
Performer(s): Van Morrison



I'm kicking off from centre field
A question of being down for the game
The one shot deal don't matter
And the other one's the same

Oh! My friend I see you
Want you to come through (alright)
And she's standing in the shadows
Where the street lights all turn blue

She leaving for an American (uhuh)
Suitcase in her hand
I said her brothers and her sisters
Are all on Atlantic sand

She's screaming through the alley way
I hear the lonely cry, why can't you?
And her batteries are corroded
And her hundred watt bulb just blew

Lallallal.. alright...huhuhhuh

She used to hang out at Miss Lucy's
Every weekend they would get loose
And it was a straight clear case of
Having taken in too much juice

It was outside, and it was outside
Just the nature of the person
Now all you got to remember
After all, it's just show biz

Lallalal...huhuh...lallal

We're just screaming through the alley way
I hear her lonely cry, ah why can't you?
And she's standing in the shadows
Canal street lights all turn blue
And she's standing in the shadows
Where the street lights all turn blue
And she's standing in the shadows
Down where the street lights all turn blue
Hey, hey, yeah

Liar Liar
Composer(s): Jim Donna
Performer(s): The Castaways



Liar, liar, pants on fire
Your nose is longer than a telephone wire

Ask me, baby, why I'm sad
You been out all night, know you been bad
Don't tell me different, know it's a lie
Come kill me, honey, see how I cry

Why must you hurt me, do what you do
Listen here, girl, can't you see I love you
Make a little effort, try to be true
I'll be happy, not so blue

If you keep on tellin' me those lies
Still goin' out with other guys
There'll come a day I'll be gone
Take my advice, won't be long

When that day comes, won't be mad
Be free of you, but I'll still be sad
In spite of your cheatin', still love you so
I'll be unhappy if I let you go

Liar
Composer(s): Russ Ballard
Performer(s): Three Dog Night



I won't ever leave while you want me to stay
Nothing you could do that would turn me away
Hanging on every word
Believing the things I heard
Being a fool
You've taken my life, so take my soul
That's what you said and I believed it all
I want to be with you as long
As you want me to
I won't move away
Ain't that what you said?
Ain't that what you said?
Ain't that what you said?
Liar, liar, liar
May I see no night
May I see no day
If I ever leave while you want me to stay
You can believe in me
I won't be leaving
I won't let you go
Ain't that what you said?
Ain't that what you said?
Ain't that what you said?
Liar, liar, liar 

Liar
Composer(s): Johnny Rotten - Steve Jones - Glen Matlock - Paul Cook

Lie lie lie lie liar you lie lie lie lie
Tell me why tell me why

You're a liar you're a liar

Building With A Steeple
Composer(s): Ron Dante; Gene Allan
Performer(s): Ron Dante



There's a place where I can go
When I'm feeling very low
When my mind is all hung up
With worldly cares, I go there

I just sit and meditate
Till I get my head on straight
In that building with a steeple
Filled with big and little people
From everywhere

You don't need any guide
'Cause the path you take is wide
There are wrong ways you can go
Just ask me 'cause I know

It won't cost you a cent
But your time will be well spent
In that building with a steeple
Filled with big and little people
From everywhere

Don't get lost
On your way to find it
Come as you are
No one there will mind it

Buh ba-buh bah buh bah
bah buh bah
Buh ba-buh bah buh bah
bah buh bah

Come and talk to the man
He will always understand
In that building with a steeple
Filled with big and little people
From everywhere

Building The Bridge
Composer(s): Kevin Cronin
Performer(s): REO Speedwagon



Father to son, husband to wife
Brother to brother, black man to white
Living together, falling apart
Looking for the common ground in every human heart
It all comes down to the two of us
Yeah this is where we start

We are building the bridge
One small stone at a time
With a lot of love
And some help from above
From your heart to mine

There's a land of justice, cities filled with pride
A mountain of hope, just on the other side
Across a river of indifference, and a valley of despair
There's a tower of courage, piercing through the air
I have a dream for our children, I want to take them there

And we are building the bridge
One small stone at a time
With a lot of love
And some help from above
From your heart to mine

As we seek out understanding
As we learn to forgive
When we open up our minds
When our words are true and kind
We are building the bridge

Build Yourself A Dream 
Performer(s): Dickie Valentine



Build yourself a dream
Come on and find that happy theme
Your every day becomes a holiday
A hazy, crazy, jolly day
Just build yourself a dream

Build yourself a dream
And you will find a life supreme
Together, hand in hand, we’ll laugh and sing
About a house, a wedding ring
So build yourself a dream

Don’t you know that every bluebird is singing just for you?
And Mother Nature’s scheme of love
Is ideal for two

So build yourself a dream
Come on and find that happy theme
And you can thank your lucky stars above
That you have found the one you love
So build yourself a dream

Don’t you know that every bluebird is singing just for you?
And Mother Nature’s scheme of love
Is ideal for two

So build yourself a dream
Come on and find that happy theme
And you can thank your lucky stars above
That you have found the one you love

So build, build yourself a dream

L'Hôtel ((aka Hotel Specific (by Mick Harvey) - 1996))
((Adapted from: L'hôtel Particulier (by Serge Gainsbourg) - 1971))
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg - Michael Stipe - Thomas Dozol
Performer(s): Michael Stipe - 2006



At 56-7-8-9...It doesn't matter
Of a well-known secret street, if you knock on the door
First once then three more knocks, you're let inside
Alone and sometimes even not alone

A maid, without saying a word, walk in front of you
With stairs, endless hallways, come one after another
Decorated with baroque bronzes, golden angels
Aphrodites and Salomés

If it's not already occupied, say that you want the 44
It's the room that here they call 'Cleopatra's'
On the columns of its bed, standing watch, rococo-style
Statues holding torches gaze below

And between these slaves, naked, carved with ebony
Who will be the silent witness of the scene
While above a mirror reflects us
Slowly I embrace Melody

Melody

Bugs Bunny & The Pirate
Composer(s): Alan Livingston; Warren Foster
Performer(s): Mel Blanc



Yosemite Sam:
I'm Yosemite Sam the Pirate, and a buccaneer that's bold
I sail across the seven seas a-lookin' out for gold
When anyone gives me trouble, I makes him walk the plank
And I watch the perty bubbles come up from where they sank

Ya-ho Ya-ho Ya-ho-ho
Ya-ho Ya-ho Ya-ho
I sail the seas where ever I please
Where ever the tradewinds blow, yo-ho!

Bugs Bunny:
Oh, I'm glad that I'm a rabbit beacause I've got the habbit
Of chewing carrots all the live-long day!
I don't like potatoes, I never eat tomatoes
And I never envy horses eating hay

Every morning, noon, and nighttime, for carrots is the right time
My diet may be wrong, but what's the use?
Although I know I oughter, I even don't drink water
If I can get a glass of carrot juice!
