The Teddy Bear's Picnic
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

Performer(s): Roy Clark
and various other artists
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

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
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
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
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
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 (Billy Cotton)
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
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

The Tarpaulin Jacket
The Tarpaulin Jacket
Composer(s): G.J. Whyte-Melville - Charles Coote
A tall stalwart lancer lay dying
And as on his deathbed did lay
To his friends who around him were sighing
These last dying words he did say
Wrap me up in my tarpaulin jacket
And say a poor buffer lies low
And six six stalwart lancers shall carry me
With steps solemn, mournful and slow
Had I the wings of a little dove
Far away I would fly, I'd fly
Start for the arms of my true lover
And there I would lay me and die
Then get you two little white tombstones
Put them at my head and my toe, my toe
And get you a penknife and scratch there
'Here lies a poor buffer below'
And get you six brandies and sodas
And set them all out in a row, a row
And get you six jolly good fellows
To drink to this buffer below
And then in the calm of the twilight
When the soft winds are whispering low, so low
And the darkening shadows are falling
Sometimes think of this buffer below

Drifting in slumber
While others are keepin'

Cause if you're lonely
You gotta let me know
Enjoy the wonders
Of life and love
Before you have to go

Never been loved before
Then I put my coat on
We decided to go
She's a woman...
On the way back home

In the car with remote
Controlled hands

Other girls didn't have
She's a woman...

Composer(s): Melissa Manchester; Carole Bayer Sager
Performer(s): Melissa Manchester
Well, hello there
Good old friend of mine
You've been reaching for yourself
For such a long time
There's so much to say
No need to explain
Just an open door for you
To come in from the rain
It's a long road
When you're all alone
And someone like you
Will always choose the
long way home
There's no right or wrong
I'm not here to blame
I just want to be the one
Who keeps you from the rain
From the rain
And it looks like sunny skies
Now that I know you're alright
Time has left us older
Wiser, I know I am
'Cause I think of us
Like an old cliche
But it doesn't matter
'Cause I love you anyway
Come in from the rain
And it looks like sunny skies
Now that I know you're alright
Time has left us older
But Wiser, I know I am
And it's good to know
My best friend has come home again
'Cause I think of us
Like an old cliche
But it doesn't matter
'Cause I love you anyway
Come in from the rain
Come in from the rain
Come in from the rain

If you get lonely out there in that old world
And you become just a homesick little girl
Should the life you lead begin to fall apart
Then come home oh come home to my heart
Then come home to my heart the door is open
Come on home when the tears begin to fall
Forget the past and things that might have been
And come home to my heart just walk right in
If some old mem'ry should start working on your mind
And you get lonesome for the love you left behind
If your new world begins to fall apart
Then come home oh come home to my heart
Then come home to my heart...
And come home to my heart just walk right in

Performer(s): The Robins;
and various other artists
On July second, 1953
I was serving time for armed robbery
'Bout four in the morning
I was sleepin' in my cell
I heard a whistle blow
I heard somebody yell
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Up in cell block number nine
The trouble started in cell block no. 4
It spread like fire across the prison floor
I said "Come on boys, get ready to run
Here comes the warden with a tommy gun"
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Up in cell block number nine
The warden said
"Come out with your hands up in the air
If you don't stop this riot
You're all gonna get the chair"
Scarface Jones said, "It's too late to quit
And pass the dynamite, 'cause the fuse is lit"
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Up in cell block number nine
The ninety-second hour
The tear gas got our men
Crawled in our cells
But every now and then...
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Up in cell block number nine
