Too Poor To Die
Too Poor To Die
Performer(s): Louisiana Red & Little Victor'S Juke Joint
Last night I had a dream
I dream I died
The undertaker came
To carry me for the ride
I couldn't afford a coffin
Embalmin' kinda high
I jumped off my death bed
'Cause I too poor to die
I's in trouble
And I'll tell you the reason why
I'm just too poor people
I'm too poor to go lay down and die
I dream at the cemetery
I couldn't afford enough
To pay the gravediggers
To cover me up
It cost a lot of money
'Cause they was union men
I guess before I die
I better think again
I'm in trouble
And I'll tell you the reason why
I'm just too poor people
I'm too poor to go lay down and die
Dream I met the devil
He is waitin' at the gate
Say "come on in Red
You ain't a minute late"
Said he lead me to his kingdom
Lead me by my arm
But he wouldn't move my body
Less I grease his palm
I's in trouble
And I'll tell you the reason why
I'm just too poor people
I'm too poor to go lay down and die

I Know (I Know)
I Know (I Know)
Composer(s): John Lennon
Performer(s): John Lennon
The years have passed so quickly
One thing I've understood
I am only learning
To tell the trees from wood
I know what's coming down
And I know where it's coming from
And I know and I'm sorry (yes I am)
But I never could speak my mind
And I know just how you feel
And I know now what I have done
And I know and I'm guilty
But I never could speak my mind
I know what I was missing
But now my eyes can see
I put myself in your place
As you did for me
Today I love you more than yesterday
Right now I love you more right now
Now I know what's coming down
I can feel where it's coming from
And I know it's getting better all the time
As we share in each other's minds

Juliet
Juliet
Composer(s): Fritz Fryer; Morton Wilsh
Performer(s): The Four Pennies
There was a love, I knew before
She broke my heart, left me unsure
Juliet
Don't forget, the promise you made
I need never be afraid
Things you do, reminiscent of you
Juliet
When we met, you gave me a sweet memory
Things you do, reminiscent of you
There was a love, I knew before
She broke my heart, left me unsure
Juliet
Don't you, no don't you let
Our love go astray in this way
Julie, Julie
Julie, Julie, oh my Juliet
Julie, Julie, oh my Juliet

Too Pooped To Pop
Too Pooped To Pop
Composer(s): Benny Davis - Chuck Berry
Performer(s): Chuck Berry
Casey is an old man who wants to be a teen
He goes to all the dances and they call him cha-cha king
He cha-chas when the band is playin' rock and roll
He tries to keep in time but the beat leaves him cold
Because he's too pooped to pop, he's too old to skoal
His hips gettin' weaker when he try to do the stroll
And every time his feet get to goin' one way
Here come a new dance and it's goin' astray
Chicks told Casey, you better move man
This is a-only a one night stand
Casey wasn't in time but he's dancin' awhile
'Til a cramp caught his leg and he had to change his style
Because he's too pooped to pop, he's too old to skoal
His hips gettin' weaker when he try to do the stroll
And every time his feet get to goin' one way
Here come a new dance and he's gone astray
Because he's too pooped to pop, he's too old to skoal
His hips gettin' weaker when he try to do the stroll
And every time his feet get to goin' one way
Here come a new dance and he's gone astray
Casey finally learned to do the hoochie koo
This might have been fine back in '22
Now, I'm gonna give you fellows just a little tip
If you wanna keep your girl you better get hip
Or, you'll be too pooped to pop, too old to skoal
Your hips'll get weak when you try to do the stroll
And every time your feet gettin' to goin'one way
Here comes a new dance you'll be left to stray

But that was many tears ago
Before you came up in the world

I knew you when you were lonely
I knew you when you were only
A girl all alone without love (Yeah yeah yeah)
I knew you when (Yeah yeah yeah)...

Julien (Julien Clerc)
Julien
Composer(s): Maurice Valley; Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc
Tiens, vous m'avez appelé Julien
Vous semblez me connaître bien
Mais votre visage ne me dit rien
Tiens, vous prétendez que l'on s'est aimés
Que je n'ai pas pu oublier
Tout ce qui s'était passé
{Refrain:}
Tiens, vous vous souvenez très bien
Comme d'un réve qui revient
D'un passé qui est déjà loin
Moi, je ne me souviens de rien
Votre histoire ne me dit rien
Cessez de pleurer en vain
Tiens, j'aimais donc beaucoup vos très charmantes soirées
Passées à boire du thé
Tiens, je disais être heureux
Quand nous allions tous les deux
Voir les matchs de cricket
{Refrain}
Tiens, vous m'avez recherché partout
Vous avez fouillé tout le pays
De Liverpool à Brighton
Tiens, vous m'avez aperçu en vain
Par un après-midi d'automne
Je prenais l'avion pour Paris
Non, vous avez dû
Vous tromper avec un autre, c'est certain
Là-bas, jamais je ne suis allé
Moi, je ne me souviens de rien
Votre histoire ne me dit rien
Cessez de pleurer en vain

Too Old To Rock 'N Roll: Too Young to Die!
Too Old To Rock 'N Roll: Too Young to Die!
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull
The old rocker wore his hair too long
Wore his trouser cuffs too tight
Unfashionable to the end
Drank his ale too light
Death's head belt buckle, yesterday's dreams
The transport cafe prophet of doom
Ringing no change in his double-sewn seams
In his post-war-baby gloom
Now he's too old to Rock'n'Roll, but he's too young to die
He once owned a Harley Davidson
And a Triumph Bonneville
Counted his friends in burned-out spark plugs
And prays that he always will
But he's the last of the blue blood greaser boys
All of his mates are doing time
Married with three kids up by the ring road
Sold their souls straight down the line
And some of them own little sports cars
And meet at the tennis club do's
For drinks on a Sunday, work on Monday
They've thrown away their blue suede shoes
Now they're too old to Rock'n'Roll and they're too young to die
So the old Rocker gets out his bike
To make a ton before he takes his leave
Up on the A1 by Scotch Corner
Just like it used to be
And as he flies, tears in his eyes
His wind-whipped words echo the final take
And he hits the trunk road doing around 120
With no room left to brake
And he was too old to Rock'n'Roll, but he was too young to die
No, you're never too old to Rock'n'Roll if you're too young to die

I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)
I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)
Composer(s): Simon Crispin Climie; Dennis W. Morgan
First release by: Aretha Franklin & George Michael - 1986
Covered by multiple other artists
Like a warrior that fights
And wins the battle
I know the taste of victory
Though i went through some nights
Consumed by the shadows
And was crippled emotionally
Somehow I made it through the heartace
I escaped
I found my way out of the darkness, kept my faith
Kept my faith
And the river was deep I didn't falter
When the mountain was high
I still believed
When the valley was low
It didn't stop me
I knew you were waiting
Knew you were waiting for me
With and endless desire
I kept on searching
Sure in time our eyes would meet
And like the bridge is on fire
The hurt is over
One touch and you set me free
I don't regret a single moment
Looking back, when I think of all those disappointments
I just laugh, I just laugh
And the river was deep I didn't falter
When the mountain was high
I still believed
When the valley was low
It didn't stop me
I knew you were waiting
Knew you were waiting for me
So we were drawn together through destiny
I know this love we share was meant to be

Julien (Dalida)
Julien
Composer(s): Sergio Bardotti; Sergio Endrigo
Performer(s): Dalida
Julien arrête
Ce soir j'ai envie de parler
Et non de faire la fête
J'ai tant de choses dans la tête
Que tu ne comprends pas
Julien écoute
Avant toi j'ai brûlé ma vie
Au grand feu de l'indifférence
Tant d'hommes ont traversé mes nuits
Ne me laissant qu'un grand silence
En attendant la délivrance
Pour éviter les habitudes
Je m'habillais de solitude
Jusqu'à toi
Julien tendresse, Julien carresse
Julien rêveur, Julien moqueur
Qui ne tient jamais ses promesses
Julien ma joie et mon enfer
Julien ma paix, Julien ma guerre
Julien mon paradis perdu
Julien à moi
Julien sauvage, Julien voyage
Julien s'en va, Julien revient
Tenant ma vie entre ses mains
Julien ma soif, Julien ma faim
Ma maison mon pain et mon vin
Julien ma seule raison de vivre
Julien à moi
Julien écoute
J'ai voulu faire de notre amour
Un monde qui te ressemble
J'avais souvent perdu sans toi
Je voulais tant qu'on gagne ensemble
Mais quand le manège cesse de tourner
Il faut savoir descendre
Sans larme et sans attendre
Et s'en aller
Julien tendresse, Julien carresse
Julien rêveur, Julien moqueur
Qui ne tient jamais ses promesses
Julien ma joie et mon enfer
Julien ma paix, Julien ma guerre
Julien mon paradis perdu
Julien à moi
Julien qui casse, Julien qui lasse
Julien qui part et qui s'en fou
Julien qui revient à genoux
Julien ma honte, Julien ma gloire
Julien ma défaite, ma victoire
Julien trop tard
Julien ce soir tout est fini
Julien tristesse, Julien détresse
Julien trop de fois revenu
Et trop de fois tu m'as déçu
Julien ma soif, Julien ma faim
Ma maison mon pain et mon vin
Julien trop tard, Julien ce soir
Tout est fini
Julien c'est la dernière fois
Non je ne suis pas tout pour toi
Julien ne pleure pas comme ça
Julien reviens

Too Old To Cut The Mustard
Too Old To Cut The Mustard
Composer(s): Bill Carlisle
Performer(s): The Carlisles
and multiple other artists
When I was young, I had an automobile
I'd scoot myself right under that wheel
I had to fight the gals off with a stick
But now they say, "Oh, he makes me sick"
He's too old, too old
He's too old to cut the mustard anymore
He's a-gettin' too old, he's done got too old
He's too old to cut the mustard anymore
When I was young I had a lot of pep
I could get around, I didn't need no help
But since I'm old and a-gettin' gray
The people all look at me and say
He's too old, too old
He's too old to cut the mustard anymore
He's a-gettin' too old, he's done got too old
He's too old to cut the mustard anymore

I Knew The Bride (When She Used To Rock & Roll)
I Knew The Bride (When She Used To Rock & Roll)
Composer(s): Nick Lowe
Performer(s): Nick Lowe
and multiple other artists
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
Well, the bride was a picture in the gown that her mama wore
When she was married herself nearly twenty-seven years before
The had to change the style a little but it looked just fine
Stayed up all night, but they got it finished just in time
Now on the arm of her daddy, she's walkin' down the aisle
I see her catch my eye and give me a secret smile
Maybe it's too old fashioned, but we once were close friends
Oh but the way that she looks today, she never could have then.
Well, I can see her now in her tight blue jeans
Stuffin' all her money in the record machine
Spinnin' like a top, you shoulda seen her go
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
Well, the proud daddy only want to give his little girl the best
So he put down a grand on a cozy little lover's nest
You could have called the reception an unqualified success
At a posh hotel for a hundred and fifty guests
Well, take a look at the bridegroom smilin' pleased as pie
Shakin' hands all around with a glassy look in his eye
He got a real good job and his shirt and tie is nice
But I remember a time when she never would have looked at him twice
Well, I can see her now drinkin' with the boys
Breakin' their hearts like they were toys
She used to do the pony, she used to do the stroll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
Harp ride
Well, I can see her now with her walk man on
Struttin' up and down to her favorite song
I still remember when she used to wanta make a lot of noise
Hoppin' and boppin' with the street corner boys
She used to wanna party, she used to wanna go
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to do the pony
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to wanta party
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

Performer(s): Joe Dassin
Quand le vent du Nord vient balayer le pont
Oh Julie, Julie, Julie
Quand la vie à bord ressemble à la prison
Oh Julie, Julie, Julie
et te voir sur le quai le matin du départ
Oh Julie, Julie, Julie
Ton mouchoir disparaît quand on double le phare
Oh Julie, Julie, Julie
Est-ce que tu m'attendras?
Est-ce que tu seras là?
Oh, est-ce que tu penses encore à moi?
Dis est-ce que tu penses encore à moi?
Oh, est-ce que tu penses encore à moi?
Un avion parfois nous jette du courier
Oh Julie, Julie, Julie
Mais voilà six mois que tu m'as oublié
Oh Julie, Julie, Julie
Il paraît que la cale est bien loin d'être pleine
Oh Julie, Julie, Julie
Pour finir le travail il faudra des semaines
Oh Julie, Julie, Julie
Est-ce que tu m'attendras?
Est-ce que tu seras là?
Oh, est-ce que tu penses encore à moi?
Dis est-ce que tu penses encore à moi?
Oh, est-ce que tu penses encore à moi?

Too Nice To Talk To
Too Nice To Talk To
Composer(s): Roger Charlery - Andy Cox - Everett Morton - Dave Steele - Dave Wakeling
Performer(s): The English Beat
It's too late now
It's twenty past two
I spent the night just watchin' you
I watched you dance
I watched you move
Can't breath and still I watched you move away
Now I think quite a lot as I stare at my shoes
About all these things that I put myself through
Now there's nothing to say
And there's nothing to do
You're just too nice to talk to
Too nice to talk to
You're too nice to talk to
You're too nice to talk to
The Radcliffs wouldn't come after you
I glance but you just stared me through
Felt such a fool I felt you knew
But you might tell me to go away
Now I think quite a lot of my own point of view
Is that all I have that's in common with you
Emotions So Guarded
My heart is retarded
You're too nice to talk to
Too nice to talk to
You're too nice to talk to
You're too nice to talk to
This evening hasn't gone like I planned
Should I take the situation in hand
Can't go on but I can't seem to dance
You chain my feet
I stamp and stamp and stamp
Because nothing I do ever seems to be right
The same dance of mine
Every saturday night
Out the window
You might say I'm out of of my mind
But you're too nice to talk to
Too nice to talk to
You're too nice to talk to
Too nice to talk to
You're too nice to talk to
Too nice!

Performer(s): The Byrds
and multiple other artists
I'd like to love you , with all of my heart
You've had me on your trip, right from the start
And when you looked at me, with love in your eyes
I knew I'd want you, oh yeah
I'd like to hold you, if you want me to
I've found something new , just by looking at you
And it's in your smile, and it's in the way
I knew I'd want you, oh yeah
I meet so many people, I feel I don't know
But I felt so close to you, when you said hello
I'd like to love you, and together we'd find
The place we've been looking for, we'll have peace of mind
There we'll be happy, and there I'll know why
I knew I'd want you, oh yeah

But till then I'll write you every day

Too Much, Too Little, Too Late
Too Much, Too Little, Too Late
Composer(s): Nat Kipler - John Vallins
First release: Johnny Mathis & Deniece Williams - 1978
Guess it's over, call it a day
Sorry that it had to end this way
No reason to pretend
We knew it had to end someday
This way
Guess it's over, the kids are gone
What's the use of trying to hang on
Somewhere we lost the key
So little left for you and me
And it's clear to see
Too much, too little, too late to lie again with you
Too much, too little, too late to try again with you
We're in the middle of ending something that we knew
Was over {Oh, it was over}
Too much, too little, too late to ever try again
Too much, too little, too late, let's end at being friends
Too much, too little, too late, we knew it had to end
And it's over (It's over)
Guess it's over, the chips are down (Whoa, babe)
Pity all our bridges tumbled down
Whatever chance we try, let's face it widened eye
It's over {It's over}, it's over {Oh... ho...}
Too much, too little, too late to ever try again
Too much, too little, too late, let's end at being friends
Too much, too little, too late, we knew it had to end
And it's over {And it's over}, it's over {And it's over}
Too much, too little, too late to ever try again
Too much, too little, too late, let's end at being friends
Too much, too little, too late, we knew it had to end

Performer(s): Kenny
Been thinkin' about you in the sunshine
On a beach and bummin' around
Tho' I've been takin' all my chances
At discos and dances and ev'ry bar in town
And I've been surfin' ev'ry mornin'
At a party ev'ry night
But I've been tryin' to live with out you
And thinkin' about you and girl it just ain't right
Ju-Ju-Ju-Ju-Ju-Ju-Ju-Julie Anne like a fool
I ran away ran ran ran ran away
I'm goin' home today
And I want to stay there beside you
Ju-Ju-Ju-Julie Anne like a fool
I ran away ran ran ran away
But I'm on my knees and I'm beggin' you please
Oh
please
please say you'll forgive me Julie
Diggin' a record on the juke box
I nearly makes me want to cry
You always thought it was a cracker
The one by Sedaka 'bout away to say goodbye
I think about you when I'm lonely
I draw your picture in the sand
So many little things remind me
I left you behind me it's hard to understand
Ju-Ju-Ju-Ju-Ju-Ju-Ju-Julie Anne like a fool . . .
