Tossing And Turning
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
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'
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
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
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
Take me down to Junior's Farm
Take me back, take me back
I wanna go there...

Composer(s): Richie Adams - Malou Rene
First release: Bobby Lewis - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists
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
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 (The Jacksons)
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
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 Chinese
I like Chinese ...

Junior Birdman
Junior Birdman
(Traditional)
Chorus:
Up in the air junior birdman
Up in the air upside down
Up in the air junior birdman
Keep your noses off the ground
When you hear the grand announcement
that your wings are made of tin
Then you know that Junior Birdman
has turned his box tops in*
For it takes: 5 box tops
4 bottle bottoms
3 coupons
2 wrappers
and one thin dime!
B-i-r-d, B-i-r-d, B-i-r-d-m-a-n
Birdman, Birdman, Birdman
Buzzzzzzzz!
*Alternate Verse
When you hear the doorbell ring (buzz, buzz)
When you see the badge of tin (tin, tin)
Then you know that junior birdman
Has turned his box tops in

I Like Beer
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)
(Yes he likes beer)

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!

Torre De Cristal
Torre De Cristal
Performer(s): Fito Páez
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

I Like Bananas (Because They Have No Bones)
I Like Bananas (Because They Have No Bones)
Performer(s): Billy Cotton
Standing by the fruit stall on the corner
Once I heard a customer complain
You never seem to show the fruit we all love so
That’s why business hasn’t been the same
I don’t like your peaches
They are full of stones
But I like bananas
Because they have no bones
Bo-de-o-don’t give me tomatoes
Cant’ stand ice cream cones
But I like bananas
Because they have no bones
No matter where I go
With Susie, May or Anna
I want the world to know
I must have my banana
Cabbages and onions
Hurt my singing tones
But I like bananas
Because they have no bones
Now I don’t care for muffins
I don’t like buttered scones
Ah but I like bananas
Because they have no bones
I don’t like giggling flappers
I don’t like ancient crones
Ah but I like bananas
Because they have no bones
In fig leaves and bearskins
Which you girls often sip on
Why not have banana skins
They’re easy things to slip on
I can’t bear tax collectors
Especially one who phones
Ah but I like bananas
Because they have no bones
I don’t like a crooner
Of the blues he moans
But we like bananas
Because they have no bones
I don’t like politicians
They’re human gramophones
We like bananas
Because they have no bones
I never cared for drink
To me it seems so sinful
Though when you come to think
Bananas get a skinful
I don’t like the bagpipes
And I can’t stand saxophones
We like bananas
Because they have no bones

Tororó
Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Edú Lobo
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
Eu fui no Tororó
Beber água, não achei
Achei bela morena
Que no Tororó deixei
Pra que, morena
Ah, pra que carinho
Ah, pra que desejo
Pra acabar sozinho
Antes da mulher
Era o homem só
Era sem querer
Era sem amor
Era sem penar
Era sem suor
Era sem mulher
Era bem melhor
Deus fez a fêmea e depois
Que ela encorpou, nunca mais
Que um mais um foram dois
E caíram de quatro os animais
E tome praga no arroz
Rebelião nos currais
Ficou o homem feroz
E estranhou seus iguais
Antes da mulher
Era um dissabor
Era um desprazer
Que fazia dó
Homem sem mulher
Era quase um pó
Que ficava em pé
Era um saco só
Dentro da fêmea Deus pôs
Lagos e grutas, canais
Carnes e curva e cós
Seduções e pecados infenais
Em nome dela, depois
Criou perfumes, cristais
O campo de girassóis
E as noites de paz
