Trouble In Paradise
Trouble In Paradise
Composer(s): W. Franke Harding - Leo Robin
Most any place can seem to be a paradise
While you embrace just the one that you adore
There needn't be an apple tree with magic powers
You need no garden filled with flowers
To taste the thrill of sweet, greed hours
Gentle perfume and cushions that are silk and soft
Two in the gloom, that is silent but for sighs
That's paradise, while arms entwine and lips are kissing
But if there's something missing, that signifies
Trouble in paradise

I Saw Her Again Last Night
I Saw Her Again Last Night
Composer(s): Denny Doherty; John Phillips
Performer(s): The Mamas & The Papas
I saw her again last night
And you know that I shouldn't
To string her along is just not right
If I couldn't I wouldn't
But what can I do, I'm lonely too
And it makes me feel so good to know
You'll never leave me
I'm in way over my head
Now she thinks that I love her
Because that's what I said
Though I never think of her
But what can I do, I'm lonely too
And it makes me feel so good to know
You'll never leave me
Every time I see that girl
You know I want to lay down and die
But I really need that girl
Don't know why I'm living a lie
It makes me want to cry
I saw her again last night
And you know that I shouldn't
To string her along is just not right
If I couldn't I wouldn't
But what can I do, I'm lonely too
And it makes me feel so good to know
You'll never leave me
But what can I do, I'm lonely too
And it makes me feel so good to know
You'll never leave me
Every time I see that girl
You know I want to lay down and die
But I really need that girl
Don't know why I'm living a lie
It makes me want to cry
I saw her again last night
And you know that I shouldn't
To string her along is just not right
If I couldn't I wouldn't
I'm in way over my head
Now she thinks that I love her
Because that's what I said
Though I never think of her

The Trouble With Hello Is Goodbye
The Trouble With Hello Is Goodbye
Composer(s): David Grusin - Alan Bergman - Marilyn Bergman
Performer(s): Shirley Bassey
and multiple other artists
We wandered through the summertime
And drifted into fal
We never thought of winter at all
How foolishly we tossed away
The buttercups, the time
Who'd have thought
We'd have no more songs to sing
Hills to climb?
We summered in each other's arms
And slumbered in the glow
We never heard the whisper of snow
But summer's not forevermore
No matter how we try
The trouble with hello is goodbye

I Saw Elvis In A U.F.O.
I Saw Elvis In A U.F.O.
Composer(s): Ray Stevens
Performer(s): Ray Stevens
This is the evening news
Let's go now to our field reporter Renaldo Riviera
This is Renaldo Riviera on the banks of the stinky muddy river
with Mr. R.V. Frisbee who claims to have witnessed something truly fantastic
Mr. Frisbee could you tell us what you saw
Yeah, I's just hunkered down over there puttin' a stink wad on my trot line
and the short hairs just stood straight out on the back of my neck
and I turned around and there's this big orange thing
with them purple lights on it come swoopin' over them pine trees
and just hoovered over the Winnebago there
Inez run out and throwed a skillet at it and then she scissored and run back in under the hide-a-bed
'Bout that time a little trap door opened up
little stair steps come down and this little pink baldheaded guy stuck his head out
Now I'd seen that movie "Close Encounters"
I just walked on over there big as Ike and looked up in there and there he was
There who was?
I saw Elvis in a U.F.O. sittin' there with Howard Hughes
I saw Elvis in a U.F.O. Jimmy Hoffa was in there too
I saw Elvis in a U.F.O. singing them rhythm and blues
And Liberace was there and he had on a pair of Imeldia Marcos shoes
What is that a shootin star streakin' cross the heavens above?
No it's a whole lot more than a shootin' star it's a hunka hunka burning love, oooh
I saw the Colonel in a U.F.O. had a big smile on his face
And then he shook his head, puffed on his cigar and said
"I done book "Elvis" out in outer space"
And then those little pink men they all jumped in dancin' up and down the stairs
And then they rolled their eyes, began to harmonize and it sounded like the Jordanaires
Bop bop bop bop uh unh huh bop bop bop
We got Elvis in a U.F.O.
He's too good for the human race
We got Elvis in a U.F.O.
We're going to keep him out in outer space
They got Elvis in a U.F.O.
Honey have you heard the news
They got Elvis in a U.F.O.
Just singing them rhythm and blues
They got Elvis in a U.F.O.
And the colonel and Howard Hughes and Jimmy Hoffa even Liberace's up there
he ain't never had no hit record honey
I done had more hits than anybody but do I get to go in a U.F.O.
Nooo!!!
Now is that fair?
I'm the king of Rock n Roll!
The originator!
I started the whole thing baby and I think it's about time I got to go on a U.F.O.
You better beam me up Scotty or your little pink baldheaded people done tore it with me
Wow!!!.....
Thank you

Ebony Eyes
Ebony Eyes
Composer(s): John D. Loudermilk
First release by: The Everly Brothers - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists
On a weekend pass I wouldn’t have had time
To get home and marry that baby of mine
So I went to the chaplain and he authorized
Me to send for my ebony eyes
My ebony eyes was coming to me
From out of the skies on Flight 1203
In an hour or two I would whisper “I do”
To my beautiful ebony eyes
The plane was way overdue so I went inside to the airlines desk and I said
“Sir, I wonder why 1203 is so late?”
He said “Aww, they probably took off late
or they may have run into some turbulent weather and had to alter their course”
I went back outside and I waited at the gate
and I watched the beacon light from the control tower
as it whipped through the dark ebony skies as if it were searching for (my ebony eyes)
And then came the announcement over the loudspeaker
“Would those having relatives or friends on flight number 1203
please report to the chapel across the street at once”
Then I felt a burning break deep inside
And I knew the heavenly ebony skies
Had taken my life’s most wonderful prize
My beautiful ebony eyes
If I ever get to heaven I’ll bet
The first angel I’ll recognize
She’ll smile at me and I know she will be
My beautiful ebony eyes

Trouble In Mind
Trouble In Mind
Composer(s): Richard Jones - Janis Joplin
Performer(s): Janis Joplin
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
'Cause that sun is gonna shine in my back door someday
Now all you men's the same
But now I'm old enough to change my name
Lord, that sun's gonna shine in my back door someday
I'm gonna lay my head
On that lonesome railroad line
And let the 2:19 ease my troubled mind
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
Child, that wind's gonna come and blow my blues away!

I Said My Pajamas (And Put On My Prayers)
I Said My Pajamas (And Put On My Prayers)
Composer(s): Edward Pola; George Wyle
Performer(s): Doris Day
and multiple other artists
My ba-by kissed me good-night, and I am glad to relate
that by the time I got home, I was feeling great
I climbed up the door and o-pened the stairs
I said my pajamas and put on my pray'rs
I turned off the bed and crawled into the light
and all because you kissed me (Kiss) goodnight
Next morning, I woke and scrambled my shoes
I shined up an egg, then I toasted the news
I buttered my tie and took another bite
and all because you kissed me (Kiss) goodnight
By evening I felt normal, so we went out again
You said, "Goodnight," and kissed me
I hurried home and then
I climbed up the door and opened the stairs
I said my pajamas and put on my prayr's
I turned off the bed and crawled into the light
and all because you kissed me (Kiss) goodnight
I powdered my hair and pinned up my nose
I hung up the bath and I turned on my clothes
I put out the clock and wound the cat up tight
and all because you kissed me (Kiss) goodnight
I ran up the shade and pulled down the stair
I curled up the rug and I vacuumed my hair
I just couldn't tell my left foot from my right
and all because you kissed me (Kiss) goodnight
By evening I felt normal, so we went out again
You said, "Goodnight," and kissed me
I hurried home and then
I lifted the preach'r and called up the phone
I spoke to the dog and I threw your Ma a bone
'Twas mid-night and yet, the sun was shining bright
and all because you kissed me (Kiss) goodnight

Composer(s): Charles Brace - Maurice Rogers - Kent Sprague
Performer(s): Brenton Wood
Trouble, trouble, baby
Trouble, trouble, honey
You're comin' 'round here tryin' to tell me that you care
But if you gonna hurt me, girl
Let me give you a warning
You betta be careful
You know I really care and I love you so
But if you do me wrong
Then I'll be gone in the mornin'
You know true love is hard to find
So you better change your ways and change your mind
Now, baby
Don't say yes, and don't say no
But if there's a chance, then let me know
Say maybe, baby
Kill my true love
And say I'm just a friend
If that's how it is, let this be the end
We're gonna have trouble
Trouble, baby
Trouble, trouble, honey
You don't miss the water
Till the well runs dry
So baby let's give this love a try, indeed
You wanna be rich, don't wanna be poor
With the love I have, I'll give you more
Take heed, baby
You know, the world is cold and it's awful rough
But when you got it made, then things get tough
Can you dig it, baby
Stand by me, and I'll stand by you
Until we have a love that's gonna be true
Get with it, baby
You've had your share of fortune and fame
Without a true love
You have nothin' but pain
Trouble, yes, I'm gonna have trouble
Trouble, we're gonna have trouble
Trouble, you know...

First the tide rushes in
Plants a kiss on the shore
Then rolls out to sea
And the sea is very still once more
So I rush to your side
Like the oncoming tide
With one burning thought
Will your arms open wide
At last we're face to face
And as we kiss through an embrace
I can tell, I can feel
You are love, you are real
Really mine
In the rain, in the dark, in the sun
Like the tide at its ebb
I'm at peace in the web
Of your arms

Jellied Eels
Jellied Eels
Composer(s): Lionel Bart
Performer(s): Joe Brown
Now, ever since I was a mite
I've had a whacking appetite
My hollering for dinner would raise the rafters,
I'd swallow my befores as well as me afters!
'Til one sunny afternoon
They bunged something in me spoon
And I'm sure it must have been ever since then
That I've had an irresistable yen
For
Jellied eels, jellied eels
Woggling about like wonky wheels
Why d'ya frown and look so sickly?
Slide 'em down your throat so quickly!
Don't bring up any empty cup
Though I knows just how ya feels
When you gets a taste
You won't wanna waste
Them lovely jellied eels!
Now, winkles and shrimps are fine
I've flogged 'em since the age of nine
I used to jog along with me two-wheeled barrow
But there was something wrong
There was something the matter!
I'd no jellied eels on show
No wonder they didn't want to know!
I went out, bought a load, piled 'em up in a pile
And people could smell me coming a mile off!
Oh, jellied eels. jellied eels
woggling about like wonky wheels
Why d'ya frown and look so sickly?
Slide them down your throat so quickly!
Don't bring up any empty cup
Though I knows just how you feels
When you gets the taste
You won't wanna waste
Them lovely jellied eels!
All together now!
Jellied eels. jellied eels
woggling about like wonky wheels
Why d'ya frown and look so sickly?
Slide them down your throat so quickly!
Don't bring up any empty cup
Though I knows just how you feels
When you gets to taste
You won't wanna waste
Them lovely jellied eels!
It's alright for you missus
I ain't come down here on a Saturday morning
What do I get?
Kids, nippers, chavvies, all round me stal,
Rotten, filthy, dirty, stinking, jammy, chocolatey fingers
All over me jellied eels
Not to mention me whelks, my cockles and my muscles...
and me lovely jellied eels!
Oh, jellied eels, jellied eels
Woggling about like wonky wheels
Why d'ya frown and look so sickly?
Slide 'em down your throat so quickly!
Don't bring up any empty cup
Though I know just how you feels
When you gets a taste
You won't wanna waste
Them lovely jellied eels!

I play an old piano from nine till a half past one
Tryin' to make a livin' watchin' everybody else havin' fun
Well, I don't miss much that ever happens on a dance hall floor
Mercy, look what just walked through that door
Well, hello T-r-o-u-b-l-e
What in the world you doin' A-l-o-n-e?
Say, good L-double o-k-i-n-g
I smell T-r-o-u-b-l-e
I was a little bitty baby when my papa hit the skids
Mama had a time tryin' to raise nine kids
Told me not to stare 'cause it was impolite
And did the best she could to try to raise me right
But mama never told me 'bout nothing like Y-o-u
Say, your mama must have been another something or another too
Say, hello good L-double o-k-i-n-g
I smell T-r-o-u-b-l-e
Well, you talk about a woman, I've seen a lot of others
With too much something' and not enough another
You've got it all together like a lovin' machine
Lookin' like glory and walkin' like a dream
Mother Nature's sure been good to Y-o-u
Well, your mama must have been another good lookin' mother too
Say, hey, good L-double o-k-i-n-g
I smell T-r-o-u-b-l-e
Well, you talk about a trouble-makin' hunka pokey bait
The men are gonna love and all the women gonna hate
Reminding them of everything they never gonna be
Maybe the beginning of World War III
Oh, the world ain't ready for nothin' like a Y-o-u
Well, I bet your mama must have been another something or another too
Say hey good L-double o-k-i-n-g
I smell T-r-o-u-b-l-e

And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of it all
Then I will tell them I remember you-ooh
I remember, too, a distant bell and stars that fell

When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of it all
Then I will tell them I remember, tell them I remember
Tell them I remember you

((Adapted from: Beat It (Michael Jackson) - 1982))
Composer(s): Michael Jackson - "Weird Al" Yankovic
Performer(s): "Weird Al" Yankovic - 1984
How come you're always such a fussy young man
Don't want no Cap'n Crunch, don't want no Raisin Bran
Well don't you know that other kids are starvin' in Japan
So eat it, just eat it
Don't want to argue, I don't want to debate
Don't want to hear about what kinds of foods you hate
You won't get no dessert 'till you clean off you're plate
So eat it
Don't you tell me you're full
Just eat it... eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it
Have some more chicken
Have some more pie
It doesn't matter
If it's boiled or fried
Just eat it, just eat it
Just eat it, just eat it... Woo!
Your table manners are a crying shame
You're playing with your food, this ain't some kind of game
Now, if you starve to death
You'll just have yourself to blame
So eat it. Just eat it.
You better listen, better do as you're told
You haven't even touched your tuna casserole
You better chow down, or it's gonna get cold
So eat it.
I don't care if you're full
Just eat it... eat it
Open up your mouth and feed it
Have some more yogurt
Have some more Spam
It doesn't matter if it's fresh or canned
Just eat it! Eat it! Eat it! Eat it!
Don't you make me repeat it!
Have a banana, have a whole bunch
It doesn't matter what you had for lunch
Just eat it! Eat it!
Eat it! Eat it!
Eat it! Eat it!
If it's too cold, reheat it
Have a big dinner
Have a light snack
If you don't like it, you can't send it back
Just eat it! Eat it!
Get yourself an egg and beat it!
Have some more chicken
Have some more pie
It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried
Just eat it! Eat it!
Don't you make me repeat it!
