I'm So Excited
I'm So Excited
Composer(s): Trevor Lawrence; June Pointer; Anita Pointer; Ruth Pointer
First release by: The Pointer Sisters - 1982
Covered by multiple other artists
Tonight's the night we're gonna make it happen
Tonight we'll put all other things aside
Give in this time and show me some affection
We're going for those pleasures in the night
I want to love you, feel you
Wrap myself around you
I want to squeeze you, please you
I just can't get enough
And if you move real slow, I'll let it go
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it
And I know, I know, I know, I know I know I want you
We shouldn't even think about tomorrow
Sweet memories will last a long long time
We'll have a good time baby don't you worry
And if we're still playing around boy that's just fine
Let's get excited, we just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it
And I know, I know, I know, I know I know I want you, want you
I want to love you, feel you
Wrap myself around you
I want to squeeze you, please you
I just can't get enough
And if you move real slow, I'll let it go
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it
And I know, I know, I know, I know I know I want you
I'm so excited (look what you do to me)
and I just can't hide it (you got me burning up)
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited (look what you do to me)
and I just can't hide it (I'm about to give it up)
And I know, I know, I know, I know I know I want you

Excerpt From A Teenage Opera
Excerpt From A Teenage Opera
Composer(s): Philwit Hopkins; Pegasus Hopkins
Performer(s): Keith West
Count the days into years
Yes, eighty-two brings many fears
Yesterday's laughter turns to tears
His arms and legs don't feel so strong
His heart is weak, there's something wrong
Opens windows in despair
Tries to breathe in some fresh air
His conscience cries, "Get on your feet
Without you, Jack, the town can't eat"
Refrain:
Grocer Jack, Grocer Jack, get off your back
go into town, don't let them down, oh no, no
Grocer Jack, Grocer Jack, get off your back
go into town, don't let them down, oh no, no
The people that live in the town
don't understand - he's never been known to miss his round
It's ten o'clock, the housewives yell
"When Jack turns up, we'll give him hell"
Husbands moan at breakfast tables, no milk, no eggs, no marmalade labels
Mothers send their children out, to Jack's house to scream and shout
Refrain
It's Sunday morning, bright and clear
lovely flowers decorate a marble square
People cry and mourn away, think about the fateful day
Now they wish they'd given Jack more affection and respect
The little children, dressed in black, don't know what's happened to old Jack
Refrain
Grocer Jack, Grocer Jack, is it true what Mummy said
you won't come back
Oh no, no
(repeat)

First release by: The Clash - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists
Yankee soldier
He wanna shoot some skag
He met it in Cambodia
But now he can't afford a bag
Yankee dollar talk
To the dictators of the world
In fact it's giving orders
An' they can't afford to miss a word
I'm so bored with the U...S...A...
But what can I do?
Yankee detectives
Are always on the TV
'Cos killers in America
Work seven days a week
Never mind the stars and stripes
Let's print the Watergate Tapes
I'll salute the New Wave
And I hope nobody escapes
I'm so bored with the U...S...A...
But what can I do?
Move up Starsky
For the C.I.A.
Suck on Kojak
For the USA

Except For Monday
Except For Monday
Composer(s): Reed Nielsen
Performer(s): Lorrie Morgan; Patti Page
You look surprised
You didn’t think you’d see me
Kicking up my heels
Painting up this town
When you said good-bye
Learned a couple new dances
Cast a couple of glances
I’m on a big roll now...
Except for Monday which was never good anyway
Tuesday I get a little sideways
Wednesday I feel better just for spite
Thursday and Friday take too long
Before I know it, Saturday’s gone
But it’s Sunday now and you can bet that I’m alright
Don’t get me wrong
It wasn’t always this easy
Getting over you
Got a little rough on me
But it didn’t take long
Before I got it together
And everyday I thank my lucky stars that you set me free
Except for Monday which was never good anyway
Tuesday I get a little sideways
Wednesday I feel better just for spite
Thursday and Friday take too long
Before I know it, Saturday’s gone
But it’s Sunday now and you can bet that I’m alright

(French Versions: Je Suis Seul Ce Soir; Je Suis Seule Ce Soir)
Composer(s): Paul Durand; Jean Casanova; Rose Noël; Jos. Geo. Gilbert
Performer(s): Sam Browne; Archie Lewis; Skyrockets Orch.
Here I'm all alone with a memory
Of that day when we said goodbye
Sweetheart why can't we be together?
Once again, just you and I
I'm so all alone, ever so lonely
I'm so all alone, ever so blue
There's a yearning, always returning
Such a yearning, only for you
I'm so all alone, ever so lonely
Without you, my love, what can I do?
Only tears remain, so please come back again
For I'm so all alone, longing for you
Je suis seul ce soir, avec mes rêves
Je suis seul ce soir, sans ton amour
Le jour tombe, ma joie s'achève
Tout se brise, dans mon coeur lourd
I'm so all alone, ever so lonely
Without you, my love, what can I do?
Only tears remain so please come back again
For I'm so all alone, longing for you

Exactly Like You
Exactly Like You
Composer(s): Dorothy Fields; Jimmy McHugh
Performer(s): Ruth Etting;
and various other artists
I used to have a perfect sweetheart
Not a real one, just a dream
A wonderful vision of us as a team
Can you imagine how I feel now
Love is real now, it's ideal
You're just what I wanted
And now it's nice to live
Paradise to live.....
I know why I've waited
Know why I've been blue
Prayed each night for someone
Exactly like you
Why should we spend money
On a show or two
No one does those love scenes
Exactly like you
You make me feel so grand
I want to hand the world to you
I hope you'll understand
Each foolish little scheme I'm schemin'
And dream I'm dreamin'
Now I know why mother
Taught me to be true
She meant me for someone
Exactly like you

Performer(s): Al Jolson
and multiple other artists
I'm sitting on top of the world
Just rolling along
Just rolling along
I'm quitting the blues of the world
Just singing a song
Just singing a song
Glory, hallelujah, I just phoned the parson
"Hey, Par, get ready to call!"
Just like humpty dumpty
I'm ready to fall
I'm sitting on top of the world
Just rolling along
Just rolling along
I'm quitting the blues of the world
Just singing a song
Just singing a song

Ex
Ex
Composer(s): C. Miossec; David Hallyday
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Des photos que je recolle
Comme pour tuer le temps
Que j'avais pour toi
Pour toi
C'est tiré en plein vol
Sur tous les sentiments
Que j'avais pour toi
Pour toi
C'est froissé de la tôle
Comme se saigner à blanc
T'étais tout pour moi
Pourquoi
Est-ce que tu te rends compte
Pourquoi m'faire mordre la terre
Moi j'était comme un père
Un frère un homme ton amant
Pourquoi les anges sur terre
Déclarent toujours la guerre
À ceux qui les aiment tant
Faut pas que je pense
Que mes espérances
Sont morts ce jour-là
Devant toi
Faut pas que je me dise
Que la terre devient folle
Sous mes pas
Sans toi
Mais si un jour tu sonnes
Et que je te revois
J't'aimerais malgré moi
Crois moi
Est-ce que tu te rends compte
Pourquoi les anges sur terre
Font vivre l'enfer
À ceux qui les aiment tant
Pourquoi les anges sur terre
Déclarent toujours la guerre
À ceux qui les aiment tant
Mais si un jour tu sonnes
Et que je te revois
J't'aimerais malgré moi
Crois moi
Faut pas que je me dise
Que la terre devient folle
Sous mes pas
Sans toi
Est-ce que tu te rends compte
Pourquoi m'faire mordre la terre
Moi j'étais comme un père
Un frère un homme ton amant
Pourquoi les anges sur terre
Déclarent toujours la guerre
À ceux qui les aiment tant
Pourquoi les anges sur terre
Font vivre l'enfer
À ceux qui les aiment tant
Pourquoi les anges sur terre
Déclarent toujours la guerre
À ceux qui les aiment tant

I'm Shooting High
I'm Shooting High
Composer(s): Ted Koehler; Jimmy McHugh
Performer(s): Alice Faye & Jack Oakie
and multiple other artists
I'm shooting high
Got my eye on a star in the sky
Shooting high
I'll never stop till I get to the top
Tell me why, shooting high
You know it's you I'm after
You're my lucky star
I'm on a rainbow rafter
Climbing up to where you are
I'll have the time, it's a climb
But I'll make it `cos I'm
Shooting high
Every morning, when I raise my blind
To greet another day
I begin by making up my mind
That it's my lucky day
I'm shooting high
Got my eye on a star in the sky
Shooting high
I'll never stop till I get to the top
Tell me why, shooting high
You know it's you I'm after
You're my lucky star
I'm on a rainbow rafter
Climbing up to where you are
I'll have the time, it's a climb
But I'll make it `cos I'm
Shooting high

Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye
Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Benny Goodman;
and various other artists
Every time we say goodbye, I die a little
Every time we say goodbye, I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me, who must be in the know
think so little of me that they allow you go
When your near there's such an air of Spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer but how strange
The change from major to minor
Every time we say goodbye

I'm Set Free
Composer(s): Lou Reed
First release by: The Velvet Underground - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
I’ve been set free and I’ve been bound
To the memories of yesterday’s clouds
I’ve been set free and I’ve been bound
And now I’m set free
I’m set free
I’m set free to find a new illusion
I’ve been blinded but
Now I can see
What in the world has happened to me
The prince of stories who walk right by me
And now I’m set free
I’m set free
I’m set free to find a new illusion
I’ve been set free and I’ve been bound
Let me tell you people
What I found
I saw my head laughing
Rolling on the ground
And now I’m set free
I’m set free
I’m set free to find a new illusion

Ev'ry Street's A Boulevard In Old New York
Ev'ry Street's A Boulevard In Old New York
Composer(s): Jule Styne; Bob Hilliard
Performer(s): Dean Martin;
and various other artists
So I leave it to you, what's in a name?
Are the folks who live on a street like Eleventh
Any finer than the family on 107th?
I settle each issue by telling the squawker
If you live in New York be glad you're a New Yorker
Every street's a boulevard in old New York
Every street's a highway of your dreams
It's a thrill to shop on 34th Street
Or down in Union Square
I like the people you meet on Mulberry Street
Have you ever been there?
Streets are lined with palaces in old New York
It's a kingdom where the people wear the crown
Just remember there's an East Side and a West Side
And Uptown and Down
That's why I'm proud to be a part of New York town
Streets are paved with happiness in old New York
We're proud you're a part of it
We're happy that you came
Each sidewalk is a concrete path to fame
Just remember there's an East Side and the West Side
And Uptown and Down
In this great big metropolis known as New York town

I'm Sending My Blessings
I’m Sending My Blessings
Composer(s): Al Dubin; Noel Gay; L. Wolfe Gilbert
Performer(s): Ivy Benson; Vera Lynn
I’m sending my blessings
With every letter I pen
I hope and pray that one fine day
You’re in my arms again
I’m sending my blessings
I know whenever I do
A bluebird sings, then spreads its wings
And flies from me to you
It bears a tender magic
Wherever you may be
Soon I hope my bluebird
Will bring you back to me
I’m sending my blessings
I pray that heaven above
Will bless you too
When I send you
My blessings and my love

Every Girl Is Different
Every Girl Is Different
Composer(s): Jimmy Van Heusen; Johnny Burke
I'm a very clever person
When I get my little brain unfurled
For example, I discovered something
That should really rock the world
Ev'ry girl is diff'rent
Either she's a beauty or she's brainy
Or the kind you call on when it's rainy
Who knows why?
Ev'ry girl is diff'rent
Either she's to talk with or to smile with
Or be shipwrecked on a desert isle with
Who knows why?
You'll agree that a blush can make a strong man weak
Don't quote me, but believe me, that is pure technique
Ev'ry girl is diff'rent
Either she's a sweet thing or a bright thing
But if ev'ry girl would do the right thing
They'd go out on strike
'Cause men are all alike
Ev'ry girl is diff'rent
One prefers a necklace, one a frat pin
While another reaches for a hat pin
Who knows why?
Ev'ry girl is diff'rent
Either she's a tomboy or she's fragile
Or perhaps discouragingly agile
Who knows why?
And somehow ev'ry boy believes his heart is clear
Don't look now but the fellow with the rings is here
Ev'ry girl is diff'rent
Either they're alluring or alarming
But they do expect to meet Prince Charming
For the love of Mike!
Men are all alike

I'm Scared
Composer(s): Burton Cummings
Performer(s): Burton Cummings; Randy Bachman
Said I'm scared, lord I'm scared, I'm terrified
Never been much on religion but I sure never like to hear the call
I'm scared lordy lord I'm shakin' I'm petrified
Never been much on religion but I showed up, just fell down on my knees
Heard the choir singing something about good will torn men
And even then sleeping in heavenly peace
Stopped by to see St. Thomas
On a cold and dreary New York afternoon
Something in the air was oh so rare
I dont know what it was but I know that it's still right there
And I'm scared lordy lord I'm shaken I'm terrified
Never been much on religion but I showed up and just fell down on my knees
Livin' in confusion, searchin' for truth that I'd never found
I needed something to really believe
Turned toward the heavens on a dark and stormy winter afternoon
Something in the air was oh so rare
I'm not really sure what it was but I know for sure that it's still right there
Scared, hey hey hey hey hey hey I'm terrified
Never been much in religion but I showed up fell down on my knees
Oh oh oh oh oh I'm scared you know I'm shakin' I'm layin' awake thinking about her
Now I'm terrified
Never been much on religion but I sure enough would like to hear the call
Come on now give me a sign you're listening to me
You hear me talkin' you hear my cryin'
It's confusin' to me lord I'm terrified
Never been much on religion but I showed up
Just fell down on my knees
Oh oh oh oh oh

Evolution
Evolution
Composer(s): Ronnie Lane
Performer(s): Pete Townshend
Well, once I was a stone, many years ago
Into a pool was thrown, many years ago
Time went by and the pool ran dry
Excavated was I, and tempered and beat in the fiery heat
By the hand of a man, whose name was Dan, Dan the blacksmith
Well once I was a sword, many years ago
And my blade was broad, many years ago
Wore it with pride, and into battle I'd ride, on a warrior side
And cut my tail, their was loss of my tail
and soon did rust ,corrode to dust, oh my
Well once I was a daisy, many years ago
In pastures green and lazy, many years ago
But I was et by a goat who fell in a moat
And forgetting to float he sunk like a lead and stayed until dead
And was relieved to find just how kind it all was
Well once I was a grub, many years ago
And I lived among that mud , many years ago
But I'm a reckless mood, and I gave it a Coo
That was it with a prune, and when the good Lord was done
I walked with the sun, I shed my skins
And tried my wings and flew away
Well, once I was a bullfrog, had to struggle for survival
And once I was a carp and lived in waters on the meadow
And once I was a mynah bird, quoting verses from the Bible
I said pretty boy, pretty boy, Saint Luke
Well once I was a mule, many years ago
and my master treat me cruel, many years ago
By by was sick, so I moved to a kick,
So I took out a stick , laid it back across my back
To an almighty crack to my dismay
I cast away into the blue
Then I was born a human baby, many years ago
I remember I was born unto a lady, many years ago
All our hopes were piled on the back of a child
Who turned out to be wild, sent the devil a prayer
Caused the parson to swear so I took my leave
To lie and thieve, on my way to jail
Well, I've been a tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor
Known good times and disaster
But now I have a teacher and my teacher has a master
And the master is perfection, so he'll help us get there faster
Don't need no proof, 'cause that's the truth, and I'll drink to that!
