That Was A Big Fat Lie
That Was A Big Fat Lie
Composer(s): Jule Styne - Sammy Cahn
Performer(s): Doris Day; Keely Smith
I kind of believed you when you said your nights were lonely
Until the day that I came by
But when you whispered that I was your one & only
That was a big fat lie
I should have been wiser than I was
And seen right through you
But the moon got in my eye
That stuff about I never lived until I knew you
That was a big fat lie
You must have started to fib when you were wearing a bib
And such a habits hard to break
A little lie is okay
But when you lie night & day
That's more than even I can take
You told me we oughta marry
And I let you sway me
Kissed my happy days goodbye
And when you told that man you'd honor & obey me
That, baby, was a big fat lie
Let's face it you're no George Washington
An over exaggeration of a super prevarication
Just a big fat lie

If Ever You're In My Arms Again
If Ever You're In My Arms Again
Composer(s): Michael Masser; Tom Snow; Cynthia Weil
Performer(s): Peabo Bryson
and multiple other artists
It all came so easy
All the loving you gave me
The feelings we shared
And I still can remember
How you touched me so tender
It told me you cared
We had a once in a lifetime
But I just couldn't see
Until it was gone
A second once in a life time
May be too much to ask but I swear from now on
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll love you much better
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll hold you forever
This time will never end
Now I'm seeing clearly
How I still need you near me
I still love you so
There's something between us
That won't ever leave us
There's no letting go
We had a once in a lifetime
But I just didn't know it
Till my life fell apart
A second once in a life time
Isn't too much to ask cause I swear from the heart
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll love you much better
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll hold you forever
This time will never end
Never end
Climax:
The best of romances
Deserves second chances
I'll get to you somehow
'Cause I promise now
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll love you much better
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll hold you forever
This time will never end

Keep The Ball Rollin'
Keep The Ball Rollin'
Composer(s): Sandy Linzer; Denny Randel
Performer(s): Jay & The Techniques; Baby Talk; Al Hirt
Keep the ball rollin'
Keep the ball rollin'
Girl, the name of the game is love
On your mark get set
Let the kissin' start
And just a-keep the ball rollin'
Baby right into my heart
How can you ask me to try
And get by with just one little kiss
The kissin' you do
I need a second helpin' too
When you light the fire in my heart
And every part of me is burning
You've got to put your lips closer to mine, girl
You got to follow it through
(You got to follow it through)
(You got to follow it through)
Keep the ball rollin'
Keep the ball rollin'
Girl, the name of the game is love
On your mark get set
Let the kissin' start
And just a-keep the ball rollin'
Baby right into my heart
Half of a loaf isn't better than none
When I'm starvin' for you
Don't hold me tight if every night we stop at two
If you want me there when you call
Then girl, it's all or nothing
Next time you do
You got to put your lips closer to mine
Girl you got to follow it through
(You got to follow it through)
(You got to follow it through)
And just keep the ball rollin' baby
Keep the ball rollin'
Girl, the name of the game is love
On your mark get set
Let the kissin' start
And just a-keep the ball rollin'
Baby right into my heart

You Fascinate Me So
You Fascinate Me So
Performer(s): Blossom Dearie
I have a feeling that beneath the little halo on your noble head
There lies a thought or two the devil might be interested to know
You're like the finish of a novel that I'll finally have to take to bed
You fascinate me so
I feel like Christopher Columbus when I'm near enough to contemplate
The sweet geography descending from your eyebrow to your toe
The possibilities are more than I can possibly enumerate
That's why you fascinate me so
So sermonize and preach to me
Make your sanctimonious little speech to me
But oh my darling you forgive my inability to concentrate
I think I'm dealing with a powderkeg that's just about to blow
Will the end result deflate me, or will you annihilate me
You fascinate me so
So sermonize and preach to me
Make your sanctimonious little speech to me
But oh my darling you forgive my inability to concentrate
I think I'm dealing with a powderkeg that's just about to blow
Will the end result deflate me, or will you annihilate me
You aggravate me
You irritate me
You fascinate me so

If Ever I Would Leave You
If Ever I Would Leave You
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
Performer(s): Robert Goulet
and multiple other artists
If ever I would leave you
It wouldn't be in summer
Seeing you in summer
I never would go
Your hair streaked with sunlight
Your lips red as flame
Your face with a lustre
That puts gold to shame!
But if I'd ever leave you
It couldn't be in autumn
How I'd leave in autumn
I never will know
I've seen how you sparkle
When fall nips the air
I know you in autumn
And I must be there
And could I leave you
Running merrily through the snow?
Or on a wintry evening
When you catch the fire's glow?
If ever I would leave you
How could it be in springtime?
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so?
Oh, no! not in springtime!
Summer, winter or fall!
No, never could I leave you at all!

Keep The Customer Satisfied
Keep The Customer Satisfied
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Simon & Garfunkel;
Liz Larsen; Gary Puckett; Buddy Rich
Gee but it's great to be back home
Home is where I want to be.
I've been on the road so long my friend
And if you came along
I know you couldn't disagree
Chorus:
It's the same old story
Everywhere I go
I get slandered
Libelled
I hear words I never heard In the Bible
And I'm one step ahead of the shoeshine
Two steps away from the county line
Just trying to keep my customers satisfied
Satisfied.
Deputy Sheriff said to me
Tell me what you come here for, boy
You better get your bags and flee
You're in trouble boy,
And you're heading into more
Chorus:

Doesn't Anybody Love Me?
Doesn't Anybody Love Me?
Composer(s): Benny Davis - Ted Murry
Performer(s): The McGuire Sisters
Doesn't anybody love me? Doesn't anybody care?
Doesn't anybody want me, anybody, anywhere?
I ain't never had no lovin', I'm so tired of bein' blue
Ev'rybody needs somebody, and I need somebody too
There must be someone for ev'ryone, they say
That's why I ask myself a million times a day
Doesn't anybody hear me when I say my lonely prayer?
Doesn't anybody love me? Doesn't anybody care?
There must be someone for ev'ry single one they say
That's why I ask myself a million times a day
Doesn't anybody hear me when I say my lonely prayer?
Doesn't anybody love me? Doesn't anybody care?

If Ever A Heart Was In The Right Place
If Ever A Heart Was In The Right Place
Composer(s): Harry M. Woods
Performer(s): Henry Hall
If ever a heart was in the right place, it's yours
If I need a hand in any tight place, it's yours
If I were lost out in the ocean
I know that somewhere in that ocean
You and your devotion
Would be the life preserver for me
If ever a smile was any sweeter, it's yours
If ever a love made life completer, it's yours
For when I hold you close to me
It's then I know most of all
If ever a heart was in the right place, it's yours

If Dreams Came True
Composer(s): Robert Allen; Al Stillman
Performer(s): Pat Boone
Oh my darling, oh my lover
If dreams came true, dear
I'd dream you everything
That you would always
Be happy as a king
If dreams came true, dear
No trouble would you see
Just song and laughter
To keep you company
Oh my darling, oh my lover
In your heart you would soon discover
Song and laughter ever after
From the dreaming I'd do
If dreams came true
(Oh my darling, oh my lover)
If dreams came true, dear
I'd dream you paradise
A moonlit garden
And stars to match your eyes
But as for me, dear
My world is all agleam
For I have you, dear
And have no need to dream
Oh my darling, oh my lover
In your arms is where I discover
More than moonlight, more than starlight
More than dreaming could do
If dreams came true

Keep The Fires Burnin'
Composer(s): Willie Hutch
Performer(s): Gwen Guthrie
Yeah
Can you feel it?
I can
It’s good
Mmm, yeah
Now move with it, mmm, hmm
Everybody that’s on the dance floor
I want you to put your hands together
And just move your hips from side to side
(Keep the fires burnin’) Yeah, that’s it, you got it, mmm hmm
Now mister DJ (Keep the fires burnin’)
I want you to, come on count with us
It’s your turn to be a star
Ooh... (Keep the fire burnin’)
Ooh...hoo...yeah, can you feel it
Keep the fires burnin’
Keep the fires burnin’
Keep them burnin’ hot
Work on your love, yeah
You got to give it all you’ve got
We spent a lot of time searching for love
And never know where it’s comin’ from
And as soon as we get it
Somehow we seem to think that our work is done
But the same thing you took to get that love
Are the things that you’ll have to do to keep it
You gotta stay on your J-O-B
You gotta give a little, take a lot, give it all you’ve got, oh
Keep the fires burnin’
Keep the fires burnin’
Keep them burnin’ hot
You gotta work on your love, yeah
You gotta give it all you’ve got
We say a lot of things that we really mean
To each other when love is new
Lots of promises and all the things we’ve said
And the things we intended to do
But as time goes by, things get cold and dry
There’s no more water in the well
And there ain’t no way that two can come together
If we stay locked in our shell, oh
Keep the fires burnin’
Keep the fires burnin’
Keep them burnin’ hot, y’all, uh-huh
You gotta work on your love, yeah
You got give it all you’ve got
We spent a lot of time searching for love
And never know where it’s comin’ from
And as soon as we get it
Somehow we seem to think that our work is done
But the same thing you took to get that love
Are the things that you have to do to keep it
You gotta stay on your J-O-B, yeah
You gotta give a little, take a lot, give it all you got
Keep it burnin’
Keep it burnin’
Oh, Lord, it’s good
Oh, keep the fires burnin’
Keep the fires burnin’
Keep them burnin’ hot oh oh oh
Keep it burnin’
Uh-huh, yeah...eah...ooh...

If All The World Were Paper
If All The World Were Paper
Composer(s): Walter Bullock; Harold Spina
Performer(s): Shirley Temple
I can't show how much I love you
In this little face I've got
I don't know how much I love you
But it's an enormous lot
If all the world were paper
And all the seas were ink
I'd write a great big note to you
And tell you what I think
I'd say "I love you dearly"
In letters three miles high
And sign it "Yours sincerely"
Cross my heart and hope to die
If all the stars were diamonds
In golden skies above
They wouldn't be worth that
Without your love
I'd like to write "I love you"
So big that you would blink
If all the world were paper
Yes, and all the seas were ink

Keep The Home Fires Burning
Keep The Home Fires Burning
Composer(s): Ivor Novello; Lena Guilbert
Performer(s): John McCormack;
and various other artists
They were summoned from the hillside
they were called in from the glen
And the country found them ready at the stirring call for men
Let no tears add to their hardships
as the soldiers pass along
And although your heart is breaking
make it sing this cheery song
Keep the Home Fires Burning
While your hearts are yearning
Though your lads are far away they dream of home
There's a silver lining, through the dark clouds shining
Turn the dark cloud inside out, 'til the boys come home
Overseas there came a pleading
"Help a nation in distress"
And we gave our glorious laddies, honor bade us do no less
For no gallant son of freedom to a tyrant's yoke should bend
And a noble heart must answer to the sacred call of "Friend"
Keep the Home Fires Burning
While your hearts are yearning
Though your lads are far away they dream of home
There's a silver lining, through the dark clouds shining
Turn the dark cloud inside out 'til the boys come home

Nights Are Longer
Nights Are Longer
Composer(s): Tommy Deering
Performer(s): The Four Freshmen
Nights are longer since you went away
I'll grow stronger each passing day
A season turned, a lesson learned, someday I shall be wise
I'll remember just how heartbreak feels
When I gaze in someone's eyes
I'll be lonesome, but I'll show no grief
They say heartbreak soon finds relief
And then one day I'll realize that it was meant to be
Since you went away from me
And then one day I'll realize that it was meant to be
Since you went away from me

If A Man Answers
If A Man Answers
Composer(s): Bobby Darin
Performer(s): Bobby Darin
If a Man Answers your phone when I call
Oh, there's gonna be some screamin' that ain't all
'Cause if I'm here callin' you
Then who's the who I'm talkin' to?
Why any fool could see
That for sure it ain't me
If a Man Answers your phone then honey we're through!
Now everything between us used to be fine
Till I became a third party
When there ain't no party line
You-hear-me-talkin'
Gonna hang this phone up now and dial again
Oh and their better be a soprano on the other end
'Cause if the voice is baritone
When you told me you'd be home alone
Well,then I'm wastin' my time
Not to mention my dime
So, If a Man Answers your phone then honey I'm gone!

Keep The Mask On The Lone Ranger
Keep The Mask On The Lone Ranger
Composer(s): John T. Douglas
Performer(s): John T. Douglas
It's plain to see our laws keep getting stranger everyday
The courts won't rest until they've taken all our rights away
Ain't nothing sacred anymore and everyone's in danger
When some fool thinks he can take the mask off the Lone Ranger
Now I'm not one to criticize the way our courts are run
And I don't complain about the harm some liberals have done
But this time they've gone one step too far, they're hitting close to home
We've got to let them know that the Lone Ranger's not alone
So come on everyone, let's get behind our Lone Ranger
He's fighting bad guys once again and his career's in danger
They're trying to take his mask away and give it to a stranger
So let's do all we can to keep the mask on the Lone Ranger
For over thirty years Clayton's lived up to the task
Now some judge has decided he's not fit to wear that mask
Well, it don't make no difference what that judge might have to say
Ain't nothing gonna make it right to take that mask away
So come on everyone, let's get behind our Lone Ranger
He's fighting bad guys once again and his career's in danger
They're trying to take his mask away and give it to a stranger
So let's do all we can to keep the mask On the Lone Ranger
Our courts are all mixed up about just who the bad guys are
Or maybe they don't know that the Lone Ranger wears a star
I guess it's up to you and me to see justice gets done
'Cause if they take his mask away they're hurting everyone
So come on everyone, let's get behind our Lone Ranger
He's fighting bad guys once again and his career's in danger
They're trying to take his mask away and give it to a stranger
So let's do all we can to keep the mask on the Lone Ranger
