I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now?
I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now?
Composer(s): Frank Adams; Will Hough; Joseph E. Howard; Harold Orlob
First performance: Henry Burr - 1909
Covered by multiple other artists
You have loved lots of girls in the sweet long ago
And each one has meant heaven to you
You have vowed your affection to each one in turn
And have sworn to them all you'd be true
You have kissed 'neath the moon
While the world seemed in tune
Then you've left her to hunt a new game
Does it ever occur to you later boy
That's she's prob'ly doing the same?
I wonder who's kissing her now
Wonder who's teaching her how?
Wonder who's looking in to her eyes?
Breathing sighs!
Telling lies!
I wonder if she's got a boy?
The girl who once filled me with joy
Wonder if she ever tells him of me?
I wonder who's kissing her now?
If you want fo feel wretched and lonely and blue
Just imagine the girl you love best
In the arms of some fellow who's stealing a kiss
From the lips that you once fondly pressed
But the world moves a pace and the loves of today
Flit away with a smile and a tear
So you never can tell who is kissing her how
Or just whom you'll be kissing next year
I wonder who's kissing her now
Wonder who's teaching her how?
Wonder who's looking in to her eyes?
Breathing sighs!
Telling lies!
I wonder who's buying the wine?
For lips that I used to call mine
Wonder if she ever tells him of me?
I wonder who's kissing her now?

Kitty From Kansas City
Kitty From Kansas City
Composer(s): Harry Rose; Jesse Greer
Performer(s): Rudy Vallée
I have traveled everywhere in most every state
I've met girlies here and there and I think they're great
But there's one that pleased me and squeezed me and teased me
Down old Missouri way
Her name was Kitty, from Kansas City
Sure was a pity she wasn't pretty
Hey, Hey she's not hard to see
She weighs two-forty three
I hope she doesn't get much fatter
But if she does, it doesn't matter
Kitty from Kansas City
Now there's a girl that I adore
She's so dumb, she doesn't know a thing
She thinks that July the Fourth is an English King!
I love her, I love her, that's easy to see
It's Kansas City Kitty for me
Her name was Kitty, from Kansas City
Sure was a pity she wasn't pretty
Hey, Hey I loved her just because
She's not the girl she was
How she can cook, and she can wash
But when she starts to love
Oh, Gosh!
It's Kitty from Kansas City
Now there's a girl that I adore
She's so dumb, her brain is in a whirl
Why she thinks that Babe Ruth, is a chorus girl!
I love her, I love her, and I'm up a tree
It's Kansas City Kitty for me

Composer(s): Peter De Rose - Carl Sigman
Performer(s): Art Mooney & His Orch. - 1949
and multiple other artists
There are twenty four hours of sunshine
Every day that you're in love
There are twenty four hours of sunshine
And flowers and rainbows up above
Let the rain fall, the night fall
Or anything that might fall
There's one thing you're positive of
There are twenty four hours of sunshine
Every day that you're in love
When you love somebody who loves you too
It's funny how sunny the day is
There's a golden glow in the sky of blue
And each month is as sunny as May is
There are twenty four hours of sunshine
Every day that you're in love
There are twenty four hours of sunshine
And flowers and rainbows up above
Let the rain fall, the night fall
Or anything that might fall
There's one thing you're positive of
There are twenty four hours of sunshine
Every day that you're in love
You're in love
Every day that you're in love

But I'd marry you too soon
So I guess you're gonna have to wait
Until after your honeymoon

When I'm gone?
Yahh...

Who's going to carry your business on?
Who's going to carry your business on?

Kitty In The Basket
Kitty In The Basket
Composer(s): Bob Merrill
Performer(s): Diana Decker
(Miaow.........Miaow)
If there's someone in the city doesn't want a little kitty
Tell them put the little kitty in a basket
Leave the little basket outside my door
And I'll love the little kitty for evermore
Wrap the kitty warm, you never know about a storm
And I don'y want a little kitty with the sneezes
I'll hug her and I'll squeeze her, never never tease her
Want a little kitty in a basket
No matter 'bout the colour of her nosey
Don't care if she's a fella or a girl
Don't have to be as pretty as a posey
And I promise not to laugh if she only has a half-a-tail
If there's someone in the city doesn't want a little kitty
Tell them put the little kitty in a basket
Leave the little basket outside my door
And I'll love the little kitty for evermore
Savin' up a dollar and I'm gonna buy a collar
If she's lookin' for a home, please won't ya ask it
Don't want a little tiskit, or a little tasket
Just a little kitty in a basket
I'll warm her milk and dress her in pyjamas
I'll make a bed for her in Daddy's shoe
And if she starts in cryin' for her mama
She can bring along her mama and her sisters and her brothers too
Don't have to be as pretty as a posey
And I promise not to laugh if she only has a half-a-tail
If there's someone in the city doesn't want a little kitty
Tell them put the little kitty in a basket
Leave the little basket outside my door
And I'll love the little kitty for evermore
Wrap the kitty warm, you never know about a storm
And I don'y want a little kitty with the sneezes
I'll hug her and I'll squeeze her, never never tease her
Want a little kitty in a basket
I'll hug her and I'll squeeze her, never never leave her
Want a little kitty in a basket
(Miaow)

Twenty Four Hours
Twenty Four Hours
Composer(s): Ian Curtis - Peter Hook - Stephen Morris - Bernard Sumner
First recording: Joy Division - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists
So this is permanence, love's shattered pride
What once was innocent, turned on it's side
A cloud hangs over me, marks every move
Deep in the memory, of what once was love
Oh how I realised how I wanted time
Put into perspective, tried so hard to find
Just for one moment, thought I'd found my way
Destiny unfolded, I watched it slip away
Excessive flash points, beyond all reach
Solitary demands for all I'd like to keep
Let's take a ride out, see what we can find
A valueless collection of hopes and past desires
I never realised the lengths I'd have to go
All the darkest corners of a sense I didn't know
Just for one moment, I heard somebody call
Looked beyond the day in hand, there's nothing there at all
Now that I've realised how it's all gone wrong
Gotta find some therapy, this treatment takes too long
Deep in the heart of where sympathy held sway
Gotta find my destiny, before it gets too late

I Wonder Where My Easy Rider's Gone?
I Wonder Where My Easy Rider's Gone?
Composer(s): Shelton Brooks
Performer(s): Sophie Tucker
and multiple other artists
Miss Susie Johnson is a crazy as can be
About that easy riding kid they call Jockey Lee
Now don't you think it's funny, only bets her money
In the race friend jockey's goin' to be
There was a race down at the track the other day
And Susie got an inside tip right away
She bet a "hundred to one" that her little "Hon"
Would bring home all the "mon"
When she found out "Jockey" was not there
Miss Susie cried out in despair
I wonder where my easy rider's gone today
He never told me he was goin' away
If he was here he'd win the race
If not first he'd get a "place"
Cash in our winnings, on a "joy-ride" we'd go, right away
I'm losing my money that's why I am blue
To win a race, Lee knows just what to do
I'd put all my junk in pawn
To be on any horse that jockey's on
Oh' I wonder where my easy rider's gone

K-K-K-Katy
K-K-K-Katy
Composer(s): Geoffrey O'Hara
Performer(s): Buddy Clark; Mitch Miller;
Billy Murray; Jon English
Jimmy was a soldier brave and bold
Katy was a maid with hair of gold
Like an act of fate
Kate was standing at the gate
Watching all the boys on dress parade
Jimmy with the girls was just a gawk
Stuttered ev'ry time he tried to talk
Still that night at eight
He was there at Katy's gate
Stuttering to her this love sick cry
K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy
You're the only g-g-g-girl that I adore
When the m-m-m-moon shines
Over the cowshed
I'll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door
K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy
You're the only g-g-g-girl that I adore
When the m-m-m-moon shines
Over the cowshed
I'll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door
No one ever looked so nice and neat
No one could be just as cute and sweet
That's what Jimmy thought
When the wedding ring he bought
Now he's off to France the foe to meet
Jimmy thought he'd like to take a chance
See if he could make the Kaiser dance
Stepping to a tune
All about the silv'ry moon
This is what they hear in far off France
K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy
You're the only g-g-g-girl that I adore
When the m-m-m-moon shines
Over the cowshed
I'll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door
K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy
You're the only g-g-g-girl that I adore
When the m-m-m-moon shines
Over the cowshed
I'll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door

Composer(s): Eddie Cochran - Ned Fairchild
First release: Eddie Cochran - 1957
Covered by multiple other artists
Ooh, well I got a girl with a record machine
When it comes to rockin' she's the queen
We love to dance on a Saturday night
All alone where I can hold her tight
But she lives on the twentiest floor uptown
The elevator's broken down
So I walked one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight, more
Up on the twelfth I started to drag
Fifteenth floor I'm a-ready to sag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
When she calls me up on the telephone
Say, come on over honey, I'm all alone
I said, baby you're mighty sweet
But I'm in bed with the achin' feet
This went on for a couple of days
But I couldn't stay away
Well they sent to Chicago for repairs
Till it's a-fixed I'm a-usin' the stairs
Hope they hurry up before it's too late
Want my baby too much to wait
All this climbin' is a-gettin' me down
They'll find my corpse draped over a rail
But I climbed one, two flight, three flight four

Composer(s): Walter Donaldson; Gus Kahn
Performer(s): Henry Burr
and multiple other artists
I burned up ev'ry letter
And thought that I'd feel better
I put away her picture too
Sent back each little present
And though it wasn't pleasant
It seemed the wisest thing to do
I've done ev'rything I could and yet
It isn't very easy to forget
I wonder where my baby is tonight
I wonder how my baby is tonight
I wonder where she's gone and how she's getting on
I wonder why my baby doesn't write
If she came back I wonder what I'd do
I wonder did she find somebody new
She didn't treat me fair and though I shouldn't care
I wonder where my baby is tonight
I wonder does my baby do the Charleston, Charleston
I wonder who is teaching her the Charleston, Charleston
While I sit and sigh, the time goes draggin' by
I'd like to kill the guy who wrote the Charleston, Charleston
We parted 'cause I couldn't do the Charleston, Charleston
She'd still be here if I could do the Charleston, Charleston
I'm takin' lessons now,; I'll win her back somehow
I wonder where my baby is tonight

Kleine Man
Kleine Man
Performer(s): Rob de Nijs
De tijd, mijn kleine man
dat je net tot m'n middel kwam
Is niet ver weg
en toch het lijkt of je al tot mijn schouder rijkt
Voor jou begint een leven lang
De tijd, kleine man, dat ik jou praten heb geleerd
Is nu voorbij, het lijkt verkeerd met jou te spreken als een kind
Toch wil ik dat jij leven leert
Op een dag, zal een wereld bestaan
Waar jij gewoon naartoe kunt gaan
En iedereen is vrij
Op een dag, wordt daar lachen geleerd
En oorlog ken je dan niet meer, dat is voorgoed voorbij
Op zo’n dag
En weet je, kleine vriend, je wordt niet ouder en verdient
Het eeuwig leven waar je bent, al wordt je nog zo'n oude vent
Je kunt er altijd blijven wonen
De liefde die je kent, is er voor nu voor en altijd
Die raak je niet zo makkelijk kwijt, al wordt je 120 jaar
Met al je dochters en je zonen
Op een dag, zal er vriendschap bestaan
Die nooit kapot zal kunnen gaan
Zo’n wereld blijft je bij
Op een dag, wordt je’t huilen verleerd
En ruzie ken je dan niet meer
Die wereld die maak jij, op een dag
De vrouw die jou bemint is schoner dan een schilderij
Onder de schaduw van de bomen kun je rustig blijven dromen
Ze is van mij, ze is van mij
Want weet je, kleine vriend
Een man heeft soms heeft soms iets van een boot
Ook als het stormt houdt hij zich groot
En biedt een veilig onderkomen
Tegen de wind en averij
Op een dag, zal je huis ergens staan
Waar wind en regen niet bestaan
Zo’n wereld die maak jij
Op een dag, gaat er niets meer verkeerd
Je hebt het leven goed geleerd
Die wereld is dichtbij, op een dag
De tijd, kleine man, dat jij net tot m'n middel kwam
Is niet ver weg en toch het lijkt of je al tot mijn schouder rijkt
Voor jou begint een leven lang
Daarom, kleine man, wil ik wat praten voor dat blijkt
Dat jij veel op je vader lijkt
Die jou laat dromen van een leugen
Die jou laat dromen van een leugen

Twelve-Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming To The Canyon)
Composer(s): John Phillips
First release: The Mamas and The Papas - 1967
I used to live in New York city
Everything there was dark and dirty
Outside my window was a steeple
with a clock that always said 12:30
Young girls are coming to the canyon
And in the mornings I can see them walking
I can no longer keep my blinds drawn
And I can't keep myself from talking
At first so strange to feel so friendly
To say "Good morning" and really mean it
To feel these changes happening in me
But not to notice till I feel it
Young girls are coming to the canyon
And in the mornings I can see them walking
I can no longer keep my blinds drawn
And I can't keep myself from talking
Cloudy waters cast no reflection
Images of beauty lie there stagnant
Vibrations bounce in no direction
But lie there shattered into fragments
Young girls are coming to the canyon
And in the mornings I can see them walking
I can no longer keep my blinds drawn
And I can't keep myself from talking

I Wonder What The King Is Doing Tonight
I Wonder What The King Is Doing Tonight
From "Camelot"
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
Performer(s): Richard Harris
and multiple other artists
I know what my people are thinking tonight
As home through the shadows they wander
Ev'ryone smiling in secret delight
They stare at the castle and ponder
Whenever the wind blows this way
You can almost hear ev'ryone say
I wonder what the King is doing tonight
What merriment is the king pursuing tonight?
The candles at the Court, they never burn'd as bright
I wonder what the King is up to tonight
How goes the final hour
As he sees the bridal bower
Being legally and regally prepared?
Well, I'll tell you what the King is doing tonight
He's scared! He's scared!
You mean that a king who fought a dragon
Whack'd him in two and fixed his wagon
Goes to be wed in terror and distress?
Yes!
A warrior who's so calm in battle
Even his armor doesn't rattle
Faces a woman petrified with fright?
Right!
You mean that appalling clamoring
That sounds like a blacksmith hammering
Is merely the banging of his royal knees?
Please!
You wonder what the King is wishing tonight . . .
He's wishing he were in Scotland fishing tonight
What occupies his time while waiting for the bride?
He's searching high and low for some place to hide
And oh, the expectation
The sublime anticipation
He must feel about the wedding night to come!
Well, I'll tell you what the King is feeling tonight
He's numb! He shakes!
He quails! He quakes!
And that's what the King is doing tonight

Since you've been gone my heart's broken
And I'm just knee-deep in the blues
Well, I've just been thinkin' things over
How I have loved you for years
My life just don't seem worth livin'
Since you have left me in tears

It's 'cause I've lost 'bout all I can lose
Since you've been gone I've quit tryin'
And I'm just knee-deep in the blues
