And It's Better Now
And It's Better Now
Composer(s): Francis Rossi - Rob Young
Performer(s): Status Quo
Riding along on the words of a song in my head
Thinking all day of the thoughts in my mind never said
I have needed a friend, over and over again
Everyone sings of a God they have known
Now I have a God of my own
And it's better now, been a long, long time
And it's better now that the words can rhyme
Gotta have something to sing about, everyone must have a song
Now I got something to sing about, everyone's singing my song
Gotta have something to sing about, everyone must have a song
Now I got something to sing about, everyone's singing my song
Dreaming away, never wishing to be anyone
Never a question or reason to find right or wrong
When I looked at the end, over and over again
Riding along on the words of a song
Thinking my time had all gone
And it's better now, been a long, long time
And it's better now that the words can rhyme
Gotta have something to sing about, everyone must have a song
Now I got something to sing about, everyone's singing my song
Gotta have something to sing about, everyone must have a song
Now I got something to sing about, everyone's singing my song

Dangerous Nan McGrew
Dangerous Nan McGrew
Composer(s): Al Goodhart; Don Hartman
Performer(s): Helen Kane
Hotcha, Chacha, Vo-doe-de-oh
And Boop-oop Poop-oop-a-doop
Tootin', shootin', high-falutin'
I make you loop the loop
I'm from the great North West
I'm dif'rent from the rest
Stand up, stand up, throw your hands up
I shoot pants and vest
Oh, I've been a bad girl all my life
I pick my teeth with a carving knife
And I make a widow of a wife
'Cause I'm dangerous Nan McGrew
Why, I slapped Jack Dempsey in the face
And I make barbed wire look like lace
And I throw myself right out of place
'Cause I'm dangerous Nan McGrew
And I eat dynamite
And I blow up in spite
I shoot everything in sight
Beware! Boom boom! Take Care! Poo poo!
With one breath, I sink a boat
And if anybody gets my goat
I cut myself a piece of throat
'Cause I'm dangerous Nan McGrew
Why, bullets, they bounce right off my chest
And I sleep on a hornet's nest
Why, I'm the gal sends show men west
'Cause I'm dangerous Nan McGrew
Why, lions tremble when I frown
When that great big Zeppelin came to town
Remember? I'm the one that held it down
Because I'm dangerous Nan McGrew
I like destroying pelf
I shoot bottles off the shelf
I'm so bad I scare myself
Take care! Boom boom! Beware! Poo poo!
Why, I pull a train right off the tracks
And for perfume, I use shellac
When mad dogs bite, I bite 'em back
Grrrr! 'Cause I'm dangerous Nan McGrew!

And It Stoned Me
And It Stoned Me
Composer(s): Van Morrison
Performer(s): Van Morrison
and multiple other artists
Half a mile from the county fair
And the rain came pourin' down
Me and Billy standin' there
With a silver half a crown
Hands full of a fishin' rods
And the tackle on our backs
We just stood there gettin' wet
With our backs against the fence
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Hope it don't rain all day
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like goin' home
And it stoned me
Then the rain let up, and the sun came up
And we were gettin' dry
Almost let a pick-up truck nearly pass us by
So we jumped right in and the driver grinned
And he dropped us up the road
We looked at the swim and we jumped right in
Not to mention the fishing poles
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Feel it run all over me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like goin' home
And it stoned me
On the way back home we sang a song
But our throats were getting dry
Then we saw the man from across the road
With the sunshine in his eyes
Well he lived all alone in his own little home
With a great big gallon jar
There were bottles too, one for me and you
And he said, "Hey! there you are"
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Get it myself from the mountain stream
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like goin' home
And it stoned me

Dangerous Man
Dangerous Man
Composer(s): Dwight Yoakam
Performer(s): Dwight Yoakam
He's a dangerous man
He's got blood in his plans
Better watch out where you stand
'Cause he's a dangerous man
He'll make you believe that he's your friend
But don't forget it's just pretend
And he's a dangerous man
He'll tell you the right things
About all the wrong people
He'll smile and he'll say "Hey you and me
We think just the same"
You better make sure that you read
All the rules first
'Cause he runs a crooked game
He's a dangerous man
He's got blood in his plans
Better watch out where you stand
'Cause he's a dangerous man
He'll make you believe that he's your friend
But don't forget it's just pretend
And he's a dangerous man
His words are all vain
And his promise is empty
His message is loud
But it ain't meant to be clear
He hides all the clues
That have left his hands stained and dirty
And he'll wash them with your tears
'Cause he's a dangerous man
He's got blood in his plans
Better watch out where you stand
'Cause he's a dangerous man
He'll make you believe that he's your friend
But don't forget it's just pretend
And he's a dangerous man

And It Shook Me
And It Shook Me
Composer(s): Graham Parker
Performer(s): Graham Parker
And it shook me, it shook me up, it shook me up, yeah
I remember the way you looked when we first met
There are some things in this world you can’t forget
You were standing underneath the light I lost my heart, it felt all right
And it shook me, and I’m still shaking now
I remember rainy nights I thought I’d drown
Was it london new york paris or amsterdam
I forget the details no I must admit but you were there through all of it
And it shook me, and I’m still shaking now
And it shook me, it shook me up, it shook me up, yeah
Will you hold on and hope our grip don’t fail
Sometimes lovers hammer in their own coffin nails
I just read how universes start, continually they blow apart
And it shook me and I’m still shaking now
Some believe in a heaven up above
With a God that forgives all with his great love
Well I forgive you if you forgive me, hey! who needs the third party anyway
And it shook me and I’m still shaking now
And it shook me, it shook me up, it shook me up, yeah ...

Dangerous Dan McGrew
Dangerous Dan McGrew
Composer(s): Alex Kramer; Joan Whitney
Performer(s): Guy Lombardo
A bunch of the boys were whoopin’ it up
At the Malamute Café
And the ragtime kid at the music box
Was a jazz and a tune that was gay
And back of the bar in a poker game
Sat a man that everyone knew
He was grim and cold, he was bad and bold
He was dangerous Dan McGrew
And while dangerous Dan was a-playin’ his hand
And keeping his mind on his game
You could see standing by with a gleam in her eye
And her hair just as red as a flame
A gal who was tall, with a face like a doll
And her fingernails painted blue
Oh, a gal who was tall, with a face like a doll
The lady that’s known as Lou
Then out of the night which was fifty below
And into the din and the glare
A man staggered in who was haggard and thin
And his face was filled with despair
Now he looked all around until he had found
The lady that’s known as Lou
And then the stranger turned
And his eyes they burned
On dangerous Dan McGrew
Then suddenly wham! All the lights went out
And a voice cried “Die, you must!”
And then a woman screamed and a shot rang out
And somebody bit the dust
And then the lights flashed on
And the north-west mounted police
Came a-crashin’ through
They drew their guns and they said
“Which one is dangerous Dan McGrew?”
And then somebody said “whoo, whoo, they’re so big!”
And skipped across the floor
A-one, two, skip, hand on hip
Right out through the open door
Now was it the stranger a-takin’ his leave?
Or the lady that’s known as Lou?
It was nobody else in this whole wide world
But dangerous Dan McGrew

And In My Chair
And In My Chair
((Adapted from: Et Moi Dans Mon Coin (Charles Azanavour) - 1966))
((Italian Version: Ed Io Tra Di Voi (Charles Aznavour - 1970))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - David Newburge
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour - 1998
He, he observes you from where he sits
You, it unnerves you, you lose your wits
He, he ignites you with eyes of flame
You, it excites you, you like the game
And I in my chair, 'though I hardly speak
I notice each innuendo
And I in my chair, I'm stricken with fear
At seeing the end so near
He, how to win you, views with a style
You, you continue to coyly smile
He, with his ????? ??? haunting laugh
You, only sorry that I'm around
And I in my chair, 'though I hardly speak
I see just how well he's doing
And I in my chair, I'm trying to hide
The dread that I hold inside
He, his eyes flatter, your glances touch
You, now you chatter a bit too much
He, like a gypsy, he serenades
You, you grow tipsy, your laugh cascades
And I in my chair, 'though I hardly speak
My heart's on the verge of crying
And I in my chair, my heart understands
My love is now changing hands
No, no, no it's nothing, perhaps a little tired only
Why do you ask me to "compris"
This was a beautiful evening
Yes indeed a, a beautiful evening

Danger! Heartbreak Ahead
Danger! Heartbreak Ahead
Composer(s): Carl Barefoot; Stutz-Barefood
Performer(s): Jaye P. Morgan; The Gaylords
Danger, heartbreak ahead
Look out little fool, you're not wise
Not wise to love so completely
Or fall for that look in his eyes
Danger, heartbreak ahead
Be sure little heart for you know
Yes you know what happened to you before
There's danger, travel slow
Does his kiss really mean what you think it means
Are the words that he whispers, true
Are you sure you understand, the touch of his hand
Does his touch mean too much to you
Maybe, I could be wrong
But go slow little fool for it's said
That love either finds you, or love either blinds you
To the danger of a heartbreak ahead
Does his kiss really mean what you think it means
Are the words that he whispers, true
Are you sure you understand, the touch of his hand
Does his touch mean too much to you
Maybe, I could be wrong
But go slow little fool for it's said
That love either finds you, or love either blinds you
To the danger of a heartbreak ahead

And I'll See You No More
And I'll See You No More
Composer(s): Thompkins Jr. - Wortham
Performer(s): The Stylistics
What could be colder than the attitude
That’s being carried between me and you
And now that it seems our dreams will not come true
Baby, we’re through
But if by morning we still feel
The way we felt the night before
Then let’s say no more about it
Walk out the door
And I’ll see you no more
How can this be true
Living a lie is such a foolish game
How could we think that love would mean the rain
Talking it over would make things so plain
Come on, let’s try
But if by morning we still feel
The way we felt the night before
Then let’s say no more about it
Walk out the door
And I’ll see you no more
But if by morning we still feel
The way we felt the night before
Then let’s say no more about it
Walk out the door
And I’ll see you no more
I’ll see you no more
I’ll see you no more
See you no more
See you no more

Danger Zone (Percy Mayfield)
Danger Zone
Composer(s): Percy Mayfield
Originally performed by: Percy Mayfield
Sad, sad and lonely
And sad and lonely all the time
That's because I've got
such a worried mind
The world is in an uproar
The danger zone everywhere
It is everywhere
Just read your paper
Read your paper and you'll see
Just what exactly has been
bothering me
The world is in an uproar
The danger zone everywhere
It is everywhere
My love for the world
It will always be the same
Because the world
has become a part of me
And I'm so afraid of the progress
that's being made toward eternity
Every morning, every morning
Every morning, noon and night
I keep on wishing and hoping
that everything's gonna be alright
The world is in an uproar
The danger zone everywhere
It is everywhere, everywhere
My love for the world
will always be the same
Because the world
has become a part of me
And I'm so afraid of the bloody progress
that has been made toward eternity
Every morning, every morning
Every morning, noon and night
I keep on wishing and hoping
that everything's gonna be alright
The world is in an uproar
Don't you know, don't you know
The danger zone everywhere
It is everywhere

And I'll Go
And I'll Go
Composer(s): Sonny Curtis
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers
Look at me and tell me
You don't want me around anymore
And I'll go
Tell me that I don't mean
Anything at all to you anymore
And I'll go
If you wanna say our love's not right
I'll turn away from you, run away from you
Out of your life
Cause I love you and I want you to be free
If I'm not the man you want me to be
Look at me and tell me
You don't want me around anymore
And I'll go
Look at me and tell me
You don't want me around you anymore
All you gotta do is let me know
All you gotta do is tell me so
And I'll go, I'll go
And I'll go, I'll go

Danger Zone (Kenny Loggins)
Danger Zone
Composer(s): Tom Whitlock; Giorgio Moroder
Performer(s): Kenny Loggins
Revvin' up your engine
Listen to her howlin' roar
Metal under tension
Beggin' you to touch and go
Highway to the Danger Zone
Ride into the Danger Zone
Headin' into twilight
Spreadin' out her wings tonight
She got you jumpin' off the track
And shovin' into overdrive
Highway to the Danger Zone
I'll take you
Right into the Danger Zone
You'll never say hello to you
Until you get it on the red line overload
You'll never know what you can do
Until you get it up as high as you can go
Out along the edges
Always where I burn to be
The further on the edge
The hotter the intensity
Highway to the Danger Zone
Gonna take you
Right into the Danger Zone
Highway to the Danger Zone

And I Think Of You (Peter Cetera)
And I Think Of You
Composer(s): Peter Cetera - Andy Hill
Performer(s): Peter Cetera
Where did you go - why did you run
What did you need from me you felt we were missing
Now you never write - and you never call
What did you want - I couldn't give
You should've told me baby I would have listened
Why did you leave - when we had it all
And I think of you
Yes I think of you
Everywhere I go - anytime of the day
Every move I make - every word that I say
If I let myself I get carried away
When I think of you
I still think of you
Time on my hands doesn't seem right
I'll never get used to this single life
And now I wonder what you're doing tonight
We got away from it all
In a house upon the hill
I loved you then and I always will
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

And I Love You So
And I Love You So
Composer(s): Don McLean
First release by: Don McLean - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived 'till now
I tell them I don't know!
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand!
And yes, I know
How lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free!
But I don't let ...
The evening gets me down
Now that you're around
Me!
And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do!
The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but love is dead
That is my belief!
And yes, I know
How lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free!
But I don't let ...
The evening gets me down
Now that you're around
Me!

Dang Me
Dang Me
Composer(s): Roger Miller
Originally performed by: Roger Miller
Well, here sitta' high, gettin' ideas
ain't nothin' but a fool'd live like this
out all night, n' running wild
woman setting home with a month-old child
Dang me
dang me
they ought to take a rope and hang me
high from the highest tree
woman wouldja' weep for me?
Just sitting 'round drinking with the rest of the guys
six rounds bought, n' I bought five
spent the groceries and half the rent
like fourteen dollars and 27 cents
So dang me
dang me
they ought to take a rope and hang me
high from the highest tree
woman wouldja' weep for me?
They say roses are red, and violets are purple
sugar's sweet and so is maple surple
I'm the seventh out of seven sons
my pappy was a pistol, I'm a son of a gun
I say dang me
dang me
they ought to take a rope and hang me
high from the highest tree
woman wouldja' weep for me?
