Little Girl Of Mine
Little Girl Of Mine
Composer(s): Morris Levy - Herbert Cox
First release by: The Cleftones - 1956
Covered by multiple other artists
Dedeliddle liddle...
Oh, litle girl of mine
You sure look fine
Yes, you appeal to me
I'll never set you free
Be my loving baby
Til the end of time
I can't seem to get you
Off my mind
The boys all roll their eyes
As we go strolling by
It's not so hard to see
That they all envy me
'Cause your loving baby
You belong to me
That's the way it was
Meant to be
Oh, well, now I know
I love you so
I'll never, ever let you go
I need your love, oh, so much
I thrill to your touch
Oh, well, now I know
I love you so
I'll never, ever let you go
I need your love, oh, so much
I thrill to your touch
So, little girl, stay true
That's all I ask of you
Be mine and mine alone
Don't leave your happy home
'Cause I love you, baby
And I always will
You're my one and only thrill
Oh, my baby, my honey ...

Make 'Em Laugh
Make 'Em Laugh
Composer(s): Nacio Herb Brown; Arthur Freed
Performer(s): Donald O'Connor
Make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh
Don't you know all the world wants to laugh, aha!
My dad said be an actor my son
but be a comical one!
They'll be standing in lines
For those old honky tonk monkey shines!
Now you can study Shakespeare and be quite alight
and you can charm the critics and have nothing to eat
Just slip on a banana peel
The worlds at your feet!
Make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh!
Make... make em laugh
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh
My grandpa said go out and tell em a joke
But give it plenty of hope!
Make em roar, make em scream
Take a fall but a Walsh would it seem
It's not of by pretending you're a dancer with grace
You wiggle till they giggle and all over the place
And then you get a great big custard pie in the face
Make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh!
They'll be standing in lines
For those old honky tonk monkey shines
ahahahahahahahahahaha!
Make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh!
Make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh!

She loves you right now, so don't close your eyes
She'll be talking and laughing, with six other guys
Flirtatious and cute she'll take you in a group

He loves her so much
He don't wanna loose her
And there's no other girl he likes to ball better
But he's busy tonight

He's telling his little girl lies
That's how the little girl lies
He's telling his little girl lies
Those little girl lies gonna catch up to you, and you'll be sorry
Making excuses why she can't meet you later
She's not really ill someone else got to date her
Mixed up and confused it'll catch up to you

She's been telling you little girl lies

The Ballad Of Melody Nelson

Pour l'amitié
L'amitié entre hommes et femmes
Impensable
Parce que, il y a toujours
Sous jacent
Le désir animal
This is the story of
Melody Nelson
Apart from me no one
Ever took her in his arms
Under her thumb
Eyes in the sun
Oh my Melody mine
Oh my Melody mine
She has nothing but love
Poor
Melody Nelson
Her life was more said than done
But her days were numbered
(?Nil?) Count fourteen falls
Fifteen on calls
A baby tiger was
Melody Nelson
Forever purring in the sun
Just as dangerous as a child
With a gun, shooting me down
Oh my Melody mine
Melody Nelson
Still playing hurting games for fun
As adorable as dumb
Deaf to the sound
To what's going down
Down
Down

Little Girl Gone
Little Girl Gone
Composer(s): Donna Fargo
Performer(s): Donna Fargo
It just took a little while
For me to get my head together
Growing up's the hardest thing I've ever done
Here I am like a stranger
In the house I grew up in
And learned right from wrong and if I did
Where the sun never shined enough
And daddy's growing older
And mother's never dying, but she did
And I remember feeling guilty
Cause I couldn't wait to leave here
Though I loved them every way that I knew how
So I packed up all my yesterdays
And headed for tomorrow
It's almost tomorrow now
And daddy's little girl is home
But where's the little girl gone
She bundled up her dirty jeans
The teenie bopper magazines
In search of what her life was all about
With a little rag doll named Charlie Brown
And an old suit case full of hand me downs
And a loneliness she knew so much about
And now the dreams that I trusted
And all the play things have rusted
But here I am a woman, somehow
And all those growing pains of yesterday
Are gonna get me through tomorrow
Cause it's almost tomorrow now
And daddy's little girl is home
But where's the little girl gone
She bundled up her dirty jeans
The teenie bopper magazines
In search of what her life was all about
With a little rag doll named Charlie Brown
And an old suit case full of hand me downs
And a loneliness she knew so much about
Oh, but I can still remember
When I used to gaze out this window
Wondering who I was and what I would become
And it just took a little while for me
To get my head together
Growing up's the hardest thing I've ever done
Ah, yes, I can still remember
When I used to gaze out this window
Wondering who I was and what I would become
And it just took a little while for me
To get my head together
Growing up's the hardest thing I've ever done

Make Believe
Composer(s): Jack Shilkret; Benny Davis
Performer(s): Nora Bayes
and various other artists
There are times when you feel sad and blue
Something's wrong, you don't know what to do
When you feel that way, stop and think awhile
Just make believe and smile
Make believe you are glad when you're sorry
Sunshine will follow the rain
When things go wrong, it won't be long
Soon they'll be right again
Tho' your love dreams have gone, make believe, don't let on
Smile tho' your heart may be broken
For when bad luck departs, you will find good luck starts
Don't grieve, just make believe
When your dearest friends have turned away
And blue skies above have turned to gray
Don't worry for it may not all be true
Here's my advice to you
Make believe you are glad when you're sorry
Sunshine will follow the rain
When things go wrong, it won't be long
Soon they'll be right again
Tho' your love dreams have gone, make believe, don't let on
Smile tho' your heart may be broken
For when bad luck departs, you will find good luck starts
Don't grieve, just make believe

Little Girl Feeling
Little Girl Feeling
Composer(s): Helen Cornelius - Jerry Crutchfield
Performer(s): Barbara Fairchild
I put on my faded blue jeans, the patches on the pockets
Tied yellow ribbons 'round the pigtails in my hair
Walked barefoot 'neath the sunshine, stopped to pick a flower
But that little girl feeling wasn't there
Can't find that little girl feeling
It's not the same anymore
I just can't hook it, yesterday took it
Since you came in and out my door
Can't find the feeling anymore
I got out all my old records by Elvis and the Beatles
Called my best friend and we talked an hour or so
Thought back through childhood memories, trying to forget you
But still those big girl heartaches wouldn't go
I went out to see a movie, sat right on the front row
Ate a box of popcorn and I cheered the hero on
But when the show was over I just went to pieces
That little girl feeling was gone
Can't find that little girl feeling
It's not the same anymore
I just can't hook it, yesterday took it
Since you came in and out my door
Can't find the feeling anymore

Make Believe (Jimmie Lunceford)
Make Believe
Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Jimmie Lunceford
and various other artists
The game of "just supposing" is the sweetest game I know
Our dreams are more romantic than the world we see
And if the things we dream about don't happen to be so
That's just an unimportant technicality....
We could make believe I love you
Only make believe that you love me
Others find peace of mind in pretending
Couldn't you? Couldn't I? Couldn't we
Make believe our lips are blending
In a phantom kiss, or two, or three?
Might as well make believe I love you
For to tell the truth, I do
Your pardon I pray, 'twas too much to say
The words that betray my heart
We only pretend, you do not offend
In playing a lover's part
Though the cold and brutal fact is you and I have never met
We need not mind convention's P's and Q's
If we put our thoughts in practice we can banish all regret
Imagining most anything we choose....
We could make believe I love you
Only make believe that you love me
Others find peace of mind in pretending
Couldn't you? Couldn't I? Couldn't we
Make believe our lips are blending
In a phantom kiss or two, or three?
Might as well make believe I love you
For to tell the truth, I do

Little Girl Blue
Little Girl Blue
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Lorenz Hart
First performance by: Gloria Grafton - 1935
Covered by multiple other artists
When I was very young
The world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel
The circus tent was strung
With every star in the sky
Above the ring I loved so well
Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the tinsel and gold
Sit there, and count your fingers
What can you do?
Old girl, you're through
Sit there, and count your little fingers
Unlucky, litle girl blue
Sit there, and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on is the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
No use, old girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender
Blue boy
To cheer little girl blue?
No use, old girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender
Blue boy
To cheer little girl blue?

Make A Little Magic
Make A Little Magic
Composer(s): Bob Carpenter; Jeff Hanna; Richard Hathaway
Performer(s): The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band; Nicolette Larson
I don't need the same excuses
All this talk is really useless
You run for cover
Everytime I'm close to you
Don't want to hear about the others
There's something here we should discover
Let's make a little magic
Before the night is through
Oh, you've seen it all before
And heard the same lines
But if you're willing to take a chance
It could be all right, so fine
We'll find ourselves dancing by firelight
So don't you try to change the subject
Or try to put yourself above it
A boy could get pneumonia sitting next to you
That's true
A little sleep is all we're losing
It's up to us to do the choosing
Let's make a little magic before the night is through
Make a little magic before the night is through
Ooh, to the blue skies
Where no one can reach us
It may sound crazy but just hold on tight
Never has a love run deeper
Baby my heart is true
Baby my heart is true
A little sleep is all we're losing
It's up to us to do the choosing
Let's make a little magic before the night is through

Hey, little girl, you don't have to hide nothin' no more
You didn't do nothin' that hadn't been done before

She thought she'd get away with goin' out on me, yeah
Other girls did it, you didn't think of nothin' new
You went out on me, so other girls did it too
You can leave, little girl, I don't want you 'round no more
If you come knockin', you won't get past my door... yeah!
You got nothin' to hide and everybody knows it's true

Bob Laswell; Speedy Price
Performer(s): John & Jonie Mosby
You make a left and then a right
Go down three blocks, look for a light
And if it's on, come on in
But if it's off, he's home again
I met an old friend the other night
We danced so close, she held me tight
I love you but I'm tied down
Here's my address, please come around
You make a left and then a right
Go down three blocks, look for a light
And if it's on, come on in
But if it's off, he's home again
He's there again so I'll go on
I'll try tomorrow, he may be gone
If he's out drinking, he won't be home
So I'm sure I'll be alone
You make a left and then a right
Go down three blocks, look for a light
And if it's on, come on in
But if it's off, he's home again
You make a left and then a right
Go down three blocks, look for a light
And if it's on, come on in
But if it's off, he's home again

Major Barbara sits in the fields
And waits for her crops to grow

So many, many years ago

First release by: Donny Hathaway - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists
Little ghetto boy, playing in the ghetto street
Whatcha' gonna do when you grow up
and have to face responsiblity?
Will you spend your days and nights in the pool room?
Will you sell caps of madness to the neighborhood?
Little ghetto boy
You already know how proud life can be
'cause you've seen so much pain and misery
Little ghetto boy
Your daddy was blown away
He robbed that grocery store
Don't you know that was a sad, sad old day?
All your young life
You've seen such misery and pain
The world is a cruel place to live
and it ain't gonna change
You're so young
You've got so far to go on
and don't think you'll reach your goal
Young man, little ghetto boy, look at you
Little ghetto boy
When, when, when you become a man
you can make things change if you just take the stand
You gotta believe it yourself in all you do
You've gotta fight to make it better
then you will see how others will start believing to
Then, my son, things will start to get better
Everything has got to get better
Everything has got to get better ...

Performer(s): Georges Guétary
and various other artists
Il fait bon chez vous maître Pierre
Il fait bon dans votre moulin
Le froment vol' dans la lumière
Et partout ça sent bon le grain
J'avais douze ans et j'étais haut comme trois pommes
Qu'en me voyant vous me disiez d'un ton bonhomme
Voyez-moi ce sacré p'tit drôle
Le métier lui semble à son goût
Prends ce sac, mets-le sur l'épaule
Maître Pierre, il fait bon chez vous
Hardi! Hardi petit gars
Bonnet sur l'œil, sourire aux lèvres
Hardi! tant qu'il a deux bras
Un bon meunier ne s'arrête pas
Il fait bon chez vous maître Pierre
Je m'souviens de mes dix-huit ans
Votre fille était écolière
Que déjà, moi je l'aimais tant
Et quand plus tard je l'épousai devenue grande
Tout le village est venu danser dans la grange
Et toujours de ses grandes ailes
Le moulin continue tout doux
Le tic-tac de son cœur fidèle
Maître Pierre, il fait bon chez vous
Hardi! Hardi petit gars
Bonnet sur l'œil, sourire aux lèvres
Hardi! tant qu'il a deux bras
Un bon meunier ne s'arrête pas
Il fait bon chez vous maître Pierre
A trente ans j'aimais mon métier
J'adorais ma jolie meunière
C'est alors que vous nous quittiez
Mais quand du ciel vous regardez par la campagne
Tous ce moulins tournant du Nord à la Bretagne
Vous pensez avec un sourire
Qu'on est là pour en mettre un coup
Et qu'on a bien raison de dire
Maître Pierre il fait bon chez vous
Hardi! Hardi petit gars
Bonnet sur l'œil, sourire aux lèvres
Hardi! tant qu'il a deux bras
Un bon meunier ne s'arrête pas
