Good Old Days
Good Old Days
Composer(s): Weird Al Yankovic
Performer(s): Weird Al Yankovic
Oh some times I think back to when I was younger
Life was so much simpler then
Dad would be up at dawn
He'd be watering the lawn
Or maybe going fishing again
Oh and mom would be fixing up something in the kitchen
Fresh biscuits or hot apple pie
And I'd spend all day long in the basement
Torturing rats with a hack-saw
And pulling the wings off of flies
Those were the good old days
Those were the good old days
The years go by but the memory stays
And those were the good old days
I can still remember good old Mr. Fender
Who ran the corner grocery store
Oh, he'd strolled down the aisle with a big friendly smile
And he'd say "Howdy" when you walked in the door
Always treated me nice, gave me kindly advice
I don't know why I set fire to his place
Oh I'll never forget the day I bashed in his head
Well you should've seen the look on his face
Let me tell ya now
Those were the good old days
Those were the good old days
The years go by but the memory stays
And those were the good old days
Do you remember sweet Michelle
She was my high school romance
She was fun to talk to and nice to smell
So I took her to the homecoming dance
Then I tied her to a chair and I shaved off all her hair
And I left her in the desert all alone
Well sometimes in my dreams
I can still hear the screams
Oh I wonder if she ever made it home
I tell ya
Those were the good old days
Those were the good old days
The years go by but the memory stays
And those were the good old days
Let me tell ya buddy
Those were the good old days
Those were the good old days
The years go by but the memory stays
And those were the good old days

Tea For Two
Tea For Two
((French Version: Thé Pour Deux (Jack Lantier))
Composer(s): Vincent Youmans - Irving Caesar
First performance: Louis Groody & John Barker - 1924
Covered by multiple other artists
Picture you upon my knee
Just tea for two and two for tea
Just me for you
And you for me alone
Nobody near us
To see us or hear us
No friends or relations
On weekend vacations
We won't have it known, dear
That we own a telephone, dear
Day will break and you'll awake
And start to bake a sugar cake
For me to take
For all the boys to see
We will raise a family
A boy for you, a girl for me
Oh, can't you see
How happy we would be?

My Destiny (Lionel Richie)
My Destiny
Performer(s): Lionel Richie
You came in
That's what my little heart was looking for
Laughter in the rain
Feeling like a fool in love again!
Oh the laughter came
When the tears stopped falling
Now all I do is just call your name
(When I say lover)
You walked in and my heart discovered
That my life would never be the same
Oh you are my destiny
You are my one and only
You gave that joy to me
When my whole life was lonely!
Angel in disguise
With your power of love you just hypnotize
I just love the magic of your spell
How much joy we have together
Only time will tell!
Oh the laughter came
When the tears stopped falling
Now all I do is just call your name
(I just call your name)
You walked in and my heart discovered
That my life would never be the same!
I know you are my destiny
You are my one and only
You gave that joy to me
When my whole life was lonely!
Every day every night
Oh I know it's so right
When I see your face
Only times gonna tell
But I know you so well
Girl my loves for real
From the first time that I saw you
I know it was forever
This mighty love between us
Will keep us together
You're the girl god sent from heaven
I'm so glad I found you
Forever forever forever forever
Forever Forever!
I'm so glad to be around you
You are my destiny
You are my one and only
You gave that joy to me
When my whole world was lonely!
It's alright it's alright
Do it again!
It's alright it's alright
Don't let this love end!
It's alright it's alright
Do it again!
It's alright it's alright
Don't let this love end!
From the first time that I saw you
I knew it was forever
This mighty love between us
Will keep us together
You're the girl god sent from heaven
I'm so glad I found you
Forever forever forever
Forever forever forever
I'm so glad to be around you!
You are my destiny
You are my one and only
You gave that joy to me
When my whole world was lonely!

It's alright it's alright
Don't let this love end!

Good Night: Sleep Tight Medley
Good Night: Sleep Tight Medley
Composer(s): Sylvia Fine
Performer(s): Danny Kaye & Louis Armstrong
(Louis)
Goodnight, time to call it a day
Sleep tight, dream your troubles away
Goodnight, in spite of any sorrow
There's a brand new day on it's way tomorrow
Someday, all your dreams will come true
Someway, for me and you
So close your eyes and dream of it my darling
Till then goodnight, goodnight, sleep tight
(Louis repeats, Danny joins in with Lullabye in Ragtime)
Won't you play the music so the cradle can rock
To a lullbye in ragtime
Sleepy hands are creeping to the end of the clock
Play a lullabye in ragtime
You can tell the sandman is on his way
By the way that they play
As still as the trill of a thrush
In a twilight hush
So you can hear
The rythym of the river on the side of the boat
As you sail away to dreamland
High above the moon you hear a silvery note
As the sand man takes your hand
So rock-a-bye my baby
Don't you cry my baby
Sleepy time is nigh
Won't you rock me to a ragtime lullabye
Danny: Now comes the hard part, baby
Do you suppose you can sing "Five Pennies" while
Pops and I sing something else?
Girl: Sure, I can sing as good as he can.
Louis: And who can't?
(Louis repeats Goodnight, Sleep Tight; Danny repeats Lullaby in Ragtime; Girl sings Five Pennies)
This little penny is to wish on
And make your wishes come true
This little peeny is to dream on
Dream of all you can do
Thislittle is a dancing penny
See how it glitters and it glows
Bright as a whistle
Light as a thistle
Quick, quick as a wink
Up on it's twinkling toes
This little penny is to laugh on
To see that tears never fall
This this little penny
Is the last little penny
Most important of all
For this penny is to love on
And where love is, heaven is there
So with just five pennies, if they're these five pennies
You'll be a millionaire
For this penny is to love on
And where love is, heaven is there
So with just five pennies, if they're these five pennies
You'll be a millionaire

Composer(s): Vincent Youmans - Irving Caesar - Roger Ferréol - R. de Simone - Colline - Merry
Performer(s): Jack Lantier
Si, comme plus d’un amant
J’ai rêvé fréquemment
D’un bel appartement
Jamais ne suis-je arrivé
A pouvoir le trouver
L’appartement rêvé
Nous aurons loin de la ville
Un coin tranquille
Meilleur marché
Là quand nous serons nichés
On pourra nous chercher
Nous saurons nous cacher
Je vous vois déjà chez nous
Buvant le thé sur mes genoux
Avec du cake
Et des p’tits gâteaux secs!
Ah! Quel bonheur!
Se sentir sans gêneur
Tous les deux nez à nez
Sans la bonn’
Sans personne
À qui téléphoner!
Rien que nous vraiment seuls
Bien seuls
Seuls!
Le p’tit jour me surprendra
Vous préparant du chocolat!
Ce jour là comme les autres jours!
Toujours!
Et final’ment, certain’ment
Comm’nous aurons beaucoup d’enfants
Voyez tous deux
Comm’ nous serons heureux
Vrai, je trouve en le jugeant
Que ce plan diligent
Est des plus enrageants!
C’est comm’ vous le devinez
Pour vous déterminer
Que je l’ai combiné
Je trouve tout admirable
Mais, raisonnable
À votre tour
Veuillez bien attendre pour
Abriter notre amour
Que j’aie choisi mon jour
Je me vois déjà chez nous
Buvant du thé sur vos genoux
Moi calme et gai
Bien qu’un peu fatigué
Ah! quel bonheur!
Ah! quel bonheur!
Se sentir sans gêneur
Tous les deux nez à nez
Sans la bonn’
Sans personne
À qui téléphoner!
Rien que nous vraiment seuls
Bien seuls
Seuls!
Au grand jour on me verra
Reprisant des trous dans vos bas
Ce jour là comm’ les autres jours
Toujours!
Et final’ment, certain’ment
Comm’ nous aurons beaucoup d’enfants
Voyez tous deux
Comm’nous serons heureux!

My Destiny (Billy Eckstine)
My Destiny
Composer(s): Livingstone; Mack David
Performer(s): Billy Eckstine
My destiny is to be in love with you
Makes no difference what you say or do
I must stay in love with you
That’s my destiny
It’s the thing you can’t control
I belong to you both heart and soul
With a love beyond control
They say nothing is sure
Even the sea runs dry
They’re wrong, one thing is sure
Love like mine can never die
That’s how it is
And that’s how it has to be
You are everything in life to me
You are my destiny
That’s how it is
And that’s how it has to be
You are everything in life to me
You are my destiny

Good Night (Eastman/Heltman)
Good Night
Composer(s): A.H. Eastman; Fred Heltman
The moon is beaming with a mystic glow
The lights are gleaming where the ripples flow
All nature's dreaming in the vale below
The night is come and we must part
Oh let there be once more a fond embrace
My heart with thee has found a resting place
And now I see the love light in your face
The mirror of your heart
The stars are shining in the heav'ns above
My heart is pining for the one I love
The leaves entwining call the gentle dove
To find her nest in shadows deep
A stillness hovers o'er the garden fair
And darkness covers every blossom there
Oh, why should lovers leave a spot so rare?
But 'tis the hour of sleep
Good night, my love, the shadows gently fall
The stars above are watching over all
The dying embers glow
The winds are whisp'ring soft and low
Goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, my love, goodnight
Goodnight, my love, goodnight

Composer(s): Robert Plant - Jimmy Page
First release by: Led Zeppelin - 1976
How come twenty-four hours
Baby, sometimes seem to slip into, slip into days
Oh, twenty-four hours
Baby, sometimes seem to slip into days
When a minute seems like a lifetime
Ohh baby, when I feel this way
Sittin, lookin at the clock
Oh, time moves so slow
I've been watchin for the hands to move
Until I just can't look no more
How come twenty-four hours
Baby, sometimes seems to slip into days
A minute seems like a lifetime
Baby, when I feel this way
To sing a song for you
I recall you used to say
Oh baby, this one's for we too.
Which in the end is you anyway
How come twenty-four hours
Baby, sometimes slip into days
A minute seems like a lifetime
Oh baby, when I feel this way
There was a time that I stood tall
In the eyes of other men
But by my own choice I left you woman
And now I can't get back again
How come twenty-four hours
Sometimes slip into days
Well well well well
A minute seems like a lifetime
Baby, when I feel this way, yeah
A minute seems like a lifetime
Oh baby, when I feel this way, I feel this way

Good Morning, Good Morning
Good Morning, Good Morning
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
Performer(s): The Beatles;
and various other artists
Nothing to do to save his life call his wife in
Nothing to say but what a day how's your boy been
Nothing to do it's up to you
I've got nothing to say but it's OK
Going to work don't want to go feeling low down
Heading for home you start to roam then you're in town
Everybody knows there's nothing doing
Everything is closed it's like a ruin
Everyone you see is half asleep
And you're on your own you're in the street
After a while you start to smile now you feel cool
Then you decide to take a walk by the old school
Nothing has changed it's still the same
I've got nothing to say but it's OK
People running round it's five o'clock
Everywhere in town is getting dark
Everyone you see is full of life
It's time for tea and meet the wife
Somebody needs to know the time, glad that I'm here
Watching the skirts you start to flirt now you're in gear
Go to a show you hope she goes
I've got nothing to say but it's OK
Good morning, morning, oh hoo!

Christmas Together
Christmas Together
Performer(s): Walter Brennan
(That's why we're all together)
(That's why there's Christmas Day)
Christmas time in our family
Hasn't changed at all
We even start lookin' forward to it
Way back in the Fall
'Cause if'n the good Lord's a-willin'
I don't care how bad the weather
Christmas is the one time o' year
We all spend together
Now Ma starts a-bakin'
I set out to find a tree
It seems like that's the one job
That's always left to me
Then, when they all start arrivin'
You can just feel the spirit mount
Ev'ry year there's a few more grand-young'uns
Heh-heh, I give up tryin' to count
Christmas Eve, after supper
We all help trim the tree
Then all the kiddies gather 'round
There's a couple on my knee
And Grandma smiles from her rockin' chair
She knows I'm in my glory
Then ev'ryone wants to hear
My fav'rite Christmas story
How angels sang of a Christ child
The news spread near and far
The three wise men who came to see
Were guided by a star
They found him there in a manger
Asleep on a bed of hay
That's why we're all together
That's why there's a Christmas Day
By this time their little heads would start to nod
And off to bed they'd go
Hopin' Santa wouldn't have no trouble
A-gettin' through the snow
An' then they'd have us up at the crack o' dawn
We'd gather 'round the tree, heh-heh
Yeah, I'd get the usual pair o' socks
That Grandma knits for me
No, Christmas in our family
Hasn't changed at all
When we sit down to dinner
We offer thanks for all
'Cause if the good Lord's willin'
I don't care how bad the weather
Christmas Day's the one time o' the year
We always spend together

Performer(s): Mary Ellis
and various other artists
My dearest dear
If I could say to you
In words as clear
As when I play to you
You'd understand
How slight the shadow that is holding us apart
So take my hand
I'll lead the way for you
A little waiting and you'll reach my heart
Your lonely hours will spread their wings and fly
The passing show'rs will only pass you by
If you can trust me, trust the secret in my song
When love is true
The road is never long
My dearest dear
If I could say to you
In words as clear
As when I play to you
You'd understand
How slight the shadow that is holding us apart
So take my hand
I'll lead the way for you
A little waiting and you'll reach my heart

Tea And Sympathy
Tea And Sympathy
((Dutch Version: Voor Nu En Altijd (Conny Vandenbos) - 1980))
Composer(s): Janis Ian
First release by: Janis Ian - 1975
I don't want to ride
The milk train anymore
I'll go to bed at nine
And waken with the dawn
Have lunch at half passed noon
Dinner prompt at five
The comfort of a few old friends
Long passed their prime
Pass the tea and sympathy
For the good ol' days long gone
Let's drink a toast to those who most
Believe in what they want
It's a long, long time 'til mornin'
Lays wasted on the dawn
I'll not write another line
For my true love is gone
When the guest have done
I'll tidy up the room
I'll turn the covers down
And gazing at the moon
I'll pray to go quite mad
And live in long ago
Where you and I were once
So very long ago
Pass the tea and sympathy
For the good ole'days long gone
Let's drink a toast
To those who most
Believe in what they want
It's a long, long time 'til morning
Lays wasted on the dawn
I'll not write another line
For my true love is gone
When I have no dreams
To give you anymore
I'll lite a blazing fire
And wait within the door
And throw my life away
"I wonder why?", they all will say
Now I lay me down to sleep
Forever and a day
Pass the tea and sympathy
For the good ol' days are dead
Let's drink a toast to those who best
surrvived the life they've led
It's a long, long time 'til mornin'
So build your fires high
Now I lay me down to sleep
Forever by your side
