Rainbow On The River
Rainbow On The River (aka It Happened In New Orleans)
Composer(s): Louis Alter; Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): Perry Como;
and various other artists
There's a rainbow on the river
the skies are clearing . . .
You'll soon be hearing a heavenly song
all the day long . . .
When there's a rainbow on the river
the birds are mating . . .
They're busy dating each other above
happy in love . . .
Let's you and I go sailing
along the rippling stream . . .
Holding hands together
together we'll dream . . .
With a rainbow on the river
you get the feeling . . .
Romance is stealing right out of the blue
into your heart . . .

Feel The Passion
Feel The Passion
Composer(s): Shpëtim Saraçi - Sokol Marsi
First performance: Aurela Gaçe - 2011
Feel my heart, feel the words beat low
I sing my song and the echo flows
And wherever I go, I just want you to know
You're the blood in my veins and the love in my soul
You are my wave rippling over sea
You dry my tears and you make me grieve
But wherever I go, I just want you to know
My moment in time, oh sweet song of mine, eh...
I'm like an eagle in the open sky
I'll never land, I'm flying high
Let me share my song with you, just feel the passion
Love's the message shining through, a chain reaction
It brings my heaven down to earth and this is why
It drives me mad but it gives me life, I'm free to fly, eh...
And when I feel that I thirst for you
I dab my lips with your morning dew
But wherever I go, I just want you to know
Sweet song, live forever and I'll live with you, eh...
I'm like an eagle in the open sky
I'll never land, I'm flying high
Let me share my song with you, just feel the passion
Love's the message shining through, a chain reaction
It brings my heaven down to earth and this is why
It drives me mad but it gives me life, I'm free to fly, eh...
(Let me share my song with you, just feel the passion)
(Love's the message shining through, I'm free to fly)
Zot, qe këngën ma ke fal, më lerë të ndarë
Nuk ka ngjyrë e nuk ka fjalë, muret s'e mbajnë
It brings my heaven down to earth and this is why
It drives me mad but it gives me life, I'm free to fly, eh...
(Let me share my song with you, just feel the passion) Yeah...

Rainbow At Midnight
Rainbow At Midnight
Composer(s): John Miller
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb;
and various other artists
After the war was over
I was coming home to you
I saw a rainbow at midnight
Out on the ocean blue
The stars in heaven were shining
The moon gave its light from above
I saw your face in this rainbow
And it made me think of our love
We’ll build a home in the country
And make all our dreams come true
There we’ll make a heaven
Sweetheart just for we two
Here we will live so happy
And have a baby or two
We’ll name them after the rainbow
Because it reminds me of you
After this life is over
And our journey here is trough
We’ll move to the land of the rainbow
And live in the starry blue

Checkers
Checkers
Composer(s): Edgar Allen - Leo. Edwards
Checkers was the nervy fellow's name
Who picked no winners in the racing game
Until his sweetheart picked the winning horse
And rode to fame and fortune on Remorse
He played the game and won out in the end
And here is what he told me like a friend
From the photo play you will observe
Fortune comes to those who most deserve
When Checkers' fate seemed but an idle guess
Love took the mount and rode it to success
Your horse may balk and leave you at the start
You're sure to win whenever you lead a heart
Life is like a game of checkers, just a game we play
Every move we make means loss or gain
Like a jockey in the racing game
some are driven to a corner throw their stakes away
Only love can lift their crosses
Make them all forget their losses
Life is like a game of checkers
Every one must play

Rainbow
Rainbow
Composer(s): Russ Hamilton
Performer(s): George Hamilton IV
Rainbow, rainbow, rainbow
I'm saving my money to buy you a rainbow
A rainbow, to fit on your finger
And after I've gone and bought you the rainbow
I'll go out and I'll buy you the moon
When we go walking side by side in the moonlight
We count the stars as we go strolling by
Maybe one day we'll own those beautiful diamonds
That glisten like the teardrops from your eyes
You know how I feel on a moment like this
When hand in hand, when we reminisce
Your eyes seem to glow when you whisper low
I really love you
I'm saving my money to buy you a rainbow
A rainbow, to fit on your finger
And after I've gone and bought you the rainbow
I'll go out and I'll buy you the moon
And after I've gone and bought you the rainbow
I'll go out and I'll buy you the moon
I'll go out and I'll buy you the moon
Rainbow, rainbow, rainbow

The Magic Piper (Of Love)
The Magic Piper (Of Love)
Composer(s): Edwyn Collins
Performer(s): Edwyn Collins
I'm through with love hangovers
It's best that I stay sober
No rolling in the clover
No Gretna Green trip over
No honeymoon in Paris
I only feel embarrassed
For the cool cats
The charmed kittens
Both smitten by the love songs
That he's written
Caught in the sights
Of a deadly sniper
The magic piper of love
The magic piper of love
Of love, of love
My girlfriend, she go blotto
Of cunnings and his grotto
It turns out he's a dirty old man
The nice place that I want to be
Is sat up on this Christmas tree
While playing these games of
Catch as catch can
'Cause he's a sweet talker
A silent stalker
All the savvy of a street walker
More deadly than a horned viper
The magic piper of love
The magic piper of love
Of love, of love
He's a heart breaker
A mover and a shaker
The magic piper of love
It's kind of hard to swallow
You know you've gotta follow
The magic piper of love
'Cause he's a city slicker
An expert politic-er
The magic piper of love
Of love, of love
Of love, of love
Of love, of love

Check Yourself
Check Yourself
Composer(s): Al Bryant - David English - Berry Gordy Jr. - Otis Williams
Performer(s): The Temptations
and multiple other artists
Otis (& then Melvin):
By and by, you knew that you make me cry
(By and by, knew you'd make me cry)
And my love for you will never die
(My love will never, never die)
But I had to find out on my own
(Check yourself, check yourself)
Paul:
Aww, that's what they told me
(Check yourself, check yourself)
I paid no mind
(Check yourself, check yourself)
I kept on breaking hearts
(Check yourself, check yourself)
All down the line
(Check yourself, check yourself)
Sometimes you just got to lose
That's when you pay your dues
I guess I was a fool, I guess I was a fool
To think that... you'd stayed so true
Aww, I really played in the game
(Check yourself, check yourself)
I'd always win
(Check yourself, check yourself)
Now the tables turn
(Check yourself, check yourself)
And I'm on the losing end
(Check yourself, check yourself)
Oh don't, feel sorry
I had it coming, it's true
'Cause I'm losing, yes, I'm losing, I'm losing you
Before I go, I'd like for you to know
You've had my heart from the very start
But there's one more thing, before we part
And that's I'm sorry, sorry, sorry to my heart
Aww, I'm on my sad way
(Check yourself, check yourself)
Because I know I'd lost your love
(Check yourself, check yourself)
I'll kick it, like a pass
(Check yourself, check yourself)
But I'll be thinking of....
The good times
(The good times)
The bad times
(The bad times)
But good or bad, happy or sad
Of memories
(Memories)
Sweet, sweet memories
(Memories)
Aww, memories... are all I have
Aww, that's what they told me
(Check yourself, check yourself)
That's what they told me
(Check yourself, check yourself)
That's what they... what they told me
(Check yourself, check yourself)
Hmmm...

Rain, Rain, Rain
Rain, Rain, Rain
Composer(s): Bernard Toorish
Performer(s): Frankie Laine; The Four Lads
Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain, rain
Well, didn't it rain children
God's gonna send new orders from Zion
He's good raise his heaven up higher
It's gonna rain
Well stop! Great God, stop still and listen
My God walked down by the briny sea
Beheld the evil of the sinful Man
Declared that he would destroy the land
He spoke to Noah, Noah stopped
He said, Noah I want you to build an ark
And I want you to build it big and strong
Build it three hundred cubits along
Thirty high and fifty wide
Cause it's got to stand that rain and tide
Well, rain children
God's gonna send new orders from Zion
He's good raise his heaven up higher
It's gonna rain
Well, after God told him what to do
Noah began to cut and hew
The ringing of the saw cried "Judgement"
The ringing of the hammer cried "Sinner repent"
A hundred years he hammered and sawed
Building the Ark by the Grace of God
After the foundation was laid
He hewed the timber and the Ark was made
Lord, let it rain
Behold the Ark is made
Well he called in the animals two by two
The ox, the camel, and the kangaroo
Well they called in Japeth, Ham and Shem
And God began to flood the land
He raised his hands to heaven on high
He knocked the sun, the moon from the sky
Shook the mountains around the sea
And he hitched his reins to the chariot wheel
Stepped on the land and stood on the shore
And declared that time would be no more
Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain
Oh, Noah, Noah, didn't it rain
Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain, rain
My Lord had to wait until the float and the Ark did rock
And Noah couldn't find nowhere to dock
My God spoke and he whispered low
Showed old Noah where he wanted him to go
He said, "Lookit here, Noah, the rain's done stopped
And I want you to land on the mountaintop"
He showed old Noah a rainbow sign
Said it won't be a rain but fire next time
Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain
Oh, Noah, Noah, didn't it rain
Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain
Oh, Noah, Noah, didn't it rain

The Mad Hatter's Song
The Mad Hatter's Song
Composer(s): Robin Williamson
Performer(s): The Incredible String Band
Oh seekers of spring how could you not find contentment
In a time of riddling reasons in this land of the blind
By the joke of fate alone
it's sure that as the loved hand leaves you
You clutch for the slip-stream, the realness to find
But do what you like, do what you like, do what you like
do what you like, do what you like, do what you can
do what you can, live till you die
My poor little man
For Jesus will stretch out his hand no more
But in the south there's many a waving tree
Oh would that musky fingers move your pain
In the warm south winds the lost flowers bloom again
And if you cried, you know you'd fill a lake with tears
Still wouldn't turn back the years
Since the city has took you
Mad Hatter is on my mind
So sad, sad to see the way it grew
Those other people that I knew
That have either fell or faltered
Mad Hatter is on my mind
And you must have to see clear some time
Prometheus the problem child
still juggling with his brains
Gives his limping leopard's visions
to the miser in his veins
Within the ruined factory is the normal soul insane
As he sets the sky beneath his heel
And learns away the pain
But I am the archer the lover of laughter
And mine is the arrowed flight
I am the archer, and my eyes yearn after the unsullied sight
Born of the dark waters of the daughters of night
Dancing without movement after the clear light
Oh Perithian fate be kind in the rumbling and trundling rickshaw of time
Hooked by the heart to the king fisher's line
I will set my one eye for the shores of the blind

Cheatin' On You
Cheatin' On You
Composer(s): Jon Cleary
Performer(s): Taj Mahal; Jon Cleary & The Absolute Monster Gentlemen
It's the end to all my high jinks
It's the end to all my capers
Sort of a three-way story
The kind you'd read about in the Sunday papers
Thought I was getting over
Having both cakes and eatin' `em too
But to my surprise, my slice on the side
Been eatin' the forbidden fruit
Oh, I been cheatin' on you
I been cheatin' on you
Been cheatin' on you with somebody's
Been cheatin' on me
Thought I was Jimmy Slick (yeah, I thought that)
Thought I was Charlie Cool (thought that too)
But I'm just Sammy Stupid
My friends call me Freddy Fool
Wooooo, Cupid played a trick on me
Turned the duper into the duped
I'm so surprised to find my slice on the side
Been eatin' the forbidden fruit
Oh, I been cheatin' on you
I been cheatin' on you
I been cheatin' on you with somebody's
Been cheatin' on me
Wooooo, Cupid played a trick on me
Turned the duper into the duped
I'm so surprised to find my slice on the side
Been eatin' the forbidden fruit
I been cheatin' on you
I been cheatin' on you
I been cheatin' on you with somebody's
Been cheatin' on me
Baby, Baby been cheatin' on you
Cheatin' on you
I been cheatin' on you
Been cheatin' on you with somebody's
Been cheatin' on me
Cheatin' on you with somebody's
Been cheatin' on me
Cheatin' on you with somebody's
Been cheatin' on me
Cheatin' on you with somebody's
Been cheatin' on me

Rain, Rain Go Away
Composer(s): Noel Regney; Gloria Shayne
Performer(s): Bobby Vinton
I can still remember
When you moved in next door
I brought you some choc'late
From the corner candy store
When it started raining
You started crying too
That was the first time
I sang this song to you
Rain rain go away
Come again some other day
Rain rain go away
Bring my love a sunny day
We grow up together
And as the years went by
Ev'rybody knew that we were
Sweethearts you and I
Through many april showers
I held your hand in mine
Between the raindrops
We sang time after time
Rain rain go away
Come again some other day
Rain rain go away
Bring my love a sunny day
I went away to college
You said you'd wait for me
Then I got your letter
Asking me to set you free
Tomorrow you'll be maried
There's nothing I can do
But wish you sunshine
Now and your whole life through
Rain rain go away
Tomorrow is her wedding day
Rain rain go away
Bring my love a sunny day

The Lusty Month Of May
The Lusty Month Of May
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe
Performer(s): Julie Andrews
and multiple other artists
Tra la, it's May, the lusty Month of May
That lovely month when everyone goes blissfully astray
Tra la, it's here, that shocking time of year
When tons of wicked little thoughts merrily appear
It's May, It's May, that gorgeous holiday
When every maiden prays that her lad will be a cad
It's mad, it's gay, alive, a lust display
Those dreary vows that everyone takes, everyone breaks
Everyone makes divine mistakes
The Lusty Month of May
Whence this fragrance wafting through the air?
What sweet feelings does it's scent transmute?
Whence this perfume floating everywhere?
Don't you know, it's that dear forbidden fruit
It's May, the lusty month of May
That darling month when everyone throws self-control away
It's time to do a wretched thing or two
And try to make each precious day one you'll always rue
It's May, it's May, the month of "Yes, you may"
The time for every frivolous whim, proper or im-
It's wild, it's gay, depraved in every way
The birds and bees with all of their vast amorous past
Gaze at the human race aghast
The Lusty Month of May
Tra la, it's May, the lusty Month of May
That lovely month when everyone goes blissfully astray
Tra la, it's here, that shocking time of year
When tons of wicked little thoughts merrily appear
It's May, it's may, the month of great dismay
when all the world is brimming with fun, wholesome or un-
It's mad, it's gay, alive a lust display
Those dreary vows that everyone takes, everyone breaks
Everyone makes divine mistakes
The Lusty Month of May

Cheatin' On The Sandman
Composer(s): Sid Carris - Bill McCrystal
Performer(s): Spike Jones
Cheatin' on the sandman, makin' love to you
List'nin' to the band man play his song so blue
Burgers at the drive-in, parkin' by the sea
Makin' love and dreamin', not a soul to see
And Honey, `s we drove through deserted streets
Dark with night's heavenly bloom
We'd stop by the roadside to kiss
Then to drive on too soon
Cheatin' on the sandman, fun when I knew you
Now I'm a lonely blue man missin' makin' love to you

Rain Sometimes
Rain Sometimes
Composer(s): Arthur Hamilton
Performer(s): Matt Monro;
and various other artists
Rain sometimes
Money down the drain, sometimes
Reason to complain, sometimes
That's how it'll be
But there'll be something, sometimes
Lobster flown from Maine, sometimes
We'll ride the gravy train, sometimes
Just you wait and see
We may be stranded in the rain, sometimes
Dream our dreams in vain, sometimes
Lose more than we gain, sometimes
But this I guarantee
Love is not for sometimes
Love is for all time
For all time, for you and me
We may be stranded in the rain, sometimes
Lose more than we gain, sometimes
But this I guarantee
Love is not for sometimes
Love is for all time
For all time, for you and me
For you and me
For you and me

The Lullaby Of Spring
The Lullaby Of Spring
Composer(s): Donovan Leitch
Performer(s): Donovan
Rain has showered far her drip
Splash and trickle running
Plant has flowered in the sand
Shell and pebble sunning
So begins another Spring
Green leaves and of berries
Chiff-chaff eggs are painted by
Mother bird eating cherries
In the misty tangled sky
Fast a wind is blowing
In the new-born rabbit's heart
River life is flowing
So begins another Spring
Green leaves and of berries
Chiff-chaff eggs are painted by
Mother bird eating cherries

Cheatin' Is
Cheatin' Is
Composer(s): Rafe Van Hoy
First release by: Barbara Fairchild - 1976
Covered by multiple other artists
Cheatin' is a thing that starts when you bring two lonely people
face to face with a brand new kiss
She blames him, he blames her
But neither one is ever quite sure which way it really is
And all of the time in the back of their minds,
they know they're gonna have to lie about where they've been
Cheatin' is a thing that'll take a little ring
And break it into pieces that'll never go together again
Cheatin' is the part of loving that starts
when true love isn't what lovers are looking for
A stranger here, a stranger there
Then you turn around and swear that you'll never go back for more
And lying at night, when you're holding him tight,
is something that a cheater's heart just has to learn
Cheatin' is a thing that's guaranteed
to bring two unhappy people to the point of no return
The worst of cheatin' is the sad little kids hanging in the middle
while Mommy and Daddy choose
Cheatin' is a game where nobody wins
And the ones that aren't big enough to play are the ones who lose
