Cherry Red


Cherry Red Composer(s): Pete Johnson - Big Joe Turner First release by: Pete Johnson and His Boogie Woogie Boys - 1939 Covered by multiple other artists



Run here pretty baby, set down on your daddy's knee
I want to tell ev'rybody, how you've been sending me
Now if that's your secret, you can keep it to yourself
'Cause if you tell me, I might tell somebody else

I ain't never loved and I hope I never will
Because a lovin' proposition, will get somebody killed
Lead me pretty baby, 'cause you know I can be led
Squeeze me pretty baby until my face turns cherry red

Rambling Rose


Rambling Rose
Composer(s): Joseph Burke; Joseph Allan McCarthy Jr.
Performer(s): Perry Como



Everyone knows she's a ramblin' rose
she's a beauty growin' wild!
Birds in their nest seem to whistle their best
for mother nature's favourite child!

She's got the kind of affection
that just winds around your heart!
You better run for protection
or she might upset your flower cart!

I hate to disclose that ma ramblin' rose
is gonna meet her Waterloo!
I let her play but she can't get away
'cause I know just what to do!

Anyone knows you can train a rose
to be a clingin' vine!
So, from this day hence, there'll be a picket fence
'round that ramblin' rose of mine!

Now, everyone knows she's a ramblin' rose
she's a beauty growin' wild!
Birds in their nest seem to whistle their best
for mamma nature's favourite child!

She's got the kind of affection
that just winds around your heart!
You'd better run for protection
or she might upset your flower cart!

I hate to disclose that ma ramblin' rose
is gonna meet her Waterloo!
I let her play but she can't get away
'cause I know just what to do!

Anyone knows you can train a rose
to be a clingin' vine!
So, from this day hence, there'll be a picket fence
'round that ramblin' rose of mine!

No One (Maja Keuc)


No One
Composer(s): Matjaž Vlašic - Urša Vlašic
First performance by: Maja Keuc - 2011



And you came to me one night
Like a morning light
Just to hold me tight
Then you left and I was so alone
Saying I should've known
You're no good for me

There's no reason I should cry
No, no baby, I'll survive
I don't care, I don't care

No one will ever hold you tight
No one will ever love you like
Just no one like I do
There is no one, no one

No one will ever treat you right
You're the one who's never satisfied
There is no one like I, like I am

I can feel what you're looking for
I'm not that girl no more
I'm not made of stone
I'm gonna stand on my own
Not gonna break me down
No one will stop me now

No, no, no, no... 'cause life is kind without you
And I know I can make it through without you

Life goes all around
Round and round and round
I feel love for sure
And it's gonna get you

Life goes all around
Spinning all around
Now you want me, don't you

No one will ever hold you tight (Hold you tight)
No one will ever love you like (Love you like)
Now you're back, I can feel your love
Oh yeah, I'm never gonna let you
No one will ever treat you right (Treat you right)
You're the one who's never satisfied (Satisfied)
After all, you can fall,
And there's no one you can reach to

No one will ever, ever love you
No one will ever, ever touch you
No one will ever, ever hold you
Turn around now, just turn around now
If you love me, yeah
No one like me, no one, no one

Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom White


Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom White ((Adapted from: Cerisier Rose Et Pommier Blanc (André Claveau & Jo Boyer & Orch.) - 1950)) Composer(s): Jacques Larue - Luis Guglielmi - Mack David Performer(s): Perez "Prez" Prado & His Orch. (Instr.) - 1954 and multiple other artistss



It's cherry pink and apple blossom white When your true lover comes your way It's cherry pink and apple blossom white The poets say The story goes that once a cherry tree Beside an apple tree did grow And there a boy once met his bride to be Long long ago The boy looked into her eyes, it was a sight to enthrall The breezes joined in their sighs, the blossoms started to fall And as they gently carressed, the lovers looked up to find The branches of the two trees were intertwined And that is why the poets always write If there's a new moon bright above It's cherry pink and apple blossom white When you're in love

Rambling On


Rambling On
Composer(s): Gary Brooker; Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum



Our local picture house
was showing a Batman movie
You see this guy fly up in the sky
thought to myself
'Why shouldn't I?'
So I bought a pair of wings, went up upon a wall
I was about to jump into the air
when a guy from the street called
He said, 'Hey wait a minute!
Don't you realise the danger?
What do you think you are, some kind of angel?'

I considered for a minute
realised he spoke the truth
For the barbells on my eyelids
only emphasised my youth
and the sawdust in my plimsolls
means the same to him as me
But that's neither here nor further
so I spoke considerately
'Now if you understand just what I'm trying to say
whatever you do, don't grin
you'll give the game away!'

By now a crowd had gathered
and it seemed that all was lost
In the anger of the moment
I had diced with death and lost
It seemed to me the time was right
so I burst into song
In the anger of the moment
the crowd began to sing along
I could not see a way out of this predicament
Just then a breeze came through the trees
and up in the air I went

I must have flown a mile
or maybe it was eight
Thought to myself pretty soon
I'd hit the Golden Gates
Just then a passing bird for no reason I could see
took a peck at my wings
and that was the end of me
I went down, hit the ground
faster than the speed of sound
Luckily I broke no bones
only tore my underclothes

Ding Dong (Dana International)


Ding Dong
Composer(s): Dana International
First performance by: Dana International - 2011



Maybe the good days
Arrived already and they're here
Just one more moment
And everything is going to change
And we'll love
Oh, we'll love

If you have a dream of your own
don't be afraid go on with your heart
close your eyes and hear the bells
of your soul
Ding dong say no more
I hear silent prayer and its making me
high and fly I know where to go
and I'm coming now

And maybe it's almost happening, it's close
Now comes the turn of the good moment
The pain of the heart turns around and leaves

Ding dong say no more
I hear silent prayer and its making me
high and fly I know where to go
and I'm coming now
Praise the day that brings the night
Praise the time that will shine on you
It will bring you salvation

Ding dong say no more
I hear silent prayer and its making me
high and fly I know where to go
and I'm coming now

Why you ramble
No one knows
Wild and windblown
That's how you've grown

Heaven knows
Though I love you
With a love true
Who can cling to

Cherry Hill Park


Cherry Hill Park Composer(s): Robert Nix - Billy Gilmore Performer(s): Billy Joe Royal



Mary Hill used to hang out in Cherry Hill Park
The games she played lasted all day till way after dark
All the girls they criticized her
But all the guys just idolized her
'Cause Mary Hill was such a thrill after dark
In Cherry Hill Park

Mary Hill loved to ride the merry-go-round
All the guys got eager eyes watchin' Mary go round
In the daytime Mary Hill was a teaser
Come the night she was such a pleaser
Oh Mary Hill was such a thrill after dark
In Cherry Hill Park

Mary Hill sure was fun down in Cherry Hill Park
Playing games with everyone till way after dark
In Cherry Hill Park, Cherry Hill Park

Then one day, Mary Hill, she married away
A man with some money said "Come on, honey"
and she said okay
She went away to play a one man game
and since that day it ain't been the same
'Cause Mary Hill was such a thrill after dark
Yeah in Cherry Hill Park

Mary Hill sure was fun down in Cherry Hill Park
Playing games with everyone till way after dark
In Cherry Hill Park, Cherry Hill Park

(repeat):
In Cherry Hill Park (Cherry Hill Park)

Ramblin' Man


Ramblin' Man
Composer(s): Dickie Betts
Performer(s): The Allman Brothers Band



Chorus
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can
And when it's time for leavin'
I hope you'll understand
That I was born a ramblin' man

Well my father was a gambler down in Georgia
He wound up on the wrong end of a gun
And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus
Rollin' down highway 41

Chorus

I'm on my way to New Orleans this mornin'
Leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee
They're always having a good time down on the bayou
Lord, them Delta women think the world of me

Chorus

Lord, I was born a ramblin' man...

Ramblin' Fever


Ramblin' Fever
Composer(s): Merle Haggard
Performer(s): Merle Haggard



My hat don't hang on the same nail too long
My ears can't stand to hear the same old song
And I don't leave the highway long enough
To bog down in the mud
Cause I've got ramblin' fever in my blood

I caught this ramblin' fever long ago
When I first heard a lonesome whistle blow
If someone said I ever gave a damn
They damn sure told you wrong
I've had ramblin' fever all along

Ramblin' fever, the kind that can't be measured by degrees
Ramblin' fever, there ain't no kind of cure for my disease

There's times I'd like to bed down on a sofa
And let some pretty lady rub my back
And spend the early morning drinking coffee
And talking about when I'll be coming back

Cause I don't let know no woman tie me down
And I'll never get too old to get around
I'm gonna die along the highway and rot away
Like some old high-line pole,
Rest this ramblin' fever in my soul

Cherry Blossom Clinic Revisited


Cherry Blossom Clinic Revisited
Composer(s): Roy Wood
Performer(s): The Move



It was one morning when I woke up
and then I found out that they'd signed some papers
and then I was gonna be kept in a bed owing to my state of mind
And then I found out that the authorities had said, um
that I'd gotta have special food fed to me for my thoughts, um
and I think it's because, because I was going off my...)

Head
Sunbeam from flowered skies
Twenty thousand butterflies
Glorify my...
Turn from hot to very cool
Though it seems incredible
I could ride a bike around the room

Cherry Blossom Clinic
Is there any truth in what they say
Cherry Blossom Clinic
Lock me in and throw the key away

In this sad position where I lie
From the corner of my eye
Callous friends just pass me by
Doctor pays a visit
Everyday I keep asking for my Dad
They must think I'm going mad
Lift the blankets off my face
Quick before I suffocate
Trying hard to meditate
Tell the people, "What a scene"
Write a letter to the Queen
Asking her if she can come to tea

Cherry Blossom Clinic
Is there any truth in what they say
Cherry Blossom Clinic
Lock me in and throw the key away

Up above the sun is high
Like a tea tray in the sky
Helicopter lands upon my bed
Phantom horses quickly fade
Turning into lemonade
Probably feel better when I'm dead

Cherry Blossom Clinic
Is there any truth in what they say
Cherry Blossom Clinic
Lock me in and throw the key away

Chorus:
Move
Down the road

There’s mud in the water
Roach in the cellar
Bugs in the sugar
Mortgage on the home

There’s garbage on the sidewalk
Highways in the back yard
Police on the corner
Mortgage on the car
Mortgage on the car

Chorus

They’re selling independence
Actors in the white house
Acid in digestion
Mortgage on my life
Mortgage on my life

So Lucky


So Lucky
Composer(s): Mihai Ginci - Marc Elsner - Andy Schuman
First performance by: Zdob si Zdub - 2011



Flashes
Ray ban glasses
I move with ease
In my convertible breeze
Martini
whiskey on the rocks
life on the top
my party never stops!
Winner
A dusk to dawn sinner
Love traded in for lust
It’s emotions I don’t trust
On top
The cream of the crop
You know I love to rock
The fun will never stop
You see
It’s all about me
The servants and the king
I’m the ruler of the world
A tug
She pulls me like a drug
I want her on the rug
But she’s not that kind of girl

I see you where the lights glow
You pull me in your private side show
And now I see your moves in slowmo
I try to kiss you, but you slip away
Yet you never walk away from me
Are you a shadow of what might be?
Why should one woman stand above the rest?
There is a mystery to you deep beneath the flesh!

Those eyes pulling me in
A body made to sin
But I can not win
Wait
I’m ready at the gate
Don’t tell me it’s too late
Her fire starts to melt my heart
She’s clean
Not part of any scene
She’s more like a dream
I don't want to wake up from!
I see
She’s somehow changing me
She’s where I want to be
Can’t stand a moment without her
Anymore!

I see you where the lights glow
You pull me in your private side show
And now I see your moves in slowmo
I try to kiss you, but you slip away
Yet you never walk away from me
Are you a shadow of what might be?
Why should one woman stand above the rest?
There is a mystery to you deep beneath the flesh!

Ramble On Rose


Ramble On Rose
Composer(s): Jerry Garcia; Robert Hunter
Performer(s): The Grateful Dead; Emory Joseph



Just like Jack the Ripper, just like Mojo Hand
Just like Billy Sunday, in a shotgun ragtime band
Just like New York City, just like Jerico
Pace the halls and climb the walls and get out when they blow

Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose?
Ramble on baby, settle down easy
Ramble on Rose

Just like Jack and Jill, Mama told the jailor
One hear up, and one cool down, leave nothin' for the tailor
Just like Jack and Jill, Papa told the jailer
One go up, and one go down, do yourself a favor

Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose?
Ramble on baby, settle down easy
Ramble on Rose

I'm gonna to sing you a hundred verses in ragtime
I know this song it ain't never gonna end
I'm gonna march you up and down along the county line
Take you to the leader of a band

Just like Crazy Otto, just like Wolfman Jack
Sittin plush with a royal flush, aces back to back
Just like Mary Shelly, just like Frankenstein
Clank your chains and count your change and try to walk the line

Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose?
Ramble on baby, settle down easy
Ramble on Rose

I'm gonna to sing you a hundred verses in ragtime
I know this song it ain't never gonna end
I'm gonna march you up and down along the county line
Take you to the leader of a band

Goodbye Mama and Papa
Goodbye Jack and Jill
The grass ain't greener
The wine ain't sweeter
Either side of the hill

Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose?
Ramble on baby, settle down easy
Ramble on Rose
