Real Live Girl
Real Live Girl
Composer(s): Cy Coleman; Carolyn Leigh
Performer(s): Matt Monro;
and various other artists
Pardon me miss
but I've never done this
with a real live girl
what could be harmful
in holding an armful
of a real live girl
pardon me if you're affectionate squeeze
fogs up my goggles and
buckels my knees
I'm simply drown in the sight, and the sounds
and the scent and the feel
of a real live girl
nothing can beat getting swept off your feet
by a real live girl
dreams of you but don't compare with a hunk
of a real live girl
girl's were to girlish
was once my belief
whata reversal and what a relief
I'll take the flowering hat
and the towering hill
and the squeal of a real live girl
I've seen photographs and faximilies
that have set my heart off in a whirl
but I over look everyone in the book
for a real live girl
take your vernecion or romanaprrection
ideal live girl
go be a hold out for Helen of Troy
I am a healthy American Boy
and I rather gape at the dear little shape of the stir
and the kill of a real live girl
full time, occasional all operational girl

The Man Who Sold The World
The Man Who Sold The World
Composer(s): David Bowie
First release by: David Bowie - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
We passed upon the stairs, we spoke in walls and web
Although I wasn`t there, he said I was his friend, which came as a surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died --- a long a long, long time ago
Oh no, not me, we never lost control
The face to face of a man who sold the world
I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched a far the land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazy stare
We walked a million hills
I must have died --- a long a long, long time ago
Who knows not me
I never lost control
You`re face to face with the man who sold the world

Chickery Chick
Chickery Chick
Composer(s): Sidney Lippman - Sylvia Dee
Performer(s): Sammy Kaye
and multiple other artists
Once there lived a chicken who would say
"Chick-chick, chick-chick" all day
Soon that chick got sick and tired of just "chick-chick"
So one morning he started to say
Chickery chick, cha-la, cha-la
Check-a-la romey in a bananika
Bollika, wollika, can't you see
Chickery chick is me
Every time you're sick and tired of just the same old thing
Sayin' just the same old words all day
Be just like the chicken who found something new to sing
Open up your mouth and start to say
Oh! Chickery chick, cha-la, cha-la
Check-a-la romey in a bananika
Bollika, wollika, can't you see
Chickery chick is me

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David
First release by: The Fairmount Singers - 1962
Covered by multiple other artists
When Liberty Valance rode to town
The women folk would hide, they'd hide
When Liberty Valance walked around
The men would step aside
'Cause the point of a gun was the only law
That Liberty understood
When it came to shootin' straight and fast
He was mighty good
From out of the East a stranger came
A law book in his hand, a man
The kind of a man the west would need
To tame a troubled land
'Cause the point of a gun was the only law
That Liberty understood
When it came to shootin' straight and fast
He was mighty good
When it came to shootin' straight and fast
He was mighty good
Many a man would face his gun
And many a man would fall
The man who shot Liberty Valance
He shot Liberty Valance
He was the bravest of them all
The love of a girl can make a man
Stay on when he should go, stay on
Just tryin' to build a peaceful live
Where love is free to grow
But the point of a fun was the only law
That Liberty understood
When the final showdown came at last
A law book was no good
Alone and afraid she prayed that he'd
Return that fateful night, that night
When nothing she said could keep her man
From going out to fight
From the moment a girl gets to be full grown
The very first thing she learns
When two men go out to face each other, only one returns
Everyone heard two shots ring out
One shot made Liberty fall
The man who shot Liberty Valance
He shot Liberty Valance
He was the bravest of them all

Chicken Pot Pie
Performer(s): Weird Al Yankovic
When we were young, Bernie's Deli was down the block
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
He made a great liver pate

But if there's one thing in this world that I like better
Than a corned beef on rye
It's Chicken Pot Pie

Honey, now it's up to you

The Man Who Broke The Bank At Monte Carlo
The Man Who Broke The Bank At Monte Carlo
Performer(s): Charles Coburn
I've just got here, thro' Paris, from the sunny southern shore
I to Monte Carlo went, just to raise my winter's rent
Dame Fortune smil'd upon me as she'd never done before
And I've now such lots of money, I'm a gent
Yes, I've now such lots of money, I'm a gent
I stay indoors till after lunch, and then my daily walk
To the great Triumphal Arch is one grand Triumphal march
Observ'd by each observer with the keenness of a hawk
I'm mass of money, linen, silk and starch
I'm mass of money, linen, silk and starch
I patronized the tables at the Monte Carlo hell
Till they hadn't got a sou for a Christian or a Jew
So I quickly went to Parie for the charms of mad'moiselle
Who's the load-stone of my heart
What can I do?
When with twenty tongues she swears that she'll be true?
As I walk along the Bois Boolong, with an independent air
You can hear them sigh and wish to die
You can see them wink the other eye
At the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo

Have you talked to the Man upstairs
'Cause He wants to hear from you

The Man That Is Me
The Man That Is Me
Composer(s): Jim Croce - Ingrid Croce
Performer(s): Jim & Ingrid Croce
I'm a dreamer by nature
And I've always been tryin'
To dream myself out of this world that I'm in
In my dreams I escape all the troubles around
And it hasn't cost a penny
For the pleasures I've found
What is the part
That I'll play today
Beggar, a bus'ness man, king for a day?
I've played many parts
And I'm the first to agree
That I'm still lookin' round for the man that is me
I'm a dreamer by nature
And I've always been
Looking for something not there
My financial position
Don't bother my dreams
'Cause in fairy tale money
I'm my own millionaire
What is the part
That I'll play today
Beggar, a bus'ness man, king for a day?
I've played many parts
And I'm the first to agree
That I'm still lookin' round for the man that is me
I'm a rich man in dreams
But in real life I've hid
From the fact that I've got me a wife and a kid
If I lose what I've got
Then they lose it too
Tell me what in this world's a poor dreamer to do
What is the part
That I'll play today
Beggar, a bus'ness man, king for a day?
I've played many parts
And I'm the first to agree
That I'm still lookin' round for the man that is me

Chicken
Chicken
Composer(s): Jerry Leiber - Walter Rollins - Mike Stoller
Performer(s): The Cheers
They drove the hottest hot rods
That were ever raced in years
You could hear `em burnin' rubber
As they shifted through the gears
They must have lost their senses
In their trail of smoke and flame
`Cos you had to be a maniac
To play that crazy game
"Chicken", "Chicken"
The winner of the game would holler "chicken"
The laughter of the couples
Could be heard above the roar
As they headed t'ward each other
With their pedals to the floor
The one that held it showed
That he was not afraid to die
And the one that turned aside
Would hear the winning couple cry
"Chicken", "Chicken"
The winner of the game would holler "chicken"
(Chicken)
They knew they'd all be losers
If they ever had a tie
But the closer they could make a scene
The louder they would cry
The kicks were always greatest
When they had the closest shaves
And the voices coming back
Were like an echo from the grave
"Chicken", "Chicken"
The winner of the game would holler "chicken"
And then one night it happened
`Cos the devil had his way
He was clickin' off the seconds
That were left for them to play
There might have been a winner
But they had no way to tell
For the couples all were dead
And there was no one left to yell
"Chicken", "Chicken"
The winner of the game would holler "chicken"

Ready For You
Ready For You
Performer(s): Air Supply
Painted sands and makeshift hands
Take us round and round
Horizon clear, you'll soon be near
And walking on the ground
I've been round the corner
Sinking all the doubts in sight
If you sail across the border
We can float into the night
Oh, I'm ready for you
I'm ready for you
I'm ready for you
I'm ready for you
Cloudy Sky, the wind is high
And trying to break the spell
But I'll be here when you appear
I'll see the night as well
A feeling's not a feeling
If you can't believe it's true
I'd sooner be believing
'Til the ship comes sailing through
Oh, I'm ready for you
I'm ready for you
I'm ready for you
I'm ready for you
I've been round the corner
Sinking all the doubts in sight
If you sail across the border
We can float into the night
Oh, I'm ready for you
Oh, I'm ready for you
Oh, I'm ready for you
Oh, I'm ready for you

The Man That Got Away
The Man That Got Away
Composer(s): Ira Gershwin - Harold Arlen
First performance by: Judy Garland - 1954
Covered by multiple other artists
The night is bitter
The stars have lost their glitter
The winds grow colder
And suddenly you're older
And all because of
The man that got away
No more his eager call
The writing's on the wall
The dreams you dreamed have all
Gone astray
The man that won you
Has run off and undone you
That great beginning
Has seen it's final inning
Don't know what happened
It's all a crazy game
No more that all-time thrill
For you've been through the mill
And never a new love will
Be the same
Good riddance, good-bye
Every trick of his you're on to
But fools will be fools and where's he gone to?
The road gets rougher
It's lonelier and tougher
With hope you burn up
Tomorrow he may turn up
There's just no letup
The livelong night and day
Ever since this world began
There is nothing sadder than
A one-man woman
Looking for the man that got away...
The road gets rougher
It's lonelier and tougher
With hope you burn up
Tomorrow he may turn up
There's just no letup
The livelong night and day
Ever since this world began
There is nothing sadder than
A one-man woman
Looking for the man
The man that got away...
The man that got away...
