Reet Petite And Gone
Reet Petite And Gone
Composer(s): Louis Jordan; Julia Lee
Performer(s): Louis Jordan;
and various other artists
I got a girl who beats 'em all
She isn't too short and she isn't too tall
She's in the groove and she's right on the ball
'Cause she's reet, petite and gone
Oh what a babe, she's the tops
When we go out they don't need traffic cops
'Cause one look at her and the traffic stops
She is reet, petite and gone
When the boys all gather 'round at night to have a ball
Now that I've got this fine gal, I don't pay no mind at all
No more nights at sloppy Joe's
No more bettin' on the nose
I'll give up all my fancy clothes
'Cause she's reet, petite and gone
This time I'm gonna do things right
Never let my baby out of my sight
We'll tie the knot and tie it tight
'Cause she's reet, petite and gone
Got some money in my jeans
Feeling like a man of means
But I'll give up all those other queens
'Cause she's reet, petite and gone
That chick has really changed my attitude
Whenever I gaze on her pulchritude
I'm telling you boys, she's so mighty fine
She's got me all wrapped up like a ball of twine
All the other girls, they leave me cold
You can't compare brass to fourteen-carat gold
When they made her, they broke the mold
She is reet, petite and gone
I got a girl who beats 'em all
She isn't too short and she isn't too tall
She's in the groove and she's right on the ball
'Cause she's reet, petite and gone

It's time to play the music
It's time to light the lights
It's time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight

Why do we always come here

It's like a kind of torture
To have to watch the show
And now let's get things started
Why don't you get things started
It's time to get things started
On the most sensational inspirational celebrational Muppetational
This is what we call the Muppet Show

Christopher Columbus (Guy Mitchell)
Christopher Columbus
Composer(s): Terry Gilkyson
Performer(s): Guy Mitchell; Terry Gilkyson
(Let me fly, fly, fly stormy water
Let me walk on the bottom of the rollin’ sea
Let me run, run, run around this great and fertile land
‘Cos this world ain’t big enough for me)
Columbus say to the Spanish King
“I’ll let you in on a mighty fine thing
I aim to prove that the world is round
United States ain’t never been found”
(United States ain’t never been found)
“Now gimme ships,” old Columbus say
“I’ll sail to China the shorter way”
The king, he say “This world is flat
Sail too far and where you at?”
Let me fly, fly, fly stormy water
Let me walk on the bottom of the rollin’ sea
(Let me run, run, run around this great and fertile land
‘Cos this world ain’t big enough for me, oh no)
The world ain’t big enough for me
Now Queen Isabella, she gave heed
Said “Go buy the ships you need
Take my jewels but travel slow
‘Cos you might fall down to the world below.”
(Might fall down to the world below)
Crew was a-yellin’ “Turn back home
We ain’t ready for the Kingdom Come”
Look-out hollered, “Land I see,
Why there’s the Statue of Liberty”
Let me fly, fly, fly stormy water
Let me walk on the bottom of the rollin’ sea
Oh, let me run, run, run around this great and fertile land
‘Cos this world ain’t big enough for me
(Oh no)
The world ain’t big enough for me
Now all of the Indians come out then
To welcome Chris and the hungry men
“Step right up and have a little bite
And the Rotary meets on Monday night”
(Rotary meets on a Monday night)
Columbus sailed right home again
Ship load of gold for the Queen of Spain
King, he say, a-kickin’ at the ground
“Always know’d that the world was round”
Let me fly, fly, fly stormy water
Let me walk on the bottom of the rollin’ sea
(Let me run, run, run around this great and fertile land
‘Cos this world ain’t big enough for me Oh no)
The world ain’t big enough for me
The world... Ain’t big enough...
For me

Did My Heart Beat?
Did My Heart Beat?
Composer(s): Benee Russell - George W. Meyer - Pete Wendling
Performer(s): Pat O'Malley
Did my heart beat
The moment that I looked at you
Did my heart beat
And say that no-one else would do
Just one little stumble
Did I take a tumble
And did I fall in love
Was my face red
I hardly knew just what to say
Was my face red
I must have shown it every way
Just one little stumble
Did I take a tumble
And did I fall in love
We talked awhile of this and that
The night was so divine
We walked awhile and then we sat
Then suddenly your lips met mine
Did I run home
And tell it to the family
Did I run home
To tell them you belong to me
Just one little stumble
Did I take a tumble
And did I fall in love

Christopher Columbus (Andy Kirk)
Christopher Columbus
Composer(s): Chuck Berry - Andy Razaf
Performer(s): Andy Kirk
Mister Christopher columbus
Sailed the sea without a compass
When his men began a rumpus
Up spoke, Christopher Columbus
There is land somewhere
Until we get there
We will not go wrong
If we sing, "swing a song"
Since the world is round
We'll be safe and sound
Til our goal is found
We'll just keep rhythm bound
Soon the crew was makin merry
Then came a yell, "Let's drink to Isabelle
Hum, bring the rum, Ho Hum"
No more mutiny,
What a time at sea
With di-plo-ma-cy
Christy made his-to-ry
Mister Christopher Columbus
He used rhythm as a compass
Music ended all the rumpus
Wise old Christopher Columbus

Reelin' In The Years
Reelin' In The Years
Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan;
Eddie M.; Marvelous 3
Your everlasting summer
You can see it fading fast
So you grab a piece of something
That you think is gonna last
You wouldn't know a diamond
If you held it in your hand
The things you think are precious
I can't understand
Chorus:
Are you reelin' in the years
Stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mine
You been tellin' me you're a genius
Since you were seventeen
In all the time I've known you
I still don't know what you mean
The weekend at the college
Didn't turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge
I can't understand
Chorus
I spent a lot of money
And I spent a lot of time
The trip we made in Hollywood
Is etched upon my mind
After all the things we've done and seen
You find another man
The things you think are useless
I can't understand
Chorus

The Munsters
The Munsters
Composer(s): Jack Marshall
First performance: 1964
When you are walking down the street at night
And behind you theres no one in view
But you hear mysterious feet at night
Then The Munsters are following you!
If you should meet this strange family
Just forget what some people have said
The Munsters may shake your hand clammily
But they're not necessarily dead
Behind their house you musn't be afraid
To see a figure digging with a spade!
Perhaps someone didn't quite make the grade
with The Munsters, with The Munsters
If when you're sleeping you dream a lot
Ghoulish nightmares parade through your head
And then you wake up and scream a lot
Oh, The Munsters are under your bed!
At midnight if creatures should prowl about
And if vampires and vultures swoop down
And werewolves and feinds shreik and howl about
Oh, The Munsters are out on the town!
One night I dared peak through their window screen
My hair turned white at such a crazy scene!
Because every evening its Halloween
At The Munsters', at The Munsters'!

Some- times I do, then again I think I don't
Well, I looked at my watch it was nine twenty one

We were reelin' and a-rockin' and rollin' till the break of dawn

There's nothin' I'd rather do than dance with you
We were rollin', reelin' and a-rockin'...
Well, I looked at my watch, it was nine forty-three
And every time I'd spin, she'd spin with me
We were reelin', reelin' and a-rockin', ...

We were rollin, reelin' and a-rockin' ...

But I'm a keep on dancin' till I got my kicks!
We were reelin', reelin' and a-rockin'.....
Well, I looked at my watch, it was ten twenty-eight
I gotta get my kicks before it gets too late!
We were reelin', reelin' and a-rockin' ....
Well, I looked at my watch, it was ten twenty-nine
I had to hold her hand, she was still holdin' mine!
We were reelin', reelin' and a-rockin'. ....
Well, I looked at my watch, and to my surprise,
I was dancin' with a woman who was twice my size!
We were reelin', reelin' and a-rockin' .....
Well, I looked at my watch, and it was time to go
The band leader said, "We ain't playin' no mo'!"
We were reelin', reelin', and a-rockin'....

The Mummers' Dance
The Mummers' Dance
Composer(s): Loreena McKennitt
Performer(s): Loreena McKennitt
and multiple other artists
When in the springtime of the year
When the trees are crowned with leaves
When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew
Are dressed in ribbons fair
When owls call the breathless moon
In the blue veil of the night
The shadows of the trees appear
Amidst the lantern light
We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
we bring a garland gay
Who will go down to those shady groves
And summon the shadows there
And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
In the springtime of the year
The songs of birds seem to fill the wood
That when the fiddler plays
All their voices can be heard
Long past their woodland days
We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
we bring a garland gay
And so they linked their hands and danced
Round in circles and in rows
And so the journey of the night descends
When all the shades are gone
A garland gay we bring you here
And at your door we stand
It is a sprout well budded out
The work of Our Lord's hand
We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
we bring a garland gay

Ballad Of Forty Dollars
Ballad Of Forty Dollars
Composer(s): Tom T. Hall
First release by: Tom T. Hall - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
The man who preached the funeral
Said it really was a simple way to die
He laid down to rest one afternoon
And never opened up his eyes
They hired me and Fred and Joe
To dig the grave and carry up some chairs
It took us seven hours
And I guess we must have drunk a case of beer
I guess I ought to go and watch them put 'im down
But I don't own a suit
And anyway when they start talkin' about
The fire in Hell, well, I get spooked
So, I'll just sit here in my truck
And act like I don't know 'im when they pass
Anyway, when they're all through
I've got to go to work and mow the grass
Well, here they come and who's that
Ridin' in that big ol' shiny limousine
Mmh! look at all that chrome, I do believe
That that's the sharpest thing I've seen
That must belong to his great uncle
Someone said he owned a big ol' farm
When they get parked I'll mosey down
and look it over, that won't do no harm
Well, that must be the widow in the car
And would you take a look at that
That sure is a pretty dress
You know some women do look good in black
Well, he's not even in the ground
And they say that his truck is up for sale
They say she took it pretty hard
But you can't tell too much behind the veil
Well, listen ain't that pretty
When the bugler plays the Military "Taps"
I think that when you's in the war
They always (hide 'n) play a song like that
Well, here I am and there they go
And I guess you'd have to call it my bad luck
I hope he rests in peace, the trouble is
The fellow owes me forty bucks

Performer(s): Johnny Russell;
Hit Crew; Hank Thompson
There's no place that I'd rather be than right here
With my red necks, white socks and blue ribbon beer
The bar-maid is mad 'cause some guy made a pass
The juke box is playin' there stands the glass
And the cig-a-rette smoke kind-a hangs in the air
Red-necks, white socks and blue rib-bon beer
A cow-boy is cus-sin' the pin-ball ma-chine
A drunk at the bar is get-tin' nois-y and mean
And, some guy on the phone says i'll be home soon dear
Red-necks white socks and blue rib-bon beer
No we don't fit in with that white col-lar crowd
We're a lit-tle too row-dy and a little too loud
There's no place that I'd rath-er be than right here
With my red-necks white socks and blue rib-bon beer
The sem-is are pass-ing on the high-way out-side
The four thir-ty crowd is a-bout to ar-rive
The sun's go-in' down and we'll all soon be here
Red-necks, white socks and blue rib-bon beer
No we don't fit in with that white col-lar crowd
We're a lit-tle too row-dy and a little too loud
There's no place that I'd rath-er be than right here
With my red-necks white socks and blue rib-bon beer
There's no place that I'd rather be than right here

The Mountains Of Mourne
Composer(s): William Percy French - Dr. W. Houston Collisson
Performer(s): Peter Dawson - 1928
and multiple other artists
Oh, Mary this London's a wonderful sight
With people here workin' by day and by night
They don't sow potatoes, nor barley, nor wheat
But there's gangs of them diggin' for gold in the street
At least when I asked them that's what I was told
So I just took a hand at this diggin' for gold
But for all that I found there I might as well be
Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea
I believe that when writin' a wish you expressed
As to how the fine ladies in London were dressed
Well, if you'll believe me, when asked to a ball
They don't wear no top to their dresses at all
Oh, I've seen them meself and you could not in truth
Say that if they were bound for a ball or a bath
Don't be startin' them fashions, now Mary McCree
Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea
I've seen England's King from the top of a bus
And I never knew him, though he means to know us
And though by the Saxon we once were oppressed
Still, I cheered, God forgive me, I cheered with the rest
And now that he's visited Erin's green shore
We'll be much better friends than we've been heretofore
When we've got all we want, we're as quiet as can be
Where the Mountains o' Mourne sweep down to the sea
You remember young Peter O'Loughlin, of course
Well, now here he's over here at the head of the Force
I met him to-day, I was crossin' the Strand
And he stopped the whole street with one wave of his hand
And there we stood talking of days that are gone
While the whole population of London looked on
But for all these great powers, he's wishful like me
To be back where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea
There's beautiful girls here, oh, never you mind
With beautiful shapes nature never designed
And lovely complexions all roses and cream
But let me remark with regard to the same
That if that those roses you venture to sip
The colours might all come away on your lip
So I'll wait for the wild rose that's waitin' for me
In the place where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea

First release by: The Flying Burrito Brothers - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
She's a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She's telling dirty lies
She's a devil in disguise
In disguise
Now a woman like that all she does is hate you
She doesn't know what makes a man a man
She'll talk about the time that she's been with you
She'll speak your name to everyone she can
She's a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She's telling dirty lies
She's a devil in disguise
In disguise
Unhappiness has been her close companion
Her world is full of jealously and doubt
It gets her off to see a person crying
She's just the kind that you can do without
She's a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She's telling dirty lies
She's a devil in disguise
In disguise
Her number always turns up in your pocket
Whenever you are looking for a dime
It's all right to call her, but I'll bet you
The moon is full and you're just wasting time.
She's a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She's telling dirty lies
She's a devil in disguise
In disguise
