Rite Of Passage
Rite Of Passage
Composer(s): Bob Seger
Performer(s): Bob Seger
It's the age of reason for the anarchist
It's a change of venue for the lobbyist
It's a dream of justice buried in the grist
It's a secret briefing based on need to know
It's a condescending rationale from command control
Feel the sense of wonder at the overthrow
It's a rite of passage through a hurricane
Through a rolling thunder through a screaming rain
Hear the shriek of Abel hear the cry of Cain
And Abraham will take his son
Five billion years from now the cruelty will be done
Make a destination
Of the greater truth
Make 'em hang their heads and eat their words
When you find the proof
This is all you're given
It's your only move
It's a rite of passage for the everyman
To a higher ground
To a brighter light
To a promised land
You can feel the power
Of the master's hand
It's a rite of passage

The Texas Troubadour
The Texas Troubadour
Composer(s): Porter Wagoner
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
The New York City folks say I'm too country
The Grenache Village hippies all call me square
But at the Long Horn barroom down in Dallas Texas
They call me the Texas Troubadour there
My home state of Texas you've been good to me
Your wide open spaces treat me fair
The girls are so much prettier down in Texas
They don't breathe that New York City polluted air
Ah Buddy
The New York City sidewalks filled with people
Too busy to say hello to you there
With hearts as cold as the concrete that they walk on
They sure could use some clean fresh Texas air
Now Texas folks don't judge you till they know you
And they don't judge you then by what you wear
And you can feel at home anyplace in Texas
If you don't own a thing or if you're a millionaire
Now My home state of Texas you've been good to me
Your wide open spaces treat me fair
The girls are so much prettier down in Texas
They don't breathe that New York City polluted air

Make you happy in my little red boat

Performer(s): Medicine Head; British Lions
Come on down the road before the sun
Get high in your heart and have some fun
Hey, cravin' like the way you look
You're open like a child's first book
Oh, when you speak it's just like a symphony
Oh, your fingers touch me with poetry
Don't underestimate what you mean to me
You're like a constant glimpse of the rising sun
You're like a constant glimpse of the rising sun
Come on baby, jump inside my truck
Don't worry, you know you got good luck
All you do is put your right foot out
That move'll show you what's all about

Rise And Shine
Rise And Shine
Composer(s): Carl Perkins
Performer(s): Carl Perkins
Little children do not worry
Oh, you still got lot's o' time
There's no need in walkin' backwards
Turn around and rise and shine
'Cause the good Lord said he loves you
And through him new strength you'll find
And even though the world may use you
Get up now, go rise and shine
Rise and shine early mornin'
Shine your light all through the day
Makes no difference how they treat you
Stand right up and have your say
'Cause the good Lord said he loves you
And through him new strength you'll find
And even though the world may use you
Get up now, go rise and shine
Look at how they done poor Jesus
Why, they nailed him to the cross
When he died out there on Calvary
So the world would not be lost
So no matter how they treat you
If they slap you in your face
Just remember Jesus loves you
And all because he took your place
Shine early mornin'
Shine your light all through the day
Makes no difference how they treat you
Stand right up and have your say
'Cause the good Lord said he loves you
And through him new strength you'll find
And even though the world may use you
Get up now, go rise and shine
Look at how they done poor Lazarus
When he begged for the rich man's crumbs
But the rich man, high and mighty
He refused and gave him none
Now he's placed himself with Jesus
In that large house up above
'Cause the good book plainly tells us
Lazarus learned to live on love
Rise and shine ev'ry mornin'
Shine your light all through the day
Makes no difference how they treat you
Stand right up and have your say
'Cause the good Lord said he loves you
And through him new strength you'll find
And even though the world may use you
Get up now, go rise and shine
Rise and shine into the mornin'
Shine your light all through the day
Makes no difference how they treat you
Stand by and have your say
'Cause the good Lord said he loves you
And through him new strength you'll find
And even though the world may use you
Get up now, go rise and shine.......

Everything is wrong since me and my baby parted
All day long I'm walkin 'cause I couldn't get my car started

Tu boca, tu boca de rosa
Con ansias de felicidad
Sonriente, primorosa
Cuentan los mas bellos sueños de tu corazon
Tus ojos, tus ojos de cielo

Son tus risas, son tus lagrimas
De amor, de amor, de amor
Mil recuerdos despiertan en mi
Tu ansiedad, tu frenesi
Pues yo tambien el amor senti
Y de tanto amar, llore y rei
Tu cara, tu cara de novia
Un buen dia estara
Tan radiante, tan hermosa
Que tus risas y lagrimas sean de felicidad

Come Monday

Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett
and various other artists
Headin' up to San Francisco
for the Labor Day weekend show
I've got my hush-puppies on
I guess I never was meant for
glitter rock and roll
And honey I didn't know
that I'd be missin' so
Come Monday It'll be all right
Come Monday I'll be holding you tight
I spent four lonely days in a brown L.A. haze
and I just want you back by my side
Yes it's been quite a summer
rent-a-cars and west bound trains
And now your off on vacation
somethin' you tried to explain
And darlin' I love you so that's
the reason I just let you go
Come Monday It'll be all right
Come Monday I'll be holding you tight
I spent four lonely days in a brown L.A. haze
and I just want you back by my side
I can't help it honey
your that much a part of me now
Remember the night in Montana when
we said there'd be no room for doubt
I hope your enjoyin' the scen'ry
I know that it's pretty up there
We can go hikin on Tuesday
with you I'd walk anywhere
California has worn me quite thin
I just can't wait to see you again

Riptide
Composer(s): Walter Donaldson; Gus Kahn
Performer(s): Al Bowlly;
and various other artists
Riptide, caught in a riptide
Torn between two loves, the old and the new
Riptide, lost in a riptide
Where will it take me, what shall I do?
My heart is tossed on a sea of emotion
One love offers romance, the other devotion
A new love is calling, the old love is bleeding
I’m caught in a riptide, what shall I do?

The Teddy Bear's Picnic
Composer(s): Jimmy Kennedy - John W. Bratton
Performer(s): Henry Hall & His Orch.
and multiple other artists
If you go down to the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise
If you go down to the woods today
You'd better go in disguise
For ev'ry bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic
Ev'ry teddy bear who's been good
Is sure of a treat today
There's lots of marvelous things to eat
And wonderful games to play
Beneath the trees where nobody sees
They'll hide and seek as long as they please
'Cause that's the way the teddy bears have their picnic
If you go down to the woods today
You'd better not go alone
It's lovely down in the woods today
But safer to stay at home
For ev'ry bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic
Picnic time for teddy bears
The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today
Watch them, catch them unawares
And see them picnic on their holiday
See them gaily gad about
They love to play and shout
They never have any care
At six o'clock their mummies and daddies
Will take them home to bed
Because they're tired little teddy bears

Come live with me and be my love
Share my bread and wine
Be wife to me, be life to me, be mine

To shield your head
And with these hands

Come live with me and be my love
Share my bread and wine
Be part of me, the heart of me, be mine
I’ll try to do my best for you
I’ll promise you
I’ll laugh with you, I’ll cry with you, my whole life through
Come live with me and be my love
Share my bread and wine
Be part of me, the heart of me, be mine....

Ripple
Ripple
Composer(s): Jerry Garcia; Robert Hunter
Performer(s): Grateful Dead;
and various other artists
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come thru the music
Would you hold it near as it were your own?
It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they're better left unsung
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air
Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow
Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of men
There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone
Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow
But if you fall you fall alone
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home
La dee da da da, La da da da da, Da da da, Da da, Da da da da da
La da da da, La da da, Da da, La da da da, La da, Da da

The Tears Of A Clown
The Tears Of A Clown
Composer(s): Stevie Wonder - Smokey Robinson - Henry Cosby
First release by: Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
Now if there's a smile on my face
It's only there trying to fool the public
But when it comes down to fooling you
Now honey that's quite a different subject
But don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Cos really I'm sad, Oh I'm sadder than sad
Well I'm hurt and I want you so bad
Like a clown I appear to be glad ooh yeah
Well they're some sad things known to man
But ain't too much sadder than
The tears of a clown when there's noone around
Oh yeah, baby baby, oh yeah baby baby
Now if I appear to be carefree
It's only to camouflage my sadness
And honey to shield my pride I try
To cover this hurt with a show of gladness
But don't let my show convince you
That I've been happy since you
Cos I need to go, oh I need you so
Look I'm hurt and I want you to know
For others I put on a show...
Well they're some sad things known to man
But ain't too much sadder than
The tears of a clown when there's noone around
Oh yeah, baby baby, oh yeah baby baby
Just like Pagliacci did
I try to keep my surface hid
Smiling in the crowd I try
But in a lonely room I cry
The tears of a clown
When there's noone around, oh yeah, baby baby
Now if there's a smile on my face
Don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Don't let this smile I wear
Make you think that I don't care
Cos really I'm sad...

Rip Off
Rip Off
Composer(s): Marc Bolan
Performer(s): T. Rex;
and various other artists
In the moonlight
Fighting with the night
It's a rip-off
Kissing all the slain
I'm bleeding in the rain
It's a rip-off
Such a rip-off
Rocking in the nude
I'm feeling such a dude
It's a rip-off
Dancing in the dark
With the tramps in the park
It's a rip-off
Such a rip-off
See your baby's stud
Sliding in my mud
It's a rip-off
Bleached on the beach
I want to tickle your peach
It's a rip-off
See the girl dance
In her man-skin pants
It's a rip-off
Terraplane Tommy
Wants to bang your gong
It's a rip-off
Such a rip-off
Gypsy girl's good
People treat her like a fool
She's a rip-off
The President's weird
He's got a burgundy beard
It's a rip-off
Such a rip-off
I'm the King of the Highway
I'm the Queen of the Hop
You should see me
At the Governor's Ball
Doing the Rip-Off Bop
I'm a social person
I'm the creature in disguise
There's a man with a whip
On his silver hip
Living inside my eyes
I'm the cat from the alley
I'm the fleet-foot voodoo man
There's very little that's ever said
All of which I understand
Caught like a skunk
In space and time
It's a rip-off
If it's hers
Well it must be mine
It's a rip-off
Such a rip-off
Dancing in the nude
Feeling such a dude
It's a rip-off
Mountains of the moon
Remind me of a spoon
It's a rip-off
Such a rip-off
Bleached on the beach
I want to tickle your peach
It's a rip-off
See the girl dance
In her man-skin pants
It's a rip-off
