Kiss An Angel Good Morning


Kiss An Angel Good Morning
Composer(s): Ben Peters
Performer(s): Charley Pride;
and various other artists



When ever I chance to meet
some old friends on the street
They wonder how does a man get to feel this way
I've always got a smiling face
anytime & any place
And every time they ask me why I just smile & say

You've got to kiss an angel good morning
And let her know you think about her when you're gone
Kiss an angel good morning
And love her like the devil when you get back home

Well people may try to guess, the secret of my happiness
But some of them never learn it's a simple thing
The secret that I'm speaking of, is a woman & a man in love
And the answer is in this song that I always sing

Two Eyes


Two Eyes
Composer(s): Steele - Bart - Pratt
Performer(s): Tommy Steele and The Steelmen



I got two eyes in the corner
Two eyes looking at me
Don't hide in the corner
Bring those two eyes closer closer
Two arms wanna hold you
Two lips wanna kiss kiss
Waiting for the moment I say "yes, please"
Two eyes!

Tantalizing, hypnotizing
Looking through me, speeking to me
Fascinating, captivating
Peepers keep me waiting

I got two eyes in the corner
Two eyes looking at me
Don't hide in the corner
Bring those two eyes closer closer
Two arms wanna hold you
Two lips wanna kiss kiss
Waiting for the moment I say "yes, please"
Two eyes!

Dig those linkers, dig those winkers
Such expression, this impression
That you're making's got me shaking
I'm yours for the taking

I got two eyes in the corner
Two eyes looking at me
Don't hide in the corner
Bring those two eyes closer closer
Two arms wanna hold you
Two lips wanna kiss
Waiting for the moment I say "yes, please"
Two eyes!

Ice Cream For Crow


Ice Cream For Crow
Composer(s): Don Van Vliet
First release by: Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band - 1982



It's so hot
Looks like you have three beaks, crow
The moon's so full
White hat on a pumpkin
You know there's something
The moon was a stone's throw
Stop the show
I need to say hello to the crow
Light the fire piano
The moon showed up
And it started to show
Tonight there would be ice cream
Ice cream for crow
Ice cream by night
Sun cream by day

Ice cream for crow
Ice cream by night
Sun cream by day

The sun ain't stable
Ice cream for crow
Crow pants the scarecrow
Crow dance ah ho ho
Crow dance
A panther
Scarecrow you answer
You can hee and haw
Maugh and scratch
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
Boss and toss
Don't shake my hand
Give me your claw
Two tears in a haystack
Scarecrow get back
Tonight there will be
A feather treatment
Beneath the symbol
We'll all assemble
Oh how we'll fly
Oh how we'll tremble
Cut the cake
We'll all get well
Turn up the speakers
Hop flop squawk
It's a keeper
Ice cream for show
Oh ice cream for crow
Now now that's it
Now you can go

Kiss And Say Goodbye


Kiss And Say Goodbye
Composer(s): Winfred Lovett
Performer(s): The Manhattans;
and various other artists



This has got to be the saddest day of my life
I called you here today for a bit of bad news
I won’t be able to see you anymore
Because of my obligations and the ties that you have
We’ve been meeting here every day
And since this is our last day together
I wanna hold you just one more time
When you turn and walk away don’t look back
I want to remember you just like this
Let’s just kiss and say goodbye

I had to meet you here today
There’s just so many things to say
Please don’t stop me till I’m through
This is something I hate to do

We’ve been meeting here so long
I guess what begun, oh, is wrong
Please, darling, don’t you cry
Let’s just kiss and say goodbye (Goodbye)

Many months have passed us by (I’m gonna miss you)
I’m gonna miss you, I can’t lie (I’m gonna miss you)
I’ve got ties and so do you
I just think this is the thing to do

It’s gonna hurt me, I can’t lie
Maybe you’ll meet, you’ll meet another guy
Understand me, won’t you try, try, try, try, try, try, try
Let’s just kiss and say goodbye (Goodbye)

Mmm…mmm…mmm… (I’m gonna miss you)

I’m gonna miss you, I can’t lie (I’m gonna miss you)
Understand me, won’t you try (I’m gonna miss you)
It’s gonna hurt me, I can’t lie (I’m gonna miss you)
Take my handkerchief and wipe your eyes (I’m gonna miss you)

Maybe you will find, you’ll find another guy (I’m gonna miss you)
Let’s kiss and say goodbye, pretty baby (I’m gonna miss you)
Please, don’t you cry (I’m gonna miss you)
Understand me, won’t you try (I’m gonna miss you)

Let’s just kiss and say goodbye (Bye)

Two Dreams Met


Two Dreams Met
Performer(s): Mitchell Ayres & Perry Como



Two dreams met
They knew of two hearts that were lonely
That could be so happy
If only they found romance
Two dreams met
They said we must go out and find them
And then as we tiptoe behind them
We'll make them dance
A band was softly playing
Sweet music filled the air
"Turn around," my dream kept saying
I did, and you were there
Then two hearts met
A beautiful love affair started
The dreams winked their eyes and departed
They knew that their work was done
For two lonely hearts were one

Two Dollars In The Jukebox


Two Dollars In The Jukebox
Composer(s): Eddie Rabbitt
Performer(s): Eddie Rabbitt



I've got two dollars in the jukebox
Five dollars in a bottle
Ten more just in case that don't do the trick

And I'll be dead broke tomorrow mornin'
With heartaches by the dozen
And a lady on my mind that's drivin' me crazy

Why do I, why do I
Need to see those blue eyes
Lookin' at me that way again
After the way she did me, it's a sin

How could she, how could she
Just walk out and leave me
After all these nights in her arms
Look where I am

And I've got two dollars in the jukebox
Five dollars in a bottle
Ten more just in case that don't do the trick

And I'll be dead broke tomorrow mornin'
With heartaches by the dozen
And a lady on my mind that's drivin' me crazy

I've got two dollars in the jukebox
Five dollars in a bottle
Ten more just in case that don't do the trick

And I'll be dead broke tomorrow mornin'
With heartaches by the dozen
And a lady on my mind that's drivin' me crazy

I've got a lady on my mind that's drivin' me crazy

Ice Cream


Ice Cream
Composer(s): Howard Johnson; Billy Moll; Robert A.K. King
Performer(s): Harry Reser's Six Jumping Jacks (vocal: Tom Stacks)
and multiple other artists



Oh!
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

In the land of ice and snows
Up among the Eskimos
There's a college known as Ogiwawa!
You should hear those college boys
Gee, they make an awful noise
When they sing an Eskimo tra-la-la!

They've got a leader, big cheer leader
Oh, what a guy!
He's got a frozen face just like an Eskimo Pie!
When he says, "Come on, let's go!"
Though it's forty-five below
This is what the Eskimos all holler

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Tuesdays, Mondays, we all scream for sundaes
Sis-boom-bah!
Boola-boola, sarsaparoolla
If you got chocolate, we'll take vanoola!
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
Rah! Rah! Rah!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Frosts and malts that are peppered and salted
Sis-boom-bah!
Oh, spumoni, oh, cartoni
And confidentially, we'll take baloney
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
Rah! Rah! Rah!

Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah!

Sweet summer breeze
Whispering Trees
Stars shining softly above

Roses in bloom
Wafted perfume
Sleepy birds dreaming of love

Safe in your arms
Far from alarms
Daylight shall come but in vain...

Tenderly pressed
Close to my breast
Kiss me
Kiss Me Again

Two Different Worlds


Two Different Worlds
Composer(s): Al Frisch - Sid Wayne
First release: Steve Clayton - 1956
Covered by multiple other artists



Nothing matters if I am yours
And you are mine

Two different words
We live in two different worlds
For we've been told
That a love like ours
Could never be

So far apart
They say we're so far apart
And that we haven't the right
To change our destiny

When will they learn
That a heart doesn't draw a line
Nothing matters if I am yours
And you are mine

Two different worlds
We live in two different worlds
But we will show them
As we walk together in the sun
That our two different worlds are one

When will they learn
That a heart doesn't draw a line
Nothing matters if I am yours
And you are mine

Two different worlds
We live in two different worlds
But we will show them
As we walk together in the sun
That our two different worlds are one

Ibiza Bar


Ibiza Bar
Composer(s): Roger Waters; David Gilmour; Richard Wright; Nick Mason
First release by: Pink Floyd - 1969



I'm so afraid of mistakes that I made
Taking every time that I wake
I feel like a hard-boiled butter man
So give me a time when the countries will lie
on the storyline if kind
Our days are made since the first page
I've lived every line that you wrote
Take me down, take me down,
from the shelf above your head
So give me a time when the countries will lie
on the storyline if kind
And if I live on the shelf like the rest
And if love bleeds like a sad song
Please pick-up your camera and use me again
So give me a time when the countries will lie on the storyline if kind
Yea
It's alright now darlin'

Kiss Me Deadly


Kiss Me Deadly
Composer(s): Billy Idol; Tony James
Performer(s): Generation X;
Billy Idol; Mutant Monster Beach Party



The Greyhound's rocking out tonight
To maximum rockabilly
When two punks chose to risk the subway
For a tube to Picadilly
The Zephrys stir fast gangs for glory
Another dumb casualty
Having fun
In South West six
Hidden flick knife flicks
Kiss me deadly, tonight

Another battle was won and lost
Down The Bishops End last night
Spotlights pick the kids in triumph
With a thousand scarves in flight, see how they run
Spring from the terraces in black and white
Young and old into the fight
Having fun
In South West Six
With violence for a fix
Kiss me deadly, tonight

Seven o'clock they stand in rank
For the thirty bus uptown
And later in a downstairs room
She pulls her lover down
In ecstacy but they can't make a sound
Case her mother might come down
Having fun
In South West Six
Discovers teenage sex
Kiss me deadly, tonight

(Instrumental Break)

The Snooker Hall is empty
Cause they're all out playing pool
Hustling down the Fulham Road
Doing deals with Mr.Cool
Well They're on the waterfront now instead of being at school
Too old now, even to dig pinball
Having fun
In South West Six
Having fun
When a hidden flick knife flicks
With violence for a fix
Discovers teenage sex
Tried shooting up for kicks
Kiss me deadly
Kiss me deadly
Kiss me deadly
Kiss me
Kiss me tonight

Two Divided By Love


Two Divided By Love
Composer(s): Brian Potter - Dennis Lambert
Performer(s): The Ventures; The Grass Roots



Two divided by love
Can only be one
And one is a lonely number
Two divided by love
Can only be sad
Can only hurt one another

Every night your tears come down
And I know how you're feelin' inside
Loneliness is no one's friend
I've been takin' the same kind of ride
And that just shouldn't be
If you're still lovin' me
Come on baby

Two divided by love
Can only be one
And one is a lonely number
Two divided by love
Can only be sad
Can only hurt one another

I'd by lyin' to myself
If I said I was gettin' along
All I do is think of you and I know
That it's here you belong
Come on girl make your way
We can start from today
Puttin' it back together 'cause

Two divided by love
Can only be one
And one is a lonely number
Two divided by love
Can only be sad
Can only hurt one another

Take away the rain from a flower
And the flower just can't grow
Take away you from me girl
Out of my mind
Out of my mind
Out of my mind
Out of my mind

Two divided by love
Can only be sad
Can only be broken hearted
Two divided and blue
Should take what they had
And go back to where they started

Two divided by love
Can only be one
And one is a lonely number
Two divided by love
Can only be sad
Can only hurt one another

Iba Yo Para Una Fiesta


Iba Yo Para Una Fiesta
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Victor Jara



Iba yo para una fiesta
cuando me paso esta mano
procuro sacar temprano
el boleto es lo que cuenta.

El ruletero protesta
cuando el boleto me dio
diciendome de que yo
me lo pase de inocente
porque en el medio e’ la gente
una niña se aflojo

La niña muy asusta’
hallo a quien echarle culpa
y hallo muy buena disculpa
dandome a mi una mirada
se puso muy colorada
cuando yo le dije asi
señorita por aqui
que sera lo que ha pasado
algo se le ha refalado
del atracon que le di

La niña puso querella
y a justicia me llevo
ella dice que fui yo
y yo digo que fue ella
para una niña tan bella
claro que eso era una ofensa
el publico bien lo piensa
y el fiscal me pregunto
entonces le dije yo
ella fue la sinverguenza

Un hermano que tenia
se dio por muy ofendido
y como era merecido
me mando la policia
despues a mi me decia
porque te culpan a ti?
dicen señor que yo fui
por eso me traen preso
ella fue la del suceso
y me echa la culpa a mi

Al fin la niña despues
vino y me dio un reempujon
y yo con justa razon
otro empujon le pege
ahi se vino otra vez
me pego una de patadas
le aporre’ una bofetada
y se armo una pelotera
dijo el juez
todos pa’ fuera
a aflojarse por alla

We choose it, win or lose it
Love is never quite the same
I love you, now I've lost you
Don't feel bad, you're not to blame

So kiss me goodbye and I'll try not to cry
All the tears in the world won't change your mind
There's someone new and she's waiting for you
Soon your heart will be leaving me behind
Linger awhile, then I'll go with a smile
Like a friend who just happened to call
For the last time pretend your are mine
My darling, kiss me goodbye

I know now I must go now
Though my heart wants me to stay
That girl is your tomorrow
I belong to yesterday

So kiss me goodbye and I'll try not to cry
All the tears in the world won't change your mind
There's someone new and she's waiting for you
Soon your heart will be leaving me behind
Linger awhile, then I'll go with a smile
Like a friend who just happened to call
For the last time pretend your are mine
My darling, kiss me goodbye
My darling, kiss me goodbye

Two Brothers


Two Brothers
Composer(s): Irving Gordon
Performer(s): Kay Starr
and multiple other artists



Two brothers on their way
Two brothers on their way
Two brothers on their way
One wore blue, and one wore grey

One wore blue and one wore grey
As they marched along the way
A fife and drum began to play
All on a beautiful morning

One was gentle, one was kind
One was gentle, one was kind
One came home, one stayed behind
A cannonball don't pay no mind

A cannonball don't pay no mind
Though you're gentle or you're kind
It don't think of the folks behind
All on a beautiful morning

Two girls waiting by the railroad track
Two girls waiting by the railroad track
For their darlings to come back
One wore blue, and one wore black

One wore blue, and one wore black
Waiting by the railroad track
For their darlings to come back
All on a beautiful morning

One wore blue, and one wore black
Waiting by the railroad track
For their darlings to come back
All on a beautiful morning

All on a beautiful morning

I.O.U.


I.O.U.
Composer(s): Jimmy Dean; Larry Markes
Performer(s): Jimmy Dean



Many people look through their wallet or their pocket books and, way down at the bottom
past the credit cards and baby pictures and so on
you usually find a little 'ol piece of dog-eared poetry
I was cleaning out my wallet the other day and ran across a whole bunch of I.O.U's, some of 'em thirty-five years overdue
And you know the funny thing, all these I.O.U's are owed to one person
and I kinda felt like that maybe now would be a pretty good time for an accountin'

Mom, I sure hope you're listenin'

Sweet lady, I.O.U. for so many things.....
A lot of services, like nightwatchman for instance.....
Lyin' awake nights, listenin' for coughs and cries and creakin'
floorboards.....hah-hah, and me comin' in too late
Boy, you had the eye of an eagle and the roar of a lion
But you always had a heart as big as a house

I.O.U. for services like, uh, short order cook, chef, baker.....
For makin' sirloin out o' hamburger an' turkey out o' tuna fish
And big ol' strappin' boys out of leftovers

I.O.U. for cleanin' services
The daily scrubbing of face and ears....all work done by hand
And for the frequent dustin' of a small boy's pants
To try to make sure that you led a spotless life
And for washin' and ironin' that no laundry could ever do
Foy dryin' the tears of childhood
And ironin' out the problems of growin' up

I.O.U. for services as a bodyguard
For protectin' me from the terrors of thunderstorms and nightmares
Hah, And too many green apples

And Lord knows, I.O.U. for medical attention
For nursing me through measles, mumps, bruises
Bumps, splinters and spring fever
Oh-oh, let's not forget medical advice....important things like
"If you keep on scratching that, it'll never get well" or
"If you cross your eyes, they're gonna stick like that"
And probably the most important advice of all
"Boy, you be sure you got on clean underwear, in case you're in an accident"

And I.O.U. for veterinarian services
For feeding every lost dog that I dragged home at the end of the rope
And for healing the pains of puppy love

And I.O.U. for entertainment.....
Entertainment that kept the household goin' through some pretty rough times.....
And for wonderful productions at Christmas, the Fourth of July, Birthdays.....
And for making make-believe come true.....
And you did it all on such a limited budget

I.O.U. for construction work, for building kites and confidence, hopes and dreams an'.....
Somehow you made them all touch the sky.....
And for cementin' together a family
So it would stand the worst kind of shocks and blows.....
And for layin' down a good strong foundation to build a life on

I.O.U. for carrier charges.....
For carryin' me on your books for the necessities of life
That a growin' boy somehow, well, they just gotta have
Things like, hah-hah, a pair of high top boots
With a little pocket on the side for a jack-knife

And one thing, Mom, I'll never forget....
When there were two pieces of pie and three hungry people.....
You were always the one who decided, well, I'm not really that hungry anyhow

These are just a few of the things for which payment is long overdue..
The person that I owe 'em to worked very, very cheap....
She managed by simply doin' without a whole lot o' things that she needed herself....
My I.O.U's add up to more than I could ever hope to repay
But you know the nicest thing about it all....
That I know, that she had marked the entire bill 'Paid In Full'
For just one kiss and four little words....Mom, I Love You!

Kiss Me Goodnight, Sergeant-Major


Kiss Me Goodnight, Sergeant-Major
Composer(s): Art Noell; Don Pelosi
Performer(s): Arthur Askey;
Alan Breeze; Vera Lynn; George Formby;
Len Luscombe; Elsie Carlisle; Chas & Dave



Private Jones came in one night
Full of cheer and very bright
He'd been out all day upon the spree
He bumped into Sergeant Smeck
Put his arms around his neck
And in his ear he whispered tenderly.....

Kiss me goodnight, Sergeant-Major
Tuck me in my little wooden bed
We all love you, Sergeant-Major
When we hear you bawling, "Show a leg!"

Don't forget to wake me in the morning
And bring me 'round a nice hot cup of tea
Kiss me goodnight Sergeant-Major
Sergeant-Major, be a mother to me

Kiss me goodnight, Sergeant-Major
Tuck me in my little wooden bed
We all love you, Sergeant-Major
Even when your neck grows rather red

Don't forget to wake me in the morning
And bring me 'round a nice hot cup of tea
Kiss me goodnight, Sergeant-Major
Sergeant-Major, be a mother to me
