Paul Evans; Clark Terry
What happiness is
Happiness is
(Happiness is)
Happiness is
(Happiness is)
Happiness is
(Happiness is)
Different things to different people
That's what happiness is
To the preacher
It's a prayer, prayer, prayer
To the Beatles
It's a "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah"
To the golfer
It's a hole in one
To the father
It's a brand new son
Happiness is
(Happiness is)
Happiness is
(Happiness is)
Happiness is
(Happiness is)
Different things to different people
That's what happiness is
To the beatnik
It's his beard, beard, beard
To the monster
Something weird, weird, weird
To a night owl
It's a good days sleep
To the Yankee's
It's a four game sweep
Happiness is
(Happiness is)
Happiness is
(Happiness is)
Happiness is
(Happiness is)
Different things to different people
That's what happiness is
On the desert
It's a drink, drink, drink
To the show girl
It's a mink, mink, mink
To the banker
Lots and lots of dough
To a racer
It's a GTO
To a sailor
It's the sea, sea, sea
To my mother
Why, it's me, me, me
To the birdies
It's the sky above
But, to my mind
It's the one I love
Happiness is
(Happiness is)
Happiness is
(Happiness is)
Happiness is
(Happiness is)
Different things to different people
That's what happiness is
Happiness is!

A Cockeyed Optimist
A Cockeyed Optimist
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Mary Martin
and multiple other artists
Nellie:
When the skies are brighter canary yellow
I forget ev'ry cloud I've ever seen
So they called me a cockeyed optimist
Immature and incurably green
I have heard people rant and rave and bellow
That we're done and we might as well be dead
But I'm only a cockeyed optimist
And I can't get it into my head
I hear the human race
Is fallin' on its face
And hasn't very far to go
But ev'ry whippoorwill
Is sellin' me a bill
And tellin' me it just ain't so
I could say life is just a bowl of Jello
And appear more intelligent and smart
But I'm stuck like a dope
With a thing called hope
And I can't get it out of my heart!
Not this heart...

I love the way you love to live
You got life, you're inspiration
I love the way that you do
Your heart's so freely
You're a sweet sensation
You're my invitation to happiness
You're full of sweet surprises, happiness
You fill my heart desire
More, more, more and more
And over and over again
Keep that goodness coming
I love the way you watch the world
Through kind eyes
That's why you're never sad, sad
Things don't bother you
Like dos, don'ts and whys
You hold on to the good
And you let the bad go by
Yeah, yeah
Happiness
I want your love forever
Happiness
Give me your love forever
More, more, more and more
And over and over again
Keep that goodness coming
Happiness
Give me your love forever
Happiness
Say you'll leave me never
More, more, more and more
And over and over again
Keep that goodness coming
Keep it coming, keep it coming
Keep it coming, coming
Keep it coming, keep it coming
Keep it, keep it coming

For A Thousand Years
For A Thousand Years
Composer(s): Sašo Fajon - Primož Peterca
First performance by: Darja Švajger - 1999
Teardrops in my eyes, a dance of glistening rain
Falling from the sky, a carpet of the stars
Clouds of tenderness are fleeing in the light
Now it's here, the light for a thousand years
I tremble in your eyes, I tremble in your palms
Lie inside you deep, in dreams of yours I sleep
Caress you with my eyes and love you with my hands
Yes, I feel the light for a thousand years
I know you are my love
A touch, a kiss, your heart is mine
I know the light is always here
We kiss each other in its shine
I tremble in your eyes, I tremble in your palms
Lie inside you deep, in dreams of yours I sleep
Caress you with my eyes and love you with my hands
Yes, I feel the light for a thousand years
I know you are my love
A touch, a kiss, your heart is mine
I know the light is always here
We kiss each other in its shine

Happiness (Scrooge)
Happiness
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
They say happiness
Is a thing you can't see
A thing you can't touch
I disagree
Happiness is standing beside
A can see him
He can see me
Happiness is whatever
You want it to be
Happiness is a high hill
Will I find it?
Yes, I will
Happiness is a tall tree
Can I climb it?
Watch, and see
They say happiness is
The folly of fools
Pity for me
One of the fools
Happiness is smiling upon me
Walking my way
Sharing my day
Happiness is whatever
You want it to be
Happiness is a bright star
Are we happy?
Yes, we are
Happiness is a clear sky
Give me wings
And let me fly
Let me fly
For, happiness
Is whatever you want it
To be

South Of The Border
South Of The Border ((aka South Of The Border (Down Mexico Way))
Composer(s): Jimmy Kennedy - Michael Carr
First recording - Billy Cotton - 1939
Covered by multiple other artists
South of the border - down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love, where the stars above - came out to play
And now as I wander - my thoughts ever stray
South of the border - down Mexico way
She was a picture - in old Spanish lace
Just for a tender while, I kissed a smile - upon her face
'Cause it was fiesta - and we were so gay
South of the border - Mexico way
Then she smiled as she whispered "mañana"
Never dreaming that we were parting
Then I lied as a whispered "mañana"
'Cause our tomorrow never came
South of the border - I jumped back one day
There in a veil of white, by the candle light - she knelt to pray
The mission bells told me (ding-dong) - that I musn't stay
South of the border - Mexico way
Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay!Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay!Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay!Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay!

Happiness (Charlie Brown)
Happiness
Composer(s): Clark Gesner
Happiness is finding a pencil
Sleeping in moon light
Telling the time
Happiness is learning to whistle
Tying your shoe
For the very first time
Happiness is playing the drum
In your own school band
And happiness is walking hand in hand
Happiness is two kinds of ice cream
Knowing a secret
Climbing a tree
Happiness is five different crayons
Catching a firefly
Setting him free
And happiness is being alone every now and then
And happiness is coming home again
Happiness is morning and evening
Daytime and nighttime too
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That's loved by you
Happiness is having a sister
Sharing a sandwich
Getting along
Happiness is singing together
When day is through
And happiness is those who sing with you
Happiness is morning and evening
Daytime and nighttime too
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That's loved by you

Say It Again (Precious)
Say It Again
Composer(s): Paul Varney
First performance by: Precious - 1999
Say it again...
I know I heard you right
I've been a-lyin' awake at night
Thinkin' about three words you said to me...
I know it's hard for you
Sometimes you gotta let the feeling through
I wanna know exactly how you feel
Ooh yeah
I've tried to be patient
And give you a little more time
Now I need to be sure
What's on your mind
Say it again (say it)
Say the words I heard you whisper
Say it again (say it)
When last night we were together
Lyin' next to me, you said to me
(Say it) say it again
I knew right from the start
You were livin' with a broken heart
But baby, I knew, could take some time to heal...
But now I must confess
The way you're fillin' me with happiness
Think that we could be startin' somethin' real
Ooh yeah...
I've tried to be patient
And give you a little more time
Now I need to be sure
What's on your mind
Say it again (say it)
Say the words I heard you whisper
Say it again (say it)
When last night we were together
Lyin' next to me, you said to me
(Say it) say it again
And I just need to be sure
That you're mine forever
All I'm asking you for
Is to tell me whether
I should be trustin' in you
Tell me if the words you whispered were true
Whoh
(Say it, say it, say it, say it...)
Say it again (say it)
Say the words I heard you whisper
Say it again (say it)
When last night we were together
Lyin' next to me, you said to me
(Say it)
Say it again (say it)
Say the words I heard you whisper
Say it again (say it)
When last night we were together
Lyin' next to me, you said to me
(Say it) say it again

Happiness (Bill Anderson)
Happiness
Composer(s): Bill Anderson
Performer(s): Bill Anderson
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
To me this old world is a wonderful place
And I'm just about the luckiest human in the whole human race
I've got no silver and I've got no gold
Just a whole lot of happiness in my soul
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
Happiness to me is an ocean tide
Or a sunset fading on a mountain side
Or maybe a big old heaven full of stars up above
When I'm in the arms of the one I love
Happiness is a field of grain
Lifting its face to the falling rain
I can see it in the sunshine, I breathe it in the rain
Happiness everywhere
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
A wise old man told me one time
That happiness is nothing but a frame of mind
I hope when you go to measuring my success
That you don't count my money count my happiness
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness

Hanoi Hannah
Composer(s): Jacques Levy; Roger McGuinn
Performer(s): Roger McGuinn
Hanoi Hannah averaged bout a man a day
and when she wasn´t working
she kept the coffee perking
for the guy who didn´t have to pay
On Hanoi Hanna workin´ all my blues away
My home is in Kentucky but lovin´ makes me want to stay
The captain says I´m lucky
but the chaplan says I ought to pray
And Hanoi Hanna workin´ all my blues away
Well I never would have thought
I´d get so lost out here
Smokin´ marijuana and drinkin´ beer
and trying not to think about the time next year
when me and all my buddies gonna disappear
Hanoi Hanna workin´ all my blues away
Hanoi Hannah took her shoes and ran away
When I hold her I was headin´
to have myself a weddin´
to my baby in the U.S.A.
Good-bye Hannah I really don´t know what to say
Well good-bye Hannah
Well good-bye Hannah

South Coast
South Coast
Composer(s): Lillian Bos Ross - Sam Eskin - Rich Dehr - Frank Miller
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio
and multiple other artists
South Coast, the wild coast, is lonely
You may win at a game at Jolon
But the lion still rules the barranca
and a man there is always alone
My name is Juan Hano de Castro
My father was a Spanish grandee
But I won my wife in a card game
to Hell with the Lords oversee
I picked up the ace
I had won her!
My heart, which was down at my feet
Jumped up to my throat in a hurry
Like a warm summer's day, she was sweet
South Coast, the wild coast, is lonely
You may win at a game at Jolon
But the lion still rules the barranca
and a man there is always alone
Her arms had to tighten around me
as we rode up the hills from the south
Not a word did I hear from her that day
or a kiss from her pretty red mouth
We came to my cabin at twilight
The stars twinkled out on the coast
She soon loved the valley, the orchard
but I knew that she loved me the most
South Coast, the wild coast, is lonely
You may win at a game at Jolon
But the lion still rules the barranca
and a man there is always alone
Then I got hurt in a landslide
with crushed hip and twice-broken bone
She saddled our pony like lightning
rode off in the night, all alone
The lion screamed in the barranca
the pony fell back on the slide
My young wife lay dead in the moonlight
My heart died that night with my bride
South Coast, the wild coast, is lonely
You may win at a game at Jolon
But the lion still rules the barranca
and a man there is always alone

Hannibal Mo-(Zouree)!
Composer(s): Robert B. Sherman; Richard M. Sherman
Load up the vittles, pickles, and hams
Melons, and cherry pie
Fritters and dumplin's
Turkeys and yams
Pack in a big supply
Apples and peaches
Soda to sip
Cider is gonna flow
With a hey and a ho
And away we go
On a holiday in Hannibal, Mo…(zouree)!
Latch up the windows
Lock up the doors
Gotta get on the go
Line up the buggies
Wagons, and rigs
Meet all the folks you know
You bring the fiddle
You bring the drum
You bring the old banjo
And a hey and a ho
And away we'll go
On a holiday in Hannibal, Mo…(zouree)!
Lady:
Who brung the watermelons?
Man:

By the box of red plums
Who brung the lemonade?
Lady: Ask her

With the buttermilk churn
Where's Mary?
Man:

Boys:
Standin' guard on the jams and jelly
Boy:
Where's all the fireworks?
Boy:
Don't know
Kids:
But you're gonna see `em
All the way from here to St. Jo
All:
Better get ready
The time is right
We'll be gone all day
And half of the night
The road is rugged,
So hold on tight
No time for lollygaggin'
Everybody on the wagon
Driver:
Giddap!
All:
Get up the horses
Give `em the reigns
They know the way to go
Down by the river
Over the ridge
Into the old meadow
Oh, what a feelin'
Oh, what a day
Bright as a daisy glow
With a hey and a ho
And away we go
On a holiday in Hannibal, Mo…(zouree)!
Oh, what a feelin'
Oh, what a day
Bright as a daisy glow
With a hey and a ho
And away we go
On a holiday in Hannibal, Mo…(zouree)!
Oh, what a feelin'
Oh, what a day
Bright as a daisy glow
With a hey and a ho
And away we go
On a holiday in Hannibal, Missouri

No Quiero Escuchar
No Quiero Escuchar
First performance by: Lydia - 1999
Hace tiempo que ocultas la verdad
Te traiciona tu tenue ingenuidad al hablar
¿A quién tratas de engañar?
Vi dos sombras saliendo de un portal
Seguí los pasos cómplice de la oscuridad
Dura realidad, oh yeah
Sentí morir al verla abrazándote
No, no quiero escuchar
Tu voz susurrar que me has querido
Sé cual es la verdad
Qui se confiar y me has mentido
Ahora dices que fue una confusión
Sólo celos, fruto de me imaginación
Partiste mi vida en dos
Oh yeah, sentí morir al verla abrazándote
No, no quiero escuchar
Tu voz susurrar que me has querido
Sé cual es la verdad
Qui se confiar y me has mentido
(No), no
(No quiero escuchar), no quiero escuchar
(Tu voz susurrar), susurrar
(Que me has querido)
Sé cual es la verdad
Qui se confiar y me has mentido
No quiero escuchar

South City Midnight Lady
South City Midnight Lady
Composer(s): Patrick Simmons
Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers
Up all night I could not sleep
The whiskey that I drank was cheap
With shakin' hands I went and I lit up my last cigarette
Well the sun came, night had fled
And sleepy eyed I reached my bed
I saw you sleepy dreamin' there all covered and warm
South City midnight lady
I'm much obliged indeed
You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need
I thought there was no reason
For all these things I do
But the smile that sent out returned with you
When day has left the night behind
And shadows roll across my mind
I sometimes find myself alone out walkin' the street
Yes, and when I'm feelin' down and blue
Then all I do is think of you
And all my foolish problems seem to fade away
South City midnight lady
I'm much obliged indeed
You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need
I thought there was no reason
For all these things I do
But the smile that sent out returned with you

Composer(s): Paul Craft
Performer(s): Moe Bandy; Paul Craft
Refrain:
You wrote Your Cheatin' Heart about
A gal like my first ex-wife
You Moan The Blues for me and for you
Hank Williams, You Wrote My Life
The Cold, Cold Heart and a doubtful mind
I have known a few myself
And the gal that loved me Half As Much
As she loved somebody else
Refrain:
I've heard that blue old whipporwill, too
And the Lonesome Whistle whine
I know that feel; so cold, so real
When The Blues Come Around at midnight
We've never met, I know and yet
I know you well, My Friend
And if ever I, get to heaven on high
I hope you'll shake my hand
Refrain:

Like The Wind
Like The Wind
Composer(s): Ilia Beyers - Emma Philippa Hjälmås - Wim Claes - John Terra
First performance by: Vanessa Chinitor - 1999
The wind has blown for eternity
Never looking back, never giving in – never
Causing the waves on the stormy sea
But never staying long, always running on – always
Running on endlessly, and I know that I have to be
Like the wind, be like the wind
Like the wind: run forever free
The mountains, full of serenity
Uncaring 'bout the wind, never giving in – never
But waves that roll on the stormy sea
Turn mountains into dust, the wind, it wins at last – always
Running on endlessly, and I know that I have to be
Like the wind, be like the wind
Like the wind: run forever free
Running on endlessly, and I know that I have to be
Like the wind (The wind has blown for eternity)
Be like the wind (The wind has blown for eternity)
Like the wind (The wind has blown for eternity)
Run forever free
