You Are Everything
You Are Everything
Composer(s): Thom Bell; Linda Creed
Performer(s): Rod Stewart
Today I saw somebody who looked just like you
She walked like you do I thought it was you
As she turned the corner I called out your name
I felt so ashamed but it wasn't you, wasn't you
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
Oh you are everything and everything is you
How can I forget when each face that I see
brings back memories of being with you
I just can't go on livin' life as I do
comparing each girl to you
knowing they just won't do, they're not you
You are everything
Everything is you
You're everything to me girl
I miss you baby
Everything is you
You are everything
Every little thing
You're all I've got
Girl, you're everything to me
You are everything and everything is you
Everything to me

Stroker's Theme
Stroker's Theme
Composer(s): Charlie Daniels
Performer(s): The Charlie Daniels Band
Stroker Ace was born to race
He had a mean streak ten feet wide
A son of a gun with a taste for fun
And more than his share of pride
Take a dirt road curve with the Devil's nerve
And make a car dance across the mud
Haulin' shine was his regular line
'Til the track got in his blood
He was a real hot shot and he bragged a lot
But man, that fool could drive
Cause he loved the feel of a steering wheel and the girls with the bedroom eyes
And in a racing tight or a bar room fight
Old Stroker stole the show
A back street blazer and a real hell raiser and a racetrack Romeo
Mama lock your daughters up that wild bunch is back in town
And them little girls get frisky when they hear that racecar sound
They bringin out the yellow flag, somebody's brakes have failed
There's an oilslick on the inside and a wreck along the rail
You better stand on it, Stroker, cause a bandit's on your tail.
It's a downright joy for a country boy
When he hears them engines moan
But you gotta hang tough and it gets real rough
When you're out there on your own
Cause they'll push you around, they'll knock you down
When you're up there against the wall
And you always know when an engine blows
That a man can't win 'em all
You could push that car just a little too far any Sunday afternoon
And if you break your neck in some d*** fool's wreck they'd forget about you soon
But old Stroker Ace was born to race and it's worth all the trying
Just to drink champagne in the Victory Lane and to hear that concrete whine
Stroker get your dander up this ain't no time to lag
You've got to make a lap up if you want to take that checkered flag
Number ten is closin' in to even up the score
It's time to wave bye-bye and put the pedal on the floor
You better stand on it Stroker cause you're blowin' off their doors.
Blow their doors off, Stroker
Stand on it, Son
Ah, you good lookin' devil, you

You Are Beautiful
You Are Beautiful
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II; Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis;
and various other artists
You are beautiful, small, and shy
You are the girl whose eyes met mine just as your boat sailed by
This I know of you, nothing more
You are the girl whose eyes met mine passing the river shore
You are the girl whose laugh I heard
Silver and soft and bright
Soft as the fall of lotus leaves
Brushing the air of night
While your flower boat sailed away
Gently your eyes looked back on mine
Clearly you heard me say
"You are the girl I will love some day"
While your flower boat sailed away
Gently your eyes looked back on mine
Clearly you heard me say
"You are the girl I will love some day"

Stroke Of Genius
Stroke Of Genius
Composer(s): Tim Mosher - Fred Schneider
Performer(s): Fred Schneider & Six Finger Satellite
Where's your spirit, baby?
Is it in your room?
The aura of lemon yellow
Will be gone soon
There's nothing I can do
No, there's nothing I can do
I just need to concentrate
Sort my feelings
Keep them straight
Stroke of genius
I'm a liar
Emotions surface
I perspire
Stroke of genius
You're the liar
Emotions surface
I'm so tired
Emotions surface
I'm so tired
Love is just for dreamers
When it seems so true
My words are too contained
And there's nothing I can do
Coffee on my garden
Flowers grow higher
Candles on the lawn
Start a forest fire
Coffee on my garden
Flowers grow higher
Candles on the lawn
Start a forest fire
Candles on the lawn
Start a forest fire
Stroke of genius
I'm a liar
Emotions surface
I perspire
Stroke of genius
You're the liar
Emotions surface
I'm so tired
Emotions surface
I'm so tired
Where's your spirit, baby?
Was it smoke and air?
Everything's off balance
What gave you such a scare?
No, there's nothing I can do
I just need to concentrate
Sort my feelings
Keep them straight
Coffee on my garden
Flowers grow higher
Candles on the lawn
Start a forest fire
Coffee on my garden
Flowers grow higher
Candles on the lawn
Start a forest fire
Coffee on my garden
Flowers grow higher
Candles on the lawn
Start a forest fire
Candles on the lawn
Start a forest fire

You Are
Composer(s): Lionel Richie; Brenda Harvey-Ritchie
Performer(s): Lionel Ritchie
Baby you'll find
There's only one love
Yours and mine
I've got so much love
And needing you so
My love for you
I'll never let go
I've got so much love
All I want is to hold you
Let me show how much I love you baby (Show you)
I don't mind and I don't mind (Loving you)
Girl I love you
There's no one above you
(Chorus)
You are the sun
You are the rain
That makes my life this foolish game
You need to know
I love you so
And I'd do it all again and again
Tell me it's true
I can't believe you do what you do
I've got so much love
And my love you'll see
We'll stay together, just you and me
I've got so much love
Only you (know me)
Tell me how to love you baby (show me)
I don't mind and I don't mind (tell me)
Girl, I love you
Always thinking of you
(Chorus)
You are the sun
You are the rain
That makes my life this foolish game
You need to know
I love you so
And I'd do it all again and again
I know you know the way I feel
And I need your love for always
Cause when I'm with you
I fall in love
Again and again and again, Baby
(Repeat Chorus)

Strip Polka
Strip Polka
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters
and multiple other artists
There's a burlesque theatre where the gang loves to go
To see Queenie the cutie of the burlesque show
And the thrill of the evening is when out Queenie skips
And the band plays the polka while she strips
"Take it off," "Take it off" Cries a voice from the rear
"Take it off," Take it off" Soon it's all you can hear
But she's always a lady even in pantomime
So she stops! And always just in time
She's as fresh and as wholesome as the flowers in May
And she hopes to retire to the farm someday
But you can't buy a farm until you're up in the chips
So the band plays the polka while she strips
"Take it off," "Take it off" all the customers shout,
"Down in front" "Down in front" while the band beats it out
But she's always a lady even in pantomime
So she stops! And always just in time
Queenie, Queen of them all
Queenie, someday you'll fall
Someday church bells will chime
In strip polka time
Oh! She hates corny waltzes and she hates the gavotte
And there's one big advantage if the music's hot
It's a fast moving exit just in case something rips
So the band plays the polka while she strips
Drop around, take it in, it's the best in the west
"Take it off," "Take it off" you can yell like the rest
Take her out when it's over, she's a peach when she's dressed
But she stops! And always just in time
Queenie, Queen of them all
Queenie, someday you'll fall
Someday church bells will chime
In strip polka time

You Angel You
You Angel You
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Manfred Mann's Earth Band;
Alpha Band; Bob Dylan; The New Riders Of The Purple Sage
You angel you
You got me under your wing
And the way you walk
And the way you talk
Feel I could almost sing
You angel you
You're as fine as ev'rything's fine
Though I just walk
And I watch you talk
Your memory's on my mind
Even though I can't sleep at night for trying
Well I never did feel this way before
Never did get up and walk the floor
If this is love then give me more
and more and more
and more and more
You angel you
You're as fine as fine can be
And the way you walk
And the way you talk
Is the way it ought to be
You angel you

Strings In The Earth And Air
Strings In The Earth And Air
Composer(s): Ivan Pawle
Performer(s): Robin Williamson
Strings in the earth and the air
make music sweet
strings by the river
where the willows meet
there's music along the river
for love wanders there
pale flowers on his mantle
dark leaves on his hair
all softly straying
with head to the music bent
and fingers playing
upon an instrument
twilight turns from amethyst
to deep and deeper blue
lamps light with a pale green glow
the trees of the avenue
the old piano plays an air
sedate and slow and gay
she bends upon the yellow keys
her head inclines this way
shy thoughts and grave wide eyes
and hands that wander as they list
twilight turns a darker blue
with lights of amethyst

You And Your Sister
You And Your Sister
Composer(s): Chris Bell
Performer(s): Chris Bell; Angelou;
Big Star; Pyramidiacs; This Mortal Coil
They say my love for you ain't real
But you don't know how real it feels
All I want to do
Is to spend some time with you
So I can hold you, hold you
Your sister says that I'm no good
I'd reassure her if I could
All I want to do
Is to spend some time with you
So I can hold you, hold you
Plans fail every day
I want to hear you say
Your love won't be leaving (Run Run, Run Run)
Your eyes ain't deceiving (Run Run, Run Run)
Fears will soon fade away
Smile now, don't be afraid
All I want to do
Is to spend some time with you
So I can hold you, hold you
And let me whisper in your ear
Don't you worry, they can't hear
All I want to do
Is to spend some time with you
So I can hold you

You And The Night And The Music
You And The Night And The Music
Composer(s): Arthur Schwartz; Howard Dietz
Performer(s): Julie London;
and various other artists
You and the night and the music
Fill me with flaming desire
Setting my being completely on fire
You and the night and the music
Thrill me but will we be one
After the night and the music are done?
Until the pale light of dawning and daylight
Our hearts will be throbbing guitars
Morning may come without warning
And take away the stars
If we must live for the moment
Love till the moment is through
After the night and the music die
Will I have you
Until the pale light of dawning and daylight
Our hearts will be throbbing guitars
Morning may come without warning
And take away the stars
If we must live for the moment
Love till the moment is through
After the night and the music die
Will I have you
You and the night and the music
You and the night
You

You And Me Against The World
You And Me Against The World
Composer(s): Kenny Ascher; Paul Williams
Performer(s): Helen Reddy;
and various other artists
You and me against the world
Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world
When all the others turn their backs and walked away
You can count on me to stay
Remember when the circus came to town
How you were frightened by the clown
Wasn't it nice to be around someone that you knew
Someone who was big and strong and looking out for
You and me against the world
Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world
And for all the times we've cried I always felt that
God was on our side
And when one of us is gone
And one of us is left to carry on
Then remembering will have to do
Our memories alone will get us through
Think about the days of me and you
Of you and me against the world

Strike The Bell Second Mate
Strike The Bell Second Mate
(Traditional)
Down on the quarter deck and walking about
There is the second mate so steady and so stout
What he is a-thinkin' of he doesn't know himself
And we wish that he would hurry up and strike, strike the bell
Strike the bell second mate, let us go below
Look ya well to windward you can see it's gonna blow
Look at the glass, you can see it has fell
Oh we wish that you would hurry up and strike, strike the bell
Down on the main deck and workin' at the pumps
There is the starboard watch just longing for their bunks
Look out to windward, and see a great swell
And we wish that you would hurry up and strike, strike the bell
Forward on the forecastle head and keepin' sharp lookout
Yonder Johnson standin', a-longin' fer to shout
Lights' a-burnin' bright sir and everything is well
And he's wishin' that the second mate would strike, strike the bell
Aft at the wheelhouse old Anderson stands
Graspin' at the helm with his frostbitten hands
Lookin' at the compass through the course is clear as hell
And he's wishin' that the second mate would strike, strike the bell
Aft on the quarter deck our gallant captain stands
Starin' out to sea with a spyglass in his hand
What he is a-thinkin' of we know very well
He's thinkin' more of shortenin' sail than strikin' the bell

You And Me (Charles Aznavour)
You And Me
((French Version: Toi Et Moi (Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Jean-Pierre Bourtayre - Jacques Revaux
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
You and me
Two hearts that melt and flow into infinity
We leave the world we know to voyage breathlessly
Our bed, the sea
And in its waves, just you and me
You and me
Free of wrong and right of old taboos and lies
And in our endless night
Come dreams and whispered sighs
Caressingly, to you and me
Through deserted hopes that we must hold anew
Love has filled our emptiness and waiting
The unprotected children that we were before
Turned into you and me
Reborn in love once more
Carry me beyond all doubt and fears
Of passion's fantasy
To God created spirits, desire's destiny
Made heavenly for you and me
Aahhh-aahh-aahh
When I had no faith, you taught me how to care
Giving me a second chance of living
Most words are only words
But your's become my prayer
My body and my soul, you echo everywhere
Pleasure me, until the early morning light
Make love to me
I hear your every turn
So all my days can be
Drowned in the sea, aahhhh, you and me

Baby's Awake Now
Baby's Awake Now
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Lorenz Hart
Performer(s): Lee Wiley
Out of the ether and into the air Baby opens her eyes and cries
"Let the party start again!"
Powders her nose and fixes her hair, sees how the landscape lies and sighs
"Bring your baby all the men!"
And then, out where the wild gardenias grow
Baby has got her chance
So let her dance!
Baby's awake now!
Baby can do things!
Ready to shake her chassis
Baby has new springs!
Baby can learn how
Baby can dance rings round ev'ry other lassie
Baby can do things!
Her deportment isn't so mild
Mammy, get your wandering wild child!
Beat on the big drum!
She's making her bow, burn up the baby's cradle!
Baby's awake now!
