Sweeter Than Candy

Sweeter Than Candy
Composer(s): Carl Perkins
Performer(s): Carl Perkins

With a dirty nose pressed hard against the window
Of a candy store one day
A ragged little girl stood barefoot
While the hurried crowd went madly on their way

One lady stopped and smiled; she said, "I think I'll go inside
And would you like to come along with me?"
Then behind that dirty face, she saw a smile that made her day
They just don't make candy that sweet

Then she bought some shoes for her little feet
Then dressed her up fit for a queen
And with a smile that came from heaven
She said, "Ma'am, I sure do thank you"
With an angel twinkle in her eyes
She said, "Ma'am, I sure do thank you
And Boy, I sure look pretty"
And then she asked, "Are you God's wife?"

Are we walkin' too fast to see
A barefoot child on a lonely street
Are we rushin' by the ones in need
Or will some child play for you and me

With a smile that came from heaven
She said, "Ma'am", I sure do love you"
With an angel twinkle in her eyes
She said, "Ma'am, I sure do thank you
And boy, I sure look pretty"
And then she asked, "Are you God's wife?"

She said, "Ma'am, I sure do thank you
And boy, I sure look pretty"
And then she asked, "Are you God's wife?"

You'll Never Know

You'll Never Know
Composer(s): Mack Gordon; Harry Warren
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney;
and various other artists

You'll never know just how much I miss you
You'll never know just how much I care
And if I tried, I still couldn't hide my love for you
You ought to know, for haven't I told you so
A million or more times?

You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now

(You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer)
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now

You'll never know if you don't know now

Sweetblood Call

Sweetblood Call
Composer(s): Louisiana Red - Kent Cooper
Performer(s): Louisiana Red; Eric Burdon; Willie Murphy

I have a hard time missing you baby, with my pistol in your mouth
Mmmm have a hard time missing you baby, with my pistol in your mouth
You may be thinking 'bout going north, but your brains are staying south

Just roll your pretty eyes, if you intend to stay
Just roll your pretty eyes, if you intend to stay
Close 'em up again, and I blow your world away

I see your eyes are rollin'
Must mean your love for me has come back
Must mean you're satisfied again
With our little wooden country shack

I have a hard time missing you baby
With my pistol in your mouth
You may be thinking about going north woman,
But your brains are staying south

Even if you sneak away
I'll find you before nightfall
You're tied to me girl
I can feel your sweetblood call

Even if you sneak away
I'll find you before nightfall
Caused you are tied to me girl
I can feel your sweetblood call

You'll Never Get To Heaven (If You Break My Heart)

You'll Never Get To Heaven (If You Break My Heart)
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David
Performer(s): Dionne Warwick;
and various other artists

Mother told me always to follow the golden rule
And she said it's really a sin to be mean and cruel
So remember if you're untrue
Angels up in heaven are looking at you

(Chorus)
You'll never get to heaven if you break my heart
so be very careful not to make us part
You won't get to heaven if you break my heart ...

I've been hearin' rumors about how you play around
Though I don't believe what I hear, still it get's me down
If you ever should say goodbye
I'd feel so awful the angels would cry

Chorus

(if you break my heart, If you break my heart)

I can hardly wait for the day when we say I do
It's a day i dreamed of so long now comin' true
You will promise to cherish me
If you break your promise the angels will see

Chorus

La, la, la, la, la, la, laaaaa, la, la, la, laaaaa, la, la, la, laaaaa
La, la, la, la, la, la, laaaaa, la. la, la, laaaaa, la, la, la, laaaaa

Sweet Young Thing

Sweet Young Thing
Composer(s): Gerry Goffin - Carole King - Michael Nesmith
The Monkees; Western Electric

Know that something very strange
Is happening to my brain
I'm either feeling very good
Or else I am insane
The seeds of doubt you planted
Have started to grow wild
But feel that I must yield before
The wisdom of a child

And it's love you bring
No that I can't deny
With your wings
I can learn to fly
Sweet young thing

People try to talk to me
Their words are ugly sounds
But I resist all their attempts
To try and bring me down..
Turned on to the sunset
Like I've never done before
And I listen for your footsteps
And your know upon the door

And it's love you bring
With dreams of bluer skies
All these things
When I seem them in your eyes
Sweet young thing

You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine

You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine
Composer(s): Kenny Gamble; Leon Huff
Performer(s): Lou Rawls;
and various other artists

You'll never find, as long as you live
Someone who loves you tender like I do
You'll never find, no matter where you search
Someone who cares about you the way I do

Whoa, I'm not braggin' on myself, baby
But I'm the one who loves you
And there's no one else!
No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh one else

You'll never find, it'll take the end of all time
Someone to understand you like I do
You'll never find the rhythm, the rhyme
All the magic we shared, just us two

Whoa, I'm not tryin' to make you stay, baby
But I know some how, some day, some way
You are (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my lo-o-ove

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh (you're gonna miss my lovin')
Late in the midnight hour, baby (you're gonna miss my lovin')
When it's cold outside (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my lo-o-ove

You'll never find another love like mine
Someone who needs you like I do
You'll never see what you've found in me
You'll keep searching and searching your whole life through

Whoa, I don't wish you no bad luck, baby
But there's no ifs and buts or maybes

(You're gonna) You're gonna miss (miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
I know you're gonna my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my lo-o-ove

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh (you're gonna miss my lovin')
Late in the midnight hour, baby (you're gonna miss my lovin')
When it gets real cold outside (you're gonna miss my lovin')
I know, I know that you are gonna miss my lo-o-ove

Let me tell you that you're gonna miss my lovin'
Yes you will, baby (you're gonna miss my lovin')
When I'm long gone

Fade

I know, I know, I know that you are gonna miss

Sweet William

Sweet William

I love sweet William
Yes, he's my boy
And I'm his little doll
His favorite toy

He brings me candy
And kisses too
Because I'm stuck on him
I'll stick to him like glue

Oh, I need sweet William so
I'll never let him go
And I know our love will grow

I love sweet William
Yes, he's my thrill
And who will marry me?
Sweet William will

And I'm his little doll
His favorite toy

And who will marry me?

You'll Never Be Mine Again

You'll Never Be Mine Again
Composer(s): Buddy Killen; Jim Reeves
Performer(s): Jim Reeves; Kitty Wells

You'll never be mine again
Guess I've known it since, don't know when
I've just been pretending
I know I can't win

Let me hold you just one more time
And pretend that your world is mine
We'll whisper goodbye and then
You'll never be mine again

Someone else will know the thrill of holding you
And sharing all those little things we used to do
So, give me your sweetest smile
And let me just dream a while
Then my world will come to an end
You'll never be mine again

Someone else will know the thrill of holding you
And (of) sharing all those little things, we used to do
So, give me your sweetest smile
And let me just dream a while
Then my world will come to an end
You'll never be mine again

Sweet Was My Rose

Sweet Was My Rose
Performer(s): New Velvet Glove

Sweet was my Rose in the light of the rising sun Never forget her, gave her life for everyone Sweet was my Rose in the light of the rising sun Never forget her, gave her life for everyone On the day that I recall was a bright and sunny dawn And we hadn’t seen a yankee since a week Before the summer storm So, mother said to sister Rose: I guess, it’s safe to take a horse Get out and try to find your Dad and uncle Ben Though I protested, she said Hush your mouth! Your sister’s going! You’re too young! She rose out and I never saw my sister Rose again Well, as I hear tell that fateful morn She rose to Shannon Creek To make enquiries after Pa and uncle Ben And from there she rose to Shannon Valley and from afar She saw Pa and uncle Ben looked less alive than dead! There was Pa with his arms awaving to warn her But too late them damn yankees caught her Rose was shouting: Get out Pa and save your own skin Well, Rose, she was never seen again And Pa’s made up a kinda headstone ‘round the back of the house I took it upon myself to carve this inscription

Composer(s): Barbara Lynn Ozen
Performer(s): Barbara Lynn; Dina Carroll

If you should lose me, oh yeah
You’ll lose a good thing
If you should lose me, oh yeah
You’ll lose a good thing
You know I love you
I’ll do anything for you
Just don’t mistreat me
And I’ll be good to you
'Cause if you should lose me, you’ll lose a good thing
I’m giving you one more chance
For you to do right
If you’d only straighten up
Oh we could have a good life
'Cause if you should lose me, you’ll lose your good thing
This is my last time
I’m not asking anymore
If you don’t do right
I’m gonna walk right out that door
And if you don’t believe me
Just try that and you’ll lose your good thing
Just try that and you’re gonna lose your good thing
Just try that and you’ll lose your good thing
Just try that and you’ll lose your good thing
Just try that and you’re gonna lose your good thing

Sweet Virginia

Sweet Virginia
Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Keith Richards
First recording/First release by: The Rolling Stones - 1971/1972
Covered by multiple other artists

Wadin' through the waste stormy winter
And there's not a friend to help you through
Tryin' to stop the waves behind your eyeballs
Drop your reds, drop your greens and blues

Thank you for your wine, California
Thank you for your sweet and bitter fruits
Yes I got the desert in my toenail
And I hid the speed inside my shoe

But come on, come on down Sweet Virginia
Come on, honey child, I beg you
Come on, come on down, you got it in ya
Got to scrape the shit right off you shoes

I want you to come on, come on down Sweet Virginia
I want you come on, honey child, I beg you
I want you come on, honey child you got it in you
Got to scrape that shit right off you shoes

But come on, come on down Sweet Virginia
Come on, come on down, I beg of you
Come on, come on down, you got it in you
Got to scrape that shit right off you shoes

You'll Know

You'll Know
Composer(s): Adamson; McHugh
Performer(s): Jane Russell

You’ll know, when it happens, you’ll know
You need no one to tell you
When it happens, you’ll know
And though you’ve been fooled in the past
When you meet with your real love
You’ll surrender at last

Those dreams you planned
All at once will come true
He’ll take your hand
And there’s nothing that you can do

You can go where he wants you to go
You need no one to tell you
When it happens, you’ll know

Our anger's on the boil
Wait and see before we're done
The IJN will sink your guns
You'll get sank, Mr. Yank!
You don't know our Yamamoto
When he fights for his rights
You'll get hammered in the toto
You're a greedy, ugly bignose, running on an empty tank
You'll get sank, you'll get sank, Mr. Yank!

You'll get sank, Mr. Yank!
Asia for the Asiatics
You'll get sank, Mr. Yank!
Down with bignose Yank fanatics
Wait and see before we're done
The IJN will sink your guns
You'll get sank, Mr. Yank!
You don't know our raging eagles
You'll get sank, Mr. Yank!
When we pounce upon your beagles
You'll get hammered in the toto
By Sakai and Hashimoto
You're a greedy, ugly bignose, running on an empty tank
You'll get sank, you'll get sank, Mr. Yank!

Sweet Transvestite

Sweet Transvestite
Composer(s): Richard O'Brien
First release by: Christopher Malcolm & Tim Curry - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists

Dr. Frank-N-Furter:
How do you do
I see you've met my faithful handyman
He's just a little brought down because
When you knocked
He thought you were the candyman
Don't get strung out by the way I look
Don't judge a book by its cover
I'm not much of a man by the light of day
But by night I'm one hell of a lover
I'm just a sweet transvestite
From Transexual, Transylvania

Let me show you around, maybe play you a sound
You look like you're both pretty groovy
Or if you want something visual
That's not too abysmal
We could take in an old Steeve Reeves movie

Brad:
I'm glad we caught you at home
Could we use your phone?
We're both in a bit of a hurry

Janet:
Right!

Brad:
We'll just say where we are
Then go back to the car
We don't want to be any worry

Dr. Frank-N-Furter:
Well you got caught with a flat
Well how 'bout that
Well babies don't you panic
By the light of the night
It'll all seem alright
I'll get you a Satanic mechanic
I'm just a sweet transvestite
From Transexual, Transylvania
Why don't you stay for the night

Riff Raff:
Night!

Dr. Frank-N-Furter:
Or maybe a bite

Columbia:
Bite!

Dr. Frank-N-Furter:
I could show you my favorite obsession
I've been making a man
With blonde hair and a tan
And he's good for relieving my tension
I'm just a sweet transvestite
From Transexual, Transylvania
Hit it! Hit it!
I'm just a sweet transvestite (Sweet Transvestite)
From Transexual (Transylvania)

So come up to the lab
And see what's on the slab
I see you shiver with anticipation
But maybe the rain
Isn't really to blame
So I'll remove the cause
But not the symptom

I have never done before!)

You'll be mine
At the star and so

Sweet Thing

Sweet Thing
Composer(s): Van Morrison
First release by: Van Morrison - 1968

And I will stroll the merry way
And jump the hedges first
And I will drink the clear
Clean water for to quench my thirst
And I shall watch the ferry-boats
And they'll get high
On a bluer ocean
Against tomorrow's sky
And I will never grow so old again
And I will walk and talk
In gardens all wet with rain

Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
My, my, my, my, my sweet thing
And I shall drive my chariot
Down your streets and cry
'Hey, it's me, I'm dynamite
And I don't know why'
And you shall take me strongly
In your arms again
And I will not remember
That I even felt the pain.
We shall walk and talk
In gardens all misty and wet with rain
And I will never, never, never
Grow so old again.

Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
My, my, my, my, my sweet thing
And I will raise my hand up
Into the night time sky
And count the stars
That's shining in your eye
Just to dig it all an' not to wonder
That's just fine
And I'll be satisfied
Not to read in between the lines
And I will walk and talk
In gardens all wet with rain
And I will never, ever, ever, ever
Grow so old again.
Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
Sugar-baby with your champagne eyes
And your saint-like smile....

Come stop your crying it will be alright
Just take my hand, hold it tight
I will protect you from all around you
I will be here, don't you cry
For one so small you seem so strong
My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm
This bond between us, can't be broken
I will be here, don't you cry

Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes you'll be in my heart
From this day on, now and forever more

You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart always..

Why can't they understand the way we feel?
They just don't trust, what they can't explain
I know we're different but, deep inside us
We're not that different at all

Don't listen to them, what do they know?
We need each other to have to hold
They'll see in time...i know...
When destiny calls you, you must be strong (you gotta be strong)
I might not be with you, but you got to hold on
They'll see in time..I know...
We'll show them together cuz

You'll be in my heart (You'll be here in my heart)
no matter what they say (I'll be with you)
You'll be here in my heart (I'll be there) always..
always...I'll be with you
I'll be there for you always, always and always
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
I'll be there always....

Sweet Thang

Sweet Thang
Composer(s): Nat Stuckey
First release by: Nat Stuckey - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists

I slipped out of the house about sundown while mama was a washin' her hair
And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come lookin' for me
When she finds that I'm not there
And if she catches her sweet thang runnin' around
I know there'll be the devil to pay
She'll come blowin' like a cyclone right through that door
And I can hear exactly what she'll say
Well has anybody here see sweet thang I got a notion he'll be headed this a way
Cause when my sweet thang is out tomocattin' around
He finds a sandbox like this to play
I wanna tell all you barroom roses if my sweet thang does have a bite
You'd better take my advice and if you'll blink more than twice
You'd better have somethin' in your eyes

I gave my baby all my money on payday except a little she don't know that I got
Cause there's a cute little waitress at the corner cafe
And she seems to like me quite a lot
While we were sittin' in the back booth a havin' a talk
She believed in every word that I said
When the door blew open Loretta walked in yellin' loud enough to wake the dead
Well has anybody here see sweet thang...
You'd better take my advice...

You'll Always Find Me In The Kitchen At Parties

You'll Always Find Me In The Kitchen At Parties
Composer(s): Jona Lewie; K. Trussell
Performer(s): Jona Lewie

I'm no good at chatting up and I always get rebuffed
Enough to drive a man to drink I don't do no washing up
I always reached the stuff piled up
a-piled up in the sink

But you will always find him in the kitchen at parties

Me and my girlfriend we argued and she ran away from home
She must have found somebody new and now I'm all alone

Living in my own. What am I supposed to do?

That's why always find him in kitchen at parties
you will always find him in the kitchen at parties
You will always find him in the kitchen at parties

Then I met this debutante I said I like new wave rock
She was into french cuisine but I ain't no cordon bleu
This was at some do in palmers green
I had no luck with her

You will still find him in kitchen at parties
You will still find him in kitchen at parties

At last I met a pretty girl she laughed and talked with me
We both walked out of the kitchen and dnaced in a new way

And now I've done my time in the kitchen at parties
I've done my time in the kitchen at parties

He's done his time in the kitchen at parties
He's done his time in the kitchen at parties
