Where Will The Words Come From?
Where Will The Words Come From?
Composer(s): Sonny Curtis; Glen D. Hardin
Performer(s): Gary Lewis and The Playboys;
Rosanne Cash
Where will the words come from
When I tell you I don't love you anymore?
When I command my lips to say
"It's over now, please go away"
Will the words be there
Or will they fail me like they've always done before?
Where will the words come from
When I tell you I don't want you, I don't love you anymore
What happened to the love we had when it went away?
Did it change itself into a cloud & become a rainy day?
Where will the words come from
When I tell you I don't want you, I don't love you anymore
Where will the words come from
When I tell you I don't love you anymore?
When I search inside my soul
For words to tell of love grown cold
Will the words be there
Or will they fail me like they've always done before?
Where will the words come from
When I tell you I don't want you, I don't love you anymore

Alice's Restaurant
Alice's Restaurant
Composer(s): Arlo Guthrie
Performer(s): Arlo Guthrie; Enoch Light; The New Christy Minstrels
This song is called Alice's Restaurant, and it's about Alice, and the restaurant
but Alice's Restaurant is not the name of the restaurant, that's just the name of the song
and that's why I called the song Alice's Restaurant
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
Now it all started two Thanksgivings ago, was on - two years ago on Thanksgiving
when my friend and I went up to visit Alice at the restaurant
but Alice doesn't live in the restaurant, she lives in the church nearby the restaurant
in the bell-tower, with her husband Ray and Fasha the dog
And livin' in the bell tower like that, they got a lot of room downstairs where the pews used to be in
Havin' all that room, seein' as how they took out all the pews
they decided that they didn't have to take out their garbage for a long time
We got up there, we found all the garbage in there
and we decided it'd be a friendly gesture for us to take the garbage down to the city dump
So we took the half a ton of garbage, put it in the back of a red VW microbus
took shovels and rakes and implements of destruction and headed on toward the city dump
Well we got there and there was a big sign and a chain across across the dump saying, "Closed on Thanksgiving"
And we had never heard of a dump closed on Thanksgiving before
and with tears in our eyes we drove off into the sunset looking for another place to put the garbage
We didn't find one
Until we came to a side road, and off the side of the side road there was another fifteen foot cliff
and at the bottom of the cliff there was another pile of garbage
And we decided that one big pile is better than two little piles
and rather than bring that one up we decided to throw our's down
That's what we did, and drove back to the church, had a thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat
went to sleep and didn't get up until the next morning, when we got a phone call from officer Obie
He said, "Kid, we found your name on an envelope at the bottom of a half a ton of garbage
and just wanted to know if you had any information about it"
And I said, "Yes, sir, Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie, I put that envelope under that garbage"
After speaking to Obie for about fourty-five minutes on the telephone
we finally arrived at the truth of the matter and said that we had to go down and pick up the garbage
and also had to go down and speak to him at the police officer's station
So we got in the red VW microbus with the shovels and rakes and implements of destruction
and headed on toward the police officer's station
Now friends, there was only one or two things that Obie coulda done at the police station
and the first was he could have given us a medal for being so brave and honest on the telephone
which wasn't very likely, and we didn't expect it
and the other thing was he could have bawled us out and told us never to be see driving garbage around the vicinity again
which is what we expected, but when we got to the police officer's station
there was a third possibility that we hadn't even counted upon, and we was both immediately arrested
Handcuffed
And I said "Obie, I don't think I can pick up the garbage with these handcuffs on"
He said, "Shut up, kid
Get in the back of the patrol car"
And that's what we did, sat in the back of the patrol car and drove to the quote Scene of the Crime unquote
I want tell you about the town of Stockbridge, Massachusets, where this happened here
they got three stop signs, two police officers, and one police car
but when we got to the Scene of the Crime there was five police officers and three police cars
being the biggest crime of the last fifty years, and everybody wanted to get in the newspaper story about it
And they was using up all kinds of cop equipment that they had hanging around the police officer's station
They was taking plaster tire tracks, foot prints, dog smelling prints
and they took twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles and arrows
and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us
Took pictures of the approach, the getaway, the northwest corner the southwest corner
and that's not to mention the aerial photography
After the ordeal, we went back to the jail
Obie said he was going to put us in the cell
Said, "Kid, I'm going to put you in the cell, I want your wallet and your belt"
And I said, "Obie, I can understand you wanting my wallet so I don't have any money to spend in the cell
but what do you want my belt for?"
And he said, "Kid, we don't want any hangings"
I said, "Obie, did you think I was going to hang myself for littering?"
Obie said he was making sure, and friends Obie was, 'cause he took out the toilet seat
so I couldn't hit myself over the head and drown, and he took out the toilet paper so I couldn't bend the bars roll out the
roll the toilet paper out the window, slide down the roll and have an escape
Obie was making sure, and it was about four or five hours later that Alice (remember Alice? It's a song about Alice)
Alice came by and with a few nasty words to Obie on the side, bailed us out of jail, and we went back to the church
had a another thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat, and didn't get up until the next morning
when we all had to go to court
We walked in, sat down, Obie came in with the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures
with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one, sat down
Man came in said, "All rise"
We all stood up, and Obie stood up with the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures
and the judge walked in sat down with a seeing eye dog, and he sat down, we sat down
Obie looked at the seeing eye dog, and then at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures
with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one, and looked at the seeing eye dog
And then at twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows
and a paragraph on the back of each one and began to cry
'cause Obie came to the realization that it was a typical case of American blind justice
and there wasn't nothing he could do about it
and the judge wasn't going to look at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with the circles and arrows
and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us
And we was fined $50 and had to pick up the garbage in the snow, but that's not what I came to tell you about
Came to talk about the draft
They got a building down New York City, it's called Whitehall Street, where you walk in
you get injected, inspected, detected, infected, neglected and selected
I went down to get my physical examination one day, and I walked in, I sat down
got good and drunk the night before, so I looked and felt my best when I went in that morning
`Cause I wanted to look like the all-American kid from New York City, man I wanted
I wanted to feel like the all-, I wanted to be the all American kid from New York
and I walked in, sat down, I was hung down, brung down, hung up, and all kinds o' mean nasty ugly things
And I waked in and sat down and they gave me a piece of paper, said, "Kid, see the phsychiatrist, room 604"
And I went up there, I said, "Shrink, I want to kill
I mean, I wanna, I wanna kill
Kill
I wanna, I wanna see
I wanna see blood and gore and guts and veins in my teeth
Eat dead burnt bodies
I mean kill, Kill, Kill, Kill"
And I started jumping up and down yelling, "Kill, Kill"
and he started jumping up and down with me and we was both jumping up and down yelling, "Kill, Kill"
And the sergeant came over, pinned a medal on me, sent me down the hall, said, "You're our boy"
Didn't feel too good about it
Proceeded on down the hall gettin more injections, inspections, detections, neglections
and all kinds of stuff that they was doin' to me at the thing there
and I was there for two hours, three hours, four hours, I was there for a long time
going through all kinds of mean nasty ugly things and I was just having a tough time there
and they was inspecting, injecting every single part of me, and they was leaving no part untouched
Proceeded through, and when I finally came to the see the last man, I walked in
walked in sat down after a whole big thing there, and I walked up and said, "What do you want?"
He said, "Kid, we only got one question
Have you ever been arrested?"
And I proceeded to tell him the story of the Alice's Restaurant Massacre
with full orchestration and five part harmony and stuff like that and all the phenome...
and he stopped me right there and said, "Kid, did you ever go to court?"
And I proceeded to tell him the story of the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures
with the circles and arrows and the paragraph on the back of each one, and he stopped me right there and said
"Kid, I want you to go and sit down on that bench that says Group W .... Now kid!!"
And I, I walked over to the, to the bench there, and there is
Group W's where they put you if you may not be moral enough to join the army after committing your special crime
and there was all kinds of mean nasty ugly looking people on the bench there
Mother rapers
Father stabbers
Father rapers!
Father rapers sitting right there on the bench next to me!
And they was mean and nasty and ugly and horrible crime-type guys sitting on the bench next to me
And the meanest, ugliest, nastiest one, the meanest father raper of them all, was coming over to me
and he was mean 'n' ugly 'n' nasty 'n' horrible and all kind of things and he sat down next to me and said, "Kid, whad'ya get?"
I said, "I didn't get nothing, I had to pay $50 and pick up the garbage"
He said, "What were you arrested for, kid?"
And I said, "Littering"
And they all moved away from me on the bench there, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things
till I said, "And creating a nuisance"
And they all came back, shook my hand, and we had a great time on the bench
talking about crime, mother stabbing, father raping, all kinds of groovy things that we was talking about on the bench
And everything was fine, we was smoking cigarettes and all kinds of things, until the Sergeant came over
had some paper in his hand, held it up and said
"Kids, this-piece-of-paper's-got-47-words-37-sentences-58-words-we-wanna-know-details-of-the-crime-time-of-the-crime-and-
any-other-kind-of-thing-you-gotta-say-pertaining-to-and-about-the-crime-I-want-to-know-arresting-officer's-name-and-any-
other-kind-of-thing-you-gotta-say", and talked for forty-five minutes and nobody understood a word that he said
but we had fun filling out the forms and playing with the pencils on the bench there
and I filled out the massacre with the four part harmony, and wrote it down there, just like it was
and everything was fine and I put down the pencil, and I turned over the piece of paper, and there, there on the other side
in the middle of the other side, away from everything else on the other side
in parentheses, capital letters, quotated, read the following words
("Kid, Have You Rehabilitated Yourself?")
I went over to the sergeant, said, "Sergeant, you got a lot a damn gall to ask me if I've rehabilitated myself
I mean, I mean, I mean that just, I'm sittin' here on the bench, I mean I'm sittin here on the Group W bench
'cause you want to know if I'm moral enough join the army, burn women, kids, houses and villages after bein' a litterbug"
He looked at me and said, "Kid, we don't like your kind, and we're gonna send you fingerprints off to Washington"
And friends, somewhere in Washington enshrined in some little folder, is a study in black and white of my fingerprints
And the only reason I'm singing you this song now is 'cause you may know somebody in a similar situation
or you may be in a similar situation, and if your in a situation like that there's only one thing you can do
and that's walk into the shrink wherever you are, just walk in say "Shrink, You can get anything you want, at Alice's restaurant"
And walk out
You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and they won't take him
And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them
And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singing a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out
They may think it's an organization
And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said fifty people a day walking in
singing a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out
And friends they may thinks it's a movement
And that's what it is , the Alice's Restaurant Anti-Massacre Movement
and all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it come's around on the guitar
With feeling
So we'll wait for it to come around on the guitar, here and sing it when it does
Here it comes
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
That was horrible
If you want to end war and stuff you got to sing loud
I've been singing this song now for twenty five minutes
I could sing it for another twenty five minutes
I'm not proud... or tired
So we'll wait till it comes around again, and this time with four part harmony and feeling
We're just waitin' for it to come around is what we're doing
All right now
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Excepting Alice
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Da da da da da da da dum
At Alice's Restaurant

Where Will The Dimple Be?
Where Will The Dimple Be?
Composer(s): Bob Merrill; Al Hoffman
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney; Alma Cogan
Chorus:
On the baby's knuckle, on the baby's knee
Where will the baby's dimple be?
Baby's cheek or baby's chin
Seems to me it'll be a sin
If it's always covered by the safety-pin
Where will the dimple be?
Every night we stay at home, my love and me alone
Making wishes over dishes in the sink
Will our bundle full of joy be a darling girl or boy?
Will the booties be a baby blue or pink?
Chorus
Now I wake up every night with such an appetite
Eat a chocolate pie, topped off with sauerkraut
Then I put some records on, munch on crackers until dawn
And just sit around all night and try to guess
Chorus
While I play the clinging vine, I watch that love of mine
Build him cradles while I'm pecking at his cheek
Not just one, but two or three, twins run in my family
And my cousin Jane had triplets just last week
Chorus x2

Performer(s): The Grass Roots;
and various other artists
Don't bother crying
Don't bother calling
It's all over now
There's no use in stalling
The love I once felt
I don't feel anymore for you
This time I'll even open the door for you
You walked out when I was down
Well now I'm well off
And look, look whose comin' round
Where were you when I needed you
Where were you when I wanted you
Where were you when I need you
Where
You're looking good, it's hard to fight it
But no use explain'
I've already decided
That goin' with you
Is worse than without you
I won't spend a lifetime worryin' about you
When things got bad
You disappeared
But I'm back on my feet
And look, look whose standin' there
Where were you when I neeed you
Where were you when I wanted you
Where were you when I needed you
Where
You were so young
And you were so wild
I knew you were nobody's innocent child
That first day I saw you
You really got to me
I thought I could change you
What good did it do me
When times got rought
Ah, you would't wait
Well now you're trippin' back
And babe, babe it's too late
Where were you when I needed you
Where were you when I wanted you
Where were you when I needed you
Where (etc.)

Alice Is At It Again
Alice Is At It Again
Composer(s): Noël Coward
Performer(s): Noël Coward
and multiple other artists
In a dear little village
Remote and obscure
A beautiful maiden resided
As to whether or not
Her intentions were pure
Opinions were sharply divided
She loved to lie
Out 'neath the darkening sky
And allow the night breeze
To entrance her
She whispered her dreams
To the birds flying by
But seldom received any answer
Over the field and along the lane
Gentle Alice would love to stray
When it came to the end of the day
She would wander away
Unheeding
Dreaming her innocent dreams she strode
Quite unaffected by heat or cold
Frequently freckled or soaked with rain
Alice was out in the lane
Who she met there
Every day
Was a question
Answered by none
But she'd get there
And she'd stay there
'Til whatever she did
Was undoubtedly done
Over the field and along the lane
Both her parents would call in vain
Sadly, sorrowfully, they'd complain
'Alice is at it again'
Although that dear little village
Surrounded by trees
Had neither a school, nor a college
Gentle Alice acquired
From the birds and the bees
Some exceedingly practical knowledge
The curious secrets that nature revealed
She refused to allow to upset her
But she thought
When observing the beasts of the field
That things might have been organised better
Over the field and along the lane
Gentle Alice would make up
And take up
Her stand
The road was not exactly arterial
But it led to a town nearby
Where quite a lot of masculine material
Caught her rolling eye
She was ready to hitchhike
Cadillac or motorbike
She wasn't proud or choosy
All she
Was aiming to be
Was a pinked-up
Minked-up
Fly-by-night floozy
When old Rogers
Gave her pearls as large as
Nuts on a chestnut tree
All she'd say was
'Fiddle-di-dee!
The wages of sin will be the death of me!'
Over the field and along the lane
Gentle Alice's parents
Would wait
Hand in hand
Her dear old white-headed mother
Wistfully sipping champagne
Said 'We've spoiled our child
Spared the rod
Open up the caviar and say "Thank God!"
We've got no cause to complain!
Alice is at it again!'

Oh where was I the night
that you surrendered to a sigh
Where was I
The moon was high the night

that you would melt
in someon`s arms some night
And I was right
The moment came
but what a shame
that someone else came by
Where was I

Alice in Wonderland
How do you get to Wonderland?
Over the hill or underland?
Or just behind a tree?
When clouds go rolling by
They roll away and leave the sky
Where is the land beyond the eye?
The people cannot see
Where can it be?
Where do the stars go?
Where is the crescent moon?
They must be somewhere in the sunny afternoon
Alice in Wonderland
Where is the path to Wonderland?
Over the hill or here or there?
I wonder where?

Composer(s): Bernie Taupin; Elton John
Performer(s): Elton John;
and various other artists
I took myself a blue canoe
And I floated like a leaf
Dazzling, dancing
Half enchanted
In my Merlin sleep
Crazy was the feeling
Restless were my eyes
Insane they took the paddles
My arms they paralyzed
So where to now St. Peter
If it's true I'm in your hands
I may not be a Christian
But I've done all one man can
I understand I'm on the road
Where all that was is gone
So where to now St. Peter
Show me which road I'm on
Which road I'm on
It took a sweet young foreign gun
This lazy life is short
Something for nothing always ending
With a bad report
Dirty was the daybreak
Sudden was the change
In such a silent place as this

Alice In Wonderland
Composer(s): Spike Milligan - Alan Clare
Performer(s): King's Singers
Alice in Wonderland would understand
A little Queen of Hearts like you
But in my book it said: Off with his head!
And that's exactly what you'd do
Indeed, I lost my head completely when
On the river one summer's day
All in the golden afternoon
We glided far away
Oh, Alice, how I loved you
The fairy cakes you made, the lemonade
The funny stories that I told
How Tweedle-Dum and Dee could not agree
And Father William who was very old
Mad Hatter on a spree, Doormouse dunked in the tea
All of that day to me was gold
We let the silent sand run though our hands
The setting sun became a glow
I recall, down the long years between
Where did my Queen of Hearts go?
Alice in Wonderland
Where are you now, my love?

Where There Was Darkness
Where There Was Darkness
Composer(s): Nickolas Ashford; Valerie Simpson
Performer(s): Diana Ross
Where there was darkness
You came and now there's
An abundance of light
Nothing but sinkin' sand
Suddenly I reach out
There's your hand
What a feeling it is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
And now I know that
I won't be alone no more
I'll give you all I have
And if you teach me
I will learn to give you more
You are my anchor now
And like a ship at sea
Ooh, your love will steady me
What a feeling this is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
And now I know that
I won't be alone no more
I'm so glad
Just wanna thank you baby
What a feeling this is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
What a feeling this is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
What a feeling this is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
Thank you baby
What a feeling this is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go

Alice In The Looking Glass
Alice In The Looking Glass
Composer(s): Matraca Berg - Gary Harrison
Performer(s): Matraca Berg
At nine o'clock each morning down on Charlotte Avenue
The bus driver stops and lets her off
Before the first shampoo
Alice started working there when she was just a girl
And now she mans the second chair
At Thelma's Cut and Curl
A trim is just ten dollars and the conversation's free
She recreates the latest styles of 1963
With a lipstick-circled cigarette constantly aflame
She greets all her clientele
By first and middle names
And even though that mirror paints a picture much too clear
She'll mix you up some magic and she'll dye away the years
And, oh, they come and go so fast
Don't they, Alice -- Alice in the looking glass
One time she was married, but now she lives alone
But there's a little ancient poodle
Waiting there for her at home
And she'll tell you all about him like he was her only child
And rubs her swollen ankles
While she waits for you to dry
There's a picture on the mirror there of her at seventeen
The day that Thelma did her hair when she was football queen
And, oh, they come and go so fast
Don't they, Alice -- Alice in the looking glass
Even though that mirror paints a picture much too clear
She'll mix you up some magic and she'll dye away the years
And, oh, they keep coming back
Don't they, Alice -- Alice in the looking glass

Where The Wind Blows
Where The Wind Blows
Composer(s): Terry Gilkyson
Performer(s): Frankie Laine
Gotta travel through rain and snow
And follow the trail where the mountains grow
Where the winds blow, where the winds blow
Maybe I'll ride over yonder
Maybe I'll hide, maybe I'll wander
Gotta have time just to ponder my soul
Maybe I'll go where the winds blow
(Where the winds blow)
Sheriff is ridin' behind me
Thinkin' that he is going to find me
To the live oak he will bind me, I know
Danglin' low, where the winds blow
Keep a-movin' on ya darned old Charlie horse
Take me to the hills
You gotta be right in a two gun fight
Or push up the daffodils
But if you beat him to the draw
You gotta get shot or break the law
Keep a-movin' on you darned old Charlie horse
Where the winds may blow
Maybe my gal knows my sorrow
Maybe I'll see her tomorrow
Gotta have time I can borrow
But no, can't let her go where the winds blow
Wonder if she is thinkin' of me
Watchin' the same stars above me
How can I ask her to love me and go
Where the winds blow, where the winds blow
Gotta travel through rain and snow
And follow the trail where the mountains grow
Where the winds blow, where the winds blow
Where the winds blow

Alice Blue Gown
Alice Blue Gown
Composer(s): Harry Tierney - Joseph McCarthy
First performance/First recording by: Edith Day - 1919/Columbia Light Opera Company - 1920
Covered by multiple other artists
I once had a gown, it was almost new
Oh, the daintiest thing, it was sweet Alice blue
With little forget-me-nots placed here and there
When I had it on, I walked on the air
And it wore, and it wore, and it wore
'Til it went, and it wasn't no more
In my sweet little Alice blue gown
When I first wandered down into town
I was both proud and shy, as I felt every eye
And in every shop window I primped passing by
Then in manner of fashion, I'd frown
And the world seemed to smile all around
'Til it wilted, I wore it, I'll always adore it
My sweet little Alice blue gown
The little silk worms that made silk for that gown
Just made that much silk and then crawled in the ground
For there never was anything like it before
And I don't dare to hope there will be any more
But it's gone, 'cause it just had to be
Still it wears in my memory
In my sweet little Alice blue gown
When I first wandered down into town
I was both proud and so shy, as I felt every eye
And in every shop window I primped passing by
Then in manner of fashion, I'd frown
And the world seemed to smile all around
So it wouldn't be proper if made of silk were another
My sweet little Alice blue gown
