The Patty Duke Show Theme
The Patty Duke Show Theme
Composer(s): Sid Ramin - Bob Wells
Meet Cathy, who's lived most everywhere
From Zanzibar to Barclay Square
But Patty's only seen the sights
A girl can see from Brooklyn Heights — What a crazy pair!
But they're cousins
Identical cousins all the way
One pair of matching bookends
Different as night and day
Where Cathy adores a minuet
The Ballet Russes, and crepe suzette
Our Patty loves to rock and roll
A hot dog makes her lose control — What a wild duet!
Still, they're cousins
Identical cousins and you'll find
They laugh alike, they walk alike
At times they even talk alike
You can lose your mind
When cousins are two of a kind

Well come on
follow down the Path of Love
Come on little children

To lead the life you should

Believe there is someone who loves you
no matter what
You can count your blessings
and be happy with whatever you've got
Won't you brighten the dark
with a light in your heart
you better shine like the sun above
So come on
follow down the Path of Love
Come on, ev'rybody together
Come on, let me show you the way
Come on, we can do much better
follow down the Path of Love
Come on, ev'rybody together
Come on, let me show you the way
Come on, we can do much better
follow down the Path of Love

The Past Sure Is Tense
The Past Sure Is Tense
Composer(s): Don Van Vliet
First release by: Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band - 1982
The past sure is tense
they're heading up for the main event
all those people seem to be hell-bent
see those people up on top of the fence
and the man down there
selling knotholes through the fence
the little shoe generation man
I found your print on a dollar bill
I found your print on an Indian mound
I found your print on the statue at the sound
I found your print on the elephant ground
I found your print in the beautiful mountains
the grass no longer grew around
I found your print in my mind
the past sure is tense
the past sure is tense
no you got the wrong idea
no you got the wrong intent
the carpenter carpenterized my vent
the only peephole
where is my dent
the past sure is tense
the past sure is tense
the past sure is now
I don't see how
see those people that used to
throw those tents
you can't see them now
they're in past tense
the past sure is tense

Over the city's red back side
And everything looks good tonight

How how he rides
Oh the passenger
He rides and he rides
Looks through his window

Sees the bright and hollow sky
Sees the stars come out tonight
Sees the city's red back side
Sees the winding ocean drive
And everything was made for you and me
All of it was made for you and me
It just belongs to you and me

Performer(s): Capital Inicial - 1992
Eu sou o passageiro
Eu rodo sem parar
Eu rodo pelos subrbios escuros
Eu vejo estrelas saindo no cu
o claro e o vazio do cu
Mas essa noite tudo soa to bem
Entre no meu carro
Ns vamos rodar
Seremos passageiros da noite
E veremos a cidade em trapos
E veremos o vazio do cu
Sob os cascos dos subrbios daqui
Mas essa noite tudo soa to bem
Cantando l-l, l-l (l-l-l-l)
Cantando l-l, l-l (l-l-l-l)
Cantando l-l, l-l (l-l-l-l) l-l-l
Olha o passageiro
Como, como ele roda
Olha o passageiro
Roda sem parar
Ele olha pela janela
E o que ele v
Ele v sinais no cu
E ele v as estrelas que saem
E ele v a cidade em trapos
E ele v o caminho do mar
E tudo isso foi feito pra mim e voc
Tudo isso foi feito pra mim e voc
Simplesmente pretence a mim e voc
Ento vamos rodar e ver o que meu
Cantando l-l, l-l (l-l-l-l)
Cantando l-l, l-l (l-l-l-l)
Cantando l-l, l-l (l-l-l-l) l-l-l

The Party's Over (Willie Nelson)
The Party's Over
Composer(s): Willie Nelson
Performer(s): Willie Nelson
Turn out the lights
The party's over
They say that
All good things must end
Call it tonight
The party's over
And tomorrow starts
The same old thing again
But the crazy crazy party
Never seen so many people
Laughing dancing
Look at you you're having fun
But look at me
I'm almost cryin'
That don't keep her love from dyin'
Misery cause for me the party's over
Turn out the lights...
Once I had a love undyin'
I didn't keep it but I tried
Life for me was just one party
And then another
I broke her heart so many times
I had to have my parting wife
I had to have my party
Why broke her heart so many times
But one day she said
Sweetheart the party's over
Turn out the lights...

The Party's Over (Hopelessly In Love)
Composer(s): Steve Perry
Performer(s): Journey
You never call me up
when I'm alone at night
What can this poor boy do
when he's hopelessly in love with you
So I will tell you now
This love is falling down
Just what more can I do
When I'm hopelessly in love with you
Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love with you
So I will tell you this
Our love is in abyss
Just what more can I do
When I'm hopelessly in love with you
You never call me up
When I'm alone at night
What can a poor boy do
When he's hopelessly in love with you
Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love with you
Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love
I'm hopelessly in love with you
Ooh bye bye baby
The party's over
I have gone away
The party's over
I have gone away
The party's over
Over

I have gone away

The Party's Over
Composer(s): Betty Comden - Adolph Green - Jule Styne
First performance/First release by: Judy Holliday - 1956
Covered by multiple other artists
The party's over, it's time to call it a day
They've burst your pretty balloon
And taken the moon away
It's time to wind up the masquerade
Just make your mind up
The piper must be paid
The party's over, the candles flicker and dim
You danced and dreamed through the night
It seemed to be right just being with him
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party's over
It's all over, my friend
The party's over, it's time to call it a day
They've burst your pretty balloon
And taken the moon away
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party's over
It's all over, my friend
It's all over, my friend

Performer(s): Leonard Cohen - 1969
and multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages:
1974 - Il Partigiano (Daiano)

When they poured across the border
I was cautioned to surrender
this I could not do
I took my gun and vanished
I have changed my name so often
I've lost my wife and children
but I have many friends
and some of them are with me
An old woman gave us shelter
kept us hidden in the garret
then the soldiers came
she died without a whisper
There were three of us this morning
I'm the only one this evening
but I must go on
the frontiers are my prison
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing
through the graves the wind is blowing
freedom soon will come
then we'll come from the shadows
Les Allemands étaient chez moi
ils me dirent, "Signe toi"
mais je n'ai pas peur
j'ai repris mon arme
J'ai changé cent fois de nom
j'ai perdu femme et enfants
mais j'ai tant d'amis
j'ai la France entière
Un vieil homme dans un grenier
pour la nuit nous a caché
les Allemands l'ont pris
il est mort sans surprise
(The Germans were at my home
They said, "Sign yourself"
But I am not afraid
I have retaken my weapon
I have changed names a hundred times
I have lost wife and children
But I have so many friends
I have all of France
An old man, in an attic
Hid us for the night
The Germans captured him
He died without surprise)
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing
through the graves the wind is blowing
freedom soon will come
then we'll come from the shadows

Mais je n'ai pas pu
Et j'ai repris mon arme
Personne ne m'a demandé
D'où je viens et où je vais
Vous qui le savez
Effacez mon passage
J'ai changé cent fois de nom
J'ai perdu femme et enfants
Mais j'ai tant d'amis
Et j'ai la France entière
Un vieil homme dans un grenier
Pour la nuit nous a cachés
Les Allemands l'ont pris
Il est mort sans surprise

Il ne reste plus que moi
Et je tourne en rond
Dans la prison des frontières
Le vent souffle sur les tombes
La liberté reviendra
On nous oubliera
Nous rentrerons dans l'ombre

En ze kwamen hier in zwermen
Ik, gemaand tot overgave, ik gaf mezelf niet aan
Ik greep mijn wapen en verdween
Vaak ben ik van naam veranderd
Vrouw en kind heb ik verloren
Vrienden heb ik veel, en sommige zijn bij me
Een oude vrouw bood ons bescherming
Ze verborg ons op haar zolder
Toen kwamen zij eraan
Zonder een woord is ze gestorven
Nog drie van ons vanmorgen
Nu, vanavond, ik alleen, en ik moet door
Gevangen tussen grenzen
De wind huilt kil over de velden
Graven huiveren in stormen, maar de vrijheid komt
En dan komen wij tevoorschijn
Les allemands étaient chez moi
Ils me dirent résigne-toi
Mais, je n’ai pas peur
J’ai perdu femme et enfants
Mais j’ai tant d’amis
J’ai la France entière
Un vieil homme dans un grenier
Pour la nuit a caché
Les Allemands l’ont pris
Il est mort sans surprise
Oh, de wind huilt kil over de velden

The Parson Of Puddle
The Parson Of Puddle
Composer(s): Greatrex 'Rex' Newman
Performer(s): Stanley Holloway
In the sweet little, neat little
Only one street little
Parish of Puddle
O’er which I preside
There dwells a young lady
whose name is O’Grady
prefixed by the Christian names Caroline Sady
And rumour has stated
The facts circulated
That she is as thin as a lath
And I’m bound to admit
That she is every bit
For I saw her today in her bath...
chair and noticed the fact plain to see
O lack a day, O lack a day, O lack a day me
In the high little
Spry little, feel rather dry little
Parish of Puddle
O’er which I preside
We had a school outing
With races and shouting
For little girl guides and little boys scouting
And when all the teachers
Were cooling their features
With something that fizzed in a glass
One said “Don’t you think
You’d like something to drink”
I said “Yes, I should like a small Bass... -ket of strawberries
With cream and some tea
In the bright little
Tight little, stay out all night little
Parish of Puddle
O’er which I preside
It fell to my duty
To wed a stage beauty
To one of the Air Forces second leftooty
In every relation
Showed great jubilation
When just as a twelve month had run
One fine Wednesday night
With the greatest delight
She presented her spouse with a son...
Day school hymn book
That cost One and three
In the blank little, swank little, two pubs and bank little
Parish of Puddle
o'er which I preside
A spinster named Mary
Once opened a dairy
And as new laid eggs, seemed to be necessary
She purchased some hens
In most beautiful pens
But when egg collecting she went
She found with dismay
That those birds could not lay
For each of those fowls was a gentle...
and shy little rooster you see
O lack a day, O lack a day, O lack a day me

The Parade Of The Wooden Soldiers
The Parade Of The Wooden Soldiers
Composer(s): Leon Jessel - Ballard MacDonald
Performer(s): Shirley Temple
The toy shop door is locked up tight
And ev'rything is quiet for the night
When suddenly the clock strikes twelve
The fun's begun
The dolls are in their best array
There's going to be a wonderful parade
" Hark to the drum, oh, here they come"
Cries ev'ryone
Hear them all cheering
Now they are nearing
There's the captain stiff as starch
Bayonets flashing
Music is crashing
As the wooden soldiers march
Sabers a-clinking
Soldiers a-winking
At each pretty little maid
Here they come!
Here they come!
Here they come!
Here they come!
Wooden soldiers on parade

A new version of the bells
Yes, but not by Henry Irving
Now listen laddie, I have a story
Now we’ve been entreated to sing like the birds
That tweet in the valleys and dells
Ah! But let’s improve that, or in other words
Let’s all try and sing like the bells
Ding, dong, ding
Chime in the chorus and sing, sing, sing
Ding, dong, ding
Clear as a bell let it ring, ring, ring
Let all us musical people
Sing like the bells in the steeple
Ding, dong, ding
Simply chime in the chorus and sing, sing, sing
The bells
Yes, here comes the bride
Sweet thing
Yers! And here comes her mother
Dear old soul
Ooh! And here come the bridegroom
Poor blighter
Hey, Abe, do you think that’s our fire they go to?
Shut your face, you fool
Our fire ain’t till Tuesday
Hello, hello, darling wifey, I won’t be home till late this evening, spending an evening with a sick friend
Alright, dear, don’t keep her out too late
Let all us musical people
Sing like the bells in the steeple
Ding, dong, ding
Simply chime in the chorus and sing, sing, sing

The Parachute Jump
The Parachute Jump
Composer(s): Jerry Livingston - Mack David
Performer(s): Dean Martin
The parachute jump
The parachute jump
It's thrilling to do a dance that's new
The parachute jump
When the music begins to ride
Then you begin to glide
Bouncing from side to side
The parachute jump
You leap into space
Smile on your face
What'd you know, down there below
The world is in place
Hold it steady so you won't slip
Attaboy, let 'er rip
Then you begin to dip
The parachute jump
You dance and while you dance
Angels are singing songs from high in the blue
You dance, so high a dance
Suddenly Heaven's doors are open to you
You sway and as you sway
All of your dreams, it seems, are comin' true
You whirl into a spin, loving the spin you're in
When you do, do, do
The parachute jump
The parachute jump
You drop and you drop
And pop, you stop and land with a bump
If you really would like to fly
Feel like a bird on high
Take my advice and try
The parachute jump
The parachute jump
(The parachute jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump)
(Jump, Jump!)
Dean Marin & Chorus:
The parachute jump
The parachute jump
You wanta fly like a bird in the sky
Then you'd better try
The parachute jump

Composer(s): John D. Loudermilk
First release by: Marvin Rainwater - 1960
Covered by multiple other artists
They took away the whole Cherokee nation
And put us on this reservation
They took away our way of life
Our tomahawk and huntin' knife
And the old teepee we all loved so
They're using now just for a show
They put our papoose in a crib
and took the buck skin from our rib
And they took away our native tongue
and taught their English to our young
Hiya, hiya, ho! Hiya hi, hiya ho!
Hiya, hiya, Hiya ho!
Altho' they changed our ways of old
They'll never change our heart and soul
And tho' I wear a white man's tie
I'll be a red man till I die
All the beads we made by hand
are nowadays made in Japan

The Painless Dentist Song
The Painless Dentist Song
((Adapted from: The Continental (Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers))
Composer(s): Con Conrad - Herbert Magidson
Performer(s): Allan Sherman
Beautiful molars...
Lovely bicuspids...
I'm Dr. Prentice, the painless dentist
By that what's meant is
It really doesn't hurt
This is Miss Klinger; you've met her finger
So open wide, and Miss Klinger will squirt
Well, well, I say there
We've got decay there
Can't let it stay there and cause you all that pain
So please Miss Klinger, remove your finger
And won't you hand me down my Novocaine
It's far worse than I thought it was
My charge is gonna be large
Don't be unwilling
It's just a filling
I'm simply drilling to dig a little pit
Don't fight Miss Klinger, or bite her finger
And now while I change the drill you can spit
I hum while you're bleeding
It takes your mind off
The things I grind off
Your gums are receding
You'll have to come back
We'll build that gum back
And now if you will open wide
Miss Klinger's gonna put her whole darn fist inside
That's it... now it's over
They'll be a puffiness around your cheeks
You'll have to eat soft food for three more weeks
And if you'll kindly stop those ghastly shrieks
I'm through
Beautiful molars...
Lovely bicuspids...
By Dr. Prentice!
