Come Tomorrow (Barbra Streisand & Barry Gibb)
Come Tomorrow
Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Ashley Gibb; Stephen Gibb
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand & Barry Gibb
Are you ready for the day that we pray for?
Already holding what is real
You know the soul finds its own evolution
And this is the only love I feel
And I tell you...
I'm keeping up the strength
I gotta try
'Cause you ain't getting past
This heart of mine
I'm out here waiting for you
With all I've got to give
And I accept this life we live
I'll be your lover and I'll be your friend
I'm gonna follow you right to the end
I wasn't made to tell you lies
I only came to make you realize
I'll be your hero and I'll be your clown
You pick me up... you let me down
Don't make me stumble, don't make me wait
'Cause come tomorrow, will be too late
Come tomorrow (repeat)
I got to turn away my face
'Cause you blind me with your light
Can you catch up to me?
You know I love you in the black of night
This sacred ritual
This journey has begun
And we try...we try to carry on
And you innocents
You get to find the things in life
That get you through
(One more dance)
And deep inside the things you are
No one ever knew
(One last chance)
Let me make it happen
This world we have forseen
And I will tell you how I feel
Love will be better for wearing your ring
I'm gonna give you everything
I wasn't made to tell you lies
I only came to make you realize
I'll be your hero and I'll be your clown
You pick me up, you let me down
Don't make me stumble, don't make me wait
'Cause come tomorrow will be too late
Come tomorrow (repeat)

Rock And Roll Honeymoon
Composer(s): Goodison; Phil Wainman
Performer(s): Bay City Rollers
Baby I'm a knockin'
So you better get your rockin' boots on
You better ask your daddy for the caddy
And we'll motor on
Drive on baby to an all-night diner
Jive on baby we're in Carolina
Baby we're rollin' on
Wonderin' where we're gone
Reelin' and a rockin'
On a rock and roll honeymoon
Rock and roll honeymoon
Better get a preacher
And I'll meet you when the school bell ring
We ain't got the money for a twenty carat diamond ring
But what do you think about a midnight rider
Comin' on strong with an all night liner
Baby it's me and you
You know we can do it too
Reelin' and a rockin'
On a rock and roll honeymoon
Rock and roll honeymoon
Rock it out, rock it out
Rock it out, rock it out
Baby we're rollin on
Wonderin' where we've gone
Reelin' and a rockin'
On a rock and roll honeymoon
Rock and roll honeymoon
Baby it's me and you
You know we can do it too
Reelin' and a rockin'
On a rock and roll honeymoon
Rock and roll honeymoon

The Trail Of The Lonesome Pine
The Trail Of The Lonesome Pine
Composer(s): Harry Carroll - Ballard Macdonald
Performer(s): Albert Campbell & Henry Burr
and multiple other artists
On a mountain in Virginia
Stands a lonesome pine
Just below is the cabin home
Of a little girl of mine
Her name is June, and very, very soon
She'll belong to me
For I know she's waiting there for me
'Neath that lone pine tree
I can hear the tinkling waterfall
Far among the hills
Bluebirds sing each so merrily
To his mate in rapture trills
They seem to say "Your June is lonesome too"
Longing fills her eyes
She is waiting for you patiently
Where the pine tree sighs
In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia
On the trail of the lonesome pine
In the pale moon shine our hearts entwine
Where she carved her name and I carved mine
Oh, June, like the mountains I'm blue
Like the pine I am lonesome for you
In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia
On the trail of the lonesome pine

Rock & Roll Heaven
Composer(s): Alan O'Day; John Stevenson
Performer(s): The Righteous Brothers
Chorus:
If you believe in forever
Then life is just a one-night stand
If there's a rock and roll heaven
Well you know they've got a hell of a band, band, band
Jimi gave us rainbows
And Janis took a piece of our hearts
And Otis brought us all to the dock of a bay
Sing a song to light my fire
Remember Jim that way
They've all found another place, another place to play
Chorus
Remember bad bad Leroy Brown
Hey Jimmy touched us with that song
Time won't change a friend we came to know
And Bobby gave us Mack the Knife
Well look out, he's back in town
They'll all be there together
When they meet in one big show
Chorus
There's a spotlight waiting
No matter who you are
Cuz everybody's got a song to sing
Everyone's a star
(Everybody's got to be a star)

Tracks Of My Tears
Tracks Of My Tears
Composer(s): Smokey Robinson - Warren Moore - Marvin Tarplin
First release by: Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists
People say I'm the life of the party
'cause I tell a joke or two
Although I may be laughin' loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
So take a good look at my face
You see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you, need you
If you see me with another girl
Actin' like I'm havin' fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
Girl you're the permanent one
Ah, take a good look at my face
You see my smile looks out of place
Now look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Outside, I'm masquerading
Inside, my heart is fading
I'm just a clown
Since you put me down
My smile is my makeup
I wear since my breakup with you
Baby, baby, take a good look at my face
You see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Baby, baby, baby, take a good look at my face
You see my smile looks out of place
Just look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Baby, baby, baby, take a good look at this face
My smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Come To Your Window
Come To Your Window
Composer(s): Bob Lind
Performer(s): Cher; The Hard Times
I'm leaving in the quiet early morning
When night has left the sky
Before the dew is dry
But it's not like it used to be
I'm leaving you this warning
You're gonna live to see the day
You long for me
Come to your window
It ain't too late to come
Into your sight again
Don't make me believe you
Before you let me have
A chance to try again
Or I'll be gone before
You ever know you're losing me
I know I've made mistakes
That bought you sorrow
But baby, keep in mind
You're not right all the time
Don't let me go away
To face a new tomorrow
Back where you bought me from
When I was glad to come
Come to your window
Look down and see the teardrops
In my desperate eyes
Look how I need you
I got to find a way to make you realize
That you are casting out
The deepest love you'll ever know
Please don't close your ears
To what I'm saying
Before I ride away into the early day
I spent the lonesome evening hours praying
That you will change your mind
And try me one more time
Come to your window
Before our love comes crashing
Into pieces on the ground
Don't let it happen
I promise you this time
I'll never let you down
Give me a cause to come
To your lonesome arms again
Come to your window
Look down and see the teardrops
In my desperate eyes
Look how I need you
I got to find a way to make you realize
That you are casting out
The deepest love you'll ever know

Rock & Roll Doctor
Rock & Roll Doctor
Composer(s): Lowell George; Fred Martin
Performer(s): Little Feat; Chris Smither
There was a woman in Georgia didn't feel just right
She had fever all day and chills at night
Now things got worse, yes a serious bind
At times like this it takes a man with such style I cannot often find
A doctor of the heart and a doctor of mind
If you like country with a boogie beat he's the man to meet
If you like the sound of shufflin' feet he can't be beat
If you wanna feel real nice, just ask the Rock and Roll doctor's advice
It's just a country town but patients come
From Mobile to Moline from miles around
Nagodoches to New Orleans
In beat-up old cars or in limousines
To meet the doctor of soul, he's got his very own thing
Two degrees in be-bop, a PHD in swing
He's the master of rhythm he's a rock and roll king
If you like country with a boogie beat he's the man to meet (he's the man to meet)
If you like the sound of shufflin' feet he can't be beat (I say he can't be beat)
If you... If you wanna
If you wanna feel real nice, just ask the Rock and Roll doctor's advice

Come To The Supermarket In Old Peking
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand;
Loretta Devine; Gregory Jbara; Patti LuPone
If you want a fancy fan
Or a turkey born in Turkey-stan
Or a slave that's awf'lly African
Or a Teapot early Ming
Come to the supermarket in old Peking
If you want to buy a kite
Or a pup to keep you up at night
Or a dwarf who used to know Snow White
Or a frog who loves to sing
Come to the supermarket in old Peking
They have
Sunflow'r cakes, moonbeam cakes
Gizzard cakes, lizard cakes
Pickled eels, pickle snakes
Fit for any king
If you want a bust of jade
Or an egg that's more or less decayed
Or in case you care to meet a maid
For a nice but naughty fling
Come to the supermarket
If you come on an ostrich, you can park it
So come to the supermarket
And see Peking
If you want a gong to beat
Or a rickshaw with a sassy seat
Or a painting slightly indiscreet
That is simply riveting
Come to the supermarket and see Peking
Well, If you want some calico
Or a gentle water buffalo
Glow worm guaranteed to glow
Or a cloak inclined to cling,
Come to the supermarket in old Peking
They have bird's-nest soup, seaweed soup
Noodle soup, poodle soup
Talking crows with the croup
Almost anything
If you want to buy a saw
Or a fish delicious when it's raw
Or a pill to kill your moth'r-in-law
Or a bee without a sting
Come to the supermarket
If you come on a turtle, you can park it
So come to the supermarket
If you come on a goose, you can park it
So come to the supermarket
And see Peking!

Rock And Roll Band
Rock And Roll Band
Composer(s): Tom Scholz
Performer(s): Boston & REO Speedwagon;
New Duncan Imperials; Smokin'
Well, we were just another band out of Boston
On the road to try to make ends meet
Playin' all the bars, sleepin' in our cars
And we practiced right on out in the street
No, we didn't have much money
We barely made enough to survive
But when we got up on stage and got ready to play
People came alive
Rock and roll band
Everybody's waitin'
Gettin' crazy
Anticipating love and music
Play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Dancin' in the streets of Hyannis
We were getting pretty good at the game
People stood in line and didn't seem to mind
You know everybody knew our name
Livin' on rock-n-roll music
Never worry 'bout the things we were missing
When we got up on the stage and got ready to play
Everybody'd listen
Rock and roll band
Everybody's waitin'
Gettin' crazy
Anticipating love and music
Play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Playin' for a week in Rhode Island
A man came to the stage one night
He smoked a big cigar
Drove a Cadillac car
And said, "Boys, I think this bands outta-sight
Sign a record company contract
You know I've got great expectations
When I hear you on the car radio
You're goin' to be a sensation!"
Rock and roll band
Everybody's waitin'
Gettin' crazy
Anticipating love and music
Play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

The Toymaker's Dream
The Toymaker's Dream
Composer(s): Ernie Golden
Performer(s): Vaughn DeLeath
A jolly little workman was making toys all day
So children could be happy when they were all at play
One night when all was quiet, his daily work was done
In the shadows deep he fell fast asleep as the toys woke one by one
Though it's just in dreams, still to him it seems that his toys have come to life
There's a bugler boy blowing notes of joy and a toy that blows a fife
Hear that big bass drum going "rum tum tum" to the sound of tramping feet
See the toyman smile as the rank and file come a-marching up the street
There's lions, camels, tigers, an elephant or two
Just hear that great big rooster sing "cock-a-doo-dle-doo"
And dear old Mother Hubbard who found her cupboard bare
And Santa Claus who's here because he has some toys to share
There's battleships and cruisers and big electric trains
The skyway up above him is filled with aeroplanes
Right in his little workshop he made them all it's true
Attention! Attention! Get ready for review
A jolly little workman was making toys all day
So children could be happy when they were all at play
One night when all was quiet, his daily work was done
In the shadows deep he fell fast asleep as the toys woke one by one
All the toys play on till the break of dawn, though they're made of wood and clay
Ev'ry one is there and they do their share to make whoopee and be gay
When the clock strikes five they can't be alive, so they scramble for themselves
And the toyman wakes and shivers and shakes as he sees them on the shelves
There's lions, camels, tigers, an elephant or two
Just hear that great big rooster sing "cock-a-doo-dle-doo"
And dear old Mother Hubbard who found her cupboard bare
And Santa Claus who's here because he has some toys to share
There's battleships and cruisers and big electric trains
The skyway up above him is filled with aeroplanes
Right in his little workshop he made them all himself
Attention! Attention! March back upon the shelf

Rock & Roll (I Gave You The Best Years Of My Life)
Rock & Roll (I Gave You The Best Years Of My Life)
Composer(s): Kevin Johnson
Performer(s): Mac Davis
I can still remember
When I bought my first guitar
Remember just how good the feeling
To put it proudly in my car
And my fam'ly listened fifty times
To my two song repertoire
I told my mom
Her only son was gonna be a star
Bought all the Beatles records
I sounded just like Paul
I bought all the old Chuck Berry's - 78's and all
I sat by my record player
Playing ev'ry note they played
I watched them all on TV
Making ev'ry move they made
Rock and roll, I gave you all
The best years of my life
All the dreamy sunny Sundays
All the moonlit summer nights
I was so busy in the backroom
Writing love songs to you
While you were changing your direction
And you never even knew
That I was always just one step behind you
Sixty-six seemed like the year
I was really going somewhere
We were living in San Francisco
With flowers in our hair
Singing songs of kindness
So the world would understand
To the guys and me you were something more
Than just another band
And then sixty-nine in L.A.
Came around so soon
We were really making headway
And writing lots of tunes
And we must have played
The wildest stuff that we had ever played
And the way the crowds cried out for us
We thought we had it made
Rock and roll, I gave you all
The best years of my life
All the crazy, lazy, young days
All the magic moon at night
I was so busy on the road
Singing love songs to you
While you were changing your direction
And you never even knew
That I was always just one step behind you
Seventy-one and so alone
When I met Susanne
I was trying to go it solo
With someone else's band
She came up to me later
And I took her by the hand
And I told her all my troubles
And she seemed to understand
And she followed me to London
Through a hundred hotel rooms
Through a hundred record companies
Who didn't like my tunes
She followed me when finally
I sold my old guitar
She tried to help me
Understand I'd never be a star
Rock and roll, I gave you
All the best years of my life
All the dreamy, sunny Sundays
All the moonlit summer nights
And though I never knew
The magic of making it with you
That I thank the Lord for giving me
The little bit I knew
And I was always just one step behind you

There was nothin' happening at all
Every time she puts on the radio
There was nothin' goin' down at all, not at all
Then, one fine mornin', she puts on a New York station
You know, she couldn't believe what she heard at all
She started shakin' to that fine, fine music
You know, her life was saved by rock 'n'roll
Despite all the imputations
You know, you could just go out
And dance to a rock'n'roll station
And it was all right, hey baby
You know, it was all right

`You know, my parents are gonna be the death of us all
Two TV sets and two Cadillac cars
Well, you know, ain't gonna help me at all`

She doesn't believe what she hears at all
Ooh, she started dancin' to that fine, fine music
