If Heaven Ain't A Lot Like Dixie
If Heaven Ain't A Lot Like Dixie
Composer(s): Bill Maddox; D. Moore
Performer(s): Hank Williams Jr.; Distillery Dave
If Heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I don't wanna go
If Heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I'd just as soon stay home
I was one of the chosen few to be born in Alabam'
I'm just alike my Daddy, son, I'm proud of who I am
I went through a lot of good women, shook old Jim Beam's hand
If I never see the pearly gates, I've walked through the promised land
If Heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I don't wanna go
If Heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I'd just as soon stay home
If they don't have a Grand Old Opry, like they do in Tennessee
Just send me to Hell or New York City, it would be 'bout the same to me
I got wild honey trees and crazy little weeds, growin' around my shack
These dusty roads ain't streets of gold, but I'm-a happy right where I'm at
All these pretty little Southern belles are a country boy's dream
They ain't got wings or halos, but they're sure lookin' good to me
If Heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I don't wanna go
If Heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I'd just as soon stay home
If they don't have a Grand Old Opry, like they do down in Tennessee
Just send me to Hell or New York City, it would be 'bout the same to me
If Heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I don't wanna go
If Heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I'd just as soon stay home
If Heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I don't wanna go
If Heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I'd just as soon stay home
If they ain't got a Grand Old Opry, like they do in Tennessee
Just send me to Hell or New York City, it would be 'bout the same to me

You Must Believe In Spring
You Must Believe In Spring
((Adapted from: La Chanson De Maxence (Michel Legrand) - 1967))
Composer(s): Michel Legrand - Jacques Demy - Alan Bergman - Marilyn Bergman
Performer(s): Cleo Laine - 1973
and multiple other artists
When lonely feelings chill
The meadows of your mind
Just think if Winter comes
Can Spring be far behind?
Beneath the deepest snows
The secret of a rose
Is merely that it knows
You must believe in Spring!
Just as a tree is sure
Its leaves will reappear
It knows its emptiness
Is just the time of year
The frozen mountain dreams
Of April's melting streams
How crystal clear it seems
You must believe in Spring!
You must believe in love
And trust it's on its way
Just as the sleeping rose
Awaits the kiss of May
So in a world of snow
Of things that come and go
Where what you think you know
You can't be certain of
You must believe in Spring and love
So in a world of snow
Of things that come and go
Where what you think you know
You can't be certain of
You must believe in Spring and love

If He Walked Into My Life
If He Walked Into My Life
Dutch Title: Als Je Plotseling Voor Me Staat - 1968
Composer(s): Jerry Herman
Performer(s): Eydie Gorme - 1960
Mame:
Where is that boy with the bugle?
My little love was always my big romance
Where's that boy with the bugle?
And why did I ever buy him those damn long pants?
Did he need a stronger hand?
Did he need a lighter touch?
Was I soft or was I tough?
Did I give enough?
Did I give too much?
At the moment when he needed me
Did I ever turn away?
Would I be there when he called
If he walked into my life today
Were his days a little dull?
Were his nights a little wild?
Did I overstate my plan?
Did I stress the man?
And forget the child
And there must have been a million things
That my heart forgot to say
Would I think of one or two
If he walked into my life today
Should I blame the times I pampered him
Or blame the times I bossed him
What a shame!
I never really found the boy
Before I lost him
Were the years a little fast?
Was his world a little free?
Was there too much of a crowd?
All too lush and loud and not enough for me
Though I'll ask myself my whole life long
What went wrong along the way
Would I make the same mistakes
If he walked into my life today?
If that boy with the bugle
If he walked into my life today
Patrick:
Where is that girl with the promise?
The girl who tried to show me what love could be
Where is that girl with the promise?
And why do I feel the someone to blame is me?
Did she need a stronger hand?
Did she need a lighter touch?
Was I soft or was I tough?
Did I give enough?
Did I give too much?
At the moment that she needed me
Did I ever turn away?
Would I be there when she called
If she walked into my life today
Did she mind the lonely nights?
Did she count the empty days?
Was I silent, was I cold?
Was I quick to scold?
Was I slow to praise?
And there must have been a million things
That my heart forgot to say
Would I think of one or two
If she walked into my life today
Should I blame the times I pampered her
Or blame the times I bossed her
What a shame!
I never really found the girl
Before I lost her
Were the years a little fast?
Was her world a little free?
Was there too much of a crowd?
All too lush and loud and not enough for me
Though I'll ask myself my whole life long
What went wrong along the way
Would I make the same mistakes
If she walked into my life today?
If that girl with the promise
If he walked into my life today

Somehow nothing's going right
And I wonder will it ever
Get any better
When I'm starting to feel
As tho a song was never heard (Never Heard)
I see you there (Sing)
Singin' along with every word
And you were singin'
Keep Rockin'!
For all the words to keep me goin'
For the time you shook my hand
And when you seem to understand!
Got nothin' here that I can give you
Got nothin' left to save your soul!
Got nothin' more!
Just Rock 'n' Roll!
Keep Rockin'
Keep Rockin'
'Till You're Bound to Drop
Keep Rockin'
Don't you Ever, ever Stop

It's So Easy To Forget
It's So Easy To Forget
Composer(s): Gordon Charles - Jean David
Performer(s): The Four Lads
It's so easy to forget the things I learned in school
Like what year Columbus sailed the ocean blue
For I'm too busy rememb'ring the tears we wouldn't cry
When we said good-bye -- gee, I thought I'd die
It's so easy to forget the things in hist'ry books
Things like who did what to whom at Waterloo
It's so easy to forget, so very easy to forget
When all I remember is you
It's so easy to forget the things in hist'ry books
Things like who did what to whom at Waterloo
It's so easy to forget, so very easy to forget
When all I remember, all I remember
All I remember is you

If He Tells You
If He Tells You
Composer(s): Chris Andrews
Performer(s): Adam Faith & The Roulettes
(Doo-wah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
(Doo-wah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
If he tells you tonight he thinks of you
In a really special way
If he tells you tonight that he loves you
What more can he say
Then you must say to him you love him too
But if he tells you you're through
Well then I'm asking you
Please come back again, back to me again
If he tells you he's blue and he's lonely
Till he's there by your side
If he tells you he cares for you only
And you feel satisfied
Then you must say to him you're lonely too
But if he tells you goodbye
And you feel you must cry
Cry to me, my love, cry to me, my love
The longer I'm away from you
The stronger my love seems to be
Must I cry the whole night through
Each day you're away from me
If he tells you at night he can't sleep, dear
Just for thinking of you
If he tells you his love is for keeps, dear
And he'll always be true
Then you must say to him you love him too
But if he happens to say that he's going away
I'll be here, my love, waiting here, my love
I'll be here, my love, waiting here

Keep Searchin'
Keep Searchin'
Performer(s): Del Shannon
No one will understand
What I've got to do
I've got to find a place to hide
With my baby by my side
She's been hurt so much
They treat her mean and cruel
They try to keep us far apart
There's only one thing left we can do
We gotta keep searchin' searchin'
Find a place to hide, searchin' searchin'
She'll be by my side
If we gotta keep on the run
We'll follow the sun (wee-ooo)
Follow the sun
Doesn't matter, doesn't matter what people might say
She's mine and I'm gonna take her anyway
We gotta keep searchin' searchin'
Find a place to stay, searchin' searchin'
Every night and day
If we gotta keep on the run
We'll follow the sun now (wee-ooo)
Follow the sun now (wee-ooo)

That Was A Big Fat Lie
That Was A Big Fat Lie
Composer(s): Jule Styne - Sammy Cahn
Performer(s): Doris Day; Keely Smith
I kind of believed you when you said your nights were lonely
Until the day that I came by
But when you whispered that I was your one & only
That was a big fat lie
I should have been wiser than I was
And seen right through you
But the moon got in my eye
That stuff about I never lived until I knew you
That was a big fat lie
You must have started to fib when you were wearing a bib
And such a habits hard to break
A little lie is okay
But when you lie night & day
That's more than even I can take
You told me we oughta marry
And I let you sway me
Kissed my happy days goodbye
And when you told that man you'd honor & obey me
That, baby, was a big fat lie
Let's face it you're no George Washington
An over exaggeration of a super prevarication
Just a big fat lie

If Ever You're In My Arms Again
If Ever You're In My Arms Again
Composer(s): Michael Masser; Tom Snow; Cynthia Weil
Performer(s): Peabo Bryson
and multiple other artists
It all came so easy
All the loving you gave me
The feelings we shared
And I still can remember
How you touched me so tender
It told me you cared
We had a once in a lifetime
But I just couldn't see
Until it was gone
A second once in a life time
May be too much to ask but I swear from now on
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll love you much better
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll hold you forever
This time will never end
Now I'm seeing clearly
How I still need you near me
I still love you so
There's something between us
That won't ever leave us
There's no letting go
We had a once in a lifetime
But I just didn't know it
Till my life fell apart
A second once in a life time
Isn't too much to ask cause I swear from the heart
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll love you much better
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll hold you forever
This time will never end
Never end
Climax:
The best of romances
Deserves second chances
I'll get to you somehow
'Cause I promise now
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll love you much better
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll hold you forever
This time will never end

Keep the ball rollin'
Keep the ball rollin'
Girl, the name of the game is love
On your mark get set
Let the kissin' start
And just a-keep the ball rollin'
Baby right into my heart
How can you ask me to try
And get by with just one little kiss
The kissin' you do
I need a second helpin' too
When you light the fire in my heart
And every part of me is burning
You've got to put your lips closer to mine, girl
You got to follow it through
(You got to follow it through)

Keep the ball rollin'
Keep the ball rollin'
Girl, the name of the game is love
On your mark get set
Let the kissin' start
And just a-keep the ball rollin'
Baby right into my heart
Half of a loaf isn't better than none
When I'm starvin' for you
Don't hold me tight if every night we stop at two
If you want me there when you call
Then girl, it's all or nothing
Next time you do
You got to put your lips closer to mine
Girl you got to follow it through
(You got to follow it through)
(You got to follow it through)
And just keep the ball rollin' baby
Keep the ball rollin'
Girl, the name of the game is love
On your mark get set
Let the kissin' start
And just a-keep the ball rollin'
Baby right into my heart

You Fascinate Me So
You Fascinate Me So
Performer(s): Blossom Dearie
I have a feeling that beneath the little halo on your noble head
There lies a thought or two the devil might be interested to know
You're like the finish of a novel that I'll finally have to take to bed
You fascinate me so
I feel like Christopher Columbus when I'm near enough to contemplate
The sweet geography descending from your eyebrow to your toe
The possibilities are more than I can possibly enumerate
That's why you fascinate me so
So sermonize and preach to me
Make your sanctimonious little speech to me
But oh my darling you forgive my inability to concentrate
I think I'm dealing with a powderkeg that's just about to blow
Will the end result deflate me, or will you annihilate me
You fascinate me so
So sermonize and preach to me
Make your sanctimonious little speech to me
But oh my darling you forgive my inability to concentrate
I think I'm dealing with a powderkeg that's just about to blow
Will the end result deflate me, or will you annihilate me
You aggravate me
You irritate me
You fascinate me so

If Ever I Would Leave You
If Ever I Would Leave You
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
Performer(s): Robert Goulet
and multiple other artists
If ever I would leave you
It wouldn't be in summer
Seeing you in summer
I never would go
Your hair streaked with sunlight
Your lips red as flame
Your face with a lustre
That puts gold to shame!
But if I'd ever leave you
It couldn't be in autumn
How I'd leave in autumn
I never will know
I've seen how you sparkle
When fall nips the air
I know you in autumn
And I must be there
And could I leave you
Running merrily through the snow?
Or on a wintry evening
When you catch the fire's glow?
If ever I would leave you
How could it be in springtime?
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so?
Oh, no! not in springtime!
Summer, winter or fall!
No, never could I leave you at all!

Keep The Customer Satisfied
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Simon & Garfunkel;
Liz Larsen; Gary Puckett; Buddy Rich
Gee but it's great to be back home
Home is where I want to be.
I've been on the road so long my friend
And if you came along
I know you couldn't disagree
Chorus:
It's the same old story
Everywhere I go
I get slandered
Libelled
I hear words I never heard In the Bible
And I'm one step ahead of the shoeshine
Two steps away from the county line
Just trying to keep my customers satisfied
Satisfied.
Deputy Sheriff said to me
Tell me what you come here for, boy
You better get your bags and flee
You're in trouble boy,
And you're heading into more
Chorus:

Composer(s): Benny Davis - Ted Murry
Performer(s): The McGuire Sisters
Doesn't anybody love me? Doesn't anybody care?
Doesn't anybody want me, anybody, anywhere?
I ain't never had no lovin', I'm so tired of bein' blue
Ev'rybody needs somebody, and I need somebody too
There must be someone for ev'ryone, they say
That's why I ask myself a million times a day
Doesn't anybody hear me when I say my lonely prayer?
Doesn't anybody love me? Doesn't anybody care?
There must be someone for ev'ry single one they say
That's why I ask myself a million times a day
Doesn't anybody hear me when I say my lonely prayer?
Doesn't anybody love me? Doesn't anybody care?

If Ever A Heart Was In The Right Place
Composer(s): Harry M. Woods
Performer(s): Henry Hall
If ever a heart was in the right place, it's yours
If I need a hand in any tight place, it's yours
If I were lost out in the ocean
I know that somewhere in that ocean
You and your devotion
Would be the life preserver for me
If ever a smile was any sweeter, it's yours
If ever a love made life completer, it's yours
For when I hold you close to me
It's then I know most of all
If ever a heart was in the right place, it's yours
