Matthew And Son
Matthew And Son
Composer(s): Cat Stevens
Performer(s): Cat Stevens
and various other artists
Up at eight, you can't be late
for Matthew & Son, he won't wait
Watch them run down to platform one
And the eight-thirty train to Matthew & Son
Matthew & Son, the work's never done, there's always something new
The files in your head, you take them to bed, you're never ever through
And they've been working all day, all day, all day!
There's a five minute break and that's all you take
for a cup of cold coffee and a piece of cake
Matthew & Son, the work's never done, there's always something new
The files in your head, you take them to bed, you're never ever through
And they've been working all day, all day, all day!
He's got people who've been working for fifty years
No one asks for more money cuz nobody cares
Even though they're pretty low and their rent's in arrears
Matthew & Son, Matthew & Son, Matthew & Son, Matthew & Son
And they've been working all day, all day, all day!

Old New Hampshire
Old New Hampshire
Composer(s): Dr. John F. Holmes; Maurice Hoffmann
With a skill that knows no measure
From the golden store of Fate
God, in His great love and wisdom
Made the rugged Granite State
Made the lakes, the fields, the forests
Made the Rivers and the rills
Made the bubbling, crystal fountains
Of New Hampshire's Granite Hills
Refrain:
Old New Hampshire, Old New Hampshire
Old New Hampshire Grand and Great
We will sing of Old New Hampshire
Of the dear old Granite State
Builded he New Hampshire glorious
From the borders to the sea
And with matchless charm and splendor
Blessed her for eternity
Hers, the majesty of mountain
Hers, the grandeur of the lake
Hers, the truth as from the hillside
Whence her crystal waters break
Refrain

Matt Hyland
Matt Hyland
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Dubliners
and various other artists
There was a lord who lived in this town
Who had a lovely and handsome daughter
She was courted by a fine young man
Who was a servan to her father
And when her parents came to know
They swore they'd ban him from the island
The maid she swore that heart would break
Had she to part with young Matt Hyland
So straight away to her love she goes
Into his room to awake him
Saying arise my love and go away
This very night you will be taken
I overheard my parents say
Inspite of me they will transport you
So arise my love and go away
I wish to God I'd gone before you
They both sat down up on the bed
Just for the side of one half hour
And not a word by either said
As down their cheeks the tears did shower
She laid her hand up an his breast
Around his neck her arms entwined
Not a duke nor lord nor an earl I'll wed
I'll wait for you my own Matt Hyland
The lord discoursed with her daughter fair
One night alone in her chamber
Saying we'll give you leave for to bring him back
Since there's no one can win your favour
She wrote a letter then in haste
Her heart for him was still repining
They brought him back to the church they went
And made a lord of young Matt Hyland

You had better watch out yeh
when this cat is around he's motorbike child
he just takes to the road
a riding chicken alone

Rock an rollin' giving everything he got
When he's dancin'he rocks around the clock
just a rollin' his everything in life is rock'n roll

got a joke box and rock is all it
plays just a rollin'he doesn't have a care

Matrimony
Matrimony
Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan;
Dutch Swing College Band; Ray Hamilton
I´ve no wish to hurry you luv
But have you seen the time
It´s quarter to ten and we´re supposed to be there
At nine
I don´t think the registrar
Will be very pleased
When we show up an hour late
Like two frozen peas
Both now facing for the first time
Presently and past
Something that begins with M
And ends in alas
More than not complete disaster
Even from the start
What could it be...
It´s Matrimony
I know how you´ve dreamt about
Being walk down the aisle
But think of the money we´ll save
And you´ll see it´s worthwhile
It won´t please our mums and dads
But they don´t even know
Besides if they did what´s the betting
They wouldn´t even go
You and me are all that matters
Disregard the rest
Trust your soon to be the old man
He knows what is best
Very shortly now there´s going to be
An answer from you
Then one from me
That´s matrimony
I´m truly grateful for the little things in life
That have made me so glad
Every other hour that I spend with you
Is not in the least bit sad
Quite the opposite in fact
And if you don´t believe me
Here´s the proof
Ask me if I and I´ll say "Aye, I do"
Marriage - the joining together of the two people
For better or for worse till death them do part
Olé!

Old Man Mose
Old Man Mose
Composer(s): Louis Armstrong; Zilner Randolph
Performer(s): Louis Armstrong;
and various other artists
Now one time there lived an old man
With a very crooked nose
He lived inside a log hut
and they called him ol' man Mose
One dark and dreary morning I knocked upon his door
I didn't hear a single sound
so I ain't gonna do it no more
'cos I believe ol' man, I believe ol' man
I believe ol' man, thatol' man Mose is dead
I believe ol' man, I believe ol' man
I believe ol' man, that ol' man Mose is dead
(Now you believe) Mose kicked the bucket
(You believe) Mose kicked the bucket
(You believe) Mose kicked the bucket
(You believe he's dead)
(You believe) Mose kicked the bucket
(You believe) Mose kicked the bucket
(You believe) Mose kicked the bucket
(You believe he's dead)
Now listen here
I went round to the window
And I peeped in through the crack
Inside there was an old man
Laying flat upon his back
I thought that he was sleeping
Head hung to the floor
He didn't make a single move
So I ain't gonna do it no more
'cos I found out ol' man, I found out ol' man
yeah, I found out ol' man, ol' man Mose is dead
('cos you found out) ol' man
(you found out) ol' man
(you found out) ol' man
(you found out he's dead)
(you found out) Mose kicked the bucket
(you found out) Mose kicked the bucket
(you found out) Mose kicked the bucket
(you found out he's dead)
(you found out) Mose kicked the bucket
(you found out) Mose kicked the bucket
(you found out) Mose kickin' up daisies
(you found out he's dead)
Old Man Mose is dead

Old Man Emu
Old Man Emu
Composer(s): John Williamson
Performer(s): John Williamson; The Wiggles
Let me tell you of an interview with an Old Man Emu
He's got a beak and feathers and things
But the poor old fella ain't got no wings
Aren't you jealous of the wedge-tail eagle?
Oom-ba-da-liddle-da-da-da
"While the eagle's flying round and round
I keep my two feet firmly on the ground
Now, I can't fly, but I'm telling you
I can run the pants of a kangaroo"
Ba-da-da-da-doo-do-doo-doo-da-doo-da-doo-doo
He can't fly, but I'm telling you
He can run the pants of a kangaroo
Well he was the model for the fifty cents
Oom-ba-da-liddle-da-da-da
The designer should have had more sense
Oom-ba-da-liddle-da-da-da
"If you take a look, it'll prove to you
I ran the pants off that kangaroo"
Ba-da-doo-doo-da-doo-doo-doo, doo-da-doo-da-doo-doo
Take a look it'll prove to you
He ran the pants off the kangaroo
You can't loop the loop like a cockatoo
Oom-ba-da-liddle-da-da-da
Swoop and toss like an albatross
Oom-ba-da-liddle-da-da-da
"You silly galah, I'm better by far
Than a white cockatoo or a budgerigar
They squeak and squawk and try to talk
Why me and them's like cheese and chalk"
Ba-da-doo-doo-da-doo-doo-doo, doo-da-doo-da-doo-doo
He can't fly but I'm telling you
He can run the pants off a kangaroo
Well the last time I saw Old Man Emu
Oom-ba-da-liddle-da-da-da
He was chasing a female he knew
Oom-ba-da-liddle-da-da-da
As he shot past I heard him say
"She can't fly, but I'm telling you
She could run the pants off a kangaroo"
Ba-da-doo-doo-da-doo-doo-doo, doo-da-doo-da-doo-doo
She can't fly but I'm telling you
She could run the pants of a kangaroo
Well there is a moral to this ditty
Oom-ba-da-liddle-da-da-da
Thrush can sing but he ain't pretty
Oom-ba-da-liddle-da-da-da
Duck can swim, but he can't sing
Nor can the eagle on the wing
Emu can't fly, but I'm telling you
He can run the pants off a kangaroo
Well the kookaburra laughed and said "It's true"
Oom-ba-da-liddle-da-da-da
"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-hoo
He can run the pants off a kangaroo
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha"

Old man look at my life
I'm a lot like you were
Old man look at my life
I'm a lot like you were
Old man look at my life
Twenty four and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise

Give me things that don't get lost
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you
Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true
Lullabies, look in your eyes
Run around the same old town
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you
I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past
But I'm all alone at last
Rolling home to you
Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true
Old man look at my life
I'm a lot like you were

Matilda Mother
Matilda Mother
Composer(s): Syd Barrett
Originally performed by: Pink Floyd
Covered by various other artists
There was a king who ruled the land
His majesty was in command
With silver eyes the scarlet eagle
Showers silver on the people
Oh Mother, tell me more
Why'd'ya have to leave me there
Hanging in my infant air
Waiting?
You only have to read the lines
They're scribbly black and everything shines
Across the stream with wooden shoes
With bells to tell the king the news
A thousand misty riders climb up
Higher once upon a time
Wandering and dreaming
The words have different meaning
Yes they did
For all the time spent in that room
The doll's house, darkness, old perfume
And fairy sories held me high on
Clouds of sunlight floating by
Oh Mother, tell me more
Tell me more
Aaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaah

Fais comme si tu ne savais pas
Que la Mathilde est revenue

Qu'elle est plus belle qu'avant l'été
La Mathilde qui est revenue
Mon cœur arrête de bringuebaler
Souviens-toi qu'elle t'a déchiré

Dites-moi dites-moi qu'il ne faut pas
Maudite Mathilde puisque te v'là
Et vous mes mains restez tranquilles
C'est un chien qui nous revient de la ville

Et vous mes mains ne frappez pas
Tout ça ne vous regarde pas

Et vous mes mains ne tremblez plus
Souvenez-vous quand je vous pleurais dessus

Vous mes mains ne vous ouvrez pas
Vous mes bras ne vous tendez pas
Sacrée Mathilde puisque te v'là
Ma mère arrête tes prières
Ton Jacques retourne en enfer

Va tendre mon grand lit de draps
Mathilde m'est revenue
Amis ne comptez plus sur moi
Je crache au ciel encore une fois
Ma belle Mathilde puisque te v'là te v'là

Well she filled my tank, I says thank you honey
Her name is Mavis, I gave her the money

Mathilda
Composer(s): Francis Lemarque; Marie Cowan
Performer(s): Yves Montand
Le vent du passé me murmure un conte effacé
Eveillant mes amours fanées
Valse du souvenir, mélodie des désirs oubliés
Quand vous dansiez Mathilda, pour moi
Valsez Mathilda
Valsez Mathilda
Charmant fantôme de mes jours fleuris
Tourbillon parfumé
En valsant vous étiez si jolie
Quand vous dansiez Mathilda, pour moi
Comme un vent léger qui passe et ne revient jamais
En souriant m'avez quitté
J'ai retrouvé ce soir le chemin des Espoirs envolés
Quand vous dansiez Mathilda, pour moi
Où êtes-vous Mathilda?
Où êtes-vous Mathilda?
Où dansez-vous Mathilda, sans moi?
Si jolie vous étiez
Hélas ! Jamais plus ne me reviendrez
Quand vous dansiez Mathilda, pour moi
Si jolie vous étiez
Hélas! Jamais plus ne me reviendrez
Quand vous dansiez Mathilda, pour moi

Old Hippie
Old Hippie
Composer(s): David Bellamy
Performer(s): The Bellamy Brothers
He turned thirty-five last Sunday
In his hair he found some gray
But he still ain't changed his lifestyle
He likes it better the old way
So he grows a little garden in the back yard by the fence
He's consuming what he's growing nowadays in self defense
He get's out there in the twilight zone
Sometimes when it just don't make no sense
He gets off on country music
Cause disco left him cold
He's got young friends into new wave
Buts he's just too friggin old
And he dreams at night of Woodstock
And the day John Lennon died
How the music made him happy
And the silence made him cry
Yea he thinks of John sometimes
And he has to wonder why
Chorus:
He's an old hippie
And he don't know what to do
Should he hang on to the old
Should he grab on to the new
He's an old hippie
His new life is just a bust
He ain't trying to change nobody
He just trying real hard to adjust
He was sure back in the sixties
That everyone was hip
Then they sent him off to Vietnam
On his senior trip
And they forced him to become a man
While he was still a boy
And in each wave of tragedy
He waited for the joy
Now this world may change around him
But he just can't change no more
Chorus
Well he stays away a lot now
From the parties and the clubs
And he's thinking while he's joggin' 'round
Sure is glad he quit the hard drugs
Cause him and his kind get more endangered everyday
And pretty soon the species
Will just up and fade away
Like the smoke from that torpedo
Just up and fade away

Originally performed by: Cookie & the Cupcakes
Covered by various other artists
My love for you will always be
Just a faded memory
Yes I've cried and cried for you
Yes no matter what you do
You gave me love when there was none
You know you're the only one
Yes I've cried and cried in vain
I want my baby back again
Mathilda I've cried and cried for you
Oh no matter what you do
Yes I've cried and cried in vain
I want my baby back again
Piano Solo
Oh Mathilda I've cried and cried for you
Oh darlin' it don't matter what you do
Yes I've cried and cried in vain
Lord I wan't my baby back again
Come on home baby!

Old Friends (Simon & Garfunkel)
Old Friends
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Simon & Garfunkel;
and various other artists
Old friends, old friends
Sat on their parkbench like bookends
A newspaper blown through the grass
Falls on the round toes
of the high shoes of the old friends
Old friends, winter companions, the old men
Lost in their overcoats, waiting for the sunset
The sounds of the city sifting through trees
Settle like dust on the shoulders of the old friends
Can you imagine us years from today
Sharing a parkbench quietly
How terribly strange to be seventy
Old friends, memory brushes the same years
Silently sharing the same fears
