Men Are Gettin' Scarce
Men Are Gettin' Scarce
Composer(s): Joe Tex
Performer(s): Joe Tex
Girls listen, I'm gonna cool you cooks to something
Listen to this
Men are gettin scarce girls
Gettin' scarce as hen's teeth, yeah
Men are gettin' scarce girls
Gettin' scarce as hen's teeth, yeah
There used to be a time
When a woman could get a man with just her charms
Now in order for a woman to get a man
She gotta, she gotta take him
She gotta take him, she gotta take him
She gotta take him right out of another woman's arms
Men are gettin scarce girls
Oh their gettin' scarce girls
Gettin' scarce as hen's teeth,(ha ha)
And that's mighty scarce
Listen to this
I was talkin' to this woman the other day
Now she said, she was gonna quit her man
Cause he's got a raggedy car
Can you get to that, look here, huh
Women are funny though
Every time her car is runnin' good
They say chile, that's my car (laughter)
soon as it gets to runnin' bad
She say ah I don't want that old car
That's his car (laughter)
Listen she gonna say to me
She said the other day, she said
It runs hot, it burns oil
This ole car is beat and rundown
The other day the battery fell dead
Right in the heart of town, embarrassin' me
Let me tell you one thing baby
You tell that man to get a tune up on that car
Get a new set of spark plugs, some brand new tires
And a new water pump and you keep that man
'Cause let me tell you one thing right now
Men are gettin scarce girls
Ah their gettin' scarce girls
They're gettin' scarce as hen's teeth,(ha ha)
And that's mighty scarce
Hold it band, hold it, hold it a minute
Say Miss Lady, now you just gonna sit there at that table
And eat all the barbecue and ain't gonna give me none
Say what? Oh not you again
Say LeRoy, here's this woman with them skinny legs again
She got a greasy mouth this time
Come over here and get this greasy mouth woman
She reminds me of them folks up in Navisoda, Texas
Eatin' barbecue and drinkin' red soda water on the 19th of June (laughter)
Look here, give me a piece of that barbecue
And kiss me with your greasy mouth (laughter)
I was talkin' to this woman the other day
Now here's a woman that was gonna quit her man
'Cause he wasn't makin' enough money on his job
Talkin' 'bout how much tax Uncle Sam take out of his money
She went on to say something like this
She say they take tax and more tax and they keep on takin' that tax
Why he take so much money from my man
We ain't got enough to relax
Well let me tell you one thing baby
You let that man stay on that ole measely job
and let him keep bringin' home that little $72.50 every week
And you keep that man
'Cause Uncle Sam is gonna get his baby
Don't you worry about that
Men are gettin' scarce baby
They're gettin' scarce as hen's teeth
You got some women their man ain't got no job
Men droppin' off like flies

One Kiss (Evelyn Laye)
One Kiss
Composer(s): Sigmund Romberg; Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Evelyn Laye;
and various other artists
In this year of Seventeen-Ninety-Two
Our conventions have been thrown all askew
And I know I'm out of date wWhen I seek one mate
One faithful lover true
To be really in the fashion today
You must have a dozen beaux in your sway
But somehow I don't believe in the modern plan
I want to wait for just one man
(It's more fun to love 'em all)
Kiss 'em all, short and tall)
I have another scheme
It's my only dream
One kiss, one man to save it for
One love for him alone
One word, one vow, and nothing more
To tell him I'm his own
One magic night within his arms
With passion's flower unfurled
And all my life I'll love only one man
And no other man in the world
(You've been reading stories of romantic glories)
(Are you growing sad for your Galahad?)
Soon my Knight may find me
Softly steal behind me
Put me on a horse
And carry me away
Laugh all you like at me
I'll find my man, you'll see
One kiss, one man to save it for
One love for him alone
One word, one vow, and nothing more
To tell him I'm his own
One magic night within his arms
With passion's flower unfurled
And all my life I'll love only one man
And no other man in the world

Men (The Forester Sisters)
Men
Composer(s): Robert Byrne; Alan Schulman
Performer(s): The Forester Sisters
They buy you dinner, open your door
Other then that, what are they good for?
Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men
They all want a girl just like the girl
That married dear old dad, they make me so mad
Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men
Well, you can't beat 'em up 'cause they're bigger then you
You can't live with 'em and you just can't shoot 'em
Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men
They love their toys, they make their noise
They're nothing but a bunch of overgrown boys
Men! I'm talking 'bout men
If you give 'em what they want, they never fall in love
Don't give 'em nothin', they can't get enough
Men! I'm talking 'bout men
Well, you can't beat 'em up 'cause they're bigger then you
You can't live with 'em and you just can't shoot 'em
Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men.
In the beginning they always aim to please
They serve a purpose, they fill a need
They ensure survival of the species
They take you for a ride, run out of gas
Most of the time they're a pain in the a-a yeah, yeah
Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men.
Well, you can't beat 'em up 'cause they're bigger then you
You can't live with 'em and you just can't shoot 'em
Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men
Silver tongue devils, well, they're lying through their teeth
Saying anything just to sweep you off your feet
Oh yeah, men! talkin' 'bout men
Mere mortal men

Manhattan Serenade
Manhattan Serenade
Composer(s): Louis Alter - Harold Adamson
Performer(s): Helen Forrest
and multiple other artists
I have a memory of a lovely refrain
And in my heart it will forever remain
Our song was like a blue white gem
My darling, do you remember?
That night in Manhattan was the start of it
We lived it and we loved every part of it
The glow of moonlight in the park
The lights that spell your name
The autumn breeze that fanned the spark
That set our hearts aflame
Our kiss was a sky-ride to the highest star
We made it without touching a handlebar
And I gave you my love
To the melody of the music, the madness
That made our Manhattan serenade
Our kiss was a sky-ride to the highest star
We made it without touching a handlebar
And I gave you my love
To the melody of the music, the madness
That made our Manhattan serenade

One Kiss (Bryan Ferry)
One Kiss
Composer(s): Bryan Ferry
Performer(s): Bryan Ferry
Now is the moment
Here is the place
And soon's the time to go
Seein's believin'
Or so he thought once
Now he's not so sure
One kiss - one for the road - what is more?
One kiss - roughly expressing all that lips are for
Where do they come from?
Doesn't she speak?
Where can they co from here?
Forever or never
Or once in a while
Their situation's clear
One kiss - never too late to miss
One too many a broken-up affair - like this
Spinning together
Drifting away
The song of love is strange
A never ending
"See you soon"
Too late - the music changed
One kiss - what kind of end is this?
One more touching impression - one lost love - one kiss
Just as he's trying
To open the door
He fumbles with the key
Clumsily playing for time
Without words
Some things you can only feel
One kiss - lost in shade
One tear - ever so slowly falling left to fade

Men (Charly McClain)
Men
Composer(s): Isaac Hayes; Ronny Scaife
Performer(s): Charly McClain; Isaac Hayes
Some men treat you just like a lady
Others treat you just like a child
And they can drive you so far away
Or they can drive you wild
Some you wanna show to your mama
And some you wouldn't show to your dad
Some wanna take you straight to the altar
And some just wanna take you to bed
Women, I'm here to tell you about 'em
Men, we couldn't make it without 'em
I've loved a few & I've found that a few need a friend
There's nothin' better than men to hold
There's nothin' better than men
Some men are as cold as December
Some are 'bout as hot as July
Sometimes they fill your life with happiness
Sometimes they make you cry
Women, I'm here to tell you about 'em
Men, we couldn't make it without 'em
I've loved a few & I've found that a few need a friend
There's nothin' better than men to hold
There's nothin' better than men

One In A Million You
One In A Million You
Composer(s): Sam Dees
Performer(s): Larry Graham;
and various other artists
Love had played its games on me so long
I started to believe I'd never find anyone
Doubt had tried to convince me to give in
Said you can't win...
But one day the sun it came a'shinin' through
The rain had stopped, and the skies were blue
And oh, what a revelation, to see
Someone was saying "I love you" to me
A one in a million, chance of a lifetime
And life showed compassion
And sent to me a stroke of love called you
A one in a million you
I was a lonely man with empty arms to fill
Then I found a piece of happiness to call my own
And life is worth living, again
For to love you, to me, is to live
A one in a million, chance of a lifetime
And life, showed compassion
And sent to me, a stroke of love, called you
A one in a million you
A one in a million, chance of a lifetime
And life, showed compassion
And sent to me, a stroke of love called you...
A one in a million you, a one in a million.....you

Memphis U.S.A.
Memphis U.S.A.
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
La musique que j'aime est née à Memphis Tennessee
Sur un riverboat qui descendait du Mississippi
C'est la source du blues, du rock et du country
On apprend ça dans les écoles à Memphis Tennessee
Et les filles sont belles à te faire tomber à genoux
Des noirs dans les églises jouent de la guitare comme des fous
Le King Elvis habite un boulevard qui porte son nom
Et merci Chuck Berry d'avoir écrit cette chanson
J'ai débarqué ici ma guitare me brûlait les mains
Pour tout recommencer depuis le début du chemin
Et remplir ma valise pour ramener ici
Cette musique sans frontière de Memphis Tennessee
On ne se couche pas ici à Memphis Tennessee
Et dans tous les clubs des guitares jouent toute la nuit
Si tu aimes le rock, alors tu es d'ici
Un peu de moi restera là à Memphis Tennessee
La musique que j'aime est née à Memphis Tennessee
Sur un riverboat qui descendait du Mississippi
C'est la source du blues, du rock et du country
Un peu de moi restera là à Memphis Tennessee
Ouais, un peu de moi restera là à Memphis Tennessee

One In A Million (The Platters)
One In A Million
Composer(s): Jeanette Miles; Tony Williams
Performer(s): The Platters
There is one in a million like you
A dream in a million come true
I confess that I really don't know why
But I know that I glow like I do
Yes once in a million is par
To find someone rare as you are
But now you're around
I have really found
That there's one in a million like you
Fate was surely kind to help my heart
find someone like you to be my love
I give thinks each day
That you came my way
Way out of heaven to try love
Yes one in a lifetime you know
Above heaven started below
Tho it may be rare
You and I will share
The love that has happened to few
For there's one in a million like you

Long distance information give me Memphis, Tennessee
Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number
but I know who placed the call
My uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall
Help me information to get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd phone me
here from Memphis, Tennessee
Her home is on the southside, high upon a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge
Help me information more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
Tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee
The last time I saw Marie she was waving me goodbye
With hurry home drops on her cheek
that trickled from her eye
Marie is only six years old, Information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee

Das cordas do meu violão
Que só teu amor procurou
Vem uma voz
Falar dos beijos perdidos
Nos lábios teus
Canta o meu coração
Alegria voltou
Tão feliz a manhã
Deste amor

One In A Million (America)
Composer(s): Gerry Beckley
Performer(s): America
One night, one in a million
Twilight, lastin' us through tomorrow
Nothing can come between us
That's what I wanna do
Today, there will be no competition
I think today might be
A one in a million for me
I've seen the sun drop below my roof line
I really think it might
Be a one in a million delight
All of my dreams go with you tonight
We'll walk down the roads of our impatience
And if one has to fall
He won't be too proud to call
Some doors I've closed just to reopen
And then sometimes I find
Everything wrong's turned to right
All of my dreams go with you tonight
One night, one in a million
Twilight, lastin' us through tomorrow
Nothing can come between us
That's what I want for you

One hundred years from this day
will the people still feel this way
Still say the things that they're saying right now
Everyone said I'd hurt you

If I go away

Nobody knows what kind of trouble we're in
Nobody seems to think it'll all might happen again
One hundred years from this time
would anybody change their minds
And find out one thing or two about life
But people are always talking
You know they're always talking
Everybody's so wrong that I know it's gonna work out right
Nobody knows what kind of trouble we're in
Nobody seems to think it all might happen again

One Hundred Ways
One Hundred Ways
Composer(s): Tony Coleman;
Kathy Wakefield; Benjamin Wright
Performer(s): Quincy Jones;
and various other artists
Compliment what she does
Send her roses just because
If it's violins she loves
Let them play
Dedicate her favourite song
And hold her closer all night long
Love her today
Find one hundred ways
Dont forget, there could be
An old lover in her memory
If you need her so much more
Why don't you say?
Maybe she has it in her mind
That she's just wasting her time
Ask her to stay
Find one hundred ways
Being cool won't help you keep a love warm
You'll just blow your only chance
Take the time to open up your heart
That's the secret of romance
Sacrifice if you care
Buy her some moonlight to wear
If it's one more star she wants
Go all the way
In your arms tonight, she'll reflect
That she owes you the sweetest of debts
If she wants to pay
Find one hundred ways
Love her today
Find one hundred ways

Memphis In The Meantime
Composer(s): John Hiatt
Performer(s): John Hiatt
and various other artists
I got some'n' to say little girl
You might not like my style
But we been hangin' around this town
Just a little too long a while
You say you're gonna get your act together
Gonna take it out on the road
But if I don't get out o' here pretty soon
My head's going to explode
Sure I like country music
And I like mandolins
But right now I need a Telecaster
Through a Vibrolux turned up to 10
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby
Ahw ... Memphis in the meantime girl
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby
Memphis in the meantime girl
I need a little shot of that rhythm baby
Mixed up with these country blues
I wanna trade in these ol' cowboy boots
For some fine Italian shoes
Forget the mousse and the hairspray sugar
We don't need none of that
Just a little dab'll do ya girl
Underneath a pork pie hat
Until hell freezes over
Maybe you can wait that long
But I don't think Ronnie Milsap's gonna ever
Record this song
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime girl
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime girl
Maybe there's nothin' happenin' there
But maybe there's somethin' in the aiiirrrrr
Before our upper lips get stiff
Maybe we need us a big ol' whiff...
If we could just get off-a that beat little girl
Maybe we could find the groove
At least we can get ourselves a decent meal
Down at the Rendezvous
'Cause one more heartfelt steel guitar chord
Girl, it's gonna do me in
I need to hear some trumpet and saxophone
You know sound as sweet as sin
And after we get good and greasy
Baby we can come on home
Put the cow horns back on the Cadillac
And change the message on the Cordaphone
But...
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime girl
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime girl
I'm a talking about Mem---phis
I'm talkin' 'bout Mem---phis

One Hundred Miles To Liverpool
One Hundred Miles To Liverpool
Composer(s): Alan Hull
Performer(s): Lindisfarne
Sue and Annie wrote me
they're coming down to quote me
know every word to every song
Rod N' Ray are talking, the radio is squawking
me I'm wondering what the hell went wrong
Chorus:
100 miles more to Liverpool, 100 more miles to go
been down this road in sunshine and in snow
and it don't get any shorter
and the water under the bridge has got to flow, oh no
Funny how a mile can go on forever
funny how a day can be an age
funny how a smile can face the stormy weather
funny how a house can be a cage
Chorus:
100 miles more to Liverpool, 100 more miles to go
been down this road in sunshine and in snow
and it don't get any shorter
and the water under the bridge has got to flow
John and Paul are sleeping, a streetcleaner is sweeping
the moon is on his own no place to go
Me, I'm cracking jokes in the bar with all the blokes
toasting the end of another show
Chorus:
But in my dreams I see Liverpool in lights
dancing in the streets 'til the early morning light
The tug boat on the Mersey joining in the Jamboree
well a man must have his dreams
even though his dreams might never come to be
Chorus:
100 miles more to Liverpool, 100 more miles to go
been down this road in sunshine and in snow
and it don't get any shorter
and the water under the bridge has got to
Chorus:
100 miles more to Liverpool, 100 more miles to go
been down this road in sunshine and in snow
and it don't get any shorter
and the water under the bridge has got to flow
