Good Morning, Good Morning


Good Morning, Good Morning
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
Performer(s): The Beatles;
and various other artists



Nothing to do to save his life call his wife in
Nothing to say but what a day how's your boy been
Nothing to do it's up to you
I've got nothing to say but it's OK

Going to work don't want to go feeling low down
Heading for home you start to roam then you're in town
Everybody knows there's nothing doing
Everything is closed it's like a ruin
Everyone you see is half asleep
And you're on your own you're in the street

After a while you start to smile now you feel cool
Then you decide to take a walk by the old school
Nothing has changed it's still the same
I've got nothing to say but it's OK

People running round it's five o'clock
Everywhere in town is getting dark
Everyone you see is full of life
It's time for tea and meet the wife

Somebody needs to know the time, glad that I'm here
Watching the skirts you start to flirt now you're in gear
Go to a show you hope she goes
I've got nothing to say but it's OK

Good morning, morning, oh hoo!

Christmas Together


Christmas Together
Performer(s): Walter Brennan



(That's why we're all together)
(That's why there's Christmas Day)

Christmas time in our family
Hasn't changed at all
We even start lookin' forward to it
Way back in the Fall

'Cause if'n the good Lord's a-willin'
I don't care how bad the weather
Christmas is the one time o' year
We all spend together

Now Ma starts a-bakin'
I set out to find a tree
It seems like that's the one job
That's always left to me

Then, when they all start arrivin'
You can just feel the spirit mount
Ev'ry year there's a few more grand-young'uns
Heh-heh, I give up tryin' to count

Christmas Eve, after supper
We all help trim the tree
Then all the kiddies gather 'round
There's a couple on my knee

And Grandma smiles from her rockin' chair
She knows I'm in my glory
Then ev'ryone wants to hear
My fav'rite Christmas story

How angels sang of a Christ child
The news spread near and far
The three wise men who came to see
Were guided by a star

They found him there in a manger
Asleep on a bed of hay
That's why we're all together
That's why there's a Christmas Day

By this time their little heads would start to nod
And off to bed they'd go
Hopin' Santa wouldn't have no trouble
A-gettin' through the snow

An' then they'd have us up at the crack o' dawn
We'd gather 'round the tree, heh-heh
Yeah, I'd get the usual pair o' socks
That Grandma knits for me

No, Christmas in our family
Hasn't changed at all
When we sit down to dinner
We offer thanks for all

'Cause if the good Lord's willin'
I don't care how bad the weather
Christmas Day's the one time o' the year
We always spend together

My Dearest Dear


My Dearest Dear
Composer(s): Ivor Novello; Christopher Hassall
Performer(s): Mary Ellis
and various other artists



My dearest dear
If I could say to you
In words as clear
As when I play to you
You'd understand
How slight the shadow that is holding us apart
So take my hand
I'll lead the way for you
A little waiting and you'll reach my heart

Your lonely hours will spread their wings and fly
The passing show'rs will only pass you by
If you can trust me, trust the secret in my song
When love is true
The road is never long

My dearest dear
If I could say to you
In words as clear
As when I play to you
You'd understand
How slight the shadow that is holding us apart
So take my hand
I'll lead the way for you
A little waiting and you'll reach my heart

Tea And Sympathy


Tea And Sympathy
((Dutch Version: Voor Nu En Altijd (Conny Vandenbos) - 1980))
Composer(s): Janis Ian
First release by: Janis Ian - 1975



I don't want to ride
The milk train anymore
I'll go to bed at nine
And waken with the dawn
Have lunch at half passed noon
Dinner prompt at five
The comfort of a few old friends
Long passed their prime

Pass the tea and sympathy
For the good ol' days long gone
Let's drink a toast to those who most
Believe in what they want
It's a long, long time 'til mornin'
Lays wasted on the dawn
I'll not write another line
For my true love is gone

When the guest have done
I'll tidy up the room
I'll turn the covers down
And gazing at the moon
I'll pray to go quite mad
And live in long ago
Where you and I were once
So very long ago

Pass the tea and sympathy
For the good ole'days long gone
Let's drink a toast
To those who most
Believe in what they want
It's a long, long time 'til morning
Lays wasted on the dawn
I'll not write another line
For my true love is gone

When I have no dreams
To give you anymore
I'll lite a blazing fire
And wait within the door
And throw my life away
"I wonder why?", they all will say
Now I lay me down to sleep
Forever and a day

Pass the tea and sympathy
For the good ol' days are dead
Let's drink a toast to those who best
surrvived the life they've led
It's a long, long time 'til mornin'
So build your fires high
Now I lay me down to sleep
Forever by your side

Voor Nu En Altijd


Voor Nu En Altijd
((Adapted from: Tea And Sympathy (Janis Ian) - 1975))
Composer(s): Janis Ian - Dingeman Vochteloo
Performer(s): Conny Vandenbos - 1980



Ik wil deze nacht niet laat naar bed toe gaan
En als de morgen komt, hoef ik niet op te staan
Ik lunch nog wel op tijd, en hoor om kwart voor vier
De goedbedoelde troost van m'n vriendinnen aan

"Wil je thee of drink je mee op die goeie ouwe tijd
Kom, hef het glas en drink op wat je vroeger hebt bereikt"
't Was stil vandaag en morgen zal net zo somber zijn
Ik wil morgen overslaan, want lief, ik ben je kwijt

Als de gasten gaan, dan sluit ik 't gordijn
Ik laat de glazen staan, om niet alleen te zijn
Want weet je, lieve God, wanneer U echt bestaat
Brengt U mij m'n lief terug, voor ik slapen ga

"Wil je thee of drink je mee op die goeie ouwe tijd
Kom, hef het glas en drink op wat je vroeger hebt bereikt"
't Was stil vandaag en morgen zal net zo somber zijn
Ik wil morgen overslaan, want lief, ik ben je kwijt

Als er op een dag geen dromen zouden zijn
Waar ik op slapen kan, ondanks de felle pijn
Dan geef ik alles weg, ik vraag me af of men begrijpt
Dat ik weer bij jou zou zijn, voor nu en voor altijd

"Wil je thee of drink je mee op die goeie ouwe tijd
Kom, hef het glas en drink op wat ik eind'lijk heb bereikt"
't Was stil vandaag maar morgen zal niet zo somber zijn
Ik weet dat ik bij je ben, voor nu en voor altijd

My Days Are Numbered


My Days Are Numbered
Composer(s): Al Kooper
Performer(s): Blood, Sweat, & Tears; Magic Mixture



I woke up and found
No one beside me
No hand to hold onto
and no lips to guide me
what a hard world to face
in the light of an angry sun
ain't it hard to get on
if you ain't got that someone

And it seems that my days are numbered down to a precious few
People I know that
My days are numbered
'cause I can't get it back together without you

I see the heaven moonlight
see it drippin' down my window
flowing like a river
through the tears that I have cried
I gotta find myself, hey
a reason to go on living
but you can't breathe life into somethin'
that's already died

And it seems that my days are numbered down to a precious few
People I know that
My days are numbered
'cause I can't get it back together without you

And it seems that my days are numbered down to a precious few
People I know that
My days are numbered
'cause I can't get it back together without you

Hey Hey
I got ta tell you right now
Every morning ...

Te Voy A Echar Al Olvido


Te Voy A Echar Al Olvido
Composer(s): Roberto Livi - Alejandro Vezzani
Performer(s): Raphael



Te voy a echar al olvido
No quiero volver a verte
De tanto sufrir contigo
Ya no sé lo que es quererte
No voy a pasar la vida
Quejándome de mi suerte
Mi suerte cambió contigo
Lo malo fue conocerte
Mi suerte cambió contigo
Lo malo fue conocerte
Te voy a echar al olvido
Y juro que es para siempre
Si tú nunca me has querido
No tengo porqué quererte
Te voy a echar al olvido
Y juro que es para siempre
Si tú nunca me has querido
No tengo porqué quererte
Te voy a echar al olvido
Sin llanto ni despedida
Sin nada que me recuerde
La tristeza de mi vida
Te voy a echar al olvido
Antes de que sea muy tarde
Y pida que no te vayas
Llorando como un cobarde
Y pida que no te vayas
Llorando como un cobarde

Good Morning Judge


Good Morning Judge
Composer(s): Graham Gouldman; Eric Stewart
Performer(s): 10 cc



Well
good morning Judge
how are you today?
I'm in trouble please put me away
a pretty thing took a shine to me
I couldn't stop her so I let it be (4x)

He didn't do it
he wasn't there

he didn't want it
he wouldn't dare
Well good morning Judge
yes I'm back again

I'm in trouble so it's back to the pen

I found a car but I couldn't pay
I fell in love and I drove it away (4x)

He didn't do it
he wasn't there

he didn't want it
he wouldn't dare
I didn't do it
I wasn't there
I didn't want it
I wouldn't dare

Alcatraz is like a home sweet home
I'm so wanted and I'm never alone
San Quentin is the place to be
I'm so happy and I don't want to be free

So happy I don't want to be free
So happy I don't want to be free
So happy I don't want to be free

Good Morning Heartache


Good Morning Heartache Composer(s): Irene Higginbotham; Ervin Drake; Dan Fisher First recording by: Billie Holiday - 1946 Covered by multiple other artists



Good morning heartache
You old gloomy sight
Good morning heartache
Thought we said goodbye last night
I turned and tossed until it seems you heve gone
But here you are with the dawn
Wish I forget you, but you're here to stay
It seems I met you
When my love went away
Now everyday I stop I'm saying to you
Good morning heartache what's new

Stop haunting me now
Can't shake you nohow
Just leave me alone
I've got those Monday blues
Straight to Sunday blues
Good morning heartache
Here we go again
Good morning heartache
You're the one
Who knows me well
Might as well get use to you hanging around
Good morning heartache
Sit down

My Daddy's Eyes


My Daddy's Eyes
Performer(s): Smiley Bates



With unpredicted certainty
The doctors compromised
If the little girl could hope to have
Her sight she'd been deprived

But with the touch of God's great hand
And prayer's her mommy prayed
Her unforseen world opened wide
The doctors heard her say

Before my daddy passed away
He willed his eyes to me
His only soul possession left
To give that I might see

Though I miss my daddy so
I often sit and cry
But grateful I may view the world
Through my daddy's eyes

The shades of darkness cast away
From site of daddy's eyes
I feel like I have angel wings
In a world of paradise

To view the world through daddy's eyes
It seems unreal to me
For I was raised from child birth
With eyes that could not see

My mommy tells how happy
Her and daddy use to be
And how they prayed to God above
That one day I might see

Their prayer's may now be answered
Though I wonder why
The Lord would take my daddy's life
To leave me daddy's eyes

Before my daddy passed away
He willed his eyes to me
His only soul possession left
To give that I might see

Though I miss my daddy so
I often sit and cry
But grateful I may view the world
Through my daddy's eyes

Good morning world, it's a brand new day
I'm packin' my bags and I'm getting away
I'm movin' my legs and my city type bones
I gotta get away from the busy man's phones

Down in Malabu where the livin' is so wild and free
If you wanna get happy then people come along with me
A-bee-bow-bow-buppa-bow-bow-bow

A-move over boys, save a place for me
I'm gettin' so tired of the company
I'm gettin' black looks from the big white man
Gotta get away just as fast as I can

Down in Malabu where the livin' is so wild and free
If you wanna get happy then people come along with me
A-bee-bow-bow-buppa-bow-bow-bow

Good morning freedom
I gotta break away
Gotta break away
Gotta break away
Yeah, yeah

Good morning freedom
It's another day
It's another day
It's another day
Yeah, yeah
Good morning freedom

Yeah

A-bee-bow-bow-b-b-buppa-bow

All over the world it's the same old game
Official type livin' is the thing to blame
A-lovin' thy neighbour is a real live thing
There's only one way to get the people to sing

Down in Malabu where the livin' is so wild and free
If you wanna get happy then people come along with me
A-bee-bow-bow-buppa-bow-bow-bow

A-bee-bow-bow-bow-b-b-buppa-bow
A-bee-bow-bow-bow-buppa-b-bow-bow
Buppa-b-bow-bow

Antes, mucho antes de enamorarte
Mucho antes de encadenarte
Te voy a contar mi vida
Ahora con la aurora de este romance
Al principio de nuestro idilio

Los juzgues serenamente
Ahora que estás a tiempo
Para que me quieras como soy
Para que me quieras con delirio
Quiero que te enteres de mi vida
De mi mundo, de mis ansias, de mi fe
Antes, mucho antes de enamorarte
Mucho antes de encadenarte

Quiero que te enteres de mis defectos
Y los juzgues serenamente
Ahora que estás a tiempo
Para que me quieras como soy
Para que me quieras con delirio
Quiero que te enteres de mi vida
De mi mundo, de mis ansias, de mi fe

Mucho antes de encadenarte

Quiero que te enteres de mis defectos
Y los juzgues serenamente
Ahora que estás a tiempo
Ahora que estás a tiempo
Te voy a contar mi vida
