Teddy Bear Song
Teddy Bear Song
Composer(s): Don Earl - Nick Nixon
Performer(s): Barbara Fairchild
I wish I had button eyes and a red felt nose
A shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes
Sittin' on a shelf in a local department store
With no dreams to dream and nothin' to be sorry for
I wish I was a teddy bear
Not livin' or lovin' nor goin' nowhere
I wish I was a teddy bear
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind
Then your mem'ry wouldn't come around hurtin' all the time
I'd have a sewed-on smile and a painted twinkle in my eye
And I never would have ever had to learn how to cry
I wish I was a teddy bear
Not livin' or lovin' nor goin' nowhere
I wish I was a teddy bear
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
I wish I had a string you could pull to make me say
"Hi, I'm Teddy-ain't it a lovely day?"
Then I'd know every time I spoke the words were right
And none would know the mess I made of my life
I wish I was a teddy bear
Not livin' or lovin' nor goin' nowhere
I wish I was a teddy bear
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you

My Gee Gee From The Fiji Islands
My Gee Gee From The Fiji Islands
Composer(s): Lew Brown; Albert Von Tilzer
Hiram Perkin, got tired of workin' on the farm each day
So he wandered down to see the circus in the town
Saw the animals, and the cannibals when they came on view
Then he flirted with a wild wild woman
and they got real friendly too
When Hiram got back home, the folks all gathered by his side
They said, "Where were you what did you see?" and Hiram replied
Hiram giggled each time she wiggled he was gone for fair
Followed her around until the circus left the town
Told the friends he knew he was going to sell his farm next day
They thought he was going crazy so they called the doctor right away
The doctor felt his head and said
There's something wrong inside
I can't diag'nose it what can it be?" and Hiram replied
Oh! Gee! say gee, you ought to see my Gee Gee
From the Fiji Isle
Gosh Gee, say Gee, you ought to be with Gee Gee
She can make you smile
Rings inside the nose
Bells upon her toes
And I'm here to tell you that she's some high kicker
Her kick is like the kick in home made liquor
She's got a lingo as funny as By Jingo, you know what I mean
And she does a twister, much better than her sister, silly Chili Bean
Over here, over there, she's a little but bare
So she wears a lot of leaves to protect her from the air
Oh! Gee, say gee, you ought to see my Gee Gee
From the Fiji Isle

Goodbye Cruel World
Goodbye Cruel World
Composer(s): Gloria Shayne
Performer(s): James Darren; Bobby Vee
Oh, goodbye cruel world, I'm off to join the circus
Gonna be a broken-hearted clown
Paint my face with a good-for-nothin' smile
'cause a mean, fickle woman turned my whole world upside down
(Goodbye cruel world)
Farewell to love, I'm off to join the circus
Gotta find a way to hide my tears
Bet I'll have them rolling in the aisle
And I'll forget that woman if it takes a hundred years
Oh oh oh, step right up and take a look at a fool
He's got a heart as stubborn as a mule
C'mon everybody, he's good for a laugh
And no one could tell his heart is broken in half
Well, the joke's on me, I'm off to join the circus
Oh, Mr. Barnum, save a place for me
Shoot me out of a cannon, I don't care
Let the people point at me and stare
I'll tell the world that woman, wherever she may be
That mean, fickle woman made a cryin' clown outta me
(Goodbye cruel world)
Shoot me out of a cannon, I don't care
Let the people point at me and stare
I'll tell the world that woman, wherever she may be
That mean, fickle woman made a cryin' clown outta me

My Garden Of Love
My Garden Of Love
Composer(s): Benny Hill
Performer(s): Benny Hill
The sun and the rain fell from up above
And landed on the earth below
In my garden of love
Now there’s a rose for the way my spirits rose when we met
A forget-me-not to remind me to remember not to forget
A pine tree for the way I pined over you
And an ash for the day I ashed you to be true
And the sun and the rain fell from up above
And landed on the earth below
In my garden of love
Now there’s a palm tree that we planted when we had our first date
A turnip for the way you always used to turnip late
Your mother and your cousin, Chris, they often used to come
So, in their honour, I have raised a nice chris-an’-the-mum
And the sun and the rain fell from up above
And landed on the earth below
In my garden of love
Now there’s a beetroot for the day you said that you’d beetroot to me
A sweet pea for the sweet way you always smiled at me
But you had friends who needed you
There was Ferdy, there was Liza
So, just for them, I put down a load of ferdy-liza
And the sun and the rain fell from up above
And landed on the earth below
In my garden of love
But Gus the gardener’s left now and you went with him, too
The fungus there reminds me of the fun Gus is having with you
Now the rockery’s a mockery, with weeds it’s overgrown
The fuchsia’s gone, I couldn’t face the fuchsia all alone
And my tears fell like raindrops from the sky above
And poisoned all the flowers in my garden of love

Performer(s): The Association;
George Benson; The Lounge-O-Leers
Got to say hello
It's a lucky day
Kiss the moon goodbye
And be on our way
It's a lucky day 'cause I found you
Gonna build a new world around you
Touch the sun and run
It's a lucky day
Hello life
Goodbye Columbus
I've got a feeling
that you're gonna hear from us
You're gonna know
That we've taken the world by surprise
Got that look in our eyes
It's a lucky day
Just for changin'
Leavin' the old world behind
Lucky day for walkin' a new road
Just to clear your mind
It's a day for startin' a new way
Tellin' the old one goodbye
Lucky day for gettin' above it
Spread your wings and fly
Hello life
Goodbye Columbus
I've got a feeling
that you're gonna hear from us
You're gonna know
That we've taken the world by surprise
Got that look in our eyes
It's a lucky day
Goodbye, goodbye Columbus
Goodbye, goodbye Columbus

Tecumseh Valley
Tecumseh Valley
Composer(s): Townes Van Zandt
First release by: Townes Van Zandt - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
The name she gave was Caroline
daughter of a miner
her ways were free
it seemed to me
that sunshine walked beside her
She came from Spencer
across the hill
she said her pa had sent her
'cause the coal was low
and soon the snow
would turn the skies to winter
She said she'd come
to look for work
she was not seeking favors
and for a dime a day
and a place to stay
she'd turn those hands to labor
But the times were hard, Lord
the jobs were few
all through Tecumseh valley
but she asked around
and a job she found
tending bar at Gypsy Sally's
She saved enough to get back home
when spring replaced the winter
but her dreams were denied
her pa had died
the word come down from Spencer
So she turned to whorin' out on the streets
with all the lust inside her
and it was many a man
returned again
to lay himself beside her
They found her down beneath the stairs
that led to Gypsy Sally's
in her hand when she died
was a note that cried
fare thee well... Tecumseh valley
The name she gave was Caroline
daughter of a miner
her ways were free
it seemed to me
that sunshine walked beside her

My Funny Valentine
My Funny Valentine
Dutch Title: Mijn Kleine Valentijn
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Lorenz Hart
Originally performed by: Mitzi Green
Covered by various other artists
Behold the way our fine feathered friend
His virtue doth parade
Thou knowest not, my dim-witted friend
The picture thou hast made
Thy vacant brow, and thy tousled hair
Conceal thy good intent
Thou noble upright truthful sincere
And slightly dopey gent, you are...
My funny valentine, sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable, un-photographable
Yet, you're my favorite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But, don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine, stay
Each day is Valentine's Day
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But, don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine, stay
Each day is Valentine's Day

Goodbye California
Goodbye California
Composer(s): Nicolas Peyrac
Performer(s): Nicolas Peyrac
Goodbye California je t'aimais bien il me semble
Mais y'a longtemps
Que j'ai redécouvert Paris
Goodbye California ne m'en veux pas s'il me semble
Que chez moi
C'est plus ici qu'à Beverly
Goodbye California je t'aimais bien mais l'amour
Ca s'en va
Sans qu'on sache vraiment pourquoi
Goodbye California on se reverra un jour
Qui peut dire
Comment demain la vie sera
J'ai un peu marre de ton côté bidon
Le genre maison couleur bonbon
Ne me fais plus faire de bonds
J'ai pourtant vu l'endroit, l'envers
De Malibu et de Bel-Air
Je voudrais bien qu'on oublie les dollars
Qu'on parle moins d'argent que d'espoir
Et qu'on nous dise que les stars
Après tout ne sont pas des Dieux
Presque immortels et jamais vieux
Goodbye California je t'aimais bien il me semble
Mais y'a longtemps
Que j'ai redécouvert Paris
Goodbye California ne m'en veux pas s'il me semble
Que chez moi
C'est plus ici qu'à Beverly
Je voudrais bien qu'on arrête un moment
De dire que musicalement
C'est de chez vous que vient le vent
Le vent, il vient de n'importe où
Et quelquefois c'est de chez nous
Arrêtez de cultiver le Français
Le genre restaurant bien coté
Où l'on ne bouffe qu'à moitié
Tant on a les yeux occupés
Par les stars qui viennent dîner
Goodbye California je t'aimais bien il me semble
Mais y'a longtemps
Que j'ai redécouvert Paris
Goodbye California ne m'en veux pas s'il me semble
Que chez moi
C'est plus ici qu'à Beverly
Et si j'étais un enfant de chez vous
J'aurais du mal à être fou
Le Pacifique c'est pas tout
Moi je connais en Normandie
Des coins où plane la folie
Goodbye California je t'aimais bien il me semble
Mais y'a longtemps
Que j'ai redécouvert Paris
Goodbye California ne m'en veux pas s'il me semble
Que chez moi
C'est plus ici qu'à Beverly
Goodbye California je t'aimais bien mais l'amour
Ca s'en va
Sans qu'on sache vraiment pourquoi
Goodbye California on se reverra un jour
Qui peut dire
Comment demain la vie sera

Techo De Tejas Rojas
Techo De Tejas Rojas
Performer(s): Victor Heredia
Techo de tejas rojas
donde mi juventud
gastó sus viejas botas
desde tu cielo
mirando al sur
Caballo de mis penas
de cal y arena
será tu cruz
Techo de tejas rojas
horizonte de paz
donde la lluvia moja
con gusto a trigo
y a rubio pan
Quiero volar tu alero
cielo primero
junto al pinar
Y desandar volando
toda mi vida y mi ser
aquel vigía lombardo
y en tu horizonte
permanecer
Que mi paloma herida
ya no puede seguir
que se le va la vida
y entre tus tejas quiere morir
Techo de tejas rojas
ardiente rosa
del cielo azul
Cobíjame en tu alero
fiel compañero
bajo tu luz

My Front Door Is Open
Composer(s): Hank Thompson
Performer(s): Hank Thompson
My front door is open for someone like you
Won't you come in for a while
My front door is open for someone like you
Gee!, but I like your smile
So come on in then, let's get well acquainted
I'll bet that you'll like me too
And the two of us won't ever fuss, so everything's all right
My front door is open for you
My front door is open for someone like you
But it's been closed a long, long time
I've sat at home, my telephone don't ring anymore
I seldom see that ol' sunhine
Although I haven't got a lot to offer
I've got a heart that's true
It's plain to see that you and me could get along just fine
My front door is open for you

Technique
Technique
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Pat Boone
You love 'em you leave 'em
That's what is known as technique technique
The more you deceive 'em the more they like your technique
Ah they have de feminine mind
which is something like being colour blind
Ah we keep 'em guessing and that is how
we out manoeuvre womankind
Ohhhh the womenfolk their back is broad
de brain is weak
So they pigeon for de bachelor's technique
Strong-arm them cave-man them
they're unimpressed with the male physique
The more you deadpan 'em
the more they like your technique
Some like the arrogant stare
others like the shy retiring air
While there are others who like you best of all
when you ain't even there
Ohhhh.. de woman folk their face is fair
their brain is weak
Sooooo..h they pigeon for the bachelor's technique
But to make them jump thru the ring
or to keep them dangling on a string
You find out what they want you to do
and you do the opposite thing
The less you caress them
they more they turn the other cheek
The more you outguess them
the more they like your technique
So just remember what I have told you
and always keep it in mind
We keep 'em guessing and that is how
we out manoeuvre womankind
(I repeat now)
Keep 'em guessing and that is how
we out manoeuvre womankind (repeat)

Composer(s): Alec R. Costandinos; Stelios Vlavianos
Performer(s): Demis Roussos;
Roberto Delgado; Francisco Garcia
My friend the wind will come from the hills
When dawn will rise, he'll wake me again
My friend the wind will tell me a secret
He shares with me, he shares with me
My friend the wind will come from the north
With words of love, she whispered for me
My friend the wind will say she loves me
And me alone, and me alone
I'll hear her voice and the words
That he brings from Helenimou
Sweet as a kiss are the songs of Aghapimou
Soft as the dew is the touch of Manoulamou
Oh oh oh
We'll share a dream where I'm never away from Helenimou
Blue are the days like the eyes of Aghapimou
Far from the world will I live with Manoulamou
Oh oh oh
My friend the wind go back to the hills
And tell my love a day will soon come
Oh friendly wind you tell a secret
You know so well, oh you know so well
I'll hear her voice and the words
That he brings from Helenimou
Sweet as a kiss are the songs of Aghapimou
Soft as the dew is the touch of Manoulamou
Oh oh oh
La la la .... Helenimou
La la la .... Aghapimou
La la la .... Manoulamou

Composer(s): Wes Farrell; Bert Russell
Performer(s): Van Morrison; Solomon Burke
Goodbye baby, so long girl
I know you ain't gonna like it
But I'm stepping right out in your world
For I'm coming to your party
And I won't be able to stay
But I'm gonna kiss you one more time, lord
Then I'm going away
Goodbye baby hmm, baby goodbye hmm
You may be lonely, yeah, you may be hurt
Like a fool I gave you candy
You turned around and treated me like dirt
But still I'm gonna come to your party
And just before the break of day
I'm gonna touch you one more time, lord
Then I'm going away
Sing it to me again
Goodbye baby hmm ha, baby goodbye
Look out, what you see?
I see a train a-coming
A train a-coming down the long lonesome track
I'll tell you, girl, I gotta go on home now
But deep down in your heart
You know that someday I'm, I'm coming back
And I'm gonna look for you at your party
cause all the time I know that I'll find you there
And listen, I'm gonna dance with you
One more time, oh yeah
Sing it to me tonight now
Goodbye baby, sing it sweet baby goodbye
Lord, you're singing so sweet tonight goodbye baby
Goodbye baby baby baby baby goodbye
I'll see you around sometime, lord goodbye baby...

Teasin'
Teasin'
Composer(s): Richard Adler - Philip Springer
Performer(s): Petula Clark
Mummy told me she would scold me
if a boy I kissed
But I can't resist teasin'
Always gets `em, it upsets `em
But what can I do
`cause it's all so new, teasin'
Now the good book says that nothing repays
The harm a life of sin does
But I must confide, we can't decide
Till we find what it is that Errol Flynn does
Mummy told me she would scold me
if a boy I kissed
But I can't resist teasin'
At the riding school, the teacher was cool
And he seemed a harmless person
But after the ride he took me aside
And was I glad I kept my spurs on
Always gets `em, it upsets `em
But what can I do
`cause it's all so new, teasin'
There's a boy I like who likes to hike
But in no uncertain language
I refused to stop when he said he'd drop
If he didn't have a nibble at my corned beef sandwich
Mummy told me she would scold me
if a boy I kissed
But I can't resist teasin'
Now it's love that makes this world go round
`cause we all love hanky-panky (Do ya)
Keep one eye on an Englishman
But you'd better keep two on a gosh-darned Yankee
Always gets `em, it upsets `em
But when day is done
Where's the bloomin' fun
In teasin'
On a moonlight night
When the stars shine bright
Somehow Mama don't seem so right
`cause, faith, it's all so pleasin'

My Friend The Sea
My Friend The Sea
Composer(s): Jack Fishman; Ron Goodwin
Performer(s): Petula Clark
Oh, you great ocean so deep
Oh, you ocean so wide
I feel you are my friend
So in you I confide
You know the world
Every land, every shore
There's not a place
You don't explore
Send every wave
As it rolls on it's way
Searchin' high, searchin' low
Searchin' each little bay
Send out a plea to the
Whole of seven seas
Where is the one I adore
My friend, the sea
Be true to me
My love, one day
Sailed far away
My friend, the sea
Please ask the tide
To bring my love
Home to my side
Oh, you great ocean so deep
Oh, you ocean so wide
There are hearts you unite
There are hearts you divide
You know the world
Every riddle, mountain, stream
Look every where you've ever been
Ask all the fish as they swim out to sea
Would they pass on the word as a favor to me
Maybe they'll look out some little brook
And find the one I adore
My friend, the sea
Be good to me
My love, one day
Sailed far away
My friend, the sea
Please ask the tide
To bring my love
Home to my side
