Goodbye Joe


Goodbye Joe
Composer(s): Laura Nyro
Performer(s): Laura Nyro; Carmen McRae



We were lost in the fair on the highland, goodbye, Joe
with the sky and the deer on the highland, goodbye, Joe
Time is full of changes and now you've got to go
Don't forget that we loved on the highland, goodbye, Joe

Goodbye, Joe, yes, I understand, I'm trying not to cry
but if I do, it's only cause I'll miss you, one more time, let me kiss you

I remember when you came calling, goodbye, Joe
like a sunrise that rose without warning, goodbye, Joe
Time is full of changes and now you've got to go
And we walked on a Manhattan morning, goodbye Joe

Goodbye, Joe, yes, I understand, I'm trying not to cry
but if I do, it's only cause I'll miss you, one more time, let me kiss you
Goodbye, Joe, goodbye, Joe, time is full of changes, Joe, and now you've got to go
Don't forget that we loved on the highland, goodbye, Joe, goodbye, Joe…

Teenage Heart


Teenage Heart
Performer(s): Conway Twitty



I've got a Teenage Heart
Now that we are apart
Though we're just seventeen
Somehow we seem much older

I don't know where to start
I guess I play the part of
Every teenage boy whose lost
His real true love

And to our senior friends
We were like all of them
But now that we're apart
They call us Teenage Heart
They call us Teenage Heart

I've got a Teenage Heart
Now that we are apart
Only you come back to me
And our love will be much older
And our love will be much older
And our love will be much older

I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day
When it's cold outside
I've got the month of May

Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl
(My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl
(My girl)

I've got so much honey
The bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song
Than the birds in the trees

Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl
(My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl
(My girl)

Ooooh
Hoooo

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

I don't need no money
Fortune or fame
I've got all the riches, baby
One man can claim

Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl
(My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl
(My girl)

Talkin' bout my girl
I've got sushine on cloudy day
With my girl
I've even got the month of May
With my girl

Talkin' bout, talkin' bout my girl ...

Goodbye Girl


Goodbye Girl
Composer(s): David Gates
Performer(s): David Gates; Hootie & The Blowfish;
Martin Nievera; Eric Shea



All your life you've waited
for love to come and stay
and now that I have found you
you must not slip away
I know its hard believing
the words you've heard before
but darling you must trust them this once more
Because baby, goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell ya goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again
If you wake up and I'm not there I won't be long away
'cause the things you do my goodbye girl
will bring me back to you
I know you've been taken
afraid to hurt again
You fight the love you feel for me
instead of giving in
Well, I can wait forever
for helping to see
that I was meant for you
and you for me
So remember goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell ya goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again
Though we maybe so far apart, you still would have my heart
So forget your past, my goodbye girl 'cause now your home at last

My Girl (Eric Carmen)


My Girl
Composer(s): Eric Carmen
Performer(s): Eric Carmen



Sometimes it's hard to know
What your heart is feelin'
And harder still to put it into words
Love is simple, you can't define it
It's not the words but the thought
Behind it that counts

My girl
She's everything a lover could possibly be
My girl
Makes love the way I always dreamed it would be

Deep down inside I know
What I should be saying
But every time I try, it comes out wrong
Well our love is a love forever
And when we're all alone together
She shows me

My girl
She's everything a lover could possibly be
My girl
Makes love the way I always dreamed it would be

I'd need a lifetime
To show her all the love I have to give
And hold her in my heart
For as long as I live
(We'll stick together
Like the moon and the night-time
Happy forever I could spend my lifetime)
So in love with

My girl
She's everything a lover could possibly be
My girl
Makes love the way I always dreamed it would be

Goodbye France


Goodbye France
Composer(s): Irving Berlin



I can picture the boys 'over there'
Making plenty of noise 'over there'
And if I'm not wrong
It won't be long
Ere a certain song will fill the air
It's all very clear
The time's drawing near
When they'll be marching down to the pier, singing:

Goodbye France
We'd love to linger longer but we must go home
Folks are waiting to welcome us across the foam
We were glad to stand side by side with you
Mighty proud to have died with you
So goodbye France
You'll never be forgotten by the U.S.A.

They are waiting for one happy day
When the word comes to start on their way
With a tear-dimmed eye
They'll say goodbye
But their hearts will cry, Hip-hip hooray
The friends that they made
Will wish that they stayed
As they start on their homeward parade, singing

Goodbye France
We'd love to linger longer but we must go home
Folks are waiting to welcome us across the foam
We were glad to stand side by side with you
Mighty proud to have died with you
So goodbye France
You'll never be forgotten by the U.S.A.

Teenage Crush


Teenage Crush
Composer(s): Audrey Allison - Joe Allison
Performer(s): Tommy Sands



They call it a teenage crush
They don't know how I feel
They call it a teenage crush
They can't believe this is real

They've forgotten when they were young
And the way tried to be free
All they say is "This young generation
Is just not the way it used to be"

I know that I know my own heart
But you say I'm trying to rush
Please, don't try to keep us apart
Don't call it a teenage crush

They've forgotten when they were young
And the way tried to be free
All they say is "This young generation
Is just not the way it used to be"

I know that I know my own heart
But you say I'm trying to rush
Please, don't try to keep us apart
Don't call it a teenage crush

Performer(s): Jacqueline Taïeb
(Originally performed by: The Who)



Il est sept heures du matin
Faut s'réveiller
Haaaaaaaan, j'ai sommeil
Alors un peu d'musique pour se mettre en train, chais pas moi
Quelque chose comme
Talkin' 'bout my ch-ch-generation
Ouais c'est pas tout à fait ça
J'trouve plus ma brosse-à-dents
Où elle passée celle-là encore?
Euh, la bleue est à mon père
La rouge est à ma mère
La jaune est à mon frère
Z'avez pas vu ma… brosse-à-dents?

Tiens on est lundi aujourd'hui
Ah, pour demain j'ai un d'voir d'anglais
Mmmmmmmm, j'aimerais bien avoir Paul McCartney
Pour m'aider

J'ai envie d'mettre un disque pour embêter les voisins qui roupillent toute la journée
Euh, quelque chose comme un bon Elvis Presley
Ah, mais c'est vrai celui-là il en est resté à
Olobopalluba alopempom wa

Un peu d'eau sur la figure pour me réveiller
Le dodo… c'est terminé
Je suis presque prête et ça va beaucoup mieux
Euh, je mets mon shetland rouge ou bien mon shetland bleu?

Mon shetland rouge?
Mon shetland bleu?
Mon shetland bleu!
Euh, mon shetland rouge
Oh mon shetland bleu
Mon shetland rouge
Euh le bleu…
Le bleu… le rouge
Mon shetland rouge…

Teen Angel


Teen Angel
Composer(s): Jean Surrey - Red Surrey
First release by: Mark Dinning



Teen angel, teen angel, teen angel, ooh, ooh

That fateful night the car was stalled upon the railroad track
I pulled you out and we were safe, but you went running back

Teen angel, can you hear me?
Teen angel, can you see me?
Are you somewhere up above
And I am still your own true love?

What was it you were looking for that took your life that night?
They said they found my high school ring clutched in your fingers tight

Teen angel, can you hear me?
Teen angel, can you see me?
Are you somewhere up above
And I am still your own true love?

Just sweet sixteen, and now you're gone
They've taken you away
I'll never kiss your lips again
They buried you today

Teen angel, can you hear me?
Teen angel, can you see me?
Are you somewhere up above
And I am still your own true love?

Teen angel, teen angel, answer me, please

Goodbye Dixie Lee


Goodbye Dixie Lee
Composer(s): Robert Levenson; G. Vernon Strout



Dixie Lee the time has come to say goodbye
Dixie Lee now brush that tear drop from your eye
Tho' I'll leave you far behind
you'll be always in my mind
and some day I'll come back, so don't you cry

When the roses start a blooming in the spring
that is when I'll be returning with the ring
on that bright and happy day I will kiss your tears away
and never once again, dear, will I say

Goodbye Dixie, my Dixie Lee keep a place in your heart for me
When I'm there way over the foam, I'll dream of you and home
Some day when the sun shines again
we'll be as happy as can be
let's hope and pray until that day
so goodbye Dixie Lee

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

Goodbye Columbus


Goodbye Columbus

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
