The Surrey With The Fringe On Top
The Surrey With The Fringe On Top
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Oscar Hammerstein II
First performance by: Alfred Drake, Joan Roberts and Betty Garde - 1943
Covered by multiple other artists
When I take you out, tonight, with me
Honey, here's the way it's goin' to be
You will set behind a team of snow white horses
In the slickest gig you ever see!
Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry
When I take you out in the surrey
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top!
Watch that fringe and see how it flutters
When I drive them high steppin' strutters
Nosey pokes'll peek thru' their shutters and their eyes will pop!
The wheels are yeller, the upholstery's brown
The dashboard's genuine leather
With isinglass curtains y' can roll right down
In case there's a change in the weather
Two bright sidelight's winkin' and blinkin'
Ain't no finer rig I'm a-thinkin'
You c'n keep your rig if you're thinkin' 'at I'd keer to swap
Fer that shiny, little surrey with the fringe on the top!
Did you say the fringe was made of silk
Wouldn't have no other kind but silk
Does it really have a team of snow white horses
One's like snow, the other's more like milk
All the world'll fly in a flurry
When I take you out in the surrey
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top!
When we hit that road, hell fer leather
Cats and dogs'll dance in the heather
Birds and frogs'll sing all together and the toads will hop!
The wind'll whistle as we rattle along
The cows'll moo in the clover
The river will ripple out a whispered song
And whisper it over and over
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever?
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever?
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever and ud never stop
In that shiny, little surrey with the fringe on the top!
I can see the stars gettin' blurry
When we drive back home in the surrey
Drivin' slowly home in the surrey with the fringe on top!
I can feel the day gettin' older
Feel a sleepy head on my shoulder
Noddin', droopin' close to my shoulder, till it falls kerplop!
The sun is swimmin' on the rim of a hill
The moon is takin' a header
And jist as I'm thinkin' all the earth is still
A lark'll wake up in the medder
Hush, you bird, my baby's a-sleepin'!
Maybe got a dream worth a-keepin'
Whoa! you team, and jist keep a-creepin' at a slow clip clop
Don't you hurry with the surrey with the fringe on the top!

Come Down In Time
Come Down In Time
Composer(s): Bernie Taupin; Elton John
Originally performed by: Elton John
Covered by various other artists
In the quiet silent seconds I turned off the light switch
And I came down to meet you in the half light the moon left
While a cluster of night jars sang some songs out of tune
A mantle of bright light shone down from a room
Come down in time I still hear her say
So clear in my ear like it was today
Come down in time was the message she gave
Come down in time and I'll meet you half way
Well I don't know if I should have heard her as yet
But a true love like hers is a hard love to get
And I've walked most all the way and I ain't heard her call
And I'm getting to thinking if she's coming at all
Come down in time I still hear her say
So clear in my ear like it was today
Come down in time was the message she gave
Come down in time and I'll meet you half way
There are women and women and some hold you tight
While some leave you counting the stars in the night

Rio 42
Rio 42
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
Se a guerra for declarada
Em pleno domingo de carnaval
Verás que um filho não foge à luta
Brasil, recruta
O teu pessoal
Se a terra anda ameaçada
De se acabar numa explosão de sal
Se aliste, meu camarada
A gente vai salvar o nosso carnaval
Vai ter batalha de bombardino
A colombina na Cruz Vermelha
Vai ter centelha na batucada
Rajada de tamborim
A melindrosa mandando bala
O mestre-sala curvando a Europa
A tropa do general da banda
Dançando o samba em Berlim
Se a guerra for declarada
A rapaziada ganha na moral
Se aliste, meu camarada
A gente vai salvar nosso carnaval

Sunshine Of Your Smile
Sunshine Of Your Smile
Composer(s): Larry Ray - Lawrence Cooke
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
Dear face that holds so sweet a smile for me
Were you not mine, how dark this world would be
I know no light above that could replace
Love's radiant sunshine in your lovely face
Give me a smile, the love-light in your eyes
Life could not hold a sweeter paradise
Give me the right to love you all the while
My world forever, the sunshine of your smile
Shadows may fall across the land and sea
Sunshine from all the world may hidden be
But I shall see no clouds across the sun
Your smile shall light my life till life is done
Give me a smile, the love-light in your eyes
Life could not hold a sweeter paradise
Give me the right to love you all the while
My world forever, the sunshine of your smile
My world forever, the sunshine of your smile

Come Dancing
Come Dancing
Composer(s): Ray Davies
Originally performed by: The Kinks
Covered by various other artists
They put a parking lot on a piece of land
Right where the super market used to stand
Before that, they put up a bowling alley
On the site that used to be the local Pali
That's where the big bands used to come and play
My sister went there on a Saturday
Come dancing! All her boyfriends used to come and call
Come dancing! It's only natural........
Another Saturday, another date
She would be ready but she'd always make him wait
In the hallway in anticipation
He didn't know the night would end up in frustration
He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week
All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek
Come dancing! Come on, Sister! Have yourself a ball!
Don't be afraid to come dancing! It's only natural........
My sister should have come in at midnight
And my mom would always sit up and wait
It always ended up in a big row
When my sister used to get home late
Out in the moonlight, I could see them in the darkness
Two silhouettes, saying goodnight by the garden gate
The day they knocked down the Pali
My sister stood and cried
The day they knocked down the Pali
My sister's childhood died.....(just died)
And now I'm grown up and playing in a band
And there's a car lot where the Pali used to stand
My sister's married and she lives on an estate
She's two grown daughters, now it's her turn to wait
She lets them get away with things she never could
But if I asked her, I wonder if she would......
Come dancing! Just like the Pali on a Saturday
Why not come dancing? Where the big bands used to play ........

Rio (Michael Nesmith)
Rio
Composer(s): Michael Nesmith
Performer(s): Michael Nesmith
I'm hearing the light from the window
I'm seeing the sound of the sea
My feet have come loose from their moorings
I'm feeling quite wonderfully free
And I think I will travel to Rio
Using the music for flight
There's nothing I know of in Rio
But it's something to do with the night
It's only a whimsical notion
To fly down to Rio tonight
I probably won't fly down to Rio
But then again I just might
There's wings to the thought behind fancy
There's wings to the thought behind play
And dancing to rhythms of laughter
Makes laughter the rhythm of rain
So I think I will travel to Rio
Using the music for flight
There's nothing I know of in Rio
But it's something to do with the night
It's only a whimsical notion
To fly down to Rio tonight
And I probably won't fly down to Rio
But then again I just might
Spoken:
"This is the first call for Flight 77 to Rio de Janeiro
Now boarding at Gate 17, this is the first call"
I feel such a sense of well-being
The problems have come to be solved
And what I thought was proper for battle
I see now is proper for love
So I think I will travel to Rio
Using the music for flight
There's nothing that I know of in Rio
But it's something to do with the night
It's only a whimsical notion
To fly down to Rio tonight
And I probably won't fly down to Rio
But then again I just might
I think I will travel to Rio
Using the music for flight
There's nothing I know of in Rio
But it's something to do with the night
It's only a whimsical notion
To fly down to Rio tonight
And I probably won't fly down to Rio
But then again I just might
Reno? Why Reno?
Not Reno dummy
Rio, Rio de Janeiro

The Sun Has Got His Hat On
The Sun Has Got His Hat On
Composer(s): Ralph Butler - Noel Gay
Performer(s): Ambrose & His Orch.
The sun has got his hat on, hip-hip-hip-hooray
The sun has got his hat on and he’s coming out today
Now we’ll all be happy, hip-hip-hip-hooray
The sun has got his hat on and he’s coming out today
He’s been tanning niggers out in Timbuktu
Now he’s coming back to do the same to you
So jump into your sunbath, hip-hip-hip-hooray
The sun has got his hat on and he’s coming out today
All the little birds are singing
All the little gnats are stinging
All the little bees in twos and threes
Buzzing in the sun all day
The sun has got his hat on, hip-hip-hip-hooray
All the boys excited
All the little girls delighted
What a lot of fun for everyone
Sitting in the sun all day

Come Dance With Me
Come Dance With Me
Composer(s): Tony Powers; M. Maurer
Performer(s): Jay & the Americans
Don't turn away; put him down, turn around and dance with me
Do like I say, don't you go; tell him no and dance with me
He may have walked you through the door
And he may be planning a whole lot more
But I'm gonna swing you 'round this floor; come dance with me
Look him straight in his eyes, put him wise and come on and dance with me
I'll sit and wait till you do; when you're through, come dance with me
Just 'cause he spent the dime to phone ya
And 20 bucks for the time he's shown ya
That doesn't give him the right to own ya; dance with me
I'm not the kind of guy who'd steal a fella's girl
But baby, your feet I need
And after taking just one look at you
I've turned into an ever-loving deed, aye!
You come into my arms, say goodbye to the guy and dance with me
Leave all your charms in my care, take your dare and dance with me
He may have brought you here, all right
Thinking he'd get to hold you tight
But you're gonna leave with me tonight, come dance with me
He may have brought you here, all right
Thinking he'd get to hold you tight
But you're gonna leave with me tonight, come dance with me
(repeat):
Come dance with me

Ohohoh...
In m'n dromen
Vlieg ik als op vleugels
Door de lucht naar Rio de Janeiro
't Gaat gebeuren
En op slag wordt alles zo plezant
Vol kleuren en vol geuren
Carnaval met jou, wij samen
Tussen duizenden lichamen
Die dansen, als in een trance
Wat zijn we toch gelukkig
Dat we zo goed kunnen dromen allebei
In jouw dromen
Vliegen wij direct naar 't paradijs
In Rio de Janeiro
We zeggen cheerio
En we slapen in het veld
We leven altijd zonder geld
Maar hier van binnen rijk tegelijk
Ohohoh in m'n dromen
Laat ik al het grauwe hier
En ga naar Rio de Janeiro
't Gaat gebeuren
En op slag wordt alles zo plezant
Vol kleuren en vol geuren
En we doen alsof het echt is
Dat de wereld niet zo slecht is
En we dansen, als in een trance
Tussen al die mensen die we maar verzinnen
Maar ze zingen in ons hoofd
Hey Rio
Rio de Janeiro
Ohohoh...
En we doen alsof het echt is
Dat de wereld niet zo slecht is
En we dansen, als in een trance
Tussen al die mensen die we maar verzinnen
Maar ze zingen in ons hoofd
In m'n dromen
Vlieg ik als op vleugels
Door de lucht naar Rio de Janeiro
't Gaat gebeuren
En op slag wordt alles zo plezant
Vol kleuren en vol geuren
Oh in m'n dromen
Vlieg ik als op vleugels
Door de lucht naar Rio de Janeiro
't Gaat gebeuren
En op slag wordt alles zo plezant
Vol kleuren en vol geuren
Oh Rio
Ohohoh Rio

The Sun Gonna Shine In My Door Someday
The Sun Gonna Shine In My Door Someday
Performer(s): Big Bill Broonzy
Just sittin' here hungry and ain't got a dime
Lord, look like my friends would come to see poor me sometime
'Cause it doesn't matter who, Lord of Heaven
Mama, the sun gonna shine in my door someday
When I was in jail, expecting a fine
When I went 'fore the judge, not a friend could I find
'Cause it doesn't matter who, Lord of Heaven
Woman, the sun gonna shine in my door someday
Lord, I lost my father and my brother, too
That's why you hear me singing; Lord, I'm lonesome and blue
'Cause it doesn't matter who, Lord of Heaven
Mama, the sun gonna shine in my door someday
Cried aloud, Lord, Lordy, Lord
Now, I used to be your regular, woman, now I got to be your dog
'Cause it doesn't matter who, Lord of Heaven
Woman, the sun gonna shine in my door someday
Lord, I'm in trouble, no one to pay my fine
Lord, when I get out of this county jail, I'm gonna leave this town of mine
'Cause it doesn't matter who, Lord of Heaven
Mama, the sun gonna shine in my door someday
Lord, I've been droven from door to door
Now, it look like my friends don't want me around no more
'Cause it doesn't matter who, Lord of Heaven
Woman, the sun gonna shine in my door someday
I was with my buddy through thick and thin
Lord, my buddy got away, but I got in
'Cause it doesn't matter who, Lord of Heaven
Mama, the sun gonna shine in my door someday

Come Closer To Me
Composer(s): Osvaldo Farrés; Stewart
Performer(s): Nat King Cole
and various other artists
Moonlight was made for a June night
And June nights were made, dear
for love and romance
For heavenly kisses, for lips sweet and tender
On this night of splendour
You're so far away
Come closer to me so I can see
heaven in your eyes
Come closer to me so I can be
close to Paradise
Thrill me with your kisses
Let me learn what bliss is
Kiss me once and then we'll kiss and kiss again
And life will be divine
Come closer my dear
So I can hear
music in my heart
I've waited so long to hear
the song that youre love will start
Darling I'll adore you
Live my life just for you
All I ask is this
please give me one more kiss
and whisper you'll be mine
Come closer to me ...

Río
Río
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Hoy se que no hay nada imposible
Anoche supe la verdad
Creí a mi alma inservible
Pero era cansancio vulgar, nada más
Tú eres un don de la brisa
Un ser de la resurrección
Un pájaro con una risa
Capaz de arrastrar a la noche hasta el sol
Río, río, río
Río de verdad
Como un animal
Que ha sido puesto en libertad
Río
Me dejo ir en mano alegre, voy previendo
Porque mañana, a lo mejor, hay un entierro
Y una mordida de pantera en lo más mío
Río
Y no es un desafío
A la vida del sueño
Es que vivo camino al cementerio

The Sun Goes Down
The Sun Goes Down
Composer(s): Phil Lynott - Darren Wharton
First release by: Thin Lizzy - 1983
There is a demon among us whose soul belongs in hell
Sent here to redeem us, she knows it all to well
He comes and goes, he comes and goes, she knows it all too well
But when all is said and done
The sun goes down
She tries her best to leave him, but she is still captured by his spell
She knows now she must deceive him, he knows it all to well
She comes and goes, she comes and goes, he knows it all too well
But when all is said and done
The sun goes down
She comes and goes, she comes and goes, he knows it all too well
But when all is said and done
The sun goes down
There is a demon within us
The sun goes down
She tries her best to deceive him
The sun goes down

I may be workin' Monday night
And Tuesday might not be quite right
So, come by Sunday, Sunday night I'm free

And Thursday nights are taffy pull
So, come by Sunday, Sunday come for tea

On Friday night I'm always out
And Saturday I fall about
So, come by Sunday. make it after three
Come by Sunday and spend some time with me
I always make appointments, at least a week ahead
For six long days I go like mad, the seventh day I stay in bed
The whole week through I'm on the town, but Sunday always gets me down
So, come by Sunday. make it after three
Come by Sunday, spend some time
Come by Sunday and stay awhile
Come by Sunday and spend some time with me

Ring Ring telephone ring
Somebody said "Baby whatcha doing?"
I've been wondering how you've been
every now and then
I think about you and me
No use fighting 'bout things we can't recall
it don't matter now at all
baby come on home
and maybe we'll laugh and sing
we'll make love, and let the telephone ring
Ring Ring doorbell ring
Baby come on in
I got James Taylor on the radio
I'm glad you came around
Been feeling down talking to Tony and Mario
You know they make good conversation
Still it ain't no consolation
Baby I got love
And maybe I'll give you some
and if somebody comes
we'll let the doorbell ring
Ring Ring golden ring
Around the sun, around your pretty finger
Ring Ring let the voices ring
with a happy tune anybody can be a singer
The sun comes up across the city
I swear you never looked so young and pretty
Hand in hand
We'll stand upon the sand with the preacher man
Let the wedding bells ring
and let the telephone ring
and let the doorbell ring

Performer(s): Ray Charles - 1968
and multiple other artists
The sun died
The sun died, with my love
When you left me blue, the summer died too
My love and the sun, it's the same
The sun died
The sun died, with my love
And I'm so alone, and yet life goes on
But for me, there can be no more dawn
Yesterday, the coldest winter was like Spring
I thought my love would always stay
I thought our love would never end
But that was yesterday
The sun died
The sun died, with my love
And life's all in vain, in my heart there's rain
And I know that my soul won't stop crying
Yesterday, when I was looking in your eyes
I thought it was sweet paradise
For love completely changed my life
But that was yesterday
The sun died
The sun died, with my love
When you left me blue, the summer died too
My love and the sun, it's the same
My love and the sun, it's the same

Come Back When You Grow Up
Composer(s): Martha Sharp
Performer(s): Bobby Vee; Johnny Tillotson
Come back when you grow up, girl
You're still livin' in a paper-doll world
Livin' ain't easy, lovin's twice as tough
So come back, baby, when you grow up
You look real good like a woman now
Your mind hasn't gotten the message somehow
So if you can't take it 'n' the goin' gets rough
Come back, baby, when you grow up
I want you girl but your wide-eyed innocence
Has really messed up my mind, yeah-eah-eah
I'd rather you get your very first heartbreak
Somewhere else along the line
Come back when you grow up, girl
You're still livin' in a paper-doll world
Some day be a woman ready to love
Come back, baby, when you grow up
Come back when you grow up, girl
You've still got a lotta time left in the world
You'll some day be a woman ready to love
Come back, baby, when you grow up

Ringo
Ringo
Composer(s): Hal Blair; Don Robertson
Performer(s): Lorne Greene;
and various other artists
He lay face down in the desert sand
Clutching his six-gun in his hand
Shot from behind, I thought he was dead
But under his heart was an ounce of lead
But a spark still burned so I used my knife
And late that night I saved the life of Ringo
(Ringo ... Ringo ...)
I nursed him till the danger passed
The days went by, he mended fast
Then from dawn till setting sun
He practised with that deadly gun
And hour on hour I watched in awe
No human being could match the draw of Ringo
(Ringo ... Ringo ...)
One day we rode the mountain crest
And I went east and he went west
I took to law and wore a star
While he spread terror near and far
With lead and blood he gained such fame
All through the West they feared the name of Ringo
(Ringo ... Ringo ...)
I knew someday I'd face the test
Which one of us would be the best
And sure enough the word came down
That he was holed up in the town
I left the posse out in the street
And I went in alone to meet Ringo
(Ringo ... Ringo ...)
They said my speed was next to none
But my lightning draw had just begun
When I heard a blast that stung my wrist
The gun went flying from my fist
And I was looking down the bore
Of the deadly .44 of Ringo
(Ringo ... Ringo ...)
They say that was the only time
That anyone had seen him smile
He slowly lowered his gun and then
He said to me "We're even, friend"
And so at last I understood
That there was still a spark of good in Ringo
(Ringo ... Ringo ...)
I blocked the path of his retreat
He turned and stepped into the street
A dozen guns spit fire and lead
A moment later, he lay dead
The town began to shout and cheer
Nowhere was there shed a tear for Ringo
(Ringo ... Ringo ...)
The story spread throughout the land
That I had beaten Ringo's hand
And it was just the years, they say
That made me put my guns away
But on his grave they can't explain
The tarnished star above the name of Ringo
(Ringo ... Ringo ...)
(Ringo ... Ringo ...)
