Judy in disguise, well that's what you are
Lemonade pie with a brand new car
Cantalope eyes come to me tonight
Judy in disguise with glasses

Keep a-wearing your bracelets and your new rara
Cross your heart with your living bra
Chimney sweep sparrow with guise
Judy in disguise with glasses

Come to me tonight, come to me tonight
Taking everything in sight
Except for the strings on my kite

Judy in disguise, well what you aiming for
A circus of horrors, yeah, well that's what you are
You made me a life of ashes
I guess I'll just take your glasses

Too Many Cooks In The Kitchen


Too Many Cooks In The Kitchen
Composer(s): Colin Moulding
Performer(s): The Colonel



There's too many cooks in the kitchen
There's too many minds on the job
There's too many cooks in the kitchen
Everybody wants a piece of the action
Cooking the books and getting their fractions wrong

What we need is law and order
Everybody knows
You can't have chiefs without the injuns
Stepping on their toes

There's too many cooks in the kitchen - too many cooks in the kitchen
There's too many daps in the pie - too many cooks in the kitchen
There's too many cooks in the kitchen - too many cooks in the kitchen
Everybody needs a place in the rat race
Playing games of power, it's only a cat chase

What we need is law and order
Everybody knows
You can't have chiefs without the injuns
Stepping on their toes
Too many, too many, too many, too many
Too many, too many, too many, too many
Too many, too many, too many, too many
Too many, too many, too many, too many

Too many cooks in the kitchen
Too many cooks in the kitchen
Too many cooks in the kitchen

Too many cooks in the kitchen
Too many cooks in the kitchen, yeah
Too many cooks in the kitchen
Too many cooks in the kitchen

I Just Can't Wait To Be King


I Just Can't Wait To Be King
Composer(s): Elton John; Tim Rice
Performer(s): Elton John & London Community
and multiple other artists



I'm gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware!

Well, I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair

I'm gonna be the mane event
Like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my Roar

Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing

Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
(You've rather a long way to go, young master
if you think...)

No one saying do this
(Now when I said that, I -)
No one saying be there
(What I meant was...)
No one saying stop that
(Look, what you don't realize...)
No one saying see here
(Now see here!)

Free to run around all day
(Well, that's definitely out...)
Free to do it all my way!

I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart to heart

Kings don't need advice
From little hornbills for a start

If this is where the monarchy is headed
Count me out!
Out of service, out of Africa
I wouldn't hang about
This child is getting wildly out of wing

Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standing in the spotlight!

Not yet!

Let every creature go for broke and sing
Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling

Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Oh, I just can't waaaaaait ... to be king!

Judy (Marty Robbins)


Judy
Performer(s): Marty Robbins



You came down out of Heaven to make me happy, dear
To smile away my sorrows and kiss away my tears
Seems that I have loved you though we've never met before
But now you're in my heart, love, to stay for evermore

You're my angel, Judy, you're my darlin'
You're the sweetest flower that Heaven ever grew
My arms could never hold another
'Cause my love is only for you

The nights were dark and lonely the days were lonely too
But now they're all so bright, love, cause all I see is you
You came into my heart, love, from out of empty space
With a song upon your lips, dear, with a smile upon your face

You're my angel, Judy, you're my darlin'
You're the sweetest flower that Heaven ever grew
My arms could never hold another
'Cause my love is only for you

Too Long Out/Too Long In


Too Long Out/Too Long In
Performer(s): Jorma Kaukonen



"Well movin' down to Lousisiana, gonna leave this life behind
Bye-bye California, said I finally changed my mind
This restless way of livin' bout to drive a man insane
To leave the sleepy village, tired of playin' those waitin' games

Well hello New York City, hope you're waitin' on my call
Babe since I've been here you're the greatest one of all
Well hello big time city, come on and have a ball
Tired of hibernatin', let's go cruising for a fall

Well I spent some time in Wichita
Thought it was the pits
This life of superstratum just ain't all it's cracked up to be

To California, where the people let you be
Well good morning Albuquerque
Lord I must have gone insane
Looking out the window
Gotta catch a train
Seems like lost horizons just ain't comin' up the same
I hear California callin'
I better take a plane
Well
Gotta to tell Virginia that they better let it shine
This life that I've been living
Street sore failure on my mind
Well bye bye the old Grand Canyon
California way behind"

I Just Can't Stop Loving You


I Just Can't Stop Loving You
Composer(s): Michael Jackson
Performer(s): Michael Jackson



I just want to lay next to you for a while
You look so beautiful tonight
Your eyes are so lovely
Your mouth is so sweet
A lot of people misunderstand me
That's because they don't know me at all
I just want to touch you
And hold you
I need you
God, I need you
I love you so much

Each time the wind blows
I hear your voice so
I call your name
Whispers at morning
Our love is dawning
Heaven's glad you came

You know how I feel
This thing can't go wrong
I'm so proud to say I love you
Your love's got me high
I long to get by
This time is forever
Love is the answer

I hear your voice now
You are my choice now
The love you bring
Heaven's in my heart
At your call I hear harps
And Angels sing
You know how I feel
This thing can't go wrong
I can't live my life without you

I just can't hold on
I feel we belong
My life ain't worth living
If I can't be with you

I just can't stop loving you
I just can't stop loving you
And if I stop
Then tell me just what will I do
'Cause I just can't stop loving you

At night when the stars shine
I pray in you I'll find a love so true
When morning awakes me
Will you come and take me
I'll wait for you

You know how I feel
I won't stop until I hear
Your voice saying I do
(I do)
This thing can't go wrong
This feeling's so strong
Well, my life ain't worth living
If I can't be with you

I just can't stop loving you
I just can't stop loving you
(If I don't)
And if I stop
Then tell me just what will I do
I just can't stop loving you

We can change all the world tomorrow
We can sing songs of yesterday
I can say,'Hey, farewell to sorrow'
This is my life and I
Want to see you for always

I just can't stop loving you
(Oh, baby)
(Oh)
I just can't stop loving you
(If I can't stop)
And if I stop
(Oh)
Then tell me just what will I do
(Oh)
(What will I do)
(Oh)
I just can't stop loving you
(Why do, girl)
I just can't stop loving you
(And nobody but'you)
And if I stop
Then tell me just what will I do

Judy (Frankie Vaughan)


Judy
Performer(s): Frankie Vaughan



If her voice can bring
Every hope of Spring
That's Judy
My Judy

If her eyes say "yes"
But you're wrong in your guess
That's Judy
My Judy

If you hear her call
In a soft, southern drawl
"Hi! Stranger!"
That's danger

If you're smart; watch your heart
She'll upset 'most any fellows apple cart!

In a hundred ways
You'll be shouting her praise
She'll let 'ya
She'll get 'ya

When she sees you fall
She will will tell you "That's all,..."
"You wrtech 'ya!"
You betcha

Then you'l know all the heartaches
Of a fool just like me

If she seem a saint
And you'll find that she ain't
That's Judy
Sure as you're born!

Too Long At The Fair


Too Long At The Fair
Composer(s): Joel Zoss
First release: Bonnie Raitt - 1972



Jesus cried, wept and died
I guess he went up to heaven
I've been downtown such a long, long time
I'll never make it home by seven
Won't you come & take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore

Well I went down to Chason's
Walked 'til my feet got sore
I never knew what laughin' was
'til you walked out the door
Won't you come and take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore

Well, you can give my soul to Aabraham
Give my soul to Saul
Give my bones to Canada
My feet they don't hurt at all

I don't know who made the highway
I guess that's just my pride
But I have heard the prince of darkness
On his charger ride

The silver blade is gleamin'
The scales are in his hands
I swear another night is fallin'
Don't you lose another man
Won't you come and take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore

I Just Can't Make It By Myself


I Just Can't Make It By Myself
Composer(s): Clara Ward
Performer(s): Al Green; Elvis Presley; Salem Travelers



I need Jesus to guide me every day
As I'm travellin' along this rough and narrow way
Though afflictions fill my soul
I'm determined to make the goal
I've gotta have Jesus 'cause I just
can't make it by myself

Every day I pray (pray) pray (pray)
Pray (pray) pray (pray)
I pray (pray) pray (pray
Pray pray pray
Pray and ask the Lord Jesus
Don't leave me by myself

Every mornin' through the years I pray
You know I've got to have Jesus
I just can't it by myself
By myself

Judy (Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show)


Judy
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show



The waitress with the orange hair
keeps motionin' me to hurry up and leave
So I gulp my coffee - burn my mouth - grab up my coat and slippin' out
I smear a streak of mustard down my sleeve
And the guy behind the register takes my bread and shakes his head
And looks at me as though I've blown his mind
Hey, I just come here for some coffee
Hope I'm not wastin' anybody's time

And Judy I'm slowly movin' back to you
And I wish that I could say I'll treat you better than I used to
It's just I'm learnin' lots of things I never knew back then
Judy I'm slowly movin' back again
Judy I'm slowly movin' back again

That blue eyed barracuda smiles and tells me she could use some brand new clothes
She grabs my leg and with a wink, asks if I want another drink
She's not the campfire girl you might suppose
But she's so busy tellin' me her troubles I don't think she's got time
For any kind of trouble small as mine
Hey, I just come in here for nothin'
Hope I'm not wastin' anybody's time

And Judy I'm slowly movin' back to you
And I wish that I could say I'll treat you better than I used to
It's just I'm learnin' lots of things I never knew back then
Judy I'm slowly movin' back again
Judy I'm slowly movin' back again

Well I'm stopped here on the corner, when the red faced cop says move along your way
But my nose is cold and my toes are numb, I got no feeling in my thumb
I think I just might stop inside that church and maybe pray
But they pass the plate and they look at me when it turns out that I ain't got a dime
Hey, I just come in here to talk to God
Hope I'm not wastin' anybody's time

And Judy I'm slowly movin' back to you
And I wish that I could say I'll treat you better than I used to
It's just I'm learnin' lots of things I never knew back then
Judy I'm slowly movin' back again
Judy I'm slowly movin' back again

Too Late To Turn Back Now


Too Late To Turn Back Now
Composer(s): Eddie Lee Cornelius Jr.
First release: Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose - 1972



My mama told me, she said, "Boy, please beware
There's this thing called love and it's everywhere"
She tells me, "It can break your heart and leave you in misery"
Ever since I met this little woman
I feel it's happening to me, and I'm tellin' you
It's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm fallin' in love
Oh, it's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
I found myself wanting her at least ten times a day
You know, it's so unusual for me to carry on this way
I'm tellin' you
I can't sleep at night
I want you to hold me tight
I've tried so hard to convince myself
This feeling just can't be right, and I'm tellin' you
It's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm fallin' in love
Oh, it's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
I wouldn't mind it if I knew she really loved me too
But I hate to think that I'm in love alone and nothing that I can do
Whoa
oh

It's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm fallin' in love
Oh, it's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
My mama told me, she said, "Son, please beware
'Bout this thing called love and it's everywhere"
She told me, "She can break your heart
Ooh, and put you in misery"
Since I met this new woman, I do believe it's happening to me
Let me tell ya
It's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm fallin' in love
It's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
I find myself wanting her at least ten times a day
You know, that's so unusual for me to carry on this way
I tell ya
I can't sleep at night for wanting to hold her tight
Ooh, I've tried so hard convincing myself
This feeling just can't be right
Let me tell ya
It's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm fallin' in love
It's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
It's too late, ooh, baby, ooh yeah
It's too late, baby
Now I wouldn't mind it not if I knew she loved me too
I'd hate to think that I'm in love alone
And there's nothing that I can do
Whoa, oh
It's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm fallin' in love
It's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
Ooh baby, I tell you. I believe
I believe, I believe I'm falling in love

I Just Can't Help Believin'


I Just Can't Help Believin'
Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil
First release by: Barry Mann - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists



I just can't help believin'
When she smiles up soft and gentle
With a trace of misty mornin'
And the promise of tomorrow in her eye-eyes

And I just can't help believin'
When she's lyin' close beside me
And my heart beats with the rhythm of her si-i-i-ighs

This time the girl is gonna stay
This time the girl is gonna stay for more than just a da-ay

I just can't help believin'
When she slips her hand in my hand
And it feels so small and helpless
That my fingers fold around it like a glo-ove

And I just can't help believin'
When she's whisperin' her magic
And her tears are shinin' honey sweet with lo-o-o-ove

This time the girl is gonna stay (this time the girl is gonna stay)
This time the girl is gonna stay for more than just a da-ay

For more than just a da-a-a-ay

(Just can't help believin')

I never thought dreams could happen
Until one came true for me
Since I met Judy
Since I met Judy
My life has been one sweet melody
Yeah! Yeah!
I never thought I could welcome....
Two other hearts as I do
Oh...Since I met Judy

To love her! Got her! Got her! Yeah! Yeah!
Gonna keep her right here with me

All my pains and heartaches are all gone
So glad I can tell the world

If you think I'm gonna leave her
Man, you're wrong
It's only Judy
I'm telling you you're wrong
I love Judy
I'm crazy about that Judy
Judy, Judy, Judy!

Too Late Now


Too Late Now
Composer(s): Burton Lane - Alan Jay Lerner
First performance: Jane Powell - 1951
Covered by multiple other artists



Too late now to forget your smile
The way we cling when we've danced awhile
Too late now to forget and go on to someone new

Too late now to forget your voice
The way one word makes my heart rejoice
Too late now to imagine myself away from you

All the things we've done together
I relive when we're apart
All the tender fun together
Stays on in my heart

How could I ever close the door
And be the same as I was before
Darling, no, no I can't anymore
It's too late now

All the things we've done together
I relive when we're apart
All the tender fun together
Stays on in my heart

How could I ever close the door
And be the same as I was before
Darling, no, no I can't anymore
It's too late now

I Just Came To Get My Baby


I Just Came To Get My Baby
Composer(s): Wayne Kemp
Performer(s): Faron Young



Well, I didn't come in here to cause you no trouble
And bartender just forget that glass of beer
And I'm sorry old buddy that I pulled her from your arms
But I just came to get my baby out of here

Would you believe she's never been inside of a tonky tonk
And would you believe she can't stand the taste of beer
Well, I just don't know what's come over my baby
And I just came to get my baby out of here

Well, I know exactly what you're up to
'Cause I've been watching what you've been doing from the door
And I told you once to keep your hands off of her
And I ain't gonna tell you anymore

Would you believe she's never been inside of a tonky tonk
And would you believe she can't stand the taste of beer
Well, I just don't know what's come over my baby
And I just came to get my baby out of here...

Judy & Cie Composer(s): Pierre Rapsat; Eric van Hulse First release by: Pierre Rapsat - 1976



Judy, Judy n'est pas jolie
Judy, Judy celle qu'on oublie
(Que l'on oublie)
Dès que la soirée s'achève
Judy, Judy on te charrie
Judy, Judy on te marie
(On te marie)
Et toujours avec un rêve
Sous ton rimmel et tes bijoux
Tu prie Sainte Marilyne Monroe
D'être une poupée un beau joujou
Tu peux te plaindre
Enfin la femme

Judy, Judy se réfugie
Judy, Judy dans la magie
(dans la magie)
Des flacons si doux à boire
Judy la nuit
Fait un songe dérisoire
Un jour un soir changer de peau
Avec les pis sur les photos
À boire encore comme un roseau
Les yeux tout vides
Mais pas de rides

Judy, Judy & Compagnie
Judy, Judy qu'on sacrifie
(qu'on sacrifie)
Contre une poignée de neige
Pauvre Judy

Too High


Too High
Composer(s): Paul Bollenback - Stevie Wonder
First release: Stevie Wonder - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists



Dodo do do do dodo
Do do dodo do dodo
Dodo dodo do do

Dodo do do do dodo
Do do do do dodo do
Dodo dodo dodo

I'm too high
I'm too high
But I ain't touched the sky

I'm too high
I'm too high
But I ain't touched the sky

She's a girl in a dream
She sees a four-eyed cartoon monster
On the T.V. screen
She takes another puff and says
"It's a crazy scene"
That red is green
And she's a tangerine

I'm too high
I'm too high
But I ain't left the ground

I'm too high
I'm too high
I hope I never ever come down

She's the girl in her life
But her world's a superficial paradise
She had a chance to make it big more than once or twice
But no dice
She wasn't very nice

Ooh

Dodo do do do dodo
Do do dodo do dodo
Do do do do do do

Dodo do do do dodo
Do do dodo do dodo
Dodo dodo
Dodo dodo
Dodo dodo

I'm too high
I'm too high
I'm so high
I feel like I'm about to die

I can't ever touch the sky

I'm too high
She's a girl of the past
I guess that I got to her at last
A did you hear the news about the girl today
She passed away
What did her friend say

They said she's too high
Too high
Can't hang around anyway...

Dodo do do do dodo
Do do dodo do dodo
do... do... do...
do... do... do...

I Just Called To Say I Love You


I Just Called To Say I Love You
Composer(s): Stevie Wonder
First release by: Stevie Wonder - 1984
Covered by multiple other artists

Title In Other Languages:
1984 - Je T’appelle Pour Te Dire Que Je T’aime
1984 - Pour Te Dire Je T'aime
1984 - Ik Bel Jou, M'n Schat, Ik Mis Je



No New Year's Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring, no song to sing
In fact, here's just another ordinary day

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

No April rain, no flowers' bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you

No summer's high, no warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze, no falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies

No Libra sun, no Hallowe'en
No giving thanks for all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, tho' old, so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do

Too Fat Polka


Too Fat Polka
((English/German Version: Zu Fett Polka (James Last))
Composer(s): Ross MacLean - Arthur Richardson
Performer(s): Arthur Godfrey - 1947
and multiple other artists



Here's a silly ditty
You can sing it right away
Now, here is what you say
So sing it while you may

Here's a silly jingle
You can sing it night or noon
Here's the words, that's all you need
'Cause I just sang the tune:

Oh, I don't want her, you can have her
She's too fat for me
She's too fat for me
She's too fat for me
I don't want her, you can have her
She's too fat for me
She's too fat
She's too fat
She's too fat for me

I get dizzy
I get numbo
When I'm dancing
With my Jum-Jum-Jumbo

I don't want her, you can have her
She's too fat for me
She's too fat for me
She's too fat for me
I don't want her, you can have her
She's too fat for me
She's too fat
She's too fat
She's too fat for me

Can she prance up a hill?
No, no, no, no, no
Can she dance a quadrille?
No, no, no, no, no
Does she fit in your coupe?
By herself she's a group
Could she possibly
Sit upon your knee?
No, no, no

We don't want her, you can have her
She's too fat for me
And she's too fat for me
But she's just right for me
We don't want her, you can have her
She's too fat for me
Yeah, she's too fat
Much too fat
But she's just right for me

She's so charming
And she's so winning
But it's alarming
When she goes in swimming

We don't want her, you can have her
She's too fat for me
She's too fat for me
But she's just right for me
So I sure want her, you can't have her
She's just right for me
But she's too fat!
She's not too fat!
She's just right for me!

She's a twosome
She's a foursome
If she'd lose some
I would like her more some

I don't want her, you can have her
She's too fat for me
She's too fat for me
She's too fat for me
I don't want her you can have her
She's too fat for me
She's too fat
Much too fat
She's too fat for me
Hey!
