Everybody Loves A Winner


Everybody Loves A Winner
Composer(s): Neil Henderson
Performer(s): Middle of the Road



If you want to tell me what I'm supposed to know
I listen to you carefully so the two of us can show

And if I whisper to you and this is what you hear
Always want you near
That I tell you that I love you and
Everybody loves a winner
Oh oh oh
And nobody wants to know is it me
See
I love you so
Maybe this time we'll come together
You and I will live forever
Hold me close and tell me we can't lose

Oh oh oh everybody loves a winner . . . . .

I'm In Love And He's In Dallas


I'm In Love And He's In Dallas
Composer(s): Richard Leigh; Kent Robbins
Performer(s): Tanya Tucker; Marie Osmond



Mama said
"Tell me what's wrong child
You didn't eat enough
To keep a bird alive
And you haven't said
Two words to me all evening"

She said,
"Girl, you've got your long face on
Your eyes are red
And your smile is gone"
So I broke down
And I told my mama the reason

I'm in love and he's in Dallas
I'm as blue as a girl can be
Is he down there thinkin' about my love
Or driftin' away from me?
I'm in love and he's in Dallas
But that's not the way it's s'pposed to be
Can a promise reach from Texas
All the way to Tennesee?

I really shoulda heard
From him by now
He promised he'd write
When things settled down
And send me money
For a ticket when things got better

And mama I guess
He's just workin' hard
And you know how
Those cowboys are
But it's been three weeks
And I ain't got a letter

I'm in love and he's in Dallas
I'm as blue as a girl can be
Is he down there thinkin' about my love
Or driftin' away from me?
And I'm in love and he's in Dallas
And it's not the way it's s'pposed to be
Can a promise reach from Texas
All the way to Tennesee?

Well I'm in love and he's in Dallas
I'm as blue as a girl can be
Can a promise reach from Texas
All the way to Tennesee?

Everybody Loves A Drinking Man


Everybody Loves A Drinking Man
Composer(s): Miller Anderson
Performer(s): Savoy Brown



Well my daddy never drank no whiskey
He never wet his liver with gin
My momma said she loved nobody else
But she really loved the drinking man

Respectable though my daddy was
Until he heard of mama's sin
He drank every drop of liquor in this place
And we never saw my daddy again

Because everybody loves a drinking man
Everybody loves a drinking man

Well my uncle was a real good talker
He'd talk the beak off a myna bird
Until someone dropped a glass of whiskey in his hand
He never said another word

Because everybody loves a drinking man
Everybody loves a drinking man

So understand that people will judge you
On your good and not your words
So if you're looking for a favor or two
You may likely die of thirst

Because everybody loves a drinking man
Everybody loves a drinking man
Everybody loves a drinking man
Everybody loves a drinking man

I'm In Love Again (The Dolly Sisters)


I'm In Love Again
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): The Dolly Sisters
and multiple other artists



Why am I.....Just as happy as a child
Why am I.....Like a racehorse running wild
Why am I.....In a state of ecstasy
The reason is 'cause something's happened to me

I'm in love again, and the spring is comin'
I'm in love again, hear my heart strings strummin'
I'm in love again, and the hymn I'm hummin'
is the "Huddle Up, Cuddle Up Blues"

I'm in love again, and I can't rise above it
I'm in love again, and I love, love, love it
I'm in love again, and I'm darn glad of it
Good news!

Someone sad had the awful luck to meet
Someone bad, but the kind of bad that's sweet
No one knows what a glimpse of paradise
Someone who's naughty showed to someone who's nice

I'm in love again, and with glee I bubble
I'm in love again, and the fun's just double
I'm in love again, if I got in trouble
I'll be cursin' one person I know

I'm in love again, I'm a lovebird sigin'
I'm in love again, I'm the spring lamb springin'
I'm in love again, weddin' bells are ringin'
Let's go!

Everybody Loves A Clown


Everybody Loves A Clown
((French Version: Tout Le Monde Rit D'un Clown (Claude François) - 1966)) Composer(s): Gary Lewis - Thomas Leslie - Leon Russell First release: Gary Lewis & the Playboys - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists



Everybody loves a clown, so why don't you?
Everybody laughs at the things I say and do
They all laugh when they see me comin'
But you don't laugh, you just go home runnin'
Everybody loves a clown, so why can't you?
A clown has feelings, too

I joke around at a party when you are there
But you don't laugh, you don't look, you just don't care
If you wonder why this clown is cryin'
Look a little closer, inside I'm dyin'
It's not easy to be in love, you see
When you're a clown like me'

I don't know how to say that I love you
'Cause you would smile and say "Tell a joke or two"
Yes, I'm a clown but I don't wanna be
Why can't ya see the other side of me?
Guess I'll be the guy who plays the part
Of a clown with a broken heart

Dreamin' of your love and not knowing where to start
Dreamin' of your love and not knowing where to start
Dreamin' of your love and not knowin' where to start
Dreamin' of your love and not knowin' where to start

Everybody loves to cha cha cha
Little children like to cha cha cha
They like to cha cha cha, they like to cha cha cha

Took my baby to the hop last night and what to my surprise
When we got there she hit me with the news
Right between the eyes, yeah

She said she couldn't do the cha cha cha
She said she couldn't do the cha cha cha
She couldn't cha cha cha, no, she couldn't cha cha cha
My baby couldn't do the cha cha cha

I told her not to worry
They'd play some other dance
But we sat there for an hour and a half
And we never got a chance

Every song they played was the cha cha cha
Every song they played was the cha cha cha
"Tom Dooley", cha cha cha, "Tea For Two", cha cha cha
Every number was the cha cha cha

I told her not to worry there's only one thing we can do
Baby, if you let me take you by the hand
I'm gonna teach this dance to you

Then, I told her one two, cha cha cha
One two, cha cha cha
And up now, baby and back now
That's right, turn now, alright let's cross now
I taught my baby how to cha cha cha

We kept on dancing
And was I surprised, for you see
After we practiced it for a little while
She was doing it better than me

Now my baby loves to do the cha cha cha
She loves to do the cha cha cha
She likes her, she likes to cha cha cha
Everybody likes to cha cha cha

They do it
One two, cha cha cha, alright
One two, cha cha cha
And up now, alright back now
Alright baby let's cross now and turn now
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

I think I'd like to go back home
And take it easy

Gotta get away from this day-to-day running around
Everybody knows this is nowhere
Everybody everybody knows
Everybody knows this is nowhere
Everytime I think about back home

Which that I could be there right now
Just passing time

Everybody knows this is nowhere

I'm in a low-down groove
From carr'ing a torch for you

Everybody Knows Matilda


Everybody Knows Matilda
Composer(s): Duke Baxter
Performer(s): The Petards



I went down to 42nd street
Thought I'd get a bite to eat
I saw a girl that I'd like to meet
You know, she sure looked good

Told me that her heart was broken
Asked me what it was I's smoking
All she had was an old bus token
Yes, I would

She cried a tear
And said she was alone
And would I be so good
To accompany her home
Yeah, I could, yeah

But everybody knows Matilda
Everybody knows Matilda
Ain't no life for a young girl
All alone in a great big world
Matilda

Took me to shack on the edge of town
All the shades were pulled and drawn
Nobody, not a soul around
She smiled at me

Mixed drinks and I fixed my head
Drank it down, made me feel like lead
When I asked her, where was the bed
She said, I'd see

She pulled me close
Now what was I to do
My head was spinning
As she said take off your shoes
And I agree, yeah

But everybody knows Matilda
Everybody knows Matilda
Ain't no life for a young girl
All alone in a great big world
Matilda

Heard a heavy knock upon the door
Scared me so bad, I fell on the floor
Heard a voice that sounded sore
Said, let me in

Matilda said her boyfriend had a gun
Sorry, baby, but you have to run
But I was gone before she was done
I left my skin

Flew out the window
As the door came tumbling down
Didn't even say goodbye
I was homeward bound
Just can't win, no

Now everybody knows Matilda
Everybody knows Matilda
Ain't no life for a young girl
All alone in a great big world

Everybody knows Matilda
Everybody knows Matilda
Everybody knows Matilda
Everybody knows Matilda

Everybody Knows
((French Version: Tout Le Monde Sait (Dalida)) Composer(s): Barry Mason - Leslie Reed Performer(s): The Dave Clark Five



Wish they hadn't seen you walk away
And heard me beg you "Stay, please stay"
Why, why did we choose this crowded place
They all know it, 'cause I show it in my face

Everybody knows you said goodbye
Everybody knows we're through
Now they all can see the tears I cry
Running down my face for you

They all said it's too good to be true
It'll make a fool of you one day
I just laughed and said our love was strong
But you left me and they all know I was wrong

Everybody knows you're tired of me
Everybody knows we're through
Though I'm on my own I can't be free
Baby, I just live for you

Everybody knows you said goodbye
Everybody knows we're through
Now they all can see the tears I cry
Running down my face for you

Everybody knows you're tired of me

Though I'm on my own I can't be free

I'm Hurtin'
Composer(s): Skeets McDonald
Performer(s): Nat King Cole



I'm hurtin' since you're gone
Without you baby I can't get along
Each day I pay what be the cost
Without you baby I'm really lost
Heart breakin' one you led me on
Now misery is the cost
Without you baby it's for certain
I'm a-hurtin'

I'm hurtin' here all alone
For me it's curtains if you're long gone
Please come on home and you be boss
Because without you I'm really lost
I've lost my might, my appetite
Just roll and toss, can't sleep at night
Without you baby it's for certain
I'm a-hurtin'

I'm hurtin', my pride is gone
There's one thing certain, the blues are long
A rollin' stone don't gather moss
I'm rollin' on, but really lost
I love your style, I miss your smile
Each day you're gone, I'm nearly wild
Without you baby it's for certain
I'm a-hurtin'
Without you baby it's for certain
I'm a-hurtin'

Everybody Knows (Leonard Cohen)


Everybody Knows
Composer(s): Leonard Cohen; Sharon Robinson
Performer(s): Leonard Cohen



Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died

Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Ah give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

And everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah when you've done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows

And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows

And everybody knows that you're in trouble
Everybody knows what you've been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu
Everybody knows it's coming apart
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
Before it blows
And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows

I'm Here To Get My Baby Out Of Jail


I'm Here To Get My Baby Out Of Jail
Composer(s): Karl Davis; Harty Taylor
Performer(s): The Cumberland Ridge Runners - 1934
Covered by multiple other artists



"I'm not in your town to stay"
Said a lady old and gray
To the warden of the penitentiary
"I'm not in your town to stay
And I'll soon be on my way
I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
Oh warden, I'm just here to get my baby out of jail"

"I tried to raise my baby right
I have prayed both day and night
That he wouldn't follow the footsteps of his dad
I have searched both far and wide
And I feared that he had died
But at last I've found my baby here in jail
Oh warden, at last I've found my baby here in jail"

"It was just 5 years today
When his daddy passed away
He was found beneath the snow so cold & white
'Twas then I vowed to take his ring
And his gold watch and his chain
And the county laid his daddy in the grave
Yes warden, the county laid his daddy in the grave"

"I will pawn you his watch
I will pawn you his chain
I will pawn you my diamond wedding ring
I will wash all your clothes
I will scrub all your floors
If that will get my baby out of jail
Yes warden, if that will get my baby out of jail"

Then I heard the warden say
To the lady old and gray
"I'll go bring your darlin' baby to your side"
2 iron gates swang wide apart
She held her darlin' to her heart
She kissed her baby boy and then she died
But smiling, she kissed her baby boy and then she died

"I'm not in your town to stay"
Said a lady old and gray
"I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
Yes warden, I'm just here to get my baby out of jail"

Everybody knows you've been treating me bad
Everybody knows you've been makin' me sad

Well you don't have to lie 'cause I'm no fool
I can see you don't want my love at all
I know, I still love you

Everybody knows he's been hanging around
Everybody knows you've been painting the town

He could never love you the way that I do
And maybe I'll find somebody else
But oh, I still love you

Every night I keep on cryin'
And I pray that you'll stop lyin' to me

Everybody knows you will never be mine
Everybody knows I've been wasting my time

I want to forget you as fast as I can
But every time I see you the hurtin' begins again
I still love you

Everybody knows, everybody knows
