Everybody Loves Somebody


Everybody Loves Somebody
Composer(s): Irving Taylor; Ken Lane; Sam Coslow
Performer(s): Dean Martin;
and various other artists



Everybody loves somebody sometime
Everybody falls in love somehow
Something in your kiss just told me
That sometime is now

Everybody finds somebody someplace
There's no telling where love may appear
Something in my heart keeps saying
My someplace is here

If I had it in my power
I'd arrange for every girl to have you charms
Then every minute, every hour
Everybody would find what I found in your arms

Everybody loves somebody sometime
And though my dreams were overdue
Your love made it all worth waiting
For someone like you

If I had it in my power
I'd arrange for every girl to have you charms
Then every minute, every hour
Everybody would find what I found in your arms

Everybody loves somebody sometime
And though my dreams were overdue
Your love made it all worth waiting
For someone like you

I'm In Love With A Wonderful Guy


I'm In Love With A Wonderful Guy
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II; Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Mary Martin & Mitzi Gaynor
and multiple other artists



Nellie:
I expect everyone of my crowd to make fun
Of my proud protestations of faith in romance
And they'll say I'm naïve as a babe to believe
Every fable I hear from a person in pants

Fearlessly I'll face them and argue their doubts away
Loudly I'll sing about flowers in spring
Flatly I'll stand on my little flat feet and say
Love is a grand and a beautiful thing!
I'm not ashamed to reveal
The world famous feelin' I feel

I'm as corny as Kansas in August
I'm as normal as blueberry pie
No more a smart little girl with no heart
I have found me a wonderful guy!

I am in a conventional dither
With a conventional star in my eye
And you will note there's a lump in my throat
When I speak of that wonderful guy!

I'm as trite and as gay as a daisy in May
A cliché comin' true!
I'm bromidic and bright
As a moon-happy night
Pourin' light on the dew!

I'm as corny as Kansas in August
High as a flag on the Fourth of July!
If you'll excuse an expression I use
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love with a wonderful guy!

I'm as trite and as gay as a daisy in May
A cliché comin' true!
I'm bromidic and bright
As a moon-happy night
Pourin' light on the dew!

Girls:
I'm as corny as Kansas in August
High as a flag on the Fourth of July!

Nellie:
If you'll excuse an expression I use
I'm in love

Girls:
I'm in love

Nellie:
I'm in love

Girls:
I'm in love

Nellie:
I'm in love

Girls:
I'm in love

Nellie:
I'm in love

Girls:
I'm in love

Nellie:
I'm in love

Girls:
I'm in love

Nellie:
I'm in love

Girls:
I'm in love

Nellie and Girls:
I'm in love with a wonderful guy!

I just let those kisses be
don't wash my face for weeks!

Everybody loves my baby...

I'm In Love With A Big Blue Frog


I'm In Love With A Big Blue Frog
Composer(s): Braunstein; Noel Paul Stookey; Mary Travers; Peter Yarrow
Peter, Paul and Mary; Disney; The Muppets



I'm in love with a big blue frog
A big blue frog loves me
It's not as bad as it appears
He wears glasses and he's six foot three

Well I'm not worried about our kids
I know they'll turn out neat
They'll be great looking 'cause they'll have my face
And great swimmers 'cause they'll have his feet

I'm in love with a big blue frog
A big blue frog loves me
He's not as bad as he appears
He's got rhythm and a Ph.D.

Well I know we can make things work
He's got a good family since
His mother was a frog from Philadelphia
His daddy an enchanted prince

The neighbors are against it, it's clear to me
And it's probably clear to you
They think value on their property'll go right down
If the family next door is blue

Well I'm in love with a big blue frog
A big blue frog loves me
I've got a tattoo on my chest
That says P-h-r-o-g, that's frog to me
P-h-r-o-g

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

Composer(s): Neil Young
Performer(s): Neil Young & Crazy Horse



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

There's a woman that I'd like to get to know
Living there

Everybody seems to wonder what it's like down here
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
It's cool and breezy
Which that I could be there right now
Just passing time
Everybody seems to wonder what it's like down here
Gotta get away from this day-to-day running around
Everybody knows this is nowhere

Repeat

Everybody knows everybody knows…

I'm in a low-down groove
From carr'ing a torch for you
Oh what a low-down groove
Really don't know what to do

This time I really got burned
I don't need a song to prove
That I'm in such a low-down groove

My heart has no sense of humour

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 (The Dave Clark Five)


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

I'm Hurtin' (Nat King Cole)


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'
