Everybody's Been Burned


Everybody's Been Burned
Composer(s): David Crosby
Performer(s): The Byrds; Eugene Chadbourne;
Sebadoh; Thin White Rope



Everybody has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain
Anyone in this place can tell you to your face
Why you shouldn't love someone

Everybody knows it never works
Everybody knows and reads
I know that door that shuts just before
You get to the dream you see

I know all too well how to turn, how to run
How to hide behind a bitter wall of blue
But you die inside if you choose to hide
So I guess instead I'll love you

I'm Just A Lonely Guy


I'm Just A Lonely Guy
Composer(s): Dorothy LaBostrie; Robert Blackwell
Performer(s): Little Richard; Crowbar; King Biscuit Boy



I'm all alone
Alone in this world
I'm all alone
And I lost my only girl

I'm all alone
Yes, I need some one to love
I'm all alone
Alone in this world

Once I had a love
To lean on in the dark
But then that girl she
She up and put me down

I'm just a lonely
A lonely, lonely guy
A lonely guy in this town
Oh, oh, yes
A lonely guy in this town

If my baby
Can't be found
I'm going to the river
Jump overboard and drown

I'm just a lonely
A lonely, lonely
Lonely guy
I feel so low down
Oh oh, oh oh oh, feel so low down

If my baby
Can't be found
Yeah! I'm going to the river
Jump overboard and drown

I'm just a lonely
A lonely, lonely guy
And I feel so low down
Oh yes, so low down

Everybody Wants To Be A Cat


Everybody Wants To Be A Cat
Composer(s): Floyd Huddleston; Al Rinker
Performer(s): Phil Harris;
and various other artists



Everybody wants to be a cat
because a cat's the only cat
who knows where it's at
Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat
'cause everything else is obsolete
Now a square with a horn
can make you wish you weren't born
ever'time he plays
and with a square in the act
he can set music back
to the caveman days
I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing
but a cat's the only cat
who knows how to swing
Who wants to dig
a long-haired gig
or stuff like that?
When everybody wants to be a cat
A square with that horn
makes you wish you weren't born
ever'time he plays
and with a square in the act
he's gonna set this music back
to the Stone Age days
Everybody wants to be a cat
because a cat's the only cat
who knows where it's at
while playin' jazz you always has a Welcome mat
'cause everybody digs a swingin' cat
Everybody digs a swingin' cat

I'm Just A Country Boy


I'm Just A Country Boy
Composer(s): Fred Brooks; Mashall Barer
Performer(s): Harry Belafonte
and multiple other artists



I ain't gonna marry in the fall
And I ain't gonna marry in the spring
For I'm in love with a pretty little girl
Who wears a diamond ring

For.....I'm just a country boy
Money have I none
But I've got silver in the stars
And gold in the morning sun
And gold in the morning sun

I'm never gonna kiss those ruby red lips
Of the prettiest girl in town
I'm never gonna ask her if she'd marry me
'Cause I know she'd turn me down

'Cause.....I'm just a country boy
Money, money have I none
But I've got silver in the stars
And gold in the morning sun
And gold in the morning sun

I Never could afford a store-bought ring
With a sparkling diamond stone
All I could afford was a loving heart
The only one I own

'Cause.....I'm just a country boy
Money, money have I none
But I've got silver, silver in the stars
And gold in the morning sun
And gold in the morning sun

Everybody Wants A Key To My Cellar


Everybody Wants A Key To My Cellar
Composer(s): Ed Rose; Billy Baskette; Lew Pollace
Performer(s): Bert Williams



Down in my cellar, down in my cellar
I've been changing everything around
I've a secret hidden there
I'll guard it with my life
There's only one mistake I made
I told it to my wife

Down in my cellar, down in my cellar
I've been having parties every night
People that I never knew come up and talk to me
They're trying hard to find out where I hang my cellar key

Now everybody wants a key to my cellar, my cellar, my cellar
People who before wouldn't give me a tumble
Even perfect strangers are beginning to grumble
'Cause I won't let them have a key to my cellar
They'll never get in just let them try
They can have my money
They can have my car
They can have my wife
If they want to go that far
But they can't have the key that opens my cellar
If the whole darn world goes dry

First release by: Earl-Jean - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



Woke up this morning feeling fine
There's something special on my mind
Last night I met a new girl in the neighbourhood, whoa yeah
Something tells me I'm into something good
(Something tells me I'm into something)

She's the kind of girl who's not too shy
And I can tell I'm her kind of guy
She danced close to me like I hoped she would
She danced close to me like I hoped she would
Something tells me I'm into something good
(Something tells me I'm into something)

We only danced for a minute or two
But then she stuck close to me the whole night through
Can I be falling in love
She's everything I've been dreaming of
She's everything I've been dreaming of

I walked her home and she held my hand
I knew it couldn't be just a one-night stand
So I asked to see her next week and she told me I could
(I asked to see her and she told me I could)
Something tells me I'm into something good
(Something tells me I'm into something)
(Something tells me I'm into something, ahhh)

I walked her home and she held my hand
I knew it couldn't be just a one-night stand
So I asked to see her next week and she told me I could
(I asked to see her and she told me I could)
Something tells me I'm into something good
(something tells me I'm into something)
Something tells me I'm into something good
(something tells me I'm into something)
To something good, oh yeah, something good
(something tells me I'm into something)
To something good, something good, something good

Performer(s): Mike Bernard;
and various other artists



Oh my dear, don't you hear the latest music hit?
Oh gee! the orchestra is playing it
That is not a Rubenstein composed in F
It's a song from the pen of Mutt and Jeff
Let's two step and dance in old Havana style
Just act like you were made of rubber, chile
Glide along the floor and slide your feet a little bit
That's it

Oh dear hon, won't you nestle to your lovie dove?
Just rest your little hand upon my glove
When I get to going 'round the shiny floor
Babe, I'd just die to dance a little more
Oh, my word I'm full of loving heart complaint
Just place your tootsies where your papa's aint
Then you start to swayin' to the playin' of the band
That's grand!

Everybody two step and grab a girlie girl
Everybody two step and do the twirly whirl
Shake your feet with all your might
Everybody two step and two step right
If you want to two step just like a Polar bear
Everybody does it
Nobody ought to care
Everybody wiggle waggle
Then you make a bow
Everybody two step now

I'm In Touch With Your World


I'm In Touch With Your World
Composer(s): Ric Ocasek
Performer(s): The Cars



You can tuck it on the inside
You can throw it on the floor
You can wave it on the outside
Like you never did before
You get the diplomatic treatment
You get the force fed future
You get the funk after death
You get the wisenheimer brainstorm
I'm in touch with your world
So don't you try to hide it
I'm in touch with your world
And nobody's going to buy it
It's such a lovely way to go
I've been lying on your feathers
You keep talking about the weather
I'm a psilocybin pony
You're a flick fandango phoney
It's a sticky contradiction
It's a thing you call creation
Everything is science fiction
And I ought to know

Everybody Step


Everybody Step
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists



Soon
You'll hear a tune
That's gonna lift you out of your seat
It could be sweeter
But then the meter
Was written especi'lly for your feet
Fly
Away up high
Upon a syncopated balloon
A little ginger
Will never injure
Hear them tuning up
They'll be playing soon

Ev'rybody step
To the syncopated rhythm
Let's be going with 'em
When they begin

You'll be saying, yes sir
The band is grand
He's the best professor
In all the land

Listen to the pep
That emerges from the middle
Of the jazzy fiddle
Under his chin

Oh, what music
The clarineter
Could not be better
Hear that strain
I don't know just what it is but it's great
They simply ruin it
Look at 'em doin' it
Come, come don't hesitate

Ev'rybody step
If you want to see a glutton
When it comes to struttin'
Over the ground

Wait'll you see
My little sweetie and me
Step, step, stepping around

Everybody Sing


Everybody Sing
Composer(s): Nacio Herb Brown; Arthur Freed
Performer(s): Judy Garland;
Erhard Bauschke; Teddy Stauffer



When the whole world seems wrong
just learn the words of a simple song
of blue skies above
be a troubadour and all is love

When April showers stray
the silver lining will come they say
and singin' in the rain's the thing
that those happy days again will bring

So, everybody sing, everybody sing!
Let the sound of your voice turn winter to spring
Everybody's gay, everybody's gay!
Oh, say can't you hear the orchestra play?

Everybody sing, everybody start!
You can't go wrong with a song in your heart
Everybody sing, get into the swing
get happy, everybody sing

Yeah, everybody sing, come on now, everybody sing!
Let the sound of your voice turn winter to spring
Everybody's gay, everybody's gay!
Oh, say can't you hear la-da-de-oo-de-lay-de-lay-o?

Everybody sing, everybody start
You can't go wrong with a song in your heart
Everybody sing, come on now get into that swing
Go Do Re Mi Fa So La Si Do
Do Re Mi Fa So La Si Do
Everybody sing, everybody sing!
Let the sound of your voice turn winter to spring

Sing before breakfast, help the birdies along
Before you have your buttered toast, have a song
Sing before breakfast, never quiet a thing
Before you eat your shredded wheat, sing, sing, sing!

Sing a song of sixpence, pocket full of rye
four and twenty blackbirds baked into a pie
When the pie was opened and set before the king
four and twenty blackbirds started into sing

Sing a melody of love, a song will win your lady fair
Sing a song that mentions love and you will yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi

Sing a song of cheer again
the skies above will be clear again
those happy days are here again
sing a song of cheer again

If you worry, if you fret, if you're getting deep in debt
let your frown turn summerset, get yourself a good quartet

In the evening by the moonlight
you can hear those darkies singin'

Sing good, sing bad
Sing loud, sing soft
Sing sweet, sing hot
Sing!

Everybody sing, everybody sing!
Let the sound of your voice turn winter to spring
Everybody's gay, everybody's gay!
Oh, say can't you hear la-da-de-oo-de-lay-de-lay-o?
Everybody sing, everybody start
You can't go wrong with a song in your heart
Everybody sing, get into the swing
Go Do Re Me Fa So La Si Do
Get Happy, get happy

I'm In The Mood For Love


I'm In The Mood For Love
Composer(s): Dorothy Fields; Jimmy McHugh
Performer(s): Frances Langford
and multiple other artists



Lovely interlude, most romantic mood
And your attitude is right, dear
Sweetheart, you have me under a spell
Now my dream is real, that is why I feel
Such a strong appeal tonight
Somehow, all my reason takes flight, dear...

I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love

Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh, is it any wonder?
I'm in the mood for love

Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid

If there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But, for tonight, forget it
I'm in the mood for love

Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid

If there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But, for tonight, forget it
I'm in the mood for love

Everybody Rag With Me


Everybody Rag With Me
Composer(s): Grace LeBoy; Gus Kahn



What's that sneaky freaky, creepy, melody?
It just takes me, makes me restless as can be
It goes to my heart, my head, my feet
I'll give anybody in the house my seat
I want to dance, dance, dance, dance, dance till I drop
I don't ever want to stop this ragging

Sousa's clever but he never played like this
This just thrills me and it fills me full of bliss
There it goes again! that sweet refrain!
Every note reminds me of an Angel strain!
Come on and dance, dance, dance, dance, then dance some more
We'll wear out this old pine floor completely

Everybody rag with me
Everybody drag with me
I've learned those dips and skips and dreamy hesitations
I could dance till day is dawning
Then I want to dance all morning
Everybody sway with me
Drop your work and play with me
I don't want to hear any opera grand
Ragtime music, that's what I understand!
I want everybody in the world to rag with me

Feel the way my heart keeps thumpin'
Notice how my two eyes shine
See the way my feet keep jumpin'
Jumpin' with joy, I'm some lucky boy

I'm in the seventh heaven
It's easy to guess, my baby said yes
I know I've just thrown a great big seven
For she is the prize, what lips and what eyes

She knows that I've got all the stuff, got all the things
She thinks that I'm angel enough without wings
And that's why I'm in the seventh heaven, heaven
Having a heck of a time

I'm in the seventh heaven
It's easy to guess, my baby said yes
I know I've just thrown a great big seven
For she is a prize, what lips and what eyes

And that's why I'm in the seventh heaven, heaven

Everybody Plays The Fool


Everybody Plays The Fool
Composer(s): James Bailey; Rudy Clark; Kenneth Williams
Performer(s): The Main Ingredient;
and various other artists



Ok, so your hearts broke
You sit around moping, crying, crying
you say you're even thinking about dying
Well, before you do anything rash
Dig this...

Everybody plays the fool sometime
There's no exception to the rule
Listen, baby, it may be factual, may be cruel
I ain't lying, everybody plays the fool
Falling in love is such an easy thing to do
And there's no guarantee that the one you love is gonna love you
Oh, lovin' eyes they cannot see a certain person could never be
Love runs deeper than any ocean
And clouds your mind with emotion
Everybody plays the fool, sometime
They use your heart like a tool
Listen, baby, they never tell you so in school
But everybody plays the fool
And when the music starts to play
And your ability to reason is swept away
Oh, heaven on earth is all you see
You're out of touch with reality
Love runs deeper than any ocean
And clouds your mind with emontion
