It'll Come Back
It'll Come Back
Composer(s): Glenn Martin
Performer(s): Red Sovine
On our little girls' third birthday
She got a sandbox in the backyard to play
Sand was everywhere as she played and she laughed
I fussed at her for it killed all my grass
It'll come back ...
It'll come back ...
Daddy dont be mad
God and the rain will bring it back
When our little girl just turned ten
She got a bike to ride with all her friends
She skinned both her knees as she played and she laughed
I fussed at her for it killed all my grass
When our little girl turned seventeen
We built her a pool in the backyard that spring
All her friends came and they swam and they splashed
I fussed at her for it killed all my grass
My wife and I sit on the porch all alone
As I look out across at my beautiful lawn
The house is quiet there's no children at play
And I said to my wife
"Honey, if you'll listen real close
You can still hear her say"
It'll come back (It'll come back)
It'll come back (It'll come back)
Daddy don't be mad
God and the rain will bring it back
It'll come back (It'll come back)
It'll come back (It'll come back)
Daddy don't be mad
God and the rain will bring it back

Blue Christmas
Blue Christmas
Composer(s): Jay W. Johnson; Billy Hayes
First release by: Doye O'Dell - 1948
Covered by multiple other artists
I'll have a Blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing, if you're not here with me
And when those blue snowflakes start fallin'
That's when those blue memories start callin'
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas
I'll have a Blue Christmas that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue, blu, blue Christmas

If you hear somebody knockin' on your door

And if you see somebody climbin' up a telegraph pole
If you find a new lump in your sugar bowl
Baby it'll be me, I'll be looking for you
I'm gonna look in the mountains
Down in the deep blue sea
I'm gonna look in the forest
And look and look in every tree
If you find a new bait on your fishin' hook
And if you find a funny face in your comic book
Baby it'll be me I'll be lookin' for you
(Well, keep on lookin')
I'm gonna look in the cities
Where the lights are blue
Gonna search the country side
And the haystacks too
Well if you see something shootin' out across the stars
If you see a rocket ship in it's way to Mars
Baby it'll be me
Yeah I'll be lookin' for you
I'll be lookin' for you
Well, I'll be lookin' for you

(Danish Version: Det Ku' Ha' Været Mig - 1984)
Composer(s): Jack Clement; Michel Mallory
Performer(s): Johnny Halliday - 1975
Si quelqu'un frappe à ta porte à minuit
Si ton téléphone sonne toute la nuit
Ma chérie, c'est moi
Et j'ai besoin d'amour
Et si tu trouves quelqu'un de caché sous tes draps
Sous ton lit et sous ta porte
Ma chérie, c'est moi
Et j'ai besoin d'amour
Ne sois pas cruelle
Et ouvre-moi ton lit
Dehors la nuit, il gèle
Ne me laisse pas sous la pluie
Si tu entends une voix à la radio
Si, à la télé, tu vois un gars très, très beau
Ma chérie, c'est moi
Et j'ai besoin d'amour
Let's go!
Si tu croises dans tes rêves, un héros
Qui t'embrasse et qui t'enlève en moto
Ma chérie, c'est moi
Et j'ai besoin d'amour
Si quelqu'un, à ta fenêtre vient frapper
Toi qui habites au quinzième, ne sois pas étonnée
Ma chérie, c'est moi
Et j'ai besoin d'amour
Ne sois pas cruelle
Et laisse-moi entrer
Ou sinon j'appelle
Et je réveille tout le quartier
Si quelqu'un frappe à ta porte à minuit
Si ton téléphone sonne toute la nuit
Ma chérie, c'est moi
Et j'ai besoin d'amour
Ma chérie, c'est moi
Et j'ai besoin d'amour

Bill And Sally
Bill And Sally
Composer(s): Bill & Sally
(Sally)
Bill get out of bed!
There's a burglar in the shed
Someone's making noise and there's a light
William raise your head
Did you hear what I said?
Careful now in case they have a knife
(Bill)
Sally go to sleep
It's a couple from the street
They had nowhere to go to lay their head
They'd been sleeping on the road
Cos they had no place to go
I told them they could bunk down in the shed
(Sally)
Bill get out of bed
There's a crying in the shed
The things you said now sound a little crazy
(Bill)
Well they had no kids last night
Least none that were in sight
I guess the woman went and had her baby
(Sally)
Bill get out of bed!
Did I hear what you said?
Are you telling me the woman was in labour?
(Bill)
Well there was no room inside
With all your rellies and their pride
I was gonna tell you all about it later
(Sally)
Bill get out of bed
There's lots of people in the shed
Some look rich and some as poor can be
See them through the open door
Kneeling on the garage floor
Why don't you take them out a steaming pot of tea
(Bill)
Sally what's that light?
A flame up in the night
Like a laser beam there shining through the mist
Is it something 'bout my sight or something else out there tonight?
Just wait 'til I tell young Johnno about this!

First release by: Small Faces - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
Over bridge of sighs
To rest my eyes in shades of green
Under dreamin' skies
To Itchycoo Park, that's where I've been
What did you do there?
I got high
What did you feel there?
Well I cried
But why the tears then?
I'll tell you why
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
Feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up feeding ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nicer than fun in the sun
Tell you what I'll do (what will you do?)
I'd like to go there now with you
You can miss out school (won't that be cool)
While I learn about the words of fools
What will we do there?
We'll get high
What will you touch there?
Touch the sky
But why the tears then?
I'll tell you why
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up feeding ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nicer than fun in the sun
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
Ha! It's all too beautiful

Bells Will Be Ringing
Bells Will Be Ringing
Performer(s): Bon Jovi
Bells will be ringing, the glad, glad news
Oh, what a Christmas, to have the blues
My baby's gone
I have no friends
To wish me greetings, once again
Choirs will be singing, Silent Night
Oh, Christmas Carols, by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas, by New Year's Night
Friends and relations
Send salutations
Just as sure as the stars shine above
This is Christmas, Christmas my dear
The time of year to be with the one that you love
Then will you tell me, you'll never more roam
Christmas and New Year will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow
No grief or pain
'Cause I'll be happy that it's Christmas once again

Itchy Twitchy Feeling
Composer(s): Jimmy Oliver
Performer(s): Bobby Hendricks
and multiple other artists
Sittin' here wonderin' what it's all about
This rock and roll music that makes you shout
You tune in on Bandstand and they're jumpin' like mad
And they're dancin' they are doin', they don't look bad
You get that itchy twitchy feeling (itchy twitchy feeling)
You start-a rockin' and a-reelin' (rockin' and a-reelin')
Soon your arms and legs are flappin'
Like a hound dog mouth a-yappin'
You're-a rockin' and a-rollin'
You don't understand it but it sure feels nice
You thought you might try it 'bout-a once or twice
You started with the dance they call the stroll
But you felt much better doin' rock and roll
You get that itchy twitchy feeling (itchy twitchy feeling)
You start-a rockin' and a-reelin' (rockin' and a-reelin')
Soon your arms and legs are flappin'
Like a hound dog mouth a-yappin'
You're-a rockin' and a-rollin'
You come in the house with your hair on end
Nobody had to ask you where you been
You come in the house you're still a-jumpin' like mad
I've seen a lot of people with it but you got it bad
You get that itchy twitchy feeling (itchy twitchy feeling)
You start-a rockin' and a-reelin' (rockin' and a-reelin')
Soon your arms and legs are flappin'
Like a hound dog mouth a-yappin'
You're-a rockin' and a-rollin'
I don't understand it what you're goin' about
It must be something 'bout this music that I don't know
I went to a hop and it didn't take long
I got the feelin' somethin' was a goin' wrong
You get that itchy twitchy feeling (itchy twitchy feeling)
You start-a rockin' and a-reelin' (rockin' and a-reelin')
Soon your arms and legs are flappin'
Like a hound dog mouth a-yappin'
You're-a rockin' and a-rollin'
Soon your arms and legs are flappin'
Like a hound dog mouth a-yappin'
You're-a rockin' and a-rollin'
Soon your arms and legs are flappin'
Like a hound dog mouth a-yappin'
You're-a rockin' and a-rollin'

Behold A Branch Is Growing
Behold A Branch Is Growing
Behold a branch is growing
of lov'liest form and grace
as prophets sung, foreknowing
it springs from Jesse's race
and bears one little flow'r
in midst of coldest winter
at deepest midnight hour
Isaiah hath foretold it
in words of promise sure
and Mary's arms enfold it
a virgin meek and pure
Thro' God's eternal will
this child to her is given
at midnight calm and still
O savior, child of Mary
who felt our human woe
O savior, king of glory
who dost our weakness know
bring us at length, we pray
to the bright courts of heaven
and to the endless day

Bedtime For Toys
Bedtime For Toys
Composer(s): Ron Miller; Orlando Murden
Performer(s): Stevie Wonder
Close your eyes, beddy bye tin soldier
Mommy says that it's time for sleep
If my folks were wiser and older
They'd know kids and toys don't need sleep
Don't be bad little cotton dolly
See how nice Mickey Mouse sleeps now?
Even my brass drummer boy has stopped all his noise
'Cause he knows it's past bedtime for toys
Ya know, every Christmas Santa Claus goes all over the world with his reindeer
sled, and a big bag of toys and he'll come to your house this year too
But sometimes, just sometimes, he doesn't have enough time to see
every little boy and girl because the world is so big
So maybe we should sing a song for all the children that Santa didn't visit
Bless the child who has no tin soldier
No brass drummer boy to put to bed
He will still grow wiser and older
Loving one small rag doll instead
He won't have a cotton dolly
Mickey Mouse won't come to his house
Hold that rag doll to your heart, nothing can destroy
The beauty one shall find in one small toy

Performer(s): Dalida
Anytime that I`m feeling love
There`s a place that I love to go
A little castle in the sky
Where I can watch the world go by
A restaurant beneath the stars
With mandolines and soft guitarres
You meet the high life and the low
The most amusing place I know
When it`s time to wine and dine
There`s a favorite place of mine
Ring the Maître D'
Ask if maybe he
Can have a table free at nine
He`ll be there to welcome me
To this crazy comedy
Where the rich and famous love to be
You see the clientele walk in
And watch the cabaret begin
It`s such a special place to be
There is so much that you can see
You see the lover`s deep in dreams
And those who querrel making scenes
You see a maestro and the clown
And all the famous from the town
When it`s time to wine and dine
There`s a favorite place of mine
Ring the Maître D'
And ask if maybe he
Can have a table free at nine
He`ll be there to welcome me
To this crazy comedy
Where the rich and famous love to be
The pretty lady who appears
Is trying hard to hide the years
The gigolo who walks behind
Is only mindy on his mind
The movie star will always pose
To get the maximum applause
It`s like a circus everywhere
And so exciting to be there
When it`s time to wine and dine
There`s a favorite place of mine
Ring the Maître D'
And ask if maybe he
Can have a table free at nine
He`ll be there to welcome me
To this crazy comedy
Where the rich and famous love to be
My Italian restaurant
Gives me everything I want
La la la..
My Italian restaurant
Won`t you come along with me
To this crazy comedy
Where the rich and famous love to be

Italian Girls
Composer(s): Rod Stewart; Ron Wood
Performer(s): Rod Stewart
I've got two and more to show
I was dreaming of a mobile
that couldn't be mine not without lyin'
Was I feeling kind a silly
when I stepped in soakin' beer down the cola machine
Oh, stayin' seventeen
Well she claimed she was a killer
and she owned a flood lit villa
a little aways from the main highway
Oh take me way down yonder
She was tall, thin and tarty
and she drove a Maserati
faster than sound
I was heaven bound
Although I must have looked a creep
in my army surplus jeep
Was I being too bold
before the night could get old
No, no, no, no
She proved me so wrong
Oh the Italian girls sometimes hold their religious habits
in front of your eyes, just to get you tied
Ah but not my little Bella 'cause I did not have to tell her
I'd rather you go with the morning sun, she made me so tired
She took me way, way, away down yonder
till I was gone with the morning sun on my back
Gotta get on back there soon as I can
Take me there
And I miss the girl so bad
She broke my heart
Gotta get on back there soon as I can
I miss the girl, I miss the girl, I miss the girl so bad
I was a lot better off

Tonight the stars shine for the children
And light the way for dreams to fly
Tonight our love comes wrapped in ribbons

Tonight belongs to all the children
Tonight their joy rings through the air
And so, we send our tender blessings
To all the children ev'rywhere
To see the smiles and hear the laughter
A time to give, a time to share
Because it's Christmas

Tonight belongs to all the children
Tonight their joy rings through the air
And so, we send our tender blessings

I could wander the byways, rewander too
But it wouldn't be the same without you

I could start my life over with somebody new

But I'd do it again, if I had the chance
I could start my life over with somebody new
But it wouldn't be the same without you
