It's A Lovely Day Today
It's A Lovely Day Today
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Russell Nype & Galina Talva
and multiple other artists
Male:
It's a lovely day today
So whatever you've got to do
You've got a lovely day to do it in, that's true
And I hope whatever you've got to do
Is something that can be done by two
For I'd really like to stay
It's a lovely day today
And whatever you've got to do
I'd be so happy to be doing it with you
But if you've got something that must be done
And it can only be done by one
There is nothing more to say
Except it's a lovely day for saying
It's a lovely day
Female:
It's a lovely day today
And whatever I've got to do
I've got a lovely day to do it in, that's true
But perhaps whatever I've got to do
Is something that can be done by two
If it is then you could stay
It's a lovely day today
But you're probably busy too
So I suppose there's nothing we can do
For if you've got something that must be done
And it can only be done by one
There is nothing more to say
Except it's a lovely day for saying
It's a lovely day
Male:
It's a lovely day today
If you've something that must get done
Now don't forget two heads are better than just one
And besides I'm certain if you knew me
You'd find I'm very good company
Won't you kindly let me stay?
Both:
It's a lovely day today
And whatever we've got to do
We've got a lovely day to do it in, that's true
And I know whatever we've got to do
Is something that can be done by two
I'll say it's a lovely day for saying
It's a lovely day

A Children's Winter
A Children's Winter
Composer(s): Dermot O'Reilly
Performer(s): Danny O'Flaherty; The Irish Descendants
The winter snow is a child's delight
As it brightens up the winter night
And coats the earth in a cheery white
As it softly drifts upon it
The smiling faces watch the ground
As the snow is falling all around
And through the glass there comes no sound
As the snowflakes melt upon it
Snow Man, Snow House
Hey, play with me
Shake the snow down from the tree
Games once played by you and me
Snow is softly falling
The morning comes and the children play
Their laughter rings out through the day
They hope the snow is here to stay
And it won't be gone tomorrow
Snow Man, Snow House
Hey, play with me
Shake the snow down from the tree
Games once played by you and me
Snow is softly falling
Sliding, running down the hill
The time for fun is now but still
As they climb up life's' long hill
They're sure to meet some sorrow
Snow Man, Snow House
Hey, play with me
Shake the snow down from the tree
Games once played by you and me
Snow is softly falling
Snow Man, Snow House
Hey, play with me
Shake the snow down from the tree
Games once played by you and me
Snow is softly falling

Composer(s): Dana Meyers; William Shelby
Performer(s): The Whispers
It's a love thing
It's a love thing
It's a love thing, thing
The look in your eyes
Is more than enough
To make my poor heart
Burst into flames
Knew from the moment we met
That there was no doubt
That my life would never be the same
I could never hide the feelings
That come over me
When you're near me
I know that's how it's suppose to be
My heart keeps telling me
It's a love thing, yeah
Got me talkin in my sleep
About the love we made
It's a love thing
It's a love thing
Love thing, yeah
Such a feeling I get
Whenever we touch
Girl like no other
I felt before
It's still so new and yet
I need you so much
Got to make you mine
Forever more
You're the kinda woman
That can turn my world around
Cause you show me what
A selfish love is all about
Without a doubt
It's a love thing
I feel that pounding in my heart
When you call my name
It's a love thing
It's a love thing
Love thing, thing
It's a love thing
Every time that you're near
It becomes so clear
It's a love thing
It's a love thing
Love thing, yeah

It's A Long Way Up
It's A Long Way Up
Composer(s): John Annesi; Barry Manilow
Performer(s): Barry Manilow
Once you find what matters in your life
Keep on pushing through the darkness
Till you see the light
You're gonna find it
You're no longer behind it
Once you learn what you've been doing wrong
You can make the change
You need to make to carry on
Now and forever
The sooner the better, just remember now . . .
It's a long way up
When you're coming from nowhere
It's a long way up
When you're coming from nowhere
You got to fight a little harder
You got to push a little more
You got to gamble everything you got
To get you through the door
'Cause it's a long way up
You've been down before but that's okay
You can rest assured
That every dog will have his day
And life is a jungle
But you ain't gonna crumble, remember now . . .
It's a long way up
When you're coming from nowhere
It's a long way up
When you're coming from nowhere
You got to fight a little harder
You got to push a little more
You got to gamble everything you got
To get you through the door
'Cause it's a long way up
Don't give up the dream
Hey don't you know it's dark before the dawn
When you think you just can't take it
That's when you'll make it

Child Of Winter
Child Of Winter
Composer(s): Steve Kalinich - Brian Wilson
Performer(s): The Beach Boys
A child of winter, a child of the snow
I'm making a snowball that someone will throw
I'm making a snowman with charcoal for the eyes
A scarf draped in red and a derby on his head
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus
Right down Santa Claus lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
Are pulling on the reins
Bells are ringing, children singing
All is merry and bright
Hang your stockings and say your prayers
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight
The eve of christmas, presents have been passed
The wood in the fireplace is glowing it's last
I'm closing my eyes now, in my bed I'm snuggling
Outside my window the carolers sing
Christmas comes and the snow covers all
Trees are decorated with tinsel and lights
Mama's in the kitchen making cookies and bread
The children are hungry, they're waiting to be fed
A child of Christmas, a child of snow
A wonderful feeling underneath the mistletoe
And may your Christmas last all year
With laughter of children, peace and cheer
A child of Christmas, a child of snow
A wonderful feeling underneath the mistletoe
Merry Christmas to you
Ding dong ding go the bells

It's A Long Way To Tipperary
Composer(s): Jack Judge; Harry H. Williams
Performer(s): John McCormack
and multiple other artists
Up to mighty London came an Irishman one day
As the streets were paved with gold, sure ev'ry one was gay
Singing songs of Piccadilly, Strand and Leicester Square
Till Paddy got excited, then he shouted to them there
It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly! Farewell Leicester Square!
It's a long, long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there!
Paddy wrote a letter to his Irish Molly O'
Saying "Should you not receive it, write and let me know!
If I make mistakes in spelling, Molly dear", said he
"Remember it's the pen that's bad, don't lay the blame on me"
It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly! Farewell Leicester Square!
It's a long, long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there!
Molly wrote a neat reply to Irish Paddy O'
Saying "Mike Maloney wants to marry me, and so
Leave the Strand and Piccadilly, or you'll be to blame
For love has fairly drove me silly - hoping you're the same!"
It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly! Farewell Leicester Square!
It's a long, long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there!

The end of my friend

And darn near the end of me

The end of my friend

C'est Noël
C'est Noël
Composer(s): Michel Rivard - Claude Meunier
Performer(s): Michel Rivard
C'est Noël car il neige dans la tête
Partout, partout les flocons sont réunis
C'est Noël et pour pas que tu t'embêtes
Voici pour toi ce joli rubis
À minuit nous irons à la messe d'minuit
Pour prier Jésus notre seul n'ami
Et après nous irons chez mon oncle René
Qui paraît qui fait du maudit bon pâté
C'est Noël car il neige dans mon coeur
Les flocons grondent de bonheur
Les sapins entonnent les clameurs
Car dans la crèche ronronne le sauveur
Et après pour digérer le réveillon
Dans le boggey nous te blottirerons
Comme le boeuf dans la crèche du divin poupon
Je soufflerai à travers ton manchon
C'est Noël car il neige sur ma foi
Oui je crois qu'il mourira en croix
C'est Noël et j'espère qu'à minuit
Oh ma chérie, je serai ton seul messie
Oui ma chérie, je serai ton seul messie
Merci beaucoup!

It's A Long Road
Composer(s): Jerry Goldsmith; Hal Shaper
Performer(s): Dan Hill; Tony Anderson
It's a long road
When you're on your own
And it hurts when
They tear your dreams apart
And every new town
Just seems to bring you down
Trying to find peace of mind
Can break your heart
It's a real war
Right outside your front door I tell ya
Out where they'll kill ya
You could use a friend
Where the road is
That's the place for me
Where I'm me in my own space
Where I'm free that's the place
I wanna be
'Cause the road is long yeah
Each step is only the beginning
No breaks just heartaches
Oh man is anybody winning
It's a long road
And it's hard as hell
Tell me what do you do
To survive
When they draw first blood
That's just the start of it
Day and night you gotta fight
To keep alive
It's a long road ...

Et minuit vient de sonner

Cette nuit s'achève
Emportant les rêves
C'est la nuit de Noël
Mais tu ne viendras pas

It's A Lonely World
It’s A Lonely World
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb; Red Stewart
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Leon Redbone
It’s a Lonely World when you’re all alone
When there’s no one to share every sorrow and care
When there’s no one to greet you at the close of the day
The sunshine may come in your heart but never comes to stay
It’s a Lonely World when you’re all alone
That’s the way my world is since your gone
There’s no way to count the tears I have shed
And nights I’ve been blue here just thinking of you
Everyone has told me darling I should forget
But your still here in my heart and you know I love you yet
It’s a Lonely World when you’re all alone
That’s the way my world is since your gone
It’s a Lonely World when you’re all alone
When there’s no one to share every sorrow and care
When there’s no one to greet you at the close of the day
The sunshine may come in your heart but never comes to stay
It’s a Lonely World when you’re all alone
That’s the way my world is since your gone

Performer(s): Doris Day
and multiple other artists
Take me in your arms
Before you take your love away
Take me in your arms
Before we part
Let me thrill again
To your cares of yesterday
Let me fill again
My hungry heart
One hour of gladness
That we knew in the past
One moment's madness
Although it be the last, hold me fast
Blind me with your charms
With all the stardust in the sky
Take me in your arms
And then goodbye

It's A Little Bitty Pissant Country Place
It's A Little Bitty Pissant Country Place
Performer(s): Dolly Parton
It's just a little bitty pissant country place, ain't nothing much to see
no drinking allowed, we get a nice quiet crowd, plain as it can be
It's just a piddly squatin old time country place, ain't nothing to hide at all
just lots of good will, and maybe one small thrill, but there's nothing dirty going on
Nothing dirty going on
We get simple farmers
Local business men
Congress folks from Austin
Young boys looking for sin
And we used to get a lot of rough necks, when the oil boom was high
but pay day would get a little rowdy, thank God the field ran dry
It's just a little bitty pissant country place, nothing much to see
no drinking allowed, we get a nice quiet crowd, plain as it can be
It's just a piddly squatin no time country place, nothing to hide at all
just lots of good will, and maybe one small thrill, but there's nothing dirty going on
I don't hire no married girl, they're not on the ball
They got homes and husbands, they're not stable at all
You know they don't understand a thing about a proper business day
now what's the point in opening up the store if you give the goods away
It's just a little bitty pissant country place, nothing much to see
no drinking allowed, we get a nice quiet crowd, plain as it can be
It's just a piddly squatin no time country place, nothing to hide at all
just lots of good will, and maybe one small thrill, but there's nothing dirty going on
Keep your language clean girls, keep your bedrooms neat
And don't hang around the town cafe and say hi on the street
Mind you P's and Q's and manners, and you don't need no other tools
Cause every girl that lives here knows my special no no rules
Yea every girl that lives here knows Miss Mona's no no rules
Ruby, Ray start up!
Beds are not to be wallowed in, thats the kind of thing that big fatlazy hogs do
And it don't make money!
Betrix!
I won't tolerate no tying my telephone with other peoples business
Eloise honey!
And please don't show us no tattoos no hearts and flowers on your thigh
It's downright tacky
Brands for cattle and that ain't what we're selling at the Snowdust
Do you catch my drift!
I pay the food and the rent and the utilities
you keep your mind on your work responsibilities
don't let your mouth overload your capabilities
and we can get along
Dawn!
Any bad habits you come in with, get rid off right now
Tatte Joe!
I can't stand no chewing gum it looks just like a cow
Lindy Lue!
Any one taking sick leave for to make real sure their sick
And every time you hear that bell, you better get here double quick
And as for pimps, pimps are something you don't need to get your daily business done
Are you listening group
Keep them leaches and blood suckers of the bathrobes, I know how to use a gun
and nobody messes with my girls
and any questions you might have about the way I run this place
don't grip and whine behind my back
just tell me face to face, I'm open minded say it all
then go upstairs and pack, the door's that way
She pays the food and the rent and the utilities
we keep our minds on our work responsibilities
don't let your mouth overload your capabilities
and we can get along
It's just a little bitty pissant country place, nothing much to see
no drinking allowed, we get a nice quiet crowd, plain as it can be
It's just a piddly squatin no time country place, nothing to hide at all
just lots of good will, and maybe one small thrill, but there's nothing dirty going on

All across the land they chime
Heralding this happy time
