It's A Mystery
It's A Mystery
Composer(s): Bob Seger
Performer(s): Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
It's a myst'ry, how the heart beats
How the sun shines, how our eyes meet
It's a myst'ry, it's a wonder
How we keep from sinkin' under
It's a myst'ry
All the nonsense set before us
Supposed to shock us, but it bores us
All the ennui, all the replays
All the rewrites, all the "can't says"
It's a myst'ry
Electron guns fire images
They end in interstellar space
Within the year
And through it all
We dance and starve
And burn and clear
It's a myst'ry how they con us
How they sneak 'til they're upon us
All the anchors with their helmets
Getting ratings with their zealots
All the pundits, all the salesmen
Selling snake oil to the nation
All the specials, every re-run
All the penguins getting well done
It's a myst'ry
It's a myst'ry how the heart beats
How the sun shines, how our eyes meet
It's a myst'ry, it's a wonder
How we ever find each other
It's a myst'ry

Covered by multiple other artists
When I was but a youngster, Christmas meant one thing
That I'd be getting lots of toys that day
I learned a whole lot diff'rent when Mother sat me down
And taught me to spell Christmas this way
"C" is for the Christ Child born upon this day
"H" for herald angels in the night
"R" means our Redeemer
"I" means Israel
"S" is for the star that shone so bright
"T" is for the tree wise men
They who travelled far
"M" is for the manger where He lay
"A" is for all He stands for
"S" means shepherds came
And that's why there's a Christmas Day

It's A Musical World
It's A Musical World
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse; Anthony Newley
Performer(s): Anthony Newley; Petula Clark; Sammy Davis Jr.
The world is made of music
Never any symphony
The sound surrounds
Miracles of melody
Are bound around us too
It's a musical world
Such a musical world
Listen to the rhythm
Of a storm in summer
Hear the mellow melody
When church bells chime
"Once upon a time"
It's a musical world
Such a beautiful world
Ding, dong, sing a song of spring and summer
Bring some summer song and opera new
I love music, and I know that you do too
It's a musical world
Such a beautiful world
Yeah...
The world was made for music
Everything contributes to the rare concerto
Elephants and butterflies have their concertos too
It's a beautiful world
It's a musical world
Listen to the music of a lonely seashore
Hear a certain company to speak up for
Make it have an orchestra where every sound belongs
It's a musical world
Such a beautiful world
Ding, dong, sing a song of spring and summer
Sing some summer song and opera new
I love music, and I know that you do too
Yeah...
It's a musical world
[Fade to End]
I love music, and I know that you to too
Yeah...
It's a musical world
Such a beautiful world

That's The Way It Goes
That's The Way It Goes
Composer(s): Sidney Robin - Alec Wilder
Performer(s): Peggy Lee
That's the way it goes
No one ever knows
Just like that, it only took a minute
And I belong to you
You can never tell
That's how fast I fell
I just thought that there was nothing in it
But that is far from true
Now I thought that I was clever
You couldn't take me by surprise
But I found I'd be in love forever
The moment I looked in your eyes
That's the way it goes
No one ever knows
Here's my heart and you deserve to win it
For that's the way it goes

It's A Most Unusual Play
It's A Most Unusual Play
Composer(s): Harold Adamson; Jimmy McHugh
Performer(s): Allan Sherman
It's a most unusual play
Feel like throwing my tickets away
'Cause the boy gets the boy
And the girl gets the girl
And it's way too far off Broadway
It's a most unusual plot
Which I've either blocked out or forgot
I don't know what it means
But they all wear blue jeans
And they scratch themselves quite a lot
There's no scenery, there's no lighting
There's no costumes; oh, what art!
If there only were no house lights
I would sneak up the aisle and depart
There's a most unusual scene
Where this man dates this Xerox machine
So his girlfriend gets mad
And she murders the cad
To the tune of "Begin the Beguine"
In this most unusual, most unusual, most unusual play
Oh, the language is a bit loose
It's decidedly not Mother Goose
Outside on the marquee
This quotation you'll see
"I was shocked!" and it's signed Lenny Bruce
It's a play where something went wrong
'Cause it's five hours, twelve minutes long
If you sit there, my friend
From beginning to end
Then your bladder better be strong
There are people hitting people
There's a couple in a cage
There's neurotics, there's narcotics
And the bathroom is right on the stage!
It's a great big critical smash
And it's raking in all kinds of cash
But the theater's appalling
With things that are crawling
I think I am getting a rash
From this most unusual, most unusual, most unusual play

That's The Story Of My Life
Composer(s): Lou Reed

It's A Most Unusual Day
It's A Most Unusual Day
Composer(s): Harold Adamson; Jimmy McHugh
Performer(s): Jane Powell
and multiple other artists
It's a most unusual day
Feel like throwing my worries away
As an old native-born Californian would say
It's a most unusual day
There's a most unusual sky
Not a sign of a cloud passing by
And if I want to sing, throw my heart in the ring
It's a most unusual day
There are people meeting people
There is sunshine everywhere
There are people greeting people
And a feeling of Spring in the air
It's a most unusual time
I keep feeling my temperature climb
If my heart won't behave in the usual way
Well, there's only one thing to say
It's a most unusual day
There are people meeting people
There is sunshine everywhere
There are people greeting people
And a feeling of Spring in the air
I keep feeling my temperature climb, climb, climb, climb, climb, climb, climb
Till there is only one thing to say
It's a most, most, most, most, most unusual, most unusual
Most unusual day
Most unusual day

The Greatest Gift Of All
The Greatest Gift Of All
Composer(s): John Barlow Jarvis
Performer(s): Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers;
and various other artists
Kenny:
Dawn is slowly breaking, our friends have all gone home
You and I are waiting for Santa Claus to come
There's a present by the tree, stockings on the wall
Knowing you're in love with me is the greatest gift of all
Dolly:
The fire is slowly fading, chill is in the air
All the gifts are waiting for children everywhere
Through the window I can see snow begin to fall
Knowing you're in love with me is the greatest gift of all
Both:
Just before I go to sleep, I hear a church bell ring
Merry Christmas everyone is the song it sings
So I say a silent prayer for creatures great and small
Peace on earth, good will to men is the greatest gift of all
Peace on earth, good will to men is the greatest gift of all

This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
You see, mn made the cars to take us over the road
Man made the trains to carry heavy loads
Man made electric light to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark
This is a man's, a man's, a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
Man thinks about a little baby girls and a baby boys
Man makes then happy 'cause man makes them toys
And after man has made everything, everything he can
You know that man makes money to buy from other man
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
He's lost in the world of man
He's lost in bitterness

Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth

E se ti stanco solo
Stando vicino a te
Se mi vuoi bene bene bene
Oh no
Non mi devi lasciar
Ho bisogno di te...
Anche se tu pensi
Che per nulla
Ho buttato via
Per fare un po' di musica
La tua vita e la mia

Avra' tutto cambiato
E anche quando saprai
Che niente serve a niente
Se mi vuoi bene

Dis, si tu m'aimes encore
Dis, si tu m'aimes encore
Ne me laisse jamais
jamais tout seul, je t'aime trop!
Même si tu crois qu'on n'a plus rien à se dire
Et même si le temps passé a fait passer notre désir
Même si tu te rends compte que tu me hais parfois
Même si je te fatigue, simplement parce que je suis là
Dis si tu m'aimes, m'aimes, m'aimes encore
Ne me laisse jamais, non jamais tout seul
Je t'aime trop!
Même si tu penses que j'ai détruit de mes mains
Ma vie pour ma musique et la tienne pour rien
Même quand l'hiver de l'âge aura flétri nos corps
Et même lorsque tu sauras que rien ne sert à rien
Dis, si tu m'aimes encore
Ne me laisse jamais, non jamais, tout seul
Je t'aime trop!
Je t'aime, dis mon pauvre amour
Je t'aime et ne sais pas le dire
Je t'aime {ad lib}

That's Old Fashioned (That's The Way Love Should Be)
Composer(s): Bill Giant - Bernie Baum - Florence Kaye
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers
We hold hands in the movie show
So they say that we’re old fashioned
Or we stroll beneath the silv’ry moon, oo-oo-oo-oon
And we carve our initials in the old oak tree
That’s old fashioned, that’s the way love should be
We enjoy sitting side by side
In the booth in the ice cream parlor
Where we play the nickelodeon, ah-ah-ah-ahn
And we dance when we hear our favorite melody
That’s old fashioned, that’s the way love should be
It’s a modern changing world
Everything is moving fast
But when it comes to love I like
What they did in the past
I’m the kind who loves only one
So the boys say I’m old fashioned
Let them laugh, honey I don’t mi-i-i-i-ind
I’ve made plans for a wedding day for you and me
That’s old fashioned, that’s the way love should be
