First release by: The Clash - 1982
Covered by multiple other artists
Darling you gotta let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
I'll be here 'til the end of time
So you got to let know
Should I stay or should I go?
Always tease tease tease
Siempre - coqetiando y enganyando
You're happy when I'm on my knees
Me arrodilla y estas feliz
One day is fine, next is black
Un dias bien el otro negro
So if you want me off your back
Al rededar en tu espalda
Well come on and let me know
Me tienes que desir
Should I Stay or should I go?
Me debo ir o que darme
Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
An' if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know
This indecision's bugging me
Esta undecision me molesta
If you don't want me, set me free
Si no me quieres, librame
Exactly who'm I'm supposed to be
Diga me que tengo ser
Don't you know which clothes even fit me?
Saves que robas me querda?
Come on and let me know
Me tienes que desir
Should I cool it or should I blow?
Me debo ir o quedarme?
Should I stay or should I go now?
Yo me frio o lo sophlo?
If I go there will be trouble
Si me voi - va ver peligro
And if I stay it will be double
Si me quedo es doble
So you gotta let me know
Me tienes que decir
Should I stay or should I go?
Yo me frio o lo sophlo?

I swore when he hurt me so
I wouldn't see him anymore
But today he called my name
Ooh, I could feel the same old flame
Should I do it
Should I fall
Should I do it
After all
Is it crazy, is it right
I really wanna love him tonight
Should I do it
Should I play
Can I help it anyway
When I feel him hold me tight
I'm gonna turn on like a light
I know when we're in his car
I couldn't go just so far
I wanna give him everything
So, when I hear the telephone ring, yeah
Should I do it
Should I fall
Should I do it
After all
Is it crazy, is it right
I really wanna love him tonight
Should I do it
Should I play
Can I help it anyway
When I feel him hold me tight
I'm gonna turn on like a light
Oh, I'm so lonely and he's so fine
Maybe I should swallow my pride
Just one, one, one more time, yeah
Baby, I've got to know
Should I do it
Should I fall
Should I do it
After all
Is it crazy, is it right
I really wanna love him tonight

The Star Carol
The Star Carol
Composer(s): Wihla Hutson; Alfred S. Burt
Performer(s): Peggy Lee;
and various other artists
Long years ago on a deep winter night
High in the heav'ns a star shone bright
While in a manger a wee baby lay
Sweetly asleep on a bed of hay
Jesus, the Lord was that baby so small
Laid down to sleep in a humble stall
Then came the star and it stood overhead
Shedding its light 'round His little bed
Dear Baby Jesus how tiny Thou art
I'll make a place for Thee in my heart
And when the stars in the heavens I see
Ever and always I think of Thee

The Spirit Of Christmas
The Spirit Of Christmas
Composer(s): Liz Anderson
First recording/First release by: Liz Anderson - 1967
Covered by: Lynn Anderson - 1971
Oh hear the chimes ringing, it’s Christmas again
With tidings of peace and good will to all men
So greet every stranger and make him your friend
For that is the spirit of Christmas
(Christmas time … oh Christmas
listen there’s bells in your heart)
This I know: love must flow
For love is the spirit of Christmas
In Bethlehem’s manger in years long grown dim
The Christ child was born so our love He might win
So open your heart out and let him come in
For He is the spirit of Christmas
(Christmas time … oh Christmas
listen there’s bells in your heart)
This I know: love must flow
For love is the spirit of Christmas
Love is the spirit of Christmas

A Song For Donny
A Song For Donny
((Adapted from: This Christmas (by Donny Hathaway) - 1971))
Composer(s): Donny Hathaway; Nadine McKinnor; Carrie Lucas
Performer(s): The Whispers - 1979
People speak your name
And think what a shame you're gone
Still they know
What you've left behind
Lives in our hearts and minds
Today and tomorrow
The clouds of darkness came your way
You've given us a brighter day
And your music will be
So very, very special to me
Sometimes wealth and fame
Whispered, "Play my game"
But you, yes, you refused to
Genius touched your soul
Fortune not your gold
God's gift is what changed you
A voice like silk would weave your spell
And words of life, oh, only you tell
And your music is gonna be
Very, very special to me
In life's fleeting glance
Few have met the chance to give
All they can
And though short you stay
Before you went away with them
Now you stand
Listening to your sounds of joy
I thank one shy, ghetto boy
And your music will always be
So very, very special to me
Said I love you, Donny
And you're gonna always be
Very, very, very special to me
Gonna miss one shy, little ghetto boy
This is a song for you
Said I love you, Donny, and I miss you, Donny
You're gonna always be a friend to me
Miss you, Donny
Yeah, I miss you, Donny

Alone Again (Naturally)
Alone Again (Naturally)
((Dutch Version: 1948 (by Gerard Cox) - 1972))
Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
First release by: Gilbert O'Sullivan - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists
In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to whoever
What it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Where people saying: "My God, that's tough"
"She stood him up"
"No point in us remaining"
"We may as well go home"
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play ?
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God in His mercy
Who if He really does exist
Why did He desert me?
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally
It seems to me that there are more hearts
Broken in the world that can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do? What do we do?
Alone again, naturally
Looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally

Shotgun Boogie
Shotgun Boogie
Composer(s): Tennessee Ernie Ford
First release by: Tennessee Ernie Ford - 1950
Covered by multiple other artists
There it stands in the corner with the barrel so straight
I looked out the window and over the gate
The big, fat rabbits are a-jumpin' in the grass
Wait'll they hear my old shotgun blast
Shotgun Boogie, I done saw your tracks
Look out Mr. Rabbit when I cock my hammer back
Well, over on the ridge is a scaly bark
Hick'ry nuts so big you can see 'em in the dark
The big fat squirrels they scratch and they bite
I'll be on that ridge before daylight
Shotgun Boogie, all I need is one shot
Look out bushy tail, tonight you'll be in the pot
Well, I met a pretty gal, she was tall and thin
I asked her what she had, she said: "A Fox Four-Ten"
I looked her up and down and said: "Boy, this is love"
So we headed for the brush to shoot a big fat dove
Shotgun Boogie, boy the feathers flew
Look out Mister Dove when she draws a bead on you
I sat down on a log, took her on my lap
She said, "Wait a minute, bub, you got to see my Pap
He's got a sixteen-gauge choked down like a rifle
He don't like a man that's a-gonna trifle"
Shotgun Boogie, draws a bead so fine
Look out big boy, he's loaded all the time
Well, I called on her Pap like a gentleman oughta
He said: "No brush hunter's gonna get my daughter"
He cocked back the hammer right on the spot
When the gun went off, I outran the shot
Shotgun Boogie, I wanted wedding bells
I'll be back little gal, when your pappy runs out of shells

The Secret Of Giving
The Secret Of Giving
Composer(s): Rick Bowles; Sunny Russ
Performer(s): Reba McEntire
In this life we all go through hard times
When we struggle and pray for a lifeline
Just needing someone
To show us the way
To you the glass might seem half empty
But it's half full to those without any
So hold on to hope
And try to have faith
Oh, you've got to have faith
If there's just one secret to living
Whoever you are
It's learning the meaning of giving
With an open heart
With an open heart
If you offer the best part of yourself
Even when you don't have anything else
Honest and true
It'll come back to you
Love comes back to you
If there's just one secret to living
Whoever you are
It's learning the meaning of giving
With an open heart
With an open heart
With your arms wide open
The world opens wide
And you'll believe it deep inside
That there's just one secret to living
Whoever you are
It's finding that true joy in giving
With an open heart
With an open heart

The Secret Of Christmas
The Secret Of Christmas
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Jimmy Van Heusen
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis;
and various other artists
It's not the glow you feel when snow appears
It's not the Christmas cards you've sent for years
Not the joyful sound when sleighbells ring
Or the merry song children sing
That little gift you send on Christmas Day
Will not bring back the friend you've turned away
So may I suggest the Secret of Christmas
Is not the things you do at Christmas time
But the Christmas things you do all year through

Composer(s): Hank Snow; Charlie "Peanut" Faircloth; Cordia Volkmar
Performer(s): Hank Snow;
Trisha Yearwood; Dan Neale
Santa had a cup of coffee and he ate a little snack
Thru his pack right over his back
Open the windows of his little shack
And Shouted Oh Dasher and Dancer
Vixen and Blitzen come on here
Were gonna get a-going and spread some cheer
So limber your legs and sharpen your hooves
'Cause tonight is the night were gonna jump on the roof
Well the reindeer they were so proud and grand
To take another trip all over the land
They jumped right into thier proper place
To get hepped up for that midnight race
Ol' Santa he shook off the ice and snow
Boarded his sleigh and then yelled "Lets go!"
All the little toys were happy too cause they were so bright and new
A little piano then started to play
Oh Santa began to swing and sway
Thought he heard a toy drum starting to beat
But he found it was just the rhythm of the reindeer feet
The reindeer boogied in the middle of the road
Tonight we have a mighty big load
Dont boogie to the left, now boogie to the right
Do the reindeer boogie this Christmas eve night

Shot Down In The Night
Shot Down In The Night
Composer(s): Steve Swindells
Performer(s): Hawkwind; Steve Swindells
Numbers called as they're waiting in a line
Camouflaged like a jungle snake
Acting tough, just enough
'Til they start to break
Then they're off with a rush of adrenalin
Holding on to a world unseen
The only sound is the pumping of the great machine
The secret's only for a few
Superpower looks down on you
Someone's watching every move
You can break the lock and turn on the light
You know your danger feelings are right
Try to run or put up a fight
You'll be shot down in the night
Shot down like an animal
See them run like rats from the factory
Push them out to the twilight zone
Let them feed on their needs
'Til they're overthrown
Take them up to a place in the gallery
Show them God with an angel face
Curtain call for the fall
Of the Human race
Play it straight and it seems like a mystery
Tell the truth and it sounds like lies
Looking down at the ground
With your angry eyes
Play the game and you'll see there's a difference
Join the ranks and you'll get your kicks
See the world, and the girls, and the dirty tricks
The secret's only for a few
Superpower looks down on you
Someone's watching every move
You can break the lock and turn on the light
You know your danger feelings are right
Try to run or put up a fight
You'll be shot down in the night
Shot down like an animal

Shorty George
Shorty George
Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Fred Astaire, Rita Hayworth, Quinn Lemley
Just heard of the Shorty George
Got word of the Shorty George
Seems that it's a kind of jig
Named for someone about so big
He rambles around the town
Preambles around the town
Then stops on a crowded street
'n beats his feet till his feet is beat
Watch him go! - and he can -
Like a real - nach'-l man
High Stepper is Shorty George
Black pepper is Shorty George
He dances to pay the rent
And to see that you're solid sent
Mister can you spare a penny?
Lady can you spare a dime?
He makes, I don't know how many
'Cause he's dancin' all the time.
Popa's dressed up mighty sporty
Momma's snooz-in' in the shade
But while mommas's catchin' "forty"
Shorty sees the rent is paid
Get hip to the Shorty George
Hop, skip to the "Shorty George"
Directions are short and sweet
Beat your feet till your feet is beat
So catch-on to "Shorty George"
And latch onto "Shorty George"
Good people I'm tellin' you
"Shorty George" is the dance to do
