Slim Slow Slider
Composer(s): Van Morrison
First release by: Van Morrison - 1968
Slim slow slider
Horse you ride
White as snow
Slim slow slider
Horse you ride
Is white as snow
Tell it everywhere you go
Saw you walking
Down by Ladbroke Grove this morning
Saw you walking
Down by Ladbroke Grove this morning
Catching pebbles for some sandy beach
You're out of reach
Saw you early this morning
With your brand new boy and your Cadillac
Saw you early this morning
With your brand new boy and your Cadillac
You're gone for something
And I know you won't be back
I know you're dying, baby
And I know you know it, too
I know you're dying
And I know you know it, too
Everytime I see you
I just don't know what to do

Rest your weary head and let your heart decide

Power To All Our Friends
Composer(s): Guy Fletcher; Doug Flett
First performance by: Cliff Richard - 1973
Power to all our friends
To the music that never ends
To the people we want to be
Baby, power to you and me
There's one old man
Spent his life growing flowers
Caring for the bees
Power to the bees
There's one old lady
Spent her days making wine
The wine tasted fine
Power to the vine
Power to the boys who played rock 'n' roll
And made my life so sweet
And to the girls I knew before
And those I've yet to meet
Power to all our friends
To the music that never ends
To the people we want to be
Baby, power to you and me
There's one strong man
Ploughing in the valley
He's living off the land
Power to the land
There's some young girl
Laying down in Monte Carlo
Laying in the sun
Power to the sun
Power to the boys who played rock 'n' roll
And made my life so sweet
And to the girls I knew before
And those I've yet to meet
Power to all our friends
To the music that never ends
To the people we want to be
Baby, power to you and me
Power to the boys who played rock 'n' roll
And made my life so sweet
And to the girls I knew before
And those I've yet to meet
Power to all our friends
To the music that never ends
To the people we want to be
Baby, power to you and me
To the music that never ends
Baby, power to all our friends

Play That Funky Music
Play That Funky Music
Composer(s): Robert Parissi
Performer(s): Wild Cherry
Hey do it now yeah hey
Yeah
There was a funky singer
Playing in a rock & Roll Band
And never had no problems yeah
Burning down one night stands
And everything around me, yeah
Got to stop to feeling so low
And I decided quickly
Yes I did
To disco down and check out the show
Yeah they was
Dancing and singing and moving to the groin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die , oh till you die
(Gonna play that electrified funky music, yeah)
Hey wait a minute
Now first it wasn't easy
Changing Rock & Roll and minds
And things were getting shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
But now its so much better (it's so much better)
I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feeling (no I won't)
Of how I learned my lesson that day
When they were.....
Dancing and singing and moving to the groin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die, oh till you die
They shouted play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Got to keep on playing funky music
Play that funky music

Sleigh Ride In July
Sleigh Ride In July
Composer(s): Jimmy Van Heusen; Johnny Burke
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists
If I were the type to play around
It wouldn't be so bad,
But I didn't know my way around
And what a time I had!
I was taken for a sleigh ride in July
Oh, I must have been a set up for a sigh
A mocking bird was whistling a sentimental tune
And I didn't know enough to come in out of the moonlight
So, the big romance was only make believe
Just a sleigh ride on a balmy summer eve
My dreams were safe all winter
And then to think that I
Was taken for a sleigh ride in July
I was taken for a sleigh ride in July
Oh, I must have been a set up for a sigh
A mocking bird was whistling a sentimental tune
And I didn't know enough to come in out of the moonlight
So, the big romance was only make believe
Just a sleigh ride on a balmy summer eve
My dreams were safe all winter
And then to think that I
Was taken for a sleigh ride in July

Play Something Sweet (Brickyard Blues)
Composer(s): Allen Toussaint
Performer(s): Three Dog Night;
and various other artists
Well, I tried to run my game
She said "Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before"
And I'm too tired to go for your show (again and again)
And she started to explain
She said "Man, I ain't sayin' what you're playin' just can't make it
But I just can't take it anymore"
Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Well, I started to sweat
She said "Don't get upset 'cause you just might break a string
And that won't do a thing for your show
So I said to myself
I said "Self, do you see what is sailin' through my soul?"
And I gotta have some more, don't ya know
Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
It's enough to make it light in the dark
It's enough to make a bite just a bark
It's enough to make a body move around
It's enough to make a rabbit hug a dog
Play somethin' sweet
Well, I tried to run my game
She said "Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before"
And I'm too tired to go for your show (again and again)
And she started to explain
She said "Man, I ain't sayin' what you're playin' just can't make it
But I just can't take it anymore"
Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

Sleigh Ride
Sleigh Ride
(Danish Version: En Slæde Til To - 2009)
Composer(s): Leroy Anderson; Mitchell Parish
First release by: The Andrews Sisters - 1950
Covered by multiple other artists
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
and friends are calling "yoo hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap
let's go, Let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy yap, giddy yap, gidd yap
it's grand, Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with a song
of a wintry fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
and comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you
There's a birthday party
at the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending a of perfect day
We'll be singing the songs
we love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch
the chestnuts pop! pop! pop! pop!
There's a happy feeling
nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee
and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print
by Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things
we remember all through our lives!
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
and friends are calling "yoo hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you
It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Play Me Hearts And Flowers
Play Me Hearts And Flowers
Composer(s): Manny Curtis; Sanford Green
Performer(s): Billy Cotton; Johnny Desmond
I spend lonely hours since he said goodbye
Play me hearts and flowers, I want to cry
Oh my ivory tower tumbled from the sky
Play me hearts and flowers, I want to cry
You saw us together so you ought to know
Just why I feel like I do
Do me a favour, I beg of you Joe
Play me a heartache or two
When a romance sours, smiles are just a lie
Play me hearts and flowers, and let me cry
Do me a favour, I beg of you Joe
Play me a heartache or two
When a romance sours, smiles are just a lie
Play me hearts and flowers, and let me cry

Do I Dream?
Do I Dream?
Composer(s): Jack Brierlev - George F. Crosbie
First performance by: Maxi - 1973
Does the sun dance on the river?
Does it sparkle? Does it quiver?
Do I dream?
Are the mountains blue and hazy
Or am I a little crazy?
Do I dream?
My darling, tell me, do your arms enfold me?
Did you say you love me only?
Is it true, or am I in a dream?
Has this cloud a silver lining?
Will the sun be always shining?
Darling, do I dream?
Are we walking through the heather?
Are we holding hands together?
Do I dream?
Are there many coloured flowers?
Have we loved away the hours?
Do I dream?
My darling, if I'm dreaming, do not wake me
Never let my dream forsake me
I love you and that is not a dream
Will this love go on forever?
Could we share our life together?
Do I dream? Do I dream? Do I dream?
Is the moon a little brighter?
Are my footsteps feeling lighter?
Do I dream?
Are there lucky stars above me?
Tell me once again you love me
Do I dream?
My darling, are we walking close together?
Could we stay like this forever?
Is it true, or am I in a dream?
Will this love go on forever?
Could we share our life together?
Do I dream? Do I dream? Do I dream?
Are we walking close together?
Could we stay like this forever?
Is it true, or am I in a dream?
Will this love go on forever?
Could we share our life together?
Do I dream? Do I dream? Do I dream?

Performer(s): Tom & Jerry (aka Simon & Garfunkel)
Saturday night and I'm all alone
Don't have a date, I'm just sittin' home
The radio's playin' the tap tunes tonight
Play me a sad song (oh yes)
Please mister deejay (yes)
Play me a sad song tonight (ooh-ooh)
Don't you think I wanna go where other kids go
Don't you know I wanna do what other kids do
I've got nobody to hold me tight (ooh yes)
Play me a sad song (oh yes)
Please mister deejay (yes)
Play me a sad song tonight
Don't wanna hear a lullaby
I can't sleep, I just sit and cry
Play me a sad song, a song of love
'Cause that's all that I'm thinking of
Sittin' here cryin' won't get me the girl
I bet I'm the loneliest boy in the world
Oh what's the use, guess I'll turn off the light (ooh yes)
Play me a sad song (oh yes)
Please mister deejay (yes)
Play me a sad song (oh yes)
I feel so lonely (yes)
Please mister deejay (oh yes)
Play me a sad song (yes)

Sleepy time gal you're turning night into days
Sleepy time gal you've danced the evening away
Before each silvery star fades out of sight

Play Me
Play Me
Performer(s): Neil Diamond
She was morning and I was night time
I one day woke up to find her lyin' beside my bed
I softly said, "Come take me"
For I've been lonely, in need of someone
As though I'd done someone wrong somewhere, but I don't know where
I don't know where, come lately
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune, play me
Song, she sang to me, song she brang to me
Words that rang in me, rhyme that sprang from me warmed the night
And what was right became me
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune, play me
She was morning and I was night time
I one day woke up to find her lyin' beside my bed
I softly said, "Come take me"
So it was that I came to travel
Upon a road that was thorned and narrow, another place
Another grace would save me
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune, play me
You are the sun, I am the moon,
You are the words, I am the tune, .....play........ me

De Oude Muzikant
De Oude Muzikant
First performance by: Ben Cramer - 1973
Door de straten van Parijs
Klinkt nog steeds dezelfde wijs
Van die oude muzikant
Je hoort 'm al aan de overkant
Eens was hij toch heel beroemd
Altijd werd zijn naam genoemd
Nu is hij heel oud en grijs
Ouder dan de stad Parijs
Door de straten, over pleinen
Klinkt dat ene lied
Die melodie zal nooit verdwijnen
Ook al ken je hem niet
Eenzaam zijn nu al zijn dagen
Niemand die hem nog kent
Hij speelt op zijn accordeon
En denkt aan hoe het eens begon
Het leven is nu grauw en grijs
In de straten van Parijs
Zijn vrienden kennen hem niet meer
Maar kijken nu nog op hem neer
Hij speelt voor geld nog op de straat
Voor 's morgens vroeg tot 's avonds laat
Niemand die nog op hem wacht
Maar soms is het of hij weer lacht
Hij was beroemd in 't hele land
Die oude grijze muzikant
Door de straten, over pleinen
Klinkt dat ene lied
Die melodie zal nooit verdwijnen
Ook al ken je hem niet
Eenzaam zijn nu al zijn dagen
Niemand die hem nog kent
Hij speelt op zijn accordeon
En denkt aan hoe het eens begon
Het leven is nu grauw en grijs
In de straten van Parijs

Play It Fair
Play It Fair
Composer(s): Bill Campbell
Performer(s): LaVern Baker
Give your heart to the one
Who gave her heart to you
If you must play the game
Play it fair (play it fair)
Save your love for the one
Who saves her love for you
If you must play with love
Play it fair (play it fair)
Oh you don't have to be wise
No you don't have to be so smart
Just to realize
It's wrong to break a heart
So be true to the one
Who's always true to you
If she's true why can't you
Play it fair (play it fair)
Yes you-ooo should bear in mind
That you just can't live alone
So why not spend your time
With someone all your own
Keep your mind on the one
Whose mind's always on you
If you must play the game
Play it fair (play it fair)

Sleepy Lagoon
Sleepy Lagoon
Composer(s): Eric Coates; Jack Lawrence
Performer(s): Dinah Shore
and multiple other artists
A sleepy lagoon, a tropical moon
And two on an island
A sleepy lagoon, and two hearts in tune
In some lullaby land
The fire flies gleam reflects in the stream
They sparkle and shimmer
A star from on high falls out of the sky
And slowly grows dimmer.
The leaves in the trees all dance in the breeze
And float in the ripple
We're deep in the spell as nightingales tell
Of roses and dew
The memory of this moment of love
Will haunt me forever
A tropical moon, a sleepy lagoon
And you

Play Gypsy
Play Gypsy
Performer(s): Joe Loss
Play gypsy, play gypsy
Sounds that I love
Bring back the springtime to my heart
Let me forget you must fade
And that love may not stay
Play and my sadness will depart
Tune up your gypsy violin
Let the dance begin
Take me back to joy and laughter
Never mind what may come after
Play gypsy, play gypsy
Sounds that I love
Bring back the springtime to my heart
Tune up your gypsy violin
Let the dance begin
Take me back to joy and laughter
Never mind what may come after
Play gypsy, play gypsy
Sounds that I love
Bring back the springtime to my heart

You Are Summer - You Never Tell Me No
You Are Summer - You Never Tell Me No
Composer(s): Monica Dominique; Carl-Axel Dominique; Lars Forsell
First performance by: Nova - 1973
Monday morning - the streets are black with rain
Under a skylight hovers sad and grey
Tuesday waits down the endless dreary day
And every day is like the other day
I have you and I long for your carress
Oh... your breasts are like swallows in nestling
You're the Summer, life grows in you
Summer, wind blows in you
Summer is glowing you
Summer, since knowing you
You are Summer, you never tell me no
Summer, life grows in you
Summer, wind blows in you
Summer, you never tell me no
Times are stale and the days are long and slow
There is no song can make me laugh and swing
Half past four, I pack up and home I go
Home to the point and fear the evenings bring
I have you and I long for your carress
Oh... your breasts are like swallows in nestling
You're the Summer, life grows in you
Summer, wind blows in you
Summer is glowing you
Summer, since knowing you
You are Summer, you never tell me no
Summer, life grows in you
Summer, wind blows in you
Summer, you never tell me no
I have you and I long for your carress
Oh... your breasts are like swallows in nestling
You're the Summer, life grows in you
Summer, wind blows in you
Summer is glowing you
Summer, since knowing you
You are Summer, you never tell me no
You are Summer, you never tell me no

Play Guitar Play
Composer(s): Conway Twitty
Performer(s): Conway Twitty; Charley Pride
Play, guitar play
Take me back to yesterday
Let me see, cotton growing, in the fields
Let me hear, my momma calling
Look a-yonder ya-all who's coming
Down the road, he's a coming home
But they know I never will
I left them living with that awful thing I done
I didn't tell them I just packed my clothes and run
Play, guitar play
Help me through another day
Help me make another dollar, before I go
We got time, for one more song
Then we'll have to move along
Another town, another crowd
Lord I wonder if they know
Can they read between the lines in my song
As I sing about a good boy that's went wrong
Guitar we got years to kill
We got to climb that distant hill
I wonder if they think of me
Guitar play
