Poppa Piccolino
Poppa Piccolino
Italian Title: Papaveri E Papere
Composer(s): Vittorio Mascheroni; Bob Musel;
Mario Panzeri; Giuseppe Rastelli
Performer(s): Diana Decker;
and various other artists
All over Italy they know his concertina
Poppa Piccolino, Poppa Piccolino
He plays so prettily to every signorina
Poppa Piccolino from sunny Italy
Oh listen to the music I hear
Oh Poppa Piccolino is near
To win a smile or maybe a tear
Before travelling on
A vagabond who wanders along
A millionaire, but only in song
As though the world
Might really belong to him
This fellow plays a melody so mellow
That everyone keeps shouting "Bello, Bello"
All over Italy they know his concertina
Poppa Piccolino, Poppa Piccolino
He plays so prettily to every signorina
Poppa Piccolino from sunny Italy
No matter what the calendars show
It can't be spring, and I ought to know
Until I hear him singing "'allo, `allo I'm here again"
A flower in his battered old hat
And a smile for every doggie and cat
And children get the friendliest pat of all
I'll give his name so if you ever meet him
Then you will know exactly how to greet him
All over Italy they know his concertina
Poppa Piccolino, Poppa Piccolino,
He plays so prettily to every signorina
Poppa Piccolino from sunny Italy
Everybody loves Poppa Piccolino
He has the cutest little monkey to collect the lira
But one day Poppa Piccolino was very sad
He lost his concertina, and he couldn't find it anywhere
and there was no music, and everyone was very unhappy
But the little monkey found it for him and gave it back to Poppa Piccolino
and now everybody is happy again
All over Italy they know his concertina
Poppa Piccolino, Poppa Piccolino
He plays so prettily to every signorina
Poppa Piccolino from sunny Italy
Sunny Italy, Sunny Italy

'T Is O.K.
'T Is O.K.
Composer(s): George Kooymans; Eddy Ouwens; Tom Bos
First performance by: Harmony - 1978
Denk je "ik kan er niet meer tegen"
Al die problemen elke dag
Zie je geen zon, maar storm en regen
Is er alleen maar tegenslag
Dan is hier een vrolijk liedje
Voor een probleem het medicijn
Zing 't eens mee, want dan geniet je
Weg met je zorgen, voel je fijn
't Is ok, zing die melodie
Blij en in harmonie
Leef met wat sympathie
Voor mensen om je heen
't Is ok, zing die melodie
Blij, en in harmonie
Streef naar wat sympathie
Dan ben je nooit alleen
Heb je geen cent om iets te kopen
Komen je dromen nooit 'ns uit
En heb je zin om weg te lopen
Neem dan meteen een goed besluit
Kijk om je heen, zie andere mensen
Kijk naar jezelf en zie gelijk
Er is niet eens zo veel te wensen
Als je gezond bent, ben je rijk
't Is ok, zing die melodie
Blij en in harmonie
Leef met wat sympathie
Voor mensen om je heen
't Is ok, zing die melodie
Blij, en in harmonie
Streef naar wat sympathie
Dan ben je nooit alleen

What a grand sensation
Dancing, you ought to know
You're my inspiration
Let me dance forever

L'amour Ça Fait Chanter La Vie
L'amour Ça Fait Chanter La Vie
First performance by: Jean Vallée - 1978
L'amour ça vous met dans le coeur
Des crayons de couleurs
Pour dessiner le monde
L'amour on devient musicien
De vrais petits Chopin
Rien que pour une blonde
L'amour c'est tellement fantastique
Ça met le bonheur en musique
Ça rit de toute sa symphonie
L'amour ça fait changer la vie
L'amour ça vous met dans les yeux
Un regard fabuleux
Qui vous change un visage
L'amour ça vous donne des ailes
Pour monter dans le ciel
Jusqu'au septième étage
L'amour c'est tellement fantastique
Ça met le bonheur en musique
Ça rit de toute sa symphonie
L'amour ça fait changer la vie
L'amour c'est un grand magicien
Qui vous change un chagrin
En moins d'une seconde
L'amour en un mot comme en cent
Ça vous donne vingt ans
Dans tous les coins du monde
L'amour c'est tellement fantastique
Ça met le bonheur en musique
Ça rit de toute sa symphonie
L'amour ça fait chanter la vie
La vie!

What's the matter with your life
Is the poverty bringing U down?
Is the mailman jerking U 'round?
Did he put your million dollar check
In someone else's box?

Was it a boy when U wanted a girl? (Boy when u wanted a girl)
Don't U know straight hair ain't got no curl (No curl)

Is there anybody living there? (Anybody living there)
U can't get over, if U say U just don't care (Don't care)
Show me a boy who stays in school
And I'll show U a boy aware!
Dig it

The river of addiction flows
U think it's hot, but there won't be no water
When the fire blows

Snowflakes And Teardrops
Snowflakes And Teardrops
Composer(s): Bob Feldman; Jerry Goldstein; Richard Gottehrer
Performer(s): The Angels
Snowflakes and teardrops and
Heartaches that won't stop
Because he went away
My winter's here to stay
And I'm alone
(Snow falling outside and tears falling inside)
I just can't help but cry
While snowflakes fill the sky
I keep wishing he were here with me
Outside there's a winter wonderland
Kids are laughing having fun
While inside I'm having none
Since my one and only one has left me
Snowflakes and teardrops and
heartaches that won't stop
uuuhhh uuuuhhh uuuhhh uuuuhhh
uuuhhh uuuuhhh uuuhhh uuuuhhh
uuuhhh uuuuhhh
Outside there's a winter wonderland
Kids are laughing having fun
I'm inside and having none
Since my one and only one has left me
Snowflakes and teardrops and
Heartaches that won't stop
Because he went away my winter's here to stay
And I'm alone
Yes I'm alone, so all alone
uuuuhhh, uuuuhhh ah uuuuhhhh

Pop Hates The Beatles
Pop Hates The Beatles
Composer(s): Lou Busch; Richard M. Sherman; Robert B. Sherman
Performer(s): Allan Sherman
My daughter needs a new phonograph
She wore out all the needles
Besides, I broke the old one in half
I hate the Beatles
She says they have a Liverpool beat
She says they used to play there
Four nice kids from offa the street
Why didn't they stay there?
What is all the screaming about?
Fainting and swooning
Sounds to me like their guitars
Could use a little tuning
The boys are from the British Empire
The British think they're keen
If that is what the British desire
God Save The Queen
No daughter of mine can push me around
In my house I'm the master
But when the British come to town
Gad, what a disaster
Little girls in sneakers and jeans
Destroyed the territory
'Twas like some of the gorier scenes
From The West Side Story
Of course my daughter had to go there
The tickets are cheap, she hollers
I was able to pick up a pair
For forty-seven dollars
When the Beatles come on the stage
They scream and shriek and cheer them
Now I know why they're such a rage
It's impossibe to hear them
Ringo is the one with the drum
The others all play with him
It shows you what a boy can become
Without a sense of rhythm
There's Beatle books and T-shirts and rings
And one thing and another
To buy my daughter all of these things
I had to sell her brother
Back in 1776
We fought the British then, folks
Parents of America
It's time to do it again, folks
When they come back, here's how we'll begin
We'll throw 'em in Boston harbor
But please, before we toss 'em all in
Let's take 'em to a barber

Vivre (Carole Vinci)
Vivre
Composer(s): Alain Morisod; Pierre Alain
First performance by: Carole Vinci - 1978
Pourquoi ne pas croire à la belle histoire
Qui fait chanter le cœur et les saisons?
Je veux tout oublier dans tes bras
Et tout recommencer avec toi
Partager les couleurs et les chansons
Pourquoi ne pas suivre cette belle histoire?
Pourquoi ne pas sourire au nouveau jour?
Nous nous évaderons, mon amour
Et nous retrouverons la chanson
Que nous vivrons enfin à l'unisson
Vivre, nous allons vivre un million de bonheurs
Pour traverser les heures comme des oiseaux libres
Vivre, je veux le vivre, ce rêve musical
Pour cueillir les étoiles de l'amour
Pourquoi ne pas croire à la belle histoire
Qui fait chanter le cœur et le printemps?
Ma vie a commencé avec toi
Le soleil s'est levé dans la joie
Tu m'as fait retrouver mon cœur d'enfant
Vivre, je veux le vivre, ce rêve musical
Pour cueillir les étoiles de l'amour
Vivre, nous allons vivre
Et renverser les heures
Pour cueillir les étoiles du bonheur

Pop A Top
Pop A Top
Composer(s): Nat Stuckey
Performer(s): Jim Ed Brown;
and various other artists
Pop a top again
I just got time for one more round
Sit em up my friends
Then I'll be gone
Then you can let some other fool sit down
I'd like for you'd to listen to a joke I heard today
From a woman who said she was through and calmly walked away
I'd tried to smile and did a while it felt so outta place
Did you ever hear of a clown with tears drops streaming down his face
Pop a top again
I think I'll have another round
Sit em up my friend
Then I'll be gone and you can let some other fool sit down
Home for me is misery and here I am wasting time
Cause a row of fools on a row of stools is not what's on my mind
But then you see her leaving me it's not what I perfer
So it's either here just drinking beer or at home remembering her
Pop a top again
I think I'll have another round
Sit em up my friend
Then I'll be gone and you can let some other fool sit down
Pop a top again

Snowblind Friend
Snowblind Friend
Composer(s): Hoyt Axton
First release by: Hoyt Axton - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
You say it was this morning when you last saw your good friend
Lyin' on the pavement with a misery on his brain
Stoned on some new potion he found upon the wall
Of some unholy bathroom in some ungodly hall
He only had a dollar to live on 'til next Monday
But he spent it on some comfort for his mind
Did you say you think he's blind?
Someone should call his parents, a sister or a brother
And they'll come to take him back home on a bus
But he'll always be a problem to his poor and puzzled mother
Yeah he'll always be another one of us
He said he wanted Heaven but prayin' was too slow
So he bought a one way ticket on an airline made of snow
Did you say you saw your good friend flyin' low

Poor, Poor Pitiful Me
Composer(s): Warren Zevon
Performer(s): Warren Zevon;
and various other artists
I'd lay my head on the railroad tracks
And wait for the Double E
But the railroad don't run no more
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
These young girls won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe is me
Well, I met a girl in West Hollywood
I ain't naming names
She really worked me over good
She was just like Jesse James
She really worked me over good
She was a credit to her gender
She put me through some changes, Lord
Sort of like a Waring blender
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
These young girls won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe is me
Well, I met a girl at the Rainbow bar
She asked me if I'd beat her
She took me back to the Hyatt House
I don't want to talk about it
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
These young girls won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe is me

Bad Old Days
Bad Old Days
Composer(s): Stephanie de Sykes - Stuart Slater
First performance by: Coco - 1978
Remember me?
I was tossed and turnin' like a ship without a sea
I was lost for learnin' like a song without a key
Remember when
I was all alone without a soul to call my friend?
Who'd have thought those days would ever end?
Those were the bad old days
Before I had your love to guide me
Sad old days
You set me free from all those bad old days
You put all the good inside of me
Those were the bad old days
(Those were the sad old days)
Before I had you there besides me
Sad old days
And can't you see? - you took the bad old days
And you put all the good inside of me
Remember who
Walked into my life and put their foot inside my shoe
Now what was just a place for one is home for two
Remember why
I'm gonna stay with you until the day I die
We can watch the good old days go by
Those were the bad old days
Before I had your love to guide me
Sad old days
You set me free from all those bad old days
You put all the good inside of me
Oh dooby-doo...
Dooby-dooby-dooby-doo...
Aah...
Those were the bad old days
(Those were the sad old days)
Before I had you there beside me
Sad old days
(Those were the sad old days)
And can't you see you took the bad old days
And you put all the good inside of me?
(Those were the bad old days)
(Those were the bad old days)
You put all the good inside of me
(Those were the bad old days)
Ah...
(Those were the bad old days)
You put all the good inside of me

Poor Whip, Poor Will (Move Over, Move Over)
Composer(s): Jimmy Kennedy; Nat Simon
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney; The Bell Sisters
Under the moonlight
Out on the hill
I hear the call
Of a lone whip-poor-will
He's got no love bird
To sit on his knee
And I got no darlin'
So lonesome are we
Poor Whip-Poor-Will
We're both up a tree
Move over! Move over!
And make room for me
Poor Whip-Poor-Will
How blue can we be?
Move over! Move over!
And make room for me
I had a sweetheart
Sweet as could be
Last night he said
He'd go walkin' with me
True, he went walkin'
But with someone new
And that's why I'm lonesome
And feelin' like you

You're The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly
Composer(s): Lola Jean Dillon; L.E. White
Performer(s): Loretta Lynn & Conway Twitty
and multiple other artists
Conway:
Well, you're the reason I'm ridin' around on big-capped tires
Loretta:
And you're the reason I'm hangin' our clothes outside on wires
Both:
And you're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'
Oh, but looks ain't everything
And money ain't everything
But I love you just the same
Conway:
Well, you're the reason I changed to beer from soda pop
Loretta:
And you're the reason I never get to go to the beauty shop
Both:
And you're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'
Oh, but looks ain't everything
And money ain't everything
But I love you just the same
Both:
I guess that we won't ever have everything we need
'Cause when we get ahead, it's got a double mouth to feed
Loretta:
And that's the reason my good looks, and my figure is gone
Conway:
And that's the reason that I ain't got no hair to comb
Both:
And you're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'
Oh, but looks ain't everything
And money ain't everything
But I love you just the same
Loretta: Conway, why in the devil don't you go and shave, and put on a clean pair of pants?
Conway: But Loretta, look at yourself
I wish you'd take them curlers outta your hair and go put on a little make-up and get outta that housecoat before supper
Loretta: Well let me tell you somethin' Conway
Considering everything that I went through today, I look like a movie star
Conway: Yeah, Ruth Buzzi
Loretta: Thank you
Conway: Besides that, all of our kids took after your part of the family anyways
Loretta: Oh, they did, huh? What about the ones that's bald?
Conway: Well, I guess you might say they took after me

Poor Tom
Poor Tom
Composer(s): Jimmy Page; Robert Plant
Performer(s): Led Zeppelin; Robert Walter
Here's a tale of Tom
Who worked the railroads long
His wife would cook his meal
As he would change the wheel
Poor Tom, Seventh Son, Always knew what's goin on
Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
There ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom
Worked for thirty years
Sharing hopes and fears
Dreamin' of the day
He could turn and say
Poor Tom, work's done, been lazin' out in the noonday sun
Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
His wife was Annie Mae
With any man a game she'd play
When Tom was out of town
She couldn't keep her dress down
Poor Tom, Seventh Son, always knew what's goin on
Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
And so it was one day
He got wise to Annie Mae
Tom stood, a gun in his hand
And stopped her runnin' around
Poor Tom, Seventh Son, gotta die for what you've done
All those years of work are thrown away
To ease your mind is that all you can say?
But what about that grandson on your knee?
Them railroad songs, Tom would sing to me
Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom
Keep-a Truckin'
