Happiness Is A Warm Gun
Happiness Is A Warm Gun
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
Performer(s): The Beatles;
and various other artists
She's not a girl, who misses much
Do roo roo roo roo, oh yeah
She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane
The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors
On his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the Nation Trust
I need a fix 'cause I'm going down
Down to the bits that I left uptown
I need a fix cause I'm going down
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun - ahaa
When I hold you in my arms
And I feel my finger on your trigger
I know nobody can do me no harm
Because happiness is a warm
Happiness is a warm gun - Yes it is
Happiness is a warm - Yes it is - gun
Happiness is a warm gun...

Wonder how I'd feel
Livin' on a hillside
Lookin' on an ocean

This is what I need
This is what I've longed for
Someone young and smilin'
Climbin' up my hill!
Nellie:
We are not alike
Probably I'd bore him
He's a cultured Frenchman
I'm a little hick
Emile:
Younger man than I
Officers and doctors
Probably pursue her
She could have her pick
Nellie:
Wonder why I feel
Jittery and jumpy!
I'm like a school girl
Waitin' for a dance
Emile:
Can I ask her now?
I'm like a school boy!
What will be her answer?
Do I have a chance?

Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe
Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe
Composer(s): Harold Arlen; E.Y. "Yip" Harburg
Performer(s): Ethel Waters;
and various other artists
It seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe
He's got a smile that makes the lilac wanta grow
He's got a way that makes the angels heave a sigh
When they know little Joe's passing by
Sometimes the cabin's gloomy and the table's bare
Then he'll kiss me and it's Christmas everywhere
Troubles fly away and life is easy go
Does he love me good, that's all I need to know
Seems like happiness, is just a thing called Joe
Little Joe, little Joe, little Joe

A Cockeyed Optimist
A Cockeyed Optimist
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Mary Martin
and multiple other artists
Nellie:
When the skies are brighter canary yellow
I forget ev'ry cloud I've ever seen
So they called me a cockeyed optimist
Immature and incurably green
I have heard people rant and rave and bellow
That we're done and we might as well be dead
But I'm only a cockeyed optimist
And I can't get it into my head
I hear the human race
Is fallin' on its face
And hasn't very far to go
But ev'ry whippoorwill
Is sellin' me a bill
And tellin' me it just ain't so
I could say life is just a bowl of Jello
And appear more intelligent and smart
But I'm stuck like a dope
With a thing called hope
And I can't get it out of my heart!
Not this heart...

And you let the bad go by
Yeah, yeah

For A Thousand Years
For A Thousand Years
Composer(s): Sašo Fajon - Primož Peterca
First performance by: Darja Švajger - 1999
Teardrops in my eyes, a dance of glistening rain
Falling from the sky, a carpet of the stars
Clouds of tenderness are fleeing in the light
Now it's here, the light for a thousand years
I tremble in your eyes, I tremble in your palms
Lie inside you deep, in dreams of yours I sleep
Caress you with my eyes and love you with my hands
Yes, I feel the light for a thousand years
I know you are my love
A touch, a kiss, your heart is mine
I know the light is always here
We kiss each other in its shine
I tremble in your eyes, I tremble in your palms
Lie inside you deep, in dreams of yours I sleep
Caress you with my eyes and love you with my hands
Yes, I feel the light for a thousand years
I know you are my love
A touch, a kiss, your heart is mine
I know the light is always here
We kiss each other in its shine

Happiness (Scrooge)
Happiness
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
They say happiness
Is a thing you can't see
A thing you can't touch
I disagree
Happiness is standing beside
A can see him
He can see me
Happiness is whatever
You want it to be
Happiness is a high hill
Will I find it?
Yes, I will
Happiness is a tall tree
Can I climb it?
Watch, and see
They say happiness is
The folly of fools
Pity for me
One of the fools
Happiness is smiling upon me
Walking my way
Sharing my day
Happiness is whatever
You want it to be
Happiness is a bright star
Are we happy?
Yes, we are
Happiness is a clear sky
Give me wings
And let me fly
Let me fly
For, happiness
Is whatever you want it
To be

South Of The Border
South Of The Border ((aka South Of The Border (Down Mexico Way))
Composer(s): Jimmy Kennedy - Michael Carr
First recording - Billy Cotton - 1939
Covered by multiple other artists
South of the border - down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love, where the stars above - came out to play
And now as I wander - my thoughts ever stray
South of the border - down Mexico way
She was a picture - in old Spanish lace
Just for a tender while, I kissed a smile - upon her face
'Cause it was fiesta - and we were so gay
South of the border - Mexico way
Then she smiled as she whispered "mañana"
Never dreaming that we were parting
Then I lied as a whispered "mañana"
'Cause our tomorrow never came
South of the border - I jumped back one day
There in a veil of white, by the candle light - she knelt to pray
The mission bells told me (ding-dong) - that I musn't stay
South of the border - Mexico way
Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay!Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay!Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay!Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay!

Happiness (Charlie Brown)
Happiness
Composer(s): Clark Gesner
Happiness is finding a pencil
Sleeping in moon light
Telling the time
Happiness is learning to whistle
Tying your shoe
For the very first time
Happiness is playing the drum
In your own school band
And happiness is walking hand in hand
Happiness is two kinds of ice cream
Knowing a secret
Climbing a tree
Happiness is five different crayons
Catching a firefly
Setting him free
And happiness is being alone every now and then
And happiness is coming home again
Happiness is morning and evening
Daytime and nighttime too
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That's loved by you
Happiness is having a sister
Sharing a sandwich
Getting along
Happiness is singing together
When day is through
And happiness is those who sing with you
Happiness is morning and evening
Daytime and nighttime too
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That's loved by you

Say It Again
Composer(s): Paul Varney
First performance by: Precious - 1999
Say it again...
I know I heard you right
I've been a-lyin' awake at night
Thinkin' about three words you said to me...
I know it's hard for you
Sometimes you gotta let the feeling through
I wanna know exactly how you feel
Ooh yeah
I've tried to be patient
And give you a little more time
Now I need to be sure
What's on your mind
Say it again (say it)
Say the words I heard you whisper
Say it again (say it)
When last night we were together
Lyin' next to me, you said to me
(Say it) say it again
I knew right from the start
You were livin' with a broken heart
But baby, I knew, could take some time to heal...
But now I must confess
The way you're fillin' me with happiness
Think that we could be startin' somethin' real
Ooh yeah...
I've tried to be patient
And give you a little more time
Now I need to be sure
What's on your mind
Say it again (say it)
Say the words I heard you whisper
Say it again (say it)
When last night we were together
Lyin' next to me, you said to me
(Say it) say it again
And I just need to be sure
That you're mine forever
All I'm asking you for
Is to tell me whether
I should be trustin' in you
Tell me if the words you whispered were true
Whoh
(Say it, say it, say it, say it...)
Say it again (say it)
Say the words I heard you whisper
Say it again (say it)
When last night we were together
Lyin' next to me, you said to me
(Say it)
Say it again (say it)
Say the words I heard you whisper
Say it again (say it)
When last night we were together
Lyin' next to me, you said to me
(Say it) say it again

Happiness (Bill Anderson)
Happiness
Composer(s): Bill Anderson
Performer(s): Bill Anderson
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
To me this old world is a wonderful place
And I'm just about the luckiest human in the whole human race
I've got no silver and I've got no gold
Just a whole lot of happiness in my soul
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
Happiness to me is an ocean tide
Or a sunset fading on a mountain side
Or maybe a big old heaven full of stars up above
When I'm in the arms of the one I love
Happiness is a field of grain
Lifting its face to the falling rain
I can see it in the sunshine, I breathe it in the rain
Happiness everywhere
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
A wise old man told me one time
That happiness is nothing but a frame of mind
I hope when you go to measuring my success
That you don't count my money count my happiness
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness

Hanoi Hannah averaged bout a man a day
and when she wasn´t working
she kept the coffee perking
for the guy who didn´t have to pay

South Coast
South Coast
Composer(s): Lillian Bos Ross - Sam Eskin - Rich Dehr - Frank Miller
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio
and multiple other artists
South Coast, the wild coast, is lonely
You may win at a game at Jolon
But the lion still rules the barranca
and a man there is always alone
My name is Juan Hano de Castro
My father was a Spanish grandee
But I won my wife in a card game
to Hell with the Lords oversee
I picked up the ace
I had won her!
My heart, which was down at my feet
Jumped up to my throat in a hurry
Like a warm summer's day, she was sweet
South Coast, the wild coast, is lonely
You may win at a game at Jolon
But the lion still rules the barranca
and a man there is always alone
Her arms had to tighten around me
as we rode up the hills from the south
Not a word did I hear from her that day
or a kiss from her pretty red mouth
We came to my cabin at twilight
The stars twinkled out on the coast
She soon loved the valley, the orchard
but I knew that she loved me the most
South Coast, the wild coast, is lonely
You may win at a game at Jolon
But the lion still rules the barranca
and a man there is always alone
Then I got hurt in a landslide
with crushed hip and twice-broken bone
She saddled our pony like lightning
rode off in the night, all alone
The lion screamed in the barranca
the pony fell back on the slide
My young wife lay dead in the moonlight
My heart died that night with my bride
South Coast, the wild coast, is lonely
You may win at a game at Jolon
But the lion still rules the barranca
and a man there is always alone

Hannibal Mo-(Zouree)!
Composer(s): Robert B. Sherman; Richard M. Sherman
Load up the vittles, pickles, and hams
Melons, and cherry pie
Fritters and dumplin's
Turkeys and yams
Pack in a big supply
Apples and peaches
Soda to sip
Cider is gonna flow
With a hey and a ho
And away we go
On a holiday in Hannibal, Mo…(zouree)!
Latch up the windows
Lock up the doors
Gotta get on the go
Line up the buggies
Wagons, and rigs
Meet all the folks you know
You bring the fiddle
You bring the drum
You bring the old banjo
And a hey and a ho
And away we'll go
On a holiday in Hannibal, Mo…(zouree)!
Lady:
Who brung the watermelons?
Man:
I done
Lady:
Put them in the buggy
By the box of red plums
Who brung the lemonade?
Lady: Ask her
Man:
It's here in the wagon
With the buttermilk churn
Where's Mary?
Man:
With Nellie
Boys:
Standin' guard on the jams and jelly
Boy:
Where's all the fireworks?
Boy:
Don't know
Kids:
But you're gonna see `em
All the way from here to St. Jo
All:
Better get ready
The time is right
We'll be gone all day
And half of the night
The road is rugged,
So hold on tight
No time for lollygaggin'
Everybody on the wagon
Driver:
Giddap!
All:
Get up the horses
Give `em the reigns
They know the way to go
Down by the river
Over the ridge
Into the old meadow
Oh, what a feelin'
Oh, what a day
Bright as a daisy glow
With a hey and a ho
And away we go
On a holiday in Hannibal, Mo…(zouree)!
Oh, what a feelin'
Oh, what a day
Bright as a daisy glow
With a hey and a ho
And away we go
On a holiday in Hannibal, Mo…(zouree)!
Oh, what a feelin'
Oh, what a day
Bright as a daisy glow
With a hey and a ho
And away we go
On a holiday in Hannibal, Missouri
