Has Anybody Seen Our Cat?


Has Anybody Seen Our Cat?
Composer(s): T.W. Conner; James T. Powers



I'm upset now let me tell you why
Our old cat sneaked away, upon the sly
My old Ma declares it is a sign that bad luck's coming
and two to one it's mine!
I've been wond'ring who I am to blame for sneaking the bacon
and the brawn and the can of milk and beef steak pie
When they're missing on a Sunday morn!

Every night, as soon as we're in bed
All his old pals gather overhead
Gently calling for him to come out
and play a game of leapfrog 'round the gutter of the spout
In despair, I went to the police
They told me not to feel so blue
He might turn up in a penny mince pie or
With his wife, in a day or two!

Has anybody seen our cat?
Has anybody seen our cat?
He's got a bit o'black on the end of his tail
and the skin all off where he's been fighting
Last Sunday morning we miss'd him from the mat
Puss, puss, puss, puss, meat, meat, meat!
Has anybody seen our cat?

Too Much (Arnis Mednis)


Too Much
Composer(s): Arnis Mednis - Gustavs Terzens
First performance by: Arnis Mednis - 2001



The day before marriage, I was out so long in the night
My lovely fiancée no more is feelin' my sight
Why do I feel this way? - Dunno, last night was great
But something's screwin' me up, I swear to God I will stop

Too much, too much, too much, I say
My life - it looks like a cabaret
Too much, too much, too much, enough
I swear I'll never use that stuff

Oo... baby, take me back (Okay)
Oh.... give me one more smile (All right)
You're mine and only one (We'll see)
Why, darling, you don't come?

The day after marriage, I went in the streets with my bride
She wanted coffee - oh no, I'm voting for beer
You see how good is she - my caring, lovely fiancée
We walked into the bar through light
Oh God - there's girls from last night

Too much, too much, too much, I say
My life - it looks like a cabaret
Too much, too much, too much, enough
I swear I'll never use that stuff

Oo... baby, take me back (Okay)
Oh.... give me one more smile (All right)
You're mine and only one (We'll see)
Why, darling, you don't come? (Too much)

Oo... baby, take me back (Okay)
Oh.... give me one more smile (All right)
You're mine and only one (We'll see)
Why, darling, you don't come? (Too much)

Ray Henderson; Samuel M. Lewis; Joseph Widow Young
Performer(s): Tommy & Jimmy Dorsey & Red Nichols;
and various other artists



Five foot two, eyes of blue
But oh, what those five foot could do
Has anybody seen my girl?
Turned up nose, turned down hose
All dressed up in fancy clothes
Has anybody seen my girl?
Now if you run into a five foot two
Covered in fur
Diamond rings and all those things
Bet-cha life it isn't her
But could she love, could she woo?
Could she, could she, could she coo?
Has anybody seen my girl?

Spanish Rose


Spanish Rose
Composer(s): Charles Strouse - Lee Adams



Rosie:
I'm just a Spanish tamale according to Mae
Right off the boat from the tropics far far away
Which is kind of funny
Since where I come from is Allentown, Pa
Spanish!
Ok, may I'll be Spanish
Right after I've married Alberto

I'll be the toast of chi-chi Costanango,
And all day long my castanets will click!
I'll hide behind my fan and do the tango!
I'll be so Spanish it'll make you sick!
I'll eat the tacos and the enchilada!
I'll drink Tequila till I feel no pain!
The only song I'll sing will be "Granada"!
I'll be more "español" than Abbe Lane!

Coo coo coo
La cuc.........racha
Ssssso
Call me the wild Spanish rose!
The craziest flower that grows
I'll kick up my heels and see
How it feels to be sultry Spanish rose
Olé!

Behind my mantilla I will pose
The beauty that nobody knows!
So regal and cool, exciting and cruel,
That's me! Spanish rose

(My name Rosita Hernandez!)
(You'll buy my "tortilla"!)
(You like me, yes? No? Maybe? "Eeyuckh!")

"Americano" let me give you a bit of advice
To cross Spanish do not twice
Your match you have found
So don't mess around
Her heart is cold as ice!

With Albert I will dance to the bolero
We'll cha cha in the nicest honky tonks
Hell wear a little mustache and sombrero
My handsome Latin lover from the Bronx

So now that you've met Spanish rose
Never forget Spanish rose
Shell taunt you,
Shell tame you but what man can blame you
For worshiping Spanish rose.

Not Danish
Not British
Not Swedish
Not Yiddish
But span............................ish
Rosa!

Heather Honey


Heather Honey
Composer(s): Tommy Roe
Performer(s): Tommy Roe



Oh Heather honey
Warm as the sunshine
Oh Heather honey
Your love is so fine
I've been here, I've been there
I've been all around
and I fell in and out of love
In most every town
But the girls I knew were not like you
You're a different kind
Heather honey, now can't you see
You're blowing my mind

Every day my friends say
I'm just a fool to fall in love
To them it seems ain't very cool
But I don't care what they say
I just can't resist
Heather, I fell head over heels
First time we kissed
Heather, honey I bet money
We'll never split 'cause
Loving you is so easy to do
And I'll never quit
So build your plans around this man
'Cause I love you so
Don't you forget my pretty pet
I'll never let you go

And got his PHD

Sheila's a girl I know
At BBDNO
She works the PBX
And makes out the checks

Then, came, one great day when
Harvey took the elevator
Sheila got in two floors later
Soon they both felt they were falling
Everyone heard Sheila calling
"Ring The Bell"
But they fell
Harv and Sheila fell in love

Harvey and Sheila

Chose a wedding ring

They sat and watched TV
On their RCA

Borrowed from HFC
Bought some AT&T
And on election day
Worked for JFK

Then they went and got a
Charge-a-plate from R.H. Macy's
Bought a layette
Pink and lacey
Then they had twin baby girls
Both with dimples
Both with curls
One named Bea
One named Kay
Soon they joined the PTA

Moved to west LA

Flew TWA

They bought a house one day
Financed by HFA
It had a swimming pool
Full of H2O

Traded their used MG
For a new XKE
Switched to the GOP
That's the way things go

Oh that Harvey he was really smart
He used his noodle
Sheila got a white French Poodle
Went to Europe with a visa
Harvey's rich, they say that he's a VIP
This could be
Only in the USA

Listen To Your Heartbeat


Listen To Your Heartbeat
Composer(s): Thomas G:so - Henrik Sethsson
First performance by: Friends - 2001



I wanna know what you feel inside
Is something wrong? Why did you leave last night?
Is it all just a game? – Oh... tell me why we can't be lovers

I do believe in the two of us
That you and me – we are the only ones
And we were meant to be true, so tell me why we can't be lovers

How could I be such a fool
I thought I already knew it all, but I know
I was totally wrong

Listen to your heartbeat – it will take you higher
Follow your emotions – I know you'll get stronger
Listen to your heartbeat – the feeling will guide you
Hold on to devotion – I know it's inside you

How will I know if you're fooling me?
Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to be
Like it's all just a game, and I just want us to be lovers

We had it all in our hands
Just like those all happy ends
I still don't know why, but we lost it somehow

Listen to your heartbeat – it will take you higher
Follow your emotions – I know you'll get stronger
Listen to your heartbeat – the feeling will guide you
Hold on to devotion – I know it's inside you

One more chance to make a try
Nothing left to do for you and I

Listen to your heartbeat – it will take you higher
Follow your emotions – I know you'll get stronger
Listen to your heartbeat – the feeling will guide you
Hold on to devotion – I know it's inside you

Listen to your heartbeat

Heather


Heather
Composer(s): Paul Vance; Lee Pockriss
Performer(s): The Cuff Links



Heather ties her hair with golden daffodils
And her eyes reflect the sunshine of the sea
Heather smiles and tells me that she's feeling fine
But Heather's silent tears are always crying

Heather wears a straw white hat upon her head
Ties a satin ribbon underneath her chin
Climbs a purple mountain somewhere in her mind
And finds her shadow near a river crying

Heather come to me, don't cry, don't run away
Together there's tomorrow but alone there's only yesterday
Heather come to me, don't cry, just take my hand
Love will be the answer to the loneliness we cannot understand

Heather smile and then I'll find a rainbow ring
I'll tie it to your finger with a golden string
Promising forever that my love will bring
The sunshine in the morning when I wake you

Heather come to me, Heather don't you know
The happy place you're searching for is in my heart
I love you so

Heather, Heather
Heather ... I love you so

Harvest Time


Harvest Time
Composer(s): Don Carlos; Euvin Spencer
Performer(s): Don Carlos



Worry Onto Those That Shed Innocent Blood Of Jah People

Jah shall clean out the bad weeds
and seperate them from the good
'cause the day of harvest is near

Worry unto those that say they're of Israel (and they are not)
Worry unto those that say they're Jews (and they are not)
'Cause they shall be cast away
like chaff that the wind driveth away I say

Jah shall clean out the bad weeds
and seperate them from the good
'cause the day of harvest is near

Death to the black and white opressors
who have oppressed Jah Children innocently
I throw my word without partiality - Listen to I
Let it fall, and let it fall, let Babylon fall

Jah shall clean out the bad weeds
and seperate them from the good
'cause the day of harvest is near

Worry unto those that say they're of Israel (and they are not)
Worry unto those that say they're Jews (and they are not)
'Cause Jah shall have them in his region
They're half the season (?)
'Cause they shall be cast away
like chaff that the wind driveth away I say

Jah shall clean out the bad weeds
and seperate them from the good
'cause the day of harvest is near

Spanish Pipedream


Spanish Pipedream
Composer(s): John Prine
First release by: John Prine - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



She was a level-headed dancer on the road to alcohol
And I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal
Well she pressed her chest against me
About the time the juke box broke
Yeah, she gave me a peck on the back of my neck
And these are the words she spoke

Blow up your T.V.
Throw away your paper
Go to the country
Build you a home
Plant a little garden
Eat a lot of peaches
Try and find Jesus on your own

Well, I sat there at the table and I acted real naive
For I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve
Well, she danced around the bar room and she did the hoochy-coo
Yeah she sang her song all night long, tellin' me what to do

Blow up your T.V.
Throw away your paper
Go to the country
Build you a home
Plant a little garden
Eat a lot of peaches
Try and find Jesus on your own

Well, I was young and hungry and about to leave that place
When just as I was leavin', well she looked me in the face
I said "You must know the answer"
She said, "No but I'll give it a try"
And to this very day we've been livin' our way
And here is the reason why

We blew up our T.V.
Threw away our paper
Went to the country
Built us a home
Had a lot of children
Fed 'em on peaches
They all found Jesus on their own

Harvest Of Love


Harvest Of Love
Composer(s): Benny Hill
Performer(s): Benny Hill; The Rockin' Berries



I rise at six and then I feed the chicks
And I'm feeling lonesome and blue
And when I milk the cow it seems, somehow
My thoughts keep straying to you
And as the horse and I plough the field nearby
Your memory I can't erase
For while I walk at the rear of the horse, my dear
I seem to see your face

Chorus:
I'm gonna sow the seed of deep devotion, fertilize it with emotion
Water it with warm desire and then I'll reap the harvest of love

Yes, I was happy as a pig in spite of the way that you looked at me
When I met you at the village dance
But you was in the ladies' excuse me at the time
I thought I would never have a chance
But you let me walk you home across Blatt's Meadow
And I knew that with you I should be a hit
'Cause I got an old cow to get up walk away
So that you'd have somewhere nice and dry to sit

Chorus

Side by side we will take a ride
In my horse and buggy one day
And when the daylight ends and the night descends
And my horse'll run out of hay
And I will kiss your lips, those tempting lips
The only ones that can thrill me
And I would hold you tight 'neath the stars so bright
If the wife ever finds out she'll kill me

Chorus

Lady Alpine Blue


Lady Alpine Blue
Composer(s): Ilia Lagutenko
First performance by: Mumiy Troll - 2001



To love newcomers' fashion
Oh so special
You may want to believe me
But hey – your Alpine eyes of blue
Here's my Siberian hymn for you
We better stay or rather die
La lalalai lai lala lai lai...
Rather die
La lalalai la lalalai...

No promises, no kiss goodbye to you
Just keep on smilin', my Lady Alpine Blue
Blue

The slipping serpentine night
Would cuddle, keep us tender
And smother warning signs
My old mistakes should send her
Eternity for us to try
The dawn will tell us if we fly
La lalalai lai lala lai lai...
If we fly
La lalalai la lalalai...

No promises, no kiss goodbye to you
Just keep on smilin', my Lady Alpine Blue

No promises, no promises
No promises, no promises

No promises, no kiss goodbye to you
Just keep on smilin', my Lady Alpine Blue

Heat Street


Heat Street
Performer(s): Def Leppard



What can I hear? Who can I see?
What's this I fear that's followin' me?
It's getting louder, it's coming near
I can not stand it, I'm gettin' outta here

You'd better beware now
You'd better take care now
The street of the sinner
So you'll never be a winner

The rain is falling around my feet
The night is calling on this well-lit street
People in doorways just stand and stare
Castaway shadows that really aren't there

You'd better beware now
You'd better take care now
The street of the sinner
So you'll never be a winner

What can I hear? Who can I see?
What's this I fear that's followin' me?
It's getting louder, it's coming near
I can not stand it, I'm getting outta here

You'd better beware now
Yeah you'd better take care now
The street of the sinner
So you'll never be a winner

You'll never be a winner
On heat street

Spanish Lullaby


Spanish Lullaby
Composer(s): Bill Johnson
Performer(s): Marty Robbins



This my friends is an old Spanish lullaby
And it's been handed down from generation to generation
And in it, a father is singing to his baby son
And he's telling him, "Close your eyes little one and sleep
And dream while the angels watch over you
I will hold your hand
And when you wake with the morning, I'll still be here

Cierras ya tus ojitos
Duermete sin temor
Sueña con angelitos
parecidos a ti
Y te agarrare tu mano
Duermete sin temor
Cuando tu despiertes
yo estare aqui

Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da

Y te agarrare tu mano
Dueremete sin temor
Cuando tu despiertes
yo estare aqui

Hearts On Fire


Hearts On Fire
Composer(s): Walter Egan; Tom Guidera
Performer(s): Gram Parsons



Hearts on fire
My love for you brought only misery
Hearts on fire
Put out the flames and set this cold heart free
One short year our love burned
Until at last I guess you learned
The art of being untrue and then goodbye
What could I do except to cry and moan
Lord, what have I done?

Once we were as sweet and warm as the golden morning sun
Hearts on fire
My love for you brought only misery
Hearts on fire
Put out the flames and set this cold heart free

Friends say it's just a game
And that no one is to blame
Go out forget her lies
But she'll be there and sparks will fly
My love has turned to hatred
Sleep escapes me still
God, please take this heart of mine
Cause if you don't the devil will
Hearts on fire
My love for you brought only misery
Hearts on fire
Put out the flames and set this cold heart free
Hearts on fire

Harry Truman


Harry Truman
Composer(s): Robert Lamm
Performer(s): Chicago



America needs you
Harry Truman
Harry could you please come home
Things are looking bad
I know you would be mad
To see what kind of men
Prevail upon the land you love

America's wondering
How we got here
Harry all we get is lies
We're gettin' safer cars
Rocket ships to mars
From men who'd sell us out
To get themselves a piece of power

We'd love to hear you speak your mind
In plain and simple ways
Call a spade a spade
Like you did back in the day
You would play piano
Each morning walk a mile
Speak of what was going down
Eith honesty and style

America's calling
Harry Truman
Harry you know what to do
The world is turnin' round and losin' lots of ground
Oh Harry is there something we can do to save the land we love
Oh woah woah woah

America's calling
Harry Truman
Harry you know what to do
The world is turnin' round
And losin' lots of ground
So Harry is there something we can do to save the land we love
Oh
Harry is there something we can do to save the land we love
Harry
Harry is there something we can do to save the land we love
