Hi Ho Silver
Composer(s): Ed Kirkeby; Thomas Fats Waller

Come in this house
Stop all of that yakety yak
Come in this house woman
Stop all of that yakety yak
Stop your yakin' woman

You talk all day woman
You're talkin' 'bout this and that

A honey hush you're talking to me
A honey hush you're talking to

Well hi ho-a-hi ho silver
Hi-ho, a-hi-ho silver

Talkin' 'bout this and that
Don't make me nervous
I'm holding a baseball bat

A honey hush

You're talking too
(honey, honey, honey, honey, honey)
Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey
(honey, honey, honey, honey, honey)
You're talkin' too
Stop that yakin'
I'm takin' no more of your stuff

Oh hi ho-a-hi ho silver
Hi ho, a-hi-ho silver
Hi ho, a-hi-ho silver
Hi ho, a-hi-ho silver
Hi-ho silver, hi-ho silver away

Starbright


Starbright
Composer(s): Lee Pockriss - Paul Vance
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis



Starbright I have made a wish upon you
Now my heart is counting on you
Won't you grant my wish tonight

Starbright won't you glow with all your splendor
Won't you make her heart surrender
Won't you make her mine tonight

Help me, help me make her heart discover
Just how much I really love her
Help me make her mine tonight

Oh starbright since you know how much I need her
Can you spare some light to lead her
To my empty arms tonight

Oh starbright since you know how much I need her
Can't you spare some light to lead her
To my empty arms tonight

Oh starbright

Little By Little (Laura & The Lovers)


Little By Little
Composer(s): Bobby Ljunggren - William 'Billy' Butt
First performance by: Laura & The Lovers - 2005



Night shadows falling
I hear you calling
We're finally talking
Your words touch my soul

It's taken a long time
To get inside your mind
I know it's not easy
But baby, we're two of a kind

Ooh... little by little
I'm getting close to your heart
When we're together
Looks like we're making a start

Little by little
I see that look in your eyes
Each time you touch me
I want to reach out for you

No more confusion
It ain't no illusion
This is a fusion
Of body and mind

We're meant for each other
So baby, come on, hold me tight
We'll make it together
As we fly into the night

Ooh... little by little
I'm getting close to your heart
When we're together
Looks like we're making a start

Little by little
I see that look in your eyes
Each time you touch me
I want to reach out for you

Mmm... little by little

Little by little
I'm getting close to your heart
When we're together
Looks like we're making a start

Little by little
I see that look in your eyes
Each time you touch me
I want to reach out for you

Little by little by little by little by little
Little by little by little by little by little

You're messing up my life
Tearing me apart
Breaking up my world
And I'm giving up my heart
Little by little by little by little

I'm losing all my pride

Little by little
Bit by bit I should stop caring
But my love won't quit

On a losing streak
But I'm a-gonna get you back

Ah, ah, ah, little by little

Hi And Si Of Jaytown


Hi And Si Of Jaytown
Performer(s): Steve Porter & Byron G. Harlan



Way last summer, I think it was in May
Ol' Si Hubbard to me did say
"They say there's a circus comin' to town
Suppose you and I go see the clown"

So we sold our barley, our oats and our corn
In fact, we almost cleaned out our barn
And with that money bought us two new suits
High top hats and red top boots

And when that circus came to town
Si and I were the first ones at the ground
Si says to I, "Let's go get tight
Tear down the tents, let's start a fight"

"Not much" says I, "We'll raise no feud"
For I was afraid of the old 'hay rube'
So Si proposed some red lemonade
And some goober peas, for which I paid

'Twas a jolly good cuss who kept that store
We thought when he asked us to have some more
"Oh, I like you boys for straight
Don't stand back, for I'll stand treat"

So Si and I both pitched right in
And how we ate indeed was a sin
But when we turned to go away
We heard that goldarn sharker say

"Four dollars here, you rubes, don't wait
Get off to the sideshow or you'll be late"
So Si and I paid that cash like a darn fool cuss
And off to the sideshow we did rush

The sights we seen within that show
Was enough to turn your whiskers green
Tattooed men all covered with ink
A dog-faced boy called the missing link

Si didn't know that a parrot could talk
'Til he up and called him a country gawk
So Si got mad and flew in a rage
He knocked that goldarn bird clear out of his cage

Hey, You!


Hey, You!
Composer(s): Frank Orth; Oliver Drake
Performer(s): Ann Codee



Hey, you
With the naughty eye
When you pass us by
We just have to cry
"Hey, you! Yoo-hoo!"

When we see your smile
And that sweet profile
We dream all the while
Of you

Hey, you!
'Til we meet again
At the Place Madeleine
On the rue Lorraine
We two

And if you care for me
And be my sweet cherie
Yoo-hoo!
I'd go for you

(Hey, you!)
With the Naughty eye
When you pass us by
We just have to cry
"Hey, you! Yoo-hoo!"

When we see your smile
And that sweet profile
We dream all the while
Of you

(Hey, you!)
'Til we meet again
At the Place Madeleine
On the rue Lorraine
We two

And if you care for me
And be my sweet cherie
Yoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
How I'd go for you!

Love?


Love?
Composer(s): Karl Broderick
First performance by: Donna & Joe - 2005



Love can build you up
Love can tear you down
Love can change the world
This is what I've found

Love can make you happy
Love can make you cry
Love can be the best
Until it's passed you by
(Love, love, love)

Do you wanna, do you wanna
Do you wanna fall in love?
Do you need it? Can you feel it?
Do you think you're strong enough?

Can you take the highs?
Can you take the lows?
Can you handle everything love throws?

Love can build you up
Love can tear you down
Love can change the world
This is what I've found

Love can make you happy
Love can make you cry
Love can be the best
Until it's passed you by
(Love, love, love)

If you want it, come and get it
Even though you know the score
I will love you, I will hate you
Then I'll love you even more

Can you handle love?
Can you handle pain?
Can you handle everything I'm sayin'?

Love can build you up
Love can tear you down
Love can change the world
This is what I've found

Love can make you happy
Love can make you cry
Love can be the best
Until it's passed you by
(Love, love, love)

Love will capture you whole
With your body and soul
Love is taking control of your senses

Love is guilty as tried
Love has no alibi
Love is breaking down all your defences
Love

Love can make you sorry
Love can make you weep
Love can take you over
Even when you sleep

Love can give you heaven
Love can make you high
Love can make you cheat
And love can make you lie

Love can build you up
Love can tear you down
Love can change the world
This is what I've found

Love can make you happy
Love can make you cry
Love can be the best
Until it's passed you by

Oh western union man
Send a telegram to my baby
Send a telegram, send a telegram
Who, send a telegram to my baby
This is what I want you to do
I want you to tell her that I'm all alone
I tried to call her on the phone
Tell her I'm in misery
And think she's avoiding me
And if the telegram don't do
Send a box of candy too
And maybe some flowers
Tell her that I missed her for hours and hours
Send a telegram, send a telegram
Send a telegram man
To my baby you hear what I say
Oh western union man send a telegram
Send a telegram to my baby
Oh western union man
Hey send a telegram
Send a telegram, send a telegram
Oh send a telegram to my baby
This is what I want you to do
Listen, tell me have you got a boy you can send
This is what I want him to do
Put him on his bike right away
See if he can get my message through
Maybe tomorrow
But mail it right away
I want the girl to know that I miss her
Something like yesterday
Send a telegram, send a telegram man
To my baby
Do you hear what I say
Oh western union man why don't you send a telegram
Oh send a telegram to my baby
Western union man send a telegram
Oh send it right on to my baby
Hey western union man
Send a telegram, send a telegram

Love (Blue)


Love
Composer(s): Hugh Nicholson
Performer(s): Blue



I feel her love
Embrace my soul
She fills my heart
She makes me whole

I touch her fingertips
I feel her love
I fall into her eyes
I need her love

She never ceases to amaze me
When she says the things
I've never heard before
And love I've never known
'cause my mind was truly blown, over her

Love, love, all I need is you
Love, love, I never shall be blue

She never ceases to amaze me
When she says the things
I've never heard before
And love I've never known
'cause my mind was truly blown, over her

Love, love, all I need is you
Love, love, I never shall be blue
Love, love, all I need is you
Love, love, I never shall be blue

Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye


Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye
Composer(s): Leonard Cohen
Performer(s): Leonard Cohen;
and various other artists



I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm
your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new
in city and in forest they smiled like me and you
but now it's come to distances and both of us must try
your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye

I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time
walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme
you know my love goes with you as your love stays with me
it's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea
but let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie
your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye

I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm
your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
yes many loved before us, I know that we are not new
in city and in forest they smiled like me and you
but let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie
your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye

Star of hope, star of love
Shine down from afar
You’re the one guiding light
No matter where we are

Through the long, dreary years
You’re the star up there, star of hope
From heaven above
Let each beam guide our dream
Leading to hope and love.

Through the long weary years

If I Had Your Love
Composer(s): Þorvaldur Bjarni Þorvaldsson - Vignir 'Viggi' Snær Vigfusson - Selma Björnsdóttir - Linda Thompson
First performance by: Selma - 2005



If I had your love
You would be what most inspires me
Sacred soul, fantasy, brightest light
Guiding me on wings

You would be the heart inside me
What I'd wish on a star
All to me, that is what you are

If I had your love
I could live my dream
Flying high above everything
If I had your love
You would light my world
That would be enough
If I had your love

Oh... if I held you close
Feeling your heart beat beside me
Fast asleep, wide awake, every step
Every move I make

If I had your love
I could live my dream
Flying high above everything
If I had your love
You would light my world
That would be enough
If I had your love

If I had your love
I'd live out my dream
Flying high above
Oh yeah...

If I had your love
I could live my dream
Flying high above everything

If I had your love
You would light my world
That would be enough
If I had your love

Star Eyes
Composer(s): Don Raye - Gene de Paul
First performance/First recording/First release by:
Helen O'Connell & Bob Eberly/Stephane Grappelli/Jimmy Dorsey's Orchestra - 1943
Covered by multiple other artists



Star Eyes
That to me is what your eyes are
Soft as stars in April skies are
Tell me some day you'll fulfill
Their promise of a thrill
Star Eyes
Flashing eyes in which my hopes rise
Let me show you where my heart lies
Let me prove that it adores
That loveliness of yours
All my life I've felt
Content to stargaze at the skies
Now I only want to to melt
The stardust in your eyes
Star Eyes
When if ever, will my lips know
If it's me for whom those eyes glow?
Makes no diff'rence where you are
Your eyes still hold my wishing star
Oh, Star Eyes, how lovely you are

Some Day The Sun Won't Shine For You


Some Day The Sun Won't Shine For You
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull; Blodwyn Pig



In the morning gonna get my things together
Packing up and leaving this place
I don't believe your crying
There'll be a smile upon your face

I didn't think how much you hurt me
There's something that I'll laugh about
Bring in the good times, baby
And let the bed times out

That old sun keeps on shining
But some day it won't shine for you
In the morning I'll be leaving
I'll leave your mother too

Hey, Mister Sun


Hey, Mister Sun
Composer(s): Danny Janssen
Performer(s): Bobby Sherman



When I got up this morning
I said Good Morning Mr. Sun
I've been looking through the raindrops much too long
I need someone
I can tell you where my mind is at
If you will take the time to listen
Cause it's such a lovely morning
Won't you walk with me
And talk with me Mr. Sun

I've been running all my life now
In search of something I can't find
I've been chasing rainbows
And they're just visions in my mind
There are a lot of lonely people just like me that need someone
To walk with and talk with sometimes Mr. Sun

Hey Mr. Sun
You can change the night to day
You can chase away the rainbows they're just illusion anyway
When I'm standing in the rain
You can come and be my friend
You can make the storm clouds break
And let the sun shine through again

And tomorrow when I'm dreaming
Of some mountain I will climb
You can tap me on the shoulder
And whisper to me from behind
Please remind me of the yesterdays
I tried it all alone
You can tell me that's it's time again
To walk again
And talk again with you
Mr. Sun
