High Society Calypso


High Society Calypso
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Louis Armstrong; Two Of A Kind



(Armstrong)
Just dig that scenery floating by
We're now approaching Newport, Rhode I.
We've been, for years, In Variety
But, Cholly Knickerbocker, now we're going to be

(All)
In High, High So-
High So-ci-
High So-ci-ety

(Armstrong)
I wanna play for my former pal
He runs the local jazz festival
His name is Dexter and he's good news
But sumping kind of tells me that he's nursing the blues

(All)
In High, High So-
High So-ci-
High So-ci-ety

(Armstrong)
He's got the blues 'cause his wife, alas
Thought writing songs was beneath his class
But writing songs he'd not stop, of course
And so she flew to Vegas for a quickie divorce

(All)
In High, High So-
High So-ci-
High So-ci-ety

(Armstrong)
To make him sadder, his former wife
begins tomorrow a brand-new life
She started lately a new affair
And now the silly chick is gonna marry a square

(All)
In High So-
High So-ci-
High So-ci-ety

(Armstrong)
But, Brother Dexter, just trust your Satch
To stop that wedding and kill that match
I'll toot my trumpet to start the fun
And play in such a way that she'll come back to you, son

(All)
In High, High So-
High So-ci-
High So-ci-ety

Twist Of Love


Twist Of Love
Composer(s): Niels Drevsholt
First performance by: Sidsel Ben Semmane - 2006



Once upon a time there was this guy called Johnny
He was kinda shy and so in love with Connie
But so was O'Smarty, who played it cool
The king of the party, but oh... what a fool
(What a fool)

He didn't know how to twist
He didn't know how to make a girl insist
He didn't know how to move, he didn't feel the groove
He didn't know how to twist

Twist, he didn't know how to twist
He didn't know how to move, he didn't feel the groove
He didn't know how to twist

Once upon a night there was this guy called Johnny
He was kinda high and dancing with his honey
The queen of the party proclaimed him king
While poor ol' O'Smarty was left in the ring

He didn't know how to twist
He didn't know how to make a girl insist
He didn't know how to move, he didn't feel the groove
He didn't know how to twist

Twist, he didn't know how to twist
He didn't know how to move, he didn't feel the groove
He didn't know how to twist
Hit it, Johnny

A twist of love, a twist of pain
A twist of me and you
A twist of things you can't explain
Will make your dream come true

Be sure you know how to twist
Be sure you know how to make a girl insist
Be sure you know how to move, be sure you feel the groove
Be sure you know how to twist

Oh... (Twist)
Yeah, twist
Be sure you know how to move, be sure you feel the groove
Be sure you know how to twist

Be sure you know how to move, be sure you feel the groove
Be sure you know how to twist

A Star Fell Out Of Heaven


A Star Fell Out Of Heaven
Composer(s): Mack Gordon - Harry Revel
Performer(s): Vera Lynn
and multiple other artists



There was I, all alone, gazing at a friendless sky
How could I help but sigh, romance had passed me by
There was I, all alone, my heart was sadly neglected
Then love came along so unexpectedly, for me

A star fell out of heaven, right into my arms
A star fell out of heaven, right into my dreams
And since that very moment, life is so divine
I never heard a star speak before
This one said : "Will you be mine?"

Then roses fell from heaven to be your bouquet
And dew rained down from heaven to christen the day
A miracle had happened, as they sometimes do
A star fell out of heaven and turned out to be you

Then roses fell from heaven to be your bouquet
And dew rained down from heaven to christen the day
A miracle had happened, as they sometimes do
A star fell out of heaven and turned out to be you

High Powered Love


High Powered Love
Composer(s): Tony Joe White
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris



I've been running low on inspiration
Tired of the physical intrigue
There's nothing left to imagination
Living in a world that treats love so carelessly
Don't want no smooth Tallinn' lover
I can't play the role
It just leaves me cold
I need a high powered love
I wanna feel that lightning streak
High powered love
Got to be down in the heart with me
Sometimes it's hard to keep believing
Too many pretty faces all skin deep
Now is there anyone left with teeth just a little uneven
And won't spend more time a mirror than he does with me
If you're looking for a good time
A notch on your gun
I ain't the one
I want a high powered love
Got to have intensity
High powered love
Don't start the fire if you can't take the heat
I can't turn back I'm on a mission
I know there's someone out there for me
I need a high powered love
One that'll defy gravity
High powered love
Got to be strong and keep on lifting me
Yeah I need a high powered love
I wanna feel the lightning streak
High powered love
Got to be down in the heart with me
Got to be down in the heart with me

Stars Fell On Alabama


Stars Fell On Alabama
Composer(s): Frank Perkins - Mitchell Parish
Performer(s): Guy Lombardo
and multiple other artists



We lived our little drama
We kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama last night

I can't forget the glamour
Your eyes held a tender light
And stars fell on Alabama last night

(I never planned in my imagination a situation so heavenly)
(A fairy land where no one else could enter)
(In the center, just you and me, dear)

My heart beat like a hammer
My arms wound around you tight
And stars fell on Alabama last night

(I never planned in my imagination a situation so heavenly)
(A fairy land where no one else could enter)
(In the center, just you and me, dear)

My heart beat like a hammer
My arms wound around you tight
And stars fell on Alabama last night

High On A Windy Hill


High On A Windy Hill
Composer(s): Alex Kramer; Joan Whitney
Performer(s): Glenn Miller;
and various other artists



High on a windy hill
I feel my heart stand still
All I can hear you calling my name
Into a misty blue
I go in search of you
There in the shadows calling your name
Why are you just beyond me
When will I see your face
Why do you just elude me
And leave me this lonely space
Oh, into eternity your love will beckon me
I can't forget your voice that calls my name

Into eternity your love will beckon me
I can't forget your voice that calls my name..

No No Never


No No Never
Composer(s): Jane Comerford
First performance by: Texas Lightning - 2006



My love is stronger now than you'll ever know
And it won't ever let you go
My love is wider than the ocean can be
And it's deeper than the deep blue sea

My love goes higher than a mountain can rise
And I see it there, in your eyes
My love gets tougher when the going gets rough
And believe me, I got more than enough

Keep tryin', babe, keep holdin' on
There's a place we belong
Where things are good, where love is strong

I'm never ever gonna leave you to cry on your own
Never ever gonna not go and pick up the phone
I'm never ever gonna let you be chilled to the bone
No, no, never
No, no, never

I'm never ever gonna leave when you're lost in the storm
Never ever gonna not keep you safe where it's warm
I never ever will desert you when your heart is torn
No, no, never
No, no, never

My love shines brighter than a twinklin' star
Baby, no matter where you are
And my love keeps burnin' like an eternal flame
You can feel it when I'm callin' your name

Keep tryin', babe, keep holdin' on
There's a place we belong
Where things are good, where love is strong

I'm never ever gonna leave you to cry on your own
Never ever gonna not go and pick up the phone
I'm never ever gonna let you be chilled to the bone
No, no, never
No, no, never

I'm never ever gonna leave when you're lost in the storm
Never ever gonna not keep you safe where it's warm
I never ever will desert you when your heart is torn
No, no, never
No, no, never

Oh... never ever gonna leave you to cry on your own
Never ever gonna not go and pick up the phone
I'm never ever gonna let you be chilled to the bone
No, no, never
No, no, never

No, no, never
No, no, never

High On A Mountain


High On A Mountain
Composer(s): Steve Katz
Performer(s): Blood, Sweat & Tears



High on a mountain where the sun still shines
And the water runs a little lazy
Wild-eyed and lonely, running out of time
Some will say I died half-crazy

One time a hustler took me for a ride
All because I tried to deceive her
She broke me down and laughed and left me weak inside
The more I lost my pride, the more it pleased her

Carry me 'cross the water
I've been over there once before
Stayed with a poor man's daughter
I can't live in this country no more

Death beds and ragged threads are my last home
Someone should have known of my ending
Born bad, I killed a man for sympathy
Ain't much left of me worth defending

Carry me 'cross the water
I've been over there once before
And I stayed with a poor man's daughter
I can't live in this country no more

Stars (Are The Windows Of Heaven)


Stars (Are The Windows Of Heaven)
Composer(s): Tommie Malie - Jimmy Steiger
Performer(s): Ruth Etting
and multiple other artists



Two little kids, watching the sky
One of them said, I wonder why
All of the stars are shining so bright
When there wasn't a star last night
I've often wondered, what is a star
The other one said, "Here's what they are...."

Stars are the windows of heaven
Where Angels peek through
Up in the sky they keep an eye
On kids like me and you

They cry each time we are naughty
Their tear drops are the rain
But when we're good
They are smiling and they shine again

Stars are the windows of heaven
Where Angels peek through

High On A Hilltop


High On A Hilltop
Composer(s): Joe South
Performer(s): Joe South



Away from the noise and up above the mad rushing crowd
There's a place where a little guy can stand mighty tall and proud
And sometimes late, late, late in the evening
When there's nobody else around
I can be found, looking down on the town
High on a Hilltop
There's a half million people all scramblin round down there below
Just a face in the crowd, there I was just an hour ago
But now late, late, late, in the evening
When the world's got the best of me
Oh and I gotta be free, that's where I'll be
High on a Hill top, high on a hilltop baby
High on a hilltop, high on a hilltop, oh yeah
I can find piece of mind in the shade of a big oak tree
And when it comes my time that's where God's gonna look for me
And everyday late, late, late in the evening
When the rest of the world goes by
And I won't cry, up next to the sky
High on a hill top, high on a hilltop baby
Why don't you come along
That's where we belong, yeah, way up high
You can take my hand, take your piece of land, yeah
High on a hill top, drop what you're doin
Meet Me Up There, oh where the air is rare
You can see everything, high on a hilltop
Meet me High on a hilltop

I Do (Fabrizio Faniello)


I Do
Composer(s): Aldo Spiteri - Fabrizio Faniello
First performance by: Fabrizio Faniello - 2006



'Cause I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I love you like a fool
(Love you like a fool)

I've been there by your side
We've been laughing, we have cried
Kept the piece of heart you gave
From our breakup day

You left me, still, I know
You didn't have a choice
Waiting for the day we're back together

I won't give you up, I'll never stop
I got a piece of your heart, I can't get enough
'Cause I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I love you like a fool
(Love you like a fool)

Our lives were torn apart
I know we'll get a brand new start
When the world just can't decide
Where we lay our love

We've done our time alone
And never will again
Waiting for the day we're back together

I won't give you up, I'll never stop
I got a piece of your heart, I can't get enough
'Cause I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I need you

I won't give you up, I'll never stop
I got a piece of your heart, I can't get enough
'Cause I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I love you like a fool
(Love you like a fool)

Waiting for the day when I hear you say
Our love is here to stay

I won't give you up, I'll never stop (Never stop)
I got a piece of your heart, I can't get enough
'Cause I do, I do, I do (Oh yes, I do)
I do, I do, I need you

I won't give you up, I'll never stop
I got a piece of your heart, I can't get enough
'Cause I do, I do, I do (Yes, I do)
I do, I do, I do (Yes, I do)
I do, I do, I love you like a fool
(Love you like a fool)

High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me)


High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me)
Composer(s): Ned Washington; Dimitri Tiomkin
Performer(s): Frankie Laine;
and various other artists



Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'
On this, our weddin' day
Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'
Wait, wait along

I do not know what fate awaits me
I only know I must be brave
And I must face a man who hates me
Or lie a coward, a craven coward
Or lie a coward in my grave

Oh, to be torn 'twixt love and duty
S'posin' I lose my fair-haired beauty
Look at that big hand move along
Nearin' high noon

He made a vow while in state prison
Vowed it would be my life or his'n
I'm not afraid of death but oh
What will I do if you leave me?

Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'
You made that promise as a bride
Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'
Although you're grievin', don't think of leavin'
Now that I need you by my side

Wait along, (wait along) wait along
Wait along, wait along
(Wait along, wait along, wait along, wait along)

Stars


Stars
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg



Stood out in the rain, let it soak me down
Before I called you, I called you
Didn’t see me there, hidden by the rain
Beneath your window, but I saw you
Putting on your face before the mirror on the wall
Dreaming that the looking glass was me
Catching your fondest gazes, living through your fickle phases
I love you...

And it’s getting easier each day to weep about you
Harder every night to sleep without you----ou
How many years must I be driven by this dream of love with
You

Spend my dimes on phones, trying just to talk
But you don’t answer, you let it ring
Spend my nights alone, catching falling stars
To give to you, love, they’re just for you
For stars fall every time a lover has to face the truth
And far too many stars have fell on me
And as they trail the skies, and burn their paths across my eyes
I cry

And it’s getting easier each day to weep about you
Harder every night to sleep without you----ou
How many years must I be driven by this dream of love with
You

High Hopes


High Hopes
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; James Van Heusen
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



Next time your found, with your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned, so look around

Just what makes that little old ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can't
Move a rubber tree plant

But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes

So any time your gettin' low
'stead of lettin' go
Just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant

When troubles call, and your back's to the wall
There a lot to be learned, that wall could fall

Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram, scram
He kept buttin' that dam

'Cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes
He had high apple pie, in the sky hopes

So any time your feelin' bad
'stead of feelin' sad
Just remember that ram
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam

All problems just a toy balloon
They'll be bursted soon
They're just bound to go pop
Oops there goes another problem kerplop

Un Blodymary


Un Blodymary
First performance by: Las Ketchup - 2006



Un Bloody Mary, por favor

Juro por Dios que no quise
Pero está pegao
Todo fue limpio y certero
Yo era la otra, la tonta, será pringao
Chulito de medio pelo
Maravillosa me puse
Lo he dejado tirao
Chico Martini perverso
Mucha palabra de lava tiene el desgraciao
Pero éste a mí no me engaña

Puedo ser de barrio bajo underground
Pero mi corazón se te ha declarao
Duty free, duty free, duty free
Un Bloody Mary, por favor

Paso bailando las horas
Él, desesperao en la barra, toma que toma
Echa miradas que matan
Lo tengo picao
Por dentro muere y yo loca

Puedo ser de barrio bajo underground
Pero mi corazón se te ha declarao
Duty free, duty free, duty free
Un Bloody Mary, por favor

Hubiera o hubiese habido un buen vacilón
Pintaba pluscuamperfecto
Pero tu tiempo mira, se terminó
La noche empieza de nuevo

La luna cambió de rumbo
Y me vi dando tumbos
Buscando el ambiente frenéticamente
Y mira, que punto que tiene el asunto
De nuevo tú y yo, frente a frente

Puedo ser de barrio bajo underground
Pero mi corazón se te ha declarao
Duty free, duty free, duty free
Un Bloody Mary, por favor

Hubiera o hubiese habido un buen vacilón
Pintaba pluscuamperfecto
Pero tu tiempo mira, se terminó
La noche empieza de nuevo

Hubiera o hubiese habido un buen vacilón
Pintaba pluscuamperfecto
Pero tu tiempo mira, se terminó
La noche empieza de nuevo

Un Bloody Mary, por favor

Performer(s): Richard Hell



High on your heels, your heels are wheels
Metal will rattle
Buttery leather a whole lot better

Yes your slipper made Jack the Ripper
Melt in his belt
High heel shoes they kick the blues

Your boots so pink that I can't think
Your heels so high oh my we'll fly
We'll move so fast won't nothin catch
Our high heel wheels, our high heel wheels
We'll steer by the stars in our high heeled cars

Got your roots inside your boots

Your boots so pink that I can't think
Your heels so high oh my we'll fly
We'll move so fast won't nothin catch
Our high heel wheels, our high heel wheels
We'll steer by the stars in our high heeled cars

Starry Eyed
Composer(s): Mort Garson - Earl Shuman
First release by: Gary Stites - 1959



Why am I so starry eyed
Starry eyed and mistified
Every time I look at you
Falling stars come into view

Can it be that am in love
With an angel from above
I asked my heart my heart replied
Yes that's just why your so starry eyed
(That's just why your so starry eyed)

When we touch I hear angles sing (Starry eyed)
When we kiss I hear wedding bells ring (Starry eyed)
Can't explain what I feel inside
But I know it's love, true love at last
I know why I'm starry eyed
Starry eyed and mistified
All my dreams are coming true
Just because I'm so in love with you

(Starry eyed) When we touch I hear angles sing
(Starry eyed) When we kiss I hear wedding bells ring
(Starry eyed) I can't explain what I feel inside
But I know it's love, true love at last
I know why I'm starry eyed
Starry eyed and mistified
All my dreams are coming true
Just because I'm so in love with you

Starry eyed
Starry eyed

High Germany


High Germany
(Traditional)



Oh Polly love, oh Polly the rout has now begun
And we must go a marching at the beating of the drum
Go dress yourself all in your best and come along with me
I'll take you to the war me love in High Germany

Oh Willy love, oh Willy come list to what I say
My feet they are so tender, I can not march away
And besides my dearest Willy I am with child by thee
Not fitted for the war me love in High Germany

I'll buy for you a horse me love and on it you shall ride
And all my life I'll be there riding by your side
We'll stop at every ale-house and drink when we are dry
We'll be true to one another, get married bye and bye

Oh cursed be the cruel wars that ever they should rise
And out of merry England press many a man likewise
They pressed my true love from me, likewise my brothers three
And sent them to the wars me lad in High Germany

My friends I do not value nor my foes I do not fear
Now my love has left me I wander far and near
And when my baby it is born and smiling on my knee
I'll think of lovely Willy in High Germany

Oh Polly love, oh Polly the rout has now begun
And we must go a marching at the beating of the drum
Go dress yourself all in your best and come along with me
I'll take you to the war me love in High Germany
