Composer(s): Terry Thompson
First release by: Arthur Alexander - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists
Well, if your hands start a-clapping
And your fingers start a-popping
And your feet start a-moving around
And if you start to swing and sway
When the band starts to play
A real cool way out sound
And if you get to can't help it and you can't sit down
You feel like you got to move around
You get a shot of rhythm and blues.
With just a little rock and roll on the side
Just for good measure. Get a pair of dancing shoes
Well, with your lover by your side
Don't you know you're gonna have a rocking time, come on!
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
If you start to dance and sing
And chills come up on you
And if the rhythm finally gets you and the beat gets you too
Well, here's something for you to do
Get a shot of rhythm and blues
With just a little rock and roll on the side
Just for good measure
Get a pair of dancing shoes
Well, with your lover by your side
Don't you know you're gonna have a rocking time, come on!
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
If you start to dance and sing
And chills come up on you
And if the rhythm finally gets you and the beat gets you too
Well, here's something for you to do
Get a shot of rhythm and blues
Get a pair of dancing shoes
Get a shot of rhythm and blues
Well, with your lover by your side
Don't you know you're gonna have a rocking time, come on!
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
If you start to dance and sing
And chills come up on you
And if the rhythm finally gets you and the beat gets you too
Well, here's something for you to do
Well, here's something for you to do
Well, here's something for you to do

Waitin' For The Wind
Waitin' For The Wind
Composer(s): Luther Grosvenor; Mike Harrison; Gary Wright
Performer(s): Spooky Tooth
Lonely is the night
Now that darkness has fallin'
Nothing seems right
And the world is callin'
Everybody's looking back
As the wind comes whispering by
The're waitin' for the answers then
Like the time they heard a cry
Hang on
Don't ever go
Life's here
I know
Wind called on me
How it took me by surprise
Cause night come upon me
Creeping through the distant skies
Wind tell me what you can
'Bout the life - what I came from
A breeze blew and whispered then
In a voice rich as the sun
Hang on
Don't ever go
Life's here
I know

A Shine On Your Shoes
A Shine On Your Shoes
Composer(s): Arthur Schwartz - Howard Dietz
Performer(s): Roger Wolfe Kahn
and multiple other artists
When there's a shine on your shoes
There's a melody in your heart
With a singable, happy feeling
What a wonderful way to start
To face the world every day
With a "deedle-um-dee-di-di"
Little melody that is making the world go by
When you walk down the street
With a happy-go-lucky beat
You'll find a lot in what I'm repeating
When there's a shine on your shoes
There's a melody in your heart
What a wonderful way to start the day

Waitin' For The Train To Come In
Composer(s): Martin Block; Sunny Skylar
Performer(s): Peggy Lee;
and various other artists
Waitin' for the train to come in
Waitin' for my man to come home
I've counted every minute of each live-long day
Been so melancholy since he went away
I've shed a million teardrops or more
Waitin' for the one I adore
I'm waitin' in the depot by the railroad track
Lookin' for the choo-choo train that brings him back
I'm waitin' for my life to begin
Waitin' for the train to come in
I'm waitin' in the depot by the railroad track
Lookin' for the choo-choo train that brings him back
I'm waitin' for my life to begin
Waitin' for the train to come in
Waitin', just waitin'
I'm waitin' for the train to come in

A Shark In Jet's Clothing
A Shark In Jet's Clothing
Composer(s): Jimmy Destri
Performer(s): Blondie
I always had my eyes on you but you came from across the line
I had to make good time to see you but you had to pay the fine
All the boys on my side knew that you were the shark
If you were found on the borderline you'd be shot in the dark
Don't wear those clothes again, they don't make it in this crowd
Don't go out D.T.K., you'll wear your best suit in the ground
We're meeting in a neutral zone: the last car on the train
The love you brought shaking up my bones and crawling through our veins
We always met at the edge of a blade and we left at the end of the fight
Of all the girls you've played and you laid why did this one have to be white?
They're gonna get ya at 12 o'clock high, got their sights set low on you
You better believe me, I wouldn't lie. We better quit before you're through
They're gonna get ya at 12 o'clock high, got their sights set low on you
You better believe me, I wouldn't lie
We better quit before you're through

Wait Until Tomorrow
Wait Until Tomorrow
Composer(s): Jimi Hendrix
Performer(s): Jimi Hendrix;
and various other artists
Well, I'm standing here freezing, inside your golden garden
Got my ladder leaned up against your wall
Tonight's the night we planned to run away together
Come on Dolly Mae, there's no time to stall
But now you're telling me that ah...
I think we better wait till tomorrow
I think we better wait till tomorrow
I think we better wait till tomorrow
Got to make sure it's right
So, until tomorrow, goodnight
Oh, Dolly Mae
How can you hang me up this way
On the phone you said you wanted to run off with me today
Now I'm standing here like some turned-down serenading fool
Hearing strange words stutter from the mixed-up mind of you
And you keep telling me that ah...
I think we better wait till tomorrow
I think we better wait till tomorrow
I think we better wait till tomorrow
Got to make sure it's right
So, until tomorrow, goodnight
See if I can talk to this girl alone
Oh, Dolly Mae, girl, you must be insane
So unsure of yourself leaning from your unsure window pane
Do I see a silhouette of somebody pointing something from a tree?
Click, bang
Oh, what a hang
Your daddy just shot poor me
And I hear you say, as I fade away
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
It must not have been right, so forever, goodnight
Do I have to wait, do I have to wait
It's a drag on my part
Don't have to wait, don't have to wait

A Sermon
A Sermon
Composer(s): Stewart Copeland
Performer(s): The Police
When you reach number ten
And think the struggle ends
But it ain't the end
It's only a trend
You have to unbend
'Cause it's only a trend
Don't lose all your friends
Don't make heroes end
When you reach number eight it ain't no pearly gate
'Cause it won't satiate your growing appetite
You can ply your trade and push your crusade
Emancipate or indoctrinate, but the
Traps are all laid for any honest crusade
Your old values will fade as you struggle to make the grade
As you struggle to make the grade
As you struggle to make the grade
You needn't bother
When you hit number four you're almost through the door
But there's a whole lot more you just can't ignore
The telephone's sure, you know the score
But don't let this uproar dissipate your encore
It's written in the news how you paid your dues
But you've no excuse for the people you abuse
When you reach number one you can beat your drum
You can sack your roadies in Birmingham
When your record is platinum, you can stick it to the bath
To the wall like you've always planned
It's written in the news how you paid your dues
There's no excuse for the people you abuse
When you reach to the top
Who do you abuse?
No excuse
For the people you abuse
You've got no excuse
For the people you abuse

Wait Until Dark
Wait Until Dark
Composer(s): Ray Evans; Jay Livingston; Henry Mancini
Performer(s): Henry Mancini;
and various other artists
Who cares how cold and grey the day may be
Wait until dark and we'll be warm
Our place of love, is where we face our dreams together
Where our fantasies take fold
When I can feel your nearness in the night
My dissapointments disappear
The chilliest day may bring us little dreams
That seem to miss their mark
But, oh my darling, wait until dark

Serenade To A Jerk
Serenade To A Jerk
Composer(s): Wayne Hoefle - Del Porter
Performer(s): Spike Jones & his City Slickers
I shouldn't love him, he's lazy
He sits around while I work
But when he's near me my heart sings
A serenade to a jerk
Sometimes he's stupid and hazy
Sometimes his brain doesn't hurt
Still the guy plays on my heart strings
A serenade to a jerk
Oh maybe I'm a little fool
For loving the guy the way I do
Wonder why I'm stuck with him
Leaving him would drive me crazy
I'm sure that it wouldn't work
So I'll pour my heart out by singing
A serenade to a jerk
Oh I shouldn't love him, he's lazy
He sits around while I work
Ah but when he's near me my heart sings
A serenade to a jerk
Sometimes he's stupid and hazy
Sometimes his brain doesn't hurt
Still the guy plays on my heart strings
A serenade to a jerk
Oh maybe I'm a little fool
For loving the guy the way I do,
Wonder why I'm stuck with him
Leaving him would drive me crazy
I'm sure that it wouldn't work
So I'll pour my heart out by singing
A serenade to a
A serenade to a
A serenade to a jerk

Wait Till The Sun Shines, Nellie
Wait Till The Sun Shines, Nellie
Composer(s): Andrew B. Sterling; Harry von Tilzer
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists
On a Sunday morn sat a maid forlorn
With her sweetheart by her side
Through the windowpane, she looked at the rain
"We must stay home, Joe," she cried
"There's a picnic, too, at the old Point View
It's a shame it rained today"
Then the boy drew near, kissed away each tear
And she heard him softly say
"Wait till the sun shines, Nellie
When the clouds go drifting by
We will be happy, Nellie
Don't you sigh
Down Lover's Lane we'll wander
Sweethearts you and I
Wait till the sun shines, Nellie
Bye and bye"
"How I long," she sighed, "for a trolley ride
Just to show my brand new gown"
Then she gazed on high with a gladsome cry
For the sun came shining down
And she looked so sweet on the big front seat
As the car sped on its way
And she whispered low
"Say you're all right, Joe
You just won my heart today"

A Sense Of Wonder
A Sense Of Wonder
Composer(s): Van Morrison
Performer(s): Van Morrison
I walked in my greatcoat
Down through the days of the leaves
No before after, yes after before
We were shining our light into the days of blooming wonder
In the eternal presence, in the presence of the flame
Didn’t I come to bring you a sense of wonder
Didn’t I come to lift your fiery vision bright
Didn’t I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame
On and on and on and on we kept singing our song
Over newtonards and comber, gransha and the Ballystockart road
With boffyflow and spike
I said I could describe the leaves for samuel and felicity
Rich, red browney, half burnt orange and green
Didn’t I come to bring you a sense of wonder
Didn’t I come to lift your fiery vision bright
Didn’t I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame
It’s easy to describe the leaves in the autumn
And it’s oh so easy in the spring
But down through January and February it’s a very different thing
On and on and on, through the winter of our discontent
When the wind blows up the collar and the ears are frostbitten too
I said I could describe the leaves for Samuel and what it means to you and me
You may call my love Sophia, but I call my love philosophy
Didn’t I come to bring you a sense of wonder
Didn’t I come to lift your fiery vision
Didn’t I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame
Wee Alfie at the
Castle picture house on the Castlereagh road
Whistling on the corner next door where
He kept Johnny Mack brown’s horse
O solo mio by McGimsey
And the man who played the saw
Outside the city hall
Pastie suppers down at Davey’s chipper
Gravy rings, barmbracks
Wagon wheels, snowballs

Performer(s): Darlene Love;
Ellie Greenwich; Beverley Jones
You've been calling in me every day
Ever since my Bobby went away
You've been knocking on my fromt door
And I know just what you're looking for, but
Even though you really look so fine
And we've been having good times
Chorus:
I'm gonna wait, 'til my Bobby gets home
Wait 'til my baby gets home
Yeah, yeah, yeah you better leave me alone
True I need some lovin' and some kissin' and a huggin'
But I'll wait 'til my Bobby gets home
You wanna take me to a movie show
I gotta tell you that I just can't go
I know Bobby's gonna call tonight
I wanna tell him evey thing's allright, and
Though I haven't got a thing to do
And I'm so lonely and blue

A Secret Love
A Secret Love
Composer(s): Bobby Kimball - David Paich - Steve Porcaro
Performer(s): Toto
He never felt that she cared
Turning to leave
Feeling her lonely stare
If only a secret love
Left more than a broken heart
Like a fool thnks he felt the start
Of what he hoped for so long
He waits though he knows she's gone
Alone he climbs
Until he falls
Only a secret love brings more than a broken heart
Like a fool I have played the part
Of what I hoped for so long
The need to belong...
In love

Scottish Soldier
Scottish Soldier
Composer(s): Andy Stewart
Performer(s): Isla St. Clair
There was a soldier, a Scottish soldier
Who wandered far away and soldiered far away
There was none bolder with good broad shoulder
He fought many affray, and fought and won
He’d seen the glory, he’d told the story
Of battles glorious and deeds victorious
But now he’s sighing, his heart is crying
To leave those green hills of Tyrol
Because those green hills are not highland hills
Or the island hills, they’re not my land’s hills
And fair as these green foreign hills may be
They are not the hills of home
And now this soldier, this Scottish soldier
Who wandered far away and soldiered far away
Sees leaves are falling, and death is calling
And he will fade away in that far land
He called his piper, his trusty piper
And bade him sound a lay
A pibroch sad to play
Upon a hillside, a Scottish hillside
Not on those green hills of Tyrol
Because those green hills are not highland hills
Or the island hills, they’re not my land’s hills
And fair as these green foreign hills may be
They are not the hills of home
And now this soldier, this Scottish soldier
Will wander far no more and soldier far no more
And on a hillside, a Scottish hillside
You’ll see a piper play his soldier home
He’s seen the glory, he’s told the story
Of battles glorious and deeds victorious
The bugle’s ceased now, he is at peace now
Far from those green hills of Tyrol
Because those green hills are not highland hills
Or the island hills, they’re not my land’s hills
And fair as these green foreign hills may be
They are not the hills of home
Because those green hills are not highland hills
Or the island hills, they’re not my land’s hills
And fair as these green foreign hills may be
They are not the hills of home

Wait For Me
Wait For Me
Composer(s): Daryl Hall
Performer(s): Hall & Oates
Midnight hour almost over
Time is running out for the magic pair
I know you gave the best that you have
But one more chance
couldn't be all that hard to bear
Wait for me please
Wait for me
Alright, I guess
that's more than I should ask
Wait for me please
Wait for me
Although I know the light is fading fast
You could go either way
Is it easier to stay
I wonder what you'll do
when your chance rolls around
But you gotta know how much I want to keep you
When I'm away I'm afraid it will all fall down
Love is what it does and ours is doing nothing
But all the time we spent
It must be good for something
Please forgive all the disturbance I'm creating
But you gotta lot to learn if you think that I'm not waiting for you

First release by: Jean Ferrat - 1967
À Santiago de Cuba
À Santiago de Cuba
Le carnaval nous entraîne
Quatre nuits sans perdre haleine
L'orgue oriental se déchaîne
Et moi qui danse comme un troène
À Santiago de Cuba
Le rhum qui coule du tonnerre
La serviette en bandoulière
J'avais l'air de quoi ma mère
Moi moi qui danse comme une soupière
C'était dur
À Santiago de Cuba
Un sombrero fantastique
Un cigare astronomique
La musique la musique
Et moi qui danse comme une barrique
C'était très dur
À Santiago de Cuba
Les petits seins des métisses
Du miel et du pain d'épice
Je côtoie des précipices
Et moi qui danse comme une saucisse
Allez mon vieux, faut tenir, hein
À Santiago de Cuba
