Keep The Customer Satisfied


Keep The Customer Satisfied
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Simon & Garfunkel;
Liz Larsen; Gary Puckett; Buddy Rich



Gee but it's great to be back home
Home is where I want to be.
I've been on the road so long my friend
And if you came along
I know you couldn't disagree

Chorus:
It's the same old story
Everywhere I go
I get slandered
Libelled
I hear words I never heard In the Bible
And I'm one step ahead of the shoeshine
Two steps away from the county line
Just trying to keep my customers satisfied
Satisfied.

Deputy Sheriff said to me
Tell me what you come here for, boy
You better get your bags and flee
You're in trouble boy,
And you're heading into more

Chorus:

Doesn't Anybody Love Me?


Doesn't Anybody Love Me?
Composer(s): Benny Davis - Ted Murry
Performer(s): The McGuire Sisters



Doesn't anybody love me? Doesn't anybody care?
Doesn't anybody want me, anybody, anywhere?

I ain't never had no lovin', I'm so tired of bein' blue
Ev'rybody needs somebody, and I need somebody too

There must be someone for ev'ryone, they say
That's why I ask myself a million times a day

Doesn't anybody hear me when I say my lonely prayer?
Doesn't anybody love me? Doesn't anybody care?

There must be someone for ev'ry single one they say
That's why I ask myself a million times a day

Doesn't anybody hear me when I say my lonely prayer?
Doesn't anybody love me? Doesn't anybody care?

If Ever A Heart Was In The Right Place


If Ever A Heart Was In The Right Place
Composer(s): Harry M. Woods
Performer(s): Henry Hall



If ever a heart was in the right place, it's yours
If I need a hand in any tight place, it's yours
If I were lost out in the ocean
I know that somewhere in that ocean
You and your devotion
Would be the life preserver for me

If ever a smile was any sweeter, it's yours
If ever a love made life completer, it's yours
For when I hold you close to me
It's then I know most of all
If ever a heart was in the right place, it's yours

If Dreams Came True


If Dreams Came True
Composer(s): Robert Allen; Al Stillman
Performer(s): Pat Boone



Oh my darling, oh my lover
If dreams came true, dear
I'd dream you everything
That you would always
Be happy as a king
If dreams came true, dear
No trouble would you see
Just song and laughter
To keep you company
Oh my darling, oh my lover
In your heart you would soon discover
Song and laughter ever after
From the dreaming I'd do
If dreams came true
(Oh my darling, oh my lover)
If dreams came true, dear
I'd dream you paradise
A moonlit garden
And stars to match your eyes
But as for me, dear
My world is all agleam
For I have you, dear
And have no need to dream
Oh my darling, oh my lover
In your arms is where I discover
More than moonlight, more than starlight
More than dreaming could do
If dreams came true

Keep The Fires Burnin'


Keep The Fires Burnin'
Composer(s): Willie Hutch
Performer(s): Gwen Guthrie



Yeah
Can you feel it?
I can
It’s good
Mmm, yeah
Now move with it, mmm, hmm

Everybody that’s on the dance floor
I want you to put your hands together
And just move your hips from side to side
(Keep the fires burnin’) Yeah, that’s it, you got it, mmm hmm
Now mister DJ (Keep the fires burnin’)
I want you to, come on count with us
It’s your turn to be a star
Ooh... (Keep the fire burnin’)
Ooh...hoo...yeah, can you feel it

Keep the fires burnin’
Keep the fires burnin’
Keep them burnin’ hot
Work on your love, yeah
You got to give it all you’ve got

We spent a lot of time searching for love
And never know where it’s comin’ from
And as soon as we get it
Somehow we seem to think that our work is done

But the same thing you took to get that love
Are the things that you’ll have to do to keep it
You gotta stay on your J-O-B
You gotta give a little, take a lot, give it all you’ve got, oh

Keep the fires burnin’
Keep the fires burnin’
Keep them burnin’ hot
You gotta work on your love, yeah
You gotta give it all you’ve got

We say a lot of things that we really mean
To each other when love is new
Lots of promises and all the things we’ve said
And the things we intended to do

But as time goes by, things get cold and dry
There’s no more water in the well
And there ain’t no way that two can come together
If we stay locked in our shell, oh

Keep the fires burnin’
Keep the fires burnin’
Keep them burnin’ hot, y’all, uh-huh
You gotta work on your love, yeah
You got give it all you’ve got

We spent a lot of time searching for love
And never know where it’s comin’ from
And as soon as we get it
Somehow we seem to think that our work is done

But the same thing you took to get that love
Are the things that you have to do to keep it
You gotta stay on your J-O-B, yeah
You gotta give a little, take a lot, give it all you got

Keep it burnin’
Keep it burnin’
Oh, Lord, it’s good
Oh, keep the fires burnin’
Keep the fires burnin’
Keep them burnin’ hot oh oh oh
Keep it burnin’
Uh-huh, yeah...eah...ooh...

So darling please wait for me

The stars up in the sky...

If All The World Were Paper


If All The World Were Paper
Composer(s): Walter Bullock; Harold Spina
Performer(s): Shirley Temple



I can't show how much I love you
In this little face I've got
I don't know how much I love you
But it's an enormous lot

If all the world were paper
And all the seas were ink
I'd write a great big note to you
And tell you what I think
I'd say "I love you dearly"
In letters three miles high
And sign it "Yours sincerely"
Cross my heart and hope to die

If all the stars were diamonds
In golden skies above
They wouldn't be worth that
Without your love
I'd like to write "I love you"
So big that you would blink
If all the world were paper
Yes, and all the seas were ink

Keep The Home Fires Burning


Keep The Home Fires Burning
Composer(s): Ivor Novello; Lena Guilbert
Performer(s): John McCormack;
and various other artists



They were summoned from the hillside
they were called in from the glen
And the country found them ready at the stirring call for men
Let no tears add to their hardships
as the soldiers pass along
And although your heart is breaking
make it sing this cheery song

Keep the Home Fires Burning
While your hearts are yearning
Though your lads are far away they dream of home
There's a silver lining, through the dark clouds shining
Turn the dark cloud inside out, 'til the boys come home

Overseas there came a pleading
"Help a nation in distress"
And we gave our glorious laddies, honor bade us do no less
For no gallant son of freedom to a tyrant's yoke should bend
And a noble heart must answer to the sacred call of "Friend"

Keep the Home Fires Burning
While your hearts are yearning
Though your lads are far away they dream of home
There's a silver lining, through the dark clouds shining
Turn the dark cloud inside out 'til the boys come home

Nights Are Longer


Nights Are Longer
Composer(s): Tommy Deering
Performer(s): The Four Freshmen



Nights are longer since you went away
I'll grow stronger each passing day
A season turned, a lesson learned, someday I shall be wise
I'll remember just how heartbreak feels
When I gaze in someone's eyes

I'll be lonesome, but I'll show no grief
They say heartbreak soon finds relief
And then one day I'll realize that it was meant to be
Since you went away from me

And then one day I'll realize that it was meant to be
Since you went away from me

If A Man Answers


If A Man Answers
Composer(s): Bobby Darin
Performer(s): Bobby Darin



If a Man Answers your phone when I call
Oh, there's gonna be some screamin' that ain't all
'Cause if I'm here callin' you
Then who's the who I'm talkin' to?
Why any fool could see
That for sure it ain't me
If a Man Answers your phone then honey we're through!

Now everything between us used to be fine
Till I became a third party
When there ain't no party line
You-hear-me-talkin'

Gonna hang this phone up now and dial again
Oh and their better be a soprano on the other end
'Cause if the voice is baritone
When you told me you'd be home alone
Well,then I'm wastin' my time
Not to mention my dime
So, If a Man Answers your phone then honey I'm gone!

Keep The Mask On The Lone Ranger


Keep The Mask On The Lone Ranger
Composer(s): John T. Douglas
Performer(s): John T. Douglas



It's plain to see our laws keep getting stranger everyday
The courts won't rest until they've taken all our rights away
Ain't nothing sacred anymore and everyone's in danger
When some fool thinks he can take the mask off the Lone Ranger

Now I'm not one to criticize the way our courts are run
And I don't complain about the harm some liberals have done
But this time they've gone one step too far, they're hitting close to home
We've got to let them know that the Lone Ranger's not alone

So come on everyone, let's get behind our Lone Ranger
He's fighting bad guys once again and his career's in danger
They're trying to take his mask away and give it to a stranger
So let's do all we can to keep the mask on the Lone Ranger

For over thirty years Clayton's lived up to the task
Now some judge has decided he's not fit to wear that mask
Well, it don't make no difference what that judge might have to say
Ain't nothing gonna make it right to take that mask away

So come on everyone, let's get behind our Lone Ranger
He's fighting bad guys once again and his career's in danger
They're trying to take his mask away and give it to a stranger
So let's do all we can to keep the mask On the Lone Ranger

Our courts are all mixed up about just who the bad guys are
Or maybe they don't know that the Lone Ranger wears a star
I guess it's up to you and me to see justice gets done
'Cause if they take his mask away they're hurting everyone

So come on everyone, let's get behind our Lone Ranger
He's fighting bad guys once again and his career's in danger
They're trying to take his mask away and give it to a stranger
So let's do all we can to keep the mask on the Lone Ranger

What Will I Tell My Heart


What Will I Tell My Heart
Composer(s): Irving Gordon - Jack Lawrence - Peter Tinturin
Performer(s): Eddy Howard



I'll try to explain to friends, dear
The reason we two are apart
I know what to tell our friends, dear
But what can I tell my heart?

It's easy to say to strangers
That we played a game from the start
It's easy to lie to strangers
But why tell a lie to your heart?

When I smile to hide all the tears inside
What an ache it will bring
Then I'll wander home to a telephone
That forgot how to ring

I could say you'll soon be back, dear
To fool the whole town may be smart
I'll tell them you'll soon be back, dear
But what can I tell my heart?

Wild Bill Hiccup


Wild Bill Hiccup
Composer(s): Brandt; Morgan
Performer(s): Spike Jones & His City Slickers



Singers:
Here is a western we saw last night
Full of action and dynamite
We thrilled and nearly stood on our head
From the moment the hero walked in and said

Bill:
I'm Wild Bill Hiccup and I'm brave and strong
I been ridin' the range for six months long
I been ridin' the range a-roundin' up cattle
I got so many blisters, I'm tall in the saddle

Pete:
I am a villain, I'm mean as can be
I hate the hero 'cause he sings off-key
I'm an ornery cuss and I'm so full o' lead
When a rattlesnakes bites me, he drops down dead
Why, chewing on bullets is my daily routine
(Spitoon Sound) See what I mean?

Indian:
Ugh, me indian, nice and tanned
Uuh, me also businessman
We're taking scalps to make a penny
Sell them to man named Jack Benny

Singers:
Our story takes place in a lawless town
They'd called on Hiccup to tame things down
He has just arived and who should he meet
But a no-good outlaw Poison Pete

Bill:
Pete, I hear you've been a-rustling again

Pete:
And I blew up the bank and I shot twenty men
I held up the stagecoach, and robbed the mail car

Bill:
One of these days you're gonna go too far

Bill:
So you think that you're a pretty good fighter

Pete:
You should have seen what I did to Pink Rider

Bill:
You mean Red Rider?

Pete:
No, he changed his name
He got faded last week in a big crap game

Pete:
I think you're a coward through and through
I'm gonna tell the whole town what I think of you
(Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!) So there!

Bill:
Shootin' off your mouth won't get you anywhere

Bill:
You better leave town if you wanna live
Or I'll fill you full with holes till you look like a sieve
My old six-shooter is a-achin' to spout

Pete:
You better cover up the muzzle, the candy's falling out

Singers:
Now the mood of our story changes fast
Hiccup is back on his ranch at last

Bill:
Well, here I am, I better get dressed
I've got a heavy date, I wanna look my best
I'll take a quick shower and smell like a flower
(Quick Shower Noise) That was a mighty quick shower

Bill:
Who's a-knockin' at my door

Annie:
It's Gopher Annie, the girl you adore

Bill:
Gopher Gal, you've changed somehow

Annie:
Do I look like a cowgirl?
Bill:
No, like a cow

Annie:
Bill, do you like the perfume in my hair

Bill:
Is that the perfume you always wear?

Annie:
No, this is stronger, it's more alive

Bill:
What do you call it?

Annie:
Corral number five

Bill:
Gal, I can see you've been ridin'

Annie
Of course, and I had to put the blindfold on the horse

Bill:
Blindfold a horse, you're crazy in the head

Annie:
If he sees what he's carrying, I'm afraid he'll drop dead

Bill:
Gal, I loves ya, deep down inside
And I've been needin' a wife since old Kate died

Annie:
What, stop just staring, why don't you propose?

Bill:
I can't find a ring the size of your nose

Bill:
Anyway I've got to find Poison Pete
I think he's hidin' at Girdle Creek

Annie:
Girdle Creek, there must be a catch
Is it far from here?

Bill:
It's quite a stretch

Bill:
Well, here we are, it's the end of the ride
Pete and his gang are waitin' inside
Now here's my plan, be as quiet as a mouse
I'll sneak in, and you surround the house

Annie:
Here's your gun

Pete:
I don't need a gun
I'm gonna throw that gang out, one by one

Annie:
I hope you know what you're talking about

Pete:
You just count 'em as I throw 'em out

Annie:
One!

Pete: Stop counting, that's me!

You better go now
Because I like you much too much
You have a way with you
You ought to know now
Just why I like you very much
The night was gay with you!

There's the moon above
And it gives my heart a lot of swing
In your eyes there's love
And the way I feel it must be Spring!

I want you so now
You have lips I love to touch
You better go now
You better go because I like you much too much

There's the moon above
And it gives my heart a lot of swing
In your eyes there's love
And the way I feel it must be Spring!

I want you so now
Have lips I love to touch
You better go now
You better go because I like you much too much
You better go because I like you much too much

If (Pink Floyd)


If
Composer(s): Roger Waters
Performer(s): Pink Floyd



If I were a swan I'd be gone
If I were a train I'd be late
And if I were a good man
I'd talk with you more often than I do

If I were asleep I could dream
If I were afraid I could hide
If I go insane
Please don't put your wires in my brain

If I were the moon I'd be cool
If I were a book I would bend
If I were a good man
I'd understand the spaces between friends

If I were alone I would cry
And if I were with you, I'd be home and dry
And if I go insane
Will you still let me join in with the game

If I were a swan I'd be gone
If I were a train I'd be late again
If I were a good man
I'd talk to you more often than I do

Blue December


Blue December
Composer(s): Arthur Berman - Ralph Care - Marvin Kahn
Performer(s): Hugo Winterhalter



I remember one blue December
As the snow fell, I fell in love
Till we met that December, my winters were grey
But you changed blue December to May

Then our romance, just like the snow flakes
Disappeared when winter was through
With each December, each blue December
I remember sweet mem'ries of you

Then our romance, just like the snow flakes
Disappeared when winter was through
With each December, each blue December
I remember sweet mem'ries of you
