Again (Ida Lupino)
Again
Composer(s): Dorcas Cochran - Lionel Newman
Performer(s): Ida Lupino
and multiple other artists
Again, this couldn't happen again
This is that once in a lifetime
This is the thrill divine
What's more, this never happened before
Though I have prayed for a lifetime
That such as you would suddenly be mine
Mine to hold as I'm holding you now and yet never so near
Mine to have when the now and the here disappear
What matters, dear, for
When this doesn't happen again
We'll have this moment forever
But never, never again (never, never)
We'll have this moment for ever
But never, never again (never, never)

Agadoo
Agadoo
Composer(s): Delancray - Giuliana Peramezza - Mya Simille
Performer(s): Black Lace
and multiple other artists
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with the hula melody
I met a hula mistress somewhere in Waikiki
Well, she was selling pineapple, playing ukulele
And when I went to the girl, "Come on and teach me to sway"
She laughed and whispered to me, "Yes, come tonight to the bay"
The lovely beach, in the sky the moon of Kauai
Around calypso sarong we'll all be singing this song
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with the hula melody
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with the hula melody
And down on the shore they gather romance
She showed me much more, not only to dance
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with the hula melody
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with the hula melody
The lovely beach, in the sky the moon of Kauai
Around calypso sarong we'll all be singing this song
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with the hula melody
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with the hula melody

What's Love Got To Do With It?
What's Love Got To Do With It?
Composer(s): Terry Britten; Graham Lyle
Performer(s): Tina Turner
You must understand
that the touch of your hand
makes my pulse react
that it's only that thrill
of boy meeting girl
opposites attract
It's physical
only logical
You must try to ignore
that it means more than that
(Chorus)
Oh What's love got to do with it
What's love but a second-hand emotion
What's love got to do with it
Who needs a heart
When a heart can be broken
It may seem to you
That I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If I tend to look dazed
I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase for it
But whatever the reason
You do it for me
(Chorus)
I've been thinking of a new direction
But I have to say
I've been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel that way
What's love got to do with it
What's love but a sweet old-fashioned notion
What's love got to do with it
Who needs a heart
When a heart can be broken

Aftertones
Aftertones
Composer(s): Janis Ian
Performer(s): Janis Ian
Sometimes it's all too much to say aloud
The sound's a shroud
The meanings crowd
Sometimes the words are painful to the ear
They disappear and nothing's clear
And all that's left of me are aftertones
I take them home
We live alone
But I remember chains of melody
It pleases me
This song's for free
Within the mem'ries of our life gone by
Afraid to die, we learn to lie
And measure out the time in coffee spoons
In fading suns and dying moons
Till all that's left to see are aftertones
And no one knows where meaning goes
But I remember chains of melody
It pleases me
This song's for free
And, ooo, I like the sound
Of harmony from time to time
I really do believe
In some kind of tomorrow
When it speaks to me

What's In A Kiss?
What's In A Kiss?
Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
What's in a kiss?
Have you ever wondered just what it is
More perhaps than just a moment of bliss
Tell me what's in a kiss?
What's in a dream
Is it all the things you'd like to have been
All the places that you haven't yet seen
Tell me what's in a dream
I know it's really rather stupid of me
But I honestly don't know
Every time I try to find a solution
I'm surprised at how quickly I become so slow
What's in a kiss?
Have you ever wondered just what it is
More perhaps than just one moment of bliss
Tell me what's in a kiss?
And any time you need a light refreshment
Baby you can count on me
I am your very own delicatessen
Well equipped to supply you with your every need
Well what's in a kiss?
Have you ever wondered just what it is
More perhaps than just one moment of bliss
Tell me what's in a kiss?
Tell me what's in a kiss?
Tell me what's in a kiss?

Afternoon Tea
Afternoon Tea
Composer(s): Ray Davies
Performer(s): The Kinks
Tea time won't be the same without my Donna
At night I lie awake and dream of Donna
I think about that small cafe
That's where we used to meet each day
And then we used to sit a while
And drink our afternoon tea
I'll take afternoon tea (afternoon tea)
If you take it with me (afternoon tea)
You take as long as you like
'Cause I like you, girl
I take sugar with tea (afternoon tea)
You take milk if you please (afternoon tea)
Like you talking to me
Because you ease my mind
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)
Tea time still ain't the same without my Donna
At night I lie awake and dream of Donna
I went to our cafe one day
They said that Donna walked away
You'd think at least she might have stayed
To drink her afternoon tea
I'll take afternoon tea (afternoon tea)
If you take it with me (afternoon tea)
You take as long as you like
'Cause I like you, girl
I take afternoon tea (afternoon tea)
Every day of the week (afternoon tea)
Please come along if you like
Because I like you, girl
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)

Afternoon Delight
Composer(s): Bill Danoff
Performer(s): Starland Vocal Band
and multiple other artists
Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight
My mother's always been, when it's right it's right
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day
Then we know the night is always gonna be here anyway
Thinking of you's working up an appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together make the sparks ignite
And the thought of rubbin' you is gettin' so excited
Sky rocket's in flight, afternoon delight
Afternoon delight, afternoon delight
Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though a fish could not be caught who didn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin'
And I think I might try nibbling a little afternoon delight
Sky rocket's in flight, afternoon delight
Afternoon delight, afternoon delight
Be waiting for me, baby, when I come around
We can make a lot of lovin' 'fore the sun goes down
Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ignite
And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting
Sky rocket's in flight, afternoon delight
Afternoon delight, afternoon delight
Afternoon delight, afternoon delight

Composer(s): Rory Gallagher
Performer(s): Taste
What's going on
Can you correct my vision?
Helping my decision
What's going on
If you know what I'm meaning
You won't find me kneeling
Should I be standing on a chair?
My hands are waving in the air
You know as well as I do now
I'm going to get to you somehow
What's going on
Everyone acts crazy
Yes or no means maybe
What's going on
Could you correct my vision?
Helping my decision

So listen up baby

It's everything I need to know
Just resting in the afterglow of your love

Afterglow (Leo Reisman)
Afterglow
Composer(s): Al Stillman - Samuel "Buck" Ram - Oscar Levant
Performer(s): Leo Reisman
and multiple other artists
The stars refuse to shine
Since you're no longer mine
No crescent moon above
Without your love
Afterglow
The spark of a love that's lost
Afterglow
As pale as the wintry frost
Long ago our love was a fountain of fire
You filled my soul with one desire
Afterglow
No longer my heart will dance
Burning low
The embers of our romance
Still I know
Those embers would burst into flame
If you but called my name

What's Forever For
What's Forever For
Composer(s): Rafe VanHoy
Performer(s): Anne Murray;
and various other artists
I've been lookin' at people
And how they change with the times
And lately all I've been seein' are people
Throwin' love away and losing their minds
Maybe it's me who's gone crazy
'Cause I can't understand why
All these lovers keep hurtin' each other
When love is so hard to come by
So what's the glory in living?
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me what's forever for?
I've been listenin' to people
And they say love is the key
And it's not my way to let them lead me astray
It's only that I want to believe
I see love-hungry people
Tryin' their best to survive
While in their hands is a dying romance
And they're not even tryin' to keep it alive
So what's the glory in living?
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me what's forever for?
So what's the glory in living?
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me what's forever for?

Afterglow (Genesis)
Afterglow
Composer(s): Tony Banks
Performer(s): Genesis
Like the dust that settles all around me
I must find a new home
The ways and holes that used to give me shelter
Are all as one to me now
But I, I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before
I miss you more
Than the sun reflecting off my pillow
Bringing the warmth of new life
And the sounds that echoed all around me
I caught a glimpse of in the night
But now, now I've lost everything
I give to you my soul
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none, no thing, no one
And I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before
For now I've lost everything
I give to you my soul
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none
I miss you more

First performance by: Johnny Logan - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists
I've been waiting such a long time
Looking out for you, but you're not here
What's another year?
I've been waking such a long time
Reaching out for you, but you aren't near
What's another year?
What's another year
For someone who's lost everything that he owns?
What's another year
For someone who's getting used to being alone?
I've been praying such a long time
It's the only way to hide the fear
What's another year?
What's another year
For someone who's lost everything that he owns?
What's another year
For someone who's getting used to being alone?
I've been crying such a long time
With such a lot of pain in every tear

First release by: Henry Burr & Albert Campbell - 1918
Covered by multiple other artists
Now won't you listen honey, while I say
How could you tell me that you're goin' away?
Don't say that we must part
Don't break your baby's heart
You know I've loved you for these many years
Loved you night and day...
Oh! honey baby, can't you see my tears?
Listen while I say
After you've gone and left me cryin'
After you've gone there's no denyin'
You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad
You'll miss the dearest pal you've ever had
There'll come a time, now don't forget it
There'll come a time when you'll regret it
Someday, when you grow lonely
Your heart will break like mine and you'll want me only
After you've gone, after you've gone away
After you've gone and left me cryin'
After you've gone there's no denyin'
You're gonna feel blue, and you're gonna feel sad
You're gonna feel bad
And you'll miss, and you'll miss,
And you'll miss the bestest pal you ever had
There'll come a time, now don't forget it
There'll come a time when you'll regret it
But baby, think what you're doin'
I'm gonna haunt you so, I'm gonna taunt you so
It's gonna drive you to ruin
After you've gone, after you've gone away

What's A Poor Girl Gonna Do?
What's A Poor Girl Gonna Do?
Composer(s): Blanche Calloway
Performer(s): Blanche Calloway
Can't help sighin', feel like dyin
Technocrats are prime mechanical men
Machinery will ruin me
Ain't been so worried in I don't know when!
What's a poor gal gonna do with a man of steel?
One who has been wired for sound, and ain't got no sex appeal?
What's a poor gal gonna do with a mechanical man?
One who is neither Democrat nor Republican?
Gals nowadays are energetic, athletic, and poetic
Without a chance of ruination
What will be their inspiration?
Lordy, hear me while I pray
Please don't take the men away
If they leave this world, I'm asking you
What's a poor gal gonna do?
What's a poor gal gonna do with a man of steel?
One who has been wired for sound, and ain't got no sex appeal?
What's a poor gal gonna do with a mechanical man?
One who is neither Democrat nor Republican?
Gals nowadays are modernistic, want their loving futuristic
Believe me, there's no substitute
For a great big he-man brute
Lord, hear me while I pray
Please don't take the men away
If they leave this world, I'm asking you
What's a poor gal gonna do?
