Ain't No Stopping Us Now
Ain't No Stopping Us Now
Composer(s): Jerry Cohen - Gene McFadden - John Whitehead
Performer(s): McFadden & Whitehead
and multiple other artists
We're on the move!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We've got the groove!
There's been so many things that held us down
But now it looks like things are finally comin' around
I know we've got, a long long way to go
and where we'll end up, I don't know
But we won't let nothin' hold us back
we're putting our selves together
we're polishing up our act!
If you felt we've been held down before
I know you'll refuse to be held down anymore!
Don't you let nothing, nothing
Stand in your way!
I want ya'll to listen, listen
to every word I say, every word I say!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We're on the move!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We've got the groove!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We're on the move!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We've got the groove!
I know you know someone that has a negative vibe
and if you're trying to make it they only push you aside
They really don't have, nowhere to go
Ask them where they're going, they don't know
But we won't let nothin' hold us back
we're gonna put our selves together
we're gonna polish up our act!
And if you've ever been held down before
I know you'll refuse to be held down anymore!
Don't you let nothing, nothing
Stand in your way!
I want ya'll to listen, listen
to every word I say, every word I say!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We're on the move!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We've got the groove!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We're on the move!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We've got the groove!

When My Baby Smiles
When My Baby Smiles
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
I don't care if the weather's fair or if skies are gray
I don't frown when the rain comes down on a rainy day
It may storm and thunder for the longest while
Still I'll say it's a lovely day
When I see my baby smile
I don't brood when the price of food goes away up high
Didn't mind when I woke to find, that the town went dry
Let the skies be cloudy for the longest while
Blue or gray, every things O.K.
When I see my baby smile
When my baby smiles at me
Oh what a beautiful day
All my troubles go hurrying by
Just like bubbles they fly to the sky
And I never ask the weather man
Whether it's fair or warmer
Rain or shine the weather's fine when my baby smiles

Ain't No Song
Ain't No Song
Composer(s): Joey Levine - David Spinozza
Performer(s): James Taylor
There ain't no melody
And I can't find a harmony
If there were a way to say it
You know I would have played it
Well, I'm a man of few words
Trying to find a rhyme
And finally it occurred to me
That I'm wasting my time
There ain't no rhyme or reason
Ain't no time or season
Ain't no way around it
I know I would have found it
There ain't no song in the whole wide world
Could hardly sing without you
There ain't no song in the whole wide world
To tell you the way that I feel
Painters use their eyes
To show us what they see
But when that canvas dries
We all see it differently
There ain't black or white
There ain't no day or night
There ain't no way around it
You know I would have found it
No, No, No, I might as well pack it on up
Not even this song's gonna tell you the way that I feel

When Mexico Gave Up the Rhumba (To Do the Rock and Roll)
When Mexico Gave Up the Rhumba
(To Do the Rock and Roll)
Composer(s): Gale Jones
Performer(s): Mitchell Torok
Down in Mexico, at each high noon
Siesta is the thing
You can find me sleepin' out in the shade
While the birds softly sing
But from the radio, there comes a U.S. show
And the disc-jockey's playin' the blues
Before they know what's happened
They're up and clappin'
To the tune of the blue suede shoes
One, two, and then rock
It's the funniest thing ever told
The day that Mexico gave up the rhumba
To do the rock and roll
In the middle of town, the pecker bullring stands
It reaches to the sky
Inside's a matador, he's got his sword in hand
And a bull is fixing to die
But from the phonograph, there comes a frantic sound
And the sword drops from his hands
The bull begins to dance, around in the dust
To the beat of a picker brass band
One, two, and then rock
It's the funniest thing ever told
The day that Mexico gave up the rhumba
To do the rock and roll
In the summertime, the tourists come
Expecting to see the scenes
Of the quiet places and the quiet faces
They read of in magazines
But in their amazement, when they find this craze
Is not in the U.S. alone
They used to dance `neath the stars to the Spanish guitars
But now they do it to a saxophone
One, two, and then rock
It's the funniest thing ever told
The day that Mexico gave up the rhumba
To do the rock and roll

Ain't No Pleasing You
Composer(s): Dave Peacock - Chas Hodges
Performer(s): Chas & Dave
Well I built my life around you, did what I thought was right
But you never cared about me, now I’ve seen the light
Oh darling, there ain’t no pleasin’ you

You done it once too often, what do ya take me for?
Oh darlin’, there ain’t no pleasin’ you
And you seemed to think that everything I ever did was wrong

That darlin’, there ain’t no pleasin’ you
You only ‘ad to say the word

You ‘ad me where you wanted me
But you went and blew it

But now you can go and do, just what you wanna do

Coz darlin’ I’m leavin’

When Love Is Young (Harry Woodruff)
When Love Is Young
Composer(s): Rida Johnson Young - M. Melville Ellis
Performer(s): Harry Woodruff
The beads on the wine in our glorious youth
And life's full of fervor and zest
And the world is made bright by the light of a smile
Or the sound of the voice we love best
There's a thrill of delight in the touch of her hand
All the Earth's bubbling over with joy
Oh! the love that we give to the girls that we love
When we're boys, boys, boys
There are various way that a fellow may love
And most of us sample them all
And the older and stronger you are when it strikes
The harder and deeper you fall
But there's no love on earth that holds half the thrill
No love that has half the joys
As love that we give to the girls that we love
When we're boys, boys, boys
When love is young in Springtime
And boys are youthful, too
And girls are so alluring
What can a fellow do?
A look, a smile, a dimple
You're caught, you're captured, stung
There's danger in the very air
When love is young

Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Composer(s): Nicholas Ashford - Valerie Simpson
First release by: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
If you need me, call me
No matter where you are, no matter how far
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
On that you can depend and never worry
(You see, my love is alive
It's like a seed that only needs the thought of you to grow
So if you feel the need for company, please, my darling, let it be me
I may not be able to express the depth of the love I feel for you
but a writer put it very nicely when he was away from the one he loved
He sat down and wrote these words)
No wind, (No wind) no rain, (no rain)
Nor winter's cold
Can stop me, babe (oh, babe) baby (baby)
If you're my goal
No wind, no rain
Can stop me, babe
If you wanna go
I know, I know you must follow the sun
Wherever it leads
But remember
If you should fall short of your desires
Remember life holds for you one guarantee
You'll always have me
And if you should miss my love
One of these old days
If you should ever miss the arms
That used to hold you so close, or the lips
That used to touch you so tenderly
Just remember what I told you
The day I set you free
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (Say it again)
Ain't no river wild enough
To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (Say it again)
Ain't no river wild enough
To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (One more time)
Ain't no river wild enough (Say it again)
To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
To keep me from you

When Love Is Gone
When Love Is Gone
Composer(s): Michael Morgan; Steve Edward Nelson
Performer(s): Photoglo
When love is gone I always get the feeling
I can't go on, find myself dreamin' of things
That could've been and all the things we never say
Oh, oh, oh, when love is gone
Will it ever be the same
Will I go on chasing heartaches
And learn to face the day
When I have done what I must do
Oh, I'll remember you when love is gone
Everyone's in couples as I walk alone thinkin'
I'll never find another love
Never know the beauty of
Oh, oh, oh, when love is gone
Will it ever be the same
Will I go on chasing heartaches
And learn to face the day
When I have done what I must do
Oohh-oh, I'll remember you, la-la-la....
When love is gone will it ever be the same
Will I go on chasing heartaches
And learn to face the day
When I have done what I must do
Oh, I'll remember you

Ain't No Man Righteous, No Not One
Ain't No Man Righteous, No Not One
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Maria Muldaur; Jah Malla
When a man he serves the Lord, it makes his life worthwhile
It don't matter 'bout his position, it don't matter 'bout his lifestyle
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
And there ain't no man righteous, no not one
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood
He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good
Some like to worship on the moon, others are worshipping the sun
And there ain't no man righteous, no not one
Look around, ya see so many social hypocrites
Like to make rules for others while they do just the opposite
You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag
Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag
In a city of darkness there's no need of the sun
And there ain't no man righteous, no not one
Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame
I never did see no fire that could put out a flame
Pull your hat down, baby, pull the wool down over your eyes
Keep a-talking, baby, 'til you run right out of alibis
Someday you'll account for all the deeds that you done
Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one
God got the power, man has got his vanity
Man gotta choose before God can set him free
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?
Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one
When I'm gone don't wonder where I be
Just say that I trusted in God and that Christ was in me
Say He defeated the devil, He was God's chosen Son
And that there ain't no man righteous, no not one

When Love Goes Wrong
When Love Goes Wrong
Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael; Harold Adamson
Performer(s): Marilyn Monroe
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
This one thing I know
When love goes wrong
A man takes flight
And women get uppity-oh
The sun don't beam
The moon don't shine
The tide don't ebb and flow
A clock won't strike
A match won't light
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
The blues all gather round you
And day is dark as night
A man ain't fit to live with
And a woman's sorry sight
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes, nothing goes rjght
A woman's a fright, a terrible sight
A man goes out, gets high as a kite
Love is something you just can't fight
You can't fight it, honey
You can't fight it
When love goes wrong, nothin'
No bows, honey, just cigat bars and off
Nothing goes right
Crazy, Crazy oui, oui
lt's like we said
You're better off dead
When love has lost its glow
So take this down in black and white
When love goes wrong nothing goes right
When love goes wrong nothing goes right
Nothing goes right

Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around

When Liking Turns To Loving
When Liking Turns To Loving
Composer(s): J. Fishman; K. Young
Performer(s): Ronnie Dove
I hold her hand much tighter now
Stars are shining brighter now and through out the day I find
She's always on my mind
What a wonderful, wonderful feeling
When liking turns to loving
Kiss from her, means so much more
Now I know what kissing for
The tender smiles I use to know, now I cherish so
What a wonderful, wonderful feeling
When liking turns to loving
Just a little girl, (a little girl) now she's my whole world
Music feels the starlet night, when I kiss and hold her tight
And one day just the way we plan, she'll wear my wedding band
What a wonderful, wonderful feeling
When liking turns to loving
And one day just the way we plan, she'll wear my wedding band
What a wonderful, wonderful feeling
When liking turns to loving
What a wonderful, wonderful feeling

Ain't No Law In California
Composer(s): Charlie Daniels
Performer(s): The Charlie Daniels Band
I was hanging in out in L.A. looking for a real cool place to go
I struck up a conversation with this dude wearing hip hop clothes
He said you talk like you're from Texas let me welcome you to our town
An I hope you have a real find day
But don't you let me catch you when the sun goes down
We got scalawags we got queens in drag we got pushers pimps and punks
We got crips and bloods we got dykes and studs
We've got junkies thieves and drunks
This is where the juice got turned aloose and if you ain't caught on yet
Ain't no law in California
Welcome to the wild wild west
He said there's women in this city that are just too low down to crawl
And homeboys packing pieces they'll shoot you just to watch you fall
You'ld better get on back to Hicksville that's the bast thing you can do
There's hustlers hoods and outlaws that'd love to find a country boy like you
We got scalawags we got queens in drag we got pushers pimps and punks
We got crips and bloods we got dykes and studs
We've got junkies thieves and drunks
This is where the juice got turned aloose and if you ain't caught on yet
Ain't no law in California
Welcome to the wild wild west

Music hath charms

Ain't No Good Life
Composer(s): Steve Gaines
Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd
Ain't no good life
Not the one that I lead
'Cause the more I fight the sadness, yeah
It only seems the more that I grieve
Well I look back on the good times
As some lost part of me
I wanna know, tell me why is it so
Well just because I don't pray
Lord, that don't mean I ain't forgiven
Just 'cause I'm alive
That don't mean I'm makin' a livin'
I'm gonna get myself together
I'm gonna try a dyin' attempt
Talkin' about the good times slippin' by
Yeah I tell ya
I don't even know where last month went
Well I can't make no money baby
Well 'cause my money's already spent
And I know where it went
I said it went on that damn rent
Well I don't mean change, baby
I mean foldin' money
Well I want lovin', said I don't need a buddy
I don't need nobody, now
Ain't exactly my idea
Its sort of old, borrowed and blue
Just tryin' to say
Don't try that straight life buddy
Oh you'll find it kind of hard on you
Women, don't try to cook nothin' up, ooh
Brother you know you'll only wind up in your own stew
Just don't let nobody tell you, oh what you oughta do

When Julie Comes Around
When Julie Comes Around
Composer(s): Paul Vance; Lee Pockriss
Performer(s): The Cuff Links
A poem with no rhyme
A clock without time
A ship without sails, just drifting on the water
That's just how I feel
Whenever she's gone
That's just how I feel
My life's unreal
But I go on (and on, and on...)
I wait till Julie comes around, and sings a happy song of summer
And lifts my spirit up, and fills my foolish mind with wonder
She smiles a gentle smile
And suddenly I get that feeling, and then
I'm inside out with love
'Cause Julie's come around again
She's just like a bird
She follows the sun
She spread out her wings
And once again she leaves me
It's always the same
I'm broken in two
But after awhile I always know
What I must do...
I wait till Julie comes around, and sings a happy song of summer
And lifts my spirit up, and fills my foolish mind with wonder
She smiles a gentle smile
And suddenly I get that feeling, and then
I'm inside out with love
'Cause Julie's come around again
When Julie comes around and sings a happy song of summer
And lifts my spirit up, and fills my foolish mind with wonder ...

Composer(s): Hal Bynum - Dave Kirby
Performer(s): Waylon Jennings & Johnny Cash; Ed Bruce
Bet it ain't rainin' back home
Bet your sister's still on the phone
Bet Momma's in the kitchen, cooking fried chicken
Wishing that I hadn't done wrong
Yeah, Momma, don't you worry about it none though
Everything's gonna be all right, Momma
They're teaching us a lot of new things in here, Momma
Things like
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writin' hot cheques, down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang
Papa's readin' yesterday's mail
Wishin' that the hay was all baled
I bet he's a-wishin', we could go fishin'
And here I am a-laying in jail
Well, Papa, don't you worry about it none now
Everything's gonna be all right, Papa
They're teaching us a lesson a day; we're learning pretty well, too
We've already learned a whole lot of stuff already
Things like
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writin' hot cheques, down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writin' hot cheques, down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writin' hot cheques, down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang ...

When Judy Smiled
When Judy Smiled
Composer(s): Jimmy Dean; Casons
Performer(s): Jimmy Dean
Things would go at their usual pace
The hustle and bustle as we ran life's race
But the world somehow was a prettier place
When Judy smiled
And that's just what Judy'ld always do
She made you feel that it was just for you
And things that were old became shiny and new
When Judy smiled
The lovely hours, such joy, such fun
A glance, a touch and my whole world spun an'
I felt like a Hershey that was left in the sun
When Judy smiled
Then I saw a face that was filled with pain an'
She hadn't known that I was near
But for me, through eyes that were filled with tears
I saw her smile.....
Judy smiled
Oh God why? Why her? Why now?
Why not me? I deserve somehow
But she'd never hurt anyone, she didn't know how
She just smiled, she always smiled
Through life's empty streets I walk
See no faces and I hear no talk
Flesh and blood that's turned to chalk
'Cos she no longer smiles
The blade thrust deep, my life ebbs slow
God please forgive, but
I gotta try to go
To where Judy smiles
