When Numbers Get Serious
When Numbers Get Serious
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Paul Simon
I have a number in my head
Though I don't know why it's there
When numbers get serious
You see their shape everywhere
Dividing and multiplying
Exchanging with ease
When times are mysterious
Serious numbers are easy to please
Take my address
Take my phone
Call me if you can
Here's my address
Here's my phone
Please don't give it to some madman
Hey hey, whoa whoa
Complicated life
Numbers swirling thick and curious
You can cut them with a knife
You can cut them with a knife
Two times two is twenty-two
Four times four is forty-four
When numbers get serious
They leave a mark on your door
Urgent. Urgent.
A telephone is ringing in the hallways
When times are mysterious
Serious numbers will speak to us always
That is why a man with numbers
Can put your mind at ease
We've got numbers by the trillions
Here and overseas
Hey hey, whoa whoa
Look at the stink about Japan
All those numbers waiting patiently
Don't you understand?
Don't you understand?
So wrap me
Wrap me
Wrap me do
In the shelter of your arms
I am ever your volunteer
I won't do you any harm
I will love innumerably
You can count on my word
When times are mysterious
Serious numbers
Will always be heard
When times are mysterious
Serious numbers will always be heard
And after all is said and done
And the numbers all come home
The four rolls into three
The three turns into two
And the two becomes a
One

There ain't no use
In hanging round
No there ain't no use
I'm gonna put you down
There's no room left in my heart
For you
Ain't no use
For you to cry
Ain't no use
This is goodbye
You done me wrong
So many times
Now I'm through
The best years of my life
You just wasted away
You caused so many tears
Now the time has come when you must pay
Ain't no more for you say
Ain't no more for you to say
Just take your love and go away
And it's time [we can] leave
Don't return
Baby it ain't no use
if you leave, don't return
'Cause it just ain't no use

I love a sweet lollipop
Tell me what is sweeter

From someone who can be
Oh, so sweet to me

All the little birdies go "tweet tweet tweet!"
And in the ev'ning when the sun goes down
It's never dark when she's around
She's so affectionate and I'll say this
That when she kisses me I sure stay kissed!
When my Sugar walks down the street
The little birdies go "tweet tweet tweet!"

Performer(s): The Drifters
Ev'ry time my baby and I have a quarrel
I swear I won't give in
Then my baby starts to smile at me
and I know, I know I just can't win
When My Little Girl Is Smiling
There's nothing more I can say
I see those big bright eyes
and then I realize
that girl is gonna get her way
When My Little Girl Is Smiling
I can't stay mad at her for long
Why should I want to fight
when I can hold her tight?
I just don't care who's right or wrong
When My Little Girl Is Smiling
it's the greatest thrill there can be
She gets her way it's true
but I know I won't be blue
as long as she just smiles for me

Ain't No Sun Since You've Been Gone
Composer(s): Cornelius Grant - Sylvia Moy - Norman Whitfield
Performer(s): Dusty Springfield
and multiple other artists
Into my life
You brought a glowing love
Like a ray of sunshine
From up above
One day out of a clear blue sky
You darkened my life with your words "goodbye"
That's the day you left me for a stranger
Don't you know that when you left my life
Took on a change-a?
Now I'm telling you it
Ain't no sun since you've been gone
There's a big black cloud hanging over my head
Cloud of loneliness I feel like I'm dead
Ain't no flowers blooming round here for sure
Since you chose to love me no more
I guess you know you took my sunshine away from me baby, boy
You took the life from my world
Crushed my dreams
And I don't mean maybe, baby, baby
And it ain't no sun since you've been gone
Oh, my future, my future
Was as bright as the sun, yes it was
I ain't got no future since you've been gone
I guess you know you took my sunshine away from me baby, yes you did
You took the life from my world
Crushed my dreams
And I don't mean maybe, baby, baby
It seems like night in the middle of the day
Everything around me is faded and grey
Cold are the days
Dark creeps the night
Never bringing you back into my life
It ain't no sun since you've been gone
You took my sunshine away, yeah ooh, ooh, ooh
You took my sunshine away, yes you did, ooh, ooh, ooh
You took my sunshine away, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh
You took my sunshine away, oh

When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again
Composer(s): Gene Sullivan; Wayne Walker
Performer(s): Merle Haggard
When my blue moon turns to gold again
When the rainbow turns the clouds away
When my blue moon turns to gold again
You'll be back in my arms to stay
Memories that linger in my heart
Memories that make my heart grow cold
But someday they'll live again, sweetheart
And my blue moon again will turn to gold
The lips that used to thrill me so
Your kisses were meant for only me
In my dreams they live again, sweetheart
But my blue moon is just a memory
The castles we used to build together
Were the sweetest stories ever told
Maybe we will live them all again
And my blue moon again will turn to gold

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

But we won't let nothin' hold us back
we're putting our selves together

If you felt we've been held down before
I know you'll refuse to be held down anymore!

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

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

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

Now everything I ever done, was only done for you
But now you can go and do, just what you wanna do

Coz I ain’t gonna be made to look a fool no more
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
I should ‘ave known it all along
That darlin’, there ain’t no pleasin’ you
You only ‘ad to say the word
And you knew I’d do it
You ‘ad me where you wanted me
But you went and blew it
Now everything I ever done, was only done for you
But now you can go and do, just what you wanna do
I’m tellin’ you
Coz I ain’t gonna be made to look a fool no more
You done it once too often, what do ya take me for?
Oh darlin’, there ain’t no pleasin’ you
Now if you think I don’t mean what I say, and I’m only bluffin’
You got another thing comin’, I’m tellin’ you that for nothin’
Coz darlin’ I’m leavin’
That’s what I’m gonna...do-oo-oo

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
