When The Bees Make Honey Down In Sunny Alabam'


When The Bees Make Honey Down In Sunny Alabam'
Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis; Joe Young; Walter Donaldson



I just feel like telling the world I'm happy and gay
I just feel like telling you why I'm feeling that way
This is just the time of the year when bees start to buzz
And I've got a bee in my bonnet, simply because

I will be the busiest bee that you ever knew
Sipping honey all thro' the day that's just what I'll do
When the bees are buzzin' away near some Rosemary
How I love to bumble around just take it from me

When the bees make honey down in sunny Alabam'
That's when I said, I'd be sending a telegram
Down to honey suckled home
Where my folks live all alone
They're like a pair of honey bees
In a honey comb
I'm gonna make a beeline straight for home
That's where I am
And I've a plan to buzz around with my honey lamb
Some Sunday afternoon
If I don't get stung, there'll be a honey moon
When the bees make honey, down in sunny
Oh! you Alabam'

Ain't None Of Your Business


Ain't None Of Your Business
Composer(s): Gene Simmons - Eric Carr - Vinnie Vincent
Performer(s): Kiss



Ain't here to tell, so get a grip
I ain't really what you think
I ain't guilty or innocent
Don't play a fool, don't turn your back
You ask me why, well listen Jack

You'd better practice what you preach
'Cause there ain't nothing you can teach me
Won't wear a target on my back
I won't stand for no third degree
I don't care what you think of me

I'll do as I like
I'll do as I please
Don't ask me why

They go to church, they go to school
Ain't none of your business
But I ain't nobody's fool
Ain't none of your business
Make a right, make a wrong
Ain't none of your business
Or I may sing a different song
Ain't none of your business

Don't try to label who I am
It's one thing you'll never understand
Just keep your thoughts to yourself
Don't play a fool, don't turn your back
You ask me why, well listen Jack

I'll do as I like
I'll do as I please
Don't ask me why

Bite off more than I can chew
Ain't none of your business
Don't tell me what to do
Ain't none of your business
They go to church, they go to school
Ain't none of your business
But I ain't nobody's fool
Ain't none of your business
They rule the world, they sell it whole
Ain't none of your business
They socialize, they live a lie
Ain't none of your business
Ain't none of your business

When The Angelus Is Ringing


When The Angelus Is Ringing
Composer(s): Joe Young; Bert Grant



Love time, love time can't you understand when it is love time
Birds sing bells ring, love just seems to ring with every chime
Ding dong dong ding, loves messages they bring

Two hearts true hearts all the world is full of loving sweet hearts
I'll bring the ring, to the pealing of each silvry chime
Ding dong dong ding, all nature seems in rhyme

When the angelus is ringing in the belfry on the hill
And the whirpoolwill is singing in the night, when all is still
I am waiting for the time when I can come to you and sing loves sweet song
While the silvry bells peal out their dong ding dong
Down the road of love we'll wander 'mid the violets perfume to the little cottage yonder
where we'll spend our honeymoon
And as we go through life from year to year
Cares and worries disappear, when the angelus is ringing, dear

Ain't Nobody's Business But My Own


Ain't Nobody's Business But My Own
Composer(s): Irving Taylor
Performer(s): Kay Starr & Tennessee Ernie Ford
and multiple other artists



You got a gal you love on Sunday
Then you get another for Monday

Ain't nobody's business but my own

You say you're always home alone
How come I can't get you on the phone?

Well, that ain't nobody's business but my own

Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but my own

All night long you're playin' poker
Tell me, what's the name of that joker?

Ain't nobody's business but my own

I come over, say, "Here I am"
Then I hear the back door slam

Well, that ain't nobody's business but my own

Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but my own

You tell me you're in bed by seven
But your light's on past eleven

Well, that ain't nobody's business but my own

Now you ain't so smart and you ain't good lookin'
How come you got so much cookin'?

Ain't nobody's business but my own

Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but my own

And you wear the prettiest ties and collars
Whereabouts do you get those dollars?

Ain't nobody's business but my own

You always talk about settlin' down
When I bring a ring, you're not around

Well, I'll be there the next time that you call

Well, let's not fuss and let's not fight

I'm sick and tired of sayin' goodnight

Well, let's make up and hold each other tight

We both know we're birds of a feather
Let's go into business together
We can start a business of our own

Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but my own

When That Man Is Dead And Gone


When That Man Is Dead And Gone
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Al Bowlly;
and various other artists



When that man is dead and gone
When that man is dead and gone
We’ll go dancing down the street
Kissing everyone we meet
When that man is dead and gone

What a day to wake up on
What a way to greet the dawn
Some fine day the news’ll flash
Satan with a small moustache
Is asleep beneath the lawn
When that man is dead and gone

Satan, Satan, thought up a plan
Dressed as a man
Walking the earth and since he began
The world is hell for you and me
But what a heaven it will be

When that man is dead and gone
When that man is dead and gone
When they lay him twelve feet deep
I’ll be there to laugh, not weep
When that man is dead and gone

What a day to wake up on
What a way to greet the dawn
Satan’ll take him by the hand
To meet old Gerring, look what, man
When that man is dead and gone
When that man is dead and gone

Some fine day the news’ll flash
Satan with a small moustache
Is asleep beneath the lawn
When that man is dead and gone

What a day to wake up on
What a way to greet the dawn
When a certain man is dead and gone

'Taint Nobody's Biz-ness if I Do


'Taint Nobody's Biz-ness if I Do
Composer(s): Porter Grainger - Everett Robbins
First release by: Anna Meyers & Original Memphis Five - 1922
Covered by multiple other artists



There ain't nothin' I can do
Or nothing I can say
That folks don't criticize me
But I'm gonna do what I want to anyway
And I don't care just what people say

If I should take a notion to jump into the ocean
't Ain't nobody's bizness if I do

If I go to church on sunday then cabaret all day monday
't Ain't nobody's bizness if I do

If my man ain't got no money and I say take all mine honey
't Ain't nobody's bizness if I do

If I give him my last nickle and it leaves me in a pickle
't Ain't nobody's bizness if I do

I'd rather my man would hit me than for him to jump up and quit me
't Ain't nobody's bizness if I do

I swear I won't call no coppa if I'm beat up by my poppa
't Ain't nobody's bizness if I do

Nobody's bizness, ain't nobody's bizness
Nobody's biznes if I do

When Sunny Gets Blue


When Sunny Gets Blue
Composer(s): Jack Segal; Marvin Fisher
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis



When Sunny gets blue, her eyes get gray and cloudy
Then the rain begins to fall
Pitter-patter, pitter-patter, love is gone so what can matter?
No sweet lovin' man comes to call

When Sunny gets blue, she breathes a sigh of sadness
Like the wind that stirs the trees
Wind that sets the leaves to swayin' like some violins are playin'
Weird and haunting melodies

People used to love to-o-o hear her laugh, see her smile
That's how she got her name
Since that sad affair she's lost her smile, changed her style
Somehow she's not the same

But mem'ries will fade and pretty dreams will rise up
Where her other dreams fell through
Hurry, new love, hurry here to kiss away each lonely tear
And hold her near when Sunny gets blue

Hurry, new love, hurry here to kiss away each lonely tear
And hold her near when Sunny gets blue

(Ain't Nobody Loves You) Like I Do


(Ain't Nobody Loves You) Like I Do
Performer(s): La Toya Jackson



There ain't nobody loves you like I do

You think that I've been cheating
I can see it in your eyes

They say that I've been running round
do you believe in lies ?
Ooh
ooh
loving you
that's all I wanna do

Do I have to prove myself to you ? - Yeah

I wouldn't hurt you baby
don't believe a word they say

After all that we've been through how could I anyway ?
So you think that I could really be so cruel

There ain't no mountain high I wouldn't climb for you 'cause

There ain't nobody loves you like I do

Don't let their jealous talk get through to you
'Cause if they start a rumour that my heart ain't true

Don't let it come between us 'cause there ain't nobody loves you like I do

You got so many questions
I can see it in your face

They say that my affections are somehow out of place
Ooh
ooh
loving you
that's all I wanna do

There's no river deep I wouldn't swim for you 'cause
There ain't nobody loves you like I do

AII this time you were playing on my mind

Didn't think you were the kind to throw it all away
What was I to do
I should've seen right through
AII the bad
bad lies tearing me apart inside!

Ooh
ooh
loving you is all I wanna do

Ooh
there ain't a thing I wouldn't do for you 'cause
There ain't nobody loves you like I do

There ain't nobody loves you like I do

There ain't nobody loves you like I do

When Summer Is Gone


When Summer Is Gone
Composer(s): Sonny Curtis
Performer(s): Gary Lewis & The Playboys



I'll see you in September when summer is gone
Have a good time but remember, I'll be waiting back home
And when you go out dating with some guy all alone
Just remember I'll be waiting when summer is gone

When the warm June nights surround you
Don't fall under his spell
When he puts his arms around you
Remember that I loved you so well

And I'll see you in September when summer is gone
Have a good time but remember
Come back to me when summer is gone

When the warm June nights surround you
Don't fall under his spell
When he puts his arms around you
Remember that I loved you so well

And I'll see you in September when summer is gone
Have a good time but remember
Come back to me when summer is gone

Ain't Nobody Home (In California)


Ain't Nobody Home (In California)
Composer(s): John Kay
Performer(s): John Kay



When I returned here back from the Islands
You know I couldn't say enough 'bout old Kauai
But now I'm out here on the road
Calling friends back home
But I just get the phone machine and this reply

Ain't nobody home in California
All your friends have gone to Molokai
Ain't nobody home in California
Everybody's off to see Hawaii

May your journey seem forever
May the Islands touch your heart
And if you leave it all the way you found it
May the peace that you'll find never part

I wish I'd be there, back in the Islands
You know, I'd ride along the beach at Hana Bay
But I'm stuck in Waco, Texas
At the Paradise Motel
And now there's no one waiting for me in L.A.
'Cause

Nobody's home in California
All your friends have gone to Molokai
Ain't nobody home in California
Everybody's off to see Hawaii

Soon my travels will be over
And soon a plane will take me home
And just as soon I can make it over
I'll be leaving these words on my phone

Ain't nobody home in California…..

When Somebody Thinks You're Wonderful


When Somebody Thinks You're Wonderful
Composer(s): Harry Woods
Performer(s): Fats Waller;
and various other artists



When somebody thinks you're wonderful
What a difference in your day
Seems as though your troubles disappear
Like a feather in your way

When somebody thinks you're wonderful
Tells you with a smile so sweet
What are little stones you're steppin' on
Just a meadow 'neath your feet

And how you meet the morning
You gaily swing along
At night you may be weary
But your heart still sings a song

When somebody thinks you're wonderful
Love is mighty close to you
Just another thing more wonderful
Making all her dreams come true

Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens


Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens
Composer(s): Alex Kramer - Joan Whitney
First release by: Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five - 1946
Covered by multiple other artists



One night farmer brown was takin' the air
Locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care
Down in the hen house something stirred
When he shouted, "who's there?"
This is what he heard

There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So quiet yourself and stop that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
We chickens tryin' to sleep and you bust in
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, with your chin

There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
You're stompin' around and shakin' the ground
You’re Kicking up an ful dust
We chickens tryin' to sleep and you bust in
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, it's a sin

Tomorrow is a busy day
We got things to do, we got eggs to lay
Worms to catch, ground to scratch
It takes a lot of sittin', gettin' chicks to hatch

There ain’t nobody here but us chickens
There ain’t nobody here at all
So quiet yourself and stop that fuss
There ain’t nobody here but us
And kindly point that gun the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble off and hit the hay

Tomorrow is a busy day
We got things to do, we got eggs to lay
Worms to catch and ground to scratch
It takes a lot of settin', gettin' chicks to hatch

There ain’t nobody here but us chickens
There ain’t nobody here at all
So quiet yourself and stop that fuss
There ain’t nobody here but us
And kindly point that gun the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble off and hit the hay

When Something Is Wrong With My Baby


When Something Is Wrong With My Baby
Composer(s): Isaac Hayes; David Porter
Performer(s): Linda Ronstadt



When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong is me
And if I know that she's worried
I know I'd feel the same misery

We've been through so much together
We stand as one
That's what makes it better
When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with me

Just what she means to me now
Oh you just you just wouldn't understand
People can say that she's no good
But she's my woman and I know I'm her man

And if he's got a problem
Woo-oah I know I got to help him solve 'em
When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with me
When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with my baby
When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with me

Ain't Nobody But Me


Ain't Nobody But Me
Composer(s): Rick Davies - Roger Hodgson
Performer(s): Supertramp



Let me tell you a story that'll make a change
Let me tell you when I'm way out of range
It's about a man who's crueler than me
So promise not to cause a scene
Heaven help the one's you love
There's no big need for stars above

Well, you can run, you, know he'll find you
It don't matter now, just look behind you
You had your warn, and you knew the score
You got it wrong, and that means war
So, why'd you have to treat me rough
Your explanation's not enough

Ain't nobody but me
Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you
Ain't no fish in the sea
Gonna sigh for you, gonna try for you
Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you
Wooh

You see, I got a mental disposition
Sometimes, I'm mean, sometimes I'm vicious
I'm Dr. Jekyll, I'm Mr. Hyde
So if you wanna stay alive
Just give me all you've got to give
And, then perhaps I'll let you live

Ain't nobody but me
Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you
Ain't no fish in the sea
Gonna sigh for you, gonna try for you
Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you
Gonna sigh for you, gonna try for you
Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you

(Hush) Now baby, stop your crying
(Oh Yes) I know that I've been lying
(Hush) Now baby, stop your crying
(Oh Yes) I know that I've been lying
(Hush) Now baby, stop your crying
(Oh Yes) I know that I've been lying
(Hush) Now baby, stop your crying
(Oh Yes) I know that I've been lying
AAAaaa

Ain't Nobody


Ain't Nobody
Composer(s): David Wolinski
First release by: Rufus & Chaka Khan - 1983
Covered by multiple other artists



Captured effortlesly
That's the way it was
It happens so naturely
I did not know it was love
The next thing I felt was you
Holding me close
What was I gonna do
I let myself go

And now we fly through the stars
Want this night will last for ever

I've been waiting for you
It's been so long
I knew just what I would do when I heard your song
I fill my heart with your kiss
It gave me freedom
You knew I could not resist
I needed someone

And now we're flying through the stars
I hope this night lasts for ever

Ain't nobody (Nobody)
Loves me better (Loves Me Better)
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way (Nobody)
Ain't nobody (Nobody)
Loves me better (Than You)

I wait for nighttime to come to bring you to me
Can't believe I'm the one
I was so lonely
I feel like noone can feel
I must be dreamin'
I want this dream to be real
I'm in this feeling

I make my whish upon a star
And hope this night will last for ever

Ain't nobody (Nobody)
Loves me better (Loves Me Better)
Makes me happy this way
Makes me feel this way (Nobody)
Ain't nobody (Nobody Baby)
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better (Than You)

I wish you put your arms around me
Yeah you put your arms around me
I can't resist this sweet surrender
Oh, my night's so warm and tender
We stare into each others eyes
And what we seek is no surprise
I've got a feeling most would treasure
And our love's so deep we cannot measure

When She Makes Music


When She Makes Music
Composer(s): Marvin Fisher; Jack Segal
Performer(s): Jack Jones;
Julie London; George Shearing



All she has to do is say "Hello"
And that's the sweetest melody I know
The sound of angels singing soft and low
When she makes music

Her laughter is an echo in the breeze
That hushes larks and thrushes in the trees
And calms the wave that rushes from the seas
When she makes music

Any time she breathes a sigh
The symphony begins
Every time she says "Goodbye"
A million violins start crying

The song is sad until we meet again
We kiss and then the song is sweet again
But whether she is far away or very near
She makes music only I can hear

Every time she says "Goodbye"
A million violins start crying

The song is sad until we meet again
We kiss and then the song is sweet again
But whether she is far away or very near
She makes music only I can hear

Performer(s): The Four Tops
and multiple other artists



(Ain't no woman like the one I've got)
(Ain't no woman like the one I've got)
(Ain't no woman like the one I've got)

Every day the sun comes up around her
She can make the birds sing harmony
Every drop of rain is glad it found her
Heaven must have made her just for me
When she smiles so warm and tender
A sight for sore eyes to see

Oooh, (ain't no woman like the one I've got)
Oh, no, they don't come better
(To make her happy doesn't take a lot)
She don't ask for things, no diamond rings
(So together, like a hand in glove)
Like pages in a letter
(Ain't no woman like the one I love)

She can fill me up when it's down I'm goin' (I'm goin')
Put a little music in my day
Wouldn't be surprised if my love keeps growin' (it keeps growin')
Bigger every minute that she stays away
I would kiss the ground she walks on
'Cause it's my word, my word she'll obey, now
Woo-ooh. (Ain't no woman like the one I've got)
Well, I kiss the ground she walks on
(To make her happy doesn't take a lot)
She's a real good friend right to the end
(So together like a hand in glove)
A lonely man when she's gone
(People, ain't no woman like the one I love)

Oooh. What a good, good thing I've got
She means to me a lot

(Ain't no woman like the I've got)
No, no, they don't come better
(To make her happy doesn't take a lot)
She don't ask for things, no diamond rings
(So together, like a hand in glove)
Like pages in a letter
(Ain't no woman like the one I love, people)

(Ain't no woman like the one I've got)
Well, I kiss the ground she walks on
(To make her happy doesn't take a lot)
I'm a lonely man when my baby's gone

When She Loved Me


When She Loved Me
Composer(s): Randy Newman
Performer(s): Sarah McLachlan;
and various other artists



When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together
Lives within my heart

And when she was sad
I was there to dry her tears
And when she was happy so was I
When she loved me

Through the summer and the fall
We had each other that was all
Just she and I together
Like it was meant to be
And when she was lonely
I was there to comfort her
And I knew that she loved me

So the years went by
I stayed the same
But she began to drift away
I was left alone
Still I waited for the day
When she'd say
I will always love you

Lonely and forgotten
Never thought she'd look my way
And she smiled at me
And held me
Just like she used to do
Like she loved me
When she loved me

When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together
Lives within my heart

When she loved me

Ain't No Wheels On This Ship
Composer(s): Wayland Chandler - W.S. Stevenson
Performer(s): Patsy Cline



Row Row Row
Row Row Row
I use to have big money
That was many moons ago
You use to call me honey
Now you call me so and so
'Cause there ain't no wheels on this ship
And we can't row row row
We can't row row row
We can't row
Row row row
Row row row
You use to be big papa
The cat of every ball
Now listen little papa
Well I'm at your big downfall
'Cause there ain't no wheels on this ship
And we can't row row row
We can't row row row
We can't row
Row row row
Row row row
You use to like my lovin'
Because you liked my gold
Now ya don't want my lovin'
'Cause there ain't no dough no more
And there ain't no wheels on this ship
And we can't row row row
We can't row row row
We can't row
Row row row
Row row row
Well I tell you for the last time
And I told you this before
If you want to keep your mama
Ya gotta love me more and more
'Cause there ain't no wheels on this ship
And we can't row row row
We can't row row row
We can't row
