Twenty Flight Rock
Twenty Flight Rock
((French Version: 37e Étage (Johnny Hallyday) - 1975))
Composer(s): Eddie Cochran - Ned Fairchild
First release: Eddie Cochran - 1957
Covered by multiple other artists
Ooh, well I got a girl with a record machine
When it comes to rockin' she's the queen
We love to dance on a Saturday night
All alone where I can hold her tight
But she lives on the twentiest floor uptown
The elevator's broken down
So I walked one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight, more
Up on the twelfth I started to drag
Fifteenth floor I'm a-ready to sag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
When she calls me up on the telephone
Say, come on over honey, I'm all alone
I said, baby you're mighty sweet
But I'm in bed with the achin' feet
This went on for a couple of days
But I couldn't stay away
Well they sent to Chicago for repairs
Till it's a-fixed I'm a-usin' the stairs
Hope they hurry up before it's too late
Want my baby too much to wait
All this climbin' is a-gettin' me down
They'll find my corpse draped over a rail
But I climbed one, two flight, three flight four

I Wonder Where My Baby Is Tonight
I Wonder Where My Baby Is Tonight
Composer(s): Walter Donaldson; Gus Kahn
Performer(s): Henry Burr
and multiple other artists
I burned up ev'ry letter
And thought that I'd feel better
I put away her picture too
Sent back each little present
And though it wasn't pleasant
It seemed the wisest thing to do
I've done ev'rything I could and yet
It isn't very easy to forget
I wonder where my baby is tonight
I wonder how my baby is tonight
I wonder where she's gone and how she's getting on
I wonder why my baby doesn't write
If she came back I wonder what I'd do
I wonder did she find somebody new
She didn't treat me fair and though I shouldn't care
I wonder where my baby is tonight
I wonder does my baby do the Charleston, Charleston
I wonder who is teaching her the Charleston, Charleston
While I sit and sigh, the time goes draggin' by
I'd like to kill the guy who wrote the Charleston, Charleston
We parted 'cause I couldn't do the Charleston, Charleston
She'd still be here if I could do the Charleston, Charleston
I'm takin' lessons now,; I'll win her back somehow
I wonder where my baby is tonight

Kleine Man
Kleine Man
Performer(s): Rob de Nijs
De tijd, mijn kleine man
dat je net tot m'n middel kwam
Is niet ver weg
en toch het lijkt of je al tot mijn schouder rijkt
Voor jou begint een leven lang
De tijd, kleine man, dat ik jou praten heb geleerd
Is nu voorbij, het lijkt verkeerd met jou te spreken als een kind
Toch wil ik dat jij leven leert
Op een dag, zal een wereld bestaan
Waar jij gewoon naartoe kunt gaan
En iedereen is vrij
Op een dag, wordt daar lachen geleerd
En oorlog ken je dan niet meer, dat is voorgoed voorbij
Op zo’n dag
En weet je, kleine vriend, je wordt niet ouder en verdient
Het eeuwig leven waar je bent, al wordt je nog zo'n oude vent
Je kunt er altijd blijven wonen
De liefde die je kent, is er voor nu voor en altijd
Die raak je niet zo makkelijk kwijt, al wordt je 120 jaar
Met al je dochters en je zonen
Op een dag, zal er vriendschap bestaan
Die nooit kapot zal kunnen gaan
Zo’n wereld blijft je bij
Op een dag, wordt je’t huilen verleerd
En ruzie ken je dan niet meer
Die wereld die maak jij, op een dag
De vrouw die jou bemint is schoner dan een schilderij
Onder de schaduw van de bomen kun je rustig blijven dromen
Ze is van mij, ze is van mij
Want weet je, kleine vriend
Een man heeft soms heeft soms iets van een boot
Ook als het stormt houdt hij zich groot
En biedt een veilig onderkomen
Tegen de wind en averij
Op een dag, zal je huis ergens staan
Waar wind en regen niet bestaan
Zo’n wereld die maak jij
Op een dag, gaat er niets meer verkeerd
Je hebt het leven goed geleerd
Die wereld is dichtbij, op een dag
De tijd, kleine man, dat jij net tot m'n middel kwam
Is niet ver weg en toch het lijkt of je al tot mijn schouder rijkt
Voor jou begint een leven lang
Daarom, kleine man, wil ik wat praten voor dat blijkt
Dat jij veel op je vader lijkt
Die jou laat dromen van een leugen
Die jou laat dromen van een leugen

Hey hey uh huh huh huh huh oh
Uh huh huh huh huh huh yeah
It's twenty five miles from home
Girl, my feet are hurting mighty bad
Now I've been walking a three day, two lonely nights
You know that I'm mighty mad
But I got a woman waiting for me
That's gonna make this trip worthwhile
You see she's got the kind of lovin' and a kissing
A make a man go stone wild
So I got to keep on walkin'
I got to walk on, oh ho ho
I, I, I, I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride
I got fifteen miles to go now
And I can hear my baby calling my name
It's as if as though I'm standing at her front door
I can hear that doggone plain
Now I'll be so glad to see my baby
And hold her in my arms
Now when I kiss her lips
I turn a back over flip and I'll forget these feet of mine
I got to keep on walkin'
I got to walk on oh ho ho
I, I, I, I, I'm so tired but I just can't lose my stride
Walk on let me tell you ya'll I, I, I, I, I, I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride
Come on feet don't fail me now
I got ten more miles to go
I got nine, eight, seven, six, eight, six
I got a five more miles to go
Now over the hill just around the bend
Huh although my feet are tired I can't lose my stride
I got to get to my baby again

Well, it's a face

And it's a place

You don't know what you do
Your hands are shakin
Your temper's breakin
And ya make a drink to cure your blues
Oh, it's the same old style
The same old story
Follow in her mama's shoes
You try to teach her, but she never thought
to keep her cross walk over you
Well, it's a face
She's a daughter wearing all the bracelets, too
And it's a place
Ooo
Don't let her mama catch you
Won't cha have a taste of the bad side
You never knew good could be so cruel
And all the rest

Don't let her mama catch you
She make the most of any man
You know those boys will take their life in their hands

Twelve-Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming To The Canyon)
Twelve-Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming To The Canyon)
Composer(s): John Phillips
First release: The Mamas and The Papas - 1967
I used to live in New York city
Everything there was dark and dirty
Outside my window was a steeple
with a clock that always said 12:30
Young girls are coming to the canyon
And in the mornings I can see them walking
I can no longer keep my blinds drawn
And I can't keep myself from talking
At first so strange to feel so friendly
To say "Good morning" and really mean it
To feel these changes happening in me
But not to notice till I feel it
Young girls are coming to the canyon
And in the mornings I can see them walking
I can no longer keep my blinds drawn
And I can't keep myself from talking
Cloudy waters cast no reflection
Images of beauty lie there stagnant
Vibrations bounce in no direction
But lie there shattered into fragments
Young girls are coming to the canyon
And in the mornings I can see them walking
I can no longer keep my blinds drawn
And I can't keep myself from talking

I Wonder What The King Is Doing Tonight
I Wonder What The King Is Doing Tonight
From "Camelot"
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
Performer(s): Richard Harris
and multiple other artists
I know what my people are thinking tonight
As home through the shadows they wander
Ev'ryone smiling in secret delight
They stare at the castle and ponder
Whenever the wind blows this way
You can almost hear ev'ryone say
I wonder what the King is doing tonight
What merriment is the king pursuing tonight?
The candles at the Court, they never burn'd as bright
I wonder what the King is up to tonight
How goes the final hour
As he sees the bridal bower
Being legally and regally prepared?
Well, I'll tell you what the King is doing tonight
He's scared! He's scared!
You mean that a king who fought a dragon
Whack'd him in two and fixed his wagon
Goes to be wed in terror and distress?
Yes!
A warrior who's so calm in battle
Even his armor doesn't rattle
Faces a woman petrified with fright?
Right!
You mean that appalling clamoring
That sounds like a blacksmith hammering
Is merely the banging of his royal knees?
Please!
You wonder what the King is wishing tonight . . .
He's wishing he were in Scotland fishing tonight
What occupies his time while waiting for the bride?
He's searching high and low for some place to hide
And oh, the expectation
The sublime anticipation
He must feel about the wedding night to come!
Well, I'll tell you what the King is feeling tonight
He's numb! He shakes!
He quails! He quakes!
And that's what the King is doing tonight

Well, I've just been thinkin' things over
How I have loved you for years
My life just don't seem worth livin'
Since you have left me in tears

My skies have all turned to gray now
And I just walk the soles offa my shoes
Since you've been gone my heart's broken
And I'm just knee-deep in the blues
Well, I've just been thinkin' things over
How I have loved you for years
My life just don't seem worth livin'
Since you have left me in tears
Second Chorus:
You ask me why I've been cryin'
It's 'cause I've lost 'bout all I can lose
Since you've been gone I've quit tryin'
And I'm just knee-deep in the blues

I Wonder What She's Doing Tonight
I Wonder What She's Doing Tonight
Composer(s): Tommy Boyce; Bobby Hart
Performer(s): Boyce & Hart
f I had told her that I loved her
She would have stayed till who knows when
But I guess she couldn't understand it
When I said I want to be your friend
Cause a friend would never doubt you
Or ever put you uptight
And now I wonder what she's doing tonight
Oh yes I wonder
What she's doing tonight
Ooh I wonder what she's doing
Tonight
We were so close we shouldn't get closer
And it's making me feel so sad
But I tell myself I didn't loose her
Cause you can't loose a friend you never had (come on now)
Cause a friend won't say it's over
And go out just for spite
And now I wonder what she's doing tonight
Oh yes I wonder
What she's doing tonight
Ooh I wonder what she's doing
Tonight
(all right Bobby)
Because a friend will always be there
If you're wrong or if you're right
And now I wonder what she's doing tonight
Oh yes I wonder
What she's doing tonight
Ooh I wonder what she's doing
Tonight

Kneel Down
Composer(s): Carlton Haney
Performer(s): Don Reno & Red Smiley;
Ronnie Reno
Kneel down, kneel down at the foot of the Cross
And ask forgiveness that you may not be lost
Jesus will forgive you of your every sin
And you can go to Heaven, my brother
When He comes again
All of you sinners who live a sinful way
And go on a-living in sin every day
Jesus will guide you, if you'll let him in
And you can go to Heaven, my brother
When He comes again
Kneel down, kneel down at the foot of the Cross
And ask forgiveness that you may not be lost
Jesus will forgive you of your every sin
And you can go to Heaven, my brother
When He comes again
All you merry-makers who live the wicked way
And turn your backs on Jesus and His church every day
Jesus is calling, won't you let him in
And you can go to Heaven, my brother
When He comes again

Twee meisjes op het strand
Ze lezen modebladen
Ze kijken in het rond
Ze dromen van een prins
Twee meisjes op het strand
Ze lezen modebladen
Ze kijken in het rond
Ze dromen van een prins
Ze zoeken in hun tas
Ze wijzen naar de foto's
Ze schudden met hun haar
Ze praten met een vriend
Twee meisjes op een plank
Gedragen door de golven
Het branden van de zon
De wijzers houden op
De dag brengt ouderdom
De nacht brengt vreemde uren
Het deken is zo zwaar
Een bladzijde slaat om

I Wonder If I Care As Much
I Wonder If I Care As Much
Composer(s): Don Everly; Phil Everly
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers
and multiple other artists
I wonder if I care as much
As I did before
Last night I cried myself to sleep
For the one that makes me weep
I dried my eyes to greet the day
And wondered why I had to pay
The tears that I have shed by day
Give relief and wash away
The memory of the night before
I wonder if I'll suffer more
I wonder if I care as much
As I did before
My pride is made to say "Forgive"
And take the blame for what you did
It's your mistake I'm thinking of
I wonder if I'm still in love
My heart can't thrive on misery
My life, it has no destiny
When things get more than I can bear
I ask myself
Do I still care?
I wonder if I care as much
As I did before ...
I wonder if I care as much
As I did before

Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett;
Will Jennings; Michael Utley
Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett; Chuck St. Troy
I've got a question for you
Please grant me an interview
Don't want to read it in a magazine
Don't want to see it on the silver screen
Don't let the craziness tear us apart
I'm down on the knees of my heart
Down here on the knees of my heart
This comes from deep in my soul
Your sweet love has taken control
I'll swim across the ocean if you tell me so
I'll take you to the jump up if you want to go
It never is too late to make a brand new start
I'm down here on the knees of my heart
Down here on the knees of my heart
Oh how I will sing if you give me everything
I live for the day when there's nothing in our way
I will be waiting tonight
You'll find my boat by the light
I'm gonna show you what my love can do
Out on the ocean all alone with you
We'll find a desert island on an ancient chart
Take me from the knees of my heart
Take me from the knees of my heart
Take me from the knees of my heart
Take me from the knees of my heart

'Twas Teatime At The Circus
'Twas Teatime At The Circus
Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Gary Brooker - Matthew Fisher - E.Y. Harburg - Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum
'T was tea-time at the circus: King Jimi, he was there
Through hoops he skipped, high wires he tripped
And all the while the glare of the aching, baking spotlight beat down upon his cloak
And though the crowd clapped furiously they could not see the joke
'T was tea-time at the circus, though some might not agree
As jugglers danced, and horses pranced and clowns clowned endlessly
But trunk to tail the elephants quite silent, never spoke
And though the crowd clapped desperately they could not see the joke

I Wonder How The Old Folks Are At Home
I Wonder How The Old Folks Are At Home
Composer(s): A.P. Carter; M. Christian
Performer(s): Osborne Brothers
and multiple other artists
Well I wonder how the old folks are at home
I wonder if they miss me while I roam
I wonder if they pray for the boy who went away
And left his dear old parents all alone
Now you can hear the cattle lowin' in the lane
You cant see the fields of bluegrass where I roam
You can almost hear them cry as they kiss their boy goodbye
I wonder how the old folks are at home
Just a village and a homestead on the farm
And a mother's love to shield you from all harm
A mother's love so dear and a sweetheart brave and true
Just a village and a homestead on the farm
