Little Joe, The Wrangler
Little Joe, The Wrangler
Composer(s): Nathan Howard - Jack Thorp
Performer(s): Chris LeDoux
and multiple other artists
Little Joe the wrangler, he'll wrangle never more
His days with the remuda, they're all done
It was long about last April he rode into our camp
Just a little Texas stray and all alone
It was long late in the evening when he rode into our camp
On a little old brown pony he called Shaw
In his brogan shoes and coveralls, a harder lookin' kid
You never in you life have seen before
His saddle was a Sother kack built many years ago
An OK spur on one foot idly hung
With his bed roll in a cotton sack was loosely tied behind
And a canteen from the saddle horn he'd slung
Said he had to leave his home because his paw had married twice
His new maw beat him every day or two
So he saddled up old Shaw one night and lit a shuck this way
Thought he'd try and paddle now his own canoe
Said he'd try to do the best he could if we'd only give him work
Though he didn't know straight up about a cow
So the boss, he cut him out a mount and kinda put him on
And we knew he liked our little stray somehow
Well, he taught him how to heard the horses and learned to know 'em all
And to get 'em in by daylight if he could
And to follow the chuck wagon and to always hitch the team
And to help the carsonaro rustle wood
We had driven to Red River and the weather it was fine
We were camped down on the south side of the bend
When a Norther started blowin' we called the extra guard
'Cause it took all hands to hold the cattle in
Now little Joe the wrangler was called out like the rest
Barely had the kid got to the heard
When the cattle, they stampeded - like a hailstorm on they flew
With all of us a ridin' for the lead
Between the streaks of lightnin' we could see a horse ahead
It was little Joe the wrangler in the lead
He was riding old Blue Rocket with a slicker o'er his head
And he's trying to check the leaders in their speed
We finally got'em millin' and they sort of quieted down
The extra guard back to the camp did go
But one of them was missing and we all knew at a glance
'Twas our little Texas strayboy, wrangler Joe
We found him there at sun up where old Blue Rocket fell
In some washout twenty feet below
Beneath his horse smashed to a pulphis spur had rung the knell
For our little Texas stray bos, wrangler Joe
Little Joe the wrangler, he'll wrangle never more
His days with the remuda, they're all done
It was long about last April he rode into our camp
Just a little Texas stray and all alone

Make Me Know It (If You Mean What You Say)
Make Me Know It (If You Mean What You Say)
Composer(s): Williams; Temple
Performer(s): Blanche Calloway
Make me know it, baby, I crave some action
Make me know it, baby, prove what you say
I want no fooling, and I don't mean maybe
I've had my fooling; I wasn't born today
Make me know it, baby, if you mean business
Make me know it, baby, and don't delay
I like your style, your smile, your pretty hair
But this don't get me anywhere
Make me know it if you mean just what you say
You claim that you love me true
And there's nothing you won't do
Now, sweet child, if you're sincere
Listen while I cuddle near
I've heard the sweet wind blow before
Had the wolf at my door
My brain isn't made of wood
I guess it's understood
Oh, baby, I crave some action
Oh, baby, prove what you say
I want no fooling, and I don't mean maybe
I've had my fooling; I wasn't born today
Baby, if you mean business
Baby, now don't delay
I like your style, your smile, your pretty hair
But this don't get me anywhere
Make me know it if you mean just what you say

Little Jeannie
Composer(s): Elton John - Gary Anthony Osborne
First release by: Elton John - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists
Oh little Jeannie, you got so much love, little Jeannie
And you take it where it strikes and give it to the likes of me
Oh little Jeannie, she got so much love, little Jeannie
So I see you when I can, you make me all a man can be
And I want you to be my acrobat, I want you to be my lover
Oh there were others who would treat you cruel
And oh little Jeannie, you were always someone's fool
Little Jeannie, you got so much time, little Jeannie
Though you've grown beyond your years, you still retain the fears of
youth
Oh little Jeannie, you got so much time, little Jeannie
But you're burning it up so fast, searching for some lasting truth
And I want you to be my acrobat, I want you to be my lover
Oh there were others who would treat you cruel
But oh Jeannie, I will always be your fool
And I want you to be my acrobat, I want you to be my lover
Oh there were others, and I've known quite a few
But oh oh Jeannie, I'm still in love with you
Stepped into my life from a bad dream
Making the life that I had seem suddenly shiny and new
Oh Jeannie I'm so in love with you
Stepped into my life from a bad dream

Little Inconvenient
Little Inconvenient
Performer(s): Stella Parton
I remember ridin' bikes with you in the park
Quiet conversations alone in the dark
Now that you're gone and you're never coming home
It sure gets lonely but I'd rather be alone
Without you it's just a little inconvenient after all these years
A little inconvenient to smile through all these tears
A little hard to handle when the kids ask where you are
But I'll get along it's just a little inconvenient
What I'd give to love you once again
Look across the breakfast table see you smiling there
But things have really changed since you've left this place
I can't really say that time has helped or erased your memory
It's juts a little inconvenient ...

Take me in your arms and never let me go
Whisper to me softly while the moon is low
Hold me close and tell me what I wanna know
Say it to me gently, let the sweet talk flow
Come a little closer, make love to me
Kiss me once again before we say good night
Take me in your lovin' arms and squeeze me tight
Put me in a mood so I can dream all night
Everybody's sleepin' so it's quite all right
Come a little closer, make love to me
When you're near, so help me, dear
Chills run up my spine
Don't you know I love you so?
I won't be happy till you're mine
When I'm in your arms you give my heart a treat
Everything about you is so doggone sweet
Ev'ry time we kiss you make my life complete
Baby doll, ya know ya swept me off my feet
Now's the time to tell you "Make love to me"
When I'm in your arms you give my heart a treat
Everything about you is so doggone sweet
Ev'ry time we kiss you make my life complete
Baby doll, ya know ya swept me off my feet
Now's the time to tell you "Hey, Baby make love to me"

Covered by multiple other artists
Go!
I'm gonna wake you up early cause I'm gonna take a ride with you
We're going down to the Honda shop, I'll tell you what we're gonna do
Put on a ragged sweatshirt, I'll take you anywhere you want me to
First gear, it's all right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)
Second gear, I'll lean right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)
Third gear, hang on tight (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)
Faster, it's all right
It's not a big motorcycle
Just a groovy little motorbike
It's more fun than a barrel of monkeys
That two-wheeled bike
We'll ride on out of the town
To any place I know you like
First gear, it's all right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)
Second gear, I'll lean right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)
Third gear, hang on tight (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)
Faster, it's all right
It climbs the hills like a Matchless
'Cause my Honda' built really light
When I go in to the turns
Better hang on tight
I'd better turn on the lights
So we can ride my Honda tonight
First gear, it's all right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)
Second gear, I'll lean right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)
Third gear, hang on tight (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)
Faster, it's all right

Make Love Stay
Make Love Stay
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Now that we love
Now that the lonely nights are over
How do we make love stay?
Now that we know
The fire can burn bright or merely smolder
How do we keep it from dying away?
Elusive as dreams
Barely remembered in the morning
Love like a phantom flies
But held in the heart
It pales like the empty smile adorning
A statue with sightless eyes
Moments fleet, taste sweet within the rapture
When precious flesh is greedily consumed
But mystery's a thing not easily captured
And once deceased not easily exhumed
Now that we love
Now that the lonely nights are over
How do we make love stay?
Moments fleet, taste so sweet within the rapture
When precious flesh is greedily consumed
But mystery's a thing not easily captured
And once deceased not easily exhumed
Now that we loved
Look at the moonless night and tell me
How do we make love stay?

Originally performed by: Bread
Covered by various other artists
Hey have you ever tried
Really reaching out for the other side?
I may be climbing on rainbows
But, baby here goes
Dreams they're for those who sleep
Life is for us to keep
And if you're wond'ring
What this song is leading to
I want to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl
No, you don't know me well
In ev'ry little thing only time will tell
If you believe the things that I do
And we'll see it through
Life can be short or long
Love can be right or wrong
And if I choose the one
I'd like to help me through
I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl
Baby you know that
Dreams they're for those who sleep
Life is for us to keep

Senorita I'm in trouble again and I can't get free
(Senorita) You're exactly what the doctor ordered, come on talk to me
(Ah) Can't crow before I'm out of the woods
But there's exceptions to the rule
(Ah) Senorita, do you need a friend? I'm in love with you
Catch as catch, catch as catch can
Anybody in their right mind could see, it's you and me
Oooh-ooo-ooh
Oooh-oooh
You say you're lonesome, just getting by
But you turn your eyes from me
Be sure you're hurting long before you fly 'cause, you've got me
Catch as catch, catch as catch can
Anybody in their right mind could see, you and me
Catch as catch, catch as catch can
When I see you, all your little guitars sing to me
I can see you don't know which way to turn
But the sun still shines
(Senorita) Don't you know that you can dance with me, anytime?
(Ah) Can't crow before I'm out of the woods

Composer(s): Rick Kelly; Linda Mallah;
Don Powell; Verdick
Performer(s): The Jets
Tonight it's been a year
We met each other here
Here I am all alone
As thoughts of you go on
Hear me cryin' out to you
You said, "Never, never would I leave"
Here's a tear from me to you
And maybe it will make you hear me
I loved you
You didn't feel the same
Though we're apart
You're in my heart
Give me one more chance to
Make it real
In a dream you are here
You smile and hold me near
And in my heart I'll pretend
That you are here again
Hear me cryin' out to you
You said, "Never, never would I leave"
Here's a tear from me to you
And maybe it will make you hear me
I loved you
You didn't feel the same
Though we're apart
You're in my heart
Give me one more chance to
Make it real
I loved you
You didn't feel the same
Though we're apart
You're in my heart
Give me one more chance to
Make it real
Give me one more chance to
Make it real

Little Green Men
Little Green Men
Composer(s): Steve Vai
Performer(s): Steve Vai
We know ya come a long way
We hope that your ship is o.k.
We hope you're gonna stick around
Maybe to save the day
Liw liw, liw liw
Liw liw, liw
You look - a real keen
Even though you are green
With those big, large heads
Something off of the movie screen
Liw liw, liw liw
Liw liw, liw
Little green men, they look so funny
Funny green men
I want one to have and to hold and to
Silly green men
Where do they come from?
Should we run away, should we start to pray
Or is it a movie that they're filming?
Are the people on your planet
Usually in a frantic panic like they are here
Most of the time?
(bla...Im freakin out...)
Wait a minute, you, is it true about
Einstein's theory and Darwin's too?
What about war, the soul, the mind
Love, death, god, divine?
Little, little, little, little, little, little, little
Ladies & gentlemen of the world, it is my utmost privilege to announce to
you that these little green men actually do exist, for they are part of the
eternal past and venture from all regions of our galaxy to find homage in our earth's center
Governments of the world have been very good at concealing these little visitors
and preparing the public with loving movies and pleasant melodies (ya see, like that one - did ya hear that - yes)
Controlled media as to cushion the arrival of our little friends
You see, throughout history many people have claimed to see strange lights in the sky
(oh no)
Well, the truth of the matter is that these light, and beings, will
only reveal themselves to those who are pure of heart, for these enlightened
aliens leave permanent imprinted information on the psyche of those chosen
humans, only to be revealed to our deteriorating planet at the point in which
our civilization shall enter the new age of light without heat
Little green men about four foot one
Maybe they want to have some fun
Little green men about 4 foot two
Maybe he wants to mate with you
(ooh, ah, eee, etc...)(simulated alien sex sequence)
Little green men about four foot three
Maybe they wanna be set free
We're hoping that the human race will become part of endless time
We love you all and want you to know that in your heart and in your soul there is power bigger than the world
Little green men about four foot
Maybe they wanna kick some butt
Mo fo
Uuuu, aaaa, eeee, grrr...
Little green men, they look so funny
Funny green men
I want one to have and to hold and to
Silly green men
Where do they come from?
Should we run away, should we start to pray
Or is it a movie that they're filming?
Little green men, they look so funny

Make It Rain
Make It Rain
Composer(s): Billy Mize
Performer(s): Dean Martin
The wealthy ones like you look down
On the common folk like me
Makin' bets to what degree of fool we are
Through your rose-coloured windows
You see yourself above us
Standin' in the mud and gazin' at the stars
But the rich and poor have in common
The common cold, the heartburn and the heartache
Put our pants on just the same
Your worth don't make you better, babe
'Cause I can tread water, babe
As long as you think you make it rain
While you got your raisin', girl
And your diamond-studded world
I got pulled up on the hungry side o' town
I cut my teeth on bacon rind
There ain't no hide as tough as mine
But it might be fun awhile to be your clown
So, get your whip and do your thing
And I'll run around the ring
Ride my white horse, wear my armour too
Aah, but I don't easy blister, babe
I'll be your Court Jester, babe
Don't think you won't pay the fiddler too
I put your hand in mine
It was a shockin' time to find
The water hot, the current strong and deep and wet
You had me strugglin' for a time
A-draggin' on your line
But never fear, this fish will never swim
While you're playin' with my mind
I'll be payin' with your money, honey
As long as your account can stand the drain
I'll fan the flame and make it hotter
'Cause I think I can walk on water
As long as you can make it rain
Aww, I'll hang around awhile
Study your style
Come out a whole lot wiser man indeed
'Cause the last time anyone as grand
As you appeared and looked around
Found the grandest star up in the East
Hey, but I don't see no halo
Just a little girl with a lot of gold
Wantin' one more trinket for her golden scene
Aah, but you got a hot one hangin', kid
Don't let him say you never did your best
Be my guest, make it rain
Aah, make it rain
Babe, make it rain
Make it rain
Oh, make it rain

Little Green Apples
Composer(s): Bobby Russell
First release by: Roger Miller - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
And I wake up in the mornin'
With my hair down in my eyes and she says "Hi"
And I stumble to the breakfast table
While the kids are goin' off to school…goodbye
And she reaches out 'n' takes my hand
And squeezes it 'n' says "How ya feelin', hon?"
And I look across at smilin' lips
That warm my heart and see my mornin' sun
And if that's not lovin' me
Then all I've got to say
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
And there's no such thing as Doctor Seuss
Or Disneyland, and Mother Goose, no nursery rhyme
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
And when my self is feelin' low
I think about her face aglow and ease my mind
Sometimes I call her up at home knowin' she's busy
And ask her if she could get away and meet me
And maybe we could grab a bite to eat
And she drops what she's doin' and she hurries down to meet me
And I'm always late
But she sits waitin' patiently and smiles when she first sees me
'cause she's made that way
And if that ain't lovin' me
Then all I've got to say
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes
And there's no such thing as make-believe
Puppy dogs, autumn leaves 'n' BB guns
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis

Make It Easy On Yourself
Make It Easy On Yourself
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David
Originally performed by: Jerry Butler
Covered by various other artists
Oh, breaking up is so very hard to do
If you really love him
And there's nothing I can do
Don't try to spare my feelings
Just tell me that we're through
And make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself
'Cause breaking up is so very hard to do
And if the way I hold him
Can't compare to his caress
No words of consolation
Will make me miss him less
My darling, if this is goodbye
I just know I'm gonna cry
So run to him
Before you start crying too
And make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself
'Cause breaking up is so very hard to do
Oh, baby, it's so hard to do
And make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself
'Cause breaking up is so very hard to do
