Little Turtle
Little Turtle
Composer(s): Joe Bennett
Performer(s): Joe Bennett & The Sparkletones
Beep-beep, little turtle
Beep-beep, little turtle
Beep-beep, little turtle
Slowly, oh so slowly you'll a-comin' crawlin' back to me
Slowly, oh so slowly your love will come to me
Step on it little turtle, you're goin' much too slow
Step on it little turtle, don't you know, don't you know
You need twin carburetors on your motorvatin' wheels
I've been awaitin' on you and I'm waitin' on you still
Little turtle, why do you go so slow
You think you're doin' somethin' just a-sittin' in your shell
Well, you're waistin' time and kisses that could ring my bell
Step on it little turtle, you're goin' much too slow
Step on it little turtle, don't you know, don't you know
You need twin carburetors on your motorvatin' wheels
I've been awaitin' on you and I'm waitin' on you still
Little turtle, why do you go so slow
Beep-beep, little turtle, move out of the road
Beep-beep, little turtle, why don't you move your load
Well, it's gettin' later baby, I've done all my best
The least you could have done was try and test
Little turtle, move out of the road
Beep-beep, little turtle
Beep-beep, little turtle
Beep-beep, little turtle

Got a dream and we just know now
We're gonna make that dream come true
And we'll do it our way
Yes our way
Make all our dreams come true
And we'll do it our way
Yes our way
Make all our dreams come true

The Little Turtle
The Little Turtle
Composer(s): Vachel Lindsay - Albert Hague
Performer(s): Burl Ives
There was a little turtle
He lived in a box
He swam in a puddle
He climbed upon the rocks
He snapped at a mosquito
He snapped at a flea
He snapped at a minnow
And he snapped at me
He caught the mosquito
He caught the flea
He caught the minnow
But he didn't catch me!

Making Memories Of Us
Composer(s): Rodney Crowell
Performer(s): Keith Urban
and various other artists
I'm gonna be here for you baby
I'll be a man of my own word
Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard
I wanna sleep with you forever
And I wanna die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm
And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us
I wanna honor your mother
And I wanna learn from your pa
I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw
I wanna stand out in a crowd for you
A man among men
I wanna make your world better than it's ever been
And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us
We'll follow the rainbow
Wherever the four winds blow
And there'll be a new day
Coming your way
I'm gonna be here for you from now on
This you know somehow
You've been stretched to the limits but it's alright now
And I'm gonna make you a promise
If there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm, wet kiss
And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us
And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll win your trust making memories of us

Little Town In The Ould County Down
Little Town In The Ould County Down
Composer(s): Monte Carlo
Performer(s): Andy Cooney
and multiple other artists
Sure if I had the wings of a swallow I would travel far over the sea
And a rocky old road I would follow to a place that is heaven to me
When the sun goes to rest way down in the west
Then I'll build such a nest in the place I love best
In that dear little town in the old County Down
It will linger way down in my heart
Tho it never was grand it is my fairy land
Just a wonderful world set apart
O my island of dreams you are with me it seems
And I care not for fame or renown
Like the black sheep of old I'll return to the fold
Little town in the old County Down
In the evening when shadows are falling
'Round the old door without any key
There's a voice in my dreams ever calling
There are eyes ever watching for me
There is someone I bless with true tenderness
And her lips I'll caress when I bring happiness
In that dear little town in the old County Down
It will linger way down in my heart
Tho it never was grand it is my fairy land
Just a wonderful world set apart
O my island of dreams you are with me it seems
And I care not for fame or renown
Like the black sheep of old I'll return to the fold
Little town in the old County Down

Making Love Out Of Nothing At All
Making Love Out Of Nothing At All
Composer(s): Jim Steinman
Originally performed by: Air Supply
Covered by various other artists
I know just how to whisper
And I know just how to cry
I know just where to find the answers
And I know just how to lie
I know just how to fake it
And I know just how to scheme
I know just when to face the truth
And then I know just when to dream
And I know just where to touch you
And I know just what to prove
I know when to pull you closer
And I know when to let you loose
And I know the night is fading
And I know the time's gonna fly
And I'm never gonna tell you
Everything I gotta tell you
But I know I gotta give it a try
And I know the roads to riches
And I know the ways to fame
I know all the rules
And I know how to break 'em
And I always know the name of the game
But I don't know how to leave you
And I'll never let you fall
And I don't know how you do it
Making love out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all,
Making love out of nothing at all
Everytime I see you all the rays of the sun
Are streaming through the waves in your hair
And every star in the sky is taking aim at your eyes
Like a spotlight
The beating of my heart is a drum and it's lost
And it's looking for a rhythm like you
You can take the darkness from the pit of the night
And turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright
I've gotta follow it 'cause everything I know
Well it's nothing till I give it to you
I can make the runner stumble
I can make the final block
I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle
I can make all the stadiums rock
I can make tonight forever
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn
I can make every promise that has ever been made
I can make all your demons be gone
But I'm never gonna make it without you
Do you really want to see me crawl
And I'm never gonna make it like you do
Making love out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all

Making Love In The Rain
Making Love In The Rain
Composer(s): James Harris; Terry Lewis
Performer(s): Herb Alpert
Making love in the rain
I can't believe the joy it brings me
Making love all alone
I hear the rain on my window
It's just a little thing
but it means so much to me
Our bodies together
while the rain plays a melody
Every raindrop makes think of you
(Wishing you were close to me)
There is nothing that I'd rather do than...
Making love in the rain
I can't believe the joy it brings me
When we're done - all alone
I hear the rain on my window
When it's stormy outside
It's warm in my heart
with you in my arms
And when your away from me
I wish it would rain
'cause its always the same
Every raindrop makes think of you
(Wishing you were close to me)
There is nothing that I'd rather do than...
Making love in the rain
I can't believe the joy it brings me
(I can't believe)
When I'm here all alone
I hear the rain on my window
(On my window)
Making love in the rain
I can't believe the joy it brings me
Making love all alone
I hear the rain on my window
(On my window, I hear the raindrops fall)
Every raindrop makes think of you
(Wishing you were close to me)
There is nothing that I'd rather do than...
(Nothing that I'd rather do than)
Making love in the rain
I can't believe the joy it brings me
(Making love, oohh making love)
When we're here all alone
I hear the rain on my window
(On my window, I hear it rain)
Making love in the rain
I can't believe the joy it brings me
(ooohhhh, yeah)
All alone I hear the rain
(I hear the rain)
My love here comes the rain
My love here comes the rain
My love here comes the rain
My love here comes the rain

Si Tu Penses
Si Tu Penses
((Adapted from: Little Town Flirt (by Del Shannon) - 1962))
Composer(s): Marion McKenzie - Del Shannon - Eddy Mitchell
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1963
Si tu penses (si tu penses) encore à moi (si tu penses)
Si tu te lances dans la vie sans moi
Réfléchis sur l'avenir, revis avec tes souvenirs
Si tu penses, hey, oh, oh, hey you... à moi
Si tu y penses, ne m'oublie pas
Je sais bien (je sais bien) que notre amour (je sais bien)
N'était rien, mais peut-être qu'un jour
Tu regretteras ce temps, souviens-toi, tu m'aimais tant
Si tu penses, hey, oh, oh, hey you... à moi
Si tu y penses, ne m'oublie pas
Si tu penses du mal de moi, si mes avances n'aboutissent pas
Tu ne me feras pas de peine, je peux bien vivre sans toi
Même si tu penses à moi (à moi, moi, moi)
Quand je pense (si tu penses) encore à toi (si tu penses)
Il me semble que tu reviendras
Ne crois surtout pas que je tente de te ramener vers moi
Si tu penses, hey, oh, oh, hey you... à moi
Si tu y penses, ne m'oublie pas, oh, oh, oh (si tu penses)

Making Love In The Afternoon
Making Love In The Afternoon
Performer(s): Karen Carpenter
Makin' love in the afternoon
Makin' love to another Beatle tune
And I know you're feelin' the same way too
All alone on a sunny day
On our own and we had to get away
And I know that I couldn't live without you
Don't ever leave me alone
Baby without you, I'd never make it alone
Makin' love on a sunny day
Makin' love in a very special way
And I hope you're feelin' the way I do
When you're here, when you're next to me
When you're near its the only place to be
'Cause I know that I couldn't live without you
Dont ever leave me alone
Livin'without you, I couldn't make it alone
Why wait for tomorrow?
Tomorrow may never come
Why wait for the evening shadows?
Something behind me, will always remind me
To wait for the morning
Knowing you'll be here soon
And then we can be together
In the afternoon
Makin' love (Makin'love)
Makin' love in the afternoon

Composer(s): Edith Lindeman - Carl Stutz
First release by: Kitty Kallen - 1954
Covered by multiple other artists
Blow me a kiss across the room
Say I look nice when I'm not
Touch my hair as you pass my chair
Little things mean a lot
Give me your arm as we cross the street
Call me at six on the dot
A line a day when you're far away
Little things mean a lot
Don't have to buy me diamonds or pearls
Champagne, sables or such
I never cared much for diamonds and pearls
'Cause honestly, honey, they just cost money
Give me your hand when I've lost my way
Give me your shoulder to cry on
Whether the day is bright or gray
Give me your heart to rely on
Send me the warmth of a secret smile
To show me you haven't forgot
For always and ever, now and forever
Little things mean a lot
Give me your hand when I've lost my way
Give me your shoulder to cry on
Whether the day is bright or gray
Give me your heart to rely on
Send me the warmth of a secret smile
To show me you haven't forgot
For always and ever, now and forever
Little things mean a lot

Making Love
Making Love
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach;
Bruce Roberts; Carole Bayer Sager
Originally performed by: Roberta Flack
Here close to our feelings we touch again
We love again
Remember when we thought
Our hearts would never mend
And we're all the better for each other
There's more to love I know
Than making love
Here no more confusion we see our lives
We live our lives
Remember when we thought
We never would survive
But now neither one of us is breaking
There's more to love I know
Than making love
Some things never change
Some things sometimes do
And now I'm feeling strong enough to let you in
And now neither one of us is breaking
Now we know there's more to love
Than making love
And I'll remember you and making love
And I'll remember you

Little Things (That Keep Us Together)
Little Things (That Keep Us Together)
Composer(s): Ady Semel - Scott Walker
First release by: Scott Walker - 1970
It's on days like these
When your brother falls
You can read it all in the Times
How a moving car
Stole a movie star
Little Things that keep us together
While the war's going on
It's on days like these
When your childhood cries
And you see it all on the news
Little children starve
Growing tired of born
Little things that keep us all close and warm
While the war's going on
Find a place you can hide
And take what you can
The time will arrive
When you need a friend
Stop looking at us
We're waving good-bye
There's a man
Shouting he's with me
When that morning comes
I can't wait to see
Just how high his eagle
On color screens
Is gonna fly
Going to fly
It's on nights like these
That your neighbor dies
'Cos he put a gun to his head
He was so alone
He had nothing left
Little things that call for a drink
That bury a soldier's death
It's on days like these
When your sister cries
And your brother falls from your hands
Jumbo jets can die
Killing 81
Little things that help us get by the why
Why the war's going on
Why the war's going on
Why the war is going on
why the war is going on
why the war's going on
why the war's going on

Making Every Minute Count
Making Every Minute Count
Composer(s): John Morier
Performer(s): Spanky & Our Gang; Keith
While you're hung up on yesterday
You got nothing going today
While you're hung up on tomorrow
All the good times are slipping away
Life is right now and if you take it
The share will be the biggest amount
There's only one way to make it
That's making every minute count
Making every minute count
Making it groovy
Making love, making it now
If you know a better way of goin'
You know you'd better show me how
With your nose pressed to the window
Life is just a mirror of your mind
You can find much more to get into
Make up your mind, baby, now is the time
Time to live life like a lover
Time to keep time from keepin' you down
Time to get it all together
Making every minute count
Making every minute count
Making it groovy
Making love, making it now
If you know a better way of goin'
You know you'd better show me how
Making every minute count
Time to live life like a lover
Time to keep time from keepin' you down
Time to get it all together
Making every minute count
Making every minute count
Making it groovy
Making love, making it now
Making every minute count
Making it groovy

Little things that you do
Make me glad I'm in love with you
Little things that you say
Make me glad that I feel this way
The way you smile, the way you hold my hand
And when I'm down you always understand
You know I love those little things that I knew
The little things you whispered in my ear
I know there ain't nobody else like you
No one could do the little things you do
Little things in my ear that you say
When there's no one near
Little things that you do
Let me know that your love is true
When we walk you like to hold my hand
And when we talk you tell me I'm your man
You know I love those little things that I knew
The little things you whispered in my ear
I know there ain't nobody else like you
No one could do the little things you do
Little things that you do
Make me glad I'm in love with you

Make me glad that I feel this way
When we walk you like to hold my hand

Making believe that you still love me
It's leaving me alone and so blue
I'll always dream, still I'll never own you

Your somebody's love, you'll never be mine
Making believe, I'll spend my lifetime
Loving you, making believe
Making believe I never lost you
But my happy hours I find are so few
My plans for the future will never come true, dear
I'm making believe what else can I do

Little Sparrow
Little Sparrow
Composer(s): Dolly Parton
First release by: Dolly Parton - 2001
Covered by multiple other artists
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Precious, fragile, little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Flies so high and feels no pain
All ye maidens heed my warning
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you like a sparrow
Leaving you to never mend
They will vow to always love you
Swear no love but yours will do
Then they'll leave you for another
Break your little heart in two
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Precious, fragile, little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Flies so high and feels no pain
If I were a little sparrow
O'er these mountains I would fly
I would find him, I would find him
Look into his lying eyes
I would flutter all around him
On my little sparrow wings
I would ask him, I would ask him
Why he let me love in vain
I am not a little sparrow
I am just the broken dream
Of a cold false-hearted lover
And his evil cunning scheme
All ye maidens fair and tender
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you like a sparrow
Leaving you to never mend
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Oh, the sorrow never ends

Making A Noise
Making A Noise
Composer(s): Robbie Robertson
Performer(s): Robbie Robertson
Contact From The Underworld Of Red Boy
Everyone has a song
God gave us each a song
That's how we know who we are
Everyone has a song
We have come, heat the drum
The land trembles with dancing
We have come, bang the drum
The land trembles with dancing
Making a noise in this world
Making a noise in this world
You can bet your ass
I won't go quietly
Makin' a noise in this world
I don't want your promise
I don't want your whiskey
I don't want your blood on my hands
Only want what belongs to me
I think you thought I was gone
I think you thought I was dead
You won't admit that you was wrong
Ain't there some shit that should be said
Making a noise in this world
Making a noise in this world
You can bet your ass
I won't go quietly
Makin' a noise in this world
The Indian dancers stop and stare at him
Like he was bad weather
He keeps dancing
And knocks loose an eagle feather
The drums stop
This is the kind of silence that frightens white men
Making a noise in this world
Making a noise in this world
You can bet your ass
I won't go quietly
Makin' a noise in this world
(No Indians allowed)
