Mary Me A Little


Mary Me A Little
Composer(s): Stephen Sondheim
Performer(s): Barry Manilow



"Marry me a little
Love me just enough
Cry, but not too often
Play, but not too rough
Keep a tender distance
So we'll both be free
That's the way it ought to be
I'm ready!
Marry me a little
Do it with a will
Make a few demands
I'm able to fulfill
Want me more than others, not
Exclusively
That's the way it ought to be
I'm ready!
I'm ready now!"

Oh, What A Beautiful Morning


Oh, What A Beautiful Morning
Composer(s): Richard Rogers; Oscar Hammerstein
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists



There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow
There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow
The corn is as high as an elephants eye
An’ it looks like it’s climbing clear up in the sky

Oh, What a beautiful mornin’
Oh, What a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin’
Ev’erything’s goin’ my way

All the cattle are standin’ like statues
All the cattle are standin’ like statues
They don’t turn their heads as they see me ride by
But a little brown mav’rick is winkin’ her eye

Oh, What a beautiful mornin’
Oh, What a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin’
Ev’erything’s goin’ my way

All the sounds of the earth are like music
All the sounds of the earth are like music
The breeze is so busy it don’t miss a tree
And an old weepin’ willer is laughin’ at me

Oh, What a beautiful mornin’
Oh, What a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin’
Ev’erything’s goin’ my way

Married Man Blues


Married Man Blues
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



Listen all you rounder’s take a tip from me
Listen all you rounder’s take a tip from me
Don’t you ever marry if you love your liberty

Don’t do it boy

A woman will tell you, you can do just as you please
A woman will tell you, you can do just as you please
But when she gets you she’ll find an ace up her sleeve

Once I had lots of money and I rattled it all the time
I had lots of money and I rattled it all the time
But now all I hear rattlin’ is this ball and chain of mine

When I was a singer I had girls by the score
When I was a singer I had girls by the score
But now I’m married and they don’t love me no more

My Mama says marry my Papa says use your head
Mama told me to marry my Papa says use your head
Because being married is just like being dead

Pa you knew your stuff

Oh, Sweet Temptation


Oh, Sweet Temptation
Composer(s): Wayne Carson
Performer(s): Gary Stewart



Oh, sweet temptation
It's hard to turn away
I look into your begging eyes
And Lord I wanna stay

But I'll hate myself in the morning
And you will hate me too
'Cause after the fire of the night's desire
I'll have to say goodbye to you

Must be the wine
And the way the candle shines
That makes me wanna take you through the night

One of us must be strong
For we both been wrong
And your waiting ban ??? keeps saying: it's not right

Oh, sweet temptation
It's hard to turn away
I look into your begging eyes
And Lord I wanna stay

But I'll hate myself in the morning
And you will hate me too
'Cause after the fire of the night's desire
I'll have to say goodbye to you

I can feel the trembling hands
Until you really need a man
And I could satisfy the need in you
Well, it's not that I'm so smart
I just don't wanna break your heart
Go on home and love the one you're married to

Oh, sweet temptation
It's hard to turn away
I look into your begging eyes
And Lord I wanna stay

But I'll hate myself in the morning
And you will hate me too
'Cause after the fire of the night's desire
I'll have to say goodbye to you

Marrakesh Express


Marrakesh Express
Composer(s): David Crosby; Stephen Stills; Graham Nash
Performer(s): Crosby, Stills & Nash



Looking at the world
Trough the sunset in your eyes
Trying to make the train
To clear Moroccan skies
Bugs and pigs and chickens call
Animal carpet wall to wall
American man is five foot tall and you
Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind
Had to get away to see what we could find
Hope the days that lie ahead
Bring us back to where they've led
Listen up to what's been said to you
Would you know we're riding
on the Marrakesh Express
Would you know we're riding
on the Marrakesh Express
All on board that train
I've been saving all my money just to take you there
I smell the garden in your hair
Take a train to Casablanca going south
Blowing smoke rings from the corners of my m,m,m,m,mouth
Cold coffins hang in the square
Charming corporals in the square
Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
They're taking me to Marrakesh Express
Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
They're taking me to Marrakesh
All on board that train
All on board that train
All on board that train

Oh, Susannah (Dust Off That Old Pianna)


Oh, Susannah (Dust Off That Old Pianna)
Composer(s): Irving Caesar; Sammy Lerner; Gerald Marks
Performer(s): Fats Waller;
and various other artists



A chord in C is beautiful
I heard somebody say it
A chord in G is wonderful
According to the way you play it

Oh, Suzannah, dust of that old piana
My hands are itchin’ for them keys
Our troubles will go wingin’
The moment we start singin’
All our favourite melodies
Let’s get the gang around
That used to hang around
It’s time we had that parlour newly painted
Time for us to get reacquainted
Oh, Suzannah, I’ll let you sing soprano
Dust off that old piana tonight

Marquise


Marquise
Composer(s): Tristan Bernard; Georges Brassens; Pierre Corneille
Performer(s): Georges Brassens



Marquise, si mon visage
A quelques traits un peu vieux
Souvenez-vous qu'à mon âge
Vous ne vaudrez guères mieux
{2x}

Le temps aux plus belles choses
Se plaîst à faire un affront
Et saura faner vos roses
Comme il a ridé mon front
{2x}

Le mesme cours des planètes
Règle nos jours et nos nuits
On m'a vu ce que vous estes
Vous serez ce que je suis
{2x}

Peut-être que je serai vieille
Répond Marquise, cependant
J'ai vingt-six ans, mon vieux Corneille
Et je t'emmerde en attendant
{2x}

Oh, Susannah


Oh, Susannah
Composer(s): Stephen Foster
Performer(s): The Byrds;
and various other artists



I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
I'm going to Louisiana
My true love for to see

It rained all night
The day I left
The weather it was dry
The sun so hot
I froze to death
Susannah, don't you cry

Oh, Susannah
Oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee

I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I thought I saw Susannah
A-coming down the hill

The buckwheat cake
Was in her mouth
The tear was
In her eye
Says I, I'm coming from the south
Susannah, don't you cry

Oh, Susannah
Oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee

Marquee Moon


Marquee Moon
Composer(s): Tom Verlaine
Originally performed by: Television
Covered by various other artists



I remember
how the darkness doubled
I recall
lightning struck itself
I was listening
listening to the rain
I was hearing
hearing something else

Life in the hive puckered up my night
the kiss of death, the embrace of life
There I stand neath the Marquee Moon
Just waiting
Hesitating...
I ain't waiting

I spoke to a man
down at the tracks
I asked him
how he don't go mad
He said "Look here junior, don't you be so happy
And for Heaven's sake, don't you be so sad"

Well a Cadillac
it pulled out of the graveyard
Pulled up to me
all they said get in
Then the Cadillac
it puttered back into the graveyard
And me
I got out again

Oh Sherrie


Oh Sherrie
Composer(s): Bill Cuomo;
Randy Goodrum; Craig Krampf; Steve Perry
Performer(s): Steve Perry;
B'Four; Paul London; Thomas



You should've been gone
Knowing how I made you feel
And I should've been gone
After all your words of steel
Oh, I must've been a dreamer
And I must've been someone else
And we should've been over

Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on

Oh, I want to let go
You'll go on hurtin' me
You'd be better off alone
If I'm not who you thought I'd be

But you know that there's a fever
Oh, that you'll never find nowhere else
Can't you feel it burnin'
On-and-on

Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie

(Instrumental Interlude)

Oh, Sherrie

But I should've been gone
Long ago, far away
And you should've been gone
Now I know you'd lie
You'll stay

Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on

Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on

Hold on
Oh, Sherrie

Oh, Pretty Woman (John Mayall)


Oh, Pretty Woman
Composer(s): A.C. Williams
Performer(s): John Mayall;
and various other artists



Oh pretty woman she's the rising sun
Says all your cheap paint and powder ain't gonna help you none
She's a pretty woman right down to the bone
So you just might as well still leave your skin alone

Pretty woman
What's the matter with you
Can't make you love me, no matter what I do

Oh pretty woman what you trying to do
You kept on foolin' around till I got stuck on you
So you just drop that mess and come down off your throne
Stop using my poor heart as a stepping stone

Pretty woman
What's the matter with you
Can't make you love me, no matter what I do

Oh pretty woman that's all right for you
Now you just go on doing what you want to do
But someday when you thing you've got it made
You get in water deep enough so you can't wade

Pretty woman
What's the matter with you
Can't make you love me, no matter what I do

Oh, People


Oh, People
Composer(s): Andy Goldmark; Bruce Roberts
Performer(s): Patti Labelle



If we are one big happy family
no one would have to beg to eat
If we live in a world of dignity, no man would have to live on the street
If I tell you you're a part of me, there's no need for disbelief
Here is my hand, to let you know that what we dream we all can hold
Apart we are weak ... together we're strong

Chorus:
Oh, people....we are writing this song
We're all living these words together forever
There's no reason we can't live and be one...
Build the world that we want together
For as long as you stand here by me..... we'll live on

Think of all the possibilities that the eyes of a child can see
Think of all the opportunities that float right by you and me
Take my hand, and we will know all that we dream...we, our own
Apart we are weak... together we're strong

Chorus

Market Square Heroes


Market Square Heroes
Composer(s): Derek Dick; Mark Kelly; Steve Rothery;
Peter Trewavas; Michael Pointer; Brian Jellyman; Diz Minnett
Performer(s): Marillion; Fish



I found smog at the end of my rainbow
I found my thoughts shift slowly into phase
Declared the constitution of the walkway
I realise it's time to plan the day, the day

I'm a Market Square Hero gathering the storms to troop
'Cause I'm a Market Square Hero speeding the beat of the streetpulse
Are you following me, are you following me?
Well suffer my pretty warriors and follow me

I got a golden handshake that nearly broke my arm
I left the ranks of shuffling graveyard people
I got rust upon my hands from the padlocked factory gates
Silent chimneys provide the silent steeples

'Cause I'm a Market Square Hero gathering the storms to troop
'Cause I'm a Market Square Hero speeding the beat of the streetpulse, the streetpulse
Are you following me? are you following me?
Well suffer my pretty children and follow me, follow me

Change, change, change!
Change, change, change!

I am your Antichrist show me allegiance
Are you following me
I am your Antichrist pledge to me defiance
Are you following me
Suffer my pretty warriors
Suffer my fallen child
Are you following me
The time has come to conquer and I'll provide your end
Suffer!
We March!

I give peace signs when I wage war in the disco
I'm the warrior in the ultra violet haze
Armed with antisocial insecurity
I plan the path of destiny from this maze

'Cause I'm a Market Square Hero gathering the storms to troop
'Cause I'm a Market Square Hero speeding the beat of the streetpulse, the streetpulse
Are you following me? are you following me?
Well suffer my fallen angels and follow me

I'm the Market Square Hero
I'm the Market Square Hero
We're Market Square Heroes
We're the Market Square Heroes
Are you following me?

I'm the Market Square Hero!

Oh, Oh, I Love Her So
Composer(s): The Ramones
Performer(s): The Ramones;
Ramonetures; Tracy Thornton



I met her at the Burger King
We fell in love by the soda machine
So we took the car downtown
The kids were hanging out all around
Then we went down to Coney Island
On the coaster and around again
And no one's gonna ever tear us apart
Cause she's my sweetheart
All right, oh yeah
Oh, oh I love her so
Hanging out on a night like this
I'm gonna give her a great big kiss
I'm gonna make her mine
And everything's gonna be real fine

Marjorain


Marjorain
Performer(s): Raphael



Marjorain, quiero recordar el ayer
Y lo que paso sin querer
Oh marjorain, quien nos separo
A los dos rompiendo nuestro corazon

Marjorain, todo se perdio
El amor no podra ya volver a empezar
Pero yo buscare sin cesar
Donde estes y a tu lado ire

Marjorain, en tu soledad
Junto al mar esperando esta un cantar
Marjorain, en las olas van
El rumor de amor que lleva mi cancion

Marjorain, todo cambiara
Nacera nuevamente el amor de los dos
Separo la distancia cruel
Sin piedad para nuestro amor

Marjolijne


Marjolijne
Composer(s): Annie M.G. Schmidt; Wim Sonneveld
Performer(s): Wim Sonneveld



Ik weet waaraan je denkt, Marjolijne
Aan die man met dat nobele gezicht
Zijn lei is schoner dan de mijne
Allicht, allicht

Maar denk eens aan al die wichtjes die je bij hem krijgen zou
Al die nobele gezichtjes, niks voor jou, niks voor jou

Doe je wollen sokjes aan, Marjolijne
Kom langs de zoldertrap zo zachtjes als je kan
Waarom denk je dat die maan daar staat te schijnen
Marjolijne, ik word er zo weemoedig van
Hier beneden ligt een perkje te geuren
Het decor voor het begin van een roman
Waarom blijf je nou nog boven zitten zeuren
Marjolijne, Marjolijne, Marjolijne, doe je wollen sokjes aan

Ik weet waaran je denkt, Marjolijne
Aan die schlemiel met dat parelgrijze vest
Zijn banksaldo is hoger dan het mijne
Weet ik best, weet ik best

Maar denk eens aan al die visite die je bij hem krijgen zou
Allemaal vesten in de suite, niks voor jou, niks voor jou

Doe je wollen sokjes aan, Marjolijne
Kom langs de zoldertrap zo zachtjes als je kan
Waarom denk je dat die maan daar staat te schijnen
Marjolijne, ik word er zo weemoedig van
Hier beneden ligt een perkje te geuren
Het decor voor het begin van een roman
Waarom blijf je nou nog boven zitten zeuren
Marjolijne, Marjolijne, Marjolijne, doe je wollen sokjes aan

Ik weet waaraan je denkt, Marjolijne
Aan die vent met dat ravenzwarte haar
Zijn haar is dikker dan het mijne
't Is waar, 't is waar

Maar denk eens aan al die knulletjes die je bij mij krijgen zou
Allemaal donkerblonde krulletjes, die van jou, die van jou

Doe je wollen sokjes aan, Marjolijne
Kom langs de zoldertrap zo zachtjes als je kan
Waarom denk je dat die maan daar staat te schijnen
Marjolijne, ik word er zo weemoedig van
Hier beneden ligt een perkje te geuren
Het decor voor het begin van een roman
Waarom blijf je nou nog boven zitten zeuren
Marjolijne, Marjolijne, Marjolijne, doe je wollen sokjes aan
