Girl Watcher
Girl Watcher
Composer(s): Buck Trail; Wayne Pittman
Performer(s): The O'Kaysions;
and various other artists
Chorus:
I'm a girl watcher, I'm a girl watcher...
Watchin' girls go by, hey, my my
I'm a girl watcher, I'm a girl watcher...
Here comes one now
I was just a boy when I threw away my toys
And found a new pastime to dwell on
Whenever I detects them there of the other sex
I play the game I do so well on
(repeat chorus)
Mumble something tell my my, but you do look swell
Could you please walk a little slower
Wonder if you know that you're putting on a show
Could you please walk a little closer

Performer(s): Fran Warren & Tony Martin
Take a letter, Miss Smith
Yes sir
You’re typin’ better, Miss Smith
You know best, sir
A little closer, my dear
But I can hear you from here
Back to business, Miss Smith
Yes sir
Just write “My dear Mr. Brown”
Got it
Say, what’s his address in town?
I forgot it
Why, that’s a lovely perfume
They call it ‘two in a room’
Er, back to business, Miss Smith
Yes sir
Dear Mr. Brown, in regard to that stock
Gee, Miss Smith, you’re awfully pretty
Dear Mr. Brown, in regard to that stock
Hey boss, you can call me ‘Smitty’
You’re getting thinner, Miss Smith
Yes sir
You need some dinner, Miss Smith
You know best, sir
I’ll pick you up about eight
I promise not to be late
And we’ll leave the rest to fate
Yes sir
Well, good morning, Miss Smith
Hi boss
Why’re you yawning, Miss Smith?
You know why, boss
The clock struck one at your door
You hung around until four
Back to business, Miss Smith
Er, yes sir
Now, just write, er “My dear Mr. Brown”
Right boss
We really covered the town
What a night, boss!
I liked that wonderful show
I liked the very last row
Ahem, er, back to business
Er, yes boss
Now write this: “Dear Mr. Brown, in regard to that stock”
Smitty, your eyes are gleaming
“Dear Mr. Brown, in regard to that stock”
Gee, boss, I was only dreaming
Getting tired, Miss Smith?
Oh, yes sir
Well, you’re fired, Miss Smith
You know best, sir
But I would like to know why
We’re getting married, you and I
Tell me, what is your reply?
Yes sir
Do I need book and pencil, too?
All I’ll ever need is you
You have taken your very last letter, Miss Smith
Yes sir!

Morningside
Morningside
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond;
Marcus Dagan; Dennis Pavao
Morningside, the old man died
And no one cried, they simply turned away
And when he died
He left a table filled with nails and pride
And with his hands he carved these words inside
"For my children"
Morning light, morning bright
I spent the night with dreams that make you weep
Morning time
Wash away the sadness from these eyes of mine
For I recall the words an old man signed
"For my children"
And the legs were shaped with his hands
And the table made with oaken wood
And the children that sat around this table
Touched it with their laughter, and that was good
Morningside, the old man died
And no one cried, he surely died alone
And truth is sad
For not a child would claim the gift he had
The words he carved became his epitaph......
"For my children"

Girl Talk
Girl Talk
French Title: Dansez Sur Moi - 1973
Composer(s): Neal Hefti; Bobby Troup
First release by: Julie London & The Gerald Wilson Big Band - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists
They like to chat about the dresses they will wear tonight
They chew the fat about their tresses and the neighbours' fight
Inconsequential things that men don't really care to know
Become essential things that women find so apropos
But that's a dame
They're all the same
It's just a game
They call it girl talk, girl talk
They all me-ouw about the ups and downs of all their friends
The who, the how, the why, they dish the dirt, it never ends
The weaker sex, the speaker sex, we mortal males behold
But though we joke, we wouldn't trade you for a ton of gold
So baby stay, and gab away
But hear me say
That after girl talk
Talk to me
But that's a dame
They're all the same
It's just a game
They call it girl talk, girl talk
So baby stay, and gab away
But hear me say
That after girl talk
Talk to me

Take A Letter Maria
((French Version: Envoie La Lettre Maria (Eddy Mitchell) - 1969))
Composer(s): R.B. Greaves
First release by: R.B. Greaves - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
Last night as I got home about a half past ten
There was the woman I thought I knew
In the arms of another man
I kept my cool, I ain't no fool
Let me tell you what happened then
I packed some clothes and I walked out
And I ain't going back again
So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life
So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life
You've been many things but most of all a good secretary to me
And it's times like this I feel you've always been close to me
Was I wrong to work nights to try to build a good lif
All work and no play has just cost me a wife
So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life
So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life
When a man loves a woman it's hard to understand
That she would find more pleasure in the arms of another man
I never really noticed how sweet you are to me
It just so happens I'm free tonight
Would you like to have dinner with me
So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life
So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life
So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life

Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1969
Hier
J'ai vu mourir
Un grand amour fait pour durer
L'un de mes meilleurs amis
A détruit son bonheur passé
Il est parti de chez lui
Et s'est rendu à son bureau
Sa secrétaire se leva
Mon ami lui dicta ces mots
Envoie la lettre Maria
Adressée à ma femme
Demain quant elle la lira
Nous serons loin déjà
Envoie la lettre Maria
Adressée à ma femme
Demain quant elle la lira
Nous serons loin déjà
C'est dur
De vivre à deux
Sans jamais connaître l'ennui
L'habitude d'être heureux
A lassé mon meilleur ami
Il veut
Changer de vie
Et connaître d'autres aventures
Quant à sa femme
Il l'oublie
Et provoque ainsi la rupture
Envoie la lettre Maria
Adressée à ma femme
Demain quant elle la lira
Nous serons loin déjà
Envoie la lettre Maria
Adressée à ma femme
Demain quant elle la lira
Nous serons loin déjà
Sa course
Au bonheur
N'est pourtant pas prêt de finir
Il ferme
Son coeur
Et n'en finit plus de mentir
Il est parti de chez lui
Et s'est rendu à son bureau
Sa secrétaire se leva
Mon ami lui dicta ces mots
Envoie la lettre Maria
Adressée à ma femme
Demain quant elle la lira
Nous serons loin déjà
Envoie la lettre Maria
Adressée à ma femme
Demain quant elle la lira
Nous serons loin déjà

Morning Morgantown
Morning Morgantown
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
Performer(s): Joni Mitchell
When morning comes to Morgantown
The merchants roll their awnings down
The milktrucks make their morning rounds
In morning Morgantown
We'll rise up early, with the sun
To ride the bus while everyone is yawning
And the day is young
In morning Morgantown
Morning Morgantown
Buy your dreams a dollar down
Morning any town you name
Morning's just the same
We'll find a table in the shade
And sip our tea and lemonade
And watch the morning on parade
In morning Morgantown
Ladies in their rainbow fashions
Colored stop and go lights flashing
We'll wink at total strangers passing
In morning Morgantown
Morning Morgantown
Buy your dreams a dollar down
Morning any town you name
Morning's just the same
I'd like to buy you everything
A wooden bird with painted wings
A window full of colored rings
In morning Morgantown
But the only thing I have to give
To make you smile, to win you with
Are all the mornings still to live
In morning Morgantown

Girl On A Swing
Girl On A Swing
Composer(s): Robert Miranda
Performer(s): Gerry & The Pacemakers;
The Happenings; Bob Miranda
I stand out of sight
And watch as the light from the sun
Shines through her hair
From yonder she came
I don't know her name
Still I love that girl on a swing
Girl on a swing, swing high
Girl on a swing, swing low
Take all the hate from the world that we're in
Girl on a swing, swing high
Girl on a swing, swing low
And you can cast all your troubles to the wind
She comes with the light
Then goes with the night
My heart just yearns
But then comes the dawn
And she returns
Girl on a swing, swing high
Girl on a swing, swing low
Take all the hate from the world that we're in
Girl on a swing, swing high
Girl on a swing, swing low
And you can cast all your troubles to the wind

Take A Giant Step
((Portuguese Version: Dê Um Passo À Frente (The Sunshines) - 1967))
Composer(s): Gerry Goffin - Carole King
First release by: The Monkees - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists
Though you've played at love and lost
And sorrow's turned your heart to frost
I will melt your heart again
Remember the feeling as a child
When you woke up and morning smiled
It's time you felt like you did then
There's just no percentage in remembering the past
It's time you learned to live again at last
Come with me, leave yesterday behind
And take a giant step outside your mind
You stare at me in disbelief
You say for you there's no relieve
But I swear I'll prove you wrong
Don't stay in your lonely room
Just staring back in silent gloom
That's not where you belong
Come with me I'll take you where the tast of life is green
And everyday holds wonders to be seen
Come with me, leave yesterday behind
And take a giant step outside your mind

Morning Hymn
Morning Hymn
Performer(s): Bruce Cockburn
Wind chimes flicker
Brittle corners slide away
Smile back at the day
Shadows flying
Like the mist before the sun
See the sadness run
Silk-spun web of pearls
Glistens in the grass in summer
North wind changes all the fields
To dazzling glass in winter
Come near to me
Hear this song I sing to you
are you singing, too?

There's only one
Girl of my dreams, it's you!

Life don't seem the same
Please come back again!
And after all's said an' done
There's only one
Girl of my dreams, it's you!

Morning has broken like the first morning
blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning!
Praise for them springing fresh from the Word
Sweet the rain's new fall sunlit from heaven
like the first dewfall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
sprung in completeness where God's feet pass
Mine is the sunlight! Mine is the morning
born of the one light Eden saw play!
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day!

Morning Glory
Morning Glory
Composer(s): Larry Beckett; Tim Buckley
Performer(s): Tim Buckley
Covered by various other artists
I lit my purest candle
close to my window
hoping it would catch the eye
of any vagabond who had passed it by
and I waited in my fleeting house
Before he came
I felt him drawing near
Asked him in
I felt the ancient fear
that he had come to my door and jeered
and I waited in my fleeting house
Tell me stories, I called to the hobo
Stories of Cold, I smiled to the hobo
Stories of old, I knelt to the hobo
and he stood before me
in my fleeting house
No, said the hobo
no more tales of time
don't ask me now to wash away the grime
I can't come in 'cause
it's too hard a climb
and he walked away from my fleeting house
Then you'll be damned
I screamed to the hobo
Leave me alone, I wept to the hobo
Turn into stone, I knelt to the hobo
and he walked away from my fleeting house
I lit my purest candle
Close to my window
hoping it would catch the eye
of any vagabond who passed it by
and I waited in my fleeting house
