Movin' Out
Composer(s): Steven Tyler; Joe Perry
Originally performed by: Aerosmith
Covered by: Fireball Ministry



Ha ha ha ha... yea

We all live on the edge of town
Where we all live ain't a soul around
People start a' comin' all we do is just a' grin
Said we gotta move it out 'cause the city's movin' in
I said we gotta move it out 'cause the city's movin' in

Tell me who you know and i'll tell ya who to
Go see my friend he'll set'cha free
Tell me what'cha need and maybe I can go too
No one knows the way but maybe me
Nobody goes there nobody shows where
Nobody knows where you can find me... yeahhhh... heeay...

Good mornin' glory allelujah to ya
What is the story
And what's been goin' through ya
Livin' like a king off the fat of the land
Workin' like a dog in a rock and roll band

We're movin' we're gettin' out
We're movin' without a doubt
We're movin' we're goin' far
We're movin' oh yes we are
'Cause nobody goes there nobody shows there
Nobody knows where you can find me
Nobody knows there nobody shows there
Nobody knows where you can find me
Noooo... no no no no... it's all comin' down on you... yeah
Now now now oh...

Wooa...

Level with God and you're in tune with the universe
Talk with yourself and you'll hear what'choo wanna know
Gotta rise above 'cause below it's only gettin' worse
Life in time will take you where you wanna go

Yeah... where you wanna go
Where you wanna go
Where you goin'
Where you goin'
Where you goin'
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhhh... oua oua...... c'mon

Good mornin' glory allelujah to ya
What is the story
And what's been goin' through ya
Y'all been like a king off the fat of the land
Rockin' like a dog in a rock and roll band

We're movin' we're gettin' out
We're movin' without a doubt
We're movin' we're goin' far
We're movin' oh... yes we are... 'cause

Nobody knows where nobody shows where
Nobody knows where you can find me
Nobody knows where nobody shows there
Nobody knows where you can find me

Well down and down round and down and better catch your mama
'Cause you know where i'm goin

We all live on the edge of town
Where we all live ain't a soul around
People start a' comin' all we do is just a grin
Said we gotta move it out 'cause the city's movin' in
I said we gotta move it out 'cause the city's movin' in... hey

Give My Love To Nell


Give My Love To Nell
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Chet Atkins;
Les Paul; The Sons of the Pioneers



Three years ago since Jack and Joe
Set sail across the foam
Each vowed a fortune he would gain
Before returning home
In one short year Jack gained his wealth
And started home that day
And when the pals shook hands to part
Poor Joe could only say

Refrain:
Give my love to Nellie, Jack
And kiss her once for me
The sweetest girl in all this world
I'm sure you'll say is she
Treat her kindly Jack, old pal
And tell her I am well
His parting words were don't forget
To give my love to Nell

Three years had passed when Joe at last
Gained wealth enough for life
He started home across the foam
To make sweet Nell his wife
But when he learned that Jack and Nell
One year ago had wed
With sobs and threats he now regrets
That he had ever ever said.

Refrain

They chanced to meet upon the street
Joe said, you selfish "Elf"
The very next girl I learn to love
I'll kiss her for myself
But all is fair in love, they say
As you have gone and wed
I'll not be angry with you pal
So once again he said

Takes Two To Make A Bargain


Takes Two To Make A Bargain
Composer(s): Gordon - Ravel
Performer(s): Bing Crosby



You know that I’ve got certain plans for
A place that you need pots and pans for
Takes two to make a bargain
What’s the answer, baby?

What do girls wear veils for?
And what do men wear suits and tails for?
Takes two to make a bargain
What’s the verdict, baby?

Sign on that dotted line
In as the party of the first part
The party of the second part
You agree to be mine

With Cupid as our pilot
Say, I would like to middle-aisle it
Takes two to make a bargain
Come let’s make vows about it
How’s about it, baby?

What’s the bride and groom for?
I’d like to know
What’s a lovely honeymoon for?

Takes two to see Niagara
Fetch a parson, baby

What’s the night in June for?
What do I sing Love In Bloom for?
Takes two to handle a duet
Give me the verdict, baby

Sign on that dotted line
In as the party of the first part
The party of the second part
You agree to be mine

Oh, I would like a junior
I’d bring him up to be a croonyer
Takes two to make a bargain
Come on, let’s make vows about it
Hows about it?
Just takes two to make a bargain

Movin' On Up


Movin' On Up
Composer(s): Ja'net DuBois
Performer(s): Ja'net DuBois



Well we're Movin' on Up!
Movin' on Up!
To the east side!
Movin' on Up!
To a dee-luxe apartment in the sky
We're movin' on up!
Movin' on Up!
To the east side!

We've finally got a piece of the pie!

Fish don't fry in the kitchen
Beans don't burn on the grill
Took a whole lotta tryin'
Just to get up that hill
Now we're up in the big leagues
Gettin' our turn at bat!
As long as we live
It's you and me, baby!
There ain't nothin' wrong with that!
Hooray
We're Movin' on Up!
Movin' on Up!
To the east side!
Movin' on Up!
To a dee-luxe apartment in the sky!
We're Movin' on Up!
Movin' on Up!
To the east side!
Movin' on Up!
We've finally got a piece of the pie!

Take your time, I can wait
For all of the love I know will be mine
if you take your time

Heartstrings will sing like a string of twine

Take your time, go with me through times
'til all times end

Take your time, I can wait
For all of the love I know will be mine

For all of the love I know will be mine
if you take your time

Time, time, time ...

Movin' On


Movin' On
Composer(s): Merle Haggard
Originally performed by: Merle Haggard



Big wheels rollin', big wheels rollin'
Movin' on

Big wheels rollin', gotta keep 'em goin'
Big wheels rollin'
Movin' On

The white line is the life line to a nation
And men like Will and Sonny make it move
Livin' like a gypsy, always on the go
Doin' what they best know how to do

Jammin' gears has got to be a fever
'Cause men become addicted to the grind
It takes a special breed to be a truck drivin' man
And a steady hand to pull that load behind

Big wheels rollin', big wheels rollin'
Movin' on

Take Your Girlie To The Movies (If You Can't Make Love At Home)


Take Your Girlie To The Movies (If You Can't Make Love At Home)
Composer(s): Bert Kalmar - Edgar Leslie
Performer(s): Dean Martin



Beatrice Fairfax gives advice
To anyone in love
That's why Johnny Gray
Wrote to her one day
'When I call to love my girl
Her folks are always there
That's why I'm blue
What shall I do?"
And Beatrice said, "never despair"

Sweethearts always used to spoon
In a big morris chair
Young folks of today
Have a different way
Far away from cranky dad
And mother's eagle eye
It's lots of fun
Here's how it's done
So come on and give it a try

Take your girlie to the movies
If you can't make love at home
There's not little brother there who always squeals
You can say an awful lot in the seven reels
Take your lessons at the movies
And have love scenes of your own
When the pictures over and it's time to leave
Don't forget to brush the powder off your sleeve
Take your girlie to the movies
If you can't make love at home

Take your girlie to the movies
If you can't make love at home
Pick a cozy corner where it's nice and dark
Don't catch influenza, kissing in the park
Take your lessons at the movies
And have love scenes of your own
Tho she's just a simple little ribbon clerk
Close your eyes and think you're kissing Billie Burke
Take your girlie to the movies
If you can't make love at home

Movin' In
Composer(s): James Pankow
Performer(s): Chicago



We know it's hard for you to see
That this is all we want to be
A constant urge within us grows
We know it
To do the thing that we propose
We know it

We tried so hard to make the grade
Yes we know it
By making music day to day
Yes we know it
Although our task is never done
You know we know it
You ought to know it's just begun
You know we know it

And now it's time for us to say
But most of all we like to play
A song or two that makes you feel
We know it
Like all the good in you is real
We know it

Together now we've lots to hear
Yes we know it
To warm my heart to shed a tear
Yes we know it
So come and listen if you choose
You know we know it
And feel a joy you'll never lose
You know we know it
So everybody listen
Yeah
Everybody please give a listen

Take Your Fingers Off It


Take Your Fingers Off It
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Memphis Jug Band
and multiple other artists



Katie King she had a diamond ring
And it caused her lots of woe
Now who would be the lucky one to get it
Well all the fellahs wanted to know
Red Cap called on her one night
Saw the ring and lost his head
But when he went to view it
He stuck his finger through it
And this is what she loudly said...

Man, take your fingers off it
Now don't you try to touch it
'Cause it don't belong to you
There's no need to crave it
'Cause mama's gonna save it
For the man whose love is true

Boy, try and find something like it
See if you won't fail
Papa you can't buy it 'cause it ain't for sale
Now take your fingers off it
And don't you dare to touch it
'Cause it don't belong to you

I said take your fingers off it
And don't you dare to touch it
'Cause it don't belong to you
Well there's no need to crave it
'Cause Mama's gonna save it
For the man whose love is true

Boy, try and find something like it
See if you won't fail
Papa you can't buy it cause it ain't for sale
You gotta take your fingers off it
And don't you dare to touch it
'Cause it don't belong to you
You hear me tellin' you, man
No, it don't belong to you

Composer(s): Víctor Jara

Los estudiantes chilenos
y latinoamericanos
se tomaron de las manos
mandandirun dirun din
En este hermoso jardin
a momios y dinosaurios
los jovenes revolucionaurios
han dicho basta por fin
Basta!
Que viene el guanaco
y detras los pacos
la bomba delante
la paralizante
tambien la purgante
y la ilarante
hay que son cagantes
estos vigilantes

El joven secundario
y el universitario
el joven proletario
quieren revolucion

En la universidad
se lucha por la reforma
para poner el la horma
al beato y al nacional
Somos los reformistas
los revolucionarios
los anti-imperialistas
de la universidad

Baby Star


Baby Star ((Adapted from: Movie Star (by Harpo) - 1975)) Composer(s): Harpo - Vline Buggy - Claude Carrère Performer(s): Sacha Distel - 1976



Des cils en soie bleutée
Et des lèvres couleur abricot
Tu voudrais à tout prix ressembler
A Marilyn ou à Garbo
Fume-cigarettes et talons hauts
Avec une robe noire rétro
Mais moi, qui te connaît si bien, qui t'aime
Ce n'est pas pour ça que je suis avec toi

Baby star, my baby star
Tu es tellement plus belle
Baby star, ô my baby star
Quand tu es naturelle
Star, ha-ha-hain

Tirée des romans d'Hemingway
Ou sortie d'un film de Fellini
Capricieuse comme une reine de Broadway
Comédienne par instinct, tu pleures, tu ries
Tu séduis, tu t'enfuies dans la nuit
Comme un rêve entrevu au hasard d'une rue
Mais moi, qui te connaît et qui t'aime aussi
Ce n'est pas pour ça que je suis avec toi

Baby star, my baby star
Tu es tellement plus belle
Baby star, ô my baby star
Quand tu es naturelle
Star, ha-ha-hain

Cheveux dans le vent
Dans une robe couleur pois de senteur
C'est ainsi que je t'ai connue
C'est comme ça que je veux te garder

Baby star, my baby star
Tu es tellement plus belle
Baby star, ô my baby star
Quand tu es naturelle
Star, ha-ha-hain

Give Me Your Heart Tonight


Give Me Your Heart Tonight
Composer(s): Billy Livsey
Performer(s): Shakin' Stevens



Oh, tonight
I'm walkin' the streets again
Runnin' away
From all of my tears and friends

Oh, tonight
The stars are in darkend skies
They don't hold all the love
I can see in your lonely eyes

'Cos I'm not waiting for a secret
I don't wanna hear a lie
Don't want the promise of tomorrow
Give me your heart tonight

To young
To young to start settling down
I'm gettin' to old
To wanna keep running around

Oh, your love
Is something I don't wanna miss
End up alone
Livin' on a one night kiss

'Cos I'm not crying without reason
I'm not asking what is right
Just like the changin' of the season
Give me your heart tonight

'Cos I'm not waiting for a secret
I don't wanna hear a lie
Don't want the promise of tomorrow
Give me your heart tonight

I'm not crying without reason
I'm not asking what is right
Just like the changin' of the season
Give me your heart tonight

I'm not crying without reason
I'm not asking what is right
Just like the changin' of the season
Give me your heart tonight

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Give me your heart tonight
Ooh-ooh............

Take Time To Know Her


Take Time To Know Her
Performer(s): Percy Sledge



I found a woman
I felt a true love
She was everything
I'd ever been dreaming of

But she was bad, I didn't know it
Her pretty smile never did show it
All I knew is what I could see
And I knew I wanted her for me

Took her home to mama
Mama, wanna see my future bride
Well she looked at us both
Then she called me to her side

She said, "son, take time to know her
It's not an overnight thing
Take time to know her
Please don't go rushin to do your thing

But I didn't listen to my mama
I went straight to the church
I just couldn't wait for that little girl of mine
When I got off from work
The preacher was there
So was my future bride
He looked at us both and he called me to his side

Take time to know her
Not an overnight fling
Take time to know her
Don't go rushin to do your thing

But it looks like every thing's gonna turn out all right
But then I came home from work a little early one night
And there she was kissin on another man
Now I know what mama meant when she took me by the hand
She said, take time to know her
Not an overnight fling
Take time to know her
Don't go rushin to do your thing
She said, take time to know her
Not an overnight fling
Take time to know her
Don't go rushin to do your thing
Take time to know her ...

Give Me Wings
Composer(s): Rhonda Fleming; Don Schlitz
Performer(s): Michael Johnson;
Highstrung; Don Schlitz



Oh Elaine, you've broken my dreams
It's not as it seemed before
I can see it don't mean to you
What it could mean to me
Been a long time, as the road winds
I'm sideways, in a great haze
I turn, turn ... the page

Oh Elaine, I'm going insane
It's cold and the rain won't do
I'm told I must make this turn
I guess it won't be with you

Chorus

So long, I bid you farewell
I wish you the best, you know
Oh Elaine, if you change your mind
It's me you can find again
Turn, turn ... the page
