Grow, Mrs. Goldfarb
Grow, Mrs. Goldfarb
Performer(s): Allan Sherman
Grow, Mrs. Goldfarb, fatter, fatter
Pile more potatoes on your platter
Listen to me, 'cause I'm your hubby
I just adore you plump and chubby
I got a letter from the state, Dear
You're gonna need a license plate, Dear
My little elephant joke come true
Chew, Mrs. Goldfarb, chew!
There is so much more of you
More to adore you
'Cause you're not slender
In your white dress you're a doll
Big as the Taj Mahal
In all its splendor
When you're in gepartment stores
Don't use the revolving doors
You might get stuck, Dear
When you use the telephone
Go in the booth alone
And lots of luck, Dear
You had for breakfast: two pounds bacon
Three dozen eggs, one coffee cake and
Then you had something really awful
Four kippered herrings on a waffle
Nine English muffins, one baked apple
Boston cream pie, Philadelphia scrapple
Seventeen bowls of Crispy Crunch
Then you said, "What's for lunch?"
Sweetheart, you are giant size
You are Lane Bryant size
My darling Myrtle
Last Thanksgiving I was thrilled
You ate so much, you killed
Your living girdle
Have another dozen shrimp
My lovely little blimp
Don't count a calorie
I just received a stub
I owe the Diner's Club
A whole years salary
Eat, Mrs. Goldfarb, daily, nightly
Eat, though your chair is bending slightly
Love of my life, I'm glad I found you
Each day I take a walk around you
I can't forget when we got married
Over the threshold I got carried
No other bride would be so sweet
Eat, Mrs. Goldfarb, Eat!

That Girl
That Girl
Composer(s): Glenn Frey - Bob Seger
Performer(s): Glenn Frey
Raindrops fallin' on these hills tonight
I've been drivin' since the mornin' light
It won't be long before those headlights shine
And I'll be missin' that girl of mine
Yesterday, I was safe and warm
Yesterday, I held her in my arms
Now the raindrops fallin'
And I feel like callin'
That Girl
Well there ain't no explainin' what she does for me
It might be somethin' only I can see
Understanding in a quiet way
Undemanding and I got to say
I'm in love, and I know it's for sure
I'm in love, I can't stop thinking of her
Now the raindrops fallin'
And I feel like callin'
That girl
Well I've been callin' that girl for such a long long time
I can't get through, I'm 'bout to lose my mind
I got so much to tell her, I got so much to say
Ooh, I'm gonna love her till my dyin' day
Oh, I'm in love, and I know it's for sure
I'm in love, I can't stop thinking of her
now the raindrops fallin'
I feel like callin'
Raindrops fallin'
I feel like callin'
Raindrops fallin'
And I feel like callin'
That girl
That girl

My Wasted Past
My Wasted Past
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb; Roy Duke
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
Today I’ve been thinking of My Wasted Past
And all the heartaches that I’ve been through
It seems to me this world has turned me down
And there’s nothing left for me to do
In the future you no I have no planes
Since you ran away with another man
I feel as though this is the last
As I’m thinking of My Wasted Past
Ah Billy Byrd now
The clouds take the sunshine and bring the rain
Like you took my love and brought me pain
Now I’m all alone with memories of the past
And I’ll never see my love again
In the future you no I have no plan
Since you ran away with another man
I feel as though this is the last
As I’m thinking of My Wasted Past

Grow old along with me
The best is yet to be
When our time has come
We will be as one

God Bless our love

Spending our lives together
Man and wife together
World without end
World without end
Grow old along with me
Whatever fate decrees
We will see it through
For our love is true

That Feeling Is Gone
That Feeling Is Gone
Composer(s): Walter Hirsh - Chester Wallace
Performer(s): Benny Goodman & His Orch.
That feeling is gone, I must go on without you
That feeling is gone, the thrill I used to know
You tell me you're sorry, that it wasn't meant to be
It's easy to be sorry, but how about me ?
That feeling is gone, still I could never doubt you
For old times' sake, I'll gladly take the blame
Although I can't forget you, I wonder why I ever met you
That feeling is gone, never to be the same

My Walking Stick
My Walking Stick
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Leon Redbone
and various other artists
Without my walking stick, I'd go insane
I can't look my best I feel undressed without my cane
Must have my walking stick 'cause it may rain
When it pours can't be outdoors without my cane
If I ever left my house without my walking stick
Well it would be something I could never explain
Oh the thing that makes me click, on lovers lane
Would go for naught if I were caught without my cane
Be-bop-bop-de-la-dum
Be-bop-a-da-bum
Re-bop-be-a
Rop-a-de-bop
Rump-a-de-dum
Ra-da-da-de
Re-bop-bop-la-da-dum
Re-bop-be-de-a
Rop-a-de-bum
Rop-a-de-bum
Deet-de-de-a
Ra-da-da-dum
If I ever left my house without my walking stick
Well it would be something I could never explain
Oh the thing that makes me click on lovers lane
Would go for naught if I were caught without my cane

Now I'm a walkin' groundhog
mama and I walks around in my den
Now I'm a walkin' groundhog

Now if I come out and see my shadow my woman don't love me
yeah an' I believe I'll go back in

Chicken Feed
Chicken Feed
Performer(s): Bobbi Staff
It's not because the money you have is only chicken feed
It's because I know I'm not the only chicken you feed
I don't care if a boy has barely enough to feed me
I just wanta know that I'm the only chicken he feeds feed
I heard about you last night, out in the bright lights with old Suzie Brown
You took her to the movie show, you took her to the bowling bowl, you took her ev'ry place in town
Guess ya think it's funny out spendin' all your money, leavin' me home alone
Well from now on I'm gonna be anywhere else but home
It's not because the money you have is only chicken feed
It's because I know I'm not the only chicken you feed
I don't care if a boy has barely enough to feed me
I just wanta know that I'm the only chicken he feeds
I was sittin' home thinkin' how I'd like to be drinkin' a Coke somewhere in town
When a friend phoned me, and she told me you were feedin' old Suzie Brown
Well I got down low, got to feelin' so low that I thought I would die
Well I've got news for you, I'm not going to sit home and cry
It's not because the money you have is only chicken feed
It's because I know I'm not the only chicken you feed
I don't care if a boy has barely enough to feed me
I just wanta know that I'm the only chicken he feeds feed
I just wanta know that I'm the only chicken he feeds feed

My Very Good Friend The Milkman
My Very Good Friend The Milkman
Composer(s): Johnny Burke; Harold Spina
Performer(s): Fats Waller
and various other artists
My very good friend the milkman says
That I've been losing to much sleep
He doesn't like the hours I keep
And he suggests that you should marry me
My very good friend the mailman says
That it would make his burden less
If we both had the same address
And he suggests that you should marry me
Then there's a very friendly fellow who prints
All the latest real estate news
And every day he sends me blueprints
Of cottages with country views
My very good friends the neighbours say
That they've been watching little things I do
And they perceive that I love you
So I suggest that you should marry me

Grosse Galette
Grosse Galette
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Dans le brouillard de Londres
J'ai rencontré un soir
Un type nommé Bobby
Un guitariste noir
Il venait de Kingstone
Avait des yeux violets
Dans un bar de Brighton Beach
C'était là qu'il jouait
Ses doigts longs et rapides couraient sur sa guitare
Ses riffs comme des fluides transperçaient le brouillard
Puis la lumière dorée du soleil de Negril
Planait sur la fumée en petites notes agiles
Ses textes étaient précis et bourrés d'humour noir
C'était donc mon ami depuis ce fameux soir
Mélodie, tempo, harmonie
J'te les joue ici, mais elles viennent d'ailleurs
Mélodie, tempo, harmonie
Guitare, basse, batterie, saxophone et chœurs
J'étais noir moi aussi mais pour d'autres raisons
J'avais passé dix ans à dormir en prison
C'était une drôle d'affaire pleine de coups d'escopette
De transporteurs de fond et puis de grosse galette
Mélodie, tempo, harmonie
Je chante en sous-sol mon reggae braqueur
Mélodie, tempo, harmonie
Surtout pas de cris, ça s'passe en douceur
Dans la vie, mon garçon, que tu sois noir ou blanc
T'as le choix, tu travailles ou tu gagnes de l'argent
Les flics n'ont pas aimé cette chanson historique
Paumée la grosse galette et finie la musique
Mélodie, tempo, harmonie
J'te les joue ici, mais elles viennent d'ailleurs
Mélodie, tempo, harmonie
Guitare, basse, batterie, saxophone et chœurs

That Face
That Face
Composer(s): Lew Spence - Alan Bergman
Performer(s): Fred Astaire
and multiple other artists
That face, that face, that wonderful face!
It shines, it glows all over the place
And how I love to watch it change expressions
Each look becomes the pride of my possessions
I love that face, that face, it just isn't fair
You must forgive the way that I stare
But never will these eyes behold a sight that could replace
That face
That face
That face
I love those eyes, those lips, that fabulous smile
She laughs and Spring goes right out of style
Oh never will these eyes behold a sight that could replace
That face
That face
That face
That face
That face
That face
That face

My Unfinished Symphony
My Unfinished Symphony
Composer(s): Milton Carson
Performer(s): David Whitfield
My love is my unfinished symphony
When you kiss me violins begin to play
The melody I hear when you are near
Will linger on till tomorrow is today
My love's a rhapsody the breezes sigh
In my heart it sings and echoes to the sky
Such a love will live on through eternity
That's my unfinished symphony
Such a love will live on through eternity
That's my unfinished symphony

Gross Chapel - British Grenadiers
Gross Chapel - British Grenadiers
Composer(s): Steve Hanley; Craig Scanlon; Mark E. Smith
Performer(s): The Fall
Porterage down
The dark gross chapel
The stepped streets around now
Sells person mobile
Porterage down
Dark gross chapel
The stepped streets around now
Was introduced by a woman loose-limbed, slim
One look up to a whitewashed ugly wall
Whoosh made worse by dirty postcards
Trapped in their town
Their bracing criminals in panicky hall
No time for The Fall group
I'll put you down
Porterage down
To the dark gross chapel
These stepped streets around now
(So's cro-cellar...)
I'll put you down
To the gross chapel
You were right said Peter
Dying for a smoke
But you should've said to them please
(Job's idea) how little they (...)
(Like Canava's) coming up assaulted
They were as fed up as I was
Waiting outside after putting blame on you
Porterage down
(I slam) I am ailing
Porterage down
(...)
Wearing his clothes, they (...)
and their commandos live happy
In that scaly (eard)
Where (air) were commandos
Storm all pallisades
Our leaders will not refuse us
We will (tangle maze)
Throw them from glasses
And about the enemy's ears
Sing
Ta ra ra ra ra
For the British Grenadiers
I'll put you down

By twelve o'clock they called me gate

My Uncle
My Uncle
Composer(s): Graham Parsons; Chris Hillman
Originally performed by: The Flying Burrito Brothers
A letter came today from the draft board
With trembling hands I read the questionnaire
It asked me lots of things about my mama and papa
Now that ain't what I call exactly fair
So I'm heading for the nearest foreign border
Vancouver may be just my kind of town
'Cause they don't need the kind of law and order
That tends to keep a good man underground
A sad old soldier once told me a story
About a battlefield that he was on
He said a man should never fight for glory
He must know what is right and what is wrong
So I'm heading for the nearest foreign border
Vancouver may be just my kind of town
'Cause they don't need the kind of law and order
That tends to keep a good man underground, yeah
Now, I don't know how much I owe my uncle
But I suspect it's more than I can pay
He's asking me to sign a three-year contract
I guess I'll catch the first bus out today
So I'm heading for the nearest foreign border
Vancouver may be just my kind of town
'Cause they don't need the kind of law and order
That tends to keep a good man underground
That tends to keep a good man underground

You seem to be lonely
Well don't worry I'm feeling the same
Oh, it's a groovy situation
A splendid combination
That we should meet
At a time like this
Oh it's a groovy situation
a splendid combination
You're something that
I just can't miss
It's been a long time sweet darling
since love has come my way
But I'm trying so hard
To find the right words to say
Oh, it's a groovy situation
A splendid combination
That we should meet
At a time like this
Oh it's a groovy situation
a splendid combination
You're something that
I just can't miss

My Turn On Earth
My Turn On Earth
Composer(s): Lex de Azevedo; Carol Lynn Pearson
The world turns 'round like a merry go round
It lets some off and it takes some on
Some horses are high and some horses are low
Some turns are short and some turns are long
My turn, it's my turn
It ends with death it begins with birth
And it's my turn, it's my turn
It's my turn on Earth
Well never mind just how long you stay
The size or shade of the horse you've got
Just see all the sights and hear all the sounds
And feel the sun, and you'll learn a lot
My turn, it's my turn
It ends with death it begins with birth
And it's my turn, it's my turn
It's my turn on Earth
The world turns 'round like a Ferris wheel
Some times you're low and sometimes you're high
But even way down you can never forget
The thrill you feel when you're touchin' the sky
My turn, it's my turn
It ends with death it begins with birth
And it's my turn, it's my turn
It's my turn on Earth
