Lost My Driving Wheel
Lost My Driving Wheel
Composer(s): David Wiffen
First release by: Tom Rush - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
I just came up on a midnight special, how about that
My car broke down in Texas, stopped dead in her tracks
I just called to tell you that I want you
I want to tell you how I feel
I feel like some old engine
Lost my drivin' wheel
I feel like some old engine
Lost my drivin' wheel
I took my money on a night train north, what a terrible flight
But I made my promise to be there with you on Saturday night
I just called to tell you that I need you
I need to tell you how I feel
I feel like some old engine
Lost my drivin' wheel
You can't say much in a phone call baby, ah you know how it is
But there's one short little thing I've got to say girl, please listen to this
I called to tell you that I love you
I'd love to tell you how I feel
I feel like some old engine
Lost my drivin' wheel

Fatima Brown
Fatima Brown
Composer(s): Joe McCarthy; Jimmie V. Monaco
In our town lived a girlie named Fatima Brown
She used to dance night and day, light and gay
Oh she certainly was slick, she had the kick
But one day came a sporty actor 'round our way
Hee promised he would marry her
Then he carried her off, the horrid thing
Now this same Fatima Brown is the rage of New York town
But
Years ago, when Fatima started with her show
She used to dance very mild, she was wild
When she found she didn't go, she was a crow
Bye and bye funny little movements she would try
She found the men admired her and inspired her so, the rest you know
Now she almost shakes the earth, and you get your money's worth
But
Oh, how she changed, she used to dance the butterfly
Gracefully she'd kick so high
Now she dances the seven veils, but six veils must be shy
O o-o! If the home folks knew, why they'll all come sneakin'
Even bring the deacon down to town
She flitters here, she flitters there, flitters almost everywhere
And you have to hold tight to your chair, when you see Fatima Brown

The Bee Song
The Bee Song
Composer(s): Kenneth Blain
Performer(s): Arthur Askey
Oh what a glorious thing to be
A healthy grown up busy busy bee
Whiling away
The passing hours
Pinching all the pollen
From the cauliflow'rs
I'd like to be a busy little bee
Being just as busy as a bee can be
Flying round the garden
Brightest ever seen
Taking back the honey
To the dear old queen
Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee
Bz if you like but don't sting me
Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee
Bz if you like but don't sting me
Oh what a glorious thing to be
A healthy grown up busy busy bee
Toying with the tulips
Tasting ev'ry type
Building up the honeycomb
That looks like tripe.
I'd like to be a busy little bee
Being just as busy as a bee can be
Flying all around
In the wild hedgerows
Stinging all the cows
Upon the parson's nose
Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee
Bz if you like but don't sting me
Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee
Bz if you like but don't sting me
Oh what a glorious thing to be
A healthy grown up busy busy bee
Visiting the picnics
Quite a little tease
Raising little lumps
Upon the maidens' knees
I'd like to be a busy little bee
Being just as busy as a bee can be
Flirting with the butterfly
Strong upon the wing
Whoopee! O death
Where is thy sting?
Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee
Bz if you like but don't sting me
Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee
Bz if you like but don't sting me
Oh what a glorious thing to be
A healthy grown up busy busy bee
To be a good bee
One must contrive
For bees in a beehive
Must behive
But maybe I wouldn't be a bee
Bees are all right when alive, you see
But when bees die
You really should see 'em
Pinned on a card
In a dirty museum
Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee
Bz if you like but don't sting me
Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee
Bz if you like but don't sting me

Can You Hear What I'm Saying
Can You Hear What I'm Saying
Composer(s): Jean-Michel Byron - David Paich - Mike Porcaro
Performer(s): Toto
The world is precious, a gift to you and me
I suggest we treat her right, with love and dignity
Everybody's looking for some peace of mind
If you seek the truth then you will surely find
Everybody wants to have global peace
Whilst the press of a button can shake the world to its knees
Can you hear what I'm saying, can you hear what I'm saying
Those who say might is right, I beg to disagree
I say we all unite and redirect our destiny
Everybody's looking for a quick solution
Our longs are choking from breating in air polution
I say put down your guns and stop the revolution
And say this time we make a restitution
Can you hear what I'm saying, can you hear what I'm saying
Can you hear what I'm saying, can you hear what I'm saying
Can you hear what I'm saying, can you hear what I'm saying
Can you hear me now, I am calling right out for you
(Can you hear me calling out to you, can you hear me calling out to you)
There's so much starvation, so much say untruth
So much prejudice, there's so much liquidation - oh how long, how long
Can you hear what I'm saying
Africa, America, Eurasia, Latin Africa

Father's Whiskers
Father's Whiskers
I have a dear old daddy
For whom I nightly pray
He has a set of whiskers
That are always in the way
Oh, they're always in the way
The cows eat them for hay
They hide the dirt on Daddy's shirt
They're always in the way
Father had a strong back
Now it's all caved in
He stepped upon his whiskers
And walked up to his chin
Oh, they're always in the way
The cows eat them for hay
They hide the dirt on Daddy's shirt
They're always in the way
Father has a daughter
Her name is Ella Mae
She climbs up father's whiskers
And braids them all the way
Oh, they're always in the way
The cows eat them for hay
They hide the dirt on Daddy's shirt
They're always in the way
I have a dear old mother
She likes the whiskers, too
She uses them for dusting
And cleaning out the flue
Oh, they're always in the way
The cows eat them for hay
They hide the dirt on Daddy's shirt
They're always in the way

The Bed's Too Big Without You
The Bed's Too Big Without You
((Spanish Version: La Cama Es Muy Grande Sin Ti (Plastilina Mosh) - 1998))
Composer(s): Sting
First release by: The Police - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists
Bed's too big without you
Cold wind blows right through my open door
I can't sleep with your memory
Dreaming dreams of what used to be
When she left I was cold inside
That look on my face was just pride
No regrets, no love, no tears
Living on my own was the least of my fears
Bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
Since that day when you'd gone
Just had to carry on
I get through the day, but late at night
Made love to my pillow, but it didn't feel right
Every day just the same
Old rules for the same old game
All I gained was heartache
All I made was one mistake
Now the bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you

Can You Hear The Music
Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones
Can you hear the music, can you hear the music?
Can you feel the magic hangin' in the air?
Can you feel the magic? Oh, yeah
Love is a mystery I can't demystify, oh, no
Sometimes I wonder why we're here
But I don't care, I don't care
Can you hear the music, can you hear the music?
Can you feel the magic dancin' in the air?
Can you feel the magic? Oh, yeah
Love is a mystery I can't demystify, oh, no
Sometimes I I'm dancin' on air
But I get scared, I get scared
When I hear the drummer, get me in the groove
When I hear the guitar, makes me wanna move
Can you feel the magic, floatin' in the air?
Can you feel the magic? Oh, yeah
Sometimes you're feelin' you've been pushed around
And your rainbow just ain't here
Don't you fear, don't you fear
When you hear the music trouble disappear
When you hear the music ringin' in your ears
Can you feel the magic floatin' in the air?
Can you hear the magic? Oh, yeah, yeah
When you hear the music ringin' in my ear
Can you hear the music? Oh, yeah
Can you hear the drummer? Gets you in the groove
Can you hear the guitar? Make you wanna move? Yeah
Can you hear the music? Oh, yeah
Can you hear the music ringin' in my ear?
Can you hear the music, can you hear the music?

Father To Son
Father To Son
Composer(s): Brian May
Performer(s): Queen
A word in your ear
From father to son
Hear the word that I say
I fought with you
Fought on your side
Long before you were born
Joyful the sound
The word goes around
From father to son to son
And the voice is so clear
Time after time it keeps
Calling you, calling you on
Don't destroy what you see
Your country to be
Just keep building on the ground
That's been won
Kings will be crowned
The word goes around
From father to son to son
Won't you hear us sing
Our family song
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Now we hand it on
But I've heard it all before
Take this letter that I give you
Take it, sonny, hold it high
You won't understand a word that's in it
But you'll write it all again before you die
A word in your ear
From father to son
Funny you don't hear
A single word that I say
But my letter to you
Will stay by your side
Thru' the years
Till the loneliness is gone
Sing if you will
But the air you breathe
I live to give you
Father to son, father to son
Father to son, father to son
Joyful the sound
Word goes around
Father to son to son
Kings will be crowned
Earth goes around
Father to son to son
Joyful the sound
Word goes around
Father to son to son
Kings will be crowned
Earth goes around
Father to son to son

The Beautiful Day
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
Performer(s): Tiny Tim
On the beautiful day that I dream about
In a place I would like to be
Is a beautiful place where the sun comes out
And it shines in the sky for me
On this beautiful winter's morning
If my wish could come true somehow
Then the beautiful day that I dream about
Would be here and now
On this beautiful winter's morning
If my wish could come true somehow
Then the beautiful day that I dream about
Would be here and now

Can You Follow?
Can You Follow?
Composer(s): Pete Brown - Jack Bruce
Performer(s): Jack Bruce; Larry Coryell
Hey can you follow
Now that the trace is fainter
In the sand
Try turning your face to the wall
Can you still read me
Now that the chase is wilder
In your hand
Try losing your place in the sun
All the praises of the dream
Tuned to tongles in the trees
All yesterday's fine chariots
Turned to buses in the street
Can you still hear me
Now that the songs are moving
Into night
Try sleeping with the dancers in your room

(Get up on your feet and do the Funky Alfonzo)
Father Vyvian O'Blivion
Resplendent in his frock
Was whipping up the batter
For the pancakes of his flock
He was looking rather bleary
He forgot to watch the clock
But the night before
Behind the door
A leprechaun had stroked it
But the night before
Behind the door
A leprechaun had slowly storked it
He slowly stroked it
But the night before
Behind the door
A leprechaun had stroked his spot
He stroked his spot
It set him off in such a frenzy
He sang "Lock Around the Crock!"
And he topped it off with a ...
And he topped it off with a ...
And he topped it off with a ...
oo ooo ooo
oo ooo ooo
oo ooo ooo
As he stumbled on his ...
He was delighted as it stiffened
And ripped right through his sock
"Oh St. Alfonzo would be proud of me"
He shouted down the block
Domine vobiscum
Et cum spiritu tuo
Don't you eat my sleazy pancakes
Just for Saintly Alphonzo
They're so light and fluffy white
We'll raise a fortune by tonight
They're so light and fluffy white
We'll raise a fortune by tonight
They're so light and fluffy brown
They're the finest in the town
They're so light and fluffy brown
They're the finest in the town
Good morning your highness
oo oo ooo
Good gosh, you're sumptuous
oo oo ooo
Good morning your highness
oo oo ooo
Good gosh, you're sumptuous

Can You Find It In Your Heart
Can You Find It In Your Heart
Composer(s): Robert Allen - Al Stillman
Performer(s): Tony Bennett
I want your eyes to see my eyes
I want your lips to touch my lips
I want your love to be my love forever more
Can you find it in your heart to forgive me
I was thoughtless heaven knows I acted badly
But the love I once gave to you so gladly
Can you find it in your heart
Can't we make another start, please forgive me
I'm repenting and your arms alone can save me
So if carelessly I lost the love you gave me
Can you find it in your heart
Day and night I want your eyes to see my eyes
I want your lips to touch my lips
I want your love to be my love forever more
And never never more to part
Must you tell me that it's over, think it over
Though I once betrayed your love, forgive the treason
And my darling if your mind can't find the reason
Can you find it in your heart
Must you tell me that it's over, think it over
Though I once betrayed your love, forgive the treason
And my darling if your mind can't find the reason
Can you find it in your heart
Can you find it in your heart

Father And Son
Father And Son
Composer(s): Cat Stevens
Performer(s): Cat Stevens
Father
It's not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found something going on
But take your time, think a lot
Why, think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not
Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again
It's always been the same, same old story
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go
Father
It's not time to make a change
Just sit down, take it slowly
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down
if you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them you know not me
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go

The Bay Of Biscay
The Bay Of Biscay
(Traditional)
Loud roars the dreadful thunder
The rain a deluge show'rs
The clouds are rent asunder
By lightning's vivid pow'rs
The night was drear and dark
Our poor devoted bark
Till next day, there she lay
In the Bay of Biscay, O!
Now dash'd upon the billow
Her op'ning timbers creak
Each fears a wat'ry pillow
None stop the dreadful leak
To cling to slipp'ry shrouds
Each breathless seaman crowds
As she lay, till next day
In the Bay of Biscay, O!
At length the wished for tomorrow
Breaks thro' the hazy sky
Absorb'd in silent sorrow
Each heaves a bitter sigh
The dismal wreck to view
Strikes horror to the crew
As she lay, on that day
In the Bay of Biscay, O!
Her yielding timbers sever
Her pitchy seams are rent
When heav'n, all bounteous ever
Its boundless mercy sent
A sail in sight appears
We hail her with three cheer!
Now we sail, with the gale
From the Bay of Biscay, O!

Can You Feel What I'm Saying
Composer(s): Minnie Riperton - Richard Rudolph - Leon Ware
Performer(s): Minnie Riperton
First we learn how to care
Magical dreams, midnight summer air
Wouldn’t it be nice to find that some... warm... to share
What I care
Maybe someone to love for a lifetime
Oooh, I have love supreme
Mystical movements making me flow free
Slippin’ in between the stars we find that shine all the time
Now they’re yours
Now they’re mine
Now there’s someone to love for a life time
Ohh, can you feel what I’m saying
Touching you... touching... touching me
Can you feel what I’m saying
Touching you... touching... touching me

Father & Son
Performer(s): James Griffin
When I was a child
I was free runnin wild
And my mother said
Look what your father's done
You will not obey
Won't do nothin' I say
Then she shook her head
I was my father's son
Father and son
We were a lot like each other
Father and son
You know the blood is thicker than water
Night after night
My parents would tight
Till my mother said
Hush up you'll wake the kid
And then came the day when he just went away
And I sat and I cried
And wondered why he did
Father and son
We couldn't be together
Father and son
You know the blood is thicker than water
----- years later
But as I go wanderin' on
I still believe he'll come along
And we could talk as if nothin' were wrong
Of things that we done
Only to talk to him father to son

The Battle Of New Orleans
The Battle Of New Orleans ((aka The Battle Of Kookamonga (Homer & Jethro))
((Adapted from: The 8th Of January (Traditional))
Composer(s): Jimmie Driftwood
First release by: Jimmie Driftwood - 1958/1959
and multiple other artists
In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans
We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We looked down the river and we seed the British come
And there must have been a hundred of 'em beatin' on the drum
They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring
We stood behind our cotton bales and didn't say a thing
We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets till we looked 'em in the eyes
We held our fire till we seed their faces well
Then we opened up our squirrel guns and gave 'em...
Well... we...
... fired our guns and the British kept a'comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Yeah they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
We filled his head with cannonballs 'n' powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind
We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Yeah they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
