Come Outside


Come Outside
Composer(s): Charles Blackwell
Originally performed by: Mike Sarne & Wendy Richard



Little doll we've been jiving all night long (Little doll)
Little doll gotta feeling somethings wrong (Little doll)
Coz it aint right to wanna keep on dancing
There won't be any time left for romancing

Come outside, come outside
There's a lovely moon out there
Come outside, come outside
While we got time to spare

Little doll it seems ages since we kissed (Little doll)
Little doll think of all the fun we've missed (Little doll)
Coz it aint right to wanna keep on dancing
There won't be any time left for romancing

Come outside, (Wendy: what for)
Come outside (Wendy: whats the rush)
There's a lovely moon out there (Wendy: it's cold out side)
Come outside, (Wendy: why)
Come outside (Wendy: you do keep on)
While we got time to spare (Wendy: I want another twist)

Now I went and promised your old man
That we'd be home about half past ten
Seems we've got just one more jive
Then we'll be starting home again

Come outside,(Wendy: get lost)
Come outside (Wendy: go and ask Lil)
There's a lovely moon out there (Wendy: you can go off people)
Come outside, (Wendy: give over)
Come outside (Wendy: belt up)
While we got time to spare (Wendy: why don't you listen to the beat)

Little doll I know the band aint bad (Little doll)
Little doll I'm agetting kinda mad (Little doll)
Coz it aint right to wanna keep on dancing
There won't be any time left for romancing

Come outside,(Wendy: lay off)
Come outside (Wendy: shove it)
There's a lovely moon out there (Wendy: you are a one)
Come outside,(Wendy: all right)
Come outside (Wendy: not for too long)
While we got time for a bit of slap and tickle
(Wendy: I'll slap and tickle you in a minute)
Oh come out for a bit of .....

River, Stay 'Way From My Door


River, Stay 'Way From My Door
Composer(s): Harry Woods; Mort Dixon
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists



You keep goin' your way - I'll keep goin' my way
(I'll keep goin' my way, you keep rollin' your way)
River, stay 'way from the door
I just got (me) a cabin - you don't need my (you'll never need that) cabin
River, stay 'way from the door

Don't (you) come up any higher - I'm so all alone
Leave the bed and the fire - that is all I own (and you can have that phone)

I ain't breakin' your heart - don't (you) start breakin' my heart
River, stay 'way from the door

(Stay 'way, get 'way, roll 'way, stay 'way)
(You dirty, old, muddy river, you)
(River, stay 'way from the door)

The Three B's


The Three B's
Composer(s): Hugh Martin - Ralph Blane
Performer(s): June Allyson, Victoria Schools & Nancy Walker
and multiple other artists



Gloria:
I never wanna hear Johann Sebastian Bach

June:
And I don't wanna listen to Ludwig Beethoven

Nancy:
And I don't give a hoot for ol' Johannes Brahms

All:
The B's we want are these, the B's we want are these

June:
They're the barrelhouse, the boogie-woogie

Gloria:
And the blues

All:
Yes, the barrelhouse, the boogie-woogie and the blues!

June:
Oh, the barrelhouse makes you want to carouse

Nancy:
Every boogie beat will raise your heat

Gloria:
When they start to play the blues

All:
You'll never choose to lose the blues

Gloria:
Oh, the blues will really get you

June:
And the barrelhouse is bound to upset you

Nancy:
And the boogie-woogie beat will drive you straight to distraction
Hey, let's go professor, get a solid reaction!
From a barrelhouse, the boog-boog-boog-boog boogie and the blues

All:
Yes, the barrelhouse, yeah, the boogie-woogie and the blues

All:
When a Dixieland band gets up on the stand
You'll hear the trombones slide and start to ride
So make 'em play those dirty
Dirty hurdy-gurdy barrelhouse, boogie and blues
The barrelhouse, boogie and blues
The barrelhouse, the boogie-woogie and the blues
We're up a tree now, we don't know which to choose
The barrelhouse, the boogie-woogie or the blues

Nancy:
I love the boogie 'cos it tickles my spine
I love the boogie 'cos it's fresh and it's fine
Just like a cigarette with modern design
That's why I love the boogie-woogie (Yes! Yes!)
It seems to knock the wind right out of my chest
It's so darn good it makes a fool of the rest
Just goes to show you that the boogie's the best
That's why I love the boogie-woogie (Yes! Yes!)
It's right as rain, low as a thunder
Light as a cloud, sweet as a cake
It's got a kick like mountain liquor
And it's as slick and hard to take as Veronica Lake
It picks you up and then knocks you right down
It makes you laugh and play and act like a clown
No other music has the right to the crown
'Cos there's nothing that will raise your heat
Like the boogie-woogie beat

June:
Don't mean the barrelhouse

Nancy:
Like the boogie-woogie beat

Gloria:
Don't mean the blues

Nancy:
I love the boogie-woogie beat!

Gloria:
I love the boogie too, but not when I'm feeling blue
I get the blues in the mornin', the blues at night
I even get the blues when I'm feelin' all right
'Cos it sounds so good and it feels so good
And it is so good, my best jazz music there is

June:
I love the blues as well, but not when I'm feeling swell
When I'm feeling kind of chummy and I wanna join the scrummy
I go barrelhouse, barrelhouse
The atmosphere is squalid, but the band is really solid
They play barrelhouse, barrelhouse, they really go to town
The beat is steady as a rock there
They play till five or six o'clock there
You'll be mighty glad you found 'em
It's great to be around 'em
Oh they sock it, beat it, kill it
The barrelhouse will make you hot on jazz

All:
It's the barrelhouse, the boogie-woogie and the blues
That's the barrelhouse, the boogie-woogie and the blues
Talkin' about those three B's
Talkin' about those three B's
Talkin' about those three B's
One, two, three B's
One, two, one-two-three B's

Big wheel just a keep on turning
And the fire just a keep on burning

Opportunuity just keep on knocking

We just keep right on huggin' and kissin'
We got love yes we have we got love

The Thousandth And Tenth Day Of The Human Totem Pole


The Thousandth And Tenth Day Of The Human Totem Pole
Composer(s): Don Van Vliet
Performer(s): Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band



The thousandth and tenth day of the human totem pole
The morning was distemper grey
Of the thousandth and tenth day of the human totem pole
The man at the bottom was smiling
He had just finished his breakfast smiling
It hadn't rained or manured for over two hours
The man at the top was starving
The pole was a horrible looking thing
With all of those eyes and ears
And waving hands for balance
There was no way to get a copter in close
So everybody was starving together
The man at the top had long ago given up
But didn't have nerve enough to climb down
At night the pole would talk to itself and the chatter wasn't too good
Obviously the pole didn't like itself, it wanted to walk!
It was the summer and it was hot
And balance wouldn't permit skinning to undergarments
It was an integrated pole, it was taking on an reddish brown cast
Exercise on the pole was isometric
Kind of a flex and then balance
Then the highest would roll together
The ears wiggle, hands balance
There was a gurgling and googling heard
A tenth of the way up the pole
Approaching was a small child
With Statue of Liberty doll

River Of No Return


River Of No Return
Composer(s): Ken Darby; Lionel Newman
Performer(s): Tennessee Ernie Ford;
and various other artists



There is a river called The River Of No Return
Sometimes it's peaceful and sometimes wild and free!
Love is a trav'ler on The River Of No Return
Swept on for ever to be lost in the stormy sea
Wail-a-ree I can hear the river call (no return, no return)
Where the roarin' waters fall wail-a-ree
I can hear my lover call come to me (no return, no return)
I lost my love on the river and for ever my heart will yearn
Gone gone for ever down The River Of No Return
Wail-a-ree wail-a-re-e-ee
She'll/He'll never return to me! (no return, no return, no return)

The Thousand Islands Song (Oh! Florence)


The Thousand Islands Song (Oh! Florence)
Composer(s): Bob Hilliard - Carl Sigman
Performer(s): Arthur Godfrey
and multiple other artists



(Row, row, row your boat, up the river St. Lawrence)
(Hollering, hollering, hollering, hollering) Hollering for Florence (Row your boat)
I left the one I love on one of the Thousand Islands (Row, row your boat)
But unfortunately I can't remember which one
So I row, row, row, row up the river St. Lawrence
And I'm hollerin' Florence, oh! where can you be?
(Where, oh, where, where, oh, where can she be?)

I wouldn't be so lost up here on the Thousand Islands (Row, row, your boat)
If we only had met down on the Isle of Capri
Now I just can't find the place you marked on the post card
Call the Navy and Coast Guard
Oh! where, where can you be?
(Where, oh, where, where, oh, where can she be?)

Mustn't take a nap, gotta watch the map
That was Island seven-ninety-three
Row from shore to shore, knock on every door
How many Thousand Islands can there be?

I better find you soon 'cause I see a thousand row boats (Row, row your boat)
And the fellers inside look mighty lonesome to me
When they row, row, row, row up the River St. Lawrence
They're all hollerin' "Florence, oh! where can you be?"
(Row, row, your boat up the River St. Lawrence
Hollering, hollering, hollering, hollering, hollering for Florence)

I better find you soon 'cause I see a thousand row boats (Row, row your boat)
And the fellers inside look mighty lonesome to me
When they row, row, row, row up the River St. Lawrence
They're all hollerin' "Florence, oh! where can you be?"
(Row, row, your boat) Hey Florence (Row, row your boat)
Hey Florence! Hey Florence! Hey Florence!
Hey Flowie! You're harder to find than Chloe!

Come On To Nashville Tennessee
Composer(s): Walter Donaldson



I want to tell you that you've been real nice to me
take a look and you can see I'm as happy as can be
I leave tomorrow just a word before I go
I'm delighted so delighted
Here's the thanks I want to show

If I should tell you 'Bout my mother's bill of fare
And the good things you can share
You'd be hungry as a bear
There's something pleasing In the Southern atmosphere
When you strike it you will like it
You can stay for a year

Come on along with me and meet my family
How glad they're goin' to be to have your company
Altough you'll find no fancy style
They're going to greet you with a smile
You'll be itchin', you'll be itchin' to get around the kitchen
Oh, if you only knew
What mother thinks of you
My friends are waiting too
they're all expecting you
Because I wrote them all about you
Now I can't go home without you
Don't be bashful come on to Nashville
Come on to Nashville, Tennessee

The Thoughts Of Mary Jane


The Thoughts Of Mary Jane
Composer(s): Nick Drake
First release by: Nick Drake - 1969



Who can know
The thoughts of Mary Jane
Why she flies
Or goes out in the rain
Where she's been
And who she's seen
In her journey to the stars

Who can know
The reasons for her smile
What are her dreams
When they've journeyed for a mile
The way she sings
And her brightly coloured rings
Make her the princess of the sky

Who can know
What happens in her mind
Did she come from a strange world
And leave her mind behind
Her long lost sighs
And her brightly coloured eyes
Tell her story to the wind

Who can know
The thoughts of Mary Jane
Why she flies
Or goes out in the rain
Where she's been
And who she's seen
In her journey to the stars

Performer(s): The Drifters;
Daniel O'Donnell; The Pioneers; Jackie Robinson



Little girl, you look so lonesome
I see you are feeling blue
Ain't no use in staying at home
I know what you should do

Come on over to my place
Hey girl, we're having a party
We'll be swinging, dancing and singing
Baby, come on over tonight

Now, you don't need the address
To find out where we'll be
'Cause you can't help hearing the music
Halfway down our street, so baby

Come on over to my place
Come on, we're having a party
We'll be swinging, dancing and singing
Baby, come on over tonight

When we get tired of dancing
And things start getting slow
That's the real best out of the evening
To turn the lights down low, so baby, baby

Come on over to my place
Hey girl, we're having a party
We'll be swinging, dancing and singing
Baby, come on over tonight

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Come on over to my place
Hey you, we're having a party
We'll be swinging, dancing and singing
Oh baby, won't you come on over tonight

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Come on over to my place
Hey you, we're having a party
We'll be swinging, dancing and singing
Oh baby, won't you come on over tonight

River Of Love (Juice Newton)


River Of Love
Composer(s): Otha Young; Juice Newton
Performer(s): Juice Newton



Listen to the story 'bout the man who tried
To drink from the river 'til the river ran dry
He drank so long and he drank so hard
The river ran dry and it broke his heart

River of love, river of love
Drink from the river, fly like a dove
The river runs long, the river runs free
But the river of love never runs to me

Many are the times that he called his love
Called her to his side 'til he had enough
Then came a wind to blow her away
Never did he drink from the river that day

River of love, river of love
Drink from the river, fly like a dove
The river runs long, the river runs free
But the river of love never runs to me

Pricked by a thorn and heart will bleed
Red as a rose for the world to see
Chained by time to the river side
A fool will drink 'till the river runs dry

River of love, river of love
Drink from the river, fly like a dove
The river runs long, the river runs free
But the river of love (never runs)
River of love, river of love
Drink from the river, fly like a dove
The river runs long, the river runs free
But the river of love never runs to me

The Third Man


The Third Man
Composer(s): Anton Karas - Walter Lord
First performance by: Anton Karas - 1949
Covered by multiple other artists



When a zither starts to play
You'll remember yesterday
In its haunting strain
Vienna lives again
Free and bright and gay
In your mind a sudden gleam
Of a half forgotten dream
Seems to glimmer when you hear The Third Man Theme

Once again there comes to mind
Someone that you left behind
Love that somehow didn't last
In that happy city of the past
Does she still recall the dream
That rapture so supreme
When first she heard the haunting Third Man Theme?

Carnivals and carousels and ferris wheels and parasols
The Danube nights, the dancing lights again will shine
The zither's sweet refrain
Keeps swirling in your brain
Like new May wine
Strauss waltzes, candle-glow
And the laughter of long ago
Fill the magic chords and make it seem like today

You never knew that you could be
Enchanted by a melody
The years will never drive it out
You don't know why
It's something you can't live without
You hear it in the twilight hush
And in the morning traffic rush
A song that's always new
In your heart a part of you
Oh, shines so brightly when you hear The Third Man Theme

When a zither starts to play
You'll remember yesterday
In its haunting strain
Vienna lives again
Free and bright and gay
In your mind a sudden gleam
Of a well remembered dream
Seems to glimmer when you hear The Third Man Theme

Once again there comes to mind
Someone that you left behind
Love that somehow didn't last
In that happy city of the past
Does she still recall the dream
That rapture so supreme
When first she heard the haunting Third Man Theme?

Carnivals and carousels and ferris wheels and parasols
The Danube nights, the dancing lights again will shine
The zither's sweet refrain
Keeps swirling in your brain
Like new May wine
Strauss waltzes, candle-glow
And the laughter of long ago
Fill the magic chords and make it seem like today

You never knew that you could be
Enchanted by a melody
The years will never drive it out
You don't know why
It's something you can't live without
You hear it in the twilight hush
And in the morning traffic rush
A song that's always new
In your heart a part of you
Oh, shines so brightly when you hear The Third Man Theme

Jeder Tag da schlaegt einmal die Stunde, dann lass die Probleme und denk nicht daran
Jeder Tag hat als schoenes den Abend und Glueck wartet neben an
Holl mich ab und dann gehen wir
Nochmal, ja, wir beide gehen in das Tanz Lokal
Da liegt was in der Luft so wunderbar
Bei dem ersten Blick ist alles klar
Und ich sage Dir, come on my boy die Musik ist schoen und die Liebe ist gerade hier
Come on my boy und tanz mit mir

Gibt es fuer uns Heute Sekt oder Kohle?
Daran liegt fuer uns nicht das Glueck der Welt
Ja, dass ist fuer uns einerlei
Hier ist der Beat der uns gefaellt
Du brauchst keinen feinen Frack, wie ein reicher Mann mit einem Cadillac
Du musst nur bei mir sein und treu mir sein
Dann kommt das Glueck von ganz allein
Und ich sag Dir, come on my boy die Musik ist schoen und die Liebe music ist gerade hier
Come on my boy und tanz mit mir
Yeah! Yeah!

River Of Dreams


River Of Dreams
Composer(s): Glenn Frey; Jack Tempchin
Performer(s): Glenn Frey



On a dark December morning
When the sun refused to shine
Spent another sleepless night
Got so much on my mind
Think I finally know what's wrong
I think I've gotta leave this place behind
So I said wake up, Linda,
I've had a dream
I dreamed we moved away from here
To a place I'd never seen
Where the nights were long and cold
And the air was fresh and clean.
And there we were standing
Underneath the western sky
Beside a home we built ourselves
Way up in the mountains high
And we lived happy there, just you and I
On a river of dreams
There's no need to worry now
Cause I've got a plan
We don't need this modern world
I'm not a modern man
We're gonna get ourselves off these city streets
We're gonna get back on the land
There's a whole lot of people out there
Feel just like you and me
They'd love to pack their leavin' trucks
And say goodbye to all their misery
What'd ya say we pack up that Camaro, honey
And chase the sun until we're free
And if I could I'd lift you up on angel wings
We'd fly away and never worry about a thing
We'd know the joy and riches a simple life can bring
On a river of dreams, on a river of dreams
So get your things together now
I'll be getting mine
I've finally got the feeling girl
The sun is gonna shine
You know people don't run out of dreams
People just run out of time
Let's find that place out there
Underneath the western sky
We'll build a home ourselves
Way up in the mountains high
We'll live happy there 'til the day we die
On a river of dreams
And we'll have stars to wish on every single night
We'll build a fire and make love by candlelight
We'll do our moondance 'til we get it right
On a river of dreams, on a river of dreams
I can see us standing by the river
Holding hands beside the river

The Thing-Ummy-Bob (That's Gonna Win The War)


The Thing-Ummy-Bob (That's Gonna Win The War)
Composer(s): David Heneker - Gordon Thompson
Performer(s): Arthur Askey & Gracie Fields



You've heard of Florence Nightingale, Grace Darling and the rest
You've all seen Greta Garbo and her busom friend, Mae West
But there's a little lady, I want you all to meet
She's working on munitions and she lives just down the street

She can't pretend to be, a great celebrity
But still... she's most important in her way
The job she has to do, may not seem like much to you
But all the same, I'm very proud to say...

She's the girl that makes the thing that drills the hole
that holds the spring that drives the rod that turns the knob
that works the thing-ummy-bob
She's the girl that makes the thing that holds the oil
that oils the ring that takes the shank that moves the crank
that works the thing-ummy-bob

It's a ticklish sort of job making a thing for a thing-ummy-bob
Especially when you don't know what it's for
But it's the girl that makes the thing that drills the hole
that holds the spring that works the thing-ummy-bob
that makes the engines roar
And it's the girl that makes the thing that holds the oil
that oils the ring that works the thing-ummy-bob
that's going to win the war

She's not what you would call, a heroine, at all
I don't suppose you'll even know her name
And though she'll never boast, of her important post
She strikes a blow for Britain just the same

She's the girl that makes the thing that drills the hole
that holds the spring that drives the rod that turns the knob
that works the thing-ummy-bob
She's the girl that makes the thing that holds the oil
that oils the ring that takes the shank that moves the crank
that works the thing-ummy-bob

It's a ticklish sort of job making a thing for a thing-ummy-bob
Especially when you don't know what it's for
But it's the girl that makes the thing that drills the hole
that holds the spring that works the thing-ummy-bob
that makes the engines roar
And it's the girl that makes the thing that holds the oil
that oils the ring that works the thing-ummy-bob
that's going to win the war

Come on little angel won´t you dance with me
Well at last I know you know it was plain to see
We did the Mashed Potato and it sure was fun
Now ev´rybody wants to see the way it was done, now
Come on little angel hear the band playing loud
Turn around see them forming a crowd
And now, little angel, now that you´re in the groove
You hear them all a-clapping as we both start to move
Now, come on, come on little angel, come on
Come on little angel, come on
Come on little angel, come on, come on

Come on little angel now the lights are down low
It´s really getting late and we have to go
Well thank you little angel for that wonderful kiss
And now you´re gonna tell me that you´re doing the Twist
Around and around and up and down
Around and around and up and down
Around and around and up and down
Around and around and up and down
Yes, little angel, it sure is fun
Ev´ry time we´re dancin´ she´s a-right on time
She moves to the left, she moves to the right
She feels the beat and she dances all the night

Why don´t you come on little angel now the lights are down low
It´s really getting late and now we have to go
Well thank you little angel for that wonderful kiss
And now you´re gonna tell me that you´re doing the Twist

Around and around and up and down

River Man


River Man
Composer(s): Nick Drake
Performer(s): Nick Drake;
and various other artists



Betty came by on her way
Said she had a word to say
About things today
And fallen leaves

Said she hadn't heard the news
Hadn't had the time to choose
A way to lose
But she believes

Going to see the river man
Going to tell him all I can
About the plan
For lilac time

If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows
And all night shows
In summertime

Betty said she prayed today
For the sky to blow away
Or maybe stay
She wasn't sure

For when she thought of summer rain
Calling for her mind again
She lost the pain
And stayed for more

Going to see the river man
Going to tell him all I can
About the ban
On feeling free

If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows
I don't suppose
It's meant for me

Oh, how they come and go
Oh, how they come and go
