There's a Guy in this old town
I'm tellin' you a fact
He measures five feet up and down
And five feet front and back
He's a Roly Poly Baby
Pleasin' as they come
He's a Roly Poly Baby
A Ton of Fun
They call him
Ya Ya Roly Poly
Ya Ya Roly Poly
Ya Ya Roly Poly
Ya Ya Roly Poly
Ya Ya Roly

When I first laid eyes on him
I laughed just like the rest
The more I saw the more of him
The more I liked him best
Got a Roly Poly Baby
Point to him with pride
He's my Roly Poly Baby
I'm satisfied
I call him
Ya Ya Roly Poly
Ya Ya Roly Poly
Ya Ya Roly Poly
Ya Ya Roly Poly
Ya Ya Roly

Ya Ya Roly Poly
Just to put my arms around him
Takes about a week
But when I get my arms around
We cuddle cheek to cheek
Got a Roly Poly Baby
Sweet as Apple Pie
He is just a Roly Poly
But so am I
I call him

The Widow Of Westmorland's Daughter
The Widow Of Westmorland's Daughter
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Fairport Convention
and multiple other artists
There was an old widow in Westmorland who had no daughter but one
And she has prayed both night and day she should keep her maidenhead long
"Ah, don't be daft, mother," she said, "and say no more to me
For a fine young man in the Grenadier Guards my maidenhead's taken from me"
"You saucy cat, you impudent cat, a-cursed may you be
If some idle rogue in the Grenadier Guards your maidenhead's taken from thee"
But the girlie's off to the Grenadier Guards as fast as go can she
Saying "Give me back my maidenhead, my mother she nags at me"
So he kissed her and undressed her and he laid her on the bed
And he put her head where her feet were before and gave back her maidenhead
Then he kissed her and he dressed her with a rose in either hand
Invited her round to St. Mary's church to see his fine wedding
Oh, the girlie's off to her mammy's house as fast as go can she
"I'm as full a maiden, mammy dear, as the day you first bore me
He kissed me and undressed me and he laid me on the bed
Put my head where my feet were before and he gave back my maidenhead
Then he kissed me and he dressed me, put a rose in either hand and
Invited me round to St. Mary's church to see his fine wedding
"Ah, never on foot," her mammy she said, "in a carriage and pair you'll ride
With four and twenty fine young girls to go with you beside"
"Ah, who is this?" the bride she said, "She comes so high to me"
"I see it is the widow's daughter who ran home and told her mammy"
"How could she do it, how would she do it, how could she do it for shame?
Eleven long nights I lay with a man and I never told anyone"
"If eleven long nights you lay with a man, you never shall lie with me
I'd rather marry the widow's daughter who ran home and told her mammy"

Comment Te Dire?
Comment Te Dire?
Composer(s): Pace; Thomas; Rivat; Panzeri; Livraghi
Performer(s): Joe Dassin
Quand s'en va le dernier soleil d'automne
Il vient chauffer encore les feuilles mortes
Sur les derniers colchiques il s'abandonne
Avant que les froids de Novembre ne l'emporte
Toi, si tu veux comprendre la tendresse
Donne-toi comme lui, donne-toi
Mais comment te dire
Mais comment t'apprendre
L'amour sans amour n'est plus rien
Laisse-toi conduire
Et cherche à comprendre
Et reviens me tendre la main
{2x}
Vas regarder comment la terre aride
S'ouvre pour embrasser les grandes pluies d'été
Et quand tu l'auras vu, tu seras riche
Alors tu reviendras me chercher
Mais comment te dire
Mais comment t'apprendre
L'amour sans amour n'est plus rien
Laisse-toi conduire
Et cherche à comprendre
Et reviens me tendre la main
{3x}

Comment T'appelles-Tu?
Comment T'appelles-Tu?
Composer(s): Nicolas Peyrac
Performer(s): Nicolas Peyrac
Elle écrase sa cigarette
Et recouche sa poupée, n'a plus peur
De ces quelques mots d'amour
Qui me venaient du fond du coeur
Et la fumée monte en moi comme un petit matin
Où le soleil reviendrait
Nous parler d'éternité
Elle caresse les fleurs
Amoureuse de la vie, elle s'en va
Apprivoiser les renards
Qui dorment seuls dans les sous-bois
Et son parfum monte en moi comme un vieux souvenir
Qui s'accroche à la mémoire
Et empêche de vieillir
Mais comment t'appelles-tu
Je ne me rappelle plus
Entre la tendresse et la mort
Je perds le nord
N'avais-tu pas disparu?
Je ne t'avais pas revue
Je n'avais que mes remords
Pour vivre encore
Elle me recueille des yeux
Là tout au creux de sa main
Et je pars, me poser sur son visage
La mort est douce au fond des pleurs
Et j'irais lui chercher la lune
Pour veiller son sommeil
Et je crois bien que je l'aime
Que c'est bon la vérité
Mais comment t'appelles-tu
Je ne me rappelle plus
Entre la tendresse et la mort
Je perds le nord
N'avais-tu pas disparu?
Je ne t'avais pas revue
Je n'avais que mes remords
Pour vivre encore
Elle écrase sa cigarette
Ne se souvient plus très bien qu'il pleuvait
Me caresse le visage,
Me dit j'ai peur quand tu t'en vas
Puis elle parle au soleil, et c'est le sable chaud
Et je crois bien que je l'aime
Mais à quoi servent les mots?
Dis comment t'appelles-tu
Je ne me rappelle plus
Entre la tendresse et la mort
Je perds le nord
Ne disparais jamais plus
Je crois t'avoir reconnue
Et puis je crois que tu m'aimes
Et moi, je n'aimerai plus

Rollin' Round The World
Rollin' Round The World
Composer(s): Saunders; Scott
Performer(s): The Square Pegs; Billy Cotton
Rolling round the world
Looking for the sunshine
That never seems to come my way
Rolling round the world
Where every little milestone
Seems to look at me and say
“Bye bye, rainy days, bye bye snow,
Got no time to waste, I must go
Rolling round the world
Looking for the sunshine
I know I’m gonna find someday”
Rolling round the world
Looking for the sunshine
That never seems to come my way

“Bye bye, rainy days, bye bye snow,
Got no time to waste, I must go
Rolling round the world
Looking for the sunshine
I know I’m gonna find someday”
Rolling round the world
Looking for the sunshine
That never seems to come my way

Where every little milestone
Seems to look at me and say

Looking for the sunshine
I know I’m gonna find someday”

The White Trash Song
The White Trash Song
Composer(s): Steve Young
Performer(s): Steve Young; Tom Russell Band
I wake up every morning
About the break of dawn
Hear the rooster crowing
Feel all alone
There's honeysuckle outside my window
Dew sparkling on the vine...
Little squirrels barking
Like they thought they was a mountain lion...
I get to thinking about the road
And all the times I come back again
I was born a child to these muddy roads
Die here lonesome as the wind...
Cause all cars they're broke down
Laying in my front yard
I ought to get one together
But the work just seems so hard
But a man come by this morning
He wanted to paint my barn
He painted
"See Rock City - US Highway 41"
I used to have a church woman
Pretty as she could be
But she run off with old Jimmy Swaggart (or: a TV preacher)
Up in Nashville, Tn
So I drink a lot of liquor
I drink a lot of booze
I'm a midnight country rambler
I ain't got nothing to lose
So when you carve my tombstone honey
Don't worry about no name
Just say he come with a Georgia wind
And left with the (or: a) morning rain
But he could play a fiddle
Make a dobro ring
Make a guitar sparkle
Like that early morning rain
Yeah, a man came by here today
He wanted to paint my barn
He painted
"See rock City - Us Highway 41"

The White Knight
The White Knight
Composer(s): Jay Huguely
Performer(s): Cletus Maggard & The Citizens Band
Down on Seventy-Five or Ninety-Five or I-Twenty t'other way
Turn your squelch to the right and in the night
you'll hear some cotton-picker say
"Breaker breaker, got a picture-taker, ol' Smokey's at forty-three!"
It's that Japanese toy, the trucker's joy that everybody calls CB
Yeah, Citizens Band
Keeps you up to date with the fender-benders and the Tijuana taxis
and all them bears out there a-flip-floppin'
Now ahead o' your children and ahead o' your wife
on the list of the ten best things in life
Your CB's gotta rate right around number four
'Course, beavers 'n hot biscuits 'n Merle Haggard come one-two-three, you know
Well I was loaded down comin' outta Lake City
checkin' out seat covers all young and pretty
My wife was right and I settled for the night
that ol' concrete boulevard a-feelin' right
My ol' buddy in the back was a-gettin' some sack
I was gonna bring it on to Macon 'fore I climbed in the back
Yeah, I had all my eight-tracks by my side from Dolly Parton to Charley Pride
My stereo a-rattlin' on the dash with Johnny Cash and all that good trash
Yeah, culture with a side order of ritz!
When all of a sudden there come a squall over my CB ringin' wall to wall
Said "Go to double nickels as you hit the ridge
'Cause there's a smokey picture-taker t'other side o' the bridge!"
"Oh, mercy! 'Preciate that, good buddy
Uh, what's your handle there, come on? Come on?"
Mm-hmm...
Well they was nary a sound, and I was bound to think he done switched over to four
When wall to wall there come a call in a voice you couldn't ignoure
And he said
"Ten-four, back door
Put the pedal to the metal and let it roar
Hammer down to Macon Town, gonna see my mama, sure
Well the Bears are gone, let's bring it on, the Georgia line's way outta sight
Pulled outta Richmond Town last Saturday night, and my handle is the Whight Knight
How 'bout it?"
"Hey ol' buddy, I'm the Mean Machine. What's your twenty and what's your eighteen?
Grease it up and shoout me some more
'Cause I sure believe you're my front door! Come on?"
"Ten-four, back door
Put the pedal to the metal and let it roar
Hammer down to Macon Town, gonna see my mama, sure
Well a GMC my eighteen be, and the last mile marker was a fifty-three
Pulled outta Richmond Town last Saturday night, and my handle is the Whight Knight
How 'bout it?"
"All right, White Knight, hammer down!"
Well there I was a-streakin', my needle was a-peakin' right around seventy-nine
That ol' diesel juice was a-gettin' loose and everything was fine!
Oh yeah! Sing, Dolly! Sing, Loretta! Sing it, darlin's! Mm-hmm
When wall to wall, I got a call from a front door big bear trapper
He said, "Break one-nine, good buddy o' mine
you got a smokey in a plain white wrapper!"
Well I jammed my stick and lost twenty quick, you could hear them gears a-tearin'
I was passed by a beaver in a Camaro, and I was cruisin' along a-goin' so slow
I could count every button on that frilly blouse she was a-wearin'
'Course, they weren't but one
"Hey there, Super Trooper"
Yeah, that's that crafty smokey over there with a CB o' his very own
"Who, me? Noooooo, Smokey! Got grapefruit comin from F-L-A
Can't shake them up, boy
Nooo, goin' double nickels all the way!
Hey, White Knight! Hey, front door
Let's slide one off o' Super Trooper here and show him what's happenin' up there
Come on?"
And he said,
"Ten-four, back door
Put the pedal to the metal and let it roar
Hammer down to Macon Town, gonna see my mama, sure
Well the bears are gone, let's bring it on, the Georgia line's way outta sight
Gotta get to Macon 'fore the middle o' the night and my handle is the Whight Knight
How 'bout it?"
Well I hammered down 'cause I figured that clown knew more about it than me
I was puttin' it to it, and before I knew it I was doin' 'round eighty-three
When I got a call just got my gall
White Knight was a-talkin' to me, and he said
"Ten-four, back door
Put the pedal to the metal, what'cha waitin' for?
If that ol' white can't stay in sight, gonna leave you here 'n say no more
How 'bout it?"
"Whoooa now, ol' buddy, that's fightin' talk!
Now say things about my wife or my religion
but don't go gettin' nasty 'bout my rig now!
I'll come up there 'n blow your doors off!"
Sing that mad tune there, Buck!
Well I hammered down like I had wings
little gravels in my wheels goin' ping-ping-ping
I was hittin' ninety with a might heavy load
blew a Greyhound Bus clean off o' the road
'Bout the time I hit ninety-two I saw somethin' flashin' in my rear view
Thoght to myself, "That can't be true," but there it was a-goin' blue-blue-blue!
Uh-oh... Bubble gum machine done hit the jackpot!
That's what it was, big ol' redneck whip right there on Smokey's car
goin' twangy-twangy-twangy-twangy
Play me a sad song there, Johnny
Well I could see that bear a-laughin' big
Just a-hangin' in tight on the back o' my rig
When all of a sudden it come to me wall to wall
So in that cold dark Georgia night in the shadow o' Smokey Bear's blue light
I decided to make just one more CB call...
"Break one-nine for the Super Trooper
Hey there, Super Trooper, tell me if I'm right
Are you my front door?
Are you the White Knight? Come on?"
And he said
"Ten-four, back door
You in a heap o' trouble, boy, fer sure
Gonna read you your rights and treat you fair
just pull over there with yer rockin' chair
Want you boys to know each other real well
'Cause you gonna be sharin' the same jail cell
You make twelve cotton-pickers I've caught tonight
Runnin' front door as that White Knight! [snicker]
How 'bout it? [snicker]
Forty miles over the speed limit; you boys gon' be here a while!" [snicker]
That's it, cotton-pickers, I've done been grounded
My tail in jail and my rig impounded
Called the boss for bond in Big A Town; he said
"You got in there, you get out, clown!
You lookin' for more than a bond, boy, you ain't got no job!"
I said, "Well boss, it's been nice doin' business with you
Just keep it between the ditches
Sevens, threes, 'n all them good numbers to you
'n boss, if you would do me one favor
I... I wonder if you'd call my wife and tell I her won't be there
Saturday to take the kids to no Little League nowhere now
Tell her maybe she'd better look into that job what she was offered, 'n
Tell her just go ahead and get my friend a leave of action to the VFW
"And boss, before my replacement takes this rig out
Tell him when he's travellin' through the dark Georgia night
Don't never get no fromt door called the White Knight!
No sir, 'n wind up in the pokey with Smokey?
Best thing you can do with that ol' thing is yank it out by the wires
I don't care if it is a Johnson
Sing me a sad tune there, Johnny
"Oh Lordy mercy! Where am I gonna get two hundred 'n fifty green
stamps to get outta this pokey?
Oh Lordy..."

Verstandig is het niet
Alleen een idioot denkt niet na
Maar ik kan er niets aan doen
Ik word verliefd op jou
Wat als ik blijf
Zou dat verkeerd zijn
Want ik kan er niets aan doen
Ik wordt verliefd op jou
Een rivier die stroomt
Altijd naar de zee
Liefste ga je mee
Dit had zo moeten zijn
Neem mijn hand
Mijn hele leven is voor jou
Want ik kan er niets aan doen
Ik word verliefd op jou
Want ik kan er niets aan doen
Ik word verliefd op jou...

The Whistling Song
The Whistling Song
Composer(s): A. Angers - B. Wicks
Performer(s): Billy Cotton & His Band
When she walks down the street
All the cops on the beat turn and whistle
(Wolf whistle)
When she rides in the row
All the boys shout out “Whoa” and they whistle
(Wolf Whistle)
Apart from the fact that it’s coarse
A whistle unsettles the horse
And an unsettled horse can result in a very sad end
My friend
When she travels by air
Pilots turn round and stare and they whistle
(Wolf whistle)
When she rides in a train
Porters do it again, they all whistle
(Wolf whistle)
Now she’s met a boy who can’t whistle at all
But he’s very handsome, he’s dark and he’s tall
He couldn’t care less about all of the rest
They can whistle
When she goes for a hike
Or a rid on a bike how they whistle
(Wolf whistle)
All the butchers and bakers
And candlestick makers all whistle
(Wolf Whistle)
She doesn’t consider it rude
You can’t call the lady a prude
So our local attraction
Gives some slight reaction
She’ll bow, and how.
When she goes to the movies
Or goes to a show how they whistle
(Wolf whistle)
When she puts on her coat
And is ready to go how they whistle
(Wolf whistle)
They whistled like mad when she went to a ball
She turned to the dark man who’s handsome and tall
And said “Aren’t they darlings, good luck to them all
They can whistle”
(Wolf whistle)

Comment Lui Dire
Comment Lui Dire
Performer(s): France Gall
Au beau milieu de la foule
D'un dimanche après-midi
Au beau milieu de la foule
Je le reconnais c'est lui
Au beau milieu de la foule
De ces gens qui me sourient
Parmi tous mes ennemis
Je le reconnais c'est lui
Comment lui dire, comment lui dire
Comment lui faire comprendre d'un sourire
Comment lui dire, comment lui dire
Au beau milieu de la foule
Du dimanche après-midi
Je me sens nerveuse pas kool
Je le reconnais, c'est lui
Au beau milieu de la foule
Des étrangers de ma vie
Je voudrais qu'il ait compris
Qu'il m'emmène loin d'ici
Comment lui dire, comment lui dire
Comment lui faire comprendre d'un sourire
Comment lui dire, comment lui dire
S'il peut m'attendre, s'il peut m'apprendre
S'il peut m'atteindre qu'il vienne à moi
S'il peut comprendre, s'il peut m'entendre
Et me rejoindre qu'il vienne à moi
Qu'il vienne à moi
Au beau milieu de la foule
Du dimanche après-midi
Au beau milieu de la foule
Qu'il m'emporte loin d'ici
Comment lui dire, comment lui dire
Comment lui faire comprendre d'un sourire
Comment lui dire,
Comment, comment,
Comment lui faire comprendre d'un sourire
Comment lui dire, comment lui dire
Comment lui faire comprendre d'un sourire

Rollin' And Tumblin'
Rollin' And Tumblin'
Composer(s): Morgan Robinson
Performer(s): Elmore James
I roll and I tumble, cried the whole night long
Yes I roll and I tumble, I cried the whole night long
I got up this morning, feeling that something going on wrong
Well now want you to love me baby, or please let me be
Yes love me baby, or please let me be
If you don't like my peaches please don't shake my tree
Well I want you to love me baby, and come on and say you'll be mine
I want you to love me baby, come and say you'll be mine
If you don't like my potatoes, please don't dig up my vine

The Whistler's Mother-In-Law
The Whistler's Mother-In-Law
Composer(s): Bert Stevens - Larry Wagner
Performer(s): Bing Crosby & Muriel Lane
(BC)
If you’re whistlin’ ‘cause you’re happy
Be very careful Pappy
No tellin’ what a whistler’s mother-in-law will do
Oh, the mammies around the kitchen
Attendin’ to her stitchin’
There’s many behind the door keepin’ an eye on you
She’s got a direct suspicion
You aim to do some fishin’
Your whistlin’, I declare, gave it away for sure
But I reckon you mighta’ known it
Might just as well postpone it
You ain’t gonna go newhere
‘sept on a lecture tour
(ML)
John, John, that’s what I’m a’callin’
Hurry up and haul that coal
John, John, I’m not only stallin’
This old lady’s up to som’thin’
Sure as you’re born
(BC)
As you listen to granny cackle,
She’s found your fishin’ tackle
A whistle for all your plans now for the good they’ll do
Look at granny, she’s got the flivver
She’s headin’ for the river
Well isn’t that like a man’s mother-in-law for you
(ML)
John, John, that’s what I’m a’callin’
Hurry up and haul that coal
(BC)
I hauled that yesterday
(ML)
John, John, I’m not only stallin’
This old lady’s up to som’thin’
Sure as you’re born
(BC)
As you listen to granny cackle
She’s found your fishin’ tackle
A whistle for all your plans now for the good they’ll do
Look at granny, she’s got the flivver
She’s headin’ for the river
Well isn’t that like a man’s mother-in-law for you

Comment L'oublier
Comment L'oublier
Titles In Other Languages: Helwa Ya Baladi; Yo Te Amo
Composer(s): G. Sinoué; J. Barnel; B. Liamis
Performer(s): Dalida
Il était fils de lumière comment l'oublier
Paysan né de la terre comment l'oublier
Depuis ce matin d'automne
Le fleuve immobile raisonne
D'un silence étrange désemparé
Oh, oh
Le vent a porté sa voix comment l'oublier
De Luxor à Sakarya comment l'oublier
Comment effacer le rêve Quand au ciel blesse s'élève
Le cri d'une colombe qui est tombée
Etait-ce un ange était ce un homme qui peut le dire
Mais il a marqué l'histoire de souvenirs
Là-bas au pied des pyramides sous le soleil
Il dort pareil aux pharaons
La vallée des rois m'a dit comment l'oublier
Il pleut sur Alexandrie comment l'oublier
Le ciel bleu n'a plus de flammes
Le sphinx a perdu ses larmes
D'avoir trop pleuré, bien trop pleuré
Même si parfois il a soulevé des orages
Comment être indifférent à son message
Car il n'avait qu'une seule idée
Faire de la terre avec ses frères
Une terre de paix
Oh, oh
Il était fils de lumière comment l'oublier
Paysan né de la terre comment l'oublier
Il a tracé une route que d'autres suivront sans doute
Pour que vive encore le grand espoir
Oh, oh, oh
Comment l'oublier
Comment l'oublier
Oh, oh, oh
