(I'm Just A) Redneck In A Rock & Roll Bar
(I'm Just A) Redneck In A Rock & Roll Bar
Composer(s): Bill Anthony; Bob Morrison
Performer(s): Jerry Reed
Instrumental Intro
Well hello, Boogie Palace
I'm sittin' here alone
Listening to the music
Of electric saxophones
Now, there ain't no sexy dresses
And there ain't no beehive hair
Just boys who look like girls
Who look like boys, who look like Cher
I'm just a redneck
In a Rock 'n' Roll bar
I miss the fiddle
And a steel guitar
They're starin' at me
Like a bug in a jar
I'm just a redneck
In a Rock 'n' Roll bar
I stopped in here to have a beer
To ask some gal to dance
But, I been waitin' patient now
And I ain't had the chance
'Cause they ain't played any walzes
Nothing like a Texas swing
And with no belly rubbin' music
How in the hell can I do my thing?
I'm just a redneck
In a Rock 'n' Roll bar
I miss the fiddle
And a steel guitar
They're starin' at me
Like a bug in a jar
I'm just a redneck
In a Rock 'n' Roll bar
Well goodbye, Boogie Palace
I'm a gettin' outta here
Back to Country music
And back to Lone Star beer
Where the women look like women
And they dress so you can tell
And the men are good ol' boys
Just drinkin' beer and raisin' hell
I'm just a redneck
In a Rock 'n' Roll bar
I miss the fiddle
And a steel guitar
They're starin' at me
Like a bug in a jar
I'm just a redneck
In a Rock 'n' Roll bar
[Fade to End]
I'm just a redneck
In a Rock 'n' Roll bar
I miss the fiddle
And a steel guitar
They're starin' at me
Like a bug in a jar
I'm just a redneck
In a Rock 'n' Roll bar

Three Time Loser (David Allan Coe)
Three Time Loser
Composer(s): David Allan Coe
Performer(s): David Allan Coe
Once I tried my hand at stealing
Trying to fill that empty feeling
Trying hard to keep from dealing drugs
I was much to young to take it
Back when it was hard to make it
On the run with a gun or with a gang of thugs
Three time loser, it's all behind me now
Twice I fell in love and married
Thinking that the past was buried
Funny how those women carried on
Swearing that our love was dying
Like the weeping willow crying
Through the night and every fight
Until our love was gone
Freedom lost and love gone sour
Losing minutes by the hour
Too afraid to let my sorrow show
Dying slow from too much drinking
Quitting when I started sinking
To the bottom of the bottle that's too far to go

Three time loser
Three time loser

Crystal Balls
Composer(s): Neil Innes
Performer(s): Neil Innes
I got m'hand up the skirt of Mother Nature
I got m'foot in the door of liberty
I got m'head stuck in the railings of reason
Thank God for the banjo on m'knee
Crystal balls (balls!)
To fortune tellers
Reveal a swarm
of what-will-bees (zoom zoom zoom zoom)
All in all (all in all)
Like clocks and watches (Bong - Cuckoo!)
We got time on our hands and destinies
I've heard the squeal of tyres around a corner
I've broken down and I've been towed
I've seen everything I ever hoped and dreamed for
Squashed like a hedgehog in the road
Crystal balls (balls!)
To fortune tellers
Reveal a swarm
of what-will-bees (zoom zoom zoom zoom)
All in all (all in all)
Like clocks and watches (Bong Cuckoo!)
We got time on our hands and destinies
Just give me wide open spaces and clean living
As long as I've a banjo to pluck
I'll sing to the cactus and coyotes
Hippity-hi, hippity-ho, que serarrr!
Crystal balls (balls!)
To fortune tellers
Reveal a swarm
of what-will-bees (zoom zoom zoom zoom)
All in all (all in all)
Like clocks and watches (Bong - Cuckoo!)
We got time on our hands and destinies
(bum bum bum bum)
Crystal balls (balls!)
To fortune tellers
Reveal a swarm
of what-will-bees (zoom zoom zoom zoom)
All in all (all in all)
Like clocks and watches (Bong - Cuckoo!)
We got time on our hands and destinies

Performer(s): Spike Jones & his City Slickers
I'm forever blowing bubble gum
bubble gum, bubble gum
Every time I blow my bubble gum
Pop! goes my bubble gum
When I blow a bubble, how I puff
how I huff, huff and puff
When I huff and puff and huff enough
Pop! goes my bubble gum
When I chew, chew, chew and blow, blow, blow
Mom says I'm a disgrace
When I chew, chew, chew and blow, blow, blow
Bubbles bust all over my face
I'm forever blowing bubble gum
Till I'm numb, till I'm dumb
Every time I blow my bubble gum
Pop! goes my bubble gum
Mother. Bubble gum?
Daddy. Bubble gum?
Brother. Bubble gum?

Grandma. Bubble gum?
Linda. Bubble gum?
Grandpa. Bubble gum?

I don't know just where I'm gonna go
But I'm gonna make me some money
And I'm gonna buy me a whole lot of bubble gum to blow
Uncle Spike, won't you please give me some bubble gum?
Why sure, George, here is some bubble gum
Oh, boy, uncle Spike, bubble gum! Ohh
(Sound effects – bubble being blown and bursting followed by various crashes)
Oh ho, ho, Oh! Jeepers!

First release by: Eddie Cochran - 1960
Covered by multiple other artists
Now there are three steps to heaven
Just listen and you will plainly see
And as I travel on and things go wrong
Just call it steps one, two and three
The formula for heaven's very simple
Just follow the rules and you will see
And as I travel on and things go wrong
Just call it steps one, two and three
Step one, you find a girl to love
Step two, She falls in love with you
Step three, you kiss and hold her tightly
Yeah! that sure seems like heaven to me

Crystal Ball (Styx)
Crystal Ball
Composer(s): Tommy Shaw
Performer(s): Styx
I used to like to walk the straight and narrow line
I used to think that everything was fine
Sometimes I'd like to sit and gaze for days through sleepless dreams
All alone and trapped in time
All alone and trapped in time
I wonder what tomorrow has in mind for me
Or am I even in it's mind at all
Perhaps I'll get a chance to look ahead and see
Soon as I find myself a crystal ball
Soon as I find myself a crystal ball
Tell me, tell me where I'm going
I don't know where I've been
Tell me, tell me, won't you tell me
And then tell me again
My heart is breaking, my body's aching
And I don't know where to go
Tell me, tell me, won't you tell me
I've just got to know
Crystal ball
There's so many things I need to know
Crystal ball
There's so many things I've got to know
Crystal ball
If you should see me walking
Through your dreams at night
Would you please direct me
Where I ought to be
I've been looking for a crystal ball
To shed the light
To find a future in me...
To find a future in me...
Crystal ball
There's so many things I need to know
Crystal ball
There's so many things I've got to know
Crystal ball

(I'm Afraid) The Masquerade Is Over
(I'm Afraid) The Masquerade Is Over ((aka The Masquerade Is Over (Ambrose & His Orch.) - 1939))
Composer(s): Herb Magidson - Allie Wruble
Performer(s): Milt Jackson - 1958
and multiple other artists
My blue horizon is turning grey
And my dreams are drifting away
Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
Your words don't mean what they used to mean
They were once inspired, now they're just routine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
And get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci
With tears in my eyes
You look the same, you're a lot the same
But my heart says "no, no, you're not the same"
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
And get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci
With tears in my eyes
You look the same, you're a lot the same
But my heart says "No, no, you're not the same"
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love

((Adapted from: Three Steps To Heaven (Eddie Cochran) - 1960))
Composer(s): Eddie Cochran - Bob Cochran - Eddy Mitchell
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1964
J'irai avec elle au paradis, l'amour est plus fort que la vie
On dit que là-haut les hommes sont égaux
Et l'amour au Ciel n'a pas de prix
Si Dieu le veut, j'irai au paradis, l'Éternité sera mon amie
Si le Dieu le veut, je partirai sans un bruit
Et mon âme reposera au paradis
J'irai avec elle au paradis, les anges seront nos amis
Le soleil brillera pour toi et moi, notre amour survivra au paradis
Sur Terre, la vie souvent n'est que misère
Sur Terre, les hommes ont des cœurs de pierre
Au Ciel, le repos est éternel, le vrai bonheur est ici au paradis
Oui, j'irai avec elle au paradis

Crystal
Crystal
Composer(s): Lindsay Buckingham - Stevie Nicks
Performer(s): Stevie Nicks
Do you always trust your first initial feeling
Special knowledge holds truth bears believing
I turned around
And the water was closing all around
Like a glove
Like the love that had finally, finally found me
Then I knew
In the crystalline knowledge of you
Drove me thru the mountains
Thru the crystal-like clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet
To the sea
How the faces of love have changed turning the pages
And I have changed oh, but you... you remain ageless
I turned around
And the water was closing all around
Like a glove
Like the love that had finally, finally found me
Then I knew
In the crystalline knowledge of you
Drove me thru the mountains
Thru the crystal-like clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet
To the sea

Performer(s): Junior Walker & The All-Stars;
and various other artists
Money, who needs it
Let me live my life free and easy
Put my toothbrush in my hand
And let me be a travelin' man
Cause I'm a road runner, baby
I'm a road runner, baby
Can't stay in one place too long
I'm a road runner baby
You might look at me and I'll be gone
You can love me if you wanna
But I do declare
When I get restless
I got to move somewhere
I'm a road runner baby
Anywhere's my home
And love the life I live
And I'm gonna live the life I love
Road runner, baby
Don't want no woman to tie me down
Got to be free, baby
To roam around
All my life I've been like this
If you love me it's your own risk
When the dust hit my shoe
I got the urge to move
Says I'm a road runner baby
Got to keep on keepin' on
And I live the life I love
And I'm gonna love the life I live
Road runner, baby

Three Stars Will Shine Tonight
Three Stars Will Shine Tonight
Composer(s): Hal Winn - Jerrald Goldsmith - Pete Rugolo
Performer(s): Richard Chamberlain
Three stars will shine tonight
One for the lonely
That star will shine its light
Each time that someone sighs
Three stars for all to see
One for young lovers
That star was made to be
The sparkle in their eyes
And for the third star
Only one reason
A star you can wish on
To make dreams come true
High in the sky above
Three stars are shining
I hope that star of love
Will shine down on you
Three stars will shine tonight
One for the lonely
That star will shine its light
Each time that someone sighs

Three Ring Circus
Three Ring Circus
Composer(s): Bobby Eli - Vinnie Barrett
Performer(s): Blue Magic; Barry Biggs
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls
Children of all ages
Welcome to the big top
See the ferocious lions
Thrill to the fabulous monkeys
Laugh along with the hilarious clowns
See them, life is a three ring circus
The whistle blows as he makes his rounds
He's seen every town west of Mississippi
He's just a face painted all in smiles
Jumpin' up and down and makin' people happy
Though deep inside a shadow grows
He could laugh and no one knows
There's a lonely man inside
Life is a three ring circus
All of the ups and downs of a carousel
That I know so well
Life is a three ring circus
Just one little ride on a merry-go-round
Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round
He does the best like the minstrel did
Just to please the kids and keep the people laughing
But no one knows that beneath the clothes
And his turned up nose lies a lonely beggar
He needs the love he spreads around
Bu tin life he's just a clown
Till they bring the curtain down
Life is a three ring circus
All of the ups and downs of a carousel
That I know so well
Life is a three ring circus
Just one little ride on a merry-go-round
Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round
He needs the love that can't be found
But you're just too blind to see
That the clown is really needy
Life is a three ring circus
All of the ups and downs of a carousel
That I know so well
Life is a three ring circus
Just one little ride on a merry-go-round
Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round
Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round
Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round
Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round
Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round
Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round
Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round
