Johnny Will
Johnny Will
Composer(s): Frederick K. Tobias; Paul Evans
Performer(s): Pat Boone; Paul Evans
I gotta get some money and get it right away
Because my baby she gave me the word today
She's tired of sittin' home each night, she says she's had her fill
And if I don't take her to the dance next week, Johnny will
I checked and found they're sellin' tickets at five bucks each
And all that kinda money ain't within my reach
But if I wanna be the guy who is her only thrill
I'd better take her to the dance next week or Johnny will
Oh, that Johnny, that no-good Johnny
He's been tryin' to steal my lovin' baby away
Sends her candy, sends her flowers
And I never saw her smile the way she smiled at him today
I tried to borrow it from my friends, but they said "no"
Still somehow, some way I just gotta get that dough
My future happiness depends on one ten-dollar bill
'Cos if I don't take her to the dance next week, Johnny will, Johnny will
Oh, that Johnny, that no-good Johnny
He's been tryin' to steal my lovin' baby away
Sends her candy, sends her flowers
And I never saw her smile the way she smiled at him today
I tried to borrow it from my friends but they said "no"
Still somehow, some way I just gotta get that dough
My future happiness depends on one ten-dollar bill
'Cos if I don't take her to the dance next week, Johnny will, Johnny will
Oh that Johnny, Johnny will, Johnny will…....

Covered by multiple other artists
Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream
It is not dying
It is not dying
Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
It is shining, oh it is shining
That you may see the meaning of within
It is beginning, oh it is beginning
That love is all and love is everyone
It is knowing, oh it is knowing
And ignorance and hate may mourn the dead
It is believing, oh it is believing
So play the game, existence to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning...

I got you to wear my ring
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared, you're always around
Don't let them say your hair's too long
'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
Then put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb
Babe

I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me

I got you to love me so

Johnny The Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed
Johnny The Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed
Composer(s): Brian Downey;
Scott Gorham; Phil Lynott
Performer(s): Thin Lizzy; Mordred
Johnny the Fox he called to Jimmy the Weed
He said "Hey man, I know your name"
I seen you cruising with the low riders
Hanging out down on First street and Main
Tuned into and listen to the Hoodoo Rhythm Devils
Around the Bay
They've got some crazy DJs
Send you right out to heaven
Jimmy the Weed for greed was taken aback
Johnny the Fox you old sly cat
Cleverly the Fox concealed his stash
Crisp dollar bills leave no tracks
In the back of a black cadillac
The voodoo music travels
Down Skid Row only black men can go
The shady deal unravels
Johnny the Fox, hot to hustle
Jimmy the Weed won't use no muscle
that cat's so sly, slick and subtle
Johnny the Fox breaks out the bottle
Tuned into and listening to
The voodoo music travels
The beating drum for the lonely one
Sends you out to heaven

Tomorrow Mountain
Tomorrow Mountain
Composer(s): Duke Ellington - John Latouche
Performer(s): Lena Horne
and multiple other artists
Just across Tomorrow Mountain
There’s a happy city, they say
Where the people are grand and time is planned
So it’s Christmas every day
‘Neath the scotch and soda fountain
There’s a treat in store for us guys
Under cigarette trees, we’ll take our ease
While the cops fan off the flies
There you will be a lucky sinner
With no conscience for your guide
Each horse you pick will be a winner
And the doors of every bank are open wide
For across Tomorrow Mountain
There’s a life that‘s fancy and free
On a platinum street we’ll plant our feet
It’s the land that’s fair to see
Won’t you hurry there with me?
Just across Tomorrow Mountain
Every girl is Queen of the May
And the kitchens, I’m told
Are lined with gold
And there ain’t no bills to pay
Can’t you cross that distant mountain
Where it rains Chanel No.5?
And the gutters, I think, are paved with mink
And the diamond bushes thrive
Pigs trot around already roasted
Won’t you have a slice of ham?
Marshmallows bloom, already toasted
And the clouds are made of marmalade and jam
Can’t you see Tomorrow Mountain?
Can’t you watch it glimmer and glow?
It’s a wonderful town that’s upside-down
And it’s full of easy dough
Won’t you pack your bag and go?Just across Tomorrow Mountain

Tomorrow Morning
Composer(s): Mitchell Parish - Eleanor Young - Harry D. Squires
Won't you take a look at me
I'm as nervous as can be
Can't you see that I'm waiting so impatiently
For the morning to appear
Every minute seems a year
till I place the band upon the hand of my little sweetie dear
How the hours seem to crawl
Haven't slept a wink at all
Can't you see that I'm waiting for the rooster's call
In a little while or so, 'Round the corner I will go
where I'll place the band upon the hand of the sweetest girl I know
Tomorrow morning, I'll be wearing a smile
Tomorrow morning, as I march down the aisle
I'll have the cutest bunch of charm hanging on my arm
You just wait'll you see my sweetie and me, what a happy pair we'll be
when it's all over, hand in hand we will roam
thru' fields of clover, to Home Sweet Home
I just can't wait until the sunrise begins to rise
tomorrow morning, I'll be in paradise

I Got You
Composer(s): Jan Hammer; Colin Hodgkinson
Performer(s): Jan Hammer
I got you
In the darkest night, when you touch me it’s light
I see you
In the strangest place, like when I’m shaving my face
You got me
In the palm of your hand, but you know, I’m a man
You take me
Into the future and into the past
And no one
Would dare to say that we don’t have it all today
But I wanna make it
Longer-wider-stronger-louder
Deeper-higher-and burning-like fire
You got it
Never run with the crowd, never say it out loud
You see it
In the darkest night, when I touch you it’s light
And no one
Would dare to say that we don’t have it all today
But I wanna make it
Longer-wider-stronger-louder
Deeper-higher-and burning, like fire

Johnny Rider
Composer(s): S. Bernet; J.M. Deuterre; M. Mallory
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Des motos et des hommes
Et la Californie
Je roule en tête
Et la bande me suit
Vers les villes fantômes
La vallée de la mort
Et le désert de l'or
Des shériffs de campagne
Nous regardent passer
On dirait des montagnes
Aux nerfs d'acier
Et leurs mains les démangent
De se faire un carton
Ou de me mettre en prison
Et d'attraper Johnny Rider
Et de boucler Johnny Rider
Oui mais voilà, Johnny Rider, c'est moi
Comme un ange venu de l'enfer
Un fou chevauchant dans un bruit
De tonnerre
Ils ont peur de Johnny Rider
Ils voudraient bien Johnny Rider
Oui mais voilà, Johnny Rider, c'est moi
Comme un ange venu de l'enfer
Un fou chevauchant dans un bruit
De tonnerre
Buvant des bières en boîte
Mangeant des hamburgers
Le soir on s'endort à même la terre
Les indiens nous insultent
Et nous jettent des pierres
Pour mieux cacher leur misère
Des paysans hostiles
A nos cheveux trop longs
Nous tiraient dessus en criant mon nom
Car une de leurs filles
A voulu s'évader
Et avec moi s'en est allé
Car elle voulait Johnny Rider
Oui, elle aimait Johnny Rider
Oui mais voilà, Johnny Rider, c'est moi
Comme un ange venu de l'enfer
Un fou chevauchant dans un bruit
De tonnerre

Als vandaag niet een eindeloze weg was
en vannacht een zee van maneschijn
als morgen niet eindeloos ver weg was
zou de eenzaamheid wellicht te dragen zijn
en alleen maar als mijn lief op mij zou wachten
en ik weer zacht haar hart kon horen slaan
zoals zij naast mij neerlag in de nachten
alleen dan zou ik huiswaarts gaan
een vreemd gezicht weerspiegelt in het water
waar een vreemde stem geen woord spreekt van verdriet herken ik evenmin de echo van mijn voetstap
en herinner mij de klank van mijn naam niet
en alleen maar als mijn lief op mij zou wachten
en ik weer zacht haar hart kon horen slaan
zoals zij naast mij neerlag in de nachten
alleen dan zou ik huiswaarts gaan
er is schoonheid in het zilverstromend water
in de gouden stralen van de morgenstond
maar niets ter wereld heeft mij ooit meer bewogen
dan de schoonheid die ik in haar ogen vond
en alleen maar als mijn lief op mij zou wachten
en ik weer zacht haar hart kon horen slaan
zoals zij naast mij neerlag in de nachten
alleen dan zou ik huiswaarts gaan
ja alleen maar als zij daar op mij zou wachten
en ik weer zacht haar hart kon horen slaan
zoals zij naast mij neerlag in de nachten
alleen dan zou ik weer huiswaarts gaan

If today was not an endless highway
If tonight was not a crooked trail
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Only if she was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again
I can't see my reflection in the waters
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
Or can't remember the sound of my own name
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Only if she was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again
There's beauty in the silver, singin' river
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
That I remember in my true love's eyes
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Only if she was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again

When the mist's a rising
And the rain is falling
And the wind is blowing cold across the moor
I hear the voice of my darling
The girl I loved and lost a year ago

But I hear her singing in the sighing of the wind
Blowin' in the tree tops way above me

Till the day I die
I'll hear her cry

To take the place of my true love

Om idag inte var en ändlös landsväg
och i natt en vild och krokig stig
om i morgon inte kändes så oändlig
Då är ensamhet ett ord som inte finns
Men bara om min älskade väntar
och om jag hör hennes hjärta sakta slå...
Bara om hon låg här tätt intill mig
kan jag bli den jag var igår
Jag kan inte se min spegelbild i vattnet
Jag kan inte säga sorgelösa ord
Jag hör inte mitt eko slå mot gatan
Kan inte minnas vem jag var igår
Men bara om min älskade väntar...
Det finns skönhet i flodens silversånger
Det finns skönhet i gryningssolens sken
Men då ser jag i min älskades ögö
en skönhet större än allting som jag vet!
Och bara om jag vet att hon väntar
och om jag hör hennes hjärta sakta slå
Bara om hon låg tätt intill mig
kan jag bli den jag var igår
