I Know What I Want


I Know What I Want
Composer(s): Rick Nielsen
Performer(s): Cheap Trick



I've been around the world and met a million girls
Still, I know I wanna be with you
You've got more than anyone else
And I want you more than anything

'cause I know what I want, and I know how to get it
I know what I want, and I know how to get it
I know what I want, and I know how to get it from you, from you

I knew I'd meet you, I had a dream about you
We were walkin' hand in hand
We were talkin' 'bout love
It was love at first sight
When I looked into your eyes
I was blinded by the feelings in my heart

'cause I know what I want, and I know how to get it
I know what I want, and I know how to get it
I know what I want, and I know how to get it from you, from you

I know, I know, I know, I know what I want!
I know what I want!
I want it!

Well, ya knew I'd meet you
Ya know I dreamt about you
We were walkin' hand in hand
We were talkin' 'bout love
Love at first sight, when I looked into your eyes
I was blinded by the feelings in my heart
I know you feel it, there's no doubt about it
It's gettin' stronger every day
It's a one in a million, I was shootin' for the stars
You're the world's greatest lover and you're mine

'cause I know what I want, and I know how to get it
I know what I want, and I know how to get it
I know what I want, and I know how to get it from you, from you

I know what I want, and I know how to get it

(repeat)

Jumping At Shadows


Jumping At Shadows
Composer(s): Duster Bennett
Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac;
and various other artists



Now, what can you say - there isn't much to tell
But I'm going down hill, but I blame myself
I've been - jumpin' at shadows, thinkin' - about my life

Now, everybody - they point their hand at me
but I know I'm just a picture - of what I could have been
I've been jumping at shadows, thinkin' about my life

Now, God, have mercy - 'cause I think I'm going insane
The devil's been gettin' at me - he's got me down again
I've been - jumpin' at shadows
Thinkin', oh, about my life

Ruthless People


Ruthless People
((aka Toothless People ("Weird Al" Yankovic) - 1986))
Composer(s): Daryl Hall - Mick Jagger - Dave Stewart
First release: Mick Jagger - 1986



Hey! Stand up! Ruthless people!
Hey! Stand up! Ruthless people! Real and evil!

They love the smell of the killing, the flesh
Gorging 'til they've had their fill of success
Dealing their mother to get into paradise
Pay Jesus special protection, and ain't it wise!

Hey! Stand up! Ruthless people!
So deceitful! I wanna tell you...
Hey! (Come on! ) Stand up!... Get on your feet!
Ruthless people! Real and evil! What I say...

Greedy forever and ever, success
Greedy and ever so clever, a mess
Given the right on to creep into paradise
They'll even blackmail St. Peter then pay the price!

Hey! Stand up!... Get on your feet!
Ruthless people! Greed and evil! Oh yes!

You can have it if you want it
It might take the rest of your life
If you want it you can have it
To a balancing act on a knife
You can have it if you want it
If you think it's cheap at the price
If you want it you can have it
But sweat your sweet soul out of lives!

Ruthless people!
Ruthless people!
Ruthless people!
Ruthless people!
You better watch your back now!

Hey!
Ruthless people!
Ruthless, ruthless, ruthless, ruthless people!
Hey! Stand up!

I Know There's Something Going On


I Know There's Something Going On
Composer(s): Russell Glyn Ballard
First release by: Frida - 1982
Covered by multiple other artists



I can see that it won't be long
You grow cold when you keep holding on
You know you've changed and your words, they lie
That's something you can't deny

I call, you're not at home
You're home, but you're not alone
If you wanna leave then why don't you say
Your love has gone anyway

I Know there's something going on
I Know there's something going on
I know it won't be long
Won't be long before you're gone
There's something going on
There's something going on

I know a good thing must come to an end
But it's hard to take loosing a friend
I know what you think and what's in your mind
So darling look, why pretend

I know there's something going on...

Toothless People


Toothless People
((Adapted from: Ruthless People (Mick Jagger) - 1986
Composer(s): Daryl Hall - Mick Jagger - Dave Stewart - "Weird Al" Yankovic
Performer(s): "Weird Al" Yankovic - 1986



They only show you their gums when they smile
Ain't got a tooth in their heads now, how vile
Only can eat things like pudding and applesauce
They never have to buy toothpicks or dental floss

Hey, stand up
Toothless people, their breath is lethal, wanna tell you
Hey, come on, stand up, get on your feet
Toothless people, old and feeble, what I say

No more of those pearly whites will they possess
Their oral hygiene is frightful, a mess
Lots of 'em suffering from trench mouth and gum disease
At least they don't have to worry 'bout cavities

Hey, stand up, take out your teeth
Toothless people, old and feeble, oh yes

You can brush 'em, you can floss 'em
They're something you just can't ignore
If you lose 'em, you're in trouble
'Cause the tooth fairy won't come no more
You need something to show your dentist
The next time he makes you say "Ah"
You don't wanna have to wind up
Eating all of your food through a straw

(Like toothless people, toothless people)
You'd better brush your teeth now (hey)
Toothless, toothless, toothless, toothless people
Hey, stand up, toothless people

I Know That You Know
Composer(s): Vincent Youmans; Anne Caldwell
Performer(s): Beatrice Lillie
and multiple other artists



Life's a game, but who can play it all alone
Ev'ry chap should hold a heart that's all his own
Love may come at first sight, they told me
When I saw you, I knew
That I had found my only love
When I found you

So, darling, I know that you know
That I'll go where you go
I choose you, won't lose you
I wish you knew how much I long to hold you in my arms

This time is my time
T'will soon be goodbye time
Then in the star light, hold me tight
With one more little kiss say nighty night

So, darling, I know that you know
That I'll go where you go
I choose you, won't lose you
I wish you knew how much I long to hold you in my arms

Jump, Jump, Jump
Composer(s): Rick Derringer
Performer(s): Rick Derringer; Edgar Winter



I'm thinkin' of jumpin' off a bridge
'Cause life has gotten down
Can't think of one reason to live
I guess I'll probably drown
I might as well jump, jump, jump
Think I'm gonna jump, jump, jump

The girls nowadays they all boss me around
You know I get less than their dogs
Pointless, and meaningless my friend
You know we're all lost,
In the fog
We might as well jump, jump, jump
The water's cold
I think I'm gonna jump, jump, jump
The water's cold
Everybody jump, jump, jump
I'll freeze,
My very soul

I wonder is anybody here
Or is this my private dream
I'm gonna pitch myself to sea
'Cause it's such a scary, scary, scary dream
I might as well jump, jump, jump
The water's cold
I think I'm gonna jump, jump, jump
The water's cold
Everybody jump, jump, jump
I''ll freeze
My very soul

Tom Joad


Tom Joad
((Adapted from: John Hardy (Buell Kazee) - 1927))
Composer(s): Traditional - Woody Guthrie
Performer(s): Woody Guthrie - 1940
and multiple other artists



Tom Joad got out of the old McAlester Pen
There he got his parole
After four long years on a man killing charge
Tom Joad come a walking down the road, poor boy
Tom Joad come a walking down the road

Tom Joad he met a truck driving man
There he caught him a ride He said
"I just got loose from McAlester's Pen On a charge called Homicide, A charge called Homicide"

That truck rolled away in a cloud of dust
Tommy turned his face toward home
He met Preacher Casey and they had a little drink
But they found that his family they was gone
He found that his family they was gone
He found his mother's old fashion shoe
Found his daddy's hat
And he found little Muley and Muley said
"They've been tractored out by the cats
They've been tractored out by the cats"

Tom Joad walked down to the neighbors farm
Found his family
They took Preacher Casey and loaded in a car
And his mother said "We got to git away"
His mother said 'We got to get away"

Now the twelve of the Joads made a mighty heavy load
But Grandpa Joad did cry
He picked up a handful of land in his hand
Said: "I'm stayin' with the farm till I die
Yes, I'm stayin' with my farm till I die"

They fed him short ribs and coffee and soothing syrup
And Grandpa Joad did die
They buried Grandpa Joad by the side of the road
Buried Grandma on the California side
They buried Grandma on the California side

They stood on a Mountain and they looked to the West
And it looked like the promised land
That bright green valley with a river running through
There was work for every single hand, they thought
There was work for every single hand
The Joads rolled away to Jungle Camp
There they cooked a stew
And the hungry little kids of the Jungle Camp Said
"We'd like to have some too"
Said: "We'd like to have some too"

Now a Deputy Sheriff fired loose at a man
Shot a woman in the back
Before he could take his aim again
Preacher Casey dropped him in his track
Preacher Casey dropped him in his track

They handcuffed Casey and they took him to Jail
And then he got away
And he met Tom Joad on the old river bridge
And these few words he did say, poor boy
These few words he did say

"I preached for the Lord a mighty long time
Preached about the rich and the poor
Us workin' folks got to all get together
'Cause we ain't got a chance anymore
We ain't got a chance anymore"

The Deputies come and Tom and Casey run
To the bridge where the water run down
But the vigilante they hit Casey with a club
They laid Preacher Casey on the ground
They laid Preacher Casey on the ground

Tom Joad he grabbed that Deputy's club
Hit him over the head
Tom Joad took flight in the dark rainy night
A Deputy and a Preacher lying dead, two men
A Deputy and a Preacher lying dead

Tom run back where his mother was asleep
He woke her up out of bed
Then he kissed goodbye to the mother that he loved
Said what Preacher Casey said, Tom Joad
He said what Preacher Casey said

"Ever'body might be just one big soul
Well it looks that a way to me
Everywhere that you look in the day or night
That's where I'm gonna be, Ma
That's where I'm gonna be

Wherever little children are hungry and cry
Wherever people ain't free
Wherever men are fightin' for their rights
That's where I'm gonna be, Ma
That's where I'm a gonna be

I Know That My Redeemer Lives


I Know That My Redeemer Lives
Composer(s): Lewis D. Edwards; Samuel Medley



I know that my Redeemer lives!
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, he lives, who once was dead
He lives, my ever living head!

He lives triumphant from the grave
He lives eternally to save
He lives exalted, throned above
He lives to rule his Church in love

He lives to grant me rich supply
He lives to guide me with his eye
He lives to comfort me when faint
He lives to hear my soul’s complaint

He lives to silence all my fears
He lives to wipe away my tears
He lives to calm my troubled heart
He lives all blessings to impart

He lives to bless me with his love
He lives to plead for me above
He lives my hungry soul to feed
He lives to help in time of need

He lives, my kind, wise, heavenly friend
He lives and loves me to the end
He lives, and while he lives, I’ll sing
He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King!

He lives and grants me daily breath
He lives, and I shall conquer death
He lives my mansion to prepare
He lives to bring me safely there

He lives, all glory to his name!
He lives, my savior, still the same
What joy this blest assurance gives
I know that my Redeemer lives!

Toot, Toot, Tootsie (Goo'bye)


Toot, Toot, Tootsie (Goo'bye)
Composer(s): Gus Kahn - Ernie Erdman - Ted FioRito - Dan Russo
First performance: Al Jolson - 1921
Covered by multiple other artists



Yesterday I heard a lover sigh
"Goodbye, oh me, oh my"
Seven times he got aboard his train
And seven times he hurried back
To kiss his love again, and tell her...

Toot, toot, Tootsie, goo'bye
Toot, toot, Tootsie, don't cry
The choo choo train that takes me
Away from you, no words can tell how sad it makes me
Kiss me, Tootsie, and then
Do it over again
Watch for the mail, I'll never fail
If you don't get a letter then you'll know I'm in jail
Tut, tut, Tootsie, don't cry
Toot, toot, Tootsie, goo'bye!

When somebody says goodbye to me
I'm sad as I can be,
Not so with this loving Romeo
He seemed to take a lot of pleasure
Saying goodbye to his treasure...

Toot, toot, Tootsie, goo'bye
Toot, toot, Tootsie, don't cry
The choo choo train that takes me
Away from you, no words can tell how sad it makes me
Kiss me, Tootsie, and then
Do it over again
Watch for the mail, I'll never fail
If you don't get a letter then you'll know I'm in jail
Tut, tut, Tootsie, don't cry
Toot, toot, Tootsie, goo'bye!

I Know One


I Know One
Composer(s): Jack Clement
Performer(s): Charley Pride

When all your loves have ended
When all your friends have flown
Who'll be around to want you
When all your loves have gone

Only a fool would do it
After the way you've done
And how many fools would have you
I know one

This fool keeps wondering why he fell in love at all
But you might need this fool around in case you fall
After the party's over and you've had your fill of fun
If you need a fool to forgive you...I know one

You never know you might be lonely when all your loves have missed
It wouldn't hurt to keep an extra fool on your list
After your heart's been broken and you need a place to run
If you'll take a fool who loves you...I know one...I know one

(doot, doot, doot doo, yeah)

Well, not too long ago in nineteen forty-four
When every mother's son was goin' off to war
They had to lift they spirits high (High!)
For Uncle Sam, motherhood and apple pie
Instead of spendin' money that they didn't have
In hot spots in the Bronx
They went to hear the kind of jazz
You hear in funky honky-tonks

It made you wanna
Jump (jump!), shout (shout!), knock yourself out
A boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
If you had the heebie-jeebies you could dance away
To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin'
You could jump (jump!), shout (shout!), knock yourself out
A boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down
With the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who's goin' to town

(doot, doot, doot doo, yeah)
(doot, doot, doot doo, yeah)

It had the kind of rhythm that would fill the hall
The plinkin' and the plunkin' drove 'em up the wall
And they would dance and drink their gin (yeah!)
And when the fuzz (fuzz) buzzed (buzzed), they'd join in
So everybody partied 'till the cows came home
'cause that's what boogie's for
And every night that dump would jump (jump, jump)
And keep 'em comin' back for more

Because it made you wanna
Jump (jump!), shout (shout!), knock yourself out
A boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
If you had the heebie-jeebies you could dance away
To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin'
You could jump (jump!), shout (shout!), knock yourself out
A boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down
With the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who's goin' to town

(doot, doot, doot doo, yeah)
(doot, doot, doot doo, yeah)

It made you wanna
Jump (jump!), shout (shout!)
(Foo-der-acka-sacki)
Wanna jump (jump!), shout (shout!)
(Slip the talcum to me Malcom)
You wanna jump (jump!), shout (shout!)
(Floy-doy, floy-doy)
To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin'

You could jump (jump!), shout (shout!), knock yourself out
A boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down
To the boogie-woogie beat of a piano, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha

(doot, doot, doot doo, yeah)

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
Too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
That's an Irish lullaby
Over in Killarney, many years ago
My mother sang a song to me in tones so soft and low
Just a simple little ditty in her good old Irish way
And I'd give the world if I could hear that song of hers today
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
Too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
Hush now, don't you cry
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
Too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
That's an Irish lullaby

I Know My Rider


I Know My Rider (aka "I Know You Rider" or "Woman's Blues" or "Circle Round The Sun"
Performer(s): The Byrds



Well, I know my rider's gonna miss me when I'm gone
Well, I know my rider's gonna miss me when I'm gone
She's gonna miss her loving daddy from rollin' in her arms

When you see me coming, better hoist your window high
(Your window high)
When you see me coming, better hoist your window high
(Your window high)
When you see, you see me leaving, better hang down your head and cry

Well, I know my rider, she's bound to love me some
(To love me some)
Well, I know my rider, she's bound to love me some
(To love me some)
She use to throw her arms around me like a circle around the sun

Well, I know my rider's gonna miss me when I'm gone
(When I'm gone)
Well, I know my rider's gonna miss me when I'm gone
(When I'm gone)
She's gonna miss her loving daddy from rollin' in her arms

Well, I know my rider's gonna miss me when I'm gone
(When I'm gone)
Well, I know my rider's gonna miss me when I'm gone
(When I'm gone)
She's gonna miss her loving daddy from rollin' in her arms

Jump Jump


Jump Jump
Composer(s): Debbie Harry; Chris Stein
Performer(s): Debbie Harry



Wearing stripes, arms up high, as tall as can be
Nothing more than a frozen smile to see
In the cage he'll defy all that's logical
Under lights, stay up all night with his formula
In the grip in the step of potential rage
Oh it's hip, formulated to fascinate
If you do it like this: jump! jump!
Do it like this: jump! jump!
She moves faster than any eye can see
Moving parts that aren't moved normally
In the haze what it isn't is what you see
On and off, up and down, like a yo yo string
Try to do it like this: jump! jump!
No, no, like this: jump! jump!
Do it for a kiss: jump! jump!
Do it like this: jump! jump!

They shine, we shield our eyes to see what is the dazzling and the enchanted

They whine "come closer to me"
That is the dizzying, the dancing sorcery
Jump little doggie
Do what she say
Jump jump jump
Jump little doggie
Do what she say
Jump jump jump
Jump little doggie
Do what she say
Jump jump jump
Jump little doggie
Do what she say
Jump jump jump

Whoa whoa, my little doggie, he does a trick
Ruff ruff!
He went to school to learn how to sit
We were excited, delighted having fun
As we decended the exit, got off the bus
We got friends, we got fans now, and this is proof
Can you tell me why that guy is on the roof?
Oh ho, do it like this: jump! jump!
Try it like this: jump! jump!
Do it more like this: jump! jump!

Jump little doggie
Do what she say
Jump jump jump
Jump little doggie
Do what she say
Jump jump jump
Jump little doggie
Do what she say
Jump jump jump
Jump little doggie
Do what she say
Jump jump jump
