Killer Queen
Killer Queen
Composer(s): Freddie Mercury
Performer(s): Queen;
and various other artists
She keeps Moet et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
'Let them eat cake' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Kruschev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
(chorus)
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined
Perfume came naturally from Paris
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise
(chorus)
Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild..
She's all out to get you
(chorus)
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
You wanna try...

Two Sides To Every Story
Two Sides To Every Story
Composer(s): Bil Owens - Dolly Parton
Performer(s): Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
Both:
Two sides to every story
We can straighten this out, it will take time
Two sides to every story
You tell yours and I'll tell mine
Porter:
Well where were you last night when I came home
When I came in you were out and gone
Dolly:
Well I waited up till after two, then I went downtown to look for you
So how's about tellin' me where you were at
Porter:
Well me and the boys stopped off for a drink or two
(Dolly: Now ain't you a pretty thang)
Well we got to drinkin' and I guess the time just flew
Dolly:
Well the time must've flown for you alright
'Cause I thought you're gonna stay out all night
And I told myself I ain't a puttin' up with that
Both:
There's always two sides to every story
We can straighten this out, it will take time
Two sides to every story
You tell yours and I'll tell mine
Porter:
You said you went downtown to look for me
Did you have to dress up fancy as could be
Dolly:
You know I never leave the house in no tacky clothes lookin' like a trout
And I's downtown just a-lookin' my best for you
Porter:
Now I'm not accusin' you of doin' wrong
But that's awful late for you to be out and gone
Dolly:
Now look who's talkin' bout 'bein' late, I wasn't about to sit and wait
While you were out there with it ain't no tellin' who
Both:
There's always two sides to every story
We can straighten this out, it will take time
Two sides to every story
You tell yours and I'll tell mine
There's always two sides to every story
We can straighten this out, it will take time
Two sides to every story
You tell yours and I'll tell mine

And keep it company
I'd like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land
(That's the song I hear)
I'd like to teach the world to sing
(Let the world sing today)

Put your hand in my hand
Help me find the way

Killing Me Softly With His Song
Killing Me Softly With His Song
Composer(s): Charles Fox; Norman Gimble
Performer(s): Roberta Flack;
and various other artists
Strumming my pain with his fingers
singing my life with his words
killing me softly with his song
killing me softly with his song
telling my whole life with his words
killing me softly with his song
I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him to listen for a while
And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes
I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on
He sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair
and then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there
But he just came to singing, singing clear and strong

Two Ships That Passed In The Moonlight
Two Ships That Passed In The Moonlight
Performer(s): Michael Johnson
He was chasing fame and fortune, glory bound
He was too much in a hurry to slow down
And she was running from some devils that she had inside of her
I'd like to say it was romantic but the truth is that they were
Two ships that passed in the moonlight
Two stars that crossed around midnight
Without a chance either one might ever turn back
Two ships that passed in the moonlight
Two hearts that flashed on a hot night
And then sailed on till they lost sight
And never looked back
There the story might have ended but you see
On that cross was born a child and that child was me
And darling now I must be going even though this might be love
I'd like to stay a little longer but I'm just a product of
Two ships that passed in the moonlight
Two stars that crossed around midnight
Without a chance either one might ever turn back
Two ships that passed in the moonlight
Two hearts that flashed on a hot night
And then sailed on till they lost sight
And never looked back

I'd like to teach the world to sing (Sing with me)
In perfect harmony (Perfect harmony)
I'd like to buy the world a Coke
And keep it company (That's the real thing)
I'd like to teach the world to sing
(What the world wants today)
In perfect harmony (Perfect harmony)

Kind Hearted Woman
Kind Hearted Woman
Composer(s): Robert Johnson
Performer(s): Muddy Waters;
and various other artists
I've got a kind hearted woman
she studies evil all the time
I've got a kind hearted woman
she studies evil all the time
You would do to quit me just to have it on your mind
I've got a kind hearted woman, do anything in this world for me
I've got a kind hearted woman, do anything in this world for me
But these evil hearted women, Lord, and they will not let me be
Now it ain't but one thing makes Mr. Clapton drink
I swear about how you treat me baby, I begin to think
Oh baby, my life don't feel the same
It breaks my heart when you call Mr. So-and-So's name
She's a kind hearted woman, she studies evil all the time
She's a kind hearted woman, she studies evil all the time
You're best to quit me baby as just to have it on your mind

Two Purple Shadows
Two Purple Shadows
Composer(s): Dick Sanford - Sammy Mysels
Performer(s): Bobby Vinton; Jerry Vale; Franklin Bruno
Two purple shadows on the snow
Shone from her window to the street below
And I was so surprised, I stood there hypnotized
I never realized I loved her so
Two purple shadows on the snow
So close together, they were kissing, I know
That date she had with me, she broke so easily
That it was plain to see, I'd better go
What would you do in my place
What would you do
What would you do in my case
If it happened to you
The wind blew the fire from my heart
Somehow I found the courage to depart
And as I tore up two tickets for a show
They turned to two purple shadows on the snow
What would you do in my place
What would you do
What would you do in my case
If it happened to you
The wind blew the fire from my heart
Somehow I found the courage to depart
And as I tore up two tickets for a show
They turned to two purple shadows on the snow

I'd Like To Know What Happened To Mary
I'd Like To Know What Happened To Mary
Composer(s): Brandon Walsh; Ernest Breuer
Simple Mary Brown, left her own home town
For to see the Great White Way
She was sweet and shy when she said "good-bye"
And she came back home to day
At the railroad station, all the population waited for the two fifteen
Her stylish dressing, had the rubes all guessing
For they didn't know their village queen
Said Mary's Ma, to Mary's Pa
Mary's Turkey Trots and her new Gavottes
Had her home town dancing mad
But the old barn dance, didn't have a chance
With the loving Tango fad
Hesitation was the big sensation
They all tried to do it night and day
The crops were flopping while the rubes were hopping
To some brand new dance from gay Broadway
Said Mary's Pa, to Mary's Ma
"I'd like to know what happened to Mary
Since she went to New York Town
It surely don't seem like the same old Mary
Who dressed in a ging ham gown
She came back wearing seven kinds of hair
Does the Tango to the Maiden's Pray'r
I'd like to know what happened to Mary
Since Mary left the old home town"

Kind Of A Drag
Composer(s): James Holvay
Performer(s): The Buckinghams;
Hot Crew; ¡Los Checkmates!
Kind of a drag
When your baby don't love you
Kind of a drag
When you know she's been untrue
Oh oh, listen to what I've gotta to say
Girl, I still love you
I'll always love you
Anyway, anyway, anyway
Kind of a drag
When your baby says goodbye
Kind of a drag
When you feel like you want to cry
Girl, even though you make me feel blue
I still love you
I'll always love you
Anyway, Anyway, Anyway
Oh, listen to what I've gotta say
Girl, I still love you
I'll always love you
Anyway, anyway, anyway

I'd Do It All Over Again
I'd Do It All Over Again
Composer(s): W. Holyfield; B. McDill
Performer(s): Crystal Gayle
Was I right, was I wrong?
A little too weak, a little too strong?
Was it him, was it me?
Oh, I guess I'll never know
Well, you're up then you're down
Oh, but the world keeps turnin' around
Ain't it hard to find
Somethin' to hang on to?
But I know that my heart will mend
And I know that I'll smile again
I'll get back on my feet and then
I'll do it all over again
Some you lose, some you win
They say that's the way it's always been
First you laugh, then you cry
Oh, but I guess that's life
So you live and you learn
And never look back at the bridges you burned
And you change somehow
Oh, I'm a little bit wiser now
But I know that my heart will mend
And I know that I'll smile again
I'll get back on my feet and then
I'll do it all over again
But I know that my heart will mend
And I know that I'll smile again
I'll get back on my feet and then
I'll do it all over again

Kind Of Woman I Got
Kind Of Woman I Got
Composer(s): Danny Walls
Performer(s): Hank Williams Jr.; The Osborne Brothers
Well the very first thing I had in the morning is get up
The last thing I hear every night is don't touch
I have found out my own cooking don't taste too hot
You ain't the kind of a woman I wanted but you're the kind of a woman I got
If I had any sense at all I'd go crazy
But that would do you too much good so I'm not
Your mama and daddy both told me you was lazy
You ain't the kind of a woman I wanted but you're the kind of a woman I got
[ guitar ]
When I'm around the house well you start fussin'
If things don't turn out baby's way you start cussin'
I have put up with you and that's a heck of a lot
You ain't the kind of a woman I wanted but you're the kind of a woman I got
If I had any sense...
[ guitar ]
Yeah I have put up with you...

Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad
Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad
Performer(s): Meat Loaf
Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't gettin us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
There's nothing left inside of here
And maybe you can cry all night
But that'll never change the way I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldn't make me leave here
I poured it on and I poured it out
I tried to show you just how much I care
I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout
But you've been cold to me so long
I'm crying icicles instead of tears
And all I can do is keep on telling you
I want you, I need you
But-there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach
You'll never drill for oil on a city street
I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
But there ain't no Coup de Ville hiding at the bottom
of a Cracker Jack box
I can't lie, I can't tell you something I'm not
No matter how I try
I'll never be able to give you something
Something that I just haven't got
There's only one girl I'll ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart
She never loved me back
Ooh I know
I remember how she left me on a stormy night
She kissed me and got out of our bed
And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door
She packed her bags and turned right away
And she kept on telling me
She kept on telling me
She kept on telling me
I want you, I need you
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
I want you, I need you
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere

I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)
I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)
Composer(s): Meat Loaf
Performer(s): Meat Loaf
And I would do anything for love
I'd run right into hell and back
I would do anything for love
I'll never lie to you and that's a fact
But I'll never forget the way you feel right now, oh no, no way
And I would do anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No I won't do that
And some days it don't come easy
And some days it don't come hard
Some days it don't come at all, and these are the days that never end
And some nights you're breathing fire
And some nights you're carved in ice
Some nights you're like nothing I've ever seen before or will again
And maybe I'm crazy
Oh it's crazy and it's true
I know you can save me, no one else can save me now but you
As long as the planets are turning
As long as the stars are burning
As long as your dreams are coming true, you'd better believe it!
That I would do anything for love
And I'll be there till the final act
And I would do anything for love
And I'll take the vow and seal a pact
But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way, tonight
And I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No, I won't do that!
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of
But I just won't do that
[x2]
And some days I pray for silence
And some days I pray for soul
Some days I just pray to the god of sex and drums and rock 'n' roll!
And maybe I'm lonely
That's all I'm qualified to be
There's just one and only, one and only promise I can keep
As long as the wheels are turning
As long as the fires are burning
As long as your prayers are coming true, you'd better believe it!
That I would do anything for love
And you know it's true and that's a fact
I would do anything for love
And there'll never be no turning back
But I'll never do it better than I do it with you, so long, so long
And I would do anything for love
Oh, I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No, no, no, I won't do.....
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of.
But I just won't do that!
[x3]
But I'll never stop dreaming of you
Every night of my life
No way
And I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No I won't do that
[Girl]
Will you raise me up, will you help me down?
Will you get me right out of this God forsaken town?
Will you make it all a little less cold?
[Boy]
I can do that
Oh I can do that
[Girl]
Will you cater to every fantasy I've got?
Will you hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot?
Hot!
Will you take me places I've never known?
[Boy]
Now I can do that!
Oh oh now, I can do that!
[Girl]
After awhile you'll forget everything
It was a brief interlude
And a midsummer night's fling
And you'll see that it's time to move on
[Boy]
I won't do that
I won't do that
[Girl}
I know the territory, I've been around
It'll all turn to dust and will all fall down
Sooner or later, you'll be screwing around
[Boy]
I won't do that
No, I won't do that
Anything for love
Oh, I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No, I won't do that

Richie Furay; Last Train Home; Jim Messina;
Poco; Percy Sledge; Chris Smither
I got a good reason for loving you
It's an old fashioned sigh
I kinda get to feelin' like mmmmm you know when
I fell in love the first time
Kind woman
Won't you love me tonight
I'm seein' the look in your eyes
Kind woman
Don't leave me lonely tonight
Please say it's alright
Remember once before you're hearing
The old folks say
Love's an ageless old rhyme
But now-a-days you know the sayin' depends
So much on
The kind of woman that you find
Kind woman
Won't you love me tonight
I'm seein' the look in your eyes
Kind woman
Don't leave me lonely tonight
Won't you say it's alright
Kind woman
Won't you love me tonight
I'm seein' the look in your eyes
Kind woman Don't leave me lonely tonight
Won't you say it's alright

Two On A Tandem
Two On A Tandem
Composer(s): Jones
Performer(s): Billy Cotton & His Band
Two on a tandem every fine week end
Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling
Ring the bell around the bend
Two on a tandem with skies of blue above
Just speeding along at random
With the one you love
Travelling along the country road
Oh what a lovely ride
There are such pretty things to see
Nature is by your side
Two on a tandem with skies of blue above
Just speeding along at random
With the one you love
Quack, Quack, Quack, “Gerout of it”
Quack, quack, Quack, Quack
Travelling along the country road
Oh what a lovely ride
There are such pretty things to see
Nature is by your side
Two on a tandem with skies of blue above
Just speeding along at random
With the one you love

Composer(s): Joey Molland
Performer(s): Badfinger
You give me loving like crazy
You make my daisy grow high
You treat me good, so I'm lazy
You make me feel so alive
You get me feeling I'm okay
And I've got nothing to hide
And if you're leaving for a while, babe
You know, I'd die babe, babe, I'd die
I tell you I love you
I'll tell you no lies
I tell you I need you
And I want you by my side
Used to be cold and lonely
You came along with your smile
And if you leave now, I'll cry, babe
You know, I'd die babe, babe, I'd die
I tell you I love you
I'll tell you no lies
I tell you I need you
And I want you by my side
Used to be cold and lonely
You came along with your smile
And if you leave now and cry, babe
You know, I'd die babe, babe, I'd die
