Street Corner Serenade
Street Corner Serenade
Composer(s): Michael Duke - Jack Hall - Marshall Smith
Performer(s): Wet Willie
Down on the corner in my home town
Me and the fellows used to gather round
The song we sang it sounded so sweet
I can still hear that harmony
Singin de de de de deet
Who, whoa oh ah ah
Guide he's the one that sang down low
Crazy Larry sang the baritone
I'm the one that sang the lead
Little Jackie made our song complete
Singin de de de de deet
Who, whoa oh ah ah
When a pretty girl would come passing by
We tried too hard to catch her eye
And when she stopped to check us out
That's when we really sang out loud
Singin de de de de deet
Who, whoa oh ah ah
I still remember those happy days
We passed our time in carefree ways
Maybe someday we'll get together again
Down on the corner with my old friends
Singin de de de de deet
Who, whoa oh ah ah

Street Boogie
Composer(s): Pete Bellotte - Stefan Wisnet - Gunther Moll
Performer(s): Elton John
Street guys, walking, dancing
Sidewalk, music, hot thing
They got their boxes tuned into their favorite show
As they truck on down the road
Is that the radio
Yes that's the radio
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Street boogie got a hold on me
Street boogie gonna set me free
Street boogie keep a hold on me
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright with me
Street boogie, it's the city beat
Street boogie, on the boogie street
Street boogie, yeah and that's for me
Street boogie, street boogie, street boogie, street boogie
Traffic, skater, rolling
Sharing, music, sure thing
He got his shoulder holster turned a way up loud
As he wheels his way around
Is that the radio
Yes that's the radio
Catch the sound, catch the sound, catch the sound
Boogie, street boogie
Boogie, street boogie

Yogi Bear
Yogi Bear
(Theme Song)
Composer(s): Joseph Barbera; Hoyt Curtin; William Hanna
Yogi Bear is smarter than the average bear
Yogi Bear is always in the Ranger's hair
At a picnic table you will find him there
Stuffing down more goodies than the average bear
He will sleep till noon but before it's dark
He'll have every picnic basket left in Jellystone Park
Yogi has it better then a millionaire
That's because he's smarter than the average bear

Stray Cat Strut
Composer(s): Brian Setzer
First release by: Stray Cats - 1981
Covered by multiple other artists
Oooooooh
Black and orange stray cat sittin' on a fence
Ain't got enough dough to pay the rent
I'm flat broke but I don't care
I strut right by with my tail in the air
Stray cat strut I'm a ladies cat
I'm a feline casanova hey man that's that
Get a shoe thrown at me from a mean old man
Get my dinner from a garbage can
Meow
Yeah, don't cross my path!
I don't bother chasing mice around
I slink down the alley lookin' for a fight
Howlin' to the moonlight on a hot summer night
Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry
"Wild stray cat, you're a real gone guy"
I wish I could be as carefree and wild
But I got cat class and I got cat style

Yoga Is As Yoga Does
Yoga Is As Yoga Does
Composer(s): Gerald Nelson; Fred Burch
Performer(s): Elvis Presley; Gerald Nelson
Well I can see that you and yoga will never do
Yoga is as yoga does there's no in-between
Your either with it on the ball or you've blown the scene
I can see lookin' at you, you just can't get settled
How can I even move, twistin' like a pretzel
(Yoga is, yoga does)
(There's no in-between)
(Your either with it all the way) Or you've blown the scene
(Or you've blown the scene)
Come on come on, untwist my legs
Pull my arms a lot
How did I get so tied up
In this yoga knot
You tell me just how I can take this yoga serious
When all it ever gives to me is a pain in my posteriors
(Yoga is, yoga does)
(There's no in-between)
(Your either with it all the way) Or you've blown the scene
(Or you've blown the scene)
Stand upside down on your head, feet against the wall
A simple yoga exercise done by one and all
Now cross your eyes and hold your breath, look just like a clown
Yoga's sure to catch you if you come falling down
(Yoga is, yoga does)
(There's no in-between)
(Your either with it all the way) Or you've blown the scene
(Or you've blown the scene)
(Yoga is, yoga does)
(There's no in-between)
(Your either with it all the way) Or you've blown the scene
(Or you've blown the scene)

Straws
Straws
Performer(s): Bill Ward
I’m sorry to wake you from
Your sleep
Now baby open up your eyes
We have to go downstairs
Find some shelter
Get some help
And stay alive
How am I supposed to save you
In this chaos
Clinging, please don’t die
Where are the defenses
We were promised, oh I hope that they’ve arrived
Bring it on, the misery, tonight
Come and tell the story here tonight
We never ever have to even look
no no
no no
no no
Turn away, we never have to look
no no
no no
no no
Put your eyes on mine forever
This will be our last endeavor
Baby we won’t ever have to look
Daddy’s in the Army, Daddy’s in the Army
And, Mommy’s joining too
God help all the countries
They do know what they do
We never ever have to even look
no no
no no
no no
Turn away, we never have to look
no no
no no
no no
Hell bound in the senses
Much too late to point and blame
When questioning why
Let’s pretend that we’re dancing
As in yesterday, when it was stars that
filled the sky
Yeah, sky
Bring it on, the misery, tonight
Come and tell the story here tonight
We never ever have to even look
no no
no no
no no
Turn away, we never have to look
no no
no no
no no
Put your eyes on mine forever
This will be our last endeavor
Baby we won’t ever have to look

Yodeling Ghost
Yodeling Ghost
Composer(s): John Jerome
Performer(s): Patsy Montana;
Bing Crosby & The Andrew Sisters
Everybody in the valley
Has a strange tale to tell
The story of a haunted house
And a ghost they all kne well
Well they tell the tale of a yodelin' ghost
And when the Moon is high
You could hear this woman's ghostly wail
But there was no ghost in sight
She would yod-oo-del in the cellar
She would yod-oo-del in the hall
When the clock struck midnight
You could hear her best of all
(Yodeling)
Well the womenfolk said they believed
It was wind howling through the place
But the menfolks all insisted
They could feel her fond embrace
Well the women were a jealous lot
So they burned the old house down
There's nothing left but ashes now
But her yodel is still around
She yod-oo-dels in the valley
She yod-oo-dels in the hills
She yodels till the Sun comes up
And everything is still
(Yodeling...........Fade)

Across The Sky The Shades Of Night
Across The Sky The Shades Of Night
Composer(s): Nikolaus Decius - James Hamilton
Across the sky the shades of night
This New Year's Eve are fleeting
We deck Thine altar, Lord, with light
In solemn worship meeting
And as the year's last hours go by
We raise to Thee our earnest cry
Once more Thy love entreating
Before the cross subdued we bow
To Thee our prayers addressing
Recounting all Thy mercies now
And all our sins confessing
Beseeching Thee this coming year
To keep us in Thy faith and fear
And crown us with Thy blessing
And while we pray, we lift our eyes
To dear ones gone before us
Safe home with Thee in Paradise
Whose peace descendeth o'er us
And beg of Thee, when life is past
To reunite us all at last
With those who've gone before us
We gather up in this brief hour
The memory of Thy mercies
Thy wondrous goodness, love, and power
Our grateful song rehearses
For Thou hast been our Strength and Stay
In many a dark and dreary day
Of sorrow and reverses
In many an hour when fear and dread
Like evil spells, have bound us
And clouds were gathering overhead
Thy providence hath found us
In many a night when seas ran high
Thy gracious presence, drawing nigh
Hath made all calm around us
Then, O great God, in years to come
Whatever may betide us
Right onward through our journey home
Be Thou at hand to guide us
Nor leave us till at close of life
Safe from all perils, toil, and strife
Heaven shall enfold and hide us

Yo Viviré

Composer(s): Dino Fekaris; Freddie Perren; Óscar Gómez
Performer(s): Celia Cruz - 2000
Titles In Other Languages:
1979 - Je Survivrai
1987 - 'T Is Voorbij
Mi voz puede volar, puede atravezar
cualquier herida, cualquier tiempo
cualquier soledad, sin que la pueda controlar
toma forma de canción, así es mi voz
que sale de mi corazón
Y volará, sin yo querer
por los caminos más lejanos
por los sueños que soñé
será reflejo del amor de lo que me tocó vivir
será la música de fondo de lo mucho que sentí
Oye mi son, mi viejo son
tiene la clave de cualquier generación
en el alma de mi gente, en el cuero del tambor
en las manos del congero, en los piés del bailador
yo viviré, ahí estaré
mientras pase una cumparsa con mi rumba cantaré
seré siempre lo que fuí, con mi azúcar para tí
yo viviré, yo viviré
Y ahora vuelvo a recordar, aquel tiempo atrás
cuando me fui buscando el cielo de la libertad
cuantos a migos que dejé y cuantas lagrimas lloré
yo viviré, para volverlos a encontrar
y seguire, con mi canción
bailando música caliente como bailo yo
y cuando suene una huaracha
y cuando suene un huahuancó
en la sangre de mi pueblo en su cuerpo estaré yo
Oye mi son, mi viejo son
tiene la clave de cualquier generación
en el alma de mi gente, en el cuero del tambor
en las manos del congero, en los piés del bailador
yo viviré, ahí estaré
mientras pase una cumparsa con mi rumba cantaré
seré siempre lo que fuí, con mi azúcar para tí
yo viviré, yo viviré
oye mi son, mi viejo son
tiene la clave de cualquier generación
en el alma de mi gente, en el cuero del tambor
en las manos del congero, en los piés del bailador
yo viviré, ahí estaré
mientras pase una cumparsa con mi rumba cantaré
seré siempre lo que fuí, con mi azúcar para tí
yo viviré, yo viviré
Sobreviviendo
En esta vida lo que estoy haciendo
Sobreviviendo
Estoy sobreviviendo, estoy sobreviviendo
Sobreviviendo
Para que la gente me siga oyendo
Rompiendo barreras, voy sobreviviendo
cruzando fronteras, voy sobreviviendo
Doy gracias a Dios por este regalo
El me dió la voz y yo te la he dado
¡Con Gusto!
Rompiendo barreras, voy sobreviviendo
cruzando fronteras, voy sobreviviendo
Para ti mi gente siempre cantaré
te daré mi azucar caramba y sobreviviré
Rompiendo barreras, voy sobreviviendo
cruzando fronteras, voy sobreviviendo
Yo viviré, Yo viviré y Sobreviviré

Strawberry Letter 23
Strawberry Letter 23
Composer(s): Shuggie Otis
First release by: Shuggie Otis - 1971
Hello, my love
I heard a kiss from you
Red magic satin playing near, too
All through the morning rain
I gaze - the sun doesn't shine -
Rainbows and waterfalls run through my mind
In the garden - I see west
Purple shower, bells and tea
Orange birds and river cousins dressed in green
Pretty music I hear - so happy
And loud - blue flower echo
From a cherry cloud
Feel sunshine sparkle pink and blue
Playgrounds will laugh
if you try to ask
Is it cool?, is it cool?
If you arrive and don't see me
I'm going to be with my baby
I am free - flying in her arms, over the sea
Stained window, yellow candy screen
See speakers of kite - with velvet roses diggin' freedom flight
A present from you - Strawberry letter 22
The music plays, I sit in for a few
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...
A present from you - Strawberry letter 22
The music plays, I sit in for a few
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

Yo Vengo A Ofrecer Mi Corazón
Yo Vengo A Ofrecer Mi Corazón
Composer(s): Fito Paez
Performer(s): Fito Paez
Quien dijo que todo esta perdido
yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón
tanta sangre que se llevo el río
yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón
no será tan fácil, ya se que pasa
no será tan simple como pensaba
como abrir el pecho y sacar el alma
una cuchillada del amor
luna de los pobres siempre abierta
yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón
como un documento inalterable
yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón
y uniré las puntas de un mismo lazo
y me iré tranquilo, me iré despacio
y te daré todo, y me darás algo
algo que me alivie un poco mas
cuando no haya nadie, cerca o lejos
yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón
cuando los satélites no alcancen
yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón
y hablo de países y de esperanza
hablo por la vida, hablo por la nada
hablo de cambiar esta nuestra casa
de cambiarla por cambiar nomás
quien dijo que todo esta perdido
yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón

Strawberry Fair
Strawberry Fair
Composer(s): Sabine Baring Gould - Cecil Sharp - Nolly Clapton
Performer(s): Anthony Newley
Strawberries
Ripe Strawberries
As I was going to Strawberry Fair
Singing, singing
Butter-cups and Daisies
I met a maiden selling her wares
Fol-de-dee!
Her eyes were blue and she was fair
And she rode on a donkey to Strawberry Fair
Ri-fol, Ri-fol, Tol-de-riddle-li-do
Ri-fol, Ri-fol, Tol-de-riddle-dee
“Would you like to pick from my basket!" she said
Singing, singing, Butter-cups and Daisies
"My cherries ripe, or my roses red”
Fol-de-dee!
You can take a handful, I don’t care
As I go on to Strawberry Fair"
Ri-fol, Ri-fol, Tol-de-riddle-li-do
Ri-fol, Ri-fol, Tol-de-riddle-dee
So I said to this bird
Your cherries soon will go mouldy and bad
Singing, singing Buttercups and wotsits
Your roses wither and look all sad
Fol-de-dee
Now it’s not to buy such perishing ware
That I am slogging it to Strawberry Fair
Oh, Ri-fol, Ri-fol, come and get an earful
Ri-fol, Ri-fol, Tol-de-riddle-dee
I told her straight
I want a girl with a generous heart
Singing, singing, Butter-cups and Oojahs
Without a tongue that is wicked or smart
Fol-de-dee!
And an honest mind, but these are rare
I doubt if I’ll find them at this crummy old fair
Ri-fol, Ri-fol, Tol-de-riddle-li-do
Ri-fol, well, you know the rest, don’t you
So I put it to her straight
Now in return for these virtues, I swear
Knees up, knees up, come and have a knees up
I’ll give you a ring for your finger my dear
Fol-de-dee!
So make me your partner and give me a share
In church today at Strawberry Fair
Now, Ri-fol, Ri-fol, Tol-de-riddle-li-do, Ri-fol, Ri-fol
Strawberries
Shan’t be round tomorrow
The donkey’s pinched all the strawberries
Hee-hee-hee-hee

Yo Te Quiero Maria
Yo Te Quiero Maria
Composer(s): Jimmy Frey; Penny Els
Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Dit is nu mijn laatste brief
Met die woorden Maria
Neem ik afscheid van jou
Yo te quiero Maria
Je weet dat ik van je hou
Maar de wereld blijft maar draaien
Zij het met of zonder jou
Jij was mijn lied
Mijn wereld, mijn kleine gids
Te samen iedere dag
Doorheen zonnige straten
Jij was een lach
Wat vriendschap in een vreemd land
Maar uit het oog, uit het hart
De tijd blijft nooit staan
Yo te quiero Maria
Dit is nu mijn laatste brief
Met die woorden Maria
Neem ik afscheid van jou
Yo te quiero Maria
Je weet dat ik van je hou
Maar de wereld blijft maar draaien
Zij het met of zonder jou
Jij zal wel gauw
Iemand vinden die van je houdt
Die bij je blijft en nooit of nooit
Meer hoeft weg te gaan

Strasbourg
Strasbourg
Composer(s): Julian Cope
Performer(s): Julian Cope
Always fighting
Always fighting with yourself
Be something
Be happy
If I were France
And you were Germany
What an alliance that would be
I dig laughter
I dug up a few old dreams
They couldn't make me happy
They weren't pure
They weren't real to me
They weren't anything for you
So, look no further
We're coming through
We're not alone now
There's room for you
Look now
Hear it sounding
Hear it ringing in my ears
Their secrets sacred as sequins
And weighing you down, down
And platitudes that make you leave
The weak at the wall
Ask the questions
But that's all for now now

Yo Te Quiero Libre
Yo Te Quiero Libre
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Yo te quiero libre, libre y con amor
libre de la sombra, pero no del sol
Yo te quiero libre, como te vivi
libre de otras penas, y libre de mi
La libertad tiene alma clara
y solo canta cuando va batiendo alas
vuela y canta, libertad
La libertad nacio sin dueno
y yo quien soy para robarle cada sueno
Yo te quiero libre y con buena fe
para que conduzcas tu preciosa sed
Yo te quiero libre, libre de verdad
libre como el sueno de la libertad
La libertad, nacio sin dueno
y yo quien soy para robarle cada sueno
Yo te quiero libre como te vivi
libre de otras penas, y libre de mi

Strangers In The Starlight
Composer(s): Roy Bennett - Sid Tepper - Kathleen Twoomey - Fred Wise
Performer(s): Eartha Kitt
We were strangers in the starlight
Two hearts passing in the night
Then you whispered "please don't leave me"
And I whispered "hold me tight"
When I kissed you, how you thrilled me
In a moment, love was born
We were strangers in the starlight
Now we're lovers in the dawn
We were strangers in the starlight
Two hearts passing in the night
Then you whispered "please don't leave me"
And I whispered "hold me tight"
When I kissed you, how you thrilled me
In a moment, love was born
We were strangers in the starlight
Now we're lovers in the dawn

Yo Te Necesito
Yo Te Necesito
Composer(s): Marco Antonio Solís
Performer(s): Los Bukis;
and various other artists
(hablado)
"Que grande es mi razón de estar contigo
y cuanta falta le haces a este corazón
que me hace sentir lo que hoy te pido
regresa mi amor, regresa conmigo"
Yo te necesito
a cada momento solo pienso en ti
lo digo y lo grito
tan solo eres tu lo que me hace feliz
Yo te necesito
amor como este he sentido jamas
te espera tu nido
mi vida es vacía si tu aquí no estas
Si no estas conmigo
me duele decirlo
desde hace unos días
no se de tu vida, no se mas de ti
Me siento perdido
entre lo escondido
se alargan mis horas
mi alma te añora
y me hace decir
Que te necesito
que nada es posible en mi vida sin ti
regresa te pido
mis lágrimas faltan si lloro por ti....
Si no estas conmigo
me duele decirlo...(se repite)
