If I Had My Life To Live Over
If I Had My Life To Live Over
Composer(s): Moe Tobias; Charles Jaffe; Larry Vincent
Performer(s): The Three Suns
and multiple other artists
As I review my life with you
Since the days of old
I wouldn't think of changing things
For all the World and its gold
If I had my life to live over
I'd do the same things again
I'd still want to roam
Near the place we called home
Where my happiness never would end
I'd meet you when school days were over
And we'd walk through the lanes we once knew
If I had my life to live over
I'd still fall in love with you
If I had my life to live over
I'd do the same things again
I'd still want to roam
Near that place we called home
Where my happiness never would end
I'd meet you when school days were over
And we'd walk through the lanes we once knew
If I had my life to live over
I'd still fall in love with you
Yes, if I had my life to live over
I'd still fall in love with you

Kansas City Blues
Kansas City Blues
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb;
Junior Brown; Wayne Hancock
Lord I which I was a catfish swimming in the sea
With lots of pretty women Lordy fishing after me
Then I’d move
Then I’d move
Then I’d move to Kansas City honey, baby where they don’t want you
Now they call me pretty Papa the swellist guy in town
The women’s all crazy about me but my good Gal turned me down
She done moved
She done moved
She done moved to Kansas City honey, baby where they don’t want you
Ah pick that blues out Billy
Instrumentals
Now I went upon Broadway, looking down Biel
Looking for the Gal that they Call Lucile
She done moved
She done moved
She done moved to Kansas City honey, baby where they don’t want you
Now fooling around in Nashville as blue as I can be
Looking for that blond that made a chump out of me
She done moved
She done moved
She done moved to Kansas City honey, baby where they don’t want you

If I Had My Druthers
If I Had My Druthers
Composer(s): Gene De Paul; Johnny Mercer
If I had my druthers
I'd druther have my druthers
Than anything else I know
While you'd druther hustle
accumulatin' muscle
I'd druther watch daisies grow
While they're growin' slow
'n the summer breeze is blowin'
My heart is overflowin' 'n so
If I had my druthers
I'd druther have my druthers
than anything else I know
If I had my druthers
I'd druther have my druthers
Than work any wheres at all
It ain't that I hates it
I often contemplates it
while watchin' the rain drops fall
I sits there for hours
developin' my powers
a figurin' how flowers gets tall
If I had my druthers
I'd druther have my druthers

Kansas City Star
Kansas City Star
Composer(s): Roger Miller
Performer(s): Roger Miller; The Sweetback Sisters;
Huckleberry Flint; The Wilders
Got a letter just this mornin' it was postmarked Omaha
It was typed and neatly written offerin' me this better job
Better job at higher wages, expenses paid and a car
But I'm on TV here locally and I can't quit, I'm a star
Hah-ha I come on the TV a-grinnin,' wearin' pistols and a hat
It's a kiddy show and I'm a hero of the younger set
I'm the number one attraction at every supermarket parkin' lot
I'm the king of Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot
Kansas City star, that's what I are
Yodel-leedle lay-dee, you oughta see my car
I drive a big old Cadillac with wire wheels
Got rhinestones on the spokes
I got credit down at the grocery store
And my barber tells me jokes
I'm the number one attraction at every supermarket parkin' lot
I'm the king of Kansas City, no thanks to Omaha, thanks a lot
Kansas City star, that's what I are
Yodel-leedle lay-dee, you oughta see my car
I drive a big old Cadillac with wire wheels,
Got rhinestones on the spokes
I got credit down at the grocery store
And my barber tells me jokes
I'm the number one attraction at every supermarket parkin' lot
I'm the king of Kansas City, no thanks to Omaha, thanks a lot
Spoken: Stay tuned, we're gonna have a Popeye cartoon in a minute

If I Had Any Sense Left At All
If I Had Any Sense Left At All
Composer(s): Hank Cochran; Red Lane; Dale Dodson
Performer(s): Reba McEntire
I can feel the darkness reaching in
As I touch the place you may as well have never been
Love can hurt much more than one can bear
When a heart beats for someone who's not there
How many times must I tell myself that you're gone
When will the rest of me wake up and see what went wrong... So wrong
And turn on the light and pick up the phone and just call
And lay pride aside
If I had any sense left at all
Voices call that only I can hear
Who would have thought love was something I would fear
Almost home, almost there, almost taste
On my mind, in my heart, on my face
How many times must I tell myself that you're gone
When will the rest of me wake up and see what went wrong... So wrong
And turn on the light and pick up the phone and just call
And lay pride aside
If I had any sense left at all
Oh just lay pride aside
If I had any sense left at all

Kanske Var Min Kind Lite Het
Kanske Var Min Kind Lite Het
English Title: Maybe My Cheek Was A Little Hot
Composer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
Timmen hade blivit sen
När jag plötsligt såg dig vid entréen
Du var ensam
Jag som drömt om dig var då
Hade inte svårt att svara ja
När du bad om en dans
Refräng:
Kanske var min kind lite het
Varför var jag blyg när du log mot mig
För en kort sekund stod allting still
Jag önskar att du känt detsamma
Kanske var min kind lite het
Älskade förlåt att jag tryckte din hand
Men det var så skönt att ha dig nära
Att känna dig intill
Aldrig har jag älskat så
Undrar om du nånsin ska förstå
Hur jag känner
Hoppet finns ju ändå kvar
Jag ska alltid minnas hur det var
När du tog min hand
Refräng
Kanske var min kind
Kanske var min kind
Kanske var min kind lite het

If I Had Any Pride Left At All
If I Had Any Pride Left At All
Composer(s): John Greenbaum; Troy Seals; Eddie Setser
Performer(s): John Berry
and multiple other artists
I wouldn't count the times we talked about tomorrow
And I wouldn't sing the lines if some one played our song
On lonely nights like this when I need a friend
You'd be the last one I'd call
Oh if I had any pride left at all
I would keep a place just to set your picture
Reach out to touch your face and feel you in my arms
And I wouldn't be here now parked outside your house
Not ashamed to crawl oh if I had any pride left at all
And only a fool would still be wearing this ring
Ringing your front doorbell
And I wouldn't let my heart stay wrapped around your finger
And I wouldn't fall apart when you open the door
Like all the other times when your eyes met mine
These teardrops wouldn't fall
Oh if I had any pride left at all
Oh if I had any pride left at all

Karen
Karen
Composer(s): Jack Marshall; Bob Mosher
Performer(s): The Surfaris
She's a doll, she's a queen, she's a tantalizing teen
And Karen is her name (they call her Karen)
At a party she's a stomper and a rock and rollin' romper
Everybody's glad she came
Hey that's Karen
She sets her hair with great precision
It's her favorite indoor sport
And by the light of television
She can even write a book report
There is no one greater north or south of the equator
Karen's always in a whirl
She's alarming but disarming, and a really very charming modern girl

If I Had A Talking Picture Of You
If I Had A Talking Picture Of You
Composer(s): Lew Brown; Buddy DeSylva; Ray Henderson
Performer(s): Jack Hylton's Orch.
and multiple other artists
If I had a talking picture of you
I would run it every time I felt blue
I would sit there in the gloom of my lonely little room
And applaud each time you whispered, "I love you; love you"
On the screen the moment you came in view
We would talk the whole thing over, we two
I would give ten shows a day
and a midnight matinee
If I had a talking picture of you

Karen''s Song
Karen''s Song
Performer(s): Grant Ames
Karen, Karen, I don't wanna learn to live without you
today you're leaving, and tonight I'm gonna dream about you...
but the plane is calling and you gotta get going
and I don't know whether you'll be back tomorrow...
so I'll keep smiling, I'll hide the hurting,
I'll ask you baby can I drive you out there...
When you're flying, tell me baby are you thinking of me
I'm not crying but I don't know if you really love me
but the plane is calling and you gotta get going
and I don't know whether you'll be back tomorrow...
so I'll swallow my questions and live for the moment
and the joy we share when we're together...
Every minute, that you're with me's like a happy hour
when you're in it, my life just begins to flower...
but the plane is calling and you gotta get going
and I don't know whether you'll be back tomorrow...
so I'll keep trying and I'll keep hoping
and maybe someday soon there'll be a tomorrow...
My heart is beating, but I sometimes don't know why without you
I watched you leaving, and I don't why I couldn't stop you...
yeah your new life is calling and you've gotta get going
and I know you won't be back tomorrow...
but I want you to love me and I want you to touch me,
and I just don't wanna live without you
Karen, Karen, I'll try to learn to live without you
I'm still grieving, gotta give up all my dreams about you
yeah the plane is calling and you've gotta get going
and I don't think there'll ever be a tomorrow...
so I'll remember the good times and the things you taught me
the joy we shared, the joy and the sorrow
Karen, Karen
the joy and the sorrow
the dreams of tomorrow
for Karen...
and me....

If I Had A Rocket Launcher
If I Had A Rocket Launcher
Composer(s): Bruce Cockburn
First release by: Bruce Cockburn - 1984
Covered by multiple other artists
Here comes the helicopter -- second time today
Everybody scatters and hopes it goes away
How many kids they've murdered only God can say
If I had a rocket launcher...I'd make somebody pay
I don't believe in guarded borders and I don't believe in hate
I don't believe in generals or their stinking torture states
And when I talk with the survivors of things too sickening to relate
If I had a rocket launcher...I would retaliate
On the Rio Lacantun, one hundred thousand wait
To fall down from starvation -- or some less humane fate
Cry for guatemala, with a corpse in every gate
If I had a rocket launcher...I would not hesitate
I want to raise every voice -- at least I've got to try
Every time I think about it water rises to my eyes
Situation desperate, echoes of the victims cry
If I had a rocket launcher...Some son of a bitch would die

Karma
Karma
Composer(s): Lisette Alvarez; Eddie Martínez
Performer(s): Raphael
Si es que todo lo que hicimos mal en otra vida
Aqui se paga.
Un error, una pasion fatal y sin medida
Estar amada
Fui serpiente de tu paraiso
Y mordiste el fruto de mi hechizo
Pirata que tu carga de oro y plata
Te robo al amanecer
Liberame, amor sin tiempo
Que si guardas vengaza en tu alma
Con mis besos borrare este karma
Ven, liberame de esta condena
Tu silencio es mi peor sentencia
El castigo de tu indiferencia
Nadie gana es este juego
No me quemes en el fuego del amor
Si es que acaso no haber hecho el bien en otra vida
Es castigado
Debo ser culpable yo tambien y arrepentido
De mi pecado
De quizas haberte abandonado
O una lanza para tu costado
Mirada que en la fuente de agua clara
Te dejo morir de sed
Liberame, amor sin tiempo
Que aunque no recuerdes el pasado
N las vidas que pase a tu lado
Ven, liberame de esta condena
Ven dispuesta a abandonar las armas
Y redime de mi alma de este karma
La leccion esta aprendida
Cambia el ritmo de esta vida con tu amor

If I Had A Million Dollars
If I Had A Million Dollars
Composer(s): Matty Malneck; Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): The Boswell Sisters
and multiple other artists
Castles with their thrones
Ships upon the sea
Gold and precious stones
All belong to me
Foolish though it seems
Every word is true
Though they're only my own dreams
My dreams belong to you
If I had a million dollars
I know just what I would do
I'd tie a string around the World
And bring all of it to you
Those little things you pray for
Whatever they may be
I'd have enough to pay for
Them all, C.O.D
If I spent a million dollars
I know I would never care
Because as long as you were mine
I'd still be a millionaire
That's why I'm always dreaming
Dreaming of what I would do
If I had a million dollars for you
If I had a million dollars
I know just what I would do
I would tie a string around the World
And bring all of it to you
Those little things you pray for
Whatever they may be
I'd have enough to pay for
Them all, C.O.D
If I spent a million dollars
I know I would never care
Because as long as you were mine
I'd still be a millionaire
That's why I'm always dreaming
Dreaming of what I would do
If I had a million dollars for you

Karn Evil 9: 3rd Impression
Karn Evil 9: 3rd Impression
Composer(s): Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Performer(s): Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Man alone; born of stone
Will stamp the dust of time
His hands strike the flame of his soul
Ties a rope to a tree and hangs the Universe
Until the winds of laughter blows cold
Fear that rattles in men's ears
And rears it's hideous head
Dread .... Death .... in the wind ....
Man of steel pray and kneel
With fever's blazing torch
Thrust in the face of the night
Draws a blade if compassion
Kissed by countless Kings
Whose jewelled trumpet words blind his sight
Walls that no man thought would fall
The altars of the just
Crushed .... Dust .... in the wind ....
No man yields who flies in my ship
Danger!
Let the bridge computer speak
Stranger!
Load your program
I am yourself
No computer stands in my way
Only blood can cancel my pain
Guardians of a new clear dawn
Let the maps of war be drawn
Rejoice! Glory is ours!
Our young men have not died in vain
Their graves need no flowers
The tapes have recorded their names
I am all there is
Negative! Primitive! Limited! I let you live!
But I gave you life
What else could you do?
To do what was right
I'm perfect! Are you?

Performer(s): Mel Tormé
and multiple other artists
I'm lonesome and blue
But when I look at you
There's one thing I know is true
Wouldn't be lonesome

If I had a girl like you!
I've waited a lifetime
I've had a delight time
Those long nights have made mr blue
Wouldn't be waiting
Wouldn't be hating
If I had a girl like you!
I don't know why
I'm feeling the way I do
I know that I
Haven't made a mistake in you!
Everything seems
Like one of my dreams
Wake me up and say it's true!
Wouldn't be dreamin'
Wouldn't be schemin'
If I had a girl like you!
If I had a girl like you!
If I had a girl like you!
I don't know why
I'm feelin' the way I do
I know that I
Haven't made a mistake in you!
Everything seems
Like one o' my dreams
Wake me up and say it's true!
Wouldn't be dreamin'
Wouldn't be schemin'
If I had a girl like you!

Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog & Christian
Kom raska på
Stora och små
Köp karusell-biljett
Världen skall ses från en höjd
Om man med den skall bli nöjd
Och vi kan ge
Största succé
Herrskapet nånsin sett
Andersson, Lundström är här
Kom och snurra med oss jungfru skär
Kom följ med i vår karusell
Och se jorden gå runt vår sol
Kom och snurra med oss ikväll
Håll i hatter och krås och kjol
För en tolvskilling och en sång
Ger vi er tidsfördriv
Kom och se våran värld en gång
I ett nytt perspektiv
Jag tycker att
Jorden är platt
Men alla lärda män
Säger att vår himlakropp
Snurrar så solen går opp
Tro't om ni vill
Solen står still
Fast den på himmelen
Rullar var dag ifrån ost
Därför att världen är rund som en prost
Kom följ med i vår karusell
Och se jorden gå runt vår sol
Köm och snurra med oss ikväll
Håll i hatter och krås och kjol
För en tolvskilling och en sång
Får ni resa ikväll
Och se jorden gå runt en gång
Här i vår karusell
Är du lycklig och ung
Är du prins eller kung
Är du blyg videung
Så kom med oss och sjung
Är du gammal och ful
Då behövs det nåt kul
Kom och snurra på lyckans hjul
Är du lycklig och ung
Är du prins eller kung
Är du blyg videung
Så kom med oss och sjung
Är du gammal och ful
Då behövs det nåt kul
Kom och snurra på lyckans hjul
Är du lycklig och ung
Är du prins eller kung
Är du blyg videung
Så kom med oss och sjung
Är du gammal och ful
Då behövs det nåt kul
Kom och snurra på lyckans hjul

If I Had A Girl Like You (George Formby)
If I Had A Girl Like You
Composer(s): Phil Parke; Harry Parr-Davies
Performer(s): George Formby
If I wasn't me, but a different sort of chap
What a romeo I'd be
I'd be able to see it's an awful handicap
When a guy's as shy as me
What happiness might come my way
If I could just speak up and say
I'll bet I could work wonders, seems too good to be true
I could be a 'b' marvel if I had a girl like you
Single handed I'd rescue ship and captain and crew
I'd be number one hero if I had a girl like you
I'd spend my leisure finding hidden treasure
No one could measure the things that I do
In the stormiest weather I could eat a pie stew
I'd become a real sailor if I had a girl like you
I could do without moonlight and give the stars a rest too
I'd be warm in a snowstorm if I had a girl like you
All the radio programmes would be strictly taboo
They could keep their old brains trust if I had a girl like you
I'd never long for meals they ring a gong for
The shows they throng for I never would view, I'm telling you
I'd have pennies from heaven, I could live in a shoe
They could take me clothes coupons if I had a girl like you
