I'm In Love


I'm In Love
Performer(s): Les Fourmost



I've got something to tell you, I'm in love
I've been longing to tell you, I'm in love
You'll believe me, when I tell you
I'm in love with you
You're my kind of girl
You make me feel proud
You make me want to shout aloud
Yes, I'm telling all my friends, I'm in love
Ev'ry night I can't sleep, thinking of you
And ev'ry little thing that you do
Yes, I'm telling all my friends, I'm in love
Oh yeh, I'm sittin' on the top of the world
I'm in love with a wonderful girl
And I never felt so good before
If this is love, give me more, more, more

Ev'ry night I can't sleep, thinking of you
And ev'ry little thing that you do
Yes, I'm telling all my friends, I'm in love

Yes, I'm telling all my friends, I'm in love

Yes, I'm telling all my friends, I'm in love

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere


Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
Composer(s): Neil Young
Performer(s): Neil Young & Crazy Horse



I think I'd like to go back home
And take it easy

There's a woman that I'd like to get to know
Living there

Everybody seems to wonder what it's like down here
Gotta get away from this day-to-day running around
Everybody knows this is nowhere
Everybody everybody knows
Everybody knows this is nowhere
Everytime I think about back home
It's cool and breezy
Which that I could be there right now
Just passing time
Everybody seems to wonder what it's like down here
Gotta get away from this day-to-day running around
Everybody knows this is nowhere

Repeat

Everybody knows everybody knows…

I'm In A Low-Down Groove
Composer(s): Roy Jacobs
Performer(s): Billie Holiday; James Carter; Erskine Hawkins



I'm in a low-down groove
From carr'ing a torch for you
Oh what a low-down groove
Really don't know what to do
My heart has no sense of humour
Dear, as far as you're concerned
It's more than a winchell rumour
This time I really got burned
I don't need a song to prove
That I'm in such a low-down groove

My heart has no sense of humour
Dear, as far as you're concerned
It's more than a winchell rumour
This time I really got burned
I don't need a song to prove
That I'm in such a low-down groove

Everybody Knows Matilda


Everybody Knows Matilda
Composer(s): Duke Baxter
Performer(s): The Petards



I went down to 42nd street
Thought I'd get a bite to eat
I saw a girl that I'd like to meet
You know, she sure looked good

Told me that her heart was broken
Asked me what it was I's smoking
All she had was an old bus token
Yes, I would

She cried a tear
And said she was alone
And would I be so good
To accompany her home
Yeah, I could, yeah

But everybody knows Matilda
Everybody knows Matilda
Ain't no life for a young girl
All alone in a great big world
Matilda

Took me to shack on the edge of town
All the shades were pulled and drawn
Nobody, not a soul around
She smiled at me

Mixed drinks and I fixed my head
Drank it down, made me feel like lead
When I asked her, where was the bed
She said, I'd see

She pulled me close
Now what was I to do
My head was spinning
As she said take off your shoes
And I agree, yeah

But everybody knows Matilda
Everybody knows Matilda
Ain't no life for a young girl
All alone in a great big world
Matilda

Heard a heavy knock upon the door
Scared me so bad, I fell on the floor
Heard a voice that sounded sore
Said, let me in

Matilda said her boyfriend had a gun
Sorry, baby, but you have to run
But I was gone before she was done
I left my skin

Flew out the window
As the door came tumbling down
Didn't even say goodbye
I was homeward bound
Just can't win, no

Now everybody knows Matilda
Everybody knows Matilda
Ain't no life for a young girl
All alone in a great big world

Everybody knows Matilda
Everybody knows Matilda
Everybody knows Matilda
Everybody knows Matilda

Everybody Knows (The Dave Clark Five)


Everybody Knows
((French Version: Tout Le Monde Sait (Dalida)) Composer(s): Barry Mason - Leslie Reed Performer(s): The Dave Clark Five



Wish they hadn't seen you walk away
And heard me beg you "Stay, please stay"
Why, why did we choose this crowded place
They all know it, 'cause I show it in my face

Everybody knows you said goodbye
Everybody knows we're through
Now they all can see the tears I cry
Running down my face for you

They all said it's too good to be true
It'll make a fool of you one day
I just laughed and said our love was strong
But you left me and they all know I was wrong

Everybody knows you're tired of me
Everybody knows we're through
Though I'm on my own I can't be free
Baby, I just live for you

Everybody knows you said goodbye
Everybody knows we're through
Now they all can see the tears I cry
Running down my face for you

Everybody knows you're tired of me
Everybody knows we're through
Though I'm on my own I can't be free
Baby, I just live for you

I'm Hurtin' (Nat King Cole)


I'm Hurtin'
Composer(s): Skeets McDonald
Performer(s): Nat King Cole



I'm hurtin' since you're gone
Without you baby I can't get along
Each day I pay what be the cost
Without you baby I'm really lost
Heart breakin' one you led me on
Now misery is the cost
Without you baby it's for certain
I'm a-hurtin'

I'm hurtin' here all alone
For me it's curtains if you're long gone
Please come on home and you be boss
Because without you I'm really lost
I've lost my might, my appetite
Just roll and toss, can't sleep at night
Without you baby it's for certain
I'm a-hurtin'

I'm hurtin', my pride is gone
There's one thing certain, the blues are long
A rollin' stone don't gather moss
I'm rollin' on, but really lost
I love your style, I miss your smile
Each day you're gone, I'm nearly wild
Without you baby it's for certain
I'm a-hurtin'
Without you baby it's for certain
I'm a-hurtin'

Everybody Knows (Leonard Cohen)


Everybody Knows
Composer(s): Leonard Cohen; Sharon Robinson
Performer(s): Leonard Cohen



Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died

Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Ah give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

And everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah when you've done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows

And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows

And everybody knows that you're in trouble
Everybody knows what you've been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu
Everybody knows it's coming apart
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
Before it blows
And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows

I'm Here To Get My Baby Out Of Jail


I'm Here To Get My Baby Out Of Jail
Composer(s): Karl Davis; Harty Taylor
Performer(s): The Cumberland Ridge Runners - 1934
Covered by multiple other artists



"I'm not in your town to stay"
Said a lady old and gray
To the warden of the penitentiary
"I'm not in your town to stay
And I'll soon be on my way
I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
Oh warden, I'm just here to get my baby out of jail"

"I tried to raise my baby right
I have prayed both day and night
That he wouldn't follow the footsteps of his dad
I have searched both far and wide
And I feared that he had died
But at last I've found my baby here in jail
Oh warden, at last I've found my baby here in jail"

"It was just 5 years today
When his daddy passed away
He was found beneath the snow so cold & white
'Twas then I vowed to take his ring
And his gold watch and his chain
And the county laid his daddy in the grave
Yes warden, the county laid his daddy in the grave"

"I will pawn you his watch
I will pawn you his chain
I will pawn you my diamond wedding ring
I will wash all your clothes
I will scrub all your floors
If that will get my baby out of jail
Yes warden, if that will get my baby out of jail"

Then I heard the warden say
To the lady old and gray
"I'll go bring your darlin' baby to your side"
2 iron gates swang wide apart
She held her darlin' to her heart
She kissed her baby boy and then she died
But smiling, she kissed her baby boy and then she died

"I'm not in your town to stay"
Said a lady old and gray
"I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
Yes warden, I'm just here to get my baby out of jail"

Everybody Knows (I Still Love You)


Everybody Knows (I Still Love You)
Composer(s): Barry Mason; Leslie Reed
Performer(s): The Dave Clark Five



Everybody knows you've been treating me bad
Everybody knows you've been makin' me sad

Well you don't have to lie 'cause I'm no fool
I can see you don't want my love at all
I know, I still love you

Everybody knows he's been hanging around
Everybody knows you've been painting the town

He could never love you the way that I do
And maybe I'll find somebody else
But oh, I still love you

Every night I keep on cryin'
And I pray that you'll stop lyin' to me

Everybody knows you will never be mine
Everybody knows I've been wasting my time

I want to forget you as fast as I can
But every time I see you the hurtin' begins again
I still love you

Everybody knows, everybody knows

Everybody Is Going To Make It This Time


Everybody Is Going To Make It This Time
Composer(s): George Clinton; Bernie Worrell
Performer(s): Funkadelic



Our mothers and our fathers
They had lives to live
Oh, and today, is proof that mistakes were made
There's not a doubt in my heart
They've done the best that they know how
And there's still time for us to make a change

We got to learn from the mistakes that were made in the past
We got to clean so that we can clean our minds
'Cause in order to get it together
We got to get our heads together
Everybody is going to make it this time (x2)

Our country and our cities, they have been betrayed for money
Ooooh, and somehow, the people, they will make a change, yeah
There's not a doubt in my mind
If hunger and anger place the blame
There won't be a country left to change

We got to see what we're doing in the name of comfort
We've got to see, we've got to feel the warning signs
But in order to get it together
We've got to get our heads together
Everybody is going to make it this time (x2)

We've got to learn from the mistakes
That were made in the past
We've got to clean so that we can use our minds
But in order to get it together
We've got to get our heads together
Everybody is going to make it this time (x2)
(Everybody, make it, yeah whoa!)
Everybody is going to make it this time (x9)
(Got to make it, this time, whoaa! Wooo, woo, woo, hey!)

I'm Henry The Eight


I'm Henry The Eight
Performer(s): Harry Champion



You don't know who you're looking at; now have a look at me!
I'm a bit of a nob, I am, belong to royaltee
I'll tell you how it came about; I married Widow Burch
And I was King of England when I toddled out of church
Outside the people started shouting, "Hip hip hooray!"
Said I "Get down upon your knees it's Coronation Day!"

I'm Henry the Eighth I am!
Henry the Eighth I am, I am!
I got married to the widow next door
She's been married seven times before
Everyone was a Henry
She wouldn't have a Willie or a Sam
I'm her eighth old man named Henry
I'm Henry the Eighth I am!

I left the "Duke of Cumberland", a pub up in the town
Soon with one or two moochers I was holding up the Crown
I sat upon the bucket that the carmen think their own
Surrounded by my subjects I was sitting on the throne
Out came the potman, saying, "Go on, home to bed!"
Said I, "Now say another word and off'll go your head!"

I'm Henry the Eighth I am!
Henry the Eighth I am, I am!
I got married to the widow next door
She's been married seven times before
Everyone was a Henry
She wouldn't have a Willie or a Sam
I'm her eighth old man named Henry
I'm Henry the Eighth I am!

Now at the Wax-work Exhibition not so long ago
I was sitting among the kings, I made a lovely show
To good old Queen Elizabeth, i shouted "Wotcher Liz!"
While people poked my ribs and said, "I wonder who this is!"
One said , "It's Charley Peace!" and then I got the spike
I shouted "Show your ignorance!" as waxy as you like

I'm Henry the Eighth I am!
Henry the Eighth I am, I am!
I got married to the widow next door
She's been married seven times before
Everyone was a Henry
She wouldn't have a Willie or a Sam
I'm her eighth old man named Henry
I'm Henry the Eighth I am!

I'm Happy When The Band Plays Dixie


I'm Happy When The Band Plays Dixie
Composer(s): Earl J. Benham; William J. Vanderveer



Have you ever felt a strange sensation
When the band begins to play
Have you noticed how you'll march along
And follow the band all day
Like a soldier boy you're sure to fall in line to hear the music sweet
Troubles you forget now you're marching yet oh it surely is a treat
When they play, "My country tis of thee"
every body cheers the good old band
But there's one more tune they'll play it soon
it's a song of dear Dixie land

Thro' dear Dixie old
Hi Henry with his minstrel show was booked to play
With his singers grand and one fine band
in town he stayed just one day
On the billboard fence he advertised
that thro' the streets they would parade
To be water boy was my greatest joy
to the opera house I made
There they dressed me up as Uncle Sam
and handed me the flag to wave
Dixie they played loud to please the crowd
then for dear Dixie land we raved

I'm happy when the band plays Dixie
It's the land that I love so dear
Where the sweet magnolias rare
Scent that good old southern air
Now for dear Dixie I will cheer
Sweet strains of that old grand song Dixie
Bring back thoughts of my childhood days
I wish I was in Dixie, I do, I do
I'm happy when the band plays Dixie

Don't Make A Beggar Of Me


Don't Make A Beggar Of Me Composer(s): Benny Goodman; Al Sherman; Axel Stordahl Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



Don't make me beg for your kisses
Beg for your tender embrace
I want your love, not your sympathy
Please don't make a beggar of me

Since I looked in your direction
Your tenderness is all I seem to crave
But when I look for your affection
You smile, my dear, and tell me to behave

Don't make me beg for your kisses
Beg for your tender embrace
I want your love, not your sympathy
Please don't make a beggar of me

While I sigh and keep confessing
The love I have for you will never die
Somehow, you always keep me guessing
And wondering how long I'll have to cry

Don't make me beg for your kisses
Beg for your tender embrace
I want your love, not your sympathy
Please don't make a beggar of me
