I'm In The Mood


I'm In The Mood
Composer(s): John Lee Hooker; Bernard Besman
First release by: John Lee Hooker - 1951



I'm in the mood baby, I'm in the mood for love
I'm in the mood baby, I'm in the mood for love
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood, baby, I'm in the mood for love

I said night time is the right time, to be with the one you love
You know when night come baby, God know, you're so far away
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood baby, I'm in the mood for love
I'm in the mood, in the mood, baby, in the mood for love

I said yes, my mama told me, to leave that girl alone
But my mama didn't know, God know, girl was puttin' down
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood baby, in the mood for love
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood, baby, in the mood for love

Everybody Rag With Me


Everybody Rag With Me
Composer(s): Grace LeBoy; Gus Kahn



What's that sneaky freaky, creepy, melody?
It just takes me, makes me restless as can be
It goes to my heart, my head, my feet
I'll give anybody in the house my seat
I want to dance, dance, dance, dance, dance till I drop
I don't ever want to stop this ragging

Sousa's clever but he never played like this
This just thrills me and it fills me full of bliss
There it goes again! that sweet refrain!
Every note reminds me of an Angel strain!
Come on and dance, dance, dance, dance, then dance some more
We'll wear out this old pine floor completely

Everybody rag with me
Everybody drag with me
I've learned those dips and skips and dreamy hesitations
I could dance till day is dawning
Then I want to dance all morning
Everybody sway with me
Drop your work and play with me
I don't want to hear any opera grand
Ragtime music, that's what I understand!
I want everybody in the world to rag with me

I'm In Seventh Heaven


I'm In Seventh Heaven
Composer(s): Lew Brown; Buddy DeSylva; Ray Henderson; Al Jolson
Performer(s): Al Jolson
and multiple other artists



Feel the way my heart keeps thumpin'
Notice how my two eyes shine
See the way my feet keep jumpin'
Jumpin' with joy, I'm some lucky boy

I'm in the seventh heaven
It's easy to guess, my baby said yes
I know I've just thrown a great big seven
For she is the prize, what lips and what eyes

She knows that I've got all the stuff, got all the things
She thinks that I'm angel enough without wings
And that's why I'm in the seventh heaven, heaven
Having a heck of a time

I'm in the seventh heaven
It's easy to guess, my baby said yes
I know I've just thrown a great big seven
For she is a prize, what lips and what eyes

She knows that I got all the stuff, got all the things
She thinks that I'm angel enough without wings
And that's why I'm in the seventh heaven, heaven
Having a heck of a time

Everybody Plays The Fool


Everybody Plays The Fool
Composer(s): James Bailey; Rudy Clark; Kenneth Williams
Performer(s): The Main Ingredient;
and various other artists



Ok, so your hearts broke
You sit around moping, crying, crying
you say you're even thinking about dying
Well, before you do anything rash
Dig this...

Everybody plays the fool sometime
There's no exception to the rule
Listen, baby, it may be factual, may be cruel
I ain't lying, everybody plays the fool
Falling in love is such an easy thing to do
And there's no guarantee that the one you love is gonna love you
Oh, lovin' eyes they cannot see a certain person could never be
Love runs deeper than any ocean
And clouds your mind with emotion
Everybody plays the fool, sometime
They use your heart like a tool
Listen, baby, they never tell you so in school
But everybody plays the fool
And when the music starts to play
And your ability to reason is swept away
Oh, heaven on earth is all you see
You're out of touch with reality
Love runs deeper than any ocean
And clouds your mind with emontion

Everybody needs love
You're no exception to the rule
And don't make me feel like a fool

But you got 'em beat by a mile

So hold on to your heart
You can't stop it once you start

I'm In Love With Vienna
Composer(s): Johann Strauss II

Every tree in the park
Every leaf on the tree
Waves a welcome to me
When I walk in Vienna

Every tree in the park
Every leaf on the tree
Every star in the sky
Knows that I am in love

I'm in love with Vienna
I'm in love with Vienna
Every sight, every sound on the street
Is sweet and dear to me

I was born in Vienna
I was born in Vienna
With a waltz in my heart
And with a heart that has to sing
Sing about Vienna
Sing about her sights
And sing about her sounds
And sing about her nights
To her and to her life I ever will belong
For I'm a part of her song

I was born in Vienna
I was born in Vienna
With a waltz in my heart
And with a heart that has to sing
Sing about Vienna
Sing about her sights
And sing about her sounds
And sing about her nights
To her and to her life I ever will belong
For I'm a part of her song

Everybody Loves You Now


Everybody Loves You Now
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel



Baby all the lights are turned on you
Now you're in the center of the stage
Everything revolves on what you do
Ah, you are in your prime; you've come of age

And you can always have your way somehow
But everybody loves you now

You can walk away from your mistakes
You can turn your back on what you do
Just a little smile is all it takes
Yeah, you can have your cake and eat it too

Loneliness will get to you somehow
But everybody loves you now

Ah, they all want your white body
And they await your reply
Ah, but between you and me and the Staten Island ferry
So do I

All the people want to know your name
Soon there will be lines outside your door
Feelings do not matter in your game
Yeah, 'cause nothing's gonna touch you anymore

So your life is only living anyhow
And everybody loves you now

Close your eyes when you don't want to see
Stay at home when you don't want to go
Only speak to those who will agree
Yeah, and close your mind when you don't want to know

You have lost you innocence somehow
But everybody loves you now

Ah, you know that nothing lasts forever
And it's all been done before
Ah, but you ain't got the time to go to Cold Spring Harbor
No more

See how all the people gather 'round
Hey, isn't it a thrill to see them crawl?
Keep your eyes ahead and don't look down
Yeah, and lock yourself inside your sacred wall

This is what you wanted; ain't you proud?
'Cause everybody loves you now

I'm In Love With Two Sweethearts


I'm In Love With Two Sweethearts
Composer(s): Elton Box; Desmond Cox; Lewis Ilda
Performer(s): Issy Bonn; Harry James



I'm in love with two sweethearts
And they're both in love with me
I'm in love with two sweethearts
And true sweethearts they'll be
One is silver, one is gold
And I pray that we never may part
The silver is old, but just like the gold
She'll always be my sweetheart

I'm in love with two sweethearts

Sounds like a confession, doesn't it
If you'll bear with me for just a moment
I'll explain what I mean when I say that

I'm in love with two sweethearts

They're both very different, but to me

True sweethearts they'll always be

Here's a clue

One is silver while the other is gold
And I pray that we never may part

Now do you understand me when I say

That the silver is old, but just like the gold
She'll always be my sweetheart

Everybody Loves Somebody


Everybody Loves Somebody
Composer(s): Irving Taylor; Ken Lane; Sam Coslow
Performer(s): Dean Martin;
and various other artists



Everybody loves somebody sometime
Everybody falls in love somehow
Something in your kiss just told me
That sometime is now

Everybody finds somebody someplace
There's no telling where love may appear
Something in my heart keeps saying
My someplace is here

If I had it in my power
I'd arrange for every girl to have you charms
Then every minute, every hour
Everybody would find what I found in your arms

Everybody loves somebody sometime
And though my dreams were overdue
Your love made it all worth waiting
For someone like you

If I had it in my power
I'd arrange for every girl to have you charms
Then every minute, every hour
Everybody would find what I found in your arms

Everybody loves somebody sometime
And though my dreams were overdue
Your love made it all worth waiting
For someone like you

I'm In Love With A Wonderful Guy


I'm In Love With A Wonderful Guy
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II; Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Mary Martin & Mitzi Gaynor
and multiple other artists



Nellie:
I expect everyone of my crowd to make fun
Of my proud protestations of faith in romance
And they'll say I'm naïve as a babe to believe
Every fable I hear from a person in pants

Fearlessly I'll face them and argue their doubts away
Loudly I'll sing about flowers in spring
Flatly I'll stand on my little flat feet and say
Love is a grand and a beautiful thing!
I'm not ashamed to reveal
The world famous feelin' I feel

I'm as corny as Kansas in August
I'm as normal as blueberry pie
No more a smart little girl with no heart
I have found me a wonderful guy!

I am in a conventional dither
With a conventional star in my eye
And you will note there's a lump in my throat
When I speak of that wonderful guy!

I'm as trite and as gay as a daisy in May
A cliché comin' true!
I'm bromidic and bright
As a moon-happy night
Pourin' light on the dew!

I'm as corny as Kansas in August
High as a flag on the Fourth of July!
If you'll excuse an expression I use
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love with a wonderful guy!

I'm as trite and as gay as a daisy in May
A cliché comin' true!
I'm bromidic and bright

Girls:

High as a flag on the Fourth of July!

Nellie:
If you'll excuse an expression I use
I'm in love

Girls:
I'm in love

I'm In Love With A Big Blue Frog


I'm In Love With A Big Blue Frog
Composer(s): Braunstein; Noel Paul Stookey; Mary Travers; Peter Yarrow
Peter, Paul and Mary; Disney; The Muppets



I'm in love with a big blue frog
A big blue frog loves me
It's not as bad as it appears
He wears glasses and he's six foot three

Well I'm not worried about our kids
I know they'll turn out neat
They'll be great looking 'cause they'll have my face
And great swimmers 'cause they'll have his feet

I'm in love with a big blue frog
A big blue frog loves me
He's not as bad as he appears
He's got rhythm and a Ph.D.

Well I know we can make things work
He's got a good family since
His mother was a frog from Philadelphia
His daddy an enchanted prince

The neighbors are against it, it's clear to me
And it's probably clear to you
They think value on their property'll go right down
If the family next door is blue

Well I'm in love with a big blue frog
A big blue frog loves me
I've got a tattoo on my chest
That says P-h-r-o-g, that's frog to me
P-h-r-o-g

If you want to tell me what I'm supposed to know

You and I will live forever
Hold me close and tell me we can't lose

I'm In Love And He's In Dallas


I'm In Love And He's In Dallas
Composer(s): Richard Leigh; Kent Robbins
Performer(s): Tanya Tucker; Marie Osmond



Mama said
"Tell me what's wrong child
You didn't eat enough
To keep a bird alive
And you haven't said
Two words to me all evening"

She said,
"Girl, you've got your long face on
Your eyes are red
And your smile is gone"
So I broke down
And I told my mama the reason

I'm in love and he's in Dallas
I'm as blue as a girl can be
Is he down there thinkin' about my love
Or driftin' away from me?
I'm in love and he's in Dallas
But that's not the way it's s'pposed to be
Can a promise reach from Texas
All the way to Tennesee?

I really shoulda heard
From him by now
He promised he'd write
When things settled down
And send me money
For a ticket when things got better

And mama I guess
He's just workin' hard
And you know how
Those cowboys are
But it's been three weeks
And I ain't got a letter

I'm in love and he's in Dallas
I'm as blue as a girl can be
Is he down there thinkin' about my love
Or driftin' away from me?
And I'm in love and he's in Dallas
And it's not the way it's s'pposed to be
Can a promise reach from Texas
All the way to Tennesee?

Well I'm in love and he's in Dallas
I'm as blue as a girl can be
Can a promise reach from Texas
All the way to Tennesee?

Everybody Loves A Drinking Man


Everybody Loves A Drinking Man
Composer(s): Miller Anderson
Performer(s): Savoy Brown



Well my daddy never drank no whiskey
He never wet his liver with gin
My momma said she loved nobody else
But she really loved the drinking man

Respectable though my daddy was
Until he heard of mama's sin
He drank every drop of liquor in this place
And we never saw my daddy again

Because everybody loves a drinking man
Everybody loves a drinking man

Well my uncle was a real good talker
He'd talk the beak off a myna bird
Until someone dropped a glass of whiskey in his hand
He never said another word

Because everybody loves a drinking man
Everybody loves a drinking man

So understand that people will judge you
On your good and not your words
So if you're looking for a favor or two
You may likely die of thirst

Because everybody loves a drinking man
Everybody loves a drinking man
Everybody loves a drinking man
Everybody loves a drinking man
