She's Crazy For Leaving
She's Crazy For Leaving
Composer(s): Rodney Crowell; Guy Clark
Performer(s): Rodney Crowell; Guy Clark; Steve Wariner
Well the bus pulled away
In a roaring black cloud
While I stood in the road
And honey I hollered right out loud
Hey darlin' I love you
Hey bus driver whoa
But you can't stop a woman
When she's out of control
She's crazy for leavin'
I told her so
When the boys at the bus stop
Just said man let her go
She's crazy for leavin'
I told her so
But you can't stop a woman
When she's out of control
So I punched out my truck
On a telephone pole
Now she never looked back
She just said go driver go
Well I know I could have caught her
But I ran out of luck
She was long gone to Lufkin
By the time they cut me out of my truck
She's crazy for leavin'
I told her so
When the boys at the bus stop
Just said man let her go
She's crazy for leavin'
I told her so
But you can't stop a woman
When she's out of control
So I kicked and I cussed
That old east Texas road
I throwed rocks at my truck
Which had busted my nose
You add insult to injury
What do you get
You get a bus stop full of honkies
That don't ever forget
She's crazy for leavin'
I told her so
When the boys at the bus stop
Just said man let her go
She's crazy for leavin'
I told her so
But you can't stop a woman
When she's out of control

Say you, oh this just, has to be

One Child, One Day
One Child, One Day
Composer(s): Gerry House; Layng Martine Jr.
Performer(s): Reba McEntire
Three wise men, a shining star
A mother and a father who had come so far
How could they know about their son
And the miracle he'd become
That he held the soul of man
In his tiny little hands
One child one day
And the universe will never be the same
From Bethlehem
'Cause the angels' voices rejoicing in his name
Oh, and I believe with all my heart
That he will show the way
And you and I will meet
One child one day
A small white church, a mountainside
Cathedrals filled with music, and golden light
Oh, we gather everywhere
For the peace that's always there
For the story that is told
Of a birth so long ago
One child one day
And the universe will never be the same
From Bethlehem
'Cause the angels' voices rejoicing in his name
Oh, and I believe with all my heart
That he will show the way
And you and I will meet
One child one day

Say Yes
Say Yes
Composer(s): Nicholas Caldwell
Performer(s): The Whispers
Come here, let’s talk dear
There are things inside me, I want you to hear
I want to soak into to you like rain
Make love until my energy drains
And as lust erases all shame
You’ll scream my name
Out of pleasure not pain
If you just say yes
I will do the rest
Come here, this is your hour
Like raindrops on a flower
Come bathe in my love shower
Then let me blow your body dry
Kiss the tears from your sexy eyes
And as our passion begins to rise
We’ll lay hypnotized by the pleasure inside
If you just say yes, please say yes
I’ll do the rest
Ooh, I want to build you a dream home
Made of love not just wood and stone
Give you the deed to all that I own
Give you love beyond limit
Give you babies in our image
If you just say yes
I’ll do the rest
Have you ever been kissed
From head to toe, down your back
Around to your navel?
Well, you got that coming my sweet
And even more tricks and treats
I’m willing and able because I love you
Really, really love you
And I’m so damn proud of you baby
Say Yes
Baby please say yes!

Once Upon A Christmas
Once Upon A Christmas
Composer(s): Dolly Parton
Performer(s): Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers; Selah
Once upon a Christmas far away in Bethlehem
Mary being great with child had no place to lie down
So Joseph found a stable in which Mary had her child
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ
Once upon a Christmas in a manger far away
A King was born his palace was a manger filled with hay
His royal robe was swadding cloth a halo was his crown
Once upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem
And all the world rejoiced because the King was born at last
A saviour had been promised now it had come to pass
And the joyful news that he was born spread quickly far and wide
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ
Once upon a Christmas from the Far East wise men came
With gold and myrrh and frankincense to praise the newborn King
And shepherds left their flocks and came to see and worship him
Unce upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem
And all the world rejoiced...
All the world rejoiced...
Unce upon a Christmas far away in Bethlehem

Will There Be Any Stars?
Will There Be Any Stars?
Composer(s): John R. Sweeney; Eliza E. Hewitt
Performer(s): Alison Krauss
and multiple other artists
I am thinking today of that beautiful land
I shall reach when the sun goeth down
When through wonderful grace by my Savior I stand
Will there be any stars in my crown?
Will there be any stars, any stars in my crown
When at evening the sun goeth down?
When I wake with the blessed in the mansions of rest
Will there be any stars in my crown?
In the strength of the Lord let me labor and pray
Let me watch as a winner of souls
That bright stars may be mine in the glorious day
When His praise like the sea billow rolls
Will there be any stars, any stars in my crown
When at evening the sun goeth down?
When I wake with the blessed in the mansions of rest
Will there be any stars in my crown?
O, what joy it will be when His face I behold
Living gems at his feet to lay down
It would sweeten my bliss in the city of gold
Should there be any stars in my crown
Will there be any stars, any stars in my crown
When at evening the sun goeth down?
When I wake with the blessed in the mansions of rest
Will there be any stars in my crown?

Performer(s): Petula Clark;
and various other artists
Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle-shed
Where a mother laid her Baby
In a manger for His bed
Mary was that mother mild
Jesus Christ her little child
He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all
And His shelter was a stable
And His cradle was a stall
With the poor, and mean, and lowly
Lived on earth our Saviour holy
Jesus is our childhood's pattern
Day by day like us He grew
He was little, weak, and helpless
Tears and smiles, like us, He knew
And He feeleth for our sadness
And He shareth in our gladness
And our eyes at last shall see Him
Through His own redeeming love
For that Child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heav'n above
And He leads His children on
To the place where He is goneOnce in royal David's city

Composer(s): Jesse Winchester
Performer(s): Jesse Winchester
Hey girl say hey
Say what a watcha say
Hey girl say hey
Say what
The latest news is somewhat depressing
The latest figures are a li'l bit distressing
So what you say can we let it slide for a day darlin'
What you say
I get the word from Arthur my broker
He says "sell it all son and stick to poker"
So what you say if we let it slide for a day darlin'
What you say
What's the big rush
What's the big hurry
We've all the time in the world for the worry
We'll tell the world that we'll meet 'em on Sunday
Then we don't show up until Monday, alright
I don't sweat it that much as a rule
But lately it's been rough keeping cool
So hey what you say if we let it slide for a day darlin'
What you say
The daily grind is getting me frantic
'Cause I see myself as a laid-back romantic
So hey what you say if we let it slide for a day girl
Oh what you say

On This Day
On This Day
Composer(s): Michael Patrick Heeney; David Scarlett
Performer(s): Reba McEntire; Omaha
The kids were up before dawn this morning
Right to the Christmas tree they ran
Called up the stairs for us to hurry
Wait for this day for about as long as they could stand
While trading presents the little one asks me
Why do we have Christmas each year
I said long ago a child was born this day
He's a gift more precious then all you see here
'Cause on this day
A child was born
In the town of Bethlehem
And on this day
God sent his son to bring peace and goodwill
To all men
Oh on this day we call Christmas
We honor his name
On this day
We recall all the reasons he came
On this day
On this day
Grandma and Grandpa arrived after breakfast
The rest of the gang by noon
We spent the day watching football and breaking in toys
Helping out in the kitchen
Catching up on old news
When the dinner bell rang
We all took our places
Grandpa said who wants to say grace
Before anyone else could utter a word
Oh the little one bowed her head
And she started to say
'Cause on this day
A child was born
In the town of Bethlehem
And on this day
God sent his son to bring peace and goodwill
To all men
Oh on this day we call Christmas
We honor his name
On this day
We recall all the reasons he came
On this day
On this day
Oh on this day we call Christmas
We honor his name
On this day
We recall all the reasons he came
On this day
On this day

Say That We're Sweethearts Again
Say That We're Sweethearts Again
Composer(s): Brent
Performer(s): Dorothy Shay
Life used to be a gay thing
A filled with happiness, night and day thing
It was something to have and to hold
But it seems that your love grew cold
I never knew that our romance had ended
Until you poisoned my food
And I thought it was a lie
When you kicked me in the pie
But now I think it was rude
I never knew that our romance had finished
Until that bottle hit my head
Though I tried to be aloof
When you pushed me off the roof
I feel our romance is dead
It wouldn't have been so bad if you'd told me
That someone had taken my place
But no, you didn't even scold me
You just tried to disfigure my face
You'll never know how my poor heart is breaking
It looks so helpless, but then
Life used to be so classic
Won't you please put back that acid
And say that w're sweethearts again
Oh, how well I remember
That night in Bridgeport
That was the night you gave me the hotfoot
I thought that there was sort of a strange look in your eyes
But you smiled, and well, it made everything alright
Then there was the time we went canoeing
And you set fire to my dress
You said you pushed me overboard to put out the flame
But I never quite understood why you held me under water so long
Now, I've never met this girl who's taking my place
But I wish you all the happiness in the world
And if there's anything I can do
You know you can always reach me in room number 304
In the General Hospital
Farewell, my sweet
You'll never know how my poor heart is breaking
It looks so helpless, but then
My love can go just so far
Won't you please put down that crow bar
And say that we're sweethearts again

On Christmas Morning
On Christmas Morning
Composer(s): David Foster; Kenny Loggins
Performer(s): Kenny Loggins; Michael McDonald
Ol' December's here at last
Time for celebration
Christmas present, Christmas past
Tumble down together like the snow
What a show
Now the snowman Karen made
Is melting by the roadside
On the wind a serenade
Of children's voices singing I believe
I believe in love, I believe
On Christmas morning
You awaken with a smile
You hold me in your arms
We watch the snowflakes fly
And then you love me
And I realize how sweet a life can be
All the memories
Coming back again this year
Sentimental melodies
Surround me like an old friend
Spent a winter here with me
Silently we watched the seasons change
And they change so fast
Fade away
On Christmas morning
You awaken with a smile
You hold me in your arms
We watch the snowflakes fly
And then you love me
And I realize how sweet a life can be
All the memories will always take me back
Hold me back in time
On Christmas morning
You awaken with a smile
You hold me in your arms
We watch the snowflakes fly
And then you love me
And I realize how sweet a life can be
Oh, the memories will always take me back in time
To Christmas morning
On Christmas morning

On A Snowy Christmas Night
On A Snowy Christmas Night
Composer(s): Stanley Gelber
First recording/First release by: Elvis Presley - 1971
Midnight prayers so softly whispered in
A Cathedral's candle light
Bring the message of the holidays
On a snowy Christmas night
Holly wreaths and hidden mistletoe
Symbols of the seasons might
Joyful faces everywhere you go
On a snowy Christmas night
Give thanks for all you've been blessed with
And hold your loved ones tight
For you know the Lord's been good to you
On a snowy Christmas night
Mother Nature wears a bridal gown
For the world is dressed in white
There's a silent glow that fills the earth
On a snowy Christmas night
For you know the Lord's been good to you
On a snowy Christmas night

Why make me plead
for what I need

Why, why make me weep

cause I need you

finally found
and I need you
and I, I know what I got
and I got a lot
But baby I need you

(Alternate lines spoken by Bo Diddley and Jerome Green):
Say man
What's that boy?
I want to tell you 'bout your girlfriend
What about my girl?
Well, you don't look strong enough to take the message
I'm strong enough
I might hurt your feelings
My feelings are already hurt by being here with you
Well, I was walking down the street with your girl the other day
Ah-ha
And the wind was blowin' real hard
Is that right?
And the wind blew her hair into my face
Ah-ha
You know what else happened?
What happened?
The wind blew her hair into her face
Yeh?
And we went a little further; you wanna hear the rest of it?
I might as well
The wind blew her hair into the street!
Ok; since you told me about my girl, I'm gonna tell you about yours
I was walking down the street with your girl
Yes?
I took her home, for a drink, you know
Took her home?
Yeh, jus' for a drink
Oh
But that chick looked so ugly, she had to sneak up on the glass to get a drink of water!
You've got the nerve to call somebody ugly
why you so ugly the stork that brought you in the world oughta be arrested!
That's alright; my momma didn't have to put a sheet on my head so sleep could slip up on me!
Look-a here!
What's that?
Where are you from?
South America
What's that?
South America
You don't look like no South American to me
I'm still from South America
What part?
South Texas!
Where are your workin' boots at?
I've got 'em on
Those aren't no boots you got on; those broguettes!
Hey, look-a here!
What's that?
I've bin tryin' to figure out what you is
I already figured out what You is!
What's that?
You that thing I throw peanuts at!
Look-a here!
What's that?
You should be ashamed of yourself
Why?
Calling people ugly
I didn't call you ugly
What you say?
I said you was ruined, that's all!
You know somethin'?
What?
You look like you've bin whooped with a ugly-stick!
Hey! I ain't got nothin' to do with it, but I beat the fellah right...!

Old Sam's Christmas Pudding
Old Sam's Christmas Pudding
Composer(s): Marriott Edgar
Performer(s): Stanley Holloway
It was Christmas Day in the trenches
In Spain in Penninsular War
And Sam Small were cleaning his musket
A thing as he'd ne're done before
They'd had 'em inspected that morning
And Sam had got into disgrace
For when sergeant had looked down the barrel
A sparrow flew out in his face
The sergeant reported the matter
To Lieutenant Bird then and there
Said Lieutenant 'How very disgusting'
The Duke must be told of this 'ere'
The Duke were upset when he heard
He said, 'I'm astonished, I am
I must make a most drastic example
There'll be no Christmas pudding for Sam'
When Sam were informed of his sentence
Surprise, rooted him to the spot
'Twas much worse than he had expected
He though as he'd only be shot
And so he sat cleaning his musket
And polishing barrel and butt
While the pudding his mother had sent him
Lay there in the mud at his foot
Now the centre that Sam's lot were holding
Ran around a place called Badajoz
Where the Spaniards had put up a bastion
And ooh...! what a bastion it was
They pounded away all the morning
With canister, grape shot and ball
But the face of the bastion defied them
They made no impression at all
They started again after dinner
Bombarding as hard as they could
And the Duke brought his own private cannon
But that weren't a ha'pence o' good
The Duke said, 'Sam, put down thy musket
And help me lay this gun true'
Sam answered, 'You'd best ask your favours
From them as you give pudding to'
The Duke looked at Sam so reproachful
'And don't take it that way,' said he
'Us Generals have got to be ruthless
It hurts me more than it did thee'
Sam sniffed at these words kind of sceptic
Then looked down the Duke's private gun
And said 'We'd best put in two charges
We'll never bust bastion with one'
He tipped cannon ball out of muzzle
He took out the wadding and all
He filled barrel chock full of powder
Then picked up and replaced the ball
He took a good aim at the bastion
Then said 'Right-o, Duke, let her fly'
The cannon nigh jumped off her trunnions
And up went the bastion, sky high
The Duke, he weren't 'alf elated
He danced around trench full of glee
And said, 'Sam, for this gallant action
You can hot up your pudding for tea'
Sam looked 'round to pick up his pudding
But it wasn't there, nowhere about
In the place where he thought he had left it
Lay the cannon ball he'd just tipped out
Sam saw in a flash what 'ad happened
By an unprecedented mishap
The pudding his mother had sent him
Had blown Badajoz off map
That's why fuisilliers wear to this moment
A badge which they think's a grenade
But they're wrong... it's a brass reproduction
Of the pudding Sam's mother once made
