Schreeuw In De Nacht


Schreeuw In De Nacht
Performer(s): Liliane Saint-Pierre



Er klinkt een schreeuw in de nacht
Een kreet zo heel onverwacht
Geen venster dat opengaat
Niets beweegt, er is niets hier meer op straat

Het donker grijpt om me heen
M'n lichaam is als versteend
En heel de wereld vergaat
Als ik in m'n hart de angst binnenlaat

Akelige dingen
Zijn me aan 't beklimmen
Ik weet niet eens
Waarom ik hier loop

Harde koude woorden
Als valse akkoorden
Ik weet niet eens
Wat ik nu ontloop

Ik voel een schreeuw in m'n lijf
Een daarmee weet ik geen blijf
Zo onbeholpen en klein
Want ik had zo graag bij jou willen zijn

Laat mij de wijn doen
Dingen die pijn doen
Ik kan het niet
Ik kan het niet aan

De vertrouwde woorden
Vaak m'n toevlucht hoorde
Nu dynamiet
In rook opgegaan

Er klinkt een schreeuw in de nacht
Een kreet zo heel onverwacht
Die komt gewoon uit m'n lijf
Waarin ik verscheurd en dood achterblijf

Er klinkt een schreeuw in de nacht
Een kreet zo heel onverwacht
Die komt gewoon uit m'n lijf
Waarin ik verscheurd en dood achterblijf

Oooh, er klinkt een schreeuw in de nacht
Een kreet zo heel onverwacht
Oooh, die komt gewoon uit m'n lijf
Waarin ik verscheurd en dood achterblijf

Er klinkt een schreeuw in de nacht
Er klinkt een schreeuw in de nacht

Sailing Home For Christmas


Sailing Home For Christmas
Composer(s): Lewis Anderson
Performer(s): Doug Stone


They looked out their windows
At the ocean that surrounds them
In the service of their country
Sailin' to a foreign shore
Tomorrow will be Christmas
And they wish that they could be home
Their wives and children need them
But their country needs them more

But, they'll be sailin' home for Christmas
Sailin' home for Christmas
Where a welcome candle in the window gleams
They'll be sailin' home for Christmas
Sailin' home for Christmas
Sailin' home for Christmas in their dreams

Tomorrow they'll serve turkey
And they'll sing the Christmas carols
They'll talk about their family
Their mothers and their sons
It's the strangest contradiction
Singin' songs of peace and sharing
As they man the battle weapons
Hopin' war will never come

But, they'll be sailin' home for Christmas
Sailin' home for Christmas
Where a welcome candle in the window gleams
They'll be sailin' home for Christmas
Sailin' home for Christmas
Sailin' home for Christmas in their dreams

Maybe someday they won't have to
Be there anymore
When they all start to live the things
We have Christmas for

They'll be sailin' home for Christmas
Sailin' home for Christmas
Where a welcome candle in the window gleams
They'll be sailin' home for Christmas
Sailin' home for Christmas
Sailin' home for Christmas in their dreams

School's Out


School's Out
Composer(s): Alice Cooper; Michael Bruce; Glen Buxton; Dennis Dunawa; Neal Smith
First release by: Alice Cooper - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists



Well, we got no choice
All the girls and boys
Makin' all that noise
'Cause they found new toys
Well, we can't salute ya
Can't find a flag
If that don't suit ya
That's a drag

School's out for summer
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces

No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks

Well, we got no class
And we got no principles
And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes

School's out for summer
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces

No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks
Out for summer
Out 'til fall
We might not go back at all

School's out forever
School's out for summer
School's out with fever
School's out completely

Rusty Chevrolet


Rusty Chevrolet
Composer(s): Jim DeCaire; Joe Potila
Performer(s): Da Yoopers; The Deer Hunters


Dashing through the snow in my rusty Chevrolet
Down the road I go, sliding all the way
I need new piston rings
I need some new snow tires
My car is held together by a piece of chicken wire!

Oh, rust and smoke, the heater's broke, the door just blew away
I light a match to see the dash and then I start to pray-ay
The frame is bent, the muffler went, the radio's okay
Oh, what fun it is to drive this rusty Chevrolet!

I went to IGA, to get some Christmas cheer
I just passed up my left front tire and it's gettin' hard to steer
Speeding down the highway, right past the county cops
I have to drag my swampers just to get the car to stop

Oh, rust and smoke, the heater's broke, the door just blew away
I light a match to see the dash and then I start to pray-ay
The frame is bent, the muffler went, the radio's okay
Oh, what fun it is to drive this rusty Chevrolet!

Bouncing through the snowdrifts in a big, blue cloud of smoke
People laugh as I drive by; I wonder what's the joke!
I have to get to Wal-Mart to pick up my layaway
Cause Santa's comin' soon in his big, old, rusty sleigh!

Oh, rust and smoke, the heater's broke, the door just blew away
I light a match to see the dash and then I start to pray-ay
The frame is bent, the muffler went, the radio's okay
Oh, what fun it is to drive this rusttttttttty Chevroooooooleeeeeet!

School Teacher


School Teacher
Composer(s): Larry Cansler; Michael Martin Murphey
Performer(s): Kenny Rogers & The First Edition



Open the windows, Virginia
Let the wind blow the papers away
Don't know if you've got it in ya'
Just like a dunce in the eighth grade
You'll soon be an old maid
School teacher, rule creature, cool creature, school teacher

You're a beginner, Virginia
Simple arithmetic shows a delay
Do all the sums deep within 'ya
Oh yes, and then assign the grade
You'll soon be an old maid
School teacher, rule creature, cool creature, school teacher

Your soul's in limbo, Virginia
You found a formula for your mistakes
God doesn't know where to send 'ya
The Bible's black opaque keepsakes
When your red hair's turning gray
School teacher, rule creature, cool creature, school teacher

Run Rudolph Run


Run Rudolph Run Composer(s): Johnny Marks; Marvin Lee Broadie First release by: Chuck Berry - 1958 Covered by multiple other artists



Out of all the reindeer you know you're the mastermind
Run, run Rudolph, Randalph's not too far behind
Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town
Randalph he can hurry, he can take the freeway down
And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a merry-go-round

Said Santa to a boy child "What have you been longing for?"
"All I want for Christmas is a Rock and Roll electric guitar"
And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a shooting star

Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town
Can't you make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a merry-go-round

Said Santa to a girl child "What would you like most to get?"
"I want a little baby doll that can cry, scream and wet"
And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a Saber jet

Run, run Rudolph, run, run Rudolph, a running like a son-of-a-gun

School Love


School Love
Composer(s): Lynsey De Paul; Barry Blue
Performer(s): Barry Blue



School love - school love

The only thing you learn in school is ABC
But all I wanna know about is you and me
I went and told the teacher 'bout the thing we found
But all she said to me is that you're out of bounds in

School love, school love
Even though we broke the rule
I only wanna be ruled in
School love, school love
You an' I will be together, end-of-term until forever

They never ever teach you in history
And yet we seem to learn about it easily
I went and wrote 'I love you' on the classroom wall
I wanted ev'ry one to know the way to fall in

School love, school love
Even though we broke the rule
I only wanna be ruled in
School love, school love
You and I will be together, end-of-term until forever

After school, oh, I'll be walkin' you home
Just me and you - my very own - very own

School love, school love ....
Yeah!...

Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer


Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer Composer(s): Johnny Marks First release by: Gene Autry & The Pinafores - 1949 Covered by multiple other artists



You know Dasher and Dancer
And Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid
And Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw him
You would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Play in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then all the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history!

Round & Round The Christmas Tree


Round & Round The Christmas Tree
Composer(s): Redd Evans; Jay Livingston
Performer(s): Bing Crosby


Round and round the Christmas tree
Presents hanging there for you and me
Lights all shining merrily
Christmas a week away

A-ring around the Christmas tree
Children making up a melody
Grown-ups laughing happily
Christmas a day away

Wishing, hoping, boxes to open
But we agree it's right to wait
Turkey and dressing, after the blessing
And there's just a night to wait

Round and round the Christmas tree
Opening presents with the family
One for you and two for me
Oh what a Christmas Day

Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong,
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Round and round the Christmas tree
Presents hanging there for you and me
Lights all shining merrily
Christmas a week away

Lights all shining merrily
Christmas a week away
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Wishing, hoping, boxes to open
But we agree it's right to wait
Turkey and dressing, after the blessing
And there's just a night to wait

Round and round the Christmas tree
Opening presents with the family
One for you and two for me
Oh what a Christmas Day
Oh what a Christmas Day
Oh what a Christmas Day
Oh what a Christmas Day
Oh what a Christmas Day

School Days (When We Were A Couple Of Kids)


School Days (When We Were A Couple Of Kids)
Composer(s): Will Cobb; Gus Edwards
Performer(s): Byron G. Harlan
and multiple other artists



Nothing to do, Nellie Darling
Nothing to do you say
Let's take a trip on memory's ship
Back to the bygone days
Sail to the old village school house
Anchor outside the school door
Look in and see, there's you and there's me
A couple of kids once more

School days, school days
Dear old golden rule days
Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic
Taught to the tune of the hickory stick
You were my queen in calico
I was your bashful barefoot beau
And you wrote on my slate, "I love you, Joe"
When we were a couple of kids

'Member the hill, Nellie Darling
And the oak tree that grew on its brow
They've built forty storeys upon that old hill
And the oak's an old chestnut now
'Member the meadows so green, dear
So fragrant with clover and maize
Into new city lots and preferred bus'ness plots
They've cut them up since those days

School days, school days
Dear old golden rule days
Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic
Taught to the tune of the hickory stick
You were my queen in calico
I was your bashful barefoot beau
And you wrote on my slate, "I love you, Joe"
When we were a couple of kids

The Christmas Song


The Christmas Song Composer(s): Mel Tormé; Robert Wells First release by: The King Cole Trio - 1946 Covered by multiple other artists



Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you!

Up in the mornin' and out to school
The teacher is teachin' the Golden Rule
American history and practical math
You study' em hard and hopin' to pass
Workin' your fingers right down to the bone
And the guy behind you won't leave you alone

Ring ring goes the bell
The cook in the lunchroom's ready to sell
You're lucky if you can find a seat
You're fortunate if you have time to eat
Back in the classroom open you books
Gee but the teacher don't know
How mean she looks

Soon as three o'clock rolls around
You finally lay your burden down
Close up your books, get out of your seat

Down the halls and into the street
Up to the corner and 'round the bend
Right to the juke joint you go in

Drop the coin right into the slot
You gotta hear something that's really hot

With the one you love you're makin' romance
All day long you been
Wantin' to dance
Feelin' the music from head to toe
'Round and 'round and 'round you go

Drop the coin right into the slot
You gotta hear something that's really hot

Hail, hail rock'n'roll
Deliver me from the days of old
Long live rock'n'roll
The beat of the drum is loud and bold
Rock rock rock'n'roll
The feelin' is there body and soul

Op de snelweg in een auto ko-j niet an de gang
In de file mo-j wachten, wachten duurt lang

As ik pissen mot as ik pissen mot
Zit de deur op slot zit de deur op slot
A'k met een zeer gebit a'k met een zeer gebit
Op hete koalen zit op hete koalen zit
Mot dat now echt zo?
Ik bun zo bang
Ik zit te bibberen en te wachten
Wachten duurt lang

Elk uur van de dag, van de avond en de nach
Elke minuut, elk kwartier, gemartel en gemier
Plak die ellende achter het behang
Loat die moar wachten, wachten duurt lang
Loat die moar wachten, wachten duurt lang
Loat die moar wachten, wachten duurt lang...

Rockin' around the Christmas tree at the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see ev'ry couple tries to stop

School Boy Crush


School Boy Crush
Composer(s): Roger Ball; Malcolm Duncan; Steve Ferrone; Alan Gorrie; Onnie McIntyre; Hamish Stuart
Performer(s): Average White Band



Meet me in the playground at a quarter to 4
Wait till everybody's long gone
There must be so many things that we could explore
Hey, baby, maybe I can walk you home

Now if it stars to rain (It starts to rain) we can take some shelter
I'd like to hold your little hand, oh
My head is spinning like a helter-skelter
We'll get to know each other if we can

She said, "Hey, wait a minute"
Hold on
She said, "Hey, just a little bit"
Hold on

Whenever I try to think of what it feels like to feel it
For the first time and was it really such a thrill
She said, "Look, boy, but don't you touch"
That ain't much, it's only a school boy crush

Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah, badda, badda, yeah, yeah, yeah

Got to keep this secret, can't take no chance
Don't want nobody else to know
There is nothing wrong with trying to start a romance
But we should take it nice and slow

If we play it cool (If we play it cool) it'll be alright
Don't let the teacher see us talking, yeah
But after school we can be out of sight
Everybody's gonna think we just gone walking

She said, "Hey, just wait a minute"
Hold on
She said, "Hey, just a little bit now"
Hold on

Whenever I try to think of what it feels like to feel it
For the first time is it really such a thrill
She said, "Look, boy, but don't you touch"
That ain't much, it's only a school boy crush

She said, "Look, boy, but don't you touch"
That ain't much, it's only a school boy crush
She said, "Look, boy, but don't you touch"
That ain't much, it's only a school boy crush

Oh, hoo

A-B-C-D-E-F-G
Now that you're the one for me
School boy crush
Hey, hey…
Only a school boy crush

2-3-4-5-6-7
All good children got to heaven
Only a school boy crush
Ooh…ooh…
Only a school boy crush, woo

Rock & Roll Christmas

Have yourself a rock & roll Christmas
Like the good ones that used to be
Put a shoo bop de bop and an ooh wah baby
Under the Christmas tree

And a shoobee doo wah
And let's get together singin'
Four part harmony
Just remember Santa Claus
He likes rock & roll
Just like you and me

Have yourself a rock & roll Christmas
Do all the dances we used to do
You can start the motion with the loco-motion
Do the twist and the boogaloo

Do the mashed potato and the watusi
You can dance until you wear out your shoes
Put your troubles away for this holiday
Don't let Santa catch you singin' the blues

Have yourself a rock & roll Christmas
Keep the music goin' all night long
Dance the night away until Santa's sleigh
Brings you more of your favorite songs

There'll be rockin' and boppin'
There'll be no stoppin'
Just the way life used to be
Just remember Santa Claus
He likes rock & roll
Just like you and me

Have yourself a rock & roll Christmas
Have yourself a rock & roll Christmas
Have yourself a rock & roll Christmas

School


School
Composer(s): Rick Davies; Roger Hodgson
Performer(s): Supertramp



I can see you in the morning when you go to school
Don't forget your books, you know you've got to learn the golden rule
Teacher tells you stop your play and get on with your work
And be like Johnnie - too-good, well don't you know he never shirks - he's coming along!

After School is over you're playing in the park
Don't be out too late, don't let it get too dark
They tell you not to hang around and learn what life's about
And grow up just like them - won't you let it work it out - and you're full of doubt

Don't do this and don't do that
What are they trying to do?
Make a good boy of you
Do they know where it's at?
Don't criticise, they're old and wise
Do as they tell you to
Don't want the devil to
Come out and put your eyes

Maybe I'm mistaken expecting you to fight
Or maybe I'm just crazy, I don't know wrong from right
But while I am still living, I've just got this to say
It's always up to you if you want to be that
want to see that
want to see that way
you're coming along!

River (Joni Mitchell)


River Composer(s): Joni Mitchell First release by: Joni Mitchell - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists



It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot of money
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

Oh I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me
He put me at ease
Lord, he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

Oh I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
