I got another heartbreaker on my hands
Girl I can't stand up to you and be a normal man
My body can't take it I'm fallin in love with you
You got me a doin things I wouldn't ordinarily do
Your dynamite, you got me uptight
The way you sock it to me girl, you're out of sight
Heartbreaker, heartbreaker, heartbreaker, heartbreaker
I need a heartbreaker on my body's soul
She make you feel like a king behind closed doors
When we're out on a date tonight at a show
She makes me feel like the lowest man on the totem pole
Your dynamite, you got me uptight
The way you sock it to me girl, you're out of sight
Heartbreaker, heartbreaker, heartbreaker, heartbreaker
You are a heartbreaker, the devil on wheels
Whatever you got, you sure make me feel real
I'll keep on hangin out, hangin in as long as I can
I can't help myself, here I go again
Your dynamite, you got me uptight
The way you sock it to me girl, you're out of sight
Heartbreaker, heartbreaker, heartbreaker, heartbreaker
My heartbreaker, heartbreaker ...

Performer(s): Lesley Gore; Cocktail Slippers
She don't know it she's a lucky girl
Got the best thing in the whole wide world
Got a love that's hard to find
Got the boy I wish was mine
But, she's a fool

She has his love but treats him cruel...
He don't know it but she cheats on him
With a boy like that it's such a sin..
I would never be untrue
I would never make him blue..
But, she's a fool
She's a fool
She has his love but treats him cruel...
I know there is a gonna come a day
He will tell her girl be on your way
Maybe then he'll turn to me
Then how happy I will be, that..

She has his love but treats him cruel...

Shepherd Serenade
Shepherd Serenade
Composer(s): Rob Goellner; Fred Spielman
Performer(s): Bing Crosby; Ken Griffin; Eric Winstone
I heard a lonely shepherd play
It was a haunting melody
I heard the music clearly saying
That he was happy as could be
He played and he played
The world was forgotten
Like castles in air
My every care began to fade
If he would only play forever
This little shepherd serenade
He played and he played
The world was forgotten
Like castles in air
My every care began to fade
If he would only play forever
This little shepherd serenade
This little shepherd serenade

Shepherd Of The Hills
Shepherd Of The Hills
Composer(s): Horatio Nicholls; Edgar Leslie
Performer(s): Jack Hylton
When day is breaking and birds are awaking
I'm blue when the sun starts to beam
Night-time a-stealing is much more appealing
As I lay me down to dream
I see my homeland where love is supreme....
Shepherd of the hills, I hear you calling
Shepherd of the hills, when twilight falls
I seem to picture the black sheep returning
I miss the fold, and my sad heart is yearning
For the daffodils and crimson clover
By the rocks and rills I long to roam
Back to the near ones and dear ones who love me
Shepherd of the hills, I'm coming home
Over the highway as I'm wending my way
I look toward the house in the lane
There with her knitting I see someone sitting
She looks through the window pane
She knows her waiting has not been in vain....
Shepherd of the hills, I hear you calling
Shepherd of the hills, when twilight falls
I seem to picture the black sheep returning
I miss the fold, and my sad heart is yearning
For the daffodils and crimson clover
By the rocks and rills I long to roam
Back to the near ones and dear ones who love me
Shepherd of the hills, I'm coming home

Tender Feeling
(Adapted from: Shenandoah - 1917)
Composer(s): Bill Giant; Bernie Baum; Florence Kaye
Performer(s): Elvis Presley - 1963/1964
I can't conceal the tender feeling
Now that you are close to me
I look at you with tender feeling
And can't help kiss you tenderly
I offer you a true devotion
All life through my love I vow
For this is real, this sweet emotion
This tender feeling I have now
Somehow I knew from the moment our lips first met
Youd be the girl I could never forget
No other love could be appealing
I loved you right from the start
And with each kiss I'll keep revealing
The tender feeling in my heart

In the shelter of your eyes
I have finally learned the song
It took so long to realize

But this feeling isn't wrong

It's good to be where I belong
And I'm, gonna stay,
right here 'cause I'm
In rhythm with your mind
Tune out the world
and rest my head
'Neath the shelter of your eyes
Words are only what they say
But this feeling isn't wrong
I'm so glad I found my way
It's good to be where I belong
And I'm, gonna stay
right here 'cause I'm
In rhythm with your mind
Tune out the world
and rest my head

Sheep
Sheep
Composer(s): Roger Waters
First release by: Pink Floyd - 1977
Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air
You better watch out
There may be dogs about
I've looked over Jordan, and I have seen
Things are not what they seem
What do you get for pretending the danger's not real
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel
What a surprise!
A look of terminal shock in your eyes
Now things are really what they seem
No, this is no bad dream
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by
With bright knives He releaseth my soul
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places
He converteth me to lamb cutlets
For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger
When cometh the day we lowly ones
Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
Master the art of karate
Lo, we shall rise up
And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water
Bleating and babbling I fell on his neck with a scream
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream
Have you heard the news?
The dogs are dead!
You better stay home
And do as you're told
Get out of the road if you want to grow old

She'd Rather Be Homeless
She'd Rather Be Homeless
Composer(s): Anne Dailey; Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Old Dogs; Marley's Ghost
It was our twenty-fifth anniversary
And I was watching the Super Bowl
When suddenly she started cursing me
Hell, I almost dropped my remote control
And she said "That's that!" and grabbed her hat
And headed out into the snow
And that was almost two long years ago....
Now see her shuffling down the street
Combat boots on her dainty feet
Pushing her belongings in a cart from the A&P
See her bumming cigarettes,
On the sidewalk where she sits
Lord, she'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me
She'd rather be sleeping in some doorway
Than lolling in the lap of luxury
And when the cold wind starts to blow
Lord, it hurts me so to know
She'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me
She said all my friends were dumb
And she called me "Yuppee scum!"
She said she didn't give a damn 'bout my BMW or my AT&T
She said to take these credit cards of mine,
And stick'm where the sun don't shine
Cause she'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me
I see her sitting on her full length mink
And as I walk by she winks
Saying "Spare some change for a lady, a lady who's finally free"
She don't want my bonds and stocks,
Living in her cardboard box
Oh, She'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me
She'd rather eat soup down at the shelter
Than at the Country Club sipping fine Chablis
And as I throw her a dime
Lord, it breaks this heart of mine to know
She'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me
Yes, she'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me

She Works Hard For The Money
Composer(s): Donna Summer; Michael Omartian
First release by: Donna Summer - 1983
She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
Onetta here in the corner stand and wonders where she is
And it's strange to her, some people seem to have everything
9 am on the hour hand and she's waiting for the bell
And she's looking real pretty
She's waiting for her clientele
She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
Twentyeight years have come and gone
And she's seen a lot of tears of the ones who come in
They really seem to need her there
It's a sacrifice working day to day
For little money just tips for pay
But it's worth it all just to hear them say that they care
She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
She already knows she's seen her bad times
She already knows these are the good times
She'll never sell out, she never will, not for a dollar bill
She works haaaaard.........
She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right

She Wore A Yellow Ribbon
She Wore A Yellow Ribbon
Composer(s): M. Ottner; Leroy Parker; Traditional
Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters; Russ Morgan
Round her neck she wore a yellow ribbon
She wore it in the winter
And the merry month of May
When I asked her
Why the yellow ribbon?
She said
It’s for my lover who is far far away
Far away, far away, far away, far away
She said
It’s for my lover who is far far away
Far away, far away, far away, far away
She said
It’s for my lover who is far far away
When, at first, she met a winsome Johnny
He wasn’t sure her heart was pure
Her eyes were far too bold
So, round her neck
He tied a yellow ribbon
He tied a yellow ribbon
‘Cause it matched her hair of gold
Hair of gold, hair of gold
He tied a yellow ribbon
‘Cause it matched her hair of gold
Hair of gold, hair of gold
He tied a yellow ribbon
For her eyes were far too bold
If, perchance, you spy a lovely maiden
And by her side, there walks with pride
A Johnny strong and gay
And round her neck there is a yellow ribbon
No matter how you love her
Please stay far far away
Far away, far away, far away, far away
No matter how you love her
Please stay far far away
Far away, far away, far away, far away
Her love is for another
So stay far far away
Far far away
Round her neck she wore a yellow ribbon
She wore it in the winter
And the merry month of May
When I asked her
Why the yellow ribbon?
She said
It’s for my lover who is far far away
Far away, far away, far away, far away
She said
It’s for my lover who is far far away
Far away, far away, far away, far away
She said
It’s for my lover who is far far away
Far far away
For her lover who is far far away
Round her neck she wore a yellow ribbon
She wore it in the winter
And the merry month of May
When I asked her
Why the yellow ribbon?
She said
It’s for my lover who is far far away
Far away, far away, far away, far away
She said
It’s for my lover who is far far away
