You Was
Composer(s): Sunny Burke; Paul Francis Webster

Buddy Clarke; Bing Crosby; Doris Day; Martha Tilton
Peggy: If you were to ask me
who the sweetest one I knew was
I'd say: "you was"
Dean: If you were to ask me who my fav'rite point of view was
I'd say: "you was"
Peggy: When you're not near, my heart is inclined to waste away

My heart is a spherical lyrical miracle all the day

I'd say: "I was"
Dean: If you were to ask me who your sweet potato pie was
I'd say: "I was"
Peggy: Supposin' you paid a visit to a certain preacher

And you were to ask me who the bride and groom to be was
Peggy: I'd say: "we was"
Dean: "Me and you"
(Orchestral Break)
Peggy: I've got a heart that hollers when you're not close to me
Dean: But when you're near it sorta follers
Both: There isn't a lovelier heaven abovelier place to be
Dean: If I were to ask you who the girl I'd glorify was
Peggy: I'd say: "I was"
Peggy: If I were to ask you who the boy I'd like to tie was
Dean: I'd say: "I was"
Peggy: Supposin' you heard that I was shopping for a trousseau
Dean: Supposin' I brought you something old and something new
And you were to ask us who the bride and groom to be was
Peggy: I'd say
Both: "we was, me and you"
Peggy: You was
Dean: You was
Peggy: You was
Dean: I was
Both: We was, me and you

Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Composer(s): Lou Reed
First release by: The Velvet Underground - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
Anyone who ever had a heart
Wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who's ever played a part
Wouldn't turn around and hate it
Sweet Jane, sweet Jane, oh, sweet, sweet Jane
Waiting for Jimmy down by the alley
Waiting there for him to came home
Waiting down there on the corner
Thinking ways to get back home
Sweet Jane, sweet Jane, oh, sweet, sweet Jane
Anyone who's ever had a dream
Anyone who's ever played a part
Anyone who's gonna live lonely
Anyone who's ever stood apart
Sweet Jane, sweet Jane, oh, sweet, sweet Jane
Heavenly wine and roses
Seem to whisper to me, when you smile
nananana...
Sweet Jane, sweet Jane, oh, sweet, sweet Jane

You Wanted Someone To Play With
You Wanted Someone To Play With
Composer(s): Frank Capano;
Margie Morris; Nat Osborne; George McConnell
Performer(s): Frankie Laine
I know that you wanted someone to play with
While I wanted someone to love
And you made me feel that your love was real
The love that I always dreamed of
And then you laughed when I cried for your kisses
To me they meant heaven above
Oh, oh, oh you wanted someone to play with
While I wanted someone to love
(Oh, you wanted someone to play)
(While I wanted someone to love)
And you made me feel that your love was real
The love that I always dreamed of
And then you laughed when I cried for your kisses
To me they meant heaven above
Oh, oh, oh you wanted someone to play with
While I wanted, while I wanted someone to love

Colorado Christmas
Colorado Christmas
Composer(s): Steve Goodman
Performer(s): The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band; Steve Goodman; Petty Booka
Looking out the window of this Hollywood hotel
You'd never know that it was Christmas Eve
The billboards and the neon took the place of silver bells
And the temperature is 84 degrees
I can hear the traffic on the crowded strip below
As the palm trees poke their heads above the scene
But there's not a single reindeer and it hardly ever snows
And Santa drives a Rolls Royce limosine
But all along the Rockies you can feel it in the air
From Telluride to Boulder down below
The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere
Is a quiet Christmas morning in the Colorado snow
I remember Christmases when I was just a boy
In the morning I would run to see the tree
And the carolers on the hillside sang their songs of Christmas joy
Well, I always thought they sang them just for me
Now the sun is setting in the California sky
And I can't find the spirit anywhere
So I think it's time for me to tell Los Angeles goodbye
I'm going back home to look for Christmas there
But all along the Rockies you can feel it in the air
From Telluride to Boulder down below
The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere
Is a quiet Christmas morning in the Colorado snow

Other people come and go
They try to make it through
I have to smile and tell them no

You Turned The Tables On Me
You Turned The Tables On Me
Composer(s): Sidney D. Mitchell; Louis Alter
Performer(s): Benny Goodman;
and various other artists
I used to be the apple of your eye
I had you with me every day
But now whenever you are passing by
You're always looking the other way
It's little things like this
That prompt me to say
You turned the tables on me
And now I'm falling for you
You turned the tables on me
I can't believe that it's true
I always thought when you brought
The lovely presents you bought
Why hadn't you brought me more
But now if you'd come
I'd welcome anything from
The five and ten cent store
You used to call me the top
You put me up on a throne
You let me fall with a drop
And now I'm out on my own
But after thinking it over and over
I got what was coming to me
Just like the sting of a bee
You turned the tables on me

Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the Southland
I miss ol' Bamy once again
And I think its a sin, yeah
Well I heard Mr. Young sing about us
Well, I heard ol' Neil put us down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around anyhow
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
In Birmingham they shot the governor
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Here I come Alabama
Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Sweet home Alabama
Oh sweet home baby
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Here I come…

You Turn Me On, I'm A Radio
You Turn Me On, I'm A Radio
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
Performer(s): Joni Mitchell
If you're driving into town with a dark cloud above you
Dial in the number who's bound to love you
Oh, honey, you turn me on, I'm a radio
I'm a country station, I'm a little bit corny
I'm a wild wood flower waving for you
Broadcasting tower, waving for you
And I'm sending you out this signal here
I hope you can pick it loud and clear
I know you don't like weak women, you get bored so quick
And you don't like strong women 'cause they're hip to your tricks
It's been dirty for dirty down the line
But you know I come when you whistle, when you're loving and kind
But if you've got too many doubts
If there's no good reception for me then tune me out
Cause honey who needs the static?
It hurts the head and you wind up cracking
And the day goes dismal from "Breakfast Barney" to the sign off prayer
What a sorry face you get to wear
I'm gonna tell you again now if you're still listening there:
If you're driving into town with a dark cloud above you
Dail in the number who's bound to love you
If you're lying on the beach with the transistor going
Kick off the sandflies honey, the love's still flowing
if you head says forget it but your heart's still smoking
Call me at the station, the lines are open

Sweet Home
Composer(s): Cropper
Performer(s): Sam & Dave
You needed help and I took you in
Because I was nice enough to be your friend
But now I know from the start when you walked in
You laid the cornerstone for a home in my heart
You built a home in my heart
I'll keep you here until we part
You gave my life a brand new start
When you built your home in my heart
You knocked on my door and I let you in
Now I know we're more than friends
I'll keep you here night and day
Your home in my heart is here to stay
Sweet sweet sweet home
Sweet sweet sweet home
Sweet sweet sweet home
Never again will I be alone
A home that's filled with nothin' but sunshine
A home that's filled with nothin' but care
Sweet sweet sweet home
One that both of us can share
Sweet sweet sweet home
Sweet sweet sweet home
Sweet sweet sweet home
I'm talkin' about a sweet home the night you came ...

Sweet Hitch-Hiker
Sweet Hitch-Hiker
Composer(s): John C. Fogerty
Performer(s): Creedence Clearwater Revival
Was Ridin' along side the highway, rollin' up the country side
Thinkin' I'm the devil's heatwave, what you burn in your crazy mind?
Saw a slight distraction standin' by the road
She was smilin' there, yellow in her hair
Do you wanna, I was thinkin', would you care
Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine?
Cruisin' on thru the junction, I'm flyin' 'bout the speed of sound
Noticin' peculiar function, I ain't no roller coaster show me down
I turned away to see her, Woa! she caught my eye
But I was rollin' down, movin' too fast
Do you wanna, She was thinkin' can it last
Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine?
Was busted up along the highway, I'm the saddest ridin' fool alive
Wond'ring if you're goin' in my way, won't you give a poor boy a ride?
Here she comes a ridin', Lord, She's flyin' high
But she was rollin' down, movin' too fast
Do you wanna, She was thinkin' can I last
Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine?
Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine?
Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker

You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth
You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth
(Hot Summer Night)
Composer(s): Jim Steinman
Performer(s): Meat Loaf
Boy: On a hot summer night
would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
Girl: Will he offer me his mouth?
Boy: Yes
Girl: Will he offer me his teeth?
Boy: Yes
Girl: Will he offer me his jaws?
Boy: Yes
Girl: Will he offer me his hunger?
Boy: Yes
Girl: Again, will he offer me his hunger?
Boy: Yes!
Girl: And will he starve without me?
Boy: Yes!
Girl: And does he love me?
Boy: Yes
Girl: Yes
Boy: On a hot summer night would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
Girl: Yes
Boy: I bet you to say that to all the boys
It was a hot summer night and the beach was burning
There was fog crawling over the sand
When I listened to your heart I hear the whole world turning
I see the shooting stars
Falling through your trembling hands
You were licking your lips and your lipstick shining
I was dying just to ask for a taste
We were lying together in a silver lining
By the light of the moon
You know there's not another moment
Not another moment
Not another moment to waste
When you hold me so close that my knees grow weak
And my soul is flying high above the ground
I'm trying to speak but no matter what I do
I just can't seem to make any sound
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
And I swear it's true
I was just about to say I love you
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
And I swear it's true
I was just about to say I love you
Now my body is shaking like a wave on the water
And I guess that I'm beginning to grin
Oooh, we're finally alone and we can do what we want to
The night is young
And ain't no one gonna know where you
No one gonna know where you
No one's gonna know where you've been
You were licking your lips and your lipstick shining
I was dying just to ask for a taste
We were lying together in a silver lining
By the light of the moon
You know there's not another moment
Not another moment
Not another moment to waste
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me

Oh sweet heaven

Now that I've found you life's a song
Say babe
Where were you hiding I've been waiting so long
Sweet heaven I'm in love again
So totally in love again

I want the whole world to know
Sweet heaven I'm in love again

You Took The Words Right Out Of My Heart
Composer(s): Ralph Rainger; Leo Robin
Performer(s): Dorothy Lamour;
Benny Goodman; Henry Hall; Thelonious Monk;
Paul Motian Trio; Martha Tilton
Here in the moonlight I found my sunlight
Shining within your eyes
Now if you see me confused and dreamy
Blame it on this surprise
You took the words right out of my heart
And it was like a bolt from the blue
You took the words right out of my heart
When you said “I love you”
When you said “I love You”
I stood in a daze awhile
For I felt that way too
From the moment I saw you smile
I had the words and you in my heart
There wasn’t room enough for the two
You took the words right out of my heart
And there’s only room for you

Christmas Wishes
Christmas Wishes
Composer(s): Art Podell - Randy Sparks
Performer(s): New Christy Minstrels; Anne Murray
If I had my way this Christmas
If all I could wish would be
Of all the great wishes in a wonderful world
I'd only ask for three
And if I could have three wishes
And if the first wish came true
There'd be Peace on Earth, goodwill among all
And love in all that we do
Can you imagine a world like that?
What a wonderful world it would be
And then I would wish it would go on forever
For people like you and me
If I had my way this Christmas
And if all the others came true
My third wish would be, for now and forever
To share all my wishes with you
