You're An Old Smoothie
You're An Old Smoothie
Composer(s): Buddy De Sylva
Richard Whiting; Nacio Herb Brown
Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald;
and various other artists
You're an old smoothie
I'm an old softie
I'm just like putty
In the hands of a girl like you
You're an old meanie
I'm a big boobie
I just go nutty
In the hands of a girl like you
Poor me, you played me for a sap
Poor you, you thought you'd laid a trap
Well dear, I think it's time you knew
You've done just what I wanted you to
Silly old smoothie
Crafty old softie
I'll stick like putty
To the hand of a girl like you

A Four-Legged Friend
A Four-Legged Friend
Composer(s): Jack Brooks
Performer(s): Roy Rogers
and multiple other artists
A four-legged friend, a four-legged friend
He'll never let you down
He's honest and faithful right up to the end
That wonderful one-two-three-four-legged friend
A woman's like cactus and cactus can hurt
'Cause she's just a tight-waisted winky-eyed flirt
She'll soon have your land and your pride and your gold
And bury you deep long before you grow old
A four-legged friend, a four-legged friend
He'll never let you down
He's honest and faithful right up to the end
That wonderful one-two-three-four-legged friend
A two legged hombre is worthless as sand
He'll smile like a saint with a gun in his hand
He'll promise to stick by your side like a pal
But he'll also promise the same to your gal
A four-legged friend, a four-legged friend
He'll never let you down
He's honest and faithful right up to the end
That wonderful one-two-three-four-legged friend
Who carries your burden, who carries your load
On tumbleweed land or a long dusty road
Who asks you no questions, who tells you no lies
That four-legged friend with the two honest eyes
A four-legged friend, a four-legged friend
He'll never let you down
He's honest and faithful right up to the end
That wonderful four-legged friend
That wonderful one-two-three-four-legged friend

You're An Education
You're An Education
Composer(s): Al Dubin; Harry Warren
Performer(s): Michael Feinstein;
Bob Crosby; Three Symphonettes
Must I memorise a book
To be considered wise
When I can look into your eyes
Literature is such a bore
And mathematics too
I'd much prefer to learn about you....
You're the only kind of knowledge
They don't teach at any college
You're an education in yourself
There are poems and romances
In the glamour of your glances
You're an education in yourself
Of all the famous dates in hist'ry
I recall but a few
The fourth of July
And my dates with you
You've a kiss that's scientific
Tho' it's tender, it's terrific
You're an education in yourself
You're the kind of mental training
I could take without complaining
You're an education in yourself
Intricate as economics
Simple as the Sunday comics
You're an education in yourself
And there are geometric figures
In your beautiful curves
They're good on the eyes
But bad on the nerves
You are my encycloped'yuh
Let me take you home and read yuh
You're an education in yourself

A Foto Da Capa
A Foto Da Capa
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
O retrato do artista quando moço
Não é promissora, cândida pintura
É a figura do larápio rastaqüera
Numa foto que não era para capa
Uma pose para câmera tão dura
Cujo foco toda lírica solapa
Era rala a luz naquele calabouço
Do talento a clarabóia se tampara
E o poeta que ele sempre se soubera
Claramente não mirava algum futuro
Via o tira da sinistra que rosnara
E o fotógrafo frontal batendo a chapa
É uma foto que não era para capa
Era a mera contracara, a face obscura
O retrato da paúra quando o cara
Se prepara para dar a cara a tapa

You're All Woman
You're All Woman
Composer(s): Clarke; Vale; Hicks
Performer(s): The Hollies
I'm uptight, gotta give a little
slow down, take my time
Ease up, learn to relax a little
So close, so close
I'm shakin', shakin' with expectation
Breathless, outta time
Lips dry, feels like my heart is burstin'
So close, so close
Smooth as silk but sharp as a knife
Hotter than hell but cooler than ice
Hard as steel but soft with your touch
Take luck to the limit but don't ask too much
You're all woman, you're all woman
You're all woman
So close, so close
To losing my mind
Panic, I'm on the verge of breakdown
Half crazed, lost control, need you to kill my affection
So close, so close
Helpless, holding out for rescue
Gunned down, one more time
Breakthrough, gotta try to reach you
So close, so close
chorus
Woman, woman
Hard as steel but soft with your touch
Take luck to the limit but don't ask too much
You're all woman, you're all woman
You're all woman
So close, so close
To losing my woman
Woman, you're all woman
So close, so close
To losing my woman
You're all woman, you're all woman

A Fool's Fantasy
A Fool's Fantasy
Composer(s): Goldy McJohn
Performer(s): Steppenwolf
Slip away with me
Let our ears be free
Live a life of love
There's no need to care
Sharin' it together
Whatcha got to lose?
In love and life, it's all you get
It's easy to choose
There's a way for love
We can make it work
There's a way for love
A fool's fantasy
Is that so much to ask for?
Everything we're dreamed about
Could be ours forevermore
Take a chance on freedom
Come take a chance on me
We'll drown ourselves in pleasure
Just happy to be
Without inhibitions and nothing to fear
We'll while away the summer sun
Nibblin' on an ear

You're All Too Ugly Tonight
You're All Too Ugly Tonight
Composer(s): Buzz Cason; Dan Penn
Performer(s): Jerry Lee Lewis
Yeah you're all too ugly tonight
Why there ain't a decent one in sight
You won't win no ribbon
You can't win no prize
You're all too ugly tonight
You're all as ugly you can't believe
Go ahead, get up off your old rusty knees
The answer is no I gotta better place to go
You're all too ugly tonight
So mama put on another pot of coffee
Put those little babies to bed
You know the crazies and the freaks
You won't believe whats on the streets
I'm comming on home to you instead!
'Cause the're all too ugly tonight
Why there ain't a decent one in sight
You can't win no ribbon
No way to win no prize
You're all too ugly tonight
So put on another pot of coffee
Put those precious babies to bed
Why the crazies and the freaks
Girl you won't believe whats on the streets
I'm comming on home mama to you instead!
'Cause the're all as ugly as sin
Why even dracula wouldn't be caught with on them!
Outstanding in the field
Of things that are unreal
It's all too ugly tonight
It's all too ugly tonight!

A Fool Says
A Fool Says
Composer(s): Pete Townshend
Performer(s): Pete Townshend
Hogarth:
A fool
Says love is like a melody
Or something like a symphony
But this is cacophony
Never changing key
We
We can't fool our audience
We put up such a poor pretense
Don't hide a shred of evidence
We have no defense
Woodland Creatures:
A fool says
Love is foolproof
Hogarth:
A fool says . . . .
We
We can't fool our audience
We put up such a poor pretense
Don't hide a shred of evidence
We have no defense
Woodland Creatures:
A fool says
Love is foolproof

You're All The World To Me
You're All The World To Me
Composer(s): Burton Lane; Alan Jay Lerner
Performer(s): Fred Astaire;
and various other artists
Everywhere that beauty glows, you are
Everywhere an orchid grows, you are
Everything that's young and gay, brighter than a holiday
Everywhere the angels fly, you are
You're like Paris in April and May
You're New York on a silvery day
A Swiss alp as the sun grows fainter
You're Loch Lomond when Autumn is the painter
You're moonlight on a night in Capri
And Cape Cod looking out at the sea
You're all places that leave me breathless
And no wonder you're all the world to me
You're Lake Como when dawn is a glow
You're Sun Valley right after a snow
A museum, a Persian palace
You're my shining Aurora Borealis
You're like Christmas at home by a tree
The blue calm of a tropical sea
You're all places that leave me breathless
And no wonder, you're all the world to me

A Fool No More
A Fool No More
Composer(s): Peter Green
Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac; Kim Lembo
Yes, I've packed up my clothes
I'm moving away from your door
Lord, I've packed up my clothes
Said, I'm moving away from your door
I've been your fool for so long
Babe, I won't play that fool no more
I gave you all my money
I work as hard as I can
I came home early one morning
I found you with another man
Babe, I've packed up my clothes
I'm moving away from your door
Said, I've been your fool for so long
And Lord, I won't play that fool no more
So good-bye baby
you don't even care
Yes, I had a love so strong for you
but you treat me so unfair
Said, I've packed up my clothes
I'm moving away from your door
You know, I've been your fool for so long
And babe, I won't play that fool no more

The New Cars; The Smashing Pumpkins

You're all I've got tonight
I need you tonight
I don't care if you use me again
I don't care if you abuse me again
You can make me I don't care
You can fake me I don't care
You can love me just about anywhere
It's alright

You don't have to make believe it's you

A Fool In Love
A Fool In Love
Composer(s): Randy Newman
Performer(s): Randy Newman
Look at the light coming over me
Show me a man who's gentle and kind
And I’ll show you a loser
Now, show me a man who takes what he wants
Ohhhhhhhhh how exciting
Ohhhhhhhhh how exciting
So the poet sings
When you’re a fool in love
And nothing goes the way you plan
And no one cares and no one understands
That you’re a fool and you’re in love
Never another spring for you,
Never a robin to sing for you,
You’re out there on your own
When you’re a fool in love
When you’re a fool in love
Seems like the skies are always grey
You turn around there's someone in your way
And it’s you, and you’re in love
Sometimes you think that your luck has changed
And a rainbow explodes ’cross the sky
But when you’re a fool in love
You’ll be a fool ’til the day you die

You're All I Need To Get By
You're All I Need To Get By
Composer(s): Nickolas Ashford
Performer(s): Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell;
and various other artists
You're all I need to get by
Like the sweet morning dew, I took one look at you
And it was plain to see
you were my destiny
With my arms open wide
I threw away my pride
I'll sacrifice for you
Dedicate my life for you
I will go where you lead
Always there in time of need
And when I lose my will
You'll be there to push me up the hill
There's no, no looking back for us
We got love sure 'nough, that's enough
You're all
You're
All I need to get by
All, you're all I want to strive for and do a little more
All, all the joys under the sun wrapped up into one
You're all
You're all I need to get by
You're all I need to get by
Like an eagle protects his nest, for you I'll do my best
Stand by you like a tree, dare anybody to try and move me
Darling in you I found
Strength where I was torn down
Don't know what's in store but together we can open any door
Just to do what's good for you and inspire you a little higher
I know you can make a man out of a soul that didn't have a goal
Cause we, we got the right foundation and with love and determination
You're all
You're All I need to get by
All, you're all I want to strive for and do a little more
All, all the joys under the sun wrapped up into one
You're all
You're all I need to get by

A Fool For Your Stockings
Composer(s): Frank Beard - Billy Gibbons - Dusty Hill
First release by: ZZ Top - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists
Is it you again outside
Just banging on the front door?
You say you had enough
Now you're coming' back for more
But that's alright
I said that that's alright
I may not want to admit it
I'm just a fool for your stockings I believe
Now I don't mind when you send money
and bring your girlfriends with you
But how could one be so thoughtless to try
and handle less than two?
But that's alright
I said that that's alright, baby
I may not want to admit it
I'm just a fool for your stockings I believe
Now I'm tellin' everybody
It seems too good to be true
Sweet things can always get sweeter
I know mine did, how about you?
Yes, it's alright
I said, yes it is, that's alright
I may not want to admit it
I'm just a fool for your stockings I believe

Performer(s): Marvin Gaye;
and various other artists
You are so wonderful
Being near you is all
That I'm living for
You've shown me more kindness
In little ways
Then I've ever known
In all my days
Tell me we'll stay together
Let me love your forever
'Cause you're a wonderful one
You're a wonderful one
In you, there is a rare quality
Your love baby
It means the world to me
For me, you're always concerned
And you ask nothing in return
You're really more than I deserve
From my heart I mean these words
You're a wonderful one
You're a wonderful one
You're really more than I deserve
From my heart I mean these words
You're a wonderful one
You're a wonderful one
Sometimes I'm up
Oh, sometimes I'm down
But your love
You're always around
Words of confidence
You speak to me
Baby, then you place a tender kiss
on my cheek
It makes my burden
A little bit lighter
It makes my life
A little bit brighter
'Cause you're a wonderful one
You're a wonderful one

You’re a sweetheart, if there ever was one

If there ever was one, it’s you

A Fond Kiss
A Fond Kiss
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Voice Squad
A fond kiss, and then we sever
A farewell, and then forever!
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee
Who shall say that Fortune grieves him
While the star of hope she leaves him?
Me, nae cheerfu' twinkle lights me
Dark despair around benights me
I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy
Nothing could resist my Nancy
But to see her was to love her
Love but her, and love forever
Had we never lov'd say kindly
Had we never lov'd say blindly
Never met -- or never parted --
We had ne'er been broken-hearted
Fare thee well, thou first and fairest!
Fare thee well, thou best and dearest!
Thine be like a joy and treasure
Peace. enjoyment, love, and pleasure!
A fond kiss, and then we sever
A farewell, alas, forever!
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee!
