A Little Kiss Each Morning


A Little Kiss Each Morning
Composer(s): Harry Woods
Performer(s): Rudy Vallée
and multiple other artists



We'll be so happy, we'll always sing
If we remember one little thing
A little kiss each morning
A little kiss each night

Who cares if hard luck may be ahead
An empty cupboard, a crust of bread
A little kiss each morning
A little kiss each night

Dreams may disappoint us
As they often do
Bring your tears to me, Dear
I'll bring mine to you

Though hair so golden may turn to grey
I'll call you "Sweetheart" and always say
A little kiss each morning
A little kiss each night

Hot Dusty Roads


Hot Dusty Roads
Composer(s): Stephen Stills
Performer(s): Buffalo Springfield;
The Chocolate Watchband



I'm a city boy and I stay at home
I make no excuses, I just don't want to roam
And I don't like being alone
I'll give you loving and a place to take off your shoes
It does surprising things for a case of the blues
It ain't no club, you don't have to pay no dues
You just love me and I'll love you
And if you take some pride in being alive
And you're interested in looking inside of yourself
Just drop on by, baby ask me why
At least you don't have to be by yourself
Just come knock, most likely I'll be there
Then you look around and find a comfortable chair
And then you sit and you might think about why he's there
I can't tell you why, only where

A Little Kiss At Twilight


A Little Kiss At Twilight
From the Paramount production "Give Me A Sailor"
Composer(s): Leo Robin - Ralph Rainger
Performer(s): Benny Goodman & His Orch.



A little kiss at twilight
In a great big cozy chair
In a home-made heaven we share alone
A little kiss at twilight
When the long blue shadows fall
'Round a small white cottage we call our own
It's a dream, I know, but I know too
Dreams like this often come true
A little kiss at twilight
I'd be waiting all day through
For the one sweet moment at home with you

Hot Dog! That Made Him Mad


Hot Dog! That Made Him Mad
Composer(s): Danny Barker; Don Raye
Performer(s): Wanda Jackson; Betty Hutton;
Carolyn Mark & The Room-Mates; Eve Selis



I've got a guy, I like him fine
But he takes me for granted all of the time
To teach him a lesson and make him mad
I went out on a date with the best friend he had
That made him mad boy, hot dog, that made him mad
And he hugged me and he kissed me and he asked me not to do it again

Oh, late last night when I came in, he demanded to know just where I'd been
But I really put him right in his place
Instead of an answer, I laughed in his face
That made him mad boy, hot dog, that made him mad
So he hugged me and he kissed me and he asked me not to do it again

He said my heart is on my sleeve, and if I didn't change that he would leave
Well, you shoulda seen him, was his face red
when I laughed and told him just go right ahead
That made him mad boy, hot dog, that made him mad
So he hugged me and he kissed me and he asked me not to do it again

Well, the moral is, to play it cool
Let your guy know you're nobody's fool
When he gets to thinking you're all his own
let him know that you can take him or leave him alone
That makes him mad boy, hot dog, that makes him mad
And he'll hug you and he'll kiss you and he'll ask you not to do it again

Yeah, he'll hug you and he'll kiss you
He'll squeeze you and he'll please you
And he'll ask you not to do it again

A Little Is Enough


A Little Is Enough
Composer(s): Pete Townshend
Performer(s): Pete Townshend; Raphael Rudd; The Who



They say that love often passes in a second
And you can never catch it up
So I'm hanging on to you as though eternity beckon
But it's clear that the match is rough
Common sense's tell me not to try'n continue
But I'm after a piece of that diamond in you
So keep an eye open
My spirit ain't broken
Your love is so incredible
Your body so edible
You give me an overdose of love
Just a little is enough

I'm like a connoisseur of champagne cognac
The perfume nearly beats the taste
I eat an oyster and I feel the contact
But more than one would be a waste
Some people want an endless line that's true
But all I have is a little time with you
A smile sets me reeling
A kiss feel like stealing
Your love is like heroin
This addict is mellowing
I can't pretend that I'm tough
Just a little is enough

Just like a sailor heading into the seas
There's a gale blowing in my face
The high winds scare me but I need the breeze
And I can't head for any other place
Life would seem so easy on the other tack
But even a hurricane won't turn me back
You might be an island
On the distant horizon
But the little I see
Looks like heaven to me
I don't care if the ocean gets rough
Just a little is enough

Common sense's tell me not to try'n continue
But I'm after a piece of that diamond in you
So keep an eye open
My spirit ain't broken
Your love is so incredible
Your body so edible
You give me an overdose of love
A little is enough

Hot Dog (Led Zeppelin)


Hot Dog
Composer(s): Jimmy Page; Robert Plant
Performer(s): Led Zeppelin;
and various other artists



Awwwwww, hot dog

Well I, well I, well I just got into town today
To find my girl who's gone away
She took the Greyhound at the general store
I searched myself, I searched the town
When I finally did sit down
I find myself no wiser than before

She said we couldn't do no wrong
No other love could be so strong
She locked up my heart in her bottom drawer
Now she took my heart, she took my keys
From in my old blue dungarees
And I'll never go to Texas anymore

Now my baby's gone I don't know what to do
She took my love and walked right out the door
And if I ever find that girl I know one thing for sure
I'm gonna give her something like she never had before

I took her love at seventeen
A little late these days it seems
But they said heaven is well worth waiting for
I took her word, I took it all
Beneath the sign that said U-Haul
She left angels hangin' round for more, ah go!

Well, now my baby's gone I don't know what to do
She took my love and walked right out the door
And if I ever find that girl I know one thing for sure
I'm gonna give her something like she never had before

I thought I had it all sewn up
Our love, a plot, a pick-up truck
But folks said she was after something more
I never did quite understand
All that talk about rockin' bands
But they just rolled my doll right out the door
Ooh yeah, they just rolled my doll right out the door
Well, they just rolled my doll right out the door

A Little Good News


A Little Good News
Composer(s): Charles Black - Rory Bourke - Thomas Rocco
Performer(s): Anne Murray; BR5-49; Indigo Girls



I rolled out this morning
Kids had the morning news show on
Bryant Gumbel was talkin' 'bout the fighting in Lebanon
Some senator was squawkin' 'bout the bad economy
It's gonna get worse you see, we need a change in policy
There's a local paper rolled up in a rubber band
One more sad story's one more than I can stand
Just once how I'd like to see the headline say
"Not much to print today, can't find nothin' bad to say", because
Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town
Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single building down
Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain
We sure could use a little good news todayI'll come home this evening
I'll bet that the news will be the same
Somebody takes a hostage, somebody steals a plane
How I wanna hear the anchor man talk about a county fair
And how we cleaned up the air, how everybody learned to care
Whoa, tell me
Nobody was assassinated in the whole Third World today
And in the streets of Ireland, all the children had to do was play
And everybody loves everybody in the good old USA
We sure could use a little good news today
Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town
Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single building down ...

Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain
We sure could use a little good news today

Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



Hot dog, you say you're really comin' back
Hot dog, I'm waitin' at the railroad track
Hot dog, you say you're comin' home for good
Hot dog, I'm goin' keep on knockin' wood
And baby I can hardly wait
I'm gonna meet you at the gate, hot dog

I fell in love with you and then you went away
But now you're comin' home to stay
Hot dog, soon ev'rything will be all right
Hot dog, we're gonna have a ball tonight
I got a pocketful of dimes
It's gonna be just like old times, hot dog

You went away and ev'ry day was misery
But now you're comin' back to me
Hot dog, my heart is gonna go insane
Hot dog, when you come walkin' off the train
You knop how lonely I have been
But when that Santa Fe pulls in, hot dog, baby, hot dog

A Little Fish In A Big Pond


A Little Fish In A Big Pond
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Eddie Albert & Mary McCarty



Horace:
A little fish in a big pond has plenty of room to swim
But swimming around are big fish all ready to pounce on him

Back to his little pond he starts to roam
The little fish spreads his fins and begins to swim back home

That's me, a little fish in a big pond, all wrong
That's me, a little fish where a little fish don't belong

A little man in a big town gets butterflies in his dome
I'm ready to spread my fin and begin to swim back home
To the little pond where a little fish and a little man belong

Maisie:
A little fish in a big pond has gotta have lots of heart
For swimming around are big fish, but if he's the least bit smart

Back to his little pond he doesn't go
The little fish spreads his fins and begins to grow, grow, grow

That's you, a little fish in a big pond, all right
Me too, a little fish, but we gotta stand up and fight

A little man in a big town don't have to get out and roam
Stop taking it on the chin and begin to feel at home
In the bigger pond where the bigger fish and the bigger men belong

Performer(s): Corky Jones (aka Buck Owens);
and various other artists



Well, my baby works in a hot dog stand
A-making them hot dogs as fast as she can
Up steps a cat and yells don't be slow
And get me two hot dogs ready to go

Hot dog, she's my baby
Hot dog, drives me crazy
Hot dog, I don't mean maybe
Well, you oughta see my baby at the hot dog stand

Well, in the cool of the evening when the sun goes down
All the chicks and the cats all gather around
They order hot dogs and red soda pop
Then head down the road to a hep cat hop

Hot dog, she's my baby
Hot dog, drives me crazy
Hot dog, don't mean maybe
Well, you oughta see my baby at the hot dog stand

Well, I'm a-waiting for my baby every night at twelve
She closes up the shop and then we lose ourselves
At a hep cat hop, in a crazy way
We're a-doin' the bop till the break of day

Hot dog, she's my baby
Hot dog, drives me crazy
Hot dog, I don't mean maybe
Well, you oughta see my baby at the hot dog stand

Hot dog, she's my baby
Hot dog, drives me crazy
Hot dog, I don't mean maybe
Well, you oughta see my baby at the hot dog stand

Hot dog

A Little Breeze


A Little Breeze
Performer(s): The Supremes



We'll laugh 'till the tears start falling
Love 'till a new love's calling
Talk 'till it seems we've said it all before

But when my words no longer reach you
When I've nothing left to teach you
I'll let a little breeze blow me out the door

We'll kiss away each others sorrow
Live as though there's no tomorrow
It would we can give until there's nothing more
But when I ask and you refuse me
'Cause you don't care if you should lose me
I'll let a little breeze blow me out the door

You know that I'll never leave you
While I know that I still please you
And perhaps our love will last forever more

But if there are tears I must cry them
And you no longer want to dry them
I'll let a little breeze blow me out the door
I'll let a little breeze blow me out the door

(A little boogie woogie) ah ha
(A little boogie woogie)
(A little boogie woogie) all right (yeah, yeah, yeah)
All right tonight's the night
Tonight I've made my mind up
It's time to get it right
Just like we did before
Tonight's the night all right
And though I know you ain't quite sure
You're getting all excited 'cause you don't know what's in store

So what you've got to do
Is keep our little secret
Do what I tell you to
And leave the rest to me
I'm guaranteeing you
When I get in this kind of mood
I've got a little something I can introduce to you

(A little boogie woogie) ah ha
(A little boogie woogie)
(A little boogie woogie) all right (yeah, yeah)
'Cause when I'm inclined I usually find
A little boogie woogie in the back of my mind
'Cause when I'm inclined I know I can find
A little boogie woogie in the back of my mind

Hey today's the day I lay it on the line
The way to make you stay and keep me company
It's time to get my way 'cause night time is the right time
And when I'm feeling fine I like my action guaranteed

All right tonight's the night
I can't wait any longer
I'm turning out the light and locking up that door
You might put up a fight
But you'll be crying out for more
When you'll be getting what you really came here looking for

(A little boogie woogie) ah ha
(A little boogie woogie)
(A little boogie woogie) all right
'Cause when I'm inclined I usually find
A little boogie woogie in the back of my mind
'Cause when I'm inclined I know I can find
A little boogie woogie in the back of my mind

All right tonight's the night
I can't wait any longer
I'm turning out the light and locking up that door
You might put up a fight
But you'll be crying out for more
When you'll be getting what you really came here looking for

(A little boogie woogie) ah ha
(A little boogie woogie)
(A little boogie woogie) all right every night
'Cause when I'm inclined I usually find
A little boogie woogie in the back of my mind
'Cause when I'm inclined I know I can find
A little boogie woogie in the back of my mind

'Cause when I'm inclined I usually find
A little boogie woogie in the back of my mind
'Cause when I'm inclined I know I can find
A little boogie woogie in the back of my mind
A little boogie woogie, woogie boogie woogie
A little boogie woogie in the back of my mind
A little boogie woogie, woogie boogie woogie
A little boogie woogie in the back of my mind
A little boogie woogie, woogie boogie woogie

Composer(s): Nick Gilder; Jimmy McCulloch
Performer(s): Nick Gilder;
The Coal Porters; Hagfish; Anthony Tyler



Danger in the shape of somethin' wild
Stranger dressed in black, she's a hungry child
No one knows who she is or what her name is
I don't know where she came from or what her game is

(Hot child in the city)
(Hot child in the city)
(Runnin' wild and lookin' pretty)
(Hot child in the city)

So young to be loose and on her own
Young boys, they all want to take her home
She goes downtown, the boys all stop and stare
When she goes downtown, she walks like she just don't care, care

(Hot child in the city)
(Hot child in the city)
(Runnin' wild and lookin' pretty)
Yeah
(Hot child in the city)

Come on down to my place, baby
We'll talk about love
Come on down to my place, woman
We'll make love!

Hot child in the city
(Hot child in the city)
She's kinda dangerous
(Hot child in the city)
Young child

Young child, runnin' wild

A Little Bitty Tear


A Little Bitty Tear
Composer(s): Hank Cochran
First release by: Burl Ives - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists

1961 - Die Ene Kleine Traan (Bobbejaan Schoepen)
1962 - En Lille-Bitte Tåre (Helle Wilke)
1969 - Une Petite Larme M'a Trahi (Claude François)



A little bitty tear let me down, spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not make a frown, but a little bitty tear let me down

You said you were leaving tomorrow
That today was our last day
I said there'd be no sorrow, that I'd laugh when you walked away

A little bitty tear let me down, spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not make a frown, but a little bitty tear let me down

I said I'd laugh when you left me
Pull a funny as you went out the door
That I'd have another waiting
And I'd wave goodbye as you go

A little bitty tear let me down, spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not make a frown, but a little bitty tear let me down

Everything went like a planned it
And really put on quite a show
In my heart I felt I could stand it
Till you walked with your *grip* through the door
A little bitty tear let me down, spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not make a frown, but a little bitty tear let me down

A little bitty tear let me down

Hot Buttered Rum


Hot Buttered Rum
Composer(s): Tommy Thompson
Performer(s): Mary Chapin Carpenter;
and various other artists



When chimney smoke hangs still and low across the stubbled fields of snow
And angry skies reach down and seize the sorry blackened bones of trees
In the dead of winter when the silent snowbirds come
You're my sweet maple sugar,honey, hot buttered rum

When dreary Christmas decorations line the streets and filling stations
And dime store Santas can't disguise their empty hands and empty eyes
In the dead of winter when the tinsel angels come
You're my sweet maple sugar, honey, hot buttered rum

When gloves and boots and woolen parkas bring cold comfort to the heart
And bitter memories freeze the tongue and words of love are left unsung
In the dead of winter when the cold feelings come
You're my sweet maple sugar, oney, hot buttered rum

A Little Bit Off The Top


A Little Bit Off The Top
Performer(s): Harry Bedford



Brown's a very old friend of mine
Once I went to his house to dine
Some of the aristocracy were there
Ev'ryone of 'em thought me "great"
And said, when they saw me lick my plate
That I must be an American millionaire
The waiter came into the room with a beautiful lump of pork
And though I'd "wolfed" enough to feed a town
I thought I'd like a sample of the crackling and the gravy
So I loosened out my vest and said to Brown

Carve a little bit off the top for me! for me!
Just a little bit off the top for me! for me!
Saw me off a yard or two, I'll tell you when to stop
All I want is a little bit off the top!

Once I made up my mind to roam
And spend a week by the briny foam
I'd never been far away from home before
Ev'ryone of the family
Were sorry indeed to part with me
They all love Willie, especially ma-in-law
They all came up and asked me for a lock of my golden hair
I clipped 'em from the back and from the side
At last I asked the missus which particular bit she fancied
And she rubbed her nose and lovingly replied

Tear a little bit off the top for me! for me!
Just a little bit off the top for me! for me!
I'll fix it on the copperstick and use it for a mop
All I want is a little bit off the top!

Hot Burrito #2


Hot Burrito #2
Composer(s): Gram Parsons; Chris Ethridge
Performer(s): The Flying Burrito Brothers;
and various other artists



Yes, you loved me and you sold my clothes
I love you, but that's the way that it goes
So it goes
Yes, you know how I feel
So it goes
It just couldn't be real

And we know it's wrong
And I don't think it's gonna go on
When I come home carrying my shoes
I've been waiting to tell you some news
And you want me home all night
And you don't want another fight
But you better love
Find some love
You better love me, Jesus Christ

Yes, you loved me and you sold all my clothes
I love you, baby, but that's the way that it goes
So it goes
I guess you know how I feel
So it goes
Yes, it couldn't be real

And you want me home all night
You just don't want another fight
But you better love
Find some love
Love me baby, Jesus Christ
