Wervin'
Wervin'
Composer(s): Carla Bley
Performer(s): Nick Mason
Wervin', we're Wervin'
Do you need a doctor?
Swervin' and curvin'
Are you pocket trained?
Do you like to Werve?
Do you have the nerve?
Do you need a doctor
When you start to swerve?
Are you pocket trained
Goin' 'round a curve?
Can you Werve?
Wervin', we're Wervin'
Do you save the coupons?
Swervin' and curvin'
Can I borrow your suit?
Can you Werve like a bird
Or do you find it absurd?
Did you come prepurd?
Can I borrow your suit?
Do you find it unnervin'
Or pleasantly disturbin'
Can you Werve?
Wervin', we're Wervin'
Do you have your 'chute?
Swervin' and curvin'
Does your mother know?
Do you worry when you Werve?
Are you scared when you swerve?
Do you get what you deserve
When you go around a curve?
I can see your house
Have you lost your nerve?
Can you Werve?
Werve

Addicted To Love
Addicted To Love ((aka Addicted to Spuds (by "Weird Al" Yankovic) - 1986))
Composer(s): Robert Palmer
First release by: Robert Palmer - 1985
Covered by multiple other artists
Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes
You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need
Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love
You see the signs, but you can't read
You're runnin' at a different speed
Your heart beats in double time
Another kiss and you'll be mine, a one track mind
You can't be saved
Oblivion is all you crave
If there's some left for you
You don't mind if you do
Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your will is not your own
You're heart sweats and teeth grind
Another kiss and you'll be mine
Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

Werewolves Of London
Werewolves Of London
Composer(s): LeRoy Marinell; Waddy Wachtel; Warren Zevon
Performer(s): Warren Zevon
I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's
Going to get a big dish of beef chow mein
{Refrain}
Ah-ooooo, werewolves of London
Ah-ooooo
Ah-ooooo, werewolves of London
Ah-ooooo
If you hear him howling around your kitchen door
You better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated late last night
Werewolves of London again
{Refrain}
Heh!
He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amok in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
You better stay away from him
He'll rip your lungs out, jim
Ha, I'd like to meet his tailor
{Refrain}
Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen
Doing the werewolves of London
I saw Lon Chaney Jr. walking with the Queen, uh
Doing the werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's
His hair was perfect
Ah-ooooo, werewolves of London
Ha, draw blood
Ah-ooooo, werewolves of London

Addicted
Addicted
Composer(s): Cheryl Wheeler
Performer(s): Dan Seals
She says she hates to sleep alone, but she'll do it tonight
She wants to grab her telephone, but she knows it ain't right
So if he won't call, she'll survive, and if he don't care, she'll get by
Climb into bed, bury her head, and cry
From the beginning he was all anyone could have been
They were delirious with love, they were certain to win
Now he's breaking plans more and more
And he's leaving notes on her door
Took a trip out of town, couldn't turn this one down
He said, "I guess I should have told you before"
She says she feels like she's addicted to a real bad thing,
Always sitting, waiting, wondering if the phone will ring
She knows she bounces like a yo-yo when he pulls her string
It hurts to feel like such a fool
She wants to tell him not to call or come around again
He doesn't need her now at all, the way that she needs him
She's on the edge about to fall from leaning out and in
And she don't know which way to move
She wants to be fair, she couldn't say he was ever unkind
But if she could bear to walk away, she thinks he wouldn't mind
'Cause he just keeps himself so apart and there's no one else in her heart
So she's taking a dive from an emotional high and coming down hard
She's determined to try, but she'll still give in when he gives her a call
She'll ask herself why, but in the end it won't matter at all
Sure, she could sit at home, stay inside and sleep alone with her pride
And as she walks out that door, she feels as weak as before with nothing to hide
She says she feels like she's addicted to a real bad thing
Always sitting, waiting, wondering if the phone will ring
She knows she bounces like a yo-yo when he pulls her string
It hurts to feel like such a fool
She wants to tell him not to call or come around again
He doesn't need her now at all, the way that she needs him
She's on the edge about to fall from leaning out and in
And she don't know which way to move
She says she feels like she's addicted to a real bad thing
Always sitting, waiting, wondering if the phone will ring
She knows she bounces like a yo-yo when he pulls her string
It hurts to feel like such a fool
And she don't know which way to move
It hurts to feel like such a fool

We're The Couple In The Castle
Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael; Frank Loesser
Performer(s): Glenn Miller;
Lisa Hindmarsh; Claude Thornhill
We're at Nineteen Moonbeam Terrace
Overlooking Starlight Square
We're the couple in the castle
Way up high in the air
On the corner there's a cloud bank
And we bank our millions there
We're the couple in the castle
In the air
One day a daydream came a stealing
Through the gloomy part of town
Well, that daydream brought us way up here
And we'll never come down
Call us Lord and Lady Stardust
Call us crazy, we don't care
We're the couple in the castle
In the air

Add Some Music to Your Day
Add Some Music to Your Day
Composer(s): Brian Wilson - Mike Love - Joe Knott
First release by: The Beach Boys - 1970
The sunday mornin' gospel goes good with the soul
There's blues, folk, and country, and rock like a rollin' stone
The world could come together as one
If everybody under the sun
Add some music to your day
(Add some music add some add some music to your day)
A bob didit a bop didit
You'll hear it while you're walkin' by a neighbor's home
You'll hear it faintly in the distance when you're on the phone
You're sittin' in a dentist's chair
And they've got music for you there
To add some music
(Add some music add some add some music to your)
To your day
A bob didit a bop didit
Add some music music everywhere (add some music)
Add some add some add some add some music (add some music)
Your doctor knows it keeps you calm
Your preacher adds it to his psalms
So add some music
(Add some music add some add some music to your)
To your day
Music
(Add some music add some music)
When you're alone
(Add some music add some music)
Is like a companion
(Add some music add some music)
For your lonely soul
Oo oo oo woo oo woo oo oo oo oooo
When day is over (when day is over)
I close my tired eyes (I close my tired)
Music is in my soul
At a movie you can feel it touching your heart
And on every day of the summertime
You'll hear children chasing ice cream carts
They'll play it on your wedding day
There must be 'bout a million ways
To add some music
(Add some music add some add some music to your)
To your day
Add some music to your day
Add some music to your day
Add some music to your day
Add some music to your day
Add some music to your day

Composer(s): Tom Scholz
Performer(s): Boston
I'm ready for more
The feelin' now that I'm besides you
We'll open the door
Do anything that we decide to
And I know that there's something that's just out of sight
And I feel like I'm finally seein' the light
Holdin' on girl -- I know it's right
I know it's right
We're ready!
You and I will find a reason
To simplify a change of season
And I feel like it's time we were off on our way
We can go so much farther than we've come today
Holdin' on girl and come what may
Come what may
We're ready!
We're ready
Come on
We can find a way
We're ready now
Catchin' a wave to ride on
Steady now
Headin' where we decide on
And I know that there's something that's just out of sight
And I feel like we're trying to do something right
Come on make it if we hold on tight
Hold on tight
We're ready!
We're ready
Come on
We can find a way
We're ready now
We're ready now

Add It Up
Add It Up
Composer(s): Ray Davies
Performer(s): The Kinks
The first time that I saw you, you were modestly waiting for a bus
Now you're driving around in hired limousines
And you talk so upper class.
The cost is high, but it's not the only price you ultimately pay
Add it up, you might have got some money
But you lost me on the way
Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
Ah, Gucci, Gucci, Gucci
Cartier, Cartier
Gucci, Gucci, Gucci
Add it up,
You multiplied and multiplied but what's it leading to?
Add it up,
The only thing subtracted is the love I had for you
So add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
Symbols of perversion and insanity
Symbols of social immorality
Symbols of economic cruelty
Symbolize all what you did to me
Ah, Gucci, Gucci, Gucci
Cartier, Cartier
Gucci, Gucci, Gucci
Cartier, Cartier
Money can't cover up the fact you're getting older every day
And you can't disguise your sad little eyes that give your loneliness away
Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
(repeat)

We're On Our Way To France
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Irving Berlin;
and various other artists
All is ready so just hold steady
We'll soon be going to the pier
No more waiting or hesitating
The time to sail is here
Bye-bye mothers and all the others
Who'll come to shed a little tear
Don't cry
Bye-bye
Give us a parting cheer
[Refrain:]
We're on our way to France
There's not a minute to spare
That's why
For when the Yanks advance
You bet we wanna be there
Goodbye
Old Hoboken is bent and broken
From soldiers marching on her pier
While you slumber, a great big number
Of soldiers disappear
To the millions of brave civilians
That we are leaving over here
We say
Day day
Give us a parting cheer

Adam's Apple
Adam's Apple
Composer(s): Steven Tyler
First release by: Aerosmith - 1975
Back when Cain was able
Way before the stable
Lighting struck right down from the sky
A mother ship with fate said let's give it a try
Conscience was related
Man he was created
Lady luck took him by surprise
A sweet and bitter fruit it surely opened his eyes
Well she ate it
Lordy it was love at first bite
Well she ate it
Never knowin wrong from right right right
Even Eve in Eden
Voices tried deceiving
With lies that showed the lady the way
At first she stopped and turned and tried to walk away
Man he was believer
Lady was deceiver
So the story goes but you see
The snake was he and she just climbed right up his tree
So she ate it
Lordy it was love at first bite
Well she ate it
Never knowin wrong from right right right
Whooooaaa......
Conscience was related
Man he was created
When lady luck took him by surprise
The sweet and bitter fruit it surely opened his eyes
Evil came like reignin
Who knows who's to blamin
Something tried to lay her to waste
And all she want and need was just a little taste
Whooa, she ate it
Lordy it was love at first bite
Well she ate it
Never knowin wrong from right right right
Well she ate it
Lordy it was love at first bite
Yeah she ate it
Never knowin wrong from right right
Oh that's right

Because of the wonderful things he does

Adam And I
Composer(s): Nicky James - Ray Thomas
Performer(s): Ray Thomas
I waited so long, for you to come along
Hoping and praying, my love would bear a son
Now I see that love, it shines within your eyes
We're gonna take our journey, Adam and I
We'll ignore all boarders, for our spirit must stay free
Free as the wind that blows, there's so much for you to see
We'll ride on a moonbeam, and never pass one by
We're gonna take our journey, Adam and I
When we reach the land of the setting sun
You'll be overjoyed, you'll see the sights
So reach and take your father's hand
And may the Lord have mercy on our flight
Adam and I, Adam and I, Adam and I, and I
The river of life flows swiftly, into the sea of time
Our lives were made for living, my joy is in your smile
We'll talk to the heron, and he can teach us how to fly
We're gonna take our journey, Adam and I
Our Lord is in his heaven, He watches us below
His seed was made for sowing, and we reap what we sow
But he's a man of love, divine he's on high
We're gonna take our journey, Adam and I
Adam and I, Adam and I, Adam and I
My son and I

Performer(s): Loretta Lynn & Ernest Tubb
We're not kids anymore, not a little girl and boy
But we break each other's heart like a child breaks a toy
We're a woman and a man watchin' love slip through our hands
Let's grow up, we're not kids anymore
I go out of my way to hurt you more every day
And you cry out like your little heart will break
And every time you make me blue, I make the point to hurt you too
And I wonder how much more our love can take
We're not kids anymore, not a little girl and boy
But we break each other's heart like a child breaks a toy
We're a woman and a man watchin' love slip through our hands
Let's grow up, we're not kids anymore
We're not kids anymore, not a little girl and boy

We're a woman and a man watchin' love slip through our hands

Adam And Evil
Composer(s): Randy Starr - Fred Wise
First recording/First release by: Elvis Presley - 1966
Now Adam and Evil, they go hand in hand
Eve taught him sin, that's the way it all began
But every time you kiss me, my heart pounds like a drum
So trouble is a woman, trouble here I come
I'm lonely like Adam, you're evil like Eve
I shouldn't take forbidden fruit 'cause I believe
I'll be heading straight for heartache
I should cut loose and run
But if loving you means heartache
Heartache, here I come
You're not the angel that I dreamed about
But you're the devil I don't want to live without
A woman's a woman, a man is a man
I can't be free I'm just putty in your hands
Who cares about tomorrow, I need your love tonight
And even if you're evil, baby hold me tight
You're not the angel that I dreamed about
But you're the devil I don't want to live without
A woman's a woman, a man is a man
I can't be free I'm just putty in your hands
Who cares about tomorrow, I need your love tonight
And baby if you're evil, baby hold me tight
Hold me tight
Hold me tight
Hold me tight
