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

You don't have to make believe it's you
You can pump me I don't care
You can bump me I don't care

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


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

You're A Wonderful One


You're A Wonderful One
Composer(s): Eddie Holland; Lamont Dozier; Brian Holland
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

I never thought I’d find one quite so perfect for me
You’re a sweetheart, if there ever was one
If there ever was one, it’s you

My search was such a blind one – I was all at sea
I never thought I’d find one quite so perfect for me
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!

You're A Sweet Little Headache


You're A Sweet Little Headache
Composer(s): Ralph Rainger; Leo Robin
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists



You're a sweet little headache
But you are lots of fun
I've a good mind to spank you
Then thank you for all you've done

You're a sweet little headache
Full of quaint little schemes
But when I should forget you
I let you disturb my dreams

I thought I could hold my own with you
But you've got me all perplexed
For here am I alone with you
What are you going to do next?

You're a sweet little headache
If you keep on that way
But a sweet little heartache
You'll turn out to be some day

A Foggy Day


A Foggy Day ((aka A Foggy Day (In London Town) (by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong) - 1956))
Composer(s): George Gershwin - Ira Gershwin
First recording/First release by: Shep Fields and His Rippling Rhythm - 1937
Covered by multiple other artists

Titles In Other Languages:
1997 - Een Trieste Dag (by Robert Long)
2003 - Jour De Brouillard (by Julien Clerc)



I was a stranger in the city
Out of town were the people I knew
I had that feeling of self-pity
What to do? What to do? What to do?
The outlook was decidedly blue
But as I walked through the foggy streets alone
It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known

A foggy day in London Town
Had me low and had me down
I viewed the morning with alarm
The British Museum had lost its charm
How long, I wondered, could this thing last?
But the age of miracles hadn't passed
For, suddenly, I saw you there
And through foggy London Town
The sun was shining everywhere

Composer(s): Irving Halfin; Dick James; David Ruvin
Performer(s): Max Bygraves



Have we met somewhere before?
You're a pink toothbrush and I think toothbrush
That we met by the bathroom door

Glad to meet toothbrush, such a sweet toothbrush
How you thrill me through and through
Dont be hard toothbrush on a soft toothbrush
'Cause I cant help loving you

Every time I hear you whistle...... it makes my nylon bristle.......

You're a pink toothbrush, I'm a blue toothbrush
Won't you marry me in haste?
I'll be true toothbrush, just to you toothbrush
When we both use the same toothpaste

A Fine, Fine Day


A Fine, Fine Day
Composer(s): Tony Carey
Performer(s): Tony Carey



When my Uncle Sonny blew back into town
Said I'll just go for a ride and have a look 'round
He took off his fidora and stuck his fingers in the crown
And he pulled out twenty dollars
And he laid that money down

He called out to a taxi cab
Take me down to Central Park
And keep that meter runnin' to the twenty dollar mark
And he kept his eyes turned forward
And he sat up straight and tall
And no one even noticed him, no one cared at all

It's a fine, fine day for a reunion
It's a fine, fine day for comin' home
You did your sittin', you did hard time
But you ain't gonna sit no more
They can't keep you there no more
It's a fine, fine day
And nothin's gonna take you, nothin's gonna take you away
It's a fine, fine day, oh yeah

First time I saw Sonny, I was just about this tall
He always made my momma kinda crazy when he'd call
Him and my old man would stand and whisper in the hall
Then they'd dissappear and maybe not come home at all
Then one day Sonny stopped comin' around
Heard he'd gotten himself into a little trouble out in town
Sometime after that he finally dissappeared for good
Then he pulled that ol' Houdini
Like we always knew he would

It's a fine, fine day for a reunion
It's a fine, fine day for comin' home
You did your sittin', you did hard time
But you ain't gonna sit no more
They can't keep you there no more
It's a fine, fine day, oh yeah
And nothin's gonna take you
Nothin's gonna take you away, oh yeah
It's a fine, fine day, fine day
It's a fine, fine day, fine day
It's a fine, fine day, fine day

I see you made it back all right, all right
I see you're none the worse for wear
It's been a long time comin'
Nothin's gonna drag you away from here

A fine, fine day
And nothin's gonna take it, nothin's gonna take you away
Oh yeah
A fine, fine day, oh yeah
A fine, fine day
A fine, fine day
And nothin's gonna take you
Nothin's gonna take you away, away
A fine, fine day, fine day
A fine, fine

You're A Lady


You're A Lady
Composer(s): Peter Skellern
Performer(s): Tony Orlando & Dawn;
and various other artists



Now the year has come to a close
And I've had my last dance with you
Unto the empty streets we go
And this might be my last chance with you

So I might as well get it over
'Cause the things I've got to say won't wait until another day

You're a lady
I'm a man
You're supposed to understand
How these things are often planned to be

You're romantic
I'm a fool
You're the teacher
I've come to school
Here I sit
And hope that you'll love me

You're all magic
Unlock my chain
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
So I say with no restrain
Be mine, oh be mine

Hard to answer, yes, I agree
But then I've got to know
I'm not asking you to marry me
Just a little love to show

Oh I know I could make you happy
So the things I have to say
won't wait until another day

You're a lady
I'm a man
You're supposed to understand
How these things are often planned to be

You're romantic
I'm a fool
You're the teacher
I've come to school
Here I sit
And hope that you'll love me

You're all magic
Unlock my chain
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
So I say with no restrain
Be mine, oh be mine

A Fine Romance


A Fine Romance
Composer(s): Jerome Kern - Dorothy Fields
First performance/First recording by: Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers/Rudy Vallee - 1936
Covered by multiple other artists



A fine romance, with no kisses
A fine romance, my friend, this is
We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes
But you're as cold as yesterday's mashed potatoes
A fine romance, you won't nestle
A fine romance, you won't wrestle
I've never mussed a crease in your blue serge pants
I never had the chance
This is a fine romance
A fine romance, my good fellow
You take romance
I'll take jello
You calmer than the seals in the Arctic Ocean
At least they flap their fins to express emotion
A fine romance, with no quarrels
With no insults, and all the morals
You're just as hard to land as the Ile de France
I never get the chance
This is a fine romance

A fine romance, with no kisses
A fine romance, my friend, this is
True love should have the thrills that a healthy crime has
We don't have half the thrills that "The March of Time" has
A fine romance, with no clinches
A fine romance, with no pinches
You never give the orchids I send a glance
No, you like cactus plants
This is a fine romance

You're A Heartbreaker


You're A Heartbreaker
Composer(s): Jack Sallee
Performer(s): Elvis Presley;
Humble Pie; Steve Marriott; Leon Redbone



You're a heartbreaker
You're a love faker
A heartbreaker playing with fire
You're a tear snatcher
You're a quarrel patcher
But you can't break my heart anymore
For I just found someone else who's sure to take your place
Someone I can always trust and to fill this empty space
You're a heartbreaker
You're a love faker
But you can't break my heart anymore

You're a smooth talker
You're a real cool walker
But now you have talked out of turn
You're a high stepper
You're a eye-catcher
But you won't catch my glances anymore
For I just found someone else who's sure to take your place
Someone I can always trust and to fill this empty space

You're a heartbreaker
You're a love faker
But you can't break my heart anymore

You're a heart breaker
You're a love faker
A heartbreaker playing with fire
You're a tear snatcher
You're a quarrel patcher
But you can't break my heart anymore
For I've just found someone else who's sure to take your place
Someone I can always trust and to fill this empty space

You're a heartbreaker
You're a love faker
But you can't break my heart anymore

Ocean Front Property


Ocean Front Property
Composer(s): Hank Cochran - Dean Dillon - Royce Porter
Performer(s): George Strait
and multiple other artists



If you leave me I won't miss you
And I won't ever take you back
Girl your mem'ry won't ever haunt me
'Cause I don't love you and now, if you'll buy that

I got some ocean front property in Arizona
From my front porch you can see the sea
I got some ocean front property in Arizona
If you'll buy that, I'll throw the Golden Gate in free

I don't worship the ground you walk on
I never have and that's a fact
I won't follow or try to find you
'Cause I don't love you and now, if you'll buy that

I got some ocean front property in Arizona
From my front porch you can see the sea
I got some ocean front property in Arizona
If you'll buy that, I'll throw the Golden Gate in free

I got some ocean front property in Arizona
From my front porch you can see the sea
I got some ocean front property in Arizona
If you'll buy that, I'll throw the Golden Gate in free

If you'll buy that, I'll throw the Golden Gate in free
