Where's The Boy? Here's The Girl!
Where’s The Boy? Here's The Girl!
Composer(s): George Gershwin; Ira Gershwin
Performer(s): Betty Comden
There is no doubt about the fact that life
Without a lord and master is a disaster
But I’ve not met as yet the one I’d like to get
But some I seek well, but none’s my equal
There’s just one man and it’s high time
He came to take up my time
In dreams I see this he who’s all the world to me
Though I’ve not met him, I can’t forget him
Where’s the boy, what’s he waiting for?
Where’s the boy, here’s the girl
What is he hesitating for?
Can’t he see, here’s the girl
Maybe we shall meet on some romantic mountain
Probably I’ll meet him at a soda fountain
He’ll bring me joy
But what’s he waiting for?
Where’s the boy, here’s the girl
Oh where’s the boy, what’s he waiting for?
Where’s the boy, here’s the girl
Oh what is he hesitating for?
Can’t he see, here’s the girl
Maybe we shall meet on some romantic mountain
Probably I’ll meet him at a soda fountain
He’ll bring me joy
But what’s he waiting for?
Where’s the boy, here’s the girl

Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl
And with the way you look I understand
that you are not impressed
But I heard you let that little friend of mine
take off your party dress
I'm not going to get too sentimental
like those other sticky valentines
'cause I don't know if you've been loving somebody
I only know it isn't mine
Alison, I know this world is killing you
Oh, Alison, my aim is true
Well I see you've got a husband now
Did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake?
You used to hold him right in your hand
I'll bet he took all he could take
Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking
when I hear the silly things that you say
I think somebody better put out the big light
cause I can't stand to see you this way
Alison, I know this world is killing you
Oh, Alison, my aim is true
My aim is true

Where's My Apple Pie?
Where's My Apple Pie?
Composer(s): Joan Baez
Performer(s): Joan Baez
Been sitting on old park benches
Brother, hasn't it been fun?
But you remember me from the trenches
I fought in World War One
Yes, you saw us off at the troop train
Smiling a brave goodbye
But where were you when we came home
To claim our apple pie
Oh where's our apple pie, my friends?
Where's our apple pie?
We've walked and wheeled from the battlefield
Now where's our apple pie?
World War Two was a favorite
God was surely on our side
The teenage kids enlisted with
The blessings of their daddys' pride
Well the wars may change but not so the glaze
In the young boys' eyes
When they cry out for their mamas
In the hours before they die
Oh where's our apple pie, my friends?
Where's our apple pie?
We've walked and wheeled from the battlefield
Now where's our apple pie?
I volunteered for the last one
And I don't want to moralize
But somehow I thought we deserved the best
For the way we threw away our lives
For we all believed in something
I know it wasn't very clear
But I know it wasn't rats in a hospital room
And a broken-down wheelchair
Oh where's our apple pie, my friends?
Where's our apple pie?
We've walked and wheeled from the battlefield
Now where's our apple pie?
Yes, Johnny finally got his gun
Before he got his apple pie
Now he hasn't got a hand to eat it with
But still he doesn't want to die
Because he prefers to go on fighting
And let his baby brother know
When the next time around the call goes out
It's "Hell no, we won't go!"
There'll be no World War Three, my friends
There'll be no World War Three
We've walked and wheeled from the battlefield
There'll be no World War Three

Ik sta op een brug, het wordt avond
Daar in het water, zie ik jouw gezicht
Ik wil jouw beeld, heel zachtjes strelen
Blijf je nog even, deel mijn verdriet
'k Voel me zo leeg, zo leeg
Aline, 'k wil jou terug
'k Voel me zo leeg, zo leeg
Oh, 'k had nooit zo'n verdiet
Ik heb jou gezocht
Dagen en weken
Bij vrienden en vreemden
Maar van jou geen spoor
Jouw huis staat nu leeg
De tijd zo verlaten
Ik moet jou vergeten
Maar 'k wil jou terug
'k Voel me zo leeg, zo leeg
Aline, 'k wil jou terug

Where's Me Shirt?
Where's Me Shirt?
Performer(s): Ken Dodd
Well it all began in the year of one
When Adam was the first man
And a girl called Eve, so we believe
Was made to be his woman
She led him up the Garden of Eden, by a tree
Then she offered him her apple
And he cried out suddenly (eee-eeee-eeeee)
Where's me shirt?
Where's me shirt?
I feel a proper twazzer without me shirt
I've got me tickling-tackle and me nicky-nocky-noo
But I must confess I feel undressed
Like this, in front of you
Where's me shirt?
I can't find me shirt anywhere
It's twenty-five past five in the Garden of Eden and I can't find me shirt
Fancy leaving me in a garden with no shirt on, like this
Look at all these creepy-crawly things here
Ooh, look, there's a serpent
Go 'way
Go 'way you nasty old serpent
Go on, shoo!
Go on, shoo!
Since the days of old, we've all been told
Of men like Bonaperte
His great retreat and his first defeat
Was the thing that broke his heart
He stuck just outside Moscow and then made history
He stuck his hand inside his coat
And cried out bitterly (eee-eeee-eeeee)
Where's me shirt?
Where's me shirt?
I can't go on like zis, wizout my shirt
I've had my tickle-tonic on my nicky-nocky-nee
But I just can't go through all this snow
Without a shirt on me
Where's me shirt?
Oh, sacre blue
Sacre flippin' blue, where's me shirt?
By Jove, t'ain't 'alf frosty
Ooh, ooh, this tent isn't 'alf drafty
I don't know where the draft's comin' from, but I know where it's goin' to
Back in eighty-one, in the mid-day sun
In Tombstone, one September
Wyatt Earp was due to go into
A gunfight he'd remember
The Clanton's and McLourys started firin' suddenly
As the gunsmoke cleared and the twonsfolk cheered
Wyatt Earp said quietly (eee-eeee-eeeee)
Where's me shirt?
Where's me shirt?
I feel a proper twit without me shirt
I've lost me ticklin'-tackle and me nicky-nocky-nee
But I feel a twerp, me Wyatt Earp
With my shirt shot off o' me
Ere, where's me shirt?
Where's me gunfightin' shirt?
Ooh, I say, here comes the Indians
'Ere, you be careful where you're shootin' those arrows
Where's me shirt?
Where's me shir...
I can't find me shirt anywhere
D'you know, I'm sure I had it when I came out
Where's me shirt?

J'avais dessiné sur le sable
Son doux visage, qui me souriait
Puis il a plu, sur cette plage
Dans cet orage, elle a disparu
Et j'ai crié, crié Aline pour qu'elle revienne
Et j'ai pleuré, pleuré oh j'avais trop de peine
Je me suis assis, auprès de son âme
Mais la belle dame, s'était enfuie
Je l'ai cherché, sans plus y croire
Et sans un espoir, pour me guider
Et j'ai crié, crié Aline pour qu'elle revienne
Et j'ai pleuré, pleuré oh j'avais trop de peine
Je n'ai gardé, que ce doux visage
Comme une épave, sur le sable mouillé
Et j'ai crié, crié Aline pour qu'elle revienne
Et j'ai pleuré, pleuré oh j'avais trop de peine
Et j'ai crié, crié Aline pour qu'elle revienne
Et j'ai pleuré, pleuré oh j'avais trop de peine
Et j'ai crié, crié Aline pour qu'elle revienne
Et j'ai pleuré, pleuré oh j'avais trop de peine

Wherefore And Why
Wherefore And Why
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot;
and various other artists
When I awoke this mornin', something inside of me
Told me this would be my day
I heard the mornin' train, I felt the wind change
Too many times I'm on my way
Come on sunshine, what can you show me
Where can you take me and make me understand
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain
Then I saw the Sun rise above the cotton sky
Like a candycane delight
I saw the milkman, I saw the business man
I saw the only road in sight
Then I got to thinkin' what makes you want to go
To know the wherefore and the why
So many times now, oh Lord, I can't remember
If it's September or July
Come on sunshine, what can you show me
Where can you take me and make me understand
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain
Then all at once it came to me, I saw the wherefore
And you can see it if you try
It's in the Sun above, it's in the one you love
You'll never know the reason why
Come on sunshine, what can you show me
Where can you take me to make me understand
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain
So much to lose, so much to gain

Covered by multiple other artists
In the wintertime keep your feet warm
But keep your clothes on and don't forget me
Keep the memories
But keep your powder dry too
In the summer by the poolside
While the fireflies are all around you
All miss you when I'm lonely
I'll miss the alimony too
Don't forget me - don't forget me
Take it easy if only for a little while
You know I think about you
Let me know you think about me too
And when we're older and full of cancer
It doesn't matter, come on get happy
`Cause nothing lasts forever
But I will always love you
Don't forget me, please don't forget me
Make it easy if just for a little while
You know I think about you
Let me know you think about me too

Where You Lead
Where You Lead
Composer(s): Carole King; Toni Stern
Performer(s): Faith Hill;
and various other artists
Wanting you the way I do
I only want to be with you
And I would go
To the ends of the earth
`Cause, darling
To me that's what
You're worth
Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead
If you're out on the road
Feeling lonely, and so cold
All you have to do is call my name
And I'll be there on the next train
Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead
I always wanted a real home
With flowers in the window sill
But if you want to live in New York City
Honey, you know I will
I never thought I could get satisfaction
From just one man
If anyone can keep me happy
You're the one who can
Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need to be with you
I will follow
Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need to be with you
I will follow where you lead
Oh, yes I will
Oh, I'm gonna follow where you lead
I'm gonna follow where you lead
Oh, I'm gonna follow where you lead
I will follow
I will follow
Oh, yes I will

Alien (I Am)
Alien (I Am)
Composer(s): Dave Brock
Performer(s): Hawkwind
Squatting in your bodies, microscopic breeding
I sleep in you and eat from within
I am the Alien
We are here to help you
Make the mend in the chemical bend
We are the Aliens
I lack emotion, have no love that I can find
I want some devotion, to ease a worried mind
The heart is softened, soul is scorched
The mind erodes away some sentimental thought
The window crackes is closed
The door slams shut, the lights put out
Say no more, speak no less
For you I become the Alien I am
For you I become the Alien I am
The cry primal is muffled, the mouth seal's tight
The eye looks within, say no more, speak no less
I the Alien
I am the Alien
Reject your human touch
I lack emotion, have no love that I can find
I want some devotion, to ease a worried mind
The heart is softened, soul is scorched
The mind erodes away some sentimental thought
This is Alien control, calling space ship Earth
Alien control calling Earth, are you receiving Earth?
Are you receiving...
We are the Aliens
We have warned you about...
The Danger
We are ... We are ... We are ... We are ...

Where Would I Be

Performer(s): Edgar Winter
Where would I be, without you?
You give me hope and inspiration to get me through
You're a lovin' kind of woman: Understanding
Lord, I love you
Where would I be without you?
Joy follows you wherever you are
Now you spread love and affection near and far
You've got shiny skies above you, birds around you
Lord, I love you
Joy follows you wherever you are
Where would I be without you?
There's a reason now in everything I do
Spring was surely fashioned of you, likened somehow
Lord I love you
Where would I be without you?
Baby without you, to see me through
without you, to get me through

Are you an alien
are you from this earth
would you care to tell me
details of birth
did you just emerge from thin air
can you even tell me

jet age dreams
from days gone by
the circle in te forest
where they dnced beneath the sky
...beneath the sky...
beneath the sky
do you know my thoughts
can you read my mind
would you dare to tell me
what it is you find
come on now tell me what you find
what lays hidden in my mind
I can see through you
I can hear you too
I can feel you touch my mind
did they paint your face
in ancient times
were they talking 'bout you
in celtic rhymes
can I just reach out
pull back the shroud
would you let me hold you
would it be allowed
are you the legend
did they call you seer
would you let me hold you
would ou disappear...

Where Will The Words Come From?
Where Will The Words Come From?
Composer(s): Sonny Curtis; Glen D. Hardin
Performer(s): Gary Lewis and The Playboys;
Rosanne Cash
Where will the words come from
When I tell you I don't love you anymore?
When I command my lips to say
"It's over now, please go away"
Will the words be there
Or will they fail me like they've always done before?
Where will the words come from
When I tell you I don't want you, I don't love you anymore
What happened to the love we had when it went away?
Did it change itself into a cloud & become a rainy day?
Where will the words come from
When I tell you I don't want you, I don't love you anymore
Where will the words come from
When I tell you I don't love you anymore?
When I search inside my soul
For words to tell of love grown cold
Will the words be there
Or will they fail me like they've always done before?
Where will the words come from
When I tell you I don't want you, I don't love you anymore

Alice's Restaurant
Alice's Restaurant
Composer(s): Arlo Guthrie
Performer(s): Arlo Guthrie; Enoch Light; The New Christy Minstrels
This song is called Alice's Restaurant, and it's about Alice, and the restaurant
but Alice's Restaurant is not the name of the restaurant, that's just the name of the song
and that's why I called the song Alice's Restaurant
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
Now it all started two Thanksgivings ago, was on - two years ago on Thanksgiving
when my friend and I went up to visit Alice at the restaurant
but Alice doesn't live in the restaurant, she lives in the church nearby the restaurant
in the bell-tower, with her husband Ray and Fasha the dog
And livin' in the bell tower like that, they got a lot of room downstairs where the pews used to be in
Havin' all that room, seein' as how they took out all the pews
they decided that they didn't have to take out their garbage for a long time
We got up there, we found all the garbage in there
and we decided it'd be a friendly gesture for us to take the garbage down to the city dump
So we took the half a ton of garbage, put it in the back of a red VW microbus
took shovels and rakes and implements of destruction and headed on toward the city dump
Well we got there and there was a big sign and a chain across across the dump saying, "Closed on Thanksgiving"
And we had never heard of a dump closed on Thanksgiving before
and with tears in our eyes we drove off into the sunset looking for another place to put the garbage
We didn't find one
Until we came to a side road, and off the side of the side road there was another fifteen foot cliff
and at the bottom of the cliff there was another pile of garbage
And we decided that one big pile is better than two little piles
and rather than bring that one up we decided to throw our's down
That's what we did, and drove back to the church, had a thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat
went to sleep and didn't get up until the next morning, when we got a phone call from officer Obie
He said, "Kid, we found your name on an envelope at the bottom of a half a ton of garbage
and just wanted to know if you had any information about it"
And I said, "Yes, sir, Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie, I put that envelope under that garbage"
After speaking to Obie for about fourty-five minutes on the telephone
we finally arrived at the truth of the matter and said that we had to go down and pick up the garbage
and also had to go down and speak to him at the police officer's station
So we got in the red VW microbus with the shovels and rakes and implements of destruction
and headed on toward the police officer's station
Now friends, there was only one or two things that Obie coulda done at the police station
and the first was he could have given us a medal for being so brave and honest on the telephone
which wasn't very likely, and we didn't expect it
and the other thing was he could have bawled us out and told us never to be see driving garbage around the vicinity again
which is what we expected, but when we got to the police officer's station
there was a third possibility that we hadn't even counted upon, and we was both immediately arrested
Handcuffed
And I said "Obie, I don't think I can pick up the garbage with these handcuffs on"
He said, "Shut up, kid
Get in the back of the patrol car"
And that's what we did, sat in the back of the patrol car and drove to the quote Scene of the Crime unquote
I want tell you about the town of Stockbridge, Massachusets, where this happened here
they got three stop signs, two police officers, and one police car
but when we got to the Scene of the Crime there was five police officers and three police cars
being the biggest crime of the last fifty years, and everybody wanted to get in the newspaper story about it
And they was using up all kinds of cop equipment that they had hanging around the police officer's station
They was taking plaster tire tracks, foot prints, dog smelling prints
and they took twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles and arrows
and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us
Took pictures of the approach, the getaway, the northwest corner the southwest corner
and that's not to mention the aerial photography
After the ordeal, we went back to the jail
Obie said he was going to put us in the cell
Said, "Kid, I'm going to put you in the cell, I want your wallet and your belt"
And I said, "Obie, I can understand you wanting my wallet so I don't have any money to spend in the cell
but what do you want my belt for?"
And he said, "Kid, we don't want any hangings"
I said, "Obie, did you think I was going to hang myself for littering?"
Obie said he was making sure, and friends Obie was, 'cause he took out the toilet seat
so I couldn't hit myself over the head and drown, and he took out the toilet paper so I couldn't bend the bars roll out the
roll the toilet paper out the window, slide down the roll and have an escape
Obie was making sure, and it was about four or five hours later that Alice (remember Alice? It's a song about Alice)
Alice came by and with a few nasty words to Obie on the side, bailed us out of jail, and we went back to the church
had a another thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat, and didn't get up until the next morning
when we all had to go to court
We walked in, sat down, Obie came in with the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures
with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one, sat down
Man came in said, "All rise"
We all stood up, and Obie stood up with the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures
and the judge walked in sat down with a seeing eye dog, and he sat down, we sat down
Obie looked at the seeing eye dog, and then at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures
with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one, and looked at the seeing eye dog
And then at twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows
and a paragraph on the back of each one and began to cry
'cause Obie came to the realization that it was a typical case of American blind justice
and there wasn't nothing he could do about it
and the judge wasn't going to look at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with the circles and arrows
and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us
And we was fined $50 and had to pick up the garbage in the snow, but that's not what I came to tell you about
Came to talk about the draft
They got a building down New York City, it's called Whitehall Street, where you walk in
you get injected, inspected, detected, infected, neglected and selected
I went down to get my physical examination one day, and I walked in, I sat down
got good and drunk the night before, so I looked and felt my best when I went in that morning
`Cause I wanted to look like the all-American kid from New York City, man I wanted
I wanted to feel like the all-, I wanted to be the all American kid from New York
and I walked in, sat down, I was hung down, brung down, hung up, and all kinds o' mean nasty ugly things
And I waked in and sat down and they gave me a piece of paper, said, "Kid, see the phsychiatrist, room 604"
And I went up there, I said, "Shrink, I want to kill
I mean, I wanna, I wanna kill
Kill
I wanna, I wanna see
I wanna see blood and gore and guts and veins in my teeth
Eat dead burnt bodies
I mean kill, Kill, Kill, Kill"
And I started jumping up and down yelling, "Kill, Kill"
and he started jumping up and down with me and we was both jumping up and down yelling, "Kill, Kill"
And the sergeant came over, pinned a medal on me, sent me down the hall, said, "You're our boy"
Didn't feel too good about it
Proceeded on down the hall gettin more injections, inspections, detections, neglections
and all kinds of stuff that they was doin' to me at the thing there
and I was there for two hours, three hours, four hours, I was there for a long time
going through all kinds of mean nasty ugly things and I was just having a tough time there
and they was inspecting, injecting every single part of me, and they was leaving no part untouched
Proceeded through, and when I finally came to the see the last man, I walked in
walked in sat down after a whole big thing there, and I walked up and said, "What do you want?"
He said, "Kid, we only got one question
Have you ever been arrested?"
And I proceeded to tell him the story of the Alice's Restaurant Massacre
with full orchestration and five part harmony and stuff like that and all the phenome...
and he stopped me right there and said, "Kid, did you ever go to court?"
And I proceeded to tell him the story of the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures
with the circles and arrows and the paragraph on the back of each one, and he stopped me right there and said
"Kid, I want you to go and sit down on that bench that says Group W .... Now kid!!"
And I, I walked over to the, to the bench there, and there is
Group W's where they put you if you may not be moral enough to join the army after committing your special crime
and there was all kinds of mean nasty ugly looking people on the bench there
Mother rapers
Father stabbers
Father rapers!
Father rapers sitting right there on the bench next to me!
And they was mean and nasty and ugly and horrible crime-type guys sitting on the bench next to me
And the meanest, ugliest, nastiest one, the meanest father raper of them all, was coming over to me
and he was mean 'n' ugly 'n' nasty 'n' horrible and all kind of things and he sat down next to me and said, "Kid, whad'ya get?"
I said, "I didn't get nothing, I had to pay $50 and pick up the garbage"
He said, "What were you arrested for, kid?"
And I said, "Littering"
And they all moved away from me on the bench there, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things
till I said, "And creating a nuisance"
And they all came back, shook my hand, and we had a great time on the bench
talking about crime, mother stabbing, father raping, all kinds of groovy things that we was talking about on the bench
And everything was fine, we was smoking cigarettes and all kinds of things, until the Sergeant came over
had some paper in his hand, held it up and said
"Kids, this-piece-of-paper's-got-47-words-37-sentences-58-words-we-wanna-know-details-of-the-crime-time-of-the-crime-and-
any-other-kind-of-thing-you-gotta-say-pertaining-to-and-about-the-crime-I-want-to-know-arresting-officer's-name-and-any-
other-kind-of-thing-you-gotta-say", and talked for forty-five minutes and nobody understood a word that he said
but we had fun filling out the forms and playing with the pencils on the bench there
and I filled out the massacre with the four part harmony, and wrote it down there, just like it was
and everything was fine and I put down the pencil, and I turned over the piece of paper, and there, there on the other side
in the middle of the other side, away from everything else on the other side
in parentheses, capital letters, quotated, read the following words
("Kid, Have You Rehabilitated Yourself?")
I went over to the sergeant, said, "Sergeant, you got a lot a damn gall to ask me if I've rehabilitated myself
I mean, I mean, I mean that just, I'm sittin' here on the bench, I mean I'm sittin here on the Group W bench
'cause you want to know if I'm moral enough join the army, burn women, kids, houses and villages after bein' a litterbug"
He looked at me and said, "Kid, we don't like your kind, and we're gonna send you fingerprints off to Washington"
And friends, somewhere in Washington enshrined in some little folder, is a study in black and white of my fingerprints
And the only reason I'm singing you this song now is 'cause you may know somebody in a similar situation
or you may be in a similar situation, and if your in a situation like that there's only one thing you can do
and that's walk into the shrink wherever you are, just walk in say "Shrink, You can get anything you want, at Alice's restaurant"
And walk out
You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and they won't take him
And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them
And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singing a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out
They may think it's an organization
And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said fifty people a day walking in
singing a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out
And friends they may thinks it's a movement
And that's what it is , the Alice's Restaurant Anti-Massacre Movement
and all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it come's around on the guitar
With feeling
So we'll wait for it to come around on the guitar, here and sing it when it does
Here it comes
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
That was horrible
If you want to end war and stuff you got to sing loud
I've been singing this song now for twenty five minutes
I could sing it for another twenty five minutes
I'm not proud... or tired
So we'll wait till it comes around again, and this time with four part harmony and feeling
We're just waitin' for it to come around is what we're doing
All right now
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Excepting Alice
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Da da da da da da da dum
At Alice's Restaurant

Where Will The Dimple Be?
Where Will The Dimple Be?
Composer(s): Bob Merrill; Al Hoffman
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney; Alma Cogan
Chorus:
On the baby's knuckle, on the baby's knee
Where will the baby's dimple be?
Baby's cheek or baby's chin
Seems to me it'll be a sin
If it's always covered by the safety-pin
Where will the dimple be?
Every night we stay at home, my love and me alone
Making wishes over dishes in the sink
Will our bundle full of joy be a darling girl or boy?
Will the booties be a baby blue or pink?
Chorus
Now I wake up every night with such an appetite
Eat a chocolate pie, topped off with sauerkraut
Then I put some records on, munch on crackers until dawn
And just sit around all night and try to guess
Chorus
While I play the clinging vine, I watch that love of mine
Build him cradles while I'm pecking at his cheek
Not just one, but two or three, twins run in my family
And my cousin Jane had triplets just last week
Chorus x2

Where Were You When I Needed You
Composer(s): Steve Barri; P.F. Sloan
Performer(s): The Grass Roots;
and various other artists
Don't bother crying
Don't bother calling
It's all over now
There's no use in stalling
The love I once felt
I don't feel anymore for you
This time I'll even open the door for you
You walked out when I was down
Well now I'm well off
And look, look whose comin' round
Where were you when I needed you
Where were you when I wanted you
Where were you when I need you
Where
You're looking good, it's hard to fight it
But no use explain'
I've already decided
That goin' with you
Is worse than without you
I won't spend a lifetime worryin' about you
When things got bad
You disappeared
But I'm back on my feet
And look, look whose standin' there
Where were you when I neeed you
Where were you when I wanted you
Where were you when I needed you
Where
You were so young
And you were so wild
I knew you were nobody's innocent child
That first day I saw you
You really got to me
I thought I could change you
What good did it do me
When times got rought
Ah, you would't wait
Well now you're trippin' back
And babe, babe it's too late
Where were you when I needed you
Where were you when I wanted you
Where were you when I needed you
Where (etc.)

You're still my favorite girlfriend
Alice Long
And I don't forget about you
When you're gone
Even though right now you feel you don't belong
You're still my favorite girlfriend
Alice Long
We both agreed that to get along
To talk things over as they come up
So if you think we don't see each other enough
Then let's talk it over
When we're together
Nothing can keep us apart
But if I ever forget to (??-unclear)
But whatever
You're still a part of my heart
Can't you see
Can't you see
Oh you're still my favorite girlfriend
Alice Long
But you can't hold on to love by holding on
When I am with you girl or when I'm gone
Just remember
You're still my favorite girlfriend
Alice Alice Alice Alice Alice Alice
You're still my favorite girlfriend
Alice Long
And I don't forget about you
When you're gone
Even though right now you feel you don't belong
You're still my favorite girlfriend
You're still my favorite girlfriend
You're still my favorite girlfriend
Alice Long ...
