Who Could Forget You
Who Could Forget You
French Title: Inoubliable
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Pierre Delanoë
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Who could forget you
Who could regret you
Can't hold the shifting sands
Madness to love you
But I have to
My life is in your hands, and
Who could forget you
Once I had met you
Nothing could be the same
Fire and water
Angel's face and devil's daughter
For you, love's just a game
We were lovers, then engaged
And in desire chained
each other as emotion raged
Impassioned and insane
Still our bound remains
To survive even death
Written in our stars and blood
Eternally, we'll love together
Who could forget you
Who could regret you
No one could take your place
Illuminating, ever-changing, fascinating
Your presence thrills me, your being fills me
You are my state of grace
Who could forget you
Destiny sent you
Child of confusing charms
Contrite, concealing
In the naked night revealing
When you caress me
Then you possess me
In dreams, and in my arms

All I Am
All I Am
Composer(s): Lynsey De Paul - Susan Sheridan
First release by: Marti Webb - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists
Who do you think you see
When you look at me
Is it somebody strong
Somebody you could admire
And who do you think I am
When I take your hand
Are you counting on me
To fill your dreams and your desires...
Well all I am
Is lonely (just) like you
All I wanna do
Is have one dream come true
All I am is handing you my heart
And hoping to be part of you
Who do you think you are
Standing in the dark
Are you waiting for me
Why can't I reach you from here
And how do I get to you
Won't you let me through
Don't you think maybe we
Have something special to be shared...
Well all I am
Is lonely (just) like you
All I wanna do
Is have one dream come true
All I am is handing you my heart
And hoping to be part of you

Who Can It Be Now?
Who Can It Be Now?
Composer(s): Colin Hay
Performer(s): Men At Work;
and various other artists
Who can it be knocking at my door?
Go ’way, don’t come ’round here no more
Can’t you see that it’s late at night?
I’m very tired, and I’m not feeling right
All I wish is to be alone
Stay away, don’t you invade my home
Best off if you hang outside
Don’t come in - I’ll only run and hide
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be knocking at my door?
Make no sound, tip-toe across the floor
If he hears, he’ll knock all day
I’ll be trapped, and here I’ll have to stay
I’ve done no harm, I keep to myself
There’s nothing wrong with my state of mental health
I like it here with my childhood friend
Here they come, those feelings again!
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Is it the man come to take me away?
Why do they follow me?
It’s not the future that I can see
It’s just my fantasy
Oh...who can it be now?
Oh...who can it...who can it...
Yeah yeah yeah

All His Children
All His Children
Composer(s): Alan Bergman - Marilyn Bergman - Henry Mancini
Performer(s): Henry Mancini
and multiple other artists
When you're standing alone with the mountains and the sea
Where the arms of the world are open wide
Where the truth is as plain as the falling rain
And as sure as the time and the tide
You know we're all his children, his next of kin
That's the way it's began
No matter where you're going or where you've been
You're part of the family of man
When you walk down the road and the sun is on your side
With the sweet river breeze on your face
Though you don't hear a sound as you look around
Everything sort of falls into place
You know we're all his children, his next of kin
That's the way it's began
No matter where you're going or where you've been
You're part of the family of man

Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)
Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse; Anthony Newley
Performer(s): Tony Bennett;
and various other artists
Who can I turn to when nobody needs me?
My heart wants to know and so I must go where destiny leads me
With no star to guide me and no one beside me
I'll go on my way and, after the day, the darkness will hide me
And maybe tomorrow I'll find what I'm after
I'll throw off my sorrow, beg, steal, or borrow my share of laughter
With you I could learn to, with you what a new day
But who can I turn to if you turn away?
With you I could learn to, with you what a new day
But who can I turn to if you turn away?

All Good Things
All Good Things
Composer(s): John Woloschuk
Performer(s): Klaatu
I never had a closer friend than you
I never had such good times as the ones we used to have together
You're the one I told my problems to
Throughout the years remained true blue
No I never had a closer friend than you
But all good things must end
No use trying to pretend it isn't so
When it's time you gotta go
But I never had a better friend than you
I know it sounds a trifle odd
To those who've never had a dog
But I never had a closer friend than you
But all good things must end
No use crying for the dead and that's a fact
All my tears won't bring you back
But I never had a better friend than you
No I'll never have a better friend than you

Who Can I Run To?
Who Can I Run To?
Composer(s): Frank Alstin; Richard Roebuck; Charles Simmons
Performer(s): The Jones Girls;
and various other artists
Ha...
As I stand here contemplating
On the right thing to decide
Will I take the wrong direction all my life
Where will I go, will I go `head of me
I have strong determination
And I'm not afraid of change
I have yet to find that someone who would care
To satisfy me, to stay right by me, oh
Who can I run to (Who can I run to)
To share this empty space (Tell me)
Who can I run to
When I need love
Who can I run to (Who can I run to)
To fill this empty face with laughter
Who can I run to
When I need love (Oh, oh)
In my mind it's so confusing
Who will be that special one
Every day I'm trying to find you on the run
I've got to know is there a place for me
I know love counts for many meanings
In a message very clear
All it takes is time and patience to bring you near
But who's got me, tell me
Who can I run to (Who can I run to)
To share this empty space
Who can I run to
When I need love
Who can I run to
To fill this empty face with laughter
Who can I run to
When I need love
(Who)
(Ah...ha...ah...yeah...eah...)
(Tell me)
Who can (Who, who, yeah)
Who can I run to (Can I run to)
Who
When I need love (Tell me)
Who can (Who)
Who can I run to (Can I run to)
Who
When I need love (When I need love)
Who can (I wanna know)
Who can I run to (Who can I run to)
Who
When I need love (I need love)

All Going Back
All Going Back
Performer(s): George Formby
Now it’s funny where some women live who sing upon the stage
They live in places where they’ve never been
They’ll rave about the roses that are growing round the door
Of that, the dear old home they’ve never seen
They’ve lived in Arizona, they’ve lived in Alabam
Last year they all lived down in Texas way
It must be quite a job to move the dear old home about
But just the same this year you’ll hear them say
They’re all going back, they’re all going back
They’re all going back to Tennessee – and Dixie
They’ve all got mothers there and fathers by the score
They’ve moved the poor old folk about until their feet are sore
All of them say when they get back they’ll stay
What an overcrowded country it will be
But just one thing worries me
When they all go back to Tennessee
There’ll be no one left in Wigan but me

Who By Fire
Who By Fire
Composer(s): Leonard Cohen
Performer(s): Leonard Cohen;
and various other artists
And who by fire, who by water
who in the sunshine, who in the night time
who by high ordeal, who by common trial
who in your merry merry month of May
who by very slow decay
and who shall I say is calling?
And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate
who in these realms of love, who by something blunt
and who by avalanche, who by powder
who for his greed, who for his hunger
and who shall I say is calling?
And who by brave assent, who by accident
who in solitude, who in this mirror
who by his lady's command, who by his own hand
who in mortal chains, who in power
and who shall I say is calling?

I got a frown, you got a frown
All God's chillun got a frown on their face

Maybe haven't got money or maybe haven't got shoes
All God's chillun got rhythm for to push, for to push
For to push away their blues
All God's children got trouble, troubles do-on't mean a thing
When they start to go ho-ho-ho
The old troubles bound to go 'way, say

Swing it high, swing it low, hell, let 'em go, ha-ha, go
Swing it up, swing it down, he-ell, let it go, oh-ho, yes
Ain't got money, ain't got shoes
All God's chillun got rhythm
For to push away their dog-gone weary blues
Three cheers for the red, white and blue
Swing it up to the sky, don't ask how, don't ask why
Brother, go-go-oh-ho, blow-blow, 'way-hay-ay... the-em
Them dog-gone, shoo 'em now
Swing - swing - swing...

Who Broke The Lock (On The Henhouse Door)?
Who Broke The Lock (On The Henhouse Door)?
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Unique Quartette;
and various other artists
Well, a hen and a rooster from way out West
Said the hen to the rooster, "I love you the best"
The rooster said, "You're a pop-eyed liar,
I seen you flirting with the big Shanghai"
Who broke the lock? I don't know
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Well, I'll find out before I go
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Down in the henhouse on my knees
I thought I heard a chicken sneeze
It was only rooster saying his prayers
And thanking the Lord for the hens upstairs
Who broke the lock? I don't know
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Well, I'll find out before I go
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Now, my old hen's a good old hen
But she ain't laid a egg since I don't know when
Old hen cackle, cackling a lot
Next time she cackle, gonna cackle in the pot
Who broke the lock? I don't know
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Well, I'll find out before I go
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Now, there was an old rooster 'bout forty years old
He'd done lots of things that'd never been told
His toes curled up, he could not scratch
But the young hens say his eggs still hatch
Who broke the lock? I don't know
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Well, I'll find out before I go
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Now, the old rooster he said to the hen
"You know I love you, so let me in"
The hen said, "No! Just go away"
I'm sitting with my egg that I did lay
Who broke the lock? I don't know
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Well, I'll find out before I go
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Said the big red rooster to the little red hen
"You ain't laid an egg in the Lord knows when"
Said the little red hen to the big red rooster
"You ain't been around quite as often as you used to"
Who broke the lock? I don't know
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Well, I'll find out before I go
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Then the old fox said to the hen
"Open up the door or I'll break it in"
The hen said, "No!" and began to squawk
Ordered the rooster to secure the lock
Who broke the lock? I don't know
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Well, I'll find out before I go
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Down by the farmer's barnyard gate
Blowed my horn, both soon and late
Farmer's dog couldn't bark nor bite
But the son of a gun, he could read and write
Who broke the lock? I don't know
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Well, I'll find out before I go
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Now, Deacon Johnson and Missus Jones
Used to fool around when Jones weren't home
Come home one morning 'bout a quarter to four
Who went out that back door
Who broke the lock? I don't know
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Well, I'll find out before I go
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door

Performer(s): Dave Dudley
Well the flags pushed down and the meter is a tickin' away
I got another fare and I made a lot of trips today
There's another learner driver to hack
Gotta get 'em there and bring 'em back
I'm a taxi cab driver and I make my living this way
Well the depot next and there's not much time to spare
I'm in a real traffic jam and my passengers a pullin' his hair
If I get him to the station on time I bet he's gonna tip a dime
Six days at the wheel with a speed zone on my mind
One eye on the road and another in the rear view mirror
Not much goes on that I don't see or hear
Well how about the sites I've seen
All that red lights are turning green
I'm a taxi cab driver if you get just what I mean
I know every hotel motel and cafe
Every after hours spot a little bit out of the way
Where the party's go on till dawn
Well I'll take you then I'm gone
I'm a taxi cab driver and I got to be a rolling on
Well it's early in the morning and everything is closin' down
Still got a live one wants to do the town
After I get rid of this stray I'm really gonna hit the hay
I'm a taxi cab driver and I make my living this way
I'm a tired cab driver and I make my living this way
I'm a taxi cab driver and I make my living this way

Who Are You With Tonight?
Who Are You With Tonight?
Composer(s): Harry Williams; Egbert Van Alstyne
Bill Bounder was a rounder, just as round as he could be
He rounded all around the town with all the girls he'd see
at luncheon he had Genevieve, at dinner he had Flo'
and then he had somebody else each evening at the show
a young soubrette but old coquette said
"I remember you, I've seen you out with Mandie and I've seen you out with Sue
but
One night he phoned his wife that bu'ness kept him down you see
then in a private dinner room, as comfy as could be
with such a little queen he sat, till thro' the open door he heard a voice
a voice he knew, that he had heard before
his wifey took a single look then took him by the ear, to lead him home
no more to roam and shouted: "Sir, look here!
Who are you with tonight, tonight?
Oh! Who are you with tonight?
Who is the dreamy peach and creamy vision of sweet delight?
is it your little sister, Mister?
answer me honor bright
will you tell your wife in the morning who you were with tonight?
Who are you with tonight, tonight?
Oh! Who are you with tonight?
Who is the dreamy peach and creamy vision of sweet delight?
is it your little sister, Mister?
answer me honor bright
will you tell the judge in the morning who you were with tonight?

Who Are You?
Who Are You?
Composer(s): Pete Townshend
Performer(s): The Who
I woke up in a Soho doorway
The policeman knew my name
He said, "You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away"
I staggered back to the underground
The breeze blew back my hair
I remembered throwing punches around
And preaching from my chair
Who are you
Hu, hu, hu, hu
Who are you
Hu, hu, hu, hu
I took the tube back out of town
Home to the rolling pin
I felt a little like a dying clown
But with a streak of Rin Tin Tin
I stretched back and I hiccuped
Looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the tin pan
God there's got to be another way
Who are you
Hu, hu, hu, hu
Who are you
Hu, hu, hu, hu
There's a place where I know you walked
The love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup
I only feel right on my knees
I spill out like a sewer hole
Yet still receive your kiss
How can I measure up to anyone new
After such a love as this
Who are you
Hu, hu, hu, hu
Who are you
Hu, hu, hu, hu

Last Day In The Mines
Composer(s): Jimmy Key
Performer(s): Dave Dudley
For as long as I can remember I've worked down in this pit
But today it's all over for this is the day I quit
I'm gonna take my sweet little Ginny and make her my own
We gonna move down in the valley and built ourselves a home
This is the last day in the mines
Well I swing that pick move that shovel and time goes so slow
I can hardly wait for my boss to tell me that it's time to go
Up at the top I know my Ginny is waiting patiently
In just a few minutes I'll be there with her and from the mines be free
This is the last day in the mines
But wait a minute what's that rumble way back in the ground
Good Lord it's a cave in and the rocks are a fallin' all around
Now the timbers are breakin' and the rats are runnin' and I can hardly see
Inside my chest there's a mighty burnin' and my strenght is leavin' me
This is the last day in the mines
Beneath these rocks and timbers and with my strenght all gone
My thoughts turn to Ginny I must leave her all alone
I know they'll try to save me but they gonna be too late
For over that river through that valley I see heaven's gates
This is the last day in the mines
Oh this is the last day in the mines this is the last day in the mines

Who Are We To Say? (Obey Your Heart)
Composer(s): Sigmund Romberg; Gus Kahn
Performer(s): Nelson Eddy;
Doris Day; Jeanette MacDonald
Love may fill your heart with a strange delight
Love may build a world that is new
Love may leave your heart like a winter night
No one knows just what love will do
Who are we to say
Just what love will do?
Love may live a day, or all life through
Who are we to say
How a rose will grow
It may fade away or bloom and blow
You and I may plan and scheme
And every thing's arranged
Then there comes a vagrant dream
And all the world is changed!
Who are we to say
When to say goodbye
Or to wonder why we two must part
So we live today loving while we may dear
Knowing love would say
Obey your heart
Who are we to say
When to say goodbye
Or to wonder why we two must part
So we live today loving while we may dear
Knowing love would say
Obey your heart

Ahhhhhhhhh....
Tornados spinnin', I sit here grinnin'

Everybodies shouting, how bad it really sucks
Situation normal
All funked up, We're all funked up
We had some leaders, and they were cheaters
But they came out smelling like a rose
We should reject them, but we respect them
For what they do when the door is closed
Nothing in this world a simple man can do
Stand up and be counted, ain't you had enough
Situation normal
All funked up, Yeah we're all funked up
We're funtionally disfuntional
We're funtionally yeah disfuntional
We're all funked up
Uuughh....
Don't you know the meaning of the word snafu
Better known as trouble for me and you
Murphy's law will get ya, he's on his way
Same ol' same ol' shit a different day
Uuughh....
Oh...
Tornados spinnin', I sit here grinnin'
I think we've all seen this movie before
This is confusin', almost amusin'
It's hard to tell up and down anymore
Everybodies shouting, how bad it really sucks
Situation normal
All funked up, we're all funked up...
We're all funked up...
We're all funked up...
Ooooohhhhh....
