All My Hard Times


All My Hard Times
Composer(s): Joe South
Performer(s): Roy Drusky; Joe South



All of my hard times soon be over
All of my hard times soon be over

I've been pushed and I've been shoved
Been put down by the people I love
I've been hurt and I've been scorned
At times I've wished I'd never been born, but...

All of my hard times soon be over
All of my hard times soon be over

I was raised in a two room shack
the only thing I owned was hanging on my back
Been in trouble, thrown in jail
I had nobody to draw my bail, but...

All of my hard times soon be over
All of my hard times soon be over

I been lost, but now I'm found
There ain't no way to keep a good man down
You came along and took my hand
And now I feel like a newborn man and...

All of my hard times soon be over
All of my hard times soon be over
All of my hard times soon be over
All of my hard times soon be over

Who's Zoomin' Who?


Who's Zoomin' Who?
Composer(s): Narada Michael Walden;
Preston Glass; Aretha Franklin
Performer(s): Aretha Franklin



You walked in on the sly
Scopin' for love
In the crowd, I caught your eye
You can't hide your stuff

You came to catch
You thought I'd be naive and tame
You met your match
I beat you at your own game

(chorus)
Who's zoomin' who, take another look, tell me baby
Who's zoomin who...oh
Who's zoomin' who, now the fish jumped off the hook
Didn't I baby...Who's zoomin' who (repeat)

Guess you believed the world
Played by your rules
Here stands an experienced girl
Nobody's fool...

Don't speculate
you thought you had me covered, but
I've got your bait
You're bound to be my lover...oh
(chorus)

You think you're smooth
That you can pick and choose
When the time is right...
But, just look behind, you'll be surprised to find
I'm gonna make you mine tonight...oh
(chorus)

Who's Your Little Who-Zis?
Composer(s): Ben Bernie; Al Goering; Walter Hirsch
Performer(s): Dean Martin; Ben Selvin



Who's your little who-zis
Who's your turtle dove
Who's your little who-zis
Who do you love

Who's the little what's-it
That you're dreaming of
Who's your little who-zis
Who do you love

Tell me, who has you a-flutter
Whenever they're passing by
Melts your little heart like butter
Oh me, oh my

Say, when you get the blue-zis
Who you thinking of
Who's your little who-zis
Who do you love

All My Dreams


All My Dreams
Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde
Performer(s): The Pretenders



All my dreams
Still relive you
If this is what you left for me
I forgive you
Never do I despair
When I kneel to say my prayers
When slumber fills my head
I'll be visiting your bed
All my dreams
Recollect you
And so darling, in a way, our love remains new
Funny little things
You touch my fingers and fondle my rings
Then tenderly without violence, we make love in perfect silence
Come, come into my room again
Come, come again
Oh, come, come into my gloom again
End this solitude again
I finally took that picture down
I've been staring at it for hours and hours
Slipping in and out of consciousness
But what I can't figure out
Why did you do that?
Disappear on me like that?
Oh baby, please come back where I can touch you
Right here where I can see you
Come, come into my room again
Come, come again
Oh baby, come, come into my gloom again
Break, break this solitude again
All my dreams
Of your affection
Never have I known, such sweet perfection
No drug induced bliss
Could ever reach the heights of this
Eternal and so pure
Help me to endure
To endure
All my dreams

Who's Your Baby?


Who's Your Baby?
Composer(s): Jeff Barry; Andy Kim
Performer(s): The Archies



(Ron) Hey, what's your favorite thing in the whole world?
(Donna) [whispers inaudibly]
(Ron) Fantastic!
(Donna) Now you tell me, how much do you love me?
(Ron) Oh, about this much ...
(Donna) Mmmmm, heavy!!!

Who's your baby?
Who's the one you love?
You're the only one for me
Who's your baby?
Who's you dreamin' of?
You're the only one my eyes can see

And let me say, in ev'ry way, you're dynamite
Do you know how good you really are?
Please don't let her stray away, I pray each night
Can't stop now, it's been so good so far
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Who's your baby? (Who's your baby?)
Who's the one you love?
You're the only one for me
(Ah, who's your baby?) Who's your baby?
Who's you dreamin' of?
You're the only one my eyes can see

And upon opening your eyes when morning comes
What's the very first thing on your mind?
If you had enough, hey, won't you give me some
And would a thank-you to you do you fine?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Who's your baby? (Who's your baby?)
Who's the one you love?
You're the only one for me
(Ah, who's your baby?) Who's your baby?
Who's you dreamin' of?
You're the only one my eyes can see

Who's your baby in the mornin'?
Who's your baby at night?
Who do you want when you want somebody to come and hold you tight?
Oh

Who's your baby?
Who's the one you love?
You're the only one for me
(Ah, who's your baby?) Who's your baby?
Who's you dreamin' of?
You're the only one my eyes can see

Who's your baby in the mornin'?
Who's your baby at night?
Who do you want when you want somebody to come and hold you tight?

All My Children Of The Sun


All My Children Of The Sun
Composer(s): Pete Seeger
Performer(s): Pete Seeger



The navigator said to the engineer
I think our radio's dead
I can hear but I can't send
And there's bad weather ahead
The pilot said to the co-pilot
Our right engine's gone
But if we can make it over these mountains
Perhaps I can set her down
All my children of the sun!

Five hundred miles from nowhere
We bellylanded on a river
We bid a quick goodbye
To that ship of silver
Twenty-five piled out the window
Twenty reached the shore
We turned to see our metal bird
Sink to rise no more
All my children of the sun!

We found some floating logs
We found some sharp stones
We cut some vines and made a raft
It was our only hope
The navigator said he thought there was
A town somewhere downstream
So now each tried to do his best
To paddle as a team

All except one young guy
Who kept arguing with the navigator
He said he'd read about a waterfall
We would come to sooner or later
At a river's bend he persuaded us
To bring our craft to beach
But a search party found the river smooth
As far as eye could reach
All my children of the sun

Once again he persuaded us to stop
We cursed at the delay
Once again we found the river
Flowing on the same old way
We said, shut up your arguing
You give us all a pain
Why don't you pitch in and go your part
Be constructive for a change?
All my children of the sun

Still egghead kept on talking
In the same longwinded way
We said, if you won't paddle
Get the hell out of our way
We told him to go sit
Far back at the stern
Then we strained to paddle harder
And then the river made a turn
All my children of the sun

One paddler heard sound of tapping
And what he saw, when he did turn
Was egghead with a sharp stone
Cutting the vines that bound the stern
With a cry of rage the paddler
Leaped up to his feet
He swung his long pole
Knocked egghead into the deep
But now the logs were splaying out
The raft had come unbound
Like mad we paddled for the shore
Before all would drown
All my children of the sun

A search party went out to find more vines
To tie the raft up tight
In twenty minutes they returned
Their faces pale with fright
They said a quarter mile down river
We DID find a waterfall
It's over a hundred feet in height
It would have killed us all
All my children of the sun

And that is why on the banks
Of a far off wilderness stream
Which none of us, none of us
Will ever see again
There stands a cross for someone
Hardly older than a boy
Who, we thought, was only
Trying to destroy
All my children of the sun

Who's The Blonde Stranger?


Who's The Blonde Stranger?
Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett; Will Jennings;
Josh Leo; Michael Utley
Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett



Nothing like this way out in west Texas
Galveston Bay is a whole other world
My wife's in her room getting over her sunburn
How would Louis Lamore get me next to that girl?

She tells me her tan is the same way all over
She asks me to dance and says, "Keep your boots on"
She never met a number one cowboy
We rolled in the sand and drank rum until dawn

Who's the blonde stranger"
Who entered my life"
Making me over on the moonlight
This side of Texas is all new to me
Who's the blonde stranger who lives by the sea?

I stayed up all night and for me that's the first time
Sneak in the room just as cool as I can
Pull back the sheets and the bed is all empty
Except for a note left by some guy named Dan

My head got all light and the room started spinning
I stepped outside just to get some fresh air
Out on a wave was my own darling Lola
And some pretty boy with bleach in his hair

Who's the blonde stranger out there with my wife?
What were they doing in the moonlight?
This side of Texas is all new to me
Who are these strangers who live by the sea?

Back on the ranch and everything's normal
Beach blanket bingo comes on the TV
We talk in our sleep and then the next morning
I ask her who's Dan and she asks who's Marie?

Who's the blonde stranger ...

All Mixed Up


All Mixed Up
Composer(s): Louise Bennett Coverly - Pete Seeger
Performer(s): Peter, Paul and Mary



You know this language that we speak, is part German, Latin and part Greek
Celtic and arabic all in a heap, well amended by the people in the street
The Choctaw gave us the word "okay"; "vamose" is a word from Mexico way
And all of this is a hint I suspect of what comes next

I think that this whole world
Soon mama my whole wide world
Soon mama my whole world
Soon gonna be get mixed up
Soon mama my whole world
Soon mama my whole wide world
Soon mama my whole world
Soon gonna be get mixed up

I like Polish sausage, I like Spanish rice, and pizza pie is also nice
Corn and beans from the Indians here washed down by German beer
Marco Polo traveled by camel and pony, he brought to Italy, the first macaroni
And you and I as well we're able, we put it all on the table

I think that this whole world
Soon mama my whole wide world
Soon mama my whole world
Soon gonna be get mixed up
Soon mama my whole world
Soon mama my whole wide world
Soon mama my whole world
Soon gonna be get mixed up

There were no red-headed Irishmen before the Vikings landed in Ireland
How many Romans had dark curly hair before they brought slaves from Africa?
No race of man is completely pure, nor is anyone's mind, that's for sure
The winds mix the dust of every land, and so will woman and man

I think that this whole world
Soon mama my whole wide world
Soon mama my whole world
Soon gonna be get mixed up
Soon mama my whole world
Soon mama my whole wide world
Soon mama my whole world
Soon gonna be get mixed up

This doesn't mean we will all be the same
We'll have different faces and different names
Long live many different kinds of races
It's a difference of opinion that makes horse races
Just remember the rule about rules, brother
What could be right for one could be wrong for the other
And take a tip from La Belle France: "Vive la différence!"

I think that this whole world
Soon mama my whole wide world
Soon mama my whole world
Soon gonna be get mixed up
Soon mama my whole world
Soon mama my whole wide world
Soon mama my whole world
Soon gonna be get mixed up

Beautiful lady (who's that lady)
Lovely lady (who's that lady)
Real fine lady (who's that lady)

But her heart is made of stone
I would keep on keeping on
If I don't she'll do me wrong

Do me wrong, yeah

All Men Are Hungry


All Men Are Hungry
Composer(s): Steve Harley
Performer(s): Steve Harley



Was in the early evening and the sun was punching into my head
Outside a stockholm cafe at the river’s edge we sat and smiled
We said how rich we were and how warm we felt with a cognac heart
Talked over women in a lonely voice and began to jive

All the men are hungry, all the men are in search of time

Was in a scene from "death in the afternoon" when I almost cried
I realized papa wanted me to live in his bull ring life
It made me hungry for peace and it made me wild and tore my heart
It didn’t help to wipe away the fears like he often claimed

All the men are hungry, all the men are in search of time

Was in a frenzy from the midnight air when I saw the light
I realized only children can live upon a timeless flight
It made me hungry for youth and it made me sad and made me laugh
To think that as we live and learn we only follow god’s path

All the men are hungry, all the men are in search of time

All the men are hungry, all the men are in search of time

Who's That Knocking?


Who's That Knocking?
Composer(s): Claude Johnson; Fred Jones
Performer(s): The Genies;
and various other artists



Who's that knocking on my door
All last night and the night before
Boom boom boom, bang bang bang
I can't stand this awful thing
Who's that knocking on my door

Who's that calling, calling my name
Tossed a brick through my window pane
Boom boom boom, bang bang bang
Rap, rap, rap is driving me insane
Who's that knocking on my door

All last night, as I lie in bed
With my lights down low
I heard approaching footsteps
Boom boom boom, bang bang bang
On my door

Who's that knocking on my door
Could it be Mable, could it be Flo?
Got myself in an awful fix
When I got involved with those two chicks
Who's that knocking on my door

Who's that knocking on my door
All last night and the night before
Boom boom boom, bang bang bang
I can't tell most anything
Who's that knocking on my door

Doo-doop, doo-doop, doo wah, bang bang bang
Doo-doop, doo-doop, doo wah, bang bang bang
Doo-doop, doo-doop, doo wah, bang bang bang
All night long

Un Mundo Raro


Un Mundo Raro
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez;
and various other artists



Cuando te hablen de amor y de ilusiones
y te ofrezcan un sol y un cielo entero
si te acuerdas de mi no me menciones
porque vas a sentir amor del bueno

Y si quieren saber de tu pasado
es preciso decir una mentira
di que vienes de allá, de un mundo raro
que no sabes llorar
que no entiendes de amor
y que nunca has amado

Porque yo adonde voy
hablaré de tu amor
como un sueño dorado
y olvidando el rencor
no diré que tu adios me volvió desgraciado

Y si quieren saber de mi pasado
es preciso decir otra mentira
les diré que llegue de un mundo raro
que no sé del dolor
que triunfe en el amor
y que nunca he llorado

You had your way

You're sorry now

Oh yeah, that's when it all started
Something I never ever dreamed of

Somebody was a lovin' my old lady
While I was out making love
Somebody was a lovin' my old lady
While I was out making love

Now who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love
Who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love

All Is Forgiven, Come Home


All Is Forgiven, Come Home
Composer(s): Candy Hemphill Christmas - Joel Hemphill
Performer(s): Karen Froude



I gathered my treasures and followed the road
With glamourous visions in mind
I left some hearts aching, who'd loved me so strong
I had new pleasures to find

The treasures were wasted
And pleasures I tasted were bitter to me in the end
And soulless I sought, I woke up and thought
I heard a sweet voice on my way

Saying, "All is forgiven, come home
All is forgiven, come home
The Father's anxiously waiting, and watching the road
All is forgiven, come home"

If you are someone who wandered away
Leaving more love than you found
Greener pastures glowing that caused you to stray
Along the road leading down

There is someone who's love is forever
He's the essence of mercy and grace
Sweetly a small voice is speaking within
Listen and you'll hear him say

"All is forgiven, come home
All is forgiven, come home
The Father's anxiously waiting, and watching the road
All is forgiven, come home"

Come home, come home
Ye who are weary, come home
The Father's anxiously waiting, and watching the road
All is forgiven, come home
All is forgiven, come home
All is forgiven, come home
