Why Don't We Get Drunk
Why Don't We Get Drunk
Composer(s): Marvin Gardens
Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett;
and various other artists
I really do appreciate the fact you're sittin' here
Your voice sounds so wonderful
But yer face don't look too clear
So bar maid bring a pitcher, another round o' brew
Honey, why don't we get drunk and screw
Why don't we get drunk and screw
I just bought a water bed, it's filled up for me and you
They say you are a snuff queen
Honey I don't think that's true
So, why don't we get drunk and screw
"Pick it Coral Reefers, here we go..."
Why don't we get drunk and screw
I just bought a waterbed it's filled up for me and you
They say you are a snuff queen
Honey I don't think that's true
So why don't we get drunk and screw
Yeah, now baby I say, Lord!
Why don't we get drunk and screw

All My Troubles
All My Troubles
Composer(s): Black Oak Arkansas
Performer(s): Black Oak Arkansas
Got up this morning
Got into my car
Turned on the motor
But it would not start
Late for work
Feelin' tired
Worst of all
I got myself fired
Lost my job
Got my pay
Lost it all
On the ace of spades
But all my troubles
Would be through
If I could make love with you
Things got bad
Out of work
I robbed a store
And I shot the clerk
Woman sweet woman
I done my best
But that got me surrounded
I been shot in my chest
I can hear 'em comin'
Bustin' down the door
If I could only
See you once more
All my troubles
Would be through
If I could make love with you
There's a reason for this story
Morals to my sons
Ya better know what's right
Ya better know what's wrong
When it rains it pours
That's nature's way
We're all little children
That forgot how to play
There ain't but one thing
I got left to say
Somethin' don't come from nothin'
You always gotta pay
But all my troubles
Would be through
If I could make love with you

Why Don't We Do This More Often?
Composer(s): Allie Wrubel; Charles Newman
Performer(s): Kay Kyser;
and various other artists
Why don't we do this more often
Just what we're doing tonight
Gee but it's great to get together again
Why does it only happen now and then?
We ought to do this more often
Don't you agree that I'm right?
Honey, we make each other laugh
And then we make each other sing
And you can never ever overdo the good things
So, Honey, why don't we do this more often
Just what we're doing tonight

All My Trials (Nick Drake)
All My Trials
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Nick Drake
I had a little book
Was given to me
And every page
Spoke of liberty
All my trials
Will soon be over
There is a tree
In paradise
The pilgrims call it
The tree of life
All my trials
Will soon be over
But it's too late, my friend
Too late
But never mind
All my trials
Will soon be over
If religion were a thing
That money could buy
Then the rich would live
And the poor would die
All my trials
Will soon be over
All my trials
Will soon be over

Performer(s): George Hamilton IV;
and various other artists
Why, why don't they understand
Why lead us by the hand
Why don't they understand

Can it be wrong
Caring for you the way I do
It can't be wrong
Sharing with you
The warmth of love
Of loving, belonging
And so we'll wander hand in hand
Into love's wonderland
Then they will understand
It can't be wrong
Sharing with you
The warmth of love
Of loving, belonging
And so we'll wander hand in hand
Into love's wonderland
Then they will understand
Then they will understand
Then they will understand

Composer(s): Rita Green - Anita Carter - M. Künze
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri
Bald bin ich am Ziel meiner Reise
Der Fluss des Vergessens ist tief und weit
Befreit die Seele vom Staub der Zeit
Bald bin ich am Ziel meiner Reise
Die Straße des Lebens führt steil bergauf
Doch wenn ich fall, steh ich wieder auf
Bald bin ich am Ziel meiner Reise
Zu spät zur Umkehr
Zu spät, doch was auch kommt
Bald bin ich am Ziel meiner Reise
Und wenn auch manchmal die Angst erwacht
Der Stern der Hoffnung führt mich durch die Nacht
Bald bin ich am Ziel meiner Reise
Die Quelle der Wahrheit ist klar und kalt
Und wer trinkt aus ihr, wird niemals alt
Bald bin ich am Ziel meiner Reise
Bald bin ich am Ziel meiner Reise

((English & German Versions: All My Trials (by Harry Belafonte); Am Ziel Meiner Reise (by Nana Mouskouri))
Composer(s): Rita Green - Anita Carter - Pierre Delanoë - Claude Lemesle
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri
Qu'elle est loin la fin du voyage
La glace de l'hiver a beau me mordre le corps
Je me garde mon âme intacte encore
Qu'elle est loin la fin du voyage
J'ai trois pages à ma Bible: Amour et Vérité
Et la troisième est Liberté
Qu'elle est loin la fin du voyage
Le jour devient noir
Mais j'ai toujours l'espoir
Qu'elle est loin la fin du voyage
Si la vie pouvait être achetée par l'argent
Les pauvres seraient morts et les riches vivants
Qu'elle est loin la fin du voyage
Je vais planter un arbre au paradis
Il va devenir l'arbre de vie
Qu'elle est loin la fin du voyage
Qu'elle est loin la fin du voyage

Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad?
Composer(s): Eric Clapton; Bobby Whitlock
Performer(s): Derek & The Dominos;
and various other artists
Got to find me a way
To take me back to yesterday
How can I ever hope to forget you?
Won't you show me a place
Where I can hide my lonely face?
I know you're going to break my heart if I let you
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Like a moth to a flame
Like a song without a name
I've never been the same since I met you
Like a bird on the wing
I've got a brand new song to sing
I can't keep from singing about you
Chorus
I'm beginning to see
What a fool you've made of me
I might have to break the law when I find you
Stop running away
I've got a better game to play
You know I can't go on living without you
Chorus

La Fin Du Voyage (Johnny Hallyday)
La Fin Du Voyage
Composer(s): P. Billon - Jean-Marie Renard
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Alors c'est là fin du voyage
On coupe le son et l'image
Comprenez
Sans amour pas drôle d'être beau
Alors vous allez me jugez
Me mettre en cendre et puis souffler
Comprenez
Sans amour rien ne sert à rien
Tout était parfait
Toi tu as tout gâché
C'était si beau
C'était si bien
Dans mon cœur d'acier
J'ai mille ans d'amitié
Et des regards qui m'ont brûlé
Alors c'est bien la fin du jeu
Je voulais seulement finir très vieux
Comprenez
Près du femme que j'aurais aimé
Vivre un amour vivre une enfance
C'est tout ce que j'ai comme défense
Comprenez
Même un roi n' peut pas vivre sans ça
Tout était parfait
Toi tu as tout gâché
C'était si beau
C'était si bien
Dans mon cœur d'acier
J'ai des combats mêlés
Des cris de guerres, des villes brûlées
Des cimetières
Tout était parfait
Toi tu as tout gâché
C'était si beau
C'était si bien
Dans mon cœur d'acier
J'ai mille ans d'amour liés
À des visages, à des images
De corps pliés
Tuer mon cœur d'acier
Ne pourra rien changer
Car j'ai aimé comme tous les hommes
Et ça personne ne pourra m' l'arracher
Dans mon cœur d'acier
J'ai mille ans d'amitié
Oui j'ai aimé comme tous les hommes
Et ça personne ne pourra m' l'arracher
Dans mon cœur d'acier
J'ai mille ans d'amitié
Oui j'ai aimé comme tous les hommes
Et ça personne ne pourra m' l'arracher
Dans mon cœur d'acier
J'ai mille ans d'amitié
Oui j'ai aimé comme tous les hommes
Et ça personne, non, ne pourra m' l'arracher
Tout était parfait
Toi tu as tout gâché
C'était si beau
C'était si bien...

Why Do I Love You?
Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Edith Day;
and various other artists
I'm walking on the air, dear
For life is fair, dear, to lovers
I'm in the seventh heaven
(There's more than seven, my heart discovers)
In this sweet, improbable and unreal world
Finding you has given me my ideal world
Chorus:
Why do I love you? Why do you love me?
Why should there be two happy as we?
Can you see the why or wherefor
I should be the one you care for?
You're a lucky boy, I am lucky too
All our dreams of joy seem to come true
Maybe that's because you love me
Maybe that's why I love you!
Chorus

All My Tomorrows
Composer(s): James Van Heusen - Sammy Cahn
First performance: Frank Sinatra - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists
Today I may not have a thing at all
Except for just a dream or two
But I've got lots of plans for tomorrow
And all my tomorrows belong to you
Right now it might not seem like Spring at all
We're drifting and the laughs are few
But I've got rainbows planned for tomorrow
And all my tomorrows belong to you
No-one knows better than I
That luck keeps passing me by
That's fate!
But with you there by my side
I'll soon be turning that tide
Just wait!
As long as I've got arms that cling at all
It's you that I'll be clinging to
And all the dreams I dream, be or borrow
On some bright tomorrow
They'll all come true
And all my bright tomorrows belong to you
As long as I've got arms that cling at all
It's you that I'll be clinging to
And all the dreams I dream, be or borrow
On some bright tomorrow
They'll all come true
And all my bright tomorrows belong to you

I'm A Lonely Little Petunia (In An Onion Patch)
I'm A Lonely Little Petunia (In An Onion Patch)
Composer(s): Maurie Hartmann; Billy Faber; Johnny Kamono
Of all the saddest words
That I have ever heard
The saddest is the story
Told me by a bird
He had spent about and hour
A Chatting with a flower
and here ís the tale the flower told
Ooooh, I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
an onion patch, an onion patch
I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
and all I do is cry all day
Boo hoo, boo hoo
The air ís so strong it takes my breath away
feee---you
I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
oh won't you come and play with me
Who put me in this bed?
I'll bet his face is red
I call him down with every teardrop that I shed
If I only had him here
I'd take him by the ear
And make him share my misery
Ooooh, I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
an onion patch, an onion patch
I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
and all I do is cry all day
Boo hoo, boo hoo
The air ís so strong it takes my breath away
feee---you
I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
oh won't you come and play with me
My nerves begin to crack
Each time I see a track
Made by a kitty with a
stripe right down his back
If he ever stopped by me
I think I'd rather be
A dead petunia, wouldn't you?
Ooooh he ís a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
an onion patch, an onion patch
He ís a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
And all he does is cry all day
Boo hoo, boo hoo
The air ís so strong it takes my breath away
Feee-you!
I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
oh won't you come and play with me

Herman Santiago; Frankie Lymon
Performer(s): Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers;

Ooh-wah, ooh-wah, ooh-wah, ooh-wah

Why do fools fall in love, why do they fall in love
Love is a losing game, love can be a shame
I know of a fool you see, for that fool is me
Tell my why, tell me why
Why do birds sing so gay, and lovers await the break of day
Why do they fall in love
Why does the rain fall from up above
Why do fools fall in love, why do they fall in love
Why does my heart skip a crazy beat
For I know I will reach defeat
Tell me why, tell my why
Why does my heart skip a crazy beat
For I know it will reach defeat
Tell me why, tell me why
Why do birds sing so gay, and lovers await the break of day
Why do they fall in love
Why do they fall in love
Why...do fools...fall in love

Reindeer On My Roof
Reindeer On My Roof
Composer(s): Tom Paxton
Performer(s): Tom Paxton
I can't sleep when I'm straining to hear the reindeer on my roof
All night long I'm wide awake to hear, reindeer on my roof
What was that that? The wind? What was that? A bird?
I can't sleep 'cos I want to hear Santa Claus
I've just got to keep my eyes open
Last year I fell asleep and I never heard reindeer on my roof
Dasher and Dancer, Comet & Blitzen, reindeer on my roof
Last year as you came down the chimney
Daddy said there was proof
Proof that Santa Claus came, and there were reindeer on the roof
I'm in bed and in my head I'm turning upside down
I'm awake you see and must be the chumpiest git in town
I can hear people murmering through my bedroom door
Footsteps passing, someone laughing
What are they whispering for?
Last year Santa Claus ate all the cookies, left just a couple of crumbs
Sister asleep, I won't wake her when the magic moment comes
When our house is quiet, on the longest night of the year
I'll be be the only one waken up
And I know what I'll hear
I can't sleep when I'm straining to hear the reindeer on my roof
All night long I'm wide awake to hear reindeer on my roof
What was that that the wind? What was that? a bird?
I can't sleep 'cos I want to hear Santa Claus
I've just got to keep my eyes open
Last year I fell asleep and I never heard reindeer on my roof
Dasher and Dancer Comet & Blitzen, reindeer on my roof
Last year as you came down the chimney
Daddy said there was proof
Proof that Santa Claus came, and there were reindeer on the roof
