You're So Sweet, Horseflies Keep Hangin' 'Round Your Face


You're So Sweet, Horseflies Keep Hangin' 'Round Your Face
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond



You're so sweet
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop
And I guess it shows

Mary Lou Jane (oh Mary Lou Jane)
Oh what a fine name (what a fine name)
And you're nothing like them females
From Dover City
(nothin' at all)
Front teeth missin'
(hee, you got your front teeth missin')
And that's fine for kissin' (oh, feels so good)
You're more loyal than my dog Sam
And twice as pretty (and that's goin' some)

You're so sweet
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop
and I guess it shows

I can't forget (oh, no)
When we first met (first)
Well, it was bull wrestling time
At the county fair rodeo
(or is it ro-de-o)
And I almost cried (wept)
When you took first prize
(first prize, sweetheart)
Well
You just looked them critters in the face
And down they'd go
(they never had a chance)

You're so sweet
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop
and I guess it shows

You're so sweet
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop
And I guess it shows

Oh ne sois pas si bête j'ai travaillé fort aujourd'hui
Ne fais pas à ta tête, laisse-moi un peu de répit
Je sais que ton amour est plus grand chaque jour
Mais laisse-moi me reposer

De l'argent j'ai gagné durant des heures sans fin
Car je veux te combler près de toi je me sens si bien
Alors tu comprendras pourquoi je suis comme ça
Laisse-moi donc me reposer

C'est si bon de te sentir près de moi
C'est si bon de te serrer contre moi

Oh ne sois pas si bête j'ai travaillé fort aujourd'hui

You're So Rude


You're So Rude
Composer(s): Ian McLagan; Ronnie Lane
Performer(s): Faces



My mum she likes you, she thinks your swell
Got the makin's of a dance hall girl
Your low-cut frock and your bird's nest hair
Stiletto heels and the way that you swear
She says to take you back to see my folks again on Sunday

Why, it looks as though there's nobody in
They've all gone out to see my Auntie Renee
Don't you worry, you just come right in
I'm sure we'll pass the time til they come home
Well, let me take your coat, kick off your shoes
Warm your toes, try the sofa

Its getting dark, we'll miss the late night bus
It's only eight?
Well, I'm not takin' any chances.
Whats that noise? Why'd they come back so soon?
Straighten your dress you're really looking a mess
I'll wet my socks, pretend we just got caught in the rain
Oh, your so rude

Ach Vader Lief, Toe Drink Niet Meer


Ach Vader Lief, Toe Drink Niet Meer
Performer(s): Zangeres Zonder Naam



Ach vader lief, toe drink niet meer, ik vroeg het al zo menige keer
want moesje lief huilt telkens weer
ach vader lief, toe drink niet meer....

Een moeder zit stil bij 't fornuis
aan 't raam staat verdrietig haar kind
want nog steeds is vader niet thuis
omdat hij het weekloon verdrinkt
dan rent plots het kind door de kou
en hoort in een kroeg vader's stem
het pakt hem bedeesd bij zijn mouw
en vraagt dan met bevende stem

Ach vader lief, toe drink niet meer
ik vroeg het al zo menige keer
want moesje lief huilt telkens weer
oh vader lief, toe drink niet meer....

De man stoot het kind van zich af
dat valt met een smak op de grond
dan ziet hij vol schrik tot zijn straf
het hoofdje is bloedend verwond
vol schaamte brengt hij dan z'n kind
terug naar zijn huis en zijn vrouw
terwijl ze het hoofdje verbindt
zegt vader vol innig berouw

Je vader lief, die drinkt niet meer
je vroeg het al zo menige keer
dus moesje lief kom huil niet meer
want vader lief, die drinkt niet meer

Ferrer:
You’re so right for me
Just the one for me
How I need your clinging caress
Your fabulous lips, your voice saying ‘yes’

Now I see the way it’s meant to be
‘Cause you’re so right for me

Clooney:
You’re so right for me
Just the one for me
How I need your clinging caress
Your fabulous lips, your voice saying ‘yes’

Both:
How could I replace, the light that lights your face

Clooney:
Now I see the way it’s meant to be
‘Cause you’re so right for me

A Happy Guy


A Happy Guy
Composer(s): Larry Kusic - Kenny Rankin
Performer(s): Rick Nelson; José Feliciano



Some guys like a 9 to 5 job
and a house with a white picket fence
some guys live for that weekly pay check
but to me it don't make much sense
now I dont like a tight collar
or a suit with a matching tie
I like to pick up and go where the four winds blow

I steer clear of sweet talkin' gals
they gotta wedding bells on their mind
they want a guy to stay home every night
but me I'm a different kind

I move when I'm ready
and I don't have to tell you why
I just grab my hat
and leave where I'm at
and that's why I'm a happy guy

You can look for me when Im passing through
and I'll stay awhile in your town
we can live it up and let the good times roll
but dont try to settle me down

No girls gonna chain me!
I was born with a roving eye
and when the thrill is gone
I'll be moving on

and that's why im a happy guy

A Handful Of Stars


A Handful Of Stars
Composer(s): Jack Lawrence - Ted Shapiro
Performer(s): Glenn Miller



I recall the story
That night of love and glory
A night that left my heart romantic scars
We stood so near to heaven
That I reached clear to heaven
And gathered you a handful of stars

Sweet remembered hour
When love began to flower
With moonlight through the trees like silver balls
And as the moon grew older
I reached across your shoulder
And gathered you a handful of stars

I placed my fingertips upon your lips
And stars fell in your eyes
Moonglow made a halo of your hair
Suddenly you looked at me and dreams began to rise
Oh, what things unspoken trembled in the air

Our hearts were madly beating
And then our lips were meeting
And Venus seemed to melt right into Mars
Then while we stood caressing
Blue heaven sent a blessing
A shower of a handful of stars...!

A Handful Of Songs


A Handful Of Songs
((Danish Version: En Håndfuld Musik (by James & Hans Jamesmen) - 1957))
Composer(s): Lionel Bart - Michael Pratt - Tommy Steele
First release by: Tommy Steele and The Steelmen - 1957
Covered by multiple other artists



Well, I've got a handful of songs to sing you
Can't stop my voice when it longs to sing you
New songs and blue songs and songs to bring you happiness
No more nor less
Moreover wherever we may roam to
Or any shore where we may be blown to
We'll know that we're gonna feel at home to
Opera music-a
Jazz and cha-cha-chas
Calypsos and street vendor cries
Strains of old refrains
Sleepy time baby lullabies
I've got a handful of songs to sing you
I've got a heart full of love to bring you
True love for you love and love's a thing you keep
So here's a handful of songs going cheap
Just a handful of songs
Just a handful of songs
Only a handful of songs

You're Sixteen


You're Sixteen
Composer(s): Bob Sherman; Dick Sherman
Performer(s): Johnny Burnette;
and various other artists



You come on like a dream, peaches and cream
Lips like strawberry wine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine

You're all ribbons and curls, ooh what a girl
Eyes that sparkle and shine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine

You're my baby, you're my pet
We fell in love on the night we met
You touched my hand, my heart went pop
Ooh, when we kissed I could not stop

You walked out of my dreams and into my arms
Now you're my angel divine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine

You're my baby, you're my pet
We fell in love on the night we met
You touched my hand, my heart went pop
Ooh, when we kissed I could not stop

You walked out of my dreams, and into my car
Now you're my angel divine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful, and you're mine

A Half-Way Chance With You


A Half-Way Chance With You
Composer(s): Marty Robbins
Performer(s): Marty Robbins



If half of all the things you say, were true instead of lies
Then there'd be only half as many teardrops in my eyes
If half of all the dreams I dream, were ever to come true
Then in my heart I'd feel I had, A Half-way Chance With You

If most of all the things I hear, were only half-way true
Then I'd be half-way happy dear and only half as blue
If You spent half the time with me, you spend with someone new
Then in my heart I'd feel I had, A Half-way Chance With You

A half-way love is not enough, it's always kiss an run
I just can't fool my heart that way, I must have all, or none
If part-time love is all you want, or all you care to give
Why bother with the love at all, and only half-way live

If some of all the tears that fall, were yours and not all mine
Then half the clouds would disappear and half the sun would shine
If things were only turned around and you were feelin' blue
Then in my heart I'd feel I had, A Half-way Chance With you

You're Sensational


You're Sensational
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists



A thorough knowledge I've got about girls
I've been around
And after learning a lot about girls
This is the important fact I found...

I've no proof
When people say you're more or less aloof
But you're sensational
I don't care
If you are called "The Fair Miss Frigid Air"
'Cause you're sensational

Making love is quite an art
What you require is the proper squire to fire your heart
And if you say
That one fine day you'll let me come to call
We'll have a ball
'Cause you're sensational
Sensational
That's all, that's all, that's all

A Habit I Can't Break


A Habit I Can't Break
Composer(s): Buck Owens
Performer(s): Dolly Parton



Loving you isn't good for me
You keep my tears flowing
If I left you I couldn't stay gone
So there's no use in going
Loving you is a habit I can't break

I haven't found a way yet
But I've been trying
To stop loving you but I can't wait
There's no use in lyin'

Loving you is a habit I can't break

Loving you is a habit I can't break
I've been loving you much too long now
To change the way I feel
So I might as well get used to these heartaches

Loving you is a habit I can't break

You're Probably Wondering Why I'm Here


You're Probably Wondering Why I'm Here
Composer(s): Frank Zappa
Performer(s): Frank Zappa



You're probably wondering
Why I'm here
And so am I
So am I
Just as much as you wonder
'Bout me bein' in this place
Yeah!
That's just how much I marvel
At the lameness on your face
You rise each day the same old way
And join your friends out on the street
Spray your hair
And think you're neat
I think your life is incomplete
But maybe that's not for me to say
They only pay me here to play

I wanna hear Caravan with a drum solo

You're probably wondering
Why I'm here
And so am I
So am I

Just as much as you wonder
'Bout me starin' back at you
Yeah!
That's just how much I question
The corny things you do

You paint your face and then you chase
To meet the gang where the action is
Stomp all night
And drink your fizz
Roll your car and say "Gee whiz!"
You tore a big hole in your convertible top
What will you tell your Mom and Pop?

Mam, I tore a big hole in the convertible

You're probably wondering
Why I'm here
And so am I
So am I

Just as much as you wonder
If I mean just what I say
Yeah!
That's just how much I question
The social games you play

You told your Mom you're stoked on Tom
And went for a cruise in Freddie's car
Tommy's asking
Where you are
You boogied all night in a cheesy bar
Plastic boots and plastic hat
And you think you know where it's at?
Yeah!

You're probably wondering
Why I'm here
(Not that it makes a heck of a lot of a difference to ya)

Guy What Takes His Time


Guy What Takes His Time
Composer(s): Ralph Rainger
Performer(s): Mae West
and multiple other artists



Anyone can see what's the matter with me
I've been hurried and rushed off my feet
Never had a minute's repose from walking the street
So I've thought it out and there isn't any doubt
My conclusion is all for the best
I need someone who can supply comfort and some rest

A guy what takes his time, I'll go for any time
I'm a fast movin' gal who likes them slow
Got no use for fancy drivin', want to see a guy arrivin' in low
I'd be satisfied, electrified to know a guy what takes his time

A hurry-up affair, I always give the air
Wouldn't give any rushin' gent a smile
I would go for any singer who would condescend to linger awhile
What a lullaby would be supplied to have a guy what takes his time

A guy what takes his time, I'd go for any time
A hasty job really spoils a master's touch
I don't like a big commotion, I'm a demon for slow motion or such
Why should I deny that I would die to know a guy who takes his time

There isn't any fun in getting something done
If you're rushed when you have to make the grade
I can spot an amateur, appreciate a connesseur in his trade
Who would qualify, no alibi, to be the guy who takes his time

On your little shoulders

Now don't you ever be ashamed,
when you're only lonely

so you can call out my name

on your little shoulders
when you're feeling lonely and small
you need somebody there to hold you
so don't you ever be ashamed
when you're only lonely
you can call out my name
when you're only lonely

It's not a crime
darlin' we got lots of time
darlin' wooo ooohh woo oh
oh there's nothing wrong with you
darlin' I get lonely too...

So if you need me,
all you gotta do is call me
you're only lonely

A Guy Named Joe


A Guy Named Joe
Composer(s): Harlan Howard
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



I stepped ashore in Tokyo feeling kind a blue
For I was trying to forget a love that was untrue
When by my side I found a lad, his dark eyes all aglow
He looked at me so hopefully and said is you’re name, Joe?

For Joe’s my Daddy’s name and he will soon be sailing cross the sea
He said will come back bye and bye and Joe would never lie
The warship took my dad away and mommy needs him so
And every night I hear her pray “Dear God, where is my Joe?”

Somewhere back home a guy named Joe is probably sipping beer
Does he know how important he could be if he was here?
Has he forgotten this little lad who needs his daddy so?
A promise made, a debt unpaid, their waiting for you Joe

Yes, Joe’s his daddy’s name and he will never sail across that sea
A stranger in a foreign land he let his heart get out of hand
The warship took his dad away and he’s too young to know
That off across the ocean there’s a million guys’s named Joe

You're Not The Only One


You're Not The Only One
Composer(s): Bob Marlette; John Wetton
Performer(s): John Wetton



I see you now in the dead of night
The shadows closing in
You lie and wait for the morning light
You'll just survive till then
Loneliness only means you harm
So try to raise a smile
Don't you know that your open arms
Can bridge a thousand miles?
When there's no end to it all
Try to surrender
Let yourself fall and just
Try to remember
You're Not The Only One who feels pain
Open your heart and live again
The rule you depend upon
From this day on
You're Not The Only One
Throw back the shutters and unlock the spell
Let sunshine light your face
The growing fears that you know so well
Will vanish into space
You're Not The Only One who needs faith
Climbing the face of the unknown
To tell you you're not alone
And, above all else
You're Not The Only One
Free Yourself
Take a good look around
There's a lot of love to be found
Love will not let you down
