Death Of A Salesman
Death Of A Salesman
Composer(s): Saul Broudy - Steve Burgh - Steve Goodman - Jeff Gutcheon - Lew London - Jim Rothermel
Performer(s): Steve Goodman
A traveling salesman stopped for gas, as it was getting late
He sure was getting tired, and it was snowing on the Interstate
He says, "Will you fill her up, my friend, and see if my oil's alright
And do you know a place where a tired-out traveling man might spend the night?"
The attendant winked at him and says, "I'll bet you've been around
Well the man who puts up lodgers here is known as Farmer Brown
You'll find him in that old stone house that's just at the edge of town
And he has a fifteen-year-old daughter who likes to fool around"
The salesman winked right back at him and a smile came to his lips
He paid for the gas and the oil and then he gave that man a tip
He started out and pushed that old gas pedal down to the floor
He was off like a bat and in nothing flat he was at the farmer's door
The door opened up and a beautiful girl says, "Won't you come on it?"
That traveling salesman's tongue was hanging out like Rin-Tin-Tin
"That old gas station attendant said I would find you here
And do you have a suitable room you could rent to me, my dear?"
"Alas, kind sir, I'm sorry but the last one's gone, you see
So if you want to spend the night, you'll have to sleep with me"
He says, "How fortuitous, my pretty little miss!"
And he throws his arms around her and he gives that girl a kiss
Now her warm and tender ruby lips he scarcely could believe
And he never saw the hammer she had hidden up her sleeve
She said, "I'm geting sleepy. It's time to go to bed"
And as they turned to climb the stairs she whupped him on the head
The very next day, the salesman's car, with brand new license plates
Was sitting at Farmer Brown's Gas Station out on the Interstate
So all you traveling salesmen who might be passing through
Better watch your step or the traveling salesman joke will be on you!

Another Saturday Night
Another Saturday Night
Composer(s): Sam Cooke
First release by: Sam Cooke - 1963
Covered by multiple other artists
Another Saturday night, and I ain't got nobody
I got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way
I got in town a month ago
I've see a lot of girls since then
If I could see 'em I could get 'em
But as yet I've haven't met 'em
That's why I'm in the shape I'm in
Another Saturday night, and I ain't got nobody
I got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way
Another fellow told me
he had a sister who looked just fine
Instead of being my deliverance
she had a strange resemblance
to a cat named Frankenstein
Another Saturday night, and I ain't got nobody
I got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way
It's hard on a fella'
when he don't know his way around
If I don't find me a honey
to help me spend my money
I'm gonna' have to blow this town
Another Saturday night, and I ain't got nobody
I got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

Death Cell Blues
Death Cell Blues
Composer(s): Blind Willie McTell
Performer(s): Blind Willie McTell
They got me 'cused for murder and I haven't even harmed a man
They got me 'cused for murder but I haven't even harmed a man
They got me charged with burglin' and I haven't even raised my hand
The judge won't give me no fine
The judge won't give me no fine
Ain't but one thing could release me and that's so far beside
I'll have to give you my number, 5994
I'll have to give your my number, 5994
Because I'll be there forever, I've have no other place to go
They got me 'cused for forging and I can't even write my name
Well they got me 'cused of forging and I can't even write my name
And my eyes still don't miss, my baby left my poor heart in pain
My baby left my heart in pain

You (Neil Sedaka)
You
Composer(s): Phil Cody - Neil Sedaka
Performer(s): Neil Sedaka
I'm in love with you, each and every day
And I can't remember my life another way!
Like a child hangin' on the tremblin' hands
Snuggled in against the cold, I know
The world turns left to right
The best part of my life is you!
Like a gentle breath of hope in the night
You bring my little secret longings to light!
Ooh, nobody can make it happen like you
Nobody but you!
Promises may break and the sky might fall
Love may last for ever, or maybe not at all!
Like a shell tumblin' upon the tide
A kid upon a giddy ride
That's me!
At home or out to sea
I always want to be
With you!
Like a gentle breath of hope in the night
You bring my little secret longings to light!
Ooh, nobody can make it happen like you
Nobody but you!
Like a child hangin' on the tremblin' hands
Snuggled in against the cold, I know
The world turns left to right
The best part of my life is you!
Like a gentle breath of hope in the night
You bring my little secret longings to light!
Ooh, nobody can make it happen like you
Nobody but you!
Nobody but you!

Dearly Beloved
Dearly Beloved
Composer(s): Jerome Kern - Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Fred Astaire
and multiple other artists
Tell me that it's true
Tell me you agree
I was meant for you
You were meant for me
Dearly beloved, how clearly I see
Somewhere in Heaven you were fashioned for me
Angel eyes knew you, angel voices led me to you
Nothing could save me, fate gave me a sign
I know that I'll be yours come shower or shine
So I say merely, dearly beloved be mine

I Cry Alone
I Cry Alone
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David
Performer(s): Dionne Warwick
and multiple other artists
I cry alone
When no-one else can hear me
When friends come by to cheer me
I smile and say
I feel okay
But I cry alone
Each lonely night without you
But when they talk about you
I make believe
I never grieve
And here in my room
Where no-one else can find me
I lock the door behind me
And I cry
And I cry!
Please come, please come back to me
Oh how I long to kiss you!
If friends don't say I miss you
They've never known
How I cry alone!

Another Rainy Day In New York City
Another Rainy Day In New York City
Composer(s): Eric Faulkner - Stuart "Woody" Wood
Performer(s): Bay City Rollers
Listen to the radio
A voice on the early show says I'm not alone
It's just another rainy day in New York City
And the rain comes pouring down
Like early morning strangers we had nothing left to say but
"See you round"
And I think of the night when it all felt so right
How was I supposed to know?
Now your feeling's gone 'cos when I call on the phone
You told the operator say "Sorry, no-one's home"
It's another rainy day in New York City
At night those city lights they sure look pretty
I held my candle to the wind and watched my dreams just sail away
With another rainy day in New York City
To think that only yesterday
Life was such an easy game that I could play
Now it's another rainy day in New York City
And the rain comes pouring down
So I'm on my own and the radio says
That the sun ain't gonna shine
With the words you said spinnin' round in my head
You know I can't find a way to get you out of my mind.
It's another rainy day in New York City
At night those city lights they sure look pretty
I held my candle to the wind and watched my dreams just sail away
With another rainy day in New York City
It's another rainy day in New York City
At night those city lights they sure look pretty ...

Don't Lead Me On
Composer(s): Howard Greenfield - Neil Sedaka
Performer(s): Neil Sedaka
Oh please don't, don't lead me on
don't love me tonight if tomorrow you'll be gone
If you don't mean the things that you say
you only have to tell me and I'll be on my way
Oh don't, don't make me cry
don't say that you care if your love is just a lie
Don't build my hopes up to the sky
Please don't, don't lead me on
If, if you're gonna hurt me
then please, please don't make me wait
Should we part, I'll get along somehow
so if you're gonna break my heart
then come on, break it now
But don't, don't lead me on
don't love me tonight if tomorrow you'll be gone

Another Rag
Another Rag
Composer(s): D.A. Esrom - Theodore Morse
What's that tune I'm hearing everywhere?
What's that sound a floating in the air?
What's that music all the brass bands play?
Hear it in the morning every night and day.
'Taint like music Mister Wagner wrote
Got a funny, sneaky minor note, if you ask what they are playing
Everybody will be saying, "It's another rag, that's all"
That's some tune, it's got some feeling too
You don't know just what has happened to you
Starts you jumping like a big jumping Jack
sending chills a running up and down your back
It's a lovey dovery sort of a strain
Make you do things that you can't explain
When the violins are scraping
Then you'll know there's no escaping
From another raggy rag
Another rag, another raggy rag
Another tune to set you spoony soon
Another crazy tune, another lazy tune
It's a slippy, dippy, creepy, sleepy "get you going rag
Another strain, another raggy strain
A hum and buzz just like a Pullman train stop! (stop) look! (look)
Come on and listen
That's it! (That's that)
Don't you know what that is?
Why, that's another rag, a raggy rag

Dear Yoko
Dear Yoko
Composer(s): John Lennon
Performer(s): John Lennon
Even after all these years
I miss you when you're not here
I wish you were here my dear Yoko
Even if it's just a day
I miss you when you're away
I wish you were here today dear Yoko
Even if it's just one night
I miss you and it don't feel right
I wish you were here tonight dear Yoko
Even if it's just one hour
I wilt just like a fading flower
Ain't nothing in the world like our love dear Yoko
Oh Yoko
I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever gonna let you go
Oh Yoko
I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever gonna let you go
Even when I'm miles at sea
And nowhere is the place to be
Your spirit's watching over me dear Yoko
Even when I watch T.V.
There's a hole where you're supposed to be
There's nobody lying next to me dear Yoko
Oh Yoko
I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever gonna let you go
Oh Yoko
I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever gonna let you go
Even after all this time
I miss you like the sun don't shine
Without I'm a one track mind dear Yoko
After all is really said and done
The two of us are really one
The goddess really smiled upon our love dear Yoko

Rain (Status Quo)
Rain
Composer(s): Parfitt
Performer(s): Status Quo
How can I see what I'm needing for
How can I give what I gave before
How can you tell me that you want me to stay
How can I stay when I'm trying to say
That I can't live without the rain
Yes I can't live without the rain
How can I feel what I'm trying to feel
How can I move when I'm heel to heel
You're always shouting about the doubt in my eyes
But I can't answer 'cos my eyes are so dry
Now I can't live without the rain
Yes I can't live without the rain
Now I can't live without the rain
That's falling on my head
Rain that's falling on my head
Rain that's falling
Rain that's falling
Rain that's falling on my head
I started thinking back to you know when
I'd like to send a line but then again
How can I write you when there ain't no light?
I'm feeling tired tonight but that is all right
Now I can't live without the rain
Yes I can't live without the rain

Dear Someone
Dear Someone
Composer(s): Cy Coben
Performer(s): Johnny Restivo
I got a letter from a fan of mine
She sent her picture, but the letter wasn't signed
Now I'd like to meet her, so I hope she's listening
Dear someone, whoever you may be
Dear someone, I'm glad you wrote to me
Got the photo you enclosed
You're a dream and heaven knows
I'm glad that you're a fan of mine
I'd like to know you better
But you didn't sign your letter
Oh dear someone, you with the ponytail
Please write me, and this time please don't fail
Sign your name and most of all
Send a number I can call
I'll count the minutes till you write again
Dear someone, I can't wait till then
I'll be waiting at the mailbox
Seal it with a kiss
I love you...

Another Pretty Country Song
Another Pretty Country Song
Composer(s): David Allen Coe - T. Clark
Performer(s): David Allan Coe; Geezinslaw Brothers
I Bought This Rhinestone Suit In California
These Boots Came All The Way From Mexico
This Cadillac Ain't Nothin', Son
You Ought To See The Greyhound
I Bought To Take My Band From Show To Show
Seen My Face A Thousand Times On Tv
And Heard Me On Your Local Radio
And In Your Eyes I See The Admiration There For Me
But, Son, There's Something That Ought To Know
Well, I've Got To Take A Drink To Keep From Shakin'
Motel Rooms Ain't Nothing Like A Home
Money Can't Makelove Grow Any Stronger
When You Leave Your Woman Home Alone
She Can't Raise The Children With No Daddy
She Can't Love A Man That's Always Gone
It Takes A Whole Lot More Than Pride
To Keep Your Feelings Locked Inside
While You Sing Another Pretty Country Song
I've Seen Your Face A Thousand Times On Tv
I've Heard You On My Local Radio
It's True I Took Some Pills To Stay Awake, Son
And This Diamond Ring I Wear Is Just For Show
I've Got A Little Cabin In The Country
When I'm Not On The Road That's Where I Go
Try And Put My Feelings Down On Paper
Right Or Wrong The Show Has To Go On
I Can Cry Deep Down Inside And Keep On Smilin'
While I Sing Another Pretty Country Song
But I've Got To Take A Drink To Keep From Shakin'

Dear Rita Hayworth
Dear Rita Hayworth
Performer(s): The New Vaudeville Band
Dear Rita Hayworth
I'm sending out this letter to the USA
I thought you'd like to know
That I saw you in the Daily Press today
Do you still make movies
Could you send a picture for my bedroom wall
If ever you're in England
You'd be welcome if you'd like to call
You won't find no other girl
Sharing my room with me
I have hot water
And a telephone
And now I guess you think
That I'm more than slightly mad
If you could drop a line
I'd be so glad
Dear Rita Hayworth
Surely I must be your number one fan
For 27 years
I've loved you every way that I can
Dear Rita Hayworth
Surely I must be your number one fan
For 27 years
I've loved you every way that I can
You won't find no other girl
Sharing my room with me
I have hot water

I'm more than slightly mad
If you could drop a line
I'd be so glad

Surely I must be your number one fan
For 27 years
I've loved you every way that I can

Lights Out (Jerry Byrne)
Lights Out
Composer(s): Seth David - Mac Rebennack
Performer(s): Jerry Byrne; Johnny Winter
Standin' on my front porch
Grabbed her and I kissed her
Boy I was surprised when I saw her little sister
Lights out, lights out
I'm glad now the lights were out
Sister knows more about
What to do when the lights go out
Mother looked at me
She was a-peepin' through the window
The way she looked at me
Boy, I thought I was a sinner
Lights out, lights out
I'm glad now the lights were out
Sister knows more about
What to do when the lights go out
Lovin' on the front porch sittin' on the swing
I can almost hear those weddin' bells ring
Lights out, lights out
I'm glad now the lights were out
Sister knows more about
What to do when the lights go out
Lovin' on the front porch sittin' on the swing
I can almost hear those weddin' bells ring
Lights out, lights out
I'm glad now the lights were out
Sister knows more about
What to do when the lights go out
Now we're married and we bought a little house
Would have married little sister, but the lights went out
Lights out, lights out
I'm glad now the lights were out
Sister knows more about
What to do when the lights go out
