All I Need Is You (Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton)


All I Need Is You
Composer(s): Webb Pierce
Performer(s): Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
and multiple other artists



Find the loneliest girl in a thousand
Find the saddest eyes you've ever seen
Find someone who's always longing for you
Find that man and you found me

And all I need is you all I want is you
To give my loving to all I need is you

Find a man who wakes up every morning
And lives in a world of make believe
Find someone who's arms are aching for you
You find that girl and you found me

And all I need is you all I want is you
To give my loving to all I need is you

You're with me now so let the world forsake us
I've found my heaven here within your arms
And nothing in this world can separate us
You're all I ever wanted all along

And all I need is you all I want is you
To give my loving to all I need is you

Dentro


Dentro
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



A veces recuerdo tu imagen
desnuda en la noche vacía
tu cuerpo sin peso se abre
y abrazo mi propia mentira

Así me reanuda la sangre
tensando la carne dormida
mis dedos aprietan, amantes
un hondo compás de caricias

Dentro
me quemo por ti
me vierto sin ti
y nace un muerto

Mi mano ahuyentó soledades
tomando tu forma precisa
la piel que te hice en el aire
recibe un temblor de semilla

Un quieto cansancio me esparce
tu imagen se borra en seguida
me llena una ausencia de hambre
y un dulce calor de saliva

Dentro...

Touch Of Yesterday


Touch Of Yesterday
Composer(s): Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens
Performer(s): Ferlin Husky
and multiple other artists



I'd beg and steal if I could feel a touch of yesterday
Oh what I'd give if I could live a touch of yesterday
The rain's been falling since he's been gone
It's gonna rain until he come back home
The hurt would leave if I could brieve a touch of yesterday
(A touch of yesterday)
The rain's been falling...
Oh what I'd give if I could live a touch of yesterday

Dentist


Dentist Composer(s): Alan Menken - Howard Ashman Performer(s): Steve Martin & Bill Murray



When I was young and just a bad little kid
My momma noticed funny things I did
Like shootin' puppies with a BB-Gun
I'd poison guppies, and when I was done
I'd find a pussy-cat and bash in its head
That's when my momma said...
(What did she say?)
She said my boy I think someday
You'll find a way
To make your natural tendencies pay...

You'll be a dentist
You have a talent for causing things pain!
Son, be a dentist
People will pay you to be inhumane!

You're temperment's wrong for the priesthood
And teaching would suit you still less
Son, be a dentist
You'll be a success

"Here he is folks, the leader of the plaque"
"Watch him suck up that gas
Oh My God!"
"He's a dentist and he'll never ever be any good"
"Who wants their teeth done by the Marquis DeSade?"

"Oh, that hurts! Wait! I'm not numb!"
"Eh, Shut Up! Open Wide! Here I Come!"

I am your dentist
And I enjoy the career that I picked
I'm your dentist
And I get off on the pain I inflict!

When I start extracting those mollars
Girls, you'll be screaming like holy rollers

And though it may cause my patients distress
Somewhere...Somewhere in heaven above me...
I know...I know that my momma's proud of me
"Oh, Momma..."

'Cause I'm a dentist...
And a success!

"Say ahh..."
"Say Ahhhh..."
"Say Aaarrrhhhh!!!"
"Now Spit!"

I Threw Away The Rose


I Threw Away The Rose
Composer(s): Merle Haggard
First release by: Merle Haggard & The Strangers - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



Once I lived the life of wine and roses
And I drank a lot back then for one concern
Success for me lay just around the corner
I thought my social friends would help me make the turn

But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
A victim of the drunken life I chose
Now all my social friends look down their noses
'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose

I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me
The turn I made was not the one I'd planned
And I watched my social standings slip away from me
While I watched the bottle slowly take command

And now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
A victim of the drunken life I chose
Now all my social friends look down their noses
'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose

Dennis The Menace


Dennis The Menace Composer(s): Al Hoffman - Dick Manning Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney; Jimmy Boyd



Dennis, the menace, he's a bundle of dynamite
Oh, the things he says and the things he does
Will make you shake with fright
(Beware of) Dennis the menace
Oh, you'd better be on your toes
There is bound to be a calamity no matter where he goes
His mom and dad get nervous
Whenever he's too quiet
They never know what will happen next
A cyclone, flood or rot
Dennis the menace, though he makes your hair turn gray
When he looks at you with those eyes of blue
He'll steal your heart away

Last night I got a spanking
I don't know what to think
'Cause all I did was fill my water pistol full of ink
Now I ask you did mommy have to yell at me like that
Just because I watered all those flowers on her hat
My daddy love to ride in planes
'Way high up in the sky
He didn't see my roller skates
And oh boy, did he fly
We were playing train with daddy's chair
Me and another kid
My daddy said, "now, break it up"
So that's just what we did

Dennis, the menace, he's a bundle of dynamite
Oh, the things he says and the things he does
Will make you shake with fright
(Beware of) Dennis the menace
Oh, you'd better be on your toes
There is bound to be a calamity no matter where he goes
His mom and dad get nervous
Whenever he's too quiet
They never know what will happen next
A cyclone, flood or rot
Dennis the menace, though he makes your hair turn gray
When he looks at you with those eyes of blue
He'll steal your heart away

Woman Let Me Sing You A Song


Woman Let Me Sing You A Song
Composer(s): Harlan Howard
Performer(s): Lefty Frizzell; Waylon Jennings; Vernon Oxford



Woman let me sing you a song
Woman let me sing you a song
That tells how you've done me wrong
So it's your fault if it's long
Woman let me sing you a song
The neighbors say I run around
The neighbors say I run around
But baby if I do I'm miles back off you
Woman let me sing you a song
My banker count is almost gone
My banker count is almost gone
You're wearing furs and rings while I wear old blue jeans
Woman let me sing you a song

You tell your friends I drink too much
Now the whole town knows I drink too much
But the reason why I drink is the thought you make me think
Woman let me sing you a song
I'm leaving and you think I'll be back
I'm leaving but you think I'll be back
Here's my advice to you
Don't stop breathing till I do
Woman let me sing you a song
Woman I done sang you my song
Woman I done sang you my song

Funny (But I'm Not Laughing)


Funny (But I'm Not Laughing)
Composer(s): Mickey Jaco
Performer(s): Conway Twitty



Well I just saw you out with another
And I watched as you held his hand
It seems funny to see you with him instead of me
Funny but I'm not laughing

Then I heard you say it's all over
That you never loved me anyway
That the things we have done were only in fun
Funny but I'm not laughing

Then I turned away so my eyes couldn't see
His arms were around you where mine used to be
You would have laughed if you'd had only seen me
Yes I guess I was a funny sight to see
Standing there on the street with my heart at my feet
Funny but I'm not laughing
Funny but I'm not laughing

Denn Wie Man Sich Bettet


Denn Wie Man Sich Bettet Composer(s): Bertolt Brecht - Kurt Weill Performer(s): Lotte Lenya



Meine Herren, meine Mutter prägte
Auf mich einst ein schlimmes Wort
Ich würde enden im Schauhaus
Oder an einem noch schlimmern Ort
Ja, so ein Wort, das ist leicht gesagt
Aber ich sage euch: Daraus wird nichts!
Das könnt ihr nicht machen mit mir!
Was aus mir noch wird, das werdet ihr schon sehen!
Ein Mensch ist kein Tier!

Denn wie man sich bettet, so liegt man
Es deckt einen da keiner zu
Und wenn einer tritt, dann bin ich es
Und wird einer getreten, dann bist’s du

Meine Herren, mein Freund, der sagte
Mir damals ins Gesicht
"Das Größte auf Erden ist Liebe"
Und "An morgen denkt man da nicht"
Ja, Liebe, das ist leicht gesagt
Aber wenn man täglich älter wird
Da wird nicht nach Liebe gefragt
Da muß man seine kurze Zeit benützen
Ein Mensch ist kein Tier!

Denn wie man sich bettet, so liegt man ...

Sorry My Name Isn't Fred


Sorry My Name Isn't Fred
Composer(s): Harlan Howard
Performer(s): Bobby Helms



My heart should be light as a feather
For just yesterday we were wed
But why on our first night together
Did you call me your darling Fred

Sorry my name isn't Fred
How I wish I could be him insted
For that one word told me where your heart longs to be
I'm sorry my name isn't Fred

When you said I do at the altar
I thought I heard love in your voice
But I guess it was love for another
And I'm just for second choice

Sorry my name isn't Fred...

Denmark Street


Denmark Street
Composer(s): Ray Davies
Performer(s): The Kinks



Down the way from the tottenham court road
Just round the corner from old soho
There's a place where the publishers go
If you don't know which way to go
Just open your ears and follow your nose
'cos the street is shakin' from the tapping of toes
You can hear that music play anytime on any day
Every rhythm, every way
You got to a publisher and play him your song
He says 'I hate your music and you hair is too long
But I'll sign you up because I'd hate to be wrong'
You've got a tune it's in your head you want to get it placed
So you take it up to a music man just to see what he will say
He says 'I hate the tune, I hate the words but I'll tell you what I'll do
I'll sign you up and take it round the street and see if it makes the grade'
And you might even hear it played on the rock 'n' roll hit parade
Daytime, night time, every week you can hear that heavy beat
Now the walls are shaking from the tapping of feet
Daytime, night time, every day you can hear that music play

A Little Unfair


A Little Unfair
Composer(s): Hank Cochran - Chuck Howard
Performer(s): Lefty Frizzell
and multiple other artists



You want me to love just you while you love your share
Ain't that being a little unfair
It's me stay home while you stay gone till you decide to care
Ain't that being a little unfair?

I can't see how it can be anything for me
What's mine is yours but what's yours is yours
That's how you wanted to be
You want me to wait for you till you decide to care
Ain't that being a little unfair?

I can't see how it can be anything for me
What's mine is yours but what's yours is yours
That's how you wanted to be
You want me to wait for you till you decide to care
Ain't that being a little unfair?...

Life Turned Her That Way


Life Turned Her That Way
Composer(s): Harlan Howard
First release by: "Little" Jimmy Dickens - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



If she seems cold and bitter, I beg of you
Stop and consider all she's been through
Don't be quick to condemn her for things she might say
Woah, don't blame her, life turned her that way

She's been walked on and stepped on so many times
And I hate to admit it, but that last footprint's mine
She was crying when I met her, she cries harder today
Woah, don't blame her, life turned her that way

She's been walked on and stepped on so many times
And I hate to admit it, but that last footprint's mine
She was crying when I met her, she cries harder today
Woah, don't blame her, life turned her that way
Woah, don't blame her, life turned her that way

Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home


Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer - Harold Arlen
Performer(s): Ruby Hill
and multiple other artists



Free and easy, that's my style
Howdy-do me, watch me smile
Fare-thee-well me after a while
'Cause I gotta roam
And any place I hang my hat is home

Sweetenin' water, cherry wine
Thank you kindly, suits me fine
Kansas City, Caroline
That's my honeycomb
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home

Birds roostin' in a tree
Pick up and go, and the goin' proves
That's how it oughta be
I pick up too when the spirit moves me
Cross the river, 'round the bend
"Hello stranger!", "So long friend!"
There's a voice in the lonesome wind
That keeps whisp'ring, "Roam!"
I'm going where a welcome mat is
No matter where that is
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home

Den Sköna Helén


Den Sköna Helén (aka Eller Flickan I Peru)
Composer(s): Benjamin Russel Hanby - Evert Taube



Nu jag sjunger om ett annat land och om en annan kust
Och om minnen från min ungdomsflydda dar
Det är sången om den flickan som i glädje nöd och lust
Lovat älska den hon redan svikit har

Vilka dagar vilka stunder utav kärlek sol och sång
Vilka nätter uti silvermånens glans
Och i skuggan ut av palmer har vi vandrat mången gång
Större lycka på jorden aldrig fanns

Och min älskling i Peru
Jag är alltid ensam nu
Med min sorg min längtan och min melodi
Ingen sjunger nu som förr du sjöng för mig i Tapalque
Och min sköna, min älskade Helene

Ack när vågor sakta viskar i vår vik i Tapalque
Solen sjunker i Stilla havets famn
Sitter jag här upp i Nordens land och värmer mina ben
Framför brasan i mitt rum på Östermalm

Ensam glömd av alla och likså av den jag älskat mest
Och förutan annan tröst uti min sorg
Än det hoppet att få hyran ut till våren om igen
Ombord i skeppet Gripen ifrån Göteborg

Och min älskling i Peru
Jag är alltid ensam nu
Med min sorg min längtan och min melodi
Ingen sjunger nu som förr du sjöng för mig i Tapalque
Och min sköna, min älskade Helene

Standing In The Twilight


Standing In The Twilight
Performer(s): Maywood



I need love and some affection
I need a shoulder to cry on
But every time they seem to find out who I am
Everything goes wrong
I am a well respected lady
being pictured the upper class (upper class, upper class)
I can't go walking around in jeans or shirt
but I couldn't care less
I wanna be there, hanging around
I wanna be there, getting my feet back on the ground

Standing in the twilight, darling
Can't you lend helping hand?
Won't you take me with you where it's peaceful?
Baby, try to understand
Standing in the twilight, darling
Every time you're watching me
But will it live up to expectations?
Won't you keep me company?

I miss the movement and the action
I miss the boy who called me "love"
The way he held my hand and sang me a song
about all the stars above
Last night I dreamed about a party (party, party)
and every one was there
I miss his tender smile, how he once in a while was messing up my hair
I wanna be there, hanging around
I wanna be there, getting my feet back on the ground

(Twilight, twilight, twilight, twilight)
(Twilight, twilight, twilight, twilight)

Den Jag Väntat På


Den Jag Väntat På
Composer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



Låt mig tala om
Idag han till mig kom
Just han som jag har väntat på

En enda blick du gav
Jag kände mig så svag
Förstod med ens att något hänt

Jag ber dig ej om mer
Den lycka du mig ger
Att bara finnas nära mig

Nu finns blott du och jag
Hur varje ensam dag
Förbytts mot det jag drömde om

Att blott få älska dig
Är allt jag önskat mig
Och framför mig jag ser
Att du emot mig ler
Vi båda trohet svär
Jag vet att du är här
Och nu vet jag vad kärlek är

Jag ger dig allt jag har
Och kärleken finns kvar
All kärlek jag har spart för dig

Så underbart det är
Att känna sig så här
Jag vet att det är du som
Gett mig allt det här
Så tack för att du kom
Låt mig få tala om
Att du är den jag väntat på

Så tack för att du kom
Låt mig få tala om
Att du är den jag väntat på
