Doggin' Around
Doggin' Around
Composer(s): Paul Tarnopol - Lena Agree
Performer(s): Jackie Wilson
You'd better stop, yeah, doooogin' around
If you don't stop, yeah
I'm gonna put you down
Cause I can't take it (ba-ba-ba-ba)
Much longer (ba-ba-ba-ba)
My heart's getting weak (ba-ba-ba-ba)
It's not getting any stronger (ba-ba-ba-ba)
You keep me so upset (ba-ba-ba-ba)
My head's in a roll (ba-ba-ba-ba)
But if you wanna be my girl
You'd better stop, yeah, doooogin' around
Cause if you don't stop
I, yeah, I'm gonna put you down
Ah, you know ya go out nights
To have yourself a ball
Sometimes you don't
You don't make it home at all
I don't mind you havin' yourself a real good time
But now, what you're tryin' to do
Is tryin' to make me lose my mind
Better stop, yeah, dooooogin' me around
If you don't stop, I'm gonna put you down
Yes, put you down
I don't wanna do it
But I'll have to put you down...
I love you, baby
But I'll still have to put you down

At The Chime Of A City Clock
At The Chime Of A City Clock
Composer(s): Nick Drake
First release by: Nick Drake - 1970
A city freeze
Get on your knees
Pray for warmth and green paper
A city drought
You're down and out
See your trousers don't taper
Saddle up
Kick your feet
Ride the range of a london street
Travel to a local plane
Turn around and come back again
And at the chime of the city clock
Put up your road block
Hang on to your crown
For a stone in a tin can
Is wealth to the city man
Who leaves his armour down
Stay indoors
Beneath the floors
Talk with neighbours only
The games you play
Make people say
You're either weird or lonely
A city star
Won't shine too far
On account of the way you are
And the beads
Around your face
Make you sure to fit back in plac
And at the beat of the city drum
See how your friends come in twos
Or threes or more
For the sound of a busy place
Is fine for a pretty face
Who knows what a face is for
The city clown
Will soon fall down
Without a face to hide in
And he will lose
If he won't choose
The one he may confide in
Sonny boy
With smokes for sale
Went to ground with a face so pale
And never heard
About the change
Showed his hand and fell out of range
In the light of a city square
Find out the face that's fair
Keep it by your side.
When the light of the city falls
You fly to the city walls
Take off with your bride
But at the chime of a city clock
Put up your road block
Hang on to your crown
For a stone in a tin can
Is wealth to the city man
Who leaves his armour down

The Tattooed Lady (The Kingston Trio)
The Tattooed Lady
Composer(s): Dave Guard - Nick Reynolds - Bob Shane
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio; Jethro Burns
We came to town to see
That old tattooed lady
She was a sight to see
Tattooed from head to knee
My uncle Ned was there
He came to gape and stare
"I've never!" he declared
"Seen such a freak so fair"
And on her jaw
Was the Royal Flying Corp
And on her back was the Union Jack
Now could you ask for more?
All up and down her spine
Marched the Queen's own guards in line
And all around her hips
Sailed a fleet of battleships
And over her left kidney
Was a bird's eye view of Sidney
But what we liked best was upon her chest
My little home in Waikiki! (What did you say?)
We came to town to see
That old tattooed lady
She was a sight to see
Tattooed from head to knee
My uncle Ned was there
He came to gape and stare
"I've never!" he declared
"Seen such a freak so fair"
And on her jaw
Was the Royal Flying Corp
And on her back was the Union Jack
Now could you ask for more?
All up and down her spine
Marched the Queen's own guards in line
And all around her hips
Sailed a fleet of battleships
And over her left kidney
Was a bird's eye view of Sidney
But what we liked best was upon her chest
My little home in Waikiki! (What did you say?)

Because I Love You (Buddy Holly)
Because I Love You
Performer(s): Buddy Holly
Well they say what you don't know won't hurt you
And I believe that it's so
So don't tell me that you found someone new
To go thru life with you
Because I love you my darling, my dearest I love you
You're the one I want nearest, may I love you
And I will bet you love me too
Oh, I'd rather die thinking you love me
Than to go on thru life without you
And you with someone new
To go thru life with you
Well, because I love you, I love you, my darling
My dearest I love you, I love you
You're the one I want nearest, may I love you, I love you
And I will bet you love me too
Oh, I'd rather die thinking you love me
Than to go on thru life without you
And you with someone new
To go thru life with you

Dog And Butterfly
Dog And Butterfly
Composer(s): Ann Wilson - Nancy Wilson - Sue Ennis
Performer(s): Heart; Kat Zotos
There I was with the old man
stranded again, so off I'd ran
A young world crashing around me
no possibilities of getting what I need
He looked at me and smiled
said, "No no no no no child"
See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly
Below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft ground
Laughing, she don't know why
She don't know why
Dog and butterfly
Well I stumbled upon your secret place
Safe in the trees you had tears on your face
Wrestling with your desires
frozen strangers stealing your fires
The message hit my mind
Only words that I could find
See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly
Below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft ground
Laughing to the sky
Up to the sky
Dog and butterfly
We're getting older
the world's getting colder
For the life of me
I don't know the reason why
Maybe it's living, making us give in
Hearts rolling in, taken back on the tide
We're balanced together, ocean upon the sky
Another night in a strange town
Moonlight holding me light as down
Voice of confusion inside of me
begging to go back where I'm free
Feels like I'm through
Then the old man's words are true
See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly
Below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft ground
with a little tear in her eye
She had to try...she had to try
Dog and butterfly

At The Ball, That's All
At The Ball, That's All
Composer(s): T. Marvin Hatley
Performer(s): Laurel & Hardy & The Avalon Boys
Commence advancin', commence advancin'
Just start a prancin', right and left a-glancin'
A moochee dancin', slide and glide entrancin'
You do the tango jiggle
With a Texas Tommy wiggle
Take your partner, and you hold her
Lightly enfold her, a little bolder
Just work your shoulder
Snap your fingers one and all, in the hall
At the ball, that's all, some ball

Doesn't Somebody Want To Be Wanted
Doesn't Somebody Want To Be Wanted
Composer(s): Mike Appel - Jim Cretecos - Wes Farrell
Performer(s): The Partridge Family
I go downtown and roam all around
But every street I walk I find another dead end
I'm on my own but I'm so all alone
I need somebody so I won't have to pretend
I know there's someone just waiting somewhere
I look around for her but she's just not there
Oh doesn't somebody want to be wanted like me
Where are you
Doesn't somebody want to be wanted like me
Just like me
I'm running free but I don't want to be
I couldn't take a day like yesterday
I'm dead on my feet from walking the street
I need somebody to help me find my way
I gotta get outta this town (outta this town)
Before I do I'll take a last look around
Oh doesn't somebody want to be wanted like me
Where are you
Doesn't somebody want to be wanted like me
Just like me
You know, I'm no different from anybody else... start and end each night
It gets real lonely when you're by yourself
Now where is love, and who is love
I gotta know
Oh doesn't somebody want to be wanted like me
Where are you
Doesn't somebody want to be wanted like me
Just like me

Performer(s): Janet Jackson
and multiple other artists
Hmm, he-he
Oh, hey
Doesn’t matter (it doesn’t matter)
Doesn’t matter at all
Doesn’t matter what your friends are telling you
Doesn’t matter what my family’s saying too
It just matters that I’m in love with you
It only matters that you love me too
It doesn’t matter if they won’t accept you
I’m accepting of you and the things you do
Just as long as it’s you
Nobody but you, baby, baby
My love for you, unconditional love too
Gotta get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up and show you that it
Doesn’t really matter what the eye is seeing
'Cause I’m in love with the inner being
And it doesn’t really matter what they believe
What matters to me is you’re in love with me
Doesn’t really matter what the eye is seeing
'Cause I’m in love with the inner being
And it doesn’t really matter what they believe
What matters to me is you’re nutty-nutty-nutty for me
(you’re so kind)
Just what I asked for, you’re so loving and kind
(and you’re mine)
And I can’t believe you’re mine
Doesn’t matter if you’re feeling insecure
Doesn’t matter if you’re feeling so unsure
'Cause I’ll take away the doubt within your heart
And show that my love will never hurt or harm
Doesn’t matter what the pain we go through
Doesn’t matter if the money’s gone too
Just as long as I’m with you
Nobody but you, baby, baby
You’re love for me, unconditional I see
Gotta get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up and show you that it
Doesn’t really matter what the eye is seeing
'Cause I’m in love with the inner being
And it doesn’t really matter what they believe

Doesn’t really matter what the eye is seeing
'Cause I’m in love with the inner being
And it doesn’t really matter what they believe
What matters to me is you’re nutty-nutty-nutty for me
(you’re so kind)
Just what I asked for, you’re so loving and kind
(and you’re mine)
And I can’t believe you’re mine
Doesn’t matter what they say
'Cause you know I’m gonna love you anyway
Doesn’t matter what they do
Cause my love will always be with you
My love for you unconditional love too
Gotta get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up and show you that
My love is true, and it’s just for you, uh
Doesn’t really matter what the eye is seeing
'Cause I’m in love with the inner being
And it doesn’t really matter what they believe
What matters to me is you’re in love with me
Doesn’t really matter what the eye is seeing
'Cause I’m in love with the inner being
And it doesn’t really matter what they believe
What matters to me is you’re nutty-nutty-nutty for me
Nutty-nutty-nutty my love for you
I can’t believe my dreams come true
I’ve finally found somebody whose heart is true
And best of all you love me to

I can’t believe my dreams come true
I’ve finally found somebody whose heart is true
And best of all you’re nutty-nutty-nutty for me

At The Balalaika
At The Balalaika
Composer(s): George Forrest - Eric Maschwitz - Simon Posford - Herbert Stothart - Robert B. Wright
Performer(s): Nelson Eddy & Jeanette Macdonald
and multiple other artists
When the melancholy shadows fall
My heart is melancholy too
Then I hear the Balalaika's call
And life is gay and bright and new
At the Balalaika
Where there is magic in the sparkling wine
And mellow music in the candles' shine
I have a rendezvous!
At the Balalaika
Who knows what ecstasy tonight may bring
What lovely melody my heart may sing
Before the night is through
I hear a violin, a haunting gypsy violin
And when it sighs its strangely tender song
I know that I belong
At the Balalaika
Oh let me linger there till break of day
Where hearts are young and balalaikas play
I have a rendezvous!
At the Balalaika
Oh let me linger there till break of day
Where hearts are young and balalaikas play
I have a rendezvous!

Doesn't Anybody Stay Together Anymore?
Doesn't Anybody Stay Together Anymore?
Composer(s): Phil Collins - Daryl Stuermer
Performer(s): Phil Collins; Paul D'Adamo
You keep on walking so you don't fall down
It's the same old story
You keep on hiding so you can't be found
It's the same old story
Oh but I know you, you're the one who ran
You know why, it's because you can, oh
It's alright, cos I don't mind
I'm just trying to help, but I wonder why
Doesn't anybody stay together anymore
I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
My friends keep falling and they can't get up
It's the same old story
Well one says white and the other one black
It's the same old story
And I don't know why you keep emotions walled up
Your heart's on your sleeve, but your sleeve is rolled up
But it's alright, cos I don't mind
I'm just trying to help, but I wonder why
Doesn't anybody stay together anymore
I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
Things can change, from a misunderstanding
Nobody talks, nobody hears, oh oh oh
Makes me wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
Oh I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
You keep on looking for that higher ground
It's the same old story
Your glass is empty and the chips are down
It's the same old story
But I don't know why, your emotions walled up
Your heart's on your sleeve, but your sleeve is rolled up
But it's alright, cos I don't mind
I'm just trying to help, but I wonder why
Doesn't anybody stay together anymore
I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
Oh I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore

At Seventeen
At Seventeen
((French Version: 17 Ans (by Claude François) - 1975))
Composer(s): Janis Ian
First release by: Janis Ian - 1975
I learned the truth at seventeen
That love was meant for beauty queens
In high school girls with clear skinned smiles
Who married young and then retired
The valentines I never knew
The Friday night charades of youth
Were spent on one more beautiful
At seventeen I learned the truth
And those of us with ravaged faces
Lacking in the social graces
Desperately remained at home
Inventing lovers on the phone
Who called to say come dance with me
And murmured vague obscenities
It isn't all it seems
At seventeen
A brown eyed girl in hand me downs
Whose name I never could pronounce
Said, Pity please the ones who serve
They only get what they deserve
And the rich relationed hometown queen
Married into what she needs
A guarantee of company
And haven for the elderly
Remember those who win the game
Lose the love they sought to gain
Indebentures of quality
And dubious integrity
Their small town eyes will gape at you
in dull surprise when payment due
Exceeds accounts received
At seventeen
To those of us who knew the pain
Of valentines that never came
And those whose names were never called
When choosing sides for basketball
It was long ago and far away
The world was younger than today
And dreams were all they gave for free
To ugly duckling girls like me
We all play the game and when we dare
To cheat ourselves at solitaire
Inventing lovers on the phone
Repenting other lives unknown
That call and say, come dance with me
And murmur vague obscenities
At ugly girls like me
At seventeen

Does Your Mother Know
Does Your Mother Know
Performer(s): The Earls Inc.
Does your mother know
How much I love you
Does she really know
How much I care for you
Oh, does he really know
Does she realize
I love you, you, you, you
Many lonely nights I sit alone at home
(Thinking about you)
Thinking of you only, and girl, of you alone
Oh, does she really know
Does she realize
I love you, you, you, you
How does your mother know
That I really love you so
Girl, ???
Think it would end without you
Oh... when you're away
I read your letters every day
And the words I have read
Brings me joy in so many ways
Oh, does your mother know
Does she realize
I love you, you, you, you
As I lost your love for me
And I love you and I need you and I want you and I love

17 Ans (Claude François)
17 Ans
((Adapted from: At Seventeen (by Janis Ian) - 1975))
Composer(s): Janis Ian - Frank Thomas
Performer(s): Claude François - 1975
J'ai eu moi aussi dix-sept ans
Le monde n'était pas différent
Certains n'avaient rien à gagner
Des places leur étaient réservées
L'été ils avaient la villa
L'auto que leur prêtait papa
Leur mère leur donnait plein d'argent
Certains ont tout à dix-sept ans
Moi on ne me connaissait pas
Les autres avaient tous un' vespa
Quand j'allais
Pour me baigner
Avec mon chien sur la jetée
Ils me poursuivaient en riant
Je revenais les coudes en sang
Le courage ça s'apprend
À dix-sept ans
J'allais au collège français
J'étais dans l'équipe de relais
Toujours le troisième coureur
Je n'ai jamais reçu de fleurs
Je détachais dans des revues
Tout' celles qui étaient moitié nues
J'ai fait l'amour solitairement
Où est la honte
À dix-sept ans
Dans les rues de la haute ville
J'ai vu mon destin difficile
Je devais
Pour arriver
Serrer les poings bien des années
Lançant des pierres contre le vent
J'ai fait des rêves de géant
Je suis devenu fort
À dix-sept ans
Alors la rage me prenait dans le cœur
Et j'étais fils d'ambassadeur
J'inventais oui mais j'étais
Bien reçu et considéré
J'étais trahi en peu de temps
Et l'on riait à mes dépens
Alors j'ai tout compris
À dix-sept ans
J'ai eu moi aussi dix-sept ans
Un' fille s'en souvient sûrement
Sans me demander qui j'étais
La première fois ell' m'a aimé
J'ai eu moi aussi dix-sept ans
Mais qu'ils sont loin mes dix-sept ans

Does Your Mama Know About Me?
Does Your Mama Know About Me?
Composer(s): Tommy Chong - Tom Baird
Performer(s): Bobby Taylor & The Vancouvers
and multiple other artists
(Does your mama know about me?
Does she know just what I am?
Will she turn her back on me)
Or accept me as a man?
And what about your Dad?
Did you think of what he'll say?
Will he be understanding
Or does he think the usual way?
Maybe I shouldn't worry
But I've been through this before
And I'd like to get things straight
Before I'm knocking on your door
(Does your mama know about me?
Does she know just what I am?
If she says forget about me)
Do you think you'd understand?
And what about your friends?
Do you care what people say?
Will you accept the burdons
I know will surely come your way?
Maybe I shouldn't worry
But I've been through this before
And I'd like to get things straight
Before I'm knocking on your door
(Does your mama know about me?
Does she know just what I am?
Will she turn her back on me?)
Or accept me as a man?
We've got to stand tall
Can't stumble or crawl
We've got to be strong
For love that's so right
Can't be wrong
And every day I see it grow
And I don't want to let it go
I guess that's why I gotta know
(Does your mama know about me?
Does your mama know about me?
Does your mama know about me?
Does your mama know about me?
Does your mama know about me?)

At My Window
At My Window
Composer(s): Brian Wilson - Al Jardine
Performer(s): The Beach Boys
Birds fly up
And down spinnin' round
Flyin' all around
From my window
A little brown sparraw came
Flutterin' down
Le moineau est venu
Se poser ma fenjtre
He came to my window
And as I watched him
I found myself reelin' and turnin' around
And the faster I ran
I ran out of breath and I fell to the ground
(Poof)
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
He came to my window
He came to my window
He came to my window
From their eyes
The people must look like miniature toys
Do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Fly away
Fly away
Fly away

Are You With Me Baby
Are You With Me Baby
Composer(s): Billy Burnette - Rafe Van Hoy
Performer(s): Billy Burnette
Life's too short to go too long like this
Forget where you came from or came here with
Let's talk some serious business
Like just one kiss from your sweet lips
Are you with me baby
We're waistin' precous time
Are you with me baby
Then put your little hand in mine
We're burning moonlight baby
Please don't let me down
Are you with me now
Don't wanna make a scene,
Don't wanna cause a big fuss
I got a little feeling 'bout the two of us
My heart's beatin' hard and it's about to bust
Let's leave this party in a cloud of dust?
Are you with me baby
We're waistin' precous time
Are you with me baby
Then put your little hand in mine
We're burning moonlight baby
Please don't let me down
Are you with me now
As far as I can see we got an open road
It can go on forever if we choose to go
It's not a dream if you believe it's so
There's just one thing that I need to know?

Performer(s): Russ Morgan
and multiple other artists
Tho` we said goodbye
When the moon was high
Does your heart beat for me
I wonder if I still linger
In your memory

As it once used to be
When you`re lonesome, my sweetheart
Does your heart beat for me
When you hear my name
Hear my name
Is the thrill the same
Thrill the same
As it once used to be
When you`re lonesome, my sweetheart
Does your heart beat for me

At My Time Of Life
