The Christmas Spell
The Christmas Spell
Composer(s): J. Palmer; Willard Robison
Performer(s): Peggy Lee
When you walk down the street
and a stranger you meet
smiles a 'how do you do'
You can tell
The Christmas Spell
Every heart heart gets a lift
when they buy that certain gift
for a somebody who loves so well
The Christmas Spell
You see frosty little noses
Red as little roses
Pressed on every toy store window pane
Once again you stop and mingle
in the spirit of Kris Kringle
Every leather jingle bell
Ringing happy Noel
This old world couldn't fail
If that feeling would prevail
Every day in the year
Life would be so swell
In every heart would dwell
The Christmas Spell
Once again you stop and mingle
in the spirit of Kris Kringle
Every leather jingle bell
Ringing happy Noel
This old world couldn't fail
if that feeling would prevail
Every day in the year
Life would be so swell
In every heart would dwell
The Christmas Spell

No More Lovers
No More Lovers
Composer(s): Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup; A. Jackson
Performer(s): Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup
We won't be no more lovers, we gon' be old friends
We won't be no more lovers, we gonna be old friends
You can help me find a woman, I'll help you with your man
I was in love with you baby, you was in love with someone else
I was in love with you baby, you was in love with someone else
You know darn well that I loved you, and wanted you for myself
I even tried to love when I knew you was untrue
I even tried to love when I knew you was untrue
You went away and left me, I'll find someone who is true

It Hurts Me
It Hurts Me
((French Version: Ça Fait Mal (by Johnny Hallyday) - 1964)
Composer(s): Joy Byers - Charles E. Daniels
First release by: Elvis Presley - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists
It hurts me to see him treat you the way he does
It hurts me to see sit and cry
When I know I could be so true
If I had someone like you
It hurts me to see those tears in your eyes
The whole town is talking, they're callin' you a fool
For listening to his same old lies
And when I know I could be so true
If I had someone like you
It hurts me to see the way he makes you cry
You love him too much, you're too blind to see
He's only playing a game
But he's never loved you
He never will
And darling, don't you know he will never change
Oh, I know he never will set you free
Because he's just that kind of guy
But if you ever tell him you're through
I'll be waiting for you
Waiting to hold you so tight
Waiting to kiss you goodnight
Yes, darling, if I had someone like you

No Moon At All
No Moon At All
Composer(s): Redd Evans; Dave Mann
Performer(s): Julie London;
and various other artists
No moon at all, what a night
Even lightning bugs have dimmed their light
Stars have disappeared from sight
And there’s no moon at all
Don’t make a sound, it’s so dark
Even Fido is afraid to bark
What a perfect chance to park
And there’s no moon at all
Should we want atmosphere
Or inspiration, dear
One kiss will make it clear
That tonight’s the night
And bright moonlight might interfere
No moon at all, up above
This is nothing like they told us of
Just to think we fell in love
And there’s no moon at all
Should we want atmosphere
Or inspiration, dear
One kiss will make it clear
That tonight’s the night
And bright moonlight might interfere

Whatever It Is, I'm Against It
Whatever It Is, I'm Against It
From the Marx Bros. film "Horse Feathers" (1932)
Composer(s): Harry Ruby; Bert Kalmar
Performer(s): Groucho Marx
I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway
Whatever it is, I'm against it!
No matter what it is
Or who commenced it
I'm against it!
Your proposition may be good
But let's have one thing understood
Whatever it is, I'm against it!
And even when you've changed it
Or condensed it
I'm against it!
I'm opposed to it
On general principles
I'm opposed to it!
(He's opposed to it)
(In fact, he says he's opposed to it!)
For months before my son was born
I used to yell from night to morn
"Whatever it is, I'm against it!"
And I've kept yelling
Since I first commenced it
"I'm against it!"

No Money Down
No Money Down
Composer(s): Chuck Berry
Performer(s): Chuck Berry;
and various other artists
As I was motivatin'
Back in town
I saw a Cadillac sign
Sayin' "No Money Down"
So I eased on my brakes
And I pulled in the drive
Gunned my motor twice
Then I walked inside
Dealer came to me
Said "Trade in you Ford
And I'll put you in a car
That'll eat up the road
Just tell me what you want
And then sign on that line
And I'll have it brought down to you
In a hour's time"
I'm gonna get me a car
And I'll be headed on down the road
Then I won't have to worry
About that broken - down, ragged Ford
"Well Mister I want a yellow convertible
Four - door de Ville
With a Continental spare
And a wire chrome wheel
I want power steering
And power brakes
I want a powerful motor
With a jet off - take
I want air condition
I want automatic heat
And I want a full Murphy bed
In my back seat
I want short - wave radio
I want TV and a phone
You know I gotta talk to my baby
When I'm ridin' alone"
Yes I'm gon' get that car
And I'm gon' head on down the road
Yeah, then I won't have to worry
About that broken - down, ragged Ford
"I want four carburetors
And two straight exhausts
I'm burnin' aviation fuel
No matter what that cost
I want railroad air horns
And a military spot
And I want a five - year guarantee
On everything I got
I want ten - dollar deductible
I want twenty dollar notes
I want thirty thousand liability"
That's all she wrote
I got me a car
And I'm headed on down the road
No money down
I don't have to worry
About that broken - down, ragged Ford

It Has Not Taken Long
It Has Not Taken Long
Composer(s): Nico
Performer(s): Nico
It has not taken long
It has not taken long
The hunters they are hiding from me
A wooden hand
A golden reed
A waiting end for them to bleed
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
It has not taken long
It has not taken long
To feast our naked eye upon
The open blade
The hungry beast have found her calling
Calling help me please
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

No Milk Today
No Milk Today
Composer(s): Graham Gouldman
Performer(s): Herman's Hermits;
and various other artists
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why
How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know the palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up two down
No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
As music played the faster did we dance
We felt it both at once, the start of our romance
How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up two down
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why
How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town

Postman Blues
Postman Blues
Composer(s): Dinah Washington; Tab Smith
Performer(s): Dinah Washington; Tab Smith
Baby, when you receive this letter, I hope it will explain
Yes baby, when you receive this letter, I hope it will explain
'Cause I was too unfaithful, now I'm home in bed and sick with pain!
All my friends told me that you were just a clown
Still I let your sweet words let my love come tumblin' down!
Yes I've got them, got those letter writin' blues
Forget the dirt you did me, you can have me any time you choose!
They say you're just a sweet man, just like a plum or prune
All you need to do is whistle and I'll be lovin' you till next June!
Yes I've got them, got them letter writin' blues
Forget the dirt you did me, you can have me any time you choose!
I wrote you six or eight times, or maybe three or four
The postman returned them to me, and said, "You're just a constant bore!"
Yes I've got them, got them letter writin' blues
Forget the dirt you did me, you can have me any time you choose!

No Mercy (The Stranglers)
No Mercy
Composer(s): The Stranglers
Performer(s): The Stranglers
Everyday you're working like a slave
Sweating buckets hoping that you get it right
Will it be as tough tomorrow
have to wait and see
Life shows no mercy
Everyday your love is getting warmer
Just look at her and I love her
did you get it right?
Will she soothe your brow with kisses only meant for thee?
She'll show no mercy
she'll show no mercy
And when you hold her close to you
Just when you're feeling good it's true
Life shows no mercy
life shows no mercy
Life shows no mercy
life shows no mercy
Everybody has some secret wishes
Just keep your fingers crossed
maybe they'll all come true
But don't worry if they just remain a fantasy
Life shows no mercy
Everybody seems the same all over
The search is on for love and comfort constantly
If it comes your way tomorrow count yourself lucky
Life shows no mercy
life shows no mercy
And when you hold her close to you
. . .
Life shows no mercy
life shows no mercy
life shows no mercy
no mercy
Life shows no mercy
no mercy
life shows no mercy
no mercy
Life shows no mercy
no mercy
life shows no mercy
no mercy
Life shows no mercy
no mercy
life shows no mercy

It Happens To Be Me
It Happens To Be Me
Composer(s): Sammy Gallop; Arthur Kent
Performer(s): Nat King Cole
and multiple other artists
Someone longs for you and your caress
He's learning now how empty arms can be
Someone who used to know your kiss not long ago
That someone happens to be me
How he misses you and must confess
Without you he's like driftwood on the sea
He's just a dreamer who is still in love with you
That dreamer happens to be me
I'll never know just why we parted
It's more than I can comprehend
I only know when you departed
You started a night that has no end
Perhaps there'll come a time when you're alone
Your heart still haunted by a memory
If then you chance to find there's someone on your mind
I hope it happens to be me
Perhaps there'll come a time when you're alone
Your heart still haunted by a memory
If then you chance to find there's someone on your mind
I hope it happens to be me
I hope it happens to be me

No Mercy (Nils Lofgren)
No Mercy
Composer(s): Nils Lofgren
Performer(s): Nils Lofgren
Out for the first - the atmosphere is heavy
World title lays on the line
Strong and proud he is much older
I am the faster I’m in my prime
Third round late he starts to tire
Open cut over his left eye
Smelling blood attack is relentless
In the back seats I see his girl cry
Cry - No mercy, no quarter
No place to hide for me and the man
Lefts and rights never came in harder
No mercy, take it while you can - now!
No mercy take it while you can
Back in my corner they scream "No mercy!"
"Put him away, don’t let him recover!"
Someone’s eyes drills holes in my head
It is his proud determined mother
Cry - No mercy, no quarter
No place to hide for me or the man
Right and wrong never came in harder
No mercy, take it while you can - now!
No mercy, take it while you can
I wish another could do this thing for me
His eyes are flooded, doubt he can even see
I hungered this title but now it don’t seem right
I fight back tears while I destroy his life
Cry - No mercy, no quarter
No place to hide for me and the man
Lefts and rights never came in harder
No mercy , take it while you can - now!
No mercy take it while you can
Cry - No mercy, no quarter
No place to hide for me or the man
Right and wrong never came in harder
No mercy, take it while you can - now!
No mercy, take it while you can

Passion flower
Sent from the blue above
You're a flower of love
Passion flower
Free as a star in flight
Laughing through the night

Not wanting me
Yet haunting me
Each day!
Stay with me
My passion flower
You are all I'm dreaming of
Passion flower of love!
Passion flower of love!

It Happens Everyday
It Happens Everyday
Composer(s): Carly Simon
Carly Simon; Les Paul
It happens everyday
Two lovers with the best intentions to stay
Together, they decide to separate
Just how it happens neither is certain
But it happens everyday
It happens everyday
After you break up you say these words to your friends
"How could I have loved that boy?"
"He was so bad to me in the end"
Well, you make him a liar
Turn him into a robber
Well, it happens everyday
But I don't regret that I loved you
How I loved you I will never forget
And in time I'll look back and remember
The boy that I knew when we first met
Still, it happens everyday
Two lovers turn and twist their love into hate
But am I so different from that young girl you used to date?
You used to adore me
You used to adore me
Still, it happens every……day
Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Everyday, yeah, yeah, yeah

Pacific Coast Blues
Pacific Coast Blues
Composer(s): Wilbert Barranco; Charles Mingus
Performer(s): Dinah Washington; Charles Mingus; Lucky Thompson
Well, the mornin' sun is risin' and I'm sittin' on your back door step
Yes, I'm just a fugitive from slumber, can't count one hour that I've slept!
I'm just as blue as the Pacific, and I know my eyes are just as wet!
Yes, I thought you loved me baby, but I guess I didn't know the score
And I'd give a dozen daydreams to hold you in my arms once more!
And if you ever need me, you'll find me waitin' for you at your door
So baby, think it over, don't let another day pass by
Come on and talk to me daddy, tell mama just one more soothin' lie!
If I can't have your lovin', I'm gonna kiss this world goodbye!

No Me Mires Así
No Me Mires Así
Composer(s): Raul Abramzon; Leonardo Schultz
Performer(s): José Feliciano;
and various other artists
No me mires así
que me estoy volviendo loco
no te acerques a mí
que me matas poco a poco
cuando miras así
reconozco tu mensaje
tu me quieres tener
y yo, enamorarte
No me mires así
que te siento con mi cuerpo
tu me quieres encender
con las llamas de tu fuego
cuando miras así
y no quieres entregarte
tu te ríes de mí
y eso a nadie se le hace
Si hay miradas que matan
la tuya me dio en el corazón
y el calor que proyectan tus ojos
es más fuerte que el sol
si hay miradas que matan
me muero y me muero por ti
y por eso te imploro
no sigas mirándome así
No me mires así
que no puedo controlarme
no podría resistir
el deseo de abrazarte
cuando miras así
y no quieres entregarte
tu te ríes de mí
y eso a nadie se le hace
Si hay miradas que matan.....
