Take Good Care Of My Baby


Take Good Care Of My Baby
Composer(s): Gerry Goffin - Carole King
Bobby Vee & The Johnny Mann Singers - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists



My tears are fallin' 'cause you've taken her away
And though it really hurts me so
There's something that I've gotta say

Take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Please don't ever make her blu-u-u-ue
Just tell her that you love her
Make sure you're thinking of her
In everything you say and do-o-o-o

Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Now don't you ever make her cry-y-y-y
Just let your love surround her
Paint a rainbow all around her
Don't let her see a cloudy sky

Once upon a time that little girl was mine
If I'd been true, I know she'd never be with you

So, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me

Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me

Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by

Just, take good care of my ba-a-a-by

Most Of Us Are Sad


Most Of Us Are Sad
Composer(s): Glenn Frey
Performer(s): The Eagles



Most of us are sad
No one lets it show
I've been shadows of myself
How was I to know?
Tell me scarlet sun
what will time allow?
We have brought our children
here Who can save them now?
Oh, Weeping woman try to smile
Like the coming dawn
Most of us are sad it's true
Still we must go on
Love was here today
Oh the sun was bright
I will sing you faraway
Love is here tonight
Most of us are sad
No one lets it show
I've been shadows of myself
How was I to know?

Girls Can't Do What The Guys Do


Girls Can't Do What The Guys Do
Composer(s): Willie Clarke; Clarence Reid
Performer(s): Betty Wright; Dusty Springfield



The guys are gonna wander
Go out and play some times
But girls you must not let it get you down
Just take this advice I give you just like a mother
You try to match your guy just for two
Don't try to do the things that the guys do
Girls you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady, no

And listen girls when you give your heart away
You can easily be hurt
And the least little wrong he does
Always seems like dirt
So take this advice I give you just like a mother
You try to match your man just for two
Don't try to do the things the guys do
Cause girls you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady, no

When you put your faith in one guy
Sometimes he'll make you happy
sometimes he'll make you cry
But don't lose your self-respect
Trying to get revenge
Cause no matter how you do it
You'll lose it in the end
Cause girls you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady, no

Most Of All


Most Of All
Composer(s): Buddy Buie; J.R. Cobb
Performer(s): B.J. Thomas



Hello darlin', my it's good to hear you
I'm at the railroad station in St. Paul
How are all the folks, I'd love to see 'em
But, girl, I'd love to see you most of all

Well I've been staring at the rain
And I've been thinkin'
Ever since the train lest Montreal
Thought I'd always
Love this life I'm living
But now I know I love you most of all

Many times before
I know I swore
That I'd come home
To stay...
But it always seems
That the foolish dreams
And trains got in my way

Tomaorrow there will be snow in Minnesota
But I won't be around to watch it fall
I'll be heading for that old familiar station
Hopin' you still love me...most of all

Girl, you know I love you most of all
I miss ya, baby, most of all
I miss ya baby, most of all

Girls Can Get It


Girls Can Get It
Composer(s): Leslie Pearl
Performer(s): Dr. Hook



Girls have it made
Girls have more fun
Girls have their way
To get lovers anytime they want
Anytime she needs some lovin
Any time she just gives a sign
It won't take her long
To find a man to oblige

Guys got to plot
Guys got to plan
Guys got to lie, cheat, steal
Do anything he can
Anything to get her to love him
Anything to make her agree
That's the way it's been
Since Adam and Eve

Girls can get it anytime they want
Girls can get it where a man often won't
Everybody's always after
Some lovin now and then
A woman gets it faster than any man can

Girls can get it anytime they like
Girls can get it a fact of life
If she calls you for some lovin
In the middle of the night
She can get a man runnin
At the speed of light

We all look for love somewhere, sometime
Girls find it first
They find it morning, noon and night
And it's a wonder of nature
8th wonder of the world
That a man's got to chase her
If he's gonna get the girl

Oh when a woman wants love
A woman gets love
And it's for sure she's gonna find it
Before the sun comes up

Girls can get it, they pick and choose
Girls can get it, men are always in the mood
If she calls you for some lovin
In the middle of the night
She can get a man runnin
At the speed of light

Girls can get it anytime they like
Girls can get it a fact of life
Oh you know she'll find it easy
You know that she can
It's like givin a little water to a thirsty man

Take Care Of This House


Take Care Of This House
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Leonard Bernstein
Performer(s): Julie Andrews
and multiple other artists



Here in this shell of a house
this house that is struggling to be
falling through the hall
coming straight through the wall
is hope staring down at me
but there's nothing you can see
sadness will flow down a cheek
courage stand out like a tree
Joy, joy is as bright
as a comet in flight
but hope isn't easy to see

Take Care Of This House
keep it from harm
if bandits break in sound the alarm
Care for this house
shine it by hand
and keep it so clean
the glow can be seen all over the land

be careful at night
check all the doors
if someone makes off with a dream
the dream will be yours
Take Care Of This House
be always on call
for this house is the home of us all

Be careful at night
check all the doors
if someone makes off with a dream
the dream will be yours
Take Care Of This House
be always on call
for this house its the home of us all

Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)


Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Bob Dylan
and various other artists



You say you love me and you thinking of me
But you know you could be wrong
You say you told me that you want to hold me
But you know you're not that strong

I just can't do what I done before
I just can't beg you any more
I'm gonna let you pass
And I'll go last

And time will tell
Just who has fell
And who's been left behind
When you go your way and I go mine

You say you disturb me and you don't deserve me
But you know sometimes you lie
You say you're shakin' and you're always achin'
But you know how hard you try

Sometimes it gets so hard to care
You can't be this way everywhere
And I'm gonna let you pass
Yes and I'll go last

And time will tell
Just who has fell
And who's been left behind
When you go your way and I'll go mine

Well the judge he holds a grudge
He's gonna call on you
But he's badly built and he walks on stilts
Watch out he don't fall on you

You say you're sorry for telling stories
That you know I believe are true
You say you got some other kind of lover
And I yes I believe you do

You say my kisses are not like his
But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is
I'm just gonna let you pass
Yes, and I'll go last

And time will tell
Who has fell
And who's been left behind
When you go your way and I go mine

Drove my mind through the red light
Before she said, “Go”, uh, well (Baby, let’s go)

It was party time, her body close to mine
That familiar line, dancin’ slow, ho
It was up and down, in, out, and all around
She never made a sound till she let go

Every day they’re findin’ somethin’ new, ho, oh

Girls are more fun, mmm

For those of you who’ve gone the other way
Girls are more fun, oh, yeah

The magic stare, nothing can compare
It’s the best feelin’ anywhere

Girls are more fun
The party ain’t begun till all the girls come
‘Cause girls are more fun

Everybody say, “Yeah” {Yeah, yeah}
Girls are more fun, yeah

Take Back Your Mink


Take Back Your Mink
Composer(s): Frank Loesser
Performer(s): Julie London
and multiple other artists



He bought me the fur mink five winters ago
And the gown the following fall
Then the necklace, the bag, the gloves, and the hat
That was late '48 I recall
Then last night in his apartment
He tried to remove them all
And I said as I ran down the hall

Take back your mink
Take back your pearls
What made you think
That I was one of those girls?
Take back the gown
The gloves and the hat
I may be down
But I'm not flat as all that

I thought that each expensive gift you'd arranged
Was a token of your esteem
But when I think of what you want in exchange
It all seems a horrible dream
Eek!

So take back your mink
To from whence it came
And tell them to alter and rise it
For some other dame

Take back your mink
Take back your pearls
What made you think
That I was one of those girls?
I'm screaming
Take back the gown
The gloves and the hat
I may be down
But I'm not flat as all that

I thought that each expensive gift you'd arranged
Was a token of your esteem
But when I think of what you want in exchange
It all seems a horrible dream
Eek!

Take back your mink
Those old worn out pelts
And go shorten the sleaves
For somebody else

Well, wouldn't you?

Girls


Girls
Composer(s): David Bowie; Erdal Kizilcay
Performer(s): Tina Turner



Girls, we come and we go
We kiss, come and we go
Like a breeze, brushing your cheek
Like pain, like the tears on a face
Girls, we come and we go
Like spirits, we vanish at dawn
My heart, suspended in time
Like you, vanish like tears in the rain

Girls, we take our loves away
Like spirits living so far away
Girls, pretending to break down and cry
Girls, whispering wind, what are we giving away

We used to be so happy
Remember, remember, so happy
I never knew how lonely
Could feel

Ricordati Di Me


Ricordati Di Me

((Danish version: Kærlighed Gør Stærk (by Peter Belli) - 1979))
Composer(s): George Young - Harry Vanda - Mapi
Performer(s): Fiorello - 1993



Ricordati di me
qualche cosa resterà
non chiedermi perchè
so che ci rincorrerà
questo amore di spiagge e lune
non può finir così
non pensavo potesse accadere
il futuro cambiasse così

ricordati di me
il mio mondo non è qua
ricordati di me
capovolgi la realtà
quando il freddo farà tremare
scegli me non aspettare
la mia casa il tuo fuoco sarà
i miei sogni riscaldali tu

ricordati di me
ricordati di me

ricordati di me
io so che succederà
lo farai perchè
sei più forte è verità
avrai tutto se sai rischiare
da domani ti aspetterò
anche un giorno è lungo una vita
se non posso riaverti con me

ricordati di me
il mio mondo non è qua
ricordati di me
capovolgi la realtà
quando il freddo farà tremare
scegli me non aspettare
la mia casa il tuo fuoco sarà
i miei sogni riscaldali tu

ricordati di me
ricordati di me

ricordati di me

Take Back Your Gold


Take Back Your Gold
Composer(s): M.H. Rosenfeld
Performer(s): The Bell Sisters; Frank DeVol & His Orch.; Harry Geller



Take Back Your Gold
Take it back, Take it back
Please take back your gold

Take back your gold
For gold can never buy me
Take back your bribe
And promise you'll be true

Give me the love
The love that you deny me
Make me your wife
That's all I ask of you

I saw youth and maiden
On a lonely city street
And thought them lovers
At their meeting place

Until, as I drew near
I heard the girl's sad voice entreat
The one who heeded
Not her tear-stained fate (and we quote)

Take it back, take it back, Jack
For gold can never buy me
Take it back, take it back, take it back
Promise you'll be true

Give me the love that you deny me
Don't falter, gonna lead you to the altar
So take it back, take it back, take it back, Jack
Take back your gold

Take back your gold

Morse Moose And The Gray Goose


Morse Moose And The Gray Goose
Composer(s): Paul McCartney; Laine
Performer(s): Paul McCartney & Wings



Right on down at the bottom of the sea
tell me, are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you
Right on down at the bottom of the sea
tell me, are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you

The grey goose was a steady boat, people said, she'd never float
But one night when the moon was high, the grey goose flew away
As we were sailing round the rocks, the mate took out his compass box
and said the wind is like a fox but the grey goose flew away

When out upon the open sea, the admiral, the mate and me
prepared to face eternity, but the grey goose flew away
She flew into the stormy sea, Davy Jones was calling me
But heading for tranquillity, the grey goose flew away

Right on down to the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you
Right on down at the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you
Right on down at the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you, yeah

This is the Morse Moose calling, this is the Morse Moose calling
this is the Morse Moose calling, this is the Morse Moose calling…

Right on down at the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you
This is the Morse Moose calling, this is the Morse Moose calling
this is the Morse Moose calling, this is the Morse Moose calling...

Right on down at the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you
Right on down to the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you
Right on down to the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you

This is the Morse Moose calling, this is the Morse Moose calling
this is the Morse Moose calling, this is the Morse Moose calling…

Oh, right on down to the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me?

Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond



Girl.. you'll be a woman soon
Love you so much can't count all the ways
I'd die for you girl and all they can say is
"He's not your kind"
They never get tired of puttin' me down and I never
Know when I come around what I'm gonna find
Don't let them make up your mind
Don't you know..

Girl.. you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl.. you'll be a woman soon
Soon.. you'll need a man

I've been misunderstood for all of my life
But what they're sayin', girl.. just cuts like a knife
"The boy's no good"
Well I finally found what I've been lookin' for
But if they get the chance they'll end it for sure
Sure they would
Baby.. I've done all I could
It's up to you

Girl.. you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl.. you'll be a woman soon
Soon.. you'll need a man

Oh girl.. you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl.. you'll be a woman soon
Soon.. you'll need a man
