Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)


Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)
Composer(s): Sylvester "Sly Stone" Stewart
Performer(s): Sly & The Family Stone



Lookin' at the devil, grinnin' at his gun
Fingers start shakin', I begin to run

Bullets start chasin', I begin to stop
We begin to wrestle I was on the top

Want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
I wanna thank you falettinme be mice elf agin

Stiff all in the collar, fluffy in the face
Chit chat chatter tryin', I begin to run

Want to thank you for the party, I could never stay
Many thangs is on my mind, words in the way

Want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin

Dance to the music
All nite long
Everyday people
Sing a simple song

Mama's so happy
Mama start to cry
Papa still singin'
You can make it if you try

I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin

Flamin' eyes of people fear, burnin' into you
Many men are missin' much, hatin' what they do

Youth and truth are makin' love
Dig it for a starter
Dyin' young is hard to take
Sellin' out is harder

I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin

Thank The Nurse


Thank The Nurse
Performer(s): Country Joe McDonald



Doctors and Physicians diagnose and prescribe
Surgeons can operate but they don't save your life
For when the fever's burning, who helps you through the night
Gives you medication and checks your vital signs?
When you wake up in recovery who's right there by your side?
With a smile and reassurance, restoring your self-pride.

Thank the Nurse that's nursing you
The one that nursed you through
Thank the Nurse that's nursing you
For saving your life... for saving your life...
For Saving Your Life!

Oh, the Doctor is important of that we can't deny
But when you get down to it, the Nurse keeps you alive
The one who cleans your body and bandages your wounds
The one who makes your bed, gives you medicine and food
Helps you through contractions, until the pain subsides
Encourage you to make it 'till you hear your baby cry!

Thank the Nurse that's nursing you
The one that nursed you through
Thank the Nurse that's nursing you
For saving your life... for saving your life...
For Saving Your Life!

When you're sick and convalescing you're seldom in the mood
To pay attention to the one attending you
So full of rack and worry you think you'll lose your mind
You survived the accident but all your friends have died
When the orderly is sleeping and physician can't be found
No need for apprehension a nurse is making rounds!

Thank the Nurse that's nursing you
The one that nursed you through
Thank the Nurse that's nursing you
For saving your life... for saving your life...
For Saving Your Life!

Thank The Lord For The Night Time


Thank The Lord For The Night Time
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond



Daytime turns me off, and I don't mean maybe
Nine-to-five ain't taking me where I'm bound
When it's done, I run out to see my baby
We get groovin' when the sun goes down

I thank the Lord for the night time
To forget the day of up, uptight time
Baby, chase it away
I get relaxation
It's a time to groove
I thank the Lord for the night time
I thank the Lord for you

I'll talk about plans now, baby
I got plenty
Nothing ever seems turn out the the way it should
Talk about money, girl, I ain't got any
Seems like just one time I'm feeling' good

I thank the Lord for the night time
To forget the day of up, uptight time
Baby, chase it away
I get relaxation
It's a time to groove
I thank the lord for the night time
I thank the Lord for you

Thank Heaven For Little Girls


Thank Heaven For Little Girls
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe
First performance/First recording by: Maurice Chevalier - 1958/Hank Jones - 1958
Covered by multiple other artists



Now for example here we find
Exhibit A, the married kind
These ladies stood their ground and won
And I salute them, every one

Here are some others to behold
For whom the bells have never tolled
Oh what a poor defenseless pair
In those pathetic rags they wear
Each time I see a little girl
Of five or six or seven
I can't resist a joyous urge
To smile and say
Thank heaven for little girls
For little girls get
Bigger every day
Thank heaven for little girls
They grow up in
The most delightful way
Those little eyes
So helpless and appealing
When they were flashing
Send you crashing
Through the ceiling
Thank heaven for little girls
Thank heaven for them all
No matter where
No matter who
Without them
What would little boys do
Thank heaven
Thank heaven
Thank heaven for little girls

Chewin' Mama Blues


Chewin' Mama Blues
Composer(s): John Henry
Performer(s): Dinah Washington; Lucky Thompson



I'm in love with a man
Who's not in love with me
Yes, I'm in love with a man
Who's not in love with me
If I can't get that man
I'd just as soon be down deep in the sea

Yes, he's got everything I've wanted
And I'm not speaking of his gold
He's got everything I ever wanted
And I'm not speaking of his gold
He's got that certain somethin'
That really satisfies my soul

I'm telling you right now Baby
I'm gonna get you if I can
Yes, I'm telling you right now Baby
I'm going to get you if I can
How could you want another woman
When you know I can't use another man

Composer(s): Alec R. Costandinos
Performer(s): Love & Kisses



Friday, thank God it's Friday, Friday
Thank God it's Friday, Friday, Friday, Friday

Hey put a smile on your face
Things are coming your way out there
Somewhere tonight it is the right time and place

I saw you baby for the very first time
Couldn't take my eyes off you girl
You just had to be mine
You're the kind that people long for
It just had to be you girl
I know this time I'll make all my dreams come ture

Hey see the stars in his eyes
And the music in you tells you how
You can find your way to paradise

Hey put a smile on your face
Things are coming your way out there
Somewhere tonight it is the right time and place
Hey see the stars in his eyes
Does he value my love

Thank God I'm A Country Boy


Thank God I'm A Country Boy
Composer(s): John Sommers - John Martin Sommers
Performer(s): John Denver



Well, life on the farm is kind of laid back
Ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack
It's early to rise, early in the sack
Thank God, I'm A Country Boy

Well a simple kind of life never did me no harm
raisin' me a family and working on a farm
My days are all filled with an easy country charm
Thank God I'm a country boy

When the work's all done and the sun's setting low
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin' up the bow
The kids are asleep so I keep it kind of low
Thank God I'm a country boy

I'd play "Sally Goodin'" all day if I could
But the Lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good
So I fiddle when I can, work when I should
Thank God, I'm a country boy

Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle
When the sun's coming up I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothing but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God I'm A country boy

Well I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels
I never was one of them money hungry fools
I'd rather have my fiddle and my farming tools
Thank God I'm a country boy

Yeah, city folk driving in a black limousine
A lot of sad people thinking that's mighty keen
Son, let me tell you now exactly what I mean
I thank God I'm a country boy

Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me an old fiddle
When the sun's coming up I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothing but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy

Well, my fiddle was my daddy's till the day he died
And he took me by the hand and held me close to his side
He said... 'Live a good life and play my fiddle with pride
And thank God you're a country boy

"My daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle
He taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle
Taught me how to love and how to give just a little
Thank God I'm a country boy

Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle
When the sun's coming up I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothing but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy

Thank God I Found You


Thank God I Found You
Composer(s): James Harris - Mariah Carey - Terry Lewis
Performer(s): Joe Henderson, Mariah Carey, 98 Degrees



(Mariah)
I would give up everything
Before I'd separate myself from you
After so much suffering
I've finally found a man that's true
I was all by myself for the longest time
So cold inside
And the hurt from the heart it would not subside
I felt like dying
Until you saved my life

(All)
Thank God I found you
I was lost without you
My every wish and every dream
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight
Completed my whole life
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
'Cause baby I'm so thankful
I found you

(Joe)
I would give you everything
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do
To ensure your happiness
I'll cherish every part of you
Because without you beside me I can't survive
I don't wanna try
If you're keeping me warm each and every night
I'll be all right
'Cause I need you in my life

(All)
Thank God I found you (I'm begging you)
I was lost without you (so lost without you)
My every wish and every dream (every dream, every dream)
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight (brought the sunlight)
Completed my whole life
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
'Cause baby I'm so thankful
I found you

(Mariah & Joe)
See I was so desolate
Before you came to me
Looking back I guess it shows
that we were destined to shine
After the rain to appreciate
And care for what we have
And I'd go through it all over again
To be able to feel this way

(All)
Thank God I found you
I was lost without you (lost without you baby)
My every wish and every dream
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight
Completed my whole life (whole life)
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
Sweet baby I'm so thankful
I found you

(All)
Thank God I found you
I was lost without you
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
My baby I'm so thankful
I found you

(Mariah)
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
My baby I'm so thankful I found you

Lilja Ruusu Ja Kirsikkapuu


Lilja Ruusu Ja Kirsikkapuu
((Adapted from: "Scarborough Fair" (Shirley Collins) - 1959 and "The Side Of A Hill" (Paul Simon) - 1965))
Composer(s): Traditional - Paul Simon - Pertti Reponen
Performer(s): Kirka - 1970

1966 - Scarborough Fair/Canticle (Simon & Garfunkel)
1968 - La Fiera Del Perdono (I Califfi)

Aamunkoittoon et oottanutkaan
lilja, ruusu, kirsikkapuu
Vain muiston talteen talvelta saan
paljon jää ja pois unohtuu

Kerroitko kaikkea minkä mä näin
lilja, ruusu, kirsikkapuu
Niin monta kertaa sanoitta jäin
polku luokses' nyt sammaltuu

Kerroinko onnesta minkä mä sain
lilja, ruusu, kirsikkapuu
Niin paljon kannoit mun huolistain
Raidat kirkkaat nyt haalistuu

Kertoa kuinka nyt sinulle voin
lilja, ruusu, kirsikkapuu
Kun lähdit niin kaiken jäätyvän koin
Laulu linnun pois vaientuu

Aamunkoittoon et oottanutkaan
lilja, ruusu, kirsikkapuu
Vain muiston talteen talvelta saan
paljon jää ja pois unohtuu

Thank God For The Radio


Thank God For The Radio
Composer(s): Max D. Barnes - Robert John Jones
First release by: The Kendalls - 1983



At the wrong end of the highway
When the long night has no end
When there's no one there beside me
'Til I hold you once again

Thank God for the radio when I'm on the road
When I'm far from home and feelin' blue
Thank God for the radio playin' all night long
Playin' all the songs that mean so much to me and you

There's a song that we first danced to
There's a song that played the night we met
There's a song we fell in love to
That's a song I'll never forget

Thank God for the radio when I'm on the road
When I'm far from home and feelin' blue
Thank God for the radio playin' all night long
Playin' all the songs that mean so much to me and you

Thank God for the radio when I'm on the road
When I'm far from home and feelin' blue
Thank God for the radio playin' all night long
Playin' all the songs that mean so much to me and you

Playin' all the songs that mean so much
Till I feel your tender touch
All the songs that mean so much to me and you

Thank God for the radio

Thank God For Kids


Thank God For Kids
Composer(s): Eddy Raven
Performer(s): The Oakridge Boys
and multiple other artists



If it weren't for kids
have you ever thought
There wouldn't be no Santa Claus?
Or look what the stork just brought
Thank God for kids.

And we'd all live in a quiet house
Without Big Bird or a Mickey Mouse
Or Kool-aid on the couch
Thank God for kids

Thank God for kids
there's magic for awhile
A special kind of sunshine in a smile
Do you ever stop to think or wonder why?
The nearest thing to heaven is a child

Daddy how does this thing fly?
And a hundred other where's and why's
I really don't know but I try
Thank God for kids

When I look down
in those trusting eyes
That look to me I realize
There's a love that I can't buy
Thank God for kids

When you get down on your knees tonight
And thank the Lord for His guiding light
And pray they'll turn out right
Thank God for kids
Thank God for kids

Thank God And Greyhound


Thank God And Greyhound
Composer(s): Larry Kingston - Earl Nix
Performer(s): Roy Clark; Ray Pillow



I've made a small fortune, and you've squandered it all
You've shamed me till I feel about one inch tall
But I thought I loved you, and I hoped you would change
so I gritted my teeth and didn't complain

Now you've come to me with a simple goodbye
You tell me you're leaving, but you won't tell me why
We're here at the station and you're getting on
And all I can think of is...

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
I didn't know how much longer I could go on
watching you take the respect out of me
watching you make a total wreck out of me
That big diesel motor is a playing my song

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
That load on my mind got lighter when you got on
That shiney old bus is a beautiful sight
with the black smoke rolling up around the tail lights
It may sound kinda cruel, but I've been silent too long

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!

I'm singing love's old song
The one that when things go wrong, makes you happy
Makes you feel fine
I'm singing love's old song
The melody lingers on forever, now that you're mine

Together we'll sing along
It's heaven loving with you

Love's Made A Fool Of You


Love's Made A Fool Of You
((French Version: L'amour Se Joue De Nous (Vincent Palmer) - 1998))
Composer(s): Buddy Holly - Bob Montgomery
First recording/First release by: The Crickets - 1958/1959
Covered by multiple other artists



Love can make a fool of you
You'd do anything it wants you to
Love can make you feel so good
When it goes like you think it should

Or it can make you cry at night
When you're baby don't treat you right
When you're feeling sad and blue
You know love's made a fool of you

You know love makes fools of men
But you don't care you're gonna try again
Time goes by it's a passing past
You think that love has come at last

But by and by you're gonna find
Crazy love has made you blind
When you're feeling sad and blue
You know love's made a fool of you

Love can make you feel so good
When it goes like you think it should
Or it can make you cry at night
When you're baby don't treat you right

When you're feeling sad and blue
You know love's made a fool of you

Love's Just A Broken Heart


Love's Just A Broken Heart
Composer(s): Kenny Lynch - Mort Shuman
Performer(s): Cilla Black



They told me love was not what I dreamed it would be
And one day if I fell in love then I would see
But I believed when my love came
My dreams would all come true
But I'm no better now
Now that we're worlds apart
Now as the teardrops start
Love's just a broken heart

They told me when I found you
That it wouldn't last
They said you had too many lovers in your past
And foolishly I thought that I could mean much more to you
But I'm no better now
Now that we're worlds apart
Now as the teardrops start
Love's just a broken heart

You told me I was everything a love should be
I was your destiny
I was your reason to live
And you would give all of life's treasures to me

Now I can hear them laughing as they pass my way
They say "I told you so" there's nothing I can say
For they were right and I was wrong
They said so from the start

I lost the only love I knew when I lost you
Yes all too late I realised your words were lies
My dream of love is through
And I'm no better now
Now that we're worlds apart
Now as the teardrops start
Love's just a broken heart
Just one more broken heart

Love's In Our Hearts On Christmas Day


Love's In Our Hearts On Christmas Day
Composer(s): Gary Haase - James Lowell - John Werking
Performer(s): *NSync



Mmm oooo
I know great distance still remains between us
But there's good reason to hold on
It's the happiest time of the year
Filled with laughter and good cheer
As you watch the snow
Sweet love you'll hear me say

You've got my heart on Christmas
Inside my soul your love remains
Love's in our hearts on Christmas day
The days and weeks and months go by so slowly
We are both wishing it would fly oh
As the night begins to fall
Twilight drowns the bedroom chill
Such a rush of joy (rush of joy)
And love, it comforts me
And I do believe

Love's in our hearts on Christmas
Though far apart
As one we pray
Love's in our hearts on Christmas day

A snowflake melts
In your eye it turns to a tear
But your cheek, it stays dry
With your warm smile so near
I have no fear
We're gonna make it
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo

Love's in our hearts on Christmas
Though far apart
As one we pray
Love's in our hearts on Christmas day

Love's in our hearts on Christmas
Though far apart
As one we pray
Love's in our hearts on Christmas day

Love's in our hearts on Christmas
Though far apart
As one we pray
Love's in our hearts on Christmas day

Love's Been Good To Me


Love's Been Good To Me
Composer(s): Rod McKuen
First release by: Rod McKuen - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



I have been a rover
I have walked alone
Hiked a hundred highways
Never found a home
Still in all I'm happy
The reason is, you see
Once in a while, along the way
Love's been good to me

There was a girl in Denver
Before the summer storm
Oh, her eyes were tender
Oh, her arms were warm
And she could smile away the thunder
Kiss away the rain
Even though she's gone away
You won't hear me complain
I have been a rover

I have walked alone
Hiked a hundred highways
Never found a home
Still in all I'm happy
The reason is, you see
Once in a while, along the way
Love's been good to me

There was a girl in Portland
Before the winter chill
We used to go a-courtin'
Along October hill
And she could laugh away the dark clouds
Cry away the snow
It seems like only yesterday
As down the road I go

I've been a rover
I have walked alone
Hiked a hundred highways
Never found a home
Still in all I'm happy
The reason is, you see
Once in a while, along the way
Love's been good to me

Love's Been A Little Bit Hard On Me


Love's Been A Little Bit Hard On Me
Performer(s): Juice Newton



I've got nothing to be ashamed of
Love's been a little bit hard on me
If I shy away it's only because
Love's been a little bit hard on me

Love's been a little
Oh love's been a little
Love's been a little bit hard on me
Love's been a little
Oh you know just been a little
Love's been a little bit hard on me

I can remember when it's been so much
Love's been a little bit hard on me
I shy away at the slightest touch
Love's been a little bit hard on me

Come out, come out
To the hopeless romantic inside
Shout it's all right, all right
To stay so dark
So close to the light

I'll be back when I calm my fears
Love's been a little bit hard on me
See you around in a thousand years

Lovers Who Wander


Lovers Who Wander
Composer(s): Dion DiMucci - Ernie Maresca
Performer(s): Dion & The Belmonts



When she kissed me I was born and she said goodbye
And I knew right away I was born to cry
Now I'm happy and the joke's on her
'Cause I found that place for lovers who wander

She took my love, said she's not comin' back
So my world and my sky was all turnin' black
Now I see the light, I'm wise to her
'Cause I found that place for lovers who wander

A walkin' around thinkin' about her
Never thought I could live without her
She broke my heart, I really showed it
Look at me now, you'd never know it

Now my story can be told with a smiling face
I'm the luckiest guy in the human race
My dreams have gone for her
'Cause I found that place for lovers who wander

Wo wo wo yeah, she took my love you see
Yeah, she doesn't bother me
Yeah I found that place to be
Yeah, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yeah walkin' around thinkin' about her
I never thought I could live without her
She broke my heart, I really showed it
Look at me now, you'd never know it

Now my story can be told with a smiling face
I'm the luckiest guy in the human race
All my lovin' dreams have gone for her
'Cause I found that place for lovers who wander

Dum dum did it, dum dum did it ...
