Nobody Loves A Fairy When She's Forty


Nobody Loves A Fairy When She's Forty
Composer(s): Arthur Le Clerq
Performer(s): Billy Cotton; Tessie O'Shea



For years a fairy queen I've been
For years I foiled the Demon King
But alas I'm getting on the years have flown somehow
And I feel that Fairy Snowdrop isn't wanted now

Chorus
Nobody loves a fairy when she's [forty] fifty
Nobody loves a fairy when she's old

She may still have a magic power but that is not enough
They like their bit of magic from a younger bit of stuff
When once your silver star has lost its glitter
And your tinsel looks like rust instead of gold
Fairy days are ending when your wand has started bending
No-one loves a fairy when she's old

For years I reigned in Fairy Dell
I waved my wand and waved it well
If I can't do all I did Im satisfied because
I'd sooner be a Has-Been than I would a Never Was

Nobody loves....
Nobody loves..

The face of this Immortal One to many has appealed
But gone is the illusion once you've had it soled and heeled
When you've lost your little fairy dimples
And the moth holes in your dress let in the cold
The Goblins and the Pixies turn their backs and say Hi Nixey
No one loves a fairy when she's old

Nobody loves.....
Nobody loves.....

As far as I can see they try to push you off the map
When once your wand has withered and your wings refuse to flap
When you can't cast a spell without it spilling
And a fairy tale for years you haven't told
You stand there shouting What O.. but they all pass by your Grotto
Nobody loves a fairy when she's old

Nobody loves.....
Nobody loves.....

They don't give you an earthly chance to make a livelihood
Theyre building council houses now in my enchanted wood
When you are past the age for Television
And the air you use is government controlled
It seems that they would sooner
Listen to a blinkin' crooner
Nobody loves a fairy when she's old

Nobody likes me
It's all my fault
Nobody likes me
Nobody likes me

Oh yes we all like you

Make me cry all the night

Tell me true, what can I do?

Way too late can't cant make up
All the late has built up
Ha ha ha ha aaah

Right we all like you
We like you a lot
We like all your family
We like your dog Spot
Even Spot?
Yes

Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out


Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out
Composer(s): James Cox
Performer(s): Bessie Smith;
and various other artists



Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spent all my money, I just did not care
Took all my friends out for a good time
Bought bootleg whisky, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go
I get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins

'Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have any

When you finally get back up on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend
Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out

When you finally get back upon your feet again
Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend
Said it's mighty strange
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you when you're down and out

Nobody Knows What I Am Thinking


Nobody Knows What I Am Thinking
Composer(s): Harry Hemsley
Performer(s): Harry Hemsley



To say exactly what I think
Dad says is impolite
Unless it's complimentary
That doesn't seem quite right
For when my aunt she starts to sing
You'd think she was in pain
And if I say "That's beautiful"
She starts to sing again

Nobody knows what I'm thinking
Every think that I think is my own
I guess I would get a good spanking
If the things that I think of were known
At home I've a new baby brother
He does nothing but gurgle and drink
They say he's an angel - and I say so too
But nobody knows what I think

Sometimes when we have visitors
There isn't half a scene
If I'm not extra tidy
And my hands are none too clean
My Daddy he gets vexed with me
But not until they've gone
He says he's quite ashamed of me
Because my clothes are torn

Nobody knows what I'm thinking
When sent to the bathroom to wash
I think lots of bad words, like "Dash it"
And "Blessed", and "Bother" and "Gosh"
Once I said "Rats", and my Daddy
He whacked me until I was sore
If he'd heard the bad words that I thinked of then
I bet he'd have whacked me some more

Nobody Knows (And Nobody Seems To Care)


Nobody Knows (And Nobody Seems To Care)
Composer(s): Irving Berlin



I'm sad and lonely
There's a good reason why
Nobody cares about me
That's why I'm sad as can be
I long for someone
Somebody, yes indeed
Lovin' kisses from one
Is exactly what I need

I'd love a sweetie
Hanging around the place
Someone to worry about
I'd never want to go out
My home is gloomy
Nobody's there that's why I feel "bride and groomy"
Can't you see it in my eye

Many's the time I feel so lonesome
But nobody knows
And nobody cares
I've grown so tired of being by "my own some"
I want somebody to hug
Cuddle and snug as comfy as a bug in the rug
Many's the time I feel like spooning
But nobody knows and nobody cares
I guess I'll make out a little "ad"
That I want some lovin so bad
'Cause nobody knows and nobody seems to care

Nobody Knows


Nobody Knows
Composer(s): Billy Squier
Performer(s): Billy Squier



I may get around...I may laugh alot...
Now you'd think that I'd be happy with the life I got
Nobody knows...nobody sees
Ain't nobody really knows the inner side o'me...

I may seem secure...I could have it made...
You might think you see a lucky man who made the grade
Nobody knows what dreams I see
Ain't nobody really sure just who they wanna be...

But everybody has a place and time...
A chance to live...a need to find
We all got somethin' that we care about
I propose you find it out...

It's not in a book...or a magazine...
Or the stars who guide our fortunes on the silver screen
Nobody knows...it's up to me
Ain't nobody who can say it like it outght to be...

I see my future at the rainbow's end
Happy hours...timeless friends
And if I ever chance to find my way
Rest assured...I will stay...

You may see your life as a compromise
You may live to find the promise dancin' in your eyes
Nobody knows...it's meant to be...
Let the magic of the moment say it all to me

Nobody I Know


Nobody I Know
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
Performer(s): The Beatles;
and various other artists



Nobody I know could love me more than you
You can give me so much love it seems untrue
Listen to the bird who sings it to the tree
And then when you've heard him see if you agree
Nobody I know could love you more than me

Everywhere I go the sun comes shinin' through
Everyone I know is sure it shines for you
Even in my dreams I look into your eyes
Suddenly it seems I've found a paradise
Everywhere I go the sun comes shinin' through

It means so much to be a part
Of a heart of a wonderful one
When other lovers are gone
We'll live on
We'll live on

Even in my dreams I look into your eyes
Suddenly it seems I've found a paradise
Everywhere I go the sun comes shinin' through

Nobody I know could love me more than you
You can give me so much love it seems untrue
Listen to the bird who sings it to the tree
And then when you've heard him see if you agree
Nobody I know could love you more than me
Nobody I know could love you more than me

Nobody Falls Like A Fool


Nobody Falls Like A Fool
Composer(s): Peter McCann; Mark Wright
Performer(s): Earl Thomas Conley



A heart isn't blind
It just sees what it wants to see
I hope yours is lookin' at mine
The way that you're lookin' at me
Well I've been around
I've taken chances before
But this time I'm hopin' for more
You're makin' it easy

Chorus:
Nobody falls like a fool
Nobody loves like a believe
After so many dreams have fallen through
It's time that one came true
Nobody falls like a fool
Nobody loves like a believer
And I'm fallin' 'cause I believe in you

I know you're afraid
Of the words we have spoken
There's been so many promises made
And so many broken
Oh but please don't hold back
I've already opened the door
And this time I'm hopin' for more
You're makin' it easy

(repeat chorus & fade)

Nobody Else In The World But You


Nobody Else In The World But You
Composer(s): Don Henley; Jai Winding; Stan Lynch
Performer(s): Don Henley



You live in a house of mirrors
Reflecting your splendid isolation
You have so much of everything
Except for true consideration
The way you dance
The way you walk
The way you drive
The way you talk
The way you eat
The way you drink
The way you act
The way that you don’t think

It’s like there’s
Nobody else in the world but you
Nobody else in the world
Nobody else in the world but you
In case you haven’t noticed
There’s lots of other people here, too

Hey now, did your momma teach you anything?
Some things still got to be respected
Is it a sign of the times, or is it just your callous heart?
How did you get so disconnected?

The way you push
The way you shove
The way you hate
The way you love
The lies you spin
The scenes you make
The grief you give
The space you take
It’s like there’s

Nobody else in the world but you
Nobody else in the world
Nobody else in the world but you
In case you haven’t noticed
There’s lots of other people here, too

And now it’s time you did a little giving, baby
The world is not your plaything, no, no, no

(Solo)

Nobody else in the world but you
Nobody else in the world
Nobody else in the world but you
In case you haven’t noticed
There’s lots of other people here

Nobody else in the world but you
Nobody else in the world
It’s like there’s nobody else in the world but you
In case you haven’t noticed there are lots of other people here, too

Nobody Else But Me


Nobody Else But Me
Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Jimmy Raney;
and various other artists



I want to be no one but me
I am in love with a lady who likes me the way I am
I have my faults, she likes my faults
I'm not very bright, she's not very bright

She thinks I'm grand, that's grand for me
She may be wrong but if we get along
"What do we care?", say we
Walking on the shore, swimming in the sea
When I am with her, I'm glad the boy who's with her
Is nobody else but me

She thinks I'm grand, that's grand for me
She may be wrong but if we get along
"What do we care?", say we

Walking on the shore, swimming in the sea
When I am with her, I'm glad the boy who's with her
Is nobody else but me
When I am with her, I'm glad the boy who's with her
Is nobody else but me

Nobody Does It Like Me


Nobody Does It Like Me
Composer(s): Cy Coleman; Dorothy Fields
Performer(s): Shirley Bassey;
Michele Lee; Martine McCutcheon



If there's a wrong way to do it
A wrong way to play it
Nobody does it like me
If there's a wrong way to do it

A right way to screw it up
Nobody does it like me
I've got a big loud mouth

I'm always talking much to free
If you go for tact and manners
Better stay away from me
If there's a wrong way to keep it cool
A right way to be a fool
Nobody does it like me
I hear a love song or ballad

I toss like a salad
Nobody tosses like me
And when my evenings get tougher

I just take two bufferin'
And drink a hot cup of tea
Last night I met an old acquaintance
At a fancy corner pub
He said: Come on, let's have some supper
So he used my credit-club
If there's a wrong way to take a guy
The worst way to make a guy
Nobody does it like me
If there's a wrong bell, I ring it

A wrong note, I sing it
Nobody does it like me
If there's a problem, I duck it

I don't solve it, I just muck it up
Nobody does it like me
As though I try to be a lady

I'm no lady, I'm a frog
And when I talk like I'm a lady
What I sound like is a frog
If there's a wrong way to get a guy
The right way to lose a guy
Nobody does it like me
Nobody does it

No, nobody does it
Nobody does it like me
Nobody does it like me

Nobody Does It Better


Nobody Does It Better
Composer(s): Marvin Hamlisch; Carol Bayer Sager
Performer(s): Carly Simon;
and various other artists



Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby you're the best

I wasn't looking
But somehow you found me
I tried to hide from your love light
But like heaven above me
The spy who loved me
Is keeping all my secrets safe tonight

And nobody does it better
Though sometimes I wish someone could
Nobody does it quite the way you do
Why d'you have to be so good?

The way that you hold me, whenever you hold me
There's some kind of magic inside you
That keeps me from running
But just keep it coming
How d'you learn to do the things you do?

And nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby baby
Baby you're the best...

Nobody Cares If I'm Blue


Nobody Cares If I'm Blue
Composer(s): Harry Akst; Grant Clarke
Performer(s): Leon Redbone - 1985;
and various other artists



Nobody knows, nobody cares if I'm lonesome
Nobody sighs, nobody cries if I'm blue

It seems that night after night
I sit alone and twiddle my thumbs
But still I keep right on hopin', keep the door open
But nobody comes

Ain't it a crime, kisses of mine are just wasted
Since I'm so blue, I'm singin' what'll I do, boo hoo
Like a plaything on the shelf, guess I'll have to be by myself
Nobody knows, nobody cares if I'm blue

Nobody knows, nobody cares if I'm lonesome
Nobody sighs, nobody cries if I'm blue

I sit at home constantly
My company is just the four walls
But still I keep right on hopin', keep the door open
But nobody calls

Ain't it a crime, kisses of mine are just wasted
Since I'm so blue, I'm singin' what'll I do
When it comes to happiness, guess I'll have to settle for less
Nobody knows, nobody cares if I'm blue

When it comes to happiness
Guess I'll have to settle for less
Nobody knows, nobody cares if I'm blue

Nobody (The Doobie Brothers)


Nobody
Composer(s): Tom Johnston
Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers



Evil ways of practice may surround you
callin' on your inner core of life
But your father was just a complex man of business
and your mother merely portioned out your fright
You're gonna run the risk of a sudden loss
you got no mama to bear your cross beside you
Uh-huh, uh-huh
As midnight angels shine their wings
and time begins just to build a wall all around you

Nobody, nobody gonna take my love away from me
Nobody, nobody gonna take my love away from me

Settin' out on a voyage down to Jenner
givin' all I've got to help the cause
Need a place just to settle out my pressures
a place where you and I can sit and pause
So I can see the sky at night
without a fear of a hidden light to blind me
Mm-mm
So you see the path is here
and changes will be swayed around me

Nobody, nobody gonna take my love away from me
Nobody, nobody gonna take my love away from me

Nobody, nobody gonna take my love away from me
Nobody, nobody gonna take my love away from me

Nobody (Sylvia)


Nobody
Composer(s): Kye Fleming; Dennis Morgan
Performer(s): Sylvia



Sittin' in a restaurant
She walked by
I seemed to recall
That certain look in your eye
I said, "Who's that?"
You said, with a smile
"Aah, it's nobody"
Aah, nobody

Maybe that explains the last two weeks
You called me up, dead on your feet
Working late again
I asked who with
You said, "Nobody"
Aah, nobody

Well your nobody called today
She hung up when I asked her name
Well, I wonder
Does she think she's being clever
(Clever, ooh, ooh)
You say nobody's after you
The fact is what you say is true
But I can love you like nobody can
Even better

Late last night we went for a drive
You were miles away
I asked, "Who's on your mind?"
You said, "Nobody, (nobody)
Why do you ask"
Oh, her again
I could've told you that

We came back home
Got ready for bed
I said to myself
I've got one shot left
Your still mine and I won't stand in line
Behind nobody
Nobody

Well, your nobody called today
She hung up when I asked her name
Well, I wonder does she think she's being clever
(Clever, ohh, ohh)
You say nobody's after you
The fact is what you say is true
But I can love you like nobody can
Even better

Well, your nobody called today
She hung up when I asked her name
Well, I wonder does she think she's being clever
(Clever, ohh, ohh)
You say nobody's after you
The fact is what you say is true
But I can love you like nobody can
Even better...

Nobody (Bert Williams)


Nobody
Composer(s): Alex Rogers; Bert Williams;
and various other artists



When life seems full of clouds and rain
And I am full of nothin' and pain
Who soothes my thumping, bumping brain, uummm?
Nobody!

When winter comes with snow and sleet
And me with hunger and cold feet
Who says, "Here's twenty-five cents, go ahead and get somethin' to eat, go on why doncha"?
Nobody!

I ain't never done nothin' to nobody
I ain't never done nothin' to nobody, no time
So until I get somethin' from somebody sometime
I'll never do nothin' for nobody, no time

When I was in that railroad wreck
And thought I'd cashed in my last check
Who took the engine off my neck?
Nobody!

One time when things was lookin' bright
I started to whittle on a stick one night
Who cried out, "Stop now, that's dynamite"?
Not a soul!

I ain't never done nothin' to nobody
I ain't never done nothin' to nobody, no time
So until I get something from somebody, sometime
I'll never do nothin' for nobody, no time

----------


As performed by Jimmy Dean:



When life seems full of clouds and rain
And I am filled with nought but pain
Who soothes my thumpin' bumpin' brain........ Nobody!

When winter comes with snow and sleet
And me with hunger and cold feet
Who says, "Here's two bits, go eat"........ Nobody!

I ain't never done nothin' to nobody
And I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time
And until I get somethin' from somebody sometime
I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time

When I'm tryin' hard and schemin' a plan
To do the very best I can
Who says, "Look at that handsome man"........ Nobody!

Well all day long things go amiss
And I go home to find some bliss
Who's waitin' there with a lovin' kiss........ Nobody!

I ain't never done nothin' to nobody
And I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time
And until I get somethin' from somebody sometime
I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time

No puede ser cobarde el que perdona
a un amor que es malo y traicionero
El amor es dolor cuando es sincero
vergüenza no es llorar, vergüenza no es llorar
porque te quiero

Toda mujer bonita será traidora
porque al hombre valiente lo hace cobarde

Por su traición el alma quise arrancarle
pero al tenerla cerca volví a besarle
porque también bonita, porque también bonita
era mi madre

Por su traición el alma quise arrancarle
pero al tenerla cerca volví a besarle
porque también bonita, porque también bonita

Noah (Harry Belafonte)


Noah
Composer(s): Harry Belafonte; Bill Attaway
Performer(s): Harry Belafonte



Brothers?
Yeah
Sisters?
Yeah
Says here in Genesis, one chapter one
In the beginning God made the earth
And also says here in Genesis, six chapter six
That the children of Israel were sinning, a sinning
What did I say? They were a sinning
That's exactly what I said
And when God saw them sinning
It hurt Him to his heart, it hurt Him so bad
It made Him mad, it made Him so mad he was angry
And when God got angry the sky turned dark
And it was than that he told Noah to build the ark
Who built the ark, Noah
Who built the ark, Noah
Who built the ark, Noah, Noah
Noah built that ark
Children stop to steel, listen to me
God walked down by the Briny sea
Beheld evil of the sinful men
Declared that he would destroy the land
Spoke to Noah Brother Noah stopped
He said look a here Noah build me an ark
Won't you build it big and strong
Build it 300 cubic long, 30 high, about 50 wide
I want it to stand my rain and tide
On this day I make my mark
In a 100 years I want that ark
Knocking thru with this evil land
Not a living thing is gonna stand
Except the things that I tell to you
That I gonna need , when the world is new
I've been east and I've been west
I decided to put this world at rest
I've been up and I've been down
Nothing but evil all around
I've seen brother turn against brother
Up this high and it'll go no further
Women weep and children mourn
Sorry the day that men was born
Sinful people one by one
Sorry the day my wrath begun
Sorry the day my wrath begun
Sorry the day my wrath begun
Sorry the day my wrath begun
'Cause it's gonna rain
'Cause it's gonna rain
'Cause it's gonna rain
'Cause it's gonna rain
And all this land is my land
Not a living thing is gonna stand
'Cause it's gonna rain
'Cause it's gonna rain
'Cause it's gonna rain
'Cause it's gonna rain

Who built the ark? Noah. Yeah
Who built the ark? Noah. Yeah
Who built the ark? Noah Noah
Noah built the ark
When after God told him what to do
Then the work began cut and hew
Ringing o´ the hammer was "judgment"
Ringing o´ the saw "God said repent"
100 years he hammered and sawed
Building the ark by the grace of God
After the foundation was laid
Hewed down the timber and the ark was made
Called in the animals two by two
There was the Ox, the Camel and the Kangaroo
Hallowed in the monkey and the crocodile
He even made the animals they couldn't smile
Packed them in the ark so tight
The Owl couldn't get no sleep at night
Called in Japheth and Shem and Ham
God began to flood the land
Raised his hand to heaven on high
And knocked that sun and the moon from the sky
Shook the mountains and disturbed the sea
Hitched his reins to his Chariot Wheel
Stepped on land and stood out on shore
Declared this time couldn't be no more
'Cause it's gonna rain
'Cause it’s gonna rain
'Cause it’s gonna rain
'Cause it’s gonna rain
