    Ding, Dong, Ding
    Composer(s): Robert Hargreaves - Stanley Damerell - Evans
    Performer(s): Billy Cotton & His Band



    A new version of the bells
    Yes, but not by Henry Irving

    Now listen laddie, I have a story

    Now we’ve been entreated to sing like the birds
    That tweet in the valleys and dells
    Ah! But let’s improve that, or in other words
    Let’s all try and sing like the bells

    Ding, dong, ding
    Chime in the chorus and sing, sing, sing
    Ding, dong, ding
    Clear as a bell let it ring, ring, ring
    Let all us musical people
    Sing like the bells in the steeple
    Ding, dong, ding
    Simply chime in the chorus and sing, sing, sing

    The bells
    Yes, here comes the bride
    Sweet thing
    Yers! And here comes her mother
    Dear old soul
    Ooh! And here come the bridegroom
    Poor blighter

    Hey, Abe, do you think that’s our fire they go to?
    Shut your face, you fool
    Our fire ain’t till Tuesday

    Hello, hello, darling wifey, I won’t be home till late this evening, spending an evening with a sick friend

    Alright, dear, don’t keep her out too late

    Let all us musical people
    Sing like the bells in the steeple
    Ding, dong, ding
    Simply chime in the chorus and sing, sing, sing

    The Parachute Jump
    Composer(s): Jerry Livingston - Mack David
    Performer(s): Dean Martin



    The parachute jump
    The parachute jump
    It's thrilling to do a dance that's new
    The parachute jump

    When the music begins to ride
    Then you begin to glide
    Bouncing from side to side
    The parachute jump

    You leap into space
    Smile on your face
    What'd you know, down there below
    The world is in place

    Hold it steady so you won't slip
    Attaboy, let 'er rip
    Then you begin to dip
    The parachute jump

    You dance and while you dance
    Angels are singing songs from high in the blue
    You dance, so high a dance
    Suddenly Heaven's doors are open to you

    You sway and as you sway
    All of your dreams, it seems, are comin' true
    You whirl into a spin, loving the spin you're in
    When you do, do, do
    The parachute jump
    The parachute jump
    You drop and you drop
    And pop, you stop and land with a bump

    If you really would like to fly
    Feel like a bird on high
    Take my advice and try
    The parachute jump
    The parachute jump
    (The parachute jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump)
    (Jump, Jump!)

    Dean Marin & Chorus:
    The parachute jump
    The parachute jump
    You wanta fly like a bird in the sky
    Then you'd better try
    The parachute jump

    Extra, extra, read all about it

    Gather round everybody
    Gonna tell you a story
    About a little feller
    He’s really very meller
    He sells the daily papers
    On Main Street, USA

    Now he’s cuttin’ capers
    Peddling his papers
    Spreads a lot of sunshine
    Day time or night time
    Brightens up the corner
    Of Main Street, USA

    Well-a extra, extras, read all about it
    Extra, extra, just sing and shout it
    A sharp-a little cat
    In a shoe button hat
    In his spare time he rocks and he rolls

    Shoutin’ with the rhythm
    Ya gotta get with ‘im
    Sandy hair and pug nose
    Turtle neck and torn clothes
    That’s the little paper boy
    On Main Street, USA

    Go, go, go, go, go

    Well-a extra, extras, read all about it
    Extra, extra, just sing and shout it
    A sharp-a little cat
    In a shoe button hat
    In his spare time he rocks and he rolls

    The Pale Faced Indian
    ((French Version: L'amie Des Esprits (Martin Circus) - 1975))
    Composer(s): John D. Loudermilk
    First release by: Marvin Rainwater - 1960
    Covered by multiple other artists



    They took away the whole Cherokee nation
    And put us on this reservation

    They took away our way of life
    Our tomahawk and huntin' knife
    And the old teepee we all loved so
    They're using now just for a show
    They put our papoose in a crib
    and took the buck skin from our rib
    And they took away our native tongue
    and taught their English to our young

    Hiya, hiya, ho! Hiya hi, hiya ho!
    Hiya, hiya, Hiya ho!

    Altho' they changed our ways of old
    They'll never change our heart and soul
    And tho' I wear a white man's tie
    I'll be a red man till I die

    All the beads we made by hand
    are nowadays made in Japan

    The Painless Dentist Song
    ((Adapted from: The Continental (Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers))
    Composer(s): Con Conrad - Herbert Magidson
    Performer(s): Allan Sherman



    Beautiful molars...
    Lovely bicuspids...
    I'm Dr. Prentice, the painless dentist
    By that what's meant is
    It really doesn't hurt
    This is Miss Klinger; you've met her finger
    So open wide, and Miss Klinger will squirt
    Well, well, I say there
    We've got decay there
    Can't let it stay there and cause you all that pain
    So please Miss Klinger, remove your finger
    And won't you hand me down my Novocaine
    It's far worse than I thought it was
    My charge is gonna be large
    Don't be unwilling
    It's just a filling
    I'm simply drilling to dig a little pit
    Don't fight Miss Klinger, or bite her finger
    And now while I change the drill you can spit
    I hum while you're bleeding
    It takes your mind off
    The things I grind off
    Your gums are receding
    You'll have to come back
    We'll build that gum back
    And now if you will open wide
    Miss Klinger's gonna put her whole darn fist inside
    That's it... now it's over
    They'll be a puffiness around your cheeks
    You'll have to eat soft food for three more weeks
    And if you'll kindly stop those ghastly shrieks
    I'm through
    Beautiful molars...
    Lovely bicuspids...
    By Dr. Prentice!

    The Owl And The Pussycat
    Composer(s): Edward Lear - Elton Hayes
    Performer(s): Elton Hayes



    The owl and the pussycat went to sea
    In a beautiful pea-green boat
    They took some honey and plenty of money
    Wrapped up in a five pound note

    The owl looked up to the stars above
    And sang to a small guitar
    "Oh, lovely pussy, oh pussy my love
    What a beautiful pussy you are, you are, you are
    What a beautiful pussy you are"

    Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl
    How charmingly sweet you sing!
    Oh! let us be married, too long we have tarried
    But what shall we do for a ring?"

    They sailed away, for a year and a day
    To the land where the Bong Tree grows
    And there in a wood, a piggy-wig stood
    With a ring at the end of his nose, his nose, his nose
    A ring at the end of his nose

    Said the owl, "Are you willing to sell for one shilling, your ring?"
    Said the piggy, "I will"
    So they took it away and were married next day
    By the turkey who lived on the hill

    They dined on quince— and slices of mince
    Served up with a runcible spoon
    And hand in hand, by the edge of the sand
    They danced by the light of the moon, the moon, the moon
    They danced by the light of the moon

    The Outlaw's Prayer
    Composer(s): Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton
    Performer(s): Johnny Paycheck



    You know, I worked the Big Packet show in Fort Worth, Saturday night
    We had all day Sunday to rest and relax, before I caught another flight
    So I decided to walk down town an' get myself a little fresh air
    Before long, I found myself in front of a big church on the corner of the square

    Boy, I could hear that singin' way out in the street, sure was a beautiful sound
    So I just walked up the steps an' opened the door an' started to go inside an' sit down
    But before I could, a young man walked over to me an said: "Excuse me, Sir
    "But I can't let you in with that big black hat, those jeans, that beard an' long hair

    So I just left, went back outside, sat down on that kerbing, an I thought to myself
    That's the house of the Lord. That guy's got the hell of a nerve
    Tellin' me I can't worship anywhere I please
    So right there, in front of that Church, I just knelt down on my knees

    I said: "Lord, I know I don't look like much, but I didn't think you'd mind
    "I just wanted to be with your people, Lord: it's been a long time
    "A while ago, a saw a wino over there in the alley, all bent over in tears
    "An' I thought how one stained glass window, from this Church, would feed his family for years"

    "Then there's those fine cars parked outside: too many for me to count
    "Made me think how people walked for days to hear your sermon on the mount
    "Then there's those fine ladies in the choir, Lord, singin' like they really love it
    "Hell, last night, they were dancin' on the front row of my show: drinkin' beer, screamin: 'Sing Shove It'

    "You know, even John the Baptist wouldn't be welcome in this place
    "With his coat made of Camel hair an' sandals on his feet an' a long beard on his face
    "You know, Lord, when you come back to get your children, an' take 'em beyond the clouds
    "To live forever in Heaven with you: well, I'd sure hate to be in this crowd

    "You know, Lord, I'm not perfect; some even call me no count
    "But I'll tell you: I believe a man is judged by what's in his heart, not what's in his bank account
    "So if this is what religion is: a big car, a suit an' a tie
    "Then I might as well forget it Lord, 'cause I can't qualify

    "Oh, by the way, Lord, right before they kicked me out, didn't I see a picture of you?
    "With sandals an' a beard. Believe you had long hair too"
    "Well, this is Paycheck, signing off
    "I'll be seein' you Lord, I hope"

    Composer(s): Gerard Kenny - Drey Shepperd - Barry Mason
    Performer(s): Gerard Kenny



    Oh what a tangled web we weave
    When we practise to deceive
    We play our games and tell our lies
    And synchronise our alibis

    They say forbidden fruit tastes sweeter
    It's precious and so rare
    It's heaven when you taste it
    And it's hell when it's not there
    I don't see you when I want to
    You only see me when you can
    'Cause you're the other woman
    And I'm the other man

    May be wrong, but it feels so right
    Lying here in the candle light
    A secret place for you and me
    And nowhere else we'd rather be

    They say forbidden fruit tastes sweeter
    It's precious and so rare
    It's heaven when you taste it
    And it's hell when it's not there
    I don't see you when I want to
    You only see me when you can
    'Cause you're the other woman
    And I'm the other man

    It's paradise but we pay the price
    'Cause ecstasy doesn't come free
    I don't see you when I want to
    And you only see me when you can
    'Cause you're the other woman
    And I'm the other...

    Oh what a tangled web we weave
    When we practise to deceive

    Composer(s): Richard Thompson - Gerry De Mol
    Performer(s): Eva De Roovere & Gerry De Mol - 2004



    Dit oude huis valt zowat in en alles slaapt
    Een wereldoorlog in mijn hoofd en maag
    Als alles om me heen valt, hou me vast
    Was je hier maar, bij het krieken van de dag

    Je hoort bij mij als de maan en het getij
    Kom bij mij, stop me in en blijf

    Wat blijft er van ons over, elk apart?
    Elk een kater, elk een gebroken hart
    Ik stuur alle vervangers weg vannacht
    Als je hier bent bij het krieken van de dag

    Valt de nacht, vlij je aan mijn zij
    Valt de nacht, blijf je dan bij mij?

    En zie ik je op straat en loop je door
    Waarom kijk je niet om en ga je voort?
    Het donker duurt vannacht maar half zo lang
    Als je hier bent bij het krieken van de dag

    Would you like to know a secret just between you and me
    I don't know where I'm going next, I don't know who I'm gonna be
    But that's the other side of this life I've been leading
    That's the other side of this life

    Well my whole world's in an uproar, my whole world's upside down
    I don"t know where I'm going next, but I'm always bumming around
    And that's another side to this life I've been leading
    And that's another side to this life

    Well I don't know what doing for half the time, I don't know where I'm going
    I think I'll get me a sailing boat and sail the Gulf of Mexico
    But that's another side of this life I've been leading
    And that's another side of this life

    Well I think I'll go to Nashville down in Tennesse

    The Other Side Of The World
    Performer(s): Chaka Khan



    A penny has two faces
    When one of them you have to choose
    Between the two places
    One must win and one must lose

    You say you have a sense of freedom
    Whenever you're away from here
    Put your hand on your heart and tell me
    That you never shed a tear

    Aw, what you doing babe
    On the other side of the world
    With all those fancy girls
    Never believe their hearts are stone
    They may warm your bed when you're alone
    But I can warm your heart and soul
    On the other side of the world

    Life is only snakes and ladders
    Sometimes up and sometimes down
    It doesn't really matter baby
    When you got love around

    Aw, but you won't find that lovin', no
    On the other side of the world
    With all those crazy girls
    Never believe their hearts are stone
    They may warm your bed when you're alone
    But I can warm your heart and soul
    On the other side of the world

    I'll be waitin' for you
    Never believe their hearts are stone
    They may warm your bed when you're alone
    But I can warm your heart and soul
    On the other side of the world
    On the other side of the world
    On the other side of the world
    On the other side of the world

    The Other Side Of The Cross
    Performer(s): The Statler Brothers



    There were tears in the eyes of Jesus
    There were nails in the palms of His hands
    There were thorns in His brow
    And only God could know how
    Much pain He could withstand

    There was blood all around the hillside
    As a Mother mourned her loss
    But we all stood to gain
    From the Heavenly pain
    On other side of the Cross

    On the other side of the Cross
    The side that no one could see
    Hung the spirit of things yet to come
    On the future of you and me

    And what he gave that day on the Cross
    Not one bit of love has been lost
    Hold my hand stand up and say
    If you were there on that day
    On the other side of the cross

    On the other side of the cross
    The side that no one can see
    Hung the spirit of things yet to come
    On the future of you and me

    And what he gave that day on the Cross
    Not one bit of love has been lost
    Hold my hand stand up and say
    If you were there on that day
    On the other side of the cross

    Hold my hand stand up and say
    If you were there on that day

    Other Man's Grass Is Always Greener
    Composer(s): Tony Hatch - Jackie Trent
    Performer(s): Petula Clark
    and multiple other artists



    Life is never what it seems
    We're always searching in our dreams
    To find that little castle in the air
    When worry starts to cloud the mind
    It's hard to leave it all behind
    And just pretend you haven't got a care

    There's someone else in your imagination
    You wish that you were standing in their shoes
    You'd change your life without much hesitation
    But would you if you really had to choose?

    So, don't look around
    Get your feet on the ground
    It's much better by far
    To be just who you are

    The other man's grass is always greener
    The sun shines brighter on the other side
    The other man's grass is always greener
    Some are lucky, some are not
    But just be thankful for what you've got

    Many times, it seems to me
    There's someone else I'd rather be
    Living in a world of make-believe
    To stay in bed 'til nearly three
    With nothing there to worry me
    Would seem to be the life I might achieve

    But deep inside, I know I'm really lucky
    With happiness I've never known before
    And just as long as you are there beside me
    I know that I could ask for nothing more

    Then living can start
    With the love in your heart
    So, with you all the time
    All the treasures I've longed for are mine

    The other man's grass is always greener
    The sun shines brighter on the other side
    The other man's grass is always greener
    Some are lucky, some are not
    But I'm so thankful for what I've got
    (repeat)

    The Other Guy
    Composer(s): Graham Goble
    Performer(s): Little River Band



    I found out that you care for another guy
    I found out that you want for another smile
    We are alone as two different people can be
    And it's hurting me so
    Just to know that you don't care for me

    The other guy won't be around to talk to our kids
    He won't understand when you're down the way that I did
    We had it all, you and I, we just need to try again

    I found out that your heart's with another guy
    You found out that you're tellin' another lie
    We've grown apart and goin' our own separate ways
    And you don't understand
    Why I love you and want you to stay

    The other guy won't be around to talk to our kids
    He won't understand when you're down the way that I did
    We had it all, you and I, we just need to try again

    You don't know it's me that you need
    You're thinking of him and I can't compete
    But I'm here to say I still want you back again

    The other guy won't be around to talk to our kids
    He won't understand when you're down the way that I did
    We had it all, you and I, we just need to try again

    The other guy won't be around to talk to our kids
    He won't understand when you're down the way that I did
    We had it all, you and I, we just need to try again

    The other guy won't be around to talk to our kids
    He won't understand when you're down the way that I did
    We had it all, you and I, we just need to try again

    The Ostrich
    Composer(s): John Kay
    Performer(s): Steppenwolf



    We'll call you when you're six years old
    And drag you to the factory
    To train your brain for eighteen years
    With promise of security
    But then you're free
    And forty years you waste to chase the dollar sign
    So you may die in Florida
    At the pleasant age of sixty nine

    The water's getting hard to drink
    We've mangled up the country side
    The air will choke you when you breathe
    We're all committing suicide
    But it's alright
    It's progress folks keep pushin' till your body rots
    Will strip the earth of all it's green
    And then divide her into parking lots

    But there's nothing you and I can do
    You and I are only two
    What's right and wrong is hard to say
    Forget about it for today
    We'll stick our heads into the sand
    Just pretend that all is grand
    Then hope that everything turns out ok

    You're free to speak your mind my friend
    As long as you agree with me
    Don't criticize the father land
    Or those who shape your destiny
    'Cause if you do
    You'll lose your job your mind and all the friends you knew
    We'll send out all our boys in blue
    They'll find a way to silence you

    But there's nothing you and I can do
    You and I are only two
    What's right and wrong is hard to say
    Forget about it for today
    We'll stick our heads into the sand
    Just pretend that all is grand
    Then hope that everything turns out ok

    The Organ, The Monkey And Me
    Composer(s): Jack Lesoire - Harry F. Clarkson - Geoffrey Clarkson
    Performer(s): Sam Browne



    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

    Ciri-biri-beeeeeee
    For a penny we'll play all your troubles away
    Ciri-bee
    Come and sing ciri-bee
    With the organ, the monkey and me

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

    Hey Jocko, where's the mon?
    The mon you hide from me
    You little son-o-ma-gun
    I'll send you back to Italy

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

    We play the melody Pagliacci
    And a La Donna e Mobile
    The kids don't want our Pagliacci
    They want ha-cha-cha and hi-dee-hay

    We never play that way
    We play a song of love
    A happy song of love
    A melody of yesterday

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

    When we come to the end of the day
    And the organ is laid away
    The monkey and me, we lie down to sleep
    And I dream of Marie, my baby
    She is waiting across the sea
    Once again in her arms I'll be
    When I go back to Napoli

    Ciri-biri-bee
    For a penny we'll play all your troubles away
    Ciri-bee
    Come and sing cirri-bee
    with the organ, the monkey and me

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

    Orange And The Green
    Composer(s): A. Murphy
    Performer(s): The Irish Rovers



    Oh, it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
    My father, he was Orange and me mother, she was green

    My father was an Ulster man, proud Protestant was he
    My mother was a Catholic girl, from county Cork was she
    They were married in two churches, lived happily enough
    Until the day that I was born and things got rather tough

    Oh, it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
    My father, he was Orange and me mother, she was green

    Baptized by Father Riley, I was rushed away by car
    To be made a little Orangeman, my father's shining star
    I was christened "David Anthony," but still, inspite of that
    To me father, I was William, while my mother called me Pat

    Oh, it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
    My father, he was Orange and me mother, she was green

    With Mother every Sunday, to Mass I'd proudly stroll
    Then after that, the Orange lodge would try to save my soul
    For both sides tried to claim me, but i was smart because
    I'd play the flute or play the harp, depending where I was

    Oh, it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
    My father, he was Orange and me mother, she was green

    One day me Ma's relations came round to visit me
    Just as my father's kinfolk were all sitting down to tea
    We tried to smooth things over, but they all began to fight
    And me, being strictly neutral, I bashed everyone in sight

    Oh, it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
    My father, he was Orange and me mother, she was green

    Now my parents never could agree about my type of school
    My learning was all done at home, that's why I'm such a fool
    They've both passed on, God rest 'em, but left me caught between
    That awful color problem of the Orange and the Green

    Oh, it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
    My father, he was Orange and me mother, she was green
    Yes, it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
    My father, he was Orange and me mother, she was green

    The Only Living Boy In New York
    ((Italian Version: L'unico Che Sta A New York (Bruno Lauzi) - 1973))
    Composer(s): Paul Simon
    First release by: Simon and Garfunkel - 1970
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Tom, get your plane right on time
    I know your part will go fine
    Fly down to Mexico
    Do-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-da-da and here I am
    The only living boy in New York

    I get the news I need from the weather report
    I can gather all the news I need from the weather report
    Hey, I've got nothing to do to-day but smile
    Do-n-da-da-n-da-n-da-da-n here I am
    The only living boy in New York

    Half of the time we're gone, but we don't know
    Where, and we don't know where

    Ah....
    Here I am

    Tom, get your plane right on time
    I know that you've been eager to fly now
    Hey, let your honesty shine, shine, shine now
    Do-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-do like it shines on me
    The only living boy in New York
    The only living boy in New York

    You're The Only Light On My Horizon Now
    Composer(s): Stephens - Macauley
    Performer(s): Sha Na Na



    The footlights and the curtain calls
    The way she spoke the lines
    As though she meant them just for me
    It fooled me every time
    Now I'm forgotten for another stage door clown
    I wish I hadn't left you, I wish I hadn't left you
    Now I'm on the road alone and homeward bound

    You're the only light still shining on my horizon now
    Shine on, shine on
    You're the only silver lining in the grey cloud all around
    Shine on, shine on
    You light the way ahead
    The road I tread is getting hard to climb
    I only hope I reach that light in time
    You're a lonely cello playing
    In the silence all around
    You're the only light on my horizon now

    The diamonds and the Dior gowns
    The rose at every door
    The ritzy restaurants uptown was what she took me for
    No more than a two-bit player in her masquerade
    I wish I hadn't left you, I wish I hadn't left you
    Though in your eyes I fit the part I play

    You're the only light still shining on my horizon now
    Shine on, shine on
    You're the only silver lining in the grey cloud all around
    Shine on, shine on
    You light the way ahead
    The road I tread is getting hard to climb
    I only hope I reach that light in time
    You're a lonely cello playing
    In the silence all around
    You're the only light on my horizon now

    Yes, you're the only light on my horizon now
