There's A Honky-Tonk Angel (Who'll Take Me Back In)


There's A Honky-Tonk Angel (Who'll Take Me Back In)
Composer(s): Troy Seals - Denny Rice
Performer(s): Conway Twitty
and multiple other artists



When was the last time you kissed me
And I don't mean a touch now and then
It's been a long time since you felt like my woman
And even longer since I felt like your man

So tell me if you think it's over
And I'll leave it up to you how it ends
'Cause if you don't want the love I can give you
Well there's a honky tonk angel who will take me back in

You never look at me and say "I love you"
How much more do you think I can stand
Oh, there's an old friend out there and she's waiting
Lord, she's happy just holding my hand

So tell me if you think it's over
And I'll leave it up to you how it ends
'Cause if you don't want the love I can give you
Well there's a honky tonk angel who will take me back in
Yes, there's a honky tonk angel who will take me back in

Copa De Vino


Copa De Vino
Composer(s): Luis Demetrio
Performer(s): Javier Solís



Alcé mi copa de vino para brindar por tu muerte
porque es la única forma que puede mi alma dejar de quererte
Alcé mi copa de vino para brindar por tu ausencia
para pedirle a mi sino no volver a verte
más por mi camino

Contigo sólo el sufrimiento conocí
y felicidad nunca compartí
Y, sin embargo, yo de ti me enamoré
pues llegué a creer en la mentira de tu amor

Alcé mi copa de vino para brindar por tu muerte
porque es la única forma que puede mi alma dejar de quererte

Contigo sólo el sufrimiento conocí
y felicidad nunca compartí
Y, sin embargo, yo de ti me enamoré
pues llegué a creer en la mentira de tu amor

Alcé mi copa de vino para brindar por tu muerte
porque es la única forma que puede mi alma dejar de quererte

Rumpelstiltskin


Rumpelstiltskin
Performer(s): John Otway



You come over prim and pert
Acting like an introvert
You treat me like a jerk
You made me do all the work
You're just a bog flirt
Pretty girl in ya skirt
Rub My face in the dirt
Why don't You

Just Gi's the baby
Gi's the baby
Rumpelstiltskin Rumpelstiltskin
Just Gi's the baby
Gi's the baby
Rumpelstiltskin Rumpelstiltskin
Just Gi's the baby

Questionable morality
You think you married royalty
You've got no grip on reality
You think it's your destiny
Empresses new clothes
No ribbons no bows
You shouldn't have done what you did to me so
Come on Come on

Just Gi's the baby
Gi's the baby
Rumpelstiltskin Rumpelstiltskin
Gi's the baby
Gi's the baby
Rumpelstiltskin Rumpelstiltskin
Just Gi's the baby

You think happily ever after
You think you've been really clever
Your just a bad loser
We did all this together
You're just a crap weaver
Can't spin gold can't spin silver
You'd have been stuck in there forever

You think it's a little game
Come on come on guess my name
You think it's a bad dream
You don't want to cause a scene
You're just a cheapskate
You made a bad mistake
You know exactly what you owe me so
Come on Come on

Just Gi's the baby
Gi's the baby
Rumpelstiltskin Rumpelstiltskin
Gi's the baby
Gi's the baby
Rumpelstiltskin Rumpelstiltskin
Just Gi's the baby

There's A Home In Wyoming


There's A Home In Wyoming
Composer(s): Billy Hill - Peter De Rose
Performer(s): Mary Small
and multiple other artists



Pale moon, carry me away
To the rolling plains tonight
Pale moon, please don't let me stray
Show me the wrong from the right

I'm so lonely when the sun goes down
Lonely for my little prairie town
West wind, take my little song
To the one I love the best

West wind, say I won't be long
Soon I'll be out in the West
When the purple turns to gold back home
Then I'll settle down, no more to roam

There's a home in Wyomin'
Far across the Great Divide
Skies are brighter, hearts are lighter
And the door is open wide

There's a girl in Wyomin'
'Neath the prairie stars that shine
Let me wander `way out yonder
To that old sweetheart of mine

Through the purple sage once more
We'll ride, ride, ride
Down the sunset trail together
Side by side

All alone in the gloamin'
We will plan a nest for two
Just a home in old Wyomin'
In the land where dreams come true

Cootamundra Wattle


Cootamundra Wattle
Composer(s): John Williamson
Performer(s): John Williamson



Don't go lookin' through that old camphor box woman
You know those old things only make you cry
When you dream upon that little bunny rug
It makes you think that life has passed you by
There are days when you wish the world would stop woman
But then you know some wounds would never heal
But when I browse the early pages of the children
It's then I know exactly how you feel

Hey it's July and the winter sun is shining
And the Cootamundra wattle is my friend
For all at once my childhood never left me
'Cause wattle blossoms bring it back again

It's Sunday and you should stop the worry woman
Come out here and sit down in the sun
Can't you hear the magpies in the distance?
Don't you feel the new day has begun?
Can't you hear the bees making honey woman
In the spotted gums where the bellbirds ring?
You might grow old and bitter 'cause you missed it
You know some people never hear such things

Hey it's July and the winter sun is shining
And the Cootamundra wattle is my friend
For all at once my childhood never left me
'Cause wattle blossoms bring it back again

Don't buy the daily papers any more woman
Read all about what's going on in hell
They don't care to tell the world of kindness
Good news never made a paper sell
There's all the colours of the rainbow in the garden woman
And symphonies of music in the sky
Heaven's all around us if you're looking
But how can you see it if you cry

Hey it's July and the winter sun is shining
And the Cootamundra wattle is my friend
For all at once my childhood never left me
'Cause wattle blossoms bring it back again

Rumors Are Flying


Rumors Are Flying
Composer(s): Bennie Benjamin; George David Weiss
Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters;
and various other artists



Rumors are flying
That you've got me sighing
That I'm in a crazy kind of a daze
A lazy sort of a haze
When I go walking
I hear people talking
They say our affair is not just a passing phase

And they whisper 'bout the flowers
You keep sending me by the dozen
And they wonder 'bout the hours
That you spend with me, it keeps them buzzin'

Rumors are flying
And I'm not denying
That people are sure I'm falling in love with you
'Cause for a change, darling
All the rumors are true

And they whisper all about the flowers
The many little flowers you keep sending me by the dozen
And they wonder all about the hours
That you spend with your baby, what do you do-do-do
That keeps 'em buzzin' all the time, all the time

Rumors are flying
And I'm not denying
That people are sure I'm falling in love with you
'Cause for a change, darling
All the rumors are true

There's A Girl In Havana


There's A Girl In Havana
Composer(s): Irving Berlin - E. Ray Goetz - A. Baldwin Sloan



I'm in love with you, but I'll admit, I've told the same tale o'er
To a lot of girls, but I'll admit, 'twas never meant before
Like every boy, I've loved a few, 'tis true
But never with a love I feel for you
So I think for future happiness
My past I should confess

If a fellow says he loves you, and he's never said the same
To another girl, if you believe him, you're the one to blame
When love is true each thought you would confide
When love is true there's naught that you could hide
So to prove my love is not a-miss
Is why I tell you this

There's a girl in Havana
There's a girl in Savannah
I've wooed a few sweet girlies who I promised to be true to
But then I never knew, dear
That I'd ever meet you, dear
So let's forget the girls I met
Before I met you

Cooper's Lament


Cooper's Lament
Composer(s): Arlo Guthrie
Performer(s): Arlo Guthrie



Hey brothers, hear me call
It ain't that I had to fall
Wasn't no one's fault last night
When I looked up and felt the light

Here's hoping you'll understand
I want to fell like a natural man
Get up early in the morning to do what I can
You can't help no one with money
If you can't with your hands

And you got to be there brothers, yes you do
If the world is turning under you
Ain't no good to sit around
And bring it up or down
You got to be there brothers, yes you do

Hey brothers, now and then
There's something that oughta move you
More than a pen
You don't need no school or knowledge
You've got something else to lend
And all the people in the world
Can make it better again

And it ain't easy, yes I know
It's a hard and rugged road
Don't be swindled, don't be fooled
Just be honest and stay cool

'Cause you got to be there brothers, yes you do
If the world is turning under you
Ain't no good to sit around
And bring it up or down
You got to be there brothers, yes you do

There's a forest no one uses
Where the wrecks are growing flowers

Bright scarves they wear

Bright rains they wear

Cool Yule


Cool Yule
Performer(s): Louis Armstrong



From Coney Island to The Sunset Strip
Somebody's gonna make a happy trip
Tonight, while the moon is bright

He's gonna have a bag of crazy toys
To give the groanies of the boys and girls
So dig, Santa comes on big

He'll come a callin' when the snows the most
When all you cats are sleepin' warm as toast
And you gonna flip when Old Saint Nick
Takes a lick on the peppernint stick

He'll come a flyin' from a higher place
And fill the stocking by the fire place
So you'll, have a yule that's cool

When all you cats are sleepin' warm as toast
And you gonna flip when the Old Saint Nick
Takes a lick on the peppermint stick

He'll come a flyin' from a higher place
And fill the stocking by the fire place
So you'll, have a yule that's cool

Have a yule that's cool
Yeah, cool yule

Rumbo Perdido


Rumbo Perdido
Composer(s): Mario Alvarez
Performer(s): Javier Solis;
and various other artists



Sé que te vas con un rumbo perdido
ave fugaz que abandonas el nido
ya no tendrás el calor de mis besos
nunca podrás encontrar un cariño mejor

Algo quizá te hablará de un olvido
y has de querer retornar a mi nido
Ya no podrás encontrar un recuerdo
no, porque mi amor como tú ya su rumbo perdió

Sé que te vas con un rumbo perdido
ave fugaz que abandonas el nido
ya no tendrás el calor de mis besos
nunca podrás encontrar un cariño mejor

Algo quizá te hablará de un olvido
y has de querer retornar a mi nido
Ya no podrás encontrar un recuerdo
no, porque mi amor como tú ya su rumbo perdió

There's A Fly On My Music


There's A Fly On My Music
Composer(s): Lew Brown - Sammy Fain - Ralph Freed
Performer(s): Spike Jones & his City Slickers



Larry Keating:
Del, old boy, what's the matter?
Well listen, you know, I gave you a marvellous introduction
I built you up as a virtuoso
This is really very embarrassing, Del

Del Porter:
Pardon me, Mr. Keating
For playing' away off key
I've sounded sour for over an hour
But don't put the blame on me

`Cos, there's a fly on my music
Looks just like a note
He's in my way an' I can't play
The song the feller wrote

Oh, swat, boys, swat boys swat
Swat boys, swat `im boys, swat

There's a fly on my music
Got me playin' flat
He moves around and makes me sound
Like Mrs. Murphy's cat

Oh shoo fly
Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo fly
Shoo fly, shoo fly, shoo

Buzz, buzz, here he is
Buzz, buzz, buzz, there he is
Here he is, there he is
Now I don't know where he is

There he goes from my music
What a break for me
But start to smack he's comin' back
With his whole darn family

Oh swat boys, swat `im boys, swat
Swat boys, swat boys swat

Shoo fly, there he is
Buzz, buzz, buzz there he is
Here he is, there he is
Now I don't know where he is

There he goes from my music
What a break for me
But start to smack, he's comin' back
With his whole darn family

Oh, swat boys, swat `im boys, swat
Swat boys, oh swat boys, swat

Cool Water


Cool Water
Composer(s): Bob Nolan
Performer(s): Dude Martin - 1936
Covered by multiple other artists



All day I've faced the barren waste
Without the taste of water, cool water
Old Dan and I with throats burned dry
And souls that cry for water, cool, clear water

Keep a-movin', Dan, don't you listen to him, Dan
He's a devil not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water
Dan can you see that big green tree
Where the water's runnin' free
And it's waiting there for you and me

The nights are cool and I'm a fool
Each star's a pool of water, cool water
But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn
And carry on to water, cool, clear, water

The shadows sway and seem to say
Tonight we pray for water, cool, water
And way up there He'll hear our prayer
And show us where there's water, cool, clear, water

Dan's feet are sore he's yearning for
Just one thing more than water, cool, water
Like me I guess he'd like to rest
Where there's no quest for water, cool, clear, water

There's A Fellow Waiting In Poughkeepsie


There's A Fellow Waiting In Poughkeepsie
Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Bing Crosby & The Andrews Sisters



There's a feller waitin' in Ploughkeepsie
And he's just as sweet as sweet can be
He hasn't even been tipsy
Since I left him and took to the sea
There's another waitin' in Pomona
With the cutest dimple in his chin
And there's a guy in Daytona
Who just waits for my ship to come in
I miss `em, honour bright
I write `em every night
But if you held my hand
I suppose they would all understand
Oh, you mustn't think I'm just a gypsy
But I really ought to set you right
There's a feller waitin' in Ploughkeepsie
But I'm strictly on my own tonight

(Bing)
There's a wave who's waitin' in Biloxi
Says she's gonna marry me or bust
We're bein' married by proxy
When I find me a wolf I can trust
There's a spar who's waiting in Waukegan
Who is really different from the rest
I think her last name is Reagan
That's the name that's tattooed on my chest
A whack in Hackensack
A walk from Pontiac
I got `em here and there
What the heck, chicks are chicks anywhere
Some of them are kinda bobby-soxsy
But it might be quite a lengthy fight
There's a wave who's waitin in Biloxi
But I'm strictly on my own tonight

(All)
There's a sweetheart in Ploughkeepsie

(A.S.)
Just as sweet as sweet can be, you see

(All)
He hasn't even been tipsy
Since I left him and took to the sea
Oh, you mustn't think we're gypsies

(A.S.)
But we really ought to set you right

(Bing)
Well tell it tonight

(All)
There's a feller and a girl witin' in Ploughkeepsie

(A.S.)
But I'm strictly on my own

(Bing)
Yes I'm strictly on my own

(All)
Oh we're strictly on our own tonight

Cool Touch


Cool Touch
Composer(s): Alan Tarney; Leo Sayer
Performer(s): Leo Sayer



Hanging out with the night-time clientele
Place your ladder for the social climb
Same old routine that you know so well
Another opening and another line
It’s the cool touch
Yeah, the cool touch

Call your lover on the mobile phone
C’mon over we’ll have some fun
Leave a message sayin’ there’s no one home
I guess the good times just begun
It’s the cool touch
Yeah, the cool touch

Cool touch, too much, it’s too much
Too much, cool touch, or not enough
Cool touch, too much, too much
Too much, cool touch, it’s not enough
Take me take me to the sky above
Fool me, fool me with your words of love
Cool touch, too much

Now she’s reclining in the back of the sports car
Champagne and glasses, he slips right in
No passing stranger could’ve torn them two apart
Some games you play and you just can’t help but win
The cool touch
Yeah, the cool touch

Cool touch, too much, it’s too much
Too much, cool touch, it’s not enough
Cool touch, too much, too much
Too much, cool touch, it’s not enough
Take me take me to the sky above
Fool me fool me with these words of love
Cool touch, too much

A wind is blowing through this get rich town
She wraps the fur round her pretty waist
He feels a shiver as he grips the wheel
Feeling strangely out of place
Cool touch, too much, it’s too much
Too much, cool touch, maybe not enough
Cool touch, too much, too much
Too much, cool touch, it’s not enough

Bring me bring me someone I can trust
All this glitter’s just a bag of dust
Cool touch, too much, it’s too much
Too much, cool touch, it’s not enough
I had enough of this cool touch
Kids stuff, but I can’t get enough
Cool touch, too much, too much
Too much, cool touch, it’s not enough

Rum And Coca-Cola


Rum And Coca-Cola
Composer(s): Morey Amsterdam;
Jeri Sullavan; Paul Baron
Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters



If you ever go down Trinidad
They make you feel so very glad
Calypso sing and make up rhyme
Guarantee you one real good fine time

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Oh, beat it man, beat it

Since the Yankee come to Trinidad
They got the young girls all goin' mad
Young girls say they treat 'em nice
Make Trinidad like paradise

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Oh, you vex me, you vex me

From Chicachicaree to Mona's Isle
Native girls all dance and smile
Help soldier celebrate his leave
Make every day like New Year's Eve

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar

It's a fact, man, it's a fact

In old Trinidad, I also fear
The situation is mighty queer
Like the Yankee girl, the native swoon
When she hear der Bingo croon

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Out on Manzanella Beach
G.I. romance with native peach
All night long, make tropic love
Next day, sit in hot sun and cool off

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar

It's a fact, man, it's a fact

Rum and Coca-Cola
Rum and Coca-Cola
Workin' for the Yankee dollar

There's A Coach Comin' In


There's A Coach Comin' In
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe
Performer(s): Harve Presnell



There's a coach comin' in!
There's a coach comin' in!
Comin in!
Comin in!
Comin in!
Comin in!
Comin in!

There's a coach comin' in
If you listen you can hear
A clip, up and over the hill
And the sound that you hear
Is as good to your ear
As the call of a wild whippoorwill

There's a coach comin' in
You can feel it gettin' near
All at once, and it bursts into veiw
And it looks to your eye
Like it fell from the sky
Like a coach full of dreams come true

For it's bringin' me eyes that are moonlight
And it's carryin' lips that are wine (kiss sound)
And it's comin' with arms that are pillows
And this evening it all will be mine

There's a coach comin' in
Can you smell it like a steer?
Yet the soap tub remains far away
From the socks from your feet
From the socks from your feet
Rake your hair till it's neat
Rake your hair till it's neat
There's a coach comin' in
There's a coach comin' in today!

There's a coach comin' in
Hurry! Hurry! Do ya hear?
With a cargo of joy from Paree
Drop the tables and chairs
Get them beds up the stairs
And be sure every lock has a key

For it's coming with girls who buy perfume
Who wear powder and rouge from Paree
Who will have to go somewhere to get them
And that somewhere to go, will be me

There's a coach comin' in
And it's flyin' like a deer
Thank the Lord, there's relief on the way
Packed with all of your hearts
Packed with all of your hearts
More than half dozen tarts
More than half dozen tarts
There's a coach comin' in
There's a coach comin in today!

There's a coach comin' in
If you listen you can hear it
A clip, up and over the hill
And the sound that you hear
Is as good
As the call of the wild whippoorwill

For it's bringin' me eyes that are moonlight
And it's carryin' lips that are wine
It's comin' with arms that are pillows
And this evening it all will be mine

There's a coach comin' in
If you listen you can hear it
A clip, up and over the hill
And the sound that you hear
Is as good to your ear
As the call of the wild whippoorwill

There's a coach comin' in
You can feel it gettin' near
All at once, and it bursts into veiw
And it looks to your eye
Like it fell from the sky
Like a coach full of dreams come true

For it's bringin' me eyes that are moonlight
And it's carryin' lips that are wine
And it's comin' with arms that are pillows
And this evening it all will be mine

There's a coach comin' in
Now it's flyin' in the clear
And the sun almost closes the day
Now there ain't pots of gold
Now they're all livin' gold
There's a coach comin' in
There's a coach comin' in
And it's here!

Cool The Engines


Cool The Engines
Composer(s): Brad Delp; Tom Scholz; Fran Sheehan
Performer(s): Boston



Now I like takin' off
Don't like burnin' out
Every time you turn it on
Makes me want to shout
We keep getting hotter
Movin' way too fast
If we don't slow this fire down
We're not gonna last

Cool the engines
Red line's gettin' near
Cool the engines
Better take it out of gear

I'm no fool
I'm gonna keep it cool
and take it day by day
We won't know where we might go
'Till we take it all the way

Take me for a ride
Take me all the way
Take me where I've never been
Someplace I can stay
Don't get yourself too hot
Don't get yourself too high
If we don't take it easy now
We can kiss it all goodbye

Cool the engines
Slow this rocket down
Cool the engines
Why don't ya take a look around

I'm no fool, gonna keep it cool
Take it day by day
We won't know where we might go
'Till we take it all the way

Cool the engines
Cool the engines
Goin' over the line
Goin' off the dial
Runnin' out of time
And it's gettin' wild

Got flashin' lights
Goin' 'round and 'round
Until we get it right
Better cool it down
Better cool it down

Cool the engines

And now we're on our way
No need to hurry just to get from day to day
And I, oooh, I know
We don't have to run that hard to get where we can go

Cool the engines

Cool the engines down

Cool the engines

Cool the engines down
