They'll Make You Cry


They'll Make You Cry
Composer(s): Ron Elliott
Performer(s): The Beau Brummels



Oh Oh Oh Oh
I can't say, yes I know
You know I hate to go
But goodbye, love was sweet
I was kind never meet

I'll cry just a little, 'cause I love you so
I'll die just a little, 'cause I have to go away

Can't you see, how I feel
When I say love's unreal
So goodbye, love was sweet
Eventhough incomplete

I'll cry just a little, 'cause I love you so
I'll die just a little, 'cause I have to go away

Every night
I still hear
Oh your sighs very clear
Now love's gone
Gone away
As I once heard you say

I'll cry just a little, 'cause I love you so
I'll die just a little, 'cause I have to go away

They Were Only Playing Leapfrog


They Were Only Playing Leapfrog



One staff officer jumped right over another staff officer's back And another staff officer jumped right over that other staff officer's back A third staff officer jumped right over two other staff officers' backs And a fourth staff officer jumped right over all the other staff officers' backs They were only playing leapfrog They were only playing leapfrog They were only playing leapfrog When one staff officer jumped right over another staff officer's back

Walked in Line


Walked in Line
Composer(s): Bernard Sumner - Peter Hook - Stephen Morris - Ian Curtis
First release by: Joy Division - 1981
Covered by multiple other artists



All dressed in uniforms so fine
They drank and killed to pass the time
Wearing the shame of all their crimes
With measured steps they walked in line
They walked in line

They carried pictures of their wives
And numbered tags to prove their lies
And made it through the whole machine
With dirty hearts and hands washed clean
They walked in line

Full of a glory never seen
They made it through the whole machine
To never question any more
Hypnotic trance - they never saw
They walked in line -- They walked in line

They Should Have Given You The Oscar


They Should Have Given You The Oscar
Composer(s): Gerry Goffin - Carole King
Performer(s): James Darren



I'd like to contest the awards given out by the academy
'Cause I know of a great performance that the judges didn't see

They should have given you the oscar
For the way you went and broke my heart
There's no name that you could mention
Who'd have done quite as much with a part

And just for the way you said you loved me
And the way you made each lie sound sincere
Oh, they should have given you the oscar
For the best performance of the year

If the critics could have seen
Your acting on the screen
I'm sure they would have cried as much as I
You knew your lines so well
How was I supposed to tell
That all along you loved another guy?

They should have given you the oscar
For the scene where you promised to be true
Every word was so convincing
Any audience would fall in love with you

And just for the way you said you loved me
And the way you made each lie sound sincere
Oh, they should have given you the oscar
For the best performance of the year

Yeah they should have given you the oscar
For the best performance of the year...

Yeah they should have given you the oscar
For the best performance of the year

The Perfect Song


The Perfect Song
Composer(s): Joseph Carl Breil - Clarence Lucas
Performer(s): Billy Vaughn



If you want this choice position
Have a cheery disposition
Rosy cheeks, no warts
Play games, all sorts

You must be kind, you must be witty
Very sweet and fairly pretty
Take us on outings, give us treats
Sing songs, bring sweets

Never be cross or cruel
Never give us castor oil or gruel
Love us as a son and daughter
And never smell of barley water

If you won't scold and dominate us
We will never give you cause to hate us
We won't hide your spectacles so you can't see
Put toads in your bed or pepper in your tea

Hurry, Nanny
Many thanks sincerely
Jane and Michael Banks

The People That You Never Get To Love


The People That You Never Get To Love
Composer(s): Rupert Holmes
Performer(s): Rupert Holmes



You're browsing through a second hand bookstore
And you see her in non-fiction V through Y
She looks up from World War Two
And then you catch her catching you catching her eye
And you quickly turn away your wishful stare
And take a sudden interest in your shoes
If you only had the courage, but you don't
She turns and leaves and you both lose

And you think about
The people that you never get to love
It's not as if you even have the chance
So many worth a second life
But rarely do you get a second glance
Until fate cuts in on your dance

And you'll see her on a train that you've just missed
At a bus stop where your bus will never stop
Or in a passing Buick when you've been pulled over by a traffic cop
Or you'll share an elevator, just you two
And you'll rise in solemn silence to your floor
Like the fool you are you get off
And she leaves your life behind a closing door

And you think about
The people that you never get to love
The poem you intended to begin
The saddest words that anyone has ever said
Are "Lord what might have been"
But noone said you get to win

Still you're never gonna miss what you don't know
And you don't know who you'll meet at half past three
It could be a total stranger who looks something just exactly much like me

One of the people that you never get to love
One of the people that you never get to love
The people that you nver get to love

Oh, How Much I Love You


Oh, How Much I Love You
((Adapted from: Dio, Come Ti Amo (Domenico Modugno) - 1966))
Composer(s): Domenico Modugno - Paul Vance - Lee Pockriss
Performer(s): Domenico Modugno - 1966
and multiple other artists

Versions In Other Languages:
1966 - Dios, Como Te Amo
1966 - Meus Deus, Como Te Amo (Giane)
1977 - Nu Gasesc Cuvinte (Alla Baianova)
2007 - Bože, Kako Te Volim (Tereza Kesovija)



Remember?
Why must I remember?
Why can't I simply close my eyes and go to sleep
And make her disappear?
Why must I always hear?

Dio, come ti amo
I still can hear her say
Oh God, how much I love you
And yet I walked away

The wind began to blow
And all the leaves went flying
She stood there in the night
And tried to keep from crying

Dio, come ti amo
What could I say or do?
When love has lost its meaning
It's over and it's through?

And so I went away
From someone who was waiting
To hold me in her arms
In an embraced celebrating

But that was long ago
And many loves had I
But only one was real
And that I let slip by

Dio, come ti amo

Dio, come ti amo
Those were the words she said
Oh God, how much I love you
Keeps running through my head

I know it's much too late
But I go right on prey
To have her back again
So she can hear me say

Dio, come ti amo
God, how much I love you

The Pennsylvania Polka


The Pennsylvania Polka
Composer(s): Lester Lee - Z. Manners
Performer(s): Harry Roy & His Band
and multiple other artists



Him:
Strike up the music the band has begun
The Pennsylvania Polka
Pick out your partner and join in the fun
The Pennsylvania Polka
It started in Scranton, it’s now No 1
It’s bound to entertain you
Everybody has a mania
To do the polka from Pennsylvania

Her:
While they’re dancing

Him:
Everybody’s cares are quickly gone

Her:
Sweet romancing

Him:
This goes on and on until the dawn

Her:
They’re so carefree

Him:
Gay with laughter happy as can be
They stop to have a beer
Then the crowd begins to cheer
They kiss and then they start to dance again
