The Patty Duke Show Theme Composer(s): Sid Ramin - Bob Wells
Meet Cathy, who's lived most everywhere From Zanzibar to Barclay Square But Patty's only seen the sights A girl can see from Brooklyn Heights — What a crazy pair!
But they're cousins Identical cousins all the way One pair of matching bookends Different as night and day
Where Cathy adores a minuet The Ballet Russes, and crepe suzette Our Patty loves to rock and roll A hot dog makes her lose control — What a wild duet!
Still, they're cousins Identical cousins and you'll find They laugh alike, they walk alike At times they even talk alike You can lose your mind When cousins are two of a kind

I am a passenger And I ride and I ride Ride through the city's back sides See stars come out of the sky Yeah the bright and hollow sky You know it looks so good tonight I am a passenger I stay under glass I look through my window so bright See the stars come out tonight I see the bright and hollow sky Over the city's red back side And everything looks good tonight
Sing it La la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la La la
Get into the car We'll be the passengers We'll ride through the city at night See the city's red back side See the bright and hollow sky See the stars that shine so bright The stars made for us tonight
Oh the passenger How how he rides Oh the passenger He rides and he rides Looks through his window What does he see? Sees the bright and hollow sky Sees the stars come out tonight Sees the city's red back side Sees the winding ocean drive And everything was made for you and me All of it was made for you and me It just belongs to you and me So let's take a ride See what's mine

Turn out the lights The party's over They say that All good things must end Call it tonight The party's over And tomorrow starts The same old thing again
But the crazy crazy party Never seen so many people Laughing dancing Look at you you're having fun But look at me I'm almost cryin' That don't keep her love from dyin' Misery cause for me the party's over Turn out the lights...
Once I had a love undyin' I didn't keep it but I tried Life for me was just one party And then another I broke her heart so many times I had to have my parting wife I had to have my party Why broke her heart so many times But one day she said Sweetheart the party's over Turn out the lights...
The Party's Over Composer(s): Betty Comden - Adolph Green - Jule Styne First performance/First release by: Judy Holliday - 1956 Covered by multiple other artists
The party's over, it's time to call it a day They've burst your pretty balloon And taken the moon away It's time to wind up the masquerade Just make your mind up The piper must be paid
The party's over, the candles flicker and dim You danced and dreamed through the night It seemed to be right just being with him Now you must wake up, all dreams must end Take off your makeup, the party's over It's all over, my friend
The party's over, it's time to call it a day They've burst your pretty balloon And taken the moon away Now you must wake up, all dreams must end Take off your makeup, the party's over It's all over, my friend

Versions In Other Languages: 1974 - Il Partigiano (Daiano) 2004 - De Partizane (Yasmine & Thé Lau)
When they poured across the border I was cautioned to surrender this I could not do I took my gun and vanished
I have changed my name so often I've lost my wife and children but I have many friends and some of them are with me
An old woman gave us shelter kept us hidden in the garret then the soldiers came she died without a whisper
There were three of us this morning I'm the only one this evening but I must go on the frontiers are my prison
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing through the graves the wind is blowing freedom soon will come then we'll come from the shadows
Les Allemands étaient chez moi ils me dirent, "Signe toi" mais je n'ai pas peur j'ai repris mon arme J'ai changé cent fois de nom j'ai perdu femme et enfants mais j'ai tant d'amis j'ai la France entière Un vieil homme dans un grenier pour la nuit nous a caché les Allemands l'ont pris il est mort sans surprise
(The Germans were at my home They said, "Sign yourself" But I am not afraid I have retaken my weapon I have changed names a hundred times I have lost wife and children But I have so many friends I have all of France An old man, in an attic Hid us for the night The Germans captured him He died without surprise)
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing through the graves the wind is blowing freedom soon will come then we'll come from the shadows
The Parson Of Puddle Composer(s): Greatrex 'Rex' Newman Performer(s): Stanley Holloway
In the sweet little, neat little Only one street little Parish of Puddle O’er which I preside There dwells a young lady whose name is O’Grady prefixed by the Christian names Caroline Sady And rumour has stated The facts circulated That she is as thin as a lath And I’m bound to admit That she is every bit For I saw her today in her bath... chair and noticed the fact plain to see O lack a day, O lack a day, O lack a day me
In the high little Spry little, feel rather dry little Parish of Puddle O’er which I preside We had a school outing With races and shouting For little girl guides and little boys scouting And when all the teachers Were cooling their features With something that fizzed in a glass One said “Don’t you think You’d like something to drink” I said “Yes, I should like a small Bass... -ket of strawberries With cream and some tea
In the bright little Tight little, stay out all night little Parish of Puddle O’er which I preside It fell to my duty To wed a stage beauty To one of the Air Forces second leftooty In every relation Showed great jubilation When just as a twelve month had run One fine Wednesday night With the greatest delight She presented her spouse with a son... Day school hymn book That cost One and three
In the blank little, swank little, two pubs and bank little Parish of Puddle o'er which I preside A spinster named Mary Once opened a dairy And as new laid eggs, seemed to be necessary She purchased some hens In most beautiful pens But when egg collecting she went She found with dismay That those birds could not lay For each of those fowls was a gentle... and shy little rooster you see O lack a day, O lack a day, O lack a day me
The Parade Of The Wooden Soldiers Composer(s): Leon Jessel - Ballard MacDonald Performer(s): Shirley Temple
The toy shop door is locked up tight And ev'rything is quiet for the night When suddenly the clock strikes twelve The fun's begun The dolls are in their best array There's going to be a wonderful parade " Hark to the drum, oh, here they come" Cries ev'ryone Hear them all cheering Now they are nearing There's the captain stiff as starch Bayonets flashing Music is crashing As the wooden soldiers march Sabers a-clinking Soldiers a-winking At each pretty little maid Here they come! Here they come! Here they come! Here they come! Wooden soldiers on parade
