The Patty Duke Show Theme


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

The Path Of Love


The Path Of Love
Composer(s): Tony Romeo
Performer(s): The Cowsills



Well come on
follow down the Path of Love
Come on little children
gather 'round me and hear what I say
To lead the life you should
you got to strive to be good ev'ry day
You can brighten the dark
with a light in your heart
that'll shine like the sun above
So come on
follow down the Path of Love
Come on, ev'rybody together
Come on, let me show you the way
Come on, we can do much better
follow down the Path of Love
Come on, ev'rybody together
Come on, let me show you the way
Come on, we can do much better
follow down the Path of Love
Believe there is someone who loves you
no matter what
You can count your blessings
and be happy with whatever you've got
Won't you brighten the dark
with a light in your heart
you better shine like the sun above
So come on
follow down the Path of Love
Come on, ev'rybody together
Come on, let me show you the way
Come on, we can do much better
follow down the Path of Love
Come on, ev'rybody together
Come on, let me show you the way
Come on, we can do much better
follow down the Path of Love

The Past Sure Is Tense


The Past Sure Is Tense
Composer(s): Don Van Vliet
First release by: Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band - 1982



The past sure is tense
they're heading up for the main event
all those people seem to be hell-bent
see those people up on top of the fence
and the man down there
selling knotholes through the fence
the little shoe generation man
I found your print on a dollar bill
I found your print on an Indian mound
I found your print on the statue at the sound
I found your print on the elephant ground
I found your print in the beautiful mountains
the grass no longer grew around
I found your print in my mind
the past sure is tense
the past sure is tense
no you got the wrong idea
no you got the wrong intent
the carpenter carpenterized my vent
the only peephole
where is my dent
the past sure is tense
the past sure is tense
the past sure is now
I don't see how
see those people that used to
throw those tents
you can't see them now
they're in past tense
the past sure is tense

First release by: Iggy Pop - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists

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

Sing it
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la

Sing it
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la

Sing it
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la

The Party's Over (Willie Nelson)


The Party's Over
Composer(s): Willie Nelson
Performer(s): Willie Nelson



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 (Hopelessly In Love)


The Party's Over (Hopelessly In Love)
Composer(s): Steve Perry
Performer(s): Journey



You never call me up
when I'm alone at night
What can this poor boy do
when he's hopelessly in love with you

So I will tell you now
This love is falling down
Just what more can I do
When I'm hopelessly in love with you

Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love with you

So I will tell you this
Our love is in abyss
Just what more can I do
When I'm hopelessly in love with you

You never call me up
When I'm alone at night
What can a poor boy do
When he's hopelessly in love with you

Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love with you

Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love
I'm hopelessly in love with you

Ooh bye bye baby

The party's over
I have gone away

The party's over
I have gone away

The party's over
Over

The party's over
I have gone away

(Repeat)...

The Party's Over (Judy Holliday)


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

It's all over, my friend

The Partisan


The Partisan
((Adapted from: La Complainte Du Partisan (Anna Marly) - 1963))
Composer(s): Emmanuel d'Astier de la Vigerie - Anna Marly - Hy Zaret
Performer(s): Leonard Cohen - 1969
and multiple other artists

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


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


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
