Any Day Now (My Wild, Beautiful Bird)

By Bacharach/Hilliard

Any day now
I will hear you say
Goodnight my love
And you'll be on your way
Then my wild, beautiful bird
You will have flown
Any day now
I'll be all alone
Oh-wo-wo- ho

Any day now
When your restless eyes
Meet someone new
Oh to my sad surprise
Then my wild beautiful bird
You will have flown
Any day now
I'll be all alone
Oh-wo-ho

I know I shouldn't want to keep you
If you don't want to stay
Until you've gone forever
I'll be holding on for dear light
Holding you this way
And begging you to stay

Any day now
When the clock strikes forth
We call it off
And then my tears will flow
Then my wild beautiful bird
You will have flown
Any day now
I'll be all alone
Wo-woh-woh-ho-ho-ho
Fly away, my beautiful bird

<

You can leave it all to me...

I Put a Spell On You

by Screamin' Jay Hawkins

I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
You better stop the things that you do
I ain't lyin'
No, I ain't lyin'
I just can't stand it babe
The way you're always running round
I just can't stand it
The way you always put me down
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine

I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
You'd better stop the things that you do
No, no I ain't lying
I said I ain't lying
I just can't stand it babe
The way you're always tryin' to put me down
I just can't stand it
The way you're always running 'round
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
Because you're mine

I said I love you, I love you, I love you
Oh baby how
And I don't care if you don't want me
I said I'm yours, I'm yours right now
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
I put a spell on you
I just can't stand it, the way you're always tryin' to put me down
I put a spell on you
I put a spell, I put a spell on you...

The Trimdon Grange Explosion

By Armstrong, arr. Price

Oh, let's not think of tomorrow
Lest we disapointed be
Our joys may turn to sorrow
As we all may daily see
Today we may be strong and healthy
But soon there comes a change
As we may see from the explosion
That has been at Trimdon Grange

Men and boys left home that morning
For to earn their daily bread
Not long before the evening
They 've been numbered with the dead
Let's think of Mrs Burnett
Once had sons but now has none
By the Trimdon Grange explosion
Joseph, George, and James are gone

February has left behind it
What will never be forgot
Weeping widows, helpless children
May be found in many a cot
They ask if father's left them
And the mother hangs her head
With the weeping widow's feelings
Tells the child its father's dead

God protect the lonely widow
And raise each drooping head
Be a father to the orphans
Never let them cry for bread
Death will pay us all a visit
They have only gone before
And we'll meet the Trimdon victims
Where explosions are no more.

Take Me Home

I came down to London town
With a hayseed in my hair
To seek my fame and fortune
And become a millionaire
I got caught in the status web
With scheming and intrigue
Come on get me, ma,
And take me out of the major league

Oh, take me home
Well, take me home
Oh, take me home
Because my mind is weak and my soul is numb

I met up with a little girl
She said, "Let's play hide and seek"
I'm still looking for her
With a liquidated boutique
I'm walking 'round this dirty town
With debts around my neck
Does anybody here need shares in a second-hand discotheque?

Oh, take me home
Well, take me home
Oh, take me home
Because my mind is weak and my soul is numb

[instrumental interlude]

Oh, take me home
Well, take me home
Oh, take me home
Because my soul is weak and my mind is numb

I went back for the funeral
Of the best of all my friends
When I heard the news I cried so much
It would never end
I felt so sad and I felt so bad
Being left there in the lurch
I even felt worse when they made me sign
Autographs outside the church

Oh, take me home
Well, take me home
Oh, take me home
Because my mind is weak and my soul is numb

Willow Weep For Me

By Ronell

Willow weep for me
Willow weep for me
Bend your branches down
Along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall
Bend over, Lord, and weep for me

Gone, my lover's dream
Lovely summer's dream
Gone and left me here
To weep my tears into the stream
Sad as I can be
Bend over, Lord, and weep for me

Whisper to the wind
And say that love's a sin
To leave my heart a-breaking
And aching for more
Murmur to the night
To hide the starry light
So none will find me cryin'
And sighin' all alone

I said, willow weep for me
Willow weep for me
Won't you bend your branches down
Along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall
Bend over, Lord, and weep for me
I said, won't you weep for me...

Yours Until Tomorrow

by Gerry Goffin & Carole King

Tonight I hold to nothing
But the feelings in my soul
My heart overflows with
Emotions I just can't control
There's someone you are bound to
But tonight I just can't tell right from wrong
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Give me one night of your life
So I can hold on

Tomorrow the real world
Will come crashing down on me
I know I must lose you
That's the way it has to be
But tonight I see no boundaries
So I'm begging before my chance is gone
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Give me one night of your life
So I can hold on

Till the dawn's intrusion
Ends this sweet illusion
Make believe you're my love
This is not goodbye, love
All I ask is one night
Till the morning sunlight
Won't you stay here in my arms?
And baby
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Until tomorrow...

Simon Smith & His Amazing Dancing Bear

By Randy Newman

I may go out tomorrow if I can borrow a coat to wear
Oh I'd step out in style with my sincere smile and my dancing bear
Outrageous alarming
Courageous charming
Oh who would think a boy and bear
Could be well accepted everywhere
It's just amazing how fair people can be

Seen at the nicest places where well-fed faces all stop to stare
Making the grandest entrance is Simon Smith and his dancing bear
They'll love us, won't they?
They feed us, don't they?
Oh, who would think a boy and bear
Could be well accepted everywhere
It's just amazing how fair people can be

Who needs money when you're funny?
The big attraction everywhere
Will be Simon Smith and his dancing bear
It's Simon Smith and the amazing dancing bear

Shame

Johnny walks down the main street
With a briefcase in his hand
Been working all day in a white-collar job
Which he was told was the promised land
He kisses Mrs. Normal on the cheek
And pats his little son's head
But meanwhile in the back of his mind
Johnny would rather be dead

But it doesn't bother anybody no more
Well, I've just closed the door
Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame...

Jenny's on the switchboard, holding the line
For a gentleman in Bombay
She doesn't ever bother listening in
'Cos she doesn't care what he says
She cleans her nails with a paper clip
And watches the clouds roll by
But nobody seems to understand
Why there's a tear in Jenny's eye

But it doesn't bother anybody no more
Well, I've just closed the door
Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame...

But it doesn't bother anybody no more
Well, I've just closed the door
Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame...

Jenny's on the switchboard, holding the line

She doesn't ever bother listening in
'Cos she doesn't care what he says
She cleans her nails with a paper clip
And watches the clouds roll by
But nobody seems to understand
Why there's a tear in Jenny's eye

Jenny's on the switchboard, holding the line

Who Cares

By Waterman

Well, I saw my dog
And I gave him a bone
That's the only reason he was glad that I came home
Who cares?
Well I went back home to see the people
They don't answer the bell in the steeple
Who cares?

But I care about me
Tell me, why shouldn't I?
I care about me
I don't want the world to pass me by.

Old men say that you'll change your ways
But old men never listen to what you've got to say
Who cares?
I've seen cars that go a hundred miles an hour
But an early grave turns the speed very sour
Who cares?

But I care about me
Tell me, why shouldn't I?
I care about me
I don't want the world to pass me by.

Well, I saw my dog
And I gave him a bone
That's the only reason he was glad that I came home
Who cares?
Well I went back home to see the people
They don't answer the bell in the steeple
Who cares?

But I care about you
Tell me, why shouldn't I?
I care about you
I know that the world has passed you by.

My Old Kentucky Home

By Randy Newman

Turpentine and dandelion wine
I've turned the corner and I'm feelin' fine
Shootin' at the birds on the telephone line
Pickin' em off with this gun of mine
I got a fire in my belly
Got a fire in my head
Goin' higher and higher
Until I'm dead

Brother Gene, he's big and mean
And he don't have much to say
He had a little woman who he whupped each day
But now she's gone away
I got drunk last night
Kicked mama down the stairs
But I'm all right so I don't care

Let the sun shine bright on
My Old Kentucky Home
And the young folks roll on the floor
Oh, let the sun shines bright on
My Old Kentucky Home
Keep those hard times away from my door

Sister Sue, she's short and stout
She didn't grow up - she grew out
Mama says she's plain but she's just bein' kind
Papa thinks she's pretty but he's almost blind
Don't let her out much 'cept at night
But I don't care 'cause I'm all right

Let the sun shine bright on
My Old Kentucky Home
And the young folks roll on the floor
Oh, let the sun shine bright on
My Old Kentucky Home
Keep those hard times away from my door

Turpentine and dandelion wine
I've turned the corner and I'm feelin' fine
Shootin' at the birds on the telephone line
Pickin' em off with this gun of mine
I got a fire in my belly
Got a fire in my head
Goin' higher and higher
Until I'm dead

Don't Stop the Carnival

By Rollins; arr. Price

No don't stop the carnival
You'll never find a better way
No don't stop the carnival
To sing the night and day away
No don't stop the carnival

Sunshine I'm only dreamin'
Sunshine I'm only dreamin'

You'll never find a better way
No don't stop the carnival
You'll have to sing the night and day away
No don't stop the carnival

Sunshine I'm only dreamin'
Sunshine I'm only dreamin'

But this is England on a winter's afternoon
There is no sun, there's just the pale and tired moon
Shivering sparrows on the smoky chimney tops
And all the children suffer from cold, and flu, and raindrops

No don't stop the carnival
No don't stop the carnival
You'll never find a better way
No don't stop the carnival
To sing the night and day away
No don't stop the carnival

Sunshine I'm only dreamin'
Sunshine I'm only dreamin'
D-d-d-d- I'm only dreamin'
D-d-d-d- I'm only dreamin'...

Love Story

by Randy Newman

I like your mother
And I like your brother
And I like you
And you like me too
You get a preacher
And I'll get a ring
We'll hire a band
With an accordion
A violin
And a tenor who can sing

You and me you and me, babe
You and me you and me you and me, babe
You and me you and me you and me, babe
You and me you and me you and me, babe

We'll have a kid
Or maybe we'll rent one
He's got to be straight
We don't want a bent one
He'll drink his baby brew
From a big brass cup
Someday he might be prime minister
If things loosen up

You and me you and me, babe
You and me you and me you and me, babe
You and me you and me you and me, babe
You and me you and me you and me, babe

I'll take the train into the city
Ev'ry mornin'
You may be plain but I think you're pretty
In the mornin'
Some nights we'll go out dancin'
If I am not too tired
Some nights we'll spend romancin'
Watching the Late Show by the fire

When our kids are grown
With kids of their own
They'll send us away
To a little home in Harrowgate
We'll play patience all day
Until we pass away

The Time Has Come

By Briggs

Oh my baby, don't you know
The time has come for me to go

Tomorrow comes like yesterday
The autumn fades our love away

Don't you think of me no more
I'm going to some foreign shore

And when I'm there, making out fine
Some other young girl creeps into my mind

Oh my baby don't you know
The time has come for me to go

Tomorrow comes like yesterday
The autumn fades our love away

Oh my baby don't you know
The time has come for me to go

Tomorrow comes like yesterday
The autumn fades our love away....

When I Was a Cowboy

By Ledbetter; arr. Price

When I was a cowboy out on the western plain
Yes, when I was a cowboy out on the western plain
You know me and my bunch of cowboys run into Jesse James
'Cos I'm a ki-ki, ki-ki, yippee-ay, oh yeah

You know me and my bunch of cowboys run into Jesse James
You know me and my bunch of cowboys run into Jesse James
You know the bullets was a-flying just like shots of rain
'Cos I'm a ki-ki, ki-ki, yippee-ay, oh yeah

I went up to my girl's house
She was a-rocking in her rocking chair
I went up to my girl's house
She was rocking in her rocking chair
She said, Oh sweet cowboy, please don't leave me here
'Cos I'm a ki-ki, ki-ki, yippee-ay, oh yeah

Well, oh my hardest battle was up on Bunkers Hill
I said, yes, my hardest battle was up on Bunkers Hill
You know me and my bunch of cowboys run into Buffalo Bill
'Cos I'm a ki-ki, ki-ki, yippee-ay, oh yeah

Now, if your house catches fire and there ain't no water around
Yes, if your house catches fire and there ain't no water around
Just throw your telly out the window, let that shack burn down
'Cos I'm a ki-ki, ki-ki, yippee-ay, oh yeah

Falling In Love Again

By Hollander/Lerner

Falling in love again
I never wanted to
What am I to do
I can't help it

Love's always been my game
Play it how I may
I was made that way
I can't help it

Girls cluster to me like moths around the flame
And if their wings burn, I know I'm not to blame

I'm just falling in love again
Never wanted to
Girl, what am I to do
I can't help it

Girls cluster to me like moths around the flame
And if their wings burn, I know I'm not to blame

I'm just falling in love again
I never wanted to
What am I to do
I can't help it

Love's always been my game
I play it how I may
Girl, I was made that way
I can't help it

Falling in love, in love again
Falling in love, in love again
Falling in love, in love again....
