It's a wonderful life

Well, i've got no job to worry me
No big bad boss to hurry me
It's a wonderful life life's good to me

2. _ I Met Her Today
(words & music by robertson - blair)
I told you that some day
If you kept on being untrue
Somebody else would come along
And release me from you
You'll be glad to know now
Your fickle heart
Can have its own way
For it finally happened
I've met her today
I used to think i just couldn't live
A day without you
In spite of the thousand doubts and tears
That you put me through
All at once i don't care as much for you
I'm sorry to say
For now there's another
I met her today
How i treasured each smile, each kiss
You gave to me now and then
Well, you needn't be kind to me now
Oh no, not ever again
Just when the last bit of pride in me was gone
Someone heard me pray
And sent me my angel
I met her today
I met her today

3. _ Jailhouse Rock
(words & music by jerry leiber - mike stoller)
The warden threw a party in the county jail.
The prison band was there and they began to wail.
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing.
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.
Spider murphy played the tenor saxophone,
Little joe was blowin' on the slide trombone.
The drummer boy from illinois went crash, boom, bang,
The whole rhythm section was the purple gang.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.
Number forty-seven said to number three:
"you're the cutest jailbird i ever did see.
I sure would be delighted with your company,
Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.
The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone.
The warden said, "hey, buddy, don't you be no square.
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.
Shifty henry said to bugs, "for heaven's sake,
No one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break."
Bugsy turned to shifty and he said, "nix nix,
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.

4. _ Memories
(words & music by bill strange - scott davis)
Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened thru the ages just like wine
Quiet thought come floating down
And settle softly to the ground
Like golden autumn leaves around my feet
I touched them and they burst apart with sweet memories,
Sweet memories
Of holding hands and red bouquets
And twilight trimmed in purple haze
And laughing eyes and simple ways
And quiet nights and gentle days with you
Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened thru the ages just like wine,
Memories, memories, sweet memories

5. _ Love Me Tonight
(words & music by don robertson)
May this tenderness cling
When the fire of spring
Is a memory
May you still be my own
When a hundred years have flown
But if it can't be
Give this moment to me
While our dream is bright
Put your sweet arms around me
And love me tonight
Love me tonight
Let me feel your lips on mine
And though i pray
Forever and a day i'll be
Possessing you
I'll confess to you
If i knew that our love would be gone
With the stars in the dawn's grey light
I'd still hold you close and whisper
Love me tonight

6. _ Goin' Home
(words & music by byers)
This proud wild land where the wind blows free
Has always been a part of me
It's in my blood, i just can't get it out
For a hundred miles a man can see
And be about as wild as he wants to be
If he feels like shouting all he's gotta do is shout
Where the purple mountains reach up high
And look like they're gonna touch the sky
Where the canyon walls have stood for a million years
Where the days are hot, the nights are cold
The desert sand looks just like gold
These trails were carved in sweat and blood and tears
Where the painted desert as you pass by
Looks like a rainbow in the sky
The cactus blooms in the early morning sun
Where the nightwings sing and eagles fly
The clouds paint pictures in the sky
The coyotes howl tells you when the day is done
I'm coming home, this time i'm gonna stay
I'm coming home and i ain't never goin' away
My feet are itching to get back home
I've had the desert fever since i've been gone
I need some loving so bad that i can't see
When a woman looks a man in the eye
You know it takes a man to satisfy
Thinking about them girls is killing me
I'm going home, going home
Going home, i'm going home
Going home, going home
Going home

7. _ A Whistling Tune
(words & music by edwards - david)
Did you ever notice when the sun goes down
Out of nowhere comes a strange and pretty sound
It's a whistling tune for walking in the night
If you listen you can hear it in the breeze
Specially when the breeze is drifting through the trees
It's a whistling tune for walking in the night
And the murmuring waters sing the song
The echoing mountains hum along
The whispering valleys fill the air
With a whistling tune our hearts can share
It's so wonderful to walk beneath the moon
Listening to old mother nature's favorite tune
It's a whistling tune for walking in the night

8. _ Stop, Look And Listen
(words & music by joy byers)
When i was a little bitty boy
Sittin' on my papa's knee
I still remember every word my papa said to me
Now boy if you ever meet
A pretty woman walking down the street
You'd better
Stop real still, look both ways
Listen or you'll get in trouble
When you see her go struttin' by
Giving you that evil eye
And she's got a kind of dreamy look
Just enough to get you shook
Now boy don't you lose your head
You pay attention what your papa said
You'd better
Stop real still, look both ways
Listen or you'll get in trouble
All right !
She'll drive you crazy with the way she walks
She'll drive you crazy with the way she talks
And you'll think you're gonna lose your mind
'cause that pretty woman looks so fine
And the very first thing you'll know
You'll be tellin' her you love her so
You'd better stop real still

(words & music by wizell - lisbona)
Gently your eyes met mine
Tender, trusting, true
Gently your hand took mine
Thrilled me through and through
Gently, oh so gently
Gentle as the dawn
Gently, oh so gently
Our true love was born
Gently your lips kissed mine
As we strolled along
Gently your heart touched mine
Young and warm and strong
Gently the hour is near
When true loves have to part
Gently we'll meet again
One more kiss, sweetheart

I am yours and you are mine, come what may
Love like ours remains divine, come what may

At night the teardrops start and pour the long long day

I plant a kiss upon your lips each night and day
Bear in mind and you will find a heart that is true
And i'll be here with you come what may

(words & music by del shannon)
As i walk along i wonder
What went wrong with our love
Love that was so strong
And as i still walk by
I think off the times we had together
While our hearts were young
I'm a-walking in the rain
Hear it falling,
And i feel the pain
Wishing you were here by me
To end this misery
And i wonder
Why
You went away
Yes, i wonder, where you will stay
My little runaway,
Run, run, run, run, runaway

(words & music by jesse stone)
You gave me love to enjoy
Like a bright shiny toy to a baby
No matter what you would do
I depended on you like a baby
One thing i know i love you
Yes i loved you like a baby
It was a fool that you took
And i think 'cause you look like a baby
To lover's ways i was blind
'cause i just had a mind like a baby
You're just a flirt
And i had to be her guide like a baby
I need you so, i need you so
The day i found i am alive
Then i broke down and cried like a baby
Well it was then i could see
You were playing with me like a baby
Well you can bet that some day
I'll forget just like a baby

How can you lose what you never had
I tell myself when i'm feeling sad
You don't have the right to cry
You believed your own lie
It's your fault because
You thought that she was yours
Think it over once, think it over twice
I wish i could take my own advice
I know i should be glad, why does it hurt so bad
How can you lose what you never had
You don't have the right to cry
You believed your own lie
It's your fault because
You thought that she was yours
Think it over once, think it over twice

15. _ Roustabout
(words & music by giant - baum - kaye)
I'm just a roustabout
Shifted from town to town
No job can hold me down, i'm just a knock-around guy
There's a lot of space beneath that sky
Till i find my place there's no doubt...
I'll be a rovin' roustabout
Call me the carefree kind
I wander with the breeze
My mind and heart's at ease
Doing what pleases me best
Gotta keep-a movin' east or west
Till i find my place there's no doubt
I'll be a rovin' roustabout
And even if a pretty girl, should catch my eye
I'll give her a quick "hello", and a fast goodbye
I'll go the way i want
Driftin' just like the sand
Doin' what job i can
Changing my plans as i choose
Long as i keep happy i can't lose
Till i find my place there's no doubt
I'll be a rovin' roustabout
I'll be a rovin' roustabout...i'll be a rovin' roustabout
I'll be a rovin' roustabout..rovin', rovin' roustabout....

16. _ G.i. Blues
(words & music by sid tepper - roy bennett)
They give us a room
With a view of the beautiful rhine
They give us a room
With a view of the beautiful rhine
Gimme a muddy old creek
In texas any old time
I've got those hup, two, three, four
Occupation g.i. blues
From my g.i. hair to the heels of my g.i. shoes
And if i don't go stateside soon
I'm gonna blow my fuse
We get hasenpfeffer
And black pumpernickel for chow
We get hasenpfeffer
And black pumpernickel for chow
I'd blow my next month's pay
For a slice of texas cow
We'd like to be heroes,
But all we do here is march
We'd like to be heroes,
But all we do here is march
And they don't give the purple heart
For a fallen arch
I've got those hup, two, three, four
Occupation g.i. blues
From my g.i. hair to the heels of my g.i. shoes
And if i don't go stateside soon
I'm gonna blow my fuse
The frauleins are pretty as flowers
But we can't make a pass
The frauleins are pretty as flowers
But we can't make a pass
Cause they're all wearin' signs saying:
"keepen sie off the grass"
I've got those hup, two, three, four
Occupation g.i. blues
From my g.i. hair to the heels of my g.i. shoes
And if i don't go stateside soon

And there's nothing i won't do if you

She turned and walked away
And told me i was playing
Some guys have all the luck
And my heart hasn't any
I think i'll paint a sign

Sitting home all alone,
If you can't come around,
At least please telephone.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.

For something i might have said,

Baby it's just you i'm thinking of.
Don't stop thinking of me,
Don't make me feel this way,
Come on over here and love me,
You know what i want you to say.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
Why should we be apart?
I really love you baby, cross my heart.
Let's walk up to the preacher
And let us say i do,
Then you'll know you'll have me,
And i'll know that i'll have you,
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
I don't want no other love,
Baby it's just you i'm thinking of.

Summer kisses, winter tears
That was what she gave to me
Never thought that i'd travel all alone
The trail of memories
Happy hours, lonely years
But i guess i can't complain
For i still recall the summer sun
Through all the winter rain
The fire of love, the fire of love
Can burn from afar
And nothing can light the dark of the night
Like a falling star
Summer kisses, winter tears
Like the stars they fade away
Leaving me to spend my lonely nights
With dreams of yesterday
The fire of love, the fire of love
Can burn from afar
And nothing can light the dark of the night
Like a falling star
Summer kisses, winter tears
Like the stars they fade away
Leaving me to spend my lonely nights
With dreams of yesterday
Leaving me to spend my lonely nights
With dreams of yesterday
Summer kisses, winter tears

34. _ Inherit The Wind
(words & music by eddie rabbitt)
Baby don't fall in love with me
I'll only bring you grief
Baby, don't set your heart on me
I'll only have to leave
'cause the north wind flows through my veins
Like my dad there's a dream in my brain
In the morning i'll have to leave again
That's how it is when you inherit the wind
Inherit the wind
Daddy, he was a traveling man
I hardly knew his face
Momma, she cried for him at night
He never stayed in one place
'cause the north wind flows through my veins
Like my dad there's a dream in my brain
In the morning i'll have to leave again
That's how it is when you inherit the wind
Inherit the wind
Oh i can't give you the love you need
I just won't be here that long
But if you still want me here tonight
I'll love you till the break of dawn
'cause the north wind flows through my veins
Like my dad there's a dream in my brain
In the morning i'll have to leave again

37. _ This Is The Story
(words & music by arnold - morrow - martin)
I play the song, it was our own
Your photograph's by my side
I know i can't forget you
So i don't even try
The note you left is in my hand
I read again what you say
You're sorry but you love him
And you've both gone away
This is the story of a man
Whose world has fallen apart
And it's the story
That is breaking my heart
An open fire, our favorite chair
I get a book from the shelf
But the words i am reading
Could apply to myself
This is the story of a man
Whose world has fallen apart
And it's the story
That is breaking my heart
Yes, it's the story that is breaking my heart
Yes, it's the story that is breaking my heart
Yes, it's the story that is breaking my heart

38. _ Lonely Man
(words & music by benjamin - marcus)
It's a lonely man
Who wanders all around
It's a lonely man
Who roams from town to town
Searchin', always searchin'
For something he can't find
Hopin', always hopin'
That some day fate will be kind
It's a lonely man
Who travels all alone
When he has no one
That he can call his own
Always so unhappy
Taking shelter where he can
Here i am
Come meet a lonely, lonely man
Always so unhappy
Taking shelter where he can
Here i am
Come meet a lonely, lonely man
Here i am
Come meet a lonely, lonely man

39. _ Heartbreak Hotel
(words & music by mae b. axton - tommy durden - elvis presley)
Well, since my baby left me,
I found a new place to dwell.
It's down at the end of lonely street
At heartbreak hotel.
You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely i could die.
And although it's always crowded,
You still can find some room.
Where broken hearted lovers
Do cry away their gloom.
You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely i could die.
Well, the bell hop's tears keep flowin',
And the desk clerk's dressed in black.
Well they been so long on lonely street
They ain't ever gonna look back.
You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely i could die.
Hey now, if your baby leaves you,
And you got a tale to tell.
Just take a walk down lonely street
To heartbreak hotel.

(words & music by wise - blagman)
Give me the right
To hold you tonight
The tears that i've cried over you
Give me the right
You can't say no
When i need you so
I want you back in my arms
Give me the right
If you looked deep in your heart
Like i looked into mine
You'll find that nothing has changed
Our love was there all the time
Why make me plead
For something you need
I want to bring back the thrill
Give me the right
Give me the right

I will spend my whole life through
Loving you, loving you.
Winter, summer, spring-time, too,

You know that i'll always be loving you.
If i'm seen with someone new,

Always true, true to you.
There is only one for me, and you know who.
You know that i'll always be loving you.

"one day you'll find a love to last eternally"

43. _ Memphis Tennessee
(words & music by chuck berry)
Long distance information give me memphis, tennessee
Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number but i know who placed the call
My uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall
Help me information to get in touch with my marie
She's the only one who'd phone me here from memphis, tennessee
Her home is on the southside, high upon a ridge
Just a half a mile from the mississippi bridge
Help me information more than that i cannot add
Only that i miss her and all the fun we had
But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
Tore apart our happy home in memphis, tennessee
The last time i saw marie she was waving me goodbye
With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
Marie is only six years old, information please
Try to put me through to her in memphis, tennessee

Every man has a black star
A black star over his shoulder
And when a man sees his black star
He knows his time, his time has come

47. _ I Slipped, I Stumbled, I Fell
(words & music by wise - weisman)
I look at you and wham, i'm head over heels
I guess that love is a banana peel
I feel so bad and yet i'm feeling so well
I slipped, i stumbled, i fell
One crazy kiss and bam, i head for the skies
I guess that love is like a cake of ice
You skate along but then you can never tell
I slipped, i stumbled, i fell
I never thought i'd get tricked
By you sweet talking lies
You've got a bag of tricks
And when you get busy
I got dazzled and dizzy
I fell like a ton of bricks
My knees are weak, my head is spinning around
I guess that love has turned me upside down
Thought i'd get hurt, but gee, it's turning out well
I slipped, i stumbled, i fell

49. _ There's Always Me
(words & music by don robertson)
When the evening shadows fall,
And you're wond'ring who to call
For a little company
There's always me
Or if your great romance should end,
And you're lonesome for a friend
Darling, you need never be
There's always me
I don't seem to mind somehow
Playing second fiddle now
Someday you'll want me, dear,
And when that day is here,
Within my arms you'll come to know
Other loves may come and go
But my love for you will be eternally
Look around and you will see
There's always me.

50. _ Are You Lonesome Tonight?
(words & music by roy turk and lou handman)
Are you lonesome tonight,
Do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day
When i kissed you and called you sweetheart?
Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?
Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there?
Is your heart filled with pain, shall i come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?
I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
You know someone said that the world's a stage
And each must play a part.
Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart.
Act one was when we met, i loved you at first glance
You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue
Then came act two, you seemed to change and you acted strange
And why i'll never know.
Honey, you lied when you said you loved me
And i had no cause to doubt you.
But i'd rather go on hearing your lies
Than go on living without you.
Now the stage is bare and i'm standing there
With emptiness all around
And if you won't come back to me
Then make them bring the curtain down.
Is your heart filled with pain, shall i come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

Stop, look and listen baby that's my philosophy
If your rubberneckin' baby well that's all right with me
Stop, look and listen baby that's my philosophy
It's called rubberneckin' baby but that's all right with me
Some people say i'm wasting time yeh, but they don't really know

First thing in the morning, last thing at night
I look, stare everywhere and see everything inside
Stop, look and listen baby that's my philosophy
If your rubberneckin' baby well that's all right with me
Stop, look and listen baby that's my philosophy
It's called rubberneckin' baby but that's all right with me
Some people say i'm wasting time yeh, but they don't really know
I like what i see i see what i like yeh, it gives me such a glow
Sittin' on the back porch all by myself
Along came mary jane with somebody else
Well, stop, look and listen baby that's my philosophy
It's called rubberneckin' baby but that's all right with me
Some people say i'm wasting time yeh, but i don't really care
I like what i see, i see what i like yeh, it gives me such a glow
Sittin' on the back porch all by myself
Along came mary jane with somebody else
Well, stop, look and listen baby that's my philosophy
It's called rubberneckin' baby but that's all right with me
Stop, look and listen baby that's my philosophy
Stop, look and listen baby that's my philosophy
Stop, look and listen baby that's my philosophy
Stop
