It's the little things - Sonny and Cher

You're not the kind of guy that make the girls all sigh
And they never turn their heads and look when you walk by
But baby that's OK, I love you anyway
And I never change or rearrange you so stay that way.
'Cause it's the little things that mean a lot
It's what you are, not WHAT you got.
Call my name and I'll come running
Look at me and the clouds start sunning
Hold my hand and you got me going
Kiss my lips and my mind starts going.
We got a thing that won't stop cooking
You turn me on just by looking
You can make me strong just by sighing
You can break my heart just by crying.
You're not the smartest man that I ever met
And every word you ever said I won't forget
And so I guess that's why until the day I die
When you're bad and make me sad, you're still my guy.
'Cause it's the little things that mean a lot
It's what you are, not what you got.
Call my name and I'll come running
Look at me and the clouds start sunning
Hold my hand and you got me going
Kiss my lips and my mind starts going.
We got a thing that won't stop cooking
You turn me on, baby, just by looking
You can make me strong just by sighing
You can break my heart just by crying, baby.

You make me feel like I've never been kissed before
Only you can do it
You make me feel like I wanna be kissed for ever more
Only you can do it
I don't know why I feel this way
I only know I like the way you hold me in your arms, only you can do it
Only you can do it, only you can do it
Only you can do WHAT you're doing to me
I walk around town with my head held up so high, only you can do it
My feet are on the ground but I feel like I'm touching the sky
Only you can do it
I don't know why I feel this way
I only know I like the way you hold me in your arms, only you can do it
Only you can do it, only you can do it
Only you can do what you're doing to me
I don't know why I feel this way
I only know I like the way you hold me in your arms, only you can do it
Only you can do it, only you can do it
Only you can do what you're doing to me
Only you can do it, only you can do it
Only you can do what you're doing to me.

Liza with a Z - Liza Minnelli


only registered users can see external links


I have a problem
It's not a big problem
But it is a problem
It's my name
I find it still a lot of people call me Lisa
Wrong!
My name is Liza, Liza
Has a Z in it
Well, for instance, someone will come up to me on the street and say
"Hello Lisa, how are you?"
"Fine, thank you but it's Liza"
Or Someone will say
"Lisa, what a nice hat you have on!"
I'll say, "Thank you very much but my name is Liza and that's my hair"
So you can see what I mean
Anyway, I've been trying to figure out the final solution to this
And I think I've come up with an answer
Jack!

It's Liza with a Z
Not Lisa with an S
'Cause Lisa with an S
Goes "sss" not "zzz"
It's Z instead of S
Ly instead of Lee
It's SIMPLE as can be
See, Liza!
I'll do it again

It's Liza with a Z
Not Lisa with an S
'Cause Lisa with an S
Goes "sss" not "zzz"
It's Z instead of S
Ly instead of Lee
It's simple as can be
See, Liza!

Now, if my name were Ada
I'd be Ada
Even backwards I'd be Ada
Or if my name were Ruth
Then I'd be Ruth
Because with Ruth
What can you do?
Or Sally, or Margaret, or Ginger or Faye
But when you're a Liza
You always have to say

It's Liza with a Z
Not Lisa with an S
'Cause Lisa with an S
Goes "sss" not "zzz"
It's Z instead of S
Ly instead of Lee
It's simple as can be
See, Liza!

Oh! And that is only half of it
There's another way
Fate treats me cruelly
How often I remember someone saying
"There she goes, Lisa Minooli!"
Or Minoli, or Miniola, or Minili, or Minelie
So is it a wonder, I very often cry?

It's M-I-Double N
Then-E-Double L-I
You double up the N, thats nn, not ll
Then E, double the L, end it with an I
That's the way you say Minnelli
Liza Minnelli
It's Italian
Blame it on papa
What can I do?

Every Sandra
Who's a Sondra
Every Mary who's really Marie
Every Joan
Who is a Joanne
Has got to agree with me
When I've announced
I don't mind being pommelled
Or trampled or trounced
But it does drive you bats
To be miss, Miss pronounced

It's Liza with a Z
Not Lisa with an S
'Cause Lisa with an S
Goes "sss" not "zzz"
It's Z instead of S
Ly instead of Lee
It's simple as can be
See, Liza!

Then M-I-Double N
Then-E-Double L-I
You double up the N, thats "nn," not "ll"
Then E, double the L, end it with an I
That's the way you say Minnelli
Liza Minnelli!
It's easy!
It's easy! See, it's Leezy!
No! Liza!

The Bare necessities - from 'The Jungle Book'


only registered users can see external links


Look for the bare necessities, the SIMPLE bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities, old mother nature's recipes
That bring the bare necessities of life
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I couldn't be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin' in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants, then maybe try a few
The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!
Look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life
Now when you pick a paw-paw or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw, well, next time beware
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear try to use the claw
But you don't need to use the claw
When you pick a pear of the big paw-paw
Have I given you a clue?
The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!
Oh man, that's really livin'
So just try and relax, yeah, cool it
Fall apart in my backyard
'Cause let me tell you something little britches
If you act like that bee acts, uh uh
You're working too hard
And don't spend your time lookin' around
For something you want that can't be found
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinkin' about it
I'll tell you something true
The bare necessities of life will come to you
Look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife (yeah man!)
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life
Yeah, with just the bare necessities of life (yeah man!)

A SIMPLE Twist of Fate. - Bob Dylan

only registered users can see external links

They sat together in the park
As the evening sky got dark,
She looked at him and he felt a spark
tingle to the bones.
‘Twas then she felt alone
and wished that she’d gone straight
or watched out, watched out for the simple twist of fate.

They walked along by the old canal
A little confused, I remember well
stopped into a strange hotel
with a neon-burnin’ sign.
She said: “Put your hand in mine!
Ain’t no need to hesitate.
It was all about that simple twist of fate.”

A saxophone someplace softly played
As she was walkin’ by the arcade.
she heard the melody rise and fade
as the sun was coming up.
She dropped a coin into the cup
of a blind man at the gate
And forgot about that simple twist of fate.

He woke up and she was gone
He didn’t see nothing but the dawn
Got out of bed and put his shoes back on
He pushed back the blinds.
Found a note she’d left behind. What’d it say?
You should have met me back in ‘58
We could have avoided this little simple twist of fate.

He hears the ticking of the clocks
And he hunts for her through the city blocks
Even down there by the waterfront docks
where the sailers all roll in.
Maybe he’ll see her once again,
how long must he wait
Once more for a simple twist of fate.

People tell me it’s a sin
That it’s wrong and it’s wicked, too far down in
I let her get under my skin,
under my skin too late
I had another date,
A date that couldn’t wait
Blame it all, blame it on a simple twist of fate

Elton John, YOUR SONG

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money, but, boy, if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, heh, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song, and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite SIMPLE, but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well, a few of the verses, well, they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
You see, I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite SIMPLE, but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

Chicago, JUST YOU 'N' ME

Two flow as one as love's reward
Loving you girl is so damn easy, yeah
Yeah, yeah
You are my love in my life
You are my inspiration
Just you and me
SIMPLE and free (oh)
Baby, you're everything I've ever dreamed of

Where Are You Tonight - Bob Dylan

only registered users can see external links

There’s a long-distance train rolling through the rain
Tears on the letter I write
There’s a woman I long to touch and I miss her so much
But she’s drifting like a satellite

There’s a neon light ablaze in a green smoky haze
Laughter down on Elizabeth Street
And a lonesome bell tone in that valley of stone
Where she bathed in a stream of pure heat

Her father would emphasize you got to be more than streetwise
But he practiced what he preached from the heart
A full-blooded Cherokee, he predicted it to me
The time and the place that we'd part

There’s a babe in the arms of a woman in a rage
And a longtime golden-haired stripper onstage
And she winds back the clock and she turns back the page
Of a book that nobody can write
Oh, where are you tonight?

The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure
To live it you had to explode
In that last hour of need, we entirely agreed
Sacrifice was the code of the road

I left town at dawn, with Marcel and St. John
Strong men belittled by doubt
I couldn’t tell her what my private thoughts were
But she had some way of finding them out

He took dead-center aim but he missed just the same
She was waiting, putting flowers on the shelf
She could feel my despair as I climbed up her hair
And discovered her invisible self

There’s a lion in the road, there’s a demon escaped
There’s a million dreams gone, there’s a landscape being raped
As her beauty fades and I watch her undrape
I won’t but then again, maybe I might
Oh, if I could just find you tonight

I fought with my twin, that enemy within
’Til both of us fell by the way
Horseplay and disease is killing me by degrees
While the law looks the other way

Your partners in crime hit me up for nickels and dimes
The man you were lovin’ could never get clean
It felt out of place, my foot in his face
But he should-a stayed where his money was green

I bit into the root of forbidden fruit
With the juice running down my leg
Then I dealt with your boss, who’d never known about loss
Who always was too proud to beg

There’s a white diamond gloom on the dark side of this room
And a pathway that leads up to the stars
If you don’t believe there’s a PRICE for this sweet paradise
Just remind me to show you the scars

There’s a new day at dawn and I’ve finally arrived
If I’m there in the morning, baby, you’ll know I’ve survived
I can’t believe it, I can’t believe I’m alive
But without you it just doesn’t seem right
Oh, where are you tonight?

Don’t pay the ferryman - Chris de Burgh


only registered users can see external links


It was late at night on the open road,
Speeding like a man on the run,
A lifetime spent preparing for the journey;

He is closer now and the search is on,
Reading from a map in the mind,
Yes there's the ragged hill,
And there's the boat on the river.
And when the rain came down,
He heard a wild dog howl,
There were voices in the night - "Don't do it!"
Voices out of sight - "Don't do it!
Too many men have failed before,
Whatever you do,

Don't pay the ferryman,
Don't even fix a PRICE,
Don't pay the ferryman,
Until he gets you to the other side;"
In the rolling mist, then he gets on board,
Now there'll be no turning back,
Beware that hooded old man at the rudder,
And then the lightning flashed, and the thunder roared,
And people calling out his name,
And dancing bones that jabbered and a-moaned
On the water. And then the ferryman said,
"There is trouble ahead,
So you must pay me now," - "Don't do it!"
"You must pay me now," - "Don't do it!"
And still that voice came from beyond,
"Whatever you do,

Don't pay the ferryman,
Don't even fix a price,
Don't pay the ferryman,
Until he gets you to the other side;

Don't pay - the ferryman!"

See me ride out of the sunset

And women to the right
Ain't got no gun

Lock up your wife
Lock up your back door

Bon Jovi, WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE

t's all the same, only the names will change
Every day, it seems we're wastin' away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I'd drive all night just to get back home
I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
The people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day by the bottle that you drink
And times when you're alone, well, all you do is think
I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive
Wanted (wanted), dead or alive
Oh, and I ride
Yeah
Oh, I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive
And I walk these streets, a LOADED six-string on my back
I play for keeps 'cause I might not make it back
I've been everywhere, still I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
'Cause I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive
'Cause I'm a cowboy
I got the night on my side
And I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive
And I ride (and I ride), dead or alive
I still drive (I still drive), dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive

Great choice

Take It Easy - Eagles

Well, I'm a-running down the road
Tryin' to loosen my LOAD
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that wanna own me
Two that wanna stone me
One says she's a friend of mine

Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy

Well, I'm a-standing on a corner
In Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord
In a flat-bed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me

Come on, baby
Don't say "Maybe"
I gotta know
If your sweet love
Is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win
Though we will never be here again
So open up, I'm climbin' in
So take it easy

Well, I'm running down the road
Trying to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover
Who won't blow my cover
She's so hard to find

Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy
Come on, baby
Don't say "Maybe"
I gotta know
If your sweet love
Is gonna save me

Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy

The Weight! Great choice!

Rhinestone Cowboy - Glen Campbell

only registered users can see external links

I've been walkin' these streets so long
Singin' the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Where hustle's the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow in the rain
There's been a LOAD of compromising
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone
Well, I really don't mind the rain
And the smile can hide all the pain
But you're down when you're ridin' the train that's takin' the long way
And I dream of the things I'll do
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
There'll be a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know
Like a rhinestone cowboy

The Ballad of Frankie Lee & Judas Priest (Bob Dylan)

only registered users can see external links

Well, Frankie Lee and Judas Priest
They were the best of friends
So when Frankie Lee needed money one day
Judas quickly pulled out a roll of tens
And placed them on a footstool
Just above the plotted plain
Sayin', “Take your pick, Frankie Boy
My loss will be your gain”

Well, Frankie Lee, he sat right down
And put his fingers to his chin
But with the cold eyes of Judas on him
His head began to spin
“Could ya please not stare at me like that?,” he said
“It’s just my foolish pride
But sometimes a man must be alone
And this is no place to hide”

Well, Judas, he just winked and said
“Alright, I’ll leave you here
But you’d better hurry up and choose which of those bills you want
Before they all disappear”
“I’m gonna start my pickin' right now
Just tell me where you’ll be”
Judas pointed down the road
And said, “Eternity!”

“Eternity?” said Frankie Lee
With a voice as cold as ice
“That’s right,” said Judas, “Eternity
Though you might call it ‘Paradise’”
“I don’t call it anything”
Said Frankie Lee with a smile
“All right,” said Judas Priest
“I’ll see you after a while”

Well, Frankie Lee, he sat back down
Feeling low and mean
When just then a passin' stranger
Burst upon the scene
Saying, “Are you Frankie Lee, the gambler
Whose father's deceased?
Well, if you are, there’s a fellow callin' you down the road
And they say his name is Priest”

“Oh, yes, he is my friend”
Said Frankie Lee in fright
“I do recall him very well
In fact, he just left my sight”
“Yes, that’s the one,” said the stranger
As quiet as a mouse
“Well, my message is, he’s down the road
Stranded in a house”

Well, Frankie Lee, he panicked
He dropped everything and ran
Until he came up to the spot
Where Judas Priest did stand
“What kind of house is this,” he said
“Where I have come to roam?”
“It’s not a house,” says Judas Priest
“It’s not a house, it’s a home”

Well, Frankie Lee, he trembled
He soon lost all control
Over ev’rything which he had made
While the mission bells did toll
He just stood there staring
At that big house as bright as any sun
With four and twenty windows
And a woman’s face in ev’ry one

Well, up the stairs ran Frankie Lee
With a soulful, bounding leap
And, foaming at the mouth
He began to make his midnight creep
For sixteen nights and days he raved
But on the seventeenth he burst
Into the arms of Judas Priest
Which is where he died of thirst

No one tried to say a thing
When they carried him out in jest
Except, of course, the little neighbor boy
Who carried him to rest
And he just walked along, alone
With his guilt so well concealed
And muttered underneath his breath
“Nothing is revealed”

Well, the moral of this story
The moral of this song
Is simply that one should never be
Where one does not belong
So when you see your neighbor carrying somethin'
Help him with his LOAD
And don’t go mistaking Paradise
For that home across the road

Rest Your Love On Me ~ CONWAY TWITTY

Maybe you don't know me any more than I know you
And I wouldn't blame you if you walked away
I've been watching you all evening with those teardrops in your eyes
And it touches me much more that I can say

You know I hate to think that someone
Could have hurt someone like you
And if I was him I'd be right by your side

Lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me a while
Lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me a while

Saw you in the corner from the moment I walked in
Saw your lonely face across the room
No I won't forget you and the way it could have been
Why'd you have to leave so soon

You know I hate to think there's someone
You loved instead of me
'Cause at times like this
I'd be right by your side

Lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me a while
Lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me a while

Lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me a while
Lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me a while

When YOUR Lover Has Gone by Frank Sinatra (written by Einar Aaron Swan)

only registered users can see external links

What good is the scheming, the planning and dreaming
That comes with each new love affair?
The love that you cherish so often may perish
And leave you with castles in air

When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies?
When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn, there is no sunrise
When YOUR lover has gone

What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
When YOUR lover has gone

I ❤️ this tune!
