Cry for a Shadow
(George Harrison and John Lennon)

I see you crying
See the pattern
They come and go
Leave you shattered
You've shed for so many untrue

Can you cry for a shadow?
Can you cry for a heart crying out for you?
Can you cry for a shadow?
No one asked you to

They don't deserve your priceless tears
You will whisper
Fill your ears
A reflection of a love long due

Can you cry for a shadow?
Can you cry for a heart crying out for you?
Can you cry for a shadow?
I cried for a few

Can you cry?
Dry the tears and try

Now stop crying
It doesn't matter
Just lean closer
So I can gather
Every drop of your precious tears

When you're crying for a shadow
When you're crying for a heart crying out for you
When you're crying for a shadow
Like I cried for you

Can you cry?
Dry the tears and try

Now stop your crying
It doesn't matter
Just lean closer
So I can gather
Every drop of your precious tears

When you're crying for a shadow
Crying, crying for a shadow
When you're crying for a shadow
Crying, crying
Like I cried for you

When the Saints Go Marching In
(traditional)

Oh, when the saints go marching in
Oh, when the saints go marching in
Dear Lord, I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in

Oh, when the sun refuse to shine
Oh, when the sun refuse to shine
Dear Lord I want to be in that number
When the sun refuse to shine

Oh when they crown Him Lord of all
Oh when they crown Him Lord of all
Dear Lord, I want to be in that number
When they crown Him Lord of all

Oh, when they gather 'round the throne
Oh, when they gather 'round the throne
Dear Lord, I want to be in that number
When they gather 'round the throne

Why
(Bill Crompton and Tony Sheridan)

Doo-n' doo-n' doo,
Doo-n' doo-n' doo,
Doo-n' doo-n' doo doo ooh.
Why, why can't you love me again?
Why, why are you shamed of love?
If you only knew how much i love you,
Why can't you love me again?

Why, why don't you open your heart?
Why, why are we so far apart?
If you only knew how much i love you,
Why can't you love me again?

I just want your lovin' arms about me, yeah,
I've gotta find a way to make you take me back,
Baby, won't you tell me
Why, why, why, why are we so far apart?

Why, why don't you open your heart?
If you only knew how much i love you,
Why can't you love me again?
I just want your lovin' arms about me, yeah,

I've gotta find a way to make you take me back,
Baby, won't you tell me
Why, why, why, why are we so far apart?
Why, why don't you open your heart?

If you only knew how much i love you,
Why can't you love me,
Why can't you love me,
Why can't you love me again?

If You Love Me, Baby
(Charles Singleton and Waldenese Hall)

If you leave me, baby
I don't know what I'll do
I guess I would die, sweetheart
If I don't get a kiss from you

Take out some insurance on me, baby
Take out some insurance on me, baby
Well, if you ever, ever say goodbye
I'm gonna go right home and die

Oh, if you want me, baby
You've gotta come to me
Mm, I'm just like a stump in a field
You just can't move me

Take out some insurance on me, baby
Ooh, some insurance on me, baby
Well, if you ever, ever say goodbye
I'm gonna go right home and die

Well, if you want me, baby
Mm, you've gotta come to me
I'm just like a stump in a field
You just can't move me

Well, if you want me, baby
Mm, you've gotta come to me
I'm just like a stump in a field
You just can't move me

Well, if you leave me, baby
I don't know what I'll do
I guess I would die, sweetheart
If I don't get a kiss from you

Take out some insurance on me, baby
Mm, some god damned insurance on me, baby
If you ever, ever say goodbye
I'm gonna go right home and die

What'd I Say
(Ray Charles)

Sweet Georgia Brown
(Maceo Pinkard, Kenneth Casey and Ben Bernie)

No gal made has got a shade
On sweet Georgia Brown
Two left feet, oh, so neat
Has sweet Georgia Brown!
They all sigh, and want to die
For sweet Georgia Brown!
I'll tell you just why
You know I don't lie, not much:
It's been said she knocks 'em dead
When she lands in town!
Since she came, why it's a shame
How she cools them down!
Fellas she can't get
Must be fellas she ain't met!
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her
Sweet Georgia Brown!

No gal made has got a shade
On sweet Georgia Brown
Two left feet, oh, so neat
Has sweet Georgia Brown!
They all sigh, and want to die
For sweet Georgia Brown!
I'll tell you just why
You know I don't lie; not much:
All those gifts those courters give
To sweet Georgia Brown
They buy clothes at fashion shows
With one dollar down
Oh, boy! tip your hat!
Oh, joy! she's the cat!
Who's that, mister? 'tain't a sister!
Sweet Georgia Brown!

Nobody's Child
(Mel Foree and Cy Coben)

As I was slowly passing
An orphan's home one day
I stopped for just a little while
To watch the children play
Alone a boy was standing
And when I asked him why
He turned with eyes that could not see
And he began to cry

I'm nobody's child
I'm nobody's child
Just like the flowers
I'm growing wild
I got no mummy's kisses
I got no daddy's smile
Nobody wants me
I'm nobody's child

No mummy's arms to hold me
Or sue me when I cry
'cos sometimes I feel so lonesome
I wish that I could die
I'll walk the streets of heaven
Where all blinds can see

And just like for the other kids
It will be a home for me

Ready Teddy
(Robert Blackwell and John Marascalco)

Ready, set, go man go
I got a girl that I love so

I'm ready, ready, ready Teddy [x3]
I'm ready, ready, ready to rock and roll

Going to the corner, pick up my sweetie pie
She's my rock and roll, baby, she's the apple of my eye

All the flat top cats and all the dungaree dolls
Are headed for the gym to the sock hop ball
The joint is really jumping, the cats are going wild
The music really sends me, I dig that crazy style

Going to kick off my shoes, roll up my faded jeans
Grab my rock and roll, baby, pour on the steam
I shuffle to the left, I shuffle to the right
Going to rock and roll to the early, early night

Ya Ya (Parts 1 & 2)
(Lee Dorsey and Morgan Robinson)

Kansas City
(Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller)

I'm going to Kansas City
Kansas City here I come
I'm going to Kansas City
Kansas City here I come
They got some crazy little women there and I'm gonna get me one

I'm gonna be standing on the corner
12th Street and Vine
I'm gonna be standing on the corner
12th Street and Vine

With my Kansas City Baby and a bottle of Kansas City wine

Well I might take a plane I might take a train
But if I have to walk I'm going just the same
I'm going to Kansas City
Kansas City here I come
They got some crazy little women
There and I'm gonna get me one
