Silver Box Set

(words & music by linde)
Lord almighty,
I feel my temperature rising
Higher higher
It's burning through to my soul

Girl, girl, girl
You gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go

Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love

Ooh, ooh, ooh,
I feel my temperature rising
Help me, i'm flaming
I must be a hundred and nine
Burning, burning, burning
And nothing can cool me
I just might turn into smoke
But i feel fine

Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like a sweet song of a choir
And you light my morning sky
With burning love

It's coming closer
The flames are reaching my body
Please won't you help me
I feel like i'm slipping away
It's hard to breath
And my chest is a-heaving

Lord almighty,
I'm burning a hole where i lay
Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
With burning love
Ah, ah, burning love
I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love

(words & music by scott davis)
As the snow flies
On a cold and gray chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto

People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
Are we too blind to see,
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way

Well the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto

And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto

Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car,
Tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto

As her young man dies,
On a cold and gray chicago mornin',
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto

(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.

(words & music by wise - starr)
Datin' is a game that grown-ups play
Datin' means acting in a silly way
Datin' makes girls start wiggle walking
Datin' makes a guy start baby talking

Dizzy like children on a merry-go-round
Grown-ups are the biggest kids i've found
You'd think they belong in a baby carriage
They're doing things that lead to marriage
But don't you laugh at what they do, oh no
'cause some day you'll be datin' too

Datin' makes a guy comb his hair just right
His girl can mess it up when they kiss good-night
Datin' makes you quarrel and say you'll break up
And just because it's so much fun to make up

Children can't wait to grow up but then
They're datin and they're acting like kids again
You'd think they belong in a baby carriage
They're doing things that lead to marriage
But don't you laugh at what they do, oh no
Some day you'll be datin' too

(words & music by batchelor - roberts)
Thanks to the rolling, rolling, rolling, thanks to the rolling sea
Thanks to the rolling, rolling, rolling, thanks to the rolling sea
Fish on the table and fish on the fire, fried fish hanging on the tree
Everything here that your heart desires, thanks to the rolling sea
Thanks to the rolling sea

Living is good and living is fine, we're happy as can be
We owe all this to the salty brine, thanks to the rolling sea
Thanks to the rolling sea

We work all day but our hearts are gay, and while we work we sing
The mighty sea is good to us and we've got everything
Abalone steaks and tuna fish cakes, taste so heavenly
We know who we owe it to, thanks to the rolling sea
Thanks to the rolling, rolling, rolling, thanks to the rolling sea
Thanks to the rolling, rolling, rolling, thanks to the rolling sea
Thanks to the rolling, rolling, rolling, thanks to the rolling sea
Thanks to the rolling, rolling, rolling, thanks to the rolling sea

(words & music by james - tyrell)
I see the the sunlight in her hair
I feel the warm smile that she wears
She has no recipe for love
But i just can't get enough

From the distance of my mind
Clock that's ringing says it's time
Wake up to my destiny
It's time to face reality

It's only love that i feel inside
But i'll get by somehow
It's only love, there must be something else for me girl

I tell myself that it's not real
There's nothing left for me to feel
I'll just be going on my way
Tomorrow brings another day

Only love that i feel inside
But i've got to be strong
My mind's made up, it's only love

But i know i'll get by, take my heart and my pride
And just throw it aside
It's only love

It's only love, it's only love, it's only love
It's only love
It's only love

(words & music by anka - francois - revaux)
And now the end is near
So i face the final curtain
My friend, i'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which i'm certain

I've lived a life that's full
I've traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets, i've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what i had to do
And saw it through without exception

I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
Oh, and more, much more than this
I did it my way

Yes, there were times, i'm sure you know
When i bit off more than i could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and i stood tall
And did it my way

I've loved, i've laughed and cried
I've had my fails, my share of losing
And now as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think i did all that
And may i say, not in a shy way
Oh, no, no not me
I did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got
If not himself, then he has not
To say the words he truly feels
And not the words he would reveal
The record shows i took the blows
And did it my way
The record shows i took the blows
And did it my way

(words & music by lewis - burns)
I am the king of the jungle
They call me the tiger man
I am the king of the jungle
They call me tiger man
If you cross my path
You take your own life in your hands

Yeah, i get up on a mountain
And i call my black cat back
Yeah, i get up on a mountain
And i call my black cat back
My black cat comes a runnin'
And the hound dogs get way back

Yeah, i get up on a mountain
And i call my black cat back
Yeah, i get up on a mountain
And i call my black cat back
My black cat comes a runnin'
And the hound dogs get way back

Yeah, i get up on a mountain
And i call my black cat back
Yeah, i get up on a mountain
And i call my black cat back
My black cat comes a runnin'
And the hound dogs get way back

(why me lord? what have i ever done
To deserve even one of the pleasures i've known
Tell me lord what did i ever do to deserve loving you
And the kindness you've shown)

Now that i know that i needed you so
Help me jesus, my soul's in your hands

All i've taken from you

What i've been through myself
On my way back to you)

Now that i know that i needed you so
Help me jesus my soul's in your hands
Jesus my soul's in your hands

(words & music by jerry chesnut)
I play an old piano from nine till a half past one
Tryin' to make a livin' watchin' everybody have fun
Well, i don't miss much that ever happens on a dance hall floor
Mercy, look what just walked through that door

Well, hello t-r-0-u-b-l-e
What in the world you're doin' a-l-o-n-e?
Say, good l-double o-k-i-n-g
I smell t-r-o-u-b-l-e

I was a little bitty baby when my papa hit the skids
Mama had a time tryin' to raise nine kids
Told me not to stare 'cause it was impolite
And did the best she could to try to raise me right

But mama never told me 'bout nothing like y-o-u
Say, your mama must have been another something or the other too
Say, hello good l-double o-k-i-n-g
I smell t-r-o-u-b-l-e

Well, you talk about a woman i've seen a lot of others
But too much something' and not enough another
You've got it all together like a lovin' machine
Lookin' like glory and walkin' like a dream

Mother nature's sure been good to y-o-u
Well, your mama must have been another good lookin' too
Say, hey, good l-double o-k-i-n-g
I smell t-r-o-u-b-l-e

Well, you talk about a trouble-makin' hunka pokey bait,
The men are gonna love and all the women gonna hate
Reminding them of everything they never gonna be
Maybe the beginning of the world war iii
Oh, the world ain't ready for nothin' like a y-o-u
Well, i bet your mama must have been another something or the other too

Say hey good l-double o-k-i-n-g
I smell t-r-o-u-b-l-e

(words & music by d. bartholomew - p. king)
One night with you
Is what i'm now praying for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true

Just call my name
And i'll be right by your side
I want your sweet helping hand
My loves too strong to hide

Always lived, very quiet life
I ain't never did no wrong
Now i know that life without you
Has been too lonely too long

One night with you
Is what i'm now praying for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true

(words & music by ewan maccoll)
The first time ever i saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies my love
To the dark and the empty skies

The first time ever i kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like a trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love
That was there at my command

Hoa hoa hoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh hoa hoa hoa
Oh hoa hoa hoa hoa hoa hoa
That was there at my command my love
That was there at my command

The first time ever i kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands

Oh hoa hoa hoa hoa hoa hoa
That was there at my command my love

Where will i go, who will i have to lie beside me
Is it something that's inside me

Tried so hard each time, each time i just can't make it
Feelin' fast vibrations and i just can't take it
Living from day to day, chasing the dream
I'm, i'm leavin

Oh lord my god when i in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds thy hands have made
I see the stars, i hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed
When christ shall come
With shout of acclamation
To take me home
What joy shall fill my heart
Then i shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim my god how great thou art
Then sings my soul my savior god to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
Then sings my soul my savior god to thee
How great thou art how great thou art

(words & music by george weiss - hugo peretti - luigi creatore)
Wise men say only fools rush in
But i can't help falling in love with you
Shall i stay
Would it be a sin
If i can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For i can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For i can't help falling in love with you
For i can't help falling in love with you

Well, i've got a woman
Way cross town
She's good to me oh, yeah
Say. i've got a woman
Way cross town
She's good to me oh, yeah

She's here in the morning,
Loving me
Yeah, she's a kind of friend to me

She says she love me early in the morning
Just for me
Oh, yeah you know she loves me
Oh, naturally

She's there to love me both day and night
No groans or fusses, treats me right
Never running in the street
Loving me alone
She knows a woman's place is around home at night

Well, she's my baby
And i'm her loving man

(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 otis blackwell - elvis presley)
A well i bless my soul
What's wrong with me?
I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy tree
My friends say i'm actin' wild as a bug
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!

My hands are shaky and my knees are weak
I can't seem to stand on my own two feet
Who do you thank when you have such luck?
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!

Please don't ask me what's on my mind
I'm a little mixed up, but i'm feelin' fine
When i'm near that girl that i love best
My heart beats so it scares me to death!

She touched my hand what a chill i got
Her lips are like a vulcano that's hot
I'm proud to say she's my buttercup
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!

My tongue get tied when i try to speak
My insides shake like a leaf on a tree
There's only one cure for this body of mine
That's to have the girl that i love so fine!

(words & music by sid wayne - bix reichner)
Oh, oh, i love you so
Uh, uh, can't let you go
Ooh, ooh, don't tell me no
I need your love tonight

Oh, gee, the way you kiss
Sweedee, too good to miss
Wow-whee, want more of this
I need your love tonight

I've been waiting just for tonight
To do some lovin' and hold you tight
Don't tell me baby you gotta go
I got the hifi high and the lights down low

Hey, now, hear what i say
Oh, wow, you better stay
Pow, pow, don't run away
I need your love tonight

(words & music by mann - weil)
You never close your eyes
Anymore when i kiss your lips
There's no tenderness
Like before in you fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it,
But baby, baby i know it

You've lost that lovin' feelin', oh that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin', now it's gone, gone, gone

There's no tenderness in your eyes
When i reach out for you
Girl, you're starting to criticize
Every little thing i do
It makes me just feel like crying
'cause baby, something beautiful's dying

You've lost that lovin' feelin', oh that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin', now it's gone, gone, gone

Baby, baby, i get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me like you used to do
We had a love, love, love, love affair every day
Oh don't, don't, don't, don't take it away
Listen to me, talkin' to you

Bring back that lovin' feelin, oh, that lovin' feelin'
Bring back that lovin' feelin, now it's gone, gone, gone
And i can't go on

(words & music by billy hayes - jay johnson)
I'll have a blue christmas without you
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green christmas tree
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me

And when those blue snowflakes start falling
That's when those blue memories start calling
You'll be doin' all right, with your christmas of white
But i'll have a blue, blue blue blue christmas

(instrumental break)

You'll be doin' all right, with your christmas of white,
But i'll have a blue, blue christmas

Well hello there,

It's been so long now and it seems that
It was only yesterday
Mmm, ain't it funny how time slips away

How's your new love,
I hope that he's doin' fine
Heard you told him, yes baby
That you'd love him till the end of time
Well you know, that's the same thing
That you told me
Well it seems like just the other day
Mmm, ain't it funny how time slips away

Gotta go now,
Guess i'll see you hanging round
Don't know when though, oh
Never know when i'll be back in town
But i remember what i told you

Well lawdy, lawdy, lawdy miss clawdy

So, bye, bye, bye baby
Girl, i won't be comin' no more
Goodbye little darlin' down the road i'll go

(words & music by john lennon - paul mccartney)
Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh i believe in yesterday

Suddenly
I don't have the laugh
I used to weep
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday, came suddenly

Why'd she have to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now i long for yesterday

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now i need a place to hide away
Oh, i believe in yesterday

(words & music by lee)
I'll remember you
Long after this endless summer has gone
I'll be lonely oh so lonely
Living only to remember you

I'll remember too
Your voice as soft as the warm summer breeze
Your sweet laughter, mornings after
Ever after, i'll remember you

To your arms someday i'll return to stay
Till then i will remember too
Every bright start we made wishes upon
Love me always, promise always
Oooh, you'll remember too

I'll remember you

(words & music by tony joe white)
Some of you all never been down south too much...
I' gonna tell you a little story, so you'll understand where i'm talking about
Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods and the fields,
And it looks something like a turnip green.
Everybody calls it polk salad. now that's polk salad.
Used to know a girl that lived down there and
She'd go out in the evenings to pick a mess of it...
Carry it home and cook it for supper, 'cause that's about all they had to eat,
But they did all right.

Down in louisiana
Where the alligators grow so mean
Lived a girl that i swear to the world
Made the alligators look tame

Polk salad annie
'gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
For the mama was working on the chain-gang
What a mean, vicious woman

Everyday before suppertime
She'd go down by the truck patch
And pick her a mess of polk salad
And carry it home in a tote sack

Polk salad annie
'gators got you granny
Everybody said it was a shame
'cause the mama was working on the chain-gang
Whoo, how wretched, dispiteful, straight-razor totin' woman,
Lord have mercy.

Sock a little polk salad to him
Yeah, you know what, yeah, yeah

But daddy was a lazy and a no-count
Claimed he had a bad back
All her brothers were fit for
Was stealing watermelons out of my truck

For once polk salad annie
'gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
For the mama was working on the chain-gang

Sock a little polk salad to him
You know what meets a meal mention
You sock a little
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah
Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon
Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon
Sock a little polk salad to him
You know what meets a meal mention
Sock a little polk salad to him
You know what meets a meal mention
Chinc, chinc, chinc, chin, ling, ling ling

(words & music by fred wise - ben weisman)
Follow that dream, i gotta follow that dream
Keep a-movin, move along, keep a moving
I've got to follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
I've got to follow that dream to find the love i need

When your heart gets restless, time to move along
When your heart gets weary, time to sing a song
But when a dream is calling you,
There's just one thing that you can do

Well, you gotta follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
You gotta follow that dream to find the love you need

Keep a-movin, move along, keep a moving

Got to find me someone whose heart is free
Someone to look for my dream with me
And when i find her i may find out
Just what my dreams are all about

I've got to follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
I've got to follow that dream to find the love i need

I've got to follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
I've got to follow that dream to find the love i need

Keep a-movin, move along
Keep a-movin, move along
Keep a-movin, move along

(words & music by neil diamond)
Where it began, i can't begin to know when
But then i know it's growing strong
Oh, wasn't the spring, whooo
And spring became the summer
Who'd believe you'd come along

Hands, touching hands, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet caroline
Good times never seem so good
I've been inclined to believe it never would

And now i, i look at the night, whooo
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two, oh
And when i hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulder
How can i hurt when holding you

Oh, one, touching one, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet caroline
Good times never seem so good
Oh i've been inclined to believe it never would

Ohhh, sweet caroline, good times never seem so good

(words & music by lowell fulsom)
Well so long
Oh how i hate to see you go
Yes so long
Oh how i hate to see you go
Well the way that i will miss you
I guess you'll never know

We've been together so long
To have to separate this way
We've been together so long
To have to separate this way
Well i'm gonna let you go ahead on baby
But let you come back home some day

Play the blues boys, play the blues
One more time

You said you once had loved me
But now i guess you've changed your mind
You said you once had loved me
But now i guess you've changed your mind
Why don't you reconsider baby
Give yourself just a little more time

(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?

(words & music by jimmy reed)
We're goin' up, we're goin' down
We're goin' up, down down up
Any way you wanna let it roll

You got me doin' what you want me
Oh baby what you want me to do

You got me peepin' you got me hidin'
You got me peep hide hide peep
Any way you wanna let it roll
Yeah yeah yeah
You got me doin what you want me
Baby what you want me to do

(words & music by j. rostill)
You came when i was happy in your sunshine
I grew to love you more each passing day
Before too long i'd filled my world around you
Yeah and i prayed you loved enough of me to stay

If you love me let me know
If you don't let me go
I can't take another minute of the day without you near
If you love me let it be
If you don't set me free
Take the chains away that keep me loving you

The arms that open wide to hold me closer
The hands that run their fingers through my hair
The smile that says hello it's good to see you
Any time i turn around and find you there

It's this and so much more that makes me love you
What else can i do to make you see
You know you'll have whatever's mine to give you
Yeah but a love affair for one it can never be

If you love me let me know
If you don't let me go
I can't take another minute of the day without you near
If you love me let it be
If you don't set me free
Take the chains away that keep me loving you

Take the chains away that keep me loving you

Love me tender,
Love me sweet,
Never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
And i love you so.

Love me tender,
Love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' i love you,
And i always will.

Love me tender,
Love me long,
Take me to your heart.
For it's there that i belong,
And we'll never part.

Love me tender,
Love me dear,
Tell me you are mine.
I'll be yours through all the years,
Till the end of time.

(when at last my dreams come true
Darling this i know
Happiness will follow you
Everywhere you go).

(words & music by mark james)
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because i love you too much baby

Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word i say?

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

So, if an old friend i know
Drops by to say hello
Would i still see suspicion in your eyes?

Here we go again
Asking where i've been
You can't see these tears are real
I'm crying

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And be can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

Oh let our love survive
Or dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die

When honey, you know
I've never lied to you
Mmm yeah, yeah

A rose grows wild in the country
A tree grows tall as the sky
The wind blows wild in the country
And part of the wild, wild country, am i
Wild, wild, like the deer and the dove
Wild and free is this land that i love

A dream grows wild in the country
A love grows tall as the sky
A heart beats wild in the country
And here with a dream in my heart
Part of the wild, wild country, am i
