The (English) Beat - Mirror in the Bathroom Lyrics Mirror in the bathroom please talk free The door is locked just you and me. Can I take you to a restaurant that's got glass tables You can watch yourself while you are eating. Mirror in the bathroom I just can't stop it, Every Saturday you see me window shopping. Find no interest in the racks and shelves Just a thousand reflections of my own sweet self, self, self... Mirror in the bathroom You're my mirror in the bathroom You're my mirror in the bathroom You're my mirror in the bathroom... Mirror in the bathroom recompense For all my crimes of self defense. Cures you whisper make no sense Drift gently into mental illness. Mirror in the bathroom please talk free The door is locked just you and me. Can I take you to a restaurant that's got glass tables You can watch yourself while you are eating. Mirror in the bathroom Mirror in the bathroom...

Swingers » Counting The Beat
I look at the sunrise I look at it burn I look into your eyes Don't know where to turn I'm gonna drift into that void I'm flying through space, I'm an asteroid Time doesn't take place when you're paranoid I'm thinking about you and nothing else Think about you, you think about me Think about you, counting the beat Thinking about you, thinking about me Thinking about just you and me la-dah-da-de, there ain't no place I'd rather be la-da-de-da, la-da-de-da, la-da-de-da... [12] I'm bleeding to death On a cloudless day A three, a four heartbeat A-waltzin' away I'm counting the beat, two-three-four-five I'm feeling the heat, glad to be alive I'm counting the beat, six-seven-eight-nine I'm wishing that you, that you were mine Think about you, you think about me Think about you, counting the beat Thinking about you, thinking about me Thinking about you, thinking about me thinking about you ? think about, just you and me la-dah-da-de, there ain't no place I'd rather be la-da-de-da, la-da-de-da, la-da-de-da...

Before the Next Teardrop Falls Vivian Keith - Ben Peters recorded by Freddy Fender (1937-2006) Country #1 / Pop #1
If he brings you happiness then I wish you both the best It's your happiness that matters most of all But if he ever breaks your heart If the teardrops ever start I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
Site guierres deverdad Yteda felicdad Tedeseo lomas bueno Para lod dos Perosi theace llorar Amime puedes hablar Estare contigo cuando triste estar
I'll be there anytime you need me by your side To drive away every teardrop that you cry And if he ever leaves you blue Just remember I love you And I'll be there before the next teardrop falls And I'll be there before the next teardrop falls

from LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, the musical version:
[ORIN] When I was younger, just a bad little kid My mama noticed funny things I did Like shooting puppies with a B.B. gun I'd poison guppies and when I was done I'd find a purrycat and bash in its head That's when my mama said
[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON] What did she say?
[ORIN] She said, "My boy, I think someday You'll find a way to make your natural tendencies pay
You'll be a dentist You have a talent for causing things pain Son, be a dentist People will pay you to be inhumane Your temperament's wrong for the priesthood And teaching would suit you still less Son, be a dentist You'll be a success
[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON] Here he is, folks the leader of the plaque! Watch him suck up that gas! Oh, my god! He's a dentist and he'll never ever be any good Who wants their teeth done by the Marquis de Sade? Oh that hurts! I'm not numb!
[ORIN] Oh, shut up. Open wide. here I come! I am your dentist
[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON] Goodness gracious!
[ORIN] And I enjoy the career that I picked I am your dentist
[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON] Fitting braces
[ORIN] And I get off on the pain I inflict When I start extracting those molars You girls will be screaming like holy rollers
[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON] Dentist!
[ORIN] And though it may cause my patients distress Somewhere in heaven above me, I know that my mama's proud of me 'Cause I'm a dentist- and a success Say ah! Now spit.

From Chitty Chitty Bang Bang:
Me Ol' Bam-Boo
All: A gentleman's got a walking stick. A seaman's got a gaff. And the merry men of Robin Hood They used a quarterstaff. On the Spanish plains inside their canes They hide their ruddy swords. But we make do with an old bam-boo And everyone applauds! 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - Hey! Me ol' bam-boo, me ol' bam-boo You'd better never bother with me ol' bam-boo. You can have me hat or me bum-ber-shoo But you'd better never bother with me ol' bam-boo.
Chorus: When punting on the beautiful Thames
Caractacus: You use a sturdy pole.
Chorus: To protect their fair complexion
Caractacus: Ladies use a parasol.
Chorus: It's useful in the underbrush
Caractacus: To have a hefty spear.
Chorus: Right!
All: But what we do with an old bam-boo Makes everybody cheer! 1 - 2 - 3 - HO! Me ol' bam-boo, me ol' bam-boo You'd better never bother with me ol' bam-boo You can have me hat or me bum-ber-shoo But you'd better never bother with me ol' bam-boo 'Ere we go, mate . . .
Caractacus: A flyer in an air-e-o-plane
Chorus: He steers it with a stick
Caractacus: He does?
Caractacus: A collier in the pits o' Wales
Chorus: He leans upon his pick
Caractacus: That's right!
All: Now every wheel of an automobile Revolves around a shaft (HEY!) But what we do with an old bam-boo Makes every one go daft. And 1 - 2 Me ol' bam-boo, me ol' bam-boo You'd better never bother with me ol' bam-boo. You can have me hat or me bum-ber-shoo But you'd better never bother with me ol' bam-boo. (Dance break) 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - HEY! And a 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - and a 5 and a 6 and a 7 HO! Me ol' bam-boo, me ol' bam-boo You'd better never bother with me ol' bam-boo. You can have me hat or me bum-ber-shoo But you'd better never bother with me ol' bam-boo. You'd better never bother with me ol' bam-boo!

"The Nest" by Jimmie Spheeris, 1971
come to me now - dove on your shoulder white flame of love burns on your breath I am ready for flight oh my wings are so ripe come wake me take me from the nest
the scarlet ships sail sacred oceans where tides of love have laid to rest quiet water by night oh my sails are so ripe come wake me take me from the nest
and weave your beauty fire lacing thru me trip the light and know that I am waiting for you
unlock the treasure of stolen pleasure breathe in the light that blinds the pain that we once knew wake me take me
come to me now - dove on your shoulder white flame of love burns on your breath I am ready for flight oh my wings are so ripe come wake me take me from the nest from the nest

(To be sung like marching music)
Attack of the killer tomatoes! Attack of the killer tomatoes! They'll beat you, bash you, Squish you, mash you, Chew you up for brunch, And finish you off, for dinner and lunch! They're marching down the halls They're crawling up the walls They're gooey, gushy, squishy, mushy, Rotten to the core They're standing outside your door! Remember Herman Farbage While taking out his garbage He turned around and he did see, Tomatoes hiding in his tree, Now he's just a memory I know I'm going to miss her A tomato ate my sister Sacramento fell today, They're marching in to San Jose Tomatoes are on their way The mayor is on vacation The governers fled the nation The police have gone on strike today, The national guard has run away Tomatoes will have their day! Attack of the killer tomatoes! Attack of the killer tomatoes! They'll beat you, smash you, Squish you, bash you, Serve you up for brunch, And finish you off, for dinner and lunch-lunch-lunch Dinner or lunch-lunch-lunch Dinner or luuuuuuuunch.

Oompa Loompa
Lyrics: Leslie Bricusse Music: Anthony Newley Vocals: The Oompa Loompas
Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do I have a perfect puzzle for you Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-dee If you are wise, you'll listen to me
What do you get when you guzzle down sweets? Eating as much as an elephant eats What are you at getting terribly fat? What do you think will come of that?
I don't like the look of it
Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-da If you're not greedy, you will go far You will live in happiness too Like the Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do Doopade do
Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do I have another puzzle for you Oompa Loompa doom-pa-da-dee If you are wise, you'll listen to me
Gum chewing's fine when it's once in a while It stops you from smoking and brightens your smile But it's repulsive, revolting, and wrong Chewing and chewing all day long
The way that a cow does
Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-da Given good manners, you will go far You will live in happiness too Like the Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do
Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do I have another puzzle for you Oompa Loompa doom-pa-da-dee If you are wise, you'll listen to me
Who do you blame when your kid is a brat? Pampered and spoiled like a Siamese cat Blaming the kids is a lie and a shame You know exactly who's to blame
The mother and the father
Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-da If you're not spoiled, then you will go far You will live in happiness too Like the Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do
Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do I have another puzzle for you Oompa Loompa doom-pa-da-dee If you are wise you'll listen to me
What do you get from a glut of TV? A pain in the neck and an IQ of three Why don't you try simply reading a book? Or can you just not bear to look?
You'll get no... you'll get no... you'll get no commercials
Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-da If you're not greedy, you will go far You will live in happiness too Like the Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do
from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971)

Rhythm of the Falling Rain Recorded by the Cascades Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain, Telling me just what a fool I've been. I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain, And let me be alone again.
Now the only girl I've ever loved has gone away. Looking for a brand new start! But little does she know that when she left that day. Along with her she took my heart.
Rain, please tell me, now does that seem fair For her to steal my heart away when she don't care I can't love another, when my heart's somewhere far away.
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain, Telling me just what a fool I've been. I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain, And let me be alone again.
Interlude
Rain, won't you tell her that I love her so Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow Rain in her heart and let the love we know start to grow.
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain, Telling me just what a fool I've been. I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain, And let me be alone again.
Oh listen to the falling rain Pitter patter pitter patter, Oh Listen, listen to the falling rain Pitter patter pitter patter, Oh Listen, listen to the falling rain Pitter patter pitter patter

Theme from Rawhide Written by Ned Washington and Dimitri Tiomkin Vocals by Frankie Laine
Rollin', rollin', rollin' Rollin', rollin', rollin' Rollin', rollin', rollin' Rollin', rollin', rollin' Rawhide!
Rollin', rollin', rollin' Though the streams are swollen Keep them dogies rollin' Rawhide! Rain and wind and weather Hell-bent for leather Wishin' my gal was by my side. All the things I'm missin', Good vittles, love, and kissin', Are waiting at the end of my ride
CHORUS Move 'em on, head 'em up Head 'em up, move 'em on Move 'em on, head 'em up Rawhide Count 'em out, ride 'em in, Ride 'em in, count 'em out, Count 'em out, ride 'em in Rawhide!
Keep movin', movin', movin' Though they're disapprovin' Keep them dogies movin' Rawhide! Don't try to understand 'em Just rope, throw, and brand 'em Soon we'll be living high and wide. My hearts calculatin' My true love will be waitin', Be waitin' at the end of my ride.
Rawhide! Rawhide!
(I hope trail boss Gill Favor found his true love. In the episodes I saw after the death of his first wife he tought he found a new love [and mother for his daughter and son] but she married another man while he was gone.)

You're Too Possessive
(Joan Jett, also done by the Runaways, which i just found out)
Let me out of your iron grip I don't want your lover's tips I don't need your interrogations Don't ask me 'bout my other relations
You're too possessive for me So leave me alone Get off my back, go on home You're too possessive for me So get out of my life Get off my back, I ain't your wife
I come in late an' you throw a fit You sit me down and give me some lip Well I don't have to waste my time A wimp like you ain't worth a dime
You're too possessive for me So leave me alone Get off my back, go on home You're too possessive for me So get out of my life Get off my back, I ain't your wife No way, baby
Go away an' don't come back I don't want my mirror cracked Go and find somebody new Got no time to mess with you
You're too possessive for me So leave me alone Get off my back, go on home You're too possessive for me So get out of my life Get off my back, I ain't your wife No way, baby

POW 369
lyrics and music by Steven Dale Jones recorded by Darryl Worley, from "I Miss My Friend" (2002) & "Have You Forgotten" (2003)
I was flying down the highway Weaving in and out of traffic I was racing time An old man pulled out in front of me And I went crazy as can be I lost my mind I blew my horn till I got close enough to see And what was on his car-tag sure convicted me
POW 369 I should salute you from this heart of mine And thank you for placing your life on the line For me, I'm free I pray that the rest of your journey is a peaceful one And may you take your own sweet time Mr. POW 369
The things we take for granted In this life we lead are tragic We should be ashamed He left his home and family And cast his fate across the sea Would we do the same? Well I sure bet he's got some stories he could tell Ain't that many ever made it back from hell
POW 369 I should salute you from this heart of mine And thank you for placing your life on the line For me, I'm free I pray that the rest of your journey is a peaceful one And may you take your own sweet time Mr. POW 369
Let me thank you one more time Mr. POW 369

Artist: Lyrics Song: Underdog Lyrics
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here.
When criminals in this world appear, And break the laws that they should fear, And frighten all who see or hear, The cry goes up both far and near for Underdog, Underdog, Underdog, Underdog.
Speed of lightning, roar of thunder, Fighting all who rob or plunder Underdog, Underdog.
When in this world the headlines read Of those who's hearts are filled with greed And rob and steal from those in need. To right this wrong with blinding speed goes Underdog, Underdog, Underdog, Underdog.
Speed of lightning, roar of thunder, Fighting all who rob or plunder Underdog, Underdog.

Dirty Creature come my way from the bottom of a big black lake Shuffles up to my window making sure I'm awake S'probably gonna pick my brain Got me in a vice-like grip He said one slip, your dead. Ha.
Dirty Creature of habit, Little horror here to stay Anyone in his right mind would tell it to go away But the river of dread runs deep, full of unspeakable things The creature don't mess around I don't wanna mess with him
I don't wanna sail, I don't wanna sail I don't wanna, I don't wanna sail tonight Dirty Creature's got me at a disadvantage from the inside.
Tentacles on the brain keep me from falling asleep I'm rooted to the spot, The beast don't know when to stop Sneaking up from behind, Binds and gags my wits Dirty Creature got my head exactly where he wants it
I don't wanna sail, I don't wanna sail, I don't wanna, I don't wanna sail tonight, Taniwha is waiting for me just below the surface so bright (Yeah-eah-eah-eah) Even as we speak the Dirty Creature springs a nasty surprise.
Dirty Creature knows my type found it in a magazine He's seen the look of fear before splattered all over the screen The animal magnet thug draws me out of myself I need a dragon-slayer who can save me from myself
I don't wanna sail, I don't wanna sail, I don't wanna set sail for the middle of nowhere tonight Dirty Creature's got me at a disadvantage from the inside (Yeah-eah-eah-eah-eah) I don't wanna sail upon the waters of invention tonight

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance by Burt Bacharach and Hal David Top ten hit for Gene Pitney also recorded by James Taylor also recorded by The Royal Guardsmen
When Liberty Valance rode to town the womenfolk would hide, they'd hide When Liberty Valance walked around the men would step aside 'cause the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood When it came to shootin' straight and fast---he was mighty good.
From out of the East a stranger came, a law book in his hand, a man The kind of a man the West would need to tame a troubled land 'cause the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood When it came to shootin' straight and fast---he was mighty good.
Many a man would face his gun and many a man would fall The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance He was the bravest of them all.
The love of a girl can make a man stay on when he should go, stay on Just tryin' to build a peaceful life where love is free to grow But the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood When the final showdown came at last, a law book was no good.
Alone and afraid she prayed that he'd return that fateful night, aww that night When nothin' she said could keep her man from goin' out to fight From the moment a girl gets to be full-grown the very first thing she learns When two men go out to face each other only one retur-r-r-ns
Everyone heard two shots ring out, a shot made Liberty fall The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance He was the bravest of them all.
The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance He was the bravest of them all.

i'm not a big fan of hers, but i do like these lyrics- it's hard to thank the bad things in life, but i've found that good things usually follow.
Alanis Morissette - Thank You Lyrics
How bout getting off of these antibiotics How bout stopping eating when I'm full up How bout them transparent dangling carrots How bout that ever elusive kudo
Thank you India Thank you terror Thank you disillusionment Thank you frailty Thank you consequence Thank you thank you silence
How bout me not blaming you for everything How bout me enjoying the moment for once How bout how good it feels to finally forgive you How bout grieving it all one at a time
Thank you India Thank you terror Thank you disillusionment Thank you frailty Thank you consequence Thank you thank you silence
The moment I let go of it was The moment I got more than I could handle The moment I jumped off of it was The moment I touched down
How bout no longer being masochistic How bout remembering your divinity How bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out How bout not equating death with stopping
Thank you India Thank you providence Thank you disillusionment Thank you nothingness Thank you clarity Thank you thank you silence
