"Baubles, Bangles And Beads"

"Baubles, Bangles And Beads"


Baubles, bangles,
Hear how they jing, jing-a-ling-a,
Baubles, bangles,
Bright, shiny beads.
Sparkles, spangles,
My heart will sing, sing-a-ling-a,

Wearing baubles, bangles and beads.
I'll glitter and gleam so,
Make somebody dream so,
That someday he may buy me,
A ring, ring-aling-a,
I've heard that's where it leads,
Wearing baubles and bangles and beads.

"Bella Notte"

"Bella Notte"


Oh this is the night
It's a beautiful night
And we call it bella notte
Look at the skies
They have stars in their eyes
On this lovely bella notte
Side by side with your loved one
You will find the enchantment here
The night will weave its magic spell
When the one you love is near, oh
This is the night
And the heavens all rise
On this lovely bella notte

This is the night
It's a beautiful night
And we call it bella notte
Look at the skies
They have stars in their eyes
On this lovely bella notte
Side by side with your loved one
You will find the enchantment here
The night will weave its magic spell
When the one you love is near, oh
This is the night
And the heavens all rise
On this lovely bella notte

(theme from "Bewitched" TV series)



Bewitched bewitched
You've got me in your spell
Bewitched bewitched
You know your craft so well
Before I knew what you were doing
I looked in your eyes
That brand of woo that you've been brewing
Took me by surprise
Bewitched bewitched
One thing is for sure
That stuff you pitch
Just hasn't got a cure
My heart was under lock and key
Somehow it got unhitched
I never thought my heart could be had
But now I'm caught and I'm kinda glad to be
Bewitched bewitched
My heart was under lock and key
Somehow it got unhitched
I never thought my heart could be had
But now I'm caught and I'm kinda glad to be
Bewitched bewitched
Bewitched bewitched bewitched

"Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now)"

"Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now)"


In the town of Louisville they got a man they call Big Bad Bill
I wants to tell ya, he sure was tough tough, and he certainly did
Strut his stuff
He had folks all scared to death, when he walked by they all held
Their breath
He was a fighting man, sure enough

Now Bill got himself a wife, and he leads a different life

Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
Married life done changed him some how
He's the man the town used to fear
Now they all call him sweet pappa Willie dear
Stronger than Samson I declare
'Til the brown skinned woman
Bobbed his hair

Big Bad Bill don't fight any more (No, he don't)
Doing the dishes
Mopping up that floor (Yes, he is)
Well he used to go out drinking
Looking for a fight
Now he gotta see that woman
Everynight
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now

Ah, play it boys
I likes that jazz

Big Bad Bill don't fight any more (No, he don't)
Doing the dishes
Mopping up that floor (Yes, he is)
Well he used to go out drinking
Looking for a fight
Now he gotta see that woman
Everynight
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now (Doing the dishes)
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now (Mop up the floor)
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now

"Big Spender"

"Big Spender"


The minute you walked in the joint
I could see you were a man of distinction,
A real big spender

Good lookin', so refined
Say, wouldn't you like to know
what's goin' on in my mind?

Well let me get right to the point:
I don't pop my cork for every guy I see
Hey Big Spender! Spend a little time with me.

Wouldn't you like to have fun, fun, fun?
We could have a few laughs, laughs
I could show you... good time!
Would you like to have a... good time?

The minute you walked in the joint
I could see you were a man of distinction,
A real big spender

Good lookin', so refined
Say, wouldn't you like to know
what's goin' on in my mind?

Well let me get right to the point:
I don't pop my cork for every guy I see
Hey Big Spender!
Hey Big Spender!
Hey Big Spender! Spend a little time with me.

"Black Coffee"

"Black Coffee"


I'm feelin' mighty lonesome
Haven't slept a wink
I walk the floor from nine to four
In between I drink
Black coffee
Love's a hand-me-down brew
I'll never know a Sunday
In this weekday room

I'm talkin' to the shadow
One o'clock till four
And Lord, how slow the moments go
And all I do is pour
Black coffee
Since the blues caught my eye
I'm hangin' out on Monday
My Sunday dreams to dry

Now man was born to go a lovin'
But was a woman born to weep and fret
And stay at home and tend her oven
And down her past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes

I'm moonin' all the mornin'
Moanin' all the night
And in between it's nicotine
And not much heart to fight
Black coffee
Feelin' low as the ground
It's drivin' me crazy
This thinkin' 'bout my baby
Might maybe come around
Come around

"Bless You (For The Good That's In You)"

"Bless You (For The Good That's In You)"


Bless you for the good that's in you, bless you every day
There's some good in everybody, we're just made that way
Good Morning, oh miserable, you're not as bad as you make out
That frown don't set right get right up and shout
Bless you for the good that's in you, bless you every night
If you shine like a love light beamin' you'll make out all right
Now if any old evil comes around today,
just turn it right around and chase it away
Bless you for the good that's in you, bless you every day

You know that life is like an old steam engine,
you can either go ahead, or in reverse
Now the road ahead may look pretty rocky,
but the road behind is bound to be worse
If you close your eyes you won't see the sunshine
if you plug your ears you won't hear a thing
And if you shut your heart you'll shut out
the feeling and there'll never be any reason to sing
Bless you, yeah bless you, yes Bless you, yes bless you
That frown don't set right get right up and shout
Oh bless you for the good that's in you, bless you every night
If you shine like a love light beamin', you'll make out all right
If any old evil comes around today, turn it right around and chase it away
Bless you for the good that's in you, bless you every day
Bless you, hmmm bless you, yes bless you
Bless you for the good that's in you, bless you every day

"Boston Beans"

"Boston Beans"


I took a trip to Boston
I was feeling in the mood
For a plate of that wonderful famous food
When I got there I had a big shock
Just about as big as a whole city block

They have no beans in Boston
Plenty of fish
Chinese food if that's your dish
Steaks and chops are a beautiful fair
I couldn't find any Boston beans there

When Captain John Smith came in 1614
He was the first diplomat that the Indians had seen
If they had Boston Beans than I really wouldn't know
Got to admit that was a long time ago

No beans in Boston
Plenty of fish
Chinese food if that's your dish
Steaks and chops are a beautiful fair
I couldn't find any Boston beans there

And when Paul Revere rode his horse that night
And lit those lanterns before the big fight
He must of been hungry when he got back
Boston beans would of been a beautiful snack

They have some tea leaves left from that well known party
Great museums if your feeling hearty
They have Cambridge and Harvard and MIT
The didn't have any beans for me

No beans in Boston
Plenty of fish
Chinese food if that's your dish
Steaks and chops are a beautiful fair
I couldn't find any Boston beans there

I love Boston but there's no beans there

"Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show"

"Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show"


Hot august night and the leaves hangin' down
And the grass on the ground smellin' - sweet
Move up the road to the outside o' town
And the sound o' that good gospel beat
Sits a ragged tent, where there ain't no trees
And that gospel group, tellin' you and me

It's love, brother love
Say brother love's travellin' salvation show
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies
And everyone goes, 'cause everyone knows, brother love's show

Room gets suddenly still and when you'd almost bet
You could hear yourself sweat - he walks in
Eyes black as coal and when he lifts his face
Every ear in the place is on him
Startin' soft and slow-ow, like a small earthquake
And when he lets go-o, half the valley shakes

It's love, brother love
Say brother love's travellin' salvation show
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies
And everyone goes, 'cause everyone knows
'Bout brother love's show

Brothers, I said brothers
Now you got yourself two good hands
And when your brother is troubled
You got to reach out your one hand for him
'Cause that's what it's there for
And when your heart is troubled
You got to reach out your other hand
Reach it out to the man up there
'Cause that's what he's there for

"By The Time I Get To Phoenix"

"By The Time I Get To Phoenix"


By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising.
She'll find the note I left hanging on her door.
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leaving
Cause I've left that girl so many times before.
By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working.
She'll probably stop for lunch and give me a call.
But she'll just hear the phone keep on ringing, on the wall, that's all.
By the time I reach Oklahoma she'll be sleeping.
She'll turn softly and call my name out low.
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her,
Though time and time again I tried to tell her so.
She just didn't know I would really go.
