This Tuesday is her birthday, the third day of the month Every year it happens only once This Rose has a bud now, they get along very fine He's the one that she has married and his name is Buddy Pine. Happy Birthday to Bud's Rose,and everything go fine I'll never call you Rose no more, you belong to Buddy Pine. (inst) Every year it happens only once.

I don't know who I am or where I want to go I don't know what I want to be How many things I should know. I only know that I'm afraid I should say I'm shy I know I'll never make it 'cause I'm afraid to try. Yea, yea, that's me, that's me. Not knowing where I want to go Now knowing what I want to be Yea, yea, that's me, that's me Yea, that's me, that's me. I don't know if I'm gifted Though many think it's true But how can I accomplish what I'm afraid to do Take my fear and make me, Lord, more tolerant and strong And let me help out others by singing my life song Yea, yea, that's me, that's me. Not knowing where I want to go Now knowing what I want to be Yea, yea, that's me, that's me Yea, that's me, that's me. Sometimes I like to take myself and give me a great big shake cuz i know I can make it if only I keep up pace Miles away from nowhere, I sit daydream so Never predetermine to let my talent ...

I love to fly the skyways high up in the blue Higher, always higher to be nearer to you For every day I'm earthbound you seem so far away But when my plane turns skyward heaven comes my way Someday I'll be taking off with angels for a crew I'll meet you at God's airport to be again with you -Virgil E. Miller sung by Gene Marshall, Preview 1748

If you think I've had it, you're quite right I just found out you're not my type You like to go but on the town Come home drunk and play the clown I'm supposed to take your guff but I tell you, girl, I've had enough I like to do things you don't do and friends I have don't care for you. All you love is a dollar bill and chances are you always will Although I know there will be sorrow I'm gonna see the lawyer tomorrow. If you think I've had it, you're quite right I just found out you're not my type You like to go but on the town Come home drunk and play the clown All the years now I found out that a happy heart can't live in doubt You really tore it yesterday Now it don't matter what you say.

C'mon baby, now is our chance Let's make it for the floor and show them how to dance We'll start right down doing the Twist and even give them more than this And now we'll do the hanky panky that we always do, to see if the crowd can do it too And then for a change of pace we'll make it with the Clam before they close in and we must scram! Turn on, baby, turn on once more so everyone will know what we started for. -Jim Gross sung by Mike Thomas, Tin Pan Alley 39-494

All the world is ready for a change of pace Musically it wants to quit this crazy race And to quit that beat that jangles on your nerves We want strains with some reserve While the beat we hear is loud and full of bang And the notes are harsh and words are full of slang We don't want that hair that flies while beats they serve We want strains with some reserve Strains that linger and that have some tone Strains that come out through a saxaphone Strains that tinkle on the ivory keys Soft and lovely melodies Turn the page to where we were in those good days As I play the music like the Sammy Kayes This is what today we want and do deserve! We want strains with some reserve Let's have songs that keep a steady beat Songs that do not jangle and repeat Songs that linger in the memory And are full of melody Notes and words and beats and everything we get Makes us tense and keeps the mind and thoughts upset It's the time to quit and do the ole gay swerve (?) We want strains with so...

Little stars appear each night to end a gloomy day But in every dream that's bright you return to stay Among my memories I count these many years that I so treasure The only pleasure throughout the lonely years Among my memories there are many dreams of old that bring you so near and to me, so dear, they mean much more than gold Darling, how much I realize I'm in a dreamer's paradise but just the same to remember it's a treasure full of splendor. Little stars appear each night to end a gloomy day But in every dream that's bright you return to stay Little stars appear each night to end a gloomy day But in every dream that's bright you return to stay Among my memories my heart is sad but then I'll always love you Live my dreams through until we meet again Little stars appear each night to end a gloomy day But in every dream that's bright you return to stay -Jacob Sallo sung by The Downtowners, Preview 1547

You're just a star, a star just alone You're just a star up there alone But still you mean the world to me You're just a star up there alone But you hold such sweet memory Twinkle twinkle little star in a world of your own So close and yet so far a star alone And as your twinkling glows more bright I make my wish to you, little star, tonight. And as your twinkling glows more bright I think I see your smiling face throughout the dark and cloudy night Oh how I long for your embrace Twinkle twinkle little star in a world of your own So close and yet so far a star alone And as your twinkling glows more bright I make my wish to you, little star, tonight. Whenever you are sad and blue and feel like you cannot go on Just build your dreams up on the stars the star that always shines alone Twinkle twinkle little star in a world of your own So close and yet so far a star alone And as your twinkling glows more bright I make my wish to you, little star, tonight. Little star tonight. - ...

Have you ever smelled a quince as you held it in your hand? Seen grape jam on the cellar shelf when nature blessed the land? Braided bulbs of garlic and onions hanging way up high I remember country life. Smell the sage and bay blowing in the autumn wind Apples' red can wither where they have been skinned [Housers?] slow to pull at the frost on the grass This is country life. Ice was on the pond but it's never long to stay Sunlight stretches on the hills and fills the sky above The quince you're holding in your hand is warm as mother's love This is country life. Have you ever seen the crops grow tall as you waited day by day? Or have you felt the cold of winter as the flowers fade away? There's no place I've ever been to could fill my heart so full I remember country life. - Gail Dobrywada sung by Rodd Keith, Preview 1257

The busy movements of the crowd and the traffic gets so loud I must escape society I must escape society Life's too short now as it stands It speeds up with production Like the race for space with other lands If you ask me, it's destruction! It's destruction I must find me a slower pace Living's just a steady race I must escape society I must escape society I return to the woods each morn searching where the sun has torn from the limb of every little tree that's the place I love to see I love to see A place where war is never found where peace is the only sound I must escape society I must escape society (inst) I return to the woods each morn searching where the sun has torn from the limb of every little tree that's the place I love to see I love to see A place where war is never found where peace is the only sound I must escape society I must escape society - Calvin Cole, Jr. sung by Rodd Keith (credited as Ron Davis), MSR LP 203: Musical Gems

Like New York City and throughout the land From Syracuse to Philadelphia Gold '52. Gold '56. From '52 to '72 Boys and girls, did we have fun! Some people said "Will this go on?" But the rock rolls on Alan Freed he played his records, man, and banged his beat on his turntable stand. He did not care what they would say Progress moved on and it was here to stay He found that beat, the rock and roll and let the rock roll on. Some people said it would not last but the rock rolls on! Mr. Dick Clark and Mr. Murray the K and all the great disc jocks in the USA From radio and on Bandstand the youngsters danced, and the elders too The beach stayed on but the rock rolled on!

They'll envy me, when they see my date for the prom Glad I know, can't wait to show her to the other guys around They'll envy me when they see my real teenage queen She's the answer, the perfect dancer to every fellow's dream And when they choose a queen of the dance she'll have them all in a trance. The other cuties, with all their beauty won't even stand a chance. There's bound to be jealousy with her in my arms Oh I'm lucky, I'm oh so lucky, she's my date for the prom.

Faces on rock, etched in effigy bold of the primitive man, with a story untold Faces on rock, all the fish in the sea of the beasts of the field, in a world that was free. History's not lost, caricature here in stone Nor is man's past completely unknown Faces on rock, of the great speckled bird God gave man to eat from the buffalo herd. Faces on rock, of the fish in the sea of the beasts of the field, in a world that was free.

This life is full of disappointment They come my way most every day This life is full of disappointment I have to pray, I have to pray. Now your life may be a life of ease But my life calls me to my knees For many things that guard my way I have to pray, I have to pray. This life is full of disappointment They come my way most every day This life is full of disappointment I have to pray, I have to pray. You may look outside on some sad day and see your clear sky turn to grey Yes life's uncertain then you'll find I have to pray, I have to pray When sickness or death come to your home You'll feel you're so alone Just bow your head, these words to say I have to pray, I have to pray I have to pray, I have to pray. -Alice Britton sung by Judy Layne, Preview 1030

You hear a lot of talk these days of missiles in the sky, of objects come from outer space, and saucers flying by I don't know if there's truth in this but there's one thing I know There's saucers flying 'round my house, that wife of mine can throw Last week I told her I would have to sit up with a friend who came down with a fever and the evening I must spend but somehow she got wise to me; her friend Jane tipped her off and as I stepped in side the door, some thing came flying (by?) Flying saucers, flying saucers if I should ever come in late at night Flying saucers, flying saucers I've stopped a dozen saucers in their flight. I told her that her mother could not come to visit us We argued and we argued, oh we had a frightful fuss I said if she comes in that door, I'll throw her out of here and just then as I turned around I got one on the ear I guess we're just like Jigs (?) and Maggie, born to fight like this The other day I came in and I offered her...

The swiftly moving hands of time have drawn you slowly down the line To other hearts and other days, you left me in this deep blue haze Looking through the night glass of love you never had a cause for doubt Whenever you were down and out I was there to cool your mind to help you leave your fears behind From emptiness I led you to love Now you've left a shattered sky The wind now catches tears I sigh but don't look back, babe - I'll be all right When sunrise pierces through the night, the morning sun just don't look right I haven't made my mind away I'm still awake to face the day Wondering why you said farewell I tried to keep you satisfied, to build your ego and your pride I've given all I had to you There's nothing left to see me through The past is no place for me to dwell Now the light is turning dim You think your future lies with him so don't look back, babe - I'll be all right. In the silence I'll look on, down the highway where you...
