Don’t know why
There’s no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain’t together
Keeps raining all of the time
Stormy Weather – Ethel Waters (original performer & 1st recorded version, 1933)
-“BB”-
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
And up ahead’s another town that I’ll go walking through
With the rain in my shoes (Rain in my shoes)
Searching for you
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
Kentucky Rain – Elvis Presley
Don’t let the rain come down (oh, no)
Don’t let the rain come down (oh, no)
(Oh, no) Don’t let the rain come down
My roof’s got a hole in it and I might drown
I said my roof’s got a hole in it and I might drown
Serendipity Singers
Just walk away, Renee
You won’t see me follow you back home
Now, as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes
For me, it cries.
The Left Banke
When I call you up
Your line’s engaged
I have had enough
So act your age
We have lost the time
That was so hard to find
And I will lose my mind
If you want see me
(You won’t see me)
You Won’t See Me. The Beatles
Wednesday at three I called the phone company, singin’:
“Hey baby, put a phone in for me”
Thursday at four he came a-knockin’ at my door, singin’:
“Hey, baby, I’m your telephone man
You just show me where you want it and I’ll put it where I can
I can put it in the bedroom, I can put it in the hall
I can put it in the bathroom, I can hang it on the wall
You can have it with a buzz, you can have it with a ring
And if you really want it you can have a ding-a-ling
Because-a hey baby, I’m your telephone man”
Meri Wilson, Telephone Man
Call me (Call me) on the line
Call me, call me any, anytime
Call me (Call me) I’ll arrive
You can call me any day or night
Call me
Blondie, Call Me
Call me
Don’t be afraid, you can call me.
Maybe it’s late, but just call me,
Tell me, and I’ll be around.
Petula Clark - Call Me
-“BB”-
Call me irresponsible - call me unreliable
Throw in undependable too
Do my foolish alibis bore you
Well I’m not too clever - I just adore you
Frank Sinatra, Call Me Irresponsible
Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time
I’m living in twilight
Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time
I’m living in twilight
Electric Light Orchestra, Telephone
Help, I’m steppin’ into the Twilight Zone
Place is a madhouse
Feels like being cloned
My beacon’s been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go now that I’ve gone too far
Golden Earring, Twilight Zone
The moon belongs to ev’ryone
The best things in life are free
The stars belong to ev’ryone
They gleam there for you and me
The flowers in spring
The robins that sing
The sunbeams that shine
They’re yours, they’re mine
And love can come to ev’ryone
The best things in life are free
The best things in life are free, Bing Crosby, et al
Moon river, wider than a mile
I’m crossing you in style someday
Oh, dream maker, you heart-breaker
Wherever you’re goin’, I’m goin’ your way
It’s coming on Christmas
They’re cutting down trees
They’re putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
‘River’: Joni Mitchell
He was a skater boy
She said see you later boy
He wasn’t good enough for her
Avril Lavigne - Sk8er Boi
See you later alligator
After awhile crocodile
Can’t you see you’re in my way now
Don’t you know you cramp my style
Bill Haley and His Comets
Now everyone blamed his old man
For making him mean as a snake
When Amos Moses was a boy
His daddy would use him for alligator bait
Tie a rope around his neck and throw him in the swamp
Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou
Jerry Reed - Amos Moses
I feel so bad I got a worried mind
I’m so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind
On Blue Bayou
Saving nickles, saving dimes
Working til the sun don’t shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou
Blue Bayou, Linda Ronstad
I ain’t gonna work for Maggie’s brother no more
No, I ain’t gonna work for Maggie’s brother no more
Well, he hands you a nickel
He hands you a dime
He asks you with a grin
If you’re havin’ a good time
Then he fines you every time you slam the door
I ain’t gonna work for Maggie’s brother no more
Zimmie: Maggie’s Farm
Wake up Maggie I think I got something to say to you
It’s late September and I really should be back at school
Rod Stewart, Maggie May
