Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars In other words, hold my hand In other words, darling kiss me Fill my heart with song and let me sing forever more You are all I long for, all I worship and adore In other words, please be true In other words, I love you

No Business 02:22
You got no business coming 'round here Don't want to see your face you better just done disappear You got no business, no business 'round here You got no business messing 'round town The shadiest of strangers would not tread upon your ground You got no business, no business 'round here I could not believe the way it could be Now it's not the same, you see It's not the same to me Everybody knows You got no business saying what you say Everyone's a loser and everyone is a fake You got no business, no business round here

Black Coffee 02:22
Black coffee, I'm in trouble Black coffee, I see double Man, man, man, man How am I going to get home? Black coffee, I'm so dizzy Black coffee, let's get busy Oh, oh, oh, oh Help me to get home I drank too much whoopty soup I thought I had one Now my mind's all loop-de-loop That's some stuff eh kid? Oohh Black coffee, help a fella Black coffee, what do I tell her? Man, man, man, man I'm afraid to go home
4.
Grab your coat and snatch your hat Leave your worries on the doorstep Just direct your feet To the sunny side of the street Can't you hear that pitter pat Now that happy tune is your step Life can be so sweet On the sunny side of the street I used to walk in the shade With the blues on parade No longer afraid 'Cause the rover crossed over If I never had a cent I'd be rich as Rockefeller With gold dust at my feet On the sunny side of the street
5.
Baby, the first time I knew that you could be no one's baby but mine You're eyes, they shine so bright They're making me blind Baby, but last night I heard some things that just could not have been right That's when I started missing you Baby, the first time You left my side, I knew you would be back in my arms Unharmed, you charmed me right You caught me off guard Baby, but that night Our bedroom window shone different kinds of light That's when I started missing you Baby, the last time You kissed my cheeks and said you would be seeing me soon I knew you had left no room For me in your life Baby, but tonight I'll find a baby to dance me through the night And forget I ever started missing you I'll forget I ever started missing you
6.
I got a baby It's true But my baby don't love me like she loves you What can I do? My baby loves me but not the way she loves you When I'm with my baby (yoo-hoo) I know my baby needs me but not like she needs you But what can I do? My baby loves me but not the way she loves you When I ain't with my baby I feel so blue 'Cause I know my little baby's probably getting down and dirty with you But what can I do? My baby loves me but not the way she loves you
7.
When I was a kid, about half passed three My daddy said son, come here to me He said things may come and things may go But this is one thing you 'ought to know T'aint what you do, it's the way that you do it That's what get's results T'aint what you do, it's the place that you do it That's what gets results You can try hard, don't mean a thing Take it easy, then your jive will swing T'aint what you do, it's the place that you do it That's what get's results
8.
Holding hands at midnight 'Neath the starry sky Nice work if you can get it And you can get it if you try Strolling with the one girl Sighing sigh after sigh Nice work if you can get it And you can get it if you try Just imagine someone waiting at the cottage door Where two hearts become one Who could ask anything more? Loving one who loves you And then taking that vow Nice work if you can get it And if you get it Won't you tell me how?
9.
You're Right 02:55
She told me I was just a no-good fucking shit And so I bet you know exactly what I did I clenched my fist... And I looked into those sea-green eyes And with all my might I said, "You're right. You're right, you're right you're right It seems to be You've overcome me and so you're right" She lost her temper and I guess I lost my nerve She raised her voice as I cowered away from her She made it known Who the boss was in our broken, lonely home And so, I moaned, "You're right"
10.
Sixteen Tons 02:24
Some people say a man is made out of mud A poor man's made out of muscle and blood Muscle and blood and skin and bones A mind that's weak and a back that's strong You load the 16 tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in dept Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store I was born one morning, the sun didn't shine I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine I loaded 16 tons of #9 coal and the straw boss said well bless my soul [...] I was born one morning, it was drizzling rain, Fighting and trouble are my middle name I was raised in The Cain, break by an old mama lion Ain't no high-tone woman make me walk the line [...] If you see me coming, better step aside A lot of men didn't, a lot of men died One fist of iron, the other of steel If the right one don't get you then the left one will [...]
11.
Don't you know she's got my heart in her hand I gave her all I got but she has met a better man It seems that all my dreams have been crushed into sand But hey, I can deal with that I got 99 problems, and this is only one But she still thinks about her ex when we make love Her eyes fly to the future while her heart parts with the past But hey, I can deal with that I ain't the most sentimental fella under the sun If I knew what was good for me, I would just turn and run
12.
It's only a song for dancing It's only a tune to make you move So if you wanna sing it You might as well just bring it We're going to lift the roof off of this room It's only a dance for dancing It's only a movement made for two So if you want to swing it You might as well just bring it Don't you know I want to dance with you Now, everybody swing out Show me what you got Everybody sing out This place is getting hot Hey girl, come on and dance with me It's gonna be the dance of the century You're only a partner just for dancing The dance is clearly why I hold you tight But if you want to come home Where we can be all alone We'll dance until the morning hits our eyes
