The problem is all inside your head, she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I’d like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover

She said it’s really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won’t be lost or misconstrued
But I’ll repeat myself at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover

Just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don’t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

Just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
Just listen to me

He was mobile and ignoble with no conscience global,
a blot, some say, upon the human race.
Some say he was vicious, malicious and ambitious,
But no one ever said it to his face.
Sometimes at night I wake up in fright,
I think his time is once again due;
he was far but now he's nearing, soon he'll be appearing
in a theatre of war near you!

Oh, those who can walk better carry the wounded
and those who can't walk better run.
What's that sound in my eardrums? Here comes Attila the Hun!
Hubba-hubba, wanga-wanga-be-bop!

Lorne Elliot

The Want of a Nail

You’re askin’
What’s all this talk about horses and war?
Put yourself in the place of the man at the forge
And day after day you live a life without love
’til the morning you can’t take it anymore
And you don’t get up

-- Todd Rundgren

Pardon the way that I stare.
There's nothing else to compare.
The sight of you leaves me weak.
There are no words left to speak,
But if you feel like I feel,
Please let me know that it's real.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

Frankie Valla, from Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Autumn Leaves

The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

-- lyrics by Johnny Mercer, music by Joseph Kosma

All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A.

no, don't bother to thank me. but hey, ship that toe postage paid, would you?



My dear tsuwm, you are quite the good fairy. The ink was hardly dry on my song request when you so kindly posted the obscure 1939 song "We'll meet Again" as recorded by the Ink Spots.

My friend, I hope you'll forgive the spelling errors in my post. When I typed "toe" I meant "toad" and when I typed "left" I meant "lefty", so now instead of my left toe I'm sending you a toad named "Lefty". I hope you understand.

And one more thing...the dern post office wouldn't let me ship a live toad so I pointed Lefty north and set him hopping.
But no need to worry about Lefty, I warned him to watch out for double-talking weasels because they can't be trusted. Thanks again.


No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown;
Two left feet but oh so neat, has Sweet Georgia Brown.
They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown;

I'll tell you why, you know I don't lie...much.

It's been said she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town;
Since she came, why it's a shame how she coos 'em down.

Fellers she can't get are fellers she ain't met.
Georgia claimed her, Gergia named her, Sweet Georgia Brown.

No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown;
Two left feet but oh so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown.
They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown;,

I'll tell you just why, you know i don't lie, not much!


All those tips the porter slips to Sweet Georgia Brown;,
They buy clothes at fashion shows with one dollar down,


Oh boy tip your hats, oh joy, she's the "cat's"

Who's that, mister? 'Tain't her sister -- Sweet Georgia Brown.

(Notes:
Few songs in the history of music have been recorded by so many different artists from so many different genres. Allmusic.com lists more than 1,100 releases. It has been done by just about everyone from Pat Boone to the Beatles, from Bing Crosby to Buddy Greco, by most of the big bands, by vocal groups from The Ink Spots and The Mills Brothers to The Los Angeles Jazz Choir, by virtually all of the giants of jazz, even country artists from Roy Rogers to Willie Nelson. Yet the first version that often comes to mind is the whistled recording to which The Harlem Globetrotters basketball team still does their warmup routine before games.)

You talk about things that nobody cares
You're wearing out things that nobody wears
You're calling my name but you gotta make clear
I can't say baby where I'll be in a year

Some Sweat Hog mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go musta got up and went
Well I got good news, she's a real good liar
'Cause the backstage boogie set your pants on fire

You In your Lark You're a mark You're a screamer
You know how to hustle
Daddy is a rare Millionaire I don't care
Yeah you got the muscle
I got the news

Yes dear how did you know
Can't you see our love will grow

Take it in your hand All the sirens And the band
Get to bendin' my ear
How was I to know about the warm soulful secret
You been keepin' for years
I got the news

Slow down I'll tell you when
I may never walk again

Broadway Duchess
Darling if you only knew
Half as much as
Everybody thinks you do
What I hear may be true
I would still be proud to know you

Spanish kissin' See it glisten
You came ragin' Love rampagin'
I got the news

Yes dear how did you know
Can't you see our love will grow

Steely Dan
