Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
from Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart

There once was a union maid, she never was afraid
Of goons and ginks and company finks and the deputy sheriffs who made the raid.
She went to the union hall when a meeting it was called,
And when the Legion boys come 'round
She always stood her ground.
CHORUS:
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union.
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
I'm sticking to the union 'til the day I die.
This union maid was wise to the tricks of company spies,
She couldn't be fooled by a company stool, she'd always organize the guys.
She always got her way when she struck for better pay.
She'd show her card to the National Guard
And this is what she'd say:
CHORUS
You gals who want to be free, just take a tip from me;
Get you a man who's a union man and join the ladies' auxiliary.
Married life ain't hard when you got a union card,
A union man has a happy life when he's got a union wife.
-- Woody Gutherie (yep, did google that one)
Gutherie is said to have made this one up on the spot, when I union organizer was having an unpositive response at a meeting from the workers she was trying organize.

Oh the Ladies' Auxilliary is the best auxilliary,
It's the best auxilliary you ever did see.
If you want an auxilliary,
See the Ladies' Auxilliary.
It's the Ladies' Auxiliiary.
Woody Guthry, in response to the complaint by the Ladies' Auxilliary that The Union Maid didn't mention the name of their organization.

I know just what I'll say
I answer right away
There's just one thing I've been looking for:
I WAN[T] to be Bobby's girl
I wanna be Bobby's girl
That's the most important thing to me
And if I was Bobby's girl
If I was Bobby's girl
What a faithful thankful girl I'd be

I pulled my harpoon
Out of my dirty red bandana
I was playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues, yeah
Windshield wipers slappin' time
I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew
~Janis Joplin, Me and My Bobby McGee

Baby Driver
Go baby driver
Been drivin' on down the road
Oh, what a rider
Carryin' such a heavy load
Don't ever need to know direction
Don't need no tow, food, gas, no more
Go baby driver
Don't want to sleep alone
Ooh, what a rider
Push that pedal to the floor, yeah
Nobody knows where you're goin'
Nobody cares where you've been
And if you want to hear some stories
Exit girl, we'll let you in
I mean l
Go baby driver
Ooh, what a rider
Go baby driver, ooh you can pull
Oh, baby driver, you've been drivin' too long
Go baby driver, go baby driver
Ooh, what a rider, you've been ridin' so long
Go baby driver, go baby driver
ever sleep much past the sunrise
Too much of nothin', nothin', nothin like that, oh,
go baby driver

My daddy was the family bassman
My mamma was an engineer
And I was born one dark gray morn
With music coming in my ears
In my ears.
They call me baby driver
And once upon a pair of wheels
Hit the road and I’m gone ah
What’s my number
I wonder how your engine feels
Ba ba ba ba
Scoot down the road
What’s my number
I wonder how your engine feels.
Paul Simon

One
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one
