CHEEK TO CHEEK
Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong

Heaven, I’m in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we’re out together, dancing cheek to cheek

Yes, heaven, I’m in heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Seems to vanish like a gambler’s lucky streak
When we’re out together, dancing cheek to cheek

 

Oh I’d love to climb the mountain
Reach the highest peak
But it doesn’t thrill me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek

Oh, I’d love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek
But I don’t enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek

Now, mama, dance with me
I want my arms about you
The charms about you
Will carry me through, yes

Heaven, I’m in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we’re out together, dancing cheek to cheek
Take it Ella, swing it

Heaven, I’m in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we’re out together, dancing cheek to cheek

Heaven, I’m in heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler’s lucky streak
When we’re out together, dancing cheek to cheek

Oh I’d love to climb a mountain
And to reach the highest peak
But it doesn’t thrill me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek

Oh I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek
But I don’t enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek

Come on and dance with me
I want my arm about you
The charm about you
Will carry me through to

Heaven, I’m in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we’re out together, dancing cheek to cheek

Yes, dance with me
I want my arms about you
The charms about you
Will carry me through to

Heaven, I’m in heaven (heaven, I’m in heaven)
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we’re out together, dancing cheek to cheek

Cheek to cheek
Cheek to cheek
Cheek to cheek

WAGON WHEEL
Bob Dylan & Ketch Secor

Heading down south to the land of the pines
I’m thumbing my way into North Caroline
Staring up the road and pray to God I see headlights
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Picking me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
And I’m a-hopin’ for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight

So rock me momma like a wagon wheel
Rock me momma any way you feel
Hey, momma rock me
Rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Rock me momma like a south bound train
Hey, momma rock me

I’m running from the cold up in New England
I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band
My baby plays a guitar, I pick a banjo now
Oh, north country winters keep a-getting me down
Lost my money playing poker so I had to leave town
But I ain’t turning back to living that old life no more

So rock me momma like a wagon wheel
Rock me momma any way you feel
Hey, momma rock me
Hey, rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Rock me momma like a south bound train
Hey, momma rock me

Walkin’ to the south out of Roanoke
Caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long toke
But he’s a heading west from the Cumberland gap
To Johnson City, Tennessee
And I gotta get a move on before the sun
I hear my baby calling my name and I know that she’s the only one
And if I die in Raleigh at least I will die free

So rock me momma like a wagon wheel
Rock me momma any way you feel
Hey, momma rock me
Oh, rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Rock me momma like a south bound train
Hey momma rock me

OLD CAPE COD
Patti Page

If you’re fond of sand dunes and salty air
Quaint little villages here and there
(You’re sure) You’re sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod
(Old Cape Cod, that old Cape Cod)

If you like the taste of lobster stew
Served by a window with an ocean view
(You’re sure) You’re sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod

Winding roads that seem to beckon you
Miles of green beneath the skies of blue
Church bells chimin’ on a Sunday morn’
Remind you of the town where you were born

If you spend an evening you’ll want to stay
Watching the moonlight on Cape Cod Bay
You’re sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod
(Aah-aah)

If you spend an evening you’ll want to stay (on Cape Cod Bay)
Watching the moonlight on Cape Cod Bay
You’re sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod
You’re sure to fall in love, you’re sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod

WILD AND FREE
Sarina Patridge

Let there always be something wild here
Beating at the heart here
Standing at the edge of what’s known
There will always be something wild here
Wild and free wild and free

ALL GOD’S CRITTERS GOT A PLACE IN THE CHOIR
Sarina Patridge

Refrain:

All God’s creatures got a place in the choir,

Some sing low and some sing higher,

Some sing out loud on the telephone wire,

Some just clap their hands or paws or anything they got now.

Listen to the bass its the one on the bottom,

Where the bullfrog croaks and the hippopotamus,

Moans and groans with a big to-do,

And the old cow just goes moo.

[Refrain]

Dogs and the cats, they take up the middle,

Where the honeybee hums and the cricket fiddles,

The donkey brays and the pony neighs,

And the old gray badger sighs.

[Refrain]

Listen to the top where the little birds sings,

And the melodies and the high notes ringing,

And the hoot-owl cries over everything,

And the blackbird disagrees.

[Refrain]

Singing in the night time singing in the day,

And the little duck quacks and he’s on his way,

And the otter hasn’t got much to say,

And the porcupine talks to himself.

[Refrain]

Its a simple song little song everywhere,

By the ox and the fox and the grizzly bear,

The dopey alligator and the hawk above,

The sly old weasel and the turtle dove.

APEACEFUL EASY FEELING
The Eagles

I like the way your sparkling earrings layAgainst your skin so brownAnd I want to sleep with you in the desert nightWith a billion stars all around

‘Cause I got a peaceful easy feelin’And I know you won’t let me down‘Cause I’m already standin’On the ground

And I found out a long time agoWhat a woman can do to your soulAw but she can’t take you any wayYou don’t already know how to go

And I got a peaceful easy feelin’And I know you won’t let me down‘Cause I’m already standin’On the ground

I get this feelin’ I may know youAs a lover and a friendThis voice keeps whisperin’ in my other earTells me I may never see you again

‘Cause I get a peaceful easy feelin’And I know you won’t let me down‘Cause I’m already standin’I’m already standin’Yes, I’m already standin’On the ground
