(Johnny Marks)

Have a holly jolly Christmas
It’s the best time of the year
Well I don’t know if there’ll be snow
But have a cup of cheer

Have a holly jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet

Ho ho the mistletoe
Hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me

Have a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn’t hear
Oh bygolly have a holly jolly Christmas
This year

Have a holly jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet

Have a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn’t hear
Oh bygolly have a holly jolly Christmas
This year

I mistook the warnings for wisdom
From so called friends quick to advise
Though your touch was telling me otherwise
Somehow I saw you as a weakness
I thought I had to be strong
Oh but I was just young, I was scared, I was wrong

Not a night goes by
I don’t dream of wandering
Through the home that might have been
And I listened to my pride
When my heart cried out for you
Now every day I wake again
In a house that might have been
A home

Guess I did what I did believing
That love is a dangerous thing
Oh but that couldn’t hurt anymore than never knowing

Not a night goes by
I don’t dream of wandering
Through the home that might have been
And I listened to my pride
When my heart cried out for you
Now every day I wake again
In a house that might have been
A home
A home

Four walls, a roof, a door, some windows
Just a place to run when my working day is through
They say home is where the heart is
If the exception proves the rule I guess that’s true

Not a night goes by
I don’t dream of wandering
Through the home that might have been
And I listened to my pride
When my heart cried out for you
Now every day I wake again
In a house that might have been
A home
A home

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings


The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And a sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound


{Refrain}
I been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert your can remember your name
Cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain
(la la la…)


After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a riverbed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead


You see…
{Refrain}


After nine days I let the horse run free
Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love


You see, …
(Refrain)

A chair is still a chair
Even though there’s no-one sitting there
But a chair is not a house
And a house is not a home
When there’s no-one there to hold you tight
And no-one there you can kiss goodnight

A room is still a room
Even though there’s nothing there but gloom
But a room is not a house
And a house is not a home
When the two of us are far apart
And one of us has a broken heart

Now and then I call your name
And suddenly your voice appears
But it’s just a crazy game
When it ends, it ends in tears

Darling, have a heart
Don’t let one mistake keep us apart
I’m not meant to live alone
Turn this house into a home
When I climb the stairs
And turn the key
Oh, please be there
Still in love with me

I’m not meant to live alone
Turn this house into a home
When I climb the stairs
And turn the key
Oh, please be there
Still in love with me

A chair is still a chair
Even when there’s no one sittin’ there
But a chair is not a house
And a house is not a home
When there’s no one there,
To hold you tight
An’ no one there
You can kiss goodnight . . .

A room is still a room
Even when there’s nothin’ there but gloom
But a room is not a house
And a house is not a home
When the two of us
Are far apart
An’ one of us
Has a broken heart . . .

Now an’ then
I call your name
An’ suddenly your face appears
But it’s just a crazy game
When it ends
It ends in tears . . .

Darling have a heart
Don’t let one mistake keep us apart
I’m not meant to live alone
Turn this house into a home
When I climb the stair
An’ turn the key
Oh please be there
Still in love with me . . .

< instrumental bridge >

I’m not meant to live alone
Turn this house into a home
When I climb the stair
An’ turn the key
Oh please be there
Still in love with me . . .

Music by Burt Bacharach
and lyrics by Hal David , 1964

I can see you now living like a queen
In a house that has everything, everything but love
Crystal chandeliers, chauffeured limousines
Yes you’ll really have everything, everything but love

I see diamonds, sables, sapphires and pearls
And as the picture clears
Poor little rich girl sitting all alone
Counting her treasures in tears
Better just a shack where two people care
Than a house that has everything, everything but love

I see diamonds, sables, sapphires and pearls
And as the picture clears
Poor little rich girl sitting all alone
Counting her treasures in tears
Better just a shack where two people care
Than a house that has everything, everything but love
Than a house that has everything, everything but love

We still wear our rings
We still say I love you
We both play the part
Oh so well
But everyone knows
It’s just a sad show
And we’re only foolin ourselves

It’s like living in a house with no curtains
The whole world can see what’s inside
You can turn out the lights in a house with no curtains
But the heartache has nowhere to hide

We could pack up and leave in different directions
If we just had somewhere to go
We just keep on pretending
Afraid of the ending
Admitting what everyone knows

It’s like living in a house with no curtains
The whole world can see what’s inside
You can turn out the lights in a house with no curtains
But the heartache has nowhere to hide

You can turn out the lights
In a house with no curtains
But the heartache has nowhere to hide

It?s always fair weather,
when hep cats get together!
And every time they meet,
here?s the way you?ll hear them greet ( greet! )
A hubba-hubba-hubba Hello Dad!

Well a hubba-hubba-hubba, I just got back!
Well a hubba-hubba-hubba, let?s shoot some breeze!
Say, whatever happened to the Japanese?
Hmm a hubba-hubba-hubba, haven?t you heard?
A hubba-hubba-hubba, slip me the word!

I got it from a guy who was in the kno?
It was mighty smoky over Tokyo!
A friend of mine in a B-29 dropped another load for luck,
As he flew away, he was heard to say:
“A hubba-hubba-hubba yuk yuk!”

Well I gotta go fishin?
That?s ok, we?ll give you our permission and we?ll say,
A hubba-hubba-hubba, on your way!
And I will dig you later in the USA!
Ta dah dah dee dee dee ta dee dee, ta dah dah hi hi hi tee dee dee!

A hubba-hubba-hubba, I just got in!
A hubba-hubba-hubba, well give me some skin!
Well you?re lookin? mighty purdy Miss Curly Locks!
I?m the grand old girly of the bobby socks!
Hmm yuttata yuttata yuttaton you talk big!
Well I?m the fresh tomata you can?t dig!
Let?s have a heart to heart?a and you?ll decide!
I?m a chick what’s really on the solid side!

You knock me flat, you?re the kind of a cat,
makes me wanta blow my top: ” ?till the end of time . . . ” ( Aaaaah! )

And if you feel that way, tell me what you say?
A hubba-hubba-hubba muk muk!

Well now you?re really talkin?, you?re no square!
You can?t be from Weehawken . . .
Hmm hmm Delaware!

You got a line of jive that?s really zoo!
Well I?ll dig you later, baby you?re all root!

< instrumental break >

You?re the kind of cat, wears a sharp cravat,
and you really know your stuff!

If you feel that way, tell me what you say?
A hubba-hubba-hubba ruff ruff!

A getta long a little mousy with the great big eyes,
well if you?re lookin? for a spousey,
why you?re just my size!

Mister how you love to blubber
with that knock out squawk,
Seems your lips are made of rubber
every time you talk!

Oh no, no, no, hubba-hubba!

Yes, yes, yes, hubba-hubba!

Bop, bop, bop, hubba-hubba!
A what you kno? ( A what you kno? )
A what you say ( A what you say )
I say I?ll dig you later baby in the USA!

with lyrics by Harold Adamson. 1945

I walked down the street like a good girl should
He followed me down the street like I knew he would
Because a guy is a guy wherever he may be
So listen and I’ll tell you what this fella did to me

I walked to my house like a good girl should
He followed me to my house like I knew he would
Because a guy is a guy wherever he may be
So listen while I tell you what this fella did to me

I never saw the boy before
So nothin’ could be sillier
At closer range his face was strange
But his manner was familiar

So I walked up the stairs like a good girl should
He followed me up the stairs like I knew he would
Because a guy is a guy wherever he may be
So listen and I’ll tell you what this fella did to me

I stepped to my door like a good girl should
He stopped at my door like I knew he would
Because a guy is a guy wherever he may be
So listen while I tell you what this fella did to me

He asked me for a good-night kiss
I said, “It’s still good day”
I would have told him more except
His lips got in the way

So I talked to my ma like a good girl should
And Ma talked to Pa like I knew she would
And they all agreed on a married life for me
The guy is my guy wherever he may be

So I walked down the aisle like a good girl should
He followed me down the aisle like I knew he would
Because a guy is a guy wherever he may be
And now you’ve heard the story of what someone did to me

And that’s what he did to me

John San what you can
La la Janette dance in sand
What’s the mystery my son
Gypsy Dan Caravan
Won Tun Wan with your Chinese fan
It’s part of history my son

Murder and rape with your power
The 10th revolution in far away days
It’s come to this
A gypsy’s kiss
All your power’s gonna fade in the haze

Ya who’ Jumme gae bile ya heed
The Senorita said
I’ll drag yer lungs out through yer nose
Space truckers free and high
Teamsters get ya by and by
That should keep you on your toes

They got a gun at your head
But you ain’t necessarily playing their
game
They can’t resist
A Gypsy’s Kiss
All that’s needed to drive them insane

John Wayne The Alamo
Crazy Horse Geronimo
I’ll smoke a piece with you
Mind Body Heart and Soul
We got Rock and Roll
And there’s nothing they can do

Hear the small voice of truth
Above the shouting despair of the crowd
What do you wish
A Gypsy’s Kiss
Gets you strong for crying out loud
