What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?

Maybe it’s much too early in the game

Ah, but I thought I’d ask you just the same

What are you doing

New Year’sNew Year’s Eve?

written by Frank Loesser

recorded by Ella Fitzgerald

1960

Do you hear what I hear?

Said the night wind to the little lamb

Do you see what I see?

'Way up in the sky, little lamb

Do you see what I see?

A star, a star Dancing in the night

With a tail as big as a kite

With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy

Do you hear what I hear?

Ringing thru the sky, shepherd boy

Do you hear what I hear?

- Do You Hear What I Hear by Noel Regney and music written by Gloria Shayne Baker.

Who Knows Where the Time Goes

I know it will be so until it's time to go

So come the storms of winter

and then the birds in spring again

I have no fear of time

For who knows how my love grows?

And who knows where the time goes?

"Who Knows Where the Time Goes?" sung by Sandy Denny or Judy Collins

Why did we quarrel, why did we fight?

Why did we quarrel, why did we fight?

Why did I leave her alone tonight?

That's why her footsteps ran into the sea

That's why my baby has gone from me.

"Endless Sleep" by Jody Reynolds

Do You Know the Way to San Jose?

L. A. is a great big freeway

Put a hundred down and buy a car

In a week - or maybe two -

they'll make you a star

Weeks turn into years and quickly pass

And all the stars there never were a parkin' cars and pumpin' gas

I've got lots of friends in San Jose

Wo oh oh oh

Can't wait to get back to San Jose

Wo oh oh oh

Do You know the way to San Jose?

"Do You Know the Way to San Jose?"- Burt Bacharach sung by Dionne Warwick

Would You Like to Swing on a Star?

Would you like to swing on a star?

carry moonbeams home in a jar

and be better off than you are

or would you rather be a mule?

" Swinging on a Star" Jimmy Van Heusen and Johnny Burke

sung by Bing Crosby

Where Are the Clowns?

Don't you love a farce?

My fault, I fear

I thought that you'd want what I want,

sorry my dear

But where are the clowns?

Send in the clowns

Don't bother they're here

"Send in the Clowns" by Steven Sondheim sung by Judy Collins

"Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"

Out from his coffin,

Drac's voice did ring

Seems he was troubled by just one thing

He opened the lid and shook his fist

And said,

"Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"

Why, oh why can't I?

Somewhere over the rainbow

Bluebirds fly.

Birds fly over the rainbow.

Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly

Beyond the rainbow

Why, oh why can't I?

"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" Judy Garland

When will I be loved?

I've been made blue

I've been lied to

When will I be loved?

did she mention my name?

It's so nice to meet an old friend

and pass the time of day

And talk about the home town

a million miles away

Is the ice still in the river,

are the old folks still the same?

And by the way,

did she mention my name?

"Did She Mention My Name" Gordon Lightfoot

WILL there really be a morning?

WILL there really be a morning?

Is there such a thing as day?

Could I see it from the mountains

If I were as tall as they?


Has it feet like water-lilies?

Has it feathers like a bird?

Is it brought from famous countries

Of which I have never heard?


Oh, some scholar! Oh, some sailor!

Oh, some wise man from the skies!

Please to tell a little pilgrim

Where the place called morning lies!

WILL there really be a morning?- by Emily Dickinson sung by Betty Buckley

Who's got the last laugh now?

They told MarconiWireless was a phony

It's the same old cry

They laughed at me wanting you

Said I was reaching for the moon

But oh, you came through

Now they'll have to change their tune

They all said we never could be happy

They laughed at us and how!

But ho, ho, ho!

Who's got the last laugh now?

"Who's Got the Last Laugh Now?" George and Ira Gershwin sung by Fred Astaire

How are things in gloccamora?

How are things in Glocca Mora?

Is that willow tree still weeping there?

Does that lassie with the twinklin' eyeCome smilin' by

and does she walk away,

Sad and dreamy there not to see me there?

If a Tree Falls in the Forest

Rain forest

Mist and mystery

Teeming green

Green brain facing labotomy

Climate control centre for the world

Ancient cord of coexistence

Hacked by parasitic greedhead scam

-From Sarawak to AmazonasCosta Rica

to mangy B.C. hills -

Cortege rhythm of falling timber.

What kind of currency grows in these new deserts,

These brand new flood plains?
If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear?

Weep not for the memories

Why do the birds go on singing?

It ended when you said goodbye

Are You Warm, are you real,...?

Do you smile to tempt a lover, mona lisa?

Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?

Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep

They just lie there and they die there

Are you warm, are you real, mona lisa?

Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?

-Mona Lisa by Nat King Cole

Why an' what's the reason for?

We laid ourselves the best of plans

Forty years go by with someone laying in your bed

Forty years of things you say you wish you'd never said

How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead?
