​An Owl Sat Alone, traditional (49 words)

An owl sat alone on the branch of a tree.
And she was as quiet as quiet could be.
It was night, and her eyes were wide open like this.
And when she looked around, not a thing did she miss.

Some little birds perched on the branch of the tree
And they were as quiet as quiet could be.
​The solemn old owl said who-who-who.
​And up jumped the birds, and away they all flew.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, traditional, (68 words)

​Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are.

When the blazing sun is gone, When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light, Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

Then the traveler in the dark, Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go, If you did not twinkle so.

In the dark blue sky you keep, Often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye, Till the sun is in the sky.

As your bright and tiny spark, Lights the traveler in the dark.
Though I know not what you are, Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star. How I wonder what you are.

Around my cabin door
Oh hard times come again no more
Oh hard times come again no more

​Old Folks at Home, or Swanee River, first verse and chorus (42 words)
Swanee is a mis-spelling of the Suwannee River in Georgia and Florida.

Way down upon the Swanee River, Far, far away
That's where my heart is yearning ever, That's where the old folks stay
All up and down the whole creation, Sadly I roam
Still longing for the old plantation, And for the old folks at home
All the world is sad and dreary, Everywhere I roam
Oh, brother, how my heart grows weary, Far from the old folks at home

Stephen Foster lived from 1826 to 1864 and wrote over 200 songs.

Moon River tune by Henry Mancini, lyrics by Johnny Mercer, around 1960 (47 words)

Moon river
Wider than a mile
I'm crossin' you in style
Some day
Old dream maker
You heart breaker
Wherever you're goin'
I'm goin' your way

(2x)
Two drifters
Off to see the world
There's such a lot of world
To see
We're after the same
Rainbow's end
Waitin' round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon River
and me

Jamaica Farewell traditional (88 words)
Note: Ackee is a fruit in West Africa, Jamaica and Haiti.

Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop

CHORUS:
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little boy in Kingston town

Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico  CHORUS

Down at the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
Ackee, rice, salt fish are nice
And the rum is fine any time of year  CHORUS 3X

Autumn Leaves, 1945, music by Joseph Kosma, French lyrics by Jacques Prévert, adapted to English by Johnny Mercer, sung by Douglas Wright (44 words)

The falling leaves
Drift by the window
The autumn leaves
Of red and gold

I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sunburned 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

Fly Me to the Moon, 1954, written by Bart Howard, singer unknown (44 words)

Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me

Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

I Need You Now, 1953, by Al Jacobs and Jimmie Crane, sung by Bing Crosby (45 words)

(Now for a song, here's I Need You Now)

If I ever needed you, I need you now
I can't remember when I've ever been so blue
If I ever needed love, I need it now
I feel so all alone I don't know what to do

No day or night goes by
When I don't have my cry
I feel like I could die
From wanting you

I can ease my achin' heart but you'd know how
If I ever needed you, I need you now

There but for Fortune, 1963, sung by Joan Baez, written by Phil Ochs (59 words)

Show me the prison, show me the jail,
Show me the prisoner whose life has gone stale
And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or I, mmmm.

Show me the alley, show me the train,
Show me the hobo who sleeps out in the rain,
And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or I, mmmm.

Show me the whiskey stains on the floor,
Show me the drunkard as he stumbles out the door,
And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or I, mmmm.

Show me the country where the bombs had to fall,
Show me the ruins of the buildings once so tall,
And I'll show you a young land with so many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you and I. You and I.

A Winter's Tale, 1991, written and sung by Freddie Mercury, of the British band Queen (72 words)
Note: e'en is a contraction of even

It's Winter-fall
Red skies are gleaming - oh -
Sea-gulls are flyin' over
Swans are floatin' by
Smoking chimney-tops
Am I dreaming...
Am I dreaming...?

The nights draw in
There's a silky moon up in the sky - yeah -
Children are fantasising
Grown-ups are standin' by
What a super feeling
Am I dreaming...
Am I dreaming...?

woh-woh-woh-woh
(dreaming)
So quiet and peaceful
Tranquil and blissful
There's a kind of magic in the air
What a truly magnificent view
A breathtaking scene
(With the dreams of the world
In the palm of your hand)

A cosy fireside chat
A little this, a little that
Sound of merry laughter skippin' by
Gentle rain beatin' on my face
What an extraordinary place!
(And the dream of the child
Is the hope of the hope of the man)

It's all so beautiful
Like a landscape painting in the sky - yeah -
Mountains are zoomin' higher - mm -
Little girls scream an' cry
My world is spinnin' and spinnin' and spinnin'
It's unbelievable
Sends me reeling
Am I dreaming...
Am I dreaming...?
Oooh - it's bliss.

Yesterday, written by Lennon and McCartney, sung by Michael Bolton (61 words)

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said, I must have said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
I believe in yesterday
I believe in yesterday
I believe in yesterday

Country Roads, 1970, by Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert and John Denver, (77 words)

Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze.

CHORUS:
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong.
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads.

All my memories gather round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue water.
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye.  CHORUS

I hear her voice in the morning hour, she calls me, the radio reminds me of my home far away.
And driving down the road I get a feeling that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.  CHORUS 2x

Take me home now, country roads,
Take me home now, country roads.

Clementine, 1884, written by Percy Montrose, sung by Verna "Esmereldy" Boersma (87 words)
Note:  Miners in the 1849 California gold rush were called forty-niners. Topses is an incorrect plural of top; the correct plural is tops. Doth is an archaic version of does.

In a cavern, In a canyon,
Excavating for a mine,
Dwelled a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine

CHORUS:
Oh my Darling,
Oh my Darling,
Oh my Darling Clementine.
You are lost and gone forever,
Dreadful sorry, Clementine.

Light she was and like a fairy,
And her shoes were number nine
Herring boxes without topses
Sandals were for Clementine.  CHORUS

Drove she ducklings to the water
Every morning just at nine,
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine.  CHORUS

Ruby lips above the water,
Blowing bubbles
Soft and fine,
Alas for me I was no swimmer,
So I lost my Clementine.  CHORUS

In a church yard near the canyon
Where the myrtle doth entwine
There grow roses, other posies
Fertilized by Clementine. CHORUS

Goodbye forever
Goodbye forever
Goodbye my darling Clementine

I Just Called To Say I Love You, 1984, by Stevie Wonder (101 words)

No New Year's Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring, no song to sing
In fact it's just another ordinary day

No April rain
No flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

No summer's high
No warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No falling breeze
No autumn leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies

No Libra sun
No Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, is all so new
Made of these three words that I must say to you

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart, of my heart

Englishman In New York written by Gordon Sumner (102 words)

I don't take coffee, I take tea, my dear
I like my toast done on one side
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an Englishman in New York

See me walking down Fifth Avenue
A walking cane here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I'm an Englishman in New York

Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

If "manners maketh man" as someone said
He's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
You could end up as the only one
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
At night a candle's brighter than the sun

Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than a license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run

If "manners maketh man" as someone said
He's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say

Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien)
Be yourself no matter what they say (I'm an Englishman in New York)
Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien)
Be yourself no matter what they say (I'm an Englishman in New York)
Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien)
Be yourself no matter what they say (I'm an Englishman in New York)
Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien)
Be yourself no matter what they say (I'm an Englishman in New York)
Be yourself no matter what they say

It's Probably Me, written by Sumner, Clapton and Kamen (107 words)

If the night turned cold and the stars looked down
And you hug yourself on the cold cold ground
You wake the morning in a stranger's coat

No one would you see
You ask yourself, who'd watch for me
My only friend, who could it be
It's hard to say it

I hate to say it, but it's probably me
When your belly's empty and the hunger's so real
And you're too proud to beg and too dumb to steal

You search the city for your only friend
No one would you see
You ask yourself, who could it be
A solitary voice to speak out and set me free

I hate to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me
You're not the easiest person I ever got to know
And it's hard for us both to let our feelings show
Some would say I should let you go your way

You'll only make me cry
If there's one guy, just one guy
Who'd lay down his life for you and die

It's hard to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me
When the world's gone crazy and it makes no sense
There's only one voice that comes to your defense
The jury's out and your eyes search the room
And one friendly face is all you need to see
If there's one guy, just one guy
Who'd lay down his life for you and die

It's hard to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me
I hate to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me
