1. Move It2:35

   Letra

   Fifty-five Ford died right on the road Drove for the curb, raised up the hood Couldn't see nothing wrong, line o' cars long Traffic bogged down, tryin' to drive around Officer Lamar, walkin' toward the car: "Move it!", "Come along move it", "You cannot stop it here, now move it", "Move it" "Get out of there, move it" Three and two the count, bases loaded down Slugger at the plate, known to hit 'em straight Tension from the fans, shoutin' in the stands Signal from the catch, pitcher's in the stretch Bat 'n' ball crack, pitcher's backin' back: "Move it!", "Move it!", "Get along, move it!" "The ball is droppin' past, now" "Move it!" "Let the ball, now, let's go home, now, move it!" She drives a Mustang, she lets her hair hang She dresses like a fish, makes you look and wish Puts you in a trance, body built to dance Disco queen, twistin' in between Play a super song, watch her get it on Pretty, wow! "Get hip, move it!" "Move it"

3. I Need You Baby3:14

   Letra

   Please, listen, baby, try and understand As sure as a woman needs a man I need you baby, I just wanted you then But I'm in love with you now I walk the floor sprinkled with tears since you've been gone Oh, it'd seem like a thousand years I need you baby, I just wanted you then But I'm in love with you now True love like yours is so hard to find If you don't come back baby, Lord knows I'll lose my mind I need you baby, I just wanted you then But I'm in love with you now He loved other women and I love only you But you fall on him, Lord, like the morning dew I need you baby, I just wanted you then But I'm in love with you now Do you care for me less than you did before ?

4. If I Were3:05

   Letra

   If I were a pendulum swing and you were the bird in the cuckoo clock Ev'ry time you cucko-cooed I would double tick another tick tock I'd double my swing ev'ry time you'd sing we'd make good time with each other Oh, but that would be just so much fun cooin' and swingin' together If I were a little bitty boy and I had just a little bit o' credit I would make a loan for an ice cream cone and I'd go right away and get it You would lick a little and I would lick a little, we surely could lick with each other Oh, but that would be just so much fun, eating it all together And if I were a little honey bee and you were a little butterfly I would be waiting at the garden gate until you came fluttering by Maybe you'd stop on a red rose top and then we could talk to each other Oh, but we cou'd flutter up so much fun being in the garden together But I'm just an ordinary guy and I love all the things you do You seem such a talented, beautiful girl and I'm afraid to even talk to you If I were as bold like some guys, hearin' them talk to each other I'd come over and ask you if we could go out together But if you were a Mercedes-Benz, I'd have to be a Fleetwood Brougham And ev'ry time I saw you rollin' on the freeway I think I'd have to follow you home You could let me lodge in your double garage, bumper to bumper out of the weather Nobody home but the Benz and the Brougham, really rarin' to roll off together

   You know I never really thought some things would ever really come to be 'Cause I don't bother nobody and don't nobody bother me I went down in Mississippi, I asked Mister Charlie about my roots He said, "Turn around, bend over, boy, they're right here in my boots" You know I never thought a thing like that would ever really come to be 'Cause I don't bother nobody and don't nobody bother me I asked a policeman the time, he swung and crowned me with his stock I managed to walk away so glad it weren't twelve o'clock You know I never thought a thing like that would ever really come to be 'Cause I don't bother nobody and don't nobody bother me My girl friend's datin' this here guy who's goin' out with some man's wife I lost my girl, the wife her husband, the guy he lost his life You know I never thought a thing like that would ever really come to be 'Cause I don't bother nobody and don't nobody bother me I used to have a Ford Torino and at that time I had a chick She used to get her kicks just askin' me to flick my Bic You know I never thought a thing like that would ever really come to be 'Cause I don't bother nobody and don't nobody bother me My grandpa drove a horse and buggy but my father used the train I worked and bought a Cadillac but my son, he drives a plane You know I never thought a thing like that would ever really come to be 'Cause I don't bother nobody and don't nobody bother me

   California, California Much has been told me about your beautiful sunshine Mountains and snow tops, valleys and rich crops California, home so far from mine San Francisco, Sacramento Will I ever go to Los Angeles or San Diego ?

10. Pass Away5:39

    Letra

    (Recitation) Once in Persia reigned a king who upon his royal ring carved these words so true and wise Which when held before his eyes gave him counsel at a glance of his life of changing chance Solemn words and these are they: "Even this shall pass away" Trains of camels through the sand brought him gems from Samarkand Fleets of galleys through the sea brought him pearls to match with thee But he counted not his gain nor his treasure, mine or main "What is wealth ?", the king would say, "Even this shall pass away" In the revel of his court, at the zenith of his sport When the palms of all his guests burned with clapping at his zest He among his figs and wine would cry, "Oh, loving friends of mine Pleasures may come, but they cannot stay, like even this shall pass away ?" The most beautiful woman ever seen was the bride he chose his queen Pillowed on their royal bed, whispering to her soul he said: "Though a bridegroom never pressed dearer bosom to his chest But mortal flesh must come to clay and even these shall pass away" Towering over the village square, thirty meters in the air Rose his statue, carved in stone, as the king stood there alone Gazing at his sculptured name, said to himself, "So what is fame ? Fame, it's but slow decay, even this shall pass away" Fighting furiously on a battlefield, once a javelin pierced his shield Soldiers with a loud lament bore him bleeding to his tent Groaning from his tortured side, "Pain is hard to bear", he cried "Oh, but with patience day by day, even this shall pass away" Sick and sore with cancer; weak and tired and old, just minutes yet to go to pass the gates o' gold Spake he with his dying breath, "Life is done, so what is death ?" Then in answer to the king fell a sunbeam on his ring Reflecting words he failed to say: "Even this shall pass away"
