Wake The Town And Tell The People - Les Baxter lyrics

[Music by Jerry Livingston and Words by Sammy Gallop]

Wake the town and tell the people
Sing it to the moon above
Wake the town and tell the people
Tell them that I'm so in love

Let's begin the celebration
Let's declare a holiday
Send the wedding invitations
To the neighbors right away

When I am close to you
And my heart is dancing with delight
I want the world to see
Heaven's in my arms tonight

Shout it from the highest steeple
Ring the bells the whole night through
Wake the town and tell the people
Tell them I'm in love with you

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

Shout it from the highest steeple
Ring the bells the whole night through
Wake the town and tell the people
Tell them I'm in love with you

edgar, I think we all need to wake the town and tell the people that things are not looking up!

Bush Begins 5-Day Push to Defend Iraq War By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer
3 minutes ago



CRAWFORD, Texas - With anti-war protesters continuing their vigil outside President Bush's ranch, the commander in chief began a five-day push Saturday to tell Americans why he thinks U.S. troops must continue the fight in Iraq.



In his weekly radio address, Bush argued that the war in Iraq will keep Americans safe for generations to come. He'll try to drive that point home with speeches in upcoming days in Utah and Idaho.

"Our troops know that they're fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere to protect their fellow Americans from a savage enemy," the president said in the recorded broadcast.

"They know that if we do not confront these evil men abroad, we will have to face them one day in our own cities and streets, and they know that the safety and security of every American is at stake in this war, and they know we will prevail."

Bush is making a sell to a skeptical public. According to recent polls, a majority of Americans do not approve of his handling of the war.

Dozens of the disillusioned remain outside his ranch as their inspiration, grieved mother Cindy Sheehan, left to tend to her hospitalized mother in her home state of California. Sheehan started the protests by traveling to Crawford to ask Bush why her soldier son, Casey, had to die in what she calls a senseless war.

Although he didn't mention him specifically, Bush spoke of the soldiers who have died. "We offer their families our heartfelt condolences and prayers," the president said.

"Now we must finish the task that our troops have given their lives for and honor their sacrifice by completing their mission," he said. "We can be confident in the ultimate triumph of our cause, because we know that freedom is the future of every nation and that the side of freedom is the side of victory."

The protesters at "Camp Casey" can claim some victory for forcing Bush to talk so extensively about the military deaths when he'd rather focus on indictors of progress in Iraq. The campers' call to bring the troops home now dominated news coverage out of Crawford this week while Bush stayed on his ranch with no public events.

Next week, the president will regain some of the spotlight with scheduled speeches to the Veterans of Foreign Wars on Monday and a National Guard group on Wednesday.

As he has before when he has been challenged, Bush invoked the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in his radio address.

"On that day, we learned that vast oceans and friendly neighbors no longer protect us from those who wish to harm our people," he said. "And since that day, we have taken the fight to the enemy."

The president has been able to rally Americans behind him before by reminding them of the horror of Sept. 11, most pivotally in last year's close election.

He used the radio address to make the case again that Iraq is a critical part of the war against terrorists.

"We're spreading the hope of freedom across the broader Middle East," Bush said. "By advancing the cause of liberty in a troubled region, we are bringing security to our own citizens and laying the foundations of peace for our children and grandchildren."

I never did believe a word Bush said and never will.

Nor I, edgar.

Well, listeners. No McTag and no Francis, and I do wonder about Cyracuz. Anyone know anything?

Perhaps if we were to play Greig, or read Burns, or ask a really difficult question, we may entice them back in our studio.

Ok, Cyracuz, I'm playing Greig in the background, hear it?

McTag, this may not be Burns, but it does have heather and lassie in it:












Oh the summertime is comin'
And the trees are sweetly bloomin'
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the bloomin' heather

Chorus:
Will ye go, lassie, go
And we'll all go together
To the wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather

Will ye go, lassie, go
I will build my love a bower
By yon pure crystal fountain
And on it I will pile
All the flowers of the mountain

Chorus

And if my true love she were gone
I would surely find another
Where the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the bloomin' heather

Chorus

and let's see if Francis can solve this puzzle:

What man felt that the only philosophy was that connected with suicide?

He and Sartre were pals for a while.

i know the puzzle answer. letty. the way he put it was, "the only philosophical question of importance," i think. he was a noted novelist, as well, and i suppose answered his own question by committing suicide.

after writing the above, i did a little googling, and the result just goes to show you that you can't believe everything you hear. the man in question was riding in the rear seat of a car that crashed, which makes a suicide rather improbable.

camus did not commit suicide.

Well, Mr. turtleman. You are allowed to answer. I was really intrigued by the man, one reason being that I mispronounced his name. Now I know that it rhymes with shampoo.

Ah, dys slipped in here and got it right.

right you are, dys. i learned something today.

All of us learn here, Yit. I learned about the Lakotas and Indian rituals. I learned that dys likes his American whiskey straight up. I learned from you about "sounding" and other variations. I learned that nobody know Dylan like edgar. I'm always learning something new from Walter, and today I learned that the following riddle song was a version from the Kentucky mountains:


Lyrics:
I gave my love a cherry that has no stone,
I gave my love a chicken that has no bone,
I gave my love a ring that has no end,
I gave my love a baby with no cryin'.

How can there be a cherry that has no stone?
How can there be a chicken that has no bone?
How can there be a ring that has no end?
How can there be a baby with no cryin'?

A cherry, when it's blooming, it has no stone,
A chicken when it's pipping, it has no bone,
A ring when it's rolling, it has no end,
A baby when it's sleeping, has no cryin'.

And, folks, a request from a colleague:






Teach Me Tonight Lyrics (Frank Sinatra)



Frank Sinatra - Teach Me Tonight Lyrics
Writer(s): cahn/de paul


Did you say (that) I?ve got a lot to learn
Well don?t think I?m trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Teach me tonight

Starting with the abc of it
Getting right down to the xyz of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Teach me tonight

The sky?s a blackboard high above you
And if a shooting star goes by
I?ll use that star to write "i love you"
A thousand times across the sky

One thing isn?t very clear my love
Teachers shouldn?t stand so near my love
Graduation?s almost here my love
You?d better teach me tonight

I?ve played loves scenes in a flick or two
And I?ve also met a chick or two
But I still can learn a trick or two
Hey teach me tonight

I who thought I knew the score of it
Kind of think I should know much more of it
Off the wall, the bed, the floor of it
Hey teach me tonight

The midnight hours come slowly creeping
When there?s no one there but you
There must be more to life than sleeping
Single in a bed for two

What I need most is post graduate
What I feel is hard to articulate
If you want me to matriculate
You?d better teach me tonight

What do you get for lessons
Teach me - come on and teach me - teach me tonight

and, folks, I have learned that my fingers move more quickly than my brain.

Did you say (that) I've got a lot to learn, well don't think I'm trying not to learn

Since this is the perfect spot to learn, teach me tonight

Starting with the ABC of it, getting right down to the XYZ of it

Help me solve the mystery of it, teach me tonight

The sky's a blackboard high above you, a nd if a shooting star goes by

I'll use that star to write "I love you", a thousand times across the sky

One thing isn't very clear my love, teachers shouldn't stand so near my love

Graduation's almost here my love, you'd better teach me tonight

I've played loves scenes in a flick or two, and I've also met a chick or two

But I still can learn a trick or two, hey teach me tonight

Heh! Heh!

Okay, Boston, take your seat and listen up:

Our subject for today is history. Without referring to any resource, tell me all you know about the Boston tea party. <smile>

No coaching from our audience, please.

UhOh! listeners. Bob walked out of the room which means he skipped class.



When You Walk In The Room



I can feel the new expression on my face
I can feel that warm sensation taking place
I can hear the guitar playing lovely tunes
Every time that you walk in the room
Close my eyes for a second and pretend it's me you want
Meanwhile I try to act so nonchalant
I can see a summer's night; the magic moon
Every time that you walk in the room

Baby it's a dream come true
Walking right along beside of you
Wish I could tell you how I care
But I only have the nerve to stand and stare

I can feel that something pounding in my brain
Just anytime that someone speaks your name
Ooo the trumpet sounds and I hear thunder boom
Every time that you walk in the room
Every time that you walk in the room
Every time that you walk in the room

Maybe that will bring him back before he gets suspended.

Thank you, Walter (reading, and trying to catch up), that poem about the bucket of water will be very useful if I have to make a speech next month.

I appreciate it....some of my efforts go unremarked, too, but I feel that someone, somewhere, reads them...

I believe for every drop of rain that falls,
A flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night
A candle glows....

Well, McTag, honey. I read all your stuff, but I am rather slow cause of the one ringy dingy dial up.

Every time I hear a new born baby cry,
Or touch a leaf,
Or feel the sky,
The I know why
(arpeggio)

I believe. Welcome back, Manchester

The Radio A2K Glee Club (Cheshire Branch) went on an excursion into deepest Lancashire today, to visit an old house...

[/IMG]

2.

The house was pretty old, but it had been rebuilt and modernised in

3.

They met this little chap, and some of his friends (there were more than seven of them) who didn't have to say what his name was, because it was written on his hat:

McTag, those photos are really wonderful.

First, the house is so quaint and the foliage is fantastic. I love the wooden shingles and the criss-crossed windows (what do you called those kinds of windows?) are so old world.

Next, that must be your in laws in the picture with you. What a delightful couple.

Finally, I didn't know that Walter ever wore a hat. Sorta looks like the roaming gnome.

I hope I gave a proper description to our listeners.
