13 Song Lyrics That Mention a Time of Day or a Day of the Week (No consecutive repeats)
**PLEASE KEEP** Note: in a different game in which I specified that repeats would be okay if not consecutive, that instruction was ignored. Perhaps I was not clear. What I meant was: you're allowed to repeat an item, but you're not supposed to list it twice (or more) in a row. Alternating repeats are fine, however.
01. "Five O'Clock Whistle" The five o'clock whistle's on the blink The whistle won't blow and whadd'ya think? My pop is still in the factory 'Cause he don't know what time it happens to be
The five o'clock whistle didn't blow The whistle is broke and whadda'ya know? If somebody don't find out what's wrong Oh, my pop'll be workin' all night long --Performed by (among others) Ella Fitzgerald; written by Kim Gannon, Joe Myron, Gene Irwin (no lyricist specified)
02. Blue Flashing Light "The blue flashing light Last Saturday night Brought the neighbours all out on the street..." (Travis)
03. 9 to 5 - "Working nine to five" (written and performed by Dolly Parton)
04. "Nutbush City Limits" You go t'the field on week days And have a picnic on Labor Day You go to town on Saturdays But go to church ev'ry Sunday They call it Nutbush Oh, Nutbush They call it Nutbush city limits (written and performed by Tina Turner)
05. One For My Baby (And One More For The Road) - Frank Sinatra, written by Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer - "It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place except you and me"
06. "That's Entertainment" Days of speed and slow time Mondays Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday - The Jam (written by Paul Weller)
07. "Come Saturday Morning" Come Saturday morning, I'm going away with my friend. We'll Saturday-spend, for the rest of the day. Just I, and my friend. We'll travel for miles in our Saturday smiles. And, then we'll move on. But, we will remember, long after Saturday's gone. (From The Sterile Cuckoo. Music by Fred Karlin, Lyrics by Dory Previn)
08. "Never on Sunday" - Melina Mercouri - written by Manos Hatzidakis - "Oh, you can kiss me on a Monday..."
09. "Tuesday's Gone" - Lynyrd Skynyrd "Tuesday's gone with the wind Oh, my baby's gone, with the wind"
10. "Manic Monday" The Bangles "Six O'clock already. I was just in the middle of a dream. I was kissing Valentino by a crystal blue Italian stream. But I can't be late, because I guess I just won't get paid. These are the days when you wish your bed was already made. It's just another Manic Monday." (So, day and time.)
11. "Lose This Skin" The Police "I been running Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday Runnin' Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday What have I done? What have I done?"
(I'll file this under Thursday)

Since the previous topic appears to have stalled, how about:
13 Song Lyrics About Growing Up, Growing Older, or Growing Old
01. The Circle Game "Yesterday a child came out to wonder Caught a dragonfly inside a jar Fearful when the sky was full of thunder And tearful at the falling of a star
CHORUS: And the seasons they go round and round And the painted ponies go up and down We're captive on the carousel of time We can't return, we can only look Behind from where we came And go round and round in the circle game
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons Skated over ten clear frozen streams Words like when you're older must appease him And promises of someday make his dreams
CHORUS ... (one verse skipped)
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true There'll be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty Before the last revolving year is through"
FINAL CHORUS (Music and lyrics by Joni Mitchell)

02. "When I'm 64" - The Beatles - written by Paul McCartney. (1st two verses.) When I get older Losing my hair Many years from now Will you still be sending me a Valentine? Birthday greetings bottle of wine?
If I'd been out Till quarter to three Would you lock the door? Will you still need me Will you still feed me When I'm sixty-four?

As I approach the prime of my life, I find I have the of my life, Learning to enjoy, at my leasure, All the simple pleasure, And, so happily concede Than this is all I ask.
Beautiful girl, walk a little slower, when you walk by me. Lingering sunset, stay a little longer with the lonely sea. Children, everywhere, when you shoot a "bad men," shoot at me. Take me to that strange, enchanted land, grown-ups seldom understand.
Wandering rainbows, leave a bit of color for my heart to own. Stars in the sky, make my wish come true before the night has flown. And, let the musice play as long as there's a song to sing. And, I will stay younger than Spring.

07. "I remember it well" - Maurice Chevalier & Hermione Gingold - from "Gigi".
We met at nine, we met at eight, I was on time, no, you were late Ah, yes, I remember it well We dined with friends, we dined alone, a tenor sang, a baritone Ah, yes, I remember it well
That dazzling April moon, there was none that night And the month was June, that's right, that's right It warms my heart to know that you remember still the way you do Ah, yes, I remember it well
How often I've thought of that Friday, Monday night When we had our last rendezvous And somehow I foolishly wondered if you might By some chance be thinking of it too?
That carriage ride, you walked me home You lost a glove, aha, it was a comb Ah, yes, I remember it well That brilliant sky, we had some rain Those Russian songs from sunny Spain Ah, yes, I remember it well
You wore a gown of gold, I was all in blue Am I getting old? Oh, no, not you How strong you were, how young and gay A prince of love in every way Ah, yes, I remember it well

13 Song Lyrics About Growing Up, Growing Older, or Growing Old _______________________
01. The Circle Game "Yesterday a child came out to wonder Caught a dragonfly inside a jar Fearful when the sky was full of thunder And tearful at the falling of a star
CHORUS: And the seasons they go round and round And the painted ponies go up and down We're captive on the carousel of time We can't return, we can only look Behind from where we came And go round and round in the circle game
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons Skated over ten clear frozen streams Words like when you're older must appease him And promises of someday make his dreams
CHORUS ... (one verse skipped)
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true There'll be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty Before the last revolving year is through"
FINAL CHORUS (Music and lyrics by Joni Mitchell)
--------------
02. "When I'm 64" - The Beatles - written by Paul McCartney. (1st two verses.) When I get older Losing my hair Many years from now Will you still be sending me a Valentine? Birthday greetings bottle of wine?
If I'd been out Till quarter to three Would you lock the door? Will you still need me Will you still feed me When I'm sixty-four?
-----------------
03. "This is All I Ask" - Tony Bennett
As I approach the prime of my life, I find I have the of my life, Learning to enjoy, at my leasure, All the simple pleasure, And, so happily concede Than this is all I ask.
Beautiful girl, walk a little slower, when you walk by me. Lingering sunset, stay a little longer with the lonely sea. Children, everywhere, when you shoot a "bad men," shoot at me. Take me to that strange, enchanted land, grown-ups seldom understand.
Wandering rainbows, leave a bit of color for my heart to own. Stars in the sky, make my wish come true before the night has flown. And, let the musice play as long as there's a song to sing. And, I will stay younger than Spring.
-------------------
04. "Private Hell" - The Jam Your fingers feel the lines They prod the space Your ageing face The face that once was so beautiful Is still there, but unrecognisable (Lyrics by Paul Weller)
----------------
05. "My Old Dutch" - performed and written by Albert Chevalier.
I've got a pal, A reg'lar out an' outer, She's a dear good old gal, I'll tell yer all about 'er. It's many years since fust we met, 'Er 'air was then as black as jet, It's whiter now, but she don't fret, Not my old gall
Chorus: We've been together now for forty years, An' it don't seem a day too much, There ain't a lady livin' in the land As I'd "swop" for my dear old Dutch.
-------------
06. "I Wanna Grow Old with You" by Westlife. Written by Brian McFadden, Kian Egan & Shane Filan
I wanna grow old with you I wanna die lying in your arms I wanna grow old with you I wanna be looking in your eyes I wanna be there for you Sharing in everything you do I wanna grow old with you
-------------
07. "I remember it well" - Maurice Chevalier & Hermione Gingold - from "Gigi".
We met at nine, we met at eight, I was on time, no, you were late Ah, yes, I remember it well We dined with friends, we dined alone, a tenor sang, a baritone Ah, yes, I remember it well
That dazzling April moon, there was none that night And the month was June, that's right, that's right It warms my heart to know that you remember still the way you do Ah, yes, I remember it well

08. “Forever Young” by Alphaville
It’s so hard to get old without a cause I don’t want to perish like a fading horse Youth’s like diamonds in the sun And diamonds are forever.
So many adventures given up today So many songs we forgot to play So many dreams swinging out of the blue Oh let it come true
Forever young I want to be forever young Do you really want to live forever Forever, and ever?
-------------
09. "On Mother Kelly's Doorstep" - Randolph Sutton - Written and composed by George Alex Stevens I've just been lingering all alone down Paradise Row When I was a kiddy, I'd a sweetheart, and down there we would go I'd call her Nelly and she'd call me Joe And we would romp there hand in hand Then we'd both sit down on a doorstep there, And we'd picture the future grand.
(Chorus) On Mother Kelly's doorstep, - down Paradise Row I'd sit along o' Nelly, she'd sit along o' Joe She'd got a little hole in her frock Hole in her shoe, hole in her sock Where her toe peeped through But Nelly was the smartest down our alley On Mother Kelly's doorstep, - I'm wondering now If li'l gal Nelly remembers Joe, her beau And does she love me like she used to On Mother Kelly's doorstep - down Paradise Row.
The cobblestones were a meadow sweet to Nelly and me The smoky chimney on the housetop was a beautiful tree And old Brown's donkey was a big baa lamb And Mother Kelly in the house On a wash day, holding her pail Was Mary the milkmaid milking cows.
(Chorus) On Mother Kelly's doorstep....

10. "Living Alone" - Loudon Wainwright III
You were always alone, but you just didn't see it You tried to be someone different but you just couldn't be it And if there's one thing you learned after all of it Is that you're usually fired before you can quit.
What you need is a dog, some goldfish or a cat A boa constrictor and a laboratory rat The end is at hand now and you have the means A roll of toilet paper and the right magazines
Your parents are dead now and your kids are full grown You're 53 now, you're 53 now, you're 53 now You're living alone.

11. "Autumn of My Life" - written and sung by Bobby Goldsboro,
In the spring of my life she came to me She brought sunshine where winter winds had blown Then I took her for my wife in the spring of my life And she brought me a joy I'd never known
And the years they went by in the spring of my life And in summer she blessed me with a child Love continued to grow in the summer of my life And in every morning sun I saw her smile
But in the autumn of my years I noticed the tears And I knew that our life was in the past Though I tried to pretend, I knew it was the end For the autumn of my life had come at last
Now what, what do you say to a child of ten? How do you tell him his daddy's goin' away? Do I tell him that I reached the autumn of my life And that he'll understand some winter's day?
Now a rose can't be found on a snow-covered ground And the sun cannot shine through cloudy skies But I'm richer, you see, for the years she gave to me And I'm content in the autumn of my life

That carriage ride, you walked me home You lost a glove, aha, it was a comb Ah, yes, I remember it well That brilliant sky, we had some rain Those Russian songs from sunny Spain Ah, yes, I remember it well
You wore a gown of gold, I was all in blue Am I getting old? Oh, no, not you How strong you were, how young and gay A prince of love in every way Ah, yes, I remember it well

08. “Forever Young” by Alphaville
It’s so hard to get old without a cause I don’t want to perish like a fading horse Youth’s like diamonds in the sun And diamonds are forever.
So many adventures given up today So many songs we forgot to play So many dreams swinging out of the blue Oh let it come true
Forever young I want to be forever young Do you really want to live forever Forever, and ever?

09. "On Mother Kelly's Doorstep" - Randolph Sutton - Written and composed by George Alex Stevens
I've just been lingering all alone down Paradise Row When I was a kiddy, I'd a sweetheart, and down there we would go I'd call her Nelly and she'd call me Joe And we would romp there hand in hand Then we'd both sit down on a doorstep there, And we'd picture the future grand.
(Chorus) On Mother Kelly's doorstep, - down Paradise Row I'd sit along o' Nelly, she'd sit along o' Joe She'd got a little hole in her frock Hole in her shoe, hole in her sock Where her toe peeped through But Nelly was the smartest down our alley On Mother Kelly's doorstep, - I'm wondering now If li'l gal Nelly remembers Joe, her beau And does she love me like she used to On Mother Kelly's doorstep - down Paradise Row.
The cobblestones were a meadow sweet to Nelly and me The smoky chimney on the housetop was a beautiful tree And old Brown's donkey was a big baa lamb And Mother Kelly in the house On a wash day, holding her pail Was Mary the milkmaid milking cows.
(Chorus) On Mother Kelly's doorstep....

10. "Living Alone" - Loudon Wainwright III
You were always alone, but you just didn't see it You tried to be someone different but you just couldn't be it And if there's one thing you learned after all of it Is that you're usually fired before you can quit.
What you need is a dog, some goldfish or a cat A boa constrictor and a laboratory rat The end is at hand now and you have the means A roll of toilet paper and the right magazines
Your parents are dead now and your kids are full grown You're 53 now, you're 53 now, you're 53 now You're living alone.

11. "Autumn of My Life" - written and sung by Bobby Goldsboro,
In the spring of my life she came to me She brought sunshine where winter winds had blown Then I took her for my wife in the spring of my life And she brought me a joy I'd never known
And the years they went by in the spring of my life And in summer she blessed me with a child Love continued to grow in the summer of my life And in every morning sun I saw her smile
But in the autumn of my years I noticed the tears And I knew that our life was in the past Though I tried to pretend, I knew it was the end For the autumn of my life had come at last
Now what, what do you say to a child of ten? How do you tell him his daddy's goin' away? Do I tell him that I reached the autumn of my life And that he'll understand some winter's day?
Now a rose can't be found on a snow-covered ground And the sun cannot shine through cloudy skies But I'm richer, you see, for the years she gave to me And I'm content in the autumn of my life

12. "When I Grow Too Old to Dream" - music by Sigmund Romberg and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, - Iintroduced by Evelyn Laye and Ramon Novarro in the film The Night Is Young (1935)
When I grow too old to dream I'll have you to remember When I grow too old to dream Your love will live in my heart So kiss me, my sweet And so let us part And when I grow too old to dream That kiss will live in my heart

13. "In the coming by-and-bye!" - from " Patience" by Gilbert and Sullivan
Silvered is the raven hair, Spreading is the parting straight, Mottled the complexion fair, Halting is the youthful gait, Hollow is the laughter free, Spectacled the limpid eye, Little will be left of me In the coming bye and bye!
Fading is the taper waist, Shapeless grows the shapely limb, And although severely laced, Spreading is the figure trim! Stouter than I used to be, Still more corpulent grow I – There will be too much of me In the coming by-and-bye!
