Hail the Conquering Hero

 

What do I do now?

Just let it all blow over

The farce is over!

Rampant patriotism

And political flim flam

 

You didn't know a

Good man when you saw one so

You elected a

Phony instead until a

Bigger phony came along

 

Hair

 

Let the sunshine in

Singing my space songs on a 

Spider web sitar

Crystal revelation and

The mind's true liberation

 

Hallelujah

 

Soul-saving, dancing

Preaching, shouting, baptizing

Gambling, lovemaking

Forgotten land of cotten

Fanatical expressions

 

Hallelujah I'm a Bum

 

Bumper found a grand

What do you want with money?

I'd do it again

Gotta get back to New York

Rhythmic rhymed conversation

 

Bumper found a grand

What do you want with money?

You talk like a red

He can make me feel I'm full

When he feeds me full of bull

 

Hamlet

 

I am thy father

They poured poison in my ear

The play's the thing

Catch the conscience of the king

Get thee to a nunnery

 

Hangmen Also Die

 

Investigation

Of the Nazi governor's

Assassination

In Czechoslovakia

Executing a quisling

 

Hanna's War

 

I saw the leaders

Stand up and vote for racial

Discrimination

Can any one say they are

Proud of what they are doing?

 

Hannah and Her Sisters

 

Be alone with here

And hold her and kiss her and

Tell here how much I

Love her and take care of her--

Stop it.  She's your wife's sister!

 

Hans Christian Andersen

 

Her eyes were fire bright

Through the ever haunted night

Voice a soft caress

Her smile was the tenderness

Tears silver as morning dew

 

A Hard Day's Night

 

John doesn't have nerves

He's just a dirty old man

Working like a dog

Running, jumping, standing still

Studied spontaneity

 

The Harder They Come

 

Johnny, you're too bad

With a pistol in his hand

He takes on the man

He makes women and the charts

And is on top of them both

 

Sitting in limbo

Too Many Rivers to Cross

Johnny, you're too bad

Rastafarian reggae

I say, "Who's the bad man here?"

 

Harry and Tonto

 

Man the barricades

You got to go to the streets

Blow up the cesspool

Capitalistic bastards

If you know people, that's home

 

Would you believe it?

There were trolleys, cobblestones

Bristling energy

The aroma of corned beef

And cabbage spiced with strudel

 

Harvey

 

Eccentricity

I'd like you to meet my friend

A pookah was here

You have to be oh so smart

So why not be oh so nice

 

The pooka appears

Here and there, now and then, to

This one and that one

Fond of rumpots, crackpots and

How are you, Mr. Wilson?

 

The Harvey Girls

 

It's a great big world

The Atchison, Topeka

And the Santa Fe

Swing your partner round and round

Where the evening sun goes down

 

In the valley where

The evening sun goes down

The train must be fed

Swing your partner round and round

It's a great big wild wild world

 

The Haunting

 

I'm coming apart

A little at a time--a

Little at a time

Now I know where I'm going

I want to stay here always

 

The Head

 

Arteries and veins

Delicately connected

Strange Medusa-like

Wires are attached at the crown

The naked and the Satan

 

Head over Heels

 

Don't give a gosh darn

Looking round corners for you

That look in your eyes

Through the courtesy of love

May I have the next romance


Healthy, Wealthy and Dumb


Fifty thousand bucks

From Coffin Nail cigarettes

Pie a la mode with

Beer chasers three times a day

At Hotel Costa Plente

 

The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter

 

He thinks he and I

Have a secret together

Once they know the truth

They are oppressed no longer

I wish I knew what she hears

 

The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things

 

You know any psalms?

I am an anarchist, I

Am an antichrist

Sing that song for Grandfather

And he'll give you some candy

 

Hearts and Minds

 

Imperialist

Atrocity exhibit

Victimization

John Foster Dulles offered

The French two atomic bombs


Hearts Are Thumps


Wide eyed amazement

He Man Woman Haters Club

Promise not to fall

I have to live my own life

You have personality

 

Hearts of the World

 

War propaganda

A country worth living in

Is worth fighting for

If we can't get what we want

We'd better want what we get

 

Hell's Highway

 

Don't you know better

Than to leave them mules out in

The sun, Rascal?  Yes

Sir, boss.  Mules cost four dollars

A head; convicts cost nothing

 

Hell's Hinges

 

Poppy the trollop's

Systematic seduction

To hell with the church

The minister burns it down

Blaze squares off for a showdown

 

Help

 

I need somebody

I can see them laugh at me

Why am I so shy?

I have got another girl

She's got a ticket to ride

 

Henry V

 

Help make more human

Some anonymous army

Matures on the job

Carries dead boy past carnage

For glory, England, God and king

 

Her Friend the Bandit

 

Identity thief

Steals Count de Bean's tuxedo

And invitation

To a Keystone reception

Including the Keystone cops

 

Here Is My Heart

 

Crooner disguises

Himself as a waiter

To get close to princess

With every breath I take

Love's just around the corner

 

The Hiding Place

 

The lights have gone out

Only two weeks ago there

Was a free nation

There's now the stillness of death

Unhappy pray in silence

 

High Noon 

 

Do not forsake me

The killer rides the noon train

On our wedding day

Sheriff casts a long shadow

Back into dust thou shalt go

 

You're asking me to

Wait an hour to find out

If I'm going to

Be a wife or a widow

For nothing.  For a tin star.

 

High Society

 

You're sensational

Making love is quite an art

More or less aloof

You require the proper squire

You should meet a maiden sweet

 

High, Wide and Handsome

 

We will make changes

As any family will

We may be adding

We'll build a home on the hill

A cottage that two can fill

 

Higher and Higher

 

Minuet boogie

Today I'm a debutante

You're on your own now

A most important affair

Couldn't sleep a wink last night

 

The Hill

 

That's marvelous, sir

The courtyard of Sisyphus

 A great construction

Run up and down 'til I drop?

I can do without it, sir.


Hi, Neighbor


A real pocket knife

Look out!  Get away from there!

Don't rush me big boy

Oh, what a beautiful car

You don't want to ride in that

 

Hiroshima Mon Amour

 

Densely intertwined

Labyrinth of allusions

Catharsis for guilt

Memories and illusions

Nuclear detonation

 

His Favorite Pastime

 

Charlie meets a girl

Follows her home from the bar

And soon encounters

A highly outraged husband

Who chops the pole he has climbed

 

His Girl Friday

 

I'm particular

About whom my wife marries

He's got lots of charm

He comes by it naturally

His grandfather was a snake

 

Albany is a

Mighty good insurance town

Most people take it

Out pretty early in life

Well, I could see why they would

 

His Greatest Bluff

 

Jeweler's pocket

Picked by Goliath the dwarf

Henry and Harry

Decide to switch places and

Henry gets into a trunk

 

His Kind of Woman

 

At my studio

All messages are handled

By Western Union

When I have nothing to do

I always iron my money

 

His New Job

 

With a tremendous

Shako on his head and an

Unmanageable

Sword at his side, he blunders

Through his role as a hero

 

Hit Parade of 1943

 

How to write a song

Do these old eyes deceive me?

Change change change of heart

So who took me home last night?

Harlem sandman tahm boom bah

 

Hit Parade of 1947

 

The chiquita from

I'll have that dream right away

Santa Anita

I threw a kiss to a star

Carts are going to the dogs

 

Hitler's Children

 

Brutalization

Mass dehumanization

Sterilization

She converts the Nazi youth

So they can die together


Hoi Polloi


What molds gentlemen?

Can it be heredity

Or environment?

It will break the old man's heart,

But you've got the drop on us

 

Hold Everything

 

Take it on the chin

And sing a little theme song

Alone together

Roses get the blues for you

Isn't this a cock-eyed world?

 

Hold Your Man

 

All I can say is

If you got a safe racket

You're crazy to fool

Around with another one

That jail food is terrible

 

A Hole in the Head

 

Once there was an ant

Who didn't know the meaning

Of the words, "You can't."

They're so happy and so poor.

Broke, yes, but not poor.  We're poor.

 

Holiday Inn

 

Let's start the New Year

Dreaming of a white Christmas

I can't tell a lie

Let's say it with firecrackers

Plenty to be thankful for

 

I long to be out

In the deep tangled wildwood

Stretching and yawning

Till I sleep like a child would

Kill time being lazy

 

Home from the Hill

 

They kill each other

A little at a time--tore

Me in half that way

Every day of my life

That's what they call family

 

Honey

 

Sing you sinners sing

What's in my little hope chest?

Let's be domestic

I don't need atmosphere so

What is this power I have?

 

Honeysuckle Rose

 

On the road again

The life I love is making

Music with my friends

Places that I've never been

Things I'll never see again

 

Honky Tonk

 

Con man extorts in

A sharp and violent ruse

Money for a church

Dancehall and palace of chance

They grow rich from their grafting

 

The Hoodlum Priest

 

He spent his time with

Thieves and killers!  This man who

Wore a priest's garb and lived

In a world of violence!

A city howled for his scalp

 

Horrors of the Black Museum

 

Haven't danced in months

A man I can do things with

I can't do with you

No woman can hold her tongue

Fools cannot be hypnotized

 

The Horse Soldiers

 

Marlowe hates medics

Wife died during surgery

Marlowe wounds leg

Military school cadets

Called to oppose intruders


Horses' Collars


Moe, Larry, the cheese!

He's marked that way because his

Father was a rat

Double Deal Decker

See that heel?  I ran that down!


The Hot Scots


Glen Heather Castle

'Tis late and the bonny banks

Of Scotland are closed

McLarry, McShemp, McMoe

Hi, Lorna, how ya doin'?


Hot Stuff


Go to his house and

Pretend you're carpet layers

I'm not that rugged

Potatoes boiled in varnish

And head cheese garnished with nails

 

The Hound of the Baskervilles

 

Fifty years ago

A black sheep went abroad and

Started a new life

Cousin?  What does it all mean?

Cool, calculated murder

 

The House I Live In

 

What's America?

The children in the playground

The faces I see

All races, all religions

That's American to me

 

House Made of Dawn

 

It's a holy thing

Those who run are the life that

Flows in our people

What's it going to be like?

We'll get drunk, see how it looks

 

House of Fear

 

Death stalking its halls

Horror seeping from its walls

The pattern of the

Puzzle seems to be forming

But the pieces don't fit in

 

House of Fright

 

Full-bodied frolic

Of sadism, murder, lust

And nightclub capers

Opium, can can dancers

Decadent depravity

 

House of Horrors

 

Deathless masterpiece

The perfect Neanderthal

Soon the whole world will

Recognize my genius

Things like this just don't happen

 

House of Numbers

 

Actually filmed

Within the escape-proof walls

Of San Quentin!  The

Most amazing getaway

And the blonde he did it for!

 

How Green Was My Valley

 

Firm father Morgan

A gentle but wise mother

Work in the coal mines

Marries the mine owner's son

Crosses the class barrier

 

How To Make a Monster

 

Infused with spirit

I'm going to stop these men

From destroying us

Barbeques the bad people

That's the way the footage cuts

 

How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying

 

Brotherhood of man

A noble tie that binds all

Human hearts and minds

Lifelong membership is free

Give each brother all you can

 

Cool clear eyes of a

Seeker of wisdom and truth

Upturned chin and the

Grin of impetuous youth

Bold brave spring of the tiger

 

Hud

 

Foot and mouth disease

Arrogant, unscrupulous

Ship the whole herd out

You're an unprincipled man

Out to do other people

 

The Human Comedy

 

I'll spit at the world

In event of drunkenness

I shall ask from you

A depth of understanding

That only comes from children

 

The Hurricane

 

If the gods had meant

Me for another, then why

Why did they send you?

Marry me at once or leave!

Well, since you put it that way--

 

Hurry!  Hurry!

 

A microscopic

Investigation of sperm

Cells lashing around

Double-exposed over flame

With the sounds of bombardment

 

Husbands and Wives

 

I've always had this

Penchant for kamikazes

And we both know it

They crash their plane into you

And you die along with them

 

The Hustler

 

All of a sudden

The pool cue is part of me

It's got nerves in it.

You feel the roll of those balls.

You don't have to look.  You know.
