"We'll Understand It Better By And By," The Famous Davis Sisters

And Elvis Presley, "By And By":
Well children by and by when the morning comes
All the saints of God together they come
We will tell the story how the Lord will come
And we'll understand him better by and by...

"Swingin' On A Star," Bing Crosby
Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a mule?

And from "Hudson Hawk":

"Under the Sea" from The Little Mermaid
Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me...

"Ghostbusters," Ray Parker, Jr.
Mmm, if you've had a dose of a
Freaky ghost, baby
You better call
Ghostbusters!

Uh, think you better call
Ghostbusters!

"Anything Goes" from Anything Goes
Good authors too who once knew better words
Now only use four letter words
Writing prose, Anything goes...

"The Beautiful Briny" from Bedknobs and Broomsticks
What a chance
To get a better peep
At the plants
And creatures of the deep...

"Fast Car," Tracy Chapman
Any place is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself, I got nothing to prove...

"Mama Tried," Merle Haggard
And I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole
No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading, I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried

And Gregson & Collister:
