Me And My Shadow
Composer(s): Al Jolson; Dave Dreyer; Billy Rose
Performer(s): The Mills Brothers
and various other artists



Shades of night are falling and I'm lonely
Standing on the corner feeling blue
Sweethearts out for fun
Pass me by one by one
Guess I'll wind up like I always do
With only....

Me and my shadow
Strolling down the avenue
Oh, me and my shadow
Not a soul to tell our troubles to
And when it's twelve o'clock we climb the stairs
We never knock 'cause nobody's there
Just me and my shadow
All alone and feeling blue

When the sun sets on the far horizon
And the parlour lamps begin to glow
Jim and Jack and John
Put their slippers on.
They're all set but we're still on the go
So lonely....

Me and my shadow
Strolling down the avenue
Oh, me and my shadow
Not a soul to tell our troubles to
And when it's twelve o'clock we climb the stairs
We never knock 'cause nobody's there
Just me and my shadow
All alone and feeling blue 

On M'Appelle Simplet
Composer(s): Jean Manse; Roger Dumas
Performer(s): Fernandel



Les oiseaux sont mes confidents
Et quand je siffle entre mes dents
Ils me comprennent tous en somme
Ils sont plus sensibles à mes maux
Pour n'être que des animaux
Ils sont moins bêtes que les hommes
Voilà pourquoi autour de moi
Faisant la joie des villageois
D'un sobriquet on me prénomme
Toujours en me montrant du doigt
Avec un petit air narquois

On m'appelle Simplet
L'Innocent du village
Doux comme un agnelet
Je mène la vie d'un sage
Chantant gaiement
Moi, je vis de l'air du temps
Je dois tout ça
Aux conseils de mon papa
Je garde son secret
C'est mon seul héritage
Mon bonheur est complet
On m'appelle Simplet

On me prend pour un grand enfant
On est pour moi très indulgent
Tous mes péchés, on les pardonne
Je conjure le mauvais sort
Ma présence est un réconfort
C'est un peu de joie que je donne
Et c'est ainsi que sans souci
Sûr et hardi dans mon Midi
J'ai grandi de façon bouffonne
Si je n'ai pas beaucoup d'esprit
Au fond vous m'en voyez ravi

On m'appelle Simplet
L'Innocent du village
Doux comme un agnelet
Je mène la vie d'un sage
Chantant gaiement
Moi, je vis de l'air du temps
Je dois tout ça
Aux conseils de mon papa
Je garde son secret
C'est mon seul héritage
Mon bonheur est complet
On m'appelle Simplet, Simplet

Me And My Melinda
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Kay Kyser; Bunny Berigan; 
Johnny Desmond; Gene Krupa & His Orch.



Me and my Melinda
My Melinda and me
We are bound up together in sympathy
Me and my Melinda
We are seldom apart
On the nights when I feel 
Like a heart to heart
When I'm blue
We just sit there holding hands
And when we do 
My Melinda understands
When I'm having trouble 
That I cannot disclose
When I can't tell the world
Of my private woes
Long before I tell her
My Melinda knows 

On M'A Donné
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



On m'a donné des yeux et l'on m'a dit regardes
J'ai eu beau regarder je n'ai rien entrevu
On m'a donné un coeur et l'on m'a dit prends garde
J'ai eu beau prendre garde un jour je l'ai perdu
On m'a donné l'amour hélas je le regrette
Car il s'en est allé depuis je n'y crois plus
On m'a donné un corps mais j'ai perdu la tête
Et j'ai souillé mon corps dans des bras inconnus
On m'a donné, on m'a donné

On m'a donné des rêves mais quelle imposture
Car ces rêves ne sont que de longs cauchemars
On m'a donné des lèvres afin qu'elles murmurent
Elles n'ont jamais dit que des mots sans espoir
On m'a donné des larmes de joies de souffrances
Je ne pleure jamais car mon coeur est de bois
On m'a donné aussi en plus une conscience
Mais au fond de moi-même elle n'a plus de voix
On m'a donné, on m'a donné
Pourquoi

On m'a donné des livres afin que je lise
Mais je les ai brûlé sans les avoir ouverts
On m'a donné des mains pour les joindre à l'église
Mais qui sait si j'irai au ciel ou en enfer
On m'a donné une âme à garder pure et blanche
Mais j'ai vendu mon âme au diable un beau matin
On m'a donné la vie qui a pris sa revanche
Mais j'ai gâcher la vie que j'avais dans mes mains
Dieu m'est témoin on m'a donné
On m'a donné, en vain

Mama, let me go I don't want to stay 
Hey Daddy, put our whip away

hey, I've got to try to break away

On M'A Dit Que
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



On m'a dit qu'j'avais dit que
Du mal de toi parc'que
Tu t'répandais sur moi
C't'hiver j'aurai pas froid
Tu m'as bien habillé
Mais j't'ai bien costumée
Et ceux qui t'aiment font semblant t'écouter
C'est pour mieux te miner
Veulent nous voir séparés
Ne crois pas
Aux washah - washah - washah

Halte à tout, parle-moi, retrouvons-nous
Laisse les vipères siffler
Laisse le bon temps rouler
Même s'il y a pas d'fumée sans feu
L'amour ça s'brûle a deux
Mais on m'a dit qu't'as dit que

j'ne suis pas une mauvaise langue, je n'rapporterai pas
que quand j'rentre au p'tit matin, t'es pas toujours là

Washah - washah - washah

On m'a dit qu't'avais dit que
Du mal de moi parce que
Je balançais sur toi
Des choses qu'existaient pas
On m'a dit qu't'as dis que du mal de moi parce que
J't'ai délaissée mais j't'ai pas mis d'collier
J't'ai pas abandonnée
J'suis pas fait pour dresser
Ne crois pas
Aux washah - washah - washah

Je ressemble a tous ces chiens
Qu'on met d'vant les niches

Je fais semblant de garder
J'aboie, mais je triche

Washah - washah - washah

Me And My Baby
Performer(s): Ann Reinking & Boys; Rob Fisher



Roxie:
Look at my baby my baby and me.. 

Me and my baby 
My baby and me 
We're 'bout as happy as babies can be 
What if I find 
That I'm causght in a storm? 
I don't care 
my baby's there 
And baby's bound to keep me warm 
We're sticking together 
And ain't we got fun 
So much together 
You'd count us as one 
Tell old man worry to go climb a tree 
'cause I've got my baby 
I'm with my baby 
Look at my baby and me 

Looka my baby 
my baby and me 
A dream of a duo 
Now don't you agree 
Why keep it mum 
When there's nothing to hid? 
And what I feel 
I must reveal 
It's more that I can keep inside 
And I can assure you 
It won't go away 
Let me assur you 
It grow every day 
I was a one once 
But now I' a 'we' 
'cause I got my baby 
My dear little baby 
Looka my baby and me 

Roxie and boys:
Looka my baby 
My baby and me 
Facing the world 
Optimistically 
Nothing can stop us 
So nobody try 
'cause baby's rough 
And full of stuff 
And incidentally, so am I 
Get out of our way, folks 
And give us some room 
Watch how we bubble 
And blossom and bloom 
Life was a prison 
But we got the key 
Me and my baby 
My dear little baby 
My cute little baby 
My sweet little baby 
My fat little baby 
My soft little baby 
My pink little baby 
My bald little baby 
Looka my baby 

Roxie: 
And me 

On London Bridge
Composer(s): Roy Bennett; Sid Tepper
Performer(s): Jo Stafford



I walked on London Bridge last night
I saw you by the lamppost light
Then bells rang out in sleepy Londontown
And London Bridge came tumbling down

The sky was hidden by a mist
But just like magic when we kissed
The moon and stars were shining all around
When London Bridge came tumbling down

Just you and I over the river
Two hearts suspended in space
And there so high over the river
A miracle tookplace

Two empty arms found love to hold
Two smoke rings turned to rings of gold
I bless the night we met in Londontown
When London Bridge came tumbling down

Just you and I over the river
Two hearts suspended in space
And there so high over the river
A miracle took place

I bow my head in silent prayer
And thank Him for the love we share
He blessed the night we met in Londontown
When London bridge came tumbling down

Me And My Arrow
Composer(s): Harry Nilsson
Performer(s): Harry Nilsson;
Lori Cullen; Micky Dolenz; Hugo Montenegro



Me and my arrow
Straighter than narrow
Wherever we go, every one knows
It's me and my arrow

Me and my arrow
Taking the high road
Wherever we go, everyone knows
It's me and my arrow

And in the morning when I wake up
She may be gone, I don't know
And we make up just to break up
I'll carry on, oh yes I will

Me and my arrow
(do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do)
Straighter than narrow
Wherever we go, every one knows
It's me and my arrow

Me and my arrow
Me and my arrow
Me and my arrow
Me and mt arrow
Me and my arrow

Me and my arrow
(do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do)
Straighter than narrow
Wherever we go, every one knows
It's me and my arrow 

On Laisse Tous Un Jour
Composer(s): Vline Buggy;
Hugues Aufray; Michel Fugain
Performer(s): Michel Fugain



On laisse tous un jour
Un peu de notre vie
Sur une table
Dans le fond d'un café
Sur une table
Que l'on oublie jamais

On laisse tous un jour
Un peu de ses amis
Tous les poètes
Venus se mettre au chaud
Sur la banquette
Dans un coin de bistrot
On dit "salut"
On commande un demi
Et on refait le monde
Mais le monde est si grand
Qu'il nous faut bien toute la nuit

On laisse tous un jour
Un peu de nos amours
Que l'on griffonne
Sur la nappe en papier
Et qu'on chiffonne
Au fond d'un cendrier
Elle dit "bonjour"
On commande un demi
On lui promet le monde
Mais pour donner le monde
Il nous faut bien toute la nuit

La la la la la la...

Me And Mrs. Jones
Composer(s): Kenny Gamble; Leon Huff; Cary Gilbert
Performer(s): Billy Paul



Me and Mrs. Jones, we got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong 
But it's much too strong to let it cool down now
We meet ev'ry day at the same cafe
Six-thirty I know she'll be there 
Holding hands, making all kinds of plans 
While the jukebox plays our favorite song
Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
Mrs. Jones got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it cool down now
We gotta be extra careful that we don't build our hopes too high 
Cause she's got her own obligations and so do I 
Me, me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
Mrs. Jones got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it cool down now
Well, it's time for us to be leaving
Iit hurts so much, it hurts so much inside
Now she'll go her way and I'll go mine
But tomorrow we'll meet the same place, the same time
Me and Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones

Me And Molly
Composer(s): Willie P. Bennett
Performer(s): Willie P. Bennett



The sun she was dying and going down slow 
The clouds were bursting and bringing down snow 
And all in all no one really cared to know 
That the bitter end of summer was dying

Now I've watched a million dreams 
Go up in smoke 
And Lord the way I laugh and scream about it 
It ain't no joke anymore 
Anyway 
Who spoke about it

The clouds went away and the moon came to stay 
And the stars were sending down 
Jeweled fire 
And it shone through my window 
And showed me the glow 
Of Molly still flushed with desire

Now we would all like to close our eyes 
And lick the snow as it goes by 
Feel it in our faces 
Hold a hand full of aces 
And be the winner 
When it comes time for us to die

The sun she was dying and going down slow 
The clouds were bursting and bringing down snow 
And all in all no one really cared to know 
That the bitter end of summer was dying 

On Hyndford Street
Composer(s): Van Morrison
Performer(s): Van Morrison



Take me back, take me way, way, way back
On Hyndford Street
Where you could feel the silence at half past eleven
On long summer nights
As the wireless played Radio Luxembourg
And the voices whispered across Beechie River
In the quietness as we sank into restful slumber in the silence
And carried on dreaming, in God
And walks up Cherry Valley from North Road Bridge, railway line
On sunny summer afternoons
Picking apples from the side of the tracks
That spilled over from the gardens of the houses on Cyprus Avenue
Watching the moth catcher working the floodlights in the evenings
And meeting down by the pylons
Playing round Mrs. Kelly's lamp
Going out to Holywood on the bus
And walking from the end of the lines to the seaside
Stopping at Fusco's for ice cream
In the days before rock 'n' roll
Hyndford Street, Abetta Parade
Orangefield, St. Donard's Church
Sunday six-bells, and in between the silence there was conversation
And laughter, and music and singing, and shivers up the back of the neck
And tuning in to Luxembourg late at night
And jazz and blues records during the day
Also Debussy on the third programme
Early mornings when contemplation was best
Going up the Castlereagh hills
And the cregagh glens in summer and coming back
To Hyndford Street, feeling wondrous and lit up inside
With a sense of everlasting life
And reading Mr. Jelly Roll and Big Bill Broonzy
And "Really The Blues" by "Mezz" Mezzrow
And "Dharma Bums" by Jack Kerouac
Over and over again
And voices echoing late at night over Beechie River
And it's always being now, and it's always being now
It's always now
Can you feel the silence?
On Hyndford Street where you could feel the silence
At half past eleven on long summer nights
As the wireless played Radio Luxembourg
And the voices whispered across Beechie River
And in the quietness we sank into restful slumber in silence
And carried on dreaming in God

Me And Little Andy
Composer(s): Dolly Parton
Performer(s): Dolly Parton



Late one cold and stormy night I heard a dog a-barkin' 
Then I thought I heard somebody at my door a-knockin' 
I wondered who could be outdide in such an awful storm 
Then I saw a little girl with a puppy in her arms 
Before I could say a word she said, "My name is Sandy 
And this here is my puppy dog, it's name is little Andy" 
Standing in the bitter cold in just a ragged dress 
Then I asked her to come in and this is what she said...

"Ain't ya got no gingerbread 
Ain't ya got no candy 
Ain't ya got an extra bed for me and little Andy 
Patty cake and bakersman 
My mommy ran away again 
And we was all alone and didn't know what else to do 
I wonder if you'll let us stay with you 

Giddy up trotty horse, going to the mill 
Can we stay all night 
If you don't love us no one will 
I promise we won't cry 
London bridge is fallin' down 
My daddy's drunk again in town 
And we was all alone and didn't know what we could do 
I wonder if you'll let us stay with you" 

She was just a little girl, not more than six or seven 
But that night as they slept the angels took them both to heaven 
God knew little Andy would be lonesome with her gone 
Now Sandy and her puppy dog won't ever be alone 

Ain't ya got no gingerbread 
Ain't ya got no candy 
Ain't ya got an extra bed for me and little (whispers) Andy 

On Horseback
Composer(s): Mike Oldfield; William Murray
Performer(s): Mike Oldfield



I like beer, and I like cheese
I like the smell of a westerly breeze
But what I like more than all of these
Is to be on horseback

Hey and away we go
Through the grass, across the snow
Big brown beastie, big brown face
I'd rather be with you than flying through space

I like thunder, and I like rain
And open fires, and roaring flames
But if the thunder's in my brain
I'd like to be on horseback

Some like the city, some the noise
Some make chaos, and others, toys
But if I was to have the choice
I'd rather be on horseback

Chorus

Some find it strange to be here
On this small planet, and who knows where
But when it's strange and full of fear
It's nice to be on horseback

Some are short, and others tall
Some hit their heads against the wall
But it doesn't really matter at all
When you happen to be on horseback

Chorus

So if you you feel a little glum
To Hergest Ridge you should come
In summer, winter, rain or sun
It's good to be on horseback

Chorus

Chorus

You know, I'd rather be on horseback

Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Paul Simon
and various other artists



The mama pajama rolled out of bed
And she ran to the police station
When the papa found out he began to shout
And he started the investigation
It's against the law
It was against the law
What the mama saw
It was against the law

The mama looked down and spit on the ground
Everytime my name gets mentioned
The papa said oy if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention 
Well I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way I'm taking my time
But I done know where
Goodbye to Rosie the queen of Corona
See you, me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
Me and Julio down by the schoolyard

In a couple of days they come and
Take me away
But the press let the story leak
And when the radical priest
Come to get me released
We was all on the cover of Newsweek
And I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way I'm taking my time
But I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie the queen of Corona
See you, me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard

Qui est là
Personne
C'est simplement mon cœur qui bat
Qui bat très fort
A cause de toi
Mais dehors
La petite main de bronze sur la porte de bois
Ne bouge pas
Ne remue pas
Ne remue pas seulement le petit bout du doigt

Me And I
Composer(s): Benny Andersson; Björn Ulvaeus
Performer(s): ABBA



Sometimes when I'm mad 
There's a part of me that seems to be a little sad
Sometimes when I scream
There's a voice in me that says, "You shouldn't be so mean"
Oh no, oh no
Part of me is acting while the other stands beside
Yes, I am to myself what Jekyll must have been to Hyde

We're like sun and rainy weather
Sometimes we're a hit together
Me and I
Gloomy moods and inspiration
We're a funny combination
Me and I
I don't think I'm different or in any way unique
Think about yourself for a minute
And you'll find the answer in it
Everyone's a freak

Sometimes I have toyed
With ideas that I got from good old Dr. Freud
Nothing new of course
It may seem to you I try to break through open doors
Oh no, oh no
I just wanna say a lot of that applies to me
'Cause it's an explanation to my split identity

We're like sun and rainy weather
Sometimes we're a hit together
Me and I
Gloomy moods and inspiration
We're a funny combination
Me and I
I don't think I'm different or in any way unique
Think about yourself for a minute
And you'll find the answer in it
Everyone's a freak

Me and I...

We're like sun and rainy weather
Sometimes we're a hit together
Me and I
Gloomy moods and inspiration
We're a funny combination
Me and I
I don't think I'm different or in any way unique
Think about yourself for a minute
And you'll find the answer in it
Everyone's a freak

We're like sun and rainy weather
Sometimes we're a hit together
Me and I
Gloomy moods and inspiration
We're a funny combination
Me and I... 

On Every Street
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Dire Straits; The Tribute Band



there's gotta be a record of you some place
you gotta be on somebody's books
the lowdown - a picture of your face
your injured looks

the sacred and profane
the pleasure and the pain
somewhere your fingerprints remain concrete
and it's your face I'm looking for

a ladykiller - regulation tattoo
silver spurs on his heels
says - what can I tell you as I'm standing next to you
she threw herself under my wheels
oh it's a dangerous road
and a hazardous load
and the fireworks over liberty expode in the heat
and it's your face I'm looking for

a three-chord symphony crashes into space
the moon is hanging upside down
I don't know why it is I'm still on the case
it's a ravenous town
and you still refuse to be traced
seems to me such a waste
and every victory has a taste that's bittersweet
and it's your face I'm looking for
