Minnie The Moocher Composer(s): Cab Calloway; Clarence Gaskill; Irving Mills Performer(s): Danny Kaye and various other artists
Folks, now here´s a story about Minnie the Moocher She was a red hot hoochie-koocher She was the roughest, toughest faril but Minnie had a heart as big as a wha-a-le
Now she messed around with a bloke named Smoky She loved him though he was cokey He took her down to Chinatown He showed her how to kick the gong around
Hodey-ho Hidey-hi Whaddy-whee-ho Hodey-ho-dee-ho
Now she had a dream about the King of Sweden He gave her things that she was needin´ He gave her a home that was built of gold and steel A diamond car with platinum wheels
Whaddy-whoody-way Oh baby Wanna-be-beyou Hodey-ho
Now he gave her his townhouse and his racing horses Each meal she ate was a dozen courses She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes And she sat around and counted ´em all a million times
Out Of Time Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards Performer(s): Chris Farlowe; and various other artists
You don't know what's going on, You've been away for far too long You can't come back and think you are still mine You're out of touch my baby, My poor old fashioned baby I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time Yes, you are left out, yes, you are I said you're left out of there without a doubt 'cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You thought you were a clever girl, Giving up your social whirl But you can't come back and be the first in line, oh no You're obsolete, my baby, My poor old fashioned baby I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time Yes, you are left out, yes, you are I said you're left out of there without a doubt 'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time Yes, you are left out, yes, you are I said you're left out of there without a doubt 'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Minnie Shimme For Me Composer(s): Jimmy Lucas; Billy Frisch
Big Sam Green had a queen, a regular dance hall houn' And every where this gal would go Big Sam would sure be foun' She worked down in Sam's laundry Waited on the trade all day When an idle hour would roll around You'd hear big Sam Green says
Minnie Snow said I'll go and nurse all the boys from France And every day, to cheer them up She'll do her little dance The boys all seemed to like it For they all would soon get well Everytime that she would pass their cots You'd hear the boys all yell
Minnie shimme for me Minnie, shimme for me Get way down, bend your knees Do that lovin' shiveree Minnie, shimme for me you're as sweet as you can be You're better than a Broadway show You're graceful when you move so slow Say that's some dance (Oh Boy) Let's go Minnie do the shimme for me
Minnie shimme for me Minnie, shimme for me Get way down, bend your knees Do that lovin' shiveree Minnie, shimme for me you're as sweet as you can be A soldier in an ambulance got just one look at Minne's dance And yelled I'm cured I'll take one chance Minnie do the shimme for me
Out Of The Question Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
One minute you say you will And the next you won't One minute you want me And the next you don't You're turning me upside down Giving me the run around Don't think that I don't know I do Don't think that I won't go You watch me It isn't out of question
One minute you're kissing me And the next you're not One minute you remember And the next you've forgot I don't like it one little bit You're giving me the slip Don't think that I don't know I do Don't think that I won't go If you want me It's really out of the question
Between us we could have conquered Everest Sailed empty handed around the world But no you couldn't wait You had to go make the fatal mistake Of leading me on You silly girl, that was wrong
Don't think that I don't know I do Don't think that I won't go You watch me It isn't out of question
One minute you're full of life And the next you're sad One minute you're marvellous And the next you're bad I don't like it one little bit You're giving me the slip Don't think that I don't know I do Don't think that I won't go If you want me It's really out of the question
I'm doing my best and I don't know why I'm giving her a call and there's no reply She's getting me down till I can't get up She's giving me hell and if that's not enough She's breaking my heart nearly every day Not only in pieces but every way I'm sorry of course but the fault is hers

Out Of The East Composer(s): Jean C. Havez; Joe Rosey
Pale moon in the Eastern sky Look down where Arabs lie Smile down on the cavalcade Wake not little dark eyed maid Dreaming of a Prince so bold High up on a throne of gold Singing in a vision rare Pleading to his dream love fair
Far far from the desert sands Yonder in the vineyard lands There dear is the place we'll go There dear where the breezes blow Palm trees wave a welcome dear Swaying in the sunlight clear Blue skies with an opal glow Calling bid us gently go
Oriental maiden Be my jewel laden Princess all array'd in glory Dream of love's sweet longing Tender fancies thronging Told in royal song and story See the Sphinx beguiling Pyramids are smiling To my sweet heart while in slumber All the sentimental All the Oriental Dreams are born Out of the East
Minha Selva Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Des pas au couchant se glissent Dans la poussière du soleil Des patios aux dalles lisses Des hamacs sans sommeil L'eau transparente qu'on rêve Et qui jamais n'apparaît Vient la valse des regrets
Noir labyrinthe des jungles Où le chasseur disparaît Egorgé près de son flingue Par le tigre qu'il voulait La chaleur et puis la fièvre Et l'attente du passeur Voyageur
Minha selva, minha selva
Etre à l'aube des échecs Seul avec des jivaros Sans un mot, avec des chefs Venus du Mato Grosso C'est la selva qui t'enseigne La solitude des rois La solitude
Dans l'abstraction végétale La forêt prend des allures Formidables de cathédrales Dressés dans le clair-obscur Le temps n'est pas un chantage Il ne prouve pas le vécu
Minha selva, minha selva
Qui peut vivre ici, des hommes Qui n'ont jamais connu de loi Je parle de la loi des hommes Dont la nature ne veut pas Qui connaissent comme personne Tout ce que vous ne saurez pas La selva
Out Of Nowhere Composer(s): Edward Heyman; Johnny Green Performer(s): Lena Horne; and various other artists
You came to me from out of nowhere You took my heart and found it free Wonderful dreams, wonderful schemes from nowhere Made every hour sweet as a flower to me And if you should go back to your nowhere Leaving me with the memory Ill always wait for your return out of nowhere Hoping youll bring your love to me
When I least expected, kindly fate directed You to make each dream of mine come true And if its clear or raining there is no explaining Things just happened and so did you
You came to me from out of nowhere You took my heart and you found it free Wonderful dreams, wonderful schemes from nowhere Made every hour sweet as a flower to me And if you should go back to your nowhere Leaving me with, with the memory Ill always wait for your return out of nowhere Hoping youll bring your love to me
Minha História Composer(s): Chico Buarque; Lucio Dalla; P. Pallottino Performer(s): Chico Buarque; Maria Bethânia
Ele vinha sem muita conversa, sem muito explicar Eu só sei que falava e cheirava e gostava de mar Sei que tinha tatuagem no braço e dourado no dente E minha mãe se entregou a esse homem perdidamente
Ele assim como veio partiu não se sabe pra onde E deixou minha mãe com o olhar cada dia mais longe Esperando, parada, pregada na pedra do porto Com seu único velho vestido cada dia mais curto
Quando enfim eu nasci minha mãe embrulhou-me num manto Me vestiu como se fosse assim uma espécie de santo Mas por não se lembrar de acalantos, a pobre mulher Me ninava cantando cantigas de cabaré
Minha mãe não tardou a lertar toda a vizinhança A mostrar que ali estava bem mais que uma simples criança E não sei bem se por ironia ou se por amor Resolveu me chamar com o nome do Nosso Senhor
Minha história é esse nome que ainda hoje carrego comigo Quando vou bar em bar, viro a mesa, berro, bebo e brigo Os ladrões e as amantes, meus colegas de copo e de cruz Me conhecem só pelo meu nome Menino Jesus
Out Of My Mind Composer(s): Dino Valenti Performer(s): Quicksilver
Out of my mind, that's what she said to me she was unkind, said I was crazy I thought that was cruel, she didn't know me at all What can you do when someone tells you you're insane? She heard the news, knew all about me, I was too strange She could do very well without me, and I didn't cry, I tried to say hello But it makes you feel crazy when somebody calls you insane I tried to tell her things were all right with me, she wouldn't listen for a minute But then when she told me it was all in my mind, what else can a poor boy do? It pays to let her fly over to the table Where the games were measured out in thin white lines The last time I saw her, she was stoned out of her mind How many minds had she sent spinning only to find they hadn't gone anywhere at all? I said that was sad, she didn't understand It hurts in your heart when somebody says you're insane I tried to tell her things were all right with me, she wouldn't listen for a minute But then when she told me it was all in my mind, what else can a poor boy do? It pays to let her fly over to the table Where the games were measured out in thin white lines The last time I saw her she was tryin' to blow her mind What can you do when someone tells you you're insane? What can you do? Stop for a while and listen, stop for a while and listen, and then some easy go your way
Minha Canção Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Vania Abreu
Dorme a cidade Resta um coração Misterioso Faz uma ilusão Soletra um verso Lavra a melodia Singelamente Dolorosamente Doce a música Silenciosa Larga o meu peito Solta-se no espaço Faz-se a certeza Minha cançao Réstia de luz onde Dorme o meu irmão
Out Of My Head And Back In My Bed Composer(s): Peggy Forman Performer(s): Loretta Lynn
Lying alone in this big ol' bed Got you on the mind I said when you left I could make it by myself But it gets harder all the time
And I can't take it no more I see your face Every time I close my eyes So I'm going out now and I'm lookin' for you Some winter night
I want you out of my head and back in my bed 'Fore the mornin' sun comes up I can't stand another night without you holding me tight I miss your lovin' touch I'm gonna search everywhere That you might be When I find you I'm a bringin' you home with me I want you out of my head and back in my bed 'Fore the mornin' comes
Well I might find somebody new To share my misery But no other man can do what you can When it comes to lovin' me
Oh I don't want nobody to say that I was a fool for being good I won't be satisfied till you're Back in my arms and I'm lovin' you
I want you out of my head and back in my bed 'Fore the mornin' sun comes up I can't stand another night without you holding me tight I miss your lovin' touch I'm gonna search everywhere That you might be When I find you I'm a bringin' you home with me I want you out of my head and back in my bed 'Fore the mornin' comes
I want you out of my head and back in my bed 'Fore the mornin' sun comes up I can't stand another night without you holding me tight I miss your lovin' touch I'm gonna search everywhere That you might be When I find you I'm a bringin' you home with me I want you out of my head and back in my bed 'Fore the mornin' comes
Mine For Me Composer(s): Paul McCartney; Linda McCartney Performer(s): Rod Stewart
In a couple of hours I'll be drivin' home to the one I love So save your breath sweet painted lady it won't be me Over the mountain and under the sea They'll never be another one like mine for me
It was only an hour or so ago that I sang my song Persuaded painted ladies that I could say I'd been free Over the mountain and under the sea They'll never be another one like mine for me
Mine is always, mine is grand Don't you know that the woman that love me she understands And can't you see that it's mine for me And in a couple of hours I'll be driving home to the one I love So save your breath sweet painted lady it won't be me Over the mountain and under the sea They'll never be another one like mine for me You're for me
Mine is always, mine is grand Don't you know that the woman that love me she understands And can't you see that it's mine for me They'll never be another one like mine for me They'll never be another one like mine for me
Out Of My Dreams Composer(s): Richard Rogers; Oscar Hammerstein II Performer(s): Joan Roberts; and various other artists
Out of my dreams and into your arms I long to fly I will come as evening comes to woo a waiting sky Out of my dreams and into the hush of falling shadows When the mist is low and stars are breaking through Then out of my dreams I'll go Into a dream with you Won't have to make up anymore stories You'll be there! Think of the bright midsummer night Glories we can share Won't have to go on kissing a daydream I'll have you You'll be real Real as the white moon lighting the blue Out of my dreams and into your arms I long to fly I will come as evening comes to woo a waiting sky Out of my dreams and into the hush of falling shadows, When the mist is low and stars are breaking through Then out of my dreams I'll go Into a dream with you
Mine All Mine Composer(s): Michael Anthony; Sammy Hagar; Alex Van Halen; Eddie Van Halen Performer(s): Van Halen
Forgive me father For I have sinned I've been through hell and back again Shook hands with the devil Looked him in the eye Looked like a long lost friend Anything you want Any dirty deeds He's got everything Except what I really need Keepin' me temporarily satisfied But not one thing I tried Filled me up inside Or felt like mine Mine, all mine Yeah, the search goes on The more I look My world keeps getting smaller Staring at the sun Searchin' for the light Almost ended up blinded Some only see What they want to see Claiming victory Oh, but that's not me Give me truth Give me something real I just want to feel Like it's Mine, all mine Oh really mine, all mine Come on give me something Something that's mine, all mine, all mine Mine, all mine All the words on the wall Look the same in the mirror Every riddle Every clue You got Allah in the east You got Jesus in the west Christ, what's a man to do? They'll find a cure for anything Just kill the pain Numb my brain We see a man Speaking the word of God Provin' to be a fraud His own church applauds Stop lookin' out Start lookin' in Be your own best friend Stand up and say Hey! This is mine All mine, all mine, all mine Baby, you got something And I got something And it's mine, all mine, all mine Mine, all mine Mine, all mine Yes, I'm searching Mine, all mine Got to have it Mine, all mine Mine, all mine
Out Of My Control Composer(s): Ken Hensley Performer(s): Ken Hensley
The empty conversation The coldness of your touch The moments of frustration That always hurt so much The look in your eyes that seems to say Nothings ever enough Well it seems like Ive tried every way To give you all my love
But its out of my control Its all up to you Yes, its out of my control What you gonna do Everything I say, everything I do Never seems to satisfy you So Ill say it again, Im gonna let you go Its up to you Cause its out of my control
Ive felt this strange resistance To the things Ive said and done And Ive tried to keep my distance I knew there was something wrong But without communication Without a message from your heart Theres only empty expectation And a love thats torn apart
Mine Composer(s): Roy Bennett; Sid Tepper Performer(s): Elvis Presley
Mine is a heart That beats for only you Mine is a love that always will be true For ever more, beyond the end of time I will be your love, promise you'll be mine
Mine is a heart That beats for only you Mine is a love that always will be true For ever more, beyond the end of time I will be your love, promise you'll be mine
Mind, Body, And Soul Composer(s): Ronald Dunbar; Edith Wayne Performer(s): Flaming Ember
My eyes are closed but yet they see The beauty of your love here surrounding me Though you're not here, you're not far away And in my silence you can hear me say
I give my love to you all my body and soul I give my mind to you with a love that'll never grow old Give my love to you all my body and soul Give my mind to you with a love that'll never grow old
You are my smiles the last tears You are my days, my weeks, my years You are the flowers beneath my window sill You are everything beautiful everything that's real
I give my love to you all my body and soul I give my mind to you with a love that'll never grow old
One day my life it will be over, but I have no fears Cause nothing lasts but the years But I love you now with every breath And I believe I'll love you more after death
I give my love to you all my body and soul I give my mind to you with a love that'll never grow old
You are the winter, girl you are the spring You are the Bible, girl you are the ring You are the lover you are the friend You are the beginning, girl you are the end
I give my love to you all my body and soul I give my mind to you with a love that'll never grow old
Out In The Streets Composer(s): Jeff Barry; Ellie Greenwich Performer(s): The Shangri-Las; and various other artists
He don't hang around with the gang no more He don't do the wild things that he did before He used to act bad Used to, but he quit it It make me so sad Cause I know that he did it for me (Yes he did now) And I can see (It's still in the streets) His heart, out in the street He don't comb his hair like he did before He don't wear those dirty old black boots no more But he's not the same Somethin about his kissin That tells me he's changed I know that something's missing inside (mumble mumble) Somethin's died (It's still in the streets) His heart, out in the street He grew up on the sidewalk Streetlight shinin above He grew up with no-one to love He grew up on the sidewalk He grew up running free He grew up and then he met me He don't hang around with the gang no more Gee, he doesn't smile like he did before I wish I didn't care I wish I'd never met him They're waitin downstairs I know I've got to set him free (mumble mumble) He's gotta be (Out in the street) His heart is out in the street He don't hang around with the gang no more (Out in the street) He don't hang around with the gang no more (Out in the street) He don't hang around with the gang no more (Out in the street) (Fade out repeating this)
