The Covered Wagon Rolled Right Along Composer(s): Hy Heath - Britt Wood Performer(s): Spike Jones and multiple other artists
The covered wagon rolled right along While the pioneers gave out a happy song Sue and Pappy did the drivin' Mammy cooked and kept us thrivin' And the covered wagon rolled right along
We left Kentucky on the tenth of May Pappy said, "I'll see that we eat every day Mammy, you just grease the skillet If we some food, I'll just kill it" And the covered wagon rolled right along
We crossed the Reservation of the Sioux While the Indians stood and watched us passin' through Not a redskin dared to trifle While old Pappy had his rifle And the covered wagon rolled right along
For clothes we had to skin the buffalo But when winter came and brought the ice and snow Pappy's pants ran out of leather Mammy prayed for milder weather And the covered wagon rolled right along
At playin poker Pappy won his fame Once he got an Indian Chief into a game Pappy wound up with four deuces And a squaw with six papooses And the covered wagon rolled right along
Pappy sold the mules and then went on a spree And he said, "At last I have my liberty" Mammy said, "Cut out your braggin'" As she hitched him to the wagon And the covered wagon rolled right along
At last Old California came in view And we realised with hardship we were through Ma and Sue are lucky creatures Pappy's makin' western features And the covered wagon rolled right along

Performer(s): Javier Solís
and multiple other artists
Estoy en el puente de mi carabela y llevo mi alma prendida al timón Un soplo de amores empuja mi vela y zarpo cantando y zarpo cantando divina canción
Ni marco mi ruta ni llevo camino por donde mi nave ha de navegar Yo sé que sin rumbo me lleva el destino y será un día mi nave, será un día mi nave la reina del mar
Que marque mi ruta el ave que vuela la estrella errante o el raudo ciclón Yo quiero ver limpia mi fúlgida estrella y será un día mi nave, será un día mi nave la diosa del mar

L'hiver est doux quand sur un long lit
Son élan me dit tout qui vaille
Qu'il est bon de se sentir en vie
Tant pis si c'est un feu de paille
Elle a
Les airs de Venise
Et la
Gráce qui divinisent
Les lascives marquises de Carabat
Puis le temps pass' et toujours dit-on
En passant affadit l'amour
Comme je ris, des superstitions
Et pour moi au comme premier jour
Elle a
Les façon éprises
Et l'attitude évasive
Des latines marquises de Carabat
Son cur toujours à amadouer
L'aimer un défi qui m'effare
Mais pour moi, dussé-je m'y brûler
Rien d'autre ne peut compter car
Elle a
Brûlé mes valises
Et là
Désolé ladies
Mais l'amour fou m'électrise à Carabat
Elle a
Brûlé mes valises
Et là
Partout qu'on le dise
J'ai l'amour d'une marquise de Carabat

I wish I was a space man The fastest guy alive I'd fly you round the universe In Fireball XL-5 Way out in space together Compass of the sky My heart would be a fireball A fireball Everytime I gazed into your starry eyes
We'd take the path to Jupiter And maybe very soon We'd cruise along the Milky Way And land upon the moon To our wonderland of stardust We'll zoom our way to Mars My heart would be a fireball A fireball If you would be my Venus of the stars

The Country's In The Very Best Of Hands Composer(s): Gene de Paul - Johnny Mercer Performer(s): Shelly Manne and multiple other artists
Them city folks and friends Are pretty much alike Though they ain't used to living in the sticks We don't like stone or cement But we is in agreement When we get started talking politics
The country's in the very best of hands The best of hands The best of hands
The treasury says the national debt Is climbing to the sky And government expenditures Have never been so high It makes a fellow get a Gleam of pride when they decide To see how our economy expands The country's in the very best of hands
The country's in the very best of hands The best of hands The best of hands
You oughtta hear the senate When their drawing up a bill Where asses and dimwits are crowded in each conisil (sp.) Such legal terminology Would give your heart a thrill There's phrases there that no one understands The country's in the very best of hands
The building boom, they say Is getting bigger every day And when I asked a feller How could everybody pay He come up with an answer That made everything okay Supplies are getting greater than demands The country's in the very best of hands
Don't you believe them congressmen And senators are dumb When they run into problems That is tough to overcome They just declare something They call the moritorium The upper and the lower house dismans The country's in the very best of hands
Fox Motors is connected to the nominee The nominee's connected to the treasury When he ain't connected to the treasury He sits around on his thigh bone
He sits around in his fancy car This big congressional parking lot Just sits around on the you know what 'Cause there they calls it their thigh bone
Them bones, them bones Gonna rise again Gonna excercise a franchise again Gonna tax us up to our eyes again When he gets them off of their thigh bone
The country's in the very best of hands The best of hands The best of hands
The farm bill should be Eight-nine percent paroty And all their fellow recommends It should be mound at three But eighty, ninety-five percent who cares about decree It's paroty that no one understands The county's in the very best of hands
Them GOP's and democrats Each hates the other one They's always criticizing How the country should be run But neither tell the public What the others gone and done As long as no one knows Where no one stands The country's in the very best of hands
They sits around and just place their ass Where folks in congress has always sat Just sits around on their excess bag Up there they calls it their thigh bone
They sits around till they starts to snore Jumps up and hollers I has the floor Then sits right down where they sats before Up there they calls it their thigh bone
Them bones, them bones Gonna cross again So dignified and so wise again While the budget doubles in size again When it gets them off of their thigh bone
The country's in the very best of hands The best of hands The best of hands
The money that they taxes us That's known as revenues They compound up collaterals Subtracts the residue
Don't worry about the principal And interest it encrues They're shipping all that stuff to foreign lands The country's in the very best of hands
Dire qu'il a fallu mille Dante Pour dire ta splandeur Et mille Botticelli Pour peindre tes couleurs Belle Italie On a beau vivre loin de toi On n'oublie pas ton charme d'autrefois
Mais tes nuits si belles Ont troqué leur dentelle Pour un manteau de peur Pour un manteau de peur On tremble dans tes rues Et les chansons se sont tues Sous tes balcons en fleurs Sous tes balcons en fleurs
Mia cara Italia Qu'est-ce qu'il t'arrive la Ça n'te ressemble pas Ce masque de violence Mia cara Italia Fais que sous ton ciel bleu Tes amoureux Rêvent encore de romance
Dire que tout au long de ma vie J'ai gardé ta douceur Au fond de moi comme une nostalgie Belle Italie... pourquoi tant d'ironie Au moindre mot... qui veut toucher ton coeur
Est-ce vraiment stupide En ces temps fratricides De te parler d'amour De te parler d'amour De se faire une fête Quand un refrain s'entête À chanter les beaux jours À chanter les beaux jours
Mia cara Italia Qu'est-ce qu'il t'arrive la Ça n'te ressemble pas Ce masque de violence Mia cara Italia Fais que sous ton ciel bleu Tes amoureux Rêvent encore de romance
Fire To Ice Composer(s): Billy MacKenzie Performer(s): Associates
So summer came and warmed our smile We talked too much and all the while You know that love can turn so fast I should have known it wouldn't last
Wo wo wo wo still you go on testing me Wo wo wo wo it's not the way it's meant to be
So winter came broke every rule Kiss me goodbye strawberry fool and love can burn from fire to ice I never could take good advice
Wo wo wo wo still you go on testing me Wo wo wo wo it's not the way it's meant to be
Now you're feeling so pleased with yourself You're so sure and at ease with yourself Now you're stronger and need me no more Days are longer and I'm feeling sore At the risk of repeating myself What's the point of defeating yourself Don't you know you're just cheating (oh well)
Wo wo wo wo still you go on testing me Wo wo wo wo it's not the way it's meant to be
Now you're feeling so pleased with yourself You're so sure and at ease with yourself Now you're stronger and need me no more Days are longer and I'm feeling sore At the risk of repeating myself What's the point of defeating yourself Don't you know you're just cheating (oh well)
The Core Composer(s): Eric Clapton - Marcy Levy Performer(s): Eric Clapton
Every morning when I wake, a feeling soon begins to overtake me Ringing in my ears resounds through my brain; it finally surrounds me There is fire, there is life, there is passion, fever and fury There is love and there is hate, there is longing, anger and worry
Oh, I am a flame; feel it touch my heart And down at my core is the hottest part I can run without fear
If it should become too cold, I know I can endure the frostbite Oh, a blanket then I'll wrap around me; I keep myself so close to my sight No one then can cause me harm, just as the river runs into the sea 'Cause every day, a fire alarm is deafening the silence all around me
It is burning It is burning
You can trust me; we can laugh. Together we can share our sorrow I will give you secrets too, an attitude that you may borrow Gypsy woman said to me, "One thing you must bear in your mind You are young and you are free, but damned if you're deceased in your own lifetime"
Oh, you have a flame; feel it in your heart And down at the core is the hottest part We can run without fear
Tenho um peito de lata E um nó de gravata No coração Tenho uma vida sensata Sem emoção Tenho uma pressa danada Não paro pra nada Não presto atenção Nos versos desta canção Inútil
Tira a pedra do caminho Serve mais um vinho Bota vento no moinho Bota pra correr Bota força nessa coisa Que se a coisa pára A gente fica cara a cara Cara a cara cara a cara Bota lenha na fornalha Põe fogo na palha Bota fogo na batalha Bota pra ferver Bota força nessa coisa Que se a coisa pára A gente fica cara a cara Cara a cara cara a cara
Tenho um metro quadrado Um olho vidrado E a televisão Tenho um sorriso comprado A prestação Tenho uma pressa danada Não paro pra nada Não presto atenção Nas cordas desse violão Inútil
Tira a pedra do caminho ...
Tenho o passo marcado O rumo traçado sem discussão Tenho um encontro marcado Com a solidão Tenho uma pressa danada Não moro do lado Não me chamo João Não gosto nem digo que não É inútil
Tira a pedra do caminho ...
Vou correndo, vou-me embora Faço um bota-fora Pega um lenço agita e chora Cumpre o seu dever Bota força nessa coisa Que se a coisa pára A gente fica cara a cara Cara a cara cara a cara Com o que não quer ver
Fire On The Mountain Composer(s): George McCorkle Performer(s): The Marshall Tucker Band; Candy Coburn; George McCorkle
Took my fam'ly away from our Carolina home Had dreams about the west and started to roam Six long months on a dust covered trail They say heaven's at the end But so far it's been hell
And there's fire on the mountain Lightening in the air Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there
We were digging and shifting from five to five Selling ev'rything we found just to stay alive Gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars Sinning was the big thin Lord And satan was the star
And there's fire on the mountain Lightening in the air Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there
Dance hall girls were the evening treat Empty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the street Men were shot down for the sake of fun Or just to hear the noise of their 44 guns
And there's fire on the mountain Lightening in the air Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there
Now my widow, she weeps by my grave Tears flow free for her man she couldn't save Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame All for a useless and no good worthless claim
And there's fire on the mountain Lightening in the air Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there

Cara Composer(s): Lucio Dalla Performer(s): Lucio Dalla
Cosa ho davanti, non riesco più a parlare dimmi cosa ti piace, non riesco a capire, dove vorresti andare vuoi andare a dormire Quanti capelli che hai, non si riesce a contare sposta la bottiglia e lasciami guardare se di tanti capelli, ci si può fidare
Conosco un posto nel mio cuore dove tira sempre il vento per i tuoi pochi anni e per i miei che sono cento non c'è niente da capire, basta sedersi ed ascoltare Perché ho scritto una canzone per ogni pentimento e debbo stare attento a non cadere nel vino o finir dentro ai tuoi occhi, se mi vieni più vicino.........
La notte ha il suo profumo e puoi cascarci dentro che non ti vede nessuno ma per uno come me, poveretto, che voleva prenderti per mano e cascare dentro un letto..... che pena...che nostalgia non guardarti negli occhi e dirti un'altra bugia A..Almeno non ti avessi incontrato io che qui sto morendo e tu che mangi il gelato
Tu corri dietro al vento e sembri una farfalla e con quanto sentimento ti blocchi e guardi la mia spalla se hai paura a andar lontano, puoi volarmi nella mano ma so già cosa pensi, tu vorresti partire come se andare lontano fosse uguale a morire e non c'e' niente di strano ma non posso venire
Così come una farfalla ti sei alzata per scappare ma ricorda che a quel muro ti avrei potuta inchiodare se non fossi uscito fuori per provare anch'io a volare e la notte cominciava a gelare la mia pelle una notte madre che cercava di contare le sue stelle io li sotto ero uno sputo e ho detto "Ole'" sono perduto
La notte sta morendo ed e' cretino cercare di fermare le lacrime ridendo ma per uno come me l' ho gia detto che voleva prenderti per mano e volare sopra un tetto
Lontano si ferma un treno ma che bella mattina, il cielo e' sereno Buonanotte, anima mia adesso spengo la luce e così sia
Fire Lake Composer(s): Bob Seger Performer(s): Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
Who's gonna ride that chrome three wheeler Who's gonna make that first mistake Who wants to wear those gypsy leathers All the way to Fire Lake
Who wants to break the news about Uncle Joe You remember Uncle Joe He was the one afraid to cut the cake Who wants to tell poor Aunt Sarah Joe's run off to Fire Lake Joe's run off to Fire Lake
Who wants to brave those bronze beauties Lying in the sun With their long soft hair falling Flying as they run Oh they smile so shy And they flirt so well And they lay you down so fast Till you look straight up and say Oh Lord Am I really here at last
Who wants to play those eights and aces Who wants a raise Who needs a stake Who wants to take that long shot gamble And head out to Fire Lake Head out Who wants to go to Fire Lake And head out Who wants to go to Fire Lake Head out Out to Fire Lake Who's gonna do it
The Continental ((aka The Painless Dentist Song (Allan Sherman))
Composer(s): Con Conrad - Herbert Magidson
Performer(s): Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers
Ginger: Beautiful music... Dangerous rhythm... It's something daring, The Continental A way of dancing that's really 'entre nous' It's very subtle, The Continental Because it does what you want it to do It has a passion, The Continental An invitation to moonlight and romance It's quite the fashion, The Continental Because you tell of your love while you dance Your lips whisper so tenderly Her eyes answer your song Two bodies swaying, The Continental And you are saying just what you're dreaming of So keep on dancing, The Continental For it's a song of romance and of love You kiss while you're dancing
(Fred: Not a bad idea)
The Continental, hmmmmm It's continental You sing while you're dancing Your voice is gentle and sentimental You stroll together arm in arm You nonchalantly glide along with grace and charm You will find while you're dancing That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul A certain rhythm that you can't control And you will do The Continental all the time
