Days Of Pearly Spencer
((Italian Version: Il Volto Della Vita (Caterina Caselli) - 1968))
Composer(s): David McWilliams
First release by: David McWilliams - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



A tenement, a dirty street
Walked and worn by shoeless feet
Inside it's long and so complete
Watched by a shivering sun
Old eyes in a small child's face
Watching as the shadows race
Through walls and cracks and leave no trace
And daylight's brightness shuns

The days of Pearly Spencer
The race is almost run

Nose pressed hard on frosted glass
Gazing as the swollen mass
On concrete fields where grows no grass
Stumbles blindly on
Iron trees smother the air
But withering they stand and stare
Through eyes that neither know nor care
Where the grass is gone

The days of Pearly Spencer
The race is almost run

Pearly where's your milk white skin
What's that stubble on your chin
It's buried in the rot gut gin
You played and lost not won
You played a house that can't be beat
Now look your head's bowed in defeat
You walked too far along the street
Where only rats can run

The days of Pearly Spencer
The race is almost run
The days of Pearly Spencer
The race is almost run
The race is almost run

A tenement, a dirty street
Remember worn and shoeless feet
Remember how you stood to beat
The way your life had gone
So Pearly don't you shed more tears
For those best forgotten years
Those tenements are memories
Of where you've risen from

The days of Pearly Spencer
The race is almost won

Flagrant Délit
Composer(s): V. Buggy; J. Lepers
Performer(s): Herbert Léonard



J'aime le goût salé de ta peau
Quand ton corps tout bronzé sort de l'eau
Et ce parfum léger qui me rend fou
J'aime tes yeux étranges qui sourient
Quand tes lèvres me mangent comme un fruit
Ce plaisir qui dérange autour de nous

Pris en flagrant délit de tendresse
Encore tout éblouis de promesses
Avoir envie de toi envie de nous
Pris en flagrant délit de tendresse
J'aime quand tu mendies mes caresses
Dans une ultime étreinte, oublier tout

J'aime te voir frémir sous mes doigts
J'aime quand tu soupires contre moi
Et mourir, mourir en toi
J'aime les mots troublants des secrets
Que tu murmures avant et après
Qui font battre mon sang, trembler ma voix

J'aime quand tu gémis de plaisir
Et toute anéantie te sentir
Amoureusement blottie entre mes bras
Pris en flagrant délit de tendresse
Encore tout éblouis de promesses
Avoir envie de toi envie de nous

Pris en flagrant délit de tendresse
J'aime quand tu mendies mes caresses
Dans une ultime étreinte, oublier tout
J'aime te voir frémir sous mes doigts
J'aime quand tu soupires contre moi
Et mourir, mourir en toi
Pris en flagrant délit de tendresse
J'aime quand tu mendies mes caresses
Dans une ultime étreinte, oublier tout
Pris en flagrant délit, oui

Days Of My Youth
Composer(s): Kuiokalani Lee
Performer(s): Don Ho
and multiple other artists



Used to fly like the birds on the wings of the wind
I have played in the sun with a joy deep within
I had laughter as a toy and a sweet for my tooth
In the beautiful days of my youth

Ev'ry one that I met was a friend, not a foe
The fears I have learned way back then I didn't know
Not one deed meant unkind, not one thought uncouth
In the beautiful days of my youth

The time quickly passed, the years traveled on
The hopes and the dreams have diminished and gone
Now the child that I face, how familiar he seems
He's wearing my eyes and living my dreams

Ah, my innocent child
I'll spare the untruths
Of the magical days, the bright shining days
The beautiful days of your youth

Oh, Carol 
Don't let him steal your heart away 
I'm gonna learn to dance 
If it takes me all night and day 

Climb into my machine so we can groove on out 
I know some swinging little joint where we can jump and shout 
It's not too far back on the highway not so long a ride 
You park the car out in the open you can walk inside 
A little cutie takes your hat and you can thank her ma'am 
'Cause every time you make the scene you find the joint is jammed 

Oh, Carol 
Don't let him steal your heart away 
I'm gonna learn to dance 
If it takes me all night and day 

Now, if you want to hear some music like the boys are playing 
Hold tight, bang your foot don't let it carry you away 
Don't let the heat overcome you when they play so loud 
Won't the music intrigue you when they get a crowd 
Well you can't dance I know you would you could 
I got my eyes on you, baby, cause you dance so good 

Oh, Carol 
Don't let him steal your heart away 
I'm gonna learn to dance 
If it takes me all night and day 

Oh, Carol 
Don't let him steal your heart away 
I've got to learn to dance 
If it takes me all night and day

Flagenheim's Odorless Cheese
Composer(s): Al Dubin; Harry Warren
Performer(s): Dick Powell



There are theme songs and theme songs and theme songs
You hear ev'ry night on the air
There are cigarette, coffee, and cream songs
And songs about clothes you should wear
But the song of all theme songs, the tune of all tunes
Is the song that the Flagenheim baritone croons

To enjoy your veal cutlets, potatoes and peas
Top off your dinner with Flagenheim cheese
It will aid your digestion
So take my suggestion
Get Flagenheim's odorless cheese

The Day You Leave Me
Composer(s): Cy Coleman - C. Gore
Performer(s): Tony Bennett



On the day you leave me, it still will be spring
Roses will be blooming, and robins will sing
Subways will be running, doorbells will ring
And all in all, the sky won't fall
The sun won't suddenly grow colder
Without your arm around my shoulder

On the day you leave me, there still will be stars
Fog in San Francisco, and rockets to Mars
Balconies and moonlight, Spanish guitars 
But will they be of any use to me?
For I know after you've gone, somehow, life will go on
How it will continue, I just don't have a clue
On the day I don't have you

Caro Nome

Gualtier Maldè!.. Nome di lui siamato
ti scolpisci nel core innamorato!

Caro nome che il mio cor festi primo palpitar
Le delizie dell'amor mi dêi sempre rammentar!

Col pensier il mio desir a te sempre volerà
E fin l'ultimo sospir, caro nome, tuo sarà

Col pensier il mio desir a te sempre volerà
E fin l'ultimo mio sospir, caro nome, tuo sarà

Col pensier il mio desir a te sempre volerà
A te volerà, fin l'ultimo sospir, fin l'ultimo sospir, caro nome, tuo sarà

Caro nome tuo sarà, il mio desir a te ognora volerà
Fin l'ultimo sospiro tuo sarà!

Gualtier Maldè!.. Gualtier Maldè!..
Caro nome che il mio cor festi primo palpitar (Borsa: E là)
E fin l'ultimo sospir (Ceprano: Miratela) (Cortigiani: Oh, quanto è bella!)

Gualtier Maldè!.. Gualtier Maldè!.. 
(Cortigiani: L'amante è quella di Rigoletto! Oh, quanto è bella!)

Fixing To Live
Composer(s): Judy Pulver
Performer(s): Petula Clark



And I feel like
I'm fixing to live again
To love again
I feel like I'm home

And I feel just like
I know myself once more
When you walked out the door
The feeling was gone

And the moral is us
It can only be us
Get down on one
So down low
And even a smile would
Probably mean a great deal
With problems with
No place to go, no

And I feel like I'm 
Fixing to live again
To love again
I feel like I'm home

I feel like I'm 
Fixing to live again
Fixing to love again
I feel like I'm home

And the moral is us
It can only be us
Get down on one
So down low
And even a smile would
Probably mean a great deal
With problems with
No place to go, no

Oh, oh
Yeah

And I feel like I'm a tree
With a lot of leaves
Plenty more of these
So won't you take some

And I feel like
I've come a long way you know
Still a long way to go
That's how it's done

And the moral is us
It can only be us
Get down on one
So down low
And even a smile would
Probably mean a great deal
With problems with
No place to go, no

And I feel like 
I'm fixing to live again
To love again
I feel like I'm home

I feel like 
I'm fixing to live again
Fixing to love again
I feel like I'm home

I feel like 
I'm fixing to live again
Fixing to love again
I feel like I'm home

The Day You Came Along 
Composer(s): Sam Coslow - Arthur Johnston
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists



My heart went leaping
The day you came along
Forgot my weeping
The day you came along
Before I knew it I hummed a little song
The day you came along

I only drifted before you came along
The fog was lifted
Because you came along
I sent the blackbirds right back where they belong
The day you came along

Men have conquered nations
Other men have set them free
Pioneers across the sea
You can turn the pages through the ages but for me
Twas the most eventful day in history

Two souls were mated
The day you came along
A world created
The day you came along
One glance convinced me
I knew I wasn’t wrong
The day you came along

Two souls were mated
The day you came along
A world created
The day you came along
One glance convinced me
I knew I wasn’t wrong
The day you came along

Love came this day
The day you came along

Five Years
Composer(s): David Bowie
Performer(s): David Bowie;
and various other artists



Pushing thru the market square, so many mothers sighing
News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
I saw boys, toys electric irons and T.V.'s
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people

A girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children
If the black hadn't a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer threw up at the sight of that

I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine, don't think
you knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk

We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
We've got five years, what a surprise
Five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
We've got five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
Five years
Five years
Five years
Five years

[Princess Aurora]
I know you
I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you
The gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
Yet I know its true
That visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you
I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once
The way you did once
Upon a dream

But if I know you
I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once

[Princess Aurora and Prince]
The way you did once

And I know its true
That visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you
I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once
The way I did once
Upon a dream

Carnival In Kenora
Performer(s): Joni Mitchell



Twinkle, twinkle, what a pity
Alone alone on such a pretty night
With enchantment on your side
Popcorn, popcorn, cotton candy
Soft voice whispered, "This all can be right
If you come and share a ride"

Carnival in Kenora
I let him take me for a ride
On a giant Ferris wheel
Up in the neon sky
Or far from the barker's cry
One kiss can sometimes make you feel
Like a spinning Ferris wheel

All the tents are taken down now
All that's left is scuffled ground now
Still the magic echoes in the sand
Popcorn, popcorn, cotton candy
Now a stranger takes my hand; we smile
And the magic understands

Carnival in Kenora
I let him take me for a ride
On a giant Ferris wheel
Up in the neon sky
Or far from the barker's cry
One kiss can sometimes make you feel
Like a spinning Ferris wheel

Take you up in my room and...

She lookin' good, lookin' real good
Love ya, c'mon

The Day That Curly Billy Shot Down Crazy Sam McGee
Composer(s): Allan Clarke
Performer(s): The Hollies



Big tall man standing in the street
Gun hanging by his side
Just one man that he'd like to meet
That's when I began to hide

I recognised him from the face of his son
The hate in his eye didn't lie
Oh what I did can't be undone
Borrowed time there's none to buy

Well I hid round the back of a derelict shack
Ain't looking for a mad showdown
But he was smart, he'd already checked
A week in advance I'd paid down

Well the hotel clerk was a fun-loving man
The job he had it didn't pay
He told all about what happened that night
There he is, that's the one's all he'd say

Well all the people were running, jumping, even thumping
On my bad neighbours doors
Crying curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly
Let me in I gotta hide
Well everybody was crying, sighing sam mcgee's dying
No one to protect our town
Curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly
He's gonna shoot your sherriff down

Big tall man standing in the street
Now a hand hovering waiting to slide
Drew out his gun it wasn't for fun
Let me in there's nowhere to hide

Well I made my play but it wasn't my day
I felt the ripping lead
That's when I knew my time was through
Rest in peace were the last words he said

Well all the people were running, jumping, even thumping
On my bad neighbours doors
Crying curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly
Let me in I gotta hide
Well everybody was crying, sighing sam mcgee's dying
No one to protect our town
Curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly
He's gonna shoot your sherriff down

Well all the people were running, jumping, even thumping
On my bad neighbours doors
Crying curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly
Let me in I gotta hide
Well everybody was crying, sighing sam mcgee's dying
No one to protect our town
Curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly
He's gonna shoot your sherriff down

Five Short Minutes
Composer(s): Jim Croce
Performer(s): Jim Croce; The Ventures



Well, she was standing by my dressing room
after the show
Asking for my autograph and asked if she could go
Back to my motel room. But the rest is just a tragic tale
Because five short minutes of lovin'
Done brought me twenty long years in jail

Well, like a fool in a hurry I took her to my room
She casted me in plaster while I sang her a tune
Then I said, "Ooh, ooee!" Sure was a tragic tale
Because five short minutes of lovin'
Done brought me twenty long years in jail

Well, then a judge and a jury sat me in a room
They say that robbin' the cradle is worse than robbin' the tomb
Then I said "Ooh, ooee!" Sure was a tragic tale
(Wasn't worth it, wasn't worth it!)
Because five short minutes of lovin'
Done brought me twenty long years in jail

And when I get out of this prison gonna be forty-five
I'll know I used to like to do it but I won't remember why
(Wasn't worth it, wasn't worth it!)
I'll say "Ooh, ooee! Sure was a tragic tale
Because five short minutes of lovin'
Done brought me twenty long years in jail

Because five short minutes of lovin'
Done brought me twenty long years in jail

Day Of Jubilo
Composer(s): Terry Gilkyson
Performer(s): Guy Mitchell



(Tell it to the preacher and the blessings flow
Tell it to the teacher, but he don’t know)
Tell it to the poor man under the hill
Tell it to the rich man makin’ his will
Tell it but you won’t know
Till the day of Jubilo

Oh the Devil, he makes it thunder
Every time he hollers loud
The sun draws up the water
And it rains right through the clouds
The eagle’s wings, they fly so high
They cause the wind to blow
Now the only thing that bogs my mind
I wonder what makes it snow

(Tell it to the preacher and the blessings flow
Tell it to the teacher, but he don’t know)
Tell it to the poor man under the hill
Tell it to the rich man makin’ his will
Tell it but you won’t know
Till the day of Jubilo

Oh, the sun sits up above me
The Heavens are all aglow
The Devil, he don’t love me
Got a place that we all know
The closer to the sun you climb
The hotter it’s gonna grow
Now the only thing that bogs my mind
How did it get hot below

(Tell it to the preacher and the blessings flow
Tell it to the teacher, but he don’t know)
Tell it to the poor man under the hill
Tell it to the rich man makin’ his will
Tell it but you won’t know
Till the day of Jubilo

I got my share of troubles
Trouble runnin’ everywhere
Blowin’ up like a bubble
Gonna bust itself a fare
Now I’ve got troubles of every kind
Brother that ain’t the half
The only thing that bogs my mind
I wonder what makes me laugh

(Tell it to the preacher, and the blessings flow
Tell it to the teacher, but he don’t know)
Tell it to the poor man under the hill
Tell it to the rich man makin’ his will
Tell it but you won’t know
Till the day of Jubilo
Till the day... of... Ju...bi...lo

I'll sing to the sun in the sky
I'll sing `til the sun rises high
Carnival time is here
Magical time of year
And as the time draws near
Dreams lift my heart
I'll sing as I play my guitar
I'll cling to a dream from afar
Will love come my way
This Carnival day
And stay here in my heart
Will true love come my way
On this Carnival day
Or will I be alone with my dream
