The Midas Touch
Composer(s): Jule Styne - Betty Comden - Adolph Green
Performer(s): Bernie West
and multiple other artists



Aaaahhhhhhh!
First you're hot and then you're cold
Then you're shy and then you're bold
But I'm always sensitive to you

First you fill my heart with pain
Then your kiss is novocaine
That's no way sensitive to you

You don't see anything, but it hurts
Though you can't see the pain
Ooh-oh, how it hurts

Midas touch
The mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty Midas Touch
The Midas touch
The mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty Midas Touch
Midas touch
The mighty, mighty Midas Touch

Gold in the mornin'
Gold in the evenin
Gold in the Summer
Gold in the Winter
Doctor Midas said to me
"Be sure you take your vitamin G...o...l...d"
And that's what he said to me
Yeah!

Gold in all its glory
And that's the story of the Midas Touch

Chilling Of The Evening
Composer(s): Arlo Guthrie
Performer(s): Arlo Guthrie



Warm me from the wind and take my hand
A song is sounding, softly singing
My song is cast upon the rainbow waves
Forever splashing in the sunlight
Prove to me there's a love still left
In all of this emptiness around me
Take me from the chilling of the evening

Though you know my love that I must go
A-following the winds that blow inside me
I've nowhere left to run or hide
Except if you will come and run beside me
And even if you do there'll be a lot for us to do
To keep believing
Take me from the chilling of the evening

And now my time has come down many streets
I'm coming from a night decaying
The song that itself sings is all alone
I cannot even hear it playing
Now to leave before I understand
Just what it is I'm leaving
Take me from the chilling of the evening

Recognition
Performer(s): Earth & Fire



Nobody knows
this place of mine
the nights sad and long
after that time
I remember forever
from that very first time
what keeps us together
what’s bringing us here
I believe in you
Ooh I just wanted you
the sound of your voice
sad searching young man
made me sure of my choice
every time I hear it again
while Pharaoh is watching
I’m following my guide
swallowed by the crowd
I try to keep you in sight

The Merry-Go-Run-Around
Composer(s): Johnny Burke - James Van Heusen
Performer(s): Bob Hope, Bing Cosby, Peggy Lee



You won't say yes
And you won't say no
You let my poor heart pound
But you smile at me
And around I go
On the merry-go-run-around 

You build me up
'Til the sky seems low
Then flop
I hit the ground
But you hold my hand
And around I go
On the merry-go-run-around 

When a friend says to me
Where the heck are you bound
What the duce can I say
Just around and around and around 

You won't say leave
And you won't say whoa
I've tried to get unwound
But you kiss me once
And around I go
On the merry-go-run-around 

Oh you won't say yes
And you won't say no
You let my poor heart pound
But you smile at me
And around I go
On the merry-go-run-around 

You build me up
'Til the sky seems low
Then flop
I hit the ground
But you hold my hand
And around I go
On the merry-go-run-around 

You won't say leave
And you won't say whoa
I've tried to get unwound
But you kiss me once
And around I go
On the merry-go-run-around 

I won't say yes
and I won't say no
I let your poor hearts pound
But you smile at me
And around I go
On the merry-go-run-around 

You build us up
'Til the sky seems low
Then flop
We hit the ground
But you hold our hand
And around we go
On the merry-go-run-around 

When a friend says to me
Where the heck are you bound
What the duce can I say
Just around and around and around 

You won't say leave
And you won't say whoa
So I've tried to get unwound
But you kiss me once
And around I go
On the merry-go-run-around 

Chill Factor
Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde
Performer(s): The Pretenders



She’s getting older
Yeah, she’s getting wise
But a change has changed the girl
Gone’s the sparkle from her eyes

She wants to be a good mother
So she’ll do the best she can
But what about the other
What about the man

Well it’s cold to leave a woman
With family on her own
It’s chill factor
To the bone

Resignation
In her sighs
Is a sorry indication
Of how time
Can brutalise

Take away the hope
And the will will follow
Take away the faith
And goodbye tomorrow

Well it’s cold to leave a woman
With family on her own
It’s chill factor
To the bone

She had her dreams too
But how can she pursue
Her ambitions, be they great or small

You took her wings and flew
But remember when you’re through
Your rise was due
To somebody else’s fall

When the hard part’s over
And the kids are almost grown
You’ll be their big hero
Whenever you make it home
Shower them with presents
Things she could never buy
Delight them with your stories
About the great big, great big world outside
But dig

It’s cold to leave a woman
With family on her own
It’s chill factor
Chill factor
To the bone

How will you ever know
if you don't take a chance?

You have got to gamble with fate

I wanna live, love, learn a lot
I'll light my candle
And I'll burn a lot

Chorus:
You'll have some bad shots, hard knocks

Jean:
I'm on my own if I bruise

And there'll be smiles here, shouts here

And I can take it on the chin if I lose
Because I'm reckless

She's simply reckless

Jean:
I'm gonna go places and look life in the face

Jean (Singing):
When I'm in love
I'm reckless
Each time in love
I'm more reckless
I won't go weeping
For lost romances
I pay my losses
And I take new chances

I'm reckless
And I don't want advice
I'll keep on seeking my own paradise
I waste no weeping
I just keep hoping
For one who's hoping for me

-Chorus girl dance sequence-

Jean:
I've made my mind up
That I'll wind up
I'll take what's coming to me

I've been around
It's been, why advertise
I have lived
And I've loved
What is life
Without love?

Keep your feet on the ground
All my friends have advised
If you'll fight, you will fall
So I fight, and I fell
Every time my heart beats calmly

-Dance Routine-

-Gun Fight-

Chorus Girl:
I waste no weeping
I just keep hoping
For one who's hoping for me

Ahh...ahh...ahh...ahh...ahh...ahh!

The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down
Composer(s): Cliff Friend - Dave Franklin
Performer(s): Shep Fields
and multiple other artists



Oh, the merry-go-round broke down
As we went 'round and 'round
Each time 'twould miss we'd steal a kiss
While the merry-go-round went

Um-pah-pah, um-pah-pah
Um-pah, um-pah, um-pah-pah

Oh, the merry-go-round broke down
It made the darndest sound
The lights went low, we both said "Oh"
And the merry-go-round went

Um-pah-pah, um-pah-pah
Um-pah, um-pah, um-pah-pah

Oh, what fun, a wonderful time
Finding love for only a dime

Oh, the merry-go-round broke down
But you don't see me frown
Ev'rything is fine and now she's mine
'Cause the merry-go-round went

Um-pah-pah, um-pah-pah
Um-pah, um-pah, um-pah-pah
Oh, the merry-go-round broke down

Childsong
Composer(s): Pete Brown - Jack Bruce - Tony Hymas
Performer(s): Jack Bruce



She shakes her head and says
That her last word is spoken
Tumbling down
Something she found
Where happiness lay
Not far away
Hear it now

You got so many ways
When the last chains are broken
Tumbling down
You hear a new sound
It's dark into day
Not far away
Hear it now

When summer leaves
The tangles that it weaves
are floating in the wind
Hard to begin
To get back in
You stay but it's never in only one piece
You got to find release

He runs away and plays
his laughter is just awoken
Tumbling down
The eyes of a clown
And truth sings today
Not far away
Hear it now

Récit De Cassard
English Title: Watch What Happens
Composer(s): Jean Demy; Michel Legrand
Performer(s): Elis Regina; Georges Blanès



Autrefois, j'ai aimé une femme
Elle ne m'aimait pas
On l'appelait longtemps ... autrefois
Ensuite, j'ai voulu oublier
Alors, j'ai quitté la France
Je suis allé au bout du monde

Je ne pense plus qu'à elle
J'ai voulu vous parler franchement

Vous ne m'en voudrez pas
Il n'en reste bien sur pas question
D'en ... Geneviève
Geneviève est libre
Geneviève est libre
Une fois ...

The Merry-Go-Round
Performer(s): Harry Hemsley



Sometimes when I'm very good, Dad takes me to the fair
I love to see the sideshows, and the crowds of people there
"What do you want," my Daddy says, "where would you like to go?
How about the monkey house, speak up," but I say No

I want to go on the merry-go-round, merry-go-round, merry-go-round
And ride upon horses that don't touch the ground
On the merry-go-merry-go-round
The horses with legs that are perfectly still
Yet run just as fast, be it up, or down hill
Where there's never a stumble and never a spill
On the merry-go-merry-go-round

I have to go to Sunday School, most every other week
And sit as quiet as a mouse, and never never speak
Who wants to go to heaven, said my teacher one fine day
"We do," said the other kids, so I said that's O.K. 

I want to go on the merry-go-round, merry-go-round, merry-go-round
And ride on a horse with his feet off the ground
On the merry-go-merry-go-round
The horse has a post running right through its back
Which I hold with both hands as it runs round the track
And I only let go, just to give it a smack
On the merry-go-merry-go-round

Mother said to me one day, it seems a trifle sad
To think that you're an only child, so I've consulted Dad
And he suggests a sister dear, with eyes of deepest blue
Thank you Mother dear, I said, if it's all the same to you 

I want to go on the merry-go-round, merry-go-round, merry-go-round
'Cos I know the best horse that's ever been found
On the merry-go-merry-go-round
My horse is a racer, and runs very fast
No horse overtakes it, they never get past
My horse comes in first, and the others all last
On the merry-go-merry-go-round

Children Of The World
Composer(s): Robin Gibb - Barry Gibb - Maurice Gibb
Performer(s): Bee Gees



Changes my life, changes your life - keeps us all anticipating
We are searchers of the truth, every man's a boy deep down
Gotta say it how you mean it - there ain't no easy way

Like a bird in the wind, like a tree in the storm
Like the breath of a child from the moment he's born
To the very last day when the curtains are drawn
We are children of the world - asking every question why
From arrival to survival - just to make it worth the waiting
We are faces in the night - watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life - there aint no easy way

In the back of your mind there is always a mark
There's a wandering solo alone in the dark
You can keep it forever or tear it apart

We are children of the world - watching every day go by
Changing my life, changing your life - keeps us all anticipating

We are children of the world - watching every day go by
Like a bird in the wind, like a tree in the storm
Like the breath of a child from the moment he's born
Till the very last day when the curtains are drawn
We are children of the world - watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life - keeps us all anticipating

We are children of the world - watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life - keeps us all anticipating

Oh the Merry-go-round
We'll go merrily round and around
Round and around up to heaven and down
Round and around up to heaven and sound
Magical sound of the merry-go-round

Children Of The Sun
Composer(s): Sally Oldfield
Performer(s): The Sallyangie



Sunrise shimmers the city walls with yellow light
Sunrise feeling with golden fingers, the edges of the night
There's a hush in the air, in his silver hair
King Solomon is my father

Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah's sending children of the sun
I watch the boats go by as evening colours the sand
The rain is bringing tears from my lovers land
I watch the silver stars melt in love with the sea
I cry to the wind bring back my lover to me
Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah's sending children of the sun

My lover's hands are whiter than the wings of a dove
His hair is softest fire that fall in heavenly love
His smile is a blue birds cry on a midsummer's morn
His kiss is the touch of the sun before the earth's new dawn.
Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah's sending children of the sun

My lover used to bring me stars he found in the sand
I would lay the singing skies inside his tiny hand
Tonight the moon is dripping on the coloured river we knew
O take me where he lies cryin' in the mornin' dew

Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah's sending children of the sun
I watch the boats go by as evening colours the sand
The rain is bringing tears from my lovers land
I watch the silver stars melt in love with the sea
I cry to the wind bring back my lover to me
Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah's sending children of the sun

Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Não me importa trabalhar pra cachorro
O jumento é meu igual
Morro muito mais que gato no morro
Quando chega o carnaval
Sou eu quem cutuca o galo, viu
Pro galo cocorocar
Mas se pisam no meu calo
Não me calo
Eu tenho que calar
Como falo

Au, au, au, hi-ho, hi-ho
Miau, miau, miau, cocorocó
Essa história é mais velha que a história
Dos tempos de glória do velho barão
Quem não sabe de cor essa história
Refresque a memória e preste atenção
Não sou eu quem repete essa história
É a história que adora uma repetição
Uma repetição

Sou eu que distraio o galo, de fato
Quando a outra vai chocar
Sou eu quem arruma cama de gato
Ponho o gato pra mijar
Beijo a mão de vira-lata, sim
Chamo burro de doutor
Mas se alguém me desacata
Maltrata o meu brio
E meu valor
Largo a pata

Au, au, au, hi-ho, hi-ho
Miau, miau, miau, cocorocó
Essa fábula vem de outro século
Pelo fascículo de um alemão
O irmão do alemão deu prum nego
Que vendeu prum grego
Por meio milhão
Esse grego morreu de embolia
E deixou para a tia 
O que tinha na mão
Essa tia casou com um pirata
E afundou com com a fragata
Lá no Maranhão
Essa lenda rolou na fazenda
Moeu na moenda
E espalhou no sertão
E eu não nego que roubei dum cego
E inda ponho no prego
Pra comprar meu pão
Não sou eu quem repete essa história
É a história que adora
Uma repetição
Uma repetição

Children Of The Sun

Performer(s): Hawkwind



The golden age of the future comes
That was dreamed of in the past
Where freedom will reign over minds of peace
Minds rich in wisdom to the last
We are children of the sun and this is our
inheritance
No longer chaos and confusion
But love and laughter
Song and dance

Rebel's Last Request
Composer(s): Carl Jackson
Performer(s): The Bluegrass Cardinals



Eighteen sixty-three was an awful place to be
I never thought I'd make it out alive
But a dying man's request
Helped me pass the rugged test
And see the end to eighteen sixty-five

He called me to his side and just before he died
This Rebel soldier made it clear to me
That his one last desire
Before his soul it did retire
Was to return home and there forever be

Chorus
Take me back to the southland
Mississippi is my home
Let me rest with those green fields above me
Never more shal I roam

So I dug a shallow grave marked the spot where he was layed
By a nearby lonesome weeping willow tree
And in case I lost my knife
Or another took my life
I carved those final words he said to me

Chorus

Eighteen Sixty-Five and I made it out alive
So I returned to fill his final plea
But I found no body there
Just a feeling in the air
And a change of words upon the willow tree

(Final Chorus)

He's gone back to the Southland
Mississippi is his home
He now rests with those green fields above him
Never more shall he roam

The Merry Minuet
Composer(s): Sheldon Harnick
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio; Sheldon Harnick



They're rioting in Africa
They're starving in Spain
There's hurricanes in Florida and Texas needs rain
The whole world is festering with unhappy souls
The French hate the Germans
The Germans hate the Poles
Italians hate Yugoslavs
South Africans hate the Dutch and I don't like anybody very much!

But we can be tranquil and thankful and proud 
for man's been endowed with a mushroom shaped cloud
And we know for certain that some lovely day someone will set the spark off and we will all be blown away
They're rioting in Africa
There's strife in Iran
What nature doesn't do to us will be done by our fellow man

Children Of The Sun
Composer(s): Spencer Proffer - Billy Thorpe
Performer(s): Billy Thorpe



People of the Earth can you hear me?
Came a voice from the sky on that magical night
And in the colors of a thousand sunsets
They traveled through the world on a silvery light

The people of the Earth stood waiting
Watching as the ships came one by one
Setting fire to the sky as they landed
Carrying to the world Children Of The Sun
 
All at once came a sound from the inside
Then a beam made of light hit the ground
Everyone felt the sound of their heartbeat
Every Man - Every Woman - Every Child
 
They passed the limits of imagination
Through the doors - to a world - of another time
On the journey of a million lifetimes
With the Children Of The Sun - They started their climb
 
No more gravity, nothing holding them down
Floating endlessly, as their ship leaves the ground
Thru the walls of time - at the speed of light
Fly the crystal ships on their celestial flight
On their celestial flight
