The Pleasure Of Your Company Composer(s): Johnny Mercer - André Previn Performer(s): Bing Crosby; Johnny Mercer
May I have the pleasure of your company? On this crazy quilt adventure we call life? If I can have the pleasure of your company
I'll guide you through the pitfalls like a wife Old boy, old bean, by that I mean, you have a pal on whom to lean A buddy in your hour of need, a friend in deed!
So may I have the pleasure of your company? To tag a long wherever fate may lead! May I lead!
May I have the pleasure of your company? As we trip the light fantastic we call life? If I can have the pleasure of your company I'll be a Robbie Burns to your Will Fyfee Old chap, old bean, by that I mean, we'll find a bar which to lean Becoming at increasing speed, fast friends in deed
So may I have the pleasure of your company? To tag along wherever fate may lead! May I lead!
Recuerdo bien aquellos «cuatrocientos golpes» de Truffaut y el travelling con el pequeño desertor Antoine Doinel playa a través buscando un mar que parecía más un paredón Y el happy-end que la censura travestida en voz en off sobrepusiera al pesimismo del autor nos hizo ver que un mundo cruel se salva con una homilía fuera del guión Cine, cine, cine más cine por favor que todo en la vida es cine y los sueños cine son Al fin llegó el día tan temido más allá del mar previsto por los grises de Henri Decae cuánta razón tuvo el censor Antoine Doinel murió en su «domicilio conyugal» Pido perdón por confundir el cine con la realidad no es fácil olvidar Cahiers du cinéma le Mac Mahon eso pasó son olas viejas con resacas de la nouvelle vague Cine, cine, cine...
Remember Tomorrow Composer(s): Steve Harris; Paul Di'Anno Performer(s): Iron Maiden; and various other artists
Unchain the colours before my eyes Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher I shall return from out of fire
Tears for rememberance, and tears for joy Tears for somebody and this lonely boy Out in the madness, the all seeing eye Flickers above us, to light up the sky
Unchain the colours before my eyes Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher I shall return from out of fire
The Pleasure Of Her Company Composer(s): Harry Warren - Mack Gordon Performer(s): Vic Damone
The Golden Gate from the top of the mark The lights below, like jewels in the dark I'd trade you every memory For the pleasure of her company
The fun of taking a cable car ride The lonely steamer that waits for the tide I'd give you all these, cheerfully For the pleasure of her company
Sometimes when we're just dining A sandwich seems like such a treat There are no candles, but still they're shining They start to gleam when our eyes meet
There are some pleasures we mortals can't know They're known to angels alone, even so I'm sure the angels envy me The pleasure of her company
I'm sure the angels envy me The pleasure of her company
Cindy's Birthday
Composer(s): Joe Hooven - Hal Winn
Performer(s): Johnny Crawford; Shane Fenton & the Fentones
No time for the movie show, TV, or the radio Gotta write a symphony, end it with some poetry Tie them with a ribbon made of gold and give them to Cindy Today is Cindy's birthday
No time for geometry, 'rithmetic, or history Gotta write a song from my heart, then pick the greatest work of art Tie them with a ribbon made of gold and give them to Cindy Today is Cindy's birthday
No time to do the Twist, don't mind all the things I miss Gotta write a melody, write it from the heart of me Tie it with a ribbon made of gold and give it to Cindy Today is Cindy's birthday
Remember Then Composer(s): Beverly Ross / Tony Powers / Stan Vincent Performer(s): The Earls; and various other artists
Re-mem-mem, re-mem-mem-mem-ber oop-shoop Re-mem-mem, re-mem-mem-mem-ber oop-shoop Re-mem-mem, re-mem-mem-mem-ber oop-shoop then Then, remember then
That night we fell in love Beneath the stars above That was a lovely summer night Remember then, then, then, then, then
Summer's over Our love is over To lose that love was such a sin Remember then, then, then, then, then
Remember, re-mem-mem, mem-mem-mem-mem-ber (lead) Our love is in the past (backups) patta-past (lead) Oh, has it gone so fast (backups) patta-past (lead) Why couldn't our love last? (backups) Can't last (backups) Wop, wop, patta patta pop-pop, shoo-wop-dah bop bop, ooh
I'm broken-hearted now Since we have parted now My mind wanders now and then Remember then, then, then, then, then
Holiday time, some sunny clime, calling to you and me You quickly choose a wonderful cruise, out on the open sea The first day you're content, you're awfully glad you went On a pleasure cruise to drive away your blues The pleasures of a pleasure cruise
Down the companion way you fall ten times a day Someone finds you sitting on the point of the Captain's compass On the deck you nearly break your neck, your sea legs you can't use You dive into the ocean for a swim, it's such a lark Till you find you've been bitten in the bulwarks by a shark Oh, what a pleasure cruise to drive away your blues The pleasures of a pleasure cruise
Steamers and tramps show coloured lamps Amber and green and red Your ship runs aground, but somehow you've found The street traffic lights instead You sail once more then find, you've left half the ship behind On a pleasure cruise to drive away your blues The pleasures of a pleasure cruise
Your cabin's far too small, you've got no room at all Someone finds you sitting in your bunk with your feet through the porthole One dark night I turn first left, then right, my way I seemed to lose A honeymooning couple, they created such a scene Because I was discovered where the bridegroom should have been Oh, what a pleasure cruise to drive away your blues The pleasures of a pleasure cruise
(Oh, what a pleasure cruise to drive away your blues) (The pleasures of a pleasure cruise)
Don't know what's the matter with me I ain't feelin' the same Since I met Miss Cindy Lee, folks say I'm insane Thinkin' 'bout her all the time
Guess this darkey's in love Night and day, when at work or play I'm a-thinkin' of this turtle dove Oh!
Cindy, you're my dream For, ever since I met you, honey gal I seem to have a funny feelin' here within the region of my heart
Got it good and smart From the very start Cindy, you're the cream Of all the yaller gals that I have ever seen
In the night or in the mornin' When it's fine or when it's stormin' Cindy, you're my dream
Birds sing sweeter than before I met Cindy Lee Loafin' 'round ain't got no more Fascination for me Goin' to buy some bran new clothes Dress up mighty gay Like a dove, on the wing of love I will coo and this is what I'll say Oh!
Cindy, you're my dream For, ever since I met you, honey gal I seem to have a funny feelin' here within the region of my heart
Remember The Rain ((Italian Version: È La Pioggia Che Va (The Rokes) - 1966)) Composer(s): Bob Lind First release by: Bob Lind - 1966
Angel that you are You still remember summer walks And quiet talks we had before our clouds were broken In the heaven of your mind Your hopeful heart has put behind All the ugly jealous times our hearts were aching Now that your pain has been mended You're only seeing one side Behind the bright easy laughter Rivers of tears have been cried So remember the rain When you think of the sunshine You've got to try and see That's it's gone for you and me And there is no way to bring it back again In a sad unstable way I love you more than I can say But it's locked in yesterday and must remain there The gentle prisoner in the stall Sometimes forgets the very walls That gave her shelter in the fall have also chained her Drink from the spring of tomorrow Yesterday's well has gone dry All the good times are behind us Whenever you ask yourself why Just remember the rain when you think of the sunshine On the ocean of a smile we floated easy for awhile But now we're drifted to the shore where beauty dies It isn't easy to explain I never dreamed you felt the same And even though you're not to blame we can't continue Don't let yourself pretend that we've got something to defend You've got to try to face the end with all that's in you I can't deny that I love you But my soul can no longer be bound Fly on the wings of your freedom But whenever you look to the ground Just remember the rain when you think of the sunshine Try to understand that it's fallen from our hands And just be thankful that your soul is still your own
Planet Of New Orleans Composer(s): Mark Knopfler Performer(s): Dire Straits
Standin' on the corner Of Toulouse and Dauphine Waitin' on Marie-Ondine I'm tryin' to place a tune Under a Louisiana moonbeam On the planet of New Orleans
In a bar they call The Saturn And in her eyes of green And somethin' that she said in a dream Inside of my suit I got my mojo root And a true love figurine For the planet of New Orleans
New Orleans - the other planet With other life upon it And everythin' that's shakin' in between If you should ever land upon it You better know what's on it The planet of New Orleans
Now I'm tryin' to find my way Through the rain and the steam I'm lookin' straight ahead through the screen And then I heard her say Somethin' in the Limousine 'Bout takin' a ride across the planet of New Orleans
If she was an ace And I was just a jack And the cards were never seen We could have been the king and queen But she took me back to her courtyard Where magnolia perfume screams Behind the gates and the granite Of the planet of New Orleans

Go like this... All right, knock it off Cindy, Oh Cindy Bye Mom
One-two, a one-two-three
I joined the Navy to see the world But nowhere could I find A girl as sweet as Cindy The girl I left behind I've searched the wide world over Can't get her out of my mind
Cindy, oh Cindy (C-Cindy, C-Cindy) Cindy don't let me down (C-Cindy, C-Cindy) Write me a letter, dear (C-Cindy, C-Cindy) And I'll be homeward bound (C-Cindy, C-Cindy)
I see her face in every wave Her lips kiss every breeze Her loving arms reach out to me Through calm and stormy sea At night I face the lonely day Caressed by memories
Cindy, oh Cindy (C-Cindy, C-Cindy) Cindy don't let me down (C-Cindy, C-Cindy) Write me a letter, dear (C-Cindy, C-Cindy) And I'll be homeward bound (C-Cindy, C-Cindy)
I know my Cindy's waiting for me As I walk the decks alone Her loving arms reach out to me Soon I'll be heading home Then my sailing days will be over No more will I roam
Cindy, oh Cindy (C-Cindy, C-Cindy) Cindy don't let me down (C-Cindy, C-Cindy) Write me a letter, dear (C-Cindy, C-Cindy) And I'll be homeward bound (C-Cindy, C-Cindy)
Remember The Nights Composer(s): Martha Davis; Scott Thurston Performer(s): The Motels
Fragrance of that long lost evening Tender moves that keep repeating Soft night's melody that I can't forget Younger boy and helpless girl Passion of the other world Strange old place from a Nursery rhyme that I can't forget I can't go back,but I can't stay Help me Remember the nights with you
Street corner stands in shade Lanterns swing in the heat of day Old lady sings the song that I can't forget Little girl that asked you who Collects the flowers they give to you Her eyes, her dress, the sky The blue that you can't forget I can't go back, but I can't stay Help me Remember the nights with you (repeat)
Long ago and far away Memory like a dream I stay in the other place The other time that I can't forget I can't go back, but I can't stay Help me Remember the nights Remember the nights Remember the nights with you
Mother and Father, think for yourself This is the place and the time Make the changes, hear the time All those silly words don't seem to rhyme
Now I'm cold and I wonder why My twelfth-floor mansions seem to touch the sky Tomorrow I'll be back to see if you can really be here My, what a strange vision I have seen And what a change
What's that walkin' through my years And breathin' on your mind? When Sunday drivers come and play with theirs We'll be blowin' out your mind
Cindy, Cindy
Composer(s): Dolores Fuller - Buddy Kaye - Scott Weisman
Performer(s): Elvis Presley
Wish I was an apple dangling from a tree Every time you'd pass me by you'd take a bite of me I wish I was a bluebird I'd never fly away I'd sit up on your shoulder baby and sing to you all day
Come on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home Cindy Cindy Come on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home to me
I wrote it in a letter, carved it on a tree Told it to a honeycomb, told it to a bee Told them that I love you, they all know its true Say it till the cows come home until it gets to you
Come on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home Cindy Cindy Come on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home to me
Need you in the morning to start the coffee pot Need you in the afternoon to fan me when I'm hot Need you in the evening when supper time is through What I'm really tryin' to say is I can't get enough of you
Come on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home Cindy Cindy Come on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home to me
If I were a musician I'd harp on just one thing You should never play my harp the way you pluck a string If only you would love me say it and tell me so I need two charms about me baby to have the whole world know
Come on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home Cindy Cindy Come on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home to me
Come on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home Cindy Cindy Come on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home to me
Remember That Boy Composer(s): Phil May Performer(s): The Pretty Things
Like a breathless summer evening When the silence simply roars You're so attached to what you're holding now But can you prove it yours? You're the saviour of the drowning moon The bringer of the luck You're a concrete case for open space Who swears the cities suck You're the keeper of stars Shining their cars Applauding with the one hand you've got free You're amazingly graced Doesn't show on your face You're lysergically removed from what you were Asleep with the past You're engaged to a dream You're a sepia creature On the yesterday screen Like a forest in the winter When all life has gone to ground Holding wordless conversations You're slaughtered by the sound Like a river of forgotten dreams You lie strangled in the reeds Your sack is full of wild oats Why don't you sow some seeds? The seconds drip, minutes click Set the trap, turn the lock Turn your back Moon dissolves, sun explodes In the sky, it's getting dark Very dark, wonder why Knelt before, piece of cheese On your knees, you always were Hard to please, hard to please Hidden in, liquid clear Swims the fear, tomorrow's child Doesn't see, doesn't hear
The Pickup Composer(s): Helen Carter Performer(s): Mark Dinning
I made a date on the dare of a friend
If I'd known how it would end I'd have turned around and ran away right then From the pickup
I was a boy looking for fun She looked so lost and all alone And I didn't know my heart would be won By the pickup
How could know her lips were so warm? Or how big I'd feel with her in my arms? How could I know? How could I see? I'd fall in love with her, and she would love me
I should have told her I loved her right then I couldn't face all of my friends So I told my darling I couldn't see her again I lost the pickup
The morning papers told how she died Jumped from a bridge, suicide And nobody knows that the heart in me cries For the pickup
Cindy Incidentally
Composer(s): Ron Wood - Rod Stewart - Ian McLagan
First release by: Faces - 1973
Oh Cindy ain't you noticed That several of your friends have moved on And the street outside is just a little too quiet And your local papers run out of news I'm not persuading you or disengaging you But Cindy you and me we got to move
Can you refuse, no time to lose We'll hit the high road early this morning So don't be late, don't hesitate This dream can pass just as fast as lighting And oh Cindy incidentally baby I ain't putting you on
Can you refuse, no time to lose We'll hit the high road early this morning So don't be late, don't hesitate This dream can pass just as fast as lighting
Oh Cindy don't you worry 'Cause between us we can make it through There ain't nothing no no nothing In the world I can do without you So Cindy get your coat on Leave the rent with the gent up in the penthouse Turn your music so loud let's attract a big crowd We'll drink a round to this town and bid goodbye
The Piccolino Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Fred Astaire and multiple other artists
By the Adriatic waters Venetian sons and daughters Are strumming a new tune upon their guitars It was written by a Latin, a gondolier who sat in His home out in Brooklyn and gazed at the stars
He sent his melody across the sea to Italy And we know they wrote some words to fit that catchy bit And christened it the Piccolino And we know that it's the reason why Everyone this season is strumming and humming a new melody
Come to the Casino and hear them play the Piccolino Dance with your bambino to the strains of the catchy Piccolino Drink your glass of vino and when you've had your plate of scallopino Make them play the Piccolino, the catchy Piccolino And dance to the strains of that new melody, the Piccolino
