Comin' In On A Wing And A Prayer Composer(s): Jimmy McHugh; Harold Adamson Performer(s): The Song Spinners and various other artists
Comin' in on a wing and a prayer Comin' in on a wing and a prayer Though there's one motor gone We can still carry on Comin' in on a wing and a prayer
What a show, what a fight Yes we really hit our target for tonight
How we sing as we limp through the air Oh. Look below, there's our field over there With our full crew aboard And our trust in the Lord We're comin' in on a wing and a prayer
One of our planes was missing Two hours overdue One of our planes was missing With all it's gallant crew The radio sets were humming They waited for a word Then a voice broke through the humming And this is what they heard:
Comin' in on a wing and a prayer Comin' in on a wing and a prayer Thought there's one motor gone We can still carry on Comin' in on a wing and a prayer.
What a show, what a fight Yes we really hit our target for tonight
Now we sing as we limp through the air Oh. Look below, there's our field over there With our full crew aboard And our trust in the Lord We're comin' in on a wing and a prayer
Though there's one motor gone We can still carry on Comin' in on a wing and a prayer

The Vagabond King Waltz (aka Huguette Waltz) Composer(s): Rudolf Friml - Brian Hooker Performer(s): Jane Carroll and multiple other artists
Hearts may flower for an hour Tho' they die in a day Lips may kiss Blind with bliss Ere they learn to betray Light Love, smiling, untrue Bright Love, what would you do If I give my Love to you before I wander away?
Never try to bind me Never hope to know Take me as you find me Love and let me go Tho' the loves we leave behind us Change and fade away Never mind, you may be mine to day
Never try to bind me Never hope to know Take me as you find me Love and let me go Tho' the loves we leave behind us Change and fade away Never mind, you may be mine to day

The Unknown Stuntman Composer(s): Glen Larson - David Somerville Performer(s): Lee Majors
Well I'm not the kind to kiss and tell but I've been seen with Farah I've never been with anything less than a nine so fine
I've been on fire with Sally Fields gone fast with a girl named Bo but somehow they just don't end up as mine
It's a death-defying life I lead I take my chances I die for a livin' in the movies and T.V. but the hardest thing I ever do is watch my leadin' ladies kiss some other guy while I'm bandagin' my knees
I might fall from a tall building I might roll a brand-new car 'cause I'm the unknown stuntman that made Redford such a star
I've never spent much time in school but I taught ladies plenty. It's true I hire my body out for pay (hey, hey)
I've gotten burned over Cheryl Tiegs blown up for Raquel Welch but when I end up in the hay it's only hay (hey, hey)
I might jump an open drawbridge or Tarzan from a vine 'cause I'm the unknown stuntman that makes Eastwood lookes so fine
They'll never make me president but I've got the best first ladies Some days I've got'em as far as the eye can see
A morning dive with Jackie Smith I crash in the night with Cheryl but in the end they never stay with me
I might fall from a tall building so Burt Reynolds don't get hurt I might leap a mighty canyon so he can kiss and flirt While that smooth talker's kissin' my girl I'm just kissin' dirt
Yes I'm the lonely stuntman that made a lover out of Burt
Comin' Home Composer(s): Delaney Bramlett; Eric Clapton Performer(s): Eric Clapton
Been out on the road 'bout six months too long I want you so bad, I can hardly stand it I'm so tired and I'm all alone We'll soon be together and that's it I'm comin' home to your love
Hitchhiking on the turnpike all day long Nobody seemed to notice, they just pass me over To keep from going crazy, I got to sing my song Got a whole lot of loving and baby, that's why I'm comin' home to your love
Rock 'N' Attitude Composer(s): Michel Berger Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Tout me fait craquer C'est encore d'la dernière pluie Que je veux être né La mort je lui fais des pieds de nez L'amour, je suis pas décidé J'veux encore essayer Mais toi Lutte pour écrire ton histoire Lutte pour garder ta mémoire Et pour garder en toi Une rock 'n' roll attitude Ne reste pas chez toi avec tes certitudes Rock 'n' roll attitude Si l'été est trop lourd, si l'hiver est trop rude Lutte contre la vie que tu mènes Lutte pour la musique que tu aimes Et que tu gardes en toi Rire Rire de toutes ces nuits qui passent Qui nous déchirent et qui prennent la place Encore toute chaude de nos désirs Vivre Tous les moments qu'on a rêvés de vivre Que ça aime, que ça tienne, que ça casse Respirer chaque minute qu'on respire Rock 'n' roll attitude Le risque de l'amour Passe par l'amour du risque Rock 'n' roll attitude Seules les passions de cire Sont gravés dans les disques Lutte contre les mots faciles Lutte contre la haine des imbéciles Garde toujours en toi Une rock 'n' roll attitude

Rock And Roll Composer(s): John Bonham; John Paul Jones; Jimmy Page; Robert Plant Performer(s): Led Zeppelin
It's been a long time since I rock and rolled It's been a long time since I did the Stroll Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back Let me get it back, baby, where I come from It's been a long time, been a long time Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely lonely, lonely time Yes it has

Seems so long since we walked in the moonlight Making vows that just can't work right Open your arms, opens your arms Open your arms, baby, let my love come running in It's been a long time, been a long time Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
The Unicorn Composer(s): Shel Silverstein Performer(s): The Irish Rovers and multiple other artists
A long time ago when the earth was green There were more kinds of animals than you've ever seen They'd run around free while the earth was being born But the loveliest of all was the Unicorn
There were green alligators, and long necked geese Some humpty-back camels and some chimpanzees Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as your born The loveliest of all was the Unicorn
Now God seen some sinning and it gave him pain And he said stand back I'm going to make it rain He said hey brother Noah I'll tell you what to do Build me a floating zoo...
And take some of them green alligators, and long necked geese Some humpty-back camels and some chimpanzees Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as your born But don't you forget my Unicorn
Well Noah was there to answer the call And he finished making the ark just as the rain started to fall He marched in the animals two by two And he called out as they went through... Hey Lord
I got your green alligators, and long necked geese Some humpty-back camels and some chimpanzees Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as your born I just can't find no Unicorn
Well Noah looked out through the driving rain The Unicorns were hiding and playing silly games They were kicking and a-splashing while the rain was pouring Oh them silly Unicorns
Noah cried close the door, because the rain is pouring And we just can't wait for no Unicorn
Well the ark started moving and it drifted with the tide The Unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried And the waters came down and sort of floated them away And that's why you've never seen a Unicorn - to this very day
There were green alligators, and long necked geese Some humpty-back camels and some chimpanzees Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as your born The loveliest of all was the Unicorn

Comfortably Numb Composer(s): David Gilmour; Roger Waters First release by: Pink Floyd Covered by various other artists
Hello Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me Is there anyone home?
Come on, now I hear you're feeling down Well I can ease your pain Get you on your feet again
Relax I need some information first Just the basic facts Can you show me where it hurts? There is no pain, you are receding A distant ship's smoke on the horizon You are only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin' When I was a child I had a fever My hands felt just like two balloons Now I got that feeling once again. I can't explain, you would not understand This is not how I am I have become comfortably numb Ok Just a little pinprick [ping] There'll be no more -- Aaaaaahhhhh! But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up? I do believe it's working Good That'll keep you going for the show Come on it's time to go There is no pain, you are receding A distant ship's smoke on the horizon You are only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin' When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye I turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown, the dream is gone I have become comfortably numb

Dale que sopla torcido No se te vaya a caer Que cose y que pinta y qué linda que está Que tira y que tira y qué lindo que va Polleras de trapo marcando el compás Cañas ligeras que saben volar Dale más piola que llega hasta el sol
Cometa de la Farola Niña del Parque Rodó Que cose y que pinta y qué linda que está Que tira y que tira y qué lindo que va Creció retobada en el viento del sur Violeta pintada en algún cielo azul Dale más piola que llega hasta el sol
Tira y que tira y trepa y con la cometa Se fue mi amor Ay que tira y que tira y sube Y hacia las nubes me voy Ay que tira y que tira y trepa y con la violeta Se fue mi amor Ay que tira y que tira y sube Y hacia las nubes me voy
La murga del Tren Fantasma Bombo y platillo campeón Que cose y que pinta y qué linda que está Que tira y que tira y qué lindo que va Polleras de trapo marcando el compás Cañas ligeras que saben volar Dale más piola que llega hasta el sol
