This Is The Army, Mr. Jones Composer(s): Irving Berlin
We all have been selected from city and from farm They asked us lots of questions, they jabbed us in the arm We stood there at attention, our faces turning red The sergeant looked us over and this is what he said
This is the Army, Mister Jones No private rooms or telephones You had your breakfast in bed before But you won't have it there any more
This is the Army, Mister Green We like the barracks nice and clean You had a housemaid to clean your floor But she won't help you out any more
Do what the buglers command They're in the Army and not in a band
This is the Army, Mister Brown You and your baby went to town She had you worried but this is war And she won't worry you anymore
Crazy Captain Gunboat Willie Composer(s): Bill Payne; Lowell George Performer(s): Little Feat
Crazy Captain Gunboat Willie Growled out his commands And all the able seamen Clicked their heels and swore They would protect the noble ship In peace-time and in war
And they danced a jig until the dawn Sang a loyal sailors song Drank a pot of steaming rum Did all the things that loyal sailors do
Captain Bill expressed great glee All the things that he had planned Were made to go his way All the fares he had collected and salted away Made his lips turn in a smile
Just then Luke the rat from down below Called to Gunboat Bill He said Listen to those madmen wail They've been at sea for ninety days Without the sight of land No it doesn't look so good to me No it doesn't look so good at all
The captain pondered what the rat had said Until he could think of nothing more Then he threw his crew into the foaming sea At least a thousand miles from shore
And he danced a jig until the dawn Sang a loyal captain's song Drank a pot of steaming rum Did all the things that loyal captains do
The rat looked hard at Gunboat Bill And he said in a serious style As he leapt into the water Don't believe, no don't believe Don't believe everything that you hear
J'Aime Pas Les Gens Heureux Composer(s): Claude Moine; Pierre Papadaimandis Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
J'aime pas les gens qui sont toujours heureux L'bonheur suprême, ça me parait douteux L' "trop plein" d'amour, ça déborde puis ça lasse Ça s'joue à deux jusqu'à temps que ça s'casse Si pour Karl Marx la religion c'est l'opium Adam et Eve alors c'est quoi? C'est des pommes? Roméo, Juliette, Paul et Virginie Sont aussi tartes que Frankie et Johnnie Moi... J'aime pas les gens heureux Faut toujours qu'ils s'aiment Il n'y en a que pour eux C'est toujours les mêmes Ils sont partout chez eux L'amour ça rend zen J'aime pas les gens heureux J'suis jaloux, y m'gênent Ils sont seuls au monde just' elle et lui Hypnotisés, se déplacent comme des zombies J'suis transparent pour eux, j'suis pas d'ici Si elle partait, elle le ferait pleurer Encore faut-il qu'elle veuill' bien s'en aller Si l'un des deux devait quitter la vie Inconsolable, elle porterait le deuil jour et nuit J'aime pas les gens qu'ont d' l'amour dans les yeux Faut les prév'nir, où on fera des malheureux Ça se soigne pas mais parfois ça guéri Restent les souv'nirs qui vous collent à la vie Moi... J'aime pas les gens heureux Faut toujours qu'ils s'aiment Il n'y en a que pour eux C'est toujours pour les mêmes Ils sont partout chez eux L'amour ça rend zen J'aime pas les gens heureux J'suis jaloux, y m'gênent
This Is Romance Composer(s): Edward Heyman - Vernon Duke Performer(s): Ben Bernie & His Orch. and multiple other artists
High above, a night of love is calling us Countless crowds of silver clouds enthralling us You and I together, lovers of a feather Heaven's near with you my dear with me
This is romance, there's a sky to invite us And a moon to excite us, yet you turn from my kiss This is romance, it's a moment of splendour Oh yet you fail to surrender to a night such as this
What dreamy magic of your eyes Enchanted my heart But will the magic of your love Be granted my heart
I'm in a trance, let me be heaven bound dear This is paradise found dear Sweetheart this is romance. La-da-da-dee,la-da-da-da-da-dee La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dee Yet you turn from my kiss La-da-da-dee,la-da-da-da-da-dee La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dee To a night such as this
What dreamy magic of your eyes Enchanted my heart But will the magic of your love Be granted my heart
I'm in a trance, let me be heaven bound dear This is paradise found dear Sweetheart this is romance
Crazy Blues Composer(s): J.P. Richardson First release by: The Big Bopper - 1957
The door slammed, you walked away His arm around you, I heard you say I never loved him, I love but you Lord, these cra-a-a-zy blues
I'm going down town to buy a gun Gimme that long black shiny one I'm gonna end it, my troubles loose Lord, these cra-a-a-zy blues
I made you my queen, both night and day Snap your little finger and I'd be your slave You didn't wanna wear the crown Didn't wanna be queen You got the kind of lovin' makes me wanna scream
So roll me over, roll me slow The wounds that I made, they hurt me so The wounds that you made, they hurt me too And Lord, these cra-a-a-zy blues
I made you my queen, both night and day Snap your little finger and I'd be your slave You didn't wanna wear the crown Didn't wanna be queen You got the kind of lovin' makes me wanna scream
So roll me over, roll me slow The wounds that I made, they hurt me so The wounds that you made, they hurt me too And Lord, these cra-a-a-zy blues
J'Aime Paris Au Mois De Mai English Title: Paris Is At Her Best In May Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Pierre Roche Performer(s): Charles Aznavour; and various other artists
J'aime Paris au mois de mai Quand les bourgeons renaissent Qu'une nouvelle jeunesse S'empare de la vieille cité Qui se met à rayonner J'aime Paris au mois de mai Quand l'hiver le délaisse Que le soleil caresse Ses vieux toits à peine éveillés
J'aime sentir sur les places Dans les rues où je passe Ce parfum de muguet que chasse Le vent qui passe Il me plaît à me promener Par les rues qui s'faufilent A travers toute la ville J'aime, j'aime Paris au mois de mai
J'aime Paris au mois de mai Lorsque le jour se lève Les rues sortant du rêve Après un sommeil très léger Coquettes se refont une beauté J'aime Paris au mois de mai Quand soudain tout s'anime Par un monde anonyme Heureux de voir le soleil briller
J'aime quand le vent m'apporte Des bruits de toutes sortes Et les potins que l'on colporte De porte en porte Il me plaît à me promener Dans les rues qui fourmillent Tout en draguant les filles J'aime, j'aime Paris au mois de mai
J'aime Paris au mois de mai Avec ses bouquinistes Et ses aquarellistes Que le printemps a ramenés Comme chaque année le long des quais J'aime Paris au mois de mai La Seine qui l'arrose Et mille petites choses Que je ne pourrais expliquer
J'aime quand la nuit sévère Etend la paix sur terre Et que la ville soudain s'éclaire De millions de lumières Il me plaît à me promener Contemplant les vitrines La nuit qui me fascine J'aime, j'aime Paris au mois de mai
This Is Pop? Composer(s): Andy Patridge Performer(s): XTC
In a milk bar and feeling lost Drinking sodas as cold as frost Someone leans in m direction Quizzing on my juke-box selection What do you call that noise That you put on?
This is pop Yeah Yeah
This is!
On a walkway and moving fast All I get is transistor blast Someone leans in my direction Quizzing on my station selection What do you call that noise That you put on?
This is pop Yeah yeah
This is!
We come the wrong way We come the long way We play the songs much too loud
Crazy Arms Composer(s): Ralph Mooney; Charles Seals First release by: Kenny Brown & Marilyn Kaye - 1956 Covered by multiple other artists
Now blue ain't the word for the way that I feel And a storm's brewing in this heart of mine This ain't no crazy dream, I know that it's real You're someone else's love now, you're not mine
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new For my yearning heart keeps sayin' you're not mine My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed And that's why I'm lonely all the time
So please take the treasured dreams I had for you and me And take all the love I thought was mine Someday my crazy arms may hold somebody new But now I'm so lonesome I could cry
Blue's not the word for that way that I feel And the storm brewing in this heart of mine This is no treasured dream, I know that it's real You're someone else's love now, you're not mine
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new But my yearning heart keeps sayin' you're not mine My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed And that's why I'm lonely all the time
Please take the treasured dreams I had for you and me And take all the love I thought was mine Someday my crazy arms will hold somebody new But now I'm so lonely all the time
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new But my yearnin heart keeps sayin you're not mine My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed And that's why I'm lonely all the time

This Is Not America Composer(s): David Bowie - Pat Metheny - Lyle Mays First release by: David Bowie and Pat Metheny Group - 1985 Covered by multiple other artists
This is not America, sha la la la la
A little piece of you The little peace in me Will die [This is not a miracle] For this is not America
Blossom fails to bloom This season Promise not to stare Too long [This is not America] For this is not the miracle
There was a time A storm that blew so pure For this could be the biggest sky And I could have The faintest idea
[For this is not America, sha la la la la, sha la la la la, sha la la la la This is not America, no, this is not, sha la la la la]
Snowman melting From the inside Falcon spirals To the ground [This could be the biggest sky] So bloody red Tomorrow's clouds
A little piece of you The little piece in me Will die [This could be a miracle] For this is not America
There was a time A wind that blew so young For this could be the biggest sky And I could have the faintest idea
[For this is not America, sha la la la la, sha la la la la, sha la la la la This is not America, no, this is not, sha la la la This is not America, no, this is not This is not America, no, this is not, sha la la la]
Crazy Composer(s): Hank Williams Jr. Performer(s): The Manhattans
Ah...
Girl, I can't believe The love you're givin' me Took me by surprise For your love wears no disguise
And ah...you turn my head around You blow my mind with a love That makes me feel so good
My world is upside down And the feeling's strong You really got me going
Crazy About your lovin', girl It's crazy
Please stay my lady Without your love I'll just go crazy
Thinking back in time When loneliness was mine My life was bare Without a love to share
But now you turned my life around You build me up and I know I'm really winning In you, the love I've found (I'm all shook up) My head is spinnin', girl
It's just crazy How much I love you, girl It's crazy
Please stay my lady Without your love I'll just go crazy
So let me hold you in a warm embrace In our love all fears erase Far as the sun shall surely rise Never a tear shall touch your eyes
`Cause I'm crazy About your lovin', girl It's crazy
Please stay my lady Without your love I'll just go crazy
Whoa, whoa, it's crazy How much I love you, girl It's crazy
Please stay my lady Without your love I'll just go crazy

J'aime, j'aime, j'aime la chanson
que tu me chantais souvent J'aime, j'aime, j'aime la chanson qui rappelle nos quinze ans (A quinze ans on rêvait de partir, à Venise où ailleurs souviens-toi) Souviens-toi, comme nous étions heureux quand on dansait tous les deux (C'est vrai, je n'osais pas t'embrasser, et tu sais, je n'ai rien oublié)
Et dis-moi, dis, qu'est-ce que tu deviens, je suis mariée tu sais bien J'aime, j'aime, j'aime la photo où tu me prends dans tes bras J'aime, j'aime, j'aime les mots d'amour que tu me disais tout bas (Je t'aime comme la première fois, mais tu vois, rien n'est plus comme avant) Aujourd'hui toi, tu vis loin de moi et le monde est différent (Je sais bien, c'est chacun pour soi, et nous n'aurons plus jamais quinze ans)
N'oublie pas que l'on s'était promis de s'aimer toute une vie
This Is No Laughing Matter Composer(s): Van Loman - Martin Block - Al Frisch Performer(s): Glenn Miller & His Orch. (vocal: Ray Eberle) and multiple other artists
I have a feeling that something is wrong This is not the way that things should be We've known each other too well and too long You don't have to act with me
This is no laughing matter Somehow I want to cry I know your sweet and idle chatter Really means goodbye This is no laughing matter I thought we'd never part This is no time for pretty patter While you break my heart What of all the moon dreams shared together Beside the garden wall Love can't always have that perfect weather A little rain must fall Think of the dreams you'll shatter If you should say we're through This is no laughing matter Darling, I'm in love with you
Crazy Composer(s): Willie Nelson First release by: Patsy Cline - 1961 Covered by multiple other artists
Crazy I'm crazy for feelin' so lonely I'm crazy Crazy for feelin' so blue I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted And then someday You'd leave me for somebody new
Worry, why do I let myself worry? Wonderin' what in the world did I do?
I'm crazy For thinkin' that my love could hold you I'm crazy for cryin' And crazy for tryin' And I'm crazy for lovin' you
Crazy For thinkin' that my love could hold you I'm crazy for cryin' And crazy for tryin' And I'm crazy for lovin' you

Comme un jour qui va venir Un chagrin qui va finir Une porte qui va s'ouvrir Une étoile qui brille
Comme un couple qui va s'unir Une larme qui va mourir Un enfant qui va grandir Je n'aime que lui
J'aime le plein soleil Qui crève le ciel quand il sourit J'aime le pleins d'amour La vie qui court autour de lui J'aime la terre immense La nuit qui danse quand il est là J'aime même ma peine pour qu'il revienne Quand il s'en va
Ma vie se lit sur son visage Et le temps n'a plus d'âge J'aime le pleins soleil Qui crève le ciel quand il sourit J'aime le pleins d'amour La vie qui court autour de lui
Comme un jour qui va venir Un chagrin qui va finir Une porte qui va s'ouvrir Je n'aime que lui

J'aime quand le vent nous taquine Quand il joue dans tes cheveux Quand tu te fais ballerine Pour le suivre à pas gracieux J'aime quand tu reviens ravie Pour te jeter à mon cou Quand tu te fais petite fille Pour t'asseoir sur mes genoux J'aime le calme crépuscule Quand il s'installe à pas de loup Mais j'aime a espérer crédule Qu'il s'embraserait pour nous J'aime ta main qui me rassure Quand je me perds dans le noir Et ta voix elle murmure De la source de l'espoir J'aime quand tes yeux couleur de brume Me font un manteau de douceur Et comme sur un coussin de plumes Mon front se pose sur ton cur
Down In Jungle Town Composer(s): Edward Madden - Theodore Morse Performer(s): Spike Jones & his City Slickers and multiple other artists
Down in Jungle Town A honeymoon is comin' soon There will be a serenade To a pretty monkey maid And soon a big baboon Comes out to spoon beneath the moon Oh she'll be true to monkey doodle doo Way down in Jungle Town
And so we left the teeming little village and struck out into the mysterious jungle By native grapevine we had learned of a tribe of ferocious man-eating cannibals who held in their midst, Mamo, a beautiful white goddess After hacking our way through the dense undergrowth for hours, we finally came into a clearing There in the moonlight was Mamo, surrounded by a group of half crazed savages chanting the song of death
(Iiieee-yaaa, Pistol Packin' Mamo lay that pistol down)
