Jump Jump Composer(s): Debbie Harry; Chris Stein Performer(s): Debbie Harry
Wearing stripes, arms up high, as tall as can be Nothing more than a frozen smile to see In the cage he'll defy all that's logical Under lights, stay up all night with his formula In the grip in the step of potential rage Oh it's hip, formulated to fascinate If you do it like this: jump! jump! Do it like this: jump! jump! She moves faster than any eye can see Moving parts that aren't moved normally In the haze what it isn't is what you see On and off, up and down, like a yo yo string Try to do it like this: jump! jump! No, no, like this: jump! jump! Do it for a kiss: jump! jump! Do it like this: jump! jump!
They shine, we shield our eyes to see what is the dazzling and the enchanted
They whine "come closer to me" That is the dizzying, the dancing sorcery Jump little doggie Do what she say Jump jump jump Jump little doggie Do what she say Jump jump jump Jump little doggie Do what she say Jump jump jump Jump little doggie Do what she say Jump jump jump
Whoa whoa, my little doggie, he does a trick Ruff ruff! He went to school to learn how to sit We were excited, delighted having fun As we decended the exit, got off the bus We got friends, we got fans now, and this is proof Can you tell me why that guy is on the roof? Oh ho, do it like this: jump! jump! Try it like this: jump! jump! Do it more like this: jump! jump!
Jump little doggie Do what she say Jump jump jump Jump little doggie Do what she say Jump jump jump Jump little doggie Do what she say Jump jump jump Jump little doggie Do what she say Jump jump jump

You can climb a mountain You can swim the sea You can jump into the fire But you'll never be free
You can shake me up Or I can break you down Whoa-o-o-o Whoa-o-o-o We can make each other happy We can make each other happy We can make each other happy We can make each other happy

Took the car and drove off the hills Saw the flashing lights and saw them die I left behind society that kills Me and Nancy waved them all goood-bye I took the car the sun was going down
Saw the changing colours of the sky An old Apache canyon our camp-ground
Secure and safe together made us sigh
Took the car and filled the trunk with wood Took it back and made of it a fire
To be a child again would be so good Me and Nancy warm in our desire Took the car and drove it everywhere Through the land where all the west began Desert wind was blowing in our hair
I Know It Composer(s): Madonna Performer(s): Madonna
I don't know why I thought that I could make you happy These tears I cry for you are so hopeless, yeah I don't know why I thought that we were going somewhere But you grabbed your coat and you were out the door And now I know you don't care
I know you're gonna take your love and run I know you think I'm the foolish one I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye
I used to think you were my pretty angel comin' down Well now you've just proven me wrong What about the letters we have written All the things we've said and done I'll just stand here while you count the battles you have won
I know you're gonna take your love and run I know you think I'm the foolish one I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye I know it
But I'm not gonna cry for you 'Cause that's what you want me to do No I'm not gonna cry for you anymore
I know you're gonna take your love and run I know you think I'm the foolish one I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye I know it
Take your love and run from me Is this the way love's supposed to be You don't think that I can see But you can't fool me
But I'm not gonna cry for you 'Cause that's what you want me to do No I'm not gonna cry for you anymore
I know you're gonna take your love and run I know you think I'm the foolish one I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye I know it

I Know I Got More Than My Share Composer(s): Grant Clarke; Howard Johnson
To every one beneath the sun, God sends his blessings down Like dew they fall upon us all, in every home they're found To some a name, to others fame, His gifts are every where The poor man and the rich a like, will both receive their share
Through life we go and never know what future years may hold The skies of gray may fade away and some day turn to gold So don't complain there's naught to gain, just learn to live and love We all must wait to learn our fate, and trust to Him above
God gives the wise men their wisdom, sends all the poets their dreams To father and mother their love for each other we all get a share, so it seems I thought that I was forgotten My life was an empty affair But He thought of me too, and when God gave me you I know I got more than my share

Oh, jump back, baby, jump back Oh, jump back, baby, jump back Jump, jump
Well, I went back home to get some sleep (jump back, baby, jump back) I give the bed bugs the time to creep (jump back, baby, jump back) If one should bite before I wake (jump back, baby, jump back) Hope the world enjoys the break (jump back, baby, jump back)
Oh, jump back, baby, jump back Oh, jump back, baby, jump back Jump, jump
Paid 5 dollars for an old grey horse (jump back, baby, jump back) Horse wouldn't pull, so I swapped for a bull (jump back, baby, jump back) Bull wouldn't holler so I sold it for a dollar (jump back, baby, jump back) The dollar I wouldn't need so I throwed it in the grass (jump back, baby, jump back) The grass wouldn't grow, so I chopped it with a hoe (jump back, baby, jump back) The hoe wouldn't chop, so I took it to the shop (jump back, baby, jump back) The shop made money like the bees make honey (jump back, baby, jump back)
Oh, jump back, baby, jump back Oh, jump back, baby, jump back Jump, jump
You gotta jump back, baby, every single night You gotta jump back, baby, every single night Why don't you jump back, baby? You gotta jump back, baby
There's something that I just can't seem to Get off my mind and it's this, girl We've let it go too far We're too young to have tied ourselves to Each others' arms We've forgotten who we are
I loved her; the two of us were one plus one One together, but I found That two cannot stay one, stay one forever
There's something that I just can't seem to Get off my mind, and it's this, girl We've let it go too far We're too young to have tied ourselves to Each others' arms We've forgotten who we are
There's something that I just can't seem to Get off my mind, and it's this, girl We've let it go too far We're too young to have tied ourselves to Each others' minds! We've forgotten who we are We've forgotten who we are We've forgotten who we are
Too young to have tied ourselves Have tied ourselves Too young to have tied ourselves Have tied ourselves...
I Know Him So Well Composer(s): Benny Andersson; Tim Rice; Bjorn Ulvaeus First release by: Elaine Paige & Barbara Dickson - 1984 Covered by multiple other artists
Nothing is so good it lasts eternally Perfect situations must go wrong But this has never yet prevented me From wanting far too much for far too long Looking back, I could have done it differently Won a few more moments, who can tell? But it took time to understand the man Now at least I know, I know him well
Wasn't it good, Wasn't it fine Isn't it madness he can't be mine But in the end, he needs a little more than before Security, he needs his fantasy and freedom I know him so well
No one in your life is with you constantly No one is completely on your side And though I move my world to be with him Still the gap between us is too wide Looking back, I could have played it differently Learned about the man before I fell But I was ever so much younger then
Wasn't it good (oh so good), Wasn't it fine (so fine) Isn't it madness he can't be mine
Didn't I know how it would go If I knew from the start Why am I falling apart
Wasn't it fine Isn't it madness he can't be mine But in the end, he needs a little more than before Security, he needs his fantasy and freedom I know him so well It took some to understand him Ooo ooh I know him so well

Too Young ((Dutch Version: Te Jong (Bart Ekkers)) Composer(s): Sylvia Dee - Sid Lippman First release: Nat King Cole - 1951 Covered by multiple other artists
They try to tell us we're too young Too young to really be in love They say that love's a word A word we've only heard But can't begin to know the meaning of
And yet we're not too young to know This love will last though years may go And then some day they may recall We were not too young at all
And yet we're not too young to know This love will last though years may go And then some day they may recall We were not too young at all
I Know A Story Composer(s): Country Washburne; Ted Weems Performer(s): Spike Jones
I know a story, of love undying It is a story of my love for you A tragic story of how I'm tryin' To make you love me just as I love you At night I lie awake and try to make my heart behave But I can't forget that since we met I've been your slave I know a story of love undying It is a story of my love for you
Jumbo Composer(s): Nicolas Peyrac Performer(s): Nicolas Peyrac
Il y a du brouillard sur Paris Je n'atteindrai jamais Orly Et dire que les cons devant Roulent en prenant tout leur temps Le patron a dû rentrer Il m'aura fait demander Mais y'en a marre de ramper De dire amen toute la journée Tout en risquant de se faire sacquer Pour qui, pour quoi Pour un peu plus de cent mille anciens francs par mois
Je monterai dans le Jumbo M'allongerai près du hublot L'hôtesse me dira bonjour Avec des yeux brûlants d'amour Et puis je m'envolerai Adieu la France à jamais Je referai l'Eldorado avec le soleil sur la peau Un coin de terre à Mexico, plus de métro Rien que moi, la valise et l'argent du gros lot
Et dire que ça fait 20 ans Que je compte tout cet argent Et dire que pendant 20 ans Je voyais les billets gagnants Rapporter 200 millions À tous les clampins Dupont Et dire que pendant 20 ans Je n'ai pas eu un billet gagnant La modique somme de 3 francs foutait le camp Chaque semaine 52 fois par an
Je vois les pistes d'Orly Mon Dieu faites donc qu'ils m'oublient Les flics de l'aéroport N'ont pas l'air de savoir encore Que la loterie c'est moi, Que je ne reviendrai pas Ils tamponnent mon passeport Dans 10 minutes je serai à bord Reste la fouille et j'aurai le corps un peu plus froid Pour l'instant mon coeur ne sait plus comment il bat
Il y a du brouillard sur Orly Je vois les lumières de Paris Blotti contre le hublot Je m'endors jusqu'à Mexico

I Know A Place German Version: Come On My Boy Composer(s): Tony Hatch First release by: Petula Clark - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists
Every day when the work is behind you And the shop and the store Put the lock on the door Just get away Where your worries won't find you If you like, well I'll tell you more
Don't let the day get the better of you When the evening comes There's so much to do You better put on your best And wear a smile Just come along with me awhile 'Cause I tell you
I know a place Where the music is fine And the lights are always low I know a place where we can go
At the door there's a man who will greet you Then you go downstairs To some tables and chairs Soon I'm sure you'll be tappin' your feet Because the beat is the greatest there
All around there are girls and boys It's a swingin' place A cellar full of noise It's got an atmosphere Of its own somehow You gotta come along right now 'Cause I tell you
I know a place Where the music is fine And the lights are always low I know a place where we can go
Well, all around there are girls and boys It's a swingin' place A cellar full of noise It's got an atmosphere Of its own somehow You gotta come along right now 'Cause I tell you
