Mein Herr Composer(s): Fred Ebb; John Kander Performer(s): Liza Minnelli and various other artists
You have to understand the way I am, mein Herr A tiger is a tiger, not a lamb, mein Herr You'll never turn the vinegar to jam, mein Herr So I do, what I do When I'm through, then I'm through And I'm through, toodle oo
Bye bye mein lieber Herr, farewell mein lieber Herr It was a fine affair, but now it's over And though I used to care, I need the open air You're better off without me mein Herr
Don't dab your eye, mein Herr, or wonder why mein Herr I've always said that I was a rover You mustn't knit your brow You should have known by now You'd every cause to doubt me mein Herr
The continent of Europe is so wide, mein Herr Not only up and down, but side to side, mein Herr I couldn't ever cross it if I tried, mein Herr But I do what I can, inch by inch, step by step, mile by mile Man by man
Bye bye mein Herr Bye bye mein lieber Herr Auf wiedersehen, mein Herr Es war sehr gut, mein Herr, und vorbei Du kennst mich wohl, mein Herr Ach, lebe wohl, mein Herr Du sollst mich nie mehr sehen mein Herr
Bye bye mein lieber Herr Farewell mein lieber Herr It was a fine affair, but now it's over And though I used to care, I need the open air You're better off without me You'll get on without me, mein Herr

First release by: Talking Heads - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful
wife
And you may ask yourself
Well...
How did I get here?
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground
And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Water dissolving...and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground
And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right?...Am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
My God!...
What Have I Done?
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
A Christmas Carol
Composer(s): Tom Lehrer
Performer(s): Tom Lehrer and multiple other artists
Christmas time is here, by golly Disapproval would be folly Deck the halls with hunks of holly Fill the cup and don't say when
Kill the turkeys, ducks and chickens Mix the punch, drag out the Dickens Even though the prospect sickens Brother, here we go again
On Christmas Day you can't get sore Your fellow man you must adore There's time to rob him all the more The other three hundred and sixty-four
Relations, sparing no expense 'll Send some useless old utensil Or a matching pen and pencil ("Just the thing I need, how nice!")
It doesn't matter how sincere it is Nor how heartfelt the spirit Sentiment will not endear it What's important is the price
Hark, the Herald Tribune sings Advertising wondrous things God rest ye merry merchants May ye make the Yuletide pay Angels we have heard on high Tell us to go out and buy!
So, let the raucous sleighbells jingle Hail our dear old friend Kris Kringle Driving his reindeer across the sky Don't stand underneath when they fly by
Once In A Lifetime
Composer(s): Anthony Newley - Leslie Bricusse
First release by: Anthony Newley - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists
Just once in a lifetime A man knows a moment One wonderful moment When fate takes his hand And this is my moment My once in a lifetime When I can explore a new and exciting land
For once in my lifetime I feel like a giant I soar like an eagle As though I had wings For this is my moment My destiny calls me And though it may be just once in my lifetime I'm gonna do great things
And this is my moment My once in a lifetime When I can explore a new and exciting land
For once in my lifetime I feel like a giant I soar like an eagle As though I had wings For this is my moment My destiny calls me And though it may be just once in my lifetime I'm gonna do great things
As I was drifting off to sleep On this Christmas eve My thoughts turned to looking back At how this came to be Long ago and far away On a night so clear It was such a simple thing To echo through the years
Mary rock your baby boy As he softly cries There will be a world of tears Shed for him bye and bye Soon there will be peace and hope For all the world to know All because a child was born Two thousand years ago
An angel brought his tidings Not to priests and kings But to shepherds in their fields Afraid and trembling And standing in the manger How were they to know How the world would change around This babe in swaddling clothes
Mary rock your baby boy As he softly cries There will be a world of tears Shed for him bye and bye Now there can be peace and hope For all the world to know All because a child was born Two thousand years ago
Se a noite não tem fundo O mar perde o valor Opaco é o fim do mundo Pra qualquer navegador Que perde o oriente E entra em espirais E topa pela frente Um contingente Que ele já deixou pra trás
Os soluços dobram tão iguais Seus rivais, seus irmãos Seu navio carregado de ideais Que foram escorrendo feito grãos As estrelas que não voltam nunca mais E um oceano pra lavar as mãos
Once I Was Composer(s): Larry Beckett; Tim Buckley Performer(s): Tim Buckley; Eric Andersen; Tram
Once I was a soldier And I fought on foreign sands for you Once I was a hunter And I brought home fresh meat for you Once I was a lover And I searched behind your eyes for you And soon there'll be another To tell you I was just a lie
And sometimes I wonder Just for a while Will you remember me
And though you have forgotten All of our rubbish dreams I find myself searching Through the ashes of our ruins For the days when we smiled And the hours that ran wild With the magic of our eyes And the silence of our words
And sometimes I wonder Just for a while Will you remember me
A Christmas Letter
Composer(s): Gene Nelson - John Greenebaum - Paul Nelson
Performer(s): Reba McEntire
At an antique desk an old man sits alone Oh, it's Christmas Eve and it's almost time to go He signs his name to a letter he just wrote Then he reads it back with a voice as soft as snow
I want peace on Earth for Christmas In a world where there's not one hungry child A day when hope and faith conquers fear and hate All I'm asking for is a little more love
Then he walks outside and climbs upon his sleigh And calls out to his reindeer, then off they fly away Oh, tonight he'll make a million dreams appear While he wishes that his own dreams could come true this year
I want peace on Earth for Christmas In a world where there's not one hungry child A day when hope and faith conquers fear and hate All I'm asking for is a little more love
A day when hope and faith just conquers fear and hate All I'm asking for is a little more love
Meglio Per Te Se Piangi French Title: Rentre Chez Toi Et Pleure Composer(s): Calabrese; Charles Aznavour; Gilbert Bécaud Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Meglio per te se piangi Io ho pianto già per te Non sai per quante ore Ho portato con me Il ricordo di te Meglio per te se piangi Il pianto ti calmerà Attenuerà il dolore E lo cancellerà Pena d'amore è breve Ombra sottile e lieve Che si allontanerà da te Meglio per te se piangi Il pianto ti calmerà E dopo tanto dolore Da me ti guiderà Meglio per te spiangi Piangi, piangi...

If a man gets the idea that youre flippety-jibbedy And starts gettin ready to take a diabolical liberty If he gives you a line youre not keen on swallowing Give him an old-fashioned look And repeat the following

Theres a bloodhound in the kitchen Hasnt had a bite all day Uncle Arthurs back in Dartmoor Aunties with the I.R.A Grandmas digging in the cellar No-one knows where grandpa is Theyre a lot of smasher Bruisers, boozers, bashers Theyre a family of savages
