I'm Putting All My Eggs In One Basket Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers
Fred: I've been a roaming Romeo My Juliet's have been many But now my roaming days have gone Too many irons in the fire Is worse than not having any I've had my share and from now on... I'm putting all my eggs in one basket I'm betting everything I've got on you I'm giving all my love to one baby Heaven help me if my baby don't come through I've got a great big amount saved up in my love account Honey, and I've decided, love divided in two won't do So I'm putting all my eggs in one basket I'm betting everything I've got on you
Ginger: I'm putting all my eggs in one basket I'm betting everything I've got on you I'm giving all my love to one baby Heaven help me if my baby don't come through I've tried to love more than one, finding it just can't be done Honey, there's one I lie to when I try to be true to two So I'm putting all my eggs in one basket I'm betting everything I've got on you
Peron: Dice are rolling, the knives are out Would be presidents are all around I don't say they mean harm, but they'd each give an arm To see us six feet under ground
Eva: It doesn't matter what those morons say Our nation's leaders are a feeble crew There's only twenty of them anyway What is twenty next to millions who Are looking to you?
All you have to do is sit and wait Keeping out of everybody's way We'll--you'll be handed power on a plate When the ones who matter have their say And with chaos instAll:ed You can reluctantly agree to be cAll:ed
Peron: There again we could be foolish Not to quit while we're ahead For distance lends enchantment And that is why All exiles are distinguished More important they're not dead I could find job satisfaction In Paraguay
Eva: This is crazy defeatist talk Why commit political suicide? There's no risk; there's no call for any action at all when you have unions on your side
Workers' Voices: Peron! Peron!
Che: A new Argentina! The chains of the masses untied! A new Argentina! The voice of the people cannot be denied!
Eva: There is only one man who can lead any workers' regime He lives for your problems, he shares your ideals and your dreams He supports you for he loves you, understands you, is one of you If not--how could he love me?
Mob: A new Argentina! The workers' battle song! A new Argentina! The voice of the people rings out loud and long!
Eva: Now I am a worker I've suffered the way that you do I've been unemployed and I've starved and I hated it too But I found my salvation in Peron--may the nation Let him save them as he saved me
Che: A new Argentina! A new age about to begin!
Che and Secret Police: A new Argentina! We face the world together and no dissent within
(The Secret Police lay into Che)
Individual Workers: Nationalisation of the industries that the foreigners control Participation in the profits that we make Shorter hours Higher wages Votes for women Larger dole More public spending A bigger slice of every cake
Peron: It's annoying that we have to fight elections for our cause The inconvenience--having to get a majority If normal methods of persuasion fail to win us applause There are other ways of establishing authority
Secret Police: We have ways of making you vote for us, or at least of making you abstain
Eva: Peron: has resigned from the army and this we avow The descamisados are those he is marching with now! He supports you for he loves you, understands you, is one of you If not--how could he love me?
All: A new Argentina! The chains of the masses untied! A new Argentina! The voice of the people cannot be, and will not be, and must not be, denied!
Peron: There again we could be foolish Not to quit while we're ahead I can see me many miles away Inactive Sipping cocktails on a terrace Taking breakfast in bed Sleeping easy, doing crosswords It's attractive
Eva: Don't think I don't think like you, I often get those nightmares too They always take some swallowing Sometimes it's very difficult to keep momentum if It's you that you are following Don't close doors Keep an escape clause Because we might lose The Big Apple But--would I have done, what I did If I hadn't thought, if I hadn't known We would take the country?
All: A new Argentina! The chains of the masses untied! A new Argentina! The voice of the people cannot be, and will not be, and must not be, denied!

Evil Ways Composer(s): Sonny Henry; Joe Zack Performer(s): Santana
You've got to change your evil ways, baby Before I stop lovin' you You've got to change, baby And every word that I say is true You've got me runnin' and hidin' All over town You've got me sneakin' and a peepin' And runnin' you down This can't go on Lord knows you've got to change Baby, baby
When I come home, baby My house is dark and my pots are cold You're hanging around, baby With Jean and Joan and a who knows who I'm getting tired of waiting and fooling around I'll find somebody who won't Make me feel like a clown This can't go on Lord knows you've got to change
I'm Past My Prime Composer(s): Gene de Paul; Johnny Mercer Emily Skinner & Alice Ripley
Daisy Mae Marryin' Sam I'm past my prime What a shame And I'm losin' time Guess the old clock's run down Seventeen last spring My, what a wasted life Still without a ring When will you be a wife? I'm past my peak You're an early antique Look at this physique Just hear the old bones creak Where there was a glow There ain't a glow no more Now the wrinkles show Where art Thou Romeo?
Who'd think of marryin' an octogenarian, Oh, me, oh, my Eighty-seven year old hag When you're in this position you'll lose your disposition Oh, me, oh, my All the time it's nag, nag, nag
Life's like a song And the happiest thing When you're young and strong Most everyday is spring But it's just a crime You can't get off the time When you're past your prime
You's past your prime Gettin' grumpy and grey You's on over time Ain't making take-home pay Every sun that sets All through the day I frets Brings ya more regrets And larger silhouettes You's climb the heights I is over the hill Of romantic nights My hand has lost it's skill Comes the cruel dawn I's feelin' pale and drawn Lover boy has gone Dog gone!
I ask you who's elated when you's Methusilated Oh, me, oh, my Like a mummy underground When you is antiquated ors/and dejectaquated Oh, me, oh, my They'd prefers you in the round
Life's just like pie Huckleberry or peach? When you're young and spry Heaven's within your reach But it's just a crime How can it be sublime When you're past your prime? When you're past your prime? When you're past your prime?
Evil Love Chain Composer(s): Barry Hay; George Kooymans Performer(s): Golden Earring
She took my money She stole my car Broke my heart And smashed my guitar She slandered my name And laughed in my face And on Saturday night She went and trashed the whole place
She's driving me crazy Beyond insane She plays with my mind As if it's a game And most of all Stranger than strange I come begging for more Again and again
I can't break away From the circle of pain I can't break away This evil love-chain
She's mean when she's happy Cruel when she's sad She finds something good And she turns it to bad She's young and good-looking And shakes the whole bed While black magic voodoo Lives inside her head
The girl is a menace A danger,a threat Can't get no worse She's as bad as it gets She looks like a princess But I know instead She's Dracula's daughter And the angel of death
I'm Only Sleeping Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney First release by: The Beatles - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
When I wake up early in the morning Lift my head, I'm still yawning When I'm in the middle of a dream Stay in bed, float upstream (float upstream) Please don't wake me, no, don't shake me Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping
Everybody seems to think I'm lazy I don't mind I think they're crazy Running everywhere at such a speed Till they find there's no need (there's no need)
Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away And after all I'm only sleeping Keeping an eye on the world going by my window Taking my time, lying there and staring at the ceiling Waiting for a sleepy feeling
Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away And after all I'm only sleeping Keeping an eye on the world going by my window Taking my time
When I wake up early in the morning Lift my head, I'm still yawning When I'm in the middle of a dream Stay in bed, float upstream (float upstream) Please don't wake me, no, don't shake me Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping

One I love, far away, far away, far away Land of Love, Mandalay Mandalay, Mandalay Where the waving trees kiss the ocean breeze In a garden fair, 'mid the roses there I'm goin' to find someone who waits for me across the sea
All night long, by the sea, by the sea, by the sea Her love song Rings for me, rings for me, rings for me All the world will seem just a lovely dream And I'll never stray far from Mandalay I'll live for one who lives alone for me in days to be
I'm on my way to Mandalay Beneath the shelt'ring palms I want to stray Oh, let me live and love for aye On that Island far away I'm sentimental for my Oriental love, so sweet and gentle That's why I'm on my way to Mandalay I've come to say "Good-bye"

When I look for the love in your eyes You turn away And there's nothing as loud as the words We never say Look at us now, standing on the edge again Look at us now, it's not too late to try again I need some...
Evidence of love, to keep me going on Please show me some Evidence of love, and I'll be here I still believe we can see it through There's just so much, that I can do It doesn't make sense, without some evidence of love
There's a cold, cold look on your face Is it saying good-bye? 'Cause there's nothing as cold as the ashes When the fire has died Talk to me now, tell me what you're missing Talk to me now, I'll try and find your heart again I need some...
Evidence of love, to keep me going on Please show me some Evidence of love, and I'll be here I still believe we can see it through There's just so much, that I can do It doesn't make sense, without some evidence of love
Stand and fight Try to say what's on your mind, baby So much is on the line There's a chance we'll make it right
Look at us now, standing on the edge again Look at us now, it's not too late to try again I need some...
Evidence of love, to keep me going on Please show me some Evidence of love, and I'll be here
I'm On My Way To Dublin Bay Composer(s): Stanley Murphy Performer(s): The Peerless Quartet
Michael Shea he marched away with the Dublin Fusiliers And he left the town in cheers, but he left his girl in tears But in the rattle of the battle, Michael stood his test And he won a Sergeant's uniform and a medal on his chest He got a two month's furlough and he started on his way His Irish eyes a dancin' as the Boys heard him say
Goodbye! I'm on my way to dear old Dublin Bay That's why I'm feelin' gay For oh! I know sweet Molly-O My colleen, fair to see, is waiting there for me Her heart with love a bubblin' On Dublin Bay
Michael Shea reached Dublin Bay when the spring was in the air And he found his colleen fair, and he hugged her like a bear He took her down to Dublin town and Father John Malloy Tied a doublin' knot right on the spot for Molly and her boy Then on an Irish jaunting car beside her bold gossoon She learned to sing this chorus by the risin' o' the moon
Goodbye! I'm on my way to dear old Dublin Bay That's why I'm feelin' gay For oh! I know sweet Molly-O My colleen, fair to see, is waiting there for me Her heart with love a bubblin' On Dublin Bay
Goodbye! I'm on my way to dear old Dublin Bay That's why I'm feelin' gay For oh! I know sweet Molly-O My colleen, fair to see, is waiting there for me Her heart with love a bubblin' On Dublin Bay
Évidemment Composer(s): Michel Berger Performer(s): France Gall; Attila Bardoczy; Eva Fabian; Lara Fabian; Laurence Jalbert
Y a comme un goût amer en nous Comme un goût de poussière dans tout Et la colère qui nous suit partout
Y a des silences qui disent beaucoup Plus que tous les mots qu'on avoue Et toutes ces questions qui ne tiennent pas debout
Evidemment Évidemment On danse encore Sur les accords Qu'on aimait tant
Évidemment Évidemment On rit encore Pour les bêtises Comme des enfants Mais pas comme avant
Et ces batailles dont on se fout C'est comme une fatigue, un dégoût A quoi ça sert de courir partout On garde cette blessure en nous Comme une éclaboussure de boue Qui n'change rien, qui change tout
Évidemment Évidemment On rit encore Pour les bêtises Comme des enfants Mais pas comme avant Pas comme avant
Mets ton masque à gaz Sokolov Que tes fermentations anaérobies Fassent éclater les tubas de ta renommée Et que les vents irrépressibles Transforment abscisses et ordonnées En de sublimes anamorphoses
