I'm So Restless Composer(s): Roger McGuinn; Jacques Levy Performer(s): Roger McGuinn
Hey, Mr. D do you want me to be A farmer a cowhand an old country boy To get up in the a.m. and tend to the chores And leave all my troubles behind a locked door Layin' with my lady and strumming' on my toy Oh, I know what you mean and it sounds good to me But oh, Mr. D. I'm so restless
Hey, Mr. L. do you want me to yell To howl at the moon when I'm losing my grip Without no possessions and finding myself The picture of mental and physical health But I'm still paying dues for that Indian trip Oh, I know what you mean and it sure rings a bell But oh, Mr. L. I'm so restless
Hey, Mr. J. do you want me to stray To be a bad boy a mean boy and ready to kill Wriggling' and slinkin' in snakeskin and black Holding my thumb on some chick in the sack And never say no if it gives me a thrill Oh, I know what you mean and I'd go all the way But oh, Mr. J. I'm so restless

Exercice En Forme De Z Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg Performer(s): Jane Birkin; Sabeline Campo
Zazie À sa visite au zoo Zazie suçant son zan S'amusait d'un vers luisant D'isidore Isou Quand zut ! Un vent blizzard Fusant de son falzar Voici zigzaguant dans les airs Zazie et son Blazer
L'oiseau Des îles est pris au zoom Par un paparazzi Zigouilleur visionnaire De scherzi de Mozart Drôle de zigoto Zieuteur du genre blasé Mateur de photos osées
Zazie Sur les vents alizés S'éclate dans l'azur Aussi légère que bulle d'Alka Selzer Elle visionne le zoo Survolant chimpanzés Gazelles lézards zébus buses et grizzlis d'Asie
L'oiseau Des îles est pris au zoom Par l'autre zèbre, bonne zigue Zazie le fusillant d'un bisou Lui fait voir son bazar Son zip et son Zippo Fendu de jusqu'à Zoo
I'm So Miserable Composer(s): Billy Ray Cyrus; Corky Holbrook Performer(s): Billy Ray Cyrus
I wake up in the mornin' in a lonely, icy bed Thinkin' 'bout the nightmare that just played in my head I think of all the things I miss Like moments that we share a kiss so dear I'm so miserable without you it's almost like you're here
I search your house for coffee but it's to no avail The days not even started it seems it's shot to hell The jeans I'm wearing look like dirt As I put on my old wrinkled shirt it smells like beer I'm so miserable without you it's almost like you're here
But there was a time when you were mine And life was such a pretty dream Then you fell in love with another man That changed everything The world I knew changed everyday As I watched it all slip away so clear I'm so miserable without you it's almost like you're here
I turn on my radio they play your favorite song Did I not do something right, was there something I done wrong As you pulled away you shouldn't tried Instead of feeling foolish pride and fear I'm so miserable without you it's almost like you're here I'm so miserable without you it's almost like you're here
Excusez-Moi, Mon Cherie Composer(s): Larry Hayes Performer(s): The Blues Brothers
My my my Look at all the faces There ain't nobody feelin' outta place here 'Cause they're movin' and they're groovin' and it sure looks good to me Excusez moi mon cherie Make way for my baby and me
Well everybody havin' such a good time Well my my baby I just spent my last dime Well that's okay 'cause I'm havin' fun I'm gonna stay till the night is done Excusez moi mon cherie Make way for my baby and me
Well don't you fight it just feel it When your baby takes you out on the floor Everybody is out a reelin' Steamin' and out to roll
Well you don't have to worry about the latest dance craze Just get up on the floor shake your hips and move your legs 'cause when the band starts with that groove you know you just can't help but move Excusez moi mon cherie Make way for my baby and me
And when the band starts with that groove you know you just can't help but move Excusez moi mon cherie Make way for my baby and me
I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry (Dutch Version: Ik Wou Dat Ik Je Vond - 2003) Composer(s): Hank Williams First release by: Hank Williams - 1949 Covered by multiple other artists
Hear the lonesome whippoorwill He sounds to blue to fly The midnight train is a-winding low I'm so lonesome I could cry
I've never seen a night so long When time keeps crawling by The moon is gone behind the clouds To hide his face and cry
Have you ever seen a robin weep When leaves have turned to brown? Like me he's lost his will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry
The silence of a falling star Lights up a purple haze And yes I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry
De ne pas être plus habile De ne pas danser sur un fil De ne pas me tenir très droit Je ne ferai pas de claquettes Ni de culbutes sur la tête Je ne sais quoi faire de mes bras de mes bras
Excusez-moi
Si je n'arrive pas à dire Tout ce que je voudrais vous dire A belle à claire à haute voix Louer le ciel la nuit le jour Et l'évidence de l'amour Simplement comme je le dois je le dois
Excusez-moi
Quand ma chanson deviendra triste C'est que j'ai sous les yeux la liste Des hommes partout mis en croix Je ne manque pas de courage Mais nous vivons au moyen-âge Les bras m'en tombent quelquefois quelquefois
Excusez-moi
Je rêve de chansons trempées Tranchantes comme un fil d'épée Et ne manie qu'un sabre en bois Un jour j'en ris l'autre j'en pleure Et qu'importe si c'est un leurre Je pourrai dire que j'y crois que j'y crois
Excusez-moi
Quand ma chanson deviendra folle Je n'y aurai pas d'autre rôle Que de vous chanter qu'à Cuba On prend l'argent pour seule cible On dit que rien n'est impossible Et que l'homme seul comptera comptera
Excusez-moi
De ne pas être plus habile De ne pas danser sur un fil De ne pas me tenir très droit Je ne courberai pas la tête A la fin de mes chansonnettes Je préfère vous regarder droit vous regarder droit

The Bertha Butt Boogie Composer(s): Jimmy Castor - Johnny Pruitt Performer(s): The Jimmy Castor Bunch
The party was jumpin' when Bertha got off o' her stump The whistles were blowin' and everybody did the "Bump" But all the time Bertha had been workin' on her goodie Now folks call it "The Bertha Butt Boogie"
When Bertha Butt did her goodie She started "The Bertha Butt Boogie" No question
When Bertha got movin' her hips were hummin' in the wind The ground started shakin' - no grass grew where she'd been! The music was poppin', the crowd had formed a ring Her sisters yelled, "Boogie, Bertha, do your thing!"
Uh, for your information, Bertha had three sisters Betty Butt, Bella Butt and Bathsheba Butt
When Bertha Butt did her goodie She started "The Bertha Butt Boogie" I said no question
Hey, Leroy, get away from that woman! The boy'll never learn! Uh-oh, here comes the Troglodyte! Troglodyte: "Come here, sock it to me!"
Bertha stood back and yelled, "Betty, Bella, Bathsheba!" And the Butt Sisters backed her up when she yelled, "I need ya!" The Troglodyte, Leroy, Luther and the Butt Sisters all knew That "The Bertha Butt Boogie" was now the thing to do
When Bertha Butt did her goodie She started "The Bertha Butt Boogie" No question
Bertha: "I'll sock it ya, daddy!" Troglodyte: "Me like, me like! Come here, woman, woman!" Leroy: "Yo' mama, I'm calling you, man!" Troglodyte: "Yeah - the Boogie!"

I'm So Glad I'm Standing Here Today Composer(s): Will Jennings; Joe Sample Performer(s): Joe Cocker and multiple other artists
There were times I remember Had to fight just to hold my head up Those times when even my friends tried to make a fool of me there were things that my heart looked at that they just couldnt see
Some said I was hopeless Mind tangled in the night Strong hearts just keep goin That is why Im still standing here today
Come together raise up your voices This time my song of love and life wont go away Ill sing forever here in the sunshine Ive lived to see the sun break through the storm And Im so glad Im standing here today
If your lost in your troubles And the world just seems to forget you If you remember sunshine even on your darkest day Just follow what your heart says And you will find the way
Some said I was hopeless Mind tangled in the night Strong hearts just keep goin That is why Im still standing here today
Come together raise up your voices This time my song of love and life wont go away Ill sing forever here in the sunshine Ive lived to see the sun break through the storm And Im so glad Im standing here today
Excuse Me, Lady Composer(s): J.M. Rivat; Artie Wayne Performer(s): Joe Dassin
Tu as bien changé d'allure Avec ton nez au ciel Et tes yeux qui papillonnent Ton p'tit chien qui frissonne Tu ne me trompes pas Va avec ton cinéma Ta robe et tes chaussures De la couleur de ta voiture
Excuse me lady, à d'autres mais pas à moi
Tu étais jeune et tendre Il était bien trop riche Vous deviez vous comprendre Lui le loup et toi la biche Pour un double coup de foudre C'est vraiment très heureux Et tu peux jeter de la poudre Aux yeux de qui tu veux Mais...
Excuse me lady, à d'autres mais pas à moi Excuse me lady, à d'autres mais pas à moi
Te souviens-tu quand même Quand on était bohèmes C'était toujours la fête On vivait d'amour et de café crème Toi, tu as pris ta route Moi, j'ai suivi la mienne Tu m'as bien manqué sans doute Mais depuis tout à l'heure Je n'en ai plus de peine
Excuse me lady, a d'autres mais pas a moi
A d'autres mais pas à moi Oh non, à d'autres mais pas à moi, pas à moi A d'autres mais pas à moi A quelqu'un d'autre si tu veux...
Excursion À Venise Composer(s): P. Tatartcheff; Anna McGarrigle Performer(s): Kate & Anna McGarrigle
À Notre-Dame de Stanbridge, les regards voilés de bure Et toi largement occupé, à délimiter les pavés À Sainte-Anne de la Pérade, les idées à la saumure Sur les chenaux ferme gelés, nos dimanches inachevés
Tu me faisais la cour Une excursion à Venise À la foire, les nounours Les violonneux, St-François d'Assise Écoute les cigales chanter
Et plus tard, encabanés, nous réveillant tout assoiffés Tâtonnant d'une main, vers la cruche d'eau figée Entre les portes et les fenêtres, la neige se hérissait Au poêle, du poêle allons vite, vite chasser la blanche gelée
Tard, au cours des veillées, les propos aimantés par les villes Je t'y plaçais volontiers, bien à l'aise dans les tramways Tous les pépères délestés, aux roulottes immobiles Se monfondant accotés, en bordure au long des highways

Tonight's the night we're gonna make it happen Tonight we'll put all other things aside Give in this time and show me some affection We're going for those pleasures in the night
I want to love you, feel you Wrap myself around you I want to squeeze you, please you I just can't get enough And if you move real slow, I'll let it go
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it I'm about to lose control and I think I like it I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it And I know, I know, I know, I know I know I want you
We shouldn't even think about tomorrow Sweet memories will last a long long time We'll have a good time baby don't you worry And if we're still playing around boy that's just fine
Let's get excited, we just can't hide it I'm about to lose control and I think I like it I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it And I know, I know, I know, I know I know I want you, want you
I want to love you, feel you Wrap myself around you I want to squeeze you, please you I just can't get enough And if you move real slow, I'll let it go
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it I'm about to lose control and I think I like it I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it And I know, I know, I know, I know I know I want you
I'm so excited (look what you do to me) and I just can't hide it (you got me burning up) I'm about to lose control and I think I like it I'm so excited (look what you do to me) and I just can't hide it (I'm about to give it up) And I know, I know, I know, I know I know I want you
Excerpt From A Teenage Opera Composer(s): Philwit Hopkins; Pegasus Hopkins Performer(s): Keith West
Count the days into years Yes, eighty-two brings many fears Yesterday's laughter turns to tears His arms and legs don't feel so strong His heart is weak, there's something wrong Opens windows in despair Tries to breathe in some fresh air His conscience cries, "Get on your feet Without you, Jack, the town can't eat"
Refrain:
Grocer Jack, Grocer Jack, get off your back go into town, don't let them down, oh no, no Grocer Jack, Grocer Jack, get off your back go into town, don't let them down, oh no, no
The people that live in the town don't understand - he's never been known to miss his round It's ten o'clock, the housewives yell "When Jack turns up, we'll give him hell" Husbands moan at breakfast tables, no milk, no eggs, no marmalade labels Mothers send their children out, to Jack's house to scream and shout
Refrain
It's Sunday morning, bright and clear lovely flowers decorate a marble square People cry and mourn away, think about the fateful day Now they wish they'd given Jack more affection and respect The little children, dressed in black, don't know what's happened to old Jack
Refrain
Grocer Jack, Grocer Jack, is it true what Mummy said you won't come back Oh no, no
I'm So Bored With The U.S.A. Composer(s): Topper Headon; Paul Simonon; Joe Strummer; Michael Geoffrey Jones First release by: The Clash - 1977 Covered by multiple other artists
Yankee soldier He wanna shoot some skag He met it in Cambodia But now he can't afford a bag
Yankee dollar talk To the dictators of the world In fact it's giving orders An' they can't afford to miss a word
I'm so bored with the U...S...A... But what can I do?
Yankee detectives Are always on the TV 'Cos killers in America Work seven days a week
Never mind the stars and stripes Let's print the Watergate Tapes I'll salute the New Wave And I hope nobody escapes
I'm so bored with the U...S...A... But what can I do?
Move up Starsky For the C.I.A. Suck on Kojak For the USA
