It's A Man's Man's Man's World Composer(s): Betty Jean Newsome; James Brown First release by: James Brown & the Famous Flames - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
Titles In Other Languages: 1966 - Si Tu M'aimes Encore 1966 - Mondo Di Uomini 1967 - Se Mi Vuoi Sempre Bene
This is a man's world, this is a man's world But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
You see, mn made the cars to take us over the road Man made the trains to carry heavy loads Man made electric light to take us out of the dark Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark
This is a man's, a man's, a man's world But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
Man thinks about a little baby girls and a baby boys Man makes then happy 'cause man makes them toys And after man has made everything, everything he can You know that man makes money to buy from other man
This is a man's world But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
He's lost in the world of man He's lost in bitterness

Se mi vuoi sempre bene Se tu mi vuoi sempre bene Non mi devi lasciar Oh no Ho bisogno di te Anche se trovi Che sono piu' silenzioso E se non ti guardo piu' Come ti guardavo prima Anche se qualche volta Ti pare quasi di odiarmi E se ti stanco solo Stando vicino a te Se mi vuoi bene bene bene Oh no Non mi devi lasciar Ho bisogno di te... Anche se tu pensi Che per nulla Ho buttato via Per fare un po' di musica La tua vita e la mia Anche quando l'eta' Avra' tutto cambiato E anche quando saprai Che niente serve a niente Se mi vuoi bene Bene bene bene Non mi devi lasciar Ho bisogno di te Oh no Ti voglio bene sai...
Si Tu M'aimes Encore (Adapted from: It's A Man's Man's Man's World - 1966) (Italian Versions: Mondo Di Uomini - 1966; Se Mi Vuoi Sempre Bene - 1967) Composer(s): Betty Jean Newsome; James Brown; Nino Ferrer Performer(s): Nino Ferrer - 1966
Dis, si tu m'aimes encore Dis, si tu m'aimes encore Ne me laisse jamais jamais tout seul, je t'aime trop!
Même si tu crois qu'on n'a plus rien à se dire Et même si le temps passé a fait passer notre désir Même si tu te rends compte que tu me hais parfois Même si je te fatigue, simplement parce que je suis là
Dis si tu m'aimes, m'aimes, m'aimes encore Ne me laisse jamais, non jamais tout seul Je t'aime trop!
Même si tu penses que j'ai détruit de mes mains Ma vie pour ma musique et la tienne pour rien Même quand l'hiver de l'âge aura flétri nos corps Et même lorsque tu sauras que rien ne sert à rien
Dis, si tu m'aimes encore Ne me laisse jamais, non jamais, tout seul Je t'aime trop!
Je t'aime, dis mon pauvre amour Je t'aime et ne sais pas le dire Je t'aime {ad lib}
That's Old Fashioned (That's The Way Love Should Be)
That's Old Fashioned (That's The Way Love Should Be) Composer(s): Bill Giant - Bernie Baum - Florence Kaye Performer(s): The Everly Brothers
We hold hands in the movie show So they say that were old fashioned Or we stroll beneath the silvry moon, oo-oo-oo-oon And we carve our initials in the old oak tree Thats old fashioned, thats the way love should be
We enjoy sitting side by side In the booth in the ice cream parlor Where we play the nickelodeon, ah-ah-ah-ahn And we dance when we hear our favorite melody Thats old fashioned, thats the way love should be
Its a modern changing world Everything is moving fast But when it comes to love I like What they did in the past
Im the kind who loves only one So the boys say Im old fashioned Let them laugh, honey I dont mi-i-i-i-ind Ive made plans for a wedding day for you and me Thats old fashioned, thats the way love should be
It's A Lowdown Dirty Deal Composer(s): John L. Crainer; T-Bone Walker Performer(s): T-Bone Walker
It's great to be rich and a doggone shame to be poor It's great to be rich and a doggone shame to be poor It's a lowdown dirty deal when your woman don't want you no more
I tried to please her but it only made her mad I tried to please her but it only made her mad She done strip me and took everything I had
Now what you gonna do with a woman like that? Now what you gonna do with a woman like that? Who takes all your money yes and leaves you flat?
Yes it's great to be rich and a doggone shame to be poor It's a lowdown dirty deal when your woman don't want you no more Now it was money in the morning, and money every night
If I didn't have no money, she was ready to fight It's great to be rich and a doggone shame to be poor It's a lowdown dirty deal when your woman don't want you no more
Chrissy, The Christmas Mouse Composer(s): Louis S. Filardi Performer(s): Donald O'Connor
All of Santa's reindeer pull his sleigh And that's their claim to fame But in Santa's house, there lives a little mouse And Chrissy is her name
Oh Chrissy, the Christmas mouse Lives in the middle of Santa's house And all day long she would romp and play And help Santa load his Christmas sleigh
Now the story goes that Chrissy's nose Was also big and bright But we all know she did not go On that famous ride that night
Christmas day found her sad and blue And Santa said, "What's wrong with you?" She said, "I'm here all alone each day While you're out riding in your Christmas sleigh"
Oh Chrissy, the Christmas mouse Lives in the middle of Santa's house And all day long she would romp and play And help Santa load his Christmas sleigh
Now every day she would beg and plead With Santa and his wife "Oh Santa, Santa", Chrissy said "Please let me ride upon your Christmas sled"
And Santa said to Mrs. Claus "Did Chrissy finish all her chores?" "She cleaned her room, and made her bed Please let her ride in your Christmas sled"
Oh Chrissy, the Christmas mouse Lives in the middle of Santa's house And all day long she would romp and play And help Santa load his Christmas sleigh
Now on Christmas eve when the moon is high And the children are all in bed Just look above and see our love Riding in Santa's sled
Oh Chrissy, the Christmas mouse Lives in the middle of Santa's house She's so happy on Christmas day Because she rides on Santa's sleigh "Merry Christmas everybody!" "Merry Christmas!" "Yeah!"
It's A Lovely Day Tomorrow Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Vera Lynn and multiple other artists
It's a lovely day tomorrow Tomorrow is a lovely day Come and feast your tear-dimmed eyes On tomorrow's clear blue skies If today your heart is weary If every little thing looks grey Just forget your troubles and learn to say Tomorrow is a lovely day

Child's Christmas In Wales Composer(s): John Cale Performer(s): John Cale
With mistletoe and candle green To Halloween we go Ten murdered oranges bled on board ship Lends comedy to shame The cattle graze bold uprightly Seducing down the door To saddle swords and meeting place We have no place to go
Then wearily the footsteps worked The hallelujah crowds Too late but wait the long legged bait Tripped uselessly around Sebastopol Adrianapolis The prayers of all combined Take down the flags of ownership The walls are falling down
A belt to hold Columbus too, perimeters of nails Perceived the Mamma's golden touch Good neighbors were we all
It's A Lovely Day Today Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Russell Nype & Galina Talva and multiple other artists
Male: It's a lovely day today So whatever you've got to do You've got a lovely day to do it in, that's true
And I hope whatever you've got to do Is something that can be done by two For I'd really like to stay
It's a lovely day today And whatever you've got to do I'd be so happy to be doing it with you
But if you've got something that must be done And it can only be done by one There is nothing more to say Except it's a lovely day for saying It's a lovely day
Female: It's a lovely day today And whatever I've got to do I've got a lovely day to do it in, that's true
But perhaps whatever I've got to do Is something that can be done by two If it is then you could stay
It's a lovely day today But you're probably busy too So I suppose there's nothing we can do
For if you've got something that must be done And it can only be done by one There is nothing more to say Except it's a lovely day for saying It's a lovely day
Male: It's a lovely day today If you've something that must get done Now don't forget two heads are better than just one
And besides I'm certain if you knew me You'd find I'm very good company Won't you kindly let me stay?
Both: It's a lovely day today And whatever we've got to do We've got a lovely day to do it in, that's true
And I know whatever we've got to do Is something that can be done by two
I'll say it's a lovely day for saying It's a lovely day

It's A Long Way Up Composer(s): John Annesi; Barry Manilow Performer(s): Barry Manilow
Once you find what matters in your life Keep on pushing through the darkness Till you see the light You're gonna find it You're no longer behind it
Once you learn what you've been doing wrong You can make the change You need to make to carry on Now and forever The sooner the better, just remember now . . .
It's a long way up When you're coming from nowhere It's a long way up When you're coming from nowhere You got to fight a little harder You got to push a little more You got to gamble everything you got To get you through the door 'Cause it's a long way up You've been down before but that's okay You can rest assured That every dog will have his day And life is a jungle But you ain't gonna crumble, remember now . . .
It's a long way up When you're coming from nowhere It's a long way up When you're coming from nowhere You got to fight a little harder You got to push a little more You got to gamble everything you got To get you through the door 'Cause it's a long way up
Don't give up the dream Hey don't you know it's dark before the dawn When you think you just can't take it That's when you'll make it
Child Of Winter Composer(s): Steve Kalinich - Brian Wilson Performer(s): The Beach Boys
A child of winter, a child of the snow I'm making a snowball that someone will throw I'm making a snowman with charcoal for the eyes A scarf draped in red and a derby on his head
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus Right down Santa Claus lane Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer Are pulling on the reins Bells are ringing, children singing All is merry and bright Hang your stockings and say your prayers 'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight
The eve of christmas, presents have been passed The wood in the fireplace is glowing it's last I'm closing my eyes now, in my bed I'm snuggling Outside my window the carolers sing
Christmas comes and the snow covers all Trees are decorated with tinsel and lights Mama's in the kitchen making cookies and bread The children are hungry, they're waiting to be fed
A child of Christmas, a child of snow A wonderful feeling underneath the mistletoe And may your Christmas last all year With laughter of children, peace and cheer
A child of Christmas, a child of snow A wonderful feeling underneath the mistletoe Merry Christmas to you Ding dong ding go the bells Ding dong ding go the bells Ding dong ding go the bells Ding dong ding go the bells Ding dong ding go the bells
It's A Long Way To Tipperary Composer(s): Jack Judge; Harry H. Williams Performer(s): John McCormack and multiple other artists
Up to mighty London came an Irishman one day As the streets were paved with gold, sure ev'ry one was gay Singing songs of Piccadilly, Strand and Leicester Square Till Paddy got excited, then he shouted to them there
It's a long way to Tipperary It's a long way to go It's a long way to Tipperary To the sweetest girl I know! Goodbye Piccadilly! Farewell Leicester Square! It's a long, long way to Tipperary But my heart's right there!
Paddy wrote a letter to his Irish Molly O' Saying "Should you not receive it, write and let me know! If I make mistakes in spelling, Molly dear", said he "Remember it's the pen that's bad, don't lay the blame on me"
It's a long way to Tipperary It's a long way to go It's a long way to Tipperary To the sweetest girl I know! Goodbye Piccadilly! Farewell Leicester Square! It's a long, long way to Tipperary But my heart's right there!
Molly wrote a neat reply to Irish Paddy O' Saying "Mike Maloney wants to marry me, and so Leave the Strand and Piccadilly, or you'll be to blame For love has fairly drove me silly - hoping you're the same!"
It's a long way to Tipperary It's a long way to go It's a long way to Tipperary To the sweetest girl I know! Goodbye Piccadilly! Farewell Leicester Square! It's a long, long way to Tipperary But my heart's right there!

C'est Noël Composer(s): Michel Rivard - Claude Meunier Performer(s): Michel Rivard
C'est Noël car il neige dans la tête Partout, partout les flocons sont réunis C'est Noël et pour pas que tu t'embêtes Voici pour toi ce joli rubis
À minuit nous irons à la messe d'minuit Pour prier Jésus notre seul n'ami Et après nous irons chez mon oncle René Qui paraît qui fait du maudit bon pâté
C'est Noël car il neige dans mon coeur Les flocons grondent de bonheur Les sapins entonnent les clameurs Car dans la crèche ronronne le sauveur
Et après pour digérer le réveillon Dans le boggey nous te blottirerons Comme le boeuf dans la crèche du divin poupon Je soufflerai à travers ton manchon
C'est Noël car il neige sur ma foi Oui je crois qu'il mourira en croix C'est Noël et j'espère qu'à minuit Oh ma chérie, je serai ton seul messie Oui ma chérie, je serai ton seul messie
