Car Hop Song (Burger On A Bun) Composer(s): William Hanna - Joseph Barbera
Here we come on the run With a burger on a bun And a dab of coleslaw on the side Oh your taste we will tickle With a great dill pickle And all of our potatoes are french fried, fried, fried Our burgers can't be beat 'Cause we grind our own meat Grind, grind, grind, grind, grind
When you drive away You'll really hear us say We bid you bye, bye, bye, bye, bye We bid you bye, bye, bye, bye, bye!
And as your on your way A tip upon our tray We hope to find, find, find, find, find We hope to find, find, find, find, find
Reprise by Wilma and Betty
Here we come on the run With a burger on a bun And a dab of coleslaw on the side Oh your taste we will tickle With a cold dill pickle And all of our potatoes are french fried fried fried Our burgers can't be beat Because we grind our own meat grind grind grind grind grind

E Tu Come Stai Composer(s): Claudio Baglioni
Performer(s): Claudio Baglioni
Ho girato e rigirato senza sapere dove andare
Ed ho cenato a prezzo fisso seduto accanto ad un dolore
Tu come stai? Tu come stai? Tu come stai?
E mi fanno compagnia quaranta amiche... le mie carte
Anche il mio cane si fa forte e abbaia alla malinconia
Tu come stai? Tu come stai? Tu come stai?
Tu come vivi, come ti trovi
Chi viene a prenderti chi ti apre lo sportello
Chi segue ogni tuo passo chi ti telefona
E ti domanda adesso... Tu come stai? Tu come stai?
Tu come stai? Tu come stai?
Ieri ho ritrovato le tue iniziali nel mio cuore
Non ho più voglia di pensare e sono sempre più sbadato
Tu come stai? Tu come stai? Tu come stai?
Tu cosa pensi come cammini
Chi ti ha portato via chi scopre le tue spalle
Chi si stende al tuo fianco chi grida il nome tuo
Chi ti accarezza stanco...
Tu come stai? Tu come stai? Tu come stai?
Tu come stai? Non è cambiato niente no
Il vento non è mai passato tra di noi, tu come stai?
Non è accaduto niente no,
Il tempo non ci ha mai perduto
Come stai? Tu come stai?...
The Colour Of Love Composer(s): Barry J. Eastmond - Billy Ocean - Jolyon Skinner - Wayne Brathwaite Performer(s): Billy Ocean
Ooh ooh ooh
If I had to paint a pictures To show the world how love can really be I would use the brightest colours To create a vision of harmony It would be a reality 'Cause its only what's inside of my heart You would see I've always loved you right from the very start
Tell me what is the colour of love? What do you see? Is it warm is it tender when you thing of me I see the colour of love when I'm thinking of you As a picture perfect painting of love forever true
The colours of the rainbow turn grey whenever you're so far away It changes like the seasons You're the reason it happens that way What you see are colours of emotion Reflecting what I feel deep inside Now I'd like to take a look at emotions that you hide
Tell me what is the colour of love? What do you see? Is it warm is it tender when you thing of me I see the colour of love when I'm thinking of you As a picture perfect painting of love forever true
And oh though many may try to keep us apart Oh the colours that I see in you will shine a light to see us through No matter what the world will do I'll always love you Ooh ooh ooh
Oh what is the colour of love oh tell me tell me Oh I wanna know I wanna know - when I'm thinking of you As a picture perfect paining of love forever true
Car Cette Chanson-Là
Composer(s): Yanni Spanos - Pierre Louki
Performer(s): Esther Ofarim; Jean-Claude Pascal
Le soir quand tout se tait par delà ma fenêtre il est une chanson qui s'éveille à cent tours Il est une chanson qui malgré moi pénètre car cette chanson-là racontait mes amours
Je ne sais plus très bien comment elle commence je sais qu'on y parlait de roses et de lilas C'était un peu idiot, c'était un peu romance Souvent tu répétais tralalala lala
J'entends ta voix encore qui me poursuit sans cesse Ta bouche s'est enfuie, mais l'heure est toujours là Qu'importe sa valeur, qu'importent ses faiblesses? Car cette chanson-là, tu la chantais pour moi
Alors, si par hasard tu passes dans la rue dis-toi que ta chanson dort chez moi chaque nuit Tous les matins partis, tous les soirs revenus tu peux les retrouver si le cur te le dit
Tu peux les retrouver, mes larmes, mes sourires Je sais qu'elle parlait de roses et de lilas Mais toi, qui chantais mal, toi seul pourrais me dire ce qu'il y avait après tralalala lala
E Tu Composer(s): Claudio Baglioni / Antonio Coggio)
Performer(s): Claudio Baglioni; Michéal Castaldo; Marco Carta
Accoccolati ad ascoltare il mare
Qanto tempo siamo stati
Senza fiatare...
Seguire il tuo profilo con un dito
Mentre il vento accarezzava piano
Il tuo vestito...
E tu
Fatta di sguardi tu
E di sorrisi ingenui tu
Ed io
A piedi nudi io
Sfioravo i tuoi capelli io
E fermarci a giocare
Con una formica
E poi chiudere gli occhi
Non pensare più
Senti freddo anche tu
Senti freddo anche tu
E nascoste nell'ombra della sera poche stelle
Ed un brivido improvviso
Sulla tua pelle...
Poi correre felici a perdifiato
Fare a gara per vedere
Chi resta indietro...
E tu
In un sospiro tu
In ogni mio pensiero tu
Ed io
Restavo zitto io
Per non sciupare tutto io
E baciarti le labbra
Con un filo d'erba
E scoprirti più bella
Coi capelli in su
E mi piaci di più
E mi piaci di più
Forse sei l'amore
E adesso non ci sei che tu
Soltanto tu e sempre tu
Che stai scoppiando dentro il cuore mio
Ed io che cosa mai farei
Se adesso non ci fossi tu
Ad inventare questo amore...
E per gioco noi siam caduti coi vestiti in mare
Ed un bacio e un altro e un altro ancora
Da non poterti dire
Che tu
Pallida e dolce tu
Eri già tutto quanto tu
Ed io
Non ci credevo io
E ti tenevo stretta io
Coi vestiti inzuppati
Stare li a scherzare
Poi fermarci stupiti
"Io vorrei... cioè..."
Ho bisogno di te
Ho bisogno di te
Dammi un po' d'amore
E adesso non ci sei che tu
Soltanto tu e sempre tu
Che stai scoppiando dentro il cuore mio
Ed io che cosa mai farei
Se adesso non ci fossi tu
Ad inventare questo amore...

E Tu Strafai ((French Version: Tu Exagères (Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Calabrese - Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
E tu strafai e in verità Esattamente mai nessuno saprà Se è un brutto vizio Oppure una qualità Fra l'uno e l'altra si confonde Cosa vuoi mai, tu vieni e vai E ti affatichi sempre più che tu puoi Io sono un figlio e non un uomo per te La tirannia infondi su di me E tu strafai ancor di più Per i pranzetti che mi elabori tu E ti commuovi se per te mando giù Pantagrueliche portate Se dico no per sobrità Diventi triste, io non insisterò Sapendo che ne piangeresti sennò Mangio da capo finché mi strozzerò E tu strafai, non c'è perché Nel lucidare tutti i giorni i parquets Tenendo pronte le pattine per me Che mi fan perder l'eqiilibrio A spolverar, a lucidar Ti dai da far. Se non so dove star E vado a letto per lasciarti sfogar Togli i cuscini che sono da cambiar E tu strafai, che assurdità Se solo un colpo o due di tosse darò A letto zitto e buono mi troverò Con le ventose sulla schiena Come un buldog sorvegli me Con il termometro a portata di te E che lo voglia o no mi fai buttar giù Quella schifezza che hai preparto tu E tu strafai, tu strafai E io non vedo quando la smetterai Perché è per questo che ti amo Le tue virtù, la tua allegria E la freschezza che nascondi per me Non danno un attimo di noia con te E se tu esageri, e se tu esageri È anche vero che piaci a me
Cold Hard Facts Of Life Composer(s): Bill Anderson Performer(s): Porter Wagoner; Ferlin Husky; Stonewall Jackson
I got back in town a day before I'd planned to I smiled and said I'll sure surprise my wife I don't think I'll phone I'll just head on home For I didn't know the cold hard facts of life I passed a little winestore on the corner I pictured big champagne by candle light I stopped the car right then got out and hurried in My mind not on the cold hard facts of life A stranger stood there laughing by the counter He said I'll take two bottles of your best Her husband's out of town and there's a party He winkled as if to say you know the rest I left the store two steps behind the stranger From there to my house his car stayed in sight But it wasn't till he turned into my drive that I learned I was witnessing the cold hard facts of life I drove around the block till I was dizzy each time the noise came louder from within And then I saw our bottle there beside me And I drank a fifth of courage and walked in Lord you should've seen their frantic faces They screamed and cried please put away that knife I guess I'll go to hell or I'll rot here in the cell But who taught who the cold hard facts of life Who taught who the cold hard facts of life

É o barro, o berro na garganta Olha a ginga da santa Devagar com o andor Meu corpo já não sabe o que faz, Satanás Diz pra parar, que eu já não posso mais Diz pra parar, faz um pouco mais Faz o Diabo Hoje é que eu me acabo, meu irmão É para pular, não, para parar, para bulinar Não, para parar, para arrebentar Frevo diabo Hoje é que eu me acabo, meu irmão
E Ti Vengo A Cercare Composer(s): Franco Battiato
First release by: Franco Battiato - 1988
Covered by multiple other artists
E ti vengo a cercare Anche solo per vederti o parlare Perché ho bisogno della tua presenza Per capire meglio la mia essenza. Questo sentimento popolare Nasce da meccaniche divine Un rapimento mistico e sensuale Mi imprigiona a te Dovrei cambiare l'oggetto dei miei desideri Non accontentarmi di piccole gioie quotidiane Fare come un eremita Che rinuncia a sé E ti vengo a cercare Con la scusa di doverti parlare Perché mi piace ciò che pensi e che dici Perché in te vedo le mie radici. Questo secolo oramai alla fine Saturo di parassiti senza dignità Mi spinge solo ad essere migliore Con più volontà Emanciparmi dall'incubo delle passioni Cercare l'Uno al di sopra del Bene e del Male Essere un'immagine divina Di questa realtà E ti vengo a cercare Perché sto bene con te Perché ho bisogno della tua presenza
The Cold Cold Coast Of Greenland Performer(s): Roger McGuinn
Farewell and adieu love I'm bound for to sail To the cold coast of Greenland To capture the whale And there'll be no temptation To tarry there long For the wind and the snow love Will sing us their song
It's a hard sea to travel Through the storm and the gale And there's no compensation But to hunt for the whale With our oilskins and slickers And our boots to the knee We will roll and we'll pitch Through the cold Greenland sea
Oh the prize that we seek love Is as bold and as fine As the fastest of steeds Or the finest of wine He could easily send us With the power of his tail To a watery grave Ah the great Greenland whale
Farewell and adieu love I'm bound for to sail To the cold coast of Greenland To capture the whale And there'll be no temptation To tarry there long For the wind and the snow love Will sing us their song

Where did he go The man who said, I have a dream Where have they gone The four who sang, to let it be
Jackie's alone She lost him one November day L.A. motel One sad mistake took Sam away
Oh remember then, remember when Captured by the moment In the magic of a yesterday Captured by the moment And I hope it never fades away
Sweet Janis cried Lord won't you buy a Benz for me Jimmy was right Castles made of sand slip to the sea
Oh remember then, remember when Captured by the moment In the magic of a yesterday Captured by the moment And I hope it never fades away Captured by the moment Oh in the magic of a yesterday
Otis replied A little tenderness we got to try One open door He tried to set the night on fire
Captured by the moment In the magic of a yesterday Captured by the moment And I hope it never fades away Captured by the moment Oh in the magic of a yesterday

The Coffee Song Composer(s): Tony Colton - Ray Smith Performer(s): Cream
There's a full time reservation Made in a bar at the railway station And there's a story, a kind of fable On a card at the corner table
On it is a message, been there some time It starts off: "The coffee tasted so fine"
It says: "One day, this may find you These few words may just remind you We sat here together just to pass time You said how the coffee tasted so fine"
It goes on to say: "I love you If you should find this I must hear from you" It gives a number but the name has faded away All that is left are just the words: "Maybe someday"
That's the story and the fable Never leave alone from a corner table
