    Amore Mi Manchi
    (Adapted from: Honey - 1968)
    Composer(s): Bobby Russell; Daniele Pace
    Performer(s): Peppino Gagliardi - 1968
    Covered by: Bobby Solo - 1968

    2003 - Mijn Liefste Ik Mis Je



    Le rose già fiorivano
    L'inverno era pallido
    E se ne andò
    Quel giorno io mi ricordo che
    Volevo ancora bene a te
    Ma ti lasciai

    Dapprima non sapevi più
    Se vivere o morire
    Ma dopo un po
    Tornasti ancora a vivere
    Perchè nessuno è un angelo
    Come sei tu

    La nostra casa è piccola
    Ma la tenevi in ordine
    Solo per me
    Vivevi sola e triste ma
    Avevi una speranza
    Dentro di te

    E i mesi ormai passavano
    E diventavi pallida
    Sempre di più
    Finchè quel giorno limpido
    Trovasti una lettera
    Scritta da me

    Amore
    Mi manchi
    Ma non tornerò
    Amore
    Mi manchi
    Aspetta se vuoi

    Un giorno di dicembre ormai
    Ormai non mi pensavi più
    Quando tornai
    Ti vidi intorno all'albero
    E sorridesti subito
    Vedendo me

    Bastava una parola che
    Saresti ritornata
    In braccio a me
    Ma la mattina dopo
    Ti dissi questa cosa e poi
    Poi me ne andai

    Amore
    Mi manchi
    Ma io non tornerò
    Amore
    Mi manchi
    Non aspettarmi più

    Le rose già fiorivano
    L'inverno era pallido
    E se ne andò
    Le rondini mi han detto che
    In quella casa piccola
    Non ci sei più

    E sono io che non so più
    Se vivere o morire
    Senza di te
    Bastava una parola che
    Saresti ritornata
    In braccio a me

    E sono io che non so più
    Se vivere o morire
    Senza di te
    Le rose sono morte ormai
    Amore, amore mio
    Mi mancherai

    The Christmas Dance
    Composer(s): Richard Starkey;
    Mark Hudson; Jim Cox; Steve Dudas
    Performer(s): Ringo Starr



    Tonight's the Christmas dance in London town
    The lights are up, the snow is falling down
    Like ev'ry year, I catch your eye across the floor
    But too afraid to do much more

    At the Christmas dance
    That magic time of year when dreams come true
    Yeh, the Christmas dance
    The only dance I wanna dance is you
    The music's playing, hearts are swaying to the rhythm of romance
    At the Christmas dance

    I combed my hair and straightened out my tie
    This year I'm gonna ask you do or die
    And I'll need ev'ry ounce of courage I can find
    Feet don't fail me, love be kind

    At the Christmas dance
    That magic time of year when dreams come true
    The Christmas dance
    The only dance I wanna dance is you
    The music's playing, hearts are swaying to the rhythm of romance
    At the Christmas dance

    No more searching, love at last (No more searching, love at last)
    No more ghosts of Christmas past (No more ghosts of Christmas past)
    Under the mistletoe we kissed and danced so slow, Ho!

    And when our children ask of the meaning of romance

    At the Christmas dance
    That magic time of year when dreams come true
    At the Christmas dance
    The only dance I wanna dance is you
    The music's playing, hearts are swaying to the rhythm of romance
    At the Christmas dance

    (Oh, the Christmas dance)
    (Yeah, the Christmas dance)
    (Oh, the Christmas dance)
    (Yeah, the Christmas dance, yeah)

    Merry Christmas
    (Yeah, the Christmas dance, yeah)
    Merry Christmas, Yeah,
    Merry Christmas, Yes! Yeah! Yeah!

    At the Christmas dance

    Tous Les Arbres Sont En Fleurs
    (Adapted from: Honey - 1968)
    Composer(s): Bobby Russell; Michel Jourdan
    Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri - 1968

    Titles In Other Languages:
    1968 - Amore Mi Manchi
    1968 - Kære
    2003 - Mijn Liefste Ik Mis Je



    Tous les arbres sont en fleurs
    Et la forêt a ces couleurs
    Que tu aimais
    Les pommiers roses sur fond bleu
    Ont le parfum des jours heureux
    Rien n'a changé
    Un peu de neige est restée
    La neige que tu enlevais
    Je m'en souviens
    En m'éveillant je ne voyais
    Que le printemps qui grandissait
    Dans notre jardin
    Tu riais comme un enfant
    Tu ne faisais jamais semblant
    Lorsque tu riais
    Quand tes yeux clairs me regardaient
    Tu savais lire à travers moi
    Chaque pensée
    Tu étais si fort et pourtant
    Je te berçais comme un enfant
    Quand tu pleurais
    Je t'ai fait du mal bien des fois
    Pourtant toute ma vie c'est toi
    Que j'aimerai
    Pierrot je t'aime
    Je n'avais que toi
    Et tu n'es plus qu'une ombre
    Qui dort près de moi

    Lorsque je rentrais tard parfois
    Tu ne t'endormais pas sans moi
    Tu m'attendais
    Tu m'as parlé toute une nuit
    De ce que serait notre vie
    Si je voulais
    Un soir d'orage avant Noël
    Tu m'as dit qu'il faisait soleil
    Et j'y croyais
    Je me souviens tu me disais
    Qu'on ne se quitterait jamais
    Et j'y croyais
    Pierre je t'aime
    Je n'avais que toi
    Et tu n'es plus qu'une ombre
    Qui dort près de moi

    Pourquoi ces fleurs dans le jardin
    Cette nuit bleue illuminée
    Par les étoiles
    Je sens que le printemps revient
    Mais qu'il ne me sert plus à rien
    Qu'à me faire mal
    Malgré tout malgré le temps
    Je te revois rire et courir
    A travers champs
    Ce fût mon dernier vrai printemps
    Tu t'es endormi pour longtemps
    Pour trop longtemps
    Dans un autre monde très loin
    Y a parait-il un jardin
    Plus beau qu'ici
    Un grand théâtre où mon amour
    Joue et continue chaque jour
    D'aimer la vie......

    The Christmas Child
    Performer(s): Graham Kendrick



    All the bells are ringing
    For the Christmas Child
    In the streets the lights are glowing
    But there is no knowing
    Of the Christmas Child

    Oh, let this child be born in your heart
    Oh, let this child be born in your heart
    Tonight, tonight
    Tonight, tonight

    Will our wars go on forever
    And will peace be never
    At Christmastime?
    If we keep him in the manger
    Then there is no danger
    From the Christmas Child

    I hate to think about us all meetin' up togetHer
    ‘Cause as soon as I look at you it will show on my face, yeah
    Then they’ll know that we’ve been loving each otHer
    We can’t let ‘em know, no, no, no
    We can’t leave a trace

    I wait anxiously alone by the phone

    (Him)
    How could something so wrong be so right
    I wish we didn’t have to keep our love out of sight, yeah
    Livin' two lives just ain’t easy at all
    But we gotta hang on in tHere or fall

    (Both)
    Secret lovers, yeah, that’s what we are
    Tryin’ so hard to hide the way we feel

    But we can’t let go
    ‘Cause what we feel is, oh, so real
    So real, so real

    (Both)
    You and me, are we fair
    Is this cruel or do we care
    Can they tell what’s in our minds
    Maybe they’ve had secret loves all of the time

    In the middle of makin' love we notice the time
    We Both get nervous ‘cause it’s way after nine
    (Her)
    Even though we hate it, we know it’s time that we go
    We gotta be careful so that no one will know

    The Christmas Blues
    Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; David Holt
    Performer(s): Dean Martin



    The jingle bells are jingling
    The streets are white with snow
    The happy crowds are mingling
    But there's no one that I know

    I'm sure that you'll forgive me
    If I don't enthuse
    I guess I've got the Christmas blues

    I've done my window shopping
    There's not a store I've missed
    But what's the use of stopping
    When there's no one on your list
    You'll know the way I'm feeling
    When you love and you lose
    I guess I've got the Christmas blues

    When somebody wants you
    Somebody needs you
    Christmas is a joy of joy
    But friends when you're lonely
    You'll find that it's only
    A thing for little girls and little boys

    May all your days be merry
    Your seasons full of cheer
    But 'til it's January
    I'll just go and disappear
    Oh Santa may have brought you some stars for your shoes
    But Santa only brought me the blues
    Those brightly packaged tinsel covered Christmas blues

    Oh Santa may have brought you some stars for your shoes
    But Santa only brought me the blues
    Those brightly packaged tinsel covered Christmas blues

    Secret Corrida
    Composer(s): John Cale
    Performer(s): John Cale



    When I find you listening
    And I find you seaching
    And I find you thinking
    I'll be waiting

    When I'm lookin' for you
    You'll see the difference
    You're caught in a web
    Your deceit

    In the roar of the crowd
    Of the work of the picador
    Roar of the crowd
    From the work of the picador

    Blood on sawdust
    The door slam shut
    Beast of Eden
    You can't get enough

    I caught you laughing
    On the day you left
    This subtle difference
    That I could sense

    And the daylight comes
    And the streets lie empty
    In the roar of the crowds
    At the work of the picador

    And the daylight comes
    And the streets lie empty
    In the roar of the crowds
    At the work of the picador

    The train moves on
    Through the valley
    The whistle carries
    A long, long way

    To the beast of the mounting
    A long time ago
    We can still hear
    The whistle blow

    And the days light comes
    And the streets lie empty
    In the roar of the crowd
    Of the work of the picador

    And the daylight comes
    And the streets lie empty
    And the moon looks down
    On the work of the picador

    And the daylight comes
    And the streets lie empty
    At the roar of the crowd
    On the art of the picador

    And the daylight comes
    And the streets turn ugly
    And the moon smiles down
    On the art of the picador

    Secret Agent Man
    Composer(s): Phil Sloan; Steve Barri
    First release by: Johnny Rivers - 1966
    Covered by multiple other artists



    There's a man who lives a life of danger
    To everyone he meets, he stays a stranger
    With every move he makes
    Another chance he takes
    Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow

    Secret agent man, secret agent man
    They've given you a number
    And taken away your name

    Beware of pretty faces that you find
    A pretty face can hide an evil mind
    Don't let the wrong word slip
    While kissing persuasive lips
    Or odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

    Secret agent man, secret agent man
    They've given you a number
    And taken away your name

    Swinging on the Riviera one day
    Lying in a Bombay alley next day
    Be careful what you say
    Or you'll give yourself away
    Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

    Secret agent man, secret agent man
    They've given you a number
    And taken away your name

    The Chimney Song
    Composer(s): Dennis Amero; Bob Rivers; Brian Silva
    Performer(s): Bob Rivers



    There's something stuck up in the chimney
    And I don't know what it is
    But it's been there all night long
    Well, I waited up for Santa all Christmas night
    But he never came and it don't seem right
    And there's something in the chimney
    And it doesn't make a sound
    But I wish you Merry Christmas

    There's something stuck up in the chimney
    And I don't know what it is
    But it's been there all week long
    Well, the dog keeps barking up the chimney flue
    And we don't know what we're going to do
    'Cause there's something in the chimney
    And it doesn't move around
    And it's been a week since Christmas

    There's something stuck up in the chimney
    And I don't know what it is
    But it's been there all month long
    Well, it's jammed up tight above the fireplace
    Now the house smells funny, such a big disgrace
    That there's something in the chimney
    And it doesn't talk at all
    And it's been there since last Christmas

    There's something stuck up in the chimney
    And I don't know what it is
    But it's been there all year long
    I'll been waiting up for Santa like I did last year
    But my brother says, "He's already here"
    And he's stuck up in the chimney
    And he doesn't say a word
    And he'll be there every Christmas
    And we'll have him every Christmas

    Performer(s): Ted Lewis Jazz Band - 1921
    and multiple other artists



    Father has a business strictly second hand
    Everything from toothpicks to a baby-grand
    Stuff in our apartment came from father’s store
    Even clothes I’m wearing someone wore before
    It’s no wonder that I feel abused
    I never get a thing that ain’t been used
    I’m wearing second hand hats
    Second hand clothes
    That’s why they call me
    Second hand Rose
    Even our piano in the parlor
    Daddy bought for ten cents on the dollar
    Second hand pearls
    I’m wearing second hand curls
    I never get a single thing that’s new
    Even Jake, the plumber, he’s a man I adore
    He had the nerve to tell me he’s been married before!
    Everyone knows that I’m just
    Second hand Rose
    From second Avenue!
    From Second Avenue!

    The Carol Singers
    Composer(s): Sir William Sterndale Bennett; Charles Haynes



    In our village, Christmas time, I says to several mates
    "Look 'ere, lads," I says, "Now what about some Waits?"
    We gets a carol, lairns it up, and on an evenin' wintry
    We muffles up and sallies forth to try it on the Gentry
    "Good King Wenceslas looked out," sings we with splendid power
    Several neighbours looked out too, to see what all the row were!
    We sings forte (sounded like a hundred)
    Even in the soft bits 'ow we thundered
    Bill, our bass, 'e 'urt 'is face , we thought that it was torn
    Yet all agreed there were none like we to 'ail the 'appy morn

    Perkins took the treble line (a lovely voice 'e's got)
    I were tenor, Bill were bass, and Fred sang all the lot!
    'E wandered up and down the scale, but still 'e rather marred it
    All cos 'e never knew the words, and so 'e "lah-lah-lahed" it
    "Lah-lah-lah-lah looked out" sings 'e with splendid power
    Several neighbours looked out, too, to see what all the row were!
    We sings forte (sounded like an 'undred)
    Even in the soft bits 'ow we thundered
    Every verse got worse and worse, and though we all felt worn
    Yet all agreed there were none like we to 'ail the 'appy morn

    Still we never got no cash, which didn't seem quite just
    Seein' we'd stood there for hours, a-singin' fit to bust
    Then our policeman, old Bob Bates, comes down, a-scowlin' proper
    "Good old Bob", young Perkins cries, "At last we've got a copper!"
    Good King Wenceslas looked out, we still kept on recordin'
    Bob said "yes, you'll come too, it's seldom I've heard more din"
    Then a change came o'er the situation
    Bob got nasty and took us to the station
    "Look 'ere, Bates, we're Christmas Waits," I says to him with scorn
    He said, with a sneer, "Now wait in here and greet the 'appy morn"

    Second Hand Dealer
    Composer(s): Frank Allen; Mike Pender
    Performer(s): The Searchers



    A painted jug without a handle
    A torn and shabby faded rug
    He's a secondhand dealer
    Getting deeper into debt
    He's a secondhand dealer
    And he wants what he can get for nothing

    His body's broken like that handle
    His clothes are shabby like that rug
    He's a secondhand dealer
    Dragging rubbish up a stair
    He's a secondhand dealer
    Breathing heavy 'cause the air costs nothing

    Trips on a ?????
    Knocks a cuckoo clock onto the floor
    Leans on a table
    Which collapses and falls right into the door of a cupboard

    Secondhand dealer with his eyes so dim that it could be night
    Secondhand dealer, it's a pity for he's not a pretty sight
    A man in such a poor condition
    Can't have so very long to go
    For the secondhand dealer life is quickly rushing by
    And the secondhand dealer will be glad 'cause he can die for nothing

    Gets out a bottle
    He's a heavy whiskey-drinkin' man
    Walkin' in circles, doesn't see the stairs
    He falls and breaks his neck, he's a goner

    Secondhand dealer with his eyes so dim that it could be night
    Secondhand dealer, it's a pity for he's not a pretty sight

    Will anybody mourn his passing
    Will they pull down the dirty shop
    Of the secondhand dealer, can we say that someone cried?
    For the secondhand dealer, he was born and then died for nothing
    For nothing, secondhand dealer

    The Borning Day
    Composer(s): Fred Hellerman; Fran Minkoff
    Performer(s): The Brothers Four



    Mary and the baby hungry
    Yes, we know what hungry be
    So we bring them peas and rice
    And a little ginger tea
    Only pigeon peas and rice
    A little ginger tea
    Mary thank us with her eyes
    She poor the same as we
    She poor the same as we

    Mary and the baby lonely
    Lonely is not good to be
    So we sit awhile and chat awhile
    To keep them company
    Stay awhile makes the baby smile
    Pass the time of day
    When we see how pleased they be
    It make us glad we stay
    So glad that we could stay

    Mary and the baby weary
    Oh, we know what weary be
    So we make a bed and pillow for their head
    With down from the muhow tree
    Only down from the muhow tree
    To rest them soft and good
    We feel bad this was all we had
    We do the best we could
    We do the best we could

    Mary and the baby rest easy
    We go away and let them be
    On hush tip toe and voice kept low
    We look up and see
    Stars of hope shine in the sky
    To mark the baby's birth
    Seemed to say it's borning day
    Of better times on earth
    Of better times on earth

    Second Week Of Deer Camp
    Composer(s): Jim DeCaire; Joe Potila
    Performer(s): Da Yoopers; The Deer Hunters; Brian Doherty



    Someone: Hey, there goes one!
    Someone Else: Hey! You shot my cow!

    It's the second week of deer camp
    I got a swollen head
    I'm lying with the dustballs
    Underneath my bed
    An icy breeze is blowing in
    Through the tongue and groove
    My pants are frozen to the floor
    And I'm too sick to move

    I didn't do too many
    Only 30 cans of beer
    It must have been that last shot
    That put me under here

    It's the second week of deer camp
    And all the guys are here
    We drink, play cards and shoot da bull
    But never shoot no deer
    The only time we leave the camp
    Is when we go for beer
    The second week of deer camp
    Is the greatest time of year

    I remember playing poker
    That weasel must have won
    He's wearing my new swampers
    And sleeping with my gun
    He's snoring like a chainsaw
    The camp smells like a dump
    Someone's dirty underwear
    Is hanging on the pump

    Mukku's in the woodbox
    Eener's passed out on the stove
    His flannel shirt is smoking
    I wonder if he knows?

    It's the second week of deer camp
    And all the guys are here
    We drink, play cards and shoot da bull
    But never shoot no deer
    The only time we leave the camp
    Is when we go for beer
    The second week of deer camp
    Is the greatest time of year

    Vito's crawling through the door
    I think he got frostbite
    He passed out in the outhouse
    And he's been there since last night
    Goofus stumbles through the door
    He says he got a buck
    He was coming from the wayside
    And he killed it with his truck!

    And Musti cracks a beer and says
    "It's time to celebrate!
    Goofus got the first buck
    Since 1968!"

    It's the second week of deer camp
    And all the guys are here
    We drink, play cards and shoot da bull
    But never shoot no deer
    The only time we leave the camp
    Is when we go for beer
    The second week of deer camp
    Is the greatest time of year

    It's the second week of deer camp
    And all the guys are here
    We drink, play cards and shoot da bull
    But never shoot no deer...

    Shipbuilding
    Composer(s): Clive Langer; Elvis Costello
    First release by: Robert Wyatt - 1982
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Is it worth it
    A new winter coat and shoes for the wife
    And a bicycle on the boy's birthday
    It's just a rumour that was spread around town
    By the women and children
    Soon we'll be shipbuilding
    Well I ask you
    The boy said 'Dad They're Going To Take Me To Task
    But I'll Be Back By Christmas'
    It's just a rumour that was spread around town
    Somebody said that someone got filled in
    For saying that people get killed in
    The result of this shipbuilding
    With all the will in the world
    Diving for dear life
    When we could be diving for pearls
    It's just a rumour that was spread around town
    A telegram or a picture postcard
    Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
    And notifying the next of kin
    Once again
    It's all we're skilled in
    We will be shipbuilding
    With All The Will In The World
    Diving For Dear Life
    When We Could Be Diving For Pearls

    Second Handed Flowers
    Composer(s): Tom T. Hall
    Performer(s): Tom T. Hall; George Jones; James King



    I was working in Miami for a day or two
    I decided I'd look up a girl that I once knew
    I bought some flowers and went to see the girl I used to know
    The lady at her door said she had married long ago

    Times will change and towns will change, but there I was alone
    And suddenly I wondered would Susie be at home
    So with the flowers in my hand I walked toward her gate
    Someone touched me on the arm and said, "You'll have to wait"

    Then I noticed there were people standing in a line
    And some of them were holdin' pretty flowers just like mine
    They explained that Susie had been in an awful crash
    Doctors said that she had just a little while to last

    When I walked into her room I felt a sense of shame
    When I heard Susie whisper, "I'm awfully glad you came"
    She had been the girl that I had always gone to see
    When someone that I cared for had been untrue to me

    I handed her the flowers and she gently kissed my hand
    She said, "Don't be embarassed, you know I understand"
    I said goodbye and as I bent to kiss her fevered brow
    I heard her whisper, "Thank you for the second handed flowers"

From the manger bed what a path has led What a perfect holy way Alleluia, O how the angels sang! Alleluia, how it rang! And the sky was bright with a Holy light 'Twas the birthday of a King
