Sidewalks Of New York (Traditional) Performer(s): Mel Tormé
East Side, West Side, all around the town The kids sang "ring around rosie", "London Bridge is falling down" Boys and girls together, me and Mamie O'Rourke We tripped the light fantastic on the sidewalks of New York
East Side, West Side, all around the town Sweet Mamie grew up and bough herself a sweet little Alice-blue gown All the fellas dug her, you should have heard them squark When I escorted Mamie round the sidewalks of New York
East Side, West Side, riding through the parks We started swinging at Jilly's then we split to P.J.Clark's On to Chuck's Composite, then a drink at The Stork We won't get home until morning 'cause we're going to take a walk On the sidewalks of New York
O meu pai era paulista Meu avô, pernambucano O meu bisavô, mineiro Meu tataravô, baiano Meu maestro soberano Foi Antônio Brasileiro
Foi Antônio Brasileiro Quem soprou esta toada Que cobri de redondilhas Pra seguir minha jornada E com a vista enevoada Ver o inferno e maravilhas
Nessas tortuosas trilhas A viola me redime Creia, ilustre cavalheiro Contra fel, moléstia, crime Use Dorival Caymmi Vá de Jackson do Pandeiro
Vi cidades, vi dinheiro Bandoleiros, vi hospícios Moças feito passarinho Avoando de edifícios Fume Ari, cheire Vinícius Beba Nelson Cavaquinho
Para um coração mesquinho Contra a solidão agreste Luiz Gonzaga é tiro certo Pixinguinha é inconteste Tome Noel, Cartola, Orestes Caetano e João Gilberto
Viva Erasmo, Ben, Roberto Gil e Hermeto, palmas para Todos os instrumentistas Salve Edu, Bituca, Nara Gal, Bethania, Rita, Clara Evoé, jovens a vista
O meu pai era paulista Meu avô pernambucano O meu bisavô, mineiro Meu tataravô baiano Vou na estrada há muitos anos Sou um artista brasileiro
Paranoid Composer(s): Mark Farner Performer(s): Grand Funk Railroad
Did you ever have that feeling in your life that someone was watching you? He don't have no reason, that's right But, still he's there watching you Someone is waiting just outside the door, to take you away Everybody knows just what he's there for, to take you away
But, you don't know why he's been waiting
But, you don't know why he's been waiting Spent too much time anticipating Spent too much time anticipating
Did you ever think it could be you, that's just outside the door?
There's just one way to find out if it's true So, what you waiting for? Oh, get yourself together now, my friend, and step outside the pad If there's no one waiting for you there, my friend, I think you should be glad
But, who wasn't there that you should look out for?
But, who wasn't there that you should look out for? Get back inside your wall, and shut the door Get back inside your wall, and shut the door
You don't have nobody, don't need nobody, can't love nobody
You're better off by yourself You ain't feelin' too bad, you're driving me mad, and say you're bad You're better off by yourself
You don't have nobody, don't need nobody, can't love nobody
You're better off by yourself You ain't feelin' too bad, you're driving me mad, and say you're bad You're better off by yourself

Performer(s): Jan & Dean - 1964
and multiple other artists
Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me ...
Don't be afraid to try the newest sport around
(Bust your buns, bust your buns now)
It's catchin' on in every city and town
You can do the tricks the surfers do, just try a
"Quasimodo" or "The Coffin" too (why don't you)
Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me ...
You'll probably wipeout when you first try to shoot the curve
(Bust your buns, bust your buns now)
Takin' gas in a bush takes a lotta nerve ...
Those hopscotch poledads and pedestrians, too, will bug ya ...
Shout "Cuyabunga!" now and skate right on through (why don't you)
Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me ...
You can do the tricks the surfers do, just try a
"Quasimodo" or "The Coffin" too (why don't you)
Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me ...
So get your girl and take her tandem down the street
(Bust your buns, bust your buns now)
Then she'll know you're an asphalt athlete
A downhill grade, man, will give you a kick
But if the sidewalk's cracked, ya better pull out quick (why don't you)
Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me ...
(Skateboard with me, why don't you skateboard me?)
Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me ...
(Skateboard with me, why don't you skateboard me?)
Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me ...
(Skateboard with me, why don't you skateboard me?)
Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me ...
(Skateboard with me, why don't you skateboard me?)
Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me ...

I got the blues and I sure have got 'em bad Meanest old blues that I ever, ever had My mind is weary, and ev'rything is wrong Ev'ry day seems just nine years long That's just why I sing and cry this mournful song
When I arise in the morning for the day Heartbreakin' blues say good morning right away They haunt me just like a shadow haunts a tree Even taste 'em in my coffee That's just why I sing and cry this mournful song
My baby's gone, and I got the blues It sure is awful to be lonsesome like me Worried, weary up in a tree That's why you can hear me say, night and day
"Where can my baby be?" I roam the streets ev'ry where, look here and there Wond'ring why she gave me the air Good Lawd, I've got the sidewalk blues
My baby's gone, and I got the blues She went away on the sly, didn't say why Never even kissed me goodbye That's why you can hear me say, night and day
"Who took my woman away?" I roam the streets like a tramp, feet in a cramp Searching for my two timin' vamp Good Lawd, I've got the sidewalk blues
My baby's gone, and I got the blues She flew away like a crow, why, I don't know Vanished like a migratin' bo' That's why you can hear me say, night and day
"What will become of me?" If I could find an old boat, one that would float I'd baptize my blues makin' goat Good Lawd, I've got the sidewalk blues
Paralyzed Composer(s): Otis Blackwell; Elvis Presley Performer(s): Elvis Presley
When you looked into my eyes I stood there like I was hyp-notised You sent a feeling to my spine A feeling warm and smooth and fine But all I could do were stand there paralyzed When we kissed, ooh what a thrill You took my hand and, ooh baby, what a chill I felt like grabbin' you real tight Squeeze and squeeze with all my might But all I could do were stand there paralyzed
Oh yeah lucky me, Im singing ev'ry day Ever since that day you came my way You made my life for me just one big happy game I'm gay ev'ry morning At night Im still the same Do you remember that wonderful time You held my hand and swore that you'll be mine In front of preacher you said "I do" I couldn't say a word for thinking of you All I could do was stand there paralyzed
Ma Petite Chatte Composer(s): André Dohet First performance by: Fud Leclerc - 1958
J'étais dans un jour de cafard ça peut vous arriver demain J'allais dans les rues au hasard Sans but et ne pensant à rien
Quand je l'aperçus, elle s'avançait vers moi C'est à n'pas y croire mais voilà.. Elle avait tous les atouts dans son jeu Et du chic jusqu'au bout des doigts Des arguments en veux-tu, en voila Qui m'mettaient dans tous mes états Elle avait un drôle de p'tit air De ne pas en avoir l'air Elle me souriait sûre de son p'tit effet Je ne croyais pas qu'il pouvait y avoir Sur la terre des joujoux comme ça C'était in rêve de voir cette petite chatte-la Pas plus haute que ça, avec des yeux frippons Comme on te dit dans les chansons Et tout ce qu'il faut pour plaire aux garçons
Et ce fut un roman d'amour Une histoire qui finit bien Et comme cela se fait boujours Je l'ai épousée un beau matin
Et le soir venu, je n'ose pas y penser C'est à n'pas y croire, mais sachez....
Qu'elle avait tous les atouts dans son jeu Et du chic jusqu'au bout des doigts En moins de temps qu'il ne faut pour le dire Elle me mit dans tous mes états Elle avait un drôle de p'tit air De ne pas en avoir l'air Elle me souriait sûre de son p'tit effet Je ne croyais pas qu'il pouvait y avoir Sur la terre des joujoux comme ça C'était un rêve de voir cette petite chatte-là Blottie dans mes bras aves des yeux fripons Comme on le dit dans les chansons Et tout ce qu'il faut pour plaire aux garçons Et tout ce qui peut vous faire perdre la raison Et tout ce qu'on n'peut pas dire en chansons
Tu cabeza está llena de bicicletas blancas tu corazón un tren desbocado y oscuro Por tus venas galopan caballos alarmados. Amas el sol y el riesgo, el fuego y el futuro
Islas hay en el tiempo donde vivir querrías y pueblos donde son las tareas comunes En la escuela se aprende a manejar cometas y a vivir que es lo mismo lo mío que lo tuyo
Y sales a la calle y la ciudad te niega y dos y dos son cuatro y mañana hace frío y hay una chimenea debajo de tu cama y alguien dictando normas dentro de tu bolsillo
Y en la pared escribes tu granada de sueños tu estallido de nuevos horizontes auroras Y tu imaginación contra la gris costumbre pide la vida es nuestra, paraíso ahora
Sideshow Composer(s): Vinnie Barrett; M. Brooks; Alice Cooper; Bobby Eli; J. Norwood; B. Smith; J. Taylor; Dan Wexler Performer(s): Blue Magic
Hurry, hurry, step right up See the sideshow in town for only fifty cents
Step right up, hurry, hurry before the show begins, my friends Stand in line, get your tickets, I hope you will attend It'll only cost you fifty cents to see What life has done to those like you and me
See the man with the broken heart You'll see that he is sad He hurts so bad See the girl who has lost the only love she ever had There's got to be no sadder show to see No doubt about it Satisfaction's guaranteed
So let the sideshow begin Hurry, hurry, step right on in Can't afford to pass it by Guaranteed to make you cry
Let the sideshow begin Hurry, hurry Hurry, hurry Step right on in Can't afford to pass it by Guaranteed to make you cry
See the man who's been cryin' for a million years So many tears So many tears See the girl who's collected broken hearts for souvenirs It's more exciting than a one man band The saddest little show in all the land
So let the sideshow begin Hurry, hurry Hurry, hurry, step right on in Can't afford to pass it by Guaranteed to make you cry
Let the sideshow begin Hurry, hurry, step right on in Can't afford to pass it by Guaranteed to make you cry
So let the sideshow begin Hurry, hurry Hurry, hurry, step right on in Can't afford to pass it by Guaranteed to make you cry
Let the sideshow begin Step right on in Hurry, hurry, step right on in Can't afford to pass it by Guaranteed to make you cry Hurry, hurry

Jeg Rev Et Blad Ud Af Min Dagbog First performance by: Raquel Rastenni - 1958
Dengang du gik i vrede, så fortrød jeg Fejlen var min - fornuften, tja... den snød mig Det, vi havde sammen, var smukt og stort Ved du, hvad jeg nu i dag har gjort?
Jeg rev et blad ud af min dagbog Hvert lille ord har jeg fortrudt, du kære Hvad nytter det, at jeg er bagklog Hvis du syn's, alt skal være slut?
Prøv på at tilgi' mig, om også det er svært Så vil jeg love dig, det aldrig hænder mere
Jeg rev et blad ud af min dagbog Gør du li'sådan, min ven
Hader du mig, forsåvidt er der grund nok Min jalousi, der var jeg mer end ond nok Prøv dog på at tilgi', at jeg var slem Og hvis du er stor nok, ja så glem
Jeg rev et blad ud af min dagbog Hvert lille ord har jeg fortrudt, du kære Hvad nytter det, at jeg er bagklog Hvis du syn's, alt skal være slut?
Prøv på at tilgi' mig, om også det er svært Så vil jeg love dig, det aldrig hænder mere
Jeg rev et blad ud af min dagbog Gør du li'sådan, min ven Gør du li'sådan, min ven

Side By Side Composer(s): Harry MacGregor Woods Performer(s): Nick Lucas and multiple other artists
See that sun in the morning Peeking over the hill? I'll bet you're sure it always has and sure it always will That's how I feel about someone How somebody feels about me We're sure we love each other That's the way we'll always be
Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money Maybe we're ragged and funny But we'll travel along Singing a song Side by side
Don't know what's comin' tomorrow Maybe it's trouble and sorrow But we'll travel the road Sharing our load Side by side
Through all kinds of weather What if the sky should fall? Just as long as we're together It doesn't matter at all When they've all had their quarrels and parted
We'll be the same as we started Just a-traveling along Singing a song Side by side
We're all hunting for something Something we don't know what 'Cause none of us are satisfied with things we know we've got We all forget about moonlight As soon as we've given our vow But we'd all be so happy if we'd start and sing right now
Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money Maybe we're ragged and funny But we'll travel along Singing a song Side by side
Don't know what's comin' tomorrow Maybe it's trouble and sorrow But we'll travel the road Sharing our load Side by side
Paradise By The Dashboard Light Composer(s): Jim Steinman Performer(s): Meat Loaf
I. Paradise
Boy: I remember every little thing As if it happened only yesterday Parking by the lake And there was not another car in sight And I never had a girl Looking any better than you did And all the kids at school They were wishing they were me that night
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight It never felt so good, it never felt so right And we're glowing the the metal on the edge of a knife Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife C'mon! Hold on tight! C'mon! Hold on tight! Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Girl: Ain't no doubt about it We were doubly blessed Cause we were barely seventeen And we were barely dressed
Ain't no doubt about it Baby got to go and shout it Ain't no doubt about it We were doubly blessed
Boy: 'Cause we were barely seventeen And we were barely dressed
Baby doncha hear my heart You got it drowning out the radio I've been wating so long For you to come along and have some fun
And I gotta let ya know No you're never gonna regret it So open up your eyes I got a big surprise It'll feel all right Well I wanna make your motor run
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight It never felt so good, it never felt so right And we're glowing the the metal on the edge of a knife Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife C'mon! Hold on tight! C'mon! Hold on tight!
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night I can see paradise by the dashboard light Paradise by the dashboard light
You got to do what you can And let Mother Naure do the rest Ain't no doubt about it We were doubly blessed Cause we were barely seventeen and we were barely
we're gonna go all the way tongiht we're gonna go all the way and tonight the night....
Radio Broadcast: Ok here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth there's the wind-up, and there it is, a line shot up the middle, look at him go This boy can really fly! He's rounding first and really turning it on now, he's not letting up at all he's gonna try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center and here comes the throw, and what a throw! He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out! No, wait, safe - safe at second base, this kid really makes things happen out there Batter steps up to the plate here's the pitch - he's going, and what a jump he's got he's trying for third, here's the throw, its in the dirt - safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base! He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost daring him to try and pick him off The pitcher glances over, winds up, and it bunted, bunted down the third base line the suicide squeeze is on! Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close, here's the throw here's the play at the plate, holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!

III. Praying for the End of Time
Boy: I couldn't take it any longer Lord I was crazed And when the feeling came upon me Like a tidal wave I started swearing to my God and on my mother's grave That I would love you to the end of time I swore that I would love you to the end of time!
So now I'm praying for the end of time To hurry up and arrive Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you I don't think that I can really survive I'll never break my promise or forget my vow But God only knows what I can do right now I'm praying for the end of time It's all that I can do Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!!!
Boy: It was long ago and it was far away And it was so much better than it is today
Girl: It never felt so good It never felt so right And we were glowing like A metal on the edge of a knife

Paradise Composer(s): Perry Botkin Jr.; Gil Garfield; Harry Nilsson; Phil Spector Performer(s): The Ronettes; and various other artists
There is a land I know where lovers go and flowers grow forevermore Where time is standing still and lovers fill The quiet places by the shore We will cross the rainbow To a place where we'll be free Where he'll give his love to me So I'll wait for the day when he takes me away to...
Chorus: (Paradise) He'll take me by the hand to (Paradise) We'll walk along the sand in (Paradise) A never never land (Paradise) Wo wo wo
We'll build a castle there so we can share The happiness we've waited for While white flamingos fly way up high Way above the ocean's roar We will climb a mountain To see our wonderland Maybe now you'll understand Why I've waited for the day when he takes me away to...
(chorus)
(Stand by him) I'll stand by him (Do right by him) Do right by him and I swear that I would die for him, die for him
