Sing c'est la vie and soon you will see Your cares will be free; just sing c'est la vie
I once knew a man who owned a butcher shop (ah!) He also had apartments to rent up on top But he didn't include on the sign that he painted "No pets" And the tenant who rented had 6 hungry dogs, he regrets (But he said...)
When things go wrong, just sing a song The birds in the trees will sing harmony Sing c'est la vie and soon you will see Your cares will be free; just sing c'est la vie
If you think the old woman who lived in the shoe had it bad The story of Mrs. Pierre is 10 times as sad (ah, poor woman!) With 22 children, a duck and 2 goats in the bins She was gaily informed by a doctor that she's having twins (But she said...)
When things go wrong, just sing a song The birds in the trees will sing harmony Sing c'est la vie and soon you will see Your cares will be free; just sing c'est la vie
And have I mentioned to you the worst one of all? The night Amer & his wife had their annual ball (ah, I remember that!) The speeches he makes after dinner became quite renowned But this time he sneezed when he spoke, and his pants, they fell down (But they said...)
When things go wrong, just sing a song The birds in the trees will sing harmony Sing c'est la vie and soon you will see Your cares will be free; just sing c'est la vie

Pépé Composer(s): Hans Wittstatt Performer(s): Dalida
Dans toute la ville on le nomme Pépé C'est un curieux petit bonhomme Pépé Pantalon en accordéon, moustache noire en tire-bouchon Quand on l'appelle hop! il ne fait qu'un bond Dîtes-moi donc
Sous le chapeau cocasse de Pépé Qui aurait plus de grâce que Pépé Qui fait l'été quand il sourit A qui toujours tout réussi dans la vie Pépé, Pépé c'est lui
Sa chemise est trouée comme une dentelle Mais il y fait des reprises avec des morceaux de ciel
Son cerveau bat la campagne et bien qu'il soit tout petit Son cur est une montagne qu'il donne à tous ces amis
Dans toute la ville on le nomme Pépé C'est un curieux petit bonhomme Pépé Pantalon en accordéon, moustache noire en tire bouchon Quand on l'appelle, hop! il ne fait qu'un bond Dîtes-moi donc
Qui a moins dans les poches que Pépé Et moins dans la caboche que Pépé Mais qui est heureux comme il vit Et qui cent fois redit merci à la vie Pépé, Pépé, Pépé Oh Pépé, c'est lui

Amore amor sei fatto di Pepe E i baci tuoi son tutti di Pepe Quando mi dici stringimi e mi E sospiri baciami Nel tuo piccolo cuor quanto Pepe c'è
Amore A me manca va proprio del Pepe Perchè in amor ci vuole del Pepe Per il moi cuor di zucchero I baci tuoi ci vogliono per darmi fuoco Pepe, Pepe, si, si
Troppo dolce, troppo dolce son per te Ma se tu sei tutto Pepe Dammi un pizzichino a me Sei davvero un'esplosione Tutto elecffrico sei tu Un vulcano di passione Che si infiamma sempre più
Amor, amore sei faffo di Pepe E i baci tuoi son tutti di Pepe Quando mi parli palpito E sento mille brividi Chiuso dentro di te quanto Pepe c'è
Amore Se tu non fossi fatto di Pepe E non mi dessi tutto il tuo Pepe Non ti direi stringiàmoci Baciamoci amiamoci ti voglio bene Pepe oh Pepe! Si, si
Intet Er Nytt Under Solen First performance by: Åse Kleveland - 1966
Jeg vet om en gammel mann, en som har levd lenge Jeg vet om en gammel mann, en som har levd lenge Han er så snill når han spør meg om hva som har hendt meg Og om solen har brent meg
Jeg prater og søker trøst, han gynger i stolen Han sier med sprukken røst: Intet er nytt under solen
Men hva har vel det å si om ting har hendt før meg? Men hva har vel det å si om ting har hendt før meg? Nei, det som gjør meg så vondt med alt det som han visste At hans øyne er triste
Hva har jeg å vente på meg selv der i stolen? Når han er så trist der nå, intet er nytt under solen
Dort wo man singt und lacht da ist Pepe Wer jeden glücklich macht das ist Pepe Und alle kinder gross und klein Laufen ihm selig hinterdrein Hippihopp, hippihop Über stock und stein Und rufen
Wer hat ein goldnes herz? Unser Pepe! Wer kennt den neusten scherz? Unser Pepe! Und wenn du einmal traurig bist Weil dich die ganze welt vergiBt Ja dann frag nur nach Pepe Pepe si si
Sein sombrero Ist so alt wie mexiko Pepe ist kein caballero Er ist klein aber oho!
Von San Diego bis merita Ist er überall zu haus Auch die schönste Senorita Weinte sich schön bei ihrn aus
Dort wo man singt und lacht da ist Pepe Wer jeden glücklich macht das ist Pepe Und alle kinder gross und klein Laufen ihm selig hinterdrein Hippihopp, hippihop Über Stock und Stein Und rufen
Wer hat ein goldnes herz? Unser Pepe! Wer kennt den neusten scherz? Unser Pepe! Und wenn du einmal traurig bist Weil dich die ganze welt vergisst Ja dann frag nur nach Pepe, Pepe Oh Pepe oh Pepe, si si

Sing as we go and let the world go by Singing a song we march along the highway Say goodbye to sorrow Theres always tomorrow to think of today Sing as we go, although the skies are grey Beggar or king, youve got to sing a gay tune

All the people at this party They've got a lot of style They've got stamps of many countries They've got passport smiles Some are friendly Some are cutting Some are watching it from the wings Some are standing in the centre Giving to get something
Photo Beauty gets attention Then her eye paint's running down She's got a rose in her teeth And a Iampshade crown One minute she's so happy Then she's crying on someone's knee Saying laughing and crying You know it's the same release
I told you when I met you I was crazy Cry for us all Beauty Cry for Eddie in the corner Thinking he's nobody And Jack behind his joker And stone-cold Grace behind her fan And me in my frightened silence Thinking I don't understand
I feel like I'm sleeping Can you wake me You seem to have a broader sensibility I'm just living on nerves and feelings With a weak and a lazy mind And coming to peoples parties Fumbling deaf dumb and blind
I wish I had more sense ot humor Keeping the sadness at bay Throwing the lightness on these things Laughing it all away Laughing it alI away Laughing it all away
Sing Another Song, Boys Composer(s): Leonard Cohen Performer(s): Leonard Cohen
Ah his fingernails, I see they're broken his ships they're all on fire The moneylender's lovely little daughter ah, she's eaten, she's eaten with desire She spies him through the glasses from the pawnshops of her wicked father She hails him with a microphone that some poor singer, just like me, had to leave her She tempts him with a clarinet she waves a Nazi dagger She finds him lying in a heap she wants to be his woman He says, "Yes, I might go to sleep but kindly leave, leave the future, leave it open"
He stands where it is steep oh I guess he thinks that he's the very first one his hand upon his leather belt now like it was the wheel of some big ocean liner And she will learn to touch herself so well as all the sails burn down like paper And he has lit the chain of his famous cigarillo Ah, they'll never, they'll never ever reach the moon at least not the one that we're after it's floating broken on the open sea, look out there, my friends and it carries no survivors But lets leave these lovers wondering why they cannot have each other and let's sing another song, boys this one has grown old and bitter
Ce Soir Je T'attendais
Composer(s): J. Chaumelle - B. Kesslair
First performance by: Michèle Torr - 1966
Le vent peut bien secouer les branches Sur la rue les volets sont clos Sur une nappe blanche Quelques roses se penchent Sur un couvert dressé pour deux La mélodie que tu préfères Repose sur le bord du piano Tout est prêt je l'espère Je n'ai plus rien à faire Que d'ouvrir car j'entends ton pas Et te voilà mais ne prends pas l'air étonné
Car je savais et je t'attendais Ce soir je t'attendais J'étais si sûre que tu viendrais Oui je savais et je t'attendais Ce soir je t'attendais J'avais raison de t'espérer
Nous nous sommes fait beaucoup de peine On s'est quittés pour quelques mots C'est de l'histoire ancienne Je sais bien que tu m'aimes C'est pourquoi je guettais ton pas Et me voilà là devant toi Tendant les bras
Car je savais et je t'attendais Ce soir je t'attendais J'étais si sûre que tu viendrais Oui je savais et je t'attendais Ce soir je t'attendais J'avais raison de t'espérer
Oui je savais et je t'attendais Ce soir je t'attendais Pour te garder à tout jamais Oui je savais et je t'attendais Ce soir je t'attendais Ce soir je t'attendais!
People Talkin' Composer(s): Lucinda Williams Performer(s): Lucinda Williams
People...trying to tear us apart Trying to rip out my heart People talkin' People talkin'
Livin' is full of misery and pain Somebody called you a dirty name Keep on walkin' Keep on walkin'
I love you more than this cruel world will ever know I wanna be your girl forever I don't wanna let you go If I could change things I would die and return Another name and Knowin' everything I've learned People talkin' People talkin'
All of my life I have tried to get along All I ever hear now Is gossip and waggin' tongues
I have suffered and I've cried myself to sleep I have wandered down these highways and dirty streets Keep on walkin' Keep on walkin'
People tryin' to tear us apart Tryin' to rip out my heart People talkin' People talkin
Livin' is full of misery and pain Somebody called you a dirty name Keep on walkin' Keep on walkin'
People talkin People talkin' Keep on walkin' Keep on walkin'
People talkin' People talkin' Keep on walkin' Keep on walkin' People talkin' People talkin'
People Make The World Go Round Composer(s): Thom Bell; Linda Creed Performer(s): The Stylistics
Trashmen didn't get my trash today Oh, why? Because they want more pay Buses on strike want a raise in fare So they can help pollute the air
But that's what makes the world go 'round The up and down, the carousel Changing people, they'll go around Go underground, young man People make the world go 'round
Wall Street losin' dough on ev'ry share They're blaming it on longer hair Big men smokin' in their easy chairs On a fat cigar without a care
But that's what makes the world go 'round The up and down, the carousel Changing people, they'll go around Go underground, young man People make the world go 'round
But that's what makes the world go 'round The up and down, the carousel Changing people, they'll go around Go underground, young man People make the world go 'round
People make the world go 'round People make the world go 'round People make the world go 'round
Sing A Song Of Sunbeams Composer(s): Johnny Burke; James V. Monaco Performer(s): Bing Crosby; Bob Cats; John Scott Trotter
Some search for solace in a sad and somber song And delve into the depths of that dominion While others thrive on things that terrify the throng I guess it's just a matter of opinion
'Cause I say sing a song of sunbeams Let the notes fall where they may Sing a song of sunbeams In a light fantastic way
Show the blues you're busy That you just can't be annoyed And they'll up and go, 'cause they know They're null and void
People all are suckers for a grin You give out, they're gonna give in People always love a jolly gent They might even make you president
Why don't you sing a song of sunbeams Let the notes fall where they may Sing a song of sunbeams In a light fantastic way
Life is never perfect But it isn't always wrong So the only thing to do is sing A sunbeam song
