Cantador ((Adapted from: Like A Lover (by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66) - 1968)) Composer(s): Dorival Caymmi - Nelson Motta Performer(s): Patti Cathcart & Tuck Andress - 1989
Amanhece, preciso ir Meu caminho é sem volta e sem ninguém Eu vou prá onde a estrada levar Cantador só sei cantar Ah! eu canto a dor Canto a vida e a morte, canto o amor Cantador não escolhe o seu cantar Canta o mundo que vê E pro mundo que vi meu canto é dor Mas é forte prá espantar a morte Prá todos ouvirem minha voz Mesmo longe De que servem meu canto e eu Se em meu peito há um amor que não morreu Ah! se eu soubesse ao menos chorar Cantador só sei cantar Ah! Eu canto a dor De uma vida perdida sem amor

(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away Performer(s): Andy Gibb
Maybe I don't wanna know the reason why But lately you don't talk to me Darling I can't see me in your eyes I hold you near but you're so far away And it's losing you I can't believe To watch you leave and let this feeling die You alone are the living thing that keeps me alive And tomorrow if I'm here without your love You know I can't survive Only my love can raise you high above it all
Don't throw it all away, our love, our love Don't throw it all away, our love Don't throw it all away, our love, our love Don't throw it all away, our love
(break)
We can take the darkness and make if full of light But let your love flow back to me How can you leave and let this feeling die This happy room will be a lonely place when you are gone And I won't even have your shoulders for the crying on No other women's love could be as true, I'm begging you
We changed the world we made it ours to hold But dreams are made for those who really try This losing you is real But I still feel you here inside
It Is Obvious Composer(s): Syd Barrett Performer(s): Syd Barrett
It is obvious, may I say oh baby That it is found on another plane Yes I can creep into cupboards, sleep in the hall Your stars, my stars, a simple cock bars Only an impulse -- pie in the sky
Mumma listen dolly drift over your mind holly Creep into bed when your head's on the ground She held the torch on the porch and she winked an eye
The reason it is written on the brambles Stranded on the spikes, my blood red, oh listen Remember those times I could call through the clear day time and you'd be there? And braver and braver, a handkerchief waver
Growing together, the good of each other Wandering, stumbling, fumbling, rumbling Minds shot together, our minds shot together
So equally over a valley, a hill wood, on quarry stood each of us crying A velvet curtain of gray marked the blanket where sparrows play And the trees by the waving corn, stranded My legs moved the last empty inches to you The softness, the warmth and the weather in suspense Mog to a grog, the scar of white chalk Minds shot together, our minds shot together
(Open Up The Door) Let The Good Times In Composer(s): Mitch Torok; Ramona Redd Performer(s): Dean Martin
I woke up this mornin' Toes out of my shoes Cold north wind's ahowlin' Bringin' me the blues I said, "blues, good mornin' I don't wanna fight 'Scuse me while I have a smoke If I can find a light" Open up the door and let the good times in Don't let nothin' stand in your way Just open up the door and let the good times in Tomorrow's gonna be better than today
I went to that cupboard Found the cupboard bare What happened to that sip of wine I had hidden there Over in the corner A little mouse laid on its side He was wearin' such a grin I thought the mouse had died Open up the door and let the good times in Don't let nothin' stand in your way Just open up the door and let the good times in Tomorrow's gonna be a better than today
I went called my baby When she got to the phone I kinda had a little feelin' My baby was not alone She said, "daddy, I'm busy Call some other time" I don't need that woman, but I sure could use the dime Open up the door and let the good times in Don't let nothin' stand in your way Just open up the door and let the good times in Tomorrow's gonna be a better than today Tomorrow's gonna be a better than today Tomorrow's gonna be a better than today

(Oh Why, Oh Why, Did I Ever Leave) Wyoming Composer(s): Morey Amsterdam Performer(s): Dick Jurgens & His Orch.; Jerry Colonna
Oh! Give me back my prairie with the cattle and wild game Where the hills are nice and curvy
and the women are the same Where cowboys all yell "Whoopee!" while a lariat they twirl And the timber wolves yell "Timber!" when they see a pretty girl
Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming? Why, oh why did I ever have to go? Oh why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming? `Cause there's a sheriff back there lookin' for me high and low and high and low and high and low ....
Back home in old Wyomin' folks are actin' mighty strange Since they started social climbin' how they've changed the good old range Our farm is now a dude ranch and there's carpet on the trails The cowboys wear tuxedos and the horses all wear tails, Ooooh
Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming? Why, oh why did I ever have to go? Oh why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming? `Cause there's a sheriff back there lookin' for me high and low and high and low and high and low ....
My Uncle Max in Cheyenne he's honest as the sun He worked six years in a bathhouse and he never took a one The sheriff fin'lly got him and no more will Uncle roam They caught him workin' in a bank and takin' samples home
Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming? Why, oh why did I ever have to go? Oh why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming? `Cause there's a sheriff back there lookin' for me high and low and high and low and high and low!
----------
As recorded by Jerry Colonna:
Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming Why, oh why, did I ever have to go Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming 'Cause there is someone back there lookin' for me high and low and ....
Oooooh, give me back my prarie and my cattle and wild game Where the hills are nice and curvy and the women are the same Where skies are always bluer and the cowboys sound so sad Where men are punchin' cattle and Mother's punchin' Dad
Oh why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming Why, oh why, did I ever have to go Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming 'Cause there is someone back there looking for me high and low and high and low and ....
I used to live in Cheyenne, that's a lovely place to see To ride along the rollin' plains just east of Laramie The sheriff almost caught me and that's why I have to roam He saw me workin' in a bank and takin' samples home
Oh why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming Why, oh why, did I ever have to go Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming 'Cause there's a sheriff back there lookin' for me high and low and high and low
No Night So Long Composer(s): Will Jennings; Richard Kerr Performer(s): Dionne Warwick
An old friend told me that you just ran out of chances One too many dances down the narrow street of time Remember how we faced the world, like two tramps shining Please, don't let that magic ever end Don't forget what we learned living on the wind
No night so long that you can't find the day no day so wrong that you can't find your way Call on me like you used to do I still can show you who you are
That day the long and dusty road had us both crying We used up our last joke just to try to smile a again And only now I find I know what we were learning Though it's dark and you have traveled far Ev'ry long night gives you one bright shining star
No night so long that you can't find the day no day so wrong that you can't find your way Call on me like you used to do I can still show you who you are
Deep in the night you know that you'll find Deep in the night you know that you'll find the way No night so long that you can't find the day no day so wrong that you can't find your way Call on me like you used to do I still can show you who you are No night so long that you can't find the day No day so wrong that you can't find your way

Have you been a good little angel? Santa Claus soon will be on his way
And he'll bring his eight little reindeer Pulling the toys in his great big sleigh

Here they come now up on the rooftop Santa Claus' sleigh and his reindeer too

It Hurts Me
((French Version: Ça Fait Mal (by Johnny Hallyday) - 1964)
Composer(s): Joy Byers - Charles E. Daniels
First release by: Elvis Presley - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists
It hurts me to see him treat you the way he does It hurts me to see sit and cry When I know I could be so true If I had someone like you It hurts me to see those tears in your eyes
The whole town is talking, they're callin' you a fool For listening to his same old lies And when I know I could be so true If I had someone like you It hurts me to see the way he makes you cry
You love him too much, you're too blind to see He's only playing a game But he's never loved you He never will And darling, don't you know he will never change
Oh, I know he never will set you free Because he's just that kind of guy But if you ever tell him you're through I'll be waiting for you Waiting to hold you so tight Waiting to kiss you goodnight Yes, darling, if I had someone like you
No Moon At All Composer(s): Redd Evans; Dave Mann Performer(s): Julie London; and various other artists
No moon at all, what a night Even lightning bugs have dimmed their light Stars have disappeared from sight And theres no moon at all Dont make a sound, its so dark Even Fido is afraid to bark What a perfect chance to park And theres no moon at all
Should we want atmosphere Or inspiration, dear One kiss will make it clear That tonights the night And bright moonlight might interfere
No moon at all, up above This is nothing like they told us of Just to think we fell in love And theres no moon at all
Should we want atmosphere Or inspiration, dear One kiss will make it clear That tonights the night And bright moonlight might interfere
Whatever It Is, I'm Against It From the Marx Bros. film "Horse Feathers" (1932) Composer(s): Harry Ruby; Bert Kalmar Performer(s): Groucho Marx
I don't know what they have to say It makes no difference anyway Whatever it is, I'm against it! No matter what it is Or who commenced it I'm against it!
Your proposition may be good But let's have one thing understood Whatever it is, I'm against it! And even when you've changed it Or condensed it I'm against it!
I'm opposed to it On general principles I'm opposed to it! (He's opposed to it) (In fact, he says he's opposed to it!)
For months before my son was born I used to yell from night to morn "Whatever it is, I'm against it!" And I've kept yelling Since I first commenced it "I'm against it!"
