Lee Oskar Levitin - Charles Miller - Leroy L. Jordan First release by: Eric Burdon & War - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
Spill the wine, dig that girl Spill the wine, dig that girl
I was once out strolling, one very hot summer's day when I thought I'd lay myself down to rest (Excuse me) in a big field with tall grass I laid there in the sun, felt it caress my face as I fell asleep and dreamed I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie (Places, everyone), and that I was the star (Three minutes, Mr. Polo) This really blew my mind the fact that me, an overfed, long-haired, weeping gnome should be the star of a Hollywood movie There I was I was taken to a place, the Hall of the Mountain King I stood high upon a mountaintop, naked with the world in front of every kind of girl There were strong ones, tall ones, short ones, brown ones, black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones Out of the middle came a lady She whispered in my ear, something crazy She said
Spill the wine, dig that girl Spill the wine Spill the wine, dig that girl Dig that girl Spill the wine, dig that girl Spill the wine Spill the wine, dig that girl
I could feel the hot flame of fire roaring in my back as she disappeared But soon, she returned In her hand was a bottle of wine; in the other, a glass She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass, and raised it to her lips and just before she drank, she said
Take the wine, take that girl Spill the wine, dig that girl Spill the wine, dig that girl Spill the wine, dig that girl
Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh! (A Letter From Camp) Composer(s): Allan Sherman Performer(s): Allan Sherman
Hello Muddah, hello Fadduh Here I am at Camp Grenada Camp is very entertaining and they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining
I went hiking with Joe Spivy He developed poison ivy You remember Leonard Skinner He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner
All the counselors hate the waiters And the lake has alligators And the head coach wants no sissies So he reads to us from something called Ulysses
Now I don't want this should scare ya But my bunkmate has malaria You remember Jeffrey Hardy They're about to organize a searching party
Take me home, oh muddah fadduh, take me home, I hate Grenada Don't leave me out in the forest where I might get eaten by a bear Take me home, I promise I will not make noise or mess the house with other boys, oh please don't make me stay, I've been here one whole day
Dearest fadduh, darling muddah How's my precious little bruddah? Let me come home if ya miss me I will even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me
Wait a minute, it stopped hailing Guys are swimming, guys are sailing Playing baseball, gee that's better Muddah Fadduh please disregard this letter
Hay Un Lugar Composer(s): Agustin Belgrano; Ramos Prada; José Miguel; Vera Gallardo Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Hay un lugar, dentro de mi, donde el recuerdo quiere hablar hablar de amor, hablar de ayer, de tantas cosas que callé Hablar de ti, hablar de mi, de tantos sueños por hacer de un ideal de libertad, sombras perdidas que olvidé Quise triunfar, y al verme hoy, veo que en el tiempo se quedó ese lugar, esa mujer, ese ideal y tal vez yo Que ha pasado conmigo, dónde está aquel amigo que luchó, pidiendo libertad Que ha pasado conmigo, poco a poco he perdido la inquietud, y tantas cosas más Si envejecer, quiere decir, que la ilusión se queda atrás quiero volver a ese lugar, donde el recuerdo me quiere hablar Que ha pasado conmigo, dónde está aquel amigo que luchó, pidiendo libertad Que ha pasado conmigo, poco a poco he perdido la inquietud, y tantas cosas más Hay un lugar, dentro de mi Hay un lugar, dentro de mi
Tell Me Who You Are Composer(s): Michael Ronson First performance by: Malene - 2002
Morning light breaking darkness, bringing dawn on again I can feel you are restless, I'm afraid for day to begin You are here, still around me, but your mind goes runnin' free
Tell me who you are, show me what to do Let me be the one that you hold on to Open up your heart, let me look inside Baby, we'll go wrong if you try to hide So tell me who you are
Not a word, not a whisper, I'm confused, feelin' low In my dreams - sweet surrender, through your arms - like a river I flow You are here, still around me, but your mind goes runnin' free
Tell me who you are, show me what to do Let me be the one that you hold on to Open up your heart, let me look inside Baby, we'll go wrong if you try to hide So tell me who you... tell me who you are
You are here, still around me, but your mind goes runnin' free Oh...
(Tell me who you are, show me what to do) Tell me who you are (Let me be the one that you hold on to) Let me be the one you hold on to (Open up your heart, let me look inside) Open up your heart and let me look inside (Baby, we'll go wrong if you try to hide) Baby, we'll go wrong if you hide
Tell me who you are, show me what to do Let me be the one that you hold on to Open up your heart, let me look inside Baby, we'll go wrong if you try to hide So tell me who you are
Hello Mary Lou French Title: Bye Bye Mon Amour
Composer(s): Gene Pitney Performer(s): Rick Nelson
You passed me by one sunny day Flashed those big brown eyes my way And oo I wanted you forever more Now I'm not one that gets around I swear my feet stuck to the ground And though I never did meet you before
Chorus: I said "Hello Mary Lou Goodbye heart Sweet Mary Lou I'm so in love with you I knew Mary Lou We'd never part So Hello Mary Lou Goodbye heart"
I saw your lips I heard your voice believe me I just had no choice Wild horses couldn't make me stay away I thought about a moonlit night My arms about good an' tight That's all I had to see for me to say

Perdida en una isla muy lejos de la gran ciudad Que calor, que calor Tumbada en una playa de fina arena y blanca sal Bajo el sol, bajo el sol La musica me lleva y creo estar allá en un rincon faliz y tropical

El tiempo es todo nuestro el viento trae felicidad A tu amor a mi amor La luna nos sonmíé con cara de complicidad Corazon, corazon La musica me lleva y creo estar allá En un rincon feliz y tropical

Tes Tendres Années (Adapted from: Tender Years - 1961) (Dutch Version: Spiegelbeeld - 1963) Composer(s): Darrell Edwards - Ralph Bernet Performers(s): Johnny Hallyday - 1963
Tu me dis que tu l'aimes Je sais oui tu dis vrai Et pourtant moi je t'aime Bien plus fort en secret Un matin quand il partira Quand tu pleureras Dis-toi bien que tu vivais Tes tendres années
Dans tes yeux la lumière N'est là que pour lui Le sais-tu la lumière Ça n'est pas infini De ne voir en lui qu'un espoir Au jour des regrets Dis-toi bien que tu vivais Tes tendres années
Si mon cur ne peut-être Pour toi le premier J'attendrai afin d'être Dans ta vie le dernier Je serai dans ton avenir Loin des souvenirs Pour te faire oublier Tes tendres années
Oui je serai dans ton avenir Loin des souvenirs Pour te faire oublier Tes tendres années

Hello little girl Hello little girl Hello little girl
When I see you everyday I say: mm mm hello little girl When you're passing on your way I say: mm mm hello little girl When I see you passing by I cry mm mm hello little girl When I try to catch your eye I cry mm mm hello little girl
I send you flowers but you don't care You never seem to see me standing there I often wonder what you're thinking of I hope it's me and love love love
So I hope there'll come a day when you'll say: mm you're my little girl It's not the first time that it's happened to me It's been a long lonely time and it's funny funny to see that I'm about to lose my mind
So I hope there'll come a day when you say: mm mm you're my little girl, mm mm mm you're my little girl, mm mm mm You're my little girl, oh yeah You're my little girl
Hay Otra Cancion Performer(s): Luis Alberto Spinetta & Fito Paez
Una canción para viajar lejos de todo muy lejos de acá una canción me basta, me alcanza Temo vivir para pensar sin un amor que me pueda cambiar la posición del alma del alma Vientos de un amor sin dirección hacen que todo siga Guardo un amor en el placard de vez en cuando lo llevo a pasear en mi gabán de aire en el aire Para sentir hay que flotar como burbuja de aquí para allá hay que saber qué pasa que es lo qué realmente pasa Y hay otra canción sin dirección una señal en la oscuridad significados de algún lugar hacen que todo en mi vida se olvide Vientos de amor sin dirección hacen que todo tiempo feliz ya no se dé sin tenerte aquí hacen que todo en mi vida se olvide
Hello It's Me Composer(s): Todd Rundgren Performer(s): Todd Rundgren
Hello, it's me I've thought about us for a long, long time Maybe I think too much but something's wrong There's something here that doesn't last too long Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine
Seeing you Or seeing anything as much as I do you I take for granted that you're always there I take for granted that you just don't care Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through
It's important to me that you know you are free 'Cause I never want to make you change for me
Think of me You know that I'd be with you if I could I'll come around to see you once in a while Or if I ever need a reason to smile And spend the night if you think I should
Hay Momentos De Amor Composer(s): José Luis Perales Performer(s): Raphael
Hay momentos felices que suelen pasar Hay momentos amargos que suelen quedar Dentro del corazón, presos en un rincón o en una lágrima Hay momentos de amor que son palomas Hay momentos de amor que se demoran Y hay momentos de amor que no quieren llegar Y se quedan rondando la puerta Hay momentos de amor bajo la luna Hay momentos de amor llenos de dudas Y hay momentos de amor que no saben volar Y se quedan rondando la puerta Y se muere el sol Hay miradas tan dulces que suelen pasar Hay miradas de llanto que suelen quedar Llenas de soledad, presas en un adiós o en una lágrima Hay momentos de amor llenos de vida Hay momentos de amor que te lastiman Y hay momentos de amor que nos hacen temblar Y que son la razón de la vida Hay momentos de amor en el silencio Hay momentos de amor que lleva el viento Y hay momentos de amor que no quieren volar Y se quedan temblando de miedo
Addicted To You Composer(s): Maki Kolehmainen - Janina Frostell - Tracy Lipp First performance by: Laura - 2002
You don't know how I was then All broken up, my pride was stolen I lived a little lie, I wouldn't show the hurting inside
I was livin' in emptiness, I was out of love Guard my heart, my wall was so high You came in with all your confidence You swept me away off the ground, you taught me to fly
Holding on until the next time, I can't get you out of my mind If you were a drug, I'd be addicted to you Every time that we say 'goodbye', I just die a little inside How'd I fall so hard? - I'm so addicted to you
Addicted to you, addicted to you So addicted to you, I'm so addicted to you, oh...
Why couldn't this be simple? We'd live just like the other people Now that you're far away, my missing is a constant heartache
'Cause those sparkles back in my eyes I wish I could stay just like this, don't want you to go When you're far away, fantasize That you're in my arms and I jump when I hear the phone
Holding on until the next time, I can't get you out of my mind If you were a drug, I'd be addicted to you Every time that we say 'goodbye', I just die a little inside How'd I fall so hard? - I'm so addicted to you
Addiction - it's hitting hard Now it's got its hold Oh... I can't let go
(Holding on until the next time,) I can't get you out of my mind If you were a drug, I'd be addicted to you Every time that we say 'goodbye', I just die a little inside How'd I fall so hard? - I'm so addicted to you
Holding on until the next time, I can't get you out of my mind If you were a drug, I'd be addicted to you
Hello In There Composer(s): John Prine Performer(s): John Prine; and various other artists
We had an apartment in the city Me and Loretta liked living there And it'd been years since the kids had grown A life of their own, left us alone
John and Linda live in Omaha And Joe is somewhere on the road And we lost Davy in the Korean War And I still don't know what for, don't matter anymore
You know that old trees just grow stronger And old rivers get wilder every day Old people just get lonesome Waiting for someone to say "Hello in there, Hello"
Me and Loretta, we don't talk much more She sits and stares through the back door screen And all the news just repeats itself Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen
Some day I'll go and call up Rudy We worked together at the factory But what'll I say when he asks, "What's new?" "Nothin' What's with you?" Nothin' much to do
You know that old trees just grow stronger And old rivers get wilder every day Old people just get lonesome Waiting for someone to say "Hello in there, Hello"
So if you're walkin' down the street some day And spot some hollow, ancient eyes Please don't just pass 'em by and stare As if you didn't care, say "Hello in there, Hello"
Spiders & Snakes Composer(s): Jim Stafford - David Bellamy First release by: Jim Stafford Covered by multiple other artists
I remember when Mary Lou said she wanted to walk me home from school Well I said yes I do She said I don't have to go right home And I would kinda like to be alone some if you would I said me too And so we took a stroll and wound up down by the swimming hole And she said do what you want to do Got silly and found a frog in the water by the hollow log And I shook it at her and I said this frog's for you, she said
I don't like spiders and snakes And that ain't what it takes to love me Like I wanna be loved by you I don't like spiders and snakes And that ain't what it takes to love me Like I wanna be loved by you
Well I took out that girl from time to time, I called her up when I got a dime I said hello baby, she said ain't you cool Said do you remember when, and would you like to get together again She said I'll see you after school I was so shy and so for awhile most of my love was touch and smile So she said come on over here, I was nervous I guess Still looking for something to slip down her dress And she said let's make it perfectly clear
I don't like spiders and snakes And that ain't what it takes to love me Like I wanna be loved by you I don't like spiders and snakes And that ain't what it takes to love me Like I wanna be loved by you
