A Little Bit Of Green Composer(s): Christian Arnold - David Martin - Geoff Morrow Performer(s): Elvis Presley
Now that the truth is hard to face I can't forget you once were mine Someone else is in my place Whenever we meet my heart beats out of time
Just a little bit of green Clouds my eyes to what I've seen Just a little bit of green When I see you with someone new And knowing that there's nothing I can do
Please don't try to tie me down Those are the words you often say I can't help seeing you around You smile with surprise, I turn my eyes away
Just a little bit of green Oh-oh-ho, clouds my eyes to what I've seen Just a little bit of green When I see you with someone new And knowing that there's nothing I can do
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Just a little bit of green Oh-oh-ho, clouds my eyes to what I've seen Just a little bit of green When I see you with someone new And knowing that there's nothing I can do
Hors-Saison Composer(s): Francis Cabrel Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
C'est le silence Qui se remarque le plus Les volets roulants tous descendus De l'herbe ancienne Dans les bacs à fleurs Sur les balcons On doit être hors-saison
La mer quand même Dans ses rouleaux continue Son même thème Sa chanson vide et têtue Pour quelques ombres perdues Sous des capuchons On doit être hors-saison
Le vent transperce Ces trop longues avenues Quelqu'un cherche une adresse inconnue Et le courrier déborde Au seuil des pavillons On doit être hors-saison
Une ville se fâne Dans les brouillards salés La colère océane est trop près Les tourments la condamnent Aux écrans de fumée Personne ne s'éloigne du quai
On pourrait tout prendre Les murs, les jardins, les rues On pourrait mettre Aux boîtes aux lettres nos prénoms dessus Ou bien peut-être un jour Les gens reviendront On doit être hors-saison
La mer quand même Dans ses rouleaux continue Son même thème Sa chanson vide "où es-tu?" Tout mon courrier déborde Au seuil de ton pavillon On doit être hors-saison...
Une ville se fâne Dans les brouillards salés La colère océane est trop près Les tourments la condamnent Aux écrans de fumée Personne ne s'éloigne du quai
A Little Bit Of Cucumber Composer(s): T.W. Connor Performer(s): Harry Champion
I was weaned on cucumber And on my wedding day Sitting down to supper when The guests had gone away My old darling said to me "You must be hungry, Joe! What is it you fancy?" I Said, "Fancy! Don't you know?"
I went flying in the air With my old college chum Suddenly he said to me "We're bound for kingdom come! Is there anything on your mind Before you wear a crown?" I began to shake and said "Write this confession down
To the Lord Mayor's Banquet I Got in one foggy day When I saw the grub it took My appetite away "Sparrowgrass" and chaffinches And pigs-head stuffed with jam! I said to the waiter there "You don't know who I am!"
Sev'ral years of married life Have brought me lots of joys I don't know how many girls I think it's fourteen boys When the last one came to town It nearly turned my head It was marked with a cucumber And the fust words that it said
Were:
"I like pickled onions I like piccalilli Pickled cabbage is alright With a bit of cold meat on Sunday night I can go termartoes But what I do prefer Is a little bit of cu-cum-cu-cum-cu-cum Little bit of cucumber"
Horsey, Keep Your Tail Up Composer(s): Walter Hirsch; Bert Kaplan Performer(s): Spike Jones
Horsey, keep your tail up Horsey, keep your tail up Keep the sun out of my eyes Horsey, keep your tail up Horsey, keep your tail up Never mind about the flies His mane is long and his hair is thick He's really got an awful kick Horsey, keep your tail up Horsey, keep your tail up Keep the sun out of my eyes
Horsey, keep your tail up Horsey, keep your tail up Keep the sun out of my eyes Horsey, keep your tail up Horsey, keep your tail up Never mind about the flies Now if you want to look real smart Just raise your tail before you start Horsey, keep your tail up Horsey, keep your tail up Keep the sun out of my eyes
A Little Bit More ((Danish Version: Endnu En Gang (by Bamse) - 1977)) Composer(s): Bobby Gosh First release by: Bobby Gosh - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists
When your body's had enough of me And I'm layin' flat out on the floor When you think I've loved you all I can I'm gonna love you a little bit more
Come on over here and lay by my side I've got to be touchin' you Let me rub your tired shoulders The way I used to do
Look into my eyes and give me that smile The one that always turns me on And let me take your hair down `Cause we're stayin' up to greet the sun
And when your body's had enough of me And I'm laying flat out on the floor When you think I've loved you all I can I'm gonna love you a little bit more
Got to say a few things that have been on my mind And you know where my mind has been I guess I learned my lessons And now's the time to begin
So if you're feelin' alright and you're ready for me I know that I'm ready for you We better get it on now `Cause we got our whole life to live through
And when your body's had enough of me And I'm layin' flat out on the floor When you think I've loved you all I can I'm gonna love you a little bit more
And when your body's had enough of me And I'm layin' flat out on the floor When you think I've loved you all I can I'm gonna love you a little bit more
Horizonte De Las Estrellas Composer(s): E. Aldrighetti; O. Avogadro; R. Battaglia; Miguel Bosé; Roberto Colombo; M. Schiappadori Performer(s): Miguel Bosé
Horizonte de las estrellas es el limite que me vuelve loco cuantas son, como son de bellas por mi amor yo no fui quien las ha roto
Eres tan pálida, que blanca estas siempre radiante, en quien pensarás como estas, como estas como estas...
Horizonte de las estrellas el infante ya duerme en la cuna si pudiese ser una de ellas le daría belleza y fortuna
Eres tan pálida, que blanca estas tibia acuarela, espuma del mar como estas, como estas como estas...
Eres tan pálida, que blanca estas eclipsadisima quien te amará como va
soy prisionero del tiempo que va un pasajero de la eternidad como va como va como va...
A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You Composer(s): Neil Diamond First release by: The Monkees - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
Walk out, girl, don't you walk out We've got things to say Talk out, let's have it talked out And things will be okay
Girl, I don't want to fight I'm a little bit wrong, you're a little bit right I said, girl, you know that it's true It's a little bit me, and it's a little bit you, too
Don't know just what I said wrong But, girl, I apologize Don't go, here's where you belong So wipe the tears from your eyes
Girl, I don't want to fight I'm a little bit wrong, you're a little bit right I said, girl, you know that it's true It's a little bit me, and it's a little bit you, too

Horizontalement Composer(s): Roland Valade Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Verticalement Tu n'es pas une affaire Je sais bien Mais horizontalement C'est toi que je préfère Et de loin
Je m'sens le plus triste Des cruciverbistes Car je suis Derrière une grille Seul où toi ma fille Tu m'as mis Pour trouver ta définition Je n'ai pas trente-six solutions Belle comme l'amour futée comme un balai Tu es la source de tous mes mots croisés
Verticalement Tu n'es pas une affaire Je sais bien Mais horizontalement C'est toi que je préfère Et de loin
Après les extases Tu as quelques cases Mal remplies En libertinage Tu as pour ton âge Du génie En cinq lettres sur mon journal On demande au trois vertical Un mal qui peut se dissiper la nuit En pensant à toi j'ai trouvé l'ennui
Verticalement Tu n'es pas une affaire Je sais bien Mais horizontalement C'est toi que je préfère Et de loin
Pourquoi dans nos phrases Tous nos mots se croisent Pleins d'aigreur Idiots que nous sommes Puisque la nuit gomme Nos erreurs Au fond de notre carrée noire M'arrive une lueur d'espoir Alors j'oublie ce qui m'obsède chez toi Qui n'as pas inventé l'eau tiède crois-moi
Verticalement Tu n'es pas une affaire Je sais bien Mais horizontalement C'est toi que je préfère Et de loin
Mais horizontalement C'est toi que je préfère Et de loin
Mais horizontalement C'est toi que je préfère Et de loin

Oh, you hop a little on your little left shoe You hop a little on your right one too You kick a button like the Scotch kids do That's the Hop Scotch Polka
Oh, you hop a little on your little left shoe You hop a little on your right one too You don't mind boucin' like a kangaroo To the Hop Scotch Polka
It's in and out among the maple trees It's up and down and then you wave your knees Your head goes boppin' in the morning breeze To the Hop Scotch Polka
Oh, you hop a little on your little left shoe You hop a little on your right one too You kick a button like the Scotch kids do That's the Hop Scotch Polka
Oh, you hop a little on your little left shoe You hop a little on your right one too You kick a button like the Scotch kids do That's the Hop Scotch Polka

Hop, hop, hop-pity Hip, hip, hip-pity Hop to the Hop Scotch Polka
A Little Bit Independent Composer(s): Joe Burke - Edgar Leslie Performer(s): Fats Waller and multiple other artists
A little bit independent in your walk A little bit independent in your talk There's nothing like you in Paris or New York You're awfully easy on the eyes A little bit independent when we dance A little bit independent toward romance A bit of sophistication in your glance And yet you're easy on the eyes Whenever I'm with you alone You weave a magic spell And though it be a danger zone I only know that you're swell A little bit independent with your smile A little bit independent in your style But how can I help but love you all the while When you're so easy on the eyes
Hoppy's Gone Composer(s): Larry Henley; Red Lane; Johnny Slate Performer(s): Roger Miller
Hang it up boys Yesterdays and dreams and matinees Like tinker toys they fell apart today Well almost anyway Hoppy's gone
Bed em Down, boys Put your cowboy boots and guns away The broomstick horse just up and died today And so did Saturdays Hoppy's gone
Rock-a-bye yesterday Winds blow and cradles will fall And down comes the curtain And all of a lifetime of mem'ries live on Hoppy's gone, boys, hoppy's gone
Hang it all up boys Yesterdays and dreams and matinees Like tinker toys they came apart today Best just let it lay Hoppy's gone Rock-a-bye yesterday Winds will blow and cradles will fall

I'm a little bit country And I'm a little bit rock 'n roll I'm a little bit of Memphis and Nashville With a little bit of Motown in my soul I don't know if it's good or bad But I know I love it so I'm a little bit country And I'm a little bit rock 'n roll
He's a little bit gentle, he's a little bit runnin' wild She's a little bit of ??? woman, she's a little bit of jive Don't know if I'm happy or sad My music makes me whole I'm a little bit country And I'm a little bit rock 'n roll
I like that peaceful easy feeling of a laid back country song And when I sing my rock n' roll, I can sing it all night long I love my country with all my heart and soul I go out on Saturday night for a little bit of rock 'n roll I know if I'm fellin' right No matter where I go With little bit of country And a little bit of rock 'n roll

Hoping That Youre Hoping Composer(s): Betty E. Harrison Performer(s): The Louvin Brothers
Every minute of the day, Im thinking bout you And without you life is just a crazy dream Every breath I take Im hoping that youre hoping that Im hoping Youll return to me
Can you remember, dear, when you said If I ever stopped loving you, youd rather be dead? Well, dear, I dont know what on earth changed your mind No matter whos holding you, your heart is still mine
Every time I think about the way you cuddled up and snuggled up And filled me with your charm I get dizzy in the head And then its seeming that Im dreaming Im locked in your loving arms
Every minute of the day, Im thinking bout you And without you life is just a crazy dream Every breath I take Im hoping that youre hoping that Im hoping Youll return to me
Can you remember, dear, when you said If I ever stopped loving you, youd rather be dead? Well, dear, I dont know what on earth changed your mind No matter whos holding you, your heart is still mine

A Little Ain't Enough
Performer(s): David Lee Roth
Empty pockets never stopped
Me from singing a blue streak, no
And I don't think the devil's
Ever gonna give me back
I don't think so!
'Cause stayin' 'round here takes patience
It's like a full time occupation
I've become a diplomaniac
Yes I did, baby
Hey mean old gal
You know the cross-town bus just rolled
Yeah I'm the same old number
But we still got time to go
Oh I say mama living ain't a luxury
Oh I say mama and a lil' ain't enough for me
No it ain't, no it ain't baby!
Yeah I'm believing that you needin' yo relaxation
but honey tell me can you tell that story twice?
I don't think so mama!
'Cause there's a function at the junction
I think ya better get it all ready girl
See I was born without a silver spoon But I'm gonna make a stir
Yes I am!
Was vaccinated with a phonograph needle
One summer break; and then I kissed her
On her daddy's boat and shot accross the lake
And was singin' it
Oh I say mama living ain't a luxury
Oh I say mama and a lil' ain't enough for me
No it ain't baby, no it ain't!
Mmmm, said a little ain't enough, baby!
Baby, Please!! Little ain't enough, aw yeah, Wow!
Was vaccinated with a phonograph needle
One summer break Same summer that I kissed her
On her daddy's boat and shot across the lake Yeah!
Oh I say mama living ain't a luxury
Oh I say mama and a lil' ain't enough for me
Oh I say mama living ain't a luxury
Oh I say mama and a lil' ain't enough for me
Hopelessly Devoted To You Composer(s): John Farrar Performer(s): Olivia Newton-John
Guess mine is not the first heart broken my eyes are not the first to cry I'm not the first to know there's just no gettin' over you Hello, I'm just a fool who's willing to sit around and wait for you But baby can't you see, there's nothin' else for me to do I'm hopelessly devoted to you But now there's nowhere to hide since you pushed my love aside I'm not in my head hopelessly devoted to you Hopelessly devoted to you hopelessly devoted to you My head is saying "fool, forget him" my heart is saying "don't let go" Hold on to the end, that's what I intend to do I'm hopelessly devoted to you But now there's nowhere to hide since you pushed my love aside I'm not in my head hopelessly devoted to you Hopelessly devoted to you hopelessly devoted to you
A Little A' This 'N' That Composer(s): Pete Seeger Performer(s): Pete Seeger
My grandma, she can make a soup with a little a' this 'n' that She can feed the whole sloop group with a little a' this 'n' that Stone soup! You know the story Stone soup! Who needs the glory? But with grandma cooking, no need to worry Just a little a' this 'n' that
Grandma likes to make a garden grow with a little a' this 'n' that But she likes to have the ground just so with a little a' this 'n' that Not too loose and not too firm In the spring, the ground's all got to be turned In the fall, lots of compost, to feed the worms with a little a' this 'n' that
Grandma knows we can build a future with a little a' this 'n' that And a few arguments never ever hurt ya with a little a' this 'n' that True, this world's in a helluva fix And some say oil and water don't mix But they don't know a salad-maker's tricks with a little a' this 'n' that
The world to come may be like a song with a little a' this 'n' that To make ev'rybody want to sing along with a little a' this 'n' that A little dissonance ain't no sin A little skylarking to give us all a grin Who knows but God's got a plan for the people to win with a little a' this 'n' that
Hopeless Romantic Composer(s): Billy Vera Performer(s): Billy Vera
Sometimes on Sundays I sit by the TV Watching sad movies alone When it gets to the part Where the little dog dies I cry Sometimes I think I was born just a little Behind or ahead of my time I live in a dream world Of caring and sharing And good guys and nobody lies
I'm a believer And much more than anything I believe in you You're not a deceiver And if you told me the ocean went dry I'd believe it was true
So call me a hopeless romantic Because I can still believe I can still believe in true love And hopeless romantics Still can find a way To make true love last these days
