    Mother's Lament (aka Your Baby Has Gone Down The Plughole)
    (Traditional)
    Performer(s): Martin Carthy; Cream



    A mother was bathin' her baby one night
    The youngest of ten, a poor little mite
    The mother was fat and the baby was fine
    T'was nawt but a skellington wrapped up in skin

    The mother turned round for the soap from the rack
    She weren't gone a minute, but when she got back
    Her baby had gone, and in anguish she cried
    "Oh, where is my baby?", and the angels replied

    Your baby has gorn dahn the plug'ole
    Your baby has gorn dahn the plug
    The poor little thing was so skinny and thin
    He shoulda been bathed in a jug

    Your baby is perfik'ly happy
    He won't need no bathin' no more
    He's workin' his way through the sewers
    Not lost, just gone on before

    Your baby has gorn dahn the drainpipe
    And the chlorine is bad for his eyes
    He's havin' a swim, and it's healthy for him
    He needed the exercise

    Don't worry 'baht 'im, just be 'appy
    For I know he is suff'rin' no pain
    Your baby has gorn dahn the plug'ole
    Let's hope he don't stop up the drain

    How Lovely Cooks The Meat
    Composer(s): Josef Marais
    Performer(s): Doris Day & Frankie Laine



    Frankie:
    Oh, how lovely cooks the meat
    Oh, how lovely cooks the meat
    When I get back home to eat
    Oh, how lovely cooks the meat
    I smell it far away
    And I thought of it all day
    She's cookin' the meat for me
    What a meal it's gonna be

    Doris:
    Oh, I cooked a lovely meal
    To my man it will appeal
    When he comes in through the door
    He will love me even more

    Frankie:
    Oh, how lovely cooks the meat
    Oh, how lovely cooks the meat
    When I get back home to eat
    Oh, how lovely cooks the meat
    I smell it far away
    And I thought of it all day
    She's cookin' the meat for me
    What a meal it's gonna be

    Doris:
    Oh, the stove is much too hot
    Now the steak has big black spots
    And I hope it won't be tough
    'Cos my man must get enough

    Frankie:
    Oh, how lovely cooks the meat
    Oh, how lovely cooks the meat
    When I get back home to eat
    Oh, how lovely cooks the meat
    I'm comin' through the door
    I cannot wait no more
    An' at the table take my seat
    And put my teeth into that meat

    Doris:
    Oh, my dear, your teeth are strong
    And I hope that I'm not wrong
    Though the steak is burnt and tough
    I am sure you'll get enough

    Frankie:
    Oh, how lovely is my wife
    Oh, how lovely is my wife
    I will keep her all my life
    Oh, how lovely is my wife

    Doris: I'll learn to cook someday
    Frankie: Yes, and then she'll pay her way
    Both:
    But between us there's no strife
    She's/I'm a lovely, lovely wife
    How lovely cooks the meat

    A Mother Doesn't Matter Anymore
    Composer(s): Charles Strouse - Lee Adams



    So, it's come at last
    At last it's come, the day I knew would come at last has come, at last
    My sonny-boy doesn't need me any longer
    Well, what are you waiting for?
    Get rid of me, put me out with the garbage
    Just throw me out with the used grapefruits and the empty cans from the tuna fish
    And never mind putting a lid on it
    Leave it open so a hundred thousand pussycats can walk all over a mother
    Who bronzed your baby shoes?
    Kissed ev'ry little bruise?

    Who picked your dirty socks up off the floor?
    You coughed and who was there?
    It's just too hard to bear
    A mother doesn't matter anymore
    With bunions on my feet
    I trudged through snow and sleet
    To bring your lic'rice from the corner store
    I sold my Tiffany lamp
    So you could go to camp
    Now a mother doesn't matter anymore

    That's it, I'm ready to go and I don't want you to spend a cent
    Fancy funerals are for rich people
    Just wrap me in a flag and throw me in the river on mother's day

    And precious, by the way
    The doctor called today
    What I got's a condition
    Yes he's sure
    There's nothing they can do
    I'll last a week or two
    Because for a condition there's no cure
    That time you caught the croup
    Who made you chicken soup
    And read you "Bambi" till her throat was sore?
    You sacrifice your life, then, Bang!
    You get the knife
    Now a mother doesn't matter anymore

    There, I feel better now
    Everything is as it should be
    A mother is lying on top of a sanitation truck, bound for the city dump
    And a son is running around with a floozie who came looking for a good time
    And stayed to ruin an American woman's life

    Who gave up nights of rest
    To rub Vicks on your chest?
    Who nursed her sonny boy till he was four?
    My life has been in vain
    This country's down the drain
    'Cause a mother doesn't matter
    No, a mother doesn't matter
    Yes, a mother doesn't matter anymore

    How Long Is Too Long?
    Composer(s): Tony Asher; John Bahler
    Performer(s): The Partridge Family



    You tell me you are through with him
    You'll soon be free just to be with me
    So I'll stay by the phone

    I'm waitin' every night at home
    Watching tv shows and honey
    Heaven knows I'm always alone

    Tho' you never call me
    I keep on loving you
    Hoping that if I do, you're gonna love me too
    And I won't have to wait too long

    But how long is too long
    I got to know, you're makin' me lose my mind
    How long is too long
    Hopin' everything will turn out okay
    How long is too long
    To sit around and wait till you come my way

    I see you walkin' around with him
    Holdin' hands and makin' plans
    You're never apart

    I see the way you look at him
    When you're in a crowd
    I know it makes him proud
    While it's breakin' my heart

    And all the time you tell me
    Keep on lovin' you
    And if I do, you're gonna love me too
    And I won't have to wait too long

    How long is too long
    I've got to know, you're makin' me lose my mind
    How long is too long
    Cause baby I've been waitin' a long long time
    How long is too long
    Hopin' everything will turn out okay
    How long is too long
    To sit around and wait till you come my way

    A Montanha
    Performer(s): Roberto Carlos



    Eu vou seguir uma luz lá no alto
    Eu vou ouvir uma voz que me chama
    Eu vou subir a montanha e ficar bem mais perto de Deus
    E rezar
    Eu vou gritar para o mundo me ouvir e acompanhar
    Toda minha escalada e ajudar
    A mostrar como é o meu grito de amor e de fé
    Eu vou pedir que as estrelas não parem de brilhar
    E as crianças não deixem de sorrir
    E que os homens jamais se esqueçam de agradecer

    Por isso eu digo
    Obrigado, Senhor, por mais um dia
    Obrigado, Senhor, que eu posso ver
    Que seria de mim sem a fé que eu tenho em você

    Por mais que eu sofra
    Obrigado, Senhor, mesmo que eu chore
    Obrigado, Senhor, por eu saber
    Que tudo isso me mostra o caminho que leva a você

    Mais uma vez
    Obrigado, Senhor, por outro dia
    Obrigado, Senhor, que o sol nasceu
    Obrigado, Senhor, agradeço obrigado, Senhor

    Por isso eu digo
    Obrigado, Senhor, pelas estrelas
    Obrigado, Senhor, pelo sorriso
    Obrigado, Senhor, agradeço obrigado, Senhor

    Mais uma vez
    Obrigado, Senhor, por um novo dia
    Obrigado, Senhor, pela esperança

    Por isso eu digo
    Obrigado, Senhor, pelo sorriso
    Obrigado, Senhor, pelo perdão
    Obrigado, Senhor, agradeço obrigado, Senhor

    and various other artists



    I could cry salty tears
    Where have I been all these years?
    Little wow, tell me now
    How long has this been goin' on?

    There were chills up my spine
    And some thrills I can't define
    Listen sweet, I repeat
    How long has this been goin' on?

    Oh, I feel that I could melt
    Into heaven I'm hurled
    I know how Columbus felt
    Finding another world

    Kiss me once, then once more
    What a dunce I was before
    What a break, for heaven's sake
    How long has this been goin' on?

    Let me dream that it's true

    Kiss me twice, then once more
    That makes thrice, let's make it four
    What a break, for heaven's sake
    How long has this been goin' on?

    À Mon Frère Revenant D'Italie
    Composer(s): Alfred de Musset - Georges Brassens
    Performer(s): Georges Brassens



    Ainsi, mon cher, tu t'en reviens
    Du pays dont je me souviens
    Comme d'un rêve
    De ces beaux lieux où l'oranger
    Naquit pour nous dédommager
    Du péché d'Eve

    Tu l'as vu, ce fantôme altier
    Qui jadis eut le monde entier
    Sous son empire
    César dans sa pourpre est tombé
    Dans un petit manteau d'abbé
    Sa veuve expire

    Tu t'es bercé sur ce flot pur
    Où Naples enchâsse dans l'azur
    Sa mosaïque
    Oreiller des lazzaroni
    Où sont nés le macaroni
    Et la musique

    Qu'il soit rusé, simple ou moqueur
    N'est-ce pas qu'il nous laisse au cœur
    Un charme étrange
    Ce peuple ami de la gaieté
    Qui donnerait gloire et beauté
    Pour une orange?

    Ischia! c'est là qu'on a des yeux
    C'est là qu'un corsage amoureux
    Serre la hanche
    Sur un bas rouge bien tiré
    Brille, sous le jupon doré
    La mule blanche

    Pauvre Ischia! bien des gens n'ont vu
    Tes jeunes filles que pied nu
    Dans la poussière
    On les endimanche à prix d'or
    Mais ton pur soleil brille encor
    Sur leur misère

    Quoi qu'il en soit, il est certain
    Que l'on ne parle pas latin
    Dans les Abruzzes
    Et que jamais un postillon
    N'y sera l'enfant d'Apollon
    Ni des neuf Muses

    Toits superbes! froids monuments!
    Linceul d'or sur des ossements!
    Ci-gît Venise
    Là mon pauvre cœur est resté
    S'il doit m'en être rapporté
    Dieu le conduise!

    Mais de quoi vais-je ici parler?
    Que ferait l'homme désolé
    Quand toi, cher frère
    Ces lieux où j'ai failli mourir
    Tu t'en viens de les parcourir
    Pour te distraire?

    Frère, ne t'en va plus si loin
    D'un peu d'aide j'ai grand besoin
    Quoi qu'il m'advienne
    Je ne sais où va mon chemin
    Mais je marche mieux quand ta main
    Serre la mienne

    How Long Can Disco On
    Composer(s): Harry Nilsson; Ringo Starr
    Performer(s): Harry Nilsson & Ringo Starr



    Disco, Disco, slowly
    Disco, Disco, Discway
    You know, she go Disco
    She know, you know Reggae

    One night, it was a late night at the Disco
    Hello, hello Disco
    Closer, closer, Disco

    DJ he play Reggae
    DJ he play Reggae
    I say, "Do you wanna dance Reggae?"
    She say, "Oh no! Disco"

    All night long they play the same old song
    Disco
    I'm on my own
    I'll sing along with Reggae

    Reggae, Reggae, slowly
    Slowly, slowly, it's lonely, slowly
    Slowly, it's lonely
    Slowly, lonely, Reggae's lonely

    It's so hard to get laid
    When they're all so afraid of Reggae
    Disco, Disco
    How long can Disco go on?

    À Mon Fils
    Composer(s): B. Sebastian - L. Sebastian
    Performer(s): Joe Dassin



    Maintenant que tu es là si fragile
    Je ne me suis jamais senti aussi petit
    Tu sais je ne suis pas tranquille
    J'ai très peur que tu tombes de mes bras
    Tu me ressembles un peu, tu sera trop nerveux
    Pas toujours très sérieux, mais je pense
    Qu'on sera heureux tous les deux

    On a le même sang dans nos veines
    Pourtant on se regarde étonnés
    Tu ne sais pas encore que tu m'aimes
    Et que pour que tu viennes j'ai aimé
    Tu me ressembles un peu, tu seras généreux
    Près à n'importe quoi et je pense
    Qu'on sera heureux tous les trois

    Tu sais, je ne vais pas te voir grandir
    Et c'est pas moi qui va t'apprendre
    A lire ou à taper dans un ballon
    Tu diras "papa" parfois comme ça
    Tu seras grand quand je sortirai d'ici
    Laissez-le-moi un peu, juste une minute
    Prenez-le doucement, voilà tout doucement

    How long, baby how long
    Has that evening train been gone?
    How long, how how long, baby how long?

    Went to the station, didn't see no train
    Down in my heart, I have an aching pain
    How long, how how long, baby how long?

    I feel disgusted, I feel so bad
    Thinking 'bout the good time that I once had
    How long, how how long, baby how long?

    I could see the green grass growing on the hill
    I ain't seen no greenback on a dollar bill
    How long, how how long, baby how long?

    You're gonna be sorry you feel so blue
    When you want me, baby, I declare I want, want you
    How long, how how long, baby how long?

    Don't have no money for to ride the train
    I would ride the rugs, baby, to be with you again
    How long, how how long, baby how long?

    How long, baby how long
    Must I keep my, my watching point?
    How long, how how long, baby how long?

    À Mon Enterrement
    Composer(s): Jean Ferrat - Maurice Vandair
    Performer(s): Léo Ferré



    À mon enterrement j'aurai des cheveux blancs
    Des dingues et des Pop aux sabots de guitare
    Des cheveux pleins de fleurs des champs dedans leurs yeux
    Hennissant des chansons de nuit quand y'en a marre
    J'aurai des mômes de passe, ceux que j'ai pas finis
    Des filles de douze ans qui gonflent sous l'outrage
    Des Chinoises des Russes des Nordiques remplies
    Des rues décapitées par des girls de passage

    À mon enterrement

    Et je ferai l'amour avec le croque-mort
    Avec sa tête d'ange et ses dix-huit automnes
    Douze pour la vertu et six mourant au port
    Quand son navire mouillera comme un aumône
    A mon enterrement j'aurai un cœur de fer
    Et me suivrai tout seul sur le dernier bitume
    Lâchant mon ombre enfin pour me mettre en enfer
    Dans le dernier taxi tapinant dans la brume

    À mon enterrement

    Comme un pendu tout sec perforé de corbeaux
    A mon enterrement je gueulerai quand même
    J'aurai l'ordinateur facile avec les mots
    Des cartes perforées me perforant le thème
    Je mettrai en chanson la tristesse du vent
    Quand il vient s'affaler sur la gueule des pierres
    La nausée de la mer quand revient le jusant
    Et qu'il faut de nouveau descendre et puis se taire

    À mon enterrement

    À mon enterrement je ne veux que des morts
    Des rossignols sans voix des chagrins littéraires
    Des peintres sans couleurs des acteurs sans décor
    Des silences sans bruits des soleils sans lumière
    Je veux du noir partout à me crever les yeux
    Et n'avoir jamais plus qu'une idée de voyance
    Sous l'œil indifférent du regard le plus creux
    Dans la dernière métaphore de l'offense

    À mon enterrement

    How long, how long baby

    How long

    How long you gonna keep my love at bay
    How long before you're sure
    My love is strong; how long

    How long, how long you gonna keep
    Tellin' me y'like me fine
    How long until I'm gonna make you mine
    How long before you wake up
    And find your good man gone; how long

    Go-o-o-o-ne; how long
    Go-o-o-o-ne; how long

    Was it wonderful for you?
    Was it holy as it was for me?
    Did you feel the hand of destiny
    That was guiding us together?

    You were young enough to dream
    I was old enough to learn something new
    I'm so glad I got to dance with you
    For a moment of forever

    Sometimes when you're cryin', you're happy
    Sometimes you're just cryin'
    I know
    I know

    Come whatever happens now
    Ain't it nice to know that dreams still come true
    I'm so glad that I was close to you
    For a moment of forever

    À Moi L'Afrique
    Composer(s): Jean Ferrat - Michelle Senlis
    Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



    Rouge et jaune coloriés
    Par la main d'un écolier
    En madras, en tablier
    À moi, à moi, à moi l'Afrique
    Les seins lourds de tes nourrices
    Nous rappellent les délices
    D'une enfance qui résiste
    À moi, à moi, à moi l'Afrique
    Mangeant des noix de cajou
    Flirtant le soir à genoux
    Comme la liane enroulée
    Avec le singe des blés
    À moi, à moi, à moi
    À moi l'Afrique

    Tapant des mains et des pieds
    Au rythme fou des sorciers
    Sous des rubans de papier
    À moi, à moi, à moi l'Afrique
    Mon enfance retrouvée
    Tu te reprends à rêver
    Tous tes livres, ils étaient vrais
    À moi, à moi, à moi l'Afrique
    Voilà les fruits et les fleurs
    Les sources bleues, les couleurs
    Les pagnes et les colliers
    Au pas lent des chameliers
    À moi, à moi, à moi
    À moi l'Afrique

    Serpent de lune et parfum
    L'odeur du thé au jasmin
    Monte à portée de la main
    À moi, à moi, à moi l'Afrique
    Et face aux tentes rayées
    En plein désert appuyées
    J'ai le coeur débarbouillé
    À moi, à moi, à moi l'Afrique
    Tout redevient neuf et beau
    Mon âme marche en sabots
    Mes bras s'ouvriront demain
    L'avenir n'est pas si loin
    À moi, à moi, à moi
    À moi l'Afrique

    How Little We Know
    Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Hoagy Carmichael
    Performer(s): Susannah McCorkle;
    and various other artists



    Maybe it happens this way
    Maybe we really belong together
    But after all, how little we know

    Maybe it's just for a day
    Love is as changeable as the weather
    And after all, how little we know

    Who knows why an April breeze never remains
    Why stars in the trees hide when it rains
    Love comes along, casting a spell
    Will it sing you a song
    Will it say a farewell
    Who can tell

    Maybe you're meant to be mine
    Maybe I'm only supposed to stay in your arms a while
    As others have done

    Is this what I've waited for, am I the one
    Oh, I hope in my heart that it's so
    In spite of how little we know

    Is this what I've waited for, am I the one
    Oh, I hope in my heart that it's so
    In spite of how little we know

    A Misunderstood Man
    Composer(s): John Farrar - Tim Rice
    Performer(s): Cliff Richard



    The story is a famous one
    Now worshipped, now dismissed
    Rehearsed and trawled for meanings
    That may well not exist
    The demon at the story's heart
    The cuckoo in the nest
    Gives so little of himself away
    Which is the reason why you will stay
    In case he falters, should betray
    By whom or what possessed
    These are the facts of the matter
    These are the names in the case
    This the story, the passion
    The time and the place
    They're laid here before you
    So judge if you can
    The devil incarnate or
    A misunderstood man

    His origins, his way of life
    His motives - they're all news
    No shortage of detractors
    To air their noisy views
    The man inspires a thousand lies
    The lover takes his choice
    Remaining coldly in control
    Aware that sadly, on the whole
    It is the fool who bares his soul
    I'll give the man a voice!

    These are the facts of the matter
    These are the names in the case
    This the story, the passion
    The time and the place
    They're laid here before you
    So judge if you can
    The devil incarnate or
    A misunderstood man

    (How Little It Matters) How Little We Know
    Composer(s): Carolyn Leigh; Philip Springer
    Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
    and various other artists



    How little we know!
    How much to discover
    What chemical forces flow from lover to lover!
    How little we understand what touches off that tingle
    That sudden explosion when two tingles intermingle

    Who cares to define what chemistry this is?
    Who cares, with your lips on mine, how ignorant bliss is?
    So long as you kiss me, and the world around us shatters
    How little it matters, how little we know

    How little we understand what touches off that tingle
    That sudden explosion when two tingles intermingle

    Who cares to define what chemistry this is?
    Who cares, with your lips on mine, how ignorant bliss is?
    So long as you kiss me, and the world around us shatters
    How little it matters, how little we know
    How little we know
    How little we know

    A Mission In Life
    Composer(s): Stan Ridgway
    Performer(s): Stan Ridgway



    Sue, turn out the lights
    It`s time to close up we`re through
    Gotta clear it out so let`s drink up
    It`s past two
    Girl, don`t push `em out
    They can walk out on their own
    How many times I gotta tell you
    Bob, you gotta drink up and go home
    I don`t run a business just to talk to you all day

    Clear ou the backroom Sue
    Stack up the chairs
    Who broke this glass? No one really cares
    Go take the trash out and vacuum the stairs
    What do I pay you for?
    And don`t foget to sweep the glass off the floor

    Once I had plans to fix up this place
    A room where you could go to
    And meet people with taste
    They`d talk and they`d laugh and forget the rat race
    And I`d be just like on of those guys
    With the moustache and face
    Hey, help me lift up this case

    Hey, I`m really sorry I blew up
    Then I`ve had no sleep
    I`ve been up all night with my wife and brother-in-law
    You know Pete.
    At times this world can seem just like a cold icy ball
    But don`t let that discourage you
    `Cause you`re young...take that call
    And if it`s my wife, just try and stall

    I was just wondering how you get home
    Do you have a boyfriend or do you live alone?
    I`m going your way if you`re going mine
    No...I feel fine
    But before you go just let me paass on one thing

    You got a mission in life
    To hold out your hand
    to help the other guy out
    Help your fellow man
    That`s why I own this bar
    They`re thirsty outside
    I give them oceans to drink
    Then they drown in the tide
    They just drown in the tide...

    How It Lies, How It Lies, How It Lies
    Composer(s): Sonny Burke; Paul Francis Webster
    Performer(s): Dean Martin
    and multiple other artists



    If you think candy's sweet
    There's a girl you oughta meet
    Sugar drips from her lips when she sighs
    But the lovelight that lies
    Within my baby's eyes
    How it lies, how it lies, how it lies

    She has style, she has charms
    And a pair of lovin' arms
    That I'm dyin' to try on for size
    But the lovelight that lies
    Within my baby's eyes
    How it lies, how it lies, how it lies

    Oh her name tops the list of every florist
    Her beaux stand ten deep in line
    With all of the trees in the forest
    Why should I be the only clingin' vine

    Oh there's heartbreak in store
    Where the one that you adore
    Is a devil in the angel disguise
    But the lovelight that lies
    Is the lovelight that dies
    How it lies, how it lies, how it lies
