Walk On The Wild Side Composer(s): Lou Reed Performer(s): Lou Reed
Holly came from Miami, F-L-A Hitchhiked her way across the U-S-A Plucked her eyebrows on the way Shaved her legs and then he was a she She says hey babe, take a walk on the wild side Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side
Candy came from out on the Island In the back room she was everybody's darlin' But she never lost her head Even when she was givin' head She says hey babe, take a walk on the wild side Said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls go Doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo...
Little Joe never once gave it away Everybody had to pay and pay A hustle here and a hustle there New York City's the place where They said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side They said hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side
Sugar plum fairy came and hit the streets Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat Went to the Apollo You should have seen him go go go They said hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side I said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side All right, huh
Jackie is just speedin' away Thought she was James Dean for a day Then I guess she had to crash Valium would've helped that bash She said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side I said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side
A Story Untold Composer(s): Leroy Griffin Performer(s): The Crew Cuts
Well here in my heart, there's a story untold of a girl who left me standing, standing in the cold and since she's been away I've never had a happy day
I hope and I pray, that she'll hear my plea and maybe someday, she'll come back to me for, here in my heart, there's a story untold
For all you've said and done you said we'd be as one but darling I found I was wrong but what did you do, right from the start you made of fool of me and then you broke my heart well
I hope and I pray, that she'll hear my plea and maybe someday, she'll come back to me For, here in my heart, there's a story untold
Walk On By Composer(s): Kendall Hayes Performer(s): Leroy Van Dyke; and various other artists
If I see you tomorrow on some street in town Pardon me if I don't say hello (say hello) I belong to another, it wouldn't look so good To know someone I'm not supposed to know
Just walk on by, wait on the corner I love you, but we're strangers when we meet Just walk on by, wait on the corner I love you, but we're strangers when we meet
In a dimly lit corner in a place outside of town Tonight we'll try to say goodbye again (say goodbye) But I know it's not over, I'll call tomorrow night I can't let you go so why pretend
Just walk on by, wait on the corner I love you, but we're strangers when we meet Just walk on by, wait on the corner I love you, but we're strangers when we meet I love you, but we're strangers when we meet
Walk On By Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David Performer(s): Dionne Warwick
If you see me walking down the street And I start to cry each time we meet Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe that you don't see the tears Just let me grieve in private 'cause each time I see you I break down and cry And walk on by (don't stop) And walk on by (don't stop) And walk on by
I just can't get over losing you And so if I seem broken and blue Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride Is all that I have left So let me hide The tears and the sadness you gave me When you said goodbye Walk on by and walk on by and walk by (don't stop)
Walk on by, walk on by Foolish pride Is all that I have left So let me hide The tears and the sadness you gave me When you said goodbye Walk on by (don't stop) and walk on by (don't stop) and walk on by (don't stop)
A Steel Guitar And A Glass Of Wine Composer(s): Paul Anka Performer(s): Paul Anka
Just give me a steel guitar, a glass of wine And let me drink to a love I thought was mine A love I thought was true to me But now I'm drinking to her memory A steel guitar and a glass of wine While my tears they glisten and the candles shine Oh candle-glow, oh candle bright Tell me who she holds tonight
And bring me wine And make the music mine Play another set So that I'll forget
Mmm, bring me a steel guitar and a glass of wine And let me toast her just one more time Oh candle-glow, before you dim Tell her what a fool she's been
And bring me wine Make the music mine Play another set So that I'll forget
And bring me a steel guitar and a glass of wine And let me toast her just one more time Oh candle-glow, before you dim Tell her what a fool she's been
And one more thing before I go Here's a secret, I still love her so And one more thing before I go Here's a secret, I still love her so And one more thing before I go Here's a secret, I still love her so And one more thing before I go Here's a secret, I still love her so

In ev'ry job that must be done There is an element of fun you find the fun and snap! The job's a game
Nad ev'ry task you undertake Becomes a piece of cake A lark! Aspree! It's very clear to me
That a... Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down The medicine go down-wown The medicine go down Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down In a most delightful way
A robin feathering his nest Has very little time to rest While gathering his Bits of twine and twig
Though quite intent in his pursuit He has a merry tune to toot He knows a song Will move the job along
For a... Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down The medicine go down-wown The medicine go down Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down In a most delightful way

Mary Poppins: Dans tout travail, il y a un élément de plaisir Trouvez-le, et clac! Le travail devient un jeu Et chaque tâche peut devenir Selon l'humeur un plaisir Tous les soupirs Ne valent pas mieux qu'un sourire C'est le morceau de sucre Qui aide la médecine à couler La médecine à couler La médecine à couler Juste un morceau de sucre Qui aide la médecine à couler Ça vous rend la vie plus belle!
L'oiseau faisant son nid douillet N'a guère le temps pour se reposer Il va cueillir des brins de laine et de bois Bien que pris par ses occupations Il siffle l'air gai d'une chanson Ce qui rend surtout le travail beaucoup moins long C'est le morceau de sucre Qui aide la médecine à couler La médecine à couler La médecine à couler Juste un morceau de sucre Qui aide la médecine à couler Ça vous rend la vie plus belle!
Quand les abeilles travaillent De fleur en fleur sous le ciel bleu Elles vont puis elles viennent Et volent tout en bourdonnant Mais aussi elles font des agapes En profitant de chaque étape Et c'est ce qui fait Que la tâche est bien plus gaie
Jane et Michael: C'est le morceau de sucre Qui aide la médecine à couler La médecine à couler La médecine à couler Juste un morceau de sucre Qui aide la médecine à couler Ça vous rend la vie plus belle!

Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 2009
Coeur Celui qui est seul Celui qui est seul
Celui qui est seul Aussi seul que je l'étais Celui qui est seul Celui là seul connait La longue agonie D'attendre en vain La main d'un ami L'amour au moins Seul celui qui est seul Mais pas seulement Comprend celui qui est seul
Coeur Celui qui est seul Celui qui est seul
Celui qui est seul Etait tout seul avec vous Celui qui est seul Sa solitude est pour vous Donner lui demain Une autre chance De parler enfin De ses silences Qu'il ne soit plus seul Seulement celui Celui qui est seul
You Forgot All The Words (While I Still Remember The Tune)
You Forgot All The Words (While I Still Remember The Tune) Composer(s): Bernie Wayne - E.H. Hay Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
Love was like a song A lovely melody Our hearts would sing along In perfect harmony But you forgot all the words While I still remember the tune Each time our lips would cling I heard a serenade Of love and youth and spring Forever to be played But you forgot all the words While I still remember the tune We used to dance Instead of walk We used to sing Instead of talk Why was our love song That used to be Only the start of the blues for me But songs are funny things They never really die And so my hope still clings That someday you will try To just remember the words For I still remember the tune When lonely lights are lit And midnight songs will start Our song I must admit Still fills my hopeful heart So please remember the words For I still remember the tune

Walk By Yourself Composer(s): Pete Agnew; Ronnie Leahy; Dan McCafferty; Jimmy Murrison Performer(s): Nazareth
Walk by yourself, I've offered you my hand in friendship You live alone; don't want to see in my house You never contend, but you get your seat at ringside You say you're self-made; least you're taking the blame
You used to take a chance, I remember You used to roll the bones, seems like a long time ago When the chips were down, you left me At the rendezvous, I was on my own
Chorus: Excuse me if I make you nervous But I could never put my trust in a visionary Phone's dead when you call room service You're a troublemaker, you're a mercenary Don't wear no black dress But you're a widow maker You want the money
Better see your soul, now you're reaping a sore harvest When the horn sounds, your house it's gonna be Jericho In the superbowl, your quarterback is broken When the day it comes, see me laughing
Chorus
You make me n,n,n,n,nervous Walk by yourself, I've offered you my hand in friendship You live alone; don't want to see in my house You never contend, but you get your seat at ringside You say you're self-made; at least you're taking the blame
The Southern Sky Composer(s): Killing Joke Performer(s): Killing Joke
Peace at the break of dawn, mist on the shore Time is healing everything, time is standing still A voice, that is singing in my head With the breeze, the waves, the sea As we start to move as one
Down from the hills, into the forest Walking on sand, into the water I've been dreaming - islands on my mind
Down from the hills, into the forest Walking on sand, into the water I've been dreaming - under a southern sky
Bright are the scented flowers, many shades of green Water from the purest spring - man is finding wealth Down by the clearing in glades of fern and palm Invocations rising from servants of the Star And walk with the breeze, the waves, the earth As we move in unison
All the seeds blowing further to the south Continuity when all's said and done All the seeds blowing further to the south Continuity when all's said and done
