When I Get Home Composer(s): Bobby Darin; Russell Alquist Performer(s): The Searchers
There's gonna be good times baby, just wait and see Music and parties and laughter like it used to be 'Cause I'm comin' back to make us a life of our own When I get home, when I get home baby
Five thousand miles from you baby is far I know But just remember this baby wherever you go I'm gonna love you, never leave you alone When I get home, when I get home baby
When I get home You're gonna wake up and find there's a new kind of dawn Baby, when I get home I'm gonna make up for all the time I've been gone Baby, baby, if you love me
You'll hang on a little bit longer and we'll see it through There ain't no nothin' can stop me from reaching you And I'm gonna give you a love like you've never known When I get home, when I get home baby When I get home baby When I get home baby When I get home

When I Fall In Love Composer(s): Edward Heyman; Victor Young Performer(s): Doris Day; and various other artists
Maybe I'm old fashioned, feeling as I do Maybe I am living in the past But when I meet the right one I know that I'll be true My first love will be the last
When I fall in love it will be forever Or I'll never fall in love In a restless world like this is Love is ended before it began And too many moonlight kisses Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart it will be completely Or I'll never, never, never give my heart And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too Is when I give my heart to you
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too Is when I give my heart to you

Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are Up above the world so high Like a diamond in the sky Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are!
When the blazing sun is gone When he nothing shines upon Then you show your little light Twinkle, twinkle, all the night Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are!
Then the traveler in the dark Thanks you for your tiny spark He could not see which way to go If you did not twinkle so Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are!
When I Dream Of Old Erin (I'm Dreaming Of You) Composer(s): Marvin Lee; Leo Friedman
When the nightingale's singing its sweet melodies And the scent of the flowers perfumes the night breeze Then I dream of my old home far over the sea By the Lake of Kilarney Where I long to be And I see you, it seems, waiting there on the shore Where together we stray'd in the sweet days of yore I am thinking, tonight, of my Colleen so true When I dream of Old Erin, I'm dreaming of you
I can see the old cottage, just o'er the hill there 'Tis those fond recollections bring happiness rare Sure the lassie I love with a heart that is true She is waiting for someone While someone waits too And my love's growing stronger each day, more and more 'Tis the same old love story that's told o'er and o'er So, -cush-la my Colleen, it seems that you knew When I dream of Old Erin, I'm dreaming of you
When I dream of old Erin I'm dreaming of you With your sweet, roguish smile and your true eyes of blue For my love, like the Shamrock, each day stronger grew When I dream of Old Erin, I'm dreaming of you

When I Dream German Title: Wenn Ich Träum Composer(s): Sandy Mason-Theoret Performer(s): Crystal Gayle; and various other artists
I could have a mansion that is higher than the trees I could have all the gifts I want and never ask please I could fly to Paris, oh, it's at my beck and call Why do I go through life with nothing at all?
But when I dream, I dream of you Maybe someday you will come true
I can be the singer or the clown in every room I can even call someone to take me to the moon I can put my makeup on and drive the men insane I can go to bed alone and never know his name
But when I dream, I dream of you Maybe someday you will come true
But when I dream, I dream of you Maybe someday you will come true

Love, and love alone, the world is seeking For 'tis love, and love alone, that can repay! 'Tis the answer, 'tis the end and all of living For it is love alone that rules for aye!
When I Die Composer(s): William Smith; Steve Kennedy Performer(s): Motherlode
When I die, I hope to be a better man than you thought I´d be It´s been hard to make you see What kind of man I´m trying to be All I ask for you to try to understand what it means to me
It´s not hard to understand why You get discouraged all the time I keep trying not to worry But I can´t help feeling lost in you But I love you, want you and I need you
Time goes by and you´ll find that we´ll achieve a love sublime When I die I hope I´ll be the kind of man you thought I´d be
(Repeat Chorus)
Cause I love you and I want you Cause I gotta, gotta have you Cause, cause I need you When I die, I hope I´ll be the kind of man that you thought I´d be
Ah! Si Vous Connaissiez Ma Poule Composer(s): Charles Borel-Clerc - René Touche - Albert Willemetz Performer(s): Maurice Chevalier and multiple other artists
De Rochechouart jusqu'à Ménilmuche De la rue de Lappe à la rue de la Gaité Ya pas un seul même dans tout Pantruche Qui avec la mienne pourrait lutter De la tête aux pieds quand on l'épluche On ne trouve rien à lui reprocher C'est un oiseau rare Que Roi des veinards J'ai eu le bonheur de dénicher
Ah! si vous connaissiez ma poule Vous en perdriez tous la boule Ses petits seins pervers Qui pointent au travers De son pull-over Vous mettent la tête à l'envers! Elle a des jambes faites au moule Des cheveux fous, frisés partout Et tout et tout... Si vous la voyiez Vous en rêveriez! Ah! si vous connaissiez ma poule
Bien qu'elle s'habille aux prix unique Pas une ne saurait la dégotter Elle dame le pion, elle fait la nique Aux plus fameuses reines de beauté La miss France et la miss Amérique Sont de la crotte de bique à côté Sans diam' et sans clips Elle vous éclips' Toutes les stars les plus réputées
Ah! si vous connaissiez ma poule Vous en perdriez tous la boule Marlène et Darrieux N'arrivent qu'en deux La Greta Garbo Peut même retirer son chapeau! Ils n'en n'ont pas à Liverpoole À New-York, à Honolulu De mieux foutu... Si vous la voyiez Vous en rêveriez! Ah! si vous connaissiez ma poule
Marguerite de Bourgogne auprès d'elle N'avait que nib comme tempérament Il faut l'entendre quand elle appelle Son petit Momo au grand moment Son corps frissonne d'un façon telle Que le maison tremble également Et ça vous explique Les secousses sismiques Dont les journaux parlaient récemment
Ah! si vous connaissiez ma poule Vous en perdriez tous la boule Ses baisers moelleux Font dresser les cheveux Ses baisers profonds Vous font sauter jusqu'au plafond! Si vous saviez comme elle roucoule On l'entend jusqu'au fond de Passy Crier ... chéri! Si vous la voyiez Vous me la chiperiez! Mais... vous ne connaîtrez pas ma poule

Tant que tu t'expliques Avec mon cur et le printemps
Oui mes amis c'est une merveille Oui mes amis c'est une merveille Dès qu'une fée vient se pencher sur ce monde-là Monde-là Au bout d'une baguette magique Sur une symphonie fantastique Elle vous met le cur en musique Mi, sol, fa, sol, mi, la
Dis-moi que tu m'aimes Dis-moi que tu m'aimes Dis-moi que tu m'aimes tant Dis-moi que ce monde Que ce monde est merveilleux Merveilleux Dis-moi que tu chantes Dis-moi que tu danses Dis-moi que tu es content Tant que tu t'expliques Avec mon cur et le printemps
Oui mes amis c'est une merveille Oui mes amis c'est une merveille De traverser la main dans la main ce monde-là Monde-là Oui mes amis c'est une merveille De voir un jour l'amour qui s'éveille Aucune joie n'est jamais pareille Croyez-moi, croyez-moi Quand je vous dis que ce monde est merveilleux
When He's Gone Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Maurice Gibb; Robin Gibb Performer(s): Bee Gees
Stormy nights, I've been waiting Satisfy you, oh yeah But his love is just a game And he's sellng you the same old lies
And I'm hangin' on the wire And no closer to the fire And you don't hear me when I cry
(Chorus) You may need someone to lean upon When he's gone, when he's gone And what is left is a love so strong When he's gone, when he's gone You wouldn't believe to what extent My mind is going to You wouldn't deny me in your dreams You couldn't belong to someone else If you could see me now And I'd be the only one When he's gone
My understanding that you remember For whom the bell tolls, oh yeah I swear to you I pray That you feel the battle rage For the saving of my soul
And it's a struggle to survive You know it's keepin' us alive And baby I don't wanna die
(Chorus) I will be someone you lean upon When he's gone, when he's gone And what is left is a love so strong When he's gone, when he's gone You wouldn't believe to what extent My mind is going to You wouldn't deny me in your dreams You couldn't belong to someone else If you could see me now And I'd be the only one When he's gone
I will be someone you lean upon When he's gone, when he's gone And what is left is a love so strong When he's gone, when he's gone I will be someone you lean upon When he's gone, when he's gone
Don't tell me it's too late And your love don't make me wait I can see the end of time With a love that makes you mine And tonight I let you know There's a love that won't let go
Ah Melody Tu m'en auras fait faire des conneries Hue hue et ho A dada sur mon dos Oh Melody L'amour tu ne sais pas ce que c'est Tu me l'as dit Mais tout ce que tu dis est-il vrai?
Ah Melody Tu m'en auras fait faire des conneries Hue hue et ho A dada sur mon dos Oh Melody Si tu m'as menti j'en ferai Une maladie Je n'sais pas ce que je ferai
When He's All Dolled Up (He's The Best Dressed Rube In Town)
When He's All Dolled Up (He's The Best Dressed Rube In Town) Composer(s): Walter Donaldson; Monty C. Brice
Talk about your Beau Brummels Talk about your city swells We've got one right in our town I mean Elmer Hatchway Brown Folks, I never like to swear But, by heck, I do declare He's the swellest guy I've seen He's like an actor on the movin' picture screen
When he's all dolled up you ought to see him When he's all dolled up He's got a funny little pinch back coat and bamboo cane; Has an umbrella if it's going to rain He's a gosh darn dude, there's no denying From his derby hat right down Always wears a flower in his buttonhole Wears a rubber band around his old bank role
When he's all dolled up you ought to see him He's the best dressed dude in town Down at this year's County Fair Elmer Hatchway Brown was there All dressed up to beat the band The ladies all thought he was grand Stepped right in the betting ring Bet a dime on some darn thing Lost and started in to sing It seemed he didn't give a good gol ding
Ah! Les P'tites Femmes (De Paris) Composer(s): Jean-Claude Carrière - Georges Delerue - Louis Malle Performer(s): Brigitte Bardot & Jeanne Moreau
De deux choses l'une Deux jambes ou deux yeux C'est toujours par deux Qu'on cherche fortune Mais blondes ou brunes À Paris font mieux Une égale deux Et deux n'en font qu'une
Ah les p'tites femmes les p'tites femmes de Paris Ah les p'tites femmes les p'tites femmes de Paris Ah les p'tites femmes les p'tites femmes de Paris
Au clair de la lune Deux curs capricieux Font à qui mieux mieux Maintes infortunes On en invite une Elles viennent à deux On invite les deux Il n'en vient aucune
Ah les p'tites femmes les p'tites femmes de Paris Ah les p'tites femmes les p'tites femmes de Paris Ah les p'tites femmes les p'tites femmes de Paris
J'en multiplie une J'en multiplie deux Ah comme c'est fâcheux Qu'elles sont importunes Dix fois cent fois une C'est trop périlleux Par pitié mon Dieu Qu'il n'en reste aucune
Ah les p'tites femmes les p'tites femmes de Paris Ah les p'tites femmes les p'tites femmes de Paris Ah les p'tites femmes les p'tites femmes de Paris
N'ayez pas d'rancune Vous serez heureux Dites leur adieu Car deux c'est trop d'une La tête y'en n'a qu'une Ah non y'en a deux Pour les amoureux Chacun sa chacune
Ah les p'tites femmes les p'tites femmes de Paris Ah les p'tites femmes les p'tites femmes de Paris Ah les p'tites femmes les p'tites femmes de Paris
When he was young I held him on my knee Pressed him close to me kissed his tears away When he was young very young together we would ween Lands of make believe where we two could play
But how the time hurries by summers go winters fly Toys on the shelf he can reach by himself Time hurries on youth is here then it's gone Yes, that's the plan now my boy's a little man
But in my heart forever he will be As he was to me when he was young...

When Friends Fall Out Composer(s): Randy Bachman; Burton Cummings Performer(s): The Guess Who
The lone wolves howl On Moonlight Bay Dark moon is out When friends fall out When friends fall out
Birds aren't alone You've past all doubts Their world has grown When friends fall out When friends fall out
A journey is plastic for Someone who's walking on air He falls throught elastic and There is no net waiting there And it's so nice to be home again So nice to be home again Where I belong
No night, no day No in, no out No work, no play When friends fall out When friends fall out (listen to me talkin') When friends fall out (Baby, you got nothin') When friends fall out And it's so nice to be home again So nice to be ome again Where I belong
