Ana Ariki Composer(s): Fernando Ubiergo Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo
Cuenta la leyenda que una noche sin estrellas Ana Ariki de la isla se marchó y le dijo a Tongaroki espera volveré algún día volveré
Tongaroki, como un loco, corre por la playa de Anakena tras la huella que ella le dejó al partir Tongaroki sabe que ella nunca volverá que otro mundo fue a buscar
Ana Ariki volverá, Ana Ariki por el mar Make Make la traerá a la isla llegará Ana Ariki hokiro mai Ana Ariki aroto i te vai Make Make e mauro mai qui Rapa Nui tu uro mai
Con sus manos rudas y con materia del volcán una figura de piedra le construyó porque todo el tiempo las piedras pueden esperar pero no un corazón
Y una tarde de invierno sólo se le vio alejarse entre las olas como persiguiendo al sol y en la isla queda una silueta sin hablar cuerpo de piedra ojos de sal
Ana Ariki volverá, Ana Ariki por el mar Make Make la traerá a la isla llegará Ana Ariki hokiro mai Ana Ariki aroto i te vai Make Make e mauro mai qui Rapa Nui tu uro mai
Dancin' Shoes Composer(s): Carl Storie Performer(s): Nigel Olsson
Too many long converstaions And no one is hearing a word Just trying to escape the frustrations Till a song in the night can be heard
Put on your dancin' shoes Throw out those one night blues Here's one to love and to chance For a spin on that wheel of romance
Too slow to unriddle all your problems Too lonely for someone to care Long, lonely silence keeps haunting Till the song in the night finds you there
Put on your dancin' shoes Throw out those one night blues And here's one to love and to chance For a spin on that wheel Spin on that wheel Spin on that wheel of romance
A face like an angel, she's waiting She smiles and looks over at you You yearn for this situation Now finally your dreams have come true
Put on your dancin' shoes Sweep her away with you 'Cause here's one to love and to share Caught on that wheel Caught on that wheel Caught on that wheel of romance
Put on your dancin' shoes Put on your dancin' shoes Sweep her away with you Put on your dancin' shoes Sweep her away with you You, you, oh, you
Put on your dancin' shoes Put on your dancin' shoes
An Old Straw Hat From the film "Rebecca Of Sunnybrook Farm" (1938) Composer(s): Harry Revel - Mack Gordon Performer(s): Shirley Temple; Bunny Berigan & His Orch.; Maria Muldaur
What is all this dizzy busy hustling for People running helter-skelter on their way What is all this hazy crazy bustling for No time to notice it's a sunny day
Why don't you take a vacation Looks like you've got to have relaxation Aw, come on, forget your troubles for a while Why don't you try to feel like I do
If I had one wish to make This is the wish I would choose I'd want an old straw hat A suit of overalls And a worn out pair of shoes
Just let me roam around Laughing at big city blues With an old straw hat A suit of overalls And a worn out pair of shoes
Howdy, Mister Brown Ho-hum! Goin' fishin'? Hope you get a bite Howdy Mister Jones! Ho-hum! How's about a hay ride Saturday night?
Sing hi-ho the merri-o What've you got, what've you got to lose Get an old straw hat A suit of overalls And a worn out pair of shoes

An Old Log Cabin For Sale Composer(s): J.W. Payte Performer(s): Porter Wagoner; Marvin Gaster
While strolling along in the country Reviewing the scenes new and old I found an old-fashioned log cabin So beautiful there to behold; A stranger was standing in silence His eyes firmly fixed on the door My heart ached (in pity) or (and pitied) to see him For these were the words that it bore
And the sign read "An old cabin for sale An old oaken bucket and well" F'he returns, just keep a log on the fire And a light burning bright in the dell Many years an old couple did patiently look
(so patiently looked) For their boy whose last promise did fail Now the old rockin' chair will be rocking no more There's an old log cabin for sale
A welcome I read on the floor mat An old braided rug by the door The hands of an angel had made it With many a prayer prayed before In an old rockin' chair, long she waited For one glimpse of him how she yearned And now he was standing in silence Too late, yes, too late he'd returned
And the sign read "An old cabin for sale An old oaken bucket and well" F'he returns, just keep a log on the fire And a light burning bright in the dell Many years an old couple did patiently look
Just an Old Fashioned Love Song ((aka An Old Fashioned Love Song (by Three Dog Night) - 1971)) Composer(s): Paul Williams First release by: Paul Williams - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists
Just an old-fashioned love song playin' on the radio And wrapped around the music is the sound Of someone promising they'll never go You swear you've heard it before As it slowly rambles on and on No need in bringin' `em back, `Cause they're never really gone
Just an old-fashioned love song One I'm sure they wrote for you and me Just an old-fashioned love song Comin' down in 3-part harmony
To weave our dreams upon and listen to each evening When the lights are low To underscore our love affair With tenderness and feeling that we've come to know You swear you've heard it before As it slowly rambles on and on and No need in bringin' `em back, `Cause they're never really gone
Just an old-fashioned love song Comin' down in 3-part harmony Just an old-fashioned love song One I'm sure they wrote for you and me Just an old-fashioned love song Comin' down in 3-part harmony Just an old-fashioned love song One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
To weave our dreams upon and listening to a song ...
Dancin' Fool Composer(s): Burton Cummings; Domenic Troiano Performer(s): The Guess Who
It was a Saturday night without a whole lot shakin' Ooh my ooh my I was bored I had my best duds on it was a chance worth takin' somehow I was still ignored

Been too long since I been shy and lonely Now I'm a Dancin' Fool (I'm a dancin' fool I'm a dancer)
An Old English Dream Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid Performer(s): Procol Harum
They say this fair city has ten thousand souls Some live in mansions And some live in holes Some eat from silver And some eat from gold Some sift through garbage And sleep in the cold
I saw a great highway that stretched to the stars I saw a deep river all choked up with cars A babe in a cradle and a cat with the cream An old English church yard and an old English dream
Once we had a country And thought it so fair If you look through the mirror You can still find it there But now our great country Is broken and torn And all of its promise And liberties worn
I saw a great highway that stretched to the stars I saw a deep river all choked up with cars A babe in a cradle and a cat with the cream An old English church yard and an old English dream
I saw a great plain in winter All covered in snow Ten thousand soldiers That marched to and fro I saw a broken down building With ten thousand doors But none of them open And none of them yours
I saw a great highway that stretched to the stars I saw a deep river all choked up with cars A babe in a cradle and a cat with the cream An old English church yard and an old English dream

Es war so ein Tag wie jeder andere und doch mir schien daß er ganz anders war denn du und ich wir gingen durch den Frühling und ringsum war die Welt so wunderbar
An jenem Tag mein Freund da haben wir gemeint die Zeit blieb stehn allein nur für uns zwei doch ehe wir nachgedacht und alles wahrgemacht da war der Tag für uns schon längst vorbei
La, la...
Und der Sommer kam ins Lamd gezogen und es war ein langer heißer Tag doch für mich ist er so schnell verflogen als ich mit dir im Grase lag
An jenem Tag mein Freund da haben wir gemeint die Zeit blieb stehn allein nur für uns zwei doch ehe wir nachgedacht und alles wahrgemacht da war der Tag für uns schon längst vorbei
La, la...
Und es wurde Herbst licht sind die Bäume und mir blieb der Blumen welker Rest verweht sind mit dem Wind auch unsere Träume und keiner von uns beiden hielt sie fest
An jenem Tag mein Freund da haben wir gemeint die Zeit blieb stehn allein nur für uns zwei doch ehe wir nachgedacht und alles wahrgemacht da war der Tag für uns schon längst vorbei
La, la...
Es war so ein Tag wie jeder andere und doch ich weiß es gibt ihn niemals mehr denn für alles was wir heut versäumen gibt es morgen keine Wiederkehr
An jenem Tag mein Freund da haben wir gemeint die Zeit blieb stehn allein nur für uns zwei doch ehe wir nachgedacht und alles wahrgemacht da war die Zeit für uns schon längst vorbei
Dancer With Bruised Knees Composer(s): Anna McGarrigle Performer(s): Kate & Anna McGarrigle
When I first knew her she was a dancer She'd leap (confidently) Knowing that should she fall It would be into the arms of her partner She never failed to get a curtain call
For years we had been one with the stars A Pas de Deux of reknown I'd leap and he'd catch me on the fly And gently he'd put me down
The heights that I reached were dangerous And I saw my partner strain And felt when I had landed His strength was on the wane
Back before my knees were blue Backs broke bending in a step for two
For years we had been one with the stars A Pas de Deux of reknown I'd leap and he'd catch me on the fly But once I came crashing down
Now I'm a weaver Wall-hangings if you please In everyone I feature A dancer with bruised knees

Dans une taverne du vieux Londres Où se retrouvaient des étrangers Nos voix criblées de joie montaient de l'ombre Et nous écoutions nos curs chanter C'était le temps des fleurs On ignorait la peur Les lendemains avaient un goût de miel Ton bras prenait mon bras Ta voix suivait ma voix On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel La, la, la... On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel
Et puis sont venus les jours de brume Avec des bruits étranges et des pleurs Combien j'ai passé de nuits sans lune À chercher la taverne dans mon cur Tout comme au temps des fleurs Où l'on vivait sans peur Où chaque jour avait un goût de miel Ton bras prenait mon bras Ta voix suivait ma voix On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel La, la, la .... On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel
Je m'imaginais chassant la brume Je croyais pouvoir remonter le temps Et je m'inventais des clairs de lune Où tous deux nous chantions comme avant C'était le temps des fleurs On ignorait la peur Les lendemains avaient un goût de miel Ton bras prenait mon bras Ta voix suivait ma voix On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel La, la, la .... On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel
Et ce soir je suis devant la porte De la taverne où tu ne viendras plus Et la chanson que la nuit m'apporte Mon cur déjà ne la connaît plus C'était le temps des fleurs On ignorait la peur Les lendemains avait un goût de miel Ton bras prenait mon bras Ta voix suivait ma voix On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel La la la... On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel

Fix the chassis "How do you do!" Life turned into an Endless medley of "Gee, it had to be you" Why?

It's a gas! Just a dash of silicone Shake your new maracas and your fine! Tits and ass can change your life They sure changed mine!
Val: You're all looking at my tits now, aren't you?
Sheila: They aren't that big
Val: I heard that, you bitch I didn't want 'em like yours I wanted them in proportion
Sheila: Well, you got what you paid for
Connie: I wouldn't mind having just one of yours
Val: Well go out and buy 'em
Have it all done! Honey, take my word Grab a cab, c'mon See the wizard on Park and Seventy-Third For

Those Were The Days Composer(s): Boris Fomit - Konstantin Podnevsky - Gene Raskin Performer(s): The Limeliters - 1962 and multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages: 1968 - Le Temps Des Fleurs (Dalida) 1968 - An Jenem Tag (Dalida) 1968 - Quelli Erano I Giorni (Gigliola Cinquetti) 1968 - De Glade År (Gitte Hænning) 1993 - Dit Is Vast Weer Zo'n Dag (Sandra Kim) 1993 - Il Faut S'aimer Plus Fort (Sandra Kim)
Once upon a time there was a tavern Where we used to raise a glass or two Remember how we laughed away the hours And dreamed of all the great things we would do
Those were the days my friend We thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd live the life we choose We'd fight and never lose For we were young and sure to have our way La la la la... Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
Then the busy years went rushing by us We lost our starry notions on the way If by chance I'd see you in the tavern We'd smile at one another and we'd say
Those were the days my friend We thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd live the life we choose We'd fight and never lose For we were young and sure to have our way La la la la... Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
Just tonight I stood before the tavern Nothing seemed the way it used to be In the glass I saw a strange reflection Was that lonely woman really me
Those were the days my friend We thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd live the life we choose We'd fight and never lose For we were young and sure to have our way La la la la... Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
Through the door there came familiar laughter I saw your face and heard you call my name Oh my friend we're older but no wiser For in our hearts the dreams are still the same
Those were the days my friend We thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd live the life we choose We'd fight and never lose For we were young and sure to have our way La la la la... Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

An Irishman's Idea Of Love Composer(s): Allan Roberts - Doris Fisher Performer(s): The Happy Gang Orch.
When a Frenchman is courting a mademoiselle He takes her to dinner at some fine hotel He spends all the salary he worked for that week And if he is lucky, he kisses her cheek
But an Irishman's idea of love Is to meet the girl he's dreamin' of Compliment her eyes of blue And the divil if he doesn't mean it too
Fills her full of a line of blarney That he learned in ole Killarney Gets the kiss so easily That cost the poor Frenchman his week's salary
