Zoals het eenmaal is geweest Zo zal het nooit meer zijn Al hou ik nog van jou het meest Al zal er nooit een ander zijn
Zoals het eenmaal is geweest Zo zal het nooit meer zijn Al hou ik nog van jou het meest Al zal er nooit een ander zijn
Wij waren nog maar zestien jaar Maar hielden dolveel van elkaar De zon scheen helder boven ons bestaan Na d' eerste kus in 't lentegroen Na d' eerste zucht in 't naseizoen Viel in mijn hart de eerste liefdetraan
Zoals het eenmaal is geweest Zo zal het nooit meer zijn Al hou ik nog van jou het meest Al zal er nooit een ander zijn
Het is niet waar wat men beweert Na regen zonneschijn Zoals het eenmaal is geweest Zo zal het nooit meer zijn Al hoor ik weer een liefdeslied De noten zijn dezelfde niet Het klinkt niet meer zo vrolijk zoals toen Al kwam de lente stralend weer De kleuren zijn zo mooi niet meer Want wat een keer vervaagt Wordt nooit meer groen
Zoals het eenmaal is geweest Zo zal het nooit meer zijn Al hou ik nog van jou het meest Al zal er nooit een ander zijn
Zoals het eenmaal is geweest Zo zal het nooit meer zijn Al hou ik nog van jou het meest Al zal er nooit een ander zijn

Another op'nin', another Show Another op'nin', another show In Philly, Boston or Baltimoe A chance for stagefolks to say "hello" Another op'nin', another show
Another job that you hope, at last Will make your future forget your past Another pain where the ulcers grow Another op'nin', another show
For weeks, you rehearse and rehearse Three weeks and it couldn't be worse One week, will it ever be right? Then out o' the hat, it's that big first night!
The overture is about to start You cross your fingers and hold your heart It's curtain time and away we go Another op'nin', another show

The overture is about to start You cross your fingers and hold your heart It's curtain time and away we go Another op'nin', just another op'nin', of another show!
Dear Mom, the weather today was cloudy and damp Your package arrived but was missing a stamp Your cake made a hit with all the boys in the camp How they love it, Dear Mom
The food is okay, don't worry your head I sleep pretty well but I miss my old bed And oh how I wish they'd make this Army co-ed Still I love it
If you should run into A certain you-know-who Please do this for me Give her a kiss for me Tell her to write me Nightly
Dear Mom, that's all for tonight, the bugle just blew Tomorrow's a big day with plenty to do I like it here but I'm kind of homesick for you For I love you, Dear Mom
I like it here but I'm kind of homesick for you For I love you, Dear Mom

Ridin' in a bus down the boulevard And the place was pretty packed! Couldn't find a seat, so I had to stand With the perverts in the back! It was smellin' like a locker room There was junk all over the floor! We're already packed in like sardines But we're stoppin' to pick up more! Look out!
Another one rides the bus-ah! Another one rides the bus-ah! And another comes on And another comes on! Another one rides the bus! Hey! He's gonna sit by you! Another one rides the bus!
There's a suitcase pokin' me in the ribs There's an elbow in my ear! There's a smelly old bum standin' next to me Hasn't showered in a year! Well, I think I'm missin' a contact lens And I think my wallet's gone! And I think this bus is stoppin' again To let a couple more freaks get on! Look out!
Another one rides the bus-ah! Another one rides the bus-ah! And another comes on And another comes on! Another one rides the bus! Hey! He's gonna sit by you! Another one rides the bus!
(Yeh!) Huh ah huh ah huh ah huh ah!
Another one rides the bus Another one rides the bus-ow! Another one rides the bus-hey, hey! Another one rides the bus-hey-y-y-y!
The window doesn't open, and the fan is broke And my face is turnin' blue! (yeh!) I haven't been in a crowd like this Since I went to see The Who! Well, I should'a got off a couple miles ago But I couldn't get to the door! There isn't any room for me to breathe! Now we're gonna pick up more, yeah!
Another one rides the bus-ah! Another one rides the bus-ah! And another comes on And another comes on! Another one rides the bus! Hey! He's gonna sit by you! Another one rides the bus!
Dear Landlord

Dear landlord Please don't put a price on my soul My burden is heavy My dreams are beyond control When that steamboat whistle blows I'm gonna give you all I got to give And I do hope you receive it well Depending on the way you feel that you live
Dear landlord Please heed these words that I speak I know you've suffered much But in this you are not so unique Each of us, at times, we might work too hard To have it too fast and too much And anyone who fills his life up With things he can see but he just cannot touch
Dear landlord Please don't dismiss my case I'm not about to argue I'm not about to move to no other place Each of us, he has his own special gifts And you know this was meant to be true And if you don't underestimate me I won't underestimate you

Ooh, let's go Steve walks warily down the street With the brim pulled way down low Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet Machine guns ready to go

Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust And another one gone and another one gone Another one bites the dust, eh Hey, I'm gonna get you too Another one bites the dust
How do you think I'm going to get along Without you when you're gone You took me for everything that I had And kicked me out on my own
Are you happy? Are you satisfied? How long can you stand the heat Out of the doorway the bullets rip To the sound of the beat Look out
Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust And another one gone and another one gone Another one bites the dust, eh Hey, I'm gonna get you too Another one bites the dust
Hey Oh take it Bites the dust - bite the dust hey Hey Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust, ow Another one bites the dust, hey hey Another one bites the dust, heeey Ooh show down
There are plenty of ways that you can hurt a man And bring him to the ground You can beat him You can cheat him You can treat him bad and leave him When he's down, yeah But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you I'm standing on my own two feet Out of the doorway the bullets rip Repeating to the sound of the beat Oh yeah
Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust And another one gone and another one gone Another one bites the dust, yeah Hey, I'm gonna get you too Another one bites the dust Shoot out Hey, alright

C´mon latino a bailar esta cumbia es la clicka que tu alma inunda juro que nunca he comido un ladrillo porque soy cruza de perra, de potrillo
No tengo historia en conversar con tus piernas siempre que ellas me muestran su belleza tengo un terreno en la re-a-leza tengo la gloria, no he besado a la reina
Por que al decir no va mas me entregas un lugar Donde respirar, es elemental yea, si el cosmos es muerte no quiero hacer el equivalente a un alma que esta viva pero solo por suerte...
Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust and another one bites and another one bites Another one bites the dust
Si me ves caminando no me detengas no me interesa lo que quieras que sepa Llevo tatuada la vida doblada de vidas, partidas esperando el alba y nunca aparecio cielo se cerraba cada vez que sueñan con mi gente era enterrada
un angel de luz me guia por el camino dejo caer en el roño destino destruir al mito de que tu eras la reina no aspiro a ser esclavo de esa mierda juro que nunca he comido un ladrillo soy la pared mas metal que tu has visto
nunca he sufrido algo de tu castigo puedo volar con solo comer higos (bueno polaco todo comprendido) asi soy yo, no le pido nada al olmo no por eso te digo que otro muerde el polvo
Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust and another one bites and another one bites Another one bites the dust
Despierto de un mal sueño donde yo era peor quedando en tu culo subiendome al monton
de mujeres, yeah, todas para mi desnudas en mi cama y que aparezca al fin!

Well when I woke up this mornin' There was a note upon my door Said don't make me no coffee Babe 'cause I won't be back no more And that's all she wrote, Dear John I've sent your saddle home
Now Jonah got along in the belly of the whale Daniel in the lion's den But I know a guy that didn't try to get along And he won't get a chance again And that's all she wrote, Dear John I've fetched your saddle home
Now she didn't forward no address Nor she didn't say goodbye All she said was if you get blue Just hang your little head and cry And that's all she wrote, Dear John I've sent your saddle home
Now my gal's short and stubby She's strong as she can be But if that little old gal of mine Ever get's a-hold of me That's all she wrote, Dear John I've sent your saddle home
Now Jonah got along in the belly of the whale Daniel in the lion's den But I know a man that didn't try to get along And he won't get a chance again And that's all she wrote, Dear John I've fetched your saddle home
Now I went down to the bank this morning The cashier said with a grin I feel so sorry for you Hank But your wife has done been in And that's all she wrote, Dear John I've sent your saddle home
Nummer Eén Composer(s): Walter Grootaers - Imants Performer(s): De Kreuners
Ik wou altijd al nummer 1 zijn Maar er aan denken alleen al deed zon pijn Maar nu, nu kom ik er aan Nu is er de chip en word ik nummer 1 Dank zij de chip word ik nummer 1
Vreemde talen waren altijd een probleem Dank zij dat ding worden zij nu mijn embleem Nu is het dans la poche Nu is er de chip en word ik nummer 1 Dankzij de chip word ik nummer 1
Mijn IQ is beneden alle peil Een chip kost geld maar het geeft je dan ook stijl Nu stijgt mijn geld ten top Nu en chip en word ik nummer 1 Dank zij de chip word ik nummer 1
Chip maak me vrij Chip maak me blij
Mijn geheugen was altijd één grote zeef Elektronica zet het weer op safe Nu, nu kom ik er aan Nu en chip en word ik nummer 1 Dank zij de chip word ik nummer 1
Heel de toekomst die is nu voor mij Want het verleden dat is allang voorbij Nu gaat alles als vanzelf Nu en chip en word ik nummer 1 Dank zij de chip word ik nummer 1
Dear Hearts And Gentle People

I love those dear hearts and gentle people Who live in my home town Because those dear hearts and gentle people Will never ever let you down
They read the good Book from Fri' till Monday That's how the weekend goes I've got a dream house I'll build there one day With picket fence and ramblin' rose
I feel so welcome each time that I return That my happy heart keeps laughin' like a clown I love the dear hearts and gentle people Who live and love in my home town
There's a place I'd like to go and it's Batten, Idaho Where your friendly neighbors smile and say "Hello" It's a pleasure and a treat to meander down the street That's why I want the whole wide world to know
I love those dear hearts and gentle people Who live in my home town Because those dear hearts and gentle people Will never ever let you down

Je ne sais pas si vous êtes comme moi Mais chaque fois ça me met en joie D'écouter jouer sur un crin-crin Un vieil air du folklore américain
Aussitôt je me vois déjà Au fin fond de l'Arizona Affublée d'un grand chapeau Et grattant sur un vieux banjo
Woh Ring ding ding
L'Amérique ça me fait rêver Et pourtant je n'y suis jamais allée Mais je connais tous les refrains Tous les airs du folklore américain
Et je sais qu'un jour viendra Où j'irai faire un tour là bas Pour pouvoir danser aussi Comme les filles du Tennessee
Woh Ring ding ding
Si un jour un garçon me plaît Les premiers temps je lui demanderai Si comme moi il aime bien Les vieux airs du folklore américain
S'il dit oui c'est merveilleux Nous pourrons rêver tous les deux Qu'on se promène dans la nuit Sous les étoiles de la Virginie
Woh Ring ding ding
Et plus tard si nous nous marions C'est pas Venise que nous choisirons Car les gondoles ça ne vaut rien Pour les airs du folklore américain
Je voudrais tellement qu'il soit Aussi sentimental que moi Au bord du Mississipi Nous pourrions passer notre vie
Woh Ring ding ding Ring ding ding car j'aime bien Le folklore américain Ring ding ding car j'aime bien Le folklore américain Ring ding ding car j'aime bien Le folklore américain Ring ding ding car j'aime bien Le folklore américain
Dear Elaine Composer(s): Roy Wood Performer(s): Roy Wood
My dear Elaine, may I see you again? For I've loved you and I hope to be forgiven It's been a cold night How I long to see the light To have you there, to feel your hair
Dear Elaine, will it still be the same? From the gateway to your arms I am forbidden It's been a cold night Need the love that burns so bright To have you there, to feel your hair
Thoughts that once remained discreet Fall like servants at your feet Ah ah ah
Come here, Elaine, please attend to the pain Please relieve the darkened clouds of evening Prayers I could say How you swept them all away I can't believe you chose to leave
God that wears a sallow face Seems to put me in my place Ah ah ah
Dear Elaine, will it still be the same? Now the house of spirit crumbles For your love wears many gowns Love has risen, it has stumbled Dear Elaine, why should you wish to leave?
Dear Elaine, may I see you again For I've loved you and I hope to be forgiven It's been a cold night How I long to see the light To have you there, to feel your hair Dear Elaine
Another Nail In My Heart Composer(s): Chris Difford - Glenn Tilbrook Performer(s): Squeeze
The case was pulled from under the bed She made a call to a sympathetic friend And made arrangements
The door was closed, there was a note I couldn't be bothered Maybe I'll choke, no more engagements
With "where-have-you-beens?" And far away frowns Trying to be good by not being 'round And here in the bar The piano man's found Another nail for my heart
That stupid old bug That kills only love I want to be good Is that not enough?
So play me the song That makes it so tough Another nail for my heart Then play me the song That makes it so tough Another nail for my heart
I had excuses, those little boy lies That she computed by watching my eyes And told me firmly
She couldn't stand it, I'm bad on her heart She dropped her make-up and I found the bar Now it concerns me
I've had a bad time Now love is resigned I've been such a fool I've loved and goodbyed
So here in the bar The piano man's found Another nail for my heart And here in the bar The piano man's found Another nail for my heart

Oh help me, please doctor, I'm damaged There's a pain where there once was a heart It's sleepin, it's a beatin' Can't ya please tear it out, and preserve it Right there in that jar?
Oh help me, please mama, I'm sick'ning It's today that's the day of the plunge Oh the gal I'm to marry Is a bow-legged sow I've been soakin' up drink like a sponge
"Don't ya worry, get dressed," cried my mother As she plied me with bourbon so sour Pull your socks up, put your suit on Comb your long hair down, For you will be wed in the hour
So help me, please doctor, I'm damaged There's a pain where there once was a heart I'm sleepin, it's a beatin' Can't ya please take it out, and preserve it Right there in that jar?
Oh help me, please doctor, I'm damaged There's a pain where there once was a heart It's sleepin, it's a beatin' Can't ya please tear it out, and preserve it Right there in that jar?
I was tremblin', as I put on my jacket It had creases as sharp as a knife I put the ring in my pocket But there was a note And my heart it jumped into my mouth
It read, "Darlin', I'm sorry to hurt you. But I have no courage to speak to your face But I'm down in Virginia with your cousin Lou There be no wedding today"
So help me, please doctor, I'm damaged You can put back my heart in its hole Oh mama, I'm cryin' Tears of relief And my pulse is now under control
