Mamma English & French Titles: Mama; Maman Composer(s): Cesare Andrea Bixio; Bruno Cherubini Performer(s): Beniamino Gigli and various other artists
Mamma, son tanto felice perché ritorno da te La mia canzone ti dice ch'è il più bel sogno per me! Mamma son tanto felice... Viver lontano perché?
Mamma, solo per te la mia canzone vola mamma, sarai con me, tu non sarai più sola! Quanto ti voglio bene! Queste parole d'amore che ti sospira il mio cuore forse non s'usano più, mamma! ma la canzone mia più bella sei tu! Sei tu la vita e per la vita non ti lascio mai più!
Sento la mano tua stanca cerca i miei riccioli d'or Sento, e la voce ti manca la ninna nanna d'allor Oggi la testa tua bianca io voglio stringere al cuor
Mamma, solo per te la mia canzone vola mamma, sarai con me, tu non sarai più sola! Quanto ti voglio bene! Queste parole d'amore che ti sospira il mio cuore forse non s'usano più, mamma! ma la canzone mia più bella sei tu! Sei tu la vita e per la vita non ti lascio mai più! Mamma... mai più!

È bruciato anche l'ultimo fiore grigio fumo è il colore del sole sono solo in un mondo che tace finalmente è scoppiata la pace aspettavo che venisse il momento ora parlo solamente col vento finalmente questo mondo è più bello il fratello più non odia il fratello Cosa farò non lo so cosa dirò niente, niente, niente Son salito su di un tram che non parte sto seduto come sempre in disparte non mi piace tutto quello che dico ho paura io mi sento nemico Cosa farò non lo so cosa dirò niente, niente, niente
Mamy Blue Composer(s): Hubert Giraud Originally performed by: Nicoletta Covered by various other artists
Oh Mamy, oh mamy blue Oh Mamy blue Oh Mamy blue Ou es tu, ou es tu mamy blue Oh mamy blue Je suis partie un soir d'été
Sans dire un mot sans t'embrasser Sans un regard sur le passé Dès que j'ai franchi la frontière Le vent soufflait plus fort qu'hier Quand j'étais près de toi ma mère
Oh Mamy, oh mamy blue Oh Mamy blue Oh Mamy blue Ou es tu, ou es tu mamy blue Oh mamy blue
Et aujourd'hui je reviens Ou j'ai refait tout le chemin Qui m'avait entraîne si loin Tu n'es plus la pour me sourire Me réchauffer me recueillir Et je n'ai plus qu'a repartir
Oh Mamy, oh mamy blue Oh Mamy blue Oh Mamy blue Ou es tu, ou es tu mamy blue Oh mamy blue La maison a ferme ses yeux Le chat et les chiens sont très vieux Et ils viennent me dire adieu Je ne reviendrai plus jamais Dans ce village que j'aimais Ou tu reposes désormais

Don't worry, I won't hurt U
I only want U 2 have some fun

19th Nervous Breakdown Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards Performer(s): The Rolling Stones
You're the kind of person you meet at certain Dismal, dull affairs Center of the crowd, talkin' much too loud Runnin' up and down the stairs
Well it seems to me that you have seen Too much in too few years And though you try you just can't hide Your eyes are edged with tears
{Refrain} You better stop and look around Here it comes, here it comes Here it comes, here it comes Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown
{Repeatable verses} When you were a child you were treated kind But never brought up right And you were always spoiled with a thousand toys But still you cried all night Your mother who neglected you Owes a million dollars tax And your father's still perfecting ways Of making sealing wax
{Refrain}
{Bridge} Oh, who's to blame That girl's just insane Well nothin' I do don't seem to work It only seems to make matters worse Oh, please
Well, you were still in school when you had that fool Who really messed your mind And after that you turned your back On treating people kind
On our first trip I tried so hard To rearrange your mind But after a while I realized You were disarranging mine
{Refrain, Bridge}
{Repeatable verses}
You will stop and look around Here it comes Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown
M'amie Composer(s): Robert Chabrier; Jo Moutet Performer(s): Georges Guétary
Quand tu viens vers moi abandonnée m'amie Je t'ouvre les bras pour t'embrasser m'amie Et nous restons là sans nous parler heureux Amoureux nous dévorant des yeux Tout pourrait sombrer autour de nous m'amie L'univers entier ne compterait plus m'amie Puisque notre amour est plus grand chaque jour J'ai mon paradis quand j'ai tes yeux m'amie
M'amie... m'amie...
Regarde les fleurs elles sont jolies m'amie Elles ont un cur et toi aussi m'amie Mais quand le jour meurt elles vont se cacher Pour pleurer des larmes de rosée Comme elles nous envient car nous avons m'amie Le jour et la nuit pour nous aimer m'amie Puisqu'on est si bien, jusqu'au petit matin Reste dans mes bras on s'aimera On s'aimera m'amie
Mami Composer(s): Adrian Abonizio Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Mami que lástima no pueda llorar me enseñaron que la tristeza no hay que mostrar Mami que lástima no pueda cantar cantando uno aleja la locura de los otros los que te enseñan sis saber
Mami que lástima la lástima del fin debe haber una medida que soporte el corazón y no tengamos que esperar Mami, te enseñaron con sentencias, cordenadas, ordenadas con florcitas dibujadas en cuadernos Rivadavia Mami, ya no creo en nada
Mami hubo una luna de invierno, la gomina para el pelo las escarchas en el cielo y la noche el misterio de unos cuerpos Mami te trajeron de una isla, te educaron bajo el sol luego el mundo se complica y ya nadie te lo explica por eso es que algunas noches yo te escucho murmurar por eso es que algunas noches yo te escucho que rezás diciendo Mami
Gooch's Song Composer(s): Jerry Herman Performer(s): Jane Connell
Agnes Gooch: With my wings resolutely spread, Missis Burnside And my old inhibitions shed, Missis Burnside I did each little thing you said, Missis Burnside I lived! I lived! I lived! I altered the drape of a drop of my bodice And softened the shape of my brow I followed directions And made some connections But what do I do now? Who'd think this Miss Prim would have opened a window As far as her whim would allow And who would suppose it was so hard to close it Oh, what do I do now? I polished and I powdered and puffed myself If life is a banquet I stuffed myself I had my misgivings, but went on a field trip To find out what living's about My thanks for your training Now I'm not complaining But you left something out! Instead of wand'ring on with my lone remorse I have come back home to complete the course Oh, what do I do now? Missis Burnside I traveled to hell in my new veneer And look what I got as a souvenir But still I'll defend you As guide and instructor Would I recommend you and how Although I was leery, I thrived on your theory That life can be a wow! You said there's nothing wrong with a harmless smooch So I'm gonna call him Burnside Gooch But what do I do now?
Bosom Buddies Composer(s): Jerry Herman Performer(s): Angela Lansbury and various other artists
Vera and Mame: We'll always be bosom buddies Friends, sisters and pals We'll always be bosom buddies If life should reject you There's me to protect you
Vera: If I say that your tongue is vicious
Mame: If I call you uncouth
Vera and Mame: It's simply that who else but a bosom buddy Will sit down and tell you the truth
Vera: Tho' now and again I'm aware that my candid opinion may sting
Mame: Tho' often my frank observation might scald I've been meanin' to tell you for years You should keep your hair natural like mine
Vera: If I kept my hair natural like yours, I'd be bald But darling
Vera and Mame We'll always be dear companions
Vera: My crony
Mame: My mate
Vera and Mame: We'll always be harmonizing
Vera: Orphan Annie and Sandy
Vera and Mame: Like Amos and Andy
Vera: If I say that your sense of style's as far as off as your youth It's simply that who else but a bosom buddy Will tell you the whole stinkin' truth
Mame: Each time that a critic has written, "Your voice is the voice of a frog!" Straight to your side to defend you I rush You know that I'm there ev'ry time that the world makes an unkind remark When they say "Vera Charles is the world's greatest lush!" It hurts me!
Vera: And if I say your fangs are showing Mame, pull in your claws It's simply that who else but a bosom buddy Will notice the obvious flaws!
Mame: I feel it's my duty to tell you it's time to adjust to your age You try to be "Peg O' My Heart", when you're "Lady Macbeth" Exactly how old are you, Vera? The truth!
Vera: Well, how old do you think?
Mame: I'd say somewhere in between forty and the death!
Vera and Mame: But sweetie
Vera: I'll always be Alice Toklas If you'll be Gertrude Stein And tho' I'll admit I've dished you I've gossiped and gloated But I'm so devoted
Mame: And if I say that sex and guts made you into a star It's simply that who else but a bosom buddy Will tell you how rotten you are
Vera and Mame: Just turn your bosom buddy For aid and affection For help and direction For loyalty, love and for sooth! Remember that who else but a bosom buddy Will sit down and level And give you the devil, Will sit down and tell you the truth!
Mame Composer(s): Jerry Herman Originally performed by: Charles Braswell Covered by various other artists
Chorus: You coax the blues right out of the horn, Mame You charm the husk right off of the corn, Mame You've got that banjoes strummin' And plunkin' out a tune to beat the band The whole plantation's hummin' Since you brought Dixie back to Dixie land You make the cotton easy to pick, Mame You give my old mint julep a kick, Mame Who ever thought a Yankee would put A little Dixie mouse to shame You've made us feel alive again You've given us the drive again To make the South revive again, Mame
Beauregard Burnside: You've brought the cake-walk back into style, Mame You make the weepin' willow tree smile, Mame Your skin is Dixie satin There's rebel in your manner and your speech You may be from Manhattan But Georgia never had a sweeter peach
All: You make our black-eyed peas and our grits, Mame Seem like the bill of fare at the Ritz, Mame You came, you saw, you conquered And absolutely nothing is the same You're special fascination'll prove to be inspirational We think you're just sensational, Mame Since you brought Dixie back to Dixie land Since you brought Dixie back to Dixie land You coax the blues right out of the horn, Mame You charm the husk right off of the corn, Mame You've got that banjoes strummin' And plunkin' out a tune to beat the band The whole plantation's hummin' Since you brought Dixie back to Dixie land You make the cotton easy to pick, Mame You give my old mint julep a kick, Mame Who ever thought a Yankee would put A little Dixie mouse to shame You've made us feel alive again You've given us the drive again To make the South revive again, Mame Mame! Mame! Mame! Mame!

Open A New Window Composer(s): Jerry Herman Originally performed by: Angela Lansbury Covered by various other artists
Mame: Open a new window Open a new door Travel a new highway That's never been tried before Before you find you're a dull fellow Punching the same clock Walking the same tight rope As everyone on the block The fellow you ought to be is three dimensional Soaking up life down to your toes Whenever they say you're slightly unconventional Just put your thumb up to your nose And show 'em how to dance to a new rhythm Whistle a new song Toast with a new vintage The fizz doesn't fizz too long There's only one way to make the bubbles stay Simply travel a new high way Dance to a new rhythm Open a new window ev'ry day! If you follow your Auntie Mame I'll make this vow, my little love That on the last day of your life You'll be smiling the same young smile You're smiling now, my little love If you wake up ev'ry mornin' And you pull aside the shutter And you promise me that these'll be The first words that you utter Open a new window Open a new door Travel a new highway That's never been tried before Before you find you're a dull fellow Punching the same clock Walking the same tight rope As everyone on the block The fellow you ought to be is three dimensional Soaking up life down to your toes
Mame and Agnes: Whenever they say you're slightly unconventional
Patrick: Just put your thumb up to your nose
Mame and All: And show 'em how to dance to a new rhythm Whistle a new song Toast with a new vintage The fizz doesn't fizz too long There's only one way to make the bubbles stay Simply travel a new high way Dance to a new rhythm Open a new window ev'ry day!

Mambo Miam Miam Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
J'ai dans l'oesophage Un antropophage Qui avait dans l'idée De m'empoisonner Il m'disait p'tite tête Ôte-toi d'là qu'j'm'y mette Je me suis résigné À l'bouffer l'premier
Sauvage ou pirate On s'tire dans les pattes Et le moins malin Peut crever de faim Soldat ou artiste On est tous des tristes Sires et malheur à Qui manque d'estomac
Dans ma garçonnière Misère de misère La femme du voisin S'fait couler un bain Quand la mienne s'déhanche J'ai le cur qui flanche D'voir les autres tudieu La bouffer des yeux
Viendra le jour certes Où la gueule ouverte Comme ça d'but en noir J'irai me faire voir J'ferai des orphelines Et par la racine J'boufferai les orties Et les pissenlits
Mambo miam miam Mambo miam miam Mambo miam miam Mambo miam miam
100 Nights Composer(s): Steve Hogarth Performer(s): Marillion
A hundred nights of fun and games A thousand empty glasses I feel it change And stay the same As each day passes They invite me to their gathering In the finer parts of town They seem attracted to my indifference The irony just knocks me out And I love them as if I love them And they reciprocate with help But I look up at these mirrors sometimes And I can't see myself They say that some are born to burn And some are born to give They say that some people live and learn Some people only live and live You don't know that I come here If you did you would know why So we close our eyes You didn't notice me As i passed you on the stairs How could you ever guess Lookin' at my face How closely I share your taste How well I know your place Even the clothes you wear I've seen them when you're not there You say that you can win win win If you know how to play the game But while you're out there playing you see There's something you should know She spends your money She spends your money on me

100 Years Ago Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards Performer(s): The Rolling Stones
Went out walkin' through the wood the other day and the world was a carpet laid before me The buds were bursting and the air smelled sweet and strange and it seemed about a hundred years ago
Mary and I, we would sit upon a gate just gazin' at some dragon in the sky What tender days, we had no secrets hid away well, it seemed about a hundred years ago
Now all my friends are wearing worried smiles living out a dream of what they was Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?
Wend out walkin' through the wood the other day can't you see the furrows in my forehead? What tender days, we had no secrets hid away now it seems about a hundred years ago
Now if you see me drinkin' bad red wine don't worry 'bout this man that you love Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?
You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn you You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn you You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, oh Lord, I warn you and please excuse me while I hide away Call me lazy bones ain't got no time to waste away lazy bones ain't got no time to waste away Don't you think it's just about time to hide away? Yeah, yeah!
No palco, na praça, no circo, num banco de jardim Correndo no escuro, pixado no muro Você vai saber de mim Mambembe, cigano Debaixo da ponte, cantando Por baixo da terra, cantando Na boca do povo, cantando
Mendigo, malandro, moleque, mulambo, bem ou mal Escravo fugido ou louco varrido Vou fazer meu festival Mambembe, cigano Debaixo da ponte, cantando Por baixo da terra, cantando Na boca do povo, cantando
Poeta, palhaço, pirata, corisco, errante judeu Dormindo na estrada, não é nada, não é nada E esse mundo é todo meu Mambembe, cigano Debaixo da ponte, cantando Por baixo da terra, cantando Na boca do povo, cantando
I broke into the bank on Sunday You should see the money I got I couldn't drag it home 'til Monday 'Cause it sure weighed an awful lot
Then I sat down to count it And much to my surprise A whole lotta little brown, little round coins Rolled out before my eyes
Chorus: I've got a hundred thousand dollars worth of pennies Not a solitary dollar or a dime And I don't believe there's many Rich men with a problem like mine
And I don't think this is any Kind of ending to a perfect crime I've got a hundred thousand dollars worth of pennies And I'm spendin' it a penny at a time!
Now a steak sure would taste delicious And I've forgot how a beer would feel But the man just might get suspicious If I gave him eight hundred pennies for a meal
So I guess I'll just weigh myself again And buy me another stick of gum I've got a hundred thousand dollars worth of pennies, Lord! And I'm livin' like a penniless bum!
Chorus: I've got a hundred thousand dollars worth of pennies Not a solitary dollar or a dime And I don't believe there's many Rich men with a problem like mine
