Arizona ((Adapted from: Arizona (by Family Dogg) - 1969)) Composer(s): Kenny Young - Yves Dessca Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1970
Du Michigan à San Francisco Je suis recherché De jour en jour le prix de ma peau Ne cesse de grimper Je n'ai plus d'amis, j'ai n'ai plus même un frère Qui puisse encore me cacher Pourtant si le ciel veut bien m'aider Avant la nuit je serai sauvé
Arizona C'est ma dernière chance L'Arizona Je n'y suis pas encore interdit Arizona C'est ma dernière chance L'Arizona De recommencer ma vie
Dans chaque ville, à chaque rue Mon nom couvre les murs Et sous le soleil, Chaque pas se fait un peu plus dur
Arizona C'est ma dernière chance L'Arizona De recommencer ma vie
J'aurais planté tout près de l'eau Une maison blanche Ou bien je dresserais des chevaux Si j'achète un ranch Ce rêve de paix j'ai bien peur qu'il ne soit jamais, jamais réalité Mais si Dieu veut m'accompagner Demain je serai sauvé
Arizona C'est ma dernière chance L'Arizona Je n'y suis pas encore interdit Arizona C'est ma dernière chance L'Arizona De recommencer ma vie
Arizona C'est ma dernière chance L'Arizona Je n'y suis pas encore interdit
Dirty Little Tinker
Composer(s): Harry Hemsley
Performer(s): Harry Hemsley
Some children, they're as good as gold and never cause alarm
They always do just as they're told and never come to harm
They never litter up the place and never soil their clothes
So call them "Lamb" and "Angel Face", to please them, I suppose
Dirty little tinker, dirty little mite
That's what Daddy calls me, that's the name I like!
Inky clothes and fingers, face all smeared with jam
Dirty little tinker, an' (giggles) I'm very glad I am!
Daddy: Hello Johnny
Johnny: Hello Daddy
Daddy: Good gracious, look at your dirty hand
I've never seen a dirtier one
Johnny: Well look at this one then!
Daddy: Did you wash this morning?
Johnny: Yes Daddy
Daddy: Don't believe you
Johnny: Ooh, you ought to see the towel!
Daddy: You dirty little tinker!
Most children when there's visitors are taught to be polite
But when one calls upon my Dad, they tuck me out of sight
I have to mind my p's and q's on 'casions such as these
'Cause Nurse says Daddy won't excuse a boy with dirty knees
Dirty little tinker, dirty little mite
That's what Daddy calls me, that's the name I like!
Inky clothes and fingers, face all smeared with jam
Dirty little tinker, an' (giggles) I'm very glad I am!
Dirty little muck-pot, dirty little tyke
That's what Daddy calls me, that's the name I like!
Never calls me "Sonny boy", Nurse says it's a shame
Dirty little mucky pup, (giggles), but he loves me just the same!

I make my living off the evening news Just give me something-something I can use People love it when you lose They love dirty laundry

Kick em when theyre up Kick em when theyre down Kick em when theyre up Kick em when theyre down Kick em when theyre up Kick em when theyre down Kick em when theyre up Kick em all around
We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who Comes on at five She can tell you bout the plane crash with a gleam In her eye Its interesting when people die Give us dirty laundry
Can we film the operation? Is the head dead yet? You know, the boys in the newsroom got a Running bet Get the widow on the set! We need dirty laundry
You dont really need to find out whats going on You dont really want to know just how far its gone Just leave well enough alone Eat your dirty laundry
Kick em when theyre up Kick em when theyre down Kick em when theyre up Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up Kick em when theyre down Kick em when theyre stiff Kick em all around
Dirty little secrets Dirty little lies We got our dirty little fingers in everybodys pie We love to cut you down to size We love dirty laundry
We can do the innuendo We can dance and sing When its said and done we havent told you a thing We all know that crap is king Give us dirty laundry!
Think Of Me ((aka Think of Me (When You're Lonely) (The Mavericks) - 1999)) Composer(s): Don Rich - Estella Olsson First recording/First release by: Buck Owens and The Buckaroos - 1966
Think of me when you're lonely Think of me when you're blue Think of me when you're far away For I'll be thinking of you
Remember all the good times We shared in days gone by Remember all the sadness The day you said goodbye
Think of me when you're lonely Think of me when you're blue Think of me when you're far away For I'll be thinking of you
You said that you were leavin' But you wouldn't be gone too long With each new day I hope and pray That you'll come travellin' home
Think of me when you're lonely Think of me when you're blue Think of me when you're far away For I'll be thinking of you
I watch the mailman come I listen for the phone I meet the trains at the station But I spend my nights alone Now the waiting is over And the time has set the scene Yes, God meant me for only you And he meant you for me
Think of me when you're lonely Think of me when you're blue Think of me when you're far away For I'll be thinking of you For I'll be thinking of you
Dirty Hands! Dirty Face!
Composer(s): Grant Clarke - Al Jolson - Edgar Leslie - James V. Monaco
Performer(s): Marion Harris
and multiple other artists
Wonderful pals are always hard to find Some folks have one, some folks have none And I was alone for years, but fate was kind And in the end, sent me a friend Although he's not much higher than my knee Still he's the greatest thing on earth to me
Dirty hands, dirty face Leads the neighbours a chase But his smile is as cute as can be Making noise, breaking toys He's always fighting the boys But his eyes, they're a vision to see
And when my work is done Coming home from the setting sun To the gate he will start to run And then I'll kiss my boy
Dirty hands, dirty face Little devil, that's what they say But to me he's an angel of joy
Dirty hands, dirty face Leads the neighbours a chase But his smile, his little smile, is as cute as can be Making noise, breaking toys, Ha-ha-ha He's always fighting the boys But his eyes, they're his Mother's And they're a vision to me
And when my work is done Coming home, coming home to the setting sun From the gate he'll start to run And then, Ohhh! I'll kiss my boy
Dirty hands, dirty face Little devil, that's what they say But to me he's an angel of joy
Are You There (With Another Girl)? Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David First release by: Dionne Warwick - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists
I hear the music coming out of your radio Are you there with another girl instead of me I hear your laughter and there's something I've got to know Are you there with another girl instead of me
Well, I'm standing on your doorstep and I don't know what to do Should I ring your doorbell or just walk away My friends all say that you were never true Hiding in the shadows
I see two silhouettes in back of your window shade Are you there with another girl when I am gone I can't believe you'd break the promises that you made If you're there with another girl, I can't go on
Oh, I only know I love you and I couldn't say goodbye So if there's another I don't want to know If you should go, oh, I would surely die Love requires faith, I've got a lot of faith but
I hear the music coming' out of your radio
Oh, I only know I love you and I couldn't say goodbye So if there's another I don't want to know If you should go, oh, I would surely die You would never leave me, hurt me or deceive me I'm a fool to doubt you, worry so about you Love requires faith, I've got a lot in me but
Dirty Dishes Blues
Composer(s): Gene Masters
Performer(s): Lonesome Pine Fiddlers
I come in this morning a quarter past eight Expecting her nagging for getting home late But she didn't scold me or tell me it's wrong For I didn't see her, my sweetheart was gone
Dirty dishes, dirty dishes, I'm losing my mind My baby done left me and traveled behind And now I'm so lonely, and lonely I'll be With no one to wash all my dishes for me
A note on the table and here's how it read Now, you've been cheatin', that's all that she said I just stood there bawling, the tears were in vain For now I know she'll never believe me again
Dirty dishes, dirty dishes, I'm losing my mind My baby done left me and traveled behind And now I'm so lonely, and lonely I'll be With no one to wash all my dishes for me
Now I never cheated, believe me it's true Or broken a promise that I made to you You'll never know just how happy I'll be If you will come back and wash dishes for me
Dirty dishes, dirty dishes, I'm losing my mind My baby done left me and traveled behind And now I'm so lonely, and lonely I'll be With no one to wash all my dishes for me

Dirt Road Blues
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Bob Dylan; Fernando Goin; Michel Montecrossa
Gonna walk down that dirt road 'Til someone will let me ride Gonna walk down that dirt road 'Til someone will let me ride If I can't find my baby I'm gonna run away and hide
Well, I been pacing round the room, hoping maybe she come back pacing round the room, hoping maybe she come back Well, I been praying for salvation Laying round in a one-room country shack
Gonna walk down that dirt road, until my eyes begin to bleed Gonna walk down that dirt road, until my eyes begin to bleed 'Til there's nothing left to see 'Til the chains have been shattered and I been freed
But I'm looking at my shadow, I been watching the clouds up above looking at my shadow, watching the clouds up above Rolling through the rain and hail Looking for the sunny side of love
Gonna walk down that dirt road 'til everything becomes the same Gonna walk down that dirt road 'til everything becomes the same I keep on walking 'til I hear her holler out my name
Dire Qu'il Faudra Mourir Un Jour
Composer(s): Georges Moustaki
Performer(s): Georges Moustaki
Dir' qu'il faudra mourir un jour
Quitter sa vie et ses amours
Dire qu'il faudra laisser tout ça
Pour Dieu sait quel au-delà
Dir' qu'il faudra mourir un jour
Dir' qu'il faudra mourir un jour
C'est dur à penser, il faut bien le dire
Dir' qu'il faudra rester tout seul
Dans la tristesse d'un linceul
Sans une fille pour la nuit
Sans une goutte de whisky
Dir' qu'il faudra mourir un jour
Dir' qu'il faudra mourir un jour
C'est dur à penser, il faut bien le dire
Dir' qu'il faudra, bon gré mal gré
Finir dans d'éternels regrets
Moi qui voudrais plus d'une vie
Pour passer toutes mes envies
Dir' qu'il faudra mourir un jour
Dir' qu'il faudra mourir un jour
C'est dur à penser, il faut bien le dire
Dir' qu'il faudra mourir d'ennui
En enfer ou en paradis
Passer toute une éternité
Sans jamais pouvoir s'évader...
Dir' qu'il faudra mourir un jour
Dir' qu'il faudra mourir un jour
C'est dur à penser, il faut bien le dire
Dir' qu'il faudra mourir encor
Moi qui suis souvent déjà mort
Oui mort d'amour et de plaisir
De quoi pourrais-je mieux mourir?
Dir' qu'il faudra mourir un jour

Dip Your Wings
Composer(s): Paul Fox - Franne Golde - Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Peter Cetera
If you see me coming up an open road With an empty glass and a single rose Take a turn towards the shifting light There youll see my shadow lost in the night
Endless flight has no directions now To a cowards kiss from a heros vow If I could find the words, Id pick up the phone If I was half a man, I wouldnt sleep alone
Send me no more angels on a restless wind All I ever wanted were the simple things If a love like ours means anything Show me a sign, honey, dip your wings
Oh you shook your head like a wild horse Beneath the southern cross in the frozen north Oh when our bodies touched on that burning beach I could have sworn that heaven was within our reach
Send me no more angels on a restless wind All I ever wanted were the simple things If a love like ours means anything Show me a sign, honey, dip your wings
Time just crawls here behind my eyes If the scar heals, can our love survive Lifes only purpose seems so distant now If thees a chance at all wont you show me how
Send me no more angels on a restless wind All I ever wanted were the simple things If a love like ours means anything Show me a sign, honey, dip your wings
Are You Sure Love Is The Name Of This Game Composer(s): William "Smokey" Robinson Performer(s): Diana Ross & the Supremes
I'll admit that you've been Playing with my heart Just like it was a toy And I've been playing along And letting you treat me wrong Because it seems to give you joy
Are you sure love is the name of this game Are you sure love is the name of this game
For days on end you just stay away Waitin' for my heart to weaken It's like we're playing hide and seek And I'm the one who's always seeking
Are you sure love is the name of this game I wanna know Are you sure L-o-v-e love is the name of this game
Well if everything's right And uptight How come the heartaches keep repeating With every beat my heart is beating Now can it be that you've been cheating Cheating on me
Now how come you keep on Telling me lies Filling my life with sorrow Don't know what to expect From your affection It's here today and gone tomorrow
Are you sure love, love, love is the name of this game I wanna know Are you sure L-o-v-e love is the name of this game
Dios Y El Diablo En El Taller Composer(s): Adrián Abonizio Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Dios y el diablo van susurrando cosas a mi espalda la virgen en camisón se pasea y del lado de la fábrica suena un motor Sus bicicletas húmedas descansan en el pasillo el invierno vino colorado pero esta vez no hay vino para los dos Son dos desocupados mas lo justo se hizo moda y el verso casi un verso de verdad y el trabajo una zona que no está Rai-ra rai-ri rei-ra Aburridos jugadores con los naipes marcados siempre en el siete la radio que habla sola y que trasmite el empate de Ferro y de Platense cero a cero Se prohibe hablar del mundo en esas salas Dios y el Diablo van remendando madrugadas y no entiendo nada La virgen como mujer los engaña, los consuela y les dice que a la vuelta siempre hay que pagar Muchachos, hay que comer salgan para el taller
El diablo que se aburre, que hace sebo que va al baño y fuma un caño Dios, buen operario, cuida el puesto y entre dientes silba un tango que habla de "Vamos donde hay sol" El Diablo que conoce mil lugares donde hay minas Y algo como amor Dios dice "Hay que aguantar" ami con la hora extra ya me alcanza para hacerme un viaje a pie a Lujan Y cerca de las seis el pito que resuena en el tinglado entristece mucho mas La virgen ...
Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way Composer(s): Waylon Jennings Performer(s): Waylon Jennings and multiple other artists
Lord, it's the same old tune, fiddle and guitar Where do we take it from here Rhinestone suits and new shiny cars It's been the same way for years We need to change
Somebody told me when I came to Nashville "Son you finally got it made Old Hank made it here, we're all sure that you will" But I don't think Hank done it this way I don't think Hank done it this way.......Hook it!
Ten years on the road, pickin' one night stands Speeding my young life away Tell me one more time just so's I'll understand Are you sure Hank done it this way? Did ol' Hank really do it this way?
Lord, I've seen the world with a five piece band Looking at the back side of me Singin' my songs, one o' his now and then But I don't think Hank done 'em this way No, I don't think Hank done 'em this a'way...... Take it home
