Do It Yourself
Composer(s): Jule Styne - Betty Comden - Adolph Green
Performer(s): Dean Martin
You've gotta do it, you've gotta do it Gotta do it all alone No one else will do it for you You're on your own
Do it It may be love or war or mopping up the floor, but just do it Don't send a friend who's true to pitch your woo for you or you'll rue it Do it yourself
Don't fake it If you're a fake, you won't make it Wait for your break, and then take it For time and tide they wait for no man, go, go, go, man
Do it To prove the point at hand just look at old Miles Standish who blew it He said "John Alden, will you go and ask Priscilla to do it?" Miles got the heaveho
"Man," Priscilla said, "Now that Miles is gone Speak for yourself, dear John" He blew it, so do it, do it Do it yourself
Do It Or Die
Composer(s): Buddy Buie - J.R. Cobb - Ronnie Hammond
Performer(s): Atlanta Rhythm Section
Don't let your troubles make you cry Don't waste a moment wonderin' why When ev'rything goes wrong You have to go on And do it or die Do it or die now Stand your ground
Don't let your bad breaks go gettin' you down Even when times get rough And you've had enough You still gotta try Do it no matter what the people say They don't even know you
Die before you let them stand in your way (Don't you know that) You should know that life is a gamble all along Winners or losers you keep rollin' on So go on and roll the dice You only live twice So do it or die

Do It Again
Composer(s): Brian Wilson - Mike Love
First release by: The Beach Boys - 1969
It's automatic when I Talk with old friends The conversation turns to Girls we knew when their Hair was soft and long and the Beach was the place to go Suntanned bodies and Waves of sunshine the California girls and a Beautiful coastline Warmed up weather Let's get together and Do it again
With a girl the lonely sea looks good Makes your nighttimes warm and out of sight
Been so long (Hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now) (Hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now)
Well I've been thinking 'bout All the places we've surfed and danced and All the faces we've missed so let's get Back together and do it again
As Far As I'm Concerned Performer(s): Nat King Cole
As far as I'm concerned That amber moon that can make the tides return Won't match the light within my eyes The night I learned that I'm the one you'll always love
As far as I'm concerned The mid day sun that can make the planets turn Is cold as ice compared with how your kisses burn And show my heart the warmth of love
Long, long ago days were empty life was oh such a slow caravan But now that you're here how the hours tumble by and the days disappear They say we live and learn but what care I If I never ever learn why robins fly away As long as they return and I love you and you love me For that's as far as I'm concerned
They say we live and learn but what care I If I never ever learn why robins fly away As long as they return and I love you and you love me For that's as far as I'm concerned
Do It Again
Composer(s): Walter Becker - Donald Fagen
First release by: Steely Dan - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists
In the mornin you go gunnin'
For the man who stole your water
And you fire till he is done in
But they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all singin'
As they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hangin'
And they put you on the street
You go back Jack do it again
Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back Jack do it again
When you know she's no high climber
Then you find your only friend
In a room with your two timer
And you're sure you're near the end
Then you love a little wild one
And she brings you only sorrow
All the time you know she's smilin'
You'll be on your knees tomorrow
You go back Jack do it again
Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back Jack do it again
Now you swear and kick and beg us
That you're not a gamblin' man
Then you find you're back in Vegas
With a handle in your hand
Your black cards can make you money
So you hide them when you're able
In the land of milk and honey
You must put them on the table
You go back Jack do it again
Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back Jack do it again
Do It Again ((Dutch Version: Doe 'T Nog Es Een Keer (Greetje Kauffeld) - 1997)) Composer(s): George Gershwin - Buddy De Silva First performance: Irene Bordoni - 1922 Covered by multiple other artists
You really shouldn't have done it You hadn't any right I really shouldn't have let you Kiss me And although it was wrong I never was strong So as long as you've begun it And you know you shouldn't have done it
Oh Do it again I may say no no no no no But do it again My lips just ache To have you take the kiss That's waiting for you You know if you do You won't regret it Come and get it
Oh No one is near I may cry oh Oh Oh Oh Oh But no one can hear Mamma may scold me Coz' she told me It was naughty but then
Please Do it again Yes do it again And again and again and again and again and again Turn out the light And hold me close In your arms All through the night I know tomorrow morning You will say Goodbye and Amen
As Curvas Da Estrada De Santos Composer(s): Roberto Carlos - Erasmo Carlos Performer(s): Elis Regina
Se você pretende saber quem eu sou Eu posso lhe dizer Entre no meu carro na estrada de Santos E você vai me conhecer Você vai pensar que eu não gosto nem mesmo de mim E que na minha idade só a velocidade Anda junto a mim
Só ando sozinho E no meu caminho o tempo é cada vez menor Preciso de ajuda Por favor me acuda Eu vivo muito só Se acaso numa curva eu me lembro do meu mundo Eu piso mais fundo Corrijo num segundo Não posso parar
Eu prefiro as curvas da estrada de Santos Onde eu tento esquecer Um amor que eu tive E vi pelo espelho na distância se perder
Mas se o amor que eu perdi eu novamente encontrar As curvas se acabam E na estrada de Santos não vou mais passar
Do It Composer(s): Neil Diamond Performer(s): Neil Diamond
Do it while your soul's still burnin' You know I'll be yearnin' away Say what you want to say Cause if you let her go You'll always know you blew it Go to it and do it Yeah, do it yeah
Tell her just how much you love her And that no other could do what she does to you Cause if you take your time You're gonna find you blew it Go to it and do it Yeah do it, yeah do it, do it
As Cartas Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Chico Buarque
Ilusão Ilusão Veja as coisas como elas são A carroça A dama O louco O trunfo A mão O enforcado A dançarina Numa cortina O encarnado A dançarina, o encantado O encarnado numa cortina O enforcado
Ilusão Ilusão Veja as coisas como elas são O curinga A noiva O noivo O sim O não O prateado O cavaleiro No seu espelho Desfigurado O cavaleiro, o prateado Do outro lado do seu espelho Desfigurado
Ilusão Ilusão Veja as coisas como elas são A fortuna A roda O raio A imensidão O estrelado O obscuro O seu Embaralhado
Do I Worry?
Composer(s): Stanley Cowan - Bobby Worth
Performer(s): The Ink Spots
Do I worry cause you're stepping out Do I worry cause you got me in doubt Though your kisses aren't right, do I give a bag of beans Do I stay home every night and read my magazine
Am I frantic, cause we lost that spark Is there panic when it starts turning dark And when evening shadows creep, do I loose any sleep over you Do I worry, you can bet your life I do
Do I worry when the iceman calls Do I worry if Niagra Falls Though you treat me just like dirt You think I give a snap Are my feelings really hurt When you're sitting in somebody else's lap Am I curious when the gossip flies Am I furious bout your little white lies And when all our evenings end Cause you got a sick friend that needs you Do I worry, honey, you know dog gone well I do
Am I frantic, cause we've lost that spark Is there panic when it starts turning dark And when evening shadows creep Do I lose any sleep over you Do I worry, you can bet your life, I do
(Do I Figure) In Your Life? Composer(s): Pete Dello First release by: Honeybus - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
Hey there, what you gonna do now? You made yourself some new friends Knocking around with all those wide people They make me nervous When the things they say cut me like a knife Do I still figure in your life?
Hey now, I hardly know your face It's got a brand new look about it Hard to trace the tender way you look The way you smile To think that I once took you for my wife Do I still figure in your life? Do I still figure in your life?
You say hello - say hello But I think you want to go - I think you got to go To think that I once took you for my wife Do I still figure in your life? Do I still figure in your life? Do I? Do I still figure in your life? Do I? Do I still figure in your life? Do I? Do I still figure in your life?
Here I am My heart in a sling Holding on to memories Wondering what might have been There you are Lost in a dream Full of life yet loneliness Has caused you to bleed I know Where there's room enough for two Take a trip to where we've been The water's hushed underneath thge bridge... again As always I remain
So where are we now Life is just a daisy chain Your innocence my lost refrain Where are we now Never said you'd stay the same As always I remain
Sudden call It's the end of the line Or is it just the start of something Maybe... we'll see Where will you go And who will you be Me I'll just be singing songs Crossing fingers There's always something going on As always I remain As always I remain
So where are we now Life is just a daisy chain Your innocence my lost refrain Where are we now Never said you'd stay the same As always I remain
I must admit I'm an untimely man Appearing to calloused to all There's a right way a wrong way As always I will Remain on this road right or wrong
So where are we now Life is just a daisy chain Your innocence my lost refrain Where are we now Never said you'd stay the same As always I remain As always I remain
Do I Love You?
Composer(s): Peter Andreoli - Vini Poncia - Phil Spector
First release by: The Ronettes - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists
Do I want you for my baby? Do I want you by my side? Do I wanna run & kiss your lips And say you're my lovin' guy? Oh oh oh (oh oh) oh oh oh (oh oh oh) (Do I love you? Yes I love you)
Do I need your arms around me? Do I live my life for you? Do I always feel so warm each time I look in your eyes of blue? Oh oh oh (oh oh) oh oh oh (oh oh oh) (Do I love you? Yes I love you) oh oh
And do I need you every minute of the day? And would I die if you should ever go away? And does it mean so much to feel your tender touch? Do I love you? Do I love you?
Oh I swear I'm gonna get you If it takes me all my life I'll hope & pray & dream & sleep 'Cause I'm gonna be your wife Oh oh oh (oh oh) oh oh oh (oh oh oh) (Do I love you? Yes I love you)
As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving And the rosebuds know to bloom in early may Just as hate knows love's the cure You can rest your mind assure That I'll be loving you always
As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow But in passing will grow older every day Just as all that's born is new You know what I say is true That I'll be loving you always
(Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky) Always (Until the ocean covers every mountain high) Always (Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea) Always (Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream)
Did you know that true love asks for nothing No no her acceptance is the way we pay Did you know that life has given love a guarantee To last through forever and another day
Just as time knew to move on since the beginning And the seasons know exactly when to change Just as kindness knows no shame Know through all your joy and pain That I'll be loving you always
As today I know I'm living But tomorrow could make me the past But that I mustn't fear For I'll know deep in my mind The love of me I've left behind 'Cause I'll be loving you always
(Until the day is night and night becomes the day) Always (Until the trees and seas just up and fly away) Always (Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four) Always (Until the day that is the day that are no more) Did you know you're loved by somebody (Until the day the earth starts turnin' right to left) Always (Until the earth just for the sun denies itself) I'll be lovin you forever (Until dear mother nature says her work is through) Always (Until the day that you are me and I am you) Always (Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky Until the ocean severs every mountain high) Always mm mm
We all know sometimes life hates and troubles Can make you wish you were born in another time and space But you can bet your lifetimes that and twice it's double That God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed So make sure when you say you're in it, but not of it You're not helpin' to make this earth A place sometimes called hell Change your words into truths And then change that truth into love And maybe our children's grandchildren And their great grandchildren will tell I'll be loving you until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
