Maar In Amerika ((Adapted from: Ma Che Domenica (by Fiammetta) - 1969)) Composer(s): Gino Mescoli - Vito Pallavicini - Tony Rendall Performer(s): Marc Dex - 1969
Met drie schepen trok Columbus naar Amerika als ontdekker van de schatten der natuur Ik zou liever in het bootje zijn met Erica want het grote avontuur is mij te duur
Maar in Amerika, maar in Amerika daar vlieg je like a monkey naar de maan Maar in Amerika, maar in Amerika is 't hippy, happy, hoep en 't is gedaan
Ik zou graag met jou naar 't einde van de wereld gaan Maar ik jaag al elke dag in wild geraas daarom bied ik jou dit blauwe hemelbootje aan Langs riviertjes van de Schelde en de Maas
Maar in Amerika, maar in Amerika daar vlieg je like a monkey naar de maan Maar in Amerika, maar in Amerika is 't hippy, happy, hoep en 't is gedaan
Ik wil varen door de lente van de Vlaamse zon want hier vond ik toch het allerliefst onthaal naast de bloempjes in de weiden en op jouw japon zijn woestijnen van de maan maar dor en schraal
Maar in Amerika, maar in Amerika daar vlieg je like a monkey naar de maan Maar in Amerika, maar in Amerika is 't hippy, happy, hoep en 't is gedaan
Maar in Amerika, maar in Amerika daar vlieg je like a monkey naar de maan Maar in Amerika, maar in Amerika is 't hippy, happy, hoep en 't is gedaan
Maar in Amerika, maar in Amerika daar vlieg je like a monkey naar de maan Maar in Amerika, maar in Amerika....

Do you remember Murray the K Alan Freed, and high energy? It's the end, the end of the 70's It's the end, the end of the century

Oh-oh Will you remember Jarry Lee, John Lennon T-Rex and Ol' Moulty? It's the end, the end of the 70's It's the end, the end of the century
Ask Any Girl Performer(s): Diana Ross & The Supremes
Being hurt by the one you love It's a feeling that's hard to hide But you don't seem to understand why When I'm alone I sit and cry
Ask any girl Who's often left alone All by herself Neglectfully pushed aside Set aside like a doll on a shelf Just ask any girl Ooh, and you'll understand why I sit and cry
Ask any girl Who knows the fear of losing Someone dear And she'll say the same thing It hurts you deep Makes it hard to sleep Don't take my word Ask any girl Then you'll understand why I sit and cry
Ask any girl Who receives no loving affection And she'll feel as I feel It's heartaches by the number Many nights without slumber Ask any girl Ooh, and then you'll know why I sit and cry I sit and cry
Do You Remember Me?
Composer(s): Nick Perito - Richard B. Matheson
Performer(s): Perry Como
Do you remember me As I remember you? I know, many years have passed Yet I still cant forget the love we shared
Do you ever regret the day You turned and walked away? Leaving a dream behind One I never could find again
Life went on without you I willed it from my mind! But still the memory lingers in my heart Of how we parted
Do you remember why You had to say good-bye? Do you every now and then Breathe a sigh, shed a tear, for me Wishing we were together, still in love The way that we used to be!
Do you remember me Holding you tenderly? Do you, every now and then Breathe a sigh, shed a tear, for me Wishing we were together, still in love The way that we used to be!
Asiatic Flu Composer(s): Johnny Dee Performer(s): Ebe Sneezer & His Epidemics
There's a little bitty bug that's a-goin' all around He's a-hittin' all the cities and he's hittin' all the towns Beetles don't claim him and neither do the fleas Because he makes everybody (sneeze sound)! I've got that Asiatic Flu
Well he comes slippin' in when you least expect him Folks are a-takin' those shots to protect them I got mine just the other day Now my sneezin's all gone (sneeze sound)! Still got that Asiatic Flu
He can make feel you so doggone blue Your eyes will run and your nose will too Your head will ache and you'll chill and freeze But most of all you'll sit and sn-(sneeze sound)! I've got that Asiatic Flu
Now London has a bridge that's known to the world And evening in Paris will make your hair curl Russia's always kickin' up a hullabaloo And Asia's got a bug called the A-(sneeze sound)! That Asiatic Flu
Now here we were just as fine we as could be When in walked a bug just as big as you please You know what I think about this here disease Give it back to the Asians and let them sn-(sneeze sound)! Everybody's got that Asiatic Flu Everybody's got that Asiatic Flu
Do You Really Love Me Too
Composer(s): Mark Barkan - Ben Raleigh
First release by: Billy Fury - 1963
Did my heart send me on a fool's errand When it sent me after you Did I go out on a fool's errand Or do you really love me too
You greet me with a smile What pretty things you say But when I want your lips You turn away
Did my heart send me on a fool's errand When it sent me after you Did I go out on a fool's errand Or do you really love me too
I'm dancing close to you And someone else cuts in Why does your face light up When you're with him
Did my heart send me on a fool's errand When it sent me after you Did I go out on a fool's errand Or do you really love me too
Have I been just a fool From the first day we met Or is it just that you're Playing hard to get
Did my heart send me on a fool's errand When it sent me after you Did I go out on a fool's errand Or do you really love me too Do you really love me too Do you really love me too Do you really love me Come on and love me Do you really love me too
I Don't Wanna Die In An Air Disaster Composer(s): Albert Hammond Performer(s): Albert Hammond
The engines spit out fire, I'm pushed back in my chair The pressure give me thrills as we climb up in the air And I love to watch the clouds and the mountains and the sky Swish around a cocktail the stewardess brings by
Lord this is the life for me Lord oh Lord this is the life for me But I don't wanna die in an air disaster I don't wanna die on a plane
Well I fishtail through the lanes, and make my tires squeal Power at my feet and the glory at the weel And I wind the windows down Let the wind blow through my hair God knows where I'm going, but me, I don't care
Lord this is the life for me Lord oh Lord this is the life for me But I don't wanna die in a freeway pile-up I don't wanna die on the road
Well I'm young and I'm pretty, and I wanna stay that way Wanna be desirable 'till my dying day I don't wanna be bedridden, an old and bitter sage Have the nurses saying I'm young for my age
(He's young for his age)
Oh Lord don't let me go that way Lord oh Lord don't let me go that way No, don't let me go like a fading chorus Don't let me fade like a song
Lord have mercy on your son Lord oh Lord have mercy on me 'Cause I don't wanna die in an air disaster And I don't wanna die in a freeway pile-up And I don't wanna go like a fading chorus And I don't wanna die for no good reason

Como una llama que aparta tinieblas quemando las dudas en los pensamientos como ese río que nunca se seca que sigue su cauce arrastrando a las piedras como esa sangre que cae sin miedo sangre que limpia paisajes y penas así es la verdad
Como esa vida que decimos nuestra y que nos reconoce por su único dueño como esa vida que es causa primera y que lucha por serlo a golpes de fuerza como esa vida que no quiere muertos como esa vida que no quiere esperas así es la verdad
Niño en la playa
Hay un niño en la playa detenido en la orilla hay un niño que grita con profunda agonía
Entre mares de infamia y una arena sin vida hay un niño que grita su dolor noche y día
Vissers Van Capri Composer(s): Gerhard Winkler; Johnny Steggerda; Klaas van Beek Performer(s): Orkest Zonder Naam
refr.: Als bij Capri de rode zon in zee verzinkt En de maansikkel zilv'rig bleek aan de hemel blinkt Gaan de vissers van Capri met snelle boten uit Leggen netten in zee en hopen op rijke buit Slechts de sterren geleiden hen aan het firmament Met hun beelden, die elke vissersman reeds lang kent En van boot tot boot dit oude lied weerklinkt Hoor van ver hoe het zingt: Bella Bella Bella Marie Slechts voor jou zing ik mijn droommelodie Bella Bella Bella Marie, vergeet mij niet
Golven van de zee dragen het weer mee En zij komen dansend met hun lichte last Vanuit het verschiet Ergens aan het strand, rustend in het zand Zitten de geliefden stil te luist'ren naar hun lied
Fly Away Pretty Flamingo Performer(s): Peggy March
Regen fällt auf den Strand Kalter Wind weht ins Land und es scheint, als sei nie Sommer gewesen Wie verlassen und leer ist die Welt um mich her Gestern noch war hier nur Sonnenschein
Fly, fly away fly to my love oh my pretty flamingos in den Sonnenschein fly, fly away fly to my love oh my pretty flamingos denn hin zu ihm würd ich gern mit euch ziehn
All die Sehnsucht in mir bringt die Bilder von dir und ich seh dich noch beim Abschied weinen Doch das Meer kommt zum Strand und das ist wie ein Pfand Wann kommst du zurück in dieses Land?
Fly, fly away fly to my love oh my pretty flamingos in den Sonnenschein fly, fly away fly to my love oh my pretty flamingos denn hin zu ihm würd ich gern mit euch ziehn
Do You Mind?
Composer(s): Lionel Bart
Performer(s): Anthony Newley
If I say I love you do you mind Make an idol of you do you mind If I shower you with kisses If I tell you honey this is How I think of heaven do you mind
I want to whisper, whisper sweet nothings in your ear Nothings that are meant for my love alone to hear
So then If I say I love you do you mind Make an idol of you do you mind If I shower you with kisses If I tell you honey this is How I think of heaven do you mind
I want to whisper, whisper sweet nothings in your ear Nothings that are meant for my love alone to hear
So then If I say I love you do ya mind baby Make an idol of you do you mind If I shower you with kisses If I tell you honey this is How I think of heaven do you mind
Deja que se vayan de una vez esas palabras y no tengas miedo de abrirles la ventana Que la rabia es necia y no sabe lo que habla Que venga el silencio y nos devuelva la calma
Deja que se vayan también los pensamientos Que sin razón alguna le echan leña al fuego nublando los sentidos, quemándonos por dentro Ven siéntate a mi lado fue solo un mal momento
Un beso como la primera vez para olvidar tanta estupidez pues el sabe que aunque se nuble el cielo el sol brillará otra vez
Un te quiero así a media voz Un corazón latiendo por los dos que dice hay que empezar de nuevo pues así es el amor
Deja que se vayan de una vez esas miradas y no tengas miedo de abrirles la ventana que el rencor es ciego y nos hiere con su espada dame una sonrisa, aquí no pasa nada
Deja que despierte de nuevo el sentimiento un sueño una razón para seguir creyendo Soltemos las amarras dejemos este puerto ven siéntate a mi lado, fue sólo un mal momento
Un beso como la primera vez para olvidar tanta estupidez pues él sabe que aunque ser nuble el cielo el sol brillará otra vez
Un te quiero así a media voz Un corazón latiendo por los dos que dice hay que empezar de nuevo pues así es el amor

Ashes To Ashes Composer(s): David Bowie First release by: David Bowie - 1980 Covered by multiple other artists
Do you remember a guy that's been In such an early song I've heard a rumour from Ground Control Oh no, don't say it's true
They got a message from the Action Man "I'm happy, hope you're happy too I've loved all I've needed love Sordid details following"
The shrieking of nothing is killing Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky We know Major Tom's a junkie Strung out in heaven's high Hitting an all-time low
Time and again I tell myself I'll stay clean tonight But the little green wheels are following me Oh no, not again I'm stuck with a valuable friend "I'm happy, hope you're happy too" One flash of light but no smoking pistol
I never done good things I never done bad things I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh Want an axe to break the ice Wanna come down right now
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky We know Major Tom's a junkie Strung out in heaven's high Hitting an all-time low
My mother said to get things done You'd better not mess with Major Tom My mother said to get things done You'd better not mess with Major Tom My mother said to get things done You'd better not mess with Major Tom My mother said to get things done You'd better not mess with Major Tom

'Cause I watch you oo every day I watch you pass me by I'll get you Yes in the end I'll get you Just watch me try Oh you make it hard to be hard but I'm trying my best Cause down inside I'm burning You want it, you get it, now take it and run I'll hide how much it's hurting Oh, well do you know and do you care?

We used to say our love will stay Until the cows come home And then the cows came home Do you know why? We used to say well love this way Till Hades freezes over And then it just froze over Do you know why?
We thought we had the future, dancing a jig for us Do you suppose our little dreams got too big for us?
We used to say our love will stay Forever and a night And now forevers gone Darling, do you know why? Neither do I
