At A Georgia Camp Meeting Composer(s): Kerry Mills Performer(s): John Philip Sousa and multiple other artists
A camp meeting took place, by the colored race; way down in Georgia There were folks large and small, lanky, lean, fat and tall, at this great Georgia camp meeting When church was out, how the "sisters" did shout, they were so happy But the young folks were tired and wished to be inspired, and hired a big brass band
When the big brass band began to play pretty music so gay, hats were thrown away Thought them foolish people their necks would break When they quit their laughing and talking and went to walking for a big choc'late cake
The old "sisters" raised sand, when they first heard the band; way down in Georgia The preacher did glare and the deacons did stare, at the young people prancing The band played so sweet that nobody could eat, 'twas so entrancing So the church folks agreed it was not a sinful deed, and they joined in with the rest
Doctor! Doctor!

I saw you there, just standing there And I thought I was only dreaming yeah I kissed you then, then once again You said you would come and dance with me Dance with me across the sea And we could feel the motion of a thousand dreams
Oh, Doctor, doctor, can't you see I'm burning, burning Oh, Doctor, doctor, is this love I'm feeling?
Ships at night give such delight We all leave before the morning light Please don't go no please don't go Cause I don't want to stay here on my own
Oh, Doctor, doctor, can't you see I'm burning, burning Oh, Doctor, doctor, is this love I'm feeling?
Oh, Doctor, doctor, can't you see I'm burning, burning Oh, Doctor, doctor, is this love I'm feeling?
Fever breathe your love on me (breathe your love) Take away my name (take away) Fever lay your hands on me (breathe your love) Never be the same
Oh, Doctor, doctor, can't you see I'm burning, burning Oh, Doctor, doctor, is this love I'm feeling?
Oh, Doctor, doctor, can't you see I'm burning, burning Oh, Doctor, doctor, is this love I'm feeling?
Come with me and make believe We can travel to eternity

Lime and limpid green, a second scene A fight between the blue you once knew Floating down, the sound resounds Around the icy waters underground Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda and Titania Neptune, Titan, Stars can frighten Lime and limpid green, a second scene A fight between the blue you once knew Floating down, the sound resounds Around the icy waters underground Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda and Titania Neptune, Titan, Stars can frighten Blinding signs flap Flicker, flicker, flicker blam Pow, pow Stairway scare Dan dare who's there? Lime and limpid green, the sounds around The icy waters under Lime and limpid green, the sounds around The icy waters underground
Doctor! Doctor! Composer(s): John Enwhistle Performer(s): The Who
Doctor, there's something wrong with me My health is not all that it used to be My heart is out of beat, I got chokers on my feet My eyesight's getting dimmer, I can't see
Doctor thanks for seeing me today, I'm glad I've got every sickness there is to be had I had whooping cough last month And today I've got the mumps And tomorrow I'll catch chicken pox as well
Doctor doctor doctor make me well I've not got long to go now I can tell Doctor doctor doctor make me well I've not got long to go I can tell I've not got long to go I can tell
Those pills I took have no effect at all Just the other day I had a nasty fall And I think I broke my jaw when it hit the kitchen floor And I'm shrinking last week I was five foot four
I've been getting shivers lately, is it flu? I know the bug is going round, what can I do? It's about to pick on me, I've still got the other three Do you think I caught smallpox I'd get flu?
chorus
Do you think it's time that I made out my will? I'll leave everything to you to pay my bill Just how long is there to go Please tell me I want to know But on second thoughts don't tell me, I'm too ill
Astronomy Composer(s): Joe Bouchard - Albert Bouchard - Sandy Pearlman First release by: Blue Öyster Cult - 1974
The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst Out at you from their hiding place Like acid and oil on a madman's face His reason tends to fly away
Like lesser birds on the four winds Like silver scrapes in May Now the sands become a crust And most of you have gone away
Come Susy dear, let's take a walk Just out there upon the beach I know you'll soon be married And you want to know where the winds come from
Well it's never said at all On the map that Carrie reads Behind the clock back there you know At the four winds bar
Hey, hey, hey, hey Four winds at the four winds bar Two doors locked and windows barred One door let to take you in The other one just mirrors it Hey, hey, hey, hey
In hellish glare and inference The other one's a duplicate The queenly flux, eternal light Or the light that never warms (repeat twice)
The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst Out at you from their hiding place Miss Carrie nurse and Suzy dear Would find themselves at the four winds bar
It's the nexus of the crisis The origin of storms Just the place to hopelessly Encounter time and then came me Hey, hey, hey, hey
Call me Desdenova, eternal light These gravely digs of mine Will surely prove a sight And don't forget my dog, fixed and consequent

Aah aah aah aah Aah aah aah aah
Help me with some communication For I don't know where I ought to begin At a tender age - or maybe later? Are all your patients very different? Or are they in the state I'm in?
Doctor, doctor Is it just a late reactionary block or an incurable disease? Won't you analyse me please?
Aah aah aah aah Aah aah aah aah
Animals must be very lucky Save a problematic tortoise or two For their life is based upon intuition Like instinctive calculation Am I making sense to you?
Doctor, doctor, You'd better find the time to help me reverse the clock Or I won't pay your fees Won't you analyse me please
Suddenly I've found inspiration From all this information that you have reaped So may I go now? Pay what I owe You know with all this lying down I think I'm gonna fall asleep
Doctor, doctor Just give me some perscription To relieve the shock of slight catastrophy And don't you analyse me please
Aah aah aah aah Doctor, doctor Aah aah aah aah Doctor, doctor
Velha estampa na parede A toalha do jantar Na fumaça um anjo negro vai chegar Por trás da veneziana A cigana me falar Que o inferno monstruoso vai entrar Mas se o astro vagabundo Na verdade vai chegar Não quero ver o fim do mundo Vou dormir em teu jardim...

Astral Weeks Composer(s): Van Morrison First release by: Van Morrison - 1968
If I ventured in the slipstream Between the viaducts of your dream Where immobile steel rims crack And the ditch in the back roads stop Could you find me? Would you kiss-a my eyes? To lay me down In silence easy To be born again To be born again From the far side of the ocean If I put the wheels in motion And I stand with my arms behind me And I'm pushin' on the door Could you find me? Would you kiss-a my eyes? To lay me down In silence easy To be born again To be born again There you go Standin' with the look of avarice Talkin' to Huddie Ledbetter Showin' pictures on the wall Whisperin' in the hall And pointin' a finger at me There you go, there you go Standin' in the sun darlin' With your arms behind you And your eyes before There you go Takin' good care of your boy Seein' that he's got clean clothes Puttin' on his little red shoes I see you know he's got clean clothes A-puttin' on his little red shoes A-pointin' a finger at me And here I am Standing in your sad arrest Trying to do my very best Lookin' straight at you Comin' through, darlin' Yeah, yeah, yeah If I ventured in the slipstream Between the viaducts of your dreams Where immobile steel rims crack And the ditch in the back roads stop Could you find me Would you kiss-a my eyes Lay me down In silence easy To be born again To be born again To be born again In another world In another world In another time Got a home on high Ain't nothing but a stranger in this world I'm nothing but a stranger in this world I got a home on high In another land So far away So far away Way up in the heaven Way up in the heaven Way up in the heaven Way up in the heaven In another time In another place In another time In another place Way up in the heaven Way up in the heaven We are goin' up to heaven We are goin' to heaven In another time In another place In another time In another place In another face
Doctor My Eyes
Composer(s): Jackson Browne
First release by: Jackson Browne - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists
Doctor, my eyes have seen the years And the slow parade of fears without crying Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could To see the evil and the good without hiding You must help me if you can
Doctor, my eyes Tell me what is wrong Was I unwise to leave them open for so long
'Cause I have wandered through this world And as each moment has unfurled I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams People go just where there will I never noticed them until I got this feeling That it's later than it seems
Doctor, my eyes Tell me what you see I hear their cries Just say if it's too late for me
Doctor, my eyes Cannot see the sky Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry
Close my eyes, leave my body flying high across the universe I come down, strange scenes evolving can this be
I am free unknown syllables, magic carpet ride technicolor landscape where nobody cries then I look around, wondering who am I where is this place, another nightmare no longer in a dream nowhere is reality
I look around, somebody calls me far away, don't just follow me if I die no time will die no one sees you
lost in space unknown syllables, magic carpet ride technicolor landscapes where nobody cries in my dream wandering you and I where is this place another nightmare no longer in a dream
nowhere is reality, nightmare nowhere is reality, nightmare

Astérix est là! Ça va faire mal, ça va cogner la bagarre Astérix est là! Seul contre les Dieux, contre l'odieux César
Avé César, t'auras pas d'oscar T'as l'air romantique mais ta Rome est en toc Arrête ton cirque, c'est pas toi qu'on croque Pauvre légionnaire, tu rames c'est la galère
Et pendant qu'à Rome, ils l'ont dans le baba Il n'y a qu'un homme, un gaulois Pour crier "Go home!" aux romains délicats Qui tombent dans les pommes, faut voir ça
Astérix est là! Et il se bat comme un gaulois Astérix est là! Et pour César c'est pas la joie
Astérix est là! Ça va faire mal, ça va cogner la bagarre Astérix est là! Seul contre les Dieux, contre l'odieux César
Avé César, tu cherches la bagarre T'as qu'une idée fixe mais t'oublie Obélix Arrière Satan! Ancien combattant En sandales, en plum, t'as le look qui dégomme
Et pendant qu'ils jouent aux cowboys, aux indiens Ils en prennent des coups, ces Romains C'est fou c'qu'ils sont fous ces playboys italiens Ils en perdent tout leur latin
Astérix est là! Il fait la loi et des dégâts Astérix est là! Et il vaincra de son combat
Astérix est là! Ça va faire mal, ça va cogner la bagarre Astérix est là! Seul contre les Dieux, contre l'odieux César
Avé César, Julius superstar Tu fumes des Gauloises Mais un conseil: écrase! Arrête ton char, joue pas les ringards Un Romain ça va, trois bonjour les dégâts!
Et pendant qu'à Rome, ils l'ont dans le baba Il n'y a qu'un homme, un gaulois Pour crier "Go home!" aux romains délicats Qui tombent dans les pommes, faut voir ça
Astérix est là! Et il se bat comme un gaulois Astérix est là! Et pour César c'est pas la joie
Astérix est là! Ça va faire mal, ça va cogner la bagarre Astérix est là! Seul contre les Dieux, contre l'odieux César

Assis Sur Le Rebord Du Monde Composer(s): Francis Cabrel Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Si j'ai bien toute ma mémoire Disait Dieu dans un coin du ciel J'avais commencé une histoire Sur une planète nouvelle, toute bleue Bleue, pour pas qu'on la confonde Je vais aller m'asseoir sur le rebord du monde Voir ce que les hommes en ont fait J'y avais mis des gens de passage Et j'avais mélangé les couleurs Je leur avais appris le partage Ils avaient répété par cur "Toujours" ! tous toujours dans la même ronde Je vais aller m'asseoir sur le rebord du monde Voir ce que les hommes en ont fait Je me souviens d'avoir dit aux hommes Pour chaque fille une colline de fleurs Et puis j'ai planté des arbres à pommes Où tout le monde a mordu de bon cur Et partout, partout des rivières profondes Je vais aller m'asseoir sur le rebord du monde Voir ce que les hommes en ont fait Soudain toute la ville s'arrête Il paraît que les fleuves ont grossi Les enfants s'approchent, s'inquiètent Et demandent "pourquoi tous ces bruits?" Sans doute, Dieu et sa barbe blonde Dieu qui s'est assis sur le rebord du monde Et qui pleure de le voir tel qu'il est! Dieu qui s'est assis sur le rebord du monde Et qui pleure de le voir tel qu'il est
Matthew:
This is the world of Doctor Dolittle
The wonderful world of Doctor Dolittle
Where crocodiles talk
And elephants sing
And animals do most any old thing
Where polar bears wear top hats
And leopards with spots wear spats
Well, that's life in the world of Doctor Dolittle
Doves start to coo when they see Dolittle
He has a profound philosophy
If animals can be friends, says he
Well then, why can't we?
Say "how-d'you-do" to Doctor Dolittle
Life is a zoo to Doctor Dolittle
Where antilopes lope
And ostriches fan
And kangaroos do that kangaroos can
To make the hyenas laugh
As long as a long giraffe
Matthew & Tommy:
Every calf starts to moo when they see Dolittle
Even the few who used to moo little
For all of the birds and beasts agree
He has a profound philosophy
And so why can't we?
Yes, all of the birds and beasts agree
He has a proud philosophy
And so why can't we...
Matthew:
"Do little" things to help them
Both:
Why can't we?
Matthew:
G'night, Tom
sweet dreams!
Tommy & The Animals:
This is the world of Doctor Dolittle
A rare world that people get to view little
Where penguins parade in black cravats
An' sabre-toothed tigers purr like cats
At yaks that relax an' doze
While hippos play dominoes...
Roosters crow from the moment they see Dolittle
They used to... -a-doodle-doo little!
The answer is not too hard to see
If he can bring so much harmony
Well then, why can't we
"Do little" things to help him?
Why... can't... we?
