    Het Bier
    ((Adapted from: La Bière (by Jacques Brel) - 1968))
    ((South-African Version: Drinklied (by Herman van den Berg) - 2007))
    Composer(s): Jacques Brel - Ernst van Altena
    Performer(s): Frank Cools - 1995



    Het geurt naar bier, van Londen tot Berlijn
    Het ruikt naar bier, en God, dat is fijn!
    Het geurt naar bier, van Londen tot Berlijn
    Het ruikt naar bier en laat ons vrolijk zijn!

    't Zit vol Uilenspiegel
    En neefjes van Tijl
    Vol boeren en meiden
    In Brueghelse stijl
    't Zit vol noordewind
    Die bijt in de mond
    Van zwijnen die ronken
    Met pensen rond!

    't Zit vol volle glazen
    't Is machtig en tof
    't Zit voller met schuim
    Dan 's zondags het lof!
    't Zit vol bittere kou
    Want het is buiten kijf:
    Bij ons heeft een meid
    Alleen 's zomers een lijf!

    't Zit vol ouwe mannen
    Die bibberend en dor
    Hun 'vroeger' bepraten
    Met schuim in hun snor
    't Zit vol jonge jongens
    Die, leve de lol!
    Hun puisten beklinken
    Met Prosit! En Skol!

    't Zit vol Godverdomme
    En vol Amsterdam
    't Zit vol blonde vrouwen
    Van noordelijke stam
    't Zit vol ronde moekes
    Met in hun brevier
    Een borst voor de liefde
    Een borst voor het bier!

    't Zit vol horizons
    't Is geen slappe thee
    't Is sterk en 't is blond
    En de duivel werkt mee
    Wij hebben geen Alpen
    Dus brouwen wij hier
    De vlakte vol bergen
    Met bergen van bier!...

    Don't Wait Too Long Composer(s): Sunny Skylar Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



    Don't Wait Too Long
    You are the summer and I am the autumn
    Don't wait too long
    Your song's beginning while mine's nearly sung
    Don't wait too long

    Fall is a lovely time of the year
    When leaves turn to golden brown
    But soon fall is ending and winter is near
    And the leaves start tumblin' down

    Why must the moments go by in such haste?
    Don't wait too long
    Winter is coming, I've no time to waste
    Don't wait too long

    So while my heart's gay and foolish and free and still can sing its song
    Share every precious moment with me, don't you wait too long

    Don't wait too long

    Don't wait too long

    So while my heart's gay and foolish and free and still can sing its song
    Share every precious moment with me, don't wait too long

    You Only Think Of Me (When You're Lonely)
    Composer(s): Ben Weisman - Sid Wayne
    Performer(s): Jimmy Dean



    You only think of me when you're lonely
    After all the laughter's been and gone
    When the streets are filled with neon shadows only
    I'm a shoulder you come crying on

    Each time I take you back I know again you'll hurt me so
    Still this heart of mine just lets you come and go
    You only think of me when you're lonely
    But I'm lonely thinking of you all the time
    Each time I take you back I know again you'll hurt me so
    Still this heart of mine just lets you come and go
    You only think of me when you're lonely
    But I'm lonely thinking of you all the time

    Don't Turn Me Away
    Composer(s): Graham Russell
    Performer(s): Air Supply



    We shared such a special love
    It seemed to have no end
    But now it hurts me just to remember
    Your eyes used to tell me so much
    That words could never find
    And now you say you don’t know
    Where your future lies
    But you’ve got to find it now
    Or get left behind

    Please don’t turn me away
    I can’t forget it all in just one day
    Take some time to speak your mind
    But say it’s not over
    Please don’t turn me away
    Don’t close the door on us this way
    I’m so sure that there’s much more
    You just have to tell me

    Remember those fireside nights
    It’s not that long ago
    You said you wanted to stay there forever
    I have you the strength of my hand
    When things were running low
    I didn’t know you would go back on
    What you said
    There must be some reasons there
    That you don’t want to share

    Please don’t turn me away
    I can’t forget it all in just one day
    Take some time to speak your mind
    But say it’s not over
    Please don’t turn me away
    Don’t close the door on us this way
    I’m so sure that there’s much more
    You just have to tell me

    And just when you needed me
    I said I’d be there until the end
    What is it that’s changed in you
    When all I want is to be your friend
    (I need a friend)
    Don’t turn me away

    The Peace Proposal
    Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
    Performer(s): Shel Silverstein



    Said General Clay to General Gore
    "Really must we fight this sill war
    To kill and die is such a bore"
    "I quite agree," said General Gore

    Said General Gore to General Clay
    "We could go to the beach today
    And have some ice cream on the way"
    "A grand idea", said General Clay

    Said General Clay to General Gore
    "We'll build sand castles on the shore"
    Said General Gore, "We'll splash and play"
    "Let's leave right now", said General Clay

    Said General Gore to General Clay
    "But what if the sea is closed today
    And what if the sand's been blown away?"
    "A dreadful thought", said General Clay

    Said General Gore to General Clay
    I've always feared the ocean's spray
    And we may drown." "It's true we may
    It chills my blood", said General Clay

    Said General Clay to General Gore
    "My bathing suit is slightly tore
    We better go on with our war"
    "I quite agree", said General Gore

    Then General Clay charged General Gore
    As bullets flew and cannons roared
    And now, alas, there is no more
    Of General Clay or General Gore

    Don't Turn Around
    Composer(s): Albert Hammond - Diane Warren
    First release by: Tina Turner - 1986
    Covered by multiple other artists



    If you wanna leave
    baby
    I won't beg you to stay

    And if you wanna go
    darling
    maybe it's better that way
    I'm gonna be strong
    I'm gonna be fine

    Don't worry about this heart of mine
    Walk out the door
    see if I care
    go on and go now
    but

    Don't turn around
    'cause you're gonna see my heart breaking

    Don't turn around
    I don't want you seeing me crying
    Just walk away
    it's tearing me apart that you're leaving

    I'm letting you go and I won't let you know

    Baby
    I won't let you know

    I won't miss your arms around me
    holding me tight
    And if you ever think about me just know
    that I'm gonna be alright
    I'm gonna be strong
    I'm gonna be fine

    Don't worry about this heart of mine
    I know I'll survive it
    I'll make it through

    And I'll learn to live without you
    but

    Don't turn around

    'cause you're gonna see my heart breaking

    I wish I could scream out loud that I love you

    I wish I could say to you: Don't go
    don't go
    don't go!

    Don't turn around

    Don't turn around
    I don't want you seeing me crying
    Just walk away
    it's tearing me apart that you're leaving

    I'm letting you go

    Don't turn around

    'cause you're gonna see my heart breaking

    Oh ever since my masocistic baby went and left me (she has left you a again)
    I got nothin' nothin' to hit but the wall (poor wall)
    She loved me when I beat her (oh they do love that)
    But then I started actin' sweeter (oh mistake)
    Oh and that ain't no way to treat her at all

    She is the one that I'm dreaming of and you always hurt the one you love
    And ever since my masochistic baby went and left me
    Nothin' to hit but the wall (what you know)
    Nothin' to belt but my pants (yes I've suspendors)
    Nothin' to whip but the cream (it gets so nasty)
    Nothin' to beat but the eggs
    Oh nothin' to punch but the clock
    Oh nothin' to strike but the match (light my fire)
    Oh nothin' nothin' to hit but the wall

    Don't Try Your Jive On Me Composer(s): Leonard Feather - Edgar Sampson Performer(s): Fats Waller; Una Mae Carlisle



    You tell me you love me only
    Say you're feeling so lonely
    But I know you're lyin'
    That's why I'm cryin'
    Now, don't you try your jive on me

    Oh, you asked me a whole gang of questions
    You make all kinds of suggestions
    If only you meant it
    I wouldn't resent it
    But don't try your jive on me

    All night long you hang around
    Can't you see you bring me down?
    Yes, yes!

    I know that you think you're a sender
    You'll never make me surrender
    In fact you don't rate
    I'm telling you, gate
    Now don't try your jive on me!

    Bring it on out!
    Bring 'em some jive!
    Yes! Yes!

    You don't rate

    Na’ te debo
    Na’ te pido
    Me voy de tu vera, olvídame ya
    Que he pagao con oro tus carnes morenas
    No maldigas, paya, que estamos en paz
    No te quiero
    No me quieras
    Si to’ me lo diste, yo na’ te pedí
    No me eches en cara que to’ lo perdiste
    También a tu vera yo to’ lo perdí
    Bien paga’
    Si tú eres la bien paga’
    Porque tus besos compré
    Y a mí te supiste dar
    Por un puñao de parne
    Bien paga’, bien paga’
    Bien paga’ fuiste, mujer
    No te engaño
    Quiero a otra
    No creas por eso que te traicioné
    No cayó en mis brazos
    Me dio sólo un beso
    El único beso que yo no pagué
    Na’ te pido
    Na’ me llevo
    Entre esas paredes dejo sepultas
    Penas y alegrías, que te doy y me diste
    Y esas joyas que ahora pa' otro lucirás

    Don't Treat Me Like A Child
    Composer(s): Mike Hawker - John Schroeder
    Performer(s): Helen Shapiro



    Well, just because I’m in my teens
    And I still go to school
    Don’t think that I been childish dreams
    I’m nobody’s fool
    Don’t mother me, that makes me wild
    And please don’t treat me like a child

    It’s often said that youngsters
    Should be seen and not be heard
    But I want you to realise
    That it’s quite absurd
    Don’t wanna be so meek and mild
    So please don’t treat me like a child

    Gonna be my own adviser
    ‘Cause my mind’s my own
    Then I will be much the wiser
    My own point of view
    Has got to be known

    The best years of my life, I know
    Are those when I am young
    And since I’m sure that this is so
    Gotta have my fun
    So if I feel like running wild
    Well, please don’t treat me like a child

    Gonna be my own adviser
    ‘Cause my mind’s my own
    Then I will be much the wiser
    My own point of view
    Has got to be known

    The best years of my life, I know
    Are those when I am young
    And since I’m sure that this is so
    Gotta have my fun
    So if I feel like running wild
    Well, please don’t treat me like a child

    Don’t ever treat me like a child

    La Bicyclette
    Composer(s): Francis Lai - Pierre Barouh
    First release by: Yves Montand - 1969



    Quand on partait de bon matin
    Quand on partait sur les chemins
    À bicyclette
    Nous étions quelques bons copains
    Y avait Fernand y avait Firmin
    Y avait Francis et Sébastien
    Et puis Paulette

    On était tous amoureux d'elle
    On se sentait pousser des ailes
    À bicyclette
    Sur les petits chemins de terre
    On a souvent vécu l'enfer
    Pour ne pas mettre pied à terre
    Devant Paulette

    Faut dire qu'elle y mettait du cœur
    C'était la fille du facteur
    À bicyclette
    Et depuis qu'elle avait huit ans
    Elle avait fait en le suivant
    Tous les chemins environnants
    À bicyclette

    Quand on approchait la rivière
    On déposait dans les fougères
    Nos bicyclettes
    Puis on se roulait dans les champs
    Faisant naître un bouquet changeant
    De sauterelles, de papillons
    Et de rainettes

    Quand le soleil à l'horizon
    Profilait sur tous les buissons
    Nos silhouettes
    On revenait fourbus contents
    Le cœur un peu vague pourtant
    De n'être pas seul un instant
    Avec Paulette

    Prendre furtivement sa main
    Oublier un peu les copains
    La bicyclette
    On se disait c'est pour demain
    J'oserai, j'oserai demain
    Quand on ira sur les chemins
    À bicyclette

    La Bête Immonde
    Composer(s): Claude Lemesle - Michel Fugain
    Performer(s): Michel Fugain



    Elle est vivante, elle a encore
    La haine au ventre, la rage au corps
    La bête immonde

    Qu'elle tourne au loin comme un vautour
    Ou Rampe et ronge tout autour
    La bête immonde

    Depuis le temps qu'elle a fait le trou
    De sa tanière grise
    Là-bas, ici, partout
    Au coeur de chacun de nous
    Elle est l'enfant que la bêtise
    A conçu avec l'ombre
    La bête immonde

    Depuis le temps qu'on laisse faire
    Tous les suppôts de son enfer
    La bête immonde

    Qu'elle a vomi des Gestapo
    Dans toutes les guerres, tous les ghettos
    La bête immonde

    Que les salauts dans les salons
    Lui trouvent des excuses
    Lui trouvent des raisons
    Plébiscitées par les cons
    Elle est la fille de la rue
    Qui naît des décombres
    La bête immonde

    O pleure, pleure ma mère la terre
    Des larmes de siècles et de sang
    O pleure, pleure des gouttes d'océan

    Sur les chants qui montent des wagons
    Les camps, les tortionnaires
    Les frères qui clouent leurs frères
    Au poteau des religions

    O pleure ma mère la terre
    Au fond de tes entrailles gronde
    La bête immonde

    Mais qui va lui planter le pieu dans le coeur?
    Qui va l'amputer du goût de l'horreur?

    Elle qui étrangle les ethnies
    Etrangle les poètes
    Etouffe les hommes honnêtes
    Au baillon des calomnies
    Il lui faut faire sauter la tête
    Avec sa propre bombe
    La bête immonde

    Depuis qu'elle nous pollue l'histoire
    A coup de glaive, à coup de gloire
    La bête immonde

    Que son crachat sur ton drapeau
    Dépend de la couleur de peau
    La bête immonde

    Depuis qu'elle rôde avec sa faux
    Emblème de son règne
    Depuis qu'elle dit Je t'aime
    Aux cagoules, aux échafauds
    Il faur cribler de chrysanthèmes
    Jusqu'à ce qu'elle succombe
    La bête immonde

    O pleure, pleure ma mère la terre
    Des larmes de siècles et de sang
    O pleure, pleure des gouttes d'océan

    Sur les bouquins, dans les bûchers
    Les cris des ratonnades
    Sur les croix des croisades
    Et les continents barbelés

    O pleure, ma mère la terre
    Au fond de tes entrailles gronde
    La bête immonde

    Mais qui va lui planter le pieu dans le coeur?
    Qui va l'amputer du goût de l'horreur?

    O pleure, ma mère la terre
    Au fond de tes entrailles gronde
    La bête immonde

    O pleure, ma mère la terre
    Au fond de tes entrailles gronde
    La bête immonde

    Well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe Given you don't know by now An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe It'll never do somehow When your rooster crows at the break of dawn Look out your window and I'll be gone You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on Don't think twice, it's all right An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe That light I never knowed An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe I'm on the dark side of the road Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say To try and make me change my mind and stay We never did too much talkin' anyway But don't think twice, it's all right So it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal Like you never did before An' it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal I can't hear you any more I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' walkin' down the road I once loved a woman, a child I'm told I give her my heart but she wanted my soul But don't think twice, it's all right So long, honey babe I'm walking down that long and lonesome road Where I'm bound, I can't tell Goodbye is too good a word, gal So I'll just say fare thee well I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind You could have done better but I don't mind You just kinda wasted my precious time But don't think twice, it's all right

    La Berlue
    Composer(s): Françoise Hardy
    Performer(s): Françoise Hardy; Etienne Daho



    Pour voir
    l'intérieur de ma tête
    ses eaux-plates, ses tempêtes
    et ses idées reçues
    pour voir
    l'intérieur de mon âme
    ses minuscules drames
    ses états mal vécus
    pour voir
    l'intérieur de mon cœur
    ses films et ses erreurs
    et son peu d'étendue
    pour voir
    l'intérieur de ma tête
    il te faut des lunettes
    car tu as la berlue

    Don't The Girls All Get Prettier At Closing Time
    Composer(s): Baker Knight
    Performer(s): Mickey Gilley; Ralph Emery



    The girls all get prettier at closing time
    They all begin to look like movie stars
    The girls all get prettier at closing time
    When the change starts taking place
    It puts a glow on every face
    Of the falling angels of the back street bars

    If I could rate'em on a scale from 1 to 10
    I'm lookin' for a 9 but 8 would slip right in
    A few more drinks and I might slip to a 5 or even a 4
    But when tomorrow morning comes
    And I wake up with a number 1
    I swear I'll never do it anymore

    The girls all get prettier at closing time
    They all begin to look like movie stars
    The girls all get prettier at closing time
    When the change starts taking place
    It puts a glow on every face
    Of the falling angels of the back street bars

    Now, I don't mean to criticize the girls at all
    I know Robert Redford, even overhauls
    We all picture in our minds a girl that looks just right
    Ain't it funny, ain't it strange
    The way a man's opinion changes
    When he starts to face that lonely night

    The girls all get prettier at closing time
    They all begin to look like movie stars
    The girls all get prettier at closing time
    When the change starts taking place
    It puts a glow on every face
    Of the falling angels of the back street bars

    La Belleza
    Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
    Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute; Miguel Bosé



    Enemigo de la guerra
    Y su reverso, la medalla
    no propuse otra batalla
    que librar al corazón
    De ponerse cuerpo a tierra
    bajo el paso de una historia
    Que iba a alzar hasta la gloria
    el poder de la razón
    Y ahora que ya no hay trincheras
    el combate es la escalera
    Y el que trepe a lo mas alto
    pondrá a salvo su cabeza
    Aunque se hunda en el asfalto
    la belleza...
    Míralos, como reptiles
    al acecho de la presa
    negociando en cada mesa
    maquillajes de ocasión
    siguen todos los raíles
    Que conduzcan a la cumbre
    locos por que nos deslumbre
    su parásita ambición
    Antes iban de profetas
    Y ahora el éxito es su meta
    mercaderes, traficantes
    mas que nausea dan tristeza
    no rozaron ni un instante
    la belleza...
    Y me hablaron de futuros
    fraternales, solidarios
    donde todo lo falsario
    acabaría en el pilón
    Y ahora que se cae el muro
    ya no somos tan iguales
    tanto vendes, tanto vales
    ¡viva la revolución!
    Reivindico el espejismo
    De intentar ser uno mismo
    ese viaje hacia la nada
    que consiste en la certeza
    de encontrar en tu mirada
    la belleza...

    (Don't That Take The) Rag Off'n The Bush
    Composer(s): Johnny Mercer - Gene De Paul
    Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney; Frank Comstock



    Just remember, your Government is spending
    one million dollars on one bomb just to blow your
    homes off the face of the Earth
    So show your 'preciation...
    Don't that take the rag off'n the bush?
    Don't that take the tassel off'n the corn?
    Of all the very ordinary most unloved unneccesary
    Places on this earth they settled on your'n
    They settled on your'n
    As sho' as you're born
    They settled on your'n
    Don't that take the cake
    At the church social bake
    Don't that take the huckleberry pie?
    Think of all the rest
    Thinkin' we is the best,
    It clear makes you bust right down and cry
    Don't that take the tail off'n the bear?
    Don't that take the heffer out of the barn?
    Of all the very ordinary, most unloved, unnecessary
    Places on this earth, the fav'rite is our'n
    The fav'rite is our'n
    Not anyplace fur'eign
    The fav'rite is our'n!
    Dogpatch!
    Don't that take the beard off'n a goat?
    Don't that take the nap off'n the yarn?
    Of all the very ordinary, most unloved, unneccesary
    Places on this earth, the fav'rite is our'n
    Don't that take the rag off'n the bush?
    Don't that take the tassel off'n the corn?
    Of all the very ordinary, most unloved, unneccesary
    Places on this earth, the fav'rite is our'n... Dog Patch!

    Composer(s): Sacha Distel - Jean Broussolle
    First performance/First release by: Sacha Distel - 1963/1964

    Ô la belle vie
    Sans amour
    Sans soucis
    Sans problème
    Hum la belle vie
    On est seul
    On est libre
    Et l'on s'aime
    On s'amuse à passer avec tous ses copains
    Des nuits blanches
    Qui se penchent
    Sur les petits matins
    Mais la belle vie
    Sans amour
    Sans soucis
    Sans problème

    Oui la belle vie
    On s'enlace
    On est triste
    Et l'on traîne
    Alors pense que moi je t'aime
    Et quand tu auras compris
    Réveille-toi
    Je serai là
    Pour toi

    Don't That Beat All
    Composer(s): Les Vandyke
    Performer(s): Adam Faith



    Don't that beat all I ever heard, dear
    Don't that beat every single word
    You say you've changed your mind
    Oh Baby, that's unkind
    They say that love is blind
    The more I look, the more I find

    Don't that beat all I ever saw, dear
    Don't that beat all and that's for sure
    More fool that other guy
    He's gonna get the old go-by
    Well, well, don't that beat all

    Play the sad, sad, story

    You change your lovers fast
    So our affair is past
    But now the die is cast
    And he lasts longest who lasts last

    There's one thing more I wanna say, dear
    When you come begging back one day
    I'll take one look at you
    And then I'll tell you what you can do
    Well, well, ha-ha
    Don't that beat all
