Lady Godiva Composer(s): Gordon Mills - Mike Leander Performer(s): Peter & Gordon and multiple other artists
Seventeen, a beauty queen She made a ride that caused a scene In the town
Her long blonde hair Hangin' down around her knees All the cats who dig striptease Prayin' for a little breeze Her long blonde hair Falling down across her arms Hiding all the lady's charms Lady Godiva
She found fame and made her name A hollywood director came into town And said to her "How'd you like to be a star?" "You're a girl that could go far" "'specially dressed the way you are" She smiled at him Gave her pretty head a shake That was Lady G's mistake A-hey-hey-hey Lady Godiva
He directs certificate 'X' And people now are craning their necks To see her 'cause she's a star One that everybody knows Finished with the striptease shows Now she can't afford her clothes
Her long blonde hair Lyin' on the barber's floor Doesn't need it long anymore Lady Godiva

Are you ready, Steve? Aha

As a matter of fact his eyes are red as the sun
And a girl in the corner let no one ignore her
'Cause she thinks she's the passionate one
Oh, yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing, and they all started grooving
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
And the man at the back said
Everyone attack and it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said
Boy, I wanna warn ya, it'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz
I'm reaching out for something
Touching nothing's all I ever do
Oh, I softly call you over
When you appear there's nothing left of you, aha
Now the man in the back
Is ready to crack as he raises his hands to the sky
And the girl in the corner is ev'ryone's mourner
She could kill you with a wink of her eye
Oh yeah, it was electric, so frightfully hectic
And the band started leaving, 'cause they all stopped breathing
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
And the man at the back said
Everyone attack and it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said
Boy, I wanna warn ya, it'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz
Oh yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing, and they all started grooving
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
And the man at the back said
Everyone attack and it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said
Boy, I wanna warn ya, it'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz
It's it's a ballroom blitz, it's it's a ballroom blitz
It's it's a ballroom blitz, yeah, it's a ballroom blitz
Lady Fuchsia Composer(s): John Ford - Richard Hudson Performer(s): The Strawbs
A child denied all love can't weep But bravely bears her life alone So Fuchsia as you try to sleep You dream of friends you've never known
In troubled years when no-one cared You searched for comfort everywhere For heavy burdens never shared Became too much for one to bear
So much to give But those who live Don't know of you Your fantasy Of love to be Cannot come true Oh Lady Fuchsia Oh Lady Fuchsia
Now poised above the castle walls You look your last on lonely skies Night owls pray for you as they call Returning ere the dawn shall rise
Your loveless life Has led you here Not knowing why Your troubled mind's No longer clear To live or die Oh Lady Fuchsia Oh Lady Fuchsia Oh Lady Fuchsia Oh Lady Fuchsia
I remember the day when I was the night And the sun was my eyes in the moon But I changed into day and the night flew away And I sang to my lover the moon I remember the sound when my hair felt the ground And the words that were written on you But you were not there so I slept on the stair And you came in a lemon balloon Who are you? I remember the breeze and the soft creamy cheese That we gave to the dowes on the lawn But the grass was so green that it soaked up the cream And the dowes flew away and were gone But I saw the smiles that were deep in their eyes And saw the joke was on you but I could not laugh I went back to the grass and you came in a rainbow balloon Who are you?
The Lady From 29 Palms Composer(s): Allie Wrubel Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters and multiple other artists
She left twenty-nine broken hearts Broken in twenty-nine parts Now there are twenty-nine fellas complainin' to their moms About the lady from 29 Palms
She got twenty-nine Cadillacs Twenty-nine sables from Sach's They came from twenty-nine fellas who never had their arms Around the lady from 29 Palms
She's a yip-yip-yippy-eyed dolly A new kinda gal of the west And yip-yip-yippy by-golly Whatever she does, she does her best
She rides twenty-nine trails to bliss Knows twenty-nine ways how to kiss She is a gal that you dream of, you'd love to have your arms Around the lady from 29 Palms
Ballin' The Jack
Composer(s): James Henry Burris - Chris Smith
Performer(s): Judy Garland & Gene Kelly
and multiple other artists
From coast to coast From Canada to Mexico They're doin' a new dance A tried-and-a-true dance That will sweep the land And you'll think it's so grand You'll have to learn how to do it So please don't boo woo it Coz we've got this little dance That's gonna rise to fame It's sure to put most any other dance to shame The turkey-trot, the bunny-hug, the tickley-toe Will be forgotten when we start to go! Mr. Leader, won't you start the syncopation? And we'll begin our little demonstration...
Now, first you put your two knees Close up tight Then you sway it to the left Then you sway it to the right Step around the floor kind of nice and light Then you twist around and twist around With all of your might Stretch your lovin' arms straight out in space Then you do the eagle rock with style and grace Swing your foot way round and bring it back Now that's what I call ballin' the jack!
Balliamo, ed ha tanto tempo che non lo facciamo Balliamo c'e la musica che piace pure a te Andiamo, questa sera sono in vena di follie Noi due stretti, stretti come tanto tempo fa
Che scena, più ti guardo e piu mi sembri una regina Sei stupenda nei tuo abito da sera Cosi bella non ti avevo vista mai
Sei grande quando dici che tu ami l'incosciente Più grande quando a me dici che anche tu mi vuoi così D'accordo, ho un carattere che un pò particolare E pure dimmi chi tu puo capire più di me?
Balliamo sempre scritta per noi due questa canzone è una storia que assomiglia al nostro amore un'amore messo pazzo come me Palliamo, no vorrei che fosse lùltima canzone Tre minuti per convincerti che è amore
Lady Di And I Composer(s): Joan Baez Performer(s): Joan Baez
Wake me with kisses in the afternoon The butler knows any time you arrive is never too soon He knows just where you are by the sound of your car He'll be waiting there by the spiral stair
You could drive me crazy with your unkempt hair You don't know what a comb is and frankly, I don't care 'Cause you're fast and you're wild and you make the butler smile By bringing me flowers like meteor showers Which reminds me of something that I've recently seen It was a look in the eye of Lady Di
As she stood on the balcony knowing the last fantasy of the century was in her long white veil Maybe she would rather have you than the Prince of Wales And all the jewels and the crown and all the villages and towns that line the sea of the monarchy
And while I cut the roses, what about Lady Di? She's a child of the 80's just like you and like I Think of all of the things that she'll never do See a rock and roll show, get a heart-shaped tattoo Wear a t-shirt around in the middle of town Take a Harley ride as the sun goes down
And think of all the music that I make with you Let's take a walk on the wild side, baby, I'm in love with you I will leave my Dior by the cabinet door And I'll leave my bouquet on the breakfast tray My parents are out, let's head north of the bay Maybe go for a sail just like the Prince of Wales
Does he ever love her in the afternoon? Was the kiss that she gave him in public just a little too soon? And it's really a shame, she'll take half of the blame For the boys in the Maze and their numbered days Yes, there's a tear in the eye of Lady Di
As she looks from the balcony knowing the last fantasy of the century is probably a lie My heart goes out to you, Princess, lovely Lady Di For all that it seems, here I stand in my jeans For whatever it means, it is I who am queen
Lady D'Arbanville ((Adapted from: Lady D'Arbanville (by Cat Stevens) - 1970)) ((French Version: Lady D'Arbanville (by Dalida) - 1970)) Composer(s): Cat Stevens - Daniele Pace - Gianni Argenio Performer(s): Dalida - 1970
My lady d'Arbanville Io so il tuo destino Vivrai la tua vita Soltanto in un mattino, soltante in un mattino My lady d'Arbanville Io specchio si spezzo L'inverno è venuto La primavera no, la primavera no Un giorno di maggio Un uomo ti sveglio Dormi nei tuoi occhi E poi ti abbandono, e poi ti abbandono
La, la, la...
O lady d'Arbanville Io mi ricordero Tornando al castello Lo specchio si spezzo, io specchio si spezzo
Le tue mani bianche Qualcuno accarezzo Ma poi solo il vento D'amoe ti parlo, d'amore ti parlo
Un giorno di maggio un uomo ti sveglio Dormi nei tuoi occhi E poi ti abbandono, e poi ti abbandono O Lady my Lady Io specchio si spezzo La primavera no, la primavera no La primavera no, la primavera no
Ballerina Composer(s): Jimmy Kennedy Performer(s): Troise & His Mandoliers
Its only when I see the ballerina dancing On my guitar I start romancing I play a tune that says I love you Each evening while her castanets are gaily beating On my guitar I keep repeating A little tune that says I love you
I watch her cool dark eyes That glow like midnight skies She doesnt realise that some night soon With the stars above her, Ill tell her how I love her When I see the ballerina dancing On my guitar I start romancing I play a tune that says I love you
When I see the ballerina dancing On my guitar I start romancing I play a tune that says I love you

Covered by multiple other artists
Dance, ballerina, dance And do your pirouette in rhythm with your achin' heart Dance, ballerina, dance You mustn't once forget a dancer has to dance the part
Whirl, ballerina, whirl And just ignore the chair that's empty in the second row This is your moment, girl Although he's not out there applauding as you steal the show
Once you said his love must wait its turn You wanted fame instead I guess that's your concern We live and learn
And love is gone, ballerina, gone So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance Dance on and on and on A thousand people here have come to see the show As 'round and 'round you go So ballerina, dance Dance, dance!
Whirl ballerina

Balladen Om Fredrik Akare
Composer(s): Cornelis Vreeswijk
Performer(s): Cornelis Vreeswijk
Vart är du på väg, Fredrik Åkare?
Ingenstans, ingenstans
Då kan vi ta varann i hand
och trå en lustig dans
För jag är ensam på min stig
och ganska tveksam om
vart denna dag mig bära skall
/:och varifrån jag kom:/
Käre Fredrik, sa jag, ge mig nu
ett uppriktigt svar
Säg mig, var är guldringen som du
fordom alltid bar?
Nog hade jag en ring en gång
sa Fredrik, det är visst och sant
Den gick jag mig till stampen med
/:och lämnade i pant:/
Fredrik, sa jag, det finns många
som är pankare än du
Men svara mig nu uppriktigt
Vad säger din fru?
Nog hade jag en fru en gång
sa Fredrik, det är sant och visst
Men henne har jag skilts ifrån
/:sen jag såg dig sist:/
Jag kommer just, sade Fredrik
från en plats där sorgen bor
En kvalens sal, en vredens borg
ett advokatkontor
Där skrev jag på ett dokument
och nu är allt förbi
Nu går jag mig mot ingenstans
/:för nu är jag fri:/
Jag har mistat allt jag hade
i livets grottekvarn
Hon har tagit våra möbler
hon har tagit våra barn
Hon har tagit alla bilarna
i mitt åkeri
Hon har tagit allihopa
/:det ger jag tusan i:/
Vart är du på väg, broder Fredrik?
Ingenstans, ingenstans
Jag går här på trottoaren
som i dimma, som i trance
Jag har blivit hitförpassad
för slarv och fylleri
Nu får det bära vart det vill
men nu är jag fri, ja nu är jag fri
Lady Bird Performer(s): Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazelwood
I've been where the eagle flies Rode his wings 'cross autumn skies Kissed the sun, touched the moon But he left me much too soon. His lady bird...He left his lady bird
Lady bird come on down I'm here waiting on the ground Lady bird I'll treat you good Aw, lady bird I wish you would You lady bird...pretty lady bird
Lightning flashed across the sky The night he taught me how to fly The sun came up and then I found Too soon he let his lady down His lady bird...I'm his lady bird
Lady bird come on down I'm here waiting on the ground Lady bird I'll treat you good Aw, lady bird I wish you would You lady bird...pretty lady bird
Winter lives in my heart In the times we're apart Summer sings a song or two When he says "I love you true" My lady bird...yeah, I'm his lady bird
Lady bird come on down I'm here waiting on the ground Lady bird I'll treat you good Aw, lady bird I wish you would You lady bird...Pretty lady bird (I,m your lady bird) You're a lady bird (Yes, I'm a lady bird) You're too much you little bird
Ballade Pour Un Sourire
Composer(s): Gérard Bourgeois - Jean-Max Rivière
Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan
Je t'ai attendu presque toute une année Et maintenant tu es là Si fragile encore que j'ai peur de bouger Quand tu t'endors dans mes bras Nous allons passer beaucoup de temps L'un près de l'autre à essayer De nous comprendre de nous aimer Et bientôt tu verras La première fleur comme elle sera jolie à ton regard étonné Et je sais déjà qu'après l'avoir cueillie tu viendras me la donner Tu connaîtras la pluie et le vent Et les matins ensoleillés les déceptions et l'amitié Et puis un jour viendra Où tu partiras, sans me le demander puisque la vie est ainsi Je ne pourrai pas m'empêcher de pleurer comme tu le fais aujourd'hui Mais il me suffit en attendant de ton sourire Pour effacer tous les nuages de mes pensées Qui ne sont que pour toi
Je t'ai attendu presque toute une année Et maintenant tu es là Je t'ai attendu presque toute une année Et maintenant tu es là...
