La-La Means I Love You
Composer(s): Thomas Bell - William Hart
First release by: The Delfonics - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists



Many guys have come to you
With a line that wasn't true
And you passed them by (passed them by)
Now you're in the center ring
And their lines don't mean a thing
Why don't you let me try (let me try)
Now I don't wear a diamond ring
I don't even have a song to sing
All I know is

La la la la la la la la la means
I love you
Oh, baby please now
La la la la la la la la la means
I love you

If I ever saw a girl
That I needed in this world
You are the one for me (one for me)
Let me hold me in my arms
Girl, and thrill you with my charms
I'm sure you will see (you will see)
The things I am sayin' are true
And the way I explain them to you
Listen to me

La la la la la la la la la means
I love you
Oh... baby
La la la la la la la la la means
I love you

The things I am sayin' are true
And the way I explain them to you, yes to you
Listen to me
La la la la la la la la la means
I love you
Oh, you'll have to understand
La la la la la la la la la means
I love you
Come on and take my hand ...

Baretta's Theme
Composer(s): Dave Grusin - Morgan Ames

Covered by multiple other artists



Don't go to bed, with no price on your head 
No, no, don't do it

Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time
Yeah, don't do it

And keep your eye on the sparrow
When the going gets narrow

Don't do it, don't do it

Where can I go where the cold winds don't blow
Now

Well, well, well

The Lakes Of Pontchartrain
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Planxty
and multiple other artists



T'was on one bright March morning I bid New Orleans adieu 
And I took the rode to Jackson town, me fortune to renew 
I cursed all foreign money, no credit could I gain 
Which filled me heart with longin' for the Lakes of Pontchartain

I stepped on board of a railroad car beneath the morning sun 
And I rode the roads 'til evening and I laid me down again 
All strangers here, no friends to me 'til a dark girl towards me came 
And I fell in love with a Creole girl from the Lakes of Pontchartrain

I said my pretty Creole girl, me money here's no good 
If it weren't for the alligators I'd sleep out in the wood 
You're welcome here kind stranger, our house it's very plain 
But we never turn a stranger out at the Lakes of Pontchartrain 

She took me to her mummy's house and she treated me quite well 
The hair upon her shoulders in jet black ringlets fell 
To try and paint her beauty I'm sure t'would be in vain 
So handsome was my Creole girl from the Lakes of Pontchartrain 

I asked her if she'd marry me, she'd said it could never be 
For she had got another and he was far at sea 
She said that she would wait for him and true she would remain 
'Til he returned for his Creole girl from the Lakes of Pontchartrain 

So fair thee well me bonny o' girl I never see no more 
But I'll ne'er forget your kindness and the cottage by the shore 
And at each social gathering a flowin' glass I'll raise 
And drink a health to me Creole girl from the Lakes of Pontchartrain

Barefootin'

First release by: Robert Parker - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



Everybody get on your feet
You make me nervous when you in your seat
Take off your shoes and pat your feet
We're doin a dance that can't be beat
We're barefootin', We're barefootin' 
We're barefootin', We're barefootin' 

Went to a party the other night
Long Tall Sally was out of sight
Threw way her wig, and her high sneakers too
She was doin a dance without any shoes
She was barefootin', She was barefootin'
She was barefootin', She was barefootin' 

Hey little gal with the red dress on
I bet you can barefoot all night long
Take off your shoes and throw them away
Come back and get them another day
We're barefootin', We're barefootin'
We're barefootin', We're barefootin' 

Lil John Henry he said to Sue 
If I was barefootin' would you barefoot too
Sue told John, "I'm thirty two
I was barefootin ever since I was two
They was barefootin', they was barefootin'
They was barefootin'', we barefootin'
We barefootin' we barefootin'
We barefootin' we barefootin'
We barefootin' we barefootin'
We don't have no shoes on

Lake Charles
Composer(s): Lucinda Williams
Performer(s): Lucinda Williams



He had a reason to get back to Lake Charles
He used to talk about it
He'd just go on & on 
He always said Louisiana
Was where he felt at home

He was born in Nacodoches
That's in east Texas
Down towards the border
He used to tell everybody 
He was from Lake Charles

Hidden angel whisper in your ear
Hold you close
Wipe away your fear
In that long, last moment

We used to drive to Lafayette and Baton Rouge
In a yellow El Camino
Listening to Howlin' Wolf
We used to stop in Lake Charles
Cause that was the place he loved.

Have you gone about as far as you can go
Down the Louisiana highway
Across Lake Poncetrain
Now your soul is in Lake Charles
No matter what they say

Hidden angel whisper in your ear
Hold you close
Wipe away your fear
In that long, last moment

Barefoot Gentleman
Composer(s): Gary Carmel - Jim Yester
Performer(s): The Association



An old day is coming once again
Young woman leaves the beast
Of never ending sadness
The day grows sleepy and it's
Night

He the barefoot boy
In the earth-green waving fields
Leaves for the city, the stars
Awake and come to the crowd for
The Night

And the orange open glow
And sunset of goodbye is singing

Through woman there's a home
In the heart of man right now
Barefoot gentleman there's a
Woman's hand under the moon
'Neath the moon an ever new light

He the barefoot boy
In the black blindfold of death
Led by a woman within his heart
Finds the city of dark's
Promised land

And the orange open glow
And sunset of goodbye is singing

Vous avez connu le bon temps

La même chose à vos parents
Laisser battre notre sang

Et vous aimez twister

Barefoot Ballad
Composer(s): Dolores Fuller - Lee Morris - Homer Morris
Performer(s): Elvis Presley; Raul Seixas



I want a barefoot ballad, yes a barefoot ballad
Won't you play for me a down home country song
'cause when I kick my shoes off and I kick my blues off
With a barefoot ballad you just can't go wrong

Give me a honk-tonk fiddle with a guitar in the middle and a melody
Humming like a fountain swinging out on smokey mountain

I want a barefoot ballad, yes a barefoot ballad
Won't you play for me a down home country song
'cause when I kick my shoes off and I kick my blues off
With a barefoot ballad you just can't go wrong

Now the big toe's connected to the two toe
And the two toe's connected to the three toe
And the three toe's connected to the four toe
And the four toe's connected to the five toe
And the five toe and away we go

I want a barefoot ballad, yes a barefoot ballad
Won't you play for me a down home country song
'cause when I kick my shoes off and I kick my blues off
With a barefoot ballad you just can't go wrong

Now the big toe's connected to the two toe
And the two toe's connected to the three toe
And the three toe's connected to the four toe
And the four toe's connected to the five toe
And the five toe and away we go

I wanna barefoot ballad, yes a barefoot ballad
Won't you play for me a barefoot ballad song

Let me tell you about a place, somewhere up in New York way 
where the people are so gay, twistin' the night away 
Here they have a lot of fun, puttin' trouble on the run 
Oh man you'll find the old and young twistin' the night away 

Here's a man in evening clothes, how he got here I don't know 
but oh man, you ought to see him go, twistin' the night away 
He's dancing with a chick in slacks, she's moving up and back 
Oh man, there ain't nothing like twistin' the night away 

Feel much better 

Here's a fellow in blue jeans, who's dancing with an older queen 
dolled up in her diamond rings, twistin' the night away 
Man you ought to see her go, twistin' to the rock and roll 
Here you'll find the young and the old twistin' the night away 

They're twistin', twistin', everybody's doing great 
They're twistin' man, twistin', they're twistin' the night away 
Twistin', you know they're twistin', twistin' the night away 
They're twistin', twistin', man twistin' the night away 

Here they have a lot of fun, puttin' trouble on the run 
Oh man you'll find young and the old twistin' the night away 
Here's a man in evening clothes, how he got here I don't know 
I don't know but man you ought to see him go 
Twistin' the night away

De manhã, que medo 
Que me achasses feia
Acordei tremendo
Deitada na areia

mas logo os teus olhos
Disseram que não
E o sol penetrou
No meu coração (bis)

Vi o depois, numa rocha 
Uma cruz
E o teu barco negro
Dançava na luz
Vi o teu braço assenando
Entre as velas já soltas
Dizem as velhas na praia...
«Que não voltas...!»
_ São loucas...!?
São loucas...

Eu sei meu amor
Que não chegaste a partir
Pois tudo em meu redor me diz
Que estás sempre comigo 

No vento que lança
A areia nos vidros
Na àgua que canta
No fogo mortiço

No calor do leito
Dos bancos vazios
Dentro do meu peito
Estás sempre comigo

Now that he has gone I remember
The words he used to whisper so tender
The words he tried, forever and ever
Forever and ever, for always together
All the things I tried didn't help me
And still I hear his voice deep inside me
But now I know there is only music that can help me forget the time we had

Let me dance tonight, dance tonight
So that I can dream that he's still by my side, by my side
Let me dance tonight, dance tonight
So that I won't feel so lonely

In the dark I see only shadows
That move and sway like colours of rainbows
But it must be my imagination
Or hallucinations with disco vibrations

So the link that stops all the pain
And in my heart I feel like it's raining
But I don't want them to stop this music
'cause I wanna hear it until the end

Let me dance tonight, dance tonight
So that I can dream that he's still by my side, by my side
Let me dance tonight, dance tonight
So that I won't feel so lonely

Let me dance tonight, dance tonight
So that I can dream that he's still by side, by my side
Let me dance tonight, dance tonight
So that I won't feel so lonely

Si mi va di prenderti come vuoi
Tu meta', di darti ragione
Perche' e' l'eta'
Che ti fa sentire piu' forte e piu' bella
Selvaggia e ribelle
Ma sei tu
Con quel tuo maglione blu
Ma sei tu per quel tuo sorriso in piu'
Sali su e quando ti spoglio
Ti guardo e m'imbroglio
Cosi' mi va
Voglio l'anima, l'anima
Io non posso piu' lasciarti libera, libera. . .
Voglio l'anima, l'anima
Voglio un sentimento vero
Si' mi va un po' di casino della citta'
E prenderti il disco che piu' ti va
E con la mia moto di corsa in soffitta
E poi che si fa?
Ma sei tu, con quelle calzette giu'
Ma sei tu che giochi coi sensi
Tu non hai piu' quel modo di fare
E ti lasci andare sempre di piu'
Voglio l'anima, l'anima
Io non posso piu' lasciarti libera, libera. . .
Voglio l'anima, l'anima
Voglio un sentmento vero
Voglio l'anima, l'anima
Io non posso piu' lasciarti libera, libera. . .
Voglio l'anima, l'anima
Questo sentimento scoppia dentro me, dentro me
Voglio l'anima, l'anima...

Et que tout ira mieux demain
Je voudrais tant que tu deviennes un ange
Mais tu t'en moques et tu me tiens
Notre Amour ne tourne pas rond
Non, non, non, non
J'ai eu tort de t'aimer
Maintenant tout est raté
Je t'ai tout donné en ce monde
Tout ce que tu sais vient de moi
Tu m'as remis une de tes mèches blondes
En disant "Souvenir pour toi"
Notre Amour ne tourne pas rond
Non, non, non, non,
J'ai eu tort de t'aimer
Maintenant tout est raté

Je sens en moi une chose étrange
Je sens le danger qui revient
Il va falloir que tout cela change
Je ne suis pas Barbe Bleue pour rien
Notre Amour ne tourne pas rond
Non, non, non, non,
J'ai eu tort de t'aimer
Maintenant tout est raté
Je n'peux pas supporter
Que Barbe Bleue soit lésé
Barbe Bleue voulait t'aimer

Ich denk' oft an Charly
auf der Straße hab' ich
ihn gefunden, dem Ende nah
oh Charly
Von den andern verlaßen
frierend im Regen
und so hilflos, kleiner Charly

Mit gebrochnen Flügeln
lag er einsam am Boden der Kleine
ich hob' ihn auf
oh, Charly
Nahm ihn in meine Hände
das gab dem Vogel
Hoffnung und Wärme
kleine Charly

Nun ist er glücklich
denn ich habe ihm das Leben
das jeder liebt, zurück gegeben
oh Charly...

Nun ist er glücklich
denn ich habe ihm das Leben
das jeder liebt, zurück gegeben
oh Charly...

Ich trug ihn nach Hause
er erholte sich bald
flog im Zimmer herum
oh Charly
Eines Tages doch flog er
halt in die Freiheit
auf zum Himmel
kleiner Charly

Nun ist er glücklich
denn ich habe ihm das Leben
das jeder liebt, zurück gegeben
oh Charly...

Nun ist er glücklich
