It Makes A Fellow Proud To Be A Soldier Composer(s): Tom Lehrer Performer(s): Tom Lehrer
The heart of every man in our platoon must swell with pride For the nation's youth, the cream of which is marching at his side For the fascinating rules and regulations that we share And the quaint and curious costumes that we're called upon to wear!
Now Al joined up to do his part, defending you and me He wants to fight and bleed and kill, and die for liberty! With the hell of war he's come to grips Policing up the filter tips It makes a fella proud to be a soldier!
When Pete was only in the seventh grade, he stabbed a cop! He's real RA material, and he was glad to swop His switch blade and his old zip gun For a bayonet and a new M1 It makes a fella proud to be a soldier!
After Johnny got through basic traing, he Was a soldier through and through, and he was done! Its effects were so well rooted That the next day he saluted A good humour man, an usher and a nun!
Now Fran's an interlectual, brings a book to every meal He likes the deep philosophers, like Norman Winston Peel He thinks the army's just the thing Because he finds it broadening It makes a fella proud to be a soldier!
Now Ed flunked out of second grade and never finished school He doesn't know a shelter half from an entrenching tool! But he's going to be a big success He heads his class at OCS It makes a fella proud to be a soldier!
Our old mess sergeant's taste buds had been shot off in the war But his savoury collations add to our esprit de corps! To think of all the marvellous ways They're using plastics nowadays It makes a fella proud to be a soldier!
Our lieutenant is the up and coming type Played with soldiers as a boy you just can bet! It is written in the stars He will get his captains' bars But he hasn't got enough box tops yet!
Our captain has a handicap to cope with, sad to tell He's from Georgia and he doesn't speak the language very well! He used to be, so rumour has The dean of men at Alcatraz It makes a fella proud to be What as a kid I vowed to be what luck to be allowed to be A soldier! At ease!
Brazil Composer(s): Bob Russell; Ary Barroso Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney
Brazil, where hearts were entertaining June We stood beneath an amber moon And softly murmured "Someday soon" We kissed and clung together
Then, tomorrow was another day The morning found me miles away With still a million things to say Now, when twilight dims the sky above Recalling thrills of our love There's one thing I'm certain of Return I will to old Brazil
Then, tomorrow was another day The morning found me miles away With still a million things to say Now, when twilight dims the sky above Recalling thrills of our love There's one thing that I'm certain of Return I will to old Brazil That old Brazil Man, it's old in Brazil Brazil, Brazil
She's My Girl Composer(s): Tom Lehrer Performer(s): Tom Lehrer
Sharks gotta swim and bats gotta fly I gotta love one woman till I die To Ed or Dick or Bob She may be just a slob But to me, well she's my girl!
In Winter the bedroom is one large ice cube And she squeezes the toothpaste from the middle of the tube! Her hairs in the sink Have driven me to drink But she's my girl She's my girl She's my girl and I love her!
The girl that I lament for The girl my money spent for The girl my back is bent for The girl I owe the rent for The girl I gave up Lent for Is the girl that heaven meant for me!
So for breakfast she makes coffee that tastes like shampoo I come for dinner and get peanut butter stew Or if I'm in luck It's broiled hockey puck! But oh well What the hell! She's my girl and I love her!

Nous avons joué notre vie ensemble Et puis un beau jour la chance a tourné On ne finira pas la partie ensemble Et chacun s'en va seul de son côté
Bravo tu as gagné et moi j'ai tout perdu On s'est tellement aimés on ne s'aime plus J'étais sure de moi je vivais tranquille Et ta main dans ma main je croisais les doigts Et tous les tricheurs de la grande ville Ne me faisaient pas peur quand tu étais là
Mais les dés sont jetés pair impair,rouges ou noirs qui est le plus heureux de nous deux ce soir Bravo tu as gagné et moi j'ai tout perdu on s'est tellement aimés on ne s'aime plus...
Est-ce qu'elle est ta complice cette partenaire Que tu as choisi pour me remplacer En amour la loi c'est comme à la guerre Le plus fort des deux reste le dernier Et notre amour si beau finit pourtant si mal On le juge à huis clos dans un tribunal Bravo tu as gagné et moi j'ai tout perdu on s'est tellement aimés on ne s'aime plus...
Nous avons joué notre vie ensemble Et puis un beau jour la chance a tourné On ne finira pas la partie ensemble Et chacun s'en va seul de son côté Bravo tu as gagné Bravo tu as gagné
Il a gagné j'ai tout perdu on s'est aimé on n'aime plus Amour si bon pourtant si mal juge à huit clos...........

Lessons In Love (Pierde El Amor) Composer(s): M. King - W. Badarou - R. Gould Performer(s): Raphael
Dónde está nuestro amor No sé bien cual fue el error Y aunque duela la verdad Nunca tiene vuelta atrás Lifeboat lies lost at sea Ive been trying to reach your shore Waves of doubt keep drowning me All the dreams that we were building We never fulfilled them Could be better, should be better Lessons in love For restless eyes egos burn And the mold is hard to break Now we've waded in too deep But and love is overboard Tú por mí, yo por ti Intentando descubrir Qué lección se nos pasó All the homes that we were building We never lived in Could be better, should be better Lessons in love If we lose the time before us The future will ignore us We should use it, we could use it Lessons in love Lost without love Lessons in love Me duele la verdad Lessons in love Y busco una señal Lessons in love Me dices que te vas Lessons in love Y yo no sé olvidar
Bravo Monsieur Le Monde Dutch Title: Bravo Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë; Michel Fugain Originally performed by: Michel Fugain Covered by: Ann Christy
Bravo, Monsieur le monde Chapeau, Monsieur le monde Même quand les gens diront Que vous ne tournez pas toujours très rond
Bravo, pour vos montagnes C'est beau, c'est formidable Compliment pour vos saisons Qui nous donnent des idées de chansons
Bravo, la mer On n'a jamais trouvé un vert plus bleu Un bleu plus vert Aucune symphonie N'est riche d'autant d'harmonie Qu'un merveilleux tonnerre Qui fait l'amour avec la pluie
Bravo, le vent Qui fait ramper les blés Qui fait trembler les océans Bravo pour le soleil Et la colère du volcan Bravo pour l'arc-en-ciel Qui met de la joie dans le cur d'un enfant
Bravo, Monsieur le monde Chapeau, Monsieur le monde Nous vous demandons pardon Pour tous ceux qui vous abîmerons
Bravo, Monsieur le monde Bravo, pour la colombe Si vous lui laissez la vie Nous vous dirons simplement merci

Mes cheveux blonds sont blonds Depuis bien trop longtemps Et mon frère est parti là-bas en Italie Boulevard des Capucines L'Olympia tombe en ruine L'an 2000 est venu personne ne chante plus Il n'y a plus en radio que des mots et des mots Mais il n'y a que moi que ne m'habitue pas
Bravo Donnez-moi un bravo comme on donne un baiser juste un petit dernier Bravo Donnez-moi un bravo comme au temps des rappels Si quelqu'un se rappelle
Bravo Donnez-moi un bravo côté cur côté cour C'est mon seul mot d'amour Bravo Donnez-moi un bravo que je puisse partir Que je puisse dormir
Je n'ai eu pour histoire que vos yeux dans le noir Et pour tout nid d'amour qu'un rideau de velours Comme des italiens qui parlent avec les mains Vos applaudissements c'était un peu mon sang Des hommes ont essayé eux aussi de m'aimer Mais aucun n'est resté c'est vous qui avez gagné
Bravo Donnez-moi un bravo comme on donne un baiser juste un petit dernier Bravo Donnez-moi un bravo comme au temps des rappels Si quelqu'un se rappelle
Bravo Donnez-moi un bravo côté cur côté cour C'est mon seul mot d'amour Bravo Donnez-moi un bravo que je puisse partir Que je puisse dormir
Mes robes de lumière dorment sous la poussière Mais on fera semblant qu'elles m'aillent comme avant Je vais me maquiller attendez vous verrez que je peux être belle comme au temps de Bruxelles Ne partez pas encore je vais faire un décor Deux ou trois projecteurs j'entends quelqu'un... Qui pleure
Bravo Donnez-moi un bravo Comme on donne un baiser juste un petit dernier Bravo Donnez-moi un bravo Comme au temps des rappels si quelqu'un se rappelle Bravo Donnez-moi un bravo côté cur côté cour C'est mon seul mot d'amour

Bravo French Title: Bravo Monsieur Le Monde
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë; Michel Fugain; P. Els Performer(s): Ann Christy
Bravo Voor deze aarde Een toast Op al die jaren Vol van eindeloos geduld Op de pracht waarmee jij 't leven vult
Bravo Voor deze bomen Die staan en steen intomen Voor de bloem Die fier en fraai Elke dag een nieuw lied doet ontstaan
En voor de zee Die ongestoord en speels de buien op het strand vergeet En voor de wind die plagend in het hoge koren speelt Of uitgelaten met de regen dolle pret beleefd
En voor de zon Die alle kleuren van je regenboog nieuw leven geeft Voor elke ster die fonkelend door je hoge hemel zweeft Bravo voor elk seizoen waar jij een lied voor schreef, een symfonie
Bravo Voor moeder aarde In ruil voor al die jaren Doet de mens je zoveel pijn En vervangt je kleur door zwart en grijs
Bravo Voor moeder aarde Geen dank voor al die jaren Heeft de mens geen tijd voor jou En dan dat elk kind veel van je houdt
Less Of Me Composer(s): Glen Campbell First release by: Glen Campbell - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists
Let me be a little kinder Let me be a little blinder To the faults of those about me Let me praise a little more Let me be when I am weary Just a little bit more cheery Think a little more of others And a little less of me
Let me be a little braver When temptation bids me waver Let me strive a little harder To be all that I should be
Let me be a little meeker With the brother that is weaker Let me think more of my neighbor And a little less of me
Let me be when I am weary Just a little bit more cheery Let me serve a little better Those that I am strivin' for
Let me be a little meeker With the brother that is weaker Think a little more of others And a little less of me

Tracké dans un désert de solitude Par un ange que l'obsession brûle Armé d'amour La passion ton seul recours
Victime de tes fantaisies La moindre résistance est impossible Tes jours sont comptés La passion poursuit ses habitudes Rien ne rattrape le temps perdu Ton âme est ailleurs Tu es l'esclave de ton coeur
Et tu dis All I want to do Is to be with you Et tu dis All I want to do Is to be with you
Perdu dans l'underground Les jours se suivent et se ressemblent Rien n'est plus fort La fin trouve toujours son homme Prisonnier de tes illusions Tu risques le danger à chaque instant Tout part en fumée Sous les flammes de ton baiser
Et tu dis All I want to do Is to be with you Et tu dis All I want to do Is to be with you
Sur les boulevards des rêves brisés Personne ne peut s'échapper Tout sombre dans l'oubli Le jour tourne à la nuit La mise en scène est sans rappel L'amour est la seule raison d'être Jusqu'à la dernière heure Tu seras l'esclave de ton coeur
Et tu dis All I want to do Is to be with you Et tu dis All I want to do Is to be with you Et tu dis All I want to do Is to be with you Et tu dis All I want to do Is to be with you
Brave Sir Robin Composer(s): Eric Idle; Innes; Neil Performer(s): Monty Python
Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot He was not afraid to die, O brave Sir Robin He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away And all his limbs hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin His head smashed in and his heart cut out And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged And his nostrils raped and his bottom burnt off and his penis... He is brave Sir Robin, Brave Sir Robin who... To fight and............... Brave Sir Robin ran away Bravely, ran away...away... When danger reared its ugly head He bravely turned his tail and fled Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about And gallantly he chickened out Bravely talking to his feet He beat a very brave retreat Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin
L'espérance Folle Composer(s): Guy Béart Performer(s): Guy Béart
C'est l'espérance folle Qui nous console De tomber du nid Et qui demain prépare Pour nos guitares D'autres harmonies
S'élève l'espérance Dans le silence Soudain de la nuit Et les matins qui chantent Déjà enchantent Nos soirs d'aujourd'hui
Viens C'est la fête en semaine viens Je t'attends, tu ne sais plus rien Plus rien ne nous sépare viens Viens Si les larmes t'ont fait du bien Ce sourire est déjà le lien Avec les beaux jours qui viennent Reviennent
C'est l'espérance folle Qui carambole Et tombe du temps Je vois dans chaque pierre Cette lumière De nos curs battants
La mort c'est une blague La même vague Nous baigne toujours Et cet oiseau qui passe Porte la trace D'étranges amours
Viens C'est la fête en semaine viens Je t'attends, tu ne sais plus rien Plus rien ne nous sépare viens Viens Si les larmes t'ont fait du bien Ce sourire est déjà le lien Avec les beaux jours qui viennent Reviennent
C'est l'espérance folle Qui danse et vole Au dessus des toits Des maisons et des places La terre est basse Je vole avec toi
Tout est gagné d'avance Je recommence Je grimpe pieds nus Au sommet des montagnes Mâts de cocagne Des cieux inconnus
