L'été Indien ((Adapted from: Africa (by Albatros) - 1975)) ((Danish Version: Efterårsløv (by Peter Belli) - 1978)) Composer(s): Toto Cutugno - Pasquale Losito - Vito Pallavicini - Claude Lemesle - Pierre Delanoë Performer(s): Joe Dassin - 1975 and multiple other artists
Tu sais, je n'ai jamais été aussi heureux que ce matin-là Nous marchions sur une plage un peu comme celle-ci C'était l'automne, un automne où il faisait beau Une saison qui n'existe que dans le Nord de l'Amérique Là-bas on l'appelle l'été indien Mais c'était tout simplement le nôtre Avec ta robe longue tu ressemblais A une aquarelle de Marie Laurencin Et je me souviens, je me souviens très bien De ce que je t'ai dit ce matin-là Il y a un an, y a un siècle, y a une éternité
On ira où tu voudras, quand tu voudras Et on s'aimera encore, lorsque l'amour sera mort Toute la vie sera pareille à ce matin Aux couleurs de l'été indien
Aujourd'hui je suis très loin de ce matin d'automne Mais c'est comme si j'y étais. Je pense à toi. Où es-tu? Que fais-tu? Est-ce que j'existe encore pour toi? Je regarde cette vague qui n'atteindra jamais la dune Tu vois, comme elle je reviens en arrière Comme elle je me couche sur le sable Et je me souviens, je me souviens des marées hautes Du soleil et du bonheur qui passaient sur la mer Il y a une éternité, un siècle, il y a un an
On ira où tu voudras, quand tu voudras Et on s'aimera encore lorsque l'amour sera mort Toute la vie sera pareille à ce matin Aux couleurs de l'été indien
Bring Back Those Wonderful Days Composer(s): Darl Mac Boyle; Nat Vincent Performer(s): Bert Williams
You've heard of the lamp of Aladdin what wonderful things it could do if I had it today I'd rub it and say here's all that I want of you Oh won't you
That wonderful lamp of the fable brought jewels and treasures galore if Aladdin lived now I feel that somehow these are the things he'd ask for Oh won't you
Bring back those happy days of childhood won't you bring back the lane down in the wildwood that would lead us to the dear old swimming pool everytime that we played hooky on the way to school oh, bring back the simple girls in gingham won't you bring back the good old songs and sing 'em what a joy 't would be both for you and me could we bring back those wonderful days
Bring back the dinners for a quarter won't you bring back the milk without the water and the great big thick and tender juicy steaks long before our limit was a tack of victr'y cakes oh, bring back the eggs at ten a dozen won't you bring back the bread that wheat once was in you can laugh and joke but we're all dead broke won't you bring back those wonderful days
Bring back the pantomimes of Hanlon won't you bring back the lullabies of Scanlon and the friends who always take you out and treat and the janitors who used to give us lots of heat oh, bring back the days before the "Gimmies" won't you bring back the dance without the "Shimmies" drinking ginger ale makes us weak and pale won't you bring back those wonderful days

Versions In Other Languages: 1975 - L'été Indien (by Joe Dassin) 1978 - Efterårsløv (by Peter Belli)
You know I never realized That a world so incredibly far away As Africa Could be so close to me Look where we are right now On this beautiful little piece of grass Suffocated by a sea of cement Oppressed by all the traffic Look at the people Running, shouting Like they have all gone mad You know I think I just might go back to Africa You can joke But you can never compare This noisy artificial world With the natural Sounds of Africa. A time strange, mysterious Weird almost unreal Looking to the sky And raising your arms You can almost caress it And you feel inside To the will to live Your skin burned And you feel a man More man More sincere You know I think I might just go back to Africa
Bring Back The Sunshine Again Composer(s): Joseph Kendrick Coons
I never knew why a rosebud fades When the world from the sunlight grows dim I never knew that the dew was tears Caused by the memries of what might have been Your smile was the sunshine that gave me life and your kiss was my heaven so blue My tears are falling and my soul is calling for life to me dear means just you
I tell the stars above ev'ry night above Just to guide you and keep you from tears Night breezes in sympathy sigh too When ever your lovely vision appears I've tried hard to teach my heart to forget but my efforts have been all in vain Still I keep saying and I'm always praying that some day we may meet again
Bring back the beautiful sunshine, the sunshine will bring back the flow'rs Song birds will come at your calling and Paradise will be ours Love like a beggar comes pleading and pleading should not be in vain So won't you come back like the birds in the springtime and bring back the sunshine again
Let Yourself Go Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers and multiple other artists
As you listen to the band, don't you get a bubble? As you listen to them play, don't you get a glow? If you step out on the floor, you'll forget your trouble If you start into your dance, you'll forget your woe, so...
Come! Get together Let the dance floor feel your leather Step as lightly as a feather Let yourself go
Come! Hit the timber Loosen up and start to limber Can't you hear that hot marimba? Let yourself go
Let yourself go Relax and let yourself go, relax You've got yourself tied up in a knot The night is cold, but the music's hot, so...
Come! Cuddle closer Don't you dare to answer, "No sir" Butcher, baker, clerk and grocer Let yourself go

Let Your Love Flow ((Dutch Version: Laat Je Hart Slaan (by Mama's Jasje) - 2007)) Composer(s): Larry Williams First release by: Gene Cotton - 1975 Covered by multiple other artists
There's a reason for the sunshine day There's a reason why I'm feelin' so high Must be the season When that love light shines all around us
So let that feeling grab you deep inside And send you reeling where your love can't hide And then go stealing throught the summer nights With your lover
Just let your love flow like a mountain stream And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams And let your love show And you'll know what I mean, it's the season
Let your love fly like a bird on the wing And let your love bind you to all living things And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean That's the reason
There's a reason for the warm sweet nights There's a reason for the candle lights Must be the season when those love rites shine All around us
So let the wonder take you into space And lay you under its loving embrace Feel the thunder as it warms your face You can't hold back
Just let your love flow like a mountain stream And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams And let your love show and you'll know what I mean It's the season
Let your love fly like a bird on the wing And let your love bind you to all living things And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean That's the reason
No lo vieron a Molina Que no pisa más el bar Dónde está la Gran Muñeca Que no trilla el bulevar Esta noche es de recuerdos Este brindis por Pierrot Volverás Mario Benítez Con tu Línea Maginot
Qué será de los porteños Ocupando el Liberaij Qué dirá La Nueva Ola Empapada de champán Esta noche es de recuerdos Este brindis por La Unión Ahí está Martíncorena Escuchando esta canción
Me voy Como se han ido tantos Que el recuerdo disfrazó de santos Y su estampa se ha vuelto ilusión Descubro El dejo de amargura Que ni la mejor partitura Le pudo marcar a mi voz
Se van Como se han ido tantos Carnaval les regaló su manto Y su estampa se ha vuelto canción Se han ido Soplando candilejas Esta noche no tengo ni quejas Sin embargo el que llora soy yo
No se acuerdan de la Bruta Con Pianito en su lugar No me olvido más del Ñato Imitando a Dogomar Esta noche es de recuerdos Este brindis por Pierrot Quedan pocos Sabaleros Aguantando el mostrador
Te estoy viendo a vos Benítez En las páginas del Ring Ni que hablar de un Picho López Recostado en un casín Esta noche es de recuerdos Este brindis por Zelmar No lo vieron a Molina Que no pisa más el bar
Me voy Me voy me vivo yendo Esta noche me hizo vista el tiempo En las copas me dieron changüí Me llevo Como un capricho burdo La esperanza escondida en el zurdo Que el Diablo se apiade de mí
Se van Se van se siguen yendo Cuesta abajo los sacude el viento Como hojas de un sueño otoñal Levanto Mi vaso por las dudas A veces la suerte me ayuda Nadie golpea al zaguán
Oigan al payaso que canta Cuántas penas en su garganta Junto a su copa de licor Solo Esta noche no tengo ni tumba Sin embargo el que canta soy yo
Miren al Pierrot callejero De la noche fiel compañero En su mejilla un lagrimón Brilla Le ha tocado pasarse la vida A solas con su corazón
Recitado: "Te largan a la cancha sin preguntarte si querés entrar Por si fuera poco, de golero; toda una vida tapando agujeros Y si en una de esas salís bueno, se tiran al suelo y te cobran penal"
Oigan al payaso que canta Cuántas penas en su garganta Junto a su copa de licor Solo Esta noche no luce su ropa Sin embargo le llaman Pierrot
Miren al Pierrot callejero...
Recitado final improvisado por el "Canario" Luna: "¿No sentiste, Viruta a los muchachos? Dicen que ando solo, qué saben ellos... Ellos no saben que siempre al lado mío está el niño Calatrava, Raviol, que se nos fue hace poco A solas sí... a solas pero viviendo la vida, gozándola..."
Laat Je Hart Slaan ((Adapted from: Let Your Love Flow (by Gene Cotton) - 1975)) Composer(s): Larry Williams - Peter Van Laet Performer(s): Mama's Jasje - 2007
Er is een reden voor de zon die schijnt Er is een reden waarom we samen zijn Er is een reden voor de warme nacht Ik kan het weten
Er is een reden voor de volle maan Er is een reden waarom de sterren er staan Er is een reden dat onze harten slaan Ik kan het weten
Laat je hart slaan als je bij me bent En laat je hart slaan als jij je liefde bekent Laat je hart slaan als een woeste trein Omdat jij hier bent
Laat je hart slaan leg je ziel maar bloot En laat je hart slaan en dan doe ik dat ook Laat je hart slaan als je bij me blijft Je hele leven
Er is een reden voor de mooie nacht Er is een reden dat jij op mij hebt gewacht Je hele leven En ik kom eraan dat mag je weten
Want het ronde van het mooie weer Komt tot je onder in deze zomerse sfeer Dus laat de donder even achter jou En laat je leiden
Laat je hart slaan als je bij me bent En laat je hart slaan als jij je liefde bekent Laat je hart slaan als een woeste trein Omdat jij hier bent
Laat je hart slaan leg je ziel maar bloot En laat je hart slaan en dan doe ik dat ook Laat je hart slaan als je bij me blijft Je hele leven
Laat je hart slaan als je bij me bent En laat je hart slaan als jij je liefde bekent Laat je hart slaan als een woeste trein Omdat jij hier bent
Laat je hart slaan leg je ziel maar bloot En laat je hart slaan en dan doe ik dat ook Laat je hart slaan als je bij me blijft Je hele leven
Brindo dijo un chakarero soy un chakarero astuto y las cauras de mi tierra me saborean el fruto yo les atino en el gusto a todas en general gustoso voy a brindar por melones y sandias y brindo por las chiquillas cuando van a misandear

Let Us Take You For A Ride Composer(s): Myers - Cass Performer(s): Cliff Richard & The Michael Sammes Singers
Cliff: The bush upon the rotor pump Is pushed into the floater sump It's wearing out the grunion teeth By bearing on the cog beneath Which means in terms of tension swings The seams of your suspension springs In cyclic thirds, are set apart In very simple words, dear ladies Your car won't start
All: So we're making this offer Ride with us, come ride with us Through the countryside with us For our bus has every comfort inside We are pleading Please let us take you for a ride
Cliff: To try to wrench the gyro sphere Without a bench would take all year Don't risk it like this on the road The brisket feed light might explode
Cyril, Steve & Ed: The ball valve's past the hydro trend There's something nasty round the bend The loafer tank is running slow
All: To put it very frankly Ladies, your car won't go So ride with us Come ride with us Better be alive with us Here's an offer That is quite bona fide We are pleading Please let us take you for a ride
Cliff: You know I wouldn't be surprised That gasket hood looks pulverised The shock recoil is now reversed At first youd boil and then youd burst Compression seep will soon distend The leak that leaks in your big end The lousy coke has got a hitch Around the choke adjustment switch Your piston spout is dynamite In cutting out the parking light And, from its shake, your outside brake Is needing a new drum!
All: In fact make no mistake You've really had it chum
Cliff: (with others singing different words at the same time) So ride with us Come ride with us
Youll be satisfied with us Past the forest And the riverside Take a tour with us That's really nation-wide For as guys we're really qualified There's no need to look terrified For when you have tried You will say - wide-eyed! We are just what the doctor specified We are pleading, please let us take you for a Ride with us, ride with us
Brighton Rock Composer(s): Brian May Performer(s): Queen; Fastbacks
Happy little day Jimmy went away Met his little Jenny on a public holiday A happy pair they made so decorously laid 'Neath the gay illuminations all along the promenade It's so good to know there's still a little magic in the air I'll weave my spell
Jenny will you stay tarry with me pray Nothing 'ere need come between us Tell me love what do you say? Oh no I must away to my mum in disarray If my mother should discover how I spent my holiday It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air I'll say farewell
Oh rock of ages do not crumble Love is breathing still Oh lady moon shine down A little people magic if you will
Jenny pines away writes a letter ev'ry day We must ever be together Nothing can my love erase Oh no I'm compromised I must apologize if my lady should discover How I spent my holidays
Let Us Pray Composer(s): Buddy Kaye - Bernie Weisman Performer(s): Elvis Presley

Brighton Rock Composer(s): Elastica; Justine Frischmann Performer(s): Elastica
We were sauced right there on Brighton beach You a goth and I was such a peach I sought to be the best at it PC Plod he still arrested it We're getting over it We're sweating over it That makes you happy I'm happy too You're game in spite of everything and then she'll be some things Your name carved on my Brighton rock My name can be your mental block We're getting over it We're sweating over it That makes you happy I'm happy too

Brighton Hill Composer(s): Jackie DeShannon; Jimmy Holiday; Randy Myers Performer(s): Jackie DeShannon
Brighton Hill, where the sky changes its color Hopes are high, there's no other place I'd rather be Find your dream by a tree out in the meadow Where the flowers are yellow, life is what it seems
Brighton Hill is a feelin' within me Anybody goin' that way? Brighton Hill is a friend & will be Till my dying day Till my dying day I've got a lot of livin' to do I've got a lot of livin' to do
Brighton Hill, with its green fields of clover That's where kindness reigns over everything around & livin' good on a bicycle Sunday You can have such a fun day up on Brighton Hill
Brighton Hill is a feelin' within me Anybody goin' that way? Brighton Hill is a friend & will be Till my dying day Anybody goin' that way? Brighton Hill, a feelin' within me Anybody goin' that way? ...
