Let's Take A Walk Around The Block
Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Ira Gerswin - E.Y. Harburg
First performance/First recording by: Dixie Dunbar & Earl Oxford - 1934/Richard Himber & His Orch. - 1934
Covered by multiple other artists



I never traveled further North 
Than old Van Courtland Park
And never further South than the aquarium
I've seen the charm of Jersey City
But first let me remark
I saw it from the empire state solarium

But we've been putting nickels 
In the postal savings bank
And when those nickels pile up 
We can toddle off in swank
And I don't mean an ordinary cook's tour
I mean a cabin de-luxe tour

Someday we'll go places
New lands and new faces
The day we quit punching the clock
The future looks pleasant
But at present
Let's take a walk around the block

You're just the companion
I want at Grand Canyon
for throwing old blades down the rock
The money we have`ll go for travel
Meantime, let's walk around the block

Gangway, we'll begin
When our, ship comes in
I'll sit on your lap
All over the map

To London in May time
To Venice in play time
To Paris in time for a frock
To Boston in bean time
Darling, meantime
Let's take a walk around the block

In Winter at Christmas
We'll visit the isthmus
And see how they lock up a lock
And then in Caracas, on a jackass
We'll take a ride around the block

We'll keep to our promise
To visit St. Thomas
And then at Jamaica we'll dock
The prospect is thrilling
Still I am willing
Just now to walk around the block

Onward, to Cathay
Then to Mandalay
Boom on to Bangkok
Perhaps Vladivostok

We'll send the folks cables
Accumulate labels
Buy souvenirs till we're in hock
But since we are flat in old Manhattan
Let's take a walk around the block

Tiens Bon

Performer(s): Richard Anthony - 1966



Pourquoi ces larmes dans tes yeux
Et que veut dire cet adieu?
Écoute-moi

Si tu veux que notre amour
Soit plus fort de jour en jour
Laisse-moi sécher tes larmes
Tiens bon, tiens bon, tiens bon
Et nous gagnerons

As-tu jamais pensé que sur la Terre
Des millions de gens resteront solitaires?
(Pense à eux)
Ils vivront sans amour
(Pense à eux)
Jusqu'à leur dernier jour

Lorsque la vie t'apporte quelques fleurs
Souviens-toi de ceux qui n'ont rien dans le cœur
(Pense à eux)
Ceux-là préfèrent l'argent
(Pense à eux)
Au moindre sentiment
Tiens bon, tiens bon, baby

Si tu veux que notre amour
Soit plus fort de jour en jour
Laisse-moi sécher tes larmes
Tiens bon, tiens bon, tiens bon
Et nous gagnerons

Il y a des gens qui s'aiment plus que nous
Mais que le destin sépare tout à coup
(Pense à eux)
Leur amour est si fort
(Pense à eux)
Qu'ils choisissent la mort

Qu'avons-nous fait de mieux dans notre vie
Pour qu'à tout jamais la chance les oublie?
(C'est pour eux)
Nous devons chaque jour
(Oui, pour eux)
Mériter cet amour
Tiens bon, tiens bon, baby

Si tu veux que notre amour
Soit plus fort de jour en jour
Laisse-moi sécher tes larmes
Tiens bon, tiens bon, tiens bon
Et nous gagnerons

Brooklyn (Owes The Charmer Under Me)
Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan; Sara Isaksson



A race of angels
Bound with one another
A dish of dollars
Laid out for all to see
A tower room at Eden Rock
His golf at noon for free
Brooklyn owes the charmer
Under me

His lady's aching
To bring a body down
She daily preaches
On where she wants to be
An evening with a movie queen
A face we all have seen
Brooklyn owes the charmer
Under me

A case of aces
Done up loose for dealing
A piece of island cooling in the sea
The whole of time we gain or lose
And power enough to choose
Brooklyn owes the charmer
Under me 

Let’s Stop The Clock
Composer(s): J. Fred Coots - Haven Gillespie
Performer(s): Eve Becke; Artie Shaw; Helen Forrest



Let’s stop the clock
And make believe this night of love
Will never end
This is our chance, don’t pass it by
Let’s stop the clock
And capture every thrill
This night of love may send
This is romance, don’t let it die, darling
My hungry heart keeps telling me
Love while you may
We love but once
And love only lives for a day
Let’s stop the clock
Before this moment fades into the dawn
For with the dawn, you will be gone
Let love live on, let’s stop the clock

Let's Hang On!

Covered by multiple other artists



There ain't no good in our goodbye-in'
True love takes a lot of tryin'
Oh, I'm cryin'

Let's hang on to what we got
Don't let go girl, we got a lot
Got a lot of love between us
Hang on, hang on, hang on
To what we got [doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo]

You say you're gonna go and call it quits
Gonna chuck it all and break our love to bits
(Breakin' up) I wish you never said it
(Breakin' up) No, no, we'll both regret it
That little chip 'o diamond on your hand
Ain't a fortune, baby, but you know it stands
(For your love) A love to try and bind us
(Such a love) We just can't leave behind us
Baby (don't you go) Baby (oh no no)
Baby (think it over and stay)

There isn't anything I wouldn't do
I'd go to any price to get in good with you
(Patch it up) Give me a second turn
(Patch it up) Don't cool off while I'm burnin'
You got me cryin', dyin' at your door
Don't shut me out, open your arms for
(Open up) Your arms I need to hold
(Open up) Your heart, oh girl, I told you
Baby (don't you go) Baby (oh no no)
Baby (think it over and stay)

Bronco Bill's Lament
Composer(s): Don McLean
Performer(s): Don McLean



I coulda been most anything I put my mind to be
But a cowboy's life was the only life for me
It's a strong man's occupation ridin' herd and livin' free
But strong men often fail
Where shrewd men can prevail
I'm an old man now with nothin' left to say
But oh god how I worked my youth away

Well you may not recognise my face, I used to be a star
A cowboy hero known both near and far
I perched upon a silver mount and sang with my guitar
But the studio of course
owned my saddle and my horse
But that six-gun on the wall belongs to me
Oh god I can't live a memory

You know I'd like to put my finger on that trigger once again
And point that gun at all the prideful men
All the voyeurs and the lawyers who can pull a fountain pen
And put you where they choose
With the language that they use
And enslave you till you work your youth away
Oh god how I worked my youth away

Whoopee ty yioh
Whoopee ty yi ay
One man's work is another man's play
Oh god how I worked my youth away

You see I always liked the notion of a cowboy fighting crime
This photograph was taken in my prime
I could beat those desperados but there's no sense fightin' time
But the singin' was a ball
'Cause I'm not musical at all
I moved my lips to someone else's voice

I coulda been most anything I put my mind to be
But a cowboy's life was the only life for me
It's a strong man's occupation ridin' herd and livin' free
But strong men often fail
Where shrewd men can prevail
I'm an old man now with nothin' left to say
But oh god how I worked my youth away 

Let’s Stay Young Forever 
Composer(s): Allan Roberts - Doris Fisher
Performer(s): Jeri Southern; Dave Barbour Trio



Let’s stay young forever
Let’s never grow old
Let every kiss we kiss be sweet and new
Eternally useful throughout the years

Let’s be children together
Turn the tinsel to gold
Let’s always be naïve and make-believe
Tomorrow is never

There’ll always be a song
For those in love to sing
But only for the heart of those who dream of spring
How can our love but be warm
You can turn a winter’s storm to May-time

Let’s stay young forever
No future or past
Just waiting for the day, some day, today
And dreaming that love will always last

Let's Groove
Composer(s): Maurice White - Wayne Vaughn
First release by: Earth, Wind & Fire - 1981



Let this groove, get you to move
it's alright, alright
let this groove, set in your shoes
stand up, alright

Gonna tell you what you can do
with my love, alright
Let you know girl you're looking good
you're out of sight and alright

Move yourself and glide like a 747
loos yourself in the sky among the clouds in the heavens

Let this groove, light up your fuse, alright
Let this groove, set in your shoes

stand up, alright
Let me tell you what you can do
with my love, alright

Gotta let you know girl you're looking good
you're out of sight, you're alright

Tell the DJ to play your favorite tune
then you know it's okay
What you found is happiness, now

Let this groove, get you to move, alright
Let this groove set in your shoes
stand up, alright

You will find peace of mind on the floor
Take a little time, come and see, you and me
make a little sign, I'll be there after a while
if you want my love

We can boogie on down, down, down, down
Let's groove tonight
share the spice of life
baby slice it right
we're gonna groove tonight

Bronco
Performer(s): Paul Sawtell



Bronco, Bronco
Tearin' across the Texas plain
Bronco, Bronco
Bronco Layne

Born down around the old Panhandle
Texas is where he grew to fame
There ain't a horse that he can't handle
That's how he got his name

Bronco, Bronco
Tearin' across the Texas plain
Bronco, Bronco
Bronco Layne

Next to a four square Texas twister
You'd call a cyclone weak and mild
You've never seen a twister, mister
`Til someone gets him riled

Bronco, Bronco
Tearin' across the Texas plain
Bronco, Bronco
Bronco Layne

Show me a gal who's kissed him once
I'll show you a gal who's kissed him twice
Once any gal has kissed him twice
She's dreamin' of shoes and rice

Bronco, Bronco
Tearin' across the Texas plain
Bronco, Bronco

Staying around you is all I see

Broken Wings
Performer(s): The Stargazers



With Broken wings, no bird can fly 
And broken promises mean love must fade and die 
I trusted you, you can't be true 
My heart no longer sings 
It's wings are broken too 

Life was wonderful 
I flew as high as a bird in the sky 
Dreaming of you 
Dreams coming true 
Then in your eyes 
I saw lies in disguise 
You broke me heart in two 

With Broken wings, no bird can fly 
And broken promises mean lLove must fade and die 
With Broken wings, no bird can fly 
My heart no longer sings 
It's wings are broken too

On a eu tort de vouloir nous séparer
On a eu tort aujourd'hui je peux bien l'avouer
Tout comme un enfant perdu
Je vais seul au long des rues
N'ayant que le regret d'avoir tout gâché

Oh je t'en prie
Reviens vite: Tu sais que je t'aime
Reviens vite: Dans la nuit je traîne
Reviens vite: Mon âme est en peine
Reviens vite: oh oh oh oh

Tous tes amis t'ont donné bien sûr raison
Et tes parents t'ont aidée, les gens sont trop bons
Mes parents et mes amis m'ont tous dit bravo aussi
Mais aujourd'hui je sais que c'est insensé

Oh je t'en prie
Reviens vite: Tu sais que je t'aime
Reviens vite: Dans la nuit je traîne
Reviens vite: Mon âme est en peine
Reviens vite: oh oh oh oh

Oh je t'en prie
Reviens vite: Tu sais que je t'aime
Reviens vite: Dans la nuit je traîne
Reviens vite: Mon âme est en peine
Reviens vite: oh oh oh oh

Broken Places
Composer(s): Maggie Roche
Performer(s): The Roches



Did you know me
Long ago
Were we close
Before the sorrow
If you thought of leaving any traces
I'll be sifting through the broken places

Did I know you
Once upon a time
You dreamed of me
And now I'm
Searching for myself in strangers' faces
Stumbling onto further broken places

She turns purple
Am I blue
Can't she fathom
What I do
Trying to get in her better graces
Touching her in all the broken places

I get crazy
Not sure why
Solace beckons
Until I
Go tearing off again on wild chases
Crashing into same old broken places

I am young so
Who's to say
But for now I
Have no way
Of knowing how much healing time erases
Certain of these secret broken places

Can't there be a
Little breather?
Our love is a
Real seether
To sore hearts we plead our hapless cases
Rendezvousing at the broken places

I love you for
All of this
Struggling towards
Happiness
When the chips are down we play our aces
Hiding them in our broken places 

Let's Sit This One Out
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Jimmy Van Heusen
Performer(s): Vic Damone



When I asked you to go dancing, I confess
That I was thinking of dancing, more or less
But right now your eyes are filled with stars and glist'ning
And they're playing a song especially nice for list'ning
What I mean is

Let's sit this one out, please, Baby
In some dark corner of the hall
I just want to hear the band for a while
And hold your hand for a while
And then perhaps, we'll dance again
If you love me

Let's just wander off and maybe
They may not miss us, Dear, at all
It's the best part of romancing
And more fun than just dancing 
You'll agree if you'll sit this one out with me

Sit this one out with me
