Let's Take An Old Fashioned Walk Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Eddie Albert & Allyn McLerie and multiple other artists
Some couples go for a buggy ride when they start caring a lot Others will bicycle side by side out to some romantic spot But when you haven't a sou, there's only one thing to do....
Let's take an old fashioned walk, I'm just bursting with talk What a tale could be told if we went for an old fashioned walk Let's take a stroll through the park, down a lane where it's dark And a heart that's controlled may relax on an old fashioned walk
I know for a couple who seem to be miles apart There's nothing like walking and having a heart-to-heart I know a girl who declined, couldn't make up her mind She was wrapped up and sold, coming home from an old fashioned walk
I used to dream of a millionaire, handsome and rich from the States Taking me out for a breath of air, saying, "The carriage awaits" But since you haven't a sou and I have nothing to do....
Let's take an old fashioned walk, I'm just bursting with talk What a tale could be told if we went for an old fashioned walk Let's take a stroll through the park, down a lane where it's dark And a heart that's controlled may relax on an old fashioned walk
I know for a couple who seem to be miles apart There's nothing like walking and having a heart-to-heart I know a girl who declined, couldn't make up her mind She was wrapped up and sold, coming home from an old fashioned walk
Let's Have A Georgia Honeymoon Composer(s): Carter Benson - Bobby Lee
When I hear those wedding chimes It makes me think of happy times Let me take you, glad they'll make you Way down in Savannah town Honey pack your trunk and things Let's go price some diamond rings Just received the word today Listen what the home folk says
Dear, the roses are a bloom I can smell their sweet perfume Birds are singing, bells are ringing Here's the message that they bring Love me honey, love me long Life with you is like a song Let me rest up on your breast down in Dixie Loving nest
Come down, why don't you Come down Why don't you Come on down to old Savannah Be there, oh honey see there old Aunt Mandy in her red bandanna When the preacher joins you hand in hand They're going to serenade you with a big brass band Come down, why don't you come down Let's have a Georgia Honeymoon
Brooklyn Roads Composer(s): Neil Diamond Performer(s): Neil Diamond; Jane Olivor
If I close my eyes I can almost hear my mother Callin', "Neil, go find your brother Daddy's home, and it's time for supper Hurry on"
And I see two boys Racin' up two flights of staircase Squirmin' into Papa's embrace And his whiskers warm on their face Where's it gone Oh, where's it gone
Two floors above the butcher First door on the right Life filled to the brim As I stood by my window And I looked out of those Brooklyn roads
I can still recall The smells of cookin' in the hallways Rubbers drying in the doorways And report cards I was always Afraid to show
Mama'd come to school And as I'd sit there softly crying Teacher'd say, "He's just not trying He's got a good head if he'd apply it" But you know yourself It's always somewhere else
I built me a castle With dragons and kings And I'd ride off with them As I stood by my window And looked out on those Brooklyn roads
Thought of going back But all I'd see are stranger's faces And all the scars that love erases But as my mind walks through thoses places I'm wonderin' What's come of them
Does some other young boy Come home to my room Does he dream what I did As he stands by my window And looks out on those Brooklyn roads
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 ((Adapted from: Let's Hang On! (by The Four Seasons) - 1965)) Composer(s): Bob Crewe - Sandy Linzer - Denny Randell - Jacques Chaumelle 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 cur (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
Lets Stop The Clock Composer(s): J. Fred Coots - Haven Gillespie Performer(s): Eve Becke; Artie Shaw; Helen Forrest
Lets stop the clock And make believe this night of love Will never end This is our chance, dont pass it by Lets stop the clock And capture every thrill This night of love may send This is romance, dont 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 Lets stop the clock Before this moment fades into the dawn For with the dawn, you will be gone Let love live on, lets stop the clock

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
Lets Stay Young Forever Composer(s): Allan Roberts - Doris Fisher Performer(s): Jeri Southern; Dave Barbour Trio
Lets stay young forever Lets never grow old Let every kiss we kiss be sweet and new Eternally useful throughout the years
Lets be children together Turn the tinsel to gold Lets always be naïve and make-believe Tomorrow is never
Therell 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 winters storm to May-time
Lets stay young forever No future or past Just waiting for the day, some day, today And dreaming that love will always last

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
