    Light Your Lamp
    Composer(s): George Wyle - Edward Pola
    Performer(s): Doris Day



    Light your lamp, and turn up the wick
    I'll be there on the double quick
    Wanna tell you I've been missin'
    Your caressin' and you kissin'
    So I'm comin' home tonight

    Light your lamp so that I can see
    All the love that you saved for me
    Here's a lover in a hurry
    In a tizzy and a flurry
    Till my arms can hold you tight

    How's your heart, did you check its beat
    How's your kiss, is it warm and sweet
    Be prepared honey when we meet
    `cause I'm makin' up for lost time

    Light your lamp, and turn up the wick
    I'll be there pretty jiffy quick
    Oh I know I've been a rover
    But my roamin' days are over
    And I'm comin' home tonight

    Light your lamp, and turn up the wick
    I'll be there on the double quick
    Wanna tell you I've been missin'
    Your caressin' and you kissin'
    So I'm comin' home tonight

    Light your lamp so that I can see
    All the love that you saved for me
    Here's a lover in a hurry
    In a tizzy and a flurry
    Till my arms can hold you tight

    How's your heart, did you check its beat
    How's your kiss, is it warm and sweet
    Be prepared honey when we meet
    `cause I'm makin' up for lost time

    Light your lamp, and turn up the wick
    I'll be there pretty jiffy quick
    Oh I know I've been a rover
    But my roamin' days are over
    And I'm comin' home tonight

    You'd better go light your lamp
    I'm comin' home tonight

    Yeah, if you go down to Athens, G.A.
    And you're driving in your car
    You won't get very far
    You hear people shoutin' out
    What's that?
    Butterbean! Yeah!

    Gramps and grannies
    Kids in their teens
    Junkyard dogs and campus queens
    Yeah, everybody likes butterbeans

    Don't you wait, don't you linger
    Butterbean will slip through your fingers
    Pass me a plate full
    I'll be grateful

    1-2-3-4

    Pick 'em, pull 'em, put on the steam
    That's how we fix butterbeans
    (Pick 'em pod by pod by pod)
    Pick 'em, pull 'em, put on the steam
    That's how we fix butterbeans
    (Yeah, make 'em jump outta the pot)

    Come here, you butterbean, you
    Come on!

    Butterbean, butterbean
    Butterbean, butterbean
    Butterbean, butterbean
    Butterbean, butterbean
    Butterbean grows on the vine

    Some people are fat, some people are lean
    But I want you to show me the person
    Who doesn't like butterbeans

    Yay!

    Well, you can have your yams
    You can have your collard greens
    But if you want to please little ol' me
    You better fix butterbeans

    Don't you wait, don't you linger
    Butterbean will slip through your fingers

    Pick 'em, pull 'em, put on the steam
    That's how we fix butterbeans
    (Pick 'em pod by pod by pod)
    Pick 'em, pull 'em, put on the steam
    That's how we fix butterbeans
    (Pick 'em for me now, pick 'em for me now)

    Performer(s): Van Halen
    and multiple other artists



    Yeah, we're all fast breakers comin' out of the gates
    takin' chances
    We're the crash and burn
    Yeah, there is a way with beauty, but you never gave
    a love cross the line where none return
    I watch my television; almost lost my mind
    It said, "Open your eyes
    Leave it all behind"
    I heard the wind a whisp'rin'
    strong magic comin' on!
    They comin' out for sure
    Come see your children; yeah, they're lighting up the skies
    Won't recognize them any more
    Ooh, mama, see the firelight
    Ooh, we're comin' out tonight
    Wolves at my door wised up quick
    Turn here and gone from on the go
    Seems the old folks who come up short were the pretty
    little kids who didn't want it, no
    I had to pay admission when I came tonight
    And it said, "Open my eyes
    Leave it all behind"
    I heard the wind a whisp'rin'
    strong magic comin' on!
    They comin' out for sure
    Come see your children; yeah, they're lighting up the skies
    Won't recognize them any more
    Ooh, mama, see the firelight
    Ooh, lightin' up the sky
    Light up the sky
    Light up the sky
    Light up the sky
    Light 'em up!

    Butter Beans
    Composer(s): Charles D. Colvin
    Performer(s): Little Jimmy Dickens



    Just a bowl of butter beans
    Pass the cornbread if you please
    I don't want no collard greens
    All I want is a bowl of butter beans

    Just a piece of country ham
    Pass the butter and the jam
    Pass the biscuits if you please
    And some more o' them good ol' butter beans

    Red eye gravy is all right
    Turnip sandwich a delight
    But my children all still scream
    For another bowl of butter beans

    Some folks think that cornpone's best
    Some likes grits more than the rest
    But if I was a man of means
    I'd just want them good ol' butter beans

    See that lady over there
    With the curlers in her hair
    She's not pregnant as she seems
    She's just full o' them good ol' butter beans

    See that big, fat, ugly lad
    He's made everybody mad
    They don't love him, by no means
    He's the hog that ate the last of the butter beans

    When they lay my bones to rest
    Place no roses upon my chest
    Plant no blooming evergreens
    All I want is' a bowl of butter beans

    Just a bowl of butter beans
    Pass the cornbread if you please
    I don't want no collard greens
    All I want is a bowl of butter beans

    Performer(s): Normaal - 1996



    Dom dier, wat mot ik doen
    Ik heb gin manieren en i-j gin fatsoen
    Zeg mien oh, wat mot ik doen

    I-j denkt an um en ik snap heel goed woarum
    Hi-j is in goeie doen en ik heb gin poen

    I-j holt mien tekort, doet alle deuren op slot
    Net woar ik weazen mot, ik vang weer bot

    Ik bun ten einde road
    I-j slept doar 'snachts langs de stroat
    Zeg mien, dom dier

    Woarum bu-j met mien getrouwd
    Woarum die toeren gebouwd
    Zeg mien, dom dier

    Liefde is blind, deur ow word ik niet bemind
    't Strand al veur 't begint, as 't ow niet zint ...

    Performer(s): Patty Pravo; Ivan Cattaneo
    (Originally performed by: Sonny & Cher)



    Ragazzo triste come me ah ah
    che sogni sempre come me ah ah
    non c'e' nessuno che ti aspetta mai perché non sanno come sei
    Ragazzo triste sono uguale a te
    a volte piango e non so perché
    tanti son soli come me e te ma un giorno spero cambierà
    Nessuno può star solo
    non deve stare solo quando si e' giovani così
    Dobbiamo stare insieme, amare tra di noi
    scoprire insieme il mondo che ci ospiterà
    Ragazzo triste come me...

    Hey hey hey vedrai - hey hey hey vedrai
    non dobbiamo star soli mai
    non dobbiamo star soli mai...

    But You're Mine
    Italian Title: Ragazzo Triste
    Composer(s): Sonny Bono
    Originally performed by: Sonny & Cher
    Covered by: Patty Pravo



    When people say you're not my kind
    And that your clothes are out of line
    And that your hair isn't combed all the time
    You're not real pretty but you're mine

    We have a great big old society
    That won't make room for folks like you and me
    But I got some real bad news for them my friend
    They're on the outside looking in

    We've got a great thing going
    And its gonna keep on growing
    And I hope that soon they'll see the light
    But until that time they'll have to blow their mind
    Cos it ain't us that's gonna lose this fight
    So when we're walking I don't care
    When all those people stop and stare
    If they'd look in your eyes they'd see
    You're not real pretty but you belong to me

    Hey hey hey now
    Hey hey hey now
    When you're lovin' me baby
    And when I hold you baby
    [When I kiss you]
    I know you love me baby
    [When I hold you]
    You know I'll never leave you
    [When I touch you]
    I know I'll always love you
    [Every day now]
    You know I love you baby
    You know I love you baby

    Light Motiv
    Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



    Déjate de rebeldías
    que la Historia ha superado
    ¿o nos ves que la anarquía
    se ha instalado en el Mercado?
    Qué te importa si es injusto
    que se muera la poesía
    Lo sublime es darle gusto
    Al gusto de la mayoría
    Qué divina, lo moderna moda moderada
    De lo light
    Al final después de tantas calorías esto es lo que hay
    Desde Texas a Chamberi
    se escuchaba siempre el mismo
    "light-motiv"
    Déjate de hacer discursos
    sobre el Logos y la Nada
    lo más sabio es el concurso
    de la inmensa marujada
    Qué te importa que el futuro
    sea un túnel sin salida
    si hemos derribado el Muro
    con la 'chispa de la vida'
    Qué divina la, moderna moda moderada ...
    Déjate de post-cultura
    que eso apesta a mausoleo
    aunque a veces la pintura
    Sirva para algún blanqueo
    Deja de volverte loco
    con el Fin de la Utopía
    hazte un poco neo-barroco
    y, ¡a vivir que son dos días!
    Qué divina la moderna moda moderada ...

    But You Know I Love You
    Originally performed by: Kenny Rogers & The First Edition



    When the morning sun
    Streaks across my room
    And I've waken up
    From another dream of you
    Yes I'm on the road
    Once again it seems
    All I've left behind
    Is a chain of broken dreams

    But you know I love you
    Yes I love you
    Oh I love you

    How I wish that love
    Was all we’d need to live
    What a life we'd live
    'Cause I've got so much to give
    And it seems so wrong
    Deep inside my heart
    That the dollar sign
    Should be keeping us apart

    But you know I love you
    Yes I love you
    Oh I love you

    And if I could only find my way back to the time
    When the problems of this life of mine didn't cross our minds
    All the answers were found in children's nursery rhymes
    I'd come running back to you
    I'd come running back to you
    And you know we can't
    Live on dreams alone
    Just to pay the rent
    I must leave you all alone
    But you know I made my choice
    Many years ago
    Now this traveling life
    Is the only one I know

    Composer(s): Peter Albin
    Performer(s): Janis Joplin; Big Brother & the Holding Company



    Light is faster than sound
    My head to the ground
    Mind going round
    Faster than sound

    What goes up must go down
    World goes around
    Sun shines around
    Faster than sound

    Suddenly I see your face
    Faster than sound
    Through the emptiness of space
    Faster than sound
    You’re turning my mind all around
    Faster than sound
    ‘Cause life is faster than sound
    Faster than sound
    Faster than sound

    Light is faster than sound
    My head to the ground
    Mind going round
    Faster than sound

    What goes up must go down
    World goes around
    Sun shines around
    Faster than sound

    Whoa, suddenly I see your face
    Faster than sound
    Through the emptiness of space
    Faster than sound
    You’re turning my mind all around
    Faster than sound
    ‘Cause life is faster than sound

    The moon is high

    Was meant for two
    And I am here

    Have you forgotten
    The night that we met?
    With so much to remember
    How could you forget?

    The dreams I dreamed
    Have yet to come true
    My dreams and I are here
    But where are you?

    Light Flight
    Composer(s): Bert Jansch - Danny Thompson - Jacqui McShee - John Renbourn - Terry Cox
    Performer(s): Pentangle; Clare Teal



    Let's get away, you say, find a better place
    Miles and miles away from the city's race
    Look around for someone lying in the sunshine
    Marking time, hear the sighs, close your eyes...

    Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da...

    Stepping from cloud to cloud passing years of light
    Visit the frosty stars in the backward flight
    Star becomes a vision, never mind the meaning
    Hidden there, moving fast, it won't last...

    Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da...

    Time passes all too soon, how it rushes by
    Now a thousand moons are about to die
    No time to reflect on what the time was spent on
    Nothing left, far away, dreamers fade

    Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da...

    Strange visions pass me by, winging sweetly close inside
    O-ver the wa-ter, ah....

    Swirling, the waters rise up above my head
    Gone are the curling mists how they all have fled
    Look, the door is open, step into the space
    Provided there

    Da do da, da, do da...
    Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da ...

    Ah..........
    Ah..........
    He isn't shaken by his ways
    He has 40 new girls every day
    Love comes, love goes, what the difference anyway?
    Today's girl loves him, yesterdays will cry
    Ah..........
    Ah..........
    Daddy's car is always at his hand
    A car that runs on tears and treat you like a man
    Aftershave and suede shoes, might not have the blues
    With cigarettes and car seats, what else would he choose?
    Ah..........
    Ah..........

    Chorus
    He knows the score
    I don't know anything
    But One Day he'll see.....that he's wrong

    Well life's too short
    And you're too sweet
    Every day of your life, child
    You've got to spend with me

    Now let me tell you 'bout Sally
    She's a-really tough
    And girl you know about Emmy
    She's cool enough

    Oh, but life's too short to mess around
    Don't you give me no stuff, child
    And don't you put me down

    A-no no, a-no no, a-no no, a-no
    I, I keep a-tellin' you, I, I keep a-tellin' you
    I, I keep a-tellin' you, aah

    I, I said I told a-you baby
    I said I told-a you all
    I said, bah, oh-hoh-hoh-hoh-hooooh
    And you're too wild
    To pass me by, baby
    With just a kiss and a smile
    We gotta up and get married
    Before my hair turns gray
    I need you for real, baby
    I've had my time to play

    Now c'mon, a-c'mon
    A-c'mon, don't make me so blue
    (C'mon, c'mon)
    A-hey-hey, a-hey-hey
    (C'mon, c'mon)
    A-hey-hey, a-hey-hey ...

    Niks Voor Mij
    English Title: But Not For Me
    Composer(s): George Gershwin; Ira Gershwin;
    Chef van Dijk; Max Tak
    Performer(s): Greetje Kauffeld



    Al wil ik nog zo graag, ik maak geen kans
    Als ik een dansje waag, 'k heb nooit eens sjans
    Ik maak me steeds weer druk, maar ik hoor eigenlijk
    Thuis in zo'n treurig stuk van Heyermans
    Ik lijk wel gek, dat ik het nog probeer
    Maar ik ben niet gek, ik pik het ook niet meer
    Het is voorgoed voorbij, weg met de dromerij liefde is niks voor mij

    Al wil ik nog zo graag, ik maak geen kans
    Als ik een dansje waag, 'k heb nooit eens sjans
    Ik maak me steeds weer druk, maar ik hoor eigenlijk
    Thuis in zo'n treurig stuk van Heyermans
    Ik lijk wel gek, dat ik het nog probeer
    Maar ik ben niet gek, ik pik het ook niet meer
    Het is voorgoed voorbij, weg met de dromerij liefde is niks voor mij
    Liefde is niks voor mij...

    Life's Little Ups And Downs
    Composer(s): Margaret Ann Rich
    First recording/First release by: Charlie Rich - 1969
    Covered by multiple other artists



    I don't know how to tell her I didn't get that raise in pay today
    And I know how much she wanted the dress in Baker's window
    And it breaks my heart to see her have to wait
    And cancel all the plans she made to celebrate
    But I can count on her to take it with a smile and not a frown

    She knows that life has it's little ups and downs
    Like ponies on a merry-go-round
    And no one grabs the brass ring everytime
    But she don't mind
    She wears a gold ring on her finger
    And I'm so glad that it's mine

    The new house plans we've had so long
    I guess will gather dust another year
    And the daffodils are bloomin' that she planted way last fall
    Up on the hill, over by the gate
    Lord knows I hate to say again, we'll have to wait
    But you can bet she'll just take it with a smile and not a frown

    She knows that life has it's little ups and downs
    Like ponies on a merry-go-round
    And no one grabs the brass ring everytime
    But she don't mind
    She wears a gold ring on her finger
    And I'm so glad that it's mine
    She wears a gold ring on her finger
    And I'm so glad that it's mine

    But Not For Me
    Dutch Title: Niks Voor Mij
    Composer(s): Ira Gershwin; George Gershwin
    Originally performed by: Ginger Rogers & Willie Howard
    Covered by various other artists



    They're writing songs of love, but not for me
    A lucky star's above, but not for me
    With love to lead the way
    I found more clouds are gray
    Than any rainy day, could guarantee

    I was a fool to fall, and get that way
    I should have known the price, I'd have to pay
    Although I can't dismiss
    The memory of his kiss
    I guess he's not, for me

    Just to possess you my life’s desire
    Just to caress you my life’s desire

    Bearing your sadness I never tire
    Just to be near to protect and revere you

    Hit the rocks with great agility
    Either because of income or incompatibility
