Lincoln Park Pirates Composer(s): Steve Goodman Performer(s): Steve Goodman
The streetlamps are on in Chicago tonight And lovers a'gazin' at stars The stores are all closin', and Daley is dozin' And the fat man is counting the cars ... And there's more cars than places to put 'em, he says But I've got room for them all So 'round 'em up boys, 'cause I want some more toys In the lot by the grocery store ...
To me, way, hey, tow them away The Lincoln Park Pirates are we From Wilmette to Gary, there's nothin' so hairy And we always collect our fee! So it's way, hey, tow 'em away We plunder the streets of your town Be it Edsel or Chevy, there's no car too heavy And no one can make us shut down
We break into cars when we gotta With hammer and pickaxe and saw And they said this garage had no license But little care I for the law! Our drivers are friendly and courteous Their good manners you always will get 'Cause they all are recent graduates Of the charm school in Joliet
To me, way, hey, tow them away The Lincoln Park Pirates are we From Wilmette to Gary, there's nothin' so hairy And we always collect our fee! So it's way, hey, tow 'em away We plunder the streets of your town Be it Edsel or Chevy, there's no car too heavy And no one can make us shut down
And when all the cars are collected And all of their fenders are ruined Then I'll tow all the boats in Belmont Harbor To the Lincoln Park Lagoon And when I've collected the ransom And sunk all the ones that won't yield I'll tow all the planes that are blocking the runways At Midway, O'Hare, and Meigs Field!
To me, way, hey, tow them away The Lincoln Park Pirates are we From Wilmette to Gary, there's nothin' so hairy And we always collect our fee! So it's way, hey, tow 'em away Now citizens, gather around And I think it's enough, let's call his bluff Let's throw the bum out of town!

May this be Love or just Confusion Born out of frustration wracked feelings of not being able to make true physical love to the Universal gypsy Queen True, free expressed music Darling guitar please rest Amen
L'incendie À Rio Composer(s): Maurice Tézé - Gérard Gustin Performer(s): Sacha Distel
En pleine nuit une sirène Appelle au feu tous les pompiers Et tout Rio qui se réveille Voit brûler l'usin' de café Il n'y a pas de temps à perdre Sinon tout l'quartier va brûler Oui mais voilà Pendant c'temps là à la caserne On entends les pompiers crier
Qu'est-c'qu'on a fait des tuyaux? Des lances et d'la grande échelle Qu'est-c'qu'on a fait des tuyaux? Pas d'panique il nous les faut
Mais l'incendie là-bas fait rage Et le ciel est noir de fumée Et tous les gens dans les étages Se dis'nt: "Mais que font les pompiers?" Il n'y a pas de temps à perdre Sinon tout l'quartier va brûler Oui mais voilà Pendant c'temps là à la caserne On entends les pompiers crier
Qu'est-c'qu'on a fait des tuyaux? Des lances et d'la grande échelle Qu'est-c'qu'on a fait des tuyaux? Pas d'panique il nous les faut
Au p'tit matin on le devine Tout le quartier avait brûlé Il ne restait que des ruines Sur des centain's de mètr's carrés! Quand tout à coup dans le jour blême On vit accourir un pompier Qui s'écria : "Je viens d'la part du capitaine Vous dir' de n'pas vous énerver"
On a r'trouvé les tuyaux Les lances et la grande échelle Mais on est en panne d'auto Et on cherch' la manivelle
La la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la
MacArthur Park Composer(s): J.L. Webb Performer(s): Richard Harris
Spring was never waiting for us, girl It ran one step ahead As we followed in the dance Between the parted pages and were pressed In love's hot, fevered iron Like a striped pair of pants
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no!
I recall the yellow cotton dress Foaming like a wave On the ground around your knees The birds, like tender babies in your hands And the old men playing checkers by the trees
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no!
There will be another song for me For I will sing it There will be another dream for me Someone will bring it I will drink the wine while it is warm And never let you catch me looking at the sun And after all the loves of my life After all the loves of my life You'll still be the one
I will take my life into my hands and I will use it I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it I will have the things that I desire And my passion flow like rivers through the sky And after all the loves of my life After all the loves of my life I'll be thinking of you And wondering why
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no! Oh, no No, no Oh no!!

Secretos Entre Tú y yo Dejas la puerta abierta, te sorprendo en mi cama Ya voy, ya voy
Se me escapa tu muslo como un pez en la mano Si te muerdo en el labio, me voy, me voy, me voy Me voy
Son tus pechos nodrizas que amamantan mis sueños Tus pezones espías que recorren mi cuerpo Yo no sé si dejarme Y empezar a ser libre Qué importante Qué imposible
[Aah...]
Gacela (gacela) Despierta ya Con un ansia de bosque una sombra se acerca Ya voy, ya voy
Entre besos furtivos yo me adentro en tu noche Y en la raya del alba, me voy, me voy, me voy Me voy
El ombligo de arena, el sendero de fuego Me conducen jugando hasta el monte de "Venus" Yo no sé si quererte Y empezar a ser libre Qué importante Qué imposible
[Aah...]
Son tus pechos nodrizas que amamantan mis sueños Tus pezones espías que recorren mi cuerpo Yo no sé si dejarme Y empezar a ser libre Qué importante Qué imposible
L'important, C'est La Rose ((Danish Version: Bare Gi' Mig En Rose (by Grethe & Jørgen)) Composer(s): Louis Amade - Gilbert Bécaud First release by: Gilbert Bécaud - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
Toi qui marches dans le vent Seul dans la trop grande ville Avec le cafard tranquille du passant Toi qu'elle a laissé tomber Pour courir vers d'autres lunes Pour courir d'autres fortunes L'important...
L'important c'est la rose L'important c'est la rose L'important c'est la rose Crois-moi
Toi qui cherches quelque argent Pour te boucler la semaine Dans la ville tu promènes ton ballant Cascadeur, soleil couchant Tu passes devant les banques Si tu n'es que saltimbanque L'important...
L'important c'est la rose L'important c'est la rose L'important c'est la rose Crois-moi
Toi, petit, que tes parents Ont laissé seul sur la terre Petit oiseau sans lumière, sans printemps Dans ta veste de drap blanc Il fait froid comme en Bohème T'as le cur comme en carême Et pourtant...
L'important c'est la rose L'important c'est la rose L'important c'est la rose Crois-moi
Toi pour qui, donnant-donnant J'ai chanté ces quelques lignes Comme pour te faire un signe en passant Dis à ton tour maintenant Que la vie n'a d'importance Que par une fleur qui danse Sur le temps...
L'important c'est la rose L'important c'est la rose L'important c'est la rose Crois-moi

What Did I Ever See In Him? Composer(s): Charles Strouse; Lee Adams Performer(s): Chita Rivera
Rosie: Eight years, eight years That's how long I've wasted on him! That's all, I'm through Albert dear, to put it sweetly To hell with you! What did I ever see in him? How did I ever get evolved that way? Now that it's over I can smile and say What did I ever see in him? Boy, I was way out on the limb Now that my feet are on the ground again Now that my senses have been found again What did I ever see in him? Is he tender? No, he's not! Is he thoughtful? No, he's not! Am I crazy? What's he's got that I found so damned appealing? What did he ever do for me? Well, to be honest he was sometimes nice But still it wasn't worth that awful price It was rough from the start Broken dates, broken nails, broken heart How did I ever? Why did I ever? What did I ever?
Rosie and Kim: Do we need them? No, we don't! Do we want them? No, we don't! Will we leave them? No, we won't! Tell me what did I say that for? What did we ever see in them? How could we ever think that they were nice? Take it from us we pay an awful price It was rough from the start Broken dates, broken nails, broken heart What did I ever see in him

Albert: I was never crazy for flowers I confess that nothing left me colder I could watch a daisy for hours And all I'd feel was sev'ral hours older! Lilacs and lilies, any bloom you please All what they did was make me shrug or sneeze But now I love each blossom that I see For a lovely little rose loves me Now my life is rosy, when I'm my Rosie With a girl like Rosie How could I be blue? Hand in hand we'll mosey Me and little Rosie We will be so cozy By a fire built for two Oh! I once heard a poem that goes "A rose is a rose is a rose" Well I don't agree Take it from me There's one rose sweeter than any that grows! That's my Rosie, I'm so glad she chose me Life is one sweet beautiful song to me Now my life is rosy (Oh, we'll be happy, I know) Since I found my Rosie (Off to the preacher we'll go) With a girl like Rosie (So how could we be blue?) How could I be blue?
Rosie: Oh we'll have us a home out west A nice little split-level nest And in ev'ry room roses in bloom...
Albert: But there's on rose sweeter than all of the rest! Then that's my Rosie
Rosie: I'm so glad you chose me!
Both: Life is one sweet beautiful song to me When love is right then What can be wrong? Life is one sweet beautiful song To me!
