Oh Là Là Composer(s): Joe Dassin; Pierre Delanöe; Claude Lemesle Performer(s): Joe Dassin
Je ne dors qu'à peine, j'ai des palpitations Encore une semaine et c'est la quarantaine Elle a tout pour elle, elle est bien trop belle Elle donnerait des ailes à un centenaire fidèle Je suis au bord du délire, pauvre de moi Je n'ai plus qu'une chose à dire, et c'est "Oh! là! là!"
C'est: Oh! là! là! Oh! là! là! Oh! là! là! que je l'aime
J'ai fais des piqûres, de l'acupuncture Un régime sans elle et quelques mois de cure Mais j'ai un problème, c'est toujours le même Je l'ai dans la peau et elle m'a dans la sienne Et même si ça n'est pas le martyr, ça le sera Je n'ai plus qu'une chose à dire et c'est "Oh! là! là!"
C'est: Oh! là! là! Oh! là! là! Oh! là! là! que je l'aime
Ça y est, j'agonise, son amour m'épuise Je ne tiendrai pas jusqu'au temps des cerises Mes amis, mes frères, voyez le notaire J'ai laissé chez lui mes volontés testamentaires Et quand il va vous les lire, ne riez pas Je n'avais qu'une chose à dire, c'était "Oh! là! là!"
C'était: Oh! là! là! Oh! là! là! Oh! là! là! que je l'aime
Mama French & Italian Titles: Maman; Mamma Composer(s): Harold Barlow; Cesare Andrea Bixio; Phil Brito / Bruno Cherubini Performer(s): Connie Francis and various other artists
When the evening shadows fall And a lovely day is through Then with longing, I recall The years I spent with you
Mamma Solo per te la mia canzone vola Mamma Sarai con me, tu non sarai piu so-ola! Quanto ti voglio be-ene Queste parole d'amore Che ti sospira il mio cuore Forse non s'usano piu Oh Ma-amma Ma la conzone mia piu bella sei, tu! Sei, tu, la vi-ita E per la vita non ti lascio mai piu!
Safe in the glow of your-our love Sent from the hea-eavens abo-ove Nothing can ever repla-a-ace The warmth of your tender embra-ace
Oh Ma-ama Until the day that we're together once more I live in these memories Until the day that we're together-er once more
Oh! How I Wish I Could Sleep Until My Daddy Comes Home
Oh! How I Wish I Could Sleep Until My Daddy Comes Home Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis; Joe Young; Pete Wendling Performer(s): Al Jolson
"Early to bed, Early to rise" I heard a mother say to her angel eyes "Dream of your Dad, My little lad Don't wake until the sun appears; in the skies" "I hate the sunshine," he said "It makes me get out of bed"
Two little eyes, Dotted with tears They tell a story full of darkness and fears Two shoulders bear Sorrow and care A weight too great for just a baby in years "Mamma," the laddie explains Sunshine brings nothing but pains"
Oh! how I wish I could sleep, until my Daddy comes home Oh! mamma why must we always be all alone? I miss him more every day How can you ask me to play You're always sighing and crying, since he went away Last night I heard Daddy call But I was dreaming thats all He kissed me, and he said, "Go to bed, my own" Oh! mamma, that's when I thought God made the night time too short Oh! how I wish I could sleep Until my Daddy comes home"
Oh England My Lionheart Composer(s): Kate Bush Performer(s): Kate Bush
Oh! England, my Lionheart I'm in your garden, fading fast in your arms The soldiers soften, the war is over The air raid shelters are blooming clover Flapping umbrellas fill the lanes My London Bridge in rain again Oh! England, my Lionheart! Peter Pan steals the kids in Kensington Park You read me Shakespeare on the rolling Thames That old river poet that never, ever ends Our thumping hearts hold the ravens in And keep the tower from tumbling Oh! England, my Lionheart Oh! England, my Lionheart Oh! England, my Lionheart I don't want to go Oh! England, my Lionheart! Dropped from my black Spitfire to my funeral barge Give me one kiss in apple-blossom Give me one wish, and I'd be wassailing In the orchard, my English rose Or with my shepherd, who'll bring me home Oh! England, my Lionheart Oh! England, my Lionheart Oh! England, my Lionheart I don't want to go Oh! England, my Lionheart Oh! England, my Lionheart Oh! England, my Lionheart I don't want to go

Så opp och hoppa det är sol idag Och en sån dag kan man inte ligga och dra Nej lämna idet och häng med mej ut För sommarn´ kommer nu är vintern slut
Oh boy! Hör på fågelsången, dom sjunger så man blir yr Oh boy! Här på trädgårdsgången, går vägen till ett äventyr Tänk nu på att man kan bli så glad av allt ljust, blommor och av gröna blad Och va med dej å kommer hem igen, från glömda drömmar och till sommaren Oh boy!
Oh boy! Vilka glada toner, det rycker å spritter i mej Oh boy! Tusen millioner kramar vill jag ge dej Ja tänk dej att det kan va så lätt ibland, så enkelt som å sträcka ut en hand Å torka gruset av en barnakind, å känna värmen från en sommarvind
Oh boy! Sicken skänk från ovan det är å leva ida´ Oh boy! Rena gudagåvan, är det konstigt att man är gla´ För solen skiner och du är här, å jorden spinner i sin himlasfär Å faktiskt när man mår på detta vis, är världen nära på ett paradis
Oh boy! Vilket vakert väder, solen skiner idag Oh boy! Inga tunga kläder behövs och det gillar jag Oh boy! Hör på fågelsången, dom sjunger så man blir yr Oh boy! Här på trädgårdsgången, går vägen till ett äventyr
Oh You Pretty Things Composer(s): David Bowie Performer(s): Peter Noone; and various other artists
Oh you pretty things Don't you know you're driving your Mama's and Papa's insane Oh you pretty things Don't you know you're driving your Mama's and Papa's insane Let me make it plain You gotta make way for the Homo Superior
Wake up you sleepy heads Put on some clothes shake up your beds Put another log on the fire for me I need some breakfast and coffee
I look out my window and what do I see A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me All the strangers came today And it looks as though they're here to stay
What are we coming to There's no room for me no fun for you I think about a world to come Where the books were found by the golden one
Written in pain, written in awe By the puzzled man who questioned what we were here for All the strangers came today And it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh you pretty things Don't you know you're driving your Mama's and Papa's insane Oh you pretty things Don't you know you're driving your Mama's and Papa's insane Let me make it plain You gotta make way for the Homo Superior
Look at your children Their faces in golden rays Don't kid yourself they belong to you They're the start of the coming race
The earth is a beast we've finished our news Homo sapiens have outgrown their use All the strangers came today And it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh you pretty things Don't you know you're driving your Mama's and Papa's insane Oh you pretty things Don't you know you're driving your Mama's and Papa's insane Let me make it plain You gotta make way for the Homo Superior
Oh you pretty things Don't you know you're driving your Mama's and Papa's insane Oh you pretty things Don't you know you're driving your Mama's and Papa's insane Let me make it plain You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

Oh What A Beautiful Dream Composer(s): By Dunham; Joe Hooven; Marilyn Hooven Performer(s): Doris Day
Stardust started falling You should have seen the moon The moon was like a red balloon There were clouds of pink ice cream What a beautiful dream
We landed on a building a thousand stories high We sat and watched the world roll by Baby stars were all a gleam What a beautiful dream
The world seemed empty of people The air so pure and clean It was the most fantastic place I've ever seen I know I heard a choir and distant church bells chime
The bells were ringing all the time Wedding cake and pink ice cream What a beautiful dream
I know I heard a choir and distant church bells chime The bells were ringing all the time Wedding cake and pink ice cream What a beautiful dream
Oh what a beautiful dream Have some pink ice cream
Oh Well Composer(s): Peter Green Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac; and various other artists
I can't help it, 'bout the shape I'm in I can't sing, I ain't pretty, and my legs are thin But don't ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to
Now when I talked to God, I knew he'd understand He said "Stick by me and I'll be your guiding hand But don't ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to"
Oh Very Young Composer(s): Cat Stevens Performer(s): Cat Stevens; Susan Egan; David West
Oh very young What will you leave us this time Youre only dancing on this earth for a short while And though your dreams may toss and turn you now They will vanish away like your daddys best jeans Denim Blue fading up to the sky And though you want him to last forever You know he never will (You know he never will) And the patches make the goodbye harder still
Oh very young What will you leave us this time There'll never be a better chance to change your mind And if you want this world to see a better day Will you carry the words of love with you Will you ride the great white bird into heaven And though you want to last forever You know you never will (You know you never will) And the goodbye makes the journey harder still
Oh very young What will you leave us this time Youre only dancing on this earth for a short while Oh very young What will you leave us this time
