Mama Leone Composer(s): Benedetto Arico; Pierre Delanoë; Claude Lemesle Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri
Mama Leone, Mama Leone, au bar de l'amitié Mama Leone, tu nous pardonnes: on n'a jamais payé Mama Leone, mais on chantait et tu aimais bien ça Les gens des beaux quartiers de Rome Venaient voir le spectacle quelques fois Mama Leone
Mama Leone, comme les cigognes, on arrivait chez toi Mama Leone, mais à l'automne, on était toujours là Mama Leone, qu'on a fait souffrir ton vieux piano Il est mort près du téléphone Un soir où nous avons joué trop faux Mama Leone
Mama Leone, Mama Leone, au bar de l'amitié Quand minuit sonne y a plus personne pour rire et pour chanter Mama Leone, un coffee-shop ou un drugstore je crois T'ont remplacée au cur de Rome On n'a gardé que ce nom là Mama Leone
Oh Quelle Nuit English Title: Oh, Lonesome Me Composer(s): Don Gibson; M. Tézé Performer(s): Sacha Distel
J'ai bu d'un trait deux fines à l'eau et trois whiskys Et puis après, quelques portos avec Johnny Derrière son bar ,j'le voyais tout petit Oh! quelle nuit
Je me souviens d'avoir dansé le cha cha cha Avec une fille qui ressemblait à Dalida Tout en pleurant j'lui ai confié ma vie Oh! quelle nuit
Tout ça est arrivé parce qu'on t'a raconté Qu'on m'avait vu avec une jolie femme T'as voulu te venger et tu n'es pas rentrée Alors je t'ai cherchée voilà le drame
Au petit jour ,je suis rentré cahin-caha Tu m'attendais sur le palier en pyjama Quand tu m'a vu, tu m' as tendu les bras Oh! quelle nuit
Depuis je t'ai prouvé que cette femme n'était Tout simplement qu'une de mes secrétaires et Toi tu m'as avoué que pour me faire marcher Tu dînais ce soir là avec ta mère
Pendant deux jours je me suis mis à l'eau de Vichy Mais en une nuit j'ai découvert et j'ai compris Que tu est mon indispensable amour Oh! pour la vie Oh! pour la vie Oh! pour la vie

Mama Just Wants To Barrelhouse All Night Long Composer(s): Bruce Cockburn Performer(s): Bruce Cockburn; Dawn Tyler Watson
I was up the road on easy street Watching everybody stand around and cheat A man comes up and says, "Move along Down to the corner where you belong" But mama just wants to barrelhouse all night long
I hear the city singing like a siren choir Some fool tried to set this town on fire TV preacher screams "come on along" I feel like Fay Wray face to face with King Kong But mama just wants to barrelhouse all night long
Sometimes I wonder what I am I feel like I'm living in a hologram It doesn't seem to matter what's right or wrong Everybody's grabbing and coming on strong But mama just wants to barrelhouse all night long
Oh! Oh! Antonio Composer(s): Florrie Forde; Jill Daniels
In quaint native dress an Italian maid Was seeping distress as the streets she strayed Searching in every part for her bold sweetheart And his ice-cream cart
Her English was bad It cannot be denied And so to herself In Italian she cried
Oh! Oh! oh Antonio, he's gone away Left me alone-ee-o, all on my own-ee-o I want to meet him with his new sweetheart Then up will go Antonio and his ice-cream cart
So sad grew the plight of this fair young lass She'd faint at the sight of an ice-cream ????? She dreamed nigh every day he'd come back to stay Then he'd fade away.
Her old hurdy-gurdy All day she'd parade And this she would sing, Sweet tunes that it played
Oh! Oh! Antonio, he's gone away left me alone-ee-o, all on my own-ee-o I want to meet him with he's new sweetheart Then up will go Antonio and his ice-cream cart
Oh! Oh! Antonio, he's gone away Left me alone-ee-o All on my own-ee-o I want to meet him with he's new sweetheart Then up will go Antonio and his ice-cream cart
Mama From The Train Composer(s): Irving Gordon Performer(s): Patti Page
Throw mama from the train a kiss, a kiss Wave mama from the train a goodbye Throw mama from the train a kiss a kiss And don't cry, my baby, don't cry
How I miss that sweet lady with her old-country touch Miss her quaint broken English called *Pennsylvania Dutch* I can still see her there at the station that day Calling out to her baby as the train pulled away
Throw mama from the train a kiss, a kiss Dry mama all your tears, won't you try? Throw mama from the train a kiss, a kiss And eat mama up all her pie
Can't believe that she's gone now, it's a lonely old town Yet I know that her heavenly love keeps looking down 'cause whenever I happen to be passing through I could swear she was there with the warmth I once knew
And I Throw mama from the train a kiss, a kiss Wave mama from the train a goodbye Throw mama from the train a kiss, a kiss And she throws one back from up high
Oh! Mr. Punch Composer(s): Harry Hemsley Performer(s): Harry Hemsley
Oh Mr. Punch you will agree Calls for a lot of sympathy He never has a moment's peace And lives in terror of the police His baby being extra strong Keeps him awake the whole night long His wife nags him, so 'tis said From early dawn till he's in bed
Oh Mister Punch, Oh Mister Punch Of trials and troubles you've a bunch, At breakfast, dinner, supper, lunch, You never have much leisure. You're teased, tormented, day and night, You're set upon, both left and right, It makes us laugh with all our might, And gives us heaps of pleasure.
He's full of quips and merry chaff And loves to make the children laugh In spite of this the fact remains He gets a beating for his pains His enemies have then to learn In course of time a worm will turn And soon poor Punch in manner slick Just sets about them with his stick
Oh Mister Punch, Oh Mister Punch Of trials and troubles you've a bunch At breakfast, dinner, supper, lunch You never have much leisure You're teased, tormented, day and night You're set upon, both left and right It makes us laugh with all our might And gives us heaps of pleasure
Mama Didn't Lie Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield; John Waters Performer(s): Jan Bradley; Doris
Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie Here comes that boy and his friends Making eyes at me again Do they all think that I'm a toy To be played with by every boy? Well, they're wrong to think I Will be caught by the wink of an eye My mama didn't lie (Mama didn't lie) She didn't lie
The greatest pastime in this man's world Is playin' tricks on every young girl To have one is how they get their kick But not me because I know their trick And they're wrong to think I Will be caught by the wink of an eye My mama didn't lie (Mama didn't lie) She didn't lie Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie
I remember what my mama told me She said, "Girl stay in your class You got a whole lot of growin' and a'learnin' to do Girl don't cha go so fast
The greatest pastime in this man's world Is playin' tricks on every young girl To have one is how they get their kick But no me because I know their trick And they're wrong to think I Will be caught by the wink of an eye My mama didn't lie (Mama didn't lie) She didn't lie Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie Mama didn't ...

Oh! Mon Amour Composer(s): Michaele; P. de Senneville; O. Toussaint Performer(s): Christophe
Elle a des yeux qui voient la mer A travers la pluie qui descend Elle fait des rêves où elle se perd Entre les grands nuages blancs Elle ne sait plus le jour ni l'heure Elle a des larmes au fond du cur Qui lui font peur
Oh! mon amour écoute-moi Déjà la vie t'attends là-bas Non n'ai pas peur il faut me croire La vie est belle même sans mémoire Tu sais je te raconterai Avec le temps tu comprendras Elle n'entend pas ce que je dis Et sa main dans ma main s'endort Je voudrais être ce pays Où elle s'en va chercher encore Dans le miroir de son passé Ce rêve qui s'était brisé Un soir d'été
Oh! mon amour écoute-moi Un autre monde t'attend là-bas Non n'ai pas peur il faut me croire La vie est belle et notre histoire Peut continuer quand tu voudras Et tout sera comme autrefois
Oh! mon amour ouvre ton cur Tu m'entendras Pardonne le mal que je t'ai fait Je ne te quitterai plus jamais Oui mais demain dans mes cheveux Je vois des soleils dans tes yeux
Oh! mon amour Une autre vie t'attend là-bas Je t'aime tant il faut me croire Le monde est beau et notre histoire Peut continuer quand tu voudras Et tout sera.........

Mama (When My Dollies Have Babies) French, German, & Italian Title: Mama Composer(s): Sonny Bono Performer(s): Cher; Dalida
Mama when my dollies have babies And I am a big lady Mama will a prince come and take me away
When I said these things I believed in kings Then I didn't know love could hurt me so Slowly she replied, tears had filled her eyes Baby not so fast let your young life last
Mama when my dollies have babies And I am a big lady Mama will a prince come and take me away
I sang to her in fun, my teens had just began My age was not the same still we played the game Her eyes were filled with pride and slowly she replied Soon enough you'll be a very pretty bride
Mama when my dollies have babies And I am a big lady Mama will a prince come and take me away
Mama, will the hurt go away deep inside When I sang this song My poor world had gone along All my early dreams has turned to crystal streams My love it was last and more tears have past And left me just one thing a tender voice I sing
Mama when my dollies have babies And I am a big lady Mama will a prince come and take me away
I sometimes go to parties, although they're pretty tame I often say I'll stop away, but go there all the same But when the conj'rer gets there, then everything's O.K I'd call him Mr. Magic Man, if I had my own way
Oh Mr. Magic Man you fill us with surprise You do so many clever things, before our wondering eyes Watches, rings, and bracelets, they vanish out of sight You think they're lost, oh no they're not, they come back quite all right
Sometimes he wants assistance, I'm pleased as pleased can be If when he looks around the room, he casts his eyes on me To help him with his magic, I quite enjoy the fun And though I'm standing by his side, I don't know how it's done
Oh Mr. Magic Man you fill us with surprise You do so many clever things, before our wondering eyes From your hat comes rabbits, and purple turns to blue Oh Magic Man, you're marvellous, what clever things you do
He asked one night for Dad's watch, he gave it him of course He struck it with a hammer, and he struck it with such force The watch just flew to pieces, and one boy shouted "Goal" He gathered up the pieces, and restored the watch quite whole
Oh Mr. Magic Man you fill us with surprise You do so many clever things, before our wondering eyes I'm going to be a conj'rer myself when I am six 'cos my Dad said - on my birthday, he'll buy me a box of tricks
