Mami Composer(s): Adrian Abonizio Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Mami que lástima no pueda llorar me enseñaron que la tristeza no hay que mostrar Mami que lástima no pueda cantar cantando uno aleja la locura de los otros los que te enseñan sis saber
Mami que lástima la lástima del fin debe haber una medida que soporte el corazón y no tengamos que esperar Mami, te enseñaron con sentencias, cordenadas, ordenadas con florcitas dibujadas en cuadernos Rivadavia Mami, ya no creo en nada
Mami hubo una luna de invierno, la gomina para el pelo las escarchas en el cielo y la noche el misterio de unos cuerpos Mami te trajeron de una isla, te educaron bajo el sol luego el mundo se complica y ya nadie te lo explica por eso es que algunas noches yo te escucho murmurar por eso es que algunas noches yo te escucho que rezás diciendo Mami
Gooch's Song Composer(s): Jerry Herman Performer(s): Jane Connell
Agnes Gooch: With my wings resolutely spread, Missis Burnside And my old inhibitions shed, Missis Burnside I did each little thing you said, Missis Burnside I lived! I lived! I lived! I altered the drape of a drop of my bodice And softened the shape of my brow I followed directions And made some connections But what do I do now? Who'd think this Miss Prim would have opened a window As far as her whim would allow And who would suppose it was so hard to close it Oh, what do I do now? I polished and I powdered and puffed myself If life is a banquet I stuffed myself I had my misgivings, but went on a field trip To find out what living's about My thanks for your training Now I'm not complaining But you left something out! Instead of wand'ring on with my lone remorse I have come back home to complete the course Oh, what do I do now? Missis Burnside I traveled to hell in my new veneer And look what I got as a souvenir But still I'll defend you As guide and instructor Would I recommend you and how Although I was leery, I thrived on your theory That life can be a wow! You said there's nothing wrong with a harmless smooch So I'm gonna call him Burnside Gooch But what do I do now?
Bosom Buddies Composer(s): Jerry Herman Performer(s): Angela Lansbury and various other artists
Vera and Mame: We'll always be bosom buddies Friends, sisters and pals We'll always be bosom buddies If life should reject you There's me to protect you
Vera: If I say that your tongue is vicious
Mame: If I call you uncouth
Vera and Mame: It's simply that who else but a bosom buddy Will sit down and tell you the truth
Vera: Tho' now and again I'm aware that my candid opinion may sting
Mame: Tho' often my frank observation might scald I've been meanin' to tell you for years You should keep your hair natural like mine
Vera: If I kept my hair natural like yours, I'd be bald But darling
Vera and Mame We'll always be dear companions
Vera: My crony
Mame: My mate
Vera and Mame: We'll always be harmonizing
Vera: Orphan Annie and Sandy
Vera and Mame: Like Amos and Andy
Vera: If I say that your sense of style's as far as off as your youth It's simply that who else but a bosom buddy Will tell you the whole stinkin' truth
Mame: Each time that a critic has written, "Your voice is the voice of a frog!" Straight to your side to defend you I rush You know that I'm there ev'ry time that the world makes an unkind remark When they say "Vera Charles is the world's greatest lush!" It hurts me!
Vera: And if I say your fangs are showing Mame, pull in your claws It's simply that who else but a bosom buddy Will notice the obvious flaws!
Mame: I feel it's my duty to tell you it's time to adjust to your age You try to be "Peg O' My Heart", when you're "Lady Macbeth" Exactly how old are you, Vera? The truth!
Vera: Well, how old do you think?
Mame: I'd say somewhere in between forty and the death!
Vera and Mame: But sweetie
Vera: I'll always be Alice Toklas If you'll be Gertrude Stein And tho' I'll admit I've dished you I've gossiped and gloated But I'm so devoted
Mame: And if I say that sex and guts made you into a star It's simply that who else but a bosom buddy Will tell you how rotten you are
Vera and Mame: Just turn your bosom buddy For aid and affection For help and direction For loyalty, love and for sooth! Remember that who else but a bosom buddy Will sit down and level And give you the devil, Will sit down and tell you the truth!
Mame Composer(s): Jerry Herman Originally performed by: Charles Braswell Covered by various other artists
Chorus: You coax the blues right out of the horn, Mame You charm the husk right off of the corn, Mame You've got that banjoes strummin' And plunkin' out a tune to beat the band The whole plantation's hummin' Since you brought Dixie back to Dixie land You make the cotton easy to pick, Mame You give my old mint julep a kick, Mame Who ever thought a Yankee would put A little Dixie mouse to shame You've made us feel alive again You've given us the drive again To make the South revive again, Mame
Beauregard Burnside: You've brought the cake-walk back into style, Mame You make the weepin' willow tree smile, Mame Your skin is Dixie satin There's rebel in your manner and your speech You may be from Manhattan But Georgia never had a sweeter peach
All: You make our black-eyed peas and our grits, Mame Seem like the bill of fare at the Ritz, Mame You came, you saw, you conquered And absolutely nothing is the same You're special fascination'll prove to be inspirational We think you're just sensational, Mame Since you brought Dixie back to Dixie land Since you brought Dixie back to Dixie land You coax the blues right out of the horn, Mame You charm the husk right off of the corn, Mame You've got that banjoes strummin' And plunkin' out a tune to beat the band The whole plantation's hummin' Since you brought Dixie back to Dixie land You make the cotton easy to pick, Mame You give my old mint julep a kick, Mame Who ever thought a Yankee would put A little Dixie mouse to shame You've made us feel alive again You've given us the drive again To make the South revive again, Mame Mame! Mame! Mame! Mame!
Sugar, sugar Baby Ooh, sugar, sugar Baby Mmh, sei doch lieb zu mir Sugar,sugar Baby Ooh, sugar, sugar Baby Mmh, dann bleib' ich bei dir
Ich kenn' Susie und Madelein Kenn' die Mary und die Jane Auch Diana ist bezaubernd und nett Und das eine ist mir klar Ich käm dauernd in Gefahr Oh, wenn ich dich nicht hätt' My sugar Baby
Sugar, sugar Baby...
Du hast Charm und du hast Chic Und dein Lächeln und dein Blick Raubten schon am ersten Tag mir die Ruh' Wenn ich dich bekommen kann Schau ich keine andre an Oh, denn so bist nur du My sugar Baby
Open A New Window Composer(s): Jerry Herman Originally performed by: Angela Lansbury Covered by various other artists
Mame: Open a new window Open a new door Travel a new highway That's never been tried before Before you find you're a dull fellow Punching the same clock Walking the same tight rope As everyone on the block The fellow you ought to be is three dimensional Soaking up life down to your toes Whenever they say you're slightly unconventional Just put your thumb up to your nose And show 'em how to dance to a new rhythm Whistle a new song Toast with a new vintage The fizz doesn't fizz too long There's only one way to make the bubbles stay Simply travel a new high way Dance to a new rhythm Open a new window ev'ry day! If you follow your Auntie Mame I'll make this vow, my little love That on the last day of your life You'll be smiling the same young smile You're smiling now, my little love If you wake up ev'ry mornin' And you pull aside the shutter And you promise me that these'll be The first words that you utter Open a new window Open a new door Travel a new highway That's never been tried before Before you find you're a dull fellow Punching the same clock Walking the same tight rope As everyone on the block The fellow you ought to be is three dimensional Soaking up life down to your toes
Mame and Agnes: Whenever they say you're slightly unconventional
Patrick: Just put your thumb up to your nose
Mame and All: And show 'em how to dance to a new rhythm Whistle a new song Toast with a new vintage The fizz doesn't fizz too long There's only one way to make the bubbles stay Simply travel a new high way Dance to a new rhythm Open a new window ev'ry day!

Mambo Rock Composer(s): Jimmy Ayre; M. Phillips; Bix Reichner Performer(s): Bill Haley and various other artists
Hey mambo, mambo rock Hey mambo, mambo rock Hey mambo, mambo rock Everybody's doing it, mambo rock There's an island in the Caribbean Sea Where the natives dance and rock with plea The mambo dance in a different way They do the crazy mambo rock all day Hey mambo, mambo rock Hey mambo, mambo rock Hey mambo, mambo rock Everybody's doing it, mambo rock
Where the waves roll up on the golden sand Grab your chick right by the hand You can clap and stamp your feet To that crazy rocking mambo beat Oh, hey mambo, mambo rock Hey mambo, mambo rock Hey mambo, mambo rock Everybody's doing it, mambo rock
Through the red hot day and the cool-cool night When the mambo moon is shining bright They love to dance around the clock To that crazy rocking mambo beat Hey mambo, mambo rock Hey mambo, mambo rock Hey mambo, mambo rock Everybody's doing it, mambo rock
Hey mambo, mambo rock Hey mambo, mambo rock Hey mambo, mambo rock Everybody's doing it, mambo rock
Mambo Miam Miam Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
J'ai dans l'oesophage Un antropophage Qui avait dans l'idée De m'empoisonner Il m'disait p'tite tête Ôte-toi d'là qu'j'm'y mette Je me suis résigné À l'bouffer l'premier
Sauvage ou pirate On s'tire dans les pattes Et le moins malin Peut crever de faim Soldat ou artiste On est tous des tristes Sires et malheur à Qui manque d'estomac
Dans ma garçonnière Misère de misère La femme du voisin S'fait couler un bain Quand la mienne s'déhanche J'ai le cur qui flanche D'voir les autres tudieu La bouffer des yeux
Viendra le jour certes Où la gueule ouverte Comme ça d'but en noir J'irai me faire voir J'ferai des orphelines Et par la racine J'boufferai les orties Et les pissenlits
Mambo miam miam Mambo miam miam Mambo miam miam Mambo miam miam
100 Nights Composer(s): Steve Hogarth Performer(s): Marillion
A hundred nights of fun and games A thousand empty glasses I feel it change And stay the same As each day passes They invite me to their gathering In the finer parts of town They seem attracted to my indifference The irony just knocks me out And I love them as if I love them And they reciprocate with help But I look up at these mirrors sometimes And I can't see myself They say that some are born to burn And some are born to give They say that some people live and learn Some people only live and live You don't know that I come here If you did you would know why So we close our eyes You didn't notice me As i passed you on the stairs How could you ever guess Lookin' at my face How closely I share your taste How well I know your place Even the clothes you wear I've seen them when you're not there You say that you can win win win If you know how to play the game But while you're out there playing you see There's something you should know She spends your money She spends your money on me
Mambo Italiano Composer(s): Bob Merrill Originally performed by: Rosemary Clooney Covered by various other artists

100 Years Ago Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards Performer(s): The Rolling Stones
Went out walkin' through the wood the other day and the world was a carpet laid before me The buds were bursting and the air smelled sweet and strange and it seemed about a hundred years ago
Mary and I, we would sit upon a gate just gazin' at some dragon in the sky What tender days, we had no secrets hid away well, it seemed about a hundred years ago
Now all my friends are wearing worried smiles living out a dream of what they was Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?
Wend out walkin' through the wood the other day can't you see the furrows in my forehead? What tender days, we had no secrets hid away now it seems about a hundred years ago
Now if you see me drinkin' bad red wine don't worry 'bout this man that you love Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?
You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn you You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn you You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, oh Lord, I warn you and please excuse me while I hide away Call me lazy bones ain't got no time to waste away lazy bones ain't got no time to waste away Don't you think it's just about time to hide away? Yeah, yeah!
No palco, na praça, no circo, num banco de jardim Correndo no escuro, pixado no muro Você vai saber de mim Mambembe, cigano Debaixo da ponte, cantando Por baixo da terra, cantando Na boca do povo, cantando
Mendigo, malandro, moleque, mulambo, bem ou mal Escravo fugido ou louco varrido Vou fazer meu festival Mambembe, cigano Debaixo da ponte, cantando Por baixo da terra, cantando Na boca do povo, cantando
Poeta, palhaço, pirata, corisco, errante judeu Dormindo na estrada, não é nada, não é nada E esse mundo é todo meu Mambembe, cigano Debaixo da ponte, cantando Por baixo da terra, cantando Na boca do povo, cantando
I broke into the bank on Sunday You should see the money I got I couldn't drag it home 'til Monday 'Cause it sure weighed an awful lot
Then I sat down to count it And much to my surprise A whole lotta little brown, little round coins Rolled out before my eyes
Chorus: I've got a hundred thousand dollars worth of pennies Not a solitary dollar or a dime And I don't believe there's many Rich men with a problem like mine
And I don't think this is any Kind of ending to a perfect crime I've got a hundred thousand dollars worth of pennies And I'm spendin' it a penny at a time!
Now a steak sure would taste delicious And I've forgot how a beer would feel But the man just might get suspicious If I gave him eight hundred pennies for a meal
So I guess I'll just weigh myself again And buy me another stick of gum I've got a hundred thousand dollars worth of pennies, Lord! And I'm livin' like a penniless bum!
Chorus: I've got a hundred thousand dollars worth of pennies Not a solitary dollar or a dime And I don't believe there's many Rich men with a problem like mine

100,000 Tons Of Steel Performer(s): The Grateful Dead
I know these rails we're on like I know my lady's smile We see a dozen dreams in every passing mile Can't begin to count the trips she and I have made But I wish I had a dollar for each time we've both been down this grade
And 100,000 tons of steel, made to roll The brakes don't work and this grade's too steep, her engine's sure to blow And 100,000 tons of steel, out of control She's more a rollercoaster than the train I used to know
It's one hell of an understatement, to say she can't be beat She's tempermental, more a bitch than a machine She wasn't built to travel at speed or through mud slides These wheels are bound to jump the tracks before they burn like the ties
And 100,000 tons of steel, made to roll The brakes don't work and this grade's too steep, her engine's sure to blow And 100,000 tons of steel, out of control She's more a rollercoaster than the train I used to know
Murphy sure out done himself to pick this stretch of track I can only hope my luck is ridin' in the back Well I have pray to God this ain't the day we meet I've done about everything, but try dragging my feet
And 100,000 tons of steel, made to roll The brakes don't work and this grade's too steep, her engine's sure to blow And 100,000 tons of steel, out of control She's more a rollercoaster than the train I used to know
Mama's Little Alabama Coon (aka Stay In Your Own Back Yard) Composer(s): Lyn Udall; Karl Kennett Performer(s): Dick Hyman; Arthur Pryor
Ah's mama's li'l Alabama coon And ah ain't been born very long Ah's remember one big round moon Ah's member singin one sweet song When they took me down to the cotton field There I tumbled and I rolled in the sun Daddy picking cotton; mama watch me grow This was the old song she sung
Lilac trees are bloomin in the garden by the gate Mammy's at her little cabin door Curly headed picanniny comin home so late Cryin cuz his little heart is sore
All the children play around With skins so white and fair None of them with him would ever play So mammy in her lap, took that weeping little chap And crooned him in her kind old way
Why don't you play in your own backyard Never mind what the white chile do Nobody ever would want to play With a little black coon like you
Go out and play as long as you please But Honey dont you cry so hard Go out and jump on the high board fence But stay in your own backyard
Go to sleep my little picanny Brer fox catch you if ya don't Slumber on the bosom of your ol' mama Jinny Mama goin to swap yo if you don't Ah-loo-ah-loo-ah-looah-loo-ah-loo Underneath the sunny southern moon Lullabye, Rockabye Mama's li'l baby Mama's li'l Alabama Coon
100,000 Years Composer(s): Gene Simmons Performer(s): Kiss
I'm sorry to have taken so long It must have been a bitch while I was gone You mind if I sit down for a while You'll reacquaint yourself with my style Well, how could you have waited so long It must have been a bitch while I was gone All this time you put up a fear For a hundred thousand years
I'm sorry to have taken so long It must have been a bitch while I was gone All this time you put up a fear For a hundred thousand years
And baby won't you let me I think I'm goin' out of my head I'm just about to, ooh yeah, ha
I'm sorry to have taken so long It must have been a bitch while I was gone You mind if I sit down for a while, would you babe You'll reacquaint yourself with my style
Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys Composer(s): Ed Bruce; Patsy Bruce Performer(s): Willie Nelson and various other artists
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys Don't let them pick guitars and drive in old trucks Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys They'll never stay home and they're always alone Even with someone they love
Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold And they'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold Lone Star belt buckles and old faded Levis And each night begins a new day And if you don't understand him and he don't die young He'll probably just ride away
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys Don't let them pick guitars and drive in old trucks Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys They'll never stay home and they're always alone Even with someone they love
A cowboy loves smokey old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night Them that don't know him won't like him and them that do Sometimes won't know how to take him He's not wrong he's just different and his pride won't let him Do things to make you think he's right
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys Don't let them pick guitars and drive in old trucks Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys They'll never stay home and they're always alone Even with someone they love
