1983 (A Mermaid I Should Turn To Be) Composer(s): Jimi Hendrix Performer(s): Jimi Hendrix
Hurray I awake from yesterday Alive but the war is here to stay So my love catherina and me Decide to take our last walk thru the noise to the sea Not to die but to be reborn Away from the lands so battred and torn Forever forever
Oh say can you see it's really such a mess Every inch of earth is a fighting nest Giant pencil and lipstick-tube shaped things Continue to rain and cause screamin' pain And the arctic stains from silver blue to bloody red As our feet find the sand And the sea is straight ahad Straight up ahead
Well it's too bad that our friends can't be with us today Well it's too bad The machine that we built Would never save us that's what they say That's why they ain't comin' with us today And they also said it's impossible For a man to live and breathe undrerwater Forever was a main complaint Yeah and they also threw this in my face they said Anyway you know good and well It would be beyond the will of god And the grace of the king Grace of the king Yeah
Ooo
So my darling and I make love in the sand To salute the last moment ever on dry land Our machine it has done it's work played it's part well Without a scratch on our body when we bid it farewell Starfish and giant foams greet us with a smile Before our heads go under we take our last look at the killing noise Of the out of style The out of style out of style oh yeah Oooo
So down and down and down and down we go Hurry my darlin' we mustn't be late For the show Neptune champion games to an aqua world is so my dear Right this way smiles a mermaid I can hear atlantis full of cheer Atlantis full of cheer I can hear atlantis full of cheer Oh yeah

A small Café Mam'selle, our rendezvous, Mam'selle The violins were warm and sweet, and so were you Mam'selle And as the night danced by, a kiss became a sigh Your lovely eyes seemed to sparkle just like wine does No heart ever yearned the way that mine does for you And yet I know too well someday you'll say goodbye Then violins will cry, and so will I Mam'selle

Mamma, son tanto felice perché ritorno da te La mia canzone ti dice ch'è il più bel sogno per me! Mamma son tanto felice... Viver lontano perché?
Mamma, solo per te la mia canzone vola mamma, sarai con me, tu non sarai più sola! Quanto ti voglio bene! Queste parole d'amore che ti sospira il mio cuore forse non s'usano più, mamma! ma la canzone mia più bella sei tu! Sei tu la vita e per la vita non ti lascio mai più!
Sento la mano tua stanca cerca i miei riccioli d'or Sento, e la voce ti manca la ninna nanna d'allor Oggi la testa tua bianca io voglio stringere al cuor
Mamma, solo per te la mia canzone vola mamma, sarai con me, tu non sarai più sola! Quanto ti voglio bene! Queste parole d'amore che ti sospira il mio cuore forse non s'usano più, mamma! ma la canzone mia più bella sei tu! Sei tu la vita e per la vita non ti lascio mai più! Mamma... mai più!

Oh Mamy, oh mamy blue Oh Mamy blue Oh Mamy blue Ou es tu, ou es tu mamy blue Oh mamy blue Je suis partie un soir d'été
Sans dire un mot sans t'embrasser Sans un regard sur le passé Dès que j'ai franchi la frontière Le vent soufflait plus fort qu'hier Quand j'étais près de toi ma mère
Oh Mamy, oh mamy blue Oh Mamy blue Oh Mamy blue Ou es tu, ou es tu mamy blue Oh mamy blue
Et aujourd'hui je reviens Ou j'ai refait tout le chemin Qui m'avait entraîne si loin Tu n'es plus la pour me sourire Me réchauffer me recueillir Et je n'ai plus qu'a repartir
Oh Mamy, oh mamy blue Oh Mamy blue Oh Mamy blue Ou es tu, ou es tu mamy blue Oh mamy blue La maison a ferme ses yeux Le chat et les chiens sont très vieux Et ils viennent me dire adieu Je ne reviendrai plus jamais Dans ce village que j'aimais Ou tu reposes désormais

19th Nervous Breakdown Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards Performer(s): The Rolling Stones
You're the kind of person you meet at certain Dismal, dull affairs Center of the crowd, talkin' much too loud Runnin' up and down the stairs
Well it seems to me that you have seen Too much in too few years And though you try you just can't hide Your eyes are edged with tears
{Refrain} You better stop and look around Here it comes, here it comes Here it comes, here it comes Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown
{Repeatable verses} When you were a child you were treated kind But never brought up right And you were always spoiled with a thousand toys But still you cried all night Your mother who neglected you Owes a million dollars tax And your father's still perfecting ways Of making sealing wax
{Refrain}
{Bridge} Oh, who's to blame That girl's just insane Well nothin' I do don't seem to work It only seems to make matters worse Oh, please
Well, you were still in school when you had that fool Who really messed your mind And after that you turned your back On treating people kind
On our first trip I tried so hard To rearrange your mind But after a while I realized You were disarranging mine
{Refrain, Bridge}
{Repeatable verses}
You will stop and look around Here it comes Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown
M'amie Composer(s): Robert Chabrier; Jo Moutet Performer(s): Georges Guétary
Quand tu viens vers moi abandonnée m'amie Je t'ouvre les bras pour t'embrasser m'amie Et nous restons là sans nous parler heureux Amoureux nous dévorant des yeux Tout pourrait sombrer autour de nous m'amie L'univers entier ne compterait plus m'amie Puisque notre amour est plus grand chaque jour J'ai mon paradis quand j'ai tes yeux m'amie
M'amie... m'amie...
Regarde les fleurs elles sont jolies m'amie Elles ont un cur et toi aussi m'amie Mais quand le jour meurt elles vont se cacher Pour pleurer des larmes de rosée Comme elles nous envient car nous avons m'amie Le jour et la nuit pour nous aimer m'amie Puisqu'on est si bien, jusqu'au petit matin Reste dans mes bras on s'aimera On s'aimera m'amie
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!

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!
