Mickey
Composer(s): Neil Moret; Harry Williams
Performer(s): Jackie Gleason



Oh! what a shame they gave you the name of Mickey
Where is the rose that grows in repose like you
Lucky the birds and the bees you'd meet

Lucky the moss and the violet sweet
When they were trod by your bare little feet
There in the morning dew

How can you blame me when I pine
Dearie, to change your name to mine

Mickey, pretty Mickey, with your hair of raven hue
In your smiling so beguiling
There's a bit of Killarney, bit of the Blarney, too
Childhood in the wildwood
Like a mountain flow'r you grew

Pretty Mickey, pretty Mickey
Can you blame anyone for falling in love with you

You had a friend that used to defend and love you
He was a dog, a mutt of a dog, it's true
He used to follow you ev'rywhere
Look in your eyes with a lovable stare

He was a lucky old dog to be there
And he believed it too
This is a promise true from me
"I'll be as faithful to you, as he"

Mickey, pretty Mickey, with your hair of raven hue
In your smiling so beguiling
There's a bit of Killarney, bit of the Blarney, too
Childhood in the wildwood
Like a mountain flow'r you grew

Pretty Mickey, pretty Mickey
Can you blame anyone for falling in love with you

Open Up Your Heart And Let The Sunshine In
Composer(s): Stuart Hamblen
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney;
and various other artists



Mommy told me something a little girl should know
It's all about the Devil and I've learned to hate him so
She says he causes trouble when you let him in the room
He will never ever leave you if your heart is filled with gloom

So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin
Smilers never lose and frowners never win
So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin
Open up your heart and let the sun shine in

When you are unhappy, the Devil wears a grin
But oh, he starts a-running when the light comes pouring in
I know he'll be unhappy 'cause I'll never wear a frown
Maybe if we keep on smiling he'll get tired of hangin' around

So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin
Smilers never lose and frowners never win
So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin
Open up your heart and let the sun shine in

If I forget to say my prayers the Devil jumps with glee
But he feels so awful, awful, when he sees me on my knees
So if you're full of trouble and you never seem to win
Just open up your heart and let the sun shine in

So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin
Smilers never lose and frowners never win
So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin
Open up your heart and let the sun shine in

We was at the club tonight
Ol' Richard went home early
He's got the key to the house 
I'm gonna knock on the door, see if I kin get in

(Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat)

Open the door, Richard!! 
Ya see, Richard sleeps in the back room
It's kinda hard to hear 
Maybe I better knock a little louder

(Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat)

Open the door, Richard!! 
I don't think Richard heard me yet
Knock one more time 
Let's see what's gonna happen

(Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat)

Richard, open the door, please

Open the door, Richard
Open the door and let me in
Open the door, Richard
Richard, why don't you open that door?

Richard, open the door, man-it's co-hold out here'n this air
Now look! 
There's that old woman 'cross the street lookin' out the windah
(Who's that, Widow Sweet?)
That must be her sister, I guess
She wants to make sure this is me 
She's tryin' to find out what's happenin' 
Yes, it's me and I'm late again!
(Did you hear what the lady's sayin'?)
No, what is she sayin'?
(She said you sure look common out here'n the street)
Common? 
Man, I got class I ain't never used yet
I'm gonna knock again
Richard's got to get up

(Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat)

Open the door, Richard!! 
Man, you got a key to the house?
(No, I don't have a key 
I don't have a key)
Somebody's got to get in the house
We can't climb in the transit
(Oh, I know he's in there)
How you know he's in there?
(I can hear him breathin')
Ooooh, let's try it one more time!

(Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat)

Richard, open that door, man
Maybe Richard's gone

(Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat)

Open the door, Richard
Open the door and let me in
Open the door, Richard
Richard, why don't you open that door?

I know he's in there
(How you know he's in there?)
Why, you got on the suit
I know I got on the only suit 
Ain't got but one suit between us 
That's the reason why I don't like to rooooom with nobody

Richard, why don'tcha open the door, man?

Now Is The Time
Composer(s): Grace Slick
Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane



Desire--The feeling so clear
It sings in everything you hear
Desire--The feeling you never lose
It's always something new
And it's waiting for you to follow through

We all have a song, life is the dance
And right or wrong we will all take the chance

Now is the time, the time is right
We've got no reason to wait let's do it tonight
This is the night, tonight is the time
Bring the dream to life and let it shine

Desire--Follows and leads the way
Like night follows day
Desire--It's right before your eyes
No quesitons no surprise
It's been waiting so long for you to decide

We all have a song, life is the dance
And right or wrong we will all take the chance

Now is the time, time is right
We've got no reason to wait let's do it tonight
This is the night, tonight is the time
Bring the dream to life and let it shine

All the fantasies we keep inside
We'd love to live it but we don't know how
Too late for yesterday, too early for tomorrow
That means it's gotta be now

We all have a song, life is the dance
And right or wrong we will all take the chance

Now is the time, time is right
We've got no reason to wait let's do it tonight
This is the night, tonight is the time
Bring the dream to life and let it shine

This is the song, now is the time
Alone the love is gone, together it's yours and mine
This is the night, this is the song
Feel the love again it's where we belong

Michelle, little girl I need you baby more than the air I breathe
My love for you grows stronger babe
My words you must believe
Well I need to see you laugh again and I want to see you smile
Michelle, little girl I love you baby you're my only child

Michelle, little girl the pain for you is hurting me inside
At night I think of you sometimes I lean my head and cry
I need to see you laugh again and I want to see you smile
Michelle, little girl I love you baby you're my only child

Michelle, little girl I need you baby more than the air I breathe
My love for you grows stronger babe
My words you must believe
Well I need to see you laugh again and I want to see you smile
Michelle, little girl I love you baby you're my only child

Open My Eyes
Composer(s): Todd Rundgren
Performer(s): The Nazz;
and various other artists



Underneath your gaze I was found in
The haze I'm wandering around in
I am lost in the dark of my own room
And I can't see a thing but the fire in your eyes
Clear my eyes, make me wise
Or is all I believe in lies
I really don't know when or where to go
And I can't see a thing 'til you open my eyes
I've been told by some you'll forget me
The thought doesn't upset me
I am blind to whatever they're saying
And all I can see is the fire in your eyes
Can't believe that it's on your mind
To leave me behind

English Title: Michelle

Michèle, Michèle
Toi et moi on est si bien ensemble
Oh Michèle
Michèle ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont très bien ensemble
I love you, I love you, I love you
Et toute la journée 
Je ne pense qu'à toi
En attendant l'heure où chaque jour
Tu viens me chercher
Michèle ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont très bien ensemble, très bien ensemble
I need you, I need you, I need you
J'ai tant besoin de toi
Je n'ai que ces mots-là
Pour te faire comprendre
Tout ce que j'ai en moi, oh Michèle
I want you, I want you, I want you
Je ne pense qu'à toi
Pourtant les gens m'ont dit
De me méfier de toi
Car tu n'es pas ce que je crois
Michèle, Michèle
Toi et moi on est si bien ensemble
Oh Michèle
I will say the only words I know
That you understand my Michèle

Open Arms
Composer(s): Steve Perry; Jonathan Cain
Performer(s): Journey;
and various other artists



Lying beside you, here in the dark
Feeling your heartbeat with mine
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere
How could our love be so blind
We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are, by my side

So now I come to you with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am, with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms

Living without you, living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you
Wanting you near
How much I wanted you home

But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay

So now I come to you with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am, with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms

Originally performed by: Gérard Lenorman



Tu avais à peine quinze ans
Tes cheveux portaient des rubans
Tu habitais tout près
Du Grand Palais
Je t'appelais le matin
Et ensemble on prenait le train
Pour aller, au lycée
Michèle, assis près de toi
Moi j'attendais la récré
Pour aller au café
Boire un chocolat
Et puis t'embrasser

Un jour tu as eu dix-sept ans
Tes cheveux volaient dans le vent
Et souvent tu chantais 
Oh! Yesterday!
Les jeudis après-midi
On allait au cinéma gris
Voir les films, de Marilyn
Michèle, un soir en décembre
La neige tombait sur les toits
Nous étions toi et moi
Endormis ensemble
Pour la première fois

Le temps a passé doucement
Et déchu le Prince Charmant
Qui t'offrait des voyages
Dans ses nuages
On m'a dit que tu t'es mariée
En avril au printemps dernier
Que tu vis, à Paris

Michèle, c'est bien loin tout ça
Les rues, les cafés joyeux
Mêmes les trains de banlieue
Se moquent de toi, se moquent de moi
Michèle, c'est bien loin tout ça
Les rues, les cafés joyeux
Mêmes les trains de banlieue
Se moquent de toi, se moquent de moi....
Se moquent de moi!

On a distant shore, miles from land
stands the ebony totem in ebony sand
a dream in a mist of grey
on a far distant shore... 

The pebble that stood alone
and driftwood lies half buried
warm shallow waters sweep shells
so the cockles shine... 

A bare winding carcase, stark
shimmers as flies scoop up meat, an empty way...
dry tears...
crisp flax squeaks tall reeds
make a circle of grey in a summer way, around man
stood on ground 

I'm trying
I'm trying to find you
To find you 

I'm living, I'm giving
To find you
To find you
I'm living
I'm living
I'm trying, I'm giving 

I'm drowning

Ojos Españoles

and multiple other artists



Son como el mar, como el azul del cielo y como el sol
son del color, de un clavel que empieza a despertar
son algo más que las estrellas al anochecer
y ¡Olé¡ y ¡Olé!; los ojos de la española que yo amé

Yo fui feliz, mirando aquellos ojos de mi amor
yo nunca vi, ni en el arco iris su color
son algo más que estrellas al anochecer 
y ¡Olé¡ y ¡Olé!; los ojos de la española que yo amé
ojos que nunca nunca olvidaré

Michelangelo
Composer(s): Emmylou Harris; Rodney Crowell
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris



Last night I dreamed about you
I dreamed that you were older
You were looking like Picasso
With a scar across your shoulder
You were kneeling by the river
You were digging up the bodies
Buried long ago
Michelangelo

Last night I dreamed about you
I dreamed you were a pilgrim
On a highway out alone to find
The mother of your children
Who were still unborn and waiting
In the wings of some desire
Abandoned long ago
Michelangelo

Were you there at Armageddon
Was Paris really burning
Could I have been the one to pull you
From the point of no returning
And did I hear you calling out my name
Or was it forgotten long ago
Michelangelo

Last night I dreamed about you
I dreamed that you were riding
On a blood red painted pony
Up where the heavens were dividing
And the angels turned to ashes
You came tumbling with them to earth
So Far below
Michelangelo

Last night I dreamed about you
I dreamed that you lay dying
In a field of thorn and roses
With a hawk about you crying
For the warrior slain in battle
From an arrow driven deep inside you
Long ago 
Michelangelo

Did you suffer at the end
Would there be no one to remember
Did you banish all the old ghosts
With the terms of surrender
And could you hear me calling out your name
Well I guess that I will never know
Michelangelo

Last night I dreamed about you
I dreamed that you were weeping
And your tears poured down like diamonds
For a love beyond all keeping
And you caught them one by one
In a million silk bandanas that 
I gave you long ago
Michelangelo

Op De Purp'ren Hei
Composer(s): Armand Preud'homme; Eugeen De Ridder
Performer(s): Bob Benny;
and various other artists



In de stille kempen
Op de purperen hei
Staat een eenzaam huisje
Met een berk erbij

En een zomeravond
In gedroom alleen
Kwam ik ongewetend
Langs dit huisje heen

Hoe schoon nog de wereld
De zomerse hei
Dat is hier op aarde de hemel voor mij
Hoe schoon nog de wereld
De zomerse hei
Dat is hier op aarde de hemel voor mij

In het eenzamm huisje
Zat een meisje ach
Lijk hij nergens anders
Ooit een meisje zag

Door het venster keek ze
Mij verlegen toe
Schoof 't gordijntje toe en
Is maar opgestaan

Hoe schoon nog de wereld
De zomerse hei
Dat is hier op aarde de hemel voor mij
Hoe schoon nog de wereld
De zomerse hei
Dat is hier op aarde de hemel voor mij

Maar wat heeft de liefde
Ook hier niet verricht
Want nu schuift 't gordijntje
Nooit nog voor hem dicht

Door het open venster
Dat men vroeger sloot
Lach ik naar ons kindje
Op haar moeder's schoot

Hoe schoon nog de wereld
De zomerse hei
Dat is hier op aarde de hemel voor mij
Hoe schoon nog de wereld
De zomerse hei
Dat is hier op aarde de hemel voor mij
Dat is hier op aarde de hemel voor mij

Har försökt att fånga bilden jag vill ha av dig
Fast filmerna är många har ingen riktigt lyckats mig
Bilderna saknar ju skärpa och stil
Och gör inte rättvisa åt din profil
En tanke når mig långt ifrån
Jag slår mig ner vid min telefon

Michelangelo, kan du svara på
Hur du gjorde dom, alla tavlor som blev historia sen
Michelangelo, men så svara då
Kan du komma hit, och ta med stafflit och måla av min vän

Om man kunde visa hela världen hur du ler
Då skulle Mona-Lisa be om att få plockas ner
Du skulle ta hennes plats som legend
Med fräknar på näsan blir du lika känd
Så mästaren nånstans ifrån
Var snäll och svara i telefon

Chairman
(Spoken):
Ladies and gentlemen, brethren and sinners all! 
I call upon our Goddess of the Virtues to give us
her well known rendition of the old school song
Oom-Pah-Pah!

Nancy
(Spoken):
All right, shut up, you lot! 
A bit of culture now! 
'Ere we go...

(Sung):
There's a little ditty
They're singing in the city
Espeshly when they've been
On the gin
Or the beer
If you've got the patience,
Your own imaginations
Will tell you just exactly what you want to hear...

All
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
That's how it goes,
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
Ev'ryone knows.

Nancy
They all suppose what they want to suppose
When they hear...oom-pah-pah!!

Mister Percy Snodgrass
Would often have the odd glass
But never when he thought anybody could see
Secretly he'd buy it
And drink it on the quiet
And dream he was an Earl
Wiv a girl on each knee!

Customers and Nancy
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
That's how it goes.
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
Ev'ryone knows...

Nancy
What is the cause of his red shiny nose?
Could it be...oom-pah-pah!?

Pretty little Sally
Goes walking down the alley
Displays her pretty ankles to all of the men
They could see her garters
But not for free-and-gratis
An inch or two, and then she knows
When to say when!

All
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
That's how it goes.
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
Ev'ryone knows...

Nancy
Whether it's hidden, or whether it shows 
It's the same...oom-pah-pah!
She was from the country
But now she's up a gum-tree 
She let a feller feed 'er, then lead 'er along
What's the good o' cryin'?
She's made a bed to lie in
She's glad to bring the coin in
And join in this song!

All
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
That's how it goes!
Oom-pah-pah!Oom-pah-pah!
Ev'ryone knows

Nancy
She is no longer the same blushing rose
Ever since ... oom-pah-pah!

(Spoken):
Altogether now!

Nancy
(Sung):
 There's a little ditty
They're singing in the city
Espeshly when they've been
On the gin
Or the beer
If you've got the patience
Your own imaginations
Will tell you just exactly what you want to hear...

Michail, Michail
Dieses Liedchen ist für Dich
Lass Dir bloß nicht übern Tisch ziehn

Michail, Michail
Bleibe klug und bleibe schlau
Bleibe Kind und sei ein Mann
und sei tapfer wie 'ne Frau
Sonst gabs Kanonen statt Butter
jetzt jibt et Freiheit statt Butter
Mein lieber Gorbi, det macht mir Sorgi
Nix is mit Freiheit ohne Futter
Ick will in keen Paradies rin
Die Welt soll bloß nicht so mies sin
Ick will bloß Wahrheit, Brot und Tomaten
Liebe und Sojabraten

Oi oi mama, Hoffnung die ich heg
Mütterchen mein, Rußland macht sich aufn Weg 
Oi oi mama, blas mal in die Glut
Feuerchen, Du wärmst mich und das macht mir 
Mut Michail, Michail

Zieht euch warm an!

Michail, Michail
Überall in Ost und West
hast Du Freunde, doch auch Feinde
und die wünschen Dir die Pest
Michail, Michail
aber ich, ich wünsch' Dir Glück
daß Du weiter Deinen Weg machst
ohne Kugel im Genick
Da streiten sich die Gelehrten
wie rund ist die Ecke
ist die Reform ne Revolution
Bist Du nurn Verräter odern Recke
Mir ist det schnuppe, ick denke
det ick dir damit nich kränke
An Deinen Taten soll man dir messen
Freiheit und Lieder und Wurscht zum Essen

Oi oi mama, was er alles kann
Mach mach dumm, schnell ist man ein Tyrann 
Oi oi papa, Du kannst mehr
Bleibe immer Mensch und sei ein Revolutionär Michail, Michail

Jetzt noch einmal!

Vladimir, sprach ich
Sag, geht das mit dem Gorbi klar
oder spielt er nur moderner
wieder mal den alten Zar
Es gibt so viele Parasiten
uniformierte Banditen
Putschgeneräle und Offiziere
ordenbehängte hohe Tiere
So viele Menschenverwalter
die sehen Glasnost mit kalter
mit kalter Wut und mit heißem Schrecken
in die Arbeit stecken

Oi oi mama, eine neue Zeit
Offen alle Grenzen, oi Gerechtigkeit
Oi oi Kinder, klein ist unsre Welt
Und sie soll ein Garten werden
wo eine grüne Kuppel steht

Ooit Komt De Dag

Ooit komt de dag dat jij het weet
Wie ik wel was en hoe je werkelijk heet
Dan is het feest en kom je weer naar huis
Ooit komt de dag, m'n kind, m'n eigen zoon
Dat jij me kent, m'n te lang verloren droom
M'n leven is zo leeg, zo leeg het huis 

Jij was ons geluk, een gezin met ons drie
Maar de liefde ging stuk
Waardoor kwam dat, of hoe en door wie? 

Zij is weggegaan en nam jou met haar mee
En m'n hele bestaan
Werd een leven van hoop en verdriet
En ik zie je nog
De manier hoe je naar me keek
Die blik op jou bedroefd gelaat
En hoe klein je toen leek 

Ooit komt de dag dat jij het weet
Wie ik wel was en hoe je werkelijk heet
Dan is het feest en kom je weer naar huis
Ooit komt de dag, m'n kind, m'n eigen zoon
Dat jij me kent, m'n te lang verloren droom
M'n leven is zo leeg, zo leeg het huis
En ik zie je nog
De manier hoe je naar me keek
Die blik op jou bedroefd gelaat
Je was te klein
En je wereld viel uit elkaar 

In alle kinderen grote en kleine
Zag ik steeds jouw verhaal
Oneindig triest
In de straten op de pleinen
Zag ik jou verdwijnen
En ik keek je dan na. 

Ooit komt de dag dat jij het weet
Wie ik wel was en hoe je werkelijk heet
Dan is het feest en kom je weer naar huis
Ooit komt de dag, m'n kind, m'n eigen zoon
Dat jij me kent, m'n te lang verloren droom
M'n leven is zo leeg, zo leeg het huis 

Ooit komt de dag dat jij het weet
Wie ik wel was en hoe je werkelijk heet
Dan is het feest en kom je weer naar huis
Ooit komt de dag, m'n kind, m'n eigen zoon
Dat jij me kent, m'n te lang verloren droom
M'n leven is zo leeg, zo leeg het huis 

Ooit komt de dag dat jij het weet
Wie ik wel was en hoe je werkelijk heet
Dan is het feest en kom je weer naar huis
Ooit komt de dag, m'n kind, m'n eigen zoon
Dat jij me kent, m'n te lang verloren droom
M'n leven is zo leeg, zo leeg het huis 

Ooit komt de dag dat jij het weet
Wie ik wel was en hoe je werkelijk heet
Dan is het feest en kom je weer naar huis
