Lullaby To A Little Jitterbug Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Saul Chaplin Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters
Do-do-do, do-do-do-do Little jitterbug dont cry Youll be swingin by and by You are just a tiny tot And until youve grown a lot Your rattle will have to do
Little jitterbug go slow Youll be rockin fore you know Daddy wont be home til dawn When he left, he took his horn Someday you will have one too
If youre like your Pa, Sonny, youll go far My youll look grand Leadin a band Foolish it may be But this dreams on me And its for you Make it come true
Little jitterbug its dawn Why dream a dream of Daddys horn If youre good and go to sleep He will give you one to keep Little jitterbug go sleep
Sonny, go to sleep Swing will always keep When youre of age Youll top the page Listen to your Ma Cos she taught your Pa His swing is true Yours will be too
Little jitterbug its dawn, ah-ha-ha Dream a dream of Daddys horn If youre good and go to sleep He will give you one to keep Little jitterbug, go sleep Little jitterbug, go sleep
For many a year, from the land I hold dear I've wandered unhappy, alone and now at the end, I haven't a friend and never a place to call home but often I see, in dreams dear to me that long ago land that I knew the Queen of the earth, the land of my birth Montana, Montana, it's you
I try to recall and to picture it all the wonders I knew as a child the sweep of the plain, the gold of the grain the ridges brush tangled and wild and oft times I try to understand why I bartered the old for the new a prodigal son, my wandering done Montana, I'm coming to you
Oh I long, how I long for Montana and the sweet scent of pine in the air where the lark every evening sings melodies rare to the sage brush and sweet prickly pear Oh I long, how I long for Montana when the sinking sun sets all aglow in the heart of the Rockies, the land of my dreams it is there that my heart longs to go
Lullaby Of The Leaves Composer(s): Bernice Petkere - Joe Young Performer(s): Ina Hayward and multiple other artists
Rustling of the leaves used to be my lullaby In the sunny South when I was a tot so high And now that I have grown And myself alone
Cradle me where Southern skies Can watch me with a million eyes Sing me to sleep Lullaby of the leaves
Cover me with heaven's blue And let me dream a dream or two Sing me to sleep Lullaby of the leaves
I'm breezing along, along with the breeze I'm hearing a song, a song thru the trees Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh That fine melody caressing the shore Familiar to me, I've heard it before Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, that's Southland
Don't I feel it in my soul And don't I know I've reached my goal Sing me to sleep Lullaby of the Leaves
Montagne Verdi Composer(s): Gianni Bella; A. Bella; Giampiero Bigazzi Performer(s): Marcella Bella
Mi ricordo montagne verdi e le corse di una bambina con l'amico mio più sincero un coniglio dal muso nero Poi un giorno mi prese il treno l'erba il prato e quello che era mio scomparivano piano piano e piangendo parlai con Dio Quante volte ho cercato il sole quante volte ho mangiato sale la città aveva mille sguardi io sognavo montagne verdi Il mio destino è di stare accanto a te con te vicino più paura non avrò e un po' bambina tornerò Mi ricordo montagne verdi quella sera negli occhi tuoi quando hai detto s'è fatto tardi t'accompagno se tu lo vuoi Quella nebbia le tue parole la tua storia è la mia storia poi nel buio senza parlare ho dormito con te sul cuore Io ti amo mio grande amore io ti amo mio primo amore quante volte ho cercato il sole quante volte ho cercato il sole la la la... Il mio destino è di stare accanto a te con te vicino più paura non avrò e un po' più donna io sarò Montagne verdi nei tuoi occhi rivedrò
Lullaby Of Love ((French & German Versions: Parle-Moi (Nana Mouskouri); Guten Abend, Gut' Nacht (Nana Mouskouri)) Composer(s): Johannes Brahms - L. Butler - B. Sherrill Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri
Hear the breeze, in the trees Hear the birds, softly singing And the song that they sing Is our lullabye of love
Hear the breeze' sweet refrain Every raindrop is singing And the song that they sing Is a lullabye of love
Forever, and 'ever Our love will be true Forever, and 'ever I'll always love you
Every beat of my heart Says "I love you, I love you, I love you" And the song in my heart Is a lullabye of love
Forever, and 'ever Our love will be true Forever, and 'ever I'll always love you
Forever, and 'ever Our love will be true Forever, and 'ever I'll always love you
Monster Mash Composer(s): Leonard Capizzi; Bobby "Boris" Pickett Originally performed by: Bobby "Boris" Pickett
I was working in the lab late one night When my eyes beheld an eerie sight For my monster, from his slab began to rise And suddenly, to my surprise he did the mash He did the monster mash the monster mash it was a graveyard smash he did the mash it caught on in a flash he did the mash He did the monster mash
From my laboratory in the castle east To the master bedroom where the vampires feast The ghouls all came from their humble abode To get a jolt from my electrode
They did the mash They did the monster mash the monster mash It was a graveyard smash they did the mash It caught on in a flash they did the mash They did the monster mash
The zombies were having fun the party had just begun The guests included Wolfman Dracula and his son
The scene was rocking, all were digging the sound Igor on chains backed by his baying hounds The Coffin Baggers were about to arrive With their vocal group, The Cryptkicker Five
They played the mash They played the monster mash the monster the mash It was a graveyard smash they played the mash It caught on in a flash they played the mash They played the monster mash
Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring Seems he was troubled by just one thing Opened the lid and shook his fist, and said "Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?"
It's now the mash It's now the monster mash the monster mash And it's a graveyard smash it's now the mash It caught on in a flash it's now the mash It's now the monster mash
Now everything's cool Drac's a part of the band And my monster mash is the hit of the land For you, the living this mash was meant, too When you get to my door tell them Boris sent you
Then you can mash Then you can monster mash the monster mash And do my graveyard smash then you can mash You'll catch on in a flash then you can mash Then you can monster mash
Grrrr... mash.... Easy Igor, you impetuous vampire
Lullaby Of Broadway Composer(s): Harry Warren - Al Dubin First performance/First recording by: Wini Shaw - 1935/Hal Kemp & His Orch. - 1935 Covered by multiple other artists
Come on along and listen to, the lullaby of Broadway The hip hooray and ballyhoo, the lullaby of Broadway The rumble of a subway train, the rattle of the taxis The daffydils who entertain, at Angelo's and Maxi's When a Broadway baby says good night, it's early in the morning Manhattan babies don't sleep tight until the dawn
Good night, baby Good night, milkman's on his way Sleep tight, baby Sleep tight, let's call it a day Hey!
Come on along and listen to, the lullaby of Broadway The hi-dee-hi and boop-a-doo, the lullaby of Broadway The band begins to go to town, and everyone goes crazy You rock-a-bye your baby round, 'til everything gets hazy Hush-a-bye I'll buy you this and that, you hear a daddy saying And baby goes home to her flat, to sleep all day
Good night, baby Good night, milkman's on his way Sleep tight, baby Sleep tight Let's call it a day Listen to the lullaby of old Broadway
Monster Composer(s): John Kay; Jerry Edmonton Performer(s): Steppenwolf
Once the religious, the hunted and weary Chasing the promise of freedom and hope Came to this country to build a new vision Far from the reaches of Kingdom and pope
Like good Christians some would burn the witches Later some got slaves to gather riches
But still from near and far to seek America They came by thousands, to court the wild But she just patiently smiled and bore a child To be their spirit and guiding light
And once the ties with the crown had been broken Westward in saddle and wagon it went And till the railroad linked ocean to ocean Many the lives which had come to an end
While we bullied, stole and bought a homeland We began the slaughter of the red man
But still from near and far to seek America They came by thousands to court the wild But she just patiently smiled and bore a child To be their spirit and guiding light
The Blue and Grey they stomped it They kicked it just like a dog And when the war was over They stuffed it just like a hog
And though the past has its share of injustice Kind was the spirit in many a way But its protectors and friends have been sleeping Now it's a monster and will not obey
The spirit was freedom and justice And its keepers seemed generous and kind Its leaders were supposed to serve the country But now they won't pay it no mind 'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy Now their vote is a meaningless joke They babble about law and order But it's all just an echo of what they've been told
Yeah, there's a monster on the loose It's got our heads into the noose And it just sits there watching
The cities have turned into jungles And corruption is strangling the land The police force is watching the people And the people just can't understand We don't know how to mind our own business 'Cause the whole world's got to be just like us Now we are fighting a war over there No matter who's the winner we can't pay the cost
'Cause there's a monster on the loose It's got our heads into the noose And it just sits there watching
America, where are you now Don't you care about your sons and daughters Don't you know we need you now We can't fight alone against the monster
America, where are you now Don't you care about your sons and daughters Don't you know we need you now We can't fight alone against the monster
Marvin ((Adapted from: Patches (Chairmen of the Board) - 1970)) ((French Version: Cash (Eddy Mitchell) - 1971)) Composer(s): Ronald Dunbar - General Johnson - Nando Reis Performer(s): Titãs - 1984
Meu pai não tinha educação Ainda me lembro, era um grande coração Ganhava a vida com muito suor Mas mesmo assim não podia ser pior
Pouco dinheiro pra poder pagar Todas as contas e despesas do lar Mas Deus quis vê-lo no chão Com as mãos levantadas pro céu Implorando perdão
Chorei, meu pai disse: "Boa sorte" Com a mão no meu ombro Em seu leito de morte E disse "Marvin, agora é só você E não vai adiantar Chorar vai me fazer sofrer"
Três dias depois de morrer Meu pai, eu queria saber Mas não botava nem um pé na escola Mamãe lembrava disso a toda hora
Todo dia antes do sol sair Eu trabalhava sem me distrair As vezes acho que não vai dar pé Eu queria fugir, mas onde eu estiver Eu sei muito bem o que ele quis dizer Meu pai, eu me lembro, não me deixa esquecer Ele disse "Marvin, a vida é pra valer Eu fiz o meu melhor E o seu destino eu sei de cor"
E então um dia uma forte chuva veio E acabou com o trabalho de um ano inteiro E aos treze anos de idade eu sentia todo o peso do mundo em minhas costas Eu queria jogar mas perdi a aposta
Trabalhava feito um burro nos campos Só via carne se roubasse um frango Meu pai cuidava de toda a família Sem perceber segui a mesma trilha Toda noite minha mãe orava "Deus, era em nome da fome que eu roubava"
Dez anos passaram, cresceram meus irmãos E os anjos levaram minha mãe pelas mãos Chorei, meu pai disse: "Boa sorte" Com a mão no meu ombro Em seu leito de morte
"Marvin, agora é só você E não vai adiantar Chorar vai me fazer sofrer Marvin, a vida é pra valer Eu fiz o meu melhor E o seu destino eu sei de cor"

Nous Sommes Tous Morts À Vingt Ans ((Spanish Version: Todos Moimos A Los Veinte (Dalida)) Composer(s): Serge Balasko - Daniel Faure Performer(s): Dalida
Nous sommes tous morts à vingt ans En effeuillant la fleur de l'âge Pendu à l'arbre du printemps Dans le plus beau des paysages La terre tourne pour les enfants Ceux qui grandissent tant pis pour eux Il vont grossir le régiment Des fonctionnaires de l'ennuyeux
Avec des jours qui se ressembles Des habitudes et des grimaces Et des migraines des mains qui tremblent De ride en ride de glace en glace
Nous sommes tous morts à vingt ans En effeuillant la fleur malade D'un idéale agonisant Au printemps d'une barricade Moi qui déteste tant la guerre Il m'arrive parfois d'envier L'enfant mort pour un coin de terre Sans avoir le temps de crier
Sans voir la tristesse sourire Sans écouter l'oiseau mentir Vingt ans c'est pour apprendre à vivre Le reste pour apprendre à mourir
Nous sommes tous morts à vingt ans En effeuillant la fleur du rêve Dans une gare ou sur un banc Ou le premier amour s'achève
Pourquoi prolonger sa jeunesse Pourquoi jouer à être encore L'amour est mort et la tendresse C'est suicidé de corps en corps
Nous sommes tous des revenants D'un certain sexe d'un certain âge Avec des mots pour sentiments Avec des masques pour visages
Nous sommes tous morts à vingt ans En effeuillant la fleur de l'âge Pendu à l'arbre du printemps Dans le plus beau des paysages
La la la la la la la la La la li la la la la la la La la li la la la la la...

Lullaby of Birdland, that's what I Always hear, when you sigh Never in my wordland could there be words to reveal In a phrase, how I feel
Have you ever heard two turtle doves Bill and coo when they love? That's the kind of magic music we get from our lips When we kiss
And there's a weepy old willow He really knows how to cry That's how I'd cry in my pillow If you should tell me farewell and goodbye
Lullaby of birdland whisper low Kiss me sweet, then we'll go Flying high in birdland, high in the sky up above All because we're in love
Have you ever heard two turtle doves Bill and coo when they love? That's the kind of magic music we get from our lips When we kiss
And there's a weepy old willow He really knows how to cry That's how I'd cry in my pillow If you should tell me farewell and goodbye
Lullaby of birdland, whisper low Kiss me sweet, then we'll go Flying high in birdland, high in the sky up above And it's all because we're in love

Légende Du Pays Aux Oiseaux "Lola" ((Adapted from: Lullaby Of Birdland (The George Shearing Quintet) - 1952)) Composer(s): George Shearing - George David Weiss - Jean Constantin Performer(s): Les Blue Stars - 1955
Lola Ou la légende du pays aux oiseaux
Quand elle s'ennuie dans sa mansarde Lola vient écouter Le murmure des fontaines qui bavardent À travers les prés et les rosées
Elles lui racontent la légende Du pays aux oiseaux Et pour mieux l'entendre Lola se penche à l'ombre des roseaux
C'est l'histoire fabuleuse Où des oiseaux par milliers D'une île miraculeuse S'envolent éparpillés Dispersés
Et promènent au vent dans le sillage De leurs ailes voyageuses Des millions de plumes dans un nuage De caresses ... de caresses amoureuses
Au pied d'un rocher Lola se couche Eblouie près de l'eau Pour entendre encore dans le chant des sources Le murmure des ruisseaux
[Qui parcourent des plaines et des landes De palais en châteaux Pour lui répéter tout bas la légende Du pays aux oiseaux]
Et sur sa robe éclatante Dans ce jardin enchanté Lola s'endort frissonnante À la fraîcheur d'une allée Parfumée
Et grisée de l'odeur des fougères Elle rêve à celui Qui transformera pour elle les volières En baisers
Monsieur Saint-Pierre Composer(s): Henri Contet; Johnny Hess Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Y a pas à dire, j'aime bien la vie Et un peu trop les beaux garçons Moi, j'ai un cur qui s'multiplie Et ça m'fait de drôl's d'additions Et j'arrive pas à avoir honte J'suis tranquill'ment un fill' de rien Mais quand faudra rendre des comptes Je m'demand' si tout s'pass'ra bien Et ça m'fait peur, car on m'a dit Qu'on m'prendrait pas au paradis
Ô mon bon monsieur Saint-Pierre Moi, j'vous cause à ma manière Vous pouvez m'passer un savon Et me traiter de tous les noms Vous pouvez m'fair' perdre mon sac Celui qu'j'ai volé rue du Bac Mais retenez ma place au paradis On m'a tell'ment dit que c'était joli Regardez-moi bien Je suis si pauvre Regardez mes mains Des mains de pauvre Et regardez tous mes péchés Et mon vieux cur las de tricher Y a des tas d'noms écrits dessus C'est pas d'ma faute, ils m'ont tous plu Ô mon bon monsieur Saint-Pierre Je n'sais pas fair' de prière Mais on dit qu'vous êtes si gentil Ret'nez ma place au paradis
Y a pas à dir', j'aimais la vie Mais maint'nant ça m'avance à quoi Me v'là tout' froide et tout' raidie Entre quatre planches de bois Vraiment, mon âme n'est pas fière Devant la porte de cristal Où j'entrevois derrièr' Saint-Pierre Une éternité d'idéal Je n'suis qu'une âm' de rien du tout Je n'sais mêm' pas me mettre à g'noux
Ô mon bon monsieur Saint-Pierre Moi j'vous cause à ma manière Vous pouvez m'enl'ver mes désirs Me priver de tous mes souv'nirs Et mêm' me confisquer mon clip Celui qu'm'a payé l'beau Philippe Mais donnez-moi ma place au paradis On m'a tell'ment dit que c'était joli Regardez-moi bien Je suis si pauvre Regardez mes mains Des mains de pauvre Et regardez tous mes péchés Et mon vieux cur las de tricher De tous les noms écrits dessus Y'en a plus qu'un, celui d'Jésus Ô mon bon monsieur Saint-Pierre Je n'sais pas fair' de prière Alors mettons que j'n'ai rien dit Mais gardez-moi au paradis
Lullaby In Ragtime Composer(s): Sylvia Fine First performance/First release by: Danny Kaye & Louis Armstrong - 1959 Covered by multiple other artists
Won't you play the music so the cradle can rock to a lullaby in ragtime Sleepy hands are creeping to the end of the clock play a lullaby in ragtime You can tell the sandman is on his way by the way that they play As still, as the trill, of a thrush, in a twilight high
So you can hear the Rhythm of the ripples on the side of the boat
as you sail away to dreamland High above the moon you hear a silvery note as the sandman takes your hand So rock-a-by my baby don't you cry my baby sleepy-time is nigh Won't you rock me to a ragtime lullaby So rock-a-by my baby
don't you cry my baby sleepy-time is nigh Won't you rock me to a ragtime lullaby
Monsieur Lenoble Composer(s): Michel Emer Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Monsieur Lenoble est très triste Depuis que sa femme l'a quitté Avec un tout jeune artiste Qu'elle a connu cet été Et monsieur Lenoble écoute La mélodie qu'elle aimait Ces quelques notes, goutte à goutte L'empoisonnent à jamais La-la-la...
T'as pas profité de ta chance Mon ami, mon ami Tu avais trop de confiance C'est fini, c'est fini T'avais une femme merveilleuse Si jolie, si jolie T'as pas su la rendre heureuse T'es tout seul, elle est partie...
Monsieur Lenoble raisonne Il pense à tout ce qu'il a fait Ses intentions étaient bonnes Même s'il n'était pas parfait Peut-être pas très bon caractère Il s'emportait pour un rien Mais au bureau, ses confrères Le trouvaient un homme très bien Très bien... très bien... très bien...
T'as pas profité de ta chance Mon ami, mon ami Tu avais trop de confiance C'est fini, c'est fini T'avais une femme merveilleuse Si jolie, si jolie T'as pas su la rendre heureuse T'es tout seul, elle est partie...
Monsieur Lenoble se mouche Met sa chemise de nuit Ouvre le gaz et se couche Demain, tout sera fini Et monsieur Lenoble pense A celle qu'il adorait Et monsieur Lenoble pense A celle qu'il adorait...
T'as pas profité de ta chance Mon ami Tu avais trop de confiance C'est fini... T'avais une femme merveilleuse Si jolie... T'as pas su la rendre heureuse Tu avais trop de confiance... Trop de confiance... trop de confiance Confiance... Confiance...
Lullaby And Goodnight Composer(s): Johannes Brahms Performer(s): Shaina Noll and multiple other artists
Lullaby, and good night With pink roses bedight With lilies o'erspread Is my baby's sweet head Lay you down now, and rest May your slumber be blessed! Lay you down now, and rest May thy slumber be blessed!
Lullaby, and good night You're your mother's delight Shining angels beside My darling abide Soft and warm is your bed Close your eyes and rest your head Soft and warm is your bed Close your eyes and rest your head
Sleepyhead, close your eyes Mother's right here beside you I'll protect you from harm You will wake in my arms Guardian angels are near So sleep on, with no fear Guardian angels are near So sleep on, with no fear
Lullaby, and sleep tight Hush! My darling is sleeping On his sheets white as cream With his head full of dreams When the sky's bright with dawn He will wake in the morning When noontide warms the world He will frolic in the sun

Casey Jones Composer(s): Eddie Newton - Lawrence Seibert Performer(s): Spike Jones
You all know Casey was the engineer but have you heard the story of the bombardier? Casey Junior was the gentlemen's name he's the fighting son of Casey and his name was the same The call to scramble came at half past four but Casey started out to even up the score He mounted to the cabin with his orders in his hand and was set to knock the stuffing out of Tojo land
Casey Jones, he mounted to the cabin Casey Jones, with his orders in his hand Casey Jones, he mounted to the cabin set to knock the stuffing out of Tojo land
In Shangri la they got aboard the plane the ceiling was high not a sign of rain They revved up the motors and got set to go to pay an unexpected visit on Tokyo In climbed Casey he's the bombardier Doolittle read the orders and they gave a cheer For land of baron hanging in the base below were some mighty pretty calling cards for Tokyo They flew and they flew across the deep blue sky with every one among them there do or die And let me tell you people the feeling was grand when they sighted up the targets over Tojo land Now all of the sounds they ever heard that day the sweetest one of all was "Bombs away!" They strafed 'em in the harbor and they strafed 'em in the square Then they headed down for a landing in you know where
Casey Jones, was a working for the nation Casey Jones, with his orders in his hand Casey Jones, was a working for the nation and he sent those mommas to the promised land
