Talk To The Animals Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse First performance by: Rex Harrison & Ginny Tyler - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
... [missing] thinks what do you means I could talk to the animals, just imagine it Chattin' with a chimp in chimpanzee Imagine talking to a tiger, chatting with a cheetah What a neat achievement it would be!
If we could talk to the animals, learn all their languages Maybe take an animal degree I'd study elephant and eagle, buffalo and beagle Alligator, guinea pig, and flea!
I would converse in polar bear, python And I would curse in fluent kangaroo If people ask me "can you speak rhinocerous?" I'd say "of courserous! Can't you?"
I conferred with our furry friends, man to animal Think of the amazing repartee If I could walk with the animals, talk with the animals Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals And they could talk to me!
If I consulted with quadrupeds Think what fun we'd have asking over crocodiles for tea! Or maybe lunch with two or three lions, walruses and sea lions What a lovely place the world would be!
If I spoke slang to orangutans The advantages any fool on earth could plainly see! Discussing Eastern art and dramas With intellectual llamas That's a big step forward you'll agree!
I'd learn to speak in antelope and turtle My Pekinese would be extremely good If I were asked to sing in hippopotamus I'd say "whynotamous?" and (I) would!
If I could parlay with pachyderms It's a fairy tale worthy of Hans Anderson and Grimm A man who walks with the animals, talks with the animals Grunts and squeaks and squawks with the animals All an easy just think of it and they could talk to me!

Gli Inesorabili
((French Version: La Joie D'aimer (by Dalida))
Composer(s): Dimitri Tiomkin
Performer(s): Dalida
Inesorabile come il destino Inesorabile come sei tu E' il nostro amor più dolce del suono Di queste note che ascolti con me Ed anche a quelli che senza perdono Il mondo danna ad un cupo dolor La vita sempre riserba in dono Lacarità d'un po d'amor
Altro del creato Fuor dell'amore non c'è Quello che ho sognato Rivive con te per te Ci chiude il cielo il suo cuore di stelle Che pare intriso di lacrime d'or Ci parlan tutte le cose più belle Dicendo amor, soltanto amor
Ci parlan tutte le cose piu belle Dicendo amor, soltanto amor Dicendo amor, soltanto amor
Talk To Me Of Mendocino Composer(s): Kate McGarrigle - Anna McGarrigle First release by: Kate & Anna McGarrigle - 1975
I bid farewell to the state of old New York My home away from home In the state of New York I came of age When first I started roaming And the trees grow high in New York State And they shine like gold in the autumn Never had the blues from whence I came But in New York State I got 'em
Talk to me of Mendocino Closing my eyes I hear the sea Must I wait Must I follow Won't you say come with me
And it's on to South Bend, Indiana Flat out on the western plain Rise up over the Rockies And down on into California Out to where but the rocks again And let the sun set on the ocean I will watch it from the shore Let the sun rise over the redwoods I'll rise with it till I rise no more
Talk to me of Mendocino Closing my eyes I hear the sea Must I wait Must I follow Won't you say come with me
Gli Amici Miei Composer(s): Roberto Vecchioni Performer(s): Roberto Vecchioni
In questa storia che diventa tempo in questo tempo che diventa amore ho conosciuto ragazze ridenti fuggenti nel giro di poche ore e con due ali di cera mi sono permesso di andare a toccare il sole qualche sorriso di madre fa crescere in fretta fa bene alla pelle e al cuore che è tutto da dimostrare ho ereditato la terra che aveva mio padre ovvero le sue parole e guardo l'alba che insegue il tramonto che insegue la notte per far l'amore e sento te che mi riempi la stanza e la vita ché niente può farmi male e penso Dove saranno gli amici miei quelli del tempo che c'era lei? come vorrei... cosa darei... dove saranno gli amici miei?
amore, amore, tienimi forte la mano e aiutami a ricordare io sono un piccolo uomo sotto un piccolo vetro che non si può più spezzare vorrei mandare in frantumi memoria, pensieri, almeno per un saluto e avere ancora vent'anni, ancora tutto da dire per un minuto
E chiudo gli occhi più forte del tempo però tu non mi lasciare e all'improvviso li vedo lontani, vicini gli stessi di mille sere e sento tutte le voci la dolce, l'acuta, la tenue la disperata e devo chiedere scusa a qualcuno ricordo... ma forse è una puttanata stasera
Tornano tutti gli amici miei forse non sono partiti mai erano qui dentro di me e non l'avevo capito mai tornano tutti gli amici miei noi non ci siamo lasciati mai e sono qui dentro di me tornano tutti gli amici miei

Gli Altri Siamo Noi English Title: We Are All The Same Composer(s): Giancarlo Bigazzi; Umberto Tozzi Performer(s): Umberto Tozzi
Non sono stato mai più solo di così è notte ma vorrei che fosse presto lunedì con gli altri insieme a me per fare la città con gli altri chiusi in se che si aprono al sole come fiori quando si risvegliano, si rivestono quando escono, partono, arrivano ci somigliano, angeli avvoltoi come specchi gli occhi nei volti perché gli altri siamo noi
I muri vanno giù al soffio di un'idea Allah come Gesù in chiesa o dentro una moschea e gli altri siamo noi, ma qui sulla stessa via vigliaccamente eroi, lasciamo indietro i pezzi di altri noi che ci aspettano e si chiedono perché nascono e subito muoiono forse rondini, foglie d'Africa, ci sorridono di malinconia tutti vittime di carnefici tanto prima o poi gli altri siamo noi Quando cantano, quando cadono, gli altri siamo noi In questo mondo gli altri siamo noi Quando nascono, quando muoiono, gli altri siamo noi Gli altri siamo noi Noi che stiamo in comodi deserti di appartamenti e di tranquillità lontani dagli altri, ma tanto prima o poi gli altri siamo noi In questo mondo piccolo oramai gli altri siamo noi
Si gli altri siamo noi fra gli Indios e gli Indù ragazzi in farmacia che ormai non ce la fanno più famiglie di operai licenziati dai robot e zingari dell'est in villette di periferia siamo tutti vittime dei carnefici tanto prima o poi gli altri siamo noi In questo mondo gli altri siamo noi Quando sparano, quando sperano, gli altri siamo noi In questo mondo piccolo oramai gli altri siamo noi In questo mondo gli altri siamo noi

Slow down, you move too fast You got to make the morning last Just kicking down the cobble stones Looking for fun and feelin' groovy
Hello lamppost What cha knowing? I've come to watch your flowers growing Ain't cha got no rhymes for me? Doot-in' doo-doo Feelin' groovy

Mr. Dieingly Sad Composer(s): Don Ciccone; The Critters Performer(s): The Critters; Lou Christie; Albert Garcia
Just a breeze will muss your hair But you smile away each little care And if the rain should make you blue You say tomorrow is anew Blue be your eyes, blonde your hair You realize beyond a care Life's in a hurry, but You've got no worry, you're So mystifyingly glad I'm Mr. Dieingly Sad
And when the leaves begin to fall Answering old winter's call I feel my tears, they fall like rain Weeping forth the sad refrain Blue, dark, and dim it may seem You mark a grin, a moonbeam Brightens your smile, pray tell me How all the while you can be So mystifyingly glad I'm Mr. Dieingly Sad
You say "take my hand and walk with me Wake this land and stop the sea Show me love, unlock All doors I'm yours"
Then the tide rolls up to shore I whisper low, "I love you more More than even you could know" Adore me do so I could show
Glendora Composer(s): Ray Stanley Performer(s): Perry Como; and various other artists

Mr. Businessman Composer(s): Ray Stevens Originally performed by: Ray Stevens Covered by various other artists
Itemize the things you covet As you squander through your life Bigger cars, bigger houses Term insurance for your wife Tuesday evenings with your harlot And on Wednesdays it's your charlatan analyst, he's high upon your list
You've got air conditioned sinuses And dark disturbing doubts about religion And you keep those cards and letters going out While your secretary's tempting you Your morals are exempting you from guilt and shame Heaven knows you're not to blame
You better, take care of business Mr. Businessman What's your plan? Get down to business Mr. Businessman if you can Before it's too late and you throw your life away
Did you see your children growing up today And did you hear the music of their laughter As they set about to play Did you catch the fragrance of those roses in your garden Did the morning sunlight warm your soul, Brighten up your day Do you qualify to be alive or is the limit of your senses so as only to survive Hey yeah.....
Spending counterfeit incentive Wasting precious time and health Placing value on the worthless Disregarding priceless wealth You can wheel and deal the best of them And steal it from the rest of them You know the score, their ethics are a bore
Eighty-six anesthetic crutches prop you to the top Where the smiles are all synthetic And the ulcers never stop When they take that final inventory, Yours will be the same sad story everywhere No one will really care, no one more lonely than This rich important man, let's have your autograph Endorse your epitaph
You better, take care of business Mr. Businessman What's your plan? Get down to business Mr. Businessman if you can
