Zé qualquer tava sem samba, sem dinheiro Sem Maria sequer Sem qualquer paradeiro Quando encontrou um samba Inútil e derradeiro Numa inútil e derradeira Velha nota de um cruzeiro
``Seu Marquês'', ``seu'' Almirante Do semblante meio contrariado Que fazes parado No meio dessa nota de um cruzeiro rasgado ``Seu Marquês'', ``seu'' Almirante Sei que antigamente era bem diferente Desculpe a liberdade E o samba sem maldade Deste Zé qualquer Perdão Marquês de Tamandaré Pedrão Marquês de Tamandaré
Pois é, Tamandaré A maré não tá boa Vai virar a canoa E este mar não dá pé, Tamandaré Cadê as batalhas Cadê as medalhas Cadê a nobreza Cadê a marquesa, cadê Não diga que o vento levou Teu amor até
Pois é, Tamandaré A maré não tá boa Vai virar a canoa E este mar não dá pé, Tamandaré Meu marquês de papel Cadê teu troféu Cadê teu valor Meu caro almirante O tempo inconstante roubou
Zé quaquer tornou-se amigo do marquês Solidário na dor Que eu contei a vocês Menos que queira ou mais faça É o fim do samba, é o fim da raça Zé qualquer tá caducando Desvalorizando Como o tempo passa, passando Virando fumça, virando Caindo em desgraça, caindo Sumindo, saindo da praça Passando, sumindo Saindo da praça
Mr. Moonlight Composer(s): Roy Lee Johnson Performer(s): The Beatles
Mr. Moonlight You came to me one summer night And from your beam you made my dream And from the world you sent my girl And from above you sent us love And now she is mine I think you're fine because we love you Mr. Moonlight
Mr. Moonlight come again please here I am on my knees begging if you please
And the night you don't come my way I pray and pray more each day because we love you Mr. Moonlight
And the night you don't come my way I pray and pray more each day because we love you Mr. Moonlight Mr. Moonlight Mr. Moonlight

Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Es kommt zu dir und fliegt davon Sowie ein bunter Luftballon Den man nicht halten kann
Es ist mein allerliebster Gast Der leider fortgeht ab und zu Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Und mein Glück bist nur du
Ich spür in deiner Nähe Wie gut ich dich verstehe Und wär so gern für immer Und alle Zeit bei dir
Doch wenn ich ganz alleine bin Und traurig und ganz klein bin Mit meinen dummen Träumen Dann sage ich zu mir
Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Es kommt zu dir und fliegt davon Sowie ein bunter Luftballon Den man nicht halten kann
Es ist mein allerliebster Gast Der leider fortgeht ab und zu Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Und mein Glück bist nur du
Ich schaue in den Garten Wo tausend Blumen warten Das sie sich wärmen können Im Sommersonnenschein
Dann kommen bunte Falter Als ihre Unterhalter Doch bringt ein Tag nur Regen Dann bleiben sie allein
Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Es kommt zu dir und fliegt davon Sowie ein bunter Luftballon Den man nicht halten kann
Es ist mein allerliebster Gast Der leider fortgeht ab und zu Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Und mein Glück bist nur du
Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Und mein Glück bist nur du

Mr. Moon Composer(s): Hugh Nicholson Performer(s): Blue
Last night Mr. Moon came calling He laid his silver just as sun was falling Sprinkled sparkling stardust in the sky So I pulled up close to the riverside Picked some sticks for firelight And sat and watched the sparks flying high
Oh, and it made me feel good Just to watch the burning wood As I sat and looked at my reflection Well I know I'm not so trouble free But on that night, I had to be The stars they commanded me to smile
Oh, and it made me feel good Just to watch the burning wood As I sat and looked on my reflection Well I maybe right and I maybe wrong But I got music for a little song When I gazed upon the magic moonlight night
Glory Glory Composer(s): Eddie Brigati; Felix Cavaliere Performer(s): The Rascals
I saw a child He was carrying a light I asked where it came from He blew it right out His eyes looked into me His voice was a song He said tell me tell me do you Know where it's gone
(Chorus) Glory, Glory My eyes have seen the mountain My soul can sing the song Glory, Glory Singing Hallelujah The truth is marching on
Every morn' the sun lights us all The trees ask for nothing They just let their fruit fall Fire's the same no matter What the source The flame of life burns on It's never, never lost

Mr. Monday Composer(s): Dennis Lambert; Brian Potter
He gets up at eight oclock On cold clear winter days He eats his food at half past eight And clears the pots away He drives his car in the city streets And he meets along the way A lot of tall dark people Who stand there all the day Hes Mister Monday He works all day from nine to five Hes Mister Monday He lives alone in the city I see him in the evening I pass him at the door I say, Hello, how are you? And I know hes very poor He looks at the street through his window He watches the people pass by He loves little dogs and children And he never tells a lie Hes Mister Monday ...

I am the man who will fight for your honor I'll be the hero that you're dreaming of We're gonna live forever knowing together That we did it all for the glory of love
We live forever knowing together That we did it all for the glory of love
We did it all for love We did it all for love We did it all for love We did it all for love...

Talking World War III Blues Composer(s): Bob Dylan Performer(s): Bob Dylan
Some time ago a crazy dream came to me I dreamt I was walkin' into World War Three I went to the doctor the very next day To see what kinda words he could say He said it was a bad dream I wouldn't worry 'bout it none, though They were my own dreams and they're only in my head
I said "Hold it, Doc, a World War passed through my brain" He said "Nurse, get your pad, this boy's insane" He grabbed my arm, I said "Ouch!" As I landed on the psychiatric couch He said "Tell me about it"
Well, the whole thing started at 3 o'clock fast It was all over by quarter past I was down in the sewer with some little lover When I peeked out from a manhole cover Wondering who turned the lights on
Well, I got up and walked around And up and down the lonesome town I stood a-wondering which way to go I lit a cigarette on a parking meter And walked on down the road It was a normal day
Well, I rung the fallout shelter bell And I leaned my head and I gave a yell "Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man" A shotgun fired and away I ran I don't blame them too much though I know I look funny
Down at the corner by a hot-dog stand I seen a man, I said, "Howdy friend I guess there's just us two" He screamed a bit and away he flew Thought I was a Communist
Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave "Let's go and play Adam and Eve" I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin' When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin' You see what happened last time they started"
Well, I seen a Cadillac window uptown And there was nobody aroun' I got into the driver's seat And I drove 42nd Street In my Cadillac Good car to drive after a war
Well, I remember seein' some ad So I turned on my Conelrad But I didn't pay my Con Ed bill So the radio didn't work so well Turned on my player It was Rock-A-Day, Johnny singin' "Tell Your Ma, Tell Your Pa Our Loves Are Gonna Grow Ooh-wah, Ooh-wah"
I was feelin' kinda lonesome and blue I needed somebody to talk to So I called up the operator of time Just to hear a voice of some kind "When you hear the beep It will be three o'clock" She said that for over an hour And I hung it up
Well, the doctor interrupted me just about then Sayin, "Hey I've been havin' the same old dreams But mine was a little different you see I dreamt that the only person left after the war was me I didn't see you around"
Well, now time passed and now it seems Everybody's having them dreams Everybody sees themselves walkin' around with no one else Half of the people can be part right all of the time Some of the people can be all right part of the time But all the people can't be all right all the time I think Abraham Lincoln said that "I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours" I said that

Talking In Your Sleep Composer(s): Bobby Wood - Roger Cook First release by: Crystal Gayle - 1978 Covered by multiple other artists
Three o'clock in the morning And it looks like it's gonna be another sleepless night I've been listenin' to your dreams and gettin' very low Wondering what I can do
Maybe I'm being foolish 'Cause I haven't heard you mention anybody's name at all How I wish I could be sure it's me that turns you on Each time you close your eyes I've heard it said that dreamers never lie
You've been talkin' in your sleep Sleepin' in your dreams Wish some sweet lover Holdin' on so tight loving her the way You used to love me Talkin' in your sleep with lovin' on your mind
