    That's Him Over There
    Composer(s): Marilyn Bergman - Lew Spence
    Performer(s): Nina Simone; Peggy Lee



    I see your face in this room full of faces
    I'm trying hard not to stare
    Strange to see you again, here of all places
    That's him over there

    My baby looks the same as he did when I met him
    I'd know that laugh anywhere
    It was foolish of me to think I'd forget him
    That's him over there

    I wish I could be the girl at his side
    The one who has taken my place
    Can everyone see what I'm trying to hide
    Isn't it written all over my face?

    I guess that you kow what extremes I have gone to
    To prove that I didn't care
    You were so anxious to meet the dream I've hung onto
    Well, that's him, that's my Jim, over there

    Caballero Composer(s): Louis Poterat - Francis López Performer(s): Georges Guétary; M. Coste Orch.



    Un Caballero revient de Grenade!
    Un Caballero chante son aubade!
    Un Caballero n'est pas un poète!
    Un Caballero n'en fait qu'à sa tête!
    Mais fais attention toi qui sans façon
    Ris d'un air moqueur, ma belle!
    Car je peux d'un bond franchir ton balcon
    Pour prendre ton cœur rebelle ...

    Devant tes rideaux, doux comme un agneau
    Mon chant dans la nuit s'attarde...
    Mais l'agneau d'un coup se transforme en loup
    Quand on rit de lui... prends garde! Ah!

    Un Caballero repart pour Grenade!
    Un Caballero chante son aubade!
    Ton Caballero n'est pas un poète!
    Son cœur est si gros qu'il en perd la tête
    Mais sur son cheval, un soir c'est fatal
    Il t'emportera ma belle ...
    Tu seras punie d'avoir ri de lui
    Et tu lui seras fidèle...
    Jusqu'à ce qu'un jour s'en aille l'amour
    Qui chante sous ta fenêtre...
    Alors regrettant sa chanson d'antan
    Tout bas tu diras peut-être...

    O Caballero... O Caballero... O Caballero!
    Adios, adios, au revoir!

    Gypsy, Joe And Me
    Composer(s): Dolly Parton
    Performer(s): Dolly Parton



    We might have slept in a rail yard or camped by the river bank
    We fed ourselves from the fruit of the land
    And quenched our thirst with rain
    We never did allow no roots to grow beneath our feet
    Life just had no pattern for Gypsy, Joe and me

    All we had was each other and the rags upon our back
    The closest thing to a home we new was some abandoned shack
    But we had all we needed and the rest we didn't need
    Life was free and simple for Gypsy, Joe and me

    Now Gypsy was my little dog, I found by the road in a ditch
    And so I named him Gypsy, cause that name just seemed to fit
    Oh and Joe he was my man, the flower of my soul
    Thou he never said he loved me, I just always seemed to know

    While standing by the highway, thumbin' for a ride
    The speeding wheels of a passing car, took Gypsy's life
    I lost him where I found him and his loss was misery
    Now there's no more Gypsy, there's just Joe and me

    Well the winter came and the snow did fall
    And the night was cold and still
    And the rags we wore were not enough
    And Joe he caught the chill
    And he told me how he loved me
    And in my arms he went to sleep
    Now there's no more Gypsy, no more Joe, there's just me

    While standin' here on the edge of this bridge
    Lookin' down I see
    The face of Joe and Gypsy, lookin' back at me
    And somewhere in the distance I can hear them callin' me
    Tonight we'll be together again
    Gypsy, Joe and me

    That’s Him
    Composer(s): Ogden Nash - Kurt Weill
    Performer(s): multiple artists



    You know the way you feel when there is autumn in the air
    That’s him, that’s him
    The way you feel when Antoine has finished with your hair
    That’s him, that’s him
    You know the way you feel when you smell fresh bread baking
    The way you feel when, oh, your aching back stops aching
    Wonderful world, wonderful you, that’s him, that’s him, that’s him

    Be simple as a breeze that blows in summer
    Be natural, not actuary
    He’s like a plumber when you need a plumber
    Mmm, he’s satisfactory
    You know the way you feel at movies when the lights grow dimmer
    The way you feel when overnight your hips grow slimmer
    Wonderful world, wonderful you
    Say, c’est Paris, say New York, sa-voury

    In the darkest caves and hallways, I would know him always
    ‘Cause I would see that he‘s the one for me
    How could I pass by him when I’d identify him so easily
    Because you know the way you feel about a rhapsody in blue
    His eyes are blue
    His eyes are brown! His are on the town
    The way you feel about a hat created just for you, that’s him, that’s him
    He’s Christmas, he’s collar, he’s a coke with cherries
    Let’s face it girls – he’s a man - he’s necessary
    Wonderful world, wonderful you, that’s him, that’s him

    Cab Driver Composer(s): C. Carson Parks Performer(s): The Mills Brothers; Gatlin Brothers; Squeeze-bot



    Cab Driver, drive by Mary's place
    I just wanna chance to see her face
    Don't stop the meter, let it race
    Cab Driver, drive by Mary's place

    Cab Driver, once more round the block
    Never mind the ticking of the clock
    I only wish we could have a talk
    Cab Driver, once more round the block

    Cab Driver, once more down the street
    There's a little place we used to meet
    That`s where I laid my future at her feet
    Cab Driver, once more down the street

    Cab Driver, wait here by the door
    Perhaps I'll hold her in my arms once more
    Then thing's will be just like before
    Cab Driver, wait here by the door

    Cab Driver, better take me home
    I guess that I was meant to be alone
    I hope God sends me a love one of my own
    Cab Driver, better take me home

    Cab Driver, better take me home!

    Gypsy Woman
    Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield
    Performer(s): Curtis Mayfield



    From nowhere through the caravan
    Round the campfire light
    Lovely woman in motion
    With hair as dark as night
    Her eyes were like that of a cat in the dark
    that hypnotized me with love
    She was a gypsy woman
    She was a gypsy woman
    She was a gypsy woman
    She was a gypsy woman
    She was a gypsy woman

    She danced around and round
    Guitar's melody
    From the fire her face was aglow
    How she enchanted me
    I'd like to hold her near
    And kiss her hair and whisper in her ear
    I love you gypsy woman
    I love you gypsy woman
    I love you gypsy woman
    I love you gypsy woman

    All through the caravan
    She was dancing with all the men
    Waiting for the rising sun
    Everyone was having fun
    Hated to see her go
    Knowing that she'll never know
    that I love her
    that I love her

    I love you gypsy woman
    I love you gypsy woman
    I love you gypsy woman
    I love you gypsy woman

    That’s Happiness
    Composer(s): Fred Ebb - Harry Coleman - Paul Klein
    Performer(s): Alma Cogan; Marion Ryan



    The way you say hallo and smile at me each time we meet
    The way you take my hand and walk beside me down the street
    The way you say you need me
    That’s happiness

    The way you speak my name and make it sound just like a sigh
    The way you cheer me up when fortune seems to pass me by
    The way you say you want me
    That’s happiness

    The many tender things you’ve told me
    The gentle kisses that we shared
    The way your arms were meant to hold me
    Each time that I begin to cry

    Although it well may be you’ll never be a millionaire
    It wouldn’t bother me as long as you are always there
    Just to know you love me
    That’s happiness

    Although it well may be you’ll never be a millionaire
    It wouldn’t bother me as long as you are always there
    Just to know you love me
    That’s happiness

    Paris c'est une blonde
    Qui plaît à tout le monde
    Le nez retroussé l'air moqueur
    Les yeux toujours rieurs
    Tous ceux qui la connaissent
    Grisés par ses caresses
    S'en vont mais reviennent toujours
    Paris à tes amours!

    La petite vogue de Paris
    Malgré ce qu'on en dit
    A les mêmes attraits qu'Hollywood
    Oui mais...
    Elle possède à ravir
    La manière de s'en servir
    Elle a perfectionné la façon de se donner
    Ça, c'est Paris!
    Ça, c'est Paris!

    Paris c'est une blonde
    Qui plaît à tout le monde
    Le nez retroussé l'air moqueur
    Les yeux toujours rieurs
    Tous ceux qui la connaissent
    Grisés par ses caresses
    S'en vont mais reviennent toujours

    Gypsy Wind
    Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
    Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg



    I still recall the place
    When I first felt your gypsy wind
    Playing on my face
    That summer's long since gone
    But gypsy winds have ways of staying on

    Voices from our past
    Still insist on arguing
    That love will never last
    And though our hearts may turn
    It's only when you listen
    that you learn

    And I wonder at the ways
    The strands of love meander
    Through our close and distant days
    The blood of passion plays
    Burns our thirsty souls
    And chases reason far away...
    Far away...
    And still your gypsy wind
    Will soothe my soul and call me
    back again

    Growing wise with age
    We come to see the printing
    Through the pictures on the page
    Though something's always lost
    The gain is always tempered by the cost

    And I wonder at the ways
    The strands of love meander
    Through our close and distant days
    The blood of passion plays
    Burns our thirsty souls
    And chases reason far away...
    Far away...
    And still your gypsy wind
    Will soothe my soul and call me back again

    Performer(s): George Jones
    and multiple other artists



    Yes, I still love you (That's good)
    But I've got doubts about us (That's bad)
    Still I don't know if it's in me to leave you (Ah honey, that's good)
    It would be the worst break my heart ever had

    We still have something (And it's good)
    Though I do feel it's slipping (Ah, that's bad)
    But I'll try like to devil to save it (Ah, that's good)
    I'd sure miss that ol' feeling we had

    We thought of this love to last
    We're falling apart and that's sad
    We've got to get it back together we're losing our love
    That's good, that's bad

    We could go to the bedroom (That's good)
    It's been too long since we've been there (Honey, that's bad)
    We might break down this wall that's between us
    And bring back the good love we had

    We thought of this love to last
    We're falling apart and that's sad
    We've got to get it back together we're losing our love
    That's good, that's bad

    Chit Akins, Make Me A Star
    Composer(s): Don Bowman
    Performer(s): Don Bowman



    Nobody knows where he came from
    They don't know how he got in
    But Nashville won't forget the day
    That he walked right in to RCA
    With a guitar.....and a grin

    Hey there, Chit Akins, would you make me a star?
    Oh, I tell you I am somethin' else with this guitar
    Really! I mean, listen, you don'tknow what you're missin'
    Just listen
    I mean just lis-ten to this...
    ... Ain't that fierce? Ain't that intense?

    The crowd began to gather
    To watch the fun begin
    With his cowboy boots and his coveralls
    His one-way ticket from Cedar Falls
    That big guitar.... and a grin

    Hey there, Chit Akins, would you make me a star?
    I mean me being such a gas with this guitar
    Listen, would you believe I ain't even got your correspondence course yet
    That's hard to believe, ain't it?
    S'true! Never had a lesson
    Never! And just listen
    Just lis-ten here...

    Everybody seemed to like him
    So the Company took him in
    Background music is all he plays
    He's on all them records from RCA
    With his guitar... and his grin

    Hey, Chit Akins
    How come it is I never get to play by myself, huh?
    I mean, you get to play by yourself
    How come I don't never get to play with some o' them big symphonies like you do, huh?
    How come, Chit? How 'bout when the swellin' goes down in my fingers?
    Then can I? Huh, Chit?

    Ça Vient Sans Qu'on Y Pense
    Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Jacques Plante
    Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



    La pluie
    Frappe à la fenêtre
    L'ennui
    Dans nos cœurs pénètre
    Les nuits
    Sont plus longues que les jours

    Où sont
    Nos jolies vacances
    Frissons
    De l'eau bleue qui danse
    Chansons
    Et soleil sur nos amours

    Ça vient sans qu'on y pense
    Soudain ça recommence
    Et rien, rien n'est jamais perdu d'avance
    Sans bruit ça se prépare
    Et puis sans crier gare
    Ça vient quand on n'y croyait plus

    C'est vrai
    La saison est moche
    Je n'ai
    Plus un sou en poche
    Faudrait
    Un miracle du bon Dieu alleluia

    Mais toi
    Ça te fait sourire
    Je vois
    Que tu vas me dire
    Mais pourquoi
    Prends-tu l'argent au sérieux?

    Ça vient sans qu'on y pense
    Soudain ça recommence
    Et rien, rien n'est jamais perdu d'avance
    Sans bruit ça se prépare
    Et puis sans crier gare
    Ça vient quand on n'y croyait plus

    Un jour
    Comme une tornade
    Au cours
    D'une promenade
    L'amour
    S'est abattu sur nous deux

    D'abord
    On n'y prend pas garde
    Le tort
    C'est qu'on se regarde
    Dès lors
    Tout se passe dans nos yeux

    Ça vient sans qu'on y pense
    Soudain ça recommence
    Et rien, rien n'est jamais perdu d'avance
    Sans bruit ça se prépare
    Et puis sans crier gare
    Ça vient quand on n'y croyait plus

    Des mots
    J'en ai dans ma tête
    Bien trop
    Pour ma chansonnette
    Un flot
    Qui n'a rime ni raison

    Souvent
    Je l'avoue je planche
    Devant
    Une page blanche
    Mais comment
    Vais-je écrire ma chanson?

    Ça vient sans qu'on y pense
    Soudain ça recommence
    Et rien, rien n'est jamais perdu d'avance
    Sans bruit ça se prépare
    Et puis sans crier gare
    Ça vient quand on n'y croyait plus ...

    Gypsy Love Song
    Composer(s): Victor Herbert; Henry Bache Smith
    Performer(s): Connee Boswell;
    and various other artists



    The birds of the forest are calling for thee
    And the shades and the glades are lonely
    Summer is there with her blossoms fair
    And you are absent only

    No bird That nests in the greenwood tree
    But sighs to greet you and kiss you
    All the violets yearn, yearn for your safe return
    But most of all I miss you

    Slumber on, my little gypsy sweetheart
    Dream of the field and the grove
    Can you hear me, hear me in that dreamland
    Where your fancies rove

    Slumber on, my little gypsy sweetheart
    Wild little woodland dove
    Can you hear the love song that tells you
    All my heart's true love

    The fawn that you tamed has a look in its eyes
    That doth say, "We are too long parted"
    Songs that are trolled by our comrades old
    Are not now as they were light hearted

    The wild rose fades in the leafy shades
    Its ghost will find you and haunt
    All the friends say come, come to your woodland home
    And most of all I want you

    That’s For Me
    Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Richard Rodgers
    Performer(s): Dick Haymes



    I saw you standing in the sun and you were something to see
    I know what I liked and I liked what I saw
    And I said to myself, that’s for me

    A lovely morning, I remarked, and you were quick to agree
    You wanted to walk and I nodded my head
    As I breathlessly said, that’s for me

    I left you standing under stars, the day’s adventures are through
    There’s nothing for me but the dream in my heart
    And the dream in my heart, that’s for you
    Oh my darling, that’s for you

    I left you standing under stars, the day’s adventures are through
    There’s nothing for me but the dream in my heart
    And the dream in my heart, that’s for you
    Oh my darling, that’s for you

    C'est drôle, tu es partie
    Et pourtant tu es encore ici
    Puisque tout me parle de toi
    Un parfum de femme, l'écho de ta voix
    Ton adieu, je n'y crois pas du tout
    C'est un au revoir, presqu'un rendez-vous...

    Ça va pas changer le monde
    Il a trop tourné sans nou
    Il pleuvra toujours sur Londres...
    ça va rien changer du tout
    Qu'est-ce que ça peut bien lui faire
    Une porte qui s'est renfermée?
    On s'est aimés, n'en parlons plus
    Et la vie continue

    Ça va pas changer le monde
    Que tu changes de maison
    Il va continuer, le monde
    Et il aura bien raison
    Les poussières d'une étoile
    C'est Ça qui fait briller la voie lactée...
    On s'est aimés, n'en parlons plus
    Et la vie continue

    Ça va pas changer le monde
    Ça va pas le déranger
    Il est comme avant, le monde
    C'est toi seule qui as changé
    Moi, je suis resté le même
    Celui qui croyait que tu l'aimais...
    c'était pas vrai, n'en parlons plus

    It was late last night when the boss come home
    askin' about his lady
    the only answer he received, "She's gone with the
    gypsy Davy, gone with the gypsy Davy"

    "Go saddle for me my buskin' horse
    and a hundred dollars saddle
    point out to me their wagon tracks
    and after them I'll travel, after them I'll ride"

    Well, I had not rode 'til the midnight moon
    when I saw the campfire gleaming
    I heard the notes of the big guitar
    and the voice of the gypsy singin'
    that song of the gypsy Dave

    There in the light of the camping fire
    I saw her fair face beaming
    her heart in tune with the big guitar
    and the voice of the gypsy singing
    that song of the gypsy Dave

    Have you forsaken your house and home
    have you forsaken your baby
    have you forsaken your husband dear
    to go to the gypsy Dave
    and sing with the gypsy Dave
    that song of the gypsy Dave

    Yes, I've forsaken my husband dear
    to go with the gypsy Davy
    and I've forsaken my mansion high
    but not my blue-eyed baby
    not my blue-eyed babe

    Take off take off your buskin'gloves
    made of Spanish leather
    give to me your lily-white hand
    We'll ride back home together
    and we'll ride home again

    No, I won't take off my buskin' gloves
    they're made of Spanish leather
    I'll go my way from day to day
    and sing with the gypsy Davy
    that song of the gypsy Dave
    that song of the gypsy Dave

    That's Entertainment!
    Composer(s): Howard Dietz - Arthur Schwartz
    First performance by: Jack Buchanan, Nanette Fabray, Oscar Levant, Fred Astaire - 1953
    Covered by multiple other artists



    The clown with his pants falling down
    Or the dance that's a dream of romance
    Or the scene where the villain is mean

    That's entertainment!

    The lights on the lady in tights
    Or the bride with the guy on the side
    Or the ball where she gives him a roar

    That's entertainment!

    The plot can be hot, simply teeming with sex
    A gay divorcee who is after her ex
    It can be Oedipus Rex
    Where a chap kills his father
    And causes a lot of bother
    The clerk who is thrown out of work
    By the boss who is thrown for a loss
    By this girl who is doing him dirt

    The world is a stage
    The stage is a world of entertainment!

    It might be a fight like you see on the screen
    A swain getting slain for the lot of a queen
    Some great Shakespearean scene
    Where a ghost and a prince meet
    And everyone ends in mincemeats
    The gag may be waving the flag
    That began with a mystical hand
    Hip hooray, the American way

    The world is a stage
    The stage is a world of entertainment!

    You Gotta Have A Gimmick
    Composer(s): Jule Styne; Stephen Sondheim
    Performer(s): Faith Dane;
    and various other artists



    Mazeppa:
    You can pull all the stops out
    Till they call the cops out
    Grind your behind till you're bend
    But you gotta get a gimmick
    If you wanna get a hand
    You can sacrifice your sacharo
    Working in the back row
    Bump in a dump till you're dead
    Kid you gotta have a gimmick
    If you wanna get ahead
    You can uh...
    You can uh...
    You can uh...uh...uh...
    That's how Burlesque was born
    So I uh...and I uh...
    And I uh...uh...uh...
    But I do it with a horn...
    Once I was a Schleppa
    Now I'm Miss Mazzeppa
    With my revolution in dance
    You gotta have a gimmick
    If you wanna have a chance!

    Electra:
    She can uh... She can uh...
    She can uh...uh...uh...
    They'll never make her pitch
    Me, I uh... and I uh...
    And I uh...uh...uh...
    But I do it with a switch
    I'm electrifying
    And I ain't even trying
    I never had to sweat to get paid
    'Cause if you got a gimmick
    Gypsy girl, you got it made

    Tessie Tura:
    All them uh and then uh...
    And that uh...uh...uh...
    Ain't gonna spell success
    Me, I uh... and I uh...
    And I uh...uh...uh...
    But I do it with finesse
    Lady Tura is so much more then purer
    Than all them other ladies because
    You gotta get a gimmick
    If you wanna get applause

    All:
    Do something special
    Anything special
    And you'll get better because
    Come on and just do mimic
    When you gotta gimmick
    Take a look how different we are!

    Electra:
    If you wanna make it
    Twinkle while you shake it

    Tura:
    If you wanna grind it
    Wait till you refined it

    Mazeppa:
    If you wanna stump it
    Bump it with a trumpet!

    All:
    Get yourself a gimmick and you too
    Can be a star!

    That's Entertainment
    Composer(s): Paul Weller
    First release by: The Jam - 1980
    Covered by multiple other artists



    A police car and a screaming siren
    A pnuematic drill and ripped up concrete
    A baby wailing and stray dog howling
    The screech of brakes and lamplights blinking, I say that's entertainment

    That's entertainment

    A smash of glass and the rumble of boots
    An electric train and a ripped up 'phone booth
    Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat
    Lights going out and a kick in the balls, I say that's entertainment

    That's entertainment

    Days of speed and slow time Mondays
    Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday
    Watching the news and not eating your tea
    A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls, I say that's entertainment

    That's entertainment

    Waking up at 6 a.m. on a cool warm morning
    Opening the windows and breathing in petrol
    An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard
    Watching the tele and thinking about your holidays, that's entertainment

    That's entertainment

    Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes
    Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume
    A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac
    Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were faraway, that's entertainment

    That's entertainment

    Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight
    Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude
    Getting a cab and travelling on buses
    Reading the graffitti about slashed seat affairs,I say that's entertainment

    That's entertainment
