    Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful
    Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Oscar Hammerstein II
    Performer(s): Julie Andrews & Jon Cypher
    and multiple other artists



    Prince:
    Do I love you because you're beautiful, or are you beautiful because I love you?
    Am I making believe I see in you a girl too lovely to be really true?
    Do I want you because you're wonderful, or are you wonderful because I want you?
    Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream or are you really as beautiful as you seem?

    Cinderella:
    Am I making believe I see in you a man too perfect to be really true?
    Do I want you because you're wonderful, or are you wonderful because I want you?

    Both: Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream or are you really as wonderful as you seem?

    Piep-piep-hoi, piep-piep-hoi, Calimero
    Piep-piep-nou, piep-piep-nou, Calimero
    Op zijn koppie staat een eierdop
    O-hoi-o-hoi-o-hoi

    Calimero is een heel lief kuikentje
    (Calimero: "ja, dat is ik ook!")
    Hij vindt alles leuk en goed
    Er steekt geen kwaad in hij doet!

    Piep-piep-hoi, piep-piep-hoi, Calimero
    Piep-piep-ja, piep-piep-ja, Calimero
    Piep-piep-nou, piep-piep-nou, Calimero
    Op zijn koppie staat een eierdop

    Hoor is hoe ik dingen kan, Calimero
    Papa houdt er niet zo van, Calimero
    Maar ik vind het toch zo fijn, Calimero
    Mama zegt waarom m'n kind
    Het is goed om blij te zijn

    Piep-piep-hoi, piep-piep-hoi, Calimero

    Ik zou zo graag iets groter zijn, Calimero
    en meedoen aan een zangfestijn, Calimero
    Maar dat lukt nog niet zo gauw, Calimero
    Papa zegt je droomt te veel
    En dat vind ik flauw
    Calimero is een heel lief kuikentje

    Hij vindt alles leuk en goed
    Er steekt geen kwaad in hij doet!

    Falling In Love Again Adapted from: Ich Bin Von Kopf Bis Fuß Auf Liebe Eingestellt - 1929/1930 Composer(s): Friedrich Holländer; Sammy Lerner Performer(s): Marlene Dietrich - 1930 Covered by multiple other artists



    Falling in love again
    Never wanted to
    What am I to do?
    Can't help it

    Love's always been my game
    Play it as I may
    I was born that way
    Can't help it

    Men flock around me
    Like moths around a flame
    And if their wings burn
    I know I'm not to blame

    Falling in love again
    Never wanted to
    What am I to do?
    Can't help it

    Love's always been my game
    Play it as I may

    Can't help it

    Men flock around me
    Like moths around a flame

    California, Here I Come Composer(s): Al Jolson - Bud De Sylva - Joseph Meyer First recording/First release by: Al Jolson - 1924 Covered by multiple other artists



    When the wintry winds are blowing and the snow is starting in to fall
    then my eyes turn west-ward
    knowing that's the place I love the best of all
    California , I've been blue, since I've been away from you
    I can't wait 'til I get going
    Even now I'm starting in to call
    Oh...

    California, here I come right back where I started from
    Where Bowers of flowers bloom in the spring
    Each morning at dawning, birdies sing an' everything
    A sunkist miss said, "Don't be late" that's why I can hardly wait
    Open up that Golden Gate
    California here I come

    Any one who likes to wander ought to keep this saying in his mind
    "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" of the good old place you leave behind
    When you've hit the train awhile, seems you rarely see a smile
    that's why I must fly out yonder, where a frown is mighty hard to find!
    Oh....

    California, here I come right back where I started from
    Where Bowers of flowers bloom in the spring
    Each morning at dawning, birdies sing an' everything
    A sunkist miss said, "Don't be late" that's why I can hardly wait
    Open up that Golden Gate
    California here I come

    Uh’oh’ uh’oh ’falling’ falling’
    Uh’oh’ uh’oh ’falling in love’ falling in love again’

    Like walking in the park or dancing in the dark
    Just wanna hold you throughout the night

    Prince of fire’ sweet desire with your devil’ may you care
    Release me from your spell
    I don’t want this’ love ain’t fair

    I’m falling in love again

    Chorus 2:

    The Actor
    Composer(s): Justin Hayward
    Performer(s): The Moody Blues



    The curtain rises on the scene
    With someone shouting to be free
    The play unfolds before my eyes
    There stands the actor who is me

    The sleeping hours takes us far
    From traffic, telephones and fear
    Put out your problems with the cat
    Escape until a bell you hear

    Our reasons are the same
    But there's no-one we can blame
    For there's nowhere we need go
    And the only truth we know comes so easily

    The sound I have heard in your hello
    Oh, oh, darling, you're almost part of me
    Oh, oh, darling, you're all I'll ever see
    Ah, ah, ah

    It's such a rainy afternoon
    No point in going anywhere
    The sounds just drift across my room
    I wish this feeling I could share

    It's such a rainy afternoon
    She sits and gazes from her window
    Her mind tries to recall his face
    The feeling deep inside her grows

    Our reasons are the same
    But there's no-one we can blame
    For there's nowhere we need go
    And the only truth we know comes so easily

    The sound I have heard in your hello
    Oh, oh, darling, you're almost part of me
    Oh, oh, darling, you're all I'll ever see
    The sound I have heard in your hello
    Oh, oh, darling, you're all I'll ever see
    Oh, oh, darling, you're almost part of me
    Ah, ah, ah

    Well, I’m going out west where I belong
    Where the days are short and the nights are long

    They shimmy and I’ll shimmy
    They fly and I’ll fly
    Well they’re out there having fun

    Well, I’m going out west out on the coast
    Where the California girls are really the most
    Where they walk and I’ll walk
    They twist and I’ll twist
    They shimmy and I’ll shimmy
    They fly and I’ll fly
    Well they’re out there having fun

    Well the girls are frisky in old ‘Frisco
    A pretty little chick wherever you go

    Falling In And Out Of Love
    Composer(s): Craig Fuller
    Performer(s): Pure Prairie League



    More than what I feel...
    Touchin' what is real...
    All our thoughts are reelin' round...
    Carolina's feelin' down...
    To-day
    Falling in and out of love with you...
    Falling in and out of love with you
    Don't know what I'm gonna do
    I keep falling in and out of love with you

    I can see why you think you belong to me
    I never tried to make you think
    Or let you see one thing for your self
    But now your off with someone else and I'm alone
    You see I thought that I might keep you for my own
    Well I guess I was wrong

    Amie what you wanna do, I think I could stay with you
    For a while, maybe longer if I do

    Don't you think the time is right for us to find
    All the things we thought weren't proper could be right in time
    And can't you see, which way we should turn together or alone
    I can never see what's right or what is wrong
    (And you take to long to tell me)

    Amie what you wanna do, I think I could stay with you
    For a while, maybe longer if I do

    Now it's come to what you want you've had your way
    And all the things you thought before just faded into gray
    And can you see, That I don't know if its you or if its me
    If its one of us I'm sure we'll both will see
    So take a good long look and tell me...

    Amie what you wanna do, I think I could stay with you
    For a while, maybe longer if I do (Longer if I do) (Repeat)
    I'd just keep...
    Falling in and out of love with you
    Falling in and out of love with you
    Don't know what I'm gonna do, I keep
    Falling in and out of love, with you

    Accrington Pals
    Composer(s): Mike Harding
    Performer(s): Mike Harding



    Smoky town where they were born
    Down in the valley, smoky little streets
    They were pals from childhood days
    Climbing trees and running through the fields
    And they all played together through the turning of the years
    Sharing their laughter, sharing all their fears
    The Seasons saw them growing and
    Seasons passing turned them round
    With the changing, changing, changing years
    Accrington Pals

    Schooldays' end, the lads all went
    To work, some spinning, some weaving in the sheds
    On the land or down the pit
    Working hard to earn their daily bread.
    And they all went walking up old Pendle Hill
    On Sundays the larks sang high above the dales
    Little Willie Riley played his mandolin and sang
    They were laughing, they were smilingsinging then
    Accrington Pals

    1916, came the call
    "We need more lads to battle with the Hun
    Lads of Lancashire, heed the call
    With God on our side, the battle will soon be won"
    So they all came marching to the beating of the drums
    Down from the fields and factories they come
    Smiling at the girls who
    Came to see them on their way
    They were marching, marching, marching away
    Accrington Pals

    Blue sky shining on a perfect day
    A lark was singing, high above the Somme
    Brothers, pals and fathers lay
    Watching that sweet bird sing in the quiet of the dawn
    And they all went walking out towards the howling guns
    Talking and laughing, calmly walking on
    Believing in the lies that
    Left them dying in the mud
    And they're lying, lying, lying still
    Accrington Pals

    Smoky town which heard the news
    Down in the valley, smoky little streets
    Houses quiet and curtains drawn
    All round the town a silent shroud of grief
    And the larks were singing still above old Pendle Hill
    The wind was in the bracken and the sun was shining still
    A lark was singing sweetly as
    The evening fell upon the Somme...

    For Edward Parkinson, Bobby Henderson, Willie Clegg,
    Johnny Molloy, Norman Jones, Albert Berry, Willie Riley

    California Soul Composer(s): Nickolas Ashford - Valerie Simpson Performer(s): The 5th Dimension and multiple other artists



    Like a sound you hear
    That lingers in your ear
    But you can't forget
    From sundown to sunset
    It's all in the air
    You hear it everywhere
    No matter what you do
    It's gonna get a hold on your
    It's California soul, California soul

    They say the sun comes up every morning
    And if you listen carefully
    The winds that ride on the high time
    Whistle in melody
    And so the people started to sing
    And that's how the surf gave birth untold
    It's California soul, California soul

    When you hear the beat
    You wanna pat your feet
    And you've got to move cause
    It's really such a groove
    Puts a brand new thing in your mind
    And you can't go wrong
    Cause you're happy all day long
    It's California soul, California soul

    They had the melody and the beat
    But it still doesn't seem complete
    Until they saw two lovers kissin
    They knew just what was missin
    So happy they were rockin and reelin
    Because that added that lovin feeling
    To California soul, California soul
    Like a sound you hear
    That lingers in your ear

    Falling Down
    Composer(s): Joe Walsh
    Performer(s): Joe Walsh



    Making no deposit, no return
    Making the same mistakes, we never learn
    All of the pain in those faces
    Trying not to show concern

    Spent and broken
    Like a worn out subway
    Talking in the city

    Hanging in the closet, wait in line
    When you go by the laws, you pay the fine
    I'm burning the candle at both ends
    Twice the light in half the time

    Damn the calling
    Feel like I'm falling
    Ooh, and as the rain doesn't have to hurry in the city

    The 3:10 To Yuma
    Composer(s): George Duning - Ned Washington
    Performer(s): Frankie Laine
    and multiple other artists



    There is a lonely train called the 3.10 to Yuma
    The pounding of the wheels is more like a mournful sigh
    There's a legend and there's a rumour
    When you take the 3.10 to Yuma
    You can see the ghosts of outlaws go ridin' by (Ridin' by)
    In the sky (In the sky), way up high
    The buzzards keep circlin' the train
    While below the cattle are thirstin' for rain

    It's also true they say on the 3.10 to Yuma
    A man may meet his fate
    For fate travels ev'rywhere
    Though you've got no reason to go there
    And there ain't a soul that you know there
    When the 3.10 to Yuma whistles its sad refrain
    Take that train (Take that train)
    Take that train

    So when you take the train called the 3.10 to Yuma
    And leave the things you love
    You leave with a silent prayer (Silent prayer)
    Though you've got no reason to go there
    And there ain't a soul that you know there
    When the 3.10 to Yuma whistles its sad refrain
    Take that train
    Take that train

    California shoeshine boys
    you can shine my shoes

    Falling Apart At The Seams
    Composer(s): Tony Macaulay
    Performer(s): Marmalade; Junior Campbell



    Until you came, it felt like my world
    Was fallin' apart at the seams
    All of my childhood dreams were empty and meaningless
    Until we kissed it seemed like the rain
    Was turnin' my hopes into sand
    Ah, I was a yesterday man until I found you

    It was as plain as the nose on my face
    That I was heading nowhere
    Then into my life came an angel of grace
    Sunlight in her hair
    Now love is the strangest emotion
    Cause just when
    I want you to stay
    Seems like you're changing, don't turn me away
    Don't turn me away

    (Chorus)

    Oooh...

    I'm like a man in a mantle of black
    Who just saw the light.
    Who cast off the shadow when you gave him back
    The meaning to life
    Now love is the strangest emotion
    Cause just when I want you to stay
    Seems like you're changing, don't turn me away
    I want you to stay

    (Chorus)

    1913 Massacre
    Composer(s): Woody Guthrie
    First recording by: Woody Guthrie - 1945
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Take a trip with me in nineteen thirteen
    To Calumet, Michigan, in the copper country
    I'll take you to a place called Italian Hall
    Where the miners are having their big Christmas ball

    I'll take you through a door, and up a high stairs
    Singing and dancing is heard everywhere
    I will let you shake hands with the people you see
    And watch the kids dance round that big Christmas tree

    You ask about work and you ask about pay
    They'll tell you that they make less than a dollar a day
    Working the copper claims, risking their lives
    So it's fun to spend Christmas with children and wives

    There's talking and laughing and songs in the air
    And the spirit of Christmas is there everywhere
    Before you know it, you're friends with us all
    And you're dancing around and around in the hall

    Well, a little girl sits down by the Christmas tree lights
    To play the piano, so you gotta keep quiet
    To hear all this fun you would not realize
    That the copper-boss thug-men are milling outside

    The copper-boss thugs stuck their heads in the door
    One of them yelled and he screamed, "There's a fire!"
    A lady, she hollered, "There's no such a thing!
    Keep on with your party, there's no such a thing"

    A few people rushed, and it was only a few
    "It's only the thugs and the scabs fooling you"
    A man grabbed his daughter and carried her down
    But the thugs held the door and he could not get out

    And then others followed, a hundred or more
    But most everybody remained on the floor
    The gun-thugs they laughed at their murderous joke
    While the children were smothered on the stair by the door

    Such a terrible sight I never did see
    We carried our children back up to their tree
    The scabs outside still laughed at their spree
    And the children that died there were seventy-three

    The piano played a slow funeral tune
    And the town was lit up by a cold Christmas moon
    The parents they cried and the miners they moaned
    "See what your greed for money has done"

    California Revisited
    Composer(s): Dan Peek
    Performer(s): America



    Heaven may be an answer
    If you're lookin' for Eden in the sky
    On your waters I see a strange reflection
    Rumor has it I'll see you when I die

    Everyone I meet is from California
    There's dancin' in the streets in California

    In California you watch the shadow dancer
    Floating gently, gently on the sea
    In California you're such a strange romancer
    Come and see me when the world has set you free

    Everyone I meet is from California
    There's dancin' in the streets in California

    Everyone I meet is from California
    There's dancin' in the streets in California

    Falling
    Composer(s): Roy Orbison
    Performer(s): Roy Orbison



    I'm falling, I'm falling
    Falling in love with you

    Baby come closer, closer to me
    And listen, listen so carefully
    Remember all the nights that I told you
    I loved you

    It wasn't true, I used you, and you were
    Just someone new
    To thrill this lonely heart of mine
    I was lying all the time

    Pretending to be falling in love with you
    But it's different now, I've kissed you now
    So forgive me, forgive me somehow
    Hold me tight for tonight, and tell me true
    If you still love me
    Say that you love me
    Don't leave me now
    Now that I'm falling for you

    I'm falling, I'm falling
    Falling in love
    Falling in love with you

    Covered by multiple other artists



    I'm in with the "in" crowd
    I go where the "in" crowd goes
    I'm in with the "in" crowd
    And I know what the "in" crowd knows
    Any time of the year don't you hear (gotta have fun)
    Dressin' fine makin' time
    We breeze up and down the streets
    We get respect from the people we meet
    They make way day or night
    They know the "in" crowd is outta sight!
    I'm in with the "in" crowd
    I know every latest dance
    When you're in with the "in" crowd
    It's easy to find romance
    At a spot where the beat's really hot (there we'll go)
    If it's square we ain't there
    We make every minute count, yeah
    Our share is always the biggest amount
    Other guys imitate us
    But the original's still the greatest
    Got our own way of walkin' yeah
    And our own way of talkin' yeah
    Anytime of the year don't you hear (gotta have fun)
    Spendin' cash and talkin' trash
    Girl I'll show you a real good time yeah
    Come on with me and leave your troubles behind
    I don't care where you've been
    You ain't been nowhere 'til you been in
    With the "in" crowd oh yeah
    With the "in" crowd
    Got our own way of walkin'
    And our own way of talkin' yeah
    Walkin' with the "in" crowd
    Talkin' 'bout the "in" crowd
    mmmmmmm
    ... and I go where the "in" crowd goes
    mmmmmmm
    ... and I know what the "in" crowd knows

    California Nights Composer(s): Marvin Hamlisch - Howard Liebling First release by: Lesley Gore - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists



    Along the sand
    Let's walk the shore together, now, just hand in hand
    It's gonna be fair weather, now
    When the stars come out, stop to count them in the sky

    Love California nights
    When I'm walkin' with you hand in hand by the shore
    Yes, I love California nights
    At the beach where we'd swim with the tide rolling in

    And there will be beneath the midnight sky above
    Just you and me, and we will whisper words of love
    While the fire light softly flickers in the sand

    Warm California nights
    With the breeze blowin' in - time for love to begin
    I would miss California nights if I went on my way
    Thinkin' now that I'll stay

    Ooh, baby
    Love you, baby
    Mm, baby

    Love California nights
    Always close as a kiss, nothing's sweeter than this
    And we'll spend California nights
    Always close as a kiss ...
