Not now, Moose, I'll tell you when
Here's a dance you should know When the lights are down low Grab your baby then go
Do the Hucklebuck (do the Hucklebuck) Do the Hucklebuck (do the Hucklebuck) If you don't know how to do it Boy, you're out of luck (boy, you're out of luck) Push your partner out (push your partner out) Then you hunch your back (then you hunch your back) Start a little movement in your sacroiliac (sacroiliac) Wiggle like a snake (wiggle like a snake) Waddle like a duck (waddle like a duck) That's the way you do it when you do the Hucklebuck
Here's a dance you should know When the lights are down low Grab your baby then go
Yeah, dad, right now!
Here's a dance you should know When the lights are down low Grab your baby then go
Do the Hucklebuck Do the Hucklebuck If you don't know how to do it Boy, you're out of luck Push your partner out Then you hunch your back Start a little movement in your sacroiliac
Wiggle like a snake Waddle like a duck
That's the way you do it when you do the Hucklebuck
C'était Hier
Composer(s): Alain Goraguer - Claude Lemesle
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri
Sous la tonnelle, qu'elle était belle La demoiselle de paradis sur mer Des yeux lavandes, un sourire tendre Mais l'air d'attendre Tous les soleils d'enfer Toi, tu ne voyais qu'elle, rien qu'elle Pas moi Moi qui ne regardais jamais que toi
C'était hier, c'était ailleurs La grande guerre des petits bonheurs
Sous la tonnelle, s'en moquait-elle La demoiselle de paradis sur mer Sombre et lointaine Comme une reine d'histoire ancienne Mais le cur bien sûre d'elle Tu en mourrais d'espoir, regards, soupirs J'en mourrais de chagrin, sans rien te dire
C'était hier, c'était ailleurs La grande guerre des petits bonheurs
C'était hier, c'était ailleurs La grande guerre des petits bonheurs
Freedom For The World Composer(s): Paul Anka; Jack White Performer(s): Paul Anka; David Hasselhoff
Look at the madness The faces of sadness The people who try to survive Why is it so The children are wondering why
We've broken the promise The truth is upon us Somehow we're living a lie And why don't we start The start being smart, you and I
Just look around, what do you see Is this the way we want it to be I can't believe the way we carry on, are we wrong Ev'rybody all over the world We've got to get along If we don't get together, we'll be gone
Talking 'bout freedom Freedom for you and me Freedom for the world I said freedom Freedom for you and me Freedom for the world Got to have freedom Freedom for you and me Freedom for the world
Look at tomorrow Think of the sorrow Think of price we'll pay Look to your heart And love will lead the way
People are praying People are saying How long can this go on It just isn't right To fight for the right to belong
Ev'rybody all over the world Raise your voices in song If we don't get together, we'll be gone
Talking 'bout freedom Freedom for you and me Freedom for the world We need freedom Freedom for you and me Freedom for the world We need freedom Freedom for you and me Freedom for the world I said freedom Freedom for you and me Freedom for the world
Ev'rybody wants freedom Freedom for you and me Freedom for the world We got to have some freedom Freedom for you and me Freedom for the world Ev'rybody needs it for the world Freedom for you and me Freedom for the world I said freedom Freedom for you and me Freedom for the world Ev'rybody said you got you got to have freedom Freedom for you and me Freedom for the world We've got to have it Freedom for you and me Freedom for the world For you and me And freedom for the world Ev'rybody wants it Freedom for you and me Freedom for the world Talking 'bout freedom for the world Freedom for you and me
The Howler Composer(s): Adrian Belew - King Crimson Performer(s): King Crimson
Here is the angel of the world's desire Placed on trial To hide in shrouded alley sihouettes With cigarette coiled To stike at passing voices Dark and suspect Here is the howling ire
Here is the sacred face of rendevous In subway sour Whose grand delusions prey like intellect In lunatic minds Intent and focused on The long thin matches To light the howling fire...
C'était Bien ((aka Le P'tit Bal Perdu (André Bourvil) - 1960)
Composer(s): Robert Nyel - Gaby Verlor
First release by: André Bourvil - 1960
Covered by multiple other artists
C'était tout juste après la guerre Dans un petit bal qu'avait souffert Sur une piste de misère Y'en avait deux, à découvert Parmi les gravats ils dansaient Dans ce petit bal qui s'appelait... Qui s'appelait... qui s'appelait... qui s'appelait... Non je ne me souviens plus du nom du bal perdu Ce dont je me souviens ce sont ces amoureux Qui ne regardaient rien autour d'eux Y'avait tant d'insouciance Dans leurs gestes émus Alors quelle importance Le nom du bal perdu? Non je ne me souviens plus du nom du bal perdu Ce dont je me souviens c'est qu'ils étaient heureux Les yeux au fond des yeux Et c'était bien... Et c'était bien... Ils buvaient dans le même verre Toujours sans se quitter des yeux Ils faisaient la même prière D'être toujours, toujours heureux Parmi les gravats ils souriaient Dans ce petit bal qui s'appelait... Qui s'appelait... qui s'appelait... qui s'appelait... Non je ne me souviens plus du nom du bal perdu Ce dont je me souviens ce sont ces amoureux Qui ne regardaient rien autour d'eux Y'avait tant d'insouciance Dans leurs gestes émus Alors quelle importance Le nom du bal perdu? Non je ne me souviens plus du nom du bal perdu Ce dont je me souviens c'est qu'ils étaient heureux Les yeux au fond des yeux Et c'était bien... Et c'était bien... Et puis quand l'accordéoniste S'est arrêté, ils sont partis Le soir tombait dessus la piste Sur les gravats et sur ma vie Il était redevenu tout triste Ce petit bal qui s'appelait Qui s'appelait... qui s'appelait... qui s'appelait... Non je ne me souviens plus du nom du bal perdu Ce dont je me souviens ce sont ces amoureux Qui ne regardaient rien autour d'eux Y'avait tant de lumière Avec eux dans la rue Alors la belle affaire Le nom du bal perdu Non je ne me souviens plus du nom du bal perdu Ce dont je me souviens c'est qu'on était heureux Les yeux au fond des yeux Et c'était bien... Et c'était bien

The House That Jack Built Composer(s): Bob Lance - Fran Robbins First release by: Thelma Jones - 1968
This is the house that Jack built, y'all Remember this house!
This was the land that he worked by hand The was the dream of an upright man This was the room that was filled with love This was a love that I was proud of This was a life of a love I planned Of a love and a life we loved Of the house that Jack built Remember this house!
There was the fence that held our love There was the gate that he walked out of This is the heart that is turned to stone This was the house, but it ain't no home This is the love that I once had In a dream that I thought was love This is the house that Jack built I'm gonn' remember this house!
Oh-ohh wha-a-at's the use of crying? Because I brought it on myself There's no denying But it see-e-ee-ems awful funny That I didn't understand Was it a house of an upright man
Up on the hill There's a big plan still In the house that Jack built
Listen! I got the house I got the car I got the rug And I got the rack But I ain't got Jack And I want my Jack back!
I turned my back on Jack He said he wasn't coming back I turned my back on Jack he said he wasn't coming back Ohhh, Jack Ohh! Come on back Ohh Jack Oh come on back He wanted to use me
Cet Homme Que Voilà
Composer(s): Richard Cocciante - Marco Luberti
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Tu vas t'asseoir ici Et tu vas m'écouter La femme que j'aimais Tu me l'as fait quitter Et je suis devenu Cet homme que voilà Et te voilà perdu Eperdu de remords Pour n'avoir jamais su Résister à ton corps Tu ne le verras plus Cet homme que voilà
Je vais laisser la place Je plains mon successeur Un jour quoi que tu fasses Tu feras son malheur Tu te rappelleras Cet homme que voilà
Je connais ton programme Je vois ton avenir D'autres mains te réclament Que tu vas faire souffrir Tes jolis yeux sans âme Me dégouttent à vomir
Va détruire le bonheur Fait ton travail sur Terre Va faire couler des pleurs Va déclencher des guerres Ton joli corps sans cur Va le vendre aux enchères
N'attends pas trop longtemps Les rides n'attendent pas Ce soir je voudrais tant Que ton dernier contrat Que ton dernier client Soit l'homme que voilà
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na...
Que ton dernier contrat Que ton dernier client Soit l'homme que voilà...
Sometimes I feel like Im almost gone Sometimes I feel like Im almost gone Sometimes I feel like Im almost gone A long, long, long, way, way from my home
Clap your hands Clap your hands Clap your hands Clap your hands Clap your hands Clap your hands Clap your hands Clap your hands Hey yeah
I got a telephone in my bosom And I can call him up from my heart I got a telephone in my bosom And I can call him up from my heart
When I need my brother brother When I need my mother mother Hey yeah etc.
The House Song Composer(s): Noel Paul Stookey - Bannard Performer(s): Peter, Paul & Mary and multiple other artists
This house goes on sale ev'ry Wednesday morning And taken off the market in the afternoon You can buy a piece of it if you want to It's been good to me if it's been good for you
Take the grand look now the fire is burning Is that your reflection on the wall? I can show you this room and some others If you came to see the house at all
Careful up the stairs, a few are missing I haven't had the time to make repairs First step is the hardest one to master Last one I'm not really sure is there
This room here once had childish laughter And I come back to hear it now and again I can't say that I'm certain what you're after But in this room, a part of you will remain
Second floor, the lady sleeps in waiting Past the lantern, tiptoe in its glance In the room the soft brown arms of shadow This room the hardest one to pass
How much will you pay to live in the attic? The shavings off your mind are the only rent I left some would there if you thought you couldn't Or if the shouldn't that you've bought has been spent
This house goes on sale ev'ry Wednesday morning And taken off the market in the afternoon You can buy a piece of it if you want to It's been good for me if it's been good for you
Cet Anneau D'or
Composer(s): P. Carrel - Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant
Performer(s): Georges Guétary
Cet anneau d'or Que je pourrai bientôt mettre à ton doigt Cet anneau d'or Dira au monde entier que tu es à moi Et que nous deux devant Dieu et les hommes On s'est juré un éternel amour
Cet anneau d'or Pour nous deux jusqu'à la fin du monde Enchaînera nos curs d'une joie vagabonde Et tu seras pour moi encore plus belle Quand tu auras cet anneau d'or au doigt!
Cet anneau d'or Pour nous deux sera la douce chaîne Qui restera toujours dans ta main et la mienne Il suffira pour qu'on oublie nos peines De voir briller ce petit anneau d'or
Cet anneau d'or Pour nous deux jusqu'à la fin du monde Enchaînera nos curs d'une joie vagabonde Et tu seras pour moi encore plus belle Quand tu auras cet anneau d'or au doigt!
House Of Singing Bamboo Composer(s): Arthur Freed - Harry Warren Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney; Adolph Deutsch; Guy Mitchell
Got a place in the sun A particular one On a tropical avenue Far away from it all That I happily call The house of singing bamboo On the windier days Seems an orchestra plays On a musical breeze for you Like a merry salute From a heavenly flute To the house of singing bamboo So here I'll stay, nevermore to roam From my new old-fashioned South Sea home You don't have to count sheep That's for "Little Bo Peep" You can sleep till the sun peeks through You can dream any dream For you know that your dreams come true When you live in a house In a house of singing bamboo
Freebootin' Composer(s): Robert B. Sherman; Richard M. Sherman Performer(s): Johnny Whitaker & Jeff East
Tom and Huck: Freebootin' Freebootin' Kickin' up our feet in the sand Freebootin' Freebootin' Livin' off the fat of the land
Got no doors to shut us in We got no ties that bind Rollin' down the road to sin Without no never mind
Huck: Like a big fat cow A-chewin' on her cud
Tom: Like a cat fish grubbin' In the bottom of the mud
Huck: We're happy as a coot And we don't give a hoot
Tom and Huck: Ain't we fine?
Freebootin' Freebootin' Kickin' up our feet in the sand Freebootin' Freebootin' Livin' off the fat of the land
Nobody's tellin' us when to rise Or when to sleep or eat Nobody's here to criticize Or whack us on the seat
Like a hog in the slime We're wallerin' our time Doin' what we're doin' And it ain't no crime We don't give a dang Let the world go hang Ain't life sweet? Freebootin' Freebootin' Kickin' up our feet in the sand Freebootin' Freebootin' Livin' off the fat of the land
We're thick as thieves And tough as mules We don't know wrong from right Got no bounds Got no rules We don't know day from night
We got no worries We just don't care Mean as a buzzard And hungry as a bear Better steer clear And you better beware We may bite!
The House Is Haunted (By The Echo Of Your Last Goodbye)
The House Is Haunted (By The Echo Of Your Last Goodbye)
Composer(s): Billy Rose - Basil Adlam
Performer(s): Mel Tormé
and multiple other artists
The house is haunted by the echo of your last goodbye
The house is haunted by the mem'ries that refuse to die
I can't get away from a vision that brings
Intimate glimpses of intimate things
A voice in my heart like a torch singer sings
I wonder who's kissing her now?
The house is haunted by the echo of your fav'rite song
The place is cluttered up with mem'ries that have lived too long
Much too long
The ceiling is white, but the shadows are black
The ghost in my heart says she'll never come back
The house is haunted by the echo of your last goodbye
I'll never forget you, I'll never forget you
The house is haunted by the echo of your last goodbye
C'est What? Composer(s): Rick Davies Performer(s): Supertramp
Yes I've been waiting Waiting patiently and waiting
Well if you ever feeling sorry So sorry for yourself And they tell you not to worry Just leave your problems on the shelf
C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what? That's what they tell you C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what? Day and night
You're on the inside looking outside Wishing you were somewhere else But you sit back with reservations As you count up all your unearned wealth
C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what? Ah they're sayin' it again C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what? You know it and I know it too
Well let me tell you a story Like the ones I used to know 'Bout love and all its glory Well I'm sorry but it just ain't so
It took a long time just to get even If you know just what I mean So let's call it even Steven In the land of broken dreams
C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what? Ah they're at it again C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what? Every day and every night I can't take it anymore
Gonna get it, don't sweat it Don't apologize, it's all around you Gonna get it, don't sweat it Don't apologize, it's all around you
You may never be all that you wanna be Deep down inside you, you know it will never be No bed of roses or walk down the avenue Culturally, socially, people walk over you Get with the program and make with the attitude Life is a dream if you face it my friend
Free Bird Composer(s): Allen Collins; Ronnie Van Zant Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd
If I leave here tomorrow Would you still remember me? For I must be travelling on, now 'Cause there's too many places I've got to see But, if I stayed here with you, girl Things just couldn't be the same 'Cause I'm as free as a bird now And this bird you can not change Lord knows, I can't change
Bye, bye, it's been a sweet love Though this feeling I can't change But please don't take it badly 'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame But, if I stayed here with you girl Things just couldn't be the same Cause I'm as free as a bird now And this bird you'll never change And this bird you can not change Lord knows, I can't change Lord help me, I can't change
You Are My Heart's Delight ((aka My Heart Is Yours Alone (Richard Tauber) - 1931)) ((German Version: Dein ist mein ganzes Herz (Richard Tauber) - 1929)) Composer(s): Franz Lehár - Harry Graham Performer(s): Richard Tauber - 1931 and multiple other artists
You are my hearts delight And where you are, I long to be You make my darkness bright When like a star you shine on me Shine, then, my whole life through Your life divine bids me hope anew That dreams of mine may at last come true And I shall hear you whisper, I love you
In dreams when night is falling I seem to hear you calling For you have cast a net around me And neath a magic spell hath bound me Yours, yours alone A wondrous air is your beautiful hair Bright as a summer sky is the night in your eyes Soft as a sparkling star is the warmth of my love
You are my hearts delight And where you are, I long to be You make my darkness bright When like a star you shine on me Shine, then, my whole life through Your life divine bids me hope anew That dreams of mine may at last come true And I shall hear you whisper, I love you
C'est Vrai
Composer(s): Casimir Oberfeld - Albert Willemetz
Performer(s): Mistinguett
Oui c'est moi me voila je m'ramène J'ai vu London j'ai vu Turin L'Autriche-Hongrie Mais de Vienne il fallait que j'revienne Car je n'peux pas moi je vous l'dis M'passer de Paris Ce Paris qui pourtant vous chine tant et tant
On dit que j'aime les aigrettes Les plumes et les toilettes C'est vrai On dit que j'ai la voix qui traîne En chantant mes rengaines C'est vrai Lorsque ça monte trop haut moi je m'arrête Et d'ailleurs on n'est pas ici à l'Opéra On dit que j'ai l'nez en trompette Mais j'serais pas Mistinguett Si j'étais pas comme ça
Que c'est bon quand on vient d'Amsterdam Et qu'on a vu pendant des mois des tas d'pays De retrouver le macadam de Paname Ses autobus et son métro et ses taxis Paris et ses boulevards avec tous ses bobards On dit que j'ai de grandes quenottes Que je n'ai que trois notes C'est vrai On dit que j'aime jouer les arpètes Les marchandes de violettes C'est vrai Mais ne voulant pas chiper aux grandes coquettes Leur dame aux camélias moi j'vends mes bégonias On dit que j'ai de belles gambettes Mais j'serais pas Mistinguett Si j'étais pas comme ça
On dit quand je fais mes emplettes Que j'paye pas c'que j'achète C'est vrai On dit partout et l'on répète Que j'lâche pas mes pépettes C'est vrai Mais si elle faisait comme moi pour sa galette Marianne n'aurait pas un budget aussi bas Et si l'on mettait à la tête des finances Mistinguett On en serait pas là!
