Copa Luz Composer(s): Cirino; Sérgio Costa Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
Pela luz que ilumina O traçado e a triz Não importa que seja de giz Ela é como sempre eu quis Rua aberta a caminho do mar Meu amor você vai me encontrar Numa rua qualquer por aí Riso largo de tanto sorrir Peito aberto de tanto de amar
Eu moro em Copacabana Eu moro em Copacabana Coração da América Coração da América do Sul
As the wind blows through the trees It sometimes seems to whisper, he is calling me Then when the rain falls upon the ground I often think that its him following me I dont stop to see if hes behind me I just keep on going, he must never find me He thinks I still belong to him Someone must run, I said someone must run
The sun is sinking from the sky I see a shadow and I think it must be him Sometimes I see someone with their back towards me I think it could just be him If the telephone rings, I dont pick it up If someone knocks at the door, it remains shut What would he do if he found me? Someone must run, I said someone must run

When was the last time you kissed me And I don't mean a touch now and then It's been a long time since you felt like my woman And even longer since I felt like your man

You never look at me and say "I love you" How much more do you think I can stand Oh, there's an old friend out there and she's waiting Lord, she's happy just holding my hand
So tell me if you think it's over And I'll leave it up to you how it ends 'Cause if you don't want the love I can give you Well there's a honky tonk angel who will take me back in Yes, there's a honky tonk angel who will take me back in
Copa De Vino Composer(s): Luis Demetrio Performer(s): Javier Solís
Alcé mi copa de vino para brindar por tu muerte porque es la única forma que puede mi alma dejar de quererte Alcé mi copa de vino para brindar por tu ausencia para pedirle a mi sino no volver a verte más por mi camino
Contigo sólo el sufrimiento conocí y felicidad nunca compartí Y, sin embargo, yo de ti me enamoré pues llegué a creer en la mentira de tu amor
Alcé mi copa de vino para brindar por tu muerte porque es la única forma que puede mi alma dejar de quererte
Contigo sólo el sufrimiento conocí y felicidad nunca compartí Y, sin embargo, yo de ti me enamoré pues llegué a creer en la mentira de tu amor
Alcé mi copa de vino para brindar por tu muerte porque es la única forma que puede mi alma dejar de quererte

Questionable morality You think you married royalty You've got no grip on reality You think it's your destiny Empresses new clothes No ribbons no bows You shouldn't have done what you did to me so Come on Come on

Cootamundra Wattle Composer(s): John Williamson Performer(s): John Williamson
Don't go lookin' through that old camphor box woman You know those old things only make you cry When you dream upon that little bunny rug It makes you think that life has passed you by There are days when you wish the world would stop woman But then you know some wounds would never heal But when I browse the early pages of the children It's then I know exactly how you feel
Hey it's July and the winter sun is shining And the Cootamundra wattle is my friend For all at once my childhood never left me 'Cause wattle blossoms bring it back again
It's Sunday and you should stop the worry woman Come out here and sit down in the sun Can't you hear the magpies in the distance? Don't you feel the new day has begun? Can't you hear the bees making honey woman In the spotted gums where the bellbirds ring? You might grow old and bitter 'cause you missed it You know some people never hear such things
Hey it's July and the winter sun is shining And the Cootamundra wattle is my friend For all at once my childhood never left me 'Cause wattle blossoms bring it back again
Don't buy the daily papers any more woman Read all about what's going on in hell They don't care to tell the world of kindness Good news never made a paper sell There's all the colours of the rainbow in the garden woman And symphonies of music in the sky Heaven's all around us if you're looking But how can you see it if you cry
Hey it's July and the winter sun is shining And the Cootamundra wattle is my friend For all at once my childhood never left me 'Cause wattle blossoms bring it back again
Rumors Are Flying Composer(s): Bennie Benjamin; George David Weiss Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters; and various other artists
Rumors are flying That you've got me sighing That I'm in a crazy kind of a daze A lazy sort of a haze When I go walking I hear people talking They say our affair is not just a passing phase
And they whisper 'bout the flowers You keep sending me by the dozen And they wonder 'bout the hours That you spend with me, it keeps them buzzin'
Rumors are flying And I'm not denying That people are sure I'm falling in love with you 'Cause for a change, darling All the rumors are true
And they whisper all about the flowers The many little flowers you keep sending me by the dozen And they wonder all about the hours That you spend with your baby, what do you do-do-do That keeps 'em buzzin' all the time, all the time
Rumors are flying And I'm not denying That people are sure I'm falling in love with you 'Cause for a change, darling All the rumors are true
There's A Girl In Havana Composer(s): Irving Berlin - E. Ray Goetz - A. Baldwin Sloan
I'm in love with you, but I'll admit, I've told the same tale o'er To a lot of girls, but I'll admit, 'twas never meant before Like every boy, I've loved a few, 'tis true But never with a love I feel for you So I think for future happiness My past I should confess
If a fellow says he loves you, and he's never said the same To another girl, if you believe him, you're the one to blame When love is true each thought you would confide When love is true there's naught that you could hide So to prove my love is not a-miss Is why I tell you this
There's a girl in Havana There's a girl in Savannah I've wooed a few sweet girlies who I promised to be true to But then I never knew, dear That I'd ever meet you, dear So let's forget the girls I met Before I met you
Cooper's Lament Composer(s): Arlo Guthrie Performer(s): Arlo Guthrie
Hey brothers, hear me call It ain't that I had to fall Wasn't no one's fault last night When I looked up and felt the light
Here's hoping you'll understand I want to fell like a natural man Get up early in the morning to do what I can You can't help no one with money If you can't with your hands
And you got to be there brothers, yes you do If the world is turning under you Ain't no good to sit around And bring it up or down You got to be there brothers, yes you do
Hey brothers, now and then There's something that oughta move you More than a pen You don't need no school or knowledge You've got something else to lend And all the people in the world Can make it better again
And it ain't easy, yes I know It's a hard and rugged road Don't be swindled, don't be fooled Just be honest and stay cool
'Cause you got to be there brothers, yes you do If the world is turning under you Ain't no good to sit around And bring it up or down You got to be there brothers, yes you do
From Coney Island to The Sunset Strip Somebody's gonna make a happy trip Tonight, while the moon is bright
He's gonna have a bag of crazy toys To give the groanies of the boys and girls So dig, Santa comes on big
He'll come a callin' when the snows the most When all you cats are sleepin' warm as toast And you gonna flip when Old Saint Nick Takes a lick on the peppernint stick
He'll come a flyin' from a higher place And fill the stocking by the fire place So you'll, have a yule that's cool
Yeah, from Coney Island to The Sunset Strip Somebody's gonna make a happy trip Tonight, while the moon is bright
He's gonna have a bag of crazy toys To give the groanies of the boys and girls So dig, Santa comes on big
He'll come a callin' when the snows the most When all you cats are sleepin' warm as toast And you gonna flip when the Old Saint Nick Takes a lick on the peppermint stick
He'll come a flyin' from a higher place And fill the stocking by the fire place So you'll, have a yule that's cool
There's A Fly On My Music Composer(s): Lew Brown - Sammy Fain - Ralph Freed Performer(s): Spike Jones & his City Slickers
Larry Keating: Del, old boy, what's the matter? Well listen, you know, I gave you a marvellous introduction I built you up as a virtuoso This is really very embarrassing, Del
Del Porter: Pardon me, Mr. Keating For playing' away off key I've sounded sour for over an hour But don't put the blame on me
`Cos, there's a fly on my music Looks just like a note He's in my way an' I can't play The song the feller wrote
Cool Water Composer(s): Bob Nolan Performer(s): Dude Martin - 1936 Covered by multiple other artists
All day I've faced the barren waste Without the taste of water, cool water Old Dan and I with throats burned dry And souls that cry for water, cool, clear water
Keep a-movin', Dan, don't you listen to him, Dan He's a devil not a man And he spreads the burning sand with water Dan can you see that big green tree Where the water's runnin' free And it's waiting there for you and me
The nights are cool and I'm a fool Each star's a pool of water, cool water But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn And carry on to water, cool, clear, water
The shadows sway and seem to say Tonight we pray for water, cool, water And way up there He'll hear our prayer And show us where there's water, cool, clear, water
Dan's feet are sore he's yearning for Just one thing more than water, cool, water Like me I guess he'd like to rest Where there's no quest for water, cool, clear, water
