Tingaleo, run little donkey, run Tingaleo, run little donkey, run
My donkey walk, my donkey talk My donkey eat with a knife and fork My donkey eat with a knife and fork Tingaleo, run little donkey, run Tingaleo, run little donkey, run
My donkey jump, my donkey spin My donkey play on the violin My donkey play on the violin Tingaleo, run little donkey, run Tingaleo, run little donkey, run
My donkey read, my donkey write My donkey sleep in the hay at night My donkey sleep in the hay at night Tingaleo, run little donkey, run Tingaleo, run little donkey, run
Tingaleo, where are you, my little donkey? Oh, there you are -- but what's this confetti all Over your mane -- have you been to another party? Why didn't you tell me? Oh, I was fast asleep... But what's this you've brought me -- a cupcake? What a sweet little donkey you are! Tingaleo...

Covered by multiple other artists
I can tell because it's plain to see I can tell the way you look at me The way you know, you hold my hand Yes, pretty baby I can understand I can tell, I can tell I know you don't love me no more
No more, no more No more, a-no more I can tell, I can tell I know you don't love me no more
I asked your mama and your papa, too What more can a poor man do? Now, you been runnin' with a heart-breaker child, around Yes, a new boy's why you put me down I can tell, I can tell I know you don't love me no more
Well, you won't answer your telephone When I knock on your door They say that you ain't home Your sister let me in And tell me I can wait When you come home You show up real late
Now, I can tell Oh, I can tell I know you don't love me no more
No more I said, no more No more No more
Baby, I can give you romance Only if you give me another chance I'll cook your food and wash your clothes I promise I'll keep your warm when it get cold
I can tell I can tell I know you don't love me no more

Ne t'en fait pas On a toute la vie Pour oublier tout ça Il nous reste toutes les nuits Pour faire l'amour autant Que l'on s'est trahi À l'infini Je t'aime à l'infini

Faisons l'amour Comme la première fois Sans se mentir et sans tricher Jusqu'au bout de nos joies Et donne moi, comme avant, ce premier cri À l'infini Je t'aime à l'infini
À chacun notre tour On a trahi l'amour On s'est fait mal sans se quitter Je revenais parfois Tu revenais souvent Le cur blessé en pleurant
Ne t'en fait pas On a toute la vie Pour oublier tout ça Il nous reste toutes les nuits Pour faire l'amour autant Que l'on s'est trahi À l'infini Je t'aime à l'infini

I Can Still Make Cheyenne Composer(s): Aaron Barker; Erv Woolsey Performer(s): George Strait Covered by multiple other artists
Her telephone rang 'bout a quarter to nine She heard his voice on the other end of the line She wondered what was wrong this time She never knew what his calls might bring With a cowboy like him it could be anything And she always expected the worst in the back of her mind
He said, "It's cold out here and I'm all alone I didn't make the short go again and I'm coming home I know I've been away too long I never got a chance to write or call And I know this rodeo has been hard on us all But I'll be home soon and honey is there something wrong?"
She said, "Don't bother comin' home By the time you get here I'll be long gone There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man" He said, "I'm sorry it's come down to this There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss But it's alright baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne Gotta go now baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne
He left that phone danglin' off the hook Then slowly turned around and gave it one last look Then he just walked away He aimed his truck toward that Wyoming line With a little luck he could still get there in time And in that Cheyenne wind he could still hear her say
She said, "Don't bother comin' home By the time you get here I'll be long gone There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man" He said, "I'm sorry it's come down to this There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss But it's alright baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne Gotta go now baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne

Le soleil s'est enfin levé Mes yeux sont enfin ouverts Depuis l'heure où je t'ai trouvé C'en est fini de mes hivers
Je t'aime à en sourire Je t'aime à en pleurer J'ai brûlé au feu de l'oubli Le moindre souvenir Je t'aime à en souffrir Je t'aime sans raison Sans savoir qui tu es Et sans savoir ton nom
Chaque nuit comme au premier jour Nos curs se parlent d'amour J'ai gardé la timidité Du temps où je t'ai rencontré
Je t'aime à en sourire Je t'aime à en pleurer J'ai brûlé au feu de l'oubli Le moindre souvenir Je t'aime à en souffrir Je t'aime sans raison Sans savoir qui tu es Et sans savoir ton nom
Je t'aime à en sourire Je t'aime à en pleurer J'ai brûlé au feu de l'oubli Le moindre souvenir Je t'aime à en souffrir Je t'aime sans raison Sans savoir qui tu es Et sans savoir ton nom

Je T'Aime Composer(s): Paul Eluard; Nush Eluard; Philippe Gérard Performer(s): Yves Montand
Je t'aime pour toutes les femmes Que je n'ai pas connues Je t'aime pour tout le temps Où je n'ai pas vécu Pour l'odeur du grand large Et l'odeur du pain chaud Pour la neige qui fond Pour les premières fleurs Pour les animaux purs Que l'homme n'effraie pas Je t'aime pour aimer Je t'aime pour toutes les femmes Que je n'aime pas
Qui me reflète sinon toi-même Je me vois si peu Sans toi je ne vois rien Qu'une étendue déserte Entre autrefois et aujourd'hui Il y a eu toutes ces morts Que j'ai franchies Sur de la paille Je n'ai pas pu percer Le mur de mon miroir Il m'a fallu apprendre Mot par mot la vie Comme on oublie
Je t'aime pour ta sagesse Qui n'est pas la mienne Pour la santé je t'aime Contre tout ce qui n'est qu'illusion Pour ce cur immortel Que je ne détiens pas Que tu crois être le doute Et tu n'es que raison Tu es le grand soleil Qui me monte à la tête Quand je suis sûr de moi Quand je suis sûr de moi
Tu es le grand soleil Qui me monte à la tête Quand je suis sûr de moi Quand je suis sûr de moi
Tin Man Composer(s): Dewey Bunnell Performer(s): America
Sometimes late when things are real And people share the gift of gab between themselves Some are quick to take the bait And catch the perfect prize that waits among the shelves
But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have And Cause never was the reason for the evening Or the tropic of Sir Galahad
So please believe in me When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round Smoke glass stain bright color Image going down, down, down, down Soapsuds green like bubbles
Oh, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have And Cause never was the reason for the evening Or the tropic of Sir Galahad
So please believe in me When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round Smoke glass stain bright color Image going down, down, down, down Soapsuds green like bubbles
No, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have And Cause never was the reason for the evening Or the tropic of Sir Galahad

Je T'Aime Composer(s): François Rauber; Jacques Brel Performer(s): Jacques Brel
Pour la rosée qui tremble au calice des fleurs De n'être pas aimée et ressemble à ton cur Je t'aime Pour le noir de la pluie au clavecin de l'étang Jouant page de lune et ressemble à ton chant Je t'aime Pour l'aube qui balance sur le fil d'horizon Lumineuse et fragile et ressemble à ton front Je t'aime
À l'aurore légère qu'un oiseau fait frémir En la battant de l'aile et ressembles à ton rire Je t'aime Pour le jour qui se lève et dentelles de bois Au point de la lumière et ressemble à ta joie Je t'aime Pour le jour qui revient d'une nuit sans amour Et ressemble déjà, ressemble à ton retour Je t'aime Pour la porte qui s'ouvre pour le cri qui jaillit Ensemble de deux curs et ressemble à ce cri Je t'aime... Je t'aime Je t'aime

Ferme la porte et assieds-toi Ce soir, je n'me dégonfle pas Ecoute ça, je t'aime! Petite sur, tu croyais bien Que je t'aimais comme un copain C'était pas ça, non, je t'aime! Tu vois, j'ai mis des fleurs partout C'est notre premier rendez-vous Et tu viendras, dis, je t'aime
Quand on dit ça à un fauteuil Dans une chambre où l'on est seul C'est effrayant comme on est seul
Dis-moi bonjour, embrasse-moi Mais ne m'embrasse pas comm' ça C'est plus pareil, dis, je t'aime! On est ensemble et on est là On n'ira pas au cinéma On restera, oh je t'aime!
Quand on dit ça à un fauteuil Dans une chambre où l'on est seul C'est effrayant comme on est seul!
Sainte Marie, priez pour moi Car si elle ne venait pas J'en crèverais, Sainte Marie, je l'aime! Quand on dit ça à un fauteuil Dans une chambre où l'on est seul Sainte Marie, comme on est seul!
Timothy Composer(s): Rupert Holmes Performer(s): The Buoys
Trapped in a mine when a hatch caved in And everyone knows the only one left was Joe And me and Tim When they broke through to pull us free The only ones left to tell the tale were Joe And me
Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go? Timothy, Timothy, god why don't I know?
Hungry as hell, no food to eat Joe said that he would sell his soul For just a piece of meat Water enough to drink for two Joe said to me, I'll take a swig And then there's some For you
Timothy, Timothy, Joe was looking at you Timothy, Timothy, god what did we do?
I must've blacked out just about then, 'cause the very next thing that I could see Was the light of the day again My stomach was full as it could be And nobody ever got around to finding Timothy
Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go? Timothy, Timothy, god, why don't I know?

Performer(s): Dalida
Tu viens de me dire adieu La tristesse est dans tes yeux J'ai beau ne pas y croire C'est fini
Après tant d'amour passé Nous sommes là tous deux blessés Adieu la belle histoire C'est fini Je t'aime
Demain le cur brisé Demain toute seule j'irai J'irai bien loin cachée Ma vie déchirée Où je pourrai sans fin crier, crier Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime
Une autre a volé mon bien Et mes cris n'y pourront rien Au vent déjà il meurt C'est fini
Je voudrai pourtant qu'un jour Tu te rappelles mon amour Un pauvre amour qui saigne Pour la vie Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime Je t'aime
Before I packed my bags this morning So little words I had to say Made me sad to leave her crying When I was flying far away If she could understand my feelings If I could only speak the words If I could only have her with me To say the things she never heard But don't you cry my baby The time will fly my baby And I believe you will be waiting for me
The sky was blue in California and I was happy in the sun I had a dream that you were with me but I awoke to find you gone But don't you cry my baby The time will fly my baby And I believe you will be waiting... for me
I Can Never Go Home Anymore Composer(s): George Morton Performer(s): The Shangri-Las
I'm gonna hide if she don't leave me alone I'm gonna run away Don't!!
'cause you can never go home anymore
Listen Does this sound familiar? You wake up every morning, go to school every day, spend your nights on the corner just passing the time away Your life is so lonely like a child without a toy Then a miracle-a boy And that's called "glad" Now my mom is a good mom and she loves me with all her heart But she said I was too young to be in love and the boy and I would have to part And no matter how I ranted and raved, I screamed, I pleaded, I cried she told me it was not really love but only my girlish pride And that's called "bad"
(Never go home anymore)
Now if that's happened to you, don't let this I packed my clothes and left home that night Though she begged me to stay, I was sure I was right And you know something funny? I forgot that boy right away Instead I remember being tucked in bed and hearing my mama say
(Hush, little baby, don't you cry) (Mama won't go away) Mama!!!
(You can never go home anymore) Mama!!! I can never go home anymore
Do you ever get that feeling and wanna kiss and hug her? Do it now-tell her you love her Don't do to your mom what I did to mine She grew so lonely in the end Angels picked her for a friend
(Never) And I can never go home (never) anymore And that's called "sad"
