Covered by multiple other artists



Well, mama go a tippy, tippy toein' through the house
Gotta see what's the matter with the baby
It's been a bawlin' and a squawlin' and a kickin' on the wall
I guess it dropped its' little bottle, maybe

Oh! daddy come a runnin' with the water and a rag
Gonna need another little diaper, maybe
No need a hesitatin' or a wond'rin and a waitin'
I know what's the matter with the baby

No need a hesitatin or a wond'rin and a waitin'
We know what's the matter with the baby

Oh! mama rock-a-baby, daddy rock-a-baby, too
It's a yawnin' and a gettin' sleepy, maybe
So, mama keep a rockin', daddy rock a little, too
And at last it's a sleepy, little baby

Well, mama tippy-toein', daddy tippy-toein' too
Gonna try to do a little sleepin', maybe
Whether it'll be a minute or an hour or two
Is depending entirely on the baby

Well, I hear the clock the ringin', just a dongin' and a dingin'
Daddy go and make a little money, maybe
Mama sleep a little longer, but remember while I'm gone
Won't you please take care of the baby
After all, it's just a little, bitty baby

Oh! mama rock-a-baby, daddy rock-a-baby too
It's a yawnin' and a gettin' sleepy, maybe
Well, mama keep a rockin', daddy rock a little, too
And at last it's a sleepy, little baby

And at last it's a sleepy, little baby 
And at last it's a sleepy, little baby

Well, the sun's gone down
And you're uptown
And you're just out runnin' around

I can't hardly stand it
You're troublin' me
I can't hardly stand
It just can't be
Well, you don't know, a-babe I love you so
You got me all tore up, all tore up

You say you're trough with me
You're settin' me free
You're just out with your used-to-be

I can't hardly stand it
You're troublin' me
I can't hardly stand
It just can't be
Well, you don't know, a-babe I love you so
You got me all tore up, all tore up

Well, my spirit's low
I love (--miss--) you so
I stand alone and watch you go

I can't hardly stand it
You're troublin' me
I can't hardly stand
It just can't be
Well, you don't know, a-babe I love you so
You got me all tore up, all tore up

Well, now that you are gone
And I'm alone
All I do is sit and moan

I can't hardly stand it
You're troublin' me
I can't hardly stand
It just can't be
Well, you don't know, a-babe I love you so
You got me all tore up, all tore up

Baby, all tore up
Baby, all tore up
All tore up... 

Je Te Dois
Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo



Je te dois
Pour cet amour un peu triste
Au fond de toi
Que tu gardes et qui résiste
Malgré moi
Je te dois
Des jardins entiers de roses et de lilas

Je te dois
Pour avoir cru mes promesses les plus folles
Pour avoir misé ta vie sur mes paroles
Je te dois
Pour tes plus beaux rêves sacrifiés pour moi
Moi... toujours moi... moi qui prenait tous les droits
Je te dois
Pour tes nuits de solitude et de grand froid
Toutes les perles de l'aurore
Les étoiles et plus encore... je te les dois
Je te dois
Pour m'avoir suivi au bout de mes délires
Me donnant tout ton meilleur contre mon pire
Je te dois
Pour m'avoir applaudi dans mon cinéma
Quand l'artiste se prenait pour la diva
Je te dois
Parce que tu m'as voulu libre de mes choix
En chapelets... en litanies
En cantiques... en symphonies... mon mea culpa...
mea culpa
J'étais sur mon nuage avec toi loin de toi
Inconscient du naufrage où tu sombrais pour moi
Je t'aimais trop ou je t'aimais mal
Mais je trouvais tout normal
Tu donnais... moi je prenais
C'est pourquoi...
Avant que l'indifférence ne s'installe
Dans tes yeux où brille encore un soleil pâle
Je te dois
Parce que tu es là pour ma dernière escale
Les photos... les projecteurs
Les médailles et les honneurs
Je te le dois... je te les dois
Je te dois
Pour l'enfant qui nous sourit
Toute innocence
Pour la vie qui refleurit
Comme la chance
Je te dois
Pour la place dans ton cœur
Que je prends comme un voleur
Pour tout ça...
Le bail est dûment signé
Tout l'amour du monde entier...
Je te le dois... je te le dois

A Pocketful Of Mistletoe
Performer(s): Sonny James



I got a pocketful of mistletoe
And I'm gonna be headin' up my list
With a certain little Christmas doll I know
Tonight you're gonna be kissed

Oh, tonight is Christmas party time
And I got me a very special date
With the cutest little package anywhere
And I don't wanta be late

I'll be puckered, waiting for a kiss
Just as soon as the party's underway
You'll be standin' underneath my mistletoe
And you're not gettin' away

Oh, I got a pocketful of mistletoe
And I'm gonna be headin' up my list
With a certain little Christmas doll I know
Tonight you're gonna be kissed

And the minute that the party's through
I'll be gettin' to walk you home real slow
We'll be stoppin' off time and time again
Till my pocket's out of mistletoe

Oh, I got a pocketful of mistletoe
And I'm gonna be headin' up my list
With a certain little Christmas doll I know
Tonight you're gonna be kissed and kissed
Tonight you're gonna be kissed

I Can't Go On Loving You
Composer(s): Hank Mills
Performer(s): Roy Drusky; Tracy Nelson



I thought I could, but I can't go on loving you
It hurts too much knowin' you stopped loving me
Don't ask me who's to blame or why I know it's true
I only know I can't go on loving you

Slowly but surely your love became a mem'ry
And heaven knows I can't live on memories
Don't ask me where I'm going or just what I'll do
I only know I can't go on loving you

Slowly but surely your love became a mem'ry
And heaven knows I can't live on memories
Don't ask me where I'm going or just what I'll do
I only know I can't go on loving you
I only know I can't go on loving you

Je Te Crois
Composer(s): Cyril Assous;
Pierre Delanoë; Claude Lemesle
Performer(s): Joe Dassin



Je ne crois pas grand-chose, et comme Saint-Thomas
Je ne vois que la rose qui m'a piqué le doigt
Et que Dieu me pardonne, je n'ai jamais pensé
Qu'il fallait vivre à Rome pour ne pas se tromper

J'ai pas pu avaler, lorsque j'étais enfant
Que la soupe à Mémé faisait devenir grand
Que c'était dans les choux que naissent les garçons
Que dans le monde tout finit par des chansons

Mais quand tu me dis "je t'aime"
Et que deux et deux font trois
Que Venise est sur la Seine
Sans problème, je te crois
Mais quand tu me dis "je t'aime"
Un peu comme en cinéma
Un peu pour la mise en scène
Sans problème, je te
Croix de bois, croix de fer
Tu irais en enfer
Si jamais tu me mentes
Qu'est-ce que ça peut faire
J'irai en même temps

Tu n'as rien du tout de la femme de foyer
Tu ne vaux pas un clou pour les arts ménagers
Tu joues de violoncelle avec des grands-parents
Et tu fais la vaisselle deux ou trois fois par an

Mais quand tu me dis "je t'aime"
Et que deux et deux font trois
Que Venise est sur la Seine
Sans problème, je te crois
Mais quand tu me dis "je t'aime"
Un peu comme en cinéma
Un peu pour la mise en scène
Sans problème, je te
Croix de bois, croix de fer
Tu irais en enfer
Si jamais tu me mentes
Qu'est-ce que ça peut faire
J'irai en même temps

Tu es tout le contraire de ce que j'attendais
Tu n'as rien pour me plaire et pourtant, tu me plais
Tu n'avais pas prévu que ça pouvait durer
J'y croyais pas non plus, tout le monde peut se tromper

Mais quand tu me dis "je t'aime"
Et que deux et deux font trois
Que Venise est sur la Seine
Sans problème, je te crois
Mais quand tu me dis "je t'aime"
Un peu comme en cinéma
Un peu pour la mise en scène
Sans problème, je te
Croix de bois, croix de fer
Tu irais en enfer
Si jamais tu me mentes
Qu'est-ce que ça peut faire
J'irai en même temps

Tipperary
Composer(s): Leo Curley - Jas. M. Fulton - J. Fred Helf



I'm in love with a slip of a tip-tip-typical Tipperary miss
She's a regular clip with a rosy lip that you'd dearly love to kiss
From the tip of her toes to the tip top of her nose I love her so
I'd like to just take her and squeeze her
I know that it wouldn't displease her
But she lives in Tipperary many miles away from here 
If I could just meet her to see her and greet her
I'm thinkin' I'd eat her the little dear
But she's many miles away from here and so I'll wait I fear
Till I take a notion and sail o'er the ocean to Ireland

Now I'll give ye a tip when I board the ship with me grip to trip away
I'll be there a yell when they ring the bell and I'll shout "hip-hip-hooray" 
Then the whistle will toot and away we'll shoot with a toot toot down the bay
I'll wave a bye-bye when we're sailin' from over the top of the railin' 
Then a cross the briny ocean to the tiny Em'rald Isle 
I'd give me last penny, if I hadn't any, be-gory, or many to see her smile 
As she used to when she sat ferninst me down beside the stile
But I was a rover be-dad and came over from Ireland

Faith it's me that's nearly crazy 
From me Tipperary daisy
All the day me hearts "undaisy" 
Sure the thing I find that's on me mind 
Is the darlin' girl I left behind
Far off in dear old Tipperary

Easy, ready, willing, overtime
Where does it stop, where do you dare me to draw the line?
You've got the body, now you want my soul
Don't even think about it, say no go

I-- I'll do anything that you want me to do
And I'll do almost anything, that you want me too, ooh

But I can't go for that (No can do)
No, I can't go for that (No can do)
Oh, I can't go for that (No can do)
I can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that

I can't go for being twice as nice
I can't go for just repeating the same old lines
Use the body, now you want my soul
Ooh, forget about it, now say no go

I-- I'll do anything that you want me to do
And I'll do almost anything that you want me to do

But I can't go for that (No can do)
No, I can't go for that (No can do)
Oh, I can't go for that (No can do)
I can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that

Oh, I-- I'll do anything that you want me to do
And I'll do almost anything that you want me to do

But I can't go for that (No can do)
No, I can't go for that (No can do)
Oh, I can't go for that (No can do)
I can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that

I can't go for that, can't go for that (No can do)
I can't go, I can't go-- for that (No can do)
Oh, I can't go for that (No can do)
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no can do
Oh, I can't go for that, yeah (No can do)
No, no, no, no, no, no.....

oui peut-être je suis ivre
peut-être
ça me donne envie de vivre
peut-être
ça me fait déformer tout
peut-être
après tout je m'en fou
ça me fait déformer tout
peut-être
et je te cherche partout
peut-être
dans ces jeux que l'on se joue
peut-être
est-ce toi? est-ce nous?
dans des mots et dans des gestes
je te cherche
je t'aime et je déteste
je te cherche
dans ces jeux où l'on se blesse
je te cherche
toi toujours, toi sans cesse
dans des nuits sans lendemain
je te cherche
je suis mal ou je suis bien
je te cherche
je ne trouve presque rien
je te cherche
toi jamais tu ne viens...

A Mother's Love
Composer(s): Cliff Owens
Performer(s): Johnnie Ray & Timi Yuro



Johnnie:
I have seen a rainbow
Circle across the sky

Timi:
I have stood on a mountain
And watched an eagle fly

Johnnie:
I have seen trees in a meadow
Shelter a morning dove

Timi:
But I haven't seen anything
To match the wonder of a mother's love

Johnnie:
I have seen a sunset
More beautiful than gold

Timi:
I have stood by a rosebed
And watched the leaves unfold

Johnnie:
I have seen so many wonders
And blessings from above

Both
But I haven't seen anything
To match the wonder of a mother's love
No I haven't seen anything
To match the wonder of a mother's love

Je T'Attends
Composer(s): Jean-Jacques Goldman
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



À force d'impasses et de fausses routes
À force de s'habituer au pire
À force des mots sans qu'on les écoute
Jusqu'à ne plus même oser les dire

À force de rêver à des sirènes
Et ne pêcher que des pauvres leurres
À force de ne parler qu'aux poubelles
Au petit matin, cassé et tout seul

Je ne sais pas où les anges arrivent
Je me doute que tu n'en es plus un

Je t'attends, je t'attends, je t'attends, je t'attends
Je t'attends, je t'attends, je t'attends, je t'attends
Tout le temps, tout le temps
Tout le temps, chaque instant
Je t'attends, je t'attends, je t'attends
Depuis si longtemps

Je ne sais pas ton âge et ton visage
Brune du nord ou blonde andalouse
Je ne te veux ni futile ni sage
Née pour avancer ou born to lose

Qu'importe si c'est avril ou décembre
Je me fous bien du jour et du mois
Mais je serai prêt, je saurai te prendre
Comme une chance qu'on ne manque pas
Mais si tu savais briser ma dérive
Rendez-vous un de ces quatre matins

(Traditional)
Performer(s): They Might Be Giants



Oh who has heard the great commotion, motion motion
all the country through?
It is the ball a-rolling on
for Tippecanoe and Tyler too
and with him we'll beat Little Van, Van
Van is a used up man
and with him we'll beat Little Van

Sure, let 'em talk about hard cider (cider cider)
and log cabins too
't'will only help to speed the ball 
for Tippecanoe and Tyler too
and with him we'll beat Little Van, Van
Van is a used up man
and with him we'll beat Little Van

Like the rush of mighty waters (waters waters)
onward it will go
And of course we'll bring you through
for Tippecanoe and Tyler too
and with him we'll beat Little Van, Van
Van is a used up man
and with him we'll beat Little Van

I've flown around the world in a plane 
I've settled revolutions in Spain 
And the North Pole I have charted 
Still I can't get started with you 

On the golf course, I'm under par 
Metro Goldwyn have asked me to star 
I've got a house, a showplace 
Still I can't get no place with you 

'Cause you're so supreme 
Lyrics I write of you, I dream 
Dream day and night of you 
And I scheme just for the sight of you 
Baby, what good does it do? 

I've been consulted by Franklin D 
Greta Garbo has had me to tea 
Still I'm broken-hearted 

'Cause I can't get started with you

Mes jours passent, mes nuits pleurent
Et pleure le temps
Ma raison sombre et se meurt
Quand meurt le temps
Ce temps mort que je regrette
Tant et tant
Car sans joie ma vie s'arrête
Et je t'attends

J'attends l'air que je respire
Et le printemps
J'attends mes éclats de rire
Et mes vingt ans
Mes mers calmes et mes tempêtes
En même temps
Car sans joie ma vie s'arrête
Et je t'attends

Je t'attends
Viens ne tarde pas
D'où que tu viennes, qui que tu sois
Viens le temps est court
Je t'attends
Mon rêve inconnu
Quel est ton nom, quel est ton but
Le mien c'est l'amour

Pour que mes jours se transforment
Et que vraiment
Ma vie par toi prenne forme
A chaque instant
Parce que le vide me hante
Avec mon sang
Comme un peintre je t'invente
Et je t'attends

Mes doigts par petites touches
Font tes dents
Avant de croquer ta bouche
Eperdument
Mais ces rêves ne me laissent
Que tourments
Car je traîne ma détresse
Et je t'attends

A moment ago I held you close to me
A moment ago you whispered tenderly
That you'd be my love through all eternity
A moment ago I fell in love

Oh, my baby, baby, hold me tight
Never let me go (never let me go)
And if I'm right we'll share
Heaven, I know (heaven, I know)

Through tears of joy
I thanked the Lord up above
A moment ago He sent me a love
Aaaaaahhhhhh-aaaahhhhh
Aaaaaaahhhhhh-aaaghhhh
Aaaaaahhhhhh-aaaahhhhh...

I Can't Get Offa My Horse
Performer(s): The Korn Kobblers



I always thought that I would be a cowboy
A-ridin' and a-ropin' where the winds are free
But now I wish that I was not a cowboy
'Cause look what's gone and happened to me

Oh, I can't get offa my horse
All day and night I ride among the cattle
I can't get offa my horse
'Cause some dirty dog put glue on the saddle

On the saddle! On the saddle!
Some no good ornery, low down, sneakin', thievin'
Cussin', cattle rustlin', dirty dog 
Put glue on the saddle

Some day they'll bury me out on the prairie
Out there among the sage brush where the skies are blue
But when they dig a hole for me to rest in
They better dig it big enough for two 

Oh, I can't get offa my horse
All day and night I ride among the cattle
I can't get offa my horse
'Cause some dirty dog put glue on the saddle

On the saddle! On the saddle!
Some no good, ornery, low down, sneakin', thievin'
Cussin', cattle rustlin', dirty dog 
Put glue on the saddle

Tipitipitipso
Composer(s): Heinz Gietz - Kurt Feltz
Performer(s): Caterina Valente; Vanessa Neigert



Coco kauft sich, bitte sehr
eines Tages Schießgewehr
weil ein' Mexicano das
macht so großen Spaß
Coco zielt und schießt sogar
Loch in Wand von Billy's Bar
so entsteht ganz nebenbei
schöne Schießerei!
Tipitipitipso
beim Calypso
ist dann alles wieder gut
ja, das ist mexikanisch
Tipitipitipso
beim Calypso
sind dann alle wieder froh
im schönen Mexiko
Coco sieht als kleiner Mann
gern sich große Frauen an
solche, die so schön gebaut
wie Don Pedros Braut
Pedro sieht von Coco das
wirft ihn dann durchs Fensterglas
rein auf Schreibtisch von Kanzlei
bei der Polizei
Tipitipitipso...
Coco liebt von ungefähr
gut gebratenes Beefsteak sehr
kommt ihm eine List
Sonntag fehlt mit einem Mal
großes Pferd in Billy's Stall
Billy geht der Nase nach
und dann gibt es Krach
Tipitipitipso...

I Can't Get Next To You
Composer(s): Norman Whitfield; Barrett Strong
First release by: The Temptations - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists



I can turn your gray sky blue
I could make it rain whenever I wanted to
I can build a castle from a single grain of sand
I can make a ship sail on dry land
But my life is incomplete and I'm so blue
'Cause I can't get next to you
(I can't get next to you)
Next to you, I just can't get next to you)
(I can't get next to you)

I can fly like a bird in the sky
Hey, and I can buy anything that money can buy
I can turn a river into a ragin' fire
I could live forever if I so desired
Unimportant are all these things I can do
'Cause I can't get next to you
No matter what I do

I can turn back the hands of time
You'd better believe I can
I can make the seasons change
Just by a wave of my hand
I can change anything from old to new
The thing I want to do the most, I'm unable to do
Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess
'Cause girl, you're the key to my happiness
And I, wo I...can't get next to you

Girl, you're blowin' my mind 'cause I can't get (next to you)
Can't you see these tears I'm cryin'? I can't get (next to you)
Girl, it's you that I need; I gotta get (next to you)
Can't you see these tears I'm cryin'?...
