Smile And Show Your Dimple
((aka Easter Parade (Marilyn Miller and Clifton Webb - 1933/Leo Reisman and His Orch. - 1933))
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
First release by: Samuel Ash - 1918
Covered by multiple other artists



Little girlie, you look sad
I'm afraid you're feeling bad
Because he's leaving
But stop your grieving, little girl
He don't want you to feel blue
For it's not the thing to do
It will soon be over
Then he'll come marching back to you

Smile and show your dimple
You'll find it's very simple
You can think of something comical
In a very little while
Chase away the wrinkle
Sprinkle just a twinkle
Light your face up
Just brace up and smile

Little girlie, don't you know
That your pearly teeth will show
If you start smiling
So keep on smiling, little girl
You can cut your cares in half
If you only try to laugh
Look into my cam'ra
I'm goin' to take your photograph

I Don't Want To Play
Composer(s): Ellen McIlWaine
Performer(s): Ellen McIlWaine



Now all I want is a real live human being
Who knows he's a man and doesn't have to hesitate
Got no reason to try to make me feel second rate
He don't have to be good looking or smart
And just has to have a good kind honest heart
You know I haven't seen too much of that of late

I don't want to play
I'm gonna take my toys and go away
I don't want to play
I'm gonna take my house and move away

Now Madison avenue puts in a word or two
And tells you to go on out and pick up yourself a few
Could be the dog or the neighborhood ding-a-ling
Well you take them all home and try 'em all on for size
Even put peanut butter into they're eyes
And wiggle and giggle every possible thing

I don't want to play
I'm gonna take my toys and go away
I don't want to play
I'm gonna take my house and move away

Now whatever happened to good old fashion
Love and romance and two by two fashion
You know I haven't seen too much of that of late
But all I need is a real live human being
Knows he's a man and doesn't have to hesitate
Got no reason to try to make me feel second rate

I don't want to play
I'm gonna take my toys and go away
I don't want to play
I'm gonna take my house and move away

I don't want to play
I'm gonna take my toys and go away
I don't want to play
I'm gonna take my house and move away

Oh, kleine Jessi Jessi Jessi Jessica
Waar is je pa

Met haar bloemen staat zij op 't plein
Geen boeketje kan mooier zijn
Alle jongens kennen haar naam
De mooiste roos van het bloemenkraam

Het zonneschijntje van 't hele pleintje
De mooiste bloem is voor geen geld te koop
Tussen de rozen staat zij te blozen
Zij geeft geen jawoord en ze geeft geen hoop

Bij de margrietjes, vergeet-me-nietjes
Staat er een bloem die nooit verwelken kan
Wij mogen smeken, haar ogen spreken
Zij brengt alleen haar bloemen aan de man

Oh, kleine Jessi Jessi Jessi Jessica
Waar is je pa

Rode rozen staan om haar heen
Rode lippen die zeggen 'neen'
Alle dagen vragen we 't weer
Wij kopen bloemen altijd maar weer

Het zonneschijntje van 't hele pleintje
De mooiste bloem is voor geen geld te koop
Tussen de rozen staat zij te blozen
Zij geeft geen jawoord en ze geeft geen hoop

Bij de margrietjes, vergeet-me-nietjes
Staat er een bloem die nooit verwelken kan
Wij mogen smeken, haar ogen spreken
Zij brengt alleen haar bloemen aan de man

Het zonneschijntje van 't hele pleintje
De mooiste bloem is voor geen geld te koop
Tussen de rozen staat zij te blozen
Zij geeft geen jawoord en ze geeft geen hoop

Bij de margrietjes, vergeet-me-nietjes
Staat er een bloem die nooit verwelken kan

Covered by multiple other artists



Han venido a contarme
Que has vuelto a aparecer
Y quieres verme
Que estás arrepentida
Y has cambiado de vida
Que por pensar en mí casi ni duermes
Pero ya no te creo
Ese mismo bolero
Lo escuché tantas veces
Y cuando dije sí
Después me arrepentí
Y lo pagué con creces
Toco madera
No vuelvo junto a ti por más que quieras
Porque el quererte
Te juro que me ha dado mala suerte
Toco madera
No quiero tu cariño aunque me muera
Y por mi parte
Me vale más perderte que encontrarte
No insistas no me engañas
El zorro pierde el pelo
Nunca las mañas
No digas que has cambiado
Que te has encaminado
Porque lo sé muy bien son artimañas
Pero ya no te creo
Ese mismo bolero
Lo escuché tantas veces
Y cuando dije sí
Después me arrepentí
Y lo pagué con creces

I Don't Want To Make History (I Just Want To Make Love)
Composer(s): Ralph Rainger; Leo Robin
Performer(s): Frances Langford
and multiple other artists



Columbus took a chance
And I would take a chance
As long as there's a moon up above
But I don't want to make history
I just want to make love

Napoleon took a chance
But when I think of France
It's Josephine that I'm thinking of
Cause I don't want to make history
I just want to make love

We all can't be heroes
We all can't be great
Right now I'll settle for a love affair
And the dickens with affairs of state

I hear a call to arms
But sentimental arms
My banner is the moon up above
For I don't want to make history
I just want to make love

Jesse James (aka The Ballad Of Jesse James)
Composer(s): Billy Gashade - Traditional
Performer(s): Woody Guthrie
and multiple other artists



Jesse James was a lad that killed many a man
He robbed the Danville train
He stole from the rich and he gave to the poor
He'd a hand, a heart, and a brain

Jesse was a man, a friend to the poor
He couldn't see a brother suffer pain
And with his brother Frank he robbed the Springfield bank
And he stopped the Glendale train

Poor Jesse had a wife, a lady all her life
And three children, they were so brave
But that dirty lettle coward that shot Mr. Joward
Has laid ol' Jesse James in his grave

It was Robert Ford, the dirty little coward
And I wonder how he feels
For he slept in Jesse's bed and he ate o' Jesse's bread
But he laid Jesse James in his grave

It was with his brother Frank that he robbed the Gallatin Bank
An' carried the money from the town
It was at that very place that they had a little chase
For they shot ol' Captain Sheets to the ground

Poor Jesse had a wife to morn for his life
And three children, they were so brave
But that dirty lettle coward that shot Mr. Joward
Has laid ol' Jesse James in his grave

They went to a crossing, not very far from there
And there they did the same
For the agent on his knees delivered up the keys
To the outlaws, Frank an' Jesse James

It was on a Wednesday night, not a star was in sight
When they robbed the Glendale train
Those people, they did say for many miles away
It was robbed by Frank an' Jesse James

Poor Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life
And three children, they were so brave
But that dirty lettle coward that shot Mr. Joward
Has laid ol' Jesse James in his grave

Then on a Saturday night, Jesse was at home
Just talking with his family brave
When Robert Ford came along like a thief in the night
And laid poor Jesse in his grave

Now, the people held their breath when they heard of Jesse's death
They wondered how he came to die
It was one of his own gang called little Robert Ford
An' he shot Jesse James on the sly

Poor Jesse had a wife who mourned for his life
And three children, they were so brave
But that dirty lettle coward that shot Mr. Joward
Has laid ol' Jesse James in his grave

Jesse went to his rest with his hand upon his breast
And there are many who never saw his face
He was born one day in the County of Clay
And he came from a solitary race

This song was made by Billy Gashade
As soon as the news did arrive
He said there's no one man with the law in his hand
Could ever take ol' Jesse James alive

Poor Jesse had a wife to mourn his life
An' his children too, they were brave
But that dirty little coward shot Mr. Howard
An' laid Jesse James in his grave

Oh, they laid poor Jesse in his grave, yes, Lord
They laid Jesse James in his grave
Oh, he took from the rich and he gave to the poor
But, they laid Jesse James in his grave

Toch Ben Je Oma
Performer(s): Louis Neefs



Jij hebt toch nog altijd dat mondaine in je tred
Jij bent 's morgensvroeg altijd het eerste uit ons bed
En jij zingt nog steeds hetzelfde lied aan 't ontbijt
En jij bent die zwieper uit je heupen nog niet kwijt
Jij draagt nog japonnen met een tikje olala
Af en toe, dan loopt een vreemde man jou nog 's na
Kijk, dat zijn toch dingen die belangrijk zijn voor jou
Nee, jij staat nog lang niet in de kou

Toch ben je 'n oma, een echte oma
Zo'n oma waar ik trots op ben
M'n kloek, m'n goed gebouwde hen
Toch ben je 'n oma, een echte oma
Met al een kleinzoon van een jaar
En opa in de twijfelaar

Als ik jou zie lopen in bikini, werk'lijk waar
Denk ik wel 's: 'Ach, misschien is dit het laatste jaar'
Maar dat denk ik nu al zoveel zomers op een rij
Door een hapje minder ben j'r ieder jaar weer bij
Met je strakke rokken en wat duurder ondergoed
Zit toch alles nog precies zoals het zitten moet
Kijk, dat zijn toch dingen die belangrijk zijn voor jou
Nee, jij staat nog lang niet in de kou

Toch ben je 'n oma, een echte oma
Zo'n oma waar ik trots op ben
M'n kloek, m'n goed gebouwde hen
Toch ben je 'n oma, een echte oma
Met al een kleinzoon van een jaar
En opa in de twijfelaar

Jij hebt toch nog altijd zo dat hippe in je stiel
Jij laat je nog pakken door de tandarts, voor tien mille
Hier een kroontje, daar een brug, hij maakt jouw bekkie pas
Jij vindt alles beter dan jouw tandjes in het glas
Af en toe wil jij nog wel een keertje op de toer
Zomaar voor een aardigheidje, nee geen grand amour
Kijk, dat zijn toch dingen die belangrijk zijn voor jou
Nee, jij staat nog lang niet in de kou

Toch ben je 'n oma, een echte oma
Zo'n oma waar ik trots op ben
M'n kloek, m'n goed gebouwde hen
Toch ben je 'n oma, een echte oma
Met al een kleinzoon van een jaar
En opa in de twijfelaar

I Don't Want To Know
Composer(s): Chris White
Performer(s): The Zombies



If you can't find better things to do
Than tell me stories about her that you think are true
I don't wanna hear anything about her that's bad
I don't wanna hear anything that makes me sad
I don't want to know (I don't want to know)
I don't want to know (I don't want to know)
I don't want to know; you'd better turn around and go
I don't want to know

I don't wanna listen; I'm not gonna hear you
I believe what I want, no matter what you do
I believe what I want, no matter what you do
I believe what I want, no matter what you do

I don't care, don't want another word of anything you say
I don't wanna hear anything; you just keep away
I don't want to know (I don't want to know)
I don't want to know (I don't want to know)
I don't want to know; you'd better turn around and go
I don't want to know

and various other artists



Jesse, come home, there's a hole in the bed
Where we slept, now it's growing cold
Jesse, your face and the place where we lay
By the hearth, all apart, it hangs on my heart
And I'm leaving the light on the stairs
No, I'm not scared -- I wait for you
Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home

Jesse, the stairs and the hall, recalling
Your step, and I remember too
All the pictures are shaded and fading in gray
And I still set a place at the table at noon
And I'm leaving the light on the stairs
No, I'm not scared -- I wait for you
Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home

Jesse, the spread on the bed, it's like
When you left, I kept it for you
All the blues and the greens have been recently cleaned
And are seemingly new -- Hey Jess, me and you
Will swallow the light on the stairs
I'll fix up my hair, we'll sleep unaware
Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home

Tocando Fondo
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez 
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Tocando fondo
Tocando fondo nací un buen día
tocando fondo ando todavía
Menos hermosos que como fuera
menos odioso que de otra manera

Me declaro imperfecto
pateando la sombrilla
Prefiero ser abierto
a pasearme anunciando
que soy la maravilla

Me publico completo
me detesto probable
Si uno no se desnuda
se transfigura en reto
todo lo desnudable

Tocando fondo, como ir cantando
es algo hondo, que no anda esperando
No tocar duro nuestras verdades
levantando muros, pudre capitales

Quizás sea inoportuno
o acaso delirante
Soy de tantas maneras
como gente pretenda
nomás calificarme

Asumirse los fueros
es no dictaminarse
Me publico completo
me espero mejorable
desde mi parlamento
de guitarra sonante

Tocando fondo nací un buen día
tocando fondo ando todavía

I was born in a trunk
My mama died and my daddy got drunk
And they left me to die or grow
Up in the middle of Tobacco Road

I grew up in a rusty shack
All I owned was a hangin' on my bony back
Only Lord knows how I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road

But it's home
The only life I ever, ever know
Yeah, but the Lord knows how I loathe
Tobacco Road

Gonna leave it, get me a job

With the help and the grace of God, no matter
Save my money, get rich I know
Bring it back to Tobacco Road

Bring dynamite and a crane
I'm gonna blow it up and start all over again
I'm gonna build a town be proud to show
Keep the name Tobacco Road

I know that it's getting late
but I don't want to go home
I am in no hurry baby time can wait

Listen to the man sing his song
I don't want to go home
I don't mind baby to stay all night long
'cause I don't want to go home

Listen baby

I know we had to try
to reach up and touch the sky baby
what ever happened to you and I
that I don't want to go home

Look at all the people staying
Saying I don't want to go home
In the night .....
I don't want to go home
I know the words to the song I feel
I don't want to go home
I know it's talking about the way I feel
I don't want to go home

Listen baby

I know we had to try
to reach up and touch the sky baby
what ever happened to you and I
that I don't want to go home

I want to hear people laughing and having a good time
I want to know why she told me she had to go
Why did she leave me lonely

I know it's time to go
but I don't want to go home
You don't play the blues soft and low
'cause I don't want to go home

Listen baby

I know we had to try
to reach up and touch the sky baby
what ever happened to you and I
that I don't want to go home

Oh Mama say a prayer for me
Jesse's back in town, it won't be easy
Don't let him near me, don't let him touch me
Don't let him seize me

Jesse, I won't cut fresh flowers for you
No Jesse, and I won't make the wine cold for you
No Jesse, I won't change the sheets for you

Just to see me fall

How can anyone know what you are to me
That I'm in heaven again
Because you've come back to me
Ooooh, Jesse

Jesse, I'll always cut fresh flowers for you
And Jesse, I'll always make the wine cold for you
Oh Jesse, I can easily change my mind about you
And put on cologne and sit by the phone for you
Oh yeah

Jesse, lets open the wine
And drink to the heart
Which has a will of it's own
My friends (My friends)
It's tough for them
They're feeling bad
They think I've sunk so low

Jesse, I'll always cut fresh flowers for you
And Jesse, I will make the wine cold for you 
Oh Jesse, I will change the sheets for you
And put on cologne and I will wait by the phone for you

Toad In The Hole
Performer(s): Ian Anderson



I walk along the strand
to catch the late ride home
Shuttle through the evening gloom
knowing I forgot to phone
The back door's open
There's a chill blowing in
Take your warm hands off me
Let the night begin
Shush your mouth
Listen to me
I won't say nothing 
Just let me be your
Toad in the Hole
Kicking through the wet leaves lying
all along the station road
Past tired graffitti wailing
raw emotion to unload
There's coal in the fireplace
and money in the bank too
Deep-pile carpets, tinsel wallpaper
Still got the back room to do
Don't be late
Got a day's work behind me
Feel a little devastated
but my nights are assigned to you
No tom-cat creeping, now
could ever be so bold
to hang around our place tonight
when I come in from the cold
There's a straight-six in the garage
and some fine wine to cool
Labour-savers in the kitchen
room in the garden for a pool
Shush your mouth
Let imagination run
here in bed-sit heaven
where all the best wishing's done
to warm Toad in the Hole

Composer(s): Carl Perkins
Performer(s): Carl Perkins



Move on over closer to me baby
For I can see that wantin’ in your eyes
Oh, I think it’s only fair that I should warn you
That you probably only stay for just a while

Oh, we’ll just let our bodies do the talking
 ‘ Cause words can only get in the way
Oh, I’ll take you home and love you like you never been
But I don’t wanna fall in love again

I’ve been watching you girl from the corner
And you looked as lonesome as I ever been
Now, nothing could be wrong if you just come along with me
And wake up in the morning, as friends

I don’t wanna hurt you, ‘cause I know girl
What promises of love can do to you
Oh, but I’ll take you home and love you like you never been
But I don’t want to fall in love again

For love I might not need
Let me feel your poor lips touching me
We’ll just let our bodies do the talking
‘Cause words can only get in the way

Oh, I’ll take you home and love you like you never been
But I don’t want to fall in love
And I ain’t gonna fall in love
I don’t want to fall in love again
(I don’t want to fall in love again)

Jerusalén Año Cero
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



De mano en mano se pasa la verdad
y en cada mano olvidará
algo de cierto y también se llevará
de cada mano el parecer
Si camináramos calendario atrás
todo estaría al revés

Algunos dicen que es falso
y otros repiten que es cierto
que entró en Jerusalén siendo de día
se dice que su túnica era blanca
que iba posada en sus ojos
un ave del mediodía

Aquel fue tiempo de tumbas
aquel fue tiempo de flautas
de mercaderes, de Legión Romana
Se dice que la chusma lo seguía
que en su palabra sencilla
se lavaba la mañana

El Rey de los judíos
el hijo de los hombres
El Cristo, El Nazareno
lo llamaban

Jerusalén año cero y se cambió
la suerte con lo que pasó
Jerusalén, año cero y Nazaret
y el caserío de Belén
Jerusalén año cero fue el lugar
donde ocurrió, o donde no

Fue enemigo del Imperio
y amigo de la palabra
decía que todo era para todos
se dice que enseñaba a los pastores
a compartir las ovejas
y a cuidarse de los lobos

Tanta enseñanza hizo ruido
en el poder de los templos
y en la madera lo clavaron recio
Se dijo que por mago o hechicero
pero si la historia es cierta
fue porque hiciera silencio

El Rey de los judíos
el hijo de los hombres
El Cristo, El Nazareno
lo llamaban

I know an angel on the east side of Heaven
Who lives in a first storey room
We meet on a rooftop and dream in the dark
When the lights of New York are in bloom

All through the daytime it's the same old Manhattan
But evening again sets me free
Then I turn off Broadway to the east side of heaven
Where an angel waits for me

All through the daytime it's the same old Manhattan
But evening again sets me free
Then I turn off Broadway to the east side of Heaven
Where an angel waits for me
