Today while the blossom still clings to the vine I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine A million tomorrows shall all pass away Ere I forget all the joys that are mine today
I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover You'll know who I am by the song that I sing I'll feast at your table, I'll lie in your clover I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing
Today while the blossom still clings to the vine I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine A million tomorrows shall all pass away Ere I forget all the joys that are mine today
I can't be contented with yesterday's glories I can't live on promises winter to spring This is my moment and now is my story Who cares what tomorrow will bring
Today while the blossom still clings to the vine I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine A million tomorrows shall all pass away Ere I forget all the joys that are mine today
Jesus Christ is ris'n today Alleluia! Our triumphant holy day Alleluia! Who died once upon the Cross Alleluia! Suffer'd to redeem our loss Alleluia!
Hymns of praise then let us sing Alleluia! Unto Christ, our heav'nly King Alleluia! Who endured the Cross and grave Alleluia! Sinners to redeem and save Alleluia
Today Composer(s): Marty Balin - Paul Kantner First release by: Jefferson Airplane - 1967
Today I feel like pleasing you more than before Today I know what I want to do but I don't know what for To be living for you is all I want to do To be loving you it'll all be there when my dreams come true Today you'll make me say that I somehow have changed Today you'll look into my eyes, I'm just not the same To be anymore than all I am would be a lie I'm so full of love I could burst apart and start to cry Today everything you want, I swear it all will come true Today I realize how much I'm in love with you With you standing here I could tell the world what it means to love To go on from here I can't use words, they don't say enought Please, please listen to me It's taken so long to come true And it's all for you all for you...
Todas las chicas me gustan No encuentro ninguna fea Aunque mis ojos las vean Mi corazón hace pom, pom, pom, pom Todas las chicas me gustan Por una cosa o por veinte Cuando mi amor las presiente Mi corazón hace pom, pom, pom, pom Marisa, tu risa Consuelo, tu pelo Milagros, tus labios Leonor, tu amor Todas las chicas me gustan Pero tu más que ninguna Cuando a la luz de la luna Hablamos de amor tú y yo
I Don't Wanna Play House Composer(s): Billy Sherrill; Glenn Sutton Performer(s): Tammy Wynette and multiple other artists
Today I sat alone at the window And I watched our little girl outside at play With the little boy next door like so many times before But something didn't seem quite right today
So I went outside to see what they were doing And then the teardrops made my eyes grow dim 'Cause I heard him name a game and I hung my head in shame When I heard our little girl say to him
I Don't Want to Play House I know it can't be fun I've watched mommy and daddy And if that's the way it's done I Don't Want to Play House It makes my mommy cry 'Cause when she played house My daddy said goodbye
I Don't Want to Play House I know it can't be fun I've watched mommy and daddy And if that's the way it's done I Don't Want to Play House It makes my mommy cry 'Cause when she played house My daddy said goodbye
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
Toco Madera Composer(s): Roberto Livi - Alberto Campoy First release by: Raphael - 1988 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)
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
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

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
