Tonton Nestor Composer(s): Georges Brassens Performer(s): Georges Brassens
Tonton Nestor Vous eûtes tort Je vous le dis tout net Vous avez mis La zizanie Aux noces de Jeannett' Je vous l'avoue Tonton, vous vous Comportâtes comme un Mufle achevé Rustre fieffé Un homme du commun
Quand la fiancée Les yeux baissés Des larmes pleins les cils S'apprêtait à Dire "Oui da !" A l'officier civil Qu'est-c'qui vous prit Vieux malappris D'aller, sans retenue Faire un pinçon Cruel en son Eminence charnue
Se retournant Incontinent Ell' souffleta, flic-flac L'garçon d'honneur Qui, par bonheur Avait un' tête à claqu' Mais au lieu du "Oui" attendu Ell' s'écria: "Maman" Et l'mair' lui dit "Non, mon petit Ce n'est pas le moment"
Quand la fiancée Les yeux baissés D'une voix solennell' S'apprêtait à Dire "Oui da !" Par-devant l'Eternel Voila mechef Que, derechef Vous osâtes porter Votre fichue Patte crochue Sur sa rotondité
Se retournant Incontinent Elle moucha le nez D'un enfant d'chur Qui, par bonheur Etait enchifrené Mais au lieu du "Oui" attendu De sa pauvre voix lass' Au tonsuré Désemparé Elle a dit "Merde", hélas
Quoiqu'elle usât Qu'elle abusât Du droit d'être fessue En la pinçant Mauvais plaisant Vous nous avez déçus Aussi, ma foi La prochain' fois Qu'on mariera Jeannett' On s'pass'ra d'vous Tonton, je vous Je vous le dit tout net

Too-oo-oo-nite, tonite while I'm holding you so near (holding you so near) Tonite, tonite what I'd give if I could hear Those three little words that would thrill the heart of me (thrill the heart of me) Just whisper (shhh whisper) "I love you" and will eternally

While looking up above I-I wished upon a star And prayed for a blessing from ab-o-o-o-ove Well, if my wish should come true until our life is through I'll have you near to have, to hold and to love
Well, tonite, tonite may it never reach an end (never reach an end) I'll mi-i-iss you so till you're in my arms again With all of my heart I declare with all my might (declare with all my might) I'll love you forever as I lo-o-o-ve you tonite

I Hear Trumpets Blow Composer(s): Mitch Margo; Hank Medress; Jay Siegel Performer(s): The Tokens and multiple other artists
Fanfare
I am not of royalty I'm an ordinary guy From a little family And the riches pass us by No red carpets on the floor Nothing fancy I can show But when we all stand together I hear trumpets blow
Fanfare
Oh there is a fair young maiden I love her and she loves me She is kind and understanding Filled with personality And the people closest to me All respect and love her so When I see how much they take to her I hear trumpets blow
Fanfare
Oh it really does amaze me All the happiness I feel And with every passing day I find I can't believe it's real So I pray that it will last At least a hundred years or so And I know it's not impossible When I hear trumpets blow
Joyride Composer(s): Ray Wylie Hubbard Performer(s): Ray Wylie Hubbard
Y' understand I was not lookin' whereby to fall in love I'd come downtown to check out a band
at The Continental Club A Mamie Van Doren-lookin' woman come in the door She was untamed youth rebellion and truth and so much more I don't know if she had seen the light, she seemed at home in the dark Her eyes met mine and it was like the time they split the atom apart
She could have had any biker in the bar but she come up to me She said "You're done sleeping around, from now on you're with me"
Y' understand I did not know if this was my last or my lucky day She said "You wanna go for a joy ride or you wanna stay here and pray" I thought about my choices and I guess I could have said no But it was just a band I'd come to see, so I mumbled "Let's go" She had an old Camaro--naugahyde tuck and roll She said "You can't live down in Texas if you don't have a lot of soul"
The stereo was blasting "Mendocino" by Doug Sahm She said "Fasten your seatbelt, you're with me from now on"
Understand I was not sleeping at the next day's sunrise Me and this joy ride angel were up all night it's no surprise When we got to her house she said "Go on and take off your shoes I don't smoke afterwards I prefer to listen to blues" "I know you're an old roots rocker and that's a compliment When she said "Do you want to hear some Slim Harpo," I knew she was heaven sent
In her fine presence is where I want to be I'm done sleeping around, from now on she's with me...
Tonight's The Night Composer(s): Neil Young First release: Neil Young - 1975 Covered by multiple other artists
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night Tonight's the night, tonight's the night Tonight's the night, tonight's the night Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Bruce Berry was a working man He used to load that Econoline van A sparkle was in his eye But his life was in his hands
Well, late at night when the people were gone He used to pick up my guitar And sing a song in a shaky voice That was real as the day was long
Tonight's the night, yes it is, tonight's the night Tonight's the night, yes it is, tonight's the night
Early in the mornin' at the break of day He used to sleep until the afternoon If you never heard him sing I guess you won't too soon
'Cause people let me tell you It sent a chill up and down my spine When I picked up the telephone And heard that he'd died out on the mainline
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Bruce Berry was a working man He used to load that Econoline van Well, early in the morning at just about the break of day He used to sleep until the afternoon
Tonight's the night, yes it is, tonight's the night Tonight's the night, tonight's the night Tonight's the night, tonight's the night Tonight's the night, tonight's the night

You've given me a true love and every day I thank you love For a feeling that's so new So inviting, so exciting

Then suddenly, I hear a symphony Ooh, your lips are touching mine A feeling so divine 'Till I leave the past behind I'm lost in a world Made for you and me
Whenever you're near I hear a symphony Play sweet and tenderly Every time your lips meet mine now baby
Baby, baby You bring much joy within Don't let this feeling end Let it go on and on and on Now baby, baby Those tears that seem my eyes I cry not for myself But for those who never felt the joy we felt
Whenever you're near I hear a symphony Each time you speak to me I hear a tender rap so dy of love now
Baby, baby As you stand holding me Whispering how much you care A thousand violins fill the air
Now baby, baby Don't let this moment end Keep standing close to me Ooh, so close to me, baby, baby Baby, baby I hear a symphony A tender melody

Vannacht bekende ik mijn liefde voor jou Gewoon omdat ik zoveel van je hou
Vannacht, niemand kan ons vinden Ver weg van alle vrienden En ik beminde jou

Vannacht was ik in hoger sferen En stierf wel duizend keren Want ik beminde jou, vannacht
Vannacht bekende ik mijn liefde voor jou Het was middernacht, toch voelde ik de ochtend al Vannacht kwam jij voor 't eerst in mijn leven Wat kan er mooier zijn dan dicht bij jou te zijn
Vannacht
Vannacht bekende ik mijn liefde voor jou En zie hoeveel ik nu van je hou
Vannacht. Eerst waren wij nog vrienden Nu zijn we twee beminden En ik beminde jou

Vannacht bekende ik mijn liefde voor jou, vannacht

Jovens Tardes De Domingo Composer(s): Roberto Carlos; Erasmo Carlos Performer(s): Roberto Carlos
Eu me lembro com saudade o tempo que passou O tempo passa tão depressa mas em mim deixou
Jovens tardes de domingo Tantas alegrias Velhos tempos, belos dias
Canções usavam formas simples pra falar de amor Carrões e gente numa festa de sorriso e cor
Hoje os meus domingos são doces recordações Daquelas tardes de guitarras Sonhos e emoções O que foi felicidade me mata agora de saudade Velhos tempos, belos dias
Vejam só que festa de arromba Outro dia eu fui parar Vinha voando no meu carro Quando vi pela frente Na beira da calçada Um broto displicente
They say that you will never settle down They say that you just have to run around But they don't realize you're in for a big surprise Tonight you're gonna fall in love with me
I'm gonna treat you like you're a king (you're a king) To win your lovin' I'll do anything (anything) I'm gonna treat you fine, I'm gonna make you mine Tonight you're gonna fall in love with me
All the girls are after you, it really shows (that you know) But tonight I'll hold you tight & you will be (he will be) In love with me (in love with me)
Before you know it, you will be my guy (be my guy) My friends will turn their heads when we walk by (we walk by) One kiss will be the start, one kiss will win your heart
(repeat): Tonight you're gonna fall in love with me...
