Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take The Garbage Out
Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take The Garbage Out Composer(s): Shel Silverstein Performer(s): Shel Silverstein
Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would not take the garbage out! She'd scour the pots and scrape the pans Candy the yams and spice the hams And though her daddy would scream and shout She simply would not take the garbage out And so it piled up to the ceilings Coffee grounds, potato peelings Brown bananas, rotten peas Chunks of sour cottage cheese It filled the can, it covered the floor It cracked the window and blocked the door With bacon rinds and chicken bones Drippy ends of ice cream cones Prune pits, peach pits, orange peel Gloopy glumps of cold oatmeal Pizza crusts and withered greens Soggy beans and tangerines Crusts of black burned buttered toast Gristly bits of beefy roasts... The garbage rolled on down the hall It raised the roof, it broke the wall... Greasy napkins, cookie crumbs Globs of gooey bubble gum Cellophane from green baloney Rubbery blubbery macaroni Peanut butter, caked and dry Curdled milk and crusts of pie Moldy melons, dried-up mustard Eggshells mixed with lemon custard Cold French fries and rancid meat Yellow lumps of Cream of Wheat At last the garbage reached so high That finally it touched the sky And all the neighbors moved away And none of her friends would come to play And finally Sarah Cynthia Stout said "OK, I'll take the garbage out!" But then, of course, it was too late... The garbage reached across the state From New York to the Golden Gate And there, in the garbage she did hate Poor Sarah met an awful fate That I cannot right now relate Because the hour is much too late But children, remember Sarah Stout And always take the garbage out!

Merry Christmas To Me
Composer(s): Alan Jackson
Performer(s): Alan Jackson; Swoon 23
Today I took some paper from the closet And wrapped the wedding ring you left behind And I addressed it to the man who vowed to love you And on a little card I wrote these words inside
Merry Christmas to me Just one gift beneath my tree For the fool who let you leave Merry Christmas to me
Then I sat down in my chair and thought about you About the many reasons why you're gone And I opened up the present that I gave to me And realized how much it hurts to be alone
Merry Christmas to me Just one gift beneath my tree For the fool who let you leave Merry Christmas to me
I'm the fool who let you leave Merry Christmas to me
Sarah Composer(s): Georges Moustaki First release by: Georges Moustaki - 1974
La femme qui est dans mon lit N'a plus vingt ans depuis longtemps Les yeux cernés Par les années Par les amours Au jour le jour La bouche usée Par les baisers Trop souvent mais Trop mal donnés Le teint blafard Malgré le fard Plus pâle qu'une Tache de lune
La femme qui est dans mon lit N'a plus vingt ans depuis longtemps Les seins trop lourds De trop d'amours Ne portent pas Le nom d'appâts Le corps lassé Trop caressé Trop souvent mais Trop mal aimé Le dos voûté Semble porter Les souvenirs Qu'elle a dû fuir
La femme qui est dans mon lit N'a plus vingt ans depuis longtemps Ne riez pas N'y touchez pas Gardez vos larmes Et vos sarcasmes Lorsque la nuit Nous réunit Son corps, ses mains S'offrent aux miens Et c'est son cur Couvert de pleurs Et de blessures Qui me rassure
Merry Christmas Strait To You Composer(s): Bob Kelly Performer(s): George Strait
It's Christmas time I see the lines of people everywhere Tryin' to pick out the gifts That show how much they care It makes me wish that I could see my friends On Christmas Day And fill my list with lots of gifts But I can only say
Here comes a merry Christmas strait to you I hope it cheers you up when you are down and feelin' blue Right or wrong I'll sing my song And you will know just who Sings a merry Christmas strait to you
There's lot of ways to share the days Of Christmas with your friends A Christmas card, a tree that stars And gifts that make you grin I'd like to share this song with everyone who came our way Without a doubt the fires not out It burns for you today
Here comes a merry Chritmas strait to you I hope it cheers you up when you are down and feelin' blue Right or wrong I'll sing my song And you will know just who Sings a merry Christmas strait to you
Here comes a merry Christmas and to all who might of missed us A very merry Christmas strait to you

Dans la boutique du tailleur Tes vieux parents, tes frères, tes surs Nous avons tant de peine au cur Sarah, Sarah reviens vers nous Mamie ne cesse de pleurer Sa grande enfant, son adorée Tu fus toujours sa préférée Sarah, Sarah reviens vers nous

Dans la boutique du tailleur Tes vieux parents, tes frères, tes surs Retrouveront l'ancien bonheur Sarah, Sarah si tu reviens Quand attablés les soirs d'hiver Lorsqu'un à un Mamie nous sert Nous sentons qu'il manque un couvert Sarah, Sarah que c'est le tien
On lit tes lettres d'Amérique T'as fait un parti magnifique Alors tes sentiments s'expliquent Tu veux oublier d'où tu viens Hélène aura bientôt vingt ans Elle s'en ira peut-être avant On ne vit pas pour ses parents Sarah, Sarah je le sais bien
Sois donc heureuse et sans regret Mais ne nous oublie tout à fait Tu as la vie dont tu rêvais Sarah, Sarah tant pis pour nous
Merry Christmas Santa
Composer(s): Jim Ware; W. Christy
Performer(s): Hap Palmer
Santa goes around making Christmas
For little boys and girls everywhere
You can feel him in your heart
When it's late at night
And Christmas eve is here
But Santa While you're out there
All alone in your sleigh
I hope that you can hear me
Tonight when I say
Merry Christmas Santa
Here's my Christmas wish for you
I just want to thank you
For everything you do
And while you're out there giving
It's time that you receive
So Merry Christmas Santa
Merry Christmas to you from me
Santa is the one that you write to
To tell him what you want Christmas day
What a thrill it is to know
That the season's here
And Santa's on his way
But Santa while you're making
Christmas wishes all come true
I felt that you might like it
If someone said to you
Merry Christmas Santa
Here's my Christmas wish for you
I just want to thank you
For everything you do
And while you're out there giving
It's time that you receive
So Merry Christmas Santa
Merry Christmas to you from me

Sarà Perché Ti Amo (French Version: Les Nouveaux Romantiques - 1981) Composer(s): Dario Farina; Daniele Pace; Pupo First release by: Ricchi E Poveri - 1981
Che confusione sarà perché ti amo e un'emozione che cresce piano piano stringimi forte e stammi più vicino se ci sto bene sarà perché ti amo
Io canto al ritmo del dolce tuo respiro e primavera sarà perché ti amo Cade una stella ma dimmi dove siamo che te ne frega sarà perché ti amo
E vola vola si sa sempre più in alto si va e vola vola con me il mondo e matto perché e se l'amore non c'è basta una sola canzone per far confusione fuori e dentro di te E vola vola si va sempre più in alto si va ...
Ma dopo tutto che cosa c'e di strano e una canzone sarà perché ti amo se cade il mondo allora ci spostiamo se cade il mondo sarà perché ti amo Stringimi forte e stammi più vicino e cosi bello che non mi casa c'e di strano matto per matto almeno noi ci amiamo
E vola vola si sa sempre più in alto si va ...
E vola vola si va sarà perché ti amo e vola vola con me e stammi più vicino e se l'amore non c'e ma dimmi dove siamo che confusione sarà perché ti amo

Merry Christmas Everybody

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
It's the time that every Santa has a ball
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer?
Does a 'ton up' on his sleigh
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
Are you sure you got the room to spare inside?
Does your granny always tell ya that the old songs are the best?
Then she's up and rock 'n' rollin' with the rest
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
What will your daddy do
When he sees your Mama kissin' Santa Claus?
Ah ah
Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall?
Do you ride on down the hillside in a buggy you have made?
When you land upon your head then you've been slayed
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun

Go now, don't look back, we've drawn the line Move on, it's no good to go back in time
I'll never find another girl like you, for happy endings it takes two We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes
Danger in the game when the stakes are high Branded, my heart was branded while my senses stood by
I'll never find another girl like you, for happy endings it takes two We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, oh Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes
('Cos Sara) Loved me like no one has ever loved me before (And Sara) Hurt me, no one could ever hurt me more (And Sara) Sara, nobody loved me anymore
I'll never find another girl like you We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, oh
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, no Ooh Sara, why did it, why did it, why did it all fall apart...
