Härliga Sommardag
Composer(s): Håkan Elmquist
First performance by: Family Four - 1972



Morgonsol glittrar i viken
Dagen gryr, sista gång blinkar Hanö fyr
Ser du vår segelbåt? Hör du musiken?
När vi styr mot ett nytt äventyr

Nynna en sång, tralla en trall
Gnola en låt som minner om sommar
Känn hur det doftar ifrån salta hav
När vi nynnar en sång, trallar en trall
Gnolar en låt som minner om sommar
Sjung om en härlig sommardag

Vind från öst
Rykande vågor med vita gäss
Svällande segel
Som slår när vi går mot vår ö

I en vik kastar vi ankar
Tar ett dopp, har det skönt på en solvarm häll
Innan i sakta mak hemåt vi vankar
Över ön i en skön sommarkväll

Nynna en sång, tralla en trall
Gnola en låt som minner om sommar
Känn hur det doftar ifrån salta hav
När vi nynnar en sång, trallar en trall
Gnolar en låt som minner om sommar
Sjung om en härlig sommar... sommar...

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

Sjung om en härlig sommar...
Härliga dag, härliga sommardag

Pinto The Wonder Horse Is Dead
Composer(s): Tom T. Hall
Performer(s): Tom T. Hall



I read it in the paper just about a week ago
It was on the back page and not many people know
Boy it made me feel bad when I picked it up and read
Pinto the wonder horse is dead

Oh, we rode the dusty trails together
At the Saturday morning picture show
The dusty trails are gone now, but it hurts to hear it said
Pinto the wonder horse is dead

My memory goes back to when I was a little kid
We believed in everything that Pinto ever did
Will our kids have a hero half as brave or half as strong
Pinto the wonder horse is gone

Oh, we rode the dusty trails together
At the Saturday morning picture show
The dusty trails are gone now, but it hurts to hear it said
Pinto the wonder horse is dead

We believed that Pinto was the fastest horse alive
If he outrun the wind itself, we never were surprised
In my childhood memory full of boys grownin' to men
Pinto the wonder rides again

Oh, we rode the dusty trails together
At the Saturday morning picture show
The dusty trails are gone now, but it hurts to hear it said
Pinto the wonder horse is dead

Pinto the wonder horse is gone

Sky Fell
Composer(s): Judy Collins
Performer(s): Judy Collins; Linda S. Collins



The rain is falling down
Along with the sky
The colors and remembered suns
Are pouring by

What will I do with the sky
When it is empty?

Come to the window
Put your arms around me again
If you don't hold me
I will wash away with the rain

What will I do with my arms
When they are empty?

I'll just stand here and watch
The sky fall while you
Put yourself together
While you gather up the time it took
to
Make us think we would last forever.

The window fills your face
With silver and grain,
You're soaking up the sky
I'll never see it again

What will I do with the sky
When it is empty

What will I do with my life
When you have left me?

Pins And Needles
Composer(s): Janis Carnes; Rick Carnes; Chip Hardy
Performer(s): Reba McEntire; The Whites



Chorus:
Pins and needles
Needles and pins
One by one I feel them at my heart again
I think I'm getting over you and then
Pins and needles
Needles and pins

I don't know why 
I get uneasy
Every time I hear your name
I feel a sting from every memory
That we made

Repeat Chorus

That tiny ache
Can always find me
Anytime that you are near
Those little things 
Can still remind me
That you don't care

Repeat Chorus
(Pins and needles
Pins and needles
Pins and needles
Needles and pins)

Falter im Wind 
Composer(s): Richard Schönherz; Manuel Rigoni; Heinz Unger
First performance by: Milestones - 1972



Bleib' nicht im Wald, Schmetterling und verflieg' dich nicht bei Nacht
Falsch ist der Mond, sein Schattenspiel, in der Dämmerung ist kein Halt
Bleib' nicht in den Wäldern
Bleib' nicht in den Wäldern
Bleib' nicht in den Wäldern

Tanz um die Lichter, Schmetterling - deine Farben flammen auf
Tot ist die Nacht, in deinem Tanz, ist das Leben hell wie Tag
Fall nicht in die Sonne
Fall nicht in die Sonne
Fall nicht in die Sonne

Falter im Wind, wie Zeit, die verrinnt
Wie Sand in der Hand, verweht, verbrannt
Hörst du es nicht? - Ein Flügel zerbricht
Ein Flüstern verspricht Licht

Hell ist dein Tag, darum tanze schnell, er währt einen Flügelschlag
Tanz um die Lichter, Schmetterling, bald fällt Abendnebel ein
Fall nicht in die Sonne
Fall nicht in die Sonne
Fall nicht in die Sonne

Falter im Wind, wie Zeit, die verrinnt
Wie Sand in der Hand, verweht, verbrannt
Hörst du es nicht? - Ein Flügel zerbricht
Ein Flüstern verspricht Licht

Falter im Wind, wie Zeit, die verrinnt
Wie Sand in der Hand, verweht, verbrannt
Hörst du es nicht? - Ein Flügel zerbricht
Ein Flüstern verspricht Licht

Pinky 
Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John



I don't want to wake you
But I'd like to tell you that I love you
That the candlelight fell like a crescent 
Upon your feather pillow

For there's more ways than one
And the ways of the world are a blessing
For when Pinky's dreaming
She owes the world nothing
And her silence keeps us guessing

Pinky's as perfect as the Fourth of July
Quilted and timeless, seldom denied
The trial and the error of my master plan
Now she rolls like the dice in a poor gambler's hands

You don't want to tell me
But somehow you've guessed that I know
Oh when dawn came this morning
You discovered a feeling that burned like a flame in your soul

For there's toast and honey
And there's breakfast in bed on a tray
Oh it's ten below zero
And we're about to abandon our plans for the day

Skip To My Lou
(Traditional)



Lost my partner what'll I do...
I'll get another one prettier than you...
Skip, skip, skip to my lou...
Skip to my lou my darling
Flies in the buttermilk, two by two...
Files in the sugar bowl, shoo, shoo, shoo...
Skip, skip, skip to my lou...
Skip to my lou my darling
Little red wagon painted blue...
Going to Texas, two by two...

Pinksterdaghotel
Composer(s): A. Spyropoulos; C. Nooteboom; P. Campbell-Lyons
Performer(s): Liesbeth List



Onder de oceaan der stilte op de maan
rijst het Pinksterdaghotel op aard zijn spinrag
De sterren staan in brand, de golven goud gevlamd
en alle gasten baden in het vuurwerk

En in de lobby zorgt godin Aphrodite
voor alle gasten met het paspoort van de waanzin
En 7 nimfen zweven rond door de gangen
van het Pinksterdaghotel

De nacht wordt zwaar en loom
je brengt me naar een droom
en kroont me daar tot koningin der zeeën
Vanuit mijn droompaleis wordt d'aarde doods en grijs
maar 't Pinksterdaghotel rijst uit het spinrag

En in de lobby zorgt godin Aphrodite
voor alle gasten met het paspoort van de waanzin
En 7 nimfen zweven rond door de gangen
van het Pinksterdaghotel
van het Pinksterdaghotel

Muistathan
Composer(s): Juha Flinck; Nacke Johansson
First performance by: Päivi Paunu & Kim Floor - 1972



Muistathan sä yöistä tuon suloisimman
päivän ihanan sekä kauniin illan
hetken jolloin käteeni ensi kerran otit omaasi lämpimään
Kävelimme kahden vain hetken verran
läpi puistikon poikki vanhan sillan
Tuokio tuo pieni meille riitti silloin onnen antamaan

Kohtasimme keskellä ihmisten
Sattumako, ei mä tiedän sen
Kohtalo toi eteemme rakkauden ja onnen maan
On onnea surukin osaltaan
Se vain elämänä täytyy oivaltaa
Miksi ihmisellä muuten oliskaan taito naurahtaa

Kävelimme kahden vain hetken verran
Läpi puistikon poikki vanhan sillan
Tuokio tuo pieni meille riitti silloin onnen antamaan

Unessako kenties mä näin jo sun
Siitä varmaan johtui tää tunne mun
Elänyt oon ennenkin hetkisen mä pienoisen

Unta varmaan se kaikki on vieläkin
puisto, silta sekä kätes lämpimin
Sekunnissa elin elämän melkein ikuisen

La la la la laa...

Pink Shoelaces
Composer(s): Mark Grant
Performer(s): Dodie Stevens; The Chordettes



Now I got a guy and his name is Dooley
He's my guy and I love him truly!
He's not good lookin', heaven knows!
But I'm wild about his crazy clothes!

He wears tan shoes with pink shoelaces
A polka-dot vest, and man, oh man!
He wears tan shoes with pink shoelaces
And a big panama with a purple hat band!

He takes me deep sea diving in a submarine!
We go to drive in moves in a limousine!
He's got a whirly birdy and a twelve foot yacht!
Ah, but that's a-not all he's got...

He's got tan shoes with pink shoelaces
A polka-dot vest, and man, oh man!
He's got tan shoes with pink shoelaces
And a big panama with a purple hat band!

Now Dooley had a feelin' we were goin' to war
So he went out and enlisted in a fightin corps!
But he landed in the brig for raisin' such a storm
When they tried to put him in a uniform!

He wanted tan shoes with pink shoelaces
A polka-dot vest, and man, oh man!
He wanted tan shoes with pink shoelaces
And a big panama with a purple hat band!

How one day Dooley started feelin' sick
So he figured that he ought to make his will out quick!
He said, "Just before the angels come to carry me
I want it down and right in how to burry me!"

A-wearin tan shoes with pink shoelaces
A polka-dot vest, and man, oh man!
Give me tan shoes with pink shoelaces
And a big panama with a purple hat band!

And a big panama with a purple hat band!

Skip A Rope

First release by: Henson Cargill - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



Skip a rope skip a rope
Oh listen to the children while they play
Now ain't it kinda funny what the children say
Skip a rope

Daddy hates mommy mommy hates dad
Last night you should've heard the fight they had
It gave little sister another bad dream
She woke us all up with a terrible scream

Skip a rope skip a rope...

Cheat on your taxes don't be a fool
Now what was that they said about the golden rule
Never mind the rule just play to win
And hate your neighbor for the shade of his skin

Skip a rope skip a rope...

Stub 'em in the back that's the name of the game
And mommy and daddy are who's to blame

Skip a rope skip a rope
Just listen to your children while they play
It's really not very funny what the children say
Skip a rope skip a rope
Skip a rope skip a rope

Pink Peg Slacks
Composer(s): Jerry Capehart; Eddie Cochran; Hank Cochran
Performer(s): Eddie Cochran



I went downtown last night, gonna dig a show
Walked past the display window of a big department store
When I looked inside this window, hangin' off of the racks
Down there near the bottom was a great pair of pink peg slacks
I gotta have 'em; yeah, what I need for 'em is cash
Well well, have a lot of cash and wear crazy pink peg slacks

Well, I walked up to a salesman and said
"Mister, I'm flat broke
But I gotta have them pink slacks" 
He said, "What is this, man, a joke?"
Well, I asked him how much money; 
He said, "add 4 and 8"
I said, "Man, them pants is crazy; them's pink pair of acetate!"
I gotta have 'em; yeah, what I need for 'em is cash
Well well, have a lot of cash and wear crazy pink peg slacks

I went to see my baby, asked her for some dough
She said, "Well, you know, I love you, honey, but what you need this money for?"
Well, I talked about them baggers I saw across downtown
She got a sawbuck from her daddy and I turned my Ford around
I gotta have 'em; yeah, what I need for 'em is cash
Well well, have a lot of cash and wear crazy pink peg slacks

Brought the Ford to a stop, rushed into the store
Said, "Man, I got a sawbuck" 
He said, "No, you need 2 bucks more"
I said, "What's the matter, can't I charge you?"
He said, "You don't get these things for free"
I said, "But Mister, you just don't know what those pink peggers mean to me!"
I gotta have 'em; yeah, what I need for 'em is cash
Well well, have a lot of cash and wear crazy pink peg slacks

C'est La Chanson De Mon Amour
Composer(s): Catherine Desage - Véronique Muller
First performance by: Véronique Müller - 1972



Des mots sauvages et tendres - c'est la chanson de mon amour
Mon cœur s'est laissé prendre à la chanson de mon amour
Mon amour

Elle est là tout au long de ma vie
Elle m'attend dans le vent et sous la pluie
Dans le bleu d'un ciel bleu en plein midi
Dans ma nuit qui s'ennuie si loin de lui

Un jour, c'était décembre, je m'en allais seule sous la pluie
On s'est trouvé ensemble à partager le même abri

Sa main a pris la mienne, on s'est aimé le même jour
Le temps, l'espoir, la peine - c'est la chanson de mon amour
Mon amour

Elle est là tout au long de ma vie
Elle m'attend dans le vent et sous la pluie
Dans le bleu d'un ciel bleu en plein midi
Dans ma nuit qui s'ennuie si loin de lui

Des mots sauvages et tendres - c'est la chanson de mon amour
Mon cœur s'est laissé prendre à la chanson de mon amour

Di di di da da... di di da da da di da da...
Mon cœur s'est laissé prendre à la chanson de mon amour
Mon amour

Performer(s): Carl Perkins;
Jerry Lee Lewis; '68 Comeback



Well, she goes struttin' down the street
In her sofisticated style 

The way she's dressed was a knocking 'em wild
The cats started gazing till they called her out
Her pink pedal pushers was a-knocking 'em out

She wears a-pink pedal pushers, pink pedal pushers 
Her pink pedal pushers has made her the queen of them all 

She goes drivin' down the street in her brand new car
The cats started gazin' from near and far

She don't cause commotion till she steps outside

The cats get hep and holler, ooh-ooh man alive!
She's wearin' pink pedal pushers, pink pedal pushers
Pink pedal pushers has made her the queen of them all

(Ooh wop a do)
Pink pedal pushers has made her the queen of the mall

She got the number one phones to high school hop
The older folks said she got to favour the mob
She's got more than I've ever had
She's a rock 'n' roll ditty with a brand new fad
She wears a-pink pedal pushers, pink pedal pushers
Pink pedal pushers has made her the queen of them all

Well, they gave her a part in a high school play
They all chose her to play the old may
Curtain call had the crowd off the floor
Her pink pedal pusher, they stole the show
She wears a-pink pedal pushers, pink pedal pushers
Pink pedal pushers has made her the queen of them all

My skinny Minnie is a crazy chick
Six foot high and one foot thick
Do I love her 
Does a boy love pie
She is the apple of my eye
Skinny Minnie
She ain't skinny, she's tall, that's all

Though her shadow doesn't take much ground
What there is sure gets around
What there ain't that's what she be
'N' even that's too much for me 
Skinny Minnie
She ain't skinny, she's tall, that's all

Slightly slimmer than a fishing pole
One half rock and one half roll
Dig that chick from either side
Man, you'll yell "Where did she hide"
Skinny Minnie
She ain't skinny, she's tall, that's all

But have you ever seen a panther that is pink?

That he's the one and only, truly original
Panther pink from head to toe

Panther Pink Panther from head to toe!

A Festa Da Vida
Composer(s): José Calvário - José Niza
First performance by: Carlos Mendes - 1972



Que venha o sol o vinho e as flores
Marés, canções de todas as cores
Guerras esquecidas por amores

Que venham já trazendo abraços
Vistam sorrisos de palhaços
Esqueçam tristezas e cansaços

Que tragam todos os festejos
E ninguém se esqueça de beijos
Que tragam pendas de alegria
E a festa dure até ser dia

Que não se privem nas despesas
Afastem todas as tristezas
Pão vinho e rosas sobre as mesas
Que tragam cobertores ou mantas
E o vinho escorra p'las gargantas
E a festa dure até às tantas

Que venham todos de vontade
Sem se lembrarem de saudade
Venham os novos e os velhos
Mas que nenhum me dê conselhos!

Que venham todos de vontade
Sem se lembrarem de saudade
Venham os novos e os velhos
Mas que nenhum me dê conselhos!
