South America, Take It Away Composer(s): Harold Rome Performer(s): Bing Crosby & The Andrews Sisters
Up here in the land of the hot-dog stand The atom bomb and the Good Humor Man We think our South American neighbors are grand We love 'em to beat the band
South America, baba-loo, baba-loo, ay-ee-eh, baba-loo One favor you can do, ay-ee-eh, you can do You beautiful lands below Don't know what you began To put it plainly, I'm tired of shakin' To that Pan-American plan
Take back your Samba, ay!, your Rumba, ay!, your Conga, ay-yi-yi! I can't keep movin', ay!, my chassis, ay!, any longer, ay-yi-yi! Now maybe Latins, ay!, in their middles, ay!, are built stronger, ay-yi-yi! But all this takin' to the quakin' and this makin' with the shakin' leaves me achin', olé!
First shake around and settle there Then you shake around and settle here Then you shake around and settle there That's enough, that's enough Take it back, my spine's outta-whack There's a strange click-clack In the back of my sacroilliac
Take back your Conga, ay!, your Samba, ay!, your Rumba, ay-yi-yi! Why can't you send us, ay!, a less strenu-, ay!, -ous number, ay-yi-yi! I got more bumps now, ay!, than on a, ay!, cucumber, ay-yi-yi! While all those Latin drums are cloppin', like a Jumpin' Jack I'm hoppin' without stoppin', olé! South America, take it away
First you shake around and settle there (where?) Then you shake around and settle here (oh, there) And then you shake around and settle there (why Bing!) That's enough, that's enough Take it back, my spine's outta-whack There's a strange click-clack In the back of my sacroilliac Oh, my achin' back
Take back your Conga, ay!, your Samba, ay!, your Rumba, ay-yi-yi! Bring back the old days, ay!, of dancing I remember, ay-yi-yi! My hips are cracking, I am shrieking "Ay-Carumba!", ay-yi-yi! I got a wriggle and a diddle and a jiggle like a fiddle in my middle, olé! This fancy swishin' imposition wears out all of my transmission, ammunition, olé! Though I like neighborly relations all these crazy new gyrations try my patience, olé! South America, take it away!
Hang Up My Rock 'N' Roll Shoes Composer(s): Chuck Willis Performer(s): The Band; and various other artists
Mama, she done told me She didn't like this rock and roll But mama, mama, please Mama, you just don't know I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes I get an old time feeling Every time I hear the blues
They told me, "Get a job And set yourself a goal" But can't they understand I just want to rock and roll I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes Something happens to me Every time I hear the blues
I will do my homework I'll clean the yard every day I will even do the dishes I'll do anything you say
That say that rock and roll It'll soon fade away But I just want to tell you Rock and roll is here to stay I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes I get a good time feeling Every time I hear the blues
Some might even say It put the devil in my soul But that's a bunch of shit I just want to rock and roll I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes My feets got to move now Every time I hear the blues
Dis Oui Composer(s): Philippe Swan First performance by: Mélanie Cohl - 1998
Viens Si tu es fatigué du vide de tes amours Si tu ne crois plus aux jamais ni aux toujours Si tu veux t'arrêter juste pour souffler un peu Si tu crois qu'on peut être heureux
Viens Si tu n'en peux plus d'être là à concourir Moi, je veux me chauffer au bois de ton sourire On va remplir l'espace de nos éclats de rire Un jour, il faut partir
Dis oui Tu sais, c'est beau la Terre Dis oui Quand on est solidaires Et puis Le monde est à refair Dis oui Viens pour la vie, viens pour une heure
Tiens, quelque chose a changé dans le ciel ce matin On dirait que l'air est plus pur et c'est bien Tu sais, les clefs de l'avenir sont dans nos mains Alors, c'est quand que tu me rejoins?
Dis oui Au moins nous serons ensemble Dis oui On est plus forts ensemble Et puis Et puis on se ressemble Dis oui Moi, je veux t'apprendre par cur
Tu en as marre de ces bombes Qui éclatent tout autour de nous Tu rêves d'un autre monde Où l'argent ne réglera pas tout Alors n'écoute plus ceux Qui te répètent qu'on a tort Tu sais, il suffit d'être deux Pour croire qu'on est déjà plus forts
Viens Si tu es fatigué du vide de tes amours Si tu ne crois plus aux "jamais" ni aux "toujours" Si tu veux t'arrêter juste pour souffler un peu Si tu crois qu'on peut être heureux
Dis oui Tu sais, c'est beau la Terre Dis oui Quand on est solidaires Et puis Le monde est à refaire Dis oui Viens pour la vie, viens pour une heure
Hang Out The Stars Composer(s): Jack Lawrence Performer(s): The Bell Sisters
Hang out the stars Light up the moon Warm up the breeze Strike up the tune Wake up the birds A lark and a dove The scene must be right For tonight Yes tonight's The night for love
Hear the soft duet See the silhouette Of the dancers And romancers On the distant shore There's a troubadour And his melody Is meant for you and me
At first, our fingertips meet And then, at last, our lips meet And when, at last, our lips meet The kiss is so sweet Two hearts skip a beat
Hang out the stars Light up the moon Send down the mist On the lagoon Wake up the dreams We're dreaming of The scene must be right For tonight Yes tonight's The night for love
Hang out the stars Light up the moon Warm up the breeze Strike up the tune Wake up the birds A lark and a dove The scene must be right For tonight Yes tonight's The night for love
Hang out the stars Moon high above My love, hold me tight Hold me tight For tonight's the night for love

Kärleken Är Composer(s): Hakan Almqvist - Ingela "Pling" Forsman - Bobby Ljunggren First performance by: Jill Johnson - 1998
Här, i den stilla gryningen Kan jag känna, allting andas, igen Dom tunga molnen drev iväg med vindarna Inga tårar, ifrån himlen blir till regn Vi, hör orden i en sång, som finns kvar här i våra hjärtan Nu, i lugnet efter storm
En ängel flög förbi Mot himmelen så fri Men hon lämnade sitt leende på vår jord Som en sol som värmer oss Som ett himmelskt stjärnebloss Så vi kan betrakta livets skeende med en tro Kärleken är
Och när natten sänker sig Är vi trygga i varandras andetag En vind, som smyger sig hit in bär en doft utav vilda rosor
En ängel flög förbi Mot himmelen så fri Men hon lämnade sitt leende på vår jord Som en sol som värmer oss Som ett himmelskt stjärnebloss Så vi kan betrakta livets skeende med en tro Kärleken är
Oohh... Aahhh... Ohh
En ängel flög förbi Mot himmelen så fri Men hon lämnade sitt leende på vår jord Som en sol som värmer oss Som ett himmelskt stjärnebloss Så vi kan betrakta livets skeende med en tro Att kärleken är
Sous Les Ponts De Paris (English Version: Under The Bridges Of Paris) Composer(s): Jean Rodor - Vincent Scotto Performer(s): Lucienne Delyle and multiple other artists
Pour aller à Suresnes ou bien à Charenton Tout le long de la Seine on passe sous les ponts Pendants le jour, suivant son cours Tout Paris en bateau défile L' cur plein d'entrain, ça va, ça vient Mais l' soir lorsque tout dort tranquille.......
Sous les ponts de Paris, lorsque descend la nuit Tout's sort's de gueux se faufil'nt en cachette Et sont heureux de trouver une couchette Hôtel du courant d'air, où l'on ne paie pas cher L'parfum et l'eau c'est pour rien mon marquis Sous les ponts de Paris
A la sortie d' l'usine, Julot rencontre Nini Ça va t'y la rouquine, c'est la fête aujourd'hui Prends ce bouquet, quelqu's brins d' muguet C'est peu mais c'est tout' ma fortune Viens avec moi; j' connais l'endroit Où l'on n' craint même pas l'clair de lune
Sous les ponts de Paris, lorsque descend la nuit Comme il n'a pas de quoi s' payer une chambrette Un couple heureux vient s'aimer en cachette Et les yeux dans les yeux faisant des rêves bleus Julot partage les baisers de Nini Sous les ponts de Paris
Rongée par la misère, chassée de son logis L'on voit un' pauvre mère avec ses trois petits Sur leur chemin, sans feu ni pain Ils subiront leur sort atroce Bientôt la nuit la maman dit Enfin ils vont dormir mes gosses
Sous les ponts de Paris, lorsque descend la nuit Viennent dormir là tout près de la Seine Dans leur sommeil ils oublieront leur peine Si l'on aidait un peu, tous les vrais miséreux Plus de suicid's ni de crim's dans la nuit Sous les ponts de Paris
Hang On The Bell, Nellie Performer(s): The Chad Mitchell Trio; Billy Cotton
The scene was in the jailhouse, and if curfew rang that night Nell's dad in number 13 cell would go out like a light She knew her dad was innocent, so plucky Little Nell She tied her tender torso to the clapper of the bell
Hang on the bell, Nellie, hang on the bell Your poor daddy's locked in a cold prison cell As you swing to the left, Nellie swing to the right Remember that curfew bell must never ring tonight
It all started when sweet Nellie said, "No! No!" to Handsome Jack And struggled for her virtue there down by the railroad track Nell's dad came to her rescue as the train roared down the line Jack fell back across the track and paid the price of crime
Nell's dad he got arrested, and brought up before the Law The Sheriff said, "Old Handsome Jack ain't handsome any more" Poor Nell she cried and pleaded, but the jury didn't care They didn't have a sofa, so they offered him the chair
They pulled upon the bell rope, but there was no ting-a-ling They could not get their foul deed done, for curfew would not ring To and fro aloft swung Nell, while below they pulled and heaved When suddenly a voice cried "Stop! Your daddy's been reprieved!"
They cut her fair young body down, while she made protests weak And as they laid her out upon the ground, she cried in girlish pique "Look I tried to save my daddy, which was true a noble thing But still, while I was up there, man I learned it's fun to swing"
Hang on the bell, Nellie, hang on the bell So your poor daddy's sprung from his cold prison cell As you swing to the left, Nellie swing to the right No matter when that curfew rings, we're gonna swing tonight

How would you like to be Down by the Seine with me Oh what I'd give for a moment or two Under the bridges of Paris with you
Darling I'd hold you tight Far from the eyes of night Under the bridges of Paris with you I'd make your dreams come true
(How would you like to be Down by the Seine with me Oh what I'd give for a moment or two Under the bridges of Paris with you)
Darling I'd hold you tight Far from the eyes of night Under the bridges of Paris with you I'd make your dreams come true

Hemel En Aarde First performance by: Edsilia Rombley - 1998
Nederland was koel en kil en dan vooral het weer De wind die laat nooit stil en mijn liefdes leven des te meer Wat ik in jou ogen las ontsnapte bij mij het vuur Zo word nog wel is onderschat de kracht van de natuur
Hemel en aarde bewegen als jij voor mij staat Het is voor mij bewezen dat het lot bestaat Hemel en aarde gaan open als jij mij aanraakt Ik wilde nooit geloven maar er is meer tussen hemel en aarde
Zwarte luchten breken open aan de horizon Nu zal ik me warmen aan de stralen van de zon Ik heb de liefde geprobeerd maar het was nooit wat het leek Maar ik zag de toekomst toen ik in jouw ogen keek
Hemel en aarde bewegen als jij voor mij staat Het is voor mij bewezen dat het lot bestaat Hemel en aarde gaan open als jij mij aanraakt Ik wilde nooit geloven maar er is meer tussen hemel en aarde
Als jij voor mij staat, dat het lot bestaat Hemel en aarde gaan open als jij mij aanraakt Ik wilde nooit geloven maar er is meer Als jij voor mij staat, dat het lot bestaat Hemel en aarde Ik wilde nooit geloven, maar er is meer tussen hemel en aarde
Hang In Long Enough Composer(s): Phil Collins Performer(s): Phil Collins; The Starlite Orch.
The signs are getting clearer, clearer than you need The writing's on the wall, for you to see
You never thought you'd ever get the taste You never thought that it could be this good Just tell me what you want and I'll find the key Reach out and touch it's all yours
If you hang in long enough, you'll do it Just hang in long enough
You're down on the ground, or so you say You'd sell the hole in your pocket, if you could find a way Don't ask me how I know, you don't wanna hear It's been a long hard road, and the end is getting near
You never thought you'd ever get the chance You never thought your break would come along If you tell me what you want, I'll find the key Just reach out and touch it's all yours
If you hang in...
They always say The best things in life are free But you want to have everything Well you're going to have to beg if you want it all
So hang in long enough, you'll do it Hang in long enough
They'll let you out, then pull you in Playing hell with your emotions You'll feel like giving in.
Sous Le Soleil Exactement (English Version: The Sun Directly Overhead - 1995) Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg First release by: Anna Karina - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
Un point précis sous le tropique Du Capricorne ou du Cancer Depuis j'ai oublié lequel Sous le soleil exactement Pas à côté, pas n'importe où Sous le soleil, sous le soleil Exactement juste en dessous
Etait-ce le Nouveau-Mexique Vers le Cap Horn, vers le Cap Vert Etait-ce sur un archipel Sous le soleil exactement Pas à côté, pas n'importe où Sous le soleil, sous le soleil Exactement juste en dessous
Dans quel pays, dans quel district C'était tout au bord de la mer Depuis j'ai oublié laquelle Sous le soleil exactement Pas à côté, pas n'importe où Sous le soleil, sous le soleil Exactement juste en dessous
C'est sûrement un rêve érotique Que je me fais les yeux ouverts Et pourtant si c'était réel? Sous le soleil exactement Pas à côté, pas n'importe où Sous le soleil, sous le soleil Exactement juste en dessous
Where Are You? Composer(s): Scott English - Phil Manikiza - Simon Stirling First performance by: Imaani - 1998
I see your picture in a frame I see a face without a name Riding alone on an empty train Where are you?
I live in a house of broken hearts Leaves are falling in the park Every day is a question mark Where are you?
I would drive through the rain (to find you) Walk a desert plain (behind you) You could unlock these chains (I'm tied to) Where are you now?
Through the storm I call your name (to guide you) Love could be the flame (beside you) If you unlock these chains (I'm tied to) Where are you now?
Lying in my room at night Silhouettes are dressed in white Waiting for the morning light Where are you?
Each day you will live and learn As the wheels of heaven turn For you my candle burns Where are you?
I would drive through the rain (to find you) Walk a desert plain (behind you) You could unlock these chains (I'm tied to) Where are you now?
Through the storm I call your name (to guide you) Love could be the flame (beside you) If you unlock these chains (I'm tied to) Where are you now?
(So near) so near (So far) so far Out there I can almost touch you You're here in my mind all the time Where are you now?
(I would drive through the rain) to find you (Walk a desert plain behind you) You could unlock these chains (I'm tied to) Where are you now?
Through the storm (I call your name to guide you) Love could be the flame (beside you) If you unlock these chains (I'm tied to) Where are you? Where are you now?
(I would drive through the rain to find you) (Walk a desert plain behind you) If you unlock these chains (I'm tied to) Where are you now?
Through the storm (I call your name to guide you) Love could be the flame (beside you) (If you unlock these chains)
Handy Composer(s): Andy Powell; Ted Turner; Martin Turner; Steve Upton Performer(s): Wishbone Ash
Was sat down by my fire, hear a voice of desire Want to be friends again I keep tellin you,man, shes only a pain She dont fit in my scene She dont fit in my world no more And the best has to stay Keep knockin on my door Shes gone away Were kickin the thoughts around the floor
