Sway ((Adapted from: Quién Será (by Pablo Beltrán Ruiz)) ((Icelandic Version: Í Dansi Með Þér (by Björk Guðmundsdóttir & Tríó Guðmundar Ingólfssonar) - 1990)) Composer(s): Pablo Beltrán Ruiz - Norman Gimbel Performer(s): Dean Martin - 1954 and multiple other artists
When marimba rhythms start to play Dance with me, make me sway Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore Hold me close, sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze Bend with me, sway with ease When we dance you have a way with me Stay with me, sway with me
Other dancers may be on the floor Dear, but my eyes will see only you Only you have the magic technique When we sway I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins Long before it begins Make me thrill as only you know how Sway me smooth, sway me now
Other dancers may be on the floor Dear, but my eyes will see only you Only you have the magic technique When we sway I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins Long before it begins Make me thrill as only you know how Sway me smooth, sway me now You know how Sway me smooth, sway me now

With summer, with springtime, with sunsets that glow I'm not a great poet, but this much I know You rhyme with everything, that's beautiful You rhyme with everything, everything, my love

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary When troubles come and my heart burdened be Then, I am still and wait here in the silence Until you come and sit awhile with me

You Put Something Better Inside Of Me Composer(s): Joe Egan; Gerry Rafferty Performer(s): Stealers Wheel; Roger Daltrey; Ted Neeley; Gerry Rafferty
You put something better inside of me You put something better inside of me
I could look out the window or stare at the wall But really it didn't matter, no, I just didn't care at all Could be sitting by the water, counting every stone 'Cause nothing means nothing when you're empty and on your own
But you put something better inside of me You put something better inside of me Makes me so much stronger I'm amazed at the change in me
Well, I knew what I was doing, I was running away Busy going nowhere, just wasting the time of day Walking down the road, kicking up the stones Nothing means nothing when you're empty and on your own
But you put something better inside of me You put something better inside of me Makes me so much stronger I'm amazed at the change in me

You Pull My Tongue Out Composer(s): Carl Finch Performer(s): Brave Combo
You make me love you I don't want to You make me love you When I don't even want you around You hold my head back And pull my tongue out You make me kiss you And smile when I'd rather frown
You make me think I'm happy But I'm much too smart 'Cause just about the time I'm into you just about the time I'm hearing you just about the time I can't leave you You leave me with a broken heart
So turn your light off don't tempt me Turn your light off Whenever I'm passing by
You make me love you I don't want to You make me love you And smile when I'd rather cry
You make me think I'm happy But I'm much too smart 'Cause just about the time I'm into you just about the time I'm feeling you just about the time I can't leave you You leave me with a broken heart.
HEY!
So turn your light off Don't tempt me Turn your light off Whenever I'm passing by
You hold my head back And pull my tongue out You make me kiss you And smile when I'd rather cry
You make me think I'm happy But I'm much too smart 'Cause just about the time I'm into you just about the time I'm feeling you just about the time I can't leave you You leave me with a broken heart!
Swanee Blues Composer(s): J. Milton Decamp - Frank Goodman Performer(s): J. Milton Decamp
I've seen the Swanee River flow along I've heard a Swanee bird sing out it's song To you that may be just a melody But its beautiful music to me The Swanee Moon that's shining up above Just seems to bless my Swanee home with love My Swanee friends were always true The name of Swanee makes me blue
I've been away so very long it seems But I'm in Swanee every night in dreams Why must I be wandering all around Down in Swanee there's happiness found I've longed to breathe that Swanee atmosphere Where smiling faces filled my heart with cheer More fragrant is the Swanee Rose Than any other flow'r that grows
I always seem to get the Swanee Blues When my Mammy sends me Southern news My heart beats so fast I find Dixie scenes are on my mind I can't stay longer, something stronger Calls me to that Swanee shore there's a "Bay of Sunshine" whom I long to see She has made the Swanee, Paradise to me So there is no more time to lost And I'll shake my wand'ring shoes for I am going back to cure my Swanee Blues
Zing! Went The Strings Of My Heart Composer(s): James F. Hanley Performer(s): Judy Garland; and various other artists
(Intro) Never could carry a tune, never knew where to start You came along when everything was wrong and put a song in my heart
Dear when you smiled at me, I heard a melody It haunted me from the start Something inside of me started a symphony Zing! Went the strings of my heart
'Twas like a breath of spring, I heard a robin sing About a nest set apart All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony Zing! Went the strings of my heart
Your eyes made skies seem blue again What else could I do again But keep repeating through and through "I love you, love you"
I still recall the thrill, guess I always will I hope 'twill never depart Dear, with your lips to mine, a rhapsody devine Zing! Went the strings of my heart
(instrumental)

I've been away from you a long time I never thought I'd miss you so Somehow I feel, your love was real Near you I long to be
The birds are singing, it is song time The banjo's strummin' soft and low I know that you yearn for me too Swanee you're calling me
Swanee how I love ya, how I love ya My dear old Swanee I'd give the world to be Among the folks in D-I-X-I even know my Mammy's waitin' for me prayin' for me Down by the Swanee
The folks up North will see me no more When I go to the Swanee shore Swanee, Swanee I am coming back to Swanee Mammy, Mammy, I love the old folks at home
Swanee how I love ya, how I love ya My dear old Swanee I'd give the world to be among the folks in D-I-X-I even know my Mammy's waitin' for me prayin' for me Down by the Swanee The folks up north will see me no more When I go to the Swanee shore

Déjà il vous est arrivé D'entendre comme un air de fête Ce refrain qui dans votre tête Fait du tintamarre comme une fanfare Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
C'est une chanson qui trotte dans la tête On ne sait où elle commence où elle s'arrête Mais sans fin elle revient Et vous poursuit soir et matin Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Je sais bien que mes amis la trouvent bête Et pourtant chacun leur tour ils la répètent Au téléphone ou dans la rue Allo bonjour comment vas-tu Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Cela devient une obsession Qui dès le matin me dévore Et chaque nuit c'est pire encore Car je dis je t'aime en chantant quand même Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
C'est une chanson qui trotte dans ma tête Je ne sait où elle commence où elle s'arrête Mais sans fin elle revient et me poursuit soir et matin Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Je ne sais d'où elle vient mais quand j'y pense Je revois les marronniers de mon enfance Et dans la rue un cur d'enfant Sortant de l'école en chantant Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
{Instrumental}
Quand une chanson vous trotte dans la tête On ne sait où ça commence où ça s'arrête Je crois bien que dès demain Chacun reprendra mon refrain Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum Zoum, zoum

Zoveel Mooier Composer(s): S. Fain; P.F. Webster; P. Els Performer(s): Ann Christy
Zoveel mooier Altijd mooier Steeds maar weer (steeds maar weer) Steeds maar weer (steeds maar weer)
Mooi kan nog veel mooier zijn Voor wie de pracht ervan wil zien Te goed kan zoveel beter zijn Alleen moet jij dit willen zien
Oeh, rood kan nog veel rooier Geef zelf de glans aan iedere kleur Met een beetje goed humeur Kan mooi nog zoveel mooier zijn
Loop door 't leven met een groot penseel Voeg er hier en daar wat vreugde bij Als jij je kaarten dan goed speelt Dan kan mooi nog zoveel mooier voor je zijn
Zoveel mooier Altijd mooier Steeds maar weer (steeds maar weer) Oeh, steeds maar weer (steeds maar weer)
Mooi kan zoveel mooier zijn Als jij er zelf ook wat voor doet Jij kan ook gelukkig zijn Maar ga, ga geluk dan tegemoet
Oh, ga tot leven als een tovenaar Die de dingen altijd mooier maakt Wees een vriend voor al die van je houdt En mooi zal zoveel mooier Mooi zal nog veel mooier Mooi zal zoveel mooier voor je zijn
