You've gotta eat your spinach baby That's the proper thing to do It'll keep you kind of healthy too And what it did for Popeye it'll do for you

À La Campagne Composer(s): René Laquier - Étienne Lorin Performer(s): André Bourvil
On chante tout le temps Paris, la plac' Pigalle Les îles des tam-tam, ou les beautés fatales Moi, j'vais chanter mes champs Et, d'une voix trés ferme, ouvrant ma bouche en grand Je vais chanter la ferme La ferm' de mon pays, ses bois et ses prairies La si jolie Julie, et mêm'sa laiterie
À la campagne, avec ma compagne On vit bien tranquill's comm' deux in...souciants À la campagne, avec ma compagne On est bien heureux près de nos deux boeufs Quand il faut semer, tous les jours on sème Et l'soir quand on a semé, alors on s'aime Car vous comprenez, c'est bon de s'aimer Avec ma compagne À la campagne
On fête aux moissons, quand les oiseaux gazouillent Lorsqu'on tue le cochon, quell' joie de faire l'endouille Moi j'me plais au grand air, car j'y travaille à l'aise Et j'vis bien sur mes terres, où toujours n'vous déplaise Des mûres muriront, des becs bécoteront Des cri-cri crisseront, des épis ... pousseront
À la campagne, avec ma compagne On rit j'le confess' comm' un' pair'... de fous À la campagne avec ma compagne On mang' à gogo, comm' deux sa.....tisfaits Du travail aux champs, jamais on s'en lasse Et l'soir, null'ment lassés, vite on s'enlace Car vous comprenez, c'est bon d's'enlacer Avec ma compagne À la campagne
Pendant les mois creux, l'on chasse et l'on pêche Et l'soir, quand on a pêché, alors on pêche C'est ainsi qu'est né, né un nouveau né Avec ma compagne À la campagne

I see that worried look upon your face You've got your troubles, I got mine She's found somebody else to take your place You've got your troubles, I got mine I too have lost my love today All of my dreams have flown away Now just like you I sit and wonder why You've got your troubles, I got mine You need some sympathy, well so do I You've got your troubles, I got mine She used to love me, that I know And it don't seem so long ago That we were walking, that we were talking The way that lovers do And so forgive me if I seem unkind You've got your troubles, I got mine
(Counter: And it must seem to you, my friend That I ain't got no pity for you Well, that ain't true You see I love that little girl, little girl, little girl) I'd help another place, another time You've got your troubles, I got mine You've got your troubles, I got mine You've got your troubles, I got mine
À La Cabane Bambou Composer(s): Paul Marinier Performer(s): Félix Mayol

You've Got What I Like Composer(s): Les Chadwick; Les Maguire; Freddie Marsden; Gerry Marsden Performer(s): Gerry & The Pacemakers
Your smile can make the darkness turn to light Your eyes make gold & silver not so bright Your hair's as soft as a summer night You've got what I like
You say the things I always wanted to You walk just like an angel out of the blue And when you hold me, my life starts anew You've got what I like
You've got the kind of lips I long to kiss And when we go on dates now, endless bliss You make a desert island come to life You make the whole wide world seem free from strife You are the one I'm gonna make my wife You've got what I like You've got what I like You've got what I like
You've got the kind of lips I long to kiss And when we go on dates now, endless bliss You make a desert island come to life You make the whole wide world seem free from strife You are the one I'm gonna make my wife You've got what I like You've got what I like You've got what I like
You've got to learn to show a happy face Although you're full of misery You mustn't show a trace of sadness And never look for sympathy
You've got to learn, although it's very hard The way of pocketing your pride And sometimes face humiliation While you are burning up inside
Facing reality is awful hard to do When it seems happiness is gone You've got to learn, to hide your tears And tell your heart life must go on
You've got to learn, to leave the table When love is no longer being served Just show them all that you are able To leave without saying a word
You've got to learn, to hide your sorrow And go on living as before What good is thinking of tomorrow Who knows what it may have in store?
You've got to learn, to be much stronger At times your head should rule your heart You've got to learn, from hard experience And listen to the voice and sometimes pay the price

Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney
First release: The Beatles - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists
Here I stand head in hand Turn my face to the wall If she's gone I can't go on Feelin' two-foot small
Everywhere people stare Each and every day I can see them laugh at me And I hear them say
Hey you've got to hide your love away Hey you've got to hide your love away
How can I even try I can never win Hearing them, seeing them In the state I'm in
How could she say to me Love will find a way Gather round all you clowns Let me hear you say
Hey you've got to hide your love away Hey you've got to hide your love away

You've got to be taught To hate and fear You've got to be taught From year to year It's got to be drummed In your dear little ear You've got to be carefully taught
You've got to be taught to be afraid Of people whose eyes are oddly made And people whose skin is a diff'rent shade You've got to be carefully taught
You've got to be taught before it's too late Before you are six or seven or eight To hate all the people your relatives hate You've got to be carefully taught
You've Got That Thing Composer(s): Cole Porter Performer(s): Leo Reisman; and various other artists
Since first you blew in like a boisterous breeze I often have wondered, Dear Why gentlemen all seem to fall on their knees The moment that you appear Your fetching physique is hardly unique You're mentally not so hot You'll never win laurels because of your morals But I'll tell you what you've got.....
You've got that thing, you've got that thing That thing that makes birds forget to sing Yes, you've got that thing, that certain thing
You've got that charm, that subtle charm That makes young farmers desert the farm 'Cause you've got that thing, that certain thing
You've got what Adam craved when he With love for Eve was tortured She only had an apple tree But you, you've got an orchard
You've got those ways, those taking ways That make me rush off to Cartier's For a wedding ring, you've got that thing
You've got that thing, you've got that thing That thing that makes vines prefer to cling Yes, you've got that thing, that certain thing
You've got those looks, those fatal looks That make book censors enjoy their books 'Cause you've got that thing, that certain thing
Just what made Samson be, for years Delilah's lord and keeper She only had a pair of shears But you, you've got a reaper
You've got that power, that power to grip That makes me map out a wedding trip For the early spring, you've got that thing
You've got that thing, you've got that thing That thing that makes bees refuse to sting Yes, you've got that thing, that certain thing
You've got that kiss, that kiss that warms That makes reformers reform reforms 'Cause you've got that thing, that certain thing
They tell us Trojan Helen's lips Made every man her slavey If her face launched a thousand ships Well, yours could launch a navy
You've got that that love, and such a lot It makes me think you're prepared for what Any stork might bring, you've got that thing

Give me your lips for just a moment And my imagination will make that moment live Give me what you alone can give A kiss to build a dream on

A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber - Jim Steinman Performer(s): Meat Loaf
If you listen, to the night You can hear the darkness call I can barely stand to wait I can barely stand at all C'mon closer to me now It's like we're sharing the same skin We gotta get out of this jail We gotta let the future in So many things in your life That your bound to regret Why didn't I do that? Why didn't I do this? So many chances you lost That you'll never forget Why didn't I make it? Why didn't I take it right there? The loneliest words you'll ever know "if only-if only it was so" The emptiest words that there'll ever be "it could have been me" "it could have been me" The loneliest words you'll ever know "if only-if only it was so" The emptiest words that there'll ever be "it could have been me" "it could have been me" You'll have to pay for it later If you don't get it when it's going for free Believe me -! believe me -!

'Cause we'll never be as young as we are right now We'll never be as young as we are right now!
So many cries in the night That you try to ignore Why didn't I do this? Why didn't I do that? So many unanswered prayers So many unopened doors Why didn't I take it? Why didn't I make it come true? The loneliest words you'll ever know "if only - if only it was so" The emptiest words that there'll ever be "it could have been me" "it could have been me" The loneliest words you'll ever know "if only - if only it was so" The emptiest words that there'll ever be "it could have been me" "it could have been me" You'll have to pay for it later If you don't get it when it's going for free! Believe me! believe me, believe me!

You've Got Me For Company Composer(s): Billy Preston; Bruce Fisher Performer(s): Martha Reeves; Billy Preston
Tiny tears are gathered in the corners of your eyes The smile upon your lips is just your heartache in disguise But lonely you need never be if you'd only realize You've got me for company
I suppose that no one knows the sorrow you have felt Lost among the shuffle as the cards of fate were dealt Like lemon drops falling on the sun, all your emptiness will melt You've got me for company
Chorus: Oh no, little darlin', just be yourself with me I'm on hand to understand you (this line x2 1st time, x3 2nd time) You've got me for company
In the mornin' when you wake up, you won't be alone I'll wake up beside you to hold you tight & keep you warm We can take & we can make this empty house a home You've got me for company
A Kiss In The Dark Composer(s): Victor Herbert - Buddy De Sylva Performer(s): Shirley Jones & Jack Cassidy and multiple other artists
I recall the mad delight of a lovely dance And a strolling through the night trembling with romance There he told me of my charms, how could I resist Suddenly within his arms I ws held and kissed
Oh that kiss in the dark was, to him, just a lark But to me was a thrill supreme Just a kiss in the dark, but it kindled the spark The awaking of love's young dream
Just a kiss in the dark, but it kindled the spark The awaking of love's young dream
