To be young, gifted and black oh what a lovely precious dream To be young, gifted and black open up your heart to what I mean 'Cause you know in this whole wide world There's a million A million boys and girls Who are young, gifted and black and that's a fact!

Haven't you heard that the joy the joy! the joy of the day is that one day that we all be proud to say That we were young, gifted and black and it's sho' 'nuff where it's at!

Sam'di-midi blanchissage Pantalons costumes corsages Qui qui lessive en lessiveuse C'est la ménagère heureuse On nettoie la crasse d'une semaine Son cambouis ses soucis ses peines Dégraissage complet mon mari M'a fait la chose aujourd'hui Ça swing au pressing On met des sous dans les machines Pour voir tourner les bulles d'enzymes Swing au pressing Ça smart ou ça pop art Tout'l'monde est à l'eau écarlate Blouse de mécano noir smoking Swing au pressing Les vagues dans ces hublots mesdames Font-elles penser à la Guyane L'adoucisseur adoucit-il Vos curs fragiles Détache rince essore sèche ma belle La seule issue c'est l'eau d'javel Au mal d'amour aux migraines Allez à la s'maine prochaine Ça swing au pressing On met des sous dans les machines Pour voir tourner les bulles d'enzymes Swing au pressing Ça smart ou ça pop art Tout'l'monde est à l'eau écarlate No smoking because oppressing Swing au pressing
The Swimming Song Composer(s): Loudon Wainwright III First release by: Louden Wainwright III - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists
This summer I went swimming This summer I might have drowned But I held my breath, kicked my feet And I moved my arms around Moved my arms around
This summer I did the backstroke And you know that that's not all I did the breaststroke, the butterfly And the old Australian Crawl The old Australian Crawl
This summer I swam in a public place And a reservoir to boot At the latter I was informal At the former I wore my suit I wore my swimming suit
This summer I did swan-dives And jack-knifes for you all And once when you weren't looking I did a cannon-ball Did a cannon-ball
Swimming Pool Composer(s): K. Grimwood / E. Idlet) Performer(s): Trout Fishing in America
Blue skies with no clouds Hot afternoons can get you down and make you sweaty Mid-summer sun bake I know exactly what we should do and I think you're ready Gonna stay cool, cool, cool at the swimming pool Gonna stay cool, cool, cool at the swimming pool Swimsuits or cutoffs Slide into your jams, it makes no difference But don't forget the sun block Flippers or face mask Flip down those shades and grab your pool pass But don't forget the sun block Gonna stay cool, cool, cool at the swimming pool Gonna stay cool, cool, cool at the swimming pool Just like the river without the rocks Just like the ocean without the sharks Just like the lake, but it's not so deep If you want to stay cool, some along with me Feet first or swan dive Back flip or jackknife, cannonball, but no belly-busters Blow up that rubber raft, float all afternoon, just relax and laugh It's an attitude adjuster Gonna stay cool, cool, cool at the swimming pool Gonna stay cool, cool, cool at the swimming pool

Another fight on the street below They've got things to prove Shouting threats and sending out a counterglow All they do is walk, talk, knit socks, wind clocks and crawl on their bellies like a reptile
I have no idea at all... I hear a sound...
We talk of parks and simple places Sense the thickness of the air Highly strung like nervous guitars My fingers make waves in you
We're afraid to call it love Let's call it swimming...
Young Lovers Composer(s): Ray Hildebrand; Jill Jackson Performer(s): Paul & Paula

Swim, Little Fish Composer(s): Phil Parke - Harry Parr-Davies Performer(s): George Formby
Now once upon a time there was a little fish And he lived in a long long stream And to make his way to the great wide world Was this little fish's dream
So a wise old trout who'd been about Advised him what to do Now he said "fishes wishes won't come true If they dream the whole day through
So swim little fish swim on, swim little fish swim on We're two ambitious fishes you and I, we'll get our wishes if we try try try Swim little fish swim on, swim little fish swim on Blow little bubbles all the long day through Show little troubles that they can't stop you For everything in life worthwhile is hard to get my friend So don't give up and don t give in, it's worthwhile in the end
Swim little fish swim on, swim little fish swim on Swim little fella till your dreams come true You'll meet the very little fish for you You can be happy if you swim, swim, swim, swim, swim little fish swim on
Swim little fish swim on, swim little fish swim on If you are weary at the river mouth, ask for a lift upon the next wave south Swim little fish swim on, swim little fish swim on Be very careful and you'll find it pays, mind how you cross the gulf and look both ways
A chap can get a good square meal and all that he can wish The wise fish goes to smokey roes, a good pull in for fish Swim little fish swim on, swim little fish swim on Always remember mother's good advice Steer clear of fishes who are not quite nice Do nothing fishy fishy, swim swim swim swim Swim little fish swim on O.K.

Biche, ô ma biche Lorsque tu soulignes Au crayon noir tes jolis yeux Biche, ô ma biche Moi je m'imagine Que ce sont deux papillons bleus
Biche, ô ma biche Lorsque tu soulignes Au crayon noir tes jolis yeux Biche, ô ma biche Moi je m'imagine Que ce sont deux papillons bleus

Young Hearts Run Free Composer(s): David Crawford Performer(s): Candi Staton; and various other artists
What's the sense in sharing, this one and only life Endin' up, just another lost and lonely wife You'll count up the years, and they will be filled with tears Love only breaks up, to start over again You'll get the baby, but you won't have your man While he is busy loving every woman that he can, uh-huh Say I'm gonna leave a hundred times a day It's easier said than done When you just can't break away (when you just can't break away)
Chorus: Oh young hearts run free Never be hung up, hung up like my man and me, my man and me Ooh, young hearts, to yourself be true Don't be no fool when love really don't love you, don't love you
It's high time now just one crack at life Who wants to live in, in trouble and strife My mind must be free, to learn all I can about me, uh-hmm
I'm gonna love me, for the rest of my days Encourage the babies every time they say "Self preservation is what's really going on today"
Say I'm gonna turn loose a thousand times a day But how can I turn loose When I just can't break away (when I just can't break away)
Oh young hearts run free They'll never be hung up, hung up like my man and me, you and me Ooh, young hearts, to yourself be true Don't be no fool when love really don't love you, don't love you
Sweets For My Sweet ((French Version: Ma Biche (by Frank Alamo) - 1963)) Composer(s): Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman First release by: The Drifters - 1961 Covered by multiple other artists
If you wanted a star that shines so brightly To match the stardust in your eyes Darling, I would chase that bright star nightly And try to steal it from the skies
Cuz I'd give sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey Your perfect kiss thrills me so Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey I'll never ever let you go
If you needed a dream to keep you smiling I'd tell the sandman you were blue And I'd ask him to keep that sand piling Until your dreams would all come true
Cuz I'd give sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey Your perfect kiss thrills me so Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey I'll never ever let you go
If you wanted a love to last forever Then I would send my love your way And my love won't only last forever But forever and a day
Cuz I'd give sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey Your perfect kiss thrills me so Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey I'll never ever let you go
Cuz I'd give sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey Your perfect kiss thrills me so Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey I'll never ever let you go
Young Guns Composer(s): UB40 Performer(s): UB40; Alpha Blondy
Hey hot shot Your'e a one man band The Don on the block With a glock in your hand With a girl and a ride You don't wanna hear Think you're getting respect All you find is fear
The one damn thing you sure to find Is another gun Where you're gonna hide Said you'd never never run I guess you lied You're the fool in the crew that died You're mother cried
Hold your fire, cool your temper, young guns never too bold Hold your fire, just remember, young guns never grow old
The one damn thing you sure to find Is a bigger gun To blow away your pride You're young blood running in the roadside And in the crossfire, innocents died We all cried
Sweetness Composer(s): Jon Anderson - Clive Bailey - Chris Squire Performer(s): Yes
She brings the sunshine to a rainy afternoon She puts the sweetness in and stirs it with a spoon She watches for my moods and never brings me down She puts the sweetness in all around She knows just what to say to make me feel so good inside And when I'm all alone I feel I don't want to hide Today she bought me in and told me where she'd been She put my mind at rest and put the sweetness in I'll ask her for some time to go and look around She puts the sweetness in all around She knows just what to say to make a sunny day And when I'm all alone I really don't feel that way Tell me how would you feel with no world of your own And nobody to hold, I just can't see the way I'm so glad it's today and you're here, you're here Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo
She brings the sunshine to a rainy afternoon She puts the sweetness in and stirs it with a spoon She watches for all my moods never brings me down She puts the sweetness in all around She knows just what to say to make a sunny day And when I'm all alone I really don't feel that way Oh how I need her so, I know she'll never ever go Do do do do do do She'll never leave me, believe me - no Do do do do do do She'll never go, no no No no no no no no no no no - no!
Young Girl Sunday Blues Composer(s): Marty Balin; Paul Kantner Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane
In my heart I have a feeling
and I don't know what I'm gonna do Oh, what a beautiful world, the world, what should I do? What should I do? Don't you know what I have found? Maybe you've found it too Today is made up of yesterday and tomorrow Young girl Sunday blues and all her sorrow
One side of me is filled with brightness, no matter what I might say The days are made with waterfall colors, couldn't I make you stay? If rain slides the sides of my face must be a rainy day But I get lost in yesterday and tomorrow, tomorrow Young girl Sunday blues and all her sorrow
I walk beside you laughing and I'm high, don't try to touch me with words When I tell you I dream it might seem like silence, but so much can be heard I think of things, what loving you brings, maybe my thing is her Today is made of yesterday and tomorrow Young girl Sunday blues, and all her sorrow
Ah! come into my mind, let yourself wander free and easy Ah! come into my life, Sunday blues girl, young and new girl You're the only true girl here can please me I said, "Please me, yeah! Please me! Please me! Please me!"
