A Stranger In Town Composer(s): Mel Tormé Performer(s): Mel Tormé and multiple other artists
Just arrived on the seventen Thought I'd see the old gang again But you know how they come and go I'm just a stranger in town
Ev'rywhere, ev'ryone I see Seems to wonder who I can be And I swear, no one seems to care About a stranger in town
I saw a cottage on a lonely old street The weeds have grown 'round the gate Somehow I felt that you would wait here, my sweet But it looks like I'm too late
Guess I'll leave on the twelve - oh - two Can't believe that there's no more you Is there nothing for me? Will I always be A stranger in my own home town
I asked around but no one knew you by name I wonder where you are now? I always hoped that things would be just the same And that you'd wait for me somehow
Guess I'll leave on the twelve - oh - two Now that you have found someone new Is there nothing for me? Will I always be A stranger in my own home town?
It hurts to be alone with no one of your own When you're a stranger in your own home town

A Swingin' Affair Composer(s): Cass - Myers Performer(s): Cliff Richard
Ours will be, a swingin' affair We won't be tied, we'll be as free as air For we won't care what tomorrow brings it'll be just one of those swingin' things
Ours will be, a swingin' affair We will just be, a very casual pair for love won't make us an April fool no, we both decided we'll play it cool
We'll share a few laughs, we'll share an odd date We'll share a few kisses, when it's growing late and though the stars and moon may shine up above we'll enjoy the magic, but we won't fall in love
Ours will be a ringa, ding, ding Just for kicks, we two will have our fling and we'll have fun while there's time to spare for we'll both enjoy our swingin' affair
Hey let's have a swingin' affair We won't be tied, we'll be as free as air For we won't care what tomorrow brings it'll be just one of those swingin' things
Ours will be, a swingin' affair We will just be, a very casual pair for love won't make us an April fool no, we both decided we'll play it cool
We'll share a few laughs, we'll share an odd date We'll share a few kisses, when it's growing late and though the stars and moon may shine up above we'll enjoy the magic, but we won't fall in love
Ours will be a ringa, ding, ding Just for kicks, we two will have our fling and we'll have fun while there's time to spare for we'll all enjoy our swingin' affair
We'll enjoy the magic, but we won't fall in love
Ours will be a ringa, ding, ding Just for kicks, we'll two will have our fling and we'll pretend we are not aware this is more, so much more than a swingin' affair
Walkin' Back To Georgia Composer(s): Jim Croce Performer(s): Jim Croce
I'm walkin' back to Georgia And I hope she will take me back Nothin' in my pockets And all I own is upon my back
Chorus:
But she's the girl who said she loved me On that hot dusty Macon road And if she's still around I'm gonna settle down With that hard lovin' Georgia girl
I'm walkin' back to Georgia She's the only one who knows How it feels when you lose a dream And how it feels when you dream alone
(Repeat Chorus)
Georgia can you hear me callin' Oh I'll be home in just a while And if I had to I'd be crawlin' Just to share another mornin' smile
But you're the girl who said you loved me On that hot dusty long ago And if you're still around I'm gonna settle down With you my hard lovin' Georgia girl ... because
I'm walkin' back to Georgia And I hope she will take me back Nothin' in my pockets And all I own is upon my back
A Sunny Day Composer(s): Donovan Performer(s): Donovan
Sunny day while away the afternoon Cutting nettles that are hiding petals pink From the river drink Bluebells, wood dells where dwells a squirrel Who slinks along branched patterns heightens call of coaltit small Hover over river Diving, writhing, gnattring chiff chaff chattering Woodpecker staggering hammering Exaggerating off his find Do da do Sunny day while away the afternoon Cutting nettles that are hiding petals pink From the river drink Bluebells, wood dells where dwells a squirrel Who slinks along branched patterns heightens call of coaltit small Hover over river
Walkin' along my merry way Singin' a song I will be gay I found a love and love is here to stay Walking along just feeling glad Singin' a song I won't be sad Oh, happy day I'm just walkin' along
When I'm walkin' feel just like a king When I'm singin' don't care 'bout a thing The reason I feel the way I do You love me, whoo I love you, who-ooh
Walkin' along my merry way Singin' a song I will be gay Oh, happy day I'm just walkin' along
A Summer Song Composer(s): Chad Stuart - Clive Metcalfe - Keith Noble First release by: Chad & Jeremy - 1964
Trees swayin' in the summer breeze Showin' off their silver leaves As we walked by
Soft kisses on a summer's day Laughing all our cares away Just you and I
Sweet sleepy warmth of summer nights Gazing at the distant lights In the starry sky
They say that all good things must end some day Autumn leaves must fall But don't you know that it hurts me so To say goodbye to you Wish you didn't have to go No no no no
And when the rain Beats against my window pane I'll think of summer days again And dream of you
They say that all good things must end some day Autumn leaves must fall But don't you know that it hurts me so To say goodbye to you Wish you didn't have to go No no no no
And when the rain Beats against my window pane I'll think of summer days again And dream of you And dream of you
Walk Through This World With Me
Composer(s): Sandra Seamons - Kay Savage
Performer(s): George Jones
and multiple other artists
Walk through this world with me, go where I go
Share all my dreams with me, I need you so
In life we search and some of us find
I've looked for you a long, long time
And now that I've found you, new horizons I see
Come take my hand and walk through this world with me
Walk through this world with me, go where I go
Share all my dreams with me, I need you so
And now that I've found you, new horizons I see
Come take my hand and walk through this world with me
Come take my hand and walk through this world with me
À Suivre Composer(s): Françoise Hardy Performer(s): Françoise Hardy
Je le respire comme une fleur Je le caresse comme une soie Je suis suspendue à son cur Mon ciel, mon enfer à la fois Je l'écoute comme un oracle Magie infinie d'une voix Je le regarde comme un miracle Dont mes yeux ne reviennent pas Je le protège comme un enfant Fragile, dans le creux de mes bras Il me fait peur comme le temps Qui passe et que l'on ne retient pas Il m'émerveille comme un rêve Qui c'est enfin réalisé Et il me fait mal comme un rêve Dont il va falloir m'éveiller...
Walk This Way Composer(s): Joe Perry; Steven Tyler Performer(s): Aerosmith
Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers Till I talked to your daddy, he say He said you ain't seen nothin' till you're down on a muffin Then you're sure to be a changin' your ways I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder Oh the times I could reminisce 'Cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin Only started with a little kiss Like this!
Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school And your feet flyin' up in the air Singin' hey diddle diddle With your kitty in the middle of the swing like you didn't care So I took a big chance at the high school dance With a missy who was ready to play Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin' And I knowed love was here to stay When she told me to
Walk this way Walk this way Walk this way Walk this way Walk this way Walk this way Walk this way Walk this way
Just gimme a kiss Like this!
Schoolgirl sweetie with a classy kinda sassy Little skirt's climbin' way up the knee There was three young ladies in the school gym locker When I noticed they was lookin' at me I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady Till the boys told me somethin' I missed Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor So I gave her just a little kiss Like this!
Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school And your feet flyin' up in the air Singin' hey diddle diddle With your kitty in the middle of the swing like you didn't care So I took a big chance at the high school dance With a missy who was ready to play Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin' When she told me how to walk this way She told me to

Septembre est venu dans la lumière J'ai jeté mon sac à l'hôtel du port Un goût de sel sur une paupière brulée J'veux savoir si tu m'aimes encore si tu m'aimes encore
Accoudé au bar de l'univers C'est l'heure où la bière se transforme en or Un soleil rouge éclaire nos voiles usées J'veux savoir si tu m'aimes encore
Criolla Ce soir je chanterai pour toi Criolla J'ai composé d'autres sambas Je veux d'alcool et des chansons Je veux les fruits de la passion Tu verras au fond de mes yeux Beaucoup de visages Marins perdus, frères déchirés Par les grands orages Il y a trois sortes de gens Les morts et les vivants Et ceux qui sont en mer
La plage est déserte, j'entends la mer Battre les remparts de Saint-Malo Murs de granit que rien ne peut tomber Dites-moi, si elle m'aime encore J'ai le cur gonflé d'un mal étrange Comme les immigrants et les étrangers Je ne sais pas si je dérange encore Je n'sais rien, je viens d'arriver
Criolla Ce soir tu danserais pour moi Criolla Dans le bar du tropicana Chansons de mer, chansons d'amour Au fond des verres, on voit le jour Si tu veux encore de ma peau De mes tatouages Je dormirais dans ton lit clos Très loin des nuages Si rien n'est plus comme avant Je s'rais un mort vivant Comme ceux qui sont en mer
J'ai ramené du rhum de Jamaïque Et des champignons du Mexique J't'ai ramené des fleurs des tropiques Et des gris-gris du Centre-Afrique Des odeurs du sang d'la musique Des couleurs et des cicatrices J'ai brûlé les bougies du saint Arrosées de mon sang carmin J'appelle Yemanja de la mer Celle qui tue ou bien espère
La nuit est tombée sur mes prières Elle s'est endormie à l'hôtel du port Mon goût de sel sur sa crinière mouillée Avec elle, je voyage encore... je voyage encore... je voyage encore...
I lit a cigarette picked up a monkey start to go The sun was spitting fire the sky was blue as ice
I felt a little tired so I watched "Miami Vice"
I walked a dinosaur I walked a dinosaur! Open the door get on the floor everybody walk the dinosaur Open the door get on the floor everybody walk the dinosaur Open the door get on the floor everybody walk the dinosaur Open the door get on the floor everybody walk the dinosaur
Boom boom acka-lacka-lacka boom
boom boom acka-lacka boom boom
I met you in a cave you were painting Buffalo
I said I'd be your slave follow wherever you go That night we split a rattlesnake and danced beneath the stars
You fell asleep I stayed awake and watched the passing cars
I walked a dinosaur I walked a dinosaur! . . .
A shadow from the sky much too big to be a bird
A screaming crashing noise louder than I've ever heard It looked like two big silver trees that somehow learned to soar
Suddenly a summer breeze and a mighty lion's roar
I killed a dinosaur I killed a dinosaur! Open the door get on the floor everybody kill the dinosaur Open the door get on the floor everybody kill the dinosaur Open the door get on the floor everybody kill the dinosaur Open the door get on the floor everybody kill the dinosaur Open the door get on the floor everybody kill the dinosaur
A Su Mirar Me Acostumbré ((Adapted from: I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face (Rex Harrison) - 1956)) ((Dutch Version: Ik Voel Dat Ik Haar Mis (Wim Sonneveld)) Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe - Manolo Fabregas Performer(s): Manolo Fabregas
Ya! Ya! Ya! Ya! A su mirar me acostumbré Con ella el sol volvió a nacer A su vivir me acostumbré Y a verla junto a mí Andar, reír, hablar, gemir
Una segunda juventud Un nuevo día en mi vivir Yo me jactaba de ser libre De ser dueño de mi ser Libre sin que nadie me dijera lo que hacer Hasta que al fin la conocí Y así me acostumbré a ser un nuevo ser
Casarse con Freddy, Ja! Que descabellada, que dura, tonta y absurda idea Pero las pagará, las pagará Esa boda es un desastre Aún antes de la bendición
Puedo verla ya, con su digna majestad En un cuarto miserable de pensión Puedo verla ya sin poder ni pan comprar En la puerta un enfurecido cobrador Querrá lucrar con mis lecciónes Para el marido mantener Y otra vez vendiendo flores En el arroyo ha de ser Ja!
En un año más con el pelo todo gris Sus mejillas lucerán otro color Y el marido aquél que juró amor sin fin Habrá ido a Paris o Nuevo York Pobre Eliza Que horrible caso! Que degradante! Que delicioso!
Y que tremenda noche en que envitablemente llamará Y acudirá a mi puerta ahogada en llanto Desesperada y sóla, arrepentida y contrita La dejaré entrar o la echaré a los lobos? Seré bondadoso o le daré merecido? La invitaré o la arrojaré como un trapo viejo?
Soy un hombre sin rencor Y es más sin torquedad sin maldad Nunca he sacado ventaja de alguien jamás Todo un hombre sin rencor Más, yo nunca más atestaré Aún de rodillas a mis pies Aunque jure por su honor Aunque llore de dolor Con la puerta en las narices le daré! Casarse con Freddy Bah!
Sin embargo escucho aún su risa al despertar Su linda voz, sus sí's, sus no's Una segunda juventud Un nuevo día en mi vivir Por suerte siempre ha sido fácil Olvidar a una mujer Todo el mundo lo hace Yo podré también, si no es Por la costumbre que hay en mí De algo que no sé, de algo que sentí
Walk Tall Composer(s): Sid Wayne Performer(s): Val Doonican; and various other artists
(Walk tall)
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high She said son, be a proud man and hold your head up high Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
All through the years that I grew up, ma taught these things to me But I was young and foolish then and much too blind to see I ignored the things she said as if I'd never heard Now I see and understand the wisdom of her words
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high She said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
I started goin' places where the youngsters shouldn't go I got to know the kind of girls it's better not to know I fell in with a bad crowd and laughed and drank with them Through the laughter mama's words would echo now and then
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high She said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
I got in trouble with the law and I'm in prison now Through these prison bars I see things so much different now I've got one year left to serve and when my time is done I'll walk tall and straight and make ma proud to call me son
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high She said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye Walk tall (Walk tall)
Walk Right Now Composer(s): Michael Jackson; Jackie Jackson; Randy Jackson Performer(s): The Jacksons
Here, when all my work is done She calls and she says, dear, can I come? I say to her, that you know our love has gone But aggressive heart, you're really not the one She comes to the door, crying at my feet Guilt shines in her eyes As she slowly sinks in deep You know our love couldn't last forever Persuade your way, but you ain't clever I close the door and I say never
I don't care, what you're sayin' Walk right now, I ain't playin' Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin' Don't look back, you ain't stayin'
Here, I'm crying, I can't sleep I sigh, 'cause I thought this would never be I say ohh, I'm screamin' out for someone And now she's knockin' on the door for me She just won't leave me alone She wants to speak with me And persuade me in her arms And now she's callin' on the phone for me Just won't leave me alone Deep down inside she's trying to be clever To love once more then leave me forever I close the door and I say never
I don't care, what you're sayin' Walk right now, I ain't playin' Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin' Don't look back, you ain't stayin' (Repeat)
I try so hard to cope with you I can't bear with the things you put me through To love as friends, I wish that we could see But persuasive heart, you just won't let pure friendship be You know our love couldn't last forever Persuade your way, but you ain't clever I close the door and I say never
I don't care, what you're sayin' Walk right now, I ain't playin' Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin' Don't look back, you ain't stayin' (Repeat)

A Strawberry Moon (In A Blueberry Sky) Composer(s): Bob Hilliard - Sammy Mysels Performer(s): Joy Nichols and multiple other artists
There's a strawberry moon in a blueberry sky In a garden high over Manhattan Oh what a heavenly pattern Even your ma and your pa never saw such a
Strawberry moon in a blueberry sky Looming over two starry eyed people Gazing at stars round the steeple Of the church where I'll marry you soon Under a strawberry moon
Oh the moon, lovely moon What a heavenly strawberry moon
There's a strawberry cottage in blueberry lane On the outskirts of merry Manhattan Furnished with silk and with satin Curtains of lace and three windows that face that old
Strawberry moon in a blueberry sky And a strawberry patch in the garden So glad that we put a yard in We're expecting some blueberries soon Under a strawberry moon.
Oh the moon, lovely moon What a heavenly strawberry moon
Oh the moon, lovely moon What a heavenly strawberry moon

A Stranger On Earth Composer(s): Sid Feller - Rick Ward Performer(s): Marianne Faithfull and multiple other artists
Some fools don't know what's right from wrong But somehow those folks belong Me, I try for all I'm worth But I still remain a stranger on this earth
Some people gloom, other folk cry Me, I have to struggle to keep alive Ever since the day of my birth I've been a stranger, stranger on this earth
I try to be what all folks should Forgetting the bad and doing good But no matter how I try My troubles always multiply
Now I've been doing the best I can Ever since life began Some day when I prove my worth I won't be a stranger on earth
Now I've been living the best I can Ever since my life began The day's gonna come when I prove my worth And I won't be no stranger No, I won't be a stranger On this earth
