Le Lambeth Walk
((Adapted from: The Lambeth Walk (by Lupino Lane) - 1937))
((English Version: The Lambeth Walk (by Dalida) - 1984))
Composer(s): Noel Gay - Douglas Furber - L. Arthur Rose - Pierre Delanoë
Performer(s): Dalida - 1978
Bonjour Dalida! Bonjour Mais qu'est-ce que tu fais? Je danse Tu danses? le foxtrot, la polka? Non, non, je danse le lambeth walk Quoi? Le lambeth walk Hé!
Quand on feuilletait naguère Dans les greniers de nos grands-mères On découvrait des tas d'objets Qu'on appelait nids à poussière
Mais ma grand-mère à moi Dans son grenier possède un tas De bons disques sympahtiques Et un phono mécanique
Un p'tit coup de manivelle Et j'entends des ritournelles Des airs qui chantent Les folles années trente
Des charlestons, des rumbas Des béguines et des javas Et moi je danse Les danses d'autrefois
Mais celle que je préfère Nous venait d'Angleterre Ecoutez-moi ce swing God save the King Quand on voulait la danser Il suffisait de marcher Le lambeth walk C'était pas compliqué Hé!
J'ai l'impression bizarre De faire danser l'histoire De revenir au temps de Grand-Maman
Quand on voulait la danser Il suffisait de marcher Le lambeth walk C'était pas compliqué He!
Toute seule dans mon grenier Moi je l'ai réssucité Le lambeth walk C'était pas compliqué
Voici mon phonographe Messieurs les chorégraphes Ecoutez-moi ce swing God save the Queen
Un p'tit coup de manivelle Et j'entends des ritournelles Des airs qui chantent Les folles années trente
Toute seule dans mon grenier Moi je l'ai réssucité Le lambeth walk C'était pas compliqué

Lover Come Back To Me Composer(s): Sigmund Romberg - Oscar Hammerstein II First performance by: Evelyn Herbert - 1928 Covered by multiple other artists
You went away, I let you We broke the ties that bind I wanted to forget you And leave the past behind Still, the magic of the night I met you Seems to stay forever in my mind
The sky was blue and high above The moon was new and so was love This eager heart of mine was singing Lover where can you be
You came at last, love had its day That day is past, you've gone away This aching heart of mine is singing Lover come back to me
Remembering every little thing you used to say and do I'm so lonely Every road I walk along, I walked along with you No wonder I am lonely
The sky is blue, the night is cold The moon is new, but love is old And while I'm waiting here This heart of mine is singing Lover come back to me
And while I'm waiting here This heart of mine is singing Lover come back to me
Whatever It Takes Composer(s): Jim Femino; Essra Mohawk Performer(s): Essra Mohawk
I pick up the paper And the news reads just like Stephen King Y'know last night I woke up shakin' So afraid of what the day might bring What tomorrow will bring Well, something's gotta' break it If we're ever gonna' make it Or life won't mean a thing
(chorus): Whatever it takes to make the world go round Whatever it takes to bring the bad guys down wWhatever it takes for heaven sakes Don't give up without a sound We'll be lost until we've found Whatever it takes
No one says it's easy But does it have to be so hard Maybe there's an answer Right in everyone's backyard For every step we've taken We seem to fall back two Have we fallen back too far
(chorus): Whatever it takes to make the world go round Whatever it takes to bring the bad guys down Whatever it takes for heaven sakes Don't give up without a sound We'll be lost until we've found
Whatever it takes Whatever the cost We've got to get back all that we lost
(chorus): Whatever it takes to make the world go round Whatever it takes to bring the bad guys down Is it wisdom? Is it love? Is it all of the above? Oh we'll all need plenty of whatever it takes . . .
After We Make Love Composer(s): Gerry Goffin - Michael Masser Performer(s): Whitney Houston
I've been waiting such a long time For a love that's real to come my way Gonna take some getting used to Now that love is here to stay
After we make love I'll be lost in the afterglow You're all I'm dreaming of I just can't l just can't let the feeling go After we make love There's no doubt in my mind I've been touched by All that heaven and earth will allow All that matters is right here and now
Now the world is filled with wonder You've turned my life around in just one day I love the spell you've put me under Just one kiss can take my breath away
After we make love Feels so good to be lost in the afterglow You're all I'm dreaming of I just can't l just can't let the feeling go After we make love There's no doubt in my mind I've been touched by All that heaven and earth will allow All that matters is right here and now
All those lonely days and nights Were well worth going through I'm so glad I never gave my heart away It's like I waited all my life So I could give it all to you
I've been waiting such a long time For a love that's real to come my way It's gonna take some getting used to Now that love is here to stay
After we make love Feels so good to be lost in the afterglow After we make love I just can't l just can't let the feeling go After we make love There's no doubt in my mind I've been touched by All that heaven and earth will allow All that matters is right here and now All that matters is right here and now
Whatever Happened To Saturday Night? (aka "Hot Patootie - Bless My Soul") Composer(s): Richard O'Brien Performer(s): Meat Loaf
Eddie: Whatever happened to Saturday night? When you dressed up sharp and you felt alright It don't seem the same since cosmic light Came into my life, I thought I was divine I used to go for a ride with a chick who'd go And listen to the music on the radio A saxophone was blowing on a Rock and Roll show We climbed in the back seat, really had a good time Hot patootie, bless my soul Really love that Rock and Roll
(Hot patootie, bless my soul) (I really love that Rock and Roll) (Hot patootie, bless my soul) (I really love that Rock and Roll) (Hot patootie, bless my soul) (I really love that Rock and Roll)
Eddie: My head used to swim from the perfume I smelled My hands kinda fumbled with her white plastic belt I'd taste her baby pink lipstick and that's when I'd melt She'd whisper in my ear tonight she really was mine Get back in front and put some hair oil on Buddy Holly was singing his very last song With your arms around your girl, you try to sing along It felt pretty good.....Whoo! Really had a good time Hot patootie, bless my soul Really love that Rock and Roll
(Hot patootie, bless my soul (I really love that Rock and Roll) (Hot patootie, bless my soul) (I really love that Rock and Roll) (Hot patootie, bless my soul) (I really love that Rock and Roll)
(Hot patootie, bless my soul (I really love that Rock and Roll) (Hot patootie, bless my soul) (I really love that Rock and Roll) (Hot patootie, bless my soul) (I really love that Rock and Roll) (Hot patootie, bless my soul (I really love that Rock and Roll) (Hot patootie, bless my soul) (I really love that Rock and Roll) (Hot patootie, bless my soul) (I really love that Rock and Roll) (Hot patootie, bless my soul (I really love that Rock and Roll) (Hot patootie, bless my soul) (I really love that Rock and Roll)

Whatever Happened To Randolph Scott Composer(s): Don Reid; Harold Reid Performer(s): The Statler Brothers
Everybody knows when you go to the show You can't take the kids along You've gotta read the paper And know the code of GPG and R and X And you gotta know what the movie's about Before you even go Tex Ritter's gone and Disney's dead And the screen is filled with sex
Whatever happened to Randolph Scott Ridin' the train alone Whatever happened to Gene and Tex And Roy and Rex, The Durango Kid Oh, whatever happened to Randolph Scott His horse plain as could be Whatever happened to Randolph Scott Has happened to the best of me
Everybody's tryin' to make a comment About our doubts and fears True Grit's the only movie I've really understood in years You gotta take your analyst along To see if it's fit to see Whatever happened to Randolph Scott Has happened to the industry

After This Love Composer(s): Sheppard Soloman - John Clifford - Larry Tag Performer(s): Cliff Richard
I don't tell the future, but I can't care 'Cause when I lay beside you, it's enough that you're there Enough that you're there Just laying on our backs and falling in love What about tomorrow? What about the next day? What about the day after, the day after that, baby? What about after this love's gone? Is there a better love coming on? Is there a place in your heart for me? Is there a chance that we can't see? After this love is gone
If love was money we're spending, like a millionaire There could come a time when love is no longer there It's no longer there If we both come to our senses will we still be in love? Tell me, what about tomorrow? What about the next day? What about the day after, the day after that, baby?
What about after this love's gone? Is there a better love coming on? Is there a place in your heart for me? Is there a chance that we can't see? After this love is gone
Everything else comes down eventually And nothing lasts forever Or does it just keep getting better?
If we both come to our senses will we still be in love? Tell me, what about tomorrow? What about the next day? What about the day after, the day after that?
What about after this love's gone? Is there a better love coming on? Is there a place in your heart for me? Is there a chance that we can't see?
What about after this love's gone? Is there a better love coming on? Is there a place in your heart for me? Is there a chance that we can't see? After this love is gone After it's gone When it's gone
Whatever Happened To Peace On Earth? Composer(s): Willie Nelson Performer(s): Willie Nelson
There's so many things going on in the world Babies dying, mothers crying How much oil is one human life worth And what ever happened to peace on earth
We believe everything that they tell us They're gonna kill us So we gotta kill them first But I remember a commandment Thou shall not kill How much is that soldiers life worth And whatever happened to peace on earth
And the bewildered herd is still believing Everything weve been told from our birth Hell they wont lie to me Not on my own damn TV But how much is a liar's word worth And whatever happened to peace on earth
So I guess its just Do unto others before they do it to you Lets just kill em all and let God sort em out Is this what God wants us to do
And the bewildered herd is still believing Everything weve been told from our birth Hell they wont lie to me Not on my own damn TV But how much is a liars word worth And whatever happened to peace on earth
Now you probably wont hear this on your radio Probably not on your local TV But if theres a time, and if youre ever so inclined You can always hear it from me How much is one pickers word worth And whatever happened to peace on earth
But dont confuse caring for weakness You cant put that label on me The truth is my weapon of mass protection And I believe truth sets you free
And the bewildered herd is still believing Everything weve been told from our birth Hell they wont lie to me Not on my own damn TV But how much is a liars word worth And whatever happened to peace on earth
After The Waltz Is Over Composer(s): Mel Tormé - Bobby "BW" Wells Performer(s): Mel Tormé & George Shearing
After the waltz is over After the music ends After I held you so close in my arms Well be much more than friends After the waltz is over All conversation dies What could our lips say That we havent said with our eyes
I could waltz through life with you
Well make wedding bells chime In three-quarter time
I dont care if the partys ending Or if the clocks striking one I never dreamed when we danced at the start One little waltz could go straight to my heart After the waltz is over Well find that love has begun
I dont care if the partys ending Or if the clocks striking one I never dreamed when we danced at the start One little waltz could go straight to my heart Give me a little house and Let me have you for my spouse and Once we cadenza by Strauss and Let me go waltzing through life
Whatever Happened To Old Fashioned Love? Composer(s): Lewis Anderson Performer(s): Daniel O'Donnell; B.J. Thomas
We live in the modern age Where love is fast like a turning page In a magazine, we've hardly seen The friends we used to know They disappear, they come and go Like the times we've had It's kind of sad
Whatever happened to old fashioned love The kind that would see you through The kind of love my Momma and Daddy knew Yeah, whatever happened to old fashioned love The kind that would last through the years Through the trials Through the smiles Through the tears
Today is all we've planned We say tomorrow we'll understand If it all should end We'd be alone again
Oh, whatever happened to old fashioned love The kind that would see you through The kind of love my Momma and Daddy knew Yeah, whatever happened to old fashioned love The kind that would last through the years Through the trials Through the smiles Through the tears
For now the tenderness Has been replaced With something less And it's hard to find What we left behind
Oh, whatever happened to old fashioned love The kind that would see you through The kind of love my Momma and Daddy knew Yeah, whatever happened to old fashioned love The kind that would last through the years Through the trials Through the smiles Through the tears
An echo fades of sounds once heard By thousands brought together for His ringing voice, a soul that stirred The faithful to a mighty roar
For twenty years upon the stage For twenty years upon the stage The passion deep within his soul Brought forth the anger and the rage His vision locked upon one goal
The promises of rock and roll could Break the chains upon his life Guitar in hand he vowed he would Be free from pain and inner strife
He shook the rafters in the halls And brought the faithful to their feet His river coursed through mighty walls Across this land, down every street
With flag unfurled he took the word Across the seas to hungry youth Who raised their hands when e'er they heard His cries for faith, and hope, and truth
Today he stands with inner peace A man content with home and health Upon his brow a jagged crease A symbol of success and wealth
The thunder of his younger days Has passed, and now his words reveal A calmer soul in many ways Fulfilled with satisfactions real
His arms upraised against the light He stands alone, his eyes look toward The ground below, a bird in flight Still searching for his true reward
His mission done, he finds retreat With children and a loving wife His body tired from the heat The price he pays for touring life
But deep within the longings stir The music runs within him still His passions for the times that were Are stronger than his iron will
And all of us who know the man Will come together when he cries The message we all understand The thunder in us never dies
Whatever Happened To Benny Santini? Composer(s): Chris Rea Performer(s): Chris Rea
They say his chances could not have been better All the promise of a July sun in the morning sky Laughing at the peering faces From the windows of a limousine Caviar with the A & R and still only in his teens So whatever happened?
I can see him now, his face lit up in neon One hand up in the air as he turns towards the crowd His songs of silver arrows they tried to roll into gold With diamond tips from painted lips Designed and ready to be sold
They say he could not fall of They say he could not fail The wealth and fame would fire his flame Just as soon as his ship set sail So whatever happened?
Whatever happened to Benny Santini? Whatever happened to the guy on the wall? Where did he go to if he could not fall of They tell you they don't know They don't know at all
After The Thrill Is Gone Composer(s): Glenn Frey - Don Henley First release by: Eagles - 1975
Same dances in the same old shoes Some habits that you just can't lose There's no telling what a man might lose After the thrill is gone
The flame rises but it soon descends Empty pages and a frozen pen You're not quite lovers and you're not quite friends After the thrill is gone, oh, After the thrill is gone
What can you do when your dreams come true And it's not quite like you planned? What have you done to be losing the one You held it so tight in your hand well
Time passes and you must move on, Half the distance takes you twice as long So you keep on singing for the sake of the song After the thrill is gone After the thrill is gone
You're afraid you might fall out of fashion And you're feeling cold and small Any kind of love without passion That ain't no kind of lovin' at all, well
Same dances in the same old shoes You get too careful with the steps you choose you don't care about winning but you don't want to lose After the thrill is gone After the thrill is gone After the thrill is gone, oh After the thrill is gone
Whatever Gets You Thru The Night Composer(s): John Lennon Performer(s): John Lennon
