Te adoré desde que te vi mi alma te entregué y por ti soy feliz
Where Did You Get That Hat? Composer(s): James Rolmaz Performer(s): Stanley Holloway; Al Simmons
Now how I came to get this hat, 'tis very strange and funny Grandfather died and left to me his property and money And when the will it was read out, they told me straight and flat If I would have his money, I must always wear his hat
Chorus "Where did you get that hat? Where did you get that tile? Isn't it a nobby one, and just the proper style? I should like to have one Just the same as that!" Where'er I go, they shout "Hello! Where did you get that hat?"
If I go to the op'ra house, in the op'ra season There's someone sure to shout at me without the slightest reason If I go to a concert hall to have a jolly spree There's someone in the party who is sure to shout at me
Chorus
At twenty-one I thought I would to my sweetheart get married The people in the neighbourhood had said too long we'd tarried So off to church we went right quick, determined to get wed I had not long been in there, when the parson to me said
Chorus
I once tried hard to be M.P. but failed to get elected Upon a tub I stood, round which a thousand folks collected And I had dodged the eggs and bricks (which was no easy task) When one man cried, "A question I the candidate would ask!"
Chorus
When Colonel South, the millionaire, gave his last garden party I was amongst the guests who had a welcome true and hearty The Prince of Wales was also there, and my heart jumped with glee When I was told the Prince would like to have a word with me

He vuelto a aquel banco del Parque Lezama Lo mismo que entonces se oye en la noche la sorda sirena de un barco lejano Mis ojos nublados, te buscan en vano Despues de diez años he vuelto aqui solo sonando aquel tiempo, oyendo aquel barco El tiempo y la lluvia, el viento y la muerte ya todo llevaron, ya nada dejaron
En que soledades de hondos dolores en cuales regiones de negros malvones estas, Alejandra? Por cuales caminos con grave tristeza oh, muerta princesa?
He vuelto a aquel banco del Parque Lezama Lo mismo que entonces se oye en la noche la sorda sirena de un barco lejano Mis ojos nublados, te buscan en vano Despues de diez años he vuelto aqui solo sonando aquel tiempo, oyendo aquel barco El tiempo y la lluvia, el viento y la muerte ya todo llevaron, ya nada dejaron
Where Did You Get That Girl? Composer(s): Bert Kalmar; Harry Puck
Lonesome Johnnie Warner, sitting in a corner of a swell cafe eating his heart away because he had no girl at another table, sat a girl named Mable
with a fellow who Johnnie knew and his brain began to whirl The girl had caught his eye and John began to cry
Johnnie found a corker, started in to walk her down the avenue Down to the parson who would make them man and wife Parson Lee received him, and when he relieved him of the marriage fee Parson Lee said never on my life, have I seen such a miss say Johnnie tell me this
Where did you get that girl? Oh! you lucky devil Where did you get that girl? tell me on the level Have you ever kissed her if she has a sister lead me, lead me, lead me to her mister Gee! I wish that I had a girl I'd love 'er I'd love er Oh goodness how I'd love er If you can find another, I'll take her home to mother Where! Where! Where did you get that girl?
Where did you get that girl? Oh! you lucky devil Where did you get that girl? tell me on the level Have you ever kissed her if she has a sister lead me, lead me, lead me to her mister Gee! I wish that I had a girl I'd love er I'd love er Oh goodness how I'd love er If she's here long I'm liable to give away my bible Where! Where! Where did you get that girl?
Caminhando contra o vento, sem lenço, sem documento No sol de quase dezembro, eu vou O sol se reparte em crimes, espaçonaves, guerrilhas Em Cardinales bonitas, eu vou
Em caras de presidentes, em grandes beijos de amor Em dentes, pernas, bandeiras, bomba e Brigite Bardot
O sol nas bancas de revista me enche de alegria e preguiça Quem lê tanta notícia Eu vou por entre fotos e nomes os olhos cheios de cores O peito cheio de amores vãos Eu vou, por que não? Por que não?
Ela pensa em casamento, e eu nunca mais fui à escola Sem lenço, sem documento, eu vou Eu tomo uma coca-cola, ela pensa em casamento E uma canção me consola, eu vou Por entre fotos e nomes, sem livros e sem fuzil Sem fone e sem telefone no coração do Brasil
Ela nem sabe, até pensei em cantar na televisão O sol é tão bonito Eu vou sem lenço, sem documento, nada no bolso ou nas mãos Eu quero seguir vivendo, amor
Eu vou, por que não? Por que não? Por que não? Por que não? Por que não?
Where Did Robinson Crusoe Go (With Friday On Saturday Night)?
Where Did Robinson Crusoe Go (With Friday On Saturday Night)? Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis; Joe Young; George W. Meyer Performer(s): Al Jolson; and various other artists
Over a thousand years, or maybe more Out on an island on a lonely shore Robinson Crusoe landed one fine day No rent to pay No wife to obey His good man Friday was his only friend He didn't borrow or lend They built a little hut Lived there till Friday, but Saturday night it was shut
Where did Robinson Crusoe go with Friday on Saturday night? Every Saturday night they would start in to roam And on Sunday morning they'd come staggering home They went hunting for rabbits when the weather grew colder But Crusoe came home with a hare on his shoulder Now, where did Robinson Crusoe go with Friday on Saturday night?
Robinson Crusoe was a good old scout Robinson Crusoe knew his way about He'd go out hunting chickens now and then But he knew when He was chasing a hen Once he told Friday, "You must stay at home I've got to go out alone" Friday felt very blue He said, "It's wrong of you Couldn't you fix it for two?"
Where did Robinson Crusoe go with Friday on Saturday night? One fine Saturday night they had nothing to do So they started counting all the girlies they knew Friday counted to thirteen, and Crusoe said, "Brother You know, thirteen's unlucky Let's go get another" So, where did Robinson Crusoe go with Friday on Saturday night?
Where did Robinson Crusoe go with Friday on Saturday night? Every Saturday night they would start in to roam And on Sunday morning they'd come staggering home On this island lived wild men and cannibal crimmin And you know where there are wild men, there must be wild women So, where did Robinson Crusoe go with Friday on Saturday night?
Aldonza Composer(s): Joe Darion - Mitch Leigh Performer(s): Jacques Brel
Je suis née comme une chienne une nuit où il pleuvait Je suis née et ma mère est partie en chantant Et je ne sais rien d'elle que la haine que j'en ai J'aurais dû venir au monde en mourant
Eh bien sûr, il y a mon père, on dit, on dit souvent Que les filles gardent leur père au profond de leur cur Mais je n'ai pas su mon père, mon père était plusieurs Car mon père était un régiment Je ne peux même pas dire s'ils étaient andalous ou prussiens Sont-ils morts vers le nord, sont-ils morts vers le sud Je n'en sais rien!
Une Dame, et comment veut-il que je sois une Dame?
J'ai grandi comme une chienne de carrefour en carrefour J'ai grandi et trop tôt sur la paille des mules De soldat en soldat, de crapule en crapule J'ai connu les bienfaits de l'amour Et je vis comme une bête, je fais ça comme on se mouche Et je vis sans savoir ni pour qui ni pour quoi Pour un sou je me lève, pour deux sous je me couche Pour trois sous je fais n'importe quoi! Si vous ne me croyez guère, pour trois sous venez voir le restant De la plus folle des fiancés au plus crapuleux des brigands de la terre
Mais chassez donc vos nuages et regardez-moi telle que je suis Une Dame, une vraie Dame a une vertu, a une âme Dieu de Dieu, de tous les pires salauds que j'ai connus Vous qui parlez d'étoile, vous qui montrez le ciel Vous êtes bien le plus infâme, le plus cruel Frappez-moi, je préfère le fouet à vos chimères Frappez-moi jusqu'au feu, jusqu'au sol, jusqu'à terre Mais gardez votre tendresse, rendez-moi mon désespoir Je suis née sur le fumier et j'y repars Mais je vous en supplie, ne me parlez plus de Dulcinéa Vous voyez bien que je ne suis rien, je ne suis qu'Aldonza la putain
Alcina De Jesus Composer(s): Nino Ferrer Performer(s): Nino Ferrer
Son pays c'est tellement loin Au bout du continent Et pourtant ce n'est qu'une enfant Mais elle a dû partir Elle travaille chez des gens très gentils Elle s'occupe de leur bébé joli Pendant que là-bas c'est le printemps Et fleurit la révolution
Il y a des gens dans les rues Qui chantent la liberté Le monde est en train de changer Mais elle n'en voit rien du tout Alcina de Jesus
Pourtant c'est comme un parfum Amer comme un premier amour Et ça ne dure qu'un temps très court Puis on est vieux pour toujours Alcina de Jesus
Where Could I Go But To The Lord Composer(s): James B. Coats Performer(s): Emmylou Harris
Living below in this old sinful world Hardly a comfort can afford Striving alone to face temptation so Now won't you tell me Where could I go but to the Lord
Where could I go oh where could I go Seeking the refuge for my soul Needing a friend to save me in the end Won't you tell me Where could I go but to the Lord
Life here is grand with friends I love so dear Comfort I get from God's own word Yet when I face that chilling hand of death Won't you tell me Where could I go but to the Lord
Where could I go oh where could I go Seeking the refuge for my soul Needing a friend to save me in the end Won't you tell me Where could I go but to the Lord
Albino Moon Composer(s): Barry Hay - G. Kooymans Performer(s): Golden Earring
Oh you look real good in your blue jeans and a pink sweater But in a cocktail dress I guess, you look even better!
I got your photograph, so your memories line up on the table But your gone with the wind, and I wish I was dead! Just like Clark Gable.......
The sun goes down for a lonely four Like darkness and the temple of doom I need the God alive Tell me, what am I supposed to do?
Albino moon, where' you been tonight, hidin' behind the cloud, albino moon Albino moon, what's it all about, hidin' behind the cloud, albino moon Am I blind or am I right? Or you light into my room make my baby find her way back home, real soon Albino moon!
With your red lips on my daydream, imagine we're together In the backseat of my car, on the shiny white leather
I got your photograph, so your memories line up on the table But your gone with the wind, and I wish I was dead! Just like Clark Gable
The sun goes down for a lonely four Like darkness and the temple of doom I need the God alive Tell me, what am I supposed to do?
Albino moon, where' you been tonight, hidin' behind the cloud, albino moon Albino moon, what's it all about, hidin' behind the cloud, albino moon Am I blind or am I right? Or you light into my room make my baby find her way back home, real soon Albino moon!
Where Can I Go Without You? Dutch Title: Wat Moet Ik Doen Zonder Jou? Composer(s): Peggy Lee; Victor Young Performer(s): Peggy Lee; and various other artists
I went to Londontown To clear up my mind Then on to Paris For the fun I couldn't find I found I couldn't leave my memories behind Where can I go without you?
Tried seeing Singapore But that wouldn't do Went to Vienna But I found you there, too Even in Switzerland, your memory came through Where can I go without you?
I wanted travel, I wanted romance I chased that rainbow across the sea I'm tired of faces, and quaint old places If you can't be there with me
Back on the boat again And farewell to France Farewell to Londontown They haven't a chance I'll trade the sights I've seen For just one loving glance Where can I go without you?
I'm tired of faces, and quaint old places If you can't be there with me
Back on the boat again And farewell to France Farewell to Londontown They haven't a chance I'll trade the sights I've seen For just one loving glance Where can I go without you?
Alberta's Child Composer(s): Ian Tyson Performer(s): Ian Tyson
Well, them old boys down in Texas chew Copenhagen Wash it all down with that Coors Ain't a bit bashful about speakin' their minds They'll tell you what's theirs and what's yours There's Waylon and there's Willie, they own about half the state And sing of her glories all in song Talk about your lovers and your fighters wild brahma bull riders The whole thing take a holt and goes on
Ride with me, Jesus, help me pull this heavy load Don't let her slip, don't let her slide You answer all our questions further down this muddy road Old cowboys cross the Great Divide
Well, up north it's saddle broncs and it's hockey and honky tonks Old Wilf Carter 78's Dumb stuff like chores when it's twenty below They're the things that a country boy hates Too much damn wind and not enough whiskey Drives them ol' northern boys flat wild And he may go to Hell, or even Vancouver He'll always be Alberta's child
Ride with me, Jesus, help me pull this heavy load Don't let her slip, don't let her slide You answer all our questions further down this muddy road Old cowboys cross the Great Divide
Where Are You Now (My Love) Composer(s): Tony Hatch; Jackie Trent Performer(s): Jackie Trent
La,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la
When shadows of evening gently fall The memory of you I soon recall We walked in the rain You kissed me, whispered my name Where are you now my love Where are you now my love
Life was fine, full of the wonder of the spring You taught me that love meant everything I gave you my heart Not dreaming we'd ever part Where are you now my love Where are you now my love
While I'm sitting here I'm wondering what went wrong You'll find your empty arms will tell you, you belong to me You'll come to me
And see how I've been waiting every day Just hoping that you'll come back to stay But I don't know when I'll ever see you again Where are you now my love Where are you now my love
Alberta Bound Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot and multiple other artists
Oh the prairie lights are burnin' bright The Chinook wind is a-movin' in Tomorrow night I'll be Alberta bound Though I've done the best I could My old luck ain't been so good and Tomorrow night I'll be Alberta bound No one-eyed man could e'er forget The Rocky Mountain sunset It's a pleasure just to be Alberta bound I long to see my next of kin To know what kind of shape they're in Tomorrow night I'll be Alberta bound
Alberta bound, Alberta bound It's good to be Alberta bound Alberta bound, Alberta bound It's good to be Alberta bound
Oh the skyline of Toronto Is somethin' you'll get onto But they say you've got to live there for a while And if you got the money You can get yourself a honey A written guarantee ta make you smile But it's snowin' in the city And the streets and brown and gritty And I know there's pretty girls all over town But they never seem ta find me And the one I left behind me Is the reason that I'll be Alberta bound
Alberta bound, Alberta bound It's good to be Alberta bound Alberta bound, Alberta bound It's good to be Alberta bound It's good to be Alberta bound
Alberta Composer(s): Leadbelly - Alan Lomax Performer(s): Leadbelly

Where Are You? Composer(s): Harold Adamson; Jimmy McHugh Performer(s): Frank Sinatra and multiple other artists
Where are you Where have you gone without me I thought you cared about me Where are you Where's my heart Where is the dream we started I can't believe we're parted Where are you When we said good-bye love What had we to gain When I gave you my love Was it all in vain All life through Must I go on pretending Where is my happy ending Where are you When we said good-bye love What had we to gain When I gave you my love Was it all in vain All life through Must I go on pretending Where is that happy ending Where are you Where are you
Albert Flasher Composer(s): Burton Cummings Performer(s): The Guess Who; Randy Bachman
I was a workshop owner in the gulch for the people And I offered myself to the world I was a workshop owner I was a workshop owner
I was a diesel fixer, fixed a diesel, diesel fixed me What a weasel And baby was a workshop owner Baby was a workshop owner
Baby and me were ripe for the pickin' That was the day we ran into Albert Flasher
It was a cold, snowy, rainy afternoon And we were sittin' there in high school, my school And Michael was a moonbeam maker And Michael was a moonbeam maker
I was a diesel fixer, fixed a diesel, diesel fixed me What a weasel, oh no Baby was a workshop owner Baby was a workshop owner
Baby and me were ripe for the pickin' That was the day we ran into Albert Flasher
I was a workshop owner in the gulch for the people And I offered myself to the world I was a workshop owner I was a workshop owner I was a workshop owner
Where Am I? (Am I In Heaven?) Composer(s): Al Dubin; Harry Warren Performer(s): James Melton; and various other artists
I was a dreamer but I didn't even venture to think someone like you could care Now life has turned into a beautiful adventure I never knew that life on earth could be so fair
Where am I, am I in heaven or am I really with you Who are you, are you an angel Or just a dream that's too good to be true
Can moonlight be so enchanting Can kisses be so divine Where am I, am I in heaven Can it be true that you are mine
Can moonlight be so enchanting Can kisses be so divine Where am I, am I in heaven Can it be true that you are mine
