I want to spend my life with a girl like you, ba ba ba ba And do all the things that you want me to, ba ba ba ba 'Til that time has come that we might live as one Can I dance with you, ba ba ba ba
I can tell by the way you dress that you're so refined, ba ba ba ba And by the way you talk that you're just my kind, ba ba ba ba Girl why should it be that you don't notice me Can I dance with you, ba ba ba ba
Baby baby, is there no chance I can take you for the last dance All night long, yeah, I've been waiting Now there'll be no hesitating
So before this dance has reached the end, ba ba ba ba To you across the floor my love I'll send, ba ba ba ba I just hope and pray that I'll find a way to say Can I dance with you, ba ba ba ba
Witchy Woman Composer(s): Bernie Leadon; Don Henley Performer(s): The Eagles
Raven hair and ruby lips Sparks fly from her finger tips Echoed voices in the night She's a restless spriit on an endless flight Woo-hoo witchy woman, see how high she flies Woo-hoo witchy woman, she got the moon in her eyes She held me spellbound in the night Dancing shadows and firelight Crazy laughter in another room You know she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon Ah I know you want to love her, but let me tell you brother She's been sleeping in the devil's bed There's some rumors going round Someone's underground She can rock you in the night until your skin turns red
Alô, liberdade Desculpa eu vir Assim sem avisar Mas já era tarde E os galos tão Cansados de cantar
Bom dia, alegria A minha companhia Vai cantar Sutil melodia Pra te acordar
Quem vai querer tocar trombeta Pem pererém pererém Pempem Quem vai querer tocar matraca Tracatracatraca Tracatraca Quem vai de flauta e clarineta Fi firiri Firiri fifi Quem é que vai de prato e facaa Taca cheque taca Chequetaca checá Quem vai querer sair da banda Pan pararan Pararan panpan Hoje a banda sairá
Alô, liberdade levante, lava o rosto Fica em pé Como é, liberdade ... Vou ter que requentar O teu café
Bom dia, alegria A minha companhia Vai cantar Em doce harmonia Pra te alegrar
Quem vem com a boca no trombone Pom pororom pororom pompom Quem vem com a bossa no pandeiro Chá carachá Carachá chachá E quem toca só toca telefone Trim tiririm Tiririm trimtrim E quem só canta no chuveiro Trá tralalá Tralalá lalá Quem vai querer sair na banda Pan panpan Hoje a banda sairá Laiaralaialaialaiá Hoje a banda sairá Olá, liberdade!
Neem Eens Een Kind Bij De Hand ((Ode Aan Maastricht (Benny Neyman) - 1979)) ((Adapted from: Prendre Un Enfant (Yves Duteil) - 1978)) Composer(s): Yves Duteil - Henri Heymans - Luk Vandriessche Performer(s): Paul Roelandt - 1980
Versions In Other Languages: 1986 - Gib Einem Kind Deine Hand (Nana Mouskouri) 1987 - Taking A Child By The Hand (Nana Mouskouri)
Neem eens een kind bij de hand het neemt je mee naar het land van duizend dromen, een sprookje gelijk een kind is de koning te rijk Neem eens een kind bij de hand je hart haalt het op je verstand je maakt een gebaar dat de wereld omspant Neem eens een kind bij de hand
Neem eens een kind op je schoot al is zijn verdriet nog zo groot een enkel lief woord kan soms wonderen doen als dank krijg je steevast een zoen Neem eens een kind op je schoot en voel je eens een keer niet te groot om paardje te spelen, of krijger, of piloot Neem eens een kind op je schoot
Neem eens een kind aan je hart zijn wereld is echt heel apart je hoeft niet veel woorden, doe liefst heel gewoon een kind deelt met jou van zijn woord Neem eens een kind aan je hart al maakt het je eerst wat verward Jarenlang leef je alleen of met twee plots leeft een kind met je mee plots leeft een kind met je mee
Alms For The Beggarman Composer(s): Dennis DeYoung Performer(s): Dennis DeYoung
Clopin and Friends Alms for the beggar man Please help the indigent of Paris Madame I need a bit of sympathy
Alms for the beggar man Who's there, don't be afraid of touching me Blindness is not exactly leprosy
Alms for the beggar man Kind sir can you spare a franc for some food I'll take any gift you give but shoes
Alms for the beggar man Hey look, these were hiding inside my clothes At last I've got some hands to pick my nose
My God it's a miracle My eyes have suddenly begun to see Turns out it was just this handkerchief
Mais oui, call the doctors and physicians
To see
My legs in excellent reconditioned
We three, suddenly have found religion
Look in my eyes
At my arms
And my legs
And you'll see a true epiphany
We are the kings of lies disguise and deception When we beg or steal it's devoid of detection Real work is simply out of the question There's no occupation For gypsies crooks and thieves So come on boys let's count up all the donations Split the take and have a little libation Hard work deserves a little vacation A celebration, so join us in this dance
Alms for the beggar men Reach out for someone who truly needs
We are the beggar men We'll take anything you have to give Voilà we have to live
Witches Hat Composer(s): Robin Williamson Performer(s): Robin Williamson; The Incredible String Band
Certainly The children have seen them In quiet places where the moss grows green Coloured shells Jangle together The wind is cold, the year is old The trees whisper together And bent in the wind they lean
If I was a witches hat Sitting on her head like a paraffin stove I'd fly away and be a bat Across the air I would rove Stepping like a tightrope walker Putting one foot after another Wearing black cherries for rings
If I was a witches hat Sitting on her head like a telegraph pole Id fly away and be a bat Across the air I would roll Stepping like a tightrope walker Putting one foot after another Wearing black cherries for rings
Almost There Composer(s): Gloria Shayne Performer(s): Andy Williams
Almost there, we're almost there We're, we're almost there How wonderful, wonderful our love will be For you, for me

Almost Said Goodbye Composer(s): Peter Frampton - Dennis Greaves - Mark Hudson Performer(s): Peter Frampton
Living inside myself I -- Didn't need no one else I was alright Yeah -- Alright Yeah Every night was lonely -- And nobody ever told me Look inside -- Look inside I was blind and I couldn't see that was right in front of me You could tell that I lived in a shadow Locked away in my darkness and pain And my heart was shut down and in prison You were sent here to free it again And the moment I almost went under you came through cause I almost said goodbye Shattered and broke down I -- Was hopin to turn it round There's no way -- There's no way I couldn't find a reason -- When there's nothing to believe in Anyway -- Anyway I was blind and I couldn't see what was right in front of me I been contemplating -- Been so down I wanna die Almost said goodbye And in the end I -- Hope I find a friend who's Just like you -- Just like you Happiness surrounds you Now that I finally found me too -- Me and you
Witchcraft Composer(s): Carolyn Leigh; Cy Coleman Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; and various other artists
Those fingers in my hair That sly come-hither stare That strips my conscience bare It's witchcraft
And I've got no defense for it The heat is too intense for it What good would common sense for it do?
'Cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft And although I know it's strictly taboo When you arouse the need in me My heart says "Yes indeed" in me Proceed with what you're leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch But one that I wouldn't switch 'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
'Cause it's witchcraft, that crazy witchcraft And although I know it's strictly taboo When you arouse the need in me My heart says "Yes indeed" in me Proceed with what you're leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch But one that I'd never switch 'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
Almost Persuaded Composer(s): Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton First release by: David Houston - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
Last night all alone in a barroom Met a girl with a drink in her hand She had ruby red lips, coal black hair And eyes that would tempt any man
Then she came and sat down at my table As she placed her soft hands in mine I found myself wanting to kiss her For temptation was flowing like wine
And I was almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride Almost persuaded to push my conscience aside Then we danced and she whispered, "I need you Take me away from here and be my man"
Then I looked into her eyes and saw it The reflection of my wedding band And I was almost persuaded to let strange lips lead me on Almost persuaded but your sweet love made me stop and go home
Witch Doctor Composer(s): Ross Bagdasarian Performer(s): David Seville; and various other artists
I told the witch doctor I was in love with you I told the witch doctor you didn't love me too And then the witch doctor, he told me what to do He said that ....
I told the witch doctor you didn't love me true I told the witch doctor you didn't love me nice And then the witch doctor, he game me this advice He said to ...
[Chorus]
Now, you've been keeping love from me Just like you were a miser And I'll admit I wasn't very smart So I went out and found myself A guy that's so much wiser And he taught me the way to win your heart
My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to say My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to do I know that you'll be mine when I say this to you Oh, Baby ....
Wishing Well Composer(s): John "Rabbit" Bundrick; Simon Kirke; Paul Kossoff; Paul Rodgers; Tetsu Yamauchi Performer(s): Free
Take off your hat kick off your shoes I know you ain't going anywhere Run 'round the town singing your blues I know you ain't going anywhere
You have always been a good friend of mine but you're always saying farewell and the only time that you are satisfied is with your feet in the wishing well
Throw down your gun you might shoot yourself or is that what you are tryin' to do put up a fight you believe to be right and someday the sun will shine through
You have always got something to hide something you just can't tell and the only time that you are satisfied is with your feet in the wishing well
Oh! But I know what you're wishing for Love and a peaceful world Yeah Love and a peaceful world Oh! Yeah Love and a peaceful world
You have always been a good friend of mine but you're always saying farewell and the only time that you are satisfied is with your feet in the wishing....well
Yes I wish you well I wish you well everybody has a wish everybody has a dream I wish you well
Almost Medieval Composer(s): Ian Craig Marsh - Philip Oakey Performer(s): The Human League
There's something in your soul that makes me feel so old In fact I think I've died about six hundred times There's less of me now and more of me then I'm moving back to the age of men
Jump off the tarmac there's no stagecoach speed limit Outside the office hangs the man on the gibbet Soft lenses Grow to glasses Small world Dimly seen through cataracts Your program Newspaper So they say Rumour spread by word of mouth Jump onto the escalator Press the button on the lift Raise the dust on old stair carpets Endless treads like waves of regret Now it seems I'm going madder Falling off this rotting ladder
Soft lenses Grow to glasses Small world Dimly seen through cataracts Jump onto the escalator Press the button on the lift Raise the dust on old stair carpets Endless treads like waves of regret Now it seems I'm going madder Falling off this rotting ladder
Your program Newspaper So they say Rumour spread by word of mouth Jump onto the escalator Press the button on the lift Raise the dust on old stair carpets Endless treads like waves of regret Now it seems I'm going madder Falling through this rotting ladder
There's something in your soul that makes me feel so old In fact I think I've died about six hundred times There's less of me now and more of me then I'm moving back to the age of men
Jump off the tarmac there's no stagecoach speed limit Outside the office hangs the man on the gibbet Jump off the tarmac there's no stagecoach speed limit Outside the office swings the man on the gibbet
