À Jeun Composer(s): Jacques Brel - Gérard Jouannest Performer(s): Jacques Brel
Parfaitement à jeun Vous me voyez surpris De ne pas trouver mon lit ici
Parfaitement à jeun Je le vois qui recule Je le vois qui bascule aussi
Guili guili guili
Viens-là mon petit lit Si tu ne viens pas t'a moi Ce n'est pas moi qui irai t'à toi Mais qui n'avance pas recule Comme dit Monsieur Dupneu Un mec qui articule Et qui est chef du contentieux
Parfaitement à jeun Je reviens d'une belle fête J'ai enterré Huguette ce matin
Parfaitement à jeun J'ai fait semblant d'pleurer Pour ne pas faire rater la fête
Z'étaient deux cents noirs Les voisins les amis Y avait qu'moi qu'était gris Dans cette foire Y avait beau-maman belle-papa Z'avez pas vu Mirza Et puis Monsieur Dupneu Qu'est chef du contentieux
Parfaitement à jeun En enterrant ma femme J'ai surtout enterré la maitresse d'André
Je n'l'ai su que c'matin Et par un enfant de chur Qui m'racontait qu'sa sur ah ça Il me reste deux solutions Ou bien frapper André Ou bien gnougnougnafié La femme d'André Sur son balcon Ou bien rester chez moi Feu-cocu mais joyeux C'est ce que me conseille André André André Dupneu Qu'est mon chef du contentieux
Parfaitement à jeun Vous me voyez surpris De ne pas trouver mon lit

Da janela o horizonte, a liberdade de uma estrada eu posso ver O meu pensamento voa livre em sonhos pra longe de onde estou Eu às vezes penso até onde essa estrada pode levar alguém Tanta gente já se arrependeu e eu Eu vou pensar Eu vou pensar
Quantas vezes eu pensei sair de casa mas eu desisti Pois eu sei lá fora eu não teria o que eu tenho agora aqui Meu pai me dá conselhos, minha mãe vive falando sem saber Que eu tenho meus problemas e que às vezes só eu posso resolver
Coisas da vida Choque de opiniões Coisas da vida Coisas da vida
Novamente eu penso ir embora viver a vida que eu quiser Caminhar no mundo enfrentando qualquer coisa que vier Penso andar sem rumo, pelas ruas, pela noite sem pensar No que vou dizer em casa, nem satisfações a dar
Penso duas vezes, me convenço que aqui é o meu lugar Lá fora às vezes chove, e é quase certo que eu vou querer voltar A noite é sempre fria quando não se tem um teto com amor E esse amor eu tenho mas esqueço às vezes de lhe dar valor
Tudo tem seu tempo, e uma vida inteira eu tenho pra viver E nessa vida é necessário a gente procurar compreender Coisas que aborrecem acontecem muitas vezes por amor E esse amor eu tenho esquecido às vezes de lhe dar valor
Yours Is No Disgrace Composer(s): Jon Anderson; Chris Squire; Steve Howe; Tony Kaye; Bill Bruford Performer(s): Yes
Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human race On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place If the summer changed to winter, yours is no disgrace
Battleships confide in me and tell me where you are Shining, flying, purple wolfhound, show me where you are Lost in summer, born in winter, travel very far Lost in losing circumstances, that's just where you are
Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human race On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place If the summer changed to winter, yours is no Yours is no disgrace Yours is no disgrace Yours is no disgrace
Death defying, mutilated armies scatter the earth Crawling out of dirty holes, their morals, their morals disappear
Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human, silly human race On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place If the summer changed to winter, yours is no Yours is no disgrace Yours is no disgrace Yours is no disgrace
A Hymn To Him ((Dutch Version: Een Loflied Op Hem (Wim Sonneveld)) Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe Performer(s): Rex Harrison and multiple other artists
Women are irrational, that's all there is to that! There heads are full of cotton, hay, and rags! They're nothing but exasperating, irritating vacillating, calculating, agitating Maddening and infuriating hats!
Why can't a woman be more like a man? Men are so honest, so thoroughly square Eternally noble, historic'ly fair Who, when you win, will always give your back a pat Why can't a woman be like that?
Why does ev'ryone do what the others do? Can't a woman learn to use her head? Why do they do ev'rything their mothers do? Why don't they grow up like their father instead? Why can't a woman take after a man?
Men are so pleasant, so easy to please Whenever you're with them, you're always at ease Would you be slighted if I didn't speak for hours? Would you be livid if I had a drink or two? Would you be wounded if I never sent you flowers? Why can't a woman be like you?
One man in a million may shout a bit Now and then there's one with slight defects One, perhaps, whose truthfulness you doubt a bit But by and large we are a marvelous sex!
Why can't a woman behave like a man? Men are so friendly, good natured and kind A better companion you never will find If I were hours late for dinner, would you bellow? If I forgot your silly birthday, would you fuss? Would you complain if I took out another fellow? Why can't a woman be like us?
Why can't a woman be more like a man? Men are so decent, such regular chaps Ready to help you through any mishaps Ready to buck you up whenever you are glum Why can't a woman be a chum?
Why is thinking something women never do? Why is logic never even tried? Straight'ning up their hair is all they ever do Why don't they straighten up the mess that's inside? Why can't a woman be more like a man?
If I were a woman who'd been to a ball Been hailed as a princess by one and by all Would I start weeping like a bathtub over flowing? And carry on as if my home were in a tree? Would I run off and never tell me where I'm going? Why can't a woman be like me?
Yours And Mine Composer(s): Arthur Freed; Nacio Herb Brown Performer(s): Judy Garland; and various other artists
Love can come along in the strangest ways It looks at a lucky couple and sets their hearts ablaze I can feel that fire in my happy heart For we are the lucky couple look what we have for a start
The stars that shine are Yours and Mine The rainbows in the sky are Yours and Mine The song of springtime the lullaby of fall The sunshine of summertime belongs to us all
The moon above is Yours and Mine The right to fall in love is Yours and Mine The hope of finding the dream our hearts design All this is yours and mine
A Hundred Years From Today Composer(s): Victor Young - Ned Washington - Joseph Young First performance/First recording by: Katherine Perry - 1933/Peggy Lee - 1947 Covered by multiple other artists
Don't save your kisses just pass them around You'll find my reason is logically sound Who's gonna know that you passed them around A hundred years from today
Why crave a penthouse that's fit for a queen You're nearer heaven on mother earth's green If you had millions what would they all mean A hundred years from today
So laugh and sing Make love the thing Be happy while you may There's always one Beneath the sun who's bound to make you feel that way
The moon is shining and that's a good sign Cling to me closer and say you'll be mine Remember darling we won't see it shine A hundred years from today A hundred years from today
The moon is shining and that's a good sign Cling to me closer and say you'll be mine Remember darling we won't see it shine A hundred years from today A hundred years from today
Yours Spanish Title: Quiereme Mucho Composer(s): Gonzalo Roig; Augustin Rodriguez; Jack Sherr Performer(s): Dinah Shore; and various other artists
Yours till the stars lose their glory Yours till the birds fail to sing Yours to the end of life's story This pledge to you, dear, I bring
Yours in the grey of December Here, or on far distant shores I've never loved anyone the way I love you How could I, when I was born to be just yours
This night has music, the sweetest music It echoes somewhere within my heart I hold you near me, so, darling, hear me I have a message I must impart
Yours till the stars lose their glory Yours till the birds fail to sing Yours to the end of life's story This pledge to you, dear, I bring
Yours in the grey of December Here, or on far distant shores I've never loved anyone the way I love you How could I when I was born to be just yours Just yours When I was born to be just yours
A Hundred Years From Now Composer(s): Lester Flatt - Earl Scruggs Performer(s): Elvis Presley and multiple other artists
Well a hundred years from now I won't be crying A hundred years from now I won't be blue My heart will have to forget that we ever met But I won't care a hundred years from now
I'll never forget sweetheart the night you told me That you could Live without my love somehow That's all in the past I knew it wouldn't last But I won't care a hundred years from now

Avec une poignée de terre Il a crée le monde Et quand il eut crée la terre Tout en faisant sa ronde Le Seigneur jugeant en somme Qu'il manquait le minimum Il créa la femme et l'amour Qu'elle a donné aux hommes Oui c'est vrai!
Avec une poignée de terre Il a crée les lèvres Et tes deux bras quand ils me serrent Pour me donner la fièvre Et je pense à chaque instant Que celle que j'aime tant Le Seigneur l'a fait Rien qu'avec une poignée de terre Oui c'est vrai! Oui c'est vrai!
Marchant à grands pas Allant de-ci de-là De la terre il ramassa Puis ses manches il retroussa Et de ses mains il façonna La divine et douce personne Celle que tout le monde nomme L'éternelle dame pour l'amour Qu'elle a donné aux hommes Oui c'est vrai!
Avec une poignée de terre Voilà ce que le Seigneur a fait Avec une poignée de terre Oui c'est vrai!
You're The Top Composer(s): Cole Porter Performer(s): Ethel Merman; and various other artists
At words poetic, I'm so pathetic That I always have found it best Instead of getting 'em off my chest To let 'em rest unexpressed I hate parading my serenading As I'll probably miss a bar But if this ditty is not so pretty At least it'll tell you how great you are

The things you say don't always hurt me But things you do don't always make me cry The things you do they don't always hurt me But when they hurt me you're the reason why The things you do are without reason The things for me to do is let it lie But when I lie the pain ain't easin' You know the reason you're the reason why Sometime's I'm up sometime's I'm down Sometime's I don't know where I'm going anyway Sometimes I feel just like a clown And I don't know where I'm going And I just don't know the way The things you say don't always hurt me . . .

A Hundred And Ten In The Shade Composer(s): John Fogerty First release by: John Fogerty - 1997
Way out there in the cotton Sun beatin' down so hard Sweat rollin' of this shovel Diggin' in the devil's boneyard Sure like a cool drink of water Soft rag to soothe my face Sure like a woman to talk to in this place
It's a hundred and ten Hundred and ten in the shade Goin' way down Mama won't you carry me
Handle so hot I can't stand it Might shrivel up and blow away Noonday sun make you crazy Least, that's what the old men say
Bottom land hard as a gravestone Couldn't cut it with an axe Gonna lay me down right here And that's a fact
It's a hundred and ten Hundred and ten in the shade Goin' way down Mama won't you carry me
Sometimes late in the evenin' Everything is quiet and still I set here and think about leavin' Lord, I guess I never will Heartache down in that city Bright light scares me anyway Sure like a woman to talk in this place
It's a hundred and ten Hundred and ten in the shade Goin' way down Mama won't you carry me

County You ought to see the things that they do All the cowboys down on the Sunset Strip Wish that they could be like you The Santa Monica Freeway Sometimes makes a country girl blue You're the reason God made Oklahoma You're the reason God made Oklahoma And I'm sure missing you
