I don't ever want to see you crying And I don't ever want to see you blue oh no, all I ever wanted to do was know you And maybe hope you could know me too Well I don't ever want to make you sorry For anything you've ever said or done Oh no, all I ever wanted to do was love you And maybe hope you could love me too And it's all right baby, I'm in love with you And it's all right, I would never make you blue or try to play with you
Well I don't ever want to spoil your party, babe Or tell you where to go or what to do Oh no, all I ever wanted to do was know you There may be hope you could know me too And it's all right baby, I'm in love with you And it's all right, I would never make you blue or try to play with you
Well I don't ever want to spoil your party, babe Or tell you where to go or what to do Oh no, all I ever wanted to do was love you There may be hope you could love me too

There's rumours of war Men dying and women crying If you breathe air, you'll die Perhaps you wonder the reason why But wait! Don't you worry A new day is dawning We'll catch the sun, and away we'll fly..

Dinner With Drac Composer(s): Cory - Hayden Performer(s): John Zacherle
A dinner was served for three At Dracula's house by the sea The hors dourvres were fine But I choked on my wine When I learned that the main course was me
The waitress, a vampire named Perkins Was so very fond of small gherkins While serving tea She ate forty-three Which pickled her internal workings
Igor the scalpels go on the left With the pitchforks, Igor, Igor!
What a swimmer is Dracula's daughter But they use her pool less than they oughtta When her guests dive in there, they just disappear The blood stains the boats, but its easy to float Because blood is much thicker than water
Dracula, old friend, how are things in Transylvania
For dessert there was batwing confetti And the veins of a mummy named Betty I first frowned upon it But with ketchup on it It tasted very much like spaghetti
Ave, Maria, ave, Maria Chi ha, sofferto, viene da te Da, te che sai cos'e', la miseria e il dolore Dei giorni umani, maria le mani Ave, (ave) Maria, ave (ave) Maria Tu che hai dato, il figlio che hai Per, riscattere noi Sai, capire chi piange, chi ha sempre meno Maria il tuo seno
Ave, (ave) Maria, (ave) ave, (ave) Maria C'e', la notte, negli occhi miei Maria, rischiara il mio cammino E, portami lontano Ave, Maria Ave Maria, ave Maria Ave Maria, ave Maria Ave Maria, ave Maria Ave Maria, ave Maria Ave

Pobre Diablo Composer(s): Ramón Arcusa - Manuel de la Calva - Julio Iglesias - Fred Jorge Performer(s): Julio Iglesias; Alexandre Pires
Hoy pasaste por mi lado sin fijarte, sin mirarme de otros brazos
No quisiera ni pensarlo pero sigo como un tonto enamorado
Quien pudiera estar contigo y ser el otro Yo sabría retenerte poco a poco Y es que a fuerza de ignorarme has conseguido Que te quiera como a nadie yo he querido
Tú no sabes que se siente cuando alguien que tú quieres no te quiere
Quién diría que a mis años por tu culpa yo me siento un pobre diablo
Quien pudiera estar contigo y ser el otro Yo sabría retenerte poco a poco Y es que a fuerza de ignorarme has conseguido Que te quiera como a nadie yo he querido
Tú no sabes que se siente cuando alguien que tú quieres no te quiere
Quién diría que a mis años por tu culpa yo me siento un pobre diablo
Dingue
Composer(s): Jean Ferrat
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Pour faire ma pub' Descends ton slip J'te f'rai un tube Avec mon clip Image de fesse À bout portant Il pleut à verse Sur mon écran Ouvre les cuisses Que je te mate Mon audimat Est au beau fixe Les idées-chocs Le poids du fric Je baisse mon froc Sur cette éthique
La vie débloque À tout berzingue Dans mon époque Je deviens dingue
Au faire savoir Succède le voir À défaut d'être Il faut paraître J'ai la moutarde Qui m'monte au nez Passe la rhubarbe Voila l'séné À toi l'Oscar À moi l'Sept d'or À toi l'César À nous l'veau d'or Tu s'ras au Hit Je s'rai au Top J'te félicite Bravo mon pote
La vie débloque À tout berzingue Dans mon époque Je deviens dingue
Faut des gagneurs Faut des perdants Mort aux losers Place aux battants Vole une pomme Et tu es cuit Descends un homme T'as du sursis Un flic tabasse Un jeune en loques Ça laisse pas d'traces Justice en toc Un flic qui casse Comme un canaque Putain d'ta race Un beur qui claque
La vie débloque À tout berzingue Dans mon époque Je deviens dingue
La France qui gagne Les p'tits boulots Les années bagne Métro dodo La France qui trinque Dans les banlieues Passe-moi la s'ringue À être heureux Si t'as des fois Mal aux magouilles L'état de droit Qui part en couilles Si ça te ronge Aux entournures Prends donc l'éponge Aux fausses factures
La vie débloque À tout berzingue Dans mon époque Je deviens dingue
T'as pas 100 balles Pour le cancer T'as pas 100 balles Pour le SIDA T'as pas 100 balles Pour la misère T'as pas 100 balles Pendant c'temps-là 500 milliards Partent en fumée 500 milliards Partent en fusées 500 milliards Aux militaires 500 milliards Foutus en l'air
La vie débloque À tout berzingue Dans mon époque Je deviens dingue
Maman bobo J'ai mal au coeur Papa Rambo Fait un malheur Avec sa guerre En vidéo Qui rassérène Le populo Avec ses bombes Aseptisées Ses hécatombes Banalisées Il fait la r'tape Au consensus Sa force de frappe J'l'ai dans l'anus
La vie débloque À tout berzingue Dans mon époque Je deviens dingue

Ding-Din-Dong
Composer(s): Raymond Asso - P. Dreyfus
Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Quand il naquit, son père sa mère
Depuis longtemps, ne s'aimaient plus
Ça fait qu'il arriva sur terre
Un peu comme un enfant perdu
Quand on est môme, ça vous dégoûte
De ne jamais rire de tout son cur
Alors, très jeune, il prit la route
Et s'enfuit chercher le bonheur
Ding Din Dong, chantons sa plainte
Ding Din Dong, chantons-la donc
Il chercha dans la solitude
Il chercha aussi dans le bruit
De chercher, ayant l'habitude
Quand il le trouva, il s'enfuit
Puis il aima, elle était blonde
Elle l'aimait bien, oui mais voilà
Elle se donnait à tout le monde
Il la battit puis s'en alla
Ding Din Dong, chantons sa plainte
Ding Din Dong, chantons-la donc
Il se dit: "Les blondes sont volages
Mais les cheveux noirs c'est plus sérieux"
Il prit un brune, promit mariage
Pensant qu'cette fois il s'rait heureux
Au bout de cinq à six semaines
Elle s'ennuyait à la maison
"Vraiment", dit-il, "je n'ai pas d'veine
Elle a pourtant pas les ch'veux blonds"
Ding Din Dong, chantons sa plainte
Ding Din Dong, chantons-la donc
Il ne savait pas que les femmes
Ça n'aime pas l'bonheur quotidien
Et l'pauvre garçon s'torturait l'âme
"Mais j'l'aime... mon Dieu...
Ah que j'l'aime bien"
Et, mordu par la jalousie
Y n'savait plus que s'lamenter
"On va m'la prendre, elle est jolie"
Alors il voulut la tuer
Ding Din Dong, chantons sa plainte
Ding Din Dong, chantons-la donc
Mais elle était vraiment fidèle
Il l'aimait tant qu'il préféra
Se faire sauter la cervelle
Il en mourut et puis voilà
Si cette histoire vous fait rire
C'est que vous n'avez rien compris
Il cherchait le bonheur, le pire
Est qu'il trouva la mort, tant pis...
Ding Din Dong, finit sa plainte...
Ding Din Dong, et Ding et Dong...
Avant Toi Composer(s): Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Mama Béa
Avant toi Aveuglé de misère Mon unique lumière Était celle de Dieu Avant toi À l'orée de l'enfance J'ai surpris la souffrance Avant d'ouvrir les yeux Avant toi je n'eus pour toute famille Que quelques pauvres filles Belles de nuit, de jour Qui sans joie M'ont appris bien des choses Qu'au fond des maisons closes On croit être l'amour
Avant toi À quinze ans pitoyable Dans un hôtel minable J'ai laissé ma vertu Avant toi La faim collée au ventre J'ai poussé la goualante Dans les cours et les rues Avant toi J'ai connu la violence Jusqu'au jour où la chance Simplement m'a trouvé Et pour moi Qui fréquentais les bouges On mit le tapis rouge Et Paris à mes pieds
Avant toi Un moment j'ai pu croire A une belle histoire Mais le rêve fut cours Avant toi Une mort un scandale Dans les rues de Pigalle Et tout le bruit autour
Avant toi Chargé de tous les vices On me prétend complice On met ma vie à nu Et les voix De tous ceux qui m'accusent Que les radios diffusent Me rejettent à la rue
Avant toi De déboires en déboires La route de la gloire Fut un chemin de croix Mille fois J'ai entrevu le vide Mais Dieu restait mon guide L'amour restait ma foi
Avant toi De bateaux en rivages De marins en naufrages Je scrutais l'horizon Avant toi Mes amours éphémères Milord ou légionnaire Sont devenus chansons Avant toi Les petits bals de France Déroulaient mes souffrances En mille variations Sous les doigts Secs et longs d'un artiste Tournaient les âmes tristes Grâce à l'accordéon
Avant toi Au sommet de la gloire J'avais du mal à croire À l'amour éternel
Avant toi De folie en folie J'ai dépensé ma vie En aimant au pluriel
Avant toi J'attendais avec fièvre Qu'enfin ce jour se lève Où ma main tracera Une Croix Sur mon passé d'angoisse Pour qu'en mon coeur s'effacent Tous mes jours d'avant toi

Chorus:
Wella wella wella wella

Why I gotta learn those numbers is a mystery
A date with you after school is the only date I know
Chorus
Chorus
Gotta study up for French vocabulary
To learn a lot of words and how to spell em right

Only know the words that I find necessary

It means that I love you
Chorus
First one out when the bell is gonna ring

First one out when the bell is gonna ring is me
Lovers Of The World Unite Composer(s): Roger Cook - Roger Greenaway Performer(s): David & Jonathan; Poor Rich Ones; The Vogues
Lovers of the world unite You alone know what is right People all should feel this way Needing someone every day Keep the fire of dreamers bright Lovers of the world unite
All good people, hear my song If you feel the world is wrong All division, nothing shared Dreams have died and no one cared Seems that just the young know how So I ask them, listen now
Lovers of the world unite You alone know what is right People all should feel this way Needing someone every day Keep the fire of dreamers bright Lovers of the world unite
Such a pity, such a shame Man has only he to blame Give them beauty, give them life He created a toil and strife It seems that just the young know how So I ask them, listen now
Lovers of the world unite You alone know what is right People all should feel this way Needing someone every day Keep the fire of dreamers bright Lovers of the world unite
