Louise
Composer(s): Paul Siebel
First release by: Paul Siebel - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



They all said Louise was not half bad 
It was written on the walls and window shades 
And how she'd act the little girl 
A deceiver, don't believe her, that's her trade
Sometimes a bottle of Perfume 
Flowers and maybe some lace
Men brought Louise 10 cent trinkets 
The intentions were easily traced 
And everybody knew at times she cried 
But woman like Louise well they get by

And everybody thought it kinda sad
When they found Louise in her room
They'd all put her down below their kind
Still some cried when she died this afternoon
Louise rode home on the mail train
Somewhere to the south I heard them say
Too bad it ended so ugly
Too bad she had to go this way
But the wind is blowin4 cold tonight
Good night Louise good night

Aren't You Glad You're You
Composer(s): Johnny Burke - James Van Heusen
Performer(s): Doris Day



Every time you're near a rose
Aren't you glad you've got a nose
And if the dawn is fresh with dew
Aren't you glad you're you

When a meadowlark appears
Aren't you glad you've got two ears
And if your heart is singin' too
Aren't you glad you're you

You can see a summer sky
Or touch a friendly hand
Or taste an apple pie
Pardon the grammar, but ain't life grand

And when you wake up each morn
Aren't you glad that you were born
Think what you've got the whole day through
Aren't you glad you're you

Every time you're near a rose
Aren't you glad you've got a nose
And if the dawn is fresh with dew
Aren't you glad you're you

When a meadowlark appears
Aren't you glad you've got two ears
And if your heart is singin' too
Aren't you glad you're you

You can see a summer sky
Or touch a friendly hand
Or taste an apple pie
Pardon the grammar, but ain't life grand

And when you wake up each morn
Aren't you glad that you were born
Think what you've got the whole day through
Aren't you glad you're you

Wonderful! Oh, it's wonderful
To be in love with you
Beautiful! You're so beautiful
You haunt me all day through

Every little breeze seems to whisper "Louise"
Birds in the trees seem to twitter "Louise"
Each little rose
Tells me it knows I love you, love you

Every little beat that I feel in my heart
Seems to repeat, What I felt from the start
Each little sigh
Tells me that I adore you, Louise

Just to see and hear you
Brings joy I never knew
But to be so near you
Thrills me through and through

Anyone can see why I wanted your kiss
It had to be But the wonder is this
Can it be true
Someone like you could love me, Louise?

Innocent! You're so innocent
And gentle as a dove
Heaven sent! You were heaven sent
An angel from above

Every little breeze seems to whisper "Louise"
Birds in the trees seem to twitter "Louise"
Each little rose
Tells me it knows I love you, love you

Every little beat that I feel in my heart
Seems to repeat, What I felt from the start
Each little sigh
Tells me that I adore you, Louise

Often when I'm gloomy
And in my lonely room
Thoughts of you come to me
Like a sweet perfume

Anyone can see why I wanted your kiss
It had to be But the wonder is this
Can it be true
Someone like you could love me, Louise?

Aren't You Kind Of Glad We Did?
Composer(s): Ira Gershwin - George Gershwin
Performer(s): Peggy Lee
and multiple other artists



Oh, it really wasn't my intention
To disregard convention
It was just an impulse
That had to be obeyed

Though it seems convention we've been scorning
I'll still not go in mourning
Though my reputation
Is blemished, I'm afraid

With just one kiss
What heaven, what rapture, what bliss

Honestly, I thought you wouldn't
Naturally, you thought you couldn't
And probably we shouldn't
But aren't you kind of glad we did?

Actually, it all was blameless
Nevertheless, they'll call it shameless
So let's keep the lady nameless
But aren't you kind of glad we did?

Socially, I'll be an outcast
Obviously, we dined alone
On my good name there will be doubt cast
With never a sign of any chaperone

No matter how they may construe it
Whether or not, we have to rue it
Whatever made us do it
Say, aren't you kind of glad we did?

Whatever made us do it
Say, aren't you kind of glad we did?

Louis'anna Blues
Composer(s): Howard C. Washington - James S. White



Down in Lou'siana where the melons grow 
Lives the sweetest little girl that I love so 
My oh my heavens above how she can love 
When she starts a loving I'm in heav'n above 
Before long you'll see me going on a train 
That I'm sure will carry me right back again 
Oh! deario I'm home sick and so lonely 
I can be cured by you only 
Oh!

Dearie now I'm wond'ring if you'll ever know 
Just how bad I feel and that I miss you so 
With me 'twas the ending of a perfect day 
It's not clear to me just why I went away 
Dearie I just want your love and nothing more 
I want you to love me as you did of yore 
Sweet heart I am so sad and lonely 
My heart cries for you only 
Oh!

I've got the blues the Lou'siana blues 
My honey how I'm longing just for you 
Baby I'm wond'ring if you are still true
And that is why I feel so blue 
I can't forget, do you regret 
The love and kisses that you gave to me 
How I miss you, your loving kiss 
Your love so true, 'twas joy and bliss 
Oh I've got the weary blues, the Lou'siana blues 
Those weary Lou'siana blues

Mrs. Collins weeped, Mrs. Collins moaned
to see her son Louis leavin' home
The angels laid him away
The angels laid him away
they laid him six feet under the clay
The angels laid him away
Mrs. Collins weeped, Mrs. Collins moaned
to see her son Louis leavin' home
The angels laid him away
Oh, Bob shot once and Louis shot too
shot poor Collins, shot him through and through
The angels laid him away
Oh, kind friends, oh, ain't it hard?
to see poor Louis in a new graveyard
The angels laid him away
The angels laid him away
they laid him six feet under the clay
The angels laid him away
Oh, when they heard that Louis was dead
all the people they dressed in red
The angels laid him away
The angels laid him away
they laid him six feet under the clay
The angels laid him away
Mrs. Collins weeped, Mrs. Collins moaned
to see her son Louis leavin' home
The angels laid him away
The angels laid him away
they laid him six feet under the clay
The angels laid him away

Ariane
Composer(s): Maurice Bourdet
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



Toutes les portes se ressemblent
Quelque part dans ce grand ensemble
Ariane, Ariane m'attend
Maudite soit ma maladresse
J'ai perdu sa nouvelle adresse
Ariane, Ariane m'attend

Toutes les portes se ressemblent
Les escaliers montent ou descendent
Selon le sens où on les prend
Les judas me font la grimace
Je vais, je cours, les heures passent
Au fil du temps l'amour se casse
Ariane, Ariane m'attend

Toutes les portes se ressemblent
Mais à tant crier il me semble
Qu'Ariane, qu'Ariane m'entend
Escalier cent-soixante-quatre
Mon coeur va-t-il cesser de battre
Ariane, Ariane m'attend

Ariane, vois ma triste posture
Devant ces portes d'imposture
Ariane, ouvre-moi, je t'entends
Mais luit où tant je tambourine
J'entrouvre et soudain je devine
Ce n'est qu'une télé-speakerine
Qui parle, qui parle du temps

Je veux hurler mais ma voix tremble
Je pleure et je ris tout ensemble
Ariane, Ariane m'attend
Devant ces mille et une portes
Je sens que la colère m'emporte
Ariane, Ariane m'attend

Ariane, tu ne peux pas paraître
Il me reste un moyen peut-être
Nous verrons bien si cela prend
Par l'allumette que j'enflamme
J'en fonds cet ensemble sans âme
Le feu fera surgir la femme
Ariane, Ariane, Ariane, Ariane
Ariane, Ariane, Ariane...

Sail that ship about, all alone
Never know if I make it home

Dans Met Mij Tot Morgenvroeg
Performer(s): Willy Sommers



Je mag eindelijk met mij uitgaan
Maar je moet weg voor middernacht
Toch laat ik je niet naar huis gaan
Voor het einde van de nacht

Dans met mij tot morgenvroeg
Dans met mij de hele nacht
Kom neem m'n hand en dans met mij
Neem de tijd en voel je vrij
Wees gelukkig tot de morgendauw

Dans met mij tot morgenvroeg
Dans met mij de hele nacht
Wie weet wat ik nog meer verzin
Voor een nieuwe dag begint
Zeg ik beslist nog wel
'Ik hou van jou'

Kijk het is al middernacht
Men heeft vergeefs op jou gewacht
Maar je kust me, en je lacht
Liefste jij maakt me geen verwijt
En je toont niet de minste spijt
Morgen heb je nog al de tijd

Dans met mij tot morgenvroeg
Dans met mij de hele nacht
Kom neem m'n hand en dans met mij
Neem de tijd en voel je vrij
Wees gelukkig tot de morgendauw

Dans met mij tot morgenvroeg
Dans met mij de hele nacht
Wie weet wat ik nog meer verzin
Voor een nieuwe dag begint
Zeg ik beslist nog wel
'Ik hou van jou'

Arianne
Composer(s): Martin Charnin - Christian Roudey
Performer(s): The Neville Brothers; Johnny Mathis



Arianne's an April morning
That comes rippling through my window
She's the smell of coffee brewing
On a quiet rainy Sunday
And the purring of a kitten
That has made my neck
A pillow for it's head

Arianne's the silly music
That my father used to whistle
She's the new leaf on the fern
That I had given up last winter
And what writer's have to feel like
When they suddenly discover
They've been read

Arianne is mama's crystal
Bread that's nearly finished baking
And the rainbow in a puddle
And the happiest of birthdays
Then the going off on Friday
And the coming back on Monday
With a tan

Arianne is made of feelings
So I milk her of her kisses
And I swallow up her breathing
And I taste her where she loves me
And I'm filled to over flowing
But there's always room for more of Arianne

Arianne is mama's crystal
Bread that's nearly finished baking
And the rainbow in a puddle
And the happiest of birthdays
Then the going off on Friday
And the coming back on Monday
With a tan

Arianne is made of feelings
So I milk her of her kisses
And I swallow up her breathing
And I taste her where she loves me
And I'm filled to over flowing
But there's always room for more of Arianne

Wenn Uns're Liebe Ewig So Bliebe
Performer(s): Howard Carpendale



Wenn unsere Liebe ewig so bliebe
wär ich der glücklichste Mensch
denn ich hätt' alles
was ich mir wünsch'

Ein Leben ganz ohne Liebe
ist wie ein Sommer ohne Sonnenschein

Hey

er kann nicht schöner sein
hey
hey
weil ich dich mag
laß ich dich nie allein

Wenn unsere Liebe ewig so bliebe
wär ich der glücklichste Mensch
denn ich hätt' alles
was ich mir wünsch'

Verliebt sein kann wunderschön sein
wer von der Liebe nicht träumt
hat viel versäumt

Oh
ich glaubte nie daran
daß ich so treu sein kann
doch dann kamst du und mir war klar

Immer frohe Stunden
seit wir uns gefunden
und sie werden für uns nie vergehn

Oh
wenn unsere Liebe ...

Wenn unsere Liebe ewig so bliebe
wär ich der glücklichste Mensch
denn ich hätt' alles
was ich mir wünsch'

Verliebt sein kann wunderschön sein
wer von der Liebe nicht träumt
hat viel versäumt

La La La La La La La La La
Ooh, Ooh

It's gonna take a lotta love
To change the way things are
It's gonna take a lotta love
Or we won't get too far
So if you look in my direction
And we don't see eye to eye
My heart needs protection and so do I

It's gonna take a lotta love
To get us thru the night
It's gonna take a lotta love
To make things work out right
So if you are out there waitin'
I hope you show up soon
'Cause my heart needs relaxing not solitude

Gotta lotta love

Ooh, Ooh

Ariel 
Composer(s): Dean Friedman
Performer(s): Dean Friedman



Way on the other side of the Hudson
Deep in the bosom of suburbia
I met a young girl she sang mighty fine
Tears on my pillow and Ave Maria
Standing by the water fall in Paramus Park
She was working for the friends of Bai
She was collecting quarters in a paper cup
She was looking for change and so was I

She was a Jewish girl
I fell in love with her
She wrote her number on the back of my hand
I called her up,
I was all out of breath
I said, "Come hear me play in my rock and roll band"
I took a shower and I put on my best blue jeans
I picked her up in my new V double U van
She wore a peasant blouse with nothing underneath
I said "Hi"
She said, "yeah, I guess I am"
Ariel, Ariel

We had a little time, we were real hungry
We went to Dairy Queen for something to eat
She had some onion rings, she had a pickle
She forgot to tell me how she didn't eat meat
I had a gig in the American Legion hall
It was a dance for the Volunteer Ambulance Corps
She was sitting in a corner against the wall
She would smile and I melted all over the floor
Ariel, Ariel

I took her home with me, we watched some TV
Annette Funicello and some guy going steady
I started fooling around with the verticle hold
We got the munchies so I made some spaghetti
We sat and we talked into the night
While channel 2 was signing off the air
I found the softness of her mouth
We made love, the bombs bursting in air
Ariel, Ariel
Ariel, Ariel

Way on the other side of the Hudson
Deep in the bosom of suburbia
I met a young girl
She sang mighty fine
Tears on my pillow and Ave Maria

Tears on my pillow and Ave Maria
Tears on my pillow and Ave Maria

Lots Of Luck
Composer(s): Eddie Miller

My heart will break as I watch you go 
But your kind of love is hard to hold
It seems you and I are losing touch 
So I'll wish you love … 
And honey lots of luck

Well lots of luck and a big goodbye 
And you can't say I didn't try
It well could be that I tried too much
And that's why you're leavin’ …
But honey lots of luck

Ah Leon

Now you want love and a big gold mine 
Well that combination is hard to find
Cause money don't always walk with luck 
But you can go looking … 
And honey lots of luck

Well lots of luck and a big goodbye 
And you can't say I didn't try
It well could be that I tried too much
And that's why you're leavin’ … 
But honey lots of luck

Well honey lots of luck …

Go on and leave now …

And baby lots of luck …

Une Ostendaise
Pleure sur sa chaise
Le chat soupèse
Son poids d'amour
Dans le silence
Son chagrin danse
Et les vieux pensent
Chacun son tour
À la cuisine
Quelques voisines
Parlent de Chine
Et d'un retour
À Singapore
Une Javanaise
Devient belle-sœur
De l'Ostendaise

Il y a deux sortes de temps
Il y a le temps qui attend
Et le temps qui espère
Il y a deux sortes de gens
Il y a les vivants
Et ceux qui sont en mer

Notre Ostendaise
Que rien n'abaise
De chaise en chaise
Va sa blessure
Quelques commères
Quelques compères
Battent le fer
De sa blessure
Son capitaine
Sous sa bedaine
De bière pleine
Bat le tambour
Homme de devoir
Homme d'étoiles
Il prend l'escale
Pour un détour

Il y a deux sortes de temps
Il y a le temps qui attend
Et le temps qui espère
Il y a deux sortes de gens
Il y a les vivants
Et ceux qui sont en mer

Notre Ostendaise
Au temps des fraises
Devient maîtresse
D'un pharmacien
Son capitaine
Mort sous bedaine
Joue les baleines
Les sous-marins
Pourquoi ma douce
Moi le faux mousse
Que le temps pousse
T'écrire de loin
C'est que je t'aime
Et tant je t'aime
Qu'ai peur ma reine
D'un pharmacien

Il y a deux sortes de temps
Il y a le temps qui attend
Et le temps qui espère
Il y a deux sortes de gens
Il y a les vivants
Et moi je suis en mer

Ari's Song
Composer(s): Nico
Performer(s): Nico



Sail away, sail away my little boy
Let the wind fill your heart with light and joy
Sail away my little boy

Let the rain wash away your cloudy days
Sail away into a dream
Let the wind send you a fantasy
Of the ancient silver sea

Now you see that only dreams
Can send you where you want to be
Now you find those faces
Are not holding places
Where you thought they'd be
And later as you go again
You will agree
That it was all a dream

Sail away, sail away my little boy
Let the wind fill your heart with light and joy
Sail away my little boy
