Around The World In A Day Composer(s): David Coleman - John L. Nelson - Prince Performer(s): Prince & the Revolution
Open your heart, open your mind A train is leaving all day A wonderful trip through our time And laughter is all U pay Around the world in a day Around the world in a day
Now dig Loneliness already knows U There ain't no reason 2 stay Come here and take my hand, I'll show U I think I know a better way, y'all
Around the world in a day (listen 2 me, babe) Around the world in a day (all the babies sing it now)
ooh-la-la ooh-la-la-la-la-la-la no-sha-sha no shouting no shouting no - no shouting
The little 1 will escort U 2 places within your mind The former is red, white, and blue The latter is purple, come on and climb
Around the world in a day Around the world in a day come on, sing Around the world in a day Say papa, I think I wanna dance
(summer she is sweet)
Around the world in a day Around the world in a day all the little babies, sing around the world Around the world in a day
A government of love and music boundless in its unifying power a nation of alms, the production, sharing ideas, a shower of flowers
Discours Des Fleurs
Composer(s): Georges Brassens - Eric Zimmermann
Performer(s): Georges Brassens
Sachant bien que même si Je suis amoureux transi Jamais ma main ne les cueille De bon cur les fleurs m'accueillent Et m'esquivant des salons Où l'on déblatère, où l'on Tient des propos byzantins J'vais faire un tour au jardin
Car je préfère, ma foi En voyant ce que parfois Ceux des hommes peuvent faire Les discours des primevères Des bourdes, des inepties Les fleurs en disent aussi Mais jamais personne en meurt Et ça plaît à mon humeur
Le premier Mai c'est pas gai Je trime a dit le muguet Dix fois plus que d'habitude Regrettable servitude Muguet, sois pas chicaneur Car tu donnes du bonheur Pas cher à tout un chacun Brin d' muguet, tu es quelqu'un
Mon nom savant me désol' Appelez-moi tournesol Ronchonnait l'héliotrope Ou je deviens misanthrope Tournesol c'est entendu Mais en échange veux-tu Nous donner un gros paquet De graines de perroquet?
L'églantine en rougissant Dit : ça me tourne les sangs Que gratte-cul l'on me nomme Cré nom d'un petit bonhomme! Eglantine on te promet De ne plus le faire, mais Toi tu ne piqueras plus Adjugé, marché conclu
Les "je t'aime un peu beaucoup" Ne sont guère de mon goût Les serments d'amour m'irritent Se plaignait la marguerite Car c'est là mon infortune Aussitôt que débute une Affaire sentimentale J'y laisse tous mes pétals
Un myosotis clamait Non je n'oublierai jamais Quand je vivrais cent ans d'âge Mille ans et même davantage Plein de souvenance allons Cent ans c'est long, c'est bien long Même vingt et même dix Pour un seul myosotis
Mais minuit sonnait déjà Lors en pensant que mes chats Privés de leur mou peuchère Devaient dire: "il exagère" Et saluant mes amies Les fleurs je leur ai promis Que je reviendrais bientôt Et vivent les végétaux
Car je préfère ma foi En voyant ce que parfois Ceux des hommes peuvent faire Les discours des primevères Des bourdesdes inepties Les fleurs en disent aussi Mais jamais personne en meurt Et ça plaît à mon humeur
Long Lonesome Road Composer(s): Robby Van Leeuwen Performer(s): Shocking Blue
On a Sunday night while driving my car In the sky a fallin' star Tellin' myself I don't go too far And trust by the sound of the rain
Well I wonder, well I wonder where I am 'Cos there's a long and lonesome road That will find our world of you & me babe There's a long and lonesome road That will find our world like it used to be babe
Somebody there to show me the way Yes, I'm willin' to pay And this dear old man can tell me any day Know what happens to me
Well I wonder, well I wonder where I am 'Cos there's a long and lonesome road That will find our world of you & me babe There's a long and lonesome road That will find our world like it used to be babe
So Schön Kann Doch Kein Mann Sein Performer(s): Gitte Haenning
So schoen kann doch kein Mann sein daß ich ihm lange nachwein' Nun schaust du mich mit treuen blauen Augen an Ein alter Trick, den ich Dir nicht mehr glauben kann Nein, nein, so schoen kann doch kein Mann sein daß ich ihm lange nachwein'
Ich hab mir laengst schon meinen Reim darauf gemacht kommst Du mit roten Rosen mitten in der Nacht Nein, nein - so schoen kann doch kein Mann sein Daß ich ihm lange nachwein'
Einsam ging der Abend vorbei Wieder steht die Uhr auf halb drei Damals standest Du dort in der Tuer Und ich weiß noch, ich sagte zu Dir
So schoen kann doch kein Mann sein daß ich ihm lange nachwein' Nun schaust du mich mit treuen blauen Augen an Ein alter Trick, den ich Dir nicht mehr glauben kann Nein, nein, so schoen kann doch kein Mann sein daß ich ihm lange nachwein' Ich hab mir laengst schon meinen Reim darauf gemacht kommst Du mit roten Rosen mitten in der Nacht
Warum rufst Du immer noch an sagst mir, daß man sich aendern kann Das klingt wie ein schoenes Gedicht Doch ich glaub es Dir leider noch nicht
Around The World Composer(s): Harold Adamson - Victor Young First performance/First release by: Victor Young - 1957 Covered by multiple other artists
Around the world I've searched for you I traveled on when hope was gone To keep a rendezvous I knew somewhere, sometime, somehow You'd look at me and I would see The smile you're smil-ing now
It might have been in County Down Or in New York, or gay Paree Or even London town No more will I go all around the world For I have found my world in you
Disco Queen
Composer(s): Nicoletta - William Sheller
Performer(s): Nicoletta
Avec, sous l'ombre d'un paradis Le sourire d'un ange qui n'a pas tout dit Du rêve étrange dont elle est sortie Ce soir, elle danse pour toute la vie C'est un bonheur dont elle s'étourdit Qui l'emmène ailleurs au plus haut de la nuit Où chacun peut être ce qu'il a choisi Ce soir, elle danse à l'infini
{Sunlights!} Vous pourrez même y voir Au fond du cur de Baby Love {All night!} Il tourne un grand vinyle noir Dont elle n'a parlé à personne Mais, un jour, il sera blanc platine Quand, un jour, elle sera Disco Queen!
Ce soir elle danse: pardonnez lui C'est sans importance si elle vous oublie Quand l'humeur balance, les souvenirs aussi Ce soir elle danse pour toute la vie Et quel que soit le temps qui fuit Tous les gens dehors qui n'ont jamais compris Qu'elle sera toujours comme elle l'a choisi Ce soir elle danse à l'infini

Around The Plynth Composer(s): Rod Stewart - Ron Wood Performer(s): Faces
Woken up on mornings such as this Thought exactly the same as I'm thinking now Every night for a year I've slept alone Cold damp room looks worse than me, no no no
Got a fear of death that creeps on every night I know I won't die soon, but then again I might Water down the drain, I'm wasting away Doctors can't help the ghost of a man that's me
Water down the drain goes to the sea The pattern of my life keeps a-haunting me Moisture from the ocean fills the sky Come on down to the ground as the time goes by I never found out the reason why My parents had to lie About the place that I was born Or from my hometown I was torn At the tender age of four I was livin' by homemade law

Mein Zug rollt in den Bahnhof ein in diesem Augenblick und wenn er fährt, bist du allein, wart auf mich! Ich küss die Tränen fort, bin traurig, daß du weinst Oh, du weißt genau, die ganze Zeit denk ich allein an dich ein Jahr ist keine Ewigkeit, wart auf mich! Es wird nicht einfach sein, das Leben ohne dich oh du, wenn ich dich verlier, dann ist mein Leben kalt und leer Wart auf mich! Wart auf mich!
Du hast mir Rosen geschenkt, aber es waren Blumen zum Abschied und darum haben sie mich nicht glücklich gemacht Ich werde eine davon aufheben in meinem Tagebuch, eine Rose, die mich an dich erinnern soll
Du winkst mir zu und irgendwie scheint alles wie ein Traum der Zug singt seine Melodie, wart auf mich! Doch wie mein Lied mit dir, vergeht die Hoffnung nie Oh du, wenn ich dich verlier, dann ist mein Leben kalt und leer Wart auf mich! Wart auf mich!
Du, du, wenn ich dich verlier, dann ist mein Leben kalt und leer Wart auf mich! Wart auf mich!

Went to a party the other night
All the ladies were treating me right
Moving my feet to the disco beat
How in the world could I keep my seat
All of a sudden I began to change
I was on the dance floor acting strange
Flapping my arms I began to cluck
Look at me... I'm the disco duck
Ah, get down, mama
I've got to have me a woman, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
(Disco, disco duck)
Got to have me a woman (Disco, disco duck)
Oh, get down, mama (Try your luck, don't be a cluck, disco)
Disco (Disco)

Disco (Disco, disco duck)
All right (Disco, disco duck)
Ah, get down mama,
Oh mama, shake your tail feather, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
When the music stopped I returned to my seat
But there's no stoppin' a duck and his beat
So I got back up to try my luck
Why look... Everybody's doin' the...

Wave to me (Don't be a cluck)
