The Ascot Gavotte (Dutch Version: Ascot Gavotte) Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe - Lane & Friends Performer(s): Roger Rees
Ladies and Gentlemen Ev'ry duke and earl and peer is here Ev'ryone who should be here is here What a smashing, positively dashing Spectacle: the Ascot op'ning day At the gate are all the horses Waiting for the cue to fly away What a gripping, absolutely ripping Moment at the Ascot op'ning day Pulses rushing! Faces flushing! Heartbeats speed up! I have never been so keyed up! And second now They'll begin to run Hark! A bell is ringing They are springing Forward Look! It has begun...! What a frenzied moment that was! Didn't they maintain an exhausting pace? 'Twas a thrilling, absolutely chilling Running of the Ascot op'ning race
Sancta Maria, ik kom tot U Hier bij het kruis bid ik tot U Vraag ik om raad, hoop in m'n hart Want Gij troost menselijke smart
Doe ik soms kwaad als ik bemin Meer dan het geld is zij me waard Zij maakt m'n lot zo wonderbaar O, ik leef alleen voor haar
Vergeef me m'n ontroering Als zij niet bij me is Vergeef me m'n vervoering Als zij in m'n armen ligt Vergeef Sancta Maria Dit brandend liefdesvuur En maak Sancta Maria Dat het voor altijd duurt
Doe ik soms kwaad als ik bemin Meer dan het goud is zij me waard Zij maakt m'n lot zo wonderbaar O, ik leef alleen voor haar
Vergeef me m'n ontroering Als zij niet bij me is Vergeef me m'n vervoering Als zij in m'n armen ligt Vergeef Sancta Maria Dit brandend liefdesvuur En maak Sancta Maria Dat het voor altijd duurt
Do You Know Any Bob Dylan? Composer(s): Eric Bogle Performer(s): Eric Bogle
At the age of nineteen, I was young, I was keen And I had just one burning ambition To be a folk singer, a dope-smoking swinger Singing songs that were steeped in tradition
So I bought a guitar and I practiced real hard I wasn't much good, but I was willin' Till to my chagrin, my girlfriend came in And she said, "Can you sing any Dylan?"
And I said "No, no a thousand times no! I'd rather see my life blood spillin' I'll sing anything, even God Save the King But I just won't sing any Bob Dylan!"
And with my guitar I traveled real far Trying to gain recognition I sang "Matty Groves" from St. Paul to Glen Cove In pubs, clubs, and in seamen's missions
I traveled the road for seven long years The pace, it really was killin' And wherever I went from Scotland to Kent They would say, "Can you sing any Dylan?"
And I said "No, no a thousand times no! I'd rather see my life blood spillin' I'll sing anything, even God Save the King But I just won't sing any Bob Dylan!"
Well I soldiered on but the magic was gone Leaving naught but a deep sense of failure So I thought I would go where all failures go And I took me a ship to Australia
When I landed in Sydney, the sun it shone down On a view that was lovely and thrilling But seeing my case, with a smile on his face Customs said, "Can you sing any Dylan, mate?"
And I said "No, no a thousand times no! I'd rather see my life blood spillin' I'll sing anything, even God Save the King But I just won't sing any Bob Dylan!"
Well ever since then, again and again They've asked me the same boring question And I usually reply with a glint in my eye And a rather indecent suggestion
But the last straw came one night at a local motel Where I had a young girl who was willin' Put my hand up her dress, and she said "I'll say yes If first you will sing me some Dylan"
And I said "No, no a thousand times no! I'd rather see my life blood spillin' I'll sing anything, even God Save the King But I just won't sing any Bob Dylan!"
But I tell you my friend, that was the end Of all my traditional aspirations If being a folkie meant giving up nookie There was one way to end my frustrations
So the very next night at another folk club Where the audience around me was millin' I took off my coat and I ruptured my throat And I sang a song just like Bob Dylan
"Fo-o-o-or the ti-i-i-mes they are a-changi-i-i-ing"
And the audience went wild, man, woman and child They clapped 'til their poor hands were bleeding And they said, so to speak, that my style was unique And just what the folk scene was needing
So all you young folkies who play a guitar If you want to achieve a top billin' Just murder good prose and sing through your nose And then you'll sound just like Bob Dylan
Do You Hear The People Sing? ((French Version: À La Volonté Du Peuple (Michel Sardou)) Composer(s): Alain Boublil - James Fenton - Herbert Kretzmer - Claude-Michel Schönberg
Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of angry men? It is the music of a people Who will not be slaves again! When the beating of your heart Echoes the beating of the drums There is a life about to start When tomorrow comes!
Will you join in our crusade? Who will be strong and stand with me? Beyond the barricade Is there a world you long to see? Courfeyrac: Then join in the fight That will give you the right to be free!
Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of angry men? It is the music of a people Who will not be slaves again! When the beating of your heart Echoes the beating of the drums There is a life about to start When tomorrow comes!
Will you give all you can give So that our banner may advance Some will fall and some will live Will you stand up and take your chance? The blood of the martyrs Will water the meadows of France!
Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of angry men? It is the music of a people Who will not be slaves again! When the beating of your heart Echoes the beating of the drums There is a life about to start When tomorrow comes!
As You Said Composer(s): Jack Bruce - Brown Performer(s): Cream
Let's go down to where it's clean To see what time it might have been The tides have carries of the beach As you said The sun is out of reach Let's go back to where it's clean To see what year it might have been The roads have carried of the smiles As you said To judge them at the trails
So let's go back to now that's bad To see what time we could have had The rails have carried off the trains As you said I'll never come again
As You Like It Composer(s): Vandyke Performer(s): Adam Faith
If you dont like the kooky way I comb my hair for you And you dont like the look of the crazy pants I wear for you OK my darling, Ill change each pitch I only wanna love you As you like it

Woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand Whose wine, what wine, where the hell did I dine? Must have been a dream I dont believe where Ive been Come on - let's do it again Do you, you feel like I do? Do you, you feel like I do? My friend got busted just the other day They said dont walk, dont walk, dont walk away He drove into a taxi bent the boot hit the back Had to play some music otherwise hed crack Do you, you feel like I do? Do you, you feel like I do?
Do you, you feel like I do? Do you, you feel like I do? Champagne for breakfast and a sherman in my hand Black coat, Black tails, never fails Must have been a dream I dont believe where Ive been Come on - lets do it again Do you, you feel like I do? Do you, you feel like I do?
It's morning And we've slept the night away It happened Now we can't turn back the hands of time Yes we've stolen this moment We've forgot about one simple fact We both belong to someone else As we slept the night away
chorus As we lay We forgot about tomorrow as we lay As we lay Didn't think about the price we had to pay It's morning And now it's time for us to say good-bye (good-bye) (Good-bye, baby) you're leaving me I know you gotta hurry home and face your wife I would never never wanna hurt her (never, baby) She would never ever ever understand You belong to me for just one night As we slept the night away
chorus
We should of captured all of our thoughts But instead we got lost In the second In the minute In the hour (in the hour, baby)
Eens was je altijd bij mij Nu loop jij me voorbij Alsof je mij niet kende Het geluk is nu van ons gegaan Ik zie je weer voor me staan Waarom moet dit nu zijn Het leven heeft voor mij geen waarde Je bleef me toch niet trouw Je was mijn schat op aarde Ik hou alleen van jou Eens was je altijd bij mij Nu loop jij me voorbij Waarom moet dit nu zijn
Het noodlot heeft ons van elkander gebracht Ik sta nu alleen en haat nu de nacht Jij was voor mij alles, vergeten doe ik niet Daarom zing ik nu voor jou dit lied
Eens was je altijd bij mij Nu loop jij me voorbij Alsof je mij niet kende Het geluk is nu van ons gegaan Ik zie je weer voor me staan Waarom moet dit nu zijn Het leven heeft voor mij geen waarde Je bleef me toch niet trouw Je was mijn schat op aarde Ik hou alleen van jou Eens was je altijd bij mij Nu loop jij me voorbij Waarom moet dit nu zijn
Eens was je altijd bij mij Nu loop jij me voorbij Waarom moet dit nu zijn...
I can tell by your face That you're looking to find a place To settle your mind And reveal who you are And you shouldn't be shy For I'm not gonna try To hurt you or heal you or steal your star Open your eyes Get up off your chair There's so much to do in the sunlight Give up your secrets Let down your hair And sit with me here by the firelight Why think all about Who's gonna win out We'll make up our story as we go along There's so little time For us to try to rhyme And so many highways to travel upon Open your eyes Get up off your chair There's so much to do in the sunlight Give up your secrets and let down your hair And sit with me here by the firelight

Eu te vejo sair por aí Te avisei que a cidade era um vão Dá tua mão Olha pra mim Não faz assim Não vai lá não
Os letreiros a te colorir Embaraçam a minha visão Eu te vi suspirar de aflição E sair da sessão, frouxa de rir
Já te vejo brincando, gostando de ser Tua sombra a se multiplicar Nos teus olhos também posso ver As vitrines te vendo passar
Na galeria Cada clarão É como um dia depois de outro dia Abrindo salão Passas em exposição Passas sem ver teu vigia Catando a poesia Que entornas no chão
Do You Ever Think Of Me?
Composer(s): Harry D. Kerr - John Cooper - Earl Burtnett
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists
When love in to my dreams was creeping I gave my heart in to your keeping It brought the harvest I am reaping And I always wonder now
When summer twilight's gently falling I'd love to know if you're recalling Your tender words to me enthralling And my heart is wond'ring still
When you have another's arms about you Do you ever think of me When you whisper "I can't live without you" Do you ever think of me And when your eyes disguise the same old loving lies You tell so tenderly Deep in your heart unfeeling When some heart you're stealing do you ever think of me

Do You Believe This Town
Composer(s): Joseph Nixon - Charles Williams
Performer(s): Dean Martin
The woman next door has gone to the PTA And stopped to see her best friend's husband on the way The folks down the street have a different thing So everyone is putting them down Do you believe this town?
Deacon Jones preaches brotherly love every Sunday And forecloses loans on widow's homes every Monday But the smart guys say it's the only way To keep the economy sound Do you believe this town?
Do you believe they voted this town dry? Well you won't believe it when I tell you why The mayor and his cousin and the chief of police have the bootlegging all nailed down Do you believe this town?
Do you believe they burned a house down yesterday You won't believe the reason that they gave If the folks who lived there had a known their place They could still be hanging around Do you believe this town?
