In A Shanty In Old Shanty Town (aka It's Only A Shanty In Old Shanty Town) Composer(s): Joe Young; Little Jack Little; John Siras First release by: Ted Lewis & His Band Covered by multiple other artists
I'm up in the world but I'd give the world to be where I used to be A heavenly nest where I rest the best means more than the world to me
It's only a shanty in old Shanty Town the roof is so slanty it touches the ground. But my tumbled down shack by an old railroad track like a millionaire's mansion is calling me back
I'd give up a palace if I were a king It's more than a palace, it's my everything There's a queen waiting there with a silvery crown in a shanty in old Shanty Town
Nagasaki Composer(s): Harry Warren; Mort Dixon Performer(s): The Mills Brothers; and various other artists
Fellows, if you're arn I will spin a yarn That was told to me by Able Seaman Jones Once he had the blues So he took a cruise Far away from night-clubs and from saxophones He said, "Yo Ho, I've made a certain port And when you talk about real he-man sport"
Hot ginger and dynamite There's nothing but that at night Back in Nagasaki Where the fellers chew tobaccy And the women wicky-wacky Woo The way they can entertain Would hurry a hurricane Back in Nagasaki Where the fellers chew tobaccy And the women wicky wacky Woo
In Fujiama You get a mama Then your troubles increase In some pagoda She orders soda Earth-shake milk-shakes, ten cents a piece They kissy and huggy nice Oh, By Jingo! It's worth the price Back in Nagasaki Where the fellers chew tobaccy And the women wicky-wacky Woo
Now when the day is warm You can keep in form With a bowl of rice beneath a parasol. Every gentle man Has to use a fan And they only use suspenders in the fall That's where the girls don't think of rings and furs Gosh, it's the nicest place that ever weres
They give you a carriage free The horse is a Japanee Back in Nagasaki Where the fellers chew tobaccy And the women wicky-wacky Woo They sit you upon the floor No wonder your pants get sore Back in Nagasaki Where the fellers chew tobaccy And the women wicky-wacky Woo
With Sweet Kimoner I pulled a boner I kept it up at high speed I got rhumatics And then psyatics Halatosisis, that's guarenteed You just have to act your age Or wind up inside a cage Back in Nagasaki Where the fellers chew tobaccy And the women wicky-wacky Woo
With an ice-cream cone and a bottle of tea You can rest all day by the hickory tree But when night comes round, oh gosh oh gee Mother, mother, mother, pin a rose on me.
Those pretty mamas In pink pyjamas They try to give you a kiss Those torid teases In B.V.D.ses Heaven help a sailor on a night like this! Not too gentle and not too rough But you've got to tell them when you've had enough Back in Nagasaki Where the fellers chew tobaccy And the women wicky-wacky Woo
In A Rainbow Composer(s): Alex Delzoppo Performer(s): Sweetwater
I'm in a rainbow And I'm feeling mighty good Colored vibrations passing me by Some going through me Not telling me why Some slow and some fast And some teaching me how to fly
I'm in a rainbow And I'm feeling mighty good Noises to see and colors that sound Voices from nowhere and yet so profound Naming off colors and places That just can't be found
I'm in a rainbow And I'm feeling might good Constantly moving but not knowing where Gazing at hypnotic things here and there And always thinking ahead 'Cause the past couldn't care
J'étais dans ton quartier pour essayer de te revoir Mais lorque tu ma vus tu as changé de trottoir Tu es rentrée chez toi et tu as fermé les rideaux J'ai dormi sur un banc avec des frissons dans le dos
Nadine Nadine où es-tu Oh, Nadine Nadine où es-tu Oh, j'aimerais tellement te revoir Mais comment te le faire savoir
Avec ma Cadillac je suis venu le lendemain Sur ton vélo tu partais pour un rendez-vous lointain J'aurais voulu t'accompagner seulement main dans la main Je ne voulais pas voir celui qui serait le prochain
Nadine Nadine où es-tu Oh, Nadine Nadine où es-tu Oh, j'aimerais tellement te revoir Mais comment te le faire savoir
Je t'ai envoyé les meilleurs copains pour te parler En espérant qu'il pourraient enfin te décider Tu les as tous renvoyé excepté mon seul ami Que tu as gardé auprès de toi pendant toute la nuit
Nadine Nadine où es-tu Oh, Nadine Nadine où es-tu Oh, j'aimerais tellement te revoir Mais comment te le faire savoir
J'ai passé mes jours mes nuits à essayer de te trouver Je t'aime plus que moi et je veux te le prouver Je mettrai ces paroles au milieu de ma chanson Et tous les soirs sur la scène je hurlerai ton nom
Nadine Nadine où es-tu Oh, Nadine Nadine où es-tu Oh, j'aimerais tellement te revoir Mais comment te le faire savoir
Nadine Nadine où es-tu Oh, Nadine Nadine où es-tu Oh, j'aimerais tellement te revoir Mais comment te le faire savoir...
In A New York Minute Composer(s): Michael Garvin; Tom Shapiro; Chris Waters Performer(s): Ronnie McDowell
Ever since I've known you You've belonged to someone else So we've never talked about romance But I think it's time I told you The way I've always felt And what I'd do if I got the chance
I'd make love to you in a New York minute And take my Texas time doing it I'd do you every way but wrong I'd make love to you in a New York minute And take my Texas time doing it I'd prove to you that in my arms is where you belong
Don't misunderstand me I wouldn't steal you from your man But if he's ever fool enough to leave Well you know how to reach me And you know where I am And you know what I'd do if you were free
I'd make love to you in a New York minute And take my Texas time doing it I'd do you every way but wrong I'd make love to you in a New York minute And take my Texas time doing it I'd prove to you that in my arms is where you belong
Nadine Composer(s): Chuck Berry; Alan Freed Performer(s): Chuck Berry; and various other artists
I got on a city bus and found a vacant seat I thought I saw my future bride walking up the street I shouted to the driver hey conductor, you must slow down I think I see her please let me off this bus
Nadine, honey is that you? Oh, Nadine Honey, is that you? Seems like every time I see you Darling you got something else to do
[Alternate verse: Seems like every time I catch you datcha you're up to something new]
I saw her from the corner when she turned and doubled back And started walkin' toward a coffee colored cadillac I was pushin' through the crowd to get to where she's at And I was campaign shouting like a southern diplomat
Downtown searching for her, looking all around Saw her getting in a yellow cab heading up town I caught a loaded taxi, paid up everybody's tab With a twenty dollar bill, told him 'catch that yellow cab'
She move around like a wave of summer breeze go, driver, go, go, catch her balmy breeze Moving thru the traffic like a mounted cavalier Leaning out the taxi window trying to make her hear
In A Monastery Garden Composer(s): Albert W. Ketèlbey Performer(s): Peter Dawson and multiple other artists
Through the misty twilight falling Voices from afar are calling Calling all the weary Homeward to their rest
The evening bell is softly peeling While from off the cloisters stealing A sweet prayer of mercy Peaceful and so blessed
I wandered alone in a strange land And the night seemed so dark and drear When the sound of a voice seemed to call me And brought to my mind a memory dear
It told of the joy and the gladness That comes from the one above Oh Lord, hear our prayers, take away all our care And fill our hearts with love
Joy will come again with morning Travels fast, a cloud is forming God is love and gives us All eternal rest
Nadie Me Ama Title In Portuguese: Ninguem Me Ama Composer(s): Fernando Lobo; Antonio María; M. Salina Performer(s): Nat King Cole; and various other artists
Nadie me ama Nadie me quiere Nadie me llama Nadie me es fiel
Triste es mi vida Sin un cariño Lloro en silencio Mi desventura
Voy por el mundo cruel De fracaso en fracaso Llamo a la puerta del cielo Que nunca traspaso
Vencido y cansado De tanto sufrir Yo ruego a Dios Que se apiade de mí
Triste es mi vida Lloro en silencio Mi desventura
Voy por el mundo cruel De fracaso en fracaso Llamo a la puerta del cielo Que nunca traspaso
Vencido y cansado De tanto sufrir Yo ruego a Dios Que se apiade de mí

In a mellow tone Feelin' fancy free And I'm not alone I've got company Everything's ok The live-long day With this mellow song I can't go wrong
In a mellow tone That's the way to live If you mope and groan Something's gotta give Just go your way And laugh and play You know there's joy unknown In a mellow tone
In --- a mellow tone that's the way to live If you mope and groan Something's got to give Just go your way And laugh and play You know there's joy unknown In a mellow tone Just go your way And laugh and play You know there's joy unknown In a mellow tone
In A Mansion Stands My Love Composer(s): Johnny Russell Performer(s): Jim Reeves and multiple other artists
On a mountain stands a mansion so fine And it looks down on this cabin of mine I had a love and I loved her true But along came a rich man and loved her too Now, on a mountain, in a mansion stands my love
Well, he promised he'd buy her diamond rings Yes, he promised fancy dresses and things He promised everything indeed But he can't buy the love that a poor heart needs On a mountain in a mansion so fine
Now, I know that she's not happy there And I know that she's got pain bad My only dream is that some day She'll come right back here and stay In the cabin, in the valley, with me
On a mountain stands a mansion so fine And it looks down on this cabin of mine I had a love and I loved her true But along came a rich man and loved her too Now, on a mountain, in a mansion stands my love....
Nadie Detiene Al Amor En Un Lugar Performer(s): Fito Paez
Ya está bien asi no ves lo que pasó pensamos que jamás iba a pasar... nadie detiene al amor en un lugar sólo recuerdo tu voz, pidiendo que acercara aquel metal sólo quedamos tu y yo en la inmensidad
No podré vivir sin ti, lo se quebrado en una celda en soledad nadie detiene al amor al lugar sólo recuerdo tu voz, pidiendo que golpeara sin piedad es que nadie detiene al amor en un lugar...
Sobre la madrugada te até con infinita calma la mañana disipó las aguas cuando despertaste no dijieste nada nada, nada, nada nada, nada más
In A Little Town Near By Composer(s): Florence Turner-Maley; Amy Ashmore Clark Performer(s): William Simmons
In mem'ry I see an old homestead rare That was heaven on earth to me It was plain and so humble, yet naugh can compare With that spot where I long to be
In a little house on a little street In a little town near by Where the roses climb o'er the garden wall And you hear the robins cry Where peace and rest make life seem blest When I'm weary how I sigh For that little house on a little street In a little town near by
In fancy I see the old fireplace And you, Mother mine, sitting there As the glow from your embers enlightened your face When you sat in your rocking chair
In a little house on a little street In a little town near by Where the roses climb o'er the garden wall And you hear the robins cry Where peace and rest make life seem blest When I'm weary how I sigh For that little house on a little street In a little town near by
In A Little Spanish Town (Dutch Version: Aan Het Spaanse Strand - 1974) Composer(s): Sam Lewis; Joe Young; Mabel Wayne First release by: Paul Whiteman & His Orch. - 1926 Covered by multiple other artists
In a little Spanish town, 'twas on a night like this Stars were peek-a-booing down, 'twas on a night like this I whispered "Be true to me" and she sighed "si, si" Many skies have turned to grey because we're far apart Many moons have passed away and she's still in my heart We made a promise and sealed it with a kiss In a little Spanish town, 'twas on a night like this

Composer(s): Herre De Vos - Al Bryan - L. Rosenstock
Performer(s): Bobby Breen
In a little Dutch kindergarten By the little old Zuiderzee There was started the sweetest romance That anyone could see She was dimpled and round and rosy There was mischief within his eyes But the teacher was never nosey So the teacher never got wise They would share their sweets Each day in the sweetest way That was twenty years ago And they do the same today Now they're married and they're so happy And they're sending their children three To that little Dutch kindergarten Down by the Zuiderzee
Nada Nos Separará Composer(s): Jean Felix; Francis Lalanne Performer(s): José Feliciano
Prométeme amor mío que si vives más que yo nunca sufrirás el frío de la ausencia que cayó si la muerte me programa en su gran computador no pienses que será un drama no piense en lo peor
Piensa en mí como te quiero nada nos separará piensa en mi cómo te quiero y eso nos protegerá piensa en mi cómo te quiero nuestra vida no se irá aunque me lleve la muerte con ella nada nos separará
En primavera el invierno siempre se convertirá y en paraíso el infierno si lo quieres cambiará si la muerte me programa en su gran computador sólo me sacará el alma no se llevará mi amor
In A Golden Coach (There's a Heart of Gold) Composer(s): Ronald Jamieson; Harry Leon Performer(s): Dickie Valentine; Billy Cotton
On a day in June, when the flowers are in Bloom That day will make history, yes, world history The warm, friendly sun will shine down on dear old London town And this wonderful picture you'll see
In a golden coach, there's a heart of gold Driving through old London town With the sweetest Queen the world's ever seen Wearing her golden crown As she drives in state through the palace gate Her beauty the whole world will see In a golden coach there's a heart of gold That belongs to you and me
In a golden coach, there's a heart of gold Driving through old London town She's the sweetest Queen the world's ever seen Wearing her golden crown. As she drives in state through the palace gate Her beauty the whole world will see In a golden coach there's a heart of gold That belongs to you and me
Heridas como manos enlazadas con nudos de una silenciosa trampa temores que deforman las palabras sonidos de mortal ineficacia intentan una equívoca jugada gratuita como el aire de las jaulas enferma la razón tiene morada haciendo de saliva a las montañas
Qué pasa, que no hay nada más que nada nada de nada nada más que nada
El frío del pasado a las espaldas construye espejos tras cada ventana la luz, cuando una vela está apagada tropieza con su llama imaginaria Se agrieta una canción en la guitarra regando sus latidos en voz baja y así, inexorable, el tiempo pasa inmóvil, detenido en su mortaja
Qué pasa, que no hay nada más que nada nada de nada nada más que nada
