    Born To Be Alive
    Composer(s): Patrick Hernandez
    First release by: Patrick Hernandez - 1979
    Covered by multiple other artists

    Versions In Other Languages:
    1979 - Otteen Elämään Sain (by Pentti Oskari Kankaan 7 Seinähullua Veljestä)
    2003 - Geboorn Voe Te Leevn (by De Flandriens)



    We were born to be alive
    We were born to be alive

    Born, born to be alive
    (Won't you be alive)
    You see you were born
    Born, born
    (Born to be alive)

    People ask me why
    I never find a place to stop
    And settle down, down, down
    But I never wanted all those things
    People need to justify
    Their lives, lives, lives

    You see you were
    Born, born, born to be alive
    (Born to be alive)
    You see you were
    Born, born, born
    (Born to be alive)
    It's good to be alive
    To be alive
    To be alive

    It's good to be alive
    To be alive
    To be alive

    It's good to be alive

    Time was on my side
    When I was running down the street
    It was so fine, fine, fine
    A suitcase and an old guitar
    And something new to occupy
    My mind, mind, mind

    You see you were born, born
    Born to be alive
    (Born to be alive)
    You see you were born, born, born
    (Born to be alive)
    You see you were born, born
    Born to be alive
    (Born to be alive)
    You see you were born, born, born
    (Born to be alive)
    You see you were born, born
    Born to be alive
    (Born to be alive)
    You see you were born, born, born
    (To be alive)
    Born, born to be alive
    (Born to be alive)
    You see you were born, born, born
    (Born to be alive)
    Born, born to be alive

    Doggone (My Dog's Gone)
    Composer(s): Vance Bulla
    Performer(s): Junior Samples



    Doggone, My Dog's Gone
    That Doggone Dog I Own Is Gone From Me
    Doggone, My Dog's Gone
    And I Sure Will Miss His Doggone Company

    When He Left I Lost My Source Of Income
    Stud Fee Plus A Hundred Bucks A Pup
    Now The Entire Doggone Neighborhood Will Have One
    If I Don't Find That Mutt And Lock Him Up

    Doggone, My Dog's Gone
    That Doggone Dog I Own Is Gone From Me
    Doggone, My Dog's Gone
    And I Sure Will Miss His Doggone Company

    That Doggone Ol' Dog Is Like No Dog To Me
    A Dog In Hand Is Worth Two In A Bush To Me
    If I Don't Lock That Doggone Dog Up Quickly
    The Local Hounds Will Have His Service Free

    Doggone, My Dog's Gone
    That Doggone Dog I Own Is Gone From Me
    Doggone, My Dog's Gone
    And His Value Is Declining Rapidly

    Lady, Has My Dog Gone By Here Lately?
    He's A Rare Breed I Need Locked Up Tight
    Potatoes Ain't Expensive 'Cause They're Plentiful
    And He'll Be Like Potatoes By Tonight

    Doggone, My Dog's Gone
    That Doggone Dog I Own Is Gone From Me
    Doggone, My Dog's Gone
    And His Value Is Declining Rapidly

    You'd better stop, yeah, doooogin' around

    Ah, you know ya go out nights
    To have yourself a ball
    Sometimes you don't
    You don't make it home at all
    I don't mind you havin' yourself a real good time
    But now, what you're tryin' to do
    Is tryin' to make me lose my mind

    Better stop, yeah, dooooogin' me around
    If you don't stop, I'm gonna put you down
    Yes, put you down
    I don't wanna do it
    But I'll have to put you down...
    I love you, baby
    But I'll still have to put you down

    At The Chime Of A City Clock
    Composer(s): Nick Drake
    First release by: Nick Drake - 1970



    A city freeze
    Get on your knees
    Pray for warmth and green paper
    A city drought
    You're down and out
    See your trousers don't taper
    Saddle up
    Kick your feet
    Ride the range of a london street
    Travel to a local plane
    Turn around and come back again

    And at the chime of the city clock
    Put up your road block
    Hang on to your crown
    For a stone in a tin can
    Is wealth to the city man
    Who leaves his armour down

    Stay indoors
    Beneath the floors
    Talk with neighbours only
    The games you play
    Make people say
    You're either weird or lonely
    A city star
    Won't shine too far
    On account of the way you are
    And the beads
    Around your face
    Make you sure to fit back in plac

    And at the beat of the city drum
    See how your friends come in twos

    Or threes or more
    For the sound of a busy place
    Is fine for a pretty face
    Who knows what a face is for

    The city clown
    Will soon fall down
    Without a face to hide in
    And he will lose
    If he won't choose
    The one he may confide in
    Sonny boy
    With smokes for sale
    Went to ground with a face so pale
    And never heard
    About the change
    Showed his hand and fell out of range

    In the light of a city square
    Find out the face that's fair
    Keep it by your side.
    When the light of the city falls
    You fly to the city walls
    Take off with your bride

    But at the chime of a city clock
    Put up your road block
    Hang on to your crown
    For a stone in a tin can
    Is wealth to the city man
    Who leaves his armour down

    The Tattooed Lady
    Composer(s): Dave Guard - Nick Reynolds - Bob Shane
    Performer(s): The Kingston Trio; Jethro Burns



    We came to town to see
    That old tattooed lady
    She was a sight to see
    Tattooed from head to knee

    My uncle Ned was there
    He came to gape and stare
    "I've never!" he declared
    "Seen such a freak so fair"

    And on her jaw
    Was the Royal Flying Corp
    And on her back was the Union Jack
    Now could you ask for more?

    All up and down her spine
    Marched the Queen's own guards in line
    And all around her hips
    Sailed a fleet of battleships

    And over her left kidney
    Was a bird's eye view of Sidney
    But what we liked best was upon her chest
    My little home in Waikiki! (What did you say?)

    Because I Love You
    Performer(s): Buddy Holly



    Well they say what you don't know won't hurt you
    And I believe that it's so
    So don't tell me that you found someone new
    To go thru life with you

    Because I love you my darling, my dearest I love you
    You're the one I want nearest, may I love you
    And I will bet you love me too

    Oh, I'd rather die thinking you love me
    Than to go on thru life without you
    And you with someone new
    To go thru life with you

    Well, because I love you, I love you, my darling
    My dearest I love you, I love you
    You're the one I want nearest, may I love you, I love you
    And I will bet you love me too

    Oh, I'd rather die thinking you love me

    Dog And Butterfly
    Composer(s): Ann Wilson - Nancy Wilson - Sue Ennis
    Performer(s): Heart; Kat Zotos



    There I was with the old man
    stranded again, so off I'd ran

    A young world crashing around me
    no possibilities of getting what I need
    He looked at me and smiled
    said, "No no no no no child"

    See the dog and butterfly
    Up in the air he like to fly
    Dog and butterfly
    Below she had to try
    She roll back down to the warm soft ground
    Laughing, she don't know why
    She don't know why
    Dog and butterfly

    Well I stumbled upon your secret place
    Safe in the trees you had tears on your face
    Wrestling with your desires
    frozen strangers stealing your fires
    The message hit my mind
    Only words that I could find

    See the dog and butterfly
    Up in the air he like to fly
    Dog and butterfly
    Below she had to try
    She roll back down to the warm soft ground
    Laughing to the sky
    Up to the sky
    Dog and butterfly

    We're getting older
    the world's getting colder
    For the life of me
    I don't know the reason why
    Maybe it's living, making us give in
    Hearts rolling in, taken back on the tide
    We're balanced together, ocean upon the sky

    Another night in a strange town
    Moonlight holding me light as down
    Voice of confusion inside of me
    begging to go back where I'm free
    Feels like I'm through
    Then the old man's words are true

    See the dog and butterfly
    Up in the air he like to fly
    Dog and butterfly
    Below she had to try
    She roll back down to the warm soft ground
    with a little tear in her eye
    She had to try...she had to try
    Dog and butterfly

    At The Ball, That's All
    Composer(s): T. Marvin Hatley
    Performer(s): Laurel & Hardy & The Avalon Boys



    Commence advancin', commence advancin'
    Just start a prancin', right and left a-glancin'
    A moochee dancin', slide and glide entrancin'
    You do the tango jiggle
    With a Texas Tommy wiggle

    Take your partner, and you hold her
    Lightly enfold her, a little bolder
    Just work your shoulder
    Snap your fingers one and all, in the hall
    At the ball, that's all, some ball

    Many years ago I met him
    Evil man I can’t forget him
    Santiago haunts me every night

    Many girls can try to keep him
    Many women end up weeping

    Let’s dance … dance, dance, dance …… Santiago Man
    dance … dance, dance, dance …… Santiago Man

    Breaking every heart in two and
    Shaking every husband too and
    Santiago always has a ball

    Playing with the lives of many
    But he doesn’t care for any
    Santiago says he loves them all

    He’s a lover-man
    Catch him if you can

    Oh! Santiago Lover – Love Me And Then
    Let’s dance … dance, dance, dance …… Santiago Man

    Hmm, he-he
    Oh, hey
    Doesn’t matter (it doesn’t matter)
    Doesn’t matter at all

    Doesn’t matter what your friends are telling you
    Doesn’t matter what my family’s saying too
    It just matters that I’m in love with you
    It only matters that you love me too

    It doesn’t matter if they won’t accept you
    I’m accepting of you and the things you do
    Just as long as it’s you
    Nobody but you, baby, baby

    My love for you, unconditional love too
    Gotta get up, get up
    Get up, get up, get up and show you that it

    Doesn’t really matter what the eye is seeing
    'Cause I’m in love with the inner being
    And it doesn’t really matter what they believe
    What matters to me is you’re in love with me

    Doesn’t really matter what the eye is seeing
    'Cause I’m in love with the inner being
    And it doesn’t really matter what they believe
    What matters to me is you’re nutty-nutty-nutty for me

    (you’re so kind)
    Just what I asked for, you’re so loving and kind
    (and you’re mine)
    And I can’t believe you’re mine

    Doesn’t matter if you’re feeling insecure
    Doesn’t matter if you’re feeling so unsure
    'Cause I’ll take away the doubt within your heart
    And show that my love will never hurt or harm

    Doesn’t matter what the pain we go through
    Doesn’t matter if the money’s gone too
    Just as long as I’m with you
    Nobody but you, baby, baby

    You’re love for me, unconditional I see
    Gotta get up, get up
    Get up, get up, get up and show you that it

    My love for you unconditional love too
    Gotta get up, get up
    Get up, get up, get up and show you that
    My love is true, and it’s just for you, uh

    Doesn’t really matter what the eye is seeing
    'Cause I’m in love with the inner being
    And it doesn’t really matter what they believe

    I can’t believe my dreams come true
    I’ve finally found somebody whose heart is true
    And best of all you love me to
    And nutty-nutty-nutty my love for you
    I can’t believe my dreams come true
    I’ve finally found somebody whose heart is true
    And best of all you’re nutty-nutty-nutty for me

    Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
    Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
    Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
    Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

    Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
    Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
    Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
    Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

    Nutty-nutty-nutty my love for you
    I can’t believe my dreams come true
    (he-he)
    I’ve finally found somebody whose heart is true
    And best of all you’re nutty-nutty-nutty for me
    Nutty-nutty-nutty my love for you
    (I’m always doing that!)
    I can’t believe my dreams come true
    I’ve finally found somebody whose heart is true
    And best of all you’re nutty-nutty-nutty for me

    At The Balalaika
    Composer(s): George Forrest - Eric Maschwitz - Simon Posford - Herbert Stothart - Robert B. Wright
    Performer(s): Nelson Eddy & Jeanette Macdonald
    and multiple other artists



    When the melancholy shadows fall
    My heart is melancholy too
    Then I hear the Balalaika's call
    And life is gay and bright and new

    At the Balalaika
    Where there is magic in the sparkling wine
    And mellow music in the candles' shine
    I have a rendezvous!
    At the Balalaika
    Who knows what ecstasy tonight may bring
    What lovely melody my heart may sing
    Before the night is through
    I hear a violin, a haunting gypsy violin
    And when it sighs its strangely tender song
    I know that I belong
    At the Balalaika
    Oh let me linger there till break of day
    Where hearts are young and balalaikas play
    I have a rendezvous!

    At the Balalaika
    Oh let me linger there till break of day
    Where hearts are young and balalaikas play
    I have a rendezvous!

    Doesn't Anybody Stay Together Anymore? Composer(s): Phil Collins - Daryl Stuermer Performer(s): Phil Collins; Paul D'Adamo



    You keep on walking so you don't fall down
    It's the same old story
    You keep on hiding so you can't be found
    It's the same old story
    Oh but I know you, you're the one who ran
    You know why, it's because you can, oh
    It's alright, cos I don't mind
    I'm just trying to help, but I wonder why
    Doesn't anybody stay together anymore
    I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
    My friends keep falling and they can't get up
    It's the same old story
    Well one says white and the other one black
    It's the same old story
    And I don't know why you keep emotions walled up
    Your heart's on your sleeve, but your sleeve is rolled up
    But it's alright, cos I don't mind
    I'm just trying to help, but I wonder why
    Doesn't anybody stay together anymore
    I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
    Things can change, from a misunderstanding
    Nobody talks, nobody hears, oh oh oh
    Makes me wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
    Oh I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
    You keep on looking for that higher ground
    It's the same old story
    Your glass is empty and the chips are down
    It's the same old story
    But I don't know why, your emotions walled up
    Your heart's on your sleeve, but your sleeve is rolled up
    But it's alright, cos I don't mind
    I'm just trying to help, but I wonder why
    Doesn't anybody stay together anymore
    I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
    Oh I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore

    At Seventeen
    ((French Version: 17 Ans (by Claude François) - 1975))
    Composer(s): Janis Ian
    First release by: Janis Ian - 1975



    I learned the truth at seventeen
    That love was meant for beauty queens
    In high school girls with clear skinned smiles
    Who married young and then retired
    The valentines I never knew
    The Friday night charades of youth
    Were spent on one more beautiful
    At seventeen I learned the truth
    And those of us with ravaged faces
    Lacking in the social graces
    Desperately remained at home
    Inventing lovers on the phone
    Who called to say come dance with me
    And murmured vague obscenities
    It isn't all it seems
    At seventeen

    A brown eyed girl in hand me downs
    Whose name I never could pronounce
    Said, Pity please the ones who serve
    They only get what they deserve
    And the rich relationed hometown queen
    Married into what she needs
    A guarantee of company
    And haven for the elderly
    Remember those who win the game
    Lose the love they sought to gain
    Indebentures of quality
    And dubious integrity
    Their small town eyes will gape at you
    in dull surprise when payment due
    Exceeds accounts received
    At seventeen

    To those of us who knew the pain
    Of valentines that never came
    And those whose names were never called
    When choosing sides for basketball
    It was long ago and far away
    The world was younger than today
    And dreams were all they gave for free
    To ugly duckling girls like me
    We all play the game and when we dare
    To cheat ourselves at solitaire
    Inventing lovers on the phone
    Repenting other lives unknown
    That call and say, come dance with me
    And murmur vague obscenities
    At ugly girls like me
    At seventeen

    Does Your Mother Know
    Performer(s): The Earls Inc.



    Does your mother know
    How much I love you
    Does she really know
    How much I care for you

    Oh, does he really know
    Does she realize
    I love you, you, you, you

    Many lonely nights I sit alone at home
    (Thinking about you)
    Thinking of you only, and girl, of you alone

    Oh, does she really know
    Does she realize
    I love you, you, you, you

    How does your mother know
    That I really love you so
    Girl, ???
    Think it would end without you

    Oh... when you're away
    I read your letters every day
    And the words I have read
    Brings me joy in so many ways

    Oh, does your mother know
    Does she realize
    I love you, you, you, you

    As I lost your love for me
    And I love you and I need you and I want you and I love

    17 Ans
    ((Adapted from: At Seventeen (by Janis Ian) - 1975))
    Composer(s): Janis Ian - Frank Thomas
    Performer(s): Claude François - 1975



    J'ai eu moi aussi dix-sept ans
    Le monde n'était pas différent
    Certains n'avaient rien à gagner
    Des places leur étaient réservées
    L'été ils avaient la villa
    L'auto que leur prêtait papa
    Leur mère leur donnait plein d'argent
    Certains ont tout à dix-sept ans

    Moi on ne me connaissait pas
    Les autres avaient tous un' vespa
    Quand j'allais
    Pour me baigner
    Avec mon chien sur la jetée
    Ils me poursuivaient en riant
    Je revenais les coudes en sang
    Le courage ça s'apprend
    À dix-sept ans

    J'allais au collège français
    J'étais dans l'équipe de relais
    Toujours le troisième coureur
    Je n'ai jamais reçu de fleurs
    Je détachais dans des revues
    Tout' celles qui étaient moitié nues
    J'ai fait l'amour solitairement
    Où est la honte
    À dix-sept ans

    Dans les rues de la haute ville
    J'ai vu mon destin difficile
    Je devais
    Pour arriver
    Serrer les poings bien des années
    Lançant des pierres contre le vent
    J'ai fait des rêves de géant
    Je suis devenu fort
    À dix-sept ans

    Alors la rage me prenait dans le cœur
    Et j'étais fils d'ambassadeur
    J'inventais oui mais j'étais
    Bien reçu et considéré
    J'étais trahi en peu de temps
    Et l'on riait à mes dépens
    Alors j'ai tout compris
    À dix-sept ans

    J'ai eu moi aussi dix-sept ans
    Un' fille s'en souvient sûrement
    Sans me demander qui j'étais
    La première fois ell' m'a aimé
    J'ai eu moi aussi dix-sept ans
    Mais qu'ils sont loin mes dix-sept ans

    Does Your Mama Know About Me? Composer(s): Tommy Chong - Tom Baird Performer(s): Bobby Taylor & The Vancouvers and multiple other artists



    (Does your mama know about me?
    Does she know just what I am?
    Will she turn her back on me)
    Or accept me as a man?

    And what about your Dad?
    Did you think of what he'll say?
    Will he be understanding
    Or does he think the usual way?

    Maybe I shouldn't worry
    But I've been through this before
    And I'd like to get things straight
    Before I'm knocking on your door

    (Does your mama know about me?
    Does she know just what I am?
    If she says forget about me)
    Do you think you'd understand?

    And what about your friends?
    Do you care what people say?
    Will you accept the burdons
    I know will surely come your way?

    Maybe I shouldn't worry
    But I've been through this before
    And I'd like to get things straight
    Before I'm knocking on your door

    (Does your mama know about me?
    Does she know just what I am?
    Will she turn her back on me?)
    Or accept me as a man?

    We've got to stand tall
    Can't stumble or crawl
    We've got to be strong
    For love that's so right
    Can't be wrong
    And every day I see it grow
    And I don't want to let it go
    I guess that's why I gotta know

    (Does your mama know about me?
    Does your mama know about me?
    Does your mama know about me?
    Does your mama know about me?
    Does your mama know about me?)

    At My Window
    Composer(s): Brian Wilson - Al Jardine
    Performer(s): The Beach Boys



    Birds fly up
    And down spinnin' round
    Flyin' all around
    From my window
    A little brown sparraw came
    Flutterin' down

    Le moineau est venu
    Se poser ma fenjtre

    He came to my window

    And as I watched him
    I found myself reelin' and turnin' around
    And the faster I ran
    I ran out of breath and I fell to the ground
    (Poof)

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

    He came to my window
    He came to my window
    He came to my window

    From their eyes
    The people must look like miniature toys

    Do do do do do
    Do do do do do do
    Fly away
    Fly away
    Fly away

    Are You With Me Baby
    Composer(s): Billy Burnette - Rafe Van Hoy
    Performer(s): Billy Burnette



    Life's too short to go too long like this
    Forget where you came from or came here with
    Let's talk some serious business
    Like just one kiss from your sweet lips

    Are you with me baby
    We're waistin' precous time
    Are you with me baby
    Then put your little hand in mine
    We're burning moonlight baby
    Please don't let me down
    Are you with me now

    Don't wanna make a scene,
    Don't wanna cause a big fuss
    I got a little feeling 'bout the two of us
    My heart's beatin' hard and it's about to bust
    Let's leave this party in a cloud of dust?

    Are you with me baby
    We're waistin' precous time
    Are you with me baby
    Then put your little hand in mine
    We're burning moonlight baby
    Please don't let me down
    Are you with me now

    As far as I can see we got an open road
    It can go on forever if we choose to go
    It's not a dream if you believe it's so
    There's just one thing that I need to know?
