Auf Wiederseh'n, My Dear Composer(s): Al Goodhart - Al Hoffman - Eric Nelson - Milton Ager Performer(s): Jerry Vale and multiple other artists
It happened in Vienna If you were there you'd see Two lovers in the moonlight beneath the linden tree Sweet violins are playing And to his love forever saying
Come let us go down lovers lane Once more to sing love's own refrain Though we must say auf wiedersehen Auf wiedersehen, my dear
Here in your arms I can't remain So let me kiss you once again Soon we must say auf wiedersehen Auf wiedersehen, my dear
Your love will cling to me through the lonely daytime Each night will bring to me the magic memory of May-time
I know my heart won't beat again Until the day we meet again Sweetheart, goodbye, auf wiedersehen Auf wiedersehen, my dear
Your love will cling to me through the lonely daytime Each night will bring to me the magic memory of May-time
I know my heart won't beat again Until the day we meet again Sweetheart, goodbye, auf wiedersehen Auf wiedersehen, my dear
Don't Bring Lulu Composer(s): Lew Brown - Billy Rose - Ray Henderson Performer(s): Ernest Hare & Billy Jones and multiple other artists
Your presence is requested, wrote little Johnny White But with this invitation, there is a stipulation When you attend this party, you'll be treated right, but There's a wild and wooly woman you boys can't invite, now...
You can bring Pearl, she's a darn nice girl, but don't bring Lulu You can bring Rose with the turned up nose, but don't bring Lulu Lulu always wants to do, what we boys don't want her to When she struts her stuff around, London bridge is falling down You can bring cake or Porterhouse steak, but don't bring Lulu Lulu gets blue and she goes cuckoo like the clock on the shelf She's the kind of smartie who breaks up every party Hullabalooloo, don't bring Lulu, I'll bring her myself
We all went to the party, real high-toned affair Then along came Lulu, wild as any Zulu She started into Charleston, and how the boys did stare, but When she did the hula-hula, then she got the air, now...
You can bring Pearl, she's a darn nice girl, but don't bring Lulu You can bring Rose with the turned up nose, but don't bring Lulu Lulu always wants to do, what we boys don't want her to When she struts her stuff around, London bridge is falling down You can bring cake or Porterhouse steak, but don't bring Lulu Lulu gets blue and she goes cuckoo like the clock on the shelf She's the kind of smartie who breaks up every party Hullabalooloo, don't bring Lulu, I'll bring her myself
Fräulein mine, the silvry Rhine is gleaming in the moonlight The trumpets blast Has come at last Upon this silent June night Your tear dimmed eyes like star lit skies Look into mine with yearning They plead in vain Auf Wiedersehn Some day I'll be returning
Fräulein mine, though stars may shine And foaming steins be clinking By campfires bright A toast each night To you I will be drinking No dark eyed maid I'll serenade Our tale of love to hinder To each I'll vow I've got a Frau And half a dozen kinder
There's a smile on your lips Fräulein darling There are tears in your eyes of blue And the sound of the trumpet is calling Fare thee well, fare thee well to you Though we part, still my heart will be yearning Till we meet by the beautiful Rhine Fräulein mine, for Auld Lang Syne down by the Rhine we'll drink a stein Auf Wiedersehn, Fräulein!

Auf Dem Mond Da Blühen Keine Rosen Composer(s): K. Munro - Leo Leandros Performer(s): Vicky Leandros
Wenn ein Astronaut mir sagte "Komm, ich fahr mit dir zum Mond steig doch ein, so eine Reise, die ist toll!" dann sagte ich: Nein, ohne mich! Ich wüßte wirklich nicht, was ich da oben soll
Auf dem Mond da blühen keine Rosen auf dem Mond gibt´s keinen Mondenschein Darum fahr ich nicht hin denn das hat keinen Sinn da gibt's nur Wüste und Stein Nein, ich bleib lieber hier auf der Erde bei dir denn nur hier können wir glücklich sein La la la ....
Auf dem Mond, da blühen keine Rosen da gibt´s nirgendwo Musik und Wein Darum fahr ich nicht fort denn an so einem Ort kann keine Liebe gedeihn Nein, ich bleib lieber hier auf der Erde bei dir denn nur hier können wir glücklich sein La la la ....
Auf dem Mond, da hab ich nichts verloren Meine Welt ist diese Welt allein Hier blüh´n Rosen für mich und mein Herz schlägt für dich hier gibt´s Musik und Mondenschein Darum bleibe ich hier auf der Erde bei dir denn nur hier können wir glücklich sein La la la ....

Don't Break My Heart Again
Composer(s): David Coverdale
Performer(s): Whitesnake; The Company of Snakes
I'm gonna take it to the limit of my love Before I turn and walk away I've had enough of holding on The promises of yesterday Every day of my life, it seems Trouble's knocking at my door It's hard to try and satisfy When you don't know what you're fighting for
Time and again I sing your song But, I've been runnin' on empty far too long I've had enough holdin' on to the past Make no mistake, it could be your last
Don't break my heart again, like you did before Don't break my heart again, I couldn't take anymore
I never hide the feeling inside And though I'm standing my back to the wall I know that even in a summer love A little bit of rain must fall But, every road I take I know Where it's gonna lead me to Because I've travelled every highway And they all keep coming back to you
Time and again I sing your song But, I've been runnin' on empty far too long I've had enough holdin' on to the past Make no mistake, it could be your last
Don't break my heart again, like you did before Don't break my heart again, I couldn't take anymore Don't break my heart
Don't break my heart again, like you did before Don't break my heart again, I couldn't take anymore
The Auctioneer Composer(s): Buddy Black - Leroy Van Dyke Performer(s): Leroy Van Dyke and multiple other artists
There was a boy in Arkansas who wouldn't listen to his ma When she told him that he should go to school He'd sneak away in the afternoon, take a little walk and pretty soon You'd find him at the local auction barn Well he'd stand and listen carefully then pretty soon he began to see How the auctioneer could talk so rapidly He said, "Oh my it's do or die I've got to learn that auction cry Gotta make my mark and be an auctioneer"
25 dollar 30 now 30 dollar 30 dollar 30 dollar 30 dollar give me a hollar 30 dollar who will bid it at a 35 dollar bid? 35 dollar 35 35 make it 35 and a 35 make it 35 and a 35 Who will bid it at a 35 dollar bid?
As time went on he did his best and all could see he didn't jest He practied on and then some night and day His pappy'd find him behind the barn just a workin up an awful storm As he tried to imitate the auctioneer Said his pappy, "Son we just can't stand a havin' a mediocre man You gotta take that auction usin' our good name I'll send you off to auction school and then you'll be nobody's fool You can take your place among the best"
35 dollar 40 now 40 dollar 40 dollar 40 dollar 40 dollar give me a hollar 40 dollar Who will bid it at at a 40 dollar bid? 40 dollar 45 45 will you make it 45 give me 45 and a 45 Who will bid it at a 45 dollar bid?
So from that morning he went to school there grew a man who played it cool He came back home a full fledged auctioneer And people came from miles around just to hear him make that rhythmic sound That filled their hearts with such a happy cheer His fame reached out from shore to shore he had all he could do and more He had to buy a plane to get around Now he's the tops in all the land so let's all give that man a hand He's the best of all the auctioneers
45 dollar 50 now 50 dollar 50 dollar 50 dollar 50 dollar give me a hollar 50 dollar Who will bid it at a 50 dollar bill? 50 dollar 55 55 make it 55 and a 55 make it 55 and Sold that horse for a 50 dollar bill

Composer(s): George Harrison
First release by: The Beatles - 1963
Covered by multiple other artists
Since she's been gone I want no one to talk to me It's not the same but I'm to blame It's plain to see
So go away and leave me alone Don't bother me
I can't believe that she would leave me on my own It's just not right where every night I'm all alone
I've got no time for you right now Don't bother me
I know I'll never be the same If I don't get her back again because I know she'll always be The only girl for me
But till she's here please don't come near just stay away I'll let you know when she's come home Till that the day
Don't come around leave me alone Don't bother me
I've got no time for you right now Don't bother me
I know I'll never be the same If I don't get her back again because I know she'll always be The only girl for me
But till she's here please don't come near just stay away I'll let you know when she's come home Till that the day
Don't come around leave me alone Don't bother me Don't bother me Don't bother me
Aubrey Composer(s): David Gates First release by: Bread - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists
And Aubrey was her name A not so very ordinary girl or name But who's to blame? For a love that wouldn't bloom For the hearts that never played in tune Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing Take away the words that rhyme it doesn't mean a thing
And Aubrey was her name We triped the light and danced together to the moon But where was June No it never came around If it did it never made a sound Maybe I was absent or was listening to fast Catching all the words, but then the meaning going past
But God I miss the girl And I'd go a thousand times around the world just to be Closer to her than to me
And Aubrey was her name I never knew her, but I loved her just the same I loved her name Wish that I had found the way And the reasons that would make her stay I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest If I can't have the one I want, I'll do without the best
But how I miss the girl And I'd go a million times around the world just to say She had been mine for a day

Auberge Composer(s): Chris Rea Performer(s): Chris Rea
On the hard fast train on the road to gain Something gets right through to your telling bone Here's a sudden itch an electric twich Sometimes I swear this body's got a mind of it's own This is the naked truth this is the light There's only one place left to go Auberge
You meet a silent type on a windy trail With a shiny cloak and an unseen silver dagger You can talk till you ache give yourself one more break You can tell by the look on his face that it just doesn't matter Cause this is the naked truth and this is the light There's only one place left to got Auberge Auberge
Give me a weekend give me a day Don't like what I'm seeing though I hear what you say Think with a dagger and you'll die on your knees Begging for mercy singing please mister please This is the naked truth this is the light There's only one place left to go Auberge
Au Voleur! Composer(s): Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Mon front est moite Je tremble un peu Ma tête éclate Je suis nerveux J'ai l'impression qu'on me regarde Et dans la nuit où naît la peur Que des doigts tendus me poignardent Au Voleur!
Rien n'est trop sombre Rien n'est trop sûr Je ne suis qu'ombre Je me fais mur Comme un félin je me déplace Raflant les objets de valeur La gorge serrée par l'angoisse Au Voleur!
Parce qu'elle aime les fourrures La vie facile et les plaisirs Les robes de haute couture Que je ne pouvais lui offrir De peur qu'un jour elle me quitte Pour trouver tout cela ailleurs J'ai choisi pour garder son cur De tenter gros, de jouer vite Au Voleur!
Chaque seconde Semble une année Les bruits du monde Sont amplifiés Au loin une horloge qui sonne Un craquement, une lueur Font que je me fige et frissonne Au Voleur!
Un vide immense Se fait en moi Puis le silence Reprend ses droits Je fais les choses quatre à quatre Mais à chaque bruit, chaque heurt J'ai le cur qui cesse de battre Au Voleur!
À bout de nerf lorsque je rentre Aux heures grises du matin Les traits tirés la peur au ventre Elle contemple mon butin Puis en faisant son il de biche Elle murmure avec candeur Qu'au fond l'argent n'a pas d'odeur Et qu'après tout on prend qu'aux riches
La nuit tandis que De plus en plus Je prends des risques Et m'évertue À lui faire une vie de rêve Je vois soudain doubler ma peur À l'idée qu'un autre m'enlève Ce bonheur Qui est plus que ma vie Ne me laissant qu'un cri Au Voleur, Au Voleur, Au Voleur!
Don't Bite The Hand That's Feeding You
Composer(s): Jimmie Morgan - Thomas Hoier
Performer(s): Eddie Morton
and multiple other artists
Last night, as I lay a-sleeping A wonderful dream came to me I saw Uncle Sammy weeping For his children from over the sea
They had come to him, friendless and starving When from tyrants' oppression they fled But now they abuse and revile him Till at last in just anger he said
If you don't like your Uncle Sammy Then go back to your home o'er the sea To the land from where you came, whatever be its name But don't be ungrateful to me!
If you don't like the stars in Old Glory If you don't like the Red, White and Blue Then don't act like the cur in the story Don't bite the hand that's feeding you!
You recall the day you landed How I welcomed you to my shore When you came here empty handed And allegiance forever you swore
I gathered you close to my bosom Of food and of clothes you got both So, when in trouble, I need you You will have to remember your oath
If you don't like your Uncle Sammy Then go back to your home o'er the sea To the land from where you came, whatever be its name But don't be ungrateful to me!
If you don't like the stars in Old Glory If you don't like the Red, White and Blue Then don't act like the cur in the story Don't bite the hand that's feeding you!
Au Temps Du Pain Et De L'eau Composer(s): Yves Duteil Performer(s): Yves Duteil
Au temps où nous n'avions que du pain et de l'eau Où tu trouvais moyen de nous faire des gâteaux Ton amour dépassait les murs de la maison En guise de cadeau, je t'offrais des chansons
On pourrait supposer que les choses ont changé Mais ta main dans la mienne est toujours si serrée Que même en plein sommeil, nos rêves entremêlés Nous préparent des jours qu'il me reste à chanter
Le Soleil un matin se lèvera sans nous Mais nous serons ensemble ailleurs, un peu partout Dans tout ce qu'on bâtit, guidés par ton sourire Les curs que ton regard m'a permis d'entr'ouvrir
Sur les lieux, les objets qui les ont abrités Les instants de bonheur restent à jamais gravés Maillons de cette chaîne où le temps n'a plus cours Je suis sûr qu'on demeure à travers son amour
Toit tes éclats de rire ont parsemé la vie De ces millions d'étoiles que l'on peut voir d'ici On peut trouver le ciel en cherchant leur lumière Aux sources de tes yeux, je bois tout l'Univers
Tu sèmes autour de toi ces graines de tendresse Qui germent, qui fleurissent et s'ouvrent en richesse La voile de ton amour entraînée par le vent Nous emporte plus haut comme un grand cerf-volant
Mais je crois que j'irai beaucoup plus loin encore Pour couvrir de soleil les chemins de ton corps Et pour que notre histoire ne soit jamais finie J'épouserai ton âme au seuil du Paradis
Comme au temps des goûters où au pain et à l'eau Tu trouvais le moyen de nous faire des gâteaux Ton amour a franchi les murs de l'horizon Et quand pour te fêter je t'écris des chansons
Il est vrai qu'à présent les choses ont bien changé Mais ta main dans la mienne est toujours si serrée Que même en plein sommeil nos rêves entremêlés Me rendent à la lumière, et me portent à chanter
Don't Bet Money Honey Composer(s): Linda Scott Performer(s): Linda Scott
Don't bet money, honey Our love will last Don't bet money, honey I know the past You lied to me before and I know You'll lie, yes you'll lie again
I told you once, I told you twice And maybe even three times before That our love could never be Now I was right, you know I'm right Oh baby, how you know I'm right Can't you see what you're doin' to me
Don't bet money, honey Our love will last Don't bet money, honey I know the past You lied to me before and I know You'll lie, yes you'll lie again
Don't bet money, honey Our love will last Don't bet money, honey I know the past You lied to me before and I know You'll lie, yes you'll lie I know I'll be right You'll lie, yes you'll lie again
