C'est jours de vacances on a tous 20 ans
En plus de la chance regarde le beau temps

La main dans la main
Allons, c'est le temps de vivre, toi priez le soleil
Sa chaleur m'enivre 
Aujourd'hui c'est congé

Cheveux dans le vent, filon vite vers la plage
Là dans le ciel
Il y a pas le moindre nuage 
Aujourd'hui c'est congé

Chante avec moi le refrain du temps des vacances
Tout près de toi j'ai le cœur qui danse

Il fait si bon de s'amuser 
Aujourd'hui c'est congé
Filons dans le vent, j'entends l'amour nous appelle
Tout ça s'est un naufrage
La vie est si belle 
Aujourd'hui c'est congé

Chante avec moi le refrain du temps des vacances
Tout près de toi j'ai le cœur qui danse

Il fait si bon de s'amuser
Aujourd'hui c'est congé
Filons dans le vent, j'entends l'amour nous appelle
Tout ça s'est un naufrage
La vie est si belle 
Aujourd'hui c'est congé

Aujourd'hui c'est vraiment congé
Congé, congé

August Evening Lady
Composer(s): B.W. Stevenson
Performer(s): B.W. Stevenson



And in the middle of an August evening
You can't see her fly
The times when she was believin'
Love is showin' in his eyes
He sang her songs of givin'
He sang her songs of life
Till the day he dropped by just to say goodbye
Please don't leave me alone
Please believe me
I'll die if you are gone
And the clouds will have passed by her window
Could not stay by her side
The (new of love ???) she worshipped
She had no time to cry
She loved him in the mornings
And in the evenings too
Till the day he dropped by
To say I don't need you
It ain't me it's the times
It ain't you in my mind
I just got to leave you behind
Please don't leave me alone
Please believe me
I'll die if you are gone

Don't Bury Me 'Til I'm Ready
Performer(s): Johnny Paycheck



Don't bury me 'til I'm ready 
Don't try to say I'm gonna be missed 
Don't wave me goodbye, son, I'll spit in your eye 
'Cause I ain't going out like this
Don't wave me goodbye, son, I'll spit in your eye 
'Cause I ain't going out like this 

They tell me I'm too old to cut the mustard 
That I should go and rest a spell 
They say that I'll be dead any day now 
But they don't know this old boy too well
I've spent all my life on the bottom 
But by the grace of God I'm going to go out on the top 

But by the grace of God I'm going to go out on the top

This lovely day has flown away
The time has come to part

We'll kiss again, like this again

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

Auf Wiedersehn Fräulein
Composer(s): J. Fred Helf



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 the heart that loves you so)

Don't break the heart that loves you, handle it with care
Don't break the heart that needs you, darlin', please be fair
Why do you flirt and constantly hurt me

You know I'm jealous of you and yet you seem to try
To go out of your way to be unkind
Sweetheart, I'm begging of you don't break this heart that loves you
Don't break this heart of mine

Darling, please don't hurt me. Please, don't make me cry
I don't know what I'd do if you'd ever say goodbye

Sweetheart, I'm begging of you don't break this heart that loves you
Don't break this heart of mine

Au Delà De Mes Rêves
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



Au-delà de mes rêves
Existe un monde à moi
Au-delà de mes rêves
Je peux vivre deux fois
Au-delà de mes rêves
Je sais que tu m'envies...
Tu veux détruire mes rêves
Pour posséder mes nuits

Tu es prête à m'offrir
La chaleur de ton lit
Afin de me ravir
Ma seconde vie
Au-delà de mes rêves
Je peux vivre sans toi
Tu as beau être belle
Je ne t'appartiens pas
Non, oooh, non
Au-delà de mes rêves
Existe un monde à moi
Au-delà de mes rêves
Je peux vivre deux fois
Oh, oooh, oh, oh
Au-delà de mes rêves
Je ne t'appartiens pas
Tu as beau être belle
Je peux vivre sans toi
Oh, oooh, oh...

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

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

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

There's only one place left to go

First performance by: Walter Woolf King - 1932
Covered by multiple other artists



Don't blame me, for falling in love with you
I'm under your spell, but how can I help it
Don't blame me

Can't you see, when you do the things you do
If I can't conceal, the thrill that I'm feeling
Don't blame me

I can't help it, if that dog-goned moon above
Makes me need, someone like you to love

Blame your kiss, as sweet as a kiss can be
And blame all your charms, that melt in my arms
But don't blame me

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 cœur
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 cœur 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 œil 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!
