Love Ain't Love Composer(s): Van McCoy Performer(s): Florence Ballard; Madeline Bell
Oh what good is this love in my heart? A heart aint a heart until you share it So come on, let me share it with you Do all the things I've been longin' to
Oh a bell ain't a bell until you ring it A song ain't a song until you sing it Baby, life ain't life until you live it And love ain't love until you give it, no no no
Ooo what good would it do me to dream of your kiss? A kiss ain't a kiss until you feel it So come on, let me kiss your lips Light all aglow with the thrill I miss
Oh a bell ain't a bell until you ring it A song ain't a song until you sing it Baby, life ain't life until you live it And love ain't love until you give it, no no no
Ooo what good would it do me to wish you were mine? Mine ain't mine until I got it So come on, tell me youll be mine Right now, babe, stop wastin' time
Oh a bell ain't a bell until you ring it A song ain't a song until you sing it Baby, life ain't life until you live it And love ain't love until you give it, no no no ...
La Marche De Ménilmontant Composer(s): Maurice Chevalier - Maurice Vandair - Charles Borel-Clerc Performer(s): Maurice Chevalier and multiple other artists
Nous avons, quoi qu'on en pense L'amour du pays natal Et du Nord à la Provence On le chante et c'est normal C'est pourquoi à mon tour, j'ai la chance De chanter un petit coin pour moi sans égal
Les gars de Ménilmontant Sont toujours remontants Même en redescendant Les rues de Ménilmuche Ils ont le coeur ardent Le coeur et tout le restant Tant qu'ils s'en vont chantant Ménilmontant
Ils s'en vont la mine fière Droit devant eux dans la rue Et s'ils baissent les paupières C'est sur un mollet dodu D'un coup d'oeil ils vous font l'inventaire Des trésors bien cachés par une ingénue
Les gars de Ménilmontant Sont toujours remontants Même en redescendant Les rues de Ménilmuche Ils ont le coeur ardent Le coeur et tout le restant Tant qu'ils s'en vont chantant Ménilmontant
Il faut voir comme ils décochent Tous les traits de leur esprit Et cet esprit de Gavroche C'est le bon coeur à crédit Et mimi pinson dans leur caboche A laissé la chanson et la poésie
Les gars de Ménilmontant Sont toujours remontants Même en redescendant Les rues de Ménilmuche Ils ont le coeur ardent Le coeur et tout le restant Tant qu'ils s'en vont chantant Ménilmontant
V'la les gars de mon village Ni plus mauvais , ni meilleurs Que tous les gars à la page De paris ou bien d'ailleurs Ils seront les jeunots d'un autre âge Qui rendra au pays toute sa grandeur
Les gars de Ménilmontant Sont toujours remontants Même en redescendant Les rues de Ménilmuche Ils ont le coeur ardent Le coeur et tout le restant Tant qu'ils s'en vont chantant Ménilmontant
Les gars de Ménilmontant Sont toujours remontants Même en redescendant Les rues de Ménilmuche Ils ont le coeur ardent Le coeur et tout le restant Tant qu'ils s'en vont chantant Ménilmontant

L is for the way you look at me O is for the only one I see V is very, very extraordinary E is even more than anyone that you adore can

La Marche De Babette Composer(s): Louis Amade - Gilbert Bécaud Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud
Quand on est militaire C'est pas toujours bon temps Faut jouer à la guerre Et au tambour battant De France en Angleterre Et de Londres à Paris Quand on est militaire Faut savoir voyager la nuit
Quand on est militaire Et qu'on n'a pas le sou On devient millionnaire Pare une joie de rien du tout Les filles du dimanche Qui te disent bonjour Ont le cæur qui se branche Sur les roulades des tambours
Quand on est militaire Il faut savoir marcher Dans l'ombre sans lumière Comme un petit Poucet Soldat des soirs de gloire Et des pieds qui font mal Madame la Victoire Est une image d' Épinal
Salut les têtes blondes Soleil du point du jour Tous les soldats du monde Ont pour copain l'amour
Quand on est militaire Il faut aussi savoir Garder pour prisonnière La petite fleur de l'espoir

La Manille Et La Révolution Composer(s): Hubert Giraud - Boris Bergman Performer(s): France Gall
Je voudrais être une fille, une fille Qui sache tirer l'aiguille, l'aiguille Mais je joue à la Manille et à la révolution J'ai le sens de la famille Alors je joue du canon
Car chez nous de père en fille, en fille On boit de la tequila, on fusille Nous faisons brûler des villes Nous faisons sauter les ponts C'est le temps de la Manille et de la révolution
J'aime, j'ai peur Le fils du dictateur M'aime, mes surs Toutes les nuits en rêve, rêve, rêve
Je voudrais être une fille, une fille Et pour lui tirer l'aiguille, l'aiguille Il m'offrirait des jonquilles Tout en me prenant la main Je connaîtrais les brindilles sur l'herbe du champs voisin
J'aime, j'ai peur Le fils du dictateur M'aime, mes surs Toutes les nuits en rêve, rêve, rêve
Mais chez nous de père en fille, en fille On boit de la tequila, on fusille Moi j'aime mieux les jonquilles Qui sentent les fleurs de passion Mais je joue à la Manille et à la révolution

Are You Wasting My Time Composer(s): Charlie Louvin - Ira Louvin First release by: The Louvin Brothers - 1958 Covered by multiple other artists
Does the moon shine a little brighter When I hold you a little tighter Are you wasting my time
Does your love grow a little stronger When I kiss you a little longer Are you wasting my time Can I depend on your love to live on Can I rely on the vow that you made Does your love grow a little stronger When I kiss you a little longer Are you wasting my time
Does your heart seem a little colder When I cuddle up on your shoulder Are you wasting my time Do you melt away when you kiss me When I go away do you miss me Are you wasting my time Can I depend on your love to live on Can I rely on the vow that you made Does your love grow a little stronger When I kiss you a little longer Are you wasting my time

First Momma Poppa call a little boy Ned Raise him on the banks of the riverbed In a houseboat tied to a big tall tree Home for my Momma and my Poppa and me
Half-past three Poppa jumps to his feet Already Momma cooking Poppa somethin' to eat Half-past five Poppa's ready to go Jumps in his hero headed down the bayou
Got fishin' lines running cross the Louisiana river Gonna catch a big fish for us to eat Settin' traps in the swamp, catchin' everything they can Gonna make a livin', he's a Lousiana man Gonna make a livin', he's a Lousiana man
Muskrat hides hangin' by the dozen Even got a little baby muskrat cousin Got 'em out dryin' in the hot, hot sun Tomorrow Poppa's gonna turn 'em into money
I can hardly wait until the mornin' comes around That's the day my Poppa taked the furs to town Last time he told me that I could go Maybe even catch a cowboy show
Saw cowboys and Indians for the first time then Told my Poppa, "Got to come back again" Poppa said, "Son, we got lines to run We'll come back again; there's work to be done"
Got fishin' lines running cross the Louisiana river Gonna catch a big fish for us to eat Settin' traps in the swamp, catchin' everything they can Gonna make a livin', he's a Lousiana man Gonna make a livin', he's a Lousiana man

What has happened down here, is the winds have changed Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain It rained real hard, and it rained for a real long time Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
The river rose all day, the river rose all night Some people got lost in the flood, some people got away alright The river had busted through clear down to Placker Mine Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
Louisiana, Louisiana They're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away Oh Louisiana, Louisiana They're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away

El Bandido ((Adapted from: The Great El Tigre (by Stu Phillips) - 1966)) ((Dutch Version: El Bandido (by Will Tura) -1966)) Composer(s): Cy Coben - Franck Gérald Performer(s): Robert Cogoi - 1967
Ce vieil homme qui somnole sur un banc Je le croyais mort en prison depuis bien longtemps Pourtant malgré les années qui burinent sa peau C'est bien le même visage que j'ai vu dans de vieux journaux
Le fameux Bandido Pour les Mexicains Le grand El Bandido C'était quelqu'un de bien
On n'aurait jamais mis la main dessus Si comme tant d'autres l'amour ne l'avait perdu Car il faut une église pour se marier Et c'est après la messe que l'on est venu l'arrêter
Et sur El Bandido Le temps a passé Du grand El Bandido On n'a plus reparlé
Voilà qu'une vieille dame aux cheveux blancs S'approche de l'homme qui rêve sur son banc Avec tendresse, elle aide son compagnon Et sur eux se referme la porte de leur maison
Adios El Bandido Saura-t-on jamais Si l'amour, Bandido T'a perdu ou sauvé?
Louisiana Composer(s): Arthur Freed - Oliver G. Wallace Performer(s): Sterling Trio
Each time I hear a robin singing I picture fields of sugar cane Louisiana land of sunshine I long to be there once again
Down in an old moss covered cottage That's where I always long to be There is no palace could replace it For it is home sweet home to me
Louisiana, Memry of the olden ways My old sweetheart In those good old barefoot days Blue skies and Blue eyes That is all I seem to see Louisiana, I can hear your message to me
The Great El Tigre Composer(s): Cy Coben First release by: Stu Phillips - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages: 1966 - El Bandido (by Will Tura) 1967 - El Bandido (by Robert Cogoi)
Can that be the great El Tigre sitting there That gray haired old man on the bench in the village square Could he be that famous bandit of days gone by Can he be the fierce El Tigre or did the real El Tigre die
He'll be remembered forever more By the rich that he stole from and the poor he stole for
He once met a senorita on a raid Sweet little Juanita who smiled up at him unafraid And eyes hard as steel softened up at the sight that they saw And love found a heart no bullet had been able to find before
Though he was a bandido with a price on his head Te amo querida take me with you she said
Can that be the great El Tigre sitting there That old man asleep on the bench in the village square And as he dreams a sweet old senora appears And then as she gently wakes him she whispers into his ear
Querida mia the time it has flown Vamanos mi bandido it's time we went home
Louisiana Composer(s): M. Camison - Pierre Delanoë Performer(s): Joe Dassin
Comme tous les vagabonds J'ai fait tous les boulots De New-York à l'Orégon D'Auckland à Buffalo J'ai conduit un douze tonnes Douze tonnes à Santa-Fé Dans un port de Washington Déchargé du café
Tous les chemins ont du bon Qui reviennent au pays Qui me ramènent à la maison À l'amour de ma vie
Louisiana! Je reviens Louisiana! près de toi Louisiana! au bout de mon chemin Louisiana! tu es là
Tout ce que m'avait rapporté Six mois à Charleston Une souris me l'a croqué En un soir à Boston C'que j'ai gagné au Texas En volant des chevaux Je l'ai doublé à Las Vegas Et perdu à Reno
Tous les chemins ont du bon Qui reviennent au pays Qui me ramènent à la maison À l'amour de ma vie
