Lazy Susan Composer(s): Laura Nyro Performer(s): Laura Nyro
Lazy flower, my, you've grown so tall I have lost and loved him, you have seen it all
Lazy Susan, lazy through hasn't got a think to do Oh, but to sit there and light up the hillside, sun-fried, black-eyed Sue
Lazy Susan, lazy through, all the hills in love with you Courted and cradled by Heaven and hillside, sun-fried black-eyed Sue, black-eyed Sue, black-eyed
Black-eyed Sue, how happy you must be Once, I too had someone loving me
Johnny, Johnny, warm and true that's how I remember you this morning, just as I found you: up there on the hillside with sun-fried, black-eyed lazy Susan, Susan
Benjamin Composer(s): Bobbie Gentry; Philemon Van Cauwenbergh Originally performed by: Bobbie Gentry Covered by: Louis Neefs; Helmut Lotti
Benjamin zei 'ik rijd naar ergens anders' Om er nog wat zon te kloppen Hier kan je 't niet verder schoppen Dan een baan waar je moe van wordt
Samen reden wij naar Knokke-Zoete Om er naar de zee te kijken Maar er waren teveel rijken En men kwam er al zon tekort
Nooit had ik een beter vriend als Benjamin Hij houdt van reizen Reizen zit er bij hem in van jongsaf aan En op die wijze Kwam ik hem toevallig tegen Ergens zowat halverwege En het feit dat ik ook wel eens wat wou zien Maakte mij tot vriend van Benjamin Maakte mij tot vriend van Benjamin
Wij dan maar naar Katelijne-Waver Om tomaten te gaan plukken Maar men moet zich daarbij bukken En dat doet ons gewoonlijk pijn
Dus halfweg tussen Gent en Dendermonde Bleven we gezellig hangen Want we lieten ons daar vangen Aan de zon in een liter wijn
Oh, nooit had ik een beter vriend als Benjamin Hij houdt van reizen Reizen zit er bij hem in van jongsaf aan En op die wijze Kwam ik hem toevallig tegen Ergens zowat halverwege En het feit dat ik ook wel eens wat wou zien Maakte mij tot vriend van Benjamin Maakte mij tot vriend van Benjamin
Toen zijn wij maar naar Mechelen gereden Om er zaken te beginnen Maar we mochten er niet binnen Want men kent ons daar nog van toen
Dan maar weer terug naar Knokke-Zoete Om er van de zon te dromen Maar ze hadden ons zien komen En men had er geen hulp vandien
Oh, nooit had ik een beter vriend als Benjamin Hij houdt van reizen Reizen zit er bij hem in van jongsaf aan En op die wijze Kwam ik hem toevallig tegen Ergens zowat halverwege En het feit dat ik ook wel eens wat wou zien Dat maakte mij tot vriend van Benjamin Dat maakte mij tot vriend van Benjamin Maakte mij tot vriend van Benjamin
Lazy River Composer(s): Sidney Arodin - Hoagy Carmichael First release by: Hoagy Carmichael - 1930 Covered by multiple other artists
I like lazy weather, I like lazy days Can't be blamed for having lazy ways Some old lazy river sleeps beside my door Whisp'ring to the sunlit shore
Up a lazy river by the old mill run Lazy river in the noon day sun Linger awhile in the shade of a tree Throw away your troubles Dream with me Up a lazy river where the robins song Wakes the mornin Well roll along May be blue skies bove Everyones in love Up a lazy river How happy well be Up a lazy river with me Up a lazy river by the old mill run That lazy lazy river in the noon day sun You can linger for awhile in the shade of a tree Throw away your troubles baby Dream a dream of me Up a lazy river where the robins song Wakes a brand new mornin Where we can roll along There may be blue skies up above But as long as were in love Yeah well be up a lazy river How happy we could be Up a lazy river with me Oh that half way mark yeah Up a lazy river where that robins song Awakes a brand new mornin We can roll along There are blue skies up above And as long as were in love Well be up a lazy river Up a crazy lazy river Up a lazy river I aint goin your way get out of my way Up a lazy river with me
Beneden Alle Peil English & French Titles: Not Up To Scratch; J'aime Pas Ça Chez Toi Originally performed by: Boudewijn de Groot Covered by various other artists
Jouw armen liefste zijn niet om te slaan Je moet je handen niet tot vuisten maken Je ogen hoeven niet zo hard te staan Ontspan die harde lijnen om je kaken Je lichaam lief is zacht om aan te raken Maar jij denkt enkel aan je eigen heil Jij denkt alleen maar aan je eigen zaken En dat is toch beneden alle peil
Bekijk jezelf en lach, je zachte arm Is voor mijn hoofd gemaakt om op te rusten Je borst als veilig kussen houdt me warm Maar warmer zijn je lippen die me kusten Zo wekte je één voor één mijn andere lusten Maar jij dacht aan een ander onderwijl Waarmee je zonder moeite je geweten suste En dat is toch beneden alle peil
Mijn liefde was de inzet voor jouw spel Door mij liet jij je ijdelheid graag strelen Je wilde niet, dan wilde je weer wel Ik was verblind, ik liet maar met me spelen Je liet je zo maar door een ander stelen En mijn geluk ging zo maar voor de bijl Maar mijn verdriet kon jou niet zoveel schelen En dat was toch beneden alle peil
Prinsheerlijk lig je in een anders bed En maakt hem met je lichaam dwaas en dronken Wat in geen enkel opzicht jou belet Achter zijn rug om weer naar mij te lonken Bedriegen ligt nu eenmaal in jouw stijl Je hebt je in 't geheim aan mij geschonken Maar het is toch wel beneden alle peil

Beneath, Between & Behind Composer(s): Alex Lifeson; Neil Peart Performer(s): Rush; String Quartet
Ten score years ago, defeat the kingly foe A wondrous dream came into being Tame the trackless waste, no virgin land left chaste All shining eyes, but never seeing
[Chorus:] Beneath the noble bird Between the proudest words Behind the beauty, cracks appear Once with heads held high They sang out to the sky Why do their shadows bow in fear?
Watch the cities rise Another ship arrives Earth's melting pot and ever growing Fantastic dreams come true Inventing something new The greatest minds, and never knowing
[Chorus]
The guns replace the plow, facades are tarnished now The principles have been betrayed The dreams's gone stale, but still, let hope prevail History's debt won't be repaid
Luna Mezzo Mare ((English Version: Lazy Mary (by Lou Monte)) Composer(s): Pablo Citorello - Lou Monte Performer(s): Dean Martin and multiple other artists
C'è 'na luna mezz'u mare Mamma mia m'a maritare Figlia mia a cu te dare Mamma mia pensace tu Se te piglio lu pesciaiole Isse vai isse vene Sempe lu pesce mane tene Se ce 'ncappa la fantasia Te pesculia figghiuzza mia Là lariulà pesce fritt'e baccalà Uei cumpà no calamare c'eggi'accattà
C'è 'na luna mezz'u mare Mamma mia m'a maritare Figlia mia a cu te dare Mamma mia pensace tu Se te piglio lu pulezia Isse vai isse vene Semp'a scuppetta mane tene Se ce 'ncappa la fantasia Te scuppettea figghiuzza mia Là lariulà pesce fritt'e baccalà Uei cumpà 'na scuppetta c'eggi'accattà
Beneath A Desert Moon Composer(s): Sting Performer(s): Sting
From the mountains on the moon to the mighty delta From the deserts of the West to the shining sea Beneath the canopy of stars flows the serpent river Flowing through my father's land that he left to me
From the baker, to the priest, to the candle maker From the highest to the low in my father's land We make our offer to the sun 'fore the break of morning Or else everything we have will just turn to sand
I have a lot to ask I have a lot that I need to say I have so much do And all I need is another day
From the soldier, to the scribe, to the carpet maker All the different colored threads in a carpet loom A woven tapestry of life is our mighty nation This is the writing on the wall of my father's tomb
We have a lot to ask We have a lot that we need to say We have so much do And all we need is another day
Beneath the desert moon, I call you beneath the desert moon, I sing beneath the desert moon, so lonely I'm just a boy who would be king
With just the moon to guide us We sometimes lose our way If there's a light inside us We'll follow it to the brightness of the day
Every single blade of grass, every yellow flower Every ripple on the sea of the blue, blue Nile Every leaf on every tree, every single creature From the smallest little bird, to the crocodile
We have a lot to ask We have a lot that we need to say We have so much do And all we need is another day
Beneath the desert moon, I call you beneath the desert moon, we sing beneath the desert moon, we're waiting Before the coming of the king
Beneath the desert moon that's sinking We see the Eastern sky's on fire This is where darkness leaves And shining waters fall And let the shadows run And we'll say, "welcome to the sun"

Lazy Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Al Jolson and multiple other artists
Every time I see a puppy On a summers day A puppy dog at play My heart is filled with envy That's why I'm in such a hurry To pass the time away Like the pup, I'm all fed up, and Though it's wrong to be, I long to be
Lazy I wanna be lazy I'm longing to lay in the sun With no work to be done Under that awning They call the sky Stretching and yawning And let the world go drifting by I wanna peep Through the deep Tangled wildwood Counting sheep 'Til I sleep Like a child would With a great big valise full Of books to read where it's peaceful While I'm killing time, being lazy
