I'm just a Broadway Baby Walking off my tired feet Pounding Forty Second Street To be in a show Broadway Baby Learning how to sing and dance Waiting for that one big chance To be in a show
Gee, I'd like to be on some marquee All twinkling lights A spark to pierce the dark From Batt'ry Park to Washington Heights Some day maybe All my dreams will be repaid
I can get to strut my stuff Working for a nice man Like a Ziegfeld or a Weissman In a big-time Broadway show! Heck, I'd even play the maid To be in a show
Say, Mister producer Some girls get the breaks Just give me my cue, sir I've got what it takes Say, Mister Producer I'm talkin' to you, sir I don't need a lot Only what I got Plus a tube of greasepaint and a follow spot!
I'm a Broadway Baby Slaving at the five and ten Dreaming of the great day When I'll be in a show Broadway Baby Making rounds all afternoon Eating at a greasy spoon To save on my dough
At my tiny flat there's just my cat A bed and a chair Still I'll stick it till I'm on a bill all over Times Square Some day maybe If I stick it long enough
I can get to strut my stuff Work-ing for a nice man Like a Ziegfeld or a Weissman In a big-time Broadway show! Heck, I'd even play the maid To be in a show
Say, Mister producer Some girls get the breaks Just give me my cue, sir I've got what it takes Say, Mister Producer I'm talkin' to you, sir I don't need a lot Only what I got Plus a tube of greasepaint and a follow spot!
Barbara ((Adapted from: Babacar (by France Gall) - 1987)) Composer(s): Michel Berger - Jo De Clercq Performer(s): Willy Sommers - 1993
Je staat op de eerste rij Een vriendinnetje erbij Altijd giechelen met twee
Je lacht uitdagend lang naar mij Werkt je make-up nog wat bij 'k Schat je vijftien ongeveer
Meer dan leuk om te zien Morgen huil je misschien En dan ben ik je kwijt, voor altijd
Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je) Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je) Ik heb je Barbara genoemd Je gaf me bloemen en een zoen 'k Zou die zo graag overdoen, oooh oooh Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je) Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je)
Er zijn er zoveel zoals jij Jonge meisjes vrank en vrij Maar vanbinnen zo fragiel
Blote schouders, slanke nek Je maakt de mannen stapelgek Spelen met je sex-appeal
Maar de dag zal nog komen Je ontwaakt uit je dromen Want een meisje wordt zo gauw een vrouw
Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je) Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je) Ik heb je Barbara genoemd Je gaf me bloemen en een zoen 'k Zou die zo graag overdoen, oooh oooh Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je) Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je)
Wie ben je, wie ben je Wie ben je, wie ben je
Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je) Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je) Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je) Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je) Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je)

Brivido Felino Composer(s): Paolo Audino; Stefano Cenci Performer(s): Mina & Adriano Celentano
Ormai avevo pensato ho voglia solo io di te invece sento il profumo che hai messo su stasera per me
Provo a fare finta che ti resisto un po' ma in fondo poi perché qui è già calda l'atmosfera sto con te stasera ci sto
Con un brivido felino sento che mi vuoi la luce del camino spande su di noi hai la voce che ti frema stringi le mie mani mi chiami, mi chiami piano lo so ora che anche tu mi vuoi
Adesso mentre mi baci capisco che mi piaci perché (quel mistero dentro te) è affascinante davvero sei quella che speravo per me
Provo a fare finta che ti resisto ma il gioco mi delude e già calda l'atmosfera da te vorrei stasera di più
Con un brivido felino sento che mi vuoi il fuoco del camino brucia insieme a noi hai la voce che ti frema stringi le mie mani mi ami, mi ami
Con un brivido felino ora che ti dai ti sento travolgente vero come sei ho l'impulso di fermarti ma tanto non potrei se ti muovi, ti muovi, come tu sai e ti sento che mi vuoi

Brivido Caldo Composer(s): Piero Cassano; G. Golzi Performer(s): Matia Bazar
Attraversata da un brivido caldo per sogni folli più grandi di me vivendo mille emozioni in contrasto riparto da te
Tra mille note di vita raccolte e gli orizzonti che non vedo più confusamente tra immagini stanche riaffiori anche tu
Sai ti penso tanto lo sai ti sento tanto... e di più ti ho aspettato tanto sai ti penso tanto
Viaggia la mente nei ricordi miei viaggia avvolta nella nostalgia di te resta la dolce tenerezza che lascia il tempo che si ferma in te
Occhi per orizzonti nei tramonti che vorrei mani che stringono su cuori stanchi e fragili tempo che non invecchia una fotografia da allora resta il vuoto dentro
In quelle nebbie disperse dal vento tra labirinti di cristalli blu appare il viso di chi se ne è andato e non torna più
Sai ti penso tanto lo sai ti sento tanto...
Viaggia la mente nei ricordi miei viaggia, viaggia avvolta nella nostalgia di te come la luce di un diamante pazzo che resta per sempre, per sempre dentro agli occhi negli orizzonti e nei tramonti che vorrei tempo che non invecchia una fotografia da sempre storie... di gente uguale a noi...

Ja, det brevet, den som skrev det, hon har vilat i min famn Det var Britta (jag nämner inte något efternamn) Det kan kvitta, skriver Britta, om jag vänta får ett år när jag vet att ditt hjärta för mig slår
Du som sovit i halm och som vaknat i kvalm Och som sjunger i soluppgången krigarn's morgonpsalm där i ledet du går, där du spejande står tänk på Britta som snart du kyssa får
Hör soldaterna, kamraterna med knatter och med knall hör, på fält och i skogar tonar truppens glada trall Över krigarna på stigarna och lottorna i byn stiger flyget som örnar emot skyn
Du som sovit i halm och som vaknat i kvalm Och som sjunger i soluppgången krigarn's morgonpsalm där i ledet du går, där du spejande står tänk på Britta som snart du kyssa får
Kan du hitta, skriver Britta, en som har dig mera kär? Kan du drömma hur ömma mina känslor för dig är? Som den bölja du ser skölja stranden av vårt fria land smyger Britta sig mjukt uti din famn
Du som sovit i halm och som vaknat i kvalm Och som sjunger i soluppgången krigarn's morgonpsalm där i ledet du går, där du spejande står tänk på Britta som snart du kyssa får

There may be trouble ahead But while there's music and moonlight And love and romance Let's face the music and dance Before the fiddlers have fled Before they ask us to pay the bill And while we still have that chance Let's face the music and dance Soon, we'll be without the moon Humming a different tune, and then There may be teardrops to shed So while there's music and moonlight And love and romance Let's face the music and dance
Some talk of Alexander, and some of Hercules Of Hector and Lysander, and such great names as these But of all the worlds great heroes Theres none that can compare With a tow, row row row, row row row To the British Grenadiers
None of these ancient heroes neer saw a cannon ball Nor knew the force of powder to slay their foes with all But our brave boys do know it and banish all their fears Sing tow, row row row, row row row For the British Grenadiers
When eer we are commanded to storm the palisades Our leaders march with fuses, and we with hand grenades We throw them from the glacis about the enemies ears Sing tow, row row row, row row row For the British Grenadiers
And when the siege is over, we to the town repair The townsmen cry Hurrah, boys, here comes a Grenadier Here come the Grenadiers, my boys, who know no doubts or fears Sing tow, row row row, row row row For the British Grenadiers
So let us fill a bumper, and drink a health to those Who carry caps and pouches, and wear the louped clothes May they and their commanders live happy all their years Sing tow, row row row, row row row For the British Grenadiers

Let's Have Another Cup O' Coffee Composer(s): Irving Berlin First performance/First recording by: J. Harold Murray & Katherine Carrington - 1932/Fred Waring & His Pennsylvanians - 1932 and multiple other artists
Why worry when skies are gray Why should we complain Let's laugh at the cloudy day Let's sing in the rain Songwriters say the storm quickly passes That's their philosophy They see the world through rose-colored glasses Why shouldn't we?
Just around the corner There's a rainbow in the sky So let's have another cup o' coffee And let's have another piece o' pie!
Trouble's just a bubble And the clouds will soon roll by So let's have another cup o' coffee And let's have another piece o' pie
Let a smile be your umbrella For it's just an April show'r Even John D. Rockefeller Is looking for the silver lining
Mister Herbert Hoover Says that now's the time to buy So let's have another cup o' coffee And let's have another piece o' pie!
[Alternate Lines:] Things that really matter Are the things that gold can't buy

Birds do it, bees do it Even educated fleas do it Let's do it, let's fall in love

In shallow shoals, English soles do it Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it Let's do it, let's fall in love
