Let's Go Steady For The Summer Composer(s): Dick Glasser Performer(s): The Three G's
Let's go steady for the Summer Let's go steady for the Summer Let me take you by the hand We'll go strolling in the moonlight in a lovers wonderland
Let's go steady for the Summer School is over we are free No more homework in the evening Nothing left but you and me We'll share our love together in these days so few Our love may last forever if you love me as I love you
Let's go steady for the Summer School is over we are free No more homework in the evening Nothing left but you and me
Broken Head Composer(s): Brian Eno; Dieter Moebius; Hans-Joachim Roedelius Performer(s): Brian Eno; Roger Miller
I was just a broken head I stole the world that others punctured Now I stumble through the garbage Slide and tumble, slide and stumble
Beak and claw, remorse, remindless Slide and tumble, slide and stumble Back and forth and back to nothing Keep them tidy, keep them humble Chop and change to cut the corner Sharp as razors, shiny razors Stranded on a world that's dying Never moving, hardly trying
I was just a broken head I stole the world that others plundered Now I stumble through the garbage Slide and tumble, slide and stumble
Let's Settle Down Composer(s): Charles Strouse - Lee Adams
Can't shake that dream of you and me in some little town If you'd shape up We'd settle down Leave the mess and the stress Of big city livin' Trade that grabbing and shoving For loving and giving I'm tired of your talking I want it now That house and yard with only birds bringing songs around Don't be afraid to settle down That green stuff's grass and that smell everywhere Know what that is? Fresh air The years are going by so fast Hey, it's time we found some peace of mind Our peace of ground, let's settle down
Let's Go Steady Again Composer(s): Howard Greenfield - Neil Sedaka Performer(s): Neil Sedaka; Alan Lorber
Dum dum dum rat oh too, let's go steady again Dum dum dum rat oh too, let's go steady again
Let's go steady again like we did before Let's go steady again and be lovers once more Wear the ring around your neck like you used to do Don't you know it's wrong to break up C'mon baby let's kiss and make up
Let's go steady again, like in the past Let's show all of our friends that our love can last I don't care of who was wrong Come back here where you belong C'mon baby let's go steady again
Monday...we said goodbye Tuesday..all we did was cry Wednesday.I almost lost my mind Thursday...I was feelin blue Friday..was the same way too Never had a day, sad as Saturday Even Sunday was no fun day
Let's go steady again like we used to do Say you're ready and then we can start anew Seven days we didn't speak it's been a long and lonely week C'mon baby, let's go steady again
Dum dum dum rat oh too, let's go steady again Dum dum dum rat oh too, let's go steady again FADE: Dum dum dum rat oh too, let's go steady again

Let's Go Get Stoned Composer(s): Jo Armstead - Nickolas Ashford - Valerie Simpson First recording by: Robert McCoy - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
Let's go get stoned Let's go get stoned When your baby won't let you in Got a few pennies, a bottle of gin Just call your buddy on the telephone Let's go get stoned

It ain't no harm You're taking just a taste But don't blow your cool and start messing up the place It ain't no harm you're faking just a nip But make sure you don't fall down bust your lip Let's go get stoned Let's go get stoned
Broken Dreams, Hard Road Composer(s): John Lodge Performer(s): John Lodge
I looked everywhere Thought that I would find you Thro' the night Shadows dancing in the moonlight Broken dreams Hard Road
Wish I could write of the love I have known In my lifetime Wish I could find just one word One small line When I'm down The world has gone and changed Its face The world has gone and changed Its place While we were dreaming For the Human Race I know I've Been down this road many times Many ways In my lifetime And Somehow the path that you've Walked In your life Has led to me
Your love has gone and changed My world Your love has changed the world I See While I was waiting You came to me
I looked everywhere Knew that I would find you Thro' the night Shadows dancing in the moonlight Broken dreams Hard road
Hard, hard road Hard road Hard, hard road (Repeat)

Aaaah! Ich kenne Herzen, die sind aus Stein Aaaah! Jedoch ich könnte nie herzlos sein Es ist so herrlich sich zu verlieben Es ist ein Wunder, wenn es geschieht Es ist so herrlich sich zu verlieben Und ist ein Wunder, wenn es geschieht Aaaah! In Deinen Augen, da war ein Glanz Aaaah! Das fühlt' ich schon beim ersten Tanz Es ist so herrlich sich zu verlieben Wer kann denn wissen, was morgen ist!? Es ist so herrlich sich zu verlieben Weil es ein Zaubertrank immer ist Und der Himmel ging auf! Und der Himmel ging auf für mich Und der Himmel ging auf! Und der Himmel ging auf für mich Liebe, Liebe, Liebelei Was kann schöner sein für uns zwei!? Denn der Himmel ging auf! Denn der Himmel ging auf für mich Aaaah! Ein kleines Spielchen, ein netter Blick Aaaah! Ja, so begann schon oft das Glück Und der Himmel ging auf! Und der Himmel ging auf für mich Und der Himmel ging auf! Und der Himmel ging auf für mich Liebe, Liebe, Liebelei Was kann schöner sein für uns zwei!? Denn der Himmel ging auf! Denn der Himmel ging auf für mich Aaaah! Und ist auch morgen mein Traum vorbei Aaaah! Es war ja nur eine Liebelei Und der Himmel ging auf! Und der Himmel ging auf für mich Und der Himmel ging auf! Und der Himmel ging auf für mich Liebe, Liebe, Liebelei Was kann schöner sein für uns zwei!? Denn der Himmel ging auf! Denn der Himmel ging auf für mich Und der Himmel ging auf!

Denn der Himmel ging auf für mich Und der Himmel ging auf! Und der Himmel ging auf für mich Und der Himmel ging auf! Und der Himmel ging auf für mich Liebe, Liebe, Liebelei Was kann schöner sein für uns zwei!? Denn der Himmel ging auf! Denn der Himmel ging auf für mich
One more illusion shattered One more broken dream Oh that the morning brings the sun Gone are the days when I could bounce right back again See how the tears roll down Like sweet summer rain Where does it leave me now I find myself so free again
Even the smallest traces Of your sweet perfume Open the flood gates and I'm helpless Now as the moonlight shadows Cast across my room Only the whispered words Are heard in the night Only a silent prayer 'I love you still I always will'
Out of the dark I stumbled Into the light Only my fear has tumbled I think I always knew That I would run to you
Somewhere there's children playing Somewhere far away Running with open arms to greet me Over the hill the sunset Dies and fades away I turn and I close the door With one last goodbye I will return no more I'll take my heart and let it fly
Let's Pretend There's A Moon Composer(s): Russ Columbo - Grace Hamilton - Jack Stern Performer(s): Russ Columbo and multiple other artists
Here you are, here am I No moon in view, no star on high But it's a lovely night to spoon Let's pretend that there's a moon!
Nights like this were made for love Regardless of the moon above The time and place are opportune Let's pretend that there's a moon!
Poets like to tell about the spell of moonlight bliss And they weave it into every rhyme We don't need no moon above to tell us when to kiss Why should we be wastin' time?
Here are we, here is love Who cares if there don't moon above? Let's make believe that this is the month of June Oh baby, let's pretend that there's a moon!
Yes! Ah-ha! Hah!
Who is you growlin' at woman? Oh you know, now now now baby, yes I know! Scrap the dark, but you've gotta pretend there's a moon! Yes yes yes! Yes yes!

Hein hein hein hein - puisque tu l'aimes dis-le lui Hein hein hein hein - puisque tu l'aimes dis-le lui
Tu peux tout dire dans un sourire Tu peux tout faire dans un regard Tu dois lui tendre des pièges tendres Et sans attendre qu'il soit trop tard
Hein hein hein hein - puisque tu l'aimes dis-le lui Hein hein hein hein - puisque tu l'aimes dis-le lui
Dis-toi qu'un homme n'est rien qu'un homme Que c'est un faible pas dangereux Mais qu'une femme c'est une femme Et qu'une femme sait ce qu'elle veut
Frappe, frappe, son cur Frappe, frappe, l'amour est là Frappe, frappe son cur Frappe, frappe et tu l'auras L'amour ne vient qu'une fois Aujourd'hui puisqu'il est à toi Frappe, frappe son cur Frappe, frappe et tu y entreras

Broken Blossoms Composer(s): Ballard MacDonald; A. Robert King
Often a page of a book turned o'er Brings back a vision of days of yore Only a rose leaf that lingers yet Touches a spot that we can't forget
Once in a while there's a fragrance rare Bringing a lingering vision fair Only a thought of a bygone love You have been longing and thinking of
Broken blossoms, maybe a violet blue Pansies purple, tenderest thoughts renew Lillies of white or rose red Bring back a mem'ry long since dead Broken blossoms in fancy they bloom again
Let's Go Fly A Kite Composer(s): Richard Sherman - Robert Sherman First release by: David Tomlinson & Dick Van Dyke - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
With a tuppence for paper and string You can have your own set of wings With your feet on the ground you're a bird in flight With your fist holding tight to the string of your kite
Oh, oh, oh Let's go fly a kite up to the highest height Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring Up through the atmosphere, up where the air is clear Oh let's go fly a kite
When you send it flying up there All at once you're lighter than air You can dance with the breeze over houses and trees With your fist holding tight to the string of your kite
Oh, oh, oh Let's go fly a kite up to the highest height Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring Up through the atmosphere, up where the air is clear Oh let's go fly a kite
Broken Arrow Composer(s): Robbie Robertson Originally performed by: Robbie Robertson Covered by: Rod Stewart
Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain There he goes moving across the water There he goes turning my whole world around
Do you feel what I feel Can we make it so that's part of the deal I gotta hold you in these arms of steel Lay your heart on the line this time
I wanna breathe when you breathe When you whisper like that hot summer breeze Count the beads of sweat that cover me Didn't you show me a sign this time
Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain There he goes moving across the water There he goes turning my whole world around, around
Do you feel what I feel Do you feel what I feel Ah can you see what I see Can you cut behind the mystery I will meet you by the witness tree Leave the whole world behind
I want to come when you call I'll get to you if I have to crawl They can't hold me with these iron walls We got mountains to climb, to climb
Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain There he goes moving across the water There he goes turning my whole world around turning my whole world around turning my whole world around turning my whole world around
