No debo pensar en ti no debo llamarte más y olvidarme de tu amor y pensar que no existió aunque tenga que llorar

Oh, the newspapers came and made Jody a national hero Walter and Eric said they'd put him on a network T.V. show The White House said, "Put the thing in the Blue Room" The Vatican said, "No, it belongs to Rome" And Jody said, "It's mine and you can have it for seventeen million"

No Chemise, Please! Composer(s): Jodi D'Amour; Arnold Goland; Gerry Granahan Performer(s): Gerry Granahan
I had a date for the hop last night Up to her door everything seemed right But to my surprise as I opened the door I couldn't tell the front from the back "'Cause she was wearin' a sack dress Whew what a mess! The last time I saw her, man what a shape!! And now she's got a shape like an egg!
No chemise, please, not for me, please Well you can take back the sack, leave it hangin' on the rack And bring a sweater back!!
When we arrived at the hop We started in doin' the stroll I told her I wanted to stop But she wanted rock and roll I told her forty times and it really was a crime I was talkin' to the back of her head!!
No chemise, please, not for me, please Well you can take back the sack, leave it hangin' on the rack And bring a sweater back!!---yeah
Sure would like to find the creator Who covered up my baby in this tent He musta been a woman-hater I keep wonderin' where the wiggle went So won't you change the fad, have pity on me please Put 'er back in her dungarees
No chemise, please, not for me, please Well you can take back the sack, leave it hangin' on the rack And bring a sweater back!!
No chemise, please, not for me, please Well you can take back the sack, leave it hangin' on the rack Bring a sweater back!!
Do Not Say Good-Bye Composer(s): Leonard Marx Performer(s): The Marx Brothers
You ask me why I feel so blue You ask me why I cry You ask me why I look so sad You ask me why I sigh
You made me love you more and more And now that we must part The sunshine leaves, the sorrow comes Into my breaking heart
Don't say good-bye, Dear, please don't go away I feel so lonesome, I want you to stay, my Dearie When I am lonely, that's the time I sigh I want you only, so do not say good-bye
I knew that sometime you would go And leave me all alone I hoped in vain that you might stay And never, never roam
And though you promise to return I know that you'll not find The broken heart, the shattered life That you once left behind
Don't say good-bye, Dear, please don't go away I feel so lonesome, I want you to stay, my Dearie When I am lonely, that's the time I sigh I want you only, so do not say good-bye

My little boy came into the kitchen this evenin'
While I was fixin' supper
And he handed me a piece of paper he'd been writin' on
And after wipin' my hands on my apron
I read it - and this is what it said
For mowin' the yard - five dollars
And for makin' my own bed this week - one dollar
And for goin' to the store - fifty cents
An' playin' with little brother, while you went shoppin' - twenty-five cents
Takin' out the trash - one dollar
Gettin' a good report card - five dollars
And for rakin' the yard - two dollars
Total owed - fourteen seventy-five
Well, I looked at 'im standin' there expectantly
And a thousand mem'ries flashed through my mind
So I picked up the pen, turnin' the paper over
This is what I wrote
For nine months I carried you
Growin' inside me - No Charge
For the nights I've sat up with you
Doctored you, prayed for you - No Charge
For the time and the tears
And the cost through the years, there's No Charge
When you add it all up
The full cost of my love is No Charge
For the nights filled with dread
And the worries ahead - No Charge
For advice and the knowledge
And the cost of your college - No Charge
For the toys, food and clothes and for wipin' your nose
There's No Charge, son
When you add it all up
The full cost of my love, is - No Charge
Well, when he finished readin'
He had great big old tears in his eyes
And he looked up at me and he said
"Mama, I sure do love you"
Then he took the pen
And in great big letters
He wrote: "Paid In Full"
When you add it all up
The cost of real love is - No Charge
Can't stand it no more The people dying Crying for help for so many years But nobody hears Better end soon my friend It better end soon my friend
Can't take it no more The people hating Hurting their brothers They don't understand They can't understand Better end soon my friend It better end soon
Hey, everybody Won't you just look around Can't anybody see? Just what's going down Can't you take the time? Just to feel Just to feel what is real If you do Then you'll see that we got a raw deal They're killing everybody I wish it weren't true They say we got to make war Or the economy will fall But if we don't stop We won't be around no more They're ruining this world For you and me The big heads of state Won't let us be free They made the rules once But it didn't work out Now we must try again Before they kill us off No more dying! No more killing No more dying No more fighting We don't want to die No, we don't want to die Please let's change it all Please let's make it all Good for the present And better for the future Let's just love one another Let's show peace for each other We can make it happen Let's just make it happen We can change this world Please let's change this world Please let's make it happen for our children For our women Change the world Please make it happen Come on Come on Please Come on It's up to me It's up to you So let's do it now Yeah Do it now
Can't stand it no more The people cheating Burning each other They know it ain't right How can it be right Better end soon my friend It better end soon my friend
No Chain At All Composer(s): No Chain At All Performer(s): Roy Orbison
Most women want to chain you To promises and such They take a little freedom Each time they let you touch
She didn't try to chain me That's why I turned around She let me taste my freedom And now I'm homeward bound
You know I'm headed on back to her I'm hearing her call The strongest chain in the world Is no chain at all, at all That's why I'm headed on back to her
She won't make me crawl The strongest chain in the world Is no chain at all
At least one pretty woman In every sleepy town Would bargain with the lovin' And try to tie me down
I took what I was offered Like most men probably would But teasing in my memory Was something twice as good
You know I'm headed on back to her I'm hearing her call The strongest chain in the world Is no chain at all, at all That's why I'm headed on back to her She won't make me crawl The strongest chain in the world Is no chain at all, at all That's why I'm headed on back to her Headed on back to her Loving my baby
Darcy Farrow Composer(s): Steve Gillette; Tom Campbell First release by: Ian & Sylvia - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists
Where the Walker runs down to the Carson Valley plane There lived a maiden, Darcy Farrow was her name The daughter of old Dundee and a fair one was she The sweetest flower that bloomed o'er the plain
Her voice was sweet as the sugar candy Her touch was soft as a bed of goosedown Her eyes shone bright like the pretty lights That shine in the night out of Yerrington Town
She was courted by young Vandermere And quite handsome was he, as I hear He bought her silverrings and other lacy things And she promised to wed before the snows fell that year
But her pony did stumble and she did fall Her dying touched the hearts of us one and all Young Vandy in his pain put a bullet through his brain And they buried them together as the snow began to fall
They sing of Darcy Farrow where the Truckee runs through They sing of her beauty in Virginia City too At dusky sundown to her name they drink a round And to young Vandy whose love was true
Les enfants sont nés pour la musique
Les pianos magiques
Les flûtes enchantées
Et on leur donne des travaux pratiques
Des trains électriques
Au lieu de les aimer
Voilà ce que Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Dirait
Les enfants sont faits pour écouter
Ce que disent les arbres
Ce que pense le temps
Et on leur donne des fleurs en plastique
Un monde mécanique
Dont le cur est absent
Voilà ce que Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Dirait
Donnez-leur quelques chevaux sauvages
cachés comme des rires au-dessous des nuages
et vous verrez leurs yeux vous montrer lavenir
et vous trouverez Dieu au coin de leur sourire
Les enfants ne se dérangent pas
Ils sont la vérité que lon n écoute pas
Ils feraient sils conduisaient le bal
Des villes de cristal, des maisons de soleil
Laissons-les faire, ils sont des musicien
Ils sont des magicien, des faiseurs darcs-en-ciel
Voilà ce que Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Dirait
Vous avez coupé tous les chemins
Que dautres comme moi
Ont ouvert de leurs mains
Vos rêves ne sont plus que dans quelques chansons
Qui se brisent deux fois sur des murs de béton
Tournez-vous du côté des prophètes
Du côté des poètes
Du côté des enfants
Les enfants sont nés pour la musique
Les pianos magiques
Les jets deau du Square
Laissez-les vivre du côté de lamour
Et vous aurez un jour
Des milliers de Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Dirait
It Amazes Me Composer(s): Cy Coleman; Carolyn Leigh First release by: Tony Bennett - 1958 Covered by multiple other artists
My height, just average My weight, just average My IQ is like you'd estimate, just average But evidently she does not agree Consequently if I seem at sea...
It amazes me It simply amazes me What she sees in me dazzles me Dazes me That I've learned to clip my wings And soften my ways These are ordinary things unworthy of praize Yet she praizes my just knowing I try for When so many would, if they could, die for her I'm the one who's worthy, wize And nothing much fazes me But to see me in her eyes.....
No Arms Can Ever Hold You Performer(s): Chris Norman
Baby, frozen tears It was hard through the years I never give up never one of my dreams And deep inside is my love still alive And God only knows that I can't let you go Whem I'm in love, it will be for ever I gave you my heart forever and ever
No arms can ever hold you more than I do No man can never love you, oh, babe, it's true No arms can ever hold you more than I do You came to me from heaven Girl, it's true And if I ever lose your love And if I ever lose your heart Oh baby, I'm dying for your love
Baby, now I'm alone And I try to be strong But my baby I cry silent tears without a cry And I can't hold on to the feeling that's gone And there's nothing to lose 'cause I'm playing the fool When I'm in love it will be for better Gave you my heart forever and ever
And if I ever lose your love If I ever lose your heart Baby, I'm dying for your love And if I ever lose your smile If I ever lose your heart Everbody needs someone to love And I say
Cigarettes, Cigars
Composer(s): Mack Gordon - Harry Revel
Performer(s): Ruth Etting; Florence Desmond
I was one of those hicks
That came here from the sticks
Trying to find the kind of fame
The name of Broadway stands for
I was one of those fools
Who dreamed of riches and jewels
Now I awake, find my mistake
I'll get a break, Broadway's a fake!
I work in a speak that's dim and dingy
Where standers are pretenders, cheap and stingy
All I smell is rotten scotch and ginger
Cigarettes, cigars!
Now I've learned what smoking coke and snow means
Among the guys who've never learned what "no" means
You ask me do I know what making dough means
Cigarettes, cigars!
To heaven I just send up
My lonely plea
Is this where I must end up
Oh, good Lord, answer me!
Every evening as the night life dies out
I walk home to sleep and weep my eyes out
Can't you hear a broken heart that cries out
Cigarettes, cigars! Cigarettes, cigars!
Say, have you ever seen Broadway when its glamour is gone
When the nightclubs are closing and the whole world is dozing and sleeping until the dawn?
Why, all its glory and splendor and marvelous sights
They all fade out together as they turn out the lights
With street beggars mumbling, milk wagons rumbling, dream castles tumbling in the air
Oh, it's lonesome and weary, friendless and dreary, a pitiful sight of despair!
Every evening as the night life dies out
I walk home to sleep and weep my eyes out
Can't you hear a broken heart that cries out
Cigarettes, cigars!
Cigarettes! Cigars!
Cigarettes! Cigars!
No Anchovies, Please Composer(s): Justman; Wolf Performer(s): J. Geils Band
This is the story of a young couple in Portland, Maine
While waiting for her husband Don to return home from work she reaches for a can of anchovies As she spreads the tiny fish across a piece of lettuce she notices a small note at the bottom of the can Written on it is a telephone number Curious, she dials, and is told "Don't move, lady, we'll be right over" Placing the phone back on the hook she turns to see three smartly dressed men standing in her kitchen doorway Before she realizes what is happening to her she is rolled tightly in long sheets of cellophane transported to an international airport, and placed on a waiting jet-liner All this being too much for her to comprehend, she passes out
Upon awakening, she finds herself in a strange, foreign speaking nation ("Dalas nekcihc dna tihs nekcihc neewteb ecnereffid eht wonk ot suineg a ekat t'nseod ti") Alone, fearing her escape impossible she seeks comfort in the arms of a confidential agent With the trace of her kiss still warm upon his lips he betrays her to the hands of three scientists who are engaged in diabolical avant-garde experiments previously performed only on insects and other small, meaningless creatures Using her as their subject, they are delighted with the results For the first time, a human being is transformed into a ("shhh... it's secret")
Meanwhile, back in Portland, Maine...
Her husband Don, now chain-smoking 40 packs of cigarettes a day sits at a local bar and has a few beers with the regulars Bored, everyone's attention turns to the television set that just hangs from the wall ("Welcome to Bowling for Dollars") Suddenly, crazy Al says "S-say, Don, there sure is something familiar about that bowling ball" To which a terrified Don replies "Oh my God! That bowling ball! It's my wife!"
And the lesson we learn from this story is next time you place your order don't forget to say "No anchovies please"
It All Depends On You Composer(s): Lew Brown; Buddy DeSylva; Ray Henderson First performance by: Al Jolson (Stage Production) - 1925 Covered by multiple other artists
Lovers depend on moonlight For a love affair Babies depend on mothers For their tender care Flowers depend on sunshine And the morning dew Each thing depends on something And I depend on you
I can be happy, I can be sad I can be good or I can be bad It all depends on you I can be lonely out in a crowd I can be humble, I can be proud It all depends on you I can save money, or spend it Go right on living, or end it You're to blame, Honey For what I do I know that I can be beggar I can be King I can be almost any old thing It all depends on you
Isn't it sweet to know, Dear You can help me on Wouldn't it hurt to know, Dear All my hopes were gone Wouldn't it make you proud, Dear If I made a name But if I failed to win, dear Would you want all the blame
I can be happy, I can be sad I can be good or I can be bad It all depends on you I can be lonely out in a crowd I can be humble, I can be proud It all depends on you I can save money, or spend it Go right on living, or end it You're to blame, honey For what I do I know that I can be beggar I can be King I can be almost any old thing It all depends on you Yes, it all depends on you
Son dos letras solamente Las que estan entre tu y yo Son dos letras solamente Y que juntas dicen no
No, no, no Que bonita es la palabra No, no, no Si me dices no te vayas No, no, no Pero en cambio yo me muero Si me dices no te quiero No, no, no, no, no
Nunca digas no te quiero Porque matas nuestro amor Dime siempre no te olvido Porque asi me gusta el no
