Lydia, The Tattooed Lady Composer(s): Harold Arlen - E.Y. Harburg Performer(s): Groucho Marx and multiple other artists
Oh Lydia, Oh Lydia Now have you met Lydia Lydia the tattooed lady She has muscles men adore-so And a torso even more-so Oh, Lydia, Oh Lydia Now have you met Lydia Lydia the queen of tattoo On her back is the battle of Waterloo Beside it the wreck of the Hesperus too and proudly above waves the red white and blue You can learn a lot from Lydia
There's Grover Walen unveilin' the Trylon Over on the West Coast we have Treasure Island There's Captain Spaulding exploring the Amazon And Lady Godiva--but with her pajamas on She can give you a view of the world in tattoo If you step up and tell her where Mon Paree, Kankakee, even Perth by the sea Or of Washington crossing the Delaware
Oh Lydia, Oh Lydia, now have you met Lydia Lydia the queen of them all She has a view of Niagara which nobody has And Basin Street known as the birthplace of jazz And on a clear day you can see Alcatraz! You can learn a lot from Lydia! Lydia the queen of tattoo!
Lydia, oh Lydia, have you met Lydia, the queen of them all! She once knocked an admiral off of his feet The ships on her hips made his heart skip a beat And now the old man is in command of the fleet For he went and married Lydia!
More Than A Feeling Composer(s): Tom Scholz Originally performed by: Boston
I looked out this morning and the sun was gone Turned on some music to start my day I lost myself in a familiar song I closed my eyes and I slipped away
It's more than a feeling when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling) I begin dreaming (more than a feeling) 'till I see Marianne walk away I see my Marianne walkin' away
So many people have come and gone Their faces fade as the years go by Yet I still recall as I wander on as clear as the sun in the summer sky
It's more than a feeling when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling) I begin dreaming (more than a feeling) 'till I see Marianne walk away I see my Marianne walkin' away
When I'm tired and thinking cold I hide in my music, forget the day and dream of a girl I used to know I closed my eyes and she slipped away She slipped away She slipped away
It's more than a feeling when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling) I begin dreaming (more than a feeling) 'till I see Marianne walk away I see my Marianne walkin' away
Lycka Composer(s): Björn Ulvaeus - Benny Andersson Performer(s): Anni-Frid Lyngstad
Vaije kväll när det är tyst och barnen sent omsider sover Kommer du till mig och det drar sig emot midnatt och nu så har vi tid att få rå om varann en stund Att bara trycka din hand den mycket kära Det kallar jag för lycka att känna att jag har dig nära Det är vad lycka är för mig
Ligga så och lyssna till de ljud som bara hörs om natten med din hand i min Ja, det menar jag är lycka man har nå'n som man får tycka riktigt mycket om, som vi Att riktigt känna en vän det är en gåva att känna pulsar bränna att först få älska se'n få sova Det är vad lycka är för mig

More Pretty Girls Than One (Traditional) Performer(s): Lyle Lovett and various other artists
Mama talked to me last night She gave to me some good advice She said Son you ought to quit This old ramblin' all around And marry you a sweet loving wife

Luz Y Sombra Composer(s): Ruben Fuentes - R. Cárdenas Performer(s): Javier Solís
Yo sé que te han dicho que no valgo nada, que no valgo nada que vivo tan solo para los caprichos de tu corazón Si a nadie le pido y a nadie le ruego, a quién le preocupa a quién le preocupa si vivo si muero por esta pasión
Quién sepa de amores que calle y comprenda que me dejen solo sufriendo en silencio mis penas de amores Si yo soy dichoso teniéndote cerca qué le importa a nadie si eres luz y sombra de mi corazón si eres luz y sombra de mi corazón
Quién sepa de amores que calle y comprenda que me dejen solo sufriendo en silencio mis penas de amores Si yo soy dichoso teniéndote cerca qué le importa a nadie si eres luz y sombra de mi corazón si eres luz y sombra de mi corazón

Luz Do Sol Composer(s): Caetano Veloso Performer(s): Caetano Veloso and multiple other artists
Luz do sol, que a folha traga e traduz Em verde novo, em folha, em graça, em vida, em força, em luz Céu azul, que vem até onde os pés Tocam a terra e a terra inspira e exala os seus azuis Reza, reza o rio, córrego pro rio, rio pro mar Reza a correnteza, roça, beira, doura a areia Marcha o homem sobre o chão, leva no coração uma ferida acesa Dono do sim e do não diante da visão da infinita beleza Finda por ferir com a mão essa delicadeza A coisa mais querida, a glória da vida
More Like The Movies Composer(s): Shel Silverstein Performer(s): Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show; Dennis Locorriere
I guess the dance is over now So you just curtsey and I'll bow And ask the band to play us Auld Lang Syne
Then I'll just take what's left of me Right back to where it used to be And you'll go sail your magic carpet, far across the sky
I wish I could have made it More like the movies for you Some pretty Technicolor way it's never been I'm sorry when I kissed you You only heard me whisper You never got to hear those violins Did you girl? No you never got to hear those violins, no
The castles that you built so high Were just too steep for me to climb And I guess these dirty streets of mine Were just too rough for you
I wish I could've helped you see Just one of your sweet childhood dreams But though I tried I could not make not one of them come true
And I wish I could have made it More like the movies for you Some pretty Technicolor way it's never been I'm sorry when I kissed you You only heard me whisper You never got to hear those violins Did you girl? No you never got to hear those violins
Oh I'm sorry when I kissed you You only heard me whisper You never got to hear those violins No you never got to hear those violins
Luz De Todos Los Ástros Composer(s): Fito Paez Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Luz de sol luz de todos los astros corazón otra vez desvelado y siempre todo que pasa y siempre todo que pasa

Luz de sol
Solo escucharme y dejarme salir todos sabemos que es asi solo tu amor me podra rescatar por un momento en esta cama que vuela barco sin velas luz quitapenas trato de estar aqui
More Fool Me Composer(s): Tony Banks; Phil Collins; Peter Gabriel; Steve Hackett; Mike Rutherford Performer(s): Genesis
Here am I Who while away the mornings Since you've gone Too long have I lay alone Not knowing which way to turn
And there you are Quite sure that you were right Knowing full well That I'd be the first one To go down
And you'd be the one who was laughing Except when things were'nt going you're way Then the lady would say that she'd had enough Wandering around on her own
The day you left I think you knew you'd not be back Well at least it would seem that way Because you never said goodbye But when it comes round to you and me I'm sure it will work out alright
And you'd be the one who was laughing Giving me something I don't need You know, I'd always hold you and keep you warm Oh! more fool me
But when it comes Round to you and me I ask myself Do I really believe In your love
Luz De Luna Composer(s): Alvaro Carrillo Performer(s): Javier Solís
Yo quiero luz de luna para mi noche triste para pensar divina la ilusión que me trajiste para sentirte mía, mía tú como ninguna pues desde que te fuiste no he tenido luz de luna
Yo siento tus amarras como garfios como garras que me ahogan en la playa de la farra y del dolor y siento tus cadenas arrastrar en la noche callada que sea plenilunada, azul como ninguna pues desde que te fuiste no he tenido luz de luna
Si ya no vuelves nunca provincianita mía a tu selva querida que está triste y está fría que al menos tu recuerdo ponga luz sobre mi bruma pues desde que te fuiste no he tenido luz de luna
Yo siento tus amarras como garfios como garras que me ahogan en la playa de la farra y del dolor y siento tus cadenas arrastrar en la noche callada que sea plenilunada, azul como ninguna pues desde que te fuiste no he tenido luz de luna
More And More Composer(s): Jerome Kern Performer(s): Tommy Dorsey

La, la, la, la, la... Te souviens-tu des nuits d'Espagne Et de cette chanson gitane Qui nous faisait rêver quand tout le ciel brillait Que mille étoiles scintillaient mettant un peu de rêve bleu Dans nos yeux Je n'oublierais jamais que tu m'as serré Chéri dans tes bras Ce soir-là
Te souviens-tu des nuits d'Espagne Et de cette chanson gitane Qui racontait l'histoirede cette rose noire Toujours plus belle à l'infini mais qui fleurissait dans la nuit Si jolie Et sous la lune bleue comme on était heureux Seuls tous les deux
La, la, la, la, la...
