Oh j'ai trouvé le livre magique
Y a tout dedans, c'est logique
Génial, Carabosse n'a qu'à bien se tenir
Restons logiques, la Belle doit nous attendre au château
Allez, en route
Oh oui en route, je ne veux pas rater le bal

On n'a plus la trouille de la Carabosse
Avec une citrouille on fait un carrosse
Il y a cinq notes de musique
Qu'un seul mot pour ça
Voilà la formule magique
Abbacadabra

Abbacadabra, abbacadabra
On ferme les yeux, on ouvre les bras
On avance de quatre pas, on compte jusqu'à trois
Et le pays merveilleux, on y est déjà
Abbacadabra, abbacadabra

Trois lunes dans le ciel, c'est presque irréel
Et personne ne sait comment
On tourne les pages du pays des images
Entre l'espace et le temps
Mais ce n'est pas tout
Les murs ne tiennent pas debout
Le soleil tourne autour de nous
En musique
J'ai la clef du monde enchanté
Un lapin blanc me l'a donnée
Abbacadabra, abbacadabra

On n'a plus la trouille de la Carabosse
Avec une citrouille on fait un carrosse
Il y a cinq notes de musique
Qu'un seul mot pour ça
Et le pays merveilleux
On y est déja
Abbacadabra, abbacadabra

Abbacadabra, abbacadabra
On ferme les yeux, on ouvre les bras
On avance de quatre pas, on compte jusqu'à trois
Et le pays merveilleux, on y est déjà
Abbacadabra, abbacadabra

C'est vraiment génial
J'vois les cartes postales
Que j'enverrai à ma petite sœur
Mais ce n'est pas tout
On est collés jusqu'à six heures
Si on rentre pas chez nous à l'heure
Dramatique
Vous serez déjà revenus à la fin de la retenue
Abbacadabra, venez avec moi

Abbacadabra, abbacadabra
On ferme les yeux, on ouvre les bras
On avance de quatre pas, on compte jusqu'à trois
Et le pays merveilleux, on y est déjà
Abbacadabra, abbacadabra

Abbacadabra, abbacadabra
On ferme les yeux, on ouvre les bras
On avance de quatre pas, on compte jusqu'à trois
Et le pays merveilleux, on y est déjà 
Et le pays merveilleux, on y est déjà
Et le pays merveilleux, on y est déjà

Morning Girls
Performer(s): Maddy Prior and The Answers



Soft focus on the lady who gets up late
In languid and sleepy state
Lashings of eau de toilette
Perfumes of faint violet
Slinky silky Crêpe de Chine
Nothing ever petty or mean
Tracing fingers on her pillow
Where the lawn runs down to the willow
And the river flows gently on
Singing a skylark summer song

Working girls are early to rise
Cold tile floor and sleep in their eyes
The working day begins
When the alarm bell rings
Fumble for something clean to wear
Scraping a brush through unwashed hair
Pull on a dress
An old pair of tights
Patch up make up
From last night
A fast breakfast of cornflakes and toast
Catch the news
Running for the bus in the rain
Waiting for the eight o'clock train

Morning Girls
Morning Girls
Morning Girls
Morning Girls

Morning sickness throwing up
How much must you give up
Will it ruin your career
Must you finish school this year
Is it wanted
Were you caught
Time for joy
Or time to abort
Take the strain of getting fat
Take the pain are you ready for that

Woken by a baby needing a drink
Scheming by the cooker and kitchen sink
Visions of the supermarket
Brought home in an empty basket
Fantasies of a hoover day drone
Leisurely cleaning a spotless home
Dreams of fame and fortune
While tidying up the front room

Girl From The North Country
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Bob Dylan;
and various other artists



Well, if you're travelin' in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm
When the rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see if she's wearing a coat so warm
To keep her from the howlin' winds

Please see for me if her hair hangs long
If it rolls and flows all down her breast
Please see for me if her hair hangs long 
That's the way I remember her best

I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all
Many times I've often prayed
In the darkness of my night
In the brightness of my day 

So if you're travelin' in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

Kippen jong en fit
lekker aan het spit
Kippen met wat tijm
gesauteerd in de wijn

Kippen uit de supermarkt
Kippen uit de muur
Kippen vol met lamsgehakt
Kippen in zoetzuur

Kippen geel of wit
Kippen hebben geen gebit
Kippen heel pikant
lichtjes aangebrand

Kippen uit één stuk en ook
Kippenfricassee
Kippen in een saus met look
Kippen met hachee

Doe nu met ons mee (hm wat een lekker kippetje)
Koop een kip of twee

Kippen zijn voedzaam, licht en verteerbaar, niet te versmaden
Gestoofd in wat ajuintjes, met goudgele frietjes en verse salade

Luister nu maar niet
Naar het nieuws, want dat is funest, wat men zegt over vogelpest
Da's bullshit
De bevolking, men maakt haar bang
en dat net voor de stembusgang
Ja dit is het werk
Van Stefaan De Clerck

Kip voor jou en mij
Kipfilet met prei
Kip met ananas
Dat is eerste klas

Kippen op de scharrelwei
Kippen voor de fun
Kippen in de batterij
Kippen on the run

Kippenworst met brood
Kippen met de billen bloot
Kippenborst bien cuit
Met bouquet garni

Kippen uit het kippenhok
Kip met appelsien
Kippen op een witte stok
Kippen die ook zien

Doe nu met ons mee (Kippetjes! Lekkere kippetjes!)
Koop een kip of twee

Jawel hoor
Kippen zijn voedzaam, mak'lijk bereidbaar, niet te versmaden
Gestoofd met wat truffels, een uurtje in de oven op tweehonderd graden

Luister nu maar niet
Naar het nieuws, want dat is funest; wat men zegt over vogelpest
Da's bullshit
De bevolking, men maakt haar bang
en dat net voor de stembusgang
Wie heeft dat gedaan?
't Is Jean-Luc Dehaen(e)

Morning Girl
Composer(s): Tupper Saussy
Performer(s): The Neon Philharmonic;
Shaun Cassidy; The Lettermen



Mornin' girl, how'd ya sleep last night?
You're sev'ral ages older now
Your eyes have started showin' how
The little girl's growin' now

Mornin' girl, was that you last night?
Crying on the radio
Beggin' for a way to go
To go back where love wasn't jumbled so

Oh, no, things are different now than they were before
You know love is more than kisses
A whole lot more

Mornin' girl, put your dreams away
And read your box of Cheerios
And powder-puff that pretty nose
And go out and find your man where the wild wind blows
Mornin' girl

Girl From La Poma
Spanish Title: La Pomeña
Composer(s): Cuchi Leguizamón; Manuel J. Castilla
Performer(s): Pedro Aznar



Eulogia Tapia in La Poma
gives her tenderness to the air
If she passes over the sand
she went stepping on the moon

The wheat that she cuts
matures by her waist
Looking at alfalfa flowers
her black eyes become blue

The willow of your house
is crying for you
because they take you away, Eulogia
for Carnival

Her face gets covered with flour
Her shadow gets covered with sand
Chanting and disenchanting
her sorrows get jumbled up

She comes on a white horse
the caja drum trembles in her hands
and when she sinks into the night
she is a dark dahlia

They say men are such fools
And a woman must forgive them
I know I was wrong
Forgive me
Won't you give me one more chance

Take a broken heart

And take my arms
Take my lips
Take my tears away and love me
Come back to my arms
Believe me, if you leave me I will die

Take a broken heart
Make a broken heart smile again
I'm in love with you
Say you love me too, sweetheart
Come back to my arms
Believe me, if you leave me I will die

Make a broken heart smile again
I'm in love with you
Say you love me too, sweetheart

What they've been saying all these years is true
Now, there's no more morning dew!

Girl Crazy
Composer(s): Erroll Brown

I don't care 'bout the colour of her hair
Or the colour of the skin that she's wrapped in
All I want is a personality
that's right for me
that's all I seek
I don't care if she's rich or poor
the door to my heart is open wide
If you're lonely for someone to love then why don't you just come inside
'Cause I'm girl crazy
crazy
I'm girl crazy
I'm girl crazy
For a girl crazy
I'm girl crazy
crazy for a girl who's boy crazy
For a boy like me - oh yeah
I don't care that the clothes that she wears
Isn't amazing or debonair
All I want is love and affection
For whatever direction
I don't care
I don't mind if she can't dance
I'll teach her to dance in ev'ry way
And if by chance she's new to romance

I'll teach her to make love night and day
'Cause I'm girl crazy
crazy
I'm girl crazy
I'm girl crazy . . .
I'll be your lover
I'll be your friend
I'll stay with you darling
till the very end 'cause 
I'm girl crazy

I'm girl crazy . . .

crazy
I'm girl crazy
I'm girl crazy . . .
I'm girl crazy

I'm girl crazy
I'm girl crazy . . .

Take 54 
Composer(s): Harry Nilsson
Performer(s): Harry Nilsson



It was take 54
When she walked through the door
With the red light on it
I knew in a minute 
If I wanted to get in it
Then I'd have to get on it

I sang my balls off for you baby
I worked my fingers to the bone
I closed my eyes to get the high note
but when I woke up I was alone
Baby, baby come back 
I need you to make a good track
Baby, baby come back
Baby, baby come back

Well I saw her today
Back in studio A
We were just gettin' started
I sang for a minute
She couldn't get in it
I felt broken hearted

I sang my balls off for you baby
I almost broke the microphone
I even sang the song that you wrote
But when I woke up I was alone
Oh!  Baby, baby, come back
I need you to make a good track
Baby, baby come back
Baby, baby come back

High note
But when I woke up I was alone

Baby, baby come back
I need you to make a good track
Baby, baby come back
B-b-b-baby come back 

Morning Comes Too Early
Composer(s): Dennis Morgan; Kye Fleming
Performer(s): Jim Ed Brown



The night falls around us and you're in my arms again
For hours we'll just lie here and love
Wishing the night would never end

Morning comes too early
Nighttime ends too soon
Morning comes too early when I'm lying here with you

Your hair is soft on my pillow
Your lips are warm on mine
The whole world must be sleeping but I don't even want to close my eyes

Morning comes too early
Nighttime ends too soon
Morning comes too early when I'm lying here with you
Morning comes too early when I'm lying here with you

Sugar, sugar

She sits alone waiting for suggestions
He's so nervous avoiding all the questions
His lips are dry, her heart is gently pounding
Don't you just know exactly what they're thinking

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
come on sugar let me know.
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on honey tell me so
Tell me so baby

He's acting shy looking for an answer
Come on honey let's spend the night together
Now hold on a minute before we go much further
Give me a dime so I can phone my mother
They catch a cab to his high rise apartment
At last he can tell her exactly what his heart meant

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
come on honey tell me so
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on sugar let me know

His heart's beating like a drum
'cos at last he's got this girl home
Relax baby now we are alone

They wake at dawn 'cos all the birds are singing
Two total strangers but that ain't what they're thinking
Outside it's cold, misty and it's raining
They got each other neither one's complaining
He say's I sorry but I'm out of milk and coffee
Never mind sugar we can watch the early movie

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
come on sugar let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on honey tell me so

If you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on sugar let me know
If you really, really, really, really need me
just let me know
Just reach out and touch me
If you really want me
just reach out and touch me
come on sugar let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on sugar let me know
If you, if you, if you really need me
just come on and tell me so 

Morning Blues
Composer(s): Lightnin' Hopkins; Stan Lewis
Performer(s): Lightnin' Hopkins



You know I went down to my baby's house 
fell down on my knees
crying please, please help poor me, help old me
She said, "Lightnin' I wished I was rich and you were poor"
The meals that you've been getting 
I will see that you never get them no more
She's talking to me and I'm down on bended knee
Somebody help me, help me, please
You know I went to my house, wasn't nobody there but me
That was trouble, that was worry 
Lord, Lord, like the whole world would see
Somebody please help me, I've been wondering about my fate
Her little smiling, baby, I can't see
Well I'm about to make it up in my mind to let her go ahead on
Baby, you go have a good time, while I walk my floor and moan
You may not miss me now, but you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Well I just can't do nothing but cry 
I just got to walk my floor and moan

Girl, look what you've done to me
Me, and my whole world
Girl, you brought the sun to me
With your smile, you did it girl

I'm telling you girl, something unknown to me
Makes you what you are
and what you are is all I could ask for me
and its good to feel that way girl

Thank you girl, for making the morning brighter
girl for making the night time nicer
girl for making a better world for me

I'm telling you girl, something unknown to me
Makes you what you are
and what you are is all I could ask for me
and its good to feel that way girl

Thank you girl, for making the morning brighter
girl for making the night time nicer
girl for making a better world for me

Thank you girl, for making the winter warmer
Girl, for making the music softer
Girl, for making a better world for me

Morning
Composer(s): Bill Graham
Performer(s): Jim Ed Brown & the Browns



Here in this room, this narrow room 
Where life began when we were young last night
I feel your back pressed close to me 
And hear your steady breathing as you sleep
There's the first soft glow of dawn 
The silver grey light played along the wall
I touch your hand and feel your ring 
And know that this is all we'll ever have

Suddenly I look into your sleepy eyes
You breathe my name and it just seems to dangle there
Then I feel your fingers running through my mind
Jumbling up my thoughts to leave them tangled there

I know so well that this is all there is 
And when we leave this room it's gone
My mind despairs as we walk down 
The crooked little steps to the front door
A ray of sun that ricochets from off the rooftop 
Lights our way
I touch your hand and feel your ring 
And know that this is all we'll ever have

Suddenly I look into your sleepy eyes
You breathe my name and it just seems to dangle there
Then I feel your fingers running through my mind
Jumbling up my thoughts to leave them tangled there

Suddenly I look into your sleepy eyes
You breathe my name and it just seems to dangle there
Then I feel your fingers running through my mind
Jumbling up my thoughts to leave them tangled there

Suddenly I look into your sleepy eyes
You breathe my name and it just seems to dangle there
Then I feel your fingers running through my mind
Jumbling up my thoughts to leave them tangled there

Gira Y Gira
Performer(s): León Gieco



Gira y gira la vida 
siempre lucha el amor 
dignidad de los pueblos 
aunque gobierne lo peor 
 
Gira y gira la historia 
se repite el dolor 
no es tu procer ni gloria 
no le creo al perdon 

Sol que me estas salvando 
iluminan mi esperanza tus ojos claros 
Sol me vas protegiendo 
en este tiempo igual a los que ya fueron 

Gira y giran los dias 
tanta gente han matado 
la mentira es la misma 
para justificarlo 
 
Gira y giran las horas 
si me marcho no estoy 
si no estoy ya no canto 
sin cantar no soy yo

Morning
Composer(s): Jeremy Clyde; Chad Stuart
Performer(s): Chad & Jeremy



The sun was bright, the winds were clean in the morning
My days are night and you're a dream in the morning
Since you said goodbye, I cry in the morning, but it's evening
All day long now you are gone
Since you're leaving me

Light is gone and birds fly home in the morning
My days are dark and I'm alone in the morning
Since you said goodbye, I cry in the morning, but it's evening
All day long now you are gone
Since you're leaving me

Still I wake and reach out in the night
I dare not look for fear I might
Find you're no longer there
Find the morning glare far too bright
Do you miss me in the morning like I miss you
Do you, do you, do you, do you

Till I'm with you once again in the morning
I will try to sleep again in the morning
People wonder why I cry in the morning
All day long now you are gone
Since you're leaving me
