My Coloring Book
French Title: Portrait En Couleurs Composer(s): Fred Ebb; John Kander Performer(s): Kitty Kallen and various other artists
For those who fancy coloring books As certain people do Here's a new one for you A most unusual coloring book The kind you never see Crayons ready, very well Begin to color me These are the eyes that watched him As he walked away Color them grey This is the heart that thought He would always be true Color it blue These are the arms that held him And touched him then lost him somehow Color them empty now These are the beads I wore Until she came between Color them green This is the room I sleep in And walk in and weep in Hiding that nobody sees Color it lonely, please This is the man The one I depended upon Color him go...
Te Quiero, Te Quiero Composer(s): Augusto Algueró - Nino Bravo - Rafael DeLeon Performer(s): Nino Bravo and multiple other artists
De por qué te estoy queriendo No me pidas la razón Pues yo mismo no me entiendo Con mi propio corazón Mi canción desesperada Al llegar la madrugada Te dará la explicación Te quiero vida mía Te quiero noche y día No he querido nunca así Te quiero con ternura Con rabia, con locura Sólo vivo para ti Yo te seré siempre fiel Pues para mí quiero en flor Ese clavel de tu piel y de tu amor Mi voz igual que un niño Te pide con cariño Ven a mí, abrázame Porque te quiero Te quiero, te quiero Te quiero, te quiero, te quiero Y hasta el fin te querré
My Clone Sleeps Alone Composer(s): Roger Capps; Pat Benatar Performer(s): Pat Benatar
My Clone Sleeps Alone You know and I know My Clone Sleeps Alone She's out on her own - forever She's programmed to work hard, she's never profane She won't go insane, not ever
No V.D., no cancer, on T.V.'s the answer No father, no mother, she's just like the other And you know and I know, My Clone Sleeps Alone
Your clone loves my clone, but yours cannot see That's no way to be, in heaven No sorrow, no heartache, just clone harmony So obviously, it's heaven
No naughty clone ladies allowed in the eighties No bed names, no sex games, just clone names and clone games And you know and I know My Clone Sleeps Alone
Before we existed the cloning began The cloning of man and woman When we're gone they'll live on, cloned endlessly It's mandatory in heaven
But they won't remember or ever be tender No loving, no caring, no program for pairing No V.D., no cancer, on T.V.'s the answer No father, no mother, she's just like the other
No naughty clone ladies allowed in the eighties And you know and I know My Clone Sleeps Alone My Clone Sleeps Alone! My Clone Sleeps Alone!

My City Was Gone Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde Performer(s): The Pretenders
I went back to Ohio But my city was gone There was no train station There was no downtown South Howard had disappeared All my favorite places My city had been pulled down Reduced to parking spaces A, O, Oh way to go Ohio
Well I went back to Ohio But my family was gone I stood on the back porch There was nobody home I was stunned and amazed My childhood memories Slowly swirled past Like the wind through the trees A, O, Oh way to go Ohio
I went back to Ohio But my pretty countryside Had been paved down the middle By a Government that had no pride The farms of Ohio Had been replaced by shopping malls And Muzak filled the air From Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls Said, A, O, Oh way to go Ohio

Good day sunshine Good day sunshine Good day sunshine
I need to laugh, and when the sun is out I've got something I can laugh about I feel good, in a special way I'm in love and it's a sunny day

We take a walk, the sun is shining down Burns my feet as they touch the ground

"El trust de los Tenorios" Te quiero, Morena, te quiero como se quiere la gloria como se quiere el dinero como se quiere a una madre te quiero

My Cherie Amour Composer(s): Henry Cosby; Sylvia Moy; Stevie Wonder Originally performed by: Stevie Wonder Covered by various other artists
La la la la la la La la la la la la
My Cherie Amour, lovely as a summer's day My Cherie Amour, distant as the Milky Way My Cherie Amour, pretty little one that I adore You're the only girl my heart beats for How I wish that you were mine
In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street I've been near you, but you never notice me My Cherie Amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore That behind that little smile I wore How I wish that you were mine
Maybe someday you'll see my face among the crowd Maybe someday I'll share your little distant cloud Oh, Cherie Amour, pretty little one that I adore You're the only girl my heart beats for How I wish that you were mine
Good Clean Fun Composer(s): Michael Nesmith Performer(s): The Monkees; Last Train Home
There's a smile on the wind as it touches my face And starts to erase all the gloom And the sun with a kiss, begins to dismiss the Memory of my life without you Well it seems like yesterday that my path took me away Although I know it's been at least a year But now my path heads home And your patient time alone Has brought me even closer to you, dear
And this plane gets closer Every minute I look down to a watch that keeps looking back at me And it says to me, "Be patient son you've waited this long" How can I be strong?
And this the plane gets closer Every minute I look down to watch that keeps looking back at me And it says to me, "Be patient son you've waited this long" How can I be strong?
Well the plane is finally down And the engines stopped their sound And I look in the crowd and there you stand And the gap that once was time Is forever closed behind I told you I'd come back and here I am...
Te Quiero Dijiste ((English Version: Magic Is The Moonlight (Cliff Richard) - 1965)) Composer(s): María Grever First release by: Cliff Richard and The Shadows Covered by multiple other artists
Te quiero, dijiste tomando mis manos entre tus manitas de blanco marfil Y sentí en mi pecho un fuerte latido después un suspiro y luego el chasquido de un beso febril
Muñequita linda de cabellos de oro de dientes de perla, labios de rubí Dime si me quieres cómo yo te quiero si de mí te acuerdas como yo de ti
Y a veces escucho un eco divino que envuelto en la brisa parece decir Sí te quiero mucho, mucho, mucho, mucho tanto como entonces siempre hasta morir
My Canary Has Circles Under His Eyes
Composer(s): Ted Kohler; Eddie Pola; Jack Golden
Performer(s): Debroy Somers & His Orch. - 1930
and multiple other artists
Mister Press Man, here's some news
You can print it if you choose
Just to show that times have changed a lot
Though it may sound strange to you
It is absolutely true
You can believe it.......or not
Since making whoopee became all the rage
It's even got into the old birdcage
My canary has circles under his eyes
He used to whistle 'The Prisoner's Song'
Now he does snake-hips the whole day long
My canary has circles under his eyes
His only pals are the Meadow Lark
And just a tiny sparrow
But I am afraid when he's in the park
He leaves the straight and narrow
I raised this bird in a manner so strict
Now I feel certain I'm being tricked
My canary has circles under his eyes
His only pals are the Meadow Lark
And just a tiny sparrow
But I am afraid when he's in the park
He leaves the straight and narrow
I raised this bird in a manner so strict
Now I feel certain I'm being tricked
My canary has circles under his eyes
My canary has circles under his eyes
Good Christian Soldier Composer(s): Bobby Bare; Billy Joe Shaver Performer(s): Kris Kristofferson; Bobby Bare
Not so long ago in Oklahoma The son of an Okie preacher knelt to pray He said Lord I wanna be a Christian soldier just like you And fight to build a new and better day
Now many years and miles from Oklahoma That same young Okie boy still kneels to pray But he don't pray to be no Christian soldier anymore He just prays to make it through another day
Cause it's hard to be a Christian soldier when you tote a gun And it hurts to have to watch a grown man cry But we're playin' cards writin' home havin' lots of fun Telling jokes and learning how to die
Now the things I've come to know seem so confusin' It's gettin' hard to tell what's wrong from right I can't seperate the winners from the losers anymore And I'm thinking of just giving up the fight
Cause it's hard to be a Christian soldier when you tote a gun And it hurts to have to watch a grown man cry But we're playin' cards writin' home ain't we hadn't fun Turning on and learning how to die
My Cairo Maid Composer(s): Bud De Sylva; G. Foster; Chris Schonberg
Dreaming, I am always dreaming When the stars are gleaming, of my Cairo maid I believe she wants me For her mem'ry haunts me I sit and pine till skies are graying, saying
Smiling, I can see her smiling in her way beguiling, as the shadows fall For the moon above her Tells her that I love her And will return o'er desert, swinging, singing
I know a maid in Cairo In dreamy Cairo, beside the Nile I know she's yearning, her heart is burning for my returning so, for a while, I'll travel upon my camel o'er scorching gravel unto my shrine Which means, that I'll go to dreamy Cairo and make this Cairo maiden mine
Good Captain Clack Composer(s): Gary Brooker; Keith Reid Performer(s): Procol Harum
Still scowling black good Captain Clack must eat his humble pie His bed is made the colours fade his eyes once wet are dry
The naked muse who sits and chews tobacco off a tree removes his shoes gives way to booze and searches endlessly
See the naked jumberlack sip his aphrodisiac Cotton-picking farmers three Though I lost my weather vane and of sense I have one grain I'm content sipping lemon tea
"Ah, pero no: la vida es una cosa tan llena de salud maravillosa es un regalo de placer tan fiero es un juego tan útil, tan demente que ya he vuelto a creer absurdamente porque dijiste nada más: te quiero" -Carilda Oliver Labra-
Te quiero así, de pronto así de tonto... pero te quiero Te quiero así de claro así de raro... pero te quiero Te quiero así de burdo así de absurdo... pero te quiero Pero esta noche tristeza obliga más que a la amante quiero a la amiga Más que tu pan, quiero tu miga
