My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama Composer(s): Frank Zappa Originally performed by: Frank Zappa Covered by various other artists
You know, your mama and your daddy Saying I'm no good to you They call me dirty from the alley Till I don't know what to do I get so tired of sneakin' around Just to get to your back door I crawled past the garbage and Your mama jumped out, screamin' "Don't come back no more" I can't take it My guitar wants to kill your mama My guitar wants to kill your mama My guitar wants to burn your dad I get real mean when it makes me mad
Later I tried to call you Your mama told me you weren't there She told me don't bother to call again Unless I cut off all my hair I get so tired of sneakin' around Just to get to your back door I crawled past the garbage and Your mama jumped out, screamin' "Don't come back no more"

Tel Qu'il Est Composer(s): Maurice Alexander - Maurice Vander Performer(s): Fréhel and multiple other artists
J'avais rêvé d'avoir un homme un vrai de vrai, bien balancé mais je suis chipée pour la pomme d'un avorton, complet'ment j'té Ce n'est pas un Apollon mon Jules il n'est pas taillé comme un Hercule Malgré qu'il ait bien des défauts C'est lui que j'ai dans la peau
Tel qu'il est, il me plaît Il me fait de l'effet Et je l'aime C'est un vrai gringalet aussi laid qu'un basset mais je l'aime Il est bancal du coté cérébral mais ça m'est bien égal qu'il ait l'air anormal
C'est complet, il est muet ses quinquets sont en biais C'est un fait que tel qu'il est il me plaît
Il est carré mais ses épaules par du carton, sont rembourrées Quand il est tout nu ça fait drôle On n'en voit plus que la moitié Il n'a pas un seul poil sur la tête mais il en a plein sur les gambettes Et celui qu'il a dans la main c'est pas du poil c'est du crin
Tel qu'il est, il me plaît Il me fait de l'effet Et je l'aime C'est un vrai gringalet aussi laid qu'un basset mais je l'aime Il est bancal du coté cérébral mais ça m'est bien égal qu'il ait l'air anormal
C'est complet, il est muet ses quinquets sont en biais C'est un fait que tel qu'il est il me plaît
Le travail pour lui c'est la chose la plus sacrée, il y touche pas Pour tenir le coup il se dose de quintonine, à tous les r'pas Ce qui n'est pas marrant c'est qu'il ronfle on dirait un pneu qui se dégonfle Et quand il faut se bagarrer il est encore dégonflé
Tel qu'il est, il me plaît Il me fait de l'effet Et je l'aime C'est un vrai gringalet aussi laid qu'un basset mais je l'aime Il est bancal du coté cérébral mais ça m'est bien égal qu'il ait l'air anormal
C'est complet, il est muet ses quinquets sont en biais C'est un fait que tel qu'il est il me plaît
I love her, I love her, and always will, my grandmother dear I can see her still Her old fashioned bonnet and gingham gown when she rode with dear old grandpa into town Though she was eighty-two, he loved her fond and true
Who was it, who was it, on Christmas night that filled up your stocking with such delight? 'twas grandma, 'twas grandma I know because, she was always a good old Santa Claus The cakes and candies, too, she'd give them all to you
My grandfather's girl was a grand old girl and she lived in the house on the hill My granddaddy first met his first little girl down by the old red mill And together they wandered down the lane to the church where she changed her name A rare precious pearl was my grandfather's girl yes, she was a grand old girl!
Goodbye My Love, Goodbye French Title: Je T'Aime À En Sourire Composer(s): Mario Panas; Klaus Munro; Jack Lloyd Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri
Hör den Wind der sein Lied dir singt Er weiß, dass ich heute von dir geh' Weine nicht wenn der Abschied kommt Denn Tränen tun so weh
Goodbye my love goodbye Goodbye auf Wiedersehn Die Zeit im Sommersonnenschein Mit dir allein, war schön Goodbye my love goodbye Das Glück wird nie vergehn Ich bleib dir treu Bis wir uns einmal wiedersehn
Überall werd ich einsam sein Denn dich vergessen kann ich nie Nur der Wind er begleitet mich Mit seiner Melodie
Goodbye my love goodbye Goodbye auf Wiedersehn Die Zeit im Sommersonnenschein Mit dir allein, war schön Goodbye my love goodbye Das Glück wird nie vergehn Ich bleib dir treu Bis wir uns einmal wiedersehn
Goodbye my love goodbye Goodbye auf Wiedersehn Die Zeit im Sommersonnenschein Mit dir allein, war schön Goodbye my love goodbye Das Glück wird nie vergehn Ich bleib dir treu Bis wir uns einmal wiedersehn
Ik was klein en ons tuintje was de wereld een zandbak met een schutting eromheen Wat erachter was, dat mocht ik zelf verzinnen een grote tuin vol bloemen en een zon die altijd scheen En dat bleef zo al ontdekte ik ook later dat er niets was dan wat onkruid en wat puin Want de werkelijkheid heeft immers niets te maken met die zelfbedachte echte bloementuin
Van de wereld was die schutting wel het einde van mijn eigen wereld was hij het begin En daar bleef ik in geloven tegen beter weten in
Op het lyceum zat ik jarenlang gevangen als een vreemde vage vlinder in de klas In mijn dagboek schreef ik wilde toekomstdromen want na het eindexamen begon het leven pas En al liep ik later eenzaam vele blauwtjes ergens op een koude kamer in de stad Ik wist zeker: morgen zou het echt beginnen het grootse leven dat ik voor me had
Het van vroeger was vandaag altijd het einde van iets beters en iets nieuws steeds het begin En daar bleef ik in geloven tegen beter weten in
En zo kwam ik steeds bij weer een nieuwe schutting met daarachter weer een ander paradijs En steeds bleek dat weer een veld vol distels En zo werd ik langzaam ouder en heel erg langzaam wijs Maar al ben ik dan toch wat men noemt volwassen en schuttingen, daar kijk ik overheen wanneer ze zeggen: eens wordt alles anders en eens dan worden alle mensen een
En er is geen einde aan het laatste einde er is alleen een eeuwig nieuw begin dat zal ik dan onmiddellijk geloven tegen beter weten in
Er is geen einde aan het laatste einde er is alleen een eeuwig nieuw begin dat zal ik altijd wel geloven tegen beter weten in tegen beter weten in tegen beter weten in tegen beter weten in
My Grandfather's Clock (aka Grandfather's Clock) Composer(s): Henry Clay Work Performer(s): Hank Snow and various other artists
My grandfather's clock Was too large for the shelf So it stood ninety years on the floor It was taller by half Than the old man himself Though it weighed not a pennyweight more It was bought on the morn Of the day that he was born And was always his treasure and pride But it stopped short Never to go again When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering Tick, tock, tick, tock His life seconds numbering Tick, tock, tick, tock It stopped short Never to go again When the old man died
In watching its pendulum Swing to and fro Many hours had he spent while a boy And in childhood and manhood The clock seemed to know And to share both his grief and his joy For it struck twenty-four When he entered at the door With a blooming and beautiful bride But it stopped short Never to go again When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering Tick, tock, tick, tock His life seconds numbering Tick, tock, tick, tock It stopped short Never to go again When the old man died
My grandfather said That of those he could hire Not a servant so faithful he found For it wasted no time And had but one desire At the close of each week to be wound. And it kept in its place Not a frown upon its face And its hand never hung by its side But it stopped short Never to go again When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering Tick, tock, tick, tock His life seconds numbering Tick, tock, tick, tock It stopped short Never to go again When the old man died
It rang an alarm In the dead of the night An alarm that for years had been dumb And we knew that his spirit Was pluming his flight That his hour of departure had come Still the clock kept the time With a soft and muffled chime As we silently stood by his side But it stopped short Never to go again When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering Tick, tock, tick, tock His life seconds numbering Tick, tock, tick, tock It stopped short Never to go again When the old man died

Goodbye My Love Composer(s): Tony & Wando Lam; Nelly Byl Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Vreemd dat je vandaag zoveel beloofd Een woordje meer en je bent verloofd Is het de liefde die ontwaakt Die jou zo onvoorzichtig maakt Maar je weet heel goed Er komt altijd een dag dat je zeggen moet
Goodbye my love, ik moet ver van je heen Goodbye my love en dan blijft zij alleen
Zij groet elke morgen met een lach Je vindt haar steeds voor je iedere dag De liefde straalt op haar gelaat Er is niets dat haar beter staat Maar wat zij ook doet Er komt altijd een dag dat je zeggen moet
Goodbye my love, ik moet ver van je heen Goodbye my love en dan blijft zij alleen
Nu scheppen haar ogen reeds verdriet Je raadt wel waarom, al zegt zij het niet Het is de liefde die stilaan vergaat Die haar zo ongelukkig maakt En je weet heel goed Het is precies de dag dat je zeggen moet
Goodbye my love, ik moet ver van je heen Goodbye my love en dan blijft zij alleen Goodbye my love, ik moet ver van je heen Goodbye my love en dan blijft zij alleen Goodbye my love en dan blijft zij alleen
Teenage Wildlife Composer(s): David Bowie Performer(s): David Bowie
Well, how come you only want tomorrow With its promise of something hard to do A real life adventure worth more than pieces of gold Blue skies above and sun on your arms strength your stride And hope in those squeaky clean eyes You'll get chilly receptions everywhere you go Blinded with desire - I guess the season is on
So you train by shadow boxing, search for the truth But it's all, but it's all used up Break open your million dollar weapon And push your luck, still you push, still you push your luck A broken nosed mogul are you One of the new wave boys
Same old thing in brand new drag Comes sweeping into view, oh ho ho ho ho ho As ugly as a teenage millionaire Pretending it's a whizz kid world You'll take me aside, and say "Well, David, what shall I do? They wait for me in the hallway" I'll say "Don't ask me, I don't know any hallways" But they move in numbers and they've got me in a corner I feel like a group of one, no-no They can't do this to me I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife
Those midwives to history put on their bloody robes The word is that the hunted one is out there on his own And you're alone for maybe the last time And you breathe for a long time Then you howl like a wolf in a trap And you daren't look behind
You fall to the ground like a leaf from the tree And look up one time at that vast blue sky Scream out aloud as they shoot you down No no, I'm not a piece of teenage wildlife I'm not a piece of teenage wildlife
And no one will have seen and no one will confess The fingerprints will prove that you coudn't pass the test There'll be others on the line filing past, who'll whisper low I miss you he really had to go Well each to his own, he was Another piece of teenage wildlife, oh oh oh oh oh Another piece of teenage wildlife, oh oh oh oh oh Another piece of teenage wild... Wild Wild Wild
My Girl's A Rhythm Fan Composer(s): Box; Cox; Roberts Performer(s): Harry Roy
My girls a rhythm fan And when we go dancing, She sits in a corner like little Jack Horner And listens to the Wah-de-da-de-da-de-da-de-da Of the band
My girls a rhythm fan When I take her diving she cant get romantic Shes driving me frantic, all shell do is Wah-de-da-de-da-de-da-de-da with the band
Oh. I never get a kiss, I never get a thrill When the lights are low You cant make love when the turtle dove Goes skiddly-diddly-diddly-diddly-doh
My girls a rhythm fan Home in the evening she seems to be tireless Shell turn on the wireless and listen to the Wah-de-da-de-da-de-da-de-da of the band
Goodbye My Love Composer(s): James Brown Performer(s): James Brown
You know sometimes a man Or a woman makes a mistake Try to find a reason for making a mistake But there is no reason for making a mistake The only thing you do is when You make a mistake is say I'm sorry Take a man or a woman to say I'm sorry And it takes a fool to walk away
So right here I want to say I'm sorry I don't know where you are But you know I need you Now there's one more thing I'd like to say right here I could say goodbye, you just don't understand I could say baby I believe you got another man And that I could say I just can't help myself But I wouldn't be a man
And that I could say maybe we don't have nothing left But I want you to know I still love you Oh no matter where you go, I still love you Oh, oh take it down Jimmy Goodbye my love, throwing me away
Goodbye my love There's one more thing you know to have Someone to worry when you're wrong Feel the need of a real person When your friends drop you behind To kill your anger just by being nice and kind I could say if you leave it wouldn't bother me But I know that would be a lie Cause baby deep down you bother me But I want you to know and I don't care who knows I still love you Woa, oh, I still love you Oh, oh take it down Jimmy Oh, oh take it down Jimmy look a here
Teenage Party Composer(s): Lionel Bart - Mike Pratt - Tommy Steele Performer(s): Tommy Steele
Gonna have a teenage party We're gonna have a teenage time We're gonna make it high and hearty If you're ready, that's fine

My Girl Josephine (aka Hello Josephine) Dutch Title: Hallo Josephine Composer(s): Dave Bartholomew; Antoine "Fats" Domino Originally performed by: Fats Domino Covered by various other artists
Hello, Josephine A-how do you do? Do you remember me, baby Like I remember you? You used to laugh at me And holler 'hoo-hoo-ooo'
I used to walk you home I used to hold your hand You used to use my umbrella Ev'rytime it rained You used to cry so much It was a cryin' shame
You used to live over yonder By the railroad tracks When it rained you couldn't walk I used to tote you on my back Now you try to make believe It wasn't no days like that
Hello, Josephine A-how do you do? Do you remember me, baby Like I remember you? You used to laugh at me And holler 'hoo-hoo-hoo'

Goodbye Mrs. Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin' No more I'll dig your praties, no longer I'll be poor As sure as my name is Barney, I'm off to Califarny Instead of digging praties, I'll be digging lumps of gold
In the days when I was courting, I was never tired resorting To the alehouse and the playhouse, and the other house besides But I told my brother Seamus, "I'll be off now and grow famous And before that I return again, I'll roam the whole world wide"
So, it's goodbye Mrs. Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin' No more I'll dig your praties, no longer I'll be poor As sure as my name is Barney, I'm off to Califarny Instead of digging praties, I'll be digging lumps of gold

So, it's goodbye Mrs. Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin' No more I'll dig your praties, no longer I'll be poor As sure as my name is Barney, I'm off to Califarny Instead of digging praties, I'll be digging lumps of gold
When I landed in America, I met a man named Burke He told me if I'd stay a while, he'd surely find me work But work he didn't find me, so there's nothing here to bind me I'm bound for San Francisco, in Califor-ni-yay!
So, it's goodbye Mrs. Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin' No more I'll dig your praties, no longer I'll be poor As sure as my name is Barney, I'm off to Califarny Instead of digging praties, I'll be digging lumps of gold
Well, I'm now in San Francisco, and my fortune it is made My pockets loaded down with gold, I'll throw away my spade I'll go back to dear old Erin, spend my fortune never carin' I'll marry Queen Victori', Mrs. Durkin for to spite
So, it's goodbye Mrs. Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin' No more I'll dig your praties, no longer I'll be poor As sure as my name is Barney, I'm off to Califarny Instead of digging praties, I'll be digging lumps of gold
My Girl Bill Composer(s): Jim Stafford Performer(s): Jim Stafford
Bill walked me to my door last night And he said, "Before I go There's something about our love affair That I have a right to know" I said, "Let's not stand out here like this What would the neighbours think? Why don't we just step inside And I'll fix us both a drink"
My girl, Bill My, my girl, Bill Can't say enough about the way I feel About my girl, (My girl, my girl), my girl Bill
William's hands were shaking As he took his glass of wine And I could see we both felt the same And when his eyes met mine I said, "Who we love and why we love It's hard to understand Let's just sit here on the couch And face this, man to man"
My girl, Bill My, my girl, Bill Can't say enough about the way I feel About my girl, (My girl, my girl), my girl, Bill
"Bill, you know we just left her place And we both know what she said She doesn't want to see your face And she wishes you were dead! Now, I know we both love her And I guess we always will But you're gonna have to find another 'Cause she's my girl ...... Bill!"
My girl, Bill My, my girl, Bill Can't say enough about the way I feel About my girl, (My girl, my girl) Talkin' 'bout my little girl My girl, Bill
My girl, Bill My, my girl, Bill Can't say enough about the way I feel About my girl, (My girl, my girl), my girl, Bill ...
