Tennessee Blues Composer(s): Bobby Charles First release by: Bobby Charles - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists
If I had my way I'd leave here today and move in a hurry I know I feel loose I know I could lose these Tennessee Blues Find me a spot on some mountain top With lakes all around me Vallies and streams birds in the trees Lakes that surround me A place I feel loose A place I could lose these Tennessee Blues A place to forget all my regrets And keep just the good times A place I could sleep with nothing but peace And Feel free at all times I know I feel loose Someplace I could lose these Tennessee Blues
Find me a spot on some mountain top With lakes all around me With vallies and streams and birds in the trees And lakes that surround me A place I feel loose A place I could lose these Tennessee Blues
My Pa Composer(s): Michael Leonard; Herbert Martin Performer(s): Barbra Streisand; Bill Wright
My Pa can light my room at night By just his being near And make a fear for dream all right By grinning ear to ear My Pa can do most anything He sets his mind to do He'd even move a mountain If he really wanted to My Pa can sweeten up a day That clouds and rain make gray And tell me funny stories That will chase the clouds away My Pa's the only one on Earth I can tell my troubles to His arms are house and home to me His face's a pretty poem to me My Pa's the finest friend I ever knew I only wish that you Could know him too...

You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain Too much love drives a man insane You broke my will, but what a thrill Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire I laughed at love 'cause I thought it was funny You came along and moved me honey I've changed my mind, your love is fine Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire Kiss me baby, woo feels good Hold me baby, well I want to love you like a lover should You're fine, so kind I want to tell the world that you're mine, mine, mine, mine I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs I'm real nervous, but it sure is fun Come on baby, drive me crazy Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire!!
Tennessee Bird Walk Composer(s): Jack Blanchard Performer(s): Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan
Take away the trees and the birds'll have to sit upon the ground... ummmm... And take away their wings and the birds'll have to walk to get around And take away the bird baths and dirty birds will soon be everywhere Take away their feathers and the birds'll walk around in underwear Take away their (a little whistle) and the birds will have to whisper when they sing (verbal "chirp chirp") And take away their common sense and they'll be headed southward in the spring Oh remember me darling when spring is in the air And the bald-headed birds are whispering everywhere You can see them walkin' southward in their dirty underwear That's the Tennessee Bird Walk
How bout some trees so the birds won't have to sit upon the ground... ummmm...

That's the Tennessee Bird Walk (chirp chirp) That's the Tennessee Bird Walk (chirp chirp) That's the Tennessee Bird Walk (chirp chirp)

Grease Composer(s): Barry Gibb Performer(s): Frankie Valli; and various other artists
I solve my problems and I see the light We gotta plug and think, we gotta feed it right There ain't no danger we can go to far We start believing now that we can be who we are
Grease is the word They think our love is just a growing pain Why don't they understand, It's just a crying shame Their lips are lying only real is real We start to find right now we got to be what we feel
Grease is the word Grease is the word, is the word that you heard It's got groove it's got meaning Grease is the time, is the place is the motion Grease is the way we are feeling
We take the pressure and we throw away Conventionality belongs to yesterday There is a chance that we can make it so far We start believing now that we can be wo we are
Grease is the word Grease is the word, is the word that you heard It's got groove it's got meaning Grease is the time, is the place is the motion Grease is the way we are feeling This is the life of illusion Wrapped up in trouble laced with confusion What we doing here?

Wie Heeft De Sleutel Van De Jukebox Gezien Performer(s): Cocktail Trio
Heehee, heehee, heehee, heehee He! Yup He! Ja Zet die plaat af! Dat kan niet Waarom niet? De sleutel van de jukebox is weg
Wie heeft de sleutel van de jukebox gezien Wie heeft m ergens gevonden misschien Wie heeft de sleutel van de jukebox gezien Want de plaat is kapot en dat ding zit op slot
Op de jukebox stond een plaatje dat bleef hangen op dat heehee En de sleutel van de jukebox bleek verdwenen in dat café Dus eenieder liep met zon gezicht want die jukebox zat potdicht En de stroom uitschakelen kon niet, dat bleek ook de knop van t licht
Wie heeft de sleutel van de jukebox gezien Wie heeft m ergens gevonden misschien Wie heeft de sleutel van de jukebox gezien Want de plaat is kapot en dat ding zit op slot
De kastelijn nam toen de lichtknop en zei wie er nog wat lust Moet t voor t donker maar zeggen, we krijgen tien minuten rust Maar zonder licht in een café, hoe komt n mens op dat idee t Werd me n trammelant in t donker, je hoorde aan alle kanten heehee
Wie heeft de sleutel van de jukebox gezien Wie heeft m ergens gevonden misschien Wie heeft de sleutel van de jukebox gezien Want de plaat is kapot en dat ding zit op slot
En de mensen die daar woonden, aan de zij- en overkant Namen ook die kreet al over, he wat is daar aan de hand Toen eenieder dol geworden was kwam er een hamer bij te pas En daar kijk, heehee, lag de sleutel, in de scherven achter t glas
Asjemenou buuuuh
Wie heeft de sleutel van de jukebox gezien Wie heeft m ergens gevonden misschien Wie heeft de sleutel van de jukebox gezien Want de plaat is kapot en dat ding zit op slot
Wie heeft de sleutel van de jukebox gezien Wie heeft m ergens gevonden misschien Wie heeft de sleutel van de jukebox gezien Want de plaat is kapot en dat ding zit op slot
Grazing In The Grass Composer(s): Harry Elston; Philemon Hou Performer(s): The Friends Of Distinction; and various other artists
Sure is mellow grazin' in the grass (grazin' in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?) What a trip just watchin' as the world goes past (grazin' in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?) There are too many groovy things to see while grazin' in the grass (grazin' in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?) Flowers with colours for takin', everything outta sight (grazin' in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?)
The sun peekin' out between the leaves (grazin' in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?) And the bir-ir-ir-irds dartin' in and out of the trees (grazin' in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?)
Everything here is so clear, you can see it And everything here is so real, you can feel it And it's real, so real, so real, so real, so real, so real Can you dig it?
I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it we can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it Oh, let's dig it Can you dig it, baby? I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it we can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it Oh, let's dig it Can you dig it, baby?

Tengo Sed Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
"Tengo sed" te oí decir con el aliento apenas Y te arrullé, como a un recién nacido contra mis pechos ávidos de labios tuyos Te dí de beber Y luego de saciarte, volviste a repetir "tengo sed" sin aliento apenas Te arrullé, esta vez entre mis muslos y de nuevo te di de beber En la fuente de la vida y de la muerte, sellaste con un beso el último suspiro
My Own Composer(s): Harold Adamson; Jimmy McHugh Performer(s): Deanna Durbin and various other artists
My own, let me call you my own Let me make you a part of the song in my heart Alone, Im just living in vain Everything that I do is depending on you Show me your sign of your longing for me Say you are mine, and forever that you will be My own, every dream I have known Has been built of but one desire Just to call you my own
Show me your sign of your longing for me Say you are mine, and forever that you will be My own, every dream I have known Has been built of but one desire Just to call you my own
Show me your sign of your longing for me Say you are mine, and forever that you will be My own, every dream I have known Has been built of but one desire Just to call you my own
Aldrig Mer ((Adapted from: Che Sarà (Ricchi E Poveri) - 1971)) ((French Version: Qui Saura (Mike Brant) - 1972)) Composer(s): Jimmy Fontana - Nicola Greco - Franco Migliacci - Carlo Pes - Stig Anderson Performer(s): Hootenanny Singers - 1971
Så lämnar jag den by som sett mej födas snart sover den en evig törnrossömn Ty borta är dess ungdom, blott de gamla lever kvar i denna bygd som en gång blomstrat har
Aldrig mer, aldrig mer, aldrig mer! Det finns ingen som kan ändra det som sker Aldrig mer hörs skratt från ängen glada röster - Ingenting Mörk och dyster ruvar skogen runtomkring
Här sprang det nakna barn i sommarns dagar och klövern stod så saftig och så grön Vi badade i viken och det hördes glada skratt från ungdom i den ljusa sommarnatt
Aldrig mer, aldrig mer, aldrig mer! Det finns ingen som kan ändra det som sker När de gamlas röster tystnat då är stillheten total Skulle någon minnas sen en öde dal?
Man måste alltid gå i takt med tiden dum vore jag att ensam spjärna mot Men ändå känns det som jag svikit någon gammal vän Farväl, vi kanske aldrig ses igen
Aldrig mer, aldrig mer, aldrig mer! Det finns ingen som kan ändra det som sker Det finns ingen plats för tårar ingen anledning till gråt Det är ändå ingenting att göra åt
My Oriental Girl Composer(s): Edward Beck; Milton E. Schwarzwald
Far off where the lonely caravan winds on its way In that distant land Proud Sheik dreaming of his sweetheart who is waiting there Far o'er the desert sands He'll forget the deserts whirl When he meets his Oriental Girl My
Night winds seem to whisper of his love so far away Stars remind him of her eyes Still he knows to meet her he must journey night and day And that is why he sighs But tho' deserts may be wide Soon he'll see his Oriental Bride My
Oriental Girl Oriental Girl A face that's so entrancing And eyes with fire dancing A form that keeps you glancing all the while O'er the desert wide Come to my side Let me protect you So no one will get you Be my Oriental Bride
Dimmi cos'è che ci fa sentire amici anche se non ci conosciamo dimmi cos'è che ci fa sentire uniti anche se siamo lontani dimmi cos'è cos'è che batte forte forte forte in fondo al cuore che ci toglie il respiro e ci parla d'amore Grazie Roma che ci fai piangere abbracciati ancora Grazie Roma, grazie Roma che ci fai vivere e sentire ancora una persona nuova Dimmi cos'è cos'è quella stella grande grande in fondo al cielo che brilla dentro di te e grida forte forte dal tuo cuore Grazie Roma che ci fai piangere abbracciati ancora Grazie Roma, grazie Roma che ci fai vivere e sentire ancora una persona nuova Dimmi chi è che me fa sentì 'mportante anche se nun conto niente che me fa Re quando sento le campane la domenica mattina Dimmi che è chi è che me fa campà sta vita così piena de problemi e che me da coraggio se tu non me voi bene Grazie Roma che ci fai piangere abbracciati ancora Grazie Roma, grazie Roma che ci fai vivere e sentire ancora una persona nuova
Tengo Que Parar Composer(s): Miguel Mateos Performer(s): Miguel Mateos
(Me encanta cantar este tema) Como un estúpido bajo la lluvia corriendo taxis sin saber qué hacer nadie tiene fuego, ni siquiera un cospel Necesito hacer esa llamada necesito un poco de control La cosa viene mal, la tengo que parar
Tengo que parar, tengo que parar ¡Tengo que! ¡Tengo que! ¡Tengo que parar!
Alguien me sigue, doy vuelta en la esquina hay sueños que no puedo borrar veo un negrito con un diccionario que le cura las heridas con la lengua a un millonario Veo misiles en la 9 de Julio apuntándole a mi oso peluche Lo veo a Reagan, Jimi Hendrix y Evita en una mesa del Sheraton deshojando margaritas
Tengo que parar, tengo que parar ¡Tengo que! ¡Tengo que! ¡Tengo que parar!
Uno, dos y tres; uno, dos y tres desnudo en el espejo me miro una vez, me miro otra vez y no descubro nunca quién es ¿Quién soy? ¿Quién es? ¿Quién soy? ¿Quizás?
Me desperté con la TV al mango sin cigarrillos, ni pastillas, ni alcohol quiero café con leche nena no me eches
Esta noche incendiaré mi auto tendrás que darme refugio nadie sabrá dónde estamos será señal que paramos
Tengo que parar, tengo que parar ¡Tengo que! ¡Tengo que! ¡Tengo que parar!
Todo va mejor, todo va mejor con un poco de amor todo va mejor, todo va mejor con un poquito así, así de amor Amor...! amor...! I love you... Ti voglio bene... Je t'aime... Amor...! I love you... oh! oh! She loves you ¡Yea, yea, yea! All you need is love

Lady Lady Lay, lady lady Lady Lay, Lady lady Lady Lay
Je vous revois me sourire
Lady Lady Lay, lady lady Lady Lay, Lady lady Lady Lay
vous, mon plus beau souvenir
Moi quinze ans vous presque une femme déjà
Et pourtant combien de fois
Souvent j'ai rêvé de vous embrasser
Au printemps dans la lumière on courrait
Puis dans l'herbe on s'allongeait
Votre coeur enfin battait près du mien
Et j'étais si bien
Lady Lady Lay, lady lady Lady Lay, Lady lady Lady Lay
Je pense à vous bien souvent
Lady Lady Lay, lady lady Lady Lay, Lady lady Lady Lay
Je redeviens un enfant
Son regard et ses élans de tendresse
Étaient pour moi des caresses
Je fermais les yeux et j'étais heureux
J'ai cherché depuis ce temps là sans cesse
Un autre amour de jeunesse
Mais aucun jamais n'a su remplacer
Lady Lady Lay
