Thank You For The Music ((French Version: Envoyez Le Générique (Maurice Barrier & Marie Framboise) - 1983)) Composer(s): Benny Andersson - Björn Ulvaeus First release by: ABBA - 1977 Covered by multiple other artists
I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before But I have a talent, a wonderful thing 'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing I'm so grateful and proud All I want is to sing it out loud
So I say Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty What would life be? Without a song or a dance what are we? So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me
Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk She says I began to sing long before I could talk And I've often wondered, how did it all start? Who found out that nothing can capture a heart Like a melody can? Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan
So I say Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty What would life be? Without a song or a dance what are we? So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me
I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair I wanna sing it out to everybody What a joy, what a life, what a chance!
So I say Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty What would life be? Without a song or a dance what are we? So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me
Envoyez Le Générique ((Adapted from: Thank You For The Music (ABBA) - 1977)) Composer(s): Benny Andersson - Björn Ulvaeus - Alain Boublil - Daniel Boublil Performer(s): Maurice Barrier & Marie Framboise - 1983
Je vous aimais bien, vous tous qui suiviez mes cours Et je ne vais pas vous ennuyer d'un long discours
Promis je vais faire court Vous dire sans détour Que j'ai rencontré un monsieur charmant Et pas prince pour autant Je vous quitte, c'est la faute à l'amour
C'est parti... Envoyez le générique, l'histoire est finie La géographie... nie aussi Décraquez les cancres, les tocards et les costauds Plus besoin On va tous lever l'ancre, à bientôt C'est parti, envoyez le générique Quatre, trois, deux, un, rideau !
Vous n'aviez pas tous la bosse des mathématiques Oui mais quand on bosse, il faut avoir l'esprit logique
Et si je n'm'abuse Aucune science infuse Ne donne le carré de l'hypothénuse Alors promettez-moi De faire mieux quand je ne s'rai plus là
On fait des voyages ensemble dans les livres d'images On se sépare à la dernière page C'est magique Fantastique En musique
Thank You Darling Composer(s): Fini Busch - Werner Scharfenberger Performer(s): The Supremes

Thank You Composer(s): Jimmy Page - Robert Plant Performer(s): Led Zeppelin - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists
If the sun refused to shine I would still be loving you When mountains crumble to the sea There will still be you and me
Kind woman, I give you my all Kind woman, nothing more
Little drops of rain whisper of the pain Tears of loves lost in the days gone by My love is strong, with you there is no wrong Together we shall go until we die, my, my, my Inspiration is what you are to me Inspiration, look see
And so today, my world it smiles Your hand in mine, we walk the miles But thanks to you it will be done For you to me are the only one, ah, ah yeah Happiness, no more be sad Happiness, I'm glad
If the sun refused to shine I would still be loving you Mountains crumble to the sea There will still be you and me
Thank The Nurse Performer(s): Country Joe McDonald
Doctors and Physicians diagnose and prescribe Surgeons can operate but they don't save your life For when the fever's burning, who helps you through the night Gives you medication and checks your vital signs? When you wake up in recovery who's right there by your side? With a smile and reassurance, restoring your self-pride.
Thank the Nurse that's nursing you The one that nursed you through Thank the Nurse that's nursing you For saving your life... for saving your life... For Saving Your Life!
Oh, the Doctor is important of that we can't deny But when you get down to it, the Nurse keeps you alive The one who cleans your body and bandages your wounds The one who makes your bed, gives you medicine and food Helps you through contractions, until the pain subsides Encourage you to make it 'till you hear your baby cry!
Thank the Nurse that's nursing you The one that nursed you through Thank the Nurse that's nursing you For saving your life... for saving your life... For Saving Your Life!
When you're sick and convalescing you're seldom in the mood To pay attention to the one attending you So full of rack and worry you think you'll lose your mind You survived the accident but all your friends have died When the orderly is sleeping and physician can't be found No need for apprehension a nurse is making rounds!
Thank the Nurse that's nursing you The one that nursed you through Thank the Nurse that's nursing you For saving your life... for saving your life... For Saving Your Life!
Thank The Lord For The Night Time Composer(s): Neil Diamond Performer(s): Neil Diamond
Daytime turns me off, and I don't mean maybe Nine-to-five ain't taking me where I'm bound When it's done, I run out to see my baby We get groovin' when the sun goes down
I thank the Lord for the night time To forget the day of up, uptight time Baby, chase it away I get relaxation It's a time to groove I thank the Lord for the night time I thank the Lord for you
I'll talk about plans now, baby I got plenty Nothing ever seems turn out the the way it should Talk about money, girl, I ain't got any Seems like just one time I'm feeling' good
I thank the Lord for the night time To forget the day of up, uptight time Baby, chase it away I get relaxation It's a time to groove I thank the lord for the night time I thank the Lord for you
Thank Heaven For Little Girls Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe First performance/First recording by: Maurice Chevalier - 1958/Hank Jones - 1958 Covered by multiple other artists
Now for example here we find Exhibit A, the married kind These ladies stood their ground and won And I salute them, every one
Here are some others to behold For whom the bells have never tolled Oh what a poor defenseless pair In those pathetic rags they wear Each time I see a little girl Of five or six or seven I can't resist a joyous urge To smile and say Thank heaven for little girls For little girls get Bigger every day Thank heaven for little girls They grow up in The most delightful way Those little eyes So helpless and appealing When they were flashing Send you crashing Through the ceiling Thank heaven for little girls Thank heaven for them all No matter where No matter who Without them What would little boys do Thank heaven Thank heaven Thank heaven for little girls
Chewin' Mama Blues Composer(s): John Henry Performer(s): Dinah Washington; Lucky Thompson
I'm in love with a man Who's not in love with me Yes, I'm in love with a man Who's not in love with me If I can't get that man I'd just as soon be down deep in the sea
Yes, he's got everything I've wanted And I'm not speaking of his gold He's got everything I ever wanted And I'm not speaking of his gold He's got that certain somethin' That really satisfies my soul
I'm telling you right now Baby I'm gonna get you if I can Yes, I'm telling you right now Baby I'm going to get you if I can How could you want another woman When you know I can't use another man

Thank God I Found You Composer(s): James Harris - Mariah Carey - Terry Lewis Performer(s): Joe Henderson, Mariah Carey, 98 Degrees
(Mariah) I would give up everything Before I'd separate myself from you After so much suffering I've finally found a man that's true I was all by myself for the longest time So cold inside And the hurt from the heart it would not subside I felt like dying Until you saved my life
(All) Thank God I found you I was lost without you My every wish and every dream Somehow became reality When you brought the sunlight Completed my whole life I'm overwhelmed with gratitude 'Cause baby I'm so thankful I found you
(Joe) I would give you everything There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do To ensure your happiness I'll cherish every part of you Because without you beside me I can't survive I don't wanna try If you're keeping me warm each and every night I'll be all right 'Cause I need you in my life
(All) Thank God I found you (I'm begging you) I was lost without you (so lost without you) My every wish and every dream (every dream, every dream) Somehow became reality When you brought the sunlight (brought the sunlight) Completed my whole life I'm overwhelmed with gratitude 'Cause baby I'm so thankful I found you
(Mariah & Joe) See I was so desolate Before you came to me Looking back I guess it shows that we were destined to shine After the rain to appreciate And care for what we have And I'd go through it all over again To be able to feel this way
(All) Thank God I found you I was lost without you (lost without you baby) My every wish and every dream Somehow became reality When you brought the sunlight Completed my whole life (whole life) I'm overwhelmed with gratitude Sweet baby I'm so thankful I found you

Aamunkoittoon et oottanutkaan lilja, ruusu, kirsikkapuu Vain muiston talteen talvelta saan paljon jää ja pois unohtuu
Kerroitko kaikkea minkä mä näin lilja, ruusu, kirsikkapuu Niin monta kertaa sanoitta jäin polku luokses' nyt sammaltuu
Kerroinko onnesta minkä mä sain lilja, ruusu, kirsikkapuu Niin paljon kannoit mun huolistain Raidat kirkkaat nyt haalistuu
Kertoa kuinka nyt sinulle voin lilja, ruusu, kirsikkapuu Kun lähdit niin kaiken jäätyvän koin Laulu linnun pois vaientuu
Aamunkoittoon et oottanutkaan lilja, ruusu, kirsikkapuu Vain muiston talteen talvelta saan paljon jää ja pois unohtuu

Thank God And Greyhound Composer(s): Larry Kingston - Earl Nix Performer(s): Roy Clark; Ray Pillow
I've made a small fortune, and you've squandered it all You've shamed me till I feel about one inch tall But I thought I loved you, and I hoped you would change so I gritted my teeth and didn't complain
Now you've come to me with a simple goodbye You tell me you're leaving, but you won't tell me why We're here at the station and you're getting on And all I can think of is...
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone! I didn't know how much longer I could go on watching you take the respect out of me watching you make a total wreck out of me That big diesel motor is a playing my song
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone! That load on my mind got lighter when you got on That shiney old bus is a beautiful sight with the black smoke rolling up around the tail lights It may sound kinda cruel, but I've been silent too long

Love can make a fool of you You'd do anything it wants you to Love can make you feel so good When it goes like you think it should
Or it can make you cry at night When you're baby don't treat you right When you're feeling sad and blue You know love's made a fool of you
You know love makes fools of men But you don't care you're gonna try again Time goes by it's a passing past You think that love has come at last
But by and by you're gonna find Crazy love has made you blind When you're feeling sad and blue You know love's made a fool of you
Love can make you feel so good When it goes like you think it should Or it can make you cry at night When you're baby don't treat you right
When you're feeling sad and blue You know love's made a fool of you
