The Army Goes Rolling Along (aka "The Caisson Song" and "The Field Artillery Song") Composer(s): Edmund L. Gruber
March along, sing our song, with the Army of the free Count the brave, count the true, who have fought to victory Were the Army and proud of our name Were the Army and proudly proclaim
First to fight for the right And to build the Nations might And The Army Goes Rolling Along
Proud of all we have done Fighting till the battles won And the Army Goes Rolling Along
Then its Hi! Hi! Hey! The Armys on its way Count off the cadence loud and strong (Two! Three!) For where eer we go You will always know That The Army Goes Rolling Along
Valley Forge, Custers ranks San Juan Hill and Pattons tanks And the Army went rolling along Minute men, from the start Always fighting from the heart And the Army keeps rolling along
Then its Hi! Hi! Hey! The Armys on its way Count off the cadence loud and strong (Two! Three!) For where eer we go You will always know That The Army Goes Rolling Along
Men in rags, men who froze Still that Army met its foes And the Army went rolling along Faith in God, then were right And well fight with all our might As the Army keeps rolling along
Then its Hi! Hi! Hey! The Armys on its way Count off the cadence loud and strong (Two! Three!) For where eer we go You will always know That The Army Goes Rolling Along
Il me disait y a qu'le look qui compte
Et moi bien sûr j'me suis pas rendu compte
Qu'il regardait par dessus mon épaule
Cette fille lui a fait le coup du sang chaud
Et moi j'avais pas la couleur de peau
Pour le calypso
Besame mucho
Vertige des pays chauds
Il disait: "let's go"
J'ai besoin d'autre chose
Calypso
Il rêvait tout haut
Danser là-bas bientôt
Le calypso, tico tico tico
Calypso
C'est vrai qu'ici c'est pas les paillettes
C'est pas non plus la mort qui nous guette
Derrière les grands chapeaux, les sombreros
Et moi j'les trouve trop sucrés leurs sirops
Même si l'soleil d'ici n'brille pas si haut
Pour le calypso
Besame mucho
Vertige des pays chauds
Il disait: "let's go"
J'ai besoin d'autre chose
Calypso
Rythmo latino
Danser là-bas bientôt
Le calypso, tico tico tico
Calypso
À chacun ses héros
Lui Dario Moreno
Moi Police ou Toto {calypso, una storia retro}
Moi Elton ou Bowie
Et lui Luis Mariano {calypso, amore pasado}
Moi Janis ou Carly
Et lui Gloria Lasso {calypso}
Calypso
C'est pas l'homme qu'il me faut
À chacun ses héros
Moi Police ou Toto
Lui Dario Moreno {calypso, amor latino}
Adios Roico
Hasta luego
Fanfare/Don't Dream It Composer(s): Richard O'Brien Performer(s): The Toronto Musical Review; and various other artists
Dr. Frank-N-Furter: Whatever happened to Fay Wray? That delicate satin draped frame As it clung to her thigh, how I started to cry 'Cause I wanted to be dressed just the same Give yourself over to absolute pleasure Swim the warm waters of sins of the flesh Erotic nightmares beyond any measure And sensual daydreams to treasure forever Can't you just see it, whoo-ho-ho! Don't dream it, be it Don't dream it, be it
(Don't dream it, be it) (Don't dream it, be it) (Don't dream it, be it) (Don't dream it, be it) (Don't dream it, be it) (Don't dream it, be it) (Don't dream it, be it) (Don't dream it, be it) (Don't dream it, be it)
Dr. Von Scott: Ach! We've got to get out of this trap Before this decadence saps our wills I've got to be strong and try to hang on Or else my mind, may well snap And my life will be lived For the thrills
Dr. Frank-N-Furter: Don't dream it, be it Brad: It's beyond me, help me, Mommy Janet: God bless Lili St. Cyr

Calypso
((Adapted from: Calypso (English Version) (by John Denver) - 1975))
Composer(s): John Denver - Johan Verminnen
Performer(s): Bart Kaëll - 1998
We zeilen zo rustig doorheen kabbelend water En denken nog niet aan 't gevaar van een storm We zijn zo gelukkig, de zorgen voor later We zien wel wat er ooit nog van komt We zijn moe van de vragen en van de problemen We willen dat iemand ons redt uit de nood
Vaar Calypso en klief de golven Toon ons de wereld die jij verkent Vaar Calypso, we willen jou volgen Naar oorden die niemand van ons nu al kent Hidiheeho...
Een groepje dolfijnen duikt voor het schip op Tot groot jolijt van de zeelui aan boord De zon aan de einder die moet straks verdwijnen En kleurt de avond plots hevig fel rood We zijn vrij als de wind, we kennen geen grenzen De wereld is groot, veel groter dan groot
Vaar Calypso en klief de golven Toon ons de wereld die jij verkent Vaar Calypso, we willen jou volgen Naar oorden die niemand van ons nu al kent
Vaar Calypso en klief de golven Toon ons de wereld die jij verkent Vaar Calypso, we willen jou volgen Naar oorden die niemand van ons nu al kent Hidiheeho...

Fanfan Petite Fanfan, petite Fanfan je m'ennuie
Heureusement il y a Noël Et les vacances de Pâques au Tréport Heureusement que l'arc-en-ciel Repeint les mâts des bateaux dans le port J'espère que tu t'ennuies un peu de moi Que tu n'as pas trop de copains Mais si bien sûr tu as un peu de joie Garde-m'en pour demain
Fanfan Petite Fanfan, je m'ennuie Dans mon lycée aux murs de pluie J'entends les bruits qui font les étoiles J'entends le cri du train de nuit Qui prend mon lit et le trimballe D'ici je vois comme au bout d'un tunnel Le bleu de ta robe de pastel Ô qu'il me soit bientôt donné le temps De revoir Fanfan

Calling Your Name Again
Composer(s): Richard Carpenter - Richard Marx
Performer(s): The Carpenters
I wake up in the dark The silence brings me to my senses I wonder where you are Then I feel the pain The pain in my heart Coz Im living without your love Im all - alone for the first time And it doesnt seem to be a dream A dream that will be over
All the words you said Werent enough to fool this heartache The memories in my head Are they enough to stop me falling apart? Coz Im living without your love Maybe it wont be the last time I dont know how much more I can take Hopeless wide-awake and here I go
Calling your name again Thinking of all that we two had before Theres got to be more This I know Calling your name again Remembering all the love you gave to me And how it used to be
I think of whats to come Then I turned and see your picture The tears began to fall And soon again they sense of nothing at all Coz Im living without your love Wont think that Ill make it this time Something tells me this is not the end Wish I could pretend but here I go
Calling your name again Thinking of all that we two had before Theres got to be more This I know Calling your name again Remembering all the love you gave to me And how it used to be
Calling your name again Remembering all the love you gave to me And how it used to be
The Argonaut (Traditional) Performer(s): Roger McGuinn
'Twas the twenty-first of January Eighteen fifty three Our gallant ship the Argonaut Set sail for jubilee Singin' blow ye winds of morning Blow ye winds hi ho Stow away your runnin' gear and Blow boys blow
We headed up to Greenland Into the wintry seas Where there's ice and snow, and the whale fish blow And Jamaca rum would freeze Singin' blow ye winds of morning Blow ye winds hi ho Stow away your runnin' gear and Blow boys blow
Our captain Davy Grant me boys He give us all a treat And that is why we caught a whale That measured fifty feet Singin' blow ye winds of morning Blow ye winds hi ho Stow away your runnin' gear and Blow boys blow
And when reached Cape Harrison The weather it turned clear Our pilot aimed us to the south And homeward we did steer Singin' blow ye winds of morning Blow ye winds hi ho Stow away your runnin' gear and Blow boys blow
But shortly out of Newfoundland A storm began to rise The seas kicked up, the mast it broke The Argonaut capsized Singin' blow ye winds of morning Blow ye winds hi ho Stow away your runnin' gear and Blow boys blow
Of all those bold, brave sailors On that day did set sail Well I'm the only one alive Left to tell the tale Singin' blow ye winds of morning Blow ye winds hi ho Stow away your runnin' gear and Blow boys blow
It was the twenty-first of January Eighteen fifty three Our gallant ship the Argonaut Set sail for jubilee Singin' blow ye winds of morning Blow ye winds hi ho Stow away your runnin' gear and Blow boys blow

Fancy Composer(s): Bobbie Gentry Performer(s): Bobbie Gentry; and various other artists
"Well, I remember it all very well lookin' back It was the summer that I turned eighteen We lived in a one-room, run down shack on the outskirts of New Orleans
We didn't have money for food or rent to say the least we was hard-pressed when Momma spent every last penny we had to buy me a dancin' dress
Well, Momma washed and combed and curled my hair then she painted my eyes and lips Then I stepped into the satin dancin' dress It had a split in the side clean up to my hips
It was red, velvet-trimmed, and it fit me good and standin' back from the lookin' glass was a woman where a half grown kid had stood
She said, "Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down! Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down God forgive me for what I do but if you want out girl it's up to you Now get on out, you better start sleepin' uptown"
Momma dabbed a little bit of perfume on my neck and she kissed my cheek Then I saw the tears welling up in her troubled eyes as she started to speak
She looked at our pitiful shack and then she looked at me and took a ragged breath She said, Your Pa's runned off, and I'm real sick and the baby's gonna starve to death
She handed me a heart-shaped locket that said "To thine own self be true" and I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across the toe of my high-healed shoe
It sounded like somebody else was talkin' askin', "Momma what do I do?" She said, "Just be nice to the gentlemen, Fancy They'll be nice to you"
She said, "Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down! Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down God forgive me for what I do But if you want out girl it's up to you Now don't let me down now get on out, you better start sleepin' uptown"
That was the last time I saw my momma when I left that rickety shack The welfare people came and took the baby Momma died and I ain't been back
But the wheels of fate had started to turn and for me there was no other way out It wasn't very long after that I knew exactly what my momma was talkin' 'bout
I knew what I had to do Then I made myself this solemn vow I's gonna to be a lady someday though I didn't know when or how
But I couldn't see spendin' the rest of my life with my head hung down in shame You know I mighta been born just plain white trash but Fancy was my name
She said, "Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down! Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down God forgive me for what I do but if you want out girl it's up to you Now get on out, you better start sleepin' uptown"
Wasn't long after that a benevolent man took me in off the streets One week later I was pourin' his tea in a five roomed penthouse suite
Since then I've charmed a king, a congressman and an occasional aristocrat and I got me an elegant Georgia mansion and a New York townhouse flat
Now I ain't done bad
Now in this world there's a lot of self-righteous hypocrites who call me bad They criticize Momma for turning me out No matter how little we had
But I haven't had to worry 'bout nothin' now for nigh on fifteen years But I can still hear the desperation in my poor mommas voice ringin' in my ears
"Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down! Oh, here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down God forgive me for what I do but if you want out girl it's up to you Now get on out, you better start sleepin' uptown"

Callin' Out My Name Composer(s): Del Shannon Performer(s): Del Shannon
There's trouble in paradise with her love you pay such a price She must be all alone again she's calling for me
She doesn't turn me all the time When I need her she's got a busy line She must be all alone again she's calling for me What else could it be
I know she's she's calling out my name I know she's she's never gonna change her ways She's always treat me the same and she knows it's true what am I gonna do
I could go so far away but I know I couldn't stay Knowing that she's all alone again calling for me
She's dangerous to my heart I shoulda known it from the start She must be all alone again she's calling for me what else could it be
Fan Mail Composer(s): Jimmy Destri Performer(s): Blondie
I set my hand to writing you, it drifted off the page I sold my one vision, for a piece of the cake I haven't ate in days For unspoken value aesthetic and charm I'd smile at you sideways But the lighting is wrong I'm taking a picture and counting the cost While the bells in my ears keep ringing I set my hand to writing you, it drifted of the page I nearly fell I feel like a lowlife in hell And I haven't slept in days and days, days and days Beat on my Fender through my Gemini two Play to the posters on the wall of my room Thought I was crazy when I'd think about you And the bells in my ears keep ringing And the bells in my ears keep ringing In my ear bells are ringing
