The Blues Is All I Ever Had Composer(s): Bobby Troup Performer(s): Julie London
Some folks always seem to find the good things Other folks get mixed up with the bad Don't ask me what I know about the good things The blues is all I ever had
To some, the earth's a world of friendly faces For those lucky few, I'm awful glad My world's been a string of second places The blues is all I ever had
When I first met him, I thought that maybe He could change this lonely life I led When he smiled and said, "I love you, baby" Silly girl, I b'lieved each word he said
Guess it's time for me to say "good bye" now Didn't mean to leave you feelin' sad Since he's gone, what is there left to try now? The blues is all I ever had
Candy Says
Composer(s): Lou Reed
First release by: The Velvet Underground - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
Candy says I've come to hate my body and all that it requires in this world Candy says I'd like to know completely what others so discretely talk about
Candy says I hate the quiet places that cause the smallest taste of what will be Candy says I hate the big decisions that cause endless revisions in my mind
I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder I'm gonna watch them pass me by Maybe when I'm older What do you think I'd see If I could walk away from me

cause everybody knows (shes a femme fatale) The things she does to please (shes a femme fatale) Shes just a little tease (shes a femme fatale) See the way she walks Hear the way she talks

If you're wonderin' What's all the noise I'm in the backroom With the girls and boys Were' discussing the blues And they don't seem to see The blues is all I play The blues don't bother me

Je bois jusqu'à l'aube les moindres mots D'un oiseau de nuit "Star Radio" Qui m'emmène goûter sur ses ondes F.M.

Oh where, tell me where did your highland laddie dwell? He dwelt in bonnie Scotland where bloom the sweet bluebells And it's oh! in my heart I rue my laddie well

The Blue Velvet Band Composer(s): Hank Snow Performer(s): Hank Snow
If you listen a story I'll tell you Of a girl who once lived in this land A girl who was once my sweetheart She was know as The Blue Velvet Band
On her cheeks was the first flush of nature Her beauty, it seemed to expand Her hair hung down in long tresses Tied back with a blue velvet band
I can still see those tears as we parted Of my heart broken Blue Velvet Band As I left I told her I'd never Come back to my old home again
Five years on the wide open spaces Was all that my poor heart could stand every night as I lay on my pillow I would dream of my Blue Velvet Band
Then one night as I lay down dreaming Of home and poor mother and dad Like a flash by my bedside was standing The form of my Blue Velvet Band
I started next day for my darling Just to go back and make her my bride But as I reached the old country depot They told my my sweet heart has died
They laid her to rest in the churchyard Midst the sweet summer flowers of the land On her finger the ring I had bought her On her head was a blue velvet band

Femme Comme vous moi je suis femme Pour des riens mon cur s'enflamme Quand je suis amoureuse Je deviens femme heureuse Prête à toutes les folies Tout quitter en pleine nuit Pour aller suivre à tout prix Ma chance
Femme Comme vous moi je suis femme Mélodie ou mélodrame Quelquefois indocile mais souvent femme fragile Si parfois mon cur s'ennuie Entre ses bras je revis Alors simplement je suis Sa femme à lui
Avec lui je suis femme, femme
Femme Comme vous moi je suis femme Pour des riens mon cur s'enflamme Quand je suis amoureuse Je deviens femme heureuse Si parfois mon cur s'ennuie Entre ses bras je revis Alors simplement je suis Sa femme
Femme Comme vous moi je suis femme Même joie et même larme Faire semblant de partir Pour mieux le retenir Et tant pis si ça fait mal Tout cela m'est bien égal Je deviens sentimentale Et femme, sa femme à lui
The Blue Danube Composer(s): Johann Strauss II - Sol Meyer - Del Porter - Spike Jones Performer(s): Spike Jones
All the years have come, and the years have gone but the oft told tale is not true for of all the things the Danube is the Danube is not blue The Danube is green what's more it ain't clean It's green as a bean It ain't not serene And though the blueberry looks a little purple And though your maple syrup looks a little murple Don't believe what you have heard or you have saw Oh the Danube isn't blue, it's green Oh, the Danube is green as the grass in the spring It's as green as the dollar you spend on a fling It's as green as the paint that you put on the screen Oh the blue of the Danube is greener than green The Danube isn't blue (Am I blue? No!) The Danube has another hue (Who? Me? You!) It's time we all came clean, (B.O.) 'Cause the Danube isn't blue, it's green

My old lady she's so sweet and fine I can't help wanting her kisses all the time I run to meet her like a kid with a dollar To the corner candy store It's what I'm livin' for But I want mooore...than your candy kisses
She starts movin' I say "Honey please" ("I don't want your kisses") I ain't foolin', you know it isn't right to tease ("I don't need your kisses") I tell her "Sugar you're a true fine lover" "You're as sweet as cherry pie" But no matter how I try I can't get high On your candy kisses
I don't want our love to stop ("Don't stop it") If it should stop ("Don't stop it") My heart would break If the sun should get to hot ("Don't stop it") It's gonna melt away the icing on our cake
Candy kisses knock me off my feet ("I don't want your kisses") Fill me up but leave me feelin' incomplete ("I don't need your kisses") Fancy wrappin's and well-made trappin's Will lead me to your door What I'm hungry for Is so much mooore...than your candy kisses
Candy kisses knock me off my feet Fill me up but leave me incomplete Since your wrappin's lead me to your door It's not the only kind of love that I'm lookin' for Candy kisses ain't enough for me Got to have all your lovin' if you're gonna stay with me
("Candy kisses, keep your candy kisses")
Candy, candy, candy kisses ain't enough for me Got to have all your love if you're gonna stay with me
("Candy kisses, keep your candy kisses")
Candy, candy, candy kisses ain't enough for me Got to have all your love if you're gonna stay with me
("Candy kisses, keep your candy kisses")
Candy, candy, candy kisses ain't enough for me Got to have all your love if you're gonna stay with me ...
Para quem bem viveu o amor Duas vidas que abrem Não acabam com a luz São pequenas estrelas Que correm no céu Trajetórias opostas Sem jamais deixar de se olhar
É um carinho guardado no cofre De um coração que voou É um afeto deixado nas veias De um coração que ficou É a certeza da eterna presença Da vida que foi Na vida que vai É a saudade da boa Feliz cantar
Que foi foi foi Foi bom e pra sempre será Mais mais mais Maravilhosamente amar
The Bloke Who Invented Beer Performer(s): Rolf Harris
Okay you lot, all right, all right, you fellahs, now you're all drinking up and havin' a good time How about a round of applause for the gent who made all this possible... ... The bloke who invented beer Are you gonna join me in a musical tribute to this noble benefactor? (Too right!)
How about a cheer for the bloke who invented beer He gave this tired old world a spark They should have his statue in ev'ry park Life was so drear till this genius thought up beer So, charge your glasses, drink a cheer To the bloke who invented beer
Yes, us fellahs know that the invention of beer was the greatest thing that ever happened to mankind Ahead of electricity and airplanes and all that other stuff But did the bloke who invented beer get the credit and recognition he deserves... No! No, he don't But we don't forget him Just look at our pub motto Caesar was great and so was Nero, but the bloke who invented beer's a hero! So c'mon, loosen up your tonsils and let's give it another burst Are you ready? Well, let's go then...
Oh, how about a cheer for the bloke who invented beer We'd all be shakin' and quakin' flops If we couldn't gargle our throats with hops He was the first to defeat the old demon thirst So, charge your glasses, drink a cheer To the bloke who invented beer
How about a cheer for the bloke who invented beer Though not one hist'ry book gives his name We say he will stay in the hall of fame Man's joys were few, till our hero brought out his brew So, charge your glasses, drink a cheer To the bloke who invented beer
Yeah, life was so drear till this genius thought up beer So, charge your glasses, drink a cheer To the bloke who invented beer
Yeah, life was so drear till this genius thought up beer So, charge your glasses, drink a cheer To the bloke who invented beer...
