Shine little glow-worm, glimmer, glimmer Shine little glow-worm, glimmer, glimmer Lead us lest too far we wander Love's sweet voice is calling yonder Shine little glow-worm, glimmer, glimmer Hey, there don't get dimmer, dimmer Light the path below, above And lead us on to love!
Glow little glow-worm, fly of fire Glow like an incandescent wire Glow for the female of the species Turn on the AC and the DC This night could use a little brightnin' Light up you little ol' bug of lightnin' When you gotta glow, you gotta glow Glow little glow-worm, glow
Glow little glow-worm, glow and glimmer Swim through the sea of night, little swimmer Thou aeronautical boll weevil Illuminate yon woods primeval See how the shadows deep and darken You and your chick should get to sparkin' I got a gal that I love so Glow little glow-worm, glow
Glow little glow-worm, turn the key on You are equipped with taillight neon You got a cute vest-pocket *Mazda* Which you can make both slow and *fazda* I don't know who you took a shine to Or who you're out to make a sign to I got a gal that I love so Glow little glow-worm, glow Glow little glow-worm, glow Glow little glow-worm, glow Glow little glow-worm, glow!!
Celui Qui Ne Savait Pas Pleurer
Composer(s): Henri Contet - Jean-Claude Normant
Performer(s): Edith Piaf
C'est l'histoire d'un type moyen Qui n'avait jamais pu pleurer Il en avait pas les moyens Pourtant, il aurait bien aimé Car de pleurer, ça vous soulage Et ça vous met du baume dans l'cur Mais lui, il avait passé l'âge D'apprendre le chagrin par cur Il essayait de se concentrer Pour s'émouvoir à l'improviste Mais non : il savait pas pleurer Et c'est ça qui le rendait triste Pour se payer ce petit instant Où l'on est vraiment malheureux Y s'fabriquait des embêtements Inventait des ennuis sérieux Et pour ça, il savait s'y prendre À en juger par son passé Il avait même tenté de se pendre Preuve qu'il aimait pas rigoler Quand s'présentait un beau malheur Tout de suite il lui faisait du charme Mais il avait beau s'crever l'cur Il pouvait pas trouver une larme Ça lui a passé subitement Rencontrant près d'une fontaine Où se débarbouillait l'printemps Une gosse qui avait de la peine Dans son petit tablier de toile Elle pleurait comme une enfant Il a vu ses yeux pleins d'étoiles Alors il en a fait autant Un type comme ça, c'est pas commun Car il était pas comme nous autres Puisque, pour qu'il ait du chagrin Il lui fallait l'chagrin des autres La gosse était toute seule au monde Tout' seule le jour, tout' seule la nuit Et puis surtout, elle était blonde Alors il l'a prise avec lui Il est content puisque c'est elle Qui lui a appris à pleurer Mais la leçon était trop belle La fille aussi... tout a raté Il est devenu bien malheureux Trompé plus qu'il ne le mérite Et tous les jours, il pleure un peu Maintenant qu'il sait, il en profite
Forever Faithful Composer(s): Robert Bateman; J. Wicker Performer(s): Florence Ballard
Memories of the love we had are still a part of me I pushed your love away and knew that one day I would yearn for your return
Chorus: Forever Faithful, yes I am I guess my love will live for you Just wishin' and hopin' for your return
Now I'm all alone, it hurts to be alone Won't you please come see about me? This time I'll do right, need you to hold me tight Darling, you, you control my destiny Oh oh oh
(chorus)
On and on, deep down inside, I have no one but myself to blame I have but one wish, that you return, conquer the love that remains Oh oh oh
Forever Came Today Composer(s): Brian Holland; Lamont Dozier; Edward Holland Jr. Performer(s): Diana Ross & The Supremes; and various other artists
There you were Standing there As your eyes reached out to me Something warm in your eyes Touched my heart right then and there All the love I never knew I found in you
Suddenly My world stood still My life was then fulfilled As you gently touched my hand I knew that we had laid a plan For everlasting love That I been forever dreaming of
At last Ooh, at last My forever came today (My forever came today) When you walked into my life (When you walked into my life) And made my lonely life A paradise (A paradise) It came today Forever came today
As we were standing there You didn't speak a single word But your eyes Your eyes said you wanted me Your touch said you needed me And my heart said tenderly
Darling Ooh, my darling Make me yours Let your kiss touch my face And tell me love has led me To this place to your warm embrace Hello happiness
Thanks to you my search has ended And I want the world to see How gently love has shined on me With everlasting love That I been forever dreaming of
At last Ooh, at last My forever came today (My forever came today) When you walked into my life (When you walked into my life) And made my lonely life A paradise (A paradise) It came today Forever came today
At last Ooh, at last My forever came today (My forever came today) When you walked into my life (When you walked into my life) And made my lonely life A paradise (A paradise) Oh, it came today Forever came today
At last Ooh, at last My forever came today (My forever came today) When you walked into my life..
Glass Bottom Boat Composer(s): Ben Raleigh - Joe Lubin - Mark Barkan Performer(s): Doris Day
All aboard, all aboard On the glass bottom boat It's the greatest show that was ever afloat Take a ride on the tide with the guide and see The way out wonders of the deep blue sea
The deep blue sea, the deep blue sea There's a lot to see, in the deep blue sea The sailfish sail and the blowfish blow Cockles & mussels alive-alive-o
The hermit crab, he lives alone You can't even get him on the telephone The halibut's eyes turn up and in He don't know where he's going, but he knows where he's been
The deep blue sea, the deep blue sea There's a lot to see in the deep blue sea The glass bottom boat, you will agree Can show you the magic of the deep blue sea
Spiney crabs and white fish too Will all be there, what a hullabaloo With so many fish upon the sea There's hardly room for a fat sardine
The deep blue sea, the deap blue sea There's a lot goin' on in the deep blue sea Oh life on the glass bottom boat is great (I'm the captain) You could use a mate
(Now the girl is slow, but not so dumb He has his own condominium) A bluebird oyster was caught with "foyle" He "swoyre" he didn't even know the "goyle"
The deep blue sea, the deep blue sea There's a lot to see in the deep blue sea The glass bottom boat, you will agree Can show you the magic of the deep blue sea
The flyin' fish was an awful ham Made a three-point landing in a fryin' pan The porpoise has the most hutzpah But the whales are ones with the built-in showers Starfish, starfish, two-pence all Abelone in the casserole Winding, binding, joining up Is growing, growing, growing up Ahhh...
All aboard, all aboard On the glass bottom boat It's the greatest show that was ever afloat Take a ride on the tide with the guide and see The way out wonders of the deep blue sea
All aboard, all aboard On the glass bottom boat It's the greatest show that was ever afloat Take a ride on the tide with the guide and see The way out wonders of the deep blue sea
Celui Qui A Mal Tourné
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
First release by: Georges Brassens - 1956
Covered by multiple other artists
Il y avait des temps et des temps Qu'je n'm'étais pas servi d'mes dents Qu'je n'mettais pas d'vin dans mon eau Ni de charbon dans mon fourneau Tous les croqu'-morts, silencieux Me dévoraient déjà des yeux Ma dernière heure allait sonner C'est alors que j'ai mal tourné
N'y allant pas par quatre chemins J'estourbis en un tournemain En un coup de bûche excessif Un noctambule en or massif Les chats fourrés, quand ils l'ont su M'ont posé la patte dessus Pour m'envoyer à la Santé Me refaire une honnêteté
Machin, Chose, Un tel, Une telle Tous ceux du commun des mortels Furent d'avis que j'aurais dû En bonn' justice être pendu A la lanterne et sur-le-champ Y s'voyaient déjà partageant Ma corde, en tout bien tout honneur En guise de porte-bonheur
Au bout d'un siècle, on m'a jeté A la porte de la Santé Comme je suis sentimental Je retourne au quartier natal Baissant le nez, rasant les murs Mal à l'aise sur mes fémurs M'attendant à voir les humains Se détourner de mon chemin
Y'en a un qui m'a dit: "Salut! Te revoir, on n'y comptait plus" Y'en a un qui m'a demandé Des nouvelles de ma santé Lors, j'ai vu qu'il restait encor Du monde et du beau mond' sur terre Et j'ai pleuré, le cul par terre Toutes les larmes de mon corps
Forever By Your Side Composer(s): M. Blatte; L. Gottlieb Performer(s): The Manhattans; Richie Stephens
Friends, we started out as friends Friends turned into lovers Do you remember when
I held you For the very first time Love me it is so easy girl For me to speak my mind I've said
I want you I need you Oh girl how I believe in you You're the light that has always seen me through
In you I could find That I will be Forever by your side
Now we see our love has grown And these have been the sweetest times That I have ever known And I know that it will never end
'Cause every time I look at you I fall in love again
I want you (want you) I need you (need you)
Oh girl how I believe in you (you're the light) You're the light (that shines) That has always seen me through In you I could find That I will be Forever by your side
Longer than the sun will shine Love is a tie that binds, forever, forever Two hearts are meant to be one love eternally
Together (together), forever, forever I want you I need you Oh girl how I believe in you You're the light that has always seen me through
In you I could find That I will be Forever by your side
The Glamorous Life Composer(s): Jamie Starr Performer(s): Sheila E. and multiple other artists
She wears a long fur coat of mink Even in the summer time Everybody knows from the coy little wink The girl's got a lot on her mind
She's got big thoughts, big dreams And a big brown Mercedes sedan What I think this girl She really wants is to be in love with a man
She wants to lead the Glamorous Life She don't need a man's touch She wants to lead the Glamorous Life But without love it ain't much
She saw him standing in the section marked If you have to ask you can't afford it lingerie She threw him bread and said make me scream In the dark what could he say
Boys with small talk and small minds Really don't impress me in bed She said I need a man's man baby Diamonds and furs Love would only conquer my head
She wants to lead the Glamorous Life She don't need a man's touch She wants to lead the Glamorous Life But without love it ain't much
They made haste in the brown sedan They drove to 55 Secret street They made love and by the seventh wave She knew she had a problem She thought real love is real scary Money only pays the rent Love is forever that's all your life Love is heaven sent it's glamorous
She wants to lead the Glamorous Life She don't need a man's touch She wants to lead the Glamorous Life But without love it ain't much

Composer(s): Manos Hadjidakis - Nikos Gatsos - Frank Gérald
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri
À celui que j'aime Et je l'aimerai toute ma vie
On ne garde pas l'amour Comme on garde le chant de la mer Dans le creux d'un coquillage Et l'on pleure son amour Comme on pleure au levant de l'hiver Quand la barque fait naufrage
Mais il m'a gardée auprès de lui Celui que j'aime Car il m'a donné plus que la mer Celui que j'aime Car il m'a donné plus que le ciel Celui que j'aime Et je l'aimerai toute ma vie
Oui il m'a gardé auprès de lui Celui que j'aime Car il m'a donné plus que la mer Celui que j'aime Car il m'a donné plus que le ciel Celui que j'aime Et je l'aimerai toute ma vie

The Girls From Texas Composer(s): James Lewis - Jimmy Holiday - Cliff Chambers First release by: Ry Cooder - 1980 Covered by multiple other artists
Well, I met a girl from Texas 'bout a year ago Hadn't known her for too long when I had to let her go You see, she had a razor, was ten inches or so And every night you'd hear her knocking at my door She said, "Baby, I'll give you the clothes on my back You can have everything that I've got in my shack But if you ever try to leave they'll take you out in sack 'Cause me and my razor will see to that"
That's the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are from Texas
I thought about my situation, decided not to tarry For my own self preservation I decided we should marry When the preacher started reading 'bout 'till death do us part I told him, "Skip it, we had that understanding right from the start"
That's the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are from Texas (Houston to San Antone) That's the way the girls are from Texas (Got to love 'em right or leave 'em alone)
Well, we settled down, got me a little old job, '65 Fairlane Ford Every Friday night I would stop in and cash my pay check down at the grocery store They had a little girl worked in there, must have been about seventeen She was the cutest thing I had ever seen It's the same old story and I'm afraid it wasn't too very long Before we had fallen deeply in love and I knew it was wrong I said baby, we got to stop this thing right here Or my woman is gonna cut my throat from ear to ear, that's right In tearful supplication, she looked up in my face I could feel her heart was breaking as these sad words she did say "You should have told me you was married, baby She pulled out a forty-five and let me have it, right smack between the eyes
That's the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are from Texas
She was guilty, I was dead Now, what'd you think that the old judge said? "Ah, that's just the way the girls are down here in Texas Case dismissed!"
That's the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are from Texas (Houston to San Antone) That's the way the girls are from Texas (Got to love 'em right or leave 'em alone, boy)
Celui que j'aime est un vaurien Qui chante du soir au matin Un artiste Égoïste Qui tient ma vie dans ses mains Celui que j'aime est un garçon Qui a de drôles de façons Un bohème Sans problème Qui jongle avec mes illusions Il va sans but Court les rues Tout le jour Moi le cur lourd Je l'attends En pleurant Mon amour Celui que j'aime est un menteur Il ment des lèvres, il ment du cur Il me blesse Puis me laisse Face à face avec mon cur
Quand je suis seule avec mes craintes Dans ma chambre sous les toits L'ennui s'accroche aux murs qui suintent Jusqu'à son retour dans ses bras
Celui que j'aime est un brigand Il me traite comme une enfant Il me charme Me désarme Et se rit de mes tourments Celui que j'aime est merveilleux Quand l'amour brille dans ses yeux Qu'il m'attire Dans un rire Contre son cur pour m'aimer mieux Moi je faiblis Je rougis Tout à coup Et j'oublie tous Mes malheurs Sur son cur Dans son cou Celui que j'aime est un joueur Il joue mes rêves, il joue mes pleurs Et s'il triche Je m'en fiche Car il est tout mon bonheur
Celui que j'aime est un voyou Qui ne possède pas un sou Mais il m'aime Et je l'aime Et du reste je m'en fous
The Girl's Alright With Me Composer(s): Eddie Holland - Eddie Kendricks - Norman Whitfield Performer(s): The Temptations; Derrick Harriott; The Spinners
This little girl of mine I wanna say she's so fine And each and every day I make sure she has her way
Now, we don't feel tied down Although our hearts are bound I don't have to chase her all over town My baby she's always around
The girl's alright with me You know the girl's alright Listen, the girl's alright with me You know the girl's alright
Now she's so good to me I guess that's why I feel fancy free Just to see the glow in her eyes Makes me once again realize
I love her with all my heart And I know we'll never, never part I never heard her about or caught her playing I guess that's why you always hear me saying...
The girl's alright with me You know the girl's alright, hmm... The girl's alright with me You know the girl's alright
When I visit at her home Other fellas never, never ring her phone She lets them know just where they stand She tells them all that I'm her man
And when we're out on a date Other fellas wait till I walk away They try to beat my time She tells them in a nice way, she's mine, all mine
The girl's alright with me You know the girl's alright And I trust her with my heart now (The Girl's alright with me) Everyday now (You know the girl's alright) You know, you know that the (girl's alright with me) In everyway now (You know the girl's alright)
