Les Allemands étaient chez moi
On m'a dit "Résigne-toi"
Mais je n'ai pas pu
Et j'ai repris mon arme

Personne ne m'a demandé
D'où je viens et où je vais
Vous qui le savez
Effacez mon passage

J'ai changé cent fois de nom
J'ai perdu femme et enfants
Mais j'ai tant d'amis
Et j'ai la France entière

Un vieil homme dans un grenier
Pour la nuit nous a cachés
Les Allemands l'ont pris
Il est mort sans surprise

Hier encore, nous étions trois
Il ne reste plus que moi
Et je tourne en rond
Dans la prison des frontières

Le vent souffle sur les tombes
La liberté reviendra
On nous oubliera
Nous rentrerons dans l'ombre

En ze kwamen hier in zwermen
Ik, gemaand tot overgave, ik gaf mezelf niet aan
Ik greep mijn wapen en verdween
Vaak ben ik van naam veranderd
Vrouw en kind heb ik verloren
Vrienden heb ik veel, en sommige zijn bij me
Een oude vrouw bood ons bescherming
Ze verborg ons op haar zolder
Toen kwamen zij eraan
Zonder een woord is ze gestorven
Nog drie van ons vanmorgen
Nu, vanavond, ik alleen, en ik moet door
Gevangen tussen grenzen
De wind huilt kil over de velden
Graven huiveren in stormen, maar de vrijheid komt
En dan komen wij tevoorschijn

Les allemands étaient chez moi
Ils me dirent résigne-toi
Mais, je n’ai pas peur
J’ai perdu femme et enfants
Mais j’ai tant d’amis
J’ai la France entière
Un vieil homme dans un grenier
Pour la nuit a caché
Les Allemands l’ont pris
Il est mort sans surprise

Oh, de wind huilt kil over de velden
Graven huiveren in stormen, maar de vrijheid komt
En dan komen we te voorschijn 

The Parson Of Puddle
Composer(s): Greatrex 'Rex' Newman
Performer(s): Stanley Holloway



In the sweet little, neat little
Only one street little 
Parish of Puddle 
O’er which I preside
There dwells a young lady 
whose name is O’Grady 
prefixed by the Christian names Caroline Sady 
And rumour has stated
The facts circulated
That she is as thin as a lath 
And I’m bound to admit 
That she is every bit
For I saw her today in her bath... 
chair and noticed the fact plain to see 
O lack a day, O lack a day, O lack a day me

In the high little
Spry little, feel rather dry little 
Parish of Puddle 
O’er which I preside
We had a school outing 
With races and shouting
For little girl guides and little boys scouting 
And when all the teachers 
Were cooling their features 
With something that fizzed in a glass 
One said “Don’t you think 
You’d like something to drink” 
I said “Yes, I should like a small Bass... -ket of strawberries 
With cream and some tea

In the bright little
Tight little, stay out all night little 
Parish of Puddle 
O’er which I preside
It fell to my duty
To wed a stage beauty
To one of the Air Forces second leftooty
In every relation
Showed great jubilation
When just as a twelve month had run
One fine Wednesday night 
With the greatest delight
She presented her spouse with a son...
Day school hymn book
That cost One and three

In the blank little, swank little, two pubs and bank little
Parish of Puddle 
o'er which I preside 
A spinster named Mary 
Once opened a dairy 
And as new laid eggs, seemed to be necessary
She purchased some hens 
In most beautiful pens
But when egg collecting she went
She found with dismay 
That those birds could not lay 
For each of those fowls was a gentle... 
and shy little rooster you see
O lack a day, O lack a day, O lack a day me

The Parade Of The Wooden Soldiers
Composer(s): Leon Jessel - Ballard MacDonald
Performer(s): Shirley Temple



The toy shop door is locked up tight
And ev'rything is quiet for the night
When suddenly the clock strikes twelve
The fun's begun
The dolls are in their best array
There's going to be a wonderful parade
" Hark to the drum, oh, here they come"
Cries ev'ryone
Hear them all cheering
Now they are nearing
There's the captain stiff as starch
Bayonets flashing
Music is crashing
As the wooden soldiers march
Sabers a-clinking
Soldiers a-winking
At each pretty little maid
Here they come!
Here they come!
Here they come!
Here they come!
Wooden soldiers on parade

Ding, Dong, Ding
Composer(s): Robert Hargreaves - Stanley Damerell - Evans
Performer(s): Billy Cotton & His Band



A new version of the bells
Yes, but not by Henry Irving

Now listen laddie, I have a story

Now we’ve been entreated to sing like the birds
That tweet in the valleys and dells
Ah! But let’s improve that, or in other words
Let’s all try and sing like the bells

Ding, dong, ding
Chime in the chorus and sing, sing, sing
Ding, dong, ding
Clear as a bell let it ring, ring, ring
Let all us musical people
Sing like the bells in the steeple
Ding, dong, ding
Simply chime in the chorus and sing, sing, sing

The bells
Yes, here comes the bride 
Sweet thing
Yers! And here comes her mother
Dear old soul
Ooh! And here come the bridegroom
Poor blighter

Hey, Abe, do you think that’s our fire they go to?
Shut your face, you fool
Our fire ain’t till Tuesday

Hello, hello, darling wifey, I won’t be home till late this evening, spending an evening with a sick friend

Alright, dear, don’t keep her out too late

Let all us musical people
Sing like the bells in the steeple
Ding, dong, ding
Simply chime in the chorus and sing, sing, sing

The Parachute Jump
Composer(s): Jerry Livingston - Mack David
Performer(s): Dean Martin



The parachute jump
The parachute jump
It's thrilling to do a dance that's new
The parachute jump

When the music begins to ride
Then you begin to glide
Bouncing from side to side
The parachute jump

You leap into space
Smile on your face
What'd you know, down there below
The world is in place

Hold it steady so you won't slip
Attaboy, let 'er rip
Then you begin to dip
The parachute jump

You dance and while you dance
Angels are singing songs from high in the blue
You dance, so high a dance
Suddenly Heaven's doors are open to you

You sway and as you sway
All of your dreams, it seems, are comin' true
You whirl into a spin, loving the spin you're in
When you do, do, do
The parachute jump
The parachute jump
You drop and you drop
And pop, you stop and land with a bump

If you really would like to fly
Feel like a bird on high
Take my advice and try
The parachute jump
The parachute jump
(The parachute jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump)
(Jump, Jump!)

Dean Marin & Chorus:
The parachute jump
The parachute jump
You wanta fly like a bird in the sky
Then you'd better try
The parachute jump

The Pale Faced Indian
((French Version: L'amie Des Esprits (Martin Circus) - 1975))
Composer(s): John D. Loudermilk
First release by: Marvin Rainwater - 1960
Covered by multiple other artists



They took away the whole Cherokee nation
And put us on this reservation

They took away our way of life
Our tomahawk and huntin' knife
And the old teepee we all loved so
They're using now just for a show
They put our papoose in a crib
and took the buck skin from our rib
And they took away our native tongue
and taught their English to our young

Hiya, hiya, ho! Hiya hi, hiya ho!
Hiya, hiya, Hiya ho!

Altho' they changed our ways of old
They'll never change our heart and soul
And tho' I wear a white man's tie
I'll be a red man till I die

All the beads we made by hand
are nowadays made in Japan

The Painless Dentist Song
((Adapted from: The Continental (Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers))
Composer(s): Con Conrad - Herbert Magidson
Performer(s): Allan Sherman



Beautiful molars...
Lovely bicuspids...
I'm Dr. Prentice, the painless dentist
By that what's meant is
It really doesn't hurt
This is Miss Klinger; you've met her finger
So open wide, and Miss Klinger will squirt
Well, well, I say there
We've got decay there
Can't let it stay there and cause you all that pain
So please Miss Klinger, remove your finger
And won't you hand me down my Novocaine
It's far worse than I thought it was
My charge is gonna be large
Don't be unwilling
It's just a filling
I'm simply drilling to dig a little pit
Don't fight Miss Klinger, or bite her finger
And now while I change the drill you can spit
I hum while you're bleeding
It takes your mind off
The things I grind off
Your gums are receding
You'll have to come back
We'll build that gum back
And now if you will open wide
Miss Klinger's gonna put her whole darn fist inside
That's it... now it's over
They'll be a puffiness around your cheeks
You'll have to eat soft food for three more weeks
And if you'll kindly stop those ghastly shrieks
I'm through
Beautiful molars...
Lovely bicuspids...
By Dr. Prentice!

The Owl And The Pussycat
Composer(s): Edward Lear - Elton Hayes
Performer(s): Elton Hayes



The owl and the pussycat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat
They took some honey and plenty of money
Wrapped up in a five pound note

The owl looked up to the stars above
And sang to a small guitar
"Oh, lovely pussy, oh pussy my love
What a beautiful pussy you are, you are, you are
What a beautiful pussy you are"

Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl
How charmingly sweet you sing!
Oh! let us be married, too long we have tarried
But what shall we do for a ring?"

They sailed away, for a year and a day
To the land where the Bong Tree grows
And there in a wood, a piggy-wig stood
With a ring at the end of his nose, his nose, his nose
A ring at the end of his nose 

Said the owl, "Are you willing to sell for one shilling, your ring?"
Said the piggy, "I will"
So they took it away and were married next day
By the turkey who lived on the hill

They dined on quince— and slices of mince
Served up with a runcible spoon
And hand in hand, by the edge of the sand
They danced by the light of the moon, the moon, the moon
They danced by the light of the moon

We Are The Ovaltineys
Composer(s): Harry Hemsley



We are the Ovaltineys, little girls and boys
Make your requests, we'll not refuse you
We are here just to amuse you
Would you like a song or story?
Will you share our joys?
At games and sports we're more than keen
No merrier children could be seen
Because we all drink Ovaltine
We're happy girls and boys

The Outlaw's Prayer
Composer(s): Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton
Performer(s): Johnny Paycheck



You know, I worked the Big Packet show in Fort Worth, Saturday night
We had all day Sunday to rest and relax, before I caught another flight
So I decided to walk down town an' get myself a little fresh air
Before long, I found myself in front of a big church on the corner of the square

Boy, I could hear that singin' way out in the street, sure was a beautiful sound
So I just walked up the steps an' opened the door an' started to go inside an' sit down
But before I could, a young man walked over to me an said: "Excuse me, Sir
"But I can't let you in with that big black hat, those jeans, that beard an' long hair

So I just left, went back outside, sat down on that kerbing, an I thought to myself
That's the house of the Lord. That guy's got the hell of a nerve
Tellin' me I can't worship anywhere I please
So right there, in front of that Church, I just knelt down on my knees

I said: "Lord, I know I don't look like much, but I didn't think you'd mind
"I just wanted to be with your people, Lord: it's been a long time
"A while ago, a saw a wino over there in the alley, all bent over in tears
"An' I thought how one stained glass window, from this Church, would feed his family for years"

"Then there's those fine cars parked outside: too many for me to count
"Made me think how people walked for days to hear your sermon on the mount
"Then there's those fine ladies in the choir, Lord, singin' like they really love it
"Hell, last night, they were dancin' on the front row of my show: drinkin' beer, screamin: 'Sing Shove It'

"You know, even John the Baptist wouldn't be welcome in this place
"With his coat made of Camel hair an' sandals on his feet an' a long beard on his face
"You know, Lord, when you come back to get your children, an' take 'em beyond the clouds
"To live forever in Heaven with you: well, I'd sure hate to be in this crowd

"You know, Lord, I'm not perfect; some even call me no count
"But I'll tell you: I believe a man is judged by what's in his heart, not what's in his bank account
"So if this is what religion is: a big car, a suit an' a tie
"Then I might as well forget it Lord, 'cause I can't qualify

"Oh, by the way, Lord, right before they kicked me out, didn't I see a picture of you?
"With sandals an' a beard. Believe you had long hair too"
"Well, this is Paycheck, signing off
"I'll be seein' you Lord, I hope"

The Other Woman, The Other Man
Composer(s): Gerard Kenny - Drey Shepperd - Barry Mason
Performer(s): Gerard Kenny



Oh what a tangled web we weave 
When we practise to deceive
We play our games and tell our lies 
And synchronise our alibis 

They say forbidden fruit tastes sweeter
It's precious and so rare
It's heaven when you taste it 
And it's hell when it's not there
I don't see you when I want to 
You only see me when you can
'Cause you're the other woman 
And I'm the other man

May be wrong, but it feels so right 
Lying here in the candle light
A secret place for you and me 
And nowhere else we'd rather be

They say forbidden fruit tastes sweeter  
It's precious and so rare
It's heaven when you taste it
And it's hell when it's not there 
I don't see you when I want to 
You only see me when you can
'Cause you're the other woman 
And I'm the other man

It's paradise but we pay the price 
'Cause ecstasy doesn't come free
I don't see you when I want to 
And you only see me when you can 
'Cause you're the other woman 
And I'm the other...

Oh what a tangled web we weave 
When we practise to deceive

Het Krieken Van De Dag
((Adapted from: Dimming Of The Day (Richard and Linda Thompson - 1975))
Composer(s): Richard Thompson - Gerry De Mol
Performer(s): Eva De Roovere & Gerry De Mol - 2004



Dit oude huis valt zowat in en alles slaapt
Een wereldoorlog in mijn hoofd en maag
Als alles om me heen valt, hou me vast
Was je hier maar, bij het krieken van de dag

Je hoort bij mij als de maan en het getij
Kom bij mij, stop me in en blijf

Wat blijft er van ons over, elk apart?
Elk een kater, elk een gebroken hart
Ik stuur alle vervangers weg vannacht
Als je hier bent bij het krieken van de dag

Valt de nacht, vlij je aan mijn zij
Valt de nacht, blijf je dan bij mij?

En zie ik je op straat en loop je door
Waarom kijk je niet om en ga je voort?
Het donker duurt vannacht maar half zo lang
Als je hier bent bij het krieken van de dag

The Other Side Of This Life
Composer(s): Fred Neil
First release by: Fred Neil - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



Would you like to know a secret just between you and me
I don't know where I'm going next, I don't know who I'm gonna be
But that's the other side of this life I've been leading
That's the other side of this life

Well my whole world's in an uproar, my whole world's upside down
I don"t know where I'm going next, but I'm always bumming around
And that's another side to this life I've been leading
And that's another side to this life

Well I don't know what doing for half the time, I don't know where I'm going
I think I'll get me a sailing boat and sail the Gulf of Mexico
But that's another side of this life I've been leading
And that's another side of this life

Well I think I'll go to Nashville down in Tennesse
The ten cent life I've been leading here gonna be the death of me
But that's the other side of this life I've been leading
And that's another side to this life

Would you like to know a secret just between you and me
I don't know where I'm going next, I don't know who I'm gonna be
But that's the other side of this life I've been leading
But that's the other side of this life

The Other Side Of The World
Performer(s): Chaka Khan



A penny has two faces
When one of them you have to choose
Between the two places
One must win and one must lose

You say you have a sense of freedom
Whenever you're away from here
Put your hand on your heart and tell me
That you never shed a tear

Aw, what you doing babe
On the other side of the world
With all those fancy girls
Never believe their hearts are stone
They may warm your bed when you're alone
But I can warm your heart and soul
On the other side of the world

Life is only snakes and ladders
Sometimes up and sometimes down
It doesn't really matter baby
When you got love around

Aw, but you won't find that lovin', no
On the other side of the world
With all those crazy girls
Never believe their hearts are stone
They may warm your bed when you're alone
But I can warm your heart and soul
On the other side of the world

I'll be waitin' for you
Never believe their hearts are stone
They may warm your bed when you're alone
But I can warm your heart and soul
On the other side of the world
On the other side of the world
On the other side of the world
On the other side of the world
On the other side of the world
On the other side of the world

The Other Side Of The Cross
Performer(s): The Statler Brothers



There were tears in the eyes of Jesus
There were nails in the palms of His hands
There were thorns in His brow
And only God could know how
Much pain He could withstand

There was blood all around the hillside
As a Mother mourned her loss
But we all stood to gain
From the Heavenly pain
On other side of the Cross

On the other side of the Cross
The side that no one could see
Hung the spirit of things yet to come
On the future of you and me

And what he gave that day on the Cross
Not one bit of love has been lost
Hold my hand stand up and say
If you were there on that day 
On the other side of the cross

On the other side of the cross
The side that no one can see
Hung the spirit of things yet to come
On the future of you and me

And what he gave that day on the Cross
Not one bit of love has been lost
Hold my hand stand up and say
If you were there on that day 
On the other side of the cross

Hold my hand stand up and say
If you were there on that day 
On the other side of the cross

Other Man's Grass Is Always Greener 
Composer(s): Tony Hatch - Jackie Trent
Performer(s): Petula Clark
and multiple other artists



Life is never what it seems
We're always searching in our dreams
To find that little castle in the air
When worry starts to cloud the mind
It's hard to leave it all behind
And just pretend you haven't got a care

There's someone else in your imagination
You wish that you were standing in their shoes
You'd change your life without much hesitation
But would you if you really had to choose?

So, don't look around
Get your feet on the ground
It's much better by far
To be just who you are

The other man's grass is always greener
The sun shines brighter on the other side
The other man's grass is always greener
Some are lucky, some are not
But just be thankful for what you've got

Many times, it seems to me
There's someone else I'd rather be
Living in a world of make-believe
To stay in bed 'til nearly three
With nothing there to worry me
Would seem to be the life I might achieve

But deep inside, I know I'm really lucky
With happiness I've never known before
And just as long as you are there beside me
I know that I could ask for nothing more

Then living can start
With the love in your heart
So, with you all the time
All the treasures I've longed for are mine

The other man's grass is always greener
The sun shines brighter on the other side
The other man's grass is always greener
Some are lucky, some are not
But I'm so thankful for what I've got
(repeat)

The Other Guy
Composer(s): Graham Goble
Performer(s): Little River Band



I found out that you care for another guy
I found out that you want for another smile
We are alone as two different people can be
And it's hurting me so
Just to know that you don't care for me

The other guy won't be around to talk to our kids
He won't understand when you're down the way that I did
We had it all, you and I, we just need to try again

I found out that your heart's with another guy
You found out that you're tellin' another lie
We've grown apart and goin' our own separate ways
And you don't understand
Why I love you and want you to stay

The other guy won't be around to talk to our kids
He won't understand when you're down the way that I did
We had it all, you and I, we just need to try again

You don't know it's me that you need
You're thinking of him and I can't compete
But I'm here to say I still want you back again

The other guy won't be around to talk to our kids
He won't understand when you're down the way that I did
We had it all, you and I, we just need to try again

The other guy won't be around to talk to our kids
He won't understand when you're down the way that I did
We had it all, you and I, we just need to try again

The other guy won't be around to talk to our kids
He won't understand when you're down the way that I did
We had it all, you and I, we just need to try again

The Ostrich
Composer(s): John Kay
Performer(s): Steppenwolf



We'll call you when you're six years old
And drag you to the factory
To train your brain for eighteen years
With promise of security
But then you're free
And forty years you waste to chase the dollar sign
So you may die in Florida
At the pleasant age of sixty nine

The water's getting hard to drink
We've mangled up the country side
The air will choke you when you breathe
We're all committing suicide
But it's alright
It's progress folks keep pushin' till your body rots
Will strip the earth of all it's green
And then divide her into parking lots

But there's nothing you and I can do
You and I are only two
What's right and wrong is hard to say
Forget about it for today
We'll stick our heads into the sand
Just pretend that all is grand
Then hope that everything turns out ok

You're free to speak your mind my friend
As long as you agree with me
Don't criticize the father land
Or those who shape your destiny
'Cause if you do
You'll lose your job your mind and all the friends you knew
We'll send out all our boys in blue
They'll find a way to silence you

But there's nothing you and I can do
You and I are only two
What's right and wrong is hard to say
Forget about it for today
We'll stick our heads into the sand
Just pretend that all is grand
Then hope that everything turns out ok
