Pan! V'la La Pluie! ((Adapted from: Down Came The Rain (Mister Murray) - 1965)) ((Italian Version: Una Ragazza In Due (I Giganti) - 1965)) Composer(s): Mitch Murray - Peter Callander - Bernard Michel Performer(s): Henri Salvador - 1966
Cette fille allongée sur la plage blonde Sortait d'un rêve ou d'un autre monde Elle me souriait l'air câlin Mais comme j'allais prendre sa main
Pan voilà la pluiiiiie Les coups de tonnerre La foudre et les éclairs Pan voilà la pluiiiiiiie...
Mais deux jours après le soleil brillait Et sur la plage elle a murmuré Je t'aime et je suis toute à toi Mais quand je l'ai prise dans mes bras
Pan voilà la pluiiiiie Les coups de tonnerre La foudre et les éclairs Pan voilà la pluiiiiie...
Au bout de huit jours le soleil brillait Et sur la plage on a décidé D'unir nos destins pour la vie Mais sur le chemin de la mairie
Et pan voilà la pluiiiie... Les coups de tonnerre La foudre et les éclairs Pan voilà la pluiiiiiie
Cowgirl In The Sand Composer(s): Neil Young First release by: Neil Young & Crazy Horse - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists
Hello cowgirl in the sand Is this place at your command Can I stay here for a while Can I see your sweet sweet smile Old enough now to change your name When so many love you is it the same It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game Hello ruby in the dust Has your band begun to rust After all the sin we've had I was hopin' that we'd turn bad Old enough now to change your name When so many love you is it the same It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game
Hello woman of my dreams Is this not the way it seems Purple words on a grey background To be a woman and to be turned down Old enough now to change your name When so many love you is it the same It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game ...
J'ai Rêvé ((English Version: Dream Lover (Bobby Darin) - 1959)) Composer(s): Bobby Darin - G. Aber Performer(s): Dalida
J'ai rêvé cette nuit même que tu me disais je t'aime J'ai besoin d'un amour tendre viens ne me fais plus attendre Oh dis-moi, oui toi, pourquoi, crois-moi Sans amour plus rien ne va et j'ai tant besoin de toi
J'ai rêvé gloire et fortune je voulais t'offrir la lune Je n'ai plus la moindre chance sans ton amour ta présence Oh dis-moi, oui toi, pourquoi, crois-moi Sans amour plus rien ne va et j'ai tant besoin de toi Et dans ma solitude au creux de mon ennui J'ai perdu l'habitude reviens je t'en supplie
Si tu voyais ma détresse sans toi rien ne m'intéresse Les jours et les nuits se traînent reviens-moi j'ai l'âme en peine Oh dis-moi, oui toi, pourquoi, crois-moi Sans amour plus rien ne va et j'ai tant besoin de toi
J'ai rêvé cette nuit même que tu me disais je t'aime Dis-moi ce n'est pas un rêve avant que le jour se lève Oh dis-moi, oui toi, pourquoi, crois-moi Sans amour plus rien ne va et j'ai tant besoin de toi Oh, oh, oh oui, besoin de toi, oh, oh, oh oui besoin de toi Oh mon chéri, besoin de toi

Cowboys to girls I remember when I used to play shoot em up (Shoot em up, bang, bang baby) I remember when I chased the girls and beat em up But I was young and didn't understand But now I'm a grown up man I know girls are made for kissing Never knew what I was missing Now my life is not the same My whole world has been rearranged I went from (cowboys to girls) Oh yes I did (Cowboys to girls)
I remember when I used to see you jumping rope (Jumping rope up and down baby) And I remember when you got your first baby coach But you were young and didn't understand Now you're a woman and I'm a man And it's me that you're kissing Ain't it fun reminiscing Now our lives are not the same Our whole world has been rearranged You went from (Pretty dolls to boys) Oh yes you did And I went from (cowboys to girls) Oh yes I did Still it's me that you're kissing Ain't it fun reminiscing 'Cause our life is not the same This whole world has been rearranged I went for (cowboys to girls) Oh yes I did You went from (pretty dolls to boys)
This Is All I Ask Composer(s): Gordon Jenkins First release by: Nat King Cole - 1958 Covered by multiple other artists
As I approach the prime of my life I find I have the time of my life Learning to enjoy at my leisure All the simple pleasures And so I happily concede That this is all I ask This is all I need
Beautiful girls, walk a little slower when you walk by me Lingering sunsets, stay a little longer with the lonely sea Children everywhere, when you shoot at bad men, shoot at me Take me to that strange, enchanted land grown-ups seldom understand
Wandering rainbows, leave a bit of color for my heart to own Stars in the sky, make my wish come true before the night has flown And let the music play as long as there's a song to sing And I will stay younger than Spring
Cowboys Of The Sea Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen Performer(s): Bruce Springsteen
They ride beneath the waves at 20,000 leagues On stallions stitched to seaweed strands So smiling, so smiling They herd the fishes of the deep They ride for you and me They ranch the rich and the sunken soil At the bottom of the sea
In the dead of night, alive in sleep I hear them calling me Them deep sea desperadoes Them midnight maelstrom freaks The cowboy of the sea
So on wings of sleep I pierce the deep And ride like a hurricane At midnight still I paid my bill And turned my back on the land With the help of Old Paint, that seaweed nag It's just Jesse James and me We ride the depths and rob the banks At the bottom of the sea
With a seaman's grip on navigation And some fired, hired hands We set forth to confront the nation And lend a cowboy's hand
We do the Dolphins' Dance duet My mermaid babe and me Then I ride off into the blue sunset At the bottom of the sea
And with the seaman's grip on submarining And some aqualung outlaws Our guns are made of solid dreamin' And bullets from a broken cause And with hand held high to touch the sky A good Texas Ranger I'll be But sometimes I feel like a lone stranger 'Midst the cowboys of the sea
Oh and men above he cannot make love He's got to rape his mother the sea And because of his greed We're a vanishing breed We cowboys of the sea
J'Ai Retrouvé Le Pont Du Nord Performer(s): Guy Béart
Un soir que le vent soufflait fort après des années d'aventures j'ai voulu r'voir le pont du Nord où Adèle perdit sa ceinture et quelque chose d'autre encore et quelque chose d'autre encore Hélas! fallait lâcher ses ronds pour contempler le paysage Sur les arches de l'ancien pont passait une route à péage avec couloir pour les piétons avec couloir pour les piétons
A la place où le liseron grimpait jadis avec le lierre quand Adèle perdit son fleuron on a construit sur la rivière une sorte de bal en béton une sorte de bal en béton Je me suis dit: "Mon vieux, reprends tes gros souliers Adieu romances! Pour toi, je crois bien qu'il est temps d'aller apprendre d'autres danses loin des ces ponts d'acier-ciment" loin des ces ponts d'acier-ciment A la la ...
Mais voilà qu'une fille me dit "J'attends quelqu'un qui vous ressemble et qui un jour m'avait promis que nous irions danser ensemble tout près du vieux pont démoli" tout près du vieux pont démoli Et quand sous une arche oubliée elle m'a fait de ses deux nattes le plus attachant des colliers j'ai confondu le noms, les dates et tous les ponts du monde entier et tous les ponts du monde entier A la la ...
Nous nous sommes aimés si fort à la belle étoile pour auberge que là les yeux clos, sans effort rêvant contre ses dix-huit berges j'ai retrouvé le pont du Nord j'ai retrouvé le pont du Nord et que j'y suis peut-être encore et que j'y suis peut-être encore

Cowboy's Dream No. 19 Composer(s): Dan Hicks Performer(s): Dan Hicks
I want to go back where the space is wider To ride on horseback and roll my own smokes Longing to go back where people seem politer I'm saying hello, and evening I'll go
I've been away so long I think this is the right road But it's changed so much don't know for sure And the day will come when I'll be on the right road I'm saying hello, and evening I'll go
I can send off a letter to 'em but that would leave no surprise No, I got to wait, wait for that look in their eyes And I'll sit by the creek where the water runs cool and I know I'll have such a good time I'm sayin' hello, and evening I'll go
I can smell the coffee brewing I'll take mine black, you know it's good, it's good to be back Go on and tell me how you folks been doing I'm saying hello, and evening I'll go
Hey Bill won't you tell me when that train does stop I want to get off and say hello to a couple of people I think I still know And I ain't one to mince my words, I'll take a piece of that cake that they make I can't be late, you got to get what's on the plate... Odle ladie oh!

Cowboy Song Composer(s): Brian Downey; Phil Lynott First release by: Thin Lizzy - 1976 and multiple other artists
I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail A starry night, a campfire light The coyote call, the howling winds wail So I ride out to the old sundown
I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail Lord, Im just thinking about a certain female The nights we spent together riding on the range Looking back it seems so strange
Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Running free with the buffalo
I was took in Texas I did not know her name Lord, all these southern girls seem the same Down below the border in a town in Mexico I got my job busting broncs for the rodeo
Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Riding in the rodeo
Roll me over and set me free The cowboys life is the life for me
This Heart Of Mine Composer(s): Harry Warren - Arthur Freed Performer(s): Fred Astaire and multiple other artists
Maybe it was the music Or the glamorous sky of blue Maybe it was the mood I was in Or maybe it was really you... really you
This heart of mine was doing very well The world was fine as far as I could tell And then quite suddenly I saw you, and I dreamed of gay amours At dawn i wake up singing sentimental overtures
This heart of mine is gaily dancing now I taste the wine of real romancing now Somehow this crazy world has taken on a wonderful design As long as life endures, it's yours, this heart of mine
Cowboy From Brooklyn Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Harry Warren Performer(s): Jimmy Dorsey and multiple other artists
When I was just a little shaver back in Brooklyn I always thought that I would like to be a cowboy Because I loved to see 'em in the movin' pictures A-ridin' and a-shootin' away And so as I grew up I saved a lotta money I bought a saddle and I bought a buckin' bronco I said goodbye to all the fellas back in Brooklyn And I went to Arizona one day But I'll tell you, Pard, I worked so hard And ev'rybody played so rough That they always had me waitin' on the table Sweepin' out the stable and stuff ! And so I sold my saddle and my buckin' bronco And you won't ever catch me near another cowboy 'Cause I can always see 'em in the movin' pictures A-ridin' and a-shootin' away Okay! But I belong in Brooklyn Hangin' 'round the drugstore 'Roundin' up the sodas all day
J'Ai Raté Le Coche Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Quand est mort mon oncle Léon J'héritais d'son accordéon J'y ai mis toute mon ardeur Là j'étais plus au goût de l'heure
J'ai raté le coche C'est ça qui est moche
Ma fiancée était jolie Elle me dit 11 heures à la mairie Quand j'arrivai au train de midi Elle me présenta son mari
J'ai raté le coche encore une fois J'ai raté le coche touchons du bois
J'ai trouvé un gros portefeuille Au Grand Hôtel, Dieu quel accueil! Quand je me présentai pour payer Les billets étaient périmés
J'ai raté le coche, c'est ça qu'est moche J'ai raté le coche, c'est ça qu'est moche
Comme un voleur je fus jugé Au fond je ne plaignais de rien Un prisonnier ça mange bien C'était complet j'suis acquitté
On m'attribue quelques talents Je suis allé trouver Paris Pour lui communiquer mes prix Hélas Paris était absent
J'ai raté le coche, c'est ça qu'est moche J'ai raté le coche, c'est ça qu'est moche
J'avais les poches pleines d'espoir Maintenant c'est moche je vois tout noir Laisse à Gavroche toute sa gloire T'es qu'un fantoche, t'es qu'une bonne poire
Comme je me connais je pense bien Que ça va durer toute ma vie C'est ma nature, j'y suis pour rien Je rate le coche, ça vient de Fam Je rate le coche c'est ça qu'est moche Je rate le coche c'est ça qu'est moche Je rate le coche c'est ça qu'est moche Je rate le coche c'est ça qu'est moche Je rate le coche c'est ça qu'est moche

Cowboy Convention
Composer(s): Peter Barnfather - John Carter
Performer(s): Ohio Express; Buddy Alan; Don Rich
I was riding the prairie, when out of the blue I could see There were two dozen indians starting to close up on me There was no place I could run, and I never carry a gun So I cried for help
And along came Hopalong Cassidy, Maverick and Billy the Kid I'd have been lost if they hadn't shown up as they did And there was even Doc Holliday, Buffalo Bill, Jesse James And three hundred cavalry, but I can't remember their names
I was safe in my cabin and thinking of going to bed When an Indian tomahawk stuck in the wall by my head I looked through the window and saw there were three thousand Indians or more So I cried for help
And along came Hopalong Cassidy, Maverick and Billy the Kid I'd have been lost if they hadn't shown up as they did And there was even Doc Holliday, Buffalo Bill, Jesse James And three hundred cavalry, but I can't remember their names
One day I was caught and was taken to see Running Bear But we got on so well that he told me that I could stay there And according to Indian law, I could have me a choice of a squaw I needed no help!
And along came Hopalong Cassidy, Maverick and Billy the Kid I'd have been fine if they hadn't shown up as they did And there was even Doc Holliday, Buffalo Bill, Jesse James And three hundred cavalry, but I can't remember their names
