This Is No Laughing Matter Composer(s): Van Loman - Martin Block - Al Frisch Performer(s): Glenn Miller & His Orch. (vocal: Ray Eberle) and multiple other artists
I have a feeling that something is wrong This is not the way that things should be We've known each other too well and too long You don't have to act with me
This is no laughing matter Somehow I want to cry I know your sweet and idle chatter Really means goodbye This is no laughing matter I thought we'd never part This is no time for pretty patter While you break my heart What of all the moon dreams shared together Beside the garden wall Love can't always have that perfect weather A little rain must fall Think of the dreams you'll shatter If you should say we're through This is no laughing matter Darling, I'm in love with you
Crazy Composer(s): Willie Nelson First release by: Patsy Cline - 1961 Covered by multiple other artists
Crazy I'm crazy for feelin' so lonely I'm crazy Crazy for feelin' so blue I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted And then someday You'd leave me for somebody new
Worry, why do I let myself worry? Wonderin' what in the world did I do?
I'm crazy For thinkin' that my love could hold you I'm crazy for cryin' And crazy for tryin' And I'm crazy for lovin' you
Crazy For thinkin' that my love could hold you I'm crazy for cryin' And crazy for tryin' And I'm crazy for lovin' you
J'Aime Composer(s): Chris Michaelessi; Christian Dorisse Performer(s): Dalida
Comme un jour qui va venir Un chagrin qui va finir Une porte qui va s'ouvrir Une étoile qui brille
Comme un couple qui va s'unir Une larme qui va mourir Un enfant qui va grandir Je n'aime que lui
J'aime le plein soleil Qui crève le ciel quand il sourit J'aime le pleins d'amour La vie qui court autour de lui J'aime la terre immense La nuit qui danse quand il est là J'aime même ma peine pour qu'il revienne Quand il s'en va
Ma vie se lit sur son visage Et le temps n'a plus d'âge J'aime le pleins soleil Qui crève le ciel quand il sourit J'aime le pleins d'amour La vie qui court autour de lui
Comme un jour qui va venir Un chagrin qui va finir Une porte qui va s'ouvrir Je n'aime que lui
This is my world, a world of splendour Swanky and rich and fine This is a world I wont surrender Now that Ive made it mine A world that is full of wonderful things Dukes and their duchesses, nobles and kings Ill be king for more than a day Whatever they say, Ill keep it that way For this is the world that I was meant for This is the world for me I wouldnt give a blimmin cent For life as it used to be For now that Im tasting the pleasures of life Even a fool can see This is my world, a world of splendour Swanky and rich and fine This is a world I wont surrender Now that Ive made it mine
For this is the world that I was meant for This is the world for me I wouldnt give a blimmin cent For life as it used to be For now that Im tasting the pleasures of life Even a fool can see That this is my world This is my world This is my world And this is the world for me

You just got out of school last year And all your friends ask, hey what you doing here?

J'aime quand le vent nous taquine Quand il joue dans tes cheveux Quand tu te fais ballerine Pour le suivre à pas gracieux J'aime quand tu reviens ravie Pour te jeter à mon cou Quand tu te fais petite fille Pour t'asseoir sur mes genoux J'aime le calme crépuscule Quand il s'installe à pas de loup Mais j'aime a espérer crédule Qu'il s'embraserait pour nous J'aime ta main qui me rassure Quand je me perds dans le noir Et ta voix elle murmure De la source de l'espoir J'aime quand tes yeux couleur de brume Me font un manteau de douceur Et comme sur un coussin de plumes Mon front se pose sur ton cur
Down In Jungle Town Composer(s): Edward Madden - Theodore Morse Performer(s): Spike Jones & his City Slickers and multiple other artists
Down in Jungle Town A honeymoon is comin' soon There will be a serenade To a pretty monkey maid And soon a big baboon Comes out to spoon beneath the moon Oh she'll be true to monkey doodle doo Way down in Jungle Town
And so we left the teeming little village and struck out into the mysterious jungle By native grapevine we had learned of a tribe of ferocious man-eating cannibals who held in their midst, Mamo, a beautiful white goddess After hacking our way through the dense undergrowth for hours, we finally came into a clearing There in the moonlight was Mamo, surrounded by a group of half crazed savages chanting the song of death
(Iiieee-yaaa, Pistol Packin' Mamo lay that pistol down)

Crawling From The Wreckage Composer(s): Graham Parker First release by: Dave Edmunds - 1979
Got out really early from the factory Driving like a nut in the rain Dont think I was acting so hysterically But I didnt see a thing until it came Man the drunks were verbal in the takeaway Beating up the chinese at the counter
I put a few inside me At the end of the day I took out my revenge On the revolution counter
Crawling from the wreckage Crawling from the wreckage Youd think by now at least that Half my brain would get the message Crawling from the wreckage Crawling from the wreckage Into a brand new car
In walks bud with his exploding nose Hed been giving it maximum today He shouted how the devil You in trouble I suppose But all you ever do is run away Turned up the motor into hyper-drive I wasnt gonna take any of that Dont get bright ideas about a suicide cause all I ever hear Is zoom wam bam past me
Crawling from the wreckage Crawling from the wreckage Youd think by now at least that Half my brain would get the message Crawling from the wreckage Crawling from the wreckage Into a brand new car
Crawling, crawling, crawling from the wreckage Crawling, crawling, crawling from the wreckage Crawling, crawling, crawling from the wreckage
Crawling from the wreckage Crawling from the wreckage Bits of me are scattered In the trees and in the hedges Crawling from the wreckage Crawling from the wreckage Into a brand new car
Nothing seems to happen that aint happened before I see it all through flashes of depression I dry up my drink and hear People running for the door God I make some kind of impression cause when Im disconnected from the driving wheel Im only half the man I should be But metal hitting metal isnt all I feel And everything is good as It possible could be
Crawling from the wreckage Crawling from the wreckage Youd think by now at least that Half my brain would get the message Crawling from the wreckage Crawling from the wreckage Into a brand new car
Crawling from the wreckage Crawling from the wreckage Bits of me are scattered In the trees and in the hedges Crawling from the wreckage Crawling from the wreckage Into a brand new car
Crawling from the wreckage Crawling from the wreckage Crawling, crawling Crawling from the wreckage

This Is My Town Composer(s): Cornelius Halfin - John Halfin Performer(s): Lita Roza
This is my town, where first I saw the light of day This is the town where as a child I used to play I've seen the lights of Paris I've felt the wonder of Rome But this is my love, this is my town And it's home
When people talk of other places where they have been I let them talk, for in my heart I know they`ve never seen That shady lane, the distant steeple Where you'll meet such friendly people This is my town, a bit tumbledown This is my town, this is my home
When people talk of other places where they have been I let them talk, for in my heart I know they`ve never seen That shady lane, the distant steeple Where you'll meet such friendly people This is my town, a bit tumbledown This is my town, this is my home

Well I went to the bayou just last night There was no moon but the stars were bright Put a big long hook on a big long pole And I pulled Mr. Crawfish out of his hole Crawfish
See I got him, see the size Stripped and cleaned before your eyes Sweet meat look, fresh and ready to cook Crawfish
Now take Mr. Crawfish in your hand He's gonna look good in your frying pan If you fry him crisp or you boil him right He'll be sweeter than sugar with every bite Crawfish

J'Ai Vu Paris Composer(s): Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
J'ai vu Paris se réveiller Aux croissants chauds, aux café-crème Paris penché sur ses problèmes Paris moutard, Paris certife J'ai vu Paris de déniaiser Paris bistrots, Paris les potes Paris les filles qu'on bécote Et pelote sur les fortifs Paris gamberge Paris vingt berges Paris je t'emmène en goguette Sur son cadre de bicyclette J'ai ta peau à déboutonner Paris les bouges Paris vin rouge Paris oisif, Paris débauche Mais aussi Paris pas d'embauche Au seuil des usines gardées J'ai vu Paris, le poing brandi Et l'âme révolutionnaire Découvrant son front populaire Paris descendre dans Paris
J'ai vu Paris se passionner Pour un roi lui rendant visite Un condamné qu'on décapite Une invention, un mot d'esprit J'ai vu Paris s'époumoner A chanter un air à la mode Froufrou, mon cul sur la commode Mais par malheur j'ai vu aussi Paris la guerre Paris misère Paris décomposer qu'on viole Paris qui n'a plus la parole Vaincu, souffrant et humilié Paris la gronde Paris la fronde Paris courage, Paris terne Paris gazogène et en berne Paris-Londres parachuté J'ai vu Paris jouer sa vie Paris ras-le-bol des brimades Et juché sur ses barricades Paris redevenir Paris
J'ai vu Paris se transformer S'emballer pour l'automobile Paris se croire aux mille mille Paris chauffard, Paris râler J'ai vu Paris se libérer Paris blues-jeans, adieu complexe Paris égalité des sexes Paris pilule, émancipé Paris qui grogne Paris qui cogne Paris aux urnes prophétiques Paris qui parle politique Et s'enflamme pour une idée Paris en grève Paris qui rêve Paris assis cassant la croûte Ou pissant au bord des routes Arrosant ses congés payés Paris d'hier et de toujours Paris vingt siècles de jeunesse Pour tous tes amants tes maîtresses Tu restes le plus grand amour
Song Of Peace (Finlandia) Composer(s): Jan Sibelius - Lloyd Stone Performer(s): Peter, Paul & Mary
This is my song, O God of all the nations A song of peace for lands afar and mine This is my home, the country where my heart is Here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine But other hearts in other lands are beating With hopes and dreams as true and high as mine
My country's skies are bluer than the ocean And sunlight beams on clover leaf and pine But other lands have sunlight too, and clover And skies are everywhere as blue as mine O hear my song, thou God of all the nations A song of peace for their land and for mine
My dear radio audience Now I shall do Some of the songs I've had the pleasure Of introducing to you It was not so very long ago When you heard this little ditty On your ra-di-o
On the good ship Lollipop It's a sweet trip to a candy shop Where bon bons play On the sunny beach of peppermint bay
And do you remember?
Animal Crackers in my soup Monkeys and rabbits loop the loop Gosh oh gee but I have fun Swallowing animals one by one
And I never ever will Forget my grandest thrill The very first time that I sang
An ordinary day Becomes a holiday When I'm with you, hmm hmm I have lots of toys But I don't want to play
Yes and I'll never forget it I sat in my Daddy's lap and whispered
Oh, Daddy, how I miss you Your busy all your life I love to hug and kiss you Marry me and let me be your wife
Ahhhh, but it's great to reminisce When I sang to my little Dutch Dolly Just Like this
Sometimes I ought to hasche (hate) you You make me feel so vlue (blue) But honest I can't hate you When you smile at me my lovely poopjan Auckks mine goodness
(Tick Tick Tick) The clock is ticking the hours away And so my radio audience The time has come, for me to say
Goodnight my friends The tired old moon is descending Goodnight my friends My moment with you now is ending
And So I must leave you With kindest regards from Rebecca and Crackly Grain Flakes The Grain Flakes that makes your tummy say 'Yum-Yum-Yummy' I want all my little friends to close their eyes and dream For in the morning It's Crackly Grain Flakes with sugar and cream Eat it with a smile and life will be worth while And now in conclusion Please join me in singing my theme
Goodnight my friends Sleep tight my friends God bless you pleasant dreams Nightie night
