Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer Those days of soda and pretzels and beer Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer
Just fill your basket full of sandwiches and weenies Then lock the house up, now you're set And on the beach you'll see the girls in their bikinis As cute as ever but they never get 'em wet
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer Those days of soda and pretzels and beer Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer You'll wish that summer could always be here
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer Those days of soda and pretzels and beer Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer
Don't hafta tell a girl and fella about a drive-in Or some romantic moon it seems Right from the moment that those lovers start arrivin' You'll see more kissin' in the cars than on the screen
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer Those days of soda and pretzels and beer Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer You'll wish that summer could always be here
You'll wish that summer could always be here You'll wish that summer could always be here
Refrein: Je blijft me lief men leven lang Ik laat je vrij, wees maar niet bang Ik laat je gaan je bent vrij man Maar komt terug, zo nu en dan
Ik weet het wel, jij wilt geen al te vaste band Jij houdt de liefde in de hand Ik weet het wel jij leeft van dag tot dag, tot dag Je gaat niet zomaar over stag
Refrein:
Ik weet het wel, jij vind dat ik weer spoken zie Als ik je vraag waar of je was en met wie Ik weet het wel, ik zie het niet zo erg reëel Misschien wil ik, wel, veel te veel
refrein
Ik weet het wel, je bent me lang niet altijd trouw En toch hou ik alleen van jouw Ik weet het wel, je hebt het mij al vaak gezegd Je bent toch erg, aan, mij, gehecht
Refrein:
Je blijft me lief men leven lang Ik laat je gaan, wees maar niet bang Ik laat je gaan op jouw advies Dan ben ik bang ... dat ik je zo verlies
Those Days Are Over Composer(s): Andrew B. Sterling - Edward P. Moran - Harry Von Tilzer
Let's take a look in memry's book back to the days of yore Back to the school old swimmin' pool wel'll just be kids once more Let's wander back where we used to sit and dram Down by the old mill stream
Let's climb the hill down by the mill pile on the old bob sled Coasting we'll go roll in the snow until our cheeks grow red Oh for the days of the olden golden pas They were too good to last
Where are the days of long ago? Those days are over those days are over all over Where is the barefoot bashful beau? the one who wrote "I love you so" Oh! Sweet childhood days so dear to you and me Sweet wildwood ways are just a memory Gee! but it makes me sad some how Those days are over over now

Je Bivouaque Au Pays De Cocagne Performer(s): Georges Brassens
Une rue sans joie où les sbires Tout seuls ne s'aventurent pas Un coupe-gorge et même pire La venelle où traînaient mes pas! Mais j'avais mangé du poète Je marchais un peu sur la tête Et cett' rue je l'ai traversée Comm' l'avenue des Champs-Élysées
{Refrain:} Je bivouaque au Pays de Co cagne depuis Que j'ai bouté La vérité Au fond du puits
Beauté du diable et qui n'inspire Pas l'envie d'aller en sabbat Epouvantail et même pire La fille m'offrant ses appas! Mais j'avais mangé du poète Je marchais un peu sur la tête Et j'ai changé cette petite En une Vénus Aphrodite
{Refrain}
Quatre anges déchus qui soupirent Si peu qu'on ne les entend pas Jamais étreinte ne fut pire Jamais amour vola si bas! Mais j'avais mangé du poète Je marchais un peu sur la tête Et quittant doucement la terre Je fus à bon port à Cythère
I left my sweetheart in old New Hampshire, waving to my train I sort of reckoned that old New Hampshire would never see me again I got "kinder" tired of my home town, had a lot of silly dreams mighty disappointed looking 'round, this life ain't what it seems
My heart is sighing now for the good old days back home I'm crying now, I was foolish kid to roam you could live around the city years or more and never get acquainted with the folks next door Way back home you rise at dawning, you meet a stranger and he'll say "Good Mornin'" I'm longing now for the fields, I used to plow I want to see the bumble bees a buzzin' 'round the comb (I've been a drone) and in the homestead on the hill, I wonder if they're waiting still Oh, my heart is sighing, and I'm just dying for the good old days back home Maple syrup flowing from the shady maple trees, hear the rooster crowing hear the humming of the bees, see the corn a waving in the fields of new mown hay that is why I'm craving, why I'm leaving here today
My heart is sighing now for the good old days back home I'm crying now, I was foolish kid to roam you could live around the city years or more and never even know the folks that live next door Way back home you rise at dawning, you meet a stranger and he'll say "Good Mornin'" I'm sighing now for the fields, I used to plow I want to see the bumble bees a buzzin' 'round the comb (I've been a drone) I want to ride for miles, I'm through with butter cakes and Childs Oh, my heart is sighing, and I'm just dying for the good old days back home
Lucy and Ramona cruisin' thru the jungles of L.A. Hopin' to promote a dream somewhere along the way (They're) Rollin' thru the streets looking for a disco Passin' up the treats from a kid named Cisco Trying to make connections With their blemish-free complexions And just as fate would have it They ended up with Sunset Sam
Sam was sellin' watches from a suitcase on a TV tray And Lucy and Ramona were tryin' to figure out if he was gay The three of them were standing staring at each other When the light behind their eyes blew each other's cover The ancient code was branded And each of them was handed A ticket to their kingdom 'Cause they saw their brother Sunset Sam
Lucy and Ramona and Sunset Sam People on the streets tryin' to find a plan People on the streets lookin' for the land Lucy and Ramona and their brother Sunset Sam
Lucy was from Compton and she met Ramona at a zoo Ramona was from Brooklyn, but she left when she was twenty-two Sam was a native of the Arizona desert But he split when he was slated for some governmental make-work Their differences subsided when the common bond was sighted They were all from the same place That made the famous Sunset Sam
Lucy and Ramona and Sunset Sam People on the streets tryin' to find a plan People on the streets lookin' for the land Lucy and Ramona and their brother Sunset Sam
(Yes it is) Lucy and Ramona and Sunset Sam People on the streets tryin' to find a plan People on the streets just lookin' for the land Lucy and Ramona and their brother Sunset Sam
Meet Me On The Corner Composer(s): Rod Clements
First release by: Lindisfarne - 1971
Hey Mr. Dream Seller
Where have you been
Tell me have you dreams I can see
I came along just to bring you a song
Can you spare one dream for me
You won't have met me
So soon you'll forget
So don't mind me tugging at your sleeve
I'm asking you if I could fix a rendezvous
For your dreams are all I believe
Meet me on the corner
When the lights are coming on
And I'll be there
I promise I'll be there
Down the empty streets will disappear
Into the darkness you have dreams enough to spare
Lay down your bundles
Of rag and reminders
And spread your wealth on the ground
Well I got time if you deal them mine
I'm just hanging around
Meet me on the corner
When the lights are coming on
And I'll be there
I promise I'll be there
Down the empty streets will disappear
Into the darkness you have dreams enough to spare
Hey Mr. Dream Seller
Where have you been
Tell me have you dreams I can see
I'm asking you if I could fix a rendezvous
For your dreams are all I believe
Hey Mr. Dream Seller
Where have you been
Tell me have you dreams I can see
I came along just to bring you a song
Can you spare one dream for me

You have to wash with the crocodile in the river You have to swim with the sharks in the sea You have to live with the crooked politician Trush those things that you can never see Ayeye ayeye jesse mfana (jesse boy) ayeye ayeye
It's a cruel crazy beautiful world Every time you wake up I hope it's under a blue sky It's a cruel crazy beautiful world One day when you wake up I will have to say goodbye Goodbye -- It's your world so live in it!
Beyond the door, strange cruel beautiful years lie waiting for you It kills me to know you won't escape loneliness Maybe you lose hope too Ayeye ayeye jesse mfana ayeye ayeye
It's a cruel crazy beautiful world Every time you wake up I hope it's under a blue sky It's a cruel crazy beautiful world One day when you wake up I will have to say goodbye Goodbye -- It's your world so live in it!
When I feel your small body close to mine I feel weak and strong at the same time So few years to give you wings to fly Show you the stars to guide your ship by
It's a cruel crazy beautiful world Every time you wake up I hope it's under a blue sky It's a cruel crazy beautiful world One day when you wake up I will have to say goodbye Goodbye -- It's your world so live in it!

Millie: There are those I suppose Think we're mad Heaven knows The world has gone To rack and to ruin What we think is chic, unique and quite adorable They think is odd and sodom and gomorrah-able
But the fact is Everything today is thoroughly modern Check your personality Everything today makes yesterday slow Better face reality It's not insanity Says Vanity Fair In fact, it's stylish To raise your skirts and bob your hair
In a rumble seat, the world is so cozy If the boy is kissable And that tango dance they wouldn't allow Now is quite permissible Goodbye, good'-goody girl I'm changing and how! So beat the drums Coz here comes thoroughly modern Millie now!
Everything today is thoroughly modern Bands are gettin' jazzier Everything today is starting to go Cars are gettin' snazzier Men say it's criminal What women'll do What they're forgetting is This is Nineteen Twenty-Two
Have you seen the way they kiss in the movies? Isn't it delectable? Painting lips and pencil lining your brow Now is quite respectable Goodbye good'-goody girl I'm changing and how! So beat the drums Coz here comes thoroughly modern Millie now!

Noël 70
Composer(s): François Bernheim
Performer(s): Les Poppys
Pour tous les enfants de par le monde entier
Dont les pays sont en guerre plus souvent qu'en paix
Je déclare la trêve pour quelques instants
En qualité de Président des moins de vingt ans
Même si mon Etat n'a qu'un ambassadeur
Qui s'appelle l'Amour que j'ai dans le cur
Et même si mon sceptre n'est qu'un petit hochet
Respectez-le car maintenant c'est
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Joyeux Noël
Pour tous les Papas et toutes les Mamans
Pour tous les généraux et tous les présidents
Pour Jimmy Hendrix qui ne voulait pas voir
Pour les Blancs, les Rouges, les Jaunes ou bien les Noirs
Pour l'Ouest ou le Sud, ou l'Est ou bien le Nord
Pour tous les vivants qui distribuent la mort
Je demande une trêve pour que se passe en paix
Cette conférence au sommet
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Joyeux Noël
Ecoutez-moi bien, je n'ai pas dans mes jouets
De radio-pirate, de journal de télé
Mais j'espère bien que j'aurai tout ça un jour
Pour ne vous parler que d'un sujet très court
En avant première la paix autour de moi
Au journal du soir la paix plus loin que ça
Pour en revenir à ce que je disais
La trêve car maintenant c'est: Noël...
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Joyeux Noël
There's a thorn tree in the garden, if you know just what I mean And I hate to hurt your feelings but it's not the way it seems 'Cause I miss her
She's the only girl I've cared for, the only one I've known And no one ever shared more love than we've known And I miss her
But it all seems so strange to see That she'd ever turn her back on me And leave without a last goodbye And if she winds up walking the streets Loving every other man she meets Who'll be the one to answer why? Lord, I hope it's not me, it's not me
And if I never see her face again, I never hold her hand And if she's in somebody's arms, I know I'll understand But I miss that girl. I still miss that girl
