Composer(s): Chuck Willis
First release by: Chuck Willis - 1956
Covered by multiple other artists
It's too late, she's gone
(Too late, too late)
It's too late, my baby's gone
(Too late, too late
Doo-wop!)
Wish I had told her she was my only one
Lord, it's too late, she's gone
It's a weak man that cries
(Ooo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo)
So, I guess I better dry my eyes
(Ooo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo
Doo-wop!)
Yes, I will miss her more than anyone
Lord, it's too late, she's gone
(Too late)
She's gone, oh, she's gone
She's gone, my baby's gone
She's gone, yes, she's gone
Where can my baby be?
I wonder does she know
(Too late, too late)
When she left me, it hurt me so?
(Too late, too late
Doo-wop!)
I need your lovin'
Please don't make me wait
And tell me it's not too late
I need your lovin'
Please don't make me wait
And tell me it's not too late
(It's not too late)

Fairytale Of New York
Fairytale Of New York
Composer(s): Shane MacGowan; Jem Finer
First release by: The Pogues - 1988
Covered by multiple other artists
Titles In Other Languages:
1996 - Weihnachtsnaach
2003 - Nieuwjaar In Brussel
It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
And I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true
They've got cars
Big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me
You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on the corner
Then danced through the night
The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing 'Galway Bay'
And the bells were ringing
Out for Christmas day
You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Living there almost dead on a drip
In that bed
You scum bag
You maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God
It's our last
I could have been someone
So could anyone
You took my dreams
From me when I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

It's Too Late (Carole King)
It's Too Late
Composer(s): Carole King; Toni Stern
First release by: Carole King - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing, or maybe we've stopped trying
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you
But it's too late, baby, it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it

Everybody Knows The Claus
Everybody Knows The Claus
Composer(s): Isaac Hanson
Performer(s): Hanson
Don't you smell the cookies he's bakin
Can't you see that belly, it's shakin'
Don't you take a cookie off that pan
You don't want to mess with this man
You've never seen this side of him before
You know he wont be knockin' at your door
Here comes Santa Claus
Doin' all those good things
Everybody knows the Claus
Here come Santa Claus
You know he's a big man
Don't mess with the boss
Ask Rudolph and he won't steer you wrong
Now, Santa wasn't this fat all along
Until he started cookin' one day
Now don't take that turkey away
You've never seen this side of him before
You know he won't be knockin' at your door
Here comes Santa Claus
Doin' all those good things
Everybody knows the Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
You know he's a big man
Don't mess with the boss
Ridin' down the air highway in his sleigh
Bringing all the presents for the next day
Don't forget the donuts
His cookies and his milk are his pride
Or anything that can be deep fried
Don't get me wrong now he's a nice guy
But you don't want to get on his bad side
You've never seen this side of him, you've never seen this side of...
Here comes Santa Claus
Doin' all those things
Everybody knows the Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
You know he's a big man
Don't mess with the boss

Every Year, Every Christmas
Every Year, Every Christmas
Composer(s): Richard Marx; Luther Vandross
Performer(s): Luther Vandross; Patti LaBelle
I don't know how love could do this to me
I've waited and waited for someone I never see
But I'm so sentimental, and I'm so hopeful you'll be there
So, here I am every year, every Christmas
I've wished for you in my heart and in my head
And I got my answer that first moment that we met
And, oh yes, I believed you as you told me, as you said
You'd be here every year, every Christmas
There must be a lesson for me to learn
If you don't trust in love, you'll get nothing in return
Why should I be lonely, don't tell me it's right
I have my pride, but I'd rather be with you tonight
So much emotion, it's driving me mad
But I'll take my chances with these feelings that I have
And I'll come back to this same corner where we met
And I'll be here every year, every Christmas
Mere words can't explain the pain and the fear
'Cause oh, I wonder, yes, I wonder are you gonna leave me standing here
Today's almost over, but I don't want to leave
Has my heart made a fool out of me?
My friends gather round me with holiday cheer
They say to forget you, to let you go 'cause you're not here
Well, I can't keep explaining what they'll never understand
And why I'm here every year, every Christmas
I return every year, every Christmas
I come here every year, every Christmas

It's Today
Composer(s): Jerry Herman
Performer(s): Bobby Darin - 1966
and multiple other artists
Mame:
Light the candles
Get the ice out
Roll the rug up
It's today
Though it may not be anyone's birthday
And though it's far from the first of the year
I know that this very minute has history in it, we're here!
All:
It's a time for making merry
And so I'm for making hay
Mame:
Tune the grand up
Dance your shoes off
Strike the band up
It's today!
All:
And we're living
In the world game
So this whole game's
What we make
Mame:
Call the cops out
Raise the rockets
Pull the stops out
All:
Pull out the stops
It's today
Light the candles
Fill the punch bowl
Throw confetti
It's today
Girls:
Life can also be lived on a weekday
So don't depend on a holiday date
If you need New Year's to bubble
Then order a double and wait
Doo doo doo doo dah
All:
There's a "thank you" you can give life
If you live life all the way
Pull the stops out
Hold the roof down
Mame:
Fellows watch out
It's today
All:
It's a time for making merry
And so I'm for making hay
Tune the grand up
Call the cops out
Strike the band up
Pull the stops out
Hallelujah!
It's today!
Reprise:
Mame:
Light the sparklers
Crash the cymbals
Blow the bugle
It's today
Someone gave me a wonderful present
Something I needed and yet never knew
So start to whistling and clapping
'Cause under the wrapping was you!
All:
And we'll give life
Quite a tumble
And we'll live life
All the way
Call the cops out
Raise the rocket
Pull the stops out
It's today!

The Big Apple
The Big Apple
Composer(s): Robert Emmerich - Buddy Bernier
Performer(s): Tommy Dorsey
Dorsey: Hiya fellahs, what's new?
The Band: Not much!
Dorsey: Not much? Well, hello Edythe, what's new with you?
Wright: I've got a new dance. I'd like to show it to you...
If you've got rhythm to burn
Here's a dance that's easy to learn
If you don't, then your name is mud
If you don't, you're a social dud
'Cause ev'rybody's learnin' how to do the Big Apple (The Big Apple?)
And it isn't very hard to do the Big Apple (The Big Apple?)
Ten can do it just as well as two, the Big Apple (The Big Apple?)
Ev'rybody's learnin' how to do that brand new Apple dance
They say an apple a day will keep the doctor away
Hey-hey, it's easy to dance your cares away
Ev'rybody's learnin' how to do the Big Apple (The Big Apple?)
Come on, learn to do that Apple dance
First you gather round, then you cover ground
To a bit of this, a bit of that, and then
Do a Fred Astaire and a ???? air
Truck around and then you start right in again
You must do anything that you know
The most important thing is just to let yourself go
Dorsey: Say, Edythe, what's that apple you're talkin' about?
Wright: It's a new dance they're all ravin' about...
You truck on down and Suzie Q
Then shag a bit, and some posin' too
A Lindy hop, you get the lot
Put 'em all together and what've you got
The Big Apple (The Big Apple?)
The Big Apple (The Big Apple)
(Well, my my, yes yes, my my!)

It's The Same Old Dream
It's The Same Old Dream
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Jule Styne
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists
I can see a steeple - surrounded by people
Oh how real it all starts to seem
Just as the choir is singing - my alarm starts ringing
It's the same old dream
And then my thoughts inspire - a scene by the fire
In a cottage close by a stream
I know it all by heart now - we're about to part now
It's the same old dream
If you but knew
How many times I pretend - that I'm with you
I'm sure your heart would unbend - you'd see me through
Until my dream had a happy ending
And I can picture clearly - the things I love dearly
In the center you reign supreme
We kiss and I discover - I'm a lonesome lover
It's the same old dream

Es Kommt Ein Schiff Geladen
Es Kommt Ein Schiff Geladen
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Prinzen
and multiple other artists
Es kommt ein Schiff, geladen
bis an seinen höchsten Bord
Trägt Gottes Sohn voll Gnaden
des Vaters ewigs Wort
Das Schiff steht still im Triebe
es trägt ein teure Last
das Segel ist die Liebe
der Heilig Geist der Mast
Der Anker haft´auf Erden
und das Schiff ist am Land
Gottes Wort tut uns Fleisch werden
der Sohn ist uns gesandt
Zu Bethlehem geboren
im Stall ein Kindelein
gibt sich für uns verloren
gelobet muß es sein
Und wer dies Kind mit Freuden
küssen, umfangen will
der muß vor mit ihm leiden
groß Pein und Marter viel
darnach, mit ihm auch sterben
und geistlich auferstehn
ewigs Leben zu erben
wie an ihm ist geschehn

It's Time
It's Time
Composer(s): G. Chadd; Jim Crichton; Ian Crichton; Steve Negus; Michael Sadler
Performer(s): Saga
Large and tall ones, short and small ones
Working 'round a frame
The pieces fit so perfectly
Like some large metal game
The time draws near, and with it fear
All senses a new kind
I'll not look back, on watered thoughts
Rearranging mine
It's time!
This time!
Make me now!
It's time!
This time!
Change me now!
The book has said, that all the plans
Would be well within my reach
And here things were
Even larger than I'd reamed
This metal gift, a perfect shift
From the art of being kind
I'll not look back, on tired thoughts
And all those changing minds
It's time!
This time!
Make me now!
It's time!
This time!
Change me now!

Es Ist Ein' Ros'
Es Ist Ein' Ros'
Composer(s): Johannes Brahms
Performer(s): Trinity College Choir, Cambridge
Es ist ein Ros entsprungen
aus einer Wurzel zart
wie uns die Alten sungen
von Jesse kam die Art
und hat ein Blümlein bracht
mitten im kalten Winter
wohl zu der halben Nacht
Das Röslein, das ich meine
davon Jesaia sagt
ist Maria die reine
die uns das Blümlein bracht'
Aus Gottes ew'gem Rat
hat sie ein Kind geboren
und blieb ein reine Magd
Das Blümelein so kleine
das duftet uns so süß
mit seinem hellen Scheine
vertreibt's die Finsternis
Wahr' Mensch und wahrer Gott
hilft uns aus allem Leide
rettet von Sünd und Tod

It's The Talk Of The Town
Composer(s): Jerry Livingston; Marty Symes; Al J. Neiburg
First release by: Glen Gray & The Casa Loma Orch. - 1933
Covered by multiple other artists
We were more than lovers
We were more than sweethearts
It's so hard to understand
Don't know why it happened
Don't know how it started
Why should we be strangers
After all we planned
I can't show my face
Can't go anyplace
People stop an' stare
It's so hard to bear
Everybody knows you left me
It's the talk of the town . . .
Every time we meet
My heart skips a beat
We don't stop to speak
'Though it's just a week
Everybody knows you left me
It's the talk of the town . . .
We send out invitations
To friends and relations
Announcing our weddin' day
Friends and our relations
Gave congratulations
How can you face them?
What can you say?
Let's make up sweetheart
We can't stay apart
Don't let foolish pride
Keep you from my side
How can love like ours be ended?
It's the talk of the town . . .
How can you face them?
What can you say?
Let's make up sweetheart
We can't stay apart
Don't let foolish pride
Keep you from my side
How can love like ours be ended?
It's the talk of the town . . . hmm
It's the talk of the town

Twee Rode Rozen
Twee Rode Rozen
Performer(s): Tina Rosita
Twee rode rozen en twee gebroken harten
Ja dat is alles wat bleef van jou en mij
Twee rode rozen en twee gebroken harten
Want onze liefde was veel te snel voorbij
Twee mooie jaren dat wij gelukkig waren
Jij gaf me al jouw liefde
Jij gaf me al je trouw
Toen moest je strijden
Een ver vreemd land bevrijden
Je bent niet terug gekomen
Slechts een brief gehuld in 't zwart
Twee rode rozen en twee gebroken harten
Ja onze liefde was veel te snel voorbij
Twee rode rozen en twee gebroken harten
Ja dat is alles wat bleef van jou en mij
Twee rode rozen en twee gebroken harten
Want onze liefde was veel te snel voorbij

It's The Same The Whole World Over
It's The Same The Whole World Over (aka She Was Poor, But She Was Honest)
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Billy Bennett
She was poor, but she was honest
Though she came from 'umble stock
And an honest heart was beating
Underneath her tattered frock
'Eedless of 'er Mother's warning
Up to London she 'ad gone
Yearning for the bright lights gleaming
'Eedless of temp-ta-shy-on
But the rich man saw her beauty
She knew not his base design
And he took her to a hotel
And bought her a small port wine
Then the rich man took 'er ridin'
Wrecker of poor women's souls
But the Devil was the chauffeur
As she rode in his Royce Rolls
In the rich man's arms she fluttered
Like a bird with a broken wing
But he loved 'er and he left 'er
Now she hasn't got no ring
It's the same the whole world over
It's the poor what gets the blame
It's the rich what gets the pleasure
Ain't it all a bloomin' shame?
Time has flown, outcast and helpless
In the street she stands and says
While the snowflakes fall around 'er
"Won't you buy my bootlaces?"
See him riding in a carriage
Past the gutter where she stands
He has made a stylish marriage
While she wrings her ringless hands
See him there at the theatre
In the front row with the best
While the girl that he has ruined
Entertains a sordid guest
See 'er on the bridge at midnight
She says "Farewell, blighted love"
There's a scream, a splash......Good 'eavens!
What is she a-doing of?
So they dragged 'er from the river
Water from 'er clothes they wrung
They all thought that she was drownded
But the corpse got up and sung
It's the same the whole world over
It's the poor what gets the blame
It's the rich what gets the pleasure
Ain't it all a bloomin' shame?

Tu Sens La Menthe
Tu Sens La Menthe
Composer(s): Eugène Joullot - Félix Mortreuil - Charles Borel-Clerc
Performer(s): Dranem
D'chez l'coiffeur sortant l'autre semaine
Où je m'étais fait raser le menton
Dans la rue je rencontre une ancienne
Qui m'embrasse et me dit tu sens bon
Moi très flatté du compliment
Je lui réponds fort galamment
Pétronille tu sens la menthe
Tu sens la pastille de menthe
Tu sens la menthe pastillée
Entortillée dans du papier
Papier papier papier mâché
Le soir même de mon hyménée
Quand l'cérémonial fut fini
Ma femm' me dit très emballée
Une heure avant de se mettre au lit
Je sens que j't'adore mon gros chéri
C'est pas ça qu' tu sens que j'y dis
Pétronille tu sens la menthe
Tu sens la pastille de menthe
Tu sens la menthe pastillée
Entortillée dans du papier
Papier papier papier vergé
Sous le balcon de son idole
Guitare en mains plume au chapeau
Plein d'une insouciance folle
Soupirait le beau Roméo
Le tendre amant qui s'emballait
Comme une baleine lui gueulait
Pétronille tu sens la menthe
Tu sens la pastille de menthe
Tu sens la menthe pastillée
Entortillée dans du papier
Papier papier papier graissé
Ce matin j'rencontre ma cousine
Elle avait un air tout changé
Je lui dis tu n'as pas bonne mine
Elle me répond je viens de me purger
Je dois sentir les pois d'senteur
Non j'lui réplique mon joli cœur
Pétronille tu sens la menthe
Tu sens la pastille de menthe
Tu sens la menthe pastillée
Entortillée dans du papier
Papier papier papier percé

It's The Same Old Song
It's The Same Old Song
((French Version: C'est La Même Chanson (Claude François) - 1971))
Composer(s): Lamont Dozier - Brian Holland - Eddie Holland
First release by: Four Tops - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists
You're sweet as a honey bee
But like a honey bee stings
You've gone and left my heart in pain
All you left is our favourite song
The one we danced to all night long
It used to bring sweet memories
Of a tender love that used to be
Now it's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
A sentimental fool am I
to hear a old love song
And want to cry
But the melody keeps haunting me
Reminding me how in love we used to be
Keep hearing the part that used to touch my heart
Saying together forever
Breaking up never
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
Precious memories keep lingering on
Every time I hear our favourite song
Now you're gone
Left this emptiness
I only reminiscence
The happiness we spent
We used to dance on the music
Make romance through the music
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

Tu M'apportais Des Fleurs
Tu M'apportais Des Fleurs
Composer(s): A. & M. Bergman - Neil Diamond - Eddy Marnay
Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu
Tu m'apportais des fleurs tu ne m'en offre plus
Tu ne m'accueilles plus comme avant
Lorsque j'ouvre la porte le soir en rentrant
Je me souviens quand
Tu m'éveillais chaque nuit tu me parlais en ami
Mais plus rien n'est pareil et souvent
Tu éteins la lampe un peu plus tôt qu'avant
Et sans dire un seul mot tu dors loin de moi
Mais tu m'apportais des fleurs autrefois
C'était des fleurs si naturelles
Quand on s'aimait pour toujours
Mais quand le temps porte l'amour
Il emporte les fleurs et les tue en un jour
Aujourd'hui je me souviens tu voulais m'apprendre
M'apprendre à chanter et m'apprendre à sourire
J'ai appris à t'aimer j'ai appris à mentir
Mais je n'ai pas appris à me priver de toi
Car tu m'apportais des fleurs autrefois
Mais je n'ai pas appris à me priver de toi
Car tu voulais me garder tu vivais près de moi
Tu m'apportais des fleurs autrefois

C'est La Même Chanson
C'est La Même Chanson
((Adapted from: It's The Same Old Song (Four Tops) - 1965))
Composer(s): Lamont Dozier - Brian Holland - Eddie Holland - Claude François - Colette Rivat
Performer(s): Claude François - 1971
Ces mots là, ça parait trop simple
Mais ils sont vrais et puis c'est mon histoire
Oui ces mots là et un peu de musique
Et c'est la chanson que tout le monde
Peut chanter un soir
Et ce soir cette mélodie
Me rappelle un amour qui vivait autrefois
Oui, c'est la même chanson
Mais la différence c'est que toi tu n'es plus là
Oui, c'est la même chanson
Mais la différence c'est que toi tu ne l'entends pas
Je suis vraiment fou d'écouter cette chanson
Et de pleurer tout seul comme un idiot
Mais elle me poursuit inlassablement
Me rappelant le temps où tout me semblait beau
Nous avons dansé des nuits entières
On s'aimait pour toujours
Mais ça c'était hier
Oui, c'est la même chanson
Mais la différence c'est que toi tu n'es plus là
Oui, c'est la même chanson
Mais la différence c'est que toi tu ne l'entends pas
Toutes ces choses, j'ai voulu te les dire
Pour que tu saches combien tu m'as rendu heureux
Bien sur j'ai souffert, j'ai même cru en mourir
Mais ça valait la peine, c'était merveilleux
On dansait sur cette musique
On a fait l'amour sur cette musique
Oui, c'est la même chanson
Mais la différence c'est que toi tu n'es plus là
Oui, c'est la même chanson
Mais la différence c'est que toi tu ne l'entends pas
Non, non, tu ne l'entends plus
Mais c'est la même chanson
Mais la différence c'est que toi tu n'es plus là
C'est la même chanson
Mais la différence c'est que toi tu ne l'entends pas
Oui, c'est la même chanson ...
