Oh, Please
Lend your little ear to my pleas
Lend a ray of cheer to my pleas
Tell me that you love me too
Please
Let me hold you tight in my arms
I could find delight in your charms
Every night my whole life through
Your eyes reveal that you have the soul of
An angel white as snow
How long must I play the role of
A gloomy Romeo?
Oh, Please
Say you're not intending to please
Speed that happy ending and please
Tell me that you love me too.
Your eyes reveal that you have the soul of
An angel white as snow
How long must I play the role of
A gloomy Romeo?
Oh, please
Say you're not intending to tease
Speed that happy ending and please
Tell me that you love me too

Pleasant Valley Sunday


Pleasant Valley Sunday
Composer(s): Gerry Goffin; Carole King
Performer(s): The Monkees;
and various other artists



The local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn their song
Seranade the weekend squire
Who just came out to mow his lawn

Another pleasant valley Sunday (Sunday)
Charcoal burning everywhere
Rows of houses that are all the same
And no one seems to care

See Mrs. Gray, she's proud today
Because her roses are in bloom
Mr. Green, he's so serene
He's got a T.V. in every room

Another pleasant valley Sunday (Sunday)
Here in status symbol land
Mothers complain about how hard life is
And the kids just don't understand

Creature comfort goals
They only numb my soul
And make it hard for me to see
(Ah, ah ,ah, ah)
My thoughts all seem to stray
Somewhere far away
I need a change of scenery

Ta-ta-ta-ta
Ta-ta-ta-ta
Ta-ta-ta-ta
Ta-ta-ta-ta
Ta-ta-ta-ta
Ta-ta-ta-ta
Ta-ta-ta-ta
Ta-ta-ta-ta

Another pleasant valley Sunday (Sunday)
Charcoal burning everywhere
Another pleasant valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land

Another pleasant valley Sunday

Another pleasant valley Sunday

Moja Generacija


Moja Generacija
First performance by: Korni Grupa - 1974



Iznenada kobne noci te, 42, godine
Cinilo se kao da ce sneg
A stigao je rat
I vojnik neki tudj i strah

Mene majka moja rodi da sanjam o slobodi
U prvoj noci da cujem zveket
Da placem sa rukom na usnama

Moja generacija iz 42-ge
Dobro je progurala, burne dane te

Moja generacija iz 42-ge
U to je vreme spavala i ceznula za mlekom

Sad je vreme sasvim drugo i put svoj svako ima
Što god smo dalje sve više hocu
Da znam gde zivi, gde pije, peva, gde je sad?

Moja generacija iz 42-ge
Sva se vec pozenila i cuva slatku decu
Moja generacija iz 42-ge
Sva se uozbiljila, jer tako mora biti

Pleamar


Pleamar
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



Celeste era el mar
celeste era yo
pincelada de alas blancas
bajo un sol en borrador
sereno era el mar
sereno era yo
de afuera pa´ dentro
vuela esta canción

Así fue que en esa playa
tomé una caña para pescar
mi anzuelo cruzaba el cielo
como un lucero que cae al mar
abajo casi ignorantes
de mi intención nobles habitantes
haber quién es el primero en picar
yo lo sentí por aquí
o lo sentí por allá
parece que una jaiba quiere jugar

Celeste era el mar, celeste era yo
una brisa fina
un cangrejo que lima su brazo gladiador
sereno era el mar, ansioso era yo
planeta de agua busca el fuego del sol

Y así fue pasando el tiempo
y el firmamento empezó a girar
la luz llegaba desde arriba
y el mar traía un rumor Austral
abajo hablaban las caracolas
en espiral de olas y olas
mi anzuelo siguió caminando
el fondo del mar
yo lo sentí por aquí
o lo sentí por allá
vámonos despacito a otro lugar

Celeste era el mar, celeste era yo
la tarde que pasa
la Luna que baja silbando una canción
sereno era el mar, sereno era yo
parece que sólo he pescado
un rayo de sol…

Y así volviendo por la arena
sentí en las venas mi pleamar
el viento trajo desde el norte
rumor de voces y de ciudad
el faro inicia su alumbramiento
y en mi ventana tus ojos pequeños
navegaron esa noche de Luna y mar
y te sentí por aquí
me imaginé por allá
sirena y espuma blanca
magia en el mar…

Slippin' Around


Slippin' Around
Composer(s): Floyd Tillman
Performer(s): Jimmy Wakely & Margaret Whiting
and multiple other artists



Seems we always have to slip around
To be together, Dear
Slipping around
Afraid we might be found

I know I can't forget you
And I've gotta have you near
But we just have to
Slip around and live in constant fear

Oh, you're tied up with someone else
And I am all tied up, too
I know I've made mistakes, Dear
But I'm so in love with you

I hope some day I'll find a way
To bring you back to me
And I won't have to slip around
To have your company

Oh, you're tied up with someone else
And I'm all tied up, too
I know I've made mistakes, Dear
But I'm so in love with you

I hope some day I'll find a way
To bring you back to me
And I won't have to slip around
And I won't have to slip around
To have your company

Playmates


Playmates
Composer(s): Saxie Dowell
Performer(s): Kay Kyser;
and various other artists



There's a catchy little tune a floatin' through the air
You hear it here and there
They sing it ev'rywhere
How it started, where it started seems nobody knows
But what's the diff'rence where it came from
Here's the way it goes...

Oh Playmate, come out and play with me
And bring your dollies three
Climb up my apple tree
Look down my rain barrel
Slide down my cellar door
And we'll be jolly friends forever more

She could'nt come out and play
It was a sunny day
With tearful eye, she breathed a sigh
and I could hear her say
I'm sorry Playmate, I cannot play with you
My dollies have the flu
Boo-hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Ain't got no rain barrel
Aint got not cellar door
But we'll be friends forever more

Oh Playmate, come out and play with me
And bring your dollies three
Climb up my apple tree
Look down my rain barrel
Slide down my cellar door
And we'll be jolly friends forever more

Playing The Field


Playing The Field
Composer(s): Steve Allen
Performer(s): Andy Williams;
and various other artists



I’m playin’ the field
Some other guys
Ought to get wise
And do like me

I’m looking around
Playin’ it cool
Nobody’s fool
Feet on the ground

Oh, I’m playin’ the field
Walkin’ on air
I haven’t a care
The live long day

I’m feelin’ no pain
I’m makin’ no slips
Takin’ no trips
Down lovers lane

Oh, I can throw my clothes around
And come home late at night
And mess the papers up
Nobody cares
Sometimes it gets a little lonesome, true
But that’s alright
I never have to dust those empty chairs

Oh, I’m playin’ the field
Bachelor man
Long as I can
That’s what I’ll be

My, my future is sealed
I’m bidin’ my time
A-sister, and I’m
Playin’ the field

My, my, my, my, my future is sealed
I’m bidin’ my time
a-sister and I’m
playin’ the field
I’m playin’ the field

The First Day Of Love


The First Day Of Love
First performance by: Anne-Karine Ström - 1974



And today is the first day of living
'Understanding' - the word of the day
So with faith in the things we believe in
There will always be help on the way

We are changing the tide every hour
We are clearing the sky up above
And we know that with our newborn power
Every day is the first day of love

In our song - the final solution
We have used the words on the wall
Awaiting the love revolution
We all know the curtain will fall

Can't you feel the silent ovation?
Don't you know it's only the start?
In tune with your own generation
You are finding love in your heart

And today is the first day of living
'Understanding' - the word of the day
So, with faith in the things we believe in
There will always be help on the way

We are changing the tide every hour
We are clearing the sky up above
And we know that with our newborn power
Every day is the first day of love

Even though we're at the beginning
We are going down the same road
At last we can say we are winning
We have help to carry our load

And today is the first day of living
'Understanding' - the word of the day
So, with faith in the things we believe in
There will always be help on the way

We are changing the tide every hour
We are clearing the sky up above
And we know that with our newborn power
Every day is the first day of love

Playground Twist


Playground Twist
Composer(s): John McKay; Kenny Morris;
Steve Severin; Siouxsie And The Banshees
Performer(s): Siouxsie And The Banshees



Hanging....
Hanging from your daisy chains
Swinging in the trees
Running from your enemies
And falling on your knees
On your knees
Get down on your knees

Throw the dice
You three blind mice
Did you ever see
Such a thing in your life
You swallow the trail
But still arrive
Inside your entrails

Hanging....
Hanging out at party games
Dancing in the shadows
Up and down on the see-saw
Balancing the scales
You're drunk
Yet you're balancing the scales

Someone to blame
Someone to shame
Someone who you can claim
Go back the to pass the parcel
And follow the leader

Hanging....
Hanging from your climbing frames
Swinging in the gallows
Laughing with your buddies
But you can drown when you're shallow
You can drown....

Composer(s): Patrick Simmons
Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers



Down along the river, where the big bulrushes grow
you find the old frog jump in the water
He won't come up no more, babe
He won't come up no more, baby
He won't come up no more, woo
He won't come up no more, sugar mama
He won't come up no more

Smell that burnin' fire, baby, burnin' in the sand
See that devil rise, mama
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, now
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, baby
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, woo
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, sugar mama
He sho' wanna take yo' hand

Oh harvest moon keep shinin' your light down on me
The lord reach out his hand; my soul floats on out to thee

I don't feel no pain, when they shot me down
Lay my body out, baby
They put me in the ground, so cold
They put me in the ground, baby
They put me in the ground, woo
They put me in the ground, sugar mama
They put me in the ground

Playground In My Mind


Playground In My Mind
Composer(s): Paul Vance; Lee Pockriss
Performer(s): Clint Holmes;
and various other artists



When this old world gets me down and there's no love to be found
I close my eyes and soon I find I'm in a playground in my mind
Where the children laugh and the children play
And we sing a song all day

My name is Michael, I've got a nickel, I've got a nickel shiny and new
I'm gonna buy me all kinds of candy, that's what I'm gonna do

In the wonders that I find in the playground in my mind
In a world that used to be, close your eyes and follow me
Where the children laugh and the children play
And we'll sing a song all day

My girl is Cindy, when we get married we're gonna have a baby or two
We're gonna let them visit their grandma, that's what we're gonna do

(tag lines concurrent with background singers singing verses two and four)

Living in a world that I left behind
Happy little children
In the playground in my mind
See the little children
See how they play in the playground in my mind

Canta Y Sé Feliz


Canta Y Sé Feliz
First performance by: Peret - 1974



Alegría, si quéreis tener
cantar, alegría de vivir
para disfrutar, cantar
canta y sé feliz
Si la canción que yo canto
no te llena de alegría
por más cosas que te diga
no sirve de ná'
Si no tienes quien te quiera
ni a quien decirle te quiero
buscar amor con dinero
no sirve de ná'
Si eres tan inteligente
que nadie puede entenderte
enfadarte con la gente
no sirve de ná'
Si al sol no puedes tumbarte
y en paz tomar una copa
decir que estás en Europa
no sirve de ná'
No sirve de ná'
no sirve de ná'
no sirve de ná'
cantar a la vida
Si quéreis tener
cantar, alegría de vivir
para disfrutar, cantar
canta y sé feliz
Cantar conmigo para tener
cantar, alegría de vivir
para disfrutar, cantar
canta y sé feliz
Si para olvidar las penas
necesitas tomar vino
no lo hagas buen amigo
no sirve de ná'
Si le paras a una rubia
cuando vas por la autopista
y luego es un estopista
no sirve de ná'
No sirve de ná'
no sirve de ná'
no sirve de ná'
cantar a la vida
Si quéreis tener
cantar, alegría de vivir
para disfrutar, cantar
canta y sé feliz
Cantar conmigo para tener
cantar, alegría de vivir
para disfrutar, cantar
canta y sé feliz
Cantar
Ay, si queréis tener, cantar
alegría sí, cantar
que para disfrutar, cantar
canta y sé feliz
Cantar conmigo para tener
cantar, alegría de vivir
para disfrutar, cantar
canta y sé feliz
Cantar
Si quéreis tener
cantar, alegría de vivir
para disfrutar, cantar
canta y sé feliz
Canta y sé feliz
Canta y sé feliz
Cantar y cantar

Playful Melody


Playful Melody
Composer(s): Mel Leven



All of the bells in the town are ringin'
Say can't you hear all the people singin'
'Cause of the way the band can play that playful melody
Oh how your happy feet will wander
Onto the dancin' floor down yonder
When they play that playful melody
Happy as you are
find a little star
Place it in the sky above
Make it big and bright
and its shiny light
has to light the night
For those who fall in love
You'll see a field full of leaf clover
Your happiness has to bubble over
'Cause of the way the band will play that playful melody
'Cause of the way the band will play that playful melody

Slippers With Wings


Slippers With Wings
Composer(s): Willy Dalton; Randall Hylton
Performer(s): Charlie Waller; James Easter; Sheri Easter



Susie was three when she first blessed our home
We loved her as much as a child of our own
Her little legs were all twisted and frail
It was never meant for Susie to be well

In her little bed time prayers she would say
Lord I know you've been busy today
But if you get some time please pretty please
Can I have some slippers with wings

She'd love to watch the kids in the playground nearby
They'd call Susie's name she would wave and say hi
Tiny teardrops would leave the window stained
It was never meant for Susie to complain

She would say to her brown puppy dog
Little Skippy I know it won't be long
Till I run and play tag like my friends
God sending me pretty slippers with wings

Susie turned four and her little legs turned weak
Pain took it's tole and the colour left her cheeks
Christmas eve came and we gathered around Susie's bed
And these are the last words she said

Mommy, mommy there's a man dressed in white
Daddy look he is shinny and bright
And he's holding some ribbons and some string
Around a pretty pair of slippers with wings

And if ever I am certain of one certain thing
Susie's wearing golden slippers with wings

'Cause I can't stand for what you're puttin down
Fooling around with every girl in town

Cause this is one fish you'll never ever hook
You left the others standing with their hearts in pain
And now you're coming round trying to do me the same

So Playboy I've seen your kind
Winning every girl with that same old line
So Playboy stay away from my door
I know about the lovers you had before

He's bringing you false joy

Watch out here comes that Playboy

Long Live Love (Olivia Newton-John)


Long Live Love
Composer(s): Valerie Avon; Harold Spiro
First performance by: Olivia Newton-John - 1974



Long, long live love
Love is to care
Caring and sharing
Long, long live love

All the kids like ten tin soldiers in a row
Followed hand in hand
Sister Anna carrying the banner for the Sally Annie band
Singing songs of praise and glory
We all learn to love their story
Good things are coming to you
Glory, glory hallelujah

Long, long live love
As long as we live
Living and giving
Long, long live love

On a wet day, dry day, great to be alive day
Brother takes the stand
Cymbals ringing, everybody singing with the Sally Annie band
Just a band of happy people
Teaching, preaching love is equal
When you feel the spirit move you
Glory, glory hallelujah

Long, long live love
Love is to care
Caring and sharing
Long, long live love, love, love, love, love
Ohhh
Long, long live love
As long as we live
Living forgiving
Long, long live love
