Hello, Hello


Hello, Hello
French Version: Hello Hello! (Joe Dassin)
Composer(s): Peter Kraemer; T. MacNeil
Performer(s): The Sopwith Camel



Hello hello
I like your smile
Hello hello
Shall we talk awhile?
Would you like some of my tangerine?
I know I'll never treat you mean
Never knew how I'd meet you
Didn't know how to greet you
When I saw you look that way
I knew I had to say
Hello hello hello hello
You've got pretty hair
Hello hello
Can'tcha tell I care?
Would you like some of my tangerine?
I know I'll never treat you mean
Always longed to say I love you
Always been too high above you
Now I'm not so far away
Now at last I can say
Hello hello Hello Hello

He loves and she loves and they love so why can't
You love and I love too?

Birds love and bees love and whispering trees love
And that's what we both should do

I always knew someday you'd come along
We'll make a twosome that just can't go wrong, darling

He loves and she loves and they love so won't you
Love me as I love you

Tell Me Why (Elvis Presley)


Tell Me Why
Composer(s): Titus Iurner
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



Every time I look at someone new
Tell me why I think of you
Then you sometimes ask me by
You're playing with love
Darling tell me why

You left me all alone
To cry over you
My heart is torn and broken
There's nothing left to do

In my prayers, I'll mention you
When you're gone I feel so blue
Why can't I have all of you
Oh, somebody, please tell me why

Hello Hello!


Hello Hello!
English Version: Hello, Hello (The Sopwith Camel)
Composer(s): Peter Kraemer; Claude Lemesle; T. MacNeil
Performer(s): Joe Dassin



Hello, hello, tu as l'air pressé
Hello, hello, j'ai à te parler
Est-ce que tu veux un quartier de ma clementine
Les fruits c'est bon pour la santé

J'avais besoin de dire "je t'aime"
Il était temps que tu viennes
Je ne pouvais plus tenir
J'avais ces deux mots à te dire

Hello, hello, où vas-tu comme ça
Hello, hello, c'est gentil chez moi

J'ai cherché des nuits entières
Comment je pourrais te plaire
Mais quand je t'ai vu venir
J'ai su que je devais dire

Hello, hello, j'aime tes cheveux
Hello, hello, souris-moi un peu

Est-ce que tu veux terminer ma clementine
Dis, j'en ai d'autres si tu veux
Oui, j'en ai d'autres si tu veux

He Must Have Been Eighteen


He Must Have Been Eighteen ((Adapted from: Il Venait D'avoir 18 Ans (Dalida) - 1974)) Composer(s): Pascal Auriat - Pascal Sevran - Serge Lebrail - Krissen Performer(s): Dalida - 1974

Versions In Other Languages: 1974 - Hij Was Pas Achttien (Conny Vandenbos) 1974 - Er War Gerade 18 Jahr (Dalida) 1974 - Diciotto Anni (Dalida) 1974 - Juuhassai No Kare (Dalida)



I think he must have been eighteen
He was as fragile as a dream
Strong as a man
Seeing the summer in his eyes
I felt my autumn as it flies
Like grains of sand

I added make-up to my face
As if to cover some disgrace
I saw him smiling
Rainbows and colours of the spring
I would have given anything
To win his loving

I think he must have been eighteen
A movie star on any screen
It made him careless
He never said a word of love
He thought that speaking about love
Was only worthless

And then as if the line were new
He simply whispered, "I want you
Let's stay together"
We drifted slowly through the night
I never knew a love more right
Not since, not ever

I think he must have been eighteen
It made him vain and almost mean
His looks abusing
Without a word he slowly dressed
Leaving me to my loneliness
My share of losing

I could have tried to make him mine
I let him go without a sign
My face was lying
He said, I am not the kind to fall
Love is for grown-ups after all
I felt like crying

I added make-up to my face
As if to cover some disgrace
I saw him smiling
I had forgotten in a dream
That I was almost twice eighteen

What goes up must come down (cowbell enters)
Spinning wheel got to go 'round (full drum kit enters)
Talking 'bout your troubles it's a crying sin
Ride a painted pony let the Spinning wheel spin

You got no money and you got no home
Spinning wheel all alone
Talking 'bout your troubles and you never learn
Ride a painted pony let the Spinning wheel turn

Did you find the directing sign on the
Straight and narrow highway
Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colours that are real

Someone is waiting just for you
Spinning wheel, Spinning true
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
(1: Catch a painted pony on the spinning wheel ride)
(2: Ride a painted pony let the spinning wheel fly)

Hello! Hello! Who's Your Lady Friend?


Hello! Hello! Who's Your Lady Friend?
Composer(s): Worton David; Bert Lee; Harry Fragson



Jeremiah Jones, a ladies' man was he
Every pretty girl he loved to spoon
Still he found a wife along beside the sea
Went to Margate for the honeymoon
But when he strolled along the promenade
with his little wife just newly wed
He got an awful scare when someone strolling there
Came up to him and said

"Hello! Hello! Who's your lady friend?
Who's the little girl by your side?
I've seen you with a girl or two
Oh! Oh! Oh! I'm (I am) surprised at you

Hello! Hello! Stop your little games
Don't you think your ways you ought to mend?
It (This) isn't the girl I saw you with at Brighton
Who? Who? Who's your lady friend?

Without sunshine or sight to lead the way
But a whisper of His voice softly calling
To the arms of my Maker to stay

He is my reason for living
Oh He is the king of all kings
I long to be His possession
Oh, He is my everything

After the lighting and thunder
After the last bell has rung
I want to bow down before Him
And hear Him say well done

He is my reason for living
Oh He is the king of all kings
I long to be His possession
Oh, He is my everything

24 ore spese bene con amore!

Sai che un cielo azzurro dura fino a sera, poi la notte arrivera
Una primavera sai, in un'ora avrai
se verrai con me a guardare
i colori dell'amore!

Chi promette troppo, poi non fa
scegli me: la verita
no, io non mento
solo questo avrai
24 ore spese bene con amore!

Chi promette troppo, poi non fa
scegli me: la verita
no, io non mento
solo questo avrai
24 ore spese bene con amore!

Hello! Boys, I'm Back Again


Hello! Boys, I'm Back Again
Composer(s): Harry Von Tilzer
Performer(s): Dan W. Quinn



Hello boys remember when I said goodbye to you
I got married but it didn't take and I am through
Though love is blind my eyes were opened on my wedding day
I found that she had seven kids and each one had his day
When the preacher made us one she thought
She was the one and I was just a nun

Hello boys, I'm back again
You know how glad I am to meet you greet you
I'm through with matrimony
I'm dodging alimony
Hip hooray, say, the world began today
For I don't have to go to bed at nine
With her icy feet upon my spine
No more sneaking home at three
Going through the third degree
Hello boys, I'm back again

I have lived a dog's life since my wedding day you see
Yes they must have handed out a dog license to me
Instead of wedding cake I must have eaten lemon pie
I had her life insured but just for spite she wouldn't die
She missed me round the house at eight
But never missed me when she threw a plate

Hello boys, I'm back again
You know how glad I am to meet you greet you
I'm through with matrimony
I'm dodging alimony
Hip hooray, say, the world began today
For I fed chickens that would lay for me
And I also fed her family
I can pick a chicken too
Not the kind that lay for you
Hello boys, I'm back again

Home sweet home, a grand old song, I sing it when I can
But the guy who wrote it never was a married man
I used to stay at home all day and hold her hand you see
For if I didn't hold it she'd let something fly at me
One day her mother came with us to dwell
The landlord raised the rent and I raised, well

Hello boys, I'm back again
You know how glad I am to meet you greet you
I'm through with matrimony
Those wedding bells are phony
Hip hooray, say, the world began today
No more commuting to that old resort
Where henpecking was my indoor sport
If some chicken's in distress
You can give her my adress
Hello boys, I'm back again

He Hit Me (And It Felt Like A Kiss)


He Hit Me (And It Felt Like A Kiss)
Composer(s): Gerry Goffin; Carole King
Performer(s): The Crystals;
and various other artists



He hit me
And it felt like a kiss
He hit me
But it didn't hurt me

He couldn't stand to hear me say
That I'd been with someone new
And when I told him I had been untrue

He hit me
And it felt like a kiss
He hit me
And I knew he loved me

If he didn't care for me
I could have never made him mad
But he hit me
And I was glad

Yes, he hit me
And it felt like a kiss
He hit me
And I knew I loved him
And then he took me in his arms
With all the tenderness there is
And when he kissed me
He made me his

7th Wonder


7th Wonder
Composer(s): Philip Vella - Gerard James Borg
First performance by: Ira Losco - 2002



Seven degrees
I'm down on my knees
Waiting for the man to put me under his spell

Seven o' five
He walks into sight
Givin' me the eye, he lifts my spirits high

His passion burns and my luck takes a turn
I'm reborn and alive with his love to survive

Is it good? Is it bad?
Am I simply going mad?
Is it fiction or fact?
Am I really losing tact?
Is he magical, logical, natural? I wonder
He's got the makings of my seventh wonder
Ooh hoo... hoo... hoo...

Seventy three kisses for me
That whisper through the silence his feelings for me
Softly he dips my cherry-red lips
In the essence of a hope on which my love can float

His passion burns and my luck takes a turn
I'm reborn and alive with his love to survive

Is it good? Is it bad?
Am I simply going mad?
Is it fiction or fact?
Am I really losing tact?
Is he magical, logical, natural? I wonder
He's got the makings of my seventh wonder

On seven seas we sail on this dream
Turning it into virtual reality
Reality

Is it good? Is it bad?
Am I simply going mad?
Is it fiction or fact?
Am I really losing tact?
(Is he magical?) Magical
(Logical, natural? I wonder)
He's got the makings of my seventh wonder

Am I weak? Am I strong?
In his arms do I belong?
I could climb mountain high
For his love I'd learn to fly
Is he magical, logical, natural? I wonder
He's got the makings of my seventh wonder
(Is he fiction or a matter of fact?)
Seventh wonder
(Is he fiction or a matter of fact?)
Seventh wonder

Hello Walls


Hello Walls
Composer(s): Willie Nelson
Performer(s): Willie Nelson;
and various other artists



Hello, walls - (hello) (hello)
How'd things go for you today
Don't you miss her
Since she up and walked a way
And I'll bet you dread to spend
Another lonely night with me
Lonely walls
I'll keep you company

Hello, window - (hello) (hello)
Well I see that you're still here
Aren't you lonely
Since our darlin' disappeared
Well, look here, is that a teardrop
In the corner of your pane
Now, don't you try
To tell me that it's rain

She went away and left us all alone
The way she planned
Guess we'll have to learn to get along
Without her if we can

Hello, ceiling - (hello) (hello)
I'm gonna stare at you awhile
You know I can't sleep
So won't you bear with me awhile
We must all stick together or else
I'll lose my mind
I've got a feelin'
She'll be gone a long, long time

He Had A Long Chain On


He Had A Long Chain On
Composer(s): Jimmie Driftwood
Performer(s): Jimmie Driftwood;
and various other artists



One night as I lay on my pillow
Moonlight as bright as the dawn
I saw a man come walkin'
He had a long chain on
I heard his chains a-clankin'
They made a mournful sound
Welded around his body
Draggin' along on the ground

He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on

He came and stood by my window
He looked at me and he said
I am so tired and hungry
Give me a bite of your bread
He didn't look like a robber
He didn't look like a thief
His voice was as soft as the moonlight
A face full of sorrow and grief

He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on

I went into my kitchen
Fetched him a bowl full of meat
A drink and a pan of cold biscuits
That's what I gave him to eat
Though he was tired and hungry
A bright light came over his face
He bowed his head in the moonlight
He said a beautiful grace

He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on

I got my hammer and chisel
Offered to set him free
He shook his head and said softly
I guess we had best let it be
When he'd finished his supper
He thanked me again and again
Though it's been years since I've seen him
Still hear him draggin' that chain

He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on

Spinning Around (I Must Be Falling In Love)
Composer(s): Donald McPherson - Luther Simmons Jr. - Tony Silvester
Performer(s): The Main Ingredient



I'm spinning around and around ooh
I'm walking on cloud nine
I'm just about to blow my cool
If I don't unwind

I'm spinning around
Spinning around
Spinning around
Spinning around
I must be falling in love
Baby
I must be falling in love
'Round and around and around

I'm spinning around I can't stop
I've lost my self-control
I'm spinning around 'til I drop
I'm whipped down to the soul

I'm spinning around
Spinning around
Spinning around
Spinning around
I must be falling in love
Baby
I must be falling in love

Turning around
I'm upside-down
Like a feather swift
The wind will blow my mind
The wind will blow my mind
Won't let me stop

Spinning around
Spinning around
Spinning around
Spinning around
I must be falling in love
Baby
I must be falling in love
I'm falling
I must be falling in love
Baby
I must be falling in love

He Don't Love You (Like I Love You)


He Don't Love You (Like I Love You)
Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield; Calvin Carter; Jerry Butler
Performer(s): Tony Orlando



Chorus:
He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's tryin' to tear us apart

Fare thee well, I know you're leavin' (I know you're leavin')
For the new love that you've found
The handsome guy that you've been dating, whoa
I got a feelin' he's gonna put you down.....'cause

Chorus

He uses all the great quotations
Says the things I wish I could say
Whoa, but he's had so many rehearsals
Girl, to him it's just another play.....but wait

When the final act is over
And you're left standing all alone
When he takes his bow and makes his exit
Girl, I'll be there to take you home

He don't love you (and he never will) like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
Oh, he don't love you, girl, like I love you
He's tryin' to tear us apart

Whoa, he don't love you like I love you
If he did......

I Can't Live Without Music


I Can't Live Without Music
Composer(s): Ralph Siegel - Bernd Meinunger
First performance by: Corinna May - 2002



You're my song in the morning, you're the rhythm of my heartbeat at night
And the sound of love I hear in your voice keeps on touching me deep inside
You are the air that I breathe and the gentle tune of whisperin' trees
You're the only melody that's in my soul and in my mind all the time

I can't live without music, only you keep me goin' along
I can't live without music and the power that's deep in your song
You're the one and only thing I couldn't do without
Makes me wanna sing and dance and shout

We can't live without music, we can't live without music
It's a rainbow in the night, turns darkness into light
It's everything we really need
We can't live without music, and if ever we lose it
That's when everybody, just everybody, starts getting the blues
(We can't live without music) 'cause it's freedom to me and to you

So let the music touch your heart in times when men are worlds apart
'Cause only love can heal the dream that's hidden in our souls
And hand in hand we'll walk along, we'll be united by a peaceful song
And we'll live all together

(We can't live without music, we can't live without music)
I can't live without music, I can't live without music
And if anybody, just anybody, is asking me why
Music makes me feel like flyin', gives me hope when I'm a-cryin'
I believe without it I would die

Hello 'Tucky


Hello 'Tucky
Composer(s): Buddy DeSylva; James Hanley; Joseph Meyer
Performer(s): Al Jolson



Like all Kentucky boys longing for the city joys
I left the farm and started to roam
Like all Kentucky boy get sick of all the city noise
I heard Kentucky calling me home
Any thrill you get when you are leaving
Seven times the thrill when you return

You're saying Hello, `Tucky, `Tucky, hello
Hello `Tucky, why did I go?
What I've been through to get to you
Now I have found you
Let me put my arms around you
Shady bowers, valleys and hills
Pretty flowers, nothing but thrills
I'm glad I went astraying
To get that kick of saying
Hello, `Tucky, hello

Hello, `Tucky, `Tucky, hello
Hello `Tucky, why did I go?
What I've been through to get to you
Now I have found you
Let me put my arms around you
Shady bowers, valleys and hills
Pretty flowers, nothing but thrills
I'm glad I went astraying
To get that kick of saying
Hello, `Tucky, hello

Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello `Tucky, `Tucky, hello
Hello `Tucky, why did I go?
What I've been through to get to you
Now I have found you
Let me put my arms around you
Shady, shady bowers, valleys and hills
Pretty flowers, nothing but thrills
I'm glad I went astraying
To get that kick of saying

He Doesn't Care (But I Do)


He Doesn't Care (But I Do)
Composer(s): Robin Grean; Kevin DiSimone
Performer(s): Barry Manilow



So all alone
Little girl blue
You tell me the tale
And stand there crying
I'm here for you
You know that I care
Listening to you
Inside I'm dying
Your heart may be breaking
But my heart is breaking too

He doesn't care if you're all alone
But I do
He doesn't care if you come back home
But I do, yes I do
Why can't you feel it too

I'm your best friend
A brother you say
Hurting me so
To see your sorrow
Knew all along
He's not for you
Sadness and tears
But tomorrow
You'll see how I need you
And maybe you'll need me too

He doesn't care if he breaks your heart
But I do
He doesn't care if you fall apart
But I do

Oh, don't throw your love away
On someone who doesn't deserve it
If you belonged to me I'd love you more each day
I'd take you and make you believe what I say
