Dancing Bear


Dancing Bear
Composer(s): John Phillips
Performer(s): The Mamas & The Papas;
Avalon Rising; Broceliande



I wouldn't want to be a chimney sweep
All black from head to foot
From climbing in them chimneys
And cleaning out that soot
With a broom and ladder and pail
The darkened walls I scale
And far..and high...
I see a patch of sky

I'd rather be the gypsy
(I'd rather be the gypsy)
Whose camped at the edge of town
(Camped at the edge of town)
The one who has the dancing bear
That follows him around
And he lifts his big foot up
He puts his big foot down
And bows...and twirls...
And dances `round and `round

I found I was a cabin boy last night as I did dream
Bound upon a magic ship for a land I'd never seen
And the moon she filled our sails
And the stars they steered out course
And on our bow there was a golden horse

The queen eats fruit and candy; the bishop nuts and cheese
And when I am a grown man, I'll taste just what I please
The honey from the bee, the shellfish from the sea
The earth, the wind, a girl, someone to share these things with me

I wouldn't want to be a chimney sweep...
(I'd rather be the gypsy ...)
(I dreamed I was a cabin boy ...)

Stuck On You (Ray Stevens)


Stuck On You
Composer(s): Ray Stevens
Performer(s): Ray Stevens



Well it all started back
About a week or two
I bought this instant Wonder Glue
I'd seen it work on TV and I just had to try me some

Well when I got home
I spilled the stuff
And I reached for a towel to wipe it up
And that towel stuck to my hand like another thumb

And as if that wasn't trouble enough
Here come Rover chasing Fluff

And that cat jumped up
And stuck right to my knee

(He doesn't have a knee!)

Well I reached down to hold the dog away
And I touched his ear and that's where my hand stayed
And he lit out a yelping dragging the cat and me

Well running through the house
We knocked the bird cage down

And the parakeet got loose and was flying all around
And finally landed and stuck to the top of my head

And I was tryin' to be careful, but I just wasn't able
And we were stickin' to ashtrays, lamps n tables
And I was wishin' that I had bought a roll
Of Duct Tape instead

Well I finally fell exhausted into a chair
And then you came in and found me there
With the bird on my head and my hand on the dog
And the cat stuck to my knee

And you said the scene looked
Heaven sent that I looked like a man perfectly content
A regular St. Francis of Asissi
And before I could stop you
You laid a big kiss on me

Now Honey, I'm stuck on you
Yes I'm stuck on you
I'm stuck to the dog
And stuck to the cat
And stuck to the parakeet too

Ever since I bought that tube of
Instant Wonder Glue
Everything has stuck on me
And now I'm stuck on you

Well I got to thinkin' sittin' there that day
How did they make that stuff anyway
I mean there must be workers
Stuck all over the factory

I bet there's shoes on the floor and shirts on the walls
And hat's on the ceiling and all up and down the halls
Why just gettin' this stuff in the tube
Has got to be a miracle to see

Now if we could ever make it to the telephone
And get the paramedics out to our home
Maybe they could surgically remove you and the dog
And the cat and the parakeet

And as soon as we're all healed up enough
We're gonna sneak into the plant where they make that stuff
And for revenge we'll put instant Wonder Glue
On all their toilet seats

Hee Hee Hee ...

Until then I'm stuck on you
Yes I'm stuck on you
I'm stuck to the dog
And stuck to the cat
And stuck to the parakeet too

Ever since I bought that tube of Instant Wonder Glue
Everything has stuck on me and now I'm stuck on you
Ohhh, I'm stuck on you, yes I'm stuck on you
I'm stuck to the dog and stuck to the cat
And stuck to the parakeet too

Ever since I bought that tube of Instant Wonder Glue
Everything has stuck on me and now I'm stuck on you

Als De Zon Schijnt


Als De Zon Schijnt
Composer(s): R. Ortolani; M. Franc; André van Duin
Performer(s): André van Duin



Als ie boven aan de hemel staat is 't net of alles beter gaat
Alles ziet er anders uit als de zon schijnt
Iedereen komt uit z'n winterslaap door die mooie rooie koperen knaap
Alles ziet er anders uit als de zon schijnt
Niemand is zich meer van kwaad bewust, alle narigheid wordt uitgeblust
O wat is het leven fijn als de zon schijnt
En de allergrootste pessimist wordt een veelgevraagde humorist
O wat is het leven fijn als de zon schijnt

Heel de wereld is een bloemtapijt, en de buurvrouw een mooie meid
Alles ziet er anders uit als de zon schijnt
Zilveren vogels vliegen door de lucht, ieder drama wordt een dolle klucht
Alles ziet er anders uit als de zon schijnt
Alle ziekenhuizen raken leeg, en de bakkersvrouw rolt door het deeg
O wat is het leven fijn als de zon schijnt
Ja, de wereld krijgt een nieuwe kleur, overal hangt zo'n zalig, zoete geur
O wat is het leven fijn als de zon schijnt

O wat is het leven fijn als de zon schijnt
En terrasjes zitten overvol, alle mensen raken uit hun bol
O wat is het leven fijn in de zon
Als de zon er toch niet was geweest was er nooit een reden voor een feest
O wat is het leven fijn als de zon schijnt

Ana De Amsterdam


Ana De Amsterdam
Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Rey Guerra
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Sou Ana do dique e das docas
Da compra, da venda, da troca de pernas
Dos braços, das bocas, do lixo, dos bichos, das fichas
Sou Ana das loucas
Até amanhã
Sou Ana
Da cama, da cana, fulana, bacana
Sou Ana de Amsterdam

Eu cruzei um oceano
Na esperança de casar
Fiz mil bocas pra Solano
Fui beijada por Gaspar

Sou Ana de cabo a tenente
Sou Ana de toda patente, das Índias
Sou Ana do oriente, ocidente, acidente, gelada
Sou Ana, obrigada
Até amanhã, sou Ana
Do cabo, do raso, do rabo, dos ratos
Sou Ana de Amsterdam

Arrisquei muita braçada
Na esperança de outro mar
Hoje sou carta marcada
Hoje sou jogo de azar

Sou Ana de vinte minutos
Sou Ana da brasa dos brutos na coxa
Que apaga charutos
Sou Ana dos dentes rangendo
E dos olhos enxutos
Até amanhã, sou Ana
Das marcas, das macas, da vacas, das pratas
Sou Ana de Amsterdam

Dancing Barefoot


Dancing Barefoot
Composer(s): Ivan Kral; Patti Smith
Originally performed by: Patti Smith
Covered by various other artists



She is benediction
She is addicted to thee
She is the root connection
She is connecting with he

Here I go and I don't know why
I fell so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taking over me...

Chorus:
I'm dancing barefoot
Heading for a spin
Some strange music draws me in
Makes me come on like some heroin/e

She is sublimation
She is the essence of thee
She is concentrating on
He, who is chosen by she

Here I go and I don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taking over me...

(Chorus)

She is re-creation
She, intoxicated by thee
She has the slow sensation that
He is levitating with she...

Here I go and I don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taking over me...

(Chorus)

(Oh God I fell for you)

The plot of our lives sweats in the dark like a face
The mystery of childbirth, of childhood itself
Grave visitations
What is it that calls to us?
Why must we pray screaming?
Why must not death be redefined?
We shut our eyes and we stretch out our arms
and whirl on a pane of glass
An afixiation a fix on anything
The line of life the limb of a tree
The hands of he and the promise that she is blessed among women

Ana Ariki


Ana Ariki
Composer(s): Fernando Ubiergo
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



Cuenta la leyenda que una noche sin estrellas
Ana Ariki de la isla se marchó
y le dijo a Tongaroki espera volveré
algún día volveré

Tongaroki, como un loco, corre por la playa
de Anakena tras la huella
que ella le dejó al partir
Tongaroki sabe que ella nunca volverá
que otro mundo fue a buscar

Ana Ariki volverá, Ana Ariki por el mar
Make Make la traerá a la isla llegará
Ana Ariki hokiro mai
Ana Ariki aroto i te vai
Make Make e mauro mai
qui Rapa Nui tu uro mai

Con sus manos rudas y con materia del volcán
una figura de piedra le construyó
porque todo el tiempo
las piedras pueden esperar
pero no un corazón…

Y una tarde de invierno sólo se le vio
alejarse entre las olas
como persiguiendo al sol
y en la isla queda una silueta sin hablar
cuerpo de piedra ojos de sal…

Ana Ariki volverá, Ana Ariki por el mar
Make Make la traerá
a la isla llegará
Ana Ariki hokiro mai
Ana Ariki aroto i te vai
Make Make e mauro mai
qui Rapa Nui tu uro mai

Dancin' Shoes


Dancin' Shoes
Composer(s): Carl Storie
Performer(s): Nigel Olsson



Too many long converstaions
And no one is hearing a word
Just trying to escape the frustrations
Till a song in the night can be heard

Put on your dancin' shoes
Throw out those one night blues
Here's one to love and to chance
For a spin on that wheel of romance

Too slow to unriddle all your problems
Too lonely for someone to care
Long, lonely silence keeps haunting
Till the song in the night finds you there

Put on your dancin' shoes
Throw out those one night blues
And here's one to love and to chance
For a spin on that wheel
Spin on that wheel
Spin on that wheel of romance

A face like an angel, she's waiting
She smiles and looks over at you
You yearn for this situation
Now finally your dreams have come true

Put on your dancin' shoes
Sweep her away with you
'Cause here's one to love and to share
Caught on that wheel
Caught on that wheel
Caught on that wheel of romance

Put on your dancin' shoes
Put on your dancin' shoes
Sweep her away with you
Put on your dancin' shoes
Sweep her away with you
You, you, oh, you

Put on your dancin' shoes
Put on your dancin' shoes

An Old Straw Hat


An Old Straw Hat
From the film "Rebecca Of Sunnybrook Farm" (1938)
Composer(s): Harry Revel - Mack Gordon
Performer(s): Shirley Temple; Bunny Berigan & His Orch.; Maria Muldaur



What is all this dizzy busy hustling for
People running helter-skelter on their way
What is all this hazy crazy bustling for
No time to notice it's a sunny day

Why don't you take a vacation
Looks like you've got to have relaxation
Aw, come on, forget your troubles for a while
Why don't you try to feel like I do

If I had one wish to make
This is the wish I would choose
I'd want an old straw hat
A suit of overalls
And a worn out pair of shoes

Just let me roam around
Laughing at big city blues
With an old straw hat
A suit of overalls
And a worn out pair of shoes

Howdy, Mister Brown
Ho-hum!
Goin' fishin'? Hope you get a bite
Howdy Mister Jones!
Ho-hum!
How's about a hay ride Saturday night?

Sing hi-ho the merri-o
What've you got, what've you got to lose
Get an old straw hat
A suit of overalls
And a worn out pair of shoes

An Old Log Cabin For Sale


An Old Log Cabin For Sale
Composer(s): J.W. Payte
Performer(s): Porter Wagoner; Marvin Gaster



While strolling along in the country
Reviewing the scenes new and old
I found an old-fashioned log cabin
So beautiful there to behold;
A stranger was standing in silence
His eyes firmly fixed on the door
My heart ached (in pity) or (and pitied) to see him
For these were the words that it bore

And the sign read "An old cabin for sale
An old oaken bucket and well"
F'he returns, just keep a log on the fire
And a light burning bright in the dell
Many years an old couple did patiently look

(so patiently looked)
For their boy whose last promise did fail
Now the old rockin' chair will be rocking no more
There's an old log cabin for sale

A welcome I read on the floor mat
An old braided rug by the door
The hands of an angel had made it
With many a prayer prayed before
In an old rockin' chair, long she waited
For one glimpse of him how she yearned
And now he was standing in silence
Too late, yes, too late he'd returned

And the sign read "An old cabin for sale
An old oaken bucket and well"
F'he returns, just keep a log on the fire
And a light burning bright in the dell
Many years an old couple did patiently look

There's ...no ...place ...like ...home

Just an Old Fashioned Love Song


Just an Old Fashioned Love Song ((aka An Old Fashioned Love Song (by Three Dog Night) - 1971))
Composer(s): Paul Williams
First release by: Paul Williams - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



Just an old-fashioned love song playin' on the radio
And wrapped around the music is the sound
Of someone promising they'll never go
You swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on and on
No need in bringin' `em back,
`Cause they're never really gone

Just an old-fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
Just an old-fashioned love song
Comin' down in 3-part harmony

To weave our dreams upon and listen to each evening
When the lights are low
To underscore our love affair
With tenderness and feeling that we've come to know
You swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on and on and
No need in bringin' `em back,
`Cause they're never really gone

Just an old-fashioned love song
Comin' down in 3-part harmony
Just an old-fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
Just an old-fashioned love song
Comin' down in 3-part harmony
Just an old-fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me

To weave our dreams upon and listening to a song ...

Composer(s): Burton Cummings; Domenic Troiano
Performer(s): The Guess Who



It was a Saturday night without a whole lot shakin'
Ooh my ooh my I was bored
I had my best duds on it was a chance worth takin'
somehow I was still ignored

Been too long since I been shy and lonely
Ooh, but that's okay
Need some gal to be my one and only
Ooh

I got a wink and a smile from a flashy filly
Ooh my ooh my she looked grand
She said "I like your style now don't go actin' silly"
Ooh my ooh she held my hand

Never thought that I could shake and grove it
Now I'm a Dancin' Fool
Dug my feet 'cause they could really move it
Ooh

She got the message across and me and her got kissin'
Ooh my ooh my havin' fun
I know that this is the thing that I been really missin'
One more dance has just begun

No more time for feelin' shy and lonely
Now I'm a Dancin' Fool
Found some gal to be my one and only
Ooh I'm a Dancin' Fool

Been too long since I been shy and lonely
Now I'm a Dancin' Fool (I'm a dancin' fool I'm a dancer)

An Old English Dream


An Old English Dream
Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum



They say this fair city has ten thousand souls
Some live in mansions
And some live in holes
Some eat from silver
And some eat from gold
Some sift through garbage
And sleep in the cold

I saw a great highway that stretched to the stars
I saw a deep river all choked up with cars
A babe in a cradle and a cat with the cream
An old English church yard and an old English dream

Once we had a country
And thought it so fair
If you look through the mirror
You can still find it there
But now our great country
Is broken and torn
And all of its promise
And liberties worn

I saw a great highway that stretched to the stars
I saw a deep river all choked up with cars
A babe in a cradle and a cat with the cream
An old English church yard and an old English dream

I saw a great plain in winter
All covered in snow
Ten thousand soldiers
That marched to and fro
I saw a broken down building
With ten thousand doors
But none of them open
And none of them yours

I saw a great highway that stretched to the stars
I saw a deep river all choked up with cars
A babe in a cradle and a cat with the cream
An old English church yard and an old English dream

Dancin'


Dancin'
Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller
Performer(s): Perry Como



Ho! the band stopped playin'
An' the couples stopped swayin'
But we kept on . . . dancin!

The lights went on
An' the crowd was gone
But we kept on . . . dancin!

The janitor said, "Please let me sweep the floor!"
So, I hummed a tune an' we danced right . . .
Thru the door!

It started rainin'
But we both were insane
An' we kept right . . . on dancin'

We looked a sight
By the traffic light
But we . . . kept on dancin'

The signal was red so we just tapped our feet
When the light turned green
Well, we danced across the street!

(Couples parked in cars were romancin')
They were romancin'
But we kept right in dancin!

(Ba bum ba bum bum')
Our clothes were drippin'
An' we couldn't help slippin'
But we kept right in dancin!

Our feet were sore
When we reached your door
But we kept right in dancin!

When I kissed ya goodnight
My heart started dancin' too
That's when I knew . . .
That I would dance my whole life thru
With only you . . .

With only you . . .

With only you . . .
My whole life thru
With only you . . .

Es war so ein Tag wie jeder andere
und doch mir schien daß er ganz anders war
denn du und ich wir gingen durch den Frühling
und ringsum war die Welt so wunderbar

An jenem Tag mein Freund da haben wir gemeint
die Zeit blieb stehn allein nur für uns zwei
doch ehe wir nachgedacht und alles wahrgemacht
da war der Tag für uns schon längst vorbei

La, la...

Und der Sommer kam ins Lamd gezogen
und es war ein langer heißer Tag
doch für mich ist er so schnell verflogen
als ich mit dir im Grase lag


An jenem Tag mein Freund da haben wir gemeint
die Zeit blieb stehn allein nur für uns zwei
doch ehe wir nachgedacht und alles wahrgemacht
da war der Tag für uns schon längst vorbei

La, la...

Und es wurde Herbst licht sind die Bäume
und mir blieb der Blumen welker Rest
verweht sind mit dem Wind auch unsere Träume
und keiner von uns beiden hielt sie fest

An jenem Tag mein Freund da haben wir gemeint
die Zeit blieb stehn allein nur für uns zwei
doch ehe wir nachgedacht und alles wahrgemacht
da war der Tag für uns schon längst vorbei

La, la...

Es war so ein Tag wie jeder andere
und doch ich weiß es gibt ihn niemals mehr
denn für alles was wir heut versäumen
gibt es morgen keine Wiederkehr


An jenem Tag mein Freund da haben wir gemeint
die Zeit blieb stehn allein nur für uns zwei
doch ehe wir nachgedacht und alles wahrgemacht
da war die Zeit für uns schon längst vorbei

Dancer With Bruised Knees


Dancer With Bruised Knees
Composer(s): Anna McGarrigle
Performer(s): Kate & Anna McGarrigle



When I first knew her she was a dancer
She'd leap (confidently)
Knowing that should she fall
It would be into the arms of her partner
She never failed to get a curtain call

For years we had been one with the stars
A Pas de Deux of reknown
I'd leap and he'd catch me on the fly
And gently he'd put me down

The heights that I reached were dangerous
And I saw my partner strain
And felt when I had landed
His strength was on the wane

Back before my knees were blue
Backs broke bending in a step for two

For years we had been one with the stars
A Pas de Deux of reknown
I'd leap and he'd catch me on the fly
But once I came crashing down

Now I'm a weaver
Wall-hangings if you please
In everyone I feature
A dancer with bruised knees

Doop do.....

Dans une taverne du vieux Londres
Où se retrouvaient des étrangers
Nos voix criblées de joie montaient de l'ombre
Et nous écoutions nos cœurs chanter
C'était le temps des fleurs
On ignorait la peur
Les lendemains avaient un goût de miel
Ton bras prenait mon bras
Ta voix suivait ma voix
On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel
La, la, la...
On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel

Et puis sont venus les jours de brume
Avec des bruits étranges et des pleurs
Combien j'ai passé de nuits sans lune
À chercher la taverne dans mon cœur
Tout comme au temps des fleurs
Où l'on vivait sans peur
Où chaque jour avait un goût de miel
Ton bras prenait mon bras
Ta voix suivait ma voix
On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel
La, la, la ....
On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel

Je m'imaginais chassant la brume
Je croyais pouvoir remonter le temps
Et je m'inventais des clairs de lune
Où tous deux nous chantions comme avant
C'était le temps des fleurs
On ignorait la peur
Les lendemains avaient un goût de miel
Ton bras prenait mon bras
Ta voix suivait ma voix
On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel
La, la, la ....
On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel

Et ce soir je suis devant la porte
De la taverne où tu ne viendras plus
Et la chanson que la nuit m'apporte
Mon cœur déjà ne la connaît plus
C'était le temps des fleurs
On ignorait la peur
Les lendemains avait un goût de miel
Ton bras prenait mon bras
Ta voix suivait ma voix
On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel
La la la...
On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel

Dance: Ten, Looks: Three


Dance: Ten, Looks: Three
Composer(s): Marvin Hamlisch; Edward Kleban
Originally performed by: Pamela Blair & Cast
Covered by various other artists



Val:
But after a while I caught on...
I mean, I saw what they were hiring!
I also swiped my dance card once after an audition
and on a scale of one to ten, they gave me for dance: Ten, for looks: Three! Why?

Dance: Ten; Looks: Three
And I'm still on unemployment
Dancing for my own enjoyment
That ain't it, kid!
That ain't it, kid!

"Dance: Ten, Looks: Three"
Is like to die!
Left the theatre and
Called the doctor
For my appointment to buy...

Tits and ass
Bought myself a fancy pair
Tightened up the derriere
Did the nose with it
All that goes with it

Tits and ass!
Had the bingo-bongos done
Suddenly I'm getting National tours!
Tits and ass won't get you jobs
Unless they're yours!

Didn't cost a fortune neither
Didn't hurt my sex life either!

Flat and sassy
I would get the strays and losers
Beggars really can't be choosers
That ain't it, kid!
That ain't it, kid!

Fix the chassis
"How do you do!"
Life turned into an
Endless medley of
"Gee, it had to be you"
Why?

Tits and ass!
Where the cupboard once was bare
Now you knock and someone's there
You have got 'em, hey
Top to bottom, hey!

It's a gas!
Just a dash of silicone
Shake your new maracas and your fine!
Tits and ass can change your life
They sure changed mine!

Val:
You're all looking at my tits now, aren't you?

Sheila:
They aren't that big

Val:
I heard that, you bitch
I didn't want 'em like yours
I wanted them in proportion

Sheila:
Well, you got what you paid for

Connie:
I wouldn't mind having just one of yours

Val:
Well go out and buy 'em

Have it all done!
Honey, take my word
Grab a cab, c'mon
See the wizard on
Park and Seventy-Third
For

Tits and ass
Orchestra and balcony
What they want is whatcha see
Keep the best of you
Do all the rest of you

Pits or class
I have never seen it fail
Debutante or chorus girl or wife

Tits and ass
Yes, tits and ass
Have changed...
My...
Life...

Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
And dreamed of all the great things we would do

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
