Dandy


Dandy
Composer(s): Ray Davies
Performer(s): The Kinks



Dandy, Dandy
Where you gonna go now?
Who you gonna run to?
All your little life
You're chasing all the girls
They can't resist your smile
Oh, they long for Dandy, Dandy

Checkin' out the ladies
Tickling their fancy
Pouring out your charm
To meet your own demands
And turn it off at will
Oh, they long for Dandy, Dandy

Knockin' on the back door
Climbing through the window
Hubby's gone away
And while the cat's away
The mice are gonna play
Oh, you low down Dandy, Dandy
Dandy

Dandy, you know you're moving much too fast
And Dandy, you know you can't escape the past
Look around you and see the people settle down
And when you're old and grey you will remember what they said
That two girls are too many, three's a crowd and four you're dead

Oh Dandy, Dandy
When you gonna give up?
Are you feeling old now?
You always will be free
You need no sympathy
A bachelor you will stay
And Dandy, you're all right
You're all right
You're all right
You're all right
You're all right
You're all right

And I Go


And I Go
Composer(s): Steve Winwood - Will Jennings
Performer(s): Steve Winwood



My girl white in a yellow light
Looks so good
And it takes me
Love so bright she can love all night
Shows me all she knows

Painter paint the scene
Hold us in a dream
Feel what it means
When she takes me
Oh, she plays her part
Holds me in her heart
Knows from the start
She can take me
And she takes me
And I go

When I'm bound in the London ground
Play this song
It'll take you
Say her love was a velvet glove
Held my life through

See us in the morning sun
How the colors run

Dando Vueltas En El Aire


Dando Vueltas En El Aire
Composer(s): Fito Paez
Performer(s): Fito Paez; Astor Piazzolla



Cada vez que nos peleamos
Cada vez que estamos bien
Cada vez que lo encontramos
Lo volvemos a perder

Cada salto en el vacío es una cuestión de fe
Nunca nada se repite como la primera vez

Y siempre nos quedamos solos, solos

Cada vez que te lo pido
Cada vez que vos llamás
Cada rasgo enloquecido
Cada foto de mamá
Cada síntoma en el cuerpo
Cada golpe de verdad

Cada vez estoy más lejos
Pero bien lejos de acá

Y siempre nos quedamos solos
Y voy a salir a buscar
Y voy a salir a pegar

Vueltas y vueltas y vueltas en el aire
Van quedando pocos trapos
No me importan cuantos van

Ya no se ni donde vivo
Ya no sé donde parar

Empecé a moverme un poco
No es cuestión de estar tan mal

Lo que no puedo explicarme
Ya lo voy a transpirar
Que se queden cosas
Que se queden ahí atrás
Que se queden con su mundo
Yo no me voy as enfermar más
Volviendo a vos
creo que lo que mejor sería es cambiar de tema

No me importa
Ni que entiendas ni que juzgues
Ni que hables o que mientas

Siempre nos quedamos solos
Y voy a salir a buscar
Voy a salir a pegar
Vueltas y vueltas y vueltas en el aire

Until The Next Time


Until The Next Time
Composer(s): Isla Grant - Daniel O'Donnell - Marc Roberts
Performer(s): Daniel O'Donnell



We came here together this evening
To meet with old friends that are true
Cuz over the years we've grown closer
That's what's happened between me and you

Somehow things in life keep on changing
And nothing it seems stays the same
But the times that we share
That old feeling's still there

And the song in my heart I declare

May the road rise to meet you
And may all of your fears disappear
May all of your problems be small ones
Til the next time we're all gathered here

Let's be thankful for all of the good things
We have in our lives every day
So until the next time I see you
Close to my heart you will stay

Well now the time's come for the parting
Once more we must go our own way
Tonight we have made some more memories
And nothing can take them away

Leaving this place, just remember
As we travel life's journey each day
The road that takes us away
Will take us back here someday

So until we're together this way

May the road rise to meet you
And may all of your fears disappear
May all of your problems be small ones
Til the next time we're all gathered here

Let's be thankful for all of the good things
We have in our lives every day
So until the next time I see you
Close to my heart you will stay

So until the next time I see you
Close to my heart you will stay

Dandelion Clock


Dandelion Clock
Composer(s): Edwards; Palmer
Performer(s): Billy Cotton



(Chorus)
Lovely day, lovely girl
Strolling in the meadow
Telling time by dandelion
Waiting for her lover

Dandelion clock, best of all the flowers

(Alan)
Blows away the hours till you are in my arms

(Chorus)
In my arms

Time for bill and cooing, time you were in my arms

(Chorus)
Puff, puff, puff and now it’s three
Puff, puff, five, and time for tea

(Alan)
Puff, it’s six, soon I’ll be OK
I’ve blown all the hours away

(Doreen)
Dandelion clock, tell me that it’s seven

(Alan)
Soon I’ll be in heaven, soon you’ll be in my arms

(Chorus)
In my arms

(Doreen)
Dandelion clock, tell me that it’s seven

My arms

And Her Mother Came Too


And Her Mother Came Too
Composer(s): Ivor Novello
Performer(s): Bobby Short
and multiple other artists



My car will meet her
And her mother comes too
It’s a two-seater
Still her mother comes too
And when they’re visiting me
We finish afternoon tea
She loves to sit on my knee
And her mother does too

We buy her trousseau
And her mother comes too
Asked not to do so
Still her mother comes too
She simply can’t take a snub
I go and sulk at the club
Then have a bath and a rub
And her brother comes too

Dancing With The Moonlit Knight


Dancing With The Moonlit Knight
Composer(s): Tony Banks; Phil Collins;
Peter Gabriel; Steve Hackett; Mike Rutherford
Performer(s): Genesis; darXtar; Gazebo



Can you tell me where my country lies?
Said the unifaun to his true love's eyes
It lies with me, cried the Queen of Maybe
For her merchandise, he traded in his prize

Paper late!, cried a voice in the crowd
Old man dies!
The note he left was signed old father Thames
It seems he's drowned
Selling England by the pound

Citizens of Hope and Glory
Time goes by
It's 'the time of your life'
Easy now, sit you down
Chewing through your Wimpey dreams
They eat, without a sound
Digesting England by the pound

Young man says you are what you eat - eat well
Old man says you are what you wear - wear well
You know what you are, you don't give a damn
Bursting your belt that is your homemade sham

The captain leads his dance right on through the night
Join the dance...
Follow on! Till the Grail sun sets in the mould
Follow on! Till the gold is cold
Dancing out with the moonlit knight
Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout

There's a fat old lady outside the saloon
Laying out the credit cards she plays fortune
The deck is uneven right from the start
All of their hands are playing apart

The captain leads his dance right on through the night
Join the dance...
Follow on! A round Table-talking down we go
You're the show!
Off we go with - You play the hobbyhorse
I'll play the fool
We'll tease the bull
Ringing round and loud, loud and round
Follow on! With a twist of the world we go
Follow on! Till the gold is cold
Dancing out with the moonlit knight
Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout

And Her Daddy's A Millionaire


And Her Daddy's A Millionaire
Composer(s): Pete Ham - Tom Evans
Performer(s): The Iveys



Priscilla Bagshot lives in a house with a hundred and twenty rooms
With butlers and bakers and candlestick vapors and horses and horses’ grooms
People don’t like her, they say she’s a fool, but I know I disagree
I know her better, she’ll lend me ten bob and I know she’s in love with me

Oh, oh, she’s a beautiful girl, she doesn’t have a care
Oh, oh, she’s a wonderful girl and her daddy’s a millionaire

I meet her on Sundays, we go for a ride and it means the world to me
She lets me take her out to the woods then back to her house for tea
People don’t like her, they say she’s a fool, but I know I disagree
I know her better, she’ll lend me ten bob and I know she’s in love with me

Oh, oh, she’s a beautiful girl, she doesn’t have a care
Oh, oh, she’s a wonderful girl and her daddy’s a millionaire

Oh, oh, she’s a beautiful girl, she doesn’t have a care
Oh, oh, she’s a wonderful girl and her daddy’s a millionaire
Her daddy’s a millionaire
Her daddy’s a millionaire
Her daddy’s a millionaire
Her daddy’s a millionaire

Dancing With The Captain


Dancing With The Captain
Composer(s): Dominic Bugatti; Frank Musker
Performer(s): Paul Nicholas



Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

It was full steam ahead, destination unknown
I asked our position, the crew didn't know
They were all jiggin' up in the riggin'
'Cause the Captain loves to rock and roll

I looked out to sea, there was no land in sight
The ship kept on sailin' right into the night
Everyone cheerin', nobody steerin'
But we seemed to be doin' all right

Everybody was dancin' with the Captain
Everybody was dancin' with the Captain
Just look at them dancin' with the Captain
Well, we all had fun the whole night long
And the ship sailed on

Pretty soon the Captain was out of control
He said "This here's the place, if you got the soul"
Keep on cruisin', let's have the music
Your captain loves to rock and roll

Everybody was dancin' with the Captain
Everybody was dancin' with the Captain
Just look at them dancin' with the Captain
Well, we all had fun the whole night long
And the ship sailed on

'N' Everything


'N' Everything
Performer(s): Jack Buchanan



She’s got a pair of eyes that speak of love, and everything
She’s got a smile like angels up above, and everything
The little birdies start to sing
When they see her, they think it’s spring
Like April showers, she makes the flowers
Just seem to grow, and everything
She’s got the cutest little dimpled hand, and everything
A pretty finger for a wedding band, and everything
And if she’ll be my little wife
We’ll lead the simple life
And we’ll raise a lot of ducks and cows and geese, and everything

And if she’ll be my little wife
We’ll lead the simple life
And we’ll raise a lot of ducks and cows and geese and everything
Everything
Lots of ducks and cows and geese
And everything

Dancing With Tears In My Eyes


Dancing With Tears In My Eyes
Composer(s): Joe Burke; Al Dubin
Performer(s): Ruth Etting
and various other artists



Those who dance and romance while they dance
They seem so happy and gay
Though they sing and they swing as they sway
Somehow I can't feel that way

For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
'Cause the boy/girl in my arms isn't you
Dancing with somebody new
When it's you that my heart's calling to

Trying to smile once in a while
But I find it so hard to do
For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
'Cause the boy/girl in my arms isn't you

While the throng's in the spell of a song
My thoughts keep drifting to you
While each pair seems to share their affair
They're making me blue

For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
'Cause the boy/girl in my arms isn't you
Dancing with somebody new
When it's you that my heart's calling to

Trying to smile once in a while
But I find it so hard to do
For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
'Cause the boy/girl in my arms isn't you

Times Two, I Love You


Times Two, I Love You
Performer(s): The Three Chuckles



(How much is two times two)
(I wish that you could love me too)

Take everyone who's been in love
Times two
Plus every star that shines above
Times two
You'll have the answer, darling
When you're through
(How much times two)
(I love you)

Take every kiss beneath the moon
Times two
Plus all the wedding bells in June
Times two
Seems unbelievable
But still it's true
(How much times two)
(I love you)

(Twice the whole wide creation)
Fantastic, though it may be
It's just a rough estimation
(Of all you mean to me)

If I could take forever more
Times two
Plus every moment
Of my whole life through
How little time I'd have to prove to you
(How much times two)
I love you

(Twice the whole wide creation)
Fantastic, though it may be
It's just a rough estimation
(Of all you mean to me)

If I could take forever more
Times two
Plus every moment
Of my whole life through
How little time I'd have to prove to you
(How much times two)
I love you

(How much is two times two)
(I wish that you could love me too)

Dancing With My Shadow


Dancing With My Shadow
Composer(s): Woods
Performer(s): Billy Cotton; Ted Heath



Dancing with my shadow
Feeling kind of blue
Dancing with my shadow
And making believe it’s you
Somewhere in a corner
Nothing else to do
Dancing with my shadow
And making believe it’s you

In my dreams it seems that you’re my own again
Then I wake and find that I’m alone again

Dancing with my shadow
Feeling kind of blue
Dancing with my shadow
And making believe it’s you

Announcer: 5,6,7,8

[Velma Kelly]
Come on babe why don't we paint the town
and all that jazz
I'm gonna rouge my knees
and roll my stockings down
and all that jazz
Start the car I know a whoopee spot
Where the gin is cold
but the piano's hot!
It's justy a noisy hall
Where there's a nightly brawl
And all that jazz

And all that jazz
And all that jazz
Slick your hair
And wear your buckle shoes
And all that Jazz
I hear that Father Dip
Is gonna blow the blues
And all that Jazz
Hold on, hon
We're gonna bunny hug
I bought some aspirin
Down at United Drug
I case you shake apart
And want a brand new start
To do that

[Roxie Hart] (imagine)
Jazz

[Velma Kelly]
Find a flask
We're playing fast and loose
And all that jazz
Right up here
Is where I store the juice
And all that jazz
Come on, babe
We're gonna brush the sky
I bet you luck Lindy
Never flew so high
'Cause in the stratosphere
How could he lend an ear
to all that jazz?
Oh, you're gonna see your sheba shimmy shake

[Company]
And all that jazz

[Velma Kelly]
Oh, she's gonna shimmy 'till her garters break

[Company]
And all that jazz

[Velma Kelly]
Show her where to park her girdle
Oh, her mother's blood'd curdle

[Company]
If she'd hear her baby's queer

[Velma Kelly]
For all that jazz

All that jazz
Come on, babe
Why Don't we paint
The town?
And all that jazz
And all that jazz
I'm gonna rouge my knees
And roll my stockings down
And all that jazz
And all that jazz
Start the car
I know a whoopee spot
Where the gin is cold
But the piano's hot
It's just a noisy hall
Where there's a nightly brawl
And all that jazz

No, I'm no one's wife
But, Oh, I love my life
And all
that
Jazz!
That Jazz!

Dancing With Mr. D


Dancing With Mr. D
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones



Down in the graveyard
Where we have our tryst
The air smells sweet
The air smells sick
He never smiles
His mouth merely twists
The breath in my lungs
Feels clinging and thick
But I know his name
He's called Mr. D
And one of these days
He's gonna set you free
Human skulls is hanging
Right round his neck
The palms of my hands
Is clammy and wet

Lord
I was dancing
Dancing
Dancing so free
Dancing
Dancing
Dancing so free
Dancing, Lord
Keep your hands off me
Dancing with Mr. D
With Mr. D
With Mr. D

Will it be poison
Put in my glass
Will it be slow
Or will it be fast
The bite of a snake
The sting of a spider
A drink of Belladonna
On a Toussaint night
Hiding in a corner
In New York City
Lookin' down a forty-four
In West Virginia

Lord
I was dancing
Dancing
Dancing so free
Dancing
Dancing
Dancing so free
Dancing, Lord
Keep your hands off me
Dancing with Mr. D
With Mr. D
With Mr. D

One night I was dancing
With a lady in black
Wearing black silk gloves
And a black silk hat
She looked at me longing
With black velvet eyes
She gazed at me strange
All cunning and wise
Then I saw the flesh
Just fall off her bones
The eyes in her skull
Was burning like coals
Lord, have mercy
Fire and brimstone
I was dancing with Mrs. D

Lord
I was dancing
Dancing
Dancing so free
Dancing
Dancing
Dancing so free
Dancing
Dancing
Dancing so free
Dancing
Dancing...

Ancora Tu


Ancora Tu
Composer(s): Lucio Battisti - Mogol
Performer(s): Lucio Battisti
Covered by multiple other artists



Ancora tu, non mi sorprende, lo sai?
Ancora tu ma non dovevamo vederci più?
E come stai, domanda inutile
stai come me e ci scappa da ridere
amore mio, hai già mangiato o no?
Ho fame anch'io, e non soltanto di te
che bella sei sembri più giovane
o forse sei solo più simpatica!
Io lo so cosa tu vuoi sapere
nessuna, no, ho solo ripreso a fumare
sei ancora tu, purtroppo l'unica
ancora tu, l'incorreggibile
ma lasciarti non e' possibile
lasciarti non è possibile
lasciarti non è possibile
no, lasciarti non e' possibile!
Sei ancora tu, purtroppo l'unica
ancora tu l'incorreggibile
ma lasciarti non è possibile
no, lasciarti non è possibile
lasciarti non è possibile
no, lasciarti non è possibile!
Disperazione e gioia mia
sarò ancora tuo sperando che non sia follia
ma sia quel che sia
abbracciami amore mio, abbracciami amor mio
che adesso lo voglio anch'io!
Ancora tu, non mi sorprende, lo sai?
Ancora tu, ma non dovevamo vederci più?!?
E come stai domanda inutile
stai come me e ci scappa da ridere!

Dancing Shoes (Dan Fogelberg)


Dancing Shoes
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg



Dancing shoes
On the wall above your bedside
Saw it all as we performed our pirouette
Fleshes fused
As the flicker of the candles
Threw upon the wall a single silhouette

Tu es dan ma coeur et dans ma téte

Dancing shoes
We have loved on distant beaches
Where the winter never reaches
There we fell
Dying swan
On the dawn you danced before me
Though your eyes were dark and stormy
I stood still

Qui peut dire le faux et le réel?

Dancing shoes
Though the distances divide us
There's a paradise inside us
We can't lose
Me and you
Dance a 'pas de deux'
Forever
And I pray you never
Shed your dancing shoes

Ancora In Volo


Ancora In Volo
Performer(s): Al Bano



La strada bagnata di pioggia
è una lama sottile che taglia la sera
e la spegne senza fare rumore
sul muro rimbalzano stanche
le nostre parole non sanno di sole

Nascosta nel buio riposa la malinconia
la spalmo sul pane la mangio
è proprio la mia
che strano sapore d'amore

Immenso amore mio
perduto in un pensiero
come un gabbiano stanco
io graffio ancora il cielo
per non morire in volo
forse domani mi sveglierò
con il sorriso della quiete

Avere bisogno di un piccolo stupido sogno
da accendere quando fa freddo la sera d'inverno
e bere in silenzio da solo
un bicchiere di vino

Guardare lontano lontano
chiamare un amico
soltanto così per parlare
cercando di non farsi del male
nel ricordare le nostre risate d'estate

Immenso amore mio
perduto in un pensiero
come un gabbiano stanco
io graffio ancora il cielo
per non morire in volo
forse domani mi sveglierò
col viso dolce della quiete

Dancing Shoes (Cliff Richard)


Dancing Shoes
Composer(s): Hank Marvin; Bruce Welch
Performer(s): Cliff Richard



You must have heard of a little bo peep
she was the gal with all the sheep
Well one day its sad to say
the sheep all went away
she was lonely she was blue
She was sad and a crying too
So I told her what to do
I said
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
Dance a way your blues

A friend of mine had an accident
Laughed so hard off the wall he went
Humpty dumpty was his name
I guess you've heard the same
He was a lying on the ground
A bits and pieces all around
So I told him what to do
I said put on your dancing shoes

(chorus)

I'm sure you know about Jack and Jill
they're the ones that went up the hill
Jack fell down and broke his crown
Jill came tumbling after
What a noise their crying made
It was a ringing through the glade
so I told him what to do
And I changed their tears to laughter

(chorus)

Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes

Ancora Con Te


Ancora Con Te
Composer(s): Sergio Bardotti
Performer(s): Peppino Di Capri



Tu che sei tra le tante esperienze
Quella che ho ancora in mente
Quella che più mi preme
Tu che sei tra gli amori che ho avuto
Il più complicato il più semplice insieme

Tu che sei il mio sbaglio più giusto
E la più strana storia che ha scritto di me
E per questo per altro che anche
Così tornerei ancora con te

Tu che sei la bugia più sincera
La batuta più seria che io ho detto mai
Tu che sei il brivido più antico
Dell'amore più amico che ho avuto mai
Dei ricordi che mi fan compagnia
Tu sei la nostalgia che sempre vorrei
E così anche solo così sono ancora con te

Ho scordato che volevo scordare
Ho pensato che era sciocco pensare
Ho capito che non posso capire
Ma solo accetare che non ti avrò più

Tu che sei il mio grande rimedio
E la sola perfidia che accetterò
Tu che sei la mia pace l'affanno
Il più stupido ingano che mai soffrirò
Dei ricordi che mi fan compagnia
Tu sei la nostalgia che sempre vorrei
E così anche solo così sono acora con te
