Mandy (Eddie Cantor)
Mandy
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Eddie Cantor
and various other artists
I was strolling out one evening by the silvery moon
I could hear somebody singing a familiar tune
So I stopped awhile to listen, not a word I wanted to miss
It was just somebody serenading, something like this
My pretty Mandy, there's a Minister handy
And it sure would be dandy if we let him make a fee
(If we let him make a fee)
So don't you linger, here's a ring for your finger
Isn't it a little humdinger
Come along and let the wedding chimes
Bring a happy times for Mandy and me
My pretty Mandy, there's a Minister handy
And it sure would be dandy if he made a fee
Oh, don't you linger, here's a ring for your finger
Isn't it a humdinger
Come along and let the wedding chimes
Bring happy times for Mandy and me
Oh Mandy, there's a Minister handy
Come along and let the wedding chimes
Bring happy times for Mandy, Mandy
Ding dong, ding dong
The wedding chimes ring out
For Mandy, Mandy, Mandy and me

2-4-6-8 Motorway
2-4-6-8 Motorway
Composer(s): Tom Robinson
Performer(s): Tom Robinson
Drive my truck midway to the motorway station
Fairlane cruiser coming up on the left hand side
Headlight shining, driving rain on the window frame
Little young Lady Stardust hitching a ride... and it's
2-4-6-8 ain't never too late
Me and my radio truckin' on thru the night
3-5-7-9 on a double white line
Motorway sun coming up with the morning light
Whizzkid sitting pretty on your two-wheel stallion
This ol' ten-ton lorry got a bead on you
Ain't no use setting up with a bad companion
Ain't nobody get the better of you-know-who
2-4-6-8 ain't never too late
Me and my radio truckin' on thru the night
3-5-7-9 on a double white line
Motorway sun coming up with the morning light
Well there ain't no route you could choose to lose the two of us
Ain't nobody know when you're acting right or wrong
No-one knows if a roadway's leading nowhere
Gonna keep on driving home on the road I'm on...
2-4-6-8 ain't never too late
Me and my radio truckin' on thru the night
3-5-7-9 on a double white line
Motorway sun coming up with the morning light

Mandy (Barry Manilow)
Mandy
Composer(s): Scott English; Richard Kerr
Performer(s): Barry Manilow
I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
Shadows of a man
A face through a window
Crying in the night
The night goes into
Morning, just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking' in their eyes
I see a memory I never realised
How happy you made me, oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy
Standing on the edge of time
Walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
The tears are in my mind
And nothing is rhyming, oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy
Yesterday's a dream
I face the morning
Crying on a breeze
The pain is calling, oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy
You came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
You kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you

25 Or 6 To 4
25 Or 6 To 4
Composer(s): Robert Lamm
Performer(s): Chicago
Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Dancing lights against the sky
Giving up I close my eyes
Sitting cross-legged on the floor
25 or 6 to 4
Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wondering how much I can take
Should have tried to do some more
25 or 6 to 4
Feeling like I ought to sleep
Spinning room is sinking deep
Searching for something to say
Waiting for the break of day
25 or 6 to 4

Mandolins In The Moonlight
Mandolins In The Moonlight
Composer(s): George Weiss; Aaron Schroeder
Performer(s): Perry Como; Helmut Lotti
Mandolins in the moonlight, beautiful music of love!
We're not in Venice in a gondola beneath skies of blue
And yet it seems we're there, signorina, when I'm close to you
'Cause I hear mandolins in the moonlight
Mandolins in the moonlight
See what magic you start
A song of Italy sings in perfect tune with the strings of my heart
We won't be tossing coins in the fountain down in Rome tonight
And yet my dreams come true, signorina, when you hold me tight
'Cause I hear mandolins in the moonlight
Mandolins in the moonlight
See what magic you start
A song of Italy sings in perfect tune with the strings of my heart
Now here's the way they whisper, "I love you", down in Napoli
Ti voglio bene, mia signorina, and that goes for me
'Cause I hear mandolins in the moonlight
Mandolins in the moonlight
See what magic you start
A song of Italy sings in perfect tune with the strings of my heart
Mandolins in the moonlight, beautiful music of love

Mandolin Wind
Mandolin Wind
Composer(s): Rod Stewart
Performer(s): Rod Stewart
and various other artists
When the rain came I thought you'd leave
'cause I knew how much you loved the sun
But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm
through the darkest nights I've ever known
If the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing
then I know I love ya
Oh the snow fell without a break
Buffalo died in the frozen fields you know
Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years
I couldn't believe you kept a smile
Now I can rest assured knowing that we've seen the worst
And I know I love ya
Oh I never was good with romantic words
so the next few lines come really hard
Don't have much but what I've got is yours
except of course my steel guitar
Ha, 'cause I know you don't play
but I'll teach you one day
because I love ya
I recall the night we knelt and prayed
Noticing your face was thin and pale
I found it hard to hide my tears
I felt ashamed I felt I'd let you down
No mandolin wind couldn't change a thing
Couldn't change a thing no, no
The coldest winter in almost fourteen years
could never, never change your mind
And I love ya
Yes indeed and I love ya
And I love ya
Lordy I love ya

26 Miles (Santa Catalina)
26 Miles (Santa Catalina)
Composer(s): Glen Larson; Bruce Belland
Performer(s): The Four Preps
Twenty-six miles across the sea
Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me
Santa Catalina, the island of romance, romance, romance, romance
Water all around it everywhere
Tropical trees and the salty air
But for me the thing that's a-waitin' there-romance
It seems so distant, twenty-six miles away
Restin' in the water serene
I'd work for anyone, even the Navy
Who would float me to my island dream
Twenty-six miles, so near yet far
I'd swim with just some water-wings and my guitar
I could leave the wings but I'll need the guitar for romance
romance, romance, romance
Twenty-six miles across the sea
Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me
Santa Catalina, the island of romance
A tropical heaven out in the ocean
Covered with trees and girls
If I have to swim, I'll do it forever
Till I'm gazin' on those island pearls
Forty kilometers in a leaky old boat
Any old thing that'll stay afloat
When we arrive we'll all promote romance, romance, romance, romance
Twenty-six miles across the sea
Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me
Santa Catalina, the island of romance, romance, romance, romance
Fade
Twenty-six miles across the sea
Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me

Mandarme Rosas
Mandarme Rosas
Composer(s): R. de León
Performer(s): Raphael
No me ha dejado tu pasion, vida mia
Ningun mensaje de dolor ni alegria
Y en el silencio de tu casa vacia
No hay una cancion
No me ha dejado tu querer ni una huella
Ni un arco iris, ni una flor, ni una estrella
Pues tu romance sin final no hizo mella
En mi corazon
Mandarme rosas a millares
Que me distraigan con su olor
Mandarme versos y cantares
Mandarme amor
Me siento diferente
Y quiero alegremente
En otros brazos despertar
Me encuentro nuevo y ya curado
De tu cariño sin verdad
Mandarme rosas que he logrado
La libertad
Ya no me acuerdo del color de tu pelo
De si tus ojos era el mar o era el cielo
Como tampoco ya por ti siento celos
¡con lo que te ame!
Ayer llamarte nuevamente he querido
Pero tu nombre de mi frente se ha ido
Y aunque lo quise recordar no he podido
Porque lo olvide

2nd Thought
2nd Thought
Composer(s): Andy McCluskey
Performer(s): Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
although the order in our lives
left some time ago
along the way
we are the ones who never cry
like we don't care
today
me at home and you out there
and on your way
it's gone so far and now it seems
it's only me
who cares
I know it helps the times you asked
though never gave
a little hope to set you free
thus you stray
although the order in our lives
left some time ago
we are the ones who never cry
or so we're told
it's gone so far and now it seems
it's only me
me at home and you out there
along the way
me at home and you out there
along the way
me at home and you out there
along the way

29 Ways
29 Ways
Composer(s): Willie Dixon
Performer(s): Willie Dixon;
and various other artists
I got 29 ways to make it to my baby's door
I got 29 ways to make it to my baby's door
And if she needs me bad
I can find about two or three more
I got one through the basement
Two down the hall
And when the going gets tough
I got a hole in the wall
Chorus:
I can come through the chimney like Santa Claus
Go through the window and that ain't all
A lot of good ways I don't want you to know
I even got a hole in the bedroom floor
Chorus
I got a way through the closet behind her clothes
A way through the attic that no one knows
A master key that fits every lock
A hidden door behind the grandfather clock
Chorus

Mandala
Composer(s): Sally Oldfield
Performer(s): Sally Oldfield
Have you seen Jackie?
He's a strange strange strange little girl
Make up on his face and his hair in curls
Have you seen Jackie?
She's a strange strange strange little boy
Her long black beard is her pride and joy
And all the children follow him around
And all the grownups try to drag her down
So we sing
Hey, leave Jackie alone
Hey, his pigeons have flown
Hey, she's never at home at all these days
Leave Jackie alone
Have you seen Jackie?
He's an odd odd odd little fish
To fly around is his only wish
Have you seen Jackie?
She's a queer queer queer little bird
Shy and quiet neither scene nor herd
And all the rats will follow him around
The dogs and cats will chase her from the town
And we sing
Hey, leave Jackie alone
Hey, his mind is all blown
Hey, she's not on the phone at all these days
Leave Jackie alone
Jackie couldn't decide if he was a girl
Or if she was a boy
Have you seen Jackie

And you can do it, too, it's easy (it's so easy)
Like takin' candy (like takin' candy) from a baby
Baby, there's nothin' hard about love
Basically, it's as easy as pie
The hard part is livin' without love
Without your love, baby, I would die
It's easy (it's so easy)
Like takin' candy (like takin' candy) from a baby, yay
One and one are two (one and one are two)
I know you love me and oh,oh, how I love you (how I love you)
Don't try to fight it 'cause it's easy (it's so easy)
Like takin' candy (like takin' candy) from a baby, yay

Manchester Et Liverpool
Manchester Et Liverpool
Composer(s): Eddy Marnay; André Popp
Performer(s): Marie Laforêt; The Peanuts
Manchester et Liverpool
Je me revois flânant le long des rues
Au milieu de cette foule
Parmi ces milliers d'inconnus
Manchester et Liverpool
Je m'en allais dans tous les coins perdus
En cherchant ce bel amour
Que près de toi j'avais connu
Je t'aime, je t'aime
Que j'aime ta voix qui me disait
Je t'aime, je t'aime
Et moi j'y croyais tant et plus
Manchester est devenu triste
Et Liverpool vient pleurer sur la mer
Je ne sais plus si j'existe
Les bateaux blancs craignent l'hiver
Manchester est sous la pluie
Et Liverpool ne se retrouve plus
Dans la brume d'aujourd'hui
L'amour lui aussi s'est perdu
Je t'aime, je t'aime,
J'écoute ta voix qui me disait
Je t'aime, je t'aime
Et je n'y croirais jamais plus

Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud
Petit voyou de favela
Enfant des rues de là-bas
Moi j'aime tes concerts
Sur boite de conserve
Mañana, c'est carnaval
Mañana, c'est carnaval
Petite fille de favela
Fille de fille de joie
Tu n'as qu'un seul soulier
Pour aller à la fête
Mañana, c'est carnaval
Mañana, c'est carnaval
Ils m'ont dragué à l'autocar
Dans ce paradis de bazar
Et j'ai perdu deux trois dollars
A une course de cafards
Viva gringo, viva el gringo
C'est moi le gringo
Les enfants ont bien rigolé
Et moi aussi j'ai rigolé
Vous avez faim? On va manger
Le gringo c'est fait pour payer
Viva gringo, viva el gringo
Petits voyous de favela
On a plongé tous les trois
Dans la grande ville folle
Qui peignait ses guignols
Mañana, c'est carnaval
Mañana, c'est carnaval
Pour qu'ils soient très bien déguisés
On a couru le grand marché
Couronnes d'or, capes dorées
Ce qu'ils volaient, je le payais
Viva gringo, viva el gringo
Et puis ils m'ont perdu dans la nuit
Pour remonter dans leur pays
Et faire avec leurs habits
Un royaume dans leur taudis
Viva gringo, viva el gringo
Petits voyous de favela
J'aurai des larmes de joie
Demain au défilé
Vous serez roi et reine...
Mañana, c'est carnaval ...

13 Steps Lead Down
13 Steps Lead Down
Performer(s): Elvis Costello
When nobody knows she puts on secret clothes
And lies in the meadow with her hands tied behind her back
I won't refuse if you know how to use it
Just stop playing that ugly drug music
Chorus:
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down
There's commoners and kings
And everyone's a prisoner of
Paper and glue
And a decent pair of scissors
So tonight I'm drinking to your health
Because I just can't stand myself
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down
She stands and fails
On fashion fingernails
Her lovers have her walking 'round
On instruments of torture
And one of them is poisonous
The other is a thief they say
So what one could give to her
The other cannot take away
When nobody knows she puts on secret clothes
And lies in her splendour for a picture opportunity
Cover up that bruise, put on patent leather shoes
Just stop playing that bad mood music
Chorus
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down

Well, at five thirty-five at the corner of Franklin and Walnut
A blue station wagon comes slidin' around the corner
And on down Franklin Pike Circle all you're seein' is a streak of blue
And pulls in the drive at the address of 1432
And he says "My head aches and my back hurts and I don't feel like talkin'"
"Don't wan' go the show to see Doctor Zhivago"
"Don't wanna take the dog out walkin'"
"I wanna sit right here in this easy chair, it's been a jungle all day, you know"
The 1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero is home
He was out pitching ball with the kids in the neighborhood yesterday
And the ole major-leaguer had to quit 'cause he said he threw his arm away
And the kids all hid behind the hedge and laughed at him but wouldn't let it show
Because they love him so
He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero

Well, he won a little pony at the Hill High auction just the other day
And he di'n't mean to do it and he wanted to give the pony away
a-When they called out his name he tried not to claim it
But the kids started cryin' 'cause they'd already named it
And who's up ev'ry Saturday morning?
Saddling his new toy? You guessed it
The 1432 Franklin Pike Circle Cowboy
He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero
'n' you can see him ev'ry weekend with a car full of kids and snow cones
Durin' Christmas took the kids down to see the floats
When he wanted t'stay home and watch the Baltimore Colts
1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero
Well the ten-thirty news usually finds our hero is a sleepy head
And Peter's out somewhere wreckin' the car
And the rest 'the kids have gone to bed
So she takes his hand, they climb the stairs and he falls asleep
And she bends over him so tenderly to kiss his cheek
'cause she loves him so, and she's lucky, you know?
To be married to the 1432

He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero
