Ditty Wah Ditty


Ditty Wah Ditty Composer(s): Arthur Blake Performer(s): Ry Cooder; Bob Kelly



There's a great big mystery
And it sure is worrying me
It's a ditty wah ditty
Mister ditty wah ditty
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means

I went out and walked around
Somebody yelled, "Now who's in town?"
Mister ditty wah ditty
Mister ditty wah ditty
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means

Some little girl 'bout four-feet-four
Said, "Come on, papa, and gimme some mo'"
Your ditty wah ditty
Your ditty wah ditty
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means

I went to church, put my hat on the seat
A lady sat on it and said, "Daddy you sho' is sweet"
Mister ditty wah ditty
Mister ditty wah ditty
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means

I said, "Sister, I'll soon be gone
Just give me that thing that you're sitting on"
My ditty wah ditty
Mister ditty wah ditty
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means

Then I got put outta the church
'Cause I talked about ditty wah ditty too much
Mister ditty wah ditty
Mister ditty wah ditty
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means

Art For Art's Sake


Art For Art's Sake
Composer(s): Graham Gouldman - Eric Stewart
Performer(s): 10 cc



Give me your body
Give me your mind
Open your heart
Pull down the blind
Give me your love give me it all
Give me in the kitchen give me in the hall
Art for arts sake
Money for God's sake
Art for Arts sake
Money for God's sake
Give me the readies
Give me the cash
Give me a bullet
Give me a smash
Give me a silver give me a gold
Make it a million for when I get old
Art for arts sake
Money for God's sake
Art for Arts sake
Money for God's sake
Money talks so listen to it
Money talks to me
Anyone can understand it
Money can't be beat Oh no
When you get down, down to the root
Don't give a damn don't give a hoot
Still got to keep making the loot
Chauffeur driven
Got to make her quick as you can
Give her loving make you a man
Get her in the palm of your hand
Bread from Heaven
Give me a country
Where I can be free
Don't need the unions
Strangling me
Keep me in exile the rest of my days
Burn me in hell but as long as it pays
Art for arts sake
Money for God's sake
Art for arts sake
Money for God's sake
Art for arts sake
Money for God's sake
Art for arts sake
Money for God's sake

Dites, Si C'était Vrai


Dites, Si C'était Vrai
Composer(s): Jacques Brel
Performer(s): Jacques Brel



Dites, dites, si c'était vrai
S'il était né vraiment à Bethléem, dans une étable
Dites, si c'était vrai
Si les rois Mages étaient vraiment venus de loin, de fort loin
Pour lui porter l'or, la myrrhe, l'encens
Dites, si c'était vrai
Si c'était vrai tout ce qu'ils ont écrit Luc, Matthieu
Et les deux autres
Dites, si c'était vrai
Si c'était vrai le coup des Noces de Cana
Et le coup de Lazare
Dites, si c'était vrai
Si c'était vrai ce qu'ils racontent les petits enfants
Le soir avant d'aller dormir
Vous savez bien, quand ils disent Notre Père, quand ils disent Notre Mère
Si c'était vrai tout cela
Je dirais oui
Oh, sûrement je dirais oui
Parce que c'est tellement beau tout cela
Quand on croit que c'est vrai

Big City (Tol Hansse)


Big City
Performer(s): Tol Hansse



Waar ter wereld ik ook kwam
Nimmer trof ik zo een bende
Als in 't oude Amsterdam
Welgelegen aan het IJ
Leven zij daar vrij en blij
Ronkend in gepoetste blikkies
Vreemde vogels met hun stickies
Uit hun monden wolken rook
Als liepen zij op oliestook
Speedy kauwend met hun tanden
Geen parkeerplaats meer voorhanden
En daar sta je op de stoep
Glijend door de hondepoep
Ja 't is d'r druk genoeg
Op de straat en in de kroeg
Waar Bolle Jan z'n biertje hijst
En de jukebox vrolijk krijst
Z'n vrouw die krijgt haar eerste wee
Op 'n zaaltje in 't WG
Lijkt de baby op z'n vader
Wordt 't wel een keizersnee
Van een metertje of twee
Amsterdam holadiee

Big city
Big city
Big big city
You're so pretty
Hare Krishna's op de dam
Douwen in je hand een brieffie
Hoe je happy leven kan
Zo te zien en volgens mij
Zijn ze zelf niet zo blij
De haringman staat op z'n stekkie
Met een bleek vertrokken bekkie
Eet 'm nou maar op meneer
Met die walmen van 't verkeer
'k Neem u echt niet in de maling
Is 't zo gerookte paling
En daar staat een Arabier
Eet patat met veel plezier
Gebakken in, da's interessant
De olie uit z'n vaderland
Een Engelsman zit shocking klem
Between de deuren van de tram
Een dame als een toverfee
In een grote BMW
Wil je van 't trottoir afracen
't Zal wel een temeier wezen
Met d'r vent in de WW
Amsterdam holadiee

Big city
Big city
Big big city
You're so pretty

En Thorbecke schudt z'n knar
Ziet ze gaan en ziet ze komen
Hangend aan de volle bar
Lessen zij hun grote dorst
Aan de barvrouw's blote borst
't Wijkgebouw dat staat te trillen
Als daar de gitaren gillen
Want de beat-band uit de buurt
Heeft 'r weer een zaal gehuurd
Ome Jaap die trekt benee
Z'n accordeon in twee
Tante Jans in de bistro
Eet andijvie uit een po
Waar de trams de hoek om gillen
Of ze katten staat te villen
En je redt je vege lijf
Anders word je koud en stijf
Met al die mensen op een kluit
Denk je soms "ik wil d'r uit"
Eenzaam in je blote billen
Door een oerwoud lopen rillen
Nee dat valt toch ook niet mee
Amsterdam holadiee

Big city
Big city
Big big city
You're so pretty

Big city
Big city
Big big city
You're so pretty

Big city
Big city
Big big city
You're so pretty

Disturbance


Disturbance Composer(s): Roy Wood Performer(s): The Move



When I was a little boy my mama dropped me on my head I felt kinda dizzy but the doctor made note of how I did Ever since then there's been a slight disturbance in my mind a kind of disarrangement that the surgeons cannot find At the age of seven I just couldn't read my ABC but I gave my teacher tips on how the caveman used to be Ever since then there's been a slight disturbance in my mind a kind of disarrangement that the surgeons cannot find Reach the age of 21 ain't got no key to fit my door day and night I'm looning around just don't know what I'm looking for Will they carry me away? Oh will they carry me away? I was 97 and I'm sure my brain it had enough racing round in jet planes cause my sports car ain't quite fast enough Ever since then there's been a slight disturbance in my mind a kind of disarrangement that the surgeons cannot find Will they carry me away? Oh will they carry me away? Will they carry me away? Oh will they carry me away?

Arrullo De Dios


Arrullo De Dios
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez



Esta casa la compro sin fortuna
esta casa la compro con amor
pa' que jueguen mis hijos con la luna
pa' que jueguen mis hijos con el sol

Yo les quiero dejar lo que no tuve
yo los quiero mirar poco a poco crecer
y alcanzar una nube

Yo quisiera que Dios
Que Dios los arrullara
y un mañana distinto
y un distinto mañana
tambien que Dios les regalara...

Yo les quiero dejar lo que no tuve
yo los quiero mirar
poco a poco crecer
y alcanzar una nube

Yo quisiera que Dios
que Dios los arrullara
y un mañana distinto
y un distinto mañana
tambien que Dios los despertara...

Distant Shores


Distant Shores
Composer(s): James William Guercio
Performer(s): Chad & Jeremy



Sweet soft summer nights
Dancing shadows in the distant lights
You came for me to follow
And we kissed on distant shores

Long quiet hours of play
Sounds of tomorrow from yesterday
Love came for me to follow
And we kissed on distant shores

The careful glance of children playing
Raindrops fall as if they're saying
Quiet thoughts of you caressed by time

The breeze of summer's gone
Whispered memories as nights grow long
You came for me to follow
And we kissed on distant shores

Distant Drums


Distant Drums
Composer(s): Cindy Walker
Performer(s): Jim Reeves



I hear the sound of distant drums
Far away, far away
And if they call for me to come
Then I must go, and you must stay

So, Mary, marry me, let's not wait
Let's share all the time we can before it's too late
Love me now, for now is all the time there may be
If you love me, Mary, Mary, marry me

I hear the sound of bugles blow'
Far away, far away
And if they call, then I must go
Across the sea, so wild and grey

So, Mary, marry me, let's not wait
Or the distant drums might change our wedding day
And love me now, for now is all the time there may be
If you love me, Mary, Mary, marry me

Fernando & Filippo


Fernando & Filippo
First performance by: Milly Scott - 1966



Fernando, Fernando
Gitarist uit Santiago
Speelt de hele avond solo
En rijdt dan nog naar San Antonio

Filippo, Filippo
Is heel anders dan Fernando
Heus, die stapt niet in zijn auto
En rijdt dan nog naar San Antonio

Maar Fernando die verlangt zo naar haar
Ook al is hij moe, hij pakt zijn gitaar
Geeft z'n liedjes en liefde kado
Aan haar in San Antonio

Fernando, Fernando
Gitarist uit Santiago
Speelt de hele avond solo
En rijdt dan nog naar San Antonio

Fernando, Fernando
Gitarist uit Santiago
Speelt de hele avond solo
En rijdt dan nog naar San Antonio

Ongelukkig valt het lot op een keer
Op een nacht vindt hij zijn meisje niet meer
Zij ging 's avonds naar Filippo
Verdween alleen uit San Antonio

Filippo, Filippo
Zegt dan 's avonds tot Fernando
Wacht nog even, want ze komt zo
Ze komt voor mij uit San Antonio...

Arrow Through Me


Arrow Through Me
Composer(s): Paul McCartney
Performer(s): Wings; Richie Havens; Laurence Juber



Ooh, baby, you couldn't have done a worse thing to me
If you'da taken an arrow and run it right through me
Ooh
Ooh baby, a bird in the hand is worth two flyin'
But when it came to love, I'd knew you'd be lyin'
It could have been a finer thing
Would have been a major attraction
With no other thing: offering a note of distraction
come on, get up, get under way, bring your love
Ooh baby, you wouldn't have found a more down hero
If you'da started at nothing and counted to ze-e-ro

Oo-oo-oo
Ooh baby, you couldn't have done a worse thing to me
If you'da taken an arrow and run it right through me
It could have been a finer thing
Would have been a major attraction
If no other thing than offering a no love distraction

Distancia


Distancia
Composer(s): Luis Arcaráz
Performer(s): Javier Solís



Una tristeza hay en mí
y es que por fin lograste apartar
de mi vivir tu raro mirar
porque te vas de mí

Pero los besos que yo
te arrebaté al decirme tu adiós
esos ni tú ni nadie ni Dios
me los podrán quitar

Con la distancia tú muy pronto me olvidarás
Sé muy bien que no me recordarás

Pero los besos que yo
te arrebaté al decirme tu adiós
esos ni tú ni nadie ni Dios
me los podrán quitar

Con la distancia tú muy pronto me olvidarás
Sé muy bien que no me recordarás

Pero los besos que yo
te arrebaté al decirme tu adiós
esos ni tú ni nadie ni Dios
me los podrán quitar

Disperato Erotico Stomp


Disperato Erotico Stomp Composer(s): Lucio Dalla Performer(s): Lucio Dalla; Francesco De Gregori



Ti hanno vista bere a una fontana che non ero io
ti hanno vista spogliata la mattina, birichina biricò
Mentre con me non ti spogliavi neanche la notte
ed eran botte, Dio, che botte
ti hanno visto alzare la sottana, la sottana fino al pelo
Che nero!
Poi mi hai detto "poveretto, il tuo sesso dallo al gabinetto"
te ne sei andata via con la tua amica, quella alta, grande fica
Tutte e due a far qualcosa di importante, di unico e di grande
io sto sempre a casa, esco poco, penso solo e sto in mutande

Penso a delusioni a grandi imprese a una Tailandese
ma l'impresa eccezionale, dammi retta, è essere normale
Quindi, normalmente, sono uscito dopo una settimana
non era tanto freddo, e normalmente ho incontrato una puttana

A parte il vestito, i capelli, la pelliccia e lo stivale
aveva dei problemi anche seri, e non ragionava male
Non so se hai presente una puttana ottimista e di sinistra
non abbiamo fatto niente, ma son rimasto solo, solo come un deficiente

Girando ancora un poco ho incontrato uno che si era perduto
gli ho detto che nel centro di Bologna non si perde neanche un bambino
mi guarda con la faccia un pò stravolta e mi dice "sono di Berlino"
Berlino, ci son stato con Bonetti, era un pò triste e molto grande
però mi sono rotto, torno a casa e mi rimetterò in mutande

Prima di salir le scale mi son fermato a guardare una stella
sono molto preoccupato, il silenzio m'ingrossava la cappella
Ho fatto le mie scale tre alla volta, mi son steso sul divano
ho chiuso un poco gli occhi, e con dolcezza è partita la mia mano

Dispatch Box


Dispatch Box
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg



Je prends mon baise-en-ville
J'me tire à Delta Ville
Avec mon
Dispatch box

J'ouvre l'attaché-case
Et j'oublierai tes treize
Ans dans mon
Dispatch box

Je prends mon baise-en-ville
Notre amour ne fut-il
Qu'une tringle futile
Dans le Bronx y a des box-
Ons de rêve j'y trouverai un peu d'ox-
Ygène

Je prends mon baise-en-ville
Je t'ai loupée poupée mais quoi qu'il
En soit j'entrouvre l'attaché-case
Je n'ai que l'avant-goût d'la glaise

Je prends mon baise-en-ville
Tout ça tourne au vinyle
Hélas tes nibars mon hot-dog
Et tes dragues et tes drogues
Ça suffit

Je prends mon baise-en-ville
J'y mets Chessman Karyll
Car il a sa place j'ouvre l'attaché-case
Moi des baises j'en ai Treize
A la douze

Je ferme mon baise-en-ville
Cà t'fait chier tu t'épiles
Les poils pubiques
Ras l'cul de toi
Cinq ans d'légion étrange
Serait-ce pire que toi
L'étrangère

Arrivederci Roma (Claudio Villa)

Composer(s): Pietro Garinei - Sandro Giovannini - Renato Ranucci
Performer(s): Claudio Villa
and multiple other artists



T'invidio turista che arrivi
t'imbevi de fori e de scavi
poi tutto d'un colpo te trovi
fontana de Trevi ch'e tutta pe' te!

Ce sta 'na leggenda romana
legata a 'sta vecchia fontana
per cui se ce butti un soldino
costringi er destino a fatte tornà

E mentre er soldo bacia er fontanone
la tua canzone in fondo è questa qua!

Arrivederci, Roma...
Good bye...au revoir...
Si ritrova a pranzo a Squarciarelli
fettuccine e vino dei Castelli
come ai tempi belli che Pinelli immortalò!

Arrivederci, Roma...
Good bye...au revoir...
Si rivede a spasso in carozzella
e ripenza a quella "ciumachella"
ch'era tanto bellae che gli ha detto sempre "no!"

Stasera la vecchia fontana
racconta la solita luna
la storia vicina e lontana
di quella inglesina col naso all'insù

Io qui, proprio qui l'ho incontrata...
E qui...proprio qui l'ho baciata...
Lei qui con la voce smarrita
m'ha detto:"E' finita ritorno lassù!"

Ma prima di partire l'inglesina
buttò la monetina e sussurrò

Arrivederci, Roma...
Good bye...au revoir...
Voglio ritornare in via Margutta
voglio rivedere la soffitta
dove m'hai tenuta stretta stretta accanto a te!

Arrivederci, Roma...
Non so scordarti più...
Porto in Inghilterra i tuoi tramonti
porto a Londra Trinità dei monti
porto nel mio cuore i giuramenti e gli "I love you!"

Arrivederci, Roma...
Good bye...au revoir...
Mentre l'inglesina s'allontana
un ragazzinetto s'avvicina
va nella fontana pesca un soldo se ne va!
Arrivederci, Roma!

Bossa Nova Baby (German Version)


Bossa Nova Baby
Performer(s): Ted Herold & Peter Kraus



Ich sagte: Schaff mich nicht so Baby
ich bin so müd', meine Füße tun mir weh
Ich mach 'ne kleine Pause, ich komm' nicht mehr mit
mir wird heiß, wenn im Kreis ich mich dreh'

Sie sagte: Hey Bossa Nova Baby, bleib auf dem Parkett, Junge, hier bleibt man dabei
Sie sagte: Komm Bossa Nova Baby, es muss weitergeh'n, sonst ist alles einerlei

Bossa Nova, Bossa Nova

Ich sagte: Hey schönes Kind, nun setz' dich mal, nimm ein Glas, ich schenk' Dir ein
Sie sagte: Schön, schön, schön, doch tanzen im Saal mit 'nem Glas in der Hand ist nicht fein

Sie sagte: Hey Bossa Nova Baby, bleib auf dem Parkett, denn wir haben keine Zeit
Sie sagte: Komm Bossa Nova Baby, denn zum trinken hast Du morgen noch Gelegenheit

Bossa Nova, Bossa Nova

Ich sagte: Komm doch Baby, es ist so heiß und da draußen ist's so kühl
Wir können heimlich uns küssen, weil keiner es weiß und das ist so ein schönes Gefühl

Sie sagte: Hey Bossa Nova Baby, bleib doch hier, ich küss' Dich beim Nachhausegeh'n
Sie sagte: Komm Bossa Nova Baby, tanz mit mir, ohne Dich muss ich nach ander'n seh'n

Bossa Nova Bossa Nova
