Do It Yourself


Do It Yourself Composer(s): Jule Styne - Betty Comden - Adolph Green Performer(s): Dean Martin



You've gotta do it, you've gotta do it
Gotta do it all alone
No one else will do it for you
You're on your own

Do it
It may be love or war or mopping up the floor, but just do it
Don't send a friend who's true to pitch your woo for you or you'll rue it
Do it yourself

Don't fake it
If you're a fake, you won't make it
Wait for your break, and then take it
For time and tide they wait for no man, go, go, go, man

Do it
To prove the point at hand just look at old Miles Standish who blew it
He said "John Alden, will you go and ask Priscilla to do it?"
Miles got the heaveho

"Man," Priscilla said, "Now that Miles is gone
Speak for yourself, dear John"
He blew it, so do it, do it
Do it yourself

Marmer, Staal En Steen Vergaan


Marmer, Staal En Steen Vergaan
Performer(s): Trea Dobbs - 1965

Versions In Other Languages:
1965 - Marmor, Stein Und Eisen Bricht (by Drafi Deutscher)
1966 - Marble Breaks And Iron Bends (by Drafi Deutscher)



Als de dag je weer regen bracht
Dam dam, dam dam
Is er een die jou tegenlacht
Dam dam, dam dam

Marmer, staal en steen vergaan
Onze liefde blijft bestaan
Alles, alles gaat voorbij
Maar niet jouw trouw aan mij

Moet ik soms eens bij jou vandaan
Dam dam, dam dam
Weet dan toch blijft mijn trouw bestaan
Dam dam, dam dam

Marmer, staal en steen vergaan
Onze liefde blijft bestaan
Alles, alles gaat voorbij
Maar niet jouw trouw aan mij

Marmer, staal en steen vergaan
Onze liefde blijft bestaan
Alles, alles gaat voorbij
Maar niet jouw trouw aan mij

Als ik 's avonds voor jou weer zing
Dam dam, dam dam
Zie ik de glans van jouw gouden ring
Dam dam, dam dam

Marmer, staal en steen vergaan
Onze liefde blijft bestaan
Alles, alles gaat voorbij
Maar niet jouw trouw aan mij

Do It Or Die


Do It Or Die Composer(s): Buddy Buie - J.R. Cobb - Ronnie Hammond Performer(s): Atlanta Rhythm Section



Don't let your troubles make you cry
Don't waste a moment wonderin' why
When ev'rything goes wrong
You have to go on
And do it or die
Do it or die now
Stand your ground

Don't let your bad breaks go gettin' you down
Even when times get rough
And you've had enough
You still gotta try
Do it no matter what the people say
They don't even know you

Die before you let them stand in your way
(Don't you know that)
You should know that life is a gamble all along
Winners or losers you keep rollin' on
So go on and roll the dice
You only live twice
So do it or die

As I Came In By Fisherrow


As I Came In By Fisherrow
(Traditional)



As I came in by Fisherrow, Musselburgh was near me
I threw off my mussel pock and courted with my deary

Up stairs, doon stairs, timmer stairs fears me
I thought it lang to lie ma lane when I'm sae near my deary

Oh had her apron bidden doon, the kirk wad ne'er hae kent it
But since the word's gane through the toon,
My dear I canna mend it

But ye maun mount the cutty stool and I maun mount the pillar
And that's the way the poor folks dae, because they hae nae siller

Rot Ist Dein Mund


Rot Ist Dein Mund
Performer(s): Roy Black



Rot ist dein mund
Deine augen himmelblauw
Das ist der grund
Du weisst es ganz genau

Ich sehne mich tag und nacht
Und träume immer
immer nur von dir
Ich möchte glücklich sein mit dir
Mit dir allein

Rot ist dein mund
Deine augen himmelblauw
Das ist der grund
Oh du geliebte frau

Wann kommt der tag wo du mir sagst
Das ich dich küssen darf
Ich lieb nur dich
Du schöne frau

Immer zu denk ich nur an dich
Du allein bist die frau fur mich
Wann werd ich dich
einmall wieder sehn
Den nur bei dir war es so schön

Rot ist dein mund
Deine augen himmelblauw
Das ist der grund
Oh du geliebte frau

Wann komt der tag wo du mir sagst
Das ich dich küssen darf
Ich lieb nur dich
Du schöne frau

Do It Again (The Beach Boys)


Do It Again Composer(s): Brian Wilson - Mike Love First release by: The Beach Boys - 1969



It's automatic when I
Talk with old friends
The conversation turns to
Girls we knew when their
Hair was soft and long and the
Beach was the place to go
Suntanned bodies and
Waves of sunshine the
California girls and a
Beautiful coastline
Warmed up weather
Let's get together and
Do it again

With a girl the lonely sea looks good
Makes your nighttimes warm and out of sight

Been so long
(Hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now)
(Hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now)

Well I've been thinking 'bout
All the places we've surfed and danced and
All the faces we've missed so let's get
Back together and do it again

As Far As I'm Concerned


As Far As I'm Concerned
Performer(s): Nat King Cole



As far as I'm concerned
That amber moon that can make the tides return
Won't match the light within my eyes
The night I learned that I'm the one you'll always love

As far as I'm concerned
The mid day sun that can make the planets turn
Is cold as ice compared with how your kisses burn
And show my heart the warmth of love

Long, long ago days were empty life was oh such a slow caravan
But now that you're here how the hours tumble by and the days disappear
They say we live and learn but what care I
If I never ever learn why robins fly away
As long as they return and I love you and you love me
For that's as far as I'm concerned

They say we live and learn but what care I
If I never ever learn why robins fly away
As long as they return and I love you and you love me
For that's as far as I'm concerned

Do It Again (Steely Dan)


Do It Again Composer(s): Walter Becker - Donald Fagen First release by: Steely Dan - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists



In the mornin you go gunnin' For the man who stole your water And you fire till he is done in But they catch you at the border And the mourners are all singin' As they drag you by your feet But the hangman isn't hangin' And they put you on the street You go back Jack do it again Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round You go back Jack do it again When you know she's no high climber Then you find your only friend In a room with your two timer And you're sure you're near the end Then you love a little wild one And she brings you only sorrow All the time you know she's smilin' You'll be on your knees tomorrow You go back Jack do it again Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round You go back Jack do it again Now you swear and kick and beg us That you're not a gamblin' man Then you find you're back in Vegas With a handle in your hand Your black cards can make you money So you hide them when you're able In the land of milk and honey You must put them on the table You go back Jack do it again Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round You go back Jack do it again

As Dreams Go By


As Dreams Go By
Performer(s): Bette Midler



When the white bird flies
from your heart to mine
I surrender every part of me
to the tenderness

Could it be the wine?
In your eyes stars shine
and I'm feeling like a child again
Oh, it's taken me a little time
to find words to say

Stay
Make this forever
and lay love in my life
Come what may
cherish each moment of love
as dreams go by

If the first glow fades
from the love we've made
I will hold you closer in the night
under heart and key

When there are hills to climb
and your world won't rhyme
I will fight until I get it right
'Cause your part of me
the heart of me
if only you'll stay

Stay
Make this forever
and lay love in my life
Come what may
cherish each moment of love
as dreams go by

The trees and the towers are burning
Fear walks on the sea
My soul in the wasteland is yearning
What does tomorrow hold for me?
Oh, no

What can I say?
Just that I need you
With you here by my side, we can turn even the desert evergreen
as dreams go by

Oh, won't you stay?
Make this forever
and lay love in my life
Come what may
cherish each moment of love
as dreams go by

Stay
Make this forever
Lay love in my life
Come what may
cherish each moment of love
as dreams go by

Do It Again (Irene Bordoni)


Do It Again
((Dutch Version: Doe 'T Nog Es Een Keer (Greetje Kauffeld) - 1997))
Composer(s): George Gershwin - Buddy De Silva
First performance: Irene Bordoni - 1922
Covered by multiple other artists



You really shouldn't have done it
You hadn't any right
I really shouldn't have let you
Kiss me
And although it was wrong
I never was strong
So as long as you've begun it
And you know you shouldn't have done it

Oh
Do it again
I may say no no no no no
But do it again
My lips just ache
To have you take the kiss
That's waiting for you
You know if you do
You won't regret it
Come and get it

Oh
No one is near
I may cry oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh
But no one can hear
Mamma may scold me
Coz' she told me
It was naughty but then

Please
Do it again
Yes do it again
And again and again and again and again and again
Turn out the light
And hold me close
In your arms
All through the night
I know tomorrow morning
You will say
Goodbye and Amen

But until then...
Please do it again

As Curvas Da Estrada De Santos


As Curvas Da Estrada De Santos
Composer(s): Roberto Carlos - Erasmo Carlos
Performer(s): Elis Regina



Se você pretende saber quem eu sou
Eu posso lhe dizer
Entre no meu carro na estrada de Santos
E você vai me conhecer
Você vai pensar que eu não gosto nem mesmo de mim
E que na minha idade só a velocidade
Anda junto a mim

Só ando sozinho
E no meu caminho o tempo é cada vez menor
Preciso de ajuda
Por favor me acuda
Eu vivo muito só
Se acaso numa curva eu me lembro do meu mundo
Eu piso mais fundo
Corrijo num segundo
Não posso parar

Eu prefiro as curvas da estrada de Santos
Onde eu tento esquecer
Um amor que eu tive
E vi pelo espelho na distância se perder

Mas se o amor que eu perdi eu novamente encontrar
As curvas se acabam
E na estrada de Santos não vou mais passar

Ilusão
Ilusão
Veja as coisas como elas são
A carroça
A dama
O louco
O trunfo
A mão
O enforcado
A dançarina
Numa cortina
O encarnado
A dançarina, o encantado
O encarnado numa cortina
O enforcado

Veja as coisas como elas são
O curinga
A noiva
O noivo
O sim

Desfigurado
O cavaleiro, o prateado
Do outro lado do seu espelho
Desfigurado

Ilusão

Veja as coisas como elas são
A fortuna
A roda
O raio
A imensidão
O estrelado
O obscuro
O seu
Embaralhado

Do I Worry?


Do I Worry? Composer(s): Stanley Cowan - Bobby Worth Performer(s): The Ink Spots



Do I worry cause you're stepping out
Do I worry cause you got me in doubt
Though your kisses aren't right, do I give a bag of beans
Do I stay home every night and read my magazine

Am I frantic, cause we lost that spark
Is there panic when it starts turning dark
And when evening shadows creep, do I loose any sleep over you
Do I worry, you can bet your life I do

Do I worry when the iceman calls
Do I worry if Niagra Falls
Though you treat me just like dirt
You think I give a snap
Are my feelings really hurt
When you're sitting in somebody else's lap
Am I curious when the gossip flies
Am I furious bout your little white lies
And when all our evenings end
Cause you got a sick friend that needs you
Do I worry, honey, you know dog gone well I do

Am I frantic, cause we've lost that spark
Is there panic when it starts turning dark
And when evening shadows creep
Do I lose any sleep over you
Do I worry, you can bet your life, I do

As Always You Were Wrong Again


As Always You Were Wrong Again
Performer(s): UB40



We'll raise the price of parking fines
A boost for the economy
If that don't work we close the mines
And starve the poor of industry

We proved again we rule the waves
A blow for white democracy
That Britains never shall be slaves
So long as they agree with me

We'll close the roads, divide the land
Put out the rage that burns within
Break the link of dirty hands
At any cost we'll always win

Keep them poor and wanting more
Deprive them of their basic rights
The hunger banging at their door
Will take away their will to fight

As always you were wrong again
To us a little seems a lot
Don't turn your back on desperate men
'Cause we can see how much you've got

(Do I Figure) In Your Life?


(Do I Figure) In Your Life?
Composer(s): Pete Dello
First release by: Honeybus - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



Hey there, what you gonna do now?
You made yourself some new friends
Knocking around with all those wide people
They make me nervous
When the things they say cut me like a knife
Do I still figure in your life?

Hey now, I hardly know your face
It's got a brand new look about it
Hard to trace the tender way you look
The way you smile
To think that I once took you for my wife
Do I still figure in your life?
Do I still figure in your life?

You say hello - say hello
But I think you want to go - I think you got to go
To think that I once took you for my wife
Do I still figure in your life?
Do I still figure in your life? Do I?
Do I still figure in your life? Do I?
Do I still figure in your life? Do I?
Do I still figure in your life?

As Always I Remain


As Always I Remain
Performer(s): Night Ranger



Here I am
My heart in a sling
Holding on to memories
Wondering what might have been
There you are
Lost in a dream
Full of life yet loneliness
Has caused you to bleed
I know
Where there's room enough for two
Take a trip to where we've been
The water's hushed underneath thge bridge... again
As always I remain

So where are we now
Life is just a daisy chain
Your innocence my lost refrain
Where are we now
Never said you'd stay the same
As always I remain

Sudden call
It's the end of the line
Or is it just the start of something
Maybe... we'll see
Where will you go
And who will you be
Me I'll just be singing songs
Crossing fingers
There's always something going on
As always I remain
As always I remain

So where are we now
Life is just a daisy chain
Your innocence my lost refrain
Where are we now
Never said you'd stay the same
As always I remain

I must admit I'm an untimely man
Appearing to calloused to all
There's a right way a wrong way
As always I will
Remain on this road right or wrong

So where are we now
Life is just a daisy chain
Your innocence my lost refrain
Where are we now
Never said you'd stay the same
As always I remain
As always I remain

Do I Love You? (The Ronettes)


Do I Love You? Composer(s): Peter Andreoli - Vini Poncia - Phil Spector First release by: The Ronettes - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists



Do I want you for my baby?
Do I want you by my side?
Do I wanna run & kiss your lips
And say you're my lovin' guy?
Oh oh oh (oh oh) oh oh oh (oh oh oh)
(Do I love you? Yes I love you)

Do I need your arms around me?
Do I live my life for you?
Do I always feel so warm each time
I look in your eyes of blue?
Oh oh oh (oh oh) oh oh oh (oh oh oh)
(Do I love you? Yes I love you) oh oh

And do I need you every minute of the day?
And would I die if you should ever go away?
And does it mean so much to feel your tender touch?
Do I love you? Do I love you?

Oh I swear I'm gonna get you
If it takes me all my life
I'll hope & pray & dream & sleep
'Cause I'm gonna be your wife
Oh oh oh (oh oh) oh oh oh (oh oh oh)
(Do I love you? Yes I love you)

(repeat):
(Do I love you? Yes I love you)

As


As
Performer(s): Stevie Wonder



As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early may
Just as hate knows love's the cure
You can rest your mind assure
That I'll be loving you always

As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older every day
Just as all that's born is new
You know what I say is true
That I'll be loving you always

(Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky)
Always
(Until the ocean covers every mountain high)
Always
(Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea)
Always
(Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream)

Did you know that true love asks for nothing
No no her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day

Just as time knew to move on since the beginning
And the seasons know exactly when to change
Just as kindness knows no shame
Know through all your joy and pain
That I'll be loving you always

As today I know I'm living
But tomorrow could make me the past
But that I mustn't fear
For I'll know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind
'Cause I'll be loving you always

(Until the day is night and night becomes the day)
Always
(Until the trees and seas just up and fly away)
Always
(Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four)
Always
(Until the day that is the day that are no more)
Did you know you're loved by somebody
(Until the day the earth starts turnin' right to left)
Always
(Until the earth just for the sun denies itself)
I'll be lovin you forever
(Until dear mother nature says her work is through)
Always
(Until the day that you are me and I am you)
Always
(Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean severs every mountain high)
Always mm mm

We all know sometimes life hates and troubles
Can make you wish you were born in another time and space
But you can bet your lifetimes that and twice it's double
That God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed
So make sure when you say you're in it, but not of it
You're not helpin' to make this earth
A place sometimes called hell
Change your words into truths
And then change that truth into love
And maybe our children's grandchildren
And their great grandchildren will tell
I'll be loving you until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
