At last, at last you're in my arms
You're in my arms where you should be
Not a dream, warm and real
Close to me
At last, at last you're mine to love
You're mine to love forever more
Mine top hold
Mine to be living for
Kiss me and say you always will stay
For come what may
My darling right or wrong
This is where you belong
This is where you belong
At last, at last you're all my own
And all my lonely days are past
Mine to hold, mine to love
Here at last
Kiss me and say you always will stay
For come what may
My darling right or wrong
This is where you belong
Mine to hold, mine to love
Here at last

Does An Elephant Love Peanuts?
Does An Elephant Love Peanuts?
Composer(s): James F. Hanley
Performer(s): Eddie Cantor
You ask me if I love you
Do I? Don't I?
Same old question twenty times a day
I swear by stars above you...
Do I? Don't I?
You're not convinced?
Here's all that I can say
Does an elephant love peanuts?
Does he?
Does a goldfish love a bowl?
Does an ostrich love to stand while
His head's down in a sandpile?
Does a hotdog love a roll?
Does a bumblebee love honey?
Does he?
Does an oyster love a stew?
When it comes to table manners
Does a monkey love bananas?
If he does, then, baby, I love you
Does a horsefly love the horses?
Does he?
Does a squirrel love a nut?
Does a bold gorilla thrill a
Shy romantic miss gorilla?
Does a hobo love a mutt?
Does a tomcat love a back fence?
Does he?
Does a cow just love to moo?
Does a rooster's cock-a-doodle
Make a hen go off her noodle?
If he does, then baby, I love you
Do mosquitos love a fat man?
Do they?
Does a piggy love to squeal?
Does a goose love to meander
When she's found a proper gander?
Has an eel got sex appeal?
Does a big giraffe love necking?
Does he?
Does a dove just love to coo?
Does a herring feel quite tickled
Just as soon as he gets pickled?
If he does, then baby, I love you!

First performance by: Glenn Miller and His Orch. - 1942
Covered by multiple other artists
At last my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Ohh yeah yeah
At last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
I found a dream, that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Ohh yeah yeah
You smile, you smile
Oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last
I found a dream, that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Ohh yeah yeah
You smile, you smile
Oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last
At last... at last

Doe Iets
Doe Iets
((Adapted from: Show Me (Julie Andrews & John Michael King) - 1956))
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe - Seth Gaaikema
Performer(s): Margriet de Groot & Richard Prince
Freddy:
Jij bent een roos, die staat te geuren
vol van kleuren
ongerept en pril...
Jij bent het fluiten van een merel
En op de wereld is geen mooier...
Eliza:
Stil!
Stil! Stil! Stil! Wees in Godsnaam stil!
Ik hoor aldoor maar woorden
van hem en van jou!
Begrijp je dan niets van een vrouw?
Altijd maar weer
bloemen in knop
Ach, hou toch op!
Doe iets!
Altijd opnieuw
een merel die fluit
Ach! Schei toch uit!
Doe iets!
Fluiten soms de merels zo maar midden in de nacht?
Je hebt veel te lang met alles gewacht
Al dat mooie praten is zo vrees'lijk ouderwets
Er is geen tijd voor geklets!
Is dan je mond
alleen voor de show?
Sta daar niet zo!
Doe iets! Doe iets!
Denk nou maar niet, dat je me ooit
met praten en zingen ontdooit
nu of nooit!
Altijd die lach
altijd dat lied!
Wil je dan niet?
Doe iets!
Zet nou niet weer
zo'n zonnig gezicht
En geen gedicht!!
Doe iets!
Heb je dan geen lippen die verlangen naar een kus?
We zijn nu alleen, wat aarzel je dus?
Mag ik soms es weten, wat je eig'lijk van me wil!
Stil, of ik geef nog een gil!
Zeg niet hoeveel
zeg niet waarom!
Kijk niet zo dom!
Doe iets! Doe iets!
Wacht niet te lang
Straks is opeens m'n voorhoofd in rimpels geplooid
Nu of nooit!

Stop And Smell The Roses
Stop And Smell The Roses
Composer(s): Doc Severinsen - Mac Davis
Performer(s): Mac Davis
and multiple other artists
Hey Mister
Where you going in such a hurry
Don't you think it's time you realized
There's a whole lot more to life than work and worry
The sweetest things in life are free
And there right before your eyes
You got to Stop and Smell the roses
You've got to count your many blessings everyday
You're gonna find your way to heaven is a rough and rocky road
If you don't Stop and Smell the roses along the way
Before you went to work this morning in the city
Did you spent some time with your family
Did you kiss your wife and tell her that she's pretty
Did you take your children to your breast and love them tenderly
You got to Stop and Smell the roses
You've got to count your many blessings everyday
You're gonna find your way to heaven is a rough and rocky road
If you don't Stop and Smell the roses along the way
Did you ever take a walk through the forest
Stop and dream a while among the trees
Well you can look up through the leaves right straight to heaven
You can almost hear the voice of God
In each any every breeze
You got to Stop and Smell the Roses
You've got to count your many blessings everyday
You're gonna find your way to heaven is a rough and rocky road
If you don't Stop and Smell the Roses along the way
You got to Stop and Smell the roses
You've got to count your many blessings everyday
You're gonna find your way to heaven is a rough and rocky road
If you don't Stop and Smell the roses along the way

Doctor's Orders
Doctor's Orders
Composer(s): Geoff Stephens - Roger Greenaway - Roger Cook
First release by: Sunny Leslie - 1974
Hello?
Hiya honey
It's me I want to see the doctor today
"Cos ever since you've been gone
I've had a pain deep down inside
He said there's nothing really wrong with me
I'm just missing my man, so honey
Please come on home as soon as you can
Doctor's orders say there's only one thing for me
Nothing he can do 'cos only you can cure me
Says in my condition love's the best physician
He prescribed a potion full of warm emotion every day
A lovin' spoonful to be taken
It's the only way to stop this empty
Heart of mine from breakin
Won't get better till you're back again he told me
Doctor's orders need your loving arms to hold me
Darling now I know there ain't no doubt about it
I'm so hooked on your love I can't live without it
You're away but please don't treat me like a stranger
Doctor's orders say one kiss from you and I am out of danger
Please say you understand how I feel honey
I know you've got a lot of things on your mind
Oh but I'm missing you so bad
Please oh please come on home
Doctor's orders say there's only one thing for me
Nothing he can do 'cos only you can cure me
Says in my condition love's the best physician
He prescribed a potion full of warm emotion
Won't get better till you're back again he told me

At A Perfume Counter
At A Perfume Counter
Composer(s): Joe Burke - Edgar Leslie
Performer(s): The Dorsey Brothers
Delightful was the day
In gay Paris
I gave my heart away
Oui, oui, Chérie
At a perfume counter
On the Rue de la Paix
The flowers set an air
In gay Paris
Encouraged me to care
Oui, oui, Chérie
At a perfume counter
On the Rue de la Paix
The conversation was blended
With romance in May
But your vacation soon ended
And you went away
If you remember this
Come back to me
And say it with a kiss
Oui, oui, Chérie
At a perfume counter
On the Rue de la Paix

Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief
Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief
Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael - Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): Betty Hutton
There's a doctor livin' in your town
There's a lawyer and an Indian, too
And neither doctor, lawyer nor Injun chief
Could love you any more than I do
There's a barrel of fish in the ocean
There's a lot of little birds in the blue
And 'Neither fish nor fowl" says the wise old owl
Could love you any more than I do
No! No! No! it couldn't be true
That anyone else could love you like I do
I'm gonna warn all the dead-eyed dicks
That you're the chick with the slickest tricks
And every tick of my ticker ticks for you, follow through
Tell the doc to stick to his practice
Tell the lawyer to settle his case
Send the Injun chief and his tommy-hawk
Back to little Rain-In-the-Face
'Cause you
Know! Know! Know! it couldn't be true
That anyone else could love you like I do
(No! No! No! it couldn't be true)
(That anyone else could love you like I do)
And, confidentially, I confess
I sent a note to the local press
That I'll be changin' my home address for you, follow through
Tell the doc to stick to his practice
Tell the lawyer to settle his case
Send the Injun chief and his tommy-hawk
Back to little Rain-In-the-Face
'Cause you
Know! Know! Know! it couldn't be true
That anyone else could love you like I do
No! No! No! it couldn't be true
That anyone else could love you like I do
I'm gonna send a hot communeek
To warn the boys down at Cripple Creek
That every dimple on your dimpled cheek is mine, so to speak
Tell the (doc!) to stick to his practice
Tell the (lawyer!) to settle his case
Send the (Injun chief!) and his tommy-hawk
Back to little Rain-In-the-Face (woo-woo-woo, woo-woo-woo)
'Cause you
Know! Know! Know! it couldn't be true
That anyone else could love you like I do
(Like I do)
(Like I do)
(Like I do)
Like I do!

At A Georgia Camp Meeting
At A Georgia Camp Meeting
Composer(s): Kerry Mills
Performer(s): John Philip Sousa
and multiple other artists
A camp meeting took place, by the colored race; way down in Georgia
There were folks large and small, lanky, lean, fat and tall, at this great Georgia camp meeting
When church was out, how the "sisters" did shout, they were so happy
But the young folks were tired and wished to be inspired, and hired a big brass band
When the big brass band began to play pretty music so gay, hats were thrown away
Thought them foolish people their necks would break
When they quit their laughing and talking and went to walking for a big choc'late cake
The old "sisters" raised sand, when they first heard the band; way down in Georgia
The preacher did glare and the deacons did stare, at the young people prancing
The band played so sweet that nobody could eat, 'twas so entrancing
So the church folks agreed it was not a sinful deed, and they joined in with the rest

Doctor! Doctor!
Composer(s): Tom Bailey - Alannah Currie - Joe Leeway
Performer(s): Thompson Twins; The Blood Brothers
I saw you there, just standing there
And I thought I was only dreaming yeah
I kissed you then, then once again
You said you would come and dance with me
Dance with me across the sea
And we could feel the motion of a thousand dreams
Oh, Doctor, doctor, can't you see I'm burning, burning
Oh, Doctor, doctor, is this love I'm feeling?
Ships at night give such delight
We all leave before the morning light
Please don't go no please don't go
Cause I don't want to stay here on my own
Oh, Doctor, doctor, can't you see I'm burning, burning
Oh, Doctor, doctor, is this love I'm feeling?
Oh, Doctor, doctor, can't you see I'm burning, burning
Oh, Doctor, doctor, is this love I'm feeling?
Fever breathe your love on me (breathe your love)
Take away my name (take away)
Fever lay your hands on me (breathe your love)
Never be the same
Oh, Doctor, doctor, can't you see I'm burning, burning
Oh, Doctor, doctor, is this love I'm feeling?
Oh, Doctor, doctor, can't you see I'm burning, burning
Oh, Doctor, doctor, is this love I'm feeling?
Come with me and make believe
We can travel to eternity

Lime and limpid green, a second scene
A fight between the blue you once knew
Floating down, the sound resounds
Around the icy waters underground
Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda and Titania
Neptune, Titan, Stars can frighten
Lime and limpid green, a second scene
A fight between the blue you once knew
Floating down, the sound resounds
Around the icy waters underground
Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda and Titania
Neptune, Titan, Stars can frighten
Blinding signs flap
Flicker, flicker, flicker blam
Pow, pow
Stairway scare Dan dare who's there?
Lime and limpid green, the sounds around
The icy waters under
Lime and limpid green, the sounds around
The icy waters underground

Doctor! Doctor! (The Who)
Doctor! Doctor!
Composer(s): John Enwhistle
Performer(s): The Who
Doctor, there's something wrong with me
My health is not all that it used to be
My heart is out of beat, I got chokers on my feet
My eyesight's getting dimmer, I can't see
Doctor thanks for seeing me today, I'm glad
I've got every sickness there is to be had
I had whooping cough last month
And today I've got the mumps
And tomorrow I'll catch chicken pox as well
Doctor doctor doctor make me well
I've not got long to go now I can tell
Doctor doctor doctor make me well
I've not got long to go I can tell
I've not got long to go I can tell
Those pills I took have no effect at all
Just the other day I had a nasty fall
And I think I broke my jaw when it hit the kitchen floor
And I'm shrinking last week I was five foot four
I've been getting shivers lately, is it flu?
I know the bug is going round, what can I do?
It's about to pick on me, I've still got the other three
Do you think I caught smallpox I'd get flu?
chorus
Do you think it's time that I made out my will?
I'll leave everything to you to pay my bill
Just how long is there to go
Please tell me I want to know
But on second thoughts don't tell me, I'm too ill

Astronomy
Astronomy
Composer(s): Joe Bouchard - Albert Bouchard - Sandy Pearlman
First release by: Blue Öyster Cult - 1974
The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Like acid and oil on a madman's face
His reason tends to fly away
Like lesser birds on the four winds
Like silver scrapes in May
Now the sands become a crust
And most of you have gone away
Come Susy dear, let's take a walk
Just out there upon the beach
I know you'll soon be married
And you want to know where the winds come from
Well it's never said at all
On the map that Carrie reads
Behind the clock back there you know
At the four winds bar
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Four winds at the four winds bar
Two doors locked and windows barred
One door let to take you in
The other one just mirrors it
Hey, hey, hey, hey
In hellish glare and inference
The other one's a duplicate
The queenly flux, eternal light
Or the light that never warms (repeat twice)
The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Miss Carrie nurse and Suzy dear
Would find themselves at the four winds bar
It's the nexus of the crisis
The origin of storms
Just the place to hopelessly
Encounter time and then came me
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Call me Desdenova, eternal light
These gravely digs of mine
Will surely prove a sight
And don't forget my dog, fixed and consequent
Astronomy...a star (repeat indefinitely)

Performer(s): Lynsey de Paul
Aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah
Help me with some communication
For I don't know where I ought to begin
At a tender age - or maybe later?
Are all your patients very different?
Or are they in the state I'm in?
Doctor, doctor
Is it just a late reactionary block or an incurable disease?
Won't you analyse me please?
Aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah
Animals must be very lucky
Save a problematic tortoise or two
For their life is based upon intuition
Like instinctive calculation
Am I making sense to you?
Doctor, doctor,
You'd better find the time to help me
reverse the clock
Or I won't pay your fees
Won't you analyse me please
Aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah
Ooooh
Suddenly I've found inspiration
From all this information that you have reaped
So may I go now? Pay what I owe
You know with all this lying down
I think I'm gonna fall asleep
Doctor, doctor
Just give me some perscription
To relieve the shock of
slight catastrophy
And don't you analyse me please
Aah aah aah aah
Doctor, doctor
Aah aah aah aah
Doctor, doctor

Velha estampa na parede
A toalha do jantar
Na fumaça um anjo negro vai chegar
Por trás da veneziana
A cigana me falar
Que o inferno monstruoso vai entrar
Mas se o astro vagabundo
Na verdade vai chegar
Não quero ver o fim do mundo
Vou dormir em teu jardim...

Astral Weeks
Composer(s): Van Morrison
First release by: Van Morrison - 1968
If I ventured in the slipstream
Between the viaducts of your dream
Where immobile steel rims crack
And the ditch in the back roads stop
Could you find me?
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
To lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again
To be born again
From the far side of the ocean
If I put the wheels in motion
And I stand with my arms behind me
And I'm pushin' on the door
Could you find me?
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
To lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again
To be born again
There you go
Standin' with the look of avarice
Talkin' to Huddie Ledbetter
Showin' pictures on the wall
Whisperin' in the hall
And pointin' a finger at me
There you go, there you go
Standin' in the sun darlin'
With your arms behind you
And your eyes before
There you go
Takin' good care of your boy
Seein' that he's got clean clothes
Puttin' on his little red shoes
I see you know he's got clean clothes
A-puttin' on his little red shoes
A-pointin' a finger at me
And here I am
Standing in your sad arrest
Trying to do my very best
Lookin' straight at you
Comin' through, darlin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah
If I ventured in the slipstream
Between the viaducts of your dreams
Where immobile steel rims crack
And the ditch in the back roads stop
Could you find me
Would you kiss-a my eyes
Lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again
To be born again
To be born again
In another world
In another world
In another time
Got a home on high
Ain't nothing but a stranger in this world
I'm nothing but a stranger in this world
I got a home on high
In another land
So far away
So far away
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
In another time
In another place
In another time
In another place
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
We are goin' up to heaven
We are goin' to heaven
In another time
In another place
In another time
In another place
In another face

Doctor My Eyes
Doctor My Eyes
Composer(s): Jackson Browne
First release by: Jackson Browne - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists
Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long
'Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where there will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it's later than it seems
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it's too late for me
Doctor, my eyes
Cannot see the sky
Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry
