Lady Godiva's Operation
Lady Godiva's Operation
Composer(s): Lou Reed
First release by: The Velvet Underground - 1968
Lady Godiva here dressed so demurely
Pats the head of another curly hair boy, just another toy
Sick with silence she weeps sincerly
Saying words that have oh so clearly been said
So long ago
Draperies wrapped gently around her shoulder
Life has made her that much bolder now
That she’s found out how
Dressed in silk, latin, lace and envy
Pride and joy of the latest funny faire
Pretty passing care
Hair today now dipped in the water
Making love to every poor daughter’s son
Isn’t it fun
Now today propping frace with envy
Lady Godiva peers to see if anyone’s there
And hasn’t a care
Doctor is coming the nurse thinks sweetly
Turning on the machine and neatlypump air
The body lies bare
Shaed and hairless what onces was screaming
Now lies silent and almost sleeping
The brain must have gone away
Strapped securely to the white table
Ether caused the body to wither and writhe
Underneath the wight light
Doctor arrives with knife and baggage
Sees the growth as just so much cabbage
That now
Must be cut away
Now comes the moment of great! great! decision!
The doctor is making his first incision!
One goes here - one goes there
The ether tubes leaking says someone who’s sloppy
Patient it seems is not so well sleeping
The screams echo up the hall
Don’t panic someone give him pentathol instantly
Doctor removes his blade
Cagily so from the brain
By m count of ten
The head won’t move

Balm In Gilead
Balm In Gilead
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Harry Belafonte
and multiple other artists
There is a balm in Gilead
To make the wounded whole
There is a balm in Gilead
To heal the sin-sick soul
Sometimes I feel discouraged
And think my work's in vain
But then the Holy Spirit
Revives my soul again
There is a balm in Gilead
To make the wounded whole
There is a balm in Gilead
To heal the sin-sick soul
If you can't pray like Peter
If you can't pray like Paul
Go home and tell your neighbor
"He died to save us all"
There is a balm in Gilead
To make the wounded whole
There is a balm in Gilead
To heal the sin-sick soul

Lady Godiva
Lady Godiva
Composer(s): Gordon Mills - Mike Leander
Performer(s): Peter & Gordon
and multiple other artists
Seventeen, a beauty queen
She made a ride that caused a scene
In the town
Her long blonde hair
Hangin' down around her knees
All the cats who dig striptease
Prayin' for a little breeze
Her long blonde hair
Falling down across her arms
Hiding all the lady's charms
Lady Godiva
She found fame and made her name
A hollywood director came into town
And said to her
"How'd you like to be a star?"
"You're a girl that could go far"
"'specially dressed the way you are"
She smiled at him
Gave her pretty head a shake
That was Lady G's mistake
A-hey-hey-hey
Lady Godiva
He directs certificate 'X'
And people now are craning their necks
To see her
'cause she's a star
One that everybody knows
Finished with the striptease shows
Now she can't afford her clothes
Her long blonde hair
Lyin' on the barber's floor
Doesn't need it long anymore
Lady Godiva

And the girl in the corner is ev'ryone's mourner

Everyone attack and it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said
Boy, I wanna warn ya, it'll turn into a ballroom blitz

And the music was soothing, and they all started grooving

It's it's a ballroom blitz, it's it's a ballroom blitz
It's it's a ballroom blitz, yeah, it's a ballroom blitz

Lady Fuchsia
Lady Fuchsia
Composer(s): John Ford - Richard Hudson
Performer(s): The Strawbs
A child denied all love can't weep
But bravely bears her life alone
So Fuchsia as you try to sleep
You dream of friends you've never known
In troubled years when no-one cared
You searched for comfort everywhere
For heavy burdens never shared
Became too much for one to bear
So much to give
But those who live
Don't know of you
Your fantasy
Of love to be
Cannot come true
Oh Lady Fuchsia
Oh Lady Fuchsia
Now poised above the castle walls
You look your last on lonely skies
Night owls pray for you as they call
Returning ere the dawn shall rise
Your loveless life
Has led you here
Not knowing why
Your troubled mind's
No longer clear
To live or die
Oh Lady Fuchsia
Oh Lady Fuchsia
Oh Lady Fuchsia
Oh Lady Fuchsia

Balloons
Balloons
Performer(s): Sally Oldfield
I remember the day when I was the night
And the sun was my eyes in the moon
But I changed into day and the night flew away
And I sang to my lover the moon
I remember the sound when my hair felt the ground
And the words that were written on you
But you were not there so I slept on the stair
And you came in a lemon balloon
Who are you?
I remember the breeze and the soft creamy cheese
That we gave to the dowes on the lawn
But the grass was so green that it soaked up the cream
And the dowes flew away and were gone
But I saw the smiles that were deep in their eyes
And saw the joke was on you but I could not laugh
I went back to the grass and you came in a rainbow balloon
Who are you?

Composer(s): Allie Wrubel
Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters
and multiple other artists
She left twenty-nine broken hearts
Broken in twenty-nine parts
Now there are twenty-nine fellas complainin' to their moms
About the lady from 29 Palms
She got twenty-nine Cadillacs
Twenty-nine sables from Sach's
They came from twenty-nine fellas who never had their arms
Around the lady from 29 Palms
She's a yip-yip-yippy-eyed dolly
A new kinda gal of the west
And yip-yip-yippy by-golly
Whatever she does, she does her best
She rides twenty-nine trails to bliss
Knows twenty-nine ways how to kiss
She is a gal that you dream of, you'd love to have your arms
Around the lady from 29 Palms

Ballin' The Jack
Ballin' The Jack
Composer(s): James Henry Burris - Chris Smith
Performer(s): Judy Garland & Gene Kelly
and multiple other artists
From coast to coast
From Canada to Mexico
They're doin' a new dance
A tried-and-a-true dance
That will sweep the land
And you'll think it's so grand
You'll have to learn how to do it
So please don't boo woo it
Coz we've got this little dance
That's gonna rise to fame
It's sure to put most any other dance to shame
The turkey-trot, the bunny-hug, the tickley-toe
Will be forgotten when we start to go!
Mr. Leader, won't you start the syncopation?
And we'll begin our little demonstration...
Now, first you put your two knees
Close up tight
Then you sway it to the left
Then you sway it to the right
Step around the floor kind of nice and light
Then you twist around and twist around
With all of your might
Stretch your lovin' arms straight out in space
Then you do the eagle rock with style and grace
Swing your foot way round and bring it back
Now that's what I call ballin' the jack!

Lady Divine
Lady Divine
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Oh toi ma foudre blanche
Je ne pouvais pas te respirer
Pourtant tu vois je flanche
Quand j'ai trop besoin d'oublier
Mes blues et mes déprimes
Tout s'envole en fumée
Tu me tiens par le rêve
Tu me tiens pas le bout du nez
Oh ma divine
Lady, lady, lady ma divine
Ouais, lady, lady, lady ma divine
Oh toi ma stupéfiante
La seule qui sait me chouchouter
Tu es trop excitante
Et tu sais si bien m'énerver
Mes peurs et puis mon spleen
Tu peux tout effacer
Tu me prends à tes lignes
Tu me tiens par le bout du nez
Oh ma divine
Lady, lady, lady ma divine
Lady, lady, lady ma divine
Oh ma divine
Lady, lady, lady ma divine
Lady, lady, lady ma divine
J'n'ai pas un gramme d'excuse
Je suis coupable de t'aimer
Et tous ceux qui m'accusent
N'ont jamais du te rencontrer
Mon envie ma détresse
Mon secret mon pécher
Ma folie mon ivresse
Mais où veux-tu donc m'emmener
Oh ma divine
Lady, lady, lady ma divine
Ouais, lady, lady, lady ma divine
Lady, lady, lady ma divine...

Balliamo
Balliamo
Performer(s): Lucio Dalla
Balliamo, ed ha tanto tempo che non lo facciamo
Balliamo c'e la musica che piace pure a te
Andiamo, questa sera sono in vena di follie
Noi due stretti, stretti come tanto tempo fa
Che scena, più ti guardo e piu mi sembri una regina
Sei stupenda nei tuo abito da sera
Cosi bella non ti avevo vista mai
Sei grande quando dici che tu ami l'incosciente
Più grande quando a me dici che anche tu mi vuoi così
D'accordo, ho un carattere che un pò particolare
E pure dimmi chi tu puo capire più di me?
Balliamo sempre scritta per noi due questa canzone
è una storia que assomiglia al nostro amore
un'amore messo pazzo come me
Palliamo, no vorrei che fosse lùltima canzone
Tre minuti per convincerti che è amore
La, la la la la la ...

Lady Di And I
Lady Di And I
Composer(s): Joan Baez
Performer(s): Joan Baez
Wake me with kisses in the afternoon
The butler knows any time you arrive is never too soon
He knows just where you are by the sound of your car
He'll be waiting there by the spiral stair
You could drive me crazy with your unkempt hair
You don't know what a comb is and frankly, I don't care
'Cause you're fast and you're wild and you make the butler smile
By bringing me flowers like meteor showers
Which reminds me of something that I've recently seen
It was a look in the eye of Lady Di
As she stood on the balcony knowing the last fantasy of the century was in her long white veil
Maybe she would rather have you than the Prince of Wales
And all the jewels and the crown and all the villages and towns that line the sea of the monarchy
And while I cut the roses, what about Lady Di?
She's a child of the 80's just like you and like I
Think of all of the things that she'll never do
See a rock and roll show, get a heart-shaped tattoo
Wear a t-shirt around in the middle of town
Take a Harley ride as the sun goes down
And think of all the music that I make with you
Let's take a walk on the wild side, baby, I'm in love with you
I will leave my Dior by the cabinet door
And I'll leave my bouquet on the breakfast tray
My parents are out, let's head north of the bay
Maybe go for a sail just like the Prince of Wales
Does he ever love her in the afternoon?
Was the kiss that she gave him in public just a little too soon?
And it's really a shame, she'll take half of the blame
For the boys in the Maze and their numbered days
Yes, there's a tear in the eye of Lady Di
As she looks from the balcony knowing the last fantasy of the century is probably a lie
My heart goes out to you, Princess, lovely Lady Di
For all that it seems, here I stand in my jeans
For whatever it means, it is I who am queen

Performer(s): Lionel Richie; Gary Tesca Orch.
Ballerina Girl
You are so lovely
With you standing there
I'm so aware
Of how much I care for you
You are more than now
You are for always
I can see in you
My dreams come true
Don't you ever go away
You make me feel like
There's nothing I can't do
And when I hold you
I only want to say
I love you
Ballerina Girl
The joy you bring me
Every day and night
Holding you tight
How I've waited for your love
Sometimes I've wondered
If you'd ever come my way
Now that I've finally found you
This is where my heart will stay
I'm never gonna break your heart
Never will we drift apart
'Cause all I wanna do
Is share my whole life with you
'Cause you make me feel like
There's nothing I can't do
I guess I finally realized
There's nothing else like loving you
Ballerina Girl
You are so lovely
I can see in you
My dreams come true
Don't you ever go away
Ballerina Girl...

My lady d'Arbanville
Io so il tuo destino
Vivrai la tua vita
Soltanto in un mattino, soltante in un mattino
My lady d'Arbanville
Io specchio si spezzo
L'inverno è venuto
La primavera no, la primavera no
Un giorno di maggio
Un uomo ti sveglio
Dormi nei tuoi occhi
E poi ti abbandono, e poi ti abbandono
La, la, la...
O lady d'Arbanville
Io mi ricordero
Tornando al castello
Lo specchio si spezzo, io specchio si spezzo
Le tue mani bianche
Qualcuno accarezzo
Ma poi solo il vento
D'amoe ti parlo, d'amore ti parlo
Un giorno di maggio un uomo ti sveglio
Dormi nei tuoi occhi
E poi ti abbandono, e poi ti abbandono
O Lady my Lady
Io specchio si spezzo
La primavera no, la primavera no
La primavera no, la primavera no

Ballerina (Trois & His Mandoliers)
Ballerina
Composer(s): Jimmy Kennedy
Performer(s): Troise & His Mandoliers
It’s only when I see the ballerina dancing
On my guitar I start romancing
I play a tune that says I love you
Each evening while her castanets are gaily beating
On my guitar I keep repeating
A little tune that says I love you
I watch her cool dark eyes
That glow like midnight skies
She doesn’t realise that some night soon
With the stars above her, I’ll tell her how I love her
When I see the ballerina dancing
On my guitar I start romancing
I play a tune that says I love you
When I see the ballerina dancing
On my guitar I start romancing
I play a tune that says I love you

Vous êtes seule ce soir
Vos yeux semblent si las
Que c'est mon désespoir, que c'est mon désespoir

Le maître n'est pas là
Et comme à chaque fois
Il ne rentrera pas, il ne rentrera pas
Oh lady d'Arbanville
Quand il vous emmena
En robe d'épouser
Vos yeux semblait chanter, vos yeux semblait chanter
La, la, la...
My lady d'Arbanville
Vos yeux sont gris ce soir
Votre teint si blanc
Me donne du tourment, me donne du tourment
My lady d 'Arbanville
Quand le soleil est bas
Tu le vois s éloigner
C'est un beau cavalier, c'est un beau cavalier
Oh lady my lady
Le maître n 'est pas là
Oh my lady, my lady
Il ne rentrera pas, il ne rentrera pas

Covered by multiple other artists
Dance, ballerina, dance
And do your pirouette in rhythm with your achin' heart
Dance, ballerina, dance
You mustn't once forget a dancer has to dance the part
Whirl, ballerina, whirl
And just ignore the chair that's empty in the second row
This is your moment, girl
Although he's not out there applauding as you steal the show
Once you said his love must wait its turn
You wanted fame instead
I guess that's your concern
We live and learn
And love is gone, ballerina, gone
So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance
Dance on and on and on
A thousand people here have come to see the show
As 'round and 'round you go
So ballerina, dance
Dance, dance!
Whirl ballerina
Once you said his love must wait its turn
You wanted fame instead
I guess that's your concern
We live and learn
And love is gone, ballerina, gone
So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance
Dance on and on and on
