Lady Madonna
Lady Madonna
((Italian Version: Lady Madonna (by I Gleemen))
Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney
First release by: The Beatles - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet
Who find the money when you pay the rent
Did you think that money was heaven sent
Friday night arrives without a suitcase
Sunday morning creeping like a nun
Monday's child has learned to tie his bootlegs
See how they run
Lady Madonna, baby at your breast
Wonders how you manage to feed the rest
Pa pa pa pa...
See how they run
Lady Madonna lying on the bed
Listen to the music playing in your head
Tuesday afternoon is never ending
Wednesday morning papers didn't come
Thursday night you stocking needed mending
See how they run
Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet

Bambou Bar
Bambou Bar
Composer(s): Luc Plamondon - Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc; Anne Clark
Avec sa peau d'ébène
Et ses cheveux nattés
Petite fleur africaine
Jetée sur le pavé
Qu'est-ce qu'elle fait le soir?
Elle danse au Bambou Bar
Debout sur le comptoir
Elle danse au Bambou Bar
Et moi je viens la voir
Avec son port de reine
Sur ses talons aiguilles
Vaut mieux pas qu'on la prenne
Jamais pour une fille
Qu'est-ce qu'elle fait le soir?
Eile danse au Bambou Bar
C'est tout ce qu'elle sait faire
Elle danse au Bambou Bar
Toute nue dans la lumière
Dans la jungle
Y a des bananiers
Du solei
Pour nous réchauffer
Des tam-tam
Pour nous faire danser
Comme au Bambou Bar
Qu'est-ce qu'elle fait le soir?
Elle danse au Bambou Bar
Sous les regards qui brillent
Elle danse au Bambou Bar
Et puis elle se rhabille
Dans la ville
Il y a des trottoirs
Pas falloir
Y marcher le soir
Surtout pas
Si on rentre tard...
Du Bambou Bar
Quand elle entend derrière elle
Des pas sur le macadam
Elle bondit comme une gazelle
Son cœur bat comme un tam-tam
Elle danse au Bambou Bar
Debout sur le comptoir
Elle danse au Bambou Bar
Et moi je viens la voir
Elle danse au Bambou Bar
C'est tout ce qu'elle sait faire
Elle danse au Bambou Bar
Toute nue dans la lumière
Elle danse au Bambou Bar
Sous les regards qui brillent
Elle danse au Bambou Bar
Et puis elle se rhabille

Performer(s): The Beach Boys
Lady lady lady lady
Won't you come here and lie lady Lynda with me
We can lie in the green canyon meadows
And we'll hear the birds sing in the spring
Don't you know if you'll stay lady Lynda with me
We can talk about love everafter
When you lie lady Lynda with me
Lynda, won't you say that we can be near
You cannot deny there've been hard times
oooh...
Darlin', evolution is drawing us near
Look in my eyes whoa
Lynda, won't you say that I am your man
Don't look surprised, it's all in his plan
oooh...
But darlin', evolution is drawing us near
Lie lady lie
Oooh lady won't you lie lady
Now won't you stay lady Lynda with me
We can talk about love everafter
When you lie lady Lynda with me
Ohh lady won't you lie lady
Won't you ooh lady won't you stay lady with me
When you lie lady Lynda
Come along with me
Ohh lady won't you lie lady
Won't you lie with me
Darlin' you know you make my heart sing
Won't you come along and sing a song
Sing the sound of love
Ohh lady won't you lie lady
Won't you lie with me
Darlin your love is like the coming spring
Won't you come along and sing a song
Sing the song my love
Ohh lady won't you lie lady
Won't you lie with me
Darlin your love is like the coming spring
Won't you come along and sing a song
Sing the song my love
Ohh lady won't you lie lady
Won't you lie with me
Darlin your love is like the coming spring
Won't you come along and sing a song
Sing the song my love
Ooh lady won't you lie lady won't you marry me

Bambou
Bambou
Composer(s): Alain Chamfort - Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Alain Chamfort; Guy Godefroy
Dans tes silences se dessinent
Des Africaines abyssines
Dans tes mutismes, ton délire
Va de l'Angola au Zaïre
Bambou voyage par la pensée
Elle est près de moi mais m'a déjà quitté
Tous les silences de Bambou
Hurlent dans ma tête et me rendent fou
Dans tes yeux absents se dévoilent
Des fièvres aux moiteurs tropicales
Quand tes pupilles se dilatent
L'eau trouble des étangs s'y miroite
La saison des pluies est passée
Bambou ne pleure plus, elle s'est vite consolée
Tous les silences de Bambou
Hurlent dans ma tête et me rendent fou
Tu es désert Bambou
Et jungle Bambou
Forêt de Bambou
Et coups de Bambou
Dans te silences se dessinent
Des Africaines abyssines
Dans tes commotions cérébrales
Je vois l'Afrique équatoriale

Lady Lucille
Lady Lucille
Composer(s): Gildas Arzel
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
J'entends des pas à la porte
J'en tends les cris de la foule
Les battements de cœur emportent
Mes forces et mon sang qui s'écoulent
Pourquoi si tôt?
Ma voix est partie, j'ai oublié
Tous les mots, même le premier
Pourtant c'était si long d'attendre
J'aurai dû mieux les apprendre
J'ai peut-être encore le temps pour un verre
À quoi ça sert, à quoi ça sert
Si trop souvent je t'appelle
Si tu te lasses de moi
Si parfois je suis infidèle
Je n'ai jamais aimé que toi
Est-ce que c'est trop?
Est-ce que tu me fuis?
Est-ce que tu sais?
Tous les jours que je t'ai donné
Entre la peur et la scène
C'est le moment pour que tu viennes
J'ai peut-être encore le temps pour qu'on s'aime
Ah oui! Lucille pour qu'on quitte la terre
Lady Lucille pour aujourd'hui comme hier
Lady Lucille je t'adresse la même prière
Lady Lucille comme un soldat avant la guerre
Lady Lucille fait tomber sur moi la lumière
Rock'n'roll
Lady Lucille, tu sais, je compte sur toi
Lady Lucille fais qu'ils comptent avec moi
1 2 3
1 2
1 2 3 4
Rock'n'roll !
Lady Lucille pour aujourd'hui comme hier
Lady Lucille je t'adresse la même prière
Lady Lucille comme un soldat avant la guerre
Lad'y lucille fait tomber sur moi la lumière

Bamboozled
Bamboozled
Composer(s): Fred Ebb - Paul Klein
Performer(s): Dean Martin
(Bam-bamboozled, bam-bamboozled)
Hey, looka here, see me grin ear to ear
All aglow, I'm so bamboozled (Bamboozled)
Hey, look at me walkin' tall as a tree
Since I got a lot bamboozled (Bamboozled)
I kept shyin' away, she kept sighin' away
Now, suffice it to say
That I fought and I fought, but I'm finally caught
I fly like the birds, feel too lovely for words
Yesiree, that's me, bamboozled
Out of my wits, but the thrill of it fits like a glove
(Bamboozled, bamboozled by you)
Heaven, open the door, I ain't runnin' no more
I got bamboozled
But, oh, how I love it in love
(La la la la la la la la la la la bamboozled, bamboozled)
(La la la la la la la la la la la bamboozled, bamboozled)
I tried takin' a stand, she kept takin' my hand
That felt wonderful grand
So I fell like a ton, I'm a son-of-a-gun
Will you look at me now, not a crease on my brow
When we kiss, I'm this bamboozled
Sailin' along, feelin' bright as the song of a dove
(Bamboozled, bamboozled by you)
She kept playin' it smart, kissed me out of my heart
I got bamboozled (Bamboozled, bamboozled)
But, oh, how I love it in love

Lady Love
Lady Love
Composer(s): Vonghn Gray - Sherman Marshall
Performer(s): Lou Rawls
Lady love, your love is peaceful
Like the summer's breeze
My lady love, with love that's tender
As a baby's touch
You give me all of the things
That I need so much
You're my world, lady love
Lady love, your love is cooling
Like the winter snow
My lady love, with love that's cozy
As a fire's glow
And I keep on needing you, girl
A little more and more
And I thank you, my lady love
You know, it's not easy to keep love flowing smooth
People are people and they all have their moods
But it's so nice just to have someone like you
Who wants a smooth and easy thing
And all the good times that it brings
My lady love, you've been with me
Through all of my ups and downs
My lady love, I once was lost
But now with you I'm found
You got the love I need
And I want to stay around
Heaven sent you down, my lady love
Let me tell you that it's not easy to keep love flowing smooth
You know, people are people, they all have their moods
But it's so nice just to have someone like you
Who wants a smooth and easy thing
And all the good times and the joy that it brings
My lady love, you've been with me
Through all of my ups and downs
And my crazy turn-arounds
My lady love, you got the love I need
So stay around
Heaven sent my lady love
Lady love, sweet lady love
You are so good to me
Lady love, like a warm summer breeze
(So glad I found my lady love, lady love)
(so glad I found my lady love, lady love)

Bambino, Bambino ne pleure pas, Bambino
Les yeux battus la mine triste
et les joues blêmes
Tu ne dors plus
Tu n'es plus que l'ombre de toi-même
Seul dans la rue tu rôdes
Comme une âme en peine
Et tous les soirs sous sa fenêtre
on peut te voir
Je sais bien que tu l'adores
Et qu'elle a de jolies yeux
Mais tu es trop jeune encore
Pour jouer les amoureux
Et gratte, gratte sur ta mandoline
mon petit Bambino
Ta musique est plus jolie
que tout le ciel de l'Italie
Et canta, canta de ta voix câline
mon petit Bambino
Tu peux chanter tant que tu veux
Elle ne te prend pas au sérieux
Avec tes cheveux si blonds
Tu as l'air d'un chérubin
Va plutôt jouer au ballon
Comme font tous les gamins
Tu peux fumer comme un Monsieur des cigarettes
Te déhancher sur le trottoir quand tu la guettes
Tu peux pencher sur ton oreille, ta casquette
Ce n'est pas ça, qui dans son cœur, te vieillira
L'amour et la jalousie ne sont pas des jeux d'enfant
Et tu as toute la vie pour souffrir comme les grands
Et gratte, gratte sur ta mandoline
Mon petit Bambino
Ta musique est plus jolie
que tout le ciel de l'Italie
Et canta, canta de ta voix câline
mon petit Bambino
Tu peux chanter tant que tu veux
Elle ne te prend pas au sérieux
Si tu as trop de tourments ne les garde pas pour toi
Va le dire à ta maman les mamans c'est fait pour ça
Et là, blotti dans l'ombre douce de ses bras
Pleure un bon coup et ton chagrin s'envolera

Oh the lady in red is as fresh as a daisy when the town is in bed
Dancing and dining and shining with originality
She's very proper
She's nothing more than a pal
Oh me and oh my
You'll never stop her
She'll be a dangerous gal
If she ever met the right guy
Oh the lady in red
The fellas are crazy for the lady in red
She's a bit gaudy but lord what a pretty personality
Say have you ever met the girl who's the toast of the town
A work of art without a question
You better write her number down, you fools

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance
I have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your head that catch your eyes I have been blind
The lady in red is dancing with me cheek to cheek
There's nobody here, it's just you and me, It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never for get, the way you look tonight
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled, It took my breath away
I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight
The way you look tonight
I never will forget, the way you look tonight
The lady in red
The lady in red
The lady in red
My lady in red (I love you)

Lady In Black
Lady In Black
Composer(s): Ken Hensley
First release by: Uriah Heep - 1971
She came to me one morning
One lonely Sunday morning
Her long hair flowing
In the midwinter wind
I know not how she found me
For in darkness I was walking
And destruction lay around me
From a fight I could not win
Ah ah ah ...
She asked me name my foe then
I said the need within some men
To fight and kill their brothers
Without thought of love or God
And I begged her give me horses
To trample down my enemies
So eager was my passion
To devour this waste of life
Ah ah ah ...
But she wouldn't think of battle that
Reduces men to animals
So easy to begin
And yet impossible to end
For she's the mother of our men
Who counselled me so wisely then
I feared to walk alone again
And asked if she would stay
Ah ah ah ...
Oh lady lend your hand outright
And let me rest here at your side
Have faith and trust
In peace she said
And filled my heart with life
There is no strength in numbers
Have no such misconception
But when you need me
Be assured I won't be far away
Ah ah ah ...
Thus having spoke she turned away
And though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until I saw
Her black coat disappear
My labour is no easier
But now I know I'm not alone
I find new heart each time
I think upon that windy day
And if one day she comes to you
Drink deeply from her words so wise
Take courage from her
As your prize
And say hello from me
Ah ah ah ...

Baltimore
Baltimore
Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant
Performer(s): Sonny James
My shirt is ragged and my pants are tore
I ain’t found nothin’ I’m a-looking for
And I wanna go back to Baltimore
I miss my dinghy on the Chesapeake shore
The shrimp and the shad fish I adore
And I wanna go back to Baltimore
Well, I left home about ten months ago
‘Cause I was tired of my status quo
I said I’m sick of this dead-haired town
I’m gonna cut out and have a look around
That was my first mistake
For a while I was living real hole in the hog
Having more fun than a pedigree dog
For long though, my loot ran low
And I said, “oh well, I’ll be a hobo”
That was my second mistake
My shirt is ragged and my pants are tore
I ain’t found nothing I’m looking for
And I want to go back to Baltimore
Well I starved in Chicago and Kalamazoo
Went down to Atlanta an’ I starved there too
I met a lot of girls but you can’t make time
When you’re knockin’on a back door
And begging for a dime
I know – I tried it
I looked for my fortune as hard as I could
But you can’t find a fortune chopping up wood
So I’ll admit, though I’ll lose a lot of face
That my own back yard was a heck of a place
Baltimore – good old Baltimore
My shirt is ragged and my pants are tore
I ain’t found nothin’ I’m a-looking for
And I wanna go back to Baltimore
I miss my dinghy on the Chesapeake shore
The shrimp and the shad fish I adore
And I wanna go back to Baltimore
Fetch me a train
Flag me down a Simmer
Man, I don’t care
I gotta get back

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
(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
