Teen Idol:
The way you move
It's got quality
Come on baby, let's go downtown
Little girl, you sure look good to me
The way you move
It's got quality
Come on baby now don't be shy
Step in the light so I can see
The way you move
It's got quality

Girls:
I want to know
Are you my beautiful young boy
Or just another love
Passing through my life
I need to know
Will you be my sorrow and my joy
And maybe one day soon
Will I be your wife.

Teen Idol:
Come on baby
Let's rock some more
I want to spend my salary
The way you move
It's got quality

Sal:
Everytime they see me walk down the street
They say Coño that boy is fine
The way he moves
Got quality

Girls:
I want to know
Are you my beautiful young boy,
Or just another love
Passing through my life,

I need to know
Will you be my sorrow and my joy
And maybe one day soon
Will I be your wife
Quiero saber
Quiero saber
Nadie nunca sabe
En la vida

Teen Idol:
The way you move
It's got quality
The way you move
It's got quality

Seguirá Vivo En Mí


Seguirá Vivo En Mí
Composer(s): José Miguel Galllardo; J. Israel
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Cuando el tiempo pase cruel
y se arrugue nuestra piel, con su huella
y se vayan de este hogar
nuestros hijos para andar, tras su estrella
Cuando no haya porvenir
y el deseo de vivir sea fatiga
cuando no nos quede ya
nada nuevo que esperar de la vida
Seguirá vivo en mi
cada instante de hoy
seguirá vivo en mi, mi amor
por la fuerza de hoy
Seguirá vivo en mi
cada instante de hoy
seguirá vivo en mi, mi amor
por la fuerza de hoy
Cuando casi sin querer
se blanquee nuestra cien, como nieve
y tengamos que matar
esos pocos años más, que nos queden
Cuando nuestro atardecer
un recuerdo del ayer, aún nos lleve
a un jardín de inmensidad
donde hace tiempo ya, que no llueve
Seguirá vivo en mi
cada instante de hoy
seguirá vivo en mi, mi amor
por la fuerza de hoy
Seguirá vivo en mi
cada instante de hoy
seguirá vivo en mi, mi amor
por la fuerza de hoy
Seguirá vivo en mi
Cuando se acerque el final
y tengamos que cruzar, el sendero
y recuerde con amor
los momentos que a los dos, se nos fueron
Cuando sólo quede ya
el instante de verdad, más sincero
sentirás como mi voz
te repite con mi adiós, que te quiero
Y seguirá vivo en ti
cada beso en tu piel
y seguirá vivo en ti, mi amor
aunque yo ya no este
seguirá vivo en ti
cada beso en tu piel
seguirá vivo en ti, mi amor
aunque yo ya no este

Quality Shoe


Quality Shoe
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Mark Knopfler



You got your toecaps reinforced with steel
Hard-wearing sole and heel
Make those tired feet feel like new
Take your pick, black or brown
Great for the country or the man in town
You're gonna need a quality shoe

You don't want no stand-by pair
'Cos these'll take the wear and tear
Made to take good care of you
For that trip by road or rail
For extra grip on those rocky trails
You're gonna need a quality shoe

Now they maybe ain't too hot for dancing
But I don't foresee too much of that
You ain't exactly gonna be prancing
Around in the moonlight
With a cane and a top hat

If you could use a change of pace
And be excused from the rat race
Just take a look at what's on view
Lace 'em up, walk around
I guarantee you can't wear 'em down
You're gonna need a quality shoe

Now I wish you sunny skies
And happiness wherever you may go
But you got to realise
There'll be wind, there'll be rain
And occasional snow

You're gonna want to smile in them
If you're gonna walk a mile in them
There'll be times when you'll be blue
To laugh at rainy days and then
Make your getaways in them
You're gonna need a quality shoe

You got your toecaps reinforced with steel
Hard-wearing sole and heel
Make those tired feet feel like new
Take your pick, black or brown
Great for the country or the man in town
You're gonna need a quality shoe

See-Saw


See-Saw
Composer(s): Richard Wright
Performer(s): Pink Floyd



Marigolds are very much in love, but he doesn't mind
Picking up his sister, he makes his way into the seas or land
All the way she smiles
She goes up while he goes down, down
Sits on a stick in the river
Laughter in his sleep
Sister's throwing stones, hoping for a hit
He doesn't know so then
She goes up while he goes down, down
Another time, another day
A brother's way to leave
Another time, another day

She'll be selling plastic flowers on a sunday afternoon

Picking up weeds, she hasn't got the time to care
All can see he's not there
She grows up for another man, and he's down
Another time, another day
A brother's way to leave
Another time, another day
Another time, another day
A brother's way to leave

Qualquer Amor


Qualquer Amor
Composer(s): Chico Buarque; Francis Hime
Performer(s): Chico Buarque; Francis Hime



Qualquer amor
Me satisfaz
Qualquer calor
Qualquer rapaz
Qualquer favor
É só chamar
Pousar a mão
Qualquer lugar
Qualquer verão
É só chamar
É tudo, é do primeiro
Qualquer hora, qualquer cheiro
Qualquer boca, qualquer peito
Qualquer jeito de prazer
Qualquer prazer é pouco
Qualquer éter, qualquer louco
Que o meu corpo de criança
Não se cansa de querer

Qualquer amor
Eu corro atrás
Qualquer calor
Eu quero mais
Qualquer amor
Qual nada

Seems Like Old Times


Seems Like Old Times
Composer(s): Carmen Lombardo; John Jacob Loeb
First release by: Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians - 1945
and multiple other artists



Remember all the things we did together
All the fun we had on New Year's Eve
How we danced till dawn
Then darling you were gone
Now it's almost too good to believe

Seems like old times, having you to walk with
It seems like old times, having you to talk with
And it's still a thrill just to have my arms around you
It’s still the thrill that it was the day I found you
It’s just like old times, dinner dates and flowers
It’s just like old times, staying up for hours
Making dreams come true, doing things we used to do
It seems like old times, being here with you

Seems like old times, dinner dates and flowers
Seems like old times, staying up for hours
Making dreams come true, and doing things we used to do
It seems like old times, being here with you

Qualquer Canção


Qualquer Canção
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Qualquer canção de amor
É uma canção de amor
Não faz brotar amor
E amantes
Porém, se essa canção
Nos toca o coração
O amor brota melhor
E antes

Qualquer canção de dor
Não basta a um sofredor
Nem cerze um coração
Rasgado
Porém, inda é melhor
Sofrer em dó menor
Do que você sofrer
Calado

Qualquer canção de bem
Algum mistério tem
É o grão, é o germe, é o gen
Da chama
E essa canção também
Corrói como convém
O coração de quem
Não ama

Qualquer Coisa


Qualquer Coisa
Composer(s): Caetano Veloso
Performer(s): Caetano Veloso



Esse papo já tá qualquer coisa
Você já tá prá lá de Marraquesh

Mexe qualquer coisa dentro doida
Já qualquer coisa doida dentro mexe

Não se avexe não, baião de dois, deixe de manha, deixe de manha
Pois sem essa aranha, sem essa aranha, sem essa aranha
Nem a sanha arranha o carro, nem o sarro arranha a Espanha
Nessa tamanha, nessa tamanha, esse papo seu já tá de manhã

Berro pelo aterro, pelo desterro
Berro por seu berro, pelo seu erro
Quero que você ganhe, que você me apanhe
Sou o seu bezerro gritando mamãe

Esse papo seu tá qualquer coisa
E você tá prá lá de Teerã
Qualquer coisa...

See You When I Git There


See You When I Git There
Composer(s): Kenny Gamble; Leon Huff
Performer(s): Lou Rawls



Pardon me, do you have change for a quarter?
I gotta make a phone call
Thank you
Oh, I hope this woman don't take me through no changes today
'Cause I've had a hard day today, man, you know
Let me see what's happenin' at the address 'fore I go home

How you doin', I hope you're fine
Did your day take you through changes and mess up your mind
I just called to say that I'm on my way
Whoa, and I'll see you when I get there

I hope you're in a good mood
You know a man's home is his castle, and I'm comin' home to groove
Whoa, and I'll see you when I get there
I'll see you when I get there

And you'll be ready for good lovin'
You'll be ready for good lovin'
'Cause I've worked hard all day
Now I'm comin' home to be with the one I love

Candlelight, cold wine, soft music on the radio
And you got everything you need from the store
'Cause I'll be in for the evening and I don't wanna come out no more
Whoa, and I'll see you when I get there
I'll see you when I get there

And you'll be ready for good lovin'
You'll be ready for good lovin'
'Cause I've worked hard all day
Now I'm comin' home to lay and relax my mind

Whoa, I'll see you when I get there
I'll see you when I, see you when I get there, baby
(I'll see you when I get there) I'll see you when I get there
(I'll see you when I get there) I'll see you when I get there, baby
(I'll see you when I get there) See you when I get there
(I'll see you when I get there) See you when I get there, baby

Whoa, I'll see you when I get there
I'll see you when I get there

And you'll be ready for good lovin'
You'll be ready for good lovin'
'Cause I've worked hard all day
Now I'm comin' home to lay and relax my mind

Whoa, I'll see you when I get there
I said I'll see you when I get there, baby
I said I'll see you when I get there
I said I'll see you when I get there, baby

I said I might have to run all the way
Because the bus might be slow today
I've been thinkin' about you all day long
And I just can't wait to get home

I'll see you when I get there
I'll see you when I get there, baby
(You'll be ready) I've been workin' hard all day, you've been on my mind
(You'll be ready) I can't go on without you, darling, by my side
(I'll see you when I get there) I'll see you when I get there
(I'll see you when I get there)
(I'll see you when I get there) I'll see you when I get there, baby

Quand Elle Chante


Quand Elle Chante
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Gaby Wagenheim
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Quand elle chante, quand elle chante
Les anges se taisent pour écouter sa voix
Quand elle danse, quand elle danse
Les amoureux voudraient la tenir dans leurs bras
Quand elle rit, un vent léger vient emporter
L'éclat de rire qu'elle daigné laisser tomber
Et quand je l'aime, oui quand je l'aime croyez-moi
Le monde entier voudrait l'aimer pour moi

Ah oui! c'est vraiment la plus belle
Celle dont je suis amoureux
Elle n'a pas de soeur jumelle
Et c'est tant pis pour vous messieurs
En elle tout n'est qu'harmonie
On ne peut rien lui reprocher
Elle est le souffle de ma vie
Pourquoi? Vous pouvez en juger

Quand elle chante, quand elle chante
Les anges se taisent pour écouter sa voix
Quand elle danse, quand elle danse
Les amoureux voudraient la tenir dans leurs bras
Quand elle rit, un vent léger vient emporter
L'éclat de rire qu'elle daigné laisser tomber
Et quand je l'aime, oui quand je l'aime croyez-moi
Le monde entier voudrait l'aimer pour moi

Elle marche comme en un rêve
Auréolée d'un arc-en-ciel
Et semble perdue sur la terre
Tant elle paraît irréelle
Je l'aime tant je peux le dire
Que prés d'elle je ne vis plus
J'ai même peur quand elle respire
Qu'elle ne s'envole dans la rue

Quand elle chante, quand elle chante
Les anges se taisent pour écouter sa voix
Quand elle danse, quand elle danse
Les amoureux voudraient la tenir dans leurs bras
Quand elle rit, un vent léger vient emporter
L'éclat de rire qu'elle daigné laisser tomber
Et quand je l'aime, oui quand je l'aime croyez-moi
Le monde entier voudrait l'aimer pour moi

See You Later, Alligator


See You Later, Alligator
(Danish Version: Se Min Læge Er Diktator - 1975)
Composer(s): Robert Charles Guidry
First release by: Bobby Charles - 1955
Covered by multiple other artists



Well, I saw my baby walkin' with another guy today
Well, I saw my baby walkin' with another guy today
When I asked her what's the matter,
this is what I heard her say

See you later alligator, after 'while crocodile
See you later alligator, after 'while crocodile
Can't you see you're in my way now
don't you know you cramp my style

When I thought of what she told me, nearly made me lose my head
When I thought of what she told me, nearly made me lose my head
But the next time that I saw her
reminded her of what she said

See you later alligator, after 'while crocodile
See you later alligator, after 'while crocodile
Can't you see you're in my way now
don't you know you cramp my style

She said I'm sorry pretty baby, you know my love is just for you
She said I'm sorry pretty baby, you know my love is just for you
Won't you say that you'll forgive me
and say your love for me is true

See you later alligator, after 'while crocodile
See you later alligator, after 'while crocodile
Can't you see you're in my way now
don't you know you cramp my style

I said wait a minute 'gator, I know you meant it just for play
I said wait a minute 'gator, I know you meant it just for play
Don't you know you really hurt me
and this is what I have to say

Quand Et Puis Pourquoi


Quand Et Puis Pourquoi
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Quand avons été nous-mêmes
La dernière fois?
Quand nous sommes-nous dit je t’aime
La dernière fois?
Quand avons nous été sincères
Sans problème, sans mystère?
Quand avons-nous eu l’insouciance
De l’enfance
La dernière fois?

Quand avons-nous gâché la chance
Qui s’offrait à nous
Et brisé l’amoureuse alliance
Qui vivait en nous?
Alors que déjà l’oubli se pose
Et s’étend sur toutes choses
Sitôt que tu en aurais saisi la cause
Dis-moi quand et puis pourquoi

Quand avons-nous fait fausse route
La première fois?
Quand avons-nous connu le doute
La première fois?
Quand avons-nous cherché chez d’autres
D’autres ivresses que les nôtres
Quand avons-nous oublié d’être
Un seul être
La première fois?

Quand avons-nous cessé de rire
Pour un oui, un non
Et trouvé bête de se dire
Que nous nous aimions?
Afin que nulle ombre ne demeure
En mes rêves qui se meurent
Ne citant que le jour et l’heure
Dis-moi quand et puis pourquoi

First release by: The Tempos - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists



I'll be alone each and every night
While you're away, don't forget to write
Bye-bye, so long, farewell
Bye-bye, so long

See you in September
See you when the summer's through
Here we are (bye, baby, goodbye)
Saying goodbye at the station (bye, baby, goodbye)
Summer vacation (bye, baby bye, baby)
Is taking you away (bye, baby, goodbye)

Have a good time, but remember
There is danger in the summer moon above
Will I see you in September
Or lose you

To a summer love (counting the days 'til I'll be with you)
(Counting the hours and the minutes, too)
Bye, baby, goodbye
Bye, baby, goodbye
Bye, baby, goodbye
(bye-bye, so long, farewell)
Bye, baby, goodbye
(bye-bye, so long, farewell)

Have a good time but remember
There is danger in the summer moon above
Will I see you in September
Or lose you

To a summer love (I'll be alone each and every night)
(While you're away, don't forget to write)

(repeat):
See you
(bye-bye, so long, farewell)
In September
(bye-bye, so long, farewell)

Quand Femme Rêve


Quand Femme Rêve
Composer(s): Jean-Luis Bergheaud; Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc



Quand femme rêve...
Un cerf-volant
Fort sur la neige
Docile au vent
Un attelage
Un traîneau
Passe au plus près
De ma peau

Toujours l'entraîne
Le goéland
Le cœur en peine
Vers Ouessant
L'entraîne
Le goéland
Là-bas
Vers Ouessant

Prince de Clèves
Rue Corvisard
Prisonnier d'elle
Sous un hangar

Où elle extrait
La moelle de mes os
Comme fait busard
Au louveteau

Pour du bonheur
À partager
Elle prend mes "je t'aime"
Mes baisers
Comme grand lézard là-haut
Elle boit mon sang
Comme l'eau

Quand femme rêve...
Un cerf-volant
Fort sur la neige
Docile au vent
Un attelage
Un traîneau
Passe au plus près
De ma peau

Don't Ever Leave Me (Helen Morgan)


Don't Ever Leave Me
Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Helen Morgan
and multiple other artists



I was created for one man alone
It wasn't easy to find
Now that I found him, I wonder just how
I could have lived right up to now

Now that I am something completed by you
I am no one, just part of two

Don't ever leave me, now that you're here
Here is where you belong
Ev'rything seems so right when you're near
When you're away it's all wrong

I'm so dependent, when I need comfort
I always run to you
Don't ever leave me, 'cause if you do
I'll have no one to run to

Don't ever leave me alone

Dans ce grand champ
Dans ce grand champ
Dans ce grand champ, des bleuets

See What The Boys In The Backroom Will Have


See What The Boys In The Backroom Will Have
Composer(s): Frederick Hollander; Frank Loesser
Performer(s): Marlene Dietrich
and multiple other artists



See what the boys in the backroom will have
And tell them I'm having the same
Go see what the boys in the backroom will have
And give them the poison they name

And when I die don't spend my money
On flowers and my picture in a frame

Chorus:
Just see what the boys in the backroom will have
And tell them I sighed and tell them I cried
And tell them I died of the same

And when I die don't buy a casket of silver
With the candles all aflame

Just see what the boys in the backroom will have
And tell them I sighed and tell them I cried
And tell them I died of the same

And when I die don't pay the preacher
For speaking of my glory and my fame

Just see what the boys in the backroom will have
And tell them I sighed and tell them I cried
And tell them I died of the same

Quand Il S'Agit De Toi


Quand Il S'Agit De Toi
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Je ne me suis jamais acharné
À visiter tous les musées
Monuments et lieux historiques
Einstein et sa relativité
N'a rien gravé dans mes pensées
Je ne retiens rien, c'est tragique
Mais
J'ai retenu du premier coup
Ton prénom et ta date de naissance
J'ai de la mémoire quand il s'agit de toi
Je n'ai pas eu besoin que tu me donnes
Deux fois ton numéro de téléphone
J'ai de la mémoire quand il s'agit de toi

Je sens encore le parfum de tes lèvres
Qui m'a donné une poussée de fièvre
J'ai de la mémoire quand il s'agit de toi
Tu m'as mordu par passion ou par vice
J'en ai depuis gardé la cicatrice
J'ai de la mémoire quand il s'agit de toi

Ce premier jour où l'on s'est rencontré
Je m'en souviens très bien
Tu ne savais pas sur quel pied danser
Alors t'as dansé sur les miens
Et ce soir là j'ai trempé dans l'eau froide
Mes pauvres pieds qu'étaient en marmelade
J'ai de la mémoire quand il s'agit de toi
Le lendemain c'est le pied je le jure
Qu'on m'a plâtré avec double fracture
J'ai de la mémoire quand il s'agit de toi

Je ne sais si c'est Victor Hugo
Qu'a fait le Cid ou Othello
J'étais pas né à cette époque
Et je sais si c'est Galilée
Qu'a dit: "Eurêka, j'ai trouvé
Le secret de l'oeuf à la coque"
Je n'oublie jamais ton anniversaire
T'as eu un chèque en blanc l'année dernière
J'ai de la mémoire quand il s'agit de toi
Tu t'es acheté un diamant splendide
Et depuis lors mon compte en banque est vide
J'ai de la mémoire quand il s'agit de toi

T'as des secrets culinaires incroyables
Qui font qu'après avoir quitté la table
J'ai de la mémoire quand il s'agit de toi
Je te souris sauvant les apparences
Cachant ainsi mes affreuses souffrances
J'ai de la mémoire quand il s'agit de toi
Je connais le nom de tous mes amis
Avec les quels tu m'as trompé
J'en connais l'heure, le jour ou la nuit
Et l'endroit où ça s'est passé

Je t'ai surprise un soir ce fut tragique
On m'a placé en maison psychiatrique
J'ai de la mémoire quand il s'agit de toi
On a tout fait pour qu'enfin je te chasse
De mes pensées mais quoi qu'on dise ou fasse
J'ai de la mémoire quand il s'agit de toi
Je sais que tu es un rêve impossible
Et que nos humeur sont incompatibles
Mais
Tu es mon livre de lois et ma bible
Crois-moi
Et j'ai de la mémoire quand il s'agit de toi

Do It The Hard Way


Do It The Hard Way Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Lorenz Hart Performer(s): Jack Durant & June Havoc and multiple other artists



Fred Astaire once worked so hard he often lost his breath
And now he taps all other chaps to death
Working hard did not retard the young Cab Calloway
Now hear him blow his vo-de-o-do today

Do it the hard way and it's easy sailing
Do it the hard way and it's hard to lose
Only the soft way has a chance of failing
You have to choose

I took the hard way when I tried to get you
You took the soft way when you said, "We'll see"
Darling, now I'll let you do it the hard way
Now that you want me

Do it the hard way and it's easy sailing
Do it the hard way and it's hard to lose
Only the soft way has a chance of failing
You have to choose
