Lazy River
Lazy River
Composer(s): Sidney Arodin - Hoagy Carmichael
First release by: Hoagy Carmichael - 1930
Covered by multiple other artists
I like lazy weather, I like lazy days
Can't be blamed for having lazy ways
Some old lazy river sleeps beside my door
Whisp'ring to the sunlit shore
Up a lazy river by the old mill run
Lazy river in the noon day sun
Linger awhile in the shade of a tree
Throw away your troubles
Dream with me
Up a lazy river where the robin’s song
Wakes the mornin’
We’ll roll along
May be blue skies ’bove
Everyone’s in love
Up a lazy river
How happy we’ll be
Up a lazy river with me
Up a lazy river by the old mill run
That lazy lazy river in the noon day sun
You can linger for awhile in the shade of a tree
Throw away your troubles baby
Dream a dream of me
Up a lazy river where the robin’s song
Wakes a brand new mornin’
Where we can roll along
There may be blue skies up above
But as long as we’re in love
Yeah we’ll be up a lazy river
How happy we could be
Up a lazy river with me
Oh that half way mark yeah
Up a lazy river where that robin’s song
Awakes a brand new mornin’
We can roll along
There are blue skies up above
And as long as we’re in love
We’ll be up a lazy river
Up a crazy lazy river
Up a lazy river
I ain’t goin’ your way get out of my way
Up a lazy river with me

Beneden Alle Peil
Beneden Alle Peil
English & French Titles:
Not Up To Scratch; J'aime Pas Ça Chez Toi
Originally performed by: Boudewijn de Groot
Covered by various other artists
Jouw armen liefste zijn niet om te slaan
Je moet je handen niet tot vuisten maken
Je ogen hoeven niet zo hard te staan
Ontspan die harde lijnen om je kaken
Je lichaam lief is zacht om aan te raken
Maar jij denkt enkel aan je eigen heil
Jij denkt alleen maar aan je eigen zaken
En dat is toch beneden alle peil
Bekijk jezelf en lach, je zachte arm
Is voor mijn hoofd gemaakt om op te rusten
Je borst als veilig kussen houdt me warm
Maar warmer zijn je lippen die me kusten
Zo wekte je één voor één mijn andere lusten
Maar jij dacht aan een ander onderwijl
Waarmee je zonder moeite je geweten suste
En dat is toch beneden alle peil
Mijn liefde was de inzet voor jouw spel
Door mij liet jij je ijdelheid graag strelen
Je wilde niet, dan wilde je weer wel
Ik was verblind, ik liet maar met me spelen
Je liet je zo maar door een ander stelen
En mijn geluk ging zo maar voor de bijl
Maar mijn verdriet kon jou niet zoveel schelen
En dat was toch beneden alle peil
Prinsheerlijk lig je in een anders bed
En maakt hem met je lichaam dwaas en dronken
Wat in geen enkel opzicht jou belet
Achter zijn rug om weer naar mij te lonken
Bedriegen ligt nu eenmaal in jouw stijl
Je hebt je in 't geheim aan mij geschonken
Maar het is toch wel beneden alle peil

Lazy Mary you better get up
She answered back I am not able
Lazy Mary you better get up
We need the sheets for the table
Lazy Mary you smoke in bed
There's only one man you should marry
My advice to you would be
Is to pay attention to me
You’d better marry a fireman
He'll come and go, go and come
Sempe la pompa mane tene
Se ce 'ncappa la fantasia
Te pomperia figghiuzza mia
Là lariulà pesce fritt'e baccalà
Uei cumpà 'na pompina c'eggi'accattà
0 cummà ca me voglio marità
Trovame 'na uagliotta
Ca me voglio marità
Trovame 'na uagliotta
Ca me voglio marità
Trovame 'na uagliotta
Ca me voglio marità
Hey!

Beneath, Between & Behind
Beneath, Between & Behind
Composer(s): Alex Lifeson; Neil Peart
Performer(s): Rush; String Quartet
Ten score years ago, defeat the kingly foe
A wondrous dream came into being
Tame the trackless waste, no virgin land left chaste
All shining eyes, but never seeing
[Chorus:]
Beneath the noble bird
Between the proudest words
Behind the beauty, cracks appear
Once with heads held high
They sang out to the sky
Why do their shadows bow in fear?
Watch the cities rise
Another ship arrives
Earth's melting pot and ever growing
Fantastic dreams come true
Inventing something new
The greatest minds, and never knowing
[Chorus]
The guns replace the plow, facades are tarnished now
The principles have been betrayed
The dreams's gone stale, but still, let hope prevail
History's debt won't be repaid
[Chorus]

Beneath The Lights Of Home
Beneath The Lights Of Home (aka In A Little Old Sleepy Town)
Composer(s): Bernie Grossman; Walter Jurmann
Performer(s): Deanne Durbin
I can see the lights of home
Shining brightly o'er the foam
Beckon to me while I roam
Away from the lights of home
In that little old sleepy town
Nothing happens after the sun goes down
Nothing but moonbeams roam around
Beneath the lights of home
Turn the hands of time for me
Let me live in my memory
Once again I long to be
Beneath the lights of home

Beneath A Desert Moon
Beneath A Desert Moon
Composer(s): Sting
Performer(s): Sting
From the mountains on the moon to the mighty delta
From the deserts of the West to the shining sea
Beneath the canopy of stars flows the serpent river
Flowing through my father's land that he left to me
From the baker, to the priest, to the candle maker
From the highest to the low in my father's land
We make our offer to the sun 'fore the break of morning
Or else everything we have will just turn to sand
I have a lot to ask
I have a lot that I need to say
I have so much do
And all I need is another day
From the soldier, to the scribe, to the carpet maker
All the different colored threads in a carpet loom
A woven tapestry of life is our mighty nation
This is the writing on the wall of my father's tomb
We have a lot to ask
We have a lot that we need to say
We have so much do
And all we need is another day
Beneath the desert moon, I call you
beneath the desert moon, I sing
beneath the desert moon, so lonely
I'm just a boy who would be king
With just the moon to guide us
We sometimes lose our way
If there's a light inside us
We'll follow it to the brightness of the day
Every single blade of grass, every yellow flower
Every ripple on the sea of the blue, blue Nile
Every leaf on every tree, every single creature
From the smallest little bird, to the crocodile
We have a lot to ask
We have a lot that we need to say
We have so much do
And all we need is another day
Beneath the desert moon, I call you
beneath the desert moon, we sing
beneath the desert moon, we're waiting
Before the coming of the king
Beneath the desert moon that's sinking
We see the Eastern sky's on fire
This is where darkness leaves
And shining waters fall
And let the shadows run
And we'll say, "welcome to the sun"

Lazy Day
Composer(s): George Fischoff - Tony Powers
Performer(s): Spanky & Our Gang
Blue Skies, sunshine, what a day to take a walk in the park
Ice Cream, daydream til the sky becomes a blanket of stars
What a day for picking daisies and lots of red balloons
And what a day for holdin' hands and being with you
Lazy Day, just right for lovin' away
Lazy Day, made for a stroll in the lane
Baby, you and me (baby, you and me)
And the honeybee (neath the shady tree)
Lazy Day, Lazy Day, Lazy Day for you and me
Blue skies, sunshine, flowers bloomin', children sayin' "Hello"
Rowboats, bird notes, People smilin' everywhere that we go
What a day to be together, and what a sky of blue
And what a day for thinkin' right out loud "I love you"

Performer(s): Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich
Bend it, bend it, just a little bit
And take it easy, show you're likin' it
And lover, you know that we're gonna hit
The heights 'cos I'm sure that we're made to fit
Together just like pieces of a
Jigsaw puzzle, what's the hustle
Bend it, bend it, just a little more
Without you, baby, I'm so insecure
But you can make me feel that I am sure
I've got a sickness only you can cure
So just relax, there's stacks of time, but honey
Please don't tease me - try to please me
Oh-yeah, that's good, oh-yes, ah-yes
Bend it, bend it, just a little bit
And take it easy, show you're likin' it
And lover, you know that we're gonna hit
The heights 'cos I'm sure that we're made to fit
Together just like pieces of a
Jigsaw puzzle, what's the hustle
Bend it, bend it, just a little bit
And take it easy, show you're likin' it
And ahhh... show me now, yeah that's right
Ah, oh yeah, yeah that's right
C'mon now, right right right ...

Ben
Composer(s): Donald Black; Walter Scharf
Originally performed by: Michael Jackson
Covered by various other artists
Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you, my friend will see
You've got a friend in me
(You've got a friend in me)
Ben, you're always running here and there
(Here and there)
You feel you're not wanted anywhere (anywhere)
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's something you should know
You've got a place to go
(You've got a place to go)
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
(I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we")
Ben, most people would turn you away
(Turn you away)
I don't listen to a word they say
(A word they say)
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(A friend)
Like Ben
(Like Ben)
Like Ben

Lazy
Lazy
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Al Jolson
and multiple other artists
Every time I see a puppy
On a summers day
A puppy dog at play
My heart is filled with envy
That's why I'm in such a hurry
To pass the time away
Like the pup, I'm all fed up, and
Though it's wrong to be, I long to be
Lazy
I wanna be lazy
I'm longing to lay in the sun
With no work to be done
Under that awning
They call the sky
Stretching and yawning
And let the world go drifting by
I wanna peep
Through the deep
Tangled wildwood
Counting sheep
'Til I sleep
Like a child would
With a great big valise full
Of books to read where it's peaceful
While I'm killing time, being lazy
Lazy
I wanna be lazy
I'm longing to lay in the sun
With no work to be done
Under that awning
They call the sky
Stretching and yawning
And let the world go drifting by
I wanna peep
Through the deep
Tangled wildwood
Counting sheep
'Til I sleep
Like a child would
With a great big valise full
Of books to read where it's peaceful
While I'm killing time, being lazy
While I'm killing time, being lazy

Bem Querer
Bem Querer
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
Quando o meu bem-querer me vir
Estou certa que há de vir atrás
Há de me seguir por todos
Todos, todos, todos o umbrais
E quando o seu bem-querer mentir
Que não vai haver adeus jamais
Há de responder com juras
Juras, juras, juras imorais
E quando o meu bem-querer sentir
Que o amor é coisa tão fugaz
Há de me abraçar com a garra
A garra, a garra, a garra dos mortais
E quando o seu bem-querer pedir
Pra você ficar um pouco mais
Há que me afagar com a calma
A calma, a calma, a calma dos casais
E quando o meu bem-querer ouvir
O meu coração bater demais
Há de me rasgar com a fúria
A fúria, a fúria, a fúria dos animais
E quando o seu bem-querer dormir
Tome conta que ele sonhe em paz
Como alguém que lhe apagasse a luz
Vedasse a porta e abrisse o gás

Naciste en un molino dentro del Tormes
Según dice quien tu historia escribió
Fuiste un niño tan famoso que tu nombre
Lazarillo de Tormes todo el mundo conoció
Lazarillo, pillo, pillo, pillo, buen amigo
Que viviste sin tener hogar y sin fortuna
Lazarillo, pillo, pillo, pillo, tu destino
Siempre fue burlar a quien te burló
Lazarillo, pillo, pillo, pillo, vagabundo
Tu creciste siempre caminando por la vida
Y aprendiste con razón a ser listo en la ocasión
Lazarillo, pillo, pillo, pillo, picarón
Lazarillo, pillo, pillo, pillo, vagabundo
Que viviste sin tener hogar y sin fortuna
Quiero yo con mi canción alegrar tu corazón
Lazarillo, pillo, pillo, pillo, picarón

Under the cover of a midnight scene
