L'important, C'est La Rose
L'important, C'est La Rose
((Danish Version: Bare Gi' Mig En Rose (by Grethe & Jørgen))
Composer(s): Louis Amade - Gilbert Bécaud
First release by: Gilbert Bécaud - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
Toi qui marches dans le vent
Seul dans la trop grande ville
Avec le cafard tranquille du passant
Toi qu'elle a laissé tomber
Pour courir vers d'autres lunes
Pour courir d'autres fortunes
L'important...
L'important c'est la rose
L'important c'est la rose
L'important c'est la rose
Crois-moi
Toi qui cherches quelque argent
Pour te boucler la semaine
Dans la ville tu promènes ton ballant
Cascadeur, soleil couchant
Tu passes devant les banques
Si tu n'es que saltimbanque
L'important...
L'important c'est la rose
L'important c'est la rose
L'important c'est la rose
Crois-moi
Toi, petit, que tes parents
Ont laissé seul sur la terre
Petit oiseau sans lumière, sans printemps
Dans ta veste de drap blanc
Il fait froid comme en Bohème
T'as le cœur comme en carême
Et pourtant...
L'important c'est la rose
L'important c'est la rose
L'important c'est la rose
Crois-moi
Toi pour qui, donnant-donnant
J'ai chanté ces quelques lignes
Comme pour te faire un signe en passant
Dis à ton tour maintenant
Que la vie n'a d'importance
Que par une fleur qui danse
Sur le temps...
L'important c'est la rose
L'important c'est la rose
L'important c'est la rose
Crois-moi

Bye-Bye Baby (Baby Goodbye)
Bye-Bye Baby (Baby Goodbye)
Composer(s): Bob Crewe; Bob Gaudio
Originally performed by: Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons
Covered by various other artists
If you hate me after what I say
Can't put it off any longer
I just gotta tell you anyway
Bye Bye Baby Goodbye
Bye Bye Baby don't make me cry
Your the one girl in town I'd marry
Girl I'd marry you now if I were free
I wish it could be
I could love you but why begin it
'Cause there ain't any future in it
She's got me and I'm not free
So Bye Bye Baby Baby Goodbye
Bye Bye Baby don't make me cry
Guess I will never know you better
Wish I knew you before I met her
Gee how good you would be for me
Should have told you that I can't linger
There's a weddin' ring on my finger
She's got me and I'm not free
So Bye Bye Baby Baby Goodbye
Bye Bye Baby don't make me cry

L'impasse
L'impasse
Composer(s): Françoise Hardy - Pierre Papadiamondis
Performer(s): Françoise Hardy
Quoi que tu me dises
quoi que tu me fasses
et même si par moment
je sais me mettre à ta place
toutes les choses que je comprends
sont celles qui me cassent
et je ne peux rien vraiment
je suis dans l'impasse
c'est bien un enfer
c'est bien une impasse
chaque fois que je te perds
en allant chercher ta trace
dans tes longs, désespérants
silences de glace
et je ne peux rien vraiment
je suis dans l'impasse
comment sortir de là?
c'est une drôle d'angoisse
d'être dans l'impasse
alors j'aime tomber
au fond d'un Chivas
car je me mets à rêver
que c'est toi qui me ramasses
que tu veux bien me parler
et que tu m'embrasses
pour m'aider à supporter
d'être dans l'impasse
comment sortir de là?
c'est une drôle d'angoisse
d'être dans l'impasse

What Did I Ever See In Him?
What Did I Ever See In Him?
Composer(s): Charles Strouse; Lee Adams
Performer(s): Chita Rivera
Rosie:
Eight years, eight years
That's how long I've wasted on him!
That's all, I'm through
Albert dear, to put it sweetly
To hell with you!
What did I ever see in him?
How did I ever get evolved that way?
Now that it's over I can smile and say
What did I ever see in him?
Boy, I was way out on the limb
Now that my feet are on the ground again
Now that my senses have been found again
What did I ever see in him?
Is he tender?
No, he's not!
Is he thoughtful?
No, he's not!
Am I crazy?
What's he's got that I found so damned appealing?
What did he ever do for me?
Well, to be honest he was sometimes nice
But still it wasn't worth that awful price
It was rough from the start
Broken dates, broken nails, broken heart
How did I ever?
Why did I ever?
What did I ever?
Rosie and Kim:
Do we need them? No, we don't!
Do we want them? No, we don't!
Will we leave them? No, we won't!
Tell me what did I say that for?
What did we ever see in them?
How could we ever think that they were nice?
Take it from us we pay an awful price
It was rough from the start
Broken dates, broken nails, broken heart
What did I ever see in him

Limosnero de amor me llaman
limosnero de amor yo soy
fuiste muy canalla

te llevaste todo
me dejaste solo
desde entonces me llaman
desde entonces me llaman
limosnero de amor
Te llevaste todo
me dejaste solo
desde entonces me llaman

Rosie
Rosie
Composer(s): Charles Strouse; Lee Adams
Performer(s): Dick Van Dyke, Janet Leigh,
Ann-Margret, Bobby Rydell
Albert:
I was never crazy for flowers
I confess that nothing left me colder
I could watch a daisy for hours
And all I'd feel was sev'ral hours older!
Lilacs and lilies, any bloom you please
All what they did was make me shrug or sneeze
But now I love each blossom that I see
For a lovely little rose loves me
Now my life is rosy, when I'm my Rosie
With a girl like Rosie
How could I be blue?
Hand in hand we'll mosey
Me and little Rosie
We will be so cozy
By a fire built for two
Oh! I once heard a poem that goes
"A rose is a rose is a rose"
Well I don't agree
Take it from me
There's one rose sweeter than any that grows!
That's my Rosie,
I'm so glad she chose me
Life is one sweet beautiful song to me
Now my life is rosy (Oh, we'll be happy, I know)
Since I found my Rosie (Off to the preacher we'll go)
With a girl like Rosie (So how could we be blue?)
How could I be blue?
Rosie:
Oh we'll have us a home out west
A nice little split-level nest
And in ev'ry room roses in bloom...
Albert:
But there's on rose sweeter than all of the rest!
Then that's my Rosie
Rosie:
I'm so glad you chose me!
Both:
Life is one sweet beautiful song to me
When love is right then
What can be wrong?
Life is one sweet beautiful song
To me!

L'immensita
L'immensita
Composer(s): Don Backy - Mogol - Detto Mariano
Performer(s): Don Backy
and multiple other artists
Io son sicuro che, per ogni goccia
per ogni goccia che cadrà
un nuovo fiore nascerà
e su quel fiore una farfalla volerà
Io son sicuro che
in questa grande immensità
qualcuno pensa un poco a me
e non mi scorderà
Sì, io lo so
tutta la vita sempre solo non sarò
e un giorno io saprò
d'essere un piccolo pensiero
nella più grande immensità.....
di quel cielo
Sì, io lo s,
tutta la vita sempre solo non sarò
un giorno troverò
un po' d'amore anche per me
per me che sono nullità
nell'immensità ...

Why can't they dance like we did
What's wrong with Sammy Caine?
What's the matter with kids today!

Lime Tree Arbour
Lime Tree Arbour
Composer(s): Nick Cave
Performer(s): Nick Cave; Adam Sherman
The boatman calls from the lake
A lone loon dives upon the water
I put my hand over her
Down in the lime tree arbour
The wind in the trees is whispering
Whispering low that I love her
She puts her hand over mine
Down in the lime tree arbour
Through every breath that I breathe
And every place I go
There is hand that protects me
And I do love her so
There will always be suffering
It flows through life like water
I put my hand over hers
Down in the lime tree arbour
The boatman he has gone
And the loons have flown for cover
She puts her hand over mine
Down in the lime tree arbour
Through every word that I speak
And every thing I know
There is hand that protects me
And I do love her so

Limelight
Limelight
Composer(s): Neil Peart - Geddy Lee - Alex Lifeson
Performer(s): Rush
Living on a lighted stage
Approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality
Beyond the gilded cage
Cast in this unlikely role,
Ill-equipped to act
With insufficient tact
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact
Living in the limelight
The universal dream
For those who wish to seem
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation
The underlying theme
Living in a fisheye lens
Caught in the camera eye
I have no heart to lie
I can't pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend
All the world's indeed a stage
And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage

Oh, baby!
Oh, honey!

In ev'rything I do
My sincerity shows thro'
I looked you in the eye
Don't even have to try
It's automatic!
I'm sincere!
When I sing about a tree
I really feel that tree!
When I sing about a girl
I really feel that girl
I mean I really feel sincere!
If you're really sincere!
If you're really sincere!
If you feel it in here
Then it's gotta be right!
Oh, baby!
Oh, honey!
Hug me!
Suffer!
You gotta be sincere!
Oh oh, you gotta feel it here!
Oh, my baby, oh, my baby, oh yeah!

Composer(s): Philip Braham - Douglas Furber
First performance by: Gertrude Lawrence & Jack Buchanan - 1921
Covered by multiple other artists
And those weird China blues
Never go away
Sad, mad blues
For all the while they seem to say
Oh, Limehouse kid
Oh, oh, Limehouse kid
Goin' the way
That the rest of them did
Poor broken blossom
And nobody's child
Haunting and taunting
You're just kind of wild
Oh, Limehouse blues
I've the real Limehouse blues
Can't seem to shake off
Those real China blues
Rings on your fingers
And tears for your crown
That is the story
Of old Chinatown
Rings on your fingers
And tears for your crown
That is the story
Of old Chinatown

How Lovely To Be A Woman
How Lovely To Be A Woman
Composer(s): Charles Strouse; Lee Adams
Performer(s): Ann-Margret
and various other artists
When you're a skinny child of fourteen
Wide with braces from ear to ear
You doubt that you will ever be appealing
Then Hallelujah!
You are fifteen
And the braces disappear
And your skin is smooth and clear
And you have that happy grown-up female feeling
How lovely to be a woman
The wait was well worth while
How lovely to wear mascara
And smile a woman's smile
How lovely to have a figure
That's round instead of flat
Whenever you hear boys whistle
You're what they're whistling at
It's wonderful to feel
The way a woman feels
It gives you such a glow just to know
You're wearing lipstick and heels!
How lovely to be a woman
And have one job to do
To pick out a boy and train him
And then when you are through
You've made him the man you want him to be!
Life's lovely when you're a woman like me!
How wonderful to know
The things a woman knows
How marvelous to wait for a date
In simply beautiful clothes!
How lovely to be a woman
And change from boys to men
To go to a fancy nightclub
And stay out after ten
How lovely to be so grown-up and free!
Life's lovely when you're a woman like me!

Lime Street Blues
Lime Street Blues
Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum
Lime street in the afternoon
Everybody crazy as a coon
I’m running round in my underpants
Trying to find some kinda romance
Quarter past three [sic] on lime street
I got whipped right offa my feet
Didn’t realize that I’d been caught
Till I found myself in the county court
’Mr judge,’ I said, ’won’t you please be kind
Have pity on me, a poor orphan child?’
Mr judge he says with a long mean frown
’orphan or not, you’re going down!’
Well I screamed on my knees in the witness box
’lord have mercy on my golden locks’
The judge I could see that he was snide
He says, ’the only kind of blonde you are’s a peroxide!’
Oh Lime street, Lime street
Lime street, that’s where we meet

Bye Bye Birdie
I'm gonna miss you so

No more crying
When you twist those hips
Your swivel and your sway
Your super trooper
There's nothing left to say
But Conrad you're a jet
