Something Sort Of Grandish
Something Sort Of Grandish
Composer(s): Burton Lane - E.Y. Harburg
Performer(s): David Wayne & Ella Logan
and multiple other artists
Petula:
Is it a warmish, kind of glowish, kind of peculiarish sensation?
Tommy:
Oh no, it's sort of a shimmerish kind of quimmerish, flibbery-gibberish sensation
Petula: Does it make you feel humming birds in your heart?
Tommy: Butterflies in me feet
Petula: And bees in your bonnet
Tommy: Stars in me britches
Petula: Does it make you want to dance?
Tommy: I hadn't noticed
Petula: And sing?
Tommy: Oh, it does, it does....
Tommy:
Something sweet
Something sort of grandish
Sweeps my soul
When thou art near
My heart feels so sugar candish
My head feels so ginger beer
Something so dareish
So I don't careish
Stirs me from limb to limb
It's so terrifish, magnifish, delish
To have such an amorish, glamorish dish
We could be, oh, so bride and groomish
Skies could be so bluish blue
Life could be so love in bloomish
If my ishes could come true
Petula:
Thou art sweet
Thou art sort of grandish
Thou outlandish cavalier
From now on, we're hand in handish
Romeo
Tommy:
And Guinevere
Thou'rt so adorish
Toujours l'amourish
I'm so cherchez la femme
Petula:
Why should I vanquish
Relinquish, resish
Tommy:
When I simply relish this hellish condish
I might be manish or mouseish
I might be a fowl or fish
But with thee I'm Eisenhowzish
Please accept my propasish
Both:
You're under my skinish
So please be give-inish
Or it's the beginish of the finish of me
-----
Reprise:
Children, if you help me find the little gold crock
You can have anything that's made in fairyland
There'll be things plenty for allish
Wondrish toys and magic tricks
Electrish trains and basket ballish
Mintish drops and licorice stick
Life will be keenish all halloweenish
And jelly beanish too
With ice-cream, and cakish
And soda to sup
And no bellyacheish
To wakeish you up
There will be such delicious dishes
And will end to this daffyish plot
We will go from wretch to riches
When we'll find that goldish pot
There will be chocolate castish
With hot-dogs, and mustish
But cheers! ev'rybodysh
Must fastish come trough

Utterly Simple
Utterly Simple
Composer(s): Dave Mason
Performer(s): Traffic; The Smoke
Everything really is stupidly simple
And yet all around is utter confusion
Fairy tales written may help you to see it
Do you understand about Lewis's Alice?
We fit all our lives into regular patterns
All that we really know is that we're really living
(spoken:
The man that seeks the world, his wisdom seeks to know his mind
And knowing where his feet should walk, and when he should or should not
talk And have a friend to find
Don't look around to find the sound that's right beneath your feet
The hermit sits inside his cave and seeks to know his mind
Staring into empty space and seeing things in people's faces others cannot find
Don't look around to find the sound that's right beneath your feet)
We've nothing to hide so why try to hide it?
I know there are some but they're screwed up inside
If you need a reason for all this I'm singing
It's simpleness really that gives it its meaning

Ugly Chile
Ugly Chile
Composer(s): Clarence Williams; Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Johnny Mercer
You're so pretty
Oh! so pretty
You're some pretty doll
You've got the kind of eyes that seem to talk
They make me get so nervous that I have to walk
Oh! I love you, how I love you
More and more each day
You've got some smile, you're pretty too
I've got a million dollars that I'll spend on you
'Cause you're so pretty, oh! o pretty
You're some pretty doll
Now that's the way my folks would always sing to me
When I was just a blossom on my family tree
But when I got around to datin' my first chick
This is what she said, an' did she spread it thick...
Hey! You're ugly, oh! so ugly
You're some ugly chile
The clothes you wear are not in style
You look like an ape every time you smile
How I hate you, you alligator bait, you
Why don't you lay down and die
How I hate you, you alligator bait, you
An' here's the reason why...
You're knock kneed, pigeon toed, box ankled
You're big foot, barefoot slue footed too
How'd they ever get a pair of shoes on you
Your short and squatty, just nobody
You're some Ugly Chile
What a joke on your family when along comes you
You're dippy, dappy, hey! slap happy
You're some Ugly Chile!
----------
Alternate Version:
You're Some Pretty Doll
You're so pretty, oh! so pretty
You're some pretty doll
You've got the kind of eyes that seem to talk
They make me get so nervous that I have to walk
Oh! I love you, how I love you
More and more each day
You've got some smile, you're pretty too
And I've a million dollars that I'll spend on you
'Cause you're so pretty
Oh! so pretty
You're some pretty doll
Now listen Dolly, come over here
There's something I must whisper in your ear
You've got me hanging 'round you like a child
It seems as if you're goin' to drive me wild
These words I tell you are really true
And what I say I'll surely do
Oh! you're cute and handsome, I can't help but fall
You're just a perfect Doll
Your baby ways and your loving smile
It sets my heart jumping ll the while
Those charming little curls and dimples too
They make me know that it is you, just you
I wonder if your dear heart is mine
If so, it is a joy divine
Oh! won't you tell me and put my heart at ease
Oh! for a loving squeeze
You're so pretty, oh! so pretty
You're some pretty doll
You've got the kind of eyes that seem to talk
They make me get so nervous that I have to walk
Oh! I love you, how I love you,
More and more each day
You've got some smile, you're pretty too
And I've a million dollars that I'll spend on you
'Cause you're so pretty
Oh! so pretty
You're some pretty doll

Something So Strong
Something So Strong
Composer(s): Mick Leeson - Peter Vale - Miles Waters
Performer(s): Jim Capaldi
We started off heading for the top and set our sights on the sun
Now there's no more tears as we're standing here, and the morning light has begun
They said that you'll expire. You're wasting your time to try
But inside a heart of fire is a force you can't deny
Something so strong driving me on, never tire
Something so strong, born of the sun
Like a fire burns inside me so strong
We live in hope waiting for the day, when all our dreams can begin
But the time it takes for the rain to fall, is the time it takes to give in
They said that you'll expire. You're wasting your time to try
But inside a heart of fire, is a force you can't deny
Something so strong driving me on, never tire
Something so strong, born of the sun
Like a fire, sea of fire, burns inside me so strong
Love is what brought us here
And no-one can deny
Something so strong driving me on, never tire
Something so strong burning so long, like a fire
Something so strong born of the sun, taking me higher
Something so strong been coming so long, burning desire
Something so strong driving me on, never tire
Something so strong burning so long, like a fire
Something so strong born of the sun, taking me higher
Something so strong been coming so long, burning desire
Something so strong driving me on, never tire
Something so strong burning so long, like a fire

Keine Mauern Mehr
Keine Mauern Mehr
First performance by: Simone - 1990
Zur selben Zeit vor einem Jahr
Hat niemand sich's gedacht
Daß unser Freiheitstraum
Den Sprung nach vorne macht
Gegenwart kommt in Fahrt
Sie muß um jeden Preis
Bunter sein
Nicht nur schwarz und weiß
Denn unsere Zukunft wird erst jetzt geboren
Viele Sprachen, viele Ohren
Keine Mauern mehr, no walls anywhere
(Keine Mauern mehr)
Tomber les barrières, keine Mauern mehr
Keine Mauern mehr
Der Wind ist stark, er nimmt im Sturm
Bläst manchem ins Gesicht
Die feste Hand am Widerstand zerbricht
Denn unsere Zukunft wird erst jetzt geboren
Viele Sprachen, viele Ohren
Keine Mauern mehr, no walls anywhere
(Keine Mauern mehr)
Nema više zidova, keine Mauern mehr
Keine Mauern mehr

Something So Right
Something So Right
Composer(s): Paul Simon
First release by: Paul Simon - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists
Titles In Other Languages:
1973 - Se Una Donna Non Va
1979 - Une Chose Qui Va Bien
You've got the cool water
When the river runs high
And you've got the look of love
Right in your eyes
And I was in a crazy motion
Till you calmed me down
It took a little time
But you calmed me down
Some people never say the words "I love you"
It's not their style to be so bold
Some people never say the words "I love you"
But like a child
They're longing to be told
They've got a wall in China
It's a thousand miles long
To keep out the foreigners
They made it strong
And I've got a wall around me
That you can't even see
It took a little time
To get next to me
If something goes wrong
I'm the first to admit it
The first to admit it
But the last one to know
If something goes right
Well,it's likely to lose me
It's apt to confuse me
Because it's such an unusual sight
Oh I can't get used to something so right
Something so right
Some people never say the words "I love you"
It's not their style to be so bold
Some people never say the words "I love you"
But like a child I'm longing to be told
They've got a wall in China
And I've got a wall around me
It took a little time
To get next to me

Som En Vind
Som En Vind
Composer(s): Mikael Wendt
First performance by: Edin-Ådahl - 1990
Ut ur en dröm och in i mitt hjärta
Kom en känsla och fyllde min själ
Och jag, en man, som reser i tankar
Fylld av visioner ur en dröm
Och jag känner...
Som en vind, sveper inom mig
Skänker mig värme, kom var mig närmre
Som en vind, visa mig vägen
Rör vid mig som en vind
Tillsammans, men långt ifrån varann
Vi vet att vi vill och vi kan
En tanke säger mer än tusen ord
Ändå vet jag inte vad jag ska tro
Men jag känner...
Som en vind, sveper inom mig
Skänker mig värme, kom var mig närmre
Som en vind, visa mig vägen
Rör vid mig som en vind
Jag, en man, fylld av visioner
Stanna och rör mig
Som en vind, sveper inom mig
Skänker mig värme, kom var mig närmre
Som en vind, visa mig vägen
Kom till mig, stanna
Vänd inte från mig
Rör vid mig som en vind
Rör vid mig som en vind

Something In Your Smile
Something In Your Smile
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
Performer(s): Anthony Newley
and multiple other artists
Dolittle:
My dear Miss Fairfax.....Emma....
It is evening, and as I sit here by the sea.....
I find my thoughts drifting .....to.....you
Something in your smile
Speaks to me
Something in your eyes
Shows me the way
And helps me to say
The things that I could never say to you
Something in your voice
Sings to me
Something in your laugh
Makes me rejoice
And there is no choice
Except to let my thoughts all stray to you
And stray to you they do
Something in you is rich and rare
And there is something more
Something in you is everything
I've never known before
For something of your charm
Clings to me
Something of your warmth
Has stayed in my heart
And made me a part of you
For just a little while....
So think of me
As something in your smile
Yours sincerely, John Dolittle

Somewhere in Europe
Somewhere in Europe
Composer(s): Liam Reilly
First performance by: Liam Reilly - 1990
It's been a long time since we were together
I'm back in Ireland and I miss you more than ever
In early spring we parted and I've been here since then
But if I could only see you once again
Meet me in Paris on a Champs-Élysées night
We could be in Rome again, 'neath the Trevi fountain light
We should be together, and maybe we just might
If you could only meet me somewhere in Europe tonight
I remember Amsterdam as we sailed along the canal
And as the leaves began to fall, we were walking in old Bruxelles
In the Black Forest on a German summer's day
And the memories refuse to go away
Meet me in Paris on a Champs-Élysées night
We could be in Rome again, 'neath the Trevi fountain light
We should be together, and maybe we just might
If you could only meet me somewhere in Europe
Don't you remember those Adriatic days?
I miss your laughter and all your little ways
I can still see you in London, walking on Trafalgar Square
And drinking wine in Old Seville, how I wish that we were there
Meet me in Paris on a Champs-Élysées night
We could be in Rome again, 'neath the Trevi fountain light
We should be together, maybe we just might
If you could only meet me somewhere in Europe tonight
Meet me in Paris on a Champs-Élysées night
We could be in Rome again, 'neath the Trevi fountain light
We should be together, and maybe we just might
If you could only meet me somewhere in Europe tonight
Somewhere in Europe tonight
Somewhere in Europe

Until It's Time For You To Go
Until It's Time For You To Go
Composer(s): Buffy Saint-Marie
Performer(s): Buffy Saint-Marie;
and various other artists
You're not a dream
You're not an angel
You're a woman
I'm not a king
I'm a man
Take my hand
We'll make a space
In the lives that we planned
And here we'll stay
Until it's time for you to go
Yes, we're diff'rent worlds apart
We're not the same
We laughed and played
At the start like in a game
You could have stayed
Outside my heart
But in you came
And here you'll stay
Until it's time for you to go
Don't ask why,
Don't ask how
Don't ask forever
Love me now
This love of mine
Had no beginning
It has no end
I was an oak
Now I'm a willow
Now I can bend
And tho' I'll never
In my life see you again
I still stay
Until it's time for you to go

Something In Your Eyes
Something In Your Eyes
Composer(s): Richard Carpenter - Pamela Phillips Oland
Performer(s): Richard Carpenter
There was a certain face
That filled a thousand nights
With all the sweetest dreams and promises
Of paradise
But that face was gone
When the dawn would come and steal you
Yet I still could feel you
Waiting just a kiss away
I'd surely know your face
When love would cast its spell
I'd recognize each curve and line of you
I knew it well
Now at last you're here and I can tell
Something in your eyes I see
Is all I've ever wanted
(And) Something in your smile for me
Is calling out my name
Your eyes it seems
Are mirrors of my dreams
In ways I can't explain...
And my heart will never be the same
We never said a word
As if we'd always known
That through the bittersweet of waiting
We were not alone
Now we're close enough
For the touch of love to find us
Fantasies designed us
But they never really could
Begin to measure you
No pictures ever do
And as I watch you framed in sunlight
And a sky of blue
I know what my life's been leading to
Something in your eyes I see
Is all I've ever wanted
(And) Something in your smile for me
Is calling out my name
Your eyes it seems
Are mirrors of my dreams
In ways I can't explain...
And my heart will never be the same

Until The Real Thing Comes Along
Until The Real Thing Comes Along
Composer(s): Mann Holiner; Alberta Nichols;
Sammy Cahn; Saul Chaplin; L.E. Freeman
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists
Don't you know I'd work for you, I'd slave for you
Be a beggar or a knave for you
If that isn't love it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
Gladly move the earth for you
Prove my love dear, and it's worth for you
If that isn't love it'll have to do
Until the real thing comes along
With all the words dear at my command
I just can't make you understand
I'll always love you baby - come what may
My heart is yours - what more can I say
I would cry for you, even sigh for you
Tear those stars down from the sky for you
If that isn't love it'll have to do
Until the real thing comes along
Walk on burning coals for you
I would drive the Chrysler,leave the Rolls for you
If that ain't love it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
I would try to hit high "C" for you
I'd even punch out Mr. T for you
If that ain't love it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
There's not a thing that you can't ask of me
Go on, demand any task of me
If you want the moon or a lavaliere
All you got to do is nibble on my ear
I would rob, steal, beg, borrow, and lie for you
Lay my little body down and die for you
(If that ain't love - if that isn't love)
If that ain't love it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along

Há Sempre Alguém
Há Sempre Alguém
Composer(s): Francisco Pereira - Frederico Pereira - Luis Filipe - Jan Van Dijck
First performance by: Nucha - 1990
Sempre há sempre alguém
Que ainda não tem
O tanto que temos
Sempre há sempre alguém
No canto do mundo
Que sonha também
A vida corria
Diante de nós
Sem cores nem harmonia
O passo era o muro que calava a voz
A verdade nada valia
Quantos momentos perdemos então
O medo da vida o sonho era em vão
As vozes do vento
E as ondas do mar
Fizeram este novo dia
Agora vivemos sem ter de sonhar
Momentos de louca alegria
Cantamos unidos
Sem olhar p’ra trás
Nada detém o amor e a paz

Until We Sleep
Until We Sleep
Composer(s): David Gilmour
Performer(s): David Gilmour
Dance, to the movement of the stars
Sing till the walls around us ring
Pray that it never fades away
Until we sleep
Feast, go ahead now, take your fill
Drink, till the room begins to sway
Play, and your cares will blow away
Until we sleep
Into a deep and dreamless sleep our spirits fall
And what we sow we cannot reap nor keep at all
Work, though the work will break your back
Rest, hope to feel your spirits rise
But the years, have cut you down to size
Now go to sleep
Into a deep and dreamless sleep our spirits fall
And what we sow we cannot reap nor keep at all

Performer(s): Deanna Durbin
and multiple other artists
Do you hear what I hear?
There's something in the wind
Something that the moonbeams
Think we oughta know
Do you feel as I feel
There's something in the wind?
Something that the stars planned
Centuries ago
A funny little bird just sent word
From the treetops
That you will be tops
In my heart
When do we start?
Kiss me and hold me
There's something in the wind
And it tells me
We're gonna fall in love
Do you feel as I feel
There's something in the wind?
Something that the stars planned
Centuries ago
A funny little bird just sent word
From the treetops
That you will be tops
In my heart
When do we start?
Kiss me and hold me
There's something in the wind
And it tells me
(and it tells me)
We're gonna fall in love
