Rock 'N' Road
Rock 'N' Road
English Version: Reelin' And Rockin'
Composer(s): C. Berry; Claude Moine
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
La vie de road est un dur, dur métier
Toujours derrière la Star, sans jamais se montrer
J'regarde ma montre, il est temps d'y aller
Demain j'ai un gala, mille bornes en matinée
C'est ça, vivre le Rock 'n' Road
Bière, sandwich, autoroute et camion à rôder
Je suis sur place, il faut tout installer
La scène est en plein air, la pluie s'met à tomber
C'est ça, vivre le Rock 'n' Road
Fatigué, enrhumé, voire même court-circuité
La Star est là, elle a très bien chanté
Le concert est fini, je dois tout remballer
C'est ça, vivre le Rock 'n' Road
Arriver le premier et partir le dernier
C'est pas tout ça mais j'aimerai bien manger
Boire un verre bien relax, bien sûr tout est fermé
C'est ça, vivre le Rock 'n' Road
Jamais de trois étoiles et l'ulcère assuré
La fille au bar, je l'ai bien regardée
Je la trouvais très moche, maintenant c'est une beauté
C'est ça, vivre le Rock 'n' Road
Etre un peu mythomane mais un moral d'acier
Le type au bar, lui m'a très bien noté
Il est trois fois comme moi, il va bien s'amuser
C'est ça, vivre le Rock 'n' Road
Savoir prendre le large et surtout encaisser
Les flics, les notaires, les gendarmes, les huissiers
Viennent nous demander l'heure
Nous nous sommes envolés
C'est ça, vivre le Rock 'n' Road
Tant qu'il y aura à boire et des filles à aimer
La vie de road est un dur, dur métier
Toujours derrière la Star, sans jamais se montrer

Comfortably Numb
Comfortably Numb
Composer(s): David Gilmour; Roger Waters
First release by: Pink Floyd
Covered by various other artists
Hello
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone home?
Come on, now
I hear you're feeling down
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again
Relax
I need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I got that feeling once again.
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb
Ok
Just a little pinprick [ping]
There'll be no more -- Aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working
Good
That'll keep you going for the show
Come on it's time to go
There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown, the dream is gone
I have become comfortably numb

Rock Music
Composer(s): Craig Chaquico; Jeannette Sears
Performer(s): Jefferson Starship
Rock n roll is good time music
Rock n roll is good time music
Mama said be a doctor son
But a voice said follow the music
Papa said be a lawyer boy
But a voice said follow the mu'
'Cause you know you're not doin' for the money
You're doin' it just for the thrills
You don't do it for money, boy
So thank the Lord rock keeps payin' the bills
Rock n roll is good time music
Rock n roll is good time music
Rock n roll is good time music
You may think that life ain't no laughing matter
And go right on a talkin' all your intellectual chatter
Well all that jivin', it ain't true
So let's just push on through
Rock n roll to stay alive
Rock n roll will survive
Sneakin' Monica out after the prom
You know I didn't get her back, people
'Till just before dawn
Outside we were creepin'
Inside everyone was sleepin'
Goodness gracious!
That's rock n roll!
Rock n roll is good time music
Rock n roll is good time music
Rock n roll is good time music
Rock n roll is good time music

I sharpen knives for all the wives

I'll mend a clock
An apple cart
A broken heart
I mend anything
But he'd rather sing

Cometa De La Farola
Cometa De La Farola
Performer(s): Jaime Roos
Dale que sopla torcido
No se te vaya a caer
Que cose y que pinta
y qué linda que está
Que tira y que tira
y qué lindo que va
Polleras de trapo marcando el compás
Cañas ligeras que saben volar
Dale más piola que llega hasta el sol
Cometa de la Farola
Niña del Parque Rodó
Que cose y que pinta
y qué linda que está
Que tira y que tira
y qué lindo que va
Creció retobada en el viento del sur
Violeta pintada en algún cielo azul
Dale más piola que llega hasta el sol
Tira y que tira y trepa y con la cometa
Se fue mi amor
Ay que tira y que tira y sube
Y hacia las nubes me voy
Ay que tira y que tira y trepa y con la violeta
Se fue mi amor
Ay que tira y que tira y sube
Y hacia las nubes me voy
La murga del Tren Fantasma
Bombo y platillo campeón
Que cose y que pinta
y qué linda que está
Que tira y que tira
y qué lindo que va
Polleras de trapo marcando el compás
Cañas ligeras que saben volar
Dale más piola que llega hasta el sol
Tira y que tira y trepa...

Rock Me When He's Gone
Rock Me When He's Gone
Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Long John Baldry; Elton John
Warm the wine and give it to me one more time again
I'm just a rolling stone who needs a drop of rain
And to taste your honey, Mona is like licking on the sun
My truck's hid in the back yard so come here and give me some
Said lady, that's the way
You've gotta rock me when he's gone
You make me feel like a diesel train going home
We got so much to give each other
And we've only just begun
So take me baby, break me lady
Gotta rock me when he's gone
Break the bread in two and you can give me half
I've ridden hard and fast just to make you laugh
To make you laugh I've stood knee-deep in mud outside your door
Clutching in my hand a border rose from Baltimore
(Refrain)
(Refrain)
Come on and rock me
Come on and rock me
Come on and rock me
Rock me when he's gone
(Repeat about 3 times)
Last Time:
Come on and rock me
Come on and rock me
Come on and rock me
When he's... Gone

The Ultimate Sin
The Ultimate Sin
Composer(s): Bob Daisley - J. Williams - Ozzy Osbourne
Performer(s): Ozzy Osbourne; Soulless
Overkill enough is enough
There's nothing left of me to devour
You've had your fill I'm all I have left
What can stop your hunger for power
'Cos you took advantage of things that I said
Now the feeling is dead
And that's the ultimate sin
And that's the ultimate sin
Anyway I look at it now
The doors are closed and cannot be opened
Bury your anger and bury your dead
Or you'll be left with nothing and no one
There's no point in screaming 'cos you won't be heard
Now that tables have turned
It was the ultimate sin
It was the ultimate sin
It was the ultimate sin
It was the ultimate sin
I warned you then and I'm warning you now
If you mess with me you're playing with fire
Winds of change that are fanning the flames
Will carry you to your funreal pyre
It's pulling you down
It's your final descent
It's too late to repent
When it's the ultimate sin
When it's the ultimate sin
When it's the ultimate sin
When it's the ultimate sin
When it's the ultimate sin

Comes The Flood
Comes The Flood
Composer(s): Tony Carey
Performer(s): Tony Carey
Let's talk it over
let's be blunt
I don't wanna say this more than once
But we've been fighting out on too many fronts
we got lost somewhere
You cut and run away wherever you can
You think what's wrong is something I won't understand
Well
here I am amd babe
I'm holding out my hand
And I really do care
There is only one way out of here
There is only one thing we must fear
Only one voice in my ear
So listen very well here wherever you are
Let the rain come washing over you
Comes the flood
I'll be right there next to you
Let the rain come washing you down
let it wash right over you
Comes the flood
comes the flood
I'll be right there next to you
It felt like heaven when we left that town
Seemed like salvation all the way around
I thought my feet would stay six inches off the ground
We had a love babe
I look you over
and I have to look away
I can't stand to see you hurting that way
Why won't you see that I am with you all the way?
You're my blood babe
There's only one way out of here
Let the rain come washing over you

Rock Me On The Water
Rock Me On The Water
Composer(s): Jackson Browne
Performer(s): Jackson Browne;
and various other artists
Oh people look around you
The signs are everywhere
You left him for somebody other than you
To be the one to care
You're lost inside your houses
There's no time to find you now
Oh your walls are burning
And your towers are turning
I've gotta leave you here
And try to get down to the sea somehow
Rock me on the water
Sister won't you soothe my fevered brow
O-oh rock me on the water
Gotta get down to the sea somehow
The road is filled with homeless souls
Every woman child and man
Who have no idea where they will go
But they'll help you if they can
Now everyone must have some thought
That's gonna pull them through somehow
Well the fires are raging hotter and hotter
But the sisters of the sun
Are gonna rock me on the water now
Rock me on the water
Sister won't you soothe my fevered brow
O-oh rock me on the water
I gotta get down to the sea somehow
Oh people look among you
It's there your hope must lie
There's a seabird above you gliding in one place
Like Jesus in the sky
We all must do the best we can
And then hang onto that gospel cloud
When my life is over
Gonna stand for the father
But the sisters of the sun
Are gonna rock me on the water now
Rock me on the water
Sister won't you soothe my fevered brow
O-oh rock me on the water
Then maybe I'll remember
Maybe I'll remember how
Rock me on the water
The wind is with me now
O-oh rock me on the water
Gotta get down to the sea somehow
I gotta get down to the sea somehow

The Ugly Duckling
The Ugly Duckling
Composer(s): Frank Loesser
Performer(s): Danny Kaye
and multiple other artists
There once was an ugly duckling
With feathers all stubby and brown
And the other birds said in so many words
Get out of town
Get out, get out, get out of town
And he went with a quack and a waddle and a quack
In a flurry of eiderdown
That poor little ugly duckling
Went wandering far and near
But at every place they said to his face
Now get out, get out, get out of here
And he went with a quack and a waddle and a quack
And a very unhappy tear
All through the wintertime he hid himself away
Ashamed to show his face, afraid of what others might say
All through the winter in his lonely clump of wheat
Till a flock of swans spied him there and very soon agreed
You’re a very fine swan indeed!
A swan? Me a swan? Ah, go on!
And he said yes, you’re a swan
Take a look at yourself in the lake and you’ll see
And he looked, and he saw, and he said
I am a swan! Wheeeeeeee!
I’m not such an ugly duckling
No feathers all stubby and brown
For in fact these birds in so many words said
The best in town, the best, the best
The best in town
Not a quack, not a quack, not a waddle or a quack
But a glide and a whistle and a snowy white back
And a head so noble and high
Say who’s an ugly duckling?
Not I!
Not I!

Comes Once In A Lifetime
Composer(s): Jule Styne; Betty Comden; Adolph Green
Performer(s): Judy Garland
and various other artists
Every day, just go along dawn till sundown
Here's a rundown
Every day that comes, comes once in a lifetime
Take each day and gather the rosebuds in it
Fill each minute
Every day that comes, comes once in a lifetime
Think of now, tomorrow is waiting in the wings
Who knows what it brings
While the future waits, the present swings
Day to day, in Brooklyn or China 'cross the bay
Only once comes this particular sky
Only once these precious hours go by
Only once in a lifetime the day comes by
So live, live, live, live today
Think of now, tomorrow is waiting in the wings
Who knows what it brings
While the future waits, the present swings
From day to day, in Brooklyn or China 'cross the bay
Only once comes this particular sky
Only once these precious hours go by
Only once in a lifetime a day comes by
So live, live, live, come on and live today

The Ugly Bug Ball
The Ugly Bug Ball
Composer(s): Richard M. Sherman - Robert B. Sherman
Performer(s): Burl Ives
and multiple other artists
Once a lonely caterpillar sat and cried
To a sympathetic beetle by his side
"I've got nobody to hug
I'm such an ugly bug"
Then a spider and a dragon fly replied
"If you're serious and want to win a bride
Come along with us
To the glorious
Annual ugly bug ball"
Come on let's crawl
Gotta crawl, gotta crawl
To the ugly bug ball
To the ball, to the ball
And a happy time we'll have there
One and all
At the ugly bug ball
While the crickets clicked their tricky melodies
All the ants were fancy-dancing with the fleas
Then up from under the ground
The worms came squirming around
Everyone was glad! What a time they had!
They were so happy they came!
Come on let's crawl
Gotta crawl, gotta crawl
To the ugly bug ball
To the ball, to the ball
And a happy time we'll have there
One and all!
At the ugly bug ball
Then our caterpillar saw a pretty queen
She was beautiful in yellow, black and green
He said, "Would you care to dance?"
Their dancing led to romance
And she sat upon his caterpillar knees
And he gave his caterpillar queen a squeeze
Soon they'll honeymoon
Build a big cocoon
Thanks to the ugly bug ball
Come on let's crawl
Gotta crawl, gotta crawl
To the ugly bug ball
To the ball, to the ball
And a happy time we'll have there
One and all!
At the ugly bug ball!

Originally performed by: Judy Canova
Covered by various other artists
Come a rain storm put your rubbers on your feet
Comes a snow storm you can get a little heat
Comes love nothing can be done
Comes a fire then you know just what to do
Blow a tire
You can buy another shoe
Comes love nothing can be done
Don’t try hidin' 'cause there isn’t any use
You’ll start slidin' when your heart turns on the juice
Comes a headache you can lose it in a day
Comes a toothache see the dentist right away
Comes love nothing can be done!
Comes a heat wave you can hurry to the shore
Comes a summons you can hide behind the door
Comes love
Nothing can be done
Comes the measles you can quarantine the room
Comes a mousie you can chase it with a broom
Comes love nothing can be done
That’s all brother
If you’ve ever been in love
That’s all brother, you know what I’m speaking of!
Comes a nightmare you can always stay awake
Comes depression you may get another break
Comes love nothing can be done!

The U.S.A. And You
Composer(s): Leo Robin - Ralph Rainger
The life I live
I would gladly give
For the U.S.A. and you
But I'd be sore
If a doggone war
Ever came between us two
I hope I stay in the U.S.A.
But if there comes a day
When I must go away
I'll still be true
To the U.S.A. and you

Comes And Goes
Comes And Goes
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
The woman's like the night
She comes and goes
She breaks my heart each day
And never knows
And the time I spend in sorrow
Will match the time I live
And the time that's left is
All I have to give
The woman's like an ivy on a pole
She wraps her twisted love around my soul
There will come a sudden winter
When she'll seek the warmth of day
And there'll come a time when she will come to stay
The woman's like the tide
She comes and goes
She knows the things that I can just suppose
And the time I spend in sorrow
Will match the time that she laughs
And the songs I sing cannot explain but half
