Pretty Maids All In Row
Pretty Maids All In Row
Composer(s): Joe Walsh; Joe Vitale
Performer(s): Eagles; Dark One Lite
Hi there
How are 'ya?
It's been a long time
Seems like we've come a long way
My, but we learn so slow
and heroes, they come
and they go
and leave us behind as if
we're s'pposed to know why
Why do we give up our hearts to the past?
and why must we grow up so fast?
And all you wishing well fools
with your fortunes
someone should send you a rose with
love from a friend
It's nice to here from you again
And the storybook comes to a close
Gone are the ribbons and bows
Things to remember places to go
Pretty Maids all in a Row
Oh, oh oh, oh......

Pretty Maid Milking A Cow
Pretty Maid Milking A Cow
(aka It Was On A Fine Summer's Morning)
Composer(s): Caelin Deas; Thomas Moore
It was on a fine summer's morning
When the birds sweetly tuned on each bough
I heard a fair maid sing most charming
As she sat a-milking her cow
Her voice, it was chanting melodious
She left me scarce able to go
My heart it is soothed in solace
My Cailín deas crúite na mbó
With courtesy I did salute her
"Good-morrow, most amiable maid
I'm your captive slave for the future"
"Kind sir, do not banter," she said
"I'm not such a precious rare jewel
That I should enamour you so
I am but a plain country girl"
Says Cailín deas crúite na mbó
"The Indies afford no such jewel
So precious and transparently fair
Oh! do not to my flame add fuel
But consent for to love me, my dear
Take pity and grant my desire
And leave me no longer in woe
Oh! love me or else I'll expire
Sweet Cailín deas crúite na mbó"
"Or had I the wealth of great Damer
Or all on the African shore
Or had I great Devonshire treasure
Or had I ten thousand times more
Or had I the lamp of Alladin
Or had I his genie also
I'd rather live poor on a mountain
With Cailín deas crúite na mbó"
"I beg you'll withdraw and don't tease me
I cannot consent unto thee
I like to live single and airy
Till more of the world I do see
New cares they would me embarrass
Besides, sir, my fortune is low
Until I get rich I'll not marry"
Says Cailín deas crúite na mbó
"An old maid is like an old almanack
Quite useless when once out of date
If her ware is not sold in the morning
At noon it must fall to low rate
The fragrance of May is soon over
The rose loses its beauty, you know
All bloom is consumed in October
Sweet Cailín deas crúite na mbó"
"A young maid is like a ship sailing
There's no knowing how long she may steer
For with every blast she's in danger
Oh! consent, love, and banish all care
For riches I care not a farthing
Your affection I want and no more
In comfort I'd wish to enjoy you
My Cailín deas crúite na mbó.."

Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise
Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II; Sigmund Romberg
First performance: William O'Neal - 1928
Covered by multiple other artists
Love came to me
Gay and tender
Love came to me
Sweet surrender
Love came to me
In bright romantic splendor
Fickle was she
Faithful never
Fickle was she
And clever
So will it be – forever – forever
Softly, as in a morning sunrise
The light of love comes stealing
Into a new born day -- oh
Flaming with all the glow of sunrise
A burning kiss is sealing
The vow that all betray
For the passions that thrill love
And lift you high to heaven
Are the passions that kill love
And let you fall to hell
So ends the story
Softly, as in an evening sunset
The light that gave you glory
Will take it all away

I love the sea, I love the navy

But pretty little black eyed Susie
But pretty little black eyed Susie
Cross my heart my rambl'in' days are through
Pretty little black eyed Susie I love you
My pretty little black eyed Susie I love you

Amour On T'aime
Amour On T'aime
Composer(s): Alain Morisod - Pierre Alain
First performance by: Arlette Zola - 1982
Love we love you
On peut traverser la mer, voler autour de la Terre
Courir l'aventure, chercher de l'or
On peut quitter sa patrie
Refaire son nez et sa vie
Il nous faut l'amour d'abord
Amour, on t'aime, mieux que nous-mêmes
Mieux que l'argent, la politique et les chansons
Et quand bien même tu nous enchaînes
On a l'cœur qui bat comme les ailes d'un papillon
On peut croire au fantastique
Avoir des goûts éclectiques
Penser Rossini ou Travolta
On peut faire de la vitesse, du yoga ou du business
Sans amour, ce n'est pas ça
Amour, on t'aime, malgré nous-mêmes
Tu nous balances comme des voiliers aux quatre vents
Et quand bien même, tu tiens les rênes
On se sent libre et l'on plane comme des goélands
Amour, on t'aime, malgré nous-mêmes
Tu nous entraînes comme des poissons dans l'océan
Pourtant on aime, comme tu nous mènes
C'est un peu fou, mais on ne peut vivre autrement
Amour, on t'aime, mieux que nous-mêmes
Mieux que l'argent, la politique et les chansons
Amour, on t'aime, amour en s'aime
On a les yeux tout pleins de rire et de lampions
On a l'cœur qui bat comme les ailes d'un papillon

Softly Whispering I Love You
Softly Whispering I Love You
Composer(s): Roger Cook - Roger Greenaway
Performer(s): Paul Young
and multiple other artists
Softly, whispering I love you
echoes of your voice are calling still through my dreams
softening the chill of the breeze
Through my window
I can see the moonglow
painting silver shadows on a rose-colored land
A world that we walk hand in hand
in a day of gold
colored by the glow of new love
Oh, Woman, I can feel your warm face ever close to my lips
and the scent of you invades the cool evening air
I can close my eyes and you´re there in my arms still
and I know your soft kiss
turning into music every beat of my heart
When I hold you close to my heart
and I hear your voice
whispering I love you

Pretty Kitty Blue Eyes
Pretty Kitty Blue Eyes
Performer(s): The Merry Macs
When she walks along
On the street fellows shout
"Here, pretty Kitty
Here pretty Kitty blue eyes"
You can hear 'em shout
Every time she goes out
"Here, pretty Kitty
Here pretty Kitty blue eyes"
But she looks at no boy
She's lonely in New York
'Cause she loves a doughboy
Named Johnny O'Rourke
That's why she'll never
Hear anyone till he'll shout
"I'm here, pretty Kitty
Here pretty Kitty blue eyes"

Nuku Pommiin
Nuku Pommiin
First performance by: Kojo - 1982
Jos joku nakkaa ydinkakkaa kohta tänne Eurooppaamme
Niin mitä haastat, kun kaikki saastat sieltä kasvoillemme saamme
Jos joku viskaa pommin niskaan, niin sä tuskin huomaatkaan
(Nuku tuuti, aa... aa... aa... tuuti)
(Nuku tuuti, aa... aa... aa... tuuti)
(Nuku tuuti, aa... aa... aa... tuuti)
(Nuku tuuti, aa... aa... aa... tuuti)
Pommiin, pommiin, nuku pommiin, niin on helpompaa
Nuku pom, nuku pom, nuku pommiin, se rauhoittaa
Liian kauan haaveillen nukuit alla taivaiden
Tukkaasi raastat vaan, käy neuvottelemaan
(Nuku tuuti, aa... aa... aa... tuuti)
(Nuku tuuti, aa... aa... aa... tuuti)
Ja nuku pommiin, pommiin, nuku pommiin, niin on helpompaa
Nuku pom, nuku pom, nuku pommiin, se rauhoittaa
Nyt jengi istuu, osallistuu neuvotteluseurantaan
Tieteen aivot ja toisten raivot, punoo salajuoniaan
Jos et sä herää tällä erää, niin et herää ollenkaan
(Nuku tuuti, aa... aa... aa... tuuti)
(Nuku tuuti, aa... aa... aa... tuuti)
(Nuku tuuti, aa... aa... aa... tuuti)
(Nuku tuuti, aa... aa... aa... tuuti)
Nuku pommiin, pommiin, nuku pommiin, niin on helpompaa
Nuku pom, nuku pom, nuku pommiin, se rauhoittaa
Pommiin, pommiin, nuku pommiin, niin on helpompaa
Nuku pom, nuku pom, nuku pommiin, se rauhoittaa

Pretty Irish Girl
Pretty Irish Girl
Composer(s): Lawrence Edward Watkin; Oliver Wallace
Performer(s): Sean Connery;
and various other artists
Have you ever seen the seagulls
A-flyin' o'er the heather
Or the crimson sails on Galway Bay
The fishermen unfurl
Oh, the earth is filled with beauty
And its gathered all together
In the form and face and dainty grace
Of a pretty Irish girl
Oh, she's my dear, my darlin' one
Her eyes so sparklin' full of fun
No other, no other
Can match the likes of her
She's my dear, my darlin' one
My smilin' and beguilin' one
I love the ground she walks upon
My pretty Irish girl
Have you ever seen the morning in
Kerry and Killarny
When the dew is on the hayrick
And ev'ry drop a pearl
When the geese are full of blarney
And the thrush is singing Gaelic
And standing in the doorway
Is a Pretty Irish Girl
Oh, she's my dear, my darlin' one
Her eyes so sparklin' full of fun
No other, no other
Can match the likes of her
She's my dear my darlin' one
My smilin' and beguilin' one
I love the ground she walks upon
My pretty Irish girl
When I'm parted from my darlin'
My sighs would sail a schooner
And when I cannot reach her, sure
My tears would turn a mill
Since she cannot be unkind
To any helpless creature
I think that I will marry me
A pretty Irish Girl
Oh, she's my dear, my darlin' one
Her eyes so sparklin' full of fun
No other, no other
Can match the likes of her
She's my dear my darlin' one
My smilin' and beguilin' one
I love the ground she walks upon
My pretty Irish girl

Softly As I Leave You
Softly As I Leave You
(Adapted from: Piano - 1960)
Composer(s): Antonio DeVita - Giorgio Calabrese - Hal Shaper
Performer(s): Matt Monro - 1962
and multiple other artists
Softly, I will leave you softly
For my heart would break
if you should wake and see me go
So I leave you softly
long before you miss me
Long before your arms can beg me stay
For one more hour
or one more day
After all the years, I can't bear the tears to fall
So, softly as I leave you there
Softly, long before you kiss me
Long before your arms can beg me stay
For one more hour
or one more day
After all the years
I can't bear the tears to fall
So, softly as I leave you there
As I leave I you there
As I leave I you there

Pretty Girl
Pretty Girl
Performer(s): Hogsnort Rupert's Original Flagon Band
The other day as I made my way
I heard the music start to play
Happy sound, people all around
I knew that I was here to stay
Suddenly, by the tree, goodness me...
Chorus:
Pretty girl, can I take you home
On a bright and sunny morning?
We danced all night in the pale moonlight
And now the day is dawning
She worked all week in a disco-teek
She looked at me but she didn't speak
The beat was good, and I knew I should
Have brought an extra pair of feet
What a day, so I say, hip-hooray!...
Chorus
"Come on, my lover, give us a kiss!"
(Boom boom boom boom)
Chorus
I had to weep, 'cause I had to keep
On dancing in a tired heap
The only sound was the aching ground
The band had all gone home to sleep
Day had come, gone the sun, oh what fun.....
Chorus x2

One Step Further
One Step Further
Composer(s): Simon Jefferies
First performance by: Bardo - 1982
One step further and I would have been there
Can't seem to get your attention no matter how I try
I just want you to prefer me to the other guys
So when you looked at me, you only turned away
So I walked up beside you
But I forgot all the things that I planned to say
I don't know if I tried to
I could have taken one step further
And I would have been there
You could have turned around
And hit me and I wouldn't have cared
All this time I didn't get anywhere
I could have taken one step further
And I would have been there
Ain't got the courage to speak when you're sometimes near
Well I can't seem to think of the things that a girl likes to hear
But when I saw you again, you were all alone
So I walked up beside you
But I was too shy to even ask you home
I don't know if I tried to
I could have taken one step further
And I would have been there
You could have turned around
And hit me and I wouldn't have cared
All this time I didn't get anywhere
I could have taken one step further
And I would have been there
If you read my letters or my telegrams
You'd have got around to asking me just who I am
'Cause you know I'm gonna get ya
I'm gonna get ya, I'm gonna get ya
One step further and I would have been there
You could have turned around
And hit me and I wouldn't have cared
All this time I didn't get anywhere
I could have taken one step further
And I would have been...
One step further and I would have been there
You could have turned around
And hit me and I wouldn't have cared
All this time I didn't get anywhere
One step further and I would have been there
You could have turned around
And hit me and I wouldn't have cared
All this time I didn't get anywhere
I could have taken one step further
And I would have been...
(One step further and I would have been there)
I could have tooken one step further
(One step further and I would've been there)
One step, one step

Pretty Folks
Pretty Folks
Performer(s): Nash The Slash
The sidewalk surface was dancing with tricks
In mad whirling circles they look for kicks
They book each other like drugs do their blood
And draw trumps and tramps when they're playing stud
And they're pretty folks, pretty folks bending the trend
Pretty folks, pretty folks, they'll never mend
Splitting their cells, looking for pills
They blow their change and they don't pay their bills
Modified modular spandex decay
Flocks of flash zeros with nothing to say
Chorus
In funhouse mirrors they don't seem to age
As they decompose in memory's cage
But total loss is not something to hide
When the last big sleep has started inside
Chorus

Softly
Softly
Composer(s): Neal Schon - Bob Marlette - Gregg Rolie - Glen Burtnik
Performer(s): Neal Schon
Soon the sun will shine into this window
Find your body laying next to mine
The world outside will wake up all around us
So kiss me while there's still a little time
It gives me the strength to face another day
When I hold you in my arms
(Softly)
When I hear you call my name
(Softly)
The tears fall, the tears fall like gentle rain
(Softly)
Softly in the morning light
(Softly)
You touch me and it feels so right
When the day dissolves into darkness
Nightfalls as far as you can see
Then I'll try to leave behind the madness
Once again you will come to me
It gives me the strength to know you belong to me
Give me all of your love
(Softly)
When I hear you call my name
(Softly)
The tears fall like gentle rain
(Softly)
Softly in the candlelight
(Softly)
You touch me and it feels so right
(Softly)
When I hear you call my name
(Softly)
The tears fall like gentle rain
(Softly)
Softly in the candlelight
(Softly)
We're deep in love forever
(Softly)
We're deep in love
(Softly)...

Pretty Flamingo
Pretty Flamingo
Composer(s): Mark Barkan
Performer(s): Manfred Mann;
and various other artists
On our block all of the guys call her flamingo
'Cause her hair glows like the sun
And her eyes can light the sky
When she walks she moves so fine like a flamingo
Crimson dress that clings so tight
She's out of reach and out of sight
When she walks by she brightens up the neighbourhood
Oh every guy would make her his if he just could
If she just would
Some sweet day I'll make her mine pretty flamingo
Then every guy will envy me
'Cause paradise is where I'll be
Pretty flamingo
Pretty flamingo
When she walks by she brightens up the neighbourhood
Oh every guy would make her his if he just could ha
If she just would
Some sweet day I'll make her mine pretty flamingo
Then every guy will envy me
'Cause paradise is where I'll be
Sha la la, la la la la

Adieu
Adieu
Composer(s): Jahn Teigen - Herodes Falsk
First performance by: Jahn Teigen & Anita Skorgan - 1982
Si meg, hva betyr adieu?
Er det bare trist, no' som sårer deg?
Tro meg, vi skal ta adieu
Ikke sånn som sist, da jeg gikk fra deg
Jeg vil alltid huske deg som en venn
Om vi aldri mere ses igjen
Vi har våre minner, de vil aldri dø
Nå er tiden inne til å si adieu
Si meg, hva betyr adieu?
Kan det ha verdi om alt er forbi?
Tro meg, vi skal ta adieu
Vise kjærlighet om vi skilles helt
Jeg vil alltid huske deg som en venn
Om vi aldri mere ses igjen
Vi har våre minner, de vil aldri dø
Nå er tiden inne til å si adieu
Adieu
