What Does The Pussycat Mean When She Says "Meow"?
What Does The Pussycat Mean When She Says "Meow"?
Composer(s): Pease; Granlund; Nelson
Performer(s): Margaret Young
I went to school, and then I went to college
Learned every rule, that's how I got my knowledge
But now I'm puzzled, and always up a tree
Won't someone please tell me
What does the pussy cat mean when she says, "Meow"?
What does the little dog mean when he says, "Bow-wow"?
I know that hay means horses
And that marriage means divorces
But what does the pussy cat mean when she says "Meow"?
I know that church means Sunday, and that Friday means a fish
I know that wash means Monday, and a platter means a dish
I know a boy means mister, and a girlie means a miss
When her lip touches his lips, I know it means a kiss
A baby means a rattle; a barrel means a keg
And when a chicken cackles, it means she's laid an egg
I know that green means Irish, and that Irish means a cop
Limburger means a Zeppelin, and spaghetti means a wop
What does the pussy cat mean when she says "Meow"?
What does the little dog mean when he says "Bow-wow"?
I know that Heinz means pickles
And I know a feather tickles
But what does the pussy cat mean when she says, "Meow"?

Afghanistan
Afghanistan
Composer(s): William Wilander - Harry Donnelly
In the land of Afghanistan
There's a Hindu maid and a man
She swore by the stars up above her
That he was the one to love her
But there came another one day
Stole his Hindu maiden away
Hindu man is lonely and blue
In his dreams he's calling to her
All the wealth of Afghanistan
Cannot ease the heart of this man
Tho' the stars with splendor are shining
Hindu's heart can't stop it's pining
Though he's trying hard to forget
He has hopes and dreams of her yet
Thinking that she'll come back some say
To his idol he keeps praying
In Afghanistan
There's a Caravan
By the fair oasis waiting for you and for you only
Cross the desert sand we will find a temple
There will be a bridal day for you my idol
In Afghanistan

Afghan Woman
Afghan Woman
Composer(s): Marc Bolan
Performer(s): Tyrannosaurus Rex
Afghan Woman, deemed a princess
Born a true blue thoroughbred
Head a chiselled face of fables
Omen of no ill
Hills that spread around your chamber
Blooms that twine around your ears
Blossoms of the royalest texture
Angel of the years
Clad in sacks and scraps of linen
Living 'neath your waterwell
Praying that my youthly pauper's face
Will quench you well
Gazelle girl striding through your palace
Precious jewels nestle in your hair
Rameses born with platinum future
Take my heart and care

What Does It Take
What Does It Take
Composer(s): James Van Heusen; Johnny Burke
Performer(s): Nat King Cole
It takes an earthquake to move a mountain
It takes the typhoon to churn up the sea
But what does it take to make you take to me?
It takes a heatwave to melt an iceberg
It takes a blossom to bother a bee
But what does it take to make you take to me?
You could have your way
You could have the moon
Anything you say, only say it soon
When you're around it takes the feather to knock me over
It takes the nitwit to tell you I'm free
Cuz, baby I'm just your humble servant making his fervent plea
What does it take to make you take to me?
You could have your way
You could have the moon
Anything you say, only say it soon
When you're around it takes the feather to knock me over
It takes the nitwit to tell you I'm free
Cuz, baby I'm just your humble servant making his fervent plea
What does it take to make you take to me?

Affida Una Lacrima Al Vento
Affida Una Lacrima Al Vento
((French & German Versions:
Une Larme Aux Nuages (by Salvatore Adamo); Es Geht Eine Träne Auf Reisen (by Salvatore Adamo))
Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Affida una lacrima al vento
e fa che la porti da me
il vento mi ha detto stai attento
la tua bella non pensa più a te
Affida una lacrima al vento
e nel cielo per me brillerà
e com'una pioggia d'argento
il tuo amore mi riporterà
Il vento non mi vuol più parlar di te
piange però non mi vuol dir perché
ma indovino tristi cose
scritte con le spine delle rose
Affida una lacrima al vento
vedrai che di gioia ballerà
da te volerà in un momento
dei miei baci ti coprirà
Affida una lacrima al vento
e nel deserto un fiore spunterà
sarà un miraggio lo sento
ma sarà bello e ci credo già
Affida una lacrima al vento
e fa che la porti da me
il vento mi ha detto stai attento
la tua bella non pensa più a te
la tua bella non pensa più a te
la tua bella non pensa più a te

What Does He Look Like
What Does He Look Like
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Frances Langford
Johnny Doughboy overseas filled with pride and joy
Stopping everyone he meets and shouting "It's a boy"
What does he look like, that boy of mine?
Since the news came I can't get him off my mind
Does he resemble his homely dad?
Does he look like the girl that I left behind?
Bring on the Germans
And bring on the Japs
Bring on the first who you can find
One for the rascal I haven't seen
And one for the girl that I left behind

Affair On 8th Avenue
Affair On 8th Avenue
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot; The Brothers Four
The perfume that she wore was from some little store
On the down side of town
But it lingered on long after she’d gone
I remember it well
And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light
And we came through a doorway somewhere in the night
Her long flowing hair came softly undone
And it lay all around
And she brushed it down as I stood by her side
In the warmth of her love
And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin
And then we played a game only she could win
And she told me a riddle I’ll never forget
Then left with the answer I’ve never found yet
How long, said she, can a moment like this
Belong to someone
What’s wrong, what is right, when to live or to die
We must almost be born
So if you should ask me what secrets I hide
I’m only your lover, don’t make me decide
The perfume that she wore was from some little store
On the down side of town
But it lingered on long after she’d gone
I remember it well
And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin
And then we played a game only she could win
And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light
And we came through a doorway somewhere in the night

What Does A Woman See In A Man?
What Does A Woman See In A Man?
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
Performer(s): Jimmy Webb
He stinks to high heaven, half covered with hair
And grunts just like some old orang-utan
While she smells of clean skin and a trace of jasmine
And speaks like a first rate librarian
His stomach hangs out, there's a hump on his back
He eats like Conan the Barbarian
While she keeps herself trim, and her posture is prim
Her manners are quite cosmopolitan
He laughs like a donkey and farts in the bed
And flips cigarettes in the can
But she always acts nice, with no visible vice
Tell me, what does a woman see in a man?
He hangs out in bars and he tells stupid jokes
And seems to think he's a comedian
But she's clever, polite, stays sober all night
And sips on her one Presbyterian
He drives a gas hog like Attila the Hun
And woe to the luckless pedestrian
While she prefers bikes and bird-watching hikes
And sailing and riding equestrian
He has a name like Duane or Leroy
Hers is Vanessa or Anne
Hers sounds like a song
But Duane is all wrong
Tell me, what does a woman see in a man?
Doesn't she know that she's unique
Doesn't she know that he's just a freak -- of nature
Overbearing, insecure, wanting love but so unsure
Loving her because she's pure
And yet, dreaming of orgies in Vegas or Cannes
He preens and strikes poses Olympian
While she shoulders the cross
And lets him play boss
His nurse and long-suffering Samaritan
He brags about knocking the world on its ass
But oh, when the shit hits the fan
She'll bail him out, she's the one with the clout
Only she knows how humankind ever began
What does a woman see in a man?
What does a woman see in a man?

Affair Of The Heart
Affair Of The Heart
Composer(s): Rick Springfield - Blaise Tosti - Danny Tate
Performer(s): Rick Springfield
Heart in my mouth pluse in my head
Mercury rising into the red
The smell of your skin can light up all the fire in me
I'm hungry to touch I'm eager to please
Out of control and I hand you the keys
Every night I am burning to make love to you
But don't try to tell me you think it's all physical
It goes much deeper than that
You ought to know it's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
Have a little blind faith believe
It's an affair of the heart
When we make love it's a passionate thing
You shudder and shake sink your teeth in my skin
I almost believe you were made to be played by my hands
And you got the power it amazes me still
How you play my emotions with consummate skill
I don't have to look any further than into your eyes
So don't try to tell me you think it's just physical
It goes way deeper than that
You better know it's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
Have a little blind faith believe
It's an affair of the heart
Don't try to tell me you think it's all physical
It goes much deeper than that
You ought to know it's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
You better know it's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
You better know it's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
Baby an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart

What Do You Want With Me?
What Do You Want With Me?
Composer(s): Chad Stuart; Jeremy Clyde
Performer(s): Chad & Jeremy
What do you want with me
Oh baby can't you see
My love and I were happy
Before you came along
And it'll stay that way
'cause I won't let her down
I love her, can't you see
What do you want with me
What do you want with me
Oh baby I can't see
You only wanna break us up
And use me for a time
Then you'll leave me cryin'
I've heard it all before
Your other boys have told me
What do you want with me
A love like ours
Is somethin' else again
She's lovin', she's true
Let me tell you she's not a bit like you
And I'm askin' you a question
What do you want with me
Why don't you let me be
I know it would be easy
To fool around with you
But you should know by now
I've promised to be true
I love her, can't you see
What do you want with me
A love like ours
Is somethin' else again
She's lovin', she's true
Let me tell you she's not a bit like you
And I'm askin' you a question
What do you want with me
Why don't you let me be
I know it would be easy
To fool around with you
But you should know by now
I've promised to be true
I love her, can't you see
What do you want with me
I love her, can't you see
What do you want with me

Aéroplanes
Aéroplanes
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg; Readymade
Marilou se fait des aéroplanes
En repliant des dépliants d'agences de voyages genre Cook
Où l'on peut voir des pin-up à gros seins new-look
Sur fond d'azur de Louisiane
Elle est marrante c'est une fan
Du cap'tain Cook
Elle a sur lui tout un press-book
Aussi sur Tarzan dont elle est folle comme Jane
Je la vois assez l'enlacer et lui de liane en liane
Pousser son cri en volapük
Du coté de Pamanbuk
Et moi Chita le singe qui leur cavale au cul dans la savane
Pauvre idiote tu rêves tu planes
Me traite de fauché de plouc
De minable d'abominable bouc
Qu'importe injures un jour se dissiperont comme volute Gitane

Aerolitos
Aerolitos
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero
Algo te dice ven a éste tiempo nuevo
siempre surge una antigua forma de mirar
Un ritmo que te empuje hasta vibrar unido
a éste hermoso planeta que como tú respira
Con maestros y sin líderes
aerolitos
como aerolitos libres
Por el espacio sin límites
aerolitos
como aerolitos libres
Canto a la gente que se siente cerca
Conozco triunfadores que se saben perdidos
Aprendo del humilde que sin quererlo habla
con la sabiduría antigua de las cosas
Con maestros y sin líderes
aerolitos
como aerolitos libres
Por el espacio sin límites
aerolitos
como aerolitos libres
Algo te dice ven a este tiempo nuevo
Son falsas todas las encrucijadas
El mundo cada día llama recién nacido
y te busca a través de la luz y el sentimiento
Con maestros y sin líderes
aerolitos
como aerolitos libres
Por el espacio sin límites
aerolitos
como aerolitos libres

What Do You Mean By Loving Someone Else (When Your Love Belongs To Me)
What Do You Mean By Loving Someone Else
(When Your Love Belongs To Me)
Composer(s): Sidney D. Mitchell; Archie Gottler
I've been worried all day long
'Cause I know there's something wrong
Tho' I've tried hard to smile
I have known all the while
You're not as true as I've been to you
But before I let you go
Here's one thing I'd like to know
Every time I look at you
I don't know just what to do
I can tell by your eyes are telling me lies
you'll go away and leave me someday
But before we say farewell
There's a thing you'll have to tell
What do you mean by loving somebody else
When your love belongs to me?
I found you when your kisses didn't have the taste
But now they've got the flavor, must they go to waste?
What do you mean by teaching somebody else
All the things you learned from me?
Just because I taught you how to roll your eyes
You don't have to run around and advertise
What do you mean by loving somebody else
When your love belongs to me?

Aeneas Nu
Aeneas Nu
Composer(s): Boudewijn de Groot
Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot
Er was geen eind en geen begin, toen Aeneas werd geboren
En nu ik aan 't zoeken ben, slaan de klokken in de toren
Het verhaal, voor wie 't wil horen, van een eindeloze reis
Een man veegt scherven bij elkaar en metselt zerken in de grond
Ik wandel door dit doodsgevaar, omdat ons huis hier vroeger stond
Maar ik ben vreemd en ongezond op een eindeloze reis
Ik kom misschien aan een station, door schele bedelaars verwacht
De laatste trein ontmoet de zon, de avond valt angstwekkend zacht
En ik ben vreemd en zonder kracht op een eindeloze reis
En als ik vraag waar ik nu ben, staren mensen achter kragen
Daar bestraat ver weg van hen, niemand antwoordt op mijn vragen
Want ik ben vreemd en al vele dagen op een eindeloze reis
En als iemand mij verwacht, kom ik terug en dan zal blijken
Het was nooit zoals ik dacht en het zal er nooit op lijken
Het is vreemd om neer te strijken na een eindeloze reis
