Olé


Olé
Composer(s): Pedro del Moral;
David Ferrero; Miguel Gallardo
Performer(s): Azucar Moreno



Dame los perfumes de sus calles y sus flores
y la luz de sus mañanas, acuarela de colores
Dame sus ritmos calientes cuando suenan sus guitarras
y el repique de un gitano cuando está tocando palmas

Dame la alegría de mi Tierra Santa
y ese "angel" de mi gente cuando el corazón les canta y dicen
Olé, olé, olé, olá
Mi tierra tiene una gracia que no se pude aguantar

Dame sus sabores a fritura y manzanilla
y sus fiestas populares que son una maravilla
Dame su belleza hecha de mil razas
y el valor de sus toreros cuando salen a la plaza

Dame la alegría de mi Tierra Santa
y ese "angel" de mi gente cuando el corazón les canta y dicen
Olé, olé, olé, olá
no hay piropo más bonito que te puedan regalar
Y dicen
Olé, olé, olé, olá
Mi tierra tiene una gracia que no se pude aguantar

Lléname los ojos de su cielo azul turquesa
y la magia de su luna que te embruja y que te besa
Llévame a caballo por marismas y caminos
a ofrecerle mi cariño a la Virgen del Rocío

Dame la alegría de mi Tierra Santa
y ese "angel" de mi gente cuando el corazón les canta y dicen
Olé, olé, olé, olá
Es el grito de mi gente cuando quiere de verdad
Y dicen
Olé, olé, olé, olá
Mi tierra tiene una gracia que no se pude aguantar

Olé, olé, olé, olá
no hay piropo más bonito que te puedan regalar
Y dicen
Olé, olé, olé, olá
Mi tierra tiene una gracia que no se pude aguantar.

..Olé, olé, olé, olá... (BIS)
..Olé, olé, olé, olá...
..Olé, olé...

Olé, olé, olé, olá
Es el grito de mi gente cuando quiere de verdad

Olé-olé, olé-olá
Mi tierra tiene una gracia que no se pude aguantar

Olé, olé, olé, olá
no hay piropo más bonito que te puedan regalar
Y dicen
Olé-olé, olé-olá
Mi tierra tiene una gracia que no se pude aguantar

May I Have The Next Dream With You


May I Have The Next Dream With You
Composer(s): Charles Tobias; Harry Tobias; Henry Tobias
Performer(s): Malcolm Roberts;
Joanie Bartels; Sydney Devine



May I have the next dream with you, dear?
Just a dream between us two
Who’d think that someday, somewhere, in some way
I’d meet a dream like you

Close your eyes and put your arms around me
You’d be surprised what love can do
So may I have the next dream with you?
And may it last the whole night through

(Repeat)

Oldie But Goodie


Oldie But Goodie
Composer(s): Claude Moine; M. Gaucher
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



Quand t'auras tes dix-neuf ans
J'serai plus blond comme avant
Fini l'Odyssée d'l'Espace
Deux mille un impair et passe
Tu viendras me demander
Pourquoi, comment t'es née
Je te parlerai d'amour
Que le temps m'paraît court
J'fais pas dans la nostalgie
J'veux pas r'faire le monde, la vie
J'dis tout même si tu souris
J'suis p't'être oldie but goodie
Goodie goodie
Moi j'ai fait mal à ma mère
Pas d'études secondaires
Vers quinze ans j'suis parti
M'balader dans ma vie
Et de décalages horaires
De tournées en galas galères
Dancings et salles des fêtes
J'confonds tout dans ma tête
J'fais pas dans la nostalgie
J'oublie pas c'que j'ai appris
Celle que j'aime comprend c'que j'dis
J'suis p't'être oldie but goodie
Goodie goodie
J'fais pas dans la nostalgie
J'suis p't'être oldie but goodie
J'oublie pas c'que j'ai appris
J'suis p't'être oldie but goodie
Celle que j'aime comprend c'que j'dis
J'suis p't'être oldie but goodie
J'fais pas dans la nostalgie
J'suis p't'être oldie but goodie

May I Drop A Petal In Your Glass Of Wine


May I Drop A Petal In Your Glass Of Wine
Composer(s): Mack Gordan; Harry Revel



May I drop a petal in your glass of wine?
It will make your life a song
When I drop a petal in your glass of wine
Lady Luck will come along
Her face will dance in your champagne
Your heart will dance like bubbles in the rain

May I drop a petal in your glass of wine?
To bring out the blue above
For you'll find a petal in your glass of wine
Will show the way to love
You'll know the time is right
You'll know tonight's the time to say be mine
When I drop this petal in your glass of wine

Old-Fashion Love


Old-Fashion Love
Composer(s): Milan Williams
Performer(s): The Commodores



I'm in love with a plain old-fashion girl
She's the most beautiful person in the world

Her smile is so warm and her eyes burn so deep, ah, yeah
Softly in rhymes of love she sings to me
{Love is for love} Oh {But only if it's meant to be}
Only if it's meant to be, baby

Yeah, hea, hea, I-I-I-I

I'm in love with a plain and simple girl
She takes my heart and sends me for a whirl
I'm on the wings of love and I don't take care where I go
Because when we reach that star we both will know
{Love is for love} Ooh {And our love was meant to be}
Our love was meant to be, baby, ooh

I want some lovin' tonight
Some old-fashion love, baby
I know that you do it right
Do it, do it, do it to it, baby

I want some lovin' tonight
Some old-fashion love, baby
I know that you do, do
Do it, do it, do it right, baby

I want (Ow), gimme, gimme, gimme (Whoa)
I want (Oh, girl) some old-fashion love, baby

Do it, do it, do it (Some old-fashion love, baby)

I want (Ow), gimme, gimme, gimme (Whoa)
I want (Oh, girl) some old-fashion love, baby
I want (Oh, say it), gimme, gimme, gimme (Whoa)
I want (Oh, girl) some old-fashion love, baby

Oh, yeah
Ah., yeah
Oh, yeah
Ah, yeah

Do it, do it, do it

I want (Ow), gimme, gimme, gimme (Whoa)
I want (Oh, girl) some old-fashion love, baby

May I Baby


May I Baby
Composer(s): Isaac Hayes; David Porter
Originally performed by: Sam & Dave



May I, baby, hmmmm walk you home?
May I, baby, because I don't want you to be all alone, no
Now listen here, with each step my heart beats 3 times
Because there's so much trouble in my little mind

May I, baby, come and tell you what it's all about?
May I, baby, I hope you're itchin' to find out
Listen, I'm just a little boy, live behind a grocery store
I've been watchin' you come and go now
May I, baby?
Can I, honey, tell you how I feel?

I love the ground you walk on, yes I do
Oh I beg you and nobody else
You brighten up; look here, listen to what I'm saying
"Why, she's been through the same thing herself"

May I, baby, give my little heart to you?
May I, baby, you can do anything you want to do
Tell me baby, may I, baby?
May I, baby? ...

Old 30


Old 30
Composer(s): Bill Fries; Chip Davis
Performer(s): C.W. McCall



She was mud and sand and concrete
Mixed with water made of tears
From the rivers runnin' down the great divide
She was three thousand miles
Of rockin' rollin' highway
A million memories long and two lanes wide

Far across the wide Missouri
To the old Wyoming line
From the Jersey shore to San Francisco Bay
She was know to all the truckers
As the mighty Lincoln Highway
But to me she's still Old Thirty all the way

Now the interstate goes sreamin'
Through the backyard of her life
But it just don't send those shivers down my spine
So before I take that exit
To the highway in the sky
I'm gonna take Old Thirty one more time

She was radiators boilin'
In the burnin' summer sun
And a blizzard blowin' wild across the plains
She was tumbleweeds a rollin'
In the gentle winds of Fall
And the lights of old Grand Island in the rain

She was mud and sand and concrete
Mixed with water made of tears
From the rivers runnin' down the great divide
She was three thousand miles
Of rockin' rollin' highway
A million memories long and two lanes wide

Now the interstate goes sreamin'
Through the backyard of her life
But it just don't send those shivers down my spine
So before I take that exit
To the highway in the sky
I'm gonna take Old Thirty one more time

One more time...

May I


May I
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot



Finders, keepers, losers, weepers
Ring around the rosy and I’ll catch you if I can
And if you don’t say may I, then you’ll have to start again
But first you must indulge me and count from one to ten
Let the game begin
I adore you when you touch me
Pin the tail upon the donkey, you will surely win
And if you don’t say may I, then I’ll pass the cake around
And I won’t give you any, but you won’t make a sound
You don’t eat soap, anyhow

Red light, green light, blue light, yellow light
You can take three giant steps or a baby step will do
But if you don’t say may I, then I’ll march you out the door
Where you’ll be contemplating the numbers one to four
I hope you’re keeping score

'Cause if you don’t say may I, then I’ll get you with the hose
And spoil your sunday clothes will it please you if I tease you
While you’re at the spindry, I’ll pass the pie around
But you won’t make a sound
You don’t eat blackbird anyhow

There’s four and twenty reasons why it can’t be wrong
How long have you been gone
Finders, keepers, losers, weepers
Peter, peter, pumpkin eater
Wear your sneakers around sound sleepers

Old Tennessee


Old Tennessee
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg; Fools Gold



End of October
The sleepy brown woods seem to
Nod down their heads to the Winter
Yellows and grays
Paint the sad skies today
And I wonder when
You're coming home

Woke up one morning
The wind through the window
Reminded me Winter
Was just 'round the bend
Somehow I just didn't
See it was coming
It took me by surprise again

And I hear you're in San Francisco
Living with your sister who's a mother to be
And her husband's way down in Georgia
And I'm still in old Tennessee ...
Wishing you'd come home to me

Life here is easy
I'm sure you recall
How it's so warm and breezy
In the Summer and the Fall
But Winter's upon me
And I've got no heat here
And I miss your fire so sweet, Dear
I miss your fire so sweet

And I hear you're in San Francisco
Living with your sister who's a mother to be
And her husband's way down in Georgia
And I'm still in old Tennessee ...
Wishing you'd come home to me

End of October
The sleepy brown woods seem to
Nod down their heads to the Winter
Yellows and gray
Paint the sad skies today
And I wonder when
You're coming home
I wonder when you're coming home

May Each Day


May Each Day
Composer(s): Mort Green; George Wyle
Performer(s): Andy Williams;
José Carreras; John MacNally; Mantovani



May each day in the week be a good day
May the Lord always watch over you
And may all of your hopes turn to wishes
And may all of your wishes come true

May each day in the month be a good day
May you make friends with each one you meet
And may all of your daydreams be memories
And may all of your memories be sweet

The weeks turn to months and the months into years
There'll be sadness and joy, there'll be laughter and tears
But one thing I pray to heaven above
May each of your days be a day full of love

May each day in the year be a good day
May each dawn find you happy and gay
And may all of your days be as lovely
As the one you shared with me today

May each day of your life be a good day
And good night

Maxwell's Silver Hammer


Maxwell's Silver Hammer
Composer(s): John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
Originally performed by: The Beatles
Covered by various other artists



Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical
science in her home
late nights all alone with a test tube oh oh oh oh
Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine
calls her on the phone
can I take you out to the pictures Joan
but as she's getting ready to go
a knock comes on her door

chorus

Bang bang Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head
bang bang maxwells silver hammer made sure that she was dead

Back at school again, Maxwell plays the fool again
teacher gets annoyed
wishing to avoid an unpleasant scene
she tells Max to stay when the class has gone away
so he waits behind
writing 50 times I must not be so oh oh oh
but when she turns her back on the boy
he creeps up from behind

chorus

PC 31, said we caught a dirty one
Maxwell stands alone
painting testimonial pictures oh oh oh oh
Rose and Valerie, sreaming from the gallery
say he must go free {Maxwell must go free}
the judge does not agree and he tells them so oh oh oh
but as the words are leaving his lips
a noise comes from behind

chorus {with he, substituted for her}

Old Shep


Old Shep
Composer(s): Red Foley; Willis Arthur
Performer(s): Red Foley;
and various other artists



When I was a lad and Old Shep was a pup
O'er hills and meadows we'd stray
Just a boy and his dog, we were both full of fun
We grew up together that way

I remember the time at the old swimmin' hole
When I would've drowned beyond doubt
Shep was right there, to the rescue he came
He jumped in and helped pulled me out

So the years fed along and at last he grew old
His eyesight was fast growin' dim
Then one day the doctor looked at me and said
"I can't do no more for him, Jim"

With a hand that was trembling I picked up my gun
I aimed it at Shep's faithful head
I just couldn't do it, I wanted to run
And I wished that they'd shoot me instead

I went to his side and I sat on the ground
He laid his head on my knee
I stroked the best pal that a man ever found
I cried so I scarcely could see

Old Sheppie he knew he was going to go
For he reached out and licked at my hand
He looked up at me, just as much as to say
"We're parting, but you understand"

Now Old Shep is gone where the good doggies go
And no more with Old Shep will I roam
But if dogs have a heaven, there's one thing I know
Old Shep has a wonderful home

Maxine


Maxine
Composer(s): Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Donald Fagen;
Mark Murphy; Anthony Wilson



Some say that you're reckless
They say we're much too young
Tell us to stop before we've begun
We've got to hold out till graduation
Try to hang on Maxine

While the world is sleeping
We meet at Lincolon Mall
Talk about life the meaning of it all
Try to make sense of the suburban sprawl
Try to hang on Maxine

Mexico City is like another world
Nice this year they say
You'll my senorita
In jeans and pearls
But first let's get off this high way
(off this high way)

We'll move back to Manhattan
And fill the place with friends
Drive to the coast and drive right back again
One day we'll wake up make love but till then
Try to hang on Maxine

Old Rivers


Old Rivers
Composer(s): Cliff Crofford
Performer(s): Walter Brennan; David Briggs;
Jimmy Dean; Dave Dudley; Marvin Rainwater



How old was I when I first seen old Rivers?
I can't remember when he weren't around
Well, that old fellow did a heap of work
Spent his whole life walking plowed ground

He had a one-room shack not far from us
And well, we was about as poor as him
He had one old mule he called Midnight
And I'd trailed along after them

He used to plow them rows straight and deep
And I'd come along near behind
A-bustin' up clods with my own bare feet
Old Rivers was a friend of mine

That sun'd get high and that mule would work
Till old Rivers'd say, ''Whoa!''
He'd wipe his brow, lean back on the reins
And talk about a place he was gonna go

Chorus:
He'd say, one of these days
I'm gonna climb that mountain
Walk up there amoung the clouds
Where the cotton's high
And the corn's a-growin'
And there ain't no fields to plow

--- Instrumental ---

I got a letter today from the folks back home and
They're all fine and crops is dry
Down at the end my mama said, ''Son
You know old Rivers died''

Just sittin' here now on this new-plowed earth
Trying to find me a little shade
With the sun beating down 'cross the field I see
That mule, old Rivers and me

Chorus:
Now, one of these days
I'm gonna climb that mountain
Walk up there amoung the clouds
Where the cotton's high
And the corn's a-growin'
And there ain't no fields to plow

With the sun beating down 'cross the field I see
That mule, old Rivers and me...

Old Riders In The Grandstand


Old Riders In The Grandstand
Performer(s): Slim Dusty



I'm seated in the grandstand at a big-time rodeo
With my walking stick beside me as I watch the scene below
There are youngon's ridin' outlaws as I did when young and free
And I wonder are there many old ex-riders here like me

The horses they are ridin' couldn't buck to save their hide
Oh I'd like to see these youngon's on the ones I used to ride
I've used the likes of spinifex for a night horse on the run
And brahma bulls like Wadgerra, we rode them just for fun

The saddles they are using are designed to hold you in
And the halter shanks are silky so as not to hurt your skin
We rode in flattened ?Poleans? in the days of long ago
And could have rolled a smoke aboard the likes of Curio

The steers they use for doggin' are no bigger than a calf
And the time they take to throw them make us old timers laugh
We used to scrub big Mickey's twice the size in cattle yards
Oh but that was many years ago way back when times were hard

These youngon's dress so lairy in their fancy cowboy suits
We used to ride in moleskins and a pair of Bluecha boots
But all our glory's vanished, we're forgotten men, it seems
Old riders in the grandstand alone with all our dreams

Maximillian Mouse


Maximillian Mouse
Composer(s): Rolf Harris
Performer(s): Rolf Harris



I am a mouse
called Maximillian Mouse
And I live in my Maximillian...Mouse house
I'm very well bred
I'm pure Castillian mouse
And I come from a long long long long long long line of
Castillian mouses

Ole!

But it always has been perilous
Crossing the arena to the supermarkets
Where I buy my cheese..

It's regularly perilous
When I think of bull-fights
There's a quaking in my knees

I've always had
A taste for colourful things
And this day I was wearing my red cortocaportocontrezbutonizonalado
e sulapa ancocobosiasacadelamanorajo et
plato del toros dressing gown

I must confess I've been in gullible rings
For the bull, when he saw what I wore
Came rushing at me

Ol...
(clear throat)
Ole.

But if you think that because I am small I am puny
You are wrong
I stood my ground
I did not move
I could not move

The picador's horse was standing on my tail
So swiftly I turned and I nipped him in the fetlocks
He was most embarrassed
But for the moment I was free

I pirouette to safety and the bull thunders past me
brrrah
Then, I hear the trumpet call for the death
I have resolved to dispatch Senor Toros with the classic pass of the dead one
The crowd screamed "No, no!" but
I plant my feet firmly, one (stamp), and two (stamp)

(quietly)
Three (stamp), four (stamp)

Then, from ten yards away I called the bull to me
Toros!
He comes rushing towards me!

(bang, crash)

(Smugly)
I tripped him...

I am a mouse
called Maximillian Mouse
And I live in my Maximillian...Mouse house

I'm very well bred
I'm pure Castillian mouse
And I come from a long long long long long long line of
Bull-fighting mouses

Ole!

Old Rattler


Old Rattler
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Grandpa Jones;
and various other artists



Old Rattler was a good old dog
As blind as he could be
Ev'ry night 'bout supper time
I believe that dog could see

Refrain:
Here! Rattler!
Here! Here!
Here! Rattler! Here!
Call old Rattler from the barn
Here! Rattler! Here!

Old Rattler tree'd the other night
And I tho't he'd tree'd a 'coon
When I come to find out
He was barkin' at the moon

Refrain:

Well, grandma had a yeller hen
We set her as you know
We set her on three buzzard eggs
And hatched out one old crow

Refrain:

Grandpa had a muley cow
She was muley when she's born
It took a jaybird forty year
To fly from horn to horn

Refrain:

Now if I had a needle and thread
As fine as I could sew
I'd sew my sweetheart to my back
And down the road I'd go

Refrain:

Old Rattler was a smart old dog
Even tho' he was blind
He wouldn't hurt one single thing
Tho' he was very fine

One night I saw a big fat 'coon
Climb up in a tree
I called old Rattler right away
To get 'im down fer me

But Rattler wouldn't do it
Because he liked that 'coon
I saw them walkin' paw in paw
Later by the light of the moon

Refrain:

Now old Rattler's dead and gone
Like all good dogs do
You better not act a dog yourself
Or you'll be goin' there too

Refrain:
