Green Eggs And Ham


Green Eggs And Ham
Performer(s): Weird Al Yankovich



I do not like Green Eggs and Ham
I do not like them
Sam, I am

I do not like them here or there
I do not like them anywhere
I do not like them in a boat
I would not, could not, with a goat

I will not eat them in the rain
I do not like them on a train
I do not like them in a box
I will not eat them with a fox

I do not like them in a house
I would not, could not, with a mouse
I do not like Green Eggs and Ham
I do not like them
Sam, I am

Green Eggs and Ham
Green Eggs and Ham
Don't like Green Eggs and Ham

Teorema


Teorema
Composer(s): José Luis Perales - Miguel Bosé
Performer(s): Miguel Bosé



Que difícil es hablar de amor
sin caer en la definición
sin poder evitar ser pedante o vulgar
señora que quiere de mi?
Ahora bien
por mi no pasa de hoy
lo que le quiero
después de tanto ensayar
pero me empieza a mirar
se me hace un nudo en la voz
me lo hecha todo a perder
me falta valor
Señora es usted
un teorema de amor
un punto de luz
del infinito al dolor
y yo, yo no se que soy
Hay que trabajar, hay que crecer
por la noche tengo que estudiar
y no puedo dormir por que pienso
en usted señora q quiere de mi
Míreme
y deje ya de jugar
que no le voy a pedir
lo que quiere contar
me basta verla llegar
cada mañana puntual
y aunque no me hable yo se
que viene por mi
Señora es usted
un teorema de amor
un punto de luz
del infinito al dolor
y yo solo se que
usted es para mi
un teorema de amor
un punto de luz
del infinito al dolor
y yo, yo no se que soy...

My pretty girl, my pretty girl
I'm always dreaming of you
My pretty girl, my pretty girl
My darling, how I love you
Promise me you will never leave me
Promise me you will never grieve me

Oh, my pretty girl

Please give me just one kiss
Once we've kissed, you won't miss
For your kiss brings such bliss

As we dance cuddle up and please me
As we dance cuddle up and tease me
Oh, my pretty girl

Dance with me through the night
Let my arms hold you tight
And with dawns early light
Let me take you home

As we dance cuddle up and squeze me
As we dance cuddle up and please me
As we dance cuddle up and tease me
Oh, my pretty girl

Cold, daring
No flies on me
Sorry, angel
I must take what I see

Green earrings
I remember
The rings of rare design
I remember
The look in your eyes
I don't mind

Greek medallion
Sparkles when you smile
Sorry, angel
I get hungry like a child

Green earrings
I remember
The rings of rare design
I remember
The look in your eyes
I don't mind

Teo


Teo
Composer(s): Pablo Guerrero - Hilario Camacho
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero



Fue un disparo de tiempo
lo que hizo añicos su canción
su peonza de viento
su caballo de plata o de cartón

Fue un disparo de miedo
cuando vio
un mundo duro y solo
reino del diente y la pistola
Y no
entonces no quiso creer
para no ser como ellos

Caminando entre dunas
para siempre niño, para siempre poeta
Mapas desconocidos
y un sombrero de sombra a la cabeza

Amigo
Teo, amigo
hasta qué hondo llegó
tu asombro y tu desprecio
caminante increíble
de la desolación
Entonces no quiso crecer
para no ser como ellos

My Prayer


My Prayer
Composer(s): Georges Boulanger; Jimmy Kennedy
Originally performed by: Glenn Miller
Covered by various other artists



My prayer is to linger with you
At the end of the day
In a dream that's devine

My prayer is a rapture in blue
With a world far away
And your lips close to mine
Tonight while our hearts are aglow
Oh tell me the words that I'm longing to know

My prayer and the answer you give
May they still be the same
For as long as we live
That you'll always be there
At the end of my prayer

My prayer is to linger with you
At the end of each day
In a dream that's devine

My prayer is a rapture in blue
With a world far away
And your lips close to mine
Tonight while our hearts are aglow
Oh tell me the words that I'm longing to know

My prayer and the answer you give
May they still be the same
For as long as we live
That you'll always be there
At the end of my prayer

Green Dolphin Street


Green Dolphin Street
Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald & Joe Pass



Lover, one lovely day
Love came planning to stay
Green Dolphin Street supplied the setting
The setting for nights beyond forgetting

And through these moments apart
Memories live in my heart
When I recall the love I found on
I could kiss the ground on
Green Dolphin Street

Green Door


Green Door
Composer(s): Bob Davie; Marvin Moore
Performer(s): Shakin' Stevens;
and various other artists



Midnight
One more night without sleepin'
Uuh, Watchin'
Till that mornin' comes creepin'
Green door
What's that secret you're keepin'?

There's an old piano and they play it hot
Behind the Green Door (Green Door)
Don't know what they're doin' but they laugh a lot
Behind the gren door! (Green Door)
Wish they'd let me in so I could find out
What's behind the Green Door! (Green Door)

Knocked once
Tried to tell them I'd been there
Door slammed!
Hospitality's thin there
Wonder
Just what's going on in there

Saw an eyeball peepin' through a smoky cloud
Behind the green door (Green Door)
When I said 'Joe sent me' someone laughed out loud
Behind the green door (Uuh Green Door)
All I want to do is join the happy crowd
Behind the green door! (Green Door)

Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out


Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
First release by: Bruce Springsteen - 1975



Tear drops on the city
Bad Scooter searching for his groove
Seem like the whole world walking pretty
And you can't find the room to move
Well everybody better move over, that's all
I'm running on the bad side
And I got my back to the wall
Tenth Avenue freeze-out, Tenth Avenue freeze-out

I'm stranded in the jungle
Taking all the heat they was giving
The night is dark but the sidewalk's bright
And lined with the light of the living
From a tenement window a transistor blasts
Turn around the corner things got real quiet real fast
She hit me with a Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Tenth Avenue freeze-out
And I'm all alone, I'm all alone
And kid you better get the picture
And I'm on my own, I'm on my own
And I can't go home

When the change was made uptown
And the Big Man joined the band
From the coastline to the city
All the little pretties raise their hands
I'm gonna sit back right easy and laugh
When Scooter and the Big Man bust this city in half
With a Tenth Avenue freeze-out, Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Tenth Avenue freeze-out...

Un'estate Fa


Un'estate Fa
Dutch & French Titles:
Zoals Een Mooi Verhaal; Un Beau Roman; Une Belle Histoire
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë; Michel Fugain; F. Califano
Performer(s): Mina
and various other artists
(Originally performed by: Michel Fugain)



Un'estate fa la storia di noi due
era un pò come una favola
ma l'estate va e porta via con sè
anche il meglio delle favole
La tua strada è là ma ci dividerà
la mia strada della vacanza
segnerà la tua lontananza
Un'estate fa non c'eri che tu
ma l'estate somiglia a un gioco
è stupenda ma dura poco
Torno a casa mia e torni pure tu
sono cose che succedono
un'estate in più che mi regalerà
un autunno malinconico senza te
E finice qui la storia di noi due
due amanti che si perdono
Un'estate fa la storia di noi due
era un pò come una favola

Green Acres


Green Acres
Composer(s): Victor Mizzy
Performer(s): Flatt & Scruggs; and various other artists



Green acres is the place for me
Farm livin’ is the life for me
Land spreadin’ out so far and wide
Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside

New York is where I’d rather stay
I get allergic smelling hay
I just adore a penthouse view
Dah-ling I love you but give me Park Avenue

The chores
The stores
Fresh air
Times Square

You are my wife
Good bye, city life
Green Acres we are there!

Tenterfield Saddler


Tenterfield Saddler
Composer(s): Peter Alan
Performer(s): Peter Alan; Olivia Newton-John; Todd McKenny



The late George Woolnough
Worked on High Street and lived on Manners
Fifty two years he sat on his verandah
And made his saddles
And if you had questions about sheep, or flowers or dogs
You'd just ask the saddler, who lived without sin
They're building a library for him

Time is a traveller, Tenterfield Saddler
Turn your head
Ride again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead

The son of George Woolnough
Went off and got married and had a way baby
Something was wrong and it's easier to drink then go crazy
And if there were questions about why the end was so sad
Well George had no answers about why a son
Ever has need of a gun

Time is a traveller, Tenterfield Saddler
Turn your head
Ride again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead

The Grandson of George has been all round the world
And lives no special place
Changed his last name and he married a girl
With an interesting face
He'd almost forgotten them both
Because in the life that he leads
There's nowhere for George and his library
Or the son with his gun to belong
Except in this song

Time is a traveller, Tenterfield Saddler
Turn your head
Ride again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead

Oh time is a meddler, Tenterfield Saddler
Make your bed
Fly away cockatoo, down on the ground emu up ahead

Oh time is a traveller, Tenterfield Saddler
Turn your head
Fly away cockatoo, down on the ground emu up ahead

My Pony Boy


My Pony Boy
Composer(s): Charlie O'Donnell; Bobbie Heath
Performer(s): Lillian Lorraine



Way out west, in a nest from the rest dwelt the bestest little Bronco Boy
He could ride, he could glide o'er the prairies like an arrow
Every maid in the glade was afraid he would trade his little heart away
So each little peach made a nice little speech of love to him

Pony Boy, Pony Boy, won't you be my Tony Boy?
Don't say no, here we go off across the plains
Marry me, carry me right away with you
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, whoa!
My Pony Boy

Till one day, out that way, so they say, came to stay a fluffy ruffle girl
She made eyes, she surprised, and he found his heart was lassoed
When he thought he was caught, how he fought, but she taught this pony boy to love
But he balked when she talked of a trip to New York, so she sang to him

Pony Boy, Pony Boy, won't you be my Tony Boy?
Don't say no, here we go off across the plains
Marry me, carry me right away with you
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, whoa!
My Pony Boy

Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, whooooooa!
My Pony Boy

Great Speckled Bird


Great Speckled Bird
Composer(s): Roy Carter; Guy Smith
Performer(s): Roy Acuff;
and various other artists



What a beautiful thought I am thinking
Concerning a great speckled bird
Remember her name is recorded
On the pages of God's Holy Word

All the other birds are flocking 'round her
And she is despised by the squad
But the great speckled bird in the Bible
Is one with the great church of God

All the other churches are against her
They envy her glory and fame
They hate her because she is chosen
And has not denied Jesus' name

Desiring to lower her standard
They watch every move that she makes
They long to find fault with her teachings
But really they find no mistake

She is spreading her wings for a journey
She's going to leave by and by
When the trumpet shall sound in the morning
She'll rise and go up in the sky

In the presence of all her despisers
With a song never uttered before
She will rise and be gone in a moment
Till the great tribulation is o'er

I am glad I have learned of her meekness
I am proud that my name is on her book
For I want to be one never fearing
The face of my Savior to look

When He cometh descending from heaven
On the cloud that He writes in His Word
I'll be joyfully carried to meet Him
On the wings of that great speckled bird

Tentando A Diana


Tentando A Diana
Composer(s): Miguel Mateos - Alejadro Mateos
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos



Ella dijo que no
volvió a casa sin llorar
él le pidió perdón
mandó rosas
en signo de paz

A ella no le alcanzó
y los dos se dejaron de ver
pasado un mes
escuchar su voz
en el contestador
el mismo mensaje
una y otra vez
solo el cielo sabe que pasó
y es que algo esta
y es que algo esta
Ah! Tentando a Diana
Ah! Tentando a Diana

Ella dijo que si
y propuso
hora y lugar
él se porto muy bien
y lo hicieron sin hablar
jóvenes cuerpos
en la fábula del amor

Volvió a casa
Subió corriendo a su habitación
mamá y papá no la vieron llegar
y ella guardó su secreto en el mar
una generación mas
Ah! Tentando a Diana
Ah! Tentando a Diana

Ah! Tentando a Diana
Ah! Tentando a Diana

Une Belle Histoire


Une Belle Histoire (aka Un beau roman)
Dutch & Italian Titles:
Zoals Een Mooi Verhaal; Un'estate Fa
Composer(s): Michel Fugain; Pierre Delanoë
Originally performed by: Michel Fugain
Covered by various other artists



C'est un beau roman, c'est une belle histoire
C'est une romance d'aujourd'hui
Il rentrait chez lui là-haut vers le brouillard
Elle descendait dans le midi, le midi
Ils se sont trouvés au bord du chemin
Sur l'autoroute des vacances
C'était sans doute un jour de chance
Ils avaient le ciel à portée de main
Un cadeau de la providence
Alors pourquoi penser au lendemain

Ils se sont cachés dans un grand champ de blé
Se laissant porter par les courants
Se sont racontés leurs vies qui commençaient
Ils n'étaient encore que des enfants, des enfants
Qui s'étaient trouvés au bord du chemin
Sur l'autoroute des vacances
C'était sans doute un jour de chance
Qui cueillir le ciel aux creux de leurs mains
Comme on cueille la providence
Refusant de penser au lendemain

C'est un beau roman, c'est une belle histoire
C'est une romance d'aujourd'hui
Il rentrait chez lui là-haut vers le brouillard
Elle descendait dans le midi, le midi
Ils se sont quittés au bord du matin
Sur l'autoroute des vacances
C'était fini le jour de chance
Ils reprirent alors chacun leur chemin
Saluèrent la providence en se faisant un signe de la main

Il rentra chez lui là-haut vers le brouillard
Elle est descendue là-bas dans le midi
C'est un beau roman, c'est une belle histoire
C'est une romance d'aujourd'hui

Great Mid-West


Great Mid-West
Composer(s): John Cougar
Performer(s): John Cougar



Everything is slower here, everybody's got a union card
They get up on Sunday and go to church of their choice
Come back home cook out in the backyard

And they call this the Great Midwest
Where the cornfields row and flow
They're all 5 years ahead of their time
Or 25 behind, I just don't know

All the young men talk about their 4 wheel drives
And how much money they're gonna make on Friday night
And, they like to brag about how they mistreat their girlfriends
Hey, let's get drunk, party it up, start a fight

And they call this the Great Midwest
Sure make a hell of a car
And the old hearts, they race their way through the night
The upheaval of who they really are

Growin' up under normal conditions, television and radio
That's just about all of this whole world
That any of us get to see, get to know

And they call this the Great Midwest
Where you sacrifice your body and soul
And no one really wants to get even
Most of us find it hard enough just lettin' go

Don't get me wrong I ain't complaining
I ain't braggin' nor do I mean to place blame
That's just the way things are around here
And there's a future carryin' my name on it
Sayin' hey man, you gonna stick around here you better get on it
If you're gonna stick around here you better make yourself some real good friends

Well I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth
So I can't talk about the big city life
But if you wanna talk about bein' bored and runnin'
Away from yourself, hell I talk to you all night

And they call this the Great Midwest
Where livin' is just gettin' by
And people trade in their happiness
For a smokestack, a big money deal in the sky

Tennessee Wig Walk


Tennessee Wig Walk Composer(s): Larry Coleman - Norman Gimbel Performer(s): Bonnie Lou; Dan Zanes



I’m a bow-legged chicken, I’m a knock kneed hen Never been so happy since I don’t know when I walk with a wiggle and a giggle and a squawk Doing the Tennessee wig walk To a tune on the fiddle on a hardwood floor Though I’m broke and weary and my back is sore I walk with a wiggle and a giggle and a squawk Doing the Tennessee wig walk Put your toes together, your knees apart Bend your back, get ready to start Flap your elbows just for luck Then you wiggle and you waddle like a baby duck Come and dance with me honey, tap your toes and glide And we’ll always be together side by side I walk with a wiggle and a giggle and a squawk Doing the Tennessee wig walk I’m a bow-legged chicken, I’m a knock kneed hen Never been so happy since I don’t know when I walk with a wiggle and a giggle and a squawk Doing the Tennessee wig walk To a tune on the fiddle on a hardwood floor Though I’m broke and weary and my back is sore I walk with a wiggle and a giggle and a squawk Doing the Tennessee wig walk Put your toes together, your knees apart Bend your back, get ready to start Flap your elbows just for luck Then you wiggle and you waddle like a baby duck Come and dance with me honey, tap your toes and glide And we’ll always be together side by side I walk with a wiggle and a giggle and a squawk Doing the Tennessee wig walk

Dat Afgezaagde Zinnetje


Dat Afgezaagde Zinnetje ((aka Een Dom Compliment (Jo Vally & Vanessa Chinitor) - 2003; Zoiets Onnozels (Willy Sommers, Lisa Del Bo & Luc Steeno) - 2003)) ((Adapted from: Something Stupid (Carson and Gaile) - 1967)) Composer(s): C. Carson Parks - Jack Bulterman Performer(s): Willy Alberti & Willeke Alberti - 1967

Versions In Other Languages: 1967 - Ces Mots Stupides (Sacha Distel & Joanna Shimkus) 1967 - Qualche Stupido "Ti Amo" (Sacha Distel & Joanna Shimkus) 1967 - En Lille Dumhed (Siw Malmkvist & Otto Brandenburg) 1971 - Algo Tonto (Enríque Guzmn & Silvia Pinal)



Ik zoek naar mooie zinnen, over liefde en beminnen
Als ik denk aan jou
Ik droom van blauwe zeeen, van de mooiste orchideen
En van eeuwige trouw
Ik maak voor jou gedichten, waar je zeker voor zal zwichten
Als ik ze zeggen zou
Maar dan verberg ik alles met dat afgezaagde zinnetje
"Ik hou van jou"

Op hetzelfde ogenblik, begrijp ik dadelijk vol schrik
Ik heb je droom verstoord
Op het spannendste moment, wanneer je heel dicht bij me bent
Geef ik geen enkel woord

Ik zou heel veel willen zeggen, om je duidelijk uit te leggen
Hoeveel ik droom over jou
Maar alle mooie woorden, die je duizend maal al hoorde
Klinken toch veel te flauw
Hoewel ik het steeds weer probeer, vergeet toch iedere keer
Wat ik je zeggen wou
En dan bederf ik alles met dat afgezaagde zinnetje
"Ik hou van jou"

Lalala

Hoewel ik het steeds weer probeer, vergeet toch iedere keer
Wat ik je zeggen wou
En dan bederf ik alles met dat afgezaagde zinnetje
"Ik hou van jou"

Ik hou van jou
Ik hou van jou
Ik hou van jou
Ik hou van jou

Great Men Repeat Themselves


Great Men Repeat Themselves
Composer(s): Buddy Starcher;
John Hartford; Joe Holcomb; Sheb Wooley
Performer(s): Ben Colder



You've all heard it said that history repeats itself
Did you know that great men repeat themselves also
I repeat myself a lot, repeat myself a lot repeat myself a lot

Do you think that it's a coincidence that the name Lyndon contains six letters
That the name Batman contains six letters also
At batman's side stands the boy wonder, Robin
At Lyndon's side stands the wonder boy Hubey
And the names Robin and Hubey each contain five letters

The names Gotham City and Washington each contain ten letters
The names Mr Robert S. McNamara and Commissioner Gordon
Both contain eighteen letters and that's a bunch of 'em
The names Riddler and Degaule each contain seven letters
That is if you spell Degaule with one L
On the other hand they contain eight letters
If you spell Degaulle with two L's and riddler with three D's

Now Batman's Batmobile is in reality an experimental model Lincoln Continental
And Lyndon's Lincoln Continental is in reality an experimental model Batmoblie
You didn't know that
Behind a cape crusader stands a young bird named Robin
Behind the tall Texan stands a lady crusader named Byrd

There are fifty-two weeks in a year, you knew that
Seven days in a week, add two for the number of beegle hounds in the
family and you get nine
The square root of nine is three
Divide this by a wife and two daughters and you get one
And there is only one Batman
On the other hand you take one and divide by five and you get a fifth
You get a fifth and I'll get a fifth and we'll get on with it

Besides that, the name Superman and Fred Flintstone
Both contain seven, eight, no that's not going to work out
But the name Huckleberry Hound contains sixteen letters all by itself
And that's pretty unusual for a dog don't you think

If you need more proof that great men do repeat themselves
In October 1965 batman said and I quote, "To the Batmoblile Robin"
And in July he said, and I quote again, "To the Batmoblie, Robin"
Of course that was on a re-run
And as farther proof that great men do indeed repeat themselves
Uh, repeat themselves, uh, repeat themselves
