That's Him Over There
That's Him Over There
Composer(s): Marilyn Bergman - Lew Spence
Performer(s): Nina Simone; Peggy Lee
I see your face in this room full of faces
I'm trying hard not to stare
Strange to see you again, here of all places
That's him over there
My baby looks the same as he did when I met him
I'd know that laugh anywhere
It was foolish of me to think I'd forget him
That's him over there
I wish I could be the girl at his side
The one who has taken my place
Can everyone see what I'm trying to hide
Isn't it written all over my face?
I guess that you kow what extremes I have gone to
To prove that I didn't care
You were so anxious to meet the dream I've hung onto
Well, that's him, that's my Jim, over there

Caballero
Caballero
Composer(s): Louis Poterat - Francis López
Performer(s): Georges Guétary; M. Coste Orch.
Un Caballero revient de Grenade!
Un Caballero chante son aubade!
Un Caballero n'est pas un poète!
Un Caballero n'en fait qu'à sa tête!
Mais fais attention toi qui sans façon
Ris d'un air moqueur, ma belle!
Car je peux d'un bond franchir ton balcon
Pour prendre ton cœur rebelle ...
Devant tes rideaux, doux comme un agneau
Mon chant dans la nuit s'attarde...
Mais l'agneau d'un coup se transforme en loup
Quand on rit de lui... prends garde! Ah!
Un Caballero repart pour Grenade!
Un Caballero chante son aubade!
Ton Caballero n'est pas un poète!
Son cœur est si gros qu'il en perd la tête
Mais sur son cheval, un soir c'est fatal
Il t'emportera ma belle ...
Tu seras punie d'avoir ri de lui
Et tu lui seras fidèle...
Jusqu'à ce qu'un jour s'en aille l'amour
Qui chante sous ta fenêtre...
Alors regrettant sa chanson d'antan
Tout bas tu diras peut-être...
O Caballero... O Caballero... O Caballero!
Adios, adios, au revoir!

Gypsy, Joe And Me
Gypsy, Joe And Me
Composer(s): Dolly Parton
Performer(s): Dolly Parton
We might have slept in a rail yard
or camped by the river bank
We fed ourselves from the fruit of the land
And quenched our thirst with rain
We never did allow no roots to grow beneath our feet
Life just had no pattern for Gypsy, Joe and me
All we had was each other and the rags upon our back
The closest thing to a home we new was some abandoned shack
But we had all we needed and the rest we didn't need
Life was free and simple for Gypsy, Joe and me
Now Gypsy was my little dog, I found by the road in a ditch
And so I named him Gypsy, cause that name just seemed to fit
Oh and Joe he was my man, the flower of my soul
Thou he never said he loved me, I just always seemed to know
While standing by the highway, thumbin' for a ride
The speeding wheels of a passing car, took Gypsy's life
I lost him where I found him and his loss was misery
Now there's no more Gypsy, there's just Joe and me
Well the winter came and the snow did fall
And the night was cold and still
And the rags we wore were not enough
And Joe he caught the chill
And he told me how he loved me
And in my arms he went to sleep
Now there's no more Gypsy, no more Joe, there's just me
While standin' here on the edge of this bridge
Lookin' down I see
The face of Joe and Gypsy, lookin' back at me
And somewhere in the distance I can hear them callin' me
Tonight we'll be together again
Gypsy, Joe and me

That's Him
That’s Him
Composer(s): Ogden Nash - Kurt Weill
Performer(s): multiple artists
You know the way you feel when there is autumn in the air
That’s him, that’s him
The way you feel when Antoine has finished with your hair
That’s him, that’s him
You know the way you feel when you smell fresh bread baking
The way you feel when, oh, your aching back stops aching
Wonderful world, wonderful you, that’s him, that’s him, that’s him
Be simple as a breeze that blows in summer
Be natural, not actuary
He’s like a plumber when you need a plumber
Mmm, he’s satisfactory
You know the way you feel at movies when the lights grow dimmer
The way you feel when overnight your hips grow slimmer
Wonderful world, wonderful you
Say, c’est Paris, say New York, sa-voury
In the darkest caves and hallways, I would know him always
‘Cause I would see that he‘s the one for me
How could I pass by him when I’d identify him so easily
Because you know the way you feel about a rhapsody in blue
His eyes are blue
His eyes are brown! His are on the town
The way you feel about a hat created just for you, that’s him, that’s him
He’s Christmas, he’s collar, he’s a coke with cherries
Let’s face it girls – he’s a man - he’s necessary
Wonderful world, wonderful you, that’s him, that’s him

Cab Driver
Cab Driver
Composer(s): C. Carson Parks
Performer(s): The Mills Brothers; Gatlin Brothers; Squeeze-bot
Cab Driver, drive by Mary's place
I just wanna chance to see her face
Don't stop the meter, let it race
Cab Driver, drive by Mary's place
Cab Driver, once more round the block
Never mind the ticking of the clock
I only wish we could have a talk
Cab Driver, once more round the block
Cab Driver, once more down the street
There's a little place we used to meet
That`s where I laid my future at her feet
Cab Driver, once more down the street
Cab Driver, wait here by the door
Perhaps I'll hold her in my arms once more
Then thing's will be just like before
Cab Driver, wait here by the door
Cab Driver, better take me home
I guess that I was meant to be alone
I hope God sends me a love one of my own
Cab Driver, better take me home
Cab Driver, better take me home!

Gypsy Woman
Gypsy Woman
Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield
Performer(s): Curtis Mayfield
From nowhere through the caravan
Round the campfire light
Lovely woman in motion
With hair as dark as night
Her eyes were like that of a cat in the dark
that hypnotized me with love
She was a gypsy woman
She was a gypsy woman
She was a gypsy woman
She was a gypsy woman
She was a gypsy woman
She danced around and round
Guitar's melody
From the fire her face was aglow
How she enchanted me
I'd like to hold her near
And kiss her hair and whisper in her ear
I love you gypsy woman
I love you gypsy woman
I love you gypsy woman
I love you gypsy woman
All through the caravan
She was dancing with all the men
Waiting for the rising sun
Everyone was having fun
Hated to see her go
Knowing that she'll never know
that I love her
that I love her
I love you gypsy woman
I love you gypsy woman
I love you gypsy woman
I love you gypsy woman

That's Happiness
That’s Happiness
Composer(s): Fred Ebb - Harry Coleman - Paul Klein
Performer(s): Alma Cogan; Marion Ryan
The way you say hallo and smile at me each time we meet
The way you take my hand and walk beside me down the street
The way you say you need me
That’s happiness
The way you speak my name and make it sound just like a sigh
The way you cheer me up when fortune seems to pass me by
The way you say you want me
That’s happiness
The many tender things you’ve told me
The gentle kisses that we shared
The way your arms were meant to hold me
Each time that I begin to cry
Although it well may be you’ll never be a millionaire
It wouldn’t bother me as long as you are always there
Just to know you love me
That’s happiness
Although it well may be you’ll never be a millionaire
It wouldn’t bother me as long as you are always there
Just to know you love me
That’s happiness

Ça, C'est Paris
Ça, C'est Paris
Composer(s): José Padilla - Lucienne Boyer - Jacques Charles
Performer(s): Mistinguett
and multiple other artists
Paris c'est une blonde
Qui plaît à tout le monde
Le nez retroussé l'air moqueur
Les yeux toujours rieurs
Tous ceux qui la connaissent
Grisés par ses caresses
S'en vont mais reviennent toujours
Paris à tes amours!
La petite vogue de Paris
Malgré ce qu'on en dit
A les mêmes attraits qu'Hollywood
Oui mais...
Elle possède à ravir
La manière de s'en servir
Elle a perfectionné la façon de se donner
Ça, c'est Paris!
Ça, c'est Paris!
Paris c'est une blonde
Qui plaît à tout le monde
Le nez retroussé l'air moqueur
Les yeux toujours rieurs
Tous ceux qui la connaissent
Grisés par ses caresses
S'en vont mais reviennent toujours
Paris à ton amour!
Ça, c'est Paris!
Ça, c'est Paris!

Gypsy Wind
Gypsy Wind
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
I still recall the place
When I first felt your gypsy wind
Playing on my face
That summer's long since gone
But gypsy winds have ways of staying on
Voices from our past
Still insist on arguing
That love will never last
And though our hearts may turn
It's only when you listen
that you learn
And I wonder at the ways
The strands of love meander
Through our close and distant days
The blood of passion plays
Burns our thirsty souls
And chases reason far away...
Far away...
And still your gypsy wind
Will soothe my soul and call me
back again
Growing wise with age
We come to see the printing
Through the pictures on the page
Though something's always lost
The gain is always tempered by the cost
And I wonder at the ways
The strands of love meander
Through our close and distant days
The blood of passion plays
Burns our thirsty souls
And chases reason far away...
Far away...
And still your gypsy wind
Will soothe my soul and call me back again

That's Good! That's Bad!
That's Good! That's Bad!
Composer(s): Ervin Drake - Jimmy Shirl
Performer(s): George Jones
and multiple other artists
Yes, I still love you (That's good)
But I've got doubts about us (That's bad)
Still I don't know if it's in me to leave you (Ah honey, that's good)
It would be the worst break my heart ever had
We still have something (And it's good)
Though I do feel it's slipping (Ah, that's bad)
But I'll try like to devil to save it (Ah, that's good)
I'd sure miss that ol' feeling we had
We thought of this love to last
We're falling apart and that's sad
We've got to get it back together we're losing our love
That's good, that's bad
We could go to the bedroom (That's good)
It's been too long since we've been there (Honey, that's bad)
We might break down this wall that's between us
And bring back the good love we had
We thought of this love to last
We're falling apart and that's sad
We've got to get it back together we're losing our love
That's good, that's bad

Chit Akins, Make Me A Star
Chit Akins, Make Me A Star
Composer(s): Don Bowman
Performer(s): Don Bowman
Nobody knows where he came from
They don't know how he got in
But Nashville won't forget the day
That he walked right in to RCA
With a guitar.....and a grin
Hey there, Chit Akins, would you make me a star?
Oh, I tell you I am somethin' else with this guitar
Really! I mean, listen, you don'tknow what you're missin'
Just listen
I mean just lis-ten to this...
... Ain't that fierce? Ain't that intense?
The crowd began to gather
To watch the fun begin
With his cowboy boots and his coveralls
His one-way ticket from Cedar Falls
That big guitar.... and a grin
Hey there, Chit Akins, would you make me a star?
I mean me being such a gas with this guitar
Listen, would you believe I ain't even got your correspondence course yet
That's hard to believe, ain't it?
S'true! Never had a lesson
Never! And just listen
Just lis-ten here...
Everybody seemed to like him
So the Company took him in
Background music is all he plays
He's on all them records from RCA
With his guitar... and his grin
Hey, Chit Akins
How come it is I never get to play by myself, huh?
I mean, you get to play by yourself
How come I don't never get to play with some o' them big symphonies like you do, huh?
How come, Chit? How 'bout when the swellin' goes down in my fingers?
Then can I? Huh, Chit?

Ça Vient Sans Qu'on Y Pense
Ça Vient Sans Qu'on Y Pense
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Jacques Plante
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
La pluie
Frappe à la fenêtre
L'ennui
Dans nos cœurs pénètre
Les nuits
Sont plus longues que les jours
Où sont
Nos jolies vacances
Frissons
De l'eau bleue qui danse
Chansons
Et soleil sur nos amours
Ça vient sans qu'on y pense
Soudain ça recommence
Et rien, rien n'est jamais perdu d'avance
Sans bruit ça se prépare
Et puis sans crier gare
Ça vient quand on n'y croyait plus
C'est vrai
La saison est moche
Je n'ai
Plus un sou en poche
Faudrait
Un miracle du bon Dieu alleluia
Mais toi
Ça te fait sourire
Je vois
Que tu vas me dire
Mais pourquoi
Prends-tu l'argent au sérieux?
Ça vient sans qu'on y pense
Soudain ça recommence
Et rien, rien n'est jamais perdu d'avance
Sans bruit ça se prépare
Et puis sans crier gare
Ça vient quand on n'y croyait plus
Un jour
Comme une tornade
Au cours
D'une promenade
L'amour
S'est abattu sur nous deux
D'abord
On n'y prend pas garde
Le tort
C'est qu'on se regarde
Dès lors
Tout se passe dans nos yeux
Ça vient sans qu'on y pense
Soudain ça recommence
Et rien, rien n'est jamais perdu d'avance
Sans bruit ça se prépare
Et puis sans crier gare
Ça vient quand on n'y croyait plus
Des mots
J'en ai dans ma tête
Bien trop
Pour ma chansonnette
Un flot
Qui n'a rime ni raison
Souvent
Je l'avoue je planche
Devant
Une page blanche
Mais comment
Vais-je écrire ma chanson?
Ça vient sans qu'on y pense
Soudain ça recommence
Et rien, rien n'est jamais perdu d'avance
Sans bruit ça se prépare
Et puis sans crier gare
Ça vient quand on n'y croyait plus ...

Gypsy Love Song
Gypsy Love Song
Composer(s): Victor Herbert; Henry Bache Smith
Performer(s): Connee Boswell;
and various other artists
The birds of the forest are calling for thee
And the shades and the glades are lonely
Summer is there with her blossoms fair
And you are absent only
No bird That nests in the greenwood tree
But sighs to greet you and kiss you
All the violets yearn, yearn for your safe return
But most of all I miss you
Slumber on, my little gypsy sweetheart
Dream of the field and the grove
Can you hear me, hear me in that dreamland
Where your fancies rove
Slumber on, my little gypsy sweetheart
Wild little woodland dove
Can you hear the love song that tells you
All my heart's true love
The fawn that you tamed has a look in its eyes
That doth say, "We are too long parted"
Songs that are trolled by our comrades old
Are not now as they were light hearted
The wild rose fades in the leafy shades
Its ghost will find you and haunt
All the friends say come, come to your woodland home
And most of all I want you

That's For Me
That’s For Me
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Dick Haymes
I saw you standing in the sun and you were something to see
I know what I liked and I liked what I saw
And I said to myself, that’s for me
A lovely morning, I remarked, and you were quick to agree
You wanted to walk and I nodded my head
As I breathlessly said, that’s for me
I left you standing under stars, the day’s adventures are through
There’s nothing for me but the dream in my heart
And the dream in my heart, that’s for you
Oh my darling, that’s for you
I left you standing under stars, the day’s adventures are through
There’s nothing for me but the dream in my heart
And the dream in my heart, that’s for you
Oh my darling, that’s for you

Ça Va Pas Changer Le Monde
Ça Va Pas Changer Le Monde
((Dutch Version: Antwârpe ... Ik Vind Oe Prachtig (by De Strangers))
Composer(s): Joe Dassin - Pierre Delanoë - Claude Lemesle - Vito Pallavicini
Performer(s): Joe Dassin
and multiple other artists
C'est drôle, tu es partie
Et pourtant tu es encore ici
Puisque tout me parle de toi
Un parfum de femme, l'écho de ta voix
Ton adieu, je n'y crois pas du tout
C'est un au revoir, presqu'un rendez-vous...
Ça va pas changer le monde
Il a trop tourné sans nou
Il pleuvra toujours sur Londres...
ça va rien changer du tout
Qu'est-ce que ça peut bien lui faire
Une porte qui s'est renfermée?
On s'est aimés, n'en parlons plus
Et la vie continue
Ça va pas changer le monde
Que tu changes de maison
Il va continuer, le monde
Et il aura bien raison
Les poussières d'une étoile
C'est Ça qui fait briller la voie lactée...
On s'est aimés, n'en parlons plus
Et la vie continue
Ça va pas changer le monde
Ça va pas le déranger
Il est comme avant, le monde
C'est toi seule qui as changé
Moi, je suis resté le même
Celui qui croyait que tu l'aimais...
c'était pas vrai, n'en parlons plus
Et la vie continue

Gypsy Davy
Gypsy Davy
Composer(s): Woody Guthrie
Performer(s): Woody Guthrie;
and various other artists
It was late last night when the boss come home
askin' about his lady
the only answer he received, "She's gone with the
gypsy Davy, gone with the gypsy Davy"
"Go saddle for me my buskin' horse
and a hundred dollars saddle
point out to me their wagon tracks
and after them I'll travel, after them I'll ride"
Well, I had not rode 'til the midnight moon
when I saw the campfire gleaming
I heard the notes of the big guitar
and the voice of the gypsy singin'
that song of the gypsy Dave
There in the light of the camping fire
I saw her fair face beaming
her heart in tune with the big guitar
and the voice of the gypsy singing
that song of the gypsy Dave
Have you forsaken your house and home
have you forsaken your baby
have you forsaken your husband dear
to go to the gypsy Dave
and sing with the gypsy Dave
that song of the gypsy Dave
Yes, I've forsaken my husband dear
to go with the gypsy Davy
and I've forsaken my mansion high
but not my blue-eyed baby
not my blue-eyed babe
Take off take off your buskin'gloves
made of Spanish leather
give to me your lily-white hand
We'll ride back home together
and we'll ride home again
No, I won't take off my buskin' gloves
they're made of Spanish leather
I'll go my way from day to day
and sing with the gypsy Davy
that song of the gypsy Dave
that song of the gypsy Dave

That's Entertainment!
That's Entertainment!
Composer(s): Howard Dietz - Arthur Schwartz
First performance by: Jack Buchanan, Nanette Fabray, Oscar Levant, Fred Astaire - 1953
Covered by multiple other artists
The clown with his pants falling down
Or the dance that's a dream of romance
Or the scene where the villain is mean
That's entertainment!
The lights on the lady in tights
Or the bride with the guy on the side
Or the ball where she gives him a roar
That's entertainment!
The plot can be hot, simply teeming with sex
A gay divorcee who is after her ex
It can be Oedipus Rex
Where a chap kills his father
And causes a lot of bother
The clerk who is thrown out of work
By the boss who is thrown for a loss
By this girl who is doing him dirt
The world is a stage
The stage is a world of entertainment!
It might be a fight like you see on the screen
A swain getting slain for the lot of a queen
Some great Shakespearean scene
Where a ghost and a prince meet
And everyone ends in mincemeats
The gag may be waving the flag
That began with a mystical hand
Hip hooray, the American way
The world is a stage
The stage is a world of entertainment!
