Faut Pas Faire De La Peine À John


Faut Pas Faire De La Peine À John
Performer(s): Joe Dassin



Sarcelles a ses marlous, Bercy a ses clochards
Saint-Germain-des-Prés a Big John Le Tatoué
Qui touche sa bille au billard
Il est grand et con comme la Tour Montparnasse
Et un peu plus costaud qu'un percheron
Et dans tous les bars les loubards quand il passe
Laissent la place et l'appellent patron
Precaution, et ils disent:

On casse pas le moral à Zorro
On dit pas merde à Capone
On tire pas le masque à Fantomas
Et faut pas faire de la peine à John

Un jour du fond de sa brousse
Vint un cul-terreux
Qui nous dit je cherche un nommé John
Je suis un as du billard
Mon nom est Jacques Izambar
Mais pour les intimes c'est Tom
Ouais, je cherche un genre de mac
Qui roule sa caisse en Cadillac
Qui ......... à cent sacs
Qui m'a piqué mon flouze
Et j'arrive de Toulouse
Pour lui faire passer le goût de l'arnaque
Et tout le monde lui dit:
Jacques, fais pas le braque

On casse pas le moral à Zorro
On dit pas merde à Capone
On tire pas le masque à Fantomas
Et faut pas faire de la peine à John

Un silence de mort
Dans la salle de billard
Lorsque John a tombé le gilet
Mais après la bagarre
La seule partie du malabar
Qu'a pas saigné
C'était sa plante des pieds
Deux cent cinquante et quelque estafilades
Et deux trois balles par ci par là
Et je vous prie de croire
Qu'on a changé de sérénade
En voyant John les bras en croix
On chantait tous

On casse pas le moral à Zorro
On dit pas merde à Capone
On tire pas le masque à Fantomas
Et faut pas faire de la peine à Tom

Ce qui est pour vous apprendre
Qu'il ne faut jamais arnaquer
Des gens que vous ne connaissez pas
Meme si vous roulez en Cadillac fraise écrasée
Avec des chaussures assorties

On casse pas le moral à Zorro
On dit pas merde à Capone
On tire pas le masque à Fantomas
Et faut pas faire de la peine à Tom

The Bells Of Gethsemani


The Bells Of Gethsemani
Composer(s): Joan Baez - Thomas Merton
Performer(s): Joan Baez



Sweet brother, if I do not sleep
My eyes are flowers on your tomb
And if I cannot eat my bread
My fasts shall live like willows where you died
If in the heat I find no water for my thirst
My thirst shall turn to springs for you, poor traveler

Come, in your labor find a resting place
And in my sorrows lay your head
Brother, take my life and bread
And buy yourself a better bed
Take my breath and take my death
Buy yourself a better rest beneath the bells of Gethsemani

When all the men of war are killed
And flags have fallen into dust
Your cross and mine will tell men still
He died on each for both of us
That we might become the brothers of God
And learn to know the Christ of burnt men
And the children are ringing the bells of Gethsemani

For in the wreckage of your April Christ lies slain
He weeps in the ruins of my spring
The money of whose tears shall fall
Into your weak and friendless hand
And buy you back to your own land
The silence of whose tears shall fall
Like bells upon your alien tomb
Hear them and come, they call you home
And the children are ringing the bells of Gethsemani

Yes, if they had been there
They would have taken that crown of thorns from his hair
And stayed for a while in that place of despair
Ah, but what do I see, my brother is there
And he's ringing the bells of Gethsemani

Can't We Talk It Over?


Can’t We Talk It Over? Composer(s): Ned Washington - Victor Young Performer(s): Bing Crosby and multiple other artists



We were so in love the day love started
Who would think that we would soon be parted
I just can’t believe it’s true
I make this appeal to you

Can’t we talk it over,
Let’s talk it over
Before you tell me you’re through
Can’t we sit together
And figure whether
This is the right thing to do

I hate the thought of spending nights all alone
Missing the thrill of nights that we’ve known

Can’t we talk it over
Before it’s over
Before you whisper
Goodbye for ever
Let’s talk it over dear

I hate the thought of spending nights all alone
Missing the thrill of nights that we’ve known

Can’t we talk it over
Before it’s over
Before you whisper
Goodbye for ever
Let’s talk it over dear

Faut Pas Avoir Le Blues


Faut Pas Avoir Le Blues (Adapted from: Singing the Blues - 1956 Composer(s): Melvin Endsley; Claude Moine Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1980 Titles In Other Languages: 1957 - Et Smil Og En Sang 1980 - Ik Zing De Blues



On nous dit qu'c'est la crise
Qu'y a plus moyen d'pétroler
Qu'c'est la fin du monde
Qu'la vieille Europe est coulée
Mais... Faut pas...
Faudrait pas avoir le blues
Mon banquier m'a dit
Que mon unique ami
Est mort aujourd'hui
Adieu mon pauvre crédit
Mais... Faut pas...
Faudrait pas avoir le blues
Planté devant ma télé
J'vois le Tiers-Monde s'écrouler
Dans mon salons, sur ma p'louse
Et faudrait pas avoir le blues
Manquerait plus que tu partes
Pour que la boucle soit bouclée
Un impôt sur l'Amour
Ils vont sûrement y penser
Mais... Faut pas...
Faudrait pas avoir le blues
Je le jure depuis que j'suis né
C'est les mêmes tronches politisées
Qui m'disent "laisse faire j'm'occupe de tout"
Et faudrait
Qu'en plus j'aime le blues
On nous dit qu'c'est la crise
Qu'y a plus moyen d'pétroler
Qu'c'est la fin du monde
Qu'la vieille Europe est coulée
Mais... Faut pas...
Faudrait pas avoir le blues
Faudrait pas...
Faudrait pas avoir le blues
Faudrait pas...
Faudrait pas avoir le blues

Can You Tame Wild Wimmen


Can You Tame Wild Wimmen Composer(s): Andrew B. Sterling - Harry Von Tilzer Performer(s): Barbelle



When the circus came to town
Jay Augustus Henpeck Brown bought himself a ticket to the show
Passed by all the acrobats
all the clowns in funny hats went to see the animals below
saw a "tamer" put his head into a lion's mouth
waited till the "tamer man" was through
shook his hand and said "at taming wild one's you're a bird
but just one thing I'd like to ask of you"

Jay Augustus Henpeck Brown gave the crowd the up and down
saw a woman edging t'ward the cage
there she is he yelled in fright, there she is
she's wild all right, wilder than a tiger in a rage
Mister "Tamer" man he whispered in a trembling voice
tell me did you ever have a wife
you can tame the wildest beast I know
but listen please, there's only one thing now can save my life

Can you tame wild wimmen?
Can you tame wild wimmen?
You made a tiger stand and eat out of your hand
you made the hippo do the flippo, honest it was grand
but can you tame wild wimmen
so they'll always lead a sweet and simple life?
with a wild ferocious glance that pierced him like a lance
you made the grizzly bear get up and do the "Hula dance"
but can you tame wild wimmen?
if you can please, tame my wife

Faut Faire Avec ...


Faut Faire Avec ...
Composer(s): Claude Lemesle; Gilbert Bécaud
Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud



Dans le grand silence
La vie commence
Par une larme
Chaque enfant qui naît
C'est un prophète
Faut faire avec...

Il devient debout
L'avenir est lourd
Dans son cartable
Les années d'acné
Les soirs de fête
Faut faire avec...

Et la vie avance
Irresistible, impitoyable
Sans le moindre plan
Le moindre break
Faut faire avec...

Passent, les rêves qui cassent
Qui laissent des traces
Innéfaçables
Ça coûte cher
Les faux pokers
Les vrais échecs
Faut faire avec...

Pour tromper sa peur
On met son cœur derrière un masque
On carnavale son idéal
On se gadget'
Faut faire avec...

Quand la vie prend l'eau
Nos vieux mat'lots
Nous laissent en rade
Quand ils nous plaquent
Pas de come back
Aucun remake
Faut faire avec...

On peut pourtant
Défier le temps
En regardant
La mort en face
Puis sans un cri
Payer le prix des cigarettes
Faut faire avec...

Fou le monde est fou
Et Dieu s'en fout
Vieillard trop sage
Toi mon amour
Ton ventre est lourd
D'un nouveau siècle
Faut faire avec...
Faut faire avec...

Can You Stop The Rain


Can You Stop The Rain Composer(s): Walter Afanasieff - John Bettis Performer(s): Peabo Bryson and multiple other artists



Ooh...ooh...ooh...
Girl

Here's another morning without you
Here's another day, will I get through
Without breaking down
Haven't seen the sun since you've been gone
Like my heart I lost it when you left me
And it can't be found

How can I go on
Baby, I've been living on memories
Of you and me
All the love we made
All those tender nights
And those endless days, they're all here inside

Baby, can you stop the rain from falling
Won't you chase my clouds away
I'd give anything to see the sun again
Only you can stop these tears from falling
I can't face another day
Baby, can you stop
Can you stop the rain, oh, oh

Everywhere I go I hear you there
Following my footsteps like a shadow
Of my broken heart
Sometimes it's a pair of passing eyes
Or it's just the way someone is talking
And there you are

Am I all alone
Don't ever wake up and reach for me
Where I used to be (Used to be)
Is there any chance
I just can't believe you're not lonely too
Just for me and you

Baby, can you stop the rain from falling
Won't you chase my clouds away
I'd give anything to see the sun again
Only you can stop these tears from falling
I can't face another day
Baby, can you stop
Can you stop the rain, oh, oh

If you are here for only one night
Baby, I know you remember
`Cause loving you once wasn't time enough
I know we can make it together, together

Baby, stop the rain
Won't you chase the clouds away
I'd give anything to see the sun again
Only you can stop these tears of mine from falling
I can't face another day
Baby, can you stop
Can you, can you stop the rain

Can you stop the rain, yeah
Oh...oh...oh...
How can I live without you, baby
I've gotta let you go, yeah
Chase my clouds away

Fauché


Fauché
English & Italian Titles: Busted; Sono Un Fallito
Composer(s): Claude Moine; Eddy Mitchell; Harlan Howard
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



Mon cœur est triste
Ma vie est vide
Je suis fauché
Tous mes tourments
Proviennent de l'argent
Je suis fauché
J'ai peur de rencontrer plusieurs de mes amis
Aussi je dors le jour ne sortant que la nuit
De peur qu'ils apprennent
Que je suis fini
Je suis fauché

Je vais voir mon frère
Voir ce qu'il peut faire
Pour m'aider
Mais je souris
Car lui aussi
Il est fauché
Oh rien ne va plus
Au jeu j'ai tout perdu
Mais malheureux au jeu
Non pas d'amour heureux
Je voudrais pleurer
Je voudrais crier
Je suis fauché

J'aimerai te voir
Toi mon seul espoir
Pour oublier
Mais je t’envie
Car tu as compris
Je suis fauché
Oh tout est terminé
Le présent, le passé
C'est bien décidé
On m'a laissé tomber
Je prends à témoin
Le ciel si lointain
Pour oublier
Je suis fauché
À sec
Oh fauché
Rien

The Bells


The Bells
Composer(s): Rose Marks - Billy Ward
First recording/First release by: The Dominoes - 1952



There are four black horses
With eyes of flaming red
Their rovers are tied with ribbing
All around my baby's head

The bells are ringing
And their sail is going to sea

Yes I know why they're ringing
They ring on for me
Oh yea

I wish I could see my baby
This can't happen to me
No,...

Baby please forgive me
I know I've caused you pain
I'll place your tears with diamonds
Just to see your face again

(Repeat)

Ashes into ashes
Dust to dust
Ashes into ashes

The Beer That I Left On The Bar


The Beer That I Left On The Bar
Performer(s): Elliot Lawrence & his Orch.



Here's to the beer that I left on the bar
While they were dimming the lights
Here's to the beer and the friends I hold dear
And the songs of good cheer that we sang every night
Here's to the girls that we used to romance
Bless them wherever they are
Here's to the love that I keep dreaming of
In my heart she still shines like a star
And here's to my dreams though some how it seems
They never will get very far
And here is to me, yes I always will be
Like The Beer That I Left On The Bar

And here's to the grads the same bonny lads
Who gather each year from afar
And here is to you, here's to you, you and you
And The Beer That We Left On The Bar

Can You Read My Mind


Can You Read My Mind Composer(s): John Williams - Leslie Bricusse Performer(s): Margot Kidder and multiple other artists



Can you read my mind
Do you know what it is you do to me
Don't know who you are
Just a friend from another star

Here I am like a kid at a school
Holding hands with a god, I'm a fool
Will you look at me quivering
Like a little girl shivering
You can see right through me

Can you read my mind
Can you picture the things I'm thinking of
Wondering why you are
All the wonderful things you are

You can fly, you belong to the sky
You and I could belong to each other

If you need a friend,
I'm the one to fly to
If you need to be loved
Here I am, read my mind

Will you look at me quivering
Like a little girl shivering
You can see right through me

If you need a friend
I'm the one to fly to
If you need to be loved
Here I am, read my mind

Read my mind

Lost My Driving Wheel


Lost My Driving Wheel
Composer(s): David Wiffen
First release by: Tom Rush - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



I just came up on a midnight special, how about that
My car broke down in Texas, stopped dead in her tracks
I just called to tell you that I want you
I want to tell you how I feel

I feel like some old engine
Lost my drivin' wheel

I feel like some old engine
Lost my drivin' wheel

I took my money on a night train north, what a terrible flight
But I made my promise to be there with you on Saturday night
I just called to tell you that I need you
I need to tell you how I feel

I feel like some old engine
Lost my drivin' wheel

You can't say much in a phone call baby, ah you know how it is
But there's one short little thing I've got to say girl, please listen to this
I called to tell you that I love you
I'd love to tell you how I feel

I feel like some old engine
Lost my drivin' wheel

Fatima Brown


Fatima Brown
Composer(s): Joe McCarthy; Jimmie V. Monaco



In our town lived a girlie named Fatima Brown
She used to dance night and day, light and gay
Oh she certainly was slick, she had the kick
But one day came a sporty actor 'round our way
Hee promised he would marry her
Then he carried her off, the horrid thing
Now this same Fatima Brown is the rage of New York town
But

Years ago, when Fatima started with her show
She used to dance very mild, she was wild
When she found she didn't go, she was a crow
Bye and bye funny little movements she would try
She found the men admired her and inspired her so, the rest you know
Now she almost shakes the earth, and you get your money's worth
But

Oh, how she changed, she used to dance the butterfly
Gracefully she'd kick so high
Now she dances the seven veils, but six veils must be shy
O o-o! If the home folks knew, why they'll all come sneakin'
Even bring the deacon down to town
She flitters here, she flitters there, flitters almost everywhere
And you have to hold tight to your chair, when you see Fatima Brown

The Bee Song


The Bee Song
Composer(s): Kenneth Blain
Performer(s): Arthur Askey



Oh what a glorious thing to be
A healthy grown up busy busy bee
Whiling away
The passing hours
Pinching all the pollen
From the cauliflow'rs
I'd like to be a busy little bee
Being just as busy as a bee can be
Flying round the garden
Brightest ever seen
Taking back the honey
To the dear old queen

Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee
Bz if you like but don't sting me
Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee
Bz if you like but don't sting me

Oh what a glorious thing to be
A healthy grown up busy busy bee
Toying with the tulips
Tasting ev'ry type
Building up the honeycomb
That looks like tripe.
I'd like to be a busy little bee
Being just as busy as a bee can be
Flying all around
In the wild hedgerows
Stinging all the cows
Upon the parson's nose

Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee
Bz if you like but don't sting me
Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee
Bz if you like but don't sting me

Oh what a glorious thing to be
A healthy grown up busy busy bee
Visiting the picnics
Quite a little tease
Raising little lumps
Upon the maidens' knees
I'd like to be a busy little bee
Being just as busy as a bee can be
Flirting with the butterfly
Strong upon the wing
Whoopee! O death
Where is thy sting?

Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee
Bz if you like but don't sting me
Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee
Bz if you like but don't sting me

Oh what a glorious thing to be
A healthy grown up busy busy bee
To be a good bee
One must contrive
For bees in a beehive
Must behive
But maybe I wouldn't be a bee
Bees are all right when alive, you see
But when bees die
You really should see 'em
Pinned on a card
In a dirty museum

Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee
Bz if you like but don't sting me
Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee
Bz if you like but don't sting me

Can You Hear What I'm Saying


Can You Hear What I'm Saying Composer(s): Jean-Michel Byron - David Paich - Mike Porcaro Performer(s): Toto



The world is precious, a gift to you and me
I suggest we treat her right, with love and dignity

Everybody's looking for some peace of mind
If you seek the truth then you will surely find
Everybody wants to have global peace
Whilst the press of a button can shake the world to its knees

Can you hear what I'm saying, can you hear what I'm saying

Those who say might is right, I beg to disagree
I say we all unite and redirect our destiny

Everybody's looking for a quick solution
Our longs are choking from breating in air polution
I say put down your guns and stop the revolution
And say this time we make a restitution

Can you hear what I'm saying, can you hear what I'm saying

Can you hear what I'm saying, can you hear what I'm saying
Can you hear what I'm saying, can you hear what I'm saying

Can you hear me now, I am calling right out for you
(Can you hear me calling out to you, can you hear me calling out to you)

There's so much starvation, so much say untruth
So much prejudice, there's so much liquidation - oh how long, how long

Can you hear what I'm saying

Africa, America, Eurasia, Latin Africa

Father's Whiskers


Father's Whiskers




I have a dear old daddy
For whom I nightly pray
He has a set of whiskers
That are always in the way

Oh, they're always in the way
The cows eat them for hay
They hide the dirt on Daddy's shirt
They're always in the way

Father had a strong back
Now it's all caved in
He stepped upon his whiskers
And walked up to his chin

Oh, they're always in the way
The cows eat them for hay
They hide the dirt on Daddy's shirt
They're always in the way

Father has a daughter
Her name is Ella Mae
She climbs up father's whiskers
And braids them all the way

Oh, they're always in the way
The cows eat them for hay
They hide the dirt on Daddy's shirt
They're always in the way

I have a dear old mother
She likes the whiskers, too
She uses them for dusting
And cleaning out the flue

Oh, they're always in the way
The cows eat them for hay
They hide the dirt on Daddy's shirt
They're always in the way
