The House Song
The House Song
Composer(s): Noel Paul Stookey - Bannard
Performer(s): Peter, Paul & Mary
and multiple other artists
This house goes on sale ev'ry Wednesday morning
And taken off the market in the afternoon
You can buy a piece of it if you want to
It's been good to me if it's been good for you
Take the grand look now the fire is burning
Is that your reflection on the wall?
I can show you this room and some others
If you came to see the house at all
Careful up the stairs, a few are missing
I haven't had the time to make repairs
First step is the hardest one to master
Last one I'm not really sure is there
This room here once had childish laughter
And I come back to hear it now and again
I can't say that I'm certain what you're after
But in this room, a part of you will remain
Second floor, the lady sleeps in waiting
Past the lantern, tiptoe in its glance
In the room the soft brown arms of shadow
This room the hardest one to pass
How much will you pay to live in the attic?
The shavings off your mind are the only rent
I left some would there if you thought you couldn't
Or if the shouldn't that you've bought has been spent
This house goes on sale ev'ry Wednesday morning
And taken off the market in the afternoon
You can buy a piece of it if you want to
It's been good for me if it's been good for you

Cet Anneau D'or
Cet Anneau D'or
Composer(s): P. Carrel - Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant
Performer(s): Georges Guétary
Cet anneau d'or
Que je pourrai bientôt mettre à ton doigt
Cet anneau d'or
Dira au monde entier que tu es à moi
Et que nous deux devant Dieu et les hommes
On s'est juré un éternel amour
Cet anneau d'or
Pour nous deux jusqu'à la fin du monde
Enchaînera nos cœurs d'une joie vagabonde
Et tu seras pour moi encore plus belle
Quand tu auras cet anneau d'or au doigt!
Cet anneau d'or
Pour nous deux sera la douce chaîne
Qui restera toujours dans ta main et la mienne
Il suffira pour qu'on oublie nos peines
De voir briller ce petit anneau d'or
Cet anneau d'or
Pour nous deux jusqu'à la fin du monde
Enchaînera nos cœurs d'une joie vagabonde
Et tu seras pour moi encore plus belle
Quand tu auras cet anneau d'or au doigt!

House Of Singing Bamboo
House Of Singing Bamboo
Composer(s): Arthur Freed - Harry Warren
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney; Adolph Deutsch; Guy Mitchell
Got a place in the sun
A particular one
On a tropical avenue
Far away from it all
That I happily call
The house of singing bamboo
On the windier days
Seems an orchestra plays
On a musical breeze for you
Like a merry salute
From a heavenly flute
To the house of singing bamboo
So here I'll stay, nevermore to roam
From my new old-fashioned South Sea home
You don't have to count sheep
That's for "Little Bo Peep"
You can sleep till the sun peeks through
You can dream any dream
For you know that your dreams come true
When you live in a house
In a house of singing bamboo

Cet Air-Là
Cet Air-Là
Composer(s): Robert Gall - Alain Goraguer
Performer(s): France Gall; April March
Quand ils sont longs les jours de pluie
Quand je suis seule quand je m'ennuie
Que dans un rythme monotone
Au fond de moi ton nom résonne
Il me reste cet air-là
Qui vient me parler de toi
Car en chantant cet air-là
Je ne peux penser qu'à toi
Lorsque tour à tour dans ma vie
Que je n't'ai pas vu de la semaine
Que je dis comme une litanie
À mon oreiller que je t'aime
Il me reste cet air-là
Qui vient me parler de toi
Car en chantant cet air-là
Je ne peux penser qu'à toi
Sur le triste quai d'une gare
Si un jour la vie nous sépare
Ou que ton cœur change de route
Moi j'aurai le mien en déroute
Il restera cet air-là
À jamais au fond de moi
Car pour toujours cet air-là
Parlera de toi et moi
Il restera cet air-là
À jamais au fond de moi
Et je sais que cet air-là
Te ramènera vers moi

Freebootin'
Freebootin'
Composer(s): Robert B. Sherman; Richard M. Sherman
Performer(s): Johnny Whitaker & Jeff East
Tom and Huck:
Freebootin'
Freebootin'
Kickin' up our feet in the sand
Freebootin'
Freebootin'
Livin' off the fat of the land
Got no doors to shut us in
We got no ties that bind
Rollin' down the road to sin
Without no never mind
Huck:
Like a big fat cow
A-chewin' on her cud
Tom:
Like a cat fish grubbin'
In the bottom of the mud
Huck:
We're happy as a coot
And we don't give a hoot
Tom and Huck:
Ain't we fine?
Freebootin'
Freebootin'
Kickin' up our feet in the sand
Freebootin'
Freebootin'
Livin' off the fat of the land
Nobody's tellin' us when to rise
Or when to sleep or eat
Nobody's here to criticize
Or whack us on the seat
Like a hog in the slime
We're wallerin' our time
Doin' what we're doin'
And it ain't no crime
We don't give a dang
Let the world go hang
Ain't life sweet?
Freebootin'
Freebootin'
Kickin' up our feet in the sand
Freebootin'
Freebootin'
Livin' off the fat of the land
We're thick as thieves
And tough as mules
We don't know wrong from right
Got no bounds
Got no rules
We don't know day from night
We got no worries
We just don't care
Mean as a buzzard
And hungry as a bear
Better steer clear
And you better beware
We may bite!

The House Is Haunted (By The Echo Of Your Last Goodbye)
The House Is Haunted (By The Echo Of Your Last Goodbye)
Composer(s): Billy Rose - Basil Adlam
Performer(s): Mel Tormé
and multiple other artists
The house is haunted by the echo of your last goodbye
The house is haunted by the mem'ries that refuse to die
I can't get away from a vision that brings
Intimate glimpses of intimate things
A voice in my heart like a torch singer sings
I wonder who's kissing her now?
The house is haunted by the echo of your fav'rite song
The place is cluttered up with mem'ries that have lived too long
Much too long
The ceiling is white, but the shadows are black
The ghost in my heart says she'll never come back
The house is haunted by the echo of your last goodbye
I'll never forget you, I'll never forget you
The house is haunted by the echo of your last goodbye

C'est What?
C'est What?
Composer(s): Rick Davies
Performer(s): Supertramp
Yes I've been waiting
Waiting patiently and waiting
Well if you ever feeling sorry
So sorry for yourself
And they tell you not to worry
Just leave your problems on the shelf
C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what?
That's what they tell you
C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what?
Day and night
You're on the inside looking outside
Wishing you were somewhere else
But you sit back with reservations
As you count up all your unearned wealth
C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what?
Ah they're sayin' it again
C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what?
You know it and I know it too
Well let me tell you a story
Like the ones I used to know
'Bout love and all its glory
Well I'm sorry but it just ain't so
It took a long time just to get even
If you know just what I mean
So let's call it even Steven
In the land of broken dreams
C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what?
Ah they're at it again
C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what?
Every day and every night
I can't take it anymore
Gonna get it, don't sweat it
Don't apologize, it's all around you
Gonna get it, don't sweat it
Don't apologize, it's all around you
You may never be all that you wanna be
Deep down inside you, you know it will never be
No bed of roses or walk down the avenue
Culturally, socially, people walk over you
Get with the program and make with the attitude
Life is a dream if you face it my friend
Hey Hey

Free Bird
Free Bird
Composer(s): Allen Collins; Ronnie Van Zant
Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see
But, if I stayed here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you can not change
Lord knows, I can't change
Bye, bye, it's been a sweet love
Though this feeling I can't change
But please don't take it badly
'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame
But, if I stayed here with you girl
Things just couldn't be the same
Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you'll never change
And this bird you can not change
Lord knows, I can't change
Lord help me, I can't change

You Are My Heart's Delight
You Are My Heart's Delight ((aka My Heart Is Yours Alone (Richard Tauber) - 1931))
((German Version: Dein ist mein ganzes Herz (Richard Tauber) - 1929))
Composer(s): Franz Lehár - Harry Graham
Performer(s): Richard Tauber - 1931
and multiple other artists
You are my heart’s delight
And where you are, I long to be
You make my darkness bright
When like a star you shine on me
Shine, then, my whole life through
Your life divine bids me hope anew
That dreams of mine may at last come true
And I shall hear you whisper, “I love you”
In dreams when night is falling
I seem to hear you calling
For you have cast a net around me
And ‘neath a magic spell hath bound me
Yours, yours alone
A wondrous air is your beautiful hair
Bright as a summer sky is the night in your eyes
Soft as a sparkling star is the warmth of my love
You are my heart’s delight
And where you are, I long to be
You make my darkness bright
When like a star you shine on me
Shine, then, my whole life through
Your life divine bids me hope anew
That dreams of mine may at last come true
And I shall hear you whisper, “I love you”

C'est Vrai
C'est Vrai
Composer(s): Casimir Oberfeld - Albert Willemetz
Performer(s): Mistinguett
Oui c'est moi me voila je m'ramène
J'ai vu London j'ai vu Turin
L'Autriche-Hongrie
Mais de Vienne il fallait que j'revienne
Car je n'peux pas moi je vous l'dis
M'passer de Paris
Ce Paris qui pourtant vous chine tant et tant
On dit que j'aime les aigrettes
Les plumes et les toilettes
C'est vrai
On dit que j'ai la voix qui traîne
En chantant mes rengaines
C'est vrai
Lorsque ça monte trop haut moi je m'arrête
Et d'ailleurs on n'est pas ici à l'Opéra
On dit que j'ai l'nez en trompette
Mais j'serais pas Mistinguett
Si j'étais pas comme ça
Que c'est bon quand on vient d'Amsterdam
Et qu'on a vu pendant des mois des tas d'pays
De retrouver le macadam de Paname
Ses autobus et son métro et ses taxis
Paris et ses boulevards avec tous ses bobards
On dit que j'ai de grandes quenottes
Que je n'ai que trois notes
C'est vrai
On dit que j'aime jouer les arpètes
Les marchandes de violettes
C'est vrai
Mais ne voulant pas chiper aux grandes coquettes
Leur dame aux camélias moi j'vends mes bégonias
On dit que j'ai de belles gambettes
Mais j'serais pas Mistinguett
Si j'étais pas comme ça
On dit quand je fais mes emplettes
Que j'paye pas c'que j'achète
C'est vrai
On dit partout et l'on répète
Que j'lâche pas mes pépettes
C'est vrai
Mais si elle faisait comme moi pour sa galette
Marianne n'aurait pas un budget aussi bas
Et si l'on mettait à la tête des finances Mistinguett
On en serait pas là!

Free To Be ... You And Me
Free To Be ... You And Me
Composer(s): Bruce Hart; Stephen Lawrence
Performer(s): The New Seekers
There's a land that I see where the children are free
And I say it ain't far to this land from where we are
Take my hand, come with me, where the children are free
Come with me, take my hand, and we'll live
In a land where the river runs free
In a land through the green country
In a land to a shining sea
And you and me are free to be you and me
I see a land bright and clear, and the time's comin' near
When we'll live in this land, you and me, hand in hand
Take my hand, come along, lend your voice to my song
Come along, take my hand, sing a song
For a land where the river runs free
For a land through the green country
For a land to a shining sea
For a land where the horses run free
And you and me are free to be you and me
Every boy in this land grows to be his own man
In this land, every girl grows to be her own woman
Take my hand, come with me where the children are free
Come with me, take my hand, and we'll run
To a land where the river runs free
To a land through the green country
To a land to a shining sea
To a land where the horses run free
To a land where the children are free
And you and me are free to be
And you and me are free to be
And you and me are free to be you and me

The House I Live In (That's America To Me)
The House I Live In (That's America To Me)
Composer(s): Lewis Allan - Earl Robinson
First release by: Frank Sinatra - 1945
Covered by multiple other artists
What is A-mer-i-ca to me?
A name, a map, the flag I see
a cer-tain word, "De-moc-ra-cy"
What is A-mer-i-ca to me?
The house I live in
A plot of earth, a street
The groc-er and the butch-er and the peo-ple that I meet
The chil-dren in the play-ground, the fac-es that I see
All rac-es, all re-lig-ions, that's A-mer-i-ca to me
The place I work in, the work-er at my side
The lit-tle town or cit-y where my peo-ple lived and died
The "how-dy" and the hand-shake the air of feel-ing free
the right to speak my mind out, that's A-mer-i-ca to me
The things I see a-bout me the big things and the small
The lit-tle cor-ner news-stand and the house a mile tall
The wed-ding and the church-yard, the laugh-ter and the tears
The dream that's been a grow-in' for a hun-dred fif-ty years
The town I live in the street, the house, the room
The pave-ment of the cit-y, or a gar-den all in bloom
The church, the school, the club house
The mil-lion lights I see
But es-pec-ial-ly the peo-ple
That's A-mer-i-ca

Pour aller au bar j'ai quitté ma maison
Avec le blues accroché à mes talons

Elle m'a donné elle me voulait aucun doute
C'est une honky tonk woman
Fini, fini, fini le honky tonk blues
C'est une honky tonk woman
Et c'est fini, fini, fini, le honky tonk blues
Après quelques verres je ne savais plus qui j'étais
Mais cette fille certainement le savais
De toutes ses amies pas une n'étais jalouse
Nous avons fais l'amour à un contre douze
C'est une honky tonk woman
Fini, fini, fini le honky tonk blues

Free The People
Composer(s): Barbara Keith
Performer(s): Delaney & Bonnie:
and various other artists
Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me
Saw a man walk on water
And everybody looking on
I didn't know I was his daughter, daughter, daughter
Till both of us had come and gone
Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me
If you see me in the alley
Looking like I don't belong
Oh, you can put me in your deepest valley
I'll be singing the same old song
Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me
Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me
Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar

The Hostage
Composer(s): Giorgio Moroder - Pete Bellotte
Performer(s): Donna Summer
Lady:
Hallo
Kidnapper:
Lady we've just kidnapped your husband
Have $800,000 ready by tomorrow night
and lady no police
or you'll never see your husband alive again
Lady:
Hallo
I remember standing there so petrified
my hand frozen to the phone
as a stranger's words that caught in my ears
and chilled me to the bone
Some dark tragedy had come right home to me
they'd kidnapped my man and his life was in their hands
He was a hostage, a hostage
His life was at the mercy of their hands
He was a hostage, a hostage
His life depending on their gold demands
Lady:
Hallo
Kidnapper:
Lady, here's your husband through
to warn not to play any games
Husband:
Hi honey listen I'm okay
Just make sure you do whatever they tell you
and whatever you do don't go to the police!
Lady:
Well I couldn't raise that kinda money fast
so I was left no other choice
so I called the police and they came in fast
saying "leave it up to us
just do as they told
the ransom's in this bag
we'll watch over you
and we'll have your husband back too"
He was a hostage, a hostage
His life was at the mercy of their hands
He was a hostage, a hostage
His life depending on their gold demands
Lady:
Hallo
Kidnapper:
Listen very carefully lady
Drive out to the abandoned shack on Highway 16
throw the package of money out the window and keep driving
and remember lady no police!
Well my heart was heavy as I made that drive
I was sure something was wrong
I soon found the shack
I threw out the bag and I just kept driving on
Then the shots rang out and I turned my car about
On the ground one lay but the other one had gotten away
He was a hostage, a hostage
His life was at the mercy of their hands
He was a hostage, a hostage
His life depending on their gold demands
Lady:
Well they found my husband a few days later
Yes, the funeral's tomorrow

C'est Une Gamine Charmante
Composer(s): Albert Willernetz - Francis Solar - Henri Christiné
Performer(s): André Bourvil
Quand je la croisai l'autre soir, c'était à minuit rue d'Athènes
La voyant seule qui se promène, je lui dis: "Mon enfant, bonsoir"
J'ajoutai: "À cette heure indue, que faites-vous donc dans la rue?"
Naïvement, et sans savoir, elle me dit: "Je fais le trottoir"
C'est une gamine charmante, charmante, charmante
Qui possède une âme innocente, innocente
En elle tout est poésie, poésie
Elle répond au joli nom d'Aspasie
Devant la blancheur et l'éclat de son cou plus blanc que l'albâtre
Je lui dis: "Quel coup de théâtre, quel coup du ciel, quel coup d'état!"
"Oh!", fit-elle d'un p'tit air honnête, "Vous n'connaissez que mon coup d'tête
Mais vous serez chipé, je l'crains, quand vous connaîtrez mon coup de rein!"
C'est une gamine charmante, charmante, charmante
Qui possède une âme innocente, innocente
En elle tout est poésie, poésie
Elle répond au joli nom d'Aspasie

Come on and take it by my side
Come on and take a free ride!
All over the country, I'm seeing the same
Nobody's winning, at this type of game
We got to do better, it's time to begin
You know all the answers
Must come from within
Chorus

Come on and take a free ride yea, yea, yea, yea......
