The Wall Street Shuffle
The Wall Street Shuffle
Composer(s): Eric Stewart - Graham Gouldman
Performer(s): 10cc
Do the Wall Street shuffle
Hear the money rustle
Watch the greenbacks tumble
Feel the sterling crumble
You need a yen to make mark
If you want to make money
You'll need the luck to make a buck
If you want to be a Getty
Rothschild
You've got to be cool on Wall Street
You've got to be cool on Wall Street
When your index is low
Dow Jones ain't got time for the bums
They wind up on skid row with holes in their pockets
They plead with you, buddy can you spare a dime
But you ain't got the time
Doing the
Doing the
Oh Howard Hughes, did your money make you better
Are you waiting for the hour when you can screw me
'Cause you're big enough
To do the Wall Street shuffle
Let your money hustle
Bet you'd sell your mother
You can't buy another
Doing the
Doing the
You buy and sell
You wheel and deal
But you're living on instinct
You get a tip
You follow it
And you make a big killing
On Wall Street

'k Sta op, 'k duw je even weg
je geeft geen krimp, zoals gewoonlijk
't is koud, ik dek je toe uit zorgelijkheid
zoals gewoonlijk
mijn hand streelt over jouw haar, ondanks mezelf
zoals gewoonlijk
en jij, jij draait je om
zoals gewoonlijk
't is tijd ik kleed mij aan, sluip de kamer uit
zoals gewoonlijk
alleen een snel ontbijt, ik ben te laat
zoals gewoonlijk
doodstil verlaat ik het huis, buiten is 't grijs
zoals gewoonlijk
en kil, ik knoop mijn jas dicht
zoals gewoonlijk
zoals altijd de hele dag
speel ik het spel, ik doe alsof
zoals altijd blijf ik beleefd
zoals altijd lach ik niet mee
zoals altijd sla ik bijna door
zoals gewoonlijk
en dan, dan vevliegt de dag, ik kom weer thuis
zoals gewoonlijk
jij, jij bent op stap, nog lang niet terug
zoals gewoonlijk
alleen stap ik in bed, die lege plek
zoals gewooonlijk
mijn ogen, ze blijven droog
zoals gewoonlijk
zoals altijd de hele nacht
speel ik het spel ik doe alsof
zoals altijd kom jij ook thuis
zoals altijd wacht ik op jou
zoals altijd vraag jij hoe 't gaat
zoals gewoonlijk
ja, zoals altijd kleed jij je uit
zoals altijd kom je bij mij
zoals altijd krijg ik een zoen
zoals gewoonlijk
ja, zoals altijd doen wij alsof
zoals altijd vrij ik met jou
zoals altijd doen wij alsof
zoals gewoonlijk

The Walk
The Walk
Composer(s): Robert Smith - Lol Tolhurst
First release by: The Cure - 1983
Covered by multiple other artists
I called you after midnight
Then ran until my heart burst
I passed the howling woman
And stood outside your door
We walked around the lake
And woke up in the rain
And everyone turned over
Troubled in their dreams again
Visiting time is over
And so we walk away
And both play dead then cry out loud
Why we always cry this way?
I kissed you in the water
And made your dry lips sing
I saw you look
Like a Japanese baby
In an instant I remembered everything
I called you after midnight
Then ran until my heart burst
I passed the howling woman
And stood outside your door
I kissed you in the water
And made your dry lips sing
I saw you look
Like a Japanese baby
In an instant I remembered everything

Ma si' io sono qui
A dirvi cose per me importanti
E voi non lo sapete
Se son parole o sentimenti
Pero' non ha importanza
Se c'e' chi parla di incoerenza
Perche' io sono io a modo mio
Ho fatto quel che ho voluto
Sola con me guardando avanti
Rimpianti ne ho troppo pochi
Non e' il caso che li racconti
Ho avuto non ho avuto
Tutto perfetto tutto sbagliato
Pero' io sono io a modo mio
E anche se ho pianto un po'
Quell'esperienza mi ha fatto bene
Ho avuto chi non sbaglia mai
Ed ho saputo sputarli fuori
Io sono io e a modo mio non cambio mai
Ma si' io sono qui
A dirvi cose scritte da un altro
Pero' per darle a voi
Io le traduco le porto dentro
Cosi' non per vantarmi
Nessuno puo' rimproverarmi
Perche' io sono io a modo mio
Davanti a me c'e' un'altra idea
Piena o deserta io non lo so
Dentro di me la vita mia
Deserto fine di si' di no
Ma io sono io e a modo mio non cambio mai
C'e' un'altra idea mi dicesti
Ringrazio Dio d'essere io a modo mio

Oh baby don't it feel like heaven right now
Don't it feel like something from a dream
Yeah I've never known nothing quite like this
Don't it feel like tonight might never be again
We know better than to try and pretend
Baby no one could'a ever told me 'bout this
I said yeah yeah
The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part
Well yeah i might have chased a couple women around
All it ever got me was down
Then there were those that made me feel good
But never as good as I'm feeling right now
Baby you're the only one that's ever known how
To make me wanna live like I wanna live now
I said yeah yeah
The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you get one more yard
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part
Oh don't let it kill you baby, don't let it get to you
Don't let it kill you baby, don't let it get to you

Vivi, siempre vivi y ha sido así, mi vida
Entera Jamás, me arrepentí y
Fuí feliz, a mi manera
Yo siempre quise más un poco más
Como fuera
Y si me equivoqué fue a mi manera
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exception
Yo siempre quise más un poco más
Como fuera
Y si me equivoqué fue a mi manera
Con el amor, cuanto jugué
Sé que perdí, sé que gané
Pero la vida es siempre así y si lloré
También reí
Pero vivi, siempre viví a mi manera
For what is a man, what has he got
If not himself, then he has not
Pero la vida es siempre así y si
Lloré, también reí
The record shows, we took the blows
And did it my way
Dejé, sé que dejé por donde
Fuí, el alma entera
Errores cometí, pero al final pagué la cuenta
To think we've done all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Y si me equivoqué fue a mi manera
Yes Julio, it was our way

The Waiter And The Porter And The Upstairs Maid
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Bing Crosby, Mary Martin, Jack Teagarden
and multiple other artists
(BC)
As your genial host may I offer a toast
To the wine buying guest on my right
(Hooray for the wine buyer)
Yes drag out the cooking sherry for the old colonel
May his bank account grow heavy laden with dough
May he spend it in here every night
(Every night)
Seeing this night in its glory
You people so loyal, so true
Puts me in mind of a story
(MM)
Tell us about it, pray do-o-o-o-o-o
(BC)
The people in the ballroom were stuffy and arty
So I began to get just a little bit frayed
I sneaked into the kitchen, I dug me a party
The waiter
(JT)
And the porter
(MM)
And the second storey maid.
(BC)
I peeked into the parlour to see what was a-hatchin’
In time to hear the hostess suggest a charade
(MM)
But who was in the pantry a-laughin’ an’ scratchin’
(BC)
Oh.The waiter
(JT)
And the porter
(MM)
And the upstairs maid
(JT)
When they heard the music that the orchestra played
(MM)
The waiter and the porter grabbed a-hold of the maid
(BC)
Then they all proceeded to go into a clog
(All)
Hot diggedy dog.
(BC)
If ever I’m invited to some fuddy-duddy’s
I ain’t-a-gonna watch any harlequinade
(JT)
You’ll find him in the kitchen applaudin’ his buddies
(BC)
The waiter
(JT)
And the porter
(MM)
And the upstairs maid
(BC)
Well pardon me folks the roast is carved
The wine is served, why you look half starved
(JT)
Pardon me sir, may we be free
(JT & MM)
The kitchen guard is havin’ a jamboree
(MM)
I went and got a dish pan to use as a cymbal
(BC)
The porter found the regular glass that he played
(JT)
The fingers of the waiter were each in a thimble
(ALL)
You should-a heard the music that the combination made
(BC & MM)
Marchin’ through the kitchen to the pantry and back
Why, man, you should-a seen us, we were ballin’ the jack
Once a half an hour passed without any call
(JT)
Jack we had a ball
(MM)
The waltzes and mazurkas we hate ‘em, we spurn ‘em
(JT)
We got a lot of rhythms we wanna hear played
(BC)
Yes and we know who to go to when we want to learn ‘em
(All)
The waiter and the porter and the upstairs maid

Comme Des Roses
Comme Des Roses
((English Version: Like Roses (by Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Tout est venu si vite
Tout a été si grand, si beau, si fort, petite
Ma vie s'est embrasée d'une joie insolite
La joie simple de se comprendre
A travers des gestes et des mots tendres
Tout nous a pris en flammes
Illuminant nos yeux, nos coeurs, nos corps, nos âmes
En peu de jours tu es devenue femme
En peu de temps tu as changé mon existence
En insufflant en moi de ton adolescence
Plus rien ne m'est hostile
Moi qui n'étais sans toi qu'une forme immobile
Je coule dans tes bras comme des eaux faciles
Dociles, des eaux tranquilles
Tout me semble limpide
J'étais cerné d'ennui, de lois, de vide
Le bonheur est venu pour me servir de guide
Me tirer d'un passé qui sombre
Et m'encourager à sortir de l'ombre
Tout est fait d'harmonie
Notre ciel est plus haut, plus clair, plus pur, ma mie
Moi qui ne savais plus que faire avec ma vie
Moi qui vivais la nuit, moi qui dormais le jour
Je reprends goût à toutes choses
Et veux mettre à tes pieds
Chacun de mes instants
Comme des roses
Comme des roses mon amour

Rock You Like A Hurricane
Rock You Like A Hurricane
Composer(s): Klaus Meine;
Herman Rarebell; Rudolf Schenker
Performer(s): Scorpions;
and various other artists
It's early morning
The sun comes out
Last night was shaking
And pretty loud
My cat is purring
And scratches my skin
So what is wrong
With another sin
The bitch is hungry
She needs to tell
So give her inches
And feed her well
More days to come
New places to go
I've got to leave
It's time for a show
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
My body is burning
It starts to shout
Desire is coming
It breaks out loud
Lust is in cages
Till storm breaks loose
Just have to make it
With someone I choose
The night is calling
I have to go
The wolf is hungry
He runs to the show
He's licking his lips
He's ready to win
On the hunt tonight
For love at first sting
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
It's early morning
The sun comes out
Last night was shaking
And pretty loud
My cat is purring
It scratches my skin
So what is wrong
With another sin
The night is calling
I have to go
The wolf is hungry
He runs to show
He's licking his lips
He's ready to win
On the hunt tonight
For love at first sting
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane

Comme Des Étrangers
Comme Des Étrangers
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Un peu par lâcheté, un peu par lassitude
Sur la terre brûlée de tous nos jours heureux
Un peu par vanité, un peu par habitude
De peur de rester seuls, nous vivons tous les deux
Comme des inconnus qui n'ont rien à se dire
Comme des gens pressés qui se voient par hasard
Échangeant quelques mots dans un pâle sourire
Avec rien dans le cœur et rien dans le regard
Il ne nous reste rien que regrets et remords
Rien qu'un amour déjà mort
Nous ne sommes, quoi qu'on fasse
Que deux êtres face à face
Qui vivent comme des étrangers
Mais qu'est-il advenu du couple qui s'aimait?
Nous ne le saurons jamais
Car nous restons côte à côte
En nous rejetant les fautes
Et vivons comme des étrangers
Peut-être par pudeur, peut-être par faiblesse
Nous n'abordons jamais ce problème important
Et ridiculement figés par la détresse
Espérant l'impossible, nous tuons le temps
Le temps qui sûrement nous dévore et ravage
Ce rien de pureté contenu dans nos cœurs
Et nous sommes deux fous qui, croyant être sages
Se gorgent d'un passé qui lentement se meurt
Il ne nous reste rien que regrets et remords
Rien qu'un amour déjà mort
Nous ne sommes, quoi qu'on fasse
Que deux êtres face à face
Qui vivent comme des étrangers
Mais qu'est-il advenu du couple qui s'aimait?
Nous ne le saurons jamais
Car nous restons côte à côte
En nous rejetant les fautes
Et vivons comme des étrangers

Rock the night away
And when the groove is dead and gone (yeah)
You know that love survives

I wanna rock with you
I wanna groove with you

Comme Dans Les Dessins De Folon
Comme Dans Les Dessins De Folon
Performer(s): Yves Duteil
Comme dans les dessins de Folon
Ceux qu'on aimait quittent la Terre
Le corps lourd et l'âme légère
Un peu plus graves à l'horizon
Dans leur pardessus de béton
Ceux qu'on aimait nagent en silence
Dans le temps sage de l'absence
Comme dans les dessins de Folon
On pourrait presque les toucher
De l'autre côté du papier
Fantômes gris des jours de peine
En long cortège de semaines
À rêver loin dans leur lumière
On pourrait presque enfin se taire
Comme dans les dessins de Folon
Il y a du rose et du vert pâle
Et des souvenirs bleu d'opale
Dans un champ vide de coton
Comme des bulles de savon
Prisonniers de la transparence
Ceux qu'on aimait doucement dansent
Comme dans les dessins de Folon
On pourrait presque s'envoler
Dans la lenteur de leur passé
Frôler d'un long battement d'ailes
L'exil sans fin qui les appelle
À rêver loin dans leur mystère
On pourrait presque enfin se perdre
Comme dans les dessins de Folon
Ceux qu'on aimait nagent à l'envers
Oiseaux de l'eau, poissons de l'air
Perdent le fil de nos saisons
Dans la brume de leur prison
Ceux qu'on aimait toujours s'effacent
Derrière les voiles de l'espace
Comme dans les dessins de Folon
Un jour on voudra leur parler
De l'autre côté du papier
On rêvera d'aubes plus pâles
D'éternité couleur d'opale
Un jour on se laissera faire
On glissera dans leur lumière
Comme dans les dessins de Folon...

Rock With The Caveman
Rock With The Caveman
Composer(s): Lionel Bart; Michael Pratt;
Tommy Steele; Frank Chacksfield
Performer(s): Tommy Steele;
Atlas Fret; Big Audio Dynamite
The old-time cave dweller lived in a cave
Here's what he did we he wanted a rave
He took a stick and he drew on the wall
Man, a fellah had to settle for
Rock with the caveman
Roll with the caveman
Shake with the caveman
Baby, make with the caveman, oh boy
Shake with the caveman
Stalactites, stalagmiite
Hold your baby very tight
His way with women was rather neat
He'd love a girl right off her feet
You know the lyric writers would never lie
It's where they got the sayin' "starry eyed"
Rock with the caveman
Roll with the caveman
Shake with the caveman
Make with the caveman, oh boy
Shake with the caveman
Stalactites, stalagmiite
Hold your baby very tight
Piltdown poppa sings this song
"Archaeology's done me wrong"
The British Museum's got my head
Most unfortunate 'cause I ain't dead
Rock with the caveman
Roll with the caveman
Shake with the caveman
Break with the caveman
Make with the caveman
C-a-v-e-m-a-n, Caveman!
