Jump Jump


Jump Jump
Composer(s): Debbie Harry; Chris Stein
Performer(s): Debbie Harry



Wearing stripes, arms up high, as tall as can be
Nothing more than a frozen smile to see
In the cage he'll defy all that's logical
Under lights, stay up all night with his formula
In the grip in the step of potential rage
Oh it's hip, formulated to fascinate
If you do it like this: jump! jump!
Do it like this: jump! jump!
She moves faster than any eye can see
Moving parts that aren't moved normally
In the haze what it isn't is what you see
On and off, up and down, like a yo yo string
Try to do it like this: jump! jump!
No, no, like this: jump! jump!
Do it for a kiss: jump! jump!
Do it like this: jump! jump!

They shine, we shield our eyes to see what is the dazzling and the enchanted

They whine "come closer to me"
That is the dizzying, the dancing sorcery
Jump little doggie
Do what she say
Jump jump jump
Jump little doggie
Do what she say
Jump jump jump
Jump little doggie
Do what she say
Jump jump jump
Jump little doggie
Do what she say
Jump jump jump

Whoa whoa, my little doggie, he does a trick
Ruff ruff!
He went to school to learn how to sit
We were excited, delighted having fun
As we decended the exit, got off the bus
We got friends, we got fans now, and this is proof
Can you tell me why that guy is on the roof?
Oh ho, do it like this: jump! jump!
Try it like this: jump! jump!
Do it more like this: jump! jump!

Jump little doggie
Do what she say
Jump jump jump
Jump little doggie
Do what she say
Jump jump jump
Jump little doggie
Do what she say
Jump jump jump
Jump little doggie
Do what she say
Jump jump jump

Toolie-Oolie-Doolie


Toolie-Oolie-Doolie
Composer(s): Beul - Horton
Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters



When a fella meets a girl in Switzerland
There’s a certain thing he’s gotta do
He can never never take her by the hand
Till he learns to toolie-oolie-doo

When a Swiss boy goes calling
On a Swiss miss in June
Toolie-oolie-doolie-doo
He sings this pretty tune
And he charms her like magic
When he yodels this tune
Toolie-oolie-doolie-doo
Beneath the alpine moon

The echo goes higher, and higher
And soon their hearts are both on fire

When you get lonely
Now you know what to do
Toolie-oolie-doolie-doo
And make your dreams come true

The echo goes higher, and higher
And soon their hearts are both on fire

When you get lonely
Now you know what to do
Toolie-oolie-doolie-doo
And make your dreams come true

Toolie-oolie-doolie-doo
And make your dreams come true

I Know It's Over


I Know It's Over
Composer(s): C.A. Rossi; G. Calabrese; A. Armato
Performer(s): Julio Iglesias; Renzo Arbore



I know it's over
You said it's over
For me and you

Just for a moment
My heart surrendered
To someone new

How can you leave me
When you still need me
Inside your life

Just let me love you
With one more chance to
I'll make it right

Oh, it's so crazy
Why can't you see
Don't make our love just
A memory

I know it's over
For you it's over
But not for me

Took The Car


Took The Car
Performer(s): John Mayall



Took the car and drove off the hills
Saw the flashing lights and saw them die
I left behind society that kills
Me and Nancy waved them all goood-bye
I took the car the sun was going down

Saw the changing colours of the sky
An old Apache canyon our camp-ground

Secure and safe together made us sigh

Took the car and filled the trunk with wood
Took it back and made of it a fire

To be a child again would be so good
Me and Nancy warm in our desire
Took the car and drove it everywhere
Through the land where all the west began
Desert wind was blowing in our hair

Me and Nancy running hand in hand

I Know It


I Know It
Composer(s): Madonna
Performer(s): Madonna



I don't know why I thought that I could make you happy
These tears I cry for you are so hopeless, yeah
I don't know why I thought that we were going somewhere
But you grabbed your coat and you were out the door
And now I know you don't care

I know you're gonna take your love and run
I know you think I'm the foolish one
I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye

I used to think you were my pretty angel comin' down
Well now you've just proven me wrong
What about the letters we have written
All the things we've said and done
I'll just stand here while you count the battles you have won

I know you're gonna take your love and run
I know you think I'm the foolish one
I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye
I know it

But I'm not gonna cry for you
'Cause that's what you want me to do
No I'm not gonna cry for you anymore

I know you're gonna take your love and run
I know you think I'm the foolish one
I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye
I know it

Take your love and run from me
Is this the way love's supposed to be
You don't think that I can see
But you can't fool me

But I'm not gonna cry for you
'Cause that's what you want me to do
No I'm not gonna cry for you anymore

I know you're gonna take your love and run
I know you think I'm the foolish one
I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye
I know it

Too Young To Go Steady


Too Young To Go Steady
Composer(s): Jimmy McHugh - Harold Adamson
First release: Nat "King" Cole - 1956
Covered by multiple other artists



Too young to go steady
Too young, I hear her say
She says we're not ready
But then why am I feeling this way?

Too young, so she tells me
She says we'll have to wait
Why wait till it may be too late?

Can she realize she drives me wild?
Is she made of stone?
Must she always act just like a child?
Won't she ever own up, we're grown up?

Someday she'll be sorry
Someday just wait and see
She'll wish she'd gone steady with me

Can she realize she drives me wild?
Is she made of stone?
Must she always act just like a child?
Won't she ever own up, we're grown up?

Someday she'll be sorry
Someday just wait and see
She'll wish she'd gone steady with me

I Know I Got More Than My Share


I Know I Got More Than My Share
Composer(s): Grant Clarke; Howard Johnson



To every one beneath the sun, God sends his blessings down
Like dew they fall upon us all, in every home they're found
To some a name, to others fame, His gifts are every where
The poor man and the rich a like, will both receive their share

Through life we go and never know what future years may hold
The skies of gray may fade away and some day turn to gold
So don't complain there's naught to gain, just learn to live and love
We all must wait to learn our fate, and trust to Him above

God gives the wise men their wisdom, sends all the poets their dreams
To father and mother their love for each other we all get a share, so it seems
I thought that I was forgotten
My life was an empty affair
But He thought of me too, and when God gave me you
I know I got more than my share

Jump Back


Jump Back
Composer(s): Rufus Thomas
Performer(s): The Spencer Davis Group;
and various other artists



Last night, the night before (jump back, baby, jump back)
Twenty four robbers was at my door (jump back, baby, jump back)
I got up to let 'em in (jump back, baby, jump back)
Hit 'em on the head with a rollin' pin (jump back, baby, jump back)

Downtown sycamore town, (jump back, baby, jump back)
Billy goat laid his poppa down (jump back, baby, jump back)

Oh, jump back, baby, jump back
Oh, jump back, baby, jump back
Jump, jump

Well, I went back home to get some sleep (jump back, baby, jump back)
I give the bed bugs the time to creep (jump back, baby, jump back)
If one should bite before I wake (jump back, baby, jump back)
Hope the world enjoys the break (jump back, baby, jump back)

Oh, jump back, baby, jump back
Oh, jump back, baby, jump back
Jump, jump

Paid 5 dollars for an old grey horse (jump back, baby, jump back)
Horse wouldn't pull, so I swapped for a bull (jump back, baby, jump back)
Bull wouldn't holler so I sold it for a dollar (jump back, baby, jump back)
The dollar I wouldn't need so I throwed it in the grass (jump back, baby, jump back)
The grass wouldn't grow, so I chopped it with a hoe (jump back, baby, jump back)
The hoe wouldn't chop, so I took it to the shop (jump back, baby, jump back)
The shop made money like the bees make honey (jump back, baby, jump back)

Oh, jump back, baby, jump back
Oh, jump back, baby, jump back
Jump, jump

You gotta jump back, baby, every single night
You gotta jump back, baby, every single night
Why don't you jump back, baby?
You gotta jump back, baby

Too Young To Be One


Too Young To Be One
Performer(s): The Turtles



There's something that I just can't seem to
Get off my mind and it's this, girl
We've let it go too far
We're too young to have tied ourselves to
Each others' arms
We've forgotten who we are

I loved her; the two of us were one plus one
One together, but I found
That two cannot stay one, stay one forever

There's something that I just can't seem to
Get off my mind, and it's this, girl
We've let it go too far
We're too young to have tied ourselves to
Each others' arms
We've forgotten who we are

There's something that I just can't seem to
Get off my mind, and it's this, girl
We've let it go too far
We're too young to have tied ourselves to
Each others' minds!
We've forgotten who we are
We've forgotten who we are
We've forgotten who we are

Too young to have tied ourselves
Have tied ourselves
Too young to have tied ourselves
Have tied ourselves...

I Know Him So Well


I Know Him So Well
Composer(s): Benny Andersson; Tim Rice; Bjorn Ulvaeus
First release by: Elaine Paige & Barbara Dickson - 1984
Covered by multiple other artists



Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
From wanting far too much for far too long
Looking back, I could have done it differently
Won a few more moments, who can tell?
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know, I know him well

Wasn't it good, Wasn't it fine
Isn't it madness he can't be mine
But in the end, he needs a little more than before
Security, he needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well

No one in your life is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though I move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide
Looking back, I could have played it differently
Learned about the man before I fell
But I was ever so much younger then

Wasn't it good (oh so good), Wasn't it fine (so fine)
Isn't it madness he can't be mine

Didn't I know how it would go
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart

Wasn't it fine
Isn't it madness he can't be mine
But in the end, he needs a little more than before
Security, he needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well
It took some to understand him
Ooo ooh I know him so well

Too Young


Too Young
((Dutch Version: Te Jong (Bart Ekkers))
Composer(s): Sylvia Dee - Sid Lippman
First release: Nat King Cole - 1951
Covered by multiple other artists



They try to tell us we're too young
Too young to really be in love
They say that love's a word
A word we've only heard
But can't begin to know the meaning of

And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all

And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all

I Know A Story
Composer(s): Country Washburne; Ted Weems
Performer(s): Spike Jones



I know a story, of love undying
It is a story of my love for you
A tragic story of how I'm tryin'
To make you love me just as I love you
At night I lie awake and try to make my heart behave
But I can't forget that since we met I've been your slave
I know a story of love undying
It is a story of my love for you

Jumbo


Jumbo
Composer(s): Nicolas Peyrac
Performer(s): Nicolas Peyrac



Il y a du brouillard sur Paris
Je n'atteindrai jamais Orly
Et dire que les cons devant
Roulent en prenant tout leur temps
Le patron a dû rentrer
Il m'aura fait demander
Mais y'en a marre de ramper
De dire amen toute la journée
Tout en risquant de se faire sacquer
Pour qui, pour quoi
Pour un peu plus de cent mille anciens francs par mois

Je monterai dans le Jumbo
M'allongerai près du hublot
L'hôtesse me dira bonjour
Avec des yeux brûlants d'amour
Et puis je m'envolerai
Adieu la France à jamais
Je referai l'Eldorado avec le soleil sur la peau
Un coin de terre à Mexico, plus de métro
Rien que moi, la valise et l'argent du gros lot

Et dire que ça fait 20 ans
Que je compte tout cet argent
Et dire que pendant 20 ans
Je voyais les billets gagnants
Rapporter 200 millions
À tous les clampins Dupont
Et dire que pendant 20 ans
Je n'ai pas eu un billet gagnant
La modique somme de 3 francs foutait le camp
Chaque semaine 52 fois par an

Je vois les pistes d'Orly
Mon Dieu faites donc qu'ils m'oublient
Les flics de l'aéroport
N'ont pas l'air de savoir encore
Que la loterie c'est moi,
Que je ne reviendrai pas
Ils tamponnent mon passeport
Dans 10 minutes je serai à bord
Reste la fouille et j'aurai le corps un peu plus froid
Pour l'instant mon coeur ne sait plus comment il bat

Il y a du brouillard sur Orly
Je vois les lumières de Paris
Blotti contre le hublot
Je m'endors jusqu'à Mexico

I Know A Place


I Know A Place
German Version: Come On My Boy
Composer(s): Tony Hatch
First release by: Petula Clark - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



Every day when the work is behind you
And the shop and the store
Put the lock on the door
Just get away
Where your worries won't find you
If you like, well I'll tell you more

Don't let the day get the better of you
When the evening comes
There's so much to do
You better put on your best
And wear a smile
Just come along with me awhile
'Cause I tell you

I know a place
Where the music is fine
And the lights are always low
I know a place where we can go

At the door there's a man who will greet you
Then you go downstairs
To some tables and chairs
Soon I'm sure you'll be tappin' your feet
Because the beat is the greatest there

All around there are girls and boys
It's a swingin' place
A cellar full of noise
It's got an atmosphere
Of its own somehow
You gotta come along right now
'Cause I tell you

I know a place
Where the music is fine
And the lights are always low
I know a place where we can go

Well, all around there are girls and boys
It's a swingin' place
A cellar full of noise
It's got an atmosphere
Of its own somehow
You gotta come along right now
'Cause I tell you

I know a place
Where the music is fine
And the lights are always low
I know a place where we can go

I know a place where we can go
I know a place where the lights are low
You're gonna love this place I know
I know a place where we can go

Too Soon to Tell


Too Soon to Tell
Performer(s): Bonnie Raitt



So now there's somebody new
These dreams I've been dreaming
Have all fallen through
You say I'll be fine
It only takes time
Someday
That may be true
But it's too soon to tell
Ah, it's too soon to say
Maybe some day I'll be able
To wish you well
But right now it's just
Too soon to tell

It's all for the best
So you say
You never intended
To hurt me this way
You want to hear
I won't drown in my tears
Well, baby the best that I can say
Is it's too soon to tell
Ah, it's too soon to say
Maybe some day I'll be able
To wish you well
But right now
It's just too soon to tell
Well right now
It's just too soon to tell

Ooh...
Too soon to tell.....
