It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'N' Roll)
Composer(s): Ronald Belford Scott; Malcolm Mitchell Young; Angus McKinnon Young
First release by: AC/DC - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists
Ridin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stop in all the by-ways
Playin' rock 'n' roll
Gettin' robbed
Gettin' stoned
Gettin' beat up
Broken boned
Gettin' had
Gettin' took
I tell you folks
It's harder than it looks
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you think it's easy doin' one night stands
Try playin' in a rock roll band
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
Hotel, motel
Make you wanna cry
Lady do the hard sell
Know the reason why
Gettin' old
Gettin' grey
Gettin' ripped off
Under-paid
Gettin' sold
Second hand
That's how it goes
Playin' in a band
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out it's rough and mean
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
Well, it's a long way
It's a long way, (they tell me)
It's a long way, such a long way

C'est Noël
C'est Noël
Composer(s): Michel Rivard - Claude Meunier
Performer(s): Michel Rivard
C'est Noël car il neige dans la tête
Partout, partout les flocons sont réunis
C'est Noël et pour pas que tu t'embêtes
Voici pour toi ce joli rubis
À minuit nous irons à la messe d'minuit
Pour prier Jésus notre seul n'ami
Et après nous irons chez mon oncle René
Qui paraît qui fait du maudit bon pâté
C'est Noël car il neige dans mon coeur
Les flocons grondent de bonheur
Les sapins entonnent les clameurs
Car dans la crèche ronronne le sauveur
Et après pour digérer le réveillon
Dans le boggey nous te blottirerons
Comme le boeuf dans la crèche du divin poupon
Je soufflerai à travers ton manchon
C'est Noël car il neige sur ma foi
Oui je crois qu'il mourira en croix
C'est Noël et j'espère qu'à minuit
Oh ma chérie, je serai ton seul messie
Oui ma chérie, je serai ton seul messie
Merci beaucoup!

It's A Long Road
It's A Long Road
Composer(s): Jerry Goldsmith; Hal Shaper
Performer(s): Dan Hill; Tony Anderson
It's a long road
When you're on your own
And it hurts when
They tear your dreams apart
And every new town
Just seems to bring you down
Trying to find peace of mind
Can break your heart
It's a real war
Right outside your front door I tell ya
Out where they'll kill ya
You could use a friend
Where the road is
That's the place for me
Where I'm me in my own space
Where I'm free that's the place
I wanna be
'Cause the road is long yeah
Each step is only the beginning
No breaks just heartaches
Oh man is anybody winning
It's a long road
And it's hard as hell
Tell me what do you do
To survive
When they draw first blood
That's just the start of it
Day and night you gotta fight
To keep alive
It's a long road ...

C'est La Nuit De Noël
Performer(s): Nicole Martin
C'est la nuit de Noël
Je t'attends chez moi
Et minuit vient de sonner
Tu n'es pas arrivé
Les flocons de neige
Tombent sur les toits
C'est la nuit de Noël
Et tu n'arrives pas
C'est la nuit de Noël
Je comptais sur toi
Le sapin illuminé
Me semble insensé
Cette nuit s'achève
Emportant les rêves
C'est la nuit de Noël
Mais tu ne viendras pas

It's A Lonely World
It’s A Lonely World
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb; Red Stewart
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Leon Redbone
It’s a Lonely World when you’re all alone
When there’s no one to share every sorrow and care
When there’s no one to greet you at the close of the day
The sunshine may come in your heart but never comes to stay
It’s a Lonely World when you’re all alone
That’s the way my world is since your gone
There’s no way to count the tears I have shed
And nights I’ve been blue here just thinking of you
Everyone has told me darling I should forget
But your still here in my heart and you know I love you yet
It’s a Lonely World when you’re all alone
That’s the way my world is since your gone
It’s a Lonely World when you’re all alone
When there’s no one to share every sorrow and care
When there’s no one to greet you at the close of the day
The sunshine may come in your heart but never comes to stay
It’s a Lonely World when you’re all alone
That’s the way my world is since your gone

Take Me In Your Arms (Doris Day)
Take Me In Your Arms
Composer(s): Mitchell Parish - Alfred Markush
Performer(s): Doris Day
and multiple other artists
Take me in your arms
Before you take your love away
Take me in your arms
Before we part
Let me thrill again
To your cares of yesterday
Let me fill again
My hungry heart
One hour of gladness
That we knew in the past
One moment's madness
Although it be the last, hold me fast
Blind me with your charms
With all the stardust in the sky
Take me in your arms
And then goodbye

It's A Little Bitty Pissant Country Place
It's A Little Bitty Pissant Country Place
Performer(s): Dolly Parton
It's just a little bitty pissant country place, ain't nothing much to see
no drinking allowed, we get a nice quiet crowd, plain as it can be
It's just a piddly squatin old time country place, ain't nothing to hide at all
just lots of good will, and maybe one small thrill, but there's nothing dirty going on
Nothing dirty going on
We get simple farmers
Local business men
Congress folks from Austin
Young boys looking for sin
And we used to get a lot of rough necks, when the oil boom was high
but pay day would get a little rowdy, thank God the field ran dry
It's just a little bitty pissant country place, nothing much to see
no drinking allowed, we get a nice quiet crowd, plain as it can be
It's just a piddly squatin no time country place, nothing to hide at all
just lots of good will, and maybe one small thrill, but there's nothing dirty going on
I don't hire no married girl, they're not on the ball
They got homes and husbands, they're not stable at all
You know they don't understand a thing about a proper business day
now what's the point in opening up the store if you give the goods away
It's just a little bitty pissant country place, nothing much to see
no drinking allowed, we get a nice quiet crowd, plain as it can be
It's just a piddly squatin no time country place, nothing to hide at all
just lots of good will, and maybe one small thrill, but there's nothing dirty going on
Keep your language clean girls, keep your bedrooms neat
And don't hang around the town cafe and say hi on the street
Mind you P's and Q's and manners, and you don't need no other tools
Cause every girl that lives here knows my special no no rules
Yea every girl that lives here knows Miss Mona's no no rules
Ruby, Ray start up!
Beds are not to be wallowed in, thats the kind of thing that big fatlazy hogs do
And it don't make money!
Betrix!
I won't tolerate no tying my telephone with other peoples business
Eloise honey!
And please don't show us no tattoos no hearts and flowers on your thigh
It's downright tacky
Brands for cattle and that ain't what we're selling at the Snowdust
Do you catch my drift!
I pay the food and the rent and the utilities
you keep your mind on your work responsibilities
don't let your mouth overload your capabilities
and we can get along
Dawn!
Any bad habits you come in with, get rid off right now
Tatte Joe!
I can't stand no chewing gum it looks just like a cow
Lindy Lue!
Any one taking sick leave for to make real sure their sick
And every time you hear that bell, you better get here double quick
And as for pimps, pimps are something you don't need to get your daily business done
Are you listening group
Keep them leaches and blood suckers of the bathrobes, I know how to use a gun
and nobody messes with my girls
and any questions you might have about the way I run this place
don't grip and whine behind my back
just tell me face to face, I'm open minded say it all
then go upstairs and pack, the door's that way
She pays the food and the rent and the utilities
we keep our minds on our work responsibilities
don't let your mouth overload your capabilities
and we can get along
It's just a little bitty pissant country place, nothing much to see
no drinking allowed, we get a nice quiet crowd, plain as it can be
It's just a piddly squatin no time country place, nothing to hide at all
just lots of good will, and maybe one small thrill, but there's nothing dirty going on
It's just a little bitty pissant country place, nothing much to see
no drinking allowed, we get a nice quiet crowd, plain as it can be
It's just a piddly squatin no time country place, nothing to hide at all
just lots of good will, and maybe one small thrill
just lots of good will, and maybe one small thrill
just lots of good will, and maybe one small thrill
but there's nothing dirty going on

Following, following yonder star
Christmas bells are ringing
All across the land they chime
Heralding this happy time
Ding, dong, ding, dong,
Christmas bells are ringing

It's A Jungle Out There
It's A Jungle Out There
Performer(s): Randy Newman
It's a jungle out there
Disorder and confusion everywhere
No one seems to care
Well I do
Hey, who's in charge here?
It's a jungle out there
Poison in the very air we breathe
Do you know what's in the water that you drink?
Well I do, and it's amazing
People think I'm crazy, 'cause I worry all the time
If you paid attention, you'd be worried too
You better pay attention
Or this world we love so much might just kill you
I could be wrong now, but I don't think so!
'Cause it's a jungle out there

Hark! How the bells
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say
Throw cares away

Bringing good cheer
To young and old
Meek and the bold
Ding dong ding dong
That is their song
With joyful ring
All caroling
One seems to hear
Words of good cheer
From everywhere
Filling the air
Oh, how they pound
Raising the sound
O'er hill and dale
Telling the tale
Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
On on they send
On without end
Their joyful tone
To every home
Ding, dong, ding, ding...... dong!

It's A Jungle
It's A Jungle
Composer(s): Pope; Staples
Performer(s): Rough Trade
Competition's really tough
Square those shoulder pads
Curl those lips with the cruel slash of scarlet
Prowl the streets like a tigress
Hey sport it's a jungle out there
It's a jungle, it's a jungle out
It's a jungle, it's a jungle out
It's a jungle, it's a cat fight out there
Claw your way to the top
Drown 'em in clouds of cigarette smoke
Make 'em feel like dirt under your heel
Lure 'em with your animal magnetism

All You Wanna Do Is Dance
All You Wanna Do Is Dance
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel
Oh, baby you don't get turned on by the radio
Oh, baby you got nothin' to play on your stereo
"Why don't the Beatles get back together?
Why don't nobody sing of romance?
Oh, baby, all you wanna do is dance
Oh, baby I think you are lost in the seventies
Oh, baby the music she ain't what she used to be
You don't understand what they're saying
Givin' it ev'ry chance
Oh, baby, all you wanna do is dance
Well, you wish you were back in the good old days
When tomatoes were cheaper
And you never heard the words of your favorite songs
Through a three inch speaker
And you never messed around with dangerous drugs
You were all getting sick on beer
And you didn't get any unless you went steady and made out for a year
You can hide away honey in your rock 'n' roll dreams
An' you can stand by your blue suede shoes
But the party is over and I'm getting tired of waiting for you
Oh, baby where are the oldies they used to play
Oh, baby you want to crawl back into yesterday
You don't want to deal with the future
You don't want to make any plans
Oh, baby, all you wanna do is dance
Oh, baby, all you wanna do is dance

Composer(s): Ronnie Scott; Steven Wolfe
First release by: Bonnie Tyler - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists
Titles In Other Languages:
1978 - Notti Bianche
2004 - Si Tout S'arrête
It's a heartache, nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late, hits you when you're down
It's a fool's game, nothing but a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain, feeling like a clown
It's a heartache, nothing but a heartache
Love until your arms break, then he lets you down
It ain't right with love to share when you find he doesn't care for you
It ain't wise to need someone as much as I depended on you
It's a heartache, nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late, hits you when you're down
It's a fool's game, nothing but a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain, feeling like a clown
It ain't right with love to share when you find he doesn't care for you
It ain't wise to need someone as much as I depended on you
It's a heartache, nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late, hits you when you're down
It's a fool's game, nothing but a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain, feeling like a clown

Love Me, Love Me, Love
Love Me, Love Me, Love
Composer(s): Frank Mills
Performer(s): Frank Mills
Standing on the corner
Passing the time away
I thought I heard the organ grinder
Singing as he played
He had a little monkey
With a little cup of tim
And he dance for joy
When someone put a penny in
He sang, love me, love me, love
Why did you ever leave me, girl?
If you love me, love me, love
Why did you go away?
And if you love me, love me, love
Why did you ever leave me, girl?
If you love me, love me, love
Why did you ever go?
I couldn't help but wonder
How the old man got his song
What a tragic tale of loneliness
How fate had done him wrong
What ever made the old man
Wanna brave the cold and rains
And tell the world his story
Till death could ease the pain
He sang, love me, love me, love
Why did you ever leave me, girl?
If you love me, love me, love
Why did you go away?
If you love me, love me, love
Why did you ever leave me, girl?
If you love me, love me, love
Why did you ever go?
I went back to the corner
To hear the organ play
A policeman said the old man
Died one cold November day
I waited for a minute
They sadly walked away
Though I coundn't see the old man
I'm sure I heard him sing
If you love me, love me, love
Why did you ever leave me, girl?
If you love me, love me, love
Why did you go away?
If you love me, love me, love
Why did you ever leave me, girl?
If you love me, love me, love
Why did you ever go?

Si Tout S'arrête
Si Tout S'arrête

(Italian Version: Notti Bianche - 1978)
Composer(s): Ronnie Scott; Steven Wolfe; Kareen Antonn; Emmanuel Pribys
Performer(s): Bonnie Tyler & Kareen Antonn - 2004
Si tout s'arrête, si pour vous tout s'arrête
Dis lui que je suis prête
Que je ne l'attend pas
Même si tu l'aimes, même si vraiment tu l'aimes
Partir où il m'entraine
Ne m'interesse pas
It's a heartache, nothing but a heartache
Love him, 'till your heart breaks
Then he lets you down
À trop vouloir tout partager
On finit par s'éloigner
De tout
Il est plus sage qu'on abandonne
Qu'au bout du compte je lui pardonne
Tout
Si tout s'arrête, si pour vous tout s'arrête
Dis lui que je suis prête
Que je ne l'attend pas
Même si je l'aime, même si pourtant je l'aime
Partir où il t'entraine
Ne suffira pas
It ain't right with love to share
When you find he doesn't care
For you
It ain't wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you
Si tout s'arrête, si pour vous tout s'arrête
Dis lui que je suis prête
Que je ne l'attend pas
