Pack Up Your Troubles (In Your Old Kit Bag)


Pack Up Your Troubles (In Your Old Kit Bag)
Composer(s): George Asaf; Felix Powell
Performer(s): Spike Jones;
and various other artists



Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
And smile, smile, smile
Don't let your joy and laughter hear the snag
Smile boys, that's the style
What's the use of worrying
It never was worth while
So, pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
And smile, smile, smile

Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
And smile, smile, smile.
Just pucker up and whistle (Whistle)
(Whistling)
What's the use of worrying
It never was worth while
So, pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
And smile, smile, smile

Si No Fuera Porque


Si No Fuera Porque
Composer(s): E. Sobredo
Performer(s): Raphael



Si no fuera porque me tienen que enterrar
Y que dos cipreses negros se comeran mis sueños
Si no fuera porque mi padre siempre llora en los entierros
Me mataria mañana mismo sin pensar en ello

Si no fuera porque alguien me llorara
Eche de menos mi cuerpo y mi manera de mirar
Si no fuera porque, porque mi amante es algo sentimental
Me mataria mañana mismo sin pensarlo mas

Si no fuera porque alguien se acordara
Para decir dios le guarde o el diablo le tendra
Si no fuera porque es tan triste convertirse en recuerdo
Me mataria mañana mismo sin pensar en ello

Si no fuera porque me querran confesar
Para abrirme el cielo de par en par
Si no fuera porque he pecado y no pienso volverme atras
Me mataria mañana mismo sin pensarlo mas

Pack Up Your Sorrows


Pack Up Your Sorrows
Composer(s): Richard Fariña; Pauline Marden
Performer(s): Judy Collins;
and various other artists



I've seen King Henry's armor
I've seen ravens who could not fly
Castles surrounded by yew trees
And rooks nests that covered the sky

Spring is in the ground, brown patches
near snow white dungarees
Streched out around the trees
Near budding branches
flowers born
a bearer of enchantment
holding my hand I heard her say
Thank you for a lovely day

The river's running bubbling friend
dream flowers on the rapids
Raising colors everywhere
Life's celebration reaching there
saying this is all I have to give
Won't you come, won't you come
and share the way I live

The snow still hugs the town
and old white sky is still around
People bundled up with cares
and good friends making it somewhere
while birds sing to the gentle grey
Thank you, thank you for a lovely day

Down Our Street


Down Our Street
Composer(s): Sammy King Performer(s): Mike Harding and multiple other artists



Do you want to hear what the wide world says?
Down our street
Strangers there they end up dead
Down our street
Me mam and dad and the gang of fools
They've all gone out on the booze
There’s skin and whiskers flying loose
Down our street

The Salvation band came round last night
Trying to teach us wrong from right
And when the sisters began to moan
The captain sang in a snuffled tone
He was hit on the head by a big hambone

The landlord never gets his rent
When he calls, we haven't a cent
He says that he won't call again
He'll have the bailiffs round by ten
There'll be lots of houses to let by then

A copper once he hit me dad
Says me dad, “There'll be a funeral, lad”
They took their jackets off to fight one round
And when me dad got off the ground
A copper’s nose was all they found

The tallyman does a belting trade
Everyone's bought but no-one's paid
And when he tries to get his own
He’s dead before he hits the ground
We’re starting a graveyard of our own

When winter comes, it's very cold
We burn the doors 'cos we've got no coal
And when the cupboard it gets bare
They say that tomcat tastes just like hare
The Alsatians all walk round in pairs

The sambone men they never call
With an old pig’s bladder we play ball
If you look out o'er our window sill
If it weren't for the gasworks and the mill
You could see all the way to Cheetham Hill

The schoolboard man came round one day
The kids they upped and ran away
Down the street he chased the lads
And Albert Iggins grabbed his tash
In the canal he made a splash

The bedbugs they're all ten feet tall
They eat the paper off the wall
They bite the women and they thump the men
And if you're not in bed by half past ten
They come downstairs and fetch you then

Down our street
There are married men and women there
Dancing mad in the midnight air
Lots of jawbones missing where
Down our street

Pack Up Your Sins And Go To The Devil


Pack Up Your Sins And Go To The Devil
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald;
and various other artists



Oh, I got a message from below
'Twas from a man I used to know
About a year or so ago, before he departed
He is just as happy as can be

I'll tell you what he said to me
He said, "If ever you get heavy hearted"
Pack up your sins and go to the devil in hades
You'll meet the finest of gentlemen and the finest of ladies
They'd rather be down below than up above

Hades is full of thousands of Joneses and Browns
O'Hoolihans, Cohens and Bradys
You'll hear a heavenly tune that went to the devil
Because the jazz bands
They started pickin' it
then put a trick in it, a jazzy kick in it

They've got a couple of old reformers in heaven
Making them go to bed at eleven
Pack up your sins and go to the devil
And you'll never have to go to bed at all

If you care to dwell, where the weather is hot
H-E-double-L is a wonderful spot
If you need a rest and you're all out of sorts
Hades is the best of the winter resorts

Paradise doesn't compare
All the nice people are there
They come there from ev'rywhere
Just to revel with Mister Devil
Nothing on his mind but a couple of horns

Satan is waitin' with his jazz band
And his band
Came from Alabam', with a melody hot
No one gives a damn if it's music or not
Satan's melody makes you want to dance for ever
And you never have to go to bed at all

Si No Estuvieras Tú


Si No Estuvieras Tú Composer(s): José Luis Perales Performer(s): José Luis Perales



Si no estuvieras tú sentada junto a mi ¿Con quien podria hablar? Si no estuvieras tú en este amanecer ¿Aquien podria amar? Si no estuvieras tú ¿Aquien podria dar un trozo de mi alma? ¿A quien podria querer? ¿A quien seria fiel? Si no estuvieras tú Si no estuvieras tú cerca de mi No habria una cancion para inventar Ni habria una razon para vivir Ni un sueño que contar Si no estuvieras tú no habria amor Ni flores que cuidar en mi blacon Habria un corazon en soledad Si no estuvieras tú Si no estuvieras tú en esta tarde gris ¿Donde andaria yo? Si no estuvieras tú haciendome sentir ¿Que sentiria yo? Si no estuvieras tú ¿Aquien le iba a contar que tuve una caida? ¿Qien me iba a levantar? ¿Y quien me iba a ayudar? Si no estuvieras tú

Pachuco Cadaver


Pachuco Cadaver
Composer(s): Don Van Vliet
Performer(s): Captain Beefheart;
Eugene Chadbourne; Fast 'n' Bulbous



When she wears her bolero then she begin t' dance
All the pachucos start withold'n hands
When she drives her Chevy Sissy's don't dare t' glance
Yellow jackets `n red debbles buzzin' round `er hair hive ho
She wears her past like uh present
Take her fancy in the past
Her sedan skims along the floorboard
Her two pipes hummin' carbon cum
Got her wheel out of uh B-29 Bomber brodey knob Amber
Spanish fringe `n talcum tazzles forever Amber
She looks like an old squaw indian
she's 99 she won't go down
Avocado green `n alfalfa yellow adorn her t' the ground
Tatooes `n tarnished utenzles uh snow white bag full o' tunes
Drives uh cartune around
Broma' seltzer blue umbrella keeps her up off the ground
Round red sombreros wrap `er high tap horsey shoes
When she unfolds her umbrella pachucos got the blues
Her lovin' makes me so happy
If I smiled I'd crack m' chin
Her eyes are so peaceful thinks it's heaven she been
Her skin is as smooth as the daisies
In the center where the sun shines in
Smiles as sweet as honey
Her teeth as clean as the combs where the bees go in
When she walks flowers surround her
Let their nectar come in to the air around her
She loves her love sticks out like stars
Her lovin' sticks out like stars

Femininity


Femininity
Composer(s): Robert B. Sherman; Richard M. Sherman
Performer(s): Hayley Mills, Deborah Walley, Wendy Turner



You must walk feminine
Talk feminine
Smile and beguile feminine
Utilize your femininity
That's what every girl should know, if she wants to catch a beau

Dance feminine
Glance feminine
Act shy and sigh feminine
Compliment his masculinity
That's what every girl should know, if she wants to catch a beau

Let him do the talking
Med adore good listeners
Laugh, but not too loudly (Haha)
If he should choose to tell a joke
Be radiant, but delicate
Memorize the rules of etiquette
Be demure, sweet and pure
Hide the real you

You must look feminine
Dress feminine
You're at your best feminine
Emphasize your femininity
That's what every girl should know
Femininity, femininity
That's the way to catch a beau

Pablo Picasso


Pablo Picasso
Composer(s): Jonathan Richman
Performer(s): The Modern Lovers;
and various other artists



Well some people try to pick up girls
And get called assholes
This never happened to Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare and
So Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole

Well the girls would turn the color
Of the avacado when he would drive
Down their street in his El Dorado
He could walk down you street
And girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole
Not like you
Alright

Well he was only 5'3"
But girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole
Not in New York

Oh well be not schmuck, be not abnoxious,
Be not bellbottom bummer or asshole
Remember the story of Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole
Alright this is it

Some people try to pick up girls
And they get called an asshole
This never happened to Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare and so
Pablo Picasso was never called...

Si No Estás Conmigo


Si No Estás Conmigo Composer(s): Luis Martínez Serrano Performer(s): Lucho Gatica; Javier Solís



Si no estás conmigo soy como alma errante y penando vivo entre cosas muertas de un mundo vacío Si no estás conmigo yo me desespero de dolor y hastío sin calor de nadie, temblando de frío Es la soledad para mí el infierno de un desesperado cuando la ansiedad de la espera eterna me ha martirizado Yo te necesito porque eres mi vida mi único cariño y me vuelvo loco si no estás conmigo Es la soledad para mí el infierno de un desesperado cuando la ansiedad de la espera eterna me ha martirizado Yo te necesito porque eres mi vida mi único cariño y me vuelvo loco si no estás conmigo

Pablo Mon Ami


Pablo Mon Ami
Composer(s): Jean Ferrat
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



Pablo mon ami qu'avons-nous permis
L'ombre devant nous s'allonge s'allonge
Qu'avons-nous permis Pablo mon ami
Pablo mon ami nos songes nos songes

Nous sommes les gens de la nuit qui portons le soleil en route
Il nous brûle au profond de l'être
Nous avons marché dans le noir à ne plus sentir nos genoux
Sans atteindre le monde à naître

Pablo mon ami qu'avons-nous permis
L'ombre devant nous s'allonge s'allonge
Qu'avons-nous permis Pablo mon ami
Pablo mon ami nos songes nos songes

Je connais ce souffrir de tout qui donne bouche de tourment
Amère comme aubépine
A tous les mots à tous les cris à tous les pas les errements
Où l'âme un moment se devine

Pablo mon ami qu'avons-nous permis
L'ombre devant nous s'allonge s'allonge
Qu'avons-nous permis Pablo mon ami
Pablo mon ami nos songes nos songes

Pablo mon ami tu disais avec ce langage angoissant
Où se font paroles étranges
N'est large espace que douleur et n'est univers que de sang
Si loin que j'aille rien n'y change

Pablo mon ami qu'avons-nous permis
L'ombre devant nous s'allonge s'allonge
Qu'avons-nous permis Pablo mon ami
Pablo mon ami nos songes nos songes

Pablo mon ami le temps passe et déjà s'effacent nos voix
On n'entend plus même un coeur battre
Tout n'était-il que ce qu'il fut tout n'était-il que ce qu'on voit
Tout n'était-il que ce théâtre

Pablo mon ami qu'avons-nous permis
L'ombre devant nous s'allonge s'allonge
Qu'avons-nous permis Pablo mon ami
Pablo mon ami nos songes nos songes

Zion's Daughter


Zion's Daughter
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Boney M.



Zion's daughter, now your heart is full of joy
In a cradle in the manger lies the Holy Boy

Zion's daughter, with your sweet angelic smile
Holding in your arms the Christ Child, resting for awhile

Now the world is waiting, People want to hear
what in Bethlehem had happened, that have brought the
Saviour near
Now high hope starts rising for another day
With eternal love and justice finally on the way

Zion's daughter, now your heart is full of joy
In a cradle in the manger lies the Holy Boy

Zion's daughter, with your sweet angelic smile
Holding in your arms the Christ Child, resting for awhile

Zion's daughter, now your heart is full of joy
In a cradle in the manger lies the Holy Boy

Zion's daughter, with your sweet angelic smile
Holding in your arms the Christ Child, resting for awhile

That's the way it happened many years ago,
with the sky above the shining in a wonderous stroll

Now the world is waiting, People want to hear
what in Bethlehem had happened, that all will say you're near

Zion's daughter, now your heart is full of joy
In a cradle in the manger lies the Holy Boy

Zion's daughter, with your sweet angelic smile
Holding in your arms the Christ Child, resting for awhile

Zion's daughter...

Si Me Voy Antes Que Vos


Si Me Voy Antes Que Vos
Composer(s): Jaime Roos
Performer(s): Jaime Roos



Si me voy antes que vos
si te dejo en estas tierras
no te asustes de la noche
que en la noche vivo yo

Si me voy antes que vos
si es así que está dispuesto
quiero que tus noticias
hablen del aire y del sol

Quiero que siempre recuerdes
lo que dijimos un día
que cada vez que te ríes
río contigo mi amor

Y no te olvides de algo
que se adivina en la vida
y es que la vida misma
es un milagro de amor

Si me voy antes que vos
y visito tu silencio
no es para que estés triste
ni para ver tu dolor

Quiero decirte mi amor
en estas torpes palabras
que cada vez que llores
lo sabrá mi corazón

Y no nos encontraremos
pues siempre estuve a tu lado
hacia dónde y hasta cuándo
esas son cosas de Dios

Y no nos encontraremos
pues siempre estuve a tu lado
siempre aunque me vaya antes
es un milagro de amor

'Zat You, Santa Claus?


'Zat You, Santa Claus?
Composer(s): James Fox
Performer(s): Louis Armstrong;
and various other artists



'Zat You, Santa Claus?

Gifts I'm preparing for some Christmas sharing
But I pause because
Hanging my stocking I can hear a knocking
'Zat you, Santa Claus?

Sure is dark out, ain't the slightest spark out
'Pon my slackened jaw
Who's there? Who is it stopping for a visit
'Zat you, Santa Claus?

Are you bringing a present for me
Something pleasantly pleasant for me
That is just what I've been waiting for
Would you mind slipping it under the door?

Cold winds are howling, or could that be growling
My legs feel like straws
My my oh me my, kindly would you reply
'Zat you, Santa Claus?

Hanging the stocking, I can hear a knocking
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
I say, who's there, who is it, are you stopping for a visit
'Zat you, Santa Claus?

Oh there, Santa, you gave me a scare
Now stop teasing cause I know you're there
We don't believe in no goblins today
But I can't explain why I'm shaking that way

Bet I can see ol' Santa in the keyhole
I'll get to the cause
One peek and I'll try there, oh-oh, there's an eye there
'Zat you, Santa Claus?

Please, please, pity my knees
Say that's you, Santa Claus!

From Lover To Loser


From Lover To Loser
Walter Kent, Harry Warren
Performer(s): Dean Martin



(From lovers to losers, from lovers to losers)

From lovers to losers that's me that's me
For your lips aren't willing like they used to be
You once were so hungry for my embrace
Now goodbye is written all over your face

I'm fallin' from heaven for I know we're gonna part
The fall may not kill me but it's bound to break my heart
Yes, lovers to losers you made that clear
I walked in a laughing but I'm leaving with tears

I'm fallin' from heaven for I know we're gonna part
The fall may not kill me but it's bound to break my heart
Yes, lovers to losers you made that clear
I walked in a laughing but I'm leaving with tears...

You're My Christmas Present


You're My Christmas Present
Composer(s): Jimmy Beaumont; Joe Rock
Performer(s): Jimmy Beaumont & The Skyliners



Ah-ah-ah
The tree is all trimmed now
The fireplace is aglow
And outside quiet streets
Are all covered with snow
So darling let me tell you
On this day of days
Baby, you're my Christmas present
My Christmas past, my Christmas always

In the night, church bells ring
Their message, a cheer
And somewhere canvassing
Soon Santa will be here
And this I swear as into
Your warm eyes I gaze
Baby you're my Christmas present
My Christmas past, my Christmas always

So on this silent night
Let me hold you tight
And make you know just how good love can be
There's no gift of hope
And no treasure untold
That's as precious as you are to me

The stars twinkle on high
Our world is so fine
And I wish you Merry Christmas
And as you pour the wine
For you, this toast my darling
As my glass I raise
Baby you're my Christmas present
My Christmas past, my Christmas always
You're my Christmas always

Si Maman Si


Si Maman Si
Composer(s): Michell Berger
Performer(s): France Gall



Tous mes amis sont partis
Mon cœur a déménagé
Mes vacances c'est toujours Paris
Mes projets c'est continuer
Mes amours c'est inventer

Si, maman, si
Si, maman, si
Maman, si tu voyais ma vie
Je pleure comme je ris
Si, maman, si
Mais mon avenir reste gris
Et mon cœur aussi

Et le temps défile comme un train
Et moi je suis à la fenêtre
Je suis si peu habile que demain
Le bonheur passera peut-être
Sans que je sache le reconnaître

Si, maman, si
Si, maman, si
Maman, si tu voyais ma vie
Je pleure comme je ris
Si, maman, si
Mais mon avenir reste gris
Et mon cœur aussi

Mon cœur est confortable, bien au chaud
Et je lasse passer le vent
Mes envies s'éteignent, je leur tourne le dos
Et je m'endors doucement
Sans chaos ni sentiment

Si, maman, si
Si, maman, si
Maman, si tu voyais ma vie
Je pleure comme je ris
Si, maman, si
Mais mon avenir reste gris
Et mon cœur aussi

Si, maman, si
Si, maman, si
Maman, si tu voyais ma vie
Je pleure comme je ris
Si, maman, si
Mais mon avenir reste gris
Et mon cœur aussi

You’re all I want for Christmas
All I want my whole life through

Girls, Don't Refuse To Kiss A Soldier


Girls, Don't Refuse To Kiss A Soldier
Composer(s): Karl Davis
Performer(s): Karl & Harty



Oh girls, don't refuse to kiss a soldier
For you know that he is fightin' for your peace
And he is your Uncle Sammy's nephew
While you are your Uncle Sammy's niece

Oh girls, don't refuse to kiss a soldier
Or a sailor or a big ol' tough marine
For they'll show the Japs and old man Hitler
The toughest bunch that they have ever seen

Oh, tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marchin'
Marchin', marchin', marchin' off to war
And as you watch them go, you know that many
Will never see you pretty girls anymore

Oh girls, won't you let him smell your powder
And lay your little head upon his arm
For the powder that he smells across the ocean
Is the kind that does a fellah lots of harm

I didn't write this little song for money
Oh, money isn't what I wrote it for
I wrote it when I found that I was drafted
I wrote it 'cause I'm goin' off to war

Oh girls, don't refuse to kiss a soldier
For you know that he is fightin' for your peace
And he is your Uncle Sammy's nephew
While you are your Uncle Sammy's niece
