Sleigh Ride In July
Sleigh Ride In July
Composer(s): Jimmy Van Heusen; Johnny Burke
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists
If I were the type to play around
It wouldn't be so bad,
But I didn't know my way around
And what a time I had!
I was taken for a sleigh ride in July
Oh, I must have been a set up for a sigh
A mocking bird was whistling a sentimental tune
And I didn't know enough to come in out of the moonlight
So, the big romance was only make believe
Just a sleigh ride on a balmy summer eve
My dreams were safe all winter
And then to think that I
Was taken for a sleigh ride in July
I was taken for a sleigh ride in July
Oh, I must have been a set up for a sigh
A mocking bird was whistling a sentimental tune
And I didn't know enough to come in out of the moonlight
So, the big romance was only make believe
Just a sleigh ride on a balmy summer eve
My dreams were safe all winter
And then to think that I
Was taken for a sleigh ride in July

Play Something Sweet (Brickyard Blues)
Play Something Sweet (Brickyard Blues)
Composer(s): Allen Toussaint
Performer(s): Three Dog Night;
and various other artists
Well, I tried to run my game
She said "Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before"
And I'm too tired to go for your show (again and again)
And she started to explain
She said "Man, I ain't sayin' what you're playin' just can't make it
But I just can't take it anymore"
Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Well, I started to sweat
She said "Don't get upset 'cause you just might break a string
And that won't do a thing for your show
So I said to myself
I said "Self, do you see what is sailin' through my soul?"
And I gotta have some more, don't ya know
Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
It's enough to make it light in the dark
It's enough to make a bite just a bark
It's enough to make a body move around
It's enough to make a rabbit hug a dog
Play somethin' sweet
Well, I tried to run my game
She said "Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before"
And I'm too tired to go for your show (again and again)
And she started to explain
She said "Man, I ain't sayin' what you're playin' just can't make it
But I just can't take it anymore"
Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

Sleigh Ride
Sleigh Ride
(Danish Version: En Slæde Til To - 2009)
Composer(s): Leroy Anderson; Mitchell Parish
First release by: The Andrews Sisters - 1950
Covered by multiple other artists
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
and friends are calling "yoo hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap
let's go, Let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy yap, giddy yap, gidd yap
it's grand, Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with a song
of a wintry fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
and comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you
There's a birthday party
at the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending a of perfect day
We'll be singing the songs
we love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch
the chestnuts pop! pop! pop! pop!
There's a happy feeling
nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee
and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print
by Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things
we remember all through our lives!
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
and friends are calling "yoo hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you
It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Play Me Hearts And Flowers
Play Me Hearts And Flowers
Composer(s): Manny Curtis; Sanford Green
Performer(s): Billy Cotton; Johnny Desmond
I spend lonely hours since he said goodbye
Play me hearts and flowers, I want to cry
Oh my ivory tower tumbled from the sky
Play me hearts and flowers, I want to cry
You saw us together so you ought to know
Just why I feel like I do
Do me a favour, I beg of you Joe
Play me a heartache or two
When a romance sours, smiles are just a lie
Play me hearts and flowers, and let me cry
Do me a favour, I beg of you Joe
Play me a heartache or two
When a romance sours, smiles are just a lie
Play me hearts and flowers, and let me cry

Do I Dream?
Do I Dream?
Composer(s): Jack Brierlev - George F. Crosbie
First performance by: Maxi - 1973
Does the sun dance on the river?
Does it sparkle? Does it quiver?
Do I dream?
Are the mountains blue and hazy
Or am I a little crazy?
Do I dream?
My darling, tell me, do your arms enfold me?
Did you say you love me only?
Is it true, or am I in a dream?
Has this cloud a silver lining?
Will the sun be always shining?
Darling, do I dream?
Are we walking through the heather?
Are we holding hands together?
Do I dream?
Are there many coloured flowers?
Have we loved away the hours?
Do I dream?
My darling, if I'm dreaming, do not wake me
Never let my dream forsake me
I love you and that is not a dream
Will this love go on forever?
Could we share our life together?
Do I dream? Do I dream? Do I dream?
Is the moon a little brighter?
Are my footsteps feeling lighter?
Do I dream?
Are there lucky stars above me?
Tell me once again you love me
Do I dream?
My darling, are we walking close together?
Could we stay like this forever?
Is it true, or am I in a dream?
Will this love go on forever?
Could we share our life together?
Do I dream? Do I dream? Do I dream?
Are we walking close together?
Could we stay like this forever?
Is it true, or am I in a dream?
Will this love go on forever?
Could we share our life together?
Do I dream? Do I dream? Do I dream?

Play Me A Sad Song
Composer(s): Jerry Landis (aka Paul Simon)
Performer(s): Tom & Jerry (aka Simon & Garfunkel)
Saturday night and I'm all alone
Don't have a date, I'm just sittin' home
The radio's playin' the tap tunes tonight
Play me a sad song (oh yes)
Please mister deejay (yes)
Play me a sad song tonight (ooh-ooh)
Don't you think I wanna go where other kids go
Don't you know I wanna do what other kids do
I've got nobody to hold me tight (ooh yes)
Play me a sad song (oh yes)
Please mister deejay (yes)
Play me a sad song tonight
Don't wanna hear a lullaby
I can't sleep, I just sit and cry
Play me a sad song, a song of love
'Cause that's all that I'm thinking of
Sittin' here cryin' won't get me the girl
I bet I'm the loneliest boy in the world
Oh what's the use, guess I'll turn off the light (ooh yes)
Play me a sad song (oh yes)
Please mister deejay (yes)
Play me a sad song (oh yes)
I feel so lonely (yes)
Please mister deejay (oh yes)
Play me a sad song (yes)

Sleepy time gal you're turning night into days
Sleepy time gal you've danced the evening away
Before each silvery star fades out of sight

Sleepy time gal I'll find a cottage for you
You'll learn to cook and sew

When you're a stay at home, play at home 8 o'clock sleepy time gal
It's getting late and dear your pillow's waiting

You'll learn to cook and to sew

Play Me
Play Me
Performer(s): Neil Diamond
She was morning and I was night time
I one day woke up to find her lyin' beside my bed
I softly said, "Come take me"
For I've been lonely, in need of someone
As though I'd done someone wrong somewhere, but I don't know where
I don't know where, come lately
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune, play me
Song, she sang to me, song she brang to me
Words that rang in me, rhyme that sprang from me warmed the night
And what was right became me
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune, play me
She was morning and I was night time
I one day woke up to find her lyin' beside my bed
I softly said, "Come take me"
So it was that I came to travel
Upon a road that was thorned and narrow, another place
Another grace would save me
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune, play me
You are the sun, I am the moon,
You are the words, I am the tune, .....play........ me

De Oude Muzikant
De Oude Muzikant
First performance by: Ben Cramer - 1973
Door de straten van Parijs
Klinkt nog steeds dezelfde wijs
Van die oude muzikant
Je hoort 'm al aan de overkant
Eens was hij toch heel beroemd
Altijd werd zijn naam genoemd
Nu is hij heel oud en grijs
Ouder dan de stad Parijs
Door de straten, over pleinen
Klinkt dat ene lied
Die melodie zal nooit verdwijnen
Ook al ken je hem niet
Eenzaam zijn nu al zijn dagen
Niemand die hem nog kent
Hij speelt op zijn accordeon
En denkt aan hoe het eens begon
Het leven is nu grauw en grijs
In de straten van Parijs
Zijn vrienden kennen hem niet meer
Maar kijken nu nog op hem neer
Hij speelt voor geld nog op de straat
Voor 's morgens vroeg tot 's avonds laat
Niemand die nog op hem wacht
Maar soms is het of hij weer lacht
Hij was beroemd in 't hele land
Die oude grijze muzikant
Door de straten, over pleinen
Klinkt dat ene lied
Die melodie zal nooit verdwijnen
Ook al ken je hem niet
Eenzaam zijn nu al zijn dagen
Niemand die hem nog kent
Hij speelt op zijn accordeon
En denkt aan hoe het eens begon
Het leven is nu grauw en grijs
In de straten van Parijs

Play It Fair
Play It Fair
Composer(s): Bill Campbell
Performer(s): LaVern Baker
Give your heart to the one
Who gave her heart to you
If you must play the game
Play it fair (play it fair)
Save your love for the one
Who saves her love for you
If you must play with love
Play it fair (play it fair)
Oh you don't have to be wise
No you don't have to be so smart
Just to realize
It's wrong to break a heart
So be true to the one
Who's always true to you
If she's true why can't you
Play it fair (play it fair)
Yes you-ooo should bear in mind
That you just can't live alone
So why not spend your time
With someone all your own
Keep your mind on the one
Whose mind's always on you
If you must play the game
Play it fair (play it fair)

Sleepy Lagoon
Sleepy Lagoon
Composer(s): Eric Coates; Jack Lawrence
Performer(s): Dinah Shore
and multiple other artists
A sleepy lagoon, a tropical moon
And two on an island
A sleepy lagoon, and two hearts in tune
In some lullaby land
The fire flies gleam reflects in the stream
They sparkle and shimmer
A star from on high falls out of the sky
And slowly grows dimmer.
The leaves in the trees all dance in the breeze
And float in the ripple
We're deep in the spell as nightingales tell
Of roses and dew
The memory of this moment of love
Will haunt me forever
A tropical moon, a sleepy lagoon
And you

Play Gypsy
Play Gypsy
Performer(s): Joe Loss
Play gypsy, play gypsy
Sounds that I love
Bring back the springtime to my heart
Let me forget you must fade
And that love may not stay
Play and my sadness will depart
Tune up your gypsy violin
Let the dance begin
Take me back to joy and laughter
Never mind what may come after
Play gypsy, play gypsy
Sounds that I love
Bring back the springtime to my heart
Tune up your gypsy violin
Let the dance begin
Take me back to joy and laughter
Never mind what may come after
Play gypsy, play gypsy
Sounds that I love
Bring back the springtime to my heart

You Are Summer - You Never Tell Me No
You Are Summer - You Never Tell Me No
Composer(s): Monica Dominique; Carl-Axel Dominique; Lars Forsell
First performance by: Nova - 1973
Monday morning - the streets are black with rain
Under a skylight hovers sad and grey
Tuesday waits down the endless dreary day
And every day is like the other day
I have you and I long for your carress
Oh... your breasts are like swallows in nestling
You're the Summer, life grows in you
Summer, wind blows in you
Summer is glowing you
Summer, since knowing you
You are Summer, you never tell me no
Summer, life grows in you
Summer, wind blows in you
Summer, you never tell me no
Times are stale and the days are long and slow
There is no song can make me laugh and swing
Half past four, I pack up and home I go
Home to the point and fear the evenings bring
I have you and I long for your carress
Oh... your breasts are like swallows in nestling
You're the Summer, life grows in you
Summer, wind blows in you
Summer is glowing you
Summer, since knowing you
You are Summer, you never tell me no
Summer, life grows in you
Summer, wind blows in you
Summer, you never tell me no
I have you and I long for your carress
Oh... your breasts are like swallows in nestling
You're the Summer, life grows in you
Summer, wind blows in you
Summer is glowing you
Summer, since knowing you
You are Summer, you never tell me no
You are Summer, you never tell me no

Play Guitar Play
Play Guitar Play
Composer(s): Conway Twitty
Performer(s): Conway Twitty; Charley Pride
Play, guitar play
Take me back to yesterday
Let me see, cotton growing, in the fields
Let me hear, my momma calling
Look a-yonder ya-all who's coming
Down the road, he's a coming home
But they know I never will
I left them living with that awful thing I done
I didn't tell them I just packed my clothes and run
Play, guitar play
Help me through another day
Help me make another dollar, before I go
We got time, for one more song
Then we'll have to move along
Another town, another crowd
Lord I wonder if they know
Can they read between the lines in my song
As I sing about a good boy that's went wrong
Guitar we got years to kill
We got to climb that distant hill
I wonder if they think of me
Guitar play

Sleepy Hollow
Sleepy Hollow
Composer(s): Harold G. Frost; Lemuel Fowler; Henri Klickmann
Sweetheart, I've been dreaming of a by gone day
When you said you loved me so
Silv'ry stars are gleaming just to light my way
Seems they know that I want to go
Underneath the willow 'neath a sky of blue
While the moonlight softly beams
I will make my pillow while I dream of you
Once again I will stroll in dreams
Back to Sleepy Hollow, Sleepy Hollow
Where I first met you
I'll dream again, all the dream we knew
I'll dream again dear, of your sweet eyes of blue
In the shadows falling you are calling
As you used to do
While the mem'ries follow "Sleepy Hollow"
Where I first met you

Play A Simple Melody
Play A Simple Melody
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists
Won't you play some simple melody
Like my mother sang to me
One with a good old-fashioned harmony
Play some simple melody
Musical demon, set your honey a-dreaming, won't you play me some rag
Just change that classical nag to some sweet beautiful drag
If you will play from a copy of a tune that is choppy you'll get all my applause
And that is simply because I want to listen to rag
Won't you play some simple melody
(Musical demon, set your honey a-dreaming, won't you play me some rag)
Like my mother sang to me (Just change that classical nag to some sweet beautiful drag)
One with a good old-fashioned harmony (If you will play from a copy
of a tune that is choppy, you'll get all my applause)
Play some simple melody (And that is simply because I want to listen to rag)

(Dutch Version: Vuur En Vlam - 1995)
Composer(s): Claude Morgan; Vline Buggy
First performance by: Anne-Marie David - 1973
Dans les rêves
De l'enfance
Dans l'élève
Que le maître a puni
Dans la gare ou commence
La première aventure de la vie
Dans celui qui doute
Dans celui qui croit
Tu verras
tu te reconnaîtras
à chaque instant
Dans chaque joie
Dans chaque larme
Tu verras
tu te reconnaîtras
Dans cet enfant
parmi ces gens
Tout comme toi
Dans les rêves
De l'artiste
Que la gloire n'a jamais couronné
Dans le monde
Egoiste
Qui renie ce qu'il a adoré
Dans ceux qui ont peur
Dans ceux qui ont froid
Tu verras
tu te reconnaîtras
Dans cet amour
Que j'ai pour toi
Oui tu verras
Tu te reconnaîtras

Plata O Mierda
Plata O Mierda
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos
El infierno esta vacío
yo lo sé, yo estuve allí
los demonios andan sueltos por aquí
Vamos todos contra todos
como en peregrinación
al Dios dinero
cantando esta canción
Plata o mierda, dice el cura
plata o mierda, dice el juez
plata o mierda, el policía
la única opción es hoy tener
plata o mierda no hay otra
es ganar o perder
porque tener es más que ser
Hoy la vida ya no tiene
más sentido ni valor
nos inyectan solo dudas y temor
Hitler vive
Elvis vive
y el suicida no murió
todos ríen y cantan a viva voz
Plata o mierda, el senador
plata o mierda, el dictador
esta historia la conozco
y está cada vez peor
plata o mierda no hay chance
es ganar o perder
porque tener es más que ser
Puede ser Krishnamurti
Puede ser William Blake
algo de sufi, algo de Zen
hay tanto que hacer
San Agustín de día
de noche Proust o Nietzche
pobre alma mía
sola y vacía
y tanto que hacer...
Yo sé que hay algo más
Dios dinero, deja ya de gobernar...
basta ya...
Plata o mierda, en la prisión
y en la zona de exclusión
plata o mierda en todas partes
en el fútbol y en el rock
plata o mierda no hay otra
es ganar o perder
porque tener es más que ser
porque tener es más que ser
y no puede ser
yo solo quiero ser
oh, nena quiero ser
yo solo quiero ser...
