Please, Mrs. Henry


Please, Mrs. Henry
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Bob Dylan;
and various other artists



Well, I've already had two beers
I'm ready for the broom
Please, Missus Henry, won't you
Take me to my room?
I'm a good old boy
But I've been sniffin' too many eggs
Talkin' to too many people
Drinkin' too many kegs
Please, Missus Henry, Missus Henry
Please
Please, Missus Henry, please
I'm down on my knees
And I ain't got a dime

Well, I'm groanin' in a hallway
Pretty soon I'll be mad
Please, Missus Henry, won't you
Take me to your dad?
I can drink like a fish
I can crawl like a snake
I can bite like a turkey
I can slam like a drake
Please, Missus Henry, Missus Henry
Please
Please, Missus Henry, please
I'm down on my knees
And I ain't got a dime

Now, don't crowd me, lady
Or I'll fill up your shoe
I'm a sweet bourbon daddy
And tonight I am blue
I'm a thousand years old
And I'm a generous bomb
I'm T-boned and punctured
But I'm known to be calm
Please, Missus Henry, Missus Henry
Please
Please, Missus Henry, please
I'm down on my knees
And I ain't got a dime
Now, I'm startin' to drain
My stool's gonna squeak
If I walk too much farther
My crane's gonna leak
Look, Missus Henry
There's only so much I can do
Why don't you look my way
And pump me a few?
Please, Missus Henry, Missus Henry
Please
Please, Missus Henry, please
I'm down on my knees
And I ain't got a dime

Smile (Pussycat)


Smile
Composer(s): W. Theunissen
Performer(s): Pussycat



There were days I couldn't weep, nights I couldn't sleep
An' everything I did just turned out wrong
Till there was you to dry my tears, whisper love words in my ears
And this is why I'm glad you came along

Now there's a smile to cheer me up when I'm lonely
That I can call whenever I'm feeling down
Smile and you know that I'm only
Longin' for the minute you'll be around

Help me 'cause I'm tryin' to get over
The way I thought of love many times before
If ever you should go away, an' nobody else could be near
There's always a smile to remember that you were here

If I could fly away to a bright blue summer day
Trying to share my love with you for evermore
Darling, you make my life complete, you're everything I need
I'll never be the same I was before

(Now there's a smile) There's a smile to cheer me up
(To cheer me up when I'm lonely) When I'm lonely
That I can call whenever I'm feelin' down
Smile your smile and Darlin' you know
That I'm only longin' for the minute you'll be around

Help me 'cause I'm tryin' to get over
The way I thought of love many times before
If ever you should go away, an' nobody else could be near
There's always a smile to remember that you were here

There's always a smile to remember that you were here

There's always a smile to remember that you were here

Talk to her please, Mr. Sun
Speak to her, Mr. Rainbow
And take her under your branches, Mr. Tree

Whisper to her, Mr. Wind
Sing to her, Mr. Robin
And Mrs. Moonlight, put in a word for me

It shouldn't end this way
Since you are all her friends
She'll listen to whatever you have to say

Babble to her, Mr. Brook
Kiss her for me, Miss Raindrop

Smile (Alfred Newman)


Smile
Composer(s): Charlie Chaplin
First performance by: Alfred Newman - 1936
Covered by multiple other artists

Titles In Other Languages:
1955 - Ton Sourire Est Dans Mon Cœur
1983 - Femme

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

Please Tell Me Why


Please Tell Me Why
Composer(s): Dave Clark; Mike Smith
Performer(s): The Dave Clark Five; The Gants



I don't know why she won't love me
Lord, please tell me why
Maybe it's that she don't love me
Don't count on it please, she's shy

If she's shy then I'll understand
I'll make the first move and hold her hand
But if I'm wrong then I'll be mad
La-da-da-da-da

I've been tryin' oh so hard
But she don't seem to notice
I sit next to her in class
But she can't see my motive

Do you think she has a boy
If she has then I'm done
'Cause if he catches me with her
I think I'll have to run

If she's passive she'll understand
I'll value my love but not in her hands
But if I'm wrong then I'll be mad
La-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da

Ton Sourire Est Dans Mon Coeur


Ton Sourire Est Dans Mon Coeur - 1955 (aka Femme - 1983)
(Adapted from: Smile - 1936)
(Italian Version: Se Mai Ti Parlassero Di Me - 2008)
Composer(s): Charlie Chaplin; Henri Contet
Performer(s): Jacqueline François - 1955



J'ai ton sourire dans mon coeur
C'est ma petite fleur de bonheur
Quand tu souris, j'ai le ciel dans ma vie
Ton sourire c'est l'étoile du matin
C'est mon ami, mon copain
Et je lui dis cent fois merci, merci

Quand une rose fleurit
C'est qu'en passant tu souris
Tu es soleil et l'eau vive et le miel
Souris-moi, mon amour, souris-moi
Tout s'illumine par toi
Ma route est bleue sous le ciel gris
Quand tu souris

J'ai ton sourire dans mon coeur
C'est ma petite fleur de bonheur
Ma fleur d'amour, ma cocarde
Un beau jour tu souris et la vie te répond
Tout s'éparpille en chansons
Je les écoute et je te dis
Merci, merci

Please Stay


Please Stay
Composer(s): Bob Hilliard; Burt Bacharach
Performer(s): The Drifters



Don't go (Please stay)
Don't go (Please stay)

If I got on my knees and I pleaded with you
Not to go but to stay in my ar-arms
Would you walk out the door like you did once before?
Or would this time be different, would you sta-a-ay?

Don't go (Please stay)
Don't go

If I called out your name like a prayer in the night
Would you leave me alone with my tears?
Knowing I-I, I love you so-o, would you still turn and go?
Or would this time be different in some wa-a-ay?

Don't go (Please stay)
(Please stay)

You took me away from the rest of the world
When you taught me to love you like this
Now I hang by a thread in the canyon of doom
But I still can be saved ... by your kiss

If I got on my knees and I pleaded with you
Not to go but to stay in my ar-arms
Would you walk out the door like you did once before?
Or would this time be different, would you sta-a-ay?

(Don't go)
(Please stay)
(Don't go)
(Please stay)
(Don't go)
(Please sta-ay-ay-ay-ay) (ay-ay-ay-ay) (ay-ay-ay-ay)

First performance by: Wess & Dori Ghezzi - 1975



(lei)
da un po' di settimane in qua
mi sento un'altra donna gia'
che vada tutto a rotoli

(insieme)
ora ora ora

(lui)
accanto a te ci sono io
amore sono tutto tuo
mi sembra quasi un secolo

(insieme)
quando far l'amore
era baciarsi al cinema
era la mia domenica
era trovare un angolo nascosto
era era
era arrossire in pubblico
era parlarsi in codice
era rientrare prima della sera
era

(lei)
le storie che inventavo ai miei
le amiche conosciute mai
la posta tra la biancheria

(insieme)
era ora ora

(lui)
ora sfido il mondo mio
un amore quando e mio e mio
e sembra quasi un secolo

(insieme)
quando far l'amore
era baciarsi al cinema
era la mia domenica
era trovare un angolo nascosto

era arrossire in pubblico
era parlarsi in codice
era rientrare prima della sera

na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na
era rientrare prima della sera

Please Send Me Someone To Love


Please Send Me Someone To Love
Composer(s): Percy Mayfield
Performer(s): Percy Mayfield;
and various other artists



Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace of mind
But, if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love

Show all the world how to get along
Peace will enter when hate is gone
But, if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love

I lay awake night and ponder world troubles
My answer is always the same
That unless men put an end to all of this
Hate will put the world in a flame, (oh) what a shame
Just because I'm in misery
I'm not begging for no sympathy
But if it's not asking too much
Just send me someone to love

Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace of mind
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love

Learn to love me or leave me, either one you wanna do
Learn to love me or leave me, either one you wanna do
Because strange things are happenin', babe, an' somethin' might happen to you

If you know you don't love me, why don't you let me be?
If you know you don't love me, why don't you let me be?
Because it's better to be without you, then to live on in misery

Hey!

Midnight find me cryin', daylight find me cryin', too
Midnight find me cryin', daylight find me cryin', too
You better change your ways pretty baby or somethin' might happen to you

Please Search The Book Again


Please Search The Book Again
Composer(s): Jerry Goff
Performer(s): Greg Watson



I dreamed that I had died and gone to heaven
I stood just outside the eastern gate
The Man from within said, "Have you been born again
And is your name written in the Book of Life?"

Chorus:
Please search the book again; I thought my name was there!
I went to church on Sunday, tho' I never knelt in prayer
Please search the book again; it's too late now, I know
Please search the book again before you make me go!

I told Him all the deeds that I had done
I told Him all the trophies I had won
But the Man said to me, "Have you been set free
And is your name written in the Book of Life?"

Chorus

And then He turned and left me standing there
I knew it was too late now for prayer
Oh, my sinner friend, if you want to make it in
Your name must be in the Book of Life

Chorus

Jennie, Jennie (English Version)


Jennie, Jennie
Composer(s): Lars Berghagen
First performance by: Lars Berghagen - 1975



Jennie, Jennie
I know that tonight you're alone in your room with a note in your hand
In your dreams you're regretting, but never forgetting
That often, you doubt where you stand

Your phonograph spins out a tune, you see pictures in your memory
I know that you're crying, but there's no denying
That time has a different melody

Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - can't you see the world is yours?
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - life has still so much in store to give you
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - you must change your tune somehow
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - live your life and live it now

You long for the world that you loved and you want to be there once again
But your diary's confessions are like signs that the ocean
Erased forever from the sand

Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - can't you see the world is yours?
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - life has still so much in store to give you
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - you must change your tune somehow
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - live your life and live it now

Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - can't you see the world is yours?
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - life has still so much in store to give you
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - you must change your tune somehow
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - live your life and live it now

Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - can't you see the world is yours?
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - life has still so much in store to give you

[Rose:]
Funny, you're a stranger who's come here
come from another town
Funny, I'm a stranger myself here
Small world, isn't it?
Funny, you're a man who goes traveling
rather than settling down
Funny, 'cause I'd love to go traveling
Small world, isn't it?

We have so much in common
it's a phenomenon
We could pool our resources
by joining forces from now on

Lucky, you're a man who likes children
That's an important sign
Lucky, I'm a woman with children
Small world, isn't it?
Funny, isn't it small and funny and fine?

Tú Volverás (Sergio & Estîbaliz)


Tú Volverás
First performance by: Sergio & Estîbaliz - 1975



Volveras a ser la chica sencilla
que tomo el tren de la vida antes de ser mujer

Volveras, bajate en marcha si puedes
y aunque los años no vuelven
tu volveras, volveras
Toma tu vida y tu mochila

Volveras, aunque vestida de olvido
incluso para el amigo que te enseño a besar

Volveras, siempre es mas corto el camino
y aunque vuelvas de vacio
volveras, volveras
Toma tu vida y tu mochila
vuelve ya

Se que abandonaste tus olivos
tu familia y amigos, por triunfar
pero no te importe si alguien piensa
que has jugado y perdido
vuelve ya

Volveras ahora que el tren se detiene
que ya ha nevado en tus sienes
volveras, volveras
Toma tu vida y tu mochila
vuelve ya

Volveras, volveras
Toma tu vida y tu mochila
Volveras

Small Town


Small Town
Composer(s): Max Nesbitt; Harry Nesbitt; Morton Fraser
Performer(s): Cyril Grantham



Small town, at long last I’m on my way
Thought of you night and day
Yearn for that new mown hay
Small town I’m on my way home

Big town, my pockets I thought you’d fill
I mention upon a hill
I fell like Jack and Jill
Small town I’m on my way home

I don’t see why
I should keep on hanging around
I’ve stayed so long
In the end it just got me down

Small town you’ve been such a memory
And now I can plainly see
There’s no other place for me
Small town I’m on my way home

Please Mr. Moon Don't Tell On Me
Performer(s): Hartman's Heartbreakers



As I drive into the moon
As I leave my baby behind me
I think of all the love we shared
And I just wanna go back home

Please Mr Moon
Won't you tell her that I love her
And I'll be home just as soon as I can
It's a shame we have to be apart
But for a singer it's the only way to be

When I think of her sweet smile
And all the kindness in her heart
All the love she gives to me
It just makes me wanna cry

Please Mr Moon
Won't you tell her that I love her
And I'll be home just as soon as I can
It's a shame we have to be apart
But for a singer it's the only way to be

Now here I am on the road back home
And I know she'll be waiting for me
With a smile so warm and tender
And a sweet, "Hello my darling"

Please Mr Moon
Won't you tell her that I love her
And I'm on my way back home
And I will give her all my love
Until I have to leave again

Please Mr Moon
Won't you tell her that I love her
And I'll be home just as soon as I can
It's a shame we have to be apart
But for a singer it's the only way to be
But for a singer it's the only way to be
But for a singer it's the only way to be

Madrugada


Madrugada
First performance by: Duarta Mendes - 1975



Dos que morreram sem saber porquê
Dos que teimaram em silêncio e frio
Da força nascida no medo
E a raiva à solta manhã cedo
Fazem-se as margens do meu rio

Das cicatrizes do meu chão antigo
E da memória do meu sangue em fogo
Da escuridão a abrir em cor
Do braço dado e a arma flor
Fazem-se as margens do meu povo

Canta-se a gente que a si mesma se descobre
E acorda vozes arraiais
Canta-se a terra que a si mesma se devolve
Que o canto assim nunca é demais

Em cada veia o sangue espera a vez
Em cada fala se persegue o dia
E assim se aprendem as marés
Assim se cresce e ganha pé
Rompe a canção que não havia

Acordem luzes nos umbrais que a tarde cega
Acordem vozes e arraiais
Cantem despertos na manhã que a noite entrega
Que o canto assim nunca é demais

Cantem marés por essas praias de sargaços
Acordem vozes, arraiais
Corram descalços rente ao cais, abram abraços
Que o canto assim nunca é demais
O canto assim nunca é demais
