Songs Of Yesterday
Songs Of Yesterday
Composer(s): Andy Fraser - Paul Rodgers
Performer(s): Free; Humboogie
Sing me a sad song
and I'll be right on my way
a sad song like the songs of yesterday
well my father used to sing the blues
sometimes it was good
but my mother never saw the use
and she chased him for his blood
a sad song like the songs of yesterday
a sad song
and I'll be right on my way
Oh you know my father
always used to say
a bad workman blames his tools
but it seems to me
a man who uses the tools
is just a fool
sad song
and I'll be right on my way
sad song
like the songs of yesterday
Well now the streets are filled with silent cars
and all the world's a stage
but I must get to work today
today I get my wage
sad song
then I'll get on
on my way
just like a song of yesterday
listen to what I'm gonna say

Put On A Happy Face
Put On A Happy Face
Composer(s): Lee Adams; Charles Strouse
Performer(s): Tony Bennett;
and various other artists
Gray skies are gonna clear up
Put on a happy face
Brush off the clouds and cheer up
Put on a happy face
Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy
It's not your style
You'll look so good that you'll be glad
Ya' decide to smile!
Pick out a pleasant outlook
Stick out that noble chin
Wipe off that "full of doubt" look
Slap on a happy grin!
And spread sunshine all over the place
Just put on a happy face!
Put on a happy face
Put on a happy face
And if you're feeling cross and bitterish
Don't sit and whine
Think of banana split and licorice
And you'll feel fine
I knew a girl so gloomy
She'd never laugh or sing
She wouldn't listen to me
Now she's a mean old thing
So spread sunshine all over the place
Just put on a happy face
So, put on a happy face

Il Me Donne Rendez-Vous
Il Me Donne Rendez-Vous
Composer(s): Didier Barbelivien - François Bernheim
First performance by: Nathalie Santamaria - 1995
C'est trois bouquets de fleurs
À la porte de la maison
Un poème qu'il m'écrit
Comme des paroles de chanson
Sa voix au répondeur
Vers les quatre heures du matin
Qui me dit "Mon p'tit cœur
Je vous embrasse, tout va bien"
Je l'attends un peu comme le voleur
Attend son heure
J'ai idée que cet homme est un chat
Ou un charmeur
Il me donne rendez-vous
Souvent il me dit vous
Vous permettez, mam'zelle
De pendre à votre cou
Un baiser, un bijou
Quelque chose d'éternel
Il me donne rendez-vous
Alors je vous l'avoue
J'me sens pousser des ailes
Et l'Bon Dieu est jaloux
De cet ange un peu fou
Qui me fait croire au ciel
Il me donne rendez-vous
Comme il donnerait sa vie
J'avais jamais dit vous
À personne avant lui
C'est deux billets d'avion
Direction les Iles Marquises
Parce que j'avais dit non
À New York et à Venise
C'est une grande limousine
Garée au bas d' l'ascenseur
Il est capable en prime
De s'déguiser en chauffeur
Il est un peu dandy, un peu voyou
Un peu dingue
Et moi j'suis comme on dit la chanteuse
De son bastringue
Il me donne rendez-vous
Souvent il me dit vous
Vous permettez, mam'zelle
De pendre à votre cou
Un baiser, un bijou
Quelque chose d'éternel
Il me donne rendez-vous
Alors je vous l'avoue
J'me sens pousser des ailes
Et l'Bon Dieu est jaloux
De cet ange un peu fou
Qui me fait croire au ciel
Il me donne rendez-vous
Comme il donnerait sa vie
J'avais jamais dit vous
À personne avant lui
Il me donne rendez-vous
Souvent il me dit vous
Vous permettez, mam'zelle
De pendre à votre cou
Un baiser, un bijou
Quelque chose d'éternel
Il me donne rendez-vous
Alors je vous l'avoue
J'me sens pousser des ailes
Et l'Bon Dieu est jaloux
De cet ange un peu fou
Qui me fait croire au ciel
Qui me fait croire au ciel

Put My Little Shoes Away
Put My Little Shoes Away
Composer(s): Don Everly; Phil Everly
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers
Mother dear, come bathe my forehead
for I'm growing very weak
Mother, let one drop of water
fall upon my burning cheek
Chorus:
I'm going away to leave you, Mother darling
and remember what I say
Do this won't you please dear Mother
Put my little shoes away
Santa Claus, he brought them to me
with a lot of other things
I believe he brought an angel
with a pair of golden wings
Repeat chorus
Tell my loving little playmates
that I never more will play
Give them all my toys, but Mother
Put my little shoes away
Repeat chorus

Songbird
Songbird
Composer(s): Steve Nelson - David Wolfert
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand
Songbird sings from the heart
Each word can tear you apart
I sing you sing along
You find your life in my song
When you need the strength to carry on
You've got me to turn to
With the songs that I sing
And the magic they bring
They've helped you be strong now
The song sets you free
But who sings for me
I'm all alone now
Who sings for songbird
Sometimes when I'm all alone
I sing my saddest song
Lonely and no one can see
This time the song is for me
I can touch your secret place inside
And still you don't know me
With the songs that I sing
And the magic they bring
You've learned to be strong now
My song sets you free
But who sings for me
I'm all alone now
Where is my songbird
Where is my songbird
Who sings his songs for me

Put Me On The Trail To Carolina
Put Me On The Trail To Carolina
Composer(s): Alton Delmore; Rabon Delmore
Performer(s): Matt Watroba;
and various other artists
I left my cabin home, started out to roam
But I didn't like it in the mountains
Thought I'd like to stay in the city gay
But it's got the best of me
Put me on the trail to Carolina
That is where I long to be
Where the mountains high reach into the sky
There my sweetheart waits for me
Hand in hand, together in the twilight
Strolling down the trail, we two
Carolina girl, sweetest in the world
Underneath the sky so blue
That old dog of mine, let me hear him whine
When he smells a possum in the mountain
Underneath the moon, let me hum a tune
Strummin' on my old guitar
Put me on the trail to Carolina
That is where I long to be
Where the mountains high reach into the sky
There my sweetheart waits for me
Hand in hand, together in the twilight
Strolling down the trail, we two
Carolina girl, sweetest in the world
Underneath the sky so blue

Vuelve Conmigo
Vuelve Conmigo
First performance by: Anabel Conde - 1995
He sentido el vacío
Y un recuerdo dormido vuelve a despertar
No te tengo conmigo
Y me hiere por dentro tanta soledad
¿Quién sabe dónde estás?
¿Quién sabe dónde estás?
Ven, ven, vuelve conmigo
Ven, ven, que necesito tu amor
Ven, yo no te olvido
Vuelve conmigo, mi amor
Nada queda en el alma
Solamente esa llama que no morirá
Que me quema en el pecho
Cuando, sola en mi lecho
Siento que no estás
Me tienes que escuchar
Me tienes que escuchar
Ven, ven, vuelve conmigo
Ven, ven, que necesito tu amor
Ven, vuelve conmigo
Dale a este invierno calor
Ven, ven, vuelve conmigo
Ven, ven, ya te he pedido perdón
(Ven) Ven, yo no te olvido
Vuelve conmigo, mi amor
Ooohh... (Ven, ven, vuelve conmigo)
(Ven, ven, que necesito tu amor)
Ven, ven, ven (Ven, ven, vuelve conmigo)
(Dale a este invierno calor) Oh, yeah, yeah
Ven, ven, vuelve conmigo
Ven, ven, ya te he pedido perdón
(Ven) Ven, yo no te olvido
Vuelve conmigo, mi amor

Put It There Pal
Put It There Pal
Composer(s): Johnny Burke; Jimmy Van Heusen
Performer(s): Bing Crosby & Bob Hope
I don't care where I'm goin'
Just as long as I'm with you
Put it there, pal
Put it there
I'll be just like your horses
And I'll stick to you like glue
Put it there, pal
Put it there
I'm glad you're fooling Pepsodent (oh, that happy snow)
Stealing all that cash
I hear your show on Thursdays (nice, huh?)
What a lot of eggs you smash
Well at least I don't depend upon
Colonna's big moustache (oh, he gave me the brush)
You're faithful and you're fair
Put it there (skin me Dad, skin me)
You've got that something in your voice
So right for selling cheese (hustle a lot of the stuff)
Put it there, pal
Put it there (put that back in the bowl)
You know, I think your jokes are great (really?)
It's just that folks are hard to please (they're just snobs, that all)
Put it there, pal
Put it there
Your face could make a fortune
Just your nose should make a lot (how do you siphon?)
I like the way you wear those gaudy-colored shirts you've got, boy!
The only time a rainbow ever covered up a pot
You're such a perfect square (oh-oh, is that on the paper?)
(where?, where?)
Shall we dance?
Sorry, I have my heavy underwear on
Oh, just to once around, to the adrenalin, huh?
Well, OK, if I lead
My colleague, my crony, my cohort, my friend
Companions, confederates, chums to the end
Like meat and potatoes, or salt and tomatoes
Boy, what a blend
Don't put it in the paper (don't worry about me)
Don't put it on the air (I'll finish it)
Don't put it in your pipe
Put it there
Confidentially, do you like this as well as singing?
Leave your name with the girl when you go out
We may get to you for some crowd noises
Be sure and call me
All right

Put 'Em In A Box, Tie 'Em With A Ribbon
Put 'Em In A Box, Tie 'Em With A Ribbon
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Jule Styne
Performer(s): Doris Day;
and various other artists
You can take the moon
Gather up the stars
And the robins that sing merrily
Put 'em in a box
Tie I’em with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
You can take the flowers
Down in lovers lane
And that sentimental poetry
Put 'em in a box
Tie I’em with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
Not for me, all that stuff
The dreams that ruin your sleep
Not for me, had enough
Love is one thing you can keep
You can take the plans
And the wedding bells
And whoever sings "Oh Promise Me"
Put 'em in a box
Tie I’em with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
'Cause love and I we don't agree
Hansoms through the park
Kisses in the dark
And the promises made faithfully
Put 'em in a box
Tie ‘em with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
And you won't go wrong
If you take a song
Sung by Frankie Boy or Mr. C
Put 'em in a box
Tie ‘em with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
Not for me, all that stuff
The dreams that ruin your sleep
Not for me, had enough
Love is one thing you can keep
You know what to do
With old "Tea for Two"
And the girl for you, the boy for me
Put 'em in a box
Tie ‘em with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
'Cause love and I we don't agree

Die Welt Dreht Sich Verkehrt
Die Welt Dreht Sich Verkehrt
First performance: Stella Jones - 1995
Das Leben wirft mich aus der Bahn
Wenn du mich ansiehst
Und dann deine Hand mich berührt
Es macht sich auf und davon, von dem Moment an
In dem dein Kuß mich verführt
Jede Norm ist mir egal
Und der Wahnsinn wird normal
Die alte Welt dreht sich verkehrt
Wird federleicht, und schwebt davon
Gold und Platin sind nichts mehr wert
Ich bin Millionär, wenn ich bei dir bin
Lachen und Weinen vereint
Komm' mach aus mir einen Clown
Du Akrobat ohne Seil
Fliegt mit mir durch die Zeit
Ein Haus aus Tagträumen bauen
Wahrheit oder Betrug
Kein Problem weit und breit
Jede Norm ist mir egal
Und der Wahnsinn wird normal
Wird normal...
(Die alte Welt dreht sich verkehrt)
Wird federleicht, und schwebt davon
Gold und Platin sind nichts mehr wert
Ich bin Millionär, und leb' davon
Die alte Welt dreht sich verkehrt
Wird federleicht
Wenn ich bei dir bin
Lachen und Weinen vereint
Die Welt dreht sich verkehrt

Performer(s): Tompall Glaser;
The Geezinslaws; Roger Alan Wade
Put another log on my fire
cook me up some bacon and some beans
And go out to the car and change the tyre

fill my pipe and then go fetch my slippers
and boil me up another pot of tea
Then put another log on my fire, babe
and come and tell me why you`re leaving me
Oh, don`t I let you wash the car on Sunday
don`t I warn you when you`re getting fat
Ain`t I gonna take you fishing with me some day
well, a man can`t love a woman more than that
Ain`t I always nice to your kid sister
don`t I take her driving every night
So sit here at my feet
`cause I like you when you`re sweet
and you know it ain`t feminine to fight
So...
Put another log on my fire

And go out to the car and change the tyre
wash my socks and sew my old blue jeans

Then put another log on my fire, babe
and come and tell me why you`re leaving me

First performance by: Bo Halldórsson - 1995
Núna, ef þú vilt, mun nóttin elska þig af líf' og sál
Núna, ef þú vilt, hún ber, af vörum þér, sín leyndarmál
Núna, ef þú vilt, mun ástin snerta augu þín svo djúp og blá, já
Núna, ef þú vilt, njótum þess að elsk' og þrá
Ó... ég veit allt tekur enda, fellur regn á grænan skóg
Og á meðan þú ert hjá mér, vil ég elska með þér nóg
Þessi nótt er fyrir okkur, þessi koss er handa þér
Hann mun ljóm' í gegnum tárin, þegar loks að morgn' ég fer
Núna, ef þú vilt, mun nóttin elska þig af líf' og sál
Núna, ef þú vilt, hún ber, af vörum þér, sín leyndarmál
Núna, ef þú vilt, mun ástin snerta augu þín svo djúp og blá, já
Núna, ef þú vilt, njótum þess að elsk' og þrá, já
Núna, ef þú vilt, mun nóttin elska þig af líf' og sál
Núna, ef þú vilt, hún ber, af vörum þér, sín leyndarmál
Ó... núna, ef þú vilt, mun ástin snerta augu þín svo djúp og blá, já
Núna, ef þú vilt, njótum þess að elsk' og þrá

Put A Ring On My Finger
Put A Ring On My Finger
Composer(s): Robert Duke
Performer(s): Les Paul & Mary Ford
Just put a ring on my finger
A kiss on my cheek
And you can bet your life
I'll marry you in the best side of a week
Just say you love me
Be faithful and true
And there's nothing in this great big world
I wouldn't do for you
Now some folks are so bashful
When it comes to making love
Some folks much too forward
And others need a shove
I studied love most carefully
And this way you can't miss
Offer me all your love
A ring and a kiss
Just put a ring on my finger
A kiss on my cheek
And you can bet your life
I'll marry you in the best side of a week
Just say you love me
Be faithful and true
And there's nothing in this great big world
I wouldn't do for you

Song To The Siren
Song To The Siren
Composer(s): Larry Beckett - Tim Buckley
First release by: Tim Buckley - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle
And you sang
Sail to me
Sail to me
Let me enfold you
Here I am
Here I am
Waiting to hold you
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you hare when I was fox?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks,
For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow
O my heart, O my heart shies from the sorrow"
I am puzzled as the newborn child
I am troubled at the tide
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Should I lie with Death my bride?
Hear me sing, "Swim to me, Swim to me, Let me enfold you
Here I am, Here I am, Waiting to hold you"
