Habillez-Vous


Habillez-Vous
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Habillez-vous
Car je vous préfère vêtue
Pour mieux imaginer de vous
Tous les contours, les attributs
Avant de vous éteindre nue

Habillez-vous
Que par un coin de votre chair
Ne révèle sous vos dessous
Ces jardins secrets dont j'espère
Élucider tous les mystères

De vos chevilles jusqu'au cou
Restez couverte
Je veux faire je vous l'avoue
Mains inexpertes
De vos trésors de vos atouts
La découverte
Habillez-vous
Oh vous

Habillez-vous
Car plus le ciel est interdit
Plus on est loin du paradis
Plus on veut en avoir des fruits
Un avant goût
Habillez-vous

Habillez-vous
Explorateur de vos attraits
Je veux parcourir vos frous-frous
Pour en découvrir sans délai
Les coins d'ombre les plus secrets
Habillez-vous
Pour que malhabile et tremblant

Fou de l'amour que je vous voue
Avec ferveur et tendrement
Je vous effeuille tendrement

Plus je me heurte à des tabous
De coeur et d'âme
Plus je dois forcer de verrous
Plus je m'enflamme
Car moins j'en vois plus je suis fou
D'un corps de femme
Habillez-vous
Oh vous

Habillez-vous
Je vous désirerai plus fort
Cachez moi tout de votre corps
Vous me donnerez plus encore
Envie de vous
Habillez-vous

Habillez-vous
Jusqu'au moment ou plein d'émoi
Vous disant tu au lieu de vous
Tu entendes soudain ma voix
Te dire au lieu d'habillez-vous
Déshabille-toi
Déshabille-toi
Déshabille-toi

Tra La La
Composer(s): Carlton 'Junior' Parker

Rock bop bop...

Tra la la, tra la la
You're as sweet as a candy bar
Tra la la, tra la lie
I'm so happy that I could die

Tra la la, tra la la
You're as cute as a movie star
Tra la la, tra la lo
I'd be crazy to let you go

Tra la la, tra la lou
All my loving is just for you
Tra la la, tra la la
Wolf whistle goes
I don't know how
So I'm singing

Tra la la, tra la la
I love you just the way you are
Tra la la, tra la lee
I'm as happy as I can be

Rock bop bop...

You're as cute as a movie star

Habanera (Nicolas Peyrac)


Habanera
Composer(s): Nicolas Peyrac
Performer(s): Nicolas Peyrac



Il va falloir que je me lève
Que je brise le sortilège
Qui m'enveloppe tout à coup
Je ne suis plus bon qu'aux kermesses
Qu'au bal de la tendre fesse
Les gens ne m'aiment plus beaucoup
C'était un accordéon triste
Qui rêvait d'être concertiste
Il ruminait dans les coulisses
D'un bal pour touristes égarés
Egarés

L'accordéon rêvait qu'un jour
Il s'offrirait le grand amour
Il s'habillerait de velours
Elle serait vêtue de soie
S'appellerait Habanera
S'en serait venue faire un tour
Là sur les rives de Paris
Elle viendrait vivre sa vie
Réapprendre un peu la folie
La folie

Il va falloir que je m'exile
Que je cherche le bidonville
Où je la croisais quelquefois
Il va falloir que je retrouve
La couleur du ciel un peu rouge
De l'Argentine d'autrefois
C'était un accordéon triste
Qui rêvait d'être concertiste
Il ruminait dans les coulisses
D'un bal pour touristes égarés
Egarés

L'accordéon rêvait qu'un jour
Il s'offrirait le grand amour
Il s'habillerait de velours
Elle serait vêtue de soie
S'appellerait habanera
S'en serait venue faire un tour
Là sur les rives de Paris
Elle viendrait vivre sa vie
Réapprendre un peu la folie
La folie

Qu'est-ce que je fous dans ce baloche
Avec ce dingue qui s'accroche
A mon clavier comme un noyé
Je voudrais bien refaire le monde
Lui montrer qu'à chaque seconde
Cette musique peut chanter
C'était un accordéon tendre
Qui rêvait qu'un jour la légende
De l'amour viendrait le surprendre
Loin de ces touristes paumés
Paumés

Mais l'accordéon un beau jour
A rencontré le grand amour
Il s'est habillé de velours
Elle s'était vêtue de soie
Se prénommait Habanera
S'en était venue faire un tour
Là sur les rives de Paris
Elle voulait vivre sa vie
Qu'on lui dise tu es jolie
Il lui dit

Mais l'accordéon un beau jour
A rencontré le grand amour
Il s'est habillé de velours
Elle s'était vêtue de soie
Se prénommait Habanera
S'en était venue faire un tour
Là sur les rives de Paris
Elle voulait vivre sa vie
Qu'on lui dise tu es jolie
Il lui dit

Sonríe, Sonríe


Sonríe, Sonríe
Performer(s): Raphael



Cuando al nacer vemos la luz
Cada uno tiene que llorar
Es la prueba que tendra que pasar
Para vivir, hay que llorar
Hay que llorar

Y si despues te fuera mal
Un consejo yo te voy a dar
Y que nunca deberas olvidar
Para vivir, hay que aprender a sonreir

Te diran, te hablaran
Pero tu sonrie, sonrie
Te ira bien o te ira mal
Pero tu sonrie, sonrie
Sonrie, sonrie
Que el mundo sonrie
Cuando hay amor

Cuando no estes cerca de mi
Si me llevas en tu corazon
Y recuerdas que te he dado mi amor
Vas a sufrir pero tendras que sonreir

Y si otra vez quieres volver
Tu bien sabes que me encontraras
Porque nunca yo te voy a olvidar
Puedes venir que yo se esperar y sonreir

Puttin' On The Style


Puttin' On The Style
Composer(s): George P. Wright; Norman Cazden
Performer(s): Lonnie Donegan;
and various other artists



Sweet sixteen goes to church just to see the boys
Laughs and screams and giggles at every little noise
Turns her face a little, and turns her head awhile
But everybody knows she's only putting on the style

She's putting on the agony, putting on the style
That's what all the young folks are doing all the while
And as I look around me I sometimes have to smile
Seeing all the young folks putting on the style

Well the young man in the hot rod car, driving like he's mad
In a pair of yellow gloves he's borrowed from his dad
He makes it roar so lively just to make his girlfriend smile
But she knows he's only putting on the style

He's putting on the agony, putting on the style
That's what all the young folks are doing all the while
And as I look around me I sometimes have to smile
Seeing all the young folks putting on the style

Preacher in the pulpit, roars with all his might
Sings Glory Hallelujah, puts the folks all in a fright
Now you might think it's Satan coming down the aisle
But it's only our poor preacher boys putting on the style

Putting on the agony, putting on the style
That's what all the young folks are doing all the while
And as I look around me I sometimes have to smile
Seeing all the young folks putting on the style

Putting on the agony, putting on the style
That's what all the young folks are doing all the while
And as I look around me I sometimes have to smile
Seeing all the young folks putting on the style

Putting on the agony, putting on the style
That's what all the young folks are doing all the while
And as I look around me I sometimes have to smile
Seeing all the young folks putting on the style

Puttin' On The Ritz


Puttin' On The Ritz
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Fred Astaire;
and various other artists



Have you seen the well-to-do
Up and down Park Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air

High hats and arrowed collars
Wide spats and fifteen dollars
Spending every dime
For a wonderful time

If you're blue and you don't know
Where to go to, why don't you go
Where fashion sits
Puttin' on the Ritz

Different types, who wear a day coat
Pants with stripes, and cut away coat
Perfect fits
Puttin' on the Ritz

Dressed up like a million dollar trooper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper
Super-duper!

Come, let's mix where Rockerfellers
Walk with sticks, or umber-ellas
In their mitts
Puttin' on the Ritz

Spangled gowns upon a beauty
Of hand-me-downs, on clown and cutie
All misfits
Puttin' on the Ritz

Strolling up the avenue so happy
All dressed up just like an English chappie
Very snappy!

You'll declare it's simply topping
To be there, and hear them swapping
Smart tidbits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Puttin' on the Ritz
Puttin' on the Ritz

Sono Solo Canzonette


Sono Solo Canzonette
Composer(s): Edoardo Bennato
First release by: Edoardo Bennato - 1980



Mi ricordo che anni fa
di sfuggita dentro un bar
ho sentito un juke-box che suonava
e nei sogni di bambino
la chitarra era una spada
e chi non ci credeva era un pirata!
... e la voglia di cantare
e la voglia di volare
forse mi è venuta proprio allora
forse è stata una pazzia
però è l'unica maniera di dire sempre quello
che mi va!
Non potrò mai diventare
direttore generale
delle poste e delle ferrovie
non potrò mai far carriera
nel giornale della sera
anche perché finirei in galera!
... mai nessuno mi darà
il suo voto per parlare
o per decidere del suo futuro
nella mia categoria
tutta gente poco seria
di cui non ci si può fidare!...
Guarda invece che scienziati
che dottori, che avvocati
che folla di ministri e deputati!
Pensa che in questo momento
proprio mentre io sto cantando
stanno seriamente lavorando!
... per i dubbi e le domande
che ti assillano la mente
va da loro e non ti preoccupare
sono a tua disposizione
e sempre, senza esitazione
loro ti risponderanno!...
... io di risposte non ne ho!
io faccio solo rock'n roll!
... se ti conviene bene
io più di tanto non posso fare!...
Gli impresari di partito
mi hanno fatto un altro invito
e hanno detto che finisce male
se non vado pure io
al raduno generale
della grande festa nazionale!
... hanno detto che non posso
rifiutarmi proprio adesso
che anche a loro devo il mio successo
che son pazzo ed incosciente
sono un irriconoscente
un sovversivo, un mezzo criminale!...
Ma che ci volete fare
non vi sembrerò normale
ma è l'istinto che mi fa volare!
Non c'è gioco né finzione
perché l'unica illusione
è quella della realtà, della ragione!
... però a quelli in malafede
sempre a caccia delle streghe
dico: no! Non è una cosa seria!
E così è se vi pare
ma lasciatemi sfogare
non mettetemi alle strette
o con quanto fiato ho in gola
vi urlerò: non c'è paura!
Ma c'è politica, che cultura
sono solo canzonette!...

Put Your Shoes On, Lucy


Put Your Shoes On, Lucy
Composer(s): Hank Fort
Performer(s): Petula Clark;
and various other artists



Got an invitation to visit Manhattan
With my highfalutin' kin
Sent off to the catalog to get some clothes
Felt so stylish from my head to my toes

Seen all the sights and I even did some flirtin'
I was doin' alright till my feet started hurtin'
So I kicked off my shoes when I thought they couldn't see
But they must have, 'cos this is what they all said to me

Put your shoes on, Lucy, don't you know you're in the city
Put your shoes on, Lucy, it's really such a pity
That Lucy can't go barefoot wherever she goes
'Cause she loves to feel the wiggle of her toes

Put your shoes on Lucy 'cause you're here in old New York
You'll get by alrighty if you let 'em hear you talk
All the city slickers love that southern drawl
So give 'em that "Honey chile" and "Hi, y'all"

Lucy, let the good things happen
Lucy, won't you stop that gapin'
How you act will be the death of me
Don't they have skyscrapers down in Tennessee

Put your shoes on, Lucy, even though they kinda pinch
Stop baulkin', you gotta do some walkin', it's a cinch
Use your party manners, you'll need them and how
Put your shoes on Lucy, you're a big girl now

Majesty Of Love


Majesty Of Love
Composer(s): Ben Raleigh - Don Wolf
Performer(s): Marvin Rainwater & Connie Francis



Every time you're close
When you touch me tenderly
I feel the majesty of love

Every time you hold my hand
In my heart I understand
This is the majesty of love

Only you, only you
Can hold me with one little kiss
Only you, only you
Could make me feel like this

Keep on holding me this way
We were meant to be this way
This is the majesty of love

Tell me you're forever mine
Tell me till the end of time
We'll share the majesty of love
... Love

Tell me you're forever mine
Tell me till the end of time
We'll share the majesty of love
... Love

... Love

Put Your Lights On


Put Your Lights On
Composer(s): Erik Schrody
Performer(s): Santana; Paul Fenech



Hey now, all you sinners
Put your lights on, put your lights on
Hey now, all you lovers
Put your lights on, put your lights on
Hey now, all you killers
Put your lights on, put your lights on
Hey now, all you children
Leave your lights on, you better leave your lights on
Cause there's a monster living under my bed
Whispering in my ear
There's an angel, with a hand on my head
She say I've got nothing to fear
There's a darkness deep in my soul
I still got a purpose to serve
So let your light shine, into my home
God, don't let me lose my nerve
Lose my nerve
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
Wo oh hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
Hey now, all you sinners
Put your lights on, put your lights on
Hey now, all you children
Leave your lights on, you better leave your lights on
Because there's a monster living under my bed
Whispering in my ear
There's an angel, with a hand on my head
She say's I've got nothing to fear
La ill aha ill allah
We all shine like stars
We all shine like stars
Then we fade away

Le Mal Aimé


Le Mal Aimé
(Adapted from: Daydreamer - 1973)
Composer(s): Terry Dempsey - Eddy Marnay
Performer(s): Claude François - 1974



J'ai besoin qu'on m'aime
Mais personne ne comprend
Ce que j'espère et que j'attends
Qui pourrait me dire qui je suis?
Et j'ai bien bien peur
Toute ma vie d'être incompris
Car aujourd'hui: je me sens mal aimé

Je suis le mal aimé
Les gens me connaissent
Tel que je veux me montrer
Mais ont-ils cherché à savoir
D'où me viennent mes joies?
Et pourquoi ce désespoir
Caché au fond de moi

Si les apparences
Sont quelquefois contre moi
Je ne suis pas ce que l'on croit
Contre l'aventure de chaque jour
J'échangerais demain la joie d'un seul amour
Mais je suis là comme avant mal aimé

Je suis le mal aimé
Les gens me connaissent
Tel que je veux me montrer
Mais ont-ils cherché à savoir
D'où me viennent mes joies?
Et pourquoi ce désespoir
Caché au fond de moi

Car je suis mal aimé

Je suis le mal aimé
Les gens me connaissent
Tel que je veux me montrer
Mais ont-ils cherché à savoir
D'où me viennent mes joies?
Et pourquoi ce désespoir
Caché au fond de moi

Je suis le mal aimé
Les gens me connaissent
Tel que je veux me montrer
Mais ont-ils cherché à savoir
D'où me viennent mes joies?
Et pourquoi ce désespoir
Caché au fond de moi

Put Your Head On My Shoulder


Put Your Head On My Shoulder
Composer(s): Paul Anka
Performer(s): Paul Anka



Put your head on my shoulder
Hold me in your arms, baby
Squeeze me oh so tight
Show me that you love me too

Put your lips next to mine, dear
Won’t you kiss me once, baby
Just a kiss goodnight, may be
You and I will fall in love

People say that love’s a game
A game you just can’t win
If there’s a way
I’ll find it someday
And then this fool with rush in

Put your head on my shoulder
Whisper in my ear, baby
Words I want to hear
Tell me, tell me that you love me too

Put your head on my shoulder
Whisper in my ear, baby
Words I want to hear, baby
Put your head on my shoulder

Daydreamer


Daydreamer
(French Version: Le Mal Aimé - 1974)
Composer(s): Terry Dempsey
First release by: David Cassidy - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists



I remember April, when the sun was in the sky
Love was burning in your eyes
Nothing in the world could bother me
'Cause I was living in a world of ecstasy
But now you're gone
I'm just a daydreamer, I'm walking in the rain
Chasing after rainbows I may never find again
Life is much too beautiful to live it all alone
Oh, how much I need someone to call my very own

Now the summers over and I found myself alone
With only memories of you
I was so in love, I couldn't see
'Cause I was living in a world of make believe
But now your gone
I'm just a daydreamer, I'm walking in the rain
Chasing after rainbows I may never find again
Life is much too beautiful to live it all alone
Oh, how much I need someone, to call my very own

I'm just a daydreamer, I'm walking in the rain
Chasing after rainbows I may never find again
Life is much too beautiful to live it all alone
Oh, how much I need someone to call my very own

I'm just a daydreamer, walking in the rain
Chasing after rainbows I may never find again
Life is much too beautiful to live it all alone
Oh, how much I need someone, to call my very own

I'm just a daydreamer, baby

Put Your Hand In The Hand


Put Your Hand In The Hand
Composer(s): Gene MacLellan
Performer(s): Lynn Anderson;
and various other artists



Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself
And you can look at others differently
Put your hand in the hand of the man
From Galilee
My momma taught me how to pray
Before I reached the age of seven
When I'm down on my knees
That's when I'm closest to heaven
Daddy lived his life, two kids and a wife
Well you do what you must do
But he showed me enough of what it takes
To get me through.
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself
And you can look at others differently
Put your hand in the hand of the man
From Galilee
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself
And you can look at others differently
Put your hand in the hand of the man
From Galilee
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself
And you can look at others differently
Put your hand in the hand of the man
From Galilee
Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee
Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee

Love Me For A Reason


Love Me For A Reason
Composer(s): John Bristol - Wade Bowen - David Jones
First release by: Johnny Bristol - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists



Girl when you hold me
How you control me
You bend and you fold me
Anyway you please

It must be easy for you
The loving things that you do
But just a pastime for you
I could never be

And I never know, girl
If I should stay or go
'Cos the games that you play
Keep driving me away

Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love
Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love

Kisses and caresses
Are only minor tests, babe
Of love, lead to stresses
Between a woman and a man

So if love everlasting
Isn't what you're asking
I'll have to pass, girl
I'm proud to take a stand

I can't continue guessing
Because it's only messing
With my pride and my mind
So right now it's time to tell ya

Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love
Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love

I'm just a little old-fashioned
It'll take more than physical attraction
My initial reaction is honey give me love
Not a facsimile of

Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love
Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love

Don't love me for fun, ooh baby
Let me be the one
Love me, love me for a reason
Let the reason be love
Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love

Waar Ben Je Nou?

Waar Ben Je Nou?
Composer(s): E. Den Hoed
Performer(s): Ann Christy



Soms ben ik moe
Aan een pauze toe
Het is moeilijk te verwerken
Daar te zijn
Was zo fijn
Ook al liet ik het niet merken

Waar ben je nou?
Ik hou toch van jou
Het was zo fijn
Samen gelukkig te zijn

Wat nu is gebeurd
Heeft alles gekleurd
Toch blijf ik nog hopen
Mijn liefde voor jou
Alsook m’n trouw
Waarom ben je gaan lopen?

Waar ben je nou?
Ik hou toch van jou
Het was zo fijn
Samen gelukkig te zijn

De tijd zal het leren hoe verder te gaan
Toch blijf ik altijd nog hopen
Mijn verlangen naar jou zal altijd blijven bestaan
Mijn deur blijft altijd open
Jarenlang was ik nooit zo bang
Ga je nog komen?
Het blijft bij mij
Zoals je toen zei ...
Toch zal ik slechts dromen

Waar ben je nou?
Ik hou toch van jou
Het was zo fijn, samen gelukkig te zijn
Het was zo fijn, samen gelukkig te zijn

De tijd zal het leren hoe verder te gaan
Mijn deur blijft altijd open
De tijd zal het leren hoe verder te gaan
Toch blijf ik altijd nog hopen

Came up to you one night
Noticed the look in your eye
Saw you was on your own

Both of you smell the same
Still on your feet, still standing

Superman comes to meet you
Looks twice the size of me

W.S. Walcott Medicine Show

W.S. Walcott Medicine Show
Composer(s): Robbie Robertson
Performer(s: The Band; Hans Staymer Band



When your arms are empty
got nowhere to go

Come on out and catch the show
There'll be saints and sinners
You'll see losers and winners
All kinds of people you might want to know
Once you get it, you can't forget it
W.S. Walcott Medicine Show

You know he always holds it in a tent
And if you're looking for the real thing
He can show you where it went

There's a young faith healer
He's a woman stealer
He will cure by his command
When the music's hot you might have to stand
To hear the Klondike Klu Klux steamboat band
Don't you sweat it
You can't forget it
W.S. Walcott Medicine Show

I'd rather die happy than not die at all
And a man is a fool who will not heed the call

Gonna see Miss Brer Foxhole
She's got diamonds in her teeth
She is real gold down underneath
She's a rock and roll singer and a true dead ringer
For something like you ain't never seen
Once you get it, you can't forget it

(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Carter Family
and multiple other artists



My latest sun is sinking fast
My race is nearly run
My strongest trials now are past
My triumph has began

Oh, come angel band
Come and around me stand
Bear me away on your snowy wings
To my immortal home
Bear me away on your snowy wings
To my immortal home

I know I'm near the holy ranks
Of friends and kindred dear
I brush the dew on Jordan's banks
The crossing must be near

Oh, come angel band
Come and around me stand
Bear me away on your snowy wings
To my immortal home
Bear me away on your snowy wings
To my immortal home

I've almost gained my heavenly home
My spirit loudly sings
The holy ones, behold they come
I hear the noise of wings

Oh, come angel band
Come and around me stand
Bear me away on your snowy wings
To my immortal home
Bear me away on your snowy wings
To my immortal home

Oh, bear my longing heart to him
Who bled and died for me
Whose blood now cleanses from all sins
And gives me victory

Oh, come angel band
Come and around me stand
Bear me away on your snowy wings
To my immortal home
Bear me away on your snowy wings
To my immortal home
