Hanging On The Telephone


Hanging On The Telephone
Composer(s): Jack Lee
Performer(s): Blondie



I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall
If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall
I know he's there, but I just had to call
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
I heard your mother now she's going out the door
Did she go to work or just go to the store
All those things she said, I told you to ignore
Oh why can't we talk again
Oh why can't we talk again
Oh why can't we talk again
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long
If I don't get your call then everything goes wrong
I want to tell you something you've known all along
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

I had to interrupt and stop this conversation
Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation
I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection
Oh I can't control myself
Oh I can't control myself
Oh I can't control myself
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

Hang up and run to me
Whoah, hang up and run to me
Whoah, hang up and run to me
Whoah, hang up and run to me
Whoah oh oh oh run to me

Ai, ai, ai, ai
É o canto do prigoneiro
Que com sua harmonia
Traz alegria

Ai, ai, ai, ai
E o que faz em seu tabuleiro
Vende pra ioiô
E vende pra iaiá
In South American way
E vende vatapá
E vende caruru
E vende mungunzá
Vende umbu
No tabuleiro tem
Oi tem de tudo tem
E só não tem meu bem
Berenguendem

Ai, ai, ai, ai
Have you ever danced in the tropics?
With that hazy lazy
Like, kind of crazy
Like South American way
Ai, ai, ai, ai
Have you ever kissed in the moonlight
In the grand and glorious
Gay notorious
South American way

Hanging Gardens


Hanging Gardens
Performer(s): Nico



A hazy horizon is closing
The curtain to our perfect stage
How I stumbled twisted slightly
Atrociously
The world is landing at my feet

Who all of the faces could it be
Where all of the places should it be
Laughing and coughing
Coughing and laughing
In the hanging gardens
Of Semiramis

A hazy horizon is closing
The curtain to our perfect stage
I stumbled twisted slightly
Atrociously
The world is landing at my feet

Who all of the faces could it be
Where all of the places should it be
Laughing and coughing
Coughing and laughing
In the hanging gardens
Of Semiramis

Hangin' Five


Hangin' Five
Composer(s): Ben Acton
Performer(s): Delltones



Well it's early in the morning and it's time to make a start
And I put my poly surfboard on the rack upon my car
I head down to the surfside, where the waves fine
I'm gonna catch a mountain but I won't go down the mine

You gotta walk the plank, ride the hook
Gonna let them ride and keep it nice and tight
Now the time is growing near your movin' down the wall
Asteady as she goes you got your toes upon the nose
And now you hang five, hang five
Hangin' five toes upon the mallibo

And now you've hit the beach and your feeling might fine
You turn your board around for the second time
You make it out the back the swells are coming fast
The first ones are too small, and so you take the last

You gotta walk the plank ride the hook
Gonna let them ride, and keep it nice and tight
Now the time is growing near your movin down the wall
Asteady as she goes you got your toes upon the nose
And now you hang five, hang five
Hangin' five toes upon the mallibo
Let's stomp

And when the day is over and all the surfers meet
You go down to the surf club to dance and stomp the beat
and when the night is through you hear the fellas say
Don't forget tomorrow you got another day

You gotta walk the plank ride the hook
Gonna let them ride and keep it nice and tight
Now the time is growing near your movin down the wall
Asteady as she goes you got your toes upon the nose
And now you hang five, hang five
Hangin' five toes upon the mallibo
Upon the mallibo
Hang Five
Hang Five
You know you gotta walk the plank Frank
Get your toes right upon that nose there
Hang Five
Hang Five
Hang Five
Hang Five

South America, Take It Away


South America, Take It Away
Composer(s): Harold Rome
Performer(s): Bing Crosby & The Andrews Sisters



Up here in the land of the hot-dog stand
The atom bomb and the Good Humor Man
We think our South American neighbors are grand
We love 'em to beat the band

South America, baba-loo, baba-loo, ay-ee-eh, baba-loo
One favor you can do, ay-ee-eh, you can do
You beautiful lands below
Don't know what you began
To put it plainly, I'm tired of shakin'
To that Pan-American plan

Take back your Samba, ay!, your Rumba, ay!, your Conga, ay-yi-yi!
I can't keep movin', ay!, my chassis, ay!, any longer, ay-yi-yi!
Now maybe Latins, ay!, in their middles, ay!, are built stronger, ay-yi-yi!
But all this takin' to the quakin' and this makin' with the shakin' leaves me achin', olé!

First shake around and settle there
Then you shake around and settle here
Then you shake around and settle there
That's enough, that's enough
Take it back, my spine's outta-whack
There's a strange click-clack
In the back of my sacroilliac

Take back your Conga, ay!, your Samba, ay!, your Rumba, ay-yi-yi!
Why can't you send us, ay!, a less strenu-, ay!, -ous number, ay-yi-yi!
I got more bumps now, ay!, than on a, ay!, cucumber, ay-yi-yi!
While all those Latin drums are cloppin', like a Jumpin' Jack I'm hoppin' without stoppin', olé!
South America, take it away

First you shake around and settle there (where?)
Then you shake around and settle here (oh, there)
And then you shake around and settle there (why Bing!)
That's enough, that's enough
Take it back, my spine's outta-whack
There's a strange click-clack
In the back of my sacroilliac
Oh, my achin' back

Take back your Conga, ay!, your Samba, ay!, your Rumba, ay-yi-yi!
Bring back the old days, ay!, of dancing I remember, ay-yi-yi!
My hips are cracking, I am shrieking "Ay-Carumba!", ay-yi-yi!
I got a wriggle and a diddle and a jiggle like a fiddle in my middle, olé!
This fancy swishin' imposition wears out all of my transmission, ammunition, olé!
Though I like neighborly relations all these crazy new gyrations try my patience, olé!
South America, take it away!

Hang Up My Rock 'N' Roll Shoes


Hang Up My Rock 'N' Roll Shoes
Composer(s): Chuck Willis
Performer(s): The Band;
and various other artists



Mama, she done told me
She didn't like this rock and roll
But mama, mama, please
Mama, you just don't know
I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
I get an old time feeling
Every time I hear the blues

They told me, "Get a job
And set yourself a goal"
But can't they understand
I just want to rock and roll
I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
Something happens to me
Every time I hear the blues

I will do my homework
I'll clean the yard every day
I will even do the dishes
I'll do anything you say

That say that rock and roll
It'll soon fade away
But I just want to tell you
Rock and roll is here to stay
I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
I get a good time feeling
Every time I hear the blues

Some might even say
It put the devil in my soul
But that's a bunch of shit
I just want to rock and roll
I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
My feets got to move now
Every time I hear the blues

Dis Oui


Dis Oui
Composer(s): Philippe Swan
First performance by: Mélanie Cohl - 1998



Viens
Si tu es fatigué du vide de tes amours
Si tu ne crois plus aux jamais ni aux toujours
Si tu veux t'arrêter juste pour souffler un peu
Si tu crois qu'on peut être heureux

Viens
Si tu n'en peux plus d'être là à concourir
Moi, je veux me chauffer au bois de ton sourire
On va remplir l'espace de nos éclats de rire
Un jour, il faut partir

Dis oui
Tu sais, c'est beau la Terre
Dis oui
Quand on est solidaires
Et puis
Le monde est à refair
Dis oui
Viens pour la vie, viens pour une heure

Tiens, quelque chose a changé dans le ciel ce matin
On dirait que l'air est plus pur et c'est bien
Tu sais, les clefs de l'avenir sont dans nos mains
Alors, c'est quand que tu me rejoins?

Dis oui
Au moins nous serons ensemble
Dis oui
On est plus forts ensemble
Et puis
Et puis on se ressemble
Dis oui
Moi, je veux t'apprendre par cœur

Tu en as marre de ces bombes
Qui éclatent tout autour de nous
Tu rêves d'un autre monde
Où l'argent ne réglera pas tout
Alors n'écoute plus ceux
Qui te répètent qu'on a tort
Tu sais, il suffit d'être deux
Pour croire qu'on est déjà plus forts

Viens
Si tu es fatigué du vide de tes amours
Si tu ne crois plus aux "jamais" ni aux "toujours"
Si tu veux t'arrêter juste pour souffler un peu
Si tu crois qu'on peut être heureux

Dis oui
Tu sais, c'est beau la Terre
Dis oui
Quand on est solidaires
Et puis
Le monde est à refaire
Dis oui
Viens pour la vie, viens pour une heure

Dis oui
Dis oui

Hang Out The Stars


Hang Out The Stars
Composer(s): Jack Lawrence
Performer(s): The Bell Sisters



Hang out the stars
Light up the moon
Warm up the breeze
Strike up the tune
Wake up the birds
A lark and a dove
The scene must be right
For tonight
Yes tonight's
The night for love

Hear the soft duet
See the silhouette
Of the dancers
And romancers
On the distant shore
There's a troubadour
And his melody
Is meant for you and me

At first, our fingertips meet
And then, at last, our lips meet
And when, at last, our lips meet
The kiss is so sweet
Two hearts skip a beat

Hang out the stars
Light up the moon
Send down the mist
On the lagoon
Wake up the dreams
We're dreaming of
The scene must be right
For tonight
Yes tonight's
The night for love

Hang out the stars
Light up the moon
Warm up the breeze
Strike up the tune
Wake up the birds
A lark and a dove
The scene must be right
For tonight
Yes tonight's
The night for love

Hang out the stars
Moon high above
My love, hold me tight
Hold me tight
For tonight's the night for love

South


South
(French Version: Le Sud - 1974)
Composer(s): Nino Ferrer
First recording/First release by: Nino Ferrer - 1973/1974



Between the big trees
The flowers and the green grass
The house is there
It's white and brown
And covered
With green vine
Which looks like hair

We call it the south
Cause time is so long there
That life sure will take us
More than a million years

And we like to stay there

So many children are playing in the garden
So many dogs
There is a cat and a turtle and an old well
But not a frog

We call it the south
Cause time is so long there
That life sure will take us
More than a million years

And we like to stay there

I know one day I'll have to leave the sweet life
Back to the dark
Don't really care but they won't ask my opinion
As a matter of fact

I hope it's the south
Cause time is so long there
That life sure will take us
More than a million years

And we like to stay there

Le Sud


Le Sud
(Adapted from: South - 1973/1974)
Composer(s): Nino Ferrer
Performer(s): Nino Ferrer - 1974
and multiple other artists



C'est un endroit qui ressemble à la Louisiane
À l'Italie
Il y a du linge étendu sur la terrasse
Et c'est joli

On dirait le Sud
Le temps dure longtemps
Et la vie sûrement
Plus d'un million d'années
Et toujours en été

Il y a plein d'enfants qui se roulent sur la pelouse
Il y a plein de chiens
Il y a même un chat, une tortue, des poissons rouges
Il ne manque rien

On dirait le Sud
Le temps dure longtemps
Et la vie sûrement
Plus d'un million d'années
Et toujours en été

Un jour ou l'autre il faudra qu'il y ait la guerre
On le sait bien
On n'aime pas ça, mais on ne sait pas quoi faire
On dit c'est le destin

Tant pis pour le Sud
C'était pourtant bien
On aurait pu vivre
Plus d'un million d'années
Et toujours en été

Hang On To Me
Composer(s): George Gershwin; Ira Gershwin
Performer(s): Fred Astaire;
and various other artists



Trouble may hound us
Shadows surround us
Never mind, no fear
Don’t be down hearted, when we get started
They will disappear
Listen to brother
While we’ve each other
There’s no pain, I hear
For like peas in a pod
We will prove it’s not hard
If you hang on to me
While I hang on to you
We’ll find our way to the sunshine
Out of the rain
Forever and a day
That’s right, hold tight
We’re on our way
It’s clear
It’s clear
We’ll loose the shadows
If you’ll hang on to me
While I hang on to you
We’ll find our way to the sunshine
Out of the rain
If you’ll just simply hang on to me
Hang on to me
While I hang on tight to you
To you
We’ll loose the shadows
And find our way
Forever and a day

Kärleken Är


Kärleken Är
Composer(s): Hakan Almqvist - Ingela "Pling" Forsman - Bobby Ljunggren
First performance by: Jill Johnson - 1998



Här, i den stilla gryningen
Kan jag känna, allting andas, igen
Dom tunga molnen
drev iväg med vindarna
Inga tårar, ifrån himlen
blir till regn
Vi, hör orden i en sång, som
finns kvar här i våra hjärtan
Nu, i lugnet efter storm

En ängel flög förbi
Mot himmelen så fri
Men hon lämnade sitt leende
på vår jord
Som en sol som värmer oss
Som ett himmelskt stjärnebloss
Så vi kan betrakta livets skeende
med en tro
Kärleken är

Och när natten sänker sig
Är vi trygga i varandras andetag
En vind, som smyger sig hit in
bär en doft utav vilda rosor

En ängel flög förbi
Mot himmelen så fri
Men hon lämnade sitt leende
på vår jord
Som en sol som värmer oss
Som ett himmelskt stjärnebloss
Så vi kan betrakta livets skeende
med en tro
Kärleken är

Oohh... Aahhh... Ohh

En ängel flög förbi
Mot himmelen så fri
Men hon lämnade sitt leende
på vår jord
Som en sol som värmer oss
Som ett himmelskt stjärnebloss
Så vi kan betrakta livets skeende
med en tro
Att kärleken är

Composer(s): Tim Hardin
Performer(s): Tim Hardin;
and various other artists



What can I say, she's walking away
From what we've seen
What can I do, still loving you
It's all a dream

How can we hang on to a dream
How can it ever be the way it seems

What can I do, she's saying we're through
With how it was
What will I try, I still don't see why
She says what she does

How can we hang on to a dream
How can it ever be the way it seems

What can I say, she's walking away
From what we've seen
What can I do, still loving you
It's all a dream

How can we hang on to a dream
How can it ever be the way it seems
How can we hang on to a dream

What can I say, she's walking away
From what we've seen
What can I do, still loving you
It's all a dream

How can we hang on to a dream
How can it will it be the way it seems
How can we hang on to a dream

Sous Les Ponts De Paris


Sous Les Ponts De Paris
(English Version: Under The Bridges Of Paris)
Composer(s): Jean Rodor - Vincent Scotto
Performer(s): Lucienne Delyle
and multiple other artists



Pour aller à Suresnes ou bien à Charenton
Tout le long de la Seine on passe sous les ponts
Pendants le jour, suivant son cours
Tout Paris en bateau défile
L' cœur plein d'entrain, ça va, ça vient
Mais l' soir lorsque tout dort tranquille.......

Sous les ponts de Paris, lorsque descend la nuit
Tout's sort's de gueux se faufil'nt en cachette
Et sont heureux de trouver une couchette
Hôtel du courant d'air, où l'on ne paie pas cher
L'parfum et l'eau c'est pour rien mon marquis
Sous les ponts de Paris

A la sortie d' l'usine, Julot rencontre Nini
Ça va t'y la rouquine, c'est la fête aujourd'hui
Prends ce bouquet, quelqu's brins d' muguet
C'est peu mais c'est tout' ma fortune
Viens avec moi; j' connais l'endroit
Où l'on n' craint même pas l'clair de lune

Sous les ponts de Paris, lorsque descend la nuit
Comme il n'a pas de quoi s' payer une chambrette
Un couple heureux vient s'aimer en cachette
Et les yeux dans les yeux faisant des rêves bleus
Julot partage les baisers de Nini
Sous les ponts de Paris

Rongée par la misère, chassée de son logis
L'on voit un' pauvre mère avec ses trois petits
Sur leur chemin, sans feu ni pain
Ils subiront leur sort atroce
Bientôt la nuit la maman dit
Enfin ils vont dormir mes gosses

Sous les ponts de Paris, lorsque descend la nuit
Viennent dormir là tout près de la Seine
Dans leur sommeil ils oublieront leur peine
Si l'on aidait un peu, tous les vrais miséreux
Plus de suicid's ni de crim's dans la nuit
Sous les ponts de Paris

Hang On The Bell, Nellie


Hang On The Bell, Nellie
Performer(s): The Chad Mitchell Trio; Billy Cotton



The scene was in the jailhouse, and if curfew rang that night
Nell's dad in number 13 cell would go out like a light
She knew her dad was innocent, so plucky Little Nell
She tied her tender torso to the clapper of the bell

Hang on the bell, Nellie, hang on the bell
Your poor daddy's locked in a cold prison cell
As you swing to the left, Nellie swing to the right
Remember that curfew bell must never ring tonight

It all started when sweet Nellie said, "No! No!" to Handsome Jack
And struggled for her virtue there down by the railroad track
Nell's dad came to her rescue as the train roared down the line
Jack fell back across the track and paid the price of crime

Nell's dad he got arrested, and brought up before the Law
The Sheriff said, "Old Handsome Jack ain't handsome any more"
Poor Nell she cried and pleaded, but the jury didn't care
They didn't have a sofa, so they offered him the chair

They pulled upon the bell rope, but there was no ting-a-ling
They could not get their foul deed done, for curfew would not ring
To and fro aloft swung Nell, while below they pulled and heaved
When suddenly a voice cried "Stop! Your daddy's been reprieved!"

They cut her fair young body down, while she made protests weak
And as they laid her out upon the ground, she cried in girlish pique
"Look I tried to save my daddy, which was true a noble thing
But still, while I was up there, man I learned it's fun to swing"

Hang on the bell, Nellie, hang on the bell
So your poor daddy's sprung from his cold prison cell
As you swing to the left, Nellie swing to the right
No matter when that curfew rings, we're gonna swing tonight

Hemel En Aarde


Hemel En Aarde
First performance by: Edsilia Rombley - 1998



Nederland was koel en kil en dan vooral het weer
De wind die laat nooit stil en mijn liefdes leven des te meer
Wat ik in jou ogen las ontsnapte bij mij het vuur
Zo word nog wel is onderschat de kracht van de natuur

Hemel en aarde bewegen als jij voor mij staat
Het is voor mij bewezen dat het lot bestaat
Hemel en aarde gaan open als jij mij aanraakt
Ik wilde nooit geloven maar er is meer tussen hemel en aarde

Zwarte luchten breken open aan de horizon
Nu zal ik me warmen aan de stralen van de zon
Ik heb de liefde geprobeerd maar het was nooit wat het leek
Maar ik zag de toekomst toen ik in jouw ogen keek

Hemel en aarde bewegen als jij voor mij staat
Het is voor mij bewezen dat het lot bestaat
Hemel en aarde gaan open als jij mij aanraakt
Ik wilde nooit geloven maar er is meer tussen hemel en aarde

Als jij voor mij staat, dat het lot bestaat
Hemel en aarde gaan open als jij mij aanraakt
Ik wilde nooit geloven maar er is meer
Als jij voor mij staat, dat het lot bestaat
Hemel en aarde
Ik wilde nooit geloven, maar er is meer tussen hemel en aarde
