Happy Anniversary (Charles Aznavour)
Happy Anniversary
Titles In Other Languages:
Bon Anniversaire; Buon Anniversario; Qué Buen Aniversario
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Herbert Kretzmer
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
I’ve been ready for hours and I’m wearing my best
Ordered champagne and flowers and you’re not even dressed
Tonight’s a special night to remember with pride
These twenty happy years since you became my bride
It is all too absurd; you’re so cross and abrupt
But I don’t say a word or you’re bound to erupt
Your peculiar moods I’ve experienced before
So I’ll pour another drink and quietly pace the floor
It’s a quarter to eight as we fretfully wait
For your little black dress; that was promised by six
Is it just rotten luck when we’re doing the town
That the fates should conspire to let us mortals down
I have seats for a show and it’s opening night
My shoes do not fit me and my suit is too tight
And you sit there and curse, an occasional curse
And I’ve got a headache that’s quickly getting worse
Happy anniversary, Happy anniversary
They deliver your frock but you’re still in distress
It was past nine o clock when I helped you to dress
I tried to do you up but it wasn’t my day
For then to fill my cup your zipper stuck half way
I got all in a sweat, over anxious and vexed
Will I ever forget the thing that happened next
Your dress came apart with one terrible tear
Your disappointed cries were more than I could bear
At eleven at last, when we got into town
We arrived at the show but the curtain was down
I suggested a bite. No, no you wanted to walk
You had no appetite and no desire to talk
So we strolled for an hour and the evening was sweet
And I bought you a flower from a man in the street
And we kissed on the sidewalk without reason or rhyme
And we knew that our love is stronger than time
Happy anniversary, Happy anniversary, Happy anniversary

This Nearly Was Mine
This Nearly Was Mine
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Barbara Cook
and multiple other artists
Emily:
One dream in my heart
One love to be livin' for
One love to be livin' for
This nearly was mine
One girl for my dream
One partner in paradise
This promise of paradise
This nearly was mine
Close to my heart she came
Only to fly away
Only to fly as day flies from moonlight
Now, now I'm alone
Still dreamin' of paradise
Still sayin' that paradise
Once nearly was mine
I'll keep rememberin' kisses
From lips I've never owned
And all that lovely adventures
That we have never known
One dream in my heart
One love to be livin' for
One love to be livin' for
This nearly was mine
Close to my heart she came
Only to fly away
Only to fly as day flies from moonlight
Now, now I'm alone
Still a-dreamin' of paradise
Still sayin' that paradise
Once nearly was mine!

Happy
Happy
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones
Well I never kept a dollar past sunset
It always burned a hole in my pants
Never made a school mama happy
Never blew a second chance
I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy
Always took candy from strangers
Didn't wanna get me no trade
Never want to be like papa
Working for the boss ev'ry night and day
I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy
Never got a flash out of cocktails
When I got some flesh off the bone
Never got a lift out of Lear jets
When I can fly way back home
I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy

Performer(s): Mary Martin
and multiple other artists
Nellie:
My doll is as dainty as a sparrow
Her figure is somethin' to applaud
Where she's narrow she's as narrow an arrow
And she's broad where a broad should be broad
A hundred and one pounds of fun
That's my little honey bun!
Get a load of honey bun tonight
I'm speakin' of my Sweetie Pie
Only sixty inches high
Ev'ry inch is packed with dynamite!
Her hair is blond and curly
Her curls are hurly-burly
Her lips are pips!
I call her hips 'Twirly' and 'Whirly'
She's my baby, I'm her pap!
I'm her booby, she's my trap!
I am caught and I don't wanna run
'Cause I'm havin' so much fun with honey bun!
I am caught and I don't wanna run
'Cause I'm havin' so much fun with honey bun!
Believe me sonny!
She a cookie who can cook you 'till you're done
Ain't bein' funny!
Sonny, put your money on my honey bun!

There Is Nothing Like A Dame
There Is Nothing Like A Dame
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Richard Rodgers
First performance by: Myron McCormick - 1949
and multiple other artists
We got sunlight on the sand
We got moonlight on the sea
We got mangos and bananas
You can pick right off the tree
We got volleyball and ping-pong
And a lot of dandy games
What ain't we got?
We ain't got dames
We get packages from home
We get movies we get shows
We get speeches from our skipper
And advice from Tokyo Rose
We get letters doused with perfume
We get dizzy from the smell
What don't we get?
You know darn well
We got nothing to put on a clean white suit for
What we need is what there ain't no substitue for
There is nothing like a dame, nothing in the world
There is nothing you can name that is anything like a dame
We feel restless we feel blue
We feel lonely and in grief
We feel every kind of feeling
But the feeling of relief
We feel hungry as the wolf felt
when he met red riding hood
What don't we feel? we don't feel good
Lots of things in life are beautiful but brother
There is one particular thing that is nothing whatsoever in any shape or form like any other
There is nothing like a dame, nothing in the world
There is nothing you can name that is anything like a dame
Nothing else is built the same
Nothing in the world
Has the soft and wavy frame
Like the silhouette of a dame
There's absolutely nothing
like the frame of a dame
So suppose a dame ain't bright
Or completly free from flaws
Or as faithful as a bird dog
Or as kind as santa clause
It's a waste of time to worry
Over things that they have not
Be thankful for the things they've got
There is nothing you can name
That is anything like a dame
There are no books like a dame
And nothing looks like a dame
There are no drinks like a dame
And nothing thinks like a dame
Nothing acts like a dame
Or attracts like a dame
There ain't a thing thats wrong with any man here
That can't be cured by putting him near
a girly, womanly, female, feminine dame

Happiness Runs
Happiness Runs
Composer(s): Donovan Leitch
Performer(s): Mary Hopkin;
Donovan; Christine Lavin; Sudhananda
Little pebble upon the sand
Now you're lying here in my hand
How many years have you been here?
Little human upon the sand
From where I'm lying here in your hand
You to me are but a passing breeze
The sun will always shine where you stand
Depending in which land
You may find yourself
Now, you have my blessing, go your way
La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
Happiness runs in a circular motion
Falters like a little boat upon the sea
All our souls are deeper than you can see
You can have everything if you let yourself be
Everybody is a part of anything, anyway
You can have everything if you let yourself be
Happiness runs, happiness runs
Happiness runs, happiness runs
(3x)
Happiness runs in a circular motion
Falters like a little boat upon the sea
All our souls are deeper than you can see
You can have everything if you let yourself be
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la, let yourself be
Happiness runs, happiness runs
Happiness runs, happiness runs

Happiness Is A Warm Gun
Happiness Is A Warm Gun
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
Performer(s): The Beatles;
and various other artists
She's not a girl, who misses much
Do roo roo roo roo, oh yeah
She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane
The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors
On his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the Nation Trust
I need a fix 'cause I'm going down
Down to the bits that I left uptown
I need a fix cause I'm going down
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun - ahaa
When I hold you in my arms
And I feel my finger on your trigger
I know nobody can do me no harm
Because happiness is a warm
Happiness is a warm gun - Yes it is
Happiness is a warm - Yes it is - gun
Happiness is a warm gun...

Wonder how I'd feel
Livin' on a hillside
Lookin' on an ocean

This is what I've longed for
Someone young and smilin'
Climbin' up my hill!
Nellie:
We are not alike
Probably I'd bore him
He's a cultured Frenchman
I'm a little hick
Emile:
Younger man than I
Officers and doctors
Probably pursue her
She could have her pick
Nellie:
Wonder why I feel
Jittery and jumpy!
I'm like a school girl
Waitin' for a dance
Emile:
Can I ask her now?
I'm like a school boy!
What will be her answer?
Do I have a chance?

Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe
Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe
Composer(s): Harold Arlen; E.Y. "Yip" Harburg
Performer(s): Ethel Waters;
and various other artists
It seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe
He's got a smile that makes the lilac wanta grow
He's got a way that makes the angels heave a sigh
When they know little Joe's passing by
Sometimes the cabin's gloomy and the table's bare
Then he'll kiss me and it's Christmas everywhere
Troubles fly away and life is easy go
Does he love me good, that's all I need to know
Seems like happiness, is just a thing called Joe
Little Joe, little Joe, little Joe

But, to my mind
It's the one I love

Different things to different people
That's what happiness is
Happiness is!

A Cockeyed Optimist
A Cockeyed Optimist
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Mary Martin
and multiple other artists
Nellie:
When the skies are brighter canary yellow
I forget ev'ry cloud I've ever seen
So they called me a cockeyed optimist
Immature and incurably green
I have heard people rant and rave and bellow
That we're done and we might as well be dead
But I'm only a cockeyed optimist
And I can't get it into my head
I hear the human race
Is fallin' on its face
And hasn't very far to go
But ev'ry whippoorwill
Is sellin' me a bill
And tellin' me it just ain't so
I could say life is just a bowl of Jello
And appear more intelligent and smart
But I'm stuck like a dope
With a thing called hope
And I can't get it out of my heart!
Not this heart...

You fill my heart desire
More, more, more and more
And over and over again
Keep that goodness coming
I love the way you watch the world
Through kind eyes
That's why you're never sad, sad
Things don't bother you

You hold on to the good
And you let the bad go by
Yeah, yeah
Happiness
I want your love forever
Happiness
Give me your love forever
More, more, more and more

For A Thousand Years
For A Thousand Years
Composer(s): Sašo Fajon - Primož Peterca
First performance by: Darja Švajger - 1999
Teardrops in my eyes, a dance of glistening rain
Falling from the sky, a carpet of the stars
Clouds of tenderness are fleeing in the light
Now it's here, the light for a thousand years
I tremble in your eyes, I tremble in your palms
Lie inside you deep, in dreams of yours I sleep
Caress you with my eyes and love you with my hands
Yes, I feel the light for a thousand years
I know you are my love
A touch, a kiss, your heart is mine
I know the light is always here
We kiss each other in its shine
I tremble in your eyes, I tremble in your palms
Lie inside you deep, in dreams of yours I sleep
Caress you with my eyes and love you with my hands
Yes, I feel the light for a thousand years
I know you are my love
A touch, a kiss, your heart is mine
I know the light is always here
We kiss each other in its shine

Happiness (Scrooge)
Happiness
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
They say happiness
Is a thing you can't see
A thing you can't touch
I disagree
Happiness is standing beside
A can see him
He can see me
Happiness is whatever
You want it to be
Happiness is a high hill
Will I find it?
Yes, I will
Happiness is a tall tree
Can I climb it?
Watch, and see
They say happiness is
The folly of fools
Pity for me
One of the fools
Happiness is smiling upon me
Walking my way
Sharing my day
Happiness is whatever
You want it to be
Happiness is a bright star
Are we happy?
Yes, we are
Happiness is a clear sky
Give me wings
And let me fly
Let me fly
For, happiness
Is whatever you want it
To be
