Hey, Punchinello


Hey, Punchinello
Composer(s): Jay Livingston; Ray Evans
Performer(s): Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis



There's a famous man who's the idol of ev'ry clown
He started the profession and his tricks he handed down
So ev'ryone who has a yen to be a happy man
Calls on Punchinello to help him if he can!

Punchinello, `ey Punchinello!
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, you wonderful fellow!
The fun you brought us, (JL) The things you taught us
(Both) Make a sad and weary world wonderf'lly mellow!
(Both) Now when we're havin' troubles, a half a mountain high
(Both) A circus clown can knock 'em down and never bat an eye!
(Both) Punchinello, `ey Punchinello!
(DM) Oh, the face of ev'ry clown's a work of art!
(Both) Punchinello, molto bello! You ring a bella, bella bell here in my heart!

(JL) Punchinello, `ey Punchinello!
(JL) All my life I yearned to be your kind of a fellow!
(JL) If I could only make the lonely
(JL) Turn a doubtful little laugh into a bellow!

(DM) To carry off the children to some enchanted land
(DM) To see their eyes in bright surprise is all that he demands!
(JL) `ey Punchinello, (DM) `ey Punchinello!
(JL) Let me change my face and tumble up and down!
(DM) Punchinello, molto bello!
(JL) Do you suppose I have a chance at being a clown!

(High voice) Many years ago in the city of Napoli
(Deep voice) The famous Punchinello was the man they came to see
(Man) The clown would captivate the peasant or the noble prince
(DM) And in ev'ry circus they've done it ever since!

(Both) Punchinello, `ey Punchinello!
(All) La-la-la-la-la-la-la, you wonderful fellow
(All) The fun you brought us, the things you taught us
(All) Make a sad and weary world wonderf'lly mellow!

(DM) The clown who's? in the circus will get a special pride
(DM) When people laugh the kind o' laugh that warms `em up inside!
(All) Punchinello, `ey Punchinello!
(All) Oh, the face of ev'ry clown's a work of art!
(DM & JL) Punchinello, molto bello!
(DM & JL) You ring a bella, bella, bella, bella, bella, bella, bella
bella, bel-la, bel-la, bell here in my heart!
(All) `ey, Punchinello!

If I Had Your Love (Selma)


If I Had Your Love
Composer(s): Þorvaldur Bjarni Þorvaldsson - Vignir 'Viggi' Snær Vigfusson - Selma Björnsdóttir - Linda Thompson
First performance by: Selma - 2005



If I had your love
You would be what most inspires me
Sacred soul, fantasy, brightest light
Guiding me on wings

You would be the heart inside me
What I'd wish on a star
All to me, that is what you are

If I had your love
I could live my dream
Flying high above everything
If I had your love
You would light my world
That would be enough
If I had your love

Oh... if I held you close
Feeling your heart beat beside me
Fast asleep, wide awake, every step
Every move I make

If I had your love
I could live my dream
Flying high above everything
If I had your love
You would light my world
That would be enough
If I had your love

If I had your love
I'd live out my dream
Flying high above
Oh yeah...

If I had your love
I could live my dream
Flying high above everything

If I had your love
You would light my world
That would be enough
If I had your love

Hey, Mr. Bluebird


Hey, Mr. Bluebird
Composer(s): Cindy Walker
Performer(s): The Wilburn Brothers; Ernest Tubb



Hey Mr. Bluebird come stay with me
And you can build your nest in my best apple tree
Hey Mr. Sunshine along with you
Can't seem that friends of mine since all my dreams fell through
I've been so lonesome that I could die
And tears like raindrops keep falling from my eyes
So Mr. Bluebird please be a friend
And teach this blue blue heart of mine to sing again

Hey Mr. Bluebird come stay with me...
And teach this blue blue heart of mine to sing again

Star Eyes


Star Eyes
Composer(s): Don Raye - Gene de Paul
First performance/First recording/First release by:
Helen O'Connell & Bob Eberly/Stephane Grappelli/Jimmy Dorsey's Orchestra - 1943
Covered by multiple other artists



Star Eyes
That to me is what your eyes are
Soft as stars in April skies are
Tell me some day you'll fulfill
Their promise of a thrill
Star Eyes
Flashing eyes in which my hopes rise
Let me show you where my heart lies
Let me prove that it adores
That loveliness of yours
All my life I've felt
Content to stargaze at the skies
Now I only want to to melt
The stardust in your eyes
Star Eyes
When if ever, will my lips know
If it's me for whom those eyes glow?
Makes no diff'rence where you are
Your eyes still hold my wishing star
Oh, Star Eyes, how lovely you are

Some Day The Sun Won't Shine For You


Some Day The Sun Won't Shine For You
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull; Blodwyn Pig



In the morning gonna get my things together
Packing up and leaving this place
I don't believe your crying
There'll be a smile upon your face

I didn't think how much you hurt me
There's something that I'll laugh about
Bring in the good times, baby
And let the bed times out

That old sun keeps on shining
But some day it won't shine for you
In the morning I'll be leaving
I'll leave your mother too

Hey, Mister Sun


Hey, Mister Sun
Composer(s): Danny Janssen
Performer(s): Bobby Sherman



When I got up this morning
I said Good Morning Mr. Sun
I've been looking through the raindrops much too long
I need someone
I can tell you where my mind is at
If you will take the time to listen
Cause it's such a lovely morning
Won't you walk with me
And talk with me Mr. Sun

I've been running all my life now
In search of something I can't find
I've been chasing rainbows
And they're just visions in my mind
There are a lot of lonely people just like me that need someone
To walk with and talk with sometimes Mr. Sun

Hey Mr. Sun
You can change the night to day
You can chase away the rainbows they're just illusion anyway
When I'm standing in the rain
You can come and be my friend
You can make the storm clouds break
And let the sun shine through again

And tomorrow when I'm dreaming
Of some mountain I will climb
You can tap me on the shoulder
And whisper to me from behind
Please remind me of the yesterdays
I tried it all alone
You can tell me that's it's time again
To walk again
And talk again with you
Mr. Sun

Why (Geir Rönning)


Why
Composer(s): Mika Toivanen - Steven Stewart
First performance by: Geir Rönning - 2005



In the night, there's a candle burning
Little light full of ache and yearning
For the child who won't be returning
And all the loved ones left behind

Morning breaks with the news of violence
Nothing moves in the haze of silence
Deep inside it feels like a riot
Oh, where can I find peace of mind?

(And they say that our trouble's just begun)
Tell me how
(Tell me how much we'll lose before we've won)
These tears won't dry

So I'm asking
Why? (Why?) Why?
Will we ever find the answer?
Why? (Why?) Why?
Why can't love be all that matters?
Why? (Why?) Why?
While we try to understand
Faith and hope are slipping through our hands
Can you tell me why?

What's the secret to make things better?
Where's the thread holding us together?
How do we find the key that lets us
Open up our hearts and minds?

Winds of faith blow us past our limits
Spend our lives searching for forgiveness
Can one voice really make a difference?
Still I know we've got to try

(And they say that our trouble's just begun)
Tell me how
(Tell me how much we'll lose before we've won)
These tears won't dry

So I'm asking
Why? (Why?) Why?
Will we ever find the answer?
Why? (Why?) Why?
Why can't love be all that matters?
Why? (Why?) Why?
While we try to understand
That faith and hope are slipping through our hands
(Tell me why)

Tears are falling down like rain
A flood of questions come
It is getting hard to wait
Is really love so hard to find?

So I'm asking
(Why?) Why...?
Will we ever find the answer?
Why? (Why?) Why? (Why?)
Why can't love be all that matters?
Why? (Why?) Why?
While we pray to understand
Faith and hope are slipping through our hands
Tell me why

Hey, Look Me Over!


Hey, Look Me Over!
Composer(s): Cy Coleman; Carolyn Leigh
Performer(s): Louis Armstrong;
and various other artists



Hey look me over, lend me an ear
Fresh out of clover, mortgage up to here
Don’t pass the plate folks, don’t pass the cup
I figure whenever you’re down and out, the only way is up
And I’ll be up like a rosebud high on the vine
Don’t thumb your nose, but take a tip from mine
I’m a little bit short of the elbow room, so let me get me some
And look out world, here I come

Hey look me over, lend me an ear
Fresh out of clover, mortgage up to here
Don’t pass the plate folks, don’t pass the cup
I figure whenever you’re down and out, the only way is up
And I’ll be up like a rosebud high on the vine
Don’t thumb your nose, but take a tip from mine
I’m a little bit short of the elbow room, so let me get me some
And look out world, here I come

Nobody in the world was ever without a prayer
How can you win the world if nobody knows you’re there?

Kid, when you need the crowd, the tickets are hard to sell
Still, you can lead the crowd if you can get up and yell

Hey look me over, lend me an ear
Fresh out of clover, mortgage up to here
I’m a little bit short of the elbow room, so let me get me some
And look out world, here me shout world
And look out world, here I come

Star De L'entracte


Star De L'entracte
Composer(s): Jean-Claude Vannier - Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc



T'as vingt ans, un répondeur, un pseudo
Ton book, ton C.V., ta gueule, ta photo
Dans une pub au ciné pour la bière
Tu bois, tu verse une larme au fond d'ton verre

Pour trente secondes
La camera tourne
Autour de toi

T'es bien trop swing pour rester derrière
Mais pas assez pour être dans la lumière
Le premier rôle ce s'ra pour demain
La pellicule te glisse entre les mains

Tu bois tu pleures
Mais tu seras toujours
La star de l'entracte

Dix ans plus tard, répondeur et pseudo
Même book, même C.V., toujours les photos
L'cinéma t'a filé qu'les mailles à l'envers
Tu t'détricotes dans un peep show désert et pour vingt balles
On tourne on tourne
Autour de toi

T'es bien trop swing pour rester derrière
Exprime-toi bien, mets-toi là dans la lumière
Un verre au bar, c'est déjà demain
Les hommes, les mecs, tu glisses entre leurs mains

{Refrain}

T'avoues trente cinq, répondeur et pseudo
Sur son bureau, il a mis ta photo

T'as mal au cœur
Et la terre tourne
Autour de toi

T'as un studio dans la rue derrière
Et quand sa femme a éteint toutes les lumières
Elle l'aime tellement - baisers, à demain -
Y monte chez toi, le verre te glisse des mains

Hey, little girl in the high school sweater
Gee, but I'd like to know you better
Just a-swingin' your books and chewin' gum
Lookin' just like a juicy plum
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, little girl

Hey, little girl in the black silk stockin's
Gee, but you got my heart rockin'
A-wearin' that crazy skin-tight skirt
And that crazy Ivy League shirt
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, little girl

Hey, little girl, can I come along?
Carry your books; and a-hold your arm?
I'm hopin' that you'll tell me yes,
Because you're the girl that I love best
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, mm-mm

Not just like the time before
'member when you closed that door?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, little girl

Hey!, little girl
Hey, hey, hey, little girl

Let's Get Loud


Let's Get Loud
Composer(s): Sven Lõhmus
First performance by: Suntribe - 2005



I'm hot like indian spice, like boiling water
I'm in the mood, no-one can stop me tonight
So turn the power on, gimme the guitar
No time for misery – all right

When the bass is loud, drums sound like a thunder
I'm spinning round my records – that's right
Come on, let's raise the roof
Wake up the neighbours
Open the windows, scream and shout

We're not angels in the sky
Playing harp and flying high
Now we can rock the crowd
So let's get loud

Come on girls, sing along that song
Shake the house till the early morning
Boring yesterday is gone
So let's get loud

Come on girls, you can rock the crowd
Dance all night, turn on the party
We just wanna hear you shout
So let's get loud

(So let's get loud, yeah)

Turn off the TV-set
This soap is boring
Bold & Beautiful ain't our theme tonight
So let us rule your heart
And be the leaders
Wake up you guys and feel alive

We're not angels in the sky
Playing harp and flying high
Now we can turn the crowd
So let's get loud

Come on girls, sing along that song
Shake the house till the early morning
Boring yesterday is gone
So let's get loud

Come on girls, you can rock the crowd
Dance all night, turn on the party
We just wanna hear you shout
So let's get loud

(Let's get loud, let's get loud)
(Let's get loud, let's get loud)

Come on girls, sing along that song
Shake the house till the early morning
Boring yesterday is gone
So let's get loud

Come on girls, you can rock the crowd
Dance all night, turn on the party
We just wanna hear you shout
So let's get loud

Come on girls, sing along that song
Shake the house till the early morning
Boring yesterday is gone
So let's get loud

Come on girls, you can rock the crowd
Dance all night, turn on the party
We just wanna hear you shout
So let's get loud

Hey, Little Cobra


Hey, Little Cobra
Composer(s): Carol Connors; Marshall Connors
Performer(s): The Rip-Chords;
and various other artists



Hey, Little Cobra, don't you know
you're gonna to shut 'em down

I took my Cobra down to the track
hitched to the back of my Cadillac

Everyone was there just a waiting for me
There were plenty of Stingrays and XKEs

Spring little Cobra getting ready to strike
Spring Little Cobra with all your might
Spring little Cobra getting ready to strike
Spring Little Cobra with all your might

Hey, Little Cobra, don't you know
you are going to shut them down

When the flag went down, you could hear rubber burn
The Stingray pulled me going into the turn

I hung a big shift, and I got into high,
When I when I flew by the Stingray, I waved bye bye.

Spring little Cobra getting ready to strike
Spring Little Cobra with all your might
Spring little Cobra getting ready to strike
Spring Little Cobra with all your might

Hey, Little Cobra, Don't you know
you are going to shut 'em down

Around the turn into the straight away
I was blowing off everything that got in my way,

Stingrays and Jags were so far behind
I took my Cobra out of gear and let it coast to the line.

Spring little Cobra getting ready to strike
Spring Little Cobra with all your might
Spring little Cobra getting ready to strike
Spring Little Cobra with all your might

Hey, Little Cobra, Don't you know
you are going to shut 'em down

Shut'em down, shut'em down, shut'em down...

Star Collector


Star Collector
Composer(s): Gerry Goffin - Carole King
Performer(s): The Monkees



Think I'll let her keep on going
Wherever it is she's going to
Give her my autograph and tell her
"It's been nice knowing you"

Ha, she's the star collector, (Collector of stars)
She only aims to please young celebrities
Yes, she's the star collector, (Collector of stars)
How can I love her when I just don't respect her?

When everything is going my way
She wants to be close at hand
She moves to some other doorway
When things don't go the way she planned

Yes, she's the star collector, (Collector of stars)
She only aims to please young celebrities
Yes, she's the star collector, (Collector of stars)
Whoa, it won't take much time before I get her off my mind

'Cause she's the star collector, (Collector of stars)
Whoa, she only aims to please young celebrities
Yes, she's the star collector, (Collector of stars)
Whoa, it won't take much time before I get her off my mind

Bye-bye...
Bye-bye...

Lorraine (Toto)


Lorraine
Composer(s): David Paich
Performer(s): Toto



I've heard a lot of stories
So tell me if they're true
Oh I would die for you
Knowing that you're mine
You tell me that you're sorry
You say your heart is new
Oh I will cry for you
Call me and we'll dine

It's almost over Lorraine
Can you still feel the pain
Do you still want me to love you
It's such a funny day
Whoah oh oh
It's such a funny day

Tonight we sail for Paris
Where the streets are paved with gold
Your eyes have blessed my soul
Your lips, they've blessed the wine

We'll tame the Gulf of Lyons
I'll wed thee in Marseilles
We'll turn the moon to blood
If only there were time

It's almost over Lorraine
Can you still feel the pain
Do you still want me to love you
It's such a funny day
Whoah oh oh
It's such a funny day

Hey hey, my my

Rock n roll will never die
There's more to the picture than meets the eye

Hey hey, my my

Out of the blue, and into the black
You pay for this, and they give you that
And once you're gone, you can't come back
When you're out of the blue and into the black

The king is gone, but he's not forgotten
Is this the story of Johnny Rotten?
It's better to burn out than to fade away
The king is gone, but he's not forgotten

Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture than meets the eye
Hey hey, my my...

Lorraine (Kaffe)


Lorraine
Composer(s): Vesselin Vesselinov-Eko - Orlin Pavlov
First performance by: Kaffe - 2005



Standing here alone again
Waiting for the moment that we shared, my love
No matter how many lies you say
No matter how many miles you walk away from me
Lorraine

Here I am, all alone
Waiting for the moment again
But I know that you are gone

You got to know that harder the rain
Sweeter the pain
I can still remember Lorraine in the rain

Calling you again and again
I'll wait for your name
I can still remember Lorraine in the rain

Whispering your name again
Singing prayers among the stars
For you, my sweet Lorraine
You've always given me some great times
Try to imagine how we fly so far away from here
My Lorraine

Here I am, all alone
Waiting for the moment we shared
But I know that you are gone

You got to know that harder the rain
Sweeter the pain
I can still remember Lorraine in the rain

Calling you again and again
I'll wait for your name
I can still remember Lorraine in the rain

I can still remember Lorraine
I can still remember Lorraine in the rain

You got to know that harder the rain
Sweeter the pain (My sweet Lorraine)
I can still remember Lorraine in the rain
(Remember Lorraine in the rain)

Calling you again and again
(Again and again and again)
I'll wait for your name (My sweet Lorraine)
I can still remember Lorraine in the rain

(I will fly so far away from here, my love)
I can still remember Lorraine in the rain

For the first time in my life, I was sold in Love

Lorraine, she took everything
Even my brand new engagement ring
She took the car and went to town
But now she can only be found...

Lorraine punched me on the nose, so I slapped her round the head
Then we talked the whole thing out, and went straight to bed

And now I've found her, don't wanna kill her
And now I've found her, don't wanna kill her
And now I've found her, don't wanna kill her
And now I've found her, don't wanna kill her

Hey, Good Lookin' (Ethel Merman)


Hey, Good Lookin'
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Ethel Merman



Blossom:
When there's a sun above
I always find
Romantic thoughts of love
Never enter my mind
But when the day is done
I find that instead
I just love ev'ryone
And as Elizabeth Barrett Browning once said......

Hey, good-lookin'
Say, what's cookin'?
Do you feel like bookin'
Some fun tonight?
He, hey, hey, hey, good-lookin'
If you're not already tooken
Could you meet me soon
In the moon-
Light?
Why don't we two go roamin'
Through the gloamin'
While the stars are combin'
The skies above?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, good-lookin'
Give in and we'll begin cookin'
That delish
Little dish
Called love

Rocky:
Your voice, Miss Ovaltine
Has me impressed
You're the missing link between
Lily Pons and Mae West
But I must warn you, Ma'am
If later you're free
That I'm half wolf, my lamb
And as the famous Tallulah muttered to me......

Hey, good-lookin'
Say, what's cookin'?
Do you feel like bookin'
Some fun tonight?
He, hey, hey, hey, good-lookin'
If you're not already tooken
Could you meet me soon
In the moon-
Light?
Why don't we two go roamin'
Through the gloamin'
While the stars are combin'
The skies above?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, good-lookin'
Give in and we'll begin cookin'
That delicious
Little divine
That so appetizing
That delightful
Itty-bitty-bite-full
Called love
