Walkin' Dream


Walkin' Dream
Composer(s): Hal Willis; Ginger Willis
Performer(s): Patsy Cline



Walk walk walk
Walk walk walk
A walkin' dream
I dreamed about you
A walkin' dream
Can't do without you
Lovely dream
Just can't forget you
'cause your so dreamy
Peach n' creamy
Walkin' dream
Now keep on a walkin'
Keep on a talkin'
And i'll do my best
To make the rest
Of this lovely dream come true
A walkin' dream
I want you near me
Walkin' dream
Can't you hear me
A lovely dream
A won't you love me
'cause your so lovey
Turtle dovey
A walkin' dream

A Swingin' Affair


A Swingin' Affair
Composer(s): Cass - Myers
Performer(s): Cliff Richard



Ours will be, a swingin' affair
We won't be tied, we'll be as free as air
For we won't care what tomorrow brings
it'll be just one of those swingin' things

Ours will be, a swingin' affair
We will just be, a very casual pair
for love won't make us an April fool
no, we both decided we'll play it cool

We'll share a few laughs, we'll share an odd date
We'll share a few kisses, when it's growing late
and though the stars and moon may shine up above
we'll enjoy the magic, but we won't fall in love

Ours will be a ringa, ding, ding
Just for kicks, we two will have our fling
and we'll have fun while there's time to spare
for we'll both enjoy our swingin' affair

Hey let's have a swingin' affair
We won't be tied, we'll be as free as air
For we won't care what tomorrow brings
it'll be just one of those swingin' things

Ours will be, a swingin' affair
We will just be, a very casual pair
for love won't make us an April fool
no, we both decided we'll play it cool

We'll share a few laughs, we'll share an odd date
We'll share a few kisses, when it's growing late
and though the stars and moon may shine up above
we'll enjoy the magic, but we won't fall in love

Ours will be a ringa, ding, ding
Just for kicks, we two will have our fling
and we'll have fun while there's time to spare
for we'll all enjoy our swingin' affair

We'll enjoy the magic, but we won't fall in love

Ours will be a ringa, ding, ding
Just for kicks, we'll two will have our fling
and we'll pretend we are not aware
this is more, so much more than a swingin' affair

Walkin' Back To Georgia


Walkin' Back To Georgia
Composer(s): Jim Croce
Performer(s): Jim Croce



I'm walkin' back to Georgia
And I hope she will take me back
Nothin' in my pockets
And all I own is upon my back

Chorus:

But she's the girl who said she loved me
On that hot dusty Macon road
And if she's still around
I'm gonna settle down
With that hard lovin' Georgia girl

I'm walkin' back to Georgia
She's the only one who knows
How it feels when you lose a dream
And how it feels when you dream alone

(Repeat Chorus)

Georgia can you hear me callin'
Oh I'll be home in just a while
And if I had to I'd be crawlin'
Just to share another mornin' smile

But you're the girl who said you loved me
On that hot dusty long ago
And if you're still around
I'm gonna settle down
With you my hard lovin' Georgia girl ... because

I'm walkin' back to Georgia
And I hope she will take me back
Nothin' in my pockets
And all I own is upon my back

(Repeat Chorus)

A Sunny Day


A Sunny Day
Composer(s): Donovan
Performer(s): Donovan



Sunny day while away the afternoon
Cutting nettles that are hiding petals pink
From the river drink
Bluebells, wood dells where dwells a squirrel
Who slinks along branched patterns heightens call of coaltit small
Hover over river
Diving, writhing, gnattring chiff chaff chattering
Woodpecker staggering hammering
Exaggerating off his find
Do da do
Sunny day while away the afternoon
Cutting nettles that are hiding petals pink
From the river drink
Bluebells, wood dells where dwells a squirrel
Who slinks along branched patterns heightens call of coaltit small
Hover over river

Walkin' Along


Walkin' Along
Performer(s): The Diamonds



Walkin' along my merry way
Singin' a song I will be gay
I found a love and love is here to stay
Walking along just feeling glad
Singin' a song I won't be sad
Oh, happy day
I'm just walkin' along

When I'm walkin' feel just like a king
When I'm singin' don't care 'bout a thing
The reason I feel the way I do
You love me, whoo
I love you, who-ooh

Walkin' along my merry way
Singin' a song I will be gay
Oh, happy day
I'm just walkin' along

A Summer Song


A Summer Song
Composer(s): Chad Stuart - Clive Metcalfe - Keith Noble
First release by: Chad & Jeremy - 1964



Trees swayin' in the summer breeze
Showin' off their silver leaves
As we walked by

Soft kisses on a summer's day
Laughing all our cares away
Just you and I

Sweet sleepy warmth of summer nights
Gazing at the distant lights
In the starry sky

They say that all good things must end some day
Autumn leaves must fall
But don't you know that it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you
Wish you didn't have to go
No no no no

And when the rain
Beats against my window pane
I'll think of summer days again
And dream of you

They say that all good things must end some day
Autumn leaves must fall
But don't you know that it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you
Wish you didn't have to go
No no no no

And when the rain
Beats against my window pane
I'll think of summer days again
And dream of you
And dream of you

À Suivre (Françoise Hardy)


À Suivre
Composer(s): Françoise Hardy
Performer(s): Françoise Hardy



Je le respire comme une fleur
Je le caresse comme une soie
Je suis suspendue à son cœur
Mon ciel, mon enfer à la fois
Je l'écoute comme un oracle
Magie infinie d'une voix
Je le regarde comme un miracle
Dont mes yeux ne reviennent pas
Je le protège comme un enfant
Fragile, dans le creux de mes bras
Il me fait peur comme le temps
Qui passe et que l'on ne retient pas
Il m'émerveille comme un rêve
Qui c'est enfin réalisé
Et il me fait mal comme un rêve
Dont il va falloir m'éveiller...

Walk This Way


Walk This Way
Composer(s): Joe Perry; Steven Tyler
Performer(s): Aerosmith



Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
Till I talked to your daddy, he say
He said you ain't seen nothin' till you're down on a muffin
Then you're sure to be a changin' your ways
I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
Oh the times I could reminisce
'Cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss
Like this!

Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle diddle
With your kitty in the middle of the swing like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
And I knowed love was here to stay
When she told me to

Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way

Just gimme a kiss
Like this!

Schoolgirl sweetie with a classy kinda sassy
Little skirt's climbin' way up the knee
There was three young ladies in the school gym locker
When I noticed they was lookin' at me
I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady
Till the boys told me somethin' I missed
Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
So I gave her just a little kiss
Like this!

Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle diddle
With your kitty in the middle of the swing like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way
She told me to

Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way

Just gimme a kiss
Like this!

À Suivre (Bernard Lavilliers)


À Suivre
Composer(s): P. Arroyo - Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers



Septembre est venu dans la lumière
J'ai jeté mon sac à l'hôtel du port
Un goût de sel sur une paupière brulée
J'veux savoir si tu m'aimes encore
si tu m'aimes encore

Accoudé au bar de l'univers
C'est l'heure où la bière se transforme en or
Un soleil rouge éclaire nos voiles usées
J'veux savoir si tu m'aimes encore

Criolla
Ce soir je chanterai pour toi
Criolla
J'ai composé d'autres sambas
Je veux d'alcool et des chansons
Je veux les fruits de la passion
Tu verras au fond de mes yeux
Beaucoup de visages
Marins perdus, frères déchirés
Par les grands orages
Il y a trois sortes de gens
Les morts et les vivants
Et ceux qui sont en mer

La plage est déserte, j'entends la mer
Battre les remparts de Saint-Malo
Murs de granit que rien ne peut tomber
Dites-moi, si elle m'aime encore
J'ai le cœur gonflé d'un mal étrange
Comme les immigrants et les étrangers
Je ne sais pas si je dérange encore
Je n'sais rien, je viens d'arriver

Criolla
Ce soir tu danserais pour moi
Criolla
Dans le bar du tropicana
Chansons de mer, chansons d'amour
Au fond des verres, on voit le jour
Si tu veux encore de ma peau
De mes tatouages
Je dormirais dans ton lit clos
Très loin des nuages
Si rien n'est plus comme avant
Je s'rais un mort vivant
Comme ceux qui sont en mer

J'ai ramené du rhum de Jamaïque
Et des champignons du Mexique
J't'ai ramené des fleurs des tropiques
Et des gris-gris du Centre-Afrique
Des odeurs du sang d'la musique
Des couleurs et des cicatrices
J'ai brûlé les bougies du saint
Arrosées de mon sang carmin
J'appelle Yemanja de la mer
Celle qui tue ou bien espère

La nuit est tombée sur mes prières
Elle s'est endormie à l'hôtel du port
Mon goût de sel sur sa crinière mouillée
Avec elle, je voyage encore...
je voyage encore... je voyage encore...

Walk The Dinosaur


Walk The Dinosaur
Composer(s): Randall Jacobs; Don Was; David Was
Performer(s): Was (Not Was); George Clinton



Boom boom acka-lacka-lacka boom
boom boom acka-lacko boom boom
Boom boom acka-lacka-lacka boom
boom boom acka-lacka boom boom

It was a night like this
fourty million years ago

I lit a cigarette
picked up a monkey
start to go
The sun was spitting fire
the sky was blue as ice

I felt a little tired so I watched "Miami Vice"

I walked a dinosaur
I walked a dinosaur!
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody walk the dinosaur
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody walk the dinosaur
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody walk the dinosaur
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody walk the dinosaur

Boom boom acka-lacka-lacka boom

boom boom acka-lacka boom boom

I met you in a cave
you were painting Buffalo

I said I'd be your slave
follow wherever you go
That night we split a rattlesnake and danced beneath the stars

You fell asleep
I stayed awake and watched the passing cars

I walked a dinosaur
I walked a dinosaur! . . .

A shadow from the sky
much too big to be a bird

A screaming
crashing noise
louder than I've ever heard
It looked like two big silver trees
that somehow learned to soar

Suddenly a summer breeze and a mighty lion's roar

I killed a dinosaur
I killed a dinosaur!
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody kill the dinosaur

Boom boom acka-lacka-lacka boom

boom boom acka-lacka boom boom

Boom boom acko-locka-lacka boom

boom boom acka-lacko boom boom

A Su Mirar Me Acostumbré


A Su Mirar Me Acostumbré
((Adapted from: I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face (Rex Harrison) - 1956))
((Dutch Version: Ik Voel Dat Ik Haar Mis (Wim Sonneveld))
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe - Manolo Fabregas
Performer(s): Manolo Fabregas



Ya! Ya! Ya! Ya!
A su mirar me acostumbré
Con ella el sol volvió a nacer
A su vivir me acostumbré
Y a verla junto a mí
Andar, reír, hablar, gemir

Una segunda juventud
Un nuevo día en mi vivir
Yo me jactaba de ser libre
De ser dueño de mi ser
Libre sin que nadie me dijera lo que hacer
Hasta que al fin la conocí
Y así me acostumbré a ser un nuevo ser

Casarse con Freddy, Ja!
Que descabellada, que dura, tonta y absurda idea
Pero las pagará, las pagará
Esa boda es un desastre
Aún antes de la bendición

Puedo verla ya, con su digna majestad
En un cuarto miserable de pensión
Puedo verla ya sin poder ni pan comprar
En la puerta un enfurecido cobrador
Querrá lucrar con mis lecciónes
Para el marido mantener
Y otra vez vendiendo flores
En el arroyo ha de ser
Ja!

En un año más con el pelo todo gris
Sus mejillas lucerán otro color
Y el marido aquél que juró amor sin fin
Habrá ido a Paris o Nuevo York
Pobre Eliza
Que horrible caso!
Que degradante! Que delicioso!

Y que tremenda noche en que envitablemente llamará
Y acudirá a mi puerta ahogada en llanto
Desesperada y sóla, arrepentida y contrita
La dejaré entrar o la echaré a los lobos?
Seré bondadoso o le daré merecido?
La invitaré o la arrojaré como un trapo viejo?

Soy un hombre sin rencor
Y es más sin torquedad sin maldad
Nunca he sacado ventaja de alguien jamás
Todo un hombre sin rencor
Más, yo nunca más atestaré
Aún de rodillas a mis pies
Aunque jure por su honor
Aunque llore de dolor
Con la puerta en las narices le daré!
Casarse con Freddy
Bah!

Sin embargo escucho aún su risa al despertar
Su linda voz, sus sí's, sus no's
Una segunda juventud
Un nuevo día en mi vivir
Por suerte siempre ha sido fácil
Olvidar a una mujer
Todo el mundo lo hace
Yo podré también, si no es
Por la costumbre que hay en mí
De algo que no sé, de algo que sentí

Walk Tall


Walk Tall
Composer(s): Sid Wayne
Performer(s): Val Doonican;
and various other artists



(Walk tall)

Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high
She said son, be a proud man and hold your head up high
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye

All through the years that I grew up, ma taught these things to me
But I was young and foolish then and much too blind to see
I ignored the things she said as if I'd never heard
Now I see and understand the wisdom of her words

Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high
She said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye

I started goin' places where the youngsters shouldn't go
I got to know the kind of girls it's better not to know
I fell in with a bad crowd and laughed and drank with them
Through the laughter mama's words would echo now and then

Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high
She said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye

I got in trouble with the law and I'm in prison now
Through these prison bars I see things so much different now
I've got one year left to serve and when my time is done
I'll walk tall and straight and make ma proud to call me son

Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high
She said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
Walk tall

Walk Right Now


Walk Right Now
Composer(s): Michael Jackson; Jackie Jackson; Randy Jackson
Performer(s): The Jacksons



Here, when all my work is done
She calls and she says, dear, can I come?
I say to her, that you know our love has gone
But aggressive heart, you're really not the one
She comes to the door, crying at my feet
Guilt shines in her eyes
As she slowly sinks in deep
You know our love couldn't last forever
Persuade your way, but you ain't clever
I close the door and I say never

I don't care, what you're sayin'
Walk right now, I ain't playin'
Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin'
Don't look back, you ain't stayin'

Here, I'm crying, I can't sleep
I sigh, 'cause I thought this would never be
I say ohh, I'm screamin' out for someone
And now she's knockin' on the door for me
She just won't leave me alone
She wants to speak with me
And persuade me in her arms
And now she's callin' on the phone for me
Just won't leave me alone
Deep down inside she's trying to be clever
To love once more then leave me forever
I close the door and I say never

I don't care, what you're sayin'
Walk right now, I ain't playin'
Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin'
Don't look back, you ain't stayin'
(Repeat)

I try so hard to cope with you
I can't bear with the things you put me through
To love as friends, I wish that we could see
But persuasive heart, you just won't let pure friendship be
You know our love couldn't last forever
Persuade your way, but you ain't clever
I close the door and I say never

I don't care, what you're sayin'
Walk right now, I ain't playin'
Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin'
Don't look back, you ain't stayin'
(Repeat)

A Strawberry Moon (In A Blueberry Sky)


A Strawberry Moon (In A Blueberry Sky)
Composer(s): Bob Hilliard - Sammy Mysels
Performer(s): Joy Nichols
and multiple other artists



There's a strawberry moon in a blueberry sky
In a garden high over Manhattan
Oh what a heavenly pattern
Even your ma and your pa never saw such a

Strawberry moon in a blueberry sky
Looming over two starry eyed people
Gazing at stars round the steeple
Of the church where I'll marry you soon
Under a strawberry moon

Oh the moon, lovely moon
What a heavenly strawberry moon

There's a strawberry cottage in blueberry lane
On the outskirts of merry Manhattan
Furnished with silk and with satin
Curtains of lace and three windows that face that old

Strawberry moon in a blueberry sky
And a strawberry patch in the garden
So glad that we put a yard in
We're expecting some blueberries soon
Under a strawberry moon.

Oh the moon, lovely moon
What a heavenly strawberry moon

Oh the moon, lovely moon
What a heavenly strawberry moon

Walk Right Back


Walk Right Back
Composer(s): Sonny Curtis
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers



I want you to tell me why you walked out on me
I'm so lonesome every day
I want you to know that since you walked out on me
Nothing seems to be the same old way

Think about the love that burns within my heart for you
The good times we had before you went away, oh please
Walk right back to me this minute
Bring your love to me, don't send it
I'm so lonesome every day

I want you to tell me why you walked out on me
I'm so lonesome every day
I want you to know that since you walked out on me
Nothing seems to be the same old way

Think about the love that burns within my heart for you
The good times we had before you went away from me
Walk right back to me this minute
Bring your love to me, don't send it
I'm so lonesome every day

Walk right back to me this minute
The Nicky Campbell show's on, innit?
I'm so lonesome every day
I'm so lonesome every day
I'm so lonesome every day

A Stranger On Earth


A Stranger On Earth
Composer(s): Sid Feller - Rick Ward
Performer(s): Marianne Faithfull
and multiple other artists



Some fools don't know what's right from wrong
But somehow those folks belong
Me, I try for all I'm worth
But I still remain a stranger on this earth

Some people gloom, other folk cry
Me, I have to struggle to keep alive
Ever since the day of my birth
I've been a stranger, stranger on this earth

I try to be what all folks should
Forgetting the bad and doing good
But no matter how I try
My troubles always multiply

Now I've been doing the best I can
Ever since life began
Some day when I prove my worth
I won't be a stranger on earth

Now I've been living the best I can
Ever since my life began
The day's gonna come when I prove my worth
And I won't be no stranger
No, I won't be a stranger
On this earth

Walk Out In The Rain


Walk Out In The Rain
Composer(s): Bob Dylan; Helena Springs
Performer(s): Eric Clapton;
and various other artists



Walk out if it doesn't feel right
I can tell you're only lying
If you got something better tonight
Don't mess up my mind with your crying

Walk out in the rain
Walk out with your dreams
Walk out of my life
If it doesn't feel right
And catch the next train
Oh, darling, walk out in the rain

I have come from so far away
Just to put a ring on your finger
You've said all that you've got to say
So please don't feel the need to linger

Walk out in the rain
Walk out with your dreams
Walk out of my life
If it doesn't feel right
And catch the next train
Oh, darling, walk out in the rain

It's rainin' inside of the city
My poor feet have walked 'til they're sore
If you don't want my love, it's a pity
I guess I can't see you no more

Walk out in the rain
Walk out with your dreams
Walk out of my life
If it doesn't feel right
And catch the next train
Oh, darling, walk out in the rain
