Ana, La Dulce
Ana, La Dulce
Composer(s): Miguel Mateos
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos
Dulce Ana, con tan sólo 16
Dulce Ana, tiempo de burlar la ley
Oh oh oh, no hay escuela esta mañana
no hay caricias en la cama
Sólo tu dulce cara contra la ventana
y digo oh oh oh
Descalza en el corredor
papá y mamá no hacen más el amor
por eso quién tiró
la naranja contra el pizarrón
Dulce Ana, rock`n roll en un cassette
Dulce Ana, un espejo y tu sostén
Oh, oh, oh
Papá golpeando en la mesa
su puño vuelca la cerveza
sobre un dibujo obsceno
en tu cuaderno bueno
y digo oh oh oh
saliste corriendo a la calle
llevando tiza de color
y dibujaste en el muro
un sol, un tren
y el rostro de la felicidad
Ah..! Ana adónde vas
toda pintada y ese vestido
Ah..! Ana a qué hora llegas
quién es el tipo del clarinete?
Oh oh oh
un bolsón y una manzana
un amigo en la ventana
Janis Joplin y Mozart
abriendo la cama
y digo oh oh oh
la nena está dejando casa
hagan algo por favor
una puerta cerró
un sol, un tren
y el rostro de la felicidad
Dulce Ana, dulce Ana
por eso quién tiró
la naranja contra el pizarrón
Dulce Ana, dulce Ana
un sol, un tren
y el rostro de la felicidad

Dancing Bear
Dancing Bear
Composer(s): John Phillips
Performer(s): The Mamas & The Papas;
Avalon Rising; Broceliande
I wouldn't want to be a chimney sweep
All black from head to foot
From climbing in them chimneys
And cleaning out that soot
With a broom and ladder and pail
The darkened walls I scale
And far..and high...
I see a patch of sky
I'd rather be the gypsy
(I'd rather be the gypsy)
Whose camped at the edge of town
(Camped at the edge of town)
The one who has the dancing bear
That follows him around
And he lifts his big foot up
He puts his big foot down
And bows...and twirls...
And dances `round and `round
I found I was a cabin boy last night as I did dream
Bound upon a magic ship for a land I'd never seen
And the moon she filled our sails
And the stars they steered out course
And on our bow there was a golden horse
The queen eats fruit and candy; the bishop nuts and cheese
And when I am a grown man, I'll taste just what I please
The honey from the bee, the shellfish from the sea
The earth, the wind, a girl, someone to share these things with me
I wouldn't want to be a chimney sweep...
(I'd rather be the gypsy ...)
(I dreamed I was a cabin boy ...)

Stuck On You (Ray Stevens)
Stuck On You
Composer(s): Ray Stevens
Performer(s): Ray Stevens
Well it all started back
About a week or two
I bought this instant Wonder Glue
I'd seen it work on TV and I just had to try me some
Well when I got home
I spilled the stuff
And I reached for a towel to wipe it up
And that towel stuck to my hand like another thumb
And as if that wasn't trouble enough
Here come Rover chasing Fluff
And that cat jumped up
And stuck right to my knee
(He doesn't have a knee!)
Well I reached down to hold the dog away
And I touched his ear and that's where my hand stayed
And he lit out a yelping dragging the cat and me
Well running through the house
We knocked the bird cage down
And the parakeet got loose and was flying all around
And finally landed and stuck to the top of my head
And I was tryin' to be careful, but I just wasn't able
And we were stickin' to ashtrays, lamps n tables
And I was wishin' that I had bought a roll
Of Duct Tape instead
Well I finally fell exhausted into a chair
And then you came in and found me there
With the bird on my head and my hand on the dog
And the cat stuck to my knee
And you said the scene looked
Heaven sent that I looked like a man perfectly content
A regular St. Francis of Asissi
And before I could stop you
You laid a big kiss on me
Now Honey, I'm stuck on you
Yes I'm stuck on you
I'm stuck to the dog
And stuck to the cat
And stuck to the parakeet too
Ever since I bought that tube of
Instant Wonder Glue
Everything has stuck on me
And now I'm stuck on you
Well I got to thinkin' sittin' there that day
How did they make that stuff anyway
I mean there must be workers
Stuck all over the factory
I bet there's shoes on the floor and shirts on the walls
And hat's on the ceiling and all up and down the halls
Why just gettin' this stuff in the tube
Has got to be a miracle to see
Now if we could ever make it to the telephone
And get the paramedics out to our home
Maybe they could surgically remove you and the dog
And the cat and the parakeet
And as soon as we're all healed up enough
We're gonna sneak into the plant where they make that stuff
And for revenge we'll put instant Wonder Glue
On all their toilet seats
Hee Hee Hee ...
Until then I'm stuck on you
Yes I'm stuck on you
I'm stuck to the dog
And stuck to the cat
And stuck to the parakeet too
Ever since I bought that tube of Instant Wonder Glue
Everything has stuck on me and now I'm stuck on you
Ohhh, I'm stuck on you, yes I'm stuck on you
I'm stuck to the dog and stuck to the cat
And stuck to the parakeet too
Ever since I bought that tube of Instant Wonder Glue
Everything has stuck on me and now I'm stuck on you

Als De Zon Schijnt
Als De Zon Schijnt
Composer(s): R. Ortolani; M. Franc; André van Duin
Performer(s): André van Duin
Als ie boven aan de hemel staat is 't net of alles beter gaat
Alles ziet er anders uit als de zon schijnt
Iedereen komt uit z'n winterslaap door die mooie rooie koperen knaap
Alles ziet er anders uit als de zon schijnt
Niemand is zich meer van kwaad bewust, alle narigheid wordt uitgeblust
O wat is het leven fijn als de zon schijnt
En de allergrootste pessimist wordt een veelgevraagde humorist
O wat is het leven fijn als de zon schijnt
Heel de wereld is een bloemtapijt, en de buurvrouw een mooie meid
Alles ziet er anders uit als de zon schijnt
Zilveren vogels vliegen door de lucht, ieder drama wordt een dolle klucht
Alles ziet er anders uit als de zon schijnt
Alle ziekenhuizen raken leeg, en de bakkersvrouw rolt door het deeg
O wat is het leven fijn als de zon schijnt
Ja, de wereld krijgt een nieuwe kleur, overal hangt zo'n zalig, zoete geur
O wat is het leven fijn als de zon schijnt
O wat is het leven fijn als de zon schijnt
En terrasjes zitten overvol, alle mensen raken uit hun bol
O wat is het leven fijn in de zon
Als de zon er toch niet was geweest was er nooit een reden voor een feest
O wat is het leven fijn als de zon schijnt

Ana De Amsterdam
Ana De Amsterdam
Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Rey Guerra
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
Sou Ana do dique e das docas
Da compra, da venda, da troca de pernas
Dos braços, das bocas, do lixo, dos bichos, das fichas
Sou Ana das loucas
Até amanhã
Sou Ana
Da cama, da cana, fulana, bacana
Sou Ana de Amsterdam
Eu cruzei um oceano
Na esperança de casar
Fiz mil bocas pra Solano
Fui beijada por Gaspar
Sou Ana de cabo a tenente
Sou Ana de toda patente, das Índias
Sou Ana do oriente, ocidente, acidente, gelada
Sou Ana, obrigada
Até amanhã, sou Ana
Do cabo, do raso, do rabo, dos ratos
Sou Ana de Amsterdam
Arrisquei muita braçada
Na esperança de outro mar
Hoje sou carta marcada
Hoje sou jogo de azar
Sou Ana de vinte minutos
Sou Ana da brasa dos brutos na coxa
Que apaga charutos
Sou Ana dos dentes rangendo
E dos olhos enxutos
Até amanhã, sou Ana
Das marcas, das macas, da vacas, das pratas
Sou Ana de Amsterdam

Dancing Barefoot
Dancing Barefoot
Composer(s): Ivan Kral; Patti Smith
Originally performed by: Patti Smith
Covered by various other artists
She is benediction
She is addicted to thee
She is the root connection
She is connecting with he
Here I go and I don't know why
I fell so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taking over me...
Chorus:
I'm dancing barefoot
Heading for a spin
Some strange music draws me in
Makes me come on like some heroin/e
She is sublimation
She is the essence of thee
She is concentrating on
He, who is chosen by she
Here I go and I don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taking over me...
(Chorus)
She is re-creation
She, intoxicated by thee
She has the slow sensation that
He is levitating with she...
Here I go and I don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taking over me...
(Chorus)
(Oh God I fell for you)
The plot of our lives sweats in the dark like a face
The mystery of childbirth, of childhood itself
Grave visitations
What is it that calls to us?
Why must we pray screaming?
Why must not death be redefined?
We shut our eyes and we stretch out our arms
and whirl on a pane of glass
An afixiation a fix on anything
The line of life the limb of a tree
The hands of he and the promise that she is blessed among women

Ana Ariki
Ana Ariki
Composer(s): Fernando Ubiergo
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo
Cuenta la leyenda que una noche sin estrellas
Ana Ariki de la isla se marchó
y le dijo a Tongaroki espera volveré
algún día volveré
Tongaroki, como un loco, corre por la playa
de Anakena tras la huella
que ella le dejó al partir
Tongaroki sabe que ella nunca volverá
que otro mundo fue a buscar
Ana Ariki volverá, Ana Ariki por el mar
Make Make la traerá a la isla llegará
Ana Ariki hokiro mai
Ana Ariki aroto i te vai
Make Make e mauro mai
qui Rapa Nui tu uro mai
Con sus manos rudas y con materia del volcán
una figura de piedra le construyó
porque todo el tiempo
las piedras pueden esperar
pero no un corazón…
Y una tarde de invierno sólo se le vio
alejarse entre las olas
como persiguiendo al sol
y en la isla queda una silueta sin hablar
cuerpo de piedra ojos de sal…
Ana Ariki volverá, Ana Ariki por el mar
Make Make la traerá
a la isla llegará
Ana Ariki hokiro mai
Ana Ariki aroto i te vai
Make Make e mauro mai
qui Rapa Nui tu uro mai

Dancin' Shoes
Dancin' Shoes
Composer(s): Carl Storie
Performer(s): Nigel Olsson
Too many long converstaions
And no one is hearing a word
Just trying to escape the frustrations
Till a song in the night can be heard
Put on your dancin' shoes
Throw out those one night blues
Here's one to love and to chance
For a spin on that wheel of romance
Too slow to unriddle all your problems
Too lonely for someone to care
Long, lonely silence keeps haunting
Till the song in the night finds you there
Put on your dancin' shoes
Throw out those one night blues
And here's one to love and to chance
For a spin on that wheel
Spin on that wheel
Spin on that wheel of romance
A face like an angel, she's waiting
She smiles and looks over at you
You yearn for this situation
Now finally your dreams have come true
Put on your dancin' shoes
Sweep her away with you
'Cause here's one to love and to share
Caught on that wheel
Caught on that wheel
Caught on that wheel of romance
Put on your dancin' shoes
Put on your dancin' shoes
Sweep her away with you
Put on your dancin' shoes
Sweep her away with you
You, you, oh, you
Put on your dancin' shoes
Put on your dancin' shoes

An Old Straw Hat
An Old Straw Hat
From the film "Rebecca Of Sunnybrook Farm" (1938)
Composer(s): Harry Revel - Mack Gordon
Performer(s): Shirley Temple; Bunny Berigan & His Orch.; Maria Muldaur
What is all this dizzy busy hustling for
People running helter-skelter on their way
What is all this hazy crazy bustling for
No time to notice it's a sunny day
Why don't you take a vacation
Looks like you've got to have relaxation
Aw, come on, forget your troubles for a while
Why don't you try to feel like I do
If I had one wish to make
This is the wish I would choose
I'd want an old straw hat
A suit of overalls
And a worn out pair of shoes
Just let me roam around
Laughing at big city blues
With an old straw hat
A suit of overalls
And a worn out pair of shoes
Howdy, Mister Brown
Ho-hum!
Goin' fishin'? Hope you get a bite
Howdy Mister Jones!
Ho-hum!
How's about a hay ride Saturday night?
Sing hi-ho the merri-o
What've you got, what've you got to lose
Get an old straw hat
A suit of overalls
And a worn out pair of shoes

An Old Log Cabin For Sale
An Old Log Cabin For Sale
Composer(s): J.W. Payte
Performer(s): Porter Wagoner; Marvin Gaster
While strolling along in the country
Reviewing the scenes new and old
I found an old-fashioned log cabin
So beautiful there to behold;
A stranger was standing in silence
His eyes firmly fixed on the door
My heart ached (in pity) or (and pitied) to see him
For these were the words that it bore
And the sign read "An old cabin for sale
An old oaken bucket and well"
F'he returns, just keep a log on the fire
And a light burning bright in the dell
Many years an old couple did patiently look
(so patiently looked)
For their boy whose last promise did fail
Now the old rockin' chair will be rocking no more
There's an old log cabin for sale
A welcome I read on the floor mat
An old braided rug by the door
The hands of an angel had made it
With many a prayer prayed before
In an old rockin' chair, long she waited
For one glimpse of him how she yearned
And now he was standing in silence
Too late, yes, too late he'd returned
And the sign read "An old cabin for sale
An old oaken bucket and well"
F'he returns, just keep a log on the fire
And a light burning bright in the dell
Many years an old couple did patiently look
There's ...no ...place ...like ...home

Just an Old Fashioned Love Song ((aka An Old Fashioned Love Song (by Three Dog Night) - 1971))
Composer(s): Paul Williams
First release by: Paul Williams - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
Just an old-fashioned love song playin' on the radio
And wrapped around the music is the sound
Of someone promising they'll never go
You swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on and on
No need in bringin' `em back,
`Cause they're never really gone
Just an old-fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
Just an old-fashioned love song
Comin' down in 3-part harmony
To weave our dreams upon and listen to each evening
When the lights are low
To underscore our love affair
With tenderness and feeling that we've come to know
You swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on and on and
No need in bringin' `em back,
`Cause they're never really gone
Just an old-fashioned love song
Comin' down in 3-part harmony
Just an old-fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
Just an old-fashioned love song
Comin' down in 3-part harmony
Just an old-fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
To weave our dreams upon and listening to a song ...

It was a Saturday night without a whole lot shakin'
Ooh my ooh my I was bored

Ooh, but that's okay
Need some gal to be my one and only

Ooh my ooh my she looked grand
She said "I like your style now don't go actin' silly"
Ooh my ooh she held my hand
Never thought that I could shake and grove it
Now I'm a Dancin' Fool
Dug my feet 'cause they could really move it
Ooh
She got the message across and me and her got kissin'
Ooh my ooh my havin' fun
I know that this is the thing that I been really missin'
One more dance has just begun
No more time for feelin' shy and lonely
Now I'm a Dancin' Fool
Found some gal to be my one and only
Ooh I'm a Dancin' Fool
Been too long since I been shy and lonely
Now I'm a Dancin' Fool (I'm a dancin' fool I'm a dancer)

An Old English Dream
An Old English Dream
Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum
They say this fair city has ten thousand souls
Some live in mansions
And some live in holes
Some eat from silver
And some eat from gold
Some sift through garbage
And sleep in the cold
I saw a great highway that stretched to the stars
I saw a deep river all choked up with cars
A babe in a cradle and a cat with the cream
An old English church yard and an old English dream
Once we had a country
And thought it so fair
If you look through the mirror
You can still find it there
But now our great country
Is broken and torn
And all of its promise
And liberties worn
I saw a great highway that stretched to the stars
I saw a deep river all choked up with cars
A babe in a cradle and a cat with the cream
An old English church yard and an old English dream
I saw a great plain in winter
All covered in snow
Ten thousand soldiers
That marched to and fro
I saw a broken down building
With ten thousand doors
But none of them open
And none of them yours
I saw a great highway that stretched to the stars
I saw a deep river all choked up with cars
A babe in a cradle and a cat with the cream
An old English church yard and an old English dream

Dancin'
Dancin'
Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller
Performer(s): Perry Como
Ho! the band stopped playin'
An' the couples stopped swayin'
But we kept on . . . dancin!
The lights went on
An' the crowd was gone
But we kept on . . . dancin!
The janitor said, "Please let me sweep the floor!"
So, I hummed a tune an' we danced right . . .
Thru the door!
It started rainin'
But we both were insane
An' we kept right . . . on dancin'
We looked a sight
By the traffic light
But we . . . kept on dancin'
The signal was red so we just tapped our feet
When the light turned green
Well, we danced across the street!
(Couples parked in cars were romancin')
They were romancin'
But we kept right in dancin!
(Ba bum ba bum bum')
Our clothes were drippin'
An' we couldn't help slippin'
But we kept right in dancin!
Our feet were sore
When we reached your door
But we kept right in dancin!
When I kissed ya goodnight
My heart started dancin' too
That's when I knew . . .
That I would dance my whole life thru
With only you . . .
With only you . . .
With only you . . .
My whole life thru
With only you . . .
