Artificial Flowers
Artificial Flowers
Composer(s): Jerry Bock - Sheldon Harnick
Performer(s): Ron Husmann
Alone in the world was poor little Anne
As sweet a young child as you'd find
Her parents had gone to their final reward
Leavin' their baby behind
Did you hear?..........
This poor little child was only nine years of age
When mother and dad went away
Still bravely she worked at the one thing she knew
To earn her few pennies a day
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of fashion to wear
She made artificial flowers, you know those artificial flowers
Fashioned from Annie's despair
With paper and shears, with some wire and wax
She made up each tulip and mum
As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room
Her baby little fingers grew numb
From makin' artificial flowers, those artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
Made from Annie's despair
They found little Annie all covered in ice
Still clutchin' her poor frozen shears
Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand
And watered with all her young tears
There must be a heaven where little Annie can play
In heavenly gardens and bowers
And instead of a halo she'll wear 'round her head
A garland of genuine flowers
No more artificial flowers
Throw away those artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of society to wear
Throw away those artificial flowers
Those dumb-dumb flowers
Fashioned from Annie's
Fashioned from Annie's
Despair ...
Give her the real thing!

Do I Love You? (Ethel Merman & Ronald Graham)
Do I Love You?
Composer(s): Cole Porter
First performance by: Ethel Merman & Ronald Graham - 1939
Covered by multiple other artists
After that sweet Summer afternoon
When for the first time I saw you appear
Dreaming of you I composed a tune
So will you listen to it, dear?
Do I love you, do I?
Doesn't one and one make two?
Do I love you, do I?
Does July need a sky of blue?
Would I miss you, would I?
If you ever should go away?
If the sun should desert the day
What would life be?
Will I leave you, never?
Could the ocean leave the shore?
Will I worship you for ever?
Isn't heaven forever more?
Do I love you, do I?
Oh, my dear, it's so easy to see
Don't you know I do?
Don't I show you I do
Just as you love me?
Do I love you, do I?
Doesn't one and one make two?
Do I love you, do I?
Does July need a sky of blue?
Would I miss you, would I?
If you ever should go away?
If the sun should desert the day
What would life be?
Will I leave you, never?
Could the ocean leave the shore?
Will I worship you for ever?
Isn't heaven forever more?
Do I love you, do I?
Oh, my dear, it's so easy to see
Don't you know I do?
Don't I show you I do
Just as you love me?

Artificial Energy
Artificial Energy
Composer(s): McGuinn - Hillman - Clarke
Performer(s): The Byrds
Sitting all alone now
I took my ticket to ride
Just a matter of time now
Tilm I'll be up in the sky
Coming up on me now
I'm king for a night
What's it gonna be now?
How willful things are building insight
Do you think it's really the trip that you seek?
I've got my doubts it's happened to me
Artificial energy
Is racing in my mind
I've got a strange feeling
I'm going to die before my time
'Cause i'm coming down off amphetamines
And I'm in jail 'cause I killed the queen

Do I Hear A Waltz?
Do I Hear A Waltz?
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Stephen Sondheim
Performer(s): Sammy Davis Jr.
and multiple other artists
Do I hear a waltz?
Very odd but I hear a waltz
There isn’t a band and I don’t understand it at all
I can’t hear a waltz
Oh my lord, there it goes again
Why is nobody dancing in the street?
Can’t they hear the beat?
Magical, mystical, miracle
Can it be, is it true?
Things are impossibly lyrical
Is it me, no it’s you
I do hear a waltz
I see you and I hear a waltz
It’s what I’ve been waiting for all my life
To hear a waltz
Do I hear a waltz?
La-da-de-da-da
Such lovely Blue Danubey music
How can you be still?
I do hear a waltz
There it goes again
There’s no dancing in the street
Can’t they hear the beat?
Roses are dancing with peonies
Yes it’s true, don’t you see
Everything’s suddenly Viennese
Can’t be you, must be me
Do I hear a waltz?
I want more than to hear a waltz
I want you to share it, but oh my
Do I hear a waltz?

Composer(s): Peter Allen - Burt Bacharach - Carole Bayer Sager - Christopher Cross
First release by: Christopher Cross - 1981
Covered by multiple other artists
Once in your life you find her, someone who turns your heart around
And next thing you know, you're closing down the town
Wake up and it's still with you, even though you left her way across town
You're wondering to yourself, "Hey, what have I found?"
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do, the best that you can do, is fall in love
Arthur, he does as he pleases; all of his life his master's toys
But deep in his heart he's just, he's just a boy
Living his life one day at a time, he's showing himself a really good time
He's laughing about the way they want him to be
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do, the best that you can do, is fall in love
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do, the best that you can do, is fall in love

Do I Have To Come Right Out And Say It
Do I Have To Come Right Out And Say It
Composer(s): Neil Young
Performer(s): Buffalo Springfield
and multiple other artists
Do I have to come right out and say it
Tell you that you look so fine
Do I have to come right out and ask you to be mine
If it was a game I could play it
Trying to make it but I'm losing time
I got to bring you in, you're overworking my mind
Indecision is crowding me
I have no room to spare
And I can't believe she cared
Like a dream she has taken me
And now I don't know where
And a part of me is scared
The part of me I shared
Once before

Composer(s): Peter Allen - Burt Bacharach - Carole Bayer Sager - Christopher Cross - Sergio Bardotti
Performer(s): Ornella Vanoni - 2002
Essere un buon capitano
gli occhi lontani come il mare
con quell'istinto di salpare
Essere tu il vagabondo
senza parenti senza nome
che chissa' come al mondo
ha detto no
Eccoli li' sono i tuoi sogni proibiti
e' una vecchissima fotografia
e a tutti fa ancora sogni proibiti
intanto vola via
intanto non si sa se tornera'
Vivere notti infinite
correre sui cavalli alati
tu la regina dei pirati
essere saggia e avere vent'anni
essere squalo e pescatore
schiava e padrona di ogni amore
Eccoli li' sono i tuoi sogni proibiti
e sei davvero tu nella fotografia
e a tutti fa ancora sogni proibiti
perche' la vita sia
fare due passi nell'eternita'
Essere te ma essere un'altra
essere preda e predatore
luce dell'ombra notte e sole
Eccoli li' sono i tuoi sogni proibiti
e sei davvero tu nella fotografia
e a tutti fa ancora sogni proibiti
e intanto vola via
e intanto vola via
Eccoli li' sono i tuoi sogni proibiti
questa vecchissima fotografia
e a tutti fa ancora sogni proibiti
e intanto vola via
e intanto non si sa se tornera'

Do I Ever Cross Your Mind
Do I Ever Cross Your Mind
Composer(s): Dolly Parton
First release by: Dolly Parton - 1982
Covered by multiple other artists
Oh, sometimes I go walking through fields where we walked
Long ago in the sweet used to be
And the flowers still grow, but they don’t smell as sweet
As they did when you picked them for me
And when I think of you and the love we once knew
How I wish we could go back in time
Do you ever think back on old memories like that
Or do I ever cross your mind
Do you ever wake up lonely in the middle of the night
Because you miss me, do you darling
Oh, and do your memories ever take
You back into another place in time
And do you ever miss the feelings
And the love we shared when you were with me, tell me darling
Or do I ever cross your mind
Oh, how often I wish that again I could kiss
Your sweet lips like I did long ago
And how often I long for those two loving arms
That once held me so gentle and close
And when I think of you and the love we once knew
How I wish we could go back in time
Do you ever think back on old memories like that
Or do I ever cross your mind

De wereld verdeeld zich in Oost en West

Wat er ontbreekt is wat liefde slechts
Een hart heeft toch ook een links en rechts
Irina, met één zoen
Slopen wij op het Rode Plein
Heel die muur van Berlijn
Irina spaciba
Spaciba Irina
Ik kom steeds naar jou toe in een Boeïng
Vlieg weer terug met een Iljoeshin
Over de muur gaan ze allebei
Brengen ons altijd maar dichterbij
Een zoen heeft in Moskou dezelfde smaak
Liefde is overal in de maak
Waarom wil men dan in Berlijn
Dat de mensen gescheiden zijn

When I see you on the street
My whole body gets weak
When you're standing in a crowd
Your love talks to me so loud
Girl, do I do, what you do, when I do my love to you
When I hear you on the phone
Your sweet, sexy voice turns my ear all the way on
Just the mention of your name
Seems to drive my head insane
Girl, do I do, what you do, when I do my love to you... baby
Sss..Mmm
Yes I got some candy kisses for your lips
Yes I got some honey suckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love
for you
Yes I got some candy kisses for your lips
Yes I got some honey suckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love

My life has been waiting for your love
My arms have been waiting for your love to arrive
My heart has been waiting
My soul anticipating your love, love, love
From the time that I awake
I'm imagining the good love that we'll make
If to me your vibe can do all this
Just imagine how it's going to feel when we hug and kiss
Sugar, do I do, what you do, when I do my love to you... all right

And I will not deny myself the chance
Of being part of what feels like the right romance

Arthur Murray Taught Me Dancing In A Hurry
Arthur Murray Taught Me Dancing In A Hurry
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer - Victor Schertzinger
Performer(s): Betty Hutton
Life was so peaceful at the laundry
Life was so calm and serene
Life was tres gay
Till that unlucky day
I happened to read that magazine!
Why did I read that advertisement
Where it says, "Since I rumba, Jim thinks I'm sublime!?
Why, oh why Did I ever try
When I didn't have the talent, I didn't have the money
And teacher did not have the time? Boy!
Arthur Murray Taught me dancin' in a hurry
I had a week to spare
He showed me the ground work
The walkin' around work
And told me take it from there!
Arthur Murray Then advised me not to worry
It would come out all right!
To my way of thinkin'
My dance is stinkin'
I don't know my left from my right!
The people around me can all-sing
"A-one and a-two and a-three"
But any resemblance to waltzing
Is just coincidental with me!
'Cause Arthur Murray Taught me dancin' in a hurry
And so I took a chance
To me it resembles The nine day trembles
But he guarantees it's a dance!
My tango resembles a two-step
My rumba makes people turn pale
My conga goes into a goose-step
Till the FBI is doggin' my trail!
'Cause Arthur Murray Taught me dancin' in a hurry
Maybe the stars were wrong
If I ain't a menace To Ruth St Dennis
I'll do until one comes along!
Turkey trot
Or gavotte?
Don't know which
Don't know what
Jitterbug?
Bunny hug?
Long as you
Cut a rug!
Walk the dog
Do the frog
Lindy hop
Till you drop!
Ball the jack
Back to back
Cheek to cheek
Till you're weak
You've heard of Pavlova?
Well Jack, move over!
Make way for the queen of the dance!

Oh ik weet wel dat ik mezelf nep (nou, nou)
Want er zijn geen beestjes (nou, nou, nou)
Maar ik zie beestjes om me heen
Beestjes, beestjes,
Op m'n dekens, in m'n kussen, kijk maar
In m'n oren, in m'n neus en in m'n haar
En ze lopen steeds door elkaar
Beestjes, beestjes
Hele legers lopen daar over de grond
Kijk, ze rukken op langs het plafond
En de kamer draait maar in het rond
Oh, oh, weet je wat ik zie als ik gedronken heb (nou, nou)
Allemaal beestjes (nou, nou, nou)
Zoveel beestjes om me heen
Beestjes, beestjes
Langs de drempel in een hele lange rij
Door de sleutelgaten komen zij er bij
En ze kijken allemaal naar mij
Beestjes, beestjes
Blauwe, gele, rooie, alles ziet er bij
Likkebaardend komen zij steeds dichterbij
En ze loeren allemaal op mij
Oh, oh, weet je wat ik zie als ik gedronken heb (nou, nou)
Allemaal beestjes (nou, nou, nou)
Zoveel beestjes om me heen
Ze komen zelfs als ik om me heen mep (nou, nou)

Allemaal beestjes om me heen

I'm so dizzy, my head is spinnin'

Arthur McBride
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Bob Dylan
and multiple other artists
I once had a comrade named Arthur McBride
as we were a-walking along the seaside
As we were a-walking to bathe in the tide
It was on a fine summer's morning
As we were awalking along the sea sand
We met Sergeant Napier and Corporal O'Hand
And a little wee drummer called Patrick McDan
They were going to the fair in the morning
O Arthur, my lad, if you would but list
Five guineas in gold I would clap in your fist
Besides five shilling to kick up the dust
And drink the king's health in the morning
Na faith, says Arthur, I ken it mysel'
I winna gae wi you to rin at your tail
I winna gae wi you to rin at your tail
And be at your command in the morning
O, if you go with us, I'm sure you'll go clean
We're not like poor fellows goes dirty and mean
We're not like poor fellows goes dirty and mean
Gets nothing but gruel in the morning
Ye needna be chattin' aboot your fine pay
As you go a-marchin' and chattin' away
For all that ye hae is a shilling a day
To get you some chat in the morning
Ye needna be chattin' aboot your fine clothes
Ye've only the len o them as I suppose
Ye durna sell them in spite o your nose
Or you will get flogged in the morning
I'm blessed said the sergeant, if I'll take more of that
From you or from any young cow-feeding brat
And if you tip me any more of your chat
I will run you thru in the morning
But before they time to draw out their blades
Our whacking shillelaghs came over their heads
We soon let them see that we were their blades
That could temper their pows in the morning
As for the wee drummer we tempered his pow
And made a football o his row-didi-dow
And kicket it in to the ocean to row
And take a bit bathe in the morning
And as for the weapons that hung by their sides
We took them and pitched them far out in the tide
May the deil gae wi them, said Arthur McBride
If ever we see them returning

Dizem Que Um Homem Não Deve Chorar
Dizem Que Um Homem Não Deve Chorar
Composer(s): Palmeira - Mário Zan
Performer(s): Roberto Carlos
Dizem que um homem não deve chorar
por uma mulher que não soube amar
Mas como eu não pude conter o meu pranto fechei os meus olhos me pus a chorar
Não acreditei quando vi você me dizendo adeus
Eu jamais pensei tanta ingratidão ver nos olhos seus
Quando um homem faz do amor de uma mulher razão da sua vida
De tudo ele é capaz pra não sofrer jamais a dor da despedida
Fica mais comigo tente uma vez mais, pensa no que fomos
Há algum tempo atrás, eu ainda sou aquele mesmo estranho
Que ao te conhecer te amou demais
Dicen que los hombres no deben llorar, por una mujer
Que há pagado mal, pero yo no pude contener mi luanto
Cerrando los ajos me puse a lloar

Composer(s): Bunny Lewis - Norrie Paramor
Performer(s): Helen Shapiro
You promised me you would love me true
What a marvellous lie you told me
In your arms, when you said you’d stay
When you promised to have and hold me
And to love and adore all the way
Well it tore us apart
You were sure you could wait
Now you found out
That the odds are too great
What a marvellous lie you told me
But I’ll never believe you again
What a marvellous lie you told me
In your arms, when you said you’d stay
When you promised to have and hold me
And to love and adore all the way
When love tore us apart
You weren’t sure you could wait
Now you found out
That the odds were too great
What a marvellous lie you told me
But I’ll never believe
Cause you meant to deceive
No I’ll never believe you again

Dixieland Rock
Dixieland Rock
Composer(s): Claude Demetrius - Fred Wise
First recording/First release by: Elvis Presley - 1958
Well down in New Orleans at the Golden Goose
I grabbed a green-eyed dolly that was on the loose
Well I dig that music, well she said me too
I said pretty baby come on and let's do
The Dixieland Rock
Well the Dixieland Rock
Let your hair down sugar, shake it free
And do the Dixieland Rock with me
With the blue light shining on her swinging hips
She got the drummer so nervous that he lost his sticks
The cornet player hit a note thats flat
The tromboner hit him while the poor cat sat
The Dixieland Rock
Well the Dixieland Rock
Let your hair down sugar, shake it free
And do the Dixieland Rock with me
I was all pooped out and when the clock struck four
But she said no daddy can't leave the floor
She wore a clinging dress that fit so tight
She couldn't sit down so we danced all night
The Dixieland Rock
Well the Dixieland Rock
Let your hair down sugar, shake it free
And do the Dixieland Rock with me
Let your hair dance sugar, shake it
And do the Dixieland Rock with me
