Do The Walls Come Down


Do The Walls Come Down Composer(s): Paul Samwell-Smith - Carly Simon Performer(s): Carly Simon



Do the walls come down
When you think of me
Do your eyes grow dim
Do the walls come down
When you think of me
Do you let me in

When you think of me
Do your eyes grow dim
Do the wall come down
When you think of me
Do you let me in

Something in my pocket
That was written years ago
In faded ink it says "You are my fire"
Do you think so....

Is it easier for you to say
You never loved me anyway
Or do you hide me in your attic trunk
Like a stowaway…

As Safe As Yesterday Is


As Safe As Yesterday Is
Composer(s): Peter Frampton - Marriott
Performer(s): Humble Pie



Can I face tomorrow
With the, with the news you bring me
My soul feels cold like ice
A pinprick makes no pain
Oh, hear me, listen, help me

I felt our thing change
From love to something else
Well, how can it plague my mind
A pinprick makes no pain
Oh, hear me, listen, help me

I shall find myself
But I must have the time
To sow the seeds of something new

Farmer, farmer plough the field
Harvest, harvest all you can
A corn field smells so sweet
A pinprick makes no pain
Hear me, listen, help me

But to follow the weaver of dreams
Behind the sun that knows, it seems that
I'm foresworn--a naked troubadour

I sit at court and I sing
To the Princess of Beauty and Light
She favours me though I'm merely
A minstrel of the night

There on my right
Sits the King with his clowns
He pays to laugh
While his queen lives on downs
And the smile on his brow is the crown

Morning bird sing, fill my ears
With the joy of our sorrow unmasked
Lend me your wings for the sunrays of dawn
Are here to last

I take my leave, as I leave I must take
All I have seen in my dreams--then I wake
And it is as safe as yesterday is

Do The Strand


Do The Strand Composer(s): Brian Ferry First release by: Roxy Music - 1973 and multiple other artists



There's a new sensation a fabulous creation A danceable solution to teenage revolution Do the strand love when you feel love It's the new way and that's why we say Do the strand Do it on the tables Quaglino's place or Mabel's Slow and gentle sentimental All styles served here Louis Seize he prefer Laissez faire strand Tired of the tango fed up with fandango Dance on moonbeams slide on rainbows In furs or blue jeans you know what I mean Do the strand Had your fill of quadrilles the madison and cheap thrills Bored with the beguine the samba isn't your scene They're playing our tune by the pale moon We're incognito down the Lido And we like the strand Arabs at oases Eskimos and Chinese If you feel blue look through who's who See la goulue and Nijinsky Do the strandsky Weary of the waltz and mashed potato schmaltz Rhododendron is a nice flower Evergreen it last forever But it can't beat strand power The Sphynx and Mona Lisa Lolita and Guernica

As Rosas Não Falam (Ao Vivo)


As Rosas Não Falam (Ao Vivo)
Composer(s): Cartola
Performer(s): Beth Carvalho



Bate outra vez
Com esperanças o meu coração
Pois já vai terminando o verão enfim

Volto ao jardim
Com a certeza que devo chorar
Pois bem sei que não queres voltar para mim

Queixo-me às rosas, mas que bobagem
As rosas não falam
Simplesmente as rosas exalam
O perfume que roubam de ti

Devias vir
Para ver os meus olhos tristonhos
E, quem sabe sonhar com meus sonhos
Por fim

Do The Hula


Do The Hula
Composer(s): Don McDiarmid
Performer(s): Nã Leo Pilimehana



Way out there in mid-Pacific
They have some funny notions
One of them is most terrific
You have to talk with motions

Do the hula
If there's anything you'd like to say
It's the only way
You'll find that a trip around the island is fun
When once you`ve begun

Tell of the moon above so high
The humuhumunukunuku go swimming by
Talk about the boys all hurrying back
To the little brown gal in the little grass shack

Do the hula
If you`d like to whisper I love you
It's the thing to do
Picking flowers gets them everytime
In a tropic clime

When you walk on the silvery sands
You'll never have to talk
Simply use your hands

Do the hula
Go into your dance
Do the hula
Along the road to romance

As Old As You're Young


As Old As You're Young
Performer(s): Gentle Giant



Look at the mirror over there, what do you see?
Tell yourself a lie
Are you as old as you seem?
Feel something that you have to
Being open, an innocent, wise only when
Age can mellow the haste
New hopes, ambitions undone - you're only as old as you're young

Out of your youth and you'll find that the time goes
slipping away where no-one knows
Soon enough Winter is changing to Spring
always understand one life it goes

Never as old as you're young and everything still yet to find
Dreams not realized
Thoughts rising, duties and vows continue, can't wait for you

Now is the day, tomorrow comes without an end
Mark time follow the sun - you're only as old as you're young

Out of your youth and you'll find that the time goes
slipping away where no-one knows
Soon enough Winter is changing to Spring
always understand one life it goes

So as you look around, look at the things you knew
Never seeking the past
Forget all the things you have done - you're only as old as you're young
Still open eyed and promises never quite complete
Working head in the air
The coming of age never comes - You're only as old as you're young

Do The Funky Chicken


Do The Funky Chicken
Composer(s): Rufus Thomas
Performer(s): Rufus Thomas



Y'all come on in now
Come right on down front
I got something I want to show you
Now y'all heard of the Popcorn
Y'all heard of the Dog
You heard about all your other dances
But now there's a brand new dance
That's going around
I want to show you exactly what I'm talking about
I'm talking about the funky chicken, y'all ready?

You raise the left arm up
and your right arm too
Let me tell you just what to do
Start both of 'em to flapping
You start your feet to kicking
That's when you know
You doin' the funky chicken

You put both arms up across your face
You knees start wiggling all over the place
You flap your arms
and your feet start kicking
Then you know you doin' the funky chicken

Oh, I'm feeling it now
I feel so unnecessary
This is the kind
This is the kind of stuff
To make you feel like you
Want to do something nasty
Like waste some chicken gravy
On your white shirt
Right down front here we go y'all

You work both arms and you work both feet
Use a dab of gravy, you right on the beat
You flap your arms
And your feet start kicking
Then you know you doin' the funky chicken

As Much


As Much
Composer(s): Mel Tillis
Performer(s): Don Gibson



As much as the stars need the heaven
As much as the roses need dew
As much as the plea in a baby's cry
Well that's how much I need you

As much as the flowers need sunshine
As much as the sky needs the blue
As much as much as my love is true
Well that's how much I need you

I need you I need you to guide me this much I know it's true
You alone are my inspiration in everything I do
As much as the stars need the heaven...
Well that's how much I need you

As Minhas Meninas


As Minhas Meninas
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Olha as minhas meninas
As minhas meninas
Pra onde é que elas vão
Se já saem sozinhas
As notas da minha canção
Vão as minhas meninas
Levando destinos
Tão iluminados de sim
Passam por mim
E embaraçam as linhas
Da minha mão

As meninas são minhas
Só minhas na minha ilusão
Na canção cristalina
Da mina da imaginação
Pode o tempo
Marcar seus caminhos
Nas faces
Com as linhas
Das noites de não
E a solidão
Maltratar as meninas
As minhas não

As meninas são minhas
Só minhas
As minhas meninas
Do meu coração

Do The Clam


Do The Clam Composer(s): Dolores Fuller - Sid Wayne - Ben Weisman Performer(s): Elvis Presley and multiple other artists



Hey everybody gather round
Listen to that bongo sound
Grab the first one in your reach
Now we're going to shake the beach
Do the Clam, do the Clam
Grab your barefoot baby by the hand
Turn and tease, hug and squeeze
Dig right in and do the Clam
You can get your heart to spin
On the outside looking in
Moon ain't gonna last all night
Well let's work up an appetite
Do the Clam, do the Clam
Grab your barefoot baby by the hand
Turn and tease, hug and squeeze
Dig right in and do the Clam
Everybody's got that beat
Well listen to those happy feet
Ain't you glad that you found out
What the Clam is all about
Do the Clam, do the Clam
Grab your barefoot baby by the hand
Turn and tease, hug and squeeze
Dig right in and do the Clam
Do the Clam, do the Clam
Grab your barefoot baby by the hand
Turn and tease, hug and squeeze
Dig right in and do the Clam
Dig right in and do the Clam

As Long As You Follow


As Long As You Follow
Composer(s): Christine McVie
Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac



I’ve been searching
For a pot of gold
Like the kind you find
At the end of the rainbow

I’ve been dreaming
Thought it was in vain
Ah but now you’re here
Can’t believe that you’re back again

Now I know I can’t lose
As long as you follow
I’m gonna win (I’m gonna win)
I’m gonna beg, steal, or borrow
As long as you follow

I’ve bee wandering
Gone away too far
But the road was rough
To get back where you are

And the sun went down
It never seemed to rise
Ah but now you’re here
With the light shining in your eyes

Now I know I can’t lose
As long as you follow
I’m gonna win (I’m gonna win)
I’m gonna beg, steal, or borrow
Yes I can live today
If you give me tomorrow
As long as you follow

Now I know I can’t lose
As long as you follow
I’m gonna win (I’m gonna win)
I’m gonna beg, steal, or borrow
Yes I can live today
If you give me tomorrow
As long as you follow

As long as you follow (as long as you follow)
As long as you follow (as long as you follow)
As long as you follow (as long as you follow)
As long as you follow (as long as you follow)

Do The Best You Can Composer(s): Allan Clarke - Tony Hicks - Graham Nash Performer(s): The Hollies



When you come across The guy who thinks he's boss Yet never knows the reason why He won't let you pass Won't answer things you ask He's got his orders do or die Someone said to me If you tip the doorman heavily His doors will open wide for you Goes to show what money can do Win again lose again Don't feel sad when things go bad You just do the best you can Do the best you can Please be kind to those Who fail to comprehend And in time who knows You'll maybe make a friend If you leave your car And you're not going far Remember what time to be back If it slips your mind I'm sure in time you'll find A Rita waiting in a mac Someone said to me If you tip the doorman heavily His doors will open wide for you Goes to show what money can do Win again lose again Don't feel sad when things go bad You just do the best you can Do the best you can Win again lose again Don't feel sad when things go bad You just do the best you can Do the best you can Do the best you can

As Long As There's Music


As Long As There's Music
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Jule Styne
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists



As long as there's music and words of romance
The spell of a theme starts you to dream there's always a chance
As long as there's music, whatever the song

As long as there's music for sweethearts to sing
I'll sing you, my love, melodies of the birds on the wing
My loneliest days will never seem long
As long as there's music and you are the song

As long as there's music for sweethearts to sing
I'll sing you, my love, melodies of the birds on the wing
My loneliest days will never seem long
As long as there's music and you are the song

Hela, Ga Met Me Mee, Ja


Hela, Ga Met Me Mee, Ja
Composer(s): Dries Holten
Performer(s): Theo en Marjan



Hela, kom met me mee, ja, 'k wil met je dansen, de hele nacht
Hela, kom met me mee, ja, op deze kans heb ik lang gewacht
Ik dans met jou de wereld rond
Ik ben zo blij dat ik jou vond
M'n hart dat zal steeds voor je slaan
Zolang er sterren aan de hemel staan
Hee, hee, hee
Hela, kom met me mee, ja, 'k wil met je dansen, de hele nacht
Hela, kom met me mee, ja, op deze kans heb ik lang gewacht
Ik dans met jou de wereld rond
Ik ben zo blij dat ik jou vond
M'n hart dat zal steeds voor je slaan
Zolang er sterren aan de hemel staan

Toen ik jou daar zag zitten had ik enkel oog voor jou
En ik dacht bij mezelf: "O, als 'ie mij eens vragen zou"
Toen was het snel bekeken en we bleven bij elkaar
Je keek me in m'n ogen en vroeg alleen nog maar

Hela, kom met me mee, ja, 'k wil met je dansen, de hele nacht
Hela, kom met me mee, ja, op deze kans heb ik lang gewacht
Ik dans met jou de wereld rond
Ik ben zo blij dat ik jou vond
M'n hart dat zal steeds voor je slaan
Zolang er sterren aan de hemel staan

't Is al een tijd geleden dat de liefde voor ons kwam
En jij me lachend aankeek en me in je armen nam
Maar als ik weer moest kiezen zou 'k alles over doen
Ik keek weer in je ogen en vroeg je net als toen

Hela, kom met me mee, ja, 'k wil met je dansen, de hele nacht
Hela, kom met me mee, ja, op deze kans heb ik lang gewacht
Ik dans met jou de wereld rond
Ik ben zo blij dat ik jou vond
M'n hart dat zal steeds voor je slaan
Zolang er sterren aan de hemel staan
Hee, hee, hee
Hela, kom met me mee, ja, 'k wil met je dansen, de hele nacht
Hela, kom met me mee, ja, op deze kans heb ik lang gewacht...

Composer(s): Justin Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



Though I can’t come to see you everyday
It just happen things worked out this way
Ah but that don’t mean your not the apple of your Daddy’s eye
And As Long As There's A Sunday I’ll come by

As Long As There's A Sunday Your Daddy’s here
No I think about and love you all the time
And even though dear somehow said I have no right to you
But As Long As There's A Sunday you’ll be mine

And someday dear I hope you’ll understand
That I come by as often as I can
So you be good and mind your Mom, and tell her I said “Hi”
And As Long As There's A Sunday I’ll come by

And someday dear I hope you’ll understand
That I come by as often as I can
So you be good and mind your Mom, and tell her I said “Hi”

As long as there's a hill there's a valley
As long as there's a valley then the river can flow free
As long as there's a sun there's a shadow

A secret place that no-one knows
But you and me and the lonely breeze that blows

A secret place to run and hide
A secret love can't be denied
A secret place that no-one knows
But you and me and the lonely breeze that blows

As long as there's a valley then the river can flow free
As long as there's a sun there's a shadow
As long as there's a shadow there's a place for you and me
