Doctor Dolittle


Doctor Dolittle Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse



Matthew: This is the world of Doctor Dolittle The wonderful world of Doctor Dolittle Where crocodiles talk And elephants sing And animals do most any old thing Where polar bears wear top hats And leopards with spots wear spats Well, that's life in the world of Doctor Dolittle Doves start to coo when they see Dolittle He has a profound philosophy If animals can be friends, says he Well then, why can't we? Say "how-d'you-do" to Doctor Dolittle Life is a zoo to Doctor Dolittle Where antilopes lope And ostriches fan And kangaroos do that kangaroos can To make the hyenas laugh As long as a long giraffe Matthew & Tommy: Every calf starts to moo when they see Dolittle Even the few who used to moo little For all of the birds and beasts agree He has a profound philosophy And so why can't we? Yes, all of the birds and beasts agree He has a proud philosophy And so why can't we... Matthew: "Do little" things to help them Both: Why can't we? Matthew: G'night, Tom sweet dreams! Tommy & The Animals: This is the world of Doctor Dolittle A rare world that people get to view little Where penguins parade in black cravats An' sabre-toothed tigers purr like cats At yaks that relax an' doze While hippos play dominoes... Roosters crow from the moment they see Dolittle They used to... -a-doodle-doo little! The answer is not too hard to see If he can bring so much harmony Well then, why can't we "Do little" things to help him? Why... can't... we?

I Need You (Roy Black)


I Need You
((German Version: Ganz in Weiß (Roy Black))
Performer(s): Roy Black



I need you - to hold me close again
For I knew I won't be happy until then
I need you - you're all I'm living for
Ev'ry day that slips away I need you more
Oh my love - please listen to my pray'r
Tell me whore and tell me when and I'll be there

All the letters in the world
can't replace my little girl
I need you - my love I need you so
No all the letters in the world
can't replace my little girl
I need you - my love I need you so

Doctor


Doctor
Composer(s): INXS
Performer(s): INXS



We're all running fast tonight
Rocket shoes on our feet
There's a planet where it's right
I'm sure we'll get there by next week

I could've been a doctor
I could've been a lawyer
I could've been a scientist
I could've been normal
Especially in the daylight

You say don't worry while in flight
The darkness is like a fog
I won't get scared
I won't get tired
I've been in space so damn long

The Earth is just a big blue dot
I can't see the cars and planes
There's a planet where it's right
I'm sure we'll get there by next week

Ganz in Weiß
((English Version: I Need You (by Roy Black))
Performer(s): Roy Black



Ganz in Weiß mit einem Blumenstrauß
so siehst du in meinen schönsten Träumen aus
Ganz verliebt, schaust du mich strahlend an
Es gibt nichts mehr was uns beide trennen kann
Ganz in Weiß so gehst du neben mir
und die Liebe lacht aus jedem Blick von dir
Ja dann reichst du mir die Hand
und du siehst so glücklich aus
ganz in Weiß mit einem Blumenstrauß

Ja dann reichst du mir die Hand
und du siehst so glücklich aus
ganz in Weiß mit einem Blumenstrauß

Ganz in Weiß so gehst du neben mir
und die Liebe lacht aus jedem Blick von dir
Ja dann reichst du mir die Hand
und du siehst so glücklich aus
ganz in Weiß mit einem Blumenstrauß
Ja dann reichst du mir die Hand
und du siehst so glücklich aus
ganz in Weiß mit einem Blumenstrauß

Docteur Jekyll Et Monsieur Hyde


Docteur Jekyll Et Monsieur Hyde
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg



Hello Docteur Jekyll
Non je n'suis pas le Docteur Jekyll
Hello Docteur Jekyll
Mon nom est Hyde, Mister Hyde
Docteur Jekyll il avait en lui
Un Monsieur Hyde qui était son mauvais génie
Mister Hyde n'disait rien
Mais en secret n'en pensait pas moins

Hello Docteur Jekyll
Je vous dis que je ne suis pas le docteur Jekyll
Hello Docteur Jekyll
Mon nom est Hyde, Mister Hyde
Docteur Jekyll n'a eu dans sa vie
Que de petites garc's qui se foutaient de lui
Mister Hyde dans son cœur
Prenait des notes pour le docteur

Hello Docteur Jekyll
Il n'y a plus de Docteur Jekyll
Hello Docteur Jekyll
Mon nom est Hyde, Mister Hyde
Docteur Jekyll un jour a compris
Que c'est ce Monsieur Hyde qu'on aimait en lui
Mister Hyde ce salaud
A fait la peau du Docteur Jekyll
Docteur Jekyll, Docteur Jekyll

Docteur


Docteur Composer(s): J.P. Bucolo - Francis Cabrel Performer(s): Francis Cabrel



Hey Docteur, j'ai déjà pas mal
De tours au compteur
Pas mal d'années derrière
J'aimerais faire moins que mon âge
Est-ce que tu peux faire un peu de ménage
Sur la peau de mon visage?
Faut que tu effaces
Toutes ces traces
Creusées sur ma figure
Trempe mon cœur dans le ciment
Mes cheveux dans la peinture
Je ne sortirai plus jamais
Sans plusieurs couches de fourrure
Ma famille a de l'argent... Docteur
Hey Sorcier
Pourquoi sommes nous fiers comme des rochers
Fragiles comme du verre?
Je préfère le silex
Ce temps qui passe et moi qui passe avec
Je prends ça comme un échec
Faut que tu effaces
Toutes ces traces
Creusées sur ma figure
Trempe mon cœur dans le ciment
Mes cheveux dans la peinture
Je ne sortirai plus jamais
Sans plusieurs couches de fourrure
Ma famille a de l'argent... Docteur
On est tous pareil
Il est pour moi le soleil
On est tous les mêmes
C'est moi que j'aime
Faut que tu effaces
Toutes ces traces
Creusées sur ma figure
Trempe mon cœur dans le ciment
Mes cheveux dans la peinture
Je ne sortirai plus jamais
Sans plusieurs couches de fourrure
Ma famille a de l'argent... Docteur
J'aimerais faire moins que mon âge
Est-ce que tu peux faire un peu de ménage
Sur la peau de mon visage?
Je préfère les silex
Ce temps qui passe et moi qui passe avec
Je prends ça comme un échec

Assez ... Assez


Assez ... Assez
Composer(s): David Mc Neil - Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc



Assez de ces
Machins pointus
De tout c'qui blesse
De tout c'qui tue
Couteaux, coupe-coupes
Et balles perdues
Assez de ces
Machins pointus...
Assez, assez, assez, assez

Assez de ces
Machins qui griffent
Crampons de foot
Bijoux Van Cleef
Tonton-macoutes
Scouts à canifs
Assez de ces
Machins qui griffent...
Assez, assez, assez, assez

Faut des ronds
Faut des courbes
Des marchands d'marrons
Rue Lecourbe
Faut des ballons
Des cerceaux
Et les seins de
Sophie Marceau...
Assez, assez, assez, assez

Assez de ces
Machins qui piquent
Serpents-pythons
Et porc-épics
Du hérisson
Microscopique
Assez de ces
Machins qui piquent...

Faut des ronds
Faut des courbes
Des marchands d'marrons
Rue Lecourbe
Faut des ballons
Des cerceaux
Et les seins de
Sophie Marceau...
Assez, assez, assez, assez

Bon, Cupidon est dispensé
Les abeilles et les crustacés
OK, mais pas les chiens dressés
Les pit-bulls et les verres cassés
Les cutters des cours de lycée
Les harponneurs de cétacés
Tout ce qui blesse, ooh! c'est assez
Effacez tout, recommencez...

Docklands


Docklands Composer(s): Betsy Cook - Trevor Horn Performer(s): Stevie Nicks



Papa says... there are clothes to wash Sister says... brush your hair You'll go down... to the laundromat Maybe your sister is there Father says... when you're young like this... Things can seem... pretty bad Let's get out... and walk by the river And there are people who roam the Docklands And there are ships passing in the night And there are thousands of things that I have dreamed Gone in the daylight Sister says... hold your head up high Life goes on... so don't be afraid Keep your defenses... but don't shut the loving out You got to learn to carry that weight And all the people who roam the Docklands And all the ships passing through the night And there are thousands of things that I have dreamed Gone in the daylight Sometimes I feel like I'm in a foreign land And there's a mirror I'm looking through Lost in the place where I was born Without a hand to hold on to Hold on... hold on Hold on... hold on In the Docklands where I was born... People keep moving to and fro Everybody's pushing... trying to make it happen I beg of you... I beg of you... I beg of you I miss you... more than I thought I could I need you... more than you know I was there... when they took you away from me I'll be there... when they let you go And then the people who roam the Docklands And all the ships passing in the night And the thousands of things that I have dreamed Stay in the daylight Sometimes I feel like I'm in a foreign land And there's a mirror I'm looking through Well bring me back to the place where I was born Without a hand to hold on to Give me your hand Give me your hand... give me your hand Give me your hand... in the Docklands I... beg of you... give me your hand In the Docklands

Beds Are Burning


Beds Are Burning
Composer(s): Rob Hirst - Jim Moginie - Peter Garrett
First release by: Midnight Oil - 1986
Covered by multiple other artists



Out where the river broke
The blood wood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share

The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent, now
To pay our share

Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent, now
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
We're gonna give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning

Doch Einer Spielt Akkordeon


Doch Einer Spielt Akkordeon
((French & Spanish Versions: Mais Il Y A L'accordéon (Dalida); Al Escuchar Mi Acordeón (Dalida))
Composer(s): Johnny Rech - Hachfeld
Performer(s): Dalida



Ich seh die welt in resignation
Ich seh den krieg die aggression
Die erde erschuttern revolution
Herzen aus stein hass nur und hohn

Ich weiss diese welt ist böse statt gut
Ich weiss der himmel der über uns ruht
Mit rosa wolken in sanfter glut
Ist ein spiegel der erde rot von blut

Doch einer spielt Akkordeon
Spielt mit passion Akkordeon
Und es erblüht in seinem ton
Die welt als schöne illusion
Doch einer spielt Akkordeon
Spielt mit passion Akkordeon
Und es erschalit bei seinem ton
Die ganze schöne welt

Die Liebe endet so olt im streit
Es klagt ein herz in der einsamkeit
Wir taumein, taumein
Durch unsere zeit
Wir suchen das Glück
Das Glück ist weit

Doch einer spielt Akkordeon
Spielt mit passion Akkordeon
Und es erblüht in seinem ton
Die welt als schöne illusion
Doch einer spielt Akkordeon
Spielt mit passion Akkordeon
Und es erschalit bei seinem ton
Die ganze schöne welt

Dort im bistro, um das die katzen streichen
Ein gläschen wein, lass uns die hände reichen
Die dunklen schatten sollen von uns weichen
Nichts mehr von schmerz
Enttäuschung und dergleichen

Und einer spielt Akkordeon
Spielt mit passion Akkordeon
Und es erblüht in seinem ton
Frankreich als schöne ilusion
Und einer spielt Akkerdeon
Spielt mit passion Akkordeon
Und es erschallt bei seinem ton
Ein schönes Frankreich

Aspetto Te


Aspetto Te
((Adapted from: Je T'attends ((by Charles Aznavour) - 1963))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Gilbert Bécaud - Georges Calabrese
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour - 1975

Versions In Other Languages:
1966 - Ich Erwarte Dich (by Alexandra)
1966 - Waar Ben Jij (by Conny Vandenbos)
2000 - Te Espero (by Charles Aznavour)



Notti bianche, giorni neri senza te
Hanno steso un velo d'ombra intorno a me
Muore il tempo nella noia dei perché
Da una vita senza gioia aspetto te
L'aria della primavera che non c'è
Col sorriso dei vent'anni in mano a te
La mia calma e le tempeste cerco in te
Da una vita senza gioie aspetto te
Io son qui ed aspetto te
Chiunque sai, ovunque vai
Corri qui, da me
Io son qui, sogno senza età
E se non so che nome hai
Ti chiamerò amor

Ogni giorno si trasforma accanto a te
E la vita prende forma insieme a te
Il mio attendere diventa in fondo a me
Un pittore che ti inventa e aspetto te
Una mano immaginaria innanzi a me
Sta formandoti nell'aria e vedo te
Ma nel sogno che si spezza, che non c'è
Non rimane che tristezza, aspetto te
Io son qui ed aspetto te
Chiunque sei, ovunque vai
Corri qui, corri qui da me
Io, io son qui
Sogno senza età
E se non so che nome hai
Ti chiamerò amor

Doce Campanadas


Doce Campanadas
Composer(s): Federico Baena
Performer(s): Javier Solís



Llegó la media noche con su sombra de recuerdos
las horas se hacen viejas y la luna bostezó
Y escucho en la distancia con el aletear del viento
un organillo triste que me canta tu canción

Llegó la media noche con su ruido de silencio
las cosas que dejaste aún te esperan como yo
La historia se repite noche a noche y tú no llegas
son doce campanadas que me llenan de dolor

Llegó la media noche con su ruido de silencio
las cosas que dejaste aún te esperan como yo
La historia se repite noche a noche y tú no llegas
son doce campanadas que me llenan de dolor

Kleine Kokette Katinka
Composer(s): Joop Stokkermans - Henny Hamhuis - Lodewijk Post
Performer(s): Paul de Leeuw; De Spelbrekers



Elke morgen om half negen
Komen wij Katinka tegen
Rode muts en blonde lok
Hel geel truitje, blauwe rok
Maar ze trippelt zwijgend naast haar ma
Daarom zingen alle jongens haar verlangend na
Kleine kokette Katinka
Kijk nou eens een keertje om
Stiekempjes over je schouder
Je ma ziet het toch niet dus kom
Kleine kokette Katinka
Ben je verlegen misschien
We willen zo graag nog heel even
Een glimp van je wipneusje zien

Elke morgen, zon of regen
Komen wij Katinka tegen
Hakjes tik-tak op de stoep
Korte rok met nauwe coup
Maar haar blik verraadt geen nee of ja
Daarom zingen alle jongens haar verlangend na

Kleine kokette Katinka
Kijk nou eens een keertje om
Stiekempjes over je schouder
Je ma ziet het toch niet dus kom
Kleine kokette Katinka
Ben je verlegen misschien
We willen zo graag nog heel even
Een glimp van je wipneusje zien

Kleine kokette Katinka
Kijk nou eens een keertje om
Stiekempjes over je schouder
Je ma ziet het toch niet dus kom
Kleine kokette Katinka
Ben je verlegen misschien
We willen zo graag nog heel even
Een glimp van je wipneusje zien

La la la la la la la la...
La la la la la la la la...
La la la la la la la la...

Doc Holliday
Composer(s): Paulovic
Performer(s): Hank Williams Jr.



Old Doc Holliday was tendin' the town
Old Doc Holliday was tendin' the town
But he heard the news goin' around
that the plain Fuel Kid is gonna shoot him down
Won't you have another drink on me Doc Holliday
Have another drink on me (Doc Holliday)
Have another drink on me Doc Holliday
the Kid ain't gonna shoot you down

Old Doc Holliday was leanin' on the stand
pistol on his hip and red iron in his hand
The Kid come waddlin' down the street
old Doc said Kid saints know that you're mean
Won't you have another drink on me...

The Kid drew his pistol and Doc did too
Doc got to him shot him through
But Kid looked up said don't shoot me more
but Doc just smiled and emptied his 44
Oh won't you have another drink on me...
Have another drink on me...

Asleep On The Wind


Asleep On The Wind
Performer(s): Jimmy Webb



Love is a glass of wine
Balanced on the siderail of a ship
Across the sea at midnight, it may not last the daylight
And the trip is long
And the waves are strong
But then again, it might be up there forever
I've heard of birds that never touch the land
But sleep on the winds
And if untouched by someone's careless hand
Asleep on the winds
Our love might last until the journey's end
Alive Alive

And our lives are just bubbles of time
They're rainbow-colored and
They're shining in the sun
They drift above the treetops now
In danger if the breeze drops somehow
And darling, that's all it would take
And yet we threaten not to break
And you know we could be up here forever
I've heard of birds that never touch the land
But sleep on the winds
And if untouched by someone's careless hand
Asleep on the winds
Our lives might last untill the love begins

So stay alive and let me try as hard as you do
To stay alive, please let me be as much alive as you
Alive Alive

Doble Vida


Doble Vida Composer(s): Jaime Asua - Joaquín Sabina Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto; Joaquín Sabina



El juez justo y severo
cada noche devuelve la toga
y la ley al baul
y en la barra del "Angel azul"
pide Chivas con hielo
y le canta al oido a la "Chelo"
quimeras de amor
de razano, Gardel y Lepera
El juez justo y severo
al ritmo decadente de un bolero
en la ciudad prohibida
olvida su disfraz de caballero
lleva una doble vida

Su discreta señora
cada lunes alternos decora
la frente del juez
en un cuarto oscuro de hotel
Con un Rambo de esos
que le cobran por horas los besos
y saben hacer que una dama
cometa un exceso
su discreta señora
furtiva, maquillada y pecadora
en la ciudad prohibida
se empolva la nariz hasta la aurora
lleva una doble vida

Cena de matrimonio
doña Ines dice ¿quieres Antonio
servir el champagne en el living?
hoy voy a brindar
cuenta su señoria
por aquel violador de entrevias
recuerdas mi amor
voy a darle quince años y un dia
El santo matrimonio
que forman doña Ines y don Antonio
en la ciudad prohibida
pone una vela a dios
y otra al demonio
lleva una doble vida

100 Years


100 Years
Composer(s): Joey Dyser
First release by: Joey Dyser - 1974



The other day I felt so young
But now you made me 100 years
If you turned around look what you've done
You'll see my eyes , you'll see my tears

My friends all say:
Don't cry to long
There is another love to come
They maybe right they maybe wrong
But still I love you, hear my song

You disappeared without goodbye
Knowing so well, you'd make me cry
But troubles you could never face

So you just left an empty place

My friends all say:
Don't cry to long
There is another love to come
They maybe right they maybe wrong
But still I love you, hear my song

The first kiss made a fool of me

Ask The Lonely


Ask The Lonely
Composer(s): Ivy Jo Hunter - William Stevenson
First release by: Four Tops - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



Just ask the lonely
When you feel
That you can make it all alone
Remember no one is big enough
To go it all alone

Just ask the lonely
They know the hurting pain
Of losing the love
You can never regain
Just ask the lonely

The young and foolish
Who laugh at love and slowly run away
Confident and sure that fate
Will bring another love their way

But ask the lonely
How vainly a heart can yearn
For losing a love
That will never return
Just ask the lonely

They'll tell you a story of sadness
A story too hard to believe
They'll tell you
The loneliest one is me

Just ask the lonely
Ask me, I'm the loneliest one of all

Do You? Don't You? Will You? Won't You?


Do You? Don't You? Will You? Won't You?
Composer(s): Eddy Eckels; Leroy Stover



Do you know my heart's aching
Wondering if you'll say no
Don't you see that it's breaking
Because I love you so
Will you give me a chance dear
Girlies like you are quite few
Won't you think dear
how lonesome life is without a girl like you

Do you remember kid days
You used to tease me then too
Don't you see with those kid ways
That you make me feel blue
Will you come close and whisper
That you've been teasing in fun
Won't you be mine for now
I think it's time our hearts were made one

Do you, Don't you, Will you, Won't you
Love me sweetheart dear
Can I, Can't I, Shall I, Shan't I
with you be sincere
Will you, won't you love but me
Would you, could you, happy be
Do you? Don't you? Will you?
Won't you love me tenderly?
